You can see the old ass gears in his head turn and clunk as he understands that between the excavator, his hip replacement, his knee replacement, and his back brace, he might as well be running out there with a 10 foot copper pipe trying to get struck by lightning
Im with Roscoe, do it yourself bossman. I was wearing an old school welding hood (non battery type) when a lightning bolt hit a transformer on a pole across the street. It was only a light mist, so I wasn't worried. When the bolt hit, I was blinded and a surge went up one leg and out my arms. Needless to say, the bar opened early.
Goddamn, what are the chances of surviving such lightn8ng, mothernature don't play games, which is why the darwin awards xist for that reason, I'm just glad you didn't win that awards, cause I'd rather a dumba$$ win it than you my guy, you lucky with that luck, not many peoples get out of situation like that.
As someone who has worked outside in heavy rain, and perhaps a little bit of far off lightning, while trying to do utility locates, I don't blame Ricky or Roscoe. Also now I work with Hydro Excavation trucks, and the safety rule is that they shut down for at least 30 mins when lightning is spotted, because even though they have grounding equipment, you don't!
Yeah, I've worked with companies before that cut corners on safety and the whole time I was thinking, "Why am I risking my ass just to save these bastards a couple bucks?"
It's Nicholas aka Big Hoss and our company does that non sence hydro crap, y'all can have that I'll stay my tail in a heavy haul rig with rubber tires outta the weather. I don't get paid them labor wages lmfao CDL stands for can't do dumbass labor ...ok except for this last week when I had to show the new rookies a thing or two before they messed up some equipment
They’re just big vacuum trucks, they’re not only used in hydro excavation projects. But I agree, most construction projects have a special rule, is to go to somewhere safe, at the first sign of lightning, then when the storm passes and in that case it’s in the summer when storms do pass, your not allowed to continue work until 30 minutes after the last reported lightning strike, or until the storm is at least 10 miles away.
As a Floridian who was actually crazy enough to go through a hail storm to get a burger I still gotta say I agree with Ricky. I don't feel like potentially becoming a human lightning rod at work.
If it’s too bad outside for Roscoe then you done know it’s bad. I think this would be a great opportunity for the safety man to give a demonstration on how to safely put the equipment back up during a “drizzle”
Brother your lighting, effects and ambient sounds apartment were on point today! Edit: I live just an hour or two away from you and yeah, it got nasty! We were putting a roof on my house... Needless to say we stopped quick!
I've literally had a thunderstorm in my front yard, and it's sunny in my backyard. Weather near the Gulf Coast is one weird breeze away from confounding us with something new everyday.
Hey bro just recently found your videos. I am hooked been binge watching for 2 days Roscoe is my fav character.i haven't actually laughed out loud for so long.appreciate you keep it up bro
LOL! Keep watching your videos and I just keep on visualizing actual coworkers I work with that are damn near perfect matches to so many examples given!
Shout out to all you lightning rods... i mean lineman that have to work in that shit. Kidding aside not nearly enough respect is paid to y'all for what you do, thank you
Hmm interesting. I clearly dont know anything on the matter. This was right after a very serious storm, so I just assumed the lightning was real. So no chance that it was real and he waited for the strikes for us? 😂
The fact that you funny ASF😂🤣😂🤣and you're attentive to other lifestyles gives these skits life, to me. You are on your way to acting, more and more and I can tell you NOW, TP(IYKYK)ain't got nun on you, muh boi.
Working in northern Michigan. Most jobs don't have power when we show up! Some don't have it when we finish. Most mornings and n the winter when we start are in the single digits. And they don't end much higher
That’s the same kind of boss that wants you to jump into a 12 foot hole with no staging or bracing saying “I wouldn’t tell you to do anything I wouldn’t do” 😂😂😂😂😂
I actually had a boss tell me that once... once... I told him "ok, I'm going to need to see you physically demonstrate how to do it because I have no idea how", he told me no, and I told him that is my answer then because I'm not doing it without him demonstrating it first so I know how it's done
Yep, just like every boss. I gotta go do some "paperwork" so I can't do the hard/hazardous jobs I'm telling everyone else to do. I'm going to go sit in my office and "do work" with the door closed and locked (and even pull down the blinds if they have them)........... I'm agreeing with Ricky on this one.
I've been roofing for 44 years. I also ride fence and maintain structure on a horsefarm and sell Christmas trees. I am forced to work in all kinds of weather. Actually, the best time to find to find a leak is when it's raining. But lightning and aluminum ladders don't mix. Thunderstorms are for go-go bars.
As a longshoreman in CA... We work until the wind alarms go off on the cranes. When the wind alarms go off you were just watching a load up to 75 tons be blown around in the air. I am sure the employers argument is if we are under the crane during lightning, it should strike the crane so we are safe.
Working in a similar profession, we are flat out told that if it’s lightning, you shut EVERYTHING powered, weedeaters and blowers and mowers, off and stay in the trucks until it passes… however long it takes
My old job told me "You can't move inside to sales, you just want to get out of the weather. You're just scared." It was down pouring, thundering, and lightning. Needless to say I don't work at the scum hole anymore.
I work for a civil engineering company in Florida. One time my supervisor and I dragged our equipment (20ft collapsible metal augers) through the woods for it to started raining, I didn’t even get to start my first hole before lightning started and I’ve never seen and super/manager nope out of a job so quick! My boss never cared, if it’s thundering just sit it out or come back and do lab work.
as a kansan i always find it funny that it never fails when theres tornado warnings and watches in the area, my wife and i find ourselves going to pizza hut. its almost become a tradition now.
And I bet you probably pop up your Doppler radar on your phone, and see where the storm is going to hit and go in the opposite direction. I’m right there with ya, I’ve done the same.
Yesterday dead ass in Batesville Arkansas lol. My dang dogs was trippen lol kept getting notifications saying Lighting 1.2 miles away and could hardly get to gas station because it's so FLOODED AND had to drive to Mountain View in that crud for my dang Dad
Bossman tryna get me out there, I'd pull some world class bullshit level math like what's my chances of getting struck vs how old I am vs my annual pay stick it at a solid 1.5 years pay in advance after you raise my pay by $5 an hour Mr bossman one way or another this job ain't gonna be my problem anymore lmao
Roscoe’s face was so priceless with that lightning hit
lol "oldschool way" yea he got there by NOT fucking with the equipment during lightning storms :D
War time flashback went through his mind...
You can see the old ass gears in his head turn and clunk as he understands that between the excavator, his hip replacement, his knee replacement, and his back brace, he might as well be running out there with a 10 foot copper pipe trying to get struck by lightning

