New rising country singer

Anyone would know you don't wear a uniform and make personal videos - he deserved to be fired.  Few years ago I watched part of a video or two of his felling timber - he is a moron, no other way to say it.  I recall his dog and or kids were in the fall zone of the tree he was trying to jack over.  Won't even click on this video.

Yeah, that's a no brainer unless you presentation is with the full knowledge and pre-approval of that entity and represents their mission. I recall a nationally known Fire Officer who gave the keynote speech at the most respected Fire conference in the world (FDIC). He had addressed that group many many times before and taught there every year, very often in uniform, especially formal addresses and speeches. There was never an issue. BUT one year he gave the Keynote speech and his remarks could (and were) taken by some as controversial (mostly high level bureaucrats, others took it as a carefully crafted wake up call for the way we approach things in the fire service that fostered re-thinking and discussion. Well he got in a lot of hot water with his department (again, one of the largest and best in the nation) and he did nearly loose his job. 
 I watched that speech live and pondered his remarks for a day or two and decided I wanted to use it in my training programs. When I tried to download it, I found it was gone from any server I could find. It had been removed everywhere it was stored. It took me a year to finally find someone who had a copy and they emailed me a CD. I thought it a great speech that fostered good thought and discussion, but they guy almost lost his job and career.
 But SS, you comments made me remember this guy's videos I did watch a while back. He struck me as a bit of a sloppy boob that worked like a bull in a china shop. The only thing that impressed me was that he was still alive (given his work habits) and that he was entirely forgettable. He was a jerk then too. :D

 To me, the biggest benefit that came to me from being an admin is that if Wranglerstar ever tried to join the forum, I could personally reject him😂

 Kinda like what OG said, sometimes knowing something is worse than knowing nothing.

My Pop always said "Tis better to be thought of as a fool than to open your move and prove it" and I think that applies to Wranglestar.
---------------------------------------------------
Not to side track the thread, but my previous comments made me recall that speech I talked about, so I went to see if I could find it. It was in 2009 and as I said, it disappeared quickly. Well somebody re-posted it years later (2017) and I am glad it's out there. With the thousands of hours I had in training, drills, the Academy, and conferences, it is the best presentation i have ever heard and makes for excellent training. I watched the whole thing again. I encourage every active firefighter to watch this video and consider Ray's remarks as it applies to them. So I am going to post it here for those with an interest with my apologies for sidetracking a bit. The speech is filled with inside jokes and technical comments and terms that only firefighters will get, such as the opening comments about 'his new vest' which many will understand and very funny and also a deep dig at the safety fairies. (I laughed pretty hard at that part.) But when Ray gets to the meat of his thoughts at the 13 minute point, everyone can understand almost all of it, even if they lack the first hand experience to understand how the job feels when you do it.
 Take what you will from it and please be safe out there.

He is the type to become a spandex sawyer if he ever buys a mill.

Your mouse clicks have power now. :D :D  He likes to be at the centre so he can have his preach sessions, and hack psychology rants. So he's not likely to last too long if he did slip through. ;D
Wranglerstar over the years has learned to preface a lot of his content with the fact that his way is not necessarily the right way. ;D I watch his channel for entertainment purposes only as he's such a goof at most things, not a lot to learn there.

However, I do think there are instances of individuals whining and belly aching about someone else instead of finding something within to pursue better outcomes and move on. ;) Never once did I hear my grandparents or my father ever complain. In fact, even when done wrong by, they always found a way to see some humor in it. I can remember some stories and a few laughs.

He's got a mobile dimension mill, Lucus I believe. Had it for 6 years. He has some sawing videos. But it looks more to me like a hobby or own use.

Wranglerstar with 2.4 million subscribers and 3400 videos knows exactly what he is doing on YouTube 
Rolling Stone did an article on him recently

Not a very favorable article either. He got in a panic and privatized all his videos, then stood back a day or two to assess, then made them public again. And then came out after the aftermath with a video over it all. :D You just can't take him too seriously. I never have.  Old Bernstein isn't too impressed by him. :D

[Southside]

The Kardashians have a lot of subscribers too. Doesn't mean there is any validity to their content.

I've never heard of WranglerStar until now.  I thought is was some kind of fancy new camper as in "Go see the world in a WranglerStar."

So I watched a couple minutes of the video and immediately dislike Mr. W. Star (I even dislike his name) and judge him to be a cross between Howard Stern and an Ambulance Chaser.  Pretty much 100% slime.  He's just a publicity hound in my book.  It's rare for me to dislike someone so quickly, but hey, being overly judgmental is one of my better qualities.

I've watched a couple of unscripted interviews with Oliver, he comes across as an intelligent, normal, Average Joe, who has good points and bad points, as we all do, but he seems to be able to put it in a song better than most.  The lyrics say what he and many million Americans are feeling right now, and so more power to him.

True county music, as Trace Adkins says, is "Songs about Me and Who I am" and Oliver is singing about his experiences and thoughts and I hope the fame doesn't get to him.  He has certainly touched a chord in America.  I like him.

"Poor Men south of Wilsons"

Suggested chorus lyrics...

Ain't it a pity,
When folks from the city,
Plow under corn then plant houses,
Down in Dinwiddy   ;D

Edit: Suggested verse lyrics:

And them poor men south of Wilsons,
They don't know
What they'll do, when there's no land left,
For their corn to grow

[Old Greenhorn]

Just to keep my conscience clear I have to correct myself here. I had actually never seen any of his videos before, I had him confused with another (similar guy). I still think he is a jerk and just scamming for attention though. ;D
 I did skim that RS article and saw where he said he never worked for NFS, just took training with them, so I don't get any of the details with that if he got 'fired' from a job he never held. The NFS says they never heard of him, so if he claimed they fired him, well... there ya go.
 Anyway, he got what he wanted, he wasted a lot of our bandwidth here. I'll not watch anything he produced in the future.

And thanks to SD, or we likely would never have heard of him, me included. Goes to show how such minor recognition can get blown up and the result is more and more watchers of his YouTube channel.

[SwampDonkey]

I've mentioned him now and again, when I wanted to mention how things aren't done his way or that he is way off on his calculations. Like one of his firewood making videos. :D Like I said before, not much knowledge shared there. He reminds me of many dooms dayers who can never quite pin down the event or when it is to be, with the religious talk along with it. An age old profession. :D He was raised in a cult, so I'm sure a lot has rubbed off from there, even though he denounced it.

Here's another one someone sent me that I'd say is related to this thread. It's almost like a whole lot of people are pithed off!

Peterson is a Canadian psychologist who has had a podcast for a number of years. He's been on Joe Rogan's podcast many times. The censorship police would like to shut him up. :D
