I always have mixed feelings about the "heh fanfiction" genre of interview, but I like Alex's effort to be positive about it! And lol Greg just humiliating him. Some people do like that kind of thing.

Same! Fourth wall breaking usually makes me cringe, but I liked that they praised the writers' talent. While I don't particularly care about the RPF side of the fandom, it will always amuse me how the "Alex Horne Can Read This"/"Alex Horne Please Don't Read This" tags are a thing. Greg and Alex sure know what they're doing.

The TM fanfiction really is a class of its own. I also like that they're at the same time comfortable and not comfortable with it. Totally something I expected of the two of them, if not something I expected to be talked about on a US talkshow.

I really liked the interview!

I looked into TM fanfiction, found one that completely rewired my brain (in a good way), and never returned. I like that it's a running gag at this point though, personally, I'd never recover if I heard TPTB read out my fic (smutty or not) on national TV.
