Well, Galgany's clearly Western Maryland, right?
00:01:29

You got Garrett Allegheny, Washington.
00:01:32
yo
So those are all clearly West.
00:01:34
Chris
Yeah.
00:01:35
yo
This question becomes, does Frederick count?
00:01:38
Chris
Yeah, I, as part of it, maybe.
00:01:38
yo
Start to be west?
00:01:41
yo
I mean, it's a pretty empty county outside of, like, Frederick itself.
00:01:46
Chris
Frederick.
00:01:49
yo
Yeah, i was
00:01:49
Chris
Yep. Plenty of Fred next.
00:01:52
yo
was... I didn't know that was a thing.
00:01:54
Chris
Yeah.
00:01:54
yo
Fred and I could learn that this week. The department... you know just I was sitting around talking to the guys from the department, and he was like, yeah, you know,
00:02:04
Chris
Yeah.
00:02:06
yo
We run like 30 to 35,000 calls a year. I'm like, in like the city? He's like, no, the whole county.
00:02:12
Chris
Yeah.
00:02:13
yo
And I'm like, how many people do you have working here? ah Like 600? No, it's 600 plus.
00:02:17
Chris
585. oh my god, it's up to six. Jeez.
00:02:22
yo
Yeah. And I'm like, we run half the calls you do with a sixth of the personnel.
00:02:29
Chris
Yeah.
00:02:31
yo
And look look, I mean, they've got to cover.
00:02:33
Chris
i mean, geography changes a little bit, but.
00:02:34
yo
Right. They've got to cover the county and there's a lot of places they have to put pieces, but shoo So i was like, man.
00:02:42
Chris
yeah but they also have a staffing captain
00:02:45
yo
They have a staffing captain. That is a pretty, i don't know if it's a sweet gig. it would I was telling i just tell my wife on the way home, was like, it'd be a great gig if you were like, I just want to ride out my pension.
00:02:57
Chris
yeah
00:02:57
yo
You know,
Adventures in Navigation and Plumbing Mishaps
00:02:58
yo
I'll do the, hey, chief of the Salisbury Fire Department, if you want to make me the staffing lieutenant and let me go in the drop for seven years, I'll do that.
00:03:09
Chris
all right i'll bring that up monday
00:03:10
yo
right I'll work from home, I'll take care of all your staffing problems, and I'll just keep collecting my pension.
00:03:16
Chris
yeah Yeah.
00:03:19
yo
But it is crazy the amount of admin staff they have.
00:03:25
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. They are definitely. I don't know. It's not really top heavy. It's non-operational heavy.
00:03:33
yo
Yeah, yeah. Because ah every time like somebody would come in, they'd be like, oh, I'm so-and-so. I work in this office. I'm like, well, who actually works in at a station?
00:03:44
yo
Nobody in here is working in a station. The one guy is a captain. He just got promoted to... and don't know if he just got promoted captain, but he just like moved to the safety office. He's like, wow, I was in the fire marshal's office. I was in prevention. I was in buh blah, blah, blah. I'm like, well, when were you a firefighter?
00:03:57
yo
Like, what?
00:03:58
Chris
back in 2005. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
00:04:00
yo
Right. It's crazy... it's a crazy It's a crazy world out there, I guess.
00:04:07
Chris
yeah
00:04:08
yo
And i you know I get it. They got stuff to do. But they have day work. They have a state ah a safety chief and two safety captains.
00:04:18
yo
And then they have a night shift, like a captain per the night shift for so for safety.
00:04:22
Chris
yeah
00:04:23
yo
I'm like, whew.
00:04:24
Chris
yeah
00:04:25
yo
That's a lot.
00:04:27
Chris
yeah It's safe.
00:04:30
yo
It's safe. It's safe.
00:04:32
Chris
Yeah.
00:04:32
yo
Yeah, like we could, like our department could definitely benefit from some of those upstaff positions. But then i I have the fear that those upstaff positions, just they they just blossom and grow into more and more people.
00:04:38
Chris
Mm-hmm.
00:04:44
Chris
Yeah.
00:04:44
yo
you know Instead of like, ah wait, operations guys, we got to take care of that.
00:04:48
Chris
Yeah. Yeah, I mean, I'd like to see the shifts even out and then get to the point where you've got four on an engine and five on a truck.
00:04:56
yo
Right, that would be nice. Yeah, yeah.
00:04:59
Chris
And a supervisor.
00:04:59
yo
but and it yeah yeah And they were on the opposite scale that the other the guy i was partnering up with all week was from Cumberland. And he was like, yeah, we like we run three on an engine and two on a truck.
00:05:12
yo
I'm like, oof.
00:05:13
Chris
Yep. Yeah.
00:05:15
yo
Oof.
00:05:15
Chris
Yeah.
00:05:18
yo
Oof. And how many calls do you guys run?
00:05:18
Chris
yeah we Yeah, we like to do the John Wayne of firefighting.
00:05:23
yo
I mean, we talked about that a lot, him and I. He was like, Yeah, if we get a fire, like, the ambulance comes and upstaffs the piece. I'm like, you can't count on that.
00:05:35
Chris
Mm-hmm.
00:05:35
yo
yeah
00:05:36
Chris
I remember we used to do that.
00:05:38
yo
we We did it for many years.
00:05:40
Chris
Yeah.
00:05:41
yo
Many years.
00:05:42
Chris
Mm-hmm.
00:05:43
yo
We did a lot of things for many years that I'm not sure we could have done.
00:05:45
Chris
Well, yeah, yeah, it doesn't make it right, but...
00:05:51
yo
It's so hard. And he was like, yeah, and the mayor and the city are like
Preserving Historical Firehouses and Infrastructure Challenges
00:05:55
yo
super on our board with us. I'm like yeah, of course they are, because you guys are like a steal for them.
00:05:58
Chris
yeah
00:06:01
yo
you're you're You're doing what Salisbury has always done. We make do.
00:06:04
Chris
Yeah. Yep.
00:06:05
yo
you know
00:06:06
Chris
Yeah.
00:06:07
yo
and sir
00:06:08
Chris
Hmm.
00:06:09
yo
It's a problem in the fire service.
00:06:11
Chris
It is. it is. so it's funny you talk about driving. I thought of you the other day driving.
00:06:17
yo
Oh boy.
00:06:18
Chris
Well, ne so I had a appointment up in Bel Air, which I don't know for some reason.
00:06:24
yo
huh, yeah.
00:06:26
Chris
I, in my mind, Bel Air was in PG County.
00:06:30
yo
No, my ladder's almost my house.
00:06:31
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. So, yeah, type it into the map and it has me going across the Bay Bridge and up. i was like, okay. Get on the appointment, go to leave.
00:06:43
Chris
And it was like, it's quicker to go you know up into Delaware and down. was like, oh, that makes sense. I totally get it.
00:06:52
Chris
It took me through Georgetown.
00:06:56
yo
Yeah, I don't know why, but Google thinks that that's faster.
00:06:57
Chris
I was like, what the hell?
00:07:02
yo
It's definitely not.
00:07:03
Chris
Yeah, because I was like i was cruising down Route 1. I was like, wait second, shouldn't I get off on 13? No, the map tells me not to, so I'm just going along. And I'm like...
00:07:09
yo
Yeah, somebody must have, some captain from Salisbury Fire Bar must have paid Google some money.
00:07:16
Chris
Yeah, I was just like, what the hell? I guess all roads do lead through Georgetown.
00:07:21
yo
Yeah. it's a
00:07:23
Chris
ah
00:07:24
yo
It's a... I don't know where that comes from, but it's...
00:07:26
Chris
Yeah.
00:07:27
yo
two
00:07:28
Chris
And there's nowhere to eat.
00:07:30
yo
No. well I mean, once you pass Newark, yeah, there's nothing. there Yeah.
00:07:33
Chris
yeah yeah that was nothing
00:07:35
yo
yeah yeah You got Newark, and then if you want to brave Dover...
00:07:42
Chris
yeah know yep yeah yeah it's like going through the eastern shore of virginia there's nothing yeah no
00:07:43
yo
But you have to get off, like you know you can't... yeah it Yeah, it is a problem. I have that problem all the time, like, I'm hungry, but there's not going any food for the next 60 miles. Unless I'd like to... Yeah, unless I'd like to go to a Rofo.
00:08:00
yo
Yeah, yeah. It was... It's nuts. You're...
00:08:08
Chris
yeah it's always nice to drive almost three hours for 15 minute appointment if that doctor had said oh we could have done this over zoom i would have punched him but yeah
00:08:17
yo
Right. Yeah. Yeah. That is the problem with Maryland. Your state's too big.
00:08:26
Chris
yeah yeah
00:08:27
yo
Well, it is because like what happens is because of Maryland-ness, the Eastern shore, like, oh, well, the specialists are on the, on the, there's no specialists the Eastern shore. Well, you could have gone to
Maryland's Geography and Access Issues
00:08:42
yo
Christiana faster.
00:08:44
Chris
Right.
00:08:44
yo
Right? But because of the way Maryland works, it's like, no, no, no, you have to go into Baltimore.
00:08:45
Chris
Oh, yeah. Yeah.
00:08:48
yo
It's like, well, Baltimore's not convenient for anyone.
00:08:51
Chris
Yeah.
00:08:54
Chris
um Even the people that live in Baltimore, it's not convenient for them.
00:08:54
yo
You know, I think of the...
00:08:57
yo
But think of like a poor sucker who works, let's say you get hurt on a job in Garrett County as a firefighter, and they're like, you need to go to Baltimore for your follow-ups.
00:09:04
Chris
Yeah.
00:09:09
yo
It's like a four-hour drive.
00:09:10
Chris
Yeah. yeah yeah
00:09:13
yo
and and it's not like you're taking the train it's it's rough we we screwed up we should have kept all states the size of Delaware PA is the same way PA is ridiculously big is it yeah yeah
00:09:23
Chris
Yeah. Well, oh yeah, yeah. I mean, that's it like California. Going from the southern point of California to the north, that's ridiculous.
00:09:36
yo
it's bigger than England right it's like this is crazy
00:09:38
Chris
Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Well, I mean, hopefully when this hurricane comes through next week, we will now have the Delmarva Island and we could just make it a state.
00:09:48
yo
Wait, we supposed to get a hurricane next week? We're not supposed to get a hurricane next week.
00:09:52
Chris
Yeah, yeah, we are.
00:09:54
yo
No.
00:09:55
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. Because right now there's two of them. They're like side by side. And the one is supposed to go like north and to the east, like more out to Atlantic.
00:10:05
Chris
But the one track of the one that's building right now, it has it going up the Chesapeake Bay, crossing the peninsula at like Dover and then wrapping back around into Worcester County.
00:10:21
yo
Cancel our trip. Yeah,
00:10:26
Chris
Yeah.
00:10:27
yo
we're supposed to go to the beach this week for, you know, our anniversary, which is why we're recording today because I'm supposed to be gone all week.
00:10:29
Chris
Ooh. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. oh I mean, it might, it's a weather prediction.
00:10:40
yo
Yeah, but how hypocritical or am I if I'm like, I tell people all the time to follow the weather warnings and to not go into it I already got this book plan. Let's go.
00:10:51
Chris
yeah
00:10:52
yo
You know, that feels a little hypocritical.
High School Memories: Dances and Football
00:10:56

