I met Nathan Fillion at Emerald City Comic-Con April 2016. I was wearing his “I Shoot First” charity shirt and wanted him to sign it, but felt weird asking. First thing he did at the meet and greet was thank me for donating and leaned over to sign my shirt. Later at the photo-op he signed the other side. One of the most positive interactions I’ve ever had with a celebrity or someone I admired their work. Stay shiny captain tight pants.
I think I was at that same con, and I had my copy of Halo 3: ODST with me just for Nathan's autograph. I'd already had Alan Tudyk sign it at a previous con. Nathan took one look at Alan's signature and said "Oh hey, that's Alan! I'm going to sign over it since I outrank him." I hope Nathan comes back to ECCC soon. Got a Cayde-6 poster waiting for him!
Watching Mike Rowe and Nathan Fillion talking and finding out they're old friends and listening to them sounding like just two regular Joe's and laughing and reminiscing about old times and stupid stunts that old friends do was great. Made my day.
I will never forget when i met nathan. It was many years ago in Edmonton South Best Buy. He was in town for the Christmas holiday season. He wasnt uber famous like now but firefly was out and popular and i think he was just about to start Castle. I had the opportunity to speak with him as he was shopping for an xbox 360 for a gift. I was the sales manager of the store at that time and no one wanted to help him so i did. He was such and down to earth person and i was so appreciative of him just chatting with me. At that time my wife and i were going through some really hard time that when i got home, she went on facebook to thank him. He responded! We chatted for a few montha after that and i will never forget it. Nathan, you are an absolute class act and thank you again for being human. I will never forget our breif yet so impactful interaction.
Where my Browncoats at... I aim to misbehave! Great episode, it's great to see how deep they run, and just two great people. :) Thanks for sharing! I did not have mushrooms in the highlife car on my bingo card. What a time.
"May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one." 🤎 "Love. Can know all the math in the 'verse but take a boat in the air that you don't love? She'll shake you off just as sure as a turn in the worlds. Love keeps her in the air when she oughta fall down...tell you she's hurtin' 'fore she keens...makes her a home."
""Long time waiting for a train don't come....." But these guys have been chugging along to get to this point..... Hailey, train is HERE....."get the Mule ready, for ground transport.... "
I remember a story about Nathan. Christmas was coming and he was broke. He made some kind of craft gift for all his close friends. That really shows you how important it is to give.
Nathan is one of the greatest comedic actors of all time. His timing and delivery are hilarious 99.99999% of the time. His character in 2 guys and a girl was fantastic
This is how much I appreciate Nathan... I don't hold the fact that he is an Edmontonian against him. It might not sound like a lot, but coming from a Calgarian it is the highest complement.
Firefly was a masterpiece. The actors as those characters. The way it really felt like a family, the chemistry. The themes of the story. I remember the first time i watched it as i started the first episode and thought "aw i dont really want to watch an action war show". But i gave it a chance because a good friend told me they knew id love it. By the end of that first episode, i was hooked. I watched it on dvd so i got to see it first in the order it was meant to be seen. Now i've lost count how many times i've rewatched it. Firefly/Serenity is a part of me right up there with Braveheart and a few others. I believe the main reason you both (Mike and Nathan) are so loved by your fans is because some actors have a thread of their true nature which shows through no matter what chacter they play. And whatever it is that shines through you both make us feel that you are human just like us. Clearly, not all actors do that. This was a wonderful conversation to listen to. Thank you both.
This was a remote drop for me. I had a couple windows open trying to decide what to watch and saw your two faces...decision made. It did not disappoint.
Hi Mike! My son just earned his Eagle Scout, and he's a senior in high school. At this point, he hasn't applied to any 4-year institutions because he doesn't want to go into debt. Thanks for helping normalize NOT jumping until college debt right after school. Would you be willing to send him a letter to read at his Eagle Scout Ceremony?
I am shaking an angry fist at the youtube algorithm because this just now popped up on my feed even though I subscribed many many moons ago. This was an epic interview/discussion. I am a huge fan of you both and had no idea your paths had ever crossed. Listening to your stories described in such vivid detail, I could imagine myself as a fly on the wall watching it for myself, and I still have the goofy grin on my face. Thanks for making my day!
