• 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.

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

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.

Transcript

[A]

Hunter Scott. Hashtag things that make a guy go, hell yeah. This week I built a workbench where all of the bolts were 10 millimeter. I successfully built the bench without losing a socket or having to go to the hardware store after the first purchase.

[B]

Hell yeah.

[C]

Huge news.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

I. My move, I. I don't necessarily like will lose a socket when I'm doing it, but I will misplace it for while for sure. And part of it is because my system for keeping track of stuff when I'm doing a project is just wear a sweatshirt and store everything I need in the pocket.

[C]

Yep.

[B]

And then you bend over for something and something falls out, you know, or you go in there, you pull something out and it. Something else comes with it and it's just a disaster.

[A]

You get too hot, pull your sweatshirt off and everything flies.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Yeah. Never fails.

[B]

Yeah. Or like. Yeah, like, you know, I'll screws end up in the wash because you know, I just was in the very like very corner of the, of the sweatshirt pocket. You know, where it's like if it was in the center you'd notice it, but because it kind of gets stuffed in the corner.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

So that's a great feeling. Oh, they're going to the hardware store one time is kind of a feat.

[D]

It's very impressive.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

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 that you just did.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

Then when you're trying to hang up the banger, you can't find the tools.

[B]

Yeah, well, yeah, I mean it was. You'd have to do that. Otherwise you need to have a second banner to put up in the rafters.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

You get enough banners too, then you're covered for like your kids graduation. Covering everything up. Banners make them really long. Yep.

[A]

Great conversation piece too.

[C]

Big time. Yeah. Gold banners.

[A]

Put it in my butt. Asks or says Miles got. Miles got me in trouble at my grandpa's funeral.

[B]

Oh God, did I do that?

[C]

He probably sneezed. He got a boner.

[B]

He's four for four.

[C]

Don't talk about it.

[A]

Recently went to my grandpa's funeral and on the way up we passed a concrete statue farm. It has a dick ton of concrete statues and I thought Miles would love it. 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.

[D]

Good one, Miles.

[B]

I gotta get an ocular pat down on these concrete statues. Honestly, I know what we're working with.

[D]

Take some notes for your next iteration of the lamp code.

[B]

I. I should find a photo of the concrete lamp. Like, I don't. Because I remember one time you asked if I had a photo of me working on it. I don't think I have that, but I definitely somewhere have a photo of the lamp I made. And it's. It's so hideous.

[C]

Did you sell it on Marketplace?

[B]

No, no.

[C]

I was gonna say you could go back in your.

[B]

Your archives, but like, it, it worked. Like, what I set out to do is to do a lamp like this. But then like, if you just took the lamp, you put it in a room, you'd be like, it would definitely be a conversation piece. Because people be like, is that like a NFL end zone pylon with a glow, glow, A light up dildo sticking out of the side? Fuck is that?

[D]

I think I always picture these as like a normal lamp. Like that look like a bowling pin kind of.

[B]

Oh, no, God.

[C]

Like a pottery.

[D]

Like the pin right behind your head. Right. I pictured it as a lamp that looked like that.

[B]

No, this thing is. It looks like a pylon. It was. I just. I just made a rectangle square form for it and poured the concrete in. And then I had to glue the socket to the, the panel and put glue around it. And then electrical made sure like the thing was watertight and then just poured concrete in it.

[D]

Do you have any of those lamps anywhere? Do you have any idea where they could be?

[B]

This one, I specifically remember being like. Because it was pretty heavy. I remember throwing it in a dumpster and it broke in half. And I was kind of like that. I was kind of like, hell yeah.

[D]

Damn, that'd be a great podcast edition.

[B]

It would. I could maybe make one again. Please.

[D]

I'd love to see one.

[B]

I can imagine. What are you doing this weekend, honey? Well, wife, I'm actually gonna go make a concrete lamp instead of hang out with you and our child.

[A]

It'll just be quick with a light bulb sticking out of there.

[C]

Yeah, I'm working. This is. This is work. Yeah.

[B]

But I gotta find a photo.

[C]

This, this table right here definitely will not hold it. No, we have to get a new end table.

[B]

Yeah, we would.

[A]

Things beat up.

[B]

Yeah. So I'm sorry about that. But also, like, were the statues kind of sick or.

[C]

Well, you also brought kind of just a light hearted, light hearted laugh to you know what could be a sad moment.

[B]

Better that better than a sneeze yeah, sneeze.

[D]

If I know anything about grandpa's is they want more laughter at their funerals than tears anyway, so.
