Patrick engages in a heated debate with Gabe, a belligerent, hostile caller who relentlessly challenges Patrick to defend the compatibility of religious beliefs as they conflict with the LGBTQ++ worldview. Patrick calmly and methodically turns the tables on Gabe, neutralizing his flailing attempts to fluster and put him on the defensive, by responding to his ferocity using the Socratic method of argumentation. This call generated a greater than usual massive outpouring of listener emails and phone calls, overwhelmingly expressing their astonishment and appreciation at how instructive this dramatic the call was.
