This is FSN this show is almost as enjoyable as hearing the sound of the toilet flush rated r safety show on safety. We all want to make sure that our family is protected in medical emergencies.

This has to be an error. That host is not a radio God. Anyways, this is the rated R safety show on safety air firm. Oh so there you go. There you go. There you go. I never put you on. Well apparently somehow you got inside of here. I don't control your version of linkedin but thank you Isabella for sharing your your needs here on the show. Um I'm sure everybody else is wanting to be involved as well. Hopefully you can reach out and just turn the notifications off. That's kind of the simplest way to do it. Probably there's an upgrade or an update inside of the algorithm of Lincoln and that's why you're seeing me, which it sounds like it's definitely something you don't want to do by the way. We haven't seen each other in long period of time. I haven't seen you at uh a SSP meeting. And sometimes I think the last time that I had seen you, let me see, we might have been in san Antonio. So there you go. Anyways, let's continue talking. Let's talk about what is going on around the world. It is 11 minutes past the top of the hour and let's talk about what is going on according to the California school district. Uh, I guess that's what we're gonna talk about. The California school district will vote this week on whether to move forward with hybrid plan or exclude only seventh graders or just remain virtual for the rest of the year. I mean the rest of the year, we're already in april what is it gonna matter at this point? The Oak Groves School district of san Jose County has been holding distant learning for over a year. Now. Last month, school board members came up with a hybrid plan where students will be in part of the week, of the home, of the rest what everyone that is, everyone except seventh grade. The reasoning for leaving seventh graders, it is um, it wouldn't be safe according to the board, uh, to have 7th and 8th graders in a school at the same time as the eighth graders in the time back before. It's so confusing. So there you go. What do you think? I mean, I don't know. I see, I hear some of these things that are going on inside of this county and we kind of go from there. So there you go. You want to know something? I don't know why, but I, I'm remembering remembering the good old days when I used to be in, uh, I used to be in this area that was called Colleen texas that I used to do um, radio down there and I was right next to a military base that was known as Fort Hood. And at the time I used to be on K. C. N. T. 91.3 simply beautiful. Uh yeah it was, it was a jazz station. Um and I also played some elevator music. So let's not lie about it. Uh in the interesting portion it was definitely regarded to some of the elders that would actually take a listen to the station. No problem with that. That's pretty cool. No problem there. But I used to get some random phone calls that would occur where people would hear humming from their radio or there was this weird buzzing sound that they would claim that was coming from the speakers. And I would only have like one person contact me um to let me know that that's what's going on. I'm kind of feeling one of those moments of nostalgia right now as we speak more, mortal kombat be downgraded upstate okay as of Tuesday over 192.2 million covid vaccines had been administered nationwide. Over 75.3 million americans have been fully vaccinated while more than 122.2 million have received at least one dose according to the C. D. C. And the total number of competitive cases in the US. is just a little bit above 31 million. And the total amount of deaths is 559,000 deaths attributed to the virus. So as we speak it has not really moved the amount of death which is a good thing but you're seeing that it is kind of slowing down based on what we're talking about. So just some things to bring up as we are talking about this. Oh before I forget the codes back up we got the code, the codes back up on the screen. The QR code. Yeah. Just in case you don't know where the QR code Leads, it leads to this. I am not speaking at any conference or expose between September the 13th through the 15th. That's where the code leads. Now, I have to tell you last night or this morning, relatively early this morning. No problem. Was having some communication uh about it doesn't really play out. You understand what is exactly going on uh what is going on? If you don't watch the video that goes with the code it's kind of a combination. Did this person just call the host of a ha? I don't know what I I guess. Good question Mr Nichols. And let's make sure that where you don't call this just a person, it is doctor, it is the doctor coming in at one point I think she was referring to herself as a safety doc. I think there was a website at 1.2 with that. Uh So there you go it's okay. I've been called worse by better. Uh So anyway so there you go. A lot of things going on inside of that here's the thing. So as I so going through this real quick and going through the whole thing as we um talk about this when I'm giving out this code this Q. R. Code and we're talking about this and we're going through this whole thing really pay attention to what's being brought up because that's the other portion that's the other portion to think about. So you had a google, you had a google that she was calling me an asshole. Really? That's good. That's good to say. I knew exactly what she was telling what she was saying right away. But then again, there's a whole other story behind this. Um I'm pretty sure I could share it with you, but she probably wouldn't love me too much for saying so, Because there's this thing that I talk about that has four letters and The four letters are associated to a group. And the four letters normally pissed the people off when I start talking about it because they don't understand that, you know, some of the mentality of the older gen needs to be slightly updated because your organization is ran like something straight