Fresh off Episode 100, the crew is back in action—and it’s a fed fire kind of night. Matt, Unkie, and special guest Nick Hammond (aka @fireman1231) break down the wild world of federal fire service—what it’s like to get hired, how operations differ from city departments, and the perks of repping stars and stripes on the job.
Doug and Nick bring the laughs with stories of burned rice, busted fire alarms, and the weird world of military base responses. From heat casualty calls to clunky building number systems, it's a deep (and hilarious) dive into federal firefighting life.
PLUS—Freddy drops in with a fresh scalp and big takes.
And… we reveal the winner of our 100th Episode Giveaway! 🎉 Congrats to Ricky Byrd!
