When we hit “record” for the first time, we didn’t have a clue what we were doing. We were totally winging it. Honestly? This whole podcast started more like a group text—inside jokes, random stories, and way too much laughing at ourselves.
One year later—57 episodes (63 counting bonus episodes!), countless bloopers, a lot of late-night editing sessions, and more lessons than we ever expected—we’re still here. Still showing up. Still laughing. Still sharing our stories. Still forgetting to hit record sometimes (but hey, we’re human too).
In this special anniversary episode, Jimmy, Jenny, Megan, get together to celebrate everything this wild ride has taught us: the good, the hard, and the downright ridiculous. We’re pulling back the curtain to share:
- The coolest things we’ve learned along the way
- What turned out to be way harder than expected
- The behind-the-scenes chaos that somehow makes everything better
- Plus a bonus round of “Would You Rather” with the extended Life Safety team
The truth is, most podcasts don’t make it past 10 episodes, and over half disappear before they hit their first birthday. Keeping this thing going for a full year has taken heart, grit, stubbornness, a lot of caffeine, and most importantly... you.
From the bottom of our hearts: thank you.
Thank you for being part of this adventure. Thank you for laughing with us, learning with us, and giving this little project a reason to keep going. We’re so glad to have you along for the ride!
Here’s to another year of growing, laughing, messing up, getting back up, and maybe—maybe—hitting record on the first try. 🧡
So buckle up, tune in, and join us for this very special anniversary episode!

Hey, what's happening.
It's another life and safetypodcast with your girl Megs,
jimmy and today's special guest,jenny, the boss lady, and, of
course, it's our one yearanniversary.
So, first and foremost, thankyou, team, for listening to our
podcast for a year.
(00:21):
Without you, this doesn't work,and without us it doesn't work,
I guess, really.
But no thank you, team, from thebottom of our heart.
All the downloads, all thepasses and shares.
And I want to shout out acouple of folks really I'm not
going to call you out by name,just for reasons, but there's a
(00:44):
spot out in Mountain View whereI got a buddy who listens to
every podcast.
I found out yesterday or onWednesday.
That's amazing, and he told allhis coworkers and he kept
plugging it in our class.
So, thank you very much, dude.
I really, really appreciatethat.
Thank you, we love that.
Thank you so much.
Jenny (01:00):
Yeah, thank you.
Jimmy (01:01):
We love that Thank you so much, yeah, so today we're
going to have a little roundrobin with me and some of the
gals from Life Safety, and thenwe're going to bring the rest of
the crew in and we're going toplay a game I think we're doing.
Would you Rather right?
Jenny (01:18):
Yep.
All right, so we'll see whathappens when this goes, but
we're saving that for the end.
Jimmy (01:25):
Yes.
Jenny (01:25):
That's, like you know, the bonus at the end.
Megan (01:28):
Right, so stick around.
You managed to hang on for thewhole episode, right.
Jenny (01:33):
If we don't bore you before then.
Jimmy (01:35):
We got a couple of questions here that we're just
going to ask ourselves and youknow so, a couple of prompts.
We wrote a little script forthis one a little bit, and the
first one is kind of like what's?
I'm going to ask Megan, andthen I'm going to ask Jenny, and
(01:56):
then they can ask me thisquestion what's one surprising
or cool thing that you'velearned over the past year of
podcasting and full disclosure?
It's my voice for the most parton this thing, but Jenny and
Megan drive this.
If they're not here, thisdoesn't happen.
So this is, I think, is reallya question for them, and then
(02:16):
I'll answer the question.
Jenny (02:18):
It's for all of us.
As we were sitting here todaydoing this and recording, I was
really noticing that, like it'sthe three of us we any one of us
drops out and it just makesthis so much harder.
So it's not just, it's not justa Jimmy thing, or a Jimmy and
Jenny thing, or or whatever itis Like we couldn't do this
(02:39):
without you, megan, so I'm soglad you're here to do this with
us.
Thank you.
Jimmy (02:44):
We're glad you're part of the life safety family in
general.
Thank you, but you definitelyhelp with the podcasting and
stuff like that, but you'redefinitely appreciated.
Jenny (02:55):
I feel like I almost want to ask Megan that question
first, because her involvementin this has grown so much from
the beginning it wasn't reallysomething that was totally on
our radar.
And um so, since you've beensucked in and now you're like
fully invested with us in this,what's something surprising or
(03:16):
cool or fun that that's happenedover the past year, that you've
learned or that you appreciate?
Megan (03:21):
um, I mean, I always, always enjoy like hearing this,
like from the topic-wise, Ialways enjoy listening to
Jimmy's stories and like littletidbits of information.
I've definitely gathered a lotof just facts throughout this
process.
Okay, no, no, but in a good way.
In a good way Like, I'mlearning a lot, which I
(03:42):
appreciate, but from like theyou know more production side of
things, I've learned a lot oflike different tidbits and
things about recording,especially when I go back and
edit, I can listen and hear,learning all the different
(04:02):
settings of it and being likefinding ways that it works
better, um, like which rooms arethe best, like give us the best
quality of sound, um, and otherthings that like have effects
on how we record.
And just, I feel like ourquality of podcast has changed a
lot from that first episode towhere we are now and like seeing
(04:22):
all the different things andlearning like the different, um,
oh, what's it called?
But like the programs on thecomputer for like editing and
the software that we use toupload and all of the different
aspects of that has beenfascinating I love that.
Jenny (04:38):
That makes me so happy.
I love, and I agree, learning.
All that stuff has been superinteresting yeah.
Megan (04:45):
Even though I am of the technical generation, I am not a
technical person Liketechnology scares me a little
bit.
So this has definitely been apush for me to learn and it's
been good.
Jenny (04:57):
But you've been doing great.
You've been super open to it.
So, I very much appreciate that, because I don't have to do it
all myself and you've taught mestuff too.
Jimmy (05:08):
Okay, so who's next?
You.
Jenny (05:10):
Me next.
Yes, okay, surprising andreally cool for me is that,
regardless of how many downloadsit shows and you can't really
see how many people arelistening like overall,
depending on how people play itlike we can't see that and
downloads are different fromlistens.
(05:30):
So hearing from mostly jimmy oranybody else on our team, the
instructors or chris or whoeverthat people have listened or
download or that they listenregularly or whatever it is,
it's just, it's really cool andit feels so good because we're
there's actually people outthere listening to us and um
(05:52):
learning something from ourconversations, and we're not
just sitting here talking into amicrophone for no reason at all
.
So that is the coolest thing forme every time I hear that.
So, whether it's me or one ofour instructors, or Jimmy or
Chris or Monica anybody, if youlisten to our podcast, we love
hearing that you listen, sodon't hesitate to speak up.
