  <description>In an episode filled with laughter &amp;amp; new nicknames, Taylor &amp;amp; Fr. Anthony kick off the episode by talking about this weekend's celebration of Father's Day. Taylor shares a Catechism passage that may be the most dads have ever been represented by the Church. He also shares one of the strangest moral conundrums he has ever had as a Father that happened this past week.
The show continues with a discussion on the morality of video games. Taylor accidentally made a decision in a video game that may get him kicked out of the Church lol. He shares his shame with Fr. Anthony and they discuss if it is sinful to commit sins in a video games.
To close the show, Taylor shares some reflections from a book he has been reading by John Eldredge called "Get Your Life Back." They discuss carnivals, actively loving God, finding restoration for our tired souls &amp;amp; how to handle other people's bad theology. 
We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we enjoyed recording it!

  <description>Taylor starts the show by getting after Jon for not sharing two big announcements with him. He then shares two new things in his life: one of which is hilarious and the other frustrating.
They both share their experiences of being home with their kids without their wives and how different those two experiences were.
And finally, they close the show with a segment of "cold takes." Some people like hot takes, but these takes are so random that no one could accuse them of being hot. 
We hope you enjoy this episode and your Thanksgiving!

  <description>Fr. Anthony cohosts and gets complimented right off the bat so he knew he was in for a heck of a show lol. They respond to people saying dumb things about priests, Taylor's wins and losses as a person and father this week &amp;amp; much more.
Our guest this week is Fr. Harrison Ayre so you could say this episode is Forte Speaking. Or Clerically Forte. Or Clerically Catholic. Or whichever you think is funniest. Fr. Anthony shares duel citizen ship as a host of both shows so we had a little fun at his expense and then Fr. Harrison shared how we can all be smarter. Good times!

  <description>Shaun cohosts to discuss how there is so much more in store for us than we often think in our relationship with God. We also talk about the joys of fatherhood, including conversations about Pokemon, Ariana Grande and what this all has to do with our faith.
The guys are joined this week by the founder of "Stay Close to Christ."(StayclosetoChrist.com). We talk about how he was inspired to start a company to help people live their faith, and how it all started in his classroom. We also discuss tips for new dads(from two semi-decent Catholic parents).
