With the exception of a few skits and the cathedral thing that got them busted, I thought there show was a riot, assuming you didnt take them to seriously....

Mike, in their heyday, these guys WERE quite funny. However, the downfall of shock radio is that you must always outdo yourself. Getting a couple to have anal sex in St. Patrick's Cathedral crosses a line which they can never return. If people want to pay to hear these guys on XM radio, fine. But they never deserve to return to public airwaves.

I don't think the duo ever really got enough credit for the sophistication of their humor.

Granted, their material wasn't exactly Moliere, but I do think that they weren't the one trick pony that the media loved to portray.

Their skits riffing off of the Nixon tapes-after they had been declassified and entered into the National Archives-was much funnier than anything Mark Russell has ever done during the course of his brutally long career.

That's just my opinion, disagree if you like.
