Ep. 149 - Home Repair Drama, Moving Problems & Trump Disaster

About this episode

The episode features a mix of personal stories, cultural discussions, and updates from the hosts after a two-week break.

The crew's back after a two-week break with stories from the Houston rodeo, golf trips, and life updates. Maxx breaks down his failed attempt to score Metallica tickets at the Sphere (400,000 people in queue), while Joe recounts the Chris Stapleton concert experience and shares the touching backstory about why Stapleton always performs with his wife. The conversation bounces from rodeo fashion and controversies to Christian's upcoming move into his new house, complete with tales of gas leaks, property taxes, and the chaos of packing up. Things take a turn when the guys dive into deeper territory—discussing Houston's spring break madness, the rodeo brawl that shut everything down, and the broader cultural questions about public behavior and safety. Joe breaks down the Iran situation (with the guys admitting they're probably out of their depth), they debate property taxes and government spending, and Maxx reveals he finally finished his first book in 15 years. Between talk of paid household help, deep sea fishing plans, and Shawley's upcoming run club event, it's a classic rambling session that covers everything from Mormon Housewives to shark cage diving.
