What is up everybody? I am George Masi. Please say hello to my co-host, Sharona. So this
is the TLC Weekly Roundup on the George Masi show and we are talking a thousand pound sisters.
We were talking about this last week and it was getting pretty crazy when we were talking
about it, but we ran out of time. So I am so glad that we have time to talk about this.
So we said goodbye to the thousand pound best friends last week and there's so much going
on on season four, episode nine of a thousand pound sisters. So Tammy has decided to tell
her family that after two weeks of knowing Caleb and that she's known him for a month
now, they're engaged. And not only did she say yes to the proposal, but she's going to
get married in two weeks in Ohio when her entire family is in Kentucky. And she's like, oh,
by the way, y'all need to be at my wedding so I can marry this complete stranger. And
I'm doing it in Ohio because my friends are here and you getting there is kind of your
own problem. So it's just, I don't know, like I'm trying to look at it from two different
angles because I like to be open minded here on the George Masi show. So I was looking
at it like Tammy has spent most of her life not being able to have the things that she
wanted, especially kids, a boyfriend, a normal life. So now that she has opened these doors
through her hard work, I wonder if she feels like this is her chance at everything that
she couldn't have. It's just, but then I'm looking at it from her family standpoint
where they're like, this is a complete stranger that you don't know. Been in this rehab for
a year, then all of a sudden, like this one month in this whole year is like obsessed
with you. I get the worry from the family, but I also feel bad because Tammy's like,
I just want them to feel happy for me. And she's not in that, but it's like as family,
like for me, when it comes to family, I don't feel happy for them as much as I feel worried.
And I like try to control them. So as family, we do that. We're always like, don't do that.
That's a bad idea. We're never just happy for them because they're our family and we
don't want anything bad to happen. No, I definitely feel that for sure. Like, like you said, I
see both sides. Like she's finally getting her life. Like she's finally getting it. So
she's like, I want to do everything. Like she's hitting the ground and running. Like
she's like, I want to go shopping. I want to do this. And then I just want to get married
really fast, you know? So I see where her family's coming from because even if any of
my friends were like, Hey, I just met this guy like a week ago and we're engaged, but
actually we're getting married. I'd be like, Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. What?
Like, so I get where they're coming from. And the fact that like she doesn't fully know
him. I feel like if they would have made it, maybe waited like just a couple months to get
to know each other, like, I think I don't remember exactly said, I think it was either
Chris or Amanda, they said, like, you need to wait a little while to see someone's true
colors, because they're still in like, yeah, very crazy honeymoon stage where they're just
like infatuated with each other. But you need to like see how you work together for like
a little bit longer. But you know, if it makes her happy, and this is how she wants her life
to go, and this is what she thinks is right for herself. I mean, everyone's being supportive.
And like Chris said, like, I'm not going to do nothing till you make me do something.
Well, I don't know. I see the angles from where the family is coming from because Caleb
is working towards weight loss surgery. And he's been there for a year. So is Tammy and
Tammy has, you know, moved mountains in that year. And it's like Caleb doesn't look like
he's close to being ready for his surgery. I don't know that. But it just seems like
because he said that he coded a few times while he was there, meaning that he was dying on
the table. And they saved him. And I'm just like, are they in the same place in their
journeys? And I think that's what's hard for me because Tammy is in a very great place
in her life. She is happy. She is doing things. She is walking. She's trying on wet and dresses.
She is living a life that she didn't think she was going to be able to live. So I get
that. But where are they journey wise? And are they compatible? Because she wants him
to leave with her. But I don't think Tammy has that much longer in the rehab facility.
So how would he get to his goal weight, have surgery and then recover in that short amount
of time? Like I feel like love is clouding her thought process, right? She's not even
seeing straight and thinking clearly because she's literally so infactuated with someone
who's so infactuated with her. And I love this for her. I love the fact that she has
someone who is literally in awe of her presence and loves her. Everyone deserves that. But
I'm like with Chris and Amanda too. Because I'm like, who is this guy? And like you don't
even know anything about him. Like I feel like I've had friends for years and I still
learn things about them. Like we'll go out and do things and we'll go on a trip together.
