After taking a four year break on his Oklahoma ranch, Blake Shelton is back on the road and riding the high of his new album, For Recreational Use Only . After 29 number one hits, and a detour into Hollywood, Blake’s scorching hot single “Texas” proves he’s still got it. Country Thunder CEO Troy Vollhoffer recalls meeting Blake Shelton during a crazy storm that really put the “thunder” in Country Thunder. After 23 seasons on The Voice , Blake opens up about spreading himself thin and making the choice to be “a TV guy or a touring guy.” The two reminisce about Toby Keith and why being a road dog is the best way to learn how to entertain a crowd. Blake reveals how his worst on-stage “ass-kicking” taught him how to be himself in front of a crowd. After taking so much time away from the spotlight, Blake shares that it was Post Malone who reminded him that he’s still a country singer at heart.…

Since beginning the Tangent a couple years ago, Fr. Sam and I have had the opportunity to interview some amazing guests. One of those guests, who was kind enough to return to the show, is Stephanie Gray Connors. Stephanie Gray Connors is a prolific pro-life speaker. She’s debated against abortion for decades and is now the author of two books in Word on Fire’s Dignity Series - “On Assisted Suicide” and “On IVF”. I (Matt) invited Stephanie to join the Tangent again to discuss the latter of the two volumes from the Dignity Series because while I knew the Catholic Church’s teaching on IVF, I wasn’t sure I’d be able to explain why the Church teaches what She does. In today’s episode, we not only define IVF, we discuss why the Church takes such a strong stance against it, how this protects the dignity of human life, and tackle important questions like, “what about those who were born via this process?”.

Matthew Petrusek joins Fr. Sam and Matt to discuss the anatomy of various ideologies and the importance of logic in politics. GREATER SUMMARY Matthew Petrusek discusses his transition from academia to the @word-on-fire exploring the intersections of theology, ideology, and education. He emphasizes the importance of true philosophy and logic in understanding and responding to contemporary ideologies, particularly in the context of Catholic education. The discussion also delves into the nature of skepticism, the laws of logic, and the challenges posed by conflicting ideologies in today's culture. In this conversation, Matthew Petrusek also discusses how politics has filled the void left by religion, leading to a rise in various ideologies that often act as modern forms of idolatry. Petrusek identifies key idols such as pleasure, tribalism, and ourselves, and examines the relationship between ideologies like classical liberalism and wokeism. We also use transgenderism as a case study to illustrate the logical incoherence and the consequences of contemporary ideologies. The conversation also touches on the emotional manipulation present in certain ideologies.

Additionally, they address the historical context of belief in the real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist, discuss how the Eucharist is Christ's Resurrected Body (but is a re-presentation of the Cross), and dive into the idea of an "Open Table" (Something common to Protestantism but rejected by Catholics). They also discuss how the priesthood of the New Covenant is different than that of the Old Covenant, how Jesus is a Priest in the Order of Melchizedek, what the types of the Eucharist are in the Old Testament, and the necessity of the Eucharist for spiritual growth and salvation (cf.
