Firstly, I'm very glad this was a happy story. Secondly, I saw the title and realized how long it's been since we've heard from you, and was so worried about your health, thinking you were the one to have a heart attack...I'm very happy that wasn't the case.
She got off pretty easy. I guess she had an "open mind". I had to go through a comatose. Only about 6 weeks. But, yeah. I'm (180) different, and I like it better where I am. you say "how come God didn't learn you that, without putting you in the wringer"? Answer: It wasn't possible. I had a sealed heart. She didn't, she got off easy.
Early enough, you might see this. You are an example to all managers everywhere. You have singlehandedly made me consider septic work. I plan to get a CDL and work for my local septic. Septic tanks are, what I consider, the best option for waste, as long as they're maintained. And gross barely comes up in my diction. Thank you.
Dude! You can't disappear for 2 months and then have your comeback video title start, "A Heart Attack...." I'm like, "HE HAD A HEART ATTACK OMG OMG OMG!"
Being unhealthy is expensive... Being healthy means going to the local bike shop and spending all the money you have now on a shimano Di2 carbon bike. (I work in a shop. Can't tell you how many people come in looking to get fit and how many stick with it and end up with 3 bikes we maintain on the regular).
Love this story time!! It really is food for thought! I was happy when I got the notification about your video! Proud of mama,sending her lots of love,light and positivity!! 🫶🏻
JAMES IS FINALLY BACK!! Great story as usual, however one caveat that I would like to add is how UNAFFORDABLE OUR COUNTRY MAKES EATING HEALTHY!! I am a nearly 40 year old disabled combat veteran who also happens to live here in N.C. (Eastern N.C. more specifically) as I have for over 15 years since I was stationed here. I am 5’6 and I weigh between 175-180 lbs depending on the circumstances. I have gained a slight gut over the last few years because I am limited as to how much physical activity I can handle. Being a disabled vet I also live on a very fixed and LOW INCOME. Which makes it quite difficult to eat “healthy”. Yes I try to eat salad (I only like Cesar salad) and I just recently started taking a multi vitamin to help get some of the nutrients I am missing because I am somewhat picky about I like to eat. The UNCOMFORTABLE TRUTH is that our government DOESN’T WANT PEOPLE TO EAT HEALTHY AND LIVE LONG PROSPEROUS LIVES!! It’s much better for them if we eat unhealthily and die younger. That’s why they make it so much easier to eat fast food and cheap quick meals like frozen foods and stuff. However for some of us that’s kind of our only option under the current communist REGIME due to the INSANE PRICES OF EVERYTHING!! Yes ultimately it’s an excuse but it’s also a legitimate one right now!!
Thank you for your service. I'm sorry to tell you but the government does not directly control the prices we pay for food. We live under a capitalist economic system, not communism, that means the companies from which we purchase our food set the prices we pay. The supply chain problems caused by the pandemic gave suppliers an excuse to raise prices, so they did. Because of greed, they never lowered their prices even when their own costs went back down. We're currently paying overly inflated prices for our food due to corporate greed, not communism.
@@thestrange_1 Boy do you have a lot to learn about how we're in this mess we're in! First, our food (in the US) is largely GMO and/or full of preservatives and other chemicals which make us fat and sick. Then they advertise all these prescription drugs on TV. Ever hear about foods (fast foods in particular but quick snack items you might pick up at your average store) that don't spoil?? Or that bugs will walk around rather than eat? Ever read those labels? What are "natural flavors" anyway? We shouldn't be using seed oils or vegetable oil or margarine for cooking. We need to buy foods from family farmers who do not use corn or grains on their animals! We need natural fats (butter or coconut oil or olive oil), not fake ones! Why are people fatter now than in any time in US history? These chemicals! Look at photos of people from the 70s and earlier! Hardly a cow in the bunch! We've been lied to about nutrition as well as being offered poison. In many countries, the chemicals used in our foods are BANNED outright, and they are much healthier in comparison. The inflation we've been experiencing was planned. "They' intend to starve us out by attacking farmers. Check out what happened in Idaho recently.
