I'm 25, I've been in construction for 7 years, this should basicly be a job training video
i am 65 and worked in some sort of construction for many years and never saw anyone close to that tacklebox character. that personality simply does not do actual manual labor but prefers careers like hair stylist or office manager. not that all who do that sort of work are anything like this guy but generally fluffy guys take on fluffy jobs.
have you run into these type workers on job sites because if you have not then it makes no sense using a training video of people like that.
@@paulk5311 this is every employee from “turner construction” (general contractor) that has ever existed. Who TF tells electricians to use scaffolds because ladders aren’t safe?
@@paulk5311 it’s a generation thing, all unions even oil fields up here in AK make EVERYONE stretch or you leave the job site
I learned more from this than any of the hundreds of site training videos I’ve watched

When he suggested the first aid kit I thought he was going to tell him to get the electrical tape. By far the best bandages on the job site.
Seriously. Itll hold better than any bandaid out there
That 3m duct tape holds better
Duct or tuck for me
All I ever use anymore
Been in construction 20 plus years electrical tape 100%
Every crew I worked on, there was always a "you just go sweep something" guy. Like they didn't want him to lose his job but he couldn't really contribute much lol
I’m not paying you to just stand around
99.9% of security guards including myself
Tackle Box is an incredibly underrated character
he would not last more than a day on any job i ever worked at. we don't have girly men do construction around these parts.
@Disposable Email sooo true...
We call them 'Starter Pack'. They have the bare basics but nothing else...
@@paulk5311 Sounds like an incredibly toxic work environment. You should be ashamed of yourselves.
@Disposable Email only cause they excuse themselves from doing any actual work
"No, we don't even have a first aid kit" lmao fr
When things were at their very worst:
2 Suns, Cross in the sky, 2 comets will collide = don`t be afraid - repent, accept Lord`s Hand of Mercy.
Scientists will say it was a global illusion.
Beware - Jesus will never walk in flesh again.
After WW3 - rise of the “ man of peace“ from the East = Antichrist - the most powerful, popular, charismatic and influential leader of all time. Many miracles will be attributed to him. He will imitate Jesus in every conceivable way.
Don`t trust „pope“ Francis = the False Prophet
- will seem to rise from the dead
- will unite all Christian Churches and all Religions as one.
One World Religion = the seat of the Antichrist.
Benedict XVI is the last true pope - will be accused of a crime of which he is totally innocent.

"The time for the schism in the Church is almost here and you must get prepared now"

roll of towels, and tape. boom good enough
He should have gone to his Subaru and got the one he carrys for such occasions.
We've got one in the trailer that I'm pretty sure expired before I even hired on.
We had a first aid box that we kept tape and extra pencils in. Nothing else. Super glue and e or duct tape fixes most injuries.
Electrical tape, an electrician’s best first aid kit. Literally used it on Wednesday.
I’ve been at a job where it was mandatory to stretch before work. It was worth it just to watch the old timers moan and groan trying to reach their feet. Oh God, I laughed my ass off every morning.
I have to stretch every day, it's funny finding out who's been drinking when we have to stand on one leg.
Every time I hear "electrical tape" it makes me think of this how-to channel that gave really bad advice. He said it's called electrical tape because it conducts electricity. 🤣 Can't remember what the channel was called but it was pretty good if you understood it was a joke and not actual advice.
@@xMattBinghamx I can always tell when an electrician has used tape, and when someone else has. It’s an open secret.
The normal and most common use of tape is wire pulling. Especially on bigger wire, like feeds. An electrician will always start the wrap with the tape backwards (sticky side facing up) and then flip the tape so the sticky side is down. That way, when you’re removing the head, the tape doesn’t stick to the wire. They’ll also give you a buddy tail, when they’re done wrapping the tape the spin the tape before tearing it so you can grab the tail to start undoing the tape instead of trying to find the end.
Of course, you can use tape to safe off live conductors of lower voltage, but that’s not common unless the electrician knows the the conductor is inaccessible and/or temporary. The better way is to wire nut the conductor and tape it so it can get knocked off easily.
Lastly, tape is used to mark phases. A phase black, B phase red, C phase blue. There’s other color codings (orange for a high leg, for example) and wire colors to mark other voltages at a glance. It’s why you’ll see brown, orange, yellow, and gray in like hospitals, to mark 277 volt lighting circuits.
This is a thing? People are actually mandated to stretch? XD Been a framer for 15 years and never seen that. Granted, I work in residential. Tell you what though, doing CrossFit regularly has saved me from injury on the job more times than I can count.