00:11:00
Chris

No, it's been like spotty rain mostly, nothing like heavy. But apparently we're getting.
00:11:22

00:11:26
yo
Oh, that sucks.
00:11:27
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.

00:11:38
yo
Oh. Oh, really?
00:11:41
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. I was amazed.
00:11:44

yo
Saran wrap. It's that's Italian. Saran wrap.
00:12:09
Chris
about yeah yeah this guy's talking well my wife was here for the inspection or whatever and Luckily, the leak is in my garage, so it's not in a dwelling spot. But he left this yeah know booklet of all the things. And one thing, it's like, oh, yeah, that's a we use the Tiger Paul underlayment. I'm like, what the hell is this? I'm looking. I'm like, OK. And it's like, or you could upgrade to, i don't know, Dragonfire. I'm like, ooh.
00:12:37
Chris
I'm reading it. It's like, oh, yeah, it gives the workers a better footing while they're working on the roof. I was like, eh.
00:12:42
yo
ah
00:12:43
Chris
I am not shelling out an extra thousand dollars so they can have an easier job.
00:12:47
yo
Yeah, that's not my it's my problem. That sounds like a you problem there, Hot Rod.
00:12:50
Chris
Exactly. Yeah.
00:12:51
yo
Yeah, you guys take care that.
00:12:51
Chris
So.
00:12:54
Chris

Chris
Yeah. And then my darling wife, what color shingles should we get? Woman, I don't know. don't do colors.
00:13:11

yo
I love that lieutenant buddy.
00:15:33
Chris
But yeah. Yeah.

