Hi Nicole Did you find what you needed. (if you need to find anything you can't do better then Laurann she knows where everything is here in the mudroom).

christina

Yes, thank you to Laurann. Sorry, I didn't mean to appear rude, I was distracted by Lisa's wenis.

Nicole

No problem, Nicole. Lisa's wenis is, well, probably one of a kind.

Glad I could help, Christina.

Have a great weekend ladies!

Laurann

Hi Christina, hope you are getting some sleep! Thanks for the shark week clips - I have never seen them before. Thanks again for digging up the old posts - very fun to read!

susan

I still can't sleep

I don't know who is responsible for the pop-up thing. My Apple seems to block such annoyances, but no matter. I have contacted my friend Floyd, the crawfish guy from Louisiana. He has agreed, with Rad the Hot Tar Roofer, to track down the offending party and dispose of him/her in the Atchafalya Swamp.

I do not know if this will remedy the problem, but it should make you feel better.

Karen,

Your reference to old friends, former jobs, and late night hyjinks almost makes me pine for the good old days of unsupervised home shopping.

Almost.

As you rightly surmise, my career choices continue to suggest a conspicious lack of common sense, or perhaps a subtle self-loathing. Oh well. If Dirty Jobs doesn't scare some perspective into me, nothing will.

Great to hear from you. Hope you are well.

You and your husband intrigue me. Perhaps one day, we'll have a forum where alligator-sexing inspired stories can be told without the heavy hand of network censorship. Till then, please tell your son that I appreciate his loyalty. And when he's old enough to understand, please tell him that no one truly becomes a real person until they appear on The Tony Danza Show.

Part of the reason I've been scarce around here lately is due to QVC. I've written a few articles and essays about those days, and decided, based on partially on those clips, to expand them further. It was a hell of a time, as my old journals confirm. One day, I hope to share the stories here. For now, I'm busy writing them.

When I got to the site that morning, several of the guys were wearing that identical hat. The temperature at 8am, was 91 degrees. It topped out later at 108, and I was told that everyone working in the sun would be wearing the same lid. Naturally, I was being lied to, but didn't realize it till we had shot several tapes. At that point, I was married to the thing, and just went with it.

Truth is, I stopped caring about appearances the day I started this gig. What can I tell you? Somedays, I'm an old woman in a garden.

Hi Bashful, (my favorite dwarf)

1.At what age did you first read the Travis McGee books? I wonder if McGee’s philosophy informed your decision to pursue arts and television which are by nature episodic thus allowing for periodic retirement.

It's true. I'm in this business because of a fictional character. The prospect of an early retirement plan based on periodic installments was irresistible to me. I lacked McGee's skills, but wanted to use the ones I had to live a life with that kind of freedom. I was simply enamored of free time, and sickened by the prospect of working because I had no choice. I realized in a hurry that most people in this industry are either motivated by the dream of steady work, and the trappings that come with it, or following their passion. I am a fan of neither, and came to suspect that a guy who cared very little for such things might have an opportunity to take the reverse commute, make a decent living, and still keep 6 months a year to himself. On that score, I was right. I read The Deep Blue Goodbye in 1984. Ten years later, after being escorted from QVC headquarters for the final time, I reread the entire series, and committed myself to a career of short-term engagements. Obviously, I have lapsed.

2. George Bernard Shaw wrote “Life isn’t about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.” Did you set out to create – to be – a well rounded, smart and charming person? Intentionally pursue singing lessons, veracious reading, Italian or other languages, and continuously exercising the muscle of writing….or were you just born this way? Merely making the most of the gifts you were given...finding and polishing each skill."

I think Shaw is being a little glib with that one. We've already been created. That was the hard part, and the real pressure is off. All we have to do now, is not wreck it. My recipe for doing so involves a conscious decision to have as much fun as possible while doing things that don't come easy. My most rewarding pursuits have all resulted in some level of failure.

