149 - Bots, bottlenecks, and busted sanders

Justin returns from a family funeral pondering purpose while Jem hobbles with mystery arthritis. Sales roller-coasters, quoting scripts, and busted sanders spark shop talk. Justin battles a sketchy dust-boot customer, they rant about phone addiction, AI helpers, cramped shop plans, and chasing that elusive revenue double.
