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!

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)

Taylor shares his strange insights into the events of Holy Week & Divine Mercy Sunday.

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.

Taylor & Allison Sullivan had quite a day together last week in our little Texas town. We were both at a local track meet and then there was a mass shooting in town and just when it couldn't get any crazier, it started to hail. They discuss this crazy day and finding some meaning in it. They also lighten the mood with news from Taylor that has Allison in hysterics.

We also introduce a new game called Imitate, Intercess, Ignore. In a Catholic version of a classic game, they each get three saint names and have to decide which category to put each one. This one's a hit y'all!!!

Finally, they have a discussion about getting older and a strange injury Allison accidentally gave herself. We hope you enjoy this laughter filled episode!

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!

Amanda Vernon came to town and cohosted with Taylor this week. The show kicked off as they shared crazy travel stories, odd dating/breakup stories(including one of them dating a future priest) and strange marriage insights.

Next, they talk about their vastly different singing careers(one being successful and the other being Taylor). This leads to a conversation about nervousness, overcoming it and the comfort that comes with practice.
