15
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:09,000
So keep that in mind as you go through those different platforms, even though everything draws into one, but that's a, that's a whole other story to talk about. And by the way, I mean, what's up with the blue sky thing?

16
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:17,000

Why not do sets a box office record and a pay discrepancy. We'll discuss that in casting call also Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were made in the U S for the holidays. Happy holidays. So there you go. I don't know if that was breaking news, but it did sound like it might be something important.

23
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:30,000
So just in case you don't know, our show is a radio show that is also a part of a podcast and a streaming show. And I'm talking about the video aspect, not anything else.

24
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:43,000
So you can find us on safety FM.com. You can find us on radio, big.fm also an I heart radio, all the Odyssey stuff. What else different, different podcast catchers. Cause that's what we do.

25
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:56,000
And the reason why you can find us there, if you're kind of have one of those cool kid ones, there are the live pod catchers now that as we are doing this in real time, it will start actually streaming to the podcast catcher.

26
00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:07,000
Uh, depending if you have the, if they have the fancy dances ones. Yeah. I'm just saying, I don't know. I try to keep up with what the hell's going on, but man, it's, it's an interesting life.

27
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:23,000
Uh, when it, when it's all said and done, you know, technology is great until it fails you. Uh, so yeah, let's talk about the failure thing real quick. When technology fails you, apparently when we did our little, our little stuff yesterday, uh, we didn't check our streamer.

28
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:40,000
So you heard us perfectly on the radio. You heard us on the podcast. And I mean, I guess it was 100% my issue, uh, that I did not verify that the stream was going on. So yeah, if you kind of didn't see us on the video yesterday, I was the one to blame right there.

29
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:59,000
Me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me 100% my fault because I thought that we had set everything up, but no, I failed. So there you go. Anyways, who cares about that? We're today. We're in a different day. So let's move forward with that. So with that being said, let's talk about what the hell's going on with the news.

30
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:05,000
I'm going to bring in the professionals with feature story news and they're going to talk about what the hell's going on.

31
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:23,000
Here is the news on the safety show from feature story news in London. I'm Ollie Barrett Vietnamese property tycoon, Trong Mai Lan has lost an appeal against her death sentence. She was convicted earlier this year of masterminding the world's biggest known bank fraud worth billions of dollars.

32
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:37,000
Vietnamese law says she would need to pay back 75% of what she embezzled to see her death sentence reduced to life imprisonment. UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer says Britain doesn't have to choose between the European Union and United States.

33
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:46,000
The prime minister's delivered a major foreign policy speech to push back against claims the UK will need to pick sides if Donald Trump's administration begins a trade war.

34
00:07:46,000 --> 00:08:00,000
The national interest demands that we work with both. Our relationship with the United States has been the cornerstone of our security and our prosperity for over a century. And we will never turn away from that.

35
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:13,000
Keir Starmer praised his own relationship with President-elect Donald Trump. And he also insisted the UK will continue to support Ukraine so it can be in the best position possible if there are peace talks with Moscow.

36
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:22,000
A judge in the US state of Delaware's reaffirmed her decision to rescind Elon Musk's stock option compensation package from his company Tesla.

37
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:31,000
Judge Kathleen McCormick ruled the deal was tainted by insufficient transparency and the high profile CEO's influence over the board. Ira Spitzer reports.

38
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:47,000
The judge's latest ruling criticized Tesla for providing material misstatements to shareholders and dismissed arguments from Elon Musk's lawyers as unsupported by precedent. The controversial pay package tied to ambitious performance milestones was initially approved in 2018.

39
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:56,000
At that time, the stock options were worth more than $50 billion, but are now worth more than $100 billion due to the electric vehicle maker's market performance.

40
00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:06,000
The decision leaves Tesla grappling with how to compensate the world's richest man and ally of President-elect Donald Trump while still managing shareholder costs.

41
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:15,000
Pakistan's former Prime Minister Imran Khan is now facing charges related to murder in addition to the over 100 corruption cases he's fighting from jail.

42
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:25,000
Khan has now been linked to the death of a paramilitary officer who was killed during last week's protests where tens of thousands of supporters of the former Prime Minister clashed with security teams.

43
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:28,000
Here are Mustafa reports from Islamabad.

44
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:37,000
Authorities alleged that Khan and his party's leadership incited their supporters to target security teams and vandalize government buildings last week.

45
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:44,000
They claim an over-speeding vehicle targeted security teams during the protests with an intention to kill the soldiers.

