    The duo have become “a glass half empty kind of guys.” Their show is too repetitious to listen to every day. Constructive criticism is important, but say it once and move on! Gary truly believes he knows more than the entire GOP put together.

    He should run for president before he forgets it all. There is still hope for Eric, maybe Gary will retire sooner than later.