out of the 1970s or the 1960s and it's slightly needs to be updated. So there you go. Oh yeah, it's a it's a term of, let's see, it must be a term only understood by ph d s. Well I don't know uh maybe maybe that maybe you're right, I didn't think about it because I was actually talking to a group of phds not so long ago, I don't say it was about a couple of weeks ago and they were talking about how, you know, a good chunk of ph d s has to be some version. Al Itty of Narcissus has to be a version of narcissist if they're actually going out and actually getting it. So, getting the actual PhD, which I was like, I can understand that viewpoint at one point or another. Anyways, let's not get too sidetracked this morning. Let's continue talking. A texas man made history this week as the person person to run from Disneyland to Disney World to raise awareness for type one A diabetes. Yeah. So from Disneyland to Disneyworld, Don muchachos of plano. Yeah that's plano texas just in case completed his go on monday crossing the finish line at Disney park in Orlando. Uh closing the 2845 mile trek from Anaheim calif. I'm Anaheim California to Orlando florida. The 59 year old an ultra runner, Iron Man and type one diabetes told Fox News it was a surreal to complete the mission. So there you go. A lot of stuff going on inside of there in that sequence of events. Oh there there there there there there there so there you go some good stuff there. Let's talk to our friend, our amigo are compadre and all that kind of fun stuff. And let's have john smalls come into the box real quick and we will have him talk about the market minute. So let's do that. Here's your market beat minute for Wednesday april 14th 2021 U. S. Stock markets were relatively calm again Tuesday as traders gear up for the Q. One earnings onslaught. The S. And P. 500 was able to edge higher but by less than half a percent to set a new all time high. The new market is being led by the analyst sentiment and a rising consensus for Q. One results. The risk for the market is that with the S. And P. 500 so highly valued. There is a risk that Q. One earnings could turn into a sell the news event trading could take on a different tone after today. Between the expected earnings reports from the big banks and economic data. In the form of the Fed's beige book, there's a lot of risk for the market among those reporting R. J. P. Morgan Goldman, Sachs and Wells Fargo. As for the beige book, that market will be watching it closely for any signs of rising inflation and there are sure to be some, you can get the inside track from Wall Street's brightest minds delivered directly to your inbox every day at market beat minute dot com. Okay. So what do you think with john smalls in the market? Beat minute. Yes, I have to agree with you as it was posted right there in the box Lucas Marino. You are absolutely correct. That is a long trip on sneakers. I hope he has a sponsor. Uh They got him partially across there so there you go. So let's continue talking about the stocks real quick Tuesday stock index closed up as mixed as the dow lost 68 points and the NASDAQ added 146 points and the S. And P. Gained about 13 points. And the S. And P. 500 touched a new record as it finished above 4141 points. Uh The use of johnson and johnson virus vaccine has been temporarily halted due to a rare blood clotting side effect reported by six recipients who shared tied to the economic reopening sank while technology companies enjoyed the lift such as Apple Microsoft and Amazon closed higher on Tuesday. The news released during the session showed that consumer price index had risen more in March than any other month in the last 8.5 years. Many accommodations predict that the trend of inflation continuing for the foreseeable future. So there you go. Some information there for sure. As we are talking this morning, um interesting stuff of course, going on always because that's how I like it around here anyways, 20 minutes past the top of the hour and so on. So here you go. One of two police officers accused of pepper spraying and pointing his gun at the black army officer during a traffic stop has been fired and an investigation has been opened into the incident. Governor Ralph Northam requested that an investigation by the Virginia state police Into the December 2020 encounter in which in term has been excessive use of force by the officers towards Lt Caron rosario norm called the footage of the encounter disturbing. So there you go. What did he just say? We have safety FM. Don't always agree with the viewpoints of our hosts and guests. Now back to real safety talk on safety. F. M. O. Love it, love it, love it. There you go. There you go. Uh some fun stuff of course going on always across. So here you go. We started talking about all this weird stuff that we hear about in the news and we get to share it together and we get to listen to it together and we get to you. Well, I won't be entertained. Some of it can be entertaining, some of the kidnapped. But what do you think about all this when you hear it as you being the safety professional that you are the or the, the acquaintance, my friend, my listener, whatever the hell you want to talk about. I mean, but what do you think about it when you hear all of this? A lot of stuff going on? Of course. Anyways, the olympic torch relay ran through mostly empty Osaka City park On Tuesday it came to it came on the same day that the local government announced a new single day record of covid cases for Japan's second largest metropolitan area. The torch relay began three weeks ago in the north Northeast Japan, with a total of 10,000 runners crisscrossing the country heading towards the opening ceremony is set to take place on july the 23rd in Tokyo. A recent poll by Japanese news agency Cotto showed that 13.2% want the relay to continue, while 49.3% said that they should be canceled in areas where severe outbreaks and 35.9 uh said that it would be called Off entirely. Also, nearly 80 of the, of the country believes that the game should be canceled or postponed again. Uh, the Olympics and Paralympics are expected to draw about 15,400 athletes and tens of thousands of official judges and media and broadcasters, fans from abroad um um have been dead. So there you go. I don't know what to tell you. Just the information. That's their uh a lot of stuff going on. Of course, as we talk about everything going on inside of the news as we hang out here at safety FM. Let's continue talking the FDA and the C. D. C. R. Rem, ending a pause on the recommending a pause in the rollout of the Johnson and Johnson COVID vaccine after several instances of severe blood calling. According to the FDA, there has been six reported cases of rare and severe blood clots and over 6.8 million recipients of the one shot vaccine. So, you did hear me correctly, right? 