The YouTube isn’t up yet, but Mike shared a few photos on IG. We were having so much fun. And yes, those doofus smiles are real! instagram.com/p/DTvlTz-kkPb/…

@mikeroweworks Not finding the bundle to purchase, following the link, what am I missing?

The goal of this photograph, obviously, is to persuade you to purchase The Perfect Knobel Bundle for someone on your list, or for your yourself, (assuming you’re not on your own list.) The Perfect Knobel Bundle includes everything pictured, including me. And by me, I mean Micro-MikeRowe, the slightly smaller, two-dimensional version of yours truly dressed here in a horrific holiday sweater, gifted to me by a fan of Dirty Jobs who assumed, quite rightly, that I’ll wear anything. Full-sized Mike is not included, but he will be with you in spirit, should you place an order at flaviar.com. Along with Micro-MikeRowe, which I encourage you to place on the top of your tree, or perhaps your mantle, or maybe the tank on the back of your toilet, I should direct your attention to the extraordinary bottle of hooch that accompanies every order. This is our Rickhouse edition, which has so far this year won a gold medal, a double gold medal, and most recently a triple gold medal from the very prestigious Major Spirit Liquor Awards. I don’t know if there’s such a thing as a “Quadruple Gold Medal” for whiskey, but if there is, I’m pretty sure we’re going to win one. This stuff is excellent. Everything else in the photo is self-explanatory, with the possible exception of two tubes of orange bitter-infused sugar cubes, which are guaranteed to give you the perfect Knobel Old Fashioned, when muddled and properly mixed. Instructions are included, but probably not necessary for anyone who has read this far. Finally, for the pedants among you, I should point out that the whiskey barrel on the far left, along with the quartet of bottles photoshopped atop it, are NOT included in The Perfect Knobel Bundle. They are only there to give Micro-MikeRowe something to lean against. Likewise, the barrel that full-sized Mike Rowe is leaning on is not part of the bundle, either. Again, the Perfect Knobel Bundle is an excellent Christmas present, and available exclusively at flaviar.com while supplies last. First come, first served.

@ZitoSalena Congratulations Salena!

To all of you who helped make Butler not only the number one nonfiction hardcover book in the country—but also the number one nonfiction, combined print and e-book, without any asterisk for any bulk sales—I am so grateful for your support. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ a.co/d/eE1ZRKA

@DNIGabbard @realDonaldTrump Tulsi gabbard fox friends

🧵 Americans will finally learn the truth about how in 2016, intelligence was politicized and weaponized by the most powerful people in the Obama Administration to lay the groundwork for what was essentially a years-long coup against President @realDonaldTrump, subverting the will of the American people and undermining our democratic republic. Here’s how:

@JCSFG49fan @mikeroweworks AT&T

I’m on Verizon paying $415 per month for 3 phones, and 3 data lines. Their service isn’t the “best” anymore. In fact, none of them are fantastic. Whose towers do Puretalk use? Are they on Verizon’s network? I would like to switch? Honestly waiting for Starlink to obsolete these wireless companies!