Had NO idea that two of my favorite "people from Hollywood" (or NY) were such long-time buddies. Makes perfect sense, since they both seem to be the most low-drama (as in, just calm, normal, grounded) people one can ever see on television. Which, btw, is a frickin huge-ass compliment! Have followed both careers for many years and it's amazing to see all this history! Thank-you!
The feeling told at 34 mins is what makes me miss time. There was a time when friends were people and people were friends. Call your friends before you lose them. Make friends with those you don’t know to make the world feel more like a family than a graveyard.
These guys come across as some of the most humble humans I have ever seen. Gracious, genuine, and immensely talented. It offers a little hope to me the audience member, that everyone in entertainment is not a complete lunatic. Wonderful video gentlemen.
So great. I don't call myself a fan of many celebrities but both of these guys definitely fall into that small category! Being a Canadian and, I'm not shy to say, I've been a fan of Nathan Fillion since Firefly. I always got such a kick out of Mike Rowe's genuine presentation and appreciable intelligence no matter what he did. Individually would be enough. To see them together pretty good. To see them together talking with real history is too much. I've enjoy both of these guys immensely and helps with affirming to my wife that I do actually have good taste in entertainment. Laughed all the way through. Thanks Mike and Nathan. You've made my day!
Amazing conversation. Always loved Nathan since first catching Firefly. I was a massive Buffy fan, but SciFi, like Star Wars and Star Trek, was more my thing. So when I heard Joss was doing SciFi, I tuned in and was introduced to the greatest captain ever! Us old school fans have had it tough recently. The stuff we loved didn't want us anymore. Us who'd been called nerds and geeks at school are now being attacked for the stuff we loved. And so much of Hollywood piles in to attack us too. So my heart leapt when I heard those wonderful words about us fans from Nathan. Thank you. Someone gets we're passionate about our fandom and just wish those at places like Disney would realise that it's fine to progress, but don't throw out the baby with the bathwater by trashing the original fans to attract new fans. We're a sharing community, and there's room for everyone.
Nathan is one of my favorite actors. He comes across as just an honestly nice guy. It doesn't hurt that I cannot think of anything he's been in that was bad. Even the musical he played the self righteous super hero fighting Dr Horrible. Thank you for this, gentlemen, thank you!
I have to say without Bob Woods, I never would of seen Nathan Fillion, I remember first seeing him on Two Guys a Girl and a Pizzaplace, and since then I've always loved seeing any movie/tv show with Nathan in, and Dirty Jobs, I fucken loved watching it on discovery channel always a joy to watch.
he needs to do a guest star as HIMSELF... like when Rookie S1 and 2 were 'peppered' with the 'less famous' acting talents... and of course Mr. F's various co-stars through the years! it IS a show about the LAPD... and Mike still has to deal with the 'LaLaLand' folks from time to time.
Love Nathan! For a long time he was that cute guy from One Life to Live, but he's the rare actor who excells in a role and never gets typecast. I believe him as a hero or a villain - or the cross between both on Firefly. He's managed to stay a down to earth person too.
One of my favorite "fellas" on the airwaves chatting with one of my favorite "actors" on the airwaves, what a gift. Love Firefly and Serenity, loved Dr. Horrible, and love Dirty Jobs. Thank you both, gentlemen, for providing such wonderful entertainment and memory moments for nearly 3 decades. True gems in the biz!!!
Nathan is forever Malcolm Reynolds for me. Every time I see him on TV, especially when I'm not expecting him, I say "Cappy"! When I saw this thumbnail, Cappy. Met him in 2004 at a con in Atlanta. He really does look you right in the eye and makes you feel like you are the only person in line. And then the camaraderie and history between Nathan and Mike was wonderful! Loved this episode! So many great stories about paint, mushrooms, and Mexican food. So bittersweet that Mike shared that he cried when Nathan's character in Saving Private Ryan cried. 🥹 ❤ RIP Golden Ring Mall & all the Baltimore malls.
