Iām 15 minutes in and the guest is just getting on. The first 15 minutes is sound effects and commercials. Hard for my ADHD brain to get into so will miss out on the good content because Iām not wasting time sitting through the money making junk.
Fantastic Podcast! I love the stories from the N.Y. guys and really enjoy the banter between them and the crew. Thank you for this great Podcast! I take something away from each episode!
I really enjoy these guys and their banter. I hope more current members get to appear on the podcast. Great humor and good stories. Sometimes I donāt listen to the 2 hour + podcast episodes, but I realize that many retired members and career firefighters love that. Highly recommend this podcast, love it when they ābust ballsā!
Love all the stories told by the awesome guest! True heroes!
