i would agree with you that they were better as a team than on their own. the best in all of radio in my opinion. but, i couldn't listen to the show when Kevin was on his own, it became every other boring sports talk show. when kevin was out, chuck could more than hold his own. i realize you're not a big fan of chuck's, but his stand up is some of the best out there. you should go see him before you talk shit. if you've already seen him then your sense of humor is off. i think chuck gets a bad rap as someone said earlier, he says what people don't want to hear. and you and i both know that his humor has a strong conservative slant to it. it's no coincedence he gets the shaft (or that he was fired by the way). now i know you'll blast me as a blind chuckie supporter, but i could give a damn. chuck has balls and tells it like it is, nobody else does. he never kissed ass to get an interview. and would always ask the tough questions even if he was told not to. if that's why he was fired than so be it, he did the right thing. integrity is very hard to find these days.
