| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome. It is Eric Erickson here, the Eric Erickson Show, across the nation from my |
| 0:05.9 | flagship station, WSB in Atlanta, Georgia, where I actually am sitting. I have a charity event I do |
| 0:12.7 | every year to raise money for children's health care of Atlanta, where I auction off the right to |
| 0:17.6 | drink from my bourbon collection. I have a very large, very large |
| 0:22.0 | bourbon collection. And so it's larger than anything I can drink. So I round up select |
| 0:28.1 | bottles and bring them up to Atlanta and allow people to drink from them. So I can tell you |
| 0:34.2 | there's a, what they're getting tonight is Blanton's Jefferson Reserve, |
| 0:42.3 | Jefferson's Ocean, Four Roses Single Burrell, Four Roses Small Batch, and there's a Buffalo |

| 1:36.6 | that Stacey Abrams is going to run for governor of Georgia. And I'm sure there are people in |
| 1:41.4 | Idaho who are like, why the hell do I care that Stacey Abrams is running |
| 1:45.8 | for governor? Because the news media wants you to care. Say it with me, people. You will be made to |
| 1:52.0 | care. They've got to have a celebrity in 2022 and Stacey Abrams is their celebrity. |
| 2:03.8 | So that's what they will do. |
| 2:14.3 | Now, for those of you nationally who are not like me in Georgia, let me set the stage of this for you, because I find this to be the most interesting thing. |
| 2:19.6 | And it is the thing most of the national press can't grasp because they're not in the state. Atlanta, Georgia, has been having a major mayoral election. Kisha |
