Welcome to the Eric Erickson Show podcast, Hour 2.

Howdy, hello. Welcome.

It's Eric Erickson here.

The phone number, if you want to be on the program, 877-97-9-7-3-7-4-25, happy to have you with me.

I've got to talk to you about a subject that's not an easy subject to talk about.

It's not one I want to talk about.

There are, oh, you know, there are plenty of other topics that I could talk about today.

We can move on from what happened in Georgia like, but there's one I feel compelled to talk about it because it actually is a very big story.

And I don't want to talk about this one, but I've got to because it is the news.

I particularly don't want to talk about it because I have teenagers.

I have a, I can't believe she's 17.

My gosh.

I've got a 13 year old who turns 14.

On Friday, he'll be 14 years old.

Can you believe that, Charlie?

Good gracious.

We're all old.

And these last couple of years with teens is somewhat difficult, except mine in Faradus are hermits.

My kids would much prefer to be in their own bed, entertaining themselves at the house than going to strangers' houses, other people's houses and the like.

And sometimes I don't think that's good for my, that isolation in and of itself can be a bad

thing for them.

My son, though, is on his Xbox and one of his very good friends has moved to London.