3. Question which has puzzled me for years and I’d love to hear your thoughts since you are smart with an amazing ability to recall quotes, tunes, titles and names. Are memory and intellect mutually inclusive? Can a person be an intellectual without a great memory for details and numbers? Can a person with a great memory still lack mental sharpness?[/quote]

I’d be wary of intellectuals. I’ve known a few, and never really liked them. Can’t remember why…

As a practical matter, forgetting something and not knowing something aren't much different. Either way leaves you looking stupid. Most intelligence tests are really memory tests. I think that memory can improved upon in ways that other indicators of intelligence cannot, but it is not, in and of itself, a mark of genius. I have a friend with a near photographic memory who has done more idiotic things than anyone I know. (At least he'll remember his stupidity in vivid detail.) I see memory as a guidance system, like a GPS on a plane. Without it, the most sophisticated plane ever built will never get anywhere. But a great GPS on a crappy plane will not save you from crashing.

I might suggest, humbly, that a better distinction could be drawn between memory/intelligence vs. wisdom. Wisdom is the thing to aspire to, and is in my opinion, a combination of intelligence, instinct, courage, common sense, experience, and humility. In no particular order.

Welcome to the board.

Santa

Absolutely. Memoirs are most definitely on the list.

Posted 05-14-06 03:21 PM


Hi Kevin

Great question. The short answer is yes – I get frustrated all of the time, and a big part of my job on the show is to share that frustration with the viewer. Here’s the long answer.

It's really critical that each segment of Dirty Jobs illustrate a measure of genuine difficulty or challenge, and it really doesn't matter where or how it presents itself. As I’ve said here before, the best way to appreciate the skills of a trained professional with a dirty job is to put him or her shoulder to shoulder with a rank amateur. Not a moron, but a reasonably intelligent, untrained, rookie. The viewer will see the contrast, and appreciate the worker all the more. At base, that’s the only way to pay an honest tribute. However, that pairing will usually lead to some kind of aggravating circumstance.

Usually, the frustration seen on the show is mine alone, and results from my failure to master the task at hand. Sometimes however, people get impatient or uncomfortable with the actual process of making television. Believe me, if you’re not used to it, and even if you are, it can be a maddening and time-consuming nuisance. In fact, I would say that many of my “bosses” on the show get as frustrated with what I do, as I am with what they do. The difference is, they usually try to hide their exasperation, and I do not.

Others though, are not so self-aware. And some, the really good ones, just don’t give a damn – they are incapable of being anyone but themselves, cameras or no cameras. Mudbug Floyd, Bill Bretherton, Don the Plumber, Renee the Fish Gutter, Rod the Roofer – they were all frustrated at some point in the day, and that annoyance, like my own, was genuine. It’s no coincidence that their segments are the best.

Mike

PS. There’s a great story about Dan’s toenails, but I’m sworn to secrecy.

I did get nearly 6 hours of sleep to day (I slept from 6 am till noon) that is the most I have gotten in days.

Hi Christina,

I feel your pain on the insomnia. Benadryl works for me. Doesn't seem to be habit forming.

Thanks again for the posts. Bashful is his favorite - isn't he the sweetest? - Mike I mean - not Bashful. Well, I guess so is Bashful. I'm rambling. I'll go now.

lack of sleep I can't think of a post for now but maybe be later

I know Mike read this thread up to page 7, but I wonder if he has read any further then that. just wondering

I'm working on it I should have another post later

chris

Finally a new post for you I hope you enjoy it.


Hi Lisa

You're welcome.

To date, I've completed well over 50 Dirty Jobs. I can barely remember them, much less rank them. Later, when the series is ultimately cancelled for some obscure OSHA violation, I'll dig out my journal and write a book.

Mike

Posted 09-30-05 12:31 AM

True, I am occasionally slippery. Apologies.

Here's the thing about writing - I like it because it's one of the very few activities that can warp time. For me, time becomes compressed when I immerse myself in the process of writing. It could be a short a story, an essay, or a journal entry - it really doesn't matter. There have been times when I sat down at noon to knock off a few paragraphs, and glanced up a few minutes later to see it was dark. Anything that can make time do that is interesting to me, and probably worth pursuing. It does not however, mean that I'm any good at it.

Reading on the other hand, pleases me in a totally different way. In fact, I've always wondered why reading and writing are so often mentioned in the same breath, because they feel like such different experiences to me. Regardless, the answer to you question is this -

I wish I had written -
The Catcher in the Rye
All Creatures Great and Small
Side Effects
A Deadly Shade of Gold
A Prayer for Owen Meany

Re: the starving artist thing. I may have sounded a bit strident and cynical, and really don't mean to. But I'm a little weary of "inspirational" stories that center around famous people who have achieved great success after struggling and paying their dues. The motive of such tales may be to inspire, and I know for a fact that they do. However, they can just as easily enable and/or prolong a lot of unrealistic pie-in-the-sky hope.

