Welcome back, friends. This is the Drew Mariani show. Patrick Conley, host of the Inner Life, sitting in for Drew.

But I'm also joined by Doug Hindra of Marriage on Higrid.

Timri Jaja, from Trending with Timery. And now just joining us is Patrick Madrid. And I think your show is called The Patrick Madrid Show. I've heard he called that, yes. Yes. That's right. Well, that's good. Well, Patrick, thank you for joining us, and it's great to have you with us. We've been talking. Two Patrick's. Two Patrick, side by side, just to my right here, for those of you who can't see us.

But yes, it's good to have you with us. We've been talking to Patrick's. Two Patrick's side by side, just to my right here, for those of you who can't see us. But yes, it's good to be side by side in the Eucharist, in the Eucharistic Congress as well. We are coming, of course, live from the 10th National Eucharistic Congress right here in Indianapolis. Patrick, a lot of the things that we've been talking about that Doug Timery and I have been throwing back and forth are about our impressions of the Congress thus far, kind of what we've taken in, what we've observed, what we've noticed.

Anything you want to jump in on there?

Well, yeah, during the break just now, we were chatting a little bit, and all of it's been wonderful. I'm sure that we could tell stories for hours.

For me, one of the things that really stands out is meeting all of you,

all the relevant radio listeners, being in private conversations,

being in groups, being together yesterday for the breakout session,

and just experiencing yet again how much love so many of our listeners have for relevant

radio and that to me is just a beautiful meaningful experience and I love meeting you I love

seeing you and as I said during my talk yesterday when I do the show I'm alone in a room I don't

see anybody other than Cyrus I don't mind alone in a room. I don't see anybody other than Cyrus. I don't mind seeing

Cyrus, but I mean, I don't see the audience. So for me, it's great to be able to put a face to

an idea. Speaking of which, I had a little conversation with Cyrus, and he was saying that

you've made him pretty popular. He has been very popular here.

It's amazing. His meteoric rise to stardom is just amazing. Yeah, and he deserves every bit of it

because he's very talented, and I hope he's not around right now. But no, Cyrus is very talented,

and he brings a lot of zing to the show, wouldn't you say?

Yeah, he really does. He said something earlier. He said people are showing up and they're saying, oh, you're not what I thought you looked like. You're older. He's like, sorry. That's right. That's right. Always the impressions that you get when you're doing radio. I always feel when I meet somebody and they say, oh yeah, they're putting a face to a voice, right?

I'm a little bit, like I feel like I should apologize. That's kind of what I'm feeling like. They all think I'm tall and blonde. Oh, really? Okay, all right. I hear that too, that I sound much taller on the radio. And blonder? No, not blonder.

I haven't heard that.
