Frs. Eric and Damian take on a listener-requested topic — SEASONS — and somehow end up at Muppet Babies, Lisa Frank folders, and the great crayon status wars of grade school. But once the gabbing settles, they get to something real: how God is always doing something new in us, even when we can't quite name the season we're in. A wandering, joyful conversation that lands on the gift of looking back and seeing where grace was hiding all along.

Two Jesuits talk about talking, and somehow it turns into landline nostalgia, mnemonic phone numbers, sixth-grade Valentine's gifts, and that one Boyz II Men song everyone slow-danced to. Fathers Eric and Damian wander through answering machine bits, DJ-Damian's homemade radio station, and the strange genius of dial-tone melodies before landing on something deeper: what it actually means to listen, to be present, and to let conversation be its own kind of prayer. Proof that the best conversations don't need a topic — just two people willing to stay on the line.

Spoiler: joining the Jesuits is not like applying for a job. In this listener-requested episode, Fr. Damian and Fr. Eric walk through the whole formation journey, from muggy move-in days at the novitiate to lying prostrate at ordination, with plenty of honesty about the hard parts, the funny parts, and the parts where God just kept showing up anyway.
