Hey, thanks for listening to the Von Hessler Doctrine podcast.

Remember, you can hear the radio show live weekdays, 9 to noon, on News 955 and AM 750,

WSB.

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 Hesler, surrounded by my friends, the doctrinaires, Tim Andrews is here, Autumn Fisher is here, and of course, Jared Yamamoto is here. Good morning. Can I speak for, well, I'm assuming I'm speaking for just about everybody. You got just about everybody over here, that's who I'm speaking for. And who am I speaking to? The idiots.

So, speaking in favor of just about everybody,

How is it possible that in 2019, a hot air balloon spotting causes a traffic backup on 400?

Are people still, do people not see hot air balloons?

What's going on?

What's that thing?

Is there some sort of propulsion method?

I don't understand. They're just doing it

with gas? How are them things hanging up there? Like, as if they've never seen a hot air balloon.

I understand that it's interesting on a morning to see a hot air balloon on your way to work,

but I would think in 2019 you'd look up, you'd say, oh, hot air balloon, that's nice. No need to take your foot off the gas or hit the break or be startled in any way.

I would think it's a hot air balloon.

Keep on moving, people.

I ain't never seen one now.

Antonio Brown used one to propel himself into Raiders camp for heaven's six.

It's not that big of a deal.

Well, this weekend, Eric, you've got the big Atlanta balloon glow in Piedmont Park, which is basically a hot air balloon festival.
