[LS191] Glowforge’s Big Problem
This week’s episode drifts through the realities of year-end laser work — juggling ornament season, balancing what your time is worth, and knowing when to say no. The guys catch up on the November Coin Challenge, talk through design quirks like eyeballs and portal concepts, and debate community expectations versus personal bandwidth.

[LS188] Do We Need to Change Everything?
Alex, Kyle, and Anthony get brutally honest about the future of Laser Everything and what it means to run a deep-dive, education-first channel in a shorts-driven, review-obsessed YouTube world. They talk about the constant pressure to “sell out” with surface-level reviews, the financial reality of depending on the LMA and community support, and how soul-filling projects (like slow-mo fiber footage and passion builds) often flop with the algorithm. Along the way they wrestle with burnout, gating content behind memberships, whether to narrow or expand the niche, how to use shorts without becoming a shorts channel, and how to reach new...

Poison Ivy
Boyce is in his Christmas pajamas and ready to roll. Today we’re talking TCG’s, you into Pokemon? Magic the Gathering? If not listen anyway it’s a damn good time. What’s the worst thing you’ve ever done to you brother? What do you do if you get poison ivy on your dick? All of these questions and more will be answered while Jimmy pinches his tiny penis and Boyce whips out old photos of him dressed like a stripper and gets in trouble in the Navy.

Cum or Drool?
Some doctors knifed around in Jimmy’s neck so he’s been killing time leaving comments on PornHub. Alex looks like a blob fish because he threw out his back and Boyce looks like an expert because he threw down on the chiropractors of the world. Chris gets a pre-raise before teaching everyone how to play Cum or Drool and Jimmy gets a chubby.
