    233: Lemon was forced to decide
    Oct 17 2025
    Sometimes you find yourself in a situation that you didn’t ever expect, and you are faced with a decision that you never thought you’d have to make. Joe was an EMT in New York. He had just finished his evening shift, and he did what he always did after leaving work. He stopped by the local Dunkin’ Donuts for his regular nightly coffee. But this time was a little different – he happened to be carrying his newly acquired carbon monoxide detector with him. When he entered the store, that detector started sounding an alarm. But Joe was skeptical. There was only one employee working at this late hour, and Joe asked her if she felt okay. The donut worker said she felt fine, so Joe thought that the detector might be malfunctioning. And he could have just forgotten about it at that point. But he made the decision to double check. He reset that alarm, and got permission to go back and inspect the area near the ovens. Sure enough, this time the detector confirmed dangerous levels of carbon monoxide – and it was all throughout the store. Joe quickly evacuated the premises and contacted the proper authorities. The decision he made, just on instinct, probably saved the life of that employee. My guest today is Lemon – yes, just like the fruit. And you’ll hear how she got that nickname. Lemon was suddenly and unexpectedly put in a place of making a life-changing decision. And she had to do that while she was at home, and her house was on fire.

  • 232: Lesli was saved by a neighbor

    232: Lesli was saved by a neighbor
    Oct 10 2025
    You and I make decisions, all day every day. But have you ever thought about being able to have a choice about how you die? I mean, most people would probably prefer a method that’s quick and painless, so I guess we might want to have some say in the matter. But being put in that position of having to actually choose – in the moment – is not something that happens very often. But that’s the situation Lesli was in. This is a Flashback episode, and Lesli told this story on the podcast about five years ago. I wasn’t able to get in touch with her for an update conversation, but what you’re about to hear is a super crazy story of what happened to her in Nashville. And how her neighbor, Bill, came to her rescue without a moment to spare.
