Like many of our podcasts, this began with a real-life encounter David had with some favorite food. In this case, it was the prodigal six-pack of soda he forgot he'd left in the snow a week ago. As he recalled the reconnection Dr Dave detected a disturbing undertone in what he said to his root beer. It turns out that the voices we hear make a difference in whether we're plump or ripped. Tune in to learn more…but grab some munchies so you can relate to us.

We recorded on Black Friday with LOADS of Thanksgiving stuff to chat about. It feels like adding more to the description would be like adding another piece of pumpkin pie to the post-turkey food coma equation. We noticed a bunch of stuff in our separate family celebrations and confess we were secretly giggling in anticipation of swapping stories while remembering to pass the gravy. Enjoy!!

First of all, massive apologies to our 17 loyal listeners who had to navigate their Thursday night workout without the benefit of a new episode to pump you up. David was hobnobbing among sweater-vesters so we had to push our recording back a day. But if you're a fan of hearing Dr Dave topic-hop like he's just snorted some cocaine, this 28 minutes will help you cap off your week. And since we decidedly prefer Pharell's HAPPY to his NEON GUTS, we can avoid bustin' a cap on someone. It's worthy of sharing an interview with Cairos Santos.

This episode began by invoking the memory of legendary DJ Wolfman Jack before exploring David's early job as a 3rd shift radio host. Our fascination about how to make the best use of a long-playing song led us to wonder about the possibility of living within a peaceful and powerful flow. That's Tai Chi's Instagram promise. Of course, before actually trying these exercises to discover if we, too, might appear confident in constant shirtlessness, we decided to swap ignorance about what each titled exercise might look like.

We had to open by cathartically dealing with national news. Will the fresh-faced mayor of New York succeed in his socialist experiment? Will Hoosiers eventually be affected? It's already been difficult to keep David's neighbors from feeling entitled to ongoing protection after he invested to halt Japanese beetles from immigrating. Do we also have to endure over-the-top barked out orders issued from school bus drivers just because they're blue collar elites? Take note, kids, because the Passive Aggressive Snark Tutorial David offers in this episode is bit-coin worthy.

Sometimes our Fresh Catch 2.0 episodes drift into therapy sessions. Today we found some comfort in each other's Zoom arms by confessing a sin we had in common: pretending to know or remember while in a conversation that (most often) ambushed us. The formulaic goal we share is pretty simple. Hide out until you can get out. But our well-honed skills of evasion deserved a bit of moral scrutiny before ending (apologies for the short show…therapy had us both lose track of time). You'll note that how we ended invites the need for a real counselor.

Since we are diehard Cubs & Bears fans it feels like we're dancing near the Cliff of Betrayal to admit we really like the people we know from Wisconsin. Cheese curds sit well in our otherwise messed up digestive systems. For sure they don't provoke us to recoil like hummus does. But the hummus-hosts live in Chicago, and the comfort-foodies come from the Packers & Brewers' home state. The world confuses us. So we did what we do best: whine, giggle, and talk about Jesus.

This episode involved some reminiscing that school age listeners could probably cite as a primary source in their next term paper. We also kicked around how we use cooler-than-normal music to connect with God. That led us into a very brief sharing of a really deep way to pray. That's Fresh Catch for you. If we go really deep you can count on us being very brief. Like the old hymn: Brief and Wide.

When this day began, minutes after midnight, our beloved Cubs had lost and now the season is all but finished. It makes sense that one of us (the old one) was in a foul mood. A travel demand disrupted our normal recording schedule and the funny one bounced into the Zoom room freshly jubilant after hanging with other comedic friends. David tried to bring his joy juice to the moment. Dr Dave was having none of it and passed out wet-blankets for all. If you enjoy this episode, your EQ may be low.

It's the rare empathetic young person who might listen to our podcast today and aim to be helpful. We whined. Hard and long. Our aging bodies are failing us so we indulged in swapping stories about our health problems and the way we perceive doctors and nurses fail us. Before they actually experience such degrading, it's understandable that those who still have the ability to strut might giggle at our expense. But it really hurts when your own doctor is hosting the party. 

Go ahead. Laugh. We're here for you. At least for a while.
