The Most Infamous Episode Of Wife Swap Ever 

I’ll take fat and lazy so long as my parents love me.

@@alexc9434real omg

Also, the mother walks in the door and the 6 year old girl greets her.. first thing mom says is "look how big you've gotten!" or similar... Ita been 2 weeks! That had to be a jab at knowing they had junk food.. Man, I feel so sorry for those kids. I feel bad for the other as well, but not quite as bad. But he definitely seems to need some more discipline and to learn about moderation with junk food, etc. But those other poor kids looked so sad in every shot, almost. Sure, could be editing, but idk.

@@alexc9434 honestly showing children structure and discipline is showing love they want their kids to be responsible. The fat and lazy people are neglecting their children’s health, future goals, and abilities to have meaningful relationships. Just look at how that kid showed no respect towards the new mother from the moment she walked in and his dad laughed. You think that kid is ever going to listen to a manager that asks him to do something he doesn’t like? Do you think that kids will ever think twice about taking care if his body? Do you think that kid will ever have the self discipline to make himself do something challenging? No. So who is the real villain and neglectful parent?

@@michaelaguilera3191neither are bad parents. they just have different ways of life. the “fat” family wasn’t even that fat. sure, they’re overweight and unhealthy, but it’s not so bad to the point where they can’t walk up a flight of stairs or they’ll die super early in their life. if anything, the kids in sarge’s family looked more unhealthy from how skinny they were

It's probably bc she wasn't like, entertaining enough for the show, or maybe the parents stipulated that they could show her but not air out her voice for the whole world

Maybe she couldve been too shy to talk on camera?

@@imperialguardsman5726 I mean, how can you compare to the king after all?

I mean the son is called a king and gets to decide everything and calls the new wife “a little girl” continuously. The Hollands defo have a large misogyny vibe

He learned calling a grown woman "smart little girl" from somewhere. I doubt she's treated the same way in that house as Curtis.

39:55 Timestap for those who need it

Bruh that kid looks like he wants to be ‘in heaven’ right now How could you look at your own kid so obviously hating their life and disregard that just to make yourself feel good

You can’t spell 😂

@@itsruckaswife7036 no one cares, this isn't english class XD

@@itsruckaswife7036you don’t have a life😂

It surprised me and made me so happy, how well he articulated his feelings

I was so worried about that bc he looks EXACTLY like my eldest brother did at that age, and my brother had those types of issues like you describe. King of the house had me so concerned, but holy shit these parents love and respect him so much.

Idk how you where raised but ive never seen a child hit an adult

​@@blink182izawsmget off your high horse Sarge

​@@blink182izawsm Wow you've managed to see every child in existence damn that's impressive 💀

Ikr hes a good dad I just don’t think he truly understands the effect the junk foods are heaving on his kids health

Yeah I think he just wants his kids to be happy and love him the same way he loves them.

@@tsmidnightrain230 hes by definition a bad parent, he has no rules for his children and that is just as bad, if not worse than too many rules

@@Rootiga not saying it isn’t bad parenting, but is definitely NOT worse the the too many rules family. Have you ever firsthand experienced an extremely abusive family?

​@@RootigaAt least they're loved. What I would give for that.

Bingo.

It’s so odd Curtis isn’t as bratty as I thought he’d be though, he doesn’t scream or cry for attention or to get his way. I don’t think not teaching your kid healthy eating and not teaching them what “no” means is good parenting, but sarge isn’t feeding his kids well either. This might just be an over leap in logic, but I haven’t seen much iron and healthy fats in their meals.

I agree with above comments but also remember this is “reality tv” aka they edit it to make it look worse then it is

Almost like they're scripted since its TV 😮 lol

A dysfunctional family doesn’t have a wife. These are great families

It's crazy too because they are self-employed, and spend almost all of their time living life. This family has the dream.

​@@grandgibbon2071 Exactly! They have everything except good health. What more could a family want? (I'm not being snarky, money is bomb, but being together and happy is THE bomb 💣💣💣)

@@AlextheENTP I couldn't agree more. There's simply no point to being lavishly rich if you become a completely soulless person due to pursuing it.

