Hello again folks!
This one is a mess! Been covered up and can't seem to stay at this long enough to produce anything consistent. I have not quit though. Have finally gotten enough pieces put together to call it an episode.
Here are the Tid Bits that if thrown together will hopefully keep you interested and entertained.
It is a perfect time to get into the apprenticeship with the UA and start your training to lead you into the best dang career in the country. You too could be a badass pipefitter!
Speaking of that, if you are a badass pipefitter and want some badass swag, Check out ⁠WG Squared.com⁠. You can get some cool Union t-shirts, long sleeves, and sweatshirts.
And as promised, the folks who are helping us out get a link in the show notes. They help us out, let's help them out!

⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Reel Pipe & Valve⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, Another family owned business that has never let me down, even off hours! Click the link or call 317-639-8421
If you would like to secure a career in an industry that will improve your lifestyle, and ability to stay employed, and is just damn fun, check out⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ UA.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

I am going to start mentioning something that can help you make a few bucks too. The ⁠⁠⁠Upside⁠⁠⁠ app is something you can use to get cash back on purchases, mostly gas but they do have other restaurants and stuff who participate too. I have made like $98 already this year for getting gas I had to get anyway. I can help you get a little extra too. Just download the app and use code CHAD329549 and get some extra upfront! you can get a $5 bonus for using this code right now on your first fill up.

March 06, 2024 Flash Back
Whoa!
Guess I missed something! It is that time of year when all the locals start evaluating and selecting the apprentices who have all the right stuff for the national apprentice competition. Last year we had Devon Garrett bless us with his presence and somehow I lost track of a track.
Now we are going to do a little flashback and put this one up.

February 17, 2024 BIG MONEY
Here we go again! Still havin' a bit of fun when we can. in between jobs and all the OT, tight schedules, school, and just plain livin'.
In this episode, we talked about all kinds of stuff. mostly just stuff but you know, why the hell not.
Did call it Big Money because all the stuff we are leading into this year with our contract being up, the cost of a carton of eggs, things that happened with the UAW, and all the work coming down the pipeline. As I see it, this leads to a product of large sums of money coming our way.
It is a perfect time to get into the apprenticeship with the UA and start your training to lead you into the best dang career in the country. You too could be a badass pipefitter!

October 07, 2023 Just Havin' Fun
I told you we like havin' fun! If you want to see the real cover art, go to the Spotify Page to check it out.
This episode is what it is all about. The whole point in playing the Working Game is so you can go out and have fun, do the things you want, it is like Livin' The Dream!
Continuing our conversation from last week, this is where we got. Riding the back roads, two-wheel or four, it is always a good time and a way to unwind. If that is something that interests you and you don't have the resources to get there. I recommend joining the trade!
Just go to ⁠UA.org⁠ to find a local near you and get a hold of the hall in their area so we can get in touch with the right person! If that doesn't work, just hit me up, I am glad to help also!
Working on getting some other avenues opened up, so make sure you check out the website ⁠Workinggamepodacst.com⁠. You can find all the episodes, more posts, and one thing that you can't get here, the ⁠Tool Box⁠. It is a place where I will be sharing things that have helped me out along the way.
I did mention, that with us starting out, it is a struggle to keep things up and running, and need all the support I can get. If you are a proud union member and would like to⁠⁠ Keep America Union Strong⁠⁠, click the link and throw a contribution our way. We are talking pennies a day to help us cover the operating costs and get this in gear so we can really help locals out across the country.
Fortunately, I do have some friends who are helping out but it hasn't quite gotten to the level of self-sustaining yet. Among those friends are,
⁠⁠FloSource⁠⁠
⁠⁠Reel Pipe and Valve⁠⁠
⁠⁠Milwaukee Tool⁠⁠
Make sure to support the ones who support us! This is the way. How we survive, working together toward a common goal!
I hope this goes well, I have great things planned. It takes time, it takes work, and it takes funding. Please support us in this effort and support the UA!

May 20, 2023 Eddie and Me
Hey there folks!
Just a quick little episode here with Eddie and Me. Hangin' out, havin' some fun, and gettin' stuff done. We hope to have some more stuff coming up soon, I have been working OT and spending a lot of time on other things so we haven't gotten the opportunity to line up a bunch of folks for interviews. I have been working on it lately and have a few set up soon.
Working on getting info for online interviews to get into the apprenticeship, and networking with contractors to help us improve the demographics of our membership to align with the amount of upcoming work. That is the Working Game!
