That's how it works with dirty jobs.</div> <bR> <div> And they're doing it in St. Louis.</div> <bR> <div> Tonight's episode of "Dirty Jobs" — the popular Discovery Channel show that airs at 8 p.m. on Tuesdays — will take place on the hard-edged shore of the </div> <bR> <div> St. Louis riverfront. </div> <bR> <div> The show focuses on the workings at Cash's Scrap Metal and Iron Corp. </div> <bR> <div> The job? Cutting up an old barge and melting it down.</div> <bR> <div> "We cut up anywhere from 20 to 40 barges a year" and each weigh between 200 and 400 tons, said Stuart Block, president of the company, which began in 1984. "It takes a crew of six about five days — a week's work — to cut it up."</div> <bR> <div> For this episode, Mike Rowe, the "Dirty Jobs" host who gets dirty and works alongside real employees for the various jobs visited by the show, worked an acetylene cutting torch, metal shears and a crane.</div> <bR> <div> "Mike even went with us to Alton Steel Co., where we go to melt this stuff down and worked with that," Block said.</div> <bR> <div> This is the second time Cash's has been featured on "Dirty Jobs." In 2005, the show's first season, Rowe visited the operation and worked in the metal recycling yard, situated at the company's headquarters at 3114 North Broadway.</div> <bR> <div> Because Block had already been in the show, he and another employee were invited to the taping of the 150th episode last summer in San Francisco.</div> <bR> <div> "So we were watching fireworks out in the bay that were being shot off from a barge," Block said. "I was standing next to one of the show's directors and I said, 'We cut those things up.' They thought it would be cool to have Mike do that, so they came back."</div> <bR> <div> For the show that airs tonight, the television crew came to St. Louis in October and filmed from dawn to dusk at the company's river terminal plant on East Nagel Avenue in St. Louis. </div> <bR> <div> Block, whose company employs about 100 people, said he is amazed at the results of being on television.</div> <bR> <div> "When the original (2005) show comes on reruns, we get people applying for jobs," Block said. "Even more, we get people with the last name of Cash calling us and wanting to buy the hats we wear." </div> <bR> <div> Two Cash employees, James Gee and John Engelmohr, will grab a lot of air time in tonight's episode. But one person you won't seek is Block.</div> <bR> <div> "I wasn't in the first show, because I tend to get tongue-tied," Block said. "I had my mind set that I would make an appearance in this one. But I chickened out."</div> <bR> <bR> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
