- Episode title Deep Purple Heart came from listener Lee Drummond of Dusted Knuckle Woodworks who suggested awesome band name wood species combinations and this one was absolutely perfect
- Colton spotted his neighbor Mo using a completely insane setup with a table saw blade mounted on a weed eater edger attachment which screams OSHA violation but apparently works great for cutting small trees

- The guys shared practical moving tips including getting a 26 foot box truck with a lift gate and hiring cleaners for 225 bucks to do a full deep clean instead of doing it yourself
- Ross is completely buried working on a massive CNC project that turned into 14 hours of machine time instead of the expected 4 hours plus designing a complex tulip style table base inspired by his son playing with dinosaur puzzles
