    <description>Luke and Gomer became friends Freshman year at the Franciscan University of Steubenville and 14 years later they started a podcast. The show oscillates between a conversation between just the two of us and interviews that we do together of other, fancier people. Sometimes we get explicit either by being too honest or by being too stupid. Either way, it's fun!

  <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We interview Fr. Mike Schmitz, of the Diocese of Duluth and the University of Minnesota Duluth Newman Center. He's a phenomenal homilist and you should &lt;a href="http://bulldogcatholic.org/homilies-archive/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;subscribe&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; to his homilies. He also grows an amazing beard every winter, has a vast comic book knowledge, and deeply loves his vocation to the priesthood.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000394/?ref_=tt_cl_t1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Chris Farley&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, our beloved actor&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0114694/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tommy Boy&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Christopher Nolan &lt;a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dark_Knight_Trilogy" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Batman Trilogy&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Here is an &lt;a href="http://www.peterkreeft.com/topics/discernment.htm" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;amazing article&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; by Dr. Peter Kreeft on &lt;em&gt;Discernment&lt;/em&gt;. I read it 10 years ago and it is just as good today as it was back then.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;li&gt;When Catholic schools go lame, they do the &lt;a href="https://www.enneagraminstitute.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Enneagram&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&amp;amp;rct=j&amp;amp;q=&amp;amp;esrc=s&amp;amp;source=web&amp;amp;cd=9&amp;amp;cad=rja&amp;amp;uact=8&amp;amp;ved=0CFQQtwIwCGoVChMIl5ei4eLXyAIVxveACh1C2g8A&amp;amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DYGh0PLRxxc0&amp;amp;usg=AFQjCNEpt4FOg8F66mX5SuHEgxOAs2tvxw&amp;amp;sig2=GEGHcmMZ2KVTM9G_fVYVfA&amp;amp;bvm=bv.105841590,d.eXY" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Primal Scream&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;br&gt;

You should definitely read &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0898704707?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;camp=1789&amp;amp;creativeASIN=0898704707&amp;amp;linkCode=xm2&amp;amp;tag=layevangcom-20" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Theology and Sanity&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; by Frank Sheed!

&lt;br&gt;
&lt;li&gt;When &lt;a href="http://www.scborromeo.org/ccc/p3s2c2a6.htm#2357" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Homosexuality&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; hits home.&lt;/li&gt;
