Don't Drink the Battery Acid
from Two Grumpy Vets and a Duuude Hosted by Richard Chelson and Bryan Goodwin
This week Rich, Bryan, and the Duuude catch up after a scorching week — Zoom hiccups, a dead grape myrtle bush, and heat indexes pushing triple digits. Ron doesn't hold back on a gas plant nightmare that nearly cost him his PTO in throat chops, while Bryan gets his hyperlocal news site off the ground and Rich rolls out season three of his other podcast. From there the guys wander through vacation planning, Ron's untouched model kit collection from his grandpa's estate, the last Blockbuster on Earth, dying malls, Rich's GrapheneOS privacy plans, telescope shopping for a nebula shot, and Bryan's oilfield frac work — plus the usual detours into politics, TV, and everything in between.
