    #124 Just Chillin' and Bitchin'

    The guys kick things off with whiskey pouring, sugar-free Mountain Dew, brutal heat, a long 2/0 copper wire pull, sticky deep-fryer tables, and a couple of listener shoutouts. Greg sends in a show recommendation with The Capture and offers up a traffic-clearing superpower, while Casey H. recommends Peaky Blinders, which leads Jason and John into a quick talk about Cillian Murphy, Sons of Anarchy, and old-school gangster TV. From there, things bounce exactly the way an ISAW episode should. John brings up the latest Fauci conversation and the guys talk pardons, congressional hearings, and why they still have no use for the guy. Jason explains that he has become his wife’s “weed butler,” John defends Domino’s, Jason gives an update on the KFC bowl disappointment, and then the guys get into beat-up old trucks, farm rigs, homemade flatbeds, flying bed liners, and vehicles that probably should be on the trailer they’re towing. The episode also hits the Sherwin-Williams “Cover the Earth” logo, questionable business logos, Grease Monkey Garage, new drivers white-knuckling through turns, driver training, motorcycle tests, John’s daughter taking her driving test in an R/T Charger, and why learning to drive different-sized vehicles actually matters. Then the guys go off on bad drivers, especially Illinois drivers. Jason officially calls them “Chi Clowns,” John tells a near-miss story from 35W, and the guys talk about blind spots, lane changes, road rage, Dallas traffic, Chicago traffic, and people who do something stupid behind the wheel and still somehow think they’re the victim. The episode wraps with toaster settings, Pop-Tarts, Eggos, “Leggo My Eggo,” a future episode idea about company slogans, and John’s career-level hatred of universal fittings. If you’ve ever fought a “universal” part that fits nothing properly, this ending is for you. Question for the Showerheads: What’s the dumbest everyday thing you have an irrationally strong opinion about, toaster settings, bad drivers, cheap fittings, or something even worse? 00:00 Whiskey and Mountain Dew 00:31 Hot Week and Wire Pull 01:40 MC Cable Grime Rant 02:41 Sticky Table Confession 03:28 Listener Shoutouts and TV 03:58 Superpower Traffic Debate 06:51 Fauci Hearing Fallout 09:04 Wife Weed Butler 10:55 Dominos Versus KFC 13:08 Rusty Truck Sightings 17:32 Sherwin Williams Logo 19:58 New Drivers White Knuckles 22:40 Teaching Kids to Drive 24:54 Charger DMV Test Drama 28:57 Driver Test Courses Talk 30:55 Motorcycle Test Too Easy 31:47 Vince Passed Me Anyway 33:05 Wife Dumped In Class 34:45 Illinois Drivers Rant 36:23 Best vs Worst States 43:59 Worst City To Drive 47:27 Construction Lane Near Miss 51:56 Toaster Dial Debate 58:03 Touchscreen Toasters and Eggos 01:01:18 Universal Fittings Hate 01:05:12 Wrap Up and Thanks Check out everything ISAW: Website: https://isawpodcast.com/ Be a Guest: https://isawpodcast.com/be-a-guest Support the Show / Buy Us a Beer: https://buymeacoffee.com/isaw Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/isawpodcast/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/isawpodcast/ Threads: @isawpodcast Call or text the show: 507-607-4729 Your Work Keeps the World Working. #IShowerAfterWork #ISAWPodcast #JustChillin #BlueCollarPodcast #TradesPodcast #SkilledTrades #ElectricianPodcast #ConstructionLife #WorkRants #BadDrivers #IllinoisDrivers #ToasterDebate #PopTarts #Eggo #Dominos #KFC #UniversalFittings #TradeLife #FunnyPodcast #YourWorkKeepsTheWorldWorking

