Laundry aide at an old folks home that used washable diapers.... Carts and carts of used diapers sitting in the Indiana sun waiting to be sorted, remove solids, and industrial dryers... Rough job for $4.85 cents an hour
In an alternative Universe, Bill Burr and Joe Rogan are both senior carpenters and really good friends that go to a bar every Friday to talk and hang out living an average life.
What makes me laugh is these guys are actually describing the combined three weeks of their lives that they actually did real jobs, I'm 20 years into this shit and I don't have time in my day to fly a helicopter, I definitely fucked up
I have 6 kids and I work nights at a retirement home and my husband is a cattle hauler . I couldn't be happier!! I don't want to do half the job you man have to do ! No thank you ! Hats off to all you men doing the crazy dangerous and hard work . Thank You!!
Yeah, it's only some women who think that. I mean, I'm sure it's not easy at times, I know me and my siblings were a handful, but the very hardest job? It's a hilarious bit.
The replies here just show that men can also be sissies. Bill Burr is awesome but he also attracts men who bitch about not receiving the attention they think they deserve.
Exactly why it’s fucking easier. You don’t even feel it!! The job of a women taking care of a baby is constant attention, and feeling the terrible 2’s as you clean it up.
My father did heavy construction work for 35 years. He went up on bridges, did demolition with Bosch jackhammers, made cement, carried cement bags 6 to 10 stories up because a lot of the buildings he worked in were old and had no elevators, pulled support beams that were 80 to 100 pounds with a rope up those same buildings from the roof 10 stories down. The man's legs, traps and arms were freakishly big when he was in his 30's because of it and he never worked out. I tried it and didn't last 1 week. Bill's right. It is a gift. Not everyone can do it. My dad can still do it despite being almost 60 and retired.
Exactly. Joe didn’t get it. The mental and physical stubbornness to go through that over and over again and not listen to your body aching but just getting it done is a gift by itself
Bags of Portland Cement weigh 100 lbs. I was a Block Tender (Hod Carrier) for 2 Masonry Contractors moving 5-7 tons of material a day, Worked for a General Contractor for 5 years, 2 during college in the 80's. I've been a Elec Enginerd at a desk for 30 years and owned a Consulting Firm, just retired and in the last 9 months i've put laminate flooring in the master bdrm and painted, put metal roofing on 1/2 the roof before the rain started, enclosed the 24x 10 back porch to make a breezeway with insulated walls and glass panels, remodeled the 2nd bathroom and painted 3/4 of the house exterior. and now i'm getting ready to finish the roof as the rainy season is almost over. I'm 63 and in the best shape of my life, but yeah my flipping back hurts. but the key is always spend the extra money for a good, comfortable pair of solid work boots and protect your feet.
At 11 years old I started helping my father in our crops we are from Greece and we have olive trees peaches and almonds I have been working whenever I can help him and I am grateful to help my father I am now 18 and I can say all that work has paid off physically and mentally
At 16y/o I worked for a tree removing service. Stacking logs, dragging branches to the chipper, and climbing trees with a chainsaw. My back hurt every day and I could not seem to eat enough food.
Did tree work for 3 years and now work for the same company just doing yard maintenance, Bush trimming and more artistic pruning on small trees. I loved treework alot but I knew i couldn't do it long so I got the hell out. Danced with death a few times and learned alot.
All those reuploading channels should take a note out of this guy’s book. He doesn’t just lazily screen record videos and uploads them he actually makes the effort to make it unique and interesting. Hats off to you
Seriously Roofing in summer is the hardest Job in the world, every shingle pack it's like 80 pounds. Heat above roof level is 15 degrees more for every story, and you have to work while slowed down by a rope that gets stuck everywhere, and tile roof... Omg is like walking on a stove.
Worst job for me was when I was 20, spent the entire summer working for a guy on my softball team who owned 7-8 properties and a barn in my town. Spent every day busting ass, hauling washer and dryers in and out of units, mulching and weedwacking, painting and samding, just about everything you can imagine for grunt work. At the end of the summer the rest of the help had left, and the barn got rented out to a new tenant. I spent the last week taking all of his old shit out of there piece by piece, and cleaning the entire thing out. Wouldn’t even entertain going back the next summer, but I’ll never forget the life lessons it taught me.
I operate my own fence installation business that I started 4 years ago and I do it all on my own. Dig the posts holes which often involves crowbarring/jackhammering through rocks and tree roots then set the posts with 20kg cement bags that I have to load then unload myself in +40 degree Celsius heat and +90% humidity during summer. I love my work and it keeps me strong and in shape and will earn between 2k to 6k per week, depending on the size of the job. Big jobs pay better than the smaller ones. It took me 3 years to develop my business to the point where most of my jobs are from referrals and I can pick and choose the best ones. I will continue to build fences until I physically cannot do it anymore. I AM 50 YEARS OLD...
Toughest job I did was working at a call center. Labor is physically hard but can be really rewarding as well. Customer relations jobs are mostly just soul crushing.
Fuck customer service. I worked as both a csr for Comcast in 2006 and a mechanical engineer for the navy. I wouldn't wish either job on my worst enemy.
Yeah, I dug ditches for a bit, and at the end of the day there was a big hole that wasn't there that morning. It's nice feeling like you have done something.
