    Ep 6 - Everything They Don't Teach You In Trade School

    Brian and Mike have been swinging tools side by side for 30 years. Mike calls Brain his brother from anotha motha! This one's the conversation you'd overhear at the end of a long job. Hard-earned advice for new electricians, how the trade has shifted across the decades, the daily frustrations nobody warns you about, and the tools that actually changed the work. Two friends, one trade, three decades of stories.

    Ep 5 - We Thought He Was Dead

    Filmed at the exact spot it all happened, a simple pickup football game spirals into chaos: glass slices a kid’s foot open, the rush to get help leads to a violent car crash, and in the aftermath, a 16-year-old Mike spends hours believing his friend is dead after mishearing “released” as “deceased.” A story about how fast things can go wrong, and how, somehow, they didn’t.

    Ep 1 - Intro to Blue Blue Collar

    The origin story of Blue Blue Collar — me and my dad, Mike, a 72-year-old North Jersey electrician, talking job-site stories, off-color jokes, and hard-earned wisdom from decades in the trades. We’re winging it. No script, no rules. Just a father and son breaking the seal on Blue Blue Collar. Why the name? It’s a mash-up of “blue collar” (working-class) and “blue humor” (a little inappropriate, always funny). My dad’s been making people laugh on job sites forever, and this first episode sets the stage: why humor’s survival when work gets brutal, and how stories of electrocutions, fireballs in the face, and freezing rooftops shaped his career. It’s raw, funny, and just the start. Grab a chair, crack a beer, and hang out with us for the first of many episodes on hard work, old-school wisdom, and finding laughter in the grind.
