Fresh Catch 2.0

Weather reports set the tone for our day. Blue sky? Even if it's cold and snowy, that helps. Rainy and warm? Maybe that's OK. But David is preparing for frigid conditions as he prepares to see the Bears v Rams at Soldier Field and the new hand warmer St Betsy bought him has far too many buttons. We talked about which Patrick Swayze movie character might be helpful. It was weird.

It gives us great pleasure whenever we, your frail and flawed FC2.0 co-hosts, can offer some small pearl that will enhance the life of our merry band of loyal listeners. Get your notepads out, kids; once we figured out how to burp our houses we realized that the beauty of a burp is how well it travels beyond a simple expression of an uncooperative digestive system. We hope you agree. In fact, we hope you feel empowered to explore the nearly infinite ways you can burp up the value of your every day life.

Happy New Year, everyone! Our entire staff here at FC 2.0 headquarters wish you nothing but the best. That's very much unlike the end-of-life journey the Italians offered their once-admired dictator at the end of WW2. If you didn't know that factoid, strap it in for a 2026 ride. David invested his time during the biggest worldwide party of the year learning such knowledge and we, loyal listeners, are always generous with what we discover. If Jesus thought it important to connect in regional dialects so we could know, so do we. Dude!!

This episode let David pay tribute to favorite actors and singers who crowded into his Christmas experience. We got caught up in the lovely imaginations of the season. How could Snoop, Jimmy, Mel, Chris, Mark and Andrea collaborate? Also, we imagined becoming more like active participants again rather than bewildered but smiling spectators. We may have encouraged one another to behave in ways that will earn eye-rolls from those closest to us. If so, mission accomplished.

In case you've lost track of time for your Christmas shopping, we're in countdown mode. Today is the last Thursday you'll have before December 25 hits you like a spoiled fruitcake. We tried to aim this episode as public service, hoping to be helpful. But we're a bit inclined to chase shiny objects when we're chatting, so … you know. Lots of story telling today. Early hard labor work experiences that convinced us to find other ways to make money. Family. Faith. And a eureka moment where David imagined the perfect gift for St Betsy. HBJ!!

A thousand apologies. Our podcasts always catch us in the midst of some kind of space and often one of us helps the other from stumbling off into the Ditch of No Return. Not today. We were both wired for venting and, as good friends sometimes do, we fanned a few flames we probably should have tossed water on. Singing and celebrating Christmas is a joy. No matter who's singing and how we might change the lyrics. The Santa General has slapped a warning label on this episode. Be careful.

Like many of our podcasts, this began with a real-life encounter David had with some favorite food. In this case, it was the prodigal six-pack of soda he forgot he'd left in the snow a week ago. As he recalled the reconnection Dr Dave detected a disturbing undertone in what he said to his root beer. It turns out that the voices we hear make a difference in whether we're plump or ripped. Tune in to learn more…but grab some munchies so you can relate to us.

We recorded on Black Friday with LOADS of Thanksgiving stuff to chat about. It feels like adding more to the description would be like adding another piece of pumpkin pie to the post-turkey food coma equation. We noticed a bunch of stuff in our separate family celebrations and confess we were secretly giggling in anticipation of swapping stories while remembering to pass the gravy. Enjoy!!

First of all, massive apologies to our 17 loyal listeners who had to navigate their Thursday night workout without the benefit of a new episode to pump you up. David was hobnobbing among sweater-vesters so we had to push our recording back a day. But if you're a fan of hearing Dr Dave topic-hop like he's just snorted some cocaine, this 28 minutes will help you cap off your week. And since we decidedly prefer Pharell's HAPPY to his NEON GUTS, we can avoid bustin' a cap on someone. It's worthy of sharing an interview with Cairos Santos.

This episode began by invoking the memory of legendary DJ Wolfman Jack before exploring David's early job as a 3rd shift radio host. Our fascination about how to make the best use of a long-playing song led us to wonder about the possibility of living within a peaceful and powerful flow. That's Tai Chi's Instagram promise. Of course, before actually trying these exercises to discover if we, too, might appear confident in constant shirtlessness, we decided to swap ignorance about what each titled exercise might look like.