@@drew5334 Yeah, on some jobs. It’s usually an insurance thing since you get less back injuries, pulled muscles, etc.
I used to mock it, but even I had to admit I wasn’t needing Aleve after pulling feeders for 8 hours straight.
I was the new guy, then I was crew, now I'm the super, and I can say the key to being a decent super lies between these two points. Be supportive, instructive, lead by example, and make relentless "thats what she said" jokes and dish out nicknames like there's no tomorrow.
That's more than 2 things 🤔
@@2wheeleddemon999 i meant the two points represented by the characters in the skit
I'm very fortunate to be able say that you basically just described my boss.
so there are leads that doesnt just sit in the warmed up truck when its 23 degrees outside?

@@melissamele1305 don’t feel bad, it just goes to show how good of an actor they both are
I was the FNG on a rigging crew and got distracted for 5 minutes while they were lifting i-beams. When I finally show up to help, they start calling me Blister, "cuz you show up after all the work is done" lol
Hats off to Tacklebox for not giving a shit what people think.
Based Tacklebox lives by his principles
@@StarboyXL9 Actually lives by the most site rules haha
Pretty sure he's just oblivious and obnoxious. He's the classic narcissist that wants everyone to think exactly like him or else they should be censored.
@@BornIn1500 I think you’re projecting some shit onto the character because he clearly doesn’t force anyone to do anything. Even when thrown he just wants some kind of consequence instead of straight up firing.

At 0:45 he pulled a maneuver called the safety squint.

Works every time, almost.
AvE fan I see
Haha yup, along as the slit in your eyes is more narrow (or close enough) than a sliver
that new guy's got some balls speaking his mind about what he thinks is right. Respect.
I had an apprentice who was late one day because his dad forgot to wake him up 😂😂😂😂😂😂
We never let him forget that, the entire job site knew about it 😁
I had one late because there was snow on his car. What a surprise, we live right on Lake Erie and it snows all the time lol.
I once had an apprentice get to work, and while still in his car parked in the parking lot, texted me to say he wanted to go home because he was "too tired". He then drove away.
@@PeopleOfCorinth as an apprentice I apologize lmao
"Did your dad wake you up today?" 😂😂😂😂😂
I'm a Maine lobsterman and I have a cousin give my uncle the excuse for not showing up because his girlfriend used his lunch box that day he was supposed to be at the boat at 5:00 she was supposed to be at work at 6:30 😂
I work for a gutter company, and the caulk joke was very relatable😂
Any one who works with caulk has to hear that shit every damn day lmao.
@@BOSS7871 😂
Sounds like y’all’s minds are in the gutter!
Every time the caulk is pulled out, a joke is made lol
@@riderofrohan8840
LOL, I asked my boss one time if he had any black caulk, I made sure not to say it like cawk, but the other way. Ha!
I’m a 23 year old apprentice electrician and I was real disappointed to see this dork had the same knee pads as me lmfao
The San Francisco slippers as I call them lol
@@tylerrosborough9566 yes!🤣👍
Rooks with knee pads, an electrician at that. These jokes write themselves lol.
You should wear them on your elbows. Try to be original.
I’m older, never needed them before … knee pads are awesome. Can even let the wifey borrow them!
I did construction in my early twenties. I lasted a week. Later on, got a CDL and became a truck driver. A whole lot easier for me..Much respect to you guys in the field. 🤣
@Rollie55 Fired. I was useless. Lol
@@charlesshepherd2004 hey man, least you tried and I can respect that lmao
@Rollie55 🤓 Live and learn.
Better than I can say. I always wanted to work blue collar trades out of high school. Applied for a ton of places but never got hired because I didn’t drive at the time. Ended up in a downtown office environment now I’m white collar and it sucks.
It’s really not that bad
I like how old school is basically angry and unsafe... like it's cool to make fun of safety procedures on a job site until you lose a finger a toe or mangle your arm... then all of a sudden it's like " I can't believe this happened". Also I have chronic back pain and I really wish I stretched more lol
Yep. But it's missing being tired all the time and being an alcoholic.
I was in my way to get there but then I quit construction work.
10 years construction, not an alcoholic, hate safety. Never been hurt
@@niceguy6837 Good for you. Now what about all the "hate safety" people who ended up severely injured?
Not being safe increases risk, but it doesnt make the chance of injury 100%. The point is to reduce that risk as much as reasonably possible.
