It's not easy being interviewed and coming off sounding pro or cool if you haven't had experience or coached at it. So I cut Jim some slack here! From a substance point of view I think Jim explained himself very well on why the on board persona and why he called out Ramos so much..
Vanilla and PB did lay into Jim if you didn't notice. If the two ladies were friends of yours and you were a Jim hater from the start then it prolly was an enjoyable show. Being more objective, I wouldn't have called it exactly fair.
I don't personally know Jim, PB or Vanilla. The girls look hot for sure, but that doesn't make them a Ted Koppel" or "Tim Russert" when it comes to interviews. They certainly seemed to have an agenda. They had partied with Ramos and were his friend. Therefore Ramos was "kwel" even though he showed up way late (with a lame excuse) for his interview on YNOTRadio.
Trey's entrance was very pro on his part. I can'd defend his persona on the boards, but he was there for one of his own and didn't try to steal the show or take Jim out of the lime light.
I would have liked to hear about more of Jim's experience in the Army. What did he do, did he see any combat action etc. Every broadcaster in the US would have thanked Jim for his service to the country once annouced. PB and Vinallia passed over it.
PB and Vanilla are well known and liked in the Industry. It would be much more popular to jump on the hate Jim bandwagon. So I may be dismissed as clueless or an old geezer. So be it. The thread needed a bit nore objectivity.
Seems so many in the industry use the guidline of "coolness" or other "hype" to judge people and programs other than true merit and accomplishment. Truth be known, sex, coolness and hype sells to most here.
