Something new and interesting

One episode in and I’m hooked.

Sarahtress ,

Look at us! We’re hanging out in “Hollywood”!

Majority of the first episode is about how cool the host(s) are followed by them being super-fanboy-excited to be at an office in LA. And then pumping up these Hwood types by bragging about their workout routine? Get on with it already, you personally are not that interesting. Do your job as a journalist and stop shining the light on yourself.

Great Channel, Great Story!

Finding interesting subject matter is what makes this channel so great, that and the narrator does a great job. Fascinating.
