For half a dozen years Chuck has been trying to introduce Mike to Peabody Award winning actor, Nick Searcy who is best known for playing Chief Deputy U.S. Marshall Art Mullen on the FX series Justified, one of Mike’s favorite shows.  They discuss Nick’s career, why he made a movie about 1/6/21, and how he met President Bill Clinton at the White House.

Mike Rowe comes down hard on Scientology in a recent episode of “THE WAY I HEARD IT” podcast. His guest is his long-time friend Spanky Taylor. Spanky was featured in the HBO documentary “GOING CLEAR”.

‘You’re gonna be left with a breathtakingly overpriced product’

In this episode of “The Rubin Report,” BlazeTV host Dave Rubin was joined by “Dirty Jobs” star Mike Rowe to talk about the effects of the COVID-19 lockdowns and how they might permanently change many aspects of our lives.

Mike explained why he believes the pandemic has revealed college and higher education to be an overpriced luxury and said he hopes that this will cause us to rethink how we structure education in the US.

“I think when the dust settles, higher education is going to be revealed as the luxury brand that it truly is,” he told Dave. “And when you take away all of the stuff that has nothing to do with learning or connecting, you’re gonna be left with a breathtakingly overpriced product.”

In what appears to be an ongoing quest to get himself cancelled, Mike weighs in on the statue controversy much to the alarm of his producer, Chuck. Their conversation then pivots to the  situation in San Francisco, where the school board has recently voted to remove the names of Washington and Lincoln from the facades of public schools – a truly bizarre decision that left Mike to wonder how in the world so many powerful people have managed to get their heads so far up their own asses.

I’m very flattered by the many invitations to speak a various virtual graduations this year, and very sorry to say I’m unable to accomodate everyone. I did however, want to say something generally to all those men and women graduating from a trade school, and, to those high school graduates, about to enter one. If you know someone in either category, (and even if you don’t) I’d be grateful if you’d share this.
