Late to the game but my late father once responded to a trucker who had a heart attack rolled down an embankment into a garage, which killed him gorily. My dad, coming home and relaying the events, when I asked him if he was okay, said, “I’m a little hungry. The guy had a Twinkie on his seat but I figured it’d be bad form to eat it on scene.” To which I responded, yep you’re fine. It’s the dark humor that keeps the wheels turning.

When my husband and I started dating, I knew he was a volunteer firefighter, and he told me “I was a volunteer before I met you, and I’m staying one for as long as I can. If you don’t like that or can’t live with it, you’d better bail now while you can!” Not only did I stay with him, I surprised us both by becoming a volunteer firefighter myself after we got married! He hung up the gear nine years ago after 28 years of volunteering, but I’m approaching my 24th year with the department this summer, so I’d say it worked out great!

The Shut Up Gland is actually pretty effective, considering everything that strains it. That said, after a long shift it can sometimes have to forcibly reset, prompting the first responder to scream into a pillow in frustration until their lungs give out. This is a vital process, allowing the Shut Up Gland to "reboot" and allow it to continue its vital function under nigh unreasonable stress loads.

LOL! My superior was a fire fighter for 9 years and had a wicked sense of humor. He told me stories about picking up body parts from motorcycle wrecks as this was something he would do at least twice a day. One subject hit a guard rail that was already hit by a previous accident so it was mangled up and sliced off the bikers head and arm. Cap told him to go in the woods and find the rest of the victim. My guy later came out hold an arm and saying "Hey Cap!" as he held up the severed appendage making the hand into a middle finger "fuck you". This wonderful gem is something I will never forget as what sparked the story was him finding out that I rode a motorcycle. tldr: Dark sense of humor should be a bit bigger imo.

I agree. The shut up gland shuts off late at night (admin is not around). I will contest that energy drinks although not as effective, can still flow mysteriously around the brain. In corrections, the wanting a promotion memory far exceeds real life job experience. And dark humor is about 80 percent of the brain (next to living, breathing, eating, hating life, regrets on working during a full moon, and absolutely hate when the shift supervisor you relieve says have a quiet night). And this is what 12 year's of overnight corrections brings you. Loads of joy and bull s#!t.

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.😂

As someone who deals with first responders, I know it's very tempting to train and reinforce their shut up gland, especially if you are in a teaching position. Save yourself the time, it doesn't work. They're really like toddlers. 1. If they not allowed to do something, they'll attempt to do it. 2. If they're told that they're not allowed to do it, they'll attempt to do it, and try to do it in a way that you see it, and they'll be 100% getting away with it. 3. They demand your constant attention, especially if you're busy and they're not. 4. They actively will look for ways to get under your skin, one way or another, for them getting on your nerves is what playing fetch with a dog is to you. 5. Medics specifically enjoy to physically hurt people a little, especially friends, after all that treatment is more fun when they can intentionally add some additional pain in the process of providing aid. 6. Exception to rule 5 is when shit is actually life threatening 7. No matter how long you work with first responders, they'll always surprise you by doing something that you never expected Pro tip: Whenever I organize something, I always show the planning to my first responder friends, whilst communicating non verbally "you won't be able to" They'll find whatever loophole is in there and will mockingly explain to you step by step in detail how they would definitely go out their way to exploit the loophole they found. Fix that loophole if they're gonna show up, telling them to "please not do it" isn't enough, because of point one and two

My dad, coming home and relaying the events, when I asked him if he was okay, said, “I’m a little hungry. The guy had a Twinkie on his seat but I figured it’d be bad form to eat it on scene.” To which I responded, yep you’re fine. It’s the dark humor that keeps the wheels turning.

He hung up the gear nine years ago after 28 years of volunteering, but I’m approaching my 24th year with the department this summer, so I’d say it worked out great!

The Shut Up Gland is actually pretty effective, considering everything that strains it. That said, after a long shift it can sometimes have to forcibly reset, prompting the first responder to scream into a pillow in frustration until their lungs give out. This is a vital process, allowing the Shut Up Gland to "reboot" and allow it to continue its vital function under nigh unreasonable stress loads.

