In Episode 1098 of The Rated R Safety Show, Jay Allen dives into the latest headlines shaping the world—from the evolving role of OSHA to Elon Musk’s latest moves in AI and driverless technology. Plus, a look at how safety professionals can prepare for uncertain regulatory changes, the impact of innovation on workplace safety, and the rising cost of entertainment (looking at you, Super Bowl cocktails). And, of course, a few unexpected twists to keep things interesting.

I can't explain what a heart's concealing

00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:42,000
Mind over body, mind over body, mind over body
3
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:47,000
With the time to buy a new adventure
4
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,000
I realize all the cruel intentions so
5
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:55,000
Mind over body, mind over body, mind over body
6
00:00:55,000 --> 00:01:02,000
She keeps on changing, yeah
7
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:05,000
Oh, oh
8
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:34,000
She keeps on changing, yeah

00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:41,000
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.
10
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:52,000
Finally, show with the balls and call it like it is. Rated R Safety Show on Safety FM.
11
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,000
Countdown to audio torture.
12
00:01:55,000 --> 00:02:01,000
The rated R Safety Show starts in 3, 2, 1.
13
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:08,000
Let the ear drum pain begin.
14
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:16,000
Forget the corporate bullshit. This is the rated R Safety Show with your host, Dr.
15
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,000
It doesn't matter who the host is.
16
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:24,000
Oh, you know it. I know it and the whole world knows it. It does not matter who the host is.
17
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:28,000
What has always mattered is who the listeners are.
18
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:41,000
Anyways, today is Thursday, February the 13th of 2025, day 44th of the year and only 321 days left to go.
19
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:56,000
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.
20
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:01,000
The U.S.A. Canada, UK.
21
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:07,000
Yeah, there you go. A lot of stuff going on as we are hanging and banging and doing our stuff.
22
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:14,000
How's the last 24 hours or so been for you? It's always a good time when we get to hang out and do our thing.
23
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,000
Oh, I'm just saying in general.
24
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:40,000
Because what happens here is when you and I get to hang out, guess what? It changes the whole impact that you have on my day. And hopefully, you know, we're able to do some shenanigans around here that we're able to make sure that we're able to mutually communicate in regards to the things that are going on and making each other happy.
25
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:50,000
Maybe that's the way that I should look at this in general as we are talking. So with that being said, if you're new here, thank you for showing up.
26
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:59,000
If you've been here before, let's kind of go through the whole gamut here where we can have the explainer. Our show consists of safety in the news.
27
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:11,000
That is really what it is. What we talk about is stuff that's news related, topical and try to stay on point. We bring in some safety information because that's important as well.
28
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:23,000
With that being said, of course, with the safety stuff going in, going out, it changes and people go, why isn't the whole show about safety? Well, it can't be the whole thing about safety because you'll be bored half to death.
29
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,000
Let's just be realistic. Let's not lie to each other.
30
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:32,000
We'll have to kind of go through some of the sequences of events of some of the stuff that's happening.
31
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:40,000
And then we kind of give you a nice little blend. That way, when you start talking about some of this stuff, you're able to have these worlds of discussion.
32
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:48,000
Okay, that's it. That's really what the show consists of. Now, if you want to interact with the show, it's simple to do so.
33
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:57,000
Call in radio.com call in radio.com. We'll get everything moving for you.
34
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:08,000
Okay, simplest process whatsoever. You go there. You put in some deets. You have an option to do a video message, an audio message or text message.
35
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:17,000
All right there. I'm terrible at looking at anything when it comes to the virtual world. So if you put anything over there.
36
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:23,000
We're probably not going to be doing a lot of stuff together. Just kind of how it happened.
37
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:34,000
Okay. So with that being said, let's do this. Let's go through what the hell was trending in the overnight. Can people are going to care about this?
38
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:42,000
Here is one was trending rated R safety show. Okay. So as I take a look at the trends of the ends of the ends, notable and noteworthy.
39
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:54,000
Another development in the pending release of the JFK files. Also, Christie Carlson Romano recovers and Luca Donick makes a donation.
40
00:05:54,000 --> 00:06:03,000
We'll talk about that as we get into show business. Also, George Clooney is a bit nervous for Broadway and a couple of new podcasts are happening.
41
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:13,000
We'll talk about that as we get into casting calls and also Prince Harry potentially returns some shade to the Royals. So let's talk about this.
42
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:20,000
I have some professional newscasters that are waiting to talk to you right now from feature story news.
43
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:29,000
And so we kind of do a little combination of here and let me explain feature story news comes up here at the top of the hour.
44
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:37,000
Well, not at the top of the hour here in the next few moments. I'll play that for you. And then we have Alan Edwards come in later on.
45
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:46,000
Yeah, Alan Edwards, no relation to me or to Bob Edwards, just in case. So that's what we do. That's those are the pros that come in.
46
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:51,000
And then you just kind of are dealing with the writers from around here.
47
00:06:51,000 --> 00:07:01,000
Number one, and number two, you know, the crap that I come up with as we're going through the stuff. So with that being said, why don't we do this?
48
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:06,000
Why don't we go ahead and tell you about what the hell is going on with the world of the news?
49
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:14,000
And I think that if we get you into that circumstance, life could be better. So let's do that right now. Yeah.
50
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:23,000
What's the news stories, man? Let's do that. Here is the news on the radio safety show from feature story news in London.
51
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:31,000
I'm Oli Barrett. Countries including the UK, France and Germany say Europe must have a role in negotiations to end the war in Ukraine.
52
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:37,000
It follows President Trump's promise to begin peace discussions with Vladimir Putin immediately.
