Counter-troll, if your boss tells you to get a sky hook, go rent a crane. You had approval, after all.
Theirs actually a sky hook.
I’ve seen it on the job.
Alternate counter-troll: say, "Sure! They stock those down at [name of local pub], right? I may be some time."
Or just take a break for 15-30 minutes and relax then come back and go /Goofy voice "Ahyuk! I couldnt find it sir!!!"
You ever just come across an internet community you didn’t even know there was a demographic for
What do you mwan
That should be the slogan of half of the subreddits
@@spacecthulhu296 hahahaha
someone tried to send me to get a metric crescent wrench, but i found one LOL
They exist! Craftsman had one with a scale in millimeters on it so you could see what size it's set to.
@@michael.a.covington mine is metric on one side and inches on the other. so no matter what I send a kid for I can flip it over and tell him it's the wrong one.
You know that exsist because someone else got sent to get one and they got tired of looking for an uninvented tool just to not be guilty of not paying attention. He knew that day would come for one of you guys.
I just realized a cresent wrench is adjustable and metric or SAE is arbitrary here
@@thecommenter7068 right. and the size marked on them is the overall length of the tool. - which all new ones have marked in SAE on one side and metric on the other.
There's imaginary tools in every job. My great-aunt was a nurse (retired 1997) and she and other nurses used to send in-training nurses to find fallopian tubes (nurses used to learn through an apprenticeship, with no school involved).
Apprenticeship???? Wild.
@@Ariccio123 yeah, I was shocked when she told me too.
@@MysticMyths here in Germany it's done still. And nurse for hospital and retirement home are different job trainings.
Both are 3 year apprenticeships though. Honestly I wonder how you learn things like stabilizing a patient or lifting them at university!
@@Metalhammer1993 the have clinical placements every year as part of the schooling, school is for learning the meds and anatomy stuff. When my great aunt was training there was 0 schooling at all.
Imaginary tools would never work with me because whenever I want to learn something real real bad, I never wait till I enter a formal training situation to start learning because I always see my responsibility as being to help myself learn --- and I help myself learn by getting every little bit of information I can get so that by the time I enter a training situation I am already basically informed so that I would rarely --- if ever --- fall for stupid things like fallopian tubes and skyhooks. Besides, if you wait till your first day of so-called apprenticeship training to start your learning, I would question your true level of commitment to your learning because, like I just said, people who are really serious about their learning will help themselves learn without lying back and letting others "do their learning" for them. Anyone who approaches learning like that is much like the alcoholic who expresses his determination to quit drinking forever come New Year's Day --- but he can still take just one more sip since it's only 11:59 PM on December 31.
That maniacal laughter from that sewage job was gold!
Man, that guy could make money selling the audio
Oh yes; nice demonic laughter from the pit of hell.
9:26
That’s not the “dirty” job he was talking about when he recordedhimself Lubing it up all sensually like that with the music Roger😂😂😂
I'm sure Roger did get that joke same as the Jonny sins parody xD
That imaginary tools thing would make me paranoid if i was a plumbing apprentice
Same lol, the fact I'm already really trusting and gullible wouldn't help either
Always liked asking people to go get a long stand.
@@philipyates3194 ours was either a left handed crescent wrench, or a metric crescent wrench.
Sometimes, you get to have fun with it. I was an apprentice electrician in a Navy shipyard for a while, where one of my cousins also worked as a welder. One of my early days there, I got sent to go grab a conduit stretcher by the two guys I was working with, because the conduit we had wasn't long enough. I knew what they were doing, so rather than going through the whole thing, I just headed over to the shop my cousin was working out of, and talked him into working with me on a counter-joke. You should have seen the looks on their faces when I got back an hour or so later, and apologized about only being able to find them a short one, while handing them what was, essentially, two quick release pipe clamps welded to a C-clamp.
@@coyoteseattle a guy told me a story of a second LT, in the air force who sent a greenie to put three yards of flight line in the trunk of his car. what he didn't know was that the greenie had grown up on an airport, knew how to run a front end loader, and had little patience for smartass junior officers.
in short, the greenie won the game.
The guy gagging over the smell, that would b me. I can deal with puss, blood, guts but when it comes to human feces, sight or smell I can't handle it.
Hey I had an amazing manager with the same same as you!
Try having to deal with the smell of stomach acid after someone threw up for 2 weeks.
Im an ex opioid addict, looking for what i should study to get work, your videos got me intrested in plumming, now looking for a school. Im 35 yrs. Sorry if grammar is little sloppy i live in finland.
