There's an awesome Smarter Every Day video where he talks to a marine biologist stationed with Steve and it's one of the best interviews ever.
We all looked at Steve as a funny moron. Glad you won the bet haha.
Link to the video in case you haven't seen it and might be interested.

I don't agree with Steve or this man. Steve was a show boater and all I got from his shows was how he disrespected wild animals and set a horrible example. I love nature shows and highly value wild animals for many reasons.
The worst thing you can do with a wild animal is get too close, stress them or invade their space. Making a show out of doing just that pissed me off so much I refused to watch after a few episodes. I was actually hoping he would fuck up really badly just to end the stupidity. "I'm a trained professional" really pissed me off. Really? Trained by whom? Your dad? Professional show boater that got himself killed.