LOL! My superior was a fire fighter for 9 years and had a wicked sense of humor. He told me stories about picking up body parts from motorcycle wrecks as this was something he would do at least twice a day. One subject hit a guard rail that was already hit by a previous accident so it was mangled up and sliced off the bikers head and arm. Cap told him to go in the woods and find the rest of the victim. My guy later came out hold an arm and saying "Hey Cap!" as he held up the severed appendage making the hand into a middle finger "fuck you". This wonderful gem is something I will never forget as what sparked the story was him finding out that I rode a motorcycle. tldr: Dark sense of humor should be a bit bigger imo.

I agree. The shut up gland shuts off late at night (admin is not around). I will contest that energy drinks although not as effective, can still flow mysteriously around the brain. In corrections, the wanting a promotion memory far exceeds real life job experience. And dark humor is about 80 percent of the brain (next to living, breathing, eating, hating life, regrets on working during a full moon, and absolutely hate when the shift supervisor you relieve says have a quiet night). And this is what 12 year's of overnight corrections brings you. Loads of joy and bull s#!t.

Wow it’s like you have just looked inside my head, I think the dark humor section takes over total control after a few years too. Lost count of how many times my humour has been inappropriate in polite society. Happy new year to you and your station and stay safe

Dark humor for the win!!! The first responders brain is similar to a chef's brain , as well. I worked ER for 2 years before my 25 year cooking career. And man, both brains are insane. I love it.👍👍
Why is this man so accurate. Not a first responder but an ER nurse and this is sooo relatable!!! #LoveThisMan
I just want to thank you for a moment, not for the first response work as that's a given, but for these videos. My uncle and I had a strained relationship while I was growing up (it's better these days but he had difficulty separating me as a person from me as his brother's kid and he doesn't like my dad) while we've repaired a lot of things I still didn't understand a lot of his.....morbid behaviors with family. Your videos have really helped bring those behaviors to light not as "he's kind of an ass" but to "he's an ass to be proud of"
I'm making my wife watch this tonight. I married the one nurse that doesn't have a dark sense of humor, and frequently, I can't shut mine off. And so true about PD! Apparently, there is a common sense component that they are lacking.

As im in dispatch, i can confirm this. Officer's are idiots and i deal with them all night. I get along with ems and fire too well.
The little laugh after the comment about Police officers regretting they couldn't pass the firefighter exam had me... 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The regret gland popped up in my head too, but then immediately shrunk until it imploded into an abyss that was absorbed into my dark humor lol
This is 100% accurate to the military as well
Lmao I love how you just "discreetly" add in brain regions as you go. Like at 1:14
I used to be one of the folks who took care of the people brought into the hospital, then worked one on one for many years. Unfortunately, I've been in the very bright ambulance of pain quite a few times since becoming broken and disabled. I'm sorry. We're hoping for no ambulance rides this year! I know that the guys like this were my favorites to work with. Thanks for the memories and the laughter!
Married 31 years to my hero, he’s been a firefighter 36 years & just retired! Love your videos!
Excellent that's it Exactly coffee and dark humor followed by sarcasm.
My regret gland is so small I purposely try to put fires out before fire arrives just to see the disappointment on their faces 😂

I think first responders and chefs have a lot in common lol. Especially the linguistics part.
This perfectly sums me up!! It’s like you scanned my brain and got all this information 😂
The coffee part is so relatable. Coffee is my greatest bliss and curse, it's the crutch that keeps me going.

I'm a first responder dating a first responder,so yeah definitely can understand this and it's a billion percent true!
You can change out first responder with veteran and it would essentially be the same speech...
Hes always so happy and peppy when he talks about thus type of thing and it kills me! 😂😂😂😂 I think hes doin the opposite of his job, we need to give em a raise
I was raised by a firefighter/medic 😂 I can attest to all this.
Former Police Officer....LOVED the regret gland 😉 Spot on video!! 😂
OMG you are a genus. You have just saved my marriage.................
First responders brain chart.....priceless comedy gold. LOL
My gf, who is an ED nurse, says the shut up gland also exists in nurses.
You are amazing!!! I’m a former paramedic from Canada and I relate so much to every video of yours I’ve seen and I have the best laughs! Thank you for all you do, God bless you and stay safe out there ❤
im a daughter to 2 ems and an older sister to a firefighter....yea im screwed up lol

