“Getting to know you, getting to feel free and easy when I’m with you.”

This week Han, Cil, and Rachel temporarily put down the character analysis and get personal — about themselves and their 9-1-1 opinions.

After a year of diving deep into the wild world of 9-1-1, we realized we've been a bit mysterious — like, who is The Buddie System anyway? Ew. This episode is all about us: why we started a podcast, what it’s like to produce, and what makes us the trio you’ve come to love (or tolerate). So, settle in for story time as we share our personal anecdotes like how we started watching 9-1-1, and why we became obsessed with those two charming firefighters, Buck and Eddie.

And thanks to our amazing listener Jill (@right_writer_), we’ve got some great questions lined up to guide the convo, because honestly, we can talk about ourselves for hours but don’t know where to start.

So, whether you’re here for the inside scoop or just want to laugh along with us, we promise this episode is packed with Buddie System lore and good vibes. Join us as we celebrate a year of podcasting with our best buddies!

Episode Title inspired by "Getting to Know You" from the “The King and I” by Rodgers and Hammerstein