And I'm like, I didn't know that about you. Like you still are learning things. So it's
like, I love Tammy that she's happy, but I'm just as worried as the family. And I feel
like everybody at home is worried too. Yeah, I mean, I feel like you really need, I don't
feel like you know someone fully till you really live with them or travel with them.
There's just so many other experiences. Like yes, they live in the same facility, but they
don't live together one on one. And like you said, their journey seemed very different.
Like Caleb is not talking about, like yes, he wants the surgery, but he doesn't have
like a set date. Like we don't know, like, you know, Tammy's about to get her trach taken
out. Like she's about, you know, she's ready to go home and just continue on her journey.
And if she's still continuing on her journey, it's kind of going to be more difficult for
her to be focusing on him. And when he has to recover from stuff, when she still has
to be doing what she needs to do. So I just hope that he sees her as like his motivation.
But at the same time, like I don't see him leaving with her because he's still like he,
she had to recover the same way. Like she knows it's going to take, like she understands
what it's going to do to his life because she's living it now. So it's either they're
going to be married and then he's going to stay in the facility or if he comes home,
like how I don't understand how that's going to fully work. I hope it works. But like you
said, like it's a scary time for her. And I know that she's like so infatuated and she's
like probably just so in love and just wants to do this. But I hope that it doesn't bite
her in the end.
I agree. Love doesn't have an expiration date. It's always going to be love. Okay. Now I
want to talk about this phone call that Tammy had with Amy. She wants Amy to be her maid
of honor, which makes sense because Tammy is made of honor and she actually planned
a whole wedding. She did the decoration. She chose the cake. The whole ambiance of the
situation was all Tammy. So it's return the favor. You know, when somebody does a favor
for you, you return the favor and Amy reluctantly was like, well, you're my sister and you're
my family. So if you asked me to do something, are you asked me to be somewhere I'm going
to be there? She doesn't really feel like this is the best idea in the world. But she's
like, I'm going to get the dresses. I'm going to get the decorations. I'm going to come
up with the seascape, you know, and everything that we can have for you to have this perfect
wedding. But she was like, if I get there and he's weird, like you're not marrying anybody.
And I'm just like, I feel Amy on that. It's like, if you get there and you get like a
horrible feeling, like no way. And then when they got there, it was kind of like a staring
session. Like they stared him down. Like I call that a side eye session. Like as soon
as they came in and they sat down and everybody was just like, it was a side eye session. They
were like, I don't know this dude and I don't like this dude and I'm going to figure out
what all this is. You know, they were just like, whatever's gone on in here, I'm going
to figure this out. It's, it's so normal for family to feel that way. Because I was thinking
about it and I was like, I'm the same way. My sister has been married three times. And
every time I met each guy, I hated them. But it's not because they were horrible, but it's
not because of that. It was only because I love my sister and I don't want anything to
happen to her. And I don't want anyone who's weird or bad anywhere near her. So I was like,
I totally get how Chris feels. Chris was like, I'm going to have to chew him out and make
sure that this man understands that this is my sister and I will literally do anything
to protect her. And I feel like Caleb got a little nervous. You know, he was a little
scared. He's like, they can put it into this. And Tammy is like, y'all got to chill because
you're going to scare him away. And I feel her on that too. Because it's like family
can definitely push people away because they come on too strong. And it's like, yeah, my
family loves me. You love your, your family. But you know, you push away the person that
you love from them. And it's like, now they're alone. So it's like, you love me so much.
Now I'm alone. You know, that's how Tammy looks at it. Like, y'all love me so much, but you're
going to make me alone. Like chill out a little bit, you know?
Yeah, totally. I get that. Because families can be very overwhelming. But I think that
what Caleb doesn't understand and what Tammy doesn't maybe want to see is that they have
been there every time that she has almost died. They have been there for her every time
that she was almost at her goal and didn't reach it. They have been there for her through
thick and thin. So they want to make sure that everything is going to go off perfectly
for her because they don't want to see anything happen to her. That's their little sister.
Like you're going, I would do that for my little sister. I'd do that for my friends.
Like you want to make sure that your family and your friends are taken care of by the
person that they're saying I do too. Because Tammy wants to spend the rest of her life
with this man. So I get where Chris is coming from. I get where they all are coming from.