00:15:36
Chris
Yeah.
00:15:38
yo
Yeah.
00:15:39
Chris
Uh-oh. Yeah. Yeah.
00:15:43
yo
ah So this is an aside that only really applies to the Smallsbury Fire Department.
00:15:45
Chris
Yeah.
00:15:47
yo
No, no, no. So downtown Frederick, I've never been to downtown Frederick, or at least that I remember.
00:15:54
Chris
yeah
00:15:54
yo
So yesterday, my brother came down, we walked around downtown Frederick. was like, oh my God, that's a cool little town. It's all super historic.
00:16:01
Chris
yeah
00:16:01
yo
And then I saw their firehouses. I'm like, oh, those are like old school firehouses from like the 20s and 30s. They're also old buildings. And I went in this morning and i said,
00:16:12
yo
Don't ever allow them to tear down your buildings. Keep those firehouses until they absolutely fall down because it will gut your fire department as soon as you lose that that building.
00:16:20
Chris
Yeah.
00:16:23
Chris
Yeah. yeah
00:16:24
yo
And they're like they're like, what? I'm like, let me tell you. Let me tell you about story about Salisbury Station 16 and how it changed forever how our department operates.
00:16:32
Chris
Yeah. yeah yeah
00:16:37
yo
It was like they had... Frederick has like this river walk that goes through it. its It's a creek. It's not a river. let's be
00:16:45
Chris
The creek walk.
00:16:46
yo
It's a creek walk at the best. and yeah They had like little vents and like bands and they had like an open container area and the firehouse.
00:16:52
Chris
Yeah.
00:16:55
yo
It was a block away. The door was open. guy was sitting outside. I'm like, yeah.
00:16:59
Chris
That used to be so nice.
00:16:59
yo
that's but That's what it should be.
00:17:02
Chris
Yeah.
00:17:02
yo
I saw my brother.
00:17:03
Chris
Yeah.
00:17:04
yo
It was nice to be At 16 with the doors up, people walking by.
00:17:09
Chris
yeah Yeah.
00:17:10
yo
now guess Station 1 will have that soon with the library being open maybe.
00:17:16
Chris
yeah yeah That might draw some people.
00:17:18
yo
but
00:17:19
Chris
Between that and that new development that they're going to put on the right side of the road as you go north on Beaglin.
00:17:24
yo
On the curve. yeah but yeah I told him, I was like, don't ever lose those buildings. They're so...
00:17:31
Chris
Yeah.
00:17:33
yo
you You might think this is the you know a piece of crap this building, living the crappy life, and then the moment it's gone, you're like, oh, we missed those.
00:17:42
Chris
Yep.
00:17:43
yo
And it changes you. It does.
00:17:44
Chris
It does, yeah. Yeah.
00:17:46
yo
Sad.
00:17:47
Chris
Yeah.
00:17:48
yo
so I think my brother and i said, I told brother, I was like, that's the dumbest thing the Salisbury Fire Department did was give up that building.
00:17:48
Chris
Yeah.
00:17:54
Chris
Mm-hmm. Yeah.
00:17:55
yo
And it should be taken back, put an engine in that station, and run the downtown.
00:18:01
Chris
Yeah. So it's funny you say that. And if we were talking today on A-Shift and somebody brought up the same thing. And I said, yeah, funny thing is I was working on something the other day and I was like, you know, people trying to use AI to like guide some things. I was like, hey, you know, AI, what will, you Salisbury look like in the next five to ten years and its impact on fire and EMS.
00:18:27
Chris
I said, well, with the colleges or the universities continued expansion, the hospitals, you far reaching areas and the downtown push should really think about relocating a station to the downtown area.
00:18:41
Chris
It's like, son of a bitch!
00:18:45
yo
They're not even using the building right now, right? It's just
Exploring the DC Universe and Streaming Services
00:18:48
yo
because they moved everything back to the GOB?
00:18:50
Chris
No, no, no. they They're still all in there.
00:18:52
yo
Oh, oh.
00:18:52
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
00:18:53
yo
Well, maybe we we fumigate the building, get all them out, and we get our building back.
00:18:53
Chris
No, it's just the council went back to the GOB.
00:18:59
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
00:19:01
yo
It still says fire headquarters on the top.
00:19:01
Chris
We were. yeah yeah. Yeah. We were there for, don't know, something the other day. And the basement is where, like, communications is.
00:19:12
yo
Sure.
00:19:13
Chris
And, yeah, we were, like, walking around and Kramer and I were like, oh, yeah, that's right. There was an ambulance there, a brush truck and an ambulance. And they were like, all that fit down here? Like, oh, yeah. Yeah. They still have the ceiling fan up in the kitchen.
00:19:27
Chris
No, no, they don't. But i it it would still work, though, I'm sure.
00:19:30
yo
I can tell you this. That ceiling pan probably went to a dump and it's still spinning inside the dump right now. Yeah.
00:19:37
Chris
ah
00:19:38
yo
Yeah. But we could take that building over tomorrow.
00:19:41
Chris
yeah
00:19:41
yo
but it The doors are are sort of there.
00:19:43
Chris
Yeah, we'd have to change that around a little bit.
00:19:44
yo
A couple days with us some sledgehammers, could get that all back up and run and put an engine in there.
00:19:51
Chris
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
00:19:53
yo
It's... You know, that's why it's not my brother. It's a... You're not a town or a city. You're not a city if you don't have a downtown firehouse.
00:20:02
Chris
Yeah.
00:20:03
yo
People used to, you know, they would come in there, ask questions.
00:20:03
Chris
Yeah.
00:20:06
yo
they It's a place people know. And like, oh, the firehouse. You go by the firehouse. And, you know, it's.
00:20:10
Chris
Yeah. Oh, you have a question? Go by the firehouse. so
00:20:13
yo
Yeah, it's a thing that our city doesn't have now because you lost that.
00:20:17
Chris
Yeah.
00:20:18
yo
We lost that downtown station.
00:20:20
Chris
Yeah.
00:20:21
yo
and it it it really did change how we operate and act. I feel like
00:20:25
Chris
Oh, yeah. I totally agree. Well, the good thing is headquarters is slowly sinking, so...
00:20:30
yo
slowly. don't think slowly is the word.
00:20:31
Chris
Well... Yeah. Yeah. had some engineers come out the other day and the one guy was like, that's not right. Thanks pal.
00:20:40
yo
x We know it's not right.
00:20:42
Chris
Yeah.
00:20:43
yo
the The whole hallway that looks like a house, ah like one of those fun house hallways where it's tilted.
00:20:47
Chris
Yeah.
00:20:47
yo
It's not, it's not good.
00:20:48
Chris
I said, he walking. He was like, there's a large hump here. I was like, yeah. Most of us forget about that now. Yeah. There's a big rise in the floor there. He was like, why are you guys just worried about this now? i was like, I can't talk for previous individuals.
00:21:00
yo
Right.
00:21:01
Chris
I came in in this position six months ago and this was my punch list.
00:21:06
yo
Yeah, the problem is what do you do about it?
00:21:08
Chris
Oh yeah. Yeah.
00:21:09
yo
You know. Hey, yeah spend $20 million dollars to fix the building or live with it.
00:21:15

yo
i
00:21:15
Chris

00:21:57
Chris
engineering or whatever is supposed to start in the spring.
00:22:00
yo
Right. Yeah, we're three years out from that building even being close to reality.
00:22:04
Chris
Hmm. Hmm. Yeah.

Chris
That's going to be my pitch Monday. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. This is a force multiplier.
00:23:20
Chris
Yeah. and
00:23:24
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. and Look, I got, I have a one-on-one with the fire chief on Monday, so it's in my list.

