| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome. It is Eric Erickson here. The Eric Erickson Show across the nation. |
| 0:05.4 | Glad to have you with me. The phone number is 877973-725 if you want to be on this program. |
| 0:14.4 | We have to begin in Kansas. We'll see if I can make it through this without sneezing. |
