the man you turn to for emotional
support counseling and folksy axioms of
plenty we do have to claim the right to
put up boundaries around ourselves right
unlike his contemporaries Maury and
Jerry his guests don’t physically fight
each other but they do often break down
emotionally and he’s not the kind of
host that’ll leave his guests to fend
for themselves after he helps them you
