Margined Mallet 56:35

56:35

Overview Is masonry a trade, a craft, or an art? After our conversation with Matthew Nunn, we’re firmly in the camp that it’s a blend of all three. Matt is a natural stone mason with over a decade of experience as a landscaper, hardscaper, and stone mason based in the New England area. Everyday he works with the locally-sourced stone to craft walls, stairs, paths, and outdoor environments that pay tribute to those built hundreds (sometimes even thousands) of years ago. On this episode, Matt and Bucket Talk host, Jeremy Perkins, discuss the old-school masonry trade, the process of building a moon gate, whether the Egyptian pyramids were built by aliens, and so much more. You don’t need a time machine or a history book for this episode, but we’re going to be diving into an ancient trade with centuries of backstory so buckle up. About From the Roman colosseum to the Egyptian pyramids to the Mayan temples, Matthew Nunn looks to the ancient stone masters for his everyday inspiration. As a natural stone mason based in New England, Matt uses old-school techniques to craft walls, stairs, paths, and outdoor environments out of locally sourced stone found in nearby farms and forests. He got his start in the trade after deciding to leave college after two years as a history major. Matt wanted to build something of his own, and he was heavily influenced by what he was learning in class and the historic dry stone walls he grew up around in Connecticut. To him, masonry is both an everyday trade and a dying art—it’s being seen as a luxury instead of necessity—so it takes a sharp eye for detail and a dedication to the traditional craft in order to keep it going in today’s society. Lucky for all of us, we’ve got guys like Matt.…

He and Bucket Talk host, Jeremy Perkins, talk about how he got into bull riding, the tight knit community of riders, his training regimen, what the future holds after his bull riding career, and all the ins and outs of being a PBR rider. We’re not only excited to have Austin on the pod, but we’re pumped to have him repping the BRUNT name on his gear—tune in to hear his story and dive into the world of professional bull riding. About Most kids by the age of 13 are riding bikes and skateboards, but by then, our guy Austin Richardson was already taking on some of the toughest bulls in the world. Growing up outside of Dallas, he and his buddies got a shot at bull riding at an early age, and Austin showed he was natural from his very first ride. By 16 Austin was all in on bull riding and decided that he wanted to go pro. Luckily, he didn’t have to wait long, because at only 18 Austin got his PBR card and began competing on the biggest stages in the sport. Since then he’s become one of the most competitive riders in PBR, and he’s been a BRUNT-sponsored athlete for the last couple seasons. This year he was #1 in the world before a season-ending injury, but Austin’s recovery has gone according to plan and he’s on-track to be at full strength for next season.

Overview Our guy Dustin puts new meaning behind the old phrase “pull yourself up by your bootstraps”. Since the day he started walking, Dustin “Battle Ax” Jones has been grinding to set himself up for success.

On this episode, Dustin sits down with Bucket Talk host, Jeremy Perkins, to chat about his journey in the trades, his career as a professional racer, and how he still has the grit and strength to tackle every day like it’s his last. You won’t need any coffee after listening to this episode—it’ll have you ready to run through a brick wall. About From growing up on a farm in Louisiana to hoisting massive trophies on the biggest stages in dirt racing, Dustin Jones is proof that if you work your ass off, good things will come. As a kid, Dustin would help his father on their family farm for 14+ hours a day, and developed a serious work ethic that would translate across everything he did as an adult. After graduating with honors from Louisiana Tech with a mechanical engineering degree, Dustin got a well-paying job at an engineering firm—but it just wasn’t what he wanted his career to be. He got an opportunity to help start a UTV and side-by-side shop and never looked back. That company grew into S3 Power Sports and is one of the biggest repair, distribution, and customization shops in the country. Through his work with S3, Dustin got into racing UTVs and found out pretty quickly that he was wicked good. His determination and drive to be the best got him sponsorships from major brands like Monster Energy, Can-Am, and Fox—all while still running and operating S3.

He and Bucket Talk host, Jeremy Perkins, chat about how Don got in the game, some of the craziest dives he’s ever gone on, what it’s like to be on a Discovery Channel’s Sewer Divers , and everything in between. Only Don can really do his story justice, so tune in and hear it from the man himself. About Between hunting for mammoth bones in the East River, having a show on Discovery Channel, and creating some of the best content on the internet, Donald Gann is no ordinary underwater welder. His path to being one of (if not the ) most famous underwater welders in the country started a couple decades back with a simple google search: what are the most dangerous jobs in America? Underwater welding popped up, and Don was all in. A lot of people would get claustrophobic and panicky down in the depths where he works, but his heart rate stays steady at 68 beats per minute no matter how bad the current is or how brutal the conditions are.

He shares his thoughts on the state of farm-to-table businesses, what it takes to operate both small and large-scale farms, and what it means to be a farmer working on the same plot of land as his ancestors.” If you’ve ever had the thought “Man, it’d be awesome to own a farm one day” this episode is a must-listen.
