Greetings, parish orphans, retrogrades.

Happy Friday.

Today, on a Friday, we are doing a in, not of show, a podcast within a podcast.

And by we, I mean my good friend Anthony Boss and me, what's up, boss?

How are you?

How's it going, Tim? Go see you again.

You too, man.

We were, last time we got together, IRL, as they say, we were discussing all things,

patriarchy. And that was right before I saw you for Halloween with our families.

Our families have developed the tradition of trick-or-treating together here in

in South Mississippi.

And we had a good late-night convo over my kitchen table, partly about the case for patriarchy.

We were just, we're literally, you were asking me how it's selling.

And the next day,

of course, I was rolling out the day after Halloween for Franciscan University. And I went and gave

a talk there. It was a packed talk. Very, very positive response. I sold tons of books.

But it's interesting because it's not the tradiest audience.

I was expecting a trattier audience.

Anyway, so we were talking about my book, not that that's what we usually do when we get

together.

And we were talking about why the patriarchy is so missing.

Right?
