Ladies and gentlemen of the podcast, I got a little bit of a beef for you.

Father Anthony, you know, is a very busy man.

As an assistant, you know, he's obviously busier than a pastor who also is, you know,

doing a PhD, trying to do a book promotion.

Obviously, he is much busier than I am.

And so because of that, I have to carry the weight yet again this week, yet again.

And so because of him, I've had to bring in outside help this week.

And so I've brought in my friend Matthew Tan, who is a theologian from Australia,

who I've gotten to know through Twitter. We got to meet a couple years ago just before the pandemic,

right, just before the pandemic hit. And we've been good friends ever since. And so welcome to the

podcast, Matthew. Oh, thank you very much, Father Harrison.

It's always nice to be the cheap Asian labor for a podcast.

Oh, my gosh.

But you can say that because you're Asian.

I think. Yes. Not awkward at all.

Not, no. Like now. No. This is not awkward.
