143: The Cable Man

In episode 143: The Cable Man; Brian and Shipper are joined by Shipper's neighbor, Matt, a Union Lineman. Matt got his start with PPL, a local electric company, and after work became tight, he took his talents to the union. He is now a foreman and typically doesn't have to get up in the bucket anymore, yet has experienced some truly unbelievable events through his time out in the field. Matt has traveled all over the United States, for his job, as well as traveling to Puerto Rico to help restore electricity after a hurricane. He explains what it's like going to a new place after a natural disaster, and the difficulty of the job through the chaos. This was an interesting conversation that took us on a wild journey, ultimately full of laughs along the way. We hope you enjoy this one, and thanks for joining us for the ride!KEEP US FUELED: buymeacoffee.com/hammerlaneLEAVE A VOICEMAIL: 515-585-MERK(6375)EMAIL US YOUR STORIES: [email protected]: www.hammerlanelegends.comGear: https://www.hammerlanelegends.com/gearYouTube: www.youtube.com/channel/UC5TWlB5Yqx8JlQr3p3bkkMgFacebook: www.facebook.com/hammerlanelegendsInstagram Desktop: www.instagram.com/hammerlanelegendsInstagram Mobile: @hammerlanelegendsTwitter Desktop: www.twitter.com/HLLPodcastTwitter Mobile: @HLLpodcastProduced by: Jack MerkelFollow Jack on Instagram @jack_theproducer
