Dustin and John have a working barbecue scrubber. They've patented it. And in November 2024, they finally start assembling it in batches. And once you have all the parts, where does the thing get assembled into one thing?

It depicts some of the most adorable child labor you've ever seen. Destin's young son in one corner of the warehouse, boxing up scrubbers.

A short distance away, John's teenagers are also working. They're sitting down tying on tags and putting American flag stickers on the barbecue scrubbers.

It's funny seeing these American teenagers on an assembly line instead of, I don't know, playing Fortnite. They look maybe a little bored, but they're being good sports.

So Destin has the product he's stubbornly insisted on, a barbecue scrubber that was both made and assembled in America. We're going to take a short break and then come back to the final part of our question. Will anybody really buy this thing? Welcome back to the show. Destin and I met up late this January. He was visiting New York, and he came by the studio.

The smarter scrubber. Destin and John are selling it direct for $59.99, which is expensive. You can buy a much cheaper wire scrubber on Amazon for $19.99, made in China. Although in Destin's sales pitch, he'll tell you that that one will probably break in a couple years, and it might leave metal wires in your stomach before it does. Will people pay for the smarter scrubber?
