Al Capone, Whipped Cream, and 100 Episodes of This Nonsense
In our 100th episode, the three of us do what we’ve always done best: show up for each other and talk like real friends. Bryan opens with a peek behind the scenes on tinkering with an AI‑assisted WordPress podcast player, which sparks a spirited debate about AI hallucinations, trust, and how to push back on bad outputs. From there, we wander joyfully through big and small topics—media hype around health scares, movie rabbit holes from Star Wars to Yellowstone (and why some sequels land while others don’t), favorite actors, comedy greats, and the art of storytelling. We also touch on life, legacy, and how we’d want to be remembered, grounding it with a simple reminder to invest in real human connection. We close with gratitude for 100 episodes, an invite to support the show via value‑for‑value (share, time/talent, treasure), and a challenge for the week: go visit someone in a nursing home who doesn’t get many visitors. Thanks for riding with us—here’s to the next 100.

0.4% Can Kiss Our Butt
<p>It's a packed night in the Two Grumpy Vets and a Duuude studio — and yes, we're back live! Rich finally got BUTT sorted out through a little terminal magic, and we're streaming live to <a href="https://podhome.fm">Podhome</a> once again. While we're at it, we've got some thoughts on <a href="https://truefans.fm">TrueFans</a> and their sudden need to know everything about everybody — spoiler: they contribute exactly 0.4% of our total downloads over two years, so the bar is set accordingly.</p> <p>From there the conversation goes exactly where you'd expect it to — everywhere. Ron's roller skating past gets fully excavated, including his time as the rink cop at Fort Sill and his brief career managing the skate counter. The guys make their case (again) for the world's most needed podcast that Ron refuses to make.</p> <p>Rich drops some solid Bible advice for Ron just getting started — skip the King James, skip the Ethiopian Bible for now, and head straight to <a href="https://biblegateway.com">BibleGateway.com</a> for audio versions of the NASB or NIV. You can listen while you drive. Simple.</p> <p>The guys also get into the DJI drone ban situation and why the FAA and FCC comment period felt more like a speed trap than a public process. Rich is making his comment. Trucking war stories make their appearance courtesy of Ron — including the legendary attempted U-turn with a three-axle gooseneck trailer on a blind curve at 70 mph. DOT inspection week is coming May 12-14, so keep your load locks where they belong.</p> <p>The conversation winds through oil markets, big energy versus the little guys, the placebo effect, Chinese medicine, addiction as a coping mechanism, and pharmaceutical commercials that keep inventing new names for old problems. It's a lot. That's kind of the point.</p> <p>Rich also drops <a href="https://richcmedia.com">richcmedia.com</a> — go check it out.</p> <p>Oh, and next week? Episode 100. Yeah. That's happening.</p> <h3>Value for Value</h3> <p>If this show brought you something worth keeping, consider returning the favor — time, talent, or treasure. Find a Podcasting 2.0 compatible app at <a href="https://podcastapps.com">podcastapps.com</a> and support directly from there, or reach out and let us know how you want to help.</p> <h3>Ron's Tip of the Day</h3> <p>Check in on your elderly neighbors. Not everybody has family close by. Go introduce yourself. The best stories you'll ever hear are sitting right down the street.</p> Email Us:Rich-- mailto://rchelson@gmail.comBryan -- mailto://circlecast@gmail.comIf you are struggling with life please reach out to The Suicide Life Line - Dial 988The world needs you here.

