Two Grumpy Vets and a Duuude

Richard Chelson and Bryan Goodwin

This show is about two grumpy vets and a duuude who became friends and have been talking once a week for the last 4 or 5 years. These conversations result in many rabbit holes being chased. Finally, in our infinite wisdom, we decided to share this with you. To let you know that you can find someone to talk to about anything and still maintain your manly attitude. This show will talk about real subjects and real life, if that offends you, then change the channel. We are Podcast 2.0 compliant using

Recorded the Monday before Cruisin' the Coast, and it wanders everywhere. Bryan and Rich compare notes on the junk landing in their inboxes, starting with a Coffee and Classics book club pitch that has nothing to do with this show, while Bryan walks through a Podmatch webinar invite and a "come on our podcast" offer that turned into a $5,000 sales pitch. Ron, on the road, has a camera going into the Jeep and finds out the long-lost GoPro has been sitting in a bag on a dining room chair this whole

Blood Clots, Broken Teeth, Billionaires

2026/09/28

This one's a classic hangout episode that goes everywhere at once. Rich is dealing with a hot, itchy leg that has him and the VA nervously eyeing a possible blood clot, and his dental partial breaks for the second time in months. Ron gets tangled up in a "we need a referral" runaround with a VA nurse who already had the MRI he sent her, watches his Jeep's resale value crater, and picks a losing fight with a Walmart clerk over a gas discount card. Bryan gets an arthritis diagnosis after his knee

Don't Let Your Dingle Dangle in the Dirt

Bryan and Rich open by arguing over who got on the call first, then Rich rolls into a busy ham radio week: new 2m and handheld gear, a porch contact that led him to the Wednesday Whataburger meetup with the Jackson County club, and the night he put his laptop back on Windows just to send an email over the radio and watch it land on his own phone. That kicks off an argument over how many hops an email really makes, a turtle farm in Korea, and how much fiber is buried under the country. Bryan is about

Bryan Beats Rich, Roach Goo, and a Brain-Dead ELD

2026/09/14

Bryan actually beats Rich to the call for the first time in show history — and Rich never lives it down. From there it's a full three hours: Rich jacks up a sagging furnace with a pair of house jacks and declares war on an ant invasion, Bryan's ELD takes a total brain fart and knocks him back to paper logs, and the guys work through diesel and grocery prices, government holidays, and a hard debate over a child murder case in the news.On the ham radio side, Rich walks through his new 2m/70cm dipole,

This week, we kicked things off with one of those small-world moments that somehow turns into a full conversation, then rolled straight into a lively discussion about changing place names, history, public memory, and how politics, media, and marketing all shape the way people think. As always, we didn't all agree, but that's part of what makes these conversations matter: three friends working through big ideas in real time, with plenty of humor, frustration, and honesty along the way. We also talked

Rich, Bryan, and Ron settle in for another round of weather complaints, heat index bragging rights, and home-repair swapping — Ron's up early for a run to Abilene, Rich shares how sealing his AC ducts dropped his electric bill about $2 a day, and Bryan's still fighting a 130-degree attic and an old house that used to run a $500-a-month natural gas bill before the wood stove took over.From there it wanders everywhere it usually does: Rich's dilemma over joining a ham radio club (and the

Flock Cameras, Third Eye Stickers, and Grandma's...

This week we kick off griping about the brutal summer heat before Ron takes us deep into trucking life — special permit testing on hazmat cylinders, DOT stops over faded UV labels, and a surprise job site move from McAlester to Ada. From there we go all over the map: celebrity deaths and the state of the news, flock cameras and surveillance, liberty vs. safety, generational apathy, and why we'd rather argue like friends than agree like strangers.Bryan gives us an update on the podcast player he's

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,

Slap Your Mama, Tabasco Pepperoni, and Fat Boy's MREs

2026/08/10

This week Rich gets ambitious — rescuing a curbside table, building a rolling generator stand with a Harbor Freight deer pulley, and reviving a generator that had sat dead for years. That kicks off a debate over Slap Your Mama versus Tabasco (and whether Tabasco belongs in pepperoni), followed by Mopar's notoriously bad paint jobs and a six-hour fight with a backwards-mounted Jeep alternator. Bryan lays out his plans for a hyperlocal Sayre-to-Weatherford news podcast, complete with sponsor pricing

