Mike Rowe's Awkward Pedicab Journey: A Must-Watch Embarrassment | Somebody's Gotta Do It

[@garciamadrid9040]

This my friends is the embodiment of the great American dream. Ali, you’re a creative entrepreneur and America needs people like you. Thanks for posting this video, Mr. Rowe.

[@Kawiboy]

I like it 💪✌️

[@jamesholmes5631]

Agree

[@odetosleep1596]

I'm 31 now and grew up on Mike Rowe, never fails to entertain me! Thanks for the years of awesome content!

[@preshisify]

agreed

[@nix4644]

I mean, the guys voice...I could listen to him read a phone book.

[@MrJagger112]

I really like how he keeps things down to earth and how "regular guy" he is towards people. It's clean, simple, respectful and fun 👍

[@odetosleep1596]

I totally agree with you. And as a carpenter by trade, I'm just a regular guy lol

[@TooStinkinFine]

Working hard with integrity = success! Good show, Mike! I couldn’t pedal a bike for an hour, all day and my legs would fall off! LOL. God bless this young man and his family!

[@garciamadrid9040]

I think that we have to start pedaling our own bikes for our health and well-being and to show support for our entrepreneurs and work force that work is the essential part in rebuilding this country to greatness.

[@earndoggy]

People like this man are exactly who made America great to begin with and will continue to do so. Well done, sir, thank you for the amazing example you set. May your hard work and good fortune never desert you.

[@Berm_Blaster]

I love Mikes shirt "stop making stupid people famous"

[@garciamadrid9040]

Where can we buy that shirt?

[@Berm_Blaster]

@@garciamadrid9040 honestly no idea. But I'm sure if you typed into Google something would pop up

[@Eupher6]

Another winning show! Working hard pays off, despite what too many think!

[@vangoodwin7335]

Could you do a whole season of stories like this today? AMERICA needs this spirit to be celebrated. With Respect and Love, You are in my prayers Hoka Hey

[@bettysmith3871]

Love Mike❤

[@NonyaBeezznis]

1,000 views in 25 minutes should tell you how likable Mike Rowe is.

[@RestingBitchface7]

2,500 in less than an hour. What a legend!

[@petedriftmeyer3867]

American Dream is still alive ❤

[@rabibbibar6134]

Living the American Dream, I love this show

[@howardmallisonii503]

Rode in a pedicab in Berlin. Wonderful experience, and faster than following the road as they could zip through the parks.

[@philipmaxwell1785]

The cab with the lights could be called Turkish delight. Get it? De Light for the lights 😊

[@gerardjohnson2106]

Great story of success by dedication and hard work. It is a real lesson for everyone. Thanks for sharing.

[@johnnyb95678]

Entertaining and a great positive message. Thank you Mike!

[@dcallan812]

I hope they are more regulated in the US These things are unregulated and cause chaos in central London. They have no regulations, no insurance for customers or other vehicles, no safety rules, no set price per mile and can just rip people off.

[@carlaatkins2619]

Saddle Sore is REAL. Great story. 🎶💐💖

[@kennethrose712]

Great story. Wish they were there when I lived in San Diego back in the 80's...lol . Would have used them alot going from the base to the beach. Cheers . Keep it up.

[@davesproles2708]

I just realized, I was smiling that whole video......... what a different job

[@rickolson-51]

Love this video... Wonder how many crossing our southern border will work that hard?

[@dalet9207]

These are the best rides back to hotel or parking lot after a concert in Atlanta or a football game.

[@wondertwin1626]

‘23’ gotta love the kids!

[@Xktree72]

I live in SD, and I can tell you that you missed Petco Park by literally a mile when you dropped off the first pair of ladies. You dropped them where the cruise ships dock.

[@KevinHall-ux9hn]

I'll bet your butt was hurting after filming this episode! All the very best MR!

[@kennyhiggs8034]

Mike,your awesome 👌Never a dull moment.

[@MackMoore-q2n]

Great story and it proves the best known fact that you get out of life what you put into it. Wake up you bunch of couch potatoes living at home with your Mama’s ( Go To Work) Thanks Mike go home and break out the mussel rub.

[@willkennedy8317]

Best dude ever

[@bextar6365]

Those Ape Hanger bars don't make sense !!

[@RestingBitchface7]

This was so great. Now I need a new exercise plan. 😂❤

[@ASeekerOfLostSkills]

And an App to tell you where all the piles of Human feces are.

[@Polarbrrr316]

Mike rowe come work with us!

[@dougadams9419]

Nothing new. Those are all over the Philippines and other Southeast Asian Countries, both pedal or have engines.

[@MrGiXxEr]

And here I thought this video was about Biden's motorcade being hit by a car...

[@beefweiner]

i don't think Comicon has ever been more irrelevant than today.. its kind of the perfect comparison

[@BernadetteResnik]

lol I thought you meant pedophile.!

