The SnowJobs Podcast
That was very popular.
00:12:21
Helicopter Ben
i yeah So that was that was night two of cleanup there. that And I went to Jackie's house and slept for three hours and woke up and chugged a Celsius. And I don't know, a wave of energy hit me and I was ready to run through a brick wall that night.
00:12:38
Helicopter Ben
I was jamming in the pickup and got that song stuck in my head. So I was singing it in loader.
00:12:43
The SnowJobs Podcast
There we go.
00:12:44

00:12:55
RICK JAMES
We'll go with, that well, like you said beginning, there's four guys that are famous, or these guys are all famous on the internet, but i think one was famous before, but we'll go to Tom next.
00:13:07
RICK JAMES
Also known as Unabomber.
00:13:09
The SnowJobs Podcast
ah
00:13:11
RICK JAMES
Yeah, Tom Mack, Bruce, Unabomber, any one of those names.
00:13:14
The SnowJobs Podcast
bru
00:13:17
RICK JAMES
I feel like I should air out the Unabomber.
00:13:20
Helicopter Ben
Right here.
00:13:20
RICK JAMES
That might be a little concerning.
00:13:21
The SnowJobs Podcast
I
00:13:22
RICK JAMES
It's easy with the air. Yeah, okay, why not?
00:13:25
The SnowJobs Podcast
ah ah probably would have gone with Bruce on the video.
00:13:26
RICK JAMES
No. yeah yeah No, the Unabomber, that that was due to an old, that was a bad ID picture. We'd all gotten together after a push one morning or afternoon, and they were checking IDs.
00:13:44
RICK JAMES
My brother actually first made the correlation that my photo strongly resembled the Unabomber mug shots. So...
00:13:55
RICK JAMES
Yeah, and I guess that was the one to stick.
00:13:57
The SnowJobs Podcast
Nice.
00:13:58
RICK JAMES
Maybe
00:13:59
The SnowJobs Podcast
Any websites you want to plug at all, Tom, while you're here?

RICK JAMES
The blooper reel is coming. Maddie and Matt said there's going to be a big a blooper reel. ah So I can't wait for that. I haven't seen anything, obviously, from that. But I can't wait to wait to see what they come up with. That's going to be pretty funny stuff.
00:22:56
RICK JAMES
We'll probably just release them on Instagram or something.
00:22:56
Helicopter Ben
nobody
00:22:58
RICK JAMES
so
00:22:58
Helicopter Ben
Nobody hit anything when you were on camera that Jeremy didn't know about, right?
00:22:59
The SnowJobs Podcast

00:23:09

00:23:10
RICK JAMES
So don't worry.
00:23:11
Helicopter Ben
the
00:23:11
RICK JAMES
If I miss something, I won't.
00:23:13
The SnowJobs Podcast
what When you saw the episode, was it what you thought it would be? Or like I don't know. What did you think? What did you have in your mind it looking like? Did it look like what you thought it would look like in your mind? Or was it different?
00:23:26
RICK JAMES
Well, like when, when we watch it, like the first thing i asked Jeremy was like, how much money do they spend on this? Cause, cause it, it, It looks like they spent a shit ton of money on it.
00:23:33
Helicopter Ben
Thanks.
00:23:36
The SnowJobs Podcast
It was pretty high quality.
00:23:36
RICK JAMES
It looks professional. Yeah, it's high quality.
00:23:38
The SnowJobs Podcast
It was pretty high quality.
00:23:38
RICK JAMES
It really shows. is
00:23:41
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah, that was good.
00:23:42
RICK JAMES
but
00:23:42
The SnowJobs Podcast
um
00:23:42
RICK JAMES
I think for like three days of footage, they did the best they could narrow it down. I mean, there was there was so much footage that they got in 45 minutes.
00:23:51
The SnowJobs Podcast
Thank you.
00:23:51
RICK JAMES
You could have done two or three episodes off of the stuff they probably got, you know.
00:23:56
The SnowJobs Podcast
Sure. Yeah. You wanted to hit the big four things that Glacier does. You wanted to hit the push. You wanted to hit the hauling, the snow blowing and, uh, you know, the salting. So, I mean, you wanted to get all four of those things in and I think they did a great job of doing that. They, they got good footage of all of it. And I think it's just, they meshed it together.
00:24:14
The SnowJobs Podcast
Excellent. It was, it was, it flowed great. I thought you guys did great. I would have liked to have seen, I was a little disappointed. We didn't get to see like ah a lunch break or anything at the brick house.
00:24:26
RICK JAMES
That happened when I let them go that first day. That's where we all went for the burkhals for a couple of hours.
00:24:30
The SnowJobs Podcast
i I know. I just, I thought it would make the real, I mean, you guys talk about it so much.
00:24:32
RICK JAMES
Yeah. I don't know. I'm not charge of that.
00:24:36
The SnowJobs Podcast
and but
00:24:36
RICK JAMES
I'm not in charge of that.
00:24:37
Helicopter Ben
Yeah.
00:24:37
RICK JAMES
That's Matt and Maddie's department.
00:24:38
The SnowJobs Podcast
ah Brick house should have got in there.
00:24:40
Helicopter Ben

00:24:42
RICK JAMES
They were shot.
00:24:44
Helicopter Ben
and And I'll give Matt a shout out and Matty a shout out.
00:24:44
RICK JAMES
They were shot. I don't
00:24:47
Helicopter Ben
They did a great job. But Matt was outside in the storm all the time. I mean, anywhere you went, he was standing outside filming.
00:24:53
RICK JAMES
know.
00:24:56
Helicopter Ben
And it wasn't just he got out of his vehicle for five minutes. He was out there when we did apartments. He was out for the hour that we were in the apartments. I mean, just walking around and yourre there he is, you know.
00:25:09
Helicopter Ben

