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

The blood-curdling threat of The Blob.

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 the Texas. Folks, welcome to hour two, and what an hour

it promises to be.

Plenty more starting right now with our friend John Zmirak.

At the end of the hour, I talked to the niece of Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

I interviewed her at the NRB.

I guess that was last week. It seems like 100 years ago already.

But a wonderful conversation with Alveda King coming up at the end of the hour. But right now,

we return to our friend, John, I believe it's ZM-I-R-A-K. John, welcome.

Thanks, Eric. You're one of the only people who's ever pronounced my name correct. I was going to say metaxus. I've had problems with that over the years, but it's, Zmirak is tough for people. But we're going to keep at it. It's important that people get it right. John Zmirak. It's not that tough. It's like beetle juices. It's like

beetle juice. If you say it three times, I will appear and messed up your life. So, John, you

wrote a beautiful article a couple days ago about Memorial Day, and we haven't had a chance to

talk about it. But it was really just,

I put it out on social media because it's a primer on American wars, on what wars we fought,

why we fought them, whether we ought to have fought them. I would love to talk about that piece with you, because it was just so important. And again, it's at stream.org. What's the title of it? It's called On Memorial Day, remember, peace is patriotic. On Memorial Day, remember peace is patriotic. So that's Johns Mearek at stream.org. It's an important piece, folks. I really recommend it.
