This is a wonderful podcast. It always makes me laugh out loud. I highly recommend it if you would like to learn some thing and feel happy doing it.

Your show can’t get much better than this. Thank-you for bringing us this story.

This is so emotional for me. I appreciate the sacrifice of Clint and all of his comrades. I appreciate his dedication, his outlook and his worldview. I am so completely disappointed in the elite leadership of our country who have absolutely no real investment in our nation and I’m putting it lightly. It is sickening! They are not great Americans and never will be. Clinton Romesha is a great American, as are those with whom he served.

I loved the Dan Carlin one, but the audio stopped before it was over. I was glad to have the transcript to finish though. Hope it gets fixed!

Love your discussions. Mike always brings a different perspective. And he does it as an amazing storyteller. I love eavesdropping on intelligent back to basics conversations.

I love listening to Mike and Chuck interview interesting guests. I have made 4 purchases based on the advertising and interviews. American Giant, LifeVac and Montana Knife Company, Angle Studios. I never fast forward commercials that Mike or Chuck narrate. The others annoy me.

I just love everything about Mike Rowe and this podcast is no exception! Wonderful and insightful storytelling. Mike has a way with words that grabs your attention and allows you to visualize the story. Interesting, educational, and entertaining!

Sooo because your lovely song asked for a 5 star rating. Plus you all make me laugh out loud at work all the time.

Wow! He had me crying! Thank you for sharing his story!

We raised our sons on a belief that military service was an honorable career, but to be honest, by the end of my husband’s 20-year career, he was praying they would opt in a different direction. It was early in the 2000s, and the writing was already on the wall—top military leadership was showing the cracks. We could mention all the still-great people there, but the main point was that we didn’t want our sons to be fodder for a machine that was demonstrably breaking down. Nevertheless, in a generations-long tradition, one after the other, our sons enlisted. And we were proud and supported them in their choice. They have both been, and continue to be, abused by the leadership they swore to uphold. We are all disillusioned. Patriotism is still high over here in our epistemological build, but respect for leadership has drained to nil. One son, after 17 years of service filled with loss of brothers on the field and blood on the line, was discharged for declining the Covid vaccine for himself and his family. His leadership abandoned him. The courts declared it was actually unconstitutional to paste the conscientious objectors with a dishonorable discharge, so at least there’s that—just an ordinary discharge, three years short of a full retirement and loss of all benefits. His marriage dissolved amidst the abuse (I’m not overstating here—they punished him for standing for body-sovereignty against an untested, potentially harmful mandate) the Army subjected him to during the last stint of his obligation. While his wife agreed with his stance on the jab whole-heartedly, the ensuing debacle of trying to get the Army to live up to their obligations while he was still serving proved too much for their union. Our second son has followed behind his brother and played the game with a bit more finesse, but he still suffers under poor leadership. The way in which top leadership ultimately betrayed the men and women who served under them still boggles our minds. While my husband saw cracks early on, even he would never have imagined the depths to which they would sink under burdens of CRT and DEI. That they would buy into it at the service members’ expense, ultimately the country’s detriment—it’s…well…disgusting. Gross. And for what? How did we lose them this hard? Pete—if not Hegseths, WHO? I mean—that’s how we Masons felt—still feel—but hopefully we’ll overcome this pathetic weak-mindedness as a nation before your children are tossed into the grinder. My heart breaks. I’ll be purchasing and reading your book—I don’t think I can get any angrier.

Always intertaining.

Despite fame and despite great success, Mike continues to be someone that people simply can relate to. Truly genuine. Truly caring. Authentic America. Well worth every episode.

This is the only podcast that I regularly check to see if there are or any new recordings. I love the mix of optimism, humor, and the persistent encouragement to improve ourselves, our careers, and our country!

Thank you. Learned something new about JC.

Love the show all the time, but having Nathan Fillion (aka Capt. Malcolm Reynolds) was just ear candy! Two of my favorite celebrities on the same podcasts? GLORIOUS! Two intelligent and highly articulate men was just a pleasure to listen to.

Dare I say that this is the best thing since that wonderful program I had the honor of experiencing at about 3 years of age. I continued listening until his show ended. I used to be hushed by my dad when that program came on. My grandfather would say, “be still,” when this program came on.I knew what he meant but I still wondered if it would be ok to talk if I were perfectly still. I didn’t want to talk because it was mesmerizing. Yes, Paul Harvey! I love your longer forma where you review each chapter and then pontificate with a guest or your side-kick. “The way I talked about the way I heard it,” is nice. I am listening to them in reverse order - newest to oldest except on the ones where you suggest to listen to the episode which aired first. May I suggest having an outing with your mom, then your dad, then together? I am sure there will be more gems of those conversations. I would enjoy that immensely and a poll I performed says Many thousands would too. Pause 1001 1002 1003 — Good Day. Oh and tell Nathan Lane that he sounds younger on recordings.

Great show about I interesting people and topics. From one of the great wordsmiths of our time.

👏👏👏 this made my trip home from lower AL to the blue grass state go quickly!! Thanks!!

Hi Mike- I love all your shows and am a faithful listener. I got a cool email from Home Depot today. It was directed toward the active and retired military communities. Apparently they have a Path to Pro program offering free training for a variety of trades. Just an idea for a potential connection with Mike Rowe Works. Hoping you already knew about the program!!