46
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:51,000
With this new case, the former Prime Minister becomes only the second in Pakistan's history to be charged with murder.

47
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:59,000
In 1974, former Prime Minister Zulfiqar Ali Putto was implicated in a murder case and later hanged to death.

48
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:05,000
Imran Khan's party says the latest case is an attack on Pakistan's democratic identity.

49
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:08,000
From bureaus worldwide, this is FSN.

50
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:15,000
With FSN Spotlight, I'm Simon Marks looking in more detail at the extraordinary events of the last few days in Syria.

51
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:25,000
The city of Aleppo captured in a surprise assault by opposition fighters battling on behalf of the jihadist group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham.

52
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:32,000
They oppose Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and the Russians who launched retaliatory airstrikes against them.

53
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:41,000
Russia has been responsible for propping up the Syrian leader and keeping him in power despite his murderous civil war against his own people.

54
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:47,000
Roland Oliphant with the UK's Daily Telegraph has reported from Syria on many occasions.

55
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:48,000
It's really a bit of a mystery.

56
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:55,000
I mean, I think something like this, which happened so quickly on Wednesday, took the world by surprise, took Syria watchers by surprise.

57
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,000
It doesn't happen without a lot of planning.

58
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:05,000
And I think we're still a little bit unclear about who was behind that planning and why they decided to go now.

59
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:14,000
But what's clear is that they are the rebel groups are taking advantage of the weakness amongst Assad's allies.

60
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:17,000
So he's basically exposed at the moment.

61
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:20,000
HDS fighters already control the city of Idlib.

62
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:24,000
They have an estimated 30,000 troops at their disposal.

63
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,000
The US has designated the group a terrorist organization.

64
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:37,000
Human rights groups claim it has been responsible for jihadist violence, including executions of people accused of blasphemy and adultery.

65
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:38,000
I'm Simon Marks.

66
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:44,000
To recap the top stories, Vietnamese property tycoon Trong Mai Lanz lost an appeal against her death sentence.

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer says Britain doesn't have to choose between the EU and the US.

68

because that's always going to be an important thing.

146
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:10,000
No, not really. That's not an important thing, but it's something to talk about.

147
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:14,000
That is for sure. Currently 19 minutes past the top of the hour.

148
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:18,000
Apparently, you know, you press the wrong button once and everything goes haywire.

149
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:23,000
That's for sure. But let's get into the shit list because that is why you are here.

150
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:33,000
So some internet prankster who got their hands on nron.com website domain and its X handle relaunched the company on, on Monday,

151
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:39,000
23 years after it declared bankruptcy to the casual I n run.com looks legitimate.

152
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:45,000
But the website copy offers a little more than a tight platitudes.

153
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:54,000
Yeah. When I say that as it does a promotional video shock full of a stock video footage and meaningless voiceovers

154
00:19:54,000 --> 00:20:00,000
with the word gems like changes only is the only constant underneath the underneath.

155
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:07,000
There's a video of a woman in a two to doing a ballet that they're doing on the website.

156
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:10,000
So you can take a look at it, but it's terms of use of the page.

157
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:16,000
They're clear. The information on the website or the first amendment protected by parody and represents the performance art.

158
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:21,000
And it's for entertainment purposes only. So spectacular performance indeed.

159
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:29,000
So just so you know, so I don't know. And so by the, by the way, for the, for the 30, 30 rock nerds, the nron spoof

160
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:37,000
ad is awfully close and babbly meaningless as the Gavin vultures, Sunstream watch. So there you go.

161
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:43,000
So, I mean, I don't know. Is it kind of fine? I guess, but you know, people are people.

162
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:52,000
It's going to be an interesting time when you see it, but I guess this is no different than the whole thing going on with the onion and a safety wars, not safety wars, info wars.

163
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:58,000
You see Jim Poehler has been messed up in my head in regards to safety wars and info wars, but it'll be interesting.

164
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:03,000
No doubt there in regards to what's going on. So let's, let's make sure we know that.

165
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:13,000
So with that being said, let's continue talking a little bit more about some other things in 2024 could prove to be the deadliest year in wild Florida.

166
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:23,000
Panther is nearly two decades old with at least 30 deaths so far this year, more than double the number from 2023 state conservatives are conservation lists.

167
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:39,000
Or conservation lists fear the total will surpass 24 2014 1242 the rise and death of detrimental to the already critical endangered species as they are only about 200 living in the state for what it is worth.

