SURVIVING The WORST Film Ever Made | Mike Rowe: The Way I Heard It

[@annsacik-smith6829]

I will sit and listen to Mike Rowe talk, read and or sing anytime.❤

[@davidrice3337]

Sing ?

[@georgesoros6415]

try singing with him! It's like being in a nice wool sweater the first cold day. I'm not a beginner, but Mike is that good.

[@michaelcody-ju2zz]

I can do without the singing, but I agree with everything else. He's awesome!!

[@scotcoon1186]

[@robsherbonjr5880]

The “that’s the way I heard it” takes me back to the days of my childhood sitting with my grandfather listening to Paul Harvey… and now you know the rest of the story… and I LOVE it!! Thanks for sparking a core memory.

[@rachaelholderman9677]

[@victorialw1]

A few lifetimes ago, my husband and I got a job cleaning out the storm sewers in a newly constructed subdivision. The village wanted about a thousand pounds of wet construction clay removed from the storm sewers before they would annex the subdivision. All my husband and I had to work with was a one gallon bucket tied to a rope. Early one morning, when the construction crews were pulling onto the job, my husband and I came crawling up out of the storm drain. We looked like the mud monster from the movie "The World Beyond". After we explained what we were doing in the sewer, someone yelled, "Call Mike Rowe!" 😂

[@georgesoros6415]

You're a keeper, my dear.

[@keekers]

When my now husband and I had just started dating, we were driving to a restaurant, both dressed nice. (He was hot. Lol) It was raining hard. I saw something in a ditch and told him. He slowed down. A cow was stuck in mud in a ditch. We both got out without saying a word. He got his rope out of the truck, I got the shovel out of his toolbox. We worked together and got this cow out. He was pulling her, I was pushing. Right when we heard the sound of the mud releasing her, she pooped all over me as she came up. It was not pleasant. My boyfriend checked out the cow and made sure she wasn't hurt. Checked on me. I told him I would be alright but I need a shower, fast. He called the owner of the cow who came to get her. My boyfriend helped fix the fence as I stood in the rain and got as much ick off of me as possible. My boyfriend had coveralls in his toolbox and gave them to me. I changed in his truck. He got back in the truck and said, "Well, that was a shitty start to our date. We're Mike?" I didn't know what he meant. He took me back to his house and told his mother I needed clothes and he wanted to show me Dirty Jobs. I wore his mother's sweats and we watched Dirty Jobs with his parents while my icky clothes were washed by his mom (I told her I could wash them she told me no. Lol) My husband tells me that was the night he told his dad that I was the one. 🤣 (I remember that he told his dad to skip an episode. Found out later it was the horse insemination one. Lol)

[@paulshewan6058]

​@@keekersA Mike Rowe 'Dirty Jobs' love story! Congratulations on finding "the One"!!!

[@glennjames7107]

​@@keekers That's a great first date story, and the fact that ya'll wound up getting married, and are still together makes it all the better ! On another note, fortunately for you, cow manure is mostly composed of what amounts to half digested grass, it's not quite as bad as others animal poo. It's still pretty gross though, it wouldn't be as humorous though had it been from something other than a ruminant animal !

[@victorialw1]

​​@@keekers Oh my goodness!!!! 🤣 Thank you for that awesome story!!!! It sounds like mine and my husband's (then boyfriend) first date!! It was a prom date, so we were dressed to the nine's too. Except, ours wasn't a cow, it was his car. He pushed with mud flying everywhere while I gave it gas. He had on a rented tuxedo and didn't want it to get ruined, so he took everything off except the bowtie. I wasn't allowed to turn around, but I peeked. 😂 He was hot too!!! When I got home with my prom dress and bare feet covered in mud, he started calling me his muddy-toed girl.

