Have viewed all of those “health issues” as a kind of devious “Munchausen’s” syndrome for a talk show host, who needs and craves the public audience and his own importance. Diagnostic IOW. The very obscurity of the neurologic “diagnosis” lost me— because the behaviour on air (now with frequent mid-show “stepped out of the studio” periods, speaks of either psychosomatic disorder or craven falsehood to support the meme. Bizarre and possibly directed. His two sidekicks are equally psychophantic.
I think he is still "suffering" from these ailments too. I have not listened in many months but I caught him one morning not too long ago and he was taking time off to fly to some specialist for more testing.I wish I could remember but he was lamenting about his condition whatever it was. I think it was some vague neurological thing.
At the very beginning, when I didn't know he was crazy, I figured he was broaching on some sensitive subjects and was getting a little paranoid. (rightly so) I thought maybe he just wants to go in and make sure nothing is wrong with him, so he'd know if someone administered say, a heart attack drug, on him one night.
But, nope, he's just nuts.
