Hey!

I'm working on the next video... and I'd like to know if anyone would like to submit a little clip for me to POTENTIALLY use in the video. I don't know if it's going to work out, but I thought I would check and see what people send in to see if it's worth doing! I made a video to explain what I'm thinking, and instructions on how to join in if you're interested. Thanks for considering and THANK YOU for supporting Smarter Every Day!

Warm Regards

Destin

Great title!

William Marshall

Are these still available to buy? Bought my first house with my wife and missed the first batch of ordering!

Capitalism is a problem in a lot of ways. It forces a race to the bottom in multiple domains, to the detriment of all.

David Beier

Guess I am behind on acquiring the Scrubber!!!!

Sarah Sims

Thanks Destin! This is cool! I gave my dad the Smarter Scrubber for Father’s Day last year. He loves it! Maybe we will try to get a clip recorded for you with the Scrubber in action this year! Hope you have a great Father’s Day weekend!

Matt and Karen Dettmer

I would love to share a clip of a bear running off with my scrubber! Had to buy another!

jeremy q

I think the real issue is not capitalism but the fact that a judge handed down a ruling in the usa with “1919 dodge vs ford motor company” really insightful. The case is about how a company has to put there shareholders above their employees and customers.

David Beier

Ok. I just ordered mine!!!!

Scott Green

I got a new Recteq grill, the 825 xFire, it’s a genuinely high temp pellet smoker that can grill…anyways the grates are triangular and the scrubber just went to epic mode it’s like they designed these grates after using the Smarter Scrubber, for real. The scraper angle 📐 fits it perfectly and for single pass knocking crud off and the scrubber side meshes very well with the spaces between two grate spars. I just use a little spray bottle while I scrub and it just WORKS! I’ll try and get you a 10 sec video showing this.

That's cool to hear that the chain mail is made in Canada, as a Canadian who works in manufacturing maintenance I'm happy to hear you're keeping things in North America. Is there any plan to sell them in Canada? Shipping across the border absolutely sucks still.

Bartosz Błaszkiewicz

I'd love to help but I don't own this Scrubber. Or a grill. Or a house. And I don't live in US. But I admire your passion. And I agree (especially the recent world events have shown) capital has money, there is a value in local manufacturing which can turn into a monetary value in case of a world turmoil. Hence why I prefer polish-made products, then EU-made and US is like my fourth choice. Still preferred to China, russia etc. Although I don't support crap. Quality is more important. I once bought a polish-made bike and it was good, but I had an accident. Then I bought from a different polish company and it is crap. I once bought a very popular polish kitchen (Solgaz - you may even have heard of it) and when I moved houses I decided I'm not risking it again and bought Bosch (german).

I need to get me one of those scrubbers. Not for this video you're doing, but could be a part of your "Manufacturing in America" series: Reach out to other companies who are manufacturing in America and trying to be competitive price-wise against things manufactured in China. I'm into 3D printing and most 3D printers are manufactured in China and are very affordable. But there are companies that think it's important to build infrastructure outside of China and are making it work. Prusa's a big one, but there are other smaller business like Gloop and LukesLaberatory (lukeslabonline) that manufacture things for 3d printing in the US. They have good insights on the difficulties of staying competitive.

Greg

I hope people send some crazy stuff like showing the scrubber at a rocket launch or sky diving or a football game kickoff.

ChederCheese

It also drives competition and innovation. There are no solutions, only trade-offs.

John lopez

Id love to contribute. Also wanting to know when the knob will be chsnged out to USA made

Payperheirplain

I'd love to make something for you, but I actually use your scrubber in less conventional use cases. Are you ok with me showing that off? It's amazing at cleaning cast iron but it can also clean many metal surfaces due to the way it's made.

Daniel Turner

patrons@smarteveryday.com FYI—Destin states this email address at 5:35 in the above video

william bumgardner

I recently read "Breakneck" and feel like it highlighted a lot of the things you've been discussing in your manufacturing series and what you're looking to talk about in your new video.

Jeff Geerling

Birds fall from the window ledge above mine, then they flap their wings at the last second ...

Werner Lachmann

I wish I could get them in Australia!!! Mabe one day!!! Keep up the great work!!!

George Reese

War Eagle Destin, I’m excited about the video you’re working on.

