#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 “cunt.”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 Bits00:49 Welcome Back Updates01:38 YouTube Upload Glitch02:47 Patch Quote Shoutout03:46 Show Plug and Feedback05:02 Ridiculous Superpowers06:47 Back Pain Disclaimer07:41 How We Threw Our Backs10:46 Wildfires Up North14:05 Canada Fire Numbers18:35 Firebreaks and Jokes19:47 Union Golf Recap22:08 Called a Guy Douchebag25:02 Zombie Football Reel28:14 Explosive Diarrhea Outbreak30:59 Farmers Market Tangent34:10 KFC Comeback Story34:46 Hangover Gravy Hack35:45 KFC Bowl Debate38:03 Portions And Europe Food39:55 Bloomin Onion Drama44:18 Onion Rings Preferences46:20 Steak Cuts And Bacon50:13 Cook At Home Tips51:37 World Cup Ranch Talk55:11 Grilling Steak Doneness01:00:00 Fire Pit Safety Rules01:02:52 Fireworks Recap WrapCheck out everything ISAW:Website: https://isawpodcast.com/Be a Guest: https://isawpodcast.com/be-a-guestSupport the Show / Buy Us a Beer: https://buymeacoffee.com/isawInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/isawpodcast/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/isawpodcast/Threads: @isawpodcastCall or text the show: 507-607-4729Your Work Keeps the World Working.#IShowerAfterWork #ISAWPodcast #FiresDiarrheaFood #BlueCollarPodcast #TradesPodcast #SkilledTrades #ElectricianPodcast #ConstructionLife #Wildfires #FoodTalk #KFC #FarmersMarket #FirePitSeason #WorldCup2026 #BlueCollarLife #FunnyPodcast #PodcastEpisode #YourWorkKeepsTheWorldWorkinghttps://www.fox9.com/live-blog/news/minnesota-wildfires-latest-july-15-2026https://usfs.maps.arcgis.com/apps/instant/sidebar/index.html?appid=13239023ca7a48378e9a6212b811729a&locale=enhttps://www.lioapplications.lrc.gov.on.ca/ForestFireInformationMap/index.html?viewer=FFIM.FFIMhttps://www.rochesterregional.org/hub/cyclosporiasis-parasite-outbreak-diarrhea