[@ironhead9507]

Work ethic, something a lot of Americans need to learn about

[@quigleyclampett6132]

Mike you have impressed me for years. You are a talented man but when the guy told you his story ,I could see the pride in your face of American spirit and hard work! Thank you sir for what you do!

[@uneasingcoma5652]

5:42 Love how mike's face changes when he hears how he started out and can see in his eye that is the American dream from starting from nothing to being something

[@jasonsimpkins9069]

When I read pedicab I honestly thought getting a pedicure in a cab ride.

[@supra1jzed]

Mike, you are absolutely one of the country's treasures. Wholesome as it gets and legitimately the best voice/narration throughout the entire industry from TV to anything on the internet. Thanks for what you do!

[@jackwalsh1468]

Hey Mikey! I liked this video a lot! A very unique way to "Pedal your way to fame" Mikey, thank you for all that your team and you do. Cheers, Mate.

[@jamesogden7756]

I kept waiting for the "embarrassing" bit, but this whole episode is just very Mike Rowe wholesome goodness. 🫡

[@KineticTaco]

“Your safety is among our priorities” That got me.

[@ibcaliphotography8850]

Ali gave my kids' 100 year old grandmother a pedicab ride back in the early 2000's in SD. She giggled and laughed like a school girl! It was priceless!

[@debbiebrooks3473]

Congratulations! I am so happy for you. God bless. 👍

[@dalet9207]

Ok Mike you need to get this down to your mom’s place. She’d love having you ride her around the place!

[@beehappee2883]

Way to go Ali! You are an inspiration to the true meaning of the American dream!!💕

[@jvmuell]

When Mike asked what the "light" bike was called and then said it needed a better name, how about a play on "Turkish De-light Bike"

[@thelefthandedshooter381]

I got a much different picture in my head with “pedi-cab”. I’m glad I was wrong.

[@carolj2013]

One of my favorite memories is taking my then-10 yr old granddaughter to Savannah, GA and taking a pedi-cab ride from Leopold's Ice Cream Shop to our hotel. Those folks have calves of steel!

[@kathymc234]

It's pretty flat down here. Love Leopold's. Did they give you Leopold's Hollywood back story?

[@carolj2013]

@kathymcmc yes! It was fascinating. A fun place.

[@JimAllen-Persona]

If you're in NYC, you're making a fortune... $5/min.

[@jamesomalley4556]

20 years in this country and he made it ! so whats with all the B.S. kids that wont even get a job.

[@KA-qw5cv]

Wow! $500 when he landed in tne US and now he is a successful business man. Congratulations! Great episode!

[@duaneayers6117]

Zero hand signals Zero excuse me, excuse me I'm coming through. So much more not done. Nothing

[@yzenynot]

Love the tee shirt by street artist Plastic Jesus MIke is wearing.

[@joellynshort3949]

Hey! Thanks for coming to San Diego! 😊

[@jerryf6983]

Mike Rowe, how bad did your legs burn after this?

[@nolt4024]

Turkish PediLite…sounds good

[@cliff8669]

Bravo Zulu to Ali. Pity there are so many natural born U.S. Citizens who are content to just wait and let somebody else do for them.

[@markshane2686]

US born citizens don't get all the free handout that these foreigners get. Close the borders to all .

[@JimAllen-Persona]

MIke, love your shirt. Your mech store should have that.

[@gregeconomeier1476]

Seems like rear view mirrors would be useful on those bikes.

[@LexiK1820]

Ali is a tenacious guy. This is what America opportunity looks like. Good for you Ali.

[@ericthompson3982]

Ok, that was a pretty good one.

[@boomdoggy]

God Bless ALL Hard Working Americans🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 God Bless Mike Rowe🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@massapower]

Hey !!! A Car2go Smart Car 8:07 😜👍🏻 This must have been recorded before 2020 for sure

[@rickbrown5077]

Love the shirt Mike

[@sumofme1]

I'm just curious did he get his work permit? Because we American citizens know it's not that easy; where did he live for 500? Good for him but it's not that easy

[@3henry214]

An immigrant from Turkey... putting to shame native born American's in virtues and work ethic values. I'm 70, I grew up in an era where if you didn't work, you didn't eat or have a place to live, and it was the unquestioned societal rule that you did your best to avoid. Now days, people expect or feel entitled to be bailed out… Whether it is still living at home with your parents at age 25 (or more) or expecting free social program handouts, such as "universal basic income (UBI)", that's being handed out without any requirement to do anything, in order to earn it. My self-pride and sense of self-sufficiency would never allow me to accept a UBI handout, unless I was truly down and out, after exhausting all avenues to earn my own way. For many, "homelessness" is a chosen lifestyle, and not due to unfortunate circumstances that were beyond their control. The expression of pride on Mike Rowe's face, as Ali tells his story, says it all.

[@Tonyhouse1168]

QUIT MAKING STUPID PEOPLE FAMOUS. Love you Mike. Thank you for shining light on the wonderful people who make up this country.

