If a stuffed teddy bear decided to vacation at a nuclear plant,
you'd
get Eric, ruler of MAX in the mornings.
Oft described as "hey you" or "you know, the one with the voice",
Eric spends his time doubling as a Michael Moore stand-in. His radio
career began modestly, after deciding to give up his dream of being
the only male contortionist at the Ringling Brothers School for
Flexible Females.
So, Eric felt why
not put his vast array of vocal abilities to good use and become a
DJ.
Some of his early radio jobs included; supplying "closed captioning" and
speaker line cleaning.
Eric took his first job on the air because his parents wanted him
to 'get a haircut and get a real job'. So, having won the 'most realistic Harry Carey impersonation'
contest in Chicago in 1976, a radio station boss said 'sure, we'll give
you a job'.
Of course, job was a codeword for 'janitor'.
thrust into on-air fame when the entire staff of his first Illinois
radio station perished in a freak square dancing gang war and he was
forced to fill the airtime.
If not touring with the Chippendales All-Male Revue, Eric, a product of
Midwestern charm and Illinois splendor, lives most of his life in
seclusion as a retired boy-wonder, with his trusty sidekicks, Andy The
Panda Bear Cat, Princess Tiger Lilly and HRM Chase Kitty.
Eric's hobbies include pointing and laughing, standing, and
inanimate objects. Sometimes, he takes a moment to enjoy a
well-crafted, Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwich.
He holds the rare ability of being able to not only spell the word
antidisestablishmentarianism, but also knows the meaning. He really dreams of becoming a hot dog farmer in the wilds of Iowa. Contrary to popular belief, he is 100% prosthetic.
