  • 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’!

GETTIN' SALTY EXPERIENCE PODCAST Ep. 270 | JACK MCGEE
Q: How did you feel knowing that you played a part in some of the most influential media relating to the fire service?
It gives you a sense of pride in what you did at one time for living and then what you got to portray and bring a little bit of what it was really like.
GETTIN' SALTY EXPERIENCE PODCAST Ep. 270 | JACK MCGEE
Q: What do you think you took from your time in the fire service into acting?
It's life experience. You guys got life experience that you get from the fire department that you're using in this new venture that you're doing.
GETTIN' SALTY EXPERIENCE PODCAST Ep. 265 | BAY TO BROOKLYN ORGANIZERS | DARRELL SALES & FRANK WALSH
Q: Did you take the ride, too, or you evolved in another way?
No, I didn't know anything about it until about two or three months before they started going on the ride, and there was no way in hell I was in shape to do it.
GETTIN' SALTY EXPERIENCE Ep. 263 | FDNY - FIRE PATROLMAN | KEITH ROMA - TRIBUTE
Q: Can you tell us about the day of 9/11 and how Keith was involved?

GETTIN' SALTY EXPERIENCE Ep. 263 | FDNY - FIRE PATROLMAN | KEITH ROMA - TRIBUTE