I worked in an oil rig in west Texas, the complete opposite to what Joe talks about. During summer you have to hide from the sun and the heat. I lasted 9 month and it felt like a big accomplishment.
I did labor jobs for years after High School, but seeing what the older guys had to go through and hearing stories about how they got injured I knew had to get out of it as soon as possible. Not only does it destroy your body but there's very definite ceilings on how much you can make. Add onto that all the medical bills you'll be paying later in life and it isn't worth it long term. I do think everyone, man and woman, should have to do some shitty labor gigs early on in life though, it really gives you perspective and an understanding of who you are and what you want. The worst job I had was at a steel yard right after high school. I was destroyed every day by the heat, labor and long hours. Like they said, I probably could have gotten used to it after a few months, but I only worked there for like 3 weeks and quit. Nearly having 2 steel beams dropped on me along with all the other potential injuries, with no insurance, there was just no way it was worth it.
Being a Forest Service Hotshot is extremely hard. Regularly work over 1000 hours of overtime carrying a 40 pound pack and a chainsaw. Work in the most challenging, steep, inhospitable parts of fires with 16 hour shifts with the occasional shift up to 36 hours straight. 14 days on with 2 days off for 6-7 months. Poison oak, bees, bears, the elements. It wears on you.
I was just telling my coworker about them because I used to work on supply trucks for them Surronded by fire the wind blow 1mph in another direction and you might die
Oof. That's the hardest job I've ever heard of. And I thought being a mechanical engineer working on 30 year old ship engine rooms pulling 16 hours a day and 12 on Sunday for 6-8 month stretches.
I worked rigs in Northern Alberta for 7 years and as a roofer for over 3 years. I take pride in being tougher than these two. But God I wish I was half as funny. These guys are legends and I'm glad they found their paths.
@@risanddanny92515 this message was sponsored by testosterone and toxic masculinity. but seriously why do you think that's even worth saying lmao. who cares.
There IS an art to carrying heavy bags... And furthermore, your body becomes muscle efficient and does it effortlessly for the most part... There is NO art at the beginning in anything you do...
I've been in construction for most of my life(my dad framed houses and I was cheap labor all through my teens). I own a building/remodeling company now and have for 20 years. I work hard everyday still. Im 50 this year.
Carrying shingles up a ladder when I was a young teen. Still have a labor job unloading trucks it takes its toll but I take pride in hard work n tradition knowing our dads dads were the real work horses feels like I’m one of few that keep it alive in a small way.
I did 9 years doing heavy green oak framing. Barns and bridges etc……ruined my joints at 35. Had to change industry because of lost cartilage in my hips, back and knees.
I used to work as a plumber and one job my buddy and I had to squeeze into this tiny hole under inside the basement. probably about 2feet by 2 feet, we were literally army crawling our way around belly down. And we needed to fix old rusted pipes, cut them and replace them. We were in there for 4 hours straight never once came out to breathe. Just in there working I came out and lost 10lb of water weight it was crazy how drenched I was. I remember thinking "this fking sucks, can I be a stay at home dad or something"
I knew a Navy Seal who said the hardest job he ever did was 3 days rotating in and out of the water doing underwater welding off the coast of Vietnam on a ship that had hit a mine. Picture how difficult that might be.
I read a book about this military unit in Vietnam that did reconnaissance for the CIA in Laos and Cambodia. They would drop 3 green berets and 3-6 indigenous people deep behind enemy lines in triple canopy jungle hills. Now in this guys book he says when he was a 19 year old SF guy he volunteered for this classified unit, gets to the units forward operating base and gets assigned a team. Does two training missions with an experienced recon man when an older green beret pulls some strings to get into the unit on a team as a team leader. Not understanding the magnitude of the missions this unit undertook and inconsolable to advice the new team leader assigns his team as mission ready. They are soon heading into Laos with a 9- man recon team with 3 Americans. The TL, Lynne Black, and another 19 y/o green beret. They start their decent into the preselected landing site when Lynne Black notices a flag on a hill, his heart sank, his mind raced, “that can’t be possible”. He knew from his previous tour in Vietnam that flag meant his team would be facing an NVA battalion of 1,500 hardcore fighters on their own turf, and they were landing right on the hill they were headquartered on. Immediately out of the helicopter the TL maneuvers the team down a well walked path against the advice of everyone. Within minutes of entering the trailing they are ambushed by a force of 50 NVA on a slight hill to their side. The TL is killed immediately by gunshot to the head, the indigenous pointman was propelled backwards and into the ground by dozens of gunshots. The third man was wounded by multiple gunshot wounds. Lynne Black crouches aims up the line of amushers popping them in the head 1 at a time, reloads and goes back down the line. It’s a very long story how that team gets out of there involving shotdown helicopters, bugs nesting in the grime and filth of the jungle covering their uniforms, using dozens of dead bodies as sandbags, etc etc. 30 years after this mission Lynne Black would get a call randomly one day, a man spoke to him in a Vietnamese accent, he asked Lynne Black if he was the Green Beret there that day, said he was a Colonel in the NVA and lead the force that ambushed him. Said Lynne shot him in the ass when he stood to grab one of his men, he laid there helplessly as Lynne picked off his men one by one. When Lynne relied he said “Yes, I saw the battalion flag on the way in” the former Colonel replied “No, No. That flag was the headquarters for an entire division. You fought 30,000 soldiers of the North Vietnamese Army that day.” They decimated that entire division with a small team of commandos.
to the people that are out there keeping their countries from crumbling through hard labor I appreciate you all. I worked it I lived it. When older people tell you to stay in school when youre young they mean it. get yourself one of them higher educations. the hard working back breaking jobs are for those that gave up when they were young and now theyre full of regret working a job thats destroying their body before 40.
