Pints With Aquinas - Producer Maria Rage Baits Me With Hilarious TikToks | Last Call Ep. 26

Starting point is 00:00:00 Colorado is trying to silence free speech again. A state law forces businesses to use customers' preferred pronouns, even if they're biologically inaccurate. With the help of Alliance defending freedom, a Christian bookstore and a sports apparel company are challenging the law, but a court recently ruled against them. They appealed the ruling, and with ADF's help, they'll keep fighting another attempt by Colorado to skirt the First Amendment.

I usually sit down with a guest. We review TikToks or talk about stuff. But today, we've decided we're going to do something completely different. My producer Maria has found a bunch of TikToks to show me.

Starting point is 00:01:41 She says they will make me angry. This is making me angry and laugh. And then she's going to show me TikToks of people hurting themselves. Which, you know, I don't watch TikTok, but if I did, that is all I would watch. I find that funny. So thanks for being here. If you haven't yet, subscribe to the channel. And, um, I don't know, this could completely flop.

Starting point is 00:02:06 This could be a terrible idea for a last call, but I'm looking forward to having fun. Cold showers, holy hours, and 2 a.m. night vigils. Join Father Columba Jordan and the Exodus 90 Brotherhood for the St. Michael's Lent Challenge. We start August 12th. Download the Exodus 90 app today or visit Exodus 90.com slash Matt. Actually haven't seen these before, just to be really clear. So, okay. Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh, this is making me angry. This is why there was a Protestant revolution.

Starting point is 00:02:46 Please tell me this isn't a Catholic church. I mean, for goodness sake, I am so disappointed with humanity. And again, do we know, Maria, if that was a Catholic church? Oh, okay. Well, that makes me feel good. That was a Protestant church. I'm just going to believe that that was a Protestant church so I can sleep tonight.

Starting point is 00:03:14 Oh my gosh. What is he doing? Why are people taking this seriously? Okay. I could do that. I wouldn't look good in a skin-tight outfit like that. But I mean, he doesn't look great. What was that, Maria?

Starting point is 00:03:47 Yeah, once I hit a million subscribers, I will get in a tight onesie like that and just wear a yarmica and paint. That is, I bet that happened in Portland, did it? Or California or some lefty place. There's no way that was taking place in Tennessee. All right, what's this one? All right, all my little sweeties are ready to find their forever home.

Starting point is 00:04:18 I'm doing my job today. Kelly's One of a Kind Mink. Dot big cartel.com. Those are... Terrifying. So are these little dolls that this woman created? Is it really taxidermy? Did she do it? It's a big channel? I have a horror podcast People probably don't know about this. It's called sibling horror. My sister and I write short horror stories

Starting point is 00:04:45 This has given me an idea actually I have written a horror story called the taxidermis which you can go listen to right now If you're so inclined but yep thanks Maria that was I'm so glad you showed me that all right this one What? Please stop with this isn't a furry TikTok kind of thing. That's it. All right. I mean, I'm not that enraged. I'm more confused, but all right.

Starting point is 00:05:24 Next one. Oh my... Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Poor kid. All right, so I grew up in Australia and Magpon will dive bomb you, especially, I think, once they've had, I don't know if they're protecting their nests or not, but it's terrifying.

Starting point is 00:05:46 It's actually terrifying. So that was funny until I saw the kid's face. Hey! I'm actually pretty upset with whoever was filming that. That's probably one of his parents. Yeah, who probably could have helped his kid, but didn't. All right. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.

Starting point is 00:06:11 Oh, my, my, man, my fide! Honey! What? The fo'c ball is moving. Okay, that... What's he saying? What is he doing? Okay, that felt real.

Starting point is 00:06:44 Some of these don't feel real. Some of these feel staged. Why is my hand like this? Look at my hand. Why am I holding my hand? Like that! I love that he's like, I can't believe I let myself get prank like that. So is this like a genre of TikToks?

Starting point is 00:07:13 Is it like they put fishing wire around the doll? I might do that. That's really good. You know, I cannot stand TikToks that are clearly staged but are pretending not to be. Like when you see a girl walking and they're like, excuse me, what are you listening to right now? And she's listening to Orthodox chant or Gregorian chant and you know the whole thing staged. I feel so insulted by those things. So I'm always on the lookout.

Starting point is 00:07:36 Are these people being sincere? Are they just, but most of them did seem very good. Yep. Yep. Feels like lightning goes through my head when I step awkwardly onto a platform where I thought the steps that it was, there was still one more step. I'm not making any sense because I'm in my 40s. Keep going. Next one.

Starting point is 00:08:02 Oh! Ah! Crotch! You do know me. Oh, oh. Oh. Oh. Oh.

Starting point is 00:08:21 Oh no. Oh. Oh. Oh. What is he? Ah. Ah. I hope you've got a lot of these, Marie.

Starting point is 00:08:39 I'm looking at the time and we've only going for seven minutes. I love a good crotch shot. I mean, nobody likes. Nobody likes a good shot to the testicles as me. It is so fun to watch. I don't know why. Ah, just seeing people get hurt. I could watch those all day.

Starting point is 00:08:58 We don't say crotch in Australia, so I'm always confused as to whether I'm saying that correctly or not. We would say groin. Do you guys say groin shot? No, I don't know. I guess... Crot shot. Let's look at this one.

Starting point is 00:09:18 Ah, see, this is what you want. You want them to be candid. There's nothing worse. watching stage things like this. All right, Maria, I think we're going to have to do round two where you find another 20, because we are flying through these. All right. One of the many dangers of consuming endless, even Catholic content,

Starting point is 00:09:38 including this one, is that we can mistake talking about Jesus for actually knowing him. I know this is true in my own life. You know, like you listen to debate after debate, response video, after response video. And those things, don't get me wrong, can be incredibly helpful. But it could also be the case that the Lord is leading us away from that, especially if it's not leading us toward him. That's one of the reasons I love the St. Paul Center. Their membership gives you access to incredible scripture studies with Scott Hahn, John Bergsma, and other outstanding

Starting point is 00:10:14 Catholic scholars.

I got a question for you. It's going to be uncomfortable, so buckle up. When is the last time you were actually alone with God without reaching for your phone?

Starting point is 00:10:46 Blaise Pascal had this excellent quote. It's very scary. He says something like this. You can find out how unhappy you are by asking yourself this question. Can you sit alone in a dark room silently? He says all of man's problems come down to the fact that he can't. That's a really interesting. Can you sit alone in a dark room silently? I think many of us can't. We just like we try to and then our brain spazes out because we're so used to distracting ourselves that we don't even know how to. to pray. Throughout scripture, God continually calls his people in some sense into silence, in that he calls them into the wilderness, not to punish them, right, but to what, to meet them there. The wilderness strips away distractions so we can remember who we are, mainly beloved sons of the father.

Oh, that's brilliant. I don't know why I enjoy seeing people get hurt but it is terrific.

Starting point is 00:12:14 Is he going into the fire? Is that what's about to happen? There's no way he doesn't not go into the fire. Oh! It's in the fire! Yeah, all right, yeah. All right guys, it's been nine minutes. And this was meant to be a 30 minute show. All right, hey everybody, thanks so much for watching Pints with Aquinas. If you haven't some... Oh, the show's called Last Cool. I'm being told.

Starting point is 00:12:45 Thank you. Okay, so two things can be true at once, to quote Ben Shapiro. Let's look at the stats. I've got the facts, my money like Liz, or my... It could be the case that I'm trying to extend this episode longer because Maria wants me to, and it could also be true that I have stuff to say. So, this has been really wonderful. I really enjoy the Pints with Aquinas, long-form sit-down discussions,

Starting point is 00:13:06 but I've also really been enjoying the shows where I sit down with my guest and we tackle different topics. Please let me know in the description below what kind of stuff you want to do. what kind of stuff you want to see on last call. Because as you can tell, we are scraping the bottom of the bucket with a show like this. Tell me if you never want to see something like this again. And I won't be offended. Or if you want to see me interact with my guests in different ways,

Starting point is 00:13:28 let me know that too. God bless you. Thanks for being here. Ah.
