Rated R Safety Show with Jay Allen

The comms are redlined and the static’s screaming for blood as we hijack the airwaves for this July 30, 2026 transmission, streaming live from the Safety FM studios in Orlando, Florida. Every broadcast server is jammed into the grid and the feed is ricocheting from the US to the UK to Canada, punching clean through corporate nonsense and filtering the noise with a steel boot. Today's operation rips apart the suffocating bureaucracy of the so-called "professional" safety world, shining klieg lights on pointless meeting layers, closed-door risk committees, and the endless echo of the Black Iron Prison. If you’ve had it with empty compliance rituals, this hour is your antidote—flip the override and confront the Map manipulators head-on.

Theme: It’s all about nuking low-entropy safety culture and exposing the multi-layered charade that passes for leadership in the modern workplace. The System isn’t just broken, it’s designed to keep all actual signals trapped under layers of stagnant approval loops and status-obsessed committees. If nothing ever changes in your corner of the multiverse, this episode lays out exactly why.

Track Breakdown & Segment Notes

The Committee Gridlock: The conversation focused on the real enemy of operational signal—pointless layers. One concept discussed was how businesses, even with barely 300 people, draft themselves into mini-Black Iron Prisons by stacking C-suite, steering, and risk committees, each stuffed with the same self-important faces, strangling any chance of real, high-entropy transformation.

Low-Entropy Safety Theater: A key theme that emerged was the obsession with manufactured titles and the relentless focus on the Map. The discussion explored how small and large organizations alike often chase Fortune 500 optics, with endless rounds of approval and built-in bureaucratic dead ends, ensuring nothing meaningful gets done.

Signal Corruption and Systemic Politicking: Several points were raised, including how good ideas rot for months in committee hell, how politicking replaces forward motion, and how the entrenched guardians of the Map use overlapping authority to squash real change under the weight of compliance theater.

Speaker A [00:02:11]:
Oh yes, yes, yes. It does not matter who the host is. What has always mattered is who the listeners are. Anyways, today is Thursday, July the 30th of 2026, and we are broadcasting from the Safety FM studios in Orlando, Florida. and coming across the multiverse known as Safety FM and then hanging out with our friends and colleagues over there. Rio, USA, Canada, UK. Oh yes. Getting to do all the fun stuff that we get to do. No doubt about that. As we are hanging out and doing all of the stuff, no doubt about that. So there you go. Anyways, how's the last 24 hours or so been for you? Hopefully they've been good and grandiose. So you've got to do all kinds of, uh, well, how should we say it? Magical things in regards to the stuff that's going on, that's for sure. So let's talk about it. So let's see what we do around here. Our show consists of safety in the news, news and safety. That's just kind of how we go about, uh, doing, um, things around here. That's how we do it. We— that's what we talk about. We bring in some professional broadcasters for them to tell you what exactly is going on inside of their multiverse, and then we kind of go from there. That is the whole kit and caboodle of the show. We kind of bring out, um, some different themes as we go. The professional broadcasters will tell you exactly what's going on, and I will give you every crazy news story. Well, not really all the crazy ones, but I will give you every news story that I'm able to find that we can get into, into this hour. Now keep in mind that we are a radio station first, followed by a podcast network, then followed into video streaming. You will see a clustering of that stuff as we are going on. So you can listen to us right now live on safetyfm.com. You can listen to us live on radiobig.fm, or, or, or, or, or you can do us in the podcast catcher. Then if you have one of those like 2.0 podcast catchers, it does it in kind of real time is the way that from the understanding that I have. But what do I know? I'm just a guy here talking behind the microphone. So with that being said, I do have some friends from Feature Story News that are waiting that they want to do some stuff. So we'll try to get that started right away. But the other side is that if you want to interact, callinradio.com is the easiest way to do that. Audio, video, and text messaging is kind of what happens there. And then once that occurs, boom, baby, it's, it's a run. We're just running, running, running and going from there. That's just kind of the whole kit. And then we do, we do our thing. So if you're good with it, I'm good with it. We can bring in our friends from Feature Story News. Let them tell you what the hell is going on, and then we just go ahead and start having a great day. Yeah, great day. So if you're good with the news, I'm good with the news. So let's do that. No, seriously, let's go ahead and do that.

