Darth Vader (with a Lisp)

First of all, a huge THANK YOU to all who supported the fundraising efforts for “The Hours.” WE DID IT! Actually, we more than did it. 64 backers pledged $6,661, exceeding our goal of $5,500 and giving us to chance to record more songs than we originally planned! Seriously, that was a huge relief. Very excited to finish up that recording and share it with you all.

In the first minute of the podcast, Fr. Dave starts poking around the soundboard and questioning my ability to record these correctly. Turns out, that was prophetic. Not only did I forget to hit the back up audio recording until a couple of minutes into it, but my iPhone shut down in the last five minutes of the recording. Of course, I didn’t realize that until after we finished the episode. Thankfully, most of the video and all of the audio is here, so I hope you don’t find that too distracting. Shout out to http://willmacmotion.com for making a cartoon (way back in ep. 39!) that I recycled for the end of this episode.

Other than those technical glitches, Fr. Dave and I had a really fun conversation. He just got back from a men’s conference in Oklahoma where someone got him an autographed picture of the pitcher from the Savanna Bananas (a “Banana Ball” team, which Fr. Dave despises). Here is the closeup:
