Hello and welcome to Catholic Dance is live. Thanks so much for being here with us on this Wednesday. We're going to do it again two hours of open form. That's right.

Eight eight eight three one eight seven eight eight four triple eight three one eight seven eight eight four. And remember you don't have to be Catholic. You don't have to be Christian or to be a believer of any sort or you can be a believer of any sort and ask whatever your question is about the Catholic faith. Maybe it's a question about the moral teachings of the church. Maybe it's a question about sacraments of the of the church or you could be on our favorite topic.

0:54.0

And if you don't know our favorite topic, you can call and ask what our favorite topic. It's Jesus. Okay. It's Jesus. I'm just going to say it eight eight three one eight seven eight eight four Joe Heschmeyer. Apologist here at Catholic dancers. Wonderful writer. And a very fine person who everybody knows I get along with great. Hi, Joe.

1:14.0

That didn't sound sarcastic at all. No, we did. Yeah. I wouldn't it was nice to see you on the weekend. Yeah, we were down in Fort Worth together and people got to see us interact in person. And at least one person was like, you guys are just like this all the time.

1:34.0

I think there was a compliment. I'm not 100% sure. But I think they meant you guys are. No, I don't think it was a compliment. I don't I don't know about that. I know there were some people who wrote an elevator with us who were like, this is great.

1:47.4

But they didn't seem to mean it. They didn't seem to think that it was fun. The banter as we call it.

1:52.8

Eight eight three one eight seven eight eight four triple eight three one eight seven eight eight four. Let me ask you something. Okay, because you're not as old as me, but you're not as young as some of the people here at Catholic dancers. And while we're waiting for to get some calls.

2:07.3

All of this is true. Okay. So I got invited to somebody's wedding here at Catholic dancers and I won't name the person, but it's Edgar and and it said to RSVP.

2:17.6

So here's how RSVP. I saw Edgar and I said, my wife and I are coming to your wedding. And he goes, you're supposed to go to the website and tell me.

2:25.9

And I'm like, I'm talking to you like a person face to face. Like, why is that? And then I asked some of the young people here. And they were offended that I didn't answer at the at the website, like that I'm supposed to go to the website and properly RSVP there.

2:42.0

I mean, have you thought about the fact that it's a four letter French acronym?

2:46.0

I mean, it's like, yeah, what you're doing is a very casual American thing. And nothing about what is

2:52.3

Be casual. What he's supposed to be super expensive and stressful so that the couple can start in a lot of debt and stress. It's a the fun way we test marriages.

3:01.1

That doesn't sound fun. When you say it doesn't sound fun.

3:04.8

No, okay. So you're up the view that I should have gone to the website that it was more that I was somehow morally.

3:10.3

We're going to expect Edgar to keep track of every person who approaches him and says, I can't believe what a bad person I am and three people

3:19.4

I'm going to bring with me that weren't actually invited, but I'm going to bring him anyway. Whatever you're doing.

3:23.8

Well, Mary Vassello agrees with you, but her father, who's a very old man, is in the studio with us. And you agree with me, John?

3:31.8

Or do you think I got to go? Yeah, John agrees with me. You can just say to a person. I'm coming to your wedding.

3:36.6

Everybody that's under the age of 40 thinks that's the most horrible thing that you didn't go to the website.

3:42.4
