I don’t need to watch TSL (ugh) to figure that out.
True, but his observations are very enlightening.
This one? https://youtu.be/T6C9LULf8po
IMO it's maybe a bit misleading to call this a "TSL interview", given that it was conducted by other people for other purposes. From the video description:
I applaud TSL for making these old interviews publicly available on their YT channel, although I'm not surprised that some people here will categorically refuse to watch any content that's even tangentially related to Dave Lease.
I was just trying to identify it to make it easily found. I already read his book which is in much greater detail. I don't concern myself with thin skinned people that refuse to gain information because someone critisized their favorite, so the TSL anglle never occured to me. Lol
Thanks to the wonderful people who time stamp TSL's videos, I can easily navigate past the parts where I'm sure he criticizes my favorites. LOL. TSL has posted some wonderful videos and interviews. If people boycott because of their views on certain skaters, they really are missing out.

I’m really sorry. I did not mean to bite your head off. I just have major issues with Dave Lease.

They are talking about Jon Jackson's observation, not Dave Lease's.
Dave does not appear in the video at all.

I believe Jon Jackson was banned for life from judging ISU events after he had the audacity to try to break away from the ISU after the 2002 cheating scandal. Of course the French judge who cheated and her federation chief, Didier G., are back in.
Even just the first couple minutes already proved highly interesting and informative. I’ve always heard people talk about the waning clout of figure skating and how it’s losing audience. I didn’t know that the majority of ISU revenue comes from figure skating which is then evenly split and shared between speed skating and FS.
