Oh Joe, Joe, Joe!
I am an early riser, enjoy turning on your program.....the days when you are not on. No, I didn't mean that as an vindictive statement; however, you must think your audience absolutely loves to listen to you talk, merely for the sake of talking. You spend 5 minutes rambling on about something that could be said in 1 minute or less. You have guests on (whom I really enjoy) but you mention their name, and you just keep on talking. Your guests patiently sit there, waiting for you to finally stop talking, so they can respond. I must, however, commend you in "allowing" Mika to speak more than you did in the past.
Now, Joe, I was born and raised in Pensacola. Born at Sacred Heart Hospital, graduated from Pensacola High many decades ago. Grew up on fried mullet and gumbo. We Southerners are known by some to have "the gift of gab" but, Joe, give it a break, please. When you come on, I just mute my TV until I see someone else's mouth start to move. Don't want to have to do that. I enjoy what you have to say, but please don't beat it to death. I would really like to enjoy your show more, and there may be others that share my view. If so, please take heed, not offense.