yo
We are under a out of topic 1. should
00:23:34
Chris
No, but this is like our monthly one-on-one.
00:23:35
yo
no i see
00:23:38
Chris
It's funny. He saw it on my calendar. I put it in the calendar as 1v1. Yeah.
00:23:43
yo
right
00:23:44
Chris
yeah Yeah, exactly.
00:23:44
yo
and fight
00:23:49
yo
well we are under a time crunch we move out a topic one
00:23:50
Chris
yeah Sure. Topic one.
00:23:54
yo
I wasn't really sure was going to go with because obviously we're a little rushed. But I watched the Batman.
00:23:58
Chris
Yeah.
00:24:01
Chris
Yeah.
00:24:02
yo
actually watched two Batman movies this week while I was stuck in the internet and could only read so much in my hotel room. um Which what aside, business trips are not fun if you don't like go to bars and drink.
00:24:17
Chris
Yeah, yeah, that's true.
00:24:19
yo
Because like if you're just like, i don't want to sit here at a bar and drink.
00:24:23
Chris
Yeah.
00:24:23
yo
I go out, I eat my lunch, I eat dinner, and then I come back to my hotel room and it's like, I got six hours to kill. What do do now?
00:24:31
Chris
Throwing a tennis ball against the wall.
00:24:33
yo
Yeah, yeah, basically. So I watched the the Robert Pattinson Batman.
00:24:38
Chris
Yeah.
00:24:39
yo
ah And we talked about it, you and I, a little bit.
00:24:42
Chris
Yeah.
00:24:42
yo
I am going to rate it highly. And I think this is going to be, people aren't going to like it. I think it might be better some than some of the Christopher Nolan Batmans.
00:24:52
Chris
Oh, I agree. Totally.
00:24:55
yo
Oh, I thought you'd be against me.
00:24:56
Chris
Yeah.
00:24:58
yo
It's definitely better than the Ben Affleck crap, but...
00:25:01
Chris
ah Yeah.
00:25:05
yo
I thought his take on Bruce Wayne basically being a depressed introvert was great.
00:25:12
Chris
Yeah.
Football and Streaming Frustrations
00:25:14
Chris
Yeah. I didn't like the hair.
00:25:16
yo
Yeah, that's fair. The hair was pretty dope. Like, but what are you doing here, bud?
00:25:18
Chris
Yeah.
00:25:20
yo
You're a billionaire.
00:25:21
Chris
Yeah.
00:25:21
yo
You gotta to have a good haircut.
00:25:22
Chris
yeah Yeah.
00:25:23
yo
But I thought that, like, his take of like, ah you know, he's depressed, he's lethargic, he's, you know...
00:25:30
Chris
h
00:25:32
yo
I thought that was really good. I liked... And I know that...
00:25:34
Chris
It doesn't really care about the Wayne stuff. the
00:25:38
yo
Yeah.
00:25:40
Chris
It's just.
00:25:40
yo
Like, not even paying his bills, clearly.
00:25:42
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
00:25:44
yo
I liked that they took the story... They didn't shove the... um backstory down your throat like it was there they didn't go all the way through an origin story again and they uh you know just were like oh yeah this is bruce wayne his parents died you already knew that we're moving on and they like they updated it for the times i thought that was kind of cool you know and then i watched the batman lego movie think that movie's an abomination
00:25:55
Chris
Right.
00:25:57
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
00:26:07
Chris
Yeah. Right.
00:26:11
Chris
Mm-hmm.
00:26:18
Chris
o
00:26:23
Chris
Yeah, i a lot of people like it. I'm not a big Lego Batman. I like the games, but the movie was not.
00:26:31
yo
Yeah.
00:26:32
Chris
It had a couple moments, but I just... don't know.
00:26:36
yo
Yeah, I thought the fight... the The only thing I will say about the Batman movie is he never felt like the Batman when he was fighting.
00:26:42
Chris
Mm-hmm.
00:26:46
yo
Because he gets his ass kicked quite a bit.
00:26:46
Chris
Um...
00:26:50
Chris
Yeah, well, I mean, this is what he's supposed to be like a year one year two.
00:26:54
yo
i think it's year two of being Batman.
00:26:56
Chris
Yeah. But I think the the fight on the like the scaffolding against all the fake Riddlers or whatever.
00:26:58
yo
It's...
00:27:05
yo
yeah
00:27:06
Chris
That was. That was very Batman-esque.
00:27:10
yo
yeah but like the fight where he's just like fighting the joker street toughs in the subway station was like this should be the moment where he just like kicks the shit out of some people like these are just these are just random street thugs we don't need to see them getting their you know good hits into batman we just want to see batman just whoop these guys ass
00:27:15
Chris
Oh, yeah.
00:27:20
Chris
yeah yeah yeah but if yeah
00:27:32
yo
Which I thought was cool too. like they just They never said anything like, why are these guys dressed up like jokers? They just moved on with it.
00:27:39
Chris
yeah yeah well i think it kind of grounds batman to say you know he's not superhuman and all but
00:27:46
yo
Yeah, but that's the moment you want him to be like, I'm going to kick your
00:27:51
Chris
yeah
00:27:51
yo
Come on, guys.
00:27:52
Chris
Well, he did.
00:27:53
yo
He does, but you know.
00:27:55
Chris
But he did take some licks.
00:27:56
yo
Yeah. And I'm going to say this. It was a really cool version of the Riddler.
00:28:06
Chris
Yeah. I just... don't know. The Blair witchiness of it, I didn't really like.
00:28:14
yo
Yeah, but see, I liked that it wasn't just like the Riddler is just the Joker, but green.
00:28:15
Chris
But
00:28:20
Chris
Oh, yeah, yeah, I think, yeah. And it was actually yeah riddles that made you think and.
00:28:26
yo
Yeah. I just feel like a lot of the Riddlers have just been like, oh, he's just the Joker, but he's green.
00:28:32
Chris
Yeah.
00:28:32
yo
And this was not. This was something completely different, and I thought it was really cool.
00:28:37
Chris
Mm hmm.
00:28:38
yo
So I have to give... I'm going to give high marks to the Batman.
00:28:41
Chris
Yeah, yeah, a little long.
00:28:43
yo
If I were to... It was a little long. It's, what, two-and-a-half-hour movie?
00:28:46
Chris
Yeah.
00:28:47
yo
240 or something like that?
00:28:47
Chris
Yeah.
00:28:49
yo
It's a long movie.
00:28:49
Chris
Yeah.
00:28:51
yo
If I were to give it any... ranking and you can i think i would put it at my number three batman movie
00:29:04
yo
it's got to be michael keaton the batman 1989 that's my number one i'm sorry it just will never change it's always going to be in my heart too and i think i'm going to give the dark knight a little bit of an edge and then i'll give the batman
00:29:04
Chris
but okay
00:29:12
Chris
yeah yeah
00:29:20
Chris
Yeah, I mean, The Dark Knight, though, it's a Joker movie.
00:29:23
yo
It is a Joker movie. But do you think that would have been a Joker movie if Heath Ledger hadn't died?
00:29:32
Chris
yeah I think so. I mean, that was a really good part.
00:29:35
yo
He's amazing Joker.
00:29:36
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
00:29:37
yo
um
00:29:38
Chris
Yeah. I mean, like second to Mark Hamill Joker.
00:29:38
yo
But I...
00:29:41
yo
