This is Jill.  So glad to have you on the program today.  Jill, hi.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Hi, Rush.  Happy Friday the 13th to you.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Thank you.  You know, you\u2019re right.  I\u2019d forgotten that.  It didn\u2019t even register.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  I called for two reasons today.  The first one is to wish you and I a happy anniversary tomorrow.  Twenty-one years ago tomorrow I started watching your TV program when it started, and that began you as a part of my family.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/videos\/player\/43265\/52727?id=4255636\" width=\"585\" height=\"315\"><\/iframe>RUSH:  Twenty-one years. You know the day twenty-one years ago you started watching? I wouldn\u2019t know that. If somebody asked me, &#8220;What day did your TV show debut?&#8221; I wouldn\u2019t know.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Well, I was talking to my husband about it and we got married in \u201992 and we\u2019d only been listening a few months when I first started listening to you.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Right.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  My parents had listened to you for a long time so I knew of you but I didn\u2019t ever really listen too much, and so we were newlyweds and my mom said, &#8220;Hey, Rush is gonna have this new TV show.&#8221; So we started watching, and from there we started listening and we\u2019ve been listening ever since, and my husband and I knew the date. I was trying to remember when the show started, so I looked it up online, and it was September 14, 1992.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Congratulations to you &#8212; and me, too.  But thank you very much.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  You flatter me.  You really flatter me. I appreciate that.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_81305\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/RUshTvBlueDot.jpg\"\/><BR\/> CALLER:  Real quick, I have a 911 story for you.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>RUSH: A 911 story?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Yes, to add to your list of 911 stories.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  You mean like in Port St. Lucie, that kind of 911?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Yes.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Okay.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Absolutely.  Yeah.  My son was at his friend\u2019s house and I went to pick him up the other day. He was over there hanging out, and I go in, and his mom was telling me the story about how there was a bat in her house, and she couldn\u2019t get it out. She couldn\u2019t get it out, and so she called 911.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  (laughing)<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  I know.  Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Somebody called 911 for a spider.  Somebody called 911 for a spider on the back of the sofa, and a policeman actually went to the house to kill the spider.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Yeah.  A police officer came to her house and got the bat out.  Yep.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Why wouldn\u2019t you call an exterminator?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  I don\u2019t know.  I didn\u2019t really say anything.  I just kind of laughed.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  You know, more important, how does a bat get in your house?  That\u2019s what would worry me.  If I had a bat in my house, I would wonder, &#8220;Is this the only one, and where did it come from?&#8221;  That would bother me tremendously.  Well, anyway, that\u2019s great.  Twenty-one years ago, my TV show debuted.  I would never have known that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Spirit Lake, Iowa. This is Jill.