@@cavemon111 The scene that broke my heart was when she had them look at an upmarket house. When she said she would love coming home because everything is state of the art, and he said that he looks forward to coming home to get on the floor and play with his kids, it really played up the contrast between their priorities. 😕

For real. There are plenty of recipes that involve chicken and/or bacon that can be considered relatively healthy depending on preparation. Could have unlocked a whole new world for him.

Gonna be so great when those kids are dumped with massive debts and their father spends all his money and they have to support him. The kids will approach life with a relaxed attitude and leave money on the table just like dad did. It will all be a family of wage slaves for the rest of their lives and die with nothing to their names because they never learned discipline.

You are reading my thoughts. I fully agree with you

I disagree with "abusive" cold yes, abusive, no.

I would consider them abusive, depriving your children the ability to read at that age is definitely abusive. Abuse comes in many forms.

@@lukesavage there is zero evidence they have "deprived" their child the ability to read at 6 years old. She may have a learning disability etc or any other numerous factors that lead to her at 6 not being able to read fully. Such a stupid position to hold that the parent is "abusive" for their child being behind in reading.

They are a little dorky but ease off the throttle with the abuse allegations

Lmfaoooo I missed that

😄😄😄

it’s okay, we know this is your other account. was a good one tho

i was gonna comment this too 😭 a golden comment

Hilarious! 😂😂😂

It seems like a very useful hobby and fun!

Meh, I sometimes go to a food drive due to financial struggle, and complex carbs/fibrous foods are horrifically rare there. Those simple carb foods won't actually feed a family because they brek down so quick and leave people feeling hungrier and hungrier. Having grown up in bankruptcy, I can say I'd rather have not been eating whole boxes of Lucky Charms just to feel sated, lol, it makes your health ten times worse while not actually giving you anything of value. Last thing poor people need is diabetes, NAFLD, higher risk for mood disorders, etc.

@@chronotiger Any food > No food

​@@chronotiger How in the world is no food better than something not that healthy, our bodies need at least something to work with so they function or it just withers away

​@@chronotiger People miss the point when it comes to the poor. There are better ways to help feed people in need than "the poor should be grateful that this trash exists, what else could they possibly eat otherwise?" 😕

It was off to me how skinny Sarge was, all that talk he does about being your best version of yourself you would think he was buff as shit, but then again his daughter couldn’t even read yet they’re so disciplined and hard on them

He got a medical discharge after basic

​@gelo888 there's more than one type of fitness. Athletes have a lot of variety in how they look. And the daughter might have a learning disability or even just a late birthday that means that she started school later than everybody else

​@@msjkramey sarge alt account detected

@@birdideasisallyouhave8261 because I think it's shitty to body shame or to make fun of a kid learning to read?

while i dont like that he insulted Ginger, you saying he looks like RuPaul isnt an insult. I mean seriously?

@@MsDudette21well she said he looks like a gay man and too “serge” that would’ve been an insult

OMFG I was thinking it too! I saw him shaving his eyebrows and was like "mm yes queen, get those fake brows drawn on HIGH" 💀

​@@MsDudette21 It's... It's a joke

I was thinking the exact same thing

Yeah she definitely wanted to read but she was 6 she was certainly on par with other kids her age in reading

I doubt it, my brother was behind in reading and he was still able to read kids books at 6@@OisLeo

That's what i was thinking, she is well aware this is not normal and rly wants help

Is it not normal to not be able to read until 6? that's when you start school. Like I'm sure kids pick up some words before then but not full reading. The kid's probably really jealous that her brother has something to do. Tho if her parents really strived to help her succeed she'd probably know by then.

Google is telling me essentially "kids learn to read when they're ready to learn to read" but the average is 6 to 7. I think my brother learned a little later because he didn't like to read, but I learned earlier because we were homeschooled and I picked up on everything my mom was doing to engage him...and now he reads way more books then I do in a variety of genres. 😂

I wonder if they did, this show aired 14, almost 15 years ago. And I wonder if the parents are still alive and healthy.