Jimmy (06:14):
Good vibes, only no even if you have some, you know a
critique.
You know we can't learn andgrow if we're not learning or
hearing those things.
So obviously that helps.
Jenny (06:28):
Um, just do it nicely right, please don't hurt our
feelings, but we want to hearfrom you yeah, for sure, for
sure okay, so your your turn somy, my turn as the host.
Jimmy (06:41):
What so?
What's a fun fact or a favoriteSomething for me?
Jenny (06:48):
huh, Something that's been awesome, something that
makes you feel good about thepodcast.
Jimmy (06:54):
So definitely the positive feedback when people
tell us that they listen to itand seeing the downloads, it's
pretty cool, it's pretty crazy.
I talk a lot so it's hard forme to kind of think about those
stuff, because I just talk and Ijust talk and just so much
(07:25):
stuff happens.
So I just assume people justlisten to me all the time or
don't listen to me all the time.
So when I see people do that,it's pretty wild.
Um I it's amazing to me howmuch I enjoy doing this
sometimes like sometimes this islike super fun.
I kind of look forward to itbecause I know I'm going to
laugh.
Megan's going to say something,jenny's going to say something,
(07:47):
or I'm going to say somethingand I'm going to catch Megan off
guard and she's going to giggleuntil she turns red and can't
breathe.
Megan (07:54):
That is true, that does happen.
Jimmy (07:55):
Basically almost has an asthma attack on me the tears.
Megan (07:59):
Don't forget the tears.
I cry when I laugh.
Jimmy (08:01):
We get a lot of good tears too, and I guess I don't
know how much Megan cuts out,but for the longest time we
could never figure out when tostart the podcast.
That's true.
So I think for the first gosh.
(08:22):
At least six or seven months.
Six or seven months at least.
Megan (08:26):
It was an unfortunately long amount of time before we
figured it out.
Jimmy (08:30):
And then we started to like I don't know, I guess for
me I started anticipating whenshe would start the button and I
would look and I I go, did youdo it?
Yes, then we just giggle forfive or ten minutes and have to
cut it out, or sometimes wewould.
Megan (08:49):
Yeah, that so that's a fun one that's solidly like the
first 30 episodes that we hadall started with you like
giggling through the introbecause we just couldn't get it
right, at least at least sothat's kind of a fun behind the
scenes fun thing for me.
Jimmy (09:06):
Um I also found out that I don't like talking to myself.
So the ones this podcast ofjust me, maybe they have good
content, I don't know, um, butthey're really hard, really hard
, um, and those are the ones Iprobably script out the most,
(09:28):
cause I know it's just going tobe me.
There's some talking points,but those ones are really hard,
really hard.
Um.
Oh, and that was the secondquestion on our script here,
what ended up being way harderthan you expected over this
first year of making the podcast.
So that for me so I'm justgoing to keep going, because
(09:49):
that's what I do is I talk a lot.
Jenny (09:51):
Perfect, though you will just write into the next
question.
Jimmy (09:53):
We're good to go.
So being by myself doing apodcast was really really hard.
So being by myself doing apodcast was really really hard.
And sometimes doing a podcastin general it's hard because we
have to come up with new ideasall the time and I have to be
(10:15):
excited to talk about it.
And I've noticed that there'ssome things I just don't like
talking about anymore.
Or I talk about them a lot inclass or I just talk about them
at home or whatever it is, and Ijust go.
I don't want to talk about that, and megan and I will stare at
each other for 30 minutes or soand like, are we gonna start or
not start, and are we talkingabout this or that?
(10:38):
And I know we've had to startand stop a couple times.
I was like wait, I thought wewere talking about this or that.
And I know we've had to startand stop a couple times.
I was like wait, I thought wewere talking about this.
Megan's like no, we weretalking about that.
I was like oh shoot, we got toall right.
So that's been kind of hard.
That's been kind of hard for me.
I don't know.
I'm going to open it up to you,to you gals, what do you think?
Jenny (10:57):
First.
You want to go first, Megan?
Megan (10:58):
Go ahead, we'll go in first order.
Jenny (11:01):
Well, we were talking about this today, actually off
the podcast.
The hardest thing for mesometimes is getting it posted
and all of the little detailsthat go into actually getting
the podcast up, so getting itready to publish.
Megan does a lot of that.
But getting it in, getting thedescriptions done, getting it
(11:25):
posted, getting the social medianotices up, all that kind of
stuff, you think, oh, it's soeasy and I'm just going to do it
.
And I still think that waysometimes and then I sit down to
do it and it takes me a littlelonger than I planned.
Or I end up doing it late atnight because I'm behind, so
that portion of it has been alittle bit more difficult than I
thought.
Or I end up doing it late atnight because I'm behind, so
that portion of it has been alittle bit more difficult than I
thought it would be, but mostlyjust in the, the planning.
(11:47):
So maybe I just need to getbetter at planning and getting
it done.
Megan (11:51):
There's a lot of work that goes into the behind the
scenes of a podcast that, likeyou, don't think about until
you're doing it, you're like ohmy god, there's another.
Jenny (11:59):
Right, and they're not necessarily hard steps once you
know them.
There's a lot of them.
Megan (12:03):
Yeah, there's just a lot of small steps and they just add
together to be a lot.
Jenny (12:07):
Yeah, so cheers to us for doing this for a year, a whole
year.
I'm super impressed with us.
Actually, cheers.
Jimmy (12:18):
We're actually cheersing our water cups.
Well, my water, I have water.
Oh, jenny has water.
I have tea.
Jenny (12:25):
Flavored water yeah.
Megan (12:27):
Flavored hot water Right Right.
Jimmy (12:30):
Oh, I mean good All right .
Jenny (12:33):
So, Megan, how about you?
What's been the?
Megan (12:35):
hard thing, probably the behind the scenes also, just
like getting it done of.
You know I don't like listeningto myself talk.
Jimmy (12:43):
As much as I do talk, I don't like listening to it.
Megan (12:46):
So the editing process of like getting myself to sit down
and be like all right, just getthrough it.
Don't focus on your voice,Don't nitpick everything.
Jenny (12:54):
Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, definitely Don't nitpick.
Just, you know, make sureyou're not doing anything
completely egregious.
Yeah, yeah, and put it outthere and thank you all for
listening again.
Jimmy (13:07):
Yeah, yeah, that's awesome.
That's awesome.
All right, let's get into the.
Would you rather?
What do you think?
Jenny (13:14):
Yeah, let's do the fun stuff.
Jimmy (13:16):
All right.
Megan (13:18):
I'm ready.
All righty, let's start withyou, jenny.
