I don't believe I've ever seen "Inclusion" turn into "Extortion" that quickly!🤣

As a Lightening Controller I can state for a fact that there's no such thing as scrap copper !!! There's the material that we install and the bonus materials that we take home!

Ricky is 3 chains and 1 Mohawk away form being the new Mr. T.

The immediate change of the look when he says, "That's enough for this week, I'll be looking for that copper again next Tuesday " 😂😂😂

A weld shop I worked at had Electrians come in to wire up some new overhead cranes and some new outlets in the department I worked in. They'd leave the scraps and their trash all over the area, they'd leave for the day leaving me to walk/work through their mess. They even had the audacity to bitch at the plant manager that the area was too cluttered for them to keep working and that he needed to have his workers clean the area. I was the only one working in that department on nightshift, so I "picked up" all the scraps and their trash for them. When they were done and asked where all the scraps went, I told them "probably at the dump by now, since I'm not an electrician I didn't know what was trash or not so it all went in the dumpster. Maybe you should pick up after yourselves." They finished their job and wouldn't take any jobs from us anymore. Plant manager knew what I did and didn't care because he felt the same way. They should've picked up after themselves.

Copper is one of the many things overbought during a large construction project ...... and magically never "leftover" after the project is completed.

This will be a valuable yet costly lesson for the electricians about proper cleaning procedures.

"Why is it every time copper goes missing, it's 'Blame Roscoe'? 'Oh no, Roscoe's taken all our copper, now we can't make bronze, we'll just have to work with iron instead'. Couldn't be bothered to thank me for where we are today, either..."

I look forward to our talks... employees should learn this phrase in trade school.

Since when did companies have scrap copper? 🤣🤣 I've never seen any.

We call it "Rabbit" because it has a way of hopping off

I ran into the same problem at my job site. We were asked to demo a huge data center. The foreman asked us to get rid of the copper data wires. I look straight into his eyes and said not a problem. 3 days later I get a call that nobody in 1 square mile had no dial tone or internet. He was pissed 😡 15k in copper at $3 per pound 5 trailer loads

Man I’m a commercial plumber we do complete remodeling for a very large fast food chain. I save all of our scrap copper that we install, and the Sparkys just give us their scrap copper . Makes for a very nice rainy day fund😅

Boss man just became the Mafia boss.

Had a couple coworkers abscond with some scrap copper. $30,000 worth to be exact. The only thing that got them caught was the scrap yard called and asked if we had any more. Needless to say, the bosses were quite surprised that the scrap yard was wanting more copper considering they'd never sold them any.

Back when I was in the union. We could keep any scrap copper that was less than 2 foot long. They had these super thick legal boxes on site. I would cut stuff the copper in side one another and fill up the legal box up with every bit I could gather up. Sold my first box for a few hundred dollars. It was a nice bonus on top of my weekly check. Thinking back on the job when I was ordering copper I now understand why they gave me a stink eye when I ordered copper fittings. I had our fitting box filled and stocked far better than anyone other crew. We never ran out of parts and thinking back I could have added bags and bags of fittings that could have walked away. Ordering tools was fun too because they bought these ratchets that broke all the time. Yet all it required was a tiny bit of lock tight on the screw that held the plate on that holds the screw in which keeps the gear in place. When they worked loose they would wobble around and I took around 100 of them and fixed them on the companies time and then sold them to a pawn shop...

Material control is a really important part of a job. Also paying your people so they don't do... certain things... is a great idea too.

The dangerous situation, that is loose tangled wire laying around for someone to trip and fall. I am willing to rid my site of such hazards.😂

You are the funniest guy on any social media websites

Roscoe is a nice guy and funny 😂.

When roscoe said why don't you paint em copper I died 🤣 I still can't stop laughing lol

Buying a Rolex with SCRAP copper? That is a HUGE amount of scrap... at $3.85/lb

He makes a good point. Clean up and it wont go missing!

A friend of mine works in commercial real estate and bought a building that had previously been a call center. We ripped $5000 worth of Cat 3/5/6 out in a weekend and I know he pulled a bunch of electrical wire afterward. I was paid well for my assistance and he got some money back on his purchase before having the whole place gutted and redone.

As an electrician i cannot count the times ive had a 3/4 squatted down with number1 bare copper. Always a nice bonus. That we give to the apprentices or through a job party..

One of the best ones so far please keep them coming😂😂

"Family heirloom.... Naturally" 😂😂

Oh my, that was a cold close !

Any one who lives in the 417 knows you gotta guard those chicken house fans and wires cuz the crack heads gonna come strip it for copper. Half of em got hvac overalls on, you just gotta get them to smile the lack of teeth give them away.

😂😂😂😂 this is one of the best ones yet

Thank you for all the great content man! Makes my day.

That flip was straight 🔥

Oohhh! Boss man gunna find a shovel!

Got a similar issue with my dad. Something’s gone and immediately it's because ive left a mess. Even if what I'm looking for isn't even in my room.

Hey, what happened to fluffy, the guy who identified as a cat?🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Wished copper was worth that much 😂😂😂

lol I may or may not know that all the left over copper feels on the Wolf Hollow II project might have been sold for over 100k….

I love these guys😂❤

It’s so awesome that one guy can be every one there like Ricky n Roscoe n the ToolMan n your the best

The staff have been cashing in that copper, you should pay them more 😂

LMAO!! Pure genius and comedy all in one! ;D This could be a legit show on TV. 100% better than any garbage out right now.

I work in a copper factory, we had to sign a piece of paper saying we will allow them to search our persons and vehichle if asked lol

I love how much you make me laugh 😂😂

" See you next Tuesday" ROTFL!

Oh my lord! 😂 please keeps this going!!

