In this episode, Chris and Buck are joined by longtime friends and former coworkers Joel and Dalen (aka Day-Day) for a wide-ranging, unfiltered conversation that blends humor, nostalgia, and real life reflection. The guys reminisce about shop life, legendary moments like the infamous cardboard box incident, the “crow call,” road gigs, and the kind of friendships that only form through shared hard work and chaos.

The conversation shifts into deeper territory as Dalen talks about his time in the Navy, deployments overseas, and how losing his father reshaped his priorities around work, life, and time. Joel opens up about relationships, independence, and finding peace in a simpler, more solitary lifestyle—while still catching heat from the group in classic fashion.

From CNC machines, lasers, and starting your own business to debates about digital ownership, subscriptions, physical media, homesteading, van life, and whether society is drifting too far from tangible reality, the episode balances laughs with thoughtful commentary. The guys even dip into conspiracies, mythology, and questions about the future, all while keeping the tone raw, honest, and unapologetically real.

This is a laid-back, porch-talk style episode about blue-collar roots, brotherhood, changing priorities, and figuring out what actually matters as life moves forward.
