What a glorious feeling, I'm happy again.

4
00:00:54,000 --> 00:01:01,000
I'm laughing at the clouds, so dark all above.

5
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:30,000

Let the eardrum pain begin.

14
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,000
Forget the corporate bullshit.

15
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:16,000
This is the Rated R Safety Show with your host, Dr.

16
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,000
It doesn't matter who the host is.

17
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,000
Oh, you so know it.

18
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,000
It does not matter who the host is.

19
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,000
It always has mattered who the listeners are.

20
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:30,000
I hope everything is good and grand inside your neck of the woods.

21
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:36,000
We are getting to hang out once again, even on a lovely Tuesday.

22
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:42,000
Today is Tuesday, September 10, 2024, day 254 of the year.

23
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,000
Only 112 days left to go.

24
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,000
I hope everything is going well for you.

25
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:52,000
We are broadcasting from Santa Fe, New Mexico.

26
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:56,000
We are hanging out at the Todd Conklin Conference.

27
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,000
We will be starting up in a couple of hours.

28
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:03,000
It starts off at 8.30 Mountain Time.

29
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,000
I almost messed that whole thing up.

30
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,000
We are hanging out in a different time zone.

31
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,000
Welcome to the multiverse known as Safety FM.

32
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:15,000
We will be hanging out with our friends and colleagues over there.

33
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:19,000
You are being infiltrated. Radio big.

34
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:25,000
Yes, as you know, infiltration and radio big has always been a thing that we talk about.

35
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:26,000
Duh.

36
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,000
This is not some major level of surprise as I bring that up.

37
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:30,000
No doubt about it.

38
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:31,000
How have you been?

39
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,000
It's been a hot moment since we've got to hang out.

40
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,000
Let me tell you what has gone.

41
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:37,000
What has happened.

42
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:38,000
It wasn't that I disappeared.

43
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:39,000
It wasn't that I vanished.

44
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,000
It wasn't that I was gonzo.

45
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:42,000
Here's what occurred.

46
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:46,000
I ended up having to take a quick trip down to Mexico.

47
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:52,000
I was down in Mexico, so that's why I couldn't broadcast for the last few days.

48
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,000
Then yesterday was a travel day for me.

49
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:59,000
I ended up being one of those things where I was traveling all over the place and trying to get into time.

50
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:00,000
It just did not work out.

51
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,000
We were able to put some other things inside of there.

52
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:04,000
Hopefully you did enjoy that.

53
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,000
At least we can say that that was enjoyable.

54
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,000
At least we're hoping that that was enjoyable for you.

55
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,000
At least that's the way that I look at it.

56
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:18,000
Besides that, if you're not familiar with our show, our show consists of safety in the news, news and safety.

57
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:19,000
That's all it's about.

58
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,000
We bring in some professional broadcasters.

59
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,000
They tell us what the hell is going on inside of the world of the news.

60
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:32,000
Then we give you the mumbo jumbo of everything that's going on because, hey, I'm pretty sure you were interested in what is happening

61
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:37,000
because that's just the way that things happen around here, no doubt about that.

62
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,000
With that being said, if you want to interact with the show,

63
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:44,000
the easy path of doing so is by going to callinradio.com.

64
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:52,000
That's callinradio.com and that will get everything moving and grooving for you in regards of getting everything set up.

65
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:57,000
Don't worry about that because we will have that inside of the multiverse inside of there for you.

66
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:58,000
There you go.

67
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:04,000
Call in radio, video, audio and text messaging is everything that is available right there.

68
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:09,000
Anyways, with that being said, why don't we start talking right away about what the hell was trending?

69
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:14,000
Here is what was trending. Rated R, safety show.

70
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:20,000
Okay, so let me be specific as I get into this because we are on the Roto Odo this time around.

71
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:27,000
We will not be doing video today. It is solely, solely, solely audio.

72
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:31,000
So we are live on safety FM. We are live on radio big.

73
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:37,000
We are also coming across our podcasting platform 2.0, meaning that if you are listening to this,

74
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:43,000
this is as in real time as it get if you have one of those pod catchers that does everything in real time.

75
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,000
So you're getting it as we're giving it to you.