Back in the 70’s I worked for a company that did contract work for the local phone company. On a Friday we placed two complete spools of 900 pair cable. In a ditch that went about a mile long , or little more. The Forman chose not to completely back fill. As two other companies need . To add their cable to it. We came back Saturday morning to finish the job and found all cable gone.

That’s a good boss lol. Love it

I'll see you next week. LOL I'll be looking for the copper again. Ha ha ha

LMAO I f*cking laughed out loud so hard.. Thanks guy(s) and keep up the great work!! 😂😂😂😂

You know if sparkies weren't so deathly afraid of brooms. Ricky and Roscoe well, wets jus say they've been creative moonlighters.

I'd love to see a new loss prevention dude from the company, you know... digging in deep into this situation! Chance to really see them boys sweat!

Lmao that ending was fire

I worked with these dudes one time out of a Labor Ready & we were pulling everything out of the building, Copper too & Grading the Copper we even had a Wire Splitter taking the Rubber Sheath off of the Copper Strands They made so much cash & this was 2010

Copper powder coated! Nice

I love it

lol. love it. i especially like that boss man wants to spend the money on his truck. I’m the same. so many “good” uses for a bonus. but…. somehow they end up on the truck

When i need to smile Mr Breadstick does that for me

Hello from Texas 😊

I was working storm after Hurricane Andrew hit Miami, driving around in my bucket truck in Little Haiti and the folks were looking at the truck with Hog Eyes. Some of the guys got back from their first round of tickets and was saying they were guys running and jumping in the back of the truck passing off reels of #4 bare to a couple guys running beside the truck. Now I called BS on that but they swore on their mommas. After storm was over the same guys had an awful lot of new stuff but hear me out we did make some money on storm work.

They actually do make a couple different lifts for beetles! I looked into getting one for mine.

Copper is amazing when I got my remodel of this house the plumber this asked for all the copper piping and a case and a half. Pex

The extortion knowledge is strong in this one!

cleaning a ton of parking machines out once, asked the manager where they wanted them dumped as it was a council job, he just said make em disappear. so scrappy had em all. all heavy roller shutters, was a nice take-home in my teens, not something one can getaway with nowerdays though

Oh Shit Boss Maaaan got the vig going on

This episode is hilarious

Boss man strikes again

So proud of that Chevy key fob..😂😂😂

As a trucker for many years i can identify. Many high dollar items have mysteriously dissappeard off my semi. Sometimes u gotta grease the wheels make sure everones happy so you dont run into issues with loose lips lol😊

Boss is the boss for a reason. Remember that

Sparkys used to let me keep all the scrap copper from the conduit when they were running it for sweeping up for them, i had like $400 in my trunk at the end of a couple months

So damn true !😂

Lmao he's on to y'all Ricky, Roscoe

Looks like the shop getting upgraded...

I’m a retired electrician and one time we showed up to work and the lock to the gate was cut and a large reel of feeder wire was missing so we called the police, they showed up really fast and the sun was starting to come up as they arrived and they said look at this and you could see the mud tracks from the reel going down the street so they just fallowed it to a house and up a driveway, they peeked over the gate and two men were back there stripping wire, what a coincidence 😂

😂😂,I got a pile once,it was off a demolition and the workers stashed it, I took their pile,and gave it to the scrap man.

Nice new necklace ricky😂😂

For having a full-time safety mat there's a lot of feweleries around.

Lmao the rims get him Every time lmao 😂

shit i was getting paid to go around cleaning up after the elec and pluming for scrap copper wire an cooper pipe . i drove around in my ole shit box chevy fill the bed up with it . asked boss what should i do with it . he told me as long as it scrap an was on the ground take it home with ya so i did . i would haft to say was the best paying job i every had .

That's messed up but still funny 🤣

Would kill for a Rosco version of Dracula Flow.

Ricky is right about the electricians not cleaning up their area, i’ve been on plenty of job sites where they just have a disdain for cleaning up after themselves and then when it gets cleaned up scrap magically comes up missing haha 😂

Bossman's gone for congress! We all going to die!

When copper prices are jogh people tend to be a little bit more tidy.

⚡ sparkys never clean up... So I will

Just how much copper would have to walk away for a situation like this to happen?

Even at the highest copper price, a rolex at $3.40 / lb would be a hell-of-a lot-of-a scrap sir.

Mannn! I hear about electricians leaving messes! And (Roscoe voice!) "Its been a minute since i did electrical, but back in my day! We were ninjas! Except the lights were on! And no trace we'd been there!" Hearing the contrary so much, it must be true!?!?!?? Sad sad day.

As an apprentice electrician, I was taught how to clean up after myself. So no other job crews have to worry about a mess from me

That "copper" gonna be issue soon . 😂😂

Im old enough to have worked for people that gave the workers the copper so they could also have a couple things. The good ole days

Yes

I’m a sparky who has been told he specializes in heavy conductor (500 kcmil and bigger.) It’s a helluva thing, to throw into the company scrap bin your gross of a month of overtime. Sticks in the craw a mite.

Nevermind about the Chevy. My bad. But you sure do love it

hahah good one man

Next Tuesday he's gonna be looking for his rims 😅

Oh no, wait till Ricky finds out what them tungsten carbide teeth can go for! 😂 don’t forget broken hydraulic hammer bits I’m sure he’s seen a few of those too. Or I mean “ not seen” 🤣

What are the odds that the day I watch this is the day I haul copper plates on my flatbed?

No shit, i was doing shutdowns and a crew four guys of our guys would spread out and slowly and descreetly Strategically Transport Equipment to an Alternate Location... The 'entirely empty' 24ft long tool trailer would need news tires every three hours of being hauled back to the company shop, making stops at their houses along the way.

Hope they find the copper.
