    Love Capehart & Alemany, but Eugene’s lack of enunciation is grating. I have to strain to understand him half the time. Please get a voice coach to make the transition to TV.

  • Hint

    Content n discussions are valuable. PLEASE mute your microphones when guests are talking.

    Paper shuffling, sniffing, heavy breathing is not just a distraction, it’s quite disrespectful to your guests because it gives the impression that you’re not really listening.

  • Sirens in background!

    Love the show but the sirens in the background is so annoying. How can they be going so long without acknowledgment. I’ll have to turn it off.