I have loved Nathan ever since he was Joey Buchanan on One Life to Live. Funny thing is that is NOT my soap. I only watched it on occasion because it came on before GH. But I got hooked on Joey, he was so good. Nathan, I have been following your career ever since, I also saw the Dr. Horrible blog. I loved it. And I love you how you and Alan have had appearances on each other's show!
Dudes! Having not one, but several laugh-out-loud belly laughs is something rare in podcasting. "How does that make you feel?" Thanks for letting us be a part of your catching up. 😄
Mike, your conversation about our gift of memory recall really resonated with me. I am so grateful to still have a brain that is intact and full of memories, and I'm 73. Memories help me deal with the loss of a loved one - I keep that person inside me by recalling the things they taught me and drawing on the lessons today. When the man of my dreams died suddenly and unexpectedly eleven years ago, after I went through the grieving period my ability for memory recall was enhanced. I would close my eyes and recall a fun situation we had shared, and I'd go back in time and be right there - remembering the surroundings, what we were doing, the weather, what we were wearing, with such accuracy that I felt I was there with him again. The memory would end and I'd return to today without sadness but being grateful for the time we spent together, and feeling good that he knew he was loved before he died. I feel the same joy that you and Nathan expressed as you explored your memories - thank you for sharing the wonder our memories can bring. I subscribed today! Sandy
@@lindaj2296 You got that right. I take certain supplements to beef my brain up; praying that they keep those neurotransmitters firing. Thank you for responding, Linda.
Love Mike Rowe and love Nathan Fillion! What a great podcast! Went to a Comic Con and stood in line for 3 hours to get my husband's Firefly pocket watch signed by Nathan and it was worth the wait. He was so gracious and I thought it was awesome to see how wonderful he treats his fans.
Do you know how happy this podcast made me? I have been a fan of Mike's since his QVC days. Became a fan of Nathan (Lane) Fallen's since Two Guys and A Girl. I LOVE that they are friends and so supportive of each other. Hope to see them do this again sometime.
These two men show exactly this thing that us guys have where, with friends, we can not see each other for years, even decades, but we can come together and pick up EXACTLY where we left off without any hesitation.
The algo is bullshit or it would have shown this to me immediately, what a mash-up. Also it makes me incredibly happy Mike stumbled upon youtube videos of his QVC appearances, those are the videos that truly made me man-love this guy
Mr. Rowe, your one of the few people I wish I knew personally, you have a real, down to earth, personality. I think your life experience has given you a true insight, and you have married that with compassion and intelligence, which makes you someone I admire and respect. P.S. Mr. Fillion and the entire cast of Firefly get my full attention whenever I catch them on TV, they are all amazing, no matter what role they play.
This was a real treat, being fans of both for decades. Knowing that these cats used to knock around together back in the day makes me smile. Thank you.
It would be a dream to sit down and have a beer with either of these two men. Stellar character, sense of humor, story telling masters and the best male role models for today. Couldn't we all learn a thing or two from Mike and Nathan? Thanks Mike, thank you so much for sharing and making the World a better place.
I'm 55, I work a lot. and my days seem to be so repetitive. (not like ground hog day LOL) If you guys show was on I I was happy to spend some time with you. You made me Laugh and take a break from my life... Thank you...
Made my day. Love you both and am thrilled that you are friends. The connections you don't know about like this and then find out about are really, really grand and quite special. Bravo for being good, lovely people that makes the world a better place.
I don't watch a lot of long TH-cam videos (usually about 15-20 minutes), but I really enjoy your interviews, Mr. Rowe. I discovered your channel not long ago, but I'm always glad to see you show up in my YT feed.
The fact that these two are friends. Astounded. Love you both Love you guys. Stay Safe. by the way 61 yrold Brownshirt still standing Nathan. Love and respect. Continue it. Now if you wish to go down a different road. find a way to remake "we,re no angles, Dovonan's Reef, or if we are going out on a limb, the wackys ship in the navy.
