I was ninety five. 25 00:01:10,866 --> 00:01:14,706 Speaker 2: I was still bemoaning the fact that the Patriots sucked 26 00:01:15,226 --> 00:01:17,586 Speaker 2: and that they're you know, I don't don't even get 27 00:01:17,586 --> 00:01:20,346 Speaker 2: me started.

Why you guys were 40 00:01:54,826 --> 00:01:58,066 Speaker 2: talking about Deon Sanders and Jerry Jones. I'm talking to 41 00:01:58,106 --> 00:01:59,746 Speaker 2: one of your crew guys, and he goes, hey, you know, 42 00:01:59,866 --> 00:02:03,066 Speaker 2: Jerry Jones just did an acting gig in Landman, Philly 43 00:02:03,066 --> 00:02:05,746 Speaker 2: about Thornton.

Without eventually seeing Jerry Joe. 45 00:02:09,226 --> 00:02:11,346 Speaker 3: Yes, and now he's acting like he's gonna hire me 46 00:02:11,426 --> 00:02:12,106 Speaker 3: on to be the head coach. 47 00:02:12,146 --> 00:02:16,506 Speaker 2: It's like, people know you as a Patriots fan. Yes, 48 00:02:16,666 --> 00:02:18,866 Speaker 2: I heard you have an NFC team too, Yes, what 49 00:02:18,906 --> 00:02:21,186 Speaker 2: do you do? So when I was when I was 50 00:02:21,266 --> 00:02:23,986 Speaker 2: I'm way older than you guys. When I was young, 51 00:02:24,146 --> 00:02:26,746 Speaker 2: my me and my older brother shared a room. This 52 00:02:26,786 --> 00:02:31,186 Speaker 2: is in the late sixties, before the merger actually, and 53 00:02:31,226 --> 00:02:35,266 Speaker 2: you know, the Patriots sucked. They sucked far so my brother, 54 00:02:35,826 --> 00:02:38,026 Speaker 2: because he got to set the rules because he was older, 55 00:02:38,226 --> 00:02:39,906 Speaker 2: he said, you know what, I think we should each 56 00:02:39,946 --> 00:02:43,386 Speaker 2: get to pick a national conference, national focal team, you know, 57 00:02:43,426 --> 00:02:45,946 Speaker 2: before the merger, so that that we have somebody to 58 00:02:46,026 --> 00:02:48,946 Speaker 2: root for. So he picked the Colts, who ended up 59 00:02:48,946 --> 00:02:52,946 Speaker 2: eventually in the and I picked the Packers. So there's 60 00:02:52,946 --> 00:02:56,026 Speaker 2: always been that, you know, that little side. I'm really 61 00:02:56,026 --> 00:02:58,026 Speaker 2: a Patriots fan, but I have this little Packers thing. 62 00:02:58,186 --> 00:03:02,186 Speaker 2: My son is predominantly Packers that she was growing up. Yeah, 63 00:03:02,226 --> 00:03:04,586 Speaker 2: but anyways, that's all changed now. I mean, that's that's 64 00:03:04,586 --> 00:03:07,746 Speaker 2: why people when I I say this to my Boston 65 00:03:07,866 --> 00:03:11,466 Speaker 2: sports friends, I'm I'm a huge Bruins fan. I'm actually 66 00:03:11,466 --> 00:03:14,826 Speaker 2: the narrator of their documentary series on Nessenale. Cool. But 67 00:03:15,186 --> 00:03:18,786 Speaker 2: but we in Boston, we have, literally and with football, 68 00:03:19,226 --> 00:03:21,626 Speaker 2: nothing to complain about. You want to talk about Mike Rabel, 69 00:03:21,666 --> 00:03:23,986 Speaker 2: I think it's great. You want to talk about Drake 70 00:03:24,066 --> 00:03:27,026 Speaker 2: May fantastic? I do I care? I do care? I 71 00:03:27,226 --> 00:03:29,626 Speaker 2: do I care that we're losing. Now you know why? 72 00:03:29,786 --> 00:03:34,106 Speaker 2: We had two decades of insanity and we were in 73 00:03:34,106 --> 00:03:37,266 Speaker 2: the Super Bowl almost every year, right and across the 74 00:03:37,306 --> 00:03:40,546 Speaker 2: sports board, Boston fans have nothing to complain about. I 75 00:03:40,546 --> 00:03:43,146 Speaker 2: don't think we should be allowed to that is, yeah, 76 00:03:43,186 --> 00:03:45,466 Speaker 2: So I do I root for the Patriots? Yeah? Do 77 00:03:45,546 --> 00:03:47,826 Speaker 2: they suck? They did suck? Do I care? Not? Really? 