Funny I’m listening to this and think man he’s got an amazing voice for narration and then silly me.. he’s been narrating shows I’ve watched forever now. Long live the Rowe. He’s such a great story teller
I knew a guy who did the deep sea fishing and he said you get suicidal after so many days at sea, as far as the 3 month voyages. No cell phone service, no family around, sea sickness.. brutal stuff
We need more gender equality in Crab Fishing. It is so SEXIST that only men are in that career. Strong, independent women DESERVE to be given these opportunities too!
While I worked in Alaska there was ONE girl on a crab boat. Out of maybe thirty boats that I worked with. And she was a family member of the captain, that was filling in for an injured deckhand.
PBD, yesterday in the podcast you mentioned you had your boys take a video editing course. How cool would it be if they got to piece up these awesome podcasts for you. This was one of my favorite podcasts yesterday. Thank you guys. 🇺🇸👍🏽
Mike a legend frl. Crazy this was the first excursion on his road to dirty jobs. Legit first guys he met out there happened to be some of the funerals he went too. 6! Even if he attended a couple that’s crazy. This is the price of discovering something that happens to taste good for us. Good on ya crab men 💪🏻❤️
Mike Rowe is actually incorrect. There were a few attempts to document crab fishing in the bearing sea before deadliest catch. There's a few videos on youtube back from 1999 aboard the fierce alliegance. Tony was still deck boss back then. There was also 3 or 4 episodes featuring the erla N and Billikin a year or two before deadliest catch. Crab fishing is a lot safer now a days though. Still high injury rate but they dont have the same system for crab fishing anymore. It went from derby days to a quota system. Many of the smaller boats sold out their quota's to the bigger boats. Fleet was reduced from 200-60ish currently.

First of all I'm a big fan of Mike and all of his shows. Now- let me ask a few obvious questions ; don't you think that the injury and possibly the mortality rate would drop, maybe just a little, if these guys just wore some safety equipment including hard hats, not the kind your thinking about , I'm talking about the modern fire fighting type helmets that look a little like bike racing helmets, (these types of helmets also cover the sides of the head) , a radio inside the helmets so there is proper communications between crew members and the captain, automatic inflating life vests, emergency locater transmitters (which about the size of a cell phone) a strobe light and then hired just a few more crew members to work shifts to cut down on the fatigue level. Don't you think that this would help? Please don't try to even say that this would be too expensive to outfit these guys with this safety equipment, the average fire fighter in this country is outfitted with equipment that costs at least twice as much as the above listed items ( and may I also note that this equipment is all old technology). I'm not a fan of any federal government regulation at all but I can't figure out how O.S.H.A. hasn't gotten involved in the fishing industry by now. This is the same O.S.H.A. that would fine a roofing company thousands of dollars because the roofers ladder wasn't tied off to a building, or god help the construction worker who isn't wearing a hardhat at a building site! Just saying....
It might be one of the most important jobs, but bending at the back to put dvds into dvd players in your pjs is not the hardest job. Sending the kid ls to bed on some Trumped up charges to drink wine watching the price is right is not the hardest job.
I've been nearly killed 3 times in 9 years commercial fishing only managed to crush the end of my finger though for an injury. The mental aspect of living on a boat for 6-8 weeks is the worst though.
What I can't decide is would it be better to support these guys so they can make their living more quickly and get the hell off the water by eating every crab leg I see. Or never touch another crab leg because I don't want to be party to their pain and suffering?
I loved this show until they really did start faking issues and or injuries to make “more exciting tv”. They should have just left it raw, if something did happen it did or didn’t. Have always love Mike narrating it though
Your right. But there are thousands of more truck drivers on the road. So you have to pretend that the same # of people are working each job type to compare them the way he is.
@@ahitch3681 Try over 3 million truck drivers. Truck drivers that are on the road, and away from their families for a minimum of 330 days out of the year.
Mike Rowe always delivers and is an excellent storyteller.
Mike Rowe is a national treasure. And such a legendary voice aswell
He is just another Nazi. You will all end up in a gulag.
Mike Rowe is the man. Nice job PBD

They don’t have internet on there? I don’t see why they can’t just have that type of stuff on a boat like they would a plane
I used to work on board. SOME boats have Wi-Fi. Spotty at best. There’s better service in the air than on the ocean brotha.
Theres Elon musk now, every boat has high speed internet

Wow
I’m pretty sure 90 percent of men won’t do that job and I’m pretty sure you wouldn’t so shut up
Lmao
My girlfriend lol’ed at this. There’s a lot of women who see how BS modern feminism is lmao.

I demand women have equal representation in crab fishing!
Love how this podcast has grown.
And me thiking about giving it a shot.... Pass!
Love to hear Mike. The operative word is real.
1000 construction workers die every year folks. 78,000 injuries per year
see my response above-
I don't know where you came up with a thousand but that seems low
Boy he can build a story ,hes great at what he does
Maybe the X Twitter employees can get a job crab fishing... 😄 🤣 😂 😆
Learn to code is now learn to fish.

Everybody knows the most dangerous job in America is being a rapper
Mike Rowe is smarter than everyone else in that room combined.
Mike Rowe is one of about a dozen people in Hollywood that's worth a sh*t.

They also make good money
They must, otherwise no one in their right mind would do it.
Mike Rowe... nice catch and no pun intended. Sort of.
And yet they say "Being a mom is the hardest job in the world."

In honor of The Deadliest Catch. I’m going to listen to “Dead or Alive” by Bon Jovi after this.
I think the artist is actually Bon Jovi but who really cares... ;)

The most dangerous occupation for WOMEN in terms of injuries is topless accordion players.
This really doesn't surprise me. I read years ago that commercial fishing is the most dangerous job in the world.
I've been nearly killed 3 times in 9 years commercial fishing only managed to crush the end of my finger though for an injury. The mental aspect of living on a boat for 6-8 weeks is the worst though.

To be honest. More truck drivers die in a week than crab fishermen.

Try over 3 million truck drivers. Truck drivers that are on the road, and away from their families for a minimum of 330 days out of the year.
@@jesteravrgjoe2888 and that huge number underscores the point that truck driving is a relatively low risk job.
