I'm Completely Unprepared for Disaster

I'm Completely Unprepared for Disaster

Wrapping up Season One, we swoop in with one of our most hilarious episodes, chock full of relatable moments and comedy gold. Our confessor called to say that even though he lives in Los Angeles, he finds himself completely unprepared for earthquakes. Like - he has NOTHING. His final words are, "I feel like if the apocalypse hits, I'm just going to lay down and die... unless you have some suggestions."

Boy do we ever! In each episode, we bring on a 'Friend of the Show' - to offer our caller some friendly advice. We bring back crowd favorite Ryan Barton, who shares with us his 'meat of choice' for disaster, his silly ideas for what to barter in an emergency, and when you'll know you need to kick him out if he's taking up too many post-earthquake resources.

Next, we bring in an emergency preparedness instructor, Chin Thammasaengsri, member of Los Angeles's prestigious CERT team. We unpack the essentials of what goes in an earthquake kit, the most important thing you should have under your bed and on your nightstand, and the transformative power of community in the face of disaster. We find out if Chin thinks Ryan's advice was good, and you'll get a firsthand audio experience of what it sounds like to wake up in the middle of the night to an earthquake!
