What really strikes me though when I watch it is that George is just a damn good interviewer. When you take away all the music, funky set, etc that's what it all comes down too. It's clear that he can do the job and is supported by a good crew.

Magpie isn't terribly fond of our two heroes? The funny thing is that despite the cute premise of the piece George is honestly one of the smartest guys working to do something different on Mothercorp TV and Jian isn't nearly as irritating as I first tended to think. Q has turned out to be pretty solid and when compared with the atrocity that was 'Freestyle' strides like a titan across the airwaves. I've heard better interviews on the Strombeshi shows in the last year than pretty much anything coming from *other* networks. So wait…let me guess. Magpie isn’t terribly fond of our two heroes?

Perhaps that's how black holes are born (what with all that suckage in one room and all).
