Soap operas. Love me some afternoon drama.

Grew up with 4 sisters and was always watching.

People say pro wrestling is "soap opera for men/kids." It's true, oh it's damn true. They mimic each other.

You can stop watching a soap for 6 months, come back, and feel like you haven't missed a thing. Always heels and babyfaces, just like pro wrestling.

Still binge watch Days of Our Lives with my fiancee. Was a good one they took off the air called Passions. Had a witch, a monkey, and a small doll that turned into a live boy. First early soap was Dark Shadows.

Had a client in Chicago, big burly guy, somewhat loud (stereotypical). At noon he pulled a TV out of his office closet and he and a few co-workers ate a sandwich and watched "All My Children".

I collect a dinnerware pattern made in the 1930s thru 1970s.

I used to watch Days of Our Lives with my mom/grandma growing up. I remember the wild days when Marlena (I think?) was possessed by the devil or something. I remember Victor Kariakis being a real badass and then I later learn that's Jennifer Aniston's dad.

I've been known to binge some garbage on Bravo.

Below Deck is my fav.

Kariakis died recently (on the show and in real life) and Marlena's been possessed 2x's. Keep going back to the well with that storyline. LOL....Stefano DiMera was the real asshole but they killed him off too.

Yeah, I remember Stefano. I also remember when John Black was also Roman Brady, or something like that.

I like Air Supply.

I like the soaps, too. (and BR1986FB’s comment on the relation to Pro Wrestling is right on). I like Y and R, GH and B and B. My favorite characters are Sonny on GH and Victor on Y and R. Eric Braeden is the best. (I remember him from way back on a 1960’s tv show called Rat Patrol and he was also in Escape from Planet of the Apes)

I also like to slap raw meat that’s still in the plastic packaging.

And I also like to click my grilling tongs several times before I start cooking.

I watch every iteration of the show lol. Also watch Southern Charm and Southern Hospitality, both of which are trash but I live there so I have to watch.

Captain Lee is a legend.

Summer House and Winter House also decent. Those people are fucking insane.

I don't really seek it out, but when I see a marathon on and I'm rotting on the couch and/or hungover....I can't stop.
