It\u2019s my favorite part of the whole show, seriously. The EIB High Note is about an event like no other, and it began with a phone call from a guy named Dan.<\/p>\n<p>DAN: Hello to Dan Hubbard in Dallas, Oregon, who turned me on to the show.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-397540\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/APP-20201-051421-Dans-Bake-Sale-128.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/APP-20201-051421-Dans-Bake-Sale-128.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/APP-20201-051421-Dans-Bake-Sale-128-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/APP-20201-051421-Dans-Bake-Sale-128-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>DAN: And thanks for sending me his used <a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/join-rush-247\/\">Limbaugh Letters<\/a>, since I can\u2019t afford a subscription yet.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Wait a minute. He\u2019s sending you his used Limbaugh Letters?<\/p>\n<p>DAN: Well, Xeroxed copies.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I\u2019ll tell you what we\u2019ll do. We will send you a subscription and charge it to our production budget. We\u2019ll take it out of Johnny Donovan\u2019s budget. (laughing) Hang on, can you?<\/p>\n<p>DAN: Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Don\u2019t go away. I\u2019ll tell you what. I\u2019ll tell you what let\u2019s do. I\u2019ve got a better idea. Dan, are you still there?<\/p>\n<p>DAN: Yeah, I\u2019m still here.<\/p>\n<div id=\"zype_5e4eabb565355500016c575b\"><\/div>\n<p><script src=\"https:\/\/player.zype.com\/embed\/5e4eabb565355500016c575b.js?api_key=6yUf3WZePk78GtpC3BXdZSqZ5ma_gYmV_rEJ8OYJZ0wq3AlDKM2RFnOcBN0xiMco&#038;controls=true\" type=\"text\/javascript\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Okay.

Are you married?<\/p>\n<p>DAN: Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Does your wife bake?<\/p>\n<p>DAN: Well, yeah, but she hates your show. That\u2019s another reason I can\u2019t get The Letter. She won\u2019t let us put the finances to it.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-397530\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/APP-20201-051421-Dans-Bake-Sale-118.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/APP-20201-051421-Dans-Bake-Sale-118.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/APP-20201-051421-Dans-Bake-Sale-118-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/APP-20201-051421-Dans-Bake-Sale-118-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>RUSH: Then it is up to you to go out and earn money independently from your wife. So have her bake some stuff and don\u2019t tell her why. This is a great way to get even, bake some stuff. Also, for this to work, your friend is going to have to stop enabling you. Your friend is going to have to stop making copies of The Limbaugh Letter and sending them to you.<\/p>\n<p>Now, I\u2019m serious about this. I want you to get the bake sale, the baked goods; I want you to put \u2019em on display wherever you work or wherever you want to do this. You\u2019re out there raising money. Have somebody take a picture of it so that we know you\u2019ve done it. We\u2019ll put a picture in the newsletter of you showing how hard you worked based upon the desire you felt to have a subscription. You will appreciate it so much more than if we just acted sorry for you and gave you a subscription.<\/p>\n<p>BRETT: The Limbaugh Letter was the spark that ignited, not only a movement, but an unforgettable day in Fort Collins, Colorado. Tomorrow, the editrix, Diana Schneider, and creative director, Denise Mei, will be joining the show to give us an update on what\u2019s going on over at <a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/join-rush-247\/\">The Limbaugh Letter<\/a> and share their firsthand account of being at Dan\u2019s Bake Sale.
