Bumbling Brothers

[mmoon-23763 · 7/10 · 17 June 2019]

Interesting episode, I actually feel kind of sorry for the twins. They are good natured but apparently had no clue what they were getting into by buying a restaurant. One of them was even talking about having free pizza in the beginning of the episode, so apparently they didn't even realize that if they owned the restaurant, the price of the pizza would be out of their pocket?

I don't know if it was just acting for the show, or if they were honestly clueless. Anytime Gordon said anything to them, they just stared at him with no expression.

Still a pretty good episode.

Dumpy Italian Restaurant Run By Weirdos

[Johnny_West · 1/10 · 29 April 2017]

Jim Thiel and his twin brother have been on a few reality shows acting as total weirdos. They run some dumpy little restaurant as their main gig. Capri is a tiny place, the size of a pizza pick-up location. The restaurant has about eight tables crammed into their small dirty storefront, and they manage to have trouble cooking and serving a handful of customers.

Based on what the brothers said, their rent is $1500 a month, which is incredibly low rent for that shopping center space. Yet the brothers cannot crack that nut. They also never show up before the afternoon, and they put zero effort into their restaurant. They are in their forties, but they act like hard-core pot-heads still reading comic books. I would have felt better about this episode if Ramsay had just closed them down and told them to apply for disability.
