It is the complete opposite of what I was studying and what I eventually got into, but I genuinely loved making the arrangements and setting up venues.
You ended up being present for so many important milestones in other people's lives and it was a genuinely wholesome job that gave me great pleasure.

Which is why I said I knew I was taking it further than others, but also that it's totally okay to just bounce off of someone else's personality for whatever reason! Voicing my clearly unpopular opinion is still good though and I appreciate everyone who made a comment.
If others enjoy him, then I'm okay with that, I just don't need to watch :)

I think it's maybe that instead of feeling brought along with his analysis of various subjects, the information feels handed down in his voice and word choice?
Again, these are my reflections and I only mentioned that personally I don't mesh with his persona. I'm not looking to be convinced otherwise. Unless I meet him in person to have my mind changed, I suspect this will remain.

It's like he has an attitude that his world view/intelligence is superior to others and that he is deigning to gift us with special knowledge. I am likely taking this slightly further than anyone else feels, but I get a weird vibe that his main motive isn't educating others, it's making sure you know he knew the information first?
His time on jet lag was unbearable, I couldn't watch it.

Weddings, funerals, celebrations, graduations, etc
There is still an enormous amount of daily arrangements though. For example, we did arrangements for hospitals, rest homes, and local businesses in their waiting rooms. Not to mention people who just walked in asking for flowers for their partners. We had an older man who came and picked his own flowers for his wife every week.
