I cant be the only person who wished this conversation would never end!?!?
Mike certainly got the "work ethic" gene from his grandfather. The world is in desperate need of more people like Mike. Great episode!
Joshua Cornelius, It’s basically a different story with me. It was a lot of people that helped give me my work ethic.
Frank Castle Is Dead congratulations?
Joshua Cornelius, Nah, I just said that because my life story lines up pretty neatly with Mike Rowe’s, except for that one detail, that’s why I said it.
Man i need help with work ethic. Feels like im at a dead end at 19
did u see his music video about his granddad's whisky? epic
Mike rowe is a man this country doesn't deserve but what we need at this time
Mike Rowe for president.
I spent 13 years in a kitchen and after 13 years I realized I hated working in a kitchen. Also after 13 years cooking I made as much as I did in high school back in the 90's. I am a truck driver ( 3 years) now and I have never been happier. I work 60 to 70 hours a week and go "home" once a month but I am happy at work.
Rowe has been blessed with what "old school", well trained broadcast voices used to sound like.
So pleasant to listen to. Being quite brilliant helps too.
Mike Rowe is just so amazing at articulating these complicated issues in such a straightforward way. I couldn't agree with him more. We need much more of this kind of thinking.
Right. Only thing I really disagreed with is Trump knowing what its like being middle class. Can't believe people fall for it.
Grandson graduated high school because of trade school, now a master electrician at 24. Starting his own business. Thank you, tradesmen, for doing all the dirty jobs, all the techy jobs for us.
This is the best one so far. Mike Rowe is awesome. He’s the “Everyman” with waaay more common sense and a higher IQ than 95% of college professors.
Have you met 95% of the college professors in the world? Or, is it the 95% of the college professors you've been around?
Man, can you imagine a Ben Shapiro / Mike Rowe presidential ticket?
That would be a dream come true!!!
100% should happen. Rowe/Shapiro Make America get on with it
Eh, the vice presidency would be a waste of Mike's talents... Make him secretary of labor and education. (combine the two departments.)
Joshua Cornelius great point.
That would be awesome.
Greatest guest you've ever had on the show. My hats off to both of you gentlemen.
Sunday Routine:
1. Wake up
2. See who Ben’s guest is for the week
3. Go to church
4. Eat lunch
5. Listen to the Sunday Special while I’m at work
I love Sundays.
Minus the church :)
2 days ago I spent the afternoon in an old dirty crawlspace pulling data cables for a customer who needed a new computer network. I do whatever needs to be done and I don't turn my nose up at hard work. I spend most of my time at a desk configuring network equipment but somebody has to physically install that equipment; I give my customers a big savings by configuring and installing. There are a ton of available jobs in telecommunications installation. It's a dirty job pulling data cables but somebody's got to do it.
I was in a Firestone a few weeks ago and noticed a sign that said something to the effect that cars might be built by machines, but it takes human hands to fix them. I think most trade/skill jobs are jobs that can't be outsourced or mechanized but yet are so looked down on.
His voice is so wonderfully perfect. Mike Rowe’s is alright too.
Bryce Miles LOL
Bro 😂
rip Mike
Bryce Miles 😂😂😂
"Happiness is a terrific symptom, it's a terrible goal." One of the many insightful quotes from Mike Rowe. Seems like a great guy, wonderful interview. I fully agree with his philosophy of becoming great at whatever job you do, rather than trying to find a job you think will be great. It has worked well for me. I am in an industry I never thought I would work in but I love my job. I was laid off, later re-hired by the same company and worked my way back up from the shipping department. Since then I have moved to 3 different companies. I constantly try to learn as much as I can. I work for my current employer by choice instead of necessity and that is a great freedom. A lot of late nights and work that went un-noticed but it was worth it in the end and I still have more to grow. All from skills I have learned on the job with a high school education. I was lucky enough to have taken auto-shop, wood-shop, plastics and electronics classes in high school.
