S10.E11: Ontreon's Journey LIVE CHAT

[dreadfulLeigh]

Oh, we’re back. I was spacing out there.

[Lillith]

My 14 year old came out of his room, looked at the screen and exclaimed: He looks like a triangle!!!

Missed out, where do they live?  At least he already has the van.

Plano, TX.  It's a suburb of Dallas.

Trying to eat better...

mmm...it smells like cinnamon in here....

Oh, there's the pizza and fries. Let us pray.

Cinnamon rolls, pizza, and fries? That’s me knocking on your door. I brought my chihuahua. We’re both house-trained. And Covid negative. 

[dreadfulLeigh]

I should listen to this track to help me fall asleep.

[Hellga]

Tried 'everything'?  How about 'eating less'???

[ams1001]

They're in Plano? Looks like roughly a four hour drive. How many food stops?

(He just said 7, but Google said 4, give or take. Unless I have the wrong city.)

“I’ve tried about everything” except not eating food by the trough.

[Splashes]

Good evening pounders! Im down 5kg in the past month and a half down to 96,5kg! Tonights eating habit is blackened grouper and some sweet potatoes and probably a piece of fruit.

They live in Plano, TX.    It's almost 4 hours, plus 15 or 20 drive thru stops.   Did he just say a 7 hour trip?

He said 7 hour.  Is that factoring in six food stops or was your ballpark off?

Whenever I think of Plano I think of Dr. Death

Kinda?

Not giving you a hard time...I've been keto for a few years.

Who are you following? (Not jonesing for grapes, but always looking for ideas.)

So...getting him in a church is more important than having him lose weight?

Headbanger's Kitchen.  I know people have been keto for years. I just decided I wasn't going to break out in hives just because I wanted a potato or some rice. I was a low fat/high carb vegan for years, eating about 400 gms of carbs a day. They promised me that veganism would 'cure' the diabetes, but they were wrong. It only made it worse. I had a hard time going back to meat, but I am much better off health-wise having done so. I have carnivore days, I watch my carbs, but if I want a sweet potato, I'm going to have it. 

[String Theory]

He's needs to buy bigger t-shirts.

Whoa, seven hours.....how many stop will there be?

[Chicklet]

That can't be it, sorry.

[QueBueno]

"It's about a seven hour drive to Houston."  No.  No it's not.

[DropTheSoap]

He tried everything. Worst afternoon of his life.

[Drogo]

“Tried about everything” except these 10 BBQ restaurants in Houston…

[ams1001]

He's got "a couple" restaurants he wants to go to in Houston. "We can start [the diet] a couple days after."

Musa: No, no... no.

[TazDevil]

Already game-planning his eating.  And not going to start the diet until a few days after.  But he'll do anything to lose weight, right?

I'm guessing 777.

[ams1001]

At least he drives...

[Chicklet]

I thought he was going to call 911 to tell them he was stuck in his car.

[charmed1]

Hello how y’all doing. Sorry I’m late. Sharon abandoned me at the gas station. At least I made it just in time for the trip to Houston. 

[Drogo]

These are some weird cuts, editing  team.  

[Hellga]

You don't have to start right after?  Not a good start to his weight loss journey!!! 

Is that a fancy hotel?  Fancier than the typical motels we see on this show.  And an overnight trip for a 4 hour drive is odd. But then it allows for a couple extra meals!

[Splashes]

No fast food stop? Weve been g*****! Also that car sounds really bad.

Dr Now’s new question should be “how big is your dinner plate and/or how many?”

[fonfereksglen]

Well, I know three couples who got married the day after they met.  One was married for 50+ years when death did them part, two are still going strong at 40+ and 45+ years.  These weren't arranged marriages, just some adventurous people.  One was friends of my Grandfather, two other couples are parents of my friends. 

It only took one date for us to move in together.  We did wait to marry until we could afford wedding rings.  Married 42 years later this month.  Life is interesting.

“I don’t know why I’m so big!”

…could it be the vats of ice cream and gallons on soda?? Hmm? Maybe?

I'm betting he'll trot out "carbs" and "emotional eater" and "stress" for Dr. Now. Not, "I stuff my maw like a famishing sasquatch". Just a wild guess.

Well, that's too extreme. I have a feeling we're going to get a lot of "I think Dr. Now's diet is too extreme" or "I know best what my body needs" this ep. 

[Boston]

They really should put a WARNING ON THIS SHOW:  DO NOT EAT while you're watching the fat-ass eating more than you did.  I was just in the bathroom.. just saying.  OMG.  The food makes me sick.

[Hellga]

Talking about scheduling a surgery day when you are planning to sabotage your diet before you even hear it?  Geez!

[poeticlicensed]

Oh man. dr Now is gonna give a wake up call

Totally makes sense. I'll check out Headbanger's. I've heard of it.

I was a vegan, then vegetarian, then pescatarian, before back to omnivore. Keto has helped my health/weight so I stick with it. Have gotten into more baking lately.

I hope he isn't as boring as the last couple, but so far, expectations are low.

[Kid]

He is ALREADY planning to delay starting!!

Thats's the sound of it's supension weeping.

Wow she dressed up for the occasion.

[7EasyPayments]

One million pounds, give or take a few ounces.

They don't know what to expect? They've never watched the show?

Or the next Covid variant.

I was thinking his name sounds like a type of Pokémon. My 8-year old has a bunch of Pokémon plushes and he makes me try to guess their names. I suck at it and he laughs and laughs. 

[Hellga]

I am going to guess 682 and only because he doesn't look tall!

Agreed, maybe fast food stops were too ugly to watch.

I'm guessing 756 lbs..

[TazDevil]

Musa dressed up and it looks like MegaTron has a new t-shirt.

same ratty slippers though...

[mmecorday]

I like that Musa dressed up for the appointment.
