And granted you're off to a great start, we are broadcasting live from the Safety FM studios in Orlando florida and coming across the multiverse of Safety FM, just in case. Uh, so there you go, that's what's going on on our neck of the woods. Um, of course, we're also simulcasting on that other place that we hang out with, you know, that, that other, that other place, maybe, maybe that other place, sometimes. That other place, I forgot. There we go. Let's hit the right button. Let's try that again. We owe every day, it's a new day apparently around here when we're coming in and doing the things that we do. Uh, So anyway, so, uh, let me tell you how the show works in case you're not familiar with, it will go through the whole standpoint here. So it kind of goes this way we bring in some newscasters, they talk about what's going on inside of the world of the news. I give you some of my nonsense of what's going on. And then um, we kind of go format to format, talk a little bit about safety, talk a little bit about news, talk about what's going on in your life, talking about what's going on in mind. And then we kind of go from there. Anyway, so let's talk about what we were seeing over the weekend. According to the hashtags and all that kind of fun stuff. Still magnolias was trending along with actress Olympia Dukakis following the news of her new of her passing more about that Later on Hashtag Kentucky Derby 2021 blame it into the top 10 trending tweets over the weekend. And social media users tweeted photos and videos of themselves celebrating the annual race. All decked out in their Derby best tom brady was called called out for dressing like Judge Doom and uh course many called called out all the folks that are not social distancing and wearing mask at the Derby. Did chris Jericho did something at the Tampa Bay Downs, I think he did something along those lines. Uh let's continue talking. Hashtag socialism in five words made the rounds on twitter over the weekend tweets including hashtags read the power of the pen, all power to the people trump, cultists don't understand socialism, jesus was a brown socialist when conservatives don't like something and like what life would suck without it. Okay, those are the ones that are making the hashtag um also hashtag that was also making the sequence was made a was also attached to many of the tweets, so there you go. So maybe it was more like socialism in seven, not so much in five. Uh, several cereals were trending on sunday after users asked the followers to rank them. The cereals were frosted mini wheats, Apple jacks, Froot loops, frosted flakes, corn pops raising brand rice Krispies, Apple jacks, Rice Krispies. These again, I guess because it was so good the first time and frosted flakes, tick flow. Oh sorry, uh, Rice Krispies, Apple jacks, Rice Krispies Frosted flakes took home the top spots while frosted mini wheat and corn pops tanked in the ranking. So there you go. Um Hashtag also that was making the sequence of events was hashtag happy birthday Dwayne Johnson was trading on sunday as twitter users Passed along birthday wishes to the rock as he turned 49. So there you go. A lot of interesting things for sure. As we do talk about it because you know, that's how the dudes works. It makes it interesting, especially seeing what's going on inside of the world of the hashtags. So there you go. Um, I'll probably tell you about my weekend over after the news because I think that that's going to be, it'll be something to talk about because it was definitely something to talk about when everything was going down. Anyways, here's our friends and feature story news. Let's get them rolling. Here is the news on the safety show from feature story news in London.

A lot of stuff going on inside of the world of the news as you did here right there. So let's continue talking some more. So I have to tell you because sometimes I'm just amazed on some of these things that I do discover. Uh, so I was hanging out over the weekend and decided, you know, I've been trying to do this whole thing where I'm trying to go out into the open and all this other weird stuff that I haven't done in the past because I'm a recluse. Uh, so I've been actually going out, did a camping thing last weekend. So this weekend I was like, let's continue this national park marathon that I've been trying to do as of late. So I decide that I'm going to go out and I'm gonna go to a national park. A matter of fact, a federal park that's not too far from where I live. So I load the family up into this vehicle and we go down and inside of this federal park they have 13 Beach entrances. Now, let me reference the reason that I'm decided that I'm going to go out and do this stuff now, it's gonna want to do this whole thing with nature and all this kind of stuff. So that's kind of fun. But as I get there, there's 13 beach entrances. Well, I guess you know, you really need to pay attention to signs on what exactly things are. So as I decide to do this, I'm looking around And I notice that inside of this beach there have a section for naturalist boy, if you're not familiar with that. That's a surprise when you actually go down there. So apparently beach number 13 or entrance number 13 is for naturalist. So not being fully aware of what exactly that means. Cool. So I said, well let's not go to 13 and let's go to beach entrance number 12. Well, needless to say as I was driving down and going around and about and all that kind of fun stuff. Well, Come to find out that as I get you entrance of beach number 12 Park, get in all the stuff and get in there. Set the tent up. Well, I found out what a naturalist is over the weekend. So I did not realize that a nudist and naturalist