This show is brought to you by Sadie FM.
2
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:36,000
It kills all the fun, kills all the fun.
3
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:49,000
Everything comes in life, brings a new drop of blood from the sky.
4
00:00:49,000 --> 00:01:01,000
But I don't mind, cause the way that you laugh makes me feel so alive, feel so alive.
5
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:36,000
The following program is rated M-A-L-S-V. It contains strong language, sexual situations and violence. It is intended only for mature audiences.

Finally, show with the balls to call it like it is. Rated our safety show on Safety FM.
7
00:01:46,000 --> 00:02:02,000
Countdown to audio torture. The rated R safety show starts in 3, 2, 1. Let the eardrum pain begin.
8
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:16,000
Forget the corporate bullshit. This is the rated R safety show with your host, Dr. It doesn't matter who the host is.
9
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:24,000
Oh, you so know it and so do I. It does not matter who the host is. What always has mattered is who exactly the listeners are.
10
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:42,000
Anyways, I hope everything is good and grand inside of your neck of the woods as we are getting to hang out on this Tuesday, October the 22nd of 2024, day 294th of the year and only 70 days left to go.
11
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:55,000
We are broadcasting from the safety FM studios in Orlando, Florida and coming across the multiverse known as safety FM and hanging out with our friends and colleagues over there.
12
00:02:55,000 --> 00:03:06,000
Rio, USA, Canada, UK. Yep. Hanging out with our friends at radio big doing the stuff that we get to do. No doubt about that.
13
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:15,000
Anyway, so how have you been? How has the last 24 hours or so in your life been for you? Have you been braggadocious? Have you been living the life?
14
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:20,000
Have you been looking at things and going, wow, life just couldn't get any better? I mean, I don't know.
15
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:24,000
I ask these questions because I want to have a better understanding of what the hell's going on.
16
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:32,000
I'm not going to lie to you and tell you something that's not true about that because, hey, I'm always wondering about, hey, is this good? Is that bad? Or is that indifferent?
17
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:38,000
Because I never know. These things always that drive me are the things that I question the most. That is for sure.
18
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:44,000
Anyway, so if you're new here, let me tell you about what we do. We talk about safety. We talk about the news. We talk about news and safety.
19
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:53,000
We have some professional broadcasters that come in. We'll talk to you a little bit about everything that's going on inside of the sequence of events, because that is kind of what we do around here.
20
00:03:53,000 --> 00:04:03,000
No doubt about that. So with that being said, if you want to interact with the show, call in radio dot com. We'll get you moving and grooving. No doubt about that.
21
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:10,000
So once you get there, there's audio, there's text messaging, there's video messaging, anything that you can think of that you could possibly do.
22
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:16,000
Well, it's possible to do their video audio text. Once you get there, it'll tell you exactly what needs to be done.
23
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:20,000
Some limited information needs to be entered because that's just kind of the way that it goes.
24
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:27,000
And then from that particular point, we get you moving and we definitely get you grooving in regards of what's going to happen next.
25
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:34,000
No doubt about that. So what you want to talk about now? I'm kidding. So here's what we're going to do.
26
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:39,000
We're going to start talking right away about what the hell was trending in the overnight.
27
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:48,000
No, seriously is what was trending rated are safety show. I love when my button clicking is quicker than my mouth moving.
28
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:54,000
That's kind of interesting when you get to hear that. That is for sure. No doubt.
29
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:58,000
So with that being said, let's talk about what's going to happen today.
30
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,000
A follow up to the stranded Kayaker. We're going to talk about that.
31
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:08,000
Another credit crunch heading into the holidays. Also, Jelly Roll leaves X and Britney Spears is all about love.
32
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:13,000
We'll talk about that as we get into the show biz of things that are going on. No doubt there.
33
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:21,000
Also, an act. Let's now hold on. Cooper cock details his special bond and Eric Menendez is in casting calls.
34
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:27,000
Yes, I did say Eric Menendez is in casting calls. And then what else?
35
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:33,000
An activist legislator protests King Charles down under. Hold on. They hold on to your protest down under.
36
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:39,000
OK, so that's it. That's going to be it on what's going to be discussed during the show.
37
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:46,000
But let's kind of go through some of this. If you want to take a look at what the hell we have going on, call in radio, as I said.
38
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:57,000
But I've not been talking lately a lot about safety FM dot com where you can go and see where it says visual radio, where you can see us in real time.
