What can we say? It's been fun...

Friend of the show Tim Page-Bottorff joins the crew for the second year in a row as they get ready for summer conferences.

Science is all the rage these days. We believe in it. Josh believes in it. Do you? While the universe may never understand the meaning of the answers to those questions, one fact remains: Joshua Russell was sent here to make SAFETY better. Don't trust our word... It's SCIENCE.

Feedback is one of the most painful things we deal with (electronic, or professional). How do you prepare for it and what should you do with it? Join us as we unpack....

Welcome to the Safety Justice League (SJL) podcast! In this episode, the hosts are taking a fun and unique approach to safety discussions by creating an Elite Eight March Madness bracket of "bad safety ideas." The hosts start by brainstorming a list of safety ideas that may have good intentions but ultimately fall short in execution. These could include outdated safety equipment, ineffective safety training methods, or even misguided safety policies. They narrow down the list to the top eight contenders and create a bracket to determine which idea will be crowned the ultimate "bad safety idea." Throughout the episode, the hosts passionately debate the pros and cons of each safety idea and make their cases for why they should advance to the next round. They share personal experiences and anecdotes to illustrate the potential dangers and consequences of these bad safety ideas. Listeners can follow along with the bracket on the SJL website and vote for their favorite "bad safety idea" in each round. The hosts encourage listeners to share their own stories and experiences with bad safety ideas and engage in a lively discussion about how to improve safety practices in the workplace. Tune in to this episode of the SJL podcast to hear the hosts take on bad safety ideas and join the conversation about creating a safer working environment for everyone.

Description provided by ChatGPT, lol: Description: In this episode of the Safety Justice League podcast, the superhero hosts and their special guest, the infamous supervillain CRITICAL THOUGHT, discuss the importance of leadership in the world of safety. As the Safety Justice League, they have seen their fair share of safety mishaps and they are here to make sure that you don't repeat the same mistakes. The conversation starts off with the hosts and the villain discussing the characteristics of a good leader. As it turns out, the villain has a lot of experience in this area, having led many minions in his evil schemes over the years. The hosts are surprised to learn that the villain's methods are not too far off from what they would consider good leadership practices. As the conversation progresses, things take a hilarious turn as the villain reveals some of his favorite leadership techniques, including the "death glare" and the "evil laugh." The hosts can't help but burst out laughing at the absurdity of it all, but they also acknowledge that some of these techniques could be useful in certain situations. The episode ends with the hosts and the villain sharing some of their own personal leadership experiences, including some of their most embarrassing moments. It's a lighthearted episode that reminds us that even superheroes and supervillains can learn a thing or two about leadership. Tune in and join in on the fun!

Just play this in place of your annual turkey frier/Christmas tree safety briefing and thank us later...

In this episode, the crew digs deep with fellow Shesafety pro Amandeep Beesla. She enjoys reading regulations, ya'll. In all fairness though, it was refreshing to hear from someone so passonate about the profession that they would give up everything else just to be a part of it. Get deep, pop your cherry (believe us it's a thing), and take it in any way you can. This episode is off the chain(s).

We're back!!!! Allison Short has officially joined SJL to ruin our lives and tell us once and for all why there is a legitimate reason for the existence of candy corn.

This episode features one of our favorite people of all time: Barbie the Welder. She is so much more than an inspiration to this generation's tradespeople that words don't do her justice. Also... if anyone knows what the hell she was talking about when she said the movie "Castaway" got her interested in welding, please let JM know. He's never seen it...

On this meta episode, the crew try to figure out why the hell they still "do" safety. Spoiler alert... we never figured it out. Blame JM for his St. Patty's day hangover if you want. What's your why?

You're not gonna believe your ears. Someone told the crew they were funny and it went to their heads. Now they're talking crazyness, comedy clubs, and beers (of course) in Chicago. Better mark June 28th, 2022 at 6:30 pm CST just in case

Anyone want to travel back in time to May 2020? We didn't think so... This metasode is a review of one of our earliest SJL interviews.

In this incredible, second-annual holiday special the crew gets together to talk about their favorite traditions of the season... And then, just like usual it all goes to hell. Somehow the Jasons ended up unsupervised again. Sorry, Abby... Happy Hanukkah!

It's never wise to let the J's loose without supervision. But... Abby was busy and we needed to record. Sorry, Mom(s).

Just listen. I'm tired and I can't think of anything quippy. Its the best episode yet.
