This man's accent sounds like it's from a different era. Hands down one of the most unique accents I've heard.
-
Hallow needs to get this man a rosary playlist 😂
-
Alan is hands down one of the best guests Pints has had on. What a great, lively character and thinker! And the accent is 👌.
-
Someone give this man a movie role.
-
I’m a Protestant in a conservative church(Campbell Stone) 5 minutes from Steubenville. I understand what Dr. Alan is saying. I appreciate his courage. I’ve never understood why our brothers and sisters can be so hurtful to those who honestly love God. Thank you for this video! Please pray that the Spirit points me in the right direction! Thanks friends!
-
Brothers I ask you to pray for me a Catholic thats starting to fall away, I will never stop going to mass, but my sins are getting a hold of me, please pray for me.
-
Dr. Harrelson, every day between now and Christmas I'll be praying for you, your wife, and your children. Fr. Thomas Hoisington
-
I'm only 5 minutes in and I love this guy. And I could listen to him talk for hours. So good to hear home-grown accents.
-
Dr. Harrelson's accent actually normalized Matt's! 🤗
-
That accent is beautiful!
-
Delightful interview. The best of protestant southern gentleman piety, on the road to the Catholic Church. I love hearing 'literature' pronounced like Flannery O'Connor said it.
-
Praying for healing and reconciliation between Alan and his parents. God bless his courage and integrity to follow his conscience despite the heavy cost.
-
I just started it and it is going to be totally awesome. Dr. Harrelson is a former professor of mine from Liberty University and and mentor of mine. He is a great fellow Christian and one I am proud to call my brother in Christ. Thank you, Matt, for having him on. God bless...
-
I am so glad he addressed the prejudice that exists towards Catholics in the south. I am not yet Catholic, but praying one day I get to be. I see so much joy in his face when he talks about the Catholic faith and I understand it, because I feel that joy too. God bless him and his wife and family on their journey home.❤
-
Never heard of this guy before, but as a pipe-smoking Catholic I love him.
-
“Son, I’ve got class I ain’t even used yet.” Perhaps one the greatest lines ever said by a human being!
-
I got 10 minutes into this episode and decided I wanted to buy a pipe. So I went to the Briary here in Birmingham which Alan called out! They helped me pick everything out and even sat and smoked with me and we talked theology for a bit 😊 This episode led me to have such a blessed day!!
-
I do believe we're seeing the birth of another great apologist in real time. I've been a fan of Dr Harrelson since his first YouTube video. I'll be praying for him and his wife, his children, and especially his parents. Welcome home!
-
I love this interview. My father smoked the pipe! You are making me cry. I can still smell the Tabacco. The father of 8 children and a devout catholic wonderful father and yes, a gentleman for sure. Three cheers to pipe smokers.

I would pay good money for an audiobook of this guy reading Shelby Foote's Civil War trilogy.
