Welcome to the Eric Erickson Show podcast, Our Three.

Greetings, welcome. It is Eric Erickson here across the nation. The phone number is 87797737-3-7-4-25.

We will be generous with phone calls today, I think, depending on who you are.

Because I'm not going to be here tomorrow.

And I got to talk about the border situation because Title 43 ends tonight at midnight.

But before I do that, I do want to just say, I don't even know who's filling in for me tomorrow, but thank you for whoever it is.

I am a workaholic.

I'll just confess, I love this job. I'm one of those people who has the nightmare that I didn't finish the math class in college and I've got to get my diploma back. I have that dream. And my wife one time told me there's like this is a recurring dream for some people and it actually means something. I can't remember what it is now. But I remember I took my math class in college, required class, and I never went to class at all. I just went in and took the final and I did fine. I've got a B on it, I think. Didn't get an A. I got a B. I know I didn't get a C. Had to be a B. And I just, but I will still, I'm now in my mid-40s and we'll wake up and like, oh my gosh, I don't think I finished that math class. I don't think I graduated from college. And now I wake up and I'm like, what would I do if I didn't do this job? I don't want to go back to being a lawyer. I love this job.

And I do love this job. Getting here and spending three hours a day with you is fantastic. And I built up some wonderful friendships online and on radio and off when I was off on Monday

after expecting to be on. But the microphone broke, I mean, literally broke.

And I couldn't be on radio because I was supposed to do a remote and the microphone was

broken.

I had multiple emails from people.

So, are you okay?

Is everything okay?

I thought you were going to be here.

Yeah, we have that great relationship.

But I need a break.

I have taken days off since spring break.

Spring break was the third week of March, and I have had a day here or there where I have been off, but it's all been work-related.

And there have been a couple days, I won't tell you in, where I haven't actually been here,

but I stayed up until like two
