Patrick opens with a humorous take on smartphone addiction, featuring the quirky trend of the “Methophone”—a $20 acrylic slab meant to mimic the feel of a phone for those trying to break the habit. Patrick fields calls from listeners who share strategies for stepping back from technology, discuss the challenges and benefits of simplifying their tech use, and reflect on how easy it is to get caught up in constant scrolling. Amid the laughter and practical advice, Patrick welcomes a moving call from a listener who, after fifty years away, returns to the Catholic Church inspired by the program. Through it all, Patrick keeps the conversation uplifting, entertaining, and focused on finding community, hope, and a healthier balance in everyday life.