    #123 Autoplay Ruined My Algorithm

    Jason and John are back in their respective job trailers for Episode #123 of I Shower After Work, and this week they’re talking streaming platforms, TV habits, movies, algorithms, snacks, canceled shows, and the modern problem of having 10,000 things to watch and still somehow picking nothing. The episode starts with John trying to mimic the “recording in progress” voice, the guys talking about the heat finally breaking, wildfire smoke clearing out, and Jason G. becoming the first listener to answer the ridiculous superpower question. Jason G.’s pick? Localized EMPs, basically the perfect way to shut down loud phones, bad drivers, and annoying devices all at once. Then the guys dive into streaming. Netflix, Amazon Prime, HBO/Max, Hulu, Disney+, Apple TV, Paramount+, YouTube, Fire Stick, live TV, hotel cable, prescription commercials, autoplay, algorithm damage, Amazon ads, QR code commercials, renting movies, and the way every platform seems to think it knows what you want better than you do. Jason and John also get into what they’re watching and recommending: The Witcher, Game of Thrones, Marvel rewatches, Silo, Severance, Foundation, Yellowstone, Star Trek, The Last of Us, House of the Dragon, The Rookie, The Expanse, Firefly, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Halo, Tires, The Fall of the House of Usher, Apple Cider Vinegar, and more. They also talk about Netflix cheating "watching episodes or whole seasons without your spouse" weekly episode drops versus binge releases, shows that get canceled too soon, shows that get wrapped up too fast, and why having too many choices has basically become the new channel surfing. The episode wraps with movie theater snacks, popcorn debates, Raisinets, Milk Duds, peanut M&Ms in popcorn, fake butter versus real butter, cheap movie theater hot dogs, ordering food from your seat, golf swing polls, John’s personal-best golf score, and one final reminder: don’t assume your spouse won’t like a show. Ask before you start watching it without them. Question for the Showerheads: What show or movie should Jason and John absolutely watch next, and what streaming platform is it on? 00:00 Lady Voice Warmup 00:43 Heat Wave Catchup 01:46 Podcast Intro And Shoutout 04:04 What To Watch Tonight 05:44 Streaming Platforms Rundown 07:58 Is It Racist Segment 10:28 How Much We Watch 17:10 Autoplay And Algorithms 19:45 Amazon Prime Ad Rant 23:06 Netflix Recs The Witcher 25:50 Rewatches Thrones Marvel 28:19 Finding Whats Popular 32:57 Apple TV Hits And Gripes 35:26 Paramount Trek Yellowstone 37:22 South Park Confession 38:19 Topical Comedy Debate 39:19 Shows You Never Watched 42:05 Netflix Cheating Drama 44:10 Weekly Drops vs Binge 45:54 Canceled or Rushed Endings 49:16 Too Many Streaming Choices 54:25 Fire Stick Weirdness 55:00 Upcoming Watches Hype 58:01 Snack Talk Movie Night 01:00:22 Theater Snacks and Butter 01:06:01 Golf Update and Poll 01:09:37 Final Picks and Wrap-Up Check out everything ISAW: Website: https://isawpodcast.com/ Be a Guest: https://isawpodcast.com/be-a-guest Support the Show / Buy Us a Beer: https://buymeacoffee.com/isaw Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/isawpodcast/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/isawpodcast/ Threads: @isawpodcast Call or text the show: 507-607-4729 Your Work Keeps the World Working. #IShowerAfterWork #ISAWPodcast #StreamingPlatforms #Netflix #AmazonPrimeVideo #Max #HBO #AppleTV #ParamountPlus #DisneyPlus #Hulu #YouTube #BingeWatching #NetflixCheating #MovieNight #TVShows #BlueCollarPodcast #TradesPodcast #SkilledTrades #ElectricianPodcast #PodcastEpisode #YourWorkKeepsTheWorldWorking https://flixpatrol.com/ https://www.google.com/search?q=how+many+hours+do+people+stream+movies+or+tv+across+all+platforms&rlz=1C1VDKB_enUS1090US1090&oq=how+many+hours+do+people+stream+movies+or+tv+across+all+platforms+&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOdIBCzEwMTI5NjNqMGo3qAIIsAIB8QXB6VDSmCtNnPEFwelQ0pgrTZw&sourceid=chrome&source=chrome.ob&ie=UTF-8