When Roscoe agrees with Ricky, the situation is serious.
thats true
I was dead at "Bitch, I ain't going out there!!"😂😂
Sounds just like my old boss trying to get me to do something similar.
I'm the kind of boss that will work through a downpour but the moment we hear thunder or see lightning then it's everybody in the shelter

they already did lol
th-cam.com/video/eBGIQ7ZuuiU/w-d-xo.html
I'm hoping for 1 year intervals.
Don't bother the man with demands to release a specific video, let the story play out and just enjoy the ride.
And have it play in with safety man waiting on a parking spot lol
pt3 Yes, Rickey is secretly the owner.
As a Californian, I 100% side with Ricky. I watched 2 small dams give way after all the rain we been getting
As a North Carolinian I promise you nobody gives a shit
Damn. You guys getting all the fun. Been three weeks since I got my 4x4 muddy. Been pretty dry in Florida.
@@johncormier646 We are having freeways flooding and tornados
@@johncormier646 it is spring time soon enough you can set your clock to the rain again
That's because California is terrible at literally everything.

What about another burger?

Edit: I live just an hour or two away from you and yeah, it got nasty! We were putting a roof on my house... Needless to say we stopped quick!
I was wondering...I was about to say, damn ol boy, them effects were on point
At end where it's clear 😂 but was funny as hell
a case of beer and two weeks paid vacation would prolly give Ricky enough motivation LOL
I was going to say a week's paid vacation lol
@@Wkyliving yeah, that might do it for me too
He is the owner. Why would he need two weeks of paid vacation.
Love that I can see clear skies through the window 😂
But yeah, I get this in my soul.
I would point out that I've still had thunderstorms where that was the case... but your point stands.
I hate clear sky thunderstorms..
It’s the south. Our weather is mixed.

