      Micro (Mike Rowe) is a 😂 very funny coincidence and your power of observation was spot on there cheers 🥂 to you for making me laugh today. Thank you for that!
      He's a funny guy who could probably do stand up comedy if he wanted to, after watching and listening to his antics over the years what's not to like about this true American Patriot. #mikerowemicro 😮😂❤

    It's the same here in Australia! EVERYTHING is being manufactured overseas and it's hurting us badly!! Even after the pandemic there are shortages of everything from building materials to medicines. If only the Governments would step up and fight for their own people. Your show is amazing. YOU are amazing Mike! I have been a fan for years and when you talk about important issues you do it with sass and humour. You're a bloody legend Mike! Peace and Love from Australia

    Because no matter how small, they're still individual pieces of Art!
    And who doesn't want the signature,

    A few years back I told my wife, just before Christmas, "I bought Jim (my son) a Mike Rowe Bobblehead for Christmas." She looked at me like a puppy dog hearing a weird sound and replied "What would he do with a micro Bobblehead." Took us a bit to get on the same page.

    I can see the possibilities of impressing the next generation of children. Just sayin.. Kudos Mikey, for all that your crew do and you do for America. Cheers, Mate.

    I've had Mike and Freddy sitting on my breakfast counter for many years now, and Mike's always ready for a snappy comment or comeback at a moment's notice, or to randomly freak out the dog. Doing a dirty job, explaining the connection between extremely unconnected things, doing a good deed for a good doer, teaching America how things need to be done or giving a morning chuckle, Mike never fails to deliver.