Just because you personally havent been hurt doesnt mean you wont be in the future, and it doesnt mean other people havent been hurt doing the exact same things. If you arent following safety guidelines, then you're just being reckless and needlessly increasing your chances of a work place injury.
@@eragon78 safety sucks, only dumb dumbs get hurt
Thing I liked about working in construction is how the old guys basically bragged about their life being awful and not being able to do anything other then work.
Yeah, I only lasted 3 years in commercial electric. Got tired of being surrounded by miserable people, lol.
They constantly do that. So they feel like they have an excuse to bitch at you for not working like a slave.
@Ben Deigheau Nice
@@rogue5495 you quit with 1 year in your apprenticeship left? Or you just went to the service/retro side?
They weren't bragging, they were warning you.
All the old farts take pride in never taking time off, while also telling us about their MONTH LONG hunting trips in the 80 and 90s.
they don't take time off any more because they are avoiding their wives now
@@maxrice6990 true haha
@bronchoped1 exhibit A
Double standards much
Yep. What they really mean is they never missed a day of work unless they were sick, drunk, hunting, fishing or beating up their wives.
i worked in a woodworking factory during my gap year during covid. they were breathing in sawdust all day, they all smoked. they would routinely watch someone else ark without protection. they made fun of me constantly for wearing PPE. i’m 19. it was my first full time job. made good money though.
Let them mock all they want, then show up to the hospital and call them sissies for getting sick and laying down.
Yeah, soon enough they'll develop allergies to wood dust, brown lung, and/or cancer.
Exactly when I get some respect I'll be showing up in better stuff and show what saving money not smoking does alone
i worked with some guy who got EYE SURGERY, and two days later we were sanding an entire basement, there is no way he didnt permanently hurt his eyes. (he was the boss too, if he wanted to stay home he couldve) if people wanna be tough and take zero safety precautions, thats on them
Those guys end up living damn near forever
"You are valuable and I love you."
"Hold on a sec... ball and chain!"
I love that part😂
I misheard "Ball and chain" for "Balls on Chin" 🤣 same thing i guess
Old concrete finisher I used to work with kept a 4 pack of natural ice tall boys in the water cooler, he called them cold coffee’s
I knew an old guy who "needed to take his meds" (Bud Light tall boy) everyday at lunch
I worked with a welder who filled his thermos with straight whiskey and he would sometimes have it empty before lunch. One of the best welders I’ve ever known.

I worked with a concrete finisher who would chug a gallon of cold skim milk during the hot summer days.
The finishers I worked with would split a 4 pack of wine between the two of them at lunch. They always were in a good mood around 1 pm lmao
I grew up blue collar and went to college because of experiences with old timers like this. Although back then it was much worse.
I'm not sure the grass is greener, because on one side you work for thieves and liars, and on the other you work for your high school football coach for the rest of your life.
One thing I have found in the white collar world is that those of us who came from blue collar family backgrounds tend to find one another and stick together, and the other people often tell me I am too honest and direct.
Unfortunately, there rarely is a "happy" medium, and I find both cultures to be taken to ridiculous extremes as a point of pride.
The only thing I can say for myself is that I couldn't swing a hammer to save my life, but every time I mashed my fingers I kept working as soon as I was able to stop writhing on the ground in pain.
Because I didn't want to disappoint my dad.
I miss you, dad.
I don't know what it is, dude, but I could listen to Dave say "Tackle Box" all day. The way he says it is just so satisfying.
I thought it was just me.
You two are great together in this skit.
The funny thing is given enough time a Tacklebox character will be running any company, through attrition he'll eventually outlast everyone else.
I knew that was going to be a joke about soccer.
Me to and I was excited to hear it. We come here for a very specific type of humor.:)
I mean it's called "American Football" and not just "Football" for a reason, so no need for that strange term "Soccer" that no one outside the US uses
"Pretty sure we call him tackle box because he tripped over one on his first day" in construction that is so legit. When I worked construction, we literally had a guy show up on his first day wearing sandals, needless to say, his nickname was forever "sandals". It was fucking hilarious
Branded for life lol
We had a guy on our roofing job who was cheap and refused to buy proper footwear. Well one morning he slipped and fell off the roof while wearing his Adidas running shoes... Dude was okay but was named Adidas from then on.
Holy sh*t, I had a guy show up in flip flops one day because he couldn’t find his boots. Needless to say his nickname there after was “flip flop”.
That last bit...pure gold! Hahahaha
He reminds me of an engineer more than a new guy haha
The unfortunate thing is, most people won't understand the accuracy of your statement!🤣🤣🤣
Fuckin engineers.... they r like trade school, makes sense in theory but fuck if their real world approach isnt shit...