[@robbynholmes9507]

Having listened to many podcasts by Mike and Chuck on my IPhone , all of which I've thoroughly enjoyed, I came upon this tonight and it was wonderful. As an 85 year old widow, watching this on my computer, it was delightful listening to men's voices telling great stories at my kitchen table. I miss deep voices and especially the laughter. Bless you both! P.S, I've read all of your Mother's books, Mike, loved them of course, can't wait for the new one coming out. Your contributions to the world are much appreciated.

[@VorpalBunnysRevenge]

This episode reminds me of the best complement I ever received as a performer. We had no set, no costume, no makeup, almost no props. In front of people who knew me for years. They told me "I didn't recognize you." Modern actors need to learn to become invisible again.

[@e.scottdaugherty8291]

bit quieter too wouldn't hurt either...

[@lilolmecj]

Most people don’t agree with me, but in every role I have seen Meryl Streep , all I see is Meryl Streep playing X, same with many actors. What I think I should see is the character, and not notice the actor. And I really think the entire entertainment complex was far more enjoyable when I had no idea the actors had a life outside of film. I don’t want to know their political opinions. Basically be an actor, go to work do your job, go home.

[@donde2k]

@@lilolmecjI think, among contemporary actors, Daniel Day Lewis comes closest to achieving the art of inhabiting and disappearing into the role.

[@RossMalagarie]

@@lilolmecj most actors especially the "top" actors just be themselves in a role just with a different name. Exact same personality, mannerisms, tone, facial expressions, level of confidence, use the same catchphrases, "all right all right all right, my man, and so on. Only a VERY few actually ACT like a different person. Daniel Day Louis is an actual actor that portrays a different person in all his roles. The guy that played Golum from the lord of the rings. He acts. Not just remembers or adlibs the lines but actually ACTS like a different person.

[@Sean.Gordon]

Mr. Rowe, don't take this wrong way. I love playing your podcast to fall asleep, but I rewatch it the next day.

[@angiewoodward4166]

It’s his great smooth voice.

[@georgesoros6415]

Drachinifel, a site for naval history, has the same effect on me. A mellifluous, elegant voice, comfortably expressed, can put me to sleep in a nonce. But I never miss him. Mike is even better to sing with. Like being held in a warm, soft glove, a bass like that. Plus, he is the nicest, funniest, considerate man you will ever meet. I knew him well before he was famous. Still the same old Mike. You could not design a better man.

[@MassEffectedX13]

I love Mike Rowe. The man has always been an entertaining part of my life, and now to learn more about his history, rise to fame, and dedication to his passions it really cements how much I value the attention I afford him with his new endeavors. Great Job Mike, I’m glad your podcast is taking off.

[@chrysopylaedesign]

Any Mike Rowe ......is a good day. As someone whose abopted San Francisco as his hometown, he repeatedly discusses fixing it & hasn't given up on it.....a true demonstration of love for one's home.

I struggle with separating an actor's politics with their art and I'm not afraid to admit it. I don't need their political opinions. It's a big turnoff for me.

[@OpenCarryUSMC]

That’s not a struggle. That’s a choice and perfectly fine.

[@gus9225]

Exactly!!! I can NOT support an artist, no matter how good they are at their craft, when they call me every name and slander in the book, for my political beliefs. If I didn't know how they felt about me, then I would watch them.

[@ronaldcarrel5388]

There are many, more than I would like to admit, that I can not support because of their overbearing loud mouth activism, whom presumably are here to entertain but feel they should try and convert or browbeat people that don’t think like they do. I can’t watch Robert De Niro (who is a fabulous in my opinion) or a Michael Moore movie (which I can’t find anything favorable about), or many others that I absolutely will never ever watch again. There are many others but you get my drift.

[@keekers]

I can ignore a celebrity's religion or political beliefs. If they are abusers, I can't support them anymore. If they say something stupid like, "If you're a Democrat, if you're a Republican, if you voted for Obama, Trump, Biden? Don't buy my music, come to my concerts, watch my movie/tv show." I stop supporting that celebrity. They obviously don't need my hard earned money. Tom Cruise is s great actor. I have to suspend my opinions of him to watch his movies. I liked Cocktail. It wasn't as good as all of the hype at the time. One thing people know, Tom Cruise is a professional.