53
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:44,000
The UK says there should be no talks about Ukraine without Ukraine's involvement at a NATO summit in Brussels.
54
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:49,000
U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth says his country has been a major supporter of Kiev.
55
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:58,000
No country, as the president Trump has pointed out, has made a larger commitment to the Ukrainian mission than the United States of America, north of 300 billion dollars.
56
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:06,000
So the United States has invested in stabilizing those front lines after the aggression of Russia. There is no betrayal there.
57
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:13,000
There is a recognition that the whole world and the United States is invested and interested in peace.
58
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:20,000
Hamas officials are in Cairo as Egyptian and Qatari mediators attempt to salvage the Gaza ceasefire.
59
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:31,000
Israel and Hamas both accuse each other of violating the agreement, with Israel saying hostages have to be released by Saturday or it will relaunch full military operations in Gaza.
60
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:40,000
Pyongyang is demolishing a venue in North Korea that hosted reunions of families separated for decades by the Korean War and the division of the country.
61
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:48,000
A spokesperson for Seoul's unification ministry called the demolition an inhumane act that tramples on the wishes of separated families.
62
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,000
Laura Westbrook reports.
63
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:58,000
More than 133,600 South Koreans have registered themselves as separated families since 1988.
64
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:04,000
That means they have relatives in the north. As of this year, around 36,000 are alive.
65
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:12,000
Some were lucky enough to be chosen to take part in occasional cross-border reunions, which were mostly hosted at the Mt. Kumgang resort.
66
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:18,000
North Korea has been escalating its rhetoric, designating South Korea as a hostile state.
67
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:25,000
Now it seems the separated families are paying the price of the increased tensions between the two sides.
68
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:26,000
Laura Westbrook, Hong Kong.
69
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:32,000
A three-member IMF delegation is in Pakistan to review the $7 billion loan programme.
70
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:37,000
Islamabad secured the larger loan programme last year to avert economic crisis.
71
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:45,000
Since 1958, the South Asian countries borrowed from the global lender more than 20 times, making it the fund's fifth-largest debtor.
72
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,000
Hira Mustafa reports from Islamabad.
73
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:57,000
In its ongoing assessment of governance and corruption, the IMF delegation met with the Auditor General of Pakistan to review public sector audit procedures.
74
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:02,000
The International Monetary Fund is pressing Pakistani authorities to implement a range of policy reforms.
75
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:15,000
These include increasing tax revenue, phasing out subsidies, introducing taxes on agriculture, raising levies on energy, privatising inefficient state-owned enterprises and improving administrative efficiency.
76
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:19,000
From bureaus worldwide, this is FSN.
77
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:54,000
I do not think it was a smart way to begin this negotiation because before talking to Putin about what might be possible,
78
00:10:54,000 --> 00:11:00,000
I think the president needed to have an understanding of where Ukraine had flexibility and where it did not.
79
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:08,000
Any kind of a settlement that's being worked out is going to be judged on two main factors.
80
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,000
How much territory does Ukraine have to succeed, if any?
81
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:16,000
And second, what kind of security commitments does Ukraine receive in return?
82
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:23,000
I think it was unfortunate for the Secretary of Defense in Brussels to say it's unrealistic for Ukraine to get back to the 1991 borders.
83
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:26,000
That may be true, but why say that publicly?
84
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:36,000
That seems to be giving away some bargaining leverage that could have been useful in terms of trying to put Russia to become more accommodating and moving off some of its more outlandish demands.
85
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:43,000
But the Trump team is in a hurry, saying they want to solve the Ukraine crisis so they can stop getting distracted by events in Europe
86
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:48,000
and concentrate instead on Chinese expansionism in the Asia-Pacific region.
87
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:55,000
And to recap the top stories, countries including the UK, France and Germany say Europe must have a role in negotiations on Ukraine.
88
00:11:55,000 --> 00:12:01,000
Hamas officials are in Cairo as Egyptian and Qatari mediators attempt to salvage the Gaza ceasefire.
89
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:08,000
Pyongyang is demolishing a venue in North Korea that hosted reunions of families separated for decades by the Korean War
90
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:15,000
and a three-member IMF delegations in Pakistan to review its $7 billion loan program amid economic crisis.
91
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:32,000

110
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:55,560
It's always amazing to me on how technology changes and so does the environment that we're in.
111
00:14:55,560 --> 00:15:02,840
And cyber criminals will do everything they can to take advantage of a system. If you don't own a
112
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:08,200
home, you have nothing to fear about what I'm about to tell you. But if you own a home like me
113
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:14,360
and you don't guard it with home title lock, you're inviting home title fraud. One of the fastest
114
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:21,720
growing crimes. Cyber thieves around the world know our home values are sky high at the moment.
115
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:26,520
And that makes us a target. The crime is scary, simple. Let me explain it to you real quick.
116
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:33,400
A cyber thief simply forges your name on a property cell form and refiles it. That's it.
117
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:41,160
Now he or she is on the deed of your home and you have no idea that you're a victim. Then the
118
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:46,280
version takes out a loan on your home and vanishes. You'd be able to the police that you didn't commit
119
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:53,400
bank fraud. Home title locks put a virtual barrier around your home title. The instant they detect
120
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:59,160
any kind of tampering or anybody messing around, they help shut it down. Look, if you have equity
121
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:03,800
in your home, you need to guard it the best way that you can. Some people might even go as far as
122
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:09,640
guarding it with their life. Go to home title lock.com and register your address to see if you
123
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:17,480
are ready or a victim and enter the code radio. That's R A D I O. That's the code radio for 30
124
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:29,240
days free of protection. That's code radio at home title lock.com safety in a way never heard of before
125
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:42,200
safety show on safety FM. Oh yes. The rated safety show. We are on safety FM and radio big currently.
