I remember this guy on TV, we used to have a lot of weird shows like “That’s Incredible!” and “Ripley’s Believe it or Not!” watching this guy eat a fuckin’ airplane. I kept wondering how his teeth & digestive system handled it. Now I’m an adult and I also wonder what his psychological problems were. Where did his parents & schools & friends & loved ones fail him?
Dude I fucking miss those shows though. It’s not the same experience if it isn’t a show you like, come across randomly, and sit down on the couch for an hour with commercial breaks
Yeah those were really good shows. I wonder why we don’t have shows like that anymore, they would do great. Everybody loves that kind of subject content.
My mom used to pretend she ran a parody version of one of those shows. It was called “that’s disgusting!“
Another one was, “real people.” I watched a 10-year-old girl lift a car on that show

I also wonder what his psychological problems were. Where did his parents & schools & friends & loved ones fail him?

Some times peops just do it for the love of the game . Always consider that possibility
