Confiscate all of it and lock you away.

We're disrupting the plans of the radicals.

Everyone pick up a copy if you already have one.

Rules for Retrogrades, rise.

Greetings, parish orphans and retrogrades out there.

Today I am solo.

Dave is still in transit in his cross-state move, but I'm not completely solo because I'm

here with Mr. A.J. Barker.

An exciting guest I'd like to introduce to you.

AJ wrote a book, co-wrote a book, with an NBA player named Royce White.

And today we're going to be talking about the natural virtues, particularly the cardinal virtues,

offering a different take.

You might not hear so often in Catholicism, especially because it's a critical take.

We'll get to that in a minute, but today I want to say what's up to AJ right now.

How are you, AJ? How are you doing out there?

Tim, how's it going? Thanks for having me on.