Payperheirplain

I'm usually using it on stuff made of steel or cast iron, just not always in a kitchen. Neither of those can be scratched by chain mail.

Stephen Gilliland

I bought a Smarter Scrubber and it's working great! But I have a "devil's advocate" question I wonder if you would address in your next video. I listened to your extended discussion on NDQ about made-in-America. I thought about what makes your product superior to others on the market, and I think it is primarily because you designed it with safety and robustness as priorities rather than cost. However, does the fact it was *manufactured* in America inherently make the product better? If for example you had designed it exactly the same way but selected all foreign parts and offshored the production, could the result be of the same quality? I understand not wanting to offshore to protect your IP, but from the end user's perspective, is the product really better? What incentive do we have to buy made-in-America (vs just designed in America) other than the virtue of fueling American jobs and manufacturing knowledge?

Braden Giblett

as someone who has previously worked in R&D for a antenna company, i think the issue is less about capitalism and more about consumerism. where the general public don't want to pay the high prices and are just happy buying disposable cheaper products. PS the only reason i don't own the scrubber is i am in AUS and the conversion plus freight is a killer (which i guess re-enforces my point)

James Elliot Hudlow

I kind of want to do a clip where I say “I wouldn’t scrub an American with anything else!” And it’s my hand squeezing bodywash on to it and my shower is running in the background. 😂 Yay exfoliation. 😆😆😆

Thomas Higgins

First, hats of for even caring about doing this complex issue justice. Degrees of capitalism....thats a good pov. Greed takes capitalism to the solution for maximizing profits above all else. If you are not factoring humanity into the equation you are dehumanizing the process ,which is exactly what we are seeing happen. It's happened before and regulations were put into place. With those gone...so is the humanity in the equation. And yes "regulations" make the followers of the mythological rugged individual go running back to reread Rand, but the proof is in the pudding.

Kristofer Svelin

Was about to write a similar comment, I also think the issue is more with consumerism than capitalism. People will buy something cheap 10 times over, instead of something that cost 5 times more and lasts 10 times longer.

Chauncey Frend

Smarter Scrubber was one of several made in USA products I saved up and bought in 2025. Also purchased a Worksman Bicycle, Orign jiu jitsu gi, and vinyl records pressed in Metallica's factory. I love looking for these stories behind made in USA products.

ROP's Playbook

I applaud your interest to support communities rather than profit. Profit should and needs to be there, but I find it a detriment when it is the sole focus. I am from Romania, so no video from me. Hope that, in the future, the scrubber will become available worldwide. :) But it is awesome that you want to involve others! Keep up the good work!

Joshua Friend

I appreciate what you are trying to get across. Also, the problem is with greed and a lack of character in business owners paired with a lack of care and education in the customer base, rather than capitalism itself. If we were more educated on our responsibilities as customers in a capitalist world, I think we would all be better off. Excited for the video!

S Kelly

😊 wonderful idea! I don't have a scrubber because I don't scrub my grill. Never understood why people do that... BUT, if I would ever need one, I would buy yours!

TomEmoT

I... I... I don't get it, someone hit me with the cluebat

Swimavidly

My 7th grade social studies teacher once told us there's no such thing as a purely capitalist or a purely socialist society. A purely capitalist society would mean everything is owned privately, and then we wouldn't have roads. A purely socialist society would mean everything is shared, and no one would own houses. No one wants to live in either of those societies, so each nation chooses a point on the capitalism to socialism continuum. The US chooses to be mostly capitalist and a little socialist because we believe private ownership promotes individual freedom. What stuck with me is his point that the choice between capitalism and socialism is a false dichotomy. Instead, each society can choose which parts of the economy are more capitalist and which parts are more socialist in a way that makes sense for their cultural values. To a 7th grader, this was a mind-blowing revelation.

Birds first flapping their wings will leave ... parting gifts ...

William ("0thello") Dye

Please do not call it "the problem with capitalism". Capitalism is not the cause, eliminating capitalism is not a standalone cure, and if you ask kids today "what is the problem with capitalism?" they will probably list other issues besides a propensity to produce a brittle supply chain.

Took-Some-Axin

As an engineer, I really appreciate the distinction. Capitalism isn’t the villain in the story—mindless consumption might be. One of the reasons I really appreciated your discussions around the Johari Window is the willingness to examine our own blind spots. This feels like an extension of that same mindset applied to how we buy, build, and assign value. Looking forward to the video and the discussion it generates!

