Father’s Day is here, and Jason and John are back in the job trailers talking about everything from vacation chaos and muddy job sites to dog dad life, dairy-free lasagna, terrible Father’s Day gifts, and why dads usually just want a little peace and quiet.

This episode starts with automated voices, Siri/Alexa rabbit holes, Subaru startup sounds, and Jason’s family cabin trip, including Ripley nearly turning a peaceful canoe ride into a full-blown river rescue. From there, the guys get into rain days in the trades, FR rain gear, appliance opinions, Subaru goat jokes, and the weird tech rabbit holes hidden inside modern vehicles.

Then it’s all Father’s Day: why it doesn’t seem to hit the same level as Mother’s Day, what dads actually want, the gifts they remember, and why sometimes a gift card is the most honest answer. John shares the traumatic origin story of his lactose intolerance, Jason talks dog parent life, and the guys debate whether pet parents count, including cats, dogs, carpet shampooers, Kevlar gloves, and dogs stomping where they absolutely should not.

The episode wraps with a solid reminder for Men’s Mental Health Month: check in on the guys in your life. Fathers, stepdads, father figures, uncles, buddies, mentors, whoever fills that role. Sometimes the smallest message means more than you think.
