Why, hello there. It is Eric Erickson here. It is the third hour of the program. I am delighted to

0:06.3

have you with me. The phone number, if you want to call in, 877-97-9-7-9-7-3-7-4-25. Let's talk about TikTok.

0:18.5

Now, I need you to know something very important. I am in my mid-40s. I am married with

0:28.1

kids. I should not be on TikTok, and I am not. Like Snapchat, no married man in America has any business being on Snapchat. If they are,

0:42.1

they're probably a pervert. Maybe not, but I'm being definitive here. Don't call us and

0:47.8

I'm married and I'm on Snapchat. I don't care. You shouldn't be. You got a wife and kids.

0:53.5

You don't need to be unless you're like,

0:54.8

you got millennial or jinz-eers in your house and they only communicate through Snapchat. Then, okay, you can be on Snapchat if that's your excuse. But you're on there as a married dude and you're seeing stuff. I'm, I'm not on TikTok. Nobody wants to see me do a dance for the camera anyway. When I dance, Richter scales go off.

1:13.5

You just see, you don't want to see it. It's bad. I mean, they call 911. They think I'm having

1:17.4

an up electric fit if I try to dance. You don't want to see it. It's bad. I have no business

1:22.1

being on TikTok. I am on Instagram. I was one of those people who got a blue check mark on Instagram early.

1:29.2

In fact, at my kid's school, I'm super famous because I'm the only one they know with a blue check mark on Instagram.

1:36.2

It's hard to get a blue check mark on Instagram.

1:39.9

Instagram is actually my favorite social media site because I just put up picture, stuff I'm cooking, stuff I'm doing.

2:01.1

Cigars I'm smoking. Places I've been, places I'm going. I like Instagram. It's a way to connect to people. In fact, I went to dinner last night with Vince, who is a home builder in Atlanta, who I got to know him on Instagram. I liked his work. He listened to the show. We started interacting. In fact,

2:07.4

almost every dinner I have been to in the last three months, it's been with people I met off Instagram. I don't mind going out to, now I got to tell you, management would prefer if I stopped

2:14.6

going to dinner with people I meet on Instagram. But, you know, I'm not

2:18.4

meeting women on Instagram and going to dinner. It's just guys. I am increasingly mindful of how

2:23.7

men in particular, particularly people around my age, isolate. They get families and they feel obligated

2:30.0

to be home 24-7 and they don't have any sort of social outlet whatsoever, maybe the golf
