Speaker 9 (05:35):
There is a mister mister mister clean. Oh no, it's
it's comedian Dave Dyer. That is a that is a
fleshy head, Dave. I got a nice letter here ready, Yes,
dear Bob and Tom show. I work at boot Jack
Tavern in Manitou Beach, Michigan. That's the sound familiar. Uh
(05:59):
uh we hosted Dave Dyer and you and your is
this is this your friend Jason Filin Mayors.
Speaker 10 (06:08):
Yes, yeah, he opened for me. Yes, you guys killed
it great sell, Thank you, thank you. So they even
met you after the show, he says, from Jeffrey in
Manitou Beach, Michigan.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Well thanks Jeffery.
Speaker 5 (06:24):
You know, after the shows, guys, I like to mingle
with the commoners for a little bit sort of, you know.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
See how things are going.
Speaker 5 (06:31):
Take the temperature of the environment I'm in and uh,
I just I just met the guy.
Speaker 9 (06:36):
Yeah, you wrote a nice letter.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
That's good.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Yes, that's very nice of him, very kind.
Speaker 9 (06:41):
So now we should explain to people you are a
you go with Michigander or Michiganian. We go Michigander, Okay, okay,
and you are you are a professional fireman, yep, as
well as a comedian. Are you you're not at the
fire Are you at the firehouse?
Speaker 2 (06:56):
No, I'm not.
Speaker 5 (06:57):
I worked until seven this morning. We do twenty four town.
We go seven A to seven A and then I've
been home since.
Speaker 9 (07:05):
So because it'd be really funny if we were doing
this all of a sudden the siren goes off and
you had to get up and leave.
Speaker 5 (07:10):
Well, do you want to take a ten minute break
and I'll shoot over there.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
If that's what's going to make this segment better?
Speaker 7 (07:19):
Now?
Speaker 9 (07:20):
Do you get to drive the truck?
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Sure?
Speaker 7 (07:22):
I do.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Yeah. Listen, we are a very small department.
Speaker 5 (07:25):
You know, big city departments have people who are very
much designated in certain positions. You've got a person who
drives the truck. They're called an equipment operator. You got
an officer in the passenger seat, and everybody's got their
role who's in the truck. Ourselves being a very small
what's called the combination department, meaning we have a combination
of full time folks and paid on call folks, you
(07:45):
kind of have to be a jack of all trades.
You have to do everything, like I may I drive
the truck in the day when the chief is there
because he rides in the officer seat and then he
goes home to his lovely family at four thirty pm.
And then I'm in the officer seat and are paid
on calls, comes and works with me overnight.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Did you that's probably more description than you were looking for.
Speaker 9 (08:05):
Right, Did you have any Did you have anything exciting
last evening?
Speaker 2 (08:09):
No, we didn't.
Speaker 5 (08:10):
It was it was a pretty quiet thing. And that's
one of those things you have superstition. You don't want
to say that because now the guy who's ah is
going to get something big.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
But oh well, I'm off today.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
Okay, Dave.
Speaker 11 (08:20):
Do you ever get to a place where the fire
is going and you go, you know what, it's safer
and better if we just let this place burn to
the ground.
Speaker 5 (08:30):
Well, let me tell you something, Joshi. This is you
may want to write this down for when you enter
the fire service. Yes, your well, your first your first
priority when you get onseeing Josh's rescue, you want to
make sure if there's any any danger to human life,
that's the first priority. Your second priority, rather than the
(08:51):
actual place that's on fire, is.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Making sure you set up a situation. So other stuff
doesn't catch on fire.
Speaker 5 (08:57):
Ah, that's called uh then I'm not going to get
too deep in and it's called exposures. But so, yes,
there are situations where it's simply too dangerous to send
somebody in, and you kind of you know, they call
it hit it.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Hard from the yard, surround and drowned.
Speaker 5 (09:15):
There's all sorts of very technical terms, but you basically
just you know, at a certain point something is a
total loss and you just kind of you don't let
it burn.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
You try to put it out, but you're not sending
anybody in.
Speaker 9 (09:26):
Is Halloween a big night for fires?
