- On this special edition of “The Way I Heard It with Mike Rowe,” I chat with Todd Rose, a guy who went from 0.9 GPA high school student to Harvard Professor. Now, as CEO of the think tank Populace, Todd shares his mind-blowing research on how society misreads opinions and the huge gap between assumptions and reality.

There are more hardworking and common sense minded people than trolls. Its time for grown ups to take over
That’s right it’s Adam and Eve 👏
You are completely under estimating the number of stupid, lazy, and ignorant people in the country.
Maybe if they valued something other than their "career" it'd be better. Until they get off their lazy keester it's going to continue to spiral downward.
buddy... botnets run the trolls.
You must have not seen the asian smartphone farms (a real thing now, creating dozens of trolls from one person tapping on racks of phones.. for many different apps😮)
@@dertythegrower Perhaps both realities exist. A third reality is the silencing of those trying to speak up. All real realities at one time.
Thank you, Mike Rowe, for speaking up, and speaking out, all these years.
Mike is the sane voice in a world of insanity.

Hallelujah! Finally someone gets it. I'm a retired RN and learned along time ago, that I don't care what other people think. I do what I love to do. I no longer sit at a computer screen to see what everyone is doing on Facebook. I don't want that sort of drama in my life. I don't subscribe to X or TicTok. I watch certain shows on TH-cam or read. I'm happy. I care for my pets and love my family. I do give to charity a few times a year, but nothing that would break me at the bank. But most of all, I'm happy just being me.
I’ve been trying to get that through to my husband(he’s a people pleaser). The last day of 10 grade(1998) I was done with what people thought of me. I told him the only persons opinion I value is his. I think he’s slowly coming around.
It's too bad the nursing industry has become rife with people who care NOTHING about their job. You all really do deserve to be paid better... but if nurses were paid better, the problem would only get worse... much the same as teachers, doctors, and politicians.

I don’t think nurses need to be paid better. Nurses already are one of the highest paying jobs in my valley. Hospital is already super expensive. If you really think they all deserve to be paid better then you better make sure poor farmers and welders etc also get paid better so they then can afford more expensive nurses services at the more expensive hospitals.
I have friend that asked for money so I sent some. I used tk live in the Philippines. Anyways my friend in the Philippines gave birth and it costed $300. Sure a lot of nurses get paid less in the Philippines be so do farmers etc. but still $300 for delivering a baby is way way more affordable for a Filipino I think than what most Americans go through if they don’t have insurance.
Driver
Also when I watched Dan pena a Mexican American that now lives in a castle in England he sort of showed why hospitals are the way they are. He did some private equity deals and his lawyer was like wow that’s a lot of money when the business was sold. Pena said you’ll never make good money as a lawyer so he helped him start and mimic his process.
The lawyer went and got investors and bought up some hospitals and started making them big. That was decades ago but private equity made it so they got rid of lots of nurses. I remember one big issue in 2020 or after wasn’t the number of beds. I remember I think hearing some hospitals had more beds but had limited number of nurses cause they had cut down on costs. Probably honestly depends on which private equity group owns the hospital.
But the local hospital by me is a non profit. But they waste a lot of money to. They bought a house near the hospital and tore it down. They then put up a giant hospital sign haha. It’s like well I guess they’re trying to mimic the big hospitals up north.
@koltoncrane3099 - even with insurance, it's expensive. My wife has the 2nd best coverage in the country... and it cost us $12k out-of-pocket for our first birth, and $14k for the last one.
I knew it!
My values are not the minority!
This is why I take long breaks from social media
While you are off somewhere, the people who control social media, and have hijacked our institutions, are imposing tyranny on you. Enjoy your break.
The News is probably the most divisive .
I just don't have a facebook . . . I've never wished I could go back in time and get one!
I didn’t think I could be a bigger Mike Rowe fan…..but here I am. This content was so hopeful and encouraging. At 72 years young, I want to believe this so badly. For some reason, we as a country have turned over the megaphones to a very vocal minority and instead of nodding along to get along, we must stand up for our common sense, patriotic and long held beliefs. Mike, you are truly a gift to America and I hope many will view this and stand up. As a p.s., I adore your coffees with your mom. My son and I have a similar, humorous and loving relationship and I treasure that.
