    Most people think the future of medicine is all about high-tech pills and billion-dollar clinical trials. Spoiler: it’s mostly about old-school ideas, gut feelings, and step-by-step dirt road wisdom—plus a little bit of conspiracy theory snack. In this episode, Mike & Rich go full throttle on the wild truth behind cancer treatments, why YouTube nukes your episodes faster than a bad date, and how neighborhood legends might just save your life someday.You’ll discover why Ivermectin is the black sheep of the medical herd, how clinical trials are basically “money in the bank” for Big Pharma, and why the best cures often come from the backyard barstool talk, not the lab. We break down the crazy story of a guy skinning deer in Kentucky, the bizarre world of Deer Skin Fetish fanatics, and how our health system is more about fancy waiting rooms than actual saving lives.This episode isn’t just a mind-bending conspiracy buffet; it’s a wake-up call for anyone tired of paying $350,000 in a year for chemo, only to get ghosted by real science. If you’re sick of the sanitized story and want raw, unfiltered truth—plus some laughs along the way—this one’s for you. Think of it as your VIP pass to the underground health club, where wisdom is free and the rules are made-up on the spot.Ready to question everything you thought you knew about medicine, media, and the absurdity of snow piles blocking your street? Hit play now—because the only thing more dangerous than a wild deer skinned in Kentucky is missing out.[Guest credibility? Nope—just two guys with mismatched socks and a passion for the truth, no doctor’s coat required.]Perfect for the skeptical, the conspiracy-curious, and anyone with a sense of humor. Buckle up—your blinkered worldview just got another punch in the face. Stay curious, stay laughing, and keep those skulls up.

    Feb 13 2026

    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!

    Jan 30 2026

    Most planes, cars, and even some of us—when pushed to the limit—can freeze, flip upside down, or blow a gasket in a blizzard. Ever wonder what it’s like when a tiny commuter jet decides to do an impromptu acrobatic show at 200 yards from takeoff? Or how a hero mechanic magically fixes a nearly dead MRI machine with just a few fingers on a ladder? Buckle up, because in this episode, we unpack the wild, the weird, and the downright terrifying stories from the skies, snowy streets, and beyond.

    From mysterious plane crashes in Maine involving chefs and millionaires to the chaos of military jumps in icy Washington—these tales remind us that when it comes to flying and weather, Mother Nature and human error are the ultimate duo of disaster. You’ll discover: how ice on wings can flip a jet, the crazy risks of private planes, and why some pilots just don’t read the weather forecast. We also break down the bizarre ways Minnesota’s now rewriting its flag—turns out, it looks suspiciously like Somalia’s starry emblem—and how imported populations, welfare scams, and a touch of local political madness shape the Land of 10,000 Lakes.

    And don’t worry, we’re not just talking blue flags and falling through ice—there’s a heavy dose of humor about the absurdity of medical scams, the ridiculousness of protesting in the dead of winter, and how Hollywood’s fake moon landings might be the best-kept secret in space. Plus, we dive into the insanity of the healthcare system, the scammy billion-dollar MRI industry, and the secret world of gold storage outside the states. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to jump out of a plane, get caught in a snowstorm, or survive a traffic jam on a runway, this episode’s your ticket to the crazy side of life.

    Perfect for thrill-seekers, weather-warriors, conspiracy theory fans, and anyone who loves a good tale of human bravado and blunder—this episode is your all-access pass to the chaos behind the scenes. Hit play and prepare to laugh, wonder, and shake your head at the madness that is our world’s most bizarre stories. Trust us—you'll want to hear about this before the next storm hits.