78 00:03:48,626 --> 00:03:51,386 Speaker 3: I'm happy Jamie get in here. 79 00:03:53,466 --> 00:03:56,466 Speaker 4: What a healthy sound, What a healthy and sound take 80 00:03:56,626 --> 00:03:58,906 Speaker 4: on the New England Patriots and their fans. Like it's 81 00:03:58,906 --> 00:04:00,626 Speaker 4: so true because for a while, I was like that 82 00:04:00,746 --> 00:04:02,906 Speaker 4: kid with the poster who's like, ever since he was born, 83 00:04:02,946 --> 00:04:04,906 Speaker 4: he'd want the Boston and won a title and like 84 00:04:04,946 --> 00:04:08,746 Speaker 4: every sports is alternated, where is that kid now? Speaking 85 00:04:08,786 --> 00:04:10,186 Speaker 4: of running it back with a guy that played for 86 00:04:10,226 --> 00:04:12,466 Speaker 4: your team. The Patriots hired Mike Rabel. There he's back 87 00:04:12,466 --> 00:04:12,986 Speaker 4: in the building. 88 00:04:13,106 --> 00:04:14,226 Speaker 2: So You're good, You're fine. 89 00:04:14,266 --> 00:04:16,106 Speaker 4: Do you think he can fix this thing after a 90 00:04:16,146 --> 00:04:18,786 Speaker 4: couple of years away from the stage and the trophy presentation. 91 00:04:19,346 --> 00:04:24,666 Speaker 2: No, we're five years away from doing anything. I mean, 92 00:04:24,706 --> 00:04:27,106 Speaker 2: maybe Vrabel will solve it, but I doubt it. I mean, 93 00:04:27,146 --> 00:04:29,786 Speaker 2: we need a complete rebuild, so we may have a 94 00:04:29,866 --> 00:04:33,786 Speaker 2: quarterback who knows right and who cares, don't care. I'm 95 00:04:33,866 --> 00:04:38,466 Speaker 2: so I'm so happy and satisfied. I'm very excited to 96 00:04:38,506 --> 00:04:42,506 Speaker 2: watch Bill Belichick destroy college football and become a champion. There. 97 00:04:42,666 --> 00:04:45,786 Speaker 2: I just I think that's more likely than the Patriots 98 00:04:45,826 --> 00:04:46,946 Speaker 2: even making the playoffs. 99 00:04:46,986 --> 00:04:49,346 Speaker 3: Do you think Belichick went in a championship more likely 100 00:04:49,386 --> 00:04:49,786 Speaker 3: the Vrabel? 101 00:04:49,866 --> 00:04:53,786 Speaker 2: Oh? I think I think Belichick slaughters college lot. Belichick 102 00:04:53,906 --> 00:04:56,186 Speaker 2: is a genius. By the way, Belichick can do anything. 103 00:04:56,226 --> 00:04:59,346 Speaker 2: You've seen him on television. He's fantastic. He can do anything. 104 00:04:59,586 --> 00:05:02,706 Speaker 2: So again, even if Bill wanted to retire and just 105 00:05:02,706 --> 00:05:06,426 Speaker 2: fish on Nintuck And I'm so happy, guys, and so satisfied. 106 00:05:06,586 --> 00:05:08,986 Speaker 2: I mean, I'm still a football fanatic. I watched football 107 00:05:09,026 --> 00:05:11,146 Speaker 2: like crazy, but as a Patriots and I'm. 108 00:05:10,986 --> 00:05:16,786 Speaker 5: Like, who cares. I absolutely love your passion for sports 109 00:05:16,826 --> 00:05:20,106 Speaker 5: and football, your Patriots. I know, as an entertainer, you've 110 00:05:20,106 --> 00:05:22,626 Speaker 5: been around a lot of sports folks, a lot of 111 00:05:22,626 --> 00:05:25,866 Speaker 5: players and coaches. You've got an encounter that you'll never forget, 112 00:05:25,906 --> 00:05:26,786 Speaker 5: you know, in that time. 113 00:05:27,066 --> 00:05:29,586 Speaker 2: Yeah, man, I've had so many great ones, I mean, 114 00:05:29,666 --> 00:05:33,346 Speaker 2: just insane ones over the years, you know. And and 115 00:05:33,426 --> 00:05:35,506 Speaker 2: you know, one of my best friends in life is 116 00:05:35,546 --> 00:05:38,506 Speaker 2: Cam Neely ended up becoming a Hockey Hall of Famer 117 00:05:38,546 --> 00:05:42,306 Speaker 2: and I actually was at that induction service. That was amazing. 118 00:05:42,386 --> 00:05:44,706 Speaker 2: But I actually, I don't know if you guys know this, 119 00:05:44,786 --> 00:05:47,306 Speaker 2: but I did tell the person who was doing the 120 00:05:47,306 --> 00:05:49,706 Speaker 2: pre show. So one of my best friends is Lenny Clark, 121 00:05:49,746 --> 00:05:52,866 Speaker 2: the actor and comedian, and Lenny became very close friends 122 00:05:52,866 --> 00:05:55,986 Speaker 2: with Bill Belichick as the Patriots Dynasty was happening. So 123 00:05:56,066 --> 00:05:59,826 Speaker 2: I got to meet Bill through Lenny and he was 124 00:05:59,826 --> 00:06:01,306 Speaker 2: a big fan of Rescue Me, and he said, do 125 00:06:01,306 --> 00:06:03,666 Speaker 2: you mind if I come to visit this set? I said, 126 00:06:04,026 --> 00:06:06,106 Speaker 2: how would you like to do a cameo? Right? So 127 00:06:06,266 --> 00:06:07,906 Speaker 2: he was like, oh, that'd be great. So we wrote 128 00:06:07,946 --> 00:06:11,666 Speaker 2: this little bit with him in phill Esposito the Bruins Legend, 129 00:06:11,826 --> 00:06:13,506 Speaker 2: and he said, I don't want to just come and 130 00:06:13,546 --> 00:06:15,226 Speaker 2: do the cameo. I want to come and spend an 131 00:06:15,346 --> 00:06:17,386 Speaker 2: entire day at the set. And I was like, Bill, 132 00:06:17,426 --> 00:06:21,306 Speaker 2: it's really boring. People don't understand. It's really boring. He goes, 133 00:06:21,586 --> 00:06:22,946 Speaker 2: I don't care. It won't be boring for me. And 134 00:06:22,986 --> 00:06:25,426 Speaker 2: I'm like, okay, it's going to be boring. So he came. 135 00:06:25,746 --> 00:06:28,346 Speaker 2: His cameo took like half an hour. So we shot 136 00:06:28,386 --> 00:06:30,746 Speaker 2: that and then I said, you can hang out with 137 00:06:30,826 --> 00:06:32,706 Speaker 2: us by the monitors if you want, because you know, 138 00:06:32,706 --> 00:06:35,826 Speaker 2: I was also the co showrunner and my writing partner 139 00:06:35,946 --> 00:06:38,386 Speaker 2: was the director of most of the episodes, so I 140 00:06:38,426 --> 00:06:40,586 Speaker 2: watched them. He had the little notebook that he pulls 141 00:06:40,586 --> 00:06:42,466 Speaker 2: out on the field make notes. During the game, he 142 00:06:42,506 --> 00:06:44,506 Speaker 2: had the little notebook and he kept pulling out the 143 00:06:44,546 --> 00:06:48,106 Speaker 2: notebook and making notes. And at lunchtime, you know, it's 144 00:06:48,146 --> 00:06:50,426 Speaker 2: like six hours into the day, he was like, so, 145 00:06:50,466 --> 00:06:52,226 Speaker 2: now the guys, when the guys come in with all 146 00:06:52,266 --> 00:06:54,666 Speaker 2: the equipment, when you guys call cut, what now? Who 147 00:06:54,666 --> 00:06:56,866 Speaker 2: are those guys? Now? I saw those the lighting guys 148 00:06:56,866 --> 00:06:59,826 Speaker 2: going up, and he kept asking questions and we went 149 00:06:59,906 --> 00:07:01,986 Speaker 2: back to work and he stayed for another six hours, 150 00:07:01,986 --> 00:07:03,506 Speaker 2: and at the end of the day we had dinner. 