00:01:56,360 --> 00:02:00,360
Let the ear drum pain begin

18
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:13,360
Forget the corporate bullshit. This is the rated R safety show with your host, Dr. It doesn't matter who the host is

19
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:23,360
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

20
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:29,360
Anyways, we are broadcasting from our safety FM studios in Orlando, Florida

21
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:36,360
And coming across the multiverse known as safety FM and we are hanging out with these peeps

22
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:46,360
Okay, so today's Tuesday, February the fourth day

23
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:56,360
35th of the year and only 330 days left. So man, what a time to be alive

24
00:02:56,360 --> 00:03:02,360
If you hang out during secondary, you know that that's the quote and holy crap. I mean what is going on here?

25
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:06,360
A lot of stuff little time, but we got some things to talk about

26
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:12,360
Anyways, our show consists of safety in the news news and safety. That's just kind of the world where we hang

27
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:20,360
So that's what we do. We talk a little bit about everything we talk about what's going on inside of the world of safety

28
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:28,360
We talk about what's going on with pop culture. What's going on with news all of that fun stuff for the sole purpose

29
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:35,360
Of making sure you have additional things to talk about before you just start talking about safety

30
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:41,360
And the reason behind that is because hey, I'm gonna tell you you start lay on some protocol

31
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:46,360
You start giving me some rag without talking to me about something else. I'm probably not gonna give to

32
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,360
About what's going on and I'll be like, what do you think you're doing?

33
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:55,360
I thought this is called the rated R safety show. What's going on over there? Okay, so

34
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,360
A lot of stuff. So there you go

35
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,360
So if you want to hang out and you know

36
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:05,360
Do our thing Oh and hang out with our lingo and get into our world. We'll talk about some cave fave stuff

You know, that's kind of what we do, you know, we'll call it a shoot

38
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:12,360
We'll call it a work and all the fun stuff that you get to talk about

39
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:16,360
But if you want to interact with our show calling radio.com, we'll get you moving and grooving

40
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:20,360
That's kind of the easiest way of doing all that stuff because once you get there

41
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:27,360
It is just you know, tons of stuff to talk about tons of stuff for us to

42
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:32,360
To do that's this kind of the way that that it works. So there you go

43
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,360

What do we want to do?

47
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:50,360
Why don't we start talking about what the hell was trending in the overnight kids? That's gonna probably be important

48
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:56,360
Here is what was trending rated our safety show

49
00:04:56,360 --> 00:05:01,360
Okay, so as I take a look at the trends of the ends of the ends of the ends notable and noteworthy coming up

50
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:06,360
Now might be the time to snatch up Super Bowl tickets in the

51
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,360
In the jury selection

52
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:12,360
Begins for the trial of rife with corruption

53
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:18,360
Also, Carla Sofia Gascon is in backing down and Beyonce announces that she's going to be the first

54
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:22,360
In backing down and Beyonce announces dates for her car boy car to her

55
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:26,360
We'll talk about that as we get into show business. Also, Robert Kraft

56
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,360
Releases an anti sentiment

57
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:37,360
So said it is a mad with some big casting and Mel B returns to a GT

58
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:41,360
We'll talk about that as we get into casting calls. It also Prince Louis

59
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:46,360
Takes takes after his mum after his mum

60
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:50,360
And we'll talk about that in you know, and some of the stuff that's going on

61
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,360
So with that being said

62
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,360
Let's bring in my friend from feature story news

63
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:02,360
Because they got some things that they would like to get off their chest about what the hell's going on inside of the world

64
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:06,360
So if you're ready, I'm ready. So let's do that right now

65
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:11,360
Here is the news on the rating of our safety show from feature story news in New Delhi

66
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:21,360
I'm Ishan Garg. The US has delayed slapping 25% tariffs on Canadian goods following a phone call between US President Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau

67
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:28,360
In a move that mirrors a delay to Mexican tariffs, the pause on Canadian goods will last 30 days. Naina Maria Potts has more

68
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:34,360
In a strategy designed to leverage maximum cooperation from America's southern and northern neighbours

69
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:40,360
US President Trump declared victory over a delay to tariffs on Mexican and Canadian goods

