For family therapy, have a parent or sibling stock your fridge full of old veg and a tray of cooked and uncooked meat and watch as Gordon shouts all your problems away.
I didn't want to link direct because maybe some of you may prefer not to watch as it could take you back to a traumatic time but this is the video I mean

I couldn't even imagine putting up with his mum. When she just constantly keeps asking him 'what do you want???' and then even keeps asking it again after he told her. I hope that dude has managed to get away from them somewhat to sort out his own life, I just felt bad for him watching this.
Edit: here's another clip from the same episode, where gordon brings in lots of people who left a review on yelp because the owners thought the reviews were fake and yelp had some kind of conspiracy against his restaurant: (fixed link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPd9lDE06ps ) The way his mum acts all childish doing obviously fake yawns then pretending to be asleep is just the kind of dumb shit my mum would pull...
There were no cameras. No crew. Just Gordon Ramsay, stepping into a restaurant at random, tired and hungry.
No one really knew why Gordon Ramsay chose this particular restaurant. An errant turn at the previous road? A misstep while on a stroll? Divine intervention? Not one person knew.
Yet, for Stefano Raffaele, owner, chef, sous chef, and maître d of the restaurant Osteria Dei Mascalzoni, it was a very big problem.
He recognised Gordon Ramsay, of course. He's seen enough television and YouTube has recommended them to him many times while he was doing his actual job: laundering money. Stefano wasn't a very talented cook, but even a mobster has interests.
Stefano was wiping down a plate when he saw Gordon Ramsay walk in, silently, sinking into a seat. For a still minute, neither man moved.
It was the famous chef that raised his head. His face was tired, even more wrinkly than usual, if possible. His eyes were still sharp, however, and looked right at Stefano, who has been vigorously wiping the same plate for a long minute.
"I beg your pardon, is this how you run a business? Could I please have a menu?"
That sharp tongue. Not quite veering into anger just yet, but Stefano had watched enough videos to know what was going to happen next. Hastily, he put back the plate he had in his hands, grabbing the nearest, dirty menu that he had, and nervously traipsed towards Chef Ramsay.
"Er, Signore Ramsay, we are closed," Stefano said. He then looked stupidly in the menu in his hand. Wait. This wasn't going as planned.
Gordon Ramsay sighed. He pushed the chair out, and was prepared to trudge back towards the door, but Stefano found himself shouting out.
"Wait!"
Ramsay turned back, his eyebrows raised. There was no need for words from this man to know that he was very crudely asking: "What the fuck?"
"Signore Ramsay... I have special menu. I can make something for you before you leave. You look very tired so come, come, come sit," Stefano gestured towards the table. He sat him down before rushing off into the kitchen.
As mentioned, Stefano Raffaele was a damn good money launderer. He might not be as talented a chef, but he's made his own meals more than once in this lonely abode. He opened the fridge, scanning the ingredients that he had, before getting to work.
Gordon Ramsay's stomach rumbled. He wasn't sure what he was doing in a dingy place like this. It had all gone so wrong. He was supposed to be in a nice hotel bed, gorging on caviar and sipping wine

Yesterday I was watching Kitchen Nightmares, starring Gordon Ramsay, on the TV and a funny little thought came to mind.
Wouldn't it be great if there was a similar format, but instead of going through the awful restaurants and their management, he would go through the IT-departments of struggling businesses.
Situations could go along the lines of:
Gordon: What Firewalls you use?
Sysadmin: We have Windows defender on all computers
Gordon: You don’t even care do you?!
Or possibly something along the lines of:
Gordon: WHAT IS THAT?!
Sysadmin: It's our production server, sir
Gordon: WHAT OS IS THAT?!
Sysadmin: Small business server 2003, sir
Gordon: SMALL BUSINESS SERVER 2003?! IT'S 2019 FOR FUCK SAKE!
I think most of us who have more than a few years of experience in the field can agree when I say that there is some shit to be seen. We all know that somewhere out there, in the darkest corners of the earth, there's still that one legacy server that everyone has forgotten about...just waiting to go off...
Share your thoughts, would your company pass through Gordon's fine tooth comb?
Does it have anything to do with the Japanese occupation of Korea?
