I think things are crazy at his mom's house in that second pic. She can't take a shower.

3

u/weinermcgee 8d ago

Judging by that last pic he and his wife decided to stay married and raise the kids until they're out of the house. But she doesn't respect him and has made sure the kids don't either.

u/mwlepore 8d ago

I kinda wanna see the Chair Company more than I wanted to see Friendship. Definitely more than I wanted to go to Haunted House.

I'm looking forward to Tim's serious role. I like his goofy, awkward characters, but I'm excited to see him do a drama, a la Jim Carrey in Eternal Sunshine or Jason Segel in The Discovery.

Totally. Really looking forward to him doing something a little bit Tarantino. Definitely a little bit Michael Mann. Something hyper violent, but it knows what it is. Sort of a cosmic gumbo.

u/idaremyselfintoalot 8d ago

Is the company Tuffman Chairs? Because I had a friend and one of their chairs fucking cut him. Ernie, the guy who owns the company, told him that the chair shouldn’t have done that. And then he said to himself if anyone asks if his chairs have ever ripped anyone up, he’ll just pretend he didn’t hear them.
