Valentine’s Day is all about love, but sometimes romance comes with unexpected risks. Whether it’s restaurant mishaps, allergic reactions to that fancy dinner, or a surprise proposal that takes a turn for the worse, we’re touching on some safety hazards you might not think about -- until they happen.
We’re sharing some of our own Valentine’s Day stories, including Jimmy’s unforgettable run-in with a giant orange gorilla (trust us, you’ll want to hear this one - it's tots-adorbs). Plus, we have some practical safety tips for you for date nights, gift-giving, and even the workplace -- because nothing says "romantic fail" like an office fire from an ill-placed candle.
Tune in for some true stories, humor, and of course our usual safety tips, to help you have a fun, stress-free, and disaster-proof Valentine's Day!

good thanks makes all right.
Jimmy (00:41):
So valentine's day is just right around the corner.
This is going to hopefully dropa couple days before
Valentine's Day, so we'll startwith some personal antidotes,
some stories about Valentine'sDay, and then we'll kind of get
into some safety stuff.
So we'll try to combine themboth today.
Now I'll start off with one ofmy favorite Valentine's things,
(01:09):
and that was when our son,jameson, was little.
The guy that's been on heretwice and said six words in two
podcasts Matter of few words, heis a big baseball guy.
If you know us, you know this.
And the local San Jose Giantswere doing a promotion for
(01:30):
Valentine's Day where, if youbought X amount of tickets,
gigante, their mascot, wouldbring the tickets and a box of
chocolates, I believe anddeliver them to them in person.
And we were like, yes, what acool thing.
(01:50):
It's like 15 bucks or something.
We can make this happen.
So we get to the school, we'regoing to pick up Jameson and
Georgia from elementary school,and the people from the San Jose
Giants calls us and says, hey,is there someplace close by we
(02:11):
can meet at?
We just got bombarded with abunch of kids at another
elementary school and we werethere for almost an hour.
We need to finish, we have someother stuff going on and, uh,
can you help us out?
And we were like, absolutely,there's a park right around the
(02:34):
corner from the school and we'llmeet you there, and it was
really cool.
They showed showed up in alittle van and the lady head of
marketing gets out and she's youknow, we do the introduction
things and Jenny walks by andshe has our two kids and a
(02:56):
couple other kids that arebaseball fans and they show up
and they see Gigante, this giantorange gorilla.
Is that what he is?
Yeah, I didn't get that.
You didn't know that.
Megan (03:04):
Gigante was this giant orange gorilla.
Is that what?
Jimmy (03:05):
he is.
Megan (03:06):
Yeah, I didn't get that.
Jimmy (03:07):
You didn't know that Gigante was a gorilla.
Megan (03:09):
I did not, and I also thought it was pronounced
Higante.
Jimmy (03:13):
Well, it probably is In some parts of San Jose it
probably is Higante, I cannotsay it like that.
Well, you just did, you prettymuch did.
Megan (03:23):
Did I say it okay?
Yeah, you said it good.
Jimmy (03:27):
All right, he got that yeah.
Megan (03:28):
I was picturing like a bright orange monster type thing
, I guess in hindsight lookingback, yeah, that is a
monkey-esque creature, but itjust kind of looked like bright
orange fur to me how many timeshave you seen him?
I used to live right down thestreet from the San Jose Giants
where they play, so I would gooften enough.
They had the free tickets atthe checkout counter at grocery
(03:53):
stores and I would be like, hey,anybody doing anything, let's
go Nice.
I ended up in the nosebleeds,but it was fun.
Jimmy (03:59):
Yeah, it's a great time.
Megan (04:00):
They had the apple juice batter in the 9th inning or 7th
inning or whatever.
Jimmy (04:05):
Well, it was a beer batter.
And then they change it becausethey can't sell alcohol the
whole game and they turn it intothe apple juice.
And then Martinelli's alwayssponsors that run the races
afterwards.
The kids love doing that too.
Yeah, so we get there and itstarts off with about six kids
(04:28):
and then he gets mobbed.
People see him because they'reall these kids are walking home
from school in this neighborhoodpark and he gets mobbed.
About 30 kids, legit, show upand they're like bah, gigante,
and it's like it's a thing wekind of I don't remember how I
(04:50):
got disengaged.
