00:00:01.764 --> 00:00:06.639
You are listening to a special, safer edition of your podcast.
00:00:06.639 --> 00:00:08.804
I'm Travis over.
00:00:08.804 --> 00:00:09.404
There is Eric.
00:00:09.404 --> 00:00:10.387
How you doing, sir?
00:00:11.210 --> 00:00:11.871
Good, how are you?
00:00:12.779 --> 00:00:26.329
I'm doing spectacular so the reason that we're doing a special Safer episode is to tell you all about a chance to come out and see us if you like, get on the podcast, have a little bit of fun and do some very important learning.
00:00:26.329 --> 00:00:30.047
So Safer is the South Atlantic Fire Rescue Expo.
00:00:30.047 --> 00:00:34.832
That will be handled or it will be at the Raleigh Convention Center and we will be there.
00:00:34.832 --> 00:00:44.591
August 11th and 12th, which is Friday and Saturday, will be set up at the Firefighter Cancer Alliance table up on the mezzanine level.
00:00:44.591 --> 00:00:47.665
And, eric, where are you guys going to be set up with FHE?
00:00:50.560 --> 00:01:01.250
The Pulse Responders Peer Support Network is going to be set up with FHE downstairs main showroom floor booth number.
00:01:01.250 --> 00:01:02.625
I do not have a booth number.
00:01:02.625 --> 00:01:10.391
I apologize for that, but we are going to be down on the main floor though.
00:01:10.391 --> 00:01:16.855
We will be very easy to recognize with all our signage and everything else.
00:01:16.855 --> 00:01:18.438
So we are.
00:01:18.438 --> 00:01:19.382
We're excited.
00:01:19.382 --> 00:01:22.790
We're rolling into town in just over a week.
00:01:22.790 --> 00:01:29.867
We're actually arriving in Raleigh on the 9th and we'll be there all weekend, so we're looking forward to it.
00:01:30.879 --> 00:01:34.551
Yes, absolutely, and the cool part is I'll be able to hang out with you in person.
00:01:34.551 --> 00:01:41.448
We don't get to do that very often and do some recording there on site, but you know we're not just there for fun.
00:01:41.448 --> 00:01:54.719
You know this is a good opportunity to do some learning, and a very uh, very dear friend of the podcast, dr Tom White, will be presenting a very uh informative class on a Friday morning, august the 11th, at 930.
00:01:54.719 --> 00:02:14.879
It's entitled firefighter cancer from the clinical perspective and I think that would be a good opportunity for our listeners to be able to come and get and get an understanding of, um, how impactful uh the cancer issue is right now and how it looks to doctors.
00:02:14.879 --> 00:02:23.454
I know that seems a little strange, but, um, if we're not communicating with our doctor that we're firefighters, um, we could be doing ourselves a major disservice.
00:02:23.454 --> 00:02:33.605
Um and and Dr Tom, I've had a chance to teach with him before um to talk about the importance of this stuff, and his presentations are always jam packed.
00:02:33.605 --> 00:02:36.378
They're very down to earth, they're very firefighter friendly.
00:02:36.378 --> 00:02:38.977
You'll understand exactly what he's talking about.
00:02:38.977 --> 00:02:41.229
Um and Dr Tom's is really cool guy.
00:02:41.229 --> 00:02:47.383
So that was a really great class that I think that our listeners should take advantage of if they get a chance.
00:02:48.146 --> 00:02:55.461
Um also, um, on the 11th in the afternoon we're going, there's going to be a round table discussion about cancer in the fire service.
00:02:55.461 --> 00:03:09.604
That's going to be sponsored by VFIS insurance and, uh, I will be participating in the round table talking about peer support and I think Eric, he'll be backing me up on that as well and they'll be talking about things.
00:03:09.604 --> 00:03:16.748
They'll be talking about things like gross decon, a very good friend of mine, uh, that I work with professionally at Concord, josh Simpson.
00:03:16.748 --> 00:03:26.050
I'll be talking about that, and then we'll have, uh, the chief, uh, was it the state chief fire official, which is Brian Taylor, will be there as well.
00:03:26.050 --> 00:03:33.187
So a lot of experience and information there, not necessarily for me, but from the rest of the table and looking forward to that.
00:03:33.187 --> 00:03:37.087
But, uh, eric, what, uh, what other special stuff are we going to be doing?
