    Oct 18 2024
    Comedian Tori Kilkenny tells two hilarious stories at our live show- one about the last time she blacked out and the other about an impromptu decision to tour her local fire fighting station. Tori then joins CJ and Sean in the studio and we talk about the joys of revisiting things you loved as a child , like fire engines and snow ball fights. This leads to a theme on firefighters- we share stats on how much firefighters drink compared to the average citizen and a story about a Wisconsin volunteer fire fighting crew that struggles to find a sober driver for the truck on weekends. We also share our own stories about dealing with Chicago fire fighters and what they will and will not respond to.
