hammerito asked: Hey Erik,
I feel like I can call you Erik because that's what you call yourself. I'm high and listening to the show and I thought I'd message you rather than calling the Frank and Erik Don't Jump hotline.
Anyway, I'm curious like a cat so I needed to know who you were talking about with the whole birthday video gonzo porn male stripper thing. ...

Some guests cry; others faint. The guest on this episode, a well-known national soccer fan, grabbed a big brick and tried to attack soldiers with it.
