Chuck, Eric, and our Red-Headed Intern Patrick discuss some presidential...shall we call them....gaffs? Yes we chose both sides of the aisle.

Chuck and Eric discuss what we refer to as "wrinkles" in a plan that can cause many veterans anxiety. These wrinkles can be, and are, any sort of minor change or variation in a plan or scheduled event. What sort of things cause these, what can one expect when it happens, and how can they be avoided? Now these wrinkles do not go as far as becoming what we call a "Brain Splinter" which is a TOTAL breakdown in the plan or schedule of events and causes rather massive upheaval in the minds and emotions of some veterans.

Chuck and Eric interview Kai, a 21 year old who "came out at 14". Kai has and is currently, (to the best of my knowledge) using hormone therapy to aid in the transgender process, but has not undergone Gender Reassignment Surgery at this time, primarily citing the cost of such a surgery. In this interview we three discuss if MAPs (Minor Attracted Persons, otherwise known as pedophiles) should be allowed to legitimately claim to be a part of the LGBTQA+ movement.
