GunSmoke in deep shit.

The show itself was largely staged. Like the majority of the shows on Discovery, these days are staged to some degree.

I know people that really like the guy. I have had 5 different conversations with the man. Two of them were really positive, three of them caused me to wonder what planet he lived on.

the reality is the lines of fact and fiction have been so blurred with the guy, and so many people have had completely different expereinces with him, it makes you wonder if he has some sort of personality disorder

This sounds exactly like a guy I went to college with, back east. He's actually quite smart, but is a habitual exaggerator, if it's not an outright lie. His first impression is always positive to folks who just meet him, so he actually does get some interesting opportunities quite often, but he can never make much out of them because of oral diarrhea. It's always just a matter of time with people like that... I'm certain my old classmate has a personality disorder. Absolutely positive.