I love Nathan in everything he does. I watch Castle all the time still and I can't count how much I watched firefly, it truly was one of the best shows. Still have my Captain Hammer T shirt!
This is way cool - love Nathan - your conversations with people are so real & gives a new aspect of who these wonderful guests are - thank you 💜 Love Castle - have rewatched it so many times - thank you guys for a breath of fresh air 🎉
Mike, I thoroughly enjoy listening to you no matter what you are talking about. A comforting voice of reason and integrity is a rare thing these days... I wish that I had gotten into the trades earlier in my life. I've been a machinist for the past 5 years and really enjoy it. I recently switched to a company that has a lot of mine clients and there are some huge parts that come through there. I've seen pictures of a 140,000lb shaft that was repaired here and I can't wait to work on some big stuff. Thanks for all you do. Oh yeah, Nathan, I really enjoyed Firefly and your character and not knowing much more about you I am glad that Mal's character seems to be pretty damn close to who you are in real life. Mike being your friend speaks volumes of your character and this podcast is probably one of the most entertaining and honest things I have ever seen on youtube!
Probably one of the best podcast I have seen of yours. Seeing two old friends relive their sometimes confusing moments is a true blessing. Cheers to you both.
I never subscribed to anything faster then this channel, that I didn't even know existed. My favourite Mike Rowe quote is from when he was hosing down those huge waste facility waterpumps and the backspritz landed square on his face. "I gotta learn to keep my g.. da.. mouth shut!!" To this day whenever I do an oopsie, that is the voice and the phrase I hear in my head. Allso, back in the days Mike Rowe helped both of my newborn sons fall asleep faster, especially if they were sick. And last but not least, shout out to Nathan, I loved him in "The Birdcage" 😂❤❤❤😂
I am in Heaven right now. As a certified Browncoat, and Mike Roweworks maniac, it completely justified my life to find out that these two not only knew each other, back in the day, but were fast friends. It just makes sense now.
Just got finished watching an episode of CASTLE this evening; wonderful ensemble cast. Watching Nathan since the soaps. Enjoying your memories- the fabric of your lives. Great comedic timing always.
I feel like I'm sitting in a corner booth of a cosy pub, sipping a pint and listening to the stories roll. Two of my favourite personalities and their memories. Thanks, Mike. Thanks, Nathan. Sláinte mhaith, lads! 🍻

I will be forever angry about Firefly.
Let it go. The empire won. All that’s left is to get some friends, run a small business. Stay free in your mind.
It's the only time that I've ever written to a network to beg them not to cancel a show.
Oh my gosh! Me too!
Be glad we got what we got.
Yes!
Less of a podcast and more like hanging out listening to two friends tell stories. Wow thank you
Like Rogan talking to Trump👍
If like this then you should look up the unsubscribe podcast
That's something about the best podcasts. They feel more like normal conversations with interesting people. The less forced the better.
Bromances are the best.
Watching Castle for the 2nd time 😊
Wow. Two of my favorite people having a conversation.
I was just about to post the same comment. thank you for taking the words from my mouth 🙂
Ditto
And that they use to run wild together back in the day.
IKR! I was going to say the same thing.
I met Nathan Fillion at Emerald City Comic-Con April 2016. I was wearing his “I Shoot First” charity shirt and wanted him to sign it, but felt weird asking. First thing he did at the meet and greet was thank me for donating and leaned over to sign my shirt. Later at the photo-op he signed the other side. One of the most positive interactions I’ve ever had with a celebrity or someone I admired their work.
Stay shiny captain tight pants.
I still have my shirt too! Nathan is a very breed of genuine. You just don't see it that often at his level of success in the film industry.
I think I was at that same con, and I had my copy of Halo 3: ODST with me just for Nathan's autograph.
I'd already had Alan Tudyk sign it at a previous con. Nathan took one look at Alan's signature and said "Oh hey, that's Alan! I'm going to sign over it since I outrank him."
I hope Nathan comes back to ECCC soon. Got a Cayde-6 poster waiting for him!