Speaker B [00:05:10]:
Here is the news on the Radio Hour Safety Show.

Speaker E [00:05:13]:
From Feature Story News in New Delhi, I'm Neha Punia. The U.S. has attacked Iran after the country's Revolutionary Guard fired multiple ballistic missiles at American military installations in Jordan. The attack shattered a multi-day pause in fighting and came as U.S. and Saudi fighter jets launched joint strikes against Iran-aligned militia targets in Iraq. Tehran says it does not seek escalation, but the conflict is now drawing in new countries across the region. Jagruti Dave has more.

Speaker F [00:05:43]:
There were always fears that this war would widen across the region, and this appears to be the first indication of that fear coming true with those joint US-Saudi Arabian strikes on Iran-backed groups in Iraq. You've heard from US Central Command issuing a statement on social media about the strikes that they were joint airstrikes conducted by US and Saudi Arabian aircraft against logistics and weapons sites in eastern Iraq, saying that this was in response to Iran targeting its proxies in Iraq to target US forces and Saudi Arabian energy infrastructure. And US Central Command urges Iran and its groups, the groups that it backs, to stop its activities if it doesn't want to see further reprisals.

Speaker E [00:06:32]:
The US Federal Reserve has left rates unchanged, and this decision to hold rates initially raised hopes of a recovery, but heavy selling returned in the final minutes of trading on Wednesday. Fed Chairman Kevin Walsh gave little indication of when where interest rates are headed while stressing the central bank would take whatever steps are needed to curb inflation. Mitch McCann has more.

Speaker G [00:06:54]:
On one hand, Kevin Walsh said that the Fed would not provide hints on where rate policy is going to go in the coming months, but he said they would take the necessary steps to reach that 2% target that they haven't reached now for about 5 years. He said he understands the desire for rolling forecasts and rolling commentary, but he said we need to observe market reaction to the developments direct and unfiltered. So Kevin Walsh there, Really not, you know, making any indication, I think, around where things might be headed in the short term.

Speaker E [00:07:23]:
The death toll from a major earthquake in Japan has now climbed to 28, and residents are now dealing with aftershocks in sweltering summer temperatures.

Speaker H [00:07:31]:
Rescuers are still working to try to find any survivors, including at a shopping center, one of the worst-hit buildings where a portion of the second floor collapsed. It remains unclear the number of those missing. Thousands of displaced residents are now staying in evacuation centers, and experts say the challenge is to keep them cool and hydrated as the region battles sweltering heat. Some homes are still without power, and aid organizations say getting water to the vulnerable is a priority. Temperatures could reach 39 degrees Celsius in the coming days. Laura Westbrook, Hong Kong.

Speaker E [00:08:10]:
From bureaus worldwide, this is FSN.

Speaker I [00:08:12]:
With FSN Spotlight, I'm Simon Marks, with more today from Nate Swanson, the fired U.S. government official who was involved in negotiations with Iran before he published an article accurately predicting that the regime would not capitulate to American force and would instead exploit its control over the Strait of Hormuz. He was shown the door by the Trump administration days before the February war began. Today, who is advising the US president?

Speaker J [00:08:38]:
This is unique, you know, a unique situation where the president has just much more day-to-day involvement than any of his predecessors on all areas of decision-making. But those around him is pretty narrow, right? This is not a bottom-up system where you have a normal bureaucracy working through a, you know, working level to deputies to principals to go to the president. I mean, you basically have a few select cabinet principals who are advising him. You know, Marco Rubio is obviously there, J.D. Vance, and you have the president's son-in-law Kushner and Whitkopf, and maybe, you know, Hegseth on military matters, but it's really small. The room, I think, is significantly smaller than anything I've ever seen before. And if Trump wants a really small room of advisers, that's okay. But, you know, ultimately, you got to be judged on the results, and the results of the Iran war are You know, I think a failure.

Speaker I [00:09:34]:
Mr. Swanson spoke to Foreign Policy magazine. Tomorrow, what he thinks President Trump wants from the conflict. With FSN Spotlight, I'm Simon Marks.

