Welcome to the Eric Mataxis show.

It's the show that Mark Twain once called,

Smartern, a Blue Jay, what can talk possum,

and faster than a naked fat man riding a bolt of lightning.

So here's your plain spoken

homespun host eric matoxas hey the folks welcome to the eric matoxas show i get to have fun this is not

work i get to talk to my friend and if you weren't listening to me right now i would say one of my

heroes phil robertson phil welcome hey good to be here hey Listening to me right now, I would say one of my heroes, Phil Robertson, Phil, welcome.

Hey, good to be here, Eric.

Think about it, Eric.

Think about something.

I'm down here surrounded.

I have a couple of men brushing duck blinds this morning.

The trees are big giant oak trees. There's deer running in every direction,

squirrels playing in the trees. I hear no hollering, no human beings are in pain. We're down here

in the woods. There's no people, no friction, no friction, none in the streets. There are no streets.

I'm down here. You've been here

before. We're just all camped out here. And it's, what's going on is, listen, love for each other

and our God, joy, peace, patience, kindness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.

That's what's going on here, all the time.

If I had not been there, I would just assume I'm talking with somebody who has gone over

to the other side and that you're in glory,
