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.

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.

You’ve probably seen it in movies... someone collapses, a family member screams “They have a DNR!” and suddenly everyone freezes. But what actually happens in real life when a do-not-resuscitate order enters the scene?

In this episode, Jimmy and Megan dig into what a DNR really means, how it's used in emergency situations, and what makes it legally valid (hint: it’s not a tattoo). Jimmy shares a jaw-dropping story about teaching CPR at a ranch where not one, not two, but three generations of workers had DNRs... and were so serious about it, they even removed the battery from their AED.

From red folders taped to the fridge to expired forms stuffed in safes, they break down the biggest misunderstandings around DNRs and medical directives. You’ll learn why having the paperwork on you is crucial, what responders are legally allowed to do, and why even seasoned EMTs have performed 40 minutes of CPR while someone frantically searched for the right document.

It’s a conversation about planning, choice, and what it really means to respect someone’s wishes during a crisis. Whether you’re a responder, a family member, or just someone who wants to understand this stuff better, this episode clears up a lot of confusion, and may just inspire you to have a hard conversation or two.