Engineers are the absolute worst - they always have a condescendingly irrelevant opinion on everything
actual engineers cut thier teeth being the ranking FNG as a laborer while going to school.
Silver spooned brat "engineers" dont know how to work a shovel.
@@zarthemad8386 True
Then he quits about a month in and the old timers complain they can’t keep anyone
Totally!!! This video is like why I quit framing lol
no one wants to work with guys like that. thats why.
@@lescj200 but the guys that actually know what the fuck they’re doing are the ones who end up staying in the trade and that’s why they’re angry...
@@christurgeon6277 oh im talking about the tacklebox guy😂 hate pansies like that
@@lescj200 okay some of it was exaggerated but what else makes him a pansie just curious
The best part.... "are you stretching?---Nooo... I dropped my....glasses..."
🤣
“Doctors ain’t cheep. Listen to the beep!” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
No matter how many times I watch this, I still laugh. Most people can't begin to know just how spot-on this is, but for all of us in the industry, we know...oh yeah, we know😆
This is accurate, and really well done,
BUT….
As someone who’s been in the trades since the 90’s, it’s really great seeing less injuries with the more strict safety rules. I saw too many people taken away in ambulances back in the day. It’s much more of a rarity these days.
To be fair we hired a 53 year old and he’s always stretching haha
In my trade, stretching is the best way to start the day. Granted I start my day with a smoke and a why the fuck is this tree coming down. I gotta start. Coming home and letting my 2 year old jump on my back to fix it is not it
Stretching is important, though it depends on what.
Smart man
A 53 year old stretching? Yeah, that's what you get when you hire the younger generation. 😉😁
Stretching should be done by all const. some companies it’s mandatory now a days, they need you and don’t want you off of work!!!!!
Newb: " shouldn't we stretch first?"
Me: 😠 "I got somethin' you can stretch!"
Your а$$ноLз?
So in other words you’re telling other dudes that you will let them tug on your tool. For free
*sigh* gonna pull myself on this one too ugh
“Oh yeah? Harness this:🖕” I spit out my water 🤣🤣🤣
The caulk-joke broke me, damn thats brilliant😂
I thought he was gonna crack a Buuuusssshhhh Light when he thought they were all gone. We do.
in all honesty I think safety glasses are the one single thing I do care about when working. I've nearly lost an eye so many times at this point I'm like nope not even testing fate today
100%. Same thing with earplugs and a respirator mask. I work in a pulse elevator and plant (so things like peas and lentils), and the noise and flying dust is something that many of the old farts like to claim you "just gotta get used to". Fuck that, I wear my mask, safety glasses, and earplugs when I work in the plant. I like having sight, hearing, and the ability to breathe without my lungs sounding like a carburetor from the 1960s.
@spamhere1123 I was active duty for 8 years and my back, knees, ears, etc are all messed up. My vision is the one thing I got left I'm not testing fate lol
You guys are keeping me alive with your humor!! Harness this!!
God I love these videos. Perfect length to watch while I eat on my lunch break. Makes my life 10x better
This applies to all blue collars jobs. Well done.
I’m 23, been working construction for 5 years. The transformation from tackle box, to the job site manager is the most accurate thing ever. These construction videos are hilarious bro!!
YOU GUYS ARE GENIUSES!! I’m in HVAC at 19 and I can garantee this is how my coworkers feel about me 🤣🤣
Go get the duct strechers..square to round transition? Use Grey duct tape,,,enough of it is stronger than metal.
Hahaha, bro.
Thanks for the laughs.
Absolutely brilliant
Had a helper that was break dancing through the aisles of a supermarket during a change out, called him Pop&Lock 🤣
Heck! That’s two talented dads lol!
"Doctors aren't cheap, listen for the beep"
I'm keeping that one, clearly a bar.
I think 20%-30% tackle box and 70%-80% Dave is the way to go.
lol this is exactly the way that it is
I am totally the new construction worker. Old timers can teach the young pups how to take a joke and not take themselves too seriously, and the new generation can teach the old timers that you don't have to be tough all the time.
Is it just me, or does the young guy seem way happier with his life?
It's so good to finally get to see and meet the infamous tackle box lmao 😂😆
This should be re named residential construction vs commercial construction worker. Tackle box is the typical cso on large sites. Ironically in real life tackle box is a better carpenter than Dave.