And learning disability, what blew my mind was the son Curtis was the same age as the daughter , the daughter straight up spoke like a todler

Conversely, you can let your kid eat and do anything they want and they will need you for the rest of their lives because they are dependent on you because they are emotionally and physically incapable of making healthy choices in life.

@@seansweeney3365fr, have no idea why everyone is piling on the Brown family when the other’s children will be just as bad if not worse.

Curtis took over and scaled the landscaping business, now he runs Lamborghini’s in demolition derby’s, Probably idk.

Agreed. Honestly, I wonder if the Dad grew up in a strict household and that’s why he’s so hesitant to discipline.

ABC or whoever, did that family, super dirty. I dont know what dude does, but they clearly have money.

Curtis is my spirit animal.

@@JimBob-jr5up He sells pine needles for landscaping, and even said that he only works as much as he needs.

Wholesome and reprehensibly irresponsible

I cannot stand this lady so far bruh. "I'm about to bring the pain" like bruh have an ounce of joy and compassion

The 6 year old? Yeah, 6 year olds are still learning to read. That's normal

​@@msjkramey Nah most kids (who are on par with learning standards for their age) are starting to read and spell in kindergarten (5 years old)

she doesn't think that food has value. why would she donate it?

@@LeeM22 there are 6 year olds in kindergarten, too, you know

Which is exactly why that threatening gesture of him punching his hand caught me so off guard lmfao. Kid really didn't wanna eat those veggies!

Mature? Polite? In what world? The kid has no respect for his parents or any other adult.

just a testament to parenting. Mom and dad prioritize their kids happiness, but at the same time, seemingly have taught their children that throwing a fit isn’t how it works. It’s.. nice

@@country_gnomes8068that compared to giving into chicken nuggets daily makes me wonder if he has some form of neurodivergence. Because chicken nuggets are often a safe food for people with texture difficulties.

@@silverfire1248 My thoughts exactly

she's 6. easily half the kids can't read properly at 6

Get a life

​@@jurgnobs1308way more than half of children can't read properly at 6. They are in the beginning stages of reading. I am sure that the girl can read on par with other six year olds, but her parents probably belittle her pretty harshly when she makes a mistake and she is just parroting what they say.

@@arnold8746 quite a few start learning in kindergarten, so it ends up being somewhere around half. either way, the point is that it's weird to avt as if a 6 year old not being literate is somehow shocking. clearly you agree with that sentiment.

@@jurgnobs1308 yeah, I agree. They start learning around that age, they don't have a real good grasp on it yet.

Sarge's kids 100% don't talk to him anymore

Agree… and both families are so closed minded and rude about other types of lifestyles 😂

I mean the show is about choosing family on opposite ends of spectrums and putting them together but I find that one common theme is one family tends to be abusive or at least neglectful in some way while the other feels misguided. Joy’s family is neglectful, it does truly have forms of abuse and overall for the kids is really sad to watch them talk about how unhappy they are. The family cares so much about fitness and money that you really can see the ways it’s damaging the kids through potential avenues of EDs and lack of mindful interactions. I don’t think Joy’s family would have to give up everything they love to become better (i.e. get them and parents into sports for healthy movement but still spending time together) but they inherently feel more like parents that felt obligated to have kids rather than wanted them. The Hollands on the other hand really do just have a lot of misguided actions, but overall many aren’t as bad just as the truth money isn’t everything. While the parents need to understand structure and care more about health regarding food (although a 7-8 year old only wanting to eat chicken nuggets isn’t as outlandish as people make it seem imo) Joy’s methods seem deeply unhelpful as it’s again rooted in money and often back to ED culture. There would be far more healthy ways to get the Hollands back on track while still letting them enjoy a lot of what they do; such as being more mindful of adding healthy option into meals, structuring things like bedtimes, and introducing more ways to exercise while playing. I just think for all the faults the Holland’s have it’s less hard to feel bad or get angry in a degree than I feel to Joy which results in a disconnect in plot lines.

