On this week's episode, Avery and Gabe venture back to the tumultuous times of 2020 to explore the world of the Big Ed saga. 90 Day Fiance's most confusing cast member has been taking the internet by storm in meme format for the past three years and now it's time to travel back in the fandom non specific time machine to investigate.

Thank you for hanging out in my little corner of the internet. Stay safe and have a great day/night/unit of time. I'll see you in the next video...bye!! :)
Big Ed - " you're my best view😘 "
Ex-wife Rose - " *neh* 😑 "
I should have clarified better with the ‘Exe-cute’ reference. In Digimon Frontier the Digi-Destined turn into Digimon and it’s when Zoe is Spirit evolving into Kazumon where she says ‘Exe-cute.’
He found it eventually lol 😆
@@AveryTalksAboutStuff I juuuuuuust found the moment he found it. I shall be saying Exe-cute sooooooo much from now on. Muahahahah.
48:05 I feel like the "born the week of my divorce" is weird because there's kind of a "you were born to be with me" that sounds more one-sided than just a "we were meant to be together," and bringing her into that picture as a baby in that way feels kind of...groom-y, in a sense? Like he didn’t groom her because he didn't know her, but he likes the idea on a kind of a weird metaphysical level, and I'm not confident he'd see anything wrong with actually grooming her if he'd had the opportunity.
Yeah I totally see that. It's at best totally awkward and at worst totally creepy which is kind of his brand.
Bonus points to Gabe for incorporating Nunzilla
I feel bad for Liz's kid because she is learning from this relationship them truama from suddenly being kicked out from her home and stuff.
Yeah I feel horrible for her.
I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure the last writer's strike was a big part of what kickstarted the current reality tv landscape in the first place.
I believe Avery said that during one of these recent videos in the past... Month and a half?
Yep, Gabe is actually the go to guy for that one but it could honestly be a podcast episode all of its own it's fascinating.
@Roadent1241 That's very possible. The comment wasn't exclusively intended for Avery, but I'm sorry if it was redundant and like...condescending? to make it. I'm having trouble reading the tone/intent of this comment, sorry.
@@DisabledDragon I'm just being informative, no tone or anything, sorry.
I just remember being in a position recently where I was playing Sonic Frontiers with one of the videos on in the background, might have been the Banks book one and they said - I've slept since so I could be wrong - about the transition to DVD/Blueray helped cause this sort of chaos and that's where stuff like TOWIE and MILF Mansion and all this rubbish came from?
I am open to correction! I could be mixing things.
@@AveryTalksAboutStuff I wouldn't object! I wasn't very aware at the time so learning now is part of my jam.
I remember a little before and during quarantine my family watched 90 day fiancé almost weekly and oh BOY do I remember Big Ed! I remember me and my dad specifically loving the part where Rose told him off and dumped him lol
Ed thought he was a leprechaun in the 1600s…. Okay but leprechauns aren’t like… real.. regardless of the century like ?? This man is an enigma
Trust me I had a whole existential crisis about it while doing the research. 😂
I believe the mayonnaise thing goes way back. Like 50s, 60s, back.
Yeah I did that as a kid.
That's so interesting I had no idea!
34:00 Kinda related. When I was at university, I lived in a shared house with 4 others - 2 girls and 2 guys. One night I dared to go into the shared living room and just like an old Western movie, everyone stopped talking and it was just silent. It stayed that way til I went back upstairs. As soon as I closed my bedroom door, they started talking & having a good time again
Oh nooo! I'm so sorry!
@@AveryTalksAboutStuff Thank you. It was crazy. I had my Mom's words echoing around my head "don't just stay in your room. Spend time with your housemates!" I tried. I could fill a book with tales like that. Like the time they decided to go on a road trip together - all 4 of them - without telling me. So I woke up to an eerily silent house and I had no idea what happened to them. No note, nothing. I thought something bad had happened (did I miss the rapture?! Am I the only survivor?! Or were we supposed to be in university today?! Is today a special day??! Aaagh) So I stay inside all day waiting to see if any of them call or message or *something*...
Then they stroll in at gone 8pm and just nonchalantly said that they went on this road trip. No friks given! They made me feel stupid for worrying and I felt pissed that I wasted a day.
Anyway that's just another chapter in my introverted, worrying life 😥
Just no. This guy is a walking red flag. And that's my opinion before I watch the video.
This is the correct opinion 🫣
🚩Now done with the video. I've lost count of the times Gabe flew the red flag. 🚩
So many red flags 💀
Not Ella watching this before me 😂
3:03 My dad found the llama song about a year ago and sang it for ages. I think this has happened more then once and while I can appreciate the nostalgia a little, I also did not need that earworm, and I'm never sure whether to tell him that I remember that meme from like, middle school, because he looks so pleased when he tells me about it, and I'm afraid that saying that I remember that arcaic meme from when it was not arcaic will put a damper on his excitement.
(Mind you, I have the Kitty-cat Dance song as one of my alarms, and that's sixteen years old at this point, apparently, but it was free on Zedge or wherever and I needed something for my cat food alarm. Also, put-upon cats dancing never gets old, imo. Unless you're the cat.)
Awww, that's so adorable and also so cursed of him at the same time. 😅
Gabe's reactions are the best 💖it
Big Ed always gives me an ick or weird feeling whenever he is on screen. And first comment Naty
Super valid based on his actions honestly.
@AveryTalksAboutStuff its mainly because there is always like manipulation and the way he talks about women ....like the most recent thing was him flashing someone on camera and laughs about it and I'm like " wtf" that can be traumatizing.
Even though the SAG Strike is over, Can you still consider reviewing Lady Terminator?
Yes I have it on the list!
How TLC operates their business reminds me so much of those "influencers" whose whole schtick is essentially exploiting washed up mentally ill content creators.
Okay so, could someone tell me what's goin on with the strike? Every time I google it lately it says that it's over, is that not true? I'm so confused and just wanna know how our peeps are doin and if they are gettin what they need 😵💫
So the writer's guild and the actor's guild were on strike at the same time but had different demands and the writer's got a good deal but the actor's haven't yet and since they're the ones asking for online creators not to cover struck work that's why our programming here is still a little ✨wonky✨
I feel like tlc is using and taking advantage of ed to some extent
They're definitely milking it at this point. TLC is a menace.
@@AveryTalksAboutStuff correct this man needs a steady therapist not national tv coverage
Don't worry, I was cringing along with you guys. Also, where does anime fall in when it comes to SAG-AFTRA.
Anime is generally safe due to it being foreign animation with the possible exception of Studio Ghibli since Disney is a distributor for them these days.
Once again glad I don't watch TLC (my condolences to those of you who do lol). This guy's shorter than me, has a plethora of red flags, and was able to attract had how many women?... Soo is the key to finding a woman to be an insufferable douchenozzle then? lol. This is so messed up.
He's an enigma that's for sure.