151 00:07:03,906 --> 00:07:07,786 Speaker 2: He literally peppered me with questions about the team aspect, 152 00:07:07,826 --> 00:07:10,026 Speaker 2: like who does this, when did they do it? Who 153 00:07:10,066 --> 00:07:12,946 Speaker 2: tells them? How do they know it was? Yeah? Like 154 00:07:13,026 --> 00:07:16,666 Speaker 2: he literally is such such a curious guy about the 155 00:07:16,706 --> 00:07:21,626 Speaker 2: psychology of the set. Leadership's the boss, That's why he 156 00:07:21,746 --> 00:07:23,066 Speaker 2: was talking to the quarterback. 157 00:07:23,106 --> 00:07:25,186 Speaker 3: But he was interested in the practice squad and the 158 00:07:25,226 --> 00:07:27,026 Speaker 3: trainers and all that stuff down. 159 00:07:27,026 --> 00:07:30,906 Speaker 2: That's really that tells you why somebody is a great coach, 160 00:07:30,946 --> 00:07:33,786 Speaker 2: because especially in football, man, I mean any team sport, 161 00:07:33,786 --> 00:07:36,746 Speaker 2: but especially in football, because there's so many people, so 162 00:07:36,786 --> 00:07:40,626 Speaker 2: many squads, right, I mean, that's why I love Like, listen, 163 00:07:41,066 --> 00:07:43,826 Speaker 2: you can't fault people. But when I'm watching head coaches 164 00:07:43,826 --> 00:07:46,266 Speaker 2: who have their face buried in eric are calling the 165 00:07:46,266 --> 00:07:49,386 Speaker 2: place and covering their mouth. But you watch Belichick. One 166 00:07:49,386 --> 00:07:51,706 Speaker 2: of the most famous things I remember Belichick talking about 167 00:07:51,786 --> 00:07:57,266 Speaker 2: was in that comeback against Seattle. Seattle think when when 168 00:07:57,266 --> 00:07:59,946 Speaker 2: they did the behind the scenes stuff of that, he 169 00:08:00,066 --> 00:08:05,826 Speaker 2: was watching Pete Carroll's body language. Yes, before they put 170 00:08:05,826 --> 00:08:09,266 Speaker 2: in their squad. This isn't Malcolm Butler, Yeah, the Malcolm Butler. 171 00:08:09,706 --> 00:08:11,946 Speaker 2: He remember that he didn't call time up? Remember, were like, 172 00:08:11,946 --> 00:08:13,746 Speaker 2: why is he not colle controversial, and he was just 173 00:08:13,786 --> 00:08:16,226 Speaker 2: staring there and when they interviewed me, so I was 174 00:08:16,266 --> 00:08:19,906 Speaker 2: watching the body language of Pete Carroll and their sideline 175 00:08:20,066 --> 00:08:22,186 Speaker 2: now to see that. 176 00:08:22,826 --> 00:08:24,866 Speaker 3: Yeah, he said something just didn't seem right over. 177 00:08:24,706 --> 00:08:27,226 Speaker 2: It didn't seem right And that was his gut right 178 00:08:27,266 --> 00:08:29,226 Speaker 2: because his eyes were on the field instead of on 179 00:08:29,306 --> 00:08:33,666 Speaker 2: a laminated piece of calling play. That drives me nuts. 180 00:08:33,746 --> 00:08:36,066 Speaker 3: Well, Peter Belichick probably the best coach ever. 181 00:08:36,386 --> 00:08:37,786 Speaker 2: What about the best football movie? 182 00:08:37,786 --> 00:08:40,386 Speaker 1: Well, this is okay, so polarizing movie that you were 183 00:08:40,386 --> 00:08:42,626 Speaker 1: in about eleven years ago amongst football people. 184 00:08:42,946 --> 00:08:44,786 Speaker 2: Yeah, I love Draft Day, he does. 185 00:08:44,946 --> 00:08:46,546 Speaker 1: I think Draft Day is awesome.

