"I love being Catholic. I love being Catholic. I love being Catholic."
"Why?"
"It's the best!"
You said it all, man.
LOVED this episode. Fr. Parks is delightful and hilarious. Please have him on again, Matt.
I'm reverting after 11 years. This channel is such a great tool. I am learning so much about the Catholic faith and I love hearing from different priests. May God bless you and I will forever be grateful.
God bless!
Glory be to God Marina🙏🏾
Matt NEVER give this up until you feel called to and have sat on it. You have no idea how much you and your guests have impacted us viewers.
Praise God for this conversation. I was in the middle of watching it and it just made me want to do nothing more than go into the Chapel and sit with the Lord in vulnerability, so much so that I had to pause the video, go into the church next door, and just pray. What a blessing that God has chosen to work through you in order to work on the hearts of his children!
I just moved to Steubenville because you, Matt, mentioned it a few years ago, which put it on my radar as a Catholic oasis. Two months ago, the Holy Spirit said, "Now! Go check it out," so I bought a plane ticket and booked an Airbnb and resolved to completely follow His lead. No plans, no agenda.
My Airbnb host said, "By the way, I'm a Realtor; if you'd like to do some house hunting while you're here, I can hook you up." So I did that, but on my first day of my Steubenville trip, I got doubts because I didn't like the town at first. I said, "Holy Spirit, what do you want me to do? Do you want me to move here? Then give me a clear sign. And don't be subtle; you know I don't do subtle. Hit me over the head. Like, let me meet one of these 'famous Catholics.'"
On Day 2, I went to the FUS campus and had some extremely profound spiritual experiences there. That pretty much convinced me, at least 80%.
On Day 3, I went back to FUS and after Mass at Christ the King Chapel, ran into Scott Hahn (the "famous Catholic" I'd been asking for). The Holy Spirit was keeping our deal-that was His sign that I should move. That day, I made an offer on one of the houses I'd viewed, and a day later, as I waited at the airport for my flight, the offer was accepted.
A little more than a week ago, I moved here with everything I have, and I can't wait to see what God has in store for me. :) Running completely on faith is very hard to do, and I often fail miserably... but whenever I've done it, the results have been phenomenal. Praise be to God!
Amazing story! All the best to you in your new home! God bless
Wow what a great testimony! Thank you for sharing!
1 year later…. Update?
Lol, I love that the commercials are in the most random places like 37:12, when Fr. Parks has just gotten done saying "... A Quiet Place," and then Matt emphatically says, "Exodus 90!"
I know 😆
I just gotta say how much I’ve enjoyed this episode, I’ve watched it twice from start to finish, Fr Parks made me realize why I love comedy so much, I truly love hearing people laugh! Fr Parks needs to be back pleaseee, he’s an incredible preacher I met him at a blessed is she retreat last year God bless him! He has a beautiful gift! 🥹🙏🏻🙌🏻❤️
I’m so glad ppl have mentioned Jen Fulwiler, Clean, hilarious, stand up comedian. Catholic convert Mum of 6.
Totally agree with Fr. Parks about confession. My 1st time back to confession after 10 years of not going was the most amazing experience ever.
I LOVED the part about being gutsy. The dialogue between the four men taking the paralytic to Jesus and getting on the roof, cracked me up! And immediately I started praying to God about something that had been tormenting me. A little later, I got my answer. Praise the Lord 🙏🏻
Father Parks presents as genuine, transparent, “real” in the very best sense. His homilies are always inspiring, educational, insightful and engaging. What a delight watching and listening to this, thank you for having him on Matt. Absolutely yummy, delightful.
I will say this about Mozart’s sheet music, having majored in music, looking at and analyzing what Mozart or any other classical composer has written is mind blowing. It’s hard to comprehend how someone could be so smart as to compose such incredible music.
The more I watched this episode the more I loved it. I felt like the Holy Spirit was talking to me through the conversation you two were having. Before I type up a prayer, I want to mention that I would love it if you, Matt and your team, set up a fan mail or online fan mail way for us to reach out to you so that I and others could thank you for the work each and one of you do at Pints With Aquinas.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit;
Thank you Lord for Matt, thank you for Father John, thank you for Neil and everyone else who works at Pints With Aquinas whom I do not know. Thank you Lord for bringing these people into my life even if it is only vicariously and through this medium of the internet. Thank you for speaking to me through the conversations on this website. Thank you for showing me a light in this dark world. Thank you for using the means of this world to your advantage, to speak to me and many others. Thank you Jesus for your mercy, for your sacrifice, and especially for your love. I delight in the love you have for all of us. I am humbled by your love, I find peace and security in your love. I thank you for Matt, his team, and his guests for helping me become closer to understanding and feeling your love on a personal level that I would not know without them. Though I have never met any of them or the people who I watch Matt and his guests with, I thank you for each and every one of his guests and his viewers. Together we are going through this journey of life in our own way. Please help me bring what I learn and bring the voice you speak to me through this podcast to lighten the world around me. I am so grateful. Give me the strength and the courage to be myself with all my faults, knowing that you love me nonetheless and work through me to bring a light into this world. Thank you Lord for renewing my spirit through your sacrifice, through the Eucharist, through you love and mercy. Help me and each one of us become closer to You and help us bring those around us closer to You in however we can. Work through our faults, work through our oddities, work through our strengths to bring Your love and Your light into this world. For Your love and for Your glory I pray for each and every one of us and everyone we connect we, I want to pray for.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.
