Episode Details

Kevin Hackett and Craig Williams recorded this one earlier in the day than usual because Craig has a trip coming up. They open with the new website and the newsletter signup at the bottom of the homepage, which emails you the links every time a new episode and the shorts go out, then spend a while on the college football weekend. Kentucky beating A&M 31 to 21 at Kyle Field, whether Marcel has already peaked, the offensive coordinator change after Collin Klein left for Kansas, and a running game that was working until they stopped using it. They also cover Ole Miss over LSU, Trinidad Chambliss, and the Texas Tech and Houston game that came down to a two point conversion the two of them still disagree about.
The home product section is built around three things Craig has been using. First, a small rechargeable air gun with a brush attachment, an inflator attachment, three speeds and a USB-C charge, about $35 on Amazon, bought mainly to blow dust off studio gear. Second, the Euhomy ice maker installed at the guest house. It is about the size of a dishwasher, makes 100 pounds of ice a day and holds roughly 30 pounds in the bin, and Craig paid $252 on sale. He hooked it to the old washing machine cold water supply. The two warnings are worth hearing before you buy one. It has no drain pump, so it is gravity fed and the drain never shuts off, which means you either mount it high enough to reach a drain line or you pull the hose and empty it into a five gallon bucket. It is also not refrigerated, so once the ice is made it melts like a cooler. Craig found the lid left open before the show and the whole batch gone.
Third is the AquaTru reverse osmosis countertop filter, which the company sent them to try without paying for coverage. It removes microplastics, arsenic, lead and nitrates, the filters last about 24 months, and the water tastes good. The trade offs are the weekly hand washing of both tanks, the counter space it eats, and the capacity. It holds three quarters of a gallon and only about two thirds of what you pour into the fill tank reaches the drinking tank. Kevin looked up the under sink version at $395, which stores 1.7 gallons and makes 54 gallons a day, and they talk about who each version actually suits, including renters who do not want to plumb somebody else's house.
The last stretch is well water. A woman Craig rides with lost power in Tomball with a barn full of horses and no generator, which leads to a straightforward point: if you are on a well and you do not have a generator, you do not have water for your house, your toilets or your animals. They finish with the water rumors circulating in Texas, data centers, and where robotics and subscriptions may be headed.
