The LOTS Project Morning Show

The cabin finally got its first metal on this week… which should have been the big story.

Instead, progress got sidelined by literal cannon fire because apparently that’s a normal sentence in Tennessee.

In this episode, Brian breaks down the first round of siding installation, mistakes and lessons learned with the metal, unexpected trim issues, and why the new trail-clearing setup may be one of the best property-management upgrades yet.

The cabin didn’t move forward this week—and not for any of the reasons you’d expect.

A simple mistake stalled the build, which turned into one of those weeks where you realize how fragile progress actually is.

At the same time, I had one of the best customer service experiences I’ve had in years… which shouldn’t be rare, but somehow is.

And then there’s the bigger question:

We’re spending billions to go back to the moon.

Why?

We get into all of it—plus some...

The cabin took another step forward this week. Metal is ordered. That should feel like a clean win, except the water tank deal disappeared almost immediately, so now the plan shifts again.

From there, this episode goes where it naturally had to go: Flock cameras, license plate readers, AI policing, and why people should stop pretending these systems only get used on the “right” targets. The story about the Tennessee woman jailed over bad facial recognition makes that point better than any slogan ever could.

Then it shifts into oil, gas prices, and the cost of a...

This episode has a common theme, even if it doesn’t look like it at first.

The cabin is moving forward, but in the least glamorous way possible—door installs, bad hardware out of the box, measuring trim, planning metal, figuring tank pads, and trying to think three steps ahead so today’s shortcut doesn’t become tomorrow’s headache. It’s the kind of progress that doesn’t photograph well but matters.

Then there’s the sudden return of military recruitment commercials. Same old pitch, slightly updated wrapper, and suspicious timing. I get into what we noticed...

The deck is done. The storms are here. And somehow the news cycle got even dumber.

In this episode, I talk through the latest cabin progress after finally finishing the back deck, stairs, and railing, including the mistakes that will probably annoy me every time I look at it. I also get into what Tennessee spring weather feels like when you’re living in a camper, tornado warnings are rolling through, and the official “solutions” don’t really fit real life.

Then I get into the bigger stuff: Iran, sleeper cells, false flags, government distrust, rising g...

This week the cabin actually moved forward, which felt nice for a change.

I get into the deck progress, the next steps on the build, and why Kori and I finally pulled the trigger on a trailer after getting tired of fighting material runs, deliveries, borrowed equipment, and general project friction. It should make future work a whole lot easier — assuming I can get the driveway situation sorted out.

I also talk about spring finally starting to show up here in Tennessee, potting up cuttings for friends, what that means for the workload ahead, comfrey se...

This one’s three threads that all connect in the same annoying way: systems break… and you either adapt or pay later.

First: cabin update. We knocked out all 10 windows, built shallow stairs for big dogs and bad hips, and I learned (again) that battery tools have feelings… and those feelings are “nope.” Bonus: I’m officially done buying lumber at Lowe’s.

Second: Bitcoin for normal people. If you’ve been stacking sats in small buys and sending them to a wallet like you’re being responsible — cool. But that creates a problem most people don’t learn a...

In Episode 876 of The LOTS Project Morning Show, Brian checks in with real-world progress (cabin work), real-world costs (a surprise tariff bill), and the real-world circus (aliens/UAPs hitting the headlines again right when other stories get spicy).

In Episode 875 of The LOTS Project Morning Show (Feb 16, 2026):

Brian shares progress on the Tennessee cabin build after weather delays, including window installs and deck planning. Then we break down the Ring Super Bowl commercial and what it signals about AI surveillance, neighborhood camera networks, and cloud-linked monitoring systems.

We also talk about:

In Episode 874 of The LOTS Project Morning Show (2/9/2026), Brian breaks down the real-world aftermath of the ice storm at the cabin property (including minor solar panel damage), explains why federal disaster rules can accidentally kill local cleanup side hustles, reviews the Imalent GR35 PE flashlight (white light + green laser + UV), and closes with the latest round of Epstein file chaos—and why it’s starting to feel like endless rage-bait.

Episode 873 is a real-world breakdown of riding out a West Tennessee ice storm while living in an RV—what Brian did to prep, what failed (hello, cracked hoses), what worked (water storage, propane generator strategy, comms), and what changes he’s planning before the next storm—especially with the cabin/property plans in mind.

He also opens with quick commentary on the recent Bitcoin drop and silver pullback, and restarts the Telegram Bitcoin guessing game.

The episode also includes:

Episode 871 kicks off with a cabin build update after a weekend of bad weather, mud, and making progress anyway — plus the reality of juggling two-person build tasks when life and work schedules get in the way.

Then we get into a local small-town story: a gas station attempted break-in that blew up across every Facebook group in the region… and ended with three suspects apprehended — all minors. The wild part? One of them showed up with a rifle.

From there, Minnesota keeps doing Minnesota: protests, outrage cycles, and people watching the same footage and somehow arrivi...

Episode 870 opens the new year with a full cabin progress update after a strong week on site, followed by a deep dive into the sudden U.S. military action in Venezuela and what it signals geopolitically. The episode also revisits the Minnesota Somali daycare fraud case — a story that exploded briefly before disappearing from the news cycle.

Along the way, Brian covers Bitcoin price action, silver market oddities, and why “seeing is believing” no longer applies in the age of AI-generated narratives.

No scripts. No filters. Just real commentary.

After finally getting the long-awaited cabin material delivery, life took a sharp turn when my father passed away.
