Get ready for a wild ride this weekend as we dive into the chaos of our moving week! Spoiler alert: the audio might sound like we recorded it inside a wind tunnel, but hey, we’re still bringing you the goods. We’re chatting about everything from getting kids into the trades (because who doesn’t want tiny humans wielding tools?) to the hilarious mishaps of hiring contractors. Trust me, you’ll want to hear about the shady characters lurking on those neighborhood Facebook groups—seriously, they’re like the cockroaches of the contractor world. So, grab your favorite beverage and join us for some laughs, tips, and maybe even a few “what was I thinking?” moments. Next week we promise it’ll be all smooth sailing, but for now, let’s embrace the chaos!

This weekend's show is a bit of a wild ride, and honestly, what else would you expect when we're in the middle of a studio move? I mean, who doesn't love the sweet sounds of chaos and the occasional echo of a rogue ladder falling in the background? Sure, the audio might not be our best work—let's just say it has that 'authentic' moving week charm—but the content is pure gold. We dive right into some serious trade talk, as Eric G. discusses getting kids involved in the trades. And trust me, it’s not just a boring lecture; it’s filled with personal anecdotes about how he got sucked into the construction world. Spoiler alert: it involves a lot of father-son bonding over TV shows and tools. Yeah, it’s cuter than it sounds.

But we don’t stop there! In the second hour, we’ve got the legendary John Dudley dropping truth bombs about hiring contractors. If you've ever thought about getting your kitchen remodeled or your bathroom fixed, you’ll want to hear this. He lays down the law on how to spot the unlicensed, uninsured contractors lurking on social media like they own the place. Seriously, it’s like a horror movie out there with some of these folks. We might even throw in some juicy stories of DIY disasters that’ll make you rethink your next home improvement project. Just remember, if someone suggests using Mrs. Carlson’s Remodeling, maybe do a quick Google search first—your home will thank you later.

All in all, it's a fun show with a bit of humor mixed in with the serious stuff, even if we sound like we recorded it while juggling chainsaws. So grab your headphones, brace yourself for the sound of chaos, and let’s dive into the world of home projects together.
