AN RV AND YOU GOTTEN DIRTY.
TELL US ALL ABOUT THAT. YOU
WERE IN AN RV WITH A BUNCH OF
GUYS. YEAH. WELL, NOT JUST A
BUNCH GUYS BUT THE ORIGINAL
CREW ON DIRTY JOBS WITH WHOM I
WORKED FOR ABOUT 12 YEARS
TRAVELING ALL OVER THE COUNTRY,
MAKING ALL KINDS OF TROUBLE
GOING ON ALL KINDS OF
ADVENTURES AND MISADVENTURE
VENTURES. WE WERE COOPED UP
JUST LIKE YOU. JUST LIKE
EVERYBODY ELSE. AND AFTER FOUR
MONTHS OF IT I CALLED
THE NETWORK AND SAID LOOK,
ESSENTIAL WORK IS HEADLINE
NEWS. WHY DON'T I GET THE OLD
CREW TOGETHER? WE'LL GET IN AN
RV, WE'LL ALL GET TESTED AND
WE'LL JUST SPEND A WEEK DRIVING
AROUND, GETTING SOME FRESH AIR,
SEEING IF THE GREAT OUTDOORS IS
WHERE WE LEFT IT. AND WHILE
WE'RE OUT THERE, WE'LL CHECK IN
WITH SOME OF OUR FAVORITE DIRTY
JOBBERS AND WE'LL LOOK BACK AT
OUR FAVORITE MOMENTS FROM
THE SHOW AND WILL LAUGH AND
WE'LL REMINISCE. AND IT'LL JUST
BE A IT'LL BE A GOOD HANG. AND
THEY SAID GO FOR IT. ALL RIGHT.

A DYSFUNCTIONAL FAMILY BUT A
FAMILY FOR SURE. MORE LIKE A
BAND OF BROTHERS, YOU KNOW. I

REALLY TALENTED CAMERAMEN AND
PRODUCER. THESE GUYS COULD HAVE
DONE ANYTHING THEY WANTED BUT
THEY FACED THEY STUCK WITH ME
FOR YEARS CRAWLING THROUGH
SEWERS AND SEPTIC TANKS AND
BRIDGES AND EVERYTHING ELSE.