168
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:53,000
They're praying on these, these big cats, according to Florida fish and wildlife conservation commission, more than 75% of death have been attributed to very clear collisions.

169
00:21:53,000 --> 00:22:03,000
By the way, just as a verb purposes of talking about it, the floor of the Panther is the official state animal. So just in case you did not know that so endangered. Yeah, I guess.

170
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:12,000
But I mean, come on. It's a Panther. You know, it's not like you want to be hanging out and walking the road and seeing what does it do. What would you do if you hit that thing with a car?

171
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:22,000
I mean, I know you need to call and you know, take care of all that stuff. But man, yeah, you don't want to hit that. It's, oh, you'd be like, oh, let me go check on it. Come on.

172
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:25,000
Seriously, like, come on.

173
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:34,000
We at safety FM are not responsible for what this idiot behind the microphone is saying is trying to be entertaining.

174
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:52,000
We did our safety show. I'm not trying to be anything. So there you go. Anyways, president of the Ukraine Vladimir Suleymanovsky says that northern Korean soldiers dispatched to assist in Russia's war of aggression have been confirmed and killed in battle.

175
00:22:52,000 --> 00:23:09,000
In the interview, the Japanese outlet Kudo news Zelensky says the first wave of troops sent to the front lines have been treated particularly well by the Russians, at least by North Korean standards for the word to get back to the homeland and encourage even more to sign up to fight.

176
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:23,000
And let's see on even some grim note Zelensky called the North Korean troops cannon fodder cannon fodder suggesting they're just warm bodies to minimize troops casualties from Russia's military.

177
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:34,000
This is according to a key of independent. I don't know. I mean, I don't know. I mean, I look at it and go, what a crazy time in regards to some of this stuff going on. No doubt there.

178
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:39,000
So what do you think about this whole thing? I mean, I don't know.

179
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:50,000
What's in January is going to be fine. Let's let us look at that that way. But we're you know, it's only the third. So December. So let's have fun. What we have going on. Let's not let's not forget what's happening here.

180
00:23:50,000 --> 00:24:19,000
Okay. On the last screw, let's see culprits who were expected who expected porch piracy case, the delivery driver who delivered the package in the first place. A massive juices couple say that the doorbell camera shows that Amazon driver is setting down packages, taking photos to confirm the delivery with the app and then waiting for a few seconds for cars in the background to pass and then picking up the boxes right back and returning them to their vehicle.

181
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:37,000
Now word word yet whether Amazon has intervene on the driver has been axed. So I don't know. There's some stuff readily available for my bought by the Boston in regards to hold on to your regards of information that's readily available for it.

182
00:24:37,000 --> 00:25:06,000
So I don't know. I look at it from the standpoint of what is going on with Amazon packages that you know, this seems to be such a popular thing to occur because we talk about this more and more in regards of what's going on. But I mean, that's hardcore. When you're sitting down a package and then saying, hey, screw it. I'm just going to take the same one. But whatever. It's kind of kind of a weird thing. This time of the year gets so strange in regards to what people start doing in regards to taking packages and all that kind of stuff.

183
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:35,000
But I think that we talk about this all the time. I look at it from the standpoint of going how weird sometimes life can be when it comes to some of these things. Anyway, say listen to this Oxford dictionary word of the year is a brain rot. Yeah, brain rot. The term the term describes an individual's deteriorating mental state as a result of endlessly reading social media and feeds into the internet content of their handheld supercomputer.

184
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:54,000
Oxford's other contenders reward of the year included slop, dynamic pricing, rom, rom, okay, romentosy and lore. But the panel of 37 somewhat voters chose the winner via OUB word noting while the terms appropriate in the context of modern internet consumption.

185
00:25:54,000 --> 00:26:18,000
It is recorded and published to use in the book Walden by Henry David in the work conclusion after elaborating a notion to solitude and a loneliest. Yes. Well, in England endeavors to cure the potato rod will not only endeavor in brain rot, which prevails so much more wildly and fatally.

186
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:33,000
So there you go. A book that already had the stuff inside of it ahead of time. So there you go. There you go. What else is going on? Let's talk about the sick bay real quick. You might want to hear about this or what you might not. But let's talk about it.

187
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:52,000
Anyways, Harvey Weinstein is in the hospital after an alarming blood test as described by his lawyers, prison official transported Weinstein from Rikers Island to Bellevue hospital for treatment on Monday. Weinstein is waiting for a new trial connected to the sexual assault allegation.

