Jamie is joined by Jensen, an activist who was on the ground for the most intense portion of the anti-ICE actions at the Delaney Hall detention facility in Newark, NJ. They discuss the history of the privately-run GEO group facility and how it developed to this point of crisis. What tactics were used by prisoners inside the facility and protesters outside, and what limits did they come up against? The feckless behavior of local Democrats like Newark mayor Ras Baraka. The implications of state repression. And why is migrant defense a strategic area for revolutionaries to intervene in?

Across the United States, industries are grappling with a skilled labor shortage. According to industry research, millions of trade jobs are expected to go unfilled in the coming years as experienced workers retire faster than new ones enter the field. At the same time, trade school enrollment has steadily increased. The conversation around skilled trades—once overlooked—is returning to center stage as industries work to rebuild the workforce that literally keeps the world running.But awareness alone isn't enough. If the next generation doesn't see the trades up close, who will carry the craft forward?That's the central question explored in this episode of Straight Outta Crumpton, where host Greg Crumpton sits down with Ken Landin, Chief Operating Officer of KL Drywall. Their conversation dives into the value of mentorship, the evolving perception of trade careers, and why experienced professionals must step up to guide the next generation of craftsmen.Together, they discuss Landin's decades-long career in drywall finishing, his journey from construction sites in Queens to running his own business, and how he's now using education and social media to inspire young people to consider the trades.What you'll learn…Why generations were pushed toward college—and how skilled trades were left behind.Why mentorship—from parents, instructors, and experienced tradespeople—is critical to rebuilding the workforce.How digital platforms like YouTube can help introduce young people to hands-on trades and practical skills.Ken Landin is a longtime trade professional and business leader who has served as Chief Operating Officer of KL Drywall Inc. since 1989, leading a sheetrock and taping company with decades of hands-on industry experience. He also founded and operated Crossroads Brewing Company locations in Athens and Catskill, building production and hospitality teams through major business cycles and transitions. Today, he mentors professionals and shares trade knowledge through his online teaching platform Drywall with Kenny, where he provides practical instruction and insights on craftsmanship, leadership, and sustainable success.

Thursday, June 11, 2026Josh is back in studio with Brock for another full morning of best-friend chaos, and the trending thread is all about the best and worst summer jobs people have ever had. Josh shares that working at Kwik Trip was one of his easier jobs, while his worst summer job was helping with drywall and insulation for his uncle's construction company—complete with itchy pink insulation that would not come off no matter how many showers he took.Listeners chime in with everything from cutting grass while allergic to pollen, working restaurant dish pits, doing construction in Norway, cleaning up awful maintenance jobs, working as a dockhand at a marina, caddying on the LPGA Tour, and even teaching juggling at summer camp. Brock also shares that his worst job was working at McDonald's for a month just to pay off a speeding ticket.The show gets into plenty of “What the Heck” stories, including police in Washington using new translation tech to communicate across 50 languages, FIFA banning vuvuzelas from the World Cup, and two guys in Los Angeles filming themselves hitting golf balls into traffic and buildings downtown like complete idiots.Brock and Josh also test how old they are with classic commercial jingles from Folgers, Band-Aid, Oscar Mayer, and Alka-Seltzer, then roll through random facts about moonwalking astronauts, the worst-rated beers in the world, laughter burning calories, Wyoming's tallest building, and the very strange sound effects used for the raptors in Jurassic Park.In the 7 AM Challenge, Josh plays a “what do these have in common?” game and manages to figure out clues involving wagons, weeds, pranks, flags, gardens, bowling alleys, and the oldest jewelry store in the United States. Later, the guys talk about Taylor Swift performing at the Toy Story 5 premiere with Randy Newman, her rumored bridesmaids, and Tom Hanks joking about colonoscopy prep competitions with Martin Short and Steve Martin.The episode also includes a good news story about a Canadian woman helping save her neighbor's life with CPR after his 12-year-old son came to her door for help. Brock and Josh then talk basketball, sore legs, backwards beach days, phrases people say wrong, celebrity gossip, Matt Damon becoming “Nomad” for charity, Supergirl's pierced ears, Machine Gun Kelly's tattoo regret, tiny towns, World Cup events in Northwest Arkansas, and things professionals should never say.The show wraps with Josh finishing out another morning in studio, plans for the lake, Suno songs, breakup-song talk, Olivia Rodrigo comparisons, and one last push for everyone to go buy some furniture at Sam's.

