Union Made and Uncensored

With Missouri's Amendment 6 taking center stage ahead of Election Day, the guys get into a heavy discussion about what's on the ballot.

Anthony and Brian have been dropping some serious pounds, so naturally, the boys have some...

The boys are back at it! This week, Shifty, Lil Bear, Anthony, Jason, and Brian kick things off with some good ol' blue-collar nostalgia, swapping stories about growing up and using the oven to heat the house. Because apparently, central heating was just opening the oven door and hoping for the best. 💀 Then HR gets involved with a brand-new complaint form… so you already know that's going to go w...

the boys are back at it again, talking the usual bullshit!  From Amendment 6 updates (because they're not letting that one go until November 3rd 👀) to Halloween memories, future plans, and the age-old question of whether scaring kids is hilarious or just plain evil. 💀🎃 Then it's time for the game, and this week Brian takes the L and gets a little… butthurt. 😂 You already know how that goes. Bu...

Brian, Shifty, Anthony, and Lil Bear are back around the table talking about Amendment 6 (and yes, they'll probably keep talking about it until November 3rd), union vs. non-union benefits, health insurance, pensions, and all the other stuff that comes with being in the trades. They also throw down on some trivia, and somehow Lil Bear ends up taking the L. Again. 🤣 Then the guys read some of the T...

Doug Beck , Missouri Senator, joins us along with Gary Payeur , Business Manager from the Insulators for one hell of a conversation about Amendment 6, who to trust in Missouri, the future of our state, and the candidates coming down the road. Then Jason takes a beating in trivia and pays the price with some Reaper sauce. Somehow, he...

The crew is down three this week with Anthony, Shifty, and Twiggs out—but the bullshit carries on.

They took a week off, came back, and immediately decided to turn the podcast into a Titanic audition. Terry kicks things off with his absolutely unnecessary impersonation of Rose, followed by Anthony giving us his best Jack. It's something. We're not saying it's good, but it's definitely something. Then things get a little more serious as the guys talk about what would happen if unions disappeared...

Then poor Donnie becomes the target of the day after admitting he d...

After a recording error sent the original episode straight to the graveyard, the guys had no choice but to run it back.
