Welcome to the Eric Erickson Show podcast, Hour 2.

Hello America. Welcome. It is Eric Erickson here across the nation.

The phone number, 877973-725, should you wish to be on the program.

I got to say happy birthday to my buddy Braden, who's been helping me behind the scenes a lot growing this show.

I'm happy, happy.

He hits 30 years old.

He makes me feel old.

I'm 17 years older than him.

My gosh. Okay. I want to talk about something non-political, but before I do that, and I guess it actually is political, but before I do that, I've got to just say. So, you know, my flagship station is Atlanta. It's the airport I go through. I long one day for a good enough radio contract that I can use priority jet.

The private jet carrier, I was able to take a flight of theirs to Las Vegas.

And it's just once you've done private jets, you just do.

But my gosh, there's the story about the wait lines at Hartsfield, Jackson,

two dead mayors International Airport in Atlanta.

And the airport is one of the busiest in the world.

And at this point, if you pay for clear, so for those of you who don't travel regularly,

there's something you can get called TSA Precheck.

And TSA Precheck is like old school pre-9-11 checking your way through the

airport. You don't have to take anything out of your bag. You don't have to take off your shoes and your

belt. You don't have to get a prostate exam. You don't have to do any of that. You just put your

bag on the belt that goes through the machine. You walk

through the standard X-ray machine unless it beeps, then you got to go through the full-body

scanner one. But then you just go on about your business. Well, people pay now to have TSA pre-check.