*tornado sirens intensify* *shop roof flies off” Ricky…. gonna need you to go get that equipment
The way he rolled with the weather and lights flicking, very good.
“You know where I’m gonna land another company” I’m dead.
Almost to 1 million! You're the Boss man EVERYBODY, well most everybody, would enjoy working for...and with.
Good grief the number of episodes here that mirror an exact conversation I've had. Lol😂
Hey bro just recently found your videos. I am hooked been binge watching for 2 days Roscoe is my fav character.i haven't actually laughed out loud for so long.appreciate you keep it up bro
Look up the 2 Ricky is the boss ones... Make sure u watch pt1 first.
There isn't one video I have not laughed so hard!
Roscoe is definitely the I can do it but I'm not doing it if it's stupid mentality
Welcome to the fold.
LOL! Keep watching your videos and I just keep on visualizing actual coworkers I work with that are damn near perfect matches to so many examples given!
After having to drive through that mess today, I'm 100% with Ricky and Rosco. Not happening. 😂
Shout out to all you lightning rods... i mean lineman that have to work in that shit. Kidding aside not nearly enough respect is paid to y'all for what you do, thank you
Never seen Ricky hysterical like this XD
When he said, “Bitch I ain’t going out there!” I giggled my head off 🤣😂🤣 I had to watch it again for that and Roscoe
I literally woke the neighbors at 04:15A.M.😂🤣🤣then bossman dissed the assistant
They had me at "that is literally a moving lightning rod" I cant stop laughing at that lol.
The boss man stays inside and sends his men to their doom, great management skills 😁
Sounds like the boss man could be the next CEO of Walmart
Ricky: What will it take ? A miracle, or a Faraday suit !!! I just look this way, I ain't stupid !!!
I love these characters lol. Ricky was me when I worked construction installing street lights.
Ol Ricky's like bi** I'm not going out there 😂😂😂 you are killing me 🤣🤣🤣
I already know he had to have quite a few takes to nail those lightning strikes… we appreciate the dedication my man ✊🏼👏🏼😂
It's called post production... editing in the lightning strikes is simple even if you go to TH-cam University for adding effects to videos.
Hmm interesting. I clearly dont know anything on the matter. This was right after a very serious storm, so I just assumed the lightning was real. So no chance that it was real and he waited for the strikes for us? 😂
@@BMcC78 .
@@BMcC78 or you can just record during a fucking storm…. 🤷🏼♂️ it’s easier than editing the bullshit in.
I was waiting for a "What's that spinning black cloud that's lowering towards the ground doing?...."
When the hail starts coming down sideways and you gotta spin the equipment to keep from getting smoked through the open sides... 😂
The fact that you funny ASF😂🤣😂🤣and you're attentive to other lifestyles gives these skits life, to me. You are on your way to acting, more and more and I can tell you NOW, TP(IYKYK)ain't got nun on you, muh boi.
That was awesome 🤣🤣☠️. Sounds like our dispatcher with the rolloff trucks it's just a little rain you can drop that box lol
When he said land at another company
I lost it!🤣👍
The look on Ricky’s face when the thunder hit lmao
Lmao Ricky sounds like my husband when the weather gets like that and he is up in the Crane. My husband is a crane Operator 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That pause to let the half minute thunder roll by
Well Ricky is thinking about a pay raise , there Boss Man.
Moral of the story: When thunder roars, get indoors! Great PSA.
Pay all of Ricky's child support want even get him out there.... GREAT ONE...LOL
In the WORDS of my
CUZN…you got me
FUCKED UP🤣🤣🤣
Great work. Love the videos. I bet your genuinely a good guy
HAHAHA!!!! Ain't nobody want to get that equipment! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ricky: Triple time for the whole day boss man, then I move that equipment for you!
Oh my God I have been in those conversations before too damn funny 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Roscoe gave a moment of silence for the fuck that just died. Right after that lightning strike and thunder rumble. Lmao.
I was waiting for Ricky to tell the safety man to go move it
Boss man….step up son. 😂😂😂😂😂well played.
I love everything about this! Joplin Missouri we get some of that and I work on grain elevators😂
That is a terrifying job. One spark, BOOM!
The only time Ricky and safety man agree.
This is probably the only time I have EVER liked the safety man!
Dude needs his own sitcom
If Robot Chicken was able to make it, then this surely would.
The new guy clearly needs the money. Send him
As a guy who works outdoors for a living I can totally relate to this video from Ricky and Roscoes perspective 😂😂😂
When your power cut out, keeping character with Ricky, almost died while eating!
It's called Adobe After Effects... i.e. post production. Are you that gullible?
Rain, sleet, or shine. But fucking with lightning is how you dial 11 after the 9.
Working in northern Michigan. Most jobs don't have power when we show up! Some don't have it when we finish. Most mornings and n the winter when we start are in the single digits. And they don't end much higher

I totally love this one.❤❤❤

videos are so funny....

2:07. I love how the lie he told was so massive and blatant, he had to pause to fully accept this was the line he was going with.
His face tho 😂
Lmao hello from Florida woman!! Lmfao we were jumping on our trampoline during our last hurricane 😂
I actually just left Crossett AR today long before the storm got there. It did follow me to Memphis.
Funny as hell. The only thing better would be Ricky being forced to go and a video of heavy equipment getting hit with lightning!!
Just make sure you're grounded Ricky, you'll be fine!
I mean he did ground a sink before so there is that. Lol

Welcome to Arkansas. If the weather doesn't get ya the mosquitoes will.😂

Something the safety man should have stopped is the one time he offered to help put someone in danger! 🤣🤣
Rain no problem
Lights in the sky…my ass is off the motorized lightning rods
Yep, just like every boss. I gotta go do some "paperwork" so I can't do the hard/hazardous jobs I'm telling everyone else to do.