00:25:11
RICK JAMES

00:25:15
RICK JAMES
he definitely he was definitely everywhere and yeah it wasn't it was pretty cold when we filmed was what december 20th or 18th or whatever it was i mean it was uh it was a cold storm plus all the wind wind chills so
00:25:28
The SnowJobs Podcast
Oh, yeah. Fargo wind. Absolutely. um I got to ask you, when you guys were just getting started, were you nervous?
00:25:38
Helicopter Ben
Oh, yeah.
00:25:39
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah.
00:25:39
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
00:25:39
Helicopter Ben
Oh, yeah.
00:25:39
RICK JAMES
For the filming, you mean?
00:25:40
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah, for filming.
00:25:42
Helicopter Ben
Yeah.
00:25:42
RICK JAMES
Yeah. I mean, you just... Basically, you don't want to mess up because it's on camera. You know it'll make the video then, but... I mean, it's usually a lot of times you can maybe hide it, but not then.
00:25:54
RICK JAMES
so Well, like, so we're we're showing up to hook loaders up and Tom calls me.
00:25:55
Helicopter Ben
Yeah.
00:25:55
The SnowJobs Podcast
So...
00:25:59
RICK JAMES
He's like, he's like dude, where you at? I was like, um um'm I'm about five minutes away. He's like, there's some guy walking around with the camera out here and I'm the only one here. Do I get out? Like, I don't want to be the only one here. I was like, I don't want to be just me and you there either. So, but yeah, so we were a little nervous.
00:26:17
RICK JAMES
Then we're hooking up plows and Maddie's standing behind the plow. And I made an absolute fool myself trying to hook that plow up.
00:26:24
Helicopter Ben
yeah
00:26:24
RICK JAMES
I sat there for 10 minutes trying to hook the up.
00:26:26
Helicopter Ben
ah true
00:26:26
RICK JAMES
So I was like, I hope that doesn't make it because I look stupid.
00:26:29
Helicopter Ben
yeah Well, and all of us, all of us run.
00:26:30
The SnowJobs Podcast
Oh
00:26:31
RICK JAMES
I usually hook the paws up for them.
00:26:32
Helicopter Ben
Mm-hmm.
00:26:33
RICK JAMES
That time i had I actually had a crew come in and help me. So i thought it would look cooler if everything were coming out shop and stuff.
00:26:35
Helicopter Ben
yes no
00:26:39
The SnowJobs Podcast
ah no
00:26:39
RICK JAMES
and but oh All of a sudden, the guys, I ask them all time to come help, and nobody shows up until push time. And I'm like, this time everybody was here. was like, oh, this took like, I don't know, 20 minutes to hook everything up.
00:26:49
RICK JAMES
It's been two and a half hours. so
00:26:52
The SnowJobs Podcast
oh man, that's great.
00:26:52
Helicopter Ben
And and all of us all of us run big loaders. So the first thing that virtually goes out of the shop is all the minis. So the cant the drone goes up and they're walking around and all of us are trying to figure out how to hook up the John Deere because the buttons it are completely different than the cat.
00:26:59
The SnowJobs Podcast
Mm-hmm.
00:27:10
Helicopter Ben
And it was ah it was a little bit of a shit show there when we started out.
00:27:14
RICK JAMES
They should gotten that phone call like recorded. because it was like like, dude, how do you hook this thing up?
00:27:17
Helicopter Ben
Yeah.
00:27:19
RICK JAMES
Where's the quick tap button on this thing? I don't know. Jeremy usually does it for me.
00:27:25
Helicopter Ben
yeah yeah
00:27:25
The SnowJobs Podcast
Oh my God, that's great.
00:27:27
RICK JAMES
yeah
00:27:28
Helicopter Ben
I
00:27:28
The SnowJobs Podcast
That's great. So you guys were nervous. How long did it take for for you to just, you know, do what you guys do a hundred times winner? You know, like how long did it take to settle in and forget the camera was there, forget the mics were there?
00:27:40
RICK JAMES
I don't think you forgot. play
00:27:42
The SnowJobs Podcast
No.
00:27:42
RICK JAMES
It's right there facing you. You know, Ben looked at it twice right away. So he made sure he was still there.
00:27:47
Helicopter Ben
can make sure it was on. i make sure it was on
00:27:49
RICK JAMES
So, yeah. Yeah.
Overcoming Nerves and Mic Challenges
00:27:52
RICK JAMES
oh
00:27:53
The SnowJobs Podcast
aaron Aaron did his best to to make it look like he was avoiding looking at it.
00:27:57
RICK JAMES
yeah
00:27:57
The SnowJobs Podcast
Everybody can tell he wanted to.
00:27:59
RICK JAMES
yeah To be completely honest myself, it was on me quite a bit, and I forgot about it after while. I didn't think about it. I can't even imagine the shit I said because I forgot my mic was on me. Then those other spots we went and I was at, they mic'd me and had cameras. i Honestly, they or two forgot it was on me, so it was like, oh, wonder what the hell I was saying.
00:28:18
RICK JAMES
sure I'm sure there's a lot of stuff in there that will not be aired. Yeah.
00:28:23
The SnowJobs Podcast
You definitely looked exhausted when you were doing your wrap up on the episode.
00:28:26
RICK JAMES
yeah i was Yeah, I was tired i to earlier i morning that morning.
00:28:27
The SnowJobs Podcast
like, that is tired, Jeremy.
00:28:30
RICK JAMES
That was the third day. think I got home and I probably slept probably an hour, hour and a half. And I was actually a half an hour late because I shut my alarm off and Maddie called me. She's like, are we meeting over here? I'm like, oh, shit.
00:28:42
RICK JAMES
So was like, yeah, I'll be there in a minute. So, yeah, I look pretty tired in that one.
00:28:46
Helicopter Ben
up
00:28:46
The SnowJobs Podcast
Oh, yeah. ya ah
00:28:47
Helicopter Ben
my what
00:28:49
RICK JAMES
But as ah that was a it was a good run.
00:28:50
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yep.
00:28:51
RICK JAMES
it was definitely good run. So.
00:28:53
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah, three days. That was a lot.
00:28:54
Helicopter Ben
My opinion on that question there, Steve, is that I think everybody was kind of nervous when we started out and we're all in the shop before we take off.
00:29:05
Helicopter Ben
And once we got out, then, I mean, we went and did our things, but, the chat was a little bit toned back for probably the first two, three hours. And then then, I think everybody kind of was like, wow, let's just be normal and have fun and say what we got to say.
00:29:20
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yep.
00:29:22
RICK JAMES
yeah
00:29:22
Helicopter Ben
So, uh,
00:29:25
RICK JAMES
My point of view, but i what I noticed, I could be wrong too, but the first night you guys are did your thing, whatever, and then –
00:29:25
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yep.
00:29:34
RICK JAMES
By the morning were getting a little better. but But the second night when Matt and Maddie were here, when we got started, it was like they were part of the family by then. So then everybody was, it's a free for all.
00:29:41
The SnowJobs Podcast
yep Yeah.
00:29:42
RICK JAMES
was Everybody was didn't care anymore. i mean, you could probably see it on all the cameras and stuff. they just Everybody just let it, I mean, I think when Aaron and Matt had their moment, that kind of set the tone for the night.
00:29:54
RICK JAMES

00:29:56
The SnowJobs Podcast

00:29:59
Helicopter Ben
Well, and two, remember Snowboss?
00:29:59
The SnowJobs Podcast
ah That's great.
00:30:03
Helicopter Ben
You didn't want to be mic'd up and camera'd up. I had to convince Matt and Maddie to put it on you because it was between you and Dan.
00:30:06
RICK JAMES
Yeah, i was I was being resilient. i
00:30:12
Helicopter Ben
And Dan's like, don't care. don't care. was like, just put it on Snowboss. Put on Snowboss.
00:30:16
RICK JAMES