Justin Couch plastics classes?
We melted down those little plastic beads and used a vacuum press to make different forms.
Love this interview, Ben & Mike you're both awesome! These guys tell it like it is with sarcasm, no BS, no nonsense kinda guys.
Sunshine CDG agreed
Real men
Sunshine CDG True, Good conversation 👏🏼
This was the best so far. Mike Rowe is a crusader for the working class. I agree with just about all he says. I work in healthcare as a nurse. My wife and I together( she is a nurse too) we make more than a lot of people I know with masters degrees. We both went to community college. Worked for all we have. Ben keep the good interviews coming at us.
Graydog 0126 respect for Nurses!!!
Ben Shapiros wife is a doctor.
Mike is right, I love Ben's way of presenting his ads; it's authentic and effective.
I've been a fan of Mike since I was a little kid. My grandpa was the only father figure I had in my life, and he was a hard worker. I had a deep appreciation for the stories he did and the people's lives, and livelihood he highlighted.
Huge amount of respect for both of these individuals!
i've gotten a useless degree while single parenting. then made little but raised my son successfully. after he grew up i got a well-paying job with machines. mike rowe is great. sometimes you make mistakes but you forge like a beast because if you won't, no one else will. great talk ben
i was a high rise ironworker from 1961 till 1981 then i transferred into the pipefitters and retired pipefitter/welder,im 77 yo and very happy
Mike Rowe is the best, I was born with disabilites, not hghly visible ones. I have attended 30 years of community college learning trades, I studied programming, electronics, computer sciences, drafting. I have worked in over 100 jobs across the United States. I did field work, dishwasher, pizza cook, aviation industry, custom boat industry, nuclear power, sporting goods stores, clothing store, shipping and recieving, electronnic assembly. to name some. Up until 20 years ago, I always worked two to three jobs. I started to work on my bachelors degree but the price of one class jumped from 950 USD for 3 credits, to 1000 USD per credit. Beyond my pay grade. I am retiring for the with my most current job on the 19th September this year.
I think Mike's point about arranged marriage is similar to what was said on the Daily Wire father's day special... every marriage is an arranged marriage, technically it's between you and the person you marry at the time you enter into it. We all change as time goes on, so although you might start out one way, the most important part of a successful marriage is working as a team, meaning that you need to keep common goals.
Love mike rowe. Also love a smart conversation like this one.
I'm watching this in May 2023 and what a show. So many things still apply and so much they didn't know was coming. Two genuine gentlemen having an honest conversation, uninhibited.
Great Example of A Real Man! Thanks Ben!
Mike's buttery deep voice resonates at the exact frequency it takes to shake apart my entertainment center, even at low volume.
I’m a huge fan of the fact that Ben has been having such a great variety of guests on the Sunday Specials. Have to admit, at first I thought he would be interviewing boring politicians exclusively. Glad I was so wrong.
Ben, do you know what sets you apart from nearly every other interviewer in the media these days? It is very simple: you listen to your guest. You do not come across as having a "list of questions" that guide your every response and reaction to the guest. Nor do you come across as self-serving, as in you are really only there to boost your own public presence. Well done, Ben. Mike, there is something about you that conveys a purity of heart that people simply do not have anymore and it is refreshing to the point where it is so redeeming it shows we still have a chance at being a decent society made up of decent people. I look forward to voting for both of you in the future presidential elections.
Lol, his list of ads though
I been listening ti Mr. Shapiro for awhile and my family and and i being blue collar as being working in welding and being a diesel mechanic these two together is america at its best. Watched this multiple times thanks you. And hate mainstream media so thank yall
Mike Rowe is a national treasure.
Happiness is a symptom, not a goal.
Love mike Rowe, one of my favorite Sunday specials!