I doubt that you're a teacher with sentence structure like that! Honestly, one year as a New York City public school teacher was a nightmare. I even had a kid throw a pen knife at me. Wtf! That's how it should have read. If however you are a teacher. Shame! Shame! Shame!
Went from pipefitter helper on a large natural gas plant job, to working 16 hrs on a frack site 1.5 hrs from home (19 hrs total, home at 9:30pm and back up&out at 2am to meet the 4am crew transport) to being an operator at a power plant sitting on my ass 30 minutes from home writing this comment. Things get better when you put the time in, get experience, and always look for better things.
I worked in a oil rig in the middle of the desert with 132 degrees in the shadows. For 12 hour shifts with full PPEs .. but no being a mother is harder 🙂
@Sketchy Stuff I think women just have horrible mood swings that make them think their job sucks. In a way I feel bad for them because it seems like a really fun job to be a stay-at-home mom.
First job i ever had at 16 was me and my older brother worked on a crew building piers on a lake. We had to carry 20ft long 20inch diameter wooden supports and all the rest of the heavy ass wood and supplies through mud and muck for our entire summer vacation. My dad wouldnt let us quit till the job was done.
Was briefly a day labourer before college. One time I had to crawl under a flooded trailerhome in the sticks to cut out the underneath padding. Its super tight under there, and on the west coast so there's massive, tarantula-sized wolf spiders crawling around underneath...and my 2 phobias are claustrophobia & arachnophobia. Never again..
Right after graduation, I got a job @a factory. They ship products for Walmart so for 8-10 hours a day I would go into the back of a freight truck and empty it of the 100+ 50lb boxes filled w/ SAND and ROCKS. It felt like Jail labor
Dude I worked at Walmart and they had me just unloading the cargo the whole time I would be in that shipping container unloading and it feels like a never ending tunnel
I work on a fishing vessel in Alaska. At shore we unload 20,000 frozen fish cases by hand weighing 45 lbs, sometimes we work over 30 hour shift before going to sleep.
Being from Maine and knowing all about extreme cold temperatures and the work that contractors and woodsman do made me choose a career where I wasn't going to be in the wilderness with -30 or -40 degree temperatures. On the other hand seeing floridians wearing long winter jackets while there's no snow and it's 50 degrees is hilarious. Edit:typo
I work as a Amazon driver delivering 300 to 400 packages a day I work 10 to 13 hour days. At the end of the day my back is on fire from going up and down stairs carrying 40lbs to 60lbs packages for apartments and all there 10 packages of water.
I went to tech school and studied disability support. Easy work and it pays more than retail. The course was three days a week for one semester. It's so much better and easier than most other jobs. Look into these jobs and you won't regret it
After a few years with this concrete company, doing very specialized work, I looked at all our foremen. They all limped around, lived with chronic pain, and were on their 2nd or 3rd marriages. Some of these guys were always being told that once we had trained other guys to replace them they'd be moved into the office to become estimators and project managers ... But in the years that I was there not a single foreman ever made it to the office; the company would always hire from outside to fill office positions. I had the option of becoming a foreman, but I knew that that would be as far as I would ever go. And we had some truly incompetent estimators and project managers, and when shit didn't work out it would always be blamed on the crew. Even though I had a good reputation and the money was decent I quit. I couldn't see myself being happy there and I wouldn't give that company any more of my dwindling youth.
i washed dishes at a restaurant and felt the exact same way as bill. you just know whether its in you or not. it didnt take long. i got physically adjusted after a few weeks but the mental toll was just too much and never got better. that feeling of not being able to take one more dish but you just got there for the start of an 8 hr shift on your feet with no breaks, 6 days a week. you had to work weekends, and until 11 or 12 at night. you couldnt go out, or do anything, you had no time, and no energy. and all for 9 dollars an hr. one day i just couldnt do it anymore and my boss told me to take 2 weeks and see if i wanted to come back, i never talked to him again and he never reached out lol. it was just over
I worked as a mechanical engineer on shitty old navy boats for 6 years. Some of the hardest work I ever did when I was active was temporarily working for food service on the ship washing dishes and in the trash compressor room for several months (got commended by the captain for doing that but hoo-fucking-ray). I had to throw my boots away when I was done. Yuck.
@Ethernaut You're not wrong. When I was active Navy I always said the worst jobs ever were mechanic and cook. I worked in the kitchen for the first two months washing dishes by hand AND fixing the damn equipment when it broke because I was on loan from the mechanical engineering A-team. Lol. Hated it. Dealing with trash was easier.
Back in high school I spent a day retrieving discus disks at an athletics event and let me tell you... I gained a new respect for the sun that day. The work wasn't the problem, it's the sun. When it's 25-30 degrees Celsius and there isn't a cloud in sight, the sun just absolutely drains you. I imagine roofing is the same thing, but every day.