@@Unhappytimeaper agree, and actually the Hollands do have some, especially for the time considering this was twenty years ago, progressive views on pedagogy, like when the dad says kids should have the right to express their opinions. They just shot beyond the mark, as it is true that they also need some structure, and they also need to learn to respect other people and their boundaries. But as you said, with them it feels more like misguided good intentions, they just want their kids to be happy and would need to be educated. But the most important thing a kid needs from a parent is love, and it’s quite clear whose kids are feeling more of that… not to say joy and sarge don’t love their kids, but it doesn’t do any good if it barely shines through well-intentioned strictness.

Agreed

Exactly, you need to be in the middle to balance a family

My favorite like was the one that went like “I don’t dream about a mansion or money. I dream that I die holding my kids hand”

He won me over at 31:09. "You will all start reaching for excellence!" as he reaches for the imaginary "excellence" in the air LOL.

He was a douche. Very disrespectful, and is fattening his kid. Poor kid's gonna have a realization that being fat doesn't make you very happy when no girl wants you.

That's funny because I can't stand him

Who wouldn't say that though

@@IGiveTheBestTakesThat's true, common misconception. Only chickem nuggos is food. And beef porkplant sauce.

@@michaelhaydenbell Don't you forget our Lord and Savior Bacon!

@@rustyhowe3907 You forgot the American staple: B U R G E R

Yeah there's a lot of equivocation between the two families and i'm not here for it, you hit the nail on the head

Yeah I agree the hollands aren’t nearly as bad no matter how much you despise junk food ,it’s not even the worst junk food anyways 99% if nba players probably also grew up eating chicken nuggets

yeah the dad of the Holland family put it perfectly when he was like "kids need to express themselves" they certainly are not perfect but i think those kids are going to be better off long term

Absolutely, I'd go as far as to say he's ironically more mature than Joy, though that may be because the bar is low. Specifically I'd like to point out this moment 36:25 where you can see Curtis has his bat and is clearly ready to start smashing some stuff. Which of course he would, not only is he a kid but he has a derby driver for a dad and a green light to destroy stuff that he normally isn't allowed to destroy. But, when his dad says he won't do it and drops his bat, Curtis does the same exact thing without hesitating. If he were a real spoiled and out of control kid, he would just do what he wants and take the opportunity to start hitting stuff. However the fact he follows and even mirrors his dad *without* even being told what to do shows he actually does respect his father and his principles. Of course this respect extends to his mom as well, but that moment really confirms to me that they do have a real loving household. Which in my opinion, is worth much more than "discipline" or a well made bed.

@@mysticknight1494 not only that, but at some point around the poster, seemed like sarge said that kids SHOULDN'T express themselves...or something like that. Kids absolutely should and can express themselves. Like you said, they aren't perfect, but they're growing and learning.

Being spoiled isn't asking, it's being given. It would be fine if Curtis was just a kid who like nuggets, the issue is that his parents seemingly let him eat junk food at every meal.

There is 😢

​@@echidnut6602 DAMN IT

@@HiMyNameIsChadd what do you mean where? All throughout. Everyone called the bald dad a waste a space garbage piece of crap and he just silently took it, taking his time with single-sentence responses as everyone tells him he's a disappointment and doesn't deserve to be breathing the air and Gunnar acted like that was normal ass behavior too. "Cookies and kicked her out" like bro, you just saw her fucking abuse him. Optically it's terrible, but the racist thing is that... people would've noticed if they where talking like that to anybody else, that dude clearly has not been allowed to feel things the same way as everybody else for a really long time, and if he was he would've popped on their flabby french fry asses. But when they said that shit to him, he just took it like it was business as usual and that's because that's the fucking world he has to prepare his son for. Because couples like that are gonna be saying shit like that to his son as soon as he hits 16 and enters the workforce on god.

@@HiMyNameIsChaddWhere is there NOT racism in the outro?! Makes me sick

It got an "aww" from me 😅 I respect him alot for that.

i’m all for a good supporting family but there’s a limit to the leeway you can give your kids before they turn out as major problems

Yea those future phat phuks need a bit more structure and health.

@@the_bromies_podcast239 Exactly. I'm blown away by the amount of people who don't understand that this is just two sides of the same coin and both families have SERIOUS flaws. Having a wholesome catch phrase for your lifestyle is cute and all, but the amount of damage you're doing to those children teaching them that there are absolutely no repercussions to not trying to be healthy in your diet or physical activity in ANY WAY WHATSOEVER, I mean Jesus Christ...

