mikeroweworks.com — Me: Hey Phil, how?s it going?Phil: Mike, I got nothing to say to you until you ride my bike.Me: Beg your pardon?Phil: I said that you and I have nothing to talk about until you ride my bike. Got it?With that, Phil walked me out to his bike, tossed me his keys, crossed his arms, and waited for me to ride off. And so I did.

A very good read. Mike Rowe did a great job giving some insight to who Phil was off camera. Sounds like a true class act.

I'm very glad the show came to be what it is. None of us would have ever known of this man or how great he was. I have nothing but extreme amounts of respect and I wish his family the very best. May he forever rest in the greatest of peace.

What a great read, and to second DarthLamp, Mike Rowe basically read it to me.

I did that as well and it wasn't like I was trying to. I always assumed when he narrated it was all written for him, but after reading this I'm thinking maybe he writes his own material because the narrative style of this article and the shows he does is exactly the same.I found I was reading it in his voice and if I forced myself to stop I just slipped back into it a line or two later.

I hate to be "that guy" but reddit already did a sit down with him. Given the nature of both sites I think it would be kind of redundant and you aren't likely to see Digg do it.

How did you get his voice? And give it back you selfish prick. Dirty Jobs is going to suck for the rest of us if it has to be subtitled.
