As season finales go, tonight’s episode of Dirty Jobs is a good one. We start in Logan, Utah, where the local beaver population is running amuck. Rather than kill them, which was the preferred method of beaver control for many decades, I meet Nate Norman and a group of ecologists determined to relocate them – a laborious process that involves trapping them and transporting them into the mountains where we build a dam for them, and then release them into the wild, far from the farmland and golf courses they seem bent on destroying. Along the way, we weigh them, tag them, and identify their sex, (not their gender.)
This is more complicated than you might think, since the beaver’s sex organs are inside the body. They have only one opening, a cloaca, which they use for reproduction, scent-marking, defecation and urination. It’s a very busy hole, in other words, and even though the male’s penis has a cartilaginous baculum (a bone), it’s impossible to find. The only way to determine male from female is to squeeze the fluid out of their castor gland – also located in the cloaca – onto a paper towel, and sniff it. The girl stuff smells different than the boy stuff, as you’ll learn tonight. One more thing off my bucket list…
If that’s not enough to get your attention, I head from Utah to Hollywood, to meet the special effects artist who makes all the slime and fake cement for your favorite movies and TV shows. The number of movies and TV shows that require slime and fake cement is extraordinary, and over the years, Scott Heger has made most of it. Most famously, Scott made the slime in Ghostbusters that wound up all over Bill Murry when a poltergeist exploded in his face, way back in 1984. Tonight, nearly 40 years later, the same stuff winds up all over me, and all over the Dirty Jobs logo. Looks pretty good, in my opinion. Not as good perhaps, as the musky spunk from a beaver’s castor gland, but good enough for what could be the last episode of #DirtyJobs ever produced. Tonight at 8pm @Discovery.
If you can’t watch, please DVR it and watch before Wednesday. Unless of course, you’re sick of me and sick of Dirty Jobs and tired of being told what to do.
Carry on.

@MegynKelly is fun to talk to. I learned this last year, when I spent an hour on her podcast that felt like ten minutes, laughing and talking about a long list of things I didn’t think we were going to discuss – including the horror of using the toilet at 37,000 feet during extreme turbulence. This week, she returned the favor, and we had a terrific conversation on my humble little platform. Among other things, we discuss the insane drama unfolding between @realdailywire and @louderwithcrowder along with the many benefits of leaving a party without saying goodbye.

Another Week in Vegas
I came to Vegas last Saturday for a series of meetings and a few speeches. Mission accomplished. The folks at The National Homebuilders Association were terrific. The accountants at CLA were awesome. My friends at @Caterpillarinc were thirsty. In between meetings and speeches, I ate at some extraordinary restaurants, and took in another Cirque du Soleil show. This one was called “Mystere,” and featured a cast of boneless acrobats doing things with their bodies that defy description. Back at the hotel, I found a piece of edible art had been delivered to my room, put together by an amazing pastry chef at The Four Seasons named Maruschka Ang. As you can see, Maruschka found a photo of me holding a feral chicken I’d captured some years ago in Miami. She put the photo inside a coaster made of translucent sugar, mounted it on an easel made of chocolate flanked by a delicious assortment of hyper-realistic yet completely comestible hand tools, alongside a container filled with chicken McNuggets. After eating all of the McNuggets and most of the chocolate, I went for a long jog around the perimeter of McCarran airport and found a severed penis lying in the rocks. I think it was made of wood, but can’t be sure, since I didn’t touch it. I did however, report it to the local gendarme, who expressed no great alarm or concern.

I’ve been delighted, flattered, (and relieved), by the response to Knobel Tennessee Whiskey. My Pop would be proud, and it’s been fun to watch it grow over the last year. These photos were taken by Don Ventre in a factory and a garage in Cincinnati. Funny story…
The photos taken in the factory were a total accident. Don was there to photograph a new machine in action, but a critical part didn’t arrive as scheduled. Rather than just sit around all morning, Don grabbed a bottle of Knobel (which he apparently travels with) and set up a few quick shots that will probably win some kind of award. The grinder in the background is pretty great.
The stuff in the garage was a bit more deliberate. Every detail, every tool, every shadow and shaft of light was carefully and meticulously designed and styled. I’m not invited to shoots like this, because I lack the patience required for this level of detail and nuance. On Dirty Jobs, we don’t even do second takes but here you can see how a single bottle of whiskey requires the undivided attention of three professional photographers, a stylist, a digitech, and a mechanic who doubled as a hand-model. I also love the fact that this is the garage Don uses in real life, and this is his actual mechanic, Keith Brogan. Big thanks to him, along with Laura Klasamer, Mark Corelli, and Don Ventre for treating photography like the skilled trade it is. Since we now live in a time where the words, “This Bag is NOT a Toy” appear on bags all over the country, I suppose I should say that @KnobelWhiskey should NOT be consumed while operating heavy machinery in a factory, or in a garage while fixing someone’s vehicle. Nor is it intended to be opened with a wrench, as certain idiots might assume the photo implies. As long as I’m pointing out the obvious, I should also tell you that you can still get a bottle for yourself. It really does taste as good as it looks and every online purchase benefits the @mikeroweWORKS Foundation. Finally, and apropos of nothing, the season finale of #DirtyJobs airs tonight at 8PM on @Discovery. I don’t want to say too much, but beavers will be squeezed…More on that, later.

On Dirty Jobs, we don’t even do second takes but here you can see how a single bottle of whiskey requires the undivided attention of three professional photographers, a stylist, a digitech, and a mechanic who doubled as a hand-model. I also love the fact that this is the garage Don uses in real life, and this is his actual mechanic, Keith Brogan. Big thanks to him, along with Laura Klasamer, Mark Corelli, and Don Ventre for treating photography like the skilled trade it is. Since we now live in a time where the words, “This Bag is NOT a Toy” appear on bags all over the country, I suppose I should say that @KnobelWhiskey should NOT be consumed while operating heavy machinery in a factory, or in a garage while fixing someone’s vehicle. Nor is it intended to be opened with a wrench, as certain idiots might assume the photo implies. As long as I’m pointing out the obvious, I should also tell you that you can still get a bottle for yourself. It really does taste as good as it looks and every online purchase benefits the @mikeroweWORKS Foundation. Finally, and apropos of nothing, the season finale of #DirtyJobs airs tonight at 8PM on @Discovery. I don’t want to say too much, but beavers will be squeezed…More on that, later.

I’ve been delighted, flattered, (and relieved), by the response to Knobel Tennessee Whiskey. My Pop would be proud, and it’s been fun to watch it grow over the last year. These photos were taken by Don Ventre in a factory and a garage in Cincinnati. Funny story…
The photos taken in the factory were a total accident. Don was there to photograph a new machine in action, but a critical part didn’t arrive as scheduled. Rather than just sit around all morning, Don grabbed a bottle of Knobel (which he apparently travels with) and set up a few quick shots that will probably win some kind of award. The grinder in the background is pretty great.

I invited @danmcmurtrie16 on the podcast to talk about Mike Marshall, who died not too long ago, and about the many challenges of reinventing yourself. I also wanted to hear a few real-life Bull Durham stories, which he was happy to share. But mostly, I wanted to discuss Dan’s ongoing attempts to save the restaurant industry. After his baseball career ended, Dan got into the food and beverage business, and wound up building a portfolio of seventy restaurants. Since then, he’s been focused on creating a software solution to help independent restaurateurs stay in business. If you share my affection for baseball, hard work, Bull Durham, entrepreneurship, reinvention, Ma-and-Pa restaurants, and the joy of chewing and swallowing things, this is the conversation for you.
