5By jeremy.baumguardnerLove the parents episode.Arrogance, your name in Mike Rowe
3By Seriouslynot?Have mercy, the man markets his book as inspired by Paul Harvey’s the Rest of the Story, but turns out to be a very arrogant telling of his own heroism in his own eyes. Made me laugh though, so. . .A warm and interesting book
