Eric wanted me to keep it a secret, but I think it's time you knew the truth.

He was born with a tattoo of Harper marks on his lower back.

Oh, it's faded over time, but at the beach, older people recognize Harpo and laugh and point.

And even weirder, Harper Marks had a tattoo of Eric on his lower back.

And now, that tattoo has come to life.

So, here he is, Eric Mataxis.

Uh-huh, uh-huh.

Right.

That's right. Thank you, Todd. Thank you. Hey, folks, it's the Airfmataxis show. And on this program frequently, I'm able to bring you guests whom I consider genuinely and generally spectacular human beings and friends. Today, one of my favorite people on the planet, the Reverend

John Rankin is my guest. Look, he's right here.

That's a theory.

John, seriously, I am thrilled to have you here. There are plenty of people that are going to

tune in who are going to say, finally, you got Rankin back. We love him. We get tons of

emails. People really, you're one of the crowd favorites, and I'm not kidding. But there are going to be a lot of people watching this now, because we're doing it in TV studio, who are unfamiliar with you. And the first place they should go to look you up is where? T-E-I-I-I-D-org. That's so simple. T-E-I-I-I-D-OG. And that it stands for Theological Education Institute International. T-E-I-I-I-D-OG, John Rankin. Okay, folks, you're going to thank me. Yes, you will. Yes, you will. Can we turn on John's

turns mic up a little bit, or I'm just not hearing him so much. Okay, there's so much to talk about with you,

but can we start with this, with the new book? Yes. Okay. Is it, is it fair to say that I

encouraged you to write this book?

You told me to. Is that true?

Well, we were talking about the fact that you've been pressing me for years to get my books published by someone other than myself.

And I finally understand why publishers resist what I'm doing.
