thank you thanks it's a podcast um we gotta start locking that door that
happens way too often
yeah i also don't understand the no knock i mean what if we were therapists
what if there was like a 400 pound man in here he's like i was molested again
the guy like comes
in he's like i'm terrified people will find out that i was molested oh no yeah
and it's a fucking
amazon another 400 pounds yeah i watched probably three hours of my 600 pound
life how's it how's it
these days um well i don't know yesterday it was like all the good stories and
those are the only
ones i watch i don't know why like half the show now is and maybe it's always
been this way i got
admittedly i'm not a huge i'm not a 600 pound let's just say i'm not the
biggest fan of my
600 pound life but i feel like more often than not it's like you know they'd
like they're like
it's first of all someone living in abject poverty they're like i gotta do
something i gotta change
my life because i don't want to die and then uh they have to get in a van they
put them in like
the back of a car and then they have to drive 18 hours to houston to see that
persian guy the persian
lap and he's yeah and he's like you're too much fat bitch to live and if you
want to be not fat bitch
you have to you know make change and you have to we need to see you lose maybe
200 maybe 500 pounds
before we decide you know and then you know change your life so you're saying
the good episodes like
where they get it together well yeah and then and but they it always is they
drive to the doctor
just to get weighed like the initial consultation so they have to like do this
organ trail
and um and then they always show they film the car from behind another thing
they do on that show when
they do like how fat the car when they do the initial like confessionals they
have the people sit on
like a couch i guess and talk about like how eating has destroyed their life
and then they shoot them
from like down here so they make them look as like big as possible and i tell
you on a 65 inch
screen it's like this is just this massive person but they have to go for the
initial consultation
and they get there and then they just weigh them and he tells them they need to
lose a bunch of weight
and then they have to get back in the car drive back to fucking ohio yeah and
then like you know
try to manage the diet on themselves i i think the show the show pays each
person like fifteen hundred
dollars and they tape them for a year and uh and then they cover like the
surgery itself and then
the follow-up visits afterwards but i mean like really they should be covering
that show is like
massively popular it's been around for a long time i'm sure they have a massive
production budget they
should be paying for like a nutritionist because if you just tell like somebody
that has a crippling
food addiction you need to eat 1200 calories a day which is the diet they put
them on it's insane
yeah it's like you know it's so hard and they have to do it for a while too
because they have a lot of
like weight to lose it should just be they get you know they get a nutritionist
also that helps them
like you know and maybe they do maybe you just don't see that part but anyway
the point is
is watching the show like it feels like the majority of the time they go back
they get back in the
fucking car go see the doctor again and he's like you only lost 35 pounds you're
still a fat bitch so
we cannot do surgery and then they just send he sends them home yeah and then
it's like another
year of them doing a diet without like much guidance other than like it seems
like they just give them
a number like calorie wise oh yeah and in the meantime they're like literally
in the stanford prison
experiment with cameras all over cameras all over them but also too it's like
they're so big that
unless you have some kind of industrial scale yeah i don't they they don't know
they're like well
we're gonna see how much weight i lost and they only get to check like once a
year well what about
like at a county fair like when they like weigh the biggest pumpkin they guess
they guess for those
yeah they guess that's how you win the pumpkin is by guessing the closest you
know don't they have
like a livestock yeah but they just they judge that's pig judging i don't know
if they have really
have a way of weighing you know the pigs they just say that's the biggest that's
the biggest pig to me
it looks like yeah first prize you think there's like a mean gay guy that's
like the best pig judge
maybe but it's like look at this bitch over here probably it's like best like
you've been eating
yeah yeah yeah tyra banks's pig contest top pig but uh um yeah last night there
was a lot of uh
success stories and those are always fun they got they got the surgery they did
all right i watched
that show what do you do with the skin though it's awful they cut it off they
cut it off yeah
now i watch that show and often it's like uh sometimes i'll feel like oh i wish
i was 600 pounds
