Live from Sherwood Forest in the heart of Atlanta, Georgia, hour one of the Von Hesler

Doctrine starts right now. I am your lovable, huggable, mid-morning chat host, Eric von Hessler,

and my lovable minions have surrounded me.

We call them the doctrinares.

Tim Andrews, Autumn Fisher, and my extraordinary.

That's two words smushed together.

Let's not forget, extra and ordinary.

My extraordinary producer, J. Rad himself, Jared Yamamoto. You're making

me blush this morning, Eric. Wow. This nice thing I think you've ever said to me. Well, I've told you

many times that I find you to be in the top 15, 20 producers I've ever had in my career. What an honor.

I say this a lot. You have been doing radio since before I was

born. All right. Are you going after me is ageism? That sounds like ages to me. Could you get

some, HR? Can I get some HR? Hello? Yes, this is Diane and yes. My producer, pretty good producer,

one of the best 15 or 20 that I've had. My producer is...

Wait, you don't even have to say, I know it's Jared. It's Jared, yes. He, well, you get a lot of calls.

Let me get the big file out. Hold on. You got a lot of calls. He, I believe, has engaged in,

what I would consider ageism, because I'm, I'm the old double nickel. I'm 55.

55.

Yeah.

Thank you.

And my producer, he just turned 30.

And so he uses that against me quite a bit in very snarky ways.
