brought enjoyed felt life people
When you were with him, you always felt you were in the right place, doing the right things. He enjoyed his life and brought life to the people he met.
dangerous exception history jobs maybe people possible ridiculous shot simplest spend
'Dirty Jobs' is maybe the simplest show in the history of TV, with the possible exception of 'The Gong Show'. I go around the country; we've shot in every state. And we spend a day with people who do jobs that are dirty or dangerous or ridiculous or difficult.
bad host joke lab normally people perpetual typical work
Every bad joke, every endorsement deal, all of the things that a typical host would normally get creamed for, people don't mind, because they know I don't cheat when it comes to the work I actually try. I'm a lab rat. I'm a perpetual apprentice. The joke is on me if there is one.
arms clean good love people
Everything here is messy. Like most things, you can keep yourself pretty clean if you try, but the people who are really good at it and really love it are usually up to their arms in it.
smart long people
You've got a lot of very, very smart people standing by waiting for somebody else to do the work. Not a recipe for long-term solvency in my opinion.
careers people proud
People like to cherry-pick the parts of their career that they're either in the midst of or that they're the most proud of, but the truth is careers and lives are tapestries.
jobs knowing people
Happiness does not come from a job. It comes from knowing what you truly value, and behaving in a way that’s consistent with those beliefs. Many people today resent the suggestion that they’re in charge of the way they feel.Those people are mistaken. That was a big lesson and I learned it several hundred times before it stuck. What you do, who you’re with, and how you feel about the world around you, is completely up to you.
bad both either life neither people turn tv
The one thing that TV is bad at doing is preaching. There are two extremes, you either turn the people into a punchline or turn them into hero, and both of those things suck, because most people are neither in real life.
break hard last money race twice win won year
I won a lot of money for them last year and they probably put twice as much back into it. I think you could win every race and it would be hard to break even. But a person up here, we're in it for the hobby.
ball glad kids passing program shared today
We passed, we shared the ball and we were unselfish. I thought that today would have been 'me, me, me.' I'm glad it wasn't. There were a lot of kids passing the ball, being unselfish, which for our program is huge.
waged war work
We've waged war on work. We have collectively agreed, stupidly, that work is the enemy.
huge simple themes
'Dirty Jobs' is a fun, simple little show with huge themes under it. For me, it's penance, it's redemption, it's a sweaty mess.
anybody anywhere community dad dropped eighth fix grade guy knew master time work
My mother's dad dropped out of the eighth grade to work. He had to. By the time he was 30, he was a master electrician, plumber, carpenter, mason, mechanic. That guy was, to me, a magician. Anything that was broken, he could fix. Anybody anywhere in our community knew that if there was a problem, Carl was there to fix it.