Living in New York, I was part of a close group of aspiring actors who took great comfort from the story of Bruce Willis, who was often cited as an overnight sensation. Willis had in fact worked many survival jobs tending bar years before he hit with Moonlighting. Such stories, including Steven King's, are common - but only among those who have succeeded. What message do they send the vast, overwhelming majority of struggling performers who will never come close to realizing their dream? To stick it out at all cost?

Knowing when to leave the party is more important than knowing when to show up. How many of us, in hindsight, wish we had quit a bad job sooner, or ended a bad relationship earlier? I sure do. And when I consider the tens of thousands of hopeful artists who are doggedly staying the course, and stubbornly ignoring the endless signals that would cause any objective person in any other business to explore new opportunities, I can't help but be reminded of a gambler who isn't winning, but refuses to leave the casino because he has already invested so much time and money.

I'm with Jana. Starving for art would be more legitimate if Art never paid off. That way, the starvee could never be accused of doing something mercenary. But the truth is, The Arts, like the slot machine, pay off just often enough to keep thousands clinging to stories of success and fame.

As I said before, it's not for me to question the motives of anyone else, or the thing that ultimately makes them happy. But bliss is fickle, and a dangerous thing to follow.

Mike

Hi Laurie

Much of what happened at QVC 15 years has been blocked from memory, blessedly, but I remember you well. According to my journal, (and some well-preserved VHS tape I keep locked away,) those overnight shifts were benchmarks in broadcasting, and should be carefully preserved as examples of what can happen if you ask a sleep deprived actor to sell collectable dolls on live television with no time delay.

Are you still there? If so, please offer my best to anyone still in the trench, and a general apology to management.

Mike

PS. Of all the jobs, QVC is still the dirtiest...

Posted 07-05-05 11:40 AM

I used to seriously consider writing for TV, but never got around to it. I have written various things for various publications, but nothing for television.

I am however, the same Mike Rowe who went to Egypt for Discovery. IMBD just got it wrong.

Posted 06-09-07 07:28 PM

It's a good, but tricky question. It implies that there are only two ways to write, and I'm not sure I agree with that. Sure, there are times when I ruminate, and times when I type as fast as I can think and post without spell checking. But usually, it's somewhere in between.

Writing for me is a lot like talking, and talking has a lot of shades. Here, I try to keep it balanced, and honest. Usually thoughtful, sometimes silly.

As for the voices I "hear," when I read your posts, not so much. With frequent posters, I find myself unable to not form a mental picture. I doubt they are accurate, and will not elaborate.

Regarding spewing, it happens all the time. I wouldn't be here otherwise.

Mike

Posted 05-06-07 01:47 AM


Hi Gail

The short answer has to do with the fact that I can't have it both ways. For a while, I thought I could, but not any more. Dirty Jobs is no longer a hobby or a lark or an indulgence - it's a big business, and financially important to a lot of people other than Mike Rowe. It also takes more time and energy than I care to expend.

My ideal scenario involves delivering a modest number of Dirty Jobs over several years, spending no more that 5-6 months a year in casual production, and devoting the rest of my time to growing grapes and writing essays on my fictitious cottage in Napa. Alas, that is not an option. The business of delivering this show requires more episodes and more of my time than my ideal scenario allows. I simply can't bully the network into ordering a number of episodes convenient to my schedule. The business doesn't work like that. My options therefore, come down to this.

1. Quit now, while I'm alive and ahead, and go back to my old life.

2. Make the kind of deal that allows me to justify spending another year away from that which matters most. Explore the possibilities. Expand.

In other words Gail, if I "disdain" it, I walk away from all of it.
To stay, I must "entertain" it, and find a way to make another year worth the personal price. I won't know until I ask around and see what's possible, but all things considered, I figure it's worth investigating. In spite of what my current resume may suggest, I hate quitting.