We had a blast. 226 00:10:23,346 --> 00:10:25,106 Speaker 2: I know people get caught up, but it's not realistic. 227 00:10:25,186 --> 00:10:29,626 Speaker 2: It's a movie. It's a movie. Okay, what are you 228 00:10:29,626 --> 00:10:33,306 Speaker 2: talking about? And Ken Costner's great in it, you know, yeah, 229 00:10:33,346 --> 00:10:35,506 Speaker 2: And I'll tell you behind the scenes story there. Oh yes, 230 00:10:35,506 --> 00:10:37,986 Speaker 2: come on that people don't know about. You know. I 231 00:10:38,026 --> 00:10:39,906 Speaker 2: have the super Bowl ring because I'm the ex coach 232 00:10:39,986 --> 00:10:43,586 Speaker 2: of the Dallas Cowboys, and I thank god I was. 233 00:10:43,666 --> 00:10:45,346 Speaker 2: I didn't have to talk to Jerry Jones to do 234 00:10:45,426 --> 00:10:48,946 Speaker 2: the movie. But they made up a realistic Dallas cobby. 235 00:10:49,026 --> 00:10:50,786 Speaker 2: You know you see that thing in the movie. And 236 00:10:50,826 --> 00:10:52,666 Speaker 2: I said to the prop guys, like, I need to 237 00:10:52,666 --> 00:10:54,386 Speaker 2: get one of these. When we wrapped. I'm not going 238 00:10:54,426 --> 00:10:55,506 Speaker 2: to sell it. I'm just going to keep it. And 239 00:10:55,506 --> 00:10:57,666 Speaker 2: they were like, we made an agreement with the NFL 240 00:10:58,066 --> 00:11:01,106 Speaker 2: that we would not let us even a fake Super 241 00:11:01,106 --> 00:11:03,266 Speaker 2: Bowl ring get out there. You have to give it back. 242 00:11:03,426 --> 00:11:05,226 Speaker 2: And at the end of the movie. Yet I don't 243 00:11:05,266 --> 00:11:08,106 Speaker 2: steal things. Some movies I asked for and I said 244 00:11:08,106 --> 00:11:09,826 Speaker 2: to the product, I have to have this. It's like, 245 00:11:09,866 --> 00:11:11,706 Speaker 2: you know what, take it? So I have it. It's 246 00:11:11,706 --> 00:11:15,226 Speaker 2: on my desk. You got a Cowboys throw around.

I 249 00:11:22,146 --> 00:11:25,546 Speaker 2: had a blast on that movie. I bet Jenny we 250 00:11:25,546 --> 00:11:26,306 Speaker 2: we just love how. 251 00:11:26,266 --> 00:11:28,706 Speaker 4: I love these stories and how passionate Dennis is about 252 00:11:28,706 --> 00:11:32,146 Speaker 4: all this stuff. The other topic besides sports, besides Boss's sports, 253 00:11:32,186 --> 00:11:34,106 Speaker 4: the fact that you've a foundation right now that can 254 00:11:34,186 --> 00:11:37,866 Speaker 4: directly impact and help people that are just nearby our 255 00:11:37,866 --> 00:11:40,666 Speaker 4: studio here in LA. The wildfires are going on. It's 256 00:11:40,706 --> 00:11:43,986 Speaker 4: it's affecting a lot of people here in Los Angeles. 257 00:11:43,986 --> 00:11:48,706 Speaker 4: You've a foundation that supports firefighters nationwide. Tell us more 258 00:11:48,706 --> 00:11:50,786 Speaker 4: about that and how impertinent it can be today. 259 00:11:51,066 --> 00:11:54,346 Speaker 2: Yeah. So I started the Larry Firefighters Foundation twenty five 260 00:11:54,426 --> 00:11:58,186 Speaker 2: years ago because my cousin, Jerry Lucy became a firefighter 261 00:11:58,266 --> 00:12:00,786 Speaker 2: and Worcester, mass which is where I'm from. UH and 262 00:12:00,946 --> 00:12:03,866 Speaker 2: another uh, one of our best friends from growing up 263 00:12:04,026 --> 00:12:06,746 Speaker 2: was also in the same department and six. So those 264 00:12:06,746 --> 00:12:10,906 Speaker 2: firefighters died in a fired downtown on Worcester