#127 Old AF But Still Kicking

<p>Jason and John are back for Episode #127 of I Shower After Work, and this week they’re talking about getting old or at least realizing your body has been aging even if your brain still thinks you’re somewhere around 38.</p><p><br></p><p>The episode kicks off with John’s birthday recap, peach cobbler tragedy, dairy-free ice cream, Midwest weather, Jason’s trip to Jimmy’s land and cabin, and a quick follow-up from last week’s Star Trek warp speed question. Jason’s brother comes through with the nerd answer: fuel, antimatter, deuterium, and dilithium crystals. Exactly the kind of answer Jason asked for, even if John still calls it Star Trek nerd stuff.</p><p><br></p><p>Then the guys get into the main topic: aging. Jason is turning 48, John just turned 45, and both of them agree their brains feel younger than their bodies. They talk about when your mental age seems to stop, why 50 used to feel ancient, how old injuries come back to collect payment, and why doing dumb kid stuff before smartphones might be one of the greatest blessings of their generation.</p><p><br></p><p>They also talk about not needing excuses anymore when you want to leave, growing up in open houses vs. closed houses, caring less what people think, walking into phone-zombie teenagers, old injuries from trees and four-wheelers, vague childhood memories, questions you should not ask your spouse, John’s rule of 555, giving advice when you’re old enough that people might actually listen, and the strange pride of realizing your opinion carries a little more weight now.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Question for the Showerheads:</strong></p><p>What do you think Jason and John’s midlife crisis purchases would be?</p><p><br></p><p>00:00 Back In The Suck</p><p>00:16 Birthday Recap And Cobbler Fail</p><p>01:10 Dairy Free Ice Cream Talk</p><p>01:40 Destructible Word Debate</p><p>02:46 Weekend Cabin Getaway</p><p>04:28 Shout Outs And Nerd Notes</p><p>06:27 Why Getting Old Feels Weird</p><p>09:21 Less Fucks To Give</p><p>14:56 Pre Internet Stupidity Wins</p><p>16:05 Childhood Injuries Catch Up</p><p>20:07 Memory Gaps And Aging</p><p>21:13 Body Count Trap Question</p><p>23:40 Questions You Shouldnt Ask</p><p>27:11 Questions Without Answers</p><p>27:58 Rule Of 555</p><p>29:19 Advice Without Credentials</p><p>32:41 Parenting And Being Needed</p><p>33:41 Midlife Crisis Talk</p><p>37:55 Quotes On Aging</p><p>41:30 Hangovers Hit Harder</p><p>45:21 Dad Jokes For Everyone</p><p>46:55 Midlife Crisis Predictions</p><p>51:55 Mirror Moment And Fitness</p><p>53:22 Subscribe And Go Live</p><p>54:12 Final Wrap And Cheers</p><p><br></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><br></p><p>Call or text the show: 507-607-4729</p><p><br></p><p>Your Work Keeps the World Working.</p><p><br></p><p>#IShowerAfterWork #ISAWPodcast #OldAF #GettingOld #Aging #MidlifeCrisis #DadJokes #BlueCollarPodcast #TradesPodcast #SkilledTrades #ElectricianPodcast #ConstructionLife #PodcastEpisode #FunnyPodcast #TradeLife #YourWorkKeepsTheWorldWorking</p><p><br></p>
