Ever thought about what you'd pack if you had to make a quick escape? Yep, we all have! In fact Jimmy gets this question all the time. So for this episode we're pulling open the zipper on Jimmy's legendary go-bag, and answering one of our students favorite questions... "What's in your go-bag Jimmy?" From the practical to the downright bizarre, you won’t believe what he's stashed away for a rainy day—or a zombie apocalypse.

Get ready for some laughs, surprises, and a few moments that’ll make you think, “Maybe I need a go bag too.” But be warned—Jimmy’s version of preparedness might just leave you questioning your own survival instincts! Is that a jar of pickles? Why is there a rubber chicken in here? And what’s up with the cassette tape labeled “Mixtape for the End of the World”?

Tune in for a wild ride as we dig through Jimmy's survival stash and discover why he thinks he’s ready for anything life (or the apocalypse) throws his way. Whether you’re a doomsday prepper or just in it for the laughs, this episode is sure to entertain!
