I know you're excited.

Some of you are disappointed.

What two of you might be disappointed?

It's producer Nick.

Producer Nick is back filling in on clerically speaking for Father Harrison and Father

Anthony.

Do you miss them? Do you?

Or is producer Nick feeling that hole in your heart? I bet he is. Actually, the feedback has been no.

They're like, Nick, you're great and all, but we miss the priests. So here's my strategy. I'm just going to be straightforward with you.

What we're going to do is I'm going to bring on as many lay people as I possibly can to

clerically speaking. So to aggravate Father Harrison and Father Anthony into doing the podcast again. That's right.

Your noble producer would do anything to get you the product that you want. That's one angle.

The other angle is, man, doing a podcast. That's a lot of work. Like coming up with topics every week,

man, I'm pretty interesting with a few things. But I was

talking to Father Anthony. I said, so I'm a youth minister. And every single week, I just feel like I'm

preaching the same thing to my teens. And he goes, dude, that's what it is. You just preach Jesus

Christ every week. I'm like, yeah, but like I'm running out of Jesus to preach

about. And he made fun of me a bunch for that. So to help me co-host this week, I want to introduce

a guest who is cool. He's a husband, a father. He's bearded like me. He's the Catholic director of evangelization,

excited to talk to him about that. He's a partnered streamer. He's a Detroit sports fan,

and he's the host of Super Squares HQ. Jonathan Blevins, welcome to clerically speaking.

My dream has come true.
