In this week’s Two Grumpy Vets (and the Duuude), we kick back for a sprawling, funny, and surprisingly heartfelt hang. We start with life updates and a beloved dog named Bella, then meander into cooking wins (breakfast casseroles, 7-Up cake, and vintage church cookbooks), the Mandela Effect, and a triumphant return to roller skating—complete with hard vs. soft wheels and sore muscles. From there, we free-range into civil discourse, free speech, news fatigue, and how to stay grounded: focus on living well, learning openly, and disagreeing without being disagreeable. We also riff on podcast stats, listener shoutouts from around the world, and the joy of making a show that feels like three friends on a porch at sunset, solving (and laughing at) the world’s problems together.Expect humor, a few spicy takes, a dose of faith and history chat, and a reminder that friendship, curiosity, and a good casserole can go a long way.Email Us:Rich-- mailto://rchelson@gmail.comBryan -- mailto://circlecast@gmail.com If you are struggling with life please reach out to The Suicide Life Line - Dial 988The world needs you here.
