Dirty Jobs' Mike Rowe on Lamb Castration, PETA, and American Labor
Loading...
Uploaded by ForaTv on Jan 7, 2009
Drawing on his experiences picking up roadkill, feeding swine, and castrating a lamb with his teeth, Mike Rowe, host of Discovery Channel's Dirty Jobs, discusses how modern American culture belittles necessary labor.
EG is the celebration of the American entertainment industry. Since 1984, Richard Saul Wurman has created extraordinary gatherings about learning and understanding. EG is a rich extension of these ideas - a conference that explores the attitude of understanding in music, film, television, radio, technology, advertising, gaming, interactivity and the web - The Entertainment Gathering
Mike Rowe has had more jobs than you. In fact, Mike has had more jobs than anyone.
As the creator and executive producer of Discovery Channels Emmy-nominated series Dirty Jobs With Mike Rowe, Mike has spent years traveling the country, working as an apprentice on more than 200 jobs that most people would go out of their way to avoid. From coal mining to roustabouting, maggot farming to sheep castrating, Mike has worked in just about every industry and filmed the show in almost every state, celebrating the hard-working Americans who make civilized life possible for the rest of us.
On Labor Day 2008, Mike launched a Web site called mikeroweWORKS.com, where skilled labor and hard work are celebrated in the hope of calling attention to the steady decline in the trades and bolstering enrollment in trade schools and technical colleges.
In addition to Dirty Jobs and his mikeroweWORKS endeavor, Mike is the voice of Deadliest Catch and the national spokesman for Ford Trucks. He has traveled extensively for Discovery Channel, hosting Shark Week in South Africa, where he field-tested a steel-mesh shark-suit, and Egypt Week Live, where he opened and explored newly discovered tombs in the Valley of the Golden Mummies.

@diesbl Well, in some middle eastern/african cultures Female genitalia is mutilated between infancy and teen years. Est. Over 130 million times in the passed 15 years. "oh it's been going on for thousands of years" Fuck you and your argument. Die slow, preferably with a rubber band tight around your nuts

One wouldn't think Mike Rowe is anything more than a humble entertainer with a good voice -- which is quite respectable in and of iteself -- but to find him an intellectual deep thinker -- a pragmatic philosopher is a wonderful surprise. He's by no means "a regular guy" but he understands what a regular guy feels.
