[♪ OUTRO MUSIC PLAYING [♪

Welcome to the Eric Potatio Show!

As the announcer of this show, I sometimes ask myself,

to what shall I compare Eric?

Shall I compare him to a summer's day?

Roth wins to shake the darling Bugs of May.

But not Eric, I tell you nothing shakes this guy.

And now here he is, wearing greenlea tarts and a jester's car scope,

Eric Potatio's.

Exit Tom, stage left.

Thank the Lord, this is radio, because I'm embarrassed

about what I'm wearing.

Folks, I have tried to get the guests that I have today

for a long, long time, particularly for Socrates in the city.

If you're unaware of Socrates in the city,

I push you.

I would even bully you to go to SocratesintheCity.com,

where I've had wonderful conversations

with so many wonderful people.

But one person that I've been trying to get,

I was unable to get, is Hadley Arx.

Hadley Arx is an American political scientist.
