Mancow and Jones criticize Hollywood figures like Ron Perlman for celebrating Rush Limbaugh's death. Mancow reflects on Limbaugh's early career insecurities in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, and his rise to immense power. He describes the current radio industry as a "leper colony" run by corporate executives who do not understand the American heartland or the pain of the working class.

Mancow and Jones discuss who might replace Rush Limbaugh in the 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. time slot. Mancow suggests Chris Plant as a strong candidate but doubts corporate owners will hire him. They criticize Howard Stern and Joe Rogan for "selling out" and discuss how media conglomerates like Cumulus and Premier use boring, controllable hosts to maintain a monopoly and suppress populist truth.
