rerunning the "fluffer" episode over and over is not exactly the best way to watch the series, even in HD

I wonder if he still sings?

I saw an episode where he was working for a minor league baseball team in the Baltimore area and sang the National Anthem for a game.

The snake catching, sexing, and puking episode was filmed near me.

Great show ! Right up there w/Mythbusters. I can relate to the dirty jobs. About 10 years ago, there was an abbatoir that was in foreclosure in our town. The freezer system broke & 4 tons of veal went bad. Very, VERY bad. They were paying $75.00 dollars per hour. Good money back then, to workers to go in & clean the place up. The employer was giving out "moonsuits" w/built in ventilation, still not a lot of takers. The smell was horrid.

I keep tellin my old man to call him and get him out here fishin

I hear ya...but if he got his inspiration from actually fishing poogie (Menhaden) in the Gulf, I don't think you could expose him to anything nastier than that.....
The problem is that while menhaden looks pretty nasty, it is the whole experience that seals the deal....fortunatly, TV hasn't developed "Smell-o-vision" yet.....Otherwise It would have to named "Jobs to contrmplate while you Puke in your Living room"....ratings might soar!

We used menhaden as bait and yeah they are NASTY. But, try spilling their oil inside your bait store...now thats some nastiness there...how about stringing lobster bait in the summer?

Gulp....! Menhaden oil inside a building !!! Burn that sucker to the ground!! No possible way to get rid of that stink!!!....Ooooowww...I got one.....10 day old halibut and cod carcasses in the silo in the meal plant in the summer......Mmmmm....

Great show! I love it! However, I have quickly learned to not watch it while I'm having dinner. I came really close to puking at the table the other night.

Some of the jobs I've been seeing lately haven't been all that dirty, but his sense of humor keeps me coming back. As do some of the employees he encounters. The website has a lot of background info on him, along with bloopers and unseen clips. He claims to frequently log onto the message board there and chat with fans, as he has nothing better to do most nights on the road. He also has issued an open invitation to anyone who runs into him in a bar:

"I have a reputation for being unusually forthcoming with viewers that I run into randomly... The rules are simple: I must be in a bar. (Common). I must not be engaged in a serious or private conversation. (Also common). If you should ever see me in such circumstances and feel so inclined, you may approach and say the following- Hello...My name is _______. I am a dirty girl/boy. Please buy me a beer. And it will be done.

Whether the job's dirty or not, as long as the show keeps making me laugh and realize that my current job could be much worse, I'll keep watching
