Summary

Mike Rowe (@mikeroweworks) is a host and narrator known for his work on Dirty Jobs, Somebody's Gotta Do It, The Way I Heard It Podcast, and Returning the Favor. He is also now an author, and his first book, The Way I Heard It, is out now.

What We Discuss with Mike Rowe:

How the prevailing desire among correction culture commandos to prove others wrong on the Internet stifles our ability to exchange ideas freely.

How Mike's thrifty (and crafty) parents suckered him into feeling sorry for rich people when he was growing up.
