Catching Foxes

Gomer and Luke read poetry, discuss beauty, and generally realize they're tired of mass culture (but they will still watch the newest Marvel movie). Enjoy!

Just a touch late, but still on Tuesday! The fellas talk about mass culture, David Foster Wallace, media biases, and an addiction to being correct. It's a classic Catching Foxes extravaganza! Enjoy!

Maria Puccini, the Executive Director of In My Shoes, stops by the show this week to talk with us about her organization's mission. Enjoy!

Luke and Gomer talk about Marvel's latest offering and a round of Ten Minute Topics that cover laziness, spirituality, and doing work you love. SPOILERS abound in this episode. Skip 3:05 to 11:30 if you haven't seen Deadpool & Wolverine (assuming you're planning on it). Enjoy!

We're back! You know how Catching Foxes is. In fairness, Gomer got hit with a hurricane. The fellas talk about the lack of third places, the abundance of franchises, and living a full life.

Mrs. Ruvi stops by to chat about Inside Out 2, toxic positivity (if that even exists), and American political culture. They don't talk about Five Iron Frenzy. At least, not too much.

Luke says "they not like us" a bunch, Gomer talks about why he was sad, and Luke gets called out by St. Ambrose on Twitter. Enjoy!

The fellas are back! Down, but never out. Gone for a bit, but always returning for the validation. Gomer muses about technocracy, Luke contemplates DVDs, and the guys worry about Elon Musk.

Alec Maly, author of Out of Sons, stops by the show. As usual, only one of the guys actually read the book. Can you guess which one?

The boys are back at it again, just the two of them. Gomer reminisces on chopped n skrewed music and Hans Urs von Balthasar. Luke wonders what happens after we get sick of the anti-hero.

FC Nashville's goalkeeper, Elliot Panicco stops by the show. Luke freaks out. Gomer doesn't know who Landon Donovan is.

Luke is gone, but Gomer has a great chat with Sara Alexander of Anchor Well Mental Health Services in Sugar Land, TX. The two talk about wellness, post-partum depression, and WEIRD parenting. Stay tuned to find out what that acronym stands for. Enjoy!

The Shannon Gormley stops by to chat with Luke. Gomer is also there, but it's easy to forget that in this one. The guys and Shannon discuss Franciscan, Facebook mom groups, introversion, and Luke new bald head, among other things. Enjoy!

On the list of topics today: Band of Brothers, Durable Trades, The New Polity Conference, and, of course, roofing.

Luke is buzzed and the guys take 30 minutes to start Ten Minute Topics. Everything old is new again. In fairness, Luke is celebrating a new job. Questions discussed today include beige Catholicism, getting started in Catholic media, and whether it's impolite to ask your husband not to get fat. Enjoy!

The guys talk about Gomer's new roofing job and the value of honest work. In other job news, Luke has a new job! And - like the good old days - he cannot (yet) talk about who he's working for. Also discussed: human agency, scummy roofing companies, and the movie BlackBerry. Enjoy!

The boys are back! Catching Foxes never says die.

The guys are back in the studio discussing Steubenville. Some things don't change. We love you, Steubenville Conferences! Also included: Atomic Habits, Noelle Gross, divorce, Cincinatti, and the inability to do push-ups as a 41-year-old man. Enjoy!

It's a little meta, admittedly, but it's still a good chat. Luckily, the Star Wars prequels still get mentioned. The guys chat about deconstruction, profiting from Christianity as a brand, and why you can't show your children Raiders of the Lost Ark too early in life (they'll hate it).

Several Taylor's come up as topics alongside the Oscars, business books, and why we have to remember the human beneath the arguments we don't like.

No Gomer this week. We switched him out for someone interesting, though! Anthony D'Ambrosio, the writer and director of Triumph of the Heart, stops by the podcast to talk about the movie and the value of art.

Is YouTube Shorts making us worse people? Why aren't content sites designed with the user in mind anymore? How is Tim Allen doing these days? All these questions, and more, get answered on this week's episode. Okay the Tim Allen part is a lie, we still aren't sure how he's doing. If you know him, tell him we want him on the podcast.

Luke and Gomer are back at it again talking about TV shows and movies. Included on the docket this week: Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, Band of Brothers, Breaking Bad, and more!

First, the Twitter Argument. Second, 3 things we are looking forward to in the next year.

I was lucky to interview Jacob Imam about the merger between higher education and Catholic social justice principles, especially on the dignity of non-exploitative work and of the trades. Jacob lives in Steubenville, Ohio with his wife and kids and works at New Polity. He and Michael Sullivan launched the now approved College of St. Joseph the Worker.