The lady from marketing kind ofsaid yeah, cool, we're leaving.
We start walking back andGigante starts snapping his feet
and smacking his hands and weturn around and he waves us over
and he actually walks us backinto the park and he takes
pictures with the kids and heclimbs into a tree with the kids
(05:11):
and he just makes this totalspecial moment for our kids.
It was so cool.
And Jameson looks up and hesees the ladies' World Series
ring and he's obviously a giantsfan and he goes is that the new
world series ring?
And he goes and she goes yeah,do you want to wear it?
(05:34):
And he goes like, yeah, so hegot to put on the uh world
series ring and yeah, and it'slike a real World Series ring
and yeah, and it's like a realWorld Series ring, you know,
with all the diamonds and stufflike that.
Megan (05:49):
I'm like please don't drop that dude.
Please don't lose that.
Jimmy (05:53):
You know she's like it's okay.
I've dropped it twice alreadyand I'm like, oh my god, oh, wow
, yeah she's like I don't knowthat I'd ever wear that out of
Ever.
Megan (06:01):
Yeah, I don't know that I'd ever wear that out of ever.
Jimmy (06:03):
Yeah, it was wild and that thing blinged and it was
pretty crazy.
It was wild.
So that was kind of one of myfavorite Valentine's Day things.
You know, there was obviouslyJenny and I have had some really
good Valentine's Day stuff.
We've got some cool trips,things like that, but I just
(06:23):
thought that was a really coolone I'd like to share with our
life safety team out there.
Anybody else want to sharetheir life Valentine's Day story
?
If not, we'll get into oursafety.
I don't have any good ones.
Unfortunately, yeah, yeah.
Megan (06:39):
I'm doing a Galentine's Day thing with my friends.
We're going to decoratecupcakes or cookies or something
.
Jimmy (06:45):
Yeah.
Megan (06:45):
Little themed cocktails or whatever.
Jimmy (06:47):
Nice, I actually just got it.
You told me you were going todo a Galentine thing earlier and
I just got the gal thing Justthis moment.
Yeah, that makes sense.
She said it and I didn't catchit, so you just said it again.
Yeah, I'm not the only one, butyou know, expect that from you
though.
Megan (07:08):
Thanks Julie, very kind, very kind.
Jimmy (07:12):
Thanks.
Megan (07:12):
Let's talk about some things to be on the lookout for.
So to speak.
Jimmy (07:16):
Yeah, let's talk about some safety things.
So the first thing I alwaystalk about that people kind of
forget super big uh presentchocolates, right, everybody
likes to get those heart-shapedchocolate boxes.
Um, I just like gettingchocolate because, well, I'm a
big guy, it's chocolate, it'sgood times.
Um, but the one our furryfriends do not like chocolate.
(07:41):
So just, you know, let's putthat out there again.
I know most of us know this,but you know, make sure the our
four-legged friends don't eatthe chocolate same thing with
flowers roses are dangerous forcats and lilies and those type
of things.
Megan (07:52):
So if you have a furry friend at home and you're
getting flowers, make sure thatif you get flowers that are
dangerous for the creature thatyou have at home, make sure that
it's not where they can get itand they're not going to snack
on it Good point.
Jimmy (08:06):
Good point.
Isn't pincettias also not goodfor cats?
Megan (08:10):
Yes, but that's typically a Christmas thing.
Jimmy (08:12):
Yeah, I just found that out.
Megan (08:13):
Yeah.
Jimmy (08:14):
Yeah.
Megan (08:15):
My high school always did a poinsettia fundraiser thing
and I could never get onebecause I was scared of killing
my cat.
And we had a bunch ofneighborhood cats where I lived
in high school.
That would come on the porch sowe couldn't even leave it on
the porch outside.
Yeah, our poinsettia is for me.
Jimmy (08:36):
Alright, then that's a good point.
Yeah, I was just thinking,because Jenny put our poinsettia
basically behind our fireplaceprotector because the cat
doesn't go in there.
That's why I just realized thatI didn't ask questions earlier.
(08:56):
I just accepted it.
Megan (08:59):
She didn't care apparently.
Jimmy (09:03):
I don't question things, I just go with it when it comes
to the house and the wife.
With that being said said,let's talk about some restaurant
things that you may encounter.
