Specifically, I remember him talking about how the masses don't really take Al seriously, but people in the music industry do and he deserves the praise. He talked about how it's a right of passage or an honor for Al to parody you, as well as how he's "one hell of a businessman" for selling over 12 million albums.
I just saw this episode on Dutch TV .

Bumping a super old topic to remark I was in Vegas last week and checked out the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop where the show is filmed. Surprisingly, they actually had barsmart's book in one of the glass cases with a "Seen on Pawn Stars" sticker next to it. Their selling price? $800. (It was right next to a $2000 William Faulkner signature.) Just thought I'd share the update. :)

Most of the stuff bought on the show is still in the store because they want too much money

Sad news. Tino Insana who cowrote the book with Al passed away yesterday. He was 69.
