Hello there. It is Eric Erikson here. The phone number is 8779373425. If you want to be a part of this year program, I, you know, I really, I, I, I, so here's the thing. I don't actually have anybody do show prep for me.

I actually really genuinely do it myself.

Charlie and Philip throw stuff into a Slack channel where for short segments and stuff,

if there are stories, I may miss because I get so myopic sometimes on the things I'm covering that they can fill in the gaps. But days like this, I struggle with how to carry out the show and where do I put things

and occasionally have to make on the second changes based on what's happening in the news.

And it used to be when I was doing just an evening show for a very

long time, I had like five minutes, throw to traffic, come back for four minutes, go to

commercial, come back for three minutes, and on it went for a couple hours. And now I have time to spread out and do other things

and I'm also not just doing a drive time show in Atlanta, Georgia, but doing a nationwide

show and I know a lot of the stations I'm on don't have extensive resources to be able to

jump in and out of stuff. So I'm trying to do due diligence.

And occasionally, as things are shaping up, I realize, you know what, I'm meant to say this

and I need to say this. So let me give you the lay of the landscape right now. I've got all,

every news channel pulled up. I have this amazing technology in my office.

I rarely ever really use it because I forget that I have it. But I've got on, let's see,

there's the new network called Newsie, which is out of Atlanta, MSNBC, Cheddar News, CBS News,

NBC News, CBS News, NBC News, ABC News, CNBC, uh ms nbc cheddar news cbs news nbc news abc news uh cnbc msnbc nbc uh fox business fox news n n nbx

uh news max uh c span one c span two cSPAN 3, the BBC, a few others.

They're all there.

And I'm watching.

So I know if something big happens, I can let you know.

I will tell you the markets are down, but I want to actually talk to you about something
