Welcome to the Eric Mattaxas show.

Ladies and gentlemen, we ask you now to count down from 10, silently, if you don't mind.

And when you get to one, you'll hear one of the greatest voices on this or any other planet.

Three, two, one. Eric Mattaxas!

Hey there, folks, this is the Eric Mattaxas show.

We are going to play a special Socrates in the studio event with Dennis Prager.

Don't forget to go to Socrates in the cityplus.com and subscribe.

Wow. Wow, that is really, that is, man, man, did we record that? I need that. I need that for a boost when I wake up on the rainy days. Thank you very much.

Let me just say, welcome to Socrates in the city and happy holidays.

Okay, listen, it is astonishing to me to think that we've been doing this for 24 years.

And I have to say, looking out, it's just, it's sad to see what it's become.

You know, once upon a time we could really attract big name guests, people who had something,

you know, to say. But here we are. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. It's, what's done is done. There's

no sense in looking backward. We'll get through this together.

But seriously, folks, as you know, I've been looking forward immensely to talking to my friend Dennis Prager. I love Dennis Prager. I love him. And I, and I, and I... I love him... I love him so much and so publicly that his wife, Sue, feels threatened by it. I want to be clear. She's not even here yet, is she? She's not even here. Is she here? Where is she? No, she feels very threatened by what I have with Dennis. And, oh, there she is.

And Sue, let me just say this.

You know, I know that your wife number, what, seven, eight, whatever.

He's the Mickey, the Jewish Mickey Rooney.
