Forget the corporate bullshit. This is the Rated R safety show with your host, Dr. It doesn't matter who the host is.
10
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:24,320
Oh, you so know it and so do I. It does not matter who the host is. What has always mattered is who the listeners are.

So anyways, today is Wednesday, you know that lovely whip them out Wednesday, December the 11th of 2024, day 346 of the year and only 20 days left to go.
12
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:54,320
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.
13
00:02:54,320 --> 00:03:07,320
Free for radio never sounded this great. Radio. I would say it has not until we came into the sequence of events or something along those lines.
14
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:15,320
Anyway, so how are you? I hope everything was good and grand over the last, you know, after since the last time we hung out now.
15
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:27,320
Always some assumptions there in regards of what is going on. So listen, I have to tell you, have you sat ever in your house and had a remodeling done?
16
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:41,320
Yeah, like a remodel of your house. Yeah, I've been going through that and you know, it's neither here nor there. It's like you get to you go, you leave the house, you go to the studio, you come back and there's still dust and people doing crap all over the place.
17
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:47,320
Good fun. Few months of in regards to getting everything done. But what is there to complain about?
18
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:54,320
I think my wife's not too happy that I'm trying to do it during the holidays, but I think that's probably a more me thing than a her thing because she hasn't said anything.
19
00:03:54,320 --> 00:04:02,320
But I think it's probably more on me than her, but we'll leave it here or there. So let's talk real quick about what we do around here.
20
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:14,320
Show consist of safety in the news, news and safety. That's kind of what we do. We are a radio show that has a podcast that goes into a streaming video service. Yeah, that's kind of how it goes.
21
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:27,320
It's the outtake of the lands. So we go from here. We broadcast on safety FM and we broadcast on radio big FM. We're also an I heart radio in Odyssey.

25
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:10,320

29
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:43,320
Here is what was trending. Rated R. Safety Show.
30
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:48,320
Okay. So as I start taking a look at the trends at the end of the end.
31
00:05:48,320 --> 00:06:03,320

Also, movie critics are having are raving about Lion King's movie and Jeremy Allen White voices a character in the new Star Wars movies.

