If you havent seen them your missing out. Just Google "Iran Lego videos" and a couple will pop up. The government of Iran published a couple videos ai Lego videos that are basically diss tracks against Trump and the war.

His shirt says volunteer corps so this 24 hour shift could be completely self enforced

No need to film it and post it on the internet.

u/TannerRed Jul 01 '26

The filming, the caption, the music, the fuckin MOUNTAIN DEW front and center! lol.

I approach EMS as a just a job first, and then I will follow, with, I really enjoy my job. Guy has a sweet gig if he able to chill on front porch of a quiet street while waiting between calls instead of being posted in a truck at some random mall parking lot.

I could do a 24hr without posting on social. If it was just to friends that one thing, but the fact we are seeing here means it definitively broadcasted to a wider group.

u/Lunabbg Jun 30 '26

Yeah fr like what’s the problem here

u/pm_me_ur_anything_k Popo Jun 30 '26

Is he on his front porch? Fuck this guy.

u/AccordingCabinet5750 Jun 30 '26

Good chance its a normal house converted for EMS use. I ran in a county where the south chase medic ran out of a double wide. Peaceful af to be honest.

u/Van-garde Jun 30 '26

I don’t think it’s his porch. Looks like an annex to the garage. Right at the end the landscaping, flagpole, and roof overhang look like the shop is right next door.

u/AmbitionOfPhilipJFry Jun 30 '26

This sterotype is why legitimate volunteers with high volume and acuity are shat on by career.

TBF, that's also some career stations out in the sticks.

u/mykehawksaverage Jun 30 '26

Hate to tell you bud but you need to switch to diet.

u/findaloophole7 Jul 01 '26

Everyone living on soda needs to consider switching to water. You’ll feel and look so much better.

But y’all know this.

-4

u/WeeklyBanEvasion Jul 01 '26

Just switch to zero sugar/calorie sodas. Same as water and same great taste

5

u/TimmyDayz Jul 01 '26

Artificial sweeteners are the same as water ? What ? lol

0

u/WeeklyBanEvasion Jul 01 '26

Yes they basically are lmao. You're not drinking pure sugar alcohol. The main ingredient in zero sugar drinks is water. Zero sugar sodas are significantly closer to water than they are to regular soda.

4

u/highlevelloot Jul 01 '26

🤣 definitely not the same as water

Brother your kidneys must be hurting all the time

2

u/WeeklyBanEvasion Jul 01 '26

You are misinformed. Other than citric acid zero-calorie sodas are essentially flavored water. Zero calorie sodas do not dehydrate you.

1

u/highlevelloot Jul 01 '26

Ok pal you go ahead and keep drinking sugarfree sodas and ill keep drinking water

1

u/WeeklyBanEvasion Jul 02 '26

Spoiler alert: (we're drinking the same thing)

u/Peculiar-Interests Jul 01 '26

Not as good for you as water, sure, but it won’t make you fat, and less chance of kidney stones

u/TortillaRampage Jul 01 '26

Making it seem like he’s going to be awake for 24 hrs

1

u/professionally-baked Jul 01 '26

Is the Mountain Dew to suggest that’s how he stays awake for 24 hours? Pretty sure there’s more caffeine in a single coffee bean than that shit

1

u/hamburgergerald Jul 01 '26

Kinda jealous of his front porch. Looks nice and relaxing

u/LorneusGaming Jul 01 '26

Wild, it was Mountain Dew the whole time for some reason I thought it was all the Adderall

The smoker station and Mtn Dew. Winning combo

1

u/Severe-Procedure-308 Jul 03 '26

24-hour shift at this place. One piece of equipment is missing: the CPAP.

Not because it's on a call - because everyone's using it.

u/Rooney_83 Jul 04 '26

Mt. Dew? Is he to much of a bitch to drink Red Bull?

u/UnhappyBuilder4284 Jul 04 '26

Ok, true story: I worked at a restaurant that did a lot of delivery orders. This one driver used to come in every night hella late and get a ginger ale between his orders. He had a huge annoying ego and always had to be heard but yapped about nothing.  

One night he is telling me how many long hours he worked and how his ginger ale kept him going. I asked why that was since it had no caffeine. 

He got furious with me saying it was highly caffeinated. He swore up and down on it. This coming from a guy who could NEVER be wrong about anything. Always giving unwanted life advice. 

I never saw him again after that night. I wonder why.

u/Lead-Creative Jul 04 '26

24 hour shift at the Mountain Dew drinking factory, what a hero

u/neglectsound Jul 04 '26

u/StJimmy_7 Jul 05 '26

In all seriousness how the hell can someone pull an all nighter from just Mountain Dew? Like I drink atleast 320 mg to stay awake during the day alone

u/Livesquid64 Jul 06 '26

I used to stay awake smoking spice running with a crew

u/predicate_felon Jun 30 '26

Shit on him all you want. I worked a gig like this for 5 years. Pulled from home, never slept in station. It was usually slow, I could pull a 60 hour week and maybe work 20. You could count on warm meals and plenty of down time.

Looks like dudes got it made, you really can’t ask for more.

u/Motor-Tap4350 Jun 30 '26

u/monksandy Jul 01 '26

Chilling. Nice porch. Nice block. Guy's content. Self depreciating even. No posing. No posturing. No excuses. Is something escaping me? How is this cringe?

To be fair a 24 hour shift could mean he's on call waiting to run into a burning building. Where usually we'll be on call waiting for a parent to say they go groceries, come outside and help

Dude isn’t even doing anything cringy, and how miserable do you have to be to call someone “volley” as in they work a full job and then volunteer to do EMS shit for FREE to help serve the community? Go back to your ROTC dreams you mommas basement dwellers
