S2 E28: The Concrete Jungle: Inside Road Construction

Join the 'I Shower After Work Podcast' crew as they discuss the frustrations and challenges of living with ongoing road construction. Broadcasting from the east side job trailer, John and Jason highlight the stalled construction efforts due to travel and vacations, and the impact on daily commutes—and jab at the 'dipshits' who make it worse. They give a shoutout to former guest Adam Smith, celebrate his transition off night shifts, and reveal plans for a game show featuring top guests of the year. Dive into interrupted construction projects, road safety, mismanaged repairs, and even the dire fate of construction workers caught in reckless driving zones. A mix of serious topics, humor, and even a rant about the current trend in mustache styling. This episode promises a rollercoaster ride through one of the most aggravating yet vital aspects of modern infrastructure.
