| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Eric Metaxa show. |
| 0:12.2 | They say it's a thin line between love and hate, but we're working every day to thicken that line, or at least make it a double or triple line. |
| 0:20.6 | Now here's your line jumping host, Eric Mattaxas. |
| 0:26.8 | Hey there, folks. |
| 0:27.5 | Welcome to hour two. |
| 0:28.7 | Today is the 23rd of July. |
