Most of us think the good old days were better — but were they really? Maybe if you miss the days of sweaty union jobs, insane construction stories, and old-school camaraderie, this episode’s for you. Skull Session’s Mike Hussey and Rich dive headfirst into the nostalgia of the dot-com boom, crazy jobsite antics, and how those bonds actually built a lifetime...

You’ll discover:

  • Why construction work in the 80s was like a chaotic playground with Jamaican carpenters, Irish banter, and wild safety stories
  • How the dot-com bubble burst, leaving behind construction ghosts and empty offices that no one moved into
  • The truth about the "glory days" of paid vacations and laid-back union life — and why that’s almost extinct now
  • The hilarious—and horrifying—latest in French fry weaponry, piranhas, and the crazy stories from offbeat wildlife encounters
  • Why the Olympics, drones, and tech advancements are changing the game faster than you can say “self-driving robots”

If you’re craving the behind-the-scenes dirt of blue-collar life, wild jobsite tales, and a dose of what the future might hold in tech and health, this episode’s your new favorite guilty pleasure. Perfect for anyone who remembers punching a clock, sharing a smoke break, or just wants a good laugh about how times—and stories—have changed.

And yes, it’s packed with enough humor, history, and “you won’t believe this” moments to make you smile and hit replay. Because honestly, life's too short to miss out on these gems—and you'll wish you were listening when the piranha stories came out!

Let’s keep the good times rolling and the stories coming. Tune in, laugh loud, and remember: some things from the old days? Still pretty wild.
