Welcome to the ErickMate axis show.

It's the show everyone's talking about, but there really should be listening to it.

This is the ErickMate axis show.

Your host, ErickMate axis.

Wow. What a coincidence that my name is ErickMate axis.

And this is the ErickMate axis show.

I guess the name the ErickMate axis show had not been taken.

And I thought since my name is ErickMate axis, let's grab it and just see what happens.

And so far so good.

We've been doing this a little bit over three years.

If you've been listening to this program, you're very aware that we wrap our arms around a number of charities and organizations that we believe in.

And then we ask you the listener for money.

If you don't like that, the only response I can give you is I'm sorry and or tough luck.

Because basically the whole reason I do this program is to promote what I think is great stuff.

Whether it's something that's really funny or important or controversial or whatever.

And one of the organizations that I've known about since my wife told me early in our marriage that she's writing checks to them.

Because she's been doing that before she got married.

It's called Open Doors.

Now you know that if you listen to this program, we've done campaigns with open doors before.

But we're kicking one off as you know this week.

And I thought I need to talk to the head of open doors, David Curry.

Because he's the one behind this whole thing.
