Last week was a 150th episode party, two hours long, and it was very good and funny (and dirty). Catch it if you can.

Looks lIke another new one tonight:

REEF BALL MAKER

Mike rolls up his sleeves and gets dirty in order to help create an artificial underwater reef. It's a dirty job that is helping to revitalize fish and coral populations in areas that have been devastated by pollution.

Tonight: Exotic Animal Keeper

Mike gets dirty at a recycling center in San Francisco that requires its drivers to clean out the backs of their garbage-hauling dump trucks after every shift. Then Mike plays with exotic animals and cleans a cougar-sized kitty litter box.

Tonight: Spray Insulation Technician

Mike Rowe gets dirty with a team of airport runway painters, examines dirty diapers for bad smells and then teams up with a group of spray insulation technicians that get dirty to keep our houses warm.

I've missed the last several episodes, but tonight's is:

Cranberry Farmer

Mike Rowe gets dirty making hand made bricks in South Carolina and then masters the art of cranberry farming in Oregon.

I can't get used to this show being on Monday now!

Tonight: Turkey Inseminator
In this Dirty Jobs episode, Mike crawls through rat drops, falling insulation, and debris to make a house more energy efficient. Then, he visits a turkey farm where a bunch of large-breasted birds are inseminated.

ETA: I don't believe I've ever heard Mike Rowe swear as much as he did as during the actual inseminating process. Every few seconds was "D*mn it!" It really was very funny.

If you missed the last one: Aerial Tram Greaser, try to catch it sometime. Mike was up in the mountain, 20 degrees, riding on top of the tram. Great video, one of the scariest things I think he's done.

Tonight: Ice Salvage Crew

Mike Rowe gets dirty in Alaska as he helps protect the environment by cleaning up an oil spill and then travels to Minnesota where he works to pull a car out of a lake that has fallen through the ice.

OMG! Was the turkey semen thing the one coley suggested?! I'd forgotten she'd said she'd sent that one in!

[kostgard]

I had forgotten about that! If that was coley's suggestion, then good job! That episode was hilarious and completely disgusting - just as Dirty Jobs should be.