We'll talk about that as we get into casting calls and also King Charles fondly remembers his mother's or his mother's his mother in the Royals.
34
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:33,320
So we'll talk about that stuff as we get into it. So now I'll say it. If you're good, I'm good. We're good and we can move forward.
35
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:40,320
So let's do a lot of that stuff because I think that that's going to be important. So let's do this. Bring in our friends from feature story news.
36
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:48,320
Let them tell you about what's going on because there has been quite a bit happening since the last time we hung out.
37
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:56,320
So we will give you the recap and the update of everything going on right there. So let's go ahead and do that right now.
38
00:06:56,320 --> 00:07:03,320
Here is the news on the safety show from feature story news in London. I'm Oli Barrett.
39
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:10,320
Israel's confirmed it carried out airstrikes in Syria as part of efforts to neutralize military assets after the fall of the Assad regime.
40
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:20,320
Israeli officials also say Syria's naval fleet has been destroyed. Arab states have criticized Israel's strikes and its movement of troops in the Syrian border areas.
41
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:27,320
Jotun Konfino is the Middle East correspondent for The Telegraph and says Israel believes it has to take an opportunity.
42
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:31,320
Securing the border and then making sure that Assad's army is destroyed.
43
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:43,320
According to the Israeli army, there is an estimate of roughly 80 percent of his army being fully destroyed from naval to helicopters, planes, chemical weapons.
44
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:51,320
So it's really just Israel seizing the opportunity and making sure that whoever takes over doesn't have all of these weapons available.
45
00:07:51,320 --> 00:08:00,320
In Syria's capital, Damascus, many people have been returning to work and shops reopening with the new prime minister calling for a period of stability and calm.
46
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:05,320
South Korea's opposition is planning a new impeachment motion against President Yun Suk-yeol.
47
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:13,320
It'll be the Democratic Party's second attempt over Yun's failed bid to impose martial law earlier this month. Chris Gilbert reports.
48
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:18,320
The Democratic Party or DP is set to introduce the motion on Thursday with a vote on Saturday.
49
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:27,320
The bill is expected to contain allegations that Yun directly ordered martial law troops to seal off the National Assembly and arrest lawmakers amounting to an act of insurrection.
50
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:34,320
The opposition holds just over half of South Korea's National Assembly, but impeachment motions need two thirds support to pass.
51
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:44,320
The DP's first attempt at impeachment, which came only days after Yun's announcement and then verification of martial law, failed after Yun's party boycotted the vote.
52
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:48,320
The DP has since vowed to push for impeachment every week. Chris Gilbert in Tokyo.
53
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:54,320
The man accused of shooting a health care boss dead is intending to fight his extradition to New York.
54
00:08:54,320 --> 00:09:00,320
Luigi Mangione is currently being held in Pennsylvania, where he was arrested following a nationwide manhunt.
55
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:09,320
Firefighters continue to battle a fast-moving wildfire in the Californian city of Malibu, and thousands of people remain under evacuation orders.
56
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:16,320
Some students at a local university have been forced to shelter in the school's library. Ira Spitzer reports.
57
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:24,320
The Franklin fire erupted in Malibu, fueled by powerful dry winds blowing from the mountains toward the southern California coast.
58
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:33,320
Residents reported seeing the hillside covered in flames and the fire cross the Pacific Coast Highway with wind gusts of close to 100 kilometers an hour.
59
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:39,320
At Pepperdine University, several hundred students sheltered in place in the school's library overnight.
60
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:45,320
Malibu has opened other evacuation sites with power shut down across parts of the coastal city of 10,000 people.
61
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:54,320
The National Weather Service has issued a red flag warning indicating a particularly dangerous situation for parts of Los Angeles and Ventura counties.
62
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:56,320
Ira Spitzer, San Francisco.
63
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,320
From bureaus worldwide, this is FSN.
64
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:09,320
With FSN Spotlight, I'm Simon Marks with more today on Syria and the leader of the HTS rebels who ousted Bashar al-Assad from power last weekend.
65
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:19,320
His name is Abu Mohammed al-Jolani, although that is a nom de guerre, redolent of the fact that his movement is still designated a terrorist organization by the United States.
66
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:30,320
But he says he's put his desire for violent jihad behind him and now wants to play a role unifying Syria after more than two decades of the Assad dictatorship's brutality.
67
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:41,320
Emma Beals, a non-resident fellow at the Middle East Institute and senior advisor at the European Institute of Peace, says there are preliminary signs that he might have changed his ways.
68
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:54,320
We've seen significant changes in how he has conducted himself, and I think he kind of made a choice that actually he's more interested in a leadership role in Syria than transnational jihadist threats.
69
00:10:54,320 --> 00:11:08,320
If he takes over an enormous amount of power, and that's still to be seen, would he rule in a way that the majority of Syrians who rose up against the government and have gone through these 14 years of pain like to see?
70
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:13,320
That's a separate question, and I think the answer to that is potentially not.
71
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:28,320
She says it is still far from evident that Al Jelani will build a truly inclusive government in Syria or even pave the way for an electoral process there, which is why so many international observers are expressing caution about the country's future.
72
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:36,320
To recap the top stories, Israel's confirmed it carried out airstrikes in Syria as part of efforts to neutralize military assets after the fall of the Assad regime.
73
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:41,320
In Syria's capital, Damascus, many people have been returning to work and shops reopening.
74
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:54,320
South Korea's opposition is planning a new impeachment motion after President Yun Suk-yeol over his attempts to impose martial law, and the man accused of shooting a health care boss dead is intending to fight his extradition to New York.
75
00:11:54,320 --> 00:12:11,320

Another great hour of freeform radio. Or is it radio big?
102
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:45,320
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.
103
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:57,320

Okay, here we go. Currently 17 minutes past the time of the hour as you and I are hanging out on this lovely Whip-Em-Out Wednesday.
118
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:53,320
So it is time to talk about some of the stuff that is going on inside of the world of the news, because what else would we be doing if we weren't doing that?
119
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:58,320
Like, seriously, I have to give it some serious consideration about everything that is going on.
120
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:05,320
Some people get so hung up on regards of the things with the news, but I like it because, hey, there's always stuff to talk about.
121
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:08,320
If we weren't talking about the new stuff, I don't know what we would be doing.
122
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:13,320
So let's get into it right away because I need to ask the question.
123
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:18,320
What are your plans for these holiday, you know, stuff that's coming up?

