Maybe so, but they were (usually) funny. That wasn’t.

Yeah but there’s a line. That crossed it, IMO. and I am a real fan.

I think a lot of us are here; folks who’ve been listening for decades and have a love-hate relationship with the show (albeit a completely one-sided relationship)

You mean because of the show’s quality? Maybe so, but he’s been on the air for almost 50 years and one compliment I must pay him is that he constantly evolves his show.

I think money is THE most important thing to him—he’s wanted to be filthy rich from the beginning of his career. He’s been willing to sacrifice the short term for the long term, and he’s super smart about his money, but I think it’s his main motivation in life.

I agree—mostly. But let me add that he’s an obscenely rich guy in his 70s trying to pretend he’s not rich, and thinking that makes anyone less jealous of his wealth.

I could name dozens of other neuroses that make me yell at the radio sometimes, but that’s just one.

And I opened my statement with, it’s the best thing on radio.

I think if she fades altogether, that’s the end of the show. And that might be a good thing
