I'm not sure what his first name is, but he's on a road trip for the Food Network on cable. I couldn't sleep so I flipped through the channels about 3 this morning, and this machine spitting out peanut butter into a bucket caught my attention so I watched for a while...and I really enjoyed it.
The host, while I've forgotten his name, was too neat. He went into a few factories where different peanut butter products are made, he participated in taste tests, chuckin' peanuts, etc, and all the while, his eyes were sparkling with good humor, he was having a blast doing these things...I can honestly say he was the most upbeat person I've seen in a long time.
He was bubbling with enthusiasm, exclaiming how GOOD this peanut butter tasted as compared to the other (which to him tasted good too, but...) He got on a tractor on a peanut farm and helped them harvest their peanuts, he got down in the dirt, plucked a nut from the hill and ate it raw, right there, and the delight on his face looked to me, truly genuine. That man was enjoying the hell out of what he was doing.
I don't know if I liked the peanut documentary best, or watching the pleasure Mr. O'Connor got from doing the documentary. In any case, if you like things like that, give it a look, it was pretty neat. :)
