Darin and Gennette debrief recent events, talk Poisoned, lapdogs in restaurants, and going viral (not the pathogen kind). Plus, a military vet turned food safety pro reminds us why speaking up matters even if it makes you the a**hole.
Four Horseman and Dolly and Poop Podcast! OH MY! This episode is a full-on poo-poo platter: part chaos, part confessional, and part tribute to the people holding the line in food safety. Darin and Gennette debrief from the Food Safety Consortium, where Darin joined the “Four Horsemen” panel of Poisoned voices. They talk documentary aftermath, public apathy, and going viral for all the wrong reasons.
Plus, U.S. Air Force vet Kris Newton joins to share how military discipline translates into food safety leadership and what it means to speak up, even if it makes you the a**hole in the room. Toss in a few reality TV health code meltdowns, a Dolly drag parade in Nashville, and a lapdog in an LA restaurant, and you’ve got one unforgettable episode.

Confessions of a Food Safety A**Hole is a raw, honest, and surprisingly light listen about a serious subject: the failures that still threaten the safety of the food we eat. Hosted by Dr. Darin Detwiler—a man who turned personal tragedy into decades of public advocacy—and his wife Gennette Zimmer; this podcast pulls no punches. Together, they unpack the moments when speaking up wasn’t popular, but absolutely necessary. From the lens of experiencing every day food safety failures, Darin shares what it’s really like to challenge the system from the inside out.
Equal parts storytelling, reflection, and real talk, Confessions is for anyone who’s ever wondered why preventable tragedies still happen—and what it takes to stop them.
Because silence might be easier, but it’s never safer.
