Folks, welcome to the Eric Metaxus show, sponsored by Legacy Precious Metals.

There's never been a better time to invest in precious metals. Visit legacy p.m. Investments.com. Ladies and gentlemen, are you ready to listen to a man of grace, sophistication, integrity, and whimsy?

Well, so are we. But until such a man shows up, please welcome Eric Mat,, Texas. Hey there, welcome to Hour 2. Chris, I'd like to welcome you personally to what I call Hour 2. Thank you. Welcome. Thank you. I don't know where you were in Hour 1. Where were you? I was trying to... Yeah, I don't know. Sometimes I'd just black out. Yeah. but anyway, the point is you're here now and we can talk.

So listen, a couple things.

In this hour, today is Ash Wednesday, except for those in the Eastern Orthodox Communion,

where, you know, every year Easter, that thing is,

sometimes they coincide, but the Greek Orthodox and the other Eastern Orthodox,

they're kind of doing their own thing. So we have, this year, it's a few weeks from now.

Yeah, the Eastern, the Greekreek orthodox there i was reminded one

time that their calendar was different because i was going to church on the upper east side and i passed

a greek restaurant and there was a guy out there roasting an entire lamb on the sidewalk yeah

in a charcoal pit he had set up side of restaurant honestly it smelled amazing and i got I got really excited, but then I was like, wait a second, is this normal? What's happening? What is happening here? And then I realized it's Greek Easter. That's what they do. Well, the Greek Orthodox Church, the Eastern Orthodox Church in general, but the Greek Orthodox Church, they have their own St. Patty's Day. They have their own April Fool's, is often not until the middle of May.

At Valentine's Day, they don't celebrate at all. They spit on it. And so that's just who I am as a Greek person.

Now, would you say the Greeks roast lambs with the same fervor that, you know, Protestants hunt Easter eggs?

You know, it's funny you should bring that up because no. Okay. Okay. Okay. Now, we have,

in a couple of minutes, we're talking to my friend, Bruce Fogarty. You know, folks, I got to tell you,

I always want to help my friends,

and I want to have my friends on the show because I love my friends. But sometimes your friends have an idea that's so amazing. You think, if I didn't know this person and I heard about the idea, I would say, we've got to get this guy on the show. Yeah. So we've had Bruce on before, but he came up with India a number of years ago. He'll talk about it.

It is so profound.

And I hope people listening right now will get involved.

It's Easter crosses.

You'll see.