Speaker E [00:09:42]:
The main news again. U.S. attacks Iran after the country's Revolutionary Guard fired multiple ballistic missiles at American military installations in Jordan. The attack has shattered a multi-day pause in fighting. Tehran says it does not seek escalation, but the conflict is now drawing in new countries across the region. The death toll from a major earthquake in Japan has climbed to 28 as the search for those still trapped inside a badly damaged shopping mall continues. And that is the latest feature story news. Neha Punia reporting.

Speaker A [00:15:13]:
With streams so crisp that you can feel the sarcasm. In your earholes, Radio Big. Okay, so let's get into it. Currently 15 minutes past the top of the hour as you and I are hanging out on this lovely Thursday. I almost called it Wednesday because my brain is still fried. Okay, so with that being said, a lot of stuff to go into. So where do you want to start? You are aware that there was one thing that was going on yesterday, uh, that the world couldn't shut up about. I mean that in the best way possible, because I— it was interesting because I was seeing some people post online about it and they were talking about, oh, the unvaccinated was proven correct. And then I heard, oh, I respect this man more than anyone for not answering these questions. So let's talk about this. Dr. Anthony Fauci invoked his 5th Amendment right during a contingent— Let's see. One of those, uh, very diplomatic events that took place at the Senate, uh, hearing led by Ron Paul, refusing to answer more than 50 questions about the origins of COVID-19 and other topics. In his opening statement, Fauci accused Paul of having unhinged obsession with prosecuting him, arguing that the hearing was designed as a trap for him into making statements that could be used against him. He cited that Paul repeated calls to have him jailed, um, and jailed In the recent release of his personal diaries as evidence of what he described as a personal campaign against him, the hearing grew more heated when Fauci's attorney, uh, tried to address the committee and was removed by the Capitol Police after Chairman Paul ruled that he was out of order. Paul later, uh, defended his decision, saying that the attorney cannot argue a client's innocence while the client refuses to testify by invoking the Fifth Amendment right. Josh Hawley also questioned Fauci, accusing him of using federal employees to help secure cash awards and arguing that presidential pardon would eliminate Fauci's Fifth Amendment protection against self-incrimination. Fauci declined to answer those questions as well. The hearing came days after Paul released Fauci's personal diaries, highlighting entries that described conversations with celebrities such as Barbra Streisand during the pandemic. Paul argued that the diaries showed that Fauci enjoyed the celebrity attention. that he received while serving as one of the nation's leading health officials. Take a listen to what was said.

Speaker M [00:17:50]:
Given Senator Paul's obvious obsession with calling for my prosecution, the only conclusion I can reach is that the sole reason he is calling me before this committee is to get me to say something, anything, that could vindicate his repeated public pledges that I end up, in his words, quote, behind bars, unquote. Any reasonable person who has followed his unhinged obsession with me would readily come to the same conclusion. Therefore, under the advice of my attorneys, I will invoke my right under the 5th Amendment of the Constitution to refrain from answering your questions.

Speaker A [00:18:45]:
Okay, so that made some people, depending on what side of the aisle that you're on, um, okay, and some people extremely pissed off. And there were some that were even going as far as saying this proves that, you know, everything that we said As we are unvaccinated, stated by the posts that I have read, that we were correct the whole time. Now, I don't know if that's right. I don't know if it's wrong. All I know is the guy decided that he was not going to answer questions by pleading his Fifth Amendment right. That will piss people off. That will get some people excited depending on where you're sitting. I don't know. It's kind of one of those weird scenarios. And listen, I don't know how people react to things. When it comes to certain level of stuff. So I don't want to sit here and be like, oh yeah, I know this, I know how this works. Some people get excited about interactions with other people. That's just kind of part of life, good, bad, or indifferent. You can enjoy it, you can hate it. Kind of a weird— the weird thing is, imagine this for a moment. You have a diary, you put in whatever it is that you put in your diary, your journal. And then all of a sudden somebody says, oh yeah, we're gonna get a hold of those damn things and we're gonna read them to the public. Talk about scary times.

Speaker C [00:20:02]:
Duh.