The silent majority hasn't gone anywhere, we just don't have time to chat on X. It's a little like protests... only people without jobs can spend their time protesting during the week and then the news media amplifies these opinions as if "everyone" thinks the same way
💯🎯
social media constitutes a small minority of the general population. wake TF up!
Thank you for putting this out there! I love that my junior in HS has the opportunity to take college classes at the same time as finishing is high school at no cost to is. That being said he is not taking the classes to get a degree he is taking classes to earn his electrician certifications so he can go right into an apprenticeship upon graduating HS. However the trade classes are so limited in our area that he has to drive 40 minutes each way to get to school everyday. But there is no way I was going to let that stand in the way of him giving it a try!
Congratulations! My two Gen Z kids are in the skilled trades, in their mid-twenties, and doing GREAT. Both of them are not only well-employed by companies that really appreciated them, but they also already own their own homes and have started families with loving spouses who are supportive. WE are the majority, and the current insanity will eventually blow over as people realize that the whole thing was a smokescreen by a toxic few.
I would rather judge what is going on by getting out in the world and seeing what is going on with my own eyes! The truth is out there, you just have to get out there to see it and have enough critical thinking skills to understand what you are seeing.
Very happy to be in total disagreement with the trolls! Way to go, Mike! You da man!
Last week, my sister proudly announced that my nephew has decided to enroll to train as a Firefighter/EMT. Our whole family is excited and proud. 😊 oh and he is only 16.
Dirty jobs was an amazing show. Great discussion guys thanks. If only I could learn to articulate my thoughts better. Your discussion gives a great synopsis of issues we are facing. Don't be a sheep folks be brave and try to be calm when that bravery comes out.
Apprenticeships are important, choosing a path isn’t easy, but education has nothing to do with memorizing what everyone else all ready knows.
This is absolutely correct, go out and talk to your neighbors, it’s
No where near as divided as people are led to believe. Don’t be afraid to speak up respectfully as you’d be surprised how many people actually agree with you. All these things we see and hear about via media is about 98% bs. Stay off social media as much as you can, it’ll change your outlook.
This video is BS. I've talked to my neighbors long enough to know that 98% of them are cowards to the bone, and their opinions depend completely on which way the wind is blowing at the moment. It's actually the opposite of what this video claims. The vast majority can barely be bothered to vote, let alone hold a realistic opinion of what's going on in the world. Even those who claim to be 'conservative' watch cnn and would never know the difference. If there were an once of truth to this video, our world would look vastly different than it does, because people would quickly figure out that most of them think alike. It's hard to hide from such similarities of thinking.
Respect why is it so hard to understand I grew up at a time when you didn’t shout out to the world (I demand respect) you earned it. I have worked all kinds of jobs in my lifetime and when I was given a job I respected that person for giving me the opportunity to give them the best I could and in return I got respect from them. I have never been fired from a job or left unannounced but with respect gave notice with reason. I always felt like I could go back to that job and be rehired because of the respect that I showed them. No one owes us anything least of all our govt our parents no one. We reap what we sow and we sow to gain at least that’s how I was taught and I listened. It didn’t make me financially rich but it has been so satisfying to see my family grow and follow the example that was passed on to me being passed on to my grandchildren. It can be changed but it starts with the parents not the schools respect is earned by giving the same.
How have I never seen Mike Rowe on TH-cam until right now!!! Omg i absolutely LOVE you!!! I would listen to you read me my rights with a smile
Your comment made me feel very old….😂 I’ve loved Mike for at least two decades 😊
because youtube buries smarter people who arent on their side..
aka Joe's
@@ericwiese7479 well you may have a few more years on me but my dad introduced me to dirty jobs and we never missed an episode when it was on!
You've been missing out...
It’s called censorship. 581k subscribers with roughly 114k views and even less likes. Y’all do the math on that one. I like TH-cam but hate their censorship to the point of just getting rid of it. I don’t have Facebook or any other social platforms and this makes my head hurt most of the time. The problems we have now simply didn’t exist when I was younger neither did social platforms and cell phones that you could hide behind to criticize your neighbors. You had to examine your thoughts before you opened your mouth and you didn’t have a cellphone to gaze into like a magic mirror to solve your problems and inundate yourself with everyone else’s. Keep your children off the cellphone and internet, go back to church, seek the true and living God and quit making yourself a god as we are not.
