Flowers and Ashes
In this week’s episode… Fr. Dave and Dcn. Bob talk about the Super Bowl (which they hadn’t seen yet), the Baseball Hall of Fame, answer questions from listeners (finally!), and share their most effective Lenten fasts. Hope you have a great start to Lent!
He’s Patrick Dempsey!
Honestly, how does Fr. Dave not know who Patrick Dempsey is? It was great to be in the studio again. We realized last week that we never talked about how the right to abortion was just voted into the Ohio constitution (I was in… Continue Reading “He’s Patrick Dempsey!”
Dolphins Make Me Cry
I couldn’t tell if Fr. Dave was joking or not when he said that the lyric, “I’m such a baby ’cause the dolphins make me cry” was because Darius Rucker (of Hootie and the Blowfish) was actually a Miami Dolphins fan. But to be… Continue Reading “Dolphins Make Me Cry”
Summer Vacation
This week, I was the one who wasn’t in Steubenville! I called in from Grantham, New Hampshire (where my mom has a place) while Fr. Dave called from in his spartan dwelling in the Holy Spirit Friary. My surroundings inspired a brief conversation about… Continue Reading “Summer Vacation”
Franciscan University: The Next Generation
As you have all heard by now, we have a new president at Franciscan University: Fr. Dave Pivonka. This is something many of us at FUS have been praying for, and it is such a joy to have it happen! I first met Fr.… Continue Reading “Franciscan University: The Next Generation”
Bob and Bob Strike Back
I’ve had the blessed opportunity of collaborating with my friend Bob Lesnefsky, aka “Righteous B”, for almost 15 years now. We first met while he was helping with the Steubenville Youth Conferences. He became a youth minister in a neighboring parish to where I was… Continue Reading “Bob and Bob Strike Back”
I like this video because it’s punny
Puns make me happy. Why else would I release a CD titled, “The Gospel Accordion to Bob Rice”? Truth is, I get excited when I come up with a pun because I don’t think of myself as a very good “punster”. This script I… Continue Reading “I like this video because it’s punny”
BTW, the new CD is available (and so are some old ones!)
I’m pretty stunned I haven’t made a bigger deal of this. My new CD, “The Gospel Accordion to Bob Rice,” came out a week before Thanksgiving, but with NCYC, Thanksgiving, the last week of school, and now I’m at parish mission in Hiawatha! Iowa,… Continue Reading “BTW, the new CD is available (and so are some old ones!)”
The Little Ukulele Boy
Did you know in Hawaii that the story of “The Little Drummer Boy” is re-told as “The Little Ukelele Boy?” Probably not, because I just made that up. But if there was a story about “The Little Ukulele Boy,” it would star Kyle Heimann.… Continue Reading “The Little Ukulele Boy”
I’m fasting from myself
When people ask me about my music, my usual joke is, “I’m a big fan of me. I have all my CDs.” The truth is that I rarely hear my own music unless 1) my kids ask for it, or 2) it comes up… Continue Reading “I’m fasting from myself”
