Hello, everyone! Stumbled upon this channel through James being featured on MSSP. Thanks for welcoming the DAWGZ w/ open arms. 🤗💯

[@Tricorncitizen]

It's insane that James Mccaan is on my two favorite podcasts that have nothing to do with each other, Pints and Matt and Shane's Secret Podcast. He always brings some refreshing conservative comedy to both

[@bucksfan77]

Same boat brother. So bizarre. I pray Shane comes back to the faith hard in the future

[@youngmrjazz]

I maintain that MSSP is, at the deepest level, a Catholic podcast.

[@biskit8050]

Catholic comedy, since conservative word has been hijacked by warmongerers

[@steveronson3840]

Many thanks Matt for showcasing James who I know and rate as one of the most talented and brilliant young comedians- he’s a good man

[@myltwon]

Blessed be the Dawgs who get to watch a mssp and pints pod with the same guest

[@danieledmonds2857]

1:41:45 I’m an Aussie and I understand and admire the fact that the US Constitution recognises the unalienable right to keep and bear arms. Thou shall not commit murder = unalienable right to life = unalienable right to defend life from lethal threats = unalienable right to keep and bear arms. Keeping and bearing arms is not just an unalienable right, but the moral duty of all husbands and fathers with innocent lives under their protection.

[@anglaismoyen]

I don't discount your argument but you could definitely argue against widespread gun ownership from a prolife perspective too.

[@ThiefKingofLegend]

[@drascula3806]

Never expected to see MSSP and Pints with Aquinas sharing a guest hahaha

[@ann5028]

Or sharing their listeners 😅 didn’t think anyone else knew about mssp here

[@Fitzn]

Catholics have similar tastes, I guess😂

[@Russ1875]

Pints should have Gay Bill on as the next guest 😂

[@crisisactor420]

​@@ann5028 Now that I think about it I guess it's not that surprising lol they're both born and raised Catholic. Who know maybe they'll come back to the church someday and they'll be on the show

[@nklinef]

Ari Sharif would be an AMAZING guest on Pints with Aquinas!

[@IlluminosaImmortalis]

This interview really spoke to me and I was not expecting that, I just expecting to get some good chuckles out of it. When Matt and James discussed moving to an extremely cold place in the middle of Winter and all the difficulties there...phew I have been there, recently and and a five years ago too. Both cases aged me. We live in a COLD and EXPENSIVE part of the world and it has been so tough on my health and I can see how much it has aged my husband and myself. But we have to live here right now for my husbands work and we have an amazing Catholic community that has brought us so much joy and growth. The solidarity from this interview was more comforting than perhaps it should have been 😅

[@lweberl24]

Can I just say that “The Catechast” is a GREAT youtube channel? I don’t know if James and Jack will continue with it, but it was soooooo good!

[@naomi_enders]

It's definitely one of my favorites. I hope they keep it going!

[@AndreW-yn7ux]

Crusading the faith back to the dawgs of MSSP I love it brother. Let’s get them back on the right side!

James must do a channel of Chesterton poems… Everybody like this so Matt sees it!

Matt, you re-visiting AFL players from days-gone- by cemented your true Aussie roots 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@nateauld]

This will sound pretentious but - I think of laughter as the involuntary reaction to the realization of incongruity between reality and some absurdity. Essentially a thunderclap of coming back to the truth in a moment. Performative laughter is fake and isn't the same, and can be learned or acted, but real laughter is not controlled. I think drawing laughter out of people is a skill that requires knowing both the truth and the absurd reality of our current culture/state/world, etc. And more than that, it requires being clever enough to sneak up on the punch so people don't see it coming. All that to say, I think vulgarity is a secondary issue for the comedian, as James says. It matters only to get to a good incongruity cleverly than it does to stay clean on the journey there. But the punch could be a clean Christian point that is only cleverly arrived at by going through the cultural mud. For example, Chappelle often brings detractors along by agreeing with them in the setup and punching them with his point at the end, otherwise they wouldn't agree to the journey of the joke - and if they do, and they laugh, he just caused them to self reflect on their own absurdity and become slightly more humble in their view. I think vulgarity can be used similarly and in many other ways productively. Sorry to everyone who read through that thinking I'm a pseudo-intellectual, self-important douche, you're right.

[@finishercar]

Happy birthday Thursday, from a fellow single young Catholic! As someone from a working class background myself, I lean more towards James's opinion on "vulgarity" than Matt's. Obviously there are many degenerate comedians who use it to push bad messages or just for shock value, but I think it's also easier for non-degenerate comedians to build a connection with their audiences with it. It depends on what kind of comedian you are and the intent behind it. Norm MacDonald was a Christian but he didn't do "Christian" stand-up.

[@ryansmith8083]

You're awesome James

[@manusdoogan2887]

Loved the chat with James Matt seems like a sound lad. One thing GAA is not played on a soccer pitch as an Irishman i spat out my coffee when you said that lol. GAA pitches are 55 metres longer than soccer pitches and the width of a Gaelic pitch is the same as length of a soccer pitch.

[@smallbeginning2]

The last Latin Mass that I know of in perth WA just got shut down by the bishop of perth even though it was packed to the rafters... Can you invite Fr. Rowe onto the show? Get us some exposure? It's a travesty all the things that have gone down.

James look at Cincinnati and Dayton area too. Dave Chappell lives just north of Dayton, Ohio he holds outdoor comedy shows during the summer.

[@FrJacobSJ]

If you visit Wyoming go to the St. Stephens Mission outside Riverton to see a neat missionary church, then head north and drive up through the Wind River Canyon, picnic at the Wedding of the Waters, and soak in the hot springs in Thermopolis as you make your way to Cody. There visit the Bill Cody museum, especially the firearms museum, before you head into Yellowstone National Park. :-) Let me know if you need a chaplain for your trip!

[@trevlesh4742]

If youre looking for breathtaking sceneries go to the sparsely populated upper peninsula of Michgian in the summer or fall when leaves are changing. Its within driving distance of Ohio and the beauty of the Great Lakes is difficult to comprehend. Different from yellowstone but as close as one can get in the midwest.

Hello James, I’m an American, and I have other American friends who are all Catholic Monarchists, as in we believe a Catholic Monarchy is the ideal form of government and that separation of Church and state is foolish. You are correct that there are very few Americans who would hold that belief.

Say... about the supporter thing. Are you guys even active over on Patreon, still? I think I have a "Patreon anniversary" coming up, but then I'm also a Locals supporter, but I wonder if I should, or if I have to (I know other Patreon creators put a pause on payments when they know they won't be putting anything up for a long while). And I remember Street Fighter 2. Only from a big arcade machine at the kiosk closest to my school when I was 13 through 15. I suppose I should feel guilty about never giving the machine any of my money, but being very excited watching some of the other boys from school wrecking their way through the game.

Too bad they tore down all the monuments in RVA. But if you're interested in Civil War history, Richmond and Petersburg have a lot. Siege of Petersburg (Battle of the Crater, depicted in the movie Glory) trenchworks had a big influence on WWI, unless I'm mistaken. Good bit of Revolutionary War history, too. Patrick Henry's speech at St John's in Richmond

[@mariamccracken3814]

Add to that, Appomattox Court House where the Civil War ended. Worth the drive.

James was talking about Ladyballers just not being funny because it was pushing an agenda. I wonder if he's ever watched White Chicks. It's not pushing an agenda, but you know it could never be made today. Gosh dang it is so funny, and it reminds me of Ladyballers in a way. When he does his Daily Wire movie, maybe he can use that as inspiration.

[@KyleWhittington]

Believe it or not, the people that produce this podcast require money to do luxurious things such as feed and provide shelter for their families. One way to earn money is to run ads. The podcast itself is not free to produce either and the ads offset that cost. If you don’t like YT ads, YT premium is worth the cost.
