On an aside: Demetrio has this whole 'absent-minded professor' thing on lock. Had me cracking up when he talked about the "Red Carpet Club" which hasn't been a thing for over half a decade. Looks totally affable and approachable, like you could sit down and have a beer with him, even if you're across the aisle. Kinda slow, measured in how he speaks and responds. All this stuff lulls you into a false sense of security that he can't vaporize you in the courtroom.
I was thinking the exact same thing. For such a high-powered guy, he does a great job of talking like a layperson. He uses simple, everyday phrases ("rude treatment") that anyone can relate to. No wonder he's as good as he is.
