And he's still drinking.

It's not something I bring up a lot in GBS but I do talk about it occasionally in E/N.

He's not a drooling vegetable yet so my mother and I haven't given up on him but most of the rest of my family members have.


My friend has a coworker like that who literally got brain damage from seizures due to binge drinking and bulimia, can function well enough in daily life but is permanently disabled and has virtually no short term memory. They were able to stop drinking after that fortunately.

If you are going to be an alcoholic please eat, people!!!

I'm sorry to hear that.
I've suffered withdrawl seizures myself (not helped by having actual epilepsy) and hope the best for you and your family.

I know that I've shouted some slack at you in the past but these are hard things to deal with. That's as far as I'll go. I hope the best to each individual.

One thing I noticed growing up in a bar and liquor store was the alcoholics who don't eat right are the ones who die first. Yet at the same time I've noticed functional alcoholics who were married and had jobs live well into their 60's.

anyway as soon as this was announced I figured something was up and yeah the fact that they are specifically removing episodes where he gets too touchy-feely means there's like a 95% chance something awful about him is gonna break soon. I mean some rumors were definitely out there & I remember hearing some female cast members were abruptly leaving for mysterious reasons. idk poo poo sucks hope this is all related to some punishment due to Joe being TONIGHTS BIG LOSER

I'm semi serious but whats the appeal of going up to someone just trying to get through their day getting pulled aside by some freakish lump flesh that looks like a conjoined fetus all grown up asking them if they'd like to see him demonstrate the funnel designed to funnel chicken tendies straight into his urethra while some equally malformed homunculi cackle like lobotomized hyenas?

I saw a skit where one of the 4 cackling reaxbros was leading an art class for kids and he was dared to paint big red X's on the kids' paintings. He did it while the other wacky chucklers feigned hysterics. Complete trash regardless of whether the kids are actors or not. It's just a poo poo show and you can put on the internet that I'm mad.

Sal is the easiest to punish because he's a big bag of anxiety, and that made the punishment all the greater.

One of the funniest punishments was Joe having to go through a gymnastics gym, cut in front of people using the course and say, "I can do it better" and then fall on his rear end was a pretty close second, imho.

nah chill
This show was ok, sometimes funny, but I really dislike prank humor. Punching up is gold but Punching down is revolting. My ex gf and her friends all loved this show. The guys are likable but they do ham it up and force laughter for TV, which is fine but grating.

I remember when I felt like the show got played out. Murr(?) was the loser and had to be suspended from a crane in Union Square(?). The show was getting big and uneven and unwieldy.

Fun fact one of the guys has a cameo in the opening scene of Dogma at the airport.

Anyway, I gotta go do a rewipe.

That and the one where his phone kept ringing during the book reading (Who's phone is ringing? Mine! Mine!) and he wasn't allowed to turn it off, and people were getting more and more annoyed with him, and then they said, "ok ok, we're not going to dial your phone anymore" and then made him get up and do a reading in front of the same crowd that's pissed at him for the ringing phone.

Sal is truly so easy to absolutely mortify. Of the four, he's the biggest manbaby.

But I think that the worst one was when they made Q paint big red X's over the kids paintings. He looked like he was going to cry.

Some of the gags were over the top or designed to annoy people and not really funny, but some were low key enough to he hilarious and didn't seem to really annoy people so much as make them do a double take.

I really hated, HATED the whole behind the scenes thing they added about halfway through the run. They cut out like a whole segment just to have that one obnoxious unfunny dork be all "look at where we put the cameras! Isn't it crazy? Hey everyone! I'm friends with these guys! Isn't that funny?".

Probably the funniest thing on the show might have been the simplest. And it wasn't even really part of the show proper. It was when Q accidentally posted his cell phone number on twitter and had to call to have it changed, but he called the phone company while he was in a room with the other three guys, who would immediately post his new phone numbers. He had to call to have his number changed like three or four times in the span of like 40 minutes because people were blowing up his phone. I don't know why, but to me that was the funniest drat thing.

Anyway. I kinda figured that the show had about run it's course and then the pandemic hit and, well, I imagine it's hard to do a hidden camera show in public when in the middle of a viral outbreak. They were funny, but they had to keep one upping themselves and I think eventually it crossed the line from "try to make the other guys laugh, or do something embarrassing" to "see how much you can annoy people without getting your friend lynched".

Gatto must have done some poo poo to cause his personal and professional life to simultaneously implode. Which is too bad, I liked that he was always plugging animal rescues and stuff. I'm sure it will come out eventually that he was plugging an intern or something too.