Not everyone wants to pay the outrageous costs of college or can afford to. That kind of debt always hanging over your head can make you a very unhappy person. I am so glad that someone is bringing back skilled work education opportunities!
They're not worried anymore. They'll just vote for the guy that lets them borrow money without having to pay it back. And democrats will be happy to oblige.
In a world that feels like it's gone mad- this discussion gives me hope. I truly wish every American would or could watch this. Thank you gentlemen! Mike and Tod- you are both great Americans!
An important part of making this change happen is beginning to show respect to the people doing jobs that we think we don't want. We're all in this together and we need to communicate that every day.
Not a fan of the Instagram or the Twitter so glad I chose to watch this, it's what I've always believed anyway the loud mouth gets the attention the squeaky wheel gets the oil we just need to squeak louder than they do!! love everyone & fairness to all❤ thank you for pointing this out 😊
The squeaky wheel that squeaks louder after receiving the oil gets replaced.
Really good segment. Thank you!!
I see this at work. They redid all of the office space to “open concept”. So many emails and stories on the website about how wonderful it is. Yet no one I’ve talked to enjoys it.
They all prefer the normal cubicle layout.
No doubt. There's probably a very specific domain and personality type that benefits from an open office layout. My hunch is that it is something like extroverts working in marketing. These people would also have the "loudest" voice when it comes to influencing how people work. Then you get an office full of introverted accountants whos clueless boss makes them all miserable by following the trend hyped up by the sales and marketing department.
@@robwhitesays extroversion is a pretty widely accepted personality dimension of the Big Five trait scale. Peterson et al. have broke those down into 10 aspects of the Big Five (cited over 1000 times by now, which means it's highly regarded in psychology). Google the paper and read it yourself.
Extroversion is comprised of enthusiasm and assertiveness. I have taken the test (paid) so my results can be considered accurate. My extraversion is 97 with enthusiasm of 70 and assertiveness of 95. I do fine in such social settings. Others do not, due to well-established reasons determined through years of observation.
The test and its questions are designed to show a normal distribution (bell curve) across a random sampling for each aspect/trait score. I'm more extraverted than 97 out of 100 people, for example.
Back to the point: people low in extraversion and its two aspects must have alone time and solitude to be productive. It depends on their other personality trait scores. If they're high in neuroticism, they won't be able to focus in a work environment like an open office space. They won't be able to multitask.
A quick google search yielded a paper on that: "The Association between High Neuroticism-Low Extraversion and Dual-Task Performance during Walking While Talking in Non-demented Older Adults"
The researchers found exactly what I just said (it goes even deeper than being productive at work, though). There is an extreme decline in productivity and ability to multitask for a person with such a personality. So why would you put someone like that in an open office environment or dismiss their personality as being fake?
Other traits combinations have different problems, especially when they have to work in close physical proximity to incompatible personalities. But there is no point in going into detail on it, because you've demonstrated a reductionist and dismissive attitude toward the science of psychology.
You can learn about it yourself by checking Peterson's lectures via youtube or google search with the keywords: "ten aspects of the big five personality traits".
There are biological reasons for these differences that are well-established. It's not something that you can change in someone. And for good reason. Society is balanced because of the differences.
People that are in charge of enacting policy need to be aware of this stuff. It's common sense. And common knowledge for those that have compassion for others.
Compassion is one of the aspects of agreeableness. I'm going to guess that yours is very low. Along with openness (to new ideas, which includes aesthetics and intellect). But that's okay, because you're probably high in extraversion and conscientiousness, and low in neuroticism. If that's accurate, you'd be good at running a business or being a CEO or working in sales. I don't think you'd do well in a role that required compassion or abstraction of ideas. But who knows. I'm just basing if off your dismissive attitude for others. Take the test yourself.
It's a control freak's paradise.
Narcissists would benefit.
This is fantastic. It confirms what I've thought my whole 66 years: we know how to educate but we simply do not DO IT.
Mike Rowe for president 2024!
better than any of the current candidates. but im voting 3rd party this year because the "accepted" political parties cant put out "candidates" i want to vote for.
There's a lot of naked emperors too. Tons of people afraid to say what they think, I see the tides changing though, some are realizing the stupidity of pretending!