seemed to be the same thing. So At section 13 of this federal reserve park that you can go to the beach to, well, there is definitely a nudist section. So there you go. Did not know that and found that out over the weekend. So I guess when you go to new places, you should probably read the signs before you do anything else. Uh some things to think about for sure as we are talking here this morning and doing the things that we do, Always some fun stuff as we are moving and grooving inside of the world. My wires are all messed up anyway. So let's get into some news and talk about what's important to you. It is 13 minutes past the top of the hour. Let's give you what's going on. According to the hit list, the hit list. The hit list. Two people died in 23 were injured After a boat capsized off the off of the coast of San Diego yesterday. And what authorities believe was a human smuggling operation. Nearly 101st responders were on the scene to assist the search at rescue operation. It is not clear what caused the boat to overturn the situation is still ongoing. I so hope that that's what he was still talking about. My uh my naturalist thing and not about the story that I was talking about. I'm sure that that's how the timing worked out. So most of the times when I started talking, there's a there's a minor delay. So I think I got what you meant there. Um, as of sunday, over 245.5 million covid vaccine have been administered nationwide. And over 100 and 4.7 million americans have been fully vaccinated, while more than 100 and 47 million have received at least windows, according to the CDC, the total number of College of cases. And now a little, just a little over 32 million in over 573,700 people have now died. We have seen that number continue to go up, deaths were attributed to that virus. Um, as we continue to talk about him. So there you go, definitely some information there to talk about, consider and so on. As we do move forward talking about these things, you know, that's a, that's a huge number. I mean, regardless of how you look at it, 573 1007 100 anyways, just continue talking Medina spirit pulled off an upset uh, at the 2021 Kentucky Derby, the horse held the lead for the majority of the saturday race before taking home the crown bob.

Do you guys even watch the Kentucky Derby? I mean, I'm just asking a question here. I, I don't know. I don't personally watch it. Um, what do you think about it? Do you if you do watch it? Is it something that you spend time doing? Because that's the other thing, there's a lot of stuff to think about. Of course as we always talk about the weird the world of the weird as it does come about safety in a way. Never heard of before the rated R. Safety show on safety. FM. Oh so before we get into this next one let's make sure that we have our little Q. R. Code here.

I'm not even sure anymore. Uh So the ace, should I just talk about it now or should I just have them bring it up? I don't know. I never know. I never know these things. I just think I know what I'm doing half the time. Okay, let me bring I guess I'll bring up this and then I'll have myself say it in past tense or in future verse is a future verse.

I mean come on Orlando. Uh so there you go. Anyways it is 19 minutes past the top of the hour. Let's continue talking. America's mental health is suffering. Yes. Not a joke here. Before Covid 19. The national mental health wasn't great, but during Covid 19, it has been disastrous. Yeah. Take a listen to this. In 2019 there was a record uh number of suicides over 47,000 and overdoses over 70,000. As well as high rates of depression and anxiety among young people. The then now, if you throw Covid into the mix, the depression rates have tripled As of the last, as of last June fatal overdoses have increased in all time record of 81,000. The suicide rate is harder to calculate and many take years to know the full extent of the pandemic affected those numbers. But according to the Washington Post one in four people under the age of 30 serious considered, I'm taking their own lives over the past year. This is no longer want or wish we must continue or we must really seriously continue talking about this information dealing with mental health. So there you go. We need to talk about this. So this will be a time that we need to focus and we need to really bring this up about our friends at the American Foundation of Suicide prevention. Listen, this is not a joke. This is not you know anything that we should not talk about. We should be talking about this all the time. No number one that you're not alone, whether you have struggled with suicide yourself or have lost a loved one, know that you're not alone here. About personal experiences from people in your local community whose lives have been impacted by suicide and depression. Listen, with those numbers and we were just talking about, we know that the rates are high based on what is going on. We also know that this is a very important conversation that at some point there was a level of shame associated to it. And that's not what we're trying to do. Listen, we all go through struggles Right now. That was telling you that one in four people contemplated under the age of 30 contemplated taking their own life during the pandemic. Just F. Y. I hear we're still in a pandemic. So we need to be talking about these things. So if you want to find out more information of resources that are available, you can go to several different websites. A f s p dot org is one of them a f sp dot org. You can go to a to another website. I I like I like this one and I like the other one a lot to to write Love on her arms. To write Love on her arms. I will tell you they have great resources on both