Don't miss
Ken accidentally summons the wrong Jace to help with a crane, yet the unrelated contact still shows up to move a camper.
The brief
The conversation opens with Micah’s impulsive car purchase, then spirals through broken iPhones, Verizon account problems, and speculation about satellite-based cellular service.
Hunting stories supply the episode’s most suspenseful stretch: Alvin describes a 625-yard elk shot and the difficult search through dense mountain brush, while CJ tests thermal gear for coyotes.
Micah reveals he bought a Porsche 928 for roughly $1,200 during a Whatnot auction, prompting questions about its condition, its value, and the logistics of getting it from California.
Tesla’s rocket-assisted Roadster shifts the discussion toward price, safety, legality, customer deposits, and the broader question of whether futuristic technology solves problems or creates new ones.
The closing construction story delivers the clearest comic payoff: Ken texts the wrong Jace about a crane, and the unrelated recipient still travels to help move a camper.
