It's always a good time chatting with the one and only Mr. Mike Rose.

79.453 - 81.735 Mike Rowe

Oh, he's bringing a cup of coffee.

82.175 - 83.996 Theo Von

That's how they used to do it.

84.036 - 87.399 Mike Rowe

You really got to work for it. You want to be in the labor force.

88.059 - 103.89 Theo Von

That's awesome. Is there cream in there? See, this is the difference between today. Look, this is the difference between my parents and us today. This is how you got a cup of coffee like my grandparents. They would serve it like this. Yep. And you figure it out.

103.91 - 123.83 Mike Rowe

Good luck. Figure it out, man. You're on your own. And here we are. Well, remember the last time I was at your place, I had rolled out of the hotel, come to your house. I wasn't quite sure who you were or where I was or anything. And all I knew was I needed coffee and you ordered some for me and they brought it in. And it was so freaking hot.

124.13 - 138.5 Mike Rowe

I didn't make a big deal about it, but we were like two minutes into our conversation. I thought, damn it, man. I just, I literally cleaved my tongue to the roof of my mouth there for a second. I wonder if I can still be interesting. And then I just powered through and decided, you know what? It's whatever.
