Now its fixed! 😁👍
Well I’ve heard it called a lot of things but “a flock of birds” is certainly a new one.
@@viscache1 LOL
@Alexandre-sz2jb You said it buddy.
Mike's the best!!!...
Thank you Mike for featuring drag racing on your show! As with everything in life, this sh*t is harder than it looks! Don't take Roy's scolding personal, I think he does that to everyone, and that's why he is truly a pioneer of the sport. You have major chops running an 8 second car, thanks again for everything you do 👍

Well, racing is also very serious and deadly. Lives are on the line every time a car launches. I know Roy would have me feeling like a toddler getting yelled at like that. But I understand it. When you do it right, it minimizes risk while still achieving the goal.
Pick any sport, the pros make it look easy as pie, so to speak. But then you try it out yourself and you find out very quickly that it's not nearly as easy as they make it seem.
That was flippin' AWESOME. And so is Roy Hill! If everyone had a father with his kind of mentality, the world would be a better place. Great job, Mike!

So true. Good job guys, haven't laughed that hard in a long time. When can we see you in a Top Fuel Dragster? 100mph in less than a second, 300mph in 3 seconds.
Roy is hot headed tho he talks to ppl like your an idiot
@Alexandre-sz2jb then allah your ass back were you come from
You mean a father that screams at you anytime you do the slightest thing wrong?
What a character! Excellent episode. He knows his stuff. Hell of a teacher.

Yep, sort of like a military instructor, provide an atmosphere of total chaos and emotion, pressure an individual beyond their ability to handle it, and bring them down with empathy, comradery, and assurance you are on their side.
I love Roy Hill! He’s an absolute pioneer of drag racing. Serious, determined and passionate about the sport. He’s hard on EVERYONE, because he cares so much. Loved this so much. One of the best episodes to date!

@Alexandre-sz2jbJesus is the only way to Salvation! He and he alone.
Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.
1 PETER 2:24 KJV
Our Blessed Hope, our Savior Jesus Christ.
Do you know him? Do "you", ("whoever" is reading this), know Jesus? Even more, are you "Saved"? If Jesus were to return today, "now", would you be ready? Are you ready? That is the one question that you, and everyone, better know the answer to, because that is the most important decision you will ever make. Jesus is the "ONLY WAY TO SALVATION". There is no other way, "none". This "life" that you are living now, is a "limited" existence. The life after this is "ETERNAL", which brings us to another question: "Where do you want to spend eternity?" Well, you have only "two" choices: either "HEAVEN" or "HELL"! Not everyone will go to Heaven and likewise not everyone will go to Hell. It's your choice! It's always been your choice. Have you ever wondered why we all don't go to Heaven? Well, it's because of just one thing. But that "one" thing "separates" us all from God, and that one thing, is "SIN"! We are all born into sin, everyone is, and the Bible says that the wages (penalty) of sin is "Death". You see, because of our sins, when we all die, we are all "eternally separated" from God. But you know what? God Loves you so much that he made a way for you, for all of us. The Bible also teaches us that even though the penalty (wages) for our sins is death, we can gain SALVATION (a GIFT FROM GOD) through his only begotten son, Jesus Christ. God made a way! He sacrificed his only son, for "you"! That's how much he Loves you.
ROMANS 6:23 kjv
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Here's the GOOD NEWS, (THE GOSPEL) Jesus took your sins and paid your sin debt in full. He took all your sins, past, present and future, to the Cross, shed his Blood and literally DIED for your sins, was buried and then God raised him from the dead three days later. Anyone who believes in the finished work of Jesus Christ will be Saved. That's THE GOSPEL (which means GOOD NEWS).
1 CORINTHIANS 15:1-4 kjv
15 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures.
He paid the price so you don't have to. Jesus is the ONLY ONE who could. He is the ONLY WAY.
JOHN 14:6 kjv
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
God gives you, all of us, this "GIFT", because he Loves you. How much does God Love you? Well, let me ask you this: "Could you sacrifice your only child?" That is exactly what our Heavenly Father did. He gave (sacrificed) his only begotten son, Jesus, for "you", for the "WHOLE WORLD"!
JOHN 3:16-18 kjv
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
Please, don't let Gods "sacrifice" (for you) be in vain. Jesus "died" for you. Please "Live" (eternally) for him.
That old boy kicked your ass up and down that track Mike.
Good on you taking it in stride and learning, eventually....
Gotta love Roy's no nonsense attitude - matched up with Mike's full nonsense showmanship, it makes for some amazing entertainment!
Good work, Mike and Team!
That's tough love right there. Love to see you in a dragster!
In the past I have thought Mike is the luckiest man on earth, now I really know he is. Awesome job Mr. Rowe.
This is why Roy is a LEGEND in the community. Doesn’t matter if you’re a young buck or Mike Rowe, he’s giving it to ya straight and honest. He makes truly amazing drivers.
I miss how the old timers taught people they were beyond harsh but when they said that you did great it ment so much more
Absolutely. It's a FAR better approach than the "everyone gets a trophy" mentality. Not only do you learn the skills at hand, you also learn personal responsibility and accountability. That's seriously lacking these days.
I am always amazed at the reaction times of Pro Dragsters.. 003 seconds is the difference between a win and a loss. Thanks Mike, for showing how it's done!

