Babies or preferred schedules aside, Gretchen & ED need to swap jobs. F&F is like the old Monday Night Football - the three people in the booth are what makes it go.
I listen with the sound down half the time any more - mostly because I miss ED going off on one.
I do the same these days. I really got tired of hearing constantly about Obama and Ms. Clintoon. They just go overboard. Gretchen is just no fun.
