Lots of good stuff coming on this episode. My name's Ryan Bailey. Hi, Taylor Rockwell. Hi, Ryan Bailey. How's your Saturday morning going? You got big plans today? You're going to do Home Depot? Yeah. That's be on if you have time. Last weekend, Taylor, I did four runs to Lowe's for cars full of mulch, and I still have more to do on this Saturday. Goodness me. Did you put the mulch in the car? Please tell what you did me. Oh, I should have done that. I just put it on the hood. For your Tesla's sake, please tell me. You would have fit so much more if you just empty the bags into the car, Ryan. Don't it, you're right. You're right. I know our Discord is going to immediately respond with like, oh, you don't have the mulch theorem that tells you the exact amount of mulch you need. But I'm going to say this, Ryan, you could buy 10,000 bags of mulch. It won't matter. It still won't be enough. That's the law of mulch. You will still always need more, no matter how much you get. Yeah, it comes in bags.

That makes me feel better.

This is a new concept to me, mulch.

I don't know what the British equivalent of it is, but I'm envisaging Ryan, like, shoveling it into his car, and then he's head out the sunroof as he's driving.

Yeah, that's what he was going.

You guys put a fork in hand in the Lowes Isle, just getting after it. Graham, you guys call most tidily whittlies, right?

That's right.

Yeah.

It's woody bits, I believe, is what they call. Oh, Woody Bits. Right. Right. And the flipside, Graham. A playground, Graham, that kind of thing. And you can get them in bags. The flip side is you can also have like a larger company come and just drop off like however many tons you need.

And that is the flip side is you can also have, like, a larger company come and just drop off, like, however many tons you need. And that is the flip side of the equation. That will always be too much. And now you have a giant amount of mulch in your driveway that you have to just, like, disperse to the neighbors and whatnot. And be like, who needs mulch? These are new clued mulch.

I got to find a way to use it all.

Exactly.

But I do enjoy the process of going to the aforementioned garden center.

I don't know what you call that in American.

But they load the mulch into the car for you.

And it's always that sort of dance of, I don't know if you're supposed to tip the mulch guy at Lowe's.

And if so, is it 20%?