I want you to listen, you know what that means 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Roy Hill an absolute legend. Mike Rowe one of the coolest dudes on the planet.
Trans brake locks 1st and reverse in together. When the button is released, reverse is no longer locked in. Another fascinating upload by Mike and the crew and enjoyed it as always.
Came here to say the same. Idk with anyone with amount of the experience that Roy has would say 1st and 2nd gear when he knows better.
Thanks for that. Never really thought much about how (or why), a trans brake worked until now. Makes perfect sense.
Yeah, I can’t believe Roy said that either. Guessing it was a senior moment for him?
Whole thing was a tad cringe, first super comp dragsters your lookin at 6-800 hp on the top end not 1000hp...I know several people including myself that actuate the trans brake with the thumbnail and slip it off....yanking your hand back does nothing of value and at a 1.18 r/t he could yank his whole body back and still would have slept on the tree...and finally only thing hard about it is nailing the launch and keeping it under control if the tires unload mid track....and I guess running index trying to pull a bumper on the opponent without breaking out
roy must have not had his wheaties cuz that was insanely badly spoken
Just figured out, after a moment or two of considerable deliberation, the bottom line for why I've enjoyed following Mike all these many years; anytime I think of decency, Mike Rowe immediately springs to mind. He is a decent human being no matter the topic at hand and one of the few decent role models for up and coming kids today.
I remember using my transbrake the first time. Matting the gas in gear and it’s standing still will un-nerve you! But that feeling when you let go of that button is amazing! Great job Mike!
Just love watching Mike in action. Never a dull moment, always entertaining, and a genuine good guy!
God bless Roy, I love guys like him. Guys like him are more honest and open than most. I would trust everything about him 100% 🏆

This is one of your best episodes ever! I was practically crying from laughing so hard. Roy Hill is awesome!
Passion separates the guy who just gets by, from the guy that excels at what he does. Never heard of Roy Hill, not into Drag Racing, but if I needed to learn , there is the guy. I'd rather learn from someone that cares, than someone giving me an easy pass .

Way to go Mike. After more than 750 passes down the track, I thank you for a nice exposure to drag racing. Anyone can race in their street car. Show up, ask questions, and make some passes. You can even win in a 20 second car. Its all driver skill. Its called Bracket Racing. Write the time on your window (shoe polish) and run EXACTLY that time AND cut a perfect light, and you can win against a MUCH faster car. If you dial in a 20.00 second time, and your competitor dials in a 12.00, you get a 8 second head start. Handicap racing. Of course, going faster is more fun, but start somewhere, learn to drive!
In my sixty three years of life I have had a few men like Roy push me. In the moment I hated them. Most of them are no longer with us but now I would give them a hug if I could. Roy and Mike are extraordinary men.
One of Mike's best episodes of all his shows. Having a good ol' boy like Roy Hill narrate Mike's show is the coolest and funniest thing I have seen in a long time.
Respect for being so polite, humble, and emotionally intelligent. I love your content, Mike. Keep up the dedicated work you do. It truly is something special.
One of the many things in this life I wish I could do. GREAT JOB MIKE!!!
Mike has the best sense of humor and makes you want to sit and spend some time with him. He’d be an amazing guest at a barbecue.
Mike, i havn’t laughed this long in awhile, oww my stomach. What a treasure and true gem of a being! He’s just a big teddy bear! I saw that gleam in his eye givin you what for and a ‘read’ like none other😝. I so thoroughly enjoy you but this one had me in tears 😂🙏🏻❤️

Love the Somebody's Gotta Do It series. Keep up the good work and thanks for all you do!
You see Discovery trying to capitalize off Mike now?. Every time he uploads an episode of Somebody's gotta do it, They( Discovery) upload a Dirty Jobs clip.
It's basically Dirty Jobs, but without the "Dirty".
@@MichaelOKeefe2009Dirty Jobs was ran by Discovery, 'SGDI' is all his
@@johns5263 i mean considering he filmed this show with Discovery/CNN aswell. I imagine they have deals worked out lol
@@verakoo6187 smh
Mike, with all the doom in this country right now, your videos are a needed escape. Have been a fan of yours for a long time. You represent the working people in this country who are looked down on now. Thank you sir. God Bless.

