I know he got DUI shortly after the taping... how sad.
Meats response about basically beating a dead horse over and over was even sadder. Unfortunately, I know ALL to well what that feels like...but I did notice...there were NO MORE posts about it after THAT...and I can't help but wonder if there is an ENTIRE ML collection for sale on e-bay now!  It was ridiculous to keep rehashing something that we don't even know the facts about....STILL.
I think it will be next episode when Meat is project leader. Pressure. Sometimes us humans tend to lose our tempers under pressure...and then we regret it. I've seen a clip where Meat is upset and remorseful.
Gary is, to say the least, a little off. I read somewhere he had an accident and suffered a brain injury. I work with traumatic brain injury patients on a daily basis...it certainly has an effect on personality...which is why I'm quite certain that may be the reason Meat felt bad afterward...or just simply because he's HUMAN. I've lashed out at my CHILDREN...am I proud to admit that?? Hell NO. Do I wish I could magically erase some things I've said or done under pressure? You bet. I can't. Meat can't. As far as I know....NO-ONE can.
I thought the show was GREAT...I can't wait to see next week, I think it will finally give us answers & insight to this Meat/Gary saga...and CLOSURE. Move on...can't change the past, live in the present, and look forward to the FUTURE.
I know I'm just a rookie here...but I also know the focus of this show should be the FACT that Meat did this for a GREAT Charity, I believe the SAME charity he did DFTL for...the painted turtle. Not all Celeb's WORK for charity. I saw the show...Meat WORKED.
WTG Meat!!! & Congrats on the news of Pearl & Ian!

Way to go Karen! YOu said everything perfectly. Your info about working with people with brain injuries has given some insight into Gary Busey. Donald Trump has said that Gary is a very intelligent man.
I agree that, yes, we all lash out @ sometime and are never proud of it. Meat is an intense, passionate emotional person. It seems that he shows all of those very human traits on the show.
I can't wait for next week when he is Project Manager. I am pretty sure that his team wins - am hoping anyway. He said that he won alot of money for his wonderful charity The Painted Turtle, the same one that he played for on Don't Forget The Lyrics. In order for your charity to win money, your team has to win and you have to be the P.M. for that task.
Go Meat.
