Fresh Catch 2.0

In a rare single-focus thread this episode lingered in the category of how to handle road trips to max the fun and make the journey feel shorter. File this under a public service offering from your two frolicky friends. We know many of our listeners take us on jogging trails, treadmill runs and longer drives. We feel the connection. In a fit of generosity we wonder aloud whether you might want to take the relationship to a whole new level of companionship. The offer stands…

One of the challenges erstwhile podcasters are familiar with is how to title an episode so that it accurately represents the discussion and is, at least, somewhat attractive. Loyal listeners of FC2.0 know that the wild ride we enjoy for about 30 minutes weekly  is seldom a single-topic focus. Today was no exception. But, on behalf of everyone who tilts toward weight gain and have been a tad nervous about getting older, please take a beat to share our pain. It's far too common. Tucked into life's daily, tiny details. Like tying your shoes.

As it turns out, both members of the FC2.0 podcast team have reasons to love those moments that feel awkward. David pounces on the comedic opportunity like an eagle swooping in on an innocent barnyard chick. Dr Dave is equally eager to capitalize on an occasion that has vulnerability and growth possibilities. Since most of us can at least swap stories of times when awkwardness hinders rather than helps, we wonder if this might be a way we could make a buck tag-teaming to share our expertise. Let us know what you think…unless that seems too awkward…

Sometimes our podcast is recorded from remote locations that are cool. David has been on a beach in the Dominican Republic and Dr Dave has been gazing at Pikes Peak while we Zoom. If this episode feels like listeners are an afterthought because David is in a truck stop parking lot on the way to something really important…well…we're sorry. And maybe - just maybe - we repent. At least we'll talk about stuff that made us wonder if we should repent and then we agreed to repent. Don't judge.

We tried on this episode. Really, we did. But the technology gremlins dragged us through three reboots while we were Zoom-casting. Sort of ruined our flow. We think that's one of the hidden qualities of Easter weekend, one that we were loathe to talk about before we got waylaid. Something as epic as life transformation for billions (including us) because of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ deserves to be told even when the delivery platforms are less than quality. We think. Maybe?

This episode had a grunginess to it. Sorry. Our visual connection while recording was a bit unsettling, though we celebrated the shared casual space we enjoy in an audio-only podcast. But David's long road trip has him taking liberties with his hotel room accommodations that Dr Dave felt led to rebuke. He might have been too judge-y. To come full circle, if the "Buddy Award" that David (almost) enjoyed as a Lincoln School volunteer wasn't special enough, we may be able to join Comfort Inn housekeeping to pick up on why it was exactly the humbler he deserves.

We can't help it when a spoken word triggers a rogue thought. Some of us deal with this as a temptation to guard against. David has learned to pounce on such opportunities like a cat, playfully pawing at them to see if they might produce giggles. (On our podcasts they typically do.) Apologies for the disturbing visual images exchanged in this episode. But we scampered quickly to wonder aloud about the value of a first-hand experience. For example, an epic moment with Jesus like Palm Sunday – however carefully reported – simply isn't the same as being in the crowd cheering. Carpé diem!

Our FC2.0 banter is never pre-arranged and generally we enjoy politely deferring to one another as we grope toward the agenda of the day. This episode betrayed those unspoken guidelines as David pounced immediately, hijacking the conversation so we could talk about Dr Dave's St Paddy's Day birthday. More specifically, he wanted to press in to the question of judgement that led Dr Dave to post the birthday-suit clad hungry eyes selfie that therapists are still helping youngsters cope with. Hard laughs…with some teeny regret!

Dr Dave insists that Jesus' words are public domain but that didn't keep David from praying for his forgiveness. At the very least, citation is needed. We would like to issue the same invitation that Grateful Dead offered their early audiences: feel free to use our stuff any way you want. When everything you say is absolutely fresh, you have no need to keep it in a vault for the next time you (and you alone) get to say it. Manna expired after one day, eaten or not. Fresh Catch 2.0… a creative collaboration that, like Jesus' teachings, can be freely shared for widespread enjoyment.

This episode featured a debate about whether Dr Dave had actually done something that can only accurately be labeled as stupid. David tried to console a bit, explaining that the good Dr just made an honest mistake. But since the comedic core at the center of his personality is always whispering, "Pay attention…this could be funny…" his efforts didn't seem to offer much comfort. We turn to you, our loyal listeners, to render judgment as Dr Dave wriggles in the confessional.
