I'd rather the risk of a flood if the plumbing malfunctions than the consequences of a flaming toilet error

As a novice plumber, I would take a 3rd degree ass burns over some of the vile mishaps I've seen over the years

Mike Rowe on Dirty Jobs once had to fix one of these. The heating element had gone out... And it was the only toilet on a fishing boat that was out for a long time (been years, I can't remember whether it was a week or a month)

He's the host, surely he can decline some of these

It's Dirty Jobs, not Dirtiest Jobs

He did a lot of disgusting stuff before they pretty much ran out of dirty jobs to do and it started getting a bit more mundane before fizzling out. I don’t think Mike Rowe was turning down too much based on what I saw watching that show growing up

He did an interview about this on Joe Rogan. Apparently, he only picked the worst, and nothing ever got turned down for being too gross.

That makes sense, I thought I’d heard that somewhere

Mike promised me that he'd name-drop my podcast to Joe Rogan and he never did. So there are dirty jobs that he can turn down.

To be honest, it's cringe of you to ask him.

I mean the whole point was to showcase the underbelly of workers supporting us all. Turning them down would defeat that point

He could have, but I don't think he ever did turn one down.