188
00:26:52,000 --> 00:27:08,000
He previously undergone emergency heart surgery and also is receiving treatment for leukemia. So it sounds like it's all over the place as we are talking there. So there you go. So we'll see what ends up happening because one never knows. That's that's the case for sure.

189
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:29,000
Let's talk about the Dow because some people will care about knowing that stuff. So let's do that. The Dow lost about 128 points to close at forty four thousand seven hundred and eighty two on Monday. The S&P increased by 14 points to close at six thousand forty seven at the NASDAQ and increased by one hundred and eighty five points to close at nineteen thousand four hundred and three.

190
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:44,000
West Texas Intermediate closed at sixty eight dollars a barrel. Brent crude was at seventy one dollars a barrel. The national average price of a gallon of gas was three dollars and four cents on Monday and Bitcoin fell on Monday down one point seven percent trading just around ninety five thousand five hundred dollars.

191
00:27:44,000 --> 00:28:06,000
Tonight's mega million drawing will be for five hundred and forty one million dollar jackpot or two hundred fifty seven point six million dollar cash payout. So if you want to play the game you have the opportunity of doing so. So there you go. Some stuff to think about for sure as we are going through all of the information.

192
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:29,000
So let's talk about it. Another day another diddy lawsuit fashion designer Brenna Bona Bunglorian claims that she was molested by Sean Combs at one of his freak off parties back in 2016. She alleged she also alleges that he dangled her over a 17 floor 17th floor balcony in a fit of rage hearing her scream.

193
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:47,000
Combs then girlfriend Cassie came in and rescued her. Cassie referenced the incident in her lawsuit calling it one of the most one of the music moguls of many abuses throughout their relationships. Brianna is suing comes for ten million dollars.

194
00:28:47,000 --> 00:29:05,000
That's ten million dollars. So there you go. A lot of stuff there for sure. Take a listen to this. George Clooney feels like he was that he was made the scapegoat following Kamala Harris's election laws after putting his support behind her over Joe Biden's as the insistence of former

195
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:20,000
president Barack Obama. An insider tells Radar Online that Clooney is furious with Obama for disappearing after the election disaster and leaving him holding the bag for pushing the plan with his Hollywood pals.

196
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:35,000
Remember Clooney posted an op ed in July expressing concerns about Biden's mental acuity noting that the Democratic Party would not win in November with president with the president less than two weeks later Biden dropped out of the race.

197
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:46,000
It's been crickets from Obama ever since. This is according to Radar Online. So what do you think? I thought we were trying to get away from politics in regards to talking about them.

198
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:56,000
I mean at least not until January. But then again, you know, we had the the partying thing over the weekend and all this other stuff. So who knows? Who knows? Anyway, take a listen to this.

199
00:29:56,000 --> 00:30:22,000
Britney Spears is officially single woman again as of Monday, which was her 43rd birthday. The pop princess divorce was finalized. Let's see her her former husband Sam filed for divorce in August of 2023 after only 14 months of marriage. Thanks to thanks to a prenup. He was left with virtually nothing though Spears did pay for his rent for a while.

200
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:39,000
I guess that was nice of her. Where was he living after the afterwards? I mean, I don't know. I'm just asking. I'm just asking the question, man. I don't know. I don't know. It's kind of gets weird. Okay, take a listen to this one or two gross $221 million of the domestic box office over the weekend.

201
00:30:39,000 --> 00:31:08,000
Setting a new record for a five day holiday frame. The previous record was it back in 2019 frozen? Yeah, frozen had 125 million. So think about the difference there. The Disney flick also made the biggest five day debut in history surpassing Universal's The Super Mario Brothers movie that had $205.6 million. That's according to variety, variety. If you want to know that stuff. So there you go. What do you think?

202
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:27,000
I mean, some people were really waiting around expecting that. What was it like a seven year delay from the time that the original came out to the sequel? I mean, I'm just asking because listen, some people really love that stuff. I will tell you. I have already went to see it. This is what happens when you have kids.

203
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:54,000
And I think that the biggest complaint out of the whole thing graphically, it's beautiful is that it did not have the same songwriter that it had for the first one, which was the guy that did Hamilton. And of course you're going to ask me for the name and I'm not going to remember though, because he's out there doing the Mufasa movie. That's why he didn't return him on. I mean, and if you're into the music stuff, Hey, good for you, but you know, there, there seemed to be a lot of a more on holy passion. I mean, I'm sorry, but a lot of my friends are going to be like, Oh, I'm going to be a good singer.

