#128 Graves, Malort & Bad Decisions

<p>Jason and John are back in their job trailers for Episode #128 of I Shower After Work.</p><p>The episode starts with Jason explaining how a quiet fishing morning on the Mississippi got ruined by a well-meaning trash picker who turned a peaceful riverbank into a global-warming lecture. From there, the guys roll into Minnesota drought conditions, Otter Tail County getting hammered with heavy rain, and a quick shoutout to Cape Breton after major rainfall washed out roads and made life harder for folks back home.</p><p>Then the weird news kicks in hard. John brings up a grave-digging competition in Hungary, complete with two-man teams, hand-dug graves, strict measurements, dry cemetery soil, and a cash prize that probably doesn’t feel big enough once you’re five feet deep with a shovel.</p><p>The guys also react to a reported Amazon/Prime Air cargo plane crash, county officials trying to step into a federal aviation situation, airline safety concerns, and why it is so hard to find good news that is actually recent.</p><p>On the lighter side, they talk about a Chicago bar gathering nearly 2,000 people to take a shot of Malort for charity, why Malort tastes like a punishment.</p><p>There’s also a Wall Street Journal rant, Jason’s nightmare about saying too much online and getting deported, a small farmer giving away nectarines during a legal fight, big companies squeezing small farms, The Fall of the House of Usher, the price of healthy food, and whether playing the Minnesota State Fair means a band is on the way down or just keeping the fans happy.</p><p>The episode takes a serious turn with the Lindsay Clancy case, postpartum, criminal justice, accountability, and the kind of double-standard conversation Jason and John know can get people fired up.</p><p>Then Jason goes off on the TSA possibly letting certain pre-screened people back past security without tickets to say goodbye at the gate. He is not excited. He remembers airport gate goodbyes, fake waves, blocked walkways, grandma traffic jams, and wants absolutely no part of bringing that back.</p><p>The guys close out with the Keefe D / Tupac case, cold cases, mysteries they would want solved, JFK, Princess Diana, the pyramids, ancient construction questions, Jason’s growing boat obsession after last week’s midlife-crisis talk, and the dead-even golf swing poll between Jason and John.</p><p>It’s weird news, dark news, dumb news, serious news, and classic ISAW table talk.</p><p><strong>Question for the Showerheads:</strong></p><p>What historical mystery would you want solved tomorrow? JFK, Princess Diana, the pyramids, Tupac, or something even weirder?</p><p>00:00 No Intro Just Vibes</p><p>00:13 Zoom Setup Talk</p><p>02:03 Fishing Ruined Rant</p><p>03:47 Minnesota Drought Deluge</p><p>06:15 Grave Digging Contest</p><p>10:33 Amazon Cargo Crash</p><p>15:43 Malort World Record</p><p>19:25 Wall Street Journal Rant</p><p>21:49 Deportation Dream</p><p>23:09 Nectarine Farmer Fight</p><p>26:47 Big Business vs Farmers</p><p>32:13 State Fair Career Debate</p><p>33:25 State Fair Concert Value</p><p>35:43 Postpartum Trial Outrage</p><p>45:00 TSA Gate Access Returns</p><p>49:55 Tupac Case Breakthrough</p><p>54:36 Mysteries We Want Solved</p><p>59:34 Boats and Golf Poll Wrap</p><p>Check out everything ISAW:</p><p>Website: https://isawpodcast.com/</p><p>Be a Guest: https://isawpodcast.com/be-a-guest</p><p>Support the Show / Buy Us a Beer: https://buymeacoffee.com/isaw</p><p>Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/isawpodcast/</p><p>Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/isawpodcast/</p><p>Threads: @isawpodcast</p><p>Call or text the show: 507-607-4729</p><p>Your Work Keeps the World Working.</p><p>#IShowerAfterWork #ISAWPodcast #WeirdNews #BlueCollarPodcast #TradesPodcast #SkilledTrades #ElectricianPodcast #ConstructionLife #MinnesotaPodcast #WeirdNewsStories #Malort #Tupac #TSA #SmallFarmers #MinnesotaStateFair #HistoricalMysteries #FunnyPodcast #TradeLife #YourWorkKeepsTheWorldWorking</p><p>News
