🚑 Lights, Sirens & Real Sh*t
🎙️ The podcast for the ones still showing up.
EMS is beautiful and brutal. It’s sweat, diesel fumes, and emotional damage — and we keep coming back for more.
Nobody prepares you for the burnout. Nobody tells you how to process your fifth dead body in a week, how to laugh through the darkness, or how to get some damn sleep after trying to save a kid.
This is where we talk about all of it.
✅ Burnout & mental health
✅ Black humor & survival tips
✅ Real calls & stories (HIPAA-safe, of course)
✅ Side hustles & exit strategies
✅ And everything you really think at 0630 when dispatch drops another call.
No sugarcoating. No BS. Just real talk for medics, EMTs, firefighters, and anyone who’s lived this life — or wants to know what it’s really like.
Follow along and ride the rig with us.

You Can’t Make This Sh*t Up
Some calls stick with you — for all the wrong (and sometimes ridiculous) reasons. In this episode, we’re diving into the stories that remind you EMS isn’t for the faint of heart — or the weak of stomach.
From the DIY surgery guy and the naked parade, to the patient who thought a demon would attach to me — this one’s got it all. I’ll also talk about the trauma calls that harden you, the bizarre moments that make you laugh when you shouldn’t, and why detachment becomes survival in this line of work.
👉 If you’ve ever looked around mid-call and thought, “What the actual hell am I doing right now?” — this episode’s for you.
New episodes drop the first Tuesday of every month.
