@outsidelookinginprodАй бұрын
I think he is just living with Bill's ex-wife and kids and it happened recently. The way I imagine the story behind this video is that Bill's wife and kids very recently packed up and left him to live in a four bedroom home alone so they could be with Ben. And I think this is the first time Bill pushed back on Bill's side of the song. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if his ex-wife told Bill she was looking for someone more responsible, who doesn't go out drinking all the time and sleep in. So that's why he is so pissed about Ben mentioning it. I assume they had been fighting about this before the cameras started rolling and the bassist had to witness it, which is why when Bill brings it up during filming, the bassist knows what was unleashed.

@outsidelookinginprodАй бұрын
I love the bassist in this video, and the implication that this argument was happening behind the scenes while the bassist had to witness it and therefore when the relationship drama was brought up, he immediately knew what was coming next. Him mouthing "fuck" was just perfect. I also love his attempt to lighten the mood by changing what he plays, and the big smile on his face that transforms into a frown when Bill tells him not to change the bass. But with all that said, Darren from "#inspirational" is still my favorite Tomverse character. His growing frustration, the way he grits his teeth as he says "I'm going to ask once more clearly: what is the job that earns you money?" and of course his laugh as he asks "Isn't that like a pyramid scheme?" The Tomverse has so many weird characters so it's funny that two of my favorite characters are the "normal" ones reacting to the insanity.

So that's what happened with Ben's wife! She was killed by his ex-best man and Bill's wife ended up consoling him, then that started something between them and she left Bill. Or maybe Bill's real name is Dwink Bexon and Bill is just his stage name (or the show is an undercover operation), and he ended up killing his ex-wife who is now Ben's wife and he is also a cop. But he's not a cop.
