This week, the boys dive into the age-old toilet seat debate—up, down, or just a secret third option??? Walker and Sax share tales from the trenches of home repairs and weigh in on the right to repair movement. To wrap it all up, we get real about what we're most thankful for and what we've been reading/watching lately.

It's a little bit of chaos on this short holiday week, so sit back, relax and enjoy a little bit of nonsense, and a whole lot of heart!
