This week we dive into everything from viral content and controversial sports calls to tech upgrades, shop hacks, and the frustrations of Amazon!

Tech and Tool Talk:

• The iPhone Camera Bump Solution- We solve the biggest problem with modern phones: the stupid camera bump! We pitch solutions to make your phone flat—and give you a 25% larger battery

• Mac Modernization- Zac reveals his latest crazy electronics project: building a fully modern Mac Mini computer inside an old, iconic iMac G3 shell, complete with an OLED screen and sound system upgrade

• Sharpening Success- Deric details his fantastic experience sharpening his chisels with the Zen-Wu sharpening system and getting a mirror finish that could shave hair off your arms

• The TPU Fail- Eric shares the full story of his failed attempt to create a grippy, 3D-printed TPU clamping block to stop miter joints from slipping

• Viral Strategies- We analyze viral content strategies, from a guy whose social media is dedicated to buying and returning the same anvil, to an idea that could give us the next woodworking hit

• Sports Controversy: The guys debate AI umpires in baseball and the arbitrary nature of "traveling" calls in the NBA
