A Chicken on the Podcast, a Near-Fatal Accident, and Why We’re Thankful | The Safety Meeting Ep. 5

Episode 5 of The Safety Meeting starts exactly how you’d expect… with a live chicken on the podcast table 🐔 — and then goes places we didn’t expect.

We introduce Construction Chicken CC, talk job sites, hunting stories, heavy equipment, and lake projects — but we also get real about why this episode took so long to come out. After a serious four-wheeler accident that nearly changed everything, we take a moment to talk about gratitude, recovery, and what actually matters.

What is The Safety Meeting?

In the inaugural episode of The Safety Meeting, Charles, Nick, Teddy, and Chris explain the who, what, where and why of the show and immediately go off the rails. They introduce themselves, talk about life in the trades, their adventures, and tell the unbelievable (but true) story of launching a bus and an S-10 truck off a cliff.
Along the way, they talk business, family, crypto tips (bad ones), bull riding, and what a “safety meeting” really means. Oh, and yes, there’s footage of the bus flying off the cliff.
Grab a drink, settle in, and meet the crew before the accident report gets written.
Welcome to The Safety Meeting: the meeting before the accident report.
