Why he might be annoying:

    He admitted to entering college, which he dropped out of after three years, to go into political science.
    Just imagine a six two Gilbert Gottfried at a hundred pounds more and with deeper pipes.
    Three years into his first bar management job, he achieved full control of the bar — amid heavy employee theft!
    For his first business partnership, in the 1980s, he disregarded a friend’s warnings about doing business with a cheating family man — and got swindled out of his every last penny!
    He refers to himself as the creator, not the inventor, of the NFL Sunday Ticket.

Why he might not be annoying:

    Born into a line of entrepreneurs, he came by his business – and public speaking – skills honestly rather than formally.
    While he did major in political science at the University of Denver, he expressed no remorse about not actually going into politics.

    His one daughter – from a previous marriage – would become a name in the liquor industry in her own right.
    To address the post-COVID-19 landscape – in which more than half of the continent’s bars and independent restaurants were projected to permanently close their doors – he launched the Resetting America project.