Steve Jones

That is AMAZING.. Even the BEAR will not have to worry about getting a metal spike in his throat! ;-)

Stephen Gilliland

In other words, I'm trying to separate the factors of "it's worth paying for made-in-America" from "it's worth paying for good engineering", which seem to be confounded in the discussions I've heard thus far.

Nashguy207

I love my smarter scrubber

George Boyd, Jr.

Ordered and will get you a clip asap. I doubt it will be in time for this video, but you may have some use for it in the future. I work at Goldens' Cast Iron where our most recent venture into American made retail capitalism was our cast iron kamado grill! I'd love a chance to share our experience with you to compare notes. (We also do fire pits and during COVID started selling dumbbells and kettlebells.) Plus, we are just down the road from you in Columbus, Ga.

John Cox

Maybe focus on "to the max" in the title? Ex: "The problem with capitalism (to the max)" to avoid unnecessary amounts of angst. Some angst will be had, but those three words could avoid unnecessary quantities :)

Steve Kurt

I'd love to hear more about the PhD work! I'm impressed that you can manage a regular job, the scrubber project, the PhD work, and still getting out a video periodically. Kudos to your family for supporting you in this effort!

Carl Wandering

Regarding problems with manufacturing and capitalism. The majority of my career was in aerospace. I was in marketing, sales, engineering, and applications. My products were on airframes, engines, and the electronic systems. I left the industry the last few years before retiring. I then moved into commercial products. I quickly learned that consumer products are far different from aerospace. I saw hundreds of thousands of dollars reimbursed to customers for warranty claims caused by manufacturing defects. I suggested simple changes to designs and processes based on my experience. My suggestions were always declined, I was told my aerospace experience was not relevant in consumer products. I was lectured on margins, and the defects and warranty claims were covered by high margins. In short, consumers are plagued with poor quality and warranty returns because some consumer manufacturers factor in warranty claims and would rather just pay for returns than change designs or manufacturing processes! I eventually left the consumer products world, and now have a better understanding why products fail. Poor engineering, poor process controls, and the “we have always done it this way” management attitude.

Tim

Did I miss the deadline? Mine's in the mail...

Scott.franson@icloud.com

I so proud of you , I just bless The LORD THE O MOST HIGH GOD . WERE DO I GET THE SCRUBBER .

Jeff Geerling

Reference to the Cake shirt at the beginning of the video — they have some fun and crazy songs, I like Cake too!

Lacquerhead

LOL, I bought mine before I even had a grill just because I believe in the project! I got one for my dad for Father's Day (last year?) and my mom has loved it.

Hunter Jordan

I just sent the email. Hopefully you are still accepting submissions. I has pretty much been raining or dark outside since this request came out.

Josiah Herrera

Not gonna lie as someone who is half American and half Costa Rican I was happy to hear about the original knob. But I respect the desire to have it be all USA made.

Dex Euromat

Sorry. not located in US, but Just received stickers... why that letter had to go via New Zeland to Europe, I'm not sure. But I have a question - the room with postcards looks intriguing... Can patrons send a postard back?

Thomas Leja

Capitalism worked when leaders had principles.

Ian Rampey

if you ever consider make another thing like the smarter scrubber i would suggest making a smaller one for camping.

Marten

So we gunna have to call you Dr soon ?

Simon Bazley

Last time I checked it was $68 for a scrubber plus $45 to have it delivered to the UK. Any chance you have a UK or EU based distributor? I'm ok with $5-10 for postage, but $45 seems steep.

Daniel Fleck

Just a point that we would still have roads in "pure" capitalism, you'd just be tolled (or otherwise monetized) to use them.

Swimavidly

That is a good point @Daniel Fleck, and it highlights the fact that a purely capitalist system isn't always the most efficient system.

John lopez

Tried to send a video since the day you posted and all I get is a return to sender. Sorry Destin

Jeremy J.

Destin, I sent you some video links over DM. Thank you for continuing to support US manufacturing capability a lnd jobs in our communities with this series.

Robert Parker Piano

I've got the original without any laser markings. I logged on tonight to cancel my monthly support. Then I watched this and remembered why I support your channel. It's only $60 a year. Keep thinking man. I'm honored to support you.
