They had Josh Stewart on a few weeks ago for a stop and chat. I don't normally watch, but I really like him and Theories, so I did. It was crazy how little they knew about him and TOA, they spent a good portion of the show re-hashing stuff they covered the first time he was on there. Even Josh at one point said something along the lines of "man I should have assigned homework before I came on." It was disappointing.
They live in the SoCal pro-skater bubble. When they were active, they rode for one of the biggest and most respected brands around in the case of Jeron, Eldy, and C-Rob. Outside of Rog, they are pretty oblivious. It's interesting when they have someone from their circle of the crailtap family or who they have a history with.
As for ignoring issues and not asking hard questions. Yes, it would be nice to see someone with a large platform doing that in skating, but you really want Kelly Hart and Chris Roberts attempting to actually be hard hitting journalists. I rarely watch anymore, and I might check it out if they got an interview with Rick Howard or someone who I think would be interesting.
