This week on Two Grumpy Vets, I sit down with Bryan and the Duuude for a meandering, laugh-out-loud catch‑up that runs from ham radio projects to hot rods, road rage, and real talk on military standards. We kick off with Rich’s Mississippi antenna build, WebSDR 101, and Raspberry Pi tinkering, then veer into highway headaches, CDL enforcement stories, and prep for Mississippi’s massive Cruisin’ the Coast car week. From gassers at the strip to shade-hunting curbside strategy, we map out our plan to soak in 10,000+ rides.

We pivot into a serious segment on the state of the U.S. military, leadership, PT standards, and why tough love matters—grounded in our own experiences from smoking soldiers to the heavy burden of casualty notifications. We wind down with windshield woes, Jeep mods, old-money rabbit holes, urban legends, and book talk—Stephen King, Truman Capote, and the Amarillo-set Bomb City—before closing with our value‑for‑value invite and listener shout‑outs. If you like shop talk, service talk, and a little life talk, grab a seat in the garage and hang with us.

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.

In this week’s Two Grumpy Vets, the three of us catch up on real life: gaming detours (Fortnite, Helldivers, Mortal Kombat), home projects gone sideways (garage chaos and armored soffit vents vs. ninja squirrels), and shop talk from roofing to ham radio antennas. We wander through cooking adventures (DIY mixers, homemade rolls, bacon pancake bakes, Amish onion fritters), dog shenanigans (Bella’s water-bowl rebellion and Jeep-key sprints), and the never‑ending battle of fast‑food prices. We also get candid about heavy family matters—trauma bonds, safety plans, and choosing patience over vengeance—while reminding each other why conversations, humor, and friendship matter.

We wrap with a quick explainer on our value‑for‑value model, how to send in feedback, and an open invite to share topics you want us to tackle next—whether it’s outdoor stories, gear talk, life stuff, or why stroking corn really is just buttering cobs.
