Episodes
-
#107 - Season 2
Action-packed summers, exciting alumni updates, midlife crises, and a promise of a raucous, adrenaline-fueled Season 2! Episode Art Credit: Joseph and Jameson McGraw (absolute dawgs)
-
#106 - Hot Takes on Figs!
Figs, wheat, and a sobering reminder from a priest. What do we need to leave in the tomb? Listen to the whole episode to see how all of these fit.
-
#105 - Easter Hangover
Shoutout to Jameson and Joseph McGraw for the new image. We will give a worthy shoutout on the next podcast. In this 25 minute episode we discuss how feasting, comforts, and relaxing our commitments after a time of penance can lull as back into the ways of the world. We reference passages from…

#104 - Musings
A collection of thoughts to sit with. We discuss St. Luke's account of Christ, revisiting stories with a deeper understanding of the goodness of God and the realities of humanity, Stations of the Cross we have a hard time meditating with, and so much more.
-
#103 - Are Your Hands Full?
Topics are discussed. Ideas are shared. Laughs are had. We catch up on life and discuss a couple of thoughts on the desire to change for Christ and the follow through.
-
#102 - St. Mary Magdalene
This was recorded at the beginning of February. We catch up on a month and a half of life and talk about some moments of the life of St. Mary Magdalene. What are some indications of true conversion? We look at trust, being prompt, generous, and constant. Happy belated Birthday to our...
-
#101 - Fight or Flight
Are you a fighter or flighter? It depends on what God is asking of us. We go through a reflection on the Holy Family that might be nice to sit with during the Advent and Christmas season....or really any season. Thank you for all of those that have joined back in with us, here's to another 100!
-
#100 - 100! (ft. Fr. Chase)
We sit down with Fr. Chase Hilgenbrinck, the Vocations Director for the Diocese of Peoria. We talk about hearing God's voice, discerning, taking action, advice for parents and more. We could have kept talking for awhile so hopefully we can have Fr. Chase back on some time soon. Enjoy!
-
#99 - How Did We Miss This?
99th Episode! Do you think we talk about leaving the 99 to find the 1? That would have been a good idea... Instead we discuss a man so influential it is crazy that we haven't really talked about him.
-
#98 - Out of the Depths
Did Paul share personal information about his life? Without even being asked?? It is often in silence that we observe the most authentic communication taking place between people who are in love. Do we experience that when we enter into silence with God? Can we listen for what is deeper and what…
more -
#97 - Good Grief
We catch up on two weeks of Fall action and discuss grieving those that have died.
-
#96 - This is Wild (Uglier Barns)
We somehow managed to have about 5 Central Alum shoutouts during our banter (listen to see if it is you!) Working to have an eternal perspective that is healthy. We dabble through some quotes from St. Augustine, C.S. Lewis, and this prayer that is posted below. Lord, I believe in You: may I…
more -
#95 - Ugly Barns
Catch up with Boys' Lunch as we talk about former student sightings and happenings at the school. We start a series on the vanity of the world, the ugliness of sin, the Parable of the Rich Fool, mortality, grief, death and so much more! Hope your little ears enjoy this
-
#94 - Three Personal Encounters
Welcome, "@a Glance" listeners! Today we talk about Christ's encounters with three people in the Gospels and relate it to our approach with God today.
-
#93 - Over-Consumption and the Future of Prayer
Today we muse through ideas of over-consumption, being overwhelmed with too many choices, and the capacity for future generations to sit, meditate and receive the gift of prayer. Do we treat God and spiritual devotions like we treat podcasts and shows? If you make it to the end, there is even an...
-
#92 - A Twitch Upon the Thread
In this enlightening summer episode we intertwine the Sacred Heart of Jesus, Brideshead Revisited, rock climbing and more.
-
#91 - Habemus Catch Up
We catch up on life events and discuss the election of Pope Leo XIV.
-
#90 - Call it a Comeback
We are back after a year and a half hiatus and we are excited to unpack a lot of great moments, thoughts, and spiritual insights over the next few months. Here's a conversation we had that we actually recorded
-
Don't Call it a Comeback (Announcement)
Boys' Lunch might be back...
-
#89 - Merry Christmas
A Christmas miracle! A podcast has been posted! We take some time to reflect on this little gem from Newman and Bishop Barron. Barron says "ideas are only really known across great stretches of space and time, with the gradual unfolding of their many dimensions...the Incarnation (God becoming…
more -
#88 - It's Been a While
We are back on the mic talking about the busy start to our school year. We talk about the fruits of contemplation when you might not hear God directly speak to you in prayer. We did it. We recorded and posted.
-
#87 - One of Our Best Yet
We talk about God's movements of transformation in our lives this summer. I hope you are able to listen. We also talk about Paul's trip to the beach and a night to be emo at Paramore. Enjoy
-
#86 - 42-Minute Fiasco: A Man Speaks for His Generation
Intern Gets His Big Break. Aidan Goes to School. Chop Chop Fold Fold. 18 Going on 50. A Boy and His Khakis. I think these titles explain it all.
-
#85 - I Feel Lost
We discuss the idea of being lost in life and lost in this world. How can we find good in this and seek our resting place? How can we start to discern the voice of the Shepherd?
-
#84 - Fire Within
We jump on the mic for the first time this summer. This is the longest we have been away from each other. It has been tough. Although we were separate from each other, we were together intellectually and spiritually in our reading of Fr. Thomas Dubay's "Fire Within". We begin a discussion on...