Jenny (13:20):
Me first.
Megan (13:21):
Would you rather have a siren go off every time you
enter a room or have to narrateeverything you do in a dramatic
movie voice?
Jenny (13:30):
I think, if I like, I have to do the narration myself.
Yes, I think that's way toomany words.
My little brain would just stopfunctioning.
Yeah, I think that would bedifficult.
So I think I would go with thealarm and and I would probably
just roll with it and likestrike a pose every time, like I
(13:51):
am here people, and then itwould be quiet again, cause I
appreciate my quiet.
Yes, fair, fair, um, Iappreciate my quiet.
Yes.
Megan (14:02):
Fair, fair.
Would you rather have an AEDthat randomly plays stand-up
comedy clips or a trauma kitthat sings pirate songs when
opened?
Jenny (14:10):
Oh, stand-up comedy clips , that would be fantastic.
Maybe not the appropriate timeto laugh, but I think that would
be way better.
Megan (14:21):
I like it.
And then last one would yourather be the only person with
first aid skills during a zombieapocalypse or during a citywide
blackout?
Jenny (14:31):
Oh, I don't think I want anything to do with a zombie
apocalypse and I have no problembeing in the dark, so I yeah.
It would be difficult and ahuge pain in the ass, but
there's only one of me, so Iwould do my best.
Megan (14:44):
I like it.
Yeah, alrighty, let's bring inthe rest of our team All right,
well, wait a minute.
Jimmy (14:51):
I got a question.
Megan (14:52):
Okay.
Jimmy (14:55):
But you're.
You don't like to run, butyou're faster than zombies.
Jenny (14:59):
True.
Jimmy (15:00):
So you'd be okay.
Right, but I'm the only onewith like first aid skills yeah,
but I still don't want anythingto do with zombies, and it's
not necessarily about likewhat's around All right Fair.
Jenny (15:11):
I don't want one of those little creepers sneaking up on
me Like I like my sleep.
I want to be able to sleep atnight.
I don't have to be on guard.
I don't want anything to dowith zombies.
All right, fair enough.
Fair enough, so it doesn't haveanything to do with the skills,
it's just the zombies.
Jimmy (15:25):
Yeah, fair enough.
Fair enough, and Jenny knowsthis, but a lot of other people
don't know this.
I read a lot of zombieapocalypse books, so I'm like
wait, what are we talking aboutright now?
Because I'm all in for a zombieapocalypse.
Jenny (15:39):
It's a good thing you're on my team then because, right,
right, I'll just hold down thefort and you can go out into the
zombie land All right, jimmy isfor sure my first call if I
ever run into a zombie.
Jimmy (15:54):
Yeah.
Megan (15:54):
Oh my God, not even 911.
It's Jimmy.
Jenny (15:57):
It's Jimmy, your phone's going to be ringing off the hook
.
Jimmy (16:00):
Right.
Hopefully there's cell serviceand there may not be if their
power's out.
Jenny (16:07):
So you never know.
You never know, no, I like it.
Jimmy (16:11):
Oh yeah, awesome, awesome all righty.
Megan (16:14):
Now we have the rest of our, our little motley motley
crew.
What's our?
Jimmy (16:19):
motley crew of life safety employees teammates all
of the things.
Yes, there's the red face andthe cry tears with the giggles.
That's our, you know podcastlore there.
Megan (16:33):
It wouldn't be an anniversary episode if I didn't
have tears Right.
Jimmy (16:36):
Aw, so all right, we're going to start with Monica.
Monica (16:43):
Yeah, you.
Jimmy (16:44):
So would you rather?
Megan (16:47):
Would you rather have a siren go off every time you
enter a room or narrateeverything you do in a dramatic
movie voice?
Monica (16:55):
Ooh, I'd rather have a siren go off.
Jenny (16:57):
I said the same thing.
Jimmy (17:00):
I want to be all dramatic yeah, but it'd be so like every
room, though, like it's just,or like maybe I've heard too
many sirens in my life and Ijust like I'm over it I guess
it'd be fun to do.
Monica (17:16):
I mean, would it just be a different voice you know you
would have to do your own movievoice.
Jimmy (17:20):
It's like now.
Now that I've entered the room,what am I looking for?
Do I need to pick up the light?
Monica (17:25):
I think my movie voice is appropriate.
The siren would help us to knowwhen Monica comes in the room
so we can leave there.
You go, see, but then I don'twant to creep in and not let
everybody know I'm here.
Jenny (17:42):
Now I think it's Chris's turn to answer the same question
.
Jimmy (17:49):
Well, mr Garcia, I'd probably do the narration, just
so it can match the voices in myhead anyways.
Monica (17:55):
That's why you talk so much.
That explains it.
Jimmy (17:59):
Oh my gosh, okay, next question.
Megan (18:01):
We'll start with Chris this time.
Chris, would you rather have anAED that randomly plays
stand-up comedy clips, or atrauma kit that sings pirate
songs when opened and there goesthe voices.
Jenny (18:14):
And there's silence, silence.
Are the voices in your headtalking to you?
Monica (18:19):
I'm trying to determine if they're comedy or pirates.
Well, I wouldn't use the AEDtoo much, but I use the trauma a
lot more, so probably thepirate stuff.
Megan (18:28):
Okay, what about?
Monica (18:29):
you, Monica Yar Hmm.
Jenny (18:33):
Every time you open up an AED to check it at a client
site.
Monica (18:37):
Well, it depends, because some clients it's just
one it can deal with and someclients it would be like 30.
Jimmy (18:44):
No thanks, instead of comedy.
You know, you just get like agood joke every time you open it
.
Actually, that, but then itwould take me longer it takes
her long enough to do the sitesanyways how long is the joke
going to be?
Monica (18:55):
what if it's a dad joke?
What?
Jimmy (18:56):
if we put.
Jenny (18:56):
Jimmy's voice.
I don't even enough to do thesites anyways.
How long is the joke?
Monica (18:59):
going to be.
It's a dad joke.
That would be fun.
I don't need to hear.
Jimmy (19:02):
Jimmy's voice every day.
I'm okay with that.
Jenny (19:04):
No thanks, jimmy doesn't need to hear Jimmy's voice every
day.
Oh my gosh, that was awesome.
Megan (19:11):
Is there one more yes, starting back with you.
Monica, would you rather be theonly person with first aid
skills during a zombieapocalypse or during a citywide
blackout?
Monica (19:24):
The only person.
Jimmy (19:26):
With first aid skills.
Monica (19:30):
That's a good one.
I don't know Zombies.
They come fast even thoughthey're supposed to be zombies.
So I don't know.
You never know.
Every movie is different.
Sometimes they're fast,sometimes they're slow.