204
00:31:54,000 --> 00:32:09,000
There seemed to be a lot of a more on holy passion. I mean, I'm sorry, but a lot more passion during the, during the first one, I'm just saying, but it's not a bad movie. I mean, if you're into that stuff, so there you go. Anyways, 32 minutes past the top of the hour.

205
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:17,000
And you know what we need to do? Well, we need to talk about our main story. So why don't we go ahead and just do that right now? It sounds like a good plan.

206
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:29,000
Like a seriously a good plan. What's the main story? I always love when I hit these buttons and then they go, Oh yeah. I don't want to work today after I've been working for the hot minute. Maybe it's too cold here. Who knows?

207
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:45,000
Here is our main story on the Rated R safety show. Okay. So let's talk about some of this stuff because listen, it is always the utter, the utter utter utter craziness after coming back from an extended, extended time.

208
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:58,000
And I know yesterday I did some videos and we talked a little bit about stuff related to roller coasters, but let's talk about the important thing here. I mean, that was important, but let's talk about the important thing about getting back to work.

209
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:08,000
And for the people that were gone for the last few days, because Hey, it was a holiday and we're about to go into some more holidays here in a couple of weeks.

210
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:16,000
People get back in, they're not into it because let's, let's kind of talk about this real quick. You're either playing catch up with the month of December or it's a wash.

211
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:28,000
And what do I mean by playing catch up? If your physical year from a business perspective ends in December, you know that you're doing everything to get those books closed and trying to get everything ready.

212
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:43,000
That way you're not doing half of that shit when you get into 20, 25. But if it's not, then it's kind of a wash month because people are looking at what party is going on. What's the next step? Who's who's going on vacation? Who's not going to be around?

213
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:56,000
And I'm not saying that people overall in a guilty as charged by the way, meaning me when I used to work in corporate America, I look at it in that people will do some kind of some strange things.

214
00:33:56,000 --> 00:34:08,000
Cause you're looking around trying to see what's going on, you know, taking, taking the flavor for the room. And I will tell you, I worked in an organization, one of the last organizations that I worked in, and I was working in a company that was doing a lot of work.

215
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:19,000
And I was taking, taking the flavor for the room. And I will tell you, I worked in an organization, one of the last organizations that I worked at repeating letter three times that would do something very weird.

216
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:34,000
It wasn't a Christmas bonus. It was a bonus that they handed out in the month of December. And it was a discrepancy or not discrepancy, but you know, at their leisure on however they wanted to, or they wanted to hand those things out.

217
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:50,000
And people would sit around and wait and wanting to see who was going to get them and who wasn't. And it was always interesting to me as I took a look around as people were talking on who a discretionary bonus, the, and who would get them and who wouldn't.

218
00:34:50,000 --> 00:35:06,000
And it was always an interesting aspect because if you were not in operations in this organization, you weren't getting it. Like automatically you could already say that you could sit back and say it wasn't going to happen.

219
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:21,000
So what's going on then? So now all of a sudden you're looking at a lot of, a lot of these things and saying, okay, what am I going to do? Why am I carrying? And what am I doing overall? Because I didn't get it.

220
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:38,000
It besides whining, I looked at it from the standpoint of this, guess what? I'm not focusing on what I need to be doing for my job. So trying to keep people engaged in the month of December, I think is one of the hardest things to do when it comes to focusing on work.

221
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:53,000
So as you look at this, what are the techniques and strategies that you have used in the month of December? Because listen, there is so much going on in regards to that timeline.

222
00:35:53,000 --> 00:36:08,000
So what would you do differently or what would you do period in regards to getting things to work? Now I have seen people do what they call the safety bullets, which means that they hang out in a parking lot at your workplace.

223
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:13,000
Of course, not just some random, some random parking lot, but you hang out in the parking lot of your workplace.

224
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:23,000
And you're handing out stuff that have references to safety. Some people have handed out cookies and those safety bullets, bottles of water, protein bars, you name it.

225
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:31,000
And they've done it to see if they can get attention on when people are coming in or leaving. Now, the problem is depending on where you work, it can be dark.

226
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:40,000
First thing in the morning or last thing in the afternoon. So you have to make your pick or you can do the blitz inside of the inside of the office itself.

227
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:45,000
Some people even have went as far of doing their, a lot of their fire alarms things.

228
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:47,000
Like they're testing of it.

229
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:56,000
And then turning in that into a safety blitz. I don't know if that's the best recommendation because now you're combining a whole bunch of stuff at one time, but it's entirely up to you.

