Wils Pelton and Josh Gondelman swap stories about tiny home disasters (the disasters are tiny, and the homes aren't too big either), expensive furniture decisions, and the deeply comforting feeling of knowing a guy who can fix things.

What You’ll Hear

The Great AC Search: One new bedroom air conditioner sends Wils and Josh into the emotional maze of appliance shopping, online reviews, and trying to trust a recommendation from an actual human being.

Furniture Anxiety Spiral: A Facebook Marketplace chair becomes a full emotional support group activity, complete with second opinions, budgeting pep talks, and a passionate defense of mid-century furniture.

The World’s Smallest Screw: After a gym accident leaves Wils carrying a microscopic glasses screw home between two fingers, a very kind optician saves Survivor night — and restores everyone’s faith in repair people.
