What begins with two teens wearing the same red-and-white striped hat becomes a 60-year story of friendship, rebellion, and synchronicity. In this episode, Dr. Beitman reconnects with his best friend from high school, Robert Warner, to trace the strange parallels in their lives—from co-presidency and bonfires to resistance movements and life-changing coincidences.

Later, he ran a successful chimney sweep business for 37 years. Bob’s enduring friendship with Bernie Beitman was forged through a chance synchronicity in high school—their matching red-and-white striped hats—and has grown stronger over more than six decades of parallel and intersecting journeys.Bernard D.
