Gabby just articulated my 4 pillars of health. 1. Nutrition-you are what you eat, so eat a healthy diet. 2. Exercise-your body is designed to move, so move it in a significant way each day. 3. Stress management- Stress is a killer, so learn how to manage your stress. 4. Sleep- Sleep is when your body repairs and cleans itself, so get good sleep.
Totally agree. Start early. Never stop. Eat right, exercise, control stress and get lots of sleep. U have 1 body and 1 brain. Respect it. Love yourself. Enjoy spending time with yourself. Know who you are.
I agree. I want to hear her podcast, love Mike Rowe, and am actually wondering what her daughters would say their parents taught them. I’m going to suggest they “C”ontribute to hers or do their own.
Mike, I distinctly remember you on QVC very late one night. I was awake with my newborn and I was laughing at your entertaining presentation of cooking tools. You made me laugh and really helped me through a long and lonely night, so thank you!
Gabby has more talent and smarts in one of her pinky fingers than I will ever have! But to be completely honest...@MikeRowe I'm in love with this long format, your personality, your cadence, and your worldly experience make every interviewee a pleasure to learn about. Thank you for all that you have given and continue to give to this world!!
I'm nearly 6ft. My beloved was only 5'4", but he had such a BIG personality that when watching him approach from a distance, it was ALWAYS a surprise when he only reached my chin upon arrival. I asked him if our height difference ever bothered him. His reply, "HELL NO! Because how awesome must I BE, to catch and keep such a beautiful, intelligent, capable and kind Amazonian?"
Lol I was thinking i must be really out of touch. I didn't know who her or her husband was. Glad Mike had her own, she's definitely someone I would like to follow and hear her perspective on things.
@@texastornado1195 I remember her but couldn't tell you when. :0) I want to say 1990s, but ... Remember when she met Laird, because they're just this gorgeous couple and his name is unique. I'm super helpful aren't I? PS - she is my age. 54. Wow.
@amylynnhunt55 they are the couple that makes you want to barf because they seem so perfect lol. Yet gives you hope that the above average relationship is possible, 💓
Amazing interview , shes a treasure. {not in a 75 year old creepy way} I had 3 children with my wonderful wife and after they left home, I thought I had failed, it wasn't until years later I would be talking to them and they would say, I remember "you always said", and I realized , they were listening and thinking , it was me that didn't understand. I do the same thing with my grandchildren and they sometimes try to shock me or see how far they can push it with me. In the back of my mind, I hope that we can share that conversation also. I feel like humanity is at a major crossroads, we have a choice to either roll over and let someone else drive , or we can say no, I will drive , you are drunk , stupid and evil and I don't trust you. Pretty simple. Everything else to me is nonsense.
75 year old creepy way? 75 year olds aren’t allowed to have an opinion or pay a compliment? I’m not 75 - just wondering what you meant, exactly. Also, interestingly women tend to find men that are up to 10 years older than them most attractive at least up until middle age. Then it flattens out or they even state that younger men are more attractive. It has to do in part to their earning potential. Men that use dating apps focus on women in their early to mid-20’s regardless of their age, whether in their teens, 20’s, 40’s, or 70’s. Not that the women that age would have anything to do with them, but it’s the age of women all men are most attracted to physically. In both the men and women’s case, it is biology and sociology that can explain the preferences. Men subconsciously want a woman that is fertile and can successfully raise offspring. Women place a very high priority on earning potential and social status to provide for her and her potential offspring. A fit man is a bonus as he can better protect her. Creepy? Sure. Thats science for you. haha
One of the best MR podcasts I've ever heard! What a Hero Gabrielle and straightforwardly intelligent lady Gabrielle is! Blessings and joy to Mike, Gabby & L, and you too, Chuck!
Wow, I’m only 39 minutes into this and I believe this is the best interview/ interaction I’ve ever seen. No yelling to get your point across, just two people sharing thoughts and ideals and able to answer intelligently and respectfully. This should be a lesson in journalism classes everywhere. Thanx to both of you for showing us there is still hope.
So true! Great podcast. I just wish people could communicate without vulgarity or euphemism of such. Why do people have to say "fricken" or any other cuss words?
@@nailbanger2 Because it's just good common-sense to promote the qualities of integrity and empathy, and have an example of how they can be used in a person's life. If a person can't see the value in that, then it only reinforces the need for it to be taught in school, all the more.
Oh Hell No! I have had entirely too much of someone telling me what to think ,say or do. I'm pretty sure Mike would agree. Advise, recommend, coach, encourage, are all good. Mandatory is under threat of punishment. Since we don't really have a say in who or what gets to set up what is mandatory I would rather not have any. Would you want me telling you what to do? Not if you cherish the idea of free will.