Helicopter Ben
And, yeah.
00:30:18
The SnowJobs Podcast
Gotta be snow boss.
00:30:21
RICK JAMES
didn't notice, like, I think patients were running a little thin by, like, the third night. There was a few more bleeps from Jackie. I was getting pretty owly by the third night. Yeah, yeah. I mean, like,
00:30:34
RICK JAMES
it's It's unfortunate because that LaRue blower, it's a really nice blower, but that really takes the brunt of my frustrations like the second or third night. It's really unfortunate. so The shear bolts? The shear bolts are tough. Truck drivers?
00:30:48
RICK JAMES
Truck drivers are worse. Yeah. like Watching the video, I was watching the one the one Western straight truck. yeah mustard straight truck It kept getting further away from me. i looked at my wife, I was like, you know what I'm saying right now?
00:30:59
RICK JAMES
was like, where the fuck is he going?
00:30:59
Helicopter Ben
Yeah.
00:31:01
RICK JAMES
It's always all we do.
00:31:03
The SnowJobs Podcast
but
00:31:04
RICK JAMES
Just kept getting further and further away.
00:31:04
The SnowJobs Podcast
Well, that should have made it in.
00:31:06
Helicopter Ben
yeah
00:31:06
The SnowJobs Podcast
ah should have made it in.
00:31:08
RICK JAMES
i want to I want to hear the the mic stuff.
00:31:08
Helicopter Ben
and
00:31:08
The SnowJobs Podcast
oh man
00:31:11
RICK JAMES
I think they had me mic'd up that third night. We started hauling. We started at Asensio Sanford down at South U. We had trucks everywhere, and guys were not going where they were supposed to I was pissed.
00:31:22
RICK JAMES
I was trying to hurt all these truck drivers and trying to get them going. i'm like, this is not that hard. We do this all the time. and it's like it It was a complete shit show for the first half hour.
00:31:28
Helicopter Ben
Everybody
00:31:32
RICK JAMES
and and Once we got everybody figured out, was like, But I guarantee there is some stuff on that tape that ain't going to be aired. so There was some frustrations that third night of that haul. Yeah. Yeah. The curb had already been taken on.
00:31:42
Helicopter Ben
was very...
00:31:46
Helicopter Ben
but
00:31:46
RICK JAMES
But, I mean, that long a push, it's natural for anyone. I mean, you're out three days or two days or something, you're going to be exhausted.
00:31:50
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah.
00:31:51
Helicopter Ben
ah
00:31:54
The SnowJobs Podcast
Absolutely.
00:31:54
RICK JAMES
But you push through and patience is going to be thin, you know?
00:31:57
The SnowJobs Podcast
That's real.
00:31:58
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
00:31:58
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah, that that's real.
00:31:59
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
00:32:00
The SnowJobs Podcast
I mean that.
00:32:00
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
00:32:01
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah, I would have. I would have actually liked to have seen some more curse and stuff like frustration.
00:32:06
Helicopter Ben
Well, there was plenty of it.
00:32:07
RICK JAMES
Yeah, there was on the, on the there was, but i think for YouTube, they had to edit a lot of that out.
00:32:07
The SnowJobs Podcast
i think.
00:32:11
RICK JAMES
I think it's one, because the first couple of views I got, there's a lot of F-bombs in there from myself.
00:32:12
The SnowJobs Podcast
Oh, OK.
00:32:18
RICK JAMES
When we were working on that hitch and stuff like that, yeah, it wasn't, that was every other word was an F-bomb, so.
00:32:18
Helicopter Ben
Yeah.
00:32:18
The SnowJobs Podcast
Really?
00:32:25
The SnowJobs Podcast
It's amazing on camera how quick the repairs get done. That was crazy funny to me.
00:32:30
RICK JAMES
They never, honestly, they didn't think that long. It was actually a good storm. We didn't have really anything go wrong, so it was pretty quick.
00:32:35
The SnowJobs Podcast
No. No, a couple simple things.
00:32:37
RICK JAMES
and thanks so I think the big storms less break than the yeah storm. Yeah, 100%.
00:32:41
RICK JAMES
Dustings, it's a nightmare for maintenance.
00:32:41
The SnowJobs Podcast
Oh, absolutely.
00:32:42
The SnowJobs Podcast
Absolutely.
00:32:45
RICK JAMES
you know Because you think it's going to an easy night, nothing's going to go wrong. That's when shit just hits the fan.
00:32:48
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yep. 100%. 100%. hundred percent hundred percent
00:32:52
RICK JAMES
and I I did see a few comments on some of the sites. After the trailer came out, to some guys, oh, more manufactured drama, blah, blah, blah. There's zero manufactured drama in this in this on these on any of these episodes that are coming out and ours.
00:33:08
RICK JAMES
It's all real. and nothing We didn't make anything up. this That's just way it is. that's that's so Well, well.
00:33:14
The SnowJobs Podcast
That was actually set...
00:33:15
RICK JAMES
What?
00:33:16
Helicopter Ben
I don't know.
00:33:16
The SnowJobs Podcast
oh
00:33:17
RICK JAMES
I don't know. I've only seen Jeremy push shopping carts once. Oh, bullshit.
00:33:21
Helicopter Ben
ah fucking
00:33:21
RICK JAMES
I was like, I've never seen him do that.
00:33:23
Helicopter Ben
yeah
00:33:27
The SnowJobs Podcast
no
00:33:27
RICK JAMES
No, no, no, no. I push Yeah. I don't even know why I did that night. Because the camera was sitting next to you.
00:33:34
Helicopter Ben
Lexi did ask that. While
00:33:38
RICK JAMES
i didn't even think honestly I didn't even think of that because I was like, because you guys were all pushing. was like, oh, shit. Because they were everywhere. They were everywhere. It was bad. So I was like, I've got to help these guys.
00:33:48
RICK JAMES
have to get this going. But I've pushed cards many times.
00:33:49
Helicopter Ben
Lexi did ask that,
00:33:52
RICK JAMES
Yeah. Must have been gone.
00:33:54
Helicopter Ben
but one
00:33:54
The SnowJobs Podcast
That's funny.
00:33:54
RICK JAMES
no yeah Well, you guys do skip. Yeah.
00:33:59
Helicopter Ben
My wife did ask that.
00:33:59
The SnowJobs Podcast
That is funny.
00:34:00
Helicopter Ben
She goes, does Jeremy actually get out and push carts? And i was like, I don't, I wouldn't say he drives around to every parking lot and pushes all the carts away, but every once in while he will.
00:34:03
RICK JAMES
Thank you.
00:34:04
The SnowJobs Podcast
No.
00:34:09
RICK JAMES
No.
00:34:10
Helicopter Ben
Yeah.
00:34:10
RICK JAMES
Yeah, every once in a while. I never said do it every time.
00:34:11
Helicopter Ben
Yeah. Yeah.
00:34:13
RICK JAMES
You guys usually got it under control.
00:34:13
Helicopter Ben
yeah
00:34:14
RICK JAMES
I think the once in while is like – It's literally not our job. and i mean I mean, we do it, but it's – we're supposed to go in and tell them to get out there and push the carts, which they never do or rarely do.
00:34:20
Helicopter Ben
yeah
00:34:26
RICK JAMES
and But, yeah, I mean – Maybe the last one is like you would turn and you hit it with the plow or something, but I don't know that was the only time I've seen maybe. We'll keep an eye on this. I'll definitely make sure I – see what but He's always in the shadows, so you never know where he's lurking. So you might just be doing it when we're not paying attention. because they know it I always kind of sneak up on him because they don't think I'm where I'm at. so You can't take a cat nap because he's always there.
00:34:53
The SnowJobs Podcast
how how do you sneak up on them with a truck that's lit up like an alien spaceship that thing is oh my good lord that well i didn't see him with the lights off at all during that whole thing those lights were on oh my goodness
00:34:53
RICK JAMES
We don't take a cat nap.
00:34:55
Helicopter Ben
He
00:34:59
RICK JAMES
You turn the lights off.
00:34:59
Helicopter Ben
turns the lights off. He turns the lights off.
00:35:02
RICK JAMES
You're going going on
00:35:07
Helicopter Ben
Incognito mode. Incognito mode.
00:35:08
RICK JAMES
Yeah. Not everything was recorded, Steve.
00:35:12
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah. um and But no, to get back to that point, though, that was one thing in like all the pre-production meetings when we were discussing stuff ah that was actually brought up like there will be no artificial drama.
Real Drama and Learning Experiences
00:35:24
The SnowJobs Podcast
Like there will be no manufacturer. We are not going to look for any of that. Whatever is happening is going to happen on film naturally or it's not going to happen. And that was that was huge. Like, we were very adamant about that.
00:35:36
The SnowJobs Podcast
And ah so everybody, you know, whatever happens actually happened naturally in its own course.
00:35:38
Helicopter Ben
Thanks.
00:35:43
The SnowJobs Podcast
There is nothing manufactured about it. It's all real guys doing it in real time. So...
00:35:49
Helicopter Ben
The one storm, I was gone, driving back from Minneapolis, and I was on the phone with these guys, and I brought up to Jeremy, and I said, you know, what with NIL, name, injur image like this, so how much are we going to get paid for this, Jeremy?
00:36:04
Helicopter Ben
And Jeremy said, well, you don't have to be in it if you don't want to. So there was no pay.
00:36:07
RICK JAMES
right
00:36:09
Helicopter Ben
There was no nothing.
00:36:09
The SnowJobs Podcast
oh that's it no it really was you guys you guys killed it you look great you you did a great job you know you hit a couple curbs broke a couple shear bolts and any pucks i didn't see any pucks get broken no pucks wow
00:36:10
Helicopter Ben
This was all straight up as normal as a normal night would happen at Glacier.
00:36:28
RICK JAMES
I know. i It was pretty good. I don't think we had much that night, honestly. Even that last big push we had a couple weeks ago, there were hardly any – Rubber's broken that night too, so surprising. Which is impressive. That was wet That was wet. That was some wet snow. Concrete.
00:36:43
Helicopter Ben
you know
00:36:44
RICK JAMES
Yeah. We're usually good with couple.
00:36:44
The SnowJobs Podcast
Well, one of one of the first comments I got from somebody was, those guys know how to push an Arctic into a pile. Because it was a perfect like perfect glide slope up the pile, no ramming.
00:36:56
Helicopter Ben
know
00:36:57
The SnowJobs Podcast
I'm like, man, these guys know they're on camera. Yeah.
00:37:00
RICK JAMES
No, no.
00:37:00
The SnowJobs Podcast
ah yeah yeah
00:37:02
RICK JAMES
They all know what they're doing. I mean, I i agree.
00:37:04
The SnowJobs Podcast
i
00:37:04
Helicopter Ben
that's
00:37:05
RICK JAMES
Like... we We've broken rubbers to get to that point, though. We've hit the pile wrong.
00:37:11
Helicopter Ben
yeah
00:37:12
RICK JAMES
you know we've We've had that limp section and stuff. I thought it was all sunrod.
00:37:16
The SnowJobs Podcast
Mm-hmm.
00:37:21
RICK JAMES
You always talk about sunrod. The sunrod on those rubbers is not good for them.
00:37:28
Helicopter Ben
They weaken them. They weaken them.
00:37:30
RICK JAMES
You've broken a few rubbers and you've learned from it, but it's... yeah after after jeremy finds out you've broken a few rubbers then you don't do it as as often anymore like like you notice you notice like he never hears about us breaking rubbers because we all sneak back to the shop but yeah yeah i've heard of that too right yeah i like like a year later i'll hear about it right i've been at the shop repairing rubbers and he's called on the radio he's like where you at just just around
00:37:46
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah. Yeah.
00:37:59
RICK JAMES
What you mean? I'll just pull the GPS up. Oh, you're in the shop. yeah yeah
00:38:03
Helicopter Ben
Thank you.
00:38:05
The SnowJobs Podcast
Oh, man. But yeah, no, that looked right out of the Arctic training video. The the first time going up the pile. i'm like, oh, these guys know they're on camera.
00:38:12
RICK JAMES
okay
00:38:13
The SnowJobs Podcast
That's great.
00:38:14
RICK JAMES
Steve, going off like you're being real, but i like one of my top like top two moments of the video was
00:38:15
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah.
00:38:22
RICK JAMES
was like the introduction. There's this guy, I think in a mini loader, and his face changed. Like, you know he hits something. And I'm like, I know that face because I've had that face.
00:38:31
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yes. Yeah.
00:38:35
RICK JAMES
Yeah, it happens.
00:38:36
The SnowJobs Podcast
yeah
00:38:37
RICK JAMES
And then you see Jackie and you see Tom. It happens, but you know. It's part of the game. Yeah, you try your best, but it happens.
00:38:44
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yep. know exactly the clip you're talking about. I think that is Yeah.