Speaker 5 (09:31):
No, not really ironically, you know what is what's a
potential bigger day is Thanksgiving with all these people trying
to deep fry their turkeys stuff like that. So that's
a much bigger that's a much bigger holiday to worry about. Now,
the people of Detroit may have a different have a
different answer than me, because you know, traditionally on October thirtieth,
(09:52):
that's what's called Devil's Night. They've had I don't think
it's nearly as bad as it used to be, but
they've had a lot of situations where they've had a
lot of house fires on that night.
Speaker 9 (10:00):
I see, Dave dire. We haven't talked about your cat, Hey, Dave,
your personal life lately?
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 12 (10:06):
Oh real quick, I have asked one more fire. Yes
your question, Uh, let'sten, Jeff. Let's say it's Tuesday afternoon.
You got the ladder truck. You're changing the oil. Are
you doing that in house? Are you taking that down
to the Jeffy lube?
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Well? No, they won't fit in jiffy loube first of all.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
So that the house you get the run. What are
you doing?
Speaker 2 (10:28):
It is in house?
Speaker 5 (10:29):
And actually what we have is there's a there's an
organization uh well business, I should say that actually services
a lot of the fire departments in our area. They
come on scene unless it's like a major fix on
the on the engines and trucks and stuff like that.
Speaker 7 (10:43):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (10:43):
They they come and do most repairs, most maintenance and
stuff like that right on scene.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
So you you aren't changing the oil yourself?
Speaker 5 (10:50):
No, no, no, no, we we will do very basic little stuff.
Speaker 9 (10:54):
But if the okay, so the guys changing the oil,
the siren goes off, does that mean he's not gonna
go up and show you the air filter? And try
to sell you a new one.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
No, the yeah, the the u CV valve or whatever. No,
it's very coordinated. So that like we'll get another one
of our engines. That'll be our lot a coconut shells going.
Speaker 9 (11:18):
Okay, now I'm looking at my I was just handed
this note. Be sure to wish Dave a happy birthday.
Speaker 5 (11:24):
Your birthday not today, about a week and a half ago.
I turned fifty seven. Dude, you're celebrating.
Speaker 9 (11:31):
Aren't you gonna get kicked off the fire of the
fire squad now if you're what's the mandatory retirement age.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Well it's not fifty seven.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
I can still lift. I can still lift the sack
of potatoes down.
Speaker 9 (11:44):
Come on, okay, just asking you leave?
Speaker 4 (11:47):
No, you leave the potatoes so you have French fries, right.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Yes, exactly. Thank you.
Speaker 5 (11:52):
Always appreciate I always appreciate chick being on my side
and sharp shooting and.
Speaker 9 (11:56):
To let me know, is there, I'm I'm is there
a with you? Posing and like a leopard skin.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Tight not a popular one, No.
Speaker 8 (12:07):
You mean like the firefighter.
Speaker 9 (12:08):
Yeah, the fight the fire fighters of Grand Rapids, Michigan,
and there's Dave Dyer or the leopard skins beat over
a full throat couch.
Speaker 5 (12:17):
I could show you a picture of our department with
everybody clothes, and you go.
Speaker 9 (12:24):
Not a lot of moisture production, happy, lot of.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Not a lot of physiques. Yeah, I just turned fifty seven.
You know what I love. I don't mind it all
getting older.
Speaker 5 (12:33):
In fact, I love this kind of this next level
that I'm entering. I have realized that at this age
I can finally say with confidence that if an eighty
year old guy takes a swing at me, I'm swinging back.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
I'm swinging back.
Speaker 5 (12:50):
If we're both eligible to live in an assisted living facility,
let's test those reflexes.
Speaker 7 (12:55):
Help.
Speaker 9 (12:55):
It's good to know.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
It is good to know.
Speaker 9 (12:59):
Yeah, Okay, Now, how's the rest of your family?
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Everybody's good. The girl's why.
Speaker 5 (13:04):
I got one daughter in Philadelphia. I got another daughter
in the Detroit area. Janice and I were hanging in there,
tolerating each other.
Speaker 9 (13:12):
So your wife is still living in Michigan.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
She's still in Michigan, yep. Yeah, although in your house,
in my house, yep.
Speaker 7 (13:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
When we're still in the same bedroom. I know that's
a very common thing.
Speaker 5 (13:23):
Is people have been married for a long time we're
still in the same bedroom.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Yep. I sleep in the closet, she's in the bed,
but we're still in the same bedroom. So we are
empty nesters, and we've been empty nesters for a little
while now.
