really watching your hands when you're taking a shower and make sure that you
make sure that your dog gets clean too okay

before Big Ed would ask roses 90-day fiance to take an STD test in the most
Awkward way imaginable but I have a favor so there's a test
that you can take that's me it's a test for I know if you understand it's STD
which is I think it's a blood test and they just test to see if you have like
sexually transmitted disease before Big Ed would kick off a brand-new wave of
beauty regimen that requires shopping at your local grocery condiment aisle since
I met Rose I I want to look young for her so I have been dyeing my hair and it
irritates my scalp so I found out that mayonnaise makes it smoother and less
dry I'm self-conscious of my physical appearance because Rose is 31 years
younger than me before Big Ed Wood proved to be an
inspiration for people living with kfs the world over well then I started
getting letters from from South Africa from the East Coast telling me hey you
know I have the same you know syndrome as you awareness - oh my god and these
letters would make you cry it's like choke yeah it's man before Big Ed would
get the mean treatment and would sit down on the popular h3h3 podcast 90 day
fiancé's before the 90 day season 4 only kicked off about a month ago but already
began he is one of the most popular contestants to ever take part in the
show now whether it's his awkward sense of humor his little dog Teddy or
worming attempts at inspiration well big Edie he knows his brand and he pushes it
very hard not only are his appearances on the TLC show amazing but across his
social media platforms on Instagram YouTube Twitter at which the guy he's
doing it all I mean the guy even has his own website that sells merch of all
types with his face on it and as the show continues to unveil a story well
it's only a matter of time until Big Ed becomes an even bigger presence in our
lives with more videos like this and my favorite points is when I wake up and
Teddy's just sleeping on my arm he's so funny but just who is this 411 man that
seems to be bigger than life and how did he wind up appearing a 90 day fiancé
well that's what we're here today to find out so grab a glass of your
favorite red wine which for big Ed's sake well we're hoping it's a Mel backup
hey is that Malbec no it's aged 31 what's going on guys
it's boy Mike double credit welcome back to before they're famous the reason that
we've dropped a ton of videos on the characters from tiger kings and those
videos been doing pretty well we did it before they're famous on Joe exotic as
well as aware they now we talked about Carol Baskin and then we talked about
Don Lewis yeah her husband who's gone missing now you guys got to let us know
who's next in the comments down below we're doing this video to see if you
guys like are interested in another TV series because 90-day fiance he's got a
lot of characters anyway let's see how it does let me know who's next you know
where subscribe if you're new now let's get into this video
hey be sure to subscribe and hit that Bell boom Big Ed was born Edward Allen
brown in 1965 in San Diego California where he's lived for his entire life no
Big Ed he was born with a little-known medical condition referred to as K FS or
Kipple feel syndrome now individuals who are born with this
they have a shorter neck with a limited range of movements and an enlarged chest
cavity the genetic and rare disease information center states that this
musculoskeletal syndrome is characterized by the fusion of two or
more spinal bones in the neck and the condition is congenital the most common
features of K FS are a low posterior hairline short neck and limited range of
motion in the head now in terms of what causes k FS well researchers are at a
loss but they do believe it occurs when the tissue of the embryo that normally
develops into separate vertebrae well it does not divide correctly
though as you can imagine while living with this condition for his entire life
well it's proven to be difficult for bigad especially when he was young and
going to school where he was frequently bullied when he'd worked out around
football players in the gym well they would all tease him often calling him no
neck at or necklace when I was in high school I actually got stuck in the neck
machine I used to work out with all the football players and so that became kind
of a running joke so I sort of became you know really well known so people
would but it would still tease me and they would call me no neck and no neck
good and now if you spend a lot of time on the Internet you have undoubtedly
heard about long neck or wide neck and big head he's got a huge opportunity
here to be no neck but I guess it's a bit of a soft spot so he'd rather just
be known as big head despite not letting the condition come to define who he is
as a person well Big Ed has always worried that people will think he is
lesser because you know the way he looks he told et I've even asked my ex-wife
one time who at the time we got married was beautiful and I said why do you love
me don't I look differently to you I have a
shorter neck and I'm not very tall and she's like what are you talking about
but what are the positive side effects is becoming a recognizable celebrity
across the world is that it can begin to break down stigmas
bigad he has said that he's already been reached out to by people with the same
condition as his thanking him for putting a face to their situation then
about two weeks ago I get this letter from Abe in New York that asks my same
condition and and I was able to reach out to him and he's like look I don't
know how you do it you're on national TV rubbing mayonnaise in your hair I have
the same problem everybody's making fun of me he basically wants to give up on
