  • Two Truths and a Lie!
    Aug 5 2025

    What do frostbite, CPR, fire extinguishers, and a cardboard cutout of Justin Bieber have in common? They all make an appearance in this week’s episode. And yes, that’s exactly the kind of day it was.

    Jimmy and Megan are playing “Two Truths and a Lie,” Life Safety style. Each round tests Jimmy’s ability to separate fact from fiction on topics like drowning, emergency kits, seizures, airplane safety, and more. Turns out, not everything we learned in the ‘90s holds up... tilt your head back for a nosebleed, or not to tilt?

    Along the way, Jimmy shares a story about a bleach vs. urinal incident that may have turned into a hazmat response, and your hosts unpack why knowing the right version of age-old advice can make a big difference in an emergency.

    And just when you think they’re done, Jimmy drops in a “Would You Rather” question from his niece that pits two of his worst fears against each other: clowns and childbirth. His answer? Thoughtful… with just a touch of panic.

    This one’s full of curveballs, old-school myths, and random safety tips you’ll actually want to remember.

  • I Know What You Did Last Summer… You Got Burned!
    Jul 22 2025

    You know that one friend who insists they “don’t burn”, then spends the whole beach day turning into a lobster? Yeah… don’t be that friend.

    In this episode, we’re talking all things too much sun and not enough water. Jimmy and Megan sharing stories, smart tips, and a few bad decisions from their own half-baked adventures. You’ll hear how to treat a sunburn (please skip the butter), what dehydration actually feels like, and how to cool someone down fast if they’re headed toward heat stroke.

    Also on the menu: dreams of swimming with sharks, watch-tan regrets, and something called the taco method (yes, it’s a real thing for cooling people down... yes, we're hungry now too).

    So whether you’re beach-bound, hiking in the heat, or laying out in the backyard like a teenager, this one’s full of easy tips to keep you and your favorite friends safe this summer.

  • Silent But Deadly
    Jul 8 2025

    It’s odorless, invisible, and a little misunderstood. In this episode we're busting some of the most common myths about carbon monoxide. Including why that outlet plug detector might be a waste of your moola.

    We'll break down how CO poisoning actually works, where you should place your detectors, and how to avoid other sneaky everyday dangers, like blocked chimneys and indoor grilling disasters, to running generators during a blackout.

    We're also sharing:

    • Why you won't feel like you’re suffocating… until it’s too late
    • What symptoms to watch for (and why it can look like the flu)
    • How carbon monoxide affects pets (and why your cat might be the new canary)
    • Why carbon monoxide is slightly lighter than air, and how that effects detector placement
    • What to do immediately if the alarm goes off (hint: it’s not waving a kitchen towel at it)

    This topic might not be flashy, but it’s personal. Admit it... we’ve all ignored a beeping alarm or assumed a detector was working just because it was there.

    We’ve seen first hand what happens when people don’t know the signs, and how easy it is to prevent a tragedy with just a few simple changes. So in this episode we’re making it easy to understand, and throwing in a little humor - as always.

    Whether you’re a renter with a mystery detector in the hallway or a homeowner trying to figure out what "turbulent air" means, this episode will give you some new insights.
