What's up with Gabe and his co-host always badmouthing each other?

[PLO8FaceKilla]

Is that whole thing an act?
I started watching HSP again, and i have no clue how old these episodes are (one of them Brad booth bought in with a cool million, if that helps).

But in these episodes, at the beginning, Gabe will make comments about the other dude calling his agent and whining about him or something like that.

And then in all the shows afterwards there seems to be some hostility between the 2 announcers

so does anyone know what the deal is?