AMEN!!!!!!!
Amen 🙏
Amen
Thank you for writing this. I’m not so great with words- but think all you wrote is so perfectly said!
And is why we keep coming back to listen and grow closer to our God!
This is one of my favourite conversations to listen to. So many beautiful but simple topics, I could listen to these two for 2 more hours
I watched right till the last second... CUT!
ahaha loved it.
I love the comments about the world feels better every time I meet someone good. It gives you hope. I always learn new things in your show. Praying that it continuous to be fruitful. 🙏🏼
Brilliant show! Thought inspiring, honest, & funny too! I burst out laughing more than once 😁 God bless & thank you & God for posting this on YT too.
1:17:00 Matt, this comment truly made me tear up. Life becomes so much more beautiful when you meet new people and can see their uniqueness and beauty that they bring into the world. You can see God's perfection in humanity and his children. This is exactly why I love being a travel nurse. Getting to meet so many different people each with their own stories of life just makes life so much sweeter. You learn to love a new person for who they are and what they experience. This conversation was so wholesome and thought provoking. Definitely one of my favorite so far!!
A female comedian that I like is Jeanne Robertson RIP. I found her clips on TH-cam a couple of months ago, but the way she delivers her stories always cracks me up, and I'm not even from the USA 😅
just wanted to weite her! great women! God rest her soul! 🙏
I absolutely agree. She’s rolling-in-the-aisle hilarious!
21:25 "When you see someone carrying the suffering well, that's a person to listen to."
Very interesting quote!
Absolutely enjoying this conversation.
Matt, you are a constant blessing to me. I am a patron of your channel, and I give my paltry donation every month...then I see this honest, off-kilter, struggling Aussie and I am so blessed.
This is one of my favorite episodes! Thank you so much for your podcast, Matt, please never become a hermit 😂 I sent my husband a link to your podcast a couple years ago and he became a regular listener and many of your episodes have helped us grow so much. And thank you for sharing your thoughts about Cameron. What a lovely marriage you two have! ❤️
Wonderful show. Ask this fellow back! Thanks for such a great conversation, and all the hard work that went into it.
Talking about getting comfortable with our quirks and idiosyncrasies, remember with how much appreciation you just talked about Chesterton! You know the guy who carried around a sword, liked wearing capes, and forgot all his essentials on trips if he didn't have his wife's help? We all value his genius and gain from it, but love him for his quirkiness.
I am 74 and I was taught the word onomatopoeia in 7th grade. We had to learn how to use it. It’s called a classic education.
Jen Fulwiler is Catholic, clean, and hilarious!
Great show thus far.
Can I say that this took me 2 weeks to finish (watched in chunks) - and it was absolutely delightful. I quite enjoyed the back and forth and particularly the end when you talked about prayer, and personal experience. Fr John is a very enjoyable guest. Thank you Matt.
Such a great episode!
favorite episode to date!
Great conversation and ideas proposed 🙏❤️
How great would it be to have a spiritual director like Fr. Parks. Two minutes in his office and he can lead someone to a "the Lord told me…"?! Some people go through practically their entire lives paying but without ever experiencing anything like that.
Loved this conversation, Matt, for so many reasons.
As someone with theatre training who has also mostly given it up because the only opportunities to participate are in conflict with the faith, I’d love to hear a conversation with a guest - either Fr. John or someone else - about how Catholics can navigate or reclaim the arts instead of continuing to be edged out.
Love the humor in understanding Jesus! Makes it more real life!
And I relate to your channel because you’re real. I also am on fire for so many different devotions and paths... for a little while... I blame my ADD...
Shakespeare is Amazing! I read Hamlet in high school. It was incredible. In the scene where Ophelia went mad. She collected flowers in a bouquet and if you read the bouquet you knew what she was feeling and what she was going to do. The poppies told her plan, the poppies represented death. Fennel and Columbine, she was deceived. Daisy innocents, Rue bitterness, ... ... Hamlet wanted revenge for his father and he let Ophelia suffer in the process.
