    The One Where They Investigate Fraud | Off The Cut Podcast Episode 222

    We are thrilled to report that Deric is back. He’s fresh out of the hospital after an emergency surgery. While he was stuck in a hospital bed eavesdropping on a mysterious old lady who woke up with a broken hip, Eric has been watching the charred remains of his neighbor's house get picked apart by a ServPro investigation team. We've got some serious concerns about local construction safety after Eric witnessed a roofer being dangled by his ankles over a three-story drop just to staple down some Tyvek wrap. We also dive deep into the underbelly of scammy marketing emails, using ChatGPT to break down exactly how these "agencies" can magically guarantee you $3,000 a day in extra revenue without any risk. Plus, Deric shares his new favorite strategy for dealing with telemarketers.Zac shares some behind-the-scenes struggles from his recent course launch, proving that troubleshooting tech glitches is a universal nightmare.

    The One Where They Hotbox The Neighborhood | Off The Cut Podcast Episode 220

    We're breaking down the unspoken rules of hobbies—like why rolling up to a hockey game with white gloves or carrying a pristine, scratch-free skateboard automatically makes you look like a total noob. We vent about the absolute misery of video editing software when it inexplicably pauses your render at 12% for days, eating up 40+ hours of troubleshooting to no avail. We also dive into the absurd hoops you have to jump through to set up online courses and battle anti-piracy browser blockers Plus, there's nothing quite like waking up to your neighbor's house engulfed in flames , forcing you to frantically hose down your own roof. Oh, and we share some choice words for subscription models trying to bleed us dry.  Grab your Festool air purifier —it's getting smoky in here Got questions?

    The One Where They Torture Solicitors | Off The Cut Podcast Episode 218

    We're back and diving straight into the harsh realities of creating content when the algorithm clearly prefers confirmation bias over the actual, frustrating truth. Zac gives us the rundown on a speaker build that required way more technical tweaking than those viral DIY videos ever admit, and we debate if the new Kreg joinery tool actually has what it takes to dethrone the Festool Domino, or if we're all just victims of influencer marketing. We also swap notes on the absolute best ways to handle door-to-door salespeople, the mystery of Carhartt's transition into high fashion, deep pour epoxy that decides to smoke in the cup, the devastating results of taking a Japanese pole saw to aluminum extrusion, and the shared global trauma of having a U2 album forcefully injected into our iPods. Grab your favorite MP3 player and settle in. Got questions?

    The One Where They Watch The Domino Fall | Off The Cut Podcast Episode 217

    We’re diving headfirst into the latest woodworking drama: Kreg's new "loose tenon joiner" and whether it actually has the precision (and the legal clearance) to dethrone the almighty Festool Domino. Zac is currently trapped in sponsor approval purgatory with his next video, leading us down a rabbit hole of agency contracts, vanity URLs, and why DIY foam speakers actually sound surprisingly good if you throw a subwoofer in the mix. We also debate the questionable merits of car audio upgrades, the sheer terror of filming DIY repairs in your driveway while your neighbors judge you, and why modern society desperately needs to bring back the visceral, aggressive satisfaction of slamming a flip phone shut to end a bad call. Finally, Deric brings us a masking nightmare on a hexagonal toy box panel, and we brainstorm incredibly convoluted ways to paint it white without ruining the epoxy inlay. Grab a seltzer, let's complain about tech, tools, and tape. Got questions?

    The One Where They Buy 100 Katy Perry Singles | Off The Cut-Episode 216

    We’re back in the shop (and the dentist's chair) this week. Zac’s sporting a brand-new crown, while someone else is apparently gaining 15,000 followers by pretending to be him. Deric got a whole ten-cent payday from Facebook monetization, and we dive deep into the absolute absurdity of the iTunes gift card scam—seriously, who is buying 100 Katy Perry singles in 2026? We also explore the dark side of 90s pop lyrics, realizing that some of our favorite radio hits were secretly about crystal meth and cocaine. Between debating why Brita filters are for "weak people" and the soul-crushing reality of recording voiceovers until you develop a speech impediment, we actually find time to talk shop. We’re geeking out over the new Fantic cordless soldering iron, discussing the merits of soldering versus crimping for car electronics, and walking through Eric’s master plan for a sage green bathroom remodel—including the inevitable debate over elongated vs. round toilet seats. Grab your favorite drink (room temperature, if you're Eric) and let's get into it. Got questions?