Grocery delivery gig services are nothing less than extreme grocery shopping. Trying to make time dragging 2-3 grocery orders between two carts around then hopping in and out of the car lugging these things will really get you on the express route to a chiropractor.
I did roofing in Florida and have worked on road crews, insulation crews, hung drywall, and done electric and solar work in Boston. Doing solar in Mass sucks the terrain is hilly its icy freezing ect..
Plumbing construction apprentice when I got out of the Corps. Couldn't even support myself on the wage and it was a slog. I lasted about 3 weeks. Moved on to sales and was very motivated to go back to college.
It never ceases to amuse me how women will yuck it up whenever men are the butt of the joke, but the second they are the punchline, no matter how slight it may be, every woman in the audience instantly turns on the comedian. I look down at collectivists in general, but women having absolutely no sense of humor about themselves makes it all the funnier for me
I'm with ya pretty much everyone thinks that Burr, Chapelle, Louis CK, Segura, Stanhope, Etc etc are hilarious right up until they make fun of a group they happen to be in and then it's not so funny.. Blows my mind how people think everyone else has stuff to be made fun of but their "group" is flawless.. LOL
@@WKRP187 you’re missing my point. Special interest groups aside, men being the punchline is universally acceptable . Men and women laugh at that without issue. Women will even laugh hysterically at news of a man being maimed. However, when the tables are turned, women will stop laughing and often remain silent for the remainder of an act. And it isn’t due to the bit no longer being funny. It’s a collectivist behavior women have.
One of the worst jobs I ever had was at age nineteen in the "inedibles" department of a cattle slaughterhouse in Calgary. I won't describe its horrors here. When they moved me up to the main meat locker and the quite strenuous job of lugging quarters of beef onto trucks, it felt like winning the lottery.
I worked at a electrical warehouse and did wire cuts with 2 inch wire and moved concrete electric boxes in junior college.. so hard and cutting electrical wire is very dangerous
In my 20s I worked at a factory building dump beds for heavy duty trucks. 120 in that building all day every day. Grinders, welders, the smell of hot metal all day. I worked on “clean-up” which meant using a gigantic grinder and a grinder with a wire brush head to clean off weld splatter and grind down welds. My arms were always burned tf up. Long sleeve shirts made no difference. The grinder sparks just torched them off. $7.25 an hour. That job was hell. And there were old dudes who’d been doing that shit for 30 years. I made it 6 months and I was out. I still have scars on my arms from it.
Worst job I've ever seen was in India, there were guys that had to dive into backed up sewers or septic systems wearing nothing but shorts. No joke they'd open the cover and the brown liquid would be RIGHT UP to the level of the hole and this dude has to just hold his breath, close his eyes and submerge himself to clear the issue...
Hardest job I’ve had and is and will always be the reason I have an easy going job, was working at an alligator farm labor hand during the summers in Louisiana. I’ve never roofed but anyone who has roofed will never do it again, that was my “roofing”.
Worst day of construction was during one of the largest wild fires in the middle of summer so it was so hot and we couldn’t breath because the smoke was so bad. Fire was only about 3 miles away. And burned for over a week.
For every potential hobby you can get into, there’s always an 8 year old somewhere whose parents forced them to start that hobby seconds after they left the womb
I get it. It took my a long time to learn how to really communicate honestly and openly. You’re not going to believe this, but when someone rambles thoughtlessly I’ll say, “you are losing me man, you’re getting lost in this story. Let’s change the subject.” Body language and voice inflections are important. Convey sincerity but also levity. COMMUNICATE. DRAW BOUNDARIES. RESPECT YOUR PEACE AND THEIRS. THERES NOTHING WRONG WITH IT
I work at asplundh. All year round just cuttin brush, trimmin trees and cuttin down trees. And mulchin it down to ground level so it looks pretty. 40-50 hours a week.
I was a paratrooper stationed at Fort Rich in Alaska Jan 1998 we jumped in north of Fairbanks. Was -60 out without the wind chill was 36 hours before we were able to get our tents set up. Walked in a circle for 12 hours straight. Northern lights came out and it was beautiful. Only good thing about that mess. Was so cold the people we were supposed to train with didn’t come out.
Lol. Try prudhoe bay another few hundred miles north of you. Middle of winter. Rigging up frac lines. -86 to -130degf wind chill. I loved it. Wasn’t that bad. Of course I guess jumping out into the air would definitely feel a lot colder. But at that point your surface skin nerves are instantly dead. I still remember that first breath you take in that kind of cold. Everything turns solid and dies in your nose all the way to your lungs. 😂
Hardest job I ever had was a building supply job where I carried double hung windows doors lumber rolls of tar paper and giant sheets of glass in one day we did 300 windows 40 doors and a truck full of lumber I used to work 80+ hour weeks in and down planks at beach homes and commercial construction I worked there for 6 years
6:25 my friend that's what the trade unions are for. In Bricklayers and allied trowel trades, you have helpers and mechanics to divide the labor. It's so one can have a working career for a lifetime and retire before one dies of fatigue. Cheers! love your comedy guys.