70
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:48,360
Writing in a post on social media platform Truth Social, which he owns, President Trump said Canada had agreed to secure the northern border

71
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:56,360
Quoting the Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's tweet in which he pledged 1.3 billion Canadian dollars on border security

72
00:06:56,360 --> 00:07:04,360
The move follows similar promises extracted by the US from Mexico that it would send 10,000 troops to the border to stem the flow of illegal drugs

73
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:11,360
President Trump is threatening tariffs on China and the EU but suggested a deal might be worked out with the UK

74
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,360
Nina Maria Potts, Washington

75
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:18,360
China's ambassador to the United Nations says there are no winners in a trade war

76
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:26,360
Fu Kong was addressing US President Donald Trump's announcement that he is placing a 10% tariff on all imports from China

77
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaking in New York on Monday, Kong said if the impasse is not resolved, his country may be forced to take countermeasures

78
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:50,360
There is no winner in a trade war and we do hope that the US would look at its own problems, really solve this, find a solution that is beneficial

79
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:59,360
to itself and also to the whole world and frankly speaking I don't think that raising tariffs is beneficial to the US itself

80
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:06,360
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is in Washington DC ahead of meeting US President Trump during a pivotal moment for the Middle East

81
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:13,360
Before boarding his plane, Netanyahu said he believed that they could achieve a remarkable era of peace through strength

82
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,360
Kate Fisher reports from Washington

83
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:22,360
Mr Netanyahu is expected to be the first foreign leader to meet Mr Trump since his inauguration last month

84
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:32,360
Negotiations over the second, more permanent phase of the ceasefire deal for Gaza and the release of all the remaining hostages will be top of the agenda

85
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:38,360
Mr Trump's made it clear since his election that he wants an end to the wars in the Middle East

86
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:46,360
Other regional issues likely to be discussed include the US brokered ceasefire in Lebanon, which is set to expire later this month

87
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:53,360
Iran's nuclear ambitions and the formalisation of ties between Israel and Saudi Arabia

88
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:55,360
Kate Fisher, Washington

89
00:08:55,360 --> 00:09:00,360
It's fifth time lucky for Beyonce after she finally won Album of the Year at the Grammys

90
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:08,360
Her record Cowboy Carter also won the Grammy for Best Country Album the first time the award has been won by a black woman

91
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:19,360
With FSN Spotlight, I'm Simon Marks. Today, Canadians and their furious reaction to proposed 25% across the board tariffs threatened by US President Donald Trump

92
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:27,360
Over the weekend, a patriotic frenzy saw Canadians boo the American national anthem at a basketball game in Toronto

93
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:36,360
unveil a slew of counter tariffs targeting popular US imports, including beer, wine, chicken, vegetables, clothes and furniture

94
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:43,360
and in Ontario, the tearing up of a $100 million contract with Elon Musk's Starlink

95
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:47,360
Ralph Goodale is the Canadian High Commissioner to the UK

96
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:58,360
There's a kind of bubbling anger there about the way Canada has been treated, but we are calm and focused, sticking to the facts

97
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:09,360
and absolutely resolute in how we approach this situation and Canadians are responding from coast to coast to coast with that same message

98
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:18,360
It crosses political differences, it crosses geographic and sectoral differences, it crosses economic differences

99
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:24,360
There's a great unity among Canadians that we've got to stand together now like we've never stood before

100
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:33,360
Canada's opposition leader Paul Poilier even suggested on Monday that the country should send thousands of troops to its border with the United States

101
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:37,360
just in case they might come in handy over the next days and weeks

102
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:54,360
With FSN Spotlight, I'm Simon Marks

103

We all want to make sure that our family is protected in medical emergencies

132
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:38,360
What many of us don't realize is that health insurance won't always cover the full amount of an emergency medical flight

133
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:43,360
And if you have health comprehensive coverage, you could get hit with high deductibles and copays

134
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:47,360
That's why an AirMedCare network membership is so important

135
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:57,360
As a member, if an emergency arises, you won't see a bill for air medical transport when flown by an AMCN provider

136
00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:03,360
Best of all, a membership covers your entire household for as little as $85 a year

