#123 Autoplay Ruined My Algorithm

<p>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.</p><p><br></p><p>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.</p><p><br></p><p>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.</p><p><br></p><p>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.</p><p><br></p><p>They also talk about Netflix cheating &quot;watching episodes or whole seasons without your spouse&quot; 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.</p><p><br></p><p>The episode wraps with movie theater snacks, popcorn debates, Raisinets, Milk Duds, peanut M&amp;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.</p><p><br></p><p>Question for the Showerheads:</p><p>What show or movie should Jason and John absolutely watch next, and what streaming platform is it on?</p><p><br></p><p>00:00 Lady Voice Warmup</p><p>00:43 Heat Wave Catchup</p><p>01:46 Podcast Intro And Shoutout</p><p>04:04 What To Watch Tonight</p><p>05:44 Streaming Platforms Rundown</p><p>07:58 Is It Racist Segment</p><p>10:28 How Much We Watch</p><p>17:10 Autoplay And Algorithms</p><p>19:45 Amazon Prime Ad Rant</p><p>23:06 Netflix Recs The Witcher</p><p>25:50 Rewatches Thrones Marvel</p><p>28:19 Finding Whats Popular</p><p>32:57 Apple TV Hits And Gripes</p><p>35:26 Paramount Trek Yellowstone</p><p>37:22 South Park Confession</p><p>38:19 Topical Comedy Debate</p><p>39:19 Shows You Never Watched</p><p>42:05 Netflix Cheating Drama</p><p>44:10 Weekly Drops vs Binge</p><p>45:54 Canceled or Rushed Endings</p><p>49:16 Too Many Streaming Choices</p><p>54:25 Fire Stick Weirdness</p><p>55:00 Upcoming Watches Hype</p><p>58:01 Snack Talk Movie Night</p><p>01:00:22 Theater Snacks and Butter</p><p>01:06:01 Golf Update and Poll</p><p>01:09:37 Final Picks and Wrap-Up</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 #StreamingPlatforms #Netflix #AmazonPrimeVideo #Max #HBO #AppleTV #ParamountPlus #DisneyPlus #Hulu #YouTube #BingeWatching #NetflixCheating #MovieNight #TVShows #BlueCollarPodcast #TradesPodcast #SkilledTrades #ElectricianPodcast #PodcastEpisode #YourWorkKeepsTheWorldWo
