Show Notes

In Episode 1252, we roll straight out of the chaos of today’s headlines — from food-delivery disasters, late-night recipe meltdowns, tech wars, and IRS agents being forced to watch OnlyFans content — and step directly into something that actually matters: safety, community, and the people trying to make things better.

After covering the latest news from around the multiverse, Jay sits down with Emily Degerome of the Alliance for Central Florida Safety (ACFS) to talk about Safety Day 2026, happening February 4th in Orlando.

Emily breaks down why ACFS intentionally paused their 2025 event, how they’re kicking off 2026 with a stronger-than-ever lineup, and why they remain one of the most affordable, accessible safety gatherings anywhere. From fall-protection standards to mentoring the next generation of safety professionals, crane and lifting challenges, safety leadership, and even hands-on fire-extinguisher training with Orange County Fire Rescue, this year’s program has something for every level of experience.

Plus — yes — your parking, CEUs, Italian lunch buffet, and full-day access are included in the $50 registration. No catch. No “midnight gourmet meal” expectations attached.

Whether you’re in Central Florida or flying in from across the country, this episode delivers the full breakdown of what’s coming, why it matters, and how you can get involved.

If today’s news reminded you how strange the world can get… this conversation reminds you why the safety community still shows up anyway.