In Joy and Happiness, guest speaker Andy Arscott explores the difference between temporary happiness and the eternal joy found in Christ. Speaking from Philippians 4, Andy challenges us to move beyond “spectator Christianity” and into a life of active service and deep-rooted peace. Andy talks about Building the “Drywall” Church: Using the imagery of dry stone walling, Andy emphasises that every person is a “living stone” with a unique shape. A healthy church isn’t built by a few leaders, but by everyone finding their place, joining home groups, and “feeding the sheep” through acts of love and service. Joy vs. Happiness: Andy breaks down why the Nordic countries often top the “happiness” charts, but notes that biblical joy is different. Happiness depends on circumstances (money, status, health), but Joy abides. It is a byproduct of our connection to God and our secure salvation. The Power of Perspective: “Life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I respond to it.” Andy shares about the loss of his wife and how the “wells of salvation” provided strength and joy even in the midst of deep grief. Anxiety as the “Rust of Life”: Addressing Paul's command to “not be anxious,” Andy reminds us that anxiety is often a battle of faith. He provides a framework for joy as a settled assurance that God is in control, He is working all things for good, and our future is eternally secure. The post Andy Arscott: Joy and Happiness first appeared on Jubilee Church Wirral.

  Guest: Kevin Cost,  of Mudplugz In this episode, we take a slight detour from our usual industry-insider deep dives to talk with someone who found himself "smack dab in the middle" of the drywall world by sheer necessity. Kevin Cost, the mind behind Mudplugz, joins the show for his first appearance to share how a single moment of inspiration on Christmas Eve 2024 sparked a construction industry sensation. Frustrated by the eyesore of holes in the wall and the lack of a quick, professional-grade solution, Kevin asked a simple question: Why isn't there a plug for this? Just two weeks later, the wheels were in motion.  Kevin has turned that "lightbulb moment" into a product designed to bring ease and speed to the tedious task of patching drywall. What We Discuss in This Episode: The Christmas Eve Epiphany: The origin story of Mudplugz and why the simplest ideas are often the most effective. From Concept to Launch: How Kevin and his partner moved from a thought to a physical product in record time. Solving the Patching Problem: How Mudplugz is streamlining the workflow for professionals and DIYers alike by eliminating the "unsightly hole" phase of repair.

Drywall prefabrication is still in its growth phase. In this episode of Prefab, Unfiltered, recorded live at Advancing Prefabrication, Todd Weyandt sits down with Kiryl Turbal to explore how drywall prefab can scale through tighter BIM workflows, better coordination, and a value stream mindset. While electrical and mechanical trades have matured in prefabrication, drywall remains an evolving space. Success depends on treating prefab operations as strategic value streams, aligning design and field teams earlier, and acknowledging the real time required for coordination. This conversation dives into BIM-to-fabrication workflows, communication gaps between modelers and foremen, the role of repetition in building maturity, and how AI and data security may influence future drywall prefab operations. If you are involved in prefabrication, drywall construction, BIM coordination, modular construction, or industrialized building strategies, this episode offers practical insight into scaling an emerging prefab trade.   You'll Learn Why drywall prefabrication requires a value stream mindset How BIM-to-fabrication workflows can improve drywall productivity Why coordination takes longer than most schedules allow The communication gaps between modelers and field crews How repetition and documented lessons drive prefab maturity Where drywall prefab stands compared to electrical and mechanical trades   Meet Our Guest Kiryl Turbal is Prefabrication Project Manager at TG McCorkney, where he focuses on drywall prefabrication and BIM-driven construction workflows. With a background in structural engineering and more than a decade in design, he brings technical rigor and process discipline to prefab operations. His work centers on improving coordination, tightening BIM-to-fabrication processes, and building scalable workflows that support drywall prefab growth.   Todd Takes Treat Prefabrication as a Value Stream, Not a Cost Center. Prefab operations should be measured by throughput and value creation, not overhead. When leadership treats drywall prefab as strategic, scale becomes possible. Coordination Always Takes Longer Than We Admit. BIM-to-fabrication workflows require time and discipline. When coordination is compressed unrealistically, friction follows. Prefab maturity requires honest scheduling. Repetition Builds Maturity. Drywall prefabrication is still evolving. Capturing lessons learned and standardizing workflows creates repeatability and long-term scale.   More Resources   Thanks for listening!