Jenny (19:36):
I don't know zombies.
They come fast, even thoughthey're supposed to be zombies.
Monica (19:38):
So I don't know.
You never know every movie isdifferent.
Sometimes they're fastsometimes they're slow, I don't
know.
They played the zombie games.
They come fast, probablyBlackout.
Yes, yeah, blackout for sure,what about you?
Chris, definitely the zombiesprobably less work because most
people are dead they're alreadyzombies right blackout.
(20:00):
You can choose to pick and findwho you want to find and it
just means there's no light.
Jenny (20:05):
It doesn't mean that there's necessarily anything
wrong with anybody maybe onceeveryone's happy in their house.
There you go, waiting for thelights to come back on yeah,
playing cards by candlelight arethere zombies in the house?
Jimmy (20:16):
Because the lights are off and we don't know what's
going on in other people'shouses.
We're staying inside.
Jenny (20:21):
Again blackout.
Monica (20:23):
There's no zombies.
My first aid skills in thezombie thing would be pretty
much double tap.
Jimmy (20:30):
Fact Rule number two Jimmy knows.
So we already put this outthere that I read way too many
zombie apocalypse survival booksand I've watched way too many
zombie movies, so, oh my gosh,okay, thank you, chris.
(20:50):
Thank you, monica, for playingalong on our anniversary episode
.
Yeah, thank you both.
All right, so now we're goingto do Miguel's.
Would you Rather?
Megan (21:00):
Well, this is for all three of us instructors, All
right.
So we got Miguel, Jimmy and you, All right.
Would you rather do a fullemergency drill in 100-degree
heat or in freezing cold weather?
Jimmy (21:15):
Go ahead, miguel, you can answer first.
I think, freezing cold weather.
I prefer the cold over the heatany day.
Megan (21:23):
Yeah, I agree, I'm a cold weather girlie.
Jimmy (21:28):
Just to be contrarian, I'm going to say the heat we're
also firefighters, so you'reused to dealing with heat.
Megan (21:34):
no, the heat doesn't bother me.
Yeah, not even a little bit.
Jimmy (21:35):
And I think so.
You're used to dealing withheat.
No, the heat doesn't bother me.
Yeah, not even a little bit,and I think so.
Actually I might change myanswer because I'm going to say
cold, because then I can tellthe people we're doing the
emergency drill with to put morewarm clothes on.
Megan (21:50):
I can't tell them to take clothes off or to cool off, and
I think there would be lesscomplaining from over doing the
drills with if there's, if it's,cold out yeah that's true so
I'm going cold but if it's justme, I'd do the heat and I also
feel like in the middle of adrill you're doing movements and
like active, so that's going tohelp warm you up yeah so I'd
(22:13):
I'd rather start off cold.
Jimmy (22:15):
All right, fair enough.
Megan (22:16):
Okay, starting off with Jimmy.
Jimmy, would you rather onlyteach CPR using sock puppets or
only teach using an interpretivedance?
Jimmy (22:26):
I can't even say it without laughing Interpretive
dance or sock puppets doing CPR.
Yeah, do I get to make the sockpuppets?
Megan (22:38):
Yes, get to is not the term I thought you would use.
Jimmy (22:43):
I thought, you would be like, do I have to?
No, I get to design themAnatomically correct, or yeah,
is somebody teaching me theinterpretive dance?
Or do I get to interpret everytime I do CPR?
Megan (23:01):
you are, it's all you it's all me every time.
Jimmy (23:09):
I'm just thinking about all the cool dances I can do at
100 beats a minute.
I'll be jiggling all day.
I'm in it's dance.
Jenny (23:18):
I'm dancing.
That is not what I expectedyour answer to be.
No, I did.
Monica (23:24):
Have you seen him?
Dj?
Just saying, I'm dancing.
Megan (23:31):
What about you, Miguel?
Jimmy (23:32):
Well, on further record sock puppets are creepy.
Yeah, no, I'd go sock puppets.
I don't know about the wholedancing and the whole jiggling
part.
Nah, not happening.
It's because you're a creepydude, keep going.
Megan (23:49):
And I think I have to go interpretive dance, considering
I'm a dance major, right.
Jimmy (23:53):
Yeah.
Megan (23:56):
And then last one.
I'll start it off.
Would you rather teach a CPRclass where every student
interrupts with weird facts, orone where nobody says a single
word?
And having had taught both ofthose types of classes, I prefer
the more talkative ones.
Even if they're weird factsthat have like no bearing on the
class, at least they're talking.
It really sucks, just like liketalking to an empty room of
(24:18):
just glazed over eyes staring atyou.
I don't like it.
I'd rather have weird facts.
Jimmy (24:25):
And then I get weird facts, alright.
Cool, cool.
Alright, miguel, what do youthink?
I agree with that, I'd rather gowith the weird facts.
Sometimes those weird factsmake sense, sometimes they don't
.
It just makes the class moreinteresting, gets people more
(24:46):
involved and everyone's just allquiet.
Yeah.
Monica (24:50):
Everyone's just staring at you.
Megan (24:53):
Okay, what about you?
Jimmy (24:57):
Well, I'm a Gemini, so I like both of those answers.
So it depends on which mood I'min that day.
Which way the wind's blowing.
That explains it.
It is right.
So if it's the people juststaring, at me.
I can usually make a joke, I canprobably do something and break
them out of that, and I kind oflike that challenge, whereas
(25:23):
that's a little bit easierversus people just talking over
me.
You know, like what's aninterrupting cow say, moo, right
, like that bugs me, and then Iget grumpy and then it's hard
for me to stay positive and keepthe class positive right.
So I, I like the challenge, Ithink, of people being quiet.
Um, there are certain classes,though, like groups of classes
(25:48):
of people that are my friends,so to speak, and if they want to
do the interrupting cow thing,cool, I'm gonna let them talk.
They pay me anyways.
Um, but that's not what we do,right?
So that's hard for me.
Um, I don't, so I don't have aroad to.
(26:09):
Rather, on that one, I likeboth of those.
I like one for the challenge, Ilike one for the, the
camaraderie ship, if you will,and, to your point, I like to
learn things too, you know, um,yeah, and it's easier for me to
say let's get going versus shutup.
(26:30):
You're talking too much rightCause it's let's get going
versus shut up.
You're talking too much RightBecause there's no tackle way to
do that.
Yeah, right, so yeah that's myGemini Both sides of the coin in
that one, both sides of thesword.
Yeah for sure, yeah.
That was a good one I liked it,I liked it and just for the
record, I would rather do usethe AED.
That tells me a stand-up comedything that's going to break the
(26:54):
monotony of somebody doing CPR.