    #122 Don’t Start Fires or Eat the Lettuce

    The guys kick things off talking about automated voices, “Mind the Gap,” John’s trip to Europe, YouTube video upload issues, listener feedback, and a shirt idea from friend of the show Leanne that might be the most John phrase ever put on fabric. Then Jason throws out a listener question: if you could have a ridiculous superpower but could not profit from it, what would it be? Jason wants the ability to give bad drivers a slow tire leak, and John wants the power to shut off speakerphone conversations in public by thought alone. From there, the episode jumps into Jason’s back injury, old-man body problems, painkillers and whiskey, North American wildfires, the Boundary Waters, Canada being on fire again, firefighters, National Guard support, fire safety, and why everyone needs to stop being dumb with campfires. The guys also get into John’s Union Golf Tournament, Josh carrying the team, lost golf balls, John calling a guy a douchebag before realizing he worked with him, and the idea that “douchebag” might be North America’s version of the British “c**t.” Then comes the food. Explosive diarrhea outbreaks, lettuce memes, Taco Bell taking heat, farmers markets, washing your produce, KFC nostalgia, popcorn chicken bowls, hangover gravy, World Cup visitors discovering American portion sizes, Bloomin’ Onions, onion rings, porterhouse steaks, tomahawks, bacon-wrapped filets, and Jason’s homemade creamy Cajun pasta. The episode wraps with World Cup visitors, American food culture, fire pit season, backyard fire safety, Pete Heiniger’s fireworks show, 4th of July parties, cornhole heartbreak, Hampton Beach, Los Angeles fireworks chaos, and one final call for listeners to send in their ridiculous non-profitable superpowers. Question for the Showerheads: If you could have one ridiculous superpower but couldn’t make money from it, what would it be? 00:00 Voiceover Booth Bits 00:49 Welcome Back Updates 01:38 YouTube Upload Glitch 02:47 Patch Quote Shoutout 03:46 Show Plug and Feedback 05:02 Ridiculous Superpowers 06:47 Back Pain Disclaimer 07:41 How We Threw Our Backs 10:46 Wildfires Up North 14:05 Canada Fire Numbers 18:35 Firebreaks and Jokes 19:47 Union Golf Recap 22:08 Called a Guy Douchebag 25:02 Zombie Football Reel 28:14 Explosive Diarrhea Outbreak 30:59 Farmers Market Tangent 34:10 KFC Comeback Story 34:46 Hangover Gravy Hack 35:45 KFC Bowl Debate 38:03 Portions And Europe Food 39:55 Bloomin Onion Drama 44:18 Onion Rings Preferences 46:20 Steak Cuts And Bacon 50:13 Cook At Home Tips 51:37 World Cup Ranch Talk 55:11 Grilling Steak Doneness 01:00:00 Fire Pit Safety Rules 01:02:52 Fireworks Recap Wrap Check out everything ISAW: Website: https://isawpodcast.com/ Be a Guest: https://isawpodcast.com/be-a-guest Support the Show / Buy Us a Beer: https://buymeacoffee.com/isaw Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/isawpodcast/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/isawpodcast/ Threads: @isawpodcast Call or text the show: 507-607-4729 Your Work Keeps the World Working. #IShowerAfterWork #ISAWPodcast #FiresDiarrheaFood #BlueCollarPodcast #TradesPodcast #SkilledTrades #ElectricianPodcast #ConstructionLife #Wildfires #FoodTalk #KFC #FarmersMarket #FirePitSeason #WorldCup2026 #BlueCollarLife #FunnyPodcast #PodcastEpisode #YourWorkKeepsTheWorldWorking https://www.fox9.com/live-blog/news/minnesota-wildfires-latest-july-15-2026 https://usfs.maps.arcgis.com/apps/instant/sidebar/index.html?appid=13239023ca7a48378e9a6212b811729a&locale=en https://www.lioapplications.lrc.gov.on.ca/ForestFireInformationMap/index.html?viewer=FFIM.FFIM https://www.rochesterregional.org/hub/cyclosporiasis-parasite-outbreak-diarrhea

