Folks, welcome to the Eric Metaxus show, sponsored by Legacy Precious Metals.

There's never been a better time to invest in precious metals.

Visit legacy p.m.investments.com. That's legacy p.m. Investments.com. Welcome to the Eric Metaxus show with your host, Eric Metaxus.

Hey, folks, welcome to Thursday.

You know what Thursday means.

It means that an hour two, we kick it off with an Ask Metaxus segment.

You bring the questions. I bring some answers. I've got all the

answers, but I don't want to share them all the time and seem like I know it all. So I'm going to

pretend to struggle with some of your difficult questions. So that's an hour two today.

We're also speaking with our friends, the Talbot's. We've got our

business segment. We've got a lot of stuff coming up. But the most exciting thing of all,

oh yes, right now, John Smirak, John, welcome. Hey, Eric, I've got two beagles here on my left hand.

I'm fending off, keeping out of the camera, my frame. Well, that's assumed. It's important to have

beagles when you're doing radio. It's important to have beagles just to distract you. You know,

so you just so you come across as natural. See, now, if there are people watching this, I tell

everyone you should go to my website. You should sign up for the

newsletter because you'll see the video. What you just did, John, with that sweet beagle was so cute.

I'm filled up with endorphins. That was the most beautiful thing ever. Once ruined a segment

of the Steve Day's show because I was I was talking very seriously about

the Supreme Court and apropos nothing a beagle jumps on top of me and I hold her in my arms

and continue as if nothing had happened through the whole rest of the show.

It's, I mean, of course Steve Dee says a radio show also, so it doesn't, it doesn't matter, right?
