But to any company in those areas you know, would do no? Okay, but you could go back and try it and do it again. What would you do if you go back right now? Where would you go? Try something new? Uh? I would still probably still my career in Brooklyn and more of the busier areas, and I would work my way into way uh at the sock. Oh you

Oh you can't keep blobbing him up like that he's painting red. That's awful. Blow out blue. While you talk, I'm gonnahead pull it off. I guess you have a picture. So you want to talk about the singing the drawn stuff seems to be big. Now, I don't you want to if you want to talk about that. I have my
own thoughts on Hank sounds like he's on speed. I don't talk about the trune, no, but his voice is fat, is faster than he's talking. Let's go on medication on what are you talking about him? Back there? Something I don't know. Let's talk about the drones. I don't know shit about drones. But yeah, all right, I mean I just saw the other the day where um, it was like a big thing. I used it. That's first real run with that parking garage to laughs. So
did you hear anything about it? I don't sit about it, Mickey mouse. So it sounds like you're stuck it down heeling. Oh my god, sounds like you're you're sucking the helium balloon. Not only does he sound like he's sucking the helium balloon, it sounds like he's like remember that guy that did the commercials years ago, Like that's sounds like fly. It looks like it looks like he's in a Bruce Lee movie, like Godzilla's coming. Oh
listen, you went to the bullpen. I'm not set up with any of my high he doesn't have his high techt stuff out tonight, bro, take what you get forms tonight. None of you can talk. Yeah, he sounds like you really yeah. Okay, okay, okay, So they drive through, Okay, okay, what's happening? Okay, okay, that's what happens. Okay, okay, okay. Oh my god, my face hurts already. Yeah about anything? Questions. I don't know who's got who's got questions? In the chess? Come on, you got to see your man

I'm looking through and see if I catch anything. In the meanwhile, gave Fox this is this is those unplanned firehouse kitchen tables. Oh my god, we're just going from the cuff here. What situation starts fires? Suck at you, dude, That's exactly right, Lance, Look at lance Rope.
That's exactly what Hank sounds like. He sounds like when Kramer had the free coffee for life on the show. That's exactly what are you talking about? I get for I don't know what do you? Kevin wants to Kevin Malow wants to know what thoughts on drums? I saw that one too, Okay, I just don't want question up, dare I didn't get the whole thing. What use the most mort talking? You wanted to put the bomb on? I tell you, Micah in the ant like Speedy Goosby, You're a
abble. We're all vodka my time, all the time, anytime you have the time. I don't care, Oh my god, I do. And then the best is he looks so calm and very so oly. Shit, that's funny, oh man, too mud. We should all sign off when he gets back to the place, good night, sign see the big one. Oh my god, that is too freaking funny. Man. This is a ship show. Who said that gave Fox? But a ship show? There he is. But I'll see if does make it a difference. Shout
app shot ap, Oh my god, red bull. Let's see, Hank, you can get a job to cleam at the end of the commerces. Okay, what's on saying? Was exactly who he sounded like. He sounded like Cramer when he had the free coffee, says as Hank using the motor roller radio we used on nine to eleven. I don't want to I don't want the coffee. You had the coffee like I only had six. I don't think it's work. I have tears rolling. It sounded any different.
Go out and come back in. Let's try to try to go out, but yeah, come back, so I don't win to come back, leave the studio and then come back. Word, who told you to put the bomb on? I didn't talk you to put the bomb on? You know what bomb can do? Oh shit, man, I wish this is when I wish all the sound effects were working. We have a good time just on sound what you know what it was. I didn't pick it up right away that he was doing that, and then I'm like, what the hell
is going on? Sounds like he's racing twenty fifth anniversary of what Thomas we're talking about nine eleven. I mean it's still a little ways. Yes, we're having a squads having the twenty fifth anniversary. We have a party is in I'm signed up? You sign up? I signed up? Come on, let's go wait on you. Oh here comes Let's see if he's reading. Let's let's see us facial. Let's see he's shaking his head. How about now, hankey, No, I'm not getting you on this, but
now hear good? All right? All right? Well do you hear us? Okay? Yeah, well I can hear. I hear the speaker on a computer. So take one of year out. My son's in the chat. Be careful, nickquc piece is stalking you. You still hear me? Okay? Or no? Yeah? Yeah? Man? All right, all right, Sammy Peterson, you know somebody wanted to know about the Deutsche Bank and at the Deutsche Bank fire. The where is it? Let me see? Uh we see, I go back because this is shit's going quick.
