Welcome back to Catholic Answers Live. I am Psych Hill at your host. I told you it was going to be a good couple of hours. Trent Horn with us this hour. You can ask him whatever you like about the Catholic faith, 888-318-7884.

0:27.0

I don't know what the time delay will be like between here and Texas, but I'm hoping it'll be a little less than there was between us in Glasgow, Scotland today.

0:38.0

But Trent, we're very, very glad you're here. I say we're very, very glad you're here, but I just saw the name Horn on the schedule and I thought, oh, finally, we're getting Laura Horn on the show, but then turned out to be you.

0:51.0

I know. I know. Usually people are really hoping it's going to be Laura because, of course, Laura is the star of the popular YouTube channel too far with Laura Horn.

1:02.0

Recently, I believe the most popular guest ever on Pines with Aquinas hosted by Matt Frad. So, you know, I'm always kind of in her shadow a bit.

1:12.0

She was the most popular guest ever because I'm not just on Pines with Aquinas. I think she's possibly the most popular guest ever on an interview format YouTube show.

1:23.0

Oh, well, that would make sense. Yeah, certainly. Yeah. Right. The times we'd include Pines among all the others. Yeah. So, no, she did a great job and she's, she's doing really good. So, be able to go check out her channel too far with Laura Horn.

1:36.0

They should, indeed, unless they're squeamish and easily offended. Oh, no, especially if you're squeamish and easily offended. She does go a little too far sometimes.

1:45.0

Well, it's called too far. She probably, she named it properly. She did. Trent is long time apologists for the Catholic Church and for human life. The author of a whole bunch of books, including answering atheism, persuasive, bro, life, and the very, very, very popular.

2:03.0

Why we're Catholic as well as things the Saints never said. Trent, I'm so glad you're here. And it's just going to be a grab bag this hour because it's open for him.

2:14.0

It is. Let's who knows what will get open forum is like a box of chocolates. You think it's the question you want and then you discover it's caramel on the inside.

2:26.0

It is. It's funny. One of the funny. I forget. We had a guest on one time and who said, how often do the questions not match what the what the person says they're going to ask. I was like, yeah, that happens.

2:39.0

You just got to be ready for it. Like with a box of chocolates, there's some that you think, yeah, that has to be like a dark chocolate truffle. It just has to be like clearly. And then you bite into it. And it's like some like little like weird strawberry gooey filling.

2:52.0

What is this? What's happened? No, that's just wrong. You should be warned. Anything that's going to be gooey filling of any fruit. You should be warned. This is not nutty. It's not chocolate. He don't bite this. Yeah.

3:03.0

I like the Savoy truffle. I don't know. Savoy truffle. That's a Beatles song. I'm sorry. That's a Beatles song. You got me. You got a reference. I didn't catch it. But it's actually a Beatles song about a candy called the Savoy truffle.

3:19.0

I didn't know that. You know, it's a candy that didn't live up to my expectations. Turkish delight.

3:25.0

Why are they delighted with this stuff? It's so good in the Chronicles of Narnia. And then you eat it. And it's not a delight.

3:33.0

It's like this weird gelatinous. Well, you got to put a bunch of powdered sugar on it. Well, you can do that to anything.

3:40.0

Yeah. Right. That's not if you put a gallon of butter on it, though.

3:45.0

Maybe the Turks are just a very easily delighted people. And they're like, this is delightful. What should we call it?

3:53.0

Yeah, I agree with you. That's a disappointment. And this is coming from someone who enjoys getting a Christmas fruitcake. Everyone always complains about the Christmas fruitcake. I love a good Christmas fruitcake.

4:06.0