00:38:56
The SnowJobs Podcast

00:38:59
RICK JAMES
yeah It is what it is. We don't try get it, but it happens.
00:39:01
Helicopter Ben
okay and that cure
00:39:02
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah, like when you take out some landscape rock cutting the curve to too short.
00:39:03
RICK JAMES
paper Yeah, you know what really sucks is that little island has not moved.
00:39:06
The SnowJobs Podcast
it Same face. Oh, oh, oh. Oh, man.
00:39:11
RICK JAMES
It's been there for years.
00:39:11
Helicopter Ben
All
00:39:12
RICK JAMES
and i've followed that lot for years, and I hit it every year. That's gas station. Yeah, that stupid gas station.
00:39:17
The SnowJobs Podcast
Oh, man.
00:39:17
RICK JAMES
And the snow is just deep enough, and often to the sun is just right. You don't see anything. hey you
00:39:21
Helicopter Ben
right.
00:39:22
RICK JAMES
You went right back, got on the horse, went for next pass, and you missed it. You missed it. We all know, buddy. Was those the rocks that broke the bolt? No. No.
00:39:33
RICK JAMES
not
00:39:33
The SnowJobs Podcast
Oh, man.
00:39:34
RICK JAMES
no
00:39:34
Helicopter Ben
That curb, the curb that Tom hit, every year someone finds that curb in that same.
00:39:42
RICK JAMES
That's Southview, wasn't it? Yeah.
00:39:43
Helicopter Ben
Yeah, that that one's been hit multiple times for the last couple of years.
00:39:47
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
00:39:49
RICK JAMES
It's this's not chipped up, though, surprisingly.
00:39:50
Helicopter Ben
That's a bad curve.
00:39:51
RICK JAMES
I don't know. We know about it. We're very careful.
00:39:54
Helicopter Ben
Yeah.
00:39:54
RICK JAMES
that one
00:39:55
Helicopter Ben
Yeah. Yeah.
00:39:56
RICK JAMES
Yeah, it's, I mean. Like, anyone that's, like, moved a pile, no matter how slow you hit that curve, it just, it stops you. Like, you could be crawling like a turtle.
00:40:07
RICK JAMES
You know what's coming. You know what's coming. You're waiting, you're waiting, you're waiting.
00:40:10
Helicopter Ben
yeah
00:40:10
RICK JAMES
It just jolts the loader.
00:40:11
Helicopter Ben
Oh, there it is.
00:40:11
RICK JAMES
It doesn't matter how slow you do. You're, like, starting lifting slowly.
00:40:14
Helicopter Ben
There it is
00:40:15
RICK JAMES
I'm going to clear, right? Nope.
00:40:18
Helicopter Ben

00:40:38
RICK JAMES

00:40:48
The SnowJobs Podcast
hu Oh man, that's great. You guys are so funny. ah
00:40:53