6.8 million Recipients of the one shot vaccine. And there has been six cases 6123456 out of 6.8 million. So they have recommended pausing for a moment. What do you think there? I mean, of course, a blood clot is a blood clot. So let's not let's not downplay it. So there you go. There's some things to think about for sure. As it comes about lot of strange stuff going on inside of this particular world. When you really start thinking about, I mean, we're talking about six out of 6.8 million. Somebody needs to figure out the math on that. Maybe we should have like an accountant coming and talk about that real quick because I'm just not smart enough or maybe I'm at a H and can't figure it out. Anyways, the police shooting Dante right has reignited protests across the country. At least 40 At least 40 people were arrested on monday in Brooklyn Center, in the city where right was killed. On sunday, a group of more than 200 in Portland were were shouting, burned the priests into the ground in every city and every town as they grabbed bricks and rocks and throw them out. The officers, a subway station in D. C. Was swarmed with protesters on their way to get to gather at the capitol while portions of Manhattan bridge and the Big Apple was shut down mostly for a peaceful protest. So there you go. A lot of stuff to think about. Listen at your own risk rated r safety show. So there you go. Yeah, that's a good point. There was a lot of people waiting for a particular vaccine. This case of being mentioned, the johnson and johnson would because of course the one shot the one and done. Um Of course that's kind of a that would be a popular term in regards of what of actually getting done. I don't know. I mean I know some people felt that that was gonna be a good one, but that was the thing that we were talking about at the very beginning with vaccines were getting rolled out. Where are they going to give you a choice? Meaning whoever your provider was going to give you a choice on what shot you could have. So we knew that some people were going to wait. I mean Astrazeneca was one but not here, of course Moderna Pfizer and then of course J and J. So what are you taking a look at it? I mean, I think that with anything there's always a risk. I mean, here's the thing. If you kind of take a look at it, there's if you think about all the drugs in the world, not those kind of drugs. You know, I'm talking about pharmaceutical. When you start thinking about it, think about all the pros and cons of everything that's listed and what are the side effects that could occur. And of course this is emergency release. So it's still kind of a tester we know that. So that's the that's the the other portion to think about also a more traditional form of vaccine. Thank you Lucas were more information there. I will say for me because I I see what you're saying. But that's the stuff that we have to talk about. I mean this is the thing that we have to think about. This is an emergency release and the other portion of the side effects. This is why we continue to have the ongoing conversation that you have to do what is right for you and your circumstance. I mean do proper research. I mean I know that we all want to go to dr google and have those conversations, but that's fine. But you have to do a little bit more research because here's the thing, a lot of stuff that you can find, especially when it comes to medical related and white papers, where you're starting to look at trends in information and all that kind of fun stuff. You have to make sure that it's not sponsored by the medic medical provider or pharmaceutical company, which is kind of the common theme among both of those things. Just stuff to think about as you're moving forward inside of there anyways, an arrest has been made In the 25 year old disappearance, uh 25 year old disappearance of the California polytechnic State University student, Kristin smart paul flores. The last person to be seen with a 19 year old before she vanished while while walking back to her dorm After a party was arrested early on Tuesday, he was officially listed as the prime suspect in the case last month. The investigation search of his father's home and property, Arroyo grande using ground penetrating radar and cadaver dogs. Yesterday, the ST louis Obispo sheriff's office revealed that there was evidence, there was evidence related to the murder and was discovered. Couldn't um couldn't share what it has, what, what they had found because the warrants are sealed, Florence's father Ruben flores was also arrested. The elder flores is being held on $250,000 bail while the younger flores is being held without bail. So there you go. Some stuff to think about as we're going on and talking about all kinds of interesting things this morning And some other news, Uber said a surge in demand for rides and food orders propelled the company to its biggest month for overall bookings in 12 year history. Uber has been around for 12 years. God, I'm, I think I was late to that game. According to recent filing, the ride sharing company was doing, I was doing an annualized run rate of $30 billion while the daily ride bookings were up by 9% last month, compared to a year ago, the company delivered services that surged more than 100 and 50% of last month's, Uh, to be annualized run rate of 52 billion, an all