Welcome to the Eric Erickson Show podcast, Our Three.

Hello, America. Welcome. It is Eric Erickson here across the nation. The phone number is 8779773--25. If you want to be on the program, as always, switching things up here,

confusing my team. I'm not talking about what I was going to talk about. Instead, I'm going to

talk about in a big monologue, something I was going to compress down to a few minutes, but I just feel

strongly about doing it here.

Let me pull the curtain back a little bit.

My flagship station where I originated is WSP Radio in Atlanta, Georgia.

And we have slowly been growing the show nationally. I just extended my time at W.S.B. by three more years through the next presidential cycle and beyond, which I'm glad to do. I started in radio totally by accident in 2011, January 11th, 2011. And now I can't imagine

doing anything else for a living. It's kind of weird to, this is the longest job I've ever had now.

Redstate, redstate.com, the site, I get credit for founding it. I started on day one, but it was actually three friends of mine, Ben Dominic, Mike Grompaski, Josh Trevino, who started Red State. They just brought me in day one, and then they needed a free lawyer to do work, and I was the guy. They put me in charge of it.

And that became the longest job I ever had.

I was a lawyer for six years, five years at a law firm.

It's kind of cool.

My office now where I am.

If you watch the videos, the view behind me is out the window.

Very similar to the view I had as a lawyer in the same building.

And now here I am back in this building where I used to practice law. And now instead of being my law office, it's my radio command center, if you will.

And my fifth year in, a friend of mine, Tripp, who was a lawyer, he's now federal judge's self.

I don't know that he even remembers this.

He came in.

He said, do you know what the definition of a, well, for purposes of radio, I'll say, do you know what the definition of a dumb butt is?

I said no, and he said you.
