Welcome to the Eric Erickson Show podcast, Our Three.

Greetings, conversationalists.

How are you?

The phone number is 877-97-975-7-3-7-4-25.

Should you wish to be on the program program I would be delighted to have you with me be a lot of fun here on the show we got to have a grown-up conversation that we I've been

thinking about this it's been stuck in the back of my mind and I got to to talk about it. But first, I got to say something else. Occasionally I go on CNN, do TV on News Nation.

And I was on with Aaron Burnett last night on CNN.

And I, it just kind of, I don't know, it's a, it's a frustration in my mind when I hear some of the conversations on TV these days that just seem kind of out to lunch and in like this isn't a grown-up conversation.

So, for example, last night, the introductory conversation was on Will Elon Musk be at the cabinet meeting.

Donald Trump had his first cabinet meeting today.

And it really was. It was like a criminology for the media. If he was there, if he wasn't there.

And I just, they asked me about this. So with, with some shows, not every show.

So like, when I do Leland Vittert's show or I do Jake Tapper's show on CNN, I just go on the show, I know the topic, I go in prepared with other shows.
