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!

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.

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.

Until the next one,

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.

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!

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!

Until the next one,

Hangin' with the boss man on this one. Where else can you go work and have a boss you actually get along with, who treats you like an adult and empowers you to do what you are trained to do? I love this industry, and the people in it.

You too can join the fun and be rewarded with an outstanding career! That is what it is all about here at the Working Game. We hope to have more fun so stay tuned, check out the episodes, and hang with us. We might even talk about some real and interesting things.

We are here to support the industry and have a little fun. This is where I tell you about where to go if you are interested and give a shout-out to all those who are supporting this effort!

If you are looking to join the UA, no matter where you are in the country, go to UA.org

There are a few contractors getting on board, seeing the challenges ahead of us to get more folks in the trade. Some of those are folks I know and appreciate all they do in this industry!

We are still in need of more support until we can get this thing self-sustaining, it is putting a strain on me a bit. workin' through it but every little bit helps and I intend to help others through this effort. So share the love brothers and sisters! Let's do this together!
