Chis Hayes use to be bad too. If you listen real close sometimes you can hear the engineers in the earpieces "more hand-bell".

I can't take it. Automatic click.

BTW, on the other end of the decibel spectrum it was great to see Bill Schneider late last night on CNN. I didn't realize he was now teaching at UCLA. As a Trojan I can forgive that. His presentation and analysis are perfect.
