The Way I Heard It with Mike Rowe

Latest Episodes:

205: A King and a Crouch and Me on a Couch Jun 22, 2021

Show notes

The true story of two great teachers, two stuttering students, and two happy endings. Followed by a conversation about the beauty of "what," the danger of "how," and the timeless challenge of "trying not to try."

204: A Quick Look Over the Railing Jun 15, 2021

Show notes

The true story of the first woman to go where no man had gone before, followed by the true cost of progress, the false value of safety, and a revealing conversation about the profoundly annoying sensation of being swindled by someone you trust.

203: There's a Hole in Daddy's Arm Jun 09, 2021

Show notes

This is a sad one. But also a funny one. And frankly, a weird one. There's sentimentality and singing. Nosebleeds and narcotics. Letters from beyond the grave, and perhaps most surprising, the sudden appearance of a giant scrotum. Probably easier to just listen.

202: The Leaf Blower Stays In Jun 01, 2021

Show notes

A famous woman vanishes and triggers the largest manhunt in British history. A hundred years later, Mike loses all his money in an elaborate Ponzi scheme. Coincidence? Probably. But Chuck wonders what Mike's fictitious hero, Travis McGee, might have to say about the scandal, and Mike has some opinions on the matter – opinions that are somewhat upstaged, paradoxically, by a leaf blower.

201: Everybody Pees in the Pool May 25, 2021

Show notes

A famous athlete takes great pains to conceal his true identity from millions of fans. Then, Mike welcomes Paul Kelley back to the podcast, to discuss a series of topics too disparate and strange to articulate in a two sentence description.

200: Smart Stupid – Now With Slightly More Stupid May 18, 2021

Show notes

What do you get when you cross the most beautiful girl in the world with the funniest man on the planet? Something smart and something stupid.

199: Mothers Day - Now With Fewer Worms May 11, 2021

Show notes

It's a Mother's Day surprise, complete with tapeworms, smoke bombs, large chunks of earwax, a wall of dead mice, a fly infestation, and of course, Mike's favorite mother, with a guest appearance by Mike's favorite dad. Yeah, it's a weird one.

198: Where Do I Begin May 04, 2021

Show notes

A problem at the border, a fat man in a shiny suit, and all the thirty-five cent draft you can drink. It's a fine place to begin, even if you don't know where you're headed.

197: Everybody Run For Your Lives Apr 27, 2021

Show notes

Mike tells the true story of two friends united by their love of music, divided by their love of a girl, and the fistfight that changed rock and roll. Then, he recalls the audition that changed the course of his own career, before chatting with the old friend who made it happen, and bursting briefly into song.

196: Call It Macaroni Apr 20, 2021

Show notes

Sig Hansen from Deadliest Catch joins Mike to discuss the manliest surfer of all time, the manliest fisherman of all time, and the problems that can sometimes arise when you punch a pesky fan in the nose. Honestly, you can't make this stuff up.
