Last year I saw an episode where he and a "friend" went offshore fishing. Tred was an overbearing, no-it-all jerk the whole time. All I could do was sit there and think "who in the hell would be his friend if he treated everyone like that" . At the end of the episode, the friends defends Tred by saying "that's just the way he is". If any of my friends talked to me like that, they would probably need a new hunting buddy or at least a boot removed from their @ss.