76
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:50,000
So there you go. That's what's happening right there. So just know that.

77
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:54,000
Anyways, with that being said, here's what's going on today.

78
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:59,000
A wedding dress mishap decades in the making and another retailer enters bankruptcy restructuring.

79
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,000
We'll talk about that as we get into shit list.

80
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:06,000
Also, Nick Cannon knows that he doesn't have a shot with his ex-wife, Mariah Carey,

81
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:10,000
and one of Hollywood's couple shuts down swinging rumors.

82
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,000
We'll talk about that as we get into show business.

83
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:18,000
Although South Park delays the newest season and Kathy Bates dishes out on her final role.

84
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:23,000
What else? Dreams is a bit has a big dreams big this weekend.

85
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:27,000
We'll talk about that as we get into some of the other information and an encouraging moment of hope

86
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,000
for the future of Princess Kate.

87
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:35,000
So I guess that gives you a lot of stuff of what we'll be doing here for the next for the next couple hours or so.

88
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:40,000
So let's talk about this. If you're not familiar with how this goes, this is how it goes.

89
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:49,000
We do our number one rated our safety show two and three is exclusively to radio big FM where we talk about music and entertainment.

90
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:54,000
So just in case if you kind of get lost in what we're doing, that's what the hell is going on.

91
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:59,000
So don't worry about that. So with that being said, I have some professional broadcasters that are waiting in the wing

92
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:03,000
wanting to tell you exactly what's going on. So why don't we do this?

93
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:08,000
Why don't we go ahead and get into the news right now? Because I think it's a good time to do so.

94
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:14,000
Here is the news on the safety show from feature story news in the UK.

95
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:23,000
I'm John Beaver. Nearly 2000 prisoners will be freed in England and Wales today as part of a scheme to cut over crowding in jails.

96
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:29,000
The justice secretary says the early releases are necessary because of the shortage of cells.

97
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:34,000
Those in prison for violent and sexual offences are not among those being let out.

98
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:42,000
Chief Inspector of Prisons Charlie Taylor says it's a risky move but believes the government has no choice.

99
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:47,000
The bath was in danger of overflowing and they either had to turn the taps off or they had to let the water out.

100
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:50,000
Ministers have decided to let lots of prisoners out early.

101
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:57,000
Inevitably that puts some risks into local communities and will grace a strain on already stretched probation services.

102
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:04,000
Meanwhile, the justice secretary Shabnam Mahmood has explained what she thinks would have happened if she didn't take action.

103
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:12,000
We would have seen the breakdown of law and order because courts would not have been able to conduct trials and the police would not have been able to make arrests.

104
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:22,000
Pakistani authorities have arrested key leaders from former Prime Minister Imran Khan's party just days after violent clashes between the police and party supporters.

105
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:31,000
Khan has been in jail for more than a year on corruption charges he denies and claims are a bid to keep him out of power. Here in Mustafa has more.

106
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:38,000
Authorities in Pakistan have arrested several top leaders from imprisoned Prime Minister Imran Khan's party.

107
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:46,000
This comes just days after Imran Khan's party held a massive public gathering on the outskirts of Islamabad demanding his release.

108
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:53,000
Among the detainees accused of inciting violence was the president of Khan's party Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf.

109
00:08:53,000 --> 00:09:00,000
Videos circulating online show police taking the party's chief out of his vehicle and escorting him to a police station.

110
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:07,000
Other leaders are also being detained. They are charged with making inflammatory speeches at a protest on Sunday.

111
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:14,000
The government accuses Khan's party of inciting violence by breaking the law and encouraging citizens to defy it too.

112
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:22,000
However, Khan's party denies this. They accuse the government of stifling dissent. Here in Mustafa, Islamabad.

113
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:31,000
US lawmakers are pushing ahead with a string of bills aimed at countering China targeting China and its companies. Laura Westbrook reports.

114
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:39,000
Among the first bills voted on was a bill that aims to restrict business with Chinese biotech firms on the grounds of national security.

115
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:46,000
Lawmakers also voted to bar new drones from Chinese manufacturer DJI from operating in the United States.

