    10-02-26 Part One - Play Misty For Me

    02/10/2026 | 1h 16 mins.
    In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, the guys take a quick walk down memory lane remembering those special songs that has a way of magically transporting you back in time when the song was on the radio. They point out some songs that elicit not so happy memories, but for the most part good songs cause us to remember "the good old days".

    Also we delve a little deeper into the polling numbers that continue to place Republicans with a healthy lead over Democrats when it comes to voter favorability / audio from Newt Gingrich basically repeating our narrative of critical thinking / and the key to winning elections is effective communication.

    10-02-26 Part Two - The Heated Race for the Texas Senate

    02/10/2026 | 38 mins.
    In part two of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, with just weeks before Election Day, Democratic engagement and positive ratings give Democrat James Talarico a razor-thin edge over Republican Ken Paxton in what is, so far, shaping up to be a photo finish for the Lone Star State’s U.S. Senate seat. This analysis, released Thursday, is among Texas likely voters, unless otherwise noted. Talarico enjoys a net positive personal rating of 8 points (52% favorable vs. 44% unfavorable), while Paxton’s is underwater by 18 points (40% vs. 58%). Republicans are six times more likely to view Paxton unfavorably (32%) than Democrats do Talarico (5%).

    And audio from Senator John Kennedy sounding off on the lack of support for collegiate sports .

    10-01-26 Part One - Christa Pike Cheats Death

    01/10/2026 | 1h 16 mins.
    In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, the lone woman on Tennessee’s death row was still alive on Wednesday night after she was administered two lethal injections, according to her lawyer. Convicted Tennessee killer Christa Pike's legal team said in a motion seeking to halt her execution Wednesday night that the attempted execution did not kill her. At 8:26 p.m. local time, witnesses said the executioners had "injected both syringes of lethal injection chemicals and Pike is still alive and snoring," her lawyers said in a federal court filing, according to The Associated Press. Pike, 50, was 18 in 1995 when she, her boyfriend and another person beat, kicked and stabbed their 19-year-old classmate Colleen Slemmer to death in a brutal "satanic" attack that Pike claimed took between 30 minutes and an hour, according to court documents.

    Also Benjamin Netanyahu praises heroic bystander in bloody cockpit attack for preventing ‘another 9/11. The Israeli PM says the wounded pilot is 'fighting for his life' after the suspected hijacking attempt.

    10-01-26 Part Two - There's Nothing Like The Real Thing

    01/10/2026 | 38 mins.
    In part two of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, new reseach indicates podcast listeners are not happy with AI replacements for the human host of the show. AI is continually replacing media professionals with voice matching technology, but it's still "buggy". There's still a lot of fine tuning for the end product, else people may "tune out".

    Also polls still favor the GOP over Democrats for voter favorability / and in general Americans want improvements to healthcare coverage and fuel prices to normalize.

    09-30-26 Part One - Talarico’s Unconvincing Christian Progressivism

    30/09/2026 | 1h 16 mins.
    In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, James Talarico may not think that God is nonbinary anymore, but he’s certain that He’s in favor of universal health care. The Texas Senate candidate posted a riff on X about how the Bible is the foundation of his progressivism. Supposedly, through happy coincidence, our Savior agrees with Talarico about important planks of the Democratic platform circa 2026. “When Jesus healed the sick,” the Democrat said, “He didn’t ask for a deductible. So, when I fight for universal health care, I’m doing it on biblical grounds.” This is the kind of cheap misuse of Scripture that Talarico, a former seminarian, finds irresistible.

    Also McDonald’s pushes AI tools that suggest Big Mac prices are based on ‘customers willingness to pay’ / the Iranian regime uses false propaganda to promote a normal and vibrant life in Iran / the "Senator John Kennedy Audio Cut of the Day" / and Geddy Lee’s Brad Bradford endorsement for Toronto mayor sparks debate among Rush fans: 'I guess we can no longer call Rush “progressive rock”'
