“I’d Never Do It Again” – Mike Rowe on the Most Dangerous Job in the World
Mike Rowe shares the one job from Dirty Jobs he says he would never do again: opal mining in the Australian outback. After more than 300 dangerous jobs, Rowe explains why being lowered into 60-foot prospect shafts in Coober Pedy was one of the most terrifying experiences of his career. From deadly mine shafts and extreme heat to a haunting story about a tourist trapped underground, this conversation reveals the brutal reality behind one of the world’s most dangerous jobs.

that sounds terrifying how that tourist died, it reminds me of that poor guy from the nutty putty cave.
Lived in lighting ridge for 10 years opal mining and it’s the most dangerous thing I’ve ever done and seen
When is George Christy going to be on?
8:38 dude was dead within couple hours if hes upside-down. Heart cant push all the blood.
Anything confined space/ confined space rescue related.
Sounds like the Australians I worked with over the yeats.
I’m intrigued, now I want to listen to the full interview.
He has a voice that u just wanna listen to… it’s great
📌
.
Sometimes, i annoy myself. I heard Mike go from thousands to millions to thousands again, and it’s driving me crazy! 😂
WORKOVER RIG HAND. DERRICKHAND IS WAY MORE DANGEROUS SINCE U WORK ON BOMBS EVERY DAY. AI DONT KNOW SHIT
TUNNEL RAT ISNT A JOB. ITS AN APPOINTED DUTY OF AN AMRY GRUNT THEY NEVER CARED IF HE DIED OR NOT. THATS NOT A FKN JOB. THATS A SUICIDE MISSION. BESIDES NOT A FKN REAL JOB OR CAREER. KILLING PEOPLE ISNT A JOB. IF U CALL OT A JOB YOURE IGNORANT AS FK . ITS NOT. U ARE ORDERED TO KILL PEOPLE… PEOPLE THAT NEVER HURT YOU AT ALL. MOST OF THE WARS WERE LIES TO START EVERYONE OF THEM OFF. …. ARMY NOT A JOB. ITS A SLAVE POST . OILFIELD WORKERS HAVE A CAREER. MOST MILITARY CANT WORK OILFIELD CAUSE ITS TOO HARD … IVE HEARD THAT 50 TIMES FROM THE MARINES THAT TRIED TO DO JUST A FLOORHAND JOB. IM A DERRICKHAND. I THROW PIPE. FUCK ARMY
Stan Adams from Mokane Missouri was a tunnel Rat. He wrote a very good book, Mokane to Mole City.
Ehhh ohhhh there’s the legend the Merican icon Mr. Mike Rowe by gawd 💪 🦅🇺🇸🍻 the new bluehair Shawn probably ain’t gonna like Mike though 😂
Difference between Opal mining and Tunnel Rat..the device is simple. Civilians and Military. All Military that come home are Civilians, some accept help from citezen paid funding through government, and government funded agencies.
Get some fucking socks.
Good guest, Shawn.
🎯
Finally got a great guest on.
Shawn Ryan seems like an adult baby who just doesn’t understand anything
No way I would handle tight places. I would panic at just the thought.
He just say Harry Bosch??!! My fucking guy
You are killing it Shawn. Keep doing amazing work. Big fan, from up here in BC Canada.
Well, I know where my family is NOT going to vacation. Yikes!
Aussie here – really enjoy people trying out our accent. Love it! He did well
Happy SnowFurfee
StayFurfee
Mike is awesome!
Paying taxes is the deadliest job because it funds our subjugation
Real life Minecraft yes horrible and horrifying you can just say that man worst thing ever
What about saturation divers?
Mike Rowe drove past *LAKE GAIRDNER* where *AUSTRALIAN SALT LAKE RACING* takes place, shame they didn’t include that in his documentary.
