234: Superhero Jesus, Illusions & the Houston Texans Priest Chaplain

58 minutes

Jon Blevins cohosts our Easter episode which kicks off with off the wall insights about Easter you won't get anywhere else: like Jesus being a superhero and possibly messing with the Apostles with his powers.

Fr. Clint Ressler, the Catholic chaplain for the Houston Texans, joins Taylor to discuss his favorite NFL team, how Catholicism and professional sports mix and some wild stories from Fr. Clint's time with the team.

In the final segment, Jon and Taylor discuss a new concept for Taylor that apparently wasn't new to Jon called "the illusion of explanatory depth." They quiz each other on random topics and then get to the point. Enjoy!