@@OldSneelock I get Your point; problem is twisted rot is already everywhere, in the music, movies, media, and sadly the whole education system. Our exposure to it is almost impossible. Having a counterpoint was the idea behind the original comment, I guess, but I do see Your point. Free will is key to a loving, caring society. Even when it comes to what's good, and even in the face of what's bad.
At minute 29 Gabby talked about telling the truth as it related to not sponsoring something she would not use. She said, "That is one of the big rules, 'telling the truth.'" I immediately thought of the scripture verse, "A good name is worth more than silver and gold." Proverbs 22:1. Well done. Great interview.
The ultimate compliments of a podcast are as follows. Wow, that time went by fast. And you left me wanting more. Outstanding, Mike and Gabby. Thanks for posting it.
Gabby what wonderful guest, a breath of fresh air. A realist with a sense of humor also Gabby seems to be one of the gals that can hang with the guys and the guys don’t have to tip toe around being guys.
I have always enjoyed Mike Rowe, but geez, I truly love these podcasts and the TH-cam videos just involving Mike. Always seems so genuine and insightful.... Plus the respect, inquisitive nature, and just everything has made my days better and I wish nothing but good times and happiness. 😊🌎❤️🕺🏻
What an incredibly smart and intelligent woman. And Mike, well what can one say. That incredible voice he has to espouse such a wide and knowing vocabulary that he has so eloquently.
Great philosophical discussion. I'm 81 years old and learned, and came to understand, things about myself and my interaction with the people I work with today. You are never too old to learn.
From this interview, I'm walking away with: 1) a life-changing thought to not worry about adding but focus on what to take away 2) subscription to three podcasts, The Gabby Reese show, Andrew Huberman, and Wim Hof. Thanks Mike!
I’m not a volleyball fan, so I had no idea who she was at first, but I’m struck by her matter of fact honesty. I married a woman 46 years ago with that same self assurance combined with femininity. It’s an unbeatable combination. Great interview.
You forgot a C word Charisma. Judy Dench has it in spades, it's that unteachable thing that makes a star a star. Both you and Gabby have it as well. you cant learn it, but you can market it, its the back bone of being a performer. Also, I have been a fan of Gabby and I am reminded how intelligent, well spoken, and professional she is. A class act...
That is definitely a well said , I’m speechless stalling as I’m texting to the uuummm crap perfect well said and I’ll give benefit and hope you agree , they possibly could have got to that word if maybe longer in that segment that it would have been thought of , really you got me speechless of I guess I wish I would have thought of that . Sorry I hope you can see I can’t explain that intelligence you used that I wish I had to see think it or see it wow , sorry that is life . Stupid or your probably thinking this guy must be on something and I wish I could explain , and because of just that is why I’m babbling, so I’ll say it again “well said “ !
“Technique “ is the word is was looking and to be able to pull that word out or add it your intellect let you and I guess I would have had that at this moment lololol closer to exactly my thinking sorry again I feel like “ dam “ you got me lololo but again sorry just well done !
Hey Mikey! I liked this episode very, very much. Gabby, Chucky and you. Oh the verbal Volleyball with a few poignant spikes in between. You both exhibit the gift of nuanced "Gab" Priceless! Thank you, Mikey for all you, Chucky, Mary and your team do to keep these gems coming. Cheers, Mate.
Mike, as a fireman I never wanted the pay, just the opportunity to help my fellow neighbor as I was a volunteer. Take that pay and donate it to Mike Rowe Works please.
It is a genuine pleasure to listen to two mature adults have a meaningful conversation on several subjects. It is such a difference from the usual screeching we get from most people in media today.
I’m 56 and worked as a bellman from age 14 to 17. I had a blast and made some great money. I wasn’t happy every moment, but I look back fondly at that time in my life.
Mike, Gabby, and Chuck - This is by far, one of the best podcasts I have heard! Such great chemistry and authenticity in your conversation and it’s segues…As a ‘creative’ and an athlete, I broke all the small rules, but made kindness and compassion my priority when engaging with others.
Never seen an interview of Gabby Reece before... Honestly, I'm very impressed with her as a person. Few people, let alone celebrities, are that introspective and are capable of recognizing the situation and challenges experienced by others.
Loved the conversation. I have 3 men in my household and we all had a good laugh about a new sign I just put up, "A woman's 'be ready in 5 minutes', and a man's 'be home in minutes', mean EXACTLY the same."
I saw it too. They aren’t exaggerating what happened. One second into her recitation, the guests and the audience went completely silent. All eyes were on her. It was a good three seconds after she finished that the applause broke out and it was loud enough that the host Gramm could not be heard as they went to commercial.
