Mike learns more about pig farming than he ever wanted to know as he feeds and cleans up after hundreds of pigs, plays with piglets, and artificially inseminates a sow. Why is it that no one ever let's mother nature take her course anymore? The amazing thing is that the semen can impregnant several sows. I suppose that is why they don't let mother nature work her magic anymore. After a day at the pig farm, Mike hits the streets of New York City with "Gum Busters" removing discarded gum from the sidewalks. The smell of gum being power blasted of the streets of NYC can only be called disgusting I am sure! An ideal job that can be set up in any city willing to pay you to keep their streets free and clear of discarded bubble gum!moreless
