RUSH: I think everybody knows. Everybody who knows me and all of you in this audience, you know I don\u2019t complain. I never complain. You know why? Because I don\u2019t know how to deal with people who do. I have never known how to deal with people who complain. Do you say, “Oh, I\u2019m sorry,” and try to come up with similar experiences to kind of share the whining and moaning or do you tell them to shut up; you don\u2019t care about it? I don\u2019t know how to do it.<\/p>\n

\"\"It\u2019s one of the few areas of life where I\u2019m not prepared because I don\u2019t complain myself; so I don\u2019t know what kind of reaction I should have. But I can\u2019t hold it back today because this is one of those days where not a single thing has gone right! Something\u2019s gonna go wrong here in the next ten minutes on this show, I guarantee you, because not a thing has gone right today — and I can\u2019t keep it in. I can\u2019t contain it. I can\u2019t internally process it. I have got to vent.<\/p>\n

None of it\u2019s major, but you add it all up, and it just portends… I\u2019m just fit to be tied. The first thing that happened… Actually, it started last night. The cat has to go to the vet today. The cat has gingivitis. The cat needs a dental checkup. My cat, we can\u2019t get it in the cage no matter what we do. The vet said, “You can\u2019t feed the cat after midnight.” I said, “There\u2019s no way we\u2019re gonna get the cat in the cage.” “Sorry, you can\u2019t do it or the cat will puke during the surgery and might die. We can\u2019t do it.”<\/p>\n

So I fed the cat the last thing — a little morsel of treats — at 10 p.m., and at 5 a.m. the cat starts head-buttin\u2019 me and waking me up. I know that it\u2019s starving, it wants to eat, but I have to be the mean master and say “no.” And here I am like an idiot saying, “Allie, I can\u2019t feed you. You have to go to the dentist.” What am I doing? The cat doesn\u2019t know what I\u2019m saying. So I\u2019m saying all this for me to feel better. Meanwhile, the cat will not stop head-butting me. I know what the cat wants and I can\u2019t provide for the cat. Then when I finally do get up, there\u2019s a tweet.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a message on my phone: “Hey, did you see the president\u2019s tweet about you<\/a>?” “No, I just got up!” The tweet is, “Rush Limbaugh\u2019s a great guy who truly gets it.” Yeah, yeah? He\u2019s just figuring that out? I said, “What\u2019s this about?” Nobody knows! We still don\u2019t know! It\u2019s six hours after I got the message; I still don\u2019t know what it\u2019s about. We have to guess. So now I get out of bed, and the cat is going nuts, wants to be fed, doesn\u2019t know it\u2019s gotta go to the dentist for gingivitis. So I do the shave, shower, all that routine.<\/p>\n

The cat\u2019s just bugging me, does not understand why it\u2019s not been fed. I can\u2019t blame it. I created a welfare recipient out of the damn thing. I feed it three times; it expects to be fed. It\u2019s not gonna get fed \u2019cause it\u2019s gotta go to the vet for gingivitis. (sigh) I don\u2019t stop to think maybe I should put the cat in the travel cage, because the staff is gonna do that later. Well, because the cat didn\u2019t eat, the cat was fit to be tied. The staff couldn\u2019t get the cat in the cage, had to call the vet and explain it. The vet said, “Okay, we\u2019ll try for next week.”<\/p>\n

So I gotta go through all of this all over again next week, and I gotta be the one to find a way to get the cat in the cage after not feeding it again. I think that\u2019s Monday or Tuesday. Okay. So then I get in the car, and I\u2019m on the way. As you people know, I run beta software from Apple. I\u2019m a tester. I understand that beta is beta. I mean, it\u2019s not gonna work and things in it are gonna break, and so I have other devices — phones and iPads and computers — that I use that are running release software.<\/p>\n

But after five betas, I\u2019m thinking the audio from phone calls in the CarPlay device that I have in my phone should start working. But it\u2019s not. Every source… Do you know what CarPlay is? CarPlay is where you plug the phone into a cable in your car, and it allows you to send messages, make phone calls, all via Siri. You can listen to music, Sirius satellite, whatever you want to do, through the car\u2019s speakers with a direct wire so the audio connection, the audio quality is fine. All the audio works fine. If I need to play music, I hear it.<\/p>\n

Siri reads messages; I hear it. But when it comes to phone audio, the person I\u2019m talking to on the phone doesn\u2019t leave the phone. Of course, I can\u2019t hear it if it\u2019s not going through the car speakers. So I figure it\u2019s just beta software problem and after few more betas it will get fixed. So it\u2019s not fixed. So I start testing new cables today. I tried pairing the phone with Bluetooth in the car. Nothing worked. I called some friends who I know are running iOS 12 beta 5 in CarPlay. It\u2019s working fine for them! It\u2019s not working for me.<\/p>\n