DEATH BY DRYWALL Season 2, Episode 4 A podcast about architecture, materials, and the buildings we actually live inside.   Episode Summary Drywall is everywhere. It's in almost every wall of every home built in America in the last 60 years. But how did it get there — and is it actually the best we can do? This episode traces the full arc of drywall's history: from the pre-industrial craft of lath and plaster, through the wartime shortcuts that gave rise to gypsum board, to the environmental and health questions we're only now starting to take seriously. We also look at traditional wall systems from Japan — built from bamboo, rope, earthen plaster, and lime — that outperform modern drywall on almost every meaningful measure. And we close with a bigger question: why do we accept a lower standard of quality in our walls than we do in almost every other part of our lives?     What We Cover •       The ancient techniques drywall replaced and why they were better in many ways •       Japanese tsuchikabe wall systems: bamboo lattice, rice-straw rope, earthen plaster, and lime finish / walls that breathe, flex, and last centuries •       Augustine Sackett's 1894 invention and how U.S. Gypsum turned it into the default building material •       The four forces that drove drywall adoption: wartime labor shortages, mass housing demand, industrial standardization, and fire-resistance marketing •       What drywall is actually made of:  calcined gypsum, paper facing, starch binders, foaming agents, biocides, and chemical modifiers •       Why drywall fails: moisture absorption, mold, fragility, poor acoustics, and limited lifespan •       The environmental profile of gypsum board production: energy use, landfill waste, and hydrogen sulfide off-gassing •       Alternatives gaining traction: rammed earth, compressed earth block, lime plaster, hemp-lime, and wood fiber panels •       The quality question: why we demand quality in food, clothes, and cars  BUT NOT IN THE WALLS SURROUNDING US (???) In our homes????   Key Takeaway "Drywall didn't replace inferior systems. It replaced better ones because it was faster and cheaper."   Before paper-faced gypsum board, builders across cultures constructed walls from bamboo, rope, earth, and lime.  These materials managed humidity, flexed under seismic stress, and lasted generations. The Japanese tsuchikabe wall system is a working example of what we traded away for construction speed. Drywall solved an industrial problem. It was never designed to solve a human one.     The Quality Question We've learned to look deeper in almost every other domain. We ask where our food comes from. We think about the fibers in our clothes. We care about the engineering in our cars. But inside the very structure that surrounds us every day, we routinely accept the lowest common denominator.   The wall is one of the largest material surfaces in a home. It defines how a building manages moisture, sound, air quality, and durability. As architecture moves toward healthier, longer-lasting building systems, the question isn't whether drywall is cheap and convenient - it clearly is. The real question is whether we're willing to apply the same standard of quality to our buildings that we already expect everywhere else.     Go Deeper — Further Reading   The History of Drywall (Wikipedia) A solid overview of drywall's origins, manufacturing process, and fire-resistance properties. → en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drywall   Augustine Sackett — National Inventors Hall of Fame The story of the man who invented Sackett Board in 1894 — the direct precursor to every sheet of drywall installed today. → invent.org/inductees/augustine-sackett   Drywall: EWG Healthy Living Home Guide A detailed breakdown of what's actually in drywall and joint compound — including biocides, formaldehyde, crystalline silica, and synthetic gypsum made from coal plant waste. → ewg.org/healthyhomeguide/drywall   A Brief History of Drywall — Hackaday A concise and readable account of how drywall went from wartime shortcut to universal construction default. → hackaday.com — Brief History of Drywall     If you found this episode useful, share it with someone building, renovating, or thinking about what's actually inside their walls.     AK links: Four D Design – Organic Architecture www.fourddesign.com Star Tile – Fractal Ceramics www.star-tile.com Star Tile Studio - Joshua Tree, CA https://g.co/kgs/DUMmCLh   Contact: ak@fourddesign.com

