\n

RUSH: All right. It\u2019s a great thrill to welcome back to the program Ken Hutcherson, Dr. Hutcherson from Seattle, former player, NFL, Dallas Cowboys, San Diego Chargers, Seattle Seahawks, played linebacker for many years in the National Football League, even given a big award by George Wallace, the governor of Alabama, Ken Hutcherson Day. I\u2019m sorry I gave you the wrong phone number, Ken.<\/p>\n

HUTCHERSON: You did.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I think I reversed a nine and a six in there to a 69. Anyway, before we get to football, I need to ask you something.<\/p>\n

HUTCHERSON: Sure.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Dr. Hutcherson is an activist in the evangelical community in Seattle, is taking on a lot of things people don\u2019t have the guts to take on. What do you make, as an American, of this race battle, this Uncivil War going on on the Democrat side between Obama and Mrs. Clinton?<\/p>\n

HUTCHERSON: Well, Rush, before I go there, you know I\u2019m going to have to pick a bone with you.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I knew this.<\/p>\n

HUTCHERSON: You know I\u2019m going to have to do that. If it wasn\u2019t for you, Obama wouldn\u2019t even be in the race.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, really? How\u2019s that? Am I responsible for this?<\/p>\n

HUTCHERSON: Rush, what have you been campaigning for this man for three years, four years almost now, probably? The series \u201924.\u2019<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh.<\/p>\n

HUTCHERSON: If you hadn\u2019t pushed \u201924,\u2019 America wouldn\u2019t be wanting a black president.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You know, that\u2019s interesting you say that. I know you\u2019re just trying to be funny, but —<\/p>\n

HUTCHERSON: No, I\u2019m telling you, Rush, just think about it. Half of America does not know the difference between a reality show and a TV series.<\/p>\n

RUSH: (laughter) I know, the liberals thought the West Wing was the real administration and that Bush was just a TV show.<\/p>\n

HUTCHERSON: You done pushed and pushed and pushed, why do you think he got so many guilty white votes?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, I think there\u2019s white guilt out there long before \u201924\u2019 came along, but the guy who played President Palmer, Dennis Haysbert, is actually in TV Guide this week saying this.<\/p>\n

HUTCHERSON: I\u2019m telling you, and you don\u2019t have to worry about Hillary winning because of \u201924,\u2019 too. Who was the most untrusted character in the \u201924\u2019 series?<\/p>\n

RUSH: The black president\u2019s wife.<\/p>\n

HUTCHERSON: It was the first black president\u2019s wife.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right.<\/p>\n

HUTCHERSON: And Hillary married the first black president! (laughter)<\/p>\n

<\/a>RUSH: (laughter) Okay. All right. Now you picked the bone. I think we\u2019ve covered the political question at the same time. Okay, which game do you want to do first? Let\u2019s do the Patriots and the Chargers first since they play first.<\/p>\n

HUTCHERSON: Sounds great, bro.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You told me, you kind of digging me in the e-mail some weeks ago, ‘Tom Brady is not nearly as confident, Rush, as you think he is.\u2019 What do you mean by that? I don\u2019t see any evidence that he\u2019s not confident.<\/p>\n

HUTCHERSON: Well, he\u2019s confident, but he\u2019s not going to be confident if he gets hit, that\u2019s what I said, and that\u2019s what I meant for years.<\/p>\n

RUSH: He\u2019s not going to get hit. That offensive — <\/p>\n

HUTCHERSON: — takes care of that boy.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I\u2019ve never seen an offensive line as dominant as these guys are.<\/p>\n

HUTCHERSON: They should be the MVP.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I know.<\/p>\n

HUTCHERSON: I told you that when they won the last Super Bowl.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Let me ask you another question. I\u2019ve gotten to know Brady a little bit from golf tournaments.<\/p>\n

HUTCHERSON: Yeah.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I wouldn\u2019t call him a friend, but we\u2019ve exchanged e-mails back and forth, and I remember on the Saturday of their last game of the year, they\u2019re in New York to play the Giants, a Saturday night game.<\/p>\n