I was wondering, ' eh, I like Mike and Gabby but do I want to watch this conversation?'. I did, and it has been awesome. I connected so much with both of them and what they talked about. Great conversation.
I’ve had a woman once get grumpy because I held the door for her, but that is actually quite rare. When she snapped, “I’m perfectly capable to open my own door, thank you.”, I fired right back with, “Well too bad. I’m feeling selfish today and this was for me not you. I’m just enjoying how it feels to be a true classic gentleman. So, after you.” She actually squeaked out a little grin and walked in ahead of me, lol. 😎😎😎
Reminds me of a female sociology professor I had back in the 80s who told the class that calling a woman a lady was offensive. I instantly knew that we were on the edge of the collapse of humanity.
I was holding the door open the other day for a women behind me as we were entering a convenience store together. She smiled and stopped and put out her hand in a gesture to grab the same door I was holding. She said, "Oh, it's okay. Go ahead. I've got it." I simply answered, "Oh, please. Allow me to be a gentleman. It doesn't happen very often." She didn't seem offended and allowed me to hold the door for her.
One of your best interviews - love Gabby’s holistic perspective on life. We could all benefit from listening to a cooperative and caring approach to balance out our competitive culture which isn’t making true progress. She is a wise woman.
Mr. Rowe, I have only watched this interview and the one with Neal McDonough, and I have to say that you are one of the best interviewers alive. With all respect to Dame Dench for reciting a sonnet, twice I have seen you Conceive, Craft, and Compose a sonnet through Conversation. Congratulations!
I don’t know if Gabby will see this, however my brother Cheston Williams in LV (who passed last year) had great admiration and seems to have had a friendship with you. He frequently talked about you and what a great person you are. I vaguely knew who you were from your Volleyball. Anyway, watching this, I can see why my brother had great admiration for you and watching you chat with Mike reminds me of banter I can image you having with Cheston because it played like conversations we had. Thanks for reminding me of what a great person he was, and letting me get to know you a little. Honestly, I payed attention because Cheston had frequently mentioned you.
Too little too late - great guy, love him but they are waking up too late. Not so with people like Rogan, Carlson, Pool, etc have actually been talking about current events we'd never here on this show.
I went to college with Gabby. I was a student trainer with football. We just got back from the Fiesta Bowl with brand new Nike cross trainers, and she and I were in an elevator heading up to FCA in the skybox and she looked at my shoes and said, "Those are the ugliest shoes!" Good times!
❤🇺🇲🇺🇲❤👏👏👏👏 I'm just getting introduced to Gabby here. I am impressed! She is my daughter's age whom has a son, 19, and her own 18 yr old, VERY athletic, daughter. The covid compliancy of schools has left both kids out of the running with ZERO sporting events bringing ZERO scouts to non-existent high-school events! THANK U F*UCKI!! Grandson HAD his sites set on REDBULL Cliff Diving team. He was top notch. Couldn't keep him off the diving board since he was 5. Started pro lessons in middle school AND the highschool diving team, also. Knowing colledge was not for him he started entry level carpentry. But alas the hours were not there for him. He found himself back at the Culver's he had worked at through highschool. He's a hard worker, they were glad to have him back. I can only hope that one day he'll own the place! So she, my other grand, had to enroll in a state school that she IS excited about, much more so than I. She is going to make up for that freshmen year of highschool that THAT F*UCKI robbed her of, via this college experience. Idk... wishing they would keep her home the first year at a local school. Maybe that liv-in, away environment will be safer. It certainly isn't out here, anywhere! Found out, her sophomore that she was a NATURAL hurtler! All speedy 5'1" of her! It was all of that keepin up with her brother that did it. Both kids Topnotch competitive gymnasts throughout gradeschool. Which took granddaughter into cheerleader as the team flyer! So proud of her. She does well. Luvs a good challenge! Great work ethic! When u r the little one, u gotta work harder to keep up! That alone will take her a long, long way in life. My grands will question THE WORLD, as do Gabby's kids, b4 complying to/with any thing! I can so PROUDLY say BOTH are MAGA TRUMPERS!! To anyone that asks they will tell them, "MAGA.ALL.THE.WAY!!" Musta been cathartic to write all this. I do think it was. I hope u've raised ur kids as well as we cuz someday they will need good ppl to be neighbors and work mates, partners with whom to conduct business with, to befriend and share experiences with as We are all in this TOGETHER... ❤ 😊 All luv to the always AMAZING MIKE ROWE
Wow, my first time watching and I've always loved to watch anything to do with Mike, because he's just so down to earth and a great user of common sense or at least what use to be common sense and knowing how to say what many of us need to hear. I certainly remember Gabby from years gone by when she and volleyball were often spoke of in the same sentence on a regular basis. These two together just made my day. Now, I'm a 70 year old retired shipbuilder and I worked both in the trades as well as in Supervision so I was on both sides of the equation, building ships for the US Navy. So much of what you both had to say is so very meaningful for so many of us but especially to those coming behind us who seem to be lost and living in a world of fantasy. NOT ALL, but certainly too many I think this pod cast ought to be mandatory watching for all getting ready to make a huge choice, college or trades, science or sports or entertainment and how the long game is so much more fulfilling than a bunch of short game hits and misses. You certainly have a new sub. Thanks so much.
