Why is it that the guy at the football stadium will take his shirt off, paint his chest, scream like a lunatic for four hours… but we Catholics can barely stay awake for a 55-minute Mass where JESUS CHRIST is literally present?

Yeah. I’m calling us out. And I’m calling myself out. 

Because for years I treated Catholicism like a spiritual DMV appointment—get in, get my hour, get out.

In this video, I dive into:
 🏈 Why sports fans have more zeal than most Catholics
 📚 How decades of awful catechesis left many of us lukewarm
 😬 Why so many of us grew up in Catholic homes that barely acted Catholic
 🔥 Why knowing the faith is the ONLY way to fall in love with it
 😑 How modern Catholic leadership often seems embarrassed to be… Catholic
 💥 And why maybe God is calling ordinary “crappy Catholics” like us to actually become the heroes we wish we had

If you’ve ever wondered why being Catholic sometimes feels like a chore… or why you’re not “on fire” the way the saints were… this one’s for you.

No guilt trips. No theologian-speak.
 Just a fellow Crappy Catholic trying to figure out how not to be so… crappy.

"Jesus, I trust in You." Okay, you said the words... but do you trust in Him, really? Yeah, a lot of us are like that. We say we have confidence in God. We say we trust in Jesus, but get stuck in a traffic jam just once and the only thing you're trusting is that you can cuss up a blue streak at all the idiot drivers. 

Trusting God... having confidence in God... surrendering in God. It all sounds good until the rubber hits the road, life gets rough, and nothing is working out the way you want it to. 

The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak...

🎄🔥 LET THE ADVENT WARS BEGIN! 🔥🎄
Welcome to the ONLY Christmas-prep video brave enough to admit what the rest of the world won’t: Advent is basically a four-week battle campaign—and you are terribly outnumbered.

In this episode, I heroically attempt to celebrate Advent while dodging:

Rogue Christmas decorations that attack before Thanksgiving is even over

People who think Advent is just “Christmas Lite”

Grocery stores already playing Mariah Carey at full blast

That one coworker who won’t stop bragging about finishing Christmas shopping in July

My own internal chaos, which is frankly the most aggressive enemy combatant

You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll probably wonder why I’m allowed near a camera unsupervised.
But most importantly, you’ll discover:
Advent isn’t about winning the war… it’s about surviving it with your faith and your sanity still attached.

🔥 Light a candle.
⚔️ Brace for impact.
🎄 And let the Advent Wars begin.

Ever feel like prayer is this super serious, complicated thing where you have to say all the right words? Nope! Prayer is basically chatting with your BFF — except your BFF is God, and He already knows your life story (awkward texts and all). Think of it like keeping the ultimate group chat alive: say thanks, ask for help, admit when you messed up, or just tell Him about your day. No fancy apps, no bad Wi-Fi, and you never get left on read. A funny but honest look at talking to God in a noisy world.

Ever wonder what it really takes to be a decent human? Spoiler: it’s not about winning every argument, getting likes, or even being perfect.

In this video, we explore what it means to be a person of good will—someone who seeks truth, admits mistakes, and tries to do the right thing even when it’s messy, inconvenient, or downright frustrating.

Think of it like this: Charlie Brown was struggling to put on a Christmas play, the angels had some wisdom, and Linus delivered the ultimate life lesson—peace comes to those who honestly try to be good, even when it’s hard.

Watch, laugh, and maybe learn a little about honesty, humility, and what it really means to live with integrity in a world full of shortcuts.

Ever wonder if being Catholic is actually worth all the rules, guilt, and weird traditions? Yeah… me too. But here’s the thing—being Catholic literally saved my life. I’ve hit rock bottom, stared into the abyss, and somehow (thank God and my probably very confused guardian angel) made it out alive.

In this episode, I share my messy, very human journey: why the Church’s teachings actually make life a little simpler, how the sacraments and saints are basically your spiritual hype squad, and why sticking with Catholicism—even when it’s hard—can give your life purpose, direction, and maybe a little hope.

Spoiler: I’m still crappy at it. But that’s okay—because faith isn’t about being perfect, it’s about showing up, fumbling through, and trying to get it right.

Hey — welcome to Crappy Catholic Reboot! In this short talk I share how I grew up Catholic but didn’t really know much about it until I started reading and asking questions. I explain how learning more about the Bible, saints, angels, and the church helped me believe again and get excited about my faith.

What you’ll hear:
 • How I felt when friends said mean things about the Catholic Church.
 • Why reading and learning made me want to stay Catholic.
 • Why faith can be like finding someone you want to spend your life with — it feels good, steady, and full of surprises.
 • Why it’s okay to make mistakes and keep trying every day.

If you’re curious about faith or just want to hear an honest story, stick around — we’ll learn and laugh together.

Ever feel like you're surrounded by dumb ideas... and somehow following along? Yeah, me too. This video dives into 10 hilariously painful ways we all conform to stupidity—without even realizing it. From trying to be liked by people who don’t like themselves, to calling your job a “family” (spoiler: they’ll still fire you via email), this is your invitation to stop the nonsense and embrace your wonderfully non-conforming self.

Perfect for:
 ✅ Recovering people-pleasers
 ✅ Black sheep from dysfunctional families
 ✅ Catholics who feel like “crappy” ones
 ✅ Anyone who’s ever said “I’m basically a good person” (and meant it)

Ever feel like you’re the only one who remembers what actually happened at Thanksgiving '98? You’re not crazy, you’re just surrounded by people who prefer their truth pre-sanitized and gift-wrapped. In this episode, we take a stroll through family image management, workplace gaslighting, and the fine art of being the inconvenient truth-teller. Warning: May cause spontaneous laughter, uncomfortable self-awareness, and a sudden urge to yell, “I knew it wasn’t just me!”