126
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:48,440
Okay. So a lot of stuff going on little time to have the discussion. You know, just in case I want
127
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:55,880
to bring this up. If you don't know this tomorrow, it's Valentine's day. And if you're in a relationship
128
00:16:55,880 --> 00:17:02,520
where that's important and this has to be brought up, make sure you do the right thing for tomorrow.
129
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:07,720
I mean, we talked yesterday about waffle house, you know, being ready for Valentine's day,
130
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:14,280
taking reservations and all that kind of fun stuff. So just letting you know, some, some
131
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:20,840
interest scientists, some interest scientists right there, by the way, the question mark tattoo
132
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:25,640
still continues to be the question about my finger. I don't know why people keep on asking me about
133
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:33,160
that, but yeah, I do have that. And if you do wonder a little bit, yes, I quite, I put it there
134
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:38,920
because I want questions to constantly be asked. I want people to look at my ring finger and have
135
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:44,280
questions. And I look at it also because I have all kinds of questions. And yeah, there's been
136
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:50,760
some people that have already reached out to me telling me that they've gotten the tattoo as well,
137
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:54,920
which I thought was pretty interesting. Some pictures coincided with some of that stuff.
138
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:59,640
And now, even though I would love to do this at the next conference, we're doing, no, I
139
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:06,840
am not having a tattoo artist there to, to do, to put the tattoos on people just in case, even
140
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:12,120
though we should give that as an option, they want to do that. Okay. All joking aside, or am I joking?
141
00:18:12,120 --> 00:18:17,160
I'm not sure. Maybe it's something we should talk about for the next conference. Who knows? Okay.
142
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:20,760
So let's do this. Let's talk real quick about some things that are going on inside of the world of
143
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:27,160
the multiverse. Cause that is what we do around here. No doubt about that. Elon Musk is betting on
144
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:36,440
big driverless cars and opposed on X. He says an autonomous ride hauling trial will begin this
145
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:43,400
summer in Austin, Texas. Riders will be able to summon a Tesla car without a driver by using an
146
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:49,320
app to pick them up and take them to their destination. Similar to how Uber or Lyft operate
147
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:57,080
today. Musk added that he believes the autonomous cars will be about 1000% safer than a human cars.
148
00:18:57,080 --> 00:19:03,000
If all goes well with the trial, it will extend to many cities in America by the end of this year.
149
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:09,880
This is according to Elon Musk on, on X. I almost called it Twitter, you know, bad habits die hard.
150
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:15,880
Also in Elon's world, a group of investors led by must have put a bid in for the artificial
151
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:22,120
intelligence company, open AI, whose technology powers a popular chat box chat GPT.
152
00:19:22,120 --> 00:19:31,400
The wall street journal reports that the group has placed an unsolicited 97.4 billion dollar bid.
153
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:38,120
Must was an early investor in the projects, but pulled out over strategic and creative differences.
154
00:19:38,120 --> 00:19:44,920
Since then he had an open public beef with open AI's founder, Sam Altman, and they're battling it
155
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:52,120
out and competing on competing visions for the company in court. An attorney to four must says
156
00:19:52,120 --> 00:19:58,840
that their group will match or exceed any other bids while open AI has not expressed any public
157
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:05,240
interest in selling the size of the offer could force a sale. This is according to the wall street
158
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:13,480
journal. Now, Sam Altman has turned it down from what I understand and has now offered to, uh,
159
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:29,960
to buy X for $9.74 billion. $1 10th of a, what, uh, Elon was offering for chat GPT or open AI,
160
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:34,920
better saying. So I don't know a lot of stuff going on right there as we are talking.
161
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:41,000
Anyway, say you listen to this at the end of January, experimental aviation company,
162
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:47,000
boom, supersonic or hold on. Let's, let's redo that. Uh, yeah.
163
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:55,880
Boom supersonic announced the successful flight of their first civil supersonic jet made in America
164
00:20:55,880 --> 00:21:05,480
in an experimental plane dubbed XB one topped the mock 1.2, two or 12% faster than the speed of sound
165
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:13,880
over California. Now, further details, further flight data analysts show that the XB one broke
166
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:19,880
the sound barrier without creating a sonic boom that was audible on the ground opposition to the
167
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:27,000
sonic boom from a conservationist among other niche interest groups has previously impeded
168
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:32,920
widespread adoption of supersonic flight technology. The company says the plane flew at an altitude
169
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:41,080
a speed for mock cutoff in which the sonic boom becomes a refracted wave of the atmosphere and
170
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:47,080
registered no sound on the ground. As the company explains, boomless cruise leverages, well known
171
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:55,480
mock cutoff physics, whereas sonic boom reflects, or refracts better saying upward due to the
172
00:21:55,480 --> 00:22:02,120
temperature and wind gradients affecting the local speed of the sound. So the XB one is
173
00:22:02,120 --> 00:22:09,320
a speed of sound. This is similar to how the light bends when I'm passing through a glass of water
174
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:14,760
by flying a sufficiently higher altitude at an appropriate speed for current atmospheric
175
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:20,440
conditions. Overture ensures that the sonic boom never reaches the ground in applying this
176
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:26,840
technology, the flight over land. The company promises 50% faster flights over land and twice
177
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:34,760
speed over water. Once once commercial jet technology is tested and approved by regulators,
178
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:44,280
will be the new reg. I mean, let's just be realistic. If you have a company that's called
179
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:51,080
you know that you're trying to do some crazy things out there. No doubt about it.