I'm currently a joiner and I'm also in college so I can eventually own my start my business. My dream is too build custom homes if anyone cares lol but thank u Joe n bill for flipping me off the whole video but yous won't stop me 😂
I'm an Electrician in Northern Alberta. We work 24 days straight 12 hours a day or night, and we get 1 hour of breaks and that's it. No 'warm up' breaks unless your a manager in the office lol. There is a rate straight across the board for alll apprentices and journeypersons. We make about 2 grand a week after taxes at the highest level.
I started as a carpenter, got a cushy job and now im trying to be a carpenter again... I didn’t realize that I loved until had to deal with people everyday. I will say, working outside in negative 30 degrees does suck.... dont miss that! For me the biggest drawback is too many close calls. Ive shot nails in my knee, fallen off roofs and walls. My brother and best friend both fell over 3 stories both seriously injured. But better than being home all day with a hoard of toddlers running amuck.
a friend worked the warehouse at a big grocery distribution center. They had product to move would let you work 8, 10 or 12 hour shifts - as much as your body could handle
I relate to the first part about the rigs in northen alberta I've worked on a service rig and have since 2 months out of high-school I'm 22 now, you just gotta deal with the struggle and support your lady that deals with you being gone, when you come home make your time count because most girls can't deal with the 2-1 or the 3-1 when you come home bring her flowers and treat her like the queen she is man
Went through a blow out when I was 20 fell off the floor got back up and finished my hitch in pain she stayed during a hernia surgery that put me in the hospital for a week an couldn't walk for 3 weeks , still got up an put food on our table, healthy now with a house money in the bank and a paid off house, shout out to the alberta oilfield workers💯
Hah. I have a similar work story. Hired to work Foundation. Worked 2 days. Day 3 I couldn't move to go to work. Never went back. Fast Forward 15 years, I'm out and about with my son, randomly run into the guy I worked for doing Foundation for 2 days, and he walks over to me and....... PAYS ME FOR THE TIME I WORKED, 15 YEARS AGO!!!! (Ur good shit Rick)
Omg yes about the oil rigs in Alberta. Grew up in that area, and our friends would do that. Called “rig pics”. Good money on the rigs and can make more than if you had an undergrad degree, but not something you can keep up/is attainable for the long term.
Plastering. Especially skim coat. Skimming maybe 12 bags a day 1 break. I remember 08 the recession hit I was doing security and shit cause construction was slow. Things picked up again went back plastering "skimming " and lost a stone in a week! No bullshit!
I’ve had awful jobs but they weren’t physically demanding. Ever seen the film Office Space? That was basically my entire 20s. I’m now a prison officer and I love it
Hardest job I had was a shipyard mechanic for the navy. Always busy, too cold, too hot. Everything is fuck all heavy and sharp. Almost 4 years of it and I moved onto aerospace, much easier.
Firefighting is not the hardest job. It's not a job you just find yourself in to make ends meet. It's a highly competitive field that you have to really want. The one thing you'll hear most firefighters say besides "C shift did it" is "It's the best job in the world". It's got hardships but they are managed by the support networks and the lifestyle.
For me I had two jobs where in thought if I had to do them into my 30s I wouldn’t make it to my 40s First one was working in a book factory putting freshly printed books into boxes. Try doing that shit 8 hours a night, on your feet, literally picking up books and putting them into boxes, no phones or headphones allowed, strict breaks, shit managers. The other was in a call center, I could write a book about how oppressive that job was
Another nice fun fact about working in the great white north. While working outside, you had to wear tinted safety glasses otherwise you could go Snowblind. Fun times.
I worked as a landscaper for 2 years and called it quits. I was never in better shape also never so tired and sore, never spent more on footwear, rain gear and we also worked through the winter. Had to hand bomb tarps of green waste off of a truck in 30+ Celsius weather for for hours usually over 5000lbs. Most companies have dumper trucks bit not these guys. I knew it was a job that would physically destroy me if i kept doing it, also it mad eme miserable.
My dad went into the carpenters union became a foreman and loved working he made good money traveling to New York everyday until he fell through 2 stories of scaffolding and landed on a cement floor
While in the Army in Europe, I volunteered to spend 2 weeks on a German farmer's property working for him. Turns out he had volunteer Americans twice a year. Coincidentally (!) those were the 2 times a year the shit was cleaned out of the chicken coup. He had only 200 chickens so after six months their feces was piled only about 12-18 inches high... I almost died from ammonia poisoning
What was the hardest or the most annoying job you guys did or still do? 🤔 👇
Being a motherrrr 🤣🤣🤣
Loading the DVD into the player for my kid. I’m still wearing the back brace from what Lambchop did to me
Laundry aide at an old folks home that used washable diapers.... Carts and carts of used diapers sitting in the Indiana sun waiting to be sorted, remove solids, and industrial dryers... Rough job for $4.85 cents an hour
Selling doors and millworks from a retail warehouse. Between the idiots who shop here and the hours of labor and consultation, it fucking kills me
Concrete finishing, 11 years in, and it by far is the hardest job I've ever done
In an alternative Universe, Bill Burr and Joe Rogan are both senior carpenters and really good friends that go to a bar every Friday to talk and hang out living an average life.
