00:01My name's Mike Rowe.
00:04This is my job.
00:07I explore the country looking for people who aren't afraid to get dirty.
00:11So basically, it's me and you in a toilet against 300,000 poo-eating fish.
00:15That's right.
00:16Hard-working men and women who earn an honest living.
00:18The idea now is to make sure we found the clog.
00:21Doing the kinds of jobs that make civilized life possible for the rest of us.
00:25I guess the mold and whatever's trying to grow in it.
00:27Now, get ready.
00:30To get dirty.
00:34Coming up on Dirty Jobs, a mud-filled, sunken barge in St. Louis.
00:39Nice to see you.
00:40Has to be demolished for scrap.
00:42Where do we start?
00:43But first, the cable guy has to hook it up.
00:45Upper shackle.
00:46Yeah.
00:47This guy?
00:48No, no, no.
00:49And this goes right into the plant?
00:50It's actually the opposite way, Mike.
00:51Well, that one and the side of the other one, Mike.
00:53You got this?
00:54No, no, no.
00:55And later, it's off to the steel mill where a chopped up barge goes into a furnace
00:59and comes out barge soup.
01:00That's a lot of molten hot stuff.
01:02Molten hot stuff that almost burns my face off.
01:05Like a marshmallow on a friggin' campfire.
01:08It's like the ow, ow, ow!
01:09It's all okay.
01:11Oh god.
01:12Oh, god.
01:13Oh!
01:14Oh!
01:15Oh!
01:16Oh!
01:17Oh!
01:18Oh!
01:19Oh!
01:20Oh!
01:21Oh!
01:23Oh!
01:24Oh!
01:25Oh!
01:26Oh!
01:27Oh!
01:28Oh!
01:29arch which you can't see right now because it's kind of a lousy day hopefully the captain of that
01:33barge can see that blue mooring cell poking up through the surface because if you're taking a
01:40barge up the mississippi and you don't see the mooring cell you're liable to run into it and if
01:44you run into it your barge is going to look like this it sank to the bottom we've dragged it out
01:49put it here on the bank and today with a lot of torches and a lot of manly men we're going to cut
01:55the butt out of it sell it for scrap today i'm in st louis missouri at cash's scrap metal and iron
02:03one of the midwest's leading metal recyclers here at cash's they collect and process thousands of tons
02:09of scrap metal every month which is sold to steel and metal mills foundries and smelters steel is
02:15north america's number one recycled material recycling steel alone saves enough energy to power about 18
02:22million homes a year scrap metal comes from all kinds of things today it's coming from a barge
02:28this is jim g jim g's worked on the river now for what like 40 years about 38 what exactly do you do
02:34jim well at this facility i oversee the loading and unloading of the barges of different products
02:40and i oversee the pulling up of the barges like we're going to mess with today cutting up for scrap you
02:45say mess with you're referring to the important work at hand well it's it's uh kind of river lingo you
02:50know we don't necessarily talk as uh other people do you know i do to mess with is to get down and
02:56get dirty get muddy get smelly and just uh take care of whatever has to be done to get the job done
03:01some of my favorite adjectives all grouped up together does the barge have a name like like most
03:05boats they have numbers they don't have names the vessel we're going to cut the back end off of today
03:10is a cc 7831 what happened to cc 7831 exactly as it was going into a loading facility down in a small
03:17town in southern illinois called hecker it became uh confused is a good word i guess and hit a cell
03:25yeah someone earlier it's a it's a blue thing out there very similar to that very similar it's a
03:30mooring yes sir they're they're put in with uh individual pilings that are driven into the river
03:35bed and then they're filled with either dirt or concrete so this stays there stabilizing the load
03:40while they're unloading it or loading a vessel okay so obviously this is a huge job our goal today is just
03:45to cut a piece off of it the the back yes sir the big challenge today is is what to safely cut
03:52approximately a six foot 35 ton piece loose from the existing vessel drop it down and drag it up on
03:59the hill so that we can put a sheer grain on it to cut it into the prepared material i love it can i take
04:04a look at the inside of this thing come on the barge was loaded with grain when it sank so the product in
04:13here is a is a mixture of it being sunk of mud and grain is why you have a little bit of smell as you
04:20step between the frames it's about 19 inches of uh grain you wouldn't want to take it home probably
04:27don't step there exactly up there got it you don't have to tell me twice barsky on the other hand
04:34so that's mud that's slime grain a little bit of grain maybe some wheat barley maybe just
04:47yeah that's good one that's a good one dave so this is the inside of the barge that's where the
04:52actual accident happened down yes sir that was the point of impact let's take a look at that
04:55you really have to admire the simplicity of a barge a layman would think it would sink right but you
05:03know the way it's constructed with the voids it floats on its own unless of course it runs into
05:09something really really uh sturdy like see this end's probably pushed in approximately probably
05:1412 to 15 foot well i tell you what if the captain was sleeping this woke him up very quickly very