Speaker A [00:20:03]:
Because, you know, you normally journal for a couple of different reasons. You journal or put something into a diary, either you're trying to do a self-reflection, it might be something that you go back to, or you just kind of feel like you need to get everything out and then go from there. I don't know which one it was there, but man, that had to be interesting to go, Oh yeah, we're reading your shit and, uh, we're, we're gonna haul you in in regards of that. So kind of a weird thing, but whatever. Let's continue talking because, you know, there was more than just the Fauci thing occurring yesterday. Uh, so some people will actually probably not believe that, but yeah, there was things that occurred. Now let's talk about this one real quick because this one got interesting. More than 12 million bottles of Roto eye drops are being recalled nationwide after the manufacturer identified a potential, uh, sterilizing issue that caused That could pose a temporary risk to your vision. The FDA classified the action as a Class II recall, meaning that the use of the product could cause medical, uh, reversible health effects. Although no illness or injuries have been reported, the recall affects 6 over-the-counter Rethro products, all including All-in-One Max Strength, Opti-Glo, Digi-Eye, Dry Eye, and Cool Relief. Sold across the U.S., expiration dates through August 2028. The issue resolves or involves a lack of assurance in sterility and raising concerns the drops could be contaminated. While the FDA has not issued special guidance to consumers, similar recalls have advised people to stop using the product immediately and dispose of them or return them for a refund. So there you go, some stuff to think about.

Speaker C [00:21:46]:
I don't know.

Speaker A [00:21:47]:
I remember there was that whole hot mess with some eye drops there for a hot minute that people were looking at and going, oh yeah, I can't see after I use them. Probably not, you know, probably a little hesitant about putting stuff in your eyes when it's all said and done. I'm just saying here for just a moment. Okay, so with that being said, let's talk about some other stuff. Marjorie Taylor Greene and former television reporter Brian Glenn have tied the knot in a surprise wedding on the Las Vegas Strip. The couple exchanged vows on July 28th at the Bellagio, the famous fountain serving as the backdrop. Greene shared photos from the ceremony on social media, writing that she and Glenn were surrounded by family when they said I do. The 2 met at a Trump rally in 2022, began dating in 2023 after Greene's divorce, and got engaged in Washington, D.C. in late 2025. Following the ceremony, newlyweds celebrated with a dinner and reportedly tried their luck in the casinos alongside friends and family. So there you go. Yeah, I didn't realize that I was going to be reading this as a major news story. No, seriously. I mean, congratulations to the couple. I mean, if you want to get married, get married. If you don't want to get married, don't get married. I mean, I don't know where we're going here, but yeah, it gets interesting as, you know, things happen. I guess the Bellagio.

Speaker M [00:23:11]:
Okay.

