Mandate Update & Old Shows

We update you on the ongoing lawsuits against the FD with the vaccination mandate deadline passing for city employees. Danny explains how the lines between official and unofficial FD business can get blurred at times. We talk again about why this vaccine controversy exists in the first place, why the logic behind it is flawed, and the lawsuit is going nowhere. We talk again about how good men can be led to believe that voluntarily quitting their dream job is not only logical, but their only choice. How principles aren't really principles without consistency, & the irony of giving up your career because you're being advised to refuse a life saving vaccine, by people who were vaccinated themselves. Then we look back after 60 episodes at some of our forgotten early episodes (the 1st 15) & break down why they deserve another listen (except the 1st episode we agree was a mess). It's a great insight into the early days of the pod when we laid some amazing stories on our listeners before people really grasped what we were doing. Danny marvels at Ben's ability to remember every episode and guest in order, & we tease an upcoming episode with guys who will expand on the craziest and most overlooked rescue story ever on the show.
