This week, we’re lighting a fire under your safety habits. Jimmy and Megan break down how to protect your home from wildfires, what to do if you’re caught hiking when a fire breaks out, and why those fire extinguishers from big box stores might not save the day.

From defensible space and dryer lint hazards to why goats might be your best landscaping crew, we’ve got practical tips for fire season readiness. Plus, Jimmy shares why commercial-grade extinguishers are worth the upgrade, and how to safely store them in your home.

Whether you’re a suburban homeowner or a weekend adventurer, this episode will help you outsmart the flames.

It’s CPR Awareness Week, and we’re setting the record straight. In this episode, Jimmy and Megan tackle the most common myths and misconceptions about CPR, from outdated advice still floating around the internet to reasons why people hesitate to jump in and help.

Do you have to check for a pulse? Nope.

Is mouth-to-mouth still required? Not necessarily.

Can you perform CPR without a certification? Absolutely, and the dispatcher on the phone can guide you step by step.

They also explain why it’s okay if you hear a rib crack (and why that’s not as scary as it sounds), how CPR changes for infants and kids, and what not to do if you think you're having a heart attack (note to self: do not throw self against a table).

They even dig into the uncomfortable truth about why fewer people are willing to perform CPR on women, and why it’s time we all get over it.

This episode we've got a lot for you! Practical tips, real talk, and a few weird tangents (like pancake-flipping babies and bad advice from the internet) that will probably make you laugh.

We're even talking about that infamous CPR training scene from The Office — the one with Bee Gees music, organ harvesting jokes, and some seriously bad safety moves. Jimmy and Megan explain what that scene got wrong (hint: almost everything), but also how pop culture moments like this can still spark curiosity about real-life emergency response.

Whether you’re CPR-certified, or not, we hope this episode inspires you to learn more and feel more confident if or when you need to action and lend a helping hand or two.

What happens when you mix martial arts, a little peer pressure, and three people who should definitely not be sparring at work?

You get a wild, hilarious, and surprisingly insightful podcast episode on self-defense, teamwork, and knowing your limits.

Jimmy is sharing stories from his many many years of martial arts training... from the moves he’s mastered to the injuries he’s racked up along the way (including one unfortunate groin incident that’s hard to forget). Then Megan and Miguel share what it felt like to step into their very first kickboxing class and how a few simple tips made them feel stronger, safer, and more prepared to handle themselves in the real world.

But don't get us wrong, this episode isn’t about how to win a fight... it’s about how to avoid one, how protect yourself, and how to get the confidence to maybe throw an elbow or two if it comes to that. Whether you’ve got martial arts experience or even if you’ve never stepped foot in a gym, you’ll come finish out this episode with a new appreciation for confidence, distance, and the power of staying calm under pressure.