Sure. Yeah, I would agree with that statement.
00:29:43
Chris
yeah
Classic Action Movies and Firehouse Traditions
00:29:44
yo
But I feel like he it gets a little bit of a nod because he died.
00:29:48
Chris
ah Yeah. Yeah.
00:29:49
yo
And that colors perception of the movie, maybe. Yeah.
00:29:52
Chris
yeah Yeah, I can see that.
00:29:53
yo
him but
00:29:54
Chris
yeah I will say the Batman has one of the cooler Batmobiles.
00:29:59
yo
yeah was i was almost shocked by how cool that was and it was like oh yeah that makes sense he's just a billionaire tinkering with like a dodge challenger like do this weird shit to it and is that colin farrell is the penguin or is that is he only colin farrell the penguin in the show wow
00:30:05
Chris
Yeah.
00:30:10
Chris
Yeah. Right, yeah.
00:30:20
Chris
No, no, it was Colin Farrell in the movie, too. Yep. Yeah, because the Penguin show is just a continuation.
00:30:27
yo
Oh, yeah. It was a really cool way to take...
00:30:28
Chris
Yep.
00:30:31
yo
I have not seen the show.
00:30:33
Chris
Yeah. The show's not bad.
00:30:34
yo
It was a cool way to take the penguin.
00:30:37
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
00:30:38
yo
Like, it's not jokey. it like One of the comments I made to you was, well, yeah, yeah, like, oh he's the penguin because his nose is deformed.
00:30:42
Chris
Really, you didn't want him just walking around going, wah, wah, wah, wah.
00:30:48
yo
That makes sense, right?
00:30:48
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
00:30:51
yo
It just all made... It tried to make sense, and I liked it.
00:30:54
Chris
Yeah.
00:30:54
yo
Yeah.
00:30:55
Chris
Well, and he was the penguin. I mean, it's just another, you know, oh, he's the penguin because he's running the iceberg lounge. And, you know, it's.
00:31:02
yo
Yeah, like there were things in the background that made sense of the Penguin, but it wasn't like he was like, here's my little penguins that I've strapped fireworks like
00:31:05
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
00:31:12
Chris
Yeah. And here's my umbrellas. And yeah.
00:31:14
yo
Right. Yeah. It was a much grittier version of the Batman, which I like.
00:31:17
Chris
So.
00:31:20
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. Well, and the emphasis on the crime families, the Maroney's and the hu oh gosh, Falcons.
00:31:25
yo
Mm-hmm.
00:31:28
yo
Yeah, I thought that was...
00:31:29
Chris
Yep.
00:31:29
yo
that I said I really enjoyed the movie. was not prepared to enjoy the movie as much as I did. And I give it high marks.
00:31:38
Chris
Yeah.
00:31:39
yo
ae That's my movie review of The Batman.
00:31:41
Chris
Yeah.
00:31:43
yo
My movie review of...
00:31:43
Chris
Yeah. Lego Batman was just.
00:31:44
yo
like man It's not great.
00:31:46
Chris
Yeah.
00:31:47
yo
it's It's a kids' movie that doesn't make sense as a kids' movie.
00:31:52
Chris
Yeah.
00:31:53
yo
And like, it should, like, if you want to show a kid's movie with the Batman, just show, you know, the 90s Batman animated series.
00:32:01
Chris
Yeah. yeah
00:32:02
yo
Like, don't so mess around with that.
00:32:06
Chris
Yeah.
00:32:07
yo
Did that come out before after the Lego movie?
00:32:11
Chris
After.
00:32:12
yo
It's after, right? Yeah.
00:32:13
Chris
Yep.
00:32:13
yo
It's clearly that they're just like, oh this worked for the Lego movie.
00:32:17
Chris
Yeah.
00:32:17
yo
Let's make a thing and
00:32:19
Chris
I mean, it's Will Arnett voicing Batman and
00:32:23
yo
Yeah,
Fire Department Culture: Coins, Patches, and Nicknames
00:32:24
yo
it's fine.
00:32:25
Chris
yeah
00:32:25
yo
It was fine.
00:32:27
Chris
yeah
00:32:27
yo
don't want to trash on Will Darnett's performance, but it was just like... Nothing of it was Batman.
00:32:35
Chris
No. No.
00:32:39
Chris
Let's see. Who was... Yeah.
00:32:44
Chris
Yeah, Michael Cera was Robin. That's right.
00:32:49
Chris
Oh, Ralph Fiennes was Pennyworth in it?
00:32:52
yo
ah
00:32:56
Chris
Okay. Mariah Carey was the mayor. What the heck?
00:33:01
yo
That seems like a waste of money.
00:33:03
Chris
Yeah.
00:33:04
yo
Sometimes when I see voice actors, I'm like, why did you pay the money for that?
00:33:04
Chris
Well, I.
00:33:08
yo
No one noticed it was Mariah Carey.
00:33:08
Chris
Yeah.
00:33:09
yo
No one cared that was Mariah Carey.
00:33:11
Chris
Yeah. i mean. Yeah. I don't know.
00:33:20
Chris
Some these people make what you were actually in that.
00:33:23
yo
Right.
00:33:25
Chris
Doug Benson. voice Bane. Bane was like barely in it, wasn't he?
00:33:29
yo
He's in it, I don't know that he's, does even have a line?
00:33:31
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. so Well, if you like The Batman, the sequel, no. There's a spinoff in the same universe or whatever.
00:33:43
Chris
The Clayface movie.
00:33:45
yo
I didn't know there was a Clayface movie. Oh, that's pretty cool.
00:33:47
Chris
it's They're working on it now. Yeah, it's supposed to I can't remember if it's Basil Carlo or one of the other Clayfaces, but it's all about yeah the actor. Yeah. Yeah.
00:33:59
yo
That's cool.
00:34:01
Chris
But yeah, the Penguin was definitely ah good show.
00:34:06
yo
It's a... It is nice to see a and ah different take on the Batman. and
00:34:12
Chris
Yeah.
00:34:13
yo
But also, again, like we've talked about before, there are other characters in the world that we could be doing. There's other things we could make cool.
00:34:19
Chris
Hmm. I think James Gunn has said that Batman won't be in the new DCU or whatever for a while. so
00:34:28
yo
I...
00:34:31
yo
but Also, the new Superman movie was on in the hotel room.
00:34:37
Chris
ah Okay.
00:34:38
yo
I tried.
00:34:39
Chris
Really? You couldn't get into it?
00:34:41
yo
Could not get into it.
00:34:42
Chris
Oh my god, it's probably the best Superman movie and since Superman.
00:34:48
yo
I think I just don't like Superman as a character.
00:34:52
Chris
Yeah.
00:34:53
yo
And if you don't like Superman as a character, that's going to be a tough sell. And the Lex Luthor stuff was...
00:34:56
Chris
Yeah.
00:35:00
yo
That's not good. I though i didn't watch the whole thing. I'm going to say, be very clear.
00:35:03
Chris
Yeah.
00:35:06
yo
Like, I'm going to say this.
00:35:10
Chris
Mm-hmm.
00:35:11
yo
I don't like Guy Gardner being the butt of a joke.
00:35:15
yo
The little bit I saw was like, oh, he's very jokey. He's the green goddamn Lantern.
00:35:21
Chris
Yeah, but he's a jackass of a Green Lantern.
00:35:23
yo
He is a jackass, but he's still the green Lantern. In that time frame, in that universe, he is the green Lantern. He's not just a jackass. He's a jackass who is also the Green Lantern.
00:35:36
yo
He's not on the same ah wavelength as Hulk Girl and whatever the hell that other guy who I've never heard of.
00:35:41
Chris
Metamorpho or Mr. Terrific?
00:35:43
yo
Terrific.
00:35:44
Chris
Oh, yeah. yeah
00:35:45
yo
