Welcome to the Eric Erickson Show podcast, Our Two.

Greetings, conversationalists. It's Eric Erickson here. Glad to have you with me. The phone number is 877-97-9-73-7-4-25. Should you wish to be on the program, Happy to have you. I got to begin with a word of thanks, actually, in all sincerity, to the firecracker engineering team at my flagship station, WSP. We were bumped off the satellite for a little bit earlier. They scrambled, were able to diagnose it. It wasn't with them.

It was with the distributor hub out in Denver. They had problems. And just collaboratively,

they were able to get it back together and got to scramble fast when that happened so you don't have a bunch of dead air. Thank you to all of them for getting together and fixing the situation.

God bless them. Now, I got I, I, I, I, I, you know, I promise you. I promise, I promise, I

don't set out to be antagonistic. It's not in my nature to be antagonistic. I'm, I'm, I'm not

one of those people.

But you're going to have to blame Charlie for this because we were talking on the phone before the show.

And he got me fired up and I put it off and put it off, put it off, but it's got to come out now.

And I need to use an analogy some of you aren't going to like.

You're just, you're not going to like it.

You're going to be offended by it.

And I need to do it anyway.

I want to talk about the ugly girl who gets attention.

I know.

I honestly, I'm sure there's something more creative and less crass or some of you will say misogynistic, but y'all, but everybody understands this analogy, the ugly girl who gets attention.

We are the ugly girl. I mean, I look, I see myself in the camera.