Speaker 5 (13:39):
But the problem with that is that they need to
find a different name than empty nesters. Because both of
our girls left a lot of stuff behind. There was
nothing empty about our situation. I agree, Janice and I live.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
In a storage garage with two less people.
Speaker 5 (13:59):
People come to ours there like your hoarders, no parents,
None of this is our I.
Speaker 9 (14:04):
Think it's time for a garage sale.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
Yes, yeah, I may live in the garage.
Speaker 9 (14:11):
Now do you are you? I can see in the
background you have a variety of what looked like formal
documents framed. I assume those are all fraudulent.
Speaker 7 (14:21):
They are.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Yeah, they're all this little bananas on them and everything.
Speaker 5 (14:24):
Oh a lot of those are my certifications for my
fire stuff and my em T certification and all sorts
of stuff like that.
Speaker 9 (14:30):
Really so ironic.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
There's my old my old fire acid. Yeah it probably is.
There's my old firefighter helmet.
Speaker 5 (14:40):
Now here's another cred of interesting fire service information. If
you ever took you looking at a fire scene.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Boy, Christie's did not sound at all interested in that.
Speaker 8 (14:47):
Oh god, all right.
Speaker 5 (14:51):
The black helmets. If you look at the fire scene,
the black helmets are worn by the firefighters. Those are
the people who are doing a lot of the work.
Because firefighters not is a job nave. It's an actual
rank within the hierarchy of the fire service.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
The next level up.
Speaker 5 (15:06):
In most cases, some departments are different. But like in ours,
it's a red helmet for the officers.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
I happen to have a red helmet and a brag,
but a red helmet.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
And then the white helmets are the chiefs. So when
you when you look at a fire scene, you can
kind of tell.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
The hierarchy of who's who? Wow, who care?
Speaker 7 (15:24):
No?
Speaker 2 (15:24):
No, I like it, thanks Josh.
Speaker 9 (15:27):
As a white helmet guy supervised doesn't go into the fire.
Speaker 8 (15:30):
He sends everybody else in.
Speaker 5 (15:33):
Well, how deep do you want to get into this, Christy?
Be careful about the questions, he asked.
Speaker 9 (15:38):
And the yellow helmets, men, are there yellow helmets for
the chickens?
Speaker 5 (15:42):
Yeah, yes, there are actually out West Los Angeles and
stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
You'll see a lot of yellow helmets.
Speaker 5 (15:48):
I don't know what ranked those guys, those guys over
gals are But yes, you just see a lot of yellow.
Speaker 11 (15:52):
And those helmets say Carl's Junior. Whereas your helmets.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Wherever you can advertise, wherever you can advertise.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Has your wife ever asked you to wear any fire.
Speaker 9 (16:03):
Equipment in the in the aforementioned boudoir? You know all
tho such, You know, I like just the boots.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
We've been married thirty two years. She doesn't ask a
whole lot.
Speaker 7 (16:16):
I see.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Years.
Speaker 9 (16:19):
But you have to leave all the gear at the firehouse,
right You don't have like.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
I have two sets.
Speaker 5 (16:25):
I have one set that stays at the firehouse when
I'm on shift, and I also have a spare set
in my car because when I'm not on duty, if
we get a major incident like somebody's unresponsive or a
vehicle exucation or structure fire, I will go to those
things while I'm off duty if it's a major incident.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
So I have a spare set of gear in my
car with me. All right, okay, always ready?
Speaker 9 (16:49):
Yeah, okay, good to know. Do you wear ordinary underwear
or something more a little more exotic Because you'd arrive
on the scene, you got to switch the stufts in
your car. You got to change? Can you change in
your car?
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Well, they're big enough.
Speaker 5 (17:04):
It's big enough to I don't know why I'm charging
at the camera like I'm you know, you're in trouble.
But it's the pants and everything are big enough so
that you wear them, like.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
For your irregular pants and everything. You guys at the station, Yeah,
at the station. Yeah, you wouldn't want to wear just
your underwear under those things. It's very abrasive. You'd be
a disease.
Speaker 9 (17:25):
You do wear no Max underwear?
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Right, No, we have no Max items on.
Speaker 5 (17:31):
I'm not gonna wear no Max under you ever, you
ever put no Max against your skin.
