That's legacy p.m. Investments.com. Welcome to the Eric Metaxus show.

Did you ever see the movie The Blobs starring Steve McQueen?

The blood-curdling prep of The Blobs.

Well, way back when Eric had a small part in that film,

but they had to cut his scene because the blob was supposed to eat him.

But he kept spitting him out.

Oh, the whole thing was just a disaster.

Anyway, here's the guy who's not always that easy to digest.

Eric Mattaxas!

Hey there, folks.

Welcome to the program.

My name's Eric Mataxis. I'll be the host of the Eric Metaxus show today. And it's really basically miraculous that they were able to find a guy named Eric Metaxus, which is my real name, to host the Eric Metaxus show. I mean, what are the odds of that? It's just hard to figure mathematically.

I have with me, my producer, Chris Heimes, although when I say with me, Chris Heim's, you're with me, but you're not with me.

You're in a car, like in the Smoky Mountains of, is it Virginia someplace?

Yeah, I'm in the Smoky Mountains.

I'm outside of a budget inn and something called the Pink Cadillac Diner.

So you've got this thing called a family and you travel around with them and you kind of got stuck down there.

So you're not with me in the studio today.

But you're just as real in some ways as you are when you're here.
