I'll have to say the shows are getting better. I like the new intro. I'll have to say I have been a fan of Zvi and his decks, but this is the first time I have ever seen or heard from him. I will also say he annoyed me like some 12 year old teenager. I actually fastforwarded through his interview. It was annoying. He talks too fast and doesn't really announciate all his words. And at times I felt like he was just going on about some random Magic babble. A few times I noticed trick putting his hand up. From what I could gather is he was trying to get Zvi to look in the camera, but it looked Trick was trying to block a kick or something. LOL. He kind of reminded me of an Idiot Savant for Magic. I was waiting for him to say "I Get my underwear from K-mart"
Great job on Tricks side.

The raised hand was me trying to stop people from walking in front of the camera.
Zvi is an experience to talk to, it was initially only going to be a few minutes wrap up after three rounds and it went off into a 10 minute rollercoaster of Magic theory.

I totally agree with Lythand
Zvi sounded like he was babbling and going off on tangents. I appreciated the other interviews more, but would like to have seen more, shorter (esp in Zvi's case) interviews. Great job otherwise.

I have always been a fan of Zvi...but he really seemed like an asshole at times...then at other times he seemed kind of cool. It was very hard to grasp his personality. He has a lot of good thoughts though.
Great interview though.

Good job Trick! This is the first time I've heard Zvi talk at length and he reminds me of my friend Troy. As I was watching the interview, I tore off a text message to him and a couple other guys from that group to tune in to the show right now! I laughed out loud at work...the similarities are uncanny. Fast talking, hard time focusing on one thing, they have the same mannerisms!! And they have never met. It's funny that some of you were put off by him because the same thing happens to Troy. But he's a good guy as I'm sure Zvi is as well. Brainy people tend to be off putting at first.
Trick,
Pretty good job man. You're still sounding a bit nervous and I coulden't help but think of The Chris Farley Show a couple of times while watching you.
Trick: "This is Guacamole Waffle Taco...one of the greatest...magic players of all ti...(facepalm) Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!! (consoled by GWT) "No, no, Trick...you're doing fine."
I want to do more but I'm not trying to make fun man...it's just what popped into my head.

Thanks, yeah I had some issues in Hollywood. You haven't seen the interviews yet but I had some issues interviewing Charles Gindy. I interviewed him twice and both times I screwed up his name. Once I called him Chris and the other time I said his lastname was Lindy.
It's tough!

I was kind of surprised you said Zvi last name wrong, but I guess me growing up around a lot of jewish kids, I had no issues with it.

Yeah, like I said. This trip had lots of interview issues. I can't make any excuses, I just had my share of problems.

Do what I do when I don't know names...use pronouns. "Hey man how are you doing today?" Then edit in text for his name. I suck at names. Thats why all of my friends have nicknames that lead to a physical trait that is hard to forget. I have a friend named Stinky...care to guess why?
