Mad Cactus Owner Can Finally Talk About TV Makeover

Makeover this August.

Here's how it happened: Producers had Krukemeyer and Irvine walk to their places to be introduced on-camera. 

But the director changed his mind and asked them to switch places.

Irvine went ballistic, Krukemeyer said, calling the director names. Then he demanded his coffee, even though it was sitting on a table a few feet away.  

"He actually waited till the producer came and picked up his coffee for him," Krukemeyer said.

After the scene, Krukemeyer went to the kitchen, where his anxious staff was waiting to hear how it went.

"I said, 'we're in big trouble. This guy is a jerk,'" Krukemeyer recalled.

Then he realized his microphone was still on.

Oops.

"Robert came flying out of the production trailer," Krukemeyer said, grinning. "He got right in my face, screaming."

That's why he was stunned when the show aired Nov. 2 and Irvine offered only mild criticism of the Mad Cactus.