Oh hey, he at the Deutsche Bank fire. You aren't at the Deutsche Bank fire, will you? No, it's not the bank fire? No, no, no, no. She wants to know this A good question right here, Like she's like these other guys, don't you hater? It's all natural? What can I tell you? You know? Let's see, Yeah, it's just a touch. Uh C graves. We gotta U C graves, all right, don't you talking about those? You just have max max long time. Yeah, and mac pulpis you had C grave arials until
they did experiment. Uh uh back oh in the eighties they gave one thirty two and thirty truck. Uh they were trying to remember the uh it I forget the chat kind of stove a wagon. Um. It was an LTI arial mm hmm. And and apparently it was based on the amount of occupied aerial work that the companies were getting. I was in one thirty two at that point and thirty was harmle uh so, um, yeah, we had it. It was. It was. It's a decent break. It took
a little longer to set up than the sea raves. But the LTI aerial itself was all the hydraulic pistons. It wasn't most cables. So and at that time in the eighties it was a pretty strong aerial. Uh. But the job I don't for whatever reason, I know, cost or whatever, that they didn't go go for it and they stayed with the sea grapes. LTI is a strong louder, says Lens Johnson. I mean I would imagine now that you know we're talking how many years later that you know, the
the CEA grave arials are probably terrible to anything else. Uh, look at Captain Graham coming in with a good one. Rout was good gadtation including running over paddle. Yeah there was us. There was another question there that was a pretty good question. Yeah, I was going, let me see this one right here, favorite places being as sorry to detail was no something about
it was Beacher, James Beacher had a had a question. I think it's something about what what what is the most assignments that stock companies come Yeah, something something like that. Uh no, that that was the question that I saw this one here. Yeah, your favorite news technology and fire start well, first off, James, that you never realize I'm a dinosauric and had a fire service for a long time. But keeping keeping up, trying to keep up with stuff that's going on. Uh, you know. I like
the fact that there's a lot more incorporated in the SBA is. I believe now they have the heads up play for huh. I think it's something like a thermalim camera something built in there and oh I don't even know what do they you know, and they say that again because it was a little broken. I know some of the seba is they have, but I think they have heads up displays in them. They're they're more uh you know, between think they have your heir in there now you're right right at and and like
the passon bomb is now built into it. It's not you know, something that gets clipped Auntie of belt on the side. You know, I think that's it's gonna keep keep the guys where they're um safe while they're operating, you know, I mean the case is while they're operating. I know it's so safe he minded. Um. Sometimes I think again this is the old
school talking. I think we're too safety mind and that um, you know, we don't want to get anybody killed, but we also raised our hand to protect life in and in order to do that, it's as his job, so you know, um, you know, and and and to do that job properly, sometimes it means you gotta make moves that aren't exactly the safest. But that's what we're training to do, right. But if there's equipment that they can give us to make that job safer for us to do
with taking that move, then I'm more for it. So again the smaller thermal imaging cameras, the BET and the masks um you know, I mean, the book to me is still out like on the robot dog, you know, I know, you know, there's some people that if the high tech tech technology. You know, that's why I was talking about the drones, because you know, I was looking at that the whole article and it was like it seemed like the drones and now they're you know, the best
thing outs in schocolate milk, like that, they saved the day. And I think there is a place in the fire service for the drones. I mean, especially you know, uh, aerial views getting in the rear the building and stuff. But to me, with the collapse, it's like that with his potentially people trapped to hold the troops back while you wait for the drone unit to get there and send the drone in and possibly locate somebody. To me, that that's time that's wasted. That couldn't mean life with death.
