The EMS Lounge

This was recorded with my portable equipment. Sound quality is not the best. But it does talk about the bonds that are created through trauma. 

Have you ever committed to something with not really knowing anything about it? 

Check out this candid interview with Papa Shock from the meme page No Shock Advised.

Can EMS and Fire be arrested for blocking traffic with their rigs while on a call?

I can not believe how some people still have a job with the customer service skills. 

Lunacy. Is it real? I found a few studies on it. Here's what I found. 

As first responders we have a sick and twisted sense of humor. So much so that we can't post all of the things we want because we would for sure lose our social media, our podcasts, our spouses and without a doubt our jobs. 

Just a few simple ideas to help with the rising cost of living in today's tough times. 

I laugh when people say they had a, "rough night" because they had to get up 5 times after midnight. What did you do the rest of the night? Sleep?

First responders are like addicts. Listen and see why. 

New episode about......responsibilities. However, I also talk about some new stuff I am working on.  

STOP. POSTING. WHERE. WE. CAN. SEE. WHO. YOU. WORK. FOR.  Anti_tik_tok_cop 2.0 reposts other officers cringy videos. Go check him out on Instagram. 

AMR recently lost the contract to San Bernardino County. A lot of people are worried about their jobs. I can assure you that your job is still there. 

Was the firing of a DC firefighter warranted after stopping at Chick-fil-A during the response to a 911 call?

Maybe it's time to quit your, "dream job." If you've been at your job more than two years, and you're still complaining about the pay.......

Once again those with all the letters after their names got it wrong again. Why do first responders want to live in the middle of nowhere, on 20 acres, no neighbors, and off the grid? 

Believe it for not a pizza party can work to bring up morale. It's not about the food, it's about how you do it.  I was able to do it for just 99 cents. 

Recently I had an, "off day." I don't even know what caused it. But listen as I try to unpack the emotions and feelings from that day. 

Do you still enjoy running calls? Even the the ones that you really don't need to respond to?

Had so much fun talking with Daniel. He is a straightforward guy who understands what we all go through because he's going through it as well. I mention a guy by the name of Travis Howze. He has a podcast called Create Your Own Light if you're interested. 

I have ADHD characteristics so I Googled ADHD in First Responders. What I found was interesting to say the least.    I am still looking for sponsors.  Don't forget the Patreon Account.

I know we've all got tons of training under our belts, but there's one that none of us have received; and yet we ALL need it.  Still looking for sponsors for the show.  Please consider helping with our Patreon account.  Thank you!

First episode in a few years. Give it a listen and let me know what you think.  G

Did a little show on the difference between Alpha and Beta personalities. Discuss a little about nonexistent, "Toxic" masculinity.  

OK, so I did a show on it. Listen to myself and Dr. Jordan Wagner as we discuss Covid-19
