      things that should be familiar.
      1) Mike Rowe's voice
      2) "I reject your reality and substitute my own"
      3) "am i missing an eyebrow"

      Mike Rowe is the reason I went into the trades. Mythbusters is why I became a carpenter with an engineers mind.

    Mr. Rowe, you sir, are a national treasure. You said something once that will stick with me for the rest of my life, and since hearing it, I've quoted you quite often. You said, "We can't expect a colorblind future when we have a color obsessed present." That's one of the truest statements I've heard all year. Unfortunately there just seems to be far too much money and power to be gained from race-baiting and dividing us based on the color of our skin. The saddest part is our own current government appears to be the most prolific race hustlers of all. Nonetheless, I will continue to quote you on that point until Americans finally wake the hell up. Unless of course I die, or I simply forget. Thank you, Mr. Rowe, for being so damn cool.

    Thanks for all the dirty jobs, sea captains, comos revelation and the fact that my grandchildren might be able to call a plumber or HVAC tech (if they arent one themselves). There are very few people, especially entertainers, that i can look at and think "well done". You're at the top of that list.

    Mike, I've been listening to you for years, obviously! And watched every Dirty Jobs! I'm over educated & disabled, so I homeschool my 13 y.o. son. He loves you & your content. We live in AL so you are a big deal here. Our county just opened it's 1st tech high school in 20+ years & the website for applications crashed in the 1st three hours! The pendulum is swinging fast to trades! You started this! I'm from the "go to college, you'll be fine" GenX set. Well that didn't work out for me even with 2 degrees. Thankfully, I worked full time & paid for my own college & own nothing. But, I know plenty of people for whom that is not the case. And you have opened so many people's eyes to that! Be proud!🎉

    A few years ago I went to a Jay Leno standup concert and the show was good. To me the awesome part was he did a Q & A at the end.
    I think it would be great if you did a speaking tour. Tickets would sell, maybe not large shows but intimate theatres. I could see your anxiety answering unedited questions on stage for your performance unless questions are submitted ahead of time.

    *A wise word to young dating Men.*
    If your date does something rude or corrects you on your date. You need to either just get up say thank you and leave or finish the date and never contact them again. Dates are the best barometer of what your life would be like with that person. I can look back on almost every date I've had and a continued relationship with that woman and I always saw later that our first date threw up red flags that I should have run from. If the women is rude at any point, they're annoying, if they monopolize the conversation or focused on themselves the entire date or they're not intrested in me or my life, past or future then that's how they're going to be in your relationship. Women don't really put on a fake Persona of themselves. They do emphasize what they believe is the positive about themselves and that's usually a negative to Men. Women have trouble telling the truth with numbers so be careful. If a women blames every past relationship on the Man then run. That means they believe they are perfect and they are in no way responsible for their relationship not working our. That means she's not willing to change or grow for any Man and that means you too. A women that says her ex's were all terrible, lying, cheating and worthless Men thsy means those are the type of Men she sttracts abd prefers. *Don't be her next ex!*

You got me thinking about my various careers which seemed to change every eight to ten years or so, and I bet there would be others that had history like that which would be interesting.

    Hi Mike, I have enjoyed watching your programmes since Dirty Jobs on Discovery Channel (in Singapore) to Somebody's Gotta Do It. Keep it up, Sir!

    Mike, As a guy your age, March '62, from up the road, Lancaster, PA, a waning NASCAR fan interested in language, I hanged in here in order to google 'whelm' and make this comment. I now think that you are whelming in the sense that you provide description that immerses "us" into the story. To Mary's question; I could see an open forum of learning deep subject matters aided by google search, guided by insightful people, as an expedition into the heart of darkness that we yearn for, ie.what's going on?. I've been thinking about writing a book titled "Wait, Whoa, What? B$ness as use-you-all". Too 60 grit? Lazy isn't the question to me, there are busybodies ending everywhere. Are we building insight into real values? See The Ultimate History Lesson with John Taylor Gatto for reasons to wake up. Mark Passio's Natural Law talk should ring some bells. Where is everybody Mike? Have a wonderful day.
