And the Oh, Oh, And the Oh, Oh, The The G'd A good day and welcome to Pines with Aquinas. My name is Matt Frad. Today we will be debating the resolution. Is marriage a bad deal for men?

In the affirmative we have Pearl Davis and then in the negative we have Trent Horn.

We're going to have 10 minute opening statements, 5 minute rebuttals, 20 minute cross-examinations,

a time of Q&A for 30 minutes, and then five minute closings.

The reason we wanted to do that is sometimes in these discussions people interrupt each other

and the person doesn't get to make the case that they'd like to make

so that's why we're doing that but before we jump into it I was wondering if you

could both tell us a bit about yourself. Pearl ladies first.

Hi my name is Pearl.

I have the YouTube channel, Just Pearly Things.

We have 2 million subscribers on there.

Well done. I've interviewed over a thousand men and women on marriage dating and relationships. I also have a call-in show. I've interviewed

people all across the world from London to Africa to Vegas to California.

And I'm doing a divorce documentary so that'll be out in the next

year. Where will that be you know? My website the audacity network.com.

Okay thank you.

My name is Trent Horn.

I am an apologist for Catholic Answers and I am the host of the Council of Trent

podcast on YouTube.

I'm the author of about a dozen books and I'm married and

blessed with three wonderful children. All right. Well, are you ready?

Yeah. Whenever you start I'll click the timer you've ready? Yeah. Whenever you start, I'll click the timer, you've got 10 minutes.