Mike I love your podcasts. You selection of guests is perfect. Gabby was a great guest and I learned a few things I need to work on. I am a Steamfitter and appreciate you promoting trades.
Mike's interviews are Epic in scope, substance and interviewees.It's so refreshing to hear intelligent, articulate and substantive communication that we are so lacking these days.
Howdy Mike, interview was great. Air Force had these sayings: Integrity first, service before self, excellence in all we do. Sure why not... I preferred my own condensed version. Commitment Competence Courage. Served me well for twenty years of flying and surviving. By the way I have both BS in math and MA in history, but currently a CNC machinist.
As an older man who saw Gabby in her early years and listen to this. I was thinking this would be a funny podcast, but WOW, This is I believe the best podcast to make a person think.
I. Love this episode…I’ve been a fan of Laird for years and years and Gabby is the other half of the “Hamilton equation’. I’m referencing the concept of taking care of those who take care of us in the service industry…I always tell everyone who takes care of me how much I appreciate them and I thank them profusely. In my 72 years, I’ve worked those jobs, food/retail. I grew up in a dry cleaning business and served the sick and injured for well over 20 years as a Navy Hospital Corpsman. Oh yeah, and I’ve always been a big tipper! PS: I’ve been a major Mike Rowe fan for decades! ~ ~ “Ol’ Scooter” in East Texas…
IDK how i missed this show so far, but so far I'm a big fan, very well done 🍻 Please do figure out isolation for the mics when you can. Seems common for guests to pat the table when making a point & its making a distinct bass-y "boom" every time. But again, outstanding show, really great & very needed
I always enjoyed Gabby Reece as an athlete and model, after watching this podcast I now know why. She is incredibly intelligent, and even more inportant, she is tuned in and gets how society works. My favorite thing she said is follow all society’s important rules and break all the unimportant rules. She marches to her own drummer. Her relationship to Laird seems so strong even though I sure he is a total handful. Gabby keep rockin it!
Dude. This is my first exposure to your channel. I'm loving it. As Christopher Walken might say "we need more cow bell"... we need more Mike Rowe and these conversations are the answer. Good work. It's fun to see beloved personalities in their natural habitat. I think this is what long form podcasts and interviews allow. I'll have to come back and watch your back catalogue. In case you are wondering, it's not 3 am and I have you on in the background of my home office while I'm sorting through my tax documents. Wishing you tons of success in this channel.
Too funny. When Gabby mentioned about the Luis guy at the restaurants mission is to turn snotty people, Luis nailed one of my personal super powers, lol. Learned it from the absolute master of this super power. My father. He was a very influential corporate business guy who traveled to almost every country on the planet and had close personal relationships with heads of state, royalty, and the rich and powerful around the globe. Riding his coattails was an AWESOME way to grow up. In reality, he was genuinely just an extraordinary ordinary guy. But believe me when I tell you, he was quite literally the most interesting person you’d ever meet. I say that with all sincerity. We would encounter some of the most snobby elitist buttholes ever to walk the earth at these corporate gatherings or dinners in establishments like Le Tour d’Jean in Paris, etc.. In a matter of minutes he would somehow shatter their whole one upsmanship game and bring the conversation directly into a place where dad had complete control of the tone and context. The dude was friggin’ brilliant. He was also quite gracious in sharing his methods of pulling the snobs willingly out of their comfort zone to where he owned the circle. God I miss that guy. Mom too. She was always a willing accomplice, lol. 😎😎😎
Yes , I Remember her when she started modelling. She struck me as being not very happy and the person handling her as a manipulater. Glad she turned out great and am happy for her. 🇺🇸
I’ve never heard of her until this interview. Finally learned she was in sports throughout the interview. I think it’s because I’ve lived a life and didn’t waste it and live it through others on a screen.
Gabby just articulated my 4 pillars of health. 1. Nutrition-you are what you eat, so eat a healthy diet. 2. Exercise-your body is designed to move, so move it in a significant way each day. 3. Stress management- Stress is a killer, so learn how to manage your stress. 4. Sleep- Sleep is when your body repairs and cleans itself, so get good sleep.