[@happycat3399]

It’s your pencil improv all over again!! You are so quick witted! Nailed it AGAIN!! AND, you got hired AGAIN!!

[@adamplanner2143]

In all honesty, this is probably your best episode of SGDI so far. Always a fan

[@wrongwaygarage]

THAT is the great American Success Story! ✌🏻

[@riskyron1416]

The electric assist PediTaxis in Mexico City are great. Two passengers. They have good suspension. And can use sidewalks, go against traffic getting you to destination in half the time and half the price. I have a 1200 watt electric assist scooter good for 56 KPH/32 MPH for which I also built a 1X2 Meter utility/camp trailer. I live in Costa Rica and we have many hills 20 to 35%, even one that is 41% I can di 28KPH on a 20% uphill on throttle only. As I have not Residency this a solution, no license, registration or insurance required. I have a 110 KM range between charges. Can't think of anywhere in the US I would risk riding a bike, electric assist or motorcycle. I may be Risky Ron, but that a bigger risk than I am willing to take. I am 76 and until a uear ago managed my own power on steel frame mountain bikes.

[@nomusicrc]

So over 10 years ago I was in Vegas and I did this with my wife she was almost 300 lb I was about 150 160 and we walked up to a bunch of guys that did this for a living they all looked at each other and finally one of them said I will give you a ride to the Luxor I felt sorry for the guy but now it makes me laugh I'm no longer married I took my girlfriend there they no longer do the rides. When I got back from Vegas i broke up with My girlfriend because she's a narcissist. I miss Vegas anyone you want to go

[@aaronmontgomery1304]

I can't believe he missed the opportunity to say... "High, I'm Mike, this is my brother, Matt and my other brother, Matt." I guess he was to focused on being, kind of safe, sort of... ...If you want to call ot that. 😉

[@StoriesOfASaytr]

100,000 a year if you do 12 hours a day every day. Assuming 20 days off for holidays that's... 4,140 hours a year. Which comes out to 24 Bucks an hour.

[@judymcinnis]

Hey Mike I just thought you should know that the commercial being shown on this Somebody's Gotta Do It video was for Gibson whiskey. Not Knobel Tennessee Whiskey. 😱

[@mvmv5883-e3g]

I bet he is not a Democrat. Just saying...(The Cambridge Dictionary says that “just saying” is used when you complain or criticize another person in an attempt to make it less offensive. The takeaway here is that “just saying” is a way to dismiss a person's feelings and absolve the speaker of any blame for their hurtful words.) I googled "just saying", and that popped first in the search. Just saying...

[@Matt_Dylan]

you really need to get some KZbin guys working for you. I saw a shot of some of the gear you are using and you are leaving a lot on the table in quality. You could run FX3 cameras with phantom luts and your shots would look 10 times better.

[@ThatPedicabLife]

Ali, is a great mentor of mine. Amazing guy to know, the true definition of success and the American Dream.

[@kenyongray2615]

Instead of getting "free" everything, this man and his family worked hard and what a surprise, success! Mike is great.

[@herzogsbuick]

The more I make up, the more my friends learn - Jay Straw in other words, i feel like i meet the requirement of being talkative and able to make things up

[@LadyAdakStillStands]

Howz about a piece on working in a sorting and distribution center for overseas charity donations? A humanitarian dirty job...

[@joebeach7759]

Did that thing have a higher gear so you wouldn't kill yourself peddling?

[@megamike420]

Today immigrants can come to America and do well because they are givin everything they need and a place to live. They are treated better than homeless and most are here illegally. Very amazing what Ali has done and I'm not knocking him at all. I realize this footage is from many many years ago and times have changed but there is a major problem with immigrants now a days. I miss San Diego so much and it was great to see some of it again. Crazy those giant wax statues weren't there a couple years ago so they must of all been removed at some point? Cool to see

[@TioDave]

He put you on the cab with ape hangers. The worse type of setup to start on. He was trying to make Mike struggle.

[@hiho8084]

What an inspiration! $500 and a dream.... Good for Ali!

[@nitro2037]

who cant make 100gs if work 12 hours 7 days a weeks?

[@BenjySparky]

Mike, you rock! Love the channel and content. Peace

[@Jronesfpv]

some of those bikes look like a 12 year old built it....

[@miltonbayne6649]

Sounded like a Joe Biden enterprise, you got me Mike.

[@dougadams9419]

OOPS! 15:24 You forgot to blur the phone number!

[@johnrivers3340]

I'd work for him if I still lived there, that seems awesome

[@ThatPedicabLife]

This is so rad. Thank you Mike Rowe.

[@SweetStephee]

❤❤❤ & 🤣🤣🤣

[@alpham777]

Cool Idea I'd change the name of it though.

[@carolynmehlow611]

Mike you never disappoint.

[@jonasthemovie]

Pedalcab sound so much better

[@WaynJul]

Great story.

[@onedisasterattatime9116]

Now thats how its done....Phukin A
