A week of night shifts, glitchy gear, and a stubborn mixer sets the stage for a bigger conversation about value: what it costs to keep creating, and what it means to stand by your work. We share how we keep the show running—why we delay firmware updates, how we’re wiring phones into the board for cleaner call‑ins—and why those choices add up when you’re independent.

Then we hit the story that lit us up: a 16,000 square foot drywall job where the owner pushed a rock‑bottom 95¢ per sq ft rate and expected a discount based on shared heritage. We walk through the math, the ethics, and the pressure to cave for “opportunity.” The takeaway is blunt and hopeful: knowing your worth isn’t arrogance; it’s how you protect your craft, your team, and your future. Sometimes the win is the one you walk away from.

From there, the energy flips to pure joy and a little redemption. We relive the Dodgers’ back‑to‑back championship—the anxiety, the late swing from Miguel Rojas, Will Smith’s game‑winner, and Yamamoto’s stone‑cold presence in the biggest moments. Beyond the highlight reel, we talk team culture: fewer egos, more trust, and the kind of unselfish play that wins tight games. A standout moment came from the Blue Jays’ tribute to Alex Vesia, a reminder that even on the sport’s biggest stage, grace matters.

We also wade into SNAP, the shutdown, and how spending fights get tied to everything else. Agree or disagree with our takes, you’ll hear real questions about clean funding, foreign aid, immigration, and who ultimately pays. It’s not about yelling; it’s about asking for clarity and owning the tradeoffs.

We wrap with community: a shout to Suavecito and small shops grinding it out, our latest download milestones across Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube Music, and an open invite to write in or come on the show.