So now I know I\u2019ve gotta take it to the dealer. The dealership is gonna tell me, “Sorry. It\u2019s beta software. We\u2019re not working on it.” So I\u2019m looking at another two months of having this not work with no end in sight to fixing it. Of course, whoever you tell it isn\u2019t working is not the slightest bit interested in helping you fix it! They don\u2019t even try to come up with ideas or workarounds. I have other things to do, but I\u2019m sitting out there in the carport! After the cat blew the trip to the vet, after I still don\u2019t know what the president\u2019s tweet about, now I\u2019m trying to get the tone audio to work in my car and I\u2019m already about to blow up.<\/p>\n

\"\"Now it\u2019s time to leave for work. This is the slowest time of year in Palm Beach. During the season from about Thanksgiving through Easter, the population here\u2019s 40 grand and we have big city traffic. That is punctuated by the fact that we have people 85 and 90 that will not drive over 10 miles an hour. But this time of year, it\u2019s supposed to be smooth sailing. Nobody\u2019s here. The population of the island is less than half. We\u2019re down to 19,000.<\/p>\n

I had to wait. Pulling out of my driveway, I had to wait because of all the traffic. The traffic is construction and repair vendors and so forth. And I get behind buses and trucks doing 15 miles an hour on the way to work with no way to pass them, have to sit there and endure it while realizing the CarPlay audio on my phone system is not working, realizing the whole cat-to-the-vet thing didn\u2019t work. I got a presidential tweet and don\u2019t know what it\u2019s about. I\u2019m steaming. I am stewing! I finally get here.<\/p>\n

There was a new beta release yesterday for Mac. It\u2019s called Mojave, it\u2019s beta 5, and it fixed a couple things on my laptop. The previous beta brightness could not be adjusted and Siri didn\u2019t work. But it\u2019s beta. I understand this. I have workarounds. So I fire up the laptop, I start doing show prep, and I\u2019m printing and printing and printing away. I have about 25 things I\u2019ve printed. Most of my show prep, when I get to the studio, is printing things that I have decided I need for the next day.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

After printing 25 or 30 jobs — which is about 50 pages — I turn around to the printer and I see that every damn page is blank! Beta 5 printing is broken from the mail app, and I don\u2019t find this out until 25 jobs in and about 50 pages. There happens to be a computer technician standing right next to me when this happens who offers not a single bit of suggestion or help or even interest! I said, “Look at this. I\u2019ve got 50 blank pages.”<\/p>\n

“Are you sure?”<\/p>\n

“Am I sure! Look at it!”<\/p>\n

“Did you try the second printer?”<\/p>\n

“Yes, I tried the second printer. I tried printing every printer in this place.”<\/p>\n

“Are they all blank?”<\/p>\n

“Yes, they\u2019re all blank. Can\u2019t you see?”<\/p>\n

“Yeah, okay. Well, I\u2019ll file a bug report.”<\/p>\n

“Good! We\u2019ll file a bug report! That\u2019s gonna get seen in about six weeks! Way to deal with it. We will file a bug report.”<\/p>\n

I found a work-around about 10 minutes later that adds three steps to printing whatever I want to print. I have to copy it, paste it into another app, resize it, and then print from that app, and it works. But I got it working. In the midst of all this, as you people know, I smoke cigars. I have thrown away six cigars today. I have tried six cigars, and every one of them had a major flaw. A bunch of them couldn\u2019t draw.<\/p>\n

I was gonna get a hernia if I tried to smoke \u2019em. Another one just fell apart. All of them were bitter as they could be. I said, “There\u2019s not a thing — there\u2019s not a single thing — that\u2019s going right today.” Then it came time to change implants and put on the show implant, which is the one I wear on my belt. I went over there; grabbed it. The battery overnight didn\u2019t charge! I attach it and it\u2019s only got 25% battery. It\u2019s been in the charger overnight.<\/p>\n

“What the hell happened?” Luckily, I have a backup, since I\u2019m used to things like this happening. So I put the backup in, but the backup battery doesn\u2019t stay seated here in this unit very well, so I may lose audio two or three times for 10 or 15 seconds during the program — and I still don\u2019t know what the president\u2019s tweet\u2019s about! We think that it\u2019s something that Fox & Friends played a clip from this program from yesterday.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Now, I don\u2019t complain.<\/p>\n

This is the kind of stuff I hear from people every day.<\/p>\n

Everybody complains to me about whatever. So I thought, “I have to get this stuff out,” and I\u2019m just wait. What else is gonna go wrong the rest of the day? Because not a thing… Well, some things have gone right. The show has started without any problems, which is amazing. And I haven\u2019t said anything here that needs to be bleeped, so that\u2019s good. So we\u2019ll just see. (interruption) I know how to get a cat in the carrier! It\u2019s just if the cat doesn\u2019t eat, you can\u2019t even catch it. The cat\u2019s too smart!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
