Its hillarious how disconnected some people are to the real working world. OMG you work 12hr shifts!
12 hr shifts that's cute
Bro compared it to working a job in Hollywood💀
Maher is beta
12 hours shifts are normal nowadays. Any kind of demanding over pressured job is 12 hours.
Nailed IT.
Bill is amazed over 12 hour work days . You need to visit blue collar workers and see the jobs they do .
Facts
Yeah, that caught my eye/ear too. A former roughneck talking to a guy who has never worked a day in his life.
So you think he just snapped his fingers, and magically become famous? You dont think that takes work?
@@samstromberg5271 You can't really compare writing jokes to working on an oil rig. Cmon.
We worked 12 hour shifts at Intel and much of the Semiconductor industry.
Not everyone gets to work in a cozy office 9-5. It's crazy how out of touch some people are from the working class people who are the backbone of our society.
I used to pour concrete for a living and I made more money than a middle manager at a factory..... When your capable of carring the load, why work with the politics for way less money?
bill maher hasnt actually worked 8 hours a day doing anything
As a former rig worker (roughneck, motorman, derrick) in Alberta i quite enjoyed this. Trace is the real deal.
It’s great to see your comment. I worked rigs here in Alberta for 12 years. Cheers
I was a rig mover for many years and still am on occasion, in Alberta
My Alberta blood loved hearing drilling talk!
I'm heading back out for the first time in 10 years this week. AB for the win
I love how the concept of being a real man just goes right over Bill’s head.
If my memory serves me right his last shift was on Globle Marine High Island 4 for Unical , I worked on that rig when he was there, what I remember he was right Tracy was a top hand out there and missed by the crew when he left. We all understood he had an opportunity to live his dream and better himself. I can bet everyone of us still follow him one way or another. Majority of this country has know idea what it takes to accomplish what Tracy has accomplished.
Trace adkins voice is a national treasure.
Too bad his music sucks
Amen 🙏
Its very raspy smokers voice.
A Sam Elliot voice
One of a kind! Gives me chills just to hear him talk.
Once, Bill visited an oil rig. He was wearing that very same pink shirt. And that's the time Trace thought he saw a female engineer on his oil rig.
😂
That’s hilarious 😆
Bill can't comprehend the concept of real work, team and male comradery...has to make it gay.
@@BWolf00 Bill comes from a hollywood type of an attmosphere. His industry is loaded up with people who could never make it on a rig.
I've never been on a rig, but I can tell you that he wouldn't be allowed to wear that onto any oilfield I've ever worked on. It's not the silly "lol gay" stuff that y'all are talking about, either.
There's no way that shirt is FR.
Those men are very special people.
Talk rough, play rough, work rough.
Great people to be around.
And they will be glad to bring you a bucket of steam!
Or at least tell you where you can find it!
Nothing like a good can of steam! My husband worked offshore and loved it. I am familiar with the stories of searching for steam.
Twelve hours? In a row? Hilarious!!
Bill really hasn't a clue. He thought an oil well in the gulf of Mexico could be drilled in a day 🤣🤣🤣
Like every other non-worker wouldn't think the same thing.
Yeah, as a crude oil hauler, I work 12-14 hours a day. Lmao that 12 hours in a row had me laughing so hard.
Trace makes me feel pretty stupid complaining about some of the jobs I have had....lol. This guy's a real man.
I cut tobacco and I did some rough jobs but I was always my daddy's little boy.
Trace is spot on when he talks of the competitive nature in the oilfield.
Bill asked if it was 12 hours straight. Some of us worked for a living. I was around the clock. 2 months days, 2 months nights. For a long time. I think we all relate more to Trace. Bill is more stoned than I am.
I worked on the trans Alaska pipeline road.. 12 on, 12 off. 4 weeks on, 1 week off… hard work paid off.. bigly..
Nice one. Had a couple of mates went into it after leaving the army and they loved it too.
@@goodyeoman4534 a good time and a shit ton of money. If you could keep it!!🤣
I wish I could do that type of work, but, I have bulging disc in my back
You mean men work 12 hours straight for 14 days for their entire life to provide for their families. Holy moly whoever heard of such craziness I thought everyone worked in AC with a drink in their hand.
God bless real men like Trace.
Man, I love the way Bill is coming around, but the lack of understanding about hard work is amazing. Unbelievable!
Yup, that'
s what get when a stud talks to a girly man....
There's not many experiences that are cooler than doing something that most people don't understand. It's addictive.
It’s what makes real men. You wouldn’t know anything about that Bill.
Somehow it still surprises me how some people don't know and understand working for a living and the great feeling you get while doing it. ... God Bless
As a scaffold builder on the oil rigs I work 3 weeks on 1 week off. 12 to 14 hours a day
Thank you 👍🏻
Maher mystified and fascinated by the concept of manual labour.
I know he's sounds like such a elitist
We need more people like this. I work 70 hrs a week physically taxing but love it.
