Union Made and Uncensored

This week the guys make some questionable life choices.

Mike and Anthony take on the Red Hot Reaper chip challenge and immediately question their existence, while Terry rolls the dice on gas station sushi like a man with nothing to lose.

In between tears, sweating, and possible food poisoning, they dive into real talk about union approval ratings, what it actually looks like to build a career in the trades, and why union life still matters. Pay, benefits, brotherhood — all of it.

Of course there's plenty of BS and trivia, because suffering apparently improves knowledge retention.

Spicy takes. Risky bites. Solid careers.

This week the guys are joined by Brad, a bricklayer with 20+ years in the trade and enough stories to fill a jobsite trailer.

They get into what "right to work" actually means (and why people constantly get it wrong), dive headfirst into men's health — yes, including colonoscopies — and somehow manage to make preventive care sound like a jobsite safety meeting.

Of course, Shifty's Presidential and sports trivia makes an appearance, egos are tested.

Hard hats. Hard truths. And apparently… soft diets before a scope.

This week the guys do what they do best — talk a whole lot of nonsense and somehow end up educating you. Shifty's trivia game is back and it's absolute chaos. They break down how unions helped shape the 40-hour work week, child labor laws, OSHA, and the workplace protections we take for granted today.

Oh — and Tim gets absolutely destroyed by Bean Boozled.

Knowledge. Nonsense. Suffering. Episode 16 doesn't disappoint.

Episode 15 is a f**king mess — and we wouldn't have it any other way. Anthony loses last week's game and pays up by eating a cow tongue like a champ (or an idiot… jury's still out). There's plenty of dumb sh*t, a surprisingly serious pension conversation, and Shifty shows up with his trivia game to make sure nobody leaves feeling smart.

It's gross. It's loud. It's educational for like 3 minutes. If you're easily offended or eating dinner — maybe skip this one. Or don't. F**k it.

Episode 14 dives into what it really takes to train the next generation of tradesmen. We're joined by Matt, Apprentice Instructor for Local 1 Bricklayers, to talk apprenticeships, long-term careers in the trades, and how to build a future that lasts in today's world.

The conversation heats up with debates on current affairs before things go completely off the rails with Shifty's Game — covering politics, unionism, spelling, and everything in between.

Tim loses… and yes, that means awful karaoke 🎤

Education, brotherhood, and a little humiliation — just how we like it.

Episode 13 welcomes a very special guest — Mrs. Kay. With 16 years working for the union, she works in the health insurance office helping members navigate benefits, coverage, and the stuff everyone should know but usually doesn't.

She breaks down the ins and outs in a way that actually makes sense, sharing real insight from years of helping union families — all while proving why she's one of the kindest, most loved people around. (And yes… she's also a baking legend.)

Of course, it wouldn't be Union Made and Uncensored without a little chaos. Shifty's Game makes a return, Brian loses, and pays the ultimate price by taking on the Bean Boozled Challenge — with some truly questionable results.

Helpful, heartfelt, and hilariously gross — don't miss this one.

Episode 12 puts union knowledge to the test.

Between wrong answers, bragging rights, and a few surprises, the conversation starts serious as they talk about what union brotherhood really means: having each other's backs, passing knowledge down, and why solidarity matters now more than ever.

Then the guys jump into a labor-themed trivia challenge — Are You Smarter Than a Tradesman? — covering trades, labor history, and union basics.

Lastly, our precious Little Bear lost a game and blessed us with his beautiful singing voice.

Let us know what you think, or dont!

Episode 11 is all over the place — in the best way.

The guys kick things off with the Bullshit game and punishments, setting the tone with laughs and chaos before shifting into real-world conversations. They dive into union organizing, what it actually looks like on the ground, and why it matters now more than ever.

From there, the discussion moves into politics, tackling current issues, strong opinions, and the kind of conversations people usually avoid — all with the guys' unfiltered perspective.

The episode takes a meaningful turn with a candid discussion on suicide awareness, the importance of checking in on one another, and why speaking up matters. They wrap things up with the mail bag, thanking everyone for the continued support.

Funny, real, and unapologetically honest — Episode 11 doesn't shy away from anything.

This week, the guys cover a wide range of hot-button topics that hit close to home for union members and workers in the trades. They dive into who actually represents union members in politics, and whether workers' voices are really being heard. The conversation shifts to robots and new technology in the trades, what it means for jobs, job sites, and the future of skilled labor.

Of course, it wouldn't be a full episode without some Butthurt — including the return of Butthurt Torture — as the guys call out thin skin, bruised egos, and the realities of working in rough environments. They also get serious about harassment of members, where the line should be drawn, and how unions and workplaces should handle it.

Real talk, uncomfortable laughs, and opinions that might piss a few people off — just another week on the job.

Episode 9 picks up where last week left off — because punishments don't just disappear. The guys briefly revisit the fallout from last episode before diving headfirst into how the labor industry is changing with the newer generation of workers. From shifting attitudes and expectations to old-school lessons that still matter, nothing's off the table.

They also trade stories about the worst jobs they've ever had, the grind that shaped them, and why some work scars never really fade. Add in another round of Butthurt, plenty of opinions, and zero filters, and you've got an episode that blends hard-earned experience with classic Union Made & Uncensored chaos.