39
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:03,000
If you want to do that there, opposed to seeing us on the other side, which will be kind of like the social media platforms.
40
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:09,000
But that's entirely up to you on how you want to manage that one. So that's call in radio.
41
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:16,000
It has the communication portion and then safety FM dot com with the visual radio. Of course, you can always go to radio big FM as well.
42
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:24,000
But if you're so inclined to do that stuff, because that's kind of where we kind of go about everything that we have discussions about.
43
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:36,000
No doubt there whatsoever. So with that being said, I have some people that are waiting from feature story news and they're wanting to talk to you and get the move and groove of stuff going on.
44
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:45,000
So why don't we go ahead and do that? We'll bring in our people from feature story news and we'll get that going right now with the news as we are speaking.
45
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:49,000
So here you go. Here's some news coming your way right now.
46
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:56,000
Here is the news on the Rosemar safety show from feature story news in the UK.
47
00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:04,000
I'm John Beaver. Around one thousand one hundred prisoners are due to be freed early from jails in England and Wales today.
48
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:11,000
It's part of efforts to ease prison overcrowding and follows the release of nearly two thousand prisoners in September.
49
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:25,000
In a bid to find a long term solution, the UK government is launching a sentencing review that will explore tougher punishments outside of prison while making sure there's space to incarcerate the most dangerous offenders.
50
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:35,000
Lord Timpson, Minister of State for Prisons, told the Prison Governors Association Conference that they were trying to repair the damage done by the previous government.
51
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:46,000
It hasn't been easy trying to rehabilitate offenders in a system teetering on the edge of disaster, a system that when we came into government has been run at 99 percent capacity for months.
52
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:51,000
None of this is your doing. In fact, the PGA has been sounding the alarm bell loud and clear.
53
00:07:51,000 --> 00:08:01,000
India and China have agreed on a border pact that will see both sides coordinating their patrolling routines to try and avoid any escalation in tensions.
54
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:12,000
The move is being hailed as a significant step towards restoring normal bilateral relations after the two sides were involved in a melee in 2020.
55
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,000
Ishank Gurg has more from New Delhi.
56
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:20,000
Reports say the border pact gives patrolling rights to both armies in two contested areas.
57
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,000
It's expected to restore some goodwill between the two armies.
58
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:30,000
Much of the India-China border is not demarcated and that has led to border disputes in many areas in the Himalayan region.
59
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:36,000
It's also expected that the two sides will eventually scale down their military presence in the disputed region.
60
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:45,000
The development comes just a day before Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Russia for the BRICS summit, where he is expected to meet President Xi Jinping.
61
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:52,000
And now analysts say there's every possibility that relations between the two Asian giants could finally move towards normalisation.
62
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:58,000
New research shows that hundreds more infants have died in the United States than expected.
63
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:03,000
Since the Supreme Court overturned abortion access in 2022.
64
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:10,000
Since then, more than 20 states have implemented bans or restrictions on the medical procedure.
65
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,000
Tony Waterman has more.
66
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:21,000
Researchers from the Ohio State University found a 7% spike in infant mortality in certain months following the Dobbs decision.
67
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:32,000
In October of 2022 and March and April of 2023, nearly 250 additional deaths were recorded on average per month.
68
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:39,000
The vast majority of the deaths were caused by congenital abnormalities, which previously would have led to abortions.
69
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:48,000
The researchers say their findings could be just the tip of the iceberg, since more states have implemented restrictions in the months after their study ended.
70
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,000
From bureaus worldwide, this is FSN.
71
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,000
With FSN Spotlight, I'm Simon Marks.
72
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:58,000
Looking in more detail today at Benjamin Netanyahu's possible strategy now in Lebanon.
73
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:06,000
Following the killing of Hezbollah's leader Hassan Nasrullah and the Israeli killing in Gaza last week of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwa,
74
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:11,000
the Americans are hoping that the Israeli leader might be persuaded back onto the diplomatic track.
75
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:15,000
But Prime Minister Netanyahu insists his war will continue.
76
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:23,000
Mark Lyle Grant is Britain's former national security adviser and the UK's former permanent representative at the United Nations.
77
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:31,000
Lebanon, unfortunately, is one of those countries where the state armed forces are not as strong as independent militias.
78
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:37,000
Hezbollah's army is undoubtedly more powerful than the Lebanese armed forces.
