Has this show gone downhill recently?

Or today, where Zane consistently was using "duck" instead of the expletive in the last bit about the prostitute in Iowa. It derailed it to the point where FB basically had to cut it short and go to break. I would find it hard to believe anybody found using "duck" for 2 minutes instead of a swear word was really that humorous. I don't think this used to be as much of a problem but I notice it more.

You are more than entitled to your opinion about the show and its waxing or waning quality, but some of your post just sounds like you're finding things that annoy you because you've told yourself it's not as good anymore and it's given you a bias.

I just pulled up the duck bit and listened to it again and your recollection of what happened is very slanted against Zane. I'm not saying you should love the guy but in this case HW made the joke in the first place and he made as many references to it as Zane did, with FB only two behind them (yes I counted, yes I know how lame that sounds, I don't give a duck). I think your surprise that anyone would find those 2 minutes funny rivals my surprise that you didn't find it funny, especially considering that's their classic style of humor.

There have been a number of changes recently and if you don't enjoy the show anymore you could tune in to something else. Now that you're of the opinion that the show has gone downhill, I think that continuing to listen to it may only frustrate you as the little annoyances seem to pop out more. To each their own I suppose
