Some radio interviews are conducted where the show host is in a booth separated by glass from the interviewee. Pretty sloppy tech people if they lost the interviewee side, especially because it usually goes straight to a drive these days.

Savage’s old syndication company basically took ten years off Savage’s life, I’m convinced.

He is far more consistent in having a daily show now, compared to then.

Seems much more likely to me that the questions and answers were recorded in different places at different times. This gives the interviewee (and their handlers) much more time to craft their answers. Savage uses this technique a LOT. Don't get me wrong, I very much admire and respect the American Sniper, Chris Kyle. Just mentioning a broadcasting trick of the trade, so to speak.