129
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:45,320
Yeah. So I wouldn't return until the second. That seems like a long time.
130
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:52,320
I might drive myself crazy. I mean, what am I going to do without you for that kind of period of time?
131
00:18:52,320 --> 00:19:00,320
But then again, you know, there's been talks that maybe we do year in review 26, 27, let's see, 30th and 31st.
132
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,320
So I don't know. I mean, there's a lot of stuff to talk about there.
133
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:07,320
Maybe we can do some of that stuff. Maybe we'll talk about it.
134
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:13,320
Nobody ever knows what we're doing, but let's talk about what's on tap because I think that's going to be important.
135
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:18,320
So it's not just you. People really are getting dumber. Hold on.
136
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:26,320
Let me explain here. The program of for the International Assessment of Adult Competency tested one hundred and sixty thousand people
137
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:30,320
around the world in 31 industrialized countries.
138
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:37,320
It's the fourth time they've conducted the program, the program previously completed in 2012, 2014 and 2017.
139
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:46,320
The result shows that 34 percent of American test takers have the basic math skills of a primary school student.
140
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:57,320
Up from 29 percent in 2017, similarly, the number of Americans unable to demonstrate basic literacy rose from 19 percent to 28 percent.
141
00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:03,320
This is according to the NCES.
142
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:13,320
So what do you think here? I mean, listen, I'm not I'm just saying I'm giving data and that's what pisses people off sometimes is that I give data.
143
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:19,320
And it's cool to get upset about weird stuff. But what do you think?
144
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:25,320
How do you feel about it? I mean, you get to interact out there and see a lot of stuff going on.
145
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:30,320
I mean, there is kind of a debate all the time about some of this stuff.
146
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:35,320
So I don't know. So anyway, single listen to this move over Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
147
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:40,320
Gen Z is ushering in Klarna week. Yeah, is that it?
148
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:53,320
Klarna week named after the unobiscus by now pay later service there that's saddling the youngest Americans with even more consumer debt to finance their Christmas season
149
00:20:53,320 --> 00:21:05,320
gifts, giving other purchases financial literacy app French, which cater specifically to young demographic shows that Gen Z buys now pay later purchases are up 31 percent year over year.
150
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:10,320
Separately, their credit card debt is nearly 50 percent over the same period.
151
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:26,320
Unlike credit cards, buy now pay later applies to individual purchases online shopping carts. The finance plans encourage with no debt when paid off over a period of a few weeks, but it carries heavy interest in penalties for late payments.
152
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:41,320
It gets worse late fees for credit card payments for Gen Z's have climbed up 14 percent. Go figure more than 52 percent of Gen Z years say that they're more anxious about the end of the year finances that they that they were last December.
153
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:47,320
Shame. Only 12 percent of respondents said that they would actually admit to using buy now pay later options.
154
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:52,320
Fake it until you make it when you go bankrupt via your Tango.
155
00:21:52,320 --> 00:22:02,320
Is what's going on there. Also, meanwhile, serving by financial firm and power shows that on the average Gen Z believes that they need to earn an annual salary. Are you ready for this?
156
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:12,320
Of five hundred eighty seven thousand seven hundred and ninety seven dollars and a net worth of nine point four seven million dollars to achieve financial success.
157
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:14,320
So there's that.
158
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:17,320
So what do you think?
159
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:30,320
Almost six hundred thousand dollars a year in annual salary. I mean, who doesn't want that and then achieve nine point four seven million dollars for financial success.
160
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:38,320
Seriously, I mean, I don't know. I look at it and I go, that seems like number one, a crazy amount of money.
161
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:48,320
And I look at it and go, wow, what a strange world we live in. That's what we're looking at. And I don't know how you feel about the buy now pay later stuff.
162
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:54,320
But man, consumer debt is crazy. If you ever want to establish.
163
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:57,320
A way of not becoming.
164
00:22:57,320 --> 00:23:02,320
Financially successful have a lot of consumer debt.
165
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:13,320
And I only say that because take a look at some of the fees that are out there, like some of the interest fees, they range anywhere from nine percent unless you're extremely blessed all the way up to 30 percent.
166
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:19,320
And I don't know anything that I can think of off a return of investment where you get up to 30 percent.
167
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:24,320
So if you don't use the cards, that would definitely be the way that you would return that investment.
168
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:33,320
We at safety FM are not responsible for what this idiot behind the microphone is saying is trying to be entertaining.
169
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:35,320
We're to our safety show.
170
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:46,320
OK, so take a listen to this. Last summer, Dennis Wynn, 72 year old retired New Jersey fire captain living in Florida, fired a nine millimeter round at an aerial drone buzzing over his home.
171
00:23:46,320 --> 00:24:02,320
The drone itself was was harmless. A small team from Drone Up Delivery, a company partnering with Wal-Mart to deliver packages, was nearby testing a mechanism that would lower packages to the ground level from a height of 75 feet.
172
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:09,320
They heard the gunshot and got in their van and split while the drone automatically returned to the nearby Wal-Mart.
173
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:22,320
When cops arrived, Wynn admitted to shooting the drone and asked the honestly offers how much trouble and he was charged with the misdemeanor count of discharging a firearm in public and a felony count of property damage.
174
