S10.E04: Mike's Journey LIVE CHAT

[OoogleEyes]

Who ever guessed 747 (like the plane) wins the manboob prize tonight 

[babyhouseman]

Bigger part of their life. He can't get much bigger.

[Pepper Mostly]

Mike looks horrifically unhealthy. 

WHY can no one do a simple introduction? Dr. Now always has to say "and who's this with you?". Pro tip, fatties, when you haul your relatives into the doctor's office, say "and this is my father, Bob" or whatever. Sheesh. 

[mmecorday]

Mike, are you really trying to be a BIGGER part of your kids' lives? Obviously he doesn't understand what Dr. Now is aiming to do.

She was on Colbert this week (not sure which night; I was about to start one of the videos from her interview when the show started).

I just think she is so musically talented.  I did love A Star Is Born because she was in a natural state.  When i get kind of drunk (I live alone) I blast her music.. TMI  Also Celine Dion and Andrea Bocelli (again TMI)

[aliya]

None of these people have manners. 

Hi, I'm Dr Now.

Hello, Dr Now, I'm Aliya, it's a pleasure to meet you. This is my mother, Aliyasmom.

How hard is that?

Shoot - I just posted about that! Drives me nuts.

Dr Now:  "Nobody gives a shit about your concussions, give me a break."

Well he is a human mushroom living in his parent's basement. Guess video games don't teach you many manners. 

[ams1001]

Do you have any goals in life?

 

um.... [blue screen]

[umgoblue]

Mic drop...

Dr. Now:  Then why haven't you been doing that for the past years?!

Mike: {crickets}

And he was just getting started!!!  Hahahahaha

Dad thinks because he played sports its not all that bad. Tom Brady eats only veggies and he's the GOAT

Avocado ice cream is seriously weird though. 😁

Sitting, eating and video games. What a catch!!

If they were less self-absorbed, they probably wouldn't have eaten themselves to whale sizes.

Nick Sabin is the GOAT.

I need an alcoholic drink so I am having a Jamaican Smile frozen cocktail and cuddling my heating pad.

I haven't met him yet. He belongs to their pastor and I guess they're having something done in the parsonage because my mom said they have to move out for a month. My parents are keeping one of their three cats.

I’m not allowed to volunteer at an animal shelter or I will bring them all home…especially cats. He looks like a sweet boy, change is very difficult for cats

He is my age.  I am single.  No way, no how!  🤢

Twopper, and anyone else moving, first purge everything you don't need to take.   Then pack stuff in the plastic storage bins (you should find a lot on sale that are leftovers from Halloween, and soon Christmas colors) fill, and write on the outside with markers what's in them.    That way you can get a company that drops off a semi trailer or the shipping boxes, and hire local movers to pack them.  Then you call the company, they pick them up and store or deliver them for you.   Then, you get local movers on the other end to unpack and place in rooms.    Then, when you unpack the containers, you can donate them (my Habitat for Humanity Restore loves them), unless you are moving again.  

Great idea! I’ve actually donated at least a dozen bags of pretty nice stuff to Goodwill and thrown out almost as much. It’s a great feeling!

I guess Church Lady nurse has replaced Flat Effect nurse.

Flat Affect Nurse probably ran for her life. Maybe she's fled to another state and changed her name and denies everything. 

[Lillith]

If I have to, I have to?? Did he never watch this show?? 

[Eldemarge]

Don't make him move. It will be "stressful" and he'll have to eat 30 Moons Over My Hammys to deal with it.

[sainte-chapelle]

I miss resting bitch face nurse…she made me lol

[TazDevil]

What is with these people who buck on the move to Houston??  You knew what this show was going in!!  Do you think Dr. Now is going to make an exception just for you?

[MsVixen]

Spoiler

HE MAKES HIS OWN BREAKFAST????  BITCH, PLEASE!!!!

 

[mmecorday]

Dr. Now: I have some things for you.