Speaker A [00:23:12]:
It's different. Okay, let's continue talking about some other things. A fragile ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran collapsed after Iran launched a surprise ballistic attack on Tuesday targeting American forces in the Middle East. U.S. officials said that the air defenses intercepted the missiles with only minutes to spare. President Trump vowed a forceful response, saying that the U.S. would hit them very hard. Yesterday, U.S. Central Command, working alongside Saudi Arabia military, carried out retaliatory strikes against Iranian-aligned militants in Iraq accused of launching drone attacks at U.S. troops and the Saudi energy facilities. The administration described the operation as a direct response to Iran's attempted attacks. The escalation came just hours after Israel, um, Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with President Trump at the White House to discuss the regional conflict. Netanyahu remained in Washington, adding, uh, for additional meetings, better saying, with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth coming up. So there you go. I don't know, I'm just telling you how it's there. That's the info. What do you think? So there you go, some interesting stuff, no doubt about that. Okay, so let's talk about this real quick because I have to talk about it. And it's going to involve— I guess we'll say, uh, celebrity action here is the only way that I can put it. But 4 women have moved forward with the allegation of criminal sexual conduct against actor and musician Jared Leto, claiming that the incident occurred when they were, uh, teenagers. Their accounts, uh, their accounts appear on the BBC's new documentary Jared Leto's Hollywood Dark Secret. Which features testimony from 10 women, 9 of whom are speaking publicly for the first time, uh, about an alleged encounter spanning from 2002 to 2016. The BBC says that Leto did not respond to a repeated request for comments. Beyond these 4 criminal allegations, several other women describe inappropriate sexual phone calls from Leto, uh, when they were minors. The documentary also includes accounts from women who say that Leto behaved inappropriately at concerts and fan events. One woman identified as Taylor said that she met him when she was 14 during a 30 Seconds to Mars meet and greet in 2005, and she claims that he signed her shirt across her chest and commented on her rack, then attempted to have the bodyguard take her backstage. When her mother confronted him, Taylor said that Leto repeated Repeatedly, repeated the comments dismissively. So there you go. A lot of stuff probably going to happen with that one as we are going forward. I mean, let's just be realistic. There's a lot of stuff that has come out in regards of Jared Leto about just, we'll call it odd behavior. I don't, I'm not familiar with the documentary. I'm just telling you what's there, but there's some odd behavior. Doesn't he have like an event that's open that's kind of like a 3-day retreat type of thing? But there is a ticket, if I recall correctly, because this was kind of a big deal when it was being released, that you could sleep in the same room for like $15,000 that Jared Leto was in. Yeah, that was part of the gig. So I don't know, kind of just— I I can't say that, you know, he did anything, or I can't say that he didn't do anything. It's— what do they say? Innocent until proven guilty. But there are some strange behaviors, and just because strange behavior does not necessarily mean that you're a bad person, I'm just saying it's some strange behaviors. So there you go. So let's continue talking about some other things that are going on. Houston TV news anchor Daniela Guzman has been suspended from KPRC while the station investigates allegations that she accepted complimentary tickets to the World Cup match and a Bruno Mars concert. Records reportedly showed that she received 3 tickets to a Portugal match and a luxury suite and 4 tickets to the concert, perks worth thousands of dollars. Station says it is investigating whether accepting the tickets created a conflict of interest or even an appearance of one, citing journalistic ethics policy. Guzmán, a 4-time Emmy Award-winning anchor, had posted photos and videos from the World Cup game with her parents on social media. The investigation comes as questions are also raised about the public officials who reportedly received complimentary tickets. Apparently breaking news now includes breaking the ticket— the free ticket policy. She covered the World Cup from the luxury suite and her next assignment covering ethics training is what it sounds like. The tickets were complimentary. The suspicion wasn't. She got backstage access and now she's getting HR access is what it sounds like.

Speaker B [00:28:16]:
I don't know.

Speaker A [00:28:17]:
I think it's kind of weird. Because most organizations will have a limit to what you can receive. Now, I will tell you, there's a guy that I interact with that used to be part of the federal government. And do you want me to tell you what, uh, how much he could receive? $25. So I'll put it to you this way, even taking the guy to lunch was a pain in the ass to do if you were trying to buy lunch, because then you're kind of sitting there doing this weird-ass math stuff trying to figure out what exactly is going on.

Speaker G [00:28:54]:
Duh.