    #121 The Race to the Bottom

    The episode starts with John’s towel bar falling off the wall, some homeownership frustration, and the usual ISAW banter. Then Jason explains what sparked the topic, overhearing people on a service call talking about communism as “the real solution” to the current economy and social climate. That kicks off a blunt conversation about communism, socialism, class struggle, history, personal responsibility, and why some ideas sound better on paper than they do in real life. Jason and John talk through the basic history of communism, Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels, The Communist Manifesto, the Soviet Union, China, Vietnam, Laos, Cuba, North Korea, class division, collective ownership, state control, and the idea of a classless society. They also break down the difference between socialism and communism in simple terms, with socialism framed as a stepping stone and communism as the end goal of a stateless, classless, moneyless system. From there, the guys get into the big problems: Who makes the decisions? Who decides who becomes a doctor, engineer, electrician, or laborer? Why would someone take on harder or more dangerous work if everyone receives the same result? What happens when government power keeps expanding? And what are people actually willing to give up to make a communist system work? The guys also talk wealth inequality, billionaires, tax loopholes, charities, social safety nets, welfare, propaganda, bot farms, media manipulation, Yuri Bezmenov, North Korea, Cuba, and why people should research the history before repeating political slogans they heard online. This is not a political science lecture. It is two electricians having a blunt, blue-collar conversation about work, fairness, freedom, responsibility, and why the “race to the bottom” is a dangerous deal. Question for the Showerheads: What do you think is the biggest problem with “everybody gets the same” and what would you refuse to give up? 00:00 Sunday Recording Banter 00:14 Towel Bar Disaster 01:08 Podcast Welcome And Plugs 02:00 Trigger Warning Disclaimer 02:32 Service Call Communist Talk 03:56 Communism Origins 101 05:47 Modern Communist Countries 08:19 Class Struggle Basics 10:17 Why It Never Works 12:42 Rights And The Race Down 14:29 Socialism Vs Communism 18:36 Power Creep And Control 22:24 College Class Analogy 24:01 Dangerous Work Incentives 24:29 Forced Compliance Threats 24:58 Listening Without Agreeing 25:37 Equality Versus Effort 26:25 CEO Pay And Billionaires 28:48 Wealth Gap And Charity Loopholes 31:09 Why Communism Fails Incentives 32:31 Division And Propaganda Tactics 34:01 Bezmenov Infiltration Warning 36:38 Life Under Dictatorships 40:13 Race To The Bottom 41:19 Do Your Research Challenge 44:55 Welfare And Forced Work 47:24 What Would You Give Up 48:04 Closing Thanks And Signoff Check out everything ISAW: Website: https://isawpodcast.com/ Be a Guest: https://isawpodcast.com/be-a-guest Support the Show / Buy Us a Beer: https://buymeacoffee.com/isaw Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/27XH6LENIWEBV7rSmKEeTP?si=0270d395067f4ff6 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/isawpodcast/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/isawpodcast/ Threads: @isawpodcast Call or text the show: 507-607-4729 Your Work Keeps the World Working#IShowerAfterWork #ISAWPodcast #CommunismTalk #Socialism #Capitalism #BlueCollarPodcast #TradesPodcast #SkilledTrades #ElectricianPodcast #WorkingClass #PoliticalDiscussion #PersonalResponsibility #Freedom #HistoryMatters #BlueCollarLife #PodcastEpisode #YourWorkKeepsTheWorldWorking https://search.yahoo.com/search?fr2=p%3ads%2cv%3aomn%2cm%3asa%2cbrws%3achrome%2cpos%3a1&fr=mcafee&type=E210US105G0&p=history+of+communism&guccounter=1 https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/communist-countries https://www.history.com/articles/socialism-communism-differences

