Fr. Kevin Kolker, the youngest of four siblings, including The BeatiDude's very own Paul Kolker, serves as the Parochial Vicar at Christ the King Catholic Church in Dallas, Texas. This episode covers the arch of Fr. Kevin’s life journey to the priesthood.
Fr. Kevin grew up in Coppell, Texas, and attended St. Ann Catholic Parish. He went to school at St. Luke in Irving before entering high school at Jesuit Dallas, where he learned about being a man for others and doing all things for the great glory of God. He attended Texas A&M University, where he received degrees in both Mathematics and Philosophy before a short stint in corporate America.
Despite his efforts to run from the Lord’s call, Fr. Kevin came to understand that God wanted him to be a diocesan priest. He then completed his philosophy studies at Holy Trinity Seminary in Dallas before going to Notre Dame Seminary in New Orleans to study theology from 2018-2023. Fr. Kevin was ordained a priest on May 20th, 2023, alongside 7 other men in the Diocese of Dallas.

After interviewing others on Catholic radio for decades, Dave Palmer, General Manager for the Guadalupe Radio Network in North Texas, joins The BeatiDudes as a special guest for one of the funniest episodes across all three seasons.
Early in his career, Dave was inspired by late-night host David Letterman's path and decided to be a weatherman, hoping to break into comedy. Yes, you read that correctly. Throughout his career, Dave has also served as a theology teacher, a morning DJ on a local hit radio station, and an online expert on St Thomas Aquinas’s Summa Theologica.
This show covers a little bit of everything, including trust in the Lord, marriage, humor, and the call to holiness in workplace vocations.
On Blessed are the Joke Makers, the Dudes must take on the persona of someone from the past or from the future to address the prompt, “What should I give up for Lent?”
The TBD question of the day: complete this sentence… State your name, and then say what you hate.
On Reverse Simpsons, we hand the show over to Dave Palmer to serve as the host.

The end of Season Two of The BeatiDudes is here, and we are serving up a special double-header for your double pleasure. This is the longest episode in history…. actually, this is two different recording sessions spliced together to form a finale worthy of serving as the exclamation mark to Season Two.
First, The BeatiDudes reflect on Season Two and their first trip around the sun together.
Then, each Dude takes turns surprising the others with a series of TBD Questions for all to answer.
TBD Question #1: What is something from your life or a moment that you wish you could change or do-over?
TBD Question #2 – What is something you are proud of in your life that you caused to happen?
TBD Question #3: What is one thing your wife would like us to change about The BeatiDudes podcast?
After TBD, The BeatiDudes surprise call music legend Dave Moore for a quick check-in and a dive into the thought process behind Dave’s masterpiece 80s rock anthem about The BeatiDudes.
Then the Dudes enter a super special bonus edition of Blessed are the Joke Makers, with each Dude getting their own prompt and five different characters to play.
As the show gets ready to wrap up, Superfan “Christopher in the Comments” surprises the Dudes by knocking on the door and joining the show. He shares his reflection on Season Two and provides the final point totals.
The show ends with Christopher joining in for a round of Blessed are the Joke Makers, in which they must all assume the persona of the Angriest Road-Rager to address the prompt, “You know you’re Catholic when you love talking about _____.”
Yes, thanks to pioneers like Ali Hoffman, there are, in fact, women guests on The BeatiDudes.
By invitation from the Diocese of Dallas, The BeatiDudes brought the Tiny Table to the 2024 Dallas Catholic Youth Conference to interview the keynote speakers, including Ali, along with many conference attendees.
Ali Hoffman has a passion for Jesus, the Catholic Church, her family, donuts, and Chipotle, in that order. She served with NET Ministries after graduating from the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minnesota, with a degree in Catholic Studies and Family Studies. Later she moved back home to Texas, where she was the co-youth coordinator at St. Catherine of Siena Catholic Church in Carrollton, Texas, for 6 years.
She now travels the globe full-time, preaching the Gospel and making disciples.
During the show, Ali shares her love for Jesus and provides a sneak peek into the talks she was preparing to give to almost 1500 conference attendees.
Ali joins the Dudes as a participant for Blessed are the Joke Makers, during which each person must take on the persona of an Over-Achieving Soccer Mom to address the prompt, David’s secret weapon to defeat Goliath was _______.”
So, relax and “get your dogs up for Jesus” during this special episode with our first-ever female guest.
As John Michael and his wife journeyed through their second pregnancy, they learned that their son would be born with Down Syndrome. Instead of running from this challenging circumstance, the Lucido family fully embraced God’s perfect gift to the world by naming their son Judah, which in Hebrew means “Praise be to God.”
John Michael is a regional director at FOCUS (Fellowship of Catholic University Students), where he and his wife serve the Lord by accompanying others, including fellow missionaries. Their work as a married couple with three kids serves as a model and a witness for young adults nationwide.
This episode of The BeatiDudes is a testament to the power of faith and family and the beauty that comes from our complete surrender to God’s will.