Right, obviously it's a bigthing to go on on dates.
Uh, hopefully you all got yourrest reservations done already.
You're there, you're having agood time, you're enjoying your
(09:25):
day and your date.
You know, you see somebodyacross the aisle and you, you,
you look into some distress andthey're coughing a lot.
It's okay to look over.
You don't have to be mindingyour business the whole time.
You can be a little bit nosy,just because if they stop
coughing they're truly chokingand they're going to need
intervention.
At least calling 911, at leasthelping out.
(09:47):
But, yeah, you're going to haveto do something.
Uh, again, very least call 911.
Um, you know, get some help,raise some attention.
Hopefully somebody in theweight staff or somebody else
there knows how to do theabdominal thrust, the Heimlich
maneuver to you know, to helpthat person out.
(10:10):
Again, just real quick signsSomebody distressed, their
mouth's open, maybe they get up,they're grabbing their throat,
patting their chest, somebody'spatting their back, maybe, and
maybe the person runs to thebathroom and the person could be
choking, they could intervene.
And person could be choking,you can intervene um do you?
(10:34):
not do any grades, anatomy stuffor er stuff, right?
Um no, no, steak match to thethroat.
You're gonna go to jail if youdo that.
Um, so just be real carefulwith that.
But some other safety thingshere I'm gonna let uh, we kind
of brainstormed a little bit andmegan wrote them down, so I'll
let her tell you one and we'lltalk about it.
Megan (10:50):
Um, some other good ones.
We looked up, you know,Valentine's safety things and
the Lakewood police actually hadsome really good safety tips
that they wanted to find out.
Um, you know, don't announceyour plans on social media If
you're going to be leaving thehouse or going out or going on
vacation.
Um, cause that, just you know,invites unwanted people who
might want to steal your things.
Jimmy (11:10):
Unwanted guests.
Megan (11:11):
Unwanted guests.
They'll they'll know thatyou're not home.
Jimmy (11:13):
Yeah.
Megan (11:15):
Um, same thing for, like, wait to post pictures.
Like if you're out at a reallynice restaurant, like don't post
the pictures until the next day, or you're home, because if
you're posting pictures, be like.
This is where I am at thisexact moment.
Once again, the people knowthat you're not home.
Limit how much cash you carry.
You know A being robbed, but Balso just forgetting your purse.
The amount of times that I haveleft my purse at a location is
(11:36):
embarrassing, but yeah.
Jimmy (11:39):
For sure, I've put my wallet down to pay and walked
away.
Yeah, you know, definitely notthe business.
Megan (11:45):
So luckily a bunch of places have the, you know,
contactless payment or theyaccept some sort of credit,
debit card etc.
So limiting your cash that youcarry on you is good.
If you're going to be walkinghome or walking anywhere, really
make sure that it's in awell-lit, well-lit Goodness
gracious.
Jimmy (12:03):
Lit.
Megan (12:04):
Well-lit and well-trafficked area.
Jimmy (12:06):
You just got lit up.
Thank you, I appreciate that.
Megan (12:09):
I appreciate that, I appreciate that, but yeah, make
sure that.
Jimmy (12:14):
Just for the record.
That was all for you.
Suits fans out there, oh wow.
Megan (12:20):
But yeah, so well-lit and well-trafficked areas,
especially if you're walkingalone, just make sure you're
taking care of yourself.
You know, make good decisions,no dark alleys alone.
Jimmy (12:34):
Yep.
Megan (12:35):
Even if you're a scrappy fighter like me.
Jimmy (12:38):
Yes.
Megan (12:39):
Just make good decisions.
Don't put yourself in adangerous place.
Alrighty, we have reached thepoint in our podcast where, if
you are at work or have smallchildren, turn this off.
Jimmy (12:52):
Is this the not safe for work section?
Megan (12:54):
Yes, yes.
Jimmy (12:55):
All right, we may be.
At this point we are forward.
We might be using some explicitlanguage Topics, explicit
topics, things like that.
All right.
Obviously, valentine's Day goesalong with sexy time and, you
know, adult activities, so itdoes happen.
(13:18):
I've actually responded to abroken penis.
Megan (13:27):
It must have been very exciting for you.
Jimmy (13:30):
Not as exciting as it was for him no pun intended.
