RUSH: Ann in Tallahassee, Florida. It’s great to have you on the EIB Network. Hello.
CALLER: Thanks, Rush. This is great talking to you. On a lighter note, I’ve been eagerly watching your program every Tuesday night, The Haney Project, and I have thoroughly enjoyed it. I’m not a golfer. My husband and I sit down, we watch your show. Anyway, you look great out there. The sad part is you’re making Charles Barkley look bad.
RUSH: (laughing)
CALLER: You’re looking great, and I thought a cute thing to note was Hank Haney was addressing a group of children — or young golfers — and their parents and he was talking about all the hard work he’d done and how he has become who he’s become, and then he asked for questions — substantial questions, I guess — and one of the parents, the first question we heard on the show is, ‘Well, how’s Rush doing?’ So I think you’ve got a lot of fans out there who are watching you progress.
RUSH: Well, I appreciate your comments on that. Yeah, that was the episode last night at Hilton Head.
CALLER: Correct.
RUSH: And he was —
CALLER: Yeah.
RUSH: — he was conducting a youth camp for —
CALLER: Yeah.
RUSH: — young golfers and their parents up there. I saw that. Some guy said, ‘How’s Limbaugh’s game? How’s Limbaugh’s game?’
CALLER: It seems like you two have a great rapport and that you’ve gotten to know each other at least up to this point in the show. Yeah, so… Anyway, I thought it was the best episode so far. Yesterday you sounded like it wasn’t your favorite, but I liked it.
RUSH: Well, let me put that in perspective. It was my ‘least favorite,’ although for a lot of people, it wasn’t. I had a lot of people say, ‘You know, I finally liked this. There was finally some instruction shown in the show last night.’
CALLER: Yeah. Mmm-hmm.
RUSH: In previous shows the instruction hasn’t made the edit cut. There’s been a lot of instruction, but it just hasn’t made the cut. Last night’s show featured a lot of instruction and it was good. I just… I have knowledge that you don’t. I know what was not included in last night’s show.
CALLER: Oh. Mmm-hmm.
RUSH: The show taken by itself from start to finish, not a bad show. When I say it’s my ‘least favorite,’ that’s not a comment on whether I thought it was good or not.
CALLER: Right.
RUSH: Now, the next two… We got two shows to go, Ann.
CALLER: Okay.
RUSH: Next week on Tuesday night is Al Michaels of —
CALLER: Yeah.
RUSH: — NBC Sports playing golf out in Los Angeles. We shot this over two days. Al and I playing one day and Haney comes in the next day, and that’s a good episode. That’s gonna be a good, fun episode to watch. We shot the finale over the weekend down in Cabo San Lucas.
CALLER: Oh, wow.
RUSH: Now, depending on how this thing gets cut and put together, it’s gonna be awesome.
CALLER: Neat.
RUSH: It’s gonna be superb. The problem with this one is that they’ve got so much that they could use. I mean, we’ve got nine hours in the can, counting Saturday and Sunday, and only 22-1/2minutes of it’s gonna air.
CALLER: Right.
RUSH: So it’s a massive editing project, but I think you’re gonna like both of these remaining two episodes.
CALLER: Well, thank you again for all you do, Rush, and you’re in our prayers and we just appreciate the fight.
RUSH: Thank you.
CALLER: The good fight that you’ve fought.
RUSH: Thanks.
CALLER: Thanks so much.
RUSH: I appreciate it. Thanks, Ann. I appreciate your call.
