The One Where They Rent Milk | Off The Cut Podcast Episode 235 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
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 cree
The One Where They Update The Enemies List | Off The Cut Podcast Episode 234 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
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.

Read excerpt
Scott Walsh is hanging out with us again to tackle the creeping "enshittification" of modern woodworking machinery—because apparently, someone out there really thinks you need Wi-Fi and a touch screen on every tool.

Read excerpt
We're missing Zac tonight, and despite the offers to get sponsored by an AI company, we will not be replacing him with an AI clone—unless they take our F*off price. We break down the real cost of chasing perfect video B-roll, the magic of using AI for lazy infomercial graphics, why everyone insists on trying to reinvent table saw safety and how some mistakes are permanent. We also dive into the new Harvey "Dream Saw" with its proximity sensors, SawStop's aggressive new bandsaw tech that will cos
The One Where They Buy Pink Hair | Off The Cut Podcast Episode 231 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You won’t believe the ridiculous lengths we go to for a good shot—including Zac securing a suspicious amount of sparkly pink costume hair just to test out a robot vacuum. We cover a lot of ground, from Deric burning 6,000 calories doing yard work on the hottest day of the year in Texas, to the grim reality of completely losing all passion for a build the second it sits idle for more than a day. Zac is losing his mind, and voice, re-recording an entire 24-minute voiceover for his upcoming GameCub