I hate how the world is demonizing the people and masculinity that makes civilized life possible
In my young day we used to roughneck 24/7/365..Only got days off if it was too muddy to move the rig. Paid my way through college and flight school doing it.
Tough, hardworking men doing dangerous work are extremely valuable and underappreciated in society.
what a voice
One of the best decisions in my career was going to work in the oilfield.
You’ll meet people that will not hesitate to challenge you to do better on more levels than can be realized.
I miss them all. Several years removed from it all and to this day I regularly hear from them one way or another. We check in on one another and we go out of our way to help one another.
I’ve had a former oilfield colleague I worked with only a hand full of times drive to my home 30-40 miles out of his way to make repairs around my home saving me thousands of dollars.
I’ve driven 5 hours one way to help one of my oil field family members do major automotive repairs.
I’ve ran into some that I’ve only spoken to over the phone miles away from any oil field work. Just picked up right then and there and as great friends.
Very high quality people who are eager to help.
Trace is not only having to explain how to work in a real man’s world, he has got to start at ground zero and tell Bill how to be a real man
Trace has been a full time musician for the last 35 years he worked on a rig for a few years in his 20s quit with the real man stuff.
@@Paul-vf2wl when you make it to “real man” status in Louisiana you don’t lose it just because you changed your address Trace is bayou bad
Bill Maher generally comes off as a smug know-it-all, but he seems to have lived a very isolated life.
Texas Oil Fields, ... Here
12 hour shifts are also common in the semiconductor industry.
I could hear trace speak for days . What a hunk 🥰🥰🥰🥰
What? You don’t prefer “modern” men like Bill? 😂
Bill really asks some stupid questions sometimes
Cause he's never work a blue collar job in his life
A lot of people like him really have no idea how the world actually works. How many man hours and how complicated it is to get his face in front of his audience. From the manufacturing of all the cameras and equipment, to the telecommunications, to the production of electricity to power all of that equipment, to the extraction of the oil that gets refined into fuel, that powers the vehicles that transport the people and equipment to his show. Way too many people take it for granted and look at the people that make his life possible like a bunch of dumb hicks.
Pipeline construction. This fall we were doing twelve-fourteen hour days, thirteen days on and one off for months. Definitely got coined up for Christmas.
there's so many things that bill doesnt understand
I like this guy. Never been much of a fan of country music, generally, and I'm not even sure I know any of his music. But he's a no nonsense dude who, like other tough guys, built this country. Or, at least they are among the group of people who do get things done. Guys like this are the kind of men the WOKE and #MEtoo crowd hate. I'm a lib, but I like dudes like this. They are the marrow of this country--even if some of 'em really piss me off with their political views and support of Trump. But so it goes. It takes all kinds to make a society run.
I'm now going to have to watch the whole interview.
With a set of vocal chords like that, a person NEEDS to be in the music industry so all of us can hear them. Man oh man.
Nice finessing around the manly action, Bill.
I worked offshore for Global Marine in the Gulf. Trace left the company just before I began. Loved the life.
Bill has no idea what a real man does for a living..
Trace is such an amazing man. He certainly is not lazy. Love his music 🎵
Worked with some of the best people you’ll ever meet in the oilfield, but some you’d never turn your back on too!
My dad worked on the rig on the coast of Scotland and Scandinavia I think. He hated it. Loved flying back tho 😂
Pov: You watch someone from California learn where all their s*** comes from
Trace Adkins, a dang good guy, got to meet him thru my mom when he was playing at Tilly and Lucy's bar, hermitage Tn
Can I just say this is the first time ever seeing Adkins without his hat on. 😳
Ok, thank you to all the oil riggers! You guys are a whole other level of real man. Much mad respect! Talk about a dirty job?!! Thanks for doing it for us all! God bless and keep ya'll safe! 👍🇺🇸🙏❤️🙏
Props to Bill for even having him on. Even though they are from different worlds, I have always appreciated Bill's willingness to actually talk to people that are different from him.
You're sick
Bill - someone with very strong opinions on climate change and what needs to be changed. Also Bill - someone with no idea how the energy that fuels every aspect of his life is actually produced. Pretty dangerous combination.
Currently at work on my 12 hour tour . It’s amazing how out of touch some people are
Bill doesn't understand Blue-collar work .
When you get recruited by the government to stop an earth-threatening asteroid, that's one of the special perks of rigging ❤🎉
That's only cool if you get to ride the missile that will explode the asteroid. Ride it waving a cowboy hat, whooping and a hollering the whole time.
I’m with Bill on this one, it’s hard to believe exactly what these guys are doing out there in the middle of the ocean, truly remarkable engineering 😅
Bill Maher is completely ignorant about anything in the real world. And suggesting to Trace Adkins' face that Trace is a sausage wrangler isn't smart.
I work on a Gulf rig (safety, not the drilling), and the guys I work with are some of the hardest working people I’ve ever met in my life. Roughnecks are a different breed.