180
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:57,160
We at safety FM are not responsible for what this idiot behind the microphone is saying
181
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:03,960
is trying to be entertaining. We did our safety show. Is that breaking the fourth wall? I don't
182
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:10,600
know. Okay. So let's go into it celebs. They're just like us ahead of his Broadway debut and
183
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:16,760
good night and good luck. George Clooney says he's nervous. I haven't done a play in 40 years. So
184
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:21,720
it's terrifying. He told reporters. Yes, George Clooney gets nervous. So there you go. The play
185
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:27,560
adapted from Clooney's 2005 film from the same name centers of broadcast news, legendary Edward
186
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:35,560
R. Muro in his work to impede investigation of communists in the US government in the 1950s.
187
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:43,480
It begins on March the 12th. This is according to the New York Post. So what do you think? I mean,
188
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:47,560
does the guy have anything to be nervous about? I mean, he's a great actor, but you never know
189
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:52,520
how many takes something takes and regards of getting it done. So how many takes something takes
190
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:59,000
or how many segments need to be recorded for something to occur. So there you go. Okay. So
191
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:05,640
let's let's butcher this basketball player's name again. Basketball player Luca Don sick is donating
192
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:13,160
$500,000 to wildfire recovery efforts in Los Angeles. I am also committed to
193
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:18,680
helping rebuild courts, playgrounds and fields that were destroyed because the kids needs a
194
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:25,640
safe place to play. He said in his announcement, Luca is the most recent addition to the LA Lakers.
195
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:32,440
He was traded in a blockbuster deal over the weekend. This is according to TMZ. So there you
196
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:38,760
go. I don't know what exactly was the blockbuster trade, but it apparently had happened. So I,
197
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:47,720
I don't keep up with anything sports wise. If it's not MMA and if it's not sports entertainment,
198
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:52,840
I probably don't really know anything. Now ask me stuff from years and years ago. I might be able
199
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:58,680
to help you a little bit, but yeah, my brain has just went out, has went elsewhere since then.
200
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:04,600
Okay. So let's talk about this plastic surgeons are weighing in on those questions. Why Tom Cruise
201
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:12,760
faces appear less chiseled in a pregame Superbowl ad a doctor, a plastic surgeon out of North
202
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:18,840
Carolina said that Cruz showed signs of recent filler in his cheeks and Botox leaving his face
203
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:26,280
looking puffy and stretched puffy and stretch. They didn't appear to be signs of more invasive
204
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:32,760
procedures. However, though the doctor did note that the jawline definition has changed and how
205
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:40,120
he appears in the latest mission and possible film cruise has never admitted to getting work done.
206
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:47,240
This is according to the daily mail. I mean, at this point, I think that everybody's getting
207
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:51,240
something done. I mean, maybe I need to get something done. I mean, I got body art. Does
208
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:56,760
that count? Is that count is getting something, something done. You know, it's interesting as we
209
00:25:56,760 --> 00:26:03,560
talk about some of this stuff. It's called body dysmorphia in regards to what we do. And we look
210
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:10,760
at something and we say, it doesn't look like it's supposed to. And we get all, um, hung up on doing
211
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:16,520
stuff. Like think about this real quick and nothing against working out, but you're not happy with how
212
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:22,840
you look. So you're trying to change everything up for you to look a certain way. It's kind of
213
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:27,800
what it happens, man. I don't know. I don't make this stuff up. I do a lot of reading. It's just
214
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:35,880
kind of what happens. Who truly cares what this guy has to say? Who gives a shit? Rated R safety
215
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:45,560
show. Yep. There you go. Okay. So take a listen to the suspected killer, Luigi Mangione has accepted
216
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:54,200
nearly $300,000 in donations to fund his legal defense. An independent organization called the
217
00:26:54,200 --> 00:27:00,600
December 4th legal committee named for the data of the mind. Joni allegedly killed the United
218
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:07,160
healthcare CEO, Brian Thompson collected the contributions more than a than 10,000 donors,
219
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:15,000
uh, gave the fund on crowdfunding platform, give, send, go. This is according to the New York post.
220
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:20,040
Worth asking if people contribute because they think that my journey did good for the world
221
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:26,200
by murdering the healthcare executive. How does it make sense to find a legal defense, uh, to
222
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:34,440
exonerate him from murder, uh, or in an even more horrifying turn in the argument to be that it was
223
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:43,160
a killing, but it was justified. I don't know. Um, he's either a hero to those, um, to these nuts
224
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:48,920
who were committing the murder or he didn't do it. One or the other. So I don't know. It's kind of
225
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:57,560
weird because if I remember correctly on how some of this stuff started, I thought some of these
226
00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:05,320
platforms would not accept some of the money because of the perception of what they were doing.
227
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:14,920
Now, I don't know about you, but I'll share this real quick. Innocent until proven guilty
228
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:19,160
is a kind of the lingo that we've used around here for a long period of time.
229
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:26,280
Don't you think? So how would that go? How would that work? Is it a something that we need to give
230
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:37,080
some considerations to or not at all? So I don't know. I don't know. I think that this is something
231
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:44,120
that we should probably ask ourselves. What makes the most logical sense in regards of everything
232
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:55,080
that is happening. No doubt about it. I don't know. It gets weird when it comes to stuff like this. I
233
00:28:55,080 --> 00:29:07,560
mean, don't you think it's all in the eye of the beholder? No doubt about that. So there you go.
234
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:15,320
Okay. So let's continue talking about some things that are going on inside of the world
235
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:24,360
because we need to talk and all that kind of fun stuff. So, so we, you know, we try to keep up with
236
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:29,480
some of the stuff that is going on inside of, of, of the world though here. So let's continue talking
237
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:33,800
a little bit more about some of the news stories that are out there. Are we getting swampy yet?