Speaker 9 (17:35):
I'd rather have no Mix underwear than have a have
a toast toast. Better word, I don't want to have
I don't want to have a weenie roast. Well he
survived the fire.

(05:59):
uh we hosted Dave Dyer and you and your is
this is this your friend Jason Filin Mayors.
Speaker 10 (06:08):
Yes, yeah, he opened for me. Yes, you guys killed

met you after the show, he says, from Jeffrey in
Manitou Beach, Michigan.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Well thanks Jeffery.
Speaker 5 (06:24):
You know, after the shows, guys, I like to mingle
with the commoners for a little bit sort of, you know.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
See how things are going.
Speaker 5 (06:31):
Take the temperature of the environment I'm in and uh,
I just I just met the guy.
Speaker 9 (06:36):
Yeah, you wrote a nice letter.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
That's good.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Yes, that's very nice of him, very kind.
Speaker 9 (06:41):
So now we should explain to people you are a
you go with Michigander or Michiganian. We go Michigander, Okay, okay,
and you are you are a professional fireman, yep, as
well as a comedian. Are you you're not at the
fire Are you at the firehouse?
Speaker 2 (06:56):
No, I'm not.
Speaker 5 (06:57):
I worked until seven this morning. We do twenty four town.
We go seven A to seven A and then I've
been home since.
Speaker 9 (07:05):
So because it'd be really funny if we were doing
this all of a sudden the siren goes off and
you had to get up and leave.
Speaker 5 (07:10):
Well, do you want to take a ten minute break
and I'll shoot over there.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
If that's what's going to make this segment better?
Speaker 7 (07:19):
Now?
Speaker 9 (07:20):
Do you get to drive the truck?
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Sure?
Speaker 7 (07:22):
I do.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Yeah. Listen, we are a very small department.
Speaker 5 (07:25):
You know, big city departments have people who are very
much designated in certain positions. You've got a person who
drives the truck. They're called an equipment operator. You got
an officer in the passenger seat, and everybody's got their
role who's in the truck. Ourselves being a very small
what's called the combination department, meaning we have a combination
of full time folks and paid on call folks, you
(07:45):
kind of have to be a jack of all trades.
You have to do everything, like I may I drive
the truck in the day when the chief is there
because he rides in the officer seat and then he
goes home to his lovely family at four thirty pm.
And then I'm in the officer seat and are paid
on calls, comes and works with me overnight.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Did you that's probably more description than you were looking for.
Speaker 9 (08:05):
Right, Did you have any Did you have anything exciting
last evening?
Speaker 2 (08:09):
No, we didn't.
Speaker 5 (08:10):
It was it was a pretty quiet thing. And that's
one of those things you have superstition. You don't want
to say that because now the guy who's ah is
going to get something big.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
But oh well, I'm off today.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
Okay, Dave.
Speaker 11 (08:20):
Do you ever get to a place where the fire
is going and you go, you know what, it's safer
and better if we just let this place burn to
the ground.
Speaker 5 (08:30):
Well, let me tell you something, Joshi. This is you
may want to write this down for when you enter
the fire service. Yes, your well, your first your first
priority when you get onseeing Josh's rescue, you want to
make sure if there's any any danger to human life,
that's the first priority. Your second priority, rather than the
(08:51):
actual place that's on fire, is.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Making sure you set up a situation. So other stuff
doesn't catch on fire.
Speaker 5 (08:57):
Ah, that's called uh then I'm not going to get
too deep in and it's called exposures. But so, yes,
there are situations where it's simply too dangerous to send
somebody in, and you kind of you know, they call
it hit it.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Hard from the yard, surround and drowned.
Speaker 5 (09:15):
There's all sorts of very technical terms, but you basically
just you know, at a certain point something is a
total loss and you just kind of you don't let
it burn.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
You try to put it out, but you're not sending
anybody in.
Speaker 9 (09:26):
Is Halloween a big night for fires?
Speaker 5 (09:31):
No, not really ironically, you know what is what's a
potential bigger day is Thanksgiving with all these people trying
to deep fry their turkeys stuff like that. So that's
a much bigger that's a much bigger holiday to worry about. Now,
the people of Detroit may have a different have a
different answer than me, because you know, traditionally on October thirtieth,
(09:52):
that's what's called Devil's Night. They've had I don't think
it's nearly as bad as it used to be, but
they've had a lot of situations where they've had a
lot of house fires on that night.