05:20quickly on the way back out i took note of barsky's footprint adjust your step then i took note of
05:26barsky again it's going to be a grand a grand entrance here he comes there he goes oh oh he's in again
05:35in again he goes two people have fallen in the sludge so far don't lose your boot we've done this
05:43before you're right you're right it doesn't don't lose your boot yeah that's killer mud man that is
05:47his boot sucking mud oh these guys look like they're ready to work they always are ready to
05:55work who's who this is jose jose we call him little jose little jose that's him and big jose i got it
06:05john john all right you too all right so this is basically the cutting crew yes sir yes sir and the
06:10working crew and whatever we got to do this is it okay do we tie before we cut we tie before we cut for
06:15safety okay and that way you don't have to get on the this side of the uh vessel as you're cutting in
06:21case something would fall unexpectedly on its own where do we start well we'll have to hook this cable
06:26into this which is called an anchor chain and shackles right so that we can hook it up to our
06:31doses we'll have to hook up both sides and then you get to get in there and get at it i am relieved
06:36to see a machine because an anchor chain has got to be heavy anchor chains pretty heavy it's uh
06:42a little bit too much for some of us of course a man of your stature probably can handle it easily
06:47perhaps all right let's get started then that goes in the opening right above the shackle right there
06:57and then we hook that to the crane
06:59yeah hook up right here okay that's good yeah is this safe fish yeah put that in there then grab
07:09that up in here right and then put the bolt through this guy we've got to get that upper shackle out
07:16upper shackle yeah now this guy no no no just pull that one in the side of the other one mike you got this
07:24put this shackle in the hole first this shackle chains and bolts cables and shackles i have no
07:31idea what i'm doing johnny let it down a little bit let it down a little bit johnny and this goes right
07:37in between them yep and then the pin will get put in man that's going to be tight yeah
07:47i'm beginning to learn that i may have certain pin and shackle limitations
07:51something to work on there you go put it in all right mike it's actually the opposite way mike uh
08:03the curb down will go in toward the door of the bolt just like that you got it oh no wait a minute
08:11righty tighty lefty loosey goes the other way going the other way that's lefty no that's riding from us
08:19well i'm going to my left now why is that not sticking on there okay it's a joke it's a joke
08:27thing right you got it got it yeah sebastian inspired me but let me guess same thing on the other side
08:38same thing it just took me 20 minutes to do something that should have taken three
08:42but like i said before you don't have to tell me twice okay it's a bad sign but you look like this
08:51and the work hasn't started
08:57coming up when you play with fire
09:02sometimes the fire wins that's when you need brute strength i'm gonna go ahead and push this over now
09:08proper leverage there you go
09:12then i get all dressed up to take the temperature of molten steel it's pretty hot
09:25so this is a uh a block and tackle and there's just no way in the world this barge
09:30is going to get pulled up and cut up without it right right tell me basically as though i'm a small
09:36stupid child how a block and tackle works well basically it works as a reduction system to reduce
09:42the load level so that you distribute the load easier right and that makes it easier for the pull
09:48every circle gives you that much more more pull now the problem though is it doesn't do you any good
09:54to add shivs and cable and strength unless you have some sort of anchor right you have to have the main
10:00part of the the block and tackle secured to what is called a dead man what it is it's it's some type
10:06of fixture that you have secured right that will withstand the load of what you're going to pull out
10:12we dug out a hole approximately six foot wide eight foot long and about eight foot deep then we put the
10:18i-beams in to actually hold the pin as you'll see down there that's what's supporting the whole weight
10:23this pin back there on the other side of that wood that right there it's about eight foot long so six
10:29foot this way and about eight foot deep that's amazing yeah i don't think the dozer would ever
10:33pull it out it would dead it would stall it out it'll be interesting to see how it all works out
10:40so right now jim and i are just trying to make sure the cables stay in the proper shivs these are
10:44shivs these things that are spinning right now as the bulldozer takes the tension out of the cable
10:51you can see the block and tackle actually start to work when we go inside if something
10:57say something would happen that it would fall back it can't fall back it's against the rest of
11:01the bar got it if it goes anywhere it's going this way and we're inside protected by the walls
11:07it cannot get to us well let's cut the ass out of a barge let's go all right so what's in the tanks
11:13oxygen and propane all right turn on a little bit of each hit it with what's called a striker right it
