Hello, and welcome to Catholic Dance with Live. I'm Psy Kellet, your host. So happy to be here with you on this Friday afternoon. Maybe it's Friday evening. Maybe it's a Saturday morning where you are whatever it is. We're happy you decide to spend the time with us.

0:28.0

The number 888-3187-884 will do open forum, second hour with Jimmy Aiken. First hour Trent Horn is here, author extraordinaire, apologist, speaker, defender of life, defender of the faith.

0:43.0

Trent's awful nice to see you.

0:46.0

Thank you, Psy. But I think last year from the annual yearbook of titles, apologist extraordinaire was retired.

0:54.0

Yes, well, for all the apologists, like how the Pope has a list of titles in the pontifical yearbook, we do the same for us. And every now and then, if you do get retired, it's appropriate for a certain age, but now as you relate to the modern world, it may be a bit out of touch for people.

1:11.0

You're familiar with servant of the servants of God as a title for the Pope.

1:14.0

Oh, yeah, that one goes all the way back to, you know, 5th, 6th century.

1:19.0

Yeah, so servant of the rest of the people that Catholic answers is a possible title we could give you.

1:25.0

It could be. You help her to the other apologists.

1:28.0

Oh, you're going to go with that. All right. Well, you know what's actually interesting the last time I think it was back in 2018, we retired boy wonder.

1:35.0

I think we finally retired that.

1:37.0

That's a Chris Check thing. I forgot he used to call you boy wonder all the time.

1:41.0

Yeah, now people there's a transition for that. I think it's apologist. It starts with you look so young and then it turns into you look so tired.

1:50.0

After child number three, it became you look so tired. You basically 8883187884.

If you'd like tips for defending the faith, Trent is awful good at it. He'd love to help you out with it.

2:03.0

Trent, if you don't know also, you know, the full story of all the books, Trent's written and all the debates he does and all that.

2:09.0

The most important thing to know is, of course, Trent is married to Laura Horn and you've probably seen her on your internet feed doing her.

2:18.0

What I think of as comedic videos too far with Laura Horn, what do you think of them? Do you think of them as comedic videos?

2:27.0

I consider them comedic gold. I consider comedic art. Yes, they are gold gold.

2:34.0

Oh, well, what's funny is now she is graciously including me in more and more videos. I think my role in that is to be the straight man to her.

2:44.0

Yeah, I've noticed that emerging and I think that's a good choice because she's funny.

2:49.0

That's true. So who is who is the straightness? So there was Jerry Lee Lewis and then he would know there was Jerry Lee Lewis.