Speaker 9 (10:00):
I see, Dave dire. We haven't talked about your cat, Hey, Dave,
your personal life lately?
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 12 (10:06):
Oh real quick, I have asked one more fire. Yes
your question, Uh, let'sten, Jeff. Let's say it's Tuesday afternoon.
You got the ladder truck. You're changing the oil. Are
you doing that in house? Are you taking that down
to the Jeffy lube?
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Well? No, they won't fit in jiffy loube first of all.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
So that the house you get the run. What are
you doing?
Speaker 2 (10:28):
It is in house?
Speaker 5 (10:29):
And actually what we have is there's a there's an
organization uh well business, I should say that actually services
a lot of the fire departments in our area. They
come on scene unless it's like a major fix on
the on the engines and trucks and stuff like that.
Speaker 7 (10:43):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (10:43):
They they come and do most repairs, most maintenance and
stuff like that right on scene.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
So you you aren't changing the oil yourself?
Speaker 5 (10:50):
No, no, no, no, we we will do very basic little stuff.
Speaker 9 (10:54):
But if the okay, so the guys changing the oil,
the siren goes off, does that mean he's not gonna
go up and show you the air filter? And try
to sell you a new one.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
No, the yeah, the the u CV valve or whatever. No,
it's very coordinated. So that like we'll get another one
of our engines. That'll be our lot a coconut shells going.
Speaker 9 (11:18):
Okay, now I'm looking at my I was just handed
this note. Be sure to wish Dave a happy birthday.
Speaker 5 (11:24):
Your birthday not today, about a week and a half ago.
I turned fifty seven. Dude, you're celebrating.
Speaker 9 (11:31):
Aren't you gonna get kicked off the fire of the
fire squad now if you're what's the mandatory retirement age.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Well it's not fifty seven.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
I can still lift. I can still lift the sack
of potatoes down.
Speaker 9 (11:44):
Come on, okay, just asking you leave?
Speaker 4 (11:47):
No, you leave the potatoes so you have French fries, right.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Yes, exactly. Thank you.
Speaker 5 (11:52):
Always appreciate I always appreciate chick being on my side
and sharp shooting and.
Speaker 9 (11:56):
To let me know, is there, I'm I'm is there
a with you? Posing and like a leopard skin.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Tight not a popular one, No.
Speaker 8 (12:07):
You mean like the firefighter.
Speaker 9 (12:08):
Yeah, the fight the fire fighters of Grand Rapids, Michigan,
and there's Dave Dyer or the leopard skins beat over
a full throat couch.
Speaker 5 (12:17):
I could show you a picture of our department with
everybody clothes, and you go.
Speaker 9 (12:24):
Not a lot of moisture production, happy, lot of.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Not a lot of physiques. Yeah, I just turned fifty seven.
You know what I love. I don't mind it all
getting older.
Speaker 5 (12:33):
In fact, I love this kind of this next level
that I'm entering. I have realized that at this age
I can finally say with confidence that if an eighty
year old guy takes a swing at me, I'm swinging back.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
I'm swinging back.
Speaker 5 (12:50):
If we're both eligible to live in an assisted living facility,
let's test those reflexes.
Speaker 7 (12:55):
Help.
Speaker 9 (12:55):
It's good to know.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
It is good to know.
Speaker 9 (12:59):
Yeah, Okay, Now, how's the rest of your family?
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Everybody's good. The girl's why.
Speaker 5 (13:04):
I got one daughter in Philadelphia. I got another daughter
in the Detroit area. Janice and I were hanging in there,
tolerating each other.
Speaker 9 (13:12):
So your wife is still living in Michigan.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
She's still in Michigan, yep. Yeah, although in your house,
in my house, yep.
Speaker 7 (13:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
When we're still in the same bedroom. I know that's
a very common thing.
Speaker 5 (13:23):
Is people have been married for a long time we're
still in the same bedroom.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Yep. I sleep in the closet, she's in the bed,
but we're still in the same bedroom. So we are
empty nesters, and we've been empty nesters for a little
while now.
Speaker 5 (13:39):
But the problem with that is that they need to
find a different name than empty nesters. Because both of
our girls left a lot of stuff behind. There was
nothing empty about our situation. I agree, Janice and I live.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
In a storage garage with two less people.