11:18will give you a flame pull the trigger that's what gives you your force to cut through the steel we're
11:23going to have you start mike up on top what's called the combing uh-huh and then we'll come
11:27on the ladder then just start cutting the side and then we'll be able to go inside and cut some more
11:35tilt your torch to a 45 face a minute to blow the slag out better mike like that there you go
11:44gotcha
11:46it's funny how simple things like a shackle and pin are a challenge to me but i seem to do just
11:51fine with powerful and dangerous tools of destruction go figure that's it not exactly
11:58straight doesn't have to be straight as long as it cuts through it serves the same purpose in this
12:02application mike i kind of like this job pretty easy very little pain
12:14the pain of fire or the humiliation of sludge not sure which is worse see if you fall in you're
12:20basically going in about like that that's even deeper over here between chris's legs yeah
12:26if you'd have told me a week ago that i'd be crawling up the baffle of a barge straddling a mud pit
12:32i'd have probably believed you nice to see you
12:38good smelling i smell everything and he's really intensifies the aroma
12:42you're doing a wonderful job
13:04you only need about six more inches mike story of my life jim
13:08god it just smells like hell you're good mike you you're good yeah yes sir good job god bless america
13:19this is a smoking pit of despair
13:24let me tell you something man i've been in a lot of crappy places but the the tiny area between the uh
13:38double hall of a barge it's uh it's up there that's horrible man outstanding job you are like a
13:46true torch man extraordinaire like one not one i fell in the mud i got stuck in the mud i got
13:54burned in places where a man shouldn't get burned by small pieces of flame this is out of my mind with
13:59that thing well i worked in first year sebastian and the two joses were in overdrive slicing through the
14:07back end of the barge like it was butter finally the cables are pulled tight and with a little help from
14:12gravity will be in business there's a big x factor and we don't know where the maximum amount of
14:19tension currently is you can hear the barge starting to creak he's cutting through obviously one side
14:26he's going through the other it may hold it may fall because i don't know how much tension is actually
14:31on this from the cable on the other side in other words anything could happen
14:36see it's sliding says not gonna fall you want me to push it we might all have to i'll push that
14:46son of a gun right over now if you want i think i can push this thing over i just if this were back
14:53a little further robert leverage i'm gonna go ahead and push this over now this is very old testament
14:59come on for the record i'm referring to joshua and the battle of jericho where the walls come a
15:10tumbling down joshua didn't have a bulldozer that's it come on come on now there it goes
15:22now the fun starts where we get to get our crane down here and cut it like a pair of scissors
15:29jose is chopping the barge into two foot by five foot pieces then a crane with a huge magnet loads
15:49the scrap onto a barge that actually floats that barge will take the scrap to our next stop a steel
15:55mill that'll melt it all down to a bubbling cauldron of molten metal should be fun coming up i take
16:02part in an ancient steel mill ritual the feeding of the fire gods hot and later be gentle with her
16:10now all right i'll be gentle when the boss lets me pour a giant ladle full of molten steel it's mike
16:16versus the volcano
16:40so after a long and productive day of tearing the butt end out of a giant barge the resulting pieces have
16:45been brought from missouri here to illinois specifically to alton steel incorporated the
16:50giant building behind me right now this is a grown-up steel mill where real men work around the clock
16:57melting things they've uh outfitted me in resplendent forest green and altumnal orange
17:04which i'm thrilled about shift starts at 10 pm which is exactly what time it is presently they didn't
17:11tell me when it ended the steel industry is the biggest recycler in the world every year alton steel
17:18recycles 400 000 tons of old cars refrigerators shredded barges and other scrap metals the scrap is
17:26melted down and reprocessed into high-grade steel to be used in all kinds of industrial and consumer
17:32products so we're inside alton steel it's a little after uh 10 p.m yeah and uh this is mike shane he
17:40is uh he's the boss should i call you mike or shane or mr shane shane i call me mr shane mr yeah
17:47call me mr mike okay i'll call you mr you're shane i'm mike okay why are we here at night okay we're
17:53here at night because the electrical rate in this area is double in the daytime consume as much as about
17:59eight thousand households eight thousand households about eight thousand households in one night yeah
18:05all right out front you know we're literally seeing tons and tons of scrap steel that's
18:10that's all going to be melted down we'll use about a thousand tons of scrap tonight we'll use about 40
18:15railroad cars in a normal day what's attached to this thing okay that's 150 ton crane it's got a 50