Monica (26:57):
Fair, fair.
Megan (26:58):
I like it, I agree with them.
Monica (27:00):
And I think but it might not have the cadence, though
that's okay.
Jimmy (27:03):
That's okay and I think, probably being the only person
in this room that's actuallydone CPR on a person, it's kind
of nice to break that up,because there's lots of tension,
I'm sure lots of tensions tohave somebody come up and be
like I don't know, insert joke.
You know, here it'd probably bekind of nice, you know, kind of
(27:25):
break the tension.
You know it's like that tensionyell thing.
Somebody had to do it.
It felt weird, right, all right, well, from the Life Safety
family to you all.
Thank you so much for listeningto our podcast, thank you so
(27:46):
much for just being a part ofour journey and be safe, be well
and we'll see you around peacethank you, everybody.
Hey, what's happening.
It's another life and safetypodcast with your girl Megs,
jimmy and today's special guest,jenny, the boss lady, and, of
course, it's our one yearanniversary.
So, first and foremost, thankyou, team, for listening to our
podcast for a year.
(00:21):
Without you, this doesn't work,and without us it doesn't work,
I guess, really.
But no thank you, team, from thebottom of our heart.
All the downloads, all thepasses and shares.
And I want to shout out acouple of folks really I'm not
going to call you out by name,just for reasons, but there's a
(00:44):
spot out in Mountain View whereI got a buddy who listens to
every podcast.
I found out yesterday or onWednesday.
That's amazing, and he told allhis coworkers and he kept
plugging it in our class.
So, thank you very much, dude.
I really, really appreciatethat.
Thank you, we love that.
Thank you so much.
Jenny (01:00):
Yeah, thank you.
Jimmy (01:01):
We love that Thank you so much, yeah, so today we're
going to have a little roundrobin with me and some of the
gals from Life Safety, and thenwe're going to bring the rest of
the crew in and we're going toplay a game I think we're doing.
Would you Rather right?
Jenny (01:18):
Yep.
All right, so we'll see whathappens when this goes, but
we're saving that for the end.
Jimmy (01:25):
Yes.
Jenny (01:25):
That's, like you know, the bonus at the end.
Megan (01:28):
Right, so stick around.
You managed to hang on for thewhole episode, right.
Jenny (01:33):
If we don't bore you before then.
Jimmy (01:35):
We got a couple of questions here that we're just
going to ask ourselves and youknow so, a couple of prompts.
We wrote a little script forthis one a little bit, and the
first one is kind of like what's?
I'm going to ask Megan, andthen I'm going to ask Jenny, and
(01:56):
then they can ask me thisquestion what's one surprising
or cool thing that you'velearned over the past year of
podcasting and full disclosure?
It's my voice for the most parton this thing, but Jenny and
Megan drive this.
If they're not here, thisdoesn't happen.
So this is, I think, is reallya question for them, and then
(02:16):
I'll answer the question.
Jenny (02:18):
It's for all of us.
As we were sitting here todaydoing this and recording, I was
really noticing that, like it'sthe three of us we any one of us
drops out and it just makesthis so much harder.
So it's not just, it's not justa Jimmy thing, or a Jimmy and
Jenny thing, or or whatever itis Like we couldn't do this
(02:39):
without you, megan, so I'm soglad you're here to do this with
us.
Thank you.
Jimmy (02:44):
We're glad you're part of the life safety family in
general.
Thank you, but you definitelyhelp with the podcasting and
stuff like that, but you'redefinitely appreciated.
Jenny (02:55):
I feel like I almost want to ask Megan that question
first, because her involvementin this has grown so much from
the beginning it wasn't reallysomething that was totally on
our radar.
And um so, since you've beensucked in and now you're like
fully invested with us in this,what's something surprising or
(03:16):
cool or fun that that's happenedover the past year, that you've
learned or that you appreciate?
Megan (03:21):
um, I mean, I always, always enjoy like hearing this,
like from the topic-wise, Ialways enjoy listening to
Jimmy's stories and like littletidbits of information.
I've definitely gathered a lotof just facts throughout this
process.
Okay, no, no, but in a good way.
In a good way Like, I'mlearning a lot, which I
(03:42):
appreciate, but from like theyou know more production side of
things, I've learned a lot oflike different tidbits and
things about recording,especially when I go back and
edit, I can listen and hear,learning all the different
(04:02):
settings of it and being likefinding ways that it works
better, um, like which rooms arethe best, like give us the best
quality of sound, um, and otherthings that like have effects
on how we record.
And just, I feel like ourquality of podcast has changed a
lot from that first episode towhere we are now and like seeing
(04:22):
all the different things andlearning like the different, um,
oh, what's it called?
But like the programs on thecomputer for like editing and
the software that we use toupload and all of the different
aspects of that has beenfascinating I love that.
Jenny (04:38):
That makes me so happy.
I love, and I agree, learning.
All that stuff has been superinteresting yeah.
Megan (04:45):
Even though I am of the technical generation, I am not a
technical person Liketechnology scares me a little
bit.
So this has definitely been apush for me to learn and it's
been good.
Jenny (04:57):
But you've been doing great.
You've been super open to it.
So, I very much appreciate that, because I don't have to do it
all myself and you've taught mestuff too.
Jimmy (05:08):
Okay, so who's next?
You.
Jenny (05:10):
Me next.
Yes, okay, surprising andreally cool for me is that,
regardless of how many downloadsit shows and you can't really
see how many people arelistening like overall,
depending on how people play itlike we can't see that and
downloads are different fromlistens.
(05:30):
So hearing from mostly jimmy oranybody else on our team, the
instructors or chris or whoeverthat people have listened or
download or that they listenregularly or whatever it is,
it's just, it's really cool andit feels so good because we're
there's actually people outthere listening to us and um
(05:52):
learning something from ourconversations, and we're not
just sitting here talking into amicrophone for no reason at all
.
So that is the coolest thing forme every time I hear that.
So, whether it's me or one ofour instructors, or Jimmy or
Chris or Monica anybody, if youlisten to our podcast, we love
hearing that you listen, sodon't hesitate to speak up.
Jimmy (06:14):
Good vibes, only no even if you have some, you know a
critique.
You know we can't learn andgrow if we're not learning or
hearing those things.
So obviously that helps.
Jenny (06:28):
Um, just do it nicely right, please don't hurt our
feelings, but we want to hearfrom you yeah, for sure, for
sure okay, so your your turn somy, my turn as the host.
Jimmy (06:41):
What so?
What's a fun fact or a favoriteSomething for me?
Jenny (06:48):
huh, Something that's been awesome, something that
makes you feel good about thepodcast.
