EP 1126 – "Hippie Policies, Woodpecker Crimes, and a Seat at the Wrong Table"

It’s Wednesday, April 9th, and Jay Allen is not holding back. In Episode 1126 of The Rated R Safety Show, we dive headfirst into the absurdities of the world—both inside and outside the workplace. From a rogue woodpecker vandalizing cars in Massachusetts to Korean soldiers accidentally crossing borders, this one’s packed. Jay unpacks the realities of being capped by systems, what happens when leadership says, “We’re kinda hippies,” and how that kills progress.

Plus:

• Trump’s tariff chaos and Hollywood’s China problem
• A bourbon distillery underwater
• A college kid who got on the wrong boat—and found his new favorite soccer team
• Blink-182’s Mark Hoppus opens up about depression
• And a bizarre court case involving Taylor Swift, Blake Lively, and a movie script

🔥 Main Story: What job did you really want before this one—and is it time to make a move?
