    Matt’s always amazed me – I am more jealous of him than any other person, and what he does is just amazing. I’d would flail my limbs about with him any day!

    I love how he starts with the plausible end of the accusations and starts reeling wildly into the fantastic – animatronic dancers, etc – so that it’s clear how absurd some of these hoaxbusters are.

    I always alternate between liking Matt for being the nice guy he seems to be and hating him for having such a grossly unfairly awesome job. I’ll give him points for being ballsy though. I don’t think I’d dare dance like a loon in the demilitarized zone.
