working crappy jobs, early in life is a badge of honor. It makes you appreciate things in life much more
working in construction was like going to boot camp for me
“The least I could do and not get fired”.
Truer words have never been said.
It's the American work ethic and American workers are still more productive than the rest of the world.
This is the type of ethic that kills moral at a job and career. I busted my ass while - some not all - sat around doing just that while taking their sweet a** time.
@@SAVikingSA you proved it by burning most of the south to the ground just to make your boss happy.

Used to cut grass and paint under the table for cash at a waste water treatment plant- we’d strap the lawnmowers or weedwackers up to a go cart and cut the grass at about 15-20 mph, and then find a hiding spot in the 55 miles of piping tunnels there were underground at the plant and take regular 3 hour naps. Best week was when we snuck the go cart piece by piece down into the tunnels, reassembled it, and painted the pipes without even having to stand up. Best job I ever had. Most sleep I’ve ever gotten in my life.
Humans can become quite creative to become more comfortable, good shit mate
i worked at an RV dealer in my early 20s on slow ass days in the winter which was EVERY DAY i'd take the "cleaning kit" head to the back of the yard and camp out in a camper till lunch lol
@Jose Fernandez aww poor Jose ain't had to work hard in his life
@@nastyham5302 you try selling oranges on the freeway 😎
That's creativity and ingenuity in action. If I had been your boss and I'd found out about this, I would've promoted you to Chief Maintenance Manager, on the spot!
Met Jim many times in NJ. Dude is hysterical! At the time I was married to a Hispanic girl. This was before everyone became so sensitive & before his Special Ed days. So I asked him to do some hispanic jokes during his set... He didn't disappoint. Will always be a fan of his.
He was married before the girl that cheated on him?
You look pretty spicky
Is that Bon Jovi?
I honestly respect Cumia a lot more knowing that he did the 'regular guy' bit for a while. Sounds like he knows an honest day's work and deserves to be where he is these days.
He would be more respectable if he’d been doing this radio thing since, say, 18
@@justinschexnayder8485 like the genius, Ope.
He's talented and he might not seem hardworking but I think he's driven. That being said, my view of him has dropped off considerably. It's not that he's racist. I don't care. But he used to be racist with a chuckle and make me laugh.
@@NicholasBennettC yet here you are watching clips of him
@@SeanDaRyan and?
The HVAC industry lost a great talent when Anthony decided to switch careers. We need more people with this kind of commitment and work ethic, LOL.
LMAO at this comment
He knew that the trades blew coq, hed be dead by now if he was in hvac his cirrhosis would have mercd him by now
@@robotsaysbeebooboopWhy?

Do u have any other talents that u can peruse or work at a different company in your field?
What do u do anyway lol

Human suffering makes for good comedy
Makes for good music too....\m/
Always
We can laugh or cry
Agreed but it sucks when its happening to you
Yep, without it Seinfeld would never have happened LOL
These construction job stories are nothing compared to caddying in high school
For the mob no less
"Danny, do you use drugs?"
"Yes sir, everyday."
"Good."
Leavidalone
It sounds gay, but I worked at a garden center/nursery in high school. People automatically think all you did is water flowers, no. I had to lift 50
Lb bags of gravel and mulch in 100 degree weather.
I remember caddying. My first caddy job, had to be there at 6:00am go through the training. Then go out. Got done at like 5. Made 12.50 or 13 dollars after tip. This was 1991 or so.
My father had Alzheimer's and then my mother was diagnosed soon after he went to be with the Lord and I'm a full-time caregiver and not able to work and it's crazy but I really miss being on job sites. I know this is the plan that the Lord had for me though and I love my parents very sweet people
I can’t stop hearing Fred doing Jim’s impression every time Jim talks . Hahaha
As a plumber who does mostly new construction and renovations, the stories I've got from on the job could fill a book. Just the people you run into and meet on a daily basis, everybody is a character. It's one of the last gigs on earth where the people working it are actual individuals with personality and uniqueness still like how everybody used to be. I don't know people work in offices their whole life with boring people with no personalities and not kill themselves. I tried it for a brief period and I thought for a hot minute in my early 20's that I wanted to be an engineer, got my degree, landed an internship at this engineering firm where it was literally a bunch of nerds who've never used a power tool in their life but yet are designing houses sitting at a computer all day in their cubicles not talking to each other playing with AutoCAD. I lasted a month, quit, went to work for my uncle instead who is also a plumber and the rest is history.