00:03:37.087 --> 00:03:39.926
Uh, for our listeners in particular?
00:03:39.926 --> 00:03:46.204
Um, while we're there, I know we've got a secret little thing that we've been kind of holding back with our helmet stickers.
00:03:46.204 --> 00:03:49.181
I want you to tell everybody about that we do.
00:03:49.903 --> 00:04:00.693
Uh, this is this was actually your idea, travis um, and kind of handed it off to me to run with it logo, eyes and things like that.
00:04:00.693 --> 00:04:10.812
Um, and we we've kind of held off until this event to to launch this and this is 100% for our listeners.
00:04:10.812 --> 00:04:15.772
Um, we're going to have like our own little secret society, so to speak.
00:04:15.772 --> 00:04:24.666
Uh, and we're we're hashtagging it the, the ACB um, which stands for the all clear battalion.
00:04:24.666 --> 00:04:37.235
Uh, so our, our listeners um, they come by and see us while we're at safer Um, you have an opportunity to to do some recording with us If you would like.
00:04:37.235 --> 00:04:47.091
Um, you also have the opportunity to to get one of our cool limited edition right now Uh, it's a limited number of of our helmet stickers.
00:04:47.812 --> 00:04:53.088
Um, to help show your support, get a, get the word out there of of what we're doing.
00:04:53.088 --> 00:04:57.439
Um, and we'll have several different ways um that you can.
00:04:57.439 --> 00:04:59.887
You can join the battalion with us.
00:04:59.887 --> 00:05:14.120
Um, so please, if you are going to be attending a safer conference, make sure you get by and you see us down at um the first responders, peer support network booth or the the cancer alliance booth.
00:05:14.120 --> 00:05:18.077
I know that I am going to be bouncing around all over the place.
00:05:18.077 --> 00:05:25.982
Um, those four days that were there, uh, between our setup and, uh, your setup as well, travis, travis.
00:05:25.982 --> 00:05:39.206
So please come on by, check us out, get a sticker, help support what we're doing here and, uh, we're looking forward to interacting with a whole bunch of people, uh, uh, next week.
00:05:39.447 --> 00:05:43.504
So, yeah, absolutely, and you know the all clear battalion um.
00:05:43.504 --> 00:05:46.959
I think that's a very cool idea and the stickers are really awesome.
00:05:46.959 --> 00:05:51.444
I like them, uh, especially the big mustache.
00:05:51.444 --> 00:05:57.677
People are going to have to see you in person and see that to really appreciate the impact of that.
00:05:57.677 --> 00:06:06.745
But it's going to be a lot of fun and I am looking forward to being able to talk to some folks and help people discover our podcast and the importance of what we're doing.
00:06:07.947 --> 00:06:11.754
You know, the other thing that we're wanting to do is ask a question.
00:06:11.754 --> 00:06:20.579
We mentioned that you could be on the podcast, and the question that we're going to be asking is what lights your fire within as a firefighter?
00:06:20.579 --> 00:06:23.257
What motivates you to go to work every day?
00:06:23.257 --> 00:06:24.745
What motivates you to hop on the truck?
00:06:24.745 --> 00:06:28.475
What motivates you to do what you do as a firefighter?
00:06:28.475 --> 00:06:30.649
Very brief comments.
00:06:30.649 --> 00:06:38.617
We're going to have an upcoming episode that's going to have a whole bunch of those and it will really help us understand what firefighters are motivated by here.
00:06:38.617 --> 00:06:40.745
So it'll be a lot of fun.
00:06:40.745 --> 00:06:44.745
Now the other thing is we don't like to ask for money.
00:06:44.745 --> 00:06:47.615
I don't think we begged for money yet, have we, eric?
00:06:48.608 --> 00:06:49.331
But not yet.
00:06:50.266 --> 00:06:51.752
Not yet, but we are about to.
00:06:51.752 --> 00:06:52.434
No, I'm just kidding.
00:06:52.434 --> 00:06:56.072
So hosting a podcast is not free.
00:06:56.072 --> 00:07:19.500
To be honest, and to help us keep this pirate ship floating, we will have some limited edition challenge coins available for purchase at both of our booths, and these challenge coins celebrate the launch of our podcast and they also are working with our new fire within program that you'll be seeing more and more as we go forward.
00:07:19.500 --> 00:07:22.660
So a lot of really cool stuff happening at Safer.
