Is it the best way to convey information to me? No. Not at all. But that doesn't make it less fun. And why fun? PXLated is right. It's a different kind of taste. It's like... Charles Bukowski in a room full of ...hmm... I dunno. Rilke? And here's something I believe: I think making us sweat the pauses and feel discomfort is part of the plan. Half of that gang has found itself on other shows, and yet, they come back to Steve. Ask yourself why. I have my opinion, of course.

The gaps/silence are just part of the show like gaps in any conversation. It's like listening in on a bunch of friends sitting around the table, there will be gaps.
