Fresh Catch 2.0

The ancient Greeks cherished the sort of virtue dissection we enjoyed on this episode. Maybe. Some of it. We politely described the plentiful girth to work around while we discussed the moral responsibility of a sleeping seat-neighbor on David's recent flight to Arizona. There's a lot at stake in getting this right. Being genuinely accountable for everything we actually do while sawing ZZZZ's is a slippery slope, so we spoke with care. Curiously, this somehow led us to endorse Abreva for whatever ails you.

The implicit covenant we two Davidic hosts have with our loyal listeners is that we will be honest. Today's episode should be reassuring to FC2.0 podheads; even when our conversation sparks painful memories we bravely engage. Somewhere in the midst of whining about whatever happened to the art of loving correction (even when expressed by Pappy's perforated board of education) we managed to giggle. And even cuss a bit.

In clear violation of FC2.0 protocols, David brought a pre-meditated agenda to this podcast episode. But — as is common — the cultural norms we've established were able to triumph over the Funny Guy's wily attempts to manipulate the program. Longtime listeners will note the familiar pattern. One of us says something…anything…to grab the other's attention. We launch into a curious probe and get ridiculous. Our wondering today hung on some Hoosier colloquialisms that don't make sense. But those long in the tooth will probably giggle with us.

Apologies to loyal pod-heads for the clunky sound. The host hotel for our Philly-based remote recording will NOT receive a good review from us. (You'll hear a few reasons during Dr Dave's whiny section in this episode.) But we pivoted, and hope we overcame self-pity so listeners could weigh the risk/reward of taking our challenge. For some, the stretch we're inviting is simply too much. But this adventure comes with a rare Double D endorsement, guaranteed to open eyes and enlarge hearts. Let us know if you take the plunge - you'll have our admiration and our prayers!

An episode's title seldom captures the wide-range of frolic loyal pod-heads can enjoy. We only hope we don't bury the lead. In the truest sense of "Fresh" and "Catch", we hear David breathlessly share a 9 hour-old story of a bat-in-his-bedroom encounter. As if in trauma aftershock, he was openly processing what happened and a bit shaken up by St. Betsy's threats to leave him. Can we extend a little grace for his raw, no-filter reporting?

Loyal listeners might have noticed the 24 hour delay in our FC2.0 podcast this week. We apologize for any disruption to your workout routines or white noise induced sleep. Our zig zag life patterns don't always land us at a shared intersection with the precision timetable of German commuter trains. Ours is more like a wagon train. But, hey, if you've got any helpful knowledge to share with us we are all ears. Unless we're like a few people we talked about today whose body parts on display were everything but ears.

Our FC2.0 questionable artistry is based on a weekly commitment to start recording  without having or sharing any plan for our 30 minutes together. Whatever else is true, we are determined to catch a fresh and frolicky dialogue that we hope is entertaining. Today's bounce-about included a painful admission about sharing our ailments with others, a breakthrough idea for class reunions, and a long-necked quarterback in need of a peppermint oil rub-down. Enjoy!

The evidence about what tickles our fancy is indicting (to borrow a word from the week's headlines). We fessed up about lots of things that make us giggle and that endear us to personalities from bygone years who could not possibly survive today's cancel culture. Even David's mid-recording rant against the annoying presence of an EMT truck at his neighbor's home testifies to something pre-pubescent at our core. And then there's that final word…

We sometimes wonder if listeners experience our 30 minute episodes flying by as quickly as we do when we laugh practically non-stop through our conversation. Today, even as Dr Dave was fishing for a little empathy about his stumble-bum injury, it was clear that David had a listener's gift to share. Dr Ron Coffey asked Artificial Intelligence to generate a poem about FC2.0. Apparently he fed the system info with a tad bit of bias. Much like the writers of Barbie must have done…according to David's movie review.

David's stories about his aging father, affectionally known to Freshies as "Pappy", often make us giggle and squirm at the same time. We love the raw inhibition. We expect his unpredictability. We can't wait to hear about where David finds the mess, not IF there's a mess to clean up. As it turns out, some of these endearing qualities are attractive to both of us who share the Fellowship of David. Like trying to do The Gritty.
