We discuss the recent shooting at a In-N-Out in Idaho where a young man with training, ability and the willingness to DO something stepped in a likely saved many people. We also touch on what Ethan Thornton is doing with his multibillion-dollar company (at 22 years old) building rockets. The common thread is young men who are getting after it!

The Lost Episode or "Summer 2026" - Ep 131 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Was this episode really lost? Not quite. It was recorded and then the flurry of summertime work and activities kept the producer busy. So here it is in all of its outdated info. Although it does fill in what Josh and Ian were up to for the first few weeks of summer. Cheers! Beers: Spruce Budd Lager by Fort George Brewing Old Chub Scotch Ale by Oskar Blues Brewing