Stay strong no matter how hard it seems to be at times know... you can do it
1:40 the best one i have seen was when my friend got sent to buy a new bubble for a leveler
You can buy those though. They are like 50 cents each
@@MrPicklecopter just the bubble, not the cylinder the liquid is in
@@bjornthorgudmundsson2781 if you don't specify, you get the vial and can't complain that I didn't get what you asked for lol
@@bjornthorgudmundsson2781 Well, you can buy cylinders of air, so you can technically do it.
6:50 That is the basement swimming pool. It is heated with the waster heat from the water heater. Eco friendly.
5:46 Guarantee you the previous owner of the toilet was a criminal. Flushed his burner phone to try and hide or destroy it.
Or they had kids. My buddy and his wife lost about 5 phones thanks to a child's innate desire to flush important things down the crapper.
I'm from Norway, and my only connection to plumbing is these videos.
I’m from America and my only connection to plumbing is these videos.
At 4:35 anyone else see that old screen saver of those crazy coloured pipes going everywhere
Roger: ”Yeah I bet she could handle a pretty big pipe too”
Me: *cause of death: laughter*
I swear I didn't know plumbing RUclips was gonna be full of raunchy jokes.
I'll glad I found Roger
@@ZakkandtheJ that’s all trades are bruh
I thought it was funny that the “dirty” joke went right over your head. You even added the Marvin gay joke before it.
Roger is too pure for this Earth
Roger! I have watched several of your videos and a new sub! I have been a plumber for 15 years and have enjoyed every minute. Your videos are spot on and have gave me the ambition to try and start my own. Much love from Iowa! Keep up the good work!
You know what that’s OK. Because in the army I got sent to find a box of grid squares and winter air for tires. If the plumber sends me to go get fake tools. I learned my lesson I spent all day looking for them, because you still have to pay me
its probably the real initiation. if it was found out you wasted the day on purpose becuase you were sent to look for a tool the didnt exist, you probably wouldnt have a job long after if thats your attitude,
ROGER!! your videos are great, very informational, I like most of your material, a little long winded but thats to be expected from a long timer, keep on plumbing!
I had a Home Inspection business until a few years ago. The most fun I ever had were the slides that ASHI home inspectors would share during meetings describing the anomalies found!
I didn’t even realize how early I caught this Video... love the content keep it up!
Same
@@chuwee3835 same
I love that the first meme went over your head 🤣
Robert Baratheon: Get the breastplate stretcher!
Roger Wakefield: Get me the imaginary socketwrench!
"Protect that washer and dryer"
Pretty sure they are about as wet as their gonna get.
He meant the electrical.
I worked as an oil change tech for quite a few years and we were next door to a smog shop. We had numerous new guys fill a trash bag with exhaust and take it next door for a pre-smog inspection. After the first one the guy next door started printing out reports to bring back.
Got recommendat that channel last week an can't stop watching ;)
Like that charismatic Guy
4:06 buddy still laughin lmaokk
In my days working at a pizza shop, we used to send the newbies into the walk in fridge to get a dough patch kit. :p
9:44 "Right there that needed to play a little Marvin Gaye 'let's get it on...'" HAHAHAHAHA
Thank you for another video. Happy Thanksgiving.
The floating water heater reminds me of an old well I came across. I was building up blocks on an old well pit due to water drainage issues (entire ground around the pit and house was wet clay) because I was called out to do a couple things around the property. Was half full of water with a submerged 2" pump and tank. Mentioned it to the homeowner. Handyman from another company that was working on the house comes the next day and drains all the water out of the well pit, calls it good. Pit filled right back up with water and stayed like that for a good week until the homeowner called me stating the handymen didn't have running water. I came out to check it and the entire pit was full of water! Tank and pump floating at the top with half of a pump housing broke off and frozen solid from the cold weather. Handyman didn't bother checking because they were too busy giving this poor homeowner the runabout.
My dad and a few of the older guys he worked with doing mill shutdowns would send the apprentices to get the bucket of heavy water from the foreman...
Which was a metal bucket always full of water that had a lead plate in the bottom.
Why is this So funny omg
Sometimes the simplest things work best lmao
This channel is growing so fast!
We use to send people off to get imaginary items in the Navy.
How long could they spend in their bunk before they could come back and tell you they looked all over but couldn't find it?
my nub is still looking for the batteries for the sound powered telephone
This Was so funny . Your reactions are priceless
Watching from Portugal, keep going!
