Liv Harrison is in studio for the first time in 16 months! Taylor & her in the same room always brings some comedy and drama lol. They kick off the show by talking about summer: Taylor's recent tubing trip, a Summer activity Liv has never done & the return of summer blockbusters.

Next, Taylor saw a Beyond Meat commercial and Arby's commercial back to back and it made him think about the Church (huh?). In a quickly changing world, the Catholic Church (and Arby's) remain steadfast.

Finally, Taylor reveals one of his biggest pet peeves: people not wanting to improve. He shares stories of how he's seen this play out professionally, spiritually and in coaching. He compliments Liv deeply in the segment and also lashes out at her. Perfect way to end the show. Enjoy!

Taylor kicks off the show with an announcement of a fun update to the show. He & Fr. Anthony also discuss the premise from a recent Marvel post that "real men only compliment each other behind their backs" which leads to a fun conversation about friendship.

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!

Edmund Mitchell cohosts and tries to be Taylor's "Joseph" by interpreting his strange dreams. What is dreaming? Do they tell us something real? Can you sin in dreams? Almost none of these questions are answered, but they're attempts are entertaining.

The second segment, we used Taylor's 2nd grader's new Catholic MadLibs book to try to create comedy. It bombed, which some of you think is the best comedy. If not, we apologize for one of our strangest segments ever.

Finally, Edmund gets to try "Freestyle Preaching" for the first time. Each host gives the other 3 words they have to include in a 60 second sermon. Some of them turn out great and some of them are Edmund's attempts. Enjoy!

Liv & Taylor catch up, share about their lack of sleep, Liv's son (barely) graduating high school and her new assistant that is making Liv work more lol. Taylor made a major change that Liv doesn't notice for way too long.

Taylor shares a story from the Bible that may have ended differently than many of us have imagined. This brings up a conversation about the importance of being specific in prayer.

Finally, our hosts answer random questions with the help of PodDecks. The answers include their guilty pleasures, worst jobs they've had and inventions they want. Enjoy!

Fr. Anthony cohosts what is probably our funniest show of the year! We kick it off by bringing back the old Life Verse segment to decide what the Life Verse for the show is. This leads to a conversation on if Mary could have possibly influenced the Gospels...hmm...

Next, Taylor shares a hot take about virtue signaling he's been holding back for a while. Should Christians bash virtue signaling or champion it? Strap in...this one's a wild ride!!!

The final segment is really really special. We have two more videos of Fr. Anthony making mistakes in Mass AND BOY ARE THESE HILARIOUS! We watch the videos and then ask him to explain himself lol. All good fun :)

The show kicks off with a hilarious terrible review of Taylor and the show. He tells John what was said about him, who came to his rescue and...how the mean reviewer was...right??? This leads to a discussion on reviewing things in general and how we can use it as a way to shed light into dark places.

Next, they play the new Imitate, Intercess or Ignore game where they each give each other three saints and have to choose what they will do with each. Hilarity and learning a bit about the saints at the same time...and maybe some who didn't actually exist...

Finally, Taylor shares an odd story about some Scripture verses he found in a restroom. It was...strange...to say the least. Enjoy!!!

Liv Harrison is back on the show with Taylor as they discuss how much a human life is worth. We often hear that every life is worth everything, but is it really? Intriguing discussion about the duality of man.

Next, they talk about friendship and integrity. First, how we are all friends with people we don't agree with on everything and that's actually better than agreeing on everything. Also, they talk about how Taylor and Liv on air can be different than off air. Is that lying or a lack of integrity? Or is it something else?

Finally, Taylor shares a recent breakthrough in his spiritual life after reading a new book by Blessed is She.(don't worry, we explain why he was reading it)

We're still celebrating Easter here at Forte Catholic! Taylor & Fr. Anthony Sciarappa discuss the Easter season they've had so far. Taylor shares his strange insights into the events of Holy Week & Divine Mercy Sunday. He also has a lot of questions that came up during that span like how was something Jesus said during his trial not a lie?

They both also share how the Lord spoke to them during this amazing season of the Church.

Finally, Taylor shares about his son's first confession, how hilarious it ended up being and a possible fake relic he prayed with during it. As always, Fr. Anthony is there to rescue the show with his answers and trying to reign Taylor in.
