Today on Load-Bearing Dad, Tim Duran walks through one of the most chaotic parenting missions yet — blood draws, meltdowns, and a standoff with a juice-filled child who refuses to pee.

🩸 In Fatherhood: Both kids had blood work done, which became a full-blown tactical situation. Tears, restraint, juice boxes, and… zero urine output from Lucas, despite pounding fluids like a champ.

⚾ In Sports: The Yankees continue their downward spiral, dropping another painful game. It’s getting harder to stay loyal — but that’s what being a fan (and a dad) is about.

🛠️ In Tech: Tim breaks down the silent killer of productivity — push notification failures — and how mobile OS updates and battery settings are wrecking your alerts.

If you’ve ever wrestled a kid in a clinic, cursed at your phone for missing a Teams ping, or screamed at the Yankees bullpen — this episode is your therapy.