So we're just going to have to see what happens. I mean, I just really want it to go well
for her. But I really hope that Caleb, still, I feel like his mindset's a little different
than Tammy's is because he's not in the same, like we said, the same part of his journey.
And I hope that it doesn't like make her relapse or something because, you know, and I want
her to not just focus on making him better. Because I know a lot of times, you know, people
will try to, you know, help their significant other to make them better. And they forget
about themselves. And Tammy really needs to remember that she needs to put herself first,
regardless, like point blank period, put yourself first, girl, we need to get you out there
shopping. We need to get you driving a car. We need to get you to get that, you know,
like she can't do all that stuff if she's too busy, worried about someone else. So I
really want to work out for them. But I want her to still remember that she is the main
person that she needs to be thinking about.
Yes, she is still Queen Tammy. She's always going to be the queen bee is what the family
say, you know, she it's Tammy what Tammy wants, when Tammy wants it, while Tammy wants it
right at that moment. Don't lose that energy, you know, because just because you found Caleb
and you want to make sure that he's okay. Because like Chris said, you don't want to
be taking care of him, right? He needs to be taking care of you. And yes, you can take
care of each other, but it should never be just you taking care of him. Like you got
to be Queen Tammy, you have to stand for what you want and put yourself first. And I kind
of wanted them to like take Tammy out after she hit her go away and go clubbing and let
her just organically meet a man, right? Like just organically see what was out there because
I feel like this is too premature. She's about to be smaller and a new body and looking
amazing. And then she's going to be married. She can't even go out and have fun. Like I
wanted her to get to go out and organically meet people, you know, and just buy with people
and see how she felt. Now that she's going to do this down, even before she's at her
lowest weight, she's already going to be married and hitched. You know, and I'm like,
I mean, that's, that's not fair. You deserve to go out and club, meet people and do all
types of stuff. And speaking of Amanda thinks that this rushed wedding is because Tammy might
be pregnant. Now, Amy thinks that it's impossible, but Chris was like, well, there's a wheel,
there's a way, you know, if it's, if it's a wheel, they might have figured out some
type of way to make that happen. And that really is bothersome because we know Amy is
in that same situation. She had her surgery and then had a baby, then turn around, had
another baby and it put a halt to your progress. And it puts a halt to your body healing. And
Tammy has a trick and Tammy is at a different weight than Amy was. So could her body even
handle a pregnancy? And I know how much she wants a child and I want her to have that
so bad, but I want her to be healthy and to do it in a time where it won't put her at
risk. So I'm really worried about that because that would explain such a fast track wedding
and a fast track relationship because she already said before she even knew Caleb existed
that she was ready to have a baby. So if that's going on, I'm going to have, but everybody
else is a little worried because she just has so many health things going on.
Yeah, I mean, it's a blessing if she is pregnant, but for the sake of her body and her healing
and her recovery and her journey, I hope that they just pump the brakes a little bit and
wait for the baby. Like they're already doing the shotgun wedding. So I mean, let's just
hold off on the baby for now, for now, and make sure that you know her and Caleb really
vibe and that everything actually works out before they bring another person into this
world and that her body, like you said, could her body handle pregnancy right now? We don't
even know that like the doctors and her haven't even, they've even talked about that yet.
So we need to know if that's something that her body can handle so that she can be healthy
and that her baby can be healthy. So I think I hope, I mean, like I said, a baby is a blessing,
but I hope that they wait a little bit longer so that they're able to make sure everything
is safe, that the baby is healthy. I think Amy was a little bit further out in her journey.
I mean, it was so quick, but she's a little further out than Tammy now. Like Tammy still
has the trick, like you said. So we still need her to get to a smaller weight and to
be a little bit more, you know, healthier. Her body needs to still recover because she's
like fresh, fresh out of the surgery. Like, yes, Amy was fresh, but not this fresh. Not
this fresh. All right, guys, that's all that happened. This was season four episode 9,
1000 pounds sisters. This season is just crazy. I am like in awe of the craziness going on.
And I feel like I'm part of the family. I feel like I'm like the honorary brother because
every time I learned more about Caleb in the situation, I'm like, no, no, not happening.
Tammy, I'm about to call you and then I realized I don't have her number. All right, guys,
