Adults adopting adults.

If that phrase gives you the ick, then you're not alone.

While it sounds like a bizarre concept, there are legitimate reasons for adults to adopt other adults.

Reasons like grown adults wanting to be adopted by their step parents,

or their foster parents, or maybe they find their biological parents and then want to be adopted by them.

Or less conventionally, flying out a 20 year old pregnant woman from Austria to adopt as your own.

Well that's exactly what happened on A &E's hit new show, Adults Adopting Adults.

This is one of those shows where A &E decided to

give TLC a run for its money in the only way they know how.

The worst way.

Now, I actually found out about this show from a comment on one of my videos.

Kayla told me that I had to look at A &E's Adults Adopting Adults.

A few things on that.

Kayla, I don't have to do anything, okay?

But I did see A &E, and that gave me the ick feeling, so I thought it might be good content.

And then just seeing the title of the show further expanded on said ick, so I figured I should at least check it out.

As usual, later than everyone else on YouTube.

That's my YouTube growth hack.

Wait until everyone's exhausted a topic and it's lost all relevancy, then I swoop in for all the big views.

Does it work?

Pass.

So while this show does feature a few separate families, we're just gonna be focusing on Danny and Christy because that's all that matters.

You will see why.

My name is Danny, this is my wife Christy, and we live in Chillicothe, Ohio.

It's her and I, that's our entire family except for all of our...

Critters.

Right off the bat, we see a lot of Danny and Christy and they's pop up, and that is simply not accurate.

This is very much a Danny venture, and Christy is so not on board.

I haven't heard from Ileana since this morning.

I'm assuming she only got internet on the plane for a little while.

She said she had to buy more.

My guess is she didn't buy more.

Okay, got it.

So we started communicating via text messages and just became acquainted.

So much of the show is going to be uncomfortable, whether it be the interactions with Danny and Christy,

Danny, Christy, and Ileana, or the way Danny says, became acquainted.

We can't have children of our own.

I'm an only child, and I realized that I had no one in my life to be my legacy.

Christy, what's your motivation?

You know they had to have added that in at the end of editing

because that producer's line was coming off a MacBook webcam.

It's love for our family, he and I being the family.

Him and I and no one else.

Did you ever think that we would someday be adopting a grown woman with a baby.

I try not to think too far ahead.

Maybe that was the problem.

All I heard there was, well, I try not to think about it too much. Or like at all.

Oh, fuck.

There I go thinking about it again.

So I assume by now you guys are all thinking this is a very weird and odd situation all around.

Well, don't worry.

This is only the second time Danny has ever tried to do this.

Adult adoption came to my attention when a young 18 -year -old girl came and bought a puppy from us.

Her father passed away years before, and I just felt a need to help her in some way.

She was interested in adult adoption.

You might now be wondering, what must have gone wrong before?

Because I don't see an adopted adult anywhere.

It's nothing bad, really.

It's just Danny wanted to fuck the adult they were trying to adopt before

that that's it unfortunately i could not pursue that

that first young lady

because i actually started having feelings for her she was a very beautiful young lady on top of

that he he's been unfaithful in the past

and it almost ended us it's unclear to me watching now

if him being unfaithful in the past was with the adult

they were trying to adopt before i hope to god not

but it's annie and we know that they will go where TLC will not.

And I was promised that was not going to ever happen again.

Then Ileana came along and I thought, he's really doing this again.

I have never felt more bad for someone in a reality TV show than I feel for Christy right now.

Like, I cannot imagine why on earth she's still entertaining this ghoul.

Maybe their house has paid off.

I don't know.

It could be anything.

But regardless of their past, I trust that Danny will take what has happened between them or what he has done to Christie,

and he will learn from it and become a better man.

What do you want this thing to say?

I don't know.

What would you want it to say?

If it was my poster, I'd want it to say, Welcome to Ohio, where's my blowie?

What a fucking nightmare.

You knew it.

You knew what I was going to say.

Why are you going to be such a freak show?

Why are you always such a freak show?

Naked girls.

My husband has crazy outlandish thoughts and ideas,

and we've had a lot of friends and family that are just very perplexed.

Oh, okay.

I was under the impression that he was a normal guy outside of all of this.

We then get to see what it's like to discuss literally anything with Danny

and how he's able to get away with all of his shenanigans with careful and strategic wordplay.

Ileana and I have just hit it off and I.. think she's going to be a wonderful addition to our family.

But if you don't bond with her, then so be it.

Oh, come on.

Where's my milkshake?

You just got to make sure you bond with her.

Oh, come on.

Really?

100

Milkshake?

101

What?

102

No. Are you going to respond to me?

103

All right.

104

Jesus.

105

Fine.

106

Now, one of the ways they plan to mitigate the tension between everybody once Ileana gets

107

there is to move her into a camper outside the house.

108

Our marriage is not strong enough to have someone else moving into our house.

109

So I went ahead and made sure that we had other accommodations for Ileana

110

and her baby and bought a camper and set it up right outside the house.

111

That Christy has bought and paid for and don't worry, she bought her a pillow.

112

Do you have a pillow for her?

113

I have one, brand new.

114

While we're doing this, think about some ground rules so we don't have any miscommunications between us.

115

How are you going to be with us spending time together alone.

116

Obviously I've got to be appropriate.

117

That's, that'd be great.

118

I most certainly am very, very concerned that I may become physically attracted to Ileana.

119

This is a delicate subject, but so far I have not thought of her as a beautiful woman.

120

She is.

121

This man is all over the place in the worst ways possible.

122

He can't even fool anyone with his gaslighting anymore.

123

He just contradicts himself every time.

124

Okay, we're gonna have to set some ground rules here because for whatever reason, you don't feel comfortable with her and I being alone.