Watching Mike Rowe and Nathan Fillion talking and finding out they're old friends and listening to them sounding like just two regular Joe's and laughing and reminiscing about old times and stupid stunts that old friends do was great. Made my day.
Mine too.
Absolutely. Loved it.
They were regular joes at the time, getting some work back then, but still had not secured their place.
I didn't realize that Mike Rowe + Nathan Filion would end up being the best zen I could ever ask for. Thanks, gentlemen. This made my day
Firefly is still my favorite show of all time.❤
So much potential lost.
I will never forget when i met nathan. It was many years ago in Edmonton South Best Buy. He was in town for the Christmas holiday season. He wasnt uber famous like now but firefly was out and popular and i think he was just about to start Castle.
I had the opportunity to speak with him as he was shopping for an xbox 360 for a gift. I was the sales manager of the store at that time and no one wanted to help him so i did. He was such and down to earth person and i was so appreciative of him just chatting with me.

Two of my favorite guys in the whole world and I had no clue they knew each other until today. What a freaking treat!
I'm blown away these pair know each other. Mike came on my radar with Dirty jobs. Nathan has been a fav since Firefly. This is just awesome
Same thoughts!!!
+
Agreed. This is an amazing episode. The conversation I never knew I wanted to be a "fly on the wall" for until now.
Where my Browncoats at... I aim to misbehave! Great episode, it's great to see how deep they run, and just two great people. :) Thanks for sharing! I did not have mushrooms in the highlife car on my bingo card. What a time.

Nathan is one of the greatest comedic actors of all time. His timing and delivery are hilarious 99.99999% of the time.
His character in 2 guys and a girl was fantastic
I would put him up there in the same class as Red Skelton and Lucila Ball.
This is how much I appreciate Nathan... I don't hold the fact that he is an Edmontonian against him. It might not sound like a lot, but coming from a Calgarian it is the highest complement.

Thanks for helping normalize NOT jumping until college debt right after school. Would you be willing to send him a letter to read at his Eagle Scout Ceremony?
Phenomenal episode, but then, how could a conversation between these two people NOT be phenomenal.
This episode, gave me all the feels just when I needed them. I have always been a fan of both Nathan Fillion and Mike Rowe.

I made it to 75 YO. Married to my first wife for 54 years, 11 months. I am remembering events from decades ago. Thank you.
Two guys comfortable in their skin and where they are in life, what a pleasure to listen to.
This is what the youngest generations are missing. Human connection to build lasting memories.
I loved you in “Last Man Standing “! Tim Allen is a great actor and comedian, you fit in perfectly as his brother. Loved this with Nathan!
It's amazing that Allen waited on him and they would do a movie and series together.
Nathan parents did a great job. raising him right!
I could listen to you three chat all day! Love Nathan Fillion, currently binge-watching Castle.
Same here, also watching the Rookie.
Amazing conversation. Always loved Nathan since first catching Firefly. I was a massive Buffy fan, but SciFi, like Star Wars and Star Trek, was more my thing. So when I heard Joss was doing SciFi, I tuned in and was introduced to the greatest captain ever!

Wonderful podcast. Very much enjoyed hearing from these guys. But...the thought of a podcast with Nathan and Alan Tudyk? Heaven!
I love Mike Rowe’s podcasts. This is one of my favorite episodes he has ever done. I didn’t know I needed them to be friends, but it made my day.
What a fantastic suprise for my day! Love Nathan.

It would be great to see Mike on The Rookie.
based on this interview you are guaranteed that Nathan will make that happen!
I didn’t know the Rookie was still making episodes. Is it still anti cops or was that just a phase? I liked that show.
he needs to do a guest star as HIMSELF... like when Rookie S1 and 2 were 'peppered' with the 'less famous' acting talents... and of course Mr. F's various co-stars through the years! it IS a show about the LAPD... and Mike still has to deal with the 'LaLaLand' folks from time to time.
Gahd, Mike, your voice is as good as BP meds for slowing down heart rates and stress levels.
Nathan's does that for me, too. Love Mike's also.
Just hear me out, Groundhog day 2 staring Nathan 😂 what an movie that would make
Yes
Never happen..