This is a story of God’s mercy and His pursuit of true relationship with each of us.

What the Gospels do not record, Shroud science does. But what does it reveal about the physical sufferings of the man? Are signs of Resurrection traced on the Shroud?

Do these linen fibers contain the blood that was shed for our salvation?

Rob Hays, CEO of Ashford Hospitality, is a finance and business leader with two decades of experience in strategy and corporate finance. He is passionate about finding innovative ways to solve problems, particularly for businesses and industries that are trying to build a better society and have a focus on human flourishing.
In addition to his business skills and accomplishments, Rob enjoys intellectual & moral formation, the integration of faith in professional life, helping those who struggle with issues of homelessness, and striving to live as a faithful Catholic husband, father, friend, and mentor.
Rob shares his reflection on how difficult it was to navigate the 2020 shutdowns while running a hospitality company that needed to furlough roughly 90% of its workforce. Around that same time, Rob was asked if he would move into the CEO role, which he gladly accepted after a powerful conversation with his dad.
When reflecting on how he managed the stress of the situation, Rob was grateful that he had formed the habits of daily prayer, Rosaries, and mass before facing the storm. He found that he could not make it through the day if not for those spiritual habits.
On Blessed are the Joke Makers, the Dudes must take on the persona of an incompetent doctor to address the prompt, “a Catholic’s secret guilty pleasure.”
Heading in the break, Rob is put on the spot and sings an incredible rendition of “I Want It That Way” by the Backstreet Boys.
Next, Rob goes on to detail life as the CEO of “meme stock” and the rollercoaster that ensured. Next the Dudes and Rob answer the BeatiDudes (TBD) question of the day, “What is something you want more of in your life?”
The show finishes with a Reverse Simpsons game of Secret Santa that is full of great surprises.
Be careful if you put up your Christmas decorations too early, or you might get a visit from the Advent Police...
The BeatiDudes are back for a bonus episode inside the St. Vincent de Paul Pharmacy in Dallas with special guest Luis Gonzalez, CEO of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul North Texas.
When you meet a CEO, it’s easy to assume their life has been smooth sailing. Luis invites us to learn more about his rollercoaster journey and to remove that façade of perfection. In his reflections, Luis is bold and vulnerable in sharing the trials of his home life.
On Blessed are the Joke Makers Bonus Edition, each of the Dudes must take on a different persona to address the prompt, “Things Jesus never spoke about….”

