 ted says stacy's phone call to his boss got him fired and he's been blacklisted, hasn't worked since.  He got one by you.  didn't you hear the pride in his voice when she talked about her financial problems?  the truth is that he quit his job when he found out about the phone call, just after he'd told her not to do it, and he's refused to work ever since, just to pay her back for that insulting phone call. 
he loves every minute of their "poverty".

Dr Phil says Denise should lighten up.  I think her kids should lighten up.  tear up a note so when she puts it together it says "Hi Mom".  Put some dead leaves from your yard in a baggie.  have some fun with it.

 You should have asked Michael what kind of man he would have become if he'd been raised in that biker household.  I'll bet his mother would like to hear that answer.
