Welcome to the Eric Mettaxas show with your host, Eric Mettaxas.

Hey there, folks. Albin, I thought of a joke this morning.

Oh, great.

A joke that I came up with a long time ago. By the way, speaking of jokes, tomorrow, we have Victoria Jackson on the program. We pre-recorded it, ladies and gentlemen, because I'll be in Chattanooga tomorrow. I'm speaking at a church this weekend in Chattanooga, but we pre-recorded with Victoria Jackson, and she is, I guess I don't want to spoil it,

but don't miss it tomorrow. You want to watch the video if you can. So you obviously want to

sign up for the newsletter, Eric Mataxis.com. And check out Rumble right now and see the interview.

And Rumble, yeah. And also, right after this segment, we've got Pastor Greg Locke from Nashville.

He's amazing, talking about cancel culture.

He's a hero.

In our two, we have Ask Metaxus, where I get to answer some questions that you have sent us.

And you'll see.

I got answers. and then uh we're

going to uh replay my interview with pastor chae on uh from a few weeks ago but here's the joke okay

some people know what socrates in the city is if you haven't gone to the website website, go to Socrates in the city.com. By the way, I'm ready for a spit take here. A spit take, don't do it. There was a, when I used to introduce Socrates in the city, people would come to these events. And by the way, we're going to do more in the spring. We're trying to get that set up. People come come to these fancy events, and maybe they don't know why is it called Socrates in the city.

So I said the reason it's called that is because Socrates famously said the unexamined life is not worth living.

And then he blew his brains out in an alley.

Something like that.

Okay.

I swallowed the water, so I wouldn't. But anyway, I just thought sometimes random stuff comes into your head this morning. I thought of that. I thought, that was like, I came up with that like 12 years ago and it popped into my head. Yeah. I just think the idea that you take this hopeful thing, the unexamined life is not worth living. Instead of saying, yeah, let's lead an examined life, you just go, it's not worth it. And

you blew his brains out in an alley, in an alley folks, Socrates, in an alley with a gun. Okay,

we should mention this. Today is 26 days till the launch of my book. Wow. Is atheism dead?

This is like an Advent calendar.