Will the "tides change" before they let in another forty million unskilled, uneducated foreigners who will "vote" the way they want?
I haven’t thought that we are that divided! In my experience in just everyday life, we get along much more than others think!
I always enjoy what you share here on commment but we’re not friends yet, I have tried several times to send you a message but it’s not going through. So I decided to try it out and it went through, I will be happy to be one of your friend.💓 If you find this message embarrassing please pardon my manners.Thank you
I have, and continue to, present facts, with proof, that counters the narrative. As often as not, I am heckled and deluged with "talking points" that are shown to be false in my proofs. There is *no cure* for the "willfully ignorant".
You're being bombarded by the 10% of people who are massive trolls presenting themselves as representing the majority.
@@doughboy_6439 I can only hope my information gets through to a few on the left, but I suspect I am only preaching to the choir.
Thank you so much for this sanity check! All around me I see people with my same values and beliefs, but I don't see ANY of those things reflected in the legacy media or in any of th snippets of social media I come across (I don't personally have any social media accounts except for TH-cam). It's refreshing to see that my small corner of my community is probably the majority view; I always believed that in my heart, but it's nice to see that I am right! Great video and keep up the great work!
Mike I just want to thank you for being such a honest and open person. I grew up watching science channel and discovery and Dirty Jobs was a regular for me and I always loved it. Not only did it show the importance of such jobs but also you portrayed it in a light that is enjoyable and meaningful at the same time. Bravo sir bravo
Brilliant. No more needs to be said. Sending this to my entire family.
I appreciate Todd's conviction regarding the school system and how it needs to be transformed. Unfortunately, the State (and the Federal Government) are too deeply enmeshed in the public education system. The inertia that comes with having such a large, incompetent body be at the steering wheel means we can't transform it tomorrow, or next year, or even the next 5. Maybe 10 years from now? we will see. The first step is getting kids out of the Maoist indoctrination camps that public schools currently are and teach them another way.
I haven't been on social media for ten years only TH-cam to much drama 😂😂 keep on doing what your doing mike love you're channel been subscribe for a long time
honestly, you haven't missed much at all.. pretty much all of social media is a festering cesspool. but Mike's and a few other channels present the facts and encourage us to make our own conclusions not be spoon fed a narrative. Peace
Well said 👍@@martymcpeak4748
Me too! Gets a little lonely sometimes but my peace is worth it..
This has been my train of thought for many years. It's frustrating to see the world the way it is now, but I remain hopeful. Another interesting thought I recently heard and I believe rings true is, "You may know enough about a subject to believe you're right, but not enough to know you're wrong. Thank you Mike for bringing this to light.
Mike Rowe had done a great job with his work message. Glad people are jumping on board!❤❤❤
Love this 💕 thank you for posting. We the people are changing the limiting illusion you mention.
This is a great conversation to have with family and friends!!! Thank you both for sharing!!!
Great video Mike.
Please keep up the great work - we really need to have more conversations like this.
One of the reasons that a college degree (any degree) became important was that a high school diploma didn’t guarantee that the student could read.
Case in point: at the time, a future pro basketball player was allowed to graduate from high school with a third grade reading level… presumably because he could play ball well. Parents need to be involved with their kids education.
So if they couldn't read, how the hell are they gonna go to college? All it is is reading!!!!
@@Random-bm7ho remedial English and Mathematics.
@williamwenrich3288 Well, if you graduate HS, then get accepted to any collage and can't read that's a pretty big red flag as to how useless the school system is.
I know! There are men and women who graduated from Harvard and Princeton and they hardly know anything! They can barely balance their bank accounts or go to the grocery store. Paying bills? Nope, they struggle with that as well. When are their parents going to learn not to bribe the college dean for a diploma.
I don't use TicTok, Facebook & don't care what "others think". I'm a red-blooded, conservative American who has always worked with my hands & am not any happier than when repairing engine/transmissions. Love dirty jobs!
Excellent!
Love this episode (and the others I've seen). Social media has some redeeming qualities (connecting distanced friends and family), but it is largely a form of dull entertainment and cheap platform to exercise the ego. I feel that it has done far more harm than good.
Thanks Mike for all that you do!
Hi Mike.
You bring so much to the table.
Real work.
Real interactions.
Face to face human relations that mean something.
Our core to being human.