Tremendous!
Linger longer
One of my favorite O&A clips is Ant talking about his HVAC days. I grew up working on construction sites and I miss the shit out of it now that I’ve been in an office for 10 years (except on the really hot days)
Ever hook up with the stay at home mom on one of your calls?

Jim Florentine is a bear, and anywhere he is, is the woods.
Is this some sort of autistic zen proverb?
I knew a guy once hated his landlord so much that when he finally moved he cut about four holes in random walls in the apartment. Bought a bunch of meat, put them in the holes and then plastered them up and painted it over. 😂 Not only is that dedication, but it’s playing the long game.
Well one thing- you make a milk chicken bomb - delayed gratification.. you put a raw chicken leg in a jar, with half full of milk. After a few days the process of rotting meat and milk create gas that eventually causes the jar to explode. Imagine the smell and mess that’s left. I found this in BIG BROTHER skateboard magazine owned by Larry Flynt in the late 90s 😂
@@jerrysanders9101 wow, just wow. A milk chicken bomb. That's pure evil. And hilarious
Bad thing is that it's going to be the next tenant that has to deal with it. Not him.
@jerrysanders9101 I've heard of sardines stuffed into curtain rods...but the chicken leg milk bomb sounds a lot more devious. 🤣🤣🤣
are you sure it wasnt you and not your friend?
My first "adult" job out of college was working the morning shift at a news station at 4:30am. I would seriously have to wake up so early that I could still see people partying from the night before. At 22, it was brutal.
Currently doing this. It’s a good job and pays well but I get up really early. I’m getting coffee and everybody else at the gas station is getting food cause they have the munchies lol
that blows man
After working construction for years I believe every detail of this story. Florentine's unusually ,gravel voice makes him funnier.
This is great. Im a plumber and the literal same stuff happens on my job sights. I work with a bunch of animals. Probably the funniest job I've ever had in my life. For over 20 years I just sit back and stuff starts happening. I have a million stories😄😅👍🤘👏👏👏
Let's hear ya best one! 😂
Any environment where it is predominately male (like above 95%), mostly unsupervised by people in suits and physical in nature has the same stories.
Do ya??
Whattya got? GO
@@juandeznuts I do
So you have a miserable, soul-sucking job and, on top of that, you have someone like Jim Florentine as a coworker...
Jim’s monotone voice 8 hrs haha
Stepping around his shit piles. Just an animal.
don't use the ice cubes
Can't wait to see Jim back on Gutfeld!👍
@Dick Handy I'm a lover of Cox as well friend!!! Enjoying all the bots out there these days
Imagine if Opie had to get a real job before he got into radio, maybe he'd have appreciated it enough not to sabotage the whole thing over his petty feelings...
Hold on hold on hold on !!! The Destroyer has been doing ray dee oh since he was 18. Not only did he hire Anthony, he had to carry him for 20 years and Jimmy for 14 😌And both Howard Stern and Chip Chipperson learned all they know from The Master......Aprahll Fawlzzzz 😛
@@ITILII Homerun Edgar Tss Tss...
Go on now
He'd probably be a successful business owner or boss of something due to his lack of empathy
@hulkhogan2113 if he was going to be a successful business owner, he'd be doing that now. He's a lucky hack.
When I worked construction and had protein farts from my diet I would aim the exhaust of the shop vac at painters or the sheetrockers and fart into the end that sucks it turbo charges and blows the fart directly at whoever you point the shop vac exhaust at. If you catch somebody while they're coughing you can make them throw up I've done it a few times.
😂😂😂couple years ago I worked at a tree trimmer service company as a laborer and drove the truck, which was always packed with 6 workers, sometimes 7 and also ate a lot of protein. There were times when my farts were stinky, and my goodness they were brutal. I would fart in the truck and everyone would complain, raise their shirts to their face. They would blame the oldest guy on the crew for some reason which made it funnier.
