Compelling insights, unpredictable conversations,

encouragement for your day.

It's the Patrick Madrid show on Relevant Radio.

Get that in your spirit.

Get that in your spirit. That's right. Hey, happy Monday to you. Did you enjoy the long weekend, Cyrus? Good morning. Wasn't that long. I tripped over her. Sorry about that. No, it was good. Yeah. I hung out with the kids. Yeah. So what more could I ask for? Yeah. It's amazing when they still hang out with me. Who's they? My kids. They're at the age where I'm, you know, they disappear. Because I'm going to ask them to clean something. Right, right, right, right, right. Well, hey, you know, the good news is it's not pledged drive. Not that that was bad news, but I enjoy doing the show on a regular basis.

So let me begin by thanking all of you for your tremendous generosity. Once again, you came

through for us. We had a need of $3 million, and we got to $3.1 million. Thank you. Thank you, Jesus, but also thank you guys. We really, really, really appreciate it. Now, if it so happens that you were busy or traveling or for some other reason, you couldn't participate, we're holding the door open for you for a couple days at least. So if you want to go to relevant radio.com or use the relevant radio app, you can still make your pledge, and we'll count it toward this last pledge drive. Thank you for that in advance. So we talked a moment ago, I talked a moment ago, in response to a lady who called in about her brother saying that the Vatican is shaped like a snake. And I said, no, it's not. Look at the pictures of it. And then Cyrus being the crack investigative expert that he is,

he said, well, what about this picture that's floating around on Twitter? And if you look at it,

it has the shape of, it looks like a cobra with teeth and eyes. So in the last, I don't know,

two minutes, two people have responded by email. One is Paul listening in Arizona,

and the other one is Christina listening in San Diego. And they both said the same thing at the same time,

which is it takes a wide-angle lens camera to see in the interior of this hall to make it look like a snake.

And Christina says, I bet it doesn't look like that in real life. Now, truth be told, I've been to the Vatican a million times, and even into the Vatican City-State area where tourists typically don't go, but behind St. Peter's, I've been back in there. But I've never actually been in the St. Paul the Sixth, or Pope Paul the Sixth audience hall.

So I've never seen it with my own eyes. I've only seen pictures. So for all I know, Paul and

Christina, that may well be the case. It may not look at first glance like a serpent, but with the

wide angle lens, maybe that's the only way you could see it. But I'm not so sure.

It is just a strange way of looking at architecture, if you ask me.

And as I said earlier, if I were pope for a day, I would probably put that near the top

of the list of things that I might want to modify, but I'll never be Pope. So thanks for

sending that in. It's an interesting possibility. And beyond that, all I can say is that different

tastes in architecture are just that. Sometimes people have notions of what they think is really

helpful and good church architecture,
