This is kind of bizarre.  I don't go to a store because I "like people."  It's a store and I need stuff and other people will be there.  

Gimmie a break.

Especially now with Covid, people aren't looking at you as much they are just worried about getting what they need and getting out.

I'm not 100% sure he got fat fat to avoid the pedo counselor. 

It's nice to have a lively narrator for a change.

He was looking for a logical reason to explain his OVEReating. 

[Suzywriter]

He liked Dr. Paradise. Dr. Paradise is a people!

[ShortyMac]

Burning the food? Just throw it out.

[Donut Bear]

I think the wife does not want him to succeed.  She has a look on her face that suggests she is not happy about him feeling good about the therapy.

[hookedontv]

He’s burning food? Isn’t there’s a food bank he could donate to? 

[OoogleEyes]

Don't burn the Tupperware!

[Burning Rubber]

She has to massage his fat apron when he overeat, wow, that's love. His wife loves him deeply.

[Guest]

Burn the Eggos!

((five minutes later, family goes inside, Michael is fishing out the toasted Eggos from the burn pit)

[Pepper Mostly]

Oh for fucks sake Michael. Didn't you say you've had "tons of therapy"? And no one, NO ONE, made suggestions like Dr. Paradise did? You are full of shit. 

Burn it? Why not take it to a food bank you asshole?

What is it about his sunny disposition that she is attracted to? I don't get it.

He is horrible and he hates people: her?

 

Before I could even finish this post, I am now forced to comment on the letter writing campaign again. 

Can we up our game and asked people to text the dead, departed, abandoners?!?!?  It's 2021 people!

Maybe he can contact them with his spiritual supplies. 

[DropTheSoap]

“As soon as I’m able...”

After my goodbye meals. 

[7EasyPayments]

He is a DRAMA queen. Ugh.

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

I remember Moonlighting!

My son's ex-girlfriend is one of a set of twins named Kate and Allie. 

My name can be shortened to Allie* and my junior year college roommate's name was Kate. 😛 

My freshman college dorm room number was 227.

*no one calls me that, though, except sometimes my mom

[WonTon]

Donate the food! I HATE the thought of food going to waste. It infuriates me!

[Suzywriter]

I get the burning ritual. It's like a funeral or a cremation to mark the end of the relationship with the food. It's actually a pretty healthy idea.

[PaTatertots]

Burning food, wtf!?

KIM, THERE'S PEOPLE THAT ARE STARVING. 

[mmecorday]

It's food, dude. It's not your Jedi Master father who turned to the Dark Side and then in the last moments of his life saved you from the lightning finger torture.

[Concerned]

If the remake Game of Thrones, he can be Hodar.

[Guest]

"The fire will rise again." 

DUDE. They do not give out Emmy awards for acting on a reality show.

I thought he was going to torch his face with the lighter fluid.

Food banks arent going to take things like that

A moment of silence, please, for the Eggos and the Entenmann's coffee cakes.

BECAUSE THERE IS NO DRAAAAAAAAAAAMA IN THAT.

[hookedontv]

“There’s always smoke before fire.” 
WTF. 
 

I say “there’s always bull before shit.”

[babyhouseman]

He's getting all Chicken Soup for the soul around the fire. Dr. Now is my last hope.

[steff13]

Gosh, it seems like some of that stuff could have gone to a food bank.  Not everyone weighs 600 lbs.

About the only time I really give people a look is when I think they're getting so close to me.

[Hellga]

Look at their funereal faces as they are burning that stuff.  That's not how cathartic burning works.

When I was laid off from my first job, I was cleaning out my office and I was actually singing out loud (and I can't sing, so I don't sing in public).  But it was so cathartic as I filled an industrial dumpster with tons and tons of papers (most of them inherited from my predecessors) that I sang war songs in three different languages for two days. 🙂 

[TazDevil]

He's going to regret burning all the food when Dr. Now's tests come back showing that he's not a candidate for surgery.  

[Eldemarge]

I wonder if the wife was like, "Uh, please don't destroy all my groceries" if he would freak the F out at her.

You know this guy was burning things in his backyard, listening to Skinny Puppy and wearing crystals and all the chunky silver rings in 1991.   

[Burning Rubber]

My guess is 604.

This alone would make this episode 10000x more enjoyable.

[CrazyInAlabama]

When we lived in San Diego, years ago, at least once a year they had a story about two pilots who were always assigned to the same aircraft carrier, Gene Autry and Roy Rogers.   

There must have been someone who would have taken the unopened food.    

I don't want to see his Endoscopy,     He's going to have to lose 300 at least, to shrink that giant belly before surgery.   I bet he has a giant abdominal hernia too.   (I'm not a doctor, but I watch ER, Grey's Anatomy the early seasons, and I guess every episode of this show).

The little eggos and coffee cakes will be horrified the fat man cremated their parents.

He didn't stop 5 times for fast food on the way to Dr Now, is it a 15 minute drive?

Wasn't that the one with the young and not-yet-bald Bruce Willis?  I used to watch it as a kid!

Hodor was a hero whose brain was fried by a dumb (Stark family trait!) kid but he still found it in himself to live a life and die a heroic, albeit horrid death.  Michael can only whine. 

[TazDevil]

Surgery disclaimer what???

Oh, never mind.  It's just for the endoscopy.  You got me on that one, show!

What took so long?

We’re an hour in. I’ve gained 10 lbs of annoyance. 

[Concerned]

Is he LARPing all the time? He seems to be playing the role of molestation survivor, agoraphobia and misanthrope 

[poeticlicensed]

Update from my internet company - you are screwed for the rest of the night.

So off topic, but I'm happy happy happy...

I found out that my boss is underqualified for her job, so I applied for out-of-my-qualifications jobs. 

You are snarking with the NEW Project Coordinator and Courtroom Advocate for Rape Response Services of xxx County. 

When I woke up this morning, I was a part time Activities Assistant at a retirement community.

The Executive Director said when she interviewed me, she knew she had found the exact right person.

I've been jumping up and down all day.
