TimTaylor751647545500 Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 +1 Can't wait for the season. Maybe the long break has given him the chance to focus on getting his health issues under control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draco-REX Posted April 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 I think I'll get myself a big order of King Crab sushi to munch on when I watch the season premier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRocket1647545505 Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 Can't wait. Infact, I can't wait for Alaska week, starting tomorrow. Also, I'm looking forward to season 2 of The Alaska Experiment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I'm looking forward to season 2 of The Alaska Experiment. ALso starting Monday at 10pm is "Doin' Da Vinci." A bunch of guys actually assemble and test Da Vinci's inventions. That looks really interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirks5oh Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 forgot how much i love that show--i caught several hours of the marathon last night. phil was 'hamming' it up a bit about the blood clot/PE. yeah, its very serious, but there are ways to treat it. he told his kids that he would bleed to death if he stubbed his toe on the boat, etc, etc--not exactly true, but whatever--i'm not questioning how bad-ass those guys are.

You noticed that too, eh? "There's nothing I can do about this." I bet cutting out the cigarettes, RedBull, Mtn. Dew, and your horrible diet would be a good start. Not to mention, I'm sure he'll be put on warfarin the rest of his life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty2Hotty Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 Can't wait, I've been glued to the old re-runs this past week. Deffinately one of the best shows on TV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wnaplay1647545503 Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 Those guys all seem soft, not as hard a job as they portray it for the cameras. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex L. Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 Those guys all seem soft, not as hard a job as they portray it for the cameras. Go do it then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wnaplay1647545503 Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 Go do it then. I did it for a month then looked at them and said is this the best you've got then left. If that job was really that hard then 60 year old dudes who are clearly outta shape gcouldnt do it. I challenge any of them to come work with me for a week.

Draco-REX Posted April 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 The only out of shape guys I see are the ones behind the wheel. But then what can you expect when they sit all the time sucking down red bull, coffee, and cigarettes. The guys on deck, even the old ones, don't look like softies. Frankly, I know I couldn't handle working like they do. Hell, they made a Rodeo rider look like Peter Griffin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell, they made a Rodeo rider look like Peter Griffin. +1 amazingly dangerous, freezing cold, soaking wet, numb, completely exhausted--and then you realize you have to be up another 18 hours. greenhorns get shit on like its nobodies business--you're treated like a complete outsider--almost like an enemy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aesthetic_Influx Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 Granted the show is cut in a way that they look hard-ass, but I can't even begin to think that it is a job that just anyone could do. Seems like it takes a pretty damn strong person to take that kind of physical and mental abuse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draco-REX Posted April 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 Although, to kind of play Devil's advocate... Remember the greenhorn on the Northwestern two years ago? He showed up, took the shit, worked his ass off, and did all that he could to fit in and impress the crew. He even took a hit from Matt. At the end of the season, Sig gave the kid the jacket off his own back. That's badass. Funny thing is, before signing on the Northwestern, the kid was just a skater punk in CA. So it's possible that attitude can make up for a lack of physical strength. But you have to have an abundance of at least one or the other.

kirks5oh Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 before this became a popular show (probably 8-10 years ago), reader's digest did a special article on crab fishermen. it was in the 'book section' of reader's digest--probably 20 pages long. the author rode along with the crew to document how dangerous of a job it was. a couple days into the trip, one of the greenhorns quit--refused to work. he stayed in his bunk, and only came out once a day for food. the reader's digest author took his place, worked his ass off, and took the greenhorn's share at the end of the trip. pretty interesting article which confirms what the tv show portrays---comlete insanity, with big payoff at the end-- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll agree that kid still busts his balls, but I can see how he gets annoying quick. He seems like he's got his nose up Edgar's ass 24/7 and will jump to do the BS work. Can't knock the kid for being a hard worker though, bet he'll be running the deck in a few years. Last I saw, I think he's a full share deck hand now.
