  • Grocery Episode

    Texan here! HEB is hands down the best grocery store there is! I travel often for work to cities that have Publix and I’d say it’s a close 2nd. HEB is clean, often times their own brand is better than the name brand, and just always the best all around! Next time y’all are in Texas, stop in one… you won’t be disappointed!

  • How to destroy something in under ten weeks

    Omg. It’s like watching animals eating their young.

    Aaron, stop talking constantly. You are not in control. You are 3rd on the totem.

    Dusty, ignore the Weber grill, and be funny off Bryan.

    Breakfast, you are the producer and show runner. Act like it.
