The Trucker's Guide to Time Travel & Christmas Traditions

#podcast #jatp #Trucking #hgv What happens when you put three truckers in a room and ask them how to survive in the 1800s? You get a 10-minute debate on whether a steam-powered helicopter could actually fly and a realization that none of them actually know how to make plastic. This week, Tom is stressing over his car's MOT, Chloe is dreading a trip to the toy store, and David is trying to convince everyone that his "idea guy" persona would make him the Steve Jobs of the Middle Ages.Come for the trucking talk (including Chloe’s unfortunate encounter with a very tall tree), but stay for the part where they discover the Bible has "bonus content" and that "Jingle Bells" isn't actually about Christmas. Whether you’re interested in the mechanics of a ballpoint pen or the cultural phenomenon of eating KFC in Japan for Christmas dinner, this episode has absolutely everything—except, perhaps, a coherent plan for time travel.So let's strap down, let's strap in, and let's do this.http://patreon.com/JATP to support our channel.Check out Salmonslap.com to buy merchIf you are new to our Trucking Podcast, our hosts all have their own Youtube channels; Tom from Expect For Access, Chloe from Skip ChickDavid from My Trucking Skills.Tom and Chloe have their class 1 licenses and drive their HGV in the UK.

Jamma Nearly Knocked a guy Out: Workplace Fights & The Sausage Roll Truce

This week, the boys are back, and the energy is… volatile. David starts off in a mood that Jamma describes as "Vekna-level angry," but things quickly spiral into one of the most chaotic and revealing episodes yet.First up, Jamma drops a bombshell about his first week in his new management role. It involves a shouting match, a near-brawl on the warehouse floor, and a surprising peace offering involving pastry. We deep dive into the "fight or flight" response—are you a runner, or do you stand your ground when a driver gets in your face?Meanwhile, David confesses to his new addiction: using AI to develop his trucking game. Is it coding genius or lazy cheating? He breaks down how he’s using technology to build new features (and stranger things skins) without knowing exactly how the code works.Tom takes us into the seedy underbelly of the UK waste industry, exposing a massive illegal fly-tipping scandal in Oxford involving hundreds of trucks and organized crime. This leads to a grim but necessary discussion about truck stop hygiene—specifically, the "piss bottle" epidemic plaguing lay-bys everywhere.Also in this episode:Beard Science: The uncomfortable truth about facial hair follicles and why Jamma thinks beards are "racist."Fact Check: The boys try to guess the true, often gruesome origins of idioms like "Caught Red-Handed," "Balls to the Wall," and "Bite the Bullet."Parenting Fears: From Minecraft prodigies to the terrifying anxiety of watching your kids near a cliff edge.Tom’s New Gig: Why Tom is volunteering for St. John’s Ambulance (and why he’s probably overqualified).It’s educational, it’s slightly gross, and it’s mostly just another trucking podcast.
