Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Listener Problem: The Stuck Toolbox Drawer

• Listener "Hunter Scott" writes in with a conundrum: the top drawer of his toolbox is stuck open due to a plastic container obstructing the bottom drawer. He can't access the problem or find a way to remove the drawers, and he wants to avoid a "good old fashioned spaz out" and breaking the tool chest.
  • "My toolbox drawers are stuck open... I can't find screws to take a drawer out. And trying to avoid a good old fashioned spaz out. I don't want to break my tool chest." (A, 00:07)

Solutions and Reactions:

• Spazzing Out as a Solution (00:57)

  • Myles and the gang immediately lean into the “Midwest guy” impulse: when in doubt, apply brute force.
    • "I don't know why people keep trying to avoid the age old strategy of just spazzing on it." – Myles (D, 01:00)
  • Ryan agrees:
    • "Just spaz like Miles says, crush, break whatever the plastic thing is..." (B, 02:31)

• Elbow Grease vs. Ingenuity (03:00)

  • Jerrod jokes about actually putting in elbow grease rather than overthinking:
    • "...just rolling your fucking sleeves up and putting some elbow grease into it..." (D, 03:00)

• Creative Fixes:

  • “Tip the toolbox upside down” or use a blowtorch to melt the plastic—tongue in cheek, obviously.
    • "Just tip your toolbox upside down." – Jerrod (C, 02:04)
    • "You also could stick a blowtorch back there and just melt the plastic." – Myles (D, 02:19)

• Why Not Just Sell It? (03:26)

  • The group pivots: if all else fails, just offload the thing as-is on Facebook Marketplace, omitting details in "Midwestern nice" way.
    • "You could just sell the whole damn thing on Facebook Marketplace as is, and they don't have to disclose anything about the drawers..." – Myles (A, 03:26)
    • Jerrod jokes about listing photos and confusing buyers:
      • "Well, you didn't disclose it. Oh, well, did you not look at the pictures?" – Jerrod (C, 03:35)
    • "All you have to do is just get the guy to touch the tool chest, and he has to buy yours now. Tag, you're it." – Myles (D, 05:06, 05:20)

---

2. Marketplace Mischief (04:27–05:44)

• The segment becomes a riff on “tag” and Midwest selling antics:
  • Turning toolbox selling into a literal game of tag. If a buyer touches it, "you're it"—no tag backs.
  • "You hand them toolbox and you just say, you're it. No, no. Tag backs." – Myles (D, 05:24)
  • The group imagines a running bit or a movie on this premise.
  • "That actually would be...a funny bit. Like, just play a huge game of tag on Marketplace..." – Jerrod (C, 05:32)

---

3. Tangent: Who Would You Rather Assistant For? (05:46–07:48)

• Quickfire Question: Would Tyler rather be Myles's or Ryan's personal assistant for a day?
  • Stipulations: obey every command, cook all their food on a grill.
  • Myles claims he'd have Tyler do increasingly bizarre errands, referencing Midwest husband moves:
    • "Wait till I have you, you know, running errands for my wife... Wait till I got you picking up Jergens for me at the store." – Myles (D, 06:15–06:42)
  • Ryan says he'd just do the tasks himself out of impatience.
    • "I would rather be Ryan's assistant because I think you'd get annoyed of having someone else do it for him, and he would just do it himself." – Ryan (B, 07:31)
  • Jerrod supports the idea, referencing how Ryan handles things himself.
    • "100%." – Jerrod (C, 07:38)

Transcript

[A]

Hunter Scott. Boys, I need help. My toolbox drawers.

[B]

Me too.

[A]

My toolbox drawers are stuck open. The bottom drawer has a plastic container that in the bottom of the one that in the bottom of the one up top. My problem is that the bottom drawer can't shut all the way, so. And the top is stuck all the way out. So I can't get into the bottom drawer to move the plastic. I can't find that screws to take a drawer out. And trying to avoid a good old fashioned spaz out. I don't want to break my tool chest.

[C]

Hunter, you need help writing, so I think is what you need help with. You're putting Jared through the fucking ring.

[B]

Yeah, that was unfair.

[A]

I took my shoes off.

[D]

Okay. But here's the deal though. A magic treehouse book is gonna put Jared through the rare.

[A]

There's a reason I've never read them.

[D]

Yeah, good books. I mean, I don't know why people keep trying to avoid the age old strategy of just spazzing on it.

[B]

I don't know. Right.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

Like I think that that's number one, just do a little bit of a spaz on it. And number two, I mean, why do you need it to close? I think is also the question, you know, like if you just. You close it all the way and even if it's open just like that much, then just pull all of your other drawers open just that much and then it'll just look uniform from the front.

[B]

That's a good point. What's the.

[D]

You don't even need to worry about it.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

What's the plastic thing causing the issue, Jared?

[D]

Oh, I don't know.

[C]

Don't make him do that again, Tyler.

[A]

And the top is stuck all the way out. So I can't get into the bottom drawer to move the plastic. I can't find screws to take a drawer out. And trying to regardless.

[D]

Oh, so the drawer is stuck all the way out.

[A]

Seems that way.

[C]

You could just. Yeah, you could just. Well, here's the thing. When one door closes, another one opens. So I think spazzing may be your only option. And that may require you to just tip your toolbox upside down.

