My favorite line , " I may be young, but I know this is not the way it's supposed to be". Those words get things done when the right people hear them !

This show is so much more appealing than the big studio's version. It feels 100x more authentic and the charisma Mike has shines through way more. I'm so glad you decided to take the reigns and did it yourself. I missed this show from when I was a kid and I'm really glad to see it's back.

Why would you say that it's not authentic? Especially Mike Rowe? I've watched Rowe for years an it's his authenticity that keeps me coming back for more. He seems to be a seriously down to earth dude and I'd be genuinely honored to sit down and have a beer or a cup of coffee with him. ✌🏼

I am truly humbled by people like Chad, Thank you for what you do.

Mike has made a life of shining light on those who work away their lives in the dark. Thanks Mike. I know youll never see this, but your truly a treasure to humanity and I have the utmost respect for you.

Really brings a tear to your eyes to see humanity working together to help keep the environment clean and better for the next generation. I really can't thank others enough who volunteer to clean up the messes of others and make the world a better place. Our kids should be shown just how detrimental the effects of pollution and waste are and how incredible it can feel to make a difference in cleaning up one's community.

Thank you Mike for showing that goodness still exists

I do a ton of kayak river fishing here in Michigan and always bring out the trash I stumble upon during my adventures if it fits on the boat. This guy takes it to another level and keeping our rivers clean is so under appreciated. Thanks a ton for this. Outdoorsman everywhere thank you.

YES. I saw on the last upload that this segment got cut out. I'm happy it got uploaded, have been looking around online for it. Mike, what you do for the workers of America with your foundation. From everyone, thank you sir.

This guys doing the work nobody wants to even talk about. So many people scream climate change then litter and fly away to another place like they aren’t the problem. I’m all for keeping our earth clean as possible. Sucks other countries don’t give a F

Great job MIKE. That young man is doing something that MOST people wouldn't ever bother to do. I couldn't believe how much y'all got in just one day. Great job.😎🇺🇸

Each week, when I think, “Gosh, this is the best one yet!”, Mike come back the next week with one even better. This one needs to be shown everywhere. People need to stop polluting our waterways, oceans, and planet in general. Thank you, Mike, for showcasing someone doing something very vital for our environment.

When people ask me who I most look up to in life it is you Mike Rowe. This video popped up in my feed. With all the hodgepodge and negativity of videos, I believe the world needs more content like yours. Showing real people doing real (dirty) jobs that benefit not only their family and friends, but the communities they live in. Love it. Keep it up. Thank you.

The world needs more people like this.

I'm watching this with my favorite dog who I have to go put down in about an hour. Oddly, she likes listening to Mike talk and this time is no different. Thanks for everything you do Mike and the crew.

I absolutely love how he never even hesitated when he answered his wife's name when you asked what the best thing he ever found was lol What a good hubby!

I love to see people with a passion to clean up what people seem incapable of not polluting. It reminds me of some guys that I watch on KZread that started out just pulling vehicles out of the river near them. 'Adventures with Purpose' have now become so much more, and I don't think they get enough credit for the stuff they do. I don't know them but I've seen them work, and what they do is amazing.

Heaps of Praise to Chad & his Merry Band of Helpers !! ( an to you too Mike & your Helpers too ! ). Thank you all for putting a dent in our polluted water ways. We need More People like you all to help Clean America Up. Remember, it is Our Heartland !!

That's really cool. So many people willing to dig in and reduce the pollution on the rivers. Hopefully it will stop or reduce the urge to litter seeing this. Also some love connections thrown in!

The other day getting fueled up at the gas dock I saw an old tire with rim floating just above the surface of the water. I felt like a hero throwing it in the dumpster. But these guy are true hero's. Leave it to Rowe for honoring true hero's. Thank you for your work boys!!

Hey Mike, very fun but eye opening video! Chad is an angel walking this earth and thanks to him and his team. Also all the volunteers! Including you! I love all your dirty jobs shows. You get into some really rank places! Looking forward to more from this channel. I just subscribed!💜💜💜

Awesome! We need so many more like him!!!!❤

Kudos to Chad and his Merry band pf volunteers cleaning up the waterways of America . Also we thank the wonderful sponsors Chad has found to support his efforts and especially the sponsors who have found Chad . Thank you Mike for the great video .