    #120 America Turns 250 and We Still Complain

    4th of July Special: Locals, Lazy Juice-Box Dudes, and Judging Hotdog-Only Parties Jason and John are back in their respective job trailers for Episode #120 of I Shower After Work, and this one is their annual Fourth of July special with America hitting the big 250. The guys kick things off with thunderstorms, rain, graduation-party complaints, and why a weekend Fourth of July is one of the best things a construction worker can get. From there, Jason sets the tone for the episode: America may be celebrating 250 years, but one of the best parts of living here is still the freedom to bitch and complain. This episode bounces all over in classic ISAW fashion. Jason asks where the United States ranks among the world’s oldest countries, then gets into what it actually takes to become “local” after living somewhere for 20 years. The guys talk about Jason’s Canadian roots, Midwest identity, accents, Canada Day, America’s baby-country status, and why having roads and castles older than your country puts things in perspective. They also get into piano-moving companies, gas station etiquette, a grown man drinking a juice box while his lady cleans out the car, DoorDash convenience fees, dogs losing their minds at delivery drivers, Fourth of July hosting expectations, fireworks spending, misting fans, rat tails making a comeback, fashion trends repeating, and whether Jason should wear a Canada shirt to a Fourth of July party just to stir the pot. The episode wraps with Fourth of July plans, fireworks safety, America’s 250th anniversary, and a reminder to party responsibly: don’t end up in the news, the hospital, or jail. What’s your must-have Fourth of July party food and what’s the one thing that makes you quietly judge somebody’s cookout? 00:00 Thunderstorms and Rain 00:34 Graduations on Sundays 01:30 Fourth of July Timing 02:21 America Turns 250 03:27 Welcome and Episode Theme 04:34 Oldest Countries Ranking 05:22 Who Counts as Local 08:51 Canadian Identity Jokes 11:08 Piano Movers Conspiracy 12:34 Juice Box Man Card 15:12 Gas Pump Reader Fails 17:14 DoorDash and Dog Alarms 18:11 Convenience Fee Rant 19:20 Fireworks Plans and Costs 22:47 Skipping Hosting Plans 23:34 Heatproof Party Hacks 24:04 Misting Fan Rave 24:50 Rat Tail Revival 26:18 Fashion Cycles Debate 28:11 Patriotic Outfit Ideas 30:06 Judging Party Hosts 34:40 Potluck Food Standards 36:47 Canada Day Time Off 41:07 Fireworks and Drought 43:29 250 Years Perspective 45:06 Final Safety Sendoff Check out everything ISAW: Website: https://isawpodcast.com/ Be a Guest: https://isawpodcast.com/be-a-guest Support the Show / Buy Us a Beer: https://buymeacoffee.com/isaw Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/isawpodcast/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/isawpodcast/ Threads: @isawpodcast Call or text the show: 507-607-4729 Your Work Keeps the World Working. #IShowerAfterWork #ISAWPodcast #Americas250th #FourthOfJuly #July4th #IndependenceDay #BlueCollarPodcast #TradesPodcast #SkilledTrades #ElectricianPodcast #ConstructionLife #MidwestLife #Fireworks #CookoutSeason #CanadaDay #BlueCollarLife #PodcastEpisode #YourWorkKeepsTheWorldWorking

