In this episode, Jaime sits down with his brother and longtime business partner, Erik Perkins, for an honest, humorous, and heartfelt conversation about life behind the scenes at Perkins Builder Brothers. From growing up in the Appalachian mountains to becoming YouTube sensations in the world of home building, the brothers reflect on their journey — both as family and as leaders of a thriving construction business.

Listeners will hear stories from their childhood, how they’ve handled the pressure of growing a YouTube channel alongside quality custom homes, and the challenges of balancing family, work, and friends. Whether you're a builder, a fan of their videos, or someone who just appreciates real talk between brothers, this episode delivers laughs, insights, and a deep look into what it means to build a life — not just a house.

From cleaning gutters to cleaning out garbage disposals, every homeowner knows the pain of those small-but-mighty chores that always seem to pile up. In this episode, we vent, laugh, and swap tips about the most annoying tasks lurking on the homeowner’s to-do list. Why do they feel so overwhelming? Are these a once a year kind-a-thing? Join us as we share stories of DIY triumphs and disasters, new chores we didn't even know about, and the satisfaction of finally crossing some of those pesky jobs off the list. Whether you’re a seasoned homeowner or a newbie, you’ll come away feeling seen, inspired, and maybe even motivated to tackle that long-overdue task.

Hey everyone! Join us this week as we get caught up!

Jaime’s back on the mic with a big update on the Mega Modern Build — what’s working, what’s been a total headache, and if you are watching....some descriptive visuals to help us all visualize the final look and feel of the largest build the Perkins Builder Brothers have ever done, and maybe the largest they ever do! Want to follow along with visuals we are using? Visit this link (https://www.advancedhouseplans.com/plan/royal-palms).

Plus, it’s Q&A time! There are always more fan questions than we can answer, so Jaime is taking some time out of this week's episode to tackle some of those questions.

On this episode of Let Jaime Talk, the turf talk gets serious (and sometimes a little ridiculous). Hosted by a Jaime, a grass-cutting fanatic, and Ben who does love some time behind a mower! This show dives into Jaime's world of lawn equipment, landscaping tales, and all his machines that chop, trim, and whir their way through green Perkins glory.

From deep dives on "Weed-eating" vs. "Weed-whacking", how and when to sharpen those lawnmower blades, Lines...circles...or checkerboards? But there is always a god tangent or ten to keep things interesting! We bring you practical advice, entertaining stories, and the kind of banter only found in the back aisle of your favorite hardware store.

Whether you're a weekend warrior with a push mower or a pro with a trailer full of gear, we’ve got the blades and banter for you. Start your engines, drop the deck, put on those headphones and tune in with us this week for Jaime's fresh cuts. Bonus points for those that listen to this episode while cutting the grass!

Many things can send Jaime down a rabbit hole....in this episode we plan to get stuck talking about a few things Jaime loves...his cars, trucks, and trailers! We all know Jaime is a very practical guy, with many practical toys...in this episode we need to have a conversation about why he chooses these specific cars, trucks, & trailers. What makes them so special? As well as what advice he has for others about choosing the right ride at the right price! Who knew he could talk for almost two hours about his cars, truck and trailers...and guess what we did not even get to talk about his favorite "whips" from the past!

By popular request, we continue on our journey to interview all the members of the Perkins Builder Brothers team. Jono is here in the studio this week to bless us with his wisdom and knowledge. We all know that Jono is one of the most elusive and mysterious of the Perkins Builder Brothers crew....and he is a quiet one on the job site. Join us during this episode as we try to get Mr. Clawson to open up and tell us some about who he is, what has made him the carpenter and "international man of mystery" that he is today.

I know we mentioned a potential guest being on this week, but we decided to go ahead and record the follow-up to THE ACCIDENT episode with THE DEVICE episode. In this podcast, we will let Jaime talk all about his hand after the accident and how he came about being introduced to a prosthetic device. Jaime will go into full detail about the Naked Prosthetics device (https://www.npdevices.com/), all the way down to the tiny screws that hold it all together! He will talk pros and cons and everything he has been able to do to push the device to what seems like limitless capabilities. We hope this conversation can help anyone who has been questioning exploring a prosthetic device like Jaime's for themselves, a loved one, friend, or just anyone they know who might have been affected by a life-altering accident.

It has been a little more than 5 years now since.... The Accident. In this episode, Jaime talks to Ben about that dreadful day with all the details. What was he doing, why, how? What was going through his head, and so much more. Join us as we revisit a tragic time in Jaime's past, and how he dealt with the pain and confusion during that time. We start off with discussing the layout of his workshop, and then move on to what he was working on that morning, and the woodworking tool that changed his life forever.
