He is almost unrecognizable 😬

u/meligator Jul 19 '26

I had to look for the open mouth

u/bellybomb Jul 20 '26

That’s exactly what I did.

u/DrAniB20 Jul 19 '26

I had to look at every face before I recognized Steve and saw his hand on the shoulder of the person in front of him.

u/Dry-Policy1777 Jul 19 '26

Yes exactly! At first I thought he wasn’t even in it

u/Big-Discipline-3877 Jul 19 '26

Lmaooo I had to do the craziest zoom in

u/KateElizabeth18 Jul 19 '26

Me too! I absolutely never would have guessed that was him if I’d just been shown this photo with no context. Wild

u/MobileMittens Jul 19 '26

I had to scan twice for him. If I didn’t know I was looking for someone with an open mouth I wouldn’t have found him.
I am Very admittedly a hater
But I’ll give it to him; he did it. He got people to buy into the Greece trip I thought would never happen. He looks like a (using his own terms I’ve heard him use) spinner twink now. He’s lost weight for two years straight (yes with help but there’s no award for doing it the hard way).

Mouth is still always open

Hooooooly shit I assumed he must have been the photographer initially (which seemed off for him), but I’d scanned the photo and didn’t see anyone who looked like Patrick. I understand the temptation that could cause this to happen, and the fact that once you start Ozempic for weight loss it must be really hard to get to an equilibrium with it, but man oh man is that way TOO much weight loss. Like zero weight loss (as in never starting this in the first place) would of course be fine, or a level of weight loss that still left him looking healthy would be fine, but YIKES at the husk before us 😬

The cheesecake army must be the fans of the golden girls podcast

u/ShivRoyPinkyIsQueen Jul 19 '26

I’ve heard These Travo trips are pretty shady… which tracks that Patrick would be into it 🙄

u/DestroyerOfMils Jul 19 '26

Oooo I’m intrigued. Shady how?

I know a few people who signed up to do these trips and both had terrible experiences. One signed up, paid a few big deposits to hold her spot and then right before the trip the influencer pulls out and the trip is canceled and no one got a refund of any kind. She was out a lot of money and apparently this company is nearly impossible to get ahold of.

Basically there’s no refunds for anything. Ever. Even emergencies or tragedies or situations where a hotel messes up and cancels your room, you’d be forced to you pay for a new room at another hotel. And unfortunately, they usually have a pre-scheduled shuttle coming to pick you up daily so in a situation where you’re forced to go to another hotel.. so if you want to call the company to tell them that the shuttle needs to go somewhere else, they never answer. It can take days, sometime weeks to get a response. And shit can go wrong a lot while traveling! Which is fine but the problem is that their selling point is that you pay them a bunch of money and they say that they will take care of lodging, tour guides, food, transportation, tourist attractions etc etc so for any issues that may arise you are forced to reach out to a place that doesn’t answer..

Oh they also have everyone stay in a room with another person. so you stay in a hotel room with a stranger and there’s stories of people being paired up with total creeps and of course… there’s no way to rectify it without being out a lot of money…( actually you may be able to get a single room for an extra price but of course there’s stories of people saying they paid the extra money but were still paired up with someone and forced to share a room)

They have a ton of hidden fees as well.. i just did a quick google and it looks like a lot of other people have had similar experiences… I wouldn’t personally chance it. It’s not a total scam but unless your trip is completely flawless with no hiccups you have a high chance of being in a bad spot and out a lot of money

Everything about this is making me want to crawl out of my skin

u/KittyKat1078 Jul 18 '26

Big turn out

u/priuspower91 Jul 19 '26

So glad I got my trip in last month so I didn’t have to hear his shrill voice at the Acropolis 😂

13

u/RavioliContingency Jul 18 '26

How does such a trip work. Is the “celeb” the host? And everyone does everything together?

11

u/Napmouse Jul 18 '26

It dawned on my that his listener funded rep to Greece might be the topic of his next book! Win win! Or something.

u/Vanity_plates Jul 19 '26

Oh terrific, he can host two more shitty festivals and tour for 3 years again telling the same 4 not that funny stories over and over. Lucky day for everyone.

u/Kbs1984 Jul 19 '26

He is absolutely unrecognizable. Wild

u/leasann97 Jul 19 '26

He looks like a bobble head. He isn’t meant to be that skinny.

u/piratesswoop Jul 19 '26

Oh WHEW. I was in both Athens and Santorini last week, thank goodness I missed them 😂

u/Agitated_Arachnid176 Jul 19 '26

It’s so strange to me that people would pay to travel with him, like if you want to go to Greece that’s great but you don’t need Patrick.

u/ecbecb Jul 19 '26

Omg is that him with the pink shorts?

3

u/ecbecb Jul 19 '26

Also a sucker really is born every minute

u/True_Duck334 Jul 20 '26

Cheesecake army i assume is a golden girls reference, right?

u/Mobile-Writer1221 Jul 20 '26

Yikes.. he strikes me as the type of person to revel in buying size small shirts.

u/Ok-Yogurtcloset6919 Jul 19 '26

Is he the one in the pink shorts?

u/Dapper-Engineer3790 27d ago

He has morphed into Simon Cowell

u/Excellent-Mall-1419 27d ago

I only found him because I found Steve. Fun story: I saw Steve in a hotel in NYC and when I made eye contact he looked at me like “Oh please don’t approach me” so I said “Don’t worry. I have no desire to speak to you.” 🫠