And this is the speaking so I'm sure it's gonna be you know, God, yeah, it's not the other thing. Whatever, that's your opinion. This is my opinion. So there's a place for that. But you still need to get guys at a train into those collapses, into those voids, and it's gonna be and the entrance is going to be based on your knowledge. You're not just gonna go in half, as you know, and if you have to show things up as you go, that's what you're gonna
do. But I can't see, you know, pulling on the range and everybody's standing outside the building wall while the drone's trying to buzz around. Let's see if they can find somebody again. When you when you were getting out, like the last time I spoke to you, they were just coming out with that thing called the Halligan, right, remember that when you were just getting I knew he was setting that. I actually I helped you Halligan, you guess yuee help with uweie yeah. And I also worked with it with
President. There's a distributor, you know, yeah, mister man, the bigness sella ight, all the things that you only heard about that you never used, Yes, they were all in the fire service and we got it. Looks like can you read that now? He was reading? He was as I tried to pull up before and I think we went to so you tried to put my question earlier, I should word it better. At what far is the situations with SOCCK units put to work the most on or is
it just totally situational? Well, they go on, they go on certain boxes, they go onto on fires, right, every right, right, they're gonna respontifiers in their area or yeah, borrow again that's the primer everything, but you know everything else, um would be uh, a confined space, high angle rule rescues, those are probably the other you know the other auto education, a lot an education you have you have your trucks and stuff
responding to order education. But right, they'll they'll respond you know that stuff also, uh, and obviously jobs if all right for the rescuer, and of course unfortunately has Matt certain has Matt runs right, And you know a lot of stuff I see, you know, even on the final it seemed like a lot of us you know, people under understuff where you know your pin jobs or under the under the train. So you know, stock companies usually tend to get pretty involved in that stuff. Yeah, well, we
would go on the tracks before we had report of power off. Well, other companies wouldn't go on the tracks until the report of the power came on, right, you know, yeah, you shoe slippers. You would try to h you know, the energized the cars paddles, right that you think the paddles with the shoe slipers, you know you put them in and yeah,
roofie. That wasn't uh like uh. That was just like an unsaid thing, right, like an unspoken word that the soccer would go on because a lot of times we would get a lot of grief from other companies waiting for the for the power to go off. We would jump on the tracks with the with the powers to lot. I mean we had that was a sort of an unwritten thing, right Yeah, I mean for the most part, but we knew, I guess you know, you know what it was.
Once they started the subway simulator, it was a little bit better for people. You know, listen when you went underd and things were humming. You know, you know how many times did you ever see somebody put one of those slippers on? Heck, did you ever see anybody put one of those slippers on? Yah? Yeah? A lot of wood the what the wood things? I've used the wood paddles once again, I was in in one from the eighty six to ninety eight, and uh, we did use
them. You know, I'm not gonna say any time, but we did. It was them. I've done it. You know. The biggest thing you gotta remember with that is the cause are in tandem. You know, you do look at the numbers on the cause because they cant all different numbers, but once it tandem is always four number is but the last two number is gonna be like right right four seven and two and four four seven three.
So they were in tandem. So if you if you put the shoot, you know, the slip because the chocks on one car and the other one you didn't do it. They were still energized. Yeah, you had to make sure that you d energize both, you know, both sets and tandem or unless you could still get zapped and the third rail was always still live, so that you always had to be aware of him. At least you were d energizing the cars at that point. I put no shoe slippers
here. I do have a query seving to be in my text message here because they tried to ask it earlier. It's a question, a question in reference to c graves, c Grave tillers, and rearmounts. Why I guess he's asking regardless your preference, sorry, your preference a rear amount or tiller. I like that, I answered, I answered that question in the chat. I think that one of the guys they said, okay, may just
go back to it. Sorry, just far And I said, because the ring of you know, I mean, obviously I spend half my career riding in the back. We're a rescue rig. But as far as the rigs that I like, I was a chuck shill for first. Um. I like to see grave, real amounts and to see grave till they were both to me, they did the I just like the operation of aerials as opposed to bucket you know, tawelads and stuff. They're working again, Tweltz is a great cool, great water delivery. It's you can work, It's a
work working platform. Um. I just was brought up in in the aerial companies and uh, you know, great access to the roof, great act access the upper floors, great way to get people down, you know, especially if you have a few people. What about you if you worked in the towel a lot of atoms one all three was a real amount? Would you what did you prefer? I mean the towel lout is slow like than the real amount is very fast. You know, you can get into position.
