How do you prove that Stephanie hurts the Sunday show anyway? You could look at downloads, but then you'd have no control to compare it to.
And I also doubt that Mark would get rid of her in the case that she reduced listeners. He loves to giggle with her. Literally, they are always giggling. No, not laughing....giggling.
Anyways, Stephanie isn't unbearable. She is just very interested in certain issues and those issues seem to pop up no matter what they're talking about. I probably think they pop up more than they really do because I disagree with her. I don't see the world the way she does and thats ok.
Hey, at least she didn't say, "If a person walks into a gas station and gets shot in the head, they really wanted to get shot because the universe always gives you what you want. The universe set up a willing murderer and willing victim." Yes, I SWEAR TO GOD that a host actually said that on FTL. And it wasn't Stephanie.
Please, Dale, don't make me find the episode (02/06/2009) and write it up word for word. (I only know of this because I had some mindless tasks to do a few days ago and randomly downloaded some old shows....they were out there.)
