Best gift I've ever received has to be a bike when I was younger, a pedal bike.

It was a sort of slick little road bike and I remember it was all like, it was so, it was all wrapped up,

it was so obvious what it was obviously because nothing's shaped like a bike and I had a little ribbon on it and I was so

a guest. For that was a life changer and I'm still sort of big on cycling around my area now so, for that one change me a little.

Enjoy in every sip with red cups now back at Starbucks.

Okay, as promised today we are sitting down with the renowned Mike Row.

You guys are going to absolutely love this conversation. Can't wait for you to hear it without further ado. Here's our new friend, Mike Row.

Mike, thanks so much for joining us. I don't think that you need any introduction. Everyone listening and watching already knows who you are.

Are you sure?

I am fairly positive unless we do have a few people that are known to live under rock so it could be possible that some of some of them don't know who you are.

Well, I've done some of my best work under rocks. That's true. I'll target this. I'm going to speak as broadly as I can to your enormous audience including those currently living under rock.

Yes, you're big in the live under rock community. So I appreciate that about you. All right, there's a million things I want to talk to you about.

One thing that we've talked about a lot on this podcast. What's going on in Canada, particularly with the truckers.

I've heard you talk about this a couple times. This really is kind of a workers of the world.

Are uniting situation and yet the socialists are upset about it. What's your general take about what's going on there and seeing these regular working class people push back on what they see as tyrannical mandates.

On the one hand, I think it's kind of inevitable. Somebody has to be first somebody in every pushback. Right. Somebody goes first.

What's ironic about this is that three weeks ago these guys were national heroes, international heroes. Really?

And then overnight they went straight to villains and that's amazing. And that's a sign of the times. I was on the cover of a magazine called Trucker about probably seven years ago.

And I remember talking to the guys then and it's such a band of brothers. People don't realize that on the one hand truckers live lives of isolation.

Traveling oftentimes alone over vast stretches, you know, but they they have such a bond because they all they all know what the others do. They all know what it takes. They all know what it means to be essential.
