Chuck and Ray find themselves overwhelmed lately, as may many of you! From the daily Muskrat nonsense to having to remind them all that it's not a liquor Cabinet, we're feeling what a lot of you are, and seek ways to relieve that stress, and find a positive path forward. (Frankly, it's the positive part that's been a challenge lately...)

The recent events, real and catastrophized, are part of this episode, too. Some of the discussion centers around our continuing appreciation of Indivisible.org and what they do! Find your chapter easily on their site!