Mike muther freaking Rowe! I love this man! He's so calm, witty and intelligent. His baritone voice just makes my ears ooze with joy! Then Ben comes on and starts selling sheets and ruins it all. 😉
This is the best! Ben! Please make Mike your vice president and THEN this country will be great again!
Industrial Arts. Home Economics. Not wasted time. I’m female and started a four year Carpentry apprenticeship in the mid 70’s. In 1980 I made $16 an hour using my hands and brain. I was the first journeyman female Carpenter in Michigan. I was not a victim. It was not always easy because it was new for me and the men I worked with. But I stuck it out and learned so much and found out I really enjoyed working outside and getting paid well. I repeat..I was not a victim of my status in life. I’m glad I didn’t go to the University of Michigan where liberal brainwashing began. #WalkAway Campaign.
Hype! When are you going to have Crowder on?
Dr_T-Bagger hmm...they’ve already been on each other’s show numerous times. Not sure how it would be any different on a Sunday Special format...?
Dr_T-Bagger hopefully never.
Dr_T-Bagger crowder’s shrill, hysterical-sounding shrieking wouldn’t work well on a Sunday special format.
I think crowder would do great in a more calm and collected setting such as this
Agreed :)
AWESOME!!!! MIKE “Dirty Jobs” ROWE.
MIke....I have over 40 years experience in the HVAC industry. I was fortunate enough to finish 4 years of college and am willing to teach part time. Does your foundation have any presences in the Cincinnati area where I can pass-on my experiences to some young people willing to learn about the trade?
I loved this interview! Mike Rowe is the best person we need with the common sense and values he holds.
Holy crap. Mike Rowe is a genius. Mike Rowe for president. Please. Mike. Run.
Mike Rowe is the brightest light in the intellectual dark web.
Great discussion. When I went to school in NY in the 70s, there was a program called BOCES trade school--I think it's still around. They offered high school corses in many trades: electrician, plumbing, carpentry, auto repair/mechanic, etc. I always thought that was a valuable option for students who had marketable skills in trades rather than, say, STEM. If I were in HS today and didn't have a passion around STEM (I chose that path) I'd seriously consider trades. The advantages of pursuing trades are compelling--you graduate with almost no debt, you can find work in many cities (in the Boston/Cambridge area where I live and work, the demand is yuuuuuge) and you make good money. After a few years you could start your own business and make serious cash! It's like the old "joke" about the millionaire plumber living next to the million-dollar indebted Doctor.
Was really excited for this. Loved dirty jobs and Mike Rowe is a great person overall.
Love Mike Rowe.
One of the best shows ever thanks mike.
Another great Sunday Special!
Excited for this Sunday Special! Listening now!
Have to love Mike Rowe! So deserving of interviews like this!
This is the best interview you’ve done yet. Great job Ben.
Under water basket weving is still a skill needed by the sea grapes cultivation industry.
Nick b underwater basket weaver major, wit a minor on Chicano studies, I have a bright future ahead.
This is the first time I've come across this guy. What a boss.
This was one of the best Sunday specials
I look forward to my sunday mornings and conversations. And I can listen to Mike Rowe all day long.
I was super excited to hear Mike was gonna be on this show. I think he is one of the most genuine awesome famous person out there and I just love him. 👏
Passion is important
Facts also matter!
Another wonderful Sunday Special.
Thank you to both Mr. Shapiro as well as Mr. Rowe.
Software engineer over here... When I'm doing interviews for my company I *never* look for a degree. I look for chops, because chops are all that matter...well, mostly.
I didn't think I could have a bigger crush on Mike Rowe...until now.
He is such a wonderful gift to our world.
100% one of the best Sundays you've put out! Excellent!
REFRESHING .....LIKE A GLASS OF WATER FOR MY MIND . THANK YOU GENTLEMEN .
Donald Trump was the only candidate that sent anything. I think we see who truly cares about the people.
Love Mike Rowe! Great conversation!
I apologize for presuming that the 'dirty jobs guy' was not fit for the Sunday Special. I was wrong, great episode!
