>> AMERICANS HAVE SUFFERED
THROUGH PANDEMICS AND MORE
ADVERTISE AS TEARS THAT I CAN
NAME.
WHERE THERE ARE CALAMITIES
THERE ARE PEOPLE DOING NICE
THINGS FOR THEIR COMMUNITY IN A
SELFLESS WAY.
>> Dana: FROM MIKE ROSE SHOW
RETURNING THE FAVOR.
WHICH FOCUSES ON AMERICANS
DOING GOOD DEEDS FOR EACH OTHER.
FACEBOOK IS SHUTTING IT DOWN.
WE REACHED OUT TO FACEBOOK FOR
A STATEMENT WHY IT CANCELED THE
SHOW.
WE HAVEN’T HEARD BACK.
MIKE WHY DO YOU THINK THE SHOW
IS CANCELED?
>> I THINK IT RAN ITS COURSE.
IT’S A TRICKY WORD THESE DAYS
CANCELLATION.
THE SHOW WAS CANCELED.
I WASN’T.
IF I HAD BEEN, I GUESS MY PAGE
WOULD BE SHUT DOWN AND I
WOULDN’T BE READING 20,000
COMMENTS FROM PEOPLE WHO WANT
TO KNOW WHO MOVED THEIR CHEESE.
BUT LOOK, THIS IS A STRANGE
BUSINESS THAT THE THREE OF US
ARE IN AND SOMETIMES DECISIONS
ARE MADE FOR REASONS THAT DON’T
APPEAR OBVIOUS.
I FEEL BAD FOR 2 1/2 MILLION
FANS OF THIS SHOW BECAUSE
RETURNING THE FAVOR WASN’T LIKE
THE OTHER SHOWS I HAD WORKED ON.
THIS THING WAS PROGRAMMED
SPECIFICALLY BY THE PEOPLE WHO
WATCHED IT.
IT WAS VERY, VERY PERSONAL AND
THEY LOOK AT A SHOW LIKE THAT
AND THEY LOOK AROUND AND SEE
TIMES LIKE THIS AND IT MAKES
PERFECT SENSE FOR THAT SHOW TO
KEEP GOING.
BY THE WAY, AN EMMY
AWARD-WINNING SHOW.
I DON’T KNOW IF YOU CAN SEE
THAT.
>> Bill: IT WAS A GREAT IDEA.
A GREAT SHOW.
>> Dana: SHOW US THE EMMY AGAIN.
>> Bill: NICE AND SHINY.
>> THAT’S ENOUGH.
>> Bill: MIKE, HERE IN NEW YORK
LET ME SHOW YOU WHAT’S
HAPPENING OUTSIDE OUR WINDOW
HERE.
WE’RE IN THE MIDDLE OF A
BLIZZARD HERE IN NEW YORK AND
YOU HAVE JOHN KERRY TALKING
ABOUT THE PEOPLE OF WEST
VIRGINIA AND WESTERN
PENNSYLVANIA LAST WEEK IN THE
FOLLOWING WAY.
WATCH.
>> WHAT PRESIDENT BIDEN WANTS
TO DO IS MAKE SURE THOSE FOLKS
HAVE BETTER CHOICES.
THAT THEY HAVE ALTERNATIVES.
THEY CAN BE THE PEOPLE WHO GO
TO WORK TO MAKE THE SOLAR
PANELS.
>> Bill: MAKE SURE THOSE FOLKS
HAVE BETTER CHOICES.
LEARN TO SOLAR.
HOW IS THAT GOING TO WORK OUT?
>> IF HE HAS A P.R. PERSON, YOU
KNOW, MAYBE THAT PERSON CAN
LOOK FOR A NEW GIG.
I WOULD BE CAREFUL ABOUT THAT
KIND OF PHRASEOLOGY.
BUT THAT’S JUST ME.
HE IS NOT ENTIRELY WRONG,
HOWEVER, IN MY VIEW.
MY FOUNDATION TRAINS PEOPLE FOR
THESE KINDS OF JOBS AND
KEYSTONE JUST COST 11,000 JOBS
AND PEOPLE IN WEST VIRGINIA, I
GET ALL THAT.
BUT IF YOU HAVE A SKILL THAT’S
IN DEMAND AND YOU ARE WILLING
TO GO TO WHERE THE WORK IS THE
OPPORTUNITIES ARE STILL OUT
THERE.
WHEN WE COME THROUGH THE OTHER
SIDE OF THIS PANDEMIC, THERE IS
GOING TO BE A NEED FOR SKILLED
LABOR IN MY VIEW LIKE WE’VE
NEVER SEEN BEFORE.
OUR GOVERNMENT RIGHT NOW MIGHT
BE HAVING ISSUES WITH FOSSIL
FUELS BUT THE COUNTRY ISN’T.
I’M NOT TALKING ABOUT THE STUFF
AT THE PUMP.
I’M TALKING ABOUT THE STUFF IN
YOUR YOGA PANTS AND THE
PLASTICS AND PETROLEUM PRODUCTS
IN THE COMPUTER ALLOWING US TO
HAVE OUR CONVERSATION NOW.
ENERGY CAN’T BE THE ENEMY.
IT JUST CAN’T.
AND WHILE THE PEOPLE IN THE
INDUSTRY DO NEED TO LEARN TO
PIVOT JUST LIKE THE REST OF US,
IT DOESN’T MAKE A TON OF SENSE
TO TELL THEM TO GO OUT AND
START MAKING SOLAR PANELS.
>> Bill: HARDER TO SELL IN THE
MIDDLE OF A BLIZZARD, TOO I
WOULD SAY.
>> Dana: ABOUT YOUR PODCAST, I
LOVED LISTENING TO THE WAY I
HEARD IT.
YOU HAVE A NEW PROJECT?
>> YEAH, THE PODCAST TURNED
INTO A TV SHOW CALLED 6 DEGREES
WHICH HAS THE SAME
NON-TRADITIONAL APPROACH TO
HISTORY, EACH EPISODES STARTS
WITH A STUPID QUESTION CAN A
HORSESHOE HELP FIND YOUR SOUL
MATE.
THE ANSWER IS YES AND I GET AN
HOUR TO DO WITH WHAT I WANT
WITH PUPPETS, RECREATIONS,
CURIOUS COSTUMES, WIGGS THAT
DON’T FIT.
IT IS A ROMP.
WHEN THE DUST SETTLES YOU LEARN
THINGS ABOUT ALL SORTS OF STUFF
YOU DIDN’T KNOW YOU CARED ABOUT.
