Wow, to be honest i am shocked about the other player calling the shove on the flop with a pair of 66 and no SD no FD and a random 4.

Pre-flop might be ok given dynamics, i think this comes from a time where people limped and raised and cold called pre with any 4 cards that had anything going on, any pair , and Axs, so when a hand is double suited, high cards and somewhat connected, it becomes a monster. I do not know if nowadays many people consistently play this badly. You obviously still have the maniacs or the loose aggressive 80% VPIP players, but they are just isolated cases and they also know more about the game in general.

Obviously you replace the 8 with a T and it becomes a great hand to 4b in the current times as well.
