Hey guys, it's Mike Rowan. This is the way I heard it, the only podcast for the curious

mind with a short attention span that's been recently expanded to include a conversational

component that will hopefully increase listener engagement and allow for a modest level of

enhanced monetization. Too much? Too wordy? Yeah, I've been struggling to find a new and

snappy way to introduce the podcast since it is no longer for the short attention span

among us. The new and improved version is a bit lengthier as you have no doubt. Notice

I'll work on it. See what you can come up with next week. For now, we're posting the

second chapter of my book, which deals with three separate catastrophes, each of which

have touched the lives of millions of people and each of which I happened to witness,

sort of. Chuck and I then discuss the role of booze in each of these disasters, along

with the advantages of drinking shots with famous people, and the reason that I am not

currently hosting one of the longest running TV shows in America. We then reveal my

proudest moment in the history of dirty jobs and the network's bizarre decision to pixelate

my vomit in prime time. It is all modesty aside. Another riveting conversation with my

old buddy Chuck that I like to call the way I talked about the way I heard it. And it's

all part of episode number 179, a shot in the dark. And it all starts right now. And

by right now, I mean, approximately one second after I thank my friends at Net Suite for

sponsoring this episode, Net Suite by Oracle is the world's number one cloud business system.

And if you run a business, the time has come to ditch the quick books and abandon your

old spreadsheets and start the new year with Net Suite. Why? Because Net Suite gives you

instantaneous visibility and control over your entire business, no matter where you are,

financials, HR, inventory, e-commerce, everything you need to run your business all in one place.