You are an artist
fart menace
It makes me wildly happy that this video's length is 2112
That would be a good title for an album
We have to get up and go to work because most of us are talentless hacks. It's either that, or crime.
I was lucky to find a job where I work a mid shift at the office. 11-7. Love it
@DecrepitOrigin888 nope. I was kinda skeptical at first, but it’s good enough for drinking during the week, and good enough for getting errands done during the week as well. I like it. The only thing that may bug someone is if they are stuck in a marriage and have to be at a tradition dinner time (5-7) but it’s cool with me
Yup I honestly dont get our way of life, we live a meaningless existence doing nothing but working, and then we die.
@@rodbelding9523 they need to release a new expansion update.
Worst part of morning radio....waking up and having to deal with Opie.
This episode brought back flashbacks of being a mud man on a masonry crew
Every day is 4 hours of sleep, at this point its been like 5 years of 4-5 hours of sleep and im starting to look forward to that ol' eternal slumber....
Stay strong, man. Exercise helps, gives you better quality sleep, even if the quantity isn't always there.
At least construction and plumbing are respectable jobs. I was A dishwasher bitch for years. That drove me to drink.
could listen to these all day.
These construction stories were BRUTAL. So glad I chose a white collar (programming) job early on. I may may be a nerd, but I'm a comfortable nerd.
Same here. My dad forced me to learn plumbing and I did that for 4 years and payed off my college tuition, I made very decent money after 4 years but my body was a fucking wreck. The guys who stayed in the craft made more money than me but had to lift weights and be in super shape to keep on doing it.
@@billybatts9491 💯 💯💯
@@billybatts9491 Yep. You fart in a cubicle farm and it's a trip to h.r. to discuss your future with the firm
You let one rip on a job site and you get laughs and an "atta boy" from the boss.
You are just soft. Leave the real work to the men
Gayyyyy
Love that Jim has a mic flag from The Gavin McInnes Show
The worst thing about a crappy job are the co-workers and managers who get really into it and are super focused on it. All while you could give a crap. It really is awful.
Idk man my shitty job was great i got paid to read carlin books and other books. (We had a lot of downtime off season)
I hear ya, having to feign enthusiasm for doing something you dread takes a mental toll.
Jim Florentine said stuttering John is a good comic. Never forget
Seeing a rammstein shirt....awesome.
Hard to believe how funny Anthony's radio show was while everyone is eating breakfast
When does Cumia plan on stand up?! For years even famous comedians tell him... just a naturally funny talented guy
I think he should have his own tv show...maybe late night?
He does. I see him a few weeks ago.
.....Jim has always been one of my favorite comics 👍..... I used to refer to him as a poor mans Dax Shepard haha!!!... Most guys can relate 100% to everything he says.....
Dax Shepperd?
Growing up in Long Island I literally had the same fkn exact memory of killing Time at grangier, that is fkn hilarious.
One of the many jobs I had in high school was groundskeeper at a very large, historic cemetery. The old timers took- and kept all the "riding" jobs. So the stupid kids (including me) got to run Electric Trimmers - These were attached to long cords and then plugged into a diesel generator. Four kids go in four directions and start "week whacking" - but the trimmers have metal blades instead of nylon line. They "ting" and KICK if you hit a rock or stump. They're HEAVY and the drop-cords are nicked and dinged and chipped and cracked from years of kids like me abusing them. So... Every now and when, you'd get a JOLT from the dewy grass. We used to PRAY for someone to DIE so we could stop trimming for just a little while to bury them.
Ha! I worked at a cemetery one summer when I was in high school. The full timers were these crazy ex Vietnam vets and assorted alcoholics. During one of the burials they had me go into the hole because it was a double stacked burial (one on top of the of the other…remember those?). I was standing on the cement encasing of the bottom burial and using my shovel to remove rocks to make room for the cement encasing for the top coffin. The old timers were encouraging me to poke at the dirt wall knowing it would eventually strike into an adjacent burial area. Sure enough, my shovel broke through the other side and was poking at a casket that hadn’t been disturbed in 50 years or so. The old timer workers were above me cracking up….insane.
