Welcome to the Eric Erickson Show podcast, Hour One.

Hello America, welcome. It is Eric Erickson here. The full number is 877-97973-7-3-7-4-25 should you wish to be with me on this year program.

It is a free-for-all for the weekend.

Yes, you can call in about things I might not otherwise be willing to talk about.

And honestly, today would probably be the day to do it considering how little show

prep I've done you know so I I they're actually we got to talk about Kristen Cinema but

let me just just set the lay of the land for you so I'm moving you know I've done the show

now for 11 years I I feel comfortable telling you guys this i think most of you know

um i try to be in studio once or twice a month just i mean you got to keep up with the gossip
