Friend of mine managed to get his old man out of remand by giving him work on the crew, after a few weeks of the work he said "F this, I'd rather be in jail" and back he went. Definitely not the most motivating thing I've had happen on the jobsite...
God love you Stan. I absolutely love the person you are and the kindness you show the world. Every video I can see more and more of who I should have been in your videos.
I have watched your videos for years now and I love your channel you talk about not judging people I was for years I was battling a drug addiction for years but now I can say I have been clean since September 17. 2022 but people still judge me for my past but don't judge people you don't know what they are going through just wanted to say thank you for what you do and you have a great day love from west Virginia ❤
I used to believe in giving people second chances. I hired a dude who had a bad reputation around town. The trouble started one day when he decided he was going to appoint himself the foreman of a job we were working on, even though he had no idea on how to use the equipment and he also wanted me to do the task that I assigned to him. When that did not go well, he told me he quit and wanted me to drive him back to town and also stop at the bank to pay him. I ended up dropping him off at a bus stop a few blocks away. About six months later I heard that he pulled a knife on his parents because they would not give him money. He ended up in prison for that.
Very true, Stan. Every one of us is fighting our own battle. It’s why I do what I do, for fun. It’s an escape from everyday life and struggles albeit a very temporary escape. Every little bit helps, and that also underscores the need to surround yourself with good, solid human beings who without any doubt will lift you up.
You’re awesome, Stan. I love the videos. I grew up poor too, but God is lifting me out of that. Thanks for all the info, and entertainment you provide. God Bless you too!
That's a good viewpoint. Everyone is struggling. You can't judge everyone by their past. All you can do is give them an opportunity to make their lives better. What they do with that opportunity is what you have to judge them with...
I had a guy from Mexico in the 18th St gang who had fled (don't know why) from California to Texas. Really nice guy. The only person I ever knew who always told me the truth. We were good friends. Scary moment when we argued about something and he came at me with a sledgehammer. Nothing I could do except stand my ground. He saw that and stopped and dropped the sledgehammer. Kinda weird. Gang member on the run. Most honest guy I ever met. Came at me with a sledgehammer. Good friend. Life is weird.
We had psych evals in the military that looked for the “ok, do I get to kill somebody” personalities before being approved for special training / action items, lots of that out there. Be Safe Out There
Good morning, Stan! OMGOSH! That's how I made my kids! Too much!🤣 The only problem I have with grinding stumps is the sink holes that appear a few years later, when the stump amd roots that are left behind and buried, rot away. I've had to dig up sod, fill the holes with soil, tamp, add more soil and reinstall the sod, only to repeat the process some years later. Stump grinders certainly have their place, but now if I have trees removed, I dig up the stumps. Thanks for another great video. Have an awesome day. God bless.
I worked at a crane company and the mechanic put gas in a diesel engine! Than another guy his dad was a mechanic and filled up a diesel with oil till the filler oil was full! Scary
I relate , And today ! Self made and retired 15 years early now . I was laughed at as kid and a teen working 3 jobs and runnig a small setup of my own inwhich ive employed around 4 others as independent contract workers with there own employees and i did what made me happy! People still laughed at me but whos laughing now!😂 because i had no EXSPENSE labor laws paychecks insurance in volved and sub, out the work was on them . I asked for hire to provide a service, not as employees! Big difference .and had my hands in alot of trades . Paid my taxes for myself.! Everything else is all independent workers just a service not employee.
Dude wasn’t scary, but he was a character. And a great teacher. Jack was a hardened alcoholic. He’d put back a fifth of schnapps every night. He used to claim he was related to the guy that invented the maxon lift gate that box trucks use, one thanksgiving he went on a bender and showed up to work the following Monday visibly shaking. Another time, he was driving one of the trucks and clipped the mirror on a parked car. Dude was a trip, but at least he was laid back. I knew him 15 years ago, given the shape he was in the last time I saw him I’d be shocked if he was still alive today, but I’ll never forget that crazy geezer
