QUESTION: Been keeping up with your posts and wonder, after seeing the sporadic times you do post -- when and how do you allocate and prioritize your time? I'm sure contracts and jobs come first, but, come on, there are only, what, 24 to 25 hours in a day. How do you do it? Do you not have personal life?

QUESTION: Mike, do you have to pay your hosts for stuff you break or if you cost your hosts money for making a mistake? For example, the geoducks episode where you killed one of the ducks and the guy said, "That'll cost you $25 bucks".

ANSWER: I always offer to pay if I break something. No one's ever taken me up on it. We have, however, compensated people for slowing them down. Dirty Jobs does not maximize worker efficiency.
