Sam The Rabbit Doesn't Have A Clue Either!
from Two Grumpy Vets and a Duuude Hosted by Richard Chelson and Bryan Goodwin
In this week’s episode, Bryan kick's things off wrangling the chaos as the Duuude and Rich trickle in late, and we dive right into a full-throttle catch‑up. We trade road-warrior stories about modern trucks, software headaches, and the perils of driving when tech fails at 2 a.m. Then we shift gears to Moab—Dude’s epic trail week with limited‑edition badges, gnarly obstacles like Hell’s Gate and Mickey’s Hot Tub, winch points, popped beads, and a heartfelt flag‑retirement tradition atop Poison Spider at sunrise. We also wander into drones and the maze of FAA rules, national park restrictions, RID, fines, and flying spots across the Gulf Coast, Alabama, and beyond. From there, it’s real life: deer strikes on the road, shop talk about trailer welds and safety bureaucracy, day‑cab naps, pay reviews, gainshare changes, and rants about buffet nostalgia (RIP Ryan’s). We close with a spirited, good‑natured debate over AI hype vs. reality, job impacts, and the cycles of tech bubbles—all while reminding listeners why we run value‑for‑value and how to support the show. If you like road stories, off‑road camaraderie, respectful debates that don’t pull punches, and a few laugh‑out‑loud detours, this one’s got it all—from Purple Screen of Death to Golden Corral, from Poison Spider to drone geofences, and from deer on the fender to why we still show up every week to talk it out together.