Jimmy (06:54):
So definitely the positive feedback when people
tell us that they listen to itand seeing the downloads, it's
pretty cool, it's pretty crazy.
I talk a lot so it's hard forme to kind of think about those
stuff, because I just talk and Ijust talk and just so much
(07:25):
stuff happens.
So I just assume people justlisten to me all the time or
don't listen to me all the time.
So when I see people do that,it's pretty wild.
Um I it's amazing to me howmuch I enjoy doing this
sometimes like sometimes this islike super fun.
I kind of look forward to itbecause I know I'm going to
laugh.
Megan's going to say something,jenny's going to say something,
(07:47):
or I'm going to say somethingand I'm going to catch Megan off
guard and she's going to giggleuntil she turns red and can't
breathe.
Megan (07:54):
That is true, that does happen.
Jimmy (07:55):
Basically almost has an asthma attack on me the tears.
Megan (07:59):
Don't forget the tears.
I cry when I laugh.
Jimmy (08:01):
We get a lot of good tears too, and I guess I don't
know how much Megan cuts out,but for the longest time we
could never figure out when tostart the podcast.
That's true.
So I think for the first gosh.
(08:22):
At least six or seven months.
Six or seven months at least.
Megan (08:26):
It was an unfortunately long amount of time before we
figured it out.
Jimmy (08:30):
And then we started to like I don't know, I guess for
me I started anticipating whenshe would start the button and I
would look and I I go, did youdo it?
Yes, then we just giggle forfive or ten minutes and have to
cut it out, or sometimes wewould.
Megan (08:49):
Yeah, that so that's a fun one that's solidly like the
first 30 episodes that we hadall started with you like
giggling through the introbecause we just couldn't get it
right, at least at least sothat's kind of a fun behind the
scenes fun thing for me.
Jimmy (09:06):
Um I also found out that I don't like talking to myself.
So the ones this podcast ofjust me, maybe they have good
content, I don't know, um, butthey're really hard, really hard
, um, and those are the ones Iprobably script out the most,
(09:28):
cause I know it's just going tobe me.
There's some talking points,but those ones are really hard,
really hard.
Um.
Oh, and that was the secondquestion on our script here,
what ended up being way harderthan you expected over this
first year of making the podcast.
So that for me so I'm justgoing to keep going, because
(09:49):
that's what I do is I talk a lot.
Jenny (09:51):
Perfect, though you will just write into the next
question.
Jimmy (09:53):
We're good to go.
So being by myself doing apodcast was really really hard.
So being by myself doing apodcast was really really hard.
And sometimes doing a podcastin general it's hard because we
have to come up with new ideasall the time and I have to be
(10:15):
excited to talk about it.
And I've noticed that there'ssome things I just don't like
talking about anymore.
Or I talk about them a lot inclass or I just talk about them
at home or whatever it is, and Ijust go.
I don't want to talk about that, and megan and I will stare at
each other for 30 minutes or soand like, are we gonna start or
not start, and are we talkingabout this or that?
(10:38):
And I know we've had to startand stop a couple times.
I was like wait, I thought wewere talking about this or that.
And I know we've had to startand stop a couple times.
I was like wait, I thought wewere talking about this.
Megan's like no, we weretalking about that.
I was like oh shoot, we got toall right.
So that's been kind of hard.
That's been kind of hard for me.
I don't know.
I'm going to open it up to you,to you gals, what do you think?
Jenny (10:57):
First.
You want to go first, Megan?
Megan (10:58):
Go ahead, we'll go in first order.
Jenny (11:01):
Well, we were talking about this today, actually off
the podcast.
The hardest thing for mesometimes is getting it posted
and all of the little detailsthat go into actually getting
the podcast up, so getting itready to publish.
Megan does a lot of that.
But getting it in, getting thedescriptions done, getting it
(11:25):
posted, getting the social medianotices up, all that kind of
stuff, you think, oh, it's soeasy and I'm just going to do it
.
And I still think that waysometimes and then I sit down to
do it and it takes me a littlelonger than I planned.
Or I end up doing it late atnight because I'm behind, so
that portion of it has been alittle bit more difficult than I
thought.
Or I end up doing it late atnight because I'm behind, so
that portion of it has been alittle bit more difficult than I
thought it would be, but mostlyjust in the, the planning.
(11:47):
So maybe I just need to getbetter at planning and getting
it done.
Megan (11:51):
There's a lot of work that goes into the behind the
scenes of a podcast that, likeyou, don't think about until
you're doing it, you're like ohmy god, there's another.
Jenny (11:59):
Right, and they're not necessarily hard steps once you
know them.
There's a lot of them.
Megan (12:03):
Yeah, there's just a lot of small steps and they just add
together to be a lot.
Jenny (12:07):
Yeah, so cheers to us for doing this for a year, a whole
year.
I'm super impressed with us.
Actually, cheers.
Jimmy (12:18):
We're actually cheersing our water cups.
Well, my water, I have water.
Oh, jenny has water.
I have tea.
Jenny (12:25):
Flavored water yeah.
Megan (12:27):
Flavored hot water Right Right.
Jimmy (12:30):
Oh, I mean good All right .
Jenny (12:33):
So, Megan, how about you?
What's been the?
Megan (12:35):
hard thing, probably the behind the scenes also, just
like getting it done of.
You know I don't like listeningto myself talk.
Jimmy (12:43):
As much as I do talk, I don't like listening to it.
Megan (12:46):
So the editing process of like getting myself to sit down
and be like all right, just getthrough it.
Don't focus on your voice,Don't nitpick everything.
Jenny (12:54):
Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, definitely Don't nitpick.
Just, you know, make sureyou're not doing anything
completely egregious.
Yeah, yeah, and put it outthere and thank you all for
listening again.
Jimmy (13:07):
Yeah, yeah, that's awesome.
That's awesome.
All right, let's get into the.
Would you rather?
What do you think?
Jenny (13:14):
Yeah, let's do the fun stuff.
Jimmy (13:16):
All right.
Megan (13:18):
I'm ready.
All righty, let's start withyou, jenny.
Jenny (13:20):
Me first.
Megan (13:21):
Would you rather have a siren go off every time you
enter a room or have to narrateeverything you do in a dramatic
movie voice?
Jenny (13:30):
I think, if I like, I have to do the narration myself.
Yes, I think that's way toomany words.
My little brain would just stopfunctioning.
Yeah, I think that would bedifficult.
So I think I would go with thealarm and and I would probably
just roll with it and likestrike a pose every time, like I
(13:51):
am here people, and then itwould be quiet again, cause I
appreciate my quiet.
Yes, fair, fair, um, Iappreciate my quiet.
Yes.
Megan (14:02):
Fair, fair.