Totally agree. Start early. Never stop. Eat right, exercise, control stress and get lots of sleep.
U have 1 body and 1 brain. Respect it. Love yourself. Enjoy spending time with yourself. Know who you are.
Nutrition hydration and oxygen every cell needs all 3 for good health
Eat as close to the dirt as you can. If a vegetable takes 2weeks to get to your plate its been dead for 2weeks.
As a father of four adult girls and grandchildren, I loved this interview. Thanks to Gabby and Mike
I agree. I want to hear her podcast, love Mike Rowe, and am actually wondering what her daughters would say their parents taught them. I’m going to suggest they “C”ontribute to hers or do their own.
I'm with you and I agree. I have 4 adult girls and six of my 9 grand kids are girls. I plan on introducing all of them to Gabby Reece.
Mike, I distinctly remember you on QVC very late one night. I was awake with my newborn and I was laughing at your entertaining presentation of cooking tools. You made me laugh and really helped me through a long and lonely night, so thank you!
Gabby has more talent and smarts in one of her pinky fingers than I will ever have!

Excellent conversation! Please do bring Gabby back with Laird.
Absolutely!
Never watched volleyball, really never watched women's sports at all, and vaguely knew who Gabby is but wow what a cool lady. Great interview.
I watched an interview with Laird a few weeks ago and never put 2 & 2 together on who his wife was. Awesome couple!
Lol I was thinking i must be really out of touch. I didn't know who her or her husband was. Glad Mike had her own, she's definitely someone I would like to follow and hear her perspective on things.

the voice that sold a thousand cat bags. the myth, the legend Mike Rowe
Hey, I bought one of those cat-bags! My cats loved it, until they scratched it to shreds. It was a fun toy, but not very enduring.

What an incredibly smart and intelligent woman. And Mike, well what can one say. That incredible voice he has to espouse such a wide and knowing vocabulary that he has so eloquently.
Mike and Gabby are communicating on another level: mesmerizing.
😂😂😂
People that live life on purpose and have the ambition to participate at their maximum potential are all like this.
Open and honest about life and sex. And a lot of emotion is sexually driven. To ignore that is silly.
Thank you Mike for putting these podcast on TH-cam!! 👏👏👏👍

That is definitely a well said , I’m speechless stalling as I’m texting to the uuummm crap perfect well said and I’ll give benefit and hope you agree , they possibly could have got to that word if maybe longer in that segment that it would have been thought of , really you got me speechless of I guess I wish I would have thought of that . Sorry I hope you can see I can’t explain that intelligence you used that I wish I had to see think it or see it wow , sorry that is life . Stupid or your probably thinking this guy must be on something and I wish I could explain , and because of just that is why I’m babbling, so I’ll say it again “well said “ !
“Technique “ is the word is was looking and to be able to pull that word out or add it your intellect let you and I guess I would have had that at this moment lololol closer to exactly my thinking sorry again I feel like “ dam “ you got me lololo but again sorry just well done !
Hey Mikey! I liked this episode very, very much. Gabby, Chucky and you.
Oh the verbal Volleyball with a few poignant spikes in between. You both exhibit the gift of nuanced "Gab" Priceless!
Thank you, Mikey for all you, Chucky, Mary and your team do to keep these gems coming. Cheers, Mate.
I can’t believe how much I learned from this. Not sure how it popped up but I’m so
Glad I took the time to listen. R great people.
Mike, as a fireman I never wanted the pay, just the opportunity to help my fellow neighbor as I was a volunteer. Take that pay and donate it to Mike Rowe Works please.
this conversation is helping swing the pendulum back to sanity, common sense and humanity. Thank-you Mike and Gabby,
Fantastic interview, simply fantastic. I LOVE Gabby’s idea of follow the big rules, break the little rules, simply tremendous.
It is a genuine pleasure to listen to two mature adults have a meaningful conversation on several subjects. It is such a difference from the usual screeching we get from most people in media today.
These new episodes being recorded with Mike, Chuck, and guest all in a studio are phenomenal.
Laird and Gabby are the epitome of athletic prowess, grace, on the edge...bringing on home...Bamm! Amazing to watch in action. Amazing feats....
I’m 56 and worked as a bellman from age 14 to 17. I had a blast and made some great money. I wasn’t happy every moment, but I look back fondly at that time in my life.
My favorite boss remarked “I want you to do what I asked, but I don’t want ‘malicious compliance’” LOL.😅
I really enjoyed the whole conversation and interaction. Thank you.
