Hey Jesse,

The problem is that we use the laptops to navigate the show slides and videos as we can't actually see what we're talking about without them. If we didn't have laptops, I think we'd be looking behind us at the TV all episode which would probably be just as distracting.

If you had screens on your foreheads that showed what you were talking about THEN I'd be distracted.  Wink