I'm excited to introduce Episode 160 of The Drywall Podcast. This week, we're sitting down with a true powerhouse in the industry: Stefano Zanchi of On Board Drywall. Stefano is the embodiment of the "never say die" spirit. He walked away from the trade once—literally leaving his boots and hardhat behind with a sign that read "Hasta La Vista"—to try his hand at banking. But the corporate grind couldn't contain his drive, and it ultimately pushed him to return and build the successful business he runs today. We dive deep into his journey, his "clean and concise" social media strategy, and how he turned a setback into a massive comeback.

Get ready for some serious drywall drama as Eric G and John Dudley sit down with Ted Speers from The Patch Boys. We're diving right into the nitty-gritty of drywall repair and why finding a trustworthy contractor is like hunting for a unicorn in a haystack. Ted spills the beans on the art and science of drywalling, and how DIY attempts often end in a “what have I done?!” panic. We'll also explore the unique challenges of dealing with textures, the absurdities of home repairs, and why sometimes it's better to just call in the pros before your walls start looking like a Picasso painting gone wrong. So grab your headphones and let's patch things up, because we're about to make drywalling fun—yes, you heard that right! When it comes to drywall, everyone thinks they can tackle it, right? I mean, how hard can it be? Just slap up some sheets, tape it, mud it, and voilà! Spoiler alert: it's not that simple. In this jam-packed episode of Around the House, Eric G and John Dudley welcome Ted Speers from The Patch Boys to discuss the ins and outs of drywall repair. We dive deep into the common misconceptions about DIY drywall projects. Ted shares hilarious anecdotes about all the brave souls who attempt to fix their drywall issues only to end up in a mess that even Picasso would be jealous of.

The guys dissect the art versus science of drywall, emphasizing the skill and finesse required to achieve that perfect finish. You might not think it, but matching textures and dealing with the dreaded popcorn ceiling is an art form that takes years to master. So buckle up, grab a snack, and get ready to learn why hiring a professional might just save you from a world of drywall woe. Let's be real – nobody loves dealing with drywall unless you're Ted, who practically oozes passion for it. In our latest chat, Ted lays down the law about why you should never trust a handyman who claims to be a drywall expert. Sure, they might know how to fix your leaky sink, but once they get their hands on drywall, it's a whole different ballgame. The trio explores the importance of hiring qualified professionals for drywall work, especially after plumbing disasters. Ted gives us the lowdown on how many of his jobs stem from botched DIY attempts or haphazard handyman work. With a chuckle, he explains how the majority of his customers are those do-it-yourselfers who thought they could save a few bucks and ended up creating a drywall horror story. We also touch on the critical aspect of customer service in the contracting world. Ted discusses how The Patch Boys prioritize cleanliness and customer experience on every job, ensuring that clients feel valued and respected. Spoiler alert: it's not just about fixing walls; it's about building relationships. If you think drywall is just about slapping up some boards, think again! This episode takes you on a wild ride through the world of drywall with Ted Speers from The Patch Boys. Eric G and John Dudley get right into it, tackling everything from the absurdities of DIY projects to the fine art of matching textures. Seriously, it's like trying to get a cat to take a bath – nearly impossible unless you know what you're doing! Ted shares his insights on the challenges faced by homeowners and the importance of hiring skilled professionals to avoid the pitfalls of DIY disasters. From addressing water leaks to the complexities of texture matching, this episode is a treasure trove of tips and tricks for anyone looking to navigate the often confusing realm of drywall repair.