Not even close. but it's not mean Green Lantern is almost as powerful as Superman, for God's sakes. If not, more powerful.
00:35:55
Chris
Yeah, but Guy Gardner's always been that kind of the side Green Lantern.
00:36:03
yo
you know, it's fair.
00:36:04
Chris
He's no Jon Stewart. He's no Hal Jordan.
00:36:06
yo
He's no Hal Jordan.
00:36:06
Chris
He's no Kyle Renner.
00:36:08
yo
It's fair. You know, but still.
00:36:11
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
00:36:13
yo
Come on. and like But like, the Lex Luthor stuff, it was a hell of a bull foot.
00:36:14
Chris
That was a hell of a bowl cut. Yeah.
00:36:19
yo
Like, they don't explain anything about how Lex Luthor's doing anything. Like, he just gets into, he knows where the Fortress Solitude is somehow, and just walks into it somehow.
00:36:27
Chris
No, it showed how he found that.
00:36:30
yo
No, the one girl's like, oh, it's kind of over here. And then he walks up to it and they're like, well, how are you getting in? He's like, oh, and he had no little faith. and then he just opens the... Somehow the doors open for no good reason.
00:36:39
Chris
be Because of who was with him.
00:36:42
yo
Who? Maybe I've missed this. I must have missed part of the movie.
00:36:45
Chris
Yeah, you miss you missed some part. Yeah, because Ultraman was with him.
00:36:51
yo
I don't even know who Ultraman is, but that's fair.
00:36:53
Chris
Yeah, yeah.
00:36:56
yo
Again, it might be explained.
00:36:56
Chris
Inexplicable. Yeah.
00:36:59
yo
just...
00:36:59
Chris
What about crypto? Crypto was great.
00:37:01
yo
I didn't see It wasn't in the part I saw.
00:37:03
Chris
Oh, yeah.
00:37:03
yo
Yeah. Was that part I'd given up?
00:37:06
Chris
So. Hmm. Gotcha.
00:37:09
yo
Yeah.
00:37:09
Chris
Have you watched any Peacemaker?
00:37:11
yo
No. And I can't.
00:37:13
Chris
Oh, my God. That is a James Gunn fever dream.
00:37:16
yo
Yeah.
00:37:17
Chris
Yeah.
00:37:18
yo
I can't because wife and I canceled Hulu and Disney and HBO.
00:37:18
Chris
Yeah.
00:37:22
Chris
Oh, yeah, that is on HBO.
00:37:24
yo
Yeah. Took a moral stand.
00:37:27
Chris
no
00:37:28
yo
Yeah.
00:37:29
Chris
mean, you see Disney reverse that.
00:37:31
yo
I did. I haven't decided what i'm going to when I'm going to take the Moth Punishment yet.
00:37:35
Chris
Yeah. Oh, yeah. Let him think about it for a while.
00:37:38
yo
Yeah. Well, you know, I don't want get into that. It's too politics. That's too much a punishment.
00:37:42
Chris
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:37:44
yo
Yeah, yeah.
00:37:45
Chris
yeah But yeah, it's it's funny that right now the DCU Superman, Creature Commandos, and Peacemaker. Sigh.
00:37:57
yo
Oh, I didn't realize that Peacemaker was part of the DCU.
00:38:01
Chris
Yeah.
00:38:01
yo
guess that makes sense. It's like...
00:38:04
Chris
Well, did you watch the first season?
00:38:05
yo
Yes.
00:38:06
Chris
Okay, so at the end of the first season, yeah, the Justice League shows up.
00:38:11
yo
Yes.
00:38:12
Chris
They redid it at the beginning of this season. So it's Guy Gardner, Superman, Hawkgirl, Mr. Terrific that show up.
00:38:24
yo
Oh.
00:38:24
Chris
Yeah.
00:38:25
yo
Aha.
00:38:25
Chris
Yeah. So...
00:38:30
yo
Yeah, the first season was fine. It's still wacky. I mean...
00:38:33
Chris
Oh, yeah.
00:38:35
yo
No matter what you do, it's a wacky...
00:38:38
Chris
Yeah. I think Vigilante is probably the funniest character in it.
00:38:39
yo
wacky joke.
00:38:43
yo
Yes. By... far.
00:38:47
Chris
Yeah.
00:38:48
yo
Yeah.
00:38:49
Chris
so
00:38:51
yo
But that's also a character who I am not at all familiar with.
00:38:53
Chris
Oh, no.
00:38:53
yo
The kind of...
00:38:54
Chris
I just know it. a He was in the Green Arrow show. but That was about it. And he was like, oh. hard ass like cop or something in that and this he's dumb kid who works in a like a what fry stand or something yeah so yeah
00:39:10
yo
Right, yeah.
00:39:15
yo
Well, we've had my Batman review. I'm going move on to topic two. Sorry we're rushing, folks. Again, people should to do.
00:39:22
Chris
yeah yep life is lifing um yeah so uh topic two ah tomorrow night
00:39:26
yo
Life is living.
00:39:32
Chris
my youngest will be going to homecoming yeah do you remember much about homecoming from high school but mean was it like a big production when you went
00:39:35
yo
Aw.
00:39:39
yo
um remember go I remember that I went.
00:39:46
yo
ah
00:39:50
yo
No.
00:39:51
Chris
or just i mean that high school dances in general yeah well
00:39:54
yo
Well, like prom was a big thing. Like prom was a big thing. And I remember like...
00:40:03
yo
going to homecoming and like having to clean my car because that was an important part of like picking a girl up is like having a clean car.
00:40:12
Chris
yeah yeah yeah getting a corsage
00:40:15
yo
No, and... But she didn't do that for homecoming. That was a prom thing.
00:40:21
Chris
oh well then oh no ge she's got a boutonniere yeah
00:40:25
yo
Well, and this is a... I think a thing that's changed between us and them this generation because I've heard other people say these things. I'm like, no, no, Like, Homecoming was just like, it was just a dance, right? Like, it was like, you had the football game you had the football game and you had a dance.
00:40:43
yo
And that was...
00:40:43
Chris
Well, my high school, we didn't have a football team, so we didn't have football game. but
00:40:47
yo
How the hell do you have Homecoming?
00:40:48
yo
That make any sense.
00:40:49
Chris
I don't know.
00:40:51
Chris
We had homecoming.
00:40:51
yo
Who's coming home?
00:40:53
Chris
I don't know. The soccer team. The wrestlers.
00:40:55
yo
but then
00:40:58
yo
Like he said, yeah, you can't have homecoming.
00:41:01
Chris
yeah
00:41:01
yo
You got to take yours back. you You must give up your homecoming.
00:41:04
Chris
okayll Okay, I'll turn them back in.
00:41:06
yo
But like, it was like, I mean, because like when I was, I have hazy memory of our times as youth.
00:41:15
Chris
When I was 17.
00:41:15
yo
You know, you had like the, you had the the homecoming football game with like a little bit
00:41:22
Chris
We had a pep rally.
00:41:24
yo
Well, yeah, that was like the Friday before. had little pep rally, you had the homecoming football game, and then the next, on Saturday, you had like the homecoming dance.
00:41:32
Chris
Yeah.
00:41:33
yo
And every school's homecoming was a different week. Because that's how homecoming works, because it's when your team is coming back from some away games.
00:41:42
Chris
Yeah.
00:41:43
yo
Football team.
00:41:43
Chris
Well, well, well Well, it's funny because tomorrow night is Parkside and Mardella's homecomings. So, yeah.
00:41:51
yo
Sure, Wilmar Della is not a football team, so what are they coming home from?
00:41:53
Chris
Right. Yeah.
00:41:54
yo
This is making sense.
00:41:54
Chris