@@michaelhaydenbelli think the reason why people are being meaner to the other family is because they’re openly cruel and neglectful while the others seem to at least be trying. I’m not disagreeing with you though

😐...😅...seemingly the unpacking is part of the methods leading to the series of mentioned facials😂....knowing that I may have chosen to travel no suitcases😊 💚➖️🌐➖️💚

Good facials come in big packages which Sarge is an expert at opening

I don’t know what deployment he was on, but that’s not the norm

Idk if it’s true, but I saw another comment saying he was medically discharged after basic, so who knows if he actually went anywhere

@lizek3515 that comment was joking

Like $5 at a junk store

It's one banana, how much could it cost?

he was lowkey making some points. 'let me enjoy my childhood' like.... he's kind of Right, ngl. i'd try to encourage him to try some veggies and fruits at some point lol but i can get creative with that. i bet he'd like fried mushrooms edit- i love how right after i commented this, i restarted the video and heard curtis' dad say 'every child has a right to express their opinions'. that's definitely why he's so good at talking things out, the parents. i really hope this family has the best in life, idk i just loved that little sentiment. it's so important to treat kids like they're humans with their own tastes and preferences, opinions and thoughts, etc. 🥹✨✨

@@mightymeatymech I think his relationship with food is a reflection of his parents. Eating for health just isn’t a priority for them and I do hope they did learn some balance between eating for health and pleasure. As someone who was once 100lbs heavier and still pretty heavy I know personally it’s difficult but not impossible. His family was so endearing and I only want the best for them.

I was thinking the same thing, like I'm sure he's spoiled but honestly, yeah, not that big of a brat about it. It definitely felt like they had him play it up a little because even his worse moments on the show weren't that bad. The whole running away thing was probably talked about before it was filmed too I'm sure.

exactly!! he's very vocal about his feelings, probably because he wasn't punished for speaking his mind. as someone who was raised walking on eggshells, I'm always happy when I see kids saying how they feel. also, the chicken nugget thing, could be an eating disorder called arfid, usually caused by sensory issues or trauma with food in the past. I really resonated with him, as a kid I'd often go without dinner if there was something I despised

Curtis is more prone to develop violent outbursts when he can't get what he wants at a later age. Yeah, Curtis seems like a pretty chill kid but he's gonna be a teenager and then an adult. is it still gonna be cute when he demands chicken nuggets or talks back to his parents when he's like 16. Curtis is a very unique expressive child who has the potential to do cool things later in life but it's most likely not gonna happen if he keeps eating unhealthy food and not learning the value of no. He shouldn't be growing up in an environment where he's able to do whatever he wants to do and get whatever he wants. If that mentality is not challenged. It's gonna remain even to adulthood. I love that they are letting him explore his own interests. They shouldn't stray from that tho

There may be more to the story. If it has been specified beforehand that cookies were not appropriate to bring into her home and offer to her children and the woman did regardless, I would fully understand.

@@ginglebretthe wives get a week to enforce they’re own rules

Haha, my bad, took it as a recounted story not involved in the swap. That's what I get for half paying attention.

I think he kicked her out more because she said he was a disgrace to the human race and a waste of air. Which was completely out of line.

@@honeybust4582 I agree that was out of line but as someone who grew up with an almond mom and is recovery from the ED my mom forced on me with with the same energy as those parents - like kinda accurate in the sense he is hurting his kids more by forcing such strict eating habits on them that is only going to do hurt those kids long term - as much as the other parents letting the kids eat junk all the time. During this time - the early 00s (which is when I was these kids ages btw) it was a real problem of moderation on both fronts. It's why a lot of people my age have delt with a lot food issues - both over eating and under. It could have been handled better on all fronts. But the way the edited the episode - they just made it look more like it was about the cookie.

🤯

I'm so glad I wasn't the only one who noticed that

Okay so it wasnt just me who noticed lmao. Maybe if she lived in a shed her saying that would make sense

Back then? A TV set and a kitchen remodel were on similar footing. My family had to make that decision in 2004-ish. We remodeled the kitchen.