LIQUID OXYGEN HEISTS FROM PILOTS IS A DANGEROUS JOB AMONG HANGOVERS WORKING IN DRUG FREE WORKPLACES
HUNGOVER COMMERCIAL DIVERS BOUNCING YOU IN THE DECOMPRESSION CHAMBER SUCKING ON OXYGEN TO TEND A HANGOVER IS FAIRLY DANGEROUS
THE HANGOVERS IN A PETROCHEMICAL PLANT, ESPECIALLY IN THAT ALCHYLATION UNIT DRIPPING BONE EATING LIQUID FROM PIPES, WILL SEND YOU TO THE OPERATOR WITH SCARS ALL OVER FROM THE DRIPS
HE DRINKS MUCH WHISKEY IN THIS DRUG FREE WORKPLACES WITH MANY HANGOVERS. HE WILL HOOK YOU UP IF YOU MESSED UP AND DIDN’T HAVE THE LORD’S CANNABIS INSTEAD BECAUSE THIS DRUG FREE WORKPLACES IS DRUG FREE, BUT NOT HANGOVER FREE
THOSE OTR TRUCK DRIVERS HAVE A VERY DANGEROUS JOB, ESPECIALLY IN WINTER. DRIVING 600 MILES A DAY REQUIRES FORTITUDE WITH A HANGOVER IN THIS DRUG FREE WORK ENVIRONMENT. BUT WE ARE MEN. THOSE HANGOVERS ARE ALL YOU.
THIS IS NOT FLYING AT THE JUDGMENT SEAT OF CHRIST
EATING AND DRINKING WITH THE DRUNKEN AND BEATING THE OTHER SERVANTS
BECAUSE YOUR SCARED OF BIBLICALLY CLASSIFIED FOOD SMELLING LIKE A SKUNK
DID SOMEONE SAY HOME OF THE BRAVE?
I GUESS DRIVING AND WORKING AROUND A SH!T LOAD OF HANGOVERS FROM SEA TO SHINING ALCOHOLIC SEA
IS EITHER BRAVE, OR COSTLY FOOLISH
WHEN YOU COULD JUST HAVE SOME OF THE LORD’S CANNABIS WITH
ZERO HANGOVERS IN DRUG FREE WORKPLACES
BEFORE A RIGHTEOUS, NON ALCOHOLIC JUDGE
OH, AND NOT BE UNCOVERING A WHOLE BUNCH OF NAKEDNESS AND DESTROYING WHOLE BLOODLINES
WITH FERMENTED FRUIT – THE ONLY FRUIT A HOLY GOD HAS EVER WARNED ABOUT FEEDING HIS FLOCKS
💪✝️💙
Trump has TDS!!! I’ve supported him for so long, but he is totally full of shit on Iran. TBH he’s really REALLY failed to live up to what he sold MAGA! Where are the damn Epstein files for example?
Was 375’ down a domestic waterline to repair an elbow that was broken during a mild earthquake. I hated it and though what happens if there’s another earthquake.
I personally hate heights, but that’s me. But I think those crazy folks who put out those oil well fires in Iraq has to be #1.
Astronaut would be fare more dangerous, I would think. There is endless danger on the ISS or space shuttle, they are just trained to be safe in all aspects and follow procedures…. Logging and fishing has fare more fatalities but the actual dangers are much less.
6/7 feet down?
Ask a tunnelrat, if you can find one, and ask him about his eyesight after those vaxxs.
Ive worked in Underground hardrock mining for 14 years, conventional track mining with jacklegs and stopers, Eimco 22 and 12b muckers, and rubber tire muckers. Best job ever!
Y’all should’ve waited to have Candace Owens on your show. Dumb fucking move Sean you’re not built for this. You guys are getting embarrassed today because of the new revelations coming out. Should’ve waited.
I love Mike! I was a merchant sailor and unfortunately know a thing or two about confined spaces.
So opals must be worth a lot of money ahhh
Mike Rowe is the best interview you’ve done in a very long time. The man is a legend. Thank you.
@shawnryanshow love the last few episodes. Nice change for me. I also love the shows where you interview the older men . Fascinating to me to hear their stories. Soldiers didn’t share stories back in the day.
Lastly, do you consider suggestions on who to interview?
My father did recon in Laos.
I have 3 personal heroes-Mike Rowe,Gary Plouche and Marvin Heemyer
Shawn, where do you get your shirts? I like them; maybe you can recommend the place…