79
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:46,000
The way that Netanyahu is talking, he has his enemies both in Hezbollah, in Hamas, in Iran to some extent, the Houthis in Yemen,
80
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,000
on the back foot at the moment.
81
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:56,000
And I don't think he is minded to ease up that military pressure on Israel's enemies at a time when they are on the ground, as it were,
82
00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:04,000
and allow for some sort of ceasefire which would give them some respite potentially to rebuild their military strength.
83
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,000
So I think this conflict will continue for some time to go.
84
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:12,000
And in recent days Israel has broadened its targets, going after financial institutions in Lebanon,
85
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:16,000
believed essentially to serve as Hezbollah's banks.
86
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:19,000
With FSN Spotlight, I'm Simon Marks.
87
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:27,000
To recap the top stories, around 1,100 prisoners are due to be freed early from jails in England and Wales today,
88
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:30,000
as part of efforts to ease prison overcrowding.
89
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:39,000
India and China have agreed on a border pact that will see both sides coordinating their patrolling routines to avoid any escalation in tensions.
90
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:44,000
And new research shows that hundreds more infants have died in the United States than expected,
91
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:49,000
since the Supreme Court overturned abortion access in 2022.
92
00:11:49,000 --> 00:12:01,000
That's the latest Feature Story News, John Beaver reporting.
93
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:27,000

00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:23,000
We are now video streaming the Rated R Safety Show.
103
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:26,000
I don't know why our host has a face for radio.
104
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:30,000
Rated R Safety Show.
105
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:35,000
Hey, are you tired of hanging around and talking about safety in a boring kind of format?
106
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,000

Some are safety professionals.

00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,000
Some are just people that are talking about safety.
111
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:54,000
But we want to do it in a format that makes it fun and entertaining.
112

We'll be waiting for you.
123
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:30,000
Safety never sounded so terrible.
124
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,000
Rated R Safety Show.
125
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:39,000
It's always amazing to me on how technology changes and so does the environment that we're in.
126
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:46,000
And cyber criminals will do everything they can to take advantage of a system.
127
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:50,000
If you don't own a home, you have nothing to fear about what I'm about to tell you.
128
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:57,000
But if you own a home like me and you don't guard it with home title lock, you're inviting home title fraud.
129
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:00,000
One of the fastest growing crimes.
130
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:06,000
Cyber thieves around the world know our home values are sky high at the moment.
131
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:07,000
And that makes us a target.
132
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,000
The crime is scary. Simple.
133
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,000
Let me explain it to you real quick.
134
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:17,000
A cyber thief simply forges your name on a property cell form and refiles it.
135
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:18,000
That's it.
136
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:25,000
Now he or she is on the deed of your home and you have no idea that you're a victim.
137
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:28,000
Then the version takes out a loan on your home and vanishes.
138
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:31,000
And you need to prove to the police that you didn't commit bank fraud.
139
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:35,000
Home title locks put a virtual barrier around your home title.
140
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:42,000
The instant they detect any kind of tampering or anybody messing around, they help shut it down.
141
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:46,000
Look, if you have equity in your home, you need to guard it the best way that you can.
142
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:49,000
Some people might even go as far as guarding it with their life.

Radio.
156
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:17,000
OK, so here we are 17 minutes past the top of the hour as you and I are hanging out and doing our thing.
157
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:21,000
So don't worry about that because it's all with love, my friends, all with love.
158
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:24,000
OK, so with that being said, let's get into the shit list.
159
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:32,000
And if you don't know, you're about to know we're 14 days out from the election in case you were looking because, you know, you hadn't heard anybody else reference it.
160
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:39,000
September fundraising report shows starkly difference between spending and fundraising strategies between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.
161
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:45,000
Harris's showed the gangbusters month raising two hundred and twenty one point eight million dollars in spending about you ready for this?
162
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:54,000
Two hundred and twenty two million dollars on media buys and production. Trump's team spent fifty three million dollars on media, raising about sixty two million.
163
00:17:54,000 --> 00:18:01,000
Harris stumped in the swing states with Republican Liz Cheney or stumped on Monday.
164
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,000
I should I say stomped? I mean, I'm not sure.
165
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:09,000
I'm holding town hall style events and rallies in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin.
166
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:19,000
When asked about whether President Joe Biden intends to campaign for his VEEP, White House press secretary said that there was there will be more to come.
