You could have recorded all that great conversation that you and father had together when you guys were being really chummy earlier.

Not that I noticed. Not that I noticed. I'm not jealous at all. I'm fine. I'm over it. Never in my life. Patrick's been jealous of me plenty of times publicly. But I never get to talk about how often I get to be jealous of Patrick.

It's fair.

Welcome to The Crunch.

The Only Podcasts that I'll leave the light on for you.

It's your boy, Ethan. And I'm Patrick. And oh my gosh, I'm so excited for our guests today. I have to introduce, I have to introduce him. And it gives me great honor. I'm greatly honored to be able to introduce my longtime friend, Father Blake Britain. I've known him since he was in my phone as seminarian, Blake Britain. because I thought that was so cool that I was friends of the seminary. Our guest today is the author of the book Reclaiming Vatican 2. It was published as a joint project with Word on Fire and Ave Maria Press. And he also happens to be a friend of mine from when I was in high school and he was in seminary. Hi, Father Blake. How are you? Yes, which is my true claim to fame to be Patrick's friend. Do you know? That's what it is.

That's why he's on the podcast. Yes, exactly. No, no. I'm doing really well, brother. We were

reminiscing before the recording session of just amazing how Providence works that all these years later, we would reconnect this way. And I'm just, I'm very excited to be here with you. I'm looking forward to this conversation as well with you, Ethan. So don't worry. It's not just going to be a Patrick and I show. I promise. We're not going to sit here and be chummy and catch up the whole time. So that's good. I'm just, I'm hiding my insecurities through humor, which no one ever done that

before, right? I mean, that's always the healthiest way to do. Deflect, deflect, internalize.

Deflect, project, and reject is what I say, the old, the old Trinity. We do have a connection,

though. I do live on Britain Road.

So we're basically, we're pretty close.

I'm pretty sure my family owns that road.

You're part of the family.

I didn't know that.

Well, I'm glad that you went with your part of the family instead of your squatting on my family's life.

You should have been a much more awkward.

This is your eviction notice.

You have 30 days.

Or you need to give us a percentage of your crops. Yeah. What a terrible world to live in where you get a victim. The feudal way of doing this. Yes. Yeah. You need to kill crop the land. Give it to me in due time for her majesty. The real treads. The real trad organize feudal societies.

That's what the real trads do.

Don't talk