If you had to take a lot of people down the towel out it was good because you could throw everybody in the bucket. But for the most part the area was fast, you know what I mean, really fast. The punt seventeen bucket took forever. Yeah, there were limited in the buckets stuff, so I mean you can you could take it generally. You had two had two guys in the bucket right operate. And then because I know, I added job next to one of five quarters, it went to a
third long. We were second two and there were there were kids traveled in the fourth floor of the tenement. And I had made it up there, and that's from rescue two. I made it up there, and he had started putting kids in the bucket. He got there before I did, and uh, I told him, I'm going back to the rear to just make another quick search. I guess something communicate, she's got fouled up. I went to the rear, didn't find anybody else. When I came back to
the window and they were all gone. And and now I went back to the door in the hallway, and the fire had taken up over the hallways, and now my only way out was that front window. And I was about to throw the helmet because I was, you know, the rooms getting ride of light. Luckily, Mike washed was operating one thro five's bucket and h and through the smoke because I took the hemet. You know those Dodo
lights used to have on this there's Garretty lights. I heat, I was moving helmet, and smoke just cleared like the viol interventions for a second, and the lights caught his attention and he stopped the bucket. He came back up with him and and the other guy from one THO five, the guy from Rescue two and the drink kids. There was no room for me in that buckets, but didn't matter. I just I jumped on the outside rail and and you know, rode that thing down and then gave him a big
hugging. I guess when we hit the ground. And every time I'd see him map and after years, so you know, you big guy, it was just like, yeah, I give a kiss on a cheek, you know, for give them my cookies there. But yes, and it was always limited. It was an area you just keep bringing them down, you know, right. But but again, like I said, it's you know a top. I was, there are operations where it's the best tool to
deliver water, you know. I mean why it's up high or even if you're in a taxpayer where you get that thing back kind decide walking you shooting? You know what you have the stag and I was looking to the ceilings. It's a great it's a great tool. Cool, my, just everybody has a preference. I liked the areels and until he be a teller, I mean, especially if you get till the man you know, it was like and then a little rascals. It's if you brought up you know,
frame up. I could have that mean yeah, uh, here we go. I have another question for you, mister Paul Trippy. You know I did know the answer to that. I don't. I don't remember this. I don't recall. Now somebody had told me why I don't. I don't know the reason why. I know, I know we were all shocked when they stopped. Listen, why does anybody stopped making something because it's probably not
profitable for them? Probabe, it was moving pots with with the uh they you know they had a team up with who who was making the pumps? Was it Hal Waters or Hail? Yeah, Waters and Hail that I remember the two that I know of, so we know it. Maybe maybe it was they might have been trouble with the partnership, yeah, or maybe maybe the pumps were breaking down. Tom and Mac had a cover of warranties. But I mean it always comes down. If they were making money and happy
with it, it would still be making it. So I would think they were fast raised though. Man, those pumps were fast. Yeah, I mean Max will definitely work trucks man as opposed to so that when they bought the American the France is in and the job, they were dogs. Those things were like they could get at it their own life. These American the Frances pumps. Everybody hated them. I know we had gotten two eighty. Of course we had gotten one of them, and nobody liked it. Again
they maybe what was the rescue of two of those? Didn't they an American old Friends or was that has Matt? Somebody was the Matt the Mat got one? I think American Old France. Yeah, yeah, so that's what somebody had asked you. You got chat's a little slowed question. No, I didn't. Yeah, you just we talked a little bit like the No. Yeah, that's how many people did Mikey Boots. Mikey Boots I think was for ce Grave. Missus Procuccini husband has the answer to Mac what's that
think you got? It's coming? Oh they got, we got sold to Renault and they got rid of the fire division. Look missus on his birthday and Missus pro Coccini's health an happy birthday, brother, reason you can remember that it's sixty five. Yeah, you dick what ticket you dickhead? Yes, dickhead? What both? Has two had anything else? Yeah? Just seeing Uh we're the Max as far as Hanks, Tommy Stretch Rescue two and has Matt had the American La France? Yeah, look at that man.
Guys coming in shit hot bro time. But again you're talking about um, you know, the chassis and and cab. But there's no pumps or anything involved with beds. But I don't I don't know how they operated that. I don't like I said the puppets were dog because they were under power. So maybe you know, if the complaint got back to American France, Uh, you know, or the job, the job at it inspecting it with too small of a diesel. It's different sized diesel, so maybe they end
up you know, they don't want you going too fast. But you know, maybe the first rescue bro but that we had was really going to has matt rate. You know, they get loaded on. Maybe they had bigger engines in them. I don't know. I don't know. The rescue pump of the week got from seagre It was a four cylinder that think was some piece of shit man that was slow as ship. Yeah right, couldn't get out of its way. That thing bro terrible. This is from this technology
question is probably appropriate for tonight. Many frequencies? How many radio frequencies does he have to WI use for regular calls and for fire ground? I don't know if you guys know that or not. I'm not one hundred percent sure. Doesn't sixteen sixteen channels on the on the handy talking well, I mean, doesn't doesn't it? Each borrow each borrow has it? Accept doesn't and Staten Island share it with citywide or something. I don't know, but then