No pun intended is right.
Him and his partner wereengaged in a sexy time, having a
good time, very good time,apparently.
It was rigorous and she reachedup and grabbed.
It was a swing.
(13:52):
And she reached up and grabbedher swing and pulled herself up
and went to drop herself backdown on her partner and the
partner's members fell out andshe landed on him.
He landed on him and itbasically landed in her.
The way she described it was inher butt hip is what she said
(14:17):
and we were like what's a butthip?
And it landed on her in betweenher cheek, basically in her hip
joint, and he was broke and helooked like it was a left turn
it was a right angled or leftangled, depending on which angle
you were looking at it from and, um, very discolored yeah right
(14:41):
.
So we appreciated that theycalled 9-1-1.
It was on the fire engine andthere's not a lot we can do for
that.
The captain suggested we splintit and I said with what?
And he said good call, I don'tknow either.
(15:03):
And we basically put the sheetover him and waited for the
ambulance to get there.
And then, when the ambulancegot there, ambulance to get
there.
And then when the ambulance gotthere, uh, the poor poor patient
, uh two female engine orparamedic crew and I mean, and
(15:25):
yeah, it was bad.
One of them was like actuallykind of golf clapped.
It was like I'm impressed withyour member and uh, I'm glad
you're and I'm impressed thatyou're able to even do this.
And I was like, oh, I don'tthink he's really pumped right
now to hear that.
So, um, yeah, not the business.
(15:48):
So we kind of figured out, likethey figured out and what to do
and to kind of splint it andkind of keep them comfortable.
Usually when you splint bonesyou don't really splint muscle,
right, and it was a torn muscleand it discolored like a pulled
hammy lack of a better word or away to think about it and he
(16:12):
just he was just not comfortableobviously.
And we try to figure out whatto do, and I think they used a
it was a toilet paper roll, Ibelieve and they took the
cardboard and they put it aroundthem with the toilet paper on
there, and I can't remember ifit was a toilet paper roll or if
(16:34):
it was a paper towel roll, butthey used something like that
and they used the stiffness ofthe cardboard to hold them
comfortably.
And the guy actually walked upand sat on a gurney and they
rolled them out.
So you know, just be conscious,have as much fun as you
possibly can, be conscious ofyour partner.
(16:56):
In the same vein of stories,another couple were having sexy
time and the male fell out andwent to reinsert and did so too
(17:17):
vigorously and actually rippedthe lady's perineum.
Megan (17:23):
Ow Ow.
Jimmy (17:24):
So her tween spot got ripped and that was not good and
it bled a lot.
And we got there and luckilythe ambulance had beaten us
there one of the rare times andthere was a male and female
partner crew on that one and themale came out and was like you
(17:45):
guys don't want to see this.
We got this, we're good.
And we're like well, where'syou know?
So-and-so, so.
And he's like she's in therewith the patient and we were
like, well, what's the patientlike what's going on?
He's like I'll tell you guyslater and you know, so I didn't
get to see it, I didn't get youknow, but that's, that was the
gist of it and basically thepatient had to just hold
(18:07):
pressure and they transportedher and she got to the hospitals
because they could, andprobably a couple stitches later
she was good, um, but yeah,those are a couple sexy time
valentine's day stories that, uh, I've been to um, I haven't
been to any, but one of the likecommon tropes that I see on,
you know, like tv, medical tv orwhatever is um a heart attack
(18:31):
while in the act.
Megan (18:33):
Um, so, just, you know, a lot of times I'll see them try
to perform cpr while on the bedso, yeah, no cpr on soft
surfaces.
Jimmy (18:43):
Uh, the new guideline says it's okay to start because
you're doing so manycompressions and it's starting
to help because you're movingsocks, a little bud the blood.
The big one, though, is whenpeople have, if they take
enhancement drugs like Viagra orsomething like that, it's not a
good thing.
Yeah Well, we don't want themto take nitroglycerin pills,
(19:04):
right, because it's going tolower the blood pressure and it
will probably kill them.
So we don't want that either.
So, the older fellas out there,or not older, or older, not
older folks, I shouldn't havesaid that.
You know, um, people experimentwith things whatever.
And, uh, you know, if you takea viagra and you know you get
chest pain or heart pain and youknow, just be careful, be
(19:25):
honest, let them know that youknow you may.
