Hour one of the Von Hessler Doctrine begins right now.

I'm your host, Eric Von Hessler.

But of course, I am not alone, surrounded as always,

by the soon-to-be erstwhile doctrinares if they don't watch their steps.

What's erstwhile, I mean?

Oh, you weren't here that day.

I went over words that don't, the definitions are nothing like what you think they sound like.

Erst-while is what means former.

Isn't that weird?

Erstwhile?

Don't you think of like an erstwhile reporter as one who is like never gives up? Okay, that guy said it yesterday. Yeah, a political correspondent guy said it. Yeah, because he had heard me say it earlier. Well, he's doing a great job then. Well, very nice. I guess I should introduce you people. Tim Andrews is here. Oh, thank goodness. I didn't know who that was.

Yeah, it's kind of confusing. Autumn Fisher is here. Everybody knows who Autumn is. Yeah. We won't get into why. George Clark. That is so talented. That is correct. That's what I did. But I don't want to go that deep. Okay. George Clark is here. and Jared Yamamoto is here.

You were abusing that mic to start the show. I'm not abusing it. You were like, it's not, no, because. You've got to cup it gently. It's supposed to, you know, be stiff like a good mic is. Yeah. And even if I cup it gently, it's supposed to... Every mic is different here. You're manhandling it. This isn't Piedmont Park. That's my style. Yeah. My style is 2 a.m. Piedmont Park. This isn't rough trade studio. This is, you know, you can't teach an old dog new tricks. Try asking the mic what it wants.

Yeah, well, what the mic wants is for me to keep on cupping it.

Believe all mics.

Gently.

What was that thing that, like the 90, what was that the one per, the 99%?

Was that the Occupy people?

Yes.

Mike check!