Jim deserves all his success. So funny and the original.
Jim and Ant have the best dam stories. Although,I’ve had some hard hat humor myself.
Hey! You're a dead man! Shaddap Jim!
@@billybatts9491 We’d send the new guy to go find a left handed crescent wrench,and he’d be gone all day. Or the infamous sky hook.
@@billybatts9491 I did 4 years in the army 90-92 in Kuwait and 95-961/2 classified. We use to pull some shit man.
I work construction. All through out my twenties I would average 3 hrs of sleep a night. I'm lucky I survived 😂.
i hear that used to build tracks by day and run trains by night
"suit up" god dammit this is the worst part of shitty jobs, the work itself is whatever who cares I can zone out and get it done, but it's all the peripheral bullshit of management, hr, timeoff, etc, UGH
Fucking hilarious how true this shit is😂 cause I'm still in the construction business. I always thought someone should have written a script for a TV show or movie about a construction crew or crews showing a day in the life or something. Kinda like the movie "waiting" showing the restaurant industry. It would be gold ✨
thats so true. MEanwhile there are endless shows about lawyers, doctors and cops. Waiting is one of the very few movies that focus on the comedy of a terrible service job
I love Florentine’s voice!! Awesome!
oh i remember when he was a part of the stern universe back in the good old days
This is so Long Island construction worker humor.
I used to cut tumbleweeds in the summer in the oilfields of Bakersfield. 110 degrees, and the excitement of wondering if the next weed had a rattlesnake in it. Five bucks an hour though. I felt like a millionaire in the 80s
That’s nuts
When you whipped the snakes would they attack?
Once I was working in a cops house and the plumber left me to do some work while he went to the supply house. I had to shit and there was no working bathroom. I had to shit in a bucket with a home depot bag inside of it. I still wonder about that bag that I put underneath the insulation in the attic and how horrible it must have smelled.
Say what ya want, but Jim Florentine is GOLD. I guess it’s that voice with his jokes, but we love his brand of comedy.🤣
Did you ever hear his story about working with his brother doing construction, and they wrote some crazy shit on the drywall like "my wife died and I buried her here" as a joke, and years later the new homeowner found it and called the cops? I do it no justice, but it's such a funny ass story.
jim Florentine is a lovely man 5:51
Get Sean Oliver on again. That was a great interview and you guys have great chemistry. Also Konan is a real jabroni.
@@quantumcommunities7618 i would but i honestly can't think of a single thing to ask him
Not to pull stereotypes, but I used to work in the fields.
At an apple tree nursery, working on mile long rows of pulling tree shrubbery from last season & readjusting the trees to grow full for harvesting months later.
It’d be icy cold in the morning, & by the end of the day; it’s either been pouring rain for 4 hours straight in spring or bolstering hot in summer.
Plus carrying these heavy rubber boots & plastic pants/coat.
They're so relatable. Making fun out of people with normal jobs.
No wonder I'd never heard of them.
Cause u love working ur normal job… ease off
These stories are all the reasons I love guys! Most women don’t joke around. They can make a job you hate soooo much worse! I would always rather work with a bunch of guys than be stuck in an office full of women.
Ironically the only women that I ever worked with who were tolerable were strippers! Lol 😂🤷🏻♀️
Jesus these guys work ethics sound like my mother's approach to raising me. God bless her. Hense my sence of joy 😜. And yes the crazy violinist is alive, and I thank God for her.
P.s. 🤣🤣🤣 this show.
Funny, I did the same exact shit except I was working in a warehouse with giant machines made in the 50s with retro upgrades that could catch you and press you into a paper thin sheet.
Listened to fuckton of O&A
Oh what a great combo these two are.
Love you guys! Treat Yourself!
I like hearing him talk about that classic radio show
God bless jim florentine. With the Rammstein shirt.
I did landscaping one summer early college days - i.e. taking
rocks out of a new development/lawn. Rocks when it's August 101 degrees.