websites of what is available. And to continue this conversation that's so important. If you don't want to go to the websites and you'd rather do a phone call, you can call 1 802 73 talk. That's 1 802 73 talk. That's 1 802 73 talk. Or you can text the word talk to 741741 Seriously, we can't do what we do without you. The most important part. You nobody can fill your position. Nobody can do anything that you are doing. I mean, let's be realistic, you're here for a reason. That's the thing. So let's think about that real quick. Don't do anything. Seriously Don't do anything until you've contacted them. If you're going through these struggles right now, we all go through this at one at one step to another level of depression or contemplating of suicide. Let's be realistic as we do talk about this. There's I mean, I don't know. I feel that most of the times people don't dare talk about this conversation because they don't know what what info might come out of it. But it's something that needs to be talked about. Not sometime all the time. I try to make it a daily conversation about what is going on. I mean, seriously, it really needs to be talked about all the time. Let's continue talking a little bit more here about other things that are going on right now, California is giving over 76,000 inmates their freedom. More than 63,000 of those inmates have been convicted for violent crimes, including 20,000 inmates who are serving life sentences with the possibility of parole. Yeah, possibility. Also, another new rule. More than 10,000 prisoners convicted on second, serious but non violent crimes under the state. Three strikes law will be eligible to be released after serving only half of their sentence. The move is part of the states go of go to further trim the prison population of what one of the nation's largest state correctional systems. I don't even know what to say here. I'm kind of at a total loss of words for that one. But what the f 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 FM. Listen at your own risk rated r. Safety show officers in Houston were shocked when they discovered a home more than 90 people inside after responding to report a kidnapping call on friday of the individuals in the 2000, 300 square foot home, five were adults, females and the rest were males. Multiple people reported possible coronavirus symptoms, prompting a call to the Health Department. Assistant Police chief Darren Edwards called an investigation a disturbing you've been smuggling case, not trafficking thing. So there you go. That's interesting. 90 people inside a 23 100 square foot home. That definitely means that there was no furniture around. I don't know how you fit that many people inside of there. And how do you get that call? So it's a kidnapping called. But what kidnapping of white? That's the other question. As we do talk about it. You hear about this 13 teens were, have been arrested in connection with the shooting of a six year old boy in Yonkers. New york's officers said that the shot was fired. One of two suspects, shooters ages 17 and 15 who were targeting two individuals in a vehicle parked nearby. A 16 year old accomplice was also present for the shooting. The child was reportedly opening the front door when he was struck in the checks by the Stray Bullet. He was rushed to the hospital there where he was listed in stable condition. Over the weekend, two of the teens are facing attempted murder and assault charges. The 13 has been charged with hindering prosecution in criminal possession of a firearm. I don't get it. I mean, I really don't, but I don't understand a lot of this stuff and I guess this is where some of these conversations should probably take place of. Can you please expand my mind for me when it comes to all this stuff of all these shootings? Because I just don't understand it. Anyway, let's continue talking. The Seattle police department is losing officers at a record pace according to the city officials of the S. P. D. Had a police officer or police force of 1276 uniformed officers. And at the end of february or end of 2020. And by the end of february 2021 they have dropped by 249 officers. Seattle police officers, guild guild president Mike. Salon said that moral is not morale is not good, moral, morale is not good and it has and it wasn't because we don't have the political support from the elected officials. Mike said that while that hundreds of officers were injured during the riots, elected officials blame them for being the investigator. Being investigators. What instigators? Oh my God, I can't read. So there you go. So a lot of people are not liking this. So what do you think about this? Do you, are you seeing drops in your area when it comes to the police department, the Sheriff's department, whatever type of officers you have in your area? I asked the question because this seems to be something that's going around across the country, not at the record levels that are going on in Seattle, but it seems to be something that's going on quite a bit. So what do you think here, like when this comes to mind? What is your thought process? Are you seeing it in your area? In what level of concern do you look at it? This is a good thing or a bad thing because that's the whole other portion? Yeah. It's all on how you look at this right now. But the levels seem to be changing and what do you think about this? Is this the impact that you were looking for? Is this the impact of the things that you thought were going to happen? I don't know. I'm asking you the question. This show is almost as enjoyable as hearing the sound of the toilet flush rated r safety show on safety FM. Two people are dead and third seriously wounded after a gunman opened