To connect ❤
Bravo! Speaking the truth, or watching someone else do it, is invigorating. Sharing this video with everyone I know.
Oh it is no longer divided.
The power of the institutions has been fully taken over.
THANK YOU for sharing this gentleman's work and message!!!
Stuff like this is why I love Mike Rowe - thanks for sharing !
This is an incredible view point. Thank you for sharing this discussion.
Very interesting. I would just suggest that it's not only important to humbly, respectfully, and honestly express your option, it is important that it is your opinion and not just what you think others want to hear. You are not paying dues to get into some club or fraternity/sorority. You are provided feedback while contributing to an honest discussion. That is where the 1st amendment plays such a vital role. Thanks for this episode Mike and Todd. Very informative. It explains a lot.
Bravo! Thank you both for bravely sharing the truth. 🎉🎉 🇺🇲
Brilliant presentation here. Indeed everyone should see this.
Great information, insightful observations, and refreshing outlook.
Thank you both for saying what needs to be said ❤
Yes, my favorite memories of school was shop class. Getting to use your hands to make something and having a teacher teach you how to make it with a lot of pushing to make it better. My favorite was my wood shop teacher was he had a paddle in case you were a problem. He used it on me and it broke, then he made me make a new one. With his instruction I made a new one that was better than the old one. A lesson that I have followed my whole life. Do it better than before.
So glad you're shining a light on this.
Speak the truth! Thank u Mike for reminding us.
It has always been and always will be a matter of self interest. Whether it is based on, belief, faith or science. This opens the entire idea for 'collective illusions'. Keep up the good work!
If I ever had my autobiography written & read aloud, I would want Mike Rowe to read it. Even over Morgan Freeman.
I'd listen to Mike Rowe reading a phone book. (for those who don't know, a phone book was a large, depending on your area, book that listed, that's right, everyone's phone number)
This is great Mike! Thank you and Todd for recreating your private convo! 🙂
Love Mike, keep preaching! ❤
Spot on as usual.
What a beacon of hope!
Thanks
I would love nothing more than to believe all of this, that it really is only a vocal 10% that's caused so much damage, but then I see the way people vote, and... It seems like a lot more than 10%.
This video is pure BS in my experience. And I have always made a habit of asking people pointed questions because I have an undying curiosity to know how people think. And it's not even in the ball park of this guys claims. I don't know where he's getting his data, but I don't think it comes from personally talking to many people. The vast majority of people are straws in the wind, and want so bad to be liked they will parrot whatever they think is the most popular view at the moment. They are also EXTREMELY non-committal in their opinions. Especially today, because the air is so thick with strife and disagreement and the threat of being called a "bigot". Most people fear being called names more than anything else. Why else would we have a political class with no backbone whatsoever?
If so many people had such firm opinions about the world, why won't a single damn one of them run for political office [other than Trump]?
Well ok, so let's say they have a secret personal opinion. What the hell good is that, if they don't have the nerve to stand up for it?
Wow, I really loved this video about "collective illusions"!
Well done, Mr. Mike Rowe!
Thanks guys. We needed this! 👍
the last 2 minutes alone, deserve a million thumbs up
Well said!
Right on! Trying to be better is more important than trying to be different” we are already different❤
Fantastic discussion. Thank you for putting this out.
Best thing I've heard on the innerweb in years! Bravo!!
Spot on, as usual. Thank you!!

My general rule has always been "never ascribe to malice what can be best explained by stupidity". However, in this case, I believe that malice or a better word Intent is more probable. I remember when PC was becoming popular in the lexicon. Looking back on that, I have come to realize that the intent back then was to suppress certain ideas and beliefs as not "correct thinking" . There was one sign i remember distinctly, " there is nothing politically correct that isn't morally correct". This was in a high school that had signage like this everywhere. The place was so shallow that if you spilled a thimble full of water in the hall, the place would have flooded. The bad part was that everyone in that school knew that the statement was horribly wrong. This has progressed from PC to speech codes, cancel culture, to the direct suppression of ideas that are not "mainstream". There was only one problem, people are starting to wake up.