time record. The problem now is keeping up with the demand. So there you go. I guess that's one of those things to think about right away. If you are looking for, uh, you know, some kind of work, Something to do and you're short on cash and you, you need something immediately. Maybe that's something to look into. If you do have a car to be able to do something. I think they have certain guidelines um in regards of doing that. So there you go, some for information right away, 29 minutes past the top of the hour. So I think we're close enough to do the thing that we do here around this time is our main story on the right safety show. Okay, so there you go. It's close to that time. We started talking about the main story. Good Morning Mr puzzle. Thank you for joining us in the box. But we started talking about all the things that we want to talk about. Thinking about the things that we shouldn't be thinking about probably um and start going down that particular path because we need to start talking and we need to start looking into those things that uh what what do we call the episode today? I think we called it, if I remember correctly, I'd rather go Yeah, so let's talk about where you'd rather go. Not that place but some of those other places, but where would you rather go? You know think about it for a moment because there is some interesting content and concepts and all this kind of fun stuff. But sometimes we tend to wake up in the morning and we have that internal conversation where you're telling yourself I'd rather go here, I'd rather do this than having to go to work. And I understand that from time to time it does make sense. But when you start going through this process of I'd rather be anywhere else besides work, how do you change your mind to be able to do what you should be doing? How do you go about and getting everything ready? Rolling and bowling? Uh, in regards of that, I mean I look at it and I kind of try to go and try to figure this out and go, what do you look at when we start having these conversations? What do you think about on regards of being able to change of being able to go forward? Because here's the other thing to what I'm starting to realize more and more as we start getting into organizations and we're doing, you know, the normal 9 to 5, we'll call it normal 9 to 5 at the moment, but we'll turn around and do this. Well, we'll be there for a moment and say, you know, this is not for me, this is something that I'd rather not be doing and I'm just going to go elsewhere. I'd rather go somewhere else. Now, that is always an option now, don't get me wrong. But at what point do you make that call if the safety program that's going on inside of that organization is not the way that you're hoping for it to go? How do you go about to change it? How do you go about to make everything the way that you want is leaving going to be the solution to the problem? I'm asking the question here because I want to have a better understanding the ongoing sequence is that it is easier to leave. But what happens to the people that stay behind? What happens to the people that are still there? What if you're the voice for that group and you decided to leave? How are things going to change? Are they going to change now because you've left? Is that how you're looking at it? Or are you looking at it in a in a different kind of fashion? Just asking the question because that's the interesting portion about it. What changes when you'd rather go? Is there a portion where you get up in the morning and you don't want to go to work? Like I always have such a hard time seeing all these people that have the discussion of, oh we're halfway through the way it gets Wednesday, it's almost over. But if you hate so much what you're doing, you probably shouldn't be um actually staying there where you're at just to die. I would hate to be at a place where all I look for is going into work, getting off and then going directly into the weekend as soon as possible for I can get back to being off for a couple of days that just doesn't seem like a tremendous kind of life to live and I'm not saying that it's all gonna be knocking it out of the park, there are gonna be days that are difficult, don't get me wrong, but this is the stuff that we have to talk about and stuff, we have to think about lot of interesting things of course, as we go about and really think about this, a lot of interesting things come about always. So you have to do what is in your best interest of course, don't get me wrong, we're gonna have to redo those boxes by the way, in regards of getting that messaging through because they're becoming too big um in regards over there, so we'll get them through on the next section. Uh but we have to talk about this like, what are you doing? Because if you'd rather go definitely you're not in the place that you should be think about it for a moment, that's for sure. So the other portion to think about as well is what happens to the people that are there. What happens to the people that stay behind? If you decide to leave, are you going to be able to a system before you go? Are you that frustrated? Because here's the thing, when we start getting frustrated, we automatically start doing this and it's that narrowness of us getting closer and not focusing on anything else besides the problem that is going on right now. And is that good? Is that a good thing? Probably not. And that's the portion, that's the portion to think about. We need to be able to assist as the kind of work that we do into a broader scope. So that's but we need to start thinking about how can we make things better and is leaving always the best solution? Now, let me tell you, I've been on both sides of the equation. I've been in an organization that I love did everything everything, everything, everything, everything was I treated fairly. It's a matter of opinion. I think I was treated good and then boom, it didn't work out for it. I opted to leave based on some information that one of my bosses was telling me in regards of what was going on with the company. Then I worked