18:21ton scrap bucket it's got about 80 tons of scrap in it is that what we're going to be melting that's
18:26where we're going to be melting we're going to put three of those in the furnace superheat it to
18:30about 3000 degrees fahrenheit and then we'll tap it what do you do first we'll put the scrap in first
18:36oh that's this is a big bucket yeah i mean this thing in and of itself looks this way that's about 130 tons
18:47when he's centered over that furnace he's going to drop that in there
18:56it's going to get very noisy
19:26if you've never heard the sound of 56 million watts of electricity arcing through scrap metal
19:41before don't listen too close you may never hear anything else again the electrodes zap the scrap
19:47metal with a mind-blowing ear bending display the terminator should be crawling out of this thing
19:53right about now all right so now typically we wait wait about 30 minutes yeah it'll be
19:59melding enough that we can start working the heat working the door start adjusting the chemistry
20:05i'm not sure i follow you mean you got to decide if the steel is of the right mixture yeah so in about
20:11a half hour things are going to get very signed today yes where's your break room back down there
20:16we'll see you in a half hour about 30 minutes later i met mike shane back at the furnace so is it
20:25basically magma at this point it's getting there it's about 2850 degrees right now and how hot does
20:32it have to be it'll be 3 000 degrees fahrenheit so they tap it see they're unable to get the tests
20:37what you're going to do here in a minute how do you test it again you got to go inside
20:41we gotta reach in you gotta reach in with those pipes reach into a 3 000 degree molten steel spewing
20:47furnace with a pipe sounds great mike suggests that i watch to see how it's done before attempting it
20:55which is great advice at the end of a long dense cardboard tube a sample of molten metal is collected
21:03and sent to the on-site lab for testing
21:11some jobs are dirty others just melt your face off
21:27once the sample is taken and sent off to the lab shane informs me we need to take the temperature of the
21:35the metal with a thermometer pipe molten steel has almost reached the ideal temperature of 3 000
21:44degrees as soon as i get the temperature probe out of the molten metal shane has an urgent job for me
21:50but it's too noisy by the furnace to talk about it come back here and find out what just happened
21:57you need to throw this stuff in the liner in there right in there yep all right turns out the molten
22:02steel sample indicated that iron pyrite coke and a couple of other things needed to be added to
22:08the steel to make sure the chemistry was just right for what the client had ordered the elements are
22:14tossed into the ladle the molten steel is about to be poured into then it'll all be stirred together
22:19hot coming up right there stick it stick it stick it the steel mill's big boss gets tough you're gonna
22:33miss come on that was right on the money i don't like to rest but he also has a soft side he likes a nice rest
22:42and later jumping over red hot steel bars is just a part of the job so is the humiliating agony
22:56before i can catch my breath the ladle is on the move and so am i once the metal is heated to the
23:02optimum 3000 degrees things move fast it's a race to pour and process the molten metal before it cools too
23:10much to be worked with if that happened it'd be what you call a disastrous and financially catastrophic
23:15occurrence and it would probably be my fault for slowing things down still for some crazy reason
23:21shane trusts me enough to let me tilt the furnace that will pour the entire batch of molten steel
23:27into the ladle i want you to pull that i'm going to tell you to pull that handle
23:31then stop stop push on this one yep don't have to do anything just yet all right go ahead and pull
23:39on a little bit be gentle with her now all right i'll be gentle you got you got over a thousand
23:43tons there you're messing with pull it pull it there you go see it going i see it going that's a lot of
23:50molten hop stuff all right let's get to that one okay let's bring it up a little more
23:56back back moving a thousand tons there you got to put some effort in it when that ladle gets almost
24:03full we'll tell them to take it out there and then we'll put the rest which will be slag we'll put
24:07the slag in the pit there's always a pit yeah it's just go ahead pull her up now yeah pull it all the
24:16way to me yep just keep pulling it'll stop all right now we're going to go burn the runner burn the runner
24:21yep now you need to put your silver coat on where'd i put my silver coat crap we got it we got it the
24:27next job is to clean the furnace spout or burn the rudder as they call it here i'm gonna burn the
24:32rudder burn the rudder which i'm told is probably similar to igniting a volcano okay get your oxygen
24:38good just go ahead and grab a hold of it that's oxygen it's not straight oxygen won't that blow us
24:44up no good okay you want to dip her down in the steel right
24:54when you see red smoke you're burning steel is that good yeah the spout has to be carefully clean so
25:02the cooling steel doesn't clog it up and make it impossible to pour the next batch
