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

Oh, my gosh, Albin?

Yes, sir.

I feel like I went like I went to Oz and I just got back and I'm looking up in bed and and you were there and you were there and you were there.

I was a scarecrow. I was a scarecrow. Back from the land of COVID.

And let me just tell you, oh, it's real.

It's real.

I don't want to freak people out, but this is not my original head.

I had to have a head transplant.

Some people can tell that I look a little different, but trust me, this is pretty close.

We, as our guest today, have John Zmirak on, so we've got that to look forward to. But I just wanted to say, I've been, I've been out of Comish,

it's a medical term, for two weeks, practically. I had COVID. I had some complications that are not really related to COVID.

I don't want to get it. I don't want to get too personal. But let's just say it involves

gender reassignment surgery and it's none of your business. So that's not true. That's

what happened. But I but I had COVID and I got the sweats.

And it was really, it's been a lot of fun.

Let me just say it's been a lot of fun.

So I've been, I've been out of commission.

A lot has been going on.

And I want to cover a couple of basic things before we bring on John Zmirak.

So, number one, I have not been out there doing anything.

Obviously, if you're aware that I've not been able to do this show, you realize I've been not doing other interviews.
