S05.E14: Steven and Justin's Story Part 2 LIVE CHAT

[DrNowsWeightScale]

Dr. Paradise says Steven has accomplices, and that they need to work on saying "No." I think this is the doctor's round about way of telling the father the father is codependent and needs to learn about BOUNDARIES. And being assertive.

[Spooneroonie]

And, I KNEW he'd call the medics from the car. I wonder if they can start charging him for every call he makes. 

[EE2000]

Ha, I knew he was going to call for an ambulance.   What a POS.    

[DC Gal in VA]

Oh great, here come more firefighters for this fucker!

[DrNowsWeightScale]

So, he's called the Houston FD again from the Dad's van in Dr Paradise's parking lot?? Good grief. 

[jacksgirl]

Charades!!!!!

[Thriftykins]

A fucking 9 on the pain scale.  He fell what, 2 feet?

[jnagle4]

A neck brace?! ARE YOU KIDDING ME. 

[DrNowsWeightScale]

Oh, maybe progress - the dad threatened to go back to RI and leave him homeless, and he backed down after that.

[Armchair Critic]

Tell how you enable him dad. Dr. sees through this bullshit. They should have taken his phone. I know this is terrible but I hope everybody abandons his ass.

[fliptopbox]

Oh boy, here comes the waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahmbulance.

[gardendiva]

Steven has zero interest in making ANY changes. Just leave him out on the curb, he is worthless.

[jnagle4]

Remember James> Remember how lovely he was?

[notyrmomma]

maybe the drinking game should include the phrase "he's gonna die" LOL

He slipped off gently.  I don't consider that a fall. 

[poeticlicensed]

Didn't he say earlier that if he says his pain is a 9 they give him drugs. He just said his pain was a 9. The only time I have ever said I was a 9 was when I fell and shattered my wrist. Falling on your fat ass is a 2 or 3 at best. He's such a fucking liar. 

[okerry]

OK, I'm impressed with Dr. Paradise. He comes across as tough as a ten-year-old girl, but he's got more spine than anybody else. Good for him. Just hope Steven doesn't eat him.

[Thriftykins]

Good on Steven Sr. for sticking to his guns for once.  But I don't think it's gonna happen much more.

[notyrmomma]

I still think James was much worse off then steven.  I really expect James to die of his obesity.  Steven is going to OD

My father, God rest his soul, had bone cancer.  The highest he ever went on his own personal pain scale was "7, maybe 8."  I am sure it was much higher, but that's the way Dad was.  And the way Steven isn't. 

[OSM Mom]

And I laughed my ass off when he slipped off the cart. That was awesomely funny.

Didn't he say on Dr. Phil he was bisexual?  I'll bet he is also addicted to porn on that ipad.

Hell, I didn't even rate my kidney stone a nine!

[Anchorabu]

Mom: "I wonder what they're gonna do with that jerk? He's disgusting and mental, and puts on when he shouldn't. His dad is old and doesn't need this. I want to go through the screen and hug his poor father."

[leighroda]

I would like to show him what true 9/10 pain feels

[DC Gal in VA]

Oh shit, maybe Dr. Paradise had a breakthrough with Steven's dad! He just laid a solid smackdown on Steven and his drug seeking to the firefighters. Loved how he even reenacted shooting up drugs to them! And of course, when faced with consequences, big bad Steven crumbles.

[jnagle4]

This is like in wrestling when the heel comes out with a neckbrace to get out of a big match. Except Stephen isn't clever or witty

[Miracle Maxie]

I hope we get a follow-up episode next year... on the cat. 

[Nancypants]

The only hope for this turd is a Really Talented Exorcist

[poeticlicensed]

I'm thinking munchausens in addition to food and drug addiction

When my husband went to the ER with a kidney stone, they wouldn't give him any pain meds until they verified it with a CT scan

None! He loves the attention.  Look - he said he was a happy person!  Christ what low standards of fulfillment - pretty much subsisting at the bottom tier of Maslow's hierarchy.

I worked corporate desktop support for many years.  I was "the I.T. guy" you would call if you had computer troubles and needed assistance at your desk.  There were many times that I would start off sitting in the user's chair and using his computer to work on the issue.  But then I would have to get down to the floor to plug in a cable or something like that.  The way I got down to the floor was a lot like the way Steven fell off the golf cart.  I just sort of slid forward because it was easier to get to the ground that way than to stand up and get back down.  It spooked some people who thought I had fallen and would instinctively ask "are you okay?"  It happened especially a lot when I worked in that hospital.

[fliptopbox]

Even after major surgery I wouldn't say my pain was a 9. Though at the time I'd had an epidural and a pain pump.. so without those it probably would have been. But sheesh. A 9 from slipping off a golf cart that was going maybe 3mph? Come the fuck on. With all that padding that's his giant ass there's no way he was hurt enough to require medical attention.

[leighroda]

Justin's on the phone asking for dad to come back because god forbid he need something and you can literally see Steven calculating his next move to keep his dad there.

[Brooklynista]

Steven Sr. has one son hanging from each nut. Neither one of them are capable of independent living. This is some shameful shit.

Oh great. Someone take the cat away, please. 

I know! I've been more upset about the cat here than I was about MBFFL ep where Twit "rode" a horse. Someone call animal control!! How in the HELL did he get a cat?? That poor cat. I'm about ready to drive to Houston and rescue the poor thing. 

[PinkyMcPinkerson]

OMG! Long distance pizza-ordering. Whyyyyyy could he not just change his number, hand it out only to the doctors and let professionals wrangle that clowncar wreck of a kid??

[CouchTater]

I hope the dad doesn't die.  Steven is going to send him to an early grave.

[Threnners]

I am now understanding why the mom drank and ran like the wind.

[Drmint]

Why, oh why am I watching this POS

Maybe the cat will be rehomed, but he'll be so traumatized from the experience of living with Steven that he'll meet Jackson Galaxy on My Cat From Hell.

[jnagle4]

A 33 YEAR OLD MAN EATING COCOA PUFFS IN BED?! MOTHERFUCKER.

[gardendiva]

You know who is going to die in short order? His dad from the stress of keeping both of his sons happy.

[fliptopbox]

So is anyone actually participating in the drinking game? If so, how drunk are you by now?

[Haenim]

Was he spraying his nether regions with cologne?

[Spooneroonie]

Holy crap, only 10 months in. Jeeze.

[UMAngela]

This is episode is exhausting.

[sickwithsin]

Liter bottles of soda by his bed ... and he's wondering if he's made any progress. *facepalm*

[leighroda]

Steven sips Dr Pepper, I glance at the bottle on my nightstand and throw it away, I have been addicted to Dr Pepper almost all of my life, and this is what it took to cure it.