@Alexandre-sz2jb I pray you repent and accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior. It is never too late. Jesus loves you more than you could possibly know.
Roys Gentle Guidance 😅 ...
You did Great Mike ❤ Nascar Next 🔥👍 🙋♀️
Mike struggling with the trans brake had me laughing. Welcome to drag racing, it's not as easy as a lot of people think.
I'm a footbraker, and I agree.
Hey Mikey! I liked it! I liked it a lot!!! Especially no crying with the spilt milk... Kudos to Roy, your crew and you too Mikey! Cheers, Mate.
I saw Roy Hill race at Old Dominion Speedway in Manassas, VA, forty years ago. He was running a Petty Enterprises sponsored ProStock on the 8th mile track, believe he ran a 4.82, and that was really something back in 1980'ish.
Remember that. He got caught running a lot of other stuff to and went to prison for a bit. But he’s always been one hell of a driver. Used to be Ronnie Sox and Roy Hill
Mike's camera man must love Mike until death does us apart for getting in the same car as Mike to break the speeding records. Great Job 👍
Next go to a Superbike school…a whole race series outdoor be sweet.
Now that was SO enjoyable to watch a true teacher teach. Great job!!
This is the opposite of "Somebody's Gotta." It's "Everybody Wantsta!" What a fun episode.
Dead ringer for late Junior Johnson...stock car legend
Hard lessons learned from the master Roy Hill followed by the best reward at 1000HP for Mike Rowe. Memories made for everyone on the track. This was a great day!
That was awesome Mike. Thanks.
The best of Mike comes out when someone's on his ass. lmao
Roy Hill is the Don Rickles of drag racing. He dishes it out equally to everyone. Nice job!
A TRUE AMERICAN HERO. Rowe has proved it again. Good Job Buddy. Now it's time to go to into Space and become an Astronaut. Ready,. Set, GO!!!!!!!!!!!
Who says an old dog can't teach you new tricks !
My favorite Mike Rowe episode of all time.
It had it all - stupid mistakes, love, hate, fear, humor, drama, overcoming, winning, beating the master teacher !!!
That was not easy. Roy was great. His yelling at Mike was for Mike's safety. It was like a father teaching his son. Happy Father's Day.
LOL Love Roy, you too Mike lol glad you all survived ❤ hard to explain the nerves unless you have done i, great job!
I took one of my boys to Roy Hill to get his junior dragster license. My son struggles under pressure but Roy is the dragster whisperer. It was a long day but we all got through it and he got his NHRA license. Roy then took us to his house and showed us all his race cars and told us plenty of stories. He's a true treasure.
Proud of you Mike. You rock Roy!
Man I love this show! And God bless Mike and Roy.
that scolding is him showing his heart for mike. thats racing love
Very nice to see you in the working guy's weekend racer adventure. Drag racing experience. Years ago I participated in the "Gettin' Dirty With Kenny Schrader" dirt modified driving program that was sponsored by what was then my shops parts distributer promo. I would love to see you connect with Kenny Schrader and take a walk on the dirt wild side. Love the shows you do Mike, Your a great simple American living the dream. Don't stop what you do in all your adventures! Thx
NGL I love the "old timer" way of teaching. Reminds me of my grandpa. RIP. Really takes me back. Today is too soft.
"Your no more straight then i'am" 😂😂😂
Been on my bucket list to drive a dragster down the strip! I did the NASCAR thing in Richmond which was sweet.
Do it! I took a drag experience class about 12 years ago. It was blast! Similar cars as what Mike drove except it was throttle stopped down to about 300 HP. We also left in high gear off the foot brake only. It still ran around 11.0 at 120. Doing the burnout was the best part!
This is awesome Mike!
Awesome!
Now just imagine how much quicker Mike would have figured it out without being screamed at.
Lmfao! Roy was Killin Em! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🙏🙏🙏🙏
Holy moly, I was gonna make a wisecrack about Roy’s belly but after listening to ole Roy I gotta admit that he is a champ of a guy! Love his straight forward teaching that is to the point without wasting time being overly sensitive. Great teacher!
Mike you had a little bit of John Force come out at the end well done🤣🤣🏁🏁
I’m grinning ear to ear
Best video ever.
This is GREAT!! Thank You Mike! Your Fantastic!! Love It!!!
Great job Mike. I went through a drag racing school and you portrayed it expertly.
