"If you spend your days and nights making widgets for people you never meet, then you will never be connected to anything other than the transactional brute realities of your job," he says. "I miss today's being able to fucking generalize because I don't know what I'm talking about." In China that, that guy doesn't care about the sweater he's making for somebody a million. It doesn't, you know, he, so then he leaves work, there's no spirit in any of it".

Mike Rowe is a television host and narrator. He is known for his work on the Discovery Channel series Dirty Jobs, and other shows like Deadliest Catch and Shark Week. His foundation “Mike Rowe Works” helps provide scholarships to people looking to learn skilled trades.

Mike Rowe joins the show to chat with Theo about his long run on Dirty Jobs, the strange people he met along the way, his wildest animal encounters, and what’s changing about America’s workforce.