Yeah. Well, Parkside didn't play an away game. They played Colonel Richardson at the county stadium.
00:42:01
yo
Does that count as a way for them?
00:42:02
Chris
No, they don't have ah they don't have a field at their high school.
00:42:07
yo
Oh, I guess it's just a practice field. They don't play there.
00:42:08
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
00:42:10
yo
Yeah, then it doesn't count. but this They're doing it wrong. Shut it all down.
00:42:13
Chris
Shut it out. hu But like, I mean, her and her friends, there yeah they they're having dinner tonight to talk about tomorrow.
00:42:26
Chris
And yeah.
00:42:28
yo
but But tonight you should go to the football game.
00:42:30
Chris
No, the football game was last night.
00:42:35
Chris
Wicomico County has put most of football games on Thursday night because they say it keeps it less rowdy.
00:42:43
yo
This this is just going to be a side tangent to this.
00:42:49
yo
i I am tired and this is i am tired. of these football organizations changing football dates okay high school football is on fridays college football is on saturdays nfl football is sunday and monday night and that is the end of the conversation no more thursday night football for fucking nfl no more friday games there's a friday game for god's sakes what is going on yeah there was a friday game no it was a saturday game whatever it was they're out of control college football
00:43:05
Chris
yep
00:43:13
Chris
what
00:43:20
Chris
what now they The only time they have Thursday games is Thanksgiving.
00:43:24
yo
No, that's not true.
00:43:26
Chris
No, I'm saying, but that's the way it should be.
00:43:26
yo
oh Oh, they can have Thursday.
00:43:27
Chris
Yeah.
00:43:28
yo
Yes, yes, yes.
00:43:29
Chris
Yeah.
00:43:29
yo
I will allow that like Thanksgiving or if Christmas Eve falls on ah on a Thursday, they can have a game.
00:43:33
Chris
yeah
00:43:34
yo
That's it. That's the end of the conversation.
00:43:35
Chris
Yeah. yeah
00:43:38
yo
It's insane.
00:43:39
yo
College football now. College football is on Friday nights, Saturdays. It's everywhere. it's
00:43:39
Chris
yeah that Yeah, that doesn't make any sense.
00:43:45
Chris
It should just be Saturday.
00:43:46
yo
You get one day a week. If you're not pros, you get one day a week. If you're pros, you get two days. That's it.
00:43:51
Chris
yeah Yeah.
00:43:53
yo
All high school football games should be across the board. Fridays.
00:43:58
Chris
Yeah.
00:43:58
yo
all All college. Across the board.
00:44:00
Chris
Yeah. That's why it's Friday Night Lights.
00:44:00
yo
Saturdays. Yeah. it we have We have a thing for it.
00:44:07
Chris
Yeah.
00:44:07
yo
it's ah It's insane.
00:44:08
Chris
There's a movie.
00:44:08
yo
And I will also say, I'm also done with the NFL. Because...
00:44:15
yo
Let's say, or at Major League Baseball, same thing, applies to them.
00:44:19
Chris
Yeah. OK.
00:44:19
yo
Let's say you are a diehard fan, and we're just going to go football because it's an easier number.
00:44:23
Chris
Yep.
00:44:24
yo
There's, what, 17 games now and instead of 16? I
00:44:27
Chris
ah yeah Are there 17 now?
00:44:30
yo
like that i think they added a game this year.
00:44:31
Chris
Oh my gosh. Oh,
00:44:33
yo
So, whatever. There's some number of games.
00:44:36
Chris
because I'm sure they have to play a game in Buenos Aires or, you know.
00:44:37
yo
Oh.
00:44:40
yo
but Well, that happens too. Hold on. You're getting ahead of the rant. Well, let's say it's 16. We'll go back to 16. There's 16 games.
00:44:47
Chris
Yeah.
00:44:47
yo
That means eight games are away out of your home market.
00:44:50
Chris
Yep.
00:44:51
yo
Eight games are in your home market.
00:44:52
Chris
Yeah.
00:44:53
yo
In your home market, you watch the football game. You should always be able to watch whole game on your local TV radio tv affiliate, right?
00:45:03
Chris
Yes, yes.
00:45:05
yo
That's not how it works anymore. If it's a Thursday night game, you got to watch it on Amazon.
00:45:07
Chris
What?
00:45:09
yo
If it's a Friday night game, you got to watch it on YouTube. If it's a Saturday game, you got to watch it on Disney+. plus If it's a Sunday game, you might be able to watch it on Red Zone. It's insane. It's infuriating.
00:45:19
Chris
Yeah.
00:45:21
yo
Infuriating to watch football anymore.
00:45:23
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
00:45:25
yo
And if, God help you if it's an away game, because I don't know how you watch it.
00:45:28
Chris
i
00:45:28
yo
I'm assuming you have to mail yourself there to watch it.
00:45:33
Chris
Well, that was like for years, me as a Raiders fan, I never watched the games.
00:45:37
yo
Sure, it's hard. Yeah.
00:45:38
Chris
Yeah. And then one of the guys guys, a city cop, he lived in our neighborhood for a while and he's a Raiders fan and he bought the whatever so he could watch all the games. So I'd, you know, stop by there.
00:45:50
yo
Right.
00:45:50
Chris
But yeah.
00:45:51
yo
Well, and like Major League Baseball is the same.
00:45:52
Chris
Yeah.
00:45:53
yo
but If you want to watch... the Phillies, for instance, right? You can only watch about a third of the games with one device.
00:45:59
Chris
Yeah.
00:46:04
Chris
Yeah.
00:46:04
yo
Like, it's insane. Insane.
00:46:07
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
00:46:09
yo
And football makes no sense.
00:46:10
Chris
but If it's America's pastime, shouldn't everybody be able to watch it?
00:46:15
yo
Is it America's pastime? Does anybody care about baseball anymore?
00:46:18
Chris
ah No, but I'm just saying.
00:46:22
yo
Yeah, it's fair. But does anybody care about it?
00:46:25
Chris
No.
00:46:26
yo
It's just it's infuriating what they've done.
00:46:28
Chris
Again, until they liven it up and let them take the bats with them to the bases and
00:46:32
yo
Yeah. That's all you need to do. let's and Take the bats with them.
00:46:34
Chris
Yeah. and And again, to get the person out, you can either tag the base or throw the ball at them.
00:46:41
yo
ball should have spikes on it. Just stick to them.
00:46:43
Chris
ah
00:46:43
yo
That way you know where it gets.
00:46:44
Chris
ah Yeah, there you go. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. ah Side tangent to that, watching The Running Man the other night. Yeah,
00:46:51
yo
Oh, isn't there a new one?
00:46:53
Chris
I guess it's closer to the book, but it's totally different than the Schwarzenegger movie.
00:46:57
yo
I don't want to see no book stuff. I want to see the Schwarzenegger movie.
00:47:02
Chris
yeah As I sat in the command post for six and a half hours the other night, yeah I watched The Running Man and then I watched Total Recall.
00:47:11
yo
The original.
00:47:12
Chris
Oh yeah, yeah. Originals, both.
00:47:14
yo
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:47:15
Chris
And that night I had nightmares about people chasing me.