[@JohnHansknecht]

I'll never watch another Robert De Niro movie.

[@fredericdudley6184]

⁠​⁠@@JohnHansknechtI was never impressed by his acting but if I had been, his behavior lately would justify your reaction.

[@NoelFallstrom]

As much as I try to separate the actor from the person, it becomes very hard to maintain my suspension of disbelief when I see the face of someone who has said despicable things. The best thing to have is a blank slate. Fortunately I don't subscribe to any Hollywood gossip magazines in my effort to maintain that blank slate. Unfortunately, some of the things that are said make it into the news headlines.

the opinion of a stranger sometimes means more that people realize. i work in logistics, since 1993. at my current job (since 2001) i make a point of expressing positive feedback to those who deserve and earn it during the course of my day. over the years, i have been asked "really, are you serious? i'm doing a great job?. i don't know you". but that's the point - if someone you do not directly work with (in the same department) compliments you on your focus and execution of your job it's a good, honest thing. i don't NEED to tell you what your job quality is, but yes, i am a stranger. i have no reason to jerk you around. people get it, if they ask me why and i explain why. my positive feedback may decide if that person comes back to work tomorrow, and i think that is all the more reason to say "good job". we need to hear we are on the right track, that our toil is not in vain. great show, mike.

Man, I enjoyed this! You guys really feed off each other in the most entertaining way. As far as not watching certain actors because of something in their personal life, I vowed to never watch anything with Jane Fonda once I found out about her disloyalty during Viet Nam; the other person I won't watch is Will Smith because of the Oscar slap. I used to say I would watch anything he was in, but not any more. Most of the time, I don't care about the personal lives of actors, but in these two cases, I just can't let it go.

My wife and I went to see Something to Stand For. First, the method of telling the stories is fantastic! So entertaining. We were engrossed the whole way through. I hadn't heard a couple of the stories before and my wife hadn't a couple of the other. We had so much fun the whole way through. We would go to another.

Mike is actually the most decent and kind person you will ever meet. I'm glad he hasn't let anything get to his head. He still looks just like the Mike I knew in the '90s.

The best podcast on KZbin! ❤

The sentiment over the credit in DJ's was compelling - I couldn't help but see the parallel between Mike Rowe and the workers you profiled; you carried a production, it doesn't happen and isn't a "money-making operation" w/out you, an employee that dedicates themself to a company should be recognized and given the financial reward and credit due by the company ownership without having to drag their tired butts into an office to complain. It's the way Hollywood works, but more importantly it's now the way American corporations work. "Do everything, say nothing, get nothing" is the perfect employee.

That was really interesting Mike. You have a good voice for story telling.

Being able to separate a person's acts and beliefs from their creations is key to enjoying and partaking in society. Unless you don't want society.

It was a non-issue till more recent years. It would really be helpful if actors would keep their in your face opinions to themselves. This is especially important for actors who are always ‘themselves’ even when acting, as opposed to to actors who so become the character that you don’t notice who is playing the part.

There are things far more important than money and accolades for what we do or who we are. Finding peace of mind has been my most worthwhile accomplishment but even that is fleeting, in most trying times. I am and have been an asshole to both friends and loved ones but have mellowed somewhat over the last 30 years. To answer what drives us to desire strangers to like us, I can sum it up simply being that we want universal unconditional love. The irony is that we are loved unconditionally but, asking for every human being to give us such gift, just isn't possible to fulfill... ...because human beings are involved. The peace of mind comes with the responsibility to remember that we are so loved. Awesome show, by the way, thanks for putting yourself out here for target practice.

These conversations always remind me of Paul Harvey's "The Rest of the Story". Thank you for these. I am still thankful to this day to have never watched that movie. Cruise still remains one of my least favorite people in the world. Personal and professional.
