Well, I watched quite a few of them. I really wonder if that's the kind of thing ordinary yanks watch and like ... and if that's the typical way they pose off?

The eyes-glued-to-the-tv-all-day-long crowd isnt the brightest on the planet. But since they've seen just about everything else, they tend to watch (and like) the things which catch their attention. It's sad, but not suprising that some channel decided to air Nosak's crap. I would be embarrassed to tears if I operated like that and the whole world got to see it. |

It's a sitcom guys, like Seinfeld. ![]() Nosedihk is Seinfeld, the climber is Kramer, the little guy with the beard is George and the chick is Elaine. I watched the 2 episodes last Thur. I think they are new ones. Star of the show is the equipment. It is funny and entertaining. We take ourselves too seriously. The public is gonna know this ain't the state of the art when they tear the roof off its rafters as they did in the last one. Then the boss, Nosedihk/Seinfeld states to the crew and camera, while booming the headache ball around the climber/Kramer's head that if he doesn't have a running conversation on the phone while opping the crane and even has to stop operating entirely at a crucial point for the climber who is in a very dangerous position, tied in to a split and fractured lead with one already broke out......"Hey,.....if I don't talk.....nobody is gonna get paid today!" That loveable, zany Nosedihk.....let's run him thru the chipper for a practical joke. rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr |

From the TLC website This Thursday's episode discription Saw For Hire Bringing Down the House TV-14 (L) Paul decides to do a little experiment to see what it is like for his customer when a tree falls on their house. So he decides to intentionally drop a 40,000 pound Maple onto a house with him inside. His crew begs him not to do it, but Paul determined. TLC :: TV Listings :: Saw For Hire you've got to be kidding me! |

They come on in 2 shows per week and the first one says the customer wants him to drop it on the house, I guess for insurance? Real likely he will collect on that claim. 40,000 lb. maple? Not likely either. |

looks like the letter writing campaign, including the one by TCIA, had the desired effect. Seems the show was cancelled..... If anyone didn't know, there's, as of now, still 13 episodes at Saw For Hire -- Tulsa’s Only Reality-Based TV Show |

You know, it might be intermission that's all. Somehow my gut feeling says Nosak aint calling it quits, he might do infomercials or something. He's got too much drive and ambition ... he doesn't respond on his own forums or youtube etc, it's like it's all part of the game.

I think TLC backed down for fear of legal ramifications. Insurance cannot possibly cover $ numbers of liability in wrongful death and letters promised to hold TLC "complicit" in the event of accident.

does anyone know where i can watch the shows that have already been aired? we watched part of it in class for a laugh, but id be interested in see what is causing such a big stir, rightfully so i will ad from what i have seen. all i saw was the crane lifting up and noballs saying that he doesn't react just command, we all got a good laugh out of it. Ive seen all the stuff on his website but the show has some better @!#$ ups. I tuned in last night but they were running reruns because of that nice little letter that the TCIA and ISA sent discovery a few years ago my boss wanted to make a tv show and get it put on home and gardens or something like that, but when we approached them they said they weren't interested because nothing went wrong and people wouldn't watch it, drama sells. |

Ekka, maybe our boy can team up with that other idot over there at ExpertVillage. With any luck they would drop a tree on each other. I would not let Nosak cut my grass |

I watched 3 of the videos here and visited that sites forum for some lolz. I can't decide which of the following 2 pictures to use for this Failsak. EDIT: Holy wtf, just googling this and found Josh Nosak (one of the brothers or whatever) was arrested for a hit an run which killed a 40yo woman while he was drunk. ![]() Last edited by Apocalypsse; 8th June 2011 at 12:07 AM. |

hey what a hoot ...this guy will probably end up with no ( ball ) sack... what a sad sack.... I picked out so many dangerous practices watching his vids ...that I am certain that the USA version of OSH would have a field day in prosecuting him for unsafe practices.

His first show got pulled after I assume most Arborists, ISA Certified and others raged hard. New problem though, he got picked up for another series doing the same thing but with a less redneck sounding name. 'Nosak' instead of 'Nosak Raw', or something like that.
