So much to celebrate in this episode! This remote hook-up at one of our favorite restaurants as a live podcast—simultaneously being shown on Instagram—was a blast. But what was truly epic was to hear how the manager-owner of Los Amigos has indulged David's mis-naming him for YEARS because he is too kind to offend him. Hear Romero's story as you listen to us giggle in the corner booth.

If you like the zig-zag pacing of improv conversation, this episode is for you. In an act of brave vulnerability David disclosed his pain from being kicked out of Sunday school while paying a great deal of respect to the teacher who did it. Being the gigglers we are, we found it hard to ignore how well the SS teacher's name fit. And as the boys who caught a glimpse of shirtless David mowing can testify (if called upon), we know a lot about things that don't fit.

For all of our loyal listeners, enjoy celebrating America's birthday! Please stay safe. We learned something about the names used by professional comedians in today's podcast. Feel free to test this "conventional wisdom" while you're telling stories and brat-munching this holiday weekend. And be sensitive to the kind of story you think appropriate to share or wonder about. Unlike us.

If you listen a bit to our podcasts, it comes as no surprise to hear us confess how biased we are about most things. It's actually quite amazing that either of us have been married for a long time, given how clueless we are with our patient and loving spouses. Our journey into self-justification and undeserved righteousness was on display in this episode that begins with David recalling a 14-year old walk of shame. Enjoy … but be careful in what you copy.

Add this episode to your Helpful file. Have you been in rooms like David uncomfortably endured in a recent Great Clips  experience? His skilled hair-stylist lacked read-the-room-awareness or a voice that didn't make his skin crawl. Intervention was needed. So we unpacked it. And we probed how new grandpa David's son gently corrected his clumsy baby-holding skills. Intervention well done.

In only three days Father's Day will arrive, ready or not. If therapists listened to this episode they might detect our insecurity. We are, after all, two aging dads. Both of us are grandpas. And we seemed to meander our way toward comforting one another by lowering expectations for what we'll experience on Sunday. It helped that we could make fun of Pappy when he dialed in during our recording.

Even though David launched immediately into a campy mimicry bit, this episode may actually be worth submitting to those who are spiritual coaches. We somehow got talking about our impulsive responses when flailing limbs fail to keep us from making messes. The growth techniques we exchanged can help us guard our hearts. Even when the lyrics we put to music are raunchy.

We explore the unvarnished grist of life in our podcast. Loyal listeners have heard much about St Betsy, David's wife. She's a long-suffering woman who embraced the calling to be a moral compass. Too often she's been pressed into the thankless role of reminding Comedy Boy about where true north is. If you're at all sympathetic to her burden, you may wince a bit about the very fresh text David sent an hour before we hit record. Plz join us in prayer: "Lord, double Betsy's grace portion today…for David's sake."

True confession. While we take strange pride in never preparing for our podcasts (an unwritten recording value is to avoid serving up anything that isn't totally "fresh"), we agreed in the minute before we began to chase what we both thought would be entertaining. But somehow the words "fact check" slipped into the intro banter and thus, O Fair Listener, were we hijacked from our pursuit. How delightful, indeed, was this romp through an unexplored forest!

Are you annoyed by the 24 hour delay in delivering this podcast? Perhaps you have a preference for listening on Thursdays and we disrupted your routine. Before we rush to apologize we want you to consider a quote from Donald Miller that we dissected today: "Don't moralize your preferences." Is this good marriage advice? Felt like a speed trap to us. But then David offered a way out. Enjoy!