-
#83 - Is this Really the End...?
After 10 years in the profession we take a look at how we grew personally and professionally this past year. Enjoy
-
#82 - Pulp Free Fiction
Happy summer! This has very little to do with the movie Pulp Fiction and mostly to do with the power of creative humans to abstract reality out for us and teach us the patterns of life. Specifically, the ability of the saints to tell us our story and mission through their writings, hymns…
more -
#81 - Paul's New Hobby
You'll have to click to find out! What a podcast...I would not want to miss this if I were you
-
#80 - The Hymn of the Heart
We catch you up on Spring Break, the end of Lent, and Easter. Today's discussion talks about the importance of simple creeds lived out within our life and spiritual musings. How can we learn from oral cultures and their ability to memorize important passages, hymns, statements and internalize…
more -
#79 - People Ask Us Questions
It has been an adventure getting this recorded and uploaded, but here it is. We answer questions from people around the school and from our very own homes! Hope you enjoy
-
#78 - Making Use of Suffering
We look at the idea of unique ways to become Christ-like in our lives. We quickly look at the willingness to enter the desert with Christ and (briefly, I promise) Dmitri Karamazov's willingness to unjustly suffer in prison on behalf of all. We see how all of us in small ways can use moments to…
more -
#77 - Divine Hide and Seek
Some quick life updates about baptisms and trophies. We take a gander at some poems that have been supplying some good prayer and some themes we have been interested in (the journey of humanity, breakthrough of grace, longing of the heart, etc.). There are also only like two Brothers Karamazov...
-
#76 - A Tribute
We catch up on our Christmas break and the beginning of second semester and give a tribute to a man that gave so much to our Church. Hopefully we do his life a little bit of justice and maybe help people understand his contributions.
-
#75 - Age and Perspective
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Here's a 40 minute New Year's present to you all. This was a discussion we had during Finals, hope you enjoy!
-
#74 - A Good One
Sorry for the delay. We recorded this on December 6th, but I sat on it for awhile. I am ready to release it to the wild. This episode discusses two themes. One is about the relatability of the messiness in stories, art, etc. The other is about growing up and realizing you still have a lot to work...
-
#73 - House
We have a special guest for a special topic. We are excited for some of the opportunities that are coming to Central next year and try to give our perspective as teachers. Enjoy!
-
#72 - Pride and Humility
We catch up and look at the hidden vice behind many of our actions. While we tend to focus on the immediate and external sins and failings, it is often the deeper spiritual sin and attachments that are the root cause. A quick gander at the Litany of Humility can challenge us and call us to more.
-
#71 - All the Feels
This has been one of my favorite discussions and reminds me of some of our conversations in college over a cup of coffee. We take a small section of a book and pull out some cool and deep human emotions and try to articulate the beauty of God's love and humanity's search for him. The loving heart...
-
#70 - Building Culture and Community
We catch up and talk about the genius of St. Benedict. How can the principles in his "Rule" guide us in our vocations and the groups we are a part of?
-
#69 - I'm Deeper Than a Kiddie Pool
Homecoming, student sightings, updates on life and school. Our topic is based on growing and gathering experiences, being able to work through and name the feelings, emotions, and struggles you are going through. The ability to read a parable, life of a saint, or work of literature that lays out...
-
#68 - Becoming Unsettled
We discuss baby news, a million dollar bill, and get to the bottom of what "gas" means. We look at the trend of being "spiritual, but not religious" or "religiously unaffiliated" and how it misses out on what is actually going to challenge us and call us to what we're made for.
-
#67 - Joy and Cynicism
What will you choose today? Joy or Cynicism? We jump into some PCSL updates, what we've been reading, and an investigation into what they are putting into chicken. We break down a pretty revealing paragraph about the mindset and outlook of someone who chooses to by cynical (spoiler alert: does…
more -
#66 - Good Morning
We are back from our end of summer hiatus with a jam-packed 24 minute episode. Go Saints!
-
#65 - Keep it Simple, Return to the Father
Was Josh Vogel sleeping at Mass?? We give an update on the rest of the happenings of July and take a look at what to do when you have a spiritual writer's block. We talk about self-induced dryness in prayer and how to return to the basics and focus on what works. Share your life with God and…
more -
#64 - Curing Boredom with Reverence
We discuss the Fourth of July and some pretty good zingers about reverence and recognizing the greatness of creation and the people around us. Are you suffering from a bad case of the Mondays? Give this a listen
-
#63 - House Hunters: Church Edition
We catch you up on some fun events from June and discuss why the space around us matters. The form and function of buildings and architecture can move people and create an experience that draws one deeper into their relationship with God. If that previous statement is true, why are there so many...
-
#62 - Are We Writing A Book??
Is this just a clickbait title?!? I guess you'll have to click to check out. We talk about books and the idea of building a library for yourself and family. And maybe talk about writing a Boys' Lunch book! Maybe... guess you'll have to listen!!
-
#61 - Imagine a World...
Boys' Lunch summer. We recorded two episodes last night in Joey's basement. Here is the first.
-
#60 - Receptive to the Author
Here's to 60! Thank you for listening this long. We will continue to record and post this summer, so keep checking every Monday...
-
#59 - Blinded by the Light
What do you do with an animal carcass in your yard? Is hockey a real sport? We look at some themes of light and darkness and how to build up the state of our soul. Literature can be fun!