My dads residential construction company in columbus oh. He hired a guy by the name of Al. Al turns out was legitimately a crack head. He is the reason i cant climb a ladder to this day, nj. I was installing a gutter with al about 25' up him on one ladder and me on the other. He started shaking the gutter while i was holding it. Then jumped off his ladder(25ft) and ran over to mine and started shaking it yelling woooooo woooooo for about 4 solid minutes.till my dad showed back up and got me down. I just couldnt get back up on the ladder or a roof. Oh and he sounded just like macho man randy savage, and resembled him. Wizard with a car too
I worked with a guy who came to work in sub-zero weather in shorts! I knew something was off with him. Another worker was roommates with him and one day he disappeared and the other worker had to move out because he wasn't on the rental agreement. About three weeks later, we heard that he stabbed his girlfriend to death. 😬
Stan every contractor has had an employee like that if you're in the business long enough. Sometimes, you don't want to know their past or what they do on their own time. As for the stump grinder, tell Zach next time to work from the front of the stump grind to depth back grinder up an inch or so then grind to depth again repeat many time's
Yeah Stan... I never told you this but I do moonlight by utilizing my 'former' life skills from the Marine Corps and other dark ops jobs that I've held.. And yeah, I just got a call from some guy said he was 'Razor!!!' Just sayin' man.... Cheers buddy!!! Kapper
As soon as your started the video I already knew who you were talking about. 2 years ago when we had dnner together I asked if you had chain link in the bond fire you did on the water up north. lol
Worked with lots of those type of guys over the years , retired laborer in construction. The thing that makes them scary is they have no problem doing dumb stuff and the effect it has like going to prison where a normal person doesn’t think like that because they don’t wanna go to prison , imho . Any man is capable of extreme evil I think just look when you get drafted into the army during war times, enough said.
I had an employer who was scary, always drunk and he actually drove his own skid steer into a pond not just once, but twice. He also wanted me to fill up his RED jerry cans with DIESEL, I quit soon after.
The first part of your story was convincing. Frankly there’s nothing reckless or dangerous about putting a different kind of fuel in a jerry can other than the fuel its color signifies that it was designated for. Most competent people could smell the fuel and know the difference.
@@brandon18054I'd be willing to say that most people don't sniff the gas before putting it in their machine. That's more of a recreational activity. 😂
First time I took my son fox hunting one night I told hiim. Now you want to be quiet and don’t want to move when one comes in. So one comes in and stops. I tapped him and whispered. You see him? He shook his head no. I said over there. Still didn’t see. Then the lit up eyes disappeared. He never saw him. I told him you should’ve leaned over so you can see around the tree. In my boy said well dad you told me not to move. I said you’re right my son. Guess we gotta come up with a new protocol lol
Yep, there's a reason why it's called a dead man switch. In the event you pass out for whatever reason, then, at a minimum, will stop moving towards you after you fall from passing out.
Can’t say anything on this subject because I’m a lot like razor. I know a lot of things about many subjects and pressure points. If you catch my drift, I try never to fight, but I’m not the person you want to try backing into a corner by any means I just prefer that whoever is bothering me just walk away that would be the best for everybody
I'm all for giving people a chance but knowing someone's history is frequently an indicator of their default behavior. People can change but frequently don't.
Just a heads up. Never say gas up a diesel engine. Fuel up a diesel engine and gas up a gas engine. Kinda your fault but employee should have double checked for sure. Have a wonderful day and go get em.
And you think you had it rough..... Try having a disability from birth and have everyone tease and bullying you your whole life..... I am 48 and still fighting that battle. I HATE people!!! I love to come to the top to breathe some day.. I don't wish anyone harm but KARMA is all I can say....
Sounds like Razor was full of useful information.
Especially nowadays I’m gonna keep that body in the river advice you never know
“That’s how I made my kids, pump it twice!” ROTFLMFAO Stan!!!
God Bless you Stanley. That last minute of the video made my day 👍
Love to hear it 👊
Friend of mine managed to get his old man out of remand by giving him work on the crew, after a few weeks of the work he said "F this, I'd rather be in jail" and back he went. Definitely not the most motivating thing I've had happen on the jobsite...
im so glad im not the only one that get these people working for you
I have been watching your channel for a while. I wanted to thank-you for not holding a persons past against them. God bless!!
That just wouldn’t be fair or right to me
God love you Stan. I absolutely love the person you are and the kindness you show the world. Every video I can see more and more of who I should have been in your videos.
You are too kind, thank you for that

