After today, there’s only one more show left. Yesterday, Marc said he was worried that he wouldn’t be able to hold it together on Friday, and that he’d start crying on the air. I almost lost it, just hearing him say that.

After the 2004 “election,” I couldn’t watch TV, I couldn’t listen to the radio, and I would turn the other way if I saw even the hint of a newspaper. Didn’t wanna see it, didn’t wanna hear it – didn’t even wanna think it.

The only thing that I could listen to was Marc & Mark on Morning Sedition. As pissed off and bummed out as I was, they could still make me laugh, and I knew they felt the same way I did. So it was like hanging out with friends who understood – they “got” it. So they were allowed to talk about it.

If there’s anybody out there who doesn’t feel the same way – who doesn’t get how somebody could care about a radio show and come to think of a group of strangers as friends – family, even – well, I feel sorry for you. Because, as shitty as this is right now, it’s been one hell of a ride, and I thank everyone involved with Morning Sedition for getting up in the middle of the night, giving up a normal family life, and consistently putting on the best radio program of all time. See, if I didn’t care so much now, I wouldn’t have enjoyed the last 20 months as much as I have.

Enjoy these last two shows folks. You’ll never get anything like them again.