167
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:35,000
So the media and pundits are having a total normal one after Trump Sunday photo had Pennsylvania McDonald's where he worked on the frat at the friar basket of the drive through for the cameras in moments that went viral.
168
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:43,000
Yes. And the real clear politics average Harris leads in the national popular vote by forty nine point two to forty eight point three.
169
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:48,000
Trump leads the battleground states at forty eight point eight to forty seven point four.
170
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:51,000
Are we not talking about Arnold Palmer's anatomy today?
171
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:54,000
I mean, it wasn't that part of the political stuff as well.
172
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:57,000
I mean, I think it needs to be addressed because it was addressed.
173
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,000
I mean, I don't know.
174
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:07,000
Maybe you should do some some own investigative reporting in regards to some of the stuff that was referenced because that was kind of a weird one as things are going on.
175
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:10,000
But I mean, a lot of the stuff that's going on this election cycle is weird.
176
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:17,000
But then again, I feel like I say that every election cycle where I sit around and go, I'm not sure what exactly is going on anymore.
177
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:23,000
If it's politics or if it's entertainment, because it seems like a combination of both things.
178
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:24,000
That is for sure.
179
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:39,000
Anyways, follow up the 17 year old kayaker who was rescued after spending 12 hours stranded in the ocean last week says his biggest concern was all the worry about his disappearance was causing loved ones back at the land while he was missing.
180
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:43,000
Yeah, I said that out loud.
181
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:49,000
The longer I would be out there, I would mean that they would get more and more stress and more worried.
182
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:51,000
And I didn't want to put a burden on them.
183
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:54,000
This is according to Kauai that we said yesterday.
184
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:57,000
Tell us what he told the local media.
185
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:01,000
Ultimately, survival instincts kicked in.
186
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:06,000
He says, trying to stay within sight of land without drifting further out in the sea.
187
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:15,000
He focused on how how warm the sun would feel to fight of past past the shivering cold.
188
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,000
He says this is according to KITV.
189
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:18,000
Hold on.
190
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,000
What is going on with the 17 year old?
191
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:26,000
I mean, this sounds pretty intense in regards of a 17 year old saying all this shit.
192
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:32,000
We at safety FM are not responsible for what this idiot behind the microphone is saying.
193
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,000
He is trying to be entertaining.
194
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,000
Rated R safety show.
195
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,000
I don't know if it's about being entertaining.
196
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:46,000
I mean, I was just, I just sounds a little weird that a 17 year old was able to to maneuver and manage all of this stuff as he's talking.
197
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:49,000
I mean, I'm just throwing that out there for conversation purposes.
198
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:50,000
That's for sure.
199
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:58,000
So the nerds wallet survey shows that 28% of Americans are still paying off credit card bills that they ran up last year during Christmas.
200
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:11,000
Really? Holy sh the news comes as the National Retail Federation expects yet another annual uptick and to total spending in the last two months of the year up 989 billion.
201
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:20,000
Yes, 989 billion the amount of 1778 on average per American and 74% to put on your credit card.
202
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:21,000
This is according to CNBC.
203
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:22,000
Hold on.
204
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:23,000
I'm going to tell you something.
205
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:31,000
If you have to put like if you have to go into debt for Christmas stuff, it is definitely not worth it.
206
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,000
Definitely not worth the gig.
207
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:34,000
I'm just throwing that out there.
208
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:45,000
That sounds a little crazy to me that you'd want that you'd be real risky risking your finances to you know, put some Christmas thing on on dead.
209
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:46,000
But that's I mean, that's me.
210
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:50,000
I mean, I kind of go a little different sometimes with some things.
211
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:51,000
So there you go.
212
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:57,000
So some stuff to talk about as we are taking a gander and or at some things going on inside of the world.
213
00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:05,000
Okay, millennials might not be as financially strapped as they like to think they are at least compared to other generations.
214
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:13,000
Fortune looked at a report of the U.S. Bureau of Labor and Federal Reserve data that shows the typical net worth of American millennials.
215
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:23,000
People between the ages of 26 to 41 is 8.4% higher than Gen Xers and 46% higher than boomers at the same point in their lives.
216
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,000
Inflation adjusts, of course.
217
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:43,000
Even after shelling out the for their stuff, their star B's orders and avocado toast or whatever else Internet dorks say millennials consume millennials is 2020 in 2022 spent about 75% of their pre income tax.
218
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:50,000
While the same point in their lives, Gen Xers spent 83% and boomers spent 91%.