@@MegaMagicdog a lot of what you said is true. But I think you may be mistaken about the "they" part. The family farms you'd like to have feeding you are being run out of business by factory farms controlled by large agricultural corporations. Ever heard of Monsanto? And if you're wondering why we're fatter (as a population) now, it's because of the mass introduction of high-fructose corn syrup into our food supply. It replaced natural sugar in many products over the decades due to the artificially high price of sugar in the U.S. which itself is due to import restrictions designed to help domestic sugar producers. Fructose (found in corn syrup) has been shown to light up the portion of the brain associated with hunger, while glucose (found in sugar) lights up the portion of the brain associated with being satisfied. In other words, high-fructose corn syrup makes you want to eat more. That junk is in almost everything that we think of as "processed food". Why you might ask? Because the corporations that produce our food don't care about our health, they just care about their own profit. And our business-friendly government (both parties) are happy to take all the campaign donations these companies throw at them to keep their gravy train running.
@@MegaMagicdog You can blame the government all you want, but it probably will not change until the group of people/voters who think that the federal government cannot do anything not expressly written into the constitution change their minds. It can be very frustrating because a lot of the time these same people ask why the government lets stuff like this happen, but they do not seem to understand the connection.
Ain't seen a vid from you for a while, wasn't sure if that was RUclips Ass-Hattery, or if something had happened to make you quit making vids. I searched for you but only got old ones. I dig listening to your perspective on business, work ethic, maintenance (septic system or otherwise, domestic violence/harmony, crime, now health. Glad to see a new vid.
Thats one hell of a story 😅 I've been pumping septics for a bit now, never really considered the correlation between the home owners health and the state of the system, now I've got something new to watch for 😂
Glad to see that not only are you concerned for the health of your customers, but that you thought enough to share with us..... .....but I'm still gonna eat the tasty food.😉😂
James!!! Is this really the latest video??? Are you okay?? Everything good??? Or are you just too busy getting another license or credential? You've created this monster audience ,us you're so damn good, and now it's time to FEED THE BEAST!!!! 😁👍💚
Last time the place im at had the septic emptied in 1991 and had it emptied in 2021, i did the digging that took a week and found two lids. If its brown flush it down, if its yellow let it mellow. I usually burn the toilet paper in the burn barrel. Great story and great presentation
i agree people abuse their septic systems tub shower water washing machine water and toilet water with only pee and poop only goes into my tank. TP in the trash. use dish washing and rinse water to water garden flowers and veg. all dishes get scraped in bucket with all grease and leftover cooking waste and thrown in the bushes.
Great to see you again, been a while or I've not been getting the notifications ! See we learn something new from you every time. I wouldn't have gave that info a second thought. Guess all my Twinkies will rat me out. 😂❤❤❤
It's true. I made the mistake of allowing a "friend" to move in. This guy is at least 100 pounds overweight and has been described as "oozing Cookout" (Cookout is his favorite fast food place). I had to have my septic system pumped twice in the 2 years he lived there. For a variety of reasons, I asked him to leave and he moved out. It hasn't needed a pumpout since. Since I last saw him, it looks like he's gained even more weight. Fortunately, I won't be the one who was to call 911 because he had a heart attack.... (Oh, for demographics: The guy is a 47 year old Virginian on medicaid and SSI)
I'm so glad to hear from James. I always take the best videos I've seen of late, over to my dad on a flash-drive. And the other time he's like "whatever happened to to that septic guy". I'm all "what you talkin bout, septic guy??". "You know, that guy, owns he septic pump business". "oh, I' ain't seen any of his, of late". And now, James is back. cool.
Thank you for the life advice. I watched your video about your “A” team and “B” team and the pay differences as a result of their drive to better themselves and it really helped re align my perspective on work. I could ramble on for a while but I’ll just say, again, thank you very much for the reminder to find that drive again.
Glad to see a new video! I was wondering if you had stopped making them! Glad to see that's not the case! As for Momma, if there is that much TP in the septic tank, maybe suggest a bidet attachment for her toilet. This will also save her money as she wont have to buy as much. It also gets you cleaner. I swear by mine!
On the other hand, cooking and preparing your own food take time and energy that someone who's already not healthy just won't feel like using for dietary improvement. It's a bit of a vicious cycle.