HUTCHERSON: Right.<\/p>\n

RUSH: And I sent an e-mail at ten o\u2019clock in the morning and I said, ‘What are you doing to while away the hours?\u2019 And he said, ‘Food, film, sleep, and massage,\u2019 and then he said, ‘visualizing a pride of lions mauling a Ugandan cub.\u2019 Now, my point here, I\u2019ve met some professional athletes, not a whole lot, there are two that stand out. George Brett and Brady are the most focused I have ever met–<\/p>\n

HUTCHERSON: They would have to be.<\/p>\n

RUSH: –and the most competitive. Brady gets up six o\u2019clock in the morning and actually goes to bed at nine o\u2019clock.<\/p>\n

HUTCHERSON: Yep. And those guys watch more video and more film, they know when the guy\u2019s going to hiccup before he hiccups. He is focused, that young man is very focused. That\u2019s why I\u2019m saying that the only way he\u2019s going to get beat, and those Chargers out there know this, is they gotta get on him and break his game plan, and the only way to do that, they got to have a pass, Rush, that\u2019s the only way they\u2019re going to beat \u2019em.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You know, in theory, isn\u2019t that what the Jaguars tried?<\/p>\n

HUTCHERSON: Absolutely, but it failed.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, that\u2019s my point, the Jaguars didn\u2019t blitz \u2019til the fourth quarter and they took away the deep threat, took away Randy Moss, they double and tripled him. Brady, two steps and he\u2019s getting rid of the football, on these slants and these check-downs, nobody\u2019s going to have time to get to him.<\/p>\n

HUTCHERSON: Well, they are going to have to figure out a way, Rush, or this guy is going to go all the way, but I think that with the Chargers beating my team twice in one season, the Colts, I was blown away. I mean, you tell me that you weren\u2019t surprised at that victory.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, I was stunned, especially when the starting quarterback and the starting running back go out, I\u2019m stunned that the Colts in the fourth quarter stopped playing ball. <\/p>\n

HUTCHERSON: That was amazing. I love Coach Dungy, the guy loves the same Lord I love, and I was just so surprised when the running back went out, Rivers went out. I just said, man, it\u2019s over.<\/p>\n

<\/a>RUSH: Okay, now, you can comment on this because you\u2019ve played the game and you\u2019ve been through playoffs and so forth, but to me, if you look at the teams that did not rest their players going into the last weeks of the season, whether they had a bye week or not, the Giants played the last game to win, and look at them, the Patriots didn\u2019t rest anybody, they wanted to go to 16-0. The Buccaneers took the last week-and-a-half off. The Colts took the last two games plus the bye week off.<\/p>\n

HUTCHERSON: Yeah.<\/p>\n

RUSH: As a fan, it looks like they lose not focus, but timing and sharpness.<\/p>\n

HUTCHERSON: That\u2019s the thing you lose. My whole philosophy when I was playing ball and Coach Landry was the same way, you kill a gnat with a sledgehammer. You do not take those weeks off, you stay crisp, and you go out to win. Fifty percent of the home teams lost. Usually seventy-five percent of the home teams win, Rush. That was astonishing to me. I couldn\u2019t believe that weekend.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, well there\u2019s the other side of it, though, the Philadelphia McNabbs. When they went to the Super Bowl and they lost to New England but they still went, they took the last two weeks off, they rested everybody, so sometimes for some teams it works, sometimes it doesn\u2019t. To the Chargers, they got Shawne Merriman, and they\u2019ve got some people that can rush the quarterback, they\u2019ve got some good linebackers.<\/p>\n

HUTCHERSON: Yeah.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Nobody has been able to do anything with the New England offensive line. Do really think they can? And tell me about whether on San Diego — I mean they\u2019re Beach Boys.<\/p>\n

