On Season 6, Episode 2 of Jason in the Morning, we’re talking trash, protests, and plate discipline.

First, we climb into the cab with Waste Management’s CEO, Jim Fish, the guy who still shows up for 1 a.m. safety briefings and rides trash routes with his crews. Fortune calls out how he uses ride-alongs, language, and trust to attack one of the most dangerous jobs in America from the ground up instead of just from the boardroom.

Then we head to Minnesota, where the Department of Homeland Security publicly blasted a Hampton Inn by Hilton after emails told federal bookers that “ICE or immigration agents” weren’t welcome. The hotel owner calls it a mistake. DHS calls it discrimination. We dig into what happens when national immigration crackdowns collide with local business politics.

Finally, we cool everything down with a new look at intermittent fasting. A fresh clinical study on alternate-day fasting finds that the magic isn’t in the fasting schedule at all—once you control for weight loss, the metabolic benefits look a lot like plain old calorie restriction. No mystical “metabolic reset,” just a different way of eating less.

Trash trucks, hotel wars, and harsh truths about fad diets—three stories tied together by who actually does the hard work and who just writes the rules.
