0:00.0	You made it weird. You made it weird. What's happening weird for me? Because this is an exciting one for me because this is one of my absolute heroes in my life, one of my
0:22.1	great teachers and a dear friend and the author of, now it's four, four of my absolute
0:28.5	favorite books in the world. If you were looking for a book that, it's a great audio book, by the
0:32.9	way, that opens your heart and just makes you feel connected and there's deep stuff, touching stuff,
0:40.8	but it also just is brimming with hope and joy.
0:44.9	His new book is called Cherished Belonging.
0:47.2	The others are tattoos on the heart, barking to the choir.
0:51.7	Something like that.
1:11.6	And the whole language. I'm pretty sure it's barking to the choir. Anyway, they're all great. Look up Greg Boyle books. And the newest one is his best one. It's called Cherish Belonging. I absolutely love it. Check it out. So happy that you're here. Not much to plug up top. I'm going to be in St. Louis this weekend, if you're hearing this, the day it came out, followed by Los Angeles. We have Cleveland, we have Miami, we have Chicago, we have Pittsburgh, we have New York, New York, we have New Jersey, we have Milwaukee, we have Brea, and we have Royal Oak, Michigan. All of those are available on petechomes.com. Hope to see you out on
1:28.2	the road. And thanks to everybody who came out to Spokane. I now know how to say it. It's Spokane,
1:33.6	not Spokane. Anyway, also one very earnest and sincere thing to plug up here, Homeboy Industries,
1:40.3	which is the organization that Father Greg founded is an incredible charity.
1:45.6	Whenever I do any sort of charity work, it's to raise money for Homeboy.
1:49.9	So please consider making a donation.
1:52.5	Even if it's a small donation, you can go to Homeboy Industries.org.
1:56.4	The work they do is life-changing and just unbelievably beautiful. So please consider making a donation
2:02.8	to Homeboy Industries. And in the meantime, enjoy my chat with the wonderful father, Greg Boyle.
2:09.9	Get into it. Can we start? Do you mind? It's funny that you asked me about touring because
2:15.2	my whole life, I've been very uptight.
2:19.7	I wasn't planning on bringing this up to you.
2:21.6	And obviously, I want to start by saying how great it is to see you.
2:24.7	But when I talk about touring, I have a real wound there.
