Welcome to the Eric McTaxis show with your host, Eric Metaxus.

Hey there, folks. Welcome. I'm still in California. Nobody knows how this happened. The Pacific

Ocean is right there. It just becomes more beautiful every day. I'm still in California. Nobody knows how this happened. The Pacific Ocean is right there.

It just comes more beautiful every day. I really recommend it as an ocean if you haven't, if you haven't tried it.

There are not a lot of oceans to choose from. I'm familiar with the Atlantic. Now a little bit with the Pacific.

The other oceans, I really can't comment on them, and I apologize.

We're going to get to that as soon as possible.

But we have more pressing matters.

We have the future mayor of New York is going to be on here in a second.

As would be appropriate, he's currently stuck in traffic.

Okay. as would be appropriate, he's currently stuck in traffic. All right, so Chris Heim's, you're sitting in for Albin today.

Right, that's right.

And I, there's so much I need to talk about.

Where do we start?

I mean, first of all, let me say this.

Tonight, I'm speaking in Marietta, California. Tomorrow, I'm speaking in San Diego.

On Friday, I visit the Babylon Bee offices in Upland, California. On Saturday and Sunday, I'm in Thousand Oaks. Like, it's a crazy tour.

It's a book. Or is Atheism Dead? I might have never mentioned it on the program before,

but it's my new book. And the feedback I've been getting has been amazing, but I want to read

an email that I got that is a little strange.

And I think it's important to share everything.

I want to be honest with my audience.