HUTCHERSON: (laughter) Well, they got some good players out there, you got Jamal Williams, I know he may have a little ankle injury but he\u2019s going to have to come through. Brandon McKinney can back him up, Luis Castillo, those guys can do the job. But, man, I\u2019m going to tell you they have got to be eating nails for breakfast on Sunday morning. They all gotta come out and they\u2019re going to have to hit that boy. I promise you, if Brady gets sacked three or more times, Patriots are going down.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, really? Now, I\u2019m going to have to look that up. I\u2019m going to have to see if Brady has been sacked three times, I think he has.<\/p>\n

HUTCHERSON: That\u2019s what I\u2019m saying.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I think he\u2019s been sacked three times this season.<\/p>\n

HUTCHERSON: I would like to know what game.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, who was it, the Jaguars got to him once, first play of the game.<\/p>\n

HUTCHERSON: Yep.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I\u2019m going to check. You may be right. But that\u2019s quite a claim you\u2019re making, if he gets sacked — you\u2019re saying that the guy is going to get defensive and be taken out of his rhythm with a little contact?<\/p>\n

HUTCHERSON: A person with that kind of concentration, a person that is that much of a student of the game knows what he wants to do, and if you mess that up, no one has ever seen that that boy may crack up, and I\u2019m telling you, the Chargers got the opportunity with those linebackers. If they start running Merriman and they start stunting Shawne and get those guys in there to get him, it\u2019s going to be a long day. But this is the bottom line, Rush. If the Patriots allow the Chargers to be in the game at the end of the third quarter, they better get ready for a 17-1 season.<\/p>\n

RUSH: All right. I\u2019ve heard you make that prediction. You made that prediction on Pittsburgh and New England three or four years ago, the playoffs. I gotta take a break here, but I don\u2019t think they\u2019re going to get to Brady. The running game, they\u2019ll just do play action passes. They\u2019re going to keep that defense off balance. I just don\u2019t see it. Not with the injuries, especially.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: We\u2019re back with a great friend of the program, and a great personal friend as well, Ken Hutcherson from Seattle, former NFL player. We do this every year. We normally do it before the Super Bowl, but these games are probably going to be better than the Super Bowl, possibly. We\u2019re talking New England and San Diego right now. We\u2019re going to get to the Packers and the Giants in just a second. Now, Hutch —<\/p>\n

HUTCHERSON: Yeah.<\/p>\n

RUSH: — we looked up Brady\u2019s sack stats during the break.<\/p>\n

HUTCHERSON: Uh-huh.<\/p>\n

RUSH: And you\u2019re right. We don\u2019t have it per game, but they played 17 games.<\/p>\n

HUTCHERSON: Yeah.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Twenty-one sacks. That\u2019s just over a sack and a smidgen per game.<\/p>\n

HUTCHERSON: And if you look at the last four or five years —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wait. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Twenty-one sacks out of 578 pass attempts. So your theory is if they can get to him three times, they can rattle him?<\/p>\n

HUTCHERSON: Absolutely.<\/p>\n

RUSH: This guy played the game, folks. This guy played the game and he was a linebacker. Did you play 3-4 or 4-3?<\/p>\n

HUTCHERSON: We played a 4-3, babe.<\/p>\n

RUSH: So you were outside linebacker?<\/p>\n

HUTCHERSON: No, I was middle linebacker.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You were the ‘Mike\u2019 linebacker?<\/p>\n

HUTCHERSON: Yes, sir.<\/p>\n

RUSH: No kidding!<\/p>\n

HUTCHERSON: I liked to make people eat through a straw.<\/p>\n

RUSH: (laughing) By the way, I want to tell the audience, for those of you that watch football and if you watch the Patriots, one thing you\u2019ll notice as the Patriots go to the line of scrimmage, without exception, whether he\u2019s the shotgun or under center, Brady is always pointing at the other team and shouting, and what he\u2019s pointing out, he\u2019s telling everybody who he thinks is the ‘Mike\u2019 linebacker because they\u2019re playing 3-4 defense, they got four linebackers, so technically there\u2019s not a designated middle. You got two inside, got two outside, but every play, every defense has a ‘Mike\u2019 linebacker, and that\u2019s what he\u2019s pointing out. So you\u2019re going to watch the Patriots on Sunday, he\u2019s pointing out who the ‘Mike\u2019 linebacker is, and, by the way, that\u2019s something that a lot of quarterbacks, Peyton Manning has the ability to do it, a lot of quarterbacks are not given that kind of authority, some offensive lineman may be the ones to make that kind of call. That\u2019s just a little side note.<\/p>\n