As a recovering opaite addict (2yrs sober) the amount of damage that opiates have done to my digestive system is astronomical. Its extremely unhealthy to go up to 3-4days without eating just mostly liquids n goin up to 2wks at a time without a bowel movement is terrible. Also having chronic diseases like rheumatoid arthritis n fibromyalgia they just toss drugs at you never telling you how much diet n digestive health contributes to every known disease n when you fix that the dieseases esssntially have nothing to fight not even itself. Take care of your gut n your butt lol
It’s bad for business when you tell people you don’t need to come back as often😂 but kidding aside I enjoy the wide variety of topics you get yourself into
James, excellent! Being healthier is cheaper and something else, being kind is, too! Turns out these states trying to make being homeless a crime, they're finding that out. 👍🏼😂💙💙💙🥰✌🏽
you know, sometimes the great lord has to come down and check personally on some people, get them a stern talking to. Sometimes it doesn't stick, im glad this one did.
Man I’m met some people different sizes, hoarders and met some racist people, beening an apprentice and some ladies hit on you but it’s a very good trade to learn
Part of the reason why I had a stroke was because almost every meal I had was deep fried from a truck stop or fast food joint combined with Mad stress....... don't do that......
James and company are doing okay. I called. They were stupid busy before the storm and are currently trying to catch up. Asked Heather to tell him that RUclips called bc we hadn't heard anything anywhere for two months. Hope things go well for you, James. Miss you being here :)
Firstly, I'm very glad this was a happy story. Secondly, I saw the title and realized how long it's been since we've heard from you, and was so worried about your health, thinking you were the one to have a heart attack...I'm very happy that wasn't the case.
I thought the exact same thing. I was like "Damn! Is this why we haven't heard from you?". I'm happy he's still healthy.
Agreed, it's been a few months. 🤔💞💯💞
Same here. It's been a super minute.
I bout those the same thing
Good information thanks 😅
This dude is smart and cares about people. We need more dudes like this. And less fats, oils, and greases. 😊
Less excess in diets.
Vital amino acids and vital fatty acids are a reality we cannot escape.
No such thing as a vital carbohydrate.
You are absolutely wrong. We don't need more people like him. We need to BE like him.
Need help with meats fast foods.
Sad that she had to go through what she did to get healthier. But glad she's getting better!
At least she took it as a sign to change for the better. A lot of people take it as a sign they are indestructible and won't change anything.
She got off pretty easy. I guess she had an "open mind". I had to go through a comatose. Only about 6 weeks. But, yeah. I'm (180) different, and I like it better where I am. you say "how come God didn't learn you that, without putting you in the wringer"? Answer: It wasn't possible. I had a sealed heart. She didn't, she got off easy.
That's a tough lesson to learn but its great to see her turn her life around
Early enough, you might see this. You are an example to all managers everywhere.
You have singlehandedly made me consider septic work. I plan to get a CDL and work for my local septic.
Septic tanks are, what I consider, the best option for waste, as long as they're maintained. And gross barely comes up in my diction.
Thank you.
Wishing you every success with your new career! Good luck 🍀👍
Go lady, go! She should be so proud of herself for making those changes!
It isn't easy either. Doctors don't always tell you straight anymore because of body positivity crap now too.
Dude! You can't disappear for 2 months and then have your comeback video title start, "A Heart Attack...." I'm like, "HE HAD A HEART ATTACK OMG OMG OMG!"
I thought he had a heart attack too! Thank goodness he’s ok!
Happy for Mama!!!! Way to go girl. It is not easy to make a life style change like that. Kudos
Being unhealthy is expensive... Being healthy means going to the local bike shop and spending all the money you have now on a shimano Di2 carbon bike.
(I work in a shop. Can't tell you how many people come in looking to get fit and how many stick with it and end up with 3 bikes we maintain on the regular).
Yeah! Great to hear from you!
Hope all is well in your world James. Missing your real life stories.
James I hope you and your family are doing well after this storm
james, joining the chorus in letting you know you and your staff are in our prayers
This video should be a PSA
Miss your videos, James!
Good Luck In Ashville N.C.....I hope you're Good,and Alive....
