I'm 31 now and grew up on Mike Rowe, never fails to entertain me!
Thanks for the years of awesome content!

Instead of getting "free" everything, this man and his family worked hard and what a surprise, success! Mike is great.

[garciamadrid]

This my friends is the embodiment of the great American dream. Ali, you’re a creative entrepreneur and America needs people like you. Thanks for posting this video, Mr. Rowe.

Ali gave my kids' 100 year old grandmother a pedicab ride back in the early 2000's in SD. She giggled and laughed like a school girl! It was priceless!

5:42 Love how mike's face changes when he hears how he started out and can see in his eye that is the American dream from starting from nothing to being something

[TooStinkinFine]

Working hard with integrity = success! Good show, Mike! I couldn’t pedal a bike for an hour, all day and my legs would fall off! LOL. God bless this young man and his family!

I love Mikes shirt "stop making stupid people famous"

[earndoggy]

People like this man are exactly who made America great to begin with and will continue to do so. Well done, sir, thank you for the amazing example you set. May your hard work and good fortune never desert you.

[quigleyclampett]

Mike you have impressed me for years. You are a talented man but when the guy told you his story, I could see the pride in your face of American spirit and hard work! Thank you sir for what you do!

[suprajzed]

Mike, you are absolutely one of the country's treasures. Wholesome as it gets and legitimately the best voice/narration throughout the entire industry from TV to anything on the internet. Thanks for what you do!

[jamesogden]

I kept waiting for the "embarrassing" bit, but this whole episode is just very Mike Rowe wholesome goodness. 🫡

“Your safety is among our priorities”

That got me.

[jasonsimpkins]

When I read pedicab I honestly thought getting a pedicure in a cab ride.

[Eupher]

Another winning show! Working hard pays off, despite what too many think!

[carolj]

One of my favorite memories is taking my then-10 yr old granddaughter to Savannah, GA and taking a pedi-cab ride from Leopold's Ice Cream Shop to our hotel. Those folks have calves of steel!

[ironhead]

Work ethic, something a lot of Americans need to learn about

[KA-qwcv]

Wow! $500 when he landed in tne US and now he is a successful business man. Congratulations! Great episode!

[howardmallisonii]

Rode in a pedicab in Berlin. Wonderful experience, and faster than following the road as they could zip through the parks.

[vangoodwin]

Could you do a whole season of stories like this today? AMERICA needs this spirit to be celebrated.
With Respect and Love, You are in my prayers

An immigrant from Turkey... putting to shame native born American's in virtues and work ethic values. I'm 70, I grew up in an era where if you didn't work, you didn't eat or have a place to live, and it was the unquestioned societal rule that you did your best to avoid.

Now days, people expect or feel entitled to be bailed out… Whether it is still living at home with your parents at age 25 (or more) or expecting free social program handouts, such as "universal basic income (UBI)", that's being handed out without any requirement to do anything, in order to earn it.

My self-pride and sense of self-sufficiency would never allow me to accept a UBI handout, unless I was truly down and out, after exhausting all avenues to earn my own way. For many, "homelessness" is a chosen lifestyle, and not due to unfortunate circumstances that were beyond their control.

The expression of pride on Mike Rowe's face, as Ali tells his story, says it all.
