I agree but Dan does not have the ease and fluid presentation that Rush had. He needs to improve on his voice, hesitation markers and presentation. Rush had an unmatched presentation, Dan needs a lot of work.
Rush also knew how to modulate his sentences and presentation.
I wish I could have told him that he had the best pregnant pause since Jack Benny.
Rush’s uhhhhhh pregnant pauses always cracked me up.
You knew right off he was dubious about some caller’s point or was formulating an incisive retort.
Voice delivery and tone are so key in holding a listening audience.
As for the Long Goodbye and guide hosts, it is time to move on. I am a Rush subscriber. I can troll his archives. But I can’t get the Rush genius on what’s happening today: I miss him and that unique Rush perspective. I mostly listen to Howie Carr, who I enjoy, but Howie does not analyze events - he just has fun with them.
Will Cain’s podcast is pretty good in analyzing and giving perspective. I also think that Jesse Waters would have been a better choice than Bongino. Will give Bongino a chance. Just hope he doesn’t come across as loud-mouthed and insulting to callers as Mark Levin.
