S09.E10: Michael's Story LIVE CHAT

[Guest]

"I really hate people." -- Michael

"Right back at you." -- People

[Floatingbison]

What did society ever do to you, Michael?  You got the sweet bowler.

[7EasyPayments]

Well you CAN'T have one chicken breast, I mean c'mon. They come in pairs.

I really have nothing against LARPing. I’m just hating this couple tonight.

Which character? I’d name a kid after Tara or Willow, if I were to have kids, which I never would have.

He's a boy, and he's named Riley after Riley Finn.  I tried to get the kids to name our cats Buffy and Willow, but they chose Sunny and Cher instead.  The cats are 15 years old and I'm still bitter. 

[ams1001]

If you hate people how'd you get a wife?

Wife giggles like a lovestruck teenager.

Jeez.

[TazDevil]

Stay in your lane Dr. Now.  You're treading into Lola and Paradise territory!

[Floatingbison]

I hate society.

This ep has Dr. Paradise written all over it.

[umgoblue]

He sounds like he is threatening or demanding that Dr. Now perform this surgery...

He's being really short with him...and I don't like it!

Me:  Michael, you are dead to me!

[poeticlicensed]

I hate society is not a great mantra for raising children

Consider they met while LARPing. 

Oldest kid named after a Buffy character?

I have a GOT character and a Nicholas Cage character myself lol

[mmecorday]

I'm wondering about the puzzle motif on the band of his hat. That's sometimes a sign for autism awareness.

[WonTon]

Hmm....something about this couple is coming off kinda phony to me.

[Scarlett45]

I don’t understand when people say that they “hate people” but they chose to marry and reproduce. You supposedly “hate people” but you willingly let another one live in your house and then you chose to make MORE people, again that will live in your house......makes not a lick of sense. Obviously you don’t hate people. If you hate something you don’t surround yourself with it!

[Concerned]

Dr Now cut through his blubbering.

[Floatingbison]

Bite the bullet, unless it's over 50 calories.

[ams1001]

Clearly not "done" or we wouldn't be here. 

[Guest]

Is Michael done?

HE IS DONE. DONE AND DONE.

((45 minutes from now))

He is not done.

[mk828]

Just think how Dr. Paradise is going to look standing next to this guy.. Gonna look like he's standing next to Shaq

My daughter is named after a character on Moonlighting. Now nobody knows what that show is but I used to love it.

I remember that show. My late husband loved Bruce Willis' stupid jokes. He also thought I looked like Miss Depesto. I never thought so, but I think it was the whole demeanor, the hair, etc., not just the face. Personally, Bruce Willis drove me so nuts, I couldnt' get behind the show.

[PaTatertots]

Easier said than "Done and done." My dude. 

[Floatingbison]

Agoraphobic AND a misanthrope.   Dr. Paradise is in the next room over chomping at the bit.

I wonder if that's why the sons have a babysitter?    

I'm wondering if Michael will turn out to be the patient who can't have surgery, from the scar tissue and adhesions.

Why does he have a hat on inside?

Yes. When they said the kids had a babysitter I wondered if the older son wasn’t cognitively typical- and leaving him would be too much responsibility on the younger son.

Like...everything?

There’s some dark stuff going on. Or maybe I just still hate him.

Disclaimer: I have become so accustomed to them not making it to Dr Now's before I have to drop off for a work call, I may have missed a weight guess.  

Tonight's winner is @Arynm with a prescient guess of 638 pounds.  Johnny, tell them what they've won!

You've won:

• Five loaves of garlic bread (a.k.a. a snack)
• A vat of scar salve 
• A PS5 controller (sorry, we cannot offer the full system)
• A spray bottle for personal cleansing
• A handy shaving machete 
• And, as always, the respect and awe of your fellow pounders! 

Yay! My first win! I would like to offer to share my machete, as I know many of you probably are not shaving your bellies like you should be doing.

I will try very hard to not let this win go to my head, but I am a glowing star and now everyone knows it.

[Eldemarge]

I just got home.  There is a giant man in a weird hat.  That's all.

[Floatingbison]

Honest to god, his wife could pass as normal in all respects.  She seems nice.  

[Guest]

Oh my god. That fucking stupid hat.

It amazes me that these people who are (to be honest) so unattractive plus have a sucky personality end up with a nice mate/

She probably has her own skeletons in the closet!  Maybe we will even see some before the show is over.

I admit I hate school functions although I suck it up and do them for my child. A lot of the parents remind me of the "Mean Girls" from junior high/high school so I tend not to socialize with them. I would never want to go back to high school like some people, college was the best.

There's something very Patty Simcox about his wife.

I had begun to wonder if you had stopped doing them.  I sure missed them the past couple weeks.

I like his bowler, but then, I'm A Clockwork Orange fan.

Bwahahaha! Now there's a name only us over 40 will recognize!

[umgoblue]

Dr. Now just had to school her:

Ish...you have been in control of his eating all this time with your 15yo surgery and have changed nothing.  So go kick rocks with your shit.  And don't try to give an Oscar winning performance for the camera.

Fin.

She does seem nice. He was probably nice when they got together but the depression and the isolation has altered his personality. 

[Pepper Mostly]

Wifey's going to do it. Michael, not so much. Check out the difference in their body language. She's leaning in, making eye contact, responding positively. He's leaning back, looking a the ceiling, grunting. 

[Guest]

LOL at Dr Now inspecting Michael's arm. The man probably hasn't done a blood draw in 40 years.

It’ll only go downhill from this point.

Pull up a few pizzas and a lb of pasta and enjoy!

Wifey is annoying

I wondered about that also. Is his hat his beacon to let people know that he's on the spectrum? He certainly has the social skills and difficulty regulating emotion of many autistic people/people with autism (which way is correct changes with every FB post about it). 

His social skills remind me of the late Sean with the disturbing Munchausen by Proxy mother.

I really hope so.  

[Kid]

Want to bet he gets nasty when he does not get the food he wants?

Did he shush her??

[OoogleEyes]

Why wasn't she so fucking enthusiastic about 7 years ago?

[Burning Rubber]

I am late to the party. I made cardamom cake today.

1/4 cup butter

3/4 cup sugar

1 egg

1 1/2 cup cake flour

1/2 cup yellow corn flour

3/4 cup condensed milk

1/2 cup pumpkin puree

2 1/2 tablespoons cardamom

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon vanilla

3/4 cup floured golden raisins

You know the rest of the drill.

Edited February 25, 2021 by Burning Rubber
Forgot the raisins
