Please Remain Calm! is a weekly podcast that features two experienced Los Angeles, California paramedics who also happen to be entertainers as they break down real 911 calls with the people involved in them.
Whether they were the victim, caller, or responder, PCR examines the incident from all perspectives to give insight into what an emergency call is really like for everyone involved.
Hosted by The Gonzalez Brothers: Danny, an LAFD Firefighter/Paramedic and working Actor (NCIS, SWAT, & BOSCH) and Ben an LA County Paramedic and stand-up comedian (HBO Max & SXSW).
On this week’s episode, comedian and former Pediatric Oncology RN Taquita Love joins us for a deep conversation about healing thru laughter, the resilience of children and the lessons she learned working in a Childrens Hospital and then in the Pediatric wing of the biggest cancer hospital in LA. The trio also discusses work/life balance, & how you realize what’s really important. Love also tells us how her family got her into medicine and nursing, and then into stand up comedy.
Danny also explains what happened to the station 63 Instagram page & we talk about Ben’s new comedy special he just filmed.
He is the host of “Entre Nos” part 2, a stand up showcase series on HBO, & has also filmed for Fox & Netflix. He has hosted & produced one of the most popular shows in LA, “The Goonies Show” for nearly 4 years. As a stand up he features and headlines shows around the country. As a host, he can be seen on national TV, and streaming online. Either way, audiences are left laughing & talking about what they just saw.