just so i could lose the weight so i could feel like i could like you had a new
lease on life yeah
just like i accomplished something because there i mean a little bit yeah
honestly i find myself
jealous of the 600 pound life that's nice though yeah well they have such like
a tangible problem
right in front of you yeah when it's like something that's not you can't really
put your finger on
yeah yeah yeah and it can be fixed by um not doing something you know um by
depriving yourself of
something you know there's like uh uh uh you know well it's like quitting
smoking maybe but no one
celebrates that yeah right no one's gonna be like i'm so proud you also can't
see it like no you
wouldn't see somebody in a year and they're like oh my god you're not vaping
yeah yeah there's a guy
michael on the episode last night and it was very funny because he he because
of his size he was
like you know very ashamed about like uh going out of the house you know he
wouldn't like take his
sons they wouldn't go out of the house but they have this scene where he goes
to meet the doctor
for the first time and they had already lived in houston he goes to meet the
doctor and you know
he's like explaining that he doesn't really like going out of the house because
he's ashamed and then
the wife is like uh you know they're getting ready to go she's like you got
your hat and he's
like yep and then he puts on he's wearing like a bowler hat with autism puzzle
pieces around like
where's where's the dumbest hat i've ever seen
but that guy did it it's like he's actually on instagram you can look him up it's
it's unreal
he's jacked or he's just skinny yeah he's like lost all the way i mean he looks
he's lost he lost like
700 is there i haven't i've never watched that show is there like a common pathology
do they have
like feeders in their lives or they went through a trauma yeah often it
requires i think the other
person to be enabling them i mean i feel like yeah like older ones i watched
there was always like
definitely like there was one where this guy's sneaking taco bell into the
hospital for his like
his wife and the doctor comes in he's like what the fuck are you doing
he's so calm about it yeah yeah you can't even that guy is wild yeah it's so
funny that's like
imagine being a production company you're like we want to do a show about lap
band surgery and people
changing their lives let's find the least charismatic man in the entire fucking
world
to be the doctor he's the doctor for everyone on the show yeah yeah they always
go to him so he's the
one that's making all the money he also too i used to feel like he was in a
hospital and now he's in a
strip mall somewhere really yeah oh so it's like a private practice or whatever
yeah yeah yeah i mean
maybe he was at he was at some big hospital and like the the big old boy but
the bob's big boy center
yeah you know in hearsten yeah hearsten international hospital i think i saw
only one but i think it was
a woman who lost a child and then the next child it was his mom who was like
just enabling it yeah
she was like hamburgers are good for you yeah often to eat often they have like
a history of like sexual
abuse or something really um yeah and then you know i mean obviously further
isolation from being so
big and being in their house for being in their house and then if you find
comfort in food i mean
it's like and it's like that's the worst addiction to have is food because it's
the you need to develop
moderation right there's no other addiction like that yeah you can't have like
just a little crack
right exactly yeah it's like full abstinence yeah you just have to smoke less
crack yeah yeah yeah yeah
yeah no that sucks man but i was dying when you put that hat on you got your
hat yep
is it okay also what percentage of them have normal sized partners and and what
percentage of them have
also fattest shit partners yeah i don't know i don't know like a percentage
wise is it more
common that they have a normal sized one or more common that they have like a
fucking that's the
other thing too is they all seem to like to have relatively stable home yeah
they have i mean it's
also too it's like shot a certain way yeah yeah you know they added it to how
do they pay for their
like their houses and their food and stuff what do you mean it just seems like
it's like a lot of
investment they usually have jobs you know work from home and stuff yeah the
funniest one was the
the guy with the red hair whose dad was like he loved his dad him and his dad
loved each other they lived
together but he was uh he just plays xbox live all day long plays xbox live all
day long and um
let me see if i can find a picture of him sitting in that bed uh uh 600 it was
like one of those bedrooms
that you see on reddit where it's just a mattress and a tv and a console oh

this is stressing me out yeah it's stressing me out well it's also i don't
understand what his legs are
doing he's he's he looks like fat bastard mm-hmm
