We're going to start off this episode just by saying rest in peace, Rush Limbaugh.

He is the, I don't know, I guess the godfather of talk radio.

As most of you know, whether you're conservative or not, talk radio became big basically because

of Rush Limbaugh and then because of that emerged other formats of something similar, different

ideas, different ideologies, different politics, ultimately podcasting.

Shows like this.

I know a lot of conservatives are saying that every conservative talk host, you know,

owes their beginning to Rush Limbaugh, but let's be real.

I mean, this format, he was the one who was doing it.

He was the one who got the show syndicated and whether you like the guy or not, you know,

he broke ground in this field.

I don't know if any of you guys who are, you know, you want to mention anything about Rush

before we get started.

You know, for me, Rush Limbaugh has helped my life today because my girlfriend, I've been

with for many years, she grew up listening to Rush Limbaugh as her grandfather, listen

to Rush at lunch.

So they'd have lunch together and Rush Limbaugh would be on.

It was the background to her life.

And so when I met her, she already had that whole landscape laid out by Rush.

So I'm eternally grateful to him for that.

And just a guy who can put in that time, energy, effort, be consistent, persistent, bring

that excellence every single day.
