Gomer thinks of quitting the show
January 28th, 2022 | 1 hr 19 mins
burnout, catholic, fatigue, work
(sorry for the audio) "The animal wrests the whip from its master and whips itself in order to become master, not knowing that this is only a fantasy produced by a new knot in the master's whiplash." Gomer contemplated quitting because he's doing a hundred things and realized that so is Luke. It's a bit much, but we are doing this to ourselves. Over and over again.

John Boy and Billy BS: Luke killed a mouse, Gomer’s wife killed a scorpion, while Gomer was naked! We have a new Take Gomer to the Woodshed moment. TOPIC: Patrick Lencioni's "Six Types of Working Genius" and how it applies to the Church. These are incredibly insightful.

When it's time to move on
March 12th, 2021 | 1 hr 28 mins
culture, discernment, moving on, work
WORK CULTURE. Lukey got a new job. I asked, "How'd ya know it's time to move on?" This is a show about figuring out your place, your role, your job, your career, and your culture. It's about when you know to say "YES" to a new opportunity and when to say "NO", too. Culture, especially in Church Work, can be never tricksy!

Luke's been a bad, bad girl.
August 2nd, 2019 | 1 hr 23 mins
90's, music, work
We started talking about Fiona Apple's "Criminal", then Luke posited that 90's pop was "deeper" because Gen-Xers were angsty and hypersexual. We disagreed, until it came to Ginger Spice. Then, we agreed too much! Also, Gomer is a boss and Luke wonders if I can make my employees virtuous. Gomer doubts it. END PART ONE.

This Show Ended Our Friendship
March 30th, 2018 | 1 hr 24 mins
church, leadership, non-profit, work, yelling
Thanks to The Liturgical Institute and ViaCatholic.org for sponsoring the show! Unfortunately, it was the show where Luke and I argue so much that we hate each other. Luke tells me grace builds upon nature, again, but then he says that's why parishes need to study how to run successful non-profits. Wait a second. Hold on a minute. Didn't Luke pour haterade on everything I said in the past that involved similar suggestions? We yell.

comedy, louis ck, overwork, sexual assault, work, work life balance
We discuss the myth of overwork, thinking that working hard and working a lot are the same thing. Gomer shares the disgust he has with himself for overbooking his October/November schedule, every weekend for 7 weekends in a row. Luke then talks about one of his heroes, Louis CK, and what it means for him in the wake of the accusations against him. What about the victims? What about the problem of empathy?