So what is the first thing you need to apply for plumber job?
Years of experience? No...
Good trouble shooting talent? No.....
Training? No......
.
.
.
.
.
Strong Stomach?
.
.
Yes.
There will never be a guy with a better mustache than this guy
LOL He said it's the "dirtiest job a plumber has to do" because he was making a sexual joke. Just like you started saying he needed Marvin Gay playing. 🤣
4:03 Objection! Who wouldn't gag at that?!
It takes a special kind of person to be a plumber, I know I don't have what it takes to do that job. I'd be puking like the first guy. That's why my dad has to clean out the septic filter when it needs it, he has no sense of smell.😂
alright, that set of pipes fit into that box in the guy's new house, that was a thing of beauty.
The one with a lot of "eye" candy going on is nice, but hate to say it
You are right about valves,they get real hard to turn off! Hope there is some kind of filtration system before
That manifold?
good job keep 💪💪it up im following you from lebanon 🇱🇧🇱🇧
left handed Allen wrench or the metric adjustables
Lol I just got a job with a contractor he tried to get me to go find a left handed hammer (I grew up around mechanics) so I got in my truck wentto town and fucked off for a few hours then came back and said I couldn't find it they got a laugh but I got a paid break 😅
RUclips is the only place where a plumber can become a celebrity for plumbing
Rodger keep the good work from Vancouver Canada
Hey Roger love the videos. When I was an apprentice (hvac-r Ontario Canada ) I was told to get the duct stretcher. I thought the guy was trying to fool me like being told to get the pipe stretcher. A duct stretcher exists. I got told off really bad. Lmao thing back to it.
In case you were wondering, the people in the sketch video about the plumber cleaning the lady's pipes are Mikaela Pascal and her boyfriend, Jack O' Shea, both former employees of Fine Brothers Entertainment (FBE) and their associated RUclips channels, including React (now called REPLAY).
You know, normally I don’t enjoy plumbing but... he makes it really interesting.
I install office furniture, my old boss told me about a wall stretcher he told someone to find for him a few years back. The newbie spent about half an hour trying to find it before finally going back in xD
This reminded me of a situation where due to covid my scout group isn’t meeting so we are doing a load of upgrades and repares and how when it came to the plumbing aspect I got the most important job of stopcock and mop as the electrician leader tried to repair a bit of plumbing before realising that the pipe had cracked and that they brought metric fittings for a section that was imperial (the hall has a mixture of both metric and imperial plumbing)
A bucket of steam is always a classic. Can't tell you how many of my apprentices I got with that one
4:48
Me when I try electrical or plumbing in video games
4:30 windows pipes screensaaver
Snipe are a real species of bird known for being hard to hunt, this is where the term sniper comes from.
1st meme be like: "Virginity is cool, remain pure"
The god dam long wait got me as an apprentice hahahahha.
telling someone to get fake tools spans into the kitchen trade too aha XD telling new people to get the ice mix and then them coming back going "huh? I couldn't find it." then telling them you meant water is great
I love this man
I worked with the family construction company ,my first day we were putting sanitary sewer lines in and they got me with the pipe stretcher.... was in the conex for 15 mins... yea they got me good...... lol
Love asking apprentices to grab the pipe stretchers and the flux compassrator lol
my dad has a case of sending an aprentice to find a left handed screw driver, barsted FOUND one on the market. spotted paint doesnt work any more cos now it exists.
hello from ausy land
2:38 I'm sitting here mentally screaming "STOP, sit a bucket under it and let the pressure drain off!"
Somehow I think they didn't consider that option. (clicks play) yup.
years ago while working for a generator company I was on a service call for a unit that wouldn't stay running. The power was out and the unit itself checked fine. The problem was it stalled each time you tried to power the house. (somehow overloaded?) Went into the basement and there was very little connected to the panel so that part seemed ok too. I flipped the breakers off and figured to find the offending circuit by elimination... one at a time. Started the gen and found the well pump was the culprit. (so I thought) I asked the guy where his well tanks were and he leads me to a covered pit out in the barn / garage. The pit was full of water, the tanks had become air bound, and with 10" of rain last night plus no sump pump while the power was out. All of the tanks floated, ripped all of the pipes, and yanked all the wires too boot. Looked very much like your shot except the water was deeper and there were more tanks involved.
