The Day a Telephone Pole Fell With Me On It

When I was 18, my boss sent me up a 30-foot telephone pole… and then the pole fell over with me on it. This episode is about the real kind of unsafe work nobody talks about — climbing rotten poles with no safety gear, cutting live triplex, and being thrown into situations where you’re expected to “just do it” even when your gut says you shouldn’t. It doesn’t stop there. I also tell the story of the time my boss made me climb a ladder standing in a swimming pool to change a light bulb — while two grown men held the ladder in waist-deep water. These are the kinds of shenanigans I survived before safety rules were more than just suggestions.
