In the recent episode, 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?, Mike Youngquist wore a sweatband on his head with his hair sticking up and fans of the show think he resembles Michael ‘Mikey’ Blumberg from the popular 90’s cartoon series Recess. 90 Day Fiancé fans are known for their ruthlessness when it comes to roasting the cast, and this comparison is a fine example of that.

Mike works out after massive fight with Natalie on ’90 Day Fiancé’

Mike has had quite the week dealing with the drama in his relationship with Natalie Mordovtseva. On the July 16th episode of 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?, it has been a week since Natalie’s nose surgery to help with her breathing issues. While her health issues might be better, the relationship between the couple is as toxic as ever.

After Natalie left and ghosted Mike after their fight and drove herself to her surgery appointment, the couple has been home focusing on Natalie’s healing and avoiding the tough conversations. Natalie’s nose is nearly healed in the recent episode after a week, and she’s ready to start working out with Mike again. After their tire pushing exercise, Mike uses the opportunity to talk to Natalie about how he felt being abandoned and ghosted by her.

As soon as the episode aired, 90 Day Fiancé fans went to social media with their memes comparing Mike’s hair and workout outfit with the Recess character, Mikey.