Bill, it might be nice to do a little reading about things other than what's in Hollywood.
"Continuation of a team sport", perfect description. I'm not surprised at how clueless Maher is about how real people work.
This guy looks like a viking, or one of them northern bodyguards the Caesars used to have back in Rome
That would be Constantinople in 900-hundres BC, the Vikings were... never mind
Varangian guard?
I love your voice
Bill was absolutely uninterested in what Adkins had to say.
drilled to 38000 feet in the gulf of mexico on 5k feet of water.. drillling weight was 1.1 million towards the end lol.. ran a 2.6 million string of casing at the time a world record.. 14/14, 21/21, 28/28, 35/35.. done it all .. 19 years.. drilling consultant now for chevron
Maher’s hardest job was probably writing jokes
This conversation reminds me talking to my eight year old son, bill is either a child or a woman.
Drop The PBD interview please
It was the same for me when I got out of the Navy.
Wow.. Bill hates oil but is absolutely 1000% clueless... amazing!!!
Bill is a pamper boy real men work very hard these days....
I worked in the Ultra Deep Water sector of oilfield industry, a lot of hard working, smart people making a darned good living. It’s an industry where it’s not uncommon to start at entry level and make it to the top. The engineering and technology was NASA level.
My husband made the movie DEEP WATER HORIZONS
I love his voice. Todays women dont know what they're missing with real men.
Lots of oil rig guys spent those time in Bangkok having fun.
And Dubai
Nice discussion Bill...thanks.
Trace is the only Spirit-Brother I got in show business. He's like Mike Row except he was an expert worker for real, not playing.
It’s called work
Bill , you work 12 hours straight 😂
Yep he's a hand!
I’ve worked 18hrs days in south and west texas.
Real people do have to work 12 hours a day to make it
Normal shift work offshore is 84hrs a week......a lot of time, 90-95 hrs....if I'm woken up off shift to make a dive, my time keeps rolling........Hollywood has no idea how real people work
Bill had Gov. Newsom on his show last week , wondering why he didn't ask him about giving free healthcare to illegals and migrants???
Bill is such a smart guy and he knows Jack about drilling. It's embarrassing coming from a guy that knows how the world works.
Bill needs to pull his out!
You work 12 hrs...in a row?? God dang, Maher some people actually work long days.
The only time Bill could even relate was the homosexual inference.
This interview is evidence of how out of touch most media people are on the reality of the working man. Everyday life for many of us and Bill sounds like a teenage girl.
Trace, I am sorry you had to endure this.
My husband does do interviews
OMG you worked 12hr in a row?.........lmao 12hr days even time roster is the life.
Bill the greenhorn...
I love you so very much darling. And I miss you.
Gawd bless Texass
I wonder if he ever thought he would ever interview a honest to goodness working person?
Bill Mahar never worked that hard. He would last about 1 hour. You can tell he's not interested at all.
You need to need to come out to the fly over states and go out on a drilling rig. maybe go out to an oil field and see what its all about.
"You worked 12-hours a day? OMG" That's privilege right there
Did a 30 day shutdown 12 hours a day, broke 3 ribs the second day, missed 1 DAY, fell asleep waiting to leave, took 2 Tylenol on day 5. Finished the job then went for a x-ray, Dr about shit when he seen it.
Bill is so out of touch
Bill Marr has no concept of what blue-collar work. People do, I'm a truck driver, I working oil filled. It's a 16 hour day everyday, 7 days week.
Without getting to 2 weeks off.
You catch oil like fish? I've never worked on a rig, but that question is stupid.
Bill, you amaze me. Seriously. And in a good way, too. For years, I wouldn't have given you the time of day as we are such polar opposites on so many beliefs and viewpoints. However, as of late you seem to have re-centered yourself. I've noticed your criticism of what one might call "former colleagues and allies" on liberal/left beliefs & issues. And that's a good thing. Indeed, many leftists have simply gone too far in recent years. Waaaaaaayyy too far.
Now, I would never demean you by saying that have become Red-Pilled!... nope not gonna do that. However, you have had the chutzpah and juevos to look at others on the left and call them out for their horrendous dealings and damage. I see that. I applaud that. I may be wrong, but it's quite clear to me that you're now opening up and talking to folks that would have never entered your sphere of influence in the past. And that's a good thing, too. You're growing and learning by venturing forth into "undiscovered country," as they say.
You've always spoken your mind, Bill. May you continue to do so. I can't promise that I'll agree, but I am beginning to listen to you. And that's another good thing, too. Onward, Sir!
PS: Trace Adkins is a helluva interview! Helluva entertainer. Helluva man.👍
It's amazing how out of touch people like Bill are. It's even harder working the kind of shifts in the extreme cold and long darkness of the Alaskan oil fields. What about military duty and agriculture workers? I think you would find that the people who work hardest at their jobs will also be the ones who complain the least.