Rich, Bryan, and Ron cover a lot of ground this week — back MRIs, a blown disc that ended jump status, a Hemet tire that ate a whole Saturday in Korea, a stolen challenge coin, Bella's dinner theater, and a yard war against mosquitoes and a mole. There's also a genuinely great story about letting a foster kid drive a Jeep through the trails at a camp near Marble Falls. Brian's wife Jana has gallbladder surgery, the guys argue about cryonics and Tootsie Pops, and it all wraps up with the site of the

This week, Bryan, Rich,and Ron sits down for one of those conversations that reminds everyone exactly why they do this show — life shows up fast, and sometimes all you can do is laugh through the chaos. The big story is Ron's unbelievably rough week on the road: rear-ended on I-35 by a kid doing 90-100 mph with no brakes, no insurance, and no registration, followed by a DOT stop, a late-night piss test scramble, and a work schedule that keeps shifting on him. Rich balances it out with something a

Dogs, Dust, and a Really Bad Friday

Bryan, Rich, and the Duuude get together for another round of life, mostly unplanned. Bella starts a full-blown TV rivalry with any animal on screen, Rich's back-door floor peaks up like a tent and turns into a full flooring-replacement nightmare, and losing his phone at Lowe's ends with a trip to Verizon and a brand new Pixel 10. From there it's Saharan dust, tenting floors and piers, prediction markets and the lottery, crypto skepticism, a $20 magnetic cup holder from Harbor Freight, an antenna

Also: hovercrafts as a business model, the Waffle House pipeline, TSA's war on ranch dressing, Reddit setup live on air, caveman cabbage, and a surprisingly honest conversation about what truck drivers carry with them long after they leave the road.</p><p>Oh, and the Duuude is now on

Rich is up to his ankles in floodwater, The Duuude just dropped $900 on a new phone he barely understands, and the Duuude's earbuds are staging a full rebellion. This week's rabbit hole starts with relentless Gulf Coast rain and a possible "Super El Nino," then spirals into a Samsung S26 nightmare, a TRICARE billing fight, a taco night gone sideways, and a brand-new flip phone wearing the Commodore name. Somewhere in there: water drop photography, ugly Cybertrucks parked next to a mint 1970s Pacer,

In this week’s episode of Two Grumpy Vets and a Dude, we kick back for a classic catch‑up that ranges from veteran benefits wins and smart money advice to gear talk, off‑roading tales, photography nerdery, and everyday life. We celebrate a friend finally securing a 100% VA rating and unpack what back pay, legal reviews, and disciplined budgeting can look like for vets. Then it’s straight into shop talk: Crocs sizing misadventures, trail carnage at Hidden Falls, the real costs of off‑roading parks,

It's Episode 103 and we are absolutely not slowing down.We kick things off with Rich half-mowing his flooded yard — and revisiting the time he had to winch his own lawnmower out of the back 40 with the Jeep. Classic Rich. We move into the dental drama, where a clinic waited until the last possible second to schedule a deep

Three friends, zero sponsors, one biblical amount of rain. This week Rich is basically living in a bayou — the Mississippi Gulf Coast got hammered with over five inches of rain in a single week, and Bella has strong opinions about wet grass. Also, the local frogs sound like kittens and it scared the daylights out of everyone.Brian shares a powerful Memorial Day story — a last-minute drive to pay respects to PFC Tucker, a soldier he served as casualty assistance officer for, and the remarkable

Episode 101 kicks off with weather swings, cozy pets, and Dude unpacking the most stressful DOT physical of the year — an A1C reading that hijacked his blood pressure, a clean CPAP compliance report, and a doctor who took his sweet time delivering the verdict. Rich looks up what A1C actually measures and lands on the line of the night: your blood is a freaking Oreo.From there: a Level 2 hazmat inspection on I-35, two stops in one day, and why being cordial beats being combative on the roadside every
