The Greatest Showman plans on having a giant “I’m Quitting” parade that will include a Gio Prism float and live performances from Beyonce and Jay-Z.Pete, the consummate gentleman, is always looking to improve as a husband, family man, and overall nice guy.

The long list includes: leaving more than just the sushi tails, not referring to her as his assistant, and maybe not double pantsing her in front of the family.📺 #180 - S03E08🍷 Special Guest: Pete Malleo, @petemalleo🤲 Community Cause of the Week: Okizu, http://okizu.org/⚾️ Sponsor of the Day: Sports Authority