Yeah, you're on that, and thatway the paramedic doesn't give
you anything.
Um, that might hurt you, right,and it's a uh awkward question
for everybody.
Definitely been there for that.
Megan (19:41):
Yep, yep but don't let your you know embarrassment stop
you from saying it, because youknow it's embarrassment or
death.
Meanwhile, you might feel likedying from the embarrassment.
It won't actually kill you,whereas contraindications will.
Jimmy (19:56):
Right, absolutely, absolutely, all right team.
Have a safe holiday Peace.
Hey, what's happening?
It's your boy, jimmy, withanother life and safety podcast.
Of course, I got Megs with me.
Megan (00:08):
Woot, woot, woot woot.
Yes.
Jimmy (00:13):
You've been listening to too much rap music, sweet.
Megan (00:16):
The sound effects.
It's exciting.
Jimmy (00:20):
Okay, then we got Miguel in the background.
Okay, and we got miguel in thebackground and we're gonna talk
about valentine's day to kind ofstay on the uh, holiday safety

Megan (06:39):
I'm doing a Galentine's Day thing with my friends.
We're going to decoratecupcakes or cookies or something
.
Jimmy (06:45):
Yeah.
Megan (06:45):
Little themed cocktails or whatever.
Jimmy (06:47):
Nice, I actually just got it.
You told me you were going todo a Galentine thing earlier and
I just got the gal thing Justthis moment.
Yeah, that makes sense.
She said it and I didn't catchit, so you just said it again.
Yeah, I'm not the only one, butyou know, expect that from you
though.
Megan (07:08):
Thanks Julie, very kind, very kind.
Jimmy (07:12):
Thanks.
Megan (07:12):
Let's talk about some things to be on the lookout for.
So to speak.
Jimmy (07:16):
Yeah, let's talk about some safety things.
So the first thing I alwaystalk about that people kind of
forget super big uh presentchocolates, right, everybody
likes to get those heart-shapedchocolate boxes.
Um, I just like gettingchocolate because, well, I'm a
big guy, it's chocolate, it'sgood times.
Um, but the one our furryfriends do not like chocolate.
(07:41):
So just, you know, let's putthat out there again.
I know most of us know this,but you know, make sure the our
four-legged friends don't eatthe chocolate same thing with
flowers roses are dangerous forcats and lilies and those type
of things.
Megan (07:52):
So if you have a furry friend at home and you're
getting flowers, make sure thatif you get flowers that are
dangerous for the creature thatyou have at home, make sure that
it's not where they can get itand they're not going to snack
on it Good point.
Jimmy (08:06):
Good point.
Isn't pincettias also not goodfor cats?
Megan (08:10):
Yes, but that's typically a Christmas thing.
Jimmy (08:12):
Yeah, I just found that out.
Megan (08:13):
Yeah.
Jimmy (08:14):
Yeah.
Megan (08:15):
My high school always did a poinsettia fundraiser thing
and I could never get onebecause I was scared of killing
my cat.
And we had a bunch ofneighborhood cats where I lived
in high school.
That would come on the porch sowe couldn't even leave it on
the porch outside.
Yeah, our poinsettia is for me.
Jimmy (08:36):
Alright, then that's a good point.
Yeah, I was just thinking,because Jenny put our poinsettia
basically behind our fireplaceprotector because the cat
doesn't go in there.
That's why I just realized thatI didn't ask questions earlier.
(08:56):
I just accepted it.
Megan (08:59):
She didn't care apparently.
Jimmy (09:03):
I don't question things, I just go with it when it comes
to the house and the wife.
With that being said said,let's talk about some restaurant
things that you may encounter.
Right, obviously it's a bigthing to go on on dates.
Uh, hopefully you all got yourrest reservations done already.
You're there, you're having agood time, you're enjoying your
(09:25):
day and your date.
You know, you see somebodyacross the aisle and you, you,
you look into some distress andthey're coughing a lot.
It's okay to look over.
You don't have to be mindingyour business the whole time.
You can be a little bit nosy,just because if they stop
coughing they're truly chokingand they're going to need
intervention.
At least calling 911, at leasthelping out.
(09:47):
But, yeah, you're going to haveto do something.
Uh, again, very least call 911.