On Blessed are the Joke Makers, the Dudes must take on the persona of a Doomsday Street Prophet to address the prompt, “________, the new hit Catholic musical.”
The TBD (The BeatiDudes) Question of the day – What did you learn about yourself during quarantine?
On Reverse Simpsons, the Dudes and Luis play an exciting game of Categories.
Motivational speaker Michael Hoffman shares the fascinating tale about the multiple times he and his family made dance videos in the kitchen that each went majorly viral.
The most popular of these viral videos was performed to the song Hold My Hand by Jess Glenn - - and Michael’s family stopped counting the numbers once they crossed TWO HUNDRED MILLION VIEWS.
As President of Igniting Performance, Michael's extensive background in the people side of business, the psychology of team dynamics, and one-on-one interactions provide a unique platform for the skill sets of influence that EVERY person needs to be successful. Thousands of people have benefited from Michael's messages from his programs Secrets of the 1%er's and Mastering the Tornado Series.
The show starts with Blessed are the Joke Makers Bonus Edition, in which each Dude takes on a different persona to address the prompt, “What priests really want to talk about in their homilies.”
On December 12, 1937, West appeared in two separate sketches on ventriloquist Edgar Bergen's radio show The Chase and Sanborn Hour. By the second half of the 1930s, West's popularity was affected by her dialogue being severely censored. She went on the show eager to promote Every Day's a Holiday. Appearing as herself, West flirted with Charlie McCarthy, Bergen's dummy, using her usual brand of wit. West was on the verge of being banned from radio.
More outrageous still was this sketch written by Arch Oboler, starring Don Ameche and West as Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden.
Praised as one of broadcasting's top talents, he is regarded today as a key innovator of radio drama. Oboler's personality and ego were larger than life. Radio historian John Dunning wrote, "Few people were ambivalent when it came to Arch Oboler. He was one of those intense personalities who are liked and disliked with equal fire."

Michael Hoffman is an exceptional motivational speaker and audience igniter, and his clients bring him back repeatedly to Ignite Performance and Ignite a Culture of Progress.
As President of Igniting Performance, Michael's extensive background in the people side of business, the psychology of team dynamics, and one-on-one interactions provide a unique platform for the skill sets of influence that EVERY person needs to be successful. Thousands of people have benefited from Michael's messages from his programs Secrets of the 1%er's and Mastering the Tornado Series.
Over the last decade, Michael’s talks have continued to include the same principles but have become more faith-forward.
When asked for speakers that inspired Michael’s career, he immediately went to Leo Buscaglia. Paul talked about Zig Ziglar and Jason Evert, and Nick mentioned Kevin Carroll’s talk on the red rubber ball.
On Blessed are the Joke Makers, the Dudes embody “the boss” to address the prompt, “I’m a bad Catholic because of…”
Michael reflects on his speaking career and his joy when sharing the stage with his daughter Ally.
On the TBD question of the day, Michael and Dudes each answer the question, “What app or resource do you use to assist in your spiritual journey?”
On Reverse Simpsons, the dudes must attempt new lyrics to The BeatiDudes theme song.
Chad Simpson joins the BeatiDudes for a bonus conversation about family, faith, and being a great Chad-Dad. Chad is a convert to the faith who seeks to let the faith permeate all aspects of his life, giving his best in all he does.
After facing fertility issues throughout their marriage, Chad and his wife have raised three children who are fairly spread apart, and he imparts his parenting wisdom to the Dudes.
While continuing to serve as a sales executive, Chad has also completed all the work and studies to become an Oblate of St. Benedict, shaping his life by living the wisdom of Christ as expressed in the Rule of St. Benedict. Specifically, Chad has studied under the Kansas Monks in Atchison, Kansas.
The show concludes with Chad sharing a prayer from the Liturgy of the Hours, “God come to my assistance, Lord make haste to help me.”
A Christmas Shepherd leads us through the fog
Feeling the pull to dive deeper into prayer and purpose years ago, Chad Simpson eventually entered the process to become a Benedictine Oblate. He joins the BeatiDudes for a reflection on this journey and how the Rule of St. Benedict has shaped his life.
Work and Pray – Ora et Labora.
On Blessed are the Joke Makers, the Dudes must take on the persona of a video game addict to address the prompt, “My old Catholic grandma is known for ________.”
For Reverse Simpsons, Chad and the Dudes play BeatiSNUDES – a wine-tasting challenge to rank three wines from most expensive to least expensive.
