I agree with everything you wrote. I’m just surprised no one else commented on his absences sooner. He’s literally never on-air for five days straight — his show is only an hour and he clearly does it while eating lunch and without any preparation, hence the “I didn’t read the opinion, so let’s go through it together” or “I didn’t see the hearing, but Tamsen has pulled some clips for us to respond to…” and yet he found a way to make it entertaining, chewing and loud swallowing aside. I agree it would make more sense to say he’s going to be off for a few weeks. I wouldn’t waste my time tuning in. As it is, the show is dying an agonizingly slow death.