RICK JAMES
No, it really wasn't.
00:43:35
The SnowJobs Podcast

I hope they come back next year.
00:43:57
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah.
00:43:57
RICK JAMES
yeahp yeah If we do this again, they i mean I think we'll do season two.
00:43:58
The SnowJobs Podcast
That's awesome.
00:44:01
RICK JAMES
And I honestly, I think we have to be hit every year here because.
00:44:04
The SnowJobs Podcast
oh Oh, okay.
00:44:06
Helicopter Ben
I would agree.
00:44:06
The SnowJobs Podcast
He's making demands now.
00:44:06
RICK JAMES
the
00:44:08
The SnowJobs Podcast
but
00:44:08
Helicopter Ben
yeah
00:44:08
RICK JAMES
but with Number one, does I'm part of the I'm it's no job and storm.
00:44:12
The SnowJobs Podcast
True. It's true.
00:44:13
RICK JAMES
So I'm so I'm definitely going to put us in it.
00:44:14
The SnowJobs Podcast
That is true.
00:44:17
RICK JAMES
But like.
00:44:17
The SnowJobs Podcast
Going to campaign. Maybe you should do that video. Maybe you should do the, hey, here's why you should have us again video with with your your whole crew.
00:44:19
RICK JAMES
report
00:44:24
The SnowJobs Podcast
Do some song and dance stuff.
00:44:24
RICK JAMES
Yeah, I have a vote in it too, Steve, so I vote for myself.
00:44:27
The SnowJobs Podcast
No, I'm just saying. Oh, man, it's great. But yeah, no, I mean, obviously I think that'd be no brainer. Everybody loves watching Glacier do what they do. So that would be, uh, that would definitely be a good episode to do every year.
00:44:41
RICK JAMES
Hell yeah.
00:44:41
The SnowJobs Podcast
Uh, if, if the doctor can get you some snow, you gotta see, I mean, you had two down years in a row.
00:44:45
RICK JAMES
i
00:44:46
The SnowJobs Podcast
We were lucky enough to get that store. Was that the best storm that you guys had?
00:44:50
RICK JAMES
It was either this one or the last one we had. so The last one was probably a little better.
00:44:53
The SnowJobs Podcast
Hmm.
00:44:57
RICK JAMES
I think that one was more enjoyable. This last wet, heavy snow was a pain.
00:45:03
Helicopter Ben
yeah
00:45:03
RICK JAMES
couldn't have asked for a better snow for them to come up. yeah for more it it was It was a good one.
00:45:05
Helicopter Ben
Yeah.
00:45:05
The SnowJobs Podcast
not
00:45:07
Helicopter Ben
That was the best, at that point, that was the best snow we had in two years.
00:45:07
RICK JAMES
couple
00:45:11
RICK JAMES
years.
00:45:11
Helicopter Ben
Five inches, nine hours.
00:45:12
The SnowJobs Podcast
Really?
00:45:13
RICK JAMES
Like five and a half. I can't remember what it was.
00:45:15
Helicopter Ben
Yeah.
00:45:15
RICK JAMES
Right around there.
00:45:18
Helicopter Ben
The last one that we had, that was seven, but, you know, how much of it actually accumulated on the parking lot?
00:45:22
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
00:45:23
Helicopter Ben
I mean, we didn't push actually seven inches of snow.
00:45:24
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah.
00:45:26
RICK JAMES
No.
00:45:27
Helicopter Ben
But that's how... Snow pushing should be here in Fargo.
00:45:31
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah.
00:45:31
Helicopter Ben
You know, nice five inches or, man, we what would we do for a 14-inch storm, boys? I mean, like it used to be.
00:45:37
RICK JAMES
Yeah, it's
00:45:39
Helicopter Ben
It's been a long time, you know, 30 hours in a payloader. That'd be nice.
00:45:42
RICK JAMES
been a while. But even that five inch snow, we had the wind. So it was, I mean, we... We push it and then we blow back. cra I mean, it was a huge win like we've had in the past, but i mean, it it was a, you know, it was an event, I guess. I mean, you
00:45:56
The SnowJobs Podcast
Well, that was what I was going to say. I wish that they had more footage of drifting, like to show what you guys deal with, because we're always talking about it. We're always talking about the wind and the drifts.
00:46:05
RICK JAMES
know.
00:46:06
The SnowJobs Podcast
Like, I wish they had some footage of of how bad the drifts are out there when you guys are doing it.
00:46:11
RICK JAMES
Well, there's there's like there's like big drifts, which we didn't really get that last one, but like in some of the drone shots, You can tell. You look out across a parking lot. You can tell it's with problems, but there's yellow drifts all across it.
00:46:19
The SnowJobs Podcast
Sure. Yep.
00:46:22
RICK JAMES
yeah
00:46:22
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yep.
00:46:23
RICK JAMES
you know that's That's probably the more frustrating side part of it because you have to touch every inch of that lot of you.
00:46:23
The SnowJobs Podcast
You could tell that.
00:46:28
RICK JAMES
like You make a pass, and it looks better behind the pass.
00:46:28
Helicopter Ben
you
00:46:31
RICK JAMES
So you're like, well, I got to do it again.
00:46:32
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yep.
00:46:33
RICK JAMES
yeah you know It's just kind the standard you know that we try to achieve.
00:46:35
The SnowJobs Podcast
Absolutely.
00:46:38
RICK JAMES
so i think there be I think they probably have some D-rolls probably better drifts.
00:46:39
The SnowJobs Podcast
Absolutely.
00:46:44
RICK JAMES
coming from Cameron out at the industrial park where it really blows in out there. i mean, they might have some more, more kind of his, he had a camera in his loader too.
00:46:55
RICK JAMES
So I'm guessing he was the one with the angle blow on that you saw for a while, but, ah and I'm guessing there's some drifts out there that he probably could have shown by some more of. So that'd be really drifts out there at that place.
00:47:06
Helicopter Ben
In the period
00:47:06
The SnowJobs Podcast
Gotcha.
00:47:07
RICK JAMES
We've had some monster drifts up there. Yeah.
00:47:11
Helicopter Ben
and if you
00:47:11
The SnowJobs Podcast
Was there anything you guys didn't like about the experience?
00:47:17
RICK JAMES
like about the act like the actual experience of having a character?
00:47:21
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah. of Being miked up and filmed.
00:47:23
RICK JAMES
No, like, honestly, like, I think anyone other than Matt and Maddie, like, someone, I don't know how to say it, that doesn't sound like, sound not nice.
00:47:33
RICK JAMES
Yeah, like someone that that would take this too seriously, take themselves too seriously.
00:47:36
The SnowJobs Podcast
doesn't fit in somebody that doesn't fit in with you guys seamlessly.
00:47:40
RICK JAMES
Yeah. Yeah, like Matt and Maddie, like, really, like, really meshed with us really well.
00:47:41
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah.
00:47:44
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
00:47:44
The SnowJobs Podcast
Good.
00:47:45
RICK JAMES
So, anyone other than that, like,
00:47:45
Helicopter Ben
but When they got a
00:47:47
RICK JAMES
We've had we've had like news reporters out here and stuff like that. you They're fine, but but this was this was it was a good experience. I don't think any of us would have anything to say bad about it.
00:47:58
RICK JAMES
No. I think if someone was tried try to get us to do something, we're like, no, we're not doing that. We're just pushing the snow like we normally do. like They just let us do our thing. You somebody tries to give us direction of, oh, we want this shot.
00:48:11
RICK JAMES
I'm like, no, figure that on your own. we're gonna We're doing what we do. And that's we're not doing anything for a camera like we just got done talking about.
00:48:14
Helicopter Ben
Thank you.
00:48:15
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yep. yep
00:48:17
RICK JAMES
We're we're not doing anything special for a camera. We're just pushing snow like we always do. And for another thing, like on cleanup nights stuff like that, we'll we'll put a lot of loaders on a lot because it's cleanup night and and we're just trying to get through these lots and we're not in a rush the guys love working together so we're going to put some more loaders than we normally that's not an every night thing but we just do that it's it's a kind of morale thing plus it doesn't really matter for the the contracts we have on these spots it's ain't going to make a difference plus we we're so efficient and that's where you saw the guys having fun and stuff like that and there's
00:48:49
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yep.
Morale, Camaraderie, and Challenges in Snow Pushing
00:48:51
RICK JAMES
Nothing wrong with that. that's ah That's what keeps our morale up, keeps the guys entertained, wanting them come back for more. And like I've said, probably every podcast I talk about our call. Our call is the thing that most people don't have. And these guys have all became best friends just from being on this call. I mean, some of them might have known each other, but now they all no they're all just buds. They talk year-round.
00:49:15
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yep. True.
00:49:16
Helicopter Ben
i would
00:49:16
RICK JAMES
i think it might be ah Ben's – grandfather, right? His child's grandfather. Godfather.
00:49:21
The SnowJobs Podcast
I was going to say, but his grandfather.
00:49:23
RICK JAMES
Right,
00:49:25
The SnowJobs Podcast
my God.
00:49:27
Helicopter Ben
no Yeah,
00:49:29
RICK JAMES
gave me a pass. Ben's got this. Don't worry.
00:49:34
Helicopter Ben
but but he won't pay child support at all.
00:49:35
The SnowJobs Podcast
ah
00:49:36
Helicopter Ben
Yeah. yeah
00:49:38
RICK JAMES
being child sport le you gave me a pass
00:49:39
Helicopter Ben
but
00:49:40
The SnowJobs Podcast
oh
00:49:41
Helicopter Ben
yeah
00:49:42
RICK JAMES
yeah ben's got this bill
00:49:46
Helicopter Ben
yeah
00:49:46
RICK JAMES
To answer your question, Steve, right I don't think there's anything bad. I do think it captured what we do well. there So much happens at night that people don't see and how it gets done.
00:49:59
RICK JAMES
And I think it's awesome. i'm I'm actually just excited to see other episodes because, like, I want to see – I feel like everyone that pushes no can kind of relate to what we go through.
00:50:10
RICK JAMES
You know, you kind of go through the long hours. You go through – hitting curbs or, you know, like, like how, you know, we all have different kinds of snow, but it all has the same wear and tear on somebody.
00:50:23
RICK JAMES
You know, i I'm excited to see other episodes to see how we can relate to them.
00:50:23
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah.
00:50:26
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah. It's always the same circus, different clowns.
00:50:30
RICK JAMES
Yeah. Yeah.
00:50:31
The SnowJobs Podcast
That's it.
00:50:31
Helicopter Ben
i'll add I'll add to that is that I completely agree with Snow Boss.
00:50:32
The SnowJobs Podcast
Go ahead.
00:50:36
Helicopter Ben
I mean, it's everybody can agree that snow is not for the week. I mean, that was a three-day storm. I live 60 miles away from Fargo. I drive in, I crash at Jackie's place, away from your wife and your kids for three days.
00:50:52
Helicopter Ben
I mean, everybody can relate to that because it's it's not for the weak, you know, and and nobody comes up and says, thank you.
00:50:58
The SnowJobs Podcast
Mm-hmm.
00:51:02
Helicopter Ben
You know, I think I've been at Glacier six times and I went to a restaurant once and they said, thank
00:51:06
RICK JAMES
this year's
00:51:09
Helicopter Ben
yeah They said, you drive the snow snow pusher? I said, yep. I'll give you 10% off your meal. And that was at a Culver's. In six years, that happened.
00:51:20
Helicopter Ben
ah But otherwise, the you don't ever get thanked. Jeremy says thanks, of course. But you know it's it's what a great opportunity that we had here.
00:51:31
Helicopter Ben
And I wouldn't change it for anything. And and yes, I would do it again a heartbeat. Yeah.
00:51:37
The SnowJobs Podcast
Awesome. Yeah. No, I agree with everything you just said. I think, I think you nailed it. That was said perfectly.
00:51:44
RICK JAMES
Anybody else?
00:51:44
The SnowJobs Podcast
It's really cool.
00:51:45
RICK JAMES
go It was a good time. did I to pay you back on Ben.
00:51:49
The SnowJobs Podcast
You know, Oh,
00:51:49
Helicopter Ben
yeah
00:51:52
RICK JAMES
What do you say? I suppose your videos don't have a lot of di
00:51:54
The SnowJobs Podcast
ah well
00:51:58
RICK JAMES
of dialogue.
00:52:02
The SnowJobs Podcast
ah
00:52:02
RICK JAMES
I mean, i actually, to answer your question, the only probably downside is they didn't they didn't get to capture the conversation that does happen.
00:52:02
Helicopter Ben
Maybe
00:52:10
RICK JAMES
You know, you got the people that were mic'd up, but There's so much conversation that happened and just snarky comments and stuff like that, that, that kind of makes it, you know, I always, always prefer like pushing kind of like a ah drug or like an addiction.
00:52:16
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah.
00:52:26
RICK JAMES
Like it's stupid hours. Like it's terrible time to drive in into Fargo. Like no normal person. Yeah. why would say like do
00:52:33
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah. and
00:52:34
RICK JAMES
Anyone that has like a full brain would not want to do this.
00:52:34
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah.
00:52:37
RICK JAMES
Well, once you do it,
00:52:37
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah, dude. It's like something your parents warned you about as a kid. Like, don't do this.
00:52:41
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
00:52:41
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah.
00:52:43
RICK JAMES
Today, Walt, my son, he was like, ah when I grow up, I want to like run a mini loader. And i like I wanted to look at him like, do not. Do not into this business.
00:52:52
Helicopter Ben
Thank you.
00:52:54
RICK JAMES
This is not what you want. But yeah, I mean, it's it's fun.
00:52:58
The SnowJobs Podcast
o
00:53:00
RICK JAMES
like And especially that storm. Big storms are fun. They wear on you. But something about that big a storm is awesome. You know, dustings, it wears on a person, but you push through them to get to the big storms, and that's kind of what you live for is you push to the big storms so you can do the hauling and everything, you know.
00:53:17
The SnowJobs Podcast
Absolutely.
00:53:21
RICK JAMES
It's all
00:53:21
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yep.
00:53:23
Helicopter Ben
Well, and and the thing about it is that, you know, that was a three-day deal for us, but it's not uncommon for us to get another one right after that, you know?
00:53:23
The SnowJobs Podcast
You guys did great.
00:53:34
Helicopter Ben
I mean, we've worked that three years ago, you know? mean, that was 500 plus hours in a payload that winter, you know?
00:53:41
The SnowJobs Podcast
was ridiculous. Yeah, that was ridiculous.
00:53:43
Helicopter Ben
ah And, you know, no, Jackie was,
00:53:45
RICK JAMES
and We were working every 48 hours or something. yeah it was ah i mean it was It was a good – that was a great year.
00:53:48
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yep, you were.
00:53:52
RICK JAMES
i mean, and the guys are great. I mean, that year my crew was – they're always phenomenal. But they that year I asked a lot of them, and they pretty much always answered a bell.
00:54:02
RICK JAMES
think the only people who pissed off were you guys' wives or girlfriends at me. But, I mean, that's whatever. i can take that. Yeah.
00:54:11
Helicopter Ben
but But, you know, I think Jackie still kind of holds a grudge for me from that year because I did beat him in hours that year in the payloader. he?
00:54:18
RICK JAMES
Oh, was going to tell you, Jackie, Jackie got the hour.
00:54:18
The SnowJobs Podcast
I remember that.
00:54:20
RICK JAMES
the hour leader this year.
00:54:21
Helicopter Ben
Did he?
00:54:22
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah.
00:54:22
Helicopter Ben

