Originally produced 2003-2005 for Discovery Channel.
Description
Host Mike Rowe demonstrates some of the dirtiest jobs that have to be done to keep the world fed and cleaned.
Description
Bat cave scavenger ; Worm dung farmer: Visit a cave where bat guano (a.k.a. bat poop) is collected for some of the best fertilizer in the world, discover the dirty secret behind major league baseball and take an up-close look at seafood at a fish factory. After exploring the underappreciated world of septic tank cleaners, check out a farm that specializes in worm dung.
Description
Roadkill cleaners ; Chinatown garbage collector: Mike rides along with some professional road kill collectors and takes his turn scooping up five-day-old asphalt ornaments. Plus, tag along with a team of San Francisco trash men and learn how some of your discarded scraps are turned into fine wine.
Description
Sewer inspector ; Pig farmer: Mike braves the cockroach - and rat-infested sewers of San Francisco as he learns the tricks of a sewer inspector's trade - a vital job that keeps the city sewer system flowing. Travel to Brooklyn, where a backed up sewer has flooded the basement of one unlucky homeowner. Then head to Iowa for a quick and dirty lesson in the fine art of pig insemination.
Description
Chick sexer ; Vexcon: Each week, over 80,000 chicks are born at the Murray McMurray Hatchery. This week, it's Mike's job to check under their feathers and sort the boys from the girls. Discover the tasty, and surprisingly slimy, work that goes into brewing beer. Plus, watch as Mike joins forces with the Vexcon Pest Control group for an all-out assault on a home overridden by cockroaches.
Description
Sludge cleaner ; Hot tar roofer: Mike ventures underground into a greasy pit of sludge to join an environmental company that recycles the gunky grime. Plus, watch as Mike is "bee-deviled" during a stint as a honey farmer. In Hot Tar Roofer, Mike lands on a church rooftop and learns how to melt down chunks of black tar for the purpose of roof repair. Later, he takes a job as a house mover and tunnels under a 60-ton house, before jacking it up and placing it on giant wheels.
