Boys' Lunch

The Boys' Lunch crew is back in the building and back to Monday postings. Tell your friends and family. Today we have the Paul in the Hot Seat. No stone will be left unturned. You're getting the cream of the crop.

This was originally recorded on July 14th and is now being posted on August 11th. Facepalm emoji, am I right? Paul and Joey catch up on their summers and then discuss the life of Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati and reasons why everyone should know about him. 

As we approach the Fourth of July we decided to look at some principles of America. Was National Treasure real?? Listen to find out. We also catch up on different trips, weddings, and happenings that have been going on. Live from Joey's parent's basement, you are not going to want to miss this

Recorded in Paul's basement, these two teachers go back and forth like Mayweather and Pacquiao and discuss a misunderstood Bible verse (some would say overused in modern Christian songs). What is the natural response of finding God? What does it look like to praise God in 2021? Did Paul get to see the Delicatessen that Goldberg worked at in Mighty Ducks? All big questions answered in this podcast.

What goes into believing in God or proving His existence? We give a birds-eye view of this process and discuss themes of Pascal's Wager, Newman's Assent, a goose getting smacked down by a car, etc.  

We give a nod to "The Interview with Jude" this week and put Joey on the Hot Seat. Get ready. Nothing is off limits.

Grass news, house news, seniors are gone. The two of us dive into trends of people's attitude towards organized religion. We look at the change in parish life and participation the past few decades and ask the question, "Will the next generation get baptized?"

Our intern makes an appearance and surprises us with a gift. We also talk about the new social mobility of life and how that might change our connection to the past. And trains.

Do you feel like you're in a rut? Well, not sure if this podcast will help, but we do discuss monotony, perspective, bearing fruit, and Fictional Cereal Characters.

We discuss end of the year feelings, she-bear attacks in the Bible, and our love for our children. We have three of our former students jump on the mic to tell us what it's really like out there. What a treat.

These two wild teachers discuss the best burger in town, buffets, and thoughts on the tambourine at Mass. We highlight the lives and inspiration of two Doctors of the Church (St. Catherine of Siena and St. Hildegard of Bingen) and what we can learn from them.

Hypothetical animal fights, 30th birthday, some listener questions. We can't be child-like....we're in our thirties. We ponder some of St. Therese's teachings. Ever heard of her?

We work our way through failure and fear of failure. I'm kind of scared that we failed at it. We also have some hot takes on childhood snacks and discuss the visit from our Bishop.

We're back! Sump Pumps, Blizzards, and more. We catch up with each other after our hiatus and reflect on important people in our lives, the spiritual journey, and Holy Week. What happened on Holy Monday??? Must see content.

Paul and I weren't able to record a podcast this week. If you are interested in purchasing a mug please send an email to boyslunch1@gmail.com so we can get an estimate of how many to order. 

More merch talk, sports superstitions, and a touching Stations of the Cross. We talk about two things that tend to draw youth (and really everyone) out of the apathy they might face when seeking Christ. Maybe it's spaghetti and Nickelback.

Men Handling Illness, Oprah, Merch. We talk about striking a balance between loving the teachings and living the teachings. Fan Questions at the end.

How many times can two guys say the word leisure in 20 minutes? Seriously, let us know. We answer a few fan questions and talk about our modern approach to both work and free time.

Have we intellectually accepted the reality of Christ? Has that actually changed the way we live? I don't know. It's probably our intern's fault.

There is a storm a-brewin' (literally). Paul and I couldn't meet up this week so I asked my wife if she would join me. We talk about some tips for Lent and go through some rapid-fire questions about our relationship.  Here are some resources for Lent: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jhHwfAWpOTG2vo85c0aNtQL8NWXqF2R5WTIIJtkug-k/edit?usp=sharing https://www.whitehouseblackshutters.com/40-bag...
