    Great talk, I've got a lot of respect for what goes into making that show.

    I don't watch a whole lot of TV, but I have always liked Dirty Jobs, mainly because of the respect that Mike Rowe has for the people and the jobs he showcases. That respect is all the more evident in this video. Take the time to watch it. He is an amazingly engaging speaker and I guarantee you, you won't be bored; but your perspective and prejudices may change just a little.

    Two new favourite words:anagnorisis and peripetia. You might feel a bit squeamish imagining it, but like any great TED talk, not only is it humble and honest discussion of his experience and human nature. This video also keeps you thinking about related topics long after you've watched it.

    While the vid is provocative enough, comments and responses to it are the most interesting, considering the audience.

    a remarkable speaker, endlessly gratifying, Mike Rowe makes you nod over and over again with his anecdotes and asides, providing glimpses of why Western civilization is dying from the inside out and how we there is a way we can save it

    This is something I should show my dad I think he'll like.

    Brilliant, funny, and insightful talk about the value of work, and the people whom Mike profiles in his series Dirty Jobs on Discovery Channel.