Just subscribed. What a great conversation. Agree with this whole conversation. Thanks Mike and Gabby.
What a bright, engaging woman. Not just a star athlete. Great interview!!! Love you Mike!!
Please keep posting the interviews!! I love being able to see the faces!!
OMFG! Mike, that has to be one of the best interviews I have ever seen! Bravo, mike from a long-time fan of the podcast.
Wow!! Thank you Mike and Gabby! Excellent discussion.
Love the conversation! Thanks Gabby and Mike!!
One of the most interesting pod cast I have ever watched; thank you. And I was always a fan a Gabby, she rocks!
Gabby was a few years behind me in school oh so long ago at Antilles School in St Thomas USVI. She stood out from the crowd even in elementary school.
Have a brother who shared a class with her at FSU, and he said the exact same thing. 👍
6’3 will stand out everywhere as a woman
My favorite adjective that Mike used to describe Gabby was “an original.” Great interview! Enjoyed every moment.
Mike, Gabby, and Chuck - This is by far, one of the best podcasts I have heard! Such great chemistry and authenticity in your conversation and it’s segues…As a ‘creative’ and an athlete, I broke all the small rules, but made kindness and compassion my priority when engaging with others.
Never seen an interview of Gabby Reece before... Honestly, I'm very impressed with her as a person. Few people, let alone celebrities, are that introspective and are capable of recognizing the situation and challenges experienced by others.
Loved the conversation. I have 3 men in my household and we all had a good laugh about a new sign I just put up, "A woman's 'be ready in 5 minutes', and a man's 'be home in minutes', mean EXACTLY the same."
Yes men do it too, we all do. How long is 15 minutes in football? 😅
I saw that Dame Dench clip the other day and it was beautiful. This was a very interestimg conversation. Thanks to all 3 of you
I saw it too. They aren’t exaggerating what happened. One second into her recitation, the guests and the audience went completely silent. All eyes were on her. It was a good three seconds after she finished that the applause broke out and it was loud enough that the host Gramm could not be heard as they went to commercial.
I stopped to watch it in the middle of this, and WOW, just WOW. She deserved a standing O for that!
Mike is great. 🇺🇲
Sheer delight, thank you both ! Had been previously unfamiliar with A. Hope to see you 2 together again. 👍👍😺
I was wondering, ' eh, I like Mike and Gabby but do I want to watch this conversation?'. I did, and it has been awesome. I connected so much with both of them and what they talked about. Great conversation.
I’ve had a woman once get grumpy because I held the door for her, but that is actually quite rare. When she snapped, “I’m perfectly capable to open my own door, thank you.”, I fired right back with, “Well too bad. I’m feeling selfish today and this was for me not you. I’m just enjoying how it feels to be a true classic gentleman. So, after you.” She actually squeaked out a little grin and walked in ahead of me, lol. 😎😎😎
Reminds me of a female sociology professor I had back in the 80s who told the class that calling a woman a lady was offensive. I instantly knew that we were on the edge of the collapse of humanity.
Thats awesome ❤
Brilliant. I am going to steal that one!!!!!!
Rizzler king 👑
I was holding the door open the other day for a women behind me as we were entering a convenience store together. She smiled and stopped and put out her hand in a gesture to grab the same door I was holding. She said, "Oh, it's okay. Go ahead. I've got it."
I simply answered, "Oh, please. Allow me to be a gentleman. It doesn't happen very often."
She didn't seem offended and allowed me to hold the door for her.
Mike is sooo well-spoken. Wow. As a word man myself, he sprinkles his dialogue with the just the perfect amount of semi-chilling words haha. Love him.
This is the very best interview I have ever heard. Interesting, entertaining and so enlightening.
I watched Mike's QVC shows over and over and again. He was great!! Hysterical and quite lovely.
Did you tape them?...
They are on TH-cam.
@@Padeline It was a joke sweetie. Did you listen to this interview?
One of your best interviews - love Gabby’s holistic perspective on life. We could all benefit from listening to a cooperative and caring approach to balance out our competitive culture which isn’t making true progress. She is a wise woman.
Mr. Rowe, I have only watched this interview and the one with Neal McDonough, and I have to say that you are one of the best interviewers alive. With all respect to Dame Dench for reciting a sonnet, twice I have seen you Conceive, Craft, and Compose a sonnet through Conversation. Congratulations!
Breath of fresh air!!!!
Captivating conversation and insightful. Thank you to both!
Really enjoyed this podcast today!I love to hear intelligent adults who get the reality of things!
Great interview! I will definitely be checking out the Gabby Reece Podcast.