Um, you know, get some help,raise some attention.
Hopefully somebody in theweight staff or somebody else
there knows how to do theabdominal thrust, the Heimlich
maneuver to you know, to helpthat person out.
(10:10):
Again, just real quick signsSomebody distressed, their
mouth's open, maybe they get up,they're grabbing their throat,
patting their chest, somebody'spatting their back, maybe, and
maybe the person runs to thebathroom and the person could be
choking, they could intervene.
And person could be choking,you can intervene um do you?
(10:34):
not do any grades, anatomy stuffor er stuff, right?
Um no, no, steak match to thethroat.
You're gonna go to jail if youdo that.
Um, so just be real carefulwith that.
But some other safety thingshere I'm gonna let uh, we kind
of brainstormed a little bit andmegan wrote them down, so I'll
let her tell you one and we'lltalk about it.
Megan (10:50):
Um, some other good ones.
We looked up, you know,Valentine's safety things and
the Lakewood police actually hadsome really good safety tips
that they wanted to find out.
Um, you know, don't announceyour plans on social media If
you're going to be leaving thehouse or going out or going on
vacation.
Um, cause that, just you know,invites unwanted people who
might want to steal your things.
Jimmy (11:10):
Unwanted guests.
Megan (11:11):
Unwanted guests.
They'll they'll know thatyou're not home.
Jimmy (11:13):
Yeah.
Megan (11:15):
Um, same thing for, like, wait to post pictures.
Like if you're out at a reallynice restaurant, like don't post
the pictures until the next day, or you're home, because if
you're posting pictures, be like.
This is where I am at thisexact moment.
Once again, the people knowthat you're not home.
Limit how much cash you carry.
You know A being robbed, but Balso just forgetting your purse.
The amount of times that I haveleft my purse at a location is
(11:36):
embarrassing, but yeah.
Jimmy (11:39):
For sure, I've put my wallet down to pay and walked
away.
Yeah, you know, definitely notthe business.
Megan (11:45):
So luckily a bunch of places have the, you know,
contactless payment or theyaccept some sort of credit,
debit card etc.
So limiting your cash that youcarry on you is good.
If you're going to be walkinghome or walking anywhere, really
make sure that it's in awell-lit, well-lit Goodness
gracious.
Jimmy (12:03):
Lit.
Megan (12:04):
Well-lit and well-trafficked area.
Jimmy (12:06):
You just got lit up.
Thank you, I appreciate that.
Megan (12:09):
I appreciate that, I appreciate that, but yeah, make
sure that.
Jimmy (12:14):
Just for the record.
That was all for you.
Suits fans out there, oh wow.
Megan (12:20):
But yeah, so well-lit and well-trafficked areas,
especially if you're walkingalone, just make sure you're
taking care of yourself.
You know, make good decisions,no dark alleys alone.
Jimmy (12:34):
Yep.
Megan (12:35):
Even if you're a scrappy fighter like me.
Jimmy (12:38):
Yes.
Megan (12:39):
Just make good decisions.
Don't put yourself in adangerous place.
Alrighty, we have reached thepoint in our podcast where, if
you are at work or have smallchildren, turn this off.
Jimmy (12:52):
Is this the not safe for work section?
Megan (12:54):
Yes, yes.
Jimmy (12:55):
All right, we may be.
At this point we are forward.
We might be using some explicitlanguage Topics, explicit
topics, things like that.
All right.
Obviously, valentine's Day goesalong with sexy time and, you
know, adult activities, so itdoes happen.
(13:18):
I've actually responded to abroken penis.
Megan (13:27):
It must have been very exciting for you.
Jimmy (13:30):
Not as exciting as it was for him no pun intended.
No pun intended is right.
Him and his partner wereengaged in a sexy time, having a
good time, very good time,apparently.
It was rigorous and she reachedup and grabbed.
It was a swing.
(13:52):
And she reached up and grabbedher swing and pulled herself up
and went to drop herself backdown on her partner and the
partner's members fell out andshe landed on him.
He landed on him and itbasically landed in her.
The way she described it was inher butt hip is what she said
(14:17):
and we were like what's a butthip?
And it landed on her in betweenher cheek, basically in her hip
joint, and he was broke and helooked like it was a left turn
it was a right angled or leftangled, depending on which angle
you were looking at it from and, um, very discolored yeah right
(14:41):
.