116
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:53,000
The company rejects it poses national security risks. The bills still need to be approved by the Senate to become law.

117
00:09:53,000 --> 00:10:06,000
The Chinese embassy in Washington slammed the bills targeting China, saying the legislation aims to undermine practical cooperation and would interfere in China's internal affairs. Laura Westbrook, Hong Kong.

118
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:09,000
From bureaus worldwide, this is FSN.

119
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:20,000
With FSN Spotlight, I'm Simon Marks. Is the stage being set for Western allies to give the go ahead to Ukraine to use weaponry supplied by NATO members to its fullest effect?

120
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:29,000
There is speculation that may be at the heart of a White House meeting due to take place on Friday between President Joe Biden and Britain's Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

121
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:37,000
At the moment, the West places restrictions on weapons it sends to Kiev for fear of being drawn into a wider conflict with Russia.

122
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:43,000
Will it mean that Ukraine will win the war? Absolutely not. But it does have an effect and is a way of bringing the war to Russia.

123
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:50,000
David Patrick Karakos is a special correspondent for the Daily Mail, currently in the Ukrainian port city of Kherson.

124
00:10:50,000 --> 00:11:01,000
If you're worried about Russian escalation, don't arm Ukraine in the first place. And when it comes to escalation and nuclear saber rattling, let's not forget that Ukraine has recently become the first power to invade Russia since the 1940s.

125
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:07,000
And Putin, far from rattling his nuclear saber about Kursk, is actually ignoring it, pretending it's not happening to his own people.

126
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:16,000
If you strike Russia, you hurt Russia. And appeasement doesn't work. There are Western weapons being used against Russians every day on Ukrainian territory.

127
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:28,000
To say that we can't do something else for fear of escalating the conflict, I think what has been shown over the past few months is that when Ukraine does step up, when it does hurt Russia more directly, the Russians will back down and the Ukrainian cause will be advanced.

128
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:36,000
Will President Biden agree with that argument? It's unclear, but he is coming under increasing pressure to let the Ukrainians take the gloves off.

129
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:39,000
With FSN Spotlight, I'm Simon Marks.

130
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:48,000
To recap the top stories, nearly 2,000 prisoners will be freed in the UK today as part of a scheme to cut over crowding in jails.

131
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:58,000
Pakistani authorities have arrested key leaders from former Prime Minister Imran Khan's party just days after violent clashes between the police and party supporters.

132
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:06,000
And in what's been dubbed China Week, US lawmakers will vote on dozens of bills targeting China and its companies.

133
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:31,000
That's the latest Feature Story News. John Beaver reporting.

134
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:53,000

145
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:18,000
If you're anything like me, you have certain tendencies to put things off such as filing taxes, seeing the doctor, you know, working on that home improvement project that you're supposed to be doing, but you just haven't gotten to it.

146
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:29,000
And while most of the times it works out, the one thing in life that you really cannot afford to wait on is setting up term coverage life insurance.

147
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:35,000
You've probably seen life insurance commercials on TV and thought, yeah, I'll look into it later.

170
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:27,000
Okay, well I hope it's definitely a little bit more enjoyable than just that, but that's for sure.

171
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:37,000
Anyways, here we go. 17 minutes past the top of the hour as you and I are hanging out on this lovely Tuesday doing all the weird stuff that we get to do.

172
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:49,000
So don't worry about that. Anyway, so as we are hanging out and talking and doing all the fun stuff that we get to do, we're going to go in and start taking some deep dives on some of the things that are occurring inside of the world.

173
00:17:49,000 --> 00:18:00,000
So Battle of the Billionaire Starlink is the constellation of satellites owned and managed by SpaceX that provide, yes, provide internet across and around the world.

174
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:07,000
It has about 6,000 satellites in orbit, representing nearly two-thirds of all active satellites around Earth.

175
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:13,000
The service provides significant revenue for SpaceX and keeps Elon Musk's net worth well supported.

176
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:21,000
Now fellow billionaire and astronaut wannabe Jeff Bezos wants to get into the action under the name Project Coupeter.

177
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:33,000
The subsidiary of Amazon, Bezos, has launched two Just Do satellites into orbit to provide similar service with plans to launching another 3,000-ton time in the coming years.

