Episode 48:
In this episode of The Original Firefighter Podcast, Will and Phil dive into the big headlines and the stories behind them. First up: Trump’s deployment of the National Guard in Washington D.C.—what it means, how it’s being received, and why it matters. From there, the guys tackle the surprising shift among younger generations away from alcohol consumption, and what that says about culture, health, and maybe even the future of the firehouse beer fridge. Finally, they wrestle with one of the toughest challenges in reporting—getting accurate numbers on murder rates in major cities, and why the data is often more complicated (and political) than it looks.
As always, expect plenty of laughs, some hard truths, and firefighter-flavored perspective you won’t hear anywhere else.