What makes me laugh is these guys are actually describing the combined three weeks of their lives that they actually did real jobs, I'm 20 years into this shit and I don't have time in my day to fly a helicopter, I definitely fucked up
true, Bill's a way way more reasonable(and funny) guy than Joe though.
Bill and Joe are the perfect names for two guys who do that too
In another universe they're both windows
Joe could be a painter or electrician. Carpenters are big guys.
I have 6 kids and I work nights at a retirement home and my husband is a cattle hauler . I couldn't be happier!! I don't want to do half the job you man have to do ! No thank you ! Hats off to all you men doing the crazy dangerous and hard work . Thank You!!
Wow, there is one who can see men occupy jobs other than CEO of a multinational corporation.
Yeah, it's only some women who think that. I mean, I'm sure it's not easy at times, I know me and my siblings were a handful, but the very hardest job? It's a hilarious bit.
@@WKRP187 LOL who hurt you little snowflake? Do you walk around thinking more women should blindly appreciate you more because you feel entitled?
6 kids! jesus why ?!
The replies here just show that men can also be sissies. Bill Burr is awesome but he also attracts men who bitch about not receiving the attention they think they deserve.
I work as an electrician in canada and when it is -40 it is so cold that you dont even feel cold anymore cuz all of your skin has gone numb
But have you ever dealt with the terrible two's?
Brother of the trade but further north
Exactly why it’s fucking easier. You don’t even feel it!! The job of a women taking care of a baby is constant attention, and feeling the terrible 2’s as you clean it up.
Them candian goose jackets i know u wearing them. Worked with a bunch of lineman from canada and they all had them.
Yea that’s called hypothermia.
My father did heavy construction work for 35 years. He went up on bridges, did demolition with Bosch jackhammers, made cement, carried cement bags 6 to 10 stories up because a lot of the buildings he worked in were old and had no elevators, pulled support beams that were 80 to 100 pounds with a rope up those same buildings from the roof 10 stories down. The man's legs, traps and arms were freakishly big when he was in his 30's because of it and he never worked out. I tried it and didn't last 1 week. Bill's right. It is a gift. Not everyone can do it. My dad can still do it despite being almost 60 and retired.
Exactly. Joe didn’t get it. The mental and physical stubbornness to go through that over and over again and not listen to your body aching but just getting it done is a gift by itself
Wow, I have mad respect for him.

Bags of Portland Cement weigh 100 lbs. I was a Block Tender (Hod Carrier) for 2 Masonry Contractors moving 5-7 tons of material a day, Worked for a General Contractor for 5 years, 2 during college in the 80's. I've been a Elec Enginerd at a desk for 30 years and owned a Consulting Firm, just retired and in the last 9 months i've put laminate flooring in the master bdrm and painted, put metal roofing on 1/2 the roof before the rain started, enclosed the 24x 10 back porch to make a breezeway with insulated walls and glass panels, remodeled the 2nd bathroom and painted 3/4 of the house exterior. and now i'm getting ready to finish the roof as the rainy season is almost over. I'm 63 and in the best shape of my life, but yeah my flipping back hurts. but the key is always spend the extra money for a good, comfortable pair of solid work boots and protect your feet.

At 11 years old I started helping my father in our crops we are from Greece and we have olive trees peaches and almonds I have been working whenever I can help him and I am grateful to help my father I am now 18 and I can say all that work has paid off physically and mentally
At 16y/o I worked for a tree removing service. Stacking logs, dragging branches to the chipper, and climbing trees with a chainsaw. My back hurt every day and I could not seem to eat enough food.
Some of those manual labor jobs keep you perputually hungry and low energy, goddamn
You were a growing boy.
Did tree work for 3 years and now work for the same company just doing yard maintenance, Bush trimming and more artistic pruning on small trees. I loved treework alot but I knew i couldn't do it long so I got the hell out. Danced with death a few times and learned alot.
You can eat 4000-5000 cals a day easy with manual labour I used to eat those foot long subs and two pots of coffee working concrete

Roofing is the worse.
Anything above 10 degrees is bad for us pmsl
Seriously Roofing in summer is the hardest Job in the world, every shingle pack it's like 80 pounds. Heat above roof level is 15 degrees more for every story, and you have to work while slowed down by a rope that gets stuck everywhere, and tile roof...
Omg is like walking on a stove.
Worst job for me was when I was 20, spent the entire summer working for a guy on my softball team who owned 7-8 properties and a barn in my town. Spent every day busting ass, hauling washer and dryers in and out of units, mulching and weedwacking, painting and samding, just about everything you can imagine for grunt work. At the end of the summer the rest of the help had left, and the barn got rented out to a new tenant. I spent the last week taking all of his old shit out of there piece by piece, and cleaning the entire thing out.
Wouldn’t even entertain going back the next summer, but I’ll never forget the life lessons it taught me.
I operate my own fence installation business that I started 4 years ago and I do it all on my own. Dig the posts holes which often involves crowbarring/jackhammering through rocks and tree roots then set the posts with 20kg cement bags that I have to load then unload myself in +40 degree Celsius heat and +90% humidity during summer.
I love my work and it keeps me strong and in shape and will earn between 2k to 6k per week, depending on the size of the job. Big jobs pay better than the smaller ones.