Would you rather have an AEDthat randomly plays stand-up
comedy clips or a trauma kitthat sings pirate songs when
opened?
Jenny (14:10):
Oh, stand-up comedy clips , that would be fantastic.
Maybe not the appropriate timeto laugh, but I think that would
be way better.
Megan (14:21):
I like it.
And then last one would yourather be the only person with
first aid skills during a zombieapocalypse or during a citywide
blackout?
Jenny (14:31):
Oh, I don't think I want anything to do with a zombie
apocalypse and I have no problembeing in the dark, so I yeah.
It would be difficult and ahuge pain in the ass, but
there's only one of me, so Iwould do my best.
Megan (14:44):
I like it.
Yeah, alrighty, let's bring inthe rest of our team All right,
well, wait a minute.
Jimmy (14:51):
I got a question.
Megan (14:52):
Okay.
Jimmy (14:55):
But you're.
You don't like to run, butyou're faster than zombies.
Jenny (14:59):
True.
Jimmy (15:00):
So you'd be okay.
Right, but I'm the only onewith like first aid skills yeah,
but I still don't want anythingto do with zombies, and it's
not necessarily about likewhat's around All right Fair.
Jenny (15:11):
I don't want one of those little creepers sneaking up on
me Like I like my sleep.
I want to be able to sleep atnight.
I don't have to be on guard.
I don't want anything to dowith zombies.
All right, fair enough.
Fair enough, so it doesn't haveanything to do with the skills,
it's just the zombies.
Jimmy (15:25):
Yeah, fair enough.
Fair enough, and Jenny knowsthis, but a lot of other people
don't know this.
I read a lot of zombieapocalypse books, so I'm like
wait, what are we talking aboutright now?
Because I'm all in for a zombieapocalypse.
Jenny (15:39):
It's a good thing you're on my team then because, right,
right, I'll just hold down thefort and you can go out into the
zombie land All right, jimmy isfor sure my first call if I
ever run into a zombie.
Jimmy (15:54):
Yeah.
Megan (15:54):
Oh my God, not even 911.
It's Jimmy.
Jenny (15:57):
It's Jimmy, your phone's going to be ringing off the hook
.
Jimmy (16:00):
Right.
Hopefully there's cell serviceand there may not be if their
power's out.
Jenny (16:07):
So you never know.
You never know, no, I like it.
Jimmy (16:11):
Oh yeah, awesome, awesome all righty.
Megan (16:14):
Now we have the rest of our, our little motley motley
crew.
What's our?
Jimmy (16:19):
motley crew of life safety employees teammates all
of the things.
Yes, there's the red face andthe cry tears with the giggles.
That's our, you know podcastlore there.
Megan (16:33):
It wouldn't be an anniversary episode if I didn't
have tears Right.
Jimmy (16:36):
Aw, so all right, we're going to start with Monica.
Monica (16:43):
Yeah, you.
Jimmy (16:44):
So would you rather?
Megan (16:47):
Would you rather have a siren go off every time you
enter a room or narrateeverything you do in a dramatic
movie voice?
Monica (16:55):
Ooh, I'd rather have a siren go off.
Jenny (16:57):
I said the same thing.
Jimmy (17:00):
I want to be all dramatic yeah, but it'd be so like every
room, though, like it's just,or like maybe I've heard too
many sirens in my life and Ijust like I'm over it I guess
it'd be fun to do.
Monica (17:16):
I mean, would it just be a different voice you know you
would have to do your own movievoice.
Jimmy (17:20):
It's like now.
Now that I've entered the room,what am I looking for?
Do I need to pick up the light?
Monica (17:25):
I think my movie voice is appropriate.
The siren would help us to knowwhen Monica comes in the room
so we can leave there.
You go, see, but then I don'twant to creep in and not let
everybody know I'm here.
Jenny (17:42):
Now I think it's Chris's turn to answer the same question
.
Jimmy (17:49):
Well, mr Garcia, I'd probably do the narration, just
so it can match the voices in myhead anyways.
Monica (17:55):
That's why you talk so much.
That explains it.
Jimmy (17:59):
Oh my gosh, okay, next question.
Megan (18:01):
We'll start with Chris this time.
Chris, would you rather have anAED that randomly plays
stand-up comedy clips, or atrauma kit that sings pirate
songs when opened and there goesthe voices.
Jenny (18:14):
And there's silence, silence.
Are the voices in your headtalking to you?
Monica (18:19):
I'm trying to determine if they're comedy or pirates.
Well, I wouldn't use the AEDtoo much, but I use the trauma a
lot more, so probably thepirate stuff.
Megan (18:28):
Okay, what about?
Monica (18:29):
you, Monica Yar Hmm.
Jenny (18:33):
Every time you open up an AED to check it at a client
site.
Monica (18:37):
Well, it depends, because some clients it's just
one it can deal with and someclients it would be like 30.
Jimmy (18:44):
No thanks, instead of comedy.
You know, you just get like agood joke every time you open it
.
Actually, that, but then itwould take me longer it takes
her long enough to do the sitesanyways how long is the joke
going to be?
Monica (18:55):
what if it's a dad joke?
What?
Jimmy (18:56):
if we put.
Jenny (18:56):
Jimmy's voice.
I don't even enough to do thesites anyways.
How long is the joke?
Monica (18:59):
going to be.
It's a dad joke.
That would be fun.
I don't need to hear.
Jimmy (19:02):
Jimmy's voice every day.
I'm okay with that.
Jenny (19:04):
No thanks, jimmy doesn't need to hear Jimmy's voice every
day.
Oh my gosh, that was awesome.
Megan (19:11):
Is there one more yes, starting back with you.
Monica, would you rather be theonly person with first aid
skills during a zombieapocalypse or during a citywide
blackout?
Monica (19:24):
The only person.
Jimmy (19:26):
With first aid skills.
Monica (19:30):
That's a good one.
I don't know Zombies.
They come fast even thoughthey're supposed to be zombies.
So I don't know.
You never know.
Every movie is different.
Sometimes they're fast,sometimes they're slow.
Jenny (19:36):
I don't know zombies.
They come fast, even thoughthey're supposed to be zombies.
Monica (19:38):
So I don't know.
You never know every movie isdifferent.
Sometimes they're fastsometimes they're slow, I don't
know.
They played the zombie games.
They come fast, probablyBlackout.
Yes, yeah, blackout for sure,what about you?
Chris, definitely the zombiesprobably less work because most
people are dead they're alreadyzombies right blackout.
(20:00):
You can choose to pick and findwho you want to find and it
just means there's no light.
Jenny (20:05):
It doesn't mean that there's necessarily anything
wrong with anybody maybe onceeveryone's happy in their house.
