Everybody else has a television show. Why don\u2019t you go on television?\u2019 Ladies and gentlemen, I\u2019m going to explain this again because I understand people wanting me to do this kind of thing on television and so forth. I really think that radio done right has more impact than television, or certainly as much. My audience here is larger than any audience in cable TV I\u2019d ever go on or any network I\u2019d go on and have a show. But more importantly it\u2019s just a professional thing. <\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve done television and, frankly, I don\u2019t like it. It\u2019s structured, it is planned, it is orchestrated, it allows for no improv or spontaneity. It\u2019s really just a professional thing. I\u2019ve never had one meeting to do this radio show. I have never sat down an hour before it, the day before it, and called somebody and said, &#8216;I\u2019m going to do this at 1:08:30 tomorrow and I want you to have this ready by that exact time and this is what I\u2019m going to say and I want the microphone in this position and a phone call &#8211;&#8216; and I\u2019ve done this my whole life. Television is one of the most confining, restricting things. When I sit down to actually write, when I\u2019ve tried to write things, writing is very hard for me because my vocabulary shrinks by half. My experience is speaking. My brain is at full 110% speed when I\u2019m speaking. But when I sit down to start writing &#8212; just as an example, I get caught up in the keyboard errors, gotta correct that, lose my train of thought. I can\u2019t type as fast as I can think. I can speak as fast as I can think, and so my experience and training is speaking extemporaneously after having been fully prepared and informed.<\/p>\n<p>But to have to involve ten other people in what I\u2019m going to do drives me nuts. &#8216;Okay, Mr. Director, I\u2019m going to do this, then we\u2019re going to have this picture ready to go at that point in time,\u2019 and I start thinking more about the process than the content. And monologues on television don\u2019t cut it. You gotta have pictures on TV. Radio you can provide the pictures via the host\u2019s talent and the audience\u2019s imagination. TV requires, the audience requires that you show them something. I\u2019ve been inundated with this question today so I felt that I owed people an answer. Also, for those of you who were here <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125112.Par.4584.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"133\" class=\"alignright\"\/>yesterday, you know that I have been invited to participate in the Miss America Pageant in January as a judge, and I asked the audience what they thought of this because the original note from the Miss America Pageant people said it\u2019s a week-long commitment, from January 24th to the 30th, out in Las Vegas. I can\u2019t miss a full week of radio here out judging evening gowns and stuff. And so they got back to me yesterday: &#8216;Whoa, now, wait a minute, we heard Rush was talking about this today.\u2019 I\u2019ll bet they did. &#8216;And we\u2019re more than happy to work the schedule around the broadcast schedule.\u2019 Well, I haven\u2019t made up my mind yet. I got other things I have to ask them about and decide, but they don\u2019t even know what the schedule is. <\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve got a lot of things to batten down, but I\u2019ll be honest with you, one of the things that worried me &#8212; I started using a treadmill now &#8212; I can\u2019t go to a gym in a hotel to use a treadmill. I can\u2019t do things like that in public. I\u2019m too famous. Sit tight, Snerdley. If you\u2019ll let me finish this. I was worried I wouldn\u2019t be able to keep up the exercise regimen. If you don\u2019t keep it up, I mean it kind of all just falls by the wayside. I don\u2019t want to be a prima donna and say bring some equipment into the hotel suite, and I\u2019m not going to go to the hotel gym, I\u2019m too famous to do that sort of thing, but I saw this story, it\u2019s a study, actually, by German scientists, I\u2019m not making this up here. It\u2019s another thing to consider if I do judge the Miss America contest, I won\u2019t have to exercise that week. <\/p>\n<p>&#8216;A study by German scientists showed that 10 minutes a day of ogling women\u2019s breasts by men was as good at warding off heart disease, high blood pressure and stress as 30 minutes of aerobic exercise. The five-year study conducted by Dr. Karen Weatherby, followed 200 men. Those who partook in boob ogling for just 10 minutes a day enjoyed benefits equal to those of 30 minutes of grunting, groaning, sweating and doing push-ups at the gym. Weatherby found that a mere 10-minutes of staring at well-endowed females is roughly the equivalent of a 30-minute aerobics workout, because sexual excitement gets the heart pumping and improves circulation.\u2019 Well, so I have to throw this into the hopper of things that I have to consider. I\u2019m not making it up, folks. It\u2019s right there. Saw it doing show prep last night about 9:15. I got the date, got the time stamp here when I printed it out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: I got a lot of questions from people listening to the show today. &#8216;Rush, why don\u2019t you go on television?
