  • Was an avid listener

    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.

  • Love the guys but disappointed

    Now that I know why I am only getting 60% of the show i understand. Thank you for 20 years of fun laughs and information. I give them both a lot of credit on teaching me how to look at things and ask questions. I will continue to enjoy the show for as long as you want to put it out.