Meanwhile, in the Canadian, a Oilfield, we stretch. In fact, when I was working for a company every morning, they would lead a group morning stretch
When DUDE DAD walked around the corner, I lost it. AWESOME
“Doctors ain’t cheap, listen for the beep”
I mean, that IS true.
The part when the 'old worker' is caught stretching is spot on. This is funny stuff!
“I need my lawyer” (picks up phone) “dad?” Best line I’ve ever heard
“Go to the hospital then, KINDA in the middle of somethin’.” 😂😂
Also the only thing missing is a paper towel and electrical tape as a makeshift bandaid for the missing first aid kit
someone get this man some god damn sheetrock
The construction videos you do are the best. Always crack me up.
My dad works in construction, and this is just about accurate. Some of the stories he tells are great, like some 20 year old kid falling off a 3 foot ladder and actin as if the world is falling apart, or shootin a nail gun at some kid who wasnt working the job. Good times
I'm 25 in oilfield construction. We do hook ups and pipelines sometimes. And I'm both. The only reason I have any characteristics of the old gaurd is because my grandfather raised me and taught me the industry. We work together.
Every company owner got there kids working for them and usually they ant worth a shit
This video is Hilarious. And now I’m in the comment section in fkn tears 😂😂😂 what a great channel 👍
You "nailed" it!!! Lmao!!!
First aid kit? I think you mean electrical tape and a napkin from your gas station sandwich breakfast
This video is my life wow so accurate
Me and one older guy on my crew share the passion for stretching, I have scoliosis so if I don’t I literally shrink over 2 inches, and we both have different length legs so we know how to help eachother it’s great.
“He calls me tackle Box because I’m so well organized”
Never once in my life have I seen an organized tackle box
Could we stretch real quick😂
I'm trying to figure out how he finds these construction sites to film on 🤣
Absolutely comedy gold 🤣 👌
I work in construction this is dead on 😆
This has to be a Top 5 best skit on this channel😂😂
Hahaha. More like
“what the GC expects vs what the GC gets”
Love the videos!!!
Hey Jim u need some more caulk? 💀
Nice collab video with dude dad. There's all kinds of personalities working at construction sites. That was just two.
Honestly as an outsider. I see good in both Tackle box's saftey with the work ethic of "old" would be a dream boss. :3
Worked in construction when I was 18 - 20’. The money I made for my age was really fucking good. Left when I got a job for the state making double the money at less wear and tear on my body. Plus, I don’t have to deal with miserable dudes all day 😂
Been around tradesmen all my life. Went from a laborer digging ditches, fast forward two decades later a PM on federal projects and this is the most accurate for west coast house framer mentality ever lol. I didn’t see a waffle head recurve rigging axe on either of them….posers.
Over here on the east coast we have a name for guys carrying a rigging axe. A butcher and they have no business framing.
He's actually a concrete guy not a framer.
I loved this lmao the irony is simply beautiful 😂😂
F'n hilarious! Nicely done!
Love seeing the Midwest, “you shittin me?!” look. 1:09 mark.
Def thought he was gonna deck him at that point
I'm not a construction worker, but I've walked away from a few soccer conversations myself.
Respect
😅
These videos are hilarious 😂
Dave at least one showed up he’s already ahead of 90% of his generation
So glad I started working in the trades at 13 for my buddy’s dad, kept it going through college so no student loans. Now about to completely remodel and put addition on the house, and my daughter will be 13 and have to pick up a hammer!!!!
That is awesome, I wish I had that experience, I started a bit later than you
I started one of my sons with hammer and roofing nails at 20 months. One of our favorite family memories is, " Mo nails, Mommy, mo nails!".
Unfortunately “new construction workers” don’t last very long. The only way to become an old construction worker, is to be like all the other old construction workers.
Old construction workers are just survivors of excessive drinking and rain-out 8-balls.

Had a union guy work with us for a while, first real job outside of the union. I was arguing with my supervisor about 30ft up the scaffold on how to properly setup the last bit of the build. Our union boy freaked out and started screaming "I can't work like this! Fuck you! Stop yelling!" etc. No one was even talking to him. My super then proceeded to talk shit to him and he climbed down, took his shirt off, paced around, grabbed all his tools, then took an Uber home. Wasn't the first time he freaked out while me and my super argued about a build. Lol dude couldn't handle conflict at all even when it wasn't directed at him.
I've been in the industry for 23 years and this could not be more perfect lol. This should be played at all new hires orientation
Love seeing material from ABC!
I've worked in construction since I was little with my whole family and now I'm in a construction trades class at 17 and I gotta say some guys know what they are doing and get the job done while others suck at nailing headers💀