238
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:38,600
Let's not get swampy, but let's talk about this. Just days after taking office, president Trump
239
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:46,200
issued an executive order calling for a planned to declassify and release government files on the
240
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:57,160
assassination of JFK on access reports. The FBI has uncovered 2,400 new records that have not
241
00:29:57,160 --> 00:30:03,720
previously been disclosed. According to the JFK records act passed in 2016, the FBI has
242
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:12,280
passed in 1992. These files, even if heavenly redacted, should be, should have been handed over
243
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:19,800
to the national archives. And let's see an initial release plan was presented to Trump on Friday.
244
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:27,560
Axios also reported that while the E dot L gave a 15 days deadline for the presentation of the plan,
245
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:34,360
there has so far been no firm release date said to be announced knowing Trump. It could very
246
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:41,320
be well made public on in truth social, according to the post, you know, true social post. And this
247
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:45,400
is according to access. So we'll have to see what happens there. No doubt there. Okay. Fans and
248
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:51,560
hoping to partake in a stadium treats during the super bowl in new Orleans may have been dealt some
249
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:56,760
serious sticker shock. You ready for this? I'm going to share this with you, a specialty
250
00:30:56,760 --> 00:31:05,960
cocktail called voodoo magic costs $59. Don Julio based concoction came to the super bowl cup with
251
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:12,360
the rim covered in black magic seasoning in a dehydrated lime wheel. The premium cocktail
252
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:20,200
costs $24 while the top shelf option were around $30 non alcoholic beverages such as water and
253
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:27,720
Gatorade cost between seven and $9 respectively. Um, and meanwhile, food also was kind of pricey.
254
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:34,520
A surf and turf po boy costs $30. What kind of poll boy is spending $30 and po boy was $20.
255
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:40,680
The shrimp kind and grilled alligator sausage. Bo boy was 18. I guess a lot of people were eating
256
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:46,200
that stuff. If you take a look around. Okay. So let's take a listen to this one real quick.
257
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:53,400
The Doge team found that FEMA spent $59 million just last week to continue paying to house illegal
258
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:58,360
immigrants in luxury hotels rooms. This is according to what Elon Musk posted on, um,
259
00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:04,600
on X and the payments were amount were gross in subordination, uh, to the president's executive
260
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:11,960
order and that the funds are intended for American disaster relief at the clawback demand will also
261
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:19,880
made today to recoup these funds. President Trump also imposed an aluminum tariff from 10% to 25%
262
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:27,960
on Monday that imposed 25% tariffs on steel Tulsi, uh, uh, gay bird. It was ex she was confirmed
263
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:33,800
yesterday as a national intelligence, uh, director or director of national intelligence that occurred
264
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:39,480
yesterday clearing the procedure. So there you go. Just some information there. Also the voluntary
265
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:44,360
buyout program of the government employees has been indefinitely paused by the federal judge
266
00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:50,840
in Massachusetts pending final ruling, no word on when the final ruling when will occur. So there
267
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:57,000
you go. Let's talk about the numbers real quick. Stock markets for yesterday. The Dow industrial
268
00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:08,760
average decreased by 225 points to close at 44,368. The S and P 500 declined also by 16.53
269
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:17,240
points to close at 6051 and the NASDAQ composite slightly increased by 6.09 points to finish at
270
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:26,120
19,649 crude oil prices of west Texas intermediate was closed at 70.88 dollars a barrel and Brent
271
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:33,000
crude settled at 75.10 cents a barrel. The national average price of a gallon of gas was $3 and 13
272
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:41,480
cents and Bitcoin Bitcoin price remained relatively stable trading just around 96,186
273
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:49,080
and also let's see, uh, let's see for tomorrow, Friday, the mega million drawing will be, uh,
274
00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:56,120
an estimated 110 million dollars, uh, jackpot or a $50.2 million cash payout. So if you want to play
275
00:33:56,120 --> 00:34:01,240
the game, it's the opportunity to do so we're running behind. So let's do that thing that we
276
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:10,600
do right now that we call our main story. Here is our main story on the rated R safety show.
277
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:18,120
Okay. Main story time. And I don't know if a story is a story or if you're sorry that there is a story
278
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:22,760
about things that we need to talk about, but there's a lot of stuff going on right now
279
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:32,440
that there is a lot of people in despair about what occurred or what's occurring about the
280
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:40,760
potential of OSHA going away. And I keep on getting questions about this.
281
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:46,840
Now I will tell you, there's some people that I would talk to right away, given the opportunity.
282
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:54,920
And if you are familiar with our friend of the show, former assistant secretary, Jim Frederick,
283
00:34:54,920 --> 00:35:00,360
that would be a person of interest that I would talk to in regards of what his thought process is
284
00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:10,280
in regards to what's going on. That's one number two. What did you do before you knew anything about OSHA?
285
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:15,000
Seriously, like what did you do before you knew anything about it? Like you had some idea,
286
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:22,520
but how much of a dive did you take into that? So what I would recommend strongly for you,
287
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:26,280
for the time being, cause this is going to be the best way to do it. And believe me,
288
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:31,640
I am not selling shit here. We're just talking here. You and I are going back and forth.
289
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:37,960
Are you familiar with VPP? And it's referred to as a voluntary protection program, which is a safety
290
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:44,760
and health program for workplaces or a virtual, or, you know, for, for anything that you can do
291
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:51,640
in regards of how you would take a look at stuff. So let's talk about what the program consists of.
292
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:58,200
It's a program that recognizes worksplaces that have effective safety and safety measures.