Speaker A [00:28:54]:
And so it becomes just extremely strange. So I don't know, I just find it weird when it's all said and done. So there you go, just saying. Let's continue talking about some other stuff that is going on. So take a listen to this. The American Red Cross has declared only the second national blood supply crisis in its history, warning that the donations have fallen so sharply that it now has less than a 1-day supply of type O blood, the most commonly used blood type in hospitals. The organization says that blood donations have dropped by 25% over the past month and are no longer keeping pace with hospital demands. As a result, the Red Cross has begun limiting type O shipments to hospitals, forcing some facilities to prioritize emergency patients while delaying certain non-emergency procedures. Summer vacation extreme heat and the loss of school blood drives, um, and an increase in traumatic injuries during the summer months have all contributed to the shortage. Trauma victims, mothers experiencing severe bleeding, emergency surgery patients, and people undergoing cancer treatments or organ transplants are among those most affected by the dwindling supply. The Red Cross is urging Eligible donors of all blood types to schedule a donation as soon as possible, saying that just 3 additional donors at every blood drive this summer could help stabilize the nation's blood supply. So there you go. What an interesting time on how we go through this. I remember there has been events that have occurred here in Orlando that the moment that you see something along those lines, boom, people are going out there and just kind of standing in line just to be able to donate blood. Then you have other portions, uh, that you kind of go, okay, this could be a problem. So there you go. Okay, so let's go into this one real quick before we get into our main story. A new study suggests that eating junk food— uh, hold on— food-heavy diet early in life could have lasting effects on your memory. Researchers in the University of Southern California found that Young rats fed high-fat, high-sugar foods had trouble remembering where they found food, even, uh, let's see, even after switching back to healthy diet. Scientists say that the problem appears to involve gut-brain connection. Normally, nutrition from real food trigger signals through the, uh, through the vagus nerves to help the brain form memories during and after the meal, but junk food diet weakened Those signals, making it harder for the rats to remember the food location and respond to natural I'm-full hormones. The researchers cautioned that the study was conducted only on male rats, so it's not clear yet whether the same effect occurs in humans. The findings add to growing evidence that diet during childhood could affect long-term impact on brain health. So what do you think here? Definitely an interesting one. So there you go. So now let's see, let's see, let's see, let's see what's gonna happen, because man, that gets very interesting. Scientists finally proved that pizza isn't a memory supplement after all these years that people have been debating about it, I guess, is the way they'll look at it. So there you go, some stuff to, um, to think about as we are talking. So there you go. Anyways, 32 minutes passed. Let's go ahead and do it. Let's go ahead and get into that thing that we call Our main story, because it is time to do some things around here in regards of talking about that. So, there you go.

Speaker B [00:32:38]:
Here is our main story on the Rated R Safety Show.

Speaker A [00:32:43]:
So, let's go ahead and get into that main story time and talk a little bit about everything that we kind of revolve the show around, just to have a better understanding of what the hell we're doing around here. So, listen, I don't know how it works inside of your organization. And it gets weird at times because you are aware that depending on your organizational size, let me— things can get kind of strange. It's just really how it works. Like, I have such a hard time with this, and I don't know why I do, but I just do. You are aware that if you do start a business, you can assign yourself whatever title you want. It's just kind of that easy. And I'm always amazed when you interact with someone Who has, um, that owns a company, a one-person company, but they're the CEO, chief executive officer of the company. You know, you're just the owner of the company, but whatever, whatever makes you happy. But because you have that kind of authority inside of your organization, it becomes weird sometimes when you start doing some assignments. And some smaller organizations want to lay out the land. Like if they were a huge Fortune 500 company. So it becomes extremely strange. So I want you to think about this for a moment. I want you to think about how some of these companies are structured. Now, I will tell you, I worked at a company that had about 300 people in it. Yeah, 300. So in the world of small companies, that's not really small. It's not large. It's not medium. You're kind of like happy scale there. It's kind of the way to work at it. And I remember they had a steering committee is what they called it. Now this steering committee would address how the C-suite talked about stuff. And then they would say on how the company needs to realign to steer the direction that the C-suite wanted to go to. Not a problem. I mean, if you want to have that as a—

Speaker L [00:34:45]:
Yeah.

Speaker A [00:34:45]:
one of the layers of what's going on within the organization, that's perfectly fine. Now, the weird part became this: because you have the C-suite and then you had the steering committee, the weird thing was that some of the people that were in the C-suite were also in the steering committee. So I wouldn't understand how some of these things wouldn't possibly align, especially if you have the same people in one that are in the next. So let's stay there real quick. So on top of that, at this particular organization, they also had something called the Risk Committee. C-suite steering committee, now the Risk Committee. Now the Risk Committee would also take a look at it, and then they would make a determination on what kind of risk the company was in front of if they were going to follow X, Y, and Z.

Speaker K [00:35:50]:
Okay.

