    Undercover Boss Season Finale Recap: Epic Bosses on Leadership & Self-Respect

    Undercover Boss caps its fourth season by featuring the most memorable executives who have appeared in the show. This time, the bosses will be revealing how their outlook in life and managing a multi-million (others in the billion scale) business have changed after their covert stint. Who among the countless honchos made it to the “epic bosses” list? When it comes to awkward and very disconcerting situations, Coby Brooks, Rick Silva and Rick Tigner win this category hands down. Coby Brooks is the very guy who witnessed a Hooters’ employee (Jimbo) egging his women to finish off dishes of beans…

    Rock Center with Brian Williams Recap: 911 Operator on Deanna Cook Tragedy

    Rock Center with Brian Williams starts with a report on the circumstances and controversy surrounding the death of 32-year old Deanna Cook. To the Dallas police, this is just another statistic of domestic violence but to Deanna’s family and all the people who hav heard her 911 call, this is a case of wrongful death resulting to the police’s failure to immediately respond: from 911 operator Tonyita Hopkins, to the dispatch up to the officers who responded after an hour. Deanna’s mother and sisters reveal how the police refused to provide the audio recording of the victim’s 911 call while…

    Shark Tank Season Finale Recap: Triumphant Military Women, 11 Year-old & Beagle

    Shark Tank’s two-episode finale has Lori Greiner and Barbara Corcoran appearing, albeit separately. Nevertheless, the entrepreneurs presenting their business plans are equally interesting, especially when two military women and an 11-year old kid with his beagle close their deals to expand their budding operations. The first hour features two successful transactions led by Robert Gifford, a self-proclaimed geek who manufactures multi-purpose furniture. Geek Chic is designed to meet every geek’s need to marry hobbies and work with just one piece of furniture. Robert’s ride in the show starts shaky with Kevin O’Leary insisting that the furniture industry in America is…

    Dr. Oz: The Purple Food Diet & Whey Protein Powder for Losing Weight (5/17/13)

    Today on The Dr. Oz Show, it’s another one of those episodes again where America’s wackiest health trends (and questions) like the Purple Diet and fecal transplants, are the main focus of the show. Plus, Dr. Oz talks about protein overdose. Maybe you’re a weight lifter or are on a protein-centric diet, could you be taking in too much protein for your own good? We’ll find out today in the live recap below. The Purple Food Diet. It’s one of the latest diet crazes taking over the country. Packed with plenty of anti-oxidants and anti-cancer agents, purple foods are also…

    WWE Extreme Rules 2013 Predictions

    I have a question for people working in the creative side of advertising: is a pretty high leap of logic, like calling WWE Extreme Rules the “one night the WWE goes extreme,” allowed when you’re selling a product? Advertising is a business that is basically bankrolled by B.S., but there’s gotta be a line drawn somewhere as to which tripe is truly unbelievable on its face. Because as much as the WWE would like to claim that they go extreme in only one evening of the year, we’ve got Elimination Chamber, we’ve got Hell in a Cell, we’ve got Money in…

Shark Tank Recap: Risky Business Plans, KaZam’s Appeal & Pink Photo Booths

May 10, 2013

Risky business plans take the spotlight in Shark Tank, the ones that most investors avoid. By far, this is the most interesting show primarily for the way the sharks quickly articulate and calculate the medium and long-term impacts of such risks. We also see a visibly irate Barbara Corcoran when Mark Cuban tries to undermine her offer, something which can be described as nothing short of sneaky and snarky. Let’s start with Erica Cohen and Lori Barbera, the owners of Baby’s Badass Burgers. Both women are currently operating a profitable gourmet burger truck business in Los Angeles. Erica and Lori’s…

Undercover Boss Recap: Updates on Epic and Controversial Employees

May 10, 2013

Undercover Boss turns the table around as it features the “epic” employees who have appeared in the show since it premiered in 2010. It’s got everything: from the classic hard-working people who have been rewarded for their loyalty and perseverance to the ones who infuriated the executives. For the employees who finally rose up the ranks, the general sentiment is that moving up means endless possibilities.  7-Eleven’s Igor is now doing well with his own franchise and so is Marques who has progressed to being the 100% sole owner of a Philly Pretzel Factory store. Marques is the epitome of a…

It’s All About the Attitude: WWE ’13 Review

Yuke’s and THQ released last week the latest game from the WWE video game franchise, WWE ‘13. After playing with my own copy of the game for a good 12-14 hours, I realized that the one word that can describe the game has got to be attitude. From the WWE’s top villain, WWE Champion CM Punk being on the cover, to “The Baddest Man on the Planet” Mike Tyson being a playable character, to the entire Attitude Era game mode, WWE ‘13 is all about attitude. What’s New The Attitude Era takes the spotlight in this year’s game and takes…

More of Everything: A Resident Evil 6 Review

More of Everything: A Resident Evil 6 Review

And I mean more. Capcom’s latest release in the title series promised us old-school zombies and a lot of nostalgic material along with brand new content in the RE storyline in 3 different campaigns (and another one after you finish those). But when you think about that statement, it may seem a lot to put in just one title. That’s exactly how playing through Resident Evil 6 will make you feel. I liken it to a kid given the freedom to put whatever toppings he wants on his flavored yogurt, regardless of whether the combinations taste good or not. But…

WWE 13 - The Revolution Is Here

WWE 13: The Revolution Is Here

I’m gonna go out on a limb right now and make a sweeping declaration: you have yet to play a WWE game with this much Attitude in your life so far. Well, you could say you’ve played No Mercy or all the other games that actually came out back then in the Attitude Era, but you haven’t seen a game like this before. Why all the Attitude talk, you ask? Because that’s what this year’s wrestling video game offering, WWE ’13, is all about. It’s gonna be all about the Attitude Era, and you get to be smack dab in the middle…

The Walking Dead Video Game: Episode 3 Recap

As promised, Telltale has released “Long Road Ahead”, the 3rd of 5 episodes in The Walking Dead Video Game before August ended. I am telling you now that decisions have definitely become harder to make and trust doesn’t come cheap. If you want to refresh your memory, take a moment to read on Episode 1 and 2 here. The game starts off with Lee and Kenny back in Macon to gather supplies from the pharmacy. A shrill cry by the end of the street stirs up the walkers. A girl has been hiding in one of the buildings but has…