Oh dang I'm early lol
Great video btw
8:26 good lord that freaked me out for a second that's the last thing I expected to see skipping ahead in this video. She's basically known as the grudge/Ju-on lady, I'm a 24 year old man I'm not afraid of the dark, snakes, heights, ect but she's one of the few things that still freak me out.
That’s why you take a hammer every time you crawl
4:55 it's like building something out of legos for the spare parts bin
I CANT BREATH! hahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahaa
6:15 and he thought his service was crappy before
How do you get your podmic to sound so good from that distance? I have a podmic and as soon as I move an inch away from it.
This man has the best beard ever +1 best beard of the year.
Skyhooks are real, they’re used in rock climbing to hook yourself to a lip for a minute while you set up proper anchors. And yes I own one, and yes I brought it on the first day of my training and first day on site, along with a tiny decorative glass hammer that my uncle gave me, and a tube of KY for when I was told to go get the “air lubricant.”...there’s advantages to having an old school joiner for an uncle.
Working in the OR, I would send people to find an Otis Elevator...
my brother was a wards man and would prep patients for surgery, one surgeon wanted him to steralise, glove up and hold the patients hand, but my brother be smarter than the average wardie
Gotta give props to drain techs. Those guys deal with some of the worst 💩 imaginable.
@4:30 that is one big fustercluck of Fitings
You almost got me
ill be on the subreddit toooo ty for the channel
Imaginary tools are part of any trade. As a tank mechanic full time for the Army National Guard, we would mess with the weekend only newbies mercilessly. One I saw (and saw a video on YT of it) but never had the heart (heartlessness) to do it, was to get very new guys to check the armor for soft spots on an APC. You give them a hammer and tell them to tap the side of the APC and when they get a certain sound mark it with an X. Of course if you're tapping all over you're going to hear a different sound from time to time. You'd see these M113A2s with chalk Xs all over the sides. Always felt bad when I saw young newbs doing it. Come to think of it though, I never told them to do it, but I also never told them to stop. 😉
A buddy of mine did it to an lt down range on his last deployment and they found an armor deficiency in the Vic. So it sucks but sometimes it could help save a life.
Some poor corporate "franchise" plumber needed to meet a quota on pipe sales on that clusterf**k.
Nah he needed the sales on fittings! Pipe is cheap compared to some fittings
@@miket5506 pretty much the same concept then, but s/he still made mint on the parts sales.
I had a boss who made me look for a non existing tool. I said I'd be back in a minute, instead I took off and never looked back.
When I started as an hvac tech a sheet metal guy sends me to get the duct stretcher I'm like Yaya ok there haha. Turns out there's such a thing ahaha
I do everything to my house... Everything but work on sewage pipes. I'll happily pay the big money to a plumber to take care of that. Y'all deserve more than you get for dealing with that crap
The bucket under the cleanout is in the dictionary under insufficient, the tshirt over the face and the pipe wrench are a bonus
What is some advice you would give for someone looking for a plumbers apprenticeship?
Austin Sprinkler Fitter here, love your content!
More fun than a jungle jim
That copper pro press is such a mess!!
This man does not look like the kind of man who would have a youtube channel instead of a TV show about motorcycles
So me and my father are plumbers and when I started plumbing here in California. My father told me a stories about how he used to tell rookies to grab his "wood stretcher tool" tool from another contractor. Only to be told that another contractor has it and pretty much waisted half there day looking for a tool that doesn't exist. 😂😂😂
I mean no offense but going on you're subreddit crushed my dream of being a plummer.
I think he’s in the wrong field if he’s constantly gagging at sewage.
But he ain't in the field
yeah guy even said he was an electrician
This video got me to subscribe
I don't do plumbing, I never was nor I am interested in plumbing, and until I found this channel, pipe was a pipe for me - black magic. Now I still don't know much about plumbing nor I am interested in it, but at least I am able to recognize what pipe is what and make small fixes. So...thanks.
Gotta learn to handle the smell man 🤣
A sky hook absolutely does exist, it's what the hook on ur circular saw or bandsaw is called... so u know u can hook it on rafters when ur working..
‘’What kind of service does he get now?’’ He gets some shitty service😂
3:29: Those electrician pull cables are called FISH TAPES..
4:30, Now we know why copper is so expensive. It's all in that guys basement...
I used to think not having a sense of smell was a curse then I became a plumber
I send my new apprentices to get “ RDX “ ROCK DISSOLVING COMPOUND. This is hilarious! If the can’t find it! Send them off to the supply house! LMBO!
