This week, Matt, Doug, and Unkie are back behind the mics — sweating it out in a closet, talking dryers that don't work, how many horses is too many, and why the 48/96 schedule might be the greatest fire department hack of all time.

What happens when your dream tool gets cut from the budget? The guys talk fire department finances, backup plans, and hovercraft rejections. Brian breaks down the budget process, Unkie explains how credit cards vanished from his department, and Doug? Well… he's still trying to get cowboy hats approved because that mustache deserves a brim.

From kitchen fires to candle mishaps, from firehouse kitchen tables to national fire code debates—we're hitting it all in this one.Brian, aka East Coast Lincoln, opens the show with heartfelt honesty and a long-overdue moment of silence.
