Rush Limbaugh - Behind The Golden EIB Microphone (1996)

[@Timahcs2]

I miss this man so much!! ❤️😥😭

[@weshawkins7165]

Missing Rush every day.

[@guymann4016]

I miss my buddy. I really wish they’d release the EIB archive for subscription.

[@Samuel_SGS]

That would be great. I have probably most of the last decade recorded off various station webstreams at home, but Rush's earlier work would be great to hear.

[@toddmansthompson]

Thank you for posting this insight to Excellence in Broadcasting. The folks that miss Rush are legion.😥

[@richardstewart5703]

Rush was the very best

[@pattygimlin32]

I miss Rush!

[@tritontransport]

🤗 talent on loan from god. Sadly god took the loan back too soon but he left without regret and courage. I hope I can leave the world the same way he did, that meaning with no regrets and courage until the end

[@billdecicco7501]

We need him now more than ever. Miss you Rush..

[@rickwrightson2356]

It’s amazing what Rush did for truth. Let’s hope his path maker efforts weren’t in vain

[@TimothyBarrymusic]

I spent over 30 years listening to Rush virtually every day, and I loved every minute of it! We miss you buddy! RIP!

[@daviddancy6854]

What a generational inspiration of our time,we miss you Rush,thanks for the memories and inspiration

[@mikehilbert9349]

The first time i heard Rush Limbaugh on the radio back in 1988, I was shocked to hear that other people thought the way I did.

[@torturedGenius73]

Dittos dear Rush. This is very cool, behind the scenes.

[@harrycgrace4504]

[@albertdesilva2087]

[@jrpfingsten]

[@jimparker7778]

There will never be another

[@esotericjahanist]

[@deborahgrecco7477]

[@trublu71]

I miss Rush! He was a catalyst in my conversion to conservative thought!

2:26 Love the 1990s-vintage faxes

It's so sad that both Rush and Kit Karson are both gone from cancer.

[@kevincosma7945]

I can't think of anyone outside of my family, who I have missed more than Rush Limbaugh. There is hardly a day that goes by that I don't think of him. And when events happen in our world, I wonder to myself, " what would Rush say?" I have been very disappointed with the two men they replaced him with on his show. I think Tucker Carlson would have been a much better choice.

[@Samuel_SGS]

Same here. I often wonder what Rush would make of current events, and miss having his narration of the day in the background of my life. I haven't really listed to much of Buck Sexton and Clay Travis (although I didn't mind when Buck would fill in for Glenn Beck years ago, it was actually better than listening to Beck usually) but I've found Todd Starnes in the same time slot as Rush was has a similar wit about him and does a pretty decent job of filling the void. Rush is irreplaceable though.

[@raysteinhoff268]

Awesome American, miss his humor so much, God bless Rush! Trump 2024 🇺🇸

[@johnhoward3042]

I believe the show began with a music bed at 06:30 after the hour.

[@Samuel_SGS]

It did indeed. "My City Was Gone" by The Pretenders. Chrissie Hyde tried to stop Rush from using it as her politics were opposed to Rush's but in the end was more than happy to let it run and get the royalties from it being played three times a day on hundreds of radio stations across the country.

[@captaintor7920]

How did you get this? Loved Rush!

[@Samuel_SGS]

The VHS was being sold on eBay some years ago. I don't know if the person I bought it from was the original recipient of the video in Rush's mailout to Limbaugh Letter subscribers or if the video had been through a few hands first. The playback quality indicates to me that it had been played quite a few times before I received it!

[@hmp4521]

Seeing him smoke a cigar is so sad, he’d still be behind the golden EIB mic if he just stopped. But the headphones are crazy even though it’s the 90s I would think he would have a more sophisticated technological advanced pair versus dollar store ones.

[@Samuel_SGS]

As someone who has been around radio stations, I can say that often cheaper headphones do the job just as well for standard radio work. You're going to be taking them on and off so many times that they will fall apart regardless of how expensive they are, so you're better off going for what's comfortable over what's expensive. For me, wearing glasses, a lot of the more expensive headphones just sit too tightly over my glasses and start to hurt after a while, no matter how much I adjust them. A lot of cheaper headphones I can put up with for longer.

[@skeeternash]

Those were Sennheiser headphones, and they were NOT ‘cheap!’ I had a pair I used on the air back in the 1980s. Rush wasn’t hearing the actual over-the-air audio we heard on the radio, because there was a profanity delay. When I was using those headphones, I was hearing the over -the-air signal (post-audio processing), and the open foam rubber ear pads allows sound to leak into the microphone, causing feedback. I have used full over-the-ear headphones since the Sennheisers went bad, and I don’t experience feedback anymore.

[@kidsloveit2]

who are the three on the other side of the glass? I guess two are Kit and Bo Snerdley??

[@craigoutdoors30]

Keep watching, he introduces them.

[@Spillers72]

Sort of like substance or patron before they existed.

[@altonbaker2126]

I guess God got tired of this heathen and sent him to Rush's fake God, Cesare Borgia. 😂
