Let's talk about Fat Tuesday! - 02/17/2026

Bo, Matt, Alexia, and Ayden discuss the origins of Mardi Gras and its Catholic background.

“Mardi Gras,” meaning Fat Tuesday, developed as the final day before Ash Wednesday — historically a time when Catholics used up rich foods and prepared spiritually for Lent through fasting, prayer, and repentance.

The crew talks about:

• The historical Catholic roots of the celebration

• Why feasting came before fasting

• How Catholics today can properly prepare for Lent