It took me 3 years to develop my business to the point where most of my jobs are from referrals and I can pick and choose the best ones.
I will continue to build fences until I physically cannot do it anymore.
I AM 50 YEARS OLD...
Get an auger to dig your holes buddy. Your body will thank you when you retire.
Toughest job I did was working at a call center. Labor is physically hard but can be really rewarding as well. Customer relations jobs are mostly just soul crushing.
Truth.
You're always like, what am I doing?
Same position as you were in buddy & I'm 25 ... Waking everyday with the same question.
Fuck customer service. I worked as both a csr for Comcast in 2006 and a mechanical engineer for the navy. I wouldn't wish either job on my worst enemy.
Yeah, I dug ditches for a bit, and at the end of the day there was a big hole that wasn't there that morning. It's nice feeling like you have done something.
Yeah, I'd rather do grueling work than most retail jobs.
I worked in an oil rig in west Texas, the complete opposite to what Joe talks about. During summer you have to hide from the sun and the heat. I lasted 9 month and it felt like a big accomplishment.
@Chet Muggins yeah, that's the only thing I miss...
I have experienced that West Texas heat at fort Davis my 1st full day out there it was 120
I did labor jobs for years after High School, but seeing what the older guys had to go through and hearing stories about how they got injured I knew had to get out of it as soon as possible. Not only does it destroy your body but there's very definite ceilings on how much you can make. Add onto that all the medical bills you'll be paying later in life and it isn't worth it long term.
I do think everyone, man and woman, should have to do some shitty labor gigs early on in life though, it really gives you perspective and an understanding of who you are and what you want.
The worst job I had was at a steel yard right after high school. I was destroyed every day by the heat, labor and long hours. Like they said, I probably could have gotten used to it after a few months, but I only worked there for like 3 weeks and quit. Nearly having 2 steel beams dropped on me along with all the other potential injuries, with no insurance, there was just no way it was worth it.
Being a Forest Service Hotshot is extremely hard. Regularly work over 1000 hours of overtime carrying a 40 pound pack and a chainsaw. Work in the most challenging, steep, inhospitable parts of fires with 16 hour shifts with the occasional shift up to 36 hours straight. 14 days on with 2 days off for 6-7 months. Poison oak, bees, bears, the elements. It wears on you.

Carrying shingles up a ladder when I was a young teen. Still have a labor job unloading trucks it takes its toll but I take pride in hard work n tradition knowing our dads dads were the real work horses feels like I’m one of few that keep it alive in a small way.
I did 9 years doing heavy green oak framing. Barns and bridges etc……ruined my joints at 35. Had to change industry because of lost cartilage in my hips, back and knees.
I used to work as a plumber and one job my buddy and I had to squeeze into this tiny hole under inside the basement. probably about 2feet by 2 feet, we were literally army crawling our way around belly down. And we needed to fix old rusted pipes, cut them and replace them. We were in there for 4 hours straight never once came out to breathe. Just in there working I came out and lost 10lb of water weight it was crazy how drenched I was. I remember thinking "this fking sucks, can I be a stay at home dad or something"
I knew a Navy Seal who said the hardest job he ever did was 3 days rotating in and out of the water doing underwater welding off the coast of Vietnam on a ship that had hit a mine. Picture how difficult that might be.

I read a book about this military unit in Vietnam that did reconnaissance for the CIA in Laos and Cambodia. They would drop 3 green berets and 3-6 indigenous people deep behind enemy lines in triple canopy jungle hills. Now in this guys book he says when he was a 19 year old SF guy he volunteered for this classified unit, gets to the units forward operating base and gets assigned a team. Does two training missions with an experienced recon man when an older green beret pulls some strings to get into the unit on a team as a team leader. Not understanding the magnitude of the missions this unit undertook and inconsolable to advice the new team leader assigns his team as mission ready. They are soon heading into Laos with a 9- man recon team with 3 Americans. The TL, Lynne Black, and another 19 y/o green beret. They start their decent into the preselected landing site when Lynne Black notices a flag on a hill, his heart sank, his mind raced, “that can’t be possible”. He knew from his previous tour in Vietnam that flag meant his team would be facing an NVA battalion of 1,500 hardcore fighters on their own turf, and they were landing right on the hill they were headquartered on. Immediately out of the helicopter the TL maneuvers the team down a well walked path against the advice of everyone. Within minutes of entering the trailing they are ambushed by a force of 50 NVA on a slight hill to their side. The TL is killed immediately by gunshot to the head, the indigenous pointman was propelled backwards and into the ground by dozens of gunshots. The third man was wounded by multiple gunshot wounds. Lynne Black crouches aims up the line of amushers popping them in the head 1 at a time, reloads and goes back down the line. It’s a very long story how that team gets out of there involving shotdown helicopters, bugs nesting in the grime and filth of the jungle covering their uniforms, using dozens of dead bodies as sandbags, etc etc. 30 years after this mission Lynne Black would get a call randomly one day, a man spoke to him in a Vietnamese accent, he asked Lynne Black if he was the Green Beret there that day, said he was a Colonel in the NVA and lead the force that ambushed him. Said Lynne shot him in the ass when he stood to grab one of his men, he laid there helplessly as Lynne picked off his men one by one. When Lynne relied he said “Yes, I saw the battalion flag on the way in” the former Colonel replied “No, No. That flag was the headquarters for an entire division. You fought 30,000 soldiers of the North Vietnamese Army that day.”