Court TV, Beavis, and Other Things We Refuse to Watch
<p>This week on Two Grumpy Vets and a Duuude, the guys kick things off with a spirited debate that no one asked for but everyone needed — Primus. Bryan sends a video, the Duuude loses eight seconds of his life he'll never get back, and Rich tries to explain what a recognizable song actually means. Spoiler: "My Name is Mud" is not the answer anyone was looking for.</p> <p>From there the crew takes a detour through the golden age of MTV (when it actually played music), the birth of reality TV, and why Beavis and Butthead could physically feel brain cells dying in real time. The Duuude makes his case for Court TV. Nobody agrees, but nobody's surprised either.</p> <p>Rich gives an update on his run-in with AT&T — a $568 surprise bill, a customer service rep named Mark who actually tried, and a $25 credit offer that went over about as well as you'd expect. The whole situation gets resolved the same day with a Sparklight switch that took three and a half hours from first call to fully operational. Sometimes things just work out.</p> <p>Rich also shares an update on VA acupuncture — session three in, the back spasms are down, he can walk his yard again, and the TENS unit this doctor uses is not your average unit from the pharmacy. Progress is progress.</p> <p>The guys wrap up episode 98 with a reminder that episode 100 is just around the corner, a tip of the week from the Duuude about saying hello to two strangers a day, and the usual reminder that this show runs ad-free by design — no sponsors, no brand safety, no interruptions.</p> <p>Value for value. Share it, send chapter art, or drop a few bucks at the PayPal link in your podcast app.</p> <p> Rich: <a href="mailto:rchelson@gmail.com">rchelson@gmail.com</a> | Bryan: <a href="mailto:circlecast@gmail.com">circlecast@gmail.com</a></p> Email Us:Rich-- mailto://rchelson@gmail.comBryan -- mailto://circlecast@gmail.comIf you are struggling with life please reach out to The Suicide Life Line - Dial 988The world needs you here.

We Couldn’t Afford the "Poor," We Were Just "Puh"
In this week’s episode of Two Grumpy Vets and a Dude, we kick off with some classic tech gremlins as we fight Zoom, virtual audio cables, and Linux updates before settling in for a wide-ranging, unfiltered conversation. We trade road-warrior stories about trucks, cruise control, and maddening drivers; diagnose a Jeep’s mystery dash-light fiasco that turns out to be a seven-year-old battery; and debate bass lines, suspenders, Crocs, and whether peanut butter and honey belongs anywhere near bread. We also wade into heavier ground: media narratives, COVID-era policy overreach, digital IDs, and why anonymity still matters. On the home front, Bryan share's updates on his daughter’s situation, the power of emotional steadiness, and a push to turn her cleaning superpowers into a business. We wrap with food talk—gumbo, jambalaya, red beans and rice—and a reminder to be kind and help your fellow man, because ten minutes of your time can be priceless to someone else.Value-for-Value: If we made you laugh, think, nod, or groan, consider returning value with your time (share the show), talent (send in cover art), or treasure (hit the funding link).

Frank The Rabbit, Doesn't Know Either
This week on Two Grumpy Vets and a Dude, we go full shop-talk-meets-life as we swap war stories from the garage, the cab, and the command line. I kick things off with a painful-but-successful rear brake overhaul on the Jeep and a Linux upgrade that rewarded me with the dreaded purple screen of death—then a rollback, Pi-hole victory, and plans to automate our show workflow with n8n. Ron unloads a maddening roadside blowout saga, a camera-based safety system that docked him points for doing the right thing, and a spirited takedown of AI-without-common-sense. From hotshot load securement and DOT quirks to scooter hacks for cruising the pits, we veer into future plans for Cruisin’ the Coast, wild weather swings, lovebugs, and why common sense and real-world experience still matter more than any rulebook. Between the laughs, we get candid about parenting, personal responsibility, and how we keep this show sponsor-free through value-for-value. If you got a laugh, a groan, or something to think about, pass it on—time, talent, or treasure. Until next week, we’ll be wrenching, routing, and rolling—one rabbit hole at a time.Email Us:Rich -- mailto://rchelson@gmail.comBryan -- mailto://circlecast@gmail.com Email Us:Rich-- mailto://rchelson@gmail.comBryan -- mailto://circlecast@gmail.comIf you are struggling with life please reach out to The Suicide Life Line - Dial 988The world needs you here.

