Fresh Catch 2.0

If we were submitting an episode of FC2.0 for Grammy consideration (is that possible?), this might be the one. The giggles threaded their way through guffaws and groans as we talked about how surveilling Pappy might lead to disturbing discoveries about his cozy relationship with a wooden spoon. David's Saturday laughter gig in a Catholic church left enough residue to celebrate how ALL THINGS are a gift from God. We're claiming the joy while we search for our own utensils of comfort.

For our many podheads who count on our 30 minute conversations to time your workout or ease you into sleepy-town, we apologize. Today's episode was first delayed (yesterday) and then cut short (today) due to yet another encounter with David's sewage repair team. They're a riot!! Though we resolved to NOT dwell on (or in) the muck we described last week, we stepped in it when we psychoanalyzed those who wear uniforms…but maybe shouldn't. BTW, what happened to the USPS dress code?

Some delays are due to natural causes. Planes don't fly on time when storms and fog are everywhere. In a similar way, your FC2.0 podcast is 24 hours late because David had "one of those days" …the kind we've all experienced. Please feel his pain as you listen in. And please hide your fantasy-inducing garden rakes. Most of all, don't use Dude Wipes.

Some people have a glow about them. After connecting with them, you can FEEL the warmth of life being transferred your way. That's glow. And if you're married long enough, you accumulate stories about conflict. So, the FC2.0 question we explored is: "How can we glow when we argue?" Lots of name dropping as we hunted for answers. Meanwhile, we truly hope our wives don't listen to this episode.

Don't you just love it when you discover how some things, when smushed together, make for a great tasting treat? As we zig-zagged through today's unscripted podcast we told a couple of stories and David tested out an idea for a comedy bit that makes for a sandwich worthy of its own name on the menu. That's how we came up with this title. Your assignment, loyal FC2.0 listeners, is to revisit the title after you hear what we giggle about in this episode and see if you enjoy a lingering laughter aftertaste!

Our first podcast of 2024 had a bit of holiday residue in it. Forgive us for being a bit distracted by news of who's on the Epstein list. And forgive us for disrespecting one of the great physicists of our time. Also, please forgive us for embarrassingly poor imitations of people we truly admire. One more thing: could you forgive us for spending even a smidge of time talking about goals for the new year? 

Maybe we should have agreed on the worthy goal of needing less forgiveness from our loyal FC2.0 listeners.

If you prefer an orderly conversation that leads to a clearly defined end in mind you are likely frustrated by our affection for improvisation. But we respect the craft enough to delight in bringing our often-wobbly plane to a soft landing after our 30 minute flights. Today's technical interference was challenging. Since we don't understand Internetting, we declare Year End Weirdness Week (far more powerful than a full-moon!) Hopefully our editing coughed up the seasonal gunk – let us know…gently. Happy New Year!

Comedians have keenly trained ears;  it's not fair to ask them to hear what's going on in the world like us common folks do. "Blessing and curse" is how David framed his audible-ity. So when Dr Dave was simply recounting a story by naming a favorite Campus Life kid from 40 years ago, Mr Funny couldn't stop giggling at the sound. It's OK that he acted like a 7th grade boy because soon enough he was reliving a terrifying moment from his high school days. Merry Christmas? Yes. Eventually. Sort of. ENJOY!

Most times we title an episode based on what we actually discussed. But in this case, we have to apologize for not smashing together the two topics we DID talk about: 1) Norman Rockwell art, and 2) the Idaho-cy of spending 8 hours in line for an In-n-Out burger. We often collude together to imagine funnier-than-life situations and it feels like we were just a tad off our game. As you listen, do you agree it's fair to blame Pappy?

Your FC2.0 hosts are here to serve, and we are keen to be helpful during the chaos of Christmas season. We worked really hard to not camp too long on the giggling detours of story-telling about one of our favorite rock 'n rollers impersonating a bear in the north woods of Michigan. In fact, we're pretty proud of ourselves for leveraging the remembrance to land on a principle to help you plan for the family time ahead. That's us: two stars twinkling holiday guidance through the dark days of December.