Rocks, not small ones. With an iron rake. My lifeguard friends thought
I was nuts.
Rammstein T-Shirt. Nice
The way Jim says Su Su-Sudio is hilarious to me
I'm so depressed , this is my life .
Make it funny baby its shit so make it fun
Jim's prank calls are hilarious. The one where he say no no no to that lady and she loses her mind and when he is talking to someone and he is performing and enema on someone is gut busting hilarious.
I'm sure they are all staged.
yeah but did you let Robin Quiver sit on your face? Did you see on hers?
It's like working the graveyard shift. It was always hard to sleep.
16:23 This whole conversation reminds me of the SNL bit with the characters Willie and Frankie. "You ever drive a drill bit right under your fingernail?" "Aw jeez, that smarts." "Yeah, I hate when that happens."
ah, construction site memories. just made some today.
I worked for a window company, 4 stories up on scaffolding the boss got from a scrap yard. Repairing leaky hospital windows...
I'm recovering from Covid and I'm laughing so hard I'm passing out 😂😂😂
Based Florentine with the Rammstein shirt. Neue Deutsche Hart is the way
Florentine is an unsung hero
What they are saying is 100% real shit.
We had good program directors here on 97x back in the day. Shark and joel. Nice guys. More lax than most and very knowlegable about music.
Rammstein!!!
Damn this was a good conversation lol.
This is so damn funny! The crap construction jobs of my 80s. Character and misery. Lol
I worked on a processing vessel in the middle of the Bering Sea and that's probably the worst job I've had next to working at a call center
What were the hours in the Bering sea?
Construction is good work, hard work. I think everyone should have the experience of working their ass off, getting up painfully early to sacrifice their time/bodies for the shit -- if you have a career in construction that’s cool but it woke me up to the fact that I cant do this forever
The hardest I've ever laughed in my life was busting it up on physically demanding job sites. Something about the brutal environment and human psyche adds a special element to the humor.
We were driving the work truck and saw this fat woman selling hot dogs outside a park. I said it would be funny if we bought her a XXXL Dallas Cowboys jersey No. 69 that said HOTDOGSLUT. That was like 5 or 6 years ago and I still get tears having laughing fits about it.
Did you buy it for her??
Construction jobs in my early 20s made me want to be a homeless person. I’d rather work a lame office job
Agreed, when it comes to backbreaking work or a boring office job, always take the office job.
its Jammin' Jim
I swear Jim Florentine was on Compound more than Jim Norton was!
The timed out breaks is the reason why I quit TV. The stupid station I was working for was treating our internet content like it was a TV tease and it's like guys, we don't have to make the same damn video 4 times every day for the INTERNET!
👍🏻 for wearing a Rammstein shirt
Yall should post more on here. This was interesting.
When u start talking about coke u always start sniffing lololol
Just quit a crappy job today!
On to greener pastures I say.
Love Florentine
This is a great duo
RIP Howard Stern.
I just worked a job with Jim’s buddy vinny. Wish I knew that story when I was working with him
We did all the same shit when I did HVAC. We're all the same
Listening to this as a jannie 🧹
Is it just me who thinks Jim looks like Jeremy Clarkson in the thumbnail lol
Jim come on Sussusudiooooooo !
These guys bitching about working 6-10 each day getting paid six figures. I’d kill for that gig.
You said it dude, these radio personalities always complaining about working 4 hours a day for millions of dollars. Really dude? Sitting in a temperature controlled room and cracking jokes is soooo hard lol. Funny as these guys are they are real divas sometimes
These guys both worked plenty of real jobs before getting into radio/comedy.
When is Cumia going to be on Gutfeld!
It's Fox News...good luck.
He used to be on when he was on O and A and when he got fired. But not so much after. Unfortunately they only like shock jocks when they're attacked by cancel culture and the left. Not so much after.
I am just starting on Jim florentines material, prank calls included and I thoroughly enjoy his and ants comedy. Guess I'm still a nobody but hey
florentine's voice sounds like he should be leading a cast of bank robbers whose names include Mr Pink and Mr Blue
