A Quick Update Tens of thousands of people have seconded my nomination for @GarySinise to receive The Medal of Freedom, our nation’s highest civilian honor. Hopefully, your collective enthusiasm will find its way to the Oval Office, where the final decision will be made. More…

What's so funny? Modesty aside, I think the attached clip does a fine job of answering that question. If, however, you'd prefer a more detailed analysis, you'll need to watch the whole catastrophe over here. youtu.be/2QwOv1gdUqk

If I may be so bold, listen to @GarySinise's son Mac’s “The Rise” when you have time. I personally recommend it. bit.ly/4lbVJHr

Quick question—how is it possible that @GarySinise has not been awarded The Medal of Freedom? According to the internet, The Medal of Freedom is the highest civilian award of the United States, bestowed by decision of the President. Appropriate candidates for this award include…

People ask me all the time if our work ethic scholarships are only for high school students. The answer is absolutely not. Anyone with a desire to begin or further their education in the skilled trades is welcome to apply at mikeroweWORKS.org. I honestly don't care how old…

Don't Choke! Mike – As a fellow music lover, I’m intrigued by the jingles you and Chuck sing on the podcast. In particular, the LifeVac song, which I’ve been humming for the last two days now. Will you ever release an album of jingles? (The Manscaped one is still my favorite.)…

The Balls on this Guy! Recently, my very famous friend Rico Colantoni had his hip replaced and chose to convalesce at Chuck’s condominium, during which time his scrotum swelled to an abnormal and troubling dimension. Knowing my father had once endured a similar indignity after a…

Jim and Jennifer Reed were in the crowd at the MGM Hotel yesterday afternoon in Las Vegas, watching me and Ryan Reynolds and @GrantCardone talk about the business of growing a business in these challenging times. I didn’t notice Jim and Jennifer yesterday – what with all the…

There’s not much I can tell you about Gary Sinise that you don’t already know. His resume, his talent, his humility, his devotion to serving our veterans, and his extraordinary philanthropy are all a matter of public record. Some of you may know that Gary's son, Mac, lost his…

I’ll huff, and I’ll puff, and I’ll blow myself down. And then, I’ll give away $2.5 million dollars in scholarships. Apply for a work ethic scholarship by April 17th. mikeroweworks.org/scholarship/

Food for Thought That’s Clay in the middle seat. His girlfriend, Isyss, is next to him. (That’s me in the aisle, enjoying all the luxury Southwest has to offer.) Clay and Isyss were in the audience yesterday, when I dragged 3,500 Jersey Mike’s employees through the sewer, to…

youtu.be/T5QZUVf58Z4 Thanks for all the birthday wishes/condolences. I was touched to read so many kind words about my parent’s decision to procreate over six decades ago, and the results thereof. For those of you who feel just terrible about not getting me a present, here’s…

All Things Considered, a Pretty Good Tuesday “What are you doing for your birthday?” I’ve never had a good answer to that question, but I hear it a lot every March. When I shrug and say, “No special plans,” people don’t actually say, “what the hell is wrong with you, Mike?”…

Hi Mike —A year ago today, I offered to buy a case of your grandfather's whiskey if you dressed in green and sang an Irish ditty for St. Patrick’s Day. You agreed, and my husband and I were delighted to purchase six bottles of Knobel Spirits Rye (which are long since depleted)…

For the last ten years or so, I’ve promoted our work ethic scholarship program by talking about how difficult it is to give away a million dollars without lowering our standards. This year, for the first time, I’m unable to say that. As of last week, we have ten times the number…

I’ve made no secret of the absurdity (and the hypocrisy, in my opinion) of opposing fossil fuel production in this country, while supporting the policies that allow us to import those very same fossil fuels from other places. In fact, I’ve described those policies the "height of…

creators.com/read/salena-zi… I'm happy to report that mikeroweWORKS is exploding. As of today, we have received 10X the number of applications as we did this time a year ago, or any year before. That's just.... extraordinary. In the attached article, I discuss the reasons why people…

As a rule, I try to avoid relying too much on charts, graphs, and powerpoint presentations. Visual aids make me anxious, and then, paradoxically, sleepy. This chart however, and the stats therein, are worth sharing. They were put together for mikeroweWORKS by an organization I…

A short message for American women, on International Women's Day.

Regarding Miles Davis… Lately, a host of miscreants have been using my name and likeness to defraud people who would make for interesting guests on my podcast. I’ve so far heard from dozens of authors and documentarians who have been contacted by my “manager,” a fictitious…
