Interesting show, but I get disgusted with some of the actual oilfield scenes that are total bull sh!t.
Like watching Yellowstone. I only ever worked on a $hit ranch in college in the summers for four years - but just about every other scene they shot was so over-the-top or otherwise retarded it makes it very hard to watch.

Ha ha, told my wife the same thing, I looked at her and said that he's using the pipe wrench the wrong way.

Yes for sure, being I worked in oil field 45 years ago, it is a show and take it for a grain of salt. the part where those guys where working on value and did not turn off main value safety first and they used hammer to try open valve and spark torched them. I have seen plenty in my day. Billy is funny

Hollywood is in the business of making money. Real depictions of just about anything are too boring to make much money.

Just about any and every movie with a science based story are completely made-up and fail to impress those who work in that field. Armageddon, Volcano and Dante's Peak are just a few that really to mind where the writers/directors/actors had no background knowledge of geology. The movie The Rock also comes to mind where the nerve agent melted people.

Yeah, Hollywood isn't in the business of making things realistic.

LOL, the antidote for nerve agent (Atropine and 2-Pam Chloride) are auto (spring loaded) self-injectors that one is supposed to use in their thigh. So, yeah...probably not a good thing to put a hole in your heart. Besides, the needles in those kits probably aren't long enough (maybe just over an inch long) to reach the heart on most people, but it sure looked painful when a fella I knew triggered one into his thumb. The needles are kind of soft as well and it hooked nicely when it hit his thumbnail before it filled his thumb with the stuff.

Note, when I was in the Corps, we would occasionally trigger one off to later use it as a training aid. Most of us were smart enough to not try and trigger one with our thumb. My buddy got a trip to the hospital for that one. I can only imagine the look on the medical staff's face when he told them how he filled his thumb with nerve agent antidote.

Haha ya that came out right before i went to basic and the DS made sure liked to make fun of that especially when they asked and one idiot private thought the movie was real shit.

Being a medic for Marines i cant imagine the shit they saw and how many crayons they had to hand out. ;)

Always pull a pipe wrench, never push it.

If those fellas had years of experience in the patch, none of that would have happened. They should've had the new fella fucking that all up.