yo
Like homecoming was always at the school.
00:49:24

Hmm. Hmm.
00:49:57
Chris
Yeah. The way the sun gleamed off the gherkins.
00:50:02

00:50:11
Chris
uh yeah yeah yeah
00:50:12
yo
that's how you do it. Yeah, it is weird, like, those kinds of traditions, which are meaningless, but boy, they annoy you. It's like, yeah, ultimately, it's just like you want to take you you don't want to tell your daughter this, like, you're not going to remember any of this.
00:50:22
Chris

00:51:04
yo
Constantly! um mean it just started again.
00:51:06
Chris
I've heard from a couple of people, yeah. Well, it's because the company... that it was got bought out by a new company i think that's why they're emailing everybody again because it's a new company yeah
00:51:17
yo
And they're like, your pictures are ready. like, my pictures? What are you talking about? It's like four years ago.
00:51:21

00:51:42
Chris
Yeah.
00:51:42
yo
Why did I buy this? This was dumb.
00:51:43
Chris

00:51:44
yo
What a waste money. I'm sure they do.
00:51:47
Chris
Yeah.
00:51:47
yo
Because I'm sure the company was like, you have to buy X number.
00:51:50
Chris
Oh, yeah.
00:51:50
yo
You know, and it's, you know what? I've also come to a commission and I know nobody wants to hear this. Let's stop with the challenge coins. Who cares?
00:52:01
yo
Who cares?
00:52:03
Chris
I never collected them, and now I have a collection.
00:52:06
yo
Yeah, I've never collected them either, and i have like a sta I have a drawer that's just stuffed full of no challenge coins.
00:52:11
Chris
Yeah.
00:52:11
yo
like I just went...
00:52:12
Chris
they're all across the front of my desk at work. And I'm like, Hey, yeah, I guess this is thing now.
00:52:18
yo
Right, but...
00:52:18
Chris
And the fire marshal, he was like, Oh yeah, you collect those. I'll start giving them to you. I was like, no, I don't. He's like, yeah, you'll get mine. and It's like, okay.
00:52:23
yo
Right. Yeah, and like, Frederick County was very nice. They gave me a ah challenge coin for helping them out. I'm like, cool.
00:52:28
Chris
Yeah.
00:52:31
yo
I'm just going to throw it away. like they They gave me a nice...
00:52:34
Chris
You're not going to throw it away.
00:52:35
yo
but Why wouldn't i
00:52:38
Chris
ah Glue them to the side of your RV.
00:52:40
yo
No. one ah don't want to do that. I don't want to do that.
00:52:47
Chris
ah
00:52:47
yo
i don't and like i hear people like, oh, but I have this really cool one. Who cares? Who cares?
00:52:53
Chris
We should start using them like pogs.
00:52:56
yo
That would be cool. Like, I've never, you know how, like, it's apparently a thing in the, I don't even, it's probably not even a thing in the army anymore, but that like, you walk up to a bar, you throw a challenge going down, her everybody's got be ready.
00:53:06
Chris
Yep.
00:53:07
yo
I've never been in a bar that everybody's throwing a challenge going down. Ever.
00:53:11
Chris
God, going to start doing it.
00:53:11
yo
Not once. And I've been in firefighter bars, and i they don't do it.
00:53:14
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
00:53:16
yo
I just, don't care.
00:53:19
Chris
Yeah.
00:53:20
yo
And I wouldn't, and if, by the way, PS the world, if you see me in a bar and you throw a challenge going down, I'm still not paying for your drinks. It's not happening.
00:53:27
Chris
Yeah, ah
00:53:32
yo
I'm not doing
00:53:32
Chris
yeah I got one from the ah police chief the other day.
00:53:36
yo
it.
00:53:37
Chris
um He did the fancy secret handshake thing.
00:53:40
yo
There's a secret handshake thing?
00:53:42
Chris
it's like it was palmed and he gave it to me that way which i guess is a thing i don't know because was like what do you want me to park your car
00:53:43
yo
Oh.
00:53:49
yo
Oh. Yeah, right, right, sir. Bring it around.
00:53:54
yo
I just... I know that like Fire Chiefs like like it because it's like, look what we did. It's like, yeah, but I don't care. It's just
00:54:04
Chris
well i think that's the hard thing it's um it's finding something that everybody kind of likes I mean, I still think we should go back to the I'm better than Donnie Phippen shirts.
00:54:11
yo
I
00:54:14
yo
i think so, too.
00:54:15
Chris
Yeah. Patches.
00:54:16
yo
either I never got one, but, you know, think you know... i think i think so
00:54:21
Chris
Yeah.
00:54:21
yo
but you know but the thing about The thing that bugs me about challenge coins, and this is ultimately, it's a thing we stole from the military, right?
00:54:29
Chris
Yeah.
00:54:29
yo
But fire departments already had a thing. What did you trade back in the day?
00:54:35
Chris
patches
00:54:36
yo
Patches. That has been a fire department thing forever, is you trade patches.
00:54:37
Chris
yeah
00:54:39
Chris
yeah
00:54:40
yo
Why the hell did we decide, nah, we're do that anymore, we're going to challenge coins.
00:54:45
Chris
Because you can't keep a patch in your pocket.
00:54:49
yo
Why do I need to get a patch in my pocket?
00:54:50
Chris
I don't know. Yeah.
00:54:55
yo
you know But that was a thing. that's
00:54:56
Chris
Yeah.
00:54:57
yo
That's what bothers me about it. like We have a thing. We as the fire service have a thing.
00:54:59
Chris
Yeah.
00:55:01
yo
It's called trade patches.
00:55:02
Chris
yeah
00:55:04
yo
Go back to that.
00:55:05
Chris
yeah
00:55:05
yo
yeah You were talking about tradition and all other things. That's their tradition. You think your patch is dumb? Get a new patch. right Be cool.
00:55:16
yo
but
00:55:16
Chris
Batting cleanup.
00:55:17
yo
Put a chicken chicken hawk in a patch and make everybody wear it.
00:55:23
yo
We were talking about that the other day about trying to find your old patch and bringing it back.
00:55:28
Chris
The duck.
00:55:29
yo
No, the baseball player. baseal fire
00:55:32
Chris
Oh yeah. Yeah I told Cox I couldn't find the baseball one.
00:55:35
yo
Oh, man.
00:55:36
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. I just get fat raffle to design something else that doesn't make anything so any sense.
00:55:43
yo
Right. I hate the chicken hawk. I hate it.
00:55:47
Chris
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:55:49
yo
hate it.
00:55:51
yo
Yep, people are...
00:55:51
Chris
It's majestic. No, it's not. No.
00:55:54
yo
It's not... I've never worn it. I don't have it on anything I have.
00:55:59
Chris
I got it on my wall.
00:55:59
yo
ah Yeah, somewhere I'm sure. I've got the Station 1 on i one of my shirts.
00:56:06
Chris
Yeah.
00:56:06
yo
my jacke It's on my car hair jacket.
00:56:09
Chris
Yeah.
00:56:10
yo
That's the only one I'll put on things. And it's still...
00:56:13
Chris
Yeah.
00:56:13
yo
I don't like it. But it's like, oh this is our patch.
00:56:17
Chris
yeah i remember and everybody had that was it proud proficient and professional yeah yeah three peas that
00:56:18
yo
Because they didn't put any thought into it. They just literally like, oh, okay, we'll just do this.
00:56:24
yo
free and professionalism yeah no my my favorite thing when we proposed the baseball player do you remember what he said you remember what his response was
00:56:39
Chris
was it so bad that's not american or oh that's what it was yeah
00:56:41
yo
no it has to have a mythical thing on it they they all have animals or mythical creatures i'm like what are you talking about
00:56:47
Chris
Yeah, that's right. Yeah. yeah yeah
00:56:50
yo
I could show you... ah Here's a patch from Brooklyn. It's a bridge. Are those mythical? Have you never heard of real bridges?
00:56:56
Chris
yeah
00:56:56
yo
What's wrong with you?
00:56:58
Chris
Yeah.
00:56:59
yo
What's wrong with setting ourselves just a little bit different than everybody else?
00:57:02
Chris
yeah Yeah. yes
00:57:06
yo
That's stupid patch.
00:57:08
Chris
yeah I'm going to bring that up also Monday. Turn in all the challenge coins. We're just giving out patches.
00:57:15
yo
hey It wouldn't bother me.
00:57:17
Chris
I know.
00:57:18
yo
It's a... It's... it's tradition right like some tradition is dumb some tradition that hurts nobody just so you end up with a bunch of patches that's like the worst thing that happens to you and you have to have patches sitting around your firehouse they don't cost that much they're probably cheaper than challenge coins yeah
00:57:21
Chris
Yeah.
00:57:25
Chris
Yeah. yeah Yeah.
00:57:31
Chris
yeah Yeah, but we. Oh, God, yes. Although who knows? I'm sure that we have a company that hand makes the patches and or something.
00:57:44
Chris
I don't know. They also dabble in electrical work.
00:57:48
yo
Well, according to a former assistant chief from the Salisbury Fire Department, he owns that patch. He designed it. He owns the patch. That's what he always told us.
00:57:58
Chris
oh okay hmm that's yeah yeah and that's not how that works yeah yeah
00:58:00
yo
Yeah. Yeah. I said, well, looks like shit. You can take it back.
00:58:06
yo
And it's also not how that works, but it's a terrible use of space. It's not scaled correctly. Drawing looks crappy.
00:58:12
Chris
yeah yeah
00:58:15
yo
Yeah. Sorry. This might be enough of the Sultry Fire Department batch.
00:58:19
Chris
Yeah, no, yeah, that's, yeah.
00:58:21
yo
Which we don't really even use anymore.
00:58:26
yo
Is it on anything?
00:58:28
Chris
What?
00:58:29

Besides our Class Bs?
00:58:32
Chris
The patch?
00:58:33
