  • Red Eye guys

    They cover all types of stories. They are honest to admit they don’t often understand certain political and economic trends but they resort to common sense to settle and solve most issues. Plus, they are funny

  • used to listen all the time. Gary continually interrupts and loses his place and sounds like dementia is setting in. he talks about golf and his family constantly which frankly is not relevant on a national talk show. now all they do is trash Trump and act like they are economists. difficult to listen anymore.