So we appreciated that theycalled 9-1-1.
It was on the fire engine andthere's not a lot we can do for
that.
The captain suggested we splintit and I said with what?
And he said good call, I don'tknow either.
(15:03):
And we basically put the sheetover him and waited for the
ambulance to get there.
And then, when the ambulancegot there, ambulance to get
there.
And then when the ambulance gotthere, uh, the poor poor patient
, uh two female engine orparamedic crew and I mean, and
(15:25):
yeah, it was bad.
One of them was like actuallykind of golf clapped.
It was like I'm impressed withyour member and uh, I'm glad
you're and I'm impressed thatyou're able to even do this.
And I was like, oh, I don'tthink he's really pumped right
now to hear that.
So, um, yeah, not the business.
(15:48):
So we kind of figured out, likethey figured out and what to do
and to kind of splint it andkind of keep them comfortable.
Usually when you splint bonesyou don't really splint muscle,
right, and it was a torn muscleand it discolored like a pulled
hammy lack of a better word or away to think about it and he
(16:12):
just he was just not comfortableobviously.
And we try to figure out whatto do, and I think they used a
it was a toilet paper roll, Ibelieve and they took the
cardboard and they put it aroundthem with the toilet paper on
there, and I can't remember ifit was a toilet paper roll or if
(16:34):
it was a paper towel roll, butthey used something like that
and they used the stiffness ofthe cardboard to hold them
comfortably.
And the guy actually walked upand sat on a gurney and they
rolled them out.
So you know, just be conscious,have as much fun as you
possibly can, be conscious ofyour partner.
(16:56):
In the same vein of stories,another couple were having sexy
time and the male fell out andwent to reinsert and did so too
(17:17):
vigorously and actually rippedthe lady's perineum.
Megan (17:23):
Ow Ow.
Jimmy (17:24):
So her tween spot got ripped and that was not good and
it bled a lot.
And we got there and luckilythe ambulance had beaten us
there one of the rare times andthere was a male and female
partner crew on that one and themale came out and was like you
(17:45):
guys don't want to see this.
We got this, we're good.
And we're like well, where'syou know?
So-and-so, so.
And he's like she's in therewith the patient and we were
like, well, what's the patientlike what's going on?
He's like I'll tell you guyslater and you know, so I didn't
get to see it, I didn't get youknow, but that's, that was the
gist of it and basically thepatient had to just hold
(18:07):
pressure and they transportedher and she got to the hospitals
because they could, andprobably a couple stitches later
she was good, um, but yeah,those are a couple sexy time
valentine's day stories that, uh, I've been to um, I haven't
been to any, but one of the likecommon tropes that I see on,
you know, like tv, medical tv orwhatever is um a heart attack
(18:31):
while in the act.
Megan (18:33):
Um, so, just, you know, a lot of times I'll see them try
to perform cpr while on the bedso, yeah, no cpr on soft
surfaces.
Jimmy (18:43):
Uh, the new guideline says it's okay to start because
you're doing so manycompressions and it's starting
to help because you're movingsocks, a little bud the blood.
The big one, though, is whenpeople have, if they take
enhancement drugs like Viagra orsomething like that, it's not a
good thing.
Yeah Well, we don't want themto take nitroglycerin pills,
(19:04):
right, because it's going tolower the blood pressure and it
will probably kill them.
So we don't want that either.
So, the older fellas out there,or not older, or older, not
older folks, I shouldn't havesaid that.
You know, um, people experimentwith things whatever.
And, uh, you know, if you takea viagra and you know you get
chest pain or heart pain and youknow, just be careful, be
(19:25):
honest, let them know that youknow you may.
Yeah, you're on that, and thatway the paramedic doesn't give
you anything.
Um, that might hurt you, right,and it's a uh awkward question
for everybody.
Definitely been there for that.
Megan (19:41):
Yep, yep but don't let your you know embarrassment stop
you from saying it, because youknow it's embarrassment or
death.
Meanwhile, you might feel likedying from the embarrassment.
It won't actually kill you,whereas contraindications will.
Jimmy (19:56):
Right, absolutely, absolutely, all right team.
Have a safe holiday Peace.