and December third, 265 00:12:11,026 --> 00:12:13,706 Speaker 2: nineteen ninety nine. I started the foundation to help the 266 00:12:13,746 --> 00:12:16,386 Speaker 2: families of the six firefighters because there were seventeen kids 267 00:12:16,426 --> 00:12:19,786 Speaker 2: left behind. I have good friends in the FDNY who 268 00:12:19,866 --> 00:12:22,946 Speaker 2: went up to help dig out the bodies from that warehouse, 269 00:12:23,306 --> 00:12:26,586 Speaker 2: and when nine to eleven happened two years later, the 270 00:12:26,626 --> 00:12:28,586 Speaker 2: Wooster Fire Department was one of the first groups that 271 00:12:28,626 --> 00:12:31,346 Speaker 2: came down here. Anyways, body one of my best friends, 272 00:12:31,426 --> 00:12:34,506 Speaker 2: Terry Quinn from the fdn Y, who was the technical 273 00:12:34,506 --> 00:12:36,986 Speaker 2: advisor and rescue me. He said, you have to make 274 00:12:37,026 --> 00:12:40,466 Speaker 2: the foundation nationwide. So we went national and I just 275 00:12:40,546 --> 00:12:43,106 Speaker 2: want to say this the reason I have the foundation. 276 00:12:43,226 --> 00:12:46,546 Speaker 2: And twenty five years later, every year we get more 277 00:12:46,586 --> 00:12:50,626 Speaker 2: requests to help more departments because the funding has dissipated. 278 00:12:50,626 --> 00:12:53,186 Speaker 2: In the last twenty five years, we helped departments as 279 00:12:53,186 --> 00:12:56,626 Speaker 2: big as the FDNY down to local small departments, and 280 00:12:56,666 --> 00:12:58,626 Speaker 2: the problem is always the same. They're all getting their 281 00:12:58,626 --> 00:13:01,586 Speaker 2: budget cuts every year because they never go on strike. 282 00:13:01,826 --> 00:13:04,266 Speaker 2: So of course it makes sense for politicians and city 283 00:13:04,266 --> 00:13:06,546 Speaker 2: governments to say we're going to cut the fire fire 284 00:13:06,586 --> 00:13:09,906 Speaker 2: fighting budget because they won't leave work, They'll still go 285 00:13:09,986 --> 00:13:12,466 Speaker 2: to work. I like to wait till after these big 286 00:13:12,506 --> 00:13:16,266 Speaker 2: tragic events are over before people start blaming and pointing fingers. 287 00:13:16,346 --> 00:13:18,306 Speaker 2: I do know this about the LA Department. This is 288 00:13:18,346 --> 00:13:21,266 Speaker 2: a fact. They have been understaffed for ages. They have 289 00:13:21,586 --> 00:13:24,146 Speaker 2: vehicles sitting that can't be repaired because they don't have 290 00:13:24,266 --> 00:13:26,866 Speaker 2: enough money to hire them mechanics back to fix them. 291 00:13:27,146 --> 00:13:29,866 Speaker 2: As the wildfires have been growing over the last ten years, 292 00:13:29,866 --> 00:13:34,306 Speaker 2: that departments have been getting understaffed continuing every years. That's 293 00:13:34,386 --> 00:13:37,146 Speaker 2: a definite problem. We are very proud of the fact 294 00:13:37,226 --> 00:13:40,066 Speaker 2: that we take your money as it's donated every year, 295 00:13:40,186 --> 00:13:41,866 Speaker 2: within six months to a year, we have turned it 296 00:13:41,906 --> 00:13:47,226 Speaker 2: into literally vehicles, training facilities, equipment that the firefighters put 297 00:13:47,226 --> 00:13:49,426 Speaker 2: to work right away. And the other weird tie in 298 00:13:49,586 --> 00:13:52,346 Speaker 2: is on this show. Every year we have an event 299 00:13:52,466 --> 00:13:54,666 Speaker 2: called we Can Be Heroes just for one