Great show today with Mama Rulli in studio. The woman is fantastic, and I wish she could be on the show more often!

Which, by the way, it was Fr. Jim that got hosed in Who's More Catholic today: Lino let his mom vote twice! So now we know, the only way Lino can beat Fr. Jim is by using a double-vote!


Anywho, don't know if anyone picked up on this during the show, but is Ryan Stewart gone as we know him? Three things that caught my attention.

1. Lino mentioned that Christine picked out the sound effects today. That's Ryan's job. If Ryan was out sick today, surely it would have been mentioned. Any other time, people who call in sick (I'm staring at you Lou), get ridiculed and called out.

2. Lino, when naming people in the studio, did not mention Ryan at all.

3. Lino did not thank Ryan at the end of the show.

I dunno, with Ryan's non-vocal presence and no mentions of him whatsoever, give me an odd feeling about this. Or maybe I'm just being paranoid. At any rate, Ryan is a good producer, hopefully he returns soon.
