Welcome to the Eric Erickson Show podcast, Our 2.

Hello America.

Welcome.

It's Eric Erickson here across the nation.

The phone number is 877-973-725. If you text the word Eric, my name, and for those of you

new to the program, spells a little differently, E-R-I-C-K, not just E-R-I-C-K, text Eric, E-R-C-K to 33 33-777. If you click the first link, you will get my daily show notes email, all the stuff I talk about on the show and then some. We send it out at noon every day right when the show starts. And also, in the mornings, I tend to have a piece out. You should subscribe. But also if you text Eric to 33777,

you get all the other links, social media links. You can find me on Instagram, on Twitter, YouTube, Facebook, you name it, everywhere.

Now, I do want to do something because I am mindful. I have a number of new stations that have come online.

For those of you who have been a been longtime listeners, I should tell you,

I have signed an agreement for a national syndication. And we've already spread out around the country.

We're in Montana and Oregon and Arizona and Nevada and the like. Some just runners on the weekend,

have some stations expanding but we've

got a lot of new stations coming online for us and so just real quick for those of you who are

new and you're wondering who the hell is this guy and where's the guy who was here last week

I live in Macon, Georgia, grew up in Dubai.

I have a somewhat interesting background, I guess you could say, because I actually, when I was five years old, my dad's company worked for an oil company.

They basically said, pick one of these countries to go to or go out of a job.

And so he picked one and they said, okay, pick another one. Okay. All right. So you're going to Dubai. So when I was five, my family packed up. We moved to Dubai and we came back to the States when I was 15. We'd come home during the summer for a couple of months. But otherwise we lived in Dubai. And the weird cool thing about it was every few months, our visas would expire and we had to pick a

place to go so I've still been to more countries than states I've actually got an

opportunity to go to Kentucky in another month and I've never been to Kentucky before

ready to go to Kentucky I want to hit the bourbon trail take my golf clubs hit the

bourbon trail but anyway so went to school in Macon, Georgia, stayed, met my wife. We got married, wanted to work in Washington in politics and said I stayed making making and flew around the country running political races, being a lawyer, fell into TV and then radio by accident. here I am now talking to you guys nationwide.
