Hello and welcome. It is Eric Erickson here. The phone number, should you wish to be on this program, 877-9-373-7-425. However, you should know my call screener got summoned to a meeting and is not currently able to take those phone calls, so you'll just have to wait

for his return. I'll let you know when the phone lines are open. I, we got to talk about a

difficult subject. Gosh. You know, sometimes I'm like, I'm going to. object.

You know, sometimes I'm like, I'm going to talk about this topic. We're going to tackle this topic.

And then I get to the topic.

And I'm like, do I really want to talk about this?

Yes.

There are difficult topics.

And I've got to commend David French at the dispatch for talking about this and raising awareness to it.

He's not the only one, but David's background is as a lawyer and he's, listen, I know some of you,

you're like, oh my gosh, why are you talking about David? You just, this is nothing to do with your politics.

You're going to agree with him.

I need to give a parental warning, however, here.

This isn't kid-friendly stuff.

And with apologies to my local broadcasters, local stations,

if you got kids with you, I'm just, I'm warning you,

don't get mad at me, don't call the stations,

I'm giving you an opportunity to go elsewhere.

You yourself probably want to hear this,

but it's just not kid-friendly stuff.

And so I'm going to give you a countdown from five down.

And then we're going to talk about this topic.
