## Resource

In this week’s Two Grumpy Vets and a Duuude, we kick off with the VA’s sudden (and now halted) rule change that could have tied disability ratings to medication effectiveness—why it sparked instant backlash, what it could have meant for reevaluations, and how protected status works for long-held ratings. From there, we roam across our usual Gen X terrain: the news media’s spin and propaganda cycles, Epstein file noise, political grandstanding in sports, and the SAVE Act voter ID irony. We also detour into life stuff—small-town memories, sledding scorchers, old-school TV, crypto’s rollercoaster, games we’re playing, and why modern Olympics choices (hello, flag football) make us grumble. It’s candid, unsponsored, and very us: three friends hashing it out, so men keep talking, thinking, and showing up for each other. We wrap with our value-for-value invite—no sponsors, no censors. If you got value, return value via time, talent, treasure, or by hitting folks in the mouth and sharing the show.