What an amazing story! Chad is such a blessing! God bless him!

I applaud what the man is doing. He should get together with the Ocean Cleanup people.

Wow, never thought I'd see a video of you so close to home. Thanks to everyone that took part in this, you are appreciated!

What an amazing human being! Thank you, and your crew, for making the world a better place!

He is such an inspiration. I have seen him many years back. Fantastic job. Thank you for spending it through the world, Mike, and staff.❤

What a great human being he is....cleaning water ways looks to be an extremely rewarding job.

Mr. Rowe, This is one of the best shows yet. I live near the Tennessee River near Chattanooga, Tn. I grew up fishing the river. When I go I take out what others leave. We drink this water, bath in it and cook with it. Without clean water, we are dead. Thank you.

Mike Rowe is a great man an human being! One of a kind! Love all his shows

New Albany being a skip, hop, and a jump away. I can personally say, Thanks Mike so much for the laughs through all the years, and even more thanks to Chad, Mike and all the others for helping get our river the love it needs!! You all are awesome!!!

I would LOVE to work for a guy like this. Passionate about what he does and treats his people right.

I'm retired, but this looks like a way to keep myself occupied and help others and try to get our country clean again. Thanks Chad.

So glad you highlighted someone like this in all his amazing efforts to improve our rivers. And what an excellent thing it is to have sponsors and volunteers to make it possible. Team work!

If more father's were like a Mike Rowe we wouldn't have the problems we have today. I was fortunate for both my dad and step dad be the Mike Rowe in my life. When other kids played video games ( I did but not all around the clock) I was learning new skills working at the family factory and learning about the manufacturing business. My confidence and contentment would not be where it is today had it not been for hard work and appreciating what you have right in front of you.

One of the best shows yet Mr Mike - so much great work being done by so many awesome individuals here. Chad is a genuine American treasure, as are you sir.

I really can't like this enough! This show always delivers great stories!

The Love Barge! I really admire this young man, who was lucky enough to find his life's mission at an early age. Good job to Chad, the crew, and all the terrific volunteers. BRAVO!

I like the way you find good people doing admirable things. It makes my day to know some of these people are in the world. Thanks

Mike I don’t know if you read comments…. Your show has always shown the hard work and grit that’s still left in America. Makes me proud of the people in this country… and that can sometimes be hard to do.

most people on television dont deserve a fraction of the paycheck they make from doing the shows. mike rowe is a man worth 10x the payment he gets on ANY show. he gets off his butt and gets stuff DONE! so glad to see he is still out there giving credit to all the work few want to do but needs to be done!

Mike you always do great work in bringing awareness to the world. Thank you for all you do. We need more people like you in this world.

This how America rolls right here. We have a spirit like no other. This young man is a fine example of it. A tip of the hat to you.

What a beautiful story. There are no words in the amount of joy I felt from this story. Thanks Mike.

Great show. I never thought about garbage in our water ways. I live near a river and after watching your show I am going get some people together and spend a weekend picking up garbage.

I love Mike Rowe! So glad to see him back where he belongs he's good for America.

Mike, Decades following, met your parents,they told me about their wonderful son. I’m an environmentalist and found it interesting. Expanded shows taught me more, your “co-stars” made me inspired. Hundreds of great souls, making our lives better. Mahalo Nui, for years of interesting stories. Almost met you. But you were busy destroying Upsala College in NJ….when I was there volunteering…you and a 🚽 toilet we’re falling through two levels of the building. Maybe 🤔 some other day…we can share a meal. Clean, quiet, and fun. Love you bruddah…..and adore your mom & dad….read Maggie & Your Books. Keep being the inspiration and hope to Americans. 😊

Dear (we actually say Deer now because they don't exist), Mike Rowe. You made an impact on the world. Your career was amazing, and you showcased the blue collar. I write from 2035. We still struggle a bit with energy, but largely have found balance. A huge portion of that progress was pushed in 2025 when all your shows/content became a focusing lens on working class America. You know, the people that ARE taxed. Politics aside, you've made my life happier, you've exposed people to real bottom end logistics in the world, and honestly you're just charming as F&^%. In my time (2035 again if you didn't read it before), we are on board with the 'volunteer for fun experience' bandwagon. We love the groundwork you laid. 2035 sends It's regards, you're a legend. -Sincerely a 40 year old balding dude that operates slitting machines in 2023

Unfortunately some people will think they can put garbage in water ways with the mentality that someone will come take care of it. This passive attitude has gotten us collectively to were we are. I like what you and others are doing to make a difference. Thanks Mike.