    #119 Safety Third, Until It’s Your Foot

    Jason and John are back in their respective job trailers for this one, and they get into a topic every trade worker knows, jobsite safety. The episode starts with a weird Mall of America hermit crab rabbit hole, then shifts into a real trades conversation after John talks about replacing multiple sections of MCC gear with a crew that absolutely crushed it. From there, the guys get into labeling, low-voltage jokes, jobsite experience, and why safety has changed so much since the early days of the podcast. This week’s main topic is safety in the trades: injuries, rushed schedules, labor shortages, complacency, pressure from companies, tool rules that don’t always match real-world work, three points of contact, working around heavy equipment, electrical hazards, chemical exposure, heat, PPE, and the uncomfortable truth that sometimes the written safety rule creates a different unsafe situation in the field. John shares a recent jobsite injury involving a worker getting hit in the foot by equipment, and the guys talk through why construction is still one of the most dangerous industries out there. They also get into OSHA’s “Fatal Four,” heavy equipment close calls, lightning stories, live electrical work, power tools, Porta-Bands, Hole Hogs, JLGs, lulls, skid steers, and why making eye contact with an operator can be the difference between a normal day and a life-changing one. The guys also look forward, talking about AI, automation, robotic pallet jacks, hard hat cameras, jobsite tracking, and whether future safety programs will actually help workers or just create another way to write people up. At the end of the day, the message is simple: take safety seriously, report the big stuff, don’t let a bad company pressure you into doing something stupid, and go home in one piece. Question for the Showerheads: What’s the closest call you’ve ever had on a jobsite, and what did it teach you? 00:00 Hermit Crab Kiosk Mystery 00:39 Podcast Intro and Job Wins 01:01 MCC Swap and Labeling Chaos 03:08 Safety Talk Returns 04:42 Culvert Accident Breakdown 08:05 Why Safety Slips Under Pressure 14:03 Lightning Tangent and Close Calls 17:15 Reporting Injuries and Fear 19:41 Tool Injuries and Two-Hand Rules 24:04 When Safety Rules Backfire 25:23 Ladders, Racking and Real-World Workarounds 28:11 Trade Risks and Electrician Stakes 29:29 High Voltage Reality 29:39 Advice for Apprentices 30:38 Stand Up for Safety 31:17 Schedule Pressure Problems 33:00 Common Jobsite Injuries 34:44 Live Work Stories 35:42 Heavy Equipment Hazards 40:17 OSHA Fatal Four 41:00 Eye Contact and Signals 44:00 Safety Rules vs Reality 45:44 AI and Automation Risks 52:02 Chemical and Lead Exposure 54:19 Final Safety Takeaways Check out everything ISAW: Website: https://isawpodcast.com/ Be a Guest: https://isawpodcast.com/be-a-guest Support the Show / Buy Us a Beer: https://buymeacoffee.com/isaw Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/isawpodcast/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/isawpodcast/ Threads: @isawpodcast Call or text the show: 507-607-4729 Your Work Keeps the World Working. #IShowerAfterWork #ISAWPodcast #SafetyThird #JobsiteSafety #ConstructionSafety #TradesPodcast #SkilledTrades #BlueCollarPodcast #ElectricianPodcast #ConstructionLife #TradeLife #OSHA #WorkplaceSafety #ToolSafety #HeavyEquipment #BlueCollarLife #YourWorkKeepsTheWorldWorking https://injuryfacts.nsc.org/work/industry-incidence-rates/most-dangerous-industries/https://www.einpresswire.com/article/914941043/breaking-construction-injury-claims-surge-across-u-s-job-sites-in-2026

    #118 Father's Day 2026

    Father’s Day is here, and Jason and John are back in the job trailers talking about everything from vacation chaos and muddy job sites to dog dad life, dairy-free lasagna, terrible Father’s Day gifts, and why dads usually just want a little peace and quiet. This episode starts with automated voices, Siri/Alexa rabbit holes, Subaru startup sounds, and Jason’s family cabin trip, including Ripley nearly turning a peaceful canoe ride into a full-blown river rescue. From there, the guys get into rain days in the trades, FR rain gear, appliance opinions, Subaru goat jokes, and the weird tech rabbit holes hidden inside modern vehicles. Then it’s all Father’s Day: why it doesn’t seem to hit the same level as Mother’s Day, what dads actually want, the gifts they remember, and why sometimes a gift card is the most honest answer. John shares the traumatic origin story of his lactose intolerance, Jason talks dog parent life, and the guys debate whether pet parents count, including cats, dogs, carpet shampooers, Kevlar gloves, and dogs stomping where they absolutely should not. The episode wraps with a solid reminder for Men’s Mental Health Month: check in on the guys in your life. Fathers, stepdads, father figures, uncles, buddies, mentors, whoever fills that role. Sometimes the smallest message means more than you think. Question for the Showerheads: What’s the best or worst Father’s Day gift you’ve ever given or received? 00:00 Recording Started Mishap 00:34 Voice Assistants Behind Scenes 02:17 Irish GPS and Show Intro 02:58 Cabin Trip Canoe Chaos 04:08 Rain Days and Work Gear 05:21 New Dryer and Samsung Rant 06:29 New Subaru and Goat Gift 07:12 Custom Car Startup Sounds 09:48 Fathers Day Underrated 10:44 Dairy Free Lasagna Plans 12:06 Lactose Intolerance Origin Story 17:12 Holiday Rankings and Stats 20:52 Dads Gifts and Father Figures 23:31 Hunting Wedding Shoutouts 24:39 Moms vs Dads Spending Gap 25:25 Dad Was Hit Or Miss 25:38 Bike Phone Mount Gift 26:29 Tech Accessory Racket 27:15 Why Moms Cost More 28:51 Hobby Gifts Made Easy 29:47 Amazon Prime Gripes 30:17 Ditching Apple Watch 31:26 Fishing Gear And Links 33:29 What Dads Really Want 35:02 Gift Cards And Algorithms 37:27 Rich Loud Wealth Quiet 38:12 Are Pet Owners Parents 41:16 Dog Picks The Gift 43:56 Crate Training Heartache 48:38 Dads Need Recognition 50:32 Mens Mental Health Check In 51:46 Fathers Day Final Thoughts Check out everything ISAW: Website: https://isawpodcast.com/ Be a Guest: https://isawpodcast.com/be-a-guest Support the Show / Buy Us a Beer: https://buymeacoffee.com/isaw Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/isawpodcast/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/isawpodcast/ Threads: @isawpodcast Call or text the show: 507-607-4729 Your Work Keeps the World Working. #IShowerAfterWork #ISAWPodcast #FathersDay #FathersDay2026 #DadLife #DogDad #FatherFigures #MensMentalHealthMonth #BlueCollarPodcast #TradesPodcast #SkilledTrades #ElectricianPodcast #ConstructionLife #TradeLife #WorkingDads #PodcastEpisode #FunnyPodcast #BlueCollarLife https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Father%27s_Dayhttps://nchstats.com/americas-most-celebrated-holidays/https://www.visualcapitalist.com/ranked-americas-favorite-holidays/