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:30,320
Now Wynn is entering a pretrial intervention program that will drop the criminal charges thanks to this clean record.
175
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:33,320
He'll also have to pay five thousand dollars in restitution to drone up.
176
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:37,320
This is according to the smoking gun.
177
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:46,320
So what do you think here? 72 year old shoots a drone that's over his house that keeps on going up and down.
178
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:53,320
And then all of a sudden, boom, the rest happens. So what's going to happen here?
179
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:58,320
I mean, I don't know. That's why I'm asking the question. So a lot of stuff goes on as we are talking.
180
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:10,320
So take a listen to this. A year ago, a person's life changed when he won the Mega Million Jackpot prize worth three hundred and ninety four million dollars a year later.
181
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:17,320
He's only gotten half the prize, but he turns out that the man says that he bought two tickets with the same number.
182
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:24,320
So there is technically two winning tickets. Mega Million only owes him half a leave amount because he failed to produce the second ticket.
183
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:30,320
Now the man is filing a lawsuit to try to get the other hundred ninety seven point five million dollars.
184
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:37,320
He says that he's owed. He reportedly hadn't had a reason for not turning in the second ticket,
185
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:40,320
but records apparently show that both were sold at the same gas station.
186
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:48,320
By the way, he says that the three decades he has played the same six numbers, 21, 26, 53, 66, 70 and 13.
187
00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:52,320
Why would you buy two tickets with the same number on it?
188
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:58,320
That seems a little confusing. I mean, where you've tried to play like your higher chances of somebody else had the same numbers.
189
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:04,320
I don't know. I am just asking because I am a weirdo and I don't understand it.
190
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:08,320
Rated R safety show sarcastic. Never.
191
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:19,320
OK, so let's talk about some other stuff. The U.S. Wildlife Service plans to add Monarch butterflies to the threatened species list by the end of the year.
192
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:29,320
While the threatened species protected by a by from being killed and transported in the case of people still be lowered to move to the fewer than two hundred and fifty of those kind of butterflies
193
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:31,320
and continue to use them for education purposes.
194
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:39,320
The decision of 10 years in the making has been a petition by the Center of Biological Diversity back in 2014.
195
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:45,320
Hold on. I want to make sure I'm following along here.
196
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:52,320
You're telling me that these things have been kind of on the on the way down.
197
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:57,320
For the last 10 years and it took 10 years to make a decision.
198
00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:01,320
I mean, I know some people that I complain about that.
199
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:07,320
I think they're slow when they're trying to make a decision and you're telling me 10 years.
200
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:10,320
I mean, I would lose it. I want you to think about that for a moment.
201
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:17,320
Think about what you were doing 10 years ago and then you tell me if the thought even comes to your brain in regards to this.
202
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:21,320
So I don't know. It's kind of a weird time. That's for sure.
203
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:29,320
OK, take a listen to this. Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly have called it quits just a month after announcing that they are expecting their of their first child together.
204
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:31,320
She's 38 and he's 34.
205
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:37,320
Insiders reported that the relationship ended over Thanksgiving break while the two were in veil.
206
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:46,320
Worth remembering it was just a week ago that sources credited Courtney Cardassian's husband Travis Barker with helping MGK win Fox back.
207
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:50,320
No word on whether or not they will they will help again.
208
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:53,320
So there you go. That's important to you.
209
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:55,320
In some other news, let's talk about the Dow.
210
00:27:55,320 --> 00:28:01,320
The Dow lost about 154 points to close at forty four thousand two hundred and forty seven on Tuesday.
211
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:11,320
The S&P lost about 17 points to close at six thousand thirty four and the Nasdaq lost about forty nine points to close at nineteen thousand six hundred and eighty seven.
212
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:16,320
West Texas Intermediate closed at sixty eight dollars a barrel and Brent Crude was at seventy two dollars a barrel.
213
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:26,320
The national average price of a gallon of gas was three dollars and a penny on Tuesday and Bitcoin was mostly flat trading around ninety seven thousand dollars on the day.
214
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:35,320
Tonight's powerball drawing will be for thirty million dollars or a jackpot or a fourteen point five million dollar cash payout.
215
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:40,320
So be on the lookout for that if you want to play the game.
216
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:42,320
So there you go. What else do we got?
217
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:46,320
Jamie Foxx finally opens up about his health scare and his new Netflix comedy.
218
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:53,320
What had happened was off the medical emergency that he had him fighting for his life last year.
219
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:59,320
Foxx said that he had started the headache and then it turned into a serious when he blacked out and was unconscious for weeks.
220
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:04,320
I saw the tunnel. I didn't see the light. I was I was in a hot tunnel.
221
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:10,320
He joked before questioning if he had headed to the right place after being told by the doctors that he could make a full recovery.
222
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:13,320
But it would be the worst year of his life.
223
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:20,320
Foxx