Wow! I have no words for what this guy is and has been doing! He's a true hero ! Such an important job! Amazing and heartbreaking seeing all that pollution ❤

Such a great series. I love seeing amazing people like this celebrated

This is so inspirational to me I want to do this and I wasn't sure it could be done for a living

Excellant job guys.Used to live 13 miles from the great Mississippi for 47 years,Thank you.

Thank you for humbling us for all these years Mike!

This guy is so moving and so inspirational I love his attitude his goals and his mindset! We need more folks like him! Thank u sir for making a difference! Ur not only making a difference on the water but ur making a difference in folks hearts with ur kindness and selflessness

I'm man enough to admit when I need to do more for the community and be less selfish. Props to every single person on his team and yes you too Mike for spreading awareness and doing your part, plus some. Hell yeah

WARNING !! If you open it ,..”it” might smell ,..I bit ,…. ,..fishy?? ,..love you Mike !! I’m your #1 Fan !!!

Mike never disappoints when it come to showing what hard work pays. The GOAT of showing what builds a good work ethic.

My Dad helped build that exact Barge a couple years ago at Yager Materials in Owensboro KY and I got to see it launched in person before they added the rooms and stuff on there I can still remember seeing the yellow rails.

Great effort, we need more people like that.

Want to send a big shoutout to Chad! And a personal Thank You to all of the volunteers! i fish 🐟 the Ohio daily and i see you guys all the time putting in outta Tanners here in Lawrenceburg Indiana. You're making a huge impact and we greatly appreciate it!

Mike Rowe. Sir you’re my favorite on this thing called the internet

Thank you for all the amazing entertainment over the years.

Best One yet. Thank you

As always an excellent show Mike and crew. We seem to think this great Ewrth given to us from God is a dump. So sad that people just toss garbage all over the place.

NEVER bring a bottled water to a river clean up. Most excellent work guys

GREAT SHOW! Thanks for sharing!

One of the most interesting, entertaining, and eye opening things I've seen! Thank you always ALWAYS, ALWAYS MR. MIKE!❤

Thank you Mike for educating, entertaining and keeping it clean and lively. Trying to find your stories That’s the way I heard it. Thank you so much.. God Bless.

Those two guys right there could change the world. One too show us how it’s done and one too tell his story

What a role model Chad is! 👍 We should all pitch in however we can - the flooding is only going to increase, and although it's a nice thought to keep straws and plastic bags out of the ocean - every day plastic items are getting flooded on down streams, into rivers and eventually out into the ocean. Our streams and rivers need help! Thank you Chad, and thanks so much Mike for bringing this insight to us! 👍

Human of the Decade right here! Thanks for all you and the volunteers do for the world and the stupid humans who did the dumping.

That picture they have of the Mississippi River 😳 Glad they're all doing what they do. Keep up the good work y'all!

Incredible work!!! I remember my first trip to Mass as a kid I couldn't believe the amount of trash everywhere. I had never seen a body of water full of tires and garbage before the Mass trip.

You’ve ALWAYS been an inspiration to me, me and my father watched dirty jobs after his blue collar shift every day. I’ve written papers about you, an American legend !!!

I love this show! Thanks! Keep making more!

Love your shows Mike. Older ones and newer ones. You never skip a beat 🤜🤛. Need more like you bud 😎👍🇺🇸

We need more people like him in this world!! Much love and appreciation to him!!❤️

I met Chad many years ago (I think around 2004) when a friend's band, Johnny Russler and the Beach Bum Band, played in Keokuk, IA. Later that Summer one of my best friends, her son and I volunteered when Chad came to the Illinois River. We cleaned up Plum Island because it was becoming an eagle sanctuary instead of million dollars homes. I love seeing what he's been up to and that someone like Mike Rowe has brought Chad's story and his life mission to the public once again. Keep up the great work!❤

Always good to see Mike.

Amazing work!!❤

Thank you Mike, love it all! 😊😊😊