life and I just said you know a do not do not let this syndrome to find who you
are and that's kind of how I've always lived my life now that's a good example
of the power representation across all media platforms can have on the world at
large now big Edie he sums up his philosophy I'm living with kfs as
follows we can learn more when we laugh at ourselves and people are going to
look at us differently but the most important thing I've learned is that I'm
different and it's okay to be different as Big Ed grew up and left high school
will he spend time working as a waiter which is when he first came up with the
moniker of Big Ed because he wanted people to know who he was so that when
they returned to the restaurant well they could ask for him by name it was a
trick that worked at the time and years later while I was still paying dividends
while I was in architecture school I waited tables to work my way through
college and I happen to be working at a restaurant and my tag name was big ad it
was actually on my name badge so fast forward seven years later I'm working
for a big-time firm we're going into a big meeting conference table my boss is
super nervous he's worried about getting this huge half a million dollar contract
we all sit down we lay out a proposal and the gentleman across the table stops
points at me goes your big ad you were dr. popper at El torito's and you served
me you serve me shots of tequila while we did a tortilla cooked us well short
story long we ended up getting that contract and when we left that meeting
my boss the owner of this architecture firm says why don't you put big ad on
your business cards and self-deprecating humor is a large part of what makes him
so popular with his fans though he's even been approached to try his hand at
stand-up comedy over the years and so I was this like lively character and this
guy came up to me in the bathroom he's like look you know what I will write
your material I'll film you and I'll get you on stage but I literally just got
married so I but so I had have I've had offers to do that but um but my humor is
more spontaneous and it's not scripted I I use my my laughter to not only like
calm situations but I use I use my laughter to push people away but I also
use my laughter to people in despite to climb the harnesses sets of humor as it
means to make ends meet well big Edie he didn't spend the rest of his life
waiting tables though he received his master's degree
from the new school of architecture and design and he took what he learned at
that school and transformed it into a successful career as a photographer it
was around this time that big Edie got married and he had a daughter named
Tiffany she was born in 1990 they unfortunately due to his being
unfaithful well as marriage it didn't last and he separated from his wife but
he remained a very strong presence in his daughter's life now when talking
about his relationship with his daughter well big ad he had this to say we are
pretty much two peas in a pot she's just like her father stubborn and she is the
best thing I've ever created on this earth after getting divorce well big
edge he would give up on trying to find love for a whopping 30 years sounds
lonely but the man was taking pictures of
models on the regular so there's that so I kind of have to assume that it wasn't
all doom and gloom no Benchley big Edie he moved on from photography and he
started working for an architecture firm this was
said yeah go and here he said incredible sales goals for himself even if he
doesn't quite always make them okay folks I miss my sales goal okay
I did a million fifty thousand and I said I would do 1.5 million so here's
what happens so yay we recently began he's finally came
around to giving love a chance after falling in love with a young woman named
Rose who lives out in the Philippines I was on social media one day and adding
friends and I noticed roses pitchers she had beautiful eyes I added her as a
friend and one day we were just chatting and then from chatting and led to
facetiming and she started to send me pictures and I've never experienced
anything like this in my life taking it to consideration the fact that baguette
is 54 and Rose is only 23 well this new relationship it has caused some friction
to sprout up in his life especially between he and his daughter who is six
years older than big Ed's new girlfriend any father out there that has a daughter
and a single parent I raised my you know I raced Tiffani since she was 1 I was in
a part-time dad she went to school with me she we hung out we were besties and
she's the number one person in my life and she's mad at me so it was like this
you know ending of a marriage kind of thing like where you know she's hurt and
I didn't understand why and the main reason why she was hurt because you know
I'm a man and we don't listen all the time but I wasn't listening to her she
was hurting and she was sending me texts saying ed this is a bad idea or dad
don't do this but I wasn't listening and that hurt her more than anything Big Ed
was determined to marry Rose despite his daughter's misgivings and after a friend
found out about his new love interest will they recommended that he submit his
story to TLC to take part in their 90-day fiance show
two hours later Big Ed he was on the phone with her producer and not long
after well he was on a plane headed to the Philippines now hopefully this all
works out for Big Ed and he finds love with Rose while patching up his
relationship with his daughter but that type of resolution is beyond our preview
here before they're famous because I'm just getting tuned into the show we just
downloaded it and I'm obsessed I've also been seeing the memes everywhere so
that's kind of why we made this video that I love I absolutely love as weather