125

I don't get it.

126

Also, I am genuinely concerned I'm going to become attracted to her.

127

Not that I think she's beautiful or anything, but if I had to think about it, I would say she's beautiful without a doubt.

128

What?

129

Can you hand me my milkshake?

130

Christy, tell me what your friends are telling you when you're explaining this adult adoption process.

131

You're able to censor bleep stuff, right?

132

No, sorry, we don't know how.

133

One of the comments I've heard most is, what the f* is wrong with your husband?

134

And we're gonna kill him.

135

They want to just literally kill him, and I've not said that to him out loud.

136

I stopped caring a long time ago about what people thought about me.

137

No, no, no, we can tell, but I think it's time for you to start caring.

138

I'm happy with who I am, and you know, you don't like it, move on.

139

He is unintentionally giving Christy the best advice in the world right now, and neither of them know it.

140

She hasn't checked in.

141

Oh my gosh, so she has about an hour.

142

Now it's time for them to pick Ileana up for the airport, and for a second, it's kind of sweet.

143

Oh, that's her.

144

Yep, it is.

145

Christy, for the first time that we've seen on the show yet, seems like she's actually kind of happy to see Liana,

146

which I would not blame her if she wasn't.

147

Hi.

148

We are so happy you're here.

149

But then Danny realized he hasn't said anything fucking weird in a while.

150

She traveled halfway across this world and I can't...

151

She.. she.. she wants to be with me.

152

He even took a few pauses and had some time to think about it, and still said that.

153

I'm very concerned, but Danny wanted this more than I've ever seen him want anything ever.

154

You hear Christy say that a lot throughout all of this.

155

Her holding onto hope because she's never seen Danny want anything more than this, when that should in fact be a ginormous red flag.

156

It'd be like Chris Hansen sitting down with a pedophile on To Catch a Predator and being like,

157

I just let him go with his pizza because to be honest, I've never seen him want anything more than this.

158

So I figured he was in the right.

159

The next day rolls around and Danny decides to cook breakfast for Ileana and his wife.

160

As soon as she wakes up, we will be ready to make her her first breakfast.

161

But not without some normal family banter.

162

At the end of the day, Ileana, I want you to stay right here because I like hugging on you and you're,

163

you know, you're awful sweet.

164

Okay, was it that weird?

165

Really?

166

Whose dad doesn't talk to them like that?

167

Okay, mine doesn't.

168

Okay, it's fucking weird.

169

It's at this point in the show where it finally gets uncomfortable because it was not before.

170

Danny decides it's best for Christy to be put on the spot

171

and explain to Ileana all of their marital issues because why should he?

172

The three of us, we're just going to be a family.

173

We're going to share things.

174

So, So, Christy, if you're willing to share our marital problems, this would be a perfect place for you to do it.

175

No. Do you want me to ask him to shut the camera down?

176

Nope.

177

Okay.

178

Sure.

179

I need a minute.

180

This is so annoying to watch because Danny is such a manipulative fuck in the most annoying way possible you

181

Sorry about her.

182

Basically what happened, and this is hilarious, you're gonna think it's so funny.

183

We were in this situation before.

184

We were gonna adopt a woman just like you, not pregnant, and the funniest thing happened, I wanted to fuck her.

185

Something like that.

186

You're supposed to laugh.

187

I am disgusted by the person I was.

188

However, I did apologize to my wife, and I continue to pay that price every day.

189

Are you paying it though?

190

Because it seems like the opposite of paying the price is her forgiving you

191

and then letting you do it all over again on TV.

192

She doesn't want me to share.

193

That's fine, because this is something private and this is something between you two.

194

You know he had to have been so fucking relieved that she interrupted him and just said, no, you don't need to tell me that,

195

it's between you and her, so that he didn't have to tell her the truth.

196

Something that she should probably know.

197

You said that you were thinking about getting a tattoo of your baby's foot.

198

Yeah.

199

I'm actually thinking of my arm because I like tattoos a lot.

200

Yeah, Christy doesn't have any.

201

I have, what, three, honey?

202

I don't know how many you have.

203

I think you have more than three, but I could be wrong.

204

I do have an obsession for guys who have tattoos.

205

Dad bods and tattoos.

206

Oh, yeah.

207

Like, there's no way she would have said that if she had known what had happened.

208

Nor would she even be here at all, I imagine.

209

Then we see Christy go to lunch with a friend of hers who,

210

we find out, is just as weirded out by all this as we are.

211

Trying to have some kind of a normal existence with a 20 -year -old pregnant stranger in my house. That blows my mind.

212

It's just tough.

213

Most women would not put up with that.

214

And aside from that, we don't see much more.

215

There is an argument between Dani and Christy, but of course.

216

I went to meet up with my friend

217

Sue, and part of the conversation was how stressful this is for me.

218

Well, I disagree with that.

219

And then the rest of what we see is coming up clips because this is the last episode that aired.

220

A &E canceled the show after three episodes.

221

There are a lot of theories as to why the show was canceled, some citing Danny's racist TikTok.

222

Racism is alive and well in this country.

223

Unfortunately, it comes from the blacks.

224

Or maybe because Danny is just a creepy fuck and all signs point to him doing this with the worst of intentions.

225

Whatever the reason may be, leave it to A &E for having the brittle backbone

226

that they have and canceling this show only after they got shit for it.

227

So guys, I hope you did enjoy today's video.

228

I know it was a little bit more of a what -the -fuck topic, but I, and Kayla, wanted to cover it.

229

With that being said, leave a like rating if you enjoyed, comment, subscribe if you're new here.

230

Thank you guys again for watching, and I will see you next time.

231

Goodbye.

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