HUTCHERSON: That\u2019s good.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I\u2019m impressed that you were a ‘Mike\u2019 linebacker.<\/p>\n

HUTCHERSON: Well, thanks, my brother.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I really am. Okay, now, one thing I have to disagree with you on.<\/p>\n

HUTCHERSON: Sure.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Just one. You say if the Chargers are in the game, or let\u2019s say even ahead at the end of the third quarter, then you — I don\u2019t want to misquote you. What did you say about this? You said they might win?<\/p>\n

HUTCHERSON: No, I said that if they\u2019re still in the game —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n

HUTCHERSON: — at the end of the third quarter, if they\u2019re ahead at the end of the third quarter, the Patriots are in serious trouble, but if they\u2019re still in the game, Patriots may end up 17-1.<\/p>\n

RUSH: All right. Hutch, there\u2019s two words that argue against that.<\/p>\n

HUTCHERSON: Sure.<\/p>\n

RUSH: They are Tom Brady.<\/p>\n

HUTCHERSON: I know it, man.<\/p>\n

RUSH: They have been in that situation in some games this year, and Brady will be the first to tell you they\u2019ve had a lot of luck, they had tremendous luck in Baltimore with some of those officiating calls, some of those stupid penalties on the Ravens. They\u2019ve had a lot of luck but he still, fourth quarter, this year, there\u2019s no doubt — I don\u2019t think — it this may be the single, the best single season team in the National Football League history.<\/p>\n

HUTCHERSON: It is, Rush, I mean there\u2019s no doubt, man. No team has ever won, what, 17 in-a-row, no team.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, the Dolphins did it.<\/p>\n

HUTCHERSON: They were a great team, I\u2019m not taking away from them, but I tell you, this is a game of emotion, brother, you know that.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yes.<\/p>\n

HUTCHERSON: And any given season — Tom Brady told you that already in the e-mail and you\u2019ve forgotten. He said, ‘Don\u2019t think that just because we\u2019ve done this, it\u2019s over.\u2019<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, I know, I know, I told you the Hutch — now, you\u2019re giving things away here. You\u2019re telling things I haven\u2019t told the audience.<\/p>\n

HUTCHERSON: Yes, you did, you told the audience that.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I told the audience — you\u2019re talking about after they\u2019d beaten Cincinnati?<\/p>\n

HUTCHERSON: Yes.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay. Okay. They\u2019d beaten Cincinnati on the road and the Patriots are on the bus on the way to the airport. It\u2019s a night game. It\u2019s like 1:30 in the morning, say, okay, let\u2019s do the rest of the schedule, and I went down the schedule with him.<\/p>\n

HUTCHERSON: Right.<\/p>\n

RUSH: This was in e-mail. And every team, you own \u2019em, you own \u2019em, you own \u2019em, you got Miami in Miami, they\u2019ve given you problems there, but you gonna own \u2019em. And I went through the whole thing, all the way down to the Giants. He wrote back and said, ‘Hell, this is easy. You be the coach. I\u2019ll just take some time out, I\u2019ll go take some time off in California.\u2019<\/p>\n

HUTCHERSON: Well, you know, that\u2019s what happened to Romo.<\/p>\n

RUSH: (laughter)<\/p>\n

HUTCHERSON: (laughter) Hey, Rush —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Do you know who paid for that vacation? TO paid for that vacation to say he was sorry.<\/p>\n

HUTCHERSON: I\u2019ll tell you what, brother, let me tell you something, Romo got blonde-sided.<\/p>\n

