Great job Mike. Glad to have found your channel

Hey Mike, great show once again and an outstanding guest. I bumped into Lou a couple times while he the boss on Sheffield. Between the Man Unders and track fires on the L line and the A line it was a small world when you work in Bklyn. I’m sorry I missed the show I actually had a head shaking question for Lou, you can ask him for me and gauge his reaction and I’ll try and catch your next show and Gettin Saltys ! Here goes. Ask Lou if he knows about an alleged, mighta possibly happened retirement party at 103’s house that allegedly occurred in 1990 ! 😂😂😂. No I wasn’t there but I may have allegedly worked with the retirees son when I was not an alleged rookie in D33 ! 😂😂😂

[@MCsAudio]

I’ll pass the word along 😂

such a great job you do with your podcast Mike. Your love for the history and utmost respect you hold for the members of the FDNY and NYPD shows greatly by how you conduct your interviews. Keep up the great work. Keep opening those new doors and always follow your heart and gut instincts.