Just A Weee bit...Goes A Long Way
This week on Two Grumpy Vets and a Duuude, we kick things off the only way we know how — technical chaos, Zoom host handoffs, and a deep dive into streaming tool rabbit holes. We break down BUTT vs. BUTTm, dig into analytics across Podhome and OP3, and celebrate a genuinely surprising surge in global downloads. Turns out Bangladesh, Iraq, and most of South America are tuning in before the US even wakes up — and we have no idea why, but we'll take it.From there we get into why downloads, unique listeners, and platform dashboards like PodAnalyst, Apple Podcasts Connect, and Spotify for Podcasters all tell a different story — and why none of that matters as much as just keeping the mic on. We talk about staying sponsor-free, listener-supported, and why that freedom lets us say exactly what we think without some advertiser pulling our chain.Then it's the usual controlled chaos: NASA's Artemis mission vs. SpaceX catching rockets with chopsticks, moon landing tallies, space junk numbers that'll make your head spin, and a serious proposal to launch New York's trash into the sun. We get into military ethics — lawful vs. unlawful orders, the Geneva Convention, and what it actually means to stand up when something's wrong. Street fights, self-defense, and highway patrol blitzing 287 with an 85% out-of-service rate follow naturally, because of course they do.The Dude brings road finds of the week: a metallic pink Jeep wrap, a Honda Accord with a full semi exhaust stack, and a day-cab semi with a plywood rear window and a 20-pound propane tank strapped to the exhaust stack. OSHA was not consulted.We wrap up with brake line logic on the Jeep, a Harbor Freight air compressor score, budget meals that actually slap (sausage and rice cooker, olive oil Italian dressing, and the steak rule: sauce goes IN while cooking, not poured on after), a Whataburger first-timer report, and Brian's legendary homemade Chex Mix recipe — in the show notes below.

Ketchup: The Cure for What Ails Ya
This week on Two Grumpy Vets and the Dude, we catch up after a hectic stretch of real life. I share the chaos of juggling work in the Texas rain, drought rules, and neighborhood noise battles, while Brian walks us through helping his mom recover from a scam, the maze of deeds and mineral rights, and the deep family history tied to Pottsville. We swap stories about weird car trends, highway run-ins, and the eternal war with four-wheelers, then shift into a thoughtful back-and-forth on oil prices, NATO, media panic, Israel’s resolve, military readiness, and how to have real conversations without melting down. We close with Ron’s health update, some good news on thyroid meds, and a creative turn: launching a photography website and the stories behind a few striking shots—and how listeners can jump in with art, topics, or a simple share. It’s three friends doing life on-mic: humor, hard truths, and honest debate about what matters—from protecting family and property to calling out nonsense, finding calm in a sunrise, and staying intentional in friendship. No sponsors, no scripts—just value-for-value, community, and weekly camaraderie.

Bryan’s Late, the FAA’s Great, and the Duuude’s Irate
In this week’s episode of Two Grumpy Vets and a Duuude, it’s just Rich and the Dude holding down the fort while Bryan’s delayed. We dive into a laid‑back but spirited conversation spanning FAA and congressional crackdowns on drones and RC aircraft, the state of American manufacturing versus overseas labor costs, power and politics, and why common sense seems rarer than ever. From nukes, Fukushima, and Chernobyl to the realities of stress, DOT rules, and the importance of living intentionally, we keep it real and relatable. We also veer into off‑roading culture (Jeeps vs. side‑by‑sides), ham radio contest strategy and propagation wins, CPAP life hacks (including a game‑changing pillow), and DIY car care—brakes, shocks, and transmission maintenance—sprinkled with our trademark humor and veteran grit.We close by inviting listener emails for topics, rants, and show collaborations, reminding everyone we’re Podcasting 2.0 and value‑for‑value: no ads, no censorship—just honest conversation among friends.Email Us:Rich -- mailto://rchelson@gmail.comBryan -- mailto://circlecast@gmail.com Email Us:Rich-- mailto://rchelson@gmail.comBryan -- mailto://circlecast@gmail.comIf you are struggling with life please reach out to The Suicide Life Line - Dial 988The world needs you here.
