Catching Foxes

Luke and Gomer discuss whether ministry will ever pay a just wage, Marian receptivity, beauty in the grotesque, and all manner of worldy smart-sounding topics. Only one f-bomb was dropped this episode, so keep your ears open for it. The ratio of pay to workload in ministry is the scariest thing this year. Happy Halloween!

Luke and Gomer discuss the nature of sin and how it's structurally isolating. The guys get quite real on this one, hence the two hour episode, so get comfortable before listening.

It's episode 400! And it went up late...some things never change. Amanda, the Ministry of Agency Herself, shows up this week. She's a fellow Steubie U (wink, nudge) graduate, and it's sure to be a good time. For centuries, many men and women have left everything to give their lives to contemplation.  FREE is a journey into the inner self of man. We have obtained permission to enter and talk to peo...

There's only so much Fr. David Hust to go around, so it's back to just Luke and Gomer. They talk Catholic schools (again), creativity and ADHD, and how nonprofits can learn from the for-profit sector.

Fr. David Hust joins Luke and Gomer this week to reminisce about college (obviously) and discuss the state of the modern Church. Strap in, it's a long one!

It's a classic Catching Foxes episode this week, so strap in. Gomer finds a productivity religion, Luke already found one, apparently, and they both get mad about mediocre Catholic schools. Enjoy!

Riverside wasn't terribly kind to us this time, but after technical issues, we're back! We're Luke-less this week. However, like the hydra, we've added three heads after losing one. That's roughly how that myth goes, I'm pretty sure. It's a great conversation about race and Catholicism. Strap in and prepare to be varying degrees of uncomfortable. It's good for you.

Normally Luke and Gomer reminisce about college without a strong purpose. This time, they reminisce so The Mothership will tweet this episode. Please? Luke and Gomer discuss five things they each brought back from their time in Franciscan's Austria program and how those lessons apply to them as actually grown adults. If you didn't believe they were elder Millennials, Gomer unironically says the ph...

Luke and Gomer talk about our Western obsession with constant growth. Also on the docket for today's episode: flying is the worst, men are dumb in groups (but amicably fun), divorce (yikes), and Apple Vision Pro (again). Enjoy!

Guess who's here...it's Dave VanVickle! Dave "Clubber Lang Gym for Men" VanVickle stops in to give us his thoughts on exorcisms and the morality of the UFC.

We're changing our upload schedule! Turns out people listen to more podcasts on Tuesdays than Fridays and we need that sweet, sweet ad money. We've got a fun round of Ten Minute Topics for this one! Highlights include silverback gorillas, the Catholic imagination, and FHA loans. If that set of topics doesn't intrigue you, frankly, we don't know what will. See you next Tuesday!

Luke and Gomer have Rose M. Rea on the show to talk about her book Defend Us in Battle: The True Story of MA2 Navy SEAL Medal of Honor Recipient Michael A. Monsoor. Of course, when you have three Franciscan grads in one place, the Mothership will also be talked about.

Usually, we can blame Luke and Gomer for the late uploads. This time it's on Producer Joe. Whoopsie! We've got topics, though! Luke and Gomer discuss fear of the Lord, how men and women can have proper friendship, and Luke's transformation into the Kanye West of Catholic podcasting.

That thing Luke's been not so subtly hinting at? We talk about it in depth. Also, Barbenheimer makes its return, Cross Creek Tavern's origin story is revealed, and Producer Joe reaches for the bleep button frequently.

It's not too late to talk about Barbenheimer, right? Luke and Gomer rank Christopher Nolan movies, continue to discuss meta-modernism, and consider whether Barbie is actually a properly conservative film.

BONUS: Kateri Gormley, Gomer's oldest, joins us on the show to make fun of her dad for 10 minutes. Top Gun: Maverick which Tom Cruise used to save movie theaters, is a welcomed change of pace, but also is out of place. YouTuber Thomas Flight breaks down Modern movies ( High Noon ), Postmodern movies ( No Country for Old Men, Pulp Fiction ) and Metamodern movies ( Everything, Everywhere, All at Onc...

Gomer and Luke chat for 1 hour on the horribleness of getting into a rut, Luke's understanding of "strategy", the movie the Sound of Freedom, and Gomer asks a random biblical question: What happens if we delete John 6:4 ?

Gomer workshops his talks on his children (in between episodes of the mediocre Halo series) and Luke contemplates how to end his time at Notre Dame well. Patreon merch is en route and it is glorious!

Luke's Mom is here to talk about her experience in the Catholic charismatic movement!

Let's chat masculinity.

We were going to talk about Apple's Vision Pro and then go from there. Instead, we talk about Intellectual Formation and then talk about Apple's Vision Pro.

We fixed Gomer's audio! And we talk about predestination and the theology of the keys.

Let's chat about art.

We talk Guardians of the Galaxy and Shakespeare. Then Luke brought it all together. Like a boss.
