This chapter starts with a beautiful prayer by Hannah, (Samuels's mother) and then begins to tell the tragic and shocking story of the sons of Eli, "worthless" sons to be more specific.

In this episode Josh, Andrew, and Nole are joined by Captain John Cavanaugh of San Fransisco Fire. The situation in S.F.F.D. is dire and the story of what has happened in that department should be shared far and wide. Here is a brief summary of John's story in his own words:I became a paramedic by accident. Literally. I had a job in the service industry and was on my way to work one day and stopped at an accident. Someone drove over the flares we set, and I was hit while trying to help. During and after my recovery I was very thankful for the paramedics and appreciative my injuries were minimized, and my recovery quickened by the care I received in the field. While talking about my experience when I returned to work my boss asked, “why don't you do that?”. So, I began looking into the process and became solely focused on becoming a paramedic and helping others. I started my career in the East Bay in 1989 and made my way to the City in 1991. Over the years I have been fortunate to give back to my community as a first responder, EMS educator, and providing community outreach. I have been fortunate to learn from the best in this profession and have spent my career sharing these techniques, information, and compassion with others. For almost 32 years I have been helping the sick and injured, teaching the next generation of caregivers, and comforting the spouses and families of the critically ill and deceased. That all came to an end on October 13, 2021 when I was forced to take an early retirement because of my faith.