219
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:53,000
This is all according to Fortune magazine.
220
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:56,000
So we're noting many Xers.
221
00:22:56,000 --> 00:23:08,000
Yes, I am saying Xers, especially and especially boomers didn't also have the full of the flood of subscriptions or Internet and smartphone bills to keep up with either.
222
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:19,000
Also worth noting is that there was written by a 35 year old square, only 35 year old square in the middle of the millennial generation to save your emails.
223
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:20,000
So there you go.
224
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,000
So I don't know a lot of stuff.
225
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:25,000
I mean, I look at it from a different perspective.
226
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:33,000
People tend to do spending the way that they think that is going to be most interesting for them, opposed to it being one of those things where people go.
227
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:43,000
Oh yes, I spend money because you know, it seems like a good idea that I need to spend 76% 83% or 91% of my total pre income tax.
228
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:44,000
I don't know.
229
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:47,000
I look at it and I go slightly different with some of these things.
230
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:52,000
But hey, I guess that's where you to kind of look at and for me to kind of figure out when it's all said and done.
231
00:23:52,000 --> 00:24:02,000
If you really think about it, listen to the rated our safety show self implode on our airwaves only on safety FM.
232
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:08,000
Yeah, self implosion in airways is probably not a good mix of things, but I'm just throwing that out there as we are talking.
233
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:19,000
Anyways, the winner of the 2024 America's best restroom is located in Maverick service station near Salt Lake City International Airport.
234
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,000
You think this will become a traveler's destination?
235
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:24,000
I'm just asking the questions sponsored by Sintas.
236
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:36,000
The contest allows people to suggest bathrooms from around the country and attempt to find the cleanest, most innovative and most decorative abodes, notably includes hop shops in Florence, Kentucky,
237
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:48,000
Indiana caverns in it and in Indiana, of course, Kansas City Zoo and Aquarium in Kansas City, Missouri and Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
238
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:54,000
Yes, there is a best bathrooms or excuse me, best restrooms.
239
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:58,000
I'm not joking as I say that this is going to best restrooms.
240
00:24:58,000 --> 00:24:59,000
Let's find it.
241
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:04,000
If you go to best restrooms.com, that's where the source of information comes from.
242
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:17,000
I have to tell you, I mean, I know that Sintas is about, you know, helping out and doing whatever in regards to this, but I will say, I mean, I will put this up and not because, you know, I used to live in Texas.
243
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:31,000
It not because there's a couple of them here where I live in Florida currently, but I would put up Bucky's bathrooms, especially for, you know, a bathroom that the public can go into against a lot of the bathrooms that are out there in regards to cleanliness.
244
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:39,000
Now decorative, they're probably not as decorated as some people would hope, but that's a whole other story to talk about.
245
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:40,000
No doubt there.
246
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:50,000
Also, let's talk about some other things going on, but outside of clean bathrooms, because I think that this is going to be important, but former Iron Maiden singer Paul Deano has died.
247
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:58,000
He passed away at his home in Wiltshire on Monday, according to a statement from a family or his family.
248
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:06,000
A cause of death was not shared. Deano was the lead vocalist for the band from 1978 to 1981.
249
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:23,000
He was 66 at his time of his passing. I have to tell you, I keep on looking at some of this stuff and I'm mesmerized at times in regards to the ages of people passing because you always have this weird expectancy that, you know, they're going to be old before it happens.
250
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:29,000
Last week I was shocked when Liam from One Direction passed away.
251
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:36,000
Now you're taking a look at this. I mean, it's just amazing just to hear some of this stuff. I know kind of going off on a rant there, but it is weird.
252
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:41,000
It's just weird to see. Let's talk about the numbers because people are going to want to know about the Dow.
253
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:48,000
Yes, that's what happens. If I don't mention it, I get a call. I get I get the text. I get the video saying, hey, you didn't go over the numbers.
254
00:26:48,000 --> 00:27:04,000
So let's do that. The Dow lost about 344 points to close at forty two thousand nine hundred and thirty one and the S&P lost about 10 points to close at five thousand eight hundred and fifty three and the Nasdaq increased by 50 points to close at eighteen thousand five hundred and forty.
255
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:22,000
Texas West Texas Intermediate closed at seventy dollars a barrel. Brent Cruz was at seventy four dollars a barrel. The national average price of a gallon of gas was three dollars and seventeen cents on
