Taylor & eight other guys spent the weekend in a beautiful lake house in southern Louisiana and had a great time! We spent the weekend in prayer, fellowship, drinks, great food, a trip to the beach and some great game time!

We decided to record an episode at the lake house together with a whole cast of characters. In today's episode, you'll hear some of the things that the Lord was doing in the hearts and minds of the men on the retreat and also get to join in our fun as we play "Mezzo/Piano/Forte", our hot takes about Catholicism game.

We hope you enjoy this episode! If you'd like more info about our retreats, head to https://www.fortecatholic.com/retreats

Then, they play Freestyle Preaching! This is our game where each host has to give a 60 second sermon including three random words given to them by the other host. It's a blast!

Finally, Taylor shares some of his insights from a talk he gave about the Dry Bones at a parish mission. Enjoy!

They kick it off with a conversation about the phrase "If you're bored at Mass, you'll be bored in Heaven." It's a common phrase from people in ministry and online personalities but Taylor doesn't agree with it anymore and he explains why.

Next, they discuss how strange the idea of auxiliary bishops actually is and Taylor argues that Bishops making up rules for their comfort makes him wonder why he has to follow random Catholic rules. Are the rules Pharisaical? The convo includes thoughts on fasting requirements and...NFP!?!?

Finally, as this is the last episode before Valentine's Day, Jon & Taylor both share their best and worst ever date stories and how they met their wives.

Enjoy this episode with unhinged Taylor and incredibly pastoral Jon!

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!

Next, JP Quinn rejoins the show to play the game he invented: Forte, Mezzo, Piano. He shares hot takes that Father Anthony and Taylor have to grade and share their views on. Man, let me tell you, JP wanted absolute chaos this week and he got it. Fr. Anthony and Taylor haven't been this united in months as they take aim at JP's ridiculous takes. Absolute blood bath lol

Finally, you've heard the Pange Lingua, but have zero clue what it means in English. We're going to fix that. Enjoy!
