Religious Intolerance: Alan addresses the "F the Mormons" chants at the OSU vs. BYU game, calling for university accountability and comparing the behavior to religious bigotry against other faiths. The High Road: Contrasting the hostility with BYU’s tradition of giving free ice cream to visiting fans and donating tons of food to local shelters before away games. The "Ice Oreo" Technique Vertical Splitting: Tilt shovel handle toward body so the blade hits ice perfectly vertical to split molecules like wood grain. Equipment Arbitrage: Using commercial snowblowers and Husky shovels salvaged from junk removal jobs to run a $100/hr service. Survival Hack: When rock salt is sold out, use Morton's table salt for walkways. Market & Numbers $100/hr Snow Removal $31.00 DC to SLC Flight Life "Junk" Removal #Charity#SnowHacks#BYU#GoWildPass#KrispyKreme Acts of Service • Escorting elderly across icy roads. • "The Last Supper": Monthly dinner for 6+ missionaries. • Door-Dashing "Honeymoon Chicken" for new parents. Target Audience: Homeowners, Entrepreneurs, Spiritual Seekers 60 Min Broadcast In this episode of the Junk Refund Show, host Alan J. Cook explores the philosophy of "getting the junk out of your life," ranging from addressing religious intolerance in college sports to practical tips for winter snow removal. Cook emphasizes the importance of service, resourcefulness, and maintaining high standards even when faced with negativity. Detailed Key Points Addressing Religious Intolerance in Sports Cook addresses a series of recent incidents where fans at Big 12 universities directed derogatory religious chants toward BYU athletes. He argues that such behavior reflects a "feeble mind" and calls for stricter consequences, such as expulsion or heavy fines for participating students. In contrast, he highlights the "high road" taken by the BYU community, which includes donating thousands of pounds of food to local shelters in opposing teams' cities and offering free ice cream to visiting fans in Provo. Cook asserts that while others may choose religious intolerance, his community will continue to respond with charitable acts and higher standards. The "High Road" vs. The "Low Road" Low Road Behavior Public religious intolerance Derogatory chanting Hostile environments High Road Response 29,000 lbs food donations Free ice cream for visitors Maintaining Honor Codes Resourcefulness in the Snow Removal Business The episode provides a masterclass in turning "junk" into profit during harsh winter conditions. Cook shares how he uses commercial snowblowers and lawnmowers—items that customers paid him to haul away—to run a lucrative snow removal side business during the DC area's deep freeze. He details the physics of ice removal, explaining that a shovel must be held perfectly vertical to split the "ice Oreo cookie" structure of frozen snow. Due to a regional shortage of rock salt and shovels, he proposes using common table salt as a creative alternative for melting ice on walkways. The Philosophy of Service and Connection Cook shares personal anecdotes illustrating how small acts of service can "get the junk out of your relationships." These include helping an elderly pedestrian cross an icy street, using delivery apps to provide meals for new parents, and hosting "The Last Supper" for young missionaries. He also discusses his "spiritual hobby" of visiting every LDS temple in the U.S., using these trips to build traditions with his granddaughters through specific gifts. He maintains that physical distance is no barrier to close family ties if one is intentional about communication and shared experiences. Pro-Tip: The Physics of Ice Splitting To break thick ice efficiently with a pointed shovel: 90° Vertical Angle Splits molecules along the grain line ➔ One-Hit Break "Tilt the handle toward your body to ensure the blade is perpendicular to the ground." Key Data Refund Success: One client spent $375 on junk removal and received $375 on junk removal and received $3,200 back after items were sold. Snow Removal Rates: Cook charges $100 per hour with a $100 per hour $with a $50 minimum. Travel Savings: Utilized a "Go Wild Pass" to book a flight from DC to Salt Lake City for only $31 in taxes.
