Episode 176
Monday, 12 January, 2026

Episode 176 - The First of 2026.We survived the holidays (barely), dodged the flu (mostly), and we’re back at the mics for the first episode of the year.It’s January in Idaho, but it’s raining and 40 degrees, so we’re trying to figure out if winter is broken or if we just got lucky. In this episode, we’re catching up on everything we missed over the break. We dig into the "Uncle" bag—a custom leather project that disappeared into the void—and discuss the etiquette of telling a police officer you’re carrying (Idaho vs. Utah vs. Arizona).Plus, we’re laying out our resolutions for 2026. One of us wants to shoot old-school film, one of us is committing to grinding 50 custom blades from scratch, and one of us is just trying to be "less of a d*ck" (we’ll let you guess which is which).In this episode:0:00 - Justin’s twang & intro.5:30 - The weird warm winter & crop concerns.12:15 - The legendary "Uncle" Bag & leatherwork projects.22:40 - Getting pulled over: To disclose or not to disclose?35:10 - Film photography vs. AI generation.52:00 - The 50 Custom Knife Challenge.1:15:00 - Football pools & SHOT Show teasers.Drop a comment with your 2026 resolution—or just roast us for ours.
