Robert is back in the GK Chesterton well for a pretty challenging quote.

Francis is of course the captain as the guys try to convince everyone the MCU since Endgame is pretty solid stuff.

Francis takes charge and the OGs kick around a fun nugget from actor Gregory Peck.

The return of Bjorn! Er, Michael that is now. Martin's youngest spawn returns to the podcast while visiting from the Land of the Rising Sun and discusses his spiritual journey and why others like him are doing the same. And yes, he insists that he's no longer heathen Bjorn, he is Michael, named for the Archangel, and even Martin has to respect this.

Robert takes the reins and the guys chew on an anonymous quote about living a creative life.

Francis Returns! He joins Brother Andre, Robert and Martin for a lengthy discussion on what it means to be manly, masculine, whatever. Not sure we actually came up with anything surefire, but it was a good talk.

Captain Martin went old school on Brother Andre and Robert but with the twist of providing some quotes to pick from for the episode, all from 20th century hero Winston Churchill.

Martin is in the Captain's chair and the guys come up with a topic on the fly, places we've been and where we want to go. A travel episode! First time ever.

Robert crushes a Chesterton quote like a hammer this episode resulting in a lively discussion that veers into several unexpected directions.

Francis is feeling a little ganged up on here but the guys tackle part 2 of a discussion of Napoleon Bonaparte covering his military and political history from Egypt on through Waterloo and finally St. Helena and into history.

Brother Andre brings the gang a timely and uplifting MLK quote.

FINALLY! Francis leads the guys on an initial exploration of Napoleon Bonaparte. From his humble beginnings through his ascension as First Consul, the guys try and explain both the why as well as the who.

Francis brings the goodness with another character quote.

The guys chat up indie author Mick Williams, discussing his Old Farts Club and Father Black series of books. Super fun.

In a shocking turn of events, Robert shamelessly coopts Martin's love of Albert Camus and choses a quotation from him to bandy about with them and Francis. Great things ensue from there . . .
