This week we’re joined by Ben Flores, a firefighter from Seaside, who walks us through his journey into the fire service — from the moment he knew this was the job to the grind of actually getting there. We talk holiday fire prevention (because nothing ruins Christmas like a kitchen fire), the reality of first calls, and the unforgettable moment of getting stuck inside the fire engine when the adrenaline was already maxed out.

It’s equal parts informative, chaotic, and hilarious — a behind-the-scenes look at the life of a firefighter from someone who actually lives it… not just someone who owns a red toy truck.

You can’t prepare for what’s waiting in the dark.

This week, the crew gets spooky with Spooky Girl 831 — the local legend who knows every haunted corner of the Central Coast. From ghostly sightings in Salinas to eerie encounters on backroads you definitely shouldn’t drive alone at night, we dive into the creepiest stories the 831 has to offer. 👻

She shares her own hair-raising experiences (literally), and we trade some of our own spine-tingling tales. Whether you’re a skeptic or a believer, this episode will make you think twice before turning off the lights.

Grab your sage, your flashlight, and maybe your mom’s rosary — things are about to get haunted.
