The following program is pre-recorded.

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

Alvin, yes, sir.

This is a, this is a segment called Ask Metaxus. I just realized I am Metaxus. So you ask me the questions. These questions have been sent into us by you, the viewers and listeners to this program on Instagram. We got a ton of all. We got a lot of questions. Yeah, here we go. And before we get to our guests, I'm going to try to answer as many of these as I can and go. Okay, one. Who gave you your wicked sense of humor? The comedian soupy sales. Oh, good. No, that's not true. No? My sense, I write about this in my book, Fish Out of Water. My, this is true. the German side, my mother and my grandma, my grandmother was hilarious.

And my mother, my Tanta Eleanor, it was constant joking with them.

And I realized that I got most of it from them.

Now, my cousin, Yangos in Greece and my dad, they have their own sense of humor, but it's really bizarre that most of that constant joking kind of comes from them.

Again, I write about it in the book in detail, but that's true.

That was the culture hanging out with my mom and my

grandmother and just, we'd watch TV and make fun of the people on TV. That's great. Okay. Second question,

do you have any suggestions for unbiased browsers or search engines? Not really, although Bing.com or

duck, duck, duck, go, either of those, Bing or Duck, Duck. Yeah, my, my wife or Duck, Duck, Duck, Go, either of those, Bing or Duck,

Doe.

Yeah, my wife uses Duck, Duck, Go.

Okay, are you planning or on writing another biography on a historical figure, and if so,

who?

I'm not, because I think, you know, a lot of times people come up to me in book signing lines and they say, hey, I got an idea for a book and you're like, okay, like it'll cost you like five seconds of your life. It will cost me two years or three years of my life to write the book. So it has to rise to the level where I think people are going to read it. People are going to buy it. It's a lot of my time. So if it doesn't sell a certain amount, so I can write about an obscure figure and nobody's interested. So it's hard to write a biography.

I really have to feel God calling me to write a biography. So right now, I don't feel the calling.

Don't you have seven more women in the pipeline? Seven more women is in the pipeline.

Seven more men is out. Yeah, there he go. Okay. Do you ever imagine you'd be an, or did you ever

imagine you'd be an advocate for free speech? That is the, that's the easiest know of my life.

The idea, I never imagined that free speech would be threatened in the United States of America.