293
00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:03,000
It recognizes worksplaces that have effective safety and health management systems,
294
00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:10,040
a cooperative program between management, labor, and OSHA, a program that focuses on hazard
295
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:15,400
prevention, training, and workers involvement, a program that includes onsite evaluation by safety
296
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:22,120
and health professionals, a program that includes reevaluation every three to five years. So if you
297
00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:30,360
are at a point right now that you're not sure what to do, I would say sign up for VPP.
298
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:36,360
Get involved with the VPP program because that's going to take care of you for between three to
299
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:45,880
five years. Now the program is exempt participants from OSHA program inspections. So think about that.
300
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:52,040
So you see how you're kind of getting the best of both worlds there. Now keep in mind that you can
301
00:36:52,040 --> 00:37:01,880
find out more about what's going on with VPP. If you go to OSHA.gov, and let me make sure that I
302
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:09,800
click on this right, OSHA.gov forward slash VPP, and it will give you the information right there
303
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:14,920
on what's available because listen, I am telling you nothing has went into place yet and it's going
304
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:22,840
to take a little bit of time if this thing is abolished. And if it is, if you start putting
305
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:27,880
these things in place, you already got something in motion. You have, like I always say around here,
306
00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:37,240
and I know that people don't love me saying this, but it's okay. Bare minimum standards is normally
307
00:37:37,240 --> 00:37:44,120
what OSHA is pushing. So if you look at it and you go, okay, if we do bare minimum, at least we have
308
00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:50,680
somewhere where to start, opposed to trying to go into these higher levels. So if you start here
309
00:37:50,680 --> 00:38:01,640
with VPP, you'll be able to do some things around and kind of look at it and go, okay, let's go into
310
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:07,480
some deep information. Let's go into some deep information on what we're going to be looking at
311
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:13,080
as our bare minimum before we take the focus of, I don't know what the hell I'm doing and the world's
312
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:19,800
coming to an end. Does that make it easier? I don't know if it makes it easier, but man, it definitely
313
00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:27,160
gives you a lot more to work with because at least this guarantees you that for three or five years,
314
00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:35,240
you have some level of a plan and you go, this is the path that we're going down and we're not doing
315
00:38:35,240 --> 00:38:42,040
anything different at the moment besides this. Just a thought, something to think about. It might take
316
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:45,080
you places that you didn't expect today.

329
00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:56,200
If you're anything like me, you have certain tendencies to put things off such as filing
330
00:40:56,200 --> 00:41:00,600
taxes, seeing the doctor, you know, working on that home improvement project that you're
331
00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:06,520
supposed to be doing, but just as having gotten to it. And while most of the times it works out,
332
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:13,560
the one thing in life that you really cannot afford to wait on is setting up term coverage
333
00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:18,200
life insurance. You've probably seen life insurance commercials on TV and thought,
334
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:23,240
yeah, I'll look into it later. Well, the answer is no, this isn't something that you can wait for.

00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:25,400
us to play this here on the Rated R safety show. Okay. So let's get back into the move and into the
371
00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:31,640
groove of the things that we have going on inside of the world of the multiverse. So let's do this.
372
00:46:31,640 --> 00:46:35,960
Let me tell you about the most important thing that I will ever tell you in my lifetime. No matter
373
00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:41,240
what you are facing, you deserve to be connected to help. And the people at to write love on her
374
00:46:41,240 --> 00:46:45,400
arms wants you to know that people have been working hard to make this happen. And I'm going
375
00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:51,080
to tell you that people have been where you are now. Things can get better. Healing is possible.
376
00:46:51,080 --> 00:46:58,520
To find out more information, all you have to do is go to T W L O H A.com. That's T W L O H A.com
377
00:46:59,640 --> 00:47:04,360
and click on the section that says find help. Once you get there, you're going to see information
378
00:47:04,360 --> 00:47:10,840
related to addiction, depression, anxiety, eating disorders, self injury, suicide, trauma,
379
00:47:10,840 --> 00:47:18,520
grief support. That's just to name a few of the things that are there. So that's T W L O H A.com
380
00:47:18,520 --> 00:47:28,040
to write love on her arms. I will tell you, go there. It can change your life. Not a joke,
381
00:47:28,040 --> 00:47:36,920
as I say that whatsoever. T W L O H A.com to write love on her arms. Let's continue talking
382
00:47:36,920 --> 00:47:41,720
about some other things that are going on inside of the world of the multiverse. Do you consider
383
00:47:41,720 --> 00:47:47,800
yourself fun loving type? If you do, that's good. That's a good thing because new research has found
384
00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:54,520
that playful people are resilient. That means in this case that they are better equipped to find
385
00:47:54,520 --> 00:47:59,880
silver lining in difficult situations and find creative solutions. A team from Oregon State
386
00:47:59,880 --> 00:48:05,960
University and Vanderbilt University founded their study that a playful people aren't just
387
00:48:05,960 --> 00:48:13,000
wearing rose colored glasses. They actually carry what they what they what the researchers call a
388
00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:18,360
colorful spotlight or color spotlight, which selectively highlights the opportunities for growth
389
00:48:18,360 --> 00:48:24,280
and enjoyment while maintaining realism about difficult situations. This means that instead of
390
00:48:24,280 --> 00:48:32,200
the naively believing everything will work out, playful individuals are able to reframe their
391
00:48:32,200 --> 00:48:43,560
circumstances in ways that make life more engaging, regardless of how how tough a situation might be
392
00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:50,680
for them. That is finally a study that justifies my life motto. When in doubt, just make a joke
393
00:48:50,680 --> 00:48:56,520
about it. I guess that's kind of a simple way to do it. So basically my ability to laugh at my own
394
00:48:56,520 --> 00:49:04,920
terrible decisions is a superpower. I did not realize that it took so long to come to this,
395
00:49:04,920 --> 00:49:12,920
but I guess that's what's happening. Okay, so a lot of stuff going on as we are talking.
