We've Seen Enough to Have an Opinion


Peak Curmudgeon is what happens when two Gen-X friends who've been talking about everything for decades finally point a camera at themselves.

No bullshit. Just two guys who've been around long enough to have actual perspective — on the news, on culture, on the criminal motherfuckers trashing our planet.

Short, sharp, and once a week. Because nobody has time for a three-hour podcast and neither do we.

Co-Host  •  Executive Producer

Forty years in media — soap operas, network television, corporate communications — Scott has called more live cuts than most directors ever will. He's spent a career making everyone else look good on camera. Consider this his turn.

A flannel shirt, a Metallica tee, and forty years of opinions. College roommates don't stay close friends for four decades by accident — Charlie brings the perspective, the pushback, and the ratio of right-to-wrong that keeps Scott honest. Mostly.
