Fresh Catch 2.0

The night was stormy at FC2.0's operational HQ. You'd think among the Amish, who work religiously to stay off the power grid, an electrical outage would be no big deal. So…because that's what you'd think…it was no big deal. We broadcast from a parking lot where some wayward Amish avoided landline hookups but hosted a nice cell signal. It's a good thing we overcame these annoyances, because two professional comedians - our beloved David and his ultra-talented buddy, Andrew Stanley - swapped insider stories that were hilarious. Unless you're an organ donor. Enjoy!!

Dr Dave records from one of the great Christian camps in America and ornery Dave feels the need to splash cold water on his prayer team vibe by challenging his taste in music. It is really cool when God connects the dots. So why is it when we try to mix and match the variety of experiential species, we're left with largely disturbing images? Still giggling…

On some occasions you know if you spend much time in small talk you may never get to what you really wanted to chat about. In this episode we explored the art of being abrupt…and whether there's a loving way to cut someone off before their droning leads you to a sinful response worse than being rude.

Grab a mirror to practice your own De Niro delivery technique alongside the Davidic Duo. Confrontational possibilities are endless. For David, it's the 8-yr old boy kicking his seat on a rare flight where he's burdened to sit among the commoners. He'd love to go all Goodfellas on him, hopefully haunting the kid's sleep with an enduring memory. Dr Dave imagines the fun of jaw-thrusting in everyday conversations. But like his recent county fair capri pants faux pas, he's resigned himself to the likelihood that few will enjoy such experiences like he will.

To be accurate, we're not exactly sure that Dr Dave's extra-long shorts qualify as clamdiggers. We've been banished to fashion uncertainty. We Daves simply do not know what works to wear in public anymore…even when the bar is set to 4-H fair standards. Against that backdrop, there was also David's report of a zesty celebration of life after the tragic death of a friend. We can carry each other into hope when we have a mind to do so. And is it so far-fetched to think of whistling in response to God's amazing love as a true clamdigging spirit? "Inhibitions? We don't need no stinking inhibitions!"

There's, of course, a story behind this title. Our lawyers(?) have advised us to not actually publish the details in this podcast description. The audio file is incriminating enough. If you're inclined to be judgmental, please skip this episode. If you work at Wal-mart, please find something else to do with your 35 minutes. If your name sounds like it belongs to either of our wives…go enjoy a pedicure and send us the bill. We two Daves need lots of grace from lots of people.

It was a sprite and lively tour for the podcast, no doubt provoked by David's "too close" Zoom proximity in order to get our sound just right. Imagine the salesman who says, "I can get you quality sound but you'll have to live with this unsettling image." The picture blew us up into talking about the burden of being a bit too big. But we settled into deep gratitude for those who cannonball through the splash and snorkel depths to  dive into life with us and Jesus.

There was a bit of carryover from last week's podcast as we heard from longtime listener and good friend, Dave Veerman, about his jet-lag induced lack of attention to a missionary and the subsequent generic prayer that was all our buddy could muster when called upon. Ouch! David also needed a bit of hand-holding from Dr Dave (aka, Dr Phil) over some recent stinging experiences from hecklers. NOTE: There's an underage grade schooler who might just be strutting around Angola, IN, bragging to his kickball buddies about how he put down a professional comedian. Double ouch!!

Prayer - that most amazing privilege to enjoy communion with God - can gather stories fit for an entire comedy album. We cracked open a few of our own in this episode and are ready to proclaim Spirit-led giggling as a sign of true spirituality. Don't fall asleep on us!

After last week's giggle-fest we tried to leave our buddy Roger alone…but in the short declaration about our honest intent, describing his raised eyebrows moments before sent us spinning off into a discussion that might lead every listener to the mirror with trimming scissors in hand. Eventually we zeroed in on Dr Dave's use of the word "fetch" to describe the midnight drive he made to Chicago to pick up his wife at the airport. David's keen eye for social media snafus depends on — and appreciates — the same diversity of perspectives that are the source of too many conflicts today. You'll find this to be a fetching episode….