25:08it looks like it's burning something you got her you're doing her man
25:16we're gonna make some big sparks now when you burn this beard off
25:23gotta call this thing kilauea or krakatoa rudder doesn't really do it justice
25:29was it normal oh yeah get bigger than this this big old boy's coming back in
25:34the ladle full of just poured steel is moved to a ramp that dumps more materials into the batch
25:42so if i understand this right they continue to measure the chemistry of the steel and based on
25:48what they find they add more ingredients like magnesium or whatever that other stuff was i'll
25:54look into it and get back to you with the actual details another test just came back showing that we
26:00need to add even more ingredients to the steel yeah shane's picky we've checked the chemistry we're
26:07about seven points low on carbon so we gotta add seven bags coke is carbon in this case it's carbon
26:13all right when i throw it in there what am i aiming for you're aiming for that eye wherever that's
26:17stern why don't you do the first one i'll watch real close i can do that
26:31you're gonna miss oh crap you're gonna miss didn't quite get it you gotta get inside and throw it all
26:38right close come on that was right on the money close dead on close hey that's what i'm talking about
26:54i got it now how many more two more one more it's important yeah we're gonna take a temperature now
27:05take the temperature all right you're gonna stick it like right in there right there stick it stick it
27:10stick it stick it hold hold on to it i'm checking out now all right pull out okay you got a good one
27:17that time all right we're done for now what do you want to do with this mess if those bags of coke you
27:22threw in there uh did what they're supposed to do the heat should be on grade if the heat's on grade
27:28and we'll send it to the casting machine the casting machine right that's where we'll solidify it
27:34finally the batch is poured into a mold hopefully with all the necessary ingredients
27:43so this we're not the finished product but it's trying to look like something right like a seven
27:48by seven square millen each one of these is going to be how long after we cut them they'll be 30 feet
27:54long do we cut them down here yep they'll be cut up here with an automatic torch so it bends it
27:59it as it comes bends it as it comes lays it back down it has to be solidified in a controlled manner
28:07or will be no good the longer we mess with it the more we're in danger of it falling below
28:12its critical temperature that's a long polite way of telling me that i was slowing you down
28:18in a fairly dramatic way it doesn't mean derail i don't like derail you don't wear a dress i don't
28:25like derail he likes a nice dress i'm gonna follow him you guys look at this for a while because it's
28:34so beautiful the super hot metal flattens out when it's horizontal then it's ready to slice the bars are
28:41cut by an automated 5 000 degree cutting torch the steel is coming towards us right now and the
28:48steel is what like a million degrees or some crazy thing about 1800 degrees and this is where we're
28:53gonna actually wind up cutting it right we're gonna cut it 30 feet long each piece i'm gonna have a shot
29:00of this here i go come on man you can't mess this up i don't think i don't see anybody else wearing this
29:07thing i'm starting to feel silly what's up with the sledgehammers after it goes past we gotta put
29:13the number on the butt end of it i like a horse race marking the steel bars with their individual
29:20track numbers is part of the quality control process and every single one needs to be marked
29:26before they're off this conveyor it's a nerve-wracking race against time over an open fire
29:37close only missed one what i missed that one over there you get it yep only missed one not bad for a
29:55this is what we call a cooling bed we're about uh 1800 degrees right now right time they get to the
30:01end down there there'll be about 600 when the steel billets cool off they're almost ready to leave the
30:06plant unfortunately not me now it's cleanup time coming up now this has to be two three million
30:13degrees did we just walk ourselves right in front of it yeah i go to a steel mill barbecue okay no i'm
30:19not okay and find out that i'm on the menu ow ow no ow the air hurt crap man i felt my face melting
30:28and later out i just keep grabbing hot stuff remind you it's hot drop it down go getting very little
30:35mercy you want some ice water few kind words and a gentle smile is all i require from you mr mark
30:48so basically what we've got now shane is an empty ladle yeah the steel has gone out of the ladle right
30:54so what is the job at this point is it ladle servicing right we're going to service the ladle
31:00first we're going to dump the slag out right then we're going to service the slide gate on the bottom
31:05which controls the flow of steel from the ladle right and then there's a porous plug in there which
31:10i don't know if you remember remember how we were stirring the steel with argon at the ladle met furnace
31:15it does see yes yes i remember that we're going to be servicing that also okay well first thing we're
31:20going to need to do is hook this big hook up to this dump arm this hook right you're going to have to turn it
