    Feb 27 2026

    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...

    • 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”

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!
