Matt Walsh on Leisure and the Modern Man
The Catholic Man Show
Matt Walsh on Rest, Leisure, and Why Men Need to Get Off Their Phones In this episode of The Catholic Man Show, Adam Minihan and David Niles sit down with Matt Walsh — Catholic commentator, author, and host of The Matt Walsh Show — for a conversation on leisure, manhood, and how technology is reshaping our minds. Matt shares his perspective on the modern man’s crisis of leisure, the dangers of mindless scrolling, and why intentional hobbies like fishing or board games are more than just recreation — they’re necessary for the soul. They discuss: * Why men today are worse at leisure than their grandfathers * How social media disorders our view of rest * The connection between leisure, joy, and being fully human * How to foster habits of real leisure in your home and family * Why every man needs one good hobby — and why that hobby should help you disconnect Matt also reflects on the importance of silence, presence, and being able to simply “be” without needing to consume content or noise.
