Welcome to your Tuesday reality check—broadcasting straight from the multiverse of Safety FM. In this episode of the Rated R Safety Show, Jay Allen dives headfirst into the circus of performative safety, LinkedIn vanity metrics, and the “safety gods” who crown themselves on social media. From the rebranding of safety to the mutation of learning teams into theatre, Jay asks the big question: Does social cred equal real impact—or just better optics?
We also unpack:
A wild headline run: headless gators, AI title theft, and celebrity book claims.
The 23andMe data sell-off and what it really means about consent in a post-privacy world.
Why Safety Mutation is getting all the love—and how it wasn't supposed to be a trilogy, but here we are.
🔥 Plus: Jay’s take on the illusion of online “initiatives,” viral validation, and who’s really building systems that matter.
