Matt, what's up?

Not much.

Last time we met, we were at a pub in Manhattan.

That's true.

Facts. Because I was given a talk to some young adult group.

You said something that I have since said multiple times.

All right, you said that when people ask you what you are, you be depending on where

you are in the country depends on how you said.

Did you remember saying this?

Yes.

Tell the story.

I liked it.

Yeah, so it depends on where I'm at is how I'm going to respond

because if it's like totally out of context then somebody's just going to steer it with you like you say I'm a Franciscan and it's like you just gave me new information you might as well just said like you know like a purple people leader you know it's like bubbled your lips yeah so I remember once being in a zaxbee so down south from Georgia was in a zaxbee's and this guy is standing in line definitely like eyeing me the whole time we were waiting to order I'm there with my dad.

I'm just like, okay, you know, I go to Georgia and generally speaking people stare at me because

you don't see these kind of like, you know, the bearded dudes is like I'm not a Muslim cross, cross,

cross, you know. and I was sitting there waiting line and this guy's

sitting there and he's looking at me and then I turn and smile at him and

say like you know you know God bless you and he looks at me like you know, you know, God bless you and he looks at me it was like,

what is you? And I'm just sort of like, ah, I was like, again I almost wanted to start a Franciscan

but then I realized I was like if I that, it's going to be totally meaningless.
