I think that it's more a pre-Katherine thing. Ever since he got married Rush has been literally "phoning it in". Before he got married he seldom took a call unless it was Open Lines Friday, and on that day he usually only got to four or five calls. Since Katherine arrived, he spends a lot more time trying to sell tea and his books between "getting back to your calls".

It's surly a lot easier to prep for a pack of phone calls than it is to take apart what's going on around the world, and it seems as though Rush is more into spending his prep time with his wife. He's got his contract and he probably is pretty much free to do his show however he wants.

His prep is not the problem. I happen to know (long story) that he has enough prep for 10 shows every day. At least. But I do think Katherine has an impact on him that is not appreciated by his long time listeners - those of us who have “known him” so to speak long before she ever heard of him.

Your pillow buddy matters.....period.

“I think that it’s more a pre-Katherine thing. Ever since he got married Rush has been literally “phoning it in”...”

I agree, she has taught him how to spend his money and he likes it... The show has suffered since this romance started...
