Maybe he has changed. I watched some of his programs a few years ago and
found him to be profane and abusive. He reminded me of a situation I
encountered many years ago when I helped out some friends who had opened
up a restaurant. A bunch of us were helping out and were working her and
there for free because we were good friends with one of them. The
other.... was a little harder to deal with. I was helping out in the
kitchen one night and he came n ranting and raving and carrying on
abusively. I didn't have to quit because I wasn't getting paid anyway,
but I walked out then and there.

It is really nothing more than a sort of "reality" show. They had
incredible losers they were dealing with. They must have gone out of
their way to find such bad operations, or else it was totally fictitious.