These days it would have to be non male and non white..
Just for approval..
Never happen..
Wrong race and sex..
This would be a remake I'd be delighted to see, for a change.
Hell yeah. A podcast with Nathan and Alan Tudyk would be awesome. Once Alan's finished shooting season 4 of Resident Alien, though. No more delays.
Great conversation with two really interesting guys. Thanks for sharing this.
I still think Firefly was robbed.
Love Nathan! For a long time he was that cute guy from One Life to Live, but he's the rare actor who excells in a role and never gets typecast. I believe him as a hero or a villain - or the cross between both on Firefly. He's managed to stay a down to earth person too.
One of the coolest guests on your show!
Two of the best just hanging out and talking about old times.
Hell yeah. Love Nathan Fillion and Mike so this seems AWESOME

with him again. The memory would end and I'd return to today without sadness but being grateful for the time we spent together, and feeling good that he knew he was loved before he died. I feel the same joy that you and Nathan expressed as you explored your memories - thank you for sharing the wonder our memories can bring.

That's a huge part of why Alzheimers & Dementia are so DEVASTATING.😭
@@lindaj2296 You got that right. I take certain supplements to beef my brain up; praying that they keep those neurotransmitters firing. Thank you for responding, Linda.
This was a beautiful episode. Thank you, Mike and Nathan, for taking us along Memory Lane with you both.
This has to be one of the greatest podcasts and conversations ever. Two men with truly epic voices and two great human beings reminiscing.
Love Mike Rowe and love Nathan Fillion! What a great podcast! Went to a Comic Con and stood in line for 3 hours to get my husband's Firefly pocket watch signed by Nathan and it was worth the wait. He was so gracious and I thought it was awesome to see how wonderful he treats his fans.
Do you know how happy this podcast made me? I have been a fan of Mike's since his QVC days. Became a fan of Nathan (Lane) Fallen's since Two Guys and A Girl. I LOVE that they are friends and so supportive of each other. Hope to see them do this again sometime.
Now this is a long form video I can watch without getting bored and fast forwarding through it. Thanks for the entertainment.
These two men show exactly this thing that us guys have where, with friends, we can not see each other for years, even decades, but we can come together and pick up EXACTLY where we left off without any hesitation.
The algo is bullshit or it would have shown this to me immediately, what a mash-up. Also it makes me incredibly happy Mike stumbled upon youtube videos of his QVC appearances, those are the videos that truly made me man-love this guy
Mr. Rowe, your one of the few people I wish I knew personally, you have a real, down to earth, personality. I think your life experience has given you a true insight, and you have married that with compassion and intelligence, which makes you someone I admire and respect. P.S. Mr. Fillion and the entire cast of Firefly get my full attention whenever I catch them on TV, they are all amazing, no matter what role they play.
2 my favorite people. Nathan, I only love u more. What a joy this evening was. Thank u both.
I love these guys so much. When i'm on my deathbed, i'm gonna think back and go, Nathan and Mike, wow. They made life worth living
This was a real treat, being fans of both for decades. Knowing that these cats used to knock around together back in the day makes me smile. Thank you.
Im only 10 minutes in and this maybe be the single best thing I watch in 2024.
This touched a completely new place in my heart for this podcast. Thanks, guys, for letting us have a glimpse into your friendship!
This is the most fun I have had in YEARS, listening to two guys talking about anything. JUST MAGIC.
Seeing these two together and finding out they are old friends reassures me of the good that i thought i saw in each of them is real. What a treat.
It would be a dream to sit down and have a beer with either of these two men. Stellar character, sense of humor, story telling masters and the best male role models for today. Couldn't we all learn a thing or two from Mike and Nathan? Thanks Mike, thank you so much for sharing and making the World a better place.
I'm 55, I work a lot. and my days seem to be so repetitive. (not like ground hog day LOL) If you guys show was on I I was happy to spend some time with you. You made me Laugh and take a break from my life... Thank you...
Great chat. Thanks for letting us sit in on it. I have a new found appreciation for Nathan Fillion.
