Steve and Kyle go dumpster diving to salvage a neighbor's discarded power wheel for Steve's son.

The episode opens with ads for National Debt Relief, GoldBelly, and Avocado Mattress. Steve and Kyle then reminisce about past episodes, noting their 10th anniversary is approaching. They dive into a story about investigating a neighbor's dumpster to retrieve a discarded power wheel, recording the adventure for social media. After pulling out the broken MX Rock Roller, they research it online and find poor reviews about missing parts and battery issues. Steve considers salvaging it for his son Nikki B. The conversation shifts to Steve's DIY plans for the year, including a project to dump crushed stone in his driveway using a rented backhoe, which Kyle declines to help with. Steve then recounts a recent family trip to Chicago, detailing visits to the Willis Tower, American Girl Doll store, aquarium, and a rushed attempt to see the Museum of Science and Industry, which they missed due to timing issues. He expresses guilt over failing to let his kids experience the submarine exhibit. Later, the hosts promote an upcoming karaoke night organized by listeners Chris Pruitt and Timmy on April 24th in Grand Rapids, Michigan, before their live show. They joke about Steve's hair growth and potential wig-making. The episode wraps with mentions of social media posts and future updates on the power wheel.