Instead of buying equipment or hiring crews, Jared established a powerful model: acting as an account manager and commissioned salesman for his brother's company, Canvas drywall, earning a 50% split of the net profit.He breaks down how he uses Construction Monitor to source high-end custom homes and reveals his secret method for closing deals at three times the average rate. This strategy involves doing things that don't scale, namely, showing up in person to measure jobs, which allows him to build immediate trust with the home builder.We also discuss why he views this successful venture as a stepping stone and how leveraging your unfair advantage is crucial for entrepreneurial success.Questions This Episode Answers:How can you achieve $1.7 million in revenue with no experience in a trade industry?What is the simple sales secret sauce that leads to a 3x closing rate in construction?How do you find and approach high-quality, high-margin construction leads for new builds?What is a fair net profit split when selling and managing fulfillment for a service business partner?How does focusing on good fulfillment immediately create recurring revenue in the contracting world?__________________________Love it or hate it, I'd love your feedback.Please fill out this brief survey with your opinion or email me at nik@cofounders.com with your thoughts.__________________________MY NEWSLETTER: https://nikolas-newsletter-241a64.beehiiv.com/subscribeSpotify: https://tinyurl.com/5avyu98yApple: https://tinyurl.com/bdxbr284YouTube: https://tinyurl.com/nikonomicsYT__________________________This week we covered:00:00 – Intro: From teacher to $1.7M drywall business00:42 – What is a drywall business & how Jared earns 50% profit02:30 – Leaving teaching to build financial freedom05:40 – Early side hustles before launching drywall07:05 – How the drywall model works with almost no labor08:10 – Finding high-end clients through construction permits10:30 – Cold-calling builders & landing first deals12:55 – Managing projects and understanding the 50/50 split15:15 – Using drywall as a stepping stone to bigger goals22:30 – Prepping for launch & funding startup with Christmas lights27:15 – Tracking leads manually and learning sales discipline29:20 – Secret to closing 3x more deals: meeting clients on-site39:10 – Final lesson: Find your unfair advantage and start

Eli has a special super power.  It's the constant inspiration he's received from his father after having lost his leg in a car accident.  We talk about that and how his father continues to work despite his injury.  We also discuss how Eli has faced his fears in recent days and has conjured up the courage to put himself out there on social media.  We also discuss training "the new guy" and how that experience has helped him grow also.  I love having younger people on the show and Eli certainly falls into that category at just 23 years of age.  This is a good one and I know you're going to like it.   This episode of The Drywall Podcast is brought to you by Muddskip.  You can find out more information about Muddskip by visiting www.muddskip.com

Derrick is one of those guests that is just plain easy to talk to.  The conversation flows and he's also extremely knowledgeable about drywall and the tools we use to accomplish drywall.  He's the owner of East Coast Drywall Tools and they specialize in selling tools and repairing tools.  We talk about Derrick coming up in the trade working for his father's company Wilko back in the day and how he's always had a fascination with fixing and just being around the tools.  In his spare time he collects antique tools and knows just about everyone in the industry.  This is Derricks second appearance on the show and I hope it isn't his last.  Sit back and enjoy a journey into the world of automatic tools on this, the 147th, episode of The Drywall Podcast.   This episode and all the episodes in the month of September are brought to you by East Coast Drywall Tools.  Find out more by visiting their website at www.eastcoastdrywall.com

I had the pleasure of meeting Brandon at the AWCI Build 25 show this year and I liked him right away.  I've been wanting to get him on the podcast for a while now.  In this episode we talk about how he followed in his father's footsteps and why transitioning to the automatic tools was different than his dad but suited him better.  We talk a little about Fresco Harmony and his biggest take away from the Build 25 show.  Brandon is a great guy and I know you'll feel the same way I do after listening to this, the 145th, episode of The Drywall Podcast.

Drywall is one of the most commonly used materials in construction — and one of the most wasteful. It's estimated that more than 10 percent of drywall from new buildings end up in landfills. The material can release harmful gasses, such as hydrogen sulfide, and act as a potential contaminant for groundwater. But two architecture professors at Washington State University’s School of Design and Construction have developed a way to turn this waste into something useful.   Taiji Miyasaka and David Drake have spent years developing and patenting a process to transform drywall scraps into usable building blocks — a substitute for bricks — and fire-resistant wall panels that are both known as Drywall Waste Technology. Made with up to 90 percent drywall waste, WSU estimates that excess material from just 16 new homes could produce enough DWT material to build one tiny home. Miyasaka and Drake’s products have earned international acclaim, winning the AZ Award for Environmental Leadership in Azure magazine’s global design competition.   David Drake joins us to explain how this technology could be a resource in addressing both housing shortages and construction waste.