fired in Wisconsin bar on saturday night officers who shot and killed the gunman believed that he was looking for a specific victim who was not there. So he decided to shoot some of the person's friends and co workers. The shooting occurred inside of Duck Creek restaurant, inside of Anita casino radisson Conference center in just, well, I guess it's just a little west of Green Bay. None of the victims or the gunmen have been identified. But this happened over the weekend. I don't get it. I don't really get it. Like this is I swear that we come back to from from the weekend and this is what we talk about most of the time. Some kind of new gun violence occurring in X, Y or Z. So what do you think about this? I mean, I would love to hear your opinion about it. Like I don't know, I'm not asking about anything related to gun control, but I'm asking what do you think should be done? Not asking for a change in the Second Amendment. But what do you think about this? And I know we've had the conversation 1000 times that people that want guns legally or illegally will get guns one way shape or form. But what do you think about all this? I mean what do we what do we talked about so far? 34 stories through three or four news clippings about what is going on and yes I know if you take the percentage of the of the gun violence compared to other things that are going on and so on. But these are the ones that I'm reporting on. This is not even all of them think about it for a moment. It's quite a bit a lot of stuff to think about as we do talk about. I know some people don't like me talking about it but that's okay. We at safety. FM are not responsible for what this idiot behind the microphone is saying is trying to be entertaining rated R. Safety show. So did you hear about this SpaceX safely returned for astronauts from International Space Center On sunday the dragon capsule parachuted into the gulf of Mexico off the coast of Panama City florida just before three a.m. The return, which took about 6.5 hours, was the first under the cover of darkness since the Apollo eight Moonshot. The astronaut had been stationed at the I. S. S. Since last november. So there you go, a 6.5 hour descent. Get it back over here, we're really not dissent. But you know the whole thing of getting getting back. But there you go in the darkness. Panama City. Take me home too. I thought it was Paradise City, not Panama City. But there you go. Panama City is where it was actually going about where things were actually taking place. Pretty interesting stuff. And when you really start thinking about a lot of it there because then what happens? Who knows? I don't know, I want to see if there's any kind of video of the darkness and why they do it in the dark this time. That's another question. Here is our main story on the right safety show. Okay, so let's talk, let's talk. Let's talk about some of the things that are going on inside of this lovely, lovely, lovely world of art. As we do talk. You know, we always focus on some kind of main story. We always focus on what's going on inside of the world of the news and all that kind of fun stuff. But you know, what do you do when you get information that is Well, should I say opposite of what you believe or should I say different than what you um are normally accustomed to? I don't know, maybe we should talk about that, but think about it at times. Think about at times when we're talking, we're doing things that are work organization or maybe we were hanging out at work and you get data, you get information that is totally different than your beliefs, your ideas or your values. You know, you kind of look at this world, we're not gonna talk about process safety because that's not what I want to talk about, but you look at this world of what we do day in and day out for work and you kind of go how this might be against what you believe in. This might be against what some of your thought processes are. This might be against a lot of these things that you think about. I mean just think about it for a moment and there's definitely some things that you might think about and you might consider where you go. Uh I don't know but let's talk about that because there is a moment, There is a moment in time that you have to reflect on some of these things. Because here's the thing I know for years at this point at least it feels like years we've had conversations of, is it worth going against your values for a paycheck? Right. I'll tell you we talked a lot about that um pre pandemic. So it's interesting to think about that now. Would you be willing to risk everything and go against it or go against it if they were giving you a paycheck or would you be willing to walk away? And of course some people were mixed up inside of the box and some text messages and all that kind of fun stuff on what their belief system was. But think about this real quick. So let's talk about cognitive dissonance, which occurs when a person holds contrary beliefs, ideas or values and typically experience as a psychological stress. This is not uncommon when they participate in actions that goes against one or more of their of what they believe in according to this, according to the theory, when to action or ideas are not psychologically consistent. And he uh with each other, people in there and tend to have that moment of, oh my God, what do I do of their power becomes well, you know, they want to change it, they want to do something different but they don't know what to do. What do they do in their power? What do they do? It just, it has become, oh my Lord, I don't know if it's the discomfort that all of a sudden it triggers by, that is triggered by one's personal beliefs that this is something against