Mike: Please say one of those things is a triple cheeseburger.

But before that he went to school, got married, had a good enough job to allow the purchase of a four bedroom house. He had four kids he was able to support. He can't have been totally socially inept. He had to move through the world and interact with people. 

[Chicklet]

He looks like he just had a religious epiphany. Guess he doesn't realize he can't eat a whole chinese restaurant any more.

And he's set himself up to fail - "my kids are more important" ha.

More like triple bypass by the sounds of his rasping.

We just went through the process. Downsized from a 2000+ sq ft home to an 1000 sq ft apartment. Gave so much to charity. Really purged in the kitchen. I mean who needs 10 skillets? The question i would ask when evaluating if I would keep or get rid of something was do I really want to pay money to move this thing. Mostly it was no.

 

[ams1001]

If it comes down to my kids or surgery, I'll choose my kids. And die early so they can have a tragic backstory for whatever reality show they end up on in 20 years?

[Kid]

This man has a hard time breathing.  The doctor did not check him out.  Unless it was off camera but he did not even comment on it.

Mike will binge on fast food all the way home.

He has already set it up for his kids to be the reason for his failure.

[MsVixen]

I have no idea why I couldn't change that post to be normal.....

[dreadfulLeigh]

Did he show Dr. Now is calf muscle that’s bulging out??

I just asked how he's doing an my mom said:

Fine. He‘s sweet when he isn’t trying to give love bites.

He has adjusted well.

[TazDevil]

So he's already saying he's not going to move to Houston to get surgery.  How does he think this show works?  Does he think Dr. Now just has some magic wand that he waves over people when they first go to his office and the weight drops off?

There have been a few like Dottie, who kept coming for visits to Dr. Now, and then when they had surgery, stayed in town for a couple of weeks until Dr. Now cleared them for travel.   It's dangerous to stay in a vehicle for that long of a trip without regular stops to get out and walk around.

Why is he about to lose custody of the kids?  

[Lillith]

How many concussions did this man have? Super morbidly obese, no job, lives in his parents' basement and he thinks he's getting custody of his kids? It sounds like he barely sees them as it is.

Right? He's so full of shit. We've already seen that he lurks in his parents basement, only emerging once a day to pound down enough breakfast for half a dozen lumberjacks. He wasn't traveling to see those kids. Pants on fire, Mike. 

[Eldemarge]

I bet his lump sees his kids exactly every 8 weeks, while he has his parents entertain them and he plays video games in the basement.  Enough with this devoted dad bullshit.

[dreadfulLeigh]

Oh, good. Finally caught up. Let see if I can crack open this Pinot before this loaf comes back on.

I think their initial visit is a bunch of tests, their first psych interview clearance (not therapy), and Dr. Now finds out if they're candidates for his program.    I'm sure they stay a few days, before they go home.

I hope he gets a checkup, and they edit that out. That they don't drive all that way for Dr Now to tell him he's fat and to plug his book

Yes, he does.

Did others get the boxed wine commercial?  I don't drink, but my sister is a great friend of the boxed wine. This was her Christmas tree a few years ago. I may have posted it before.

[poeticlicensed]

Parents are total enablers. Betting they pay his child support 

[CrazyInAlabama]

I believe that it's probably in the custody agreement that he can't take the kids out of state, so if he moves to Houston he won't see them for the year or however long he's in Houston.  That's usually how the custody agreements work.  

Also, if I was the ex, I would fight like hell to keep the kids out of Houston, it's too close to the Mexican border, and an easy drive from Houston to a border crossing.   So, he can just fly back and see his kids.

Really tired of hearing about pee in the dating pool and this person's huge sex drive...

[Suzywriter]

OOOOOOOH, Cinderella's shoes!!! 

And the Godmother's jacket!!!

I'm working on a jacket tonight, but in no way is it that kind of magical.

"I'm following the diet..."   So tell me about the mayonaise you just put on the counter.