I don’t know if Gabby will see this, however my brother Cheston Williams in LV (who passed last year) had great admiration and seems to have had a friendship with you. He frequently talked about you and what a great person you are. I vaguely knew who you were from your Volleyball. Anyway, watching this, I can see why my brother had great admiration for you and watching you chat with Mike reminds me of banter I can image you having with Cheston because it played like conversations we had. Thanks for reminding me of what a great person he was, and letting me get to know you a little. Honestly, I payed attention because Cheston had frequently mentioned you.
Love this interview, Thanks! So great to know there's like-minded, great people out there.
How is this not the top rated podcast? Interesting, intelligent, intellectual, insightful. Ah damn we were on “c” words. 🤙🏻
He's turned into a total loser is why.
Too little too late - great guy, love him but they are waking up too late. Not so with people like Rogan, Carlson, Pool, etc have actually been talking about current events we'd never here on this show.
Thanks for the wonderful stories, laughs and perspectives on life. What a wonderful conversation. :)
I went to college with Gabby. I was a student trainer with football. We just got back from the Fiesta Bowl with brand new Nike cross trainers, and she and I were in an elevator heading up to FCA in the skybox and she looked at my shoes and said, "Those are the ugliest shoes!" Good times!
❤🇺🇲🇺🇲❤👏👏👏👏
I'm just getting introduced to Gabby here. I am impressed! She is my daughter's age whom has a son, 19, and her own 18 yr old, VERY athletic, daughter. The covid compliancy of schools has left both kids out of the running with ZERO sporting events bringing ZERO scouts to non-existent high-school events! THANK U F*UCKI!! Grandson HAD his sites set on REDBULL Cliff Diving team. He was top notch. Couldn't keep him off the diving board since he was 5. Started pro lessons in middle school AND the highschool diving team, also. Knowing colledge was not for him he started entry level carpentry. But alas the hours were not there for him. He found himself back at the Culver's he had worked at through highschool. He's a hard worker, they were glad to have him back. I can only hope that one day he'll own the place! So she, my other grand, had to enroll in a state school that she IS excited about, much more so than I. She is going to make up for that freshmen year of highschool that THAT F*UCKI robbed her of, via this college experience. Idk... wishing they would keep her home the first year at a local school. Maybe that liv-in, away environment will be safer. It certainly isn't out here, anywhere! Found out, her sophomore that she was a NATURAL hurtler! All speedy 5'1" of her! It was all of that keepin up with her brother that did it. Both kids Topnotch competitive gymnasts throughout gradeschool. Which took granddaughter into cheerleader as the team flyer! So proud of her. She does well. Luvs a good challenge! Great work ethic! When u r the little one, u gotta work harder to keep up! That alone will take her a long, long way in life.
My grands will question THE WORLD, as do Gabby's kids,
b4 complying to/with any thing!
I can so PROUDLY say BOTH are MAGA TRUMPERS!!
To anyone that asks they will tell them, "MAGA.ALL.THE.WAY!!"
Musta been cathartic to write all this. I do think it was. I hope u've raised ur kids as well as we cuz someday they will need good ppl to be neighbors and work mates, partners with whom to conduct business with, to befriend and share experiences with as
We are all in this
TOGETHER... ❤ 😊
All luv to the always
AMAZING
MIKE ROWE
good story bro
She's honest lol
Haha, what did you say?
So was she hot? Did she stink? Did she walk out first of the elevator? Did your eyes drift? Come on bro give us the tea.
Wow, my first time watching and I've always loved to watch anything to do with Mike, because he's just so down to earth and a great user of common sense or at least what use to be common sense and knowing how to say what many of us need to hear. I certainly remember Gabby from years gone by when she and volleyball were often spoke of in the same sentence on a regular basis. These two together just made my day. Now, I'm a 70 year old retired shipbuilder and I worked both in the trades as well as in Supervision so I was on both sides of the equation, building ships for the US Navy. So much of what you both had to say is so very meaningful for so many of us but especially to those coming behind us who seem to be lost and living in a world of fantasy. NOT ALL, but certainly too many I think this pod cast ought to be mandatory watching for all getting ready to make a huge choice, college or trades, science or sports or entertainment and how the long game is so much more fulfilling than a bunch of short game hits and misses. You certainly have a new sub. Thanks so much.
Love the lamp behind the guests. It's Italian, Fragile "Major Award" Well done Mike 😂😂
"You used up all the glue..... ON PURPOSE! " 😂 Great film
Frah -GEE-lay 😂
Must be Italian.
Gosh I admire this woman. I’ve loved her forever, Mike too. This is just to real and wholesome and an all around great conversation.
The gift of gab interviewing Gabby
Another great guest, great interview! Wow! She's terrific!
