“Home Town� is a home renovation show imported from HGTV to Max where Erik and I watch three episodes a night. Ben and Erin, the hosts, are married to each other and at the end of season five, Erin is pregnant with their second child. She is tiny and thin, and Ben is at least six five and weighed 300 pounds, until he went on a diet.