There you go, waiting for thelights to come back on yeah,
playing cards by candlelight arethere zombies in the house?
Jimmy (20:16):
Because the lights are off and we don't know what's
going on in other people'shouses.
We're staying inside.
Jenny (20:21):
Again blackout.
Monica (20:23):
There's no zombies.
My first aid skills in thezombie thing would be pretty
much double tap.
Jimmy (20:30):
Fact Rule number two Jimmy knows.
So we already put this outthere that I read way too many
zombie apocalypse survival booksand I've watched way too many
zombie movies, so, oh my gosh,okay, thank you, chris.
(20:50):
Thank you, monica, for playingalong on our anniversary episode
.
Yeah, thank you both.
All right, so now we're goingto do Miguel's.
Would you Rather?
Megan (21:00):
Well, this is for all three of us instructors, All
right.
So we got Miguel, Jimmy and you, All right.
Would you rather do a fullemergency drill in 100-degree
heat or in freezing cold weather?
Jimmy (21:15):
Go ahead, miguel, you can answer first.
I think, freezing cold weather.
I prefer the cold over the heatany day.
Megan (21:23):
Yeah, I agree, I'm a cold weather girlie.
Jimmy (21:28):
Just to be contrarian, I'm going to say the heat we're
also firefighters, so you'reused to dealing with heat.
Megan (21:34):
no, the heat doesn't bother me.
Yeah, not even a little bit.
Jimmy (21:35):
And I think so.
You're used to dealing withheat.
No, the heat doesn't bother me.
Yeah, not even a little bit,and I think so.
Actually I might change myanswer because I'm going to say
cold, because then I can tellthe people we're doing the
emergency drill with to put morewarm clothes on.
Megan (21:50):
I can't tell them to take clothes off or to cool off, and
I think there would be lesscomplaining from over doing the
drills with if there's, if it's,cold out yeah that's true so
I'm going cold but if it's justme, I'd do the heat and I also
feel like in the middle of adrill you're doing movements and
like active, so that's going tohelp warm you up yeah so I'd
(22:13):
I'd rather start off cold.
Jimmy (22:15):
All right, fair enough.
Megan (22:16):
Okay, starting off with Jimmy.
Jimmy, would you rather onlyteach CPR using sock puppets or
only teach using an interpretivedance?
Jimmy (22:26):
I can't even say it without laughing Interpretive
dance or sock puppets doing CPR.
Yeah, do I get to make the sockpuppets?
Megan (22:38):
Yes, get to is not the term I thought you would use.
Jimmy (22:43):
I thought, you would be like, do I have to?
No, I get to design themAnatomically correct, or yeah,
is somebody teaching me theinterpretive dance?
Or do I get to interpret everytime I do CPR?
Megan (23:01):
you are, it's all you it's all me every time.
Jimmy (23:09):
I'm just thinking about all the cool dances I can do at
100 beats a minute.
I'll be jiggling all day.
I'm in it's dance.
Jenny (23:18):
I'm dancing.
That is not what I expectedyour answer to be.
No, I did.
Monica (23:24):
Have you seen him?
Dj?
Just saying, I'm dancing.
Megan (23:31):
What about you, Miguel?
Jimmy (23:32):
Well, on further record sock puppets are creepy.
Yeah, no, I'd go sock puppets.
I don't know about the wholedancing and the whole jiggling
part.
Nah, not happening.
It's because you're a creepydude, keep going.
Megan (23:49):
And I think I have to go interpretive dance, considering
I'm a dance major, right.
Jimmy (23:53):
Yeah.
Megan (23:56):
And then last one.
I'll start it off.
Would you rather teach a CPRclass where every student
interrupts with weird facts, orone where nobody says a single
word?
And having had taught both ofthose types of classes, I prefer
the more talkative ones.
Even if they're weird factsthat have like no bearing on the
class, at least they're talking.
It really sucks, just like liketalking to an empty room of
(24:18):
just glazed over eyes staring atyou.
I don't like it.
I'd rather have weird facts.
Jimmy (24:25):
And then I get weird facts, alright.
Cool, cool.
Alright, miguel, what do youthink?
I agree with that, I'd rather gowith the weird facts.
Sometimes those weird factsmake sense, sometimes they don't
.
It just makes the class moreinteresting, gets people more
(24:46):
involved and everyone's just allquiet.
Yeah.
Monica (24:50):
Everyone's just staring at you.
Megan (24:53):
Okay, what about you?
Jimmy (24:57):
Well, I'm a Gemini, so I like both of those answers.
So it depends on which mood I'min that day.
Which way the wind's blowing.
That explains it.
It is right.
So if it's the people juststaring, at me.
I can usually make a joke, I canprobably do something and break
them out of that, and I kind oflike that challenge, whereas
(25:23):
that's a little bit easierversus people just talking over
me.
You know, like what's aninterrupting cow say, moo, right
, like that bugs me, and then Iget grumpy and then it's hard
for me to stay positive and keepthe class positive right.
So I, I like the challenge, Ithink, of people being quiet.
Um, there are certain classes,though, like groups of classes
(25:48):
of people that are my friends,so to speak, and if they want to
do the interrupting cow thing,cool, I'm gonna let them talk.
They pay me anyways.
Um, but that's not what we do,right?
So that's hard for me.
Um, I don't, so I don't have aroad to.
(26:09):
Rather, on that one, I likeboth of those.
I like one for the challenge, Ilike one for the, the
camaraderie ship, if you will,and, to your point, I like to
learn things too, you know, um,yeah, and it's easier for me to
say let's get going versus shutup.
(26:30):
You're talking too much rightCause it's let's get going
versus shut up.
You're talking too much RightBecause there's no tackle way to
do that.
Yeah, right, so yeah that's myGemini Both sides of the coin in
that one, both sides of thesword.
Yeah for sure, yeah.
That was a good one I liked it,I liked it and just for the
record, I would rather do usethe AED.
That tells me a stand-up comedything that's going to break the
(26:54):
monotony of somebody doing CPR.
Monica (26:57):
Fair, fair.
Megan (26:58):
I like it, I agree with them.
Monica (27:00):
And I think but it might not have the cadence, though
that's okay.
Jimmy (27:03):
That's okay and I think, probably being the only person
in this room that's actuallydone CPR on a person, it's kind
of nice to break that up,because there's lots of tension,
I'm sure lots of tensions tohave somebody come up and be
like I don't know, insert joke.
You know, here it'd probably bekind of nice, you know, kind of
(27:25):
break the tension.
You know it's like that tensionyell thing.
Somebody had to do it.
It felt weird, right, all right, well, from the Life Safety
family to you all.
