You know what I love to do? Sit around & listen to experts discuss something they love. It's amazing to hear them still have so much fire about something even when they "should" be jaded by the familiarity. It's why nerds like me love the commentary bonus feature on a DVD: we're clearly passionate about this movie, so we can't wait to hear the director(s)/actor(s)/writer(s) share that passion as they unveil even more of their creation to us. It's why thousands of MMA fans worldwide so eagerly await the Gracie Breakdown after every major event: here's the two current spokesmen for the family that is responsible for MMA in the US, still so enthusiastic about the sport & highlighting the great techniques, not just the finishes, from the night. It's pulling back that curtain & letting us even further behind the scenes. Or watching a TED Talk: guys from the top of their field, distilling the essence of their entire work into a 15min segment that anyone can digest.
I got to experience that today while at work: I found the entirety of "Talking Funny" on YouTube. It's Ricky Gervais, Jerry Seinfield, Chris Rock & Louis C.K. sitting around & talking about comedy for 42min. It's hysterical, it's enlightening & it's captiviating listening to these titans of comedy discussing their fears, their favorite memories, their philosophies, etc. Absolute gold. Please enjoy (very much R Rated): http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&v=rVBFwY4na7E&feature=endscreen