178
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:43,000
The company has not yet received regulatory approval to operate in other countries quite yet, though the United Kingdom appears to be posed to give the go-ahead soon.

179
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:52,000
Worth noting as of September the 6th, Musk and Bezos held the top two spots of the richest men in the world,

180
00:18:52,000 --> 00:19:00,000
Musk with $252.7 billion and Bezos with $196.4 billion.

181
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:11,000
You know, it really doesn't matter because neither number can I even fathom inside of my head in regards of how many billions that is when it's all said and done.

182
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:14,000
So what do you think here? I mean, think about it. It's a lot.

183
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:21,000
I mean, it is a lot of information that you get there in regards of what they have satellite-wise,

184
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:26,000
especially with the stuff that SpaceX is doing or Starlink, however you want to take a look at that.

185
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:35,000
But if you start thinking about the whole aspect here, when you start thinking about how many satellites they have and it's two-third of all satellites,

186
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:40,000
that's a lot of power for one company to have if you kind of really start thinking about it.

187
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:45,000
So I don't know. It's just it's not a weird thing. It's kind of a different thing.

188
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:49,000
It's an interesting thing if one may say it in that particular fashion.

189
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:56,000
So there you go. Anyways, Fire Festival 2 is happening, a video plan posted on X on Monday.

190
00:19:56,000 --> 00:20:05,000
Let's see. Morning by Billy McFarad announced dates of Fire Festival 2, but is still keeping mum of the exact location.

191
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:12,000
The event will run from April 25th to the 28th next year, the private island off of the Caribbean coast in Mexico.

192
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:16,000
McFarland said potential festival goers can apply for tickets online.

193
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:22,000
The application includes basic contact information, name, email, phone number. There are four different ticket levels.

194
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:27,000
Yeah, I did say four different ticket levels, though it's still not much of different details.

195
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:32,000
What's includes including the travel from the mysterious island.

196
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:36,000
Fire Starter is one thousand five hundred four hundred dollars.

197
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:43,000
The let's see. Here we go. The fire. The fire VIP is five thousand dollars.

198
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:46,000
Fire Artist Pass is twenty five thousand dollars.

199
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:52,000
And when I tell you the next one, Prometheus is one million one hundred thousand dollars.

200
00:20:52,000 --> 00:21:00,000
The application is option of the then the application then to ask for your optionally your Instagram handle

201
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:04,000
and ask if anyone else we know you should know should know about this.

202
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:07,000
No money exchange has happened yet.

203
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:13,000
But some editorial notes in an experiment we submitted our information about four hours later.

204
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:21,000
We got an email approving approving that our tickets, nothing to the length of purchase was was only good for 24 hours.

205
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:25,000
We didn't supply our social security or social media details.

206
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:31,000
But in if anything else we should know section wrote just really rooting for you, Billy.

207
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:34,000
We're not going to pay fourteen hundred dollars for this adventure at this time.

208
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:38,000
We're also way too old for that hot nonsense.

209
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,000
But we'll keep tabs on what happens next.

210
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:46,000
The email notes, the information on the experiences, adventure and artist lineup will follow in the coming weeks.

211
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:49,000
Why would you buy something that you can't even know what the hell is going on?

212
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:56,000
Also worth noting the concierge called and sent a text from a guy named Rob going over all the above details,

213
00:21:56,000 --> 00:22:02,000
adding hopes to see you and the island can't wait for the part to party with you via Billy McFarlane.

214
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,000
So there you go. I don't I don't know.

215
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:12,000
I look at it from a whole standpoint of if you're going to commit to something like this, even at a fourteen hundred dollar level,

216
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:14,000
you really need to know what's going on.

217
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:20,000
I mean, think about this real quick. Would you buy tickets to a festival having no idea what's going on

218
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:25,000
and knowing that the previous version of the festival was a total collapse?

219
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:29,000
I mean, I'm being dead serious because that's the portion that we start talking about.

220
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:33,000
It's the portion that we start looking into where we go.

221
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:38,000
This is some interesting times in regards of what's going on.