Mike I love your podcasts. You selection of guests is perfect. Gabby was a great guest and I learned a few things I need to work on. I am a Steamfitter and appreciate you promoting trades.
Mike's interviews are Epic in scope, substance and interviewees.It's so refreshing to hear intelligent, articulate and substantive communication that we are so lacking these days.
She’s so down to earth. Love these two.
Two of my favorite people. Thanks Mike.
Howdy Mike, interview was great. Air Force had these sayings: Integrity first, service before self, excellence in all we do. Sure why not... I preferred my own condensed version.
Commitment Competence Courage. Served me well for twenty years of flying and surviving.
By the way I have both BS in math and MA in history, but currently a CNC machinist.
Gabby and Mike I could listen to you all day ! So cool ... such witticism !
This interaction is pure gold!
Never heard of Gabby before this interview but wow, she is awesome! Such clear grounded thoughtful perspectives.
Cheers!
This is the format, Mike. Keep it going.
Awesome episode. Thank you so very much!
As an older man who saw Gabby in her early years and listen to this. I was thinking this would be a funny podcast, but WOW, This is I believe the best podcast to make a person think.
Thos is amazing. Thank you Mike and Gabby for this hour of great conversation.
I. Love this episode…I’ve been a fan of Laird for years and years and Gabby is the other half of the “Hamilton equation’. I’m referencing the concept of taking care of those who take care of us in the service industry…I always tell everyone who takes care of me how much I appreciate them and I thank them profusely. In my 72 years, I’ve worked those jobs, food/retail. I grew up in a dry cleaning business and served the sick and injured for well over 20 years as a Navy Hospital Corpsman. Oh yeah, and I’ve always been a big tipper! PS: I’ve been a major Mike Rowe fan for decades!

IDK how i missed this show so far, but so far I'm a big fan, very well done 🍻
Please do figure out isolation for the mics when you can. Seems common for guests to pat the table when making a point & its making a distinct bass-y "boom" every time.
But again, outstanding show, really great & very needed
I always enjoyed Gabby Reece as an athlete and model, after watching this podcast I now know why. She is incredibly intelligent, and even more inportant, she is tuned in and gets how society works. My favorite thing she said is follow all society’s important rules and break all the unimportant rules. She marches to her own drummer. Her relationship to Laird seems so strong even though I sure he is a total handful. Gabby keep rockin it!
Dude. This is my first exposure to your channel. I'm loving it. As Christopher Walken might say "we need more cow bell"... we need more Mike Rowe and these conversations are the answer. Good work. It's fun to see beloved personalities in their natural habitat. I think this is what long form podcasts and interviews allow. I'll have to come back and watch your back catalogue. In case you are wondering, it's not 3 am and I have you on in the background of my home office while I'm sorting through my tax documents. Wishing you tons of success in this channel.
Too funny. When Gabby mentioned about the Luis guy at the restaurants mission is to turn snotty people, Luis nailed one of my personal super powers, lol. Learned it from the absolute master of this super power. My father. He was a very influential corporate business guy who traveled to almost every country on the planet and had close personal relationships with heads of state, royalty, and the rich and powerful around the globe. Riding his coattails was an AWESOME way to grow up. In reality, he was genuinely just an extraordinary ordinary guy. But believe me when I tell you, he was quite literally the most interesting person you’d ever meet. I say that with all sincerity. We would encounter some of the most snobby elitist buttholes ever to walk the earth at these corporate gatherings or dinners in establishments like Le Tour d’Jean in Paris, etc.. In a matter of minutes he would somehow shatter their whole one upsmanship game and bring the conversation directly into a place where dad had complete control of the tone and context. The dude was friggin’ brilliant. He was also quite gracious in sharing his methods of pulling the snobs willingly out of their comfort zone to where he owned the circle. God I miss that guy. Mom too. She was always a willing accomplice, lol. 😎😎😎
So down to earth. Not fully just an interview, more like a friendly conversation between everyone. Nice!
That's a name I haven't heard of in ages,Gabby Reece!
She's still a knock out.
Yes , I Remember her when she started modelling. She struck me as being not very happy and the person handling her as a manipulater. Glad she turned out great and am happy for her. 🇺🇸
36 minutes in. This conversation is pure gold! Thank you Gabby and Mike!!
Wow. Gabby's hot, cool, and smart. Great interview, Mike.
It’s nice that two people can have a conversation and not trying to top the other person with crazy stories. Well done and you have a new subscriber.
The cat sak is the best 😂😂😂
I’ve never heard of her until this interview. Finally learned she was in sports throughout the interview. I think it’s because I’ve lived a life and didn’t waste it and live it through others on a screen.