Covid exposed any trust in the elites to be foolish, and played the average person as a sucker. While the elites still try and push people around, it is becoming virtually impossible for them to do so. No one is buying it any more, and the damage is done. One has only to look at Riley Gaines to see how far the elitist has fallen. More and more women are rising up to protect their rights in sports to not be competing with men. People like J.K Rowling are speaking out, and common sense is starting to make headway. I hope that your guest is right, and that there will be many inflection points to push against the many collective illusions we are experiencing now. One can only hope.
So true Mike, so true!!!
What a great discussion, loved Dirty Jobs, should make more. Agree there should be shop class, art and add life skills like budget, critical thinking and civics class!
I graduated with 1000 masters students that cannot understand Mike’s vernacular because we need to import people into our learning environment. I love the you speak at college level an challenge your listeners to understand and keep up.
It's a fantastic video! Thank you. So, true 👍
Can we add DEI to the list of things companies think are desired, but aren't?
I am not a group think kinda guy, I like the oddball opinion people have of me. It allows me to not care when I do something dumb (I still care I did something dumb) but no one else cares. Before opening this studio, I worked on the railroad, build businesses (construction) worked in the logistics of oversized loads...
...I have always been the wired guy. This video proves why I have so little stress.
BE AUTHENTIC TO YOURSELF, and others.
Thanks - I’ll keep sharing this!
Both my my kids went to a high school that had college and vocational classes. Both kids took vocational as well as college classes. One has a degree in nuclear engineering, the other is a veterinarian. Both use things that they learned in shop class. It's funny how a lot of things you see on You Tube is so out there. But the people you meet in general think like you do.
I have been praying for weeks for God to help our congress to get back on a moral path. I was not praying for them to become religious. I received a message, STAND UP. It is my place to speak out about wrongness not wait for others to do so in my stead.
No one's going to "get back" on a moral path without becoming religious. Human nature doesn't work that way. It would be like asking someone to "get back" to a hobby they never had any interest in to begin with. Morality comes from religiosity, [no matter what anyone says] because there is ZERO reason or motivation for it otherwise.
Thank you Mike and Todd.
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for your perseverance
Brilliant guys thank you
Mike, just want to let you know that, in my personal opinion, watching "Dirty Jobs" was some of the best use of my limited TV watching time. It reminded me that our very civilization rests on the backs of the people who build and maintain our infrastructure, our food production and distribution networks, and our recreation facilities. You are a wonderful presenter, and something about your style brings the stories you tell so much "to life" that watching Dirty Jobs is almost as good as being there with you and the production crew. And I don't have to risk getting bit by any snakes or attacked by an evil monkey. Keep up the good work!
Thank you Mike!!!
This makes total sense. I'm always saying that I rarely seem to run across these wackos that I see/hear on social media on a daily basis. MOST of the people you encounter are decent, common sense people.
This is the best and most accurate video on TH-cam.
This video helps put my faith back in society.
I find your perspective very illuminating. As such, it is in my best interest to do what I can to have your voice continued.
So....I'm leaving this comment to enhance your TH-cam algorithms so that you can create more videos with content from your insight.
I like the concept of psychological prosperity.
Thanks Todd and Mike
I love this! That term is something I’ll be using and knowing then 80/10 stat Twitter/X content… gold. Thank you!
Great show guys.i have never been on social media my whole life.
Love this
Amen Brother!!
We ain't gonna vote our way outta this.
Your 100% spot on, we are WAAAAAYYYY overdue for a revolution.
It's required to realign every society every 100 years or so, they all need a reset as they drift and are corrupted from their original design and intent.
This never happens automatically, it has to be chosen and implemented on purpose.
If not, the society becomes massively degenerate and corrupt, eats itself and collapses, see Rome, and dozens of others throughout history.
@@SofiaRhae Your a nutjob, so is that Oligarch guy. He's bad news like every other oligarch family and politician.
Thanks Mike!
Mike Rowe for president!
Great session!
My God I needed to hear this.
#1 priority wisdom with understanding instead of intelligence with pride n prejudice
I retired early, as an engineer, at 55. Got bored and went back to work three years later at the same company. They have adopted all sorts of non-work activities, like trivia gatherings, social hours, etc. Still, everyone is expected to get A LOT of actual work done. I don’t care about any of that extra stuff but what they also offer, that I do love, is the ability to work remotely, flexible work hours, and they didn’t blink an eye when I decided to just work part time. All they said was that they were thrilled with any time I could give them and it wasn’t an all or nothing situation.
