Welcome. It is Eric Erickson here across the United States of America. The phone number is 8779373-745, should you wish to be on the program. Now, those of you on hold, be patient because I got to have a conversation with you. I got to do something. And I think it's important.

You know, I was literally, so Jim, the board up, by the way, I got to, let me, let me

actually say two things real quick before I get out.

Let me do a little bit of housekeeping here.

I don't want to put Jim on the spot here, but Jim's car broke down today.

He was rushed into the office and like the master he is was able to come in.

They had a new computer before him and he had to scramble and get everything up and running

and was able to do it.

And while I will be off tomorrow trying not to lose fingers and toes shooting fireworks, Jim's going to be working. The most dependable, reliable employee that I have, and I want to publicly thank him for doing that, and particularly after today, getting in 10 minutes before the show and suddenly there's a new computer and everything else. My goodness. The other thing is, so many of you during the last hour have asked me how the golf game went yesterday. So if any of you know, T.C. Whitaker in Atlanta, yeah, I'm going to use his full name. And I had a blast. So I'd never met the guy before. My buddy Jason, Dees is a pastor at Christ Church in Christ Covenant in Atlanta,

invited me to go play golf and I thought it was going to be the two of us.

Whenever I get invited to do something like that,

I am entirely apprehensive because, oh my gosh,

I'm going to spend the next several hours having to talk politics and radio,

and I'm just all I want to do is relax.

I don't want to talk shop. And I've learned over the years, my real friends are the friends

who never want to talk about politics. They just want to talk about life and family and other

stuff. And friends of the guy on the radio are the ones who only want to talk about politics.

And so show up and we're at the capital city club in

Brookhaven, which is a beautiful golf course in the city, absolutely fantastic. Man, I wish I could

get into that grill in the men's locker room. So you go into this locker room and behind the locker

room is a men's only restaurant. You can, they got a great bourbon selection. They got the Wall Street Journal and they got comfy chairs. You can sit and grab a sandwich. It was great. Man, I loved that setup. But TC had no idea who I was and I loved it. We played for four hours. I was terrible. Although I did par one hole talking on my cell phone to Charlie and putted and with one hand and made par. But I'm a bad golfer, but they didn't. It was nice. I needed it. Anyway, all that say, thank you to TC for setting that up publicly. He had no idea who I was and that was fantastic. I didn't have to talk politics. They didn't have to talk about radio. We just had a good time and enjoyed each other's company. Now, now that I've, I've said all that. I need to get to this.

Jim couldn't hear me when I started this hour because I was tweeting and not talking to you guys. And what I was tweeting was this.
