Show Notes
A milestone episode from the Safety FM studios in Orlando 🎙️—the Rated R Safety Show turns 1,200. Jay riffs on why we “reinvent” things that might not need reinventing (yes, including a hotel bar of soap with a hole in it) and ties it back to leaner, less-wasteful thinking at work. Plus: today’s headlines, markets, and a few delightfully curmudgeonly confessions (ice-tray joy is real). Come for the sarcasm and radio; stay for the signal.
In this episode (Sept 16, 2025):
- The “soap-with-a-hole” lesson: innovation vs. reinvention on the job
- News blend: TikTok ownership framework chatter, trade talk noise, pop-culture bits, and a McGregor pivot
- By-the-numbers: markets, gas, Mega Millions, and more
- Motion sickness + music research, the kid-safe “Tin Can” phone, and vacation habit stats
- Why SiriusXM has been a quiet long-game goal—and what it means for the show
- Invite: Signal Virtual on Sept 30 @ 12pm ET (details at SafetyFM.com → Live Events)
Rated M-A-L-S-V. Strong language. Sarcasm served generously. Call in at CallInRadio.com.