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.
Yep you are 100% spot on, Dude you have an awesome sense of humor/sarcasm which ever you want to go with lol! Love your channel keep it up.
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 $$$"
Thank you so much for the laughs Don’t give up your ( day?) job and make a mint doing stand- up, WE NEED GREAT LIFE- SAVERS LIKE YOU!!!! ( and , yes, even the dark humor)
Having worked with paramedics, gotta say you nailed this one. Especially the dark humour part.
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.😂
As someone who deals with first responders, I know it's very tempting to train and reinforce their shut up gland, especially if you are in a teaching position. Save yourself the time, it doesn't work. They're really like toddlers. 1. If they not allowed to do something, they'll attempt to do it. 2. If they're told that they're not allowed to do it, they'll attempt to do it, and try to do it in a way that you see it, and they'll be 100% getting away with it. 3. They demand your constant attention, especially if you're busy and they're not. 4. They actively will look for ways to get under your skin, one way or another, for them getting on your nerves is what playing fetch with a dog is to you. 5. Medics specifically enjoy to physically hurt people a little, especially friends, after all that treatment is more fun when they can intentionally add some additional pain in the process of providing aid. 6. Exception to rule 5 is when shit is actually life threatening 7. No matter how long you work with first responders, they'll always surprise you by doing something that you never expected Pro tip: Whenever I organize something, I always show the planning to my first responder friends, whilst communicating non verbally "you won't be able to" They'll find whatever loophole is in there and will mockingly explain to you step by step in detail how they would definitely go out their way to exploit the loophole they found. Fix that loophole if they're gonna show up, telling them to "please not do it" isn't enough, because of point one and two
It is almost identical to the nurse's brain except for the shut up gland that is way smaller in a nurse's brain.

I didn’t know nurses had one at all. At least ER nurses.
that explains my dad a former paramedic gallows humor
Pure, unvarnished, unfiltered TRUTH!
Without that "regret" gland it's a good map of a second responder's brain.
ICU nurse here. Told my boyfriend a story from work cause I thought it was freaking hilarious. It made him cry.
So true!!! My husband and daughter exactly!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂❤😂 I'm going to watch this all f#$king day 😂😂😂😂😂
Let's not forget another gland: the "why-am-I-waking-up-at-2am,-rainy-for-that-frequent-flier?" gland
Aa child of a Fireman and Police Officer... I legit never stood a chance. Now I work as an 911 Emergency Dispatcher! 🤣🤣🤣
😆Yep! Coffee has definitely replaced my CSF and it’s as black as my humor💀 Happy New Year Brother!
Watching this on duty at 9:30pm, with a cup of coffee on my desk...
Same goes for us night nurses lol
Can't get enough of this guy!
The absolute shade being thrown, I’m under a thiccc canopy 😂
Laughter is the best medicine., they say and it is soooooooooo true. Keeps you rollin’. 👍
I love how Linguistics randomly pops up like it was always there
"If you're married to one of us, I'm sorry."🤣
The shut gland facilitates a period of reflection which enables more dark humor.
Thank you for your service. And thank you for your videos. Stay safe.
"If you're married to one of us, I'm sorry." If your humor is that, it's perfectly okay 😂😂
I'm a mechanic, but I now realize I am a first responder.
god I love this channel and that mans humor so much 😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️
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
I THINK MY SHUT UP GLAD IS MALFUNCTIONING!

Your filter is clogged, replace with 2 to 3 weeks of vacation. Caution, filter is known to rapidly clog in the presence of idiots
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"
This applies to ICU nurses as well. LOLOL
Mr Clean our favorite medic 🎉 dude ur kicking ass 🇺🇸👍
Look at that 23 cops who failed firefighter exam 😂 😂 😂 😂
I'm a mental health crisis clinician and I think this maps out our brain pretty accurately as well. 😂😂
I assumed the "shut up gland" was so large because of the number of times you were yelling, "SHUUUT UUUPP!!!"😮
"If you're married to one of us......" LMFAO
not even a first responder yet and my dark humour takes up 50% of my brain
As a third responder ( disability caregiver) I can relate. Cheers for the dark humour
