    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’!
  • Ckress409
    Great stories and even better guest!
    Love all the stories told by the awesome guest! True heroes!

    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 . Chief Cockrum- Benton Il. Fire

    The best firefighting podcast out there. The knowledge that gets passed down to the younger generation from the senior men if priceless

  • Emann627
    A real firefighter podcast by true firefighters.
    Not only the best podcast for firefighters but one of the best podcasts period. They truly embrace the spirit of the fire service by sharing the experience and stories of true legends in the fire service. A great podcast by two guys that truly care about the fire service and it’s members. They have content for the nostalgia seeking retired members and information hungry newest members. Download, listen and enjoy.

    If you want some great insight into the world of the firefighter and have a few laughs along with your education, you need to listen

    Review
    So I have started listening about a month ago and I can’t wait for each new episode. Thank you for sharing your experiences and bringing in the legions.
  • firebob62000
    Best podcast out there
    Retired FD for 8 years and this band of misfits brings me back to the firehouse kitchen. It’s scary how many of the same phrases we used back in the day. Keep up the good work boys!
  • fabbat1713
    Nigro
    I can’t believe you guys allowed him on your show. He is a piece of garbage and cut my career short. He is a communist and hates America. I don’t care how many families of fallen Firemen he visited. He did that because of shame. He was Diblasio’s tool and he hurt our job worse than any previous commissioner. He cut my career short with his vaccine mandate. He destroyed my job and hates white firemen. He is evil. He is purely evil. He has a lot of enemies.
  • ConciergeMike
    Great content, but who edits this?
    Repeated sections, horrible editing. Feel like I’m hallucinating when I listen because I’d swear I heard that part before...yes, yes I did.
  • DashboardDrummr
    Great podcast
    I love the podcast, I just wish they had more current members of the FDNY come on as guests instead of just retired members so we get a look into todays state of the department. Would be really interesting.
  • Tim Quigs
    The absolute best podcast
    The best podcast to listen to going to work, I have a 35 min commute to work. I truly do enjoy listening it. All the old school tips of the days and just listening to the stories. Give it 5 stars!!!!!!
  • 80NICKV
    Listen to this if you’re on da job!
    Great source of information for you buffs out there and history of the FDNY
  • T Liedl
    Fantastic
    The brothers are spot on with keeping the culture alive in the fire service. Oi, Such a great listen!
  • Cody brown515
    The very best!
    By far my favorite podcast on the internet. When you listen to the brothers talk and interview guests you feel like your right there with them at the kitchen table. I listen to the show on my hour and half commute to the fire house and sometimes wish the commute was longer so I can keep listening haha. Great show, great producing, great fireman!

  • Canman345773
    Best podcast ever
    I was a small town dispatcher for a 10 years, one of the reasons I resigned was because the brotherhood just wasn’t there anymore. You guys make me feel like I’m back in the firehouse in the 90’s when things were good. Thank you for doing this, I’m a fan for life!
  • BigMedic36
    Gotta listen
    I’ve been listening since the very first podcast. The stories are great. I find myself telling the stories I’ve heard to my friends. If your a firefighter or just like firefighting, or like breaking stones; you won’t be disappointed. If I could give it 6 stars I would!

    I don’t miss an episode. Kevin, Lou and Pete have created a podcast that is fun, educational and provides historical background of the FDNY and incidents that have occurred in NY. Awesome podcast.

  • mmitch230
    Phenomenal
    It’s honestly the only fire podcast worth listening to. It really shows you the insight of what it’s like being on the job. Its both funny and informative without being douchey. If you want to see how the fire service and brotherhood is supposed to be this is where to come.
  • Tom Pisano
    Gettin Salty podcast

  • Dtrizzle63829394817
    Nothing like it
    There is nothing out there that compares to the true camaraderie of the firehouse like this podcast. Between the hosts,guests and fans this experience is second to none. Keep up the great work, see you at the big one and stay low and go!

    Best podcast around
    Never could get into podcasts, but these guys bring the true firehouse kitchen table to everyone. Humor and knowledge with drinking always makes for a good time.
  • Vincenzo6211
    Allegedly
    If you don’t know what this podcast is about...go ask your old lady! It’s like being back at the kitchen table throwing bombs at each other.
  • SGT Soenc
    First due at your old lady’s box

    Great Show
    Wonderful show; but the ads replaying constantly break the flow of the show
  • DV_Tanker
    Great group of guys
    Like they say they bring the fire house table to you. All joking aside you get a lot of history from different departments throughout the United states mostly FDNY and Chicago as of yet but Lou and Kevin and probie Pete bring it twice a week, why cuz dats what menz do
  • Tim Depoe
    Feel like your at the station table.
    Listening to this make me feel like I am at my own station listening to the old guys telling war stories.
  • Fire goalie
    Kitchen table
    These guys do a great job of bringing the firehouse kitchen table to the screen. The poking fun is light-hearted and witty. The stories are hilarious and educational at the same time. And the guests are top shelf. So glad they put this together!
  • chrisbonnerjr
    Excellent Podcast
    This is an excellent podcast, just please stop banging on the tables. I can’t get the Chief Steve song out of my head...
  • holliSO
    Great stuff!
    These guys are awesome and funny. It’s also been a great learning experience listening to them interview great Firemen who handled some of the historic fires. It’s like being around the kitchen table at the station. Keep it up!
