On this very important episode of Arroyo Grande, Raymond Arroyo sits down with Matt Fradd, the host of Pints with Aquinas, to confront one of the most urgent and overlooked crises of our time: the explosion of explicit content and how it’s reaching kids earlier than ever. Fradd shares his personal story of early exposure, how addiction takes hold, and what this epidemic is doing to the brain, relationships, and the culture at large.

The conversation also goes behind the pints, exploring how Pints with Aquinas began, why long-form interviews matter, and what it’s like to build a platform that reaches millions. Along the way, Fradd offers practical, direct advice for parents, a roadmap for anyone trying to break free, and a powerful reminder that real freedom is possible—and worth fighting for.
