Listen now
Description
We might be just a bit late for graduation in some parts of the country, but this week we’re awarding some senior superlatives for the construction industry. Here are the categories. You’ll need to listen to hear the winners. Best partner for a zombie apocalypse: We ponder who would be best able to help us survive an onslaught of the undead. We ponder weapons, transportation, and power distribution. Most likely to do best on Naked and Afraid: We ponder (trying to keep our imaginations in check)  whether a roofer, carpenter, HVAC technician, or general laborer would do best in isolation in their birthday suit. Most likely to be able to build a whole building by themselves: Could anyone do it? We share an opinion Most likely to have the best hair on a jobsite: Who’s sporting the most impressive locks? Most likely to have the most entertaining injury story: Who’s going to have us laughing and wincing? Most likely to ramble on and on about the importance of their jobs: Who will have us rolling our eyes? Most likely to genuinely impress potential romantic partners with their construction stories: Who’s weaving tales to make them swoon? Will they try to impress with their skill or their bravery? Biggest prankster: Who’s looking to catch you off-guard? Most likely to win a Nobel Prize: Who’s heading to Stockholm? (That’s where they award most of the Nobel prizes.) Most likely to start a sentence with “Well, actually…”: Who’s going to set us straight. The most creative in-the-moment problem-solver: Who’s the best guy to have around when the crap hits the fan? Most likely to bring an acoustic guitar to the jobsite: Who’ll serenade the crew? (And how did Tyler not end up as an option on this one?) Most likely to have a run-in with OSHA: Who’s breaking the rules? Most likely to develop a work-related ulcer: Who’s sucking down the Pepto Bismol? Most likely to cause others to develop an ulcer: Who’s sending someone else to the GI specialist? Valedictorian: Who seems to always come out on top? Greatest Impact: Who’s really changing things?