He had her by like 20 hours.
00:54:24
The SnowJobs Podcast
ah
00:54:24
Helicopter Ben
That a boy.
00:54:25
RICK JAMES

RICK JAMES
I told Jeremy I want to do i want to do the reveal at the Brickhouse.
00:54:54
The SnowJobs Podcast

00:55:20
The SnowJobs Podcast
I would absolutely love to.
00:55:20
Helicopter Ben

00:55:21
The SnowJobs Podcast
It's you know it's it's it's really on me because i my schedule is so wide open. I have nothing but time to do it.
00:55:26
RICK JAMES
yeah
00:55:28
Helicopter Ben
Yeah.
00:55:28
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah, it's really – I'm dropping the ball on that. I apologize.
00:55:34
The SnowJobs Podcast

00:55:41
The SnowJobs Podcast

00:55:44
RICK JAMES
Like the guy said, it was –
00:55:45
Helicopter Ben
Thank you.
00:55:45
The SnowJobs Podcast
ah Yeah, I got to get out there.
00:55:47
RICK JAMES
it was ah it was great time like like the guy said it was It was fun. Honestly, the best nights they talk about all the time is the hauling. Hauling nights is probably the best time these guys have. I mean, we all have a good time, but everybody looks forward to the night we get to haul because it's more relaxed.
00:56:04
RICK JAMES
There's a lot, you know, we're not under the gun usually. We're just, we're getting, mean, we're getting a lot of shit done, but we're, we're doing it. However we, you know, we do it. We just, we're just good at what we do. um I'll toot that horn all day long. These guys are phenomenal what they do. And I've always said, I'll put them up against anybody.
00:56:21
RICK JAMES
So.
00:56:21
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yep. You do say that.
00:56:22
RICK JAMES
I don't know. I think hauling nights is like, you know, like pushing snow, you know, the wind's going to blow. You got to go over the lot again, like hauling, you haul the pile. It's just that like accomplished our feeling, you know, done you're done.
00:56:34
The SnowJobs Podcast

RICK JAMES
The whole meaning of life like revealed itself. like it just I loved it every second of it. but like so like we we do We do shit that no one else ever ever will or ever does. you know like who Who has 60% of their crew on the same phone call?
00:57:32
RICK JAMES
and Who does that?
00:57:32
The SnowJobs Podcast
Not a many, not many.
00:57:32
RICK JAMES