Provoking Thought he is INCREDIBLY smart. It’s actually mesmerizing to listen to him. Check out his show “returning the favor” on Facebook. Ittl hit you in your feels. Many people assume about mike Rowe. ie the dirty jobs guy. He is so much more
Absolutely awesome! Hat's off to the both of you... 💯
Best interview so far Ben, I
Dirty Jobs With Special Guest Ben Shapiro
Awesome episode I really enjoyed it! Two of my favorite speakers talking with each other!
Jobs can go away. You have to find something that the market wants or needs. I work in the oil business. Specifically I make advance turbine oils for high speed turbines. So long as their are generators and turbines, I'm good. But, the process are highly automated, and I'm there to make sure the machines run correctly. 10 years ago I would be the guy doing each step. Industrialization creep is very real. The only thing that keeps me safe is that the product is so damn profitable its not worth fully automating the processes, and the tolerances are very tight and to make an automated system that can hit those tolerances is very $$ and hard to do. The moment that changes, I'll worry.
Okay, the S.W.E.A.T. Pledge is awesome!!!
What a great special. Thank you both.
Watched this twice. Mike Rpwe is very insightful.
Very Very Cool. God Bless You Both.
Best Sunday special by far! What an interview!
Surprised to not see this with more views
Love Mike Rowe, I watch whatever show he's on.
Love Mike Rowe. He always seems to have a good grasp of what the average American is dealing with in their daily lives. Also love how Ben tries to gain the perspective of his guests with the issues he’s commented on in the recent past. I think that’s a significant tool for one to obtain truly objective opinions without trying to force that guest into thinking like they do in the process; which is something other hosts (mainly on the left) seem to be so fundamentally incapable of doing these days. This is exactly why I’m still a big fan of the Ben Shapiro show, despite the fact that I don’t necessarily 100% agree with all his opinions. 95% I typically agree with, but obviously I do have the capacity to think and assess situations for myself, to realize that Ben (and he’s smart enough to realize this also) is not always right about everything. But, I do value his intellectual personal and professional incites.
This is absolutely a great listen. I enjoyed it thoroughly.
I'm not a RW guy but Mike Rowe is my favourite guy
This was indeed a favorite of mine to watch and listen
Loved every second of this.
I watched this for FREE(Not including buying my tablet, WiFi)... You did not make this video with no budget. Nothing is really FREE. Lights, chairs, & a stage... Etc. Damn right pitch me a plug. You found a way to make a reality (legal, and not out of your pocket) of something you invisioned. How is that being a selling out what Ben has been doing here? Also, mad respect for Mike Rowe. Great episode!
Awesome episode. Thank you team Shapiro and Mike!
Great!!
Thank you Ben Shapiro!
Mike Rowe is a terrific guy....another good interview Mr. Shapiro.
Jason whitlock, jordan peterson, Mike rowe, man i love these!
I thought politics is 'dirty jobs'!
They contaminate politics so it is dirty
This was very enlightening, thank you
Takeaway from this: Mike Rowe is a podcast god.
Great show, thank you.
This guy should get a award for his voice!
I once asked my mom why she married my dad. She had two answers.
1. She didn't want anyone else to get him.
2. He could "do things".
They were married for about fifty years.
He really could " do things". He would think of something he wanted and then just build it. He was amazing.
Luv those two❣️❣️❣️ brave cowboys 🤠🤠
lovely episode. Good job.
Thanks!
Great show I love the ads and Mike Row. The trades gap is growing and any effort to stop the growth is in my view worth the effort. When I went to high school there were 2 trades high school's that were dedicated to teaching the skills needed to succeed in life. Both schools are now dedicated to teen mothers, and no the teen fathers don't get to go to school with their kids. 🙁
Awesome interview! I have always loved this guy, use to watch dirty jobs all the time when I was in school.
What a great dude.
Great show.