Made my day. Love you both and am thrilled that you are friends. The connections you don't know about like this and then find out about are really, really grand and quite special. Bravo for being good, lovely people that makes the world a better place.
I don't watch a lot of long TH-cam videos (usually about 15-20 minutes), but I really enjoy your interviews, Mr. Rowe. I discovered your channel not long ago, but I'm always glad to see you show up in my YT feed.
Dr. Horrible, truily one of my fav shows. Gosh. PURE MAGIC!
I have not enjoyed an show in so long as i have this one. Soooooo upfront and natural. Thank you!! Love you both so much.
I am loving and hating my life right now. God bless these two amazing men.
Nathan is incredible. My Captain.
Two of my absolute favorite men in this world. I respect their work, personality and their attitudes. Thank you for this.
The fact that these two are friends. Astounded. Love you both Love you guys. Stay Safe. by the way 61 yrold Brownshirt still standing Nathan. Love and respect. Continue it. Now if you wish to go down a different road. find a way to remake "we,re no angles, Dovonan's Reef, or if we are going out on a limb, the wackys ship in the navy.
You mean Browncoat, right?
Brown shirt ? 😂
I love Nathan in everything he does. I watch Castle all the time still and I can't count how much I watched firefly, it truly was one of the best shows. Still have my Captain Hammer T shirt!
"If you can't do something smart, do something right!" --Best advice for 2024 I'd say!
This is way cool - love Nathan - your conversations with people are so real & gives a new aspect of who these wonderful guests are - thank you 💜
Love Castle - have rewatched it so many times - thank you guys for a breath of fresh air 🎉
The two most influential people in my entire life, having an interview together, my mind is blown!!
Mike, I thoroughly enjoy listening to you no matter what you are talking about. A comforting voice of reason and integrity is a rare thing these days... I wish that I had gotten into the trades earlier in my life. I've been a machinist for the past 5 years and really enjoy it. I recently switched to a company that has a lot of mine clients and there are some huge parts that come through there. I've seen pictures of a 140,000lb shaft that was repaired here and I can't wait to work on some big stuff. Thanks for all you do.
Oh yeah, Nathan, I really enjoyed Firefly and your character and not knowing much more about you I am glad that Mal's character seems to be pretty damn close to who you are in real life. Mike being your friend speaks volumes of your character and this podcast is probably one of the most entertaining and honest things I have ever seen on youtube!
This might be the best thing I've ever watched on the internet.
What a beautiful conversation. Thank you for sharing this with me/all of us.
Probably one of the best podcast I have seen of yours. Seeing two old friends relive their sometimes confusing moments is a true blessing. Cheers to you both.
I never subscribed to anything faster then this channel, that I didn't even know existed.
My favourite Mike Rowe quote is from when he was hosing down those huge waste facility waterpumps and the backspritz landed square on his face. "I gotta learn to keep my g.. da.. mouth shut!!"
To this day whenever I do an oopsie, that is the voice and the phrase I hear in my head.
Allso, back in the days Mike Rowe helped both of my newborn sons fall asleep faster, especially if they were sick.
And last but not least, shout out to Nathan, I loved him in "The Birdcage" 😂❤❤❤😂
I am in Heaven right now.
As a certified Browncoat, and Mike Roweworks maniac, it completely justified my life to find out that these two not only knew each other, back in the day, but were fast friends. It just makes sense now.
Thank you Mike & Nathan for taking the time to enable us to see you both more clear and for all you do for us.
LOVED this conversation. Thanks Mike. ❤
Mike Rowe is a national treasure and frankly so is Nathan. This was exceptional. THANK YOU.
Just got finished watching an episode of CASTLE this evening; wonderful ensemble cast. Watching Nathan since the soaps. Enjoying your memories- the fabric of your lives. Great comedic timing always.
Always great to hear the 3 of you
I feel like I'm sitting in a corner booth of a cosy pub, sipping a pint and listening to the stories roll. Two of my favourite personalities and their memories. Thanks, Mike. Thanks, Nathan. Sláinte mhaith, lads! 🍻
