    The One Where They Go To Gridfinity And Beyond (Episode 202-Off The Cut Podcast)

    We are diving into the cult of "Gridfinity" to decide if it’s actually the ultimate organization system or just a hobby that eats up 80 hours of print time to save you 4 seconds. We also share our (possibly unethical) Amazon return hacks to avoid shipping fees, discuss the "Infinite Filament Glitch" on Maker World, and debate the controversial topic of Drill Clutches (do they actually work?). Plus, Eric explains why he refunds customers without asking for the product back, and we break down the difference between filming a "Documentary" (Project Video) vs. an "Interview" (Talking Head).

    The One Where They Cook The Books (Episode 201-Off The Cut Podcast)

    Zac is back from exile (vacation), and we waste no time launching a conspiracy theory that the "Shop Sounds" podcast is inflating their giveaway numbers. We dive deep into "AI Psychosis" and the Mandela Effect—debating whether the seahorse emoji ever existed and if the Fruit of the Loom logo actually had a cornucopia (it did and Zac will fight anyone who says different). Eric shares his nightmare of trying to cut concrete expansion joints in his shop (creating an "atomic bomb" of dust), and we discuss "Exploding Tree" and “Frozen Fog” weather warnings that sound fake but are terrifyingly real. Plus, we break down proper movie theater etiquette and why Zac is building "invisible speakers" out of construction materials. Got questions?

    The One Where They... 200! (Episode 200-Off The Cut Podcast)

    We made it to Episode 200, and we celebrated by... getting rid of Zac? With the third host "exiled," Eric and Deric take the wheel to discuss the absolute nightmare of installing ceiling fans on 18-foot vaulted ceilings—including the terror of "lean-to" ladders and why "Integrated LEDs" are the worst invention in lighting history. Eric discusses his new "Mail Slot" plywood storage rack that magically fits behind a garage door rail, and we nerd out on YouTube strategy: why "scheduling" a video is actually a trap, and why clickbait titles are becoming boringly literal again.

    The One Where They Raw Dog It Internationally (Episode 1199)

    We are on the brink of Episode 200, but first, we are going to commit international hot dog crimes. We discuss the genius (and legality) of a "Hot Dog Arbitrage" scheme involving Canadian Costco memberships and a 53-foot trailer. We also dive into the nightmare of small business bookkeeping, why we lie about our invoice numbers to look more professional, and the struggle of using AI to write video scripts without sounding like a cheesy late-night infomercial. Zac reveals his insane plan to cool his PC using literal winter air from outside, and we debate whether we should start selling woodworking plans measured entirely in "Zac Feet." Got questions?

    The One Where They Get Poke(d) Episode 198 -Off The Cut Podcast

    We are kicking off the new year by discussing our "resolutions"—specifically the struggle to actually finish a project before starting the next shiny one. We dive deep into the economics of injection molding vs. 3D printing (shoutout to Travis from ⁨@ShopNation⁩ and ⁨@PrintFarmAcademy⁩ for the breakdown) and debate whether scripting our videos too heavily is actually killing the fun of creating. Things get heated when we switch to fast food: from Zac's traumatizing Burger King experience to the absolute rage caused by digital menus that change while you are trying to order. We also discover "Mexican Sushi," debate the pronunciation of "Poke," and explain why "Monopoly Deal" is superior to the board game that ruins friendships. Got questions?

    The One Where They Demand Green M&Ms (Episode 197-Off The Cut Podcast)

    We are closing out the year by debating the ethics of selling 3D printed "dragons" at craft fairs and discussing when a maker business should graduate from 3D printing to injection molding (the "MVP" strategy). We also dive into the reality of "Outlet Mall" quality, we suspect that brands are manufacturing intentionally worse products for discount stores. Plus, we break down the legendary Van Halen "Green M&M" rider clause—it turns out it wasn't about being a diva, but a genius safety check—and we set our "F-Off Price" for working with brands that have wronged us.

    The One Where They Crown The King Of Tools (Off The Cut-Episode 196)

    We are wrapping up the year with the ultimate Showdown, a March Madness-style bracket to crown the absolute best power tool brand. We randomly assign brands to defend, forcing us to make passionate arguments for tools we might actually hate (looking at you, Powerfist). We debate whether a "lifetime warranty" is actually a scam, why Powerfist is the worst name in marketing history, and we accidentally discover the most inappropriate mascot in sports history. Plus, one of us gets disqualified for using AI to write their debate points 🫢 Got questions?

    The One Where They Play Jeopardy (Episode 195-Off The Cut Podcast)

    It is finally time for the "Sawdust Showdown!" We turn the podcast into a Jeopardy-style trivia game where Eric and Zac battle it out over categories like "Getting Drilled" (identifying tools without logos), "2xForefathers" (woodworking history), and the surprisingly difficult "Hand Stuff." We also debate the best way to store ratchet straps (and whether the retractable ones are trash), is there an "exit strategy" for content creators, and share why we are terrified of signing contracts that let brands own our face forever.
