Thanks for listening to the Von Hessler Doctrine podcast.

Remember, you can hear the show every weekday from 9 to noon right here on 95.5 WSB, Atlanta's News and Talk.

Live from the heart of Atlanta, Georgia and beyond, hour one of the Von Hesler Doctrine begins right now.

I am your lovable for the time being not so huggable, mid-morning chat host, Eric von Hessler.

The other voices you hear are the doctrinares.

Man of a thousand voices, Tim Andrews, lady of quite a few voices in her own right, Autumn Fisher,

and the handsomest producer in all of producer, Jared Yamamoto.

You know, you say not to hugable there in your intro, but I've seen you giving these

socially distant hugs around the office.

I'm doing what I can.

Actually, I've had a couple of hugs, and I won't say with whom, because I don't want to get

them in trouble.

I've had a couple of actual hugs. Both masked. I don't know how... Hey, listen. I don't say with whom because I don't want to get them in trouble. I've had a couple of actual hugs.

Both masked.

I don't know how, hey listen, I don't know where the outrage police fall there.

Both masked, but I have actually hugged other human beings besides my wife and children.

It finally did happen.

But we did have mask on.

That's the important thing.

Is there any way to turn up my microphone in my ears just a little bit?

That's the important thing.

Hugging is back in my life.
