I knew Mike would not only get Theo's humor, but match that energy and be down to play along for the laughs!! Mike Rowe is an American hero and a national treasure 🇺🇸
@Stugna Bulah I promise you those that are ungrateful will continue to think so. And those of us that do them aren't looking for acceptance from people like them.
He’s one of the men that inspired me to start my career. Him and a few others on Discovery for those years when they didn’t mind getting their hands dirty.
Yes I wish they would do some sort of travel show, they can go to farms or freak shows and I think both of them would have an excellent time and show us some more real, regular Americans
Surprised how many do. Then Gretzky was on here running with Theos weird ideas. The Great One does it, anyone can be cool and humble. Like Mike running with spunk minion.
The bookend these 2 somehow put together for this whole discussion is a thing of beauty... he went from a start of harvesting bull semen via electric current to pissing on an electric fence covered in his own urine and cow shit to finish up. Perfection.
@@MaybeDOOM I can relate growing up on a cattle farm in texas there is something wierdly satisfying about a turd going kurplop on a hard surface and oh the cow shit wars we had me and my brother
Mike was such a big part of my life. Core memories sitting with my mother as a child. She passed when i was 12, i had no father, people like Mike became my role models. In a big way i love that man.
Nobody else got this Waterboy? Mike Rowe is the Devil!!! Lol. Or is your name Bobby Bow-cher and you and your mom really watched this..I don't know if this is a joke or you are fr
Wow, I forgot how much Mike impacted my childhood watching him on TV back in the day. And seeing Theo and Mike together is something we didn't know we needed. Killller
@@DoogieH92 Not sure why, but there is a bunch of vids on line hating on the guy. Oh well....I just remember him from Dirty Jobs and it was a great show with a great message.
"Above all, I'm grateful." Amen! Mike is a treasure and more people to listen to his wise words. If you're looking for a good role model for your sons or brothers or husbands, look no further, Mike is surely a diamond in the rough.
We had a Mike Rowe Works event at my high school freshman year, and that event is the sole reason I chose to become a mechanic instead of going to to a 4 year college. Having someone tell me that college WASNT necessary instead of having it shoved down my throat was so helpful in finding my way. Now I’m sitting back doing something I genuinely enjoy and getting paid to do so.
This is one of Theo’s best podcast episodes ever. Such authenticity from both Theo and Mike, and with a narrative thread that holds all the stories together. I’ll be watching this one again for sure.
The Theo Von SCAM!!! He is from El Segundo California!! He couldn't make it as a child actor so his agent came up with the Louisiana gimmick and he's been doing it ever since!! The hillbilly Andy Kaufman!
😂I didn't even catch it when he said it! ...It was just so casually delivered, that my mind just went to Tommy Lee Jones' line from 'No Country for Old Men', "I'm older now than he ever was", and I just rolled with it.😂
I've been in a really dark depression for a very long time now. I've pretty much given up and have felt. "What's the point, I'm just going to..." was my whole personality until this very moment. Wow, Mike and Theo. Thank you. Like, yall just saved a life you owe nothing to and will never even know I exists. Those words and how Mike explained it were so powerful to me. "Above all, I am grateful."
Hey Mike I came from a broken home and had very little options in life. Voices like yours led me to the trades and now I won't even get out of bed for less than $40 an hour and full benefits. I wake up clean and go home dirty but life is good🤘 You do more for people than you probably realize.
A lot of people are “perfect with Theo” but Mike is actually perfect IMO. Theo randomly riffs and Mike registers joke laughs, adds something if he can and quickly moves on. Too many people try to riff back and forth and the joke dies slowly and kills the momentum

Mike Rowe is one of the very few people in showbiz that I know is just a genuinely good guy. He’s just a good person with good values, I hope he stays with us for years to come!
"Guess who's back..... Back, back again!!" Lol I saw a video of Mike "rapping" a lil Eminem announcing he'd back to do more seasons of Dirty Jobs!!! Said he was done, but they pulled him back in, LFG!! Hahah honestly its the most excited I've been about a show coming back in a long time. Dirty Jobs is a show the whole fam loves to watch together, which is super rare
@@InspectorButters4how do you KNOW that? Do you know him outside of his work on tv? Bet you don’t, bet no one knows anything about this man behind closed doors. So…. Only actual good person in showbiz. 🤦♂️ Lmao… these comment sections are more see through than a window pane

This is hands down my favorite episode. You two conversed like two brothers that haven’t seen each other in a few years. Also I never knew Mike was so funny.