1-800-BULLY Last month, PureTalk asked me to make a sixty second homemade commercial for the Internet, touting their nationwide 5G coverage and their very affordable monthly rates. I agreed. As you may know, Pure Talk not only sponsors my podcast, they support my foundation, and I’ve been publicly singing their praises for some time now. So, I recorded a very simple commercial on my cell phone. Nothing fancy, just an honest explanation about why I switched from Verizon to Pure Talk, in my own words. I also included a shout-out to a Medal of Honor recipient named @ClintRomesha , whom I met on my podcast through Pure Talk, and mentioned his work with America’s Warrior Partnership, a terrific charity serving our veterans that @PureTalk has supported for years. Anyway, I sent Pure Talk the ad, and they loved it. In fact, they asked me if they could put it on television. I said “sure!” I’ve been arguing for years that the cost of production has little to do with the popularity of a TV show or the effectiveness of an ad, so I was interested to see how a homemade commercial that cost zero dollars to make would perform on primetime TV. Well, in short, it blew the doors off. This thing has been airing all over the place for the last few weeks, and according to my contact at PureTalk, a LOT of people have switched from Verizon after seeing this ad. Likewise, a lot of people have purchased Clint’s amazing book, Red Platoon, and looked in to supporting America’s Warrior Partnership. Win/Win! I realize most of you couldn’t care less about the fate of another commercial for a wireless company, but a few days ago, something interesting happened. Verizon asked the networks to stop airing my homemade commercial. And the networks immediately complied. Am I shocked? No. In this business, money talks, and Verizon is a $185 billion dollar company that buys more media in a week than Pure Talk buys all year. If they say “jump,” the ad execs say, “how high?” But still, I was surprised that Verizon would be so heavy-handed. Pure Talk will be fine, obviously, and so will I. In fact, I’m headed down to my office right now to record a new ad. But I feel bad about Clint Romesha, and America’s Warrior Partnership. They were getting some much-needed exposure, and if I were in Verizon’s place, I might have thought twice about silencing my competition in such a way. I’d love to get your thoughts. Was I out of line? Was I too mean to Verizon? Or, does the largest wireless company in the country have a remarkably thin skin? I’ve attached the original commercial below, along with a short eulogy for the cheapest most effective ad in the history of modern advertising. Give it a look and tell me what you think.

@hannahclaireb I’ve always liked Brimcast. Start a new show. You can do it HC!

Does anybody need a podcast co-host?

Please join me in congratulating my old buddy Chuck, the producer of The Way I Heard It, on another trip around the sun. Here he is, doing what he does best - drinking vodka by accident, impersonating a president, and making everyone around him laugh. Congratulations, my friend. Your gift is in the mail.

@ZitoSalena So glad that you and DJT are okay. Heartbroken for the families of the victims.

I was in the bumper when it happened. Felt the bullets go right past. Hit the ground Trump advance man laid on top of me and protected me until all clear.

@ElonMNews Yes!

@jonathanwsabin @Super70sSports @mikeroweworks Nah, we were way classier than that. 😂

@Super70sSports I would like to think these gents are @mikeroweworks barbershop quartet Semi Fourmal. That could be @ChuckKlausmeyer on the right...

One great thing about the 70s is this could be almost any function. Funeral, wedding, gospel singing event, prom, awards ceremony. They may be a pro wrestling faction. I simply do not know.

Run don’t walk to see Something To Stand For—take your family, take your friends. Full of larger-than-life stories reminding us greatness begins with the least of us & patriotism, even in our most flawed moments in history, is worth standing for washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/304422…

Such a pleasure meeting @kareykirk Listen to the full episode here bit.ly/4bCZZdz

“Mike - Why do you constantly threaten to fire Chuck? Is he really that incompetent? I find him delightful and enjoy it when things go off the rails. Please don't fire him. By the way, the current episode with Jordan H. is one of the best interviews I've ever listened to. Thanks.” Terry DiPietro Hi Terry - There's probably a rule in California about firing someone you've known for 46 years, so Chuck is probably safe. But then again, consider this, from the episode you just mentioned, and put yourself in my place. (How did a weekly podcast become more challenging than Dirty Jobs?) @JordanHarbinger, by the way, was not only an excellent conversationalist who excused himself in the middle of an otherwise riveting conversation to urinate, (which I appreciated), bit.ly/TWIHI379, but tried to do Chuck's job for him, as evidenced below. Good times... Enjoy, and have a happy Saturday. Listen on @Apple& @Spotify or your favorite podcast app.

Supporting small businesses and veterans while getting the adrenaline pumping? Absolutely. It was a privilege – and a blast – celebrating my 70th birthday with Trident Adventures Hawaii. A company owned and operated by Navy SEALs.

@Jessintheshire @mikeroweworks @kilmeade @Apple @Spotify It’s hockey season eh?

@mikeroweworks @kilmeade @Apple @Spotify wait - Is Chuck sporting a mullet???

This week’s guest is the usually competent @kilmeade, a man who makes his living in broadcasting, and has yet to grasp the fundamentals of podcasting. Listen to our entire conversation, which is excellent on @Apple & @Spotify, or any of your favorite podcast apps!