230
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:08,000
So keep that in mind as we are talking. Anyways, I don't know. I just look at it from the standpoint of what is your trick and what do you think works best?

231
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:14,000
Leave some notes there in the comments because it's always a good time to hear what people have to say about what they are doing.

232
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:24,000
Oops, what did he just say? We at Safety FM don't always agree with the viewpoints of our hosts and guests. Now back to real safety talk on Safety FM.

233
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:31,000
Don't go anywhere. You're listening to the home of real safety talk. You're listening to Safety FM. We'll be right back.

234
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:37,000
It's always amazing to me on how technology changes and so does the environment that we're in.

235
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:48,000
And cyber criminals will do everything they can to take advantage of a system. If you don't own a home, you have nothing to fear about what I'm about to tell you.

236
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:55,000
But if you own a home like me and you don't guard it with home title lock, you're inviting home title fraud.

237
00:37:55,000 --> 00:38:04,000
One of the fastest growing crimes. Cyber thieves around the world know our home values are sky high at the moment and that makes us a target.

238
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:15,000
The crime is scary simple. Let me explain it to you real quick. A cyber thief simply forges your name on a property cell form and refiles it. That's it.

239
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:27,000
Now he or she is on the deed of your home and you have no idea that you're a victim. Then the person takes out a loan on your home and vanishes and you need to prove to the police that you didn't commit bank fraud.

240
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:38,000
Home title locks put a virtual barrier around your home title. The instant they detect any kind of tampering or anybody messing around, they help shut it down.

241
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:45,000
Look, if you have equity in your home, you need to guard it the best way that you can. Some people might even go as far as guarding it with their life.

242
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:59,000
Go to home title lock.com and register your address to see if you already are a victim and enter the code radio. That's R.A.D.I.O. That's the code radio for 30 days free of protection.

243
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:09,000
That's code radio at home title lock.com. More sarcasm than a mortal combat beatdown. Rated R. Safety Show.

More sarcasm than a Mortal Kombat beatdown. Rated R Safety Show.

256
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:51,000
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.

257
00:41:51,000 --> 00:42:02,000
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.

258
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:11,000
You've probably seen life insurance commercials on TV and thought, yeah, I'll look into it later. Well, the answer is no. This isn't something that you can wait for.

267
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:41,000
Okay, here we go. Rated R safety show. 44 minutes past the top of the hour.

268
00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:54,000
Yep. Yep. That right there that you hear playing is a band called Pacific with why or excuse me with W Y A F.

269
00:44:55,000 --> 00:45:04,000
Songs readily available on Spotify, Apple Music and YouTube music.

270
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:12,000
You know, a plethora of places to go to. So there you go.

271
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:19,000
So we would like to thank Pacific for allowing us to play this year on the Rated R safety show.

272
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:25,000
Yeah, I want to be with you all forever.

273
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:34,000
So there you go. Yep. Let's get back into the move in the groove of things going on inside of our world.

274
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:41,000
Because it's always important to talk about. So let's talk about this because I think that this is going to be important.

275
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:47,000
And this is going to probably be the most important thing that I ever share in my lifetime with you.

276
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:55,000
And that's about my friends at Detroit Love on our Arms. And let me explain this because some people go, well, why are you talking about this?

277
00:45:56,000 --> 00:46:00,000
Well, we talk about mental health all the time because I think it's so important because it's a subject that most people don't want to touch.

278
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:04,000
And I bring it up because I think it's so important.

279
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:13,000
It's okay not to be okay. And some people have a hard time understanding that because not everything in the world is perfect.

280
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:19,000
I mean, you can hang out here on virtually any social media and some people will tell you how perfect the world is.

281
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:25,000
And that's not reality. It's like, hey, I want to show you that I live this perfect life and I don't.

282
00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:29,000
And that's what we kind of hold our standards to.

283
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:36,000
So as you look at this and think about mental health, understand that things are not perfect.

284
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:42,000
And there's techniques and there's things that are available out there for you to look at and go, this might work for me.

285
00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:46,000
This might not work for me. So there's a number of different things to do.

286
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:52,000
So let's talk about this real quick. Let's talk about my friends at TWLOHA.com.

287
00:46:53,000 --> 00:47:01,000
Those are my friends at Two Right Love on our Arms. You can go to their website, TWLOHA.com and click on the section this time that says self-care.

288
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:06,000
Once you do that, you're going to see all kinds of stuff there.

289
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:09,000
We all have mental health issues, is what it's going to say.