I was relating too these two guys sooooooooooo much. I will really want to watch a movie with someone and get bored 10 minutes in and go to bed. I'm also a big idea person, and being an artist I can't tell you how many times I've gotten a GIANT canvas with a really cool idea and then I reuse that canvas 5 times with completely different ideas till I find the right one
Just after 1:11:30 Hahahahaha! "We could either grow in virtue or hire assistants and we both hired assistants." I spend so much time wishing I could hire assistants but alas, I'd better figure out how to grow in virtue because I'm broke! This episode has made me feel like my husband and I are Matt and Cameron but switched. I'm the big idea/no follow through type and my husband is suffering his disability so much more gracefully than I am!
Jen Fulweiler is a Catholic stand up comic. She's excellent!!
I was going to say her, too!
Jennifer Fullwiler, she's a Catholic mother of 6 and a comedian
“Rafters…there’s so much I don’t know” (1:33:44) haha that was classic. This is a good episode, thank you
I love how Matt talks about his wife Cameron with such love, adoration, and captivation. I feel the same about my wife; she's so much like how Matt describes Cameron. I love and admire her so much it's beyond words.
My source of joy is going to daily mass and praying - becoming Catholic was the best decision ever
Utterly DELIGHTFUL 😊
Dont you DARE burn this podcast down.
My priest is Irish!! I love him so much. Married my husband and I earlier this year :)
Totally saved the best for last! What he said about following God and not a priest is beautiful
Here's a word I think sounds like it's said... shriek!! Love your show Matt 😎👍💖
I'm loving this episode soooo much
Yes! Taylor Thomlison! And dude it is so fun to see you outside of church
As a Brit two of my favorite female comics were French and Saunders who had their heyday in the 1990s. Especially Jennifer Saunders who wrote and starred in "Absolutely Fabulous" which is one of the funniest and most well written sit-coms ever All the main characters were female too. I remember when Patsy said scathingly to Saffy "you may dress like a Christian but the similarity ends there!" 😄😄
They are fantastic. That show was brutally hillarious. They don't do stand up though, I dont think.
Matt, is the chair that your guests are sitting in super uncomfortable? So many of them seem to constantly being adjusting themselves. Just wondering....God Bless you. You help me to be real with myself!!!
Great conversation, I was engaged the whole way through - which is a big deal since I also get bored easily.
Matt what's you're Myers Briggs Personality?
Nice mention of Mortimer Adler...I believe he became Catholic late in life. Love to read the Great Books of the Western World set. Highly recommend them for lifelong reading.
Lofty! ..when I hear lofty I imagine something silly or small or insignificant but it actually means something big and impressive
Oh and if you want - I quit swearing/cussing because I heard it attracts demons. Thanks for all you do!
I love how everyone loves this long form video but so many are hating on the short clip about female comedians that was posted afterwards. Personally the clip didn't phase me much and I'm loving the actual video it's from
Your programs are an unorthodox display of orthodox religion. I think it has to have a great appeal to men. Has to be very cathartic for you Matt.
Y’all too funny 🤣
Jennifer Fulwiler is hilarious!
Here in Latinamerica we have a great group of comidians from Argentina called Les Luthiers, they are pure gold, they are musicians that created so many shows with songs paroding and using wordplays. They were so great!
Jeanne Robertson recently deceased is very funny. I laugh so hard I cry and some things I laugh about for days.
I said this on a Pints video a few days ago, but Chesterton IS Tom Bombadil! I'm thoroughly enjoying this conversation. The only bummer about great podcasts is that we don't get to participate in the conversation.
Basically you react hydrogen peroixier with specific types of organic coumpound with a double bond (eg ethylene). the hydrogen peroxide reacts with the orgainic compound causing the double bond to break. This creates a radical which attacks another organic compound cause that double bind to break this cycle continues until the organic compounds have run out or until conditions have changed
Why is the wooden Australia upside down all the time? I need to know!
Watch Matt's interview with Charbel Raish you will find out there. A great interview, the extended version. God Bless
Whoa. When you were asking about words that don't sound like the meaning "onomatopoeia" was the first to come to mind. And then Father said it...
Leanne Morgan!!
And maybe women comedians are funnier to women because they point out things that women relate to.
❤️
Jeanne Robertson is hilarious. From what I remember her stuff is pretty clean. My wife and I heard her on satellite radio years ago.

