She and her husband, Pat Flynn, are both such normal people when they're on the air. It's very nice to get to talk to both of them, not just spiritual as a new book. This hour Tom Nash is with us. It's asked me anything. Same rules as any ask me anything. You can ask them whatever you want about the Catholic faith. You want to know about Jesus. We love talking about Jesus. Tom will talk to you about Jesus all day. You want to talk about the Bible. You want to talk about the church. You want to talk about the moral teachings of the church. There is one rule with Tom Nash that we don't have with the other apologists. And I ask you to be respectful of this rule and follow this rule. Do not mention basketball. We will get so far off topic, it will never come back.

1:13.6

So I don't care if you are LeBron James.

1:45.6

However, I will allow you to give props to one of your fellow apologists here at Catholic Answers.

1:51.5

I know it's important to you, always in brotherly love, to encourage the brothers.

1:57.4

So go ahead. You can say what you want to say.

1:59.3

Yeah, well, kudos to our colleague,

2:02.1

Joe Heschmeier, the Kansas City Chiefs. I was hoping that my Detroit Lions might meet them.

2:06.4

But faith, family of football, as I have said for many years in that order. So kudos to them.

2:11.6

And watched the game yesterday. I wanted the bills to finally not only get to the Super Bowl, but win it.

2:16.5

But it's tough to beat those

2:19.6

chiefs with their quarterback and their head coach. Yeah. But they legitimate me, I mean,

2:25.5

I hate to say. No, I, it's very controversial. It's always been controversial. I, never in doubt.

2:30.5

This is a fact about football. Nobody ever knows if it's a first down or not.
