Recap: Scott Baio is 45...and Single: I believe the children are our future - 
by Dr. McSteeny
This week on Scott Baio is 45 and Single, Scott meets up with an attractive, southern 17 year girl in a skirt, and he doesn't even try to seduce her in any way. For a guy like Scott Baio, typically this constitutes somewhat of an accomplishment. It's like Whitney Houston turning down free cocaine. Actually, we can't give Scott that much credit, because the 17-year-old southerner was his girlfriend's daughter. And unless you're Woody Allen, such a relationship automatically muffles any impending desires. So it's more like Whitney Houston turning down dirty cocaine. Plus, Scott's into blondes and the daughter was a brunette. So really it's like Whitney turning down a sandwich. Big whoop.
When it comes to train wrecks like Whitney Houston and Scott Baio, even the smallest step towards acting like a human being deserves recognition. Congratulations Scott Baio! You didn't nail your soon to be daughter-in-law. Oh yeah, and you're still 45... and Single.
Whit, would you like a nice salad for lunch? OH HELL TO THE NO!
Much like Eddie Murphy's day to day life, this week was all about potential children. The episode opens with Renee calling Scott and asking if he'd be willing to meet her seventeen-year-old daughter who is in town from Tennessee. Now, they didn't mention how old Renee was when she had the baby, whether or not statutory rape charges were filed, why her daughter is living in Tennessee, or who her daughter is living with instead of living with her own mama, but logic suggests that the answers are: too young, prolly not, that's where Renee is from, and her dad. I, of course, have a more detailed suggestion. Allow me to elaborate...
My very prominent medical degree, plus subtle psychic powers, lead me to believe the daughter's dad is Renee's high school boyfriend and a former football player named Randall (3 out of 5 people in Tennessee are named Randall. Look it up). Randy used to be Renee's ticket out of town. When she got pregnant, Renee decided to keep the baby, imagining a wonderful life as Mrs. Randall, in a big house, with a fancy car and brand new dungarees, or whatever southern people dream of as fancy clothes; The wife of a pro football player. That is, until Randy tore his ACL, lost his scholarship to UT, bought a dog, named him Anheiser, and woke up one day on a liquid diet. That's when Renee had the baby, packed up the pickup, and left town to start a new life.
I realize that sounds like a cross between Friday Night Lights and Sweet Home Alabama. I clearly watch too much TV, and seem to have tendencies towards stereotyping Southerners, but hey, this is my recap. Bias is allowed here. Prove me wrong if you want. I'm just sayin'... I saw the kid. She's a good girl, but she totally grew up alone on a tire swing.
Scott brings up the whole meeting Renee's daughter thing in his session with Doc Ali. Doc thinks meeting Renee's daughter is a great idea. Just don't sleep with her. Or one of her friends. Or ask her to smoke blunts. Doc is just surprised that Scott has NEVER met Renee's daughter before, despite having dated Renee for so long. Jeez Doc. What do gigolos look like where you live? This is Womanizer 101. Don't stay long enough to smell breakfast, and don't meet family members. These are staples in the Womanizer Handbook. They come right after the chapters called "text message only," "my phone was dead," and "how to make her insecurities work in your favor."
Before Scott can meet Renee's daughter, Doc Ali wants Scott to meet one of his exes who has children. Enter Sheila, from Penthouse. I don't know what Scott did to Sheila, but she's hellapissed. She tells him to meet her at her gym, makes him wait 20 minutes for her, and then when she finally comes out to see him she tells him he has 5 minutes. I've never met the woman, and I was terrified of her. I can only imagine what Scott was feeling.
No wonder he doesn't like brunettes.
