Welcome to the Eric Erickson Show podcast, Our Three.

Greetings conversationalists. I hope you're having a great day. It is a busy news day here and around the world with things happening, trying to keep you abreast of everything and have a lot more to talk about as well as your phone calls.

877-97-973-7-425 is the number. I've done a bit of a disservice to the callers because there has been a lot to get through and say today and a lot of breaking

news, including that which is happening right now, the House of Representatives is about to

get in the chamber and begin voting on Speaker of the House, Republicans putting up Steve

Scalise. I do, however, I want to begin this hour with a couple of phone calls because I was headed

in this direction and so I'm going to allow Philip to set the stage here.

Well, I actually, Phil is waiting a while to set the stage on this, but I have to

Philip get you here and I got to ask you a question before you're allowed to speak and you

need to answer this question wisely. You've got to answer this question wisely. Are you or have you ever

been a Tennessee Volunteers fan? No, sir. Okay. Thank God. All right. Bread and fled Georgia Bulldog.

All right. You can talk all day then because I had to make sure this isn't the fill of

who works for me doing some sort of backdoor ruse to get on air.

And that's the question because he could never deny his sad, sad support for the

volunteers.

You talk to my brother all the time, Pierce.

Oh, yeah.

Nice.

Yeah. Pierce is my brother.

He's younger than me.

Well, welcome, Philip.

All right.
