The One Where They Defraud The Government | Off The Cut Podcast Episode 236
We've got a packed shop this week, literally. Eric managed to cram his router so full of sawdust it might be reclassified as a dust collector, leading to a deep dive into the fatal design flaws of router table intakes. Zac spent days wrestling with forms for a $40k Canadian government creator grant, which naturally led us down a rabbit hole of how to hypothetically game the system and hire each other. We also tackle the massive implications of YouTube rolling out A/B testing for videos, not just thumbnails, and how it's about to completely turn our editing workflows upside down. Meanwhile, Deric is singing the praises of his new perfectly balanced DeWalt cordless sander while trying to reverse-engineer a doweling jig for a toy box project without breaking the bank. Pop in the earbuds, fire up the dust collector and hang out with us in the shop.

The One Where They Rent Milk | Off The Cut Podcast Episode 235
We’re kicking things off with a collective wince as Deric details the agonizing slow-motion drop of his main camera while building a toy box. We debate whether shop cameras should be cared for like fine chisels or rental cars, coated in drywall mud and epoxy. Zac gives us the rundown on his ambitious plan to CNC mill a copper water block to overclock his new stripped-down PS5 hardware, which sparks a massive debate on digital media.We discuss the very real possibility of subscription models creeping into our power tools. Do meal kit deliveries save money or is navigating the grocery store better. Is dropping thousands of dollars upfront to escape monthly software fees forever better? Why do tool batteries always seem to brick themselves right when you need them the most?

The One Where They Update The Enemies List | Off The Cut Podcast Episode 234
We are adding a few questionable corporations to our permanent $h!t list. We break down the absolute worst customer service experiences, from sunglasses trapping us in support-portal purgatory to banks willing to lose customers over a hot dog. We also take a hard look at the predatory nature of default opt-in check out options like shipping insurance and the ridiculousness of offering financing on a four-dollar purchase. It’s not all rage-bait though, we highlight a few local spots doing customer retention right by tossing in free kolaches. Deric talks us through the terrifying but satisfying process of diagnosing a fallen neutral line that was taking down half his circuit breakers every time he turned on the garbage disposal. Zac debates the merits of washing and reusing Home Depot Homer buckets, and Eric navigates the weird world of PayPal disputes and credit card scammers testing stolen numbers on his digital courses. Strap in, it's about to get weird.
