Reading your post I remembered seeing it in the news about two years ago when they came to Tulsa. The whole show was completely staged on a road they had paid to close for 15 hours. Local ambulance and off duty cops were paid to be on scene, and anyone outside the production crew was told they'd be arrested if they loitered in the area.
Bad show that just inspires stupidity.