    #117 News Vol. 4: Boner Bears & Buc-ee’s

    Jason and John are back with another news episode — and this one goes everywhere. They start with hangover-level coffee, motorcycle cabin stories, and a school bus crashing into Hamline University’s science building. From there, they jump into backyard AI data centers, the Minnesota Twins getting smoked by the Detroit Tigers, Boner Bears getting recalled by the FDA, NFL teams making money before selling a single ticket, Chicago Bears stadium drama, and international World Cup tourists losing their minds over Buc-ee’s, Bass Pro Shops, Waffle House, free refills, and American portion sizes. It’s local news, weird news, sports, technology, and classic ISAW-style side tangents. Question for listeners: What’s the most “only in America” thing you’ve ever seen someone from another country react to? 00:00 Hangover Banter 00:43 Wild Cabin Stories 02:32 Podcast Intro 03:13 News Segment Setup 04:31 Bus Hits University 08:41 Home AI Data Centers 21:59 Boner Bears Recall 25:32 Twins Get Thumped 27:15 Ballpark 999 Challenge 28:24 Twins Season Reality 28:46 Baseball Season Too Long 30:09 NBA Finals Street Chaos 32:27 Stadium Funding Drama 34:17 NFL Money Racket 37:00 Super Bowl Cost Story 38:27 World Cup Culture Shock 39:10 Buc-ees And Big Stores 40:19 Free Refills And Ice 41:30 Bass Pro Shopping Trap 45:54 Waffle House First Time 48:01 Exchange Rates And Jokes 50:02 Wrap Up And Plugs #ISAWPodcast #NewsVol4 #TradesLife #AIDataCenters #BonerBears #MinnesotaTwins #WorldCup2026 #BlueCollarPodcast #YourWorkKeepsTheWorldWorking🔗 Be a Guest — https://isawpodcast.com/be-a-guest 🍻 Support the Podcast — https://buymeacoffee.com/isaw 📷 Instagram — https://www.instagram.com/isawpodcast/ 👍 Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/isawpodcast/ https://vfuturemedia.com/future-tech/nvidia-mini-ai-data-center-home-2026/ https://nypost.com/2026/05/28/health/boner-bears-chocolate-recalled-for-containing-viagra-drug/ https://www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/news/bus-crash-hamline-university-st-paul-minnesota/ https://minnesotanewsnetwork.com/tigers-thump-twins/ News Theme 2 by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Artist: http://audionautix.com/