@PastelOddity from googling around. A tv cost about $400 in 2004 and a basic kitchen remodel cost about $15,000 in 2004. That last number seems a bit high, but no way you're going to remodel your house for $400, even in 2004

I'm losing my shit at this comment

Those are gonna be the most important memories those kids have.

My dad did derbies/figure 8s and let me tell you. Those were FUN memories. We got to go in the pit occasionally. My dad always wrote our names somewhere on the car, usually in an area where it wouldn't be crushed (unless we got to pick the spot lol). I absolutely loved going. To this day, I keep saying i need to go to another one, but haven't. Nothing beats watching them announce the cars, people cheering and the mud flying.

💀💀💀💀💀

What was your family like?

Lol i think it makes us all realize we're crazy😂

My mom randomly decided we had to take showers outside when we had a perfectly good shower in the house... the "shower" was a hose and some tarps in the woods. Plus she was constantly changing what we were allowed to eat based on articles she read.

That's why wine was created!

Failed at boot camp, and spends the rest of their life trying to prove to themselves that they're good enough.

Right?!?? The daughter is so pure and sweet. It looks like she just enjoyed Ginger’s attention and kindness 😊

Nearly spat out my drink when I saw him do that. Guy is hilarious.

Kinda makes me wonder if a young child has to have consistent adult interaction to develop a personality. Makes me think of a girl I knew whose parents were super neglectful and the kids had really delayed emotional/interpersonal development. The little girl in this episode barely seems to understand what's going on and her brother looks like he's lived a hundred years and he's so emotionally flat until the very end. It feels like the parents are so focused on their appearances and luxury that they don't even sit still long enough to have a conversation with their kids. These kids had never really been conversed with at home but instead I think they were just told to do things with no room for questions

My parents didn't spend much time with me, but my younger sister had colic, so they did spend a good amount of time with her. She was a social butterfly and I was always very quiet. So you could be correct. But my mom is also super outgoing and my dad is reserved so it is probably somewhat related to genes as well.

@@androgynylunacy I had parents that only had two settings; screaming orders or extreme violence with obviously no care to develop me as a person, I was the maid and considered as property. Through all that I've become almost mute where people genuinely can't hear me when I speak and I have to yell (by my definition of yelling) just to be slightly audible, all my life I got told to shut up because no-one wanted to hear me, nowadays almost no-one can.

@@rustyhowe3907Oh my goodness, that's heartbreaking. I'm so sorry for you! You deserve to use your voice & be heard as much as anyone. Your voice is needed, I bet you could inspire others to overcome their pasts as well 💗

All 4 of us kids could read before we started school just from our mom reading stiry books to us. Kids love to ride bikes, run and play. They don't need boot camp. They do need a healthy diet, including plenty of protein. This veg only diet's sure not adequate. My mom was a great cook, and it included mostly very healthy ingredients.

The writing is a little behind but her reading level is completely normal for her age, and either way we don't know if she has any disabilities that make reading harder, it sounds like she wants to learn it is sad that her parents probably aren't helping her since she keeps saying that though

@@bea4819 she's six and she seems unable to read anything. I was expected to read directions on tests at 6 years old in first grade. I had English tests where I needed to read a sentence and fill in the blank with the correct vocab word. This was a normal public elementary school.

@@bea4819by first grade (6 years old) most kids are expected to read at least a little. You learn the basics in kindergarten (5) and learn how to read a little by then and those skills are built upon by first. If the kid cannot read at ALL she is behind. If she has a learning disorder, they should have been helping because she shows an actual want to read

@@bea4819you are normally expected to have a basic knowlage of phonics and reading by kindergarten, while the teachers help you. By first grade you should be able to read a sentence to actually do most of the schoolwork

You should be getting that in food. Maybe a couple extra supplements but yeah that's weird.

