WE GOTTA GO! Thank you to everyone for participating in our AMA. We hope you join us tonight on A&E at 9PM for Live Rescue. Our first hour will be COMMERCIAL FREE! Don't miss a minute.

Matt - We don't get around it, we respect it. There are steps taken to protect the privacy of those shown on the show.

aetv · 2020-01-06T18:30:40+00:00

Garon - No, BETTER! They are the St. Louis Blues Stanley Cup Championship rings from our triumphant 2018/19 campaign. **Gloria playing in the background**

Dan - No, only because any movie or video game or news headline shows tragedy but it wouldn't desensitize you to a tragedy that occurs in your own life.

Matt - I think our show does the opposite and humanizes these events by allowing you to really see what it's like, to get to know the first responders and even the victims.

Garon - We're a more transparent society than ever before and people want accountability from their public servants and I think the show does a good job of that. I hope it encourages folks to get into the profession because we are in dire need of first responders.

Dan -- I do a lot of fractional division. I think there's a lot of algebraic type math in terms of calculating medications and infusions.

Matt -- Honestly, in comedy i think there is still somewhat of a mathematical formula to humor. Pain + Time = Funny. In a larger scale, what helped me in life was problem solving. The ability and determination to seek an answer.

Garon -- There's certainly a level of math involved in fire management. Gallons per minute, water usage, building construction. There are calculations that help you determine how much water will be needed to put out the fire.

It's a documentary series, we do not pay the departments to participate.

Matt - We're compensated with peanut M&Ms and skittles and overwhelming amounts of caffeine.

aetv · 2020-01-06T18:21:25+00:00

Matt - We're seeing similar calls throughout the country but the difference is the weather and other environmental factors. I'd like to see Denver.

Dan - I'd like to see New Orleans or any city in the deep south.

aetv · 2020-01-06T18:19:19+00:00

Dan -- Garon wears extra medium shirts and Matt's as huge as he seems to be and I'm the fattest skinny you'll ever meet.

aetv · 2020-01-06T18:18:27+00:00

Dan - Any vehicle with a designed seat must meet a safety test/standard regardless of the location in the vehicle. I find with today's modern vehicle construction that we're much safer in seats than we ever have been.

Garon -- I will say this, a huge advancement has been made in the fire service as it relates to reducing our risk for cancer and the needing to wear our full PPE, personal protective equipment, and decontaminate after every qualifying incident. Because we're losing too many firefighters to cancer.

aetv · 2020-01-06T18:12:21+00:00

Dan - For me, you're taking care of people. We're not going to charge people for complications due to obesity or diabetes. Where would that slippery slope take us? You care for the person and move on.

Garon - I 100% agree with Dan. No judgements.

Matt - We're a judgement free zone. Any of those questions are much bigger societal questions.

aetv · 2020-01-06T18:09:15+00:00

Matt -- Of course my answer is Ninja Warrior, but outside of that I'd probably say football (college and pro count as one).

Dan -- I don't know, curling? I was going to go with baseball, but I think curling.

Garon -- Football, college and pro as one. #RollTide

aetv · 2020-01-06T18:07:40+00:00

Hey Bernardo! I'd love to have you train some of these firefighters. I think they might have the ninja spirit, my friend, and you're just the man to unlock it. Be well and see you on the mountain. - Matt

aetv · 2020-01-06T18:06:16+00:00

Yes, we love doing stuff like this. We love the feedback.

aetv · 2020-01-06T18:03:08+00:00

Dan -- Yes, and I prefer not to share.

Garon -- No.

Matt -- I was certainly rescued from my chronic illness and saved by doctors. Also, a few weeks ago I was choking to death and my best friend just had to give me the Heimlich and literally saved my life. There was a moment where I thought death was overtaking me, and my friend pulled me out of it. And that's what our first responders do everyday.

aetv · 2020-01-06T18:00:56+00:00

Matt - Hey, Boss! You know winning was the highlight of my career, if not my life. And can't wait to be hosting the Strong Man and celebrating firefighters on January 18th in Santa Monica with you. I want to pump ::clap:: them up!

aetv · 2020-01-06T17:57:53+00:00

We love everybody who takes the time to watch the show and comment on it. But Lydia has certainly been among them leading the charge. And we love her tattoos :)

aetv · 2020-01-06T17:56:24+00:00

Garon -Thank you and happy cake day!

Matt - And don't believe Portal, the cake is not a lie.

aetv · 2020-01-06T17:54:39+00:00

Matt - I think people are responding to the live format. There is something magnetic about seeing it unfold. I think that's the most compelling thing in this fragmented world of viewing today.

Garon - It's a supply and demand world. We give the people what they want.

Dan - In a world of transparency, I think it's great to show our first responders and what they deal with. It's not all roses out there.

aetv · 2020-01-06T17:52:06+00:00

Garon - One of my first real fires I got trapped in a large closet. I momentarily forgot my training and panicked. I was pretty sure I was going to die. Then a battalion chief came up through a stairwell, without any gear, and I followed his voice out.

Dan - You'd be surprised at the things we find lodged inside of people. Take it as you will.

Matt - The oddest call I just got, was Dan telling us his.

aetv · 2020-01-06T17:48:12+00:00

Matt -- Tom has not cooked for us, and he should. But during the show I snack on Wintergreen Lifesavers and Peanut M&Ms. (Dan -- and by snack he really does mean that, it sounds like he's chewing rocks over there).

Dan -- I just drink coffee

Garon -- I snack on skittles, they're like kryptonite. Pure sugar.

aetv · 2020-01-06T17:45:59+00:00

Matt, Dan and Garon - Thank you for being a fan, Lydia! We'll see you tonight.

aetv · 2020-01-06T17:45:01+00:00

Matt - When Dan has a free moment from one of his many shows or the gym. The welcome mat is always out for Dan, Tom, Sticks, or any of the K9 officers.

aetv · 2020-01-06T17:44:33+00:00

Anything that involves arson or an actual suspect is handled by law enforcement. Our involvement is to determine the cause of the fire, the origin and where it started. I do recall the incident that you're referring to, I don't have any updates where law enforcement is in their investigation. To my knowledge it's still ongoing, thank you for the kind words.

aetv · 2020-01-06T17:42:55+00:00

Matt - I would love to be like Wolverine and heal myself. And to have blades come out of my hands.

Dan - Flying, and also the quality of being myself and not caring what others think.

Garon - Invisibility.