A great coach both puts you in your head, and gets you out of it.
Roy is one hell of a coach.
I love watching everything you do Mike. Thanks for all the great years of entertainment. 🍻
Roy Hill is definitely the kinda guy you want teaching you how to race.
This is one of the most fun episodes. We gotta see Mike in more situations like this.
Mike Rowe for President!!!!!!!!!!
Welcome to the south Mike, where we tell it like it is. I love that guy, it was nice to see a genuine person put you in your place. He wasn't there to make a RUclips video, he was there to teach you how to drive a dragster.
@Alexandre-sz2jb You almost had it right, just stop at "There is no god". No Allah, no Jesus, no anything. Stop believing in fairy tales. Also, what a completely random place to post that kind of nonsense.
This is one of the best episodes of somebody’s gotta so it Roy Hill is great
FAVORITE SHOW TO DATE!!!!! THATS OLD SCHOOL WAY OF TEACHING AND IT WORKS!!!!! CANT IMAGINE THIS SNOWFLAKE GENERATION GETTING IT....
Mike is the man! Please run for president! Ha
Hands down Mike, best show ya done yet, love it, just love it.
Roy Hill what a guy, what a character 😂 never seen mike so flusterd
I can see that Roy Hill, He doesn't put up with no s***!😂
You did great! Roy busting your chops was killing me!
I just love the wholesome entertainment in this episode! 😊
I was all smile from ear to ear the whole time! Luv it! 😂
LOL Best Episode yet!
I don't know who looks more scared, the cameraman or Mike. God Bless you all!
I actually really like that. He might seem harsh and annoying, but he wants you to work at your best.
Mike mate - WTF - You really took to another level,, one of the best episodes of all the different series, Mike has some big Kahoonas for sure, really consider if you would really do this, He does so we do not have too...just excellent from Australia, the land down under
Roy Hill has taught a bunch of people to drive over the decades. They made it to Fame and Money. Hell, even Rowe fingured it out.
I feel like Roy is messing w/ all of us and he has a pillow under his shirt..... 😂
All the people i look up to in my life, teach like roy. I grew up in racing, and miss it every day.
Roy is a clone of my Pop Warner football coach...that's a good thing. Didn't think so at the time though, lol!
Mike, 8 second pass is nothing to be ashamed off, well done.
@Alexandre-sz2jb I prefer drugs mate
That was awesome Mike👍 Now think about trying to launch a low 8-second motorcycle like that, without wheelie bar (the Grey Turbo ZX14R in my avatar)🤪
I'll be at Gainesville Raceway today helping five (four 8-second bikes and an LS swapped S10 truck that I tune) finish out this year's last Summit ET points race🏁
Yes Mike! I'm a tech inspector at WWTR Drag stirp sometimes I do the water box. Getting pelted by rubber, water, and exhaust is one of the coolest jobs in the world!
I will say this is my favorite Mike Rowe episode! That means alot.....during the summer I work at a Boy Scout summer camp and teach Welding, Home repairs, Metal work and plumbing merit badges and lovingly have named my program "Dirty Jobs" It has turned out to be the most popular camp program at out very large camp in Southern California, with hundreds of male and female scouts learning my life's work of the forgotten trades. PLUS ..............I'm a huge drag racing fan and this episode just made me smile the whole time. (sorry not sorry for using the name of your show for my program but kids love it)
This was pure gold!
Freaking kick butt episode!!! Loved watching Mike haul butt down drag stripe. God, what a feeling that is. Roy you don't get enough praise and credit for the teacher and person you are sir. Gallons of milk to you sir.
You know some of us need to be yelled at a little bit more than others to to get something done right..i respect it
That was totally awesome! Got to give it to ya Mike… your brave soul
♥️♥️♥️😊👍👍👍👍🌟
Great episode! Roy sounds like the drill instructor of drag racing. Lol. Thanks for posting. I love the Somebody's Gotta Do It episodes.
That was incredible Mike!!! That took a lotta guts!! Whoo hoo!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I grew up in Fremont, California in the SF Bay Area. We had a Drag Strip and every High School actually fielded a "Drag Racing Team" back in the 1970's good times. I went to Junior College for an AA degree but, my friend from Drag Racing talked me into entering the building trades....Made far better money than I would have otherwise. We need vocational classes back in our schools!
