There’s no chemistry like the AD / SD chemistry. Mike Maughan pales in comparison and while I’m sure he’s a nice guy he just doesn’t bring the same spark.

The content is usually pretty good, but the delivery needs some work. There’s a hint of arrogance in many things that they say. Some episodes just feel like a “show-off” session in which the hosts attempt to indicate to the audience just how great they are. This is often subtle, but absolutely deliberate.

Great dynamic. Good topics and informative with personality.
Show was good when Stephen D was on it.
Now it’s just reruns.
