Mike, if you read any of this stuff. I want to thank you for your dirty jobs effort, hanging off of that hydroelectric turbine was probably the most daring lesson in safety and jacked up confined spaces. I grew up like you with uncles and a grandfather that could fix anything, when I was 34 I watched them tear down the industrial arts wing on my high school as they upgraded the parking lot and football field bleachers. You are the true meaning of a well driven American with a good nonsense filter.
I attended Vo-Tech to earn my CNA, Medication Aide Certification, EMT training, and although I worked as an MA before leaving the medical field, the surgeons I worked for "grandfathered" me for the position because of my many years of hands on care giving. In their opinions, my experience can not be taught and therefore was advantageous for them and for our patients. When my Doc's decided to retire 7 years ago, I was 50 at the time; I chose to go back to school. I went to cosmetology school, which is considered a trade school, passed my state written and practical boards, earned my license and opened my own small salon. I'm the sole Proprietor and Stylist. It's just a different way of helping people. You will never see a surgeon clean, disinfect, sanitize and make an operating room aseptic so the next person to have surgery in that OR doesn't contract an infection during surgery. That job is solely the janitorial/custodial staff's responsibility because they have the necessary knowledge, skills and experience to do so. You never see a janitor perform surgery because they lack the necessary education, knowledge skill and experience. The job of the surgeon and the janitor/custodian are equally important, equally necessary, just for very different reasons. HVAC, plumbers, electricians, auto repair, auto body, etc are all worthy career paths, all are taught at vocational/trade schools. Why isn't there any student loan forgiveness for that? Thanks Mike! ~ APRIL LIPKE
I know I am not alone when I say, Mike, we love you whether you are singing opera (secretly dying to hear it, Wagner, are you kidding?) or covered in muck (seriously can't get enough of your wit on Dirty Jobs). How the hell do these images go together? I got nothing. I guess that makes you unique.
That's kind of jive talk about why they aren't going to foreign lands to film the show because we are really connected to them-- those are the batteries, the ships, the computers that WE USE HERE and they are the ones who have to take them apart and suffer the consequences of their exposure. Good job though. I think the setup was poorly executed because MR works extremely well in a back and forth, one on one, environment, but I loved every minute of this one. Thanks Reddit!
That first question's answer is the very reason I like Mike Rowe! This dude is so awesome it's not even funny! Allthough a lot of what he says IS very funny. lmao!
"I don't disbelieve it, necessarily, but you said it with a level of certainty that made me think that perhaps there had been some scientific breakthrough.." hahahahahahaha
Should have just explained how simple and pointless karma is and clarified it has nothing to do with the concept of Karma, real or not... lol. The guy explaining made it seem like karma was an accurate gauge of character quality, post quality, originality... gimme a break, lol. It's just a popularity contest run through reddit's beloved little karma algorithm, not a true accurate gauge of anything.
Jesus. VOTES. Just say Karma is basically upvotes. If someone likes your shit, they vote you up. If a lot of people like your shit, a lot of people vote you up.
I lol'd when he got confused about karma.
gotta love this guy
This guy's such a good story teller.
I suppose it helps that he has good stories to tell.

He has such an amazing natural voice it's hard to imagine him not getting a gig in opera. On the other hand the opera thing is ballsy as hell.

I love you, Mike. You're my hero. Thanks for being.

His sarcasm is what makes this video gold! My kind of guy, haha
I could listen to his voice all day.
Awesome stuff as always Mr Rowe. Please come back to Australia soon. So many dirty jobs and weird stuff in this country.

Awesome. Best Reddit interview yet! :D
That first question's answer is the very reason I like Mike Rowe! This dude is so awesome it's not even funny! Allthough a lot of what he says IS very funny. lmao!

Mike Rowe...you are a true Renaissance Man...and completely awesome! I would LOVE to hear you singing in my ear...or whatever...
Awesome. Opera? I didn't know this. Liking part one. On to part 2.
Mike row is witty. Consider this my upvote of the video.
Mike Rowe, great choice Reddit. Yeah, I'll watch this one, even if you did divide it into 5 parts.
LOL I love how he rips on the 'karma'.
i love this guy....my man!!
"on the karma scale, this question is kinda lame.. we'll see"
I LOVE MIKE ROWE :)
Lol oh that was funny with the karma bit
your opera voice is wonderful!
Forget Morgan Freeman, I want Mike Rowe to narrate my life.
"I don't disbelieve it, necessarily, but you said it with a level of certainty that made me think that perhaps there had been some scientific breakthrough.." hahahahahahaha
he could talk about paint drying and id fuckin watch every second.
i'd upvote for you
hahahaha he is awesome, im going to have watch his show
+Chillin Dylan It's amazing.
He has got this dry. dark sarcastic kind of humor that makes me think that he really didn't want to do this interview.
You should do a dirty jobs where you work at an old folks home changing involids diapers.
I didn't know he sang opera. That's cool
+Roshan Thomas It's not just a coincidence he has an amazing voice even when just speaking, lol.
Fact: Mike Rowe has boinked the entire opera industry.
Is Mike Row a regular of Reddit?
Awesome
On dirty jobs have you ever had to clean out jizm booths?
martin bishop.... from "sneakers"
Not really. I've done many many shoots like this and it's really not much work at all.
there's 5 parts.
lol @ karma discussion.
When I die the only person I want by my bedside is Mike Rowe.
balmore hon!
I just want to know who the four people were that didn't like this video.
Good thing he called his site Mike Rowe Works. Would be funny if he made software and would call it Mike Rowe Soft...
you'll be a happy smilin' karma dude
Anybody thought it was the the guy from 127h
Sponge Lundiiz I thought it was Ernest P. Worrell.
given that he didn't know what the karma score was, probably not.
gah hes cool
hahaha I'm dying.
Snoo...I want a Snoo!
Mike has impregnated more woman with the sound of his voice then any human in human,
Reddit alien is called "Snoo"
Is that a narwhal to the left?
All men should have this voice. Mmm.

How hard would it have been to set up at least ONE light?!
Jesus. VOTES. Just say Karma is basically upvotes. If someone likes your shit, they vote you up. If a lot of people like your shit, a lot of people vote you up.
Why did he not explain karma better? What an awful explanation.
It doesn't look bad. Maybe they wanted it to look like that. Anyway, who cares?
Too much work.
Forget this guy. Take Women's Studies & tune in to Feminist Frequency. Totally more worth your time.
