If you guys want to get away from talking heads, just watch SpaceX's feed directly from their website. The only people talking are people who work for SpaceX and know what they're talking about. They provide commentary on what you hear over the comms loop and if there's nothing to talk about, they shut the frick up. They don't feel the need to fill every second with inane thoughts.

I just can’t stop laughing at the Plinkett commentary.

I wonder if they're the same feed.

I've got goosebumps. I can't imagine the range of emotions these astronauts are feeling right now.
This is so fricking cool.

Dragon is fully automated.
A bulk of the 18 hr gap between launch and docking with ISS is them experimenting and playing with the manual interface tp see what they might prefer.
note how few buttons there are. It just those 3 touchscreen basically. There was some reliability concerns with that design.
