The bathroom plan adds a soaker tub, heated floors, a heated towel rack, a bidet, and a heated toilet seat.

Tony and Corey open the show on Mother's Day ideas. Built by Par Lumber, the conversation stays centered on practical projects and small gestures a Weekend Warrior could use to make the day feel a little more special. They note that there are lots of different moms and lots of different things moms value, so they split the ideas into a few categories instead of pretending one gift fits everybody. The trendy mom gets the first mention. Tony jokes that his wife fits that label, which keeps the tone light while they move toward ideas that feel current without getting fussy. They also bring up the outdoor mom and say those kinds of moms would likely appreciate the suggestions. The culinary mom gets a longer stretch, and they even joke about whether a selfie with Gordon Ramsay would count as the perfect gift for someone who likes to cook. The hosts talk about a hidden spice rack Tony and Corey built for Tony's mom, using the empty space on either side of the stove for sliding storage. At first it looks like a filler panel. Then you push it and it pops out to reveal spice racks on both sides. They say Tony's mom loves it. From there the discussion turns to pantry organization. Corey points out that a pantry can get cluttered and end up holding forgotten items if nobody keeps after it, so a cleanup can be a genuine favor. Pull-out shelves come up next. The idea is simple: make the shelf act more like a drawer so the stuff in the back is easier to reach and easier to put away. That keeps the show rooted in everyday use rather than decorative upgrades. The hosts keep circling back to the same practical logic: a good Mother's Day project should solve a real annoyance and not create a bigger one. The show closes with a straightforward wish for moms to have an amazing day and a reminder that a call, a visit, or a small home fix can all count. It leaves listeners with a short list of workable ideas and a pretty clear sense of which ones feel thoughtful instead of performative.