00:57:39
The SnowJobs Podcast
You guys have fun. ah well you lo Like you said, though, you're on your third you're on your third day in a row doing it.
00:57:40
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
00:57:46
The SnowJobs Podcast
If you are not having any fun and you can't have a couple moments of levity out all the time working, then youre you're going to be useless. It's not going to be any fun. You're not going to be productive. So, I mean, I think that's great that you guys do that stuff.
00:57:56
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
00:57:59
The SnowJobs Podcast
I would have liked to have seen. I can't believe the most the biggest team push we got touching tips was three wide.
00:58:06
RICK JAMES
Yeah. Yeah.
00:58:07
The SnowJobs Podcast
I was like, come on, where's the where's the five and six here?
00:58:08
Helicopter Ben
Yeah.
00:58:10
The SnowJobs Podcast
let's Let's see something difficult. Anybody could do three wide.
00:58:14
RICK JAMES
We could have. No, obviously they can't. I've seen a lot of videos of people trying to do three wide. It's not.
00:58:18
The SnowJobs Podcast
Matt Young sent us that video.
00:58:18
RICK JAMES
I mean, like, you have to touch this. Yeah, you actually have to be touching. Yeah. But, I mean, if the cleanup night would have been more snow or some more shit than he would have done more, but it just wasn't there.
00:58:31
The SnowJobs Podcast
Listen, that is actually, i don't think people realize how tough that actually is to do.
00:58:31
RICK JAMES
mean,
00:58:36
The SnowJobs Podcast
Like, there's a lot of coordination that goes into touching tips and moving at the, city pacing each other and stuff. Like we tried it. It didn't make it on video. We'll put it that way.
00:58:46
Helicopter Ben
In get mean
00:58:49
The SnowJobs Podcast
So, I mean, it's harder than you think.
00:58:49
RICK JAMES
it'
00:58:50
The SnowJobs Podcast
It really is.
00:58:51
RICK JAMES
yeah
00:58:51
The SnowJobs Podcast
Mm-hmm.
00:58:52
RICK JAMES
and and Speaking of harder than you think, you know, Jeremy puts on like a couple of reels of like us loan trucks with the blower.
00:58:52
Helicopter Ben
two
00:58:59
RICK JAMES
And the first thing that people say is like, well, why don't you get some fucking snow in the truck?
00:58:59
The SnowJobs Podcast
Mm-hmm.
00:59:04
RICK JAMES
I want those guys to come out and run that blower one night and tell me how fucking easy it is to get snow on that truck.
00:59:07
The SnowJobs Podcast
harder than Harder than it looks.
00:59:10
RICK JAMES
Easy, Jackie. Easy. Yeah, I started to come back to the middle of it.
00:59:11
Helicopter Ben
yeah well
00:59:14
The SnowJobs Podcast
yeah
00:59:14
RICK JAMES
It's okay. might have to restart.
00:59:15
The SnowJobs Podcast
And i was going to I was going to say that too, Jackie.
00:59:15
Helicopter Ben
and
00:59:18
The SnowJobs Podcast
like How many hours do you have on that LaRue? Not many, right?
00:59:21
RICK JAMES
Not many. No. No.
00:59:22
The SnowJobs Podcast
So, I mean, you did great.
00:59:23
Helicopter Ben
what in And you don't have very many...
00:59:24
The SnowJobs Podcast
I thought you did really good with it.
00:59:26
RICK JAMES
I also like the guys that always say, well, why don't you a size? I'm like, they're not our trucks. These are all subcontractor trucks. They're not going to put sides on just for the winter. We're going to – so just shut up and watch the show.
00:59:36
The SnowJobs Podcast
No. No, they're hauling beats with them next Wednesday.
00:59:41
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
00:59:41
The SnowJobs Podcast
i mean, they're not the enough putting then i'm putting sides on.
00:59:42
Helicopter Ben
yeah
00:59:44
RICK JAMES
Yeah. I'm like – I mean – One time.
00:59:45
The SnowJobs Podcast
This ain't Quebec.
00:59:46
Helicopter Ben
what
00:59:47
RICK JAMES
One time. i mean
00:59:49
Helicopter Ben
jackie Jackie said it in the in the in the documentary is that, you know, he said, I'm a little rusty because we haven't done this in a while because we didn't use the blower once last year.
00:59:57
RICK JAMES
done
01:00:00
RICK JAMES
one
01:00:00
Helicopter Ben
And so, you know,
01:00:02
RICK JAMES
I think we did a once just to say we did. Yeah, once so we did.
01:00:04
Helicopter Ben
Just once.
01:00:04
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
01:00:05
Helicopter Ben
Okay.
01:00:05
RICK JAMES
I think you're a 13-inch.
01:00:05
Helicopter Ben
so that was probably time two of Jackie using that. And he's got a joystick in there. We used to, you know, used to use the snow blast where you have to press the one button out of the 30 that are on the remote, you know?
01:00:17
Helicopter Ben
I mean, i the joystick makes it easier, but it's still not easy at all.
01:00:18
RICK JAMES
Yeah. Yeah.
01:00:23
RICK JAMES
If you're good like me, you can do all that.
01:00:25
Helicopter Ben
Yeah.
01:00:25
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
01:00:25
Helicopter Ben
Yeah. Yeah.
01:00:27
The SnowJobs Podcast

01:01:03

01:03:42
RICK JAMES
I don't know. I guess the only thing is I wish we had more time or more more space in there. I know we've talked about this like eight times, but like really like get part of the phone call on there, like you know the chatter between us all.
01:03:54
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah.
01:03:56
RICK JAMES

01:04:02
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah.
01:04:02
RICK JAMES
Yeah,
01:04:02
The SnowJobs Podcast
There'd be a lot of beeping if that made it to network TV.
01:04:04
Helicopter Ben
Well, it wasn't... Well...
01:04:06
The SnowJobs Podcast
Like you'd only pick up every fifth word.
01:04:06
RICK JAMES
yeah well, that makes it fun.
01:04:06
Helicopter Ben
well
01:04:09
The SnowJobs Podcast
Everything else would be a beep.
01:04:10
Helicopter Ben
well
01:04:11
RICK JAMES
that's how they But everybody, we laughing, though, because they know what's going on between the beats.
01:04:14
The SnowJobs Podcast
Absolutely. Absolutely.
01:04:16
Helicopter Ben
And not even just the beeping out too, like the communication that the phone call brings us of, you know, Jackie and Snow Boss and Tom is usually up with them.
01:04:17
RICK JAMES
Ugh.
01:04:23
The SnowJobs Podcast
Mm-hmm.
01:04:27
Helicopter Ben
And Jared is always up on the 13th Avenue corridor and hearing them talk and talk to their minis and, you know, shuffling this guy, you go to Texas Roadhouse, uh,
01:04:38
Helicopter Ben
Jarrett goes to Lowe's and, you know, and then, hey, I need some help here. The employees are coming, you know, and and and so it's it's really an orchestrated
Orchestrated Chaos and Crew Contributions
01:04:47
Helicopter Ben
chaos. A lot of nights that we're just trying to get stuff open before everybody shows up.
01:04:55
RICK JAMES
look That's what I was going to say.
01:04:56
The SnowJobs Podcast
That's yeah, that's pretty much every snow company.
01:04:58
RICK JAMES
I mean, that's what I was going to say. When they're talking, when all the i mean, we can have the these guys be goofing off. I mean, everybody be laughing or whatever, blah, blah, blah. But then all of a sudden something serious comes on, everybody shuts up, and we all know what's going on, or we picture where they're at cause we all know where they're at and what's going on, you know, what they're saying.
01:05:17
RICK JAMES
So that's what's so great about this call.
01:05:17
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yep.
01:05:19
RICK JAMES
You can just, you know, it's, no matter what's going on can just say hey this this this everybody just stops or whatever and it everybody knows what's going on you know if somebody needs stop or cars coming or whatever you know sometimes i've had to get in there and just get after something or whatever it happens i mean but everybody listens and we go back to business it's it's just we have a great communication so i'd like to also say mean there's a lot of i mean
01:05:41
The SnowJobs Podcast
No, you can.
01:05:46
RICK JAMES
these guys are great. Our main crew obviously are, you know, they do a lot of shit, but there's a lot of guys here that didn't get on camera that do just the phenomenal job that these guys do.
01:05:53
The SnowJobs Podcast
A lot of guys. Yep.
01:05:55
RICK JAMES
i mean, there's the guys in North Fargo, the guys downtown, South, you all, i mean, our whole entire crew, they're all just like these guys. They just happen to have the cameras and these guys and stuff like that.
01:06:05
RICK JAMES
But our entire crew, sidewalk guys, everybody, they, they all, they all get the shit done. i mean, it's, it's, they, they all do a great job and everybody didn't get the airtime they probably deserve, but hopefully you next time.
01:06:16
RICK JAMES
So.
01:06:16
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah. Well, it's, it's pretty easy to go that I think you can keep going to that. Well, you won't, you want to hit Glacier more than once. I think you can definitely do that. That's pretty easy, but yeah, there it's a huge team out there. And thank you to the whole company.
01:06:32

The SnowJobs Podcast

Like i always take – you know, like my thing, I said, I don't want to hear anything you salt guys. I don't want I want everything perfect so I don't have to hear anything from these guys.
01:07:37
The SnowJobs Podcast
ye
01:07:37
RICK JAMES
And like Don said, we probably don't like that, do whatever. But we all just – it's part of the game we play.

