Looks like the have started back up again last night. I woke up late last night and it was on, but I was so tired, I'm not sure which projects were done. My DVR recorded it and I will have to watch it. They sure don't promote it that much.

I understand that everyday is learning something new but, this is not the first time I have seen this with them. The set ups on this show just do not do anything for me and the professional demeanor of the staff or should I say Unprofessional demeanor is incredible. I am just saying, when you are featured on a national television show representing a large outfit such as Dykon leave the beer drinking attitude at the bar. As a Owner I would be pissed. Any decent wrecking or blasting company ALWAYS exhibits 100% professionalism on EVERY project. Especially in the public eye. Lets not forget that we are in this to keep working and making money. Everyday people are amazed at what we do. Lets not look like a bunch of clowns!

The company they use "Dykon Blasting" in my opinion is a little less to be desired. I used them on a project where we brought down two blast furnaces. The first one almost did not come down and the secound hung up and was shot two more times before they got it. I asked them questions about how they were setting it up and got snubbed like I know idea what I was talking about. Sure as I thought it hung up where I thought it would. Then they REALLY would not talk to me. In shooting a building you get what you pay for with the company you hire. We hired them because they were the cheapest.

I missed it because my DVR didn't record it because it recorded 2 other programs that I didn't know about some this one got dumped. I will just have to wait until it comes back on repeat.

I am glad they are showing that tonight. I have worked with Dykon and really like those guys. We all know everyone has problems on projects and where it counts is how we handle them. That to me is what separates the true professionals. I don't know much about that building so I will be watching tonight.

I'm actually enjoying the show so far.

I've never met Paul Worsey before, but damn is he funny. He had me cracking up last night, I can only assume he is that way in "real life".

Anybody else watching it?

Now I can just picture someone getting on that game show and try to lose, so he could get rid of his creaky old rat-infested hole-in-the-wall house (after first taking out and storing elsewhere anything he wants to keep).
Cash Cab H-and-R would be OK if they leave out the peds, even tho it would just end up like a demolition derby on city streets. Of course, they could still H-and-R signs, shrubbery, light poles, parking meters, and buildings.
Now, how 'bout a house demo derby? There's plenty of car/truck/other vehicles demo derbies, but never one with houses. Mobile homes would be a good start. Put a container of gooey green liquid in one of those houses, w/o any of the contestants knowing which house has it. Whoever makes that one go SPLAT! wins that physical challenge. I Double Dare you to do it in the Super Sloppiest way. On your mark, Get set, GO! (Couldn't leave that out. I don't call myself splatman for nothing :spinningsmile: ) Maybe Marc Summers or Jason Harris should host it, then. :D
Oh wait, you want things that go BOOM!, not SPLAT!? OK, just put some dynamite in said slime tank, now you've got your BOOM!, albeit a very messy one. ha ha
Give it an explosive Splat!
