Gaunab posted:Nah, cause bill was an idiot from the beginning The Heat Waver episode ends nicely, but it bugged me how hard they were on Bill at first when the ungodly skin blistering heat made him quit for a bit. What do goons think about the pyramid scheme episode where cruelty on Bill makes him receptive, but kindness is a turn off?

Outside of childhood you have to work with whatever hangups someone has. If someone isn't used to excessive positive reinforcement they'll be suspicious and frightened of rejection or an ulterior motive, whereas negative reinforcement is their 'norm' and makes them more assured that everything is going right. Basically Peggy isn't a shrink and shouldn't be there to fix Bill. As an aside, I do like how they handle Bill outside clumsily redacting the Laoma episode; he's not a bad person, just a broken one unused to success, and people who aren't used to having an advantage typically go overboard with it. The lesson from the Bulk Buddies episode isn't "Bill would be an rear end in a top hat if he hadn't gotten out of shape", it's "Bill becomes unhealthily focused on the few lights in his life, and clings desperately to them". Same with his adopted son. Though I will say Bulk Buddies is another elisode that feels like the writers got lost in their own plot; there's a -shitload- of foreshadowing with cardio, to the point that you expect muscle-Bill to fail the test because he cant last 2 minutes on a treadmill. Instead he shits out his organs (which is a more dramatic ending I guess, so it's not THAT big a deal).

I agree Bill has success issues, but I don't think it's that he doesn't recognize the idea. He was, as has been pointed out, the real star of his high school football team, and he left Arlen a proud young soldier with a bright career ahead. Bill peaked early, or at least I bet that's how he feels. His grasping at the few lights in his life (a very good way to put it) is him fighting the entropy he fears from experience.

Why the hell did Peggy think showing the Cowboys a mouse being eaten by a viper would convince them to move their training camp. Then she ends up sabotaging the whole thing, as she always does. Peggy and Bill would make a good couple.

I doubt that guy carries any kind of revolving debt. He has one credit card he carries for emergencies and the only other one he might have he used to get a discount on a dryer. Breaking down their finances. Hank and Peggy probably put the generally accepted 10% into a 401K. So that leaves them with $54,000. I vaguely recall reading in this thread Hank might have already paid off most of the house, but assuming he has a regular mortgage, and Hank being Hank, he probably has a stupidly short one to get things over with and pay it all off as fast as possible. Let's assume a 15 year mortgage (why not), and he has another roughly $15,000 a year to pay off a likely $180,000 house (about the median value). Keeping the math simple that leaves him with $39,000. He also has to pay property tax (there is no income tax in Texas) which is 1.94% but to make the math easier let's make it a flat $4,000. The Hills have $35,000 or just under $3,000 a month for all three of them for groceries, bills, truck payments and so on. That's still pretty good considering.

He probably pays quite a bit for homeowner's insurance, and he'd definitely want good policies on his truck and Peggy's car. He'd have medical coverage on himself, Peggy, and Bobby too. Buck Strickland would probably skimp as much as possible on insurance for his employees, so Hank's premiums would be rather high, and deducted from his paycheck.

That makes sense and fits in with why Hank can be actually worried about money and when he sits Bobby down to discuss finances, Bobby is shocked at how much is actually leftover for fun things.

Just watched the episode where Hank coaches the Strickland softball team. I never caught Boomhauer asking for a bribe before he decides his call before. "Hey man can you get me some dang ol' Ranger tickets?" "No..." "SSSSTRIKE ONE!"

Testikles posted:He has one credit card he carries for emergencies and the only other one he might have he used to get a discount on a dryer. I guess a few other things I want to maybe bring into this that could maybe help figure out how much the Hill house/income is amounts to is: -Don't most/all of the rest of the cast live in the same block? Would their incomes and homes be enough to live in the same area if a home were $180K, or do their homes come across as being $120k-180K homes? -When Hank and the gang wanted to rent the house and turn it into a sort of clubhouse until Luann rents it, instead, sas there either any discussion of what the monthly rent was (even split between 4 people as Hank and Luann would have both ended up doing) that might give a good indicator of what real estate values were in their particular neighborhood or the incomes? Given Hank and his buddies would all have the disposable income for the clubhouse dream, it might give some hints to either income and/or property values.