290
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:14,000
But we all don't start with the same skills or support needed to maintain it.

291
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:20,000
Start building your mental health resiliency today through an introductory mental health toolkit.

292
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:26,000
And once you get there, there is a toolkit of all kinds of information of things you can do.

293
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:34,000
How you can support your basic mental health, how you can take a look at healing, recovering, and doing all the things possible.

294
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:42,000
I mean, there's all kinds of stuff there. And during this time of the year, it's mostly really difficult for some people because of the holidays.

295
00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:50,000
So, TWLOHA.com and click on the section this time related to mental health.

296
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:55,000
It's the mental health toolkit that you can find there at Two Right Love on our Arms.

297
00:47:56,000 --> 00:48:01,000
So, there you go. Let's continue talking a little bit about some things that are going on inside of the multiverse.

298
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:07,000
Because, hey, that is kind of what we do around here. We talk about a little bit about everything because that's what we do.

299
00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:14,000
So, if you're a California king-size bed just isn't big enough for you, don't lose sleep over it.

300
00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:22,000
The Alaska might be the best thing for you. Available now, the Alaskan King mattress, also known as the Alberta King,

301
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:31,000
which measures the enormous 9 feet by 9 feet, are said to be becoming increasingly popular with pro athletes, especially NBA players.

302
00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:37,000
Properly understand how much floor space you'll need to fit one of those monstrosities into your bedroom.

303
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:43,000
Imagine two full-size beds jammed together, then add another 28 inches.

304
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:50,000
The Alaskan King said they're large enough and comfortable to accommodate four adults.

305
00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:58,000
Although the Mega Mattress Company advertises for co-sleeping with children and pets.

306
00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:04,000
People lying down on the Alaskan said that they appear nearly comically tiny.

307
00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:12,000
It's because they usually are custom-made to sell for upwards of close to $5,000 US.

308
00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:17,000
And they're definitely a niche product, mainly to higher-income buyers.

309
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:22,000
So, there you go. You get your daily steps in by making the bed.

310
00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:27,000
And I couldn't even afford the linen for one of those things. Just keep that in mind.

311
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:34,000
And yes, I think I saw some people using one of those on a movie once or so. So, there you go.

312
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:41,000
I don't know. I look at it and go, that is a monstrosity of a bed if you're talking a 9 by 9.

313
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:47,000
So, there you go. If you go looking for it, what is it going to cost you?

314
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:51,000
And are you willing to pay it? Because that's going to be the other side of the equation.

315
00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:55,000
Anyways, with that being said, why don't we bring some John Smalls into our life?

316
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:59,000
Because I think that that's going to be important. Because he's always trying to bring us some motivation.

317
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:02,000
So, let's do that right now. Seriously.

318
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:06,000
The Motivation Minute is brought to you by GenesisGoldIRA.com.

319
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:08,000
The Motivation Minute.

320
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:10,000
Today's story was submitted by Monica.

321
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:17,000
Bob May, the writer of the story, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, had a brother-in-law, Johnny, who was a successful songwriter.

322
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:23,000
Johnny Marks set the uplifting story to music. The song was pitched to Bing Crosby, but he didn't like it.

323
00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:27,000
It was then sent to dozens of other singers, who all turned the little deer song down.

324
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:29,000
Finally, Marks approached Gene Autry.

325
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:32,000
The Cowboy star had recently scored a hit with Here Comes Santa Claus.

326
00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:36,000
Like all the others, Autry was not impressed, but his wife loved the story.

327
00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:41,000
She was touched by the line they wouldn't let poor Rudolph play in any reindeer games.

328
00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:43,000
So, she insisted her husband record the tune.

329
00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:48,000
Well, within a few years, it became the second best-selling Christmas song of all time.

330
00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:51,000
The Motivation Minute.

331

00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:07,000
Hello, I'm Richard Exley with your One-Minute Devotion.

335
00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:09,000
When dealing with life, you need to know the rules.

336
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:15,000
Number one, don't give up too soon. Never put a period where God has only placed a comma.

337
00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:21,000
Two, don't beat a dead horse. When God inserts a period, it's time to move on.

338
00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:25,000
When He said old things have passed away, it's time to let go.

339
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:29,000
Number three, don't demand an explanation.

340
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:37,000
Throw out your why questions. Trust Him, even when you cannot understand why things worked out the way they did.

341
00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:46,000
Philippians 4 says, The peace of God which transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

342
00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:55,000
Lord Jesus, help us to trust You, even if You never tell us why things turned out the way they did. Amen.

