Reporting live from the newly DIY'ed stu, Julia is joined by beautiful Nick, the king of DIY, to chart the chaotic history of "doing it yourself." From ancient Greeks assembling Ikea-style furniture to TikTokers accidentally creating mustard gas in their homes, they uncover how the urge to DIY is fundamentally human. Along the way, they discuss Victorian men who couldn't do shit, 1950s dads working through PTSD by tinkering in their garages, the health benefits of working with your hands, and the scientific proof that gay people are superior at home improvement.

Digressions include Nick's evil brother's latest crimes against humanity, the life-saving potential of eliminating daylight savings times, and a new candy that awakens something ancient within us.