Speaker A [00:35:52]:
Got it. Now guess what I'm going to tell you? I think you already know, but I'll share it with you anyways. The risk committee had a good chunk of people That were already in the C-suite, that were also in the steering committee, were also part of the risk committee. So let me explain to you how the politicking had to occur from time to time. So there was times that if you wanted to have something change within the organization, you had to go talk to the different layers. And here's how it worked. You would first have to go to the risk committee and tell them what you were trying to change. And then if that was approved, then you would have to go to the steering committee to make sure that the risk committee had already approved what they were saying. And then if the steering committee approved it, then guess where you went? You went to the C-suite and talked about this again. So at no point was there ever layering where it all kind of worked in a giant swoop. Now, where it got funny was the following step. So let's say, for instance, you were blessed enough to get into the risk committee, which normally took about a month or 2 before they would even see you once you said that you wanted to bring something to order. So guess what would happen? The moment you got approved by the risk committee, if they passed through whatever you were laying out, which you had to give like a full-blown presentation and a full-blown idea on why this would work. And if they approved it within that one meeting, not saying that they needed to discuss it in the next one, then you would go to the steering committee. But guess what happens? Well, if the steering committee and the risk committee were meeting on the same day, Your risk committee stuff would not make it to the steering committee, not on the same day, because it was not part of their agenda. So automatically, you already knew that you had a full month built in before anything was going to be addressed. A full month. So if you were lucky enough to make it to that second meeting, then here's what would occur. After that, if they approved anything, then you're going to the C-suite. So we're talking about by the time that you get any of this done, if you're going kind of full force, we're talking 3 months. So you better have a strong standing on how this is going to work for you. Now here's the other pain in the asshole of the whole thing. Because some of these people were in these different environments, meaning the risk committee, the steering committee, and the C-suite. If they disagreed with something and the majority pushed it forward, guess what was going to happen in the next meeting? You were going to have the same dumb argument about what you wanted to change with the person that did not agree that it should change. And that was going to happen over and over again throughout the layers. Now, you're probably sitting here going, why are we discussing this today? And that's perfectly fine. I think it's a great question. The reason why we're discussing this is I want you to understand the level of politicking that even occurs in small companies that happen into larger organizations. So sometimes when you get to interact with middle management, it's not that they are trying not to push forward what you want. It sometimes just becomes very difficult because of the, call it bullshit, that happens in the background. And this is why we have always said, forget the corporate bullshit, because those are the levels that somebody has to go to, to go fight and argue in regards to what needs to happen. So, look at it from this standpoint. It's not that the people within the organization don't want to help you. It's that sometimes the bureaucracy is just so much and how much bullshit you have to go through just to make sure that things get finalized.

Speaker N [00:40:17]:

Speaker A [00:40:18]:

Speaker D [00:40:34]:
In safety, in my opinion, you woke up. You saw the system, the simulation, the structure that trained you to mistake compliance for care. Safety mutation. Information misdirection picks up where the signal fractured because the system didn't shut you down. It rebranded you. It packaged your voice. Sold your rebellion as a new initiative. And smiled while doing it. This isn't a manual. It's a decoded transmission about what happens when slogans replace stories, when safety becomes marketing, and when truth gets mirrored so perfectly you forget it was ever yours. You'll see the mutation. Learning teams turned into theater. Zero harm, turned into optics, and feedback turned into formatting. But the signal didn't die. It was redirected. Safety Mutation is book 2 of the Signal Transmission Trilogy, available now in print, Kindle, and audiobook, narrated by the author J. Allen, PhD. Because the system adapted, now it's your move.

Courtesy of jayscasemedical.com, today's quote was submitted by Carlos. Walter Cronkite said, success is more permanent when you achieve it without destroying your principles. I agree. Be yourself and be honest about who you are. I recently watched somebody try to morph into They pretended to be a completely different person to get a job they thought they were gonna like. Then they got the job and they hated every minute of it. A few weeks later, they quit, but they burned some bridges along the way. Now they're trying to decide where they're going in the future. I think it's pretty good to know this lesson. If you need to pretend to be someone else to get a job, don't do it. Be yourself and you'll have a better chance of being happy with whatever you do. choose to do. Why take any job that's not a good fit for you? This has been the Motivation Minute. I'm John Small.

Another pitfall of our Rated R, safety show.