you haven't citywide share correct all Manhattan city? You know? Um, But there was a whole bun Remember, there was a whole bunch of uh yeah, I mean the Man channel and some other ship. There was a bunch of channels. Gomez used to tell me all the time. He knew all of them. Mikey g we gotta get him us, you know's not companies used to get one on super radio or it had you know, on that you you could cut the frequence, see and be able to get the dispatch
or citywide or something. All right, the general population. Handy took he's he didn't have all those channels, you can. You know, you had a couple a couple challenge where you could switch to a you know, if they sit puts the channel two for command, you know, something like that. I think they all do now though we had the super radio at first, but I think they all had it now again that would make sense to
speak because you know, I don't remember anything again the technology. You know, we in the past, we had horrible UM which I had talked about UM about the ninety three World Trade sent boment. We found out just how bad the radios are, and they started you know, uh looking into uh you know, better radios. You know, I think about the old um like you don't have to do this subway relays anymore, right, remember how it used to they you you had it was an actual a you see it
and like it then happen. But we had a subway job. Hoofman had to stay at the at the sidewalk level, and then the ov would go to the bottom of the stairs the subway you know, subway stairs, and then the officer would you know, the cano the forcible electry might be like you know, further down at the end of the platform, and the officer in a canne and we'd say head out on the tracks because you have relay, you know, message the message, so the radio had to be within
a certain amount of area to pick it up, you know. So that's how bad they were, you know. Now I'm sure it's a lot better than and it's back in it. They were down Joe. Before we head out of here, we had to play on a what do you call it? Armor? You want do you want to do that right now? Yes? Please? Yes, sir, yes, sir, without further ado, without further ado, we'd go to armor tough. Standby, here we go, Armor tough. Interlocking floor tiles are the best choice to replace new or

Harrisburg. We will be there. It's a fifty first annual fire XBOM Friday, Saturday, May nineteenth and twenty of ten to five. Check us out. In boot four three six. I saw two questions we'll answer really quick before we go downs. One was I think Mikey Boots had one about most memorable fire something that left the I mean, I think I know what you're talking about. You talk about the craziest story about things burned in the firehouse. It came after that, have to be a structure five editing. It
always stuck out for you, obviously not nine eleven. Besides that one, is there anyone that you'll never forget a fire? I think you know what hangs is, but ahead, oh, I think it is just the one right here, just what you're talking about, Mikey Boots. Okay, do you want me to read it to you? Yeah? No, Obviously nine elevens is in everybody's compartmentalized rain. Um. Probably the next one in my head's gotta be a street fire. Yep, I knew it, you know
that one. And then in my first pay of fire today head in Brooklyn, which was a mother and five kids like Sift and Sacket that also this compartmentalized up here. Yeah, I think for me it would be the plane crash in the Rockaways, you know what old you know kids and all the kids clothes all over the place and the kids bodies all over the place. That was a mess. Man. Was right after night of Levens. We
were all ship you know, shipping. I'll sells anyway. Yeah, when you hear that coming to me, come on, yeah, like holy shit, you gotta be killed me man. Another one, what about you? It's hard to say because there were so many of them. I know, there's so many of those. Is that you just what about you? Rough know? I was just thinking stick. I mean, I mean, thank god, I was never out of fire where. I mean, we've had, you know, had a lot of mad days and stuff like that,
but I never had where somebody was there. But I've had a lot of people, and I had the whole family, five kids and the parents at that one job. You know, those types of jobs, probably I would say, hmm. And one more question sixty five is demandatory where they aide you out, superannuate You had a Bill Feehan get pasted it. I thought, I they brought him back as a commissioner, right, yeah, he was retired. Yeah, I think he was an assistant commission for something.
Yeah. He liked the title of chief, you know, because he still was you know, I felt like he was probably the department, right, Yeah, I believe if he had toped as an assistant commissioner, right, Christian, they did the chief Steve, they super annuated him at sixty five years of age. It's done. But we just saw Morris right that guy go back tomorrow. We saw him in if he could forcing doors and forcing door? How old did he say? It was? It's almost eighteous,
right, yeah, you know I did. You admit it? Um, if you talk. You know, we had the question about the jobs that like you never forget, and it's it's funny, but you know, we were all lucky to be on f D N Y and and you know I was looking for the years that I was on and saw the amount of fire duty that I did, and you know, it is funny because, um, you don't realize how much you forget. And people were like, how
can you forget something like that? But um, until until John Norman wrote his book They're working with Giants and and I I read that the chapter way he's talking about where I was his show for that night and rest one and we had a fifth along and the Rockef fell at center, you know the ad and then you see you got a fifth along going there and uh, Gerry's talking up blowing the tanks and everything. I had totally forgot about the job. I mean, there wasn't he wasn't even him my memory bank.
And then I'm reading it. You know, actually I was talking to him Captain Flowery's funeral, and I was like, oh shit, yeah that's right. Yeah, I was at that fifth long. It was just all that, like you know the amount of stuff that you forget when you've done so many of these these different jobs. It's uh, I guess it's old age and just you know, there was so many you do forget some of them. So amen. Well, guys, like we said, we apologize for
the technical difficulties. Hopefully we can get Captain Bob stopped on for Thursday night. Otherwise we'll we'll get something else cooking. Thanks for stories. Yeah, we'll get him.