Speaker 5 (13:59):
People come to ours there like your hoarders, no parents,
None of this is our I.
Speaker 9 (14:04):
Think it's time for a garage sale.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
Yes, yeah, I may live in the garage.
Speaker 9 (14:11):
Now do you are you? I can see in the
background you have a variety of what looked like formal
documents framed. I assume those are all fraudulent.
Speaker 7 (14:21):
They are.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Yeah, they're all this little bananas on them and everything.
Speaker 5 (14:24):
Oh a lot of those are my certifications for my
fire stuff and my em T certification and all sorts
of stuff like that.
Speaker 9 (14:30):
Really so ironic.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
There's my old my old fire acid. Yeah it probably is.
There's my old firefighter helmet.
Speaker 5 (14:40):
Now here's another cred of interesting fire service information. If
you ever took you looking at a fire scene.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Boy, Christie's did not sound at all interested in that.
Speaker 8 (14:47):
Oh god, all right.
Speaker 5 (14:51):
The black helmets. If you look at the fire scene,
the black helmets are worn by the firefighters. Those are
the people who are doing a lot of the work.
Because firefighters not is a job nave. It's an actual
rank within the hierarchy of the fire service.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
The next level up.
Speaker 5 (15:06):
In most cases, some departments are different. But like in ours,
it's a red helmet for the officers.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
I happen to have a red helmet and a brag,
but a red helmet.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
And then the white helmets are the chiefs. So when
you when you look at a fire scene, you can
kind of tell.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
The hierarchy of who's who? Wow, who care?
Speaker 7 (15:24):
No?
Speaker 2 (15:24):
No, I like it, thanks Josh.
Speaker 9 (15:27):
As a white helmet guy supervised doesn't go into the fire.
Speaker 8 (15:30):
He sends everybody else in.
Speaker 5 (15:33):
Well, how deep do you want to get into this, Christy?
Be careful about the questions, he asked.
Speaker 9 (15:38):
And the yellow helmets, men, are there yellow helmets for
the chickens?
Speaker 5 (15:42):
Yeah, yes, there are actually out West Los Angeles and
stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
You'll see a lot of yellow helmets.
Speaker 5 (15:48):
I don't know what ranked those guys, those guys over
gals are But yes, you just see a lot of yellow.
Speaker 11 (15:52):
And those helmets say Carl's Junior. Whereas your helmets.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Wherever you can advertise, wherever you can advertise.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Has your wife ever asked you to wear any fire.
Speaker 9 (16:03):
Equipment in the in the aforementioned boudoir? You know all
tho such, You know, I like just the boots.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
We've been married thirty two years. She doesn't ask a
whole lot.
Speaker 7 (16:16):
I see.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Years.
Speaker 9 (16:19):
But you have to leave all the gear at the firehouse,
right You don't have like.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
I have two sets.
Speaker 5 (16:25):
I have one set that stays at the firehouse when
I'm on shift, and I also have a spare set
in my car because when I'm not on duty, if
we get a major incident like somebody's unresponsive or a
vehicle exucation or structure fire, I will go to those
things while I'm off duty if it's a major incident.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
So I have a spare set of gear in my
car with me. All right, okay, always ready?
Speaker 9 (16:49):
Yeah, okay, good to know. Do you wear ordinary underwear
or something more a little more exotic Because you'd arrive
on the scene, you got to switch the stufts in
your car. You got to change? Can you change in
your car?
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Well, they're big enough.
Speaker 5 (17:04):
It's big enough to I don't know why I'm charging
at the camera like I'm you know, you're in trouble.
But it's the pants and everything are big enough so
that you wear them, like.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
For your irregular pants and everything. You guys at the station, Yeah,
at the station. Yeah, you wouldn't want to wear just
your underwear under those things. It's very abrasive. You'd be
a disease.
Speaker 9 (17:25):
You do wear no Max underwear?
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Right, No, we have no Max items on.
Speaker 5 (17:31):
I'm not gonna wear no Max under you ever, you
ever put no Max against your skin.
Speaker 9 (17:35):
I'd rather have no Mix underwear than have a have
a toast toast. Better word, I don't want to have
I don't want to have a weenie roast. Well he
survived the fire.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