This man made me not ashamed to do what I do for a living. I went from picking up garbage on the ground in a salvage yard. To running one of my states largest yards. Thank you
Good on u dude!!! Mike made people like us (blue collar/construction/laborers/tradesmen of all kinds) proud to be hard working guys and proud of what we contribute, however big or small. Mike Rowe is a legend and a truly wise man...... he's a hell of fun interview too lol
This might be the guest of the year. Mike Rowe was interesting, really funny, laughed and caught on to all Theo's jokes. Fun episode because they had a good vibes together and every conversation sounded like Mike and Theo are long time friends.
I grew up watching Mike Rowe - Dirty Jobs. He showed me that there are many jobs out there and you can be proud doing all of them. From the bottom of my heart, thanks Mike for making my childhood so great.
@@jasondashney Mike Rowe is as fake a human being as they come. Don't be afraid to look up information on people you idolize. The Koch brothers give him money and messages to spread. Give me Mike's salary on that show and I'd go do every shitty job around with a giant smile on my face too. Anyone would. And he never even put in a full day anywhere... lol
@@jasondashneyyour heroes are the dudes building roads, linemen, oil drillers, etc. not some schmuck who found a niche to draw attention to the obvious 😊
Mike Rowe encouraged all three of my sons to do trade work! My son who went to college even turned to a trade. Now we have one son who is a mechanic, one son is a skilled pile driver building bridges, and one son runs cable and wiring in the wings of aircraft. I ma so prod of all three of my sons and thankful skilled labor is making a comeback.
Mike is such a vibe. He’s so down to earth and a straight up cool dude. Theo is in his element and they need to make more content together be on his podcast Theo and have him on again. I loved it.
You should check out his Videos with his Mom… or even more… Letters from my mother… I laugh my Ass off with Peggy Rowe, Mike and his producer Chuck… seriously comedy GOLD
This was so well done, both men just being themselves. It was authentic on every level. May we please have more of this day to day, human to human. We need it.
Damn, Mike got me when he was talking about Mike Rowe Works and the scholarships he's been able to give out for the trades n working class people as a whole... I'm a scaffold building Union Carpenter and his understanding and dedication to our struggle n way of life got me unexpectedly emotional... I love you brother, and hope to meet you some day!!
The only celebrity I ever saw was Mike Rowe walking through a terminal at O'Hare. I was around 12 or so, it was the height of Dirty Jobs, and I stared with my mouth open as I recognized him. He kept his gait and nodded at me, made me smile back. The guy is a total vibe
i knew this would be an awesome conversation between these 2, like long lost friends catching up on life 👍always enjoyed watching Mike over the years and admired what he stood for
It really is great. Mike Rowe seriously put a spotlight on all the jobs that keep America moving you never think of and it's awesome that he's helped people get their certificates/degrees/whatever for skilled trades. I seriously watched dirty jobs everyday when I wasn't in school back in the day. Theo has really found a groove
FINALLY. This is the podcast I've been wanting for years. Two absolute badasses with hilarious and amazing stories coming together. They need their own show full time
Somebody call Discovery channel and let's get it going!! Mike carried that network on his back for 20yrs, why not let him carry it for another 10yrs or so?? lol, Mike and Theo together is just PURE GOLD!!!! 😁 Gang 😁
Mike is literally my childhood. Grew up watching dirty jobs and hearing him narrate everything. I'm now a 25 year old welder, and honestly think I went the direction of a trade because of Mike Rowe. Love Mike and Theo together. Would watch every single episode
Welder here in NY, love seeing it be ome a viable, lifelong pursuit. I have 2 young cousins that are also welders, just into the Union job work in NY and Fl. Stay safe Brother , and make sure to protect those eyeballs!
I'm 68 and when I was a little girl, we played Jacks, and that center in the golf ball is the best for Jacks. I know what you mean, Mike, about cutting a golf ball open and unwinding the thin stretchy outer core. Thanks for the memory!❤
That's because you haven't seen/watched the 85 South Show or drink champs... But I also watched this podcast/episode from start to finish... dirty jobs is my shit!
The one of Theo interviewing Hulk Hogan is good even if you're not in the wrestling . The one with Ric Flair is pretty good also . The Hulk Hogan one was just really good for some reason .
Mike Rowe makes me so proud of the blue collar family I come from. My dad is a welder and my husband is a construction supervisor. He really makes you treasure the unseen hard workers in the world.
