RUSH: A programming note, ladies and gentlemen. Tomorrow night I have a Rush to Excellence appearance in Philadelphia. Now, normally, in order to make sure I am there, we would have a guest host in tomorrow, and I would leave in the morning to allow for any possible weather delays, mechanicals on the airplane, or anything unforeseen. I mean if you\u2019re going to be in Philadelphia at 7:30, you\u2019ve got to be there. And it\u2019s just a little risky leaving at four o\u2019clock in the afternoon for a 6:30 curtain call — well, 7:30 curtain call, 6:30 backstage stuff. It\u2019s a two-hour flight. But it\u2019s election season and we decided I\u2019m gonna do two hours of the program tomorrow and leave at two o\u2019clock and still allow time for any potential delays to be overcome. Mark Davis will do the last hour of the program tomorrow. Normally with these things you go in the night before, just to make sure you\u2019re there. People have paid money for the tickets, the money goes to charity, certainly not to me, and you gotta be there. <\/p>\n

<\/a>It\u2019s like the NFL. The teams are required to get there the night before, the kickoff at one o\u2019clock, the team\u2019s gotta be there. You can\u2019t fly in that day. Pregame meal and all that five hours before the game, you gotta be there. I\u2019ve always treated these things that way, have to be there. So we\u2019re going to be cutting it close anyway, if there\u2019s any kind of weather delay tomorrow or a mechanical, you just never know. Anything can happen. I\u2019ve been circling New York City for three hours in an air traffic control delay on a perfectly clear day because of weather someplace else, system just jammed up. So normally to eliminate all these possibilities you get in there 24 hours in advance. But tomorrow we\u2019re gonna roll the dice. Now, Snerdley\u2019s in there going, ‘No, no, no, I think you ought to follow established procedure.\u2019 Snerdley obviously has something he would rather do tomorrow than screen the program for two hours, right? (laughing) Oh, you\u2019d screen for all three even if I were not here tomorrow? Oh, okay. <\/p>\n

I\u2019ll tell you what\u2019s going to happen. There will probably be some Philly steaks backstage and Nick\u2019s Roast Beef always comes — well, you don\u2019t eat beef. The cheese steaks are great, but there\u2019s nothing better in south Philly than Nick\u2019s Roast Beef. Yes. They even took McNabb\u2019s picture down in there and put my picture up, two years ago, at Nick\u2019s Roast Beef. I think McNabb\u2019s picture is back up now. But, yeah, oh, it\u2019s fabulous, and it\u2019s best if you eat it there. You can take it with you. We\u2019ll probably put a bunch of it on the airplane for the trip home, but they always bring some stuff backstage, too. And the cheese steaks, of course, with Cheez Whiz, not Swiss, as the aristocratic John F. Kerry, who once served in Vietnam, once ordered. He\u2019d have ordered a cheese steak with Grey Poupon and Swiss cheese on the campaign trail. (interruption) They looked at him. They didn\u2019t know what to do. I mean, the cameras were all around.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I got a lot of questions. ‘Rush, why don\u2019t you fly into Philadelphia tonight and do your show from Philadelphia tomorrow?\u2019 It\u2019s a good question. Folks, it\u2019s just tough. You know, remoting a radio show is the easiest thing in the world to do today. You literally can do it from anywhere — except me. Because of my cochlear implant and hearing problems, it takes more than me. It takes more than me and a phone line. It takes a whole bunch of people and stuff. It\u2019s why we don\u2019t do more of it, frankly. We have to take our own equipment with us, what exists in radio stations doesn\u2019t work. It takes a village to do this, and it\u2019s my problem. It\u2019s because of my hearing and the limitations of cochlear implant with modern broadcast technology. So… (interruption) What, Snerdley? It\u2019s the truth. (interruption) I want to explain it because people are going to have questions, and the less I say the more questions they\u2019re going to have. It\u2019s a legitimate question: ‘Why don\u2019t you do your show from Philadelphia noon to three?\u2019 If I could, I would. If it was simple to do. I\u2019d have to bring five people with me. I can\u2019t afford to take \u2019em all to Nick\u2019s Roast Beef and I don\u2019t want to go to Nick\u2019s Roast Beef with all five of them! I mean, there are all kinds of reasons. They all demand the same kind of hotel suite I have. It\u2019s just a hassle, folks, it\u2019s a genuine hassle. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