my foundational core of what I would be doing, or you get new information and its perceived all of a sudden to be. This is not correct. And it's like it's that mind altering moment that it clashes with everything that you have, you know, think about a good movie for a moment that has that twist at the end, or has that momentarily twist that, it's like all the drama or all the suspense is all happening at once. I mean, there's everything is changing, that everything is not what you believed or everything along those. Like it's that moment of boom, there you go. This is something that you not expect people go through, that when they get new information, when it goes against their existing paradigm, when it goes against their existing, whatever you want to use that word right there. So what do you do for that? Because that's the thing a lot of times in our work environments, this is something that comes up, there might be something that is not actually correct to do or it could be correct to do, but totally different viewpoint. It's that moment that if you're an instructor, a facilitator, a teacher where you call it that ah ha moment where you see when people get it, It's that they got that information that is totally different than what their actual believes what I mean. In in a theory of cognitive dissidence back in 1957, it was proposed that human beings strive for internal psychological consistency to further mental mental or their mentality in the real world. A person who experiences internal inconsistencies tends to become psychologically uncomfortable and is motivated to reduce cognitive dissonance, think about that for a moment, they tend to make changes to justify their uh their the stressful behavior and either adding new parts of cognitive causing the psychological dissidents of rationalization or by a voting circumstances. In contrary information likely to increase the magnitude of cognitive distances by confirmation bias. I know that what this you're saying is potentially wrong and I'm gonna prove it by what I already believe in. I mean, let's use the example today, let's talk about a Toyota Corolla. If you don't drive a Toyota Corolla, you probably don't think about Toyota corollas. And if you do go driving around today, tell me how many Toyota Corollas you actually see nothing against the Toyota Corolla by the way. But it's that all of a sudden you're looking for it, you're looking out, you're looking for all this is something like think about it. Think about any time you're going to purchase a new car, let's just use a car for an example. Aren't you amazed on how many of those same type of cars you see on the road after you started looking, even though you've never seen that many before, Why does that work? Why does that go into that particular fashion? So why is it that we have such a hard time adapting to information That might be good or information that might be bad depending on what's going on. Especially if we already have a certain belief system. Why do those things happen, coping with nuances of contrary ideas or experiences mentally stressful? Yes, I know this, but it requires energy and effort to sit with those who seemingly oppose things that seem to be true. Think about that for a moment. This is why I have such a hard time when people will not sit there and have a conversation about different point of views. I can't come on, I can't come onto your platform. No, I can't talk to you because we don't agree. The only way that you're ever going to be able to to be able to look at other people's differences. Get good, bad or indifferent is by conversation. So why are we communicate? That's how things change. Imagine how pissed off you can have you can get by a conversation. Imagine how happy you can get by a conversation. I mean, I can tell you today at the end of the day, I'm gonna give you a million dollars and if you know that that was to be true. How happy would your day be if I was to tell you at the end of the day you're going to be fired? How sad would you be depending on your work environment of course. But those are the things that we should talk about. I'm just using those as extreme examples of course, and sorry for undercutting some people, but think about this for a moment on how different life would be if you were open to the idea of speaking to other people that don't have the exact same point of view as you imagine, how much that world would expand, how much that world would be different. I don't know, I keep on thinking about that quite a bit as of late because I think it's an important topic opposed to just sitting there and going, we can only see things in one method. Unfortunately based on what we do. If you're inside of the world of safety, there are some organizations that try to push that on you. There's some high there's some high level organizations that try to push that on you. You can only believe in what we have to say and no one else. And if you disagree with us, well, we're gonna cut you out. Sounds like something else that I used to I used to know of. Um, but it's weird, it's kind of one of those weird things of why can't people move forward and go down the track and take a look and have that conversation? Why can't we partner with X? Why can't we partner with? Why and why can't we partner with Z? Why is it that if we're open minded enough to be able to expand? Some of the bigger people tend to get scared. Is there a reason to be? I don't think there is. I think it's great to be able to have those conversations. But then again, what do I know guy buying a microphone? What did she 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 FM. Don't go anywhere. You're listening to the home of real Safety talk.