31:27so that it engages that um round fixture there right
31:33okay don't get hit in the jaw with it no i don't want to get hit i don't want to get hit anywhere by
31:36that all right he's going to bring that back over here so the slag is going to fall straight out
31:41there's a locking pin we got to take down all right now it is hot all right god the son of a
31:48notice i didn't touch that i did notice that i've learned not what not to touch around
31:53all right now he's going to take it down yeah don't touch that it's only 600 degrees 600 degrees
31:58don't touch that good all right now he's going to take this down he's going to dump the slag can we
32:02he's going this way yep all right let's go this way then now he won't dump the slag till we tell him
32:07to right now he's going to dump it he's not going to wait the slag's coming out now because the slag is
32:12hardening as we speak so the idea is to get this ladle slag free ipso fast though the slag tends to get
32:20crusty on top of it sure so it's not so molten the slag is just the stuff that smelled good for
32:26the steel maybe a car got smashed up or the barge or whatever it's just stuff that's in there that
32:31you don't want right all right we need to go down here and take a look at it all right make sure that
32:36the integrity of it's still good make sure the brick's still good and we're going to look at the plug
32:41all right so that's basically the sun pulled down to the earth this is ira
32:45i don't know what are we what are we going to do with this thing right now there's a porous plug
32:49that's what actually stirs the steel yeah right now where there's steel around that little plug
32:54and we got to burn that steel off so we can punch it with us the grant machine over here so this is a
32:59uh lance pipe a what a lance pipe oh so this is the pure o2 right right okay now this has to be what
33:06two three million degrees 24 24 see i don't know anything at all how do we get do we just walk
33:12ourselves right in front of it yeah well i want this down yeah shall we okay almost as though i
33:19know what i'm doing right stick her up in there i'll help you get it out where you want to burn
33:23that's your porous plug right there that round circle you got to burn all the way around it
33:27i might have to get it lit for you sometimes you gotta poke it there you go
33:31you got it
33:40shazam okay no i'm not okay marshmallow in a freaking campfire ow ow i don't take it off
33:50you okay no that hurts too everything hurts ow the air hurts crap man i just melted my face man
34:04what the hell all right i need another helmet okay ow i need another face shield get out of my way
34:09i felt my face melting that's why you go to college so you don't have to come do stuff like this
34:19i stayed in too long obviously yeah yeah when the smoke started rolling it was time to leave
34:23you know what i'm looking for is constant feedback and helpful tips right i think the first tip was when
34:28the hair on your chest started smoking we could turn the fan on the fan
34:43i think you ought to come out there
34:48i think it's time for you to come out there
34:51oh come on out i think the wand is on the verge of melting it's it's dipping i think you've about
34:58used it up did i break the wand as well i have no shortage of material especially with you around
35:03you're smoking your gloves are smoking everything's smoking you're gonna go up like a briquette
35:09i was going to uh evaluate my work i'm just a tingle with optimism
35:18good enough you've done a good job did i yeah i did a good job he's he's lying of course
35:25what do we do now we just set this down for now
35:30that pipe's awful hot ow
35:34you have to make sure sam why do you keep grabbing the hot step why are you not recognized about that
35:39being inside the 2 000 degree ladle that could possibly make it hot no i i went and connected the
35:46dots i just figured with the fancy space age gloves you gave me i'd be able to touch something from time
35:50the time coming up oh we got a little woozy here oh the humiliation continues you need some help
35:58there mike no sometimes today that's embarrassing oh man we're gonna be here all night so i take the job
36:06and shove it and we're back iris brought me to the uh back of the ladle again and you are mark mark

36:44through burning out over there they're gonna back their ladle up gonna take the pins out can you do
36:48that probably not but you know i'm gonna try again so the crane operator we're dead without the crane
36:55operator right your relationship with the crane operator is key that's right have you always had a
36:58good relationship with the crane operator what happened in the past with crane operators oh

39:40them plugs set it down in there what is it uh exactly well this is a force plug what we send our argon to
39:49the gas yeah argon gas okay that's what stirs the steel yeah stirs the steel the argon gas yeah comes
39:56through this right they control the gas remotely yeah the gas causes it to rotate right thereby
40:03stirring the contents all right now you're gonna stick your hand in these gloves just one of them
40:08all right what you're gonna do is smear it on first just put a little coat on it first
40:13the plug has to be coated with a ceiling for an airtight fit