Love Mike Rowe! When Theo made a passing comment a while back about having Mike on I couldn't wait! This guest is one of the most common sense people out there today!
With every curveball from Theo, Mike was right on top of it, smashing it. These two could literally come on together, once a week, and I’d listen every time.
This was a good one, i always respected Mike Rowe for his raw realness, and the way he used the most basic level employees, and the most important worker's as well, and brought it to Americas living rooms and made us aware of a whole new level of reality and truth.
Theo and Rowe work so well together. I could see them doing a No Reservations mixed with Dirty Jobs kind of travel show. They would be funny as hell together.
I absolutely adore Mike Rowe! When asked who my “Hollywood“ crush is, it’s always an easy answer. Mike just embodies everything that a man should be ❤️
It’s so hard to rank the best podcasts that Theo has done but Mike Rowe is so perfect for this show-somebody you thought was a regular everyday guy but then you find out how much he has experienced in his life that’s why I like to engage people everywhere I go because you never know what us humans have experienced and their take serious or funny on things in life
Mike Rowe becomes more likeable every time I have the opportunity to hear him speak! Such a genuine and honest guy in a world full of the opposite is such a breath of fresh air. Mike deserves all his flowers then some!!
That's not all golf balls by the way for the people wanting to try at home. I tried a few different ones probably 20 years ago. Some are filled with liquid or something weird.
I could listen to Mike Rowe talk all day. He is so fascinating to me. Dirty Jobs is one of the best shows, creative and shows the importance of the jobs people do everyday - jobs that make our lives livable. Great guest!
I remember the first time I saw Dirty Jobs when it aired for its first season, my family recognized Mike right away before we even knew his name before the the show really took off like it did. But I remember everybody saying “hey look, it’s the “Primestar guy””! Before Direct TV and Dish Network, we had a satellite tv provider called Primestar, and on their test or default channel, 24hr/day played an endless loop of Mike Rowe against a solid white background telling you how to use your remote control, how to add different channel packages, how to reset your receiver, and common troubleshooting tips. Because they used that channel as their default starting channel anytime you turn on the receiver and anytime it had a service issue, it would usually end up playing with his voice in the background for hours at a time, so we got a custom to his iconic voice. He’s forever known as “The Primestar Guy” in our family.
Mike Rowe honestly just seems like he'd be an awesome guy to live near to where you could come home after work and just talk with him because he knows what you've been through.
I knew Mike would not only get Theo's humor, but match that energy and be down to play along for the laughs!! Mike Rowe is an American hero and a national treasure 🇺🇸
Hear that!! I knew this would be a banger. It's so important for the guest to understand and roll with Theo or it just doesn't hit
Why "hero?" He's cool and I'm glad he's using his voice the way he does but...
He's a G.I.A.N.T. referring to Mike Rowe, Global Icon And National Treasure

Yeah like Theo talking about masturbating ... jeeze .
I’m protective of Theo though. I feel like Mike was being rude/sarcastic a couple of times. A couple of appropriate times, but still. He’s the guest

You’re absolutely right! Tho my normal response to shenanigans is “could you imagine” and then my brain gets lost in imagination lol.

Theo is just a vibe
Right.Lol. Pretty Cool.
Theo and Rowe together are, unsurprisingly, extraordinary.
This duo should start their own weekly podcast. They have great banter.
Agreed!
Really...Theo is too dumb!!!
Did we watch the same interview, or are you 12yrs old
Yeah they do. This could've gone on for 10 hours, I doubt anyone would've gotten bored
Why do people make this suggestion when there's chemistry on a PC? It would lose the magic and become regular. Enjoy what we've watched today.

Thank you Theo for having this living legend on the show! Mike is truly a treasure that should be heard by more Americans, common sense has gone away!
Feels like a cartoon crossover with these two meeting for an interview two legends.
Woah,...he nailed that "if you're working to create the appearance, then you're a part of the production, which is the enemy of authenticity" idea.
So good
Its goes well with the other quote: "If its free, you are the product"

I hope they become lifelong friends
Theo is fuckin hilarious
If you don't like Theo, it says more about you than it does Theo
Yes, I agree. Seems like the same initial dynamic as with Jordan Peterson
Not only that but Mike is cracking up Theo sometimes. They should have a show together man. I would watch Mike and Theo on some adventures for sure.
Watch the Loius CK one cuz he didn't know Theo and you get to see him understand him throughout the episode and there was a genuine affection.
