RUSH: Folks, just chuck it all! You don’t have to watch the State of the Union show tonight. You got me on TV tonight — on The Haney Project, on the Golf Channel — at nine o’clock tonight. And if this episode is what I think it is, those of you who don’t like me are gonna love this episode. This episode tonight was one of two literal boot camp sessions that I had with Hank Haney: One in Dallas and one here in Palm Beach. Both of them were five hours. Not one break — with one club, 7-iron, or an 8-iron. (interruption) Blisters? Hell, yes! I got blisters, scabs, calluses, yes. The… (interruption)

So I’m up there, I’m wearing old El Rushbo home jersey number 1; black Steelers jersey number 1 — and Haney wasn’t even happy with that. He thought I wasn’t taking the game seriously, showing up in a football jersey. Anyway, that’s at nine o’clock tonight on the Golf Channel.