The SnowJobs Podcast
Sure.
01:07:45
RICK JAMES
you know, I mean, it is what it is. Yeah.
01:07:48
Helicopter Ben
Well, and and most of the times if they have something to that they saw, it was a pile of snow over in the corner, you know, but it doesn't matter.
01:07:59
Helicopter Ben
You know, it's a small pile of snow to us and anybody else, but the company is going to complain about it, you know, because someone could slip and fall there.
01:08:05
The SnowJobs Podcast
hu
01:08:06
Helicopter Ben
And so, yeah, they got to go around and make sure everything's good because they cover every square inch of the lot after we leave, you know.

01:08:15
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yep.

RICK JAMES
It's pretty minor.
01:08:38
Helicopter Ben
Minimal. Minimal.
01:08:38
RICK JAMES
it's Well, it's either minor or they don't know what was there before.
01:08:39
Helicopter Ben

01:08:42
RICK JAMES
We couldn't put it where we needed to. or know if there's There's always different circumstances.
01:08:44
The SnowJobs Podcast
or Mm-hmm.
01:08:47
RICK JAMES
It is what it is. It's snow removal. No snow is the same anytime, no matter where you are. We don't start, hey, we're going to start. Everything's a floating chart. It's just we're going to start this time. Nope, we're going to start this time.
01:08:58
RICK JAMES
You know, everything, the doctor's not always right. Sometimes he's right. Sometimes he isn't. And no storm's the same.
01:09:04
The SnowJobs Podcast
here
01:09:05
RICK JAMES
Every storm is different. That's what kind of makes this job fun. Fun but yet irritating. You know, it it is what it is. Like you say, it's in it's in our blood. We're crazy to do it. We are an emergency service.
01:09:17
RICK JAMES
I mean, the stuff we do is in the worst situation.
01:09:18
The SnowJobs Podcast
absolutely
01:09:21
RICK JAMES
Worst conditions usually. No one's out there, but we're out there. so I hope the guy that, the DOT guy that pulled me over the other day yeah in the loader, I hope he's listening to this.
01:09:31
Helicopter Ben

01:10:57
RICK JAMES
i bought a day permit, but the permit expired at midnight, and we were out past midnight cause because the doctor doctor said it was a Tuesday Wednesday, and I got –

01:11:49
The SnowJobs Podcast
A hundred bucks in Fargo goes a long way though. yeah mean
01:11:55
RICK JAMES
Two sacks of feed.
01:11:57
The SnowJobs Podcast

01:12:06
The SnowJobs Podcast
i do not know what a sack of feed goes for in New York. I can honestly tell you that
01:12:09
RICK JAMES
We're on the phone call. i
01:12:13
Helicopter Ben
yeah The funny thing too is that Jackie and Jeremy are down there with the cop and we got three loaders that are on the phone call.
01:12:14
The SnowJobs Podcast
you guys are too much. ahead.
01:12:20
RICK JAMES
on the phone call
01:12:22
Helicopter Ben
Yeah. there We got three loaders.
01:12:23
RICK JAMES
important
01:12:24
Helicopter Ben
We got Jackie's loader. That's heavy. Chase's loader. Chaz's loader. That's heavy. And then my loader is heavy. And Jeremy goes to Jackie and goes, you should probably tell Ben to stay in West Fargo.
01:12:35
Helicopter Ben
And I, and and he goes, well, that's a problem because he's about two blocks from here.
01:12:40
RICK JAMES
We'll get the hell out of here.
01:12:40
Helicopter Ben
Yeah. wow yeah you wait You know, so, uh,
01:12:44
The SnowJobs Podcast
ah oh it's funny you guys are too much man uh what else anything else
01:12:53
RICK JAMES
It was a great experience. And like I said, I want we obviously all want to do it again. Cause it was fun. I love, you know, me, I love to show these guys off. I love to see show what they do. So it's like this industry, that's a whole part of that's why we're doing this whole show is to bring light to the industry and what we do and what we can do.
01:13:12
RICK JAMES
So.
01:13:13
The SnowJobs Podcast
100%, 100%. Mm-hmm.
01:13:14
RICK JAMES
I, I know we've, I know we've touched on this a lot, but like, i just want to reiterate like how real it was, you know, like, I will like nothing was manufactured. Like, you know, a good night. There is no breakdowns.
01:13:30
RICK JAMES
You know, I'm assuming for you, no breakdowns. That's a good night for the business. Um, and for you too, Steve, but like. Even a hobby pusher. Yeah. I mean, just anyone.
01:13:40
The SnowJobs Podcast
Even hobby pushers.
01:13:41
RICK JAMES
ah or hobby points you Like, youtube team it help great night rough for you like
01:13:42
The SnowJobs Podcast
No breakdowns for hobby pushers is a good thing.
01:13:47
RICK JAMES
I just want to know, like, I just like how this can, like, maybe you relate to other pushers out there and actually, on the other side, like, inform people that don't know what we do, what we do, you know, just pushers in general.
01:14:00
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah.
01:14:01
RICK JAMES
Like, inform them that what goes into cleaning their lot so they can show up to work and walk right in without any issues, you know.
01:14:09
The SnowJobs Podcast
100% absolutely
01:14:09
RICK JAMES
ah um I like that. I really like that. We're not just crazy people out there loving snow. I mean, this is for a reason.
01:14:19
Helicopter Ben
Thank you.
01:14:19
RICK JAMES
um That was my biggest. i think the only thing I'd change is you know, have a little more commentary. You know, it's you pull into a lot. We know what to do. We don't talk about it. But.
01:14:30
RICK JAMES
I think we, you know, if we film next year, we we'd have a little primal commentary on what we're doing for people that don't know what we're doing. You know, focus on the front drives, you know, open employee parking, get the truck parking open, stuff like that, you know.
01:14:47
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yep. I think they should let you narrate it if they do another one.
01:14:50
RICK JAMES
Who didn't narrate it?
01:14:51
The SnowJobs Podcast
You can be the narrator.
01:14:52
RICK JAMES
a i AI? ai
01:14:54
The SnowJobs Podcast
A ah guy named AI. Yeah.
01:14:56
RICK JAMES
I thought it was Matty or something.
01:14:57
Helicopter Ben
i was I was really disappointed.
01:14:59
RICK JAMES
Matty got a deep voice. Yeah, anybody got a deep
01:15:02
The SnowJobs Podcast

01:15:03
Helicopter Ben
I was fully expecting Morgan Freeman to come on and start more. Yeah.

01:17:19
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah.
01:17:20

01:18:26
RICK JAMES
And like I said, the one only, wouldn't even say it's bad but maybe a bad thing is that we couldn't highlight everybody, what they do here, you know, because they all deserve the credit for what they do and all this shit.
01:18:39
RICK JAMES
they come, they drive into to get here to do all the work they do. So, I mean, Glacier very fortunate that we have the crew we have. These guys are phenomenal, top of the line, best guys, great friends.

The SnowJobs Podcast
They're just always in on anything that's going to move the ball forward and promote this industry and get it moving in the right direction. um You know, can't say enough about the, uh, the storm team, uh, pretty much anything they're down for anything. If it's going to make everything, you know, make things better.
01:19:30

The SnowJobs Podcast
ah I think that's going to be a good one for the doctor. That's going to good one for the doctor.
01:19:56
RICK JAMES
For the doctor, probably not so much for the doctor. He even admitted to the on LinkedIn that wasn't the greatest forecast, but I mean, obviously it is the weather and they always have a built-in excuse, right?

01:20:18
The SnowJobs Podcast
ah Yeah, no, you don't want to ever say it's a lock because, you know, it's weather.
01:20:18