Yeah, readily available on Spotify and itunes. Oh, there you go. There you go. There you go. 43 minutes past the top of the hour is you and I are hanging out this lovely, lovely, lovely, lovely morning. Uh, talking a little bit about everything that's going on inside of the world of the news. Anyways, let's talk about it real quick. Let's talk about some things. Don't know if you hung out on the netflix over the weekend. Yeah, not a joke. Netflix has added a new feature that seems, seems everyone has been asking for. We stopped getting dvds via snail mail shuffle. Yeah. Just in case last week netflix announced, play something, the name they're they're giving to their shuffle feature is now available to all users, extremely company says that place something can perform a few tasks. It will either play a new series or a film similar to what you've watched before it and can automatically play an episode or film that you've already watched. Uh in may want to watch again and it can play an episode from the shows that you've started, but having finished um finished picking up where you left off or in in my case it will play a film similar to the one dude who lent me his password has watched before. Yeah, that's something to think about. Uh and what I really need, what it really needs to choose is something that's not similar to the crap I've watched before because that's probably important and I'm happy to see that this is finally here, but it definitely is not a netflix original that's for sure. And for some reason when I was using it, it kept on showing me a lot of stuff with um Hannah McKay and I don't get it more. Mortal kombat beat down great state. The show. Ah there you go. There you go. So have you heard about the week end? Yeah. The weak W. E. A. K. And E. D. Yeah. So what did you mean? What do you do on the weekend? Yeah. I feel your face with every chance you had what? Yeah, there you go. Probably is in this new study of as accurate. A survey says that they have found that two thirds of us used the weekend meals as a reward for making up through another work week and found that more than two and five, two and 5 44% of adults say they have either they eat better um better food quality on the weekends and they do monday through friday and more than half, 55% believe that um eating can act as a form of therapy. The one poll survey of 2000 americans also revealed that 59% feel that they are too tired at the end of the week day To actually cook anything. Perhaps opting for the fast food drive, thru 31 admitted that just they just want uh not to do dishes during the work day. The problem is that if I choose the quantity over quality on the weekend to, it's funny because my family uses monday meals as a reward for making it through another weekend with me. Alrighty, instead of a cheat day. Now we have a cheat weekend. I don't know why they say cheat because think about that for a moment when you use the word cheat, when it comes to food cheating all of a sudden resembles as a prize. I mean think about that. I was cheating this weekend on having this X, Y. And Z. Food cheating. Huh? I wonder how that would work if you told your spouse I was cheating this weekend. Huh? What? Yeah exactly. Think about that for a moment. Think about why we use that particular term and what do you think about this food thing? Are you going around and um eating whatever you can monday through friday and then on the weekends you try to eat better or vice versa. I'm just asking. I know of people that they hide, they hide what they eat, like they don't want other people to know what they eat, especially their significant other during the week days. Um So it's like they're almost having like an outside relationship with food alone. Think about that before. Safety in a way. Never heard of before. The rated R safety show on safety FM. Oh yeah. Good to the last drop. Yeah. I said that outlined the time honored tradition of struggling to squeeze for the last bit of toothpaste from the tube. Could could become a thing of the past. Colgate has partnered with liquid glide to come up with a new toothpaste tube of coating designed to avoid waste liquid glide went went viral in 2012 with a video showing a ketchup bottle being completely empty. Yeah, that's literally coding technology that uses the boss of the possible possible that it's Colgate with its new Excel or toothpaste uh, frictionless. I don't even know what that means. They say that the traditional tubes, 1 to 13% of the toothpaste goes to waste right now. Colgate is only selling The new clear, completely transparent, fully recyclable toothpaste tubes. What special coding in Europe? No word on when it might be available in North America as well. As you probably pay 40 more to get 13 of your tooth phase out. Trust me with my toothpaste just gets about one goes to waste. And uh, you know, the other people around here, like Sheldon, uh you know, you could like Sheldon who is um, so stingy that he cuts the end of the toothpaste just to get all of it out. That's not a joke. You can actually hit him up on, on his podcast and see exactly what he has to say about it. You can tell him that I sent you over there, it's perfectly fine. We are now video streaming the rated R. Safety show. I don't know why our host has a face for radio rated R. Safety show. Okay, so let's get you ready if you are not aware of this.

I mean, I'm just saying, I'm not saying that this normally default to women because let's make sure that we're clear here, but sometimes a lot of females tend to do this because they're trying to do the motherly thing. There's some motherly thing or the paternal thing, however you wanna word it not condescending in any kind of shape, shape way or form. So let's just make sure that we're clear here. But if you can help out and do something that she would normally go out of the way and that she's doing uh set up a scrapbooking section. If she's into that stuff better than better than digitally.
