This is an I-Heart podcast.

Welcome to today's edition of the Rush Limbaugh Show podcast.

Holy cow. It just got real, didn't it?

Welcome to the Rush Limbaugh show. I am not decidedly not Rush Limbaugh. It is an honor to be here.

I'm Derek Hunter. And wow, you know, you hear that song your whole life, basically,

while driving in a car, sitting there at home, whatever. And to hear on this end of it is as scary

as I thought it would be. If it sounds as though I'm nervous, it's only because I am. Let me just

take a second before we get into anything else, and there is a lot

to get into. Holy Frank Tanana, it is a busy news day, even though it is, should be a slow newsday,

but that's just not the way the last four years have worked. I've got to pay homage to Rush just because,

well, as you heard Johnny Donovan, Johnny Donovan tell in the open, I have my own radio show, which again, is really cool.

I want that to be a ringtone.

I have my own radio show on WCBM in Baltimore, and the whole genre, everybody who has a radio show pretty much owes it to Rush.

He created it.

You sit there and you

say well how do you pay tribute to rush what do you say to a guy he's the henry ford

of talk radio he created the industry and for him to say here the keys to the to the Camaro

don't scratch it is a thrill and terrifying simultaneously.

So thank you to Rush.

We can't replace him.

We can only fill his chair for a day or two,

and he'll be back here on Monday to undo any damage
