Jaime’s back at it—this time debating one of (his) life’s greatest dilemmas (at the moment): how many trucks is too many, and can you have a work truck and a family truck? New work truck smell or old truck reliability. Is it worth trading in the squeaky seat and mystery stain for a shiny touchscreen and a payment plan? Or do the old rigs still have more heart left to give...despite all the quirks?

But wait, it gets better—because once you’ve got your truck, where are you gonna park it? Jaime dives into the ultimate showdown: carport vs. pole barn vs. shed. Do you go simple, go big, or just build one of each and call it a day?

From truck dilemmas to storage logistics, it’s a full-throttle episode of opinions, tangents, side stories, and just a little envy of people with dry tools and covered parking.

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.

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.