day here 300 00:13:54,666 --> 00:13:58,026 Speaker 2: in New York where citizens can pay. It's expensive, you 301 00:13:58,066 --> 00:13:59,386 Speaker 2: pay a lot of money, but you get to be 302 00:13:59,426 --> 00:14:02,586 Speaker 2: a firefighter for a day at the FDNY Training Academy 303 00:14:02,866 --> 00:14:06,826 Speaker 2: with FDNY firefighters and celebrities. And every year, because of 304 00:14:06,866 --> 00:14:09,746 Speaker 2: the team aspect of it, we've had NFL players, we've 305 00:14:09,746 --> 00:14:12,106 Speaker 2: had the commissioner come and get dressed up as a 306 00:14:12,106 --> 00:14:17,146 Speaker 2: firefighter for a day. Well, Curtis Martin, Michael Strahan, Harrison Smith, 307 00:14:18,106 --> 00:14:21,986 Speaker 2: I'm forgetting guys on, Nick Mangol, Tony Gonzalez. Tony's been 308 00:14:22,026 --> 00:14:24,746 Speaker 2: there multiple years. They come every year and these It's 309 00:14:24,746 --> 00:14:27,986 Speaker 2: interesting to watch NFL players do this because most of 310 00:14:28,026 --> 00:14:31,346 Speaker 2: them are still in shape. Curtis Martin can still and 311 00:14:31,906 --> 00:14:35,586 Speaker 2: they come and they're very overwhelmed by how difficult the 312 00:14:35,706 --> 00:14:38,426 Speaker 2: job is, but also by the firefighters, the men and 313 00:14:38,466 --> 00:14:40,866 Speaker 2: the women that are training them that day. Yes, because 314 00:14:40,986 --> 00:14:43,306 Speaker 2: it is teamwork. It's about teamwork. That's why we have 315 00:14:43,586 --> 00:14:46,866 Speaker 2: civilians donate and do it. But I guarantee you you 316 00:14:46,866 --> 00:14:49,066 Speaker 2: give us your money within six months to a year. 317 00:14:49,146 --> 00:14:52,586 Speaker 2: You actually see videos of departments across the country using 318 00:14:53,026 --> 00:14:55,186 Speaker 2: what we bought for them. That's an incredible pitch. 319 00:14:55,226 --> 00:14:56,746 Speaker 3: You watch that, you want to immediately part of it. 320 00:14:56,866 --> 00:15:00,986 Speaker 3: Leary Firefighters, Dot Org, Dennis, you do it all firefighters 321 00:15:01,506 --> 00:15:03,906 Speaker 3: and now soldiers. You play an Army colonel. Right now 322 00:15:03,986 --> 00:15:06,226 Speaker 3: in a new series going Dutch, we have a c 323 00:15:06,546 --> 00:15:06,986 Speaker 3: right now. 324 00:15:06,826 --> 00:15:08,466 Speaker 2: We're going to roll. It'd be very fun if we 325 00:15:08,506 --> 00:15:09,186 Speaker 2: rolled this clip. 326 00:15:08,986 --> 00:15:11,866 Speaker 3: And it was just Jerry Jones and dancing. Let's go 327 00:15:11,906 --> 00:15:14,786 Speaker 3: run a new clip rom going Dutch on Fox. 328 00:15:15,066 --> 00:15:15,866 Speaker 2: That would be odd. 329 00:15:16,546 --> 00:15:18,426 Speaker 3: I wasn't expecting to meet Maggie's old man. 330 00:15:18,826 --> 00:15:21,266 Speaker 2: Thanks for hosting me on your bit. It's not hosting you. 331 00:15:21,266 --> 00:15:23,706 Speaker 2: You are not some Swedish au pair. I'm bringing in 332 00:15:23,746 --> 00:15:26,426 Speaker 2: to take care of the baby. Why are you on 333 00:15:26,506 --> 00:15:30,746 Speaker 2: my bit? He's here to visit me. He's my special 334 00:15:31,106 --> 00:15:31,786 Speaker 2: man friend. 335 00:15:31,986 --> 00:15:34,946 Speaker 1: So it's casual or we headed in a certain direction. 336 00:15:35,226 --> 00:15:37,106 Speaker 2: Just for clarity, and how long has this been going on? 337 00:15:37,386 --> 00:15:40,146 Speaker 2: Three years?