Hey, it's been couple weeks I have been checking your channel for new videos.
Thanks for posting
And congrats to the Mamma!
Glad you back Marine.
Great message James! Also a good and happy story.😊
I imagine you guys are busy after Helene hit NC. Looking forward to more of your content.
It's amazing how you treat yourself affects so many other things in a similar way.
Congrats my mama (by proxy). You doing good. Cheers to you brother, keep up the good work.
Praying that you and your family & friends are safe during the current conditions 🙏

Been a while…I’ve missed you. You have such a delightful way of telling a story.
Glad to have more content. Thank you for sharing.

He runs a small business and has mentioned working a whole lot of hours. Plus I have to imagine there is seasonality to septic work.
Please post more man, love your content here on YT. Hope all is well with you!
I stopped drinking coke every day in February this year, Ive gone from 265 to 230 i feel better to, now i need to quit smoking
Congrats, good job
I quit drinking Cokes about 12 years ago
Didn't do a thing for me
But I'm not going back to drinking them

This is like a doctor's visit... The healthier, the fewer visits needed / requested.❤🎉😊

Hope you're doing well after the storm.
Good for her. FYI. Vegetable oil is only soy bean oil.
Often that's the case, but it can also be rapeseed/canola oil or made from other plants.
Wow, I never thought of that. Eating a low-ish fat diet, plant based, I bet our septic system can go another year or two.
Hope you fared well through Helene. Hope to hear from you soon.

I always wonder about the septic systems of the competition eaters. That has to be a nightmare.
What is a "sugar cookie"? Good to see you via the RUclipss again
Definitely the kick-in-the-dacks I needed today.
Much appreciated
If you Google sugar cookie you'll find a lot of recipes. It's just a type of cookie.
@@squiddwizzard8850 I'm an Aussie. We call them biscuits, or bikkies.
I will look it up though 👍
My septic tank is full of filtered beer. LOL
Ain't it the truth. I'm on a crash diet and if you eat less you shit less--less tp; less water use and smaller grocery bills--much smaller.
James, excellent! Being healthier is cheaper and something else, being kind is, too! Turns out these states trying to make being homeless a crime, they're finding that out. 👍🏼😂💙💙💙🥰✌🏽
How is being kind cheaper?
So grateful to the septic man for giving me solid life advice
Was wondering where this fella went
you know, sometimes the great lord has to come down and check personally on some people, get them a stern talking to. Sometimes it doesn't stick, im glad this one did.
Good Businessman, Great Man.💯
Are you ok after this storm and flooding? Please let us know you’re alright. We care about you!!
It was very nice to meet you at that sub place, hope you enjoyed your sandwich sir
2 months and no videos are you OK mate? 😢
Hey, I know you're near Asheville and I just thought I'd ask to see if you and your family and your employees are okay
Good for her. She should somehow communicate how she changed her eating habits so other people could possibly benefit.
I haven't seen your videos in a while, welcome back to my flow.
Very good, right on brother
Really missing you james hope all is well
Alright, was this woman just pouring her old oil down the drain instead of trashing it properly or was it really a waste byproduct?
Great job mama!!
Man I’m met some people different sizes, hoarders and met some racist people, beening an apprentice and some ladies hit on you but it’s a very good trade to learn
Great food for thought
"I eat healthy to save on plumbing, and no other reason 😂"
Hope everything's good. Miss your videos
Wondering how your doin brother, hope your stayin safe over there.
Bro, make more videos. We miss you.
Very wholesome ending to a story
Ive missed seeing your videos pop up on shorts
Part of the reason why I had a stroke was because almost every meal I had was deep fried from a truck stop or fast food joint combined with Mad stress....... don't do that......
James and company are doing okay. I called. They were stupid busy before the storm and are currently trying to catch up. Asked Heather to tell him that RUclips called bc we hadn't heard anything anywhere for two months.
Hope things go well for you, James. Miss you being here :)
I never would have thought about that 🤔
I love F.O.G.😁 Thanks for the video. Been a while.
Good evening
I know it would be inappropriate, but I wish you could give Mama a big hug from me! Keep up the good work. ❤️
why are we not getting videos any more???
