Episode notes

I'm trained to make all kinds of assumptions. It's hard to see people that's more than one thing sometimes too. The other thing is, yeah, we're in real trouble. I had a guy on my podcast just a couple of weeks ago, an economist named Nicholas Eberhardt. He wrote a best selling book in 2016 called Men Without Work. Just republished it because the contention in the book is now on steroids. Probably what he's saying is never mind the unemployment numbers. They don't matter.

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.