RUSH: He got blonde-sided. (laughter)<\/p>\n

HUTCHERSON: (laughter) <\/p>\n

RUSH: You know, I talked about that, long before this incident but, you know, Romo went to college in Eastern Illinois, fine place, and Brady is from the San Mateo area, and Brady\u2019s handled his personal life a lot — these guys, you know, they\u2019re just average guys and look at these starlets as some big deal, and I don\u2019t know, guess it can be distracting if you\u2019re the wrong guy, but I don\u2019t think the vacation had anything to do — hell, a lot of Cowboys, like Jason Witten went on that vacation, Marc Colombo went —<\/p>\n

HUTCHERSON: How many went with that blonde? None. Him. He was the only one.<\/p>\n

RUSH: All right, all right, all right. Now, you\u2019re getting awfully sexist here. You sound like those NFL coaches from back in the fifties. I don\u2019t know if Lombardi was one, but there are some coaches in the NFL who told their players, and this is way back, ‘You can\u2019t sleep with your wife after Tuesday.\u2019 They asked the coach, ‘Well, how do you enforce this?\u2019 ‘Well, it\u2019s the honor system.\u2019<\/p>\n

HUTCHERSON: It\u2019s the honor system — (laughter) it wasn\u2019t very much honored in the NFL even back then, my brother.<\/p>\n

RUSH: All right, now, it\u2019s 13 1\/2, Chargers getting 13 1\/2, it\u2019s going to be 14 or 15 degrees, can they cover?<\/p>\n

HUTCHERSON: I\u2019m going to tell you something. I want to know if they are going to be able to stand with those guys. Those receivers are so great, only defensive corners that can keep up with those receivers is going to be Green Bay. They are going to get in their pocket, they\u2019re going to go face to face. I think it would be a great Super Bowl if it\u2019s Favre and Brady.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay.<\/p>\n

HUTCHERSON: Because those defensive backs are going to get in their pocket, man, and they are going to be on like white on rice, cold on ice, and dots on dice.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Let\u2019s move on in our remaining few minutes, let\u2019s move on to the Giants at the Packers. Let\u2019s not discuss the weather, both teams, everybody is talking about it, Giants have had three inclement weather victories this year. I want to take you back to — I can\u2019t remember the year, but it\u2019s the first time we did this, I think, one of the first two or three times we did this.<\/p>\n

HUTCHERSON: Yeah.<\/p>\n

RUSH: The Patriots were where the Giants are today, they were a wild-card team.<\/p>\n

HUTCHERSON: Right.<\/p>\n

RUSH: And every week everybody thought they were going to lose and they just kept —<\/p>\n

HUTCHERSON: Except me.<\/p>\n

RUSH: They went in to Pittsburgh for the championship game, and you said to me —<\/p>\n

HUTCHERSON: Yeah.<\/p>\n

RUSH: — keep a sharp eye on those Patriots because they are playing like no other team in the league right now. Nobody\u2019s giving \u2019em a chance; they\u2019re a wild-card team. And you pointed out at the pregame introductions they didn\u2019t do it individually, the came out units, both offense and defense, came out together, there was no individuality in terms of player introductions and this sort of thing, and what I can\u2019t remember is your reason why you said keep an eye on the Patriots, but you said there is something attitudinally about them, the way their season — my question to you, would you apply that in this game between the Giants and the Packers? Do you think the Giants, big underdog, do you think that they have a chance here pulling this out on a destiny roll, or whatever you guys who play call it?<\/p>\n

HUTCHERSON: You know what? Did you see the faces of the Giants players compared to the Cowboy players in the third and fourth quarter?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, hell, yes.<\/p>\n

HUTCHERSON: You noticed a difference, didn\u2019t you? They took the nerve from the Cowboys. They said, ‘Come in our position, and we will knock you out.\u2019 But the Packers have that same view, but they\u2019re coming into their house. And they beat my Seabirds, bro, so I gotta go with the Packers. I don\u2019t care how great the Giants are, they do not have the face that the Packers have, and that\u2019s why I think it\u2019s gonna be one of the greatest Super Bowls if those two teams go, and you gotta watch what they did to the defense of the Seahawks. Man, we had a great rush defense. What happened —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well —<\/p>\n

