I think everyone has it wrong about why Rush isn’t on today. At the beginning of yesterday’s show, he was discussing with someone (producer?) how Mark Styne had shown up to guest host, but there was some mixup in scheduling because that was news to Rush. (It was a one-way conversation and hard to follow since the other person had no mic.)
Rush felt bad because Mark had set aside this week in his schedule to be there, and Rush mumbled something about how Mark could have gone back to Australia, or something similar. So... Rush said he would go ahead and do the show yesterday, since he had already prepped for it and had stuff he wanted to say, then he’d probably take the rest of the week off so Mark wouldn’t be inconvenienced. That’s what i heard with my own ears!
See my previous reply. Just setting the record straight. No reply necessary.