They decimated that entire division with a small team of commandos.
to the people that are out there keeping their countries from crumbling through hard labor I appreciate you all. I worked it I lived it. When older people tell you to stay in school when youre young they mean it. get yourself one of them higher educations. the hard working back breaking jobs are for those that gave up when they were young and now theyre full of regret working a job thats destroying their body before 40.

After a few years with this concrete company, doing very specialized work, I looked at all our foremen. They all limped around, lived with chronic pain, and were on their 2nd or 3rd marriages. Some of these guys were always being told that once we had trained other guys to replace them they'd be moved into the office to become estimators and project managers ... But in the years that I was there not a single foreman ever made it to the office; the company would always hire from outside to fill office positions.
I had the option of becoming a foreman, but I knew that that would be as far as I would ever go. And we had some truly incompetent estimators and project managers, and when shit didn't work out it would always be blamed on the crew.
Even though I had a good reputation and the money was decent I quit. I couldn't see myself being happy there and I wouldn't give that company any more of my dwindling youth.
I work in a drill crew in the North Sea, moneys great but 3 and 3 and 12 hour shifts with short change are brutal.

Some of the hardest work I ever did when I was active was temporarily working for food service on the ship washing dishes and in the trash compressor room for several months (got commended by the captain for doing that but hoo-fucking-ray). I had to throw my boots away when I was done. Yuck.
@Ethernaut You're not wrong. When I was active Navy I always said the worst jobs ever were mechanic and cook.

Back in high school I spent a day retrieving discus disks at an athletics event and let me tell you... I gained a new respect for the sun that day. The work wasn't the problem, it's the sun.

And it isn’t due to the bit no longer being funny. It’s a collectivist behavior women have.

Hah. I have a similar work story.
Hired to work Foundation. Worked 2 days. Day 3 I couldn't move to go to work. Never went back.
Fast Forward 15 years, I'm out and about with my son, randomly run into the guy I worked for doing Foundation for 2 days, and he walks over to me and.......
PAYS ME FOR THE TIME I WORKED, 15 YEARS AGO!!!!
(Ur good shit Rick)
Wow good guy
Omg yes about the oil rigs in Alberta. Grew up in that area, and our friends would do that. Called “rig pics”. Good money on the rigs and can make more than if you had an undergrad degree, but not something you can keep up/is attainable for the long term.
Plastering. Especially skim coat. Skimming maybe 12 bags a day 1 break.
I remember 08 the recession hit I was doing security and shit cause construction was slow. Things picked up again went back plastering "skimming " and lost a stone in a week! No bullshit!
I’ve had awful jobs but they weren’t physically demanding.
Ever seen the film Office Space? That was basically my entire 20s.
I’m now a prison officer and I love it
Hardest job I had was a shipyard mechanic for the navy. Always busy, too cold, too hot. Everything is fuck all heavy and sharp. Almost 4 years of it and I moved onto aerospace, much easier.
i'd like to watch the full podcast, do you know which this is from?
Being a mother hands down
Lmao Bill Burr is one of the greats
Firefighting is not the hardest job. It's not a job you just find yourself in to make ends meet. It's a highly competitive field that you have to really want. The one thing you'll hear most firefighters say besides "C shift did it" is "It's the best job in the world".
It's got hardships but they are managed by the support networks and the lifestyle.
B shift bro. B shift.
For me I had two jobs where in thought if I had to do them into my 30s I wouldn’t make it to my 40s
First one was working in a book factory putting freshly printed books into boxes. Try doing that shit 8 hours a night, on your feet, literally picking up books and putting them into boxes, no phones or headphones allowed, strict breaks, shit managers.
The other was in a call center, I could write a book about how oppressive that job was
hard work will make you hard
Another nice fun fact about working in the great white north. While working outside, you had to wear tinted safety glasses otherwise you could go Snowblind. Fun times.
I worked as a landscaper for 2 years and called it quits. I was never in better shape also never so tired and sore, never spent more on footwear, rain gear and we also worked through the winter. Had to hand bomb tarps of green waste off of a truck in 30+ Celsius weather for for hours usually over 5000lbs. Most companies have dumper trucks bit not these guys. I knew it was a job that would physically destroy me if i kept doing it, also it mad eme miserable.
Been a roofer for 10+ years. Hard work but when you work for yourself it’s good money
My dad went into the carpenters union became a foreman and loved working he made good money traveling to New York everyday until he fell through 2 stories of scaffolding and landed on a cement floor
Landscaping is tough work, but if you stick with it you’ll become tougher for it.
Hearing this while working 6 days a week 10hrs day Construction
The animation of this is on point!
Great illustrations! 😂😂♡
While in the Army in Europe, I volunteered to spend 2 weeks on a German farmer's property working for him. Turns out he had volunteer Americans twice a year. Coincidentally (!) those were the 2 times a year the shit was cleaned out of the chicken coup. He had only 200 chickens so after six months their feces was piled only about 12-18 inches high... I almost died from ammonia poisoning
i still do ocasional construction occasionally-im 67
Joe violating hippa is my favorite part
