So I'm very grateful he had that crisis of self and decided that his calling for medicine was more important than his calling for God.

But the reason that happened, and the other person I'm really grateful to who just passed away is my Uncle Pat.

My uncle Pat is like a hero to me.

He's a hero to a lot of people, but he was his, my father's Irish twins.

He was nine months younger and he was in the Jesuits with him, following him.

And the reason my family was okay with my dad leaving was because my uncle Pat's like, well, I'm going to stay.

And of course my uncle Pat was sort of a rebel.

He got kicked out of the Jesuits three times for language, beating people up, not respecting authority.

He was not a good priest.

Probably like some of the priests you've had on your show.

He's more like that.

He's a tough guy.

Yeah, yeah.

There were more of them back in the day.

There's not enough of them anymore.

But he stayed in the priesthood, became a Jesuit, and then Vietnam happened, and he joined the Army.

So he joined 82nd Airborne Division.

And the reason he joined is he's like, you know, I'm a tough guy.

Like, I'm physically fit.

I look around at all these other priests.