Speaker A [00:52:36]:
Okay, spitballing and pitballing is what it sounds like for sure, as we are hanging out doing all the fun stuff that we get to do, no doubt about that one. So let's go ahead and talk about some things that happened back on this date. Back in 1909, the US Army accepts delivery of its first military airplane. What else do we got? In 1956, the US motto In God We Trust is authorized. In 1971, US Apollo 2015, lands in the— on the bare embryo of the moon. In 1984, soap opera Santa Barbara premieres on NBC. In 1991, MTV announces it will split into 3 channels in 1993. So there you go. There you go. Some stuff there. Let's talk about some celebrity birthdays going on today. Buddy Guy turns 90.

Speaker C [00:53:31]:
Paul Anka Turns 85.

Speaker A [00:53:34]:
Arnold Schwarzenegger turns 79 today. Delta Burke turns 70. Laurence Fishburne, 65. Lisa Kudrow turns 63. Vivica A. Fox turns 62. Christopher Nolan turns 56. Hilary Swank turns 52. And, uh, Phineas O'Connell turns 29 today. Just so you know, he has a very famous sister, but he is normally the producer for all of her music, and that would be Billie Eilish, just in case. So there you go, some stuff going on right there as we are talking, uh, no doubt about that. Let's talk about some things that you ought to know. President Trump has unveiled a $22.5 billion proposal to overhaul Washington Dulles International Airport, calling it one of the world's most, uh, frustrating airports. The plan would be to eliminate the airport's long-criticized PeopleMover shuttle system, build new terminals, and significantly expand the passenger space to modernize the travel experience. While much of the airport would be redesigned, the president says the airport's iconic main terminal, designed by renowned architect I.M. Pei, would be preserved. Trump has long praised the terminal architecture while criticizing the rest of the airport as outdated and in need of a major upgrade. Also, just in case you wanted Yeah, I'm going to share this with you. There are 148 days until Christmas. Just thought you should know that because it seems to be important for some people, uh, because sometimes they tend to forget when it is during the year. Just so you know.

Speaker E [00:55:10]:
Okay.

Speaker A [00:55:10]:
A nationwide outbreak, um, has become the largest ever recorded in the United States. CDC is reporting that more than 18,000 suspected cases and over 6,700 lab-confirmed infections since May of the parasitic illness which can cause severe explosive diarrhea has now spread to 45 states. The number of confirmed cases jumped from 2,500 in just over one week. So far, 423 people have been hospitalized, but no deaths have been reported. Michigan has been hit the hardest, accounting for more than 10,000 suspected cases, and health officials continue to investigate the source of the outbreak and urge the public to practice safe food handling. So there you go. Also, in some other news, the Trump administration is ending temporary Medicare Part D subsidy programs that helped keep prescription drugs insurance premiums lower for millions of seniors. The program expires at the end of the year, which created to stabilize the cost of prescription drug plans. Center of Medical and Medicare Services Administration, Mehmet Oz, said the subsidies primarily benefited the large insurance companies, and the administration believes the program is no longer justified. Yep, that's what he said. The change is expected to raise the prescription drug plan premiums and increase out-of-pocket costs on about half of Medicare Part D beneficiaries, affecting millions of older Americans who rely on the program for their prescriptions. So there you go. Also, here are last night's winning Powerball numbers. Jackpot was $663 million. It was 30, 36, 40, 42, 57. Powerball was 2 and Power Play was 2 as well. So there you go. If you played, I hope it went well for you. So there you go. Anyways, let's give you some words of wisdom for today. The habits you repeat become your life to live. And if you need some advice for today, here you go. Use cream of tartar as a cleanser to brighten stainless steel. What kind of odor would it have? I'm just curious. Anyway, so that's it. That's gonna sum up our time together. At the top of the hour, I will be going over to radiobig.fm, um, hanging out for the next couple hours or so talking about the world of music and talking about the world of entertainment. That's on radiobig.fm. You can come over there and hang out with me for the next couple hours or so starting at the 8 AM Eastern time hour. If you don't want to go over there, that's perfectly fine. You can hang out here on Safety FM with the likes of Sheldon Primus as he talks about the world of safety consulting. Yep. That's how it goes. That's how we move our thing. No doubt about that. So with that being said, let's just do this. Let's get you outta here because I know who you are.

Speaker J [00:57:59]:
Duh.

Speaker A [00:57:59]:
You know who I am. Love you, mean it. And, uh, should I say, sayonara? Goodbye.