137
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:10,360
When providers are called upon to transport nearly 100,000 patients a year, this is coverage no family should go without

138
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:17,360
Now as a Jay Allen Show listener, you'll get up to a $50 e-gift card with a new membership

The Rated R Safety Show on Safety FM

143
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:47,360
Okay, a lot of stuff happening inside of the world of the multiverse

144
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:52,360
So let's start talking about some things because that's what we need to do

145
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:58,360
Okay, so let's talk about some crap from yesterday because that seems to be what we're doing as of late

146
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:05,360
So the terror scheduled to go into effect on the Canadian Mexican goods as of midnight last night

147
00:17:05,360 --> 00:17:08,360
Well, I guess I'll have to wait another month if they happen at all

148
00:17:08,360 --> 00:17:15,360
In Mexico, before the West Coast had time to finish breakfast on Monday morning, President of Mexico, Claudia Sherabam

149
00:17:15,360 --> 00:17:22,360
Announced that she is citing 10,000 soldiers to patrol the border with the United States, intercept drug activity

150
00:17:22,360 --> 00:17:28,360
And that was enough to get President Trump to pause the tariffs for at least a month

151
00:17:28,360 --> 00:17:34,360
Funny how that works, I guess some people were thinking within hours of agreeing to Trump's tariffs threats

152
00:17:34,360 --> 00:17:39,360
The Mexican government announced the arrest of the drug lord Gonzales Enrique Sauceda

153
00:17:39,360 --> 00:17:44,360
The number two of the dangerous, powerful Northeast Cartel

154
00:17:44,360 --> 00:17:50,360
This is according to Blog Vernarco

155
00:17:50,360 --> 00:17:52,360
That's who's saying that stuff

156
00:17:52,360 --> 00:18:01,360
What else do we have? In Canada, the following afternoon, phone calls between Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Trump

157
00:18:01,360 --> 00:18:08,360
Trudeau announced the 10,000 frontline military personnel will likewise be dispatched to the border

158
00:18:08,360 --> 00:18:15,360
In addition to a $1.3 billion Canadian to invest in the enhanced border security

159
00:18:15,360 --> 00:18:21,360
Worth remembering that we pointed out yesterday that tariffs aren't economic tools

160
00:18:21,360 --> 00:18:29,360
In this case, they're foreign policy weapons that Trump has skillfully wielded to tremendous success, according to some

161
00:18:29,360 --> 00:18:33,360
What is your thought process on that?

162
00:18:33,360 --> 00:18:39,360
I mean, I don't know. I mean, there's a lot to talk about here. So it's everything you're going to say now

163
00:18:39,360 --> 00:18:47,360
Going forward, I'm going to tear a few if you don't do this for me. Is that going to be how it works? I am just asking

164
00:18:47,360 --> 00:18:54,360
Who truly cares what this guy has to say? Who gives a shit? Rated R, Safety Show

165
00:18:54,360 --> 00:19:03,360
OK, so the tickets for this weekend's big game are currently 50% cheaper than they were last year for last year's Super Bowl

166
00:19:03,360 --> 00:19:13,360
According to resellers with site Tick Pick, the cheapest tickets for the Super Bowl in New Orleans has fallen below $4,000 on a secondary market

167
00:19:13,360 --> 00:19:23,360
While the Kansas City Chiefs are hoping to make history with three consecutive Super Bowl wins, fans apparently are not so as not so or as eager to be part of the story

168
00:19:23,360 --> 00:19:35,360
Other factors are seating capacity is significantly larger in New Orleans Superdome than it was in a Ligand Stadium in Las Vegas where last year's game took place

169
00:19:35,360 --> 00:19:45,360
So that is part of what's pushing the prices lower. Also, there was a terrorist attack in the city on New Year's Eve, which may be turning some people away

170
00:19:45,360 --> 00:19:54,360
So just so you know right there. I don't know. Are you OK? Let me kind of backtrack here real quick, you know

171
00:19:54,360 --> 00:19:56,360
Backtrack, backtrack

172
00:19:56,360 --> 00:20:05,360
OK, so do you care about the Super Bowl? Like is there anything to get you excited about this? And I know it's football and some people just love football

