At first, yeah. Don't get me started! I have to force myself to watch him now when he has somebody on I want to see. Transcribing somebody's every word as you listen through earphones is a surprisingly intimate task. You get to know every cadence of the voice, every obnoxious mannerism, every pretentious turn of phrase. Eventually you just become violently allergic...and it's not the poor transcribee's fault, he's just doing his thing, and for the most part doing it superbly.
