How the First Responder Brain works

Medical personnel in general. IMHO. We're a little .... different.

The reason God made cops...even firefighters need heros!!

The Dark Humour is on point for anyone with compounded trauma tbh

The greetings center hits hard. How do you talk to ppl again?

Talk about bragging my shut up gland stops working after 3:00 p.m. everyday.

didn't know I'm a first responder

By the way, you're wrong about the banker greeting. While a lot of people believe that bankers have "normal" brains, actually our brain structure is very similar to a first responder brain, except that the love is much smaller, and the shut up gland is non-existent. But still, when an employee arrives, it is still very normal for us to look at who it is with eyes full of hope, then show complete disappointment to see them once you realise who they are, and then look at your boss and say "It's just X... Do I HAVE to let them in?" That is our version of "I'm so happy to see you today!"

Thank you for reminding me to take my daily doses of caffeine. Also my fitness instructor says I should probably drink more water, and the sky is blue, and my liver will probably shut down.

Stop me if your heard this one, guy walks into a bar, ...........well? He got an boo boo 😂😂😂

Regret Gland... HAha :)

This is just my brain 24/4, LOL. What’s bad is that I have ADD & ADHD, I’m unfiltered and I don’t think be4 I speak. In other words I’ll be like ‘Shit! Should I have said that?!’ waits 5 minutes ‘Oh well. Fuck it.’ and I just go on w/ my day as if nothing happened.

Why are the captions in Portuguese

That's why I always want to fly with a pessimistic pilot who is well versed in Murphy's law, having a good sense of his own mortality and a great morbid sense of humor! He's not going to ignore the stall warning horn, on the aircraft he just intentionally overloaded on takeoff with his last words being "it will be ok i'm sure it will start flying here sometime if I just yank back on the stick harder!" Or start screaming like a little girl when the engine quits! By the way, helicopter pilots are WAY more pessimistic than than fixed wing pilots!

My cub scout leader was a 70s 80s Houston cop. He was telling stories one of them about a suicide by shotgun while guy was sitting in a rocking chair and all the brains on the wall and his partner wanting to eat chili afterwards.

And.., y'all mama is a nurse. 🤣🤣🤣

Fun fact, every 11:59pm is still after a midnight.

am I the only one who noticed his eyes? like, I really hope bro got some sleep

Yeah ginger billy already did that and sorry but his was a little bit better

First Responder dark humour is he just saying that all First Responders are nothing more than Australian people.

My dark humor mass has tendrils reaching out and affecting every other part of my brain. I literally can’t not have a twisted af joke pop in my head about anything. And no topic is off limits after 13 years riding the boo-boo bus. Also the time control no the shut off portion of my brain failed years ago, it’s barely able to work these days.

This also works for 911 dispatchers!

shut up gland works great when you have wife and kids.

The captions are a little wack

My partner and I enjoy dark humor. Once in collage I accidentally ripped off my big toe nail while opening a heavy door. I was returning a device to an office. Well at first it hurt but I thought nothing of it. Office lady asked me if I was okay as I was limping a little. Told her I'm fine, just stubbed my toe. Returned the device. Started to get woozy and looked down. My sandal was filling with blood. I sat and she called first responders for me. I called my partner telling him he needed to pick me up. He got in shortly after the responders had started cleaning my foot. The first words out of his mouth were, "so do we need to cut it off?" The lady behind the desk looked mortified, the first responders, however, thought it was hilarious. Anyway, it's fine now, the nail grew back and I have refuse to wear sandles ever since.

This so true. I grew up with a volunteer Firefighter Dad,

You had me at coffee, and dark humor. I'm not a first responder, just former tow truck driver, military, truck driver, but yea almost the same thing.

That's true....Police officers dream of being firefighters.....The REAL heroes!....

Married 31 years to my hero, he’s been a firefighter 36 years & just retired! Love your videos!

I enjoy watching your videos so much and I could not help come back to enjoy this one again. Also I enjoy watching ACDC thunderstruck because the drummer looks like you :D

First sesponder brain,and Deckhand brain is very similar i see

Who else wants to clone this guy? 🤣

I'm not sure that dark humour gland is big enough.

I remember I wanted to be a firefighter (now retired law enforcement) back in the early 70’s. After a Marine Corps tour and some college, I had the opportunity to assist in fighting a brush fire on a hillside. It was hot and smokey but I never thought about the weight of a charged hose line since I was the one assisting. After I was relieved from my duties by a professional firefighter I returned to my car where my parents were waiting. They asked if I was alright since I was now a pretty color of purple and coughing my lungs up. That was the day I decided to change my career path from firefighting to law enforcement. Somehow chasing bad guys and getting shot at seemed better than walking into a burning building and having the floor collapse under my feet. Just sayin. You fellas in the Fire Service have all my respect and adoration. I just wish they put that stutter horn on my police car.😂

This applies to ICU nurses as well. LOLOL

Here's a dark humor every time we see an ambulance go by "who died?" or if they're at a restaurant "must have seen the bill $$$"

If I translated it correctly you guys technically love the police too because you always take the piss out of each other

Aa child of a Fireman and Police Officer... I legit never stood a chance. Now I work as an 911 Emergency Dispatcher! 🤣🤣🤣

You should slowly change the time (military) to go into night time and then slowly edit the board at the back to incorporate more of the design to be rougher as the time passes. As well as acting more under the influence of caffeine ,

The shut gland facilitates a period of reflection which enables more dark humor.

The rivalry between police and fire doesn't ever end does it?

Its funny that you said that people are police because they could never pass the fire exam. It is interesting because I am pursuing a job with my police and fire department at the airport, where upon completion I would be dual certified as a police officer and firefighter. So this shall be interesting and who knows it might be fun. But if not, at least the chairs will be comfy. Lol.

this will be my brain soon. i'm excited

So true

The regret gland! Priceless

Yup, the shut up gland works, and sometimes before the stroke of 12. The only problem is, it doesn't help you stay awake, as most of the time the moment your brain shuts up. Your body shuts off, I tell ya those 3 day 12 hour shifts, are full of nothing but struggle. 😅

If you've never flipped off a superior by using an amputated hand, you're not working right.

I remember in highschool, a paramedic came in for a guest presenter, when he talked about how the only way he was able to stay sane was when he referred to people who suffered burns as "crispy bois" and fire fatalities as "extra crispy bois"

My female coworkers always starts a constant giggle at 2am and it doesnt stop unless they fall a sleep.

you have the same voice (AND HUMOUR) as Adam Calhoun!

Why are the captions only in Portuguese? Or, wait..
Por que as legendas são apenas em português?