This man is so eloquent, the simplicity truly brings out the weight of his words. "DirtyJobs was.... not a show... It's a love letter to work."
Love❤ Rowe
As someone who has been in the trades for years and loves what I do, that line nearly pulled a tear from my eye. Mike is the coolest.
Yep. So eloquent. Dude probes a bull dick and inseminates a cow with it, by hand. Damn poetry. 😂

"Carving out a piece of something real" ...well put Mike. Love to see Theo getting the recognition he deserves, thank you guys.
This is the best guest Theo Von has ever had, just so entertaining while also being so profound
I'm going on record. My favorite interview to date !! I have such an enormous amount of respect for Mike Rowe. Man's a legend
he seems to get the humor so easily, best guest ever. and i didnt even know him before hand
also its hilarious they keep the cow cocks in, instantly demonitized
Hell yeah
Yea this is one of the best
Yes!
Mike is probably one of few people I would genuinely want to meet from TV
Good call. He's one of the very, very few "heroes" I'd risk meeting.
@@jasondashney Mike Rowe is as fake a human being as they come. Don't be afraid to look up information on people you idolize. The Koch brothers give him money and messages to spread. Give me Mike's salary on that show and I'd go do every shitty job around with a giant smile on my face too. Anyone would. And he never even put in a full day anywhere... lol
Totally agree with you. Very down to earth
@@double65 You're confused. It's okay.
@@jasondashneyyour heroes are the dudes building roads, linemen, oil drillers, etc. not some schmuck who found a niche to draw attention to the obvious 😊
Mike Rowe encouraged all three of my sons to do trade work! My son who went to college even turned to a trade. Now we have one son who is a mechanic, one son is a skilled pile driver building bridges, and one son runs cable and wiring in the wings of aircraft. I ma so prod of all three of my sons and thankful skilled labor is making a comeback.
Mike is such a vibe. He’s so down to earth and a straight up cool dude. Theo is in his element and they need to make more content together be on his podcast Theo and have him on again. I loved it.
I aspire to have his demeanor
💯 😍
A vibe? What do you mean?
Boy, Mike & Theo are a GREAT comedy team!
You just wanna copulate with both of them, tell us without telling us.
You can tell Mike is such a good guy, and he’s surprisingly funny
its real boots on the ground humour aswell. relatable, you can tell he's spent a lot on time with us tradies
I don't know about surprisingly, dirty jobs was funny af
You should check out his Videos with his Mom… or even more… Letters from my mother… I laugh my Ass off with Peggy Rowe, Mike and his producer Chuck… seriously comedy GOLD
This was so well done, both men just being themselves. It was authentic on every level. May we please have more of this day to day, human to human. We need it.

Damn, Mike got me when he was talking about Mike Rowe Works and the scholarships he's been able to give out for the trades n working class people as a whole... I'm a scaffold building Union Carpenter and his understanding and dedication to our struggle n way of life got me unexpectedly emotional... I love you brother, and hope to meet you some day!!
The only celebrity I ever saw was Mike Rowe walking through a terminal at O'Hare. I was around 12 or so, it was the height of Dirty Jobs, and I stared with my mouth open as I recognized him. He kept his gait and nodded at me, made me smile back. The guy is a total vibe
I almost choked when Theo said “if that thing gets loose in a school yard”😂
I was dead af too😂 was mad random
😂😂😂😂 I did the same.. only Theo😂
Two kings!
Mike's ability to communicate in layman terms paired with Theo's ability to blind side Mike with his comments from left field, pure gold!
i knew this would be an awesome conversation between these 2, like long lost friends catching up on life 👍always enjoyed watching Mike over the years and admired what he stood for
This is one of the best podcast episodes I have seen in a long time. These two have chemistry
agree. these 2 guys are insightful & really funny. I liked the way Theo would make Mike laugh. I was laughing at the same time/humor.
I completely agree! Mike is the role model not enough people have chosen to admire and of course him and Theo hit it off from the start
It really is great. Mike Rowe seriously put a spotlight on all the jobs that keep America moving you never think of and it's awesome that he's helped people get their certificates/degrees/whatever for skilled trades. I seriously watched dirty jobs everyday when I wasn't in school back in the day. Theo has really found a groove
@@b0ssatr0n91 I was just thinking the same thing great episode
I instantly downloaded the episode! I drive for a living and this episode was the fastest two hours of my day. I love it!
