Key Discussion Points and Insights

1. The Universal Manly Triumph: Losing Fewer Tools

• Hunter Scott's Listener Submission kicks things off: building a workbench with only 10mm bolts, finishing the job without losing a socket or needing multiple hardware store trips. (“This week I built a workbench ... I successfully built the bench without losing a socket or having to go to the hardware store after the first purchase.” – Hunter, [00:02])

• The crew wholeheartedly agrees this is cause for celebration.

  • Ryan: “Hell yeah.” ([00:16])
  • Myles confesses to perpetually misplacing tools in his sweatshirt pockets, leading to dropped, lost, or even laundered screws. ([00:23]–[00:55])
    • “My system for keeping track of stuff ... is just wear a sweatshirt and store everything I need in the pocket.” – Myles ([00:27])

• Banner-Worthy Feat: They joke that such accomplishments deserve banners in the garage rafters.

  • “You should like, we should start hanging banners in the rafters for that. Like you should be able to hang a banner in your garage for that feat you just did.” – Myles ([01:20])

2. Midwest Humor at a Funeral – The Trouble Myles Caused

• Listener “Put it in my butt” submits a story: remembering Myles' love for concrete statue farms, the listener laughs thinking of him during his grandpa’s funeral, gets scolded by their mom and blames Myles for the embarrassment.

  • “During the funeral I let out a chuckle because I was thinking about how much he would love it. And then my mom yelled at me, thanks, Miles, for making me look like a dick at my grandpa's funeral.” – Listener ([02:20])

• The Gang’s Reaction:

  • Myles jokes about needing an “ocular pat down” of the concrete statues ([02:43]) and reminisces about his own odd homemade concrete lamp project.
  • The group teases the inappropriate laughter:
    • “He probably sneezed. He got a boner.” ([02:05], Jerrod/Jerrod-style banter)
    • “Don't talk about it.” ([02:14])

• Philosophy on Funerals: They spin the story into how laughter gives levity to sad occasions.

  • “If I know anything about grandpa's is they want more laughter at their funerals than tears anyway.” – Tyler ([05:18])

3. The Saga of the Concrete Lamp

• Myles’ Crafting Disaster:

  • Recalls making a hideous, ultra-heavy concrete lamp, so ugly he threw it out.
    • “Is that like a NFL end zone pylon with a glow ... a light up dildo sticking out of the side? Fuck is that?” – Myles ([03:17])
    • “It was pretty heavy. I remember throwing it in a dumpster and it broke in half. And I was kind of like, hell yeah.” – Myles ([04:18])
  • Jokes about rebuilding one as a podcast artifact, but his wife and kid may not approve of the lost weekend. ([04:35]–[04:46])

• Lamps as Conversation Pieces: The crew riffs on what it would take to display such a monstrosity in the studio – likely a new, sturdier end table. ([04:54]–[05:00])
