Do we need to hear how a bath works?

And how substandard the work of some of the heroic women who venture into his pigsty of an apartment for pathetic recompense is. I do not feel sanguine about this guy.

My aunt made a snowman in Houston yesterday.

Four eggs? That's all?

He needed to save room for the waffles, French toast, Eggs Benedict, corned beef hash, biscuits and gravy, avocado toast, and gallon of hot chocolate with whipped cream.

This guy is already shitting on his caregivers, he sounds like a delight

He's appalling. His poor mother. Hasn't he heard of Instacart? He lies in bed like some sort of maharajah and orders her through  the store? Dude

He could be the only person on earth whose life would be improved by being a meth addict. 

[Hellga]

No, George, your mother failed you.  She should have raised a functional adult, instead, she raised an eternal baby who is spending his life in an oversized crib, and she continues to feed him and enable him. 

[Red Bridey]

Mom, who cares if he gets mad? What's he gonna do to you? Chase you around the room? If he throws his phone at you, keep it and don't give it back to him. These enablers, man. It's sad!

Come on now

[katycat74]

After all these years, I never understand why family members worry about getting the bed bound perso "mad" by not getting the stuff they demand. I mean is it better to slowly kill them by complying?

The meth took his teeth it seems 

Makes it easier to shovel the food in.

[ams1001]

Did he say "well balanced"? That's not what they mean by a balanced meal. Also it's entirely shades of brown, except for the ketchup and mac and cheese.

[mk828]

No tv by his bed? What does he do all day?

[sainte-chapelle]

Yelling into the phone…no please and thank you…critical of the health care workers who wipe his ass and bathe him….no

Double portions?  He is delusional.  They are quadruple at least.

Songwriting. Okay. 

Until he got too fat to write songs.

[Auntie Anxiety]

How does someone like him, who eats lying down, NOT have acid reflux? And I’m afraid to ask about his toileting needs.

[sainte-chapelle]

Man I remember how polite the first two participants were….this guy is a rude pig

[Chicklet]

I think this trip to Houston will be back on track since he's pretty far away- lots of stops for food and the whining about the hotel room being so far from the car.

I think he meant it balances well on the McDonald's tray.

[aliya]

He's 32?!

Years ago, there was a show about overweight people in a hospital setting, I believe in Ohio. This wasn't the Brookhaven show. There was a young black guy with the same sort of relationship with his mother. I became FB friends with him, but didn't really keep up. Then one day I got a notice it was his birthday, and when I looked at the comments, learned he had passed away. He had medical help, but I guess he couldn't get his food under control and never really lost the weight.  I have a feeling Gary may go the same way.

His poor mom, just…stop. Either change or starve 

Right? It's the same old story. "If I don't get him what he wants, he gets angry". If it was me I'd provide some crunchy, refreshing celery, some cool, clear water, and maybe half a grapefruit. "Oh, you're mad ? Well come at me, bro. Oh, you can't. Enjoy your celery"

[lemoncake]

Oh lord please wish me some firemen to lift him out of his bed throne

Aren’t meth addicts skinny? 

We've had a few others that were meth addicts, Doug from Wichita Falls TX, and others, but still not skinny. 

Gary's from Oakland, CA.

He uses that trapeze above his bed. 

[babyhouseman]

He looks like floating head.

[lemoncake]

No video call!!!

[mk828]

Not going to lie, tonight's episode hits a bit close to home. My Brother in Law (Gary) has never lived on his own. Currently lives in Virginia with my other BIL and is lazy as shit! At least he works, but sits in bed all day! 

[MagicEyes]

He has a hobby that's not eating. That's good!

watches videos on laptop and plays on the phone...

Oh so Vanilla cupcakes are on the healthier side? Good to know.

Nevermind.. Gary wakes up at 12, watches from his phone and collects baseball cards. What a charmed life. 

[ams1001]

"I'm fine, how are you?"

"So how long have you been unable to get out of bed?"

Gotta love Dr. Now.

[HorrrGoodnight]

Maybe that's why he told his mom he only wanted four eggs because she wouldn't let him eat the whole nest.

White icing...no food coloring. Better for you.

[MagicEyes]

His mom needs to take away his phone so he can't order DoorDash. 

[Auntie Anxiety]

Gary uses up about 2 calories each day.

I dont even want to know how he pees and poops 8f he can't stand up

[sainte-chapelle]

Where does he get his money? Uber eats is not cheap

[OoogleEyes]

This guy isn't going anywhere. C'mon, show. Last week was an agoraphobic and this week is a lazy fat ass who won't get out of bed.

Snore.

[Auntie Anxiety]

This is never going to work out. Why am I even watching?

Just now, sainte-chapelle said:

Look in the mirror.

[Chicklet]

Will he ever make it to Houston? My bet is no.

 

[Pepper Mostly]

God, looking at him lying there flat with just his head showing, reminds of those pictures you see of people in iron lungs during polio. Shudder.

[mk828]

Since he is coming from Cali, should be an interesting trip for Gary. Assuming he makes it to Houston. 

[sainte-chapelle]

So we can all snark together

[lemoncake]

This guy has all the food delivery apps, plus mom. Im gonna be shocked if he actually follows the diet 

[Hellga]

It's not like he doesn't know he should eat less.  So is he really ready to change?  Or is he just saying and thinks Dr Now will magically make him thin???  The people who were successful all had a very specific goal, not just 'lose weight'... so I am not optimistic on George.  Let him prove me wrong.

[mmecorday]

On my Wednesdays off, I like to lie in bed for about a half hour or so and look at Reels on FB, but after a while that gets boring. I can't imagine doing that all day!

Yeah, collecting baseball cards is wicked strenuous.

I so look forward to my Wednesday nights with you fine people. I make sure I don't make plans on Wednesdays!

[CrazyInAlabama]

Video call with Dr. Now is interesting.  Dr. Now says Gary weighs 720 lbs. And he'll send PT to help him get out of bed, and says if he follows the diet should be under 600 lbs, and can't visit Dr. Now until he's out of that bed. 

Dr. Now said Gary's like a zombie, no activity, no interests except eating.

Bed pan?   

Level of delusion:  Dr. Now will teleport him to Texas, with the bed, when he couldn't even fly years ago when he was much thinner and mobile!  

[HorrrGoodnight]

I do have sympathy for people with addiction and 100% believe food can be an addiction but they sure make it hard when they have an attitude like this one.

[aliya]

I forget about food delivery. That darned Covid has done a number on people. I get most of my groceries delivered, but I don't get food delivered. 'Fast food' for me is a Stouffer's meal. How people spend money on UberEats and DoorDash for multiple meals a week, I don't know. It's not just big folks, it seems everyone does it, not realizing how much money they're wasting and how many restaurant-level calories they're ingesting all the time. 

I watch this one big girl on YT and she admitted to ordering $3000 of delivery a month at her spending height, and even now, orders once or twice a day. And yet, she's surprised she's over 500 lbs. Go figure.
