Today's story tells the all too frequent tale
of a one and four-year old who are left caught
in the middle of a heated domestic dispute.
Because of their ages, I did not fly them to LA,
but instead sent a crew to film them back home.
Meet Hammy and Bowie,
(pigs oinking) (audience laughing)
two potbellied pigs.
(pigs oinking)
Now, most of us know that pigs make a lot of noise, right,
especially when they eat.
But Ann Marie says that her pet pigs are nothing
compared to the slurping, munching, crunching,
chewing, jaw-cracking noises
of her soon-to-be husband, Jimmy,
noises that he makes when he's eating.
Just a few days ago, Jimmy called their engagement off,
says Ann Marie is a lunatic,
(audience laughing)
who just may be sensitive to sound,
but needs to be far more sensitive to him
before they go through with this marriage.
Take a look.
(crunching)
The sounds that my fiance makes drive me crazy.
(crunching) (dramatic music)
His jaw cracks and it makes a lot of noise.
It doesn't matter what product I eat,
something as simple as a bagel.
(dramatic music)
It sounds like he's chewing on rocks.
It's grotesque.
I don't know I'm disturbing you when my jaw cracks.
I don't know that my jaw cracks.
Well, you do now.
When he eats, I get this immediate reaction of anger.
It's not only the jaw clicking, it's the actual chewing,
(crunching) like a pretzel or a potato chip.
It makes her crazy and she starts screaming,
"You're a jerk.
"You're an (beep).
The thoughts that come into my head.
If I had an ice pick, I would put it right through his jaw.
In the house, we don't eat dinner together.
As soon as I see him start to eat, I go in the other room.
(fans screaming)
We went to a hockey game the other night.
Jimmy was having a soft pretzel.
You can't hear anything at a hockey game,
but just seeing the motion of his jaw,
I had to turn the other way.
Just last week, we went for brunch,
and I had ordered a bagel.
My jaw was cracking.
The fork and the knife went down onto the plate
and she went straight up.
(pigs oinking)
You're so cute when you eat.
Look at that nose!
We have two potbelly pigs.
This is Hammy and then we have Bowie.
When the piggies are eating,
the sound doesn't bother me at all.
I say, "Will you please stop eating like a pig?"
And it's funny because I wish he would eat like a pig.
(laughing)
Since we got engaged in December and moved in together,
it's putting a wedge between us.
Last night was knock down,
drag out between Jimmy and myself.
I couldn't take it anymore and I spent the night packing
up my things and put 'em in my truck.
He told me he wanted the ring back.
I put the ring in the box and I walked out the door.
I can't marry into this.
There's no way I can live like this.
(dramatic music)
Okay.
I'm here to help you as a couple, right?
That's why we're here. Well, more so me,
with my neurological disorder.
That's why Misophonia, that's what I read that it is,
it's a neurological disorder.
That's what doctor Google told you?
(audience laughing)
Yeah, (laughing)!
Yes, correct, and everything on the internet is true,
so yes. Absolutely.
Yes. I have to disagree.
You're not here just for her.
You're here for both of us.
I'm the target. Right,
but mostly-- Right.
It's because we're here to,
I need help getting this under control.
You two refused to travel together coming here.
Was it you that refused--
No. Or Jimmy refused?
No, it was him. Me.
It was him that refused.
You refused to travel with her?
His temper overrode-- I did, yeah.
The situation. After, you saw the pigs.
We had to have the pigs boarded
and after we dropped off the pigs,
we went for lunch.
I grabbed an after dinner mint after lunch.
I cracked it in my jaw in the car and it,
the explosion started.
No, the explosion started because I was on the phone
and you know what my issue is, hon.
You know-- Well, that's not--
Let me-- Can you let me finish?
That's not exactly where it started.
Can you let me-- We went into the diner,
and they seated us near where the busboy cleans plates
from the--
And he was throwing the plates in.
That was the first disturbance.
She had to have her table moved.
Right, because it was very loud.
So we walked all the way to the back
of the restaurant, we sat in a nice booth, it was quiet.
And everything was fine.
And then we started, we ordered dinner, blah, blah, blah.
Then he had to eat it.
Yeah, he had to eat it, okay.
You son of a bitch.
(audience laughing)
Of all things, I had the salad bar,
and the salad bar crunches.
What can I?
So we just need to get you a feeding tube and we're done.
Thank you. (audience laughing)
Thank you. Right?
