Fresh Catch 2.0

Have you ever been around someone who's so well-built you hardly want to look at them? David's surprising shirtless look was impressive enough that Dr Dave dared not talk about it until we were well past the half-way point of debating what makes for good connections. We agreed that our friend, Mitch Kruse, is a gifted relational concierge…though to be fair that particular word was never uttered on this podcast. It could have been, had Dr Dave not become so infatuated with trying to understand what David's garden purrding activity actually meant. We fancy ourselves word baristas; if you think otherwise please don't pop our fantasy.

Onomatopoeia. What a great word to describe perfect word choices, where the sound of the word itself represents its essence. In today's episode, Dr Dave powered through a head-cold-heavy gruff tone in efforts to jerk David into cheeky exposure. A squeamish problem, for sure. Carelessly popping off, David insisted that only St Betsy's lance could be trusted…though Alex's self-tasing experience offered a novel solution. Giggle or guffaw, these words sound like this episode: GRUFF…JERK…CHEEKY…EXPOSE…SQUEAMISH…POP…LANCE…TASE.

It was bound to happen. Life doesn't let us cruise along the Merry Road, giggly companions at our side in a constant posse posture of positivity. To be fair, the duo of Daves who host this podcast in denim have tried to laugh without ceasing…a clear one-off from the Biblical imperative we've converted to a National Day. But that only makes us duodenum in the Body of Christ. And if this episode's description sends listeners scurrying for their dictionaries, we've done our public service. We welcomed the grins and tried to lean into some pain during this half-hour. In the end, like some days, kind of a letdown.

Dictionaries try to keep up with the times. Words begin somewhere. They are tugged and twisted into shape by many folks until they settle into a stable form everyone understands. If the word SLONG shows up in Webster, will someone please make it a Wikipedia entry and tag its origin to this episode of our podcast? This is the second week in a row when our verbal stumbling led to giggling merriment as we riffed together. You're welcome…FC2.0 is contributing efficiency to the English language. The lesson: whenever possible – even if you need to be inventive - save the world some time by using one word rather than two or more.

We are not afraid to mash words together so we can say what we mean. I guess that's why David described himself on our new FC2.0 artwork cover as "cuzzling" up to Dr. Dave. This is an endearing posture, one that reveals warmth and affection. Pappy might have appreciated more of that from David and his family when his droopy mouth made him a bit self-conscious. Comedians are wired to learn just enough about others to poke fun, but not so inclined to actually be empathetic. So we wonder if a funeral viewing line holds promise for future gigs?

On Maundy Thursday, the Fresh Catch duo worked hard on the Flip Factor. Table flipping…finger flipping…joy switch flipping… BTW, did you know the word "maundy" comes from Latin  for "mandate", marking the night Jesus' delivered the new mandate to love one another? We didn't actually drop this knowledge into our podcast, so we offer it to  discerning listeners who only "flip us on" when our episode description is compelling. We were too busy imagining how Thurston Howell or Ron Burgundy might deliver a memorable sermon title that should only be uttered by black preachers who can growl the truth in love (aka, Luther Whitfield).

What does a sigh mean? Is it ever positive to hear someone sigh after you make a request? This podcast began 24 hours later than normal, which evoked a sigh in the direction of poor internet service providers. We tiptoed through the minefield of how and when we might answer our beloved wives with sighs. David's disclosure about a "dis-clothing" experience might launch sighs of exasperation from some corners, but we simply giggled. And we sought to unpack what made Jesus sigh…hoping it's not us!!

This was too easy.

When David connected after a comedy gig with YFC USA's top strategist, Seth Baker, he was enchanted enough to invite him onto our podcast. Little did he know that the timing was perfect for a gentle intervention. Mark this episode, this day in history. We might have turned a life corner so significant that every color from here on becomes more vivid. Or…we might have simply giggled a lot, channeling whatever strategic innards middle school boys possess.

It's St Patrick's Day and Dr Dave's birthday. For many of his friends, this is a day of haunting remembrance about the time a few years ago when he posted an unfortunate selfie. There's no hiding from such evidence in this day and age; in fact, this is perhaps the only thing keeping the good Dr. from seeking public office. We've come to expect David's extra-keen abilities to pounce on the vulnerable during such occasions. He doesn't disappoint. And his Depends prepared him perfectly for the raucous giggling shared in this episode.
