Jason and John open by joking about poor sleep caused by a dog throwing off a Sleep Number bed, introduce Remy the corgi, and then shift to work: projects are moving fast but the Twin Cities outlook looks slow, with over 200 apprentices still on the book. They celebrate spring weather, then roast a goofy immigration-assistance website advertising immigration to Canada while discussing Canadian immigration trends and the speaker’s easier U.S. citizenship process as a Canadian married to a U.S. citizen. Other topics include a coworker who talks too loudly in a small break area, frustration with people wasting money on rims and smoke-stack trucks, opinions on face and neck tattoos, road construction driving and merging, building and riding new pedal-assist e-bikes, and ideas to step up a 250th-anniversary Fourth of July party.

Question for listeners: What is one thing in your life that seems completely normal to you but makes absolutely no sense to someone else? Drop it in the comments — we’ll read the best ones on the show.
