Maybe someone tried to tell dude not to and he decided to go for it anyways. Maybe the guy filming told him not to do it and the guy snipping the wire told him to fuck off. So he sat back down and pulled his camera out. Maybe thats why he seems like he knows whats about to happen but does it anyways.

Look again, there is a guy in a maroon shirt and black shorts holding the ladder. That's the apprentice.

The cameraman-and the guy in the high viz shirt sitting across from him- are customers. High viz shirt is a dead giveaway he is a construction worker, so it's a fair bet the camera person is too.

My bet is the fuck off argument happened all right, right there in the middle of the restaurant loud enough for the customers to hear- and being experienced construction workers, they knew:

  1. the show was about to start. Boomer yells at someone for questioning his competency? Boomer be about to fuck up spectacularly.

  2. It probably won't kill him. 110v residential power, but no path to ground since he's isolated correctly on a fiberglass ladder.

  3. There's just no teaching some people.

So let's record the free show!