In a world of 10 minute content Mike makes 2 hour chonkers. Often content this long gets repetitive and boring. BUT … Mike’s guests are so compelling and interesting the two hours go by in a flash. As a truck driver I say thank you Mike, both for the stand you take for us working guys, and the interesting entertainment.

Always enjoyable and informative! I truly enjoy your curiosity and deep dive into such a varied amount of topics.

I always learn something positive from this show.

I listen to every episode

Just heard my first with guest Dan Carlin who is already my favorite history podcaster. So many pots they get their hands into, but I’m hanging on to every quip and quibble. Excellent.

Love your show. Keep it up!

Amazing work. Inspiring. Entertaining.

There’s a doctor out in podcast-landia (Dr. Mark Hyman) - who’s also doing what he can to educate people about diet and lifestyle changes. He started the Food Fix Campaign to not only educate people about the linkage between food and health, but also looking at policy reform. It would be GREAT if Mike and Chuck could chat with Dr. Hyman to not only spread the word - as they did with Vinnie, but also get more folks onboard with fixing their health. The food industry is doing much more harm than most people realize.

If I could give you a 10 rating I would!!! Awesome, awesome interview. I wish my son who has worked his a**off with a high school education could talk with this Matt for encouragement. It’s not easy.

Groundworks, with an Employee-Owned business, made a lot of sense and offers a path to get the U.S. on a self-sufficient path. Important and Inspiring.

I really like Mike and this show. But it started out short and has become so long it’s hard to listen to and I enjoy it less.

Hey Chuck. Since you are the only one that read's these I will address you. You are awesome I love what you do please keep doing these. Love the guest you have. Oh. Hey Mike you are pretty cool too. Sean

She’s amazing.

I really enjoyed this episode, 225! I will listen to it again in a day or two. Because you referenced another show, I went home and watched you be interviewed by Chloe. Another thumbs up. You and Chuck make a good team, and Mike you definitely have a gift! Keep up the great work and I’ll keep telling all my friends about this great pod cast!

Great conversation with Kat Timpf!

Favorite podcast. Doesn’t shy away from any topic but does navigate them with intelligence, care and clearly communicated critical thinking.

Good conversations with known and somewhat unknown guests. Always informative and many times enlightening.

I love the honest, intelligent, fun conversations of this podcast! My husband and I love listening together as we walk. Thank you!

Thanks for a great podcast that I anticipate and listen to each week living here in the Middle East . I listen with my kids (when they've captive in the car) and always get a smile and short positive reviews. They like Mike! I pass around the word to other expats as well as fans of Dirty Jobs. Keep up the great work Mike, I'm a barber shop singing fan. Cheers from a Utahan living in the Middle East

I grew up listening to the late great Paul Harvey and the Rest of the Story. This show got me hooked on that format and it morphed into a full length show and it’s amazing. I come back week after week to see who Chuck’s replacement is. I am always excited to learn that he keeps his job week over week. Love the show!

Just found your show and absolutely love it… thanks

Love this show and all others. Keep up great conversations and knowledge coming our way. 🇺🇸🙏😊

Come for the potty humor and innuendo, stay for the barbershop harmony. Along the way you will fall in love with Mike and Chuck and all of their interesting and important guests doing interesting and important things in our interesting and important world. This podcast is the highlight of my week!

It really made my heart grow 3 times❣️. This podcast was a random choice for me since i hadn’t heard of Mr. Sabin. What an epic story that will keep on giving thru the next 5 eons!! I hope we can soon go see his magnificent creation of World War 1. He’s a Patriot of the highest order for what he has accomplished with his art and the messages that he leaves for all to experience. Mr. Sabin has inspired me and lifted my soul. Thank you to his wife & Family for being his strength all these years. You made it possible. Thank you to Mike Rowe & Team too for producing this special podcast. EPIC. JUST EPIC❣️‼️❣️

I had to

Really enjoy Mike’s interviews

Entertaining in formative and yes inspiring!I am screaming so loud inside my heart because that was such a great show! Paul (Saul) on the road to Damascus Hey Chuck can you ask Mike to ask Elon why @SalenaZito is locked out X? Thank you @BadgerSmith7 Never mind it is @ZitoSalena. Please message herso she can update her website. Love the funnycar/arcangel show! @BadgerSmith7 4.9* out of 38,000 I’d like to find those couple of people who did not give 5*And give them an attitude adjustment. this is the best podcast ever. I’m on a mission…from God

I’ve been a huge fan since I was a kid. I instantly became a fan of dirty jobs when I saw you pull the switcheroo on that horse. Thanks for all you do.

I have listened to this podcast since it began. I enjoyed the short form ones and as they began longer format, I have enjoyed them too. However, my favorite part of this show is Mike and Chuck doing the jingles for the ads. Every other podcast I skip through the ads (I get they pay the way for these to exist) but your jingles to these make them fun to listen to, so thank you

Mike is definitely entertaining, but so thoughtful as well. I can hardly wait for each new episode, to find out what interesting person will be sharing their stories and experiences with all of us.

I am an avid listener and appreciate all of the wonderful conversations. I share them with friends and enjoy getting to learn new things and “meet” new people. Today though, something so monumental happened that I had to write my first review. Back in 2012 I studied abroad in Italy and was first introduced to bidets. It wasn’t until today that I learned how they are actually to be used. Thank you for the very informative “toilet talk”.
