0:00.0	Gooday, gooday, and welcome to Last Call. My name is Matt Fred. Today I'm going to be taking a look at what
0:06.4	St. Thomas Aquinas had to say the three benefits of fasting are, since we are already into the season
0:14.5	of Lent. Then I'm going to be sitting down with my good mate, Brian Holdsworth. We're going to take
0:19.0	your questions on fasting. But before we do
0:22.6	that, we've got this new thing we're doing on the show. We're going to see if it works. It may
0:26.9	not, but it may, and it might just be fantastic. I've asked my producer Maria just to take a couple
0:33.0	of comments from the YouTube comment section and share them with me. And so if this goes well, if you are either exceedingly flattering to me and Pines with

1:19.4	amazing guy, very brilliant, but very busy, so I'm glad you enjoyed it. Second comment comes from
1:26.0	S.R. Lexi 0812, super normal name, says the amount of likes on these
1:31.8	picks of Matt's ankles are indeed concerning.
1:35.8	Yes, for those who don't know, the first episode I ever did with Dr. Scott Hahn here,
1:40.4	didn't have socks on, and people were deeply scandalized.
1:43.8	Somebody said that their covenant eyes,
1:46.8	they can only set their filter level so strong and it was too much for them. In fact, today,
1:53.2	I said, I need socks desperately. So you're welcome. I have socks now. Now the question here
