Seems like a nice guy, but his voice made me want to clear my throat every time he spoke.
shareI think he is on the autism spectrum. I agree The voice is odd...
shareI agree! His behavior in general is BEYOND awkward in front of cameras. It's very strange almost.
shareIt sounded to me like he might be hearing impaired. I've known a lot of people with hearing aids/cochlear implants whose speech sounded like that.
The only thing constant in life is change
I could have been killed, and you're drinkin'!
Hee Hee, made you look!
his body, his face, his mannerisms, his VOICE, everything is so awkward about this guy. how old is he
'There's just a possibility that I will kiss a doorknob.'
Just call me Sleight
He's 22. I think he's a teller in a bank. (Not positive - don't hold me to that!) lol
shareI agree... as a parent of a child with autism I feel he is on the spectrum. He truly has no concept of the way things work- (ex: just take a loan and pay for it) and he does have many mannerisms as a person with autism. If it is not autism then he seems to have no common sense and cares about himself. I think she may have some struggles as well they chalked up to her being "ditsy" I think it is more. I don't think this marriage is a good idea and it isn't up to me, but Kody as her father shouldn't have just caved and didn't give his okay until later
shareIt's interesting that more than one person has brought up autism, considering they have an autistic child in the family. I think Tony is odd and he and Mykelti are sure to have issues, but I think he was just nervous on camera. If we weren't told Dayton has Aspergers, we wouldn't know. However, a bank teller is a good job for someone on the spectrum.
shareYes a bank job is good for a person on the spectrum. But those who are high functioning if you give them specific tasks and let them do that they perform well. It is when something out of the Ordinary of everyday causes issues for them in my experience. We also don't know for sure if he is a teller the poster said thinks or something like that. Plus we also don't know if he is a teller if he gets specific accommodations which can effect how someone performs w needs. Too many questions. He seems on the spectrum to me.
share"I agree... as a parent of a child with autism I feel he is on the spectrum. He truly has no concept of the way things work"
I want to preface my post by saying I have a son with autism, too. (He's 24.) :)
Tony works for a bank... he clearly has a concept of how loans work. He knew what he was saying.
He's kinda doofy. Not really my kinda guy.
shareHis vocal patterns seem to indicate a lot. I don't think Tony's a wise choice. Now, for a while my Mom and I visited and looked into our local Mormon church, and I will say this much: They do look out for their own, but that's in time of emergencies (house burning down or flooded out, etc). But I would be severely opposed to adults taking care of my young marriage if I were a man. Tony acts like the worst would be living with the extended family, but a bank teller -- with we-don't-know how much experience he has at the job; and the church is already standing up against them. Also not a great sign.
I apologize in advance for the 19-yr-olds to 29-yr-olds who instantly rail against this claim, but it seems a very widespread majority of the ones I know of (through friends, etc.) are literally still living with their parents *and* expect their parents to take care of them, and these same people -- again, by majority, have college degrees! They complain they can't find jobs, but most seem to just refuse to start anywhere, even a low-paying job, to at least start getting experience of some sort. The four parents that discussed these two getting married ... well, part of me thinks Tony's parents literally see this as a GREAT way to get him out of their home!! Your 22-y-o son has dated 3 mos and wants to get married?! Or 5 months, whatever -- *not* enough time to know someone. Yet they're happy about it *and* defend the kids' decisions ('Oh we had nothing when we started, either!') They don't look 'happy the kids are in love' ... the wife was staring swiss cheese through her husband the whole time he was all for it, although she chimed in at what seemed the right cues; remember, the Browns know them so well they call them something like 'Vegas Mom & Dad'. Well they sure looked surprised at Tony's parents defending the idea.
That was not Tony's parents that Kody and Christine talked to. That was the couple that owns the pawn shop at St. George that Mykelti works at.
shareHe seems very immature. When he said if cost was the issue of why Kody wanted them to wait to get married that there were ways around that, I thought he was going to say that him and her would help pay for it. Instead he suggested that Kody take out a home equity loan to pay for their wedding and that was a very immature and selfish way of thinking.
Actually, I find both of them way too childish to take on the responsibility of marriage. When they talk about getting married, they sound like they are around 12 years old...