The voice combined with the humour and the stories, the charm….what a man.
The guy from river monsters too
Mike isn't bad either
Use to watch river monster guy till he said he hides from people like us who watch him won't sign autographs don't want bothered by people
@DoobieDeb Because wierd people starving for an autograph invading people's privacy are wierd. Take a look in the mirror...
Theo Does it Again! His guest choices are so crazy and awesome.
Absolutely, love mike.
I thought I was going to go to sleep listening to Theo and Mike Rowe... Nope. It's 1am and I'm awake and not regretting it.
FINALLY. This is the podcast I've been wanting for years. Two absolute badasses with hilarious and amazing stories coming together. They need their own show full time
Somebody call Discovery channel and let's get it going!! Mike carried that network on his back for 20yrs, why not let him carry it for another 10yrs or so?? lol, Mike and Theo together is just PURE GOLD!!!! 😁 Gang 😁
Love this idea
MIKE IS THE DAD THEO ALWAYS DESERVED. 😂
WHAT A GREAT MATCH UP.
I was thinking the same.
😢 🍻✌
Theo Von and Mike Rowe is the interview I never knew I needed but will be eternally grateful that it exists.
Mike is literally my childhood. Grew up watching dirty jobs and hearing him narrate everything. I'm now a 25 year old welder, and honestly think I went the direction of a trade because of Mike Rowe. Love Mike and Theo together. Would watch every single episode
Yesss welder here too! I grew up watching Dirty Jobs. Mike Rowe inspired me to work hard.
Welder here in NY, love seeing it be ome a viable, lifelong pursuit. I have 2 young cousins that are also welders, just into the Union job work in NY and Fl. Stay safe Brother , and make sure to protect those eyeballs!
@@chrispuletz2946 welder in upstate NY. Starting my own welding company. Stay safe buddy
@@Dwightkschrute47 I'm in New Paltz
he actually isnt a tradesman though, hes never worked a trade in his life.
I'm 68 and when I was a little girl, we played Jacks, and that center in the golf ball is the best for Jacks. I know what you mean, Mike, about cutting a golf ball open and unwinding the thin stretchy outer core. Thanks for the memory!❤
This is the first time I’ve watched a lengthy podcast from start to finish. Mike is a national treasure.
That's because you haven't seen/watched the 85 South Show or drink champs... But I also watched this podcast/episode from start to finish... dirty jobs is my shit!
The one of Theo interviewing Hulk Hogan is good even if you're not in the wrestling .
The one with Ric Flair is pretty good also .
The Hulk Hogan one was just really good for some reason .
I love that they get each others humor. Most guests don't even laugh at Theo's gems.
I dunno how you can call it a gem if people don't laugh
@@johnv6806to most people a gem is still a rock
@@itchycroe411 freaking Confucius level wisdom right there
No one has ever gotten Theo in his whole life than Mike Rowe
Mike Rowe makes me so proud of the blue collar family I come from. My dad is a welder and my husband is a construction supervisor. He really makes you treasure the unseen hard workers in the world.
Mr. Rowe deserves all of the lifetime achievement awards that there are to be had in American entertainment

Man equals or surpasses Steve Irwin and Mr rogers.
Love Mike Rowe! When Theo made a passing comment a while back about having Mike on I couldn't wait! This guest is one of the most common sense people out there today!
With every curveball from Theo, Mike was right on top of it, smashing it. These two could literally come on together, once a week, and I’d listen every time.
This worked out better than I ever could have imagined. Mike is the best guest for any show but who knew he was so perfect for Theo
Theo does podcasts about the working people and Mike Rowe advocates for trades and the working people so it kinda really does make sense
Ever seen anything ever involving Mike Rowe that wasn't a joy to watch? He seems like the most pleasant person ever.
Every time Mike speaks I’m more convinced that he is the very best this generation of humanity has to offer
But then there’s you, who can carry the torch.
@@HammerOfJustice124 I appreciate the sentiment but I could never hold a candle or carry a torch in comparison to Mr Rowe
One of if not THE best interview for Theo!
Mike is an amazing and fun guest.
Just watched the episode again and I definitely appreciate it more. These guys have amazing chemistry and this was funny AF.
I love how Mike gets Theo's humor and laughs throughout 😂
Wish Theo laughed more at Mikes humor though..
That's Mike being nice...Theo is a dumb$#!t. He's not that funny.
It’s absolutely bonkers how Theo can vibe so well with every guest!