It's probably not appropriate for me to share any more detail than that, but the question deserves an honest answer. All of us, at one time or another, are faced with an issue at work that requires us to adjust in a way that might not be comfortable. For what it's worth, I'm not immune to that. None of us are.

Mike

Posted 05-06-07 11:36 PM


Good question. We knew that the title would limit the number of people who would be willing to initially participate. But the truth is, I don't really want people who are super eager to be on TV - I want people who are proud and happy to be doing what they're doing, but not overly anxious to brag about it. And I definitely don't want people who are ashamed of the dirt.

It's a fine line though, because dirty jobs, by definition, are finite, and we have been turned away by a few companies that we would have loved to put on the show. In time though, I think the program will speak for itself, and people will realize that these segments are really tributes to men and women who do difficult work. By then, the title won't matter.

You also make a good point about acknowledging the practical importance of the job being featured, and the consequences we'd all endure if the work was not getting done. That was a big part of the earlier episodes, and I'm not sure why we've drifted from it.

As for my personal experiences resulting from Dirty Jobs, believe me, I could write a book. Perhaps I will.

Thanks for watching
Mike

Hope everyone is having a nice day

Hi Christina,
You must be very proud of your daughter. Is she staying within the province to go to University?
She will probably qualify for scholarships....make sure you have her apply for every one she can, because you never know....there's a lot of scholarship/bursary money out there that doesn't get awarded sometimes because no one applies.

Thanks for your hard work finding the old posts. I read some things in your last ones I had never read before.

grasshopper
...say Hi to Cory...okay, talk to you later!

Hi Meaghan

We are proud of her and she is staying at home to complete university. But after everything was going so well for her, tonight we had to take our 8 year old cat (Fizzbee) to the vets. We had to have him put down, it was so sudden. it is very depressing for the whole family we had him since he was 3 weeks old and everyone is very sad.

chris

I will probably not be around for a few day

Oh Christina, how very sad. Losing a pet is always hard. My daughter's cat recently died from cancer.
It is amazing how these small creatures come into our lives, basically do absolutely nothing for us and yet their passing leaves such a large void.
Well take care of yourselves and again I'm so sorry about your cat.

I am so sorry you lost your beloved pet . I know you did what was best ,but it is hard . Soon you will be comforted by your good memories.For now we will cry with you.

Genevieve
Posted 09-21-05 04:23 PM


Dear Melbapup

You fascinate me.

It gratifies me to know that a collector of comic books and vintage dresses is also able to help promulgate the species. And while I will seriously consider the offer of accepting your children as incentive to marry into your family, I am afraid your sister and I would fall short in providing the kind of classic parenting that your children currently enjoy.

I will however, accept the the comic books. Please have your sister deliver them, to me, at a time and place of my attorney's choosing. He will contact you discreetly.

Mike
Posted 09-24-05 12:30 PM


Dear Mike,

Unfortunately my sister backed out of the deal. It was the “classic parenting” comment. She thought it was insulting, whereas I thought it was just more witty banter in a long line of your witticisms. Lucky for you I have three sisters of which only one is married and THIS one lives on the west coast.

Now that the plans have changed...

Please have your lawyer meet my sister at Sequoia National Forest (third Sequoia on the left past the bubbling brook)

Please have him wear an Orioles cap and a shirt reading “I’ve got a lovely bunch of coconuts.”

She’ll bring the comics.

What would you like for starters? Thor? X-Men? Iron Man? Or, are you a DC comics man.


We usually do Secret Santa for Christmas since there are so many of us, but you can just get me a Barnes & Noble gift certificate. Now that we're practically related, can I talk about you on my blog?

Hi Mike,
WILL YOU MARRY ME?

I'm a chubby widow living in Austin, TX.

I love your sense of humor and we have much in common as far as music and movies goes.

I'm a few years older than you, but you know what they say about older women. (Call me and I'll tell you...what the heck, I'll tell you now.)
As a matter of fact, it's a country song...OLDER WOMEN MAKE BEAUTIFUL LOVERS.

Love you, love the show, love you!!!!

Hi. I love you even tho I don't even know you & I'll just die if you don't send well wishes to my sick mother, say hi to my daughter,drop by & have a beer with my brother, & send me a dirty picture of you. I'll marry you tomorrow if you'll just call me @ 1-800-SARCASM.---Love, Lou