173
00:20:05,360 --> 00:20:08,360
It's almost like a religion to some

174
00:20:08,360 --> 00:20:18,360
Do you look at it and go? This is just the greatest show on earth and there's nothing else to do. I mean, listen, football games been to a few professional ones

175
00:20:18,360 --> 00:20:25,360
They're OK. But man, do you get more information while you're you're at home sitting on the couch or going to your favorite bar or wherever the hell you want to watch this thing

176
00:20:25,360 --> 00:20:33,360
You get all these stats where there you're just kind of going wonder what the hell just happened there. Yeah, I think I saw it, but you know why I don't hear anything

177
00:20:33,360 --> 00:20:44,360
So there you go. So anyways, let's continue talking follow up to despite the backlash over the past tweets of actress Carla Sofia Gascon has no intentions to drop out of the Oscar race

178
00:20:44,360 --> 00:20:54,360
She made history last month by being the first transgender woman to be nominated in the Oscar acting category or leading the best actress nod for her role in Amelia Perez

179
00:20:54,360 --> 00:21:04,360
Gascon did apologize again to anyone who may have felt offended by her post in an interview with CNN reiterating that she is not a racist

180
00:21:04,360 --> 00:21:12,360
I cannot step down from an Oscar nomination because I have not committed any crime nor have I harmed anyone, she continued

181
00:21:12,360 --> 00:21:26,360
This is according to the BBC worth remembering at the 2022 Oscars, Will Smith will Smith physically assaulted Chris Rock on stage and later allowed to return to the stage to accept an award for best actor

182
00:21:26,360 --> 00:21:39,360
Meanwhile, Cascon past tweets have has nothing to do with her role or current nomination. So there you go. You know, just call up her just call up Will Smith people and see what the hell they're saying

183
00:21:39,360 --> 00:21:54,360
This kind of followed the lead. I don't know. I mean, this a lot of stuff there. That's for sure. What else do we have days of our lives star Cassidy Dierdrich was arrested over the weekend for allegedly assaulting his girlfriend at their Nashville home and trying to take her phone

187
00:22:50,360 --> 00:23:10,360

We'll talk about that in Disney's first major theatrical release on the dates in history. So don't go too far away. We're going to talk about all that stuff because that's just kind of what it's kind of what we do.

188
00:23:10,360 --> 00:23:34,360
It's the show and they just make fun of a whole bunch of people. It's just too funny. It's too stupid. Rated R safety show. Okay, so a Gallup survey shows American attitudes towards the economy are looking up up up 53% expected the economic growth this year.

61% respect the stock market to improve 41% expect interest rates to decrease and 52% expect inflation to continue but that's down from about 80% back in 2022.

190
00:23:51,360 --> 00:24:10,360
So there you go. What are you expecting? I expect the unexpected so be prepared. That's maybe the best way to go about it. Anyways, the New Hampshire man miraculously survived a 20 foot fall over the weekend when his ski lift here detached from the cable and plummeted to the ground.

00:24:46,360 --> 00:24:59,360
Last June a juror reported that she was approached with $120,000 cash bribe to sway the outcome in favor of the five defendants.

194
00:24:59,360 --> 00:25:15,360
Charges were eventually dismissing and some of those defendants all five continue to face bribery charges. Now more than more people connected to the alleged fraud are standing trial including organization founder Amy Bach and one co-defendant Bach

195
00:25:15,360 --> 00:25:29,360
Bach maintains that her total innocence that her attorney says that Bach was a hoodwinked by people already convicted of embezzling of the funds and lying about how many kids they were actually helping.

196

Of the 70 people charged 30 have already pleaded out. This is according to NBC News. Let it rain. So there you go. A lot of stuff going on.

214

And there was a lot of people that we will say were dressed bedazzling to put it in that fashion. And then I found out what the hell was going on. And apparently there was two things.

215
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:18,360
Number one there was a Beyonce concert in town which I had no clue about. And number two Beyonce was staying at the same hotel that I was at. And I was like oh well I guess that kind of makes some level of sense of everything that was going on at the time.

216
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:25,360
But I was so confused on what was happening. OK. So let's talk about this because apparently this one's not going to go away anytime soon.

225
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:36,360
