WE HOPE YOU HAVE BEEN CHECKING IN with the Firefighter Netcast channel (HERE) and catching up with the back-netcasts that are archived and ready for downloading.
Last week they had an interesting interview with a couple of nice ladies who are both publishers of fire blogs relating to their experiences as wives of career firefighters, Shari Simpson (Two In, Two Out) and Jenna Hatfield (Stop Drop and Blog). CLICK HERE to read more about them and get the link to either download or listen to the netcast.
The Firefighter Netcast hosts, Rhett Fleitz (The Fire Critic) and John Mitchell (Fire Daily) set up shop at last month’s Firehouse Expo in Baltimore and recorded more than a dozen interviews with people who are prominent in the fire and EMS community.
During the upcoming weeks, we’ll be hearing these interviews over the web, but there is one interview that I’m afraid we’ll never get to hear. As you probably know, F. G. Gnome was at the Firegeezer/STATter911 booth all three days and the Netcast Guys invited F.G. to be interviewed. He literally jumped at the chance and leapt up onto the broadcast table and began jabbering, like he does sometimes, completely ignoring the questions that Rhett and John had for him. Well, he IS a gnome, you know.
Despite the hosts attempts to rein F. G. in and get an intelligent report on his life as a fire gnome, the whole thing just fell apart as F. G. really got wound up and went off the deep end. Finally, Rhett and John had to just give up and scrub the show.
That’s too bad because there are a lot of people who would love to have heard the squeaky voice of our official gnome. When I asked F. G. what went wrong and why he failed to communicate effectively, he told me: “Ahhhh…. it was all those guys’ fault! They just don’t understand the Gnomenclature!”
That’s what I’ve got to work with, folks. The sacrifices that we have to make in order to bring you the Firegeezer news and events.
You can catch up on our previous Firegeezer Gnome reports HERE.
