Mike Rowe is now joining them over the phone, it’s his 6th appearance on the ACS and his first via the phone.
Mike first was booked back on the KLSX ACS in 2008 after I had called in requesting to hear him on the show as a favor to a group of very vocal fans who were dying to hear him on air with Adam, that part of the story always gets left out.

Adam shares his theory that teachers were so averse to talking about money as they failed in the real world and copped out of the free market, the easy road.
“fuck it I don’t want to work” – Adam on 90% of teachers he encountered a student.
Adam says there are no money classes nor focus on blue collar trades, as the teachers are not involved in either, one is above them and one is beneath them.
Gary just informed Adam that both of Mike’s parents were teachers, Mike agrees while rephrasing the dumb bullshit argument about education vs. hard work and physical labor.
Mike says screw the skills gap, he says it’s a “will gap” and makes a funny crack about this not being a shorter rephrasing of what Adam said.
Adam doesn’t like the $15 minimum wage talk nor the everyone needs to go to college talk, he wants something in between.
Adam gives out one final plug for Mike Rowe and his show on Facebook ‘Returning the Favor’ and they wrap up with him, inviting him back on the show anytime.
BB mocks Adam’s comments about teachers, Gina gives them some insider info about Mike’s career and training.
