  <description>Fr. Joseph-Anthony Kress O.P. has been a guest on the show many times but this is his first time in the cohost chair. He is a Dominican priest who serves as the Campus Minister at the University of Virginia. Taylor met him at a conference while Father was dressed up in a dinosaur costume and the rest is history.

  <description>Allison Sullivan cohosts and announces the relaunch of her podcast! Sinner Saint Sister is back and better than ever with great guests, now on video and part of the Forte Catholic Podcast Network. 
She &amp;amp; Taylor discuss how Jesus would social media. Would He be on it? What would He say? How would he conduct himself? Insightful conversation with moments of hilarity.
They close the show by discussing the body positivity movement that has become popular over the past couple years with Lizzo at the center of it all. They discuss the good parts of that movement but also where it falls short. This is ultimately a discussion on how we as Catholics should approach times where we are overweight.

  <description>Fr. Anthony co-hosts as he and Taylor start the show looking back at crappy situations and realizing how they actually helped us. It gives us insight into how we handle these difficult situations.
Then in the second segment, we welcome back(to Fr. Anthony's surprise) Kaitlyn Facista, lovingly known as Tea with Tolkien! With the King and Queen of Catholic Twitter united, our goal is to break the internet, and challenge Matt Fradd's kingdom! We talk the video game versions of Tolkien, uncover how little Taylor actually knows about LOTR and Kaitlyn saves a sinking ship by taking over and showing us how Catholic thought is immersed in the Silmarillion. 
In the final segment, college freshmen Blaine Tamez rejoins the show to talk about some of the issues he's been seeing in our social media culture and makes Fr. Anthony do layman things. It's beautiful.

    <![CDATA[<p>Fr. Anthony co-hosts as he and Taylor start the show looking back at crappy situations and realizing how they actually helped us. It gives us insight into how we handle these difficult situations.</p>

<p>Then in the second segment, we welcome back(to Fr. Anthony&#39;s surprise) Kaitlyn Facista, lovingly known as Tea with Tolkien! With the King and Queen of Catholic Twitter united, our goal is to break the internet, and challenge Matt Fradd&#39;s kingdom! We talk the video game versions of Tolkien, uncover how little Taylor actually knows about LOTR and Kaitlyn saves a sinking ship by taking over and showing us how Catholic thought is immersed in the Silmarillion. </p>

<p>In the final segment, college freshmen Blaine Tamez rejoins the show to talk about some of the issues he&#39;s been seeing in our social media culture and makes Fr. Anthony do layman things. It&#39;s beautiful.</p>

  <description>We kick this week's show off trying to find some levity in the midst of troubling times. Taylor shares some recent realizations(and prank ideas) he's had recently &amp;amp; producer Sam gives him a new challenge.
In the second segment, Shaun McAfee rejoins the show to talk about his new book, "Social Media Magisterium" on the proper use of media in our time. It helps that since his first appearance on episode 76, Shaun and Taylor have spent countless hours playing video games &amp;amp; becoming great friends. Tune in for this laughfest with nuggets of truth bombs throughout from señor McA4!
In the final segment, Taylor shares how one of his favorite rap songs from High School has ironically been helping him through the tough last few weeks.