00:07:22.660 --> 00:07:23.725
You'll get a chance to meet us.
00:07:23.725 --> 00:07:27.214
Most importantly, we'll get a chance to meet you guys.
00:07:27.214 --> 00:07:34.490
We're very grateful for the opportunity to really be able to have people listen to us and you know, I think it'll be a lot of fun.
00:07:35.964 --> 00:07:36.605
Absolutely.
00:07:36.605 --> 00:07:41.932
You know the support that we get, not just with the podcast.
00:07:41.932 --> 00:07:45.297
You know Travis, the Cancer Alliance.
00:07:45.297 --> 00:07:47.500
You know that's a nonprofit organization.
00:07:47.500 --> 00:08:04.278
First Responders Peer Support Network, that is a nonprofit organization, and if it weren't for the help of the people that support the missions that we're out here trying to accomplish, we wouldn't be able to do half the things that we do.
00:08:04.278 --> 00:08:08.490
So please stop by.
00:08:08.490 --> 00:08:15.071
We appreciate the support and, like I said before, I'm excited.
00:08:15.071 --> 00:08:18.555
You know we're right around the corner now and I'm like a kid.
00:08:18.555 --> 00:08:29.704
A week before Christmas I'm ready to get to Raleigh and start interacting with some of our friends and some of our new followers and things like that.
00:08:29.704 --> 00:08:32.052
So yeah, it's going to be a good time.
00:08:32.945 --> 00:08:36.153
So I have a goal and you know how.
00:08:36.153 --> 00:08:38.398
If you listen to NPR, you listen to any of it.
00:08:38.398 --> 00:08:43.735
You know, if you help us reach our goal, we'll end our pledge of drive sooner.
00:08:43.735 --> 00:08:49.677
Our goal is to have 300 new subscribers by the end of Safer.
00:08:49.677 --> 00:08:52.195
So if you get a chance subscribe.
00:08:52.495 --> 00:08:53.902
Leave us some comments.
00:08:53.902 --> 00:08:54.745
We want to know how we're doing.
00:08:54.745 --> 00:08:59.705
We're having fun doing this and it's kind of a covert operation right now.
00:08:59.705 --> 00:09:13.278
We're trying to get more and more people to listen and more and more people are finding us every day, but we look forward to seeing all y'all at Safer and we just wanted to drop this and give everybody a chance to know where we'll be and what'll be going on.
00:09:13.278 --> 00:09:16.331
Hey, eric, I got a question for you.
00:09:16.331 --> 00:09:18.970
Let's hear it.
00:09:18.970 --> 00:09:20.788
And he's quiet.
00:09:21.825 --> 00:09:24.672
So you know, I think I'm being set up.
00:09:24.672 --> 00:09:26.176
I don't think it's a good question.
00:09:27.065 --> 00:09:46.571
Oh, no, no no no no, no, I was reading the news today and they were talking about how there was a dwarf fortune teller that was arrested for basically running like a scam and he escaped from jail.
00:09:46.571 --> 00:09:48.114
You know what the headline read?
00:09:51.708 --> 00:09:52.331
No idea.
00:09:53.466 --> 00:10:01.413
Small, medium, at large hey we got a whole sack of them.
00:10:01.413 --> 00:10:05.683
Anyway honestly, guys, we have fun.
00:10:06.025 --> 00:10:08.291
I told you guys I was being set up.
00:10:08.291 --> 00:10:11.356
There was the dad joke.
00:10:12.407 --> 00:10:14.751
Oh man, I got a whole sack of them this way to where in person.
00:10:14.773 --> 00:10:17.528
I'll keep you lit up for two days, but you're right.
00:10:17.528 --> 00:10:20.009
Seriously, guys, thank you so much.
00:10:20.009 --> 00:10:22.707
You'll see that we genuinely are friends.
00:10:22.707 --> 00:10:30.299
We like each other, we like the folks that are around us, the folks that you've heard on the podcast so far and some of the new ones that you're about to hear.
00:10:30.299 --> 00:10:32.129
You'll get a chance to meet some of them.
00:10:32.129 --> 00:10:37.232
Just a lot of really cool things happening, so we'll see y'all at Safer coming up soon.
00:10:37.232 --> 00:10:40.366
Have a good day, thanks.
00:00:01.764 --> 00:00:06.639