396
00:49:13,640 --> 00:49:18,920
So have you heard about this? Netflix has opened its own themed restaurant in Las Vegas Strip.
397
00:49:18,920 --> 00:49:27,560
Visitors from the area can now stop by Netflix Bites at MGM Grand Hotel and Casino for sample
398
00:49:27,560 --> 00:49:32,920
food creation based on the streaming service, top shows and movies. The restaurant is there
399
00:49:33,240 --> 00:49:40,040
on a one-year culinary residency where guests can dig into dishes, drinks and the magic of the
400
00:49:40,040 --> 00:49:45,960
screen and table. The company said such as Bridgerton Regency Tea, a $65 a person, three
401
00:49:45,960 --> 00:49:56,200
course meal. The WWE Smash Burger for $23. A Too Hot to Hiddle inspired Bloody Mary $18.
402
00:49:56,200 --> 00:50:06,440
Let's see, Find Flare $24 and Stranger Wings $18. The Big Soldier, A Nod to Squid Games,
403
00:50:06,440 --> 00:50:14,120
puts the Korean Soju in the spotlight. Netflix Bites Vegas is patterned as a streamer's 2023
404
00:50:14,120 --> 00:50:18,920
pop-up restaurant in LA, which reservations were fully booked for more than six weeks.
405
00:50:18,920 --> 00:50:24,600
So knowing me, I'd end up pausing my meal and coming back to finish it three months later.
406
00:50:24,600 --> 00:50:30,520
And finally a place where I can binge while I binge watch. And obviously there's a $7 fee
407
00:50:30,520 --> 00:50:34,920
if you choose to share. So there you go. Some stuff to talk about. Anyways, let's bring some
408
00:50:34,920 --> 00:50:38,920
John Smalls into our life and let him tell us about the Motivation Minute.
409
00:50:38,920 --> 00:50:45,800
The Motivation Minute is courtesy of GenesisGold IRA.com and JaceCaseMedical.com.
410
00:50:48,040 --> 00:50:51,400
Today's quote was submitted by Dirk. Margaret Mead said,
411
00:50:51,400 --> 00:50:56,200
never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed,
412
00:50:56,200 --> 00:51:01,880
it is the only thing that ever has. I love this. I will also say I think the smaller the group,
413
00:51:01,880 --> 00:51:06,360
the more they get done. At least that's my experience. I was on a committee where there
414
00:51:06,360 --> 00:51:11,320
was about a dozen people involved. Each month when we met, I would take notes and each month,
415
00:51:11,320 --> 00:51:15,800
the same few people would get many things done. And others on the committee would tell us the
416
00:51:15,800 --> 00:51:20,520
exact same report. They would profess that they'd make some calls and get some things done this
417
00:51:20,520 --> 00:51:29,080
month, but they never did. Luckily the smaller group did do our things. The Motivation Minute

00:51:42,280 --> 00:51:49,080
Hello, I'm Richard Exley. With your one-minute devotion, once an adulterous relationship begins,
421
00:51:49,800 --> 00:51:57,000
it is almost impossible to break it off. Compared to illicit sex, married love can seem dull
422
00:51:57,000 --> 00:52:03,720
and uninteresting. It isn't, but in the heat and excitement of an affair, it can seem that way.
423
00:52:03,720 --> 00:52:11,320
Extramarital sex confuses excitement with love, and married sex can never satisfy the unfaithful
424
00:52:11,320 --> 00:52:18,760
heart's insatiable desire for illicit excitement, hence the fatal attraction. There are moments of
425
00:52:18,760 --> 00:52:23,000
sinful pleasure, to be sure. The excitement of the haunt, the thrill of the conquest,
426
00:52:23,800 --> 00:52:33,000
but the end is always death. Lord, your word is clear. Sexual sin produces death. Deliver us
427
00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:39,400
Amen. If these devotions are a blessing and an encouragement to you, you can subscribe at

429
00:52:45,080 --> 00:53:06,200
Law Safety Show. The lawsuit argues that cutting funds for indirect costs, such as laboratory and
430
00:53:06,200 --> 00:53:11,240
infrastructure expenses, will hinder research into diseases like cancer and infectious diseases. The
431
00:53:11,240 --> 00:53:15,560
states are seeking to have the funding cuts declared unlawful to protect ongoing and future
432
00:53:15,560 --> 00:53:20,760
research efforts. In the West Bank, Palestinians are experiencing significant disruptions due to
433
00:53:20,760 --> 00:53:26,120
an increase in Israeli checkpoints and roadblocks. Benjamin Wright with the latest. These measures
434
00:53:26,120 --> 00:53:30,520
have doubled commute times and fragmented territories, particularly affecting the northern
435
00:53:30,520 --> 00:53:35,720
regions. Israel states that these actions are necessary for security purposes following recent
436
00:53:35,720 --> 00:53:40,360
conflicts. However, Palestinians report that the checkpoints have led to economic strain
437
00:53:40,360 --> 00:53:45,880
and hindered access to essential services. In Kosovo, Prime Minister Albin Kurti's party
438
00:53:45,880 --> 00:53:51,640
secured 40.94% of the vote in the recent parliamentary elections, but fell short of
439
00:53:51,640 --> 00:53:57,560
a majority. Kurti is now seeking coalition partners to form a government. Joseph Eccerson reports.