[A]

Mm.

[D]

I mean you also could stick a blowtorch back there and just melt the plastic.

[C]

It's not a bad idea.

[A]

Yep. Don't breathe it in. Not bad.

[B]

Yeah, I think if it's.

[D]

Do that.

[B]

If it's something lame, just spaz like Miles says, crush, break whatever the plastic thing is because you're not going to

[C]

put it back in the toolbox and risk that happening again.

[B]

Right. Just spaz on it, dude. Quit. Quit avoiding it. Get the spaz.

[D]

I think I also need to look at this as an opportunity to learn everything you can about this toolbox.

[C]

Absolutely. I know everything about Turtle boxes.

[D]

Yeah, you do? Yeah. You do?

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

I mean, did you try. Did you try just. Just opening the bottom drawer? Try that. Did you try just, like, actually, like, rolling your fucking sleeves up and putting some elbow grease into it and stop being a. And just.

[C]

Valid question for Hunt.

[A]

So the advice is don't be a. Yeah, yeah.

[D]

Spaz on it.

[A]

Or, Ryan, they could just sell the whole damn thing on Facebook marketplace as

[B]

is, and they don't have to disclose anything about the drawers being.

[A]

Yeah. Disclosed.

[C]

Yeah. Well, you didn't disclose it. Oh, well, did you not look at the pictures? You used to not see that drawer

[B]

open as is, give me my money.

[C]

Casually.

[D]

Yeah. You just put in the caption, like, as seen in the photos, that the drawers do open, and it's just that one drawers that's stuck open.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

That's like, a great way to get around that.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

And then they pick it up, and then you're just like,

[B]

you.

[D]

You start. You. You tell them, like, they. They try and close the drawer. Then you just start being like, wow, you don't even know how to close a tool chest drawer. That's so embarrassing.

[A]

Don't be a.

[B]

Don't be like, what did you do? Why are my drawers stuck now?

[C]

Yeah. Are you a man of your word? You said you were gonna buy it.

[D]

You break it, you buy it.

[C]

Yeah, well, the listing photo, too, is only straight on, so it. Like, if it's straight, straight on, the drawer looks like it's closed.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

And up and down. You're like, eye level with his chest.

[A]

That's good, right? This isn't your first rodeo.

[C]

No.

[D]

Also, Ryan, in the fine print, you need to start adding to your listings. You break it, you buy it.

[C]

Turtlebox. Yeah. It was charged when you got. Before you got here.

[D]

So, like, I'm not responsible for anything that happens after you touch it for the first time, even if you're just looking at it.

[C]

I'm not responsible for anything that happens after you.

[D]

All you have to do is just get the guy to touch the tool chest, and he has to buy yours now.

[C]

Yeah. Yeah. What do you think?

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Yeah. Feel it up a little bit. You like it?

[B]

Can I come look at this? Yeah, you can, but be careful.

[C]

Yeah, you can come touch it if you want.

[A]

Yeah, it's like tag.

[D]

You're it.

[C]

Yeah, Your problem.

[D]

Now, that's funny.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

You hand them toolbox and you just say, you're it. No, no. Tag backs.

[B]

Ryan just runs away.

[C]

Here, take it that way. That actually would be. That'd be a funny bit. Um, like, just play a huge game of tag on Marketplace, and whoever. Whoever ends up with the item for the longest, they lose.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Should make a movie about that iced mounter. Hashtag stump. Tyler, would you rather be Miles's assistant for 24 hours or Ryan's assistant for 24 hours? Stipulations, you have to do everything they say, get them whatever they want, and cook their food on a grill. Also, the food has to be edible.

[B]

I mean, I already do all that for Miles, minus the grilling.

[D]

I don't think you understand the levels that I'm. I'm willing to make another human do for me. Yeah, no, I mean, you think it's bad now? Wait till I have you clean it out my truck. Wait till I have you, you know, running errands for my wife. Oh, man.

[C]

Dude, wait till it has a jerking.

[D]

It's just me.

[B]

I've already.

[D]

Wait till. Wait till I got you picking up Jergens for me at the store.

[A]

At the Walmart parking lot.

[D]

Then when you don't. And then when you don't get the right flavor, I send you bad flavor, you know?

[C]

Wow.

[B]

Two of those three things Miles has had me do for him before, Jurgens.

[C]

And I've.

[B]

I had to clean the truck out before we went on a road trip one time. And then I've also. You've had me grab. Pick something up for Ann when I was out buying props.

[D]

Okay, so, one, that's just smart move, husband move by me. Two, it's. My truck is a company truck at that point. So essentially, you're not cleaning up my truck. You're clearing out your truck. And then I don't remember the other time, I think, yeah, I just needed some Jergens, so.

[B]

No, I haven't done that one for you yet.

[A]

Oh,

[B]

honestly, I have.

[C]

It's not that bad.

[B]

I'm not stumped. I would rather be Ryan's assistant because I think you'd get annoyed of having someone else do it for him, and he would just do it himself.

[C]

100%.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Yeah. Not stumped.

[C]

Yeah. Like when I'm. When I get valet and shit. Because I get valet, most places I

[D]

go,

[B]

except for places with poles in the parking lot.

[C]

Yeah, it's one of those things where I'm just, like, I could just park this myself, but if you're insisting.