Bonkers how something podcasts chase down A tier celebrity, while Theo is here throwing heavy hitters interviewing turkey farmers and morticians
Especially the perverts....
I remember when the episode with Jocko came out, I thought it was gonna be painful to watch but it was great
Vibe? I thought it was painful to watch he has some good lines but he seems out of his element and didn’t do the greatest job
Theo is the cutest dude!
Mike Rowe voice...man it's like rocky silk flowing into your ears. It's damn near perfect
This was a good one, i always respected Mike Rowe for his raw realness, and the way he used the most basic level employees, and the most important worker's as well, and brought it to Americas living rooms and made us aware of a whole new level of reality and truth.
Theo and Rowe work so well together. I could see them doing a No Reservations mixed with Dirty Jobs kind of travel show. They would be funny as hell together.
Theo has a lot of really great guests but this might be the best one.
I absolutely adore Mike Rowe! When asked who my “Hollywood“ crush is, it’s always an easy answer. Mike just embodies everything that a man should be ❤️
That was as good as any podcast I’ve ever seen. Mike Rowe is such an amazing man, and the respect they have for each other came through.
So lucky to be able to sit there with him. What a hero mike is.
The HVAC industry saved my life. Literally. Best decision I’ve ever made. God bless.
This is the most hilarious shit ive ever read
@@AshiwiZuni Why?
@@fredsanford336 its just the most American string of words someone has ever put together, and I dont mean that in a good way 💀
@@AshiwiZuni finding meaning in stable work can really help your get over that need for a sense of purpose. Doesn't matter what that field is.
@@nsquezada27 finding meaning through labor is only real when labor isnt exploited. Which is impossible under capitalism.
That was a great real talk. It took me back to 20 years ago when people actually talked to each other . Well done men.
It’s so hard to rank the best podcasts that Theo has done but Mike Rowe is so perfect for this show-somebody you thought was a regular everyday guy but then you find out how much he has experienced in his life that’s why I like to engage people everywhere I go because you never know what us humans have experienced and their take serious or funny on things in life
Seriously Mike Row is one of the best water marks for a good dad that we have now in society. Peace be the journey.
Yep, he is a true male role model for boys and young men.
Ok fine then. Whatever that means.
@@Wesmancanwhat's your problem? Probably think men can be women huh
Mike Rowe is such a smooth talker. Need to have him on again
I didn't think I could love Mike anymore than I did... Top 5 guests, hands down!
Needs to be on JRE
Mike Rowe becomes more likeable every time I have the opportunity to hear him speak! Such a genuine and honest guy in a world full of the opposite is such a breath of fresh air. Mike deserves all his flowers then some!!
This is the single best podcast episode ive ever seen. Unbelievable chemistry.
I laughed so hard so many times during this! I was hoping other people found it as incredibly awesome as I did!
Mike just blew Theo's mind by telling him what is inside a golf ball.
5:44
That's not all golf balls by the way for the people wanting to try at home. I tried a few different ones probably 20 years ago. Some are filled with liquid or something weird.
@@CapFlipGaming I think they fill them up with pee. I MAY be wrong though.
Mine too
@@coomr419 I know the air inside a basketball smells like pee… don’t know why though.
I could listen to Mike Rowe talk all day. He is so fascinating to me. Dirty Jobs is one of the best shows, creative and shows the importance of the jobs people do everyday - jobs that make our lives livable. Great guest!
Not enough people give wayne and garth credit for having one of the earliest video podcasts
Lol
Totally
A sphincter says what?
I remember the first time I saw Dirty Jobs when it aired for its first season, my family recognized Mike right away before we even knew his name before the the show really took off like it did. But I remember everybody saying “hey look, it’s the “Primestar guy””! Before Direct TV and Dish Network, we had a satellite tv provider called Primestar, and on their test or default channel, 24hr/day played an endless loop of Mike Rowe against a solid white background telling you how to use your remote control, how to add different channel packages, how to reset your receiver, and common troubleshooting tips. Because they used that channel as their default starting channel anytime you turn on the receiver and anytime it had a service issue, it would usually end up playing with his voice in the background for hours at a time, so we got a custom to his iconic voice. He’s forever known as “The Primestar Guy” in our family.
Theo saying the quarter horses are more urban since they run faster for shorter periods of time is priceless
Mike Rowe honestly just seems like he'd be an awesome guy to live near to where you could come home after work and just talk with him because he knows what you've been through.
