Jon has spoken a few times about his first marriage and divorce, it sounded like a really sad painful situation with his daughter caught in the middle of it. Good for him for showing Michelle and Kevin the road NOT to go down as married business owners!

[@rodsmith8118]

Their business ended up closing in November 2013 (two months after the episode originally aired). I wonder if they're still married now.

[@mr.futurestrader2115]

Yea johns wife was really pretty too. It rips people apart mentally. At the end of the day you probably don’t even want to be next to each other

[@snappingbrute02]

That was one of the most wholesome things I've seen on bar rescue. Good in him for sucking up his pride for his marriage I hope they're still together

[@evannlorman7926]

You've nwver seenbthw episode. Those two bumble fucks fucked Jerry. Dude got burnt out. He's was pisses because they set him up that night as the fall guy. He was their constantly opening up than going to close. While they were never there, they didn't know shit to dick the next day. He made those choices because they were never around and didn't pull their weight. They couldn't run shit. The next day John kinda figures it out(but the editing kinda glosses over this). His remarks about them aren't far enough from the truth.

[@lesliesackey2012]

I wanna say that the recon girls who only has $5 were absolutely amazing. They understood their assignment 100% and in normal circumstances it would be immoral but these girls did what they had to do.

I can only imagine how savage him teaming up with Chef Gordon Ramsey would be. Likely would leave people in tears.

He did it so the rent could be paid. The foolishness of that decision is staggering.

If you did that, you'd be more drunk than him. You'd also probably die of alcohol poisoning.

[@kristenkinnan4943]

Hahah the guy that almost dropped his phone @3:52

I feel like far too many owners need to do hostile takeovers more so because of how awful customer services have become everywhere.

[@midnightlupin1]

Rob in the first clip should've been a walkout for John to be honest. He should have just let the bastard fail

[@Thespian821]

Agreed; cuz in a BTTB episode, the followed up on him & only proved to be a bigger drunken fool more than he was in the beginning (his partners deserted him, he changed the food menu back & lost even more money). Sometimes failure is the only way people learn anything in life; and even then, they still don’t learn anything from it.

[@midnightlupin1]

​@@Thespian821oh I saw that. The disrespectful bastard deserves all the misery in the world at this point

The third guy in the episode stepped up & proved himself

[@3xplisit]

I love how that guys only defense was “cmon man I’m having a good time” lmfaoooo

[@motodog242]

It’s honestly all for show. Jerry is a stand-up dude by the next 5 minutes in that episode, while his partners are complete dumbasses who have no idea what they’re doing. It was very clear why Jerry was drunk, dude is stuck with idiot partners and just drowning the ship because no matter what he does, his partners were anchoring him to their incompetence.

[@ThePrimeMinisterOfTheBlock]

Yeeees learning all sorts of new words today. 'fiduciary responsibility'

What happened to them?

[@angelbulldog4934]

NEVER would I put my house or any other personal property on the line to open any business.

[@GlutenFree-e]

First guy did what my dad does BUT in a much much different way. Sits above the bar on a balcony and greets majority of people who walk in, he usually drinks 3-4 beers while up there. Also if the bar is doing good and people are buying pizzas. He goes down and gives everyone a shot, our bar can hold about 30 people but usually has about 10

[@georgeray1906]

Sounds like your dad was a sensible and responsible bar owner.

[@thatguywithahat7340]

I feel like when John Taffer talked to the owners of Marley's that was the most down to earth and real we got to see of him. He didn’t want their relationship to fall due to a business partnership like his first marriage did. That’s a really respectable thing he did there

[@HeyhoBrando]

If I remember right with Jason, the next day he did work his ass off the other two didn’t know or couldn’t do shit, so they claimed theg were failing because of him…but thier inaction also allowed them to fail

"I'm gonna come back and rob the place" I know he's drunk, but he literally just openly admitted to wanting to commit a crime on live TV. But hey, at least we have evidence if he actually went through with it.

[@achaudhari101]

The sad part is that all of these businesses closed. Silent Partners for absolutely nothing.

[@Matt-cr4vv]

The risk you’re taking when you invest your money without any control of the business. If you want your investment back you need to be able to control the business otherwise you can’t be surprised if you lose the investment. The buck has to stop with someone

[@Matt-cr4vv]

If a business needs to bring you in as a silent partner to begin with that’s a pretty noticeable red flag that it’s a bad idea to invest in it. If the business was booming the owners wouldn’t need to give someone equity for money into the business because whatever plans they have could be done through their retained earnings or a loan based off of the business performance. If they can’t accomplish that after the business has been operating for some period of time then that’s a sign that the business isn’t doing well and you’re taking a big risk to invest. And maybe the business has potential to be attractive to invest in but if it’s that stage you shouldn’t do it without control otherwise you’re just flushing the money

[@cartuneslover18]

I wonder if there can be a Jon Taffer for the medical field. You have no idea how many shitty ALERT patients with their moms and baby mommas got to be dealt with (especially in my work).

[@lucas_vermeire]

That would be wonderful, to have someone like that

[@masonasher9689]

Idk if we could get someone like that for the medical field, also you cant just destroy it throw things in hospitals in a fit of rage (Jon Taffer being known to throw things and break shit when pissed off) bc of the needles and glass, not to mention how careful you'd have to be around injured patients, etc etc etc

Rob pulled a Euphoria Rue. Got an investor then used all the drugs

[@kevinmurphy650]

Jhon is the real g

[@carmensandiego328]

That guy in the beginning, making an ass out of himself, and getting drunk shows how incredibly stupid and irresponsible he was not to mention he attacks and assaulted one of his partners. Disappointed, disappointed disappointed that is the only word I have for that situation he has disgraced himself and his bar as well. Real managers and owners do not lay on the bar table and pour beer all over their fat fucking belly or hang from the ceiling, like a monkey they act professional with kindness and respect. I may be no expert like Jon Taffer, but that’s how I see how things like that are supposed to be in life.

You can tell that wife and husband is on track for divorce if his wife is demanding he be silent partner. She did that so when they divorce, she can prove that she’s the only one who’s ever done anything to help that bar

[@effend446]

Jerry ended up getting the “last laugh” when he came back the next day as a reasonable partner for stress test. He certainly held his own in BOH cooking while Dave and Steve struggled in FOH with the orders. Needless to say that Jerry proved Jon Taffer wrong and he got his keys back.
