RUSH: Stephanie in Charlotte, North Carolina, glad you waited. Welcome to the program.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Thank you, Rush. I had a quick comment for you about the reverb that you\u2019ve added to your show.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yes, ma\u2019am.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019ve been a fan of yours for a long time, but I have to say it annoys me a little bit, and I was thinking about that today, and I decided to set my annoyance aside. Because if I, a fan of this show, am a little bit annoyed by the reverb, I can only imagine how absolutely infuriating it has to be to the liberals that I\u2019m sure are listening to your show right now.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That is a brilliantly mature way to look at this. What is it about the reverb that irritates you?<\/p>\n

CALLER: It makes it a little difficult to understand you. It\u2019s one of those things, it\u2019s like white noise. It\u2019s like, ‘This is annoying.\u2019 It only annoys me a little bit. When you slowed Obama down, that didn\u2019t annoy me at all, it made me laugh every time. This is a little annoying. I have some liberal friends that tune into your show fairly regularly and they called me about that and said how obnoxious that was.<\/p>\n

RUSH: (godlike reverb) Well, you know…<\/p>\n

CALLER: I look forward to hearing about what I\u2019m going to hear from them on this.<\/p>\n

RUSH: (godlike reverb) We have options with the reverb unit. I can have various settings. I tell you what I\u2019m going to do. After the break here coming up in mere seconds we\u2019ll do an on-air tweaking of the amount of reverb and then we\u2019ll settle on a compromise point where it\u2019s not distracting but it is still there.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I have an additional question for you.<\/p>\n

RUSH: (godlike reverb) Quickly. What is it?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Would it be awful to add additional reverb when there isn\u2019t reverb to Obama? Since you have it, can you add it to Obama all the time?<\/p>\n

RUSH: (godlike reverb) I\u2019ll think about it.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: All right, it has been mentioned to me twice now — once that I saw in an e-mail and just now on a phone call — that the reverb that we have added here is a little bit too much. We have the ability to tweak our reverb unit so I thought we would do it together. I do want to point out that the e-mail reaction to this is unilaterally, almost unanimously in favor of and over the top. There are always some naysayers. You always have people that complain. You always have people that whine, even in this audience. But even the whiners in this audience, like our previous caller, understand that it could be some good in it if it really irritates the libs. Now, remember also, folks, that there is a performance aspect of this. Any time you imitate or mock someone, you always exaggerate their characteristics. It\u2019s just part and parcel of it. <\/p>\n

So we added more reverb than is necessary to put an exclamation point on it. So what is the name of the first setting, Brian? Okay. Cathedral. This is the setting we have been using. (Cathedral reverb test) This is the voice of God-d in the cathedral. This is the setting we chose ultimately. (end Cathedral reverb test) What\u2019s the next setting? What is it? The next setting is Plate. I have no idea what it means but here\u2019s what it sounds like. (Plate reverb test) This is the plate reverb. Now, this is much less reverb to me, but it is still obviously reverb, and it should be less distracting reverb, correct? Go ahead and move to the next one. (end Plate reverb test) Put a checkmark by that one. That one\u2019s in the finals. The next reverb setting is called Hall (Hall reverb test) and this is the Hall setting. And there\u2019s hardly any reverb in it. So scrub that. (end Hall reverb test) <\/p>\n

That\u2019s worthless. That sounds like I\u2019m in a basement or someplace where a pancake breakfast is going on in Flint, Michigan. This one is Room. (Room reverb test) Okay, Room reverb. Room reverb, testing one, two, three, four. You like Room reverb? Okay, so we like the Hall or we like the Room. Is there one more setting we could try? (end Room reverb test) We have multiple settings on our Obama machine here. What is it? This is called concert (Concert reverb test) and this is the Concert reverb. Now, this sounds pretty close to the Cathedral, although it does not reverb as much. It doesn\u2019t have as lengthy an echo. We\u2019ll do one more. What\u2019s the next setting entitled? (end Concert reverb test) Mmm-hmm. Mmm-hmm. Studio reverb. (Studio reverb test) This is Studio reverb, and that\u2019s hardly any reverb. Okay, so we\u2019ve got Cathedral, which was my first choice (end Studio reverb test) and then, what was the other one we put a checkmark by? Plate. Okay let\u2019s go with Plate for now. Put it on Plate and we\u2019ll go back to the phones. <\/p>\n

In fact, we\u2019ll test it before we go to the phones. (Plate reverb) I just want to make a point about global warming. By the way, I had somebody send me a note, when the last caller asked me to think about adding even more reverb to Obama\u2019s sound bites. I said, ‘I\u2019ll think about it.\u2019 The e-mail said, ‘That\u2019s what I think God sounds like when I pray.\u2019 (laughing) Okay. Just a little side observation about all of this climate change stuff. I think it\u2019s the most damning thing about the Climate Research Unit e-mails and admissions. These scientists thought they had data that conclusive proved man-made global warming, evidence that proved that if we didn\u2019t drastically change the way we lived in a few short years we would be destroyed, and yet is they destroyed that data! They destroyed the original data, the baseline data. They destroyed it. They said, ‘Oh, we lost it when we moved to a bigger building.\u2019 <\/p>\n

That\u2019s like saying, ‘I\u2019m going to throw out my family pictures when we move because I\u2019m not going to have to room for them in the new house. They threw it out. Who would do such a thing? Who would throw out the original data, the baseline data that allows all their current projections to be truthful or believed in a scientific way? Shouldn\u2019t these scientists be brought up on charges for being so irresponsible when the fate of the world is hanging in the balance? Where is the outrage here? They have destroyed the automobile business with all of this. It is amazing the changes that governments — federal, state, and local — have implemented because of phony, false, made-up scientific data, which by definition is not scientific data. I mean, there ought to be criminal charges for what has been done here and yet they\u2019re doubling down over in Copenhagen.<\/p>\n

Tony Blair, he\u2019s saying even if the science isn\u2019t right, we still need to move ahead on climate change! Even if the science isn\u2019t right, which tells you first examine foremost that this is nothing about science. All right, may I have a review on this setting of the reverb? (end Plate reverb) What do you think, Mr. Snerdley? All right, Snerdley likes this but he likes Cathedral better. What about you Dawn? She says that you can\u2019t understand Cathedral as well, can\u2019t understand what I am saying. Well, you know, Dawn, you may have a point. If you can\u2019t easily understand… Good grief! I don\u2019t believe what I just saw. Well, I can\u2019t… There it is! Look! I can\u2019t believe what I am looking at. On MSNBC, I cannot believe what I am seeing. Anyway, Dawn said — I\u2019m sorry to tease you, folks. I\u2019m looking at Oprah. I just could not believe it. Anyway, Dawn says that with the Cathedral reverb setting, that it\u2019s much more difficult to understand what I\u2019m saying, which might come in handy on occasion. We\u2019ll go back and forth. I kind of like the Cathedral better because just from a performance standpoint, when you imitating or mocking you have to exaggerate it a bit in order to make the point. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
