Home Actor Mike Rowe HD Instagram Photos and Wallpapers January 2023 Mike Rowe Instagram - Mike – Absolutely LOVING the new episodes of Dirty Jobs. Love seeing you rolling up your sleeves and still getting in there. Was curious though – you kinda pussed out on the Carolina Reaper thing. How come you didn’t try the hottest pepper ever made? In the old days, you would have eaten one. Still love ya! - Pat Lawhon Hi Pat, To be honest, my intention on that day was to eat whatever Ed put in front of me. I wasn’t looking forward to it, because frankly, I don’t really enjoy super spicy food. I like a little heat with my carbonara, and maybe a little Tabasco on my eggs, but I don’t understand the current obsession with swallowing the hottest peppers on the planet just to say, “I did it!” as sweat, tears, and snot stream down my face. But still, I was game, and I went to Puckerbutt with every intention of chowing down on a ghost pepper, or a Carolina Reaper, or a mouthful of Napalm, or whatever Smokin’ Ed Currie put in front of me. However - and I know this sounds lame - I had a prior engagement that turned out to be completely incompatible with swallowing peppers that ranked 4 million on the Scoville scale. Specifically, I was scheduled to fly to Nashville that night, and record a song with John Rich early the next morning.  When I shared this with Ed’s partners and employees, Ed’s own people warned me NOT to eat the super-hot stuff. I’m not exaggerating. Off camera, they said, “Ed will light you up. Do NOT go toe to toe with Ed Currie. He’s immune to the pain.” One guy pulled me aside and said, “Seriously man, “this sh@t will f@*k you up for DAYS! – Do NOT eat the Ghost Pepper!”  And so, I didn’t. Perhaps it was a pussy move, but I felt like I’d made a promise to John Rich, and if those godforsaken scrotum-shaped gasoline bombs had in fact rendered me speechless, I’d have no one to blame but myself, and the world would have been denied the feel-good hit of the season, "Santa’s Gotta Dirty Job." So, Zach Hall stepped in, and thank God he did. The Ghost Pepper messed him up for at least 36 hours. Have Yourselves a Happy and a Spicy New Year! PS There's a new episode Sunday night on Discovery. 8pm. It's very, very dirty. . . #DirtyJobs @Discovery

Hi Pat,

To be honest, my intention on that day was to eat whatever Ed put in front of me. I wasn’t looking forward to it, because frankly, I don’t really enjoy super spicy food. I like a little heat with my carbonara, and maybe a little Tabasco on my eggs, but I don’t understand the current obsession with swallowing the hottest peppers on the planet just to say, “I did it!” as sweat, tears, and snot stream down my face. But still, I was game, and I went to Puckerbutt with every intention of chowing down on a ghost pepper, or a Carolina Reaper, or a mouthful of Napalm, or whatever Smokin’ Ed Currie put in front of me. However – and I know this sounds lame – I had a prior engagement that turned out to be completely incompatible with swallowing peppers that ranked 4 million on the Scoville scale. Specifically, I was scheduled to fly to Nashville that night, and record a song with John Rich early the next morning. 

When I shared this with Ed’s partners and employees, Ed’s own people warned me NOT to eat the super-hot stuff. I’m not exaggerating. Off camera, they said, “Ed will light you up. Do NOT go toe to toe with Ed Currie. He’s immune to the pain.” One guy pulled me aside and said, “Seriously man, “this sh@t will f@*k you up for DAYS! – Do NOT eat the Ghost Pepper!”  And so, I didn’t. Perhaps it was a pussy move, but I felt like I’d made a promise to John Rich, and if those godforsaken scrotum-shaped gasoline bombs had in fact rendered me speechless, I’d have no one to blame but myself, and the world would have been denied the feel-good hit of the season, “Santa’s Gotta Dirty Job.” So, Zach Hall stepped in, and thank God he did. The Ghost Pepper messed him up for at least 36 hours.

Have Yourselves a Happy and a Spicy New Year!

#DirtyJobs @Discovery | Posted on 01/Jan/2023 00:20:38

Mike Rowe Instagram – According to my cable guide, which is sometimes accurate, Dirty Jobs with Mike Rowe is on Discovery for eighteen of the next twenty-four hours. Bias aside, I can’t think of a better way to ring in the new year than with a gentle reminder of what it looks like to work in places that don’t offer catered meals, meditations booths, manicured campuses, interactive walking trails, foosball, cornhole, red wine on tap, and yoga studios for their employees.

Our country is in the midst of redefining what it means to work for a living, and for a lot of people, this is it. This is their wish-fulfillment. To be taken care of. To be catered to. And to be fair, who can blame them? They are snowflakes, for sure, but we are the clouds from which the snowflakes fell. And many companies today are so desperate to attract workers, they’ll do whatever it takes to please them. I doubt that many have gone as far as the tech giants here in California, but these videos are real, and there are many others like them. Videos posted by employees that celebrate the opposite of ambition. The opposite of adversity. The opposite of discomfort. The opposite of work ethic.

Again, bias notwithstanding, thank God shows like #DirtyJobs and #DeadliestCatch and How America Works are out there, to introduce Americans to that part of our workforce keeps the lights on and the bridges standing and the crap flowing in the right direction. My advice on New Year’s Day, especially if you have kids in the house, is to watch Dirty Jobs and see what kind of conversation might ensue. Whatever the outcome, it’s a conversation worth having.

Meanwhile, there’s a new episode tonight at 8pm, and it’s awesome. The first job is “Pile-Jacketer”, and it’s a back breaker. The second is my day with “Concrete-Cleaner,” and it’s a ball-buster. More on both of those adventures later. Great guys doing essential work with lots of laughs, tonight at 8pm on @Discovery.

Happy New Year!
Mike Rowe Instagram – We’re taking the week off, sort of.

The Way I Heard It will return next week with a brand new episode, and with a little luck, another new one every week after that for years to come. I’m delighted to report that we are now rated consistently among the Top 200 podcasts in the world. Some weeks, in the Top 100. Considering there are nearly 3 million podcasts out there, I reckon that puts us in the top 0.000006%.

I want to thank the listeners for coming along on a very unpredictable ride, as we navigate this very weird landscape. It’s a pleasure and a privilege to have an audience, especially nowadays, and I promise to never take you for granted, or charge you a subscription fee to listen. Big thanks as well to my old buddy Chuck, for continuing to impersonate a producer, Ross, for being an actual engineer, Jade, for keeping an eye on the bottom line, and Mary, for keeping an eye on Chuck. And of course, a big thanks to everyone at audioBoom and all of our sponsors, to whom the attached is dedicated. See you all next year!
