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

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone, from Sea to shining sea.

This is Albin-Sadeder. I'm here with Chris

Himes. We are happy to be the producers of the Eric Metaxus show. If you're wondering about Eric,

Eric is working on his special recipe for gravy. He will be around in the next segment to read

his squanto story. So this is great. And then after that, we've got some fun facts Friday.

And in hour two, we've got William Federer talking about Thanksgiving, the original Thanksgiving

day and where all of that led to America today. It's really kind of exciting. So these are
