It is Eric Erickson here.

The phone number is 8779773-745.

If you would like to be a part of this year program, you are absolutely welcome to.

I do have to have a brief housekeeping note because of a direct message I got on Twitter from a podcast listener.

I do not, believe it or not, your host does not control the advertising that the podcasting company stick in the podcast, let alone, I mean, the advertising you may hear

on your local radio station. I'm stunned sometimes. I can always call the podcasting people and say,

hey, not an ad that I think should, this one was apparently a plan. Some genius decided that a

Planned Parenthood ad before the start of my podcast was worth it.

I was able to get in and block it.

But I got hate mail, a direct message from a listener who was so disappointed.

I don't control it.

I don't even know.

I have no idea until someone tells me.

So don't send me hate mail.

They were at least apologetic.

But the same thing with your local radio station. I don't send me hate mail they were at least apologetic but the same

thing with your your local radio station i don't control the ads the local radio station does

leave me out of it please um but this one uh if i if somebody tells me and it's the podcast i can at

least call them and say hey the podcast company say hey don, don't run an ad like that in my podcast.

I don't want their money.

But don't accuse me of approving the ads, please.

I'm sorry.
