Hate to admit it but I agree with Feldo. Comedians are too quick to take the easy way out with language. These are simply the best conversations anywhere.
I can listen to your shows with Jimmy and Frank all night. Good friends having a fun argument. It always seems like you guys just like to disagree for the fun of it, and I always get sucked in. You guys are so funny and so smart and make my traffic tolerable. Thanks. You remind me of the old Howard Stern show if Howard had talked about thinks that were important.
You guys criticize comedy, but you can back it up with great comedy. I think you guys are amazing.
