S06.E08: Robert's Story LIVE CHAT

[poeticlicensed]

Italian momma feeding her baby boy. 

[hoosiermom]

HeySteff. glad to have you join the mayhem.

[zoemom]

Ah, the ubiquitous minivan.  

Scared this trip could be too hard for him.  Score another one.

My "butt's hurting".  Even better than "my leg!"

[Maggienolia]

This has disaster written all over it.

[chickenella]

Oh my, another imobile person. 

The timeline confuses me: he's 41. He fell & spent his 40th birthday inn hospital,  then released to a nursing home for the next 4 years? He must have meant months.

Forked River, NJ. It’s a very nice community along the JERSEY shore, not a trailer trash community like so many of the others.

I have a friend who used to live in that area. I'm about 45 minutes away. I can't imagine driving to Houston from here and I can fit comfortably in an actual seat.

Why does he need to remove his shirt in the car..?

[Katydid]

I saw the Uhaul parked outside and thought he was going to ride in it. But he's being stuffed into a minivan. Classic.

[Concerned]

He’s also tall so I’m guessing 900 pounds.

[hoosiermom]

How long a drive is that?

[e.gregious]

Why didn't the male in the room help the fiance to get him out of the chair?

[poeticlicensed]

Look at the width of that wheelchair . I had no idea they made them that big.

The U-Haul would be a tight squeeze.

[LordOfLotion]

Chip and Sandy are saints.

[Snarkastikate]

My sisters and I call them "man babies".  

[Maggienolia]

Annnnnd in a nod to the big, fat, fabulous Whitney Way Thore, the shirt comes off. 

[ThisGirlAsh]

I'm sure it must be uncomfortable with all that weight, but the thing I would find most difficult is ridding backwards all that time!

It's got to be 3 days minimum

[Kid]

Do I want to see him take a dump???!!

I think I saw an episode description someplace that said 840-something, but don't hold me to it.

[zoemom]

Thought he was riding in the U Haul at first.  No more stopping to eat.  Now its time to go "pee pee"  Don't want to see this.  

My eyes will need some eye bleach!

[Carrie]

Come on!  He lives in New Jersey - a major metropolitan area with world class hospitals within 100 miles and he's driving to Houston?!  I'm sure he can get weight loss surgery in NYC!

[ChickenLatte99]

Now I know why I'm single. I am not as dedicated as these spouses are.

[LookABird]

Someone please ping me and tell me when the bathroom break is over.  I cannot watch.

[sainte-chapelle]

Strap n the feed bag! It blows my mind how FAST these people eat, that is part of the problem.

[peaceknit]

oh my god, watching him shit in the van is disgusting!!!

[JudgeyMcJudgyPants]

Yeah, mr. Judgey turned it back just in time for pee break and blurrred junk shot.

[chickenella]

I feel bad for all the work the fiancee has to do. 

[ChickenLatte99]

She seems to have a lot of supprssed anger, very passive aggrssive.

[poeticlicensed]

Gf said he has a hard time sitting in the car. Bitch please, he is laying 

 Pee pads in the car. So gross. 

[Concerned]

1600 miles.

[ThisGirlAsh]

Gee that was some yellow pee, looked like it was glowing

[Threnners]

His urine was orange.   GAH.

[aliya]

Did that sign say Harrisburg? They went from Jersey to PA in order to get to Houston?

[peaceknit]

He looks like his fat is melting around him.

[ams1001]

25 hours driving according to google maps.

[zoemom]

The room may be handicapped, but the bed would need to be reinforced.  Remember when other person traveled to Houston and the bed broke..

I'm skeptical we'd even be able to see his junk.  It's got to be buried under the fat, right?

I thought he said 30th Birthday but perhaps I misheard?

This reminds me of an episode of Family Guy when Peter loses all of his bones.

She is acting like and her voice sounds like Erica's sister who had no f*cks left to give. Why is a king bed an issue? Aside that he's the only one who will fit in it.

Or in Philadelphia.

I cannot believe they're undertaking this long of a car journey with a seriously debilitated man like him who has needs that far exceed any sort of "handicapped" room any hotel could provide. 

[QuinnInND]

Scrape the walls!!

Yes, I noticed that. She reminds me of me on occasion, I'm sorry to say.

[ThisGirlAsh]

If he does lose the weight, fiance ain't staying.  She might be pulling a Rena 2.0 and holding his pee urinal, but the love is all gone.

Yes.   It sems she has used him to avoid building a life for herself. Playing the martyr.  Too bad.

[steff13]

I'd make him sleep in the van.

[calpurnia99]

So much work to get him into a hotel. And he did this to himself that bed is too small

They need to get him a Foley catheter and a urine bag.  That's so disgusting.  Girlfriend should just leave him in the hotel room.   She doesn't want to sleep wiith him, what a surprise.  I really don't like this guy either.

[Snarkastikate]

How can that poor woman push around 800+?  Who is the guy helping?  How is the hotel bed gonna hold him?  How is hotel toilet gonna hold him?  He's a real bratty man baby, isn't he