440
00:53:57,560 --> 00:54:04,440
The new administration will face challenges such as stalled discussions with Serbia and uncertainties
441
00:54:04,440 --> 00:54:09,720
regarding foreign aid. The election marks the first time since Kosovo's independence in 2008
442
00:54:09,720 --> 00:54:15,080
that a government has completed a full four-year term. This is the latest news headlines.
443
00:54:21,400 --> 00:54:26,520
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has announced a significant reduction in payments
444
00:54:26,520 --> 00:54:32,520
toward overhead costs for research institutions receiving NIH grants. This policy change could
445
00:54:32,520 --> 00:54:37,560
leave universities with substantial budget gaps, potentially impacting ongoing research projects.
446
00:54:37,560 --> 00:54:42,120
Institutions like the University of Michigan stand to lose millions in funding, affecting numerous
447
00:54:42,120 --> 00:54:46,520
trials and research initiatives. Kyle Norris reporting. In the Middle East, a Russian spy
448
00:54:46,520 --> 00:54:51,080
ship caught fire off the coast of Syria. The incident has raised concerns about regional
449
00:54:51,080 --> 00:54:56,520
security and the potential implications for international relations. Kevin Sanders reports.
450
00:54:56,520 --> 00:55:01,720
Details about the cause of the fire and the extent of the damage remain limited at this time. The
451
00:55:01,720 --> 00:55:06,680
UK last month tracked another Russian vessel that it identified as a spy ship in the English Channel.
452
00:55:06,680 --> 00:55:11,560
The Defense Ministry said the Yantar was caught loitering over critical undersea infrastructure.
453
00:55:11,560 --> 00:55:17,320
The U.N. AIDS Organization has warned that HIV cases could increase six-fold if the United States
454
00:55:17,320 --> 00:55:22,360
withdraws its support for global health initiatives. The potential funding cuts have raised concerns
455
00:55:22,360 --> 00:55:27,160
about the future of HIV prevention and treatment programs worldwide. U.N. AIDS emphasizes the
456
00:55:27,160 --> 00:55:32,120
critical role of U.S. support in combating the HIV epidemic. Jessica Oakley reports.
457
00:55:32,120 --> 00:55:44,120
And that's the latest news headlines with Alan Edwards.
458
00:55:45,880 --> 00:55:48,920
Tearing the ass out of you like gas station sushi.
459
00:55:54,520 --> 00:55:59,400
Okay, here we are. 55 minutes past the top of the hour. So let's get into it. Let's talk about some
460
00:55:59,400 --> 00:56:05,480
things that happened back on this date back in 2021. Former President Donald Trump is acquitted
461
00:56:05,480 --> 00:56:12,840
in his second impeachment trial, this time on charges of fomenting insurrection on January the
462
00:56:12,840 --> 00:56:18,360
6th. That happened back on this date in 2021. Let's talk about some birthdays that are going on today.
463
00:56:18,360 --> 00:56:27,160
Isabel Smith, 24. Prince Jackson, 28. Sydney Chandler, 29. Mina Sorvino turns 46. Randy Moss, 48.
464
00:56:27,160 --> 00:56:35,640
Robbie Williams, 51. Peter Gabriel, 75. And Stockard Channing turns 81 today, in case you wanted to
465
00:56:35,640 --> 00:56:41,400
know. If you're looking at some days of the year to celebrate, it's Galentine's Day. That's with a G
466
00:56:41,400 --> 00:56:49,800
instead of a V, just in case. Kiss Day. And of course, World Radio Day 2025. Yeah, it's World
467
00:56:49,800 --> 00:56:56,200
Radio Day, just in case if you did not know that. If you need a rando for today, if you think girls
468
00:56:56,200 --> 00:57:04,040
are dramatic, you've never seen a guy whose video game just lagged. Just saying. Don't shoot the
469
00:57:04,040 --> 00:57:08,760
messenger. Just throwing that out there. Also, if you need a question for, or no, not a question,
470
00:57:08,760 --> 00:57:13,800
if you need a phone starter for today, try this. What would be the worst gift your sweetheart could
471
00:57:13,800 --> 00:57:22,440
buy you on Valentine's Day? Think about it for a moment. What's the worst? Okay, if you need a
472
00:57:22,440 --> 00:57:29,400
question for the water cooler, try this about 20% of us will give a Valentine's 20% of us will give
473
00:57:29,400 --> 00:57:39,000
a Valentine's day gift to this recipient. Who is it? It's a pet. It's a pet. Yep. People give stuff
474
00:57:39,000 --> 00:57:43,800
to their pet. I know weird. Okay. So with that being said, that's going to sum up our time
475
00:57:43,800 --> 00:57:48,040
together. Thanks for hanging out with me on this lovely Thursday at the top of the hour. I'll be
476
00:57:48,040 --> 00:57:52,120
going over to radio big. If you want to come hang out and we'll talk about the world of music and
477
00:57:52,120 --> 00:57:55,960
entertainment over the next couple hours or so, if you don't, that's perfectly fine as well. You can
478
00:57:55,960 --> 00:58:02,360
hang out here on safety FM and have conversations with Sheldon Primus as he talks about the world
479
00:58:02,360 --> 00:58:09,400
of safety consulting. So that's going to sum it up. Thank you for your time on this lovely Thursday.
480
00:58:09,400 --> 00:58:12,280
If I can leave you with a deep thought for today, I would love to leave you with this one.
481
00:58:12,920 --> 00:58:19,640
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast. Pretty simple, I guess, if you look at it that way.
482
00:58:19,640 --> 00:58:25,880
Anyways, I know who you are. You know who I am. Love you. Mean it. And goodbye.
