Peaks and Valleys

Red Taped

I asked him, “How can a man be brave if he is afraid?” “That is the only time a man can be brave,” he told me. – Robb Stark describing Ned Stark, Game of Thrones

Two bearcats went over the mountain to see what they could see. When they got to the peak, they immediately fell into a deep valley where they “dulled-out” for several months. We taped this episode two months ago, put it on a shelf, and quasi-retired. However, during these trying times we all need to do our part. Unfortunately for you, our part is keeping you occupied with a meandering podcast about the meandering trails of peaks and valleys that form modern life.

This week we retire “the king of parables,” party (responsibly) with Dave Ramsey, discuss a monk’s dilemma, and eat love-sushi until we get sick. Hold on tight…this episode will leave you with truth-bumps (noncontagious). Stay well, bearcats!
