  • Saddle Up, it’s Work

    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 don’t 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 ‘bust balls’!

    I’ve tried numerous times to listen to this podcast and even tried on different platforms; however the audio is absolutely TERRIBLE! You’d think they’d spend a little money so the listeners could actually hear what’s being said!

  • Losing sleep and happy about it

    You guys cost me 2 hours of sleep a night and I’ve never been happier. As Chief of a small career dept, I go into the firehouse every morning still thinking of a lesson or story from your show I stayed up in bed listening too. It reminds me of lessons I need to cover with them and what not. Appreciate what ya guys do to keep me mentally sharp .