Yeah, truth. It's harder to absorb supplements. I hope they at least weren't taking them on an empty stomach. Also, the "your cells are clogged and need a detox" thing strikes me as nonsense. Probably what made him sick was that his microbiota (the bacteria colonizing his gut) got stressed out by the sudden dietary change and told his stomach to get rid of it. I'm under the impression that such sweeping dietary changes should be done over time. I do feel like maybe they gave those two parents "the villain edit," and it did _seem_ like they grew a bit from the experience, though. And credit to the father for listening to the nutritionist, they probably get a lot of info normally through diet fad media, which packages itself as scientific and healthy without necessarily being so, so it's much better to consult a real expert.

i bet her piss is yellow.... sign that you're taking to many unnecessary vitamins.

There's nothing inherently unhealthy about it, and there is no way to know without a full diagnostic of their nutritional needs in comparison to what they regularly consume. Your moderation comment is generally true, but there is much more nuance to proper nutrition than mindlessly following cliche advice.

​@@ginglebretyou can definitely have an excess of certain vitamins. You really only need scarce amounts. Best case scenario, you piss the excess. Worst case scenario, you overdose

exactly. Carrots for instance release more nutrients when steamed versus raw

You would have thought they could figure that out by having to take all those supplements. If you have a well balanced diet, you don't need supplements.

I took it as meaning it's normal at FIRST. Bc, let's be honest, if you go from a diet of just greasy fast food and then eat a meal of just vegetables, your stomach won't like it at first. Like for such a huge diet change, I think being sick at first makes sense and that it kind of is purging the bad shit. However, if she DID mean it's normal to be sick like that constantly, then I can't defend it lol.

@@brianbenoit6883 I don't even know if they have to take the suppliments, or if they take them because they think it is needed.

@@brianbenoit6883 if you live in a place that doesnt get a lot of sunlight, like scandinavia, its beneficial to take vitamin d3. when i was depressed and i stopped taking meds and just focused on taking d3+magnesium it was a huge improvement for me

I think it’s a fucked thing to say, especially since she followed it up saying he’s breathing air other people should be breathing. Low key sounded like she was telling him to kill himself

@@TheOtherBoobJustDropped then you’re lucky never to have met an abusive man. They all are breathing air they don’t deserve to breathe.

To be honest his sister didn’t even really have a single scene in the episode let alone like any lines at all, lol

The mom's not bad, either. She's just a bit too passive / lenient with her kids, but u can tell it comes from a place of love / wanting her kids to enjoy their childhood, and not from a place of indifference / neglience

@@Strawberriezrule13 Also the mom standing up to sarge, and not taking any crap was such a joy to see.

Nah, they were raising entitled kids that would grow up to make their partners' lives miserable. The fact that Curtis now hunts for pleasure show that there is no empathy in his body and that's not shocking.

@@PB-qe6ce Are you under a delusion there are no people in US hunting to EAT, buddy?

@@spiderlily723 Especially these days. It's much cheaper to hunt for our food than to buy it. Personally my family doesn't, but I've always grown up knowing why people hunt for their food. Hell, they probably respect and know more about that animal than these so called "animal lovers." Let's be real, animal lovers would probably rather all the deer overpopulate and kill themselves than for us to humanely take care of them and keep the population healthy. They just like to gab while not knowing a damn thing about wildlife conservation and management in reality. They'd rather just let all of them die off and kill themselves horribly than for us to do our due diligence and take care of them. Ain't no point in arguing with them in the end. Most I've realized only care about their own voice.

@@tabortoothtiger7580 Nah, animal lovers are cool. ARAs - animal rights activists are the cookie ones who think we should just give pray contraceptives. xD

​@spiderlily723 Bro you talk like someone who's been brainwashed. Get this delusional cult shit out of here

FR, literally that dude who considers taking fliers from the military guys in highschool is the same as being a soldier

He's a typical army guy that didn't see combat. The real vets who nearly got blown up and watched people die usually don't make the fact that they were soldiers be the entirety of their personality. This guy is some dude that sat behind a desk or something and now thinks he's a badass and wants everyone to kiss his ass... which is basically the reason I dislike most veterans tbh

same holy shit. just comical.

I already finished laughing when I read your comments and laughter louder😂😂😂

It seems like the misspelled devin