Catherine Tate, British comedienne. She's pretty hilarious. But I've never seen her do stand-up--though she has according to her Wikipedia entry-- but rather skit comedy and characterization. My favourite stand-up is Dylan Moran, hands-down. Bill Bailey is a close second, followed by Eddie Izzard.
Yes Catherine Tate ia hilarious also Tracey Ullman.
I don't know much of her work, but I do love the fat baby episode with her, David Tennant and Sarah Lancashire.
Most Catholic non-Catholic film, I think, is Groundhog's Day
I don’t know a lot of comedians, but I find some of Anjelah Johnson’s routines quite entertaining, especially her “Asian Nail” and “Mexican Mama” that went viral like 10 years ago.
Dear Matt I found THE FUNNIEST female stand up comedian, her name is zarna garg, she does this act about her husband and kids that had me totally cracking up, hope you see this ahahaha
Nate Bargatze is a clean comedian I’ve loved listening to lately. He’s got a great special on Netflix and his young daughter introduces him at most of his shows.
I enjoyed Yvonne Orji's stand up routine "Momma I made it!" on HBO. 🤷🏼♀️
❤💕
1:08:10 does anyone know the article he’s referring to? The one about not becoming a Catholic hack?
Can you have Shia Labeouf on your channel?!
There's a bumper sticker I see often that I hate--"If you're not outraged, you're not paying attention."
I recently learned the word languid, and before I even knew the meaning it sounds like something long and slow
I almost exclusively listen to female comics, because they joke about things that I (as a female) can relate to (pregnancy, relationships with friends and parents etc). Maybe you don’t find them funny because you are not a women?
If you like Brian Regan, check out Nate Bergatze for comedy. Total genius! Also decent (but not always clean nor in line with Catholic teaching) female comedian is Anjelah Johnson.
Matt have you ever had a priest who is an exorcist on your program?
Why did Matt (verbally) conversation stomp all over Father like that in the beginning.
Love Matt and the Show! Patreon subscriber!
Matt isn’t annoying but he was kind of stepping all over Fr in the first 20 min.
Vicki Lawrence, carol Burnett sidekick
Jeanne Robertson
Yes! And she is funny because she presents herself very genuinely. She is a charming southern woman on stage who doesn't have to prove herself
Please make 3:16-3:25 a clip!
Anyone have a time stamp on where they discussed idols vs icons?
25-ish minutes.
@@henrybarr7307 thank you sir!!
19:30
Onomatopoea….”rustle” “grind” “jump” “sweet” “plump” “scream”
Lullaby
Jennifer Fulwiler is pretty funny and Catholic. I'm kind of shocked you don't know who she is. Also I find the women who would be good at being standup comedians never seem to take that route.
Love woman comic Jeanne Robertson, clean humor, here in YT. Sadly she died somewhat recently.
"Have you ever had that experience where you feel sad and attacked and stuck and you WANT TO BE? Almost like I'm aware of this and could renounce this and choose joy and I don't want to. I want to stay stuck in it."
Wow. Next time just @ me, Matt.
Also, Ive never heard you mention Jim Gaffigan, who is hillarious. And clean, and Catholic! He's got like 5 or 6 kids. And his wife is his writing partner so she might not do stand up but she certainly contributes to great stand up.
Unfortunately, Jim and his wife are very liberal. Not sure how seriously Catholic they are.
@@Madiwildhair Well, they are seriously catholic in that his wife is a faithful mass-attending Catholic and its an important part of their life, but if you mean you don't know how faithful they are to all the magisterium of the church, that is a fair point. But his liberal politics aside I still find his comedy funn and mostly clean and he talkes about being Catholic and having five kids a fair bit, which is something Catholic families can relate to, etc.
Jimmy Akin- listens to astrophysics in adoration... because God created the ‘rules’ and speaks in math and physics.
Not languages I’m adept at.. other than to realize God created the rules and built all material worlds based on those!
Matt's camera looks like it's panned a little off. Maybe it's intentional, I dunno. But in case you guys read these comments, there you go.
Watching the beginning because I missed it, and early in the video there is plenty of lead room on Matt's camera, then it changes. I'm sure you guys don't need my comments to catch it, but just in case, I wanted to point it out... Because that's what random people on the internet do. hahah.
God bless yuns!
I think Matt is somehow scooting to the left as they talk. He’s not centered in his mic. Maybe he feels uncomfortable behind it so he uncontiously moves over?
What about Bob?
Y'all need to research legendary female comedians' stand up acts such as Lily Tomlin and Bette Midler!!
I think Kathleen Madigan (not sure how to spell her name) is hilarious but she’s the only female comedian I would say is genuinely funny. PS she’s Catholic so you should have her on your show