Right back atcha 👍
🙋♂"go get em" watching from Ireland.
Awesome!

You are so welcome
Have to say i like your little peace of wisdom advise.
Thank you 👍
...very groovy, Stan! ...not to judge anyone by their past, but to give them the opportunity to be the best person that they can!!! : )
It’s important 🙌
That's how I made all my kids 😂😂😂 that was a knee slapper hahah
Words i live by , wish more people would too...much love from sudbury, Ontario, Canada...❤
Rock on!
Stanley, you are the man, and God you, too, Sir!
So y did u fire him , or are u still afraid he will retaliate
Razor is the guy you keep off the books, pay cash and you have for a rainy day.😂
I've had my fair share of scary employees lol. It happens in an industry desperate for help. Keep up the great work
You too 👍
That's a good viewpoint. Everyone is struggling. You can't judge everyone by their past. All you can do is give them an opportunity to make their lives better. What they do with that opportunity is what you have to judge them with...

Life is weird indeed. Glad he didn’t use it 😅

Your the man Stan!!
God bless you 🙏 everyday sir
Thanks man and you too
I just got off the phone with Razor, he wants his job back with back pat NOW!!!
Art from Ohio
🤣👍👊
You are so right. God bless.
👊
Your attitude is why I'm a fan.
Appreciate it brother

GOD BLESS you as well and that's why I like your videos so much your character.
Hey stan i believe the same about treating people, another question have or would you do a review on a badboy zero turn, and what is your opinion
As Rush used to espouse all the time “words mean things”. 😉
I worked at a crane company and the mechanic put gas in a diesel engine! Than another guy his dad was a mechanic and filled up a diesel with oil till the filler oil was full! Scary
What the heck are you talking about
I put DEF in my diesel one day when I was tired. Cost me 10k.
Wow that was a touching ending and I totally agree with you 👏,!!
We are all working against our struggles; help others fight.
True that!

Crazy geezers make for good memories that’s for sure
Razor might interpret "go get em" a bit diffrently. Though even that type tends to apprechiate honesty.
Razor should be a character next season of Fargo
Legend has it razors running the stump grinder 🤣🤣
Nice one Stan. 👍👍🏴🏴
Cool ending.....blessings to u as well
👍
Thanks Stan
We had a guy but diesel in the hydraulic oil tank of our bobcat skid steer his reasoning was “well the diesel cap was locked” true story
Oh my god 😂😅
My dads residential construction company in columbus oh. He hired a guy by the name of Al. Al turns out was legitimately a crack head. He is the reason i cant climb a ladder to this day, nj. I was installing a gutter with al about 25' up him on one ladder and me on the other. He started shaking the gutter while i was holding it. Then jumped off his ladder(25ft) and ran over to mine and started shaking it yelling woooooo woooooo for about 4 solid minutes.till my dad showed back up and got me down.

"Pump it twice so it stays nice." I can dig it.
🙏🙏❤️❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸🗽🗽 God Bless y'all. John V. Mi.
Amen, that's so true Stan 👍
Thankfully no... But I had a neighbor once part of that same gang that scared the hell out of me.
I worked with a guy who came to work in sub-zero weather in shorts! I knew something was off with him. Another worker was roommates with him and one day he disappeared and the other worker had to move out because he wasn't on the rental agreement. About three weeks later, we heard that he stabbed his girlfriend to death. 😬
Yeah F that
Great video brother.👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸
I was locked up with a guy who was verifiably in the mafia. He was in for executing a rival. Hell of a nice guy though.
Stan every contractor has had an employee like that if you're in the business long enough. Sometimes, you don't want to know their past or what they do on their own time. As for the stump grinder, tell Zach next time to work from the front of the stump grind to depth back grinder up an inch or so then grind to depth again repeat many time's
If only zach would listen 😂
Yeah Stan... I never told you this but I do moonlight by utilizing my 'former' life skills from the Marine Corps and other dark ops jobs that I've held.. And yeah, I just got a call from some guy said he was 'Razor!!!' Just sayin' man.... Cheers buddy!!! Kapper

Amen Brother!
👊
Back with the rants
11:51 what’s the point of the safety screen it’s a couple feet to narrow all it’s protecting is Zak’s hands
great word
welp my foreman went to prison for robbing three banks lol idk if that counts. dude runs a crew like no other but boy his history is sketchy
Yep, there's a reason why it's called a dead man switch. In the event you pass out for whatever reason, then, at a minimum, will stop moving towards you after you fall from passing out.
I am not intimated by scary people, how much scarier can they be than me? Not many people shave with Chainsaws.
great video

You’d be surprised. For example, Frankie proves you wrong
Wow. 2 videos in a row that wasn’t the other crap. The good ones he use to make
Hire slow and fire fast. Some people interview great but are terrible employees. Some people interview horribly but make great employees.
Who else thought this video was about Frankie?
Frankie is a saint! At least now he is lol
You mean Rented not borrowed yaya. Aloha
Razor sounds based af
Pretty sure I am that guy at work 😂
Lmao at least you know
Funny how Biden ads pop up when I check out Stan's videos...
Just a heads up. Never say gas up a diesel engine. Fuel up a diesel engine and gas up a gas engine. Kinda your fault but employee should have double checked for sure. Have a wonderful day and go get em.
I was the scary employee lol
GB & GG’m!!!

7:52 did you run a red or did it turn red as you got to it ?
Are you a narc?
And you think you had it rough..... Try having a disability from birth and have everyone tease and bullying you your whole life..... I am 48 and still fighting that battle. I HATE people!!! I love to come to the top to breathe some day.. I don't wish anyone harm but KARMA is all I can say....
Where you embarrassed because you were poor or POLISH?
Little bit of both
Thanks Stan