343

From Feature Story News in London, I'm Oli Barrett.

345
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:35,000
Vietnamese property tycoon Trong Mai Lan has lost an appeal against her death sentence.

346
00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:42,000
She was convicted earlier this year of masterminding the world's biggest known bank fraud worth billions of dollars.

347
00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:50,000
Vietnamese law says she would need to pay back 75% of what she embezzled to see her death sentence reduced to life imprisonment.

348
00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:56,000
UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer says Britain doesn't have to choose between the European Union and United States.

349
00:52:57,000 --> 00:53:05,000
The Prime Minister's delivered a major foreign policy speech to push back against claims the UK will need to pick sides if Donald Trump's administration begins a trade war.

350
00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:08,000
The national interest demands that we work with both.

351
00:53:09,000 --> 00:53:17,000
Our relationship with the United States has been the cornerstone of our security and our prosperity for over a century.

352
00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:19,000
And we will never turn away from that.

353
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:23,000
Keir Starmer praised his own relationship with President-elect Donald Trump.

354
00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:31,000
And he also insisted the UK will continue to support Ukraine so it can be in the best position possible if there are peace talks with Moscow.

355
00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:40,000
A judge in the US state of Delawes reaffirmed her decision to rescind Elon Musk's stock option compensation package from his company Tesla.

356
00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:48,000
Judge Kathleen McCormick ruled the deal was tainted by insufficient transparency and the high profile CEO's influence over the board.

357
00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:50,000
Ira Spitzer reports.

358
00:53:51,000 --> 00:54:00,000
The judge's latest ruling criticized Tesla for providing material misstatements to shareholders and dismissed arguments from Elon Musk's lawyers as unsupported by precedent.

359
00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:06,000
The controversial pay package tied to ambitious performance milestones was initially approved in 2018.

360
00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:15,000
At that time, the stock options were worth more than $50 billion but are now worth more than $100 billion due to the electric vehicle maker's market performance.

361
00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:24,000
The decision leaves Tesla grappling with how to compensate the world's richest man and ally of President-elect Donald Trump while still managing shareholder costs.

362
00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:33,000
Pakistan's former Prime Minister Imran Khan is now facing charges related to murder in addition to the over 100 corruption cases he's fighting from jail.

363
00:54:33,000 --> 00:54:43,000
Khan has now been linked to the death of a paramilitary officer who was killed during last week's protests where tens of thousands of supporters of the former Prime Minister clashed with security teams.

364
00:54:44,000 --> 00:54:46,000
Here are Mustafa reports from Islamabad.

365
00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:55,000
Authorities alleged that Khan and his party's leadership incited their supporters to target security teams and vandalize government buildings last week.

366
00:54:55,000 --> 00:55:02,000
They claim an over-speeding vehicle targeted security teams during the protests with an intention to kill the soldiers.

367
00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:09,000
With this new case, the former Prime Minister becomes only the second in Pakistan's history to be charged with murder.

368
00:55:10,000 --> 00:55:17,000
In 1974, former Prime Minister Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto was implicated in a murder case and later hanged to death.

Well, well, I guess you were Prime Minister. Is it a Prime Minister? Or I don't know.

372
00:55:58,000 --> 00:56:05,000
Anyways, Mikhail Gavrichev issued a separate statement following the summit of Malta that suggested the Cold War is coming to an official close.

373
00:56:06,000 --> 00:56:18,000
Following the years of work with Ronald Reagan, it was up to Bush to seal the deal, the President accredited freedom reform across the Soviet Empire and bringing the two nations closer together.

374
00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:25,000
So there you go. That happened back in 20, not in 20, nothing 1989. So just so you know.

381
00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:35,000
Also, what, if you need a phone, sorry, try this. What invention doesn't get a lot of love, but has it greatly improved the world?

382
00:57:36,000 --> 00:57:49,000
If you need a question for the water cooler, try this. A survey of kids ages between five and eight were asked, who is the, who in the family do you think deserves Christmas presents the most?

383
00:57:49,000 --> 00:58:00,000
The number one answer was mom. What was number two? Number two was myself. So there you go. It's an interesting thought. That is for sure.

00:58:27,000 --> 00:58:35,000
If I can't leave you with a deep thought for today, I would love to leave you with this. If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.

388
00:58:36,000 --> 00:58:44,000
Think about that. It'll take you to places you did not expect. That is for sure. Anyways, I know who you are.