222
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:45,000
I've never looked at this or even seen anything where people buy tickets to an event that they know nothing about or that it's totally collapse.

223
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:49,000
I can understand to an extent going to a Lollapalooza concert.

224
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:56,000
And the reason why I say this is because going to Lollapalooza, well, you kind of know that the name recognition has been around for a while.

225
00:22:56,000 --> 00:23:00,000
No major catastrophes have occurred, at least not that we know of.

226
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:06,000
And it's been pretty much OK. But you take a look at something like this and it was a total like a total.

227
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:11,000
Well, I don't even know how to say it the right way. It was a total and everybody seemed to be OK with it.

228
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:14,000
So, I mean, I don't know. I mean, think about that.

229
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:18,000
So you have tents flying around, grilled cheese sandwiches, and you're paying thousands of dollars.

230
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:21,000
People were like, I don't give a about going to something like that.

231
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:24,000
That's for sure. And your people were stranded for a period of time.

232
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:27,000
So some other stuff to think about. No doubt about that.

233
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:30,000
Anyways, another one bites the dust. Discount home goods.

234
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:37,000
Relative retailer Big Lots has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The company will shutter some stores,

235
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:41,000
but sell off its assets to a private equity firm as it restructures.

236
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:47,000
In the statement, Big Locks blamed inflation, elevated interest rates for their target customers,

237
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:50,000
pulling back on spending, especially on seasonal items.

238
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:59,000
One of the biggest and one of the industry analysts reports of Big Lots stores open at least one year have seen sales decline for up to nine straight quarters.

239
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:07,000
Depending on how long they've been open as part of the reconstruction, other firms will be able to bid on purchase.

240
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:12,000
But the firm called Nexus Capital is leading the buybacks.

241
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:21,000
This is according to ABC News. So I don't know. I take a look at it and I go, I mean, I don't know.

242
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:25,000
How do you look at the books? How do you look at the books at the things that are going on?

243
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:30,000
That's the stuff that I always question because there's so many things that are happening when you're going around and saying,

244
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:35,000
OK, here's a book for this. Here's a book for that. And how do you go about doing it?

245
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:43,000
I mean, I don't know. It's like if you are basing your business and this is me just talking here,

246
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:47,000
based off of debt alone, you're going to run into some problems.

247
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:51,000
I don't think I'm telling you anything that most people don't know. So let me get a megaphone real quick.

248
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:58,000
If you are running your business based on debt alone and this is how you're running it, you're probably going to run into some issues.

249
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:04,000
What people tend to forget is that, you know, if there's ever a call on the notes, you have to pay it with an X amount of time.

250
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:09,000
And if they call the notes back, that could be some problems.

251
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:15,000
We at Safety FM are not responsible for what this idiot behind the microphone is saying.

252
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,000
He is trying to be entertaining.

253
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:25,000
We're to all safety shows. OK, so 30 years ago, Christina Pereira of Elizabeth, New Jersey, got married.

254
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:33,000
And like so many brides had her dress cleaned and preserved in a box by a professional service,

255
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:38,000
hoping that one day to pass it along to her daughter, her daughter, Samantha, recently got engaged.

256
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:45,000
And the mother and daughter duo excitedly busted out the dress from the box and Samantha to try it on.

257
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:52,000
Samantha tells the local media she helped me put on the dress and she was looking at me and I was expecting her to cry and she didn't.

258
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:59,000
And I was like, do I not look good in this? And then I realized then she realized that's not my dress.

259
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:02,000
Yep, you heard me correctly. That was not the dress.

260
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:06,000
The company that stored the preserved the dress went out of business long ago.

261
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:15,000
Samantha and Christina are turning to social media not just for hopefully to find the original dress, but to return the one to the possession to its rightful owner.

262
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:19,000
Well, they've gotten a few promising leads. Nothing has panned out.

263
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:26,000
This is according to ABC seven. So I don't know. Interesting times for sure.

264
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:31,000
I mean, I don't explain this to me because I don't understand it.

265
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:39,000
What would be the purpose of having your child wear the dress that you wore during your ceremony?

266
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:44,000
I don't know. I mean, I don't get it. I'm very bad at ritualistic stu
