- 0:00Do you want to I five us the Eric Is Show. I'm so excited
- 0:02in Trevor's here with me, but we're so excited to welcome the new CBS
- 0:06seventeen nightly news. Is that don't say it wrong? Seven News at seven
- 0:11write that down, but I don't want to call you out now. It's
- 0:13okay, Well, you know, we just wing it. But I'm very
- 0:16excited because you're kicking off Labor Day Monday. So this is a great way
- 0:20to come back from summer and check out your nightly news News at seven.
- 0:24Oh, they're making you work on Labor Day. It's actually, oh,
- 0:28it's your birthday is actually the sixth, but sometimes falls on Labor Day.
- 0:32Shall we make a call for y'all feels can y'all bump it back? They
- 0:36need okay, we need a new start day Tuesday. Yes, so we
- 0:38have Angela, Rod and Rachel in studio and tell us what to expect with
- 0:44the show and welcome. Why are they pointing me? You know I'm the
- 0:49only one in the suit right Seven pm is a great show because you know,
- 0:54if you work an all day and you don't have time to catch a
- 0:56five or thirty or early news, you get home late, you still get
- 0:59all the news and all the weather you need. And that we have a
- 1:00new segment too, that sports and sixty. I cannot wait to see how
- 1:03this works. It's sixty seconds worth of sports and at sixty seconds a buzzer
- 1:07goes off and he's done, which is amazing, which I don't think is
- 1:11gonna have. I don't think we can ever get worse. To stop talking.
- 1:14That's like asking whether to stay within a three minute time frame, Like
- 1:17we hear that, oh you need to rap, and we're just like I
- 1:19could probably get in a little bit more other information, right, I'll sell
- 1:22you. What I'm most excited about is Rachel Well coming in Monday through Friday.
- 1:26She is fantastic. We only we would normally get her just three days
- 1:30a week because she worked weekends. But now we get her Monday through Friday.
- 1:34And she's got the best personality and she's very very smart, and she's
- 1:38just fun to be around. And I think that the future I know they're
- 1:44gonna love her. She is just fabulous. Literally, we throw anything at
- 1:48her, she can respond, okay. But then y'all should do radio too,
- 1:49because that's how it goes. You can't spot. So Erica just passed
- 1:53me a note. She liked the buzzer idea. So when I talk for
- 1:56too long, she's going to do this to me. Wrap this is radio.
- 2:02You gotta rap, Okay, so real quick. Angela was talking about
- 2:06you're an original OG when it comes to Taylor Swim, I am. And
- 2:08you're looking at go into Toronto, either Toronto, the you can wherever I
- 2:12can get tickets. I want to take my fourteen year old because we're all
- 2:15about making memories, right, you only have one life to live. And
- 2:17so I was so I had Turner, I think she was like six weeks
- 2:22old, and I gave her to dad and said, I'm driving from Avelene,
- 2:24Texas to Dallas so I can go to this concert. Oh yeah,
- 2:29so you really are the og. We have the fearless shirt with her head
- 2:31and her hair, the yellow one, like I have an original and so
- 2:35I feel like, I, you know, like if somebody out there has
- 2:38tickets that they'd like to, you know, like donate, probably even by
- 2:40them, just a little plug. But yes, I have original. Swiftly
- 2:46before she blew up like she is okay, and then Rod, how long
- 2:47have you been here? Two and a half years now, yeah, two
- 2:50years and five months maybe. So you're now to North Carolina into the triangle.

- 4:11a nerd. That's okay to be a nerd. When are we having some
- 4:14more crazy storms come through? Because the one a couple of weeks back or
- 4:16was it last week? Yeah, on Todnesday. Yeah, that was crazy.
- 4:19We couldn't have a few storms later on this week, later on into
- 4:23the weekend. So we'll have to keep an eye on that. I know.
- 4:26Pluses also given me just stupid hot or as I like to say,
- 4:29insert favorite adjective here, Yeah it has inserts. Okay, Now, since
- 4:33you do weather, and do you check every day before you get dressed or
- 4:36you just kind of roll with it? Well, it kind of depends if
- 4:39I've been working before. So if I work the day before, I usually
- 4:42have at least enough of an idea of what to expect. But if it
- 4:44coming off of a weekend or something like I should probably check out what my
- 4:47team put out for the forecast and get myself a quick little idea before I
- 4:50come in. Here's what I love about Rachel. I will be traveling with