HUTCHERSON: — at Lambeau Field?<\/p>\n

RUSH: For one thing, snow happened, and it\u2019s got to affect footing. The offense knows where they\u2019re going, the defense doesn\u2019t.<\/p>\n

HUTCHERSON: Yeah, but you are paid to know how to deal with that, Rush. That\u2019s why they\u2019re called professionals.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I understand. We\u2019re all professionals here. I understand this. I\u2019m not trying to make excuses. You know, what did you call them, your Seabirds?<\/p>\n

HUTCHERSON: My Seabirds.<\/p>\n

RUSH: A little overrated throughout the season if you ask me anyway. I\u2019m not trying to be funny with you. I just —<\/p>\n

HUTCHERSON: I know. I live here, brother. Regardless, I\u2019m not going to say that.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Their offensive line didn\u2019t show up, either.<\/p>\n

HUTCHERSON: No, it was not a good game, but we\u2019ll be ready next year.<\/p>\n

RUSH: By the way, those guys are really knocked up. I just saw today that four of these guys —<\/p>\n

HUTCHERSON: Was it five or four, I thought it was five.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Maybe it\u2019s five, having major surgery, Kerney, somebody\u2019s having shoulder surgery, Alexander on his wrist. You guys are really beat up.<\/p>\n

HUTCHERSON: Real beat up.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay. Now, just so the fans in the audience know, is your desire to see a Super Bowl of New England and Green Bay with Favre —<\/p>\n

HUTCHERSON: Absolutely.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Is your desire for that clouding your objective assessment of the Giants-Packers game?<\/p>\n

HUTCHERSON: No, man, you gotta remember, man, I talk to God every day. That eliminates —<\/p>\n

RUSH: (laughter)<\/p>\n

HUTCHERSON: (laughing.)<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, Hutch, I\u2019m sorry for the phone number screw up.<\/p>\n

HUTCHERSON: That\u2019s all right, Rush.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I love this every time you call. I have more fun talking about this stuff this time of year. I don\u2019t get to do it very much, tried it on TV, you know what happened.<\/p>\n

HUTCHERSON: Yeah, but still, I\u2019m the one pushing for you. One of these days we are going to get you on Sunday night. Let\u2019s do it, man, let\u2019s do it, you\u2019ll be great! (laughter) <\/p>\n

RUSH: (laughter) Yeah. All right, Ken, thanks much. We\u2019ll check in on Monday in the e-mail and we\u2019ll see — wait, I didn\u2019t make my picks.<\/p>\n

HUTCHERSON: Yeah. Yeah. Go ahead.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I didn\u2019t make my picks. Gotta go with New England. <\/p>\n

HUTCHERSON: I know you do.<\/p>\n

RUSH: And I love the Spanos family, friends of mine, but I gotta go with New England. It\u2019s so tough. This is so tough. <\/p>\n

HUTCHERSON: It\u2019s tough there, bro.<\/p>\n

RUSH: What?<\/p>\n

HUTCHERSON: This one is tough for you.<\/p>\n

RUSH: See, because I\u2019m having trouble staying objective about this one because I have some really good friends of mine, the Giants, Chris Mara, who\u2019s director of player personnel, scouting and so forth, he\u2019s the son of Wellington Mara. He\u2019s just a great guy and these guys are doing things that nobody thought they would do. The coach, thought he was like a caretaker coach, going to be gone this year. I don\u2019t think if they play like they don\u2019t got anything to lose — just gotta take the Packers at Lambeau Field.<\/p>\n

HUTCHERSON: Yeah. You got to.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You just do. All right, so I guess we\u2019re on the same page here.<\/p>\n

HUTCHERSON: Hey, guess what, man, you know, one of these days in the next year or two we\u2019re going to have a Manning Super Bowl, so get ready.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, that will be interesting.<\/p>\n

HUTCHERSON: It is.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Archie Manning in half, where do we sit to watch the game?<\/p>\n

HUTCHERSON: I want to be right next to him, wherever he is. (laughter)<\/p>\n

RUSH: (laughter) We\u2019ll set that up.<\/p>\n
