Bruno shares a nostalgic and hilarious story about childhood dreams of becoming a fireman and a recent encounter with a very modern fire department vehicle that left him confused and slightly disappointed.

From childhood fantasies of big, loud fire trucks with flashing lights to the reality of encountering a fire department pickup truck with \"glistening little lights,\" this episode explores how our adult experiences sometimes pale in comparison to childhood expectations.

Bruno's observational comedy style tackles themes of nostalgia, career paths, and the gap between childhood dreams and adult reality, all while maintaining his signature tangential storytelling approach.

Perfect for fans of short-form comedy who appreciate stories that blend humor with universal childhood experiences.

Topics: Childhood dreams, fire trucks, emergency vehicles, nostalgia, career choices, observational comedy

Duration: 3:40 | Host: Bruno | Series: You Don't Have To
