Speaker D [00:04:43]:
So with that being said, boom, callinradio.com, easiest way to do it. I have my friends right now waiting from Feature Story News, ready to talk about what the hell's going inside of the news stories. Remember, we'll cover a little bit about news. We'll cover a little bit of this, a little bit about that. And then what happened? Boom, main story, middle of the thing, and we start running, running, running, running, running, running. I know it gets confusing sometimes, but man, is it fun when we start doing our thing.
Speaker F [00:05:10]:
No doubt about that.
Speaker D [00:05:12]:
So let's get our friends here from Feature Story News and we'll get the whole thing rolling.
Speaker E [00:05:17]:
Here is the news on the Radar Safety Show.
Speaker I [00:05:20]:
From Feature Story News in New Delhi, I'm Ishan Garg. Shares in Jio Platforms have begun trading on the Mumbai Stock Exchange in India's largest ever initial public offering, valued at approximately $108 billion. The $3.2 billion share sale attracted $77 billion in bids, making it the most oversubscribed offering in Indian history, though analysts have cautioned that strong demand does not always translate into share price gains. India's equity markets have been under pressure in recent weeks, adding uncertainty to the debut. Rebecca Bunton reports from Mumbai.
Speaker J [00:05:53]:
We saw it being 22 times oversubscribed, so a huge investor rush for that. But now everyone's watching to see, does this actually translate into gains in the share price when it actually lists? And analysts are saying that, you know, it's not necessarily the case that those 2 things go hand in hand, having strong demand for an IPO, especially of such a large size, and then seeing the share price rise massively, especially at a time when we know that India's equity markets have been fairly weak and under under pressure.
Speaker I [00:06:26]:
Exit polls from Israel's parliamentary elections show neither the pro-Netanyahu bloc nor the opposition bloc has secured the 61 seats needed to form a government. Israeli television projections give Eisenkot's bloc between 52 and 53 seats, while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's coalition of right-wing parties is projected to win around 50, a sharp drop from the 68 seats it held in the outgoing Knesset. Voter turnout reached nearly 78%, the highest in almost 4 decades. Blake Sifton reports from Tel Aviv.
Speaker K [00:06:55]:
Yeshar was expected to top the list and win the most seats. But what was expected and has happened is that Gadi Eisenkot's bloc of anti-Netanyahu parties, the so-called Change bloc, they are also predicted to win the most seats, 53 or 52, compared to the Netanyahu coalition of right-wing and far-right-wing parties, which are predicted to win 50 seats. Now, this means that neither bloc has a clear path to victory, and we could be facing weeks or months of political uncertainty as both parties maneuver and try to form a government.
Speaker I [00:07:29]:
Meta has stopped accepting new political advertisements in the US ahead of the midterm elections, imposing a blackout through the 3rd of November as campaigns and outside groups have spent more than $137 million on AI-generated adverts in the midterm elections.
Speaker L [00:07:43]:
There's still no comprehensive federal law nationwide that governs AI-generated political advertising or indeed AI in general. And so enforcement remains a challenge. Some social media companies have taken action themselves. Meta, for example, does require disclosure of certain AI-generated political ads, and it adds labels to content that it identifies as AI-generated. And it restricts— it says it restricts new political ads during the final week of any campaign. But identifying this content is very difficult.
Speaker M [00:08:19]:
With FSN Spotlight, I'm Simon Marks. Today, how are the Russians viewing President Trump's recent turn in Moscow's favor as he continues to express great frustration with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. The White House argues Ukraine's bombing of Russian oil refineries is to blame for soaring energy prices, not the US leader's own war on Iran. But former CIA analyst Andrea Kendall Taylor, now with the Center for a New American Security, says the Kremlin is taking temporary advantage of a situation that might not last.
Speaker N [00:08:52]:
If you read through Russian newspapers over the last 2 weeks, there's a lot of excitement about the things that Trump is doing. But they understand President Trump is mercurial, that he is unpredictable, that he has repeatedly changed track. And so they view this as a temporary opening. There's public recognition that Trump, after the midterms, or certainly another U.S. leader, could change course. The perspective from Moscow, at least, is to try to pocket as many concessions as they can while Trump is in this particular approach to Russia. Pocket those concessions, but understand that any kind of warming of relations is likely to only be temporary.
Speaker M [00:09:38]:
She spoke to Foreign Policy magazine. Not all analysts agree with her. Some think the world is witnessing a sea change in President Trump's approach to the conflict. With FSN Spotlight, I'm Simon Marks.
Speaker I [00:09:50]:
And the main news again. Shares in Jio Platforms have begun trading on the Mumbai Stock Exchange in India's largest-ever initial public offering, valued at approximately $108 billion. Exit polls from Israel's parliamentary elections show neither the pro-Netanyahu bloc nor the opposition bloc has secured the 61 seats needed to form a government. Meta has stopped accepting new political advertisements in the US ahead of the midterm elections, imposing a blackout through the 3rd of November. There's more from us on Twitter @FeatureStory. And that is the latest Feature Story News. Ishaan Garg reporting.

Speaker E [00:15:26]:
Rated R safety show. This show is almost as enjoyable as hearing the sound of the toilet flush. Rated R safety show on Safety FM.
Speaker D [00:15:36]:
Uh, and how enjoyable do you expect that to be? I would like to understand that one a little bit better because you've been telling me that for years now. Okay, so let's start talking right away about some things that are going on inside of the world of the multiverse, uh, because that's what we do around here. So got a question for you. Are you an AT&T customer? I mean, think about it for a moment. Yeah, so AT&T has received the final approval for a $177 million settlement covering 2, uh, 2024 data breaches that exposed information belonging to millions of current and former customers. Eligible claimants could receive up to $5,000 for documented losses, with payments depending on the breach and claim category. More than 3 million claims have been approved, and payment could arrive at the end of 2026 if no appeals delay the process. The claim deadline has passed, but customers can You can check their status at telecommandatasettlement.com. That's telecommand— excuse me, I'm telling you the wrong thing. It's telecom— telecomdatasettlement.com. telecomdatasettlement.com. Or you can call 833-890-4930. That's 833-890-4930. AT&T agreed to the settlement without admitting wrongdoing. Oh, that's a good one. So, uh, yeah, I wonder how long back they're looking at, um, in regards to customers, because maybe that's the thing. I'm just saying.
Speaker F [00:17:07]:
So there you go, there you go.
Speaker D [00:17:09]:
A lot of stuff, always an interesting time. Okay, so how do I say this without, um, getting too weird? Former FBI Deputy Director Don Bongiorno, or Dan Bongiorno, is urging Americans to prepare for a potential crisis by stockpiling up on food, water, batteries, emergency radios, and other essentials. He recommends having at least 3 days' worth of supplies and says preparation isn't about panic, it's about protecting your family. His warning comes after European governments issued similar guidance and the Pentagon developed a plan to keep U.S. military bases operating for up to 90—
Speaker F [00:17:47]:
90—
Speaker D [00:17:48]:
days if civilian infrastructure fails. Officials have cited Threats ranging from extreme weather or to cyberattacks and war, but no impending doom disaster has been identified. Now I'm going to tell you this, and I don't know why this keeps on popping up, and it's weird. Let's just not lie here, it's weird. But I'm seeing a lot of the places, uh, say this exact same thing or something very, uh, similar.
Speaker R [00:18:16]:
Duh.
Speaker D [00:18:16]:
So I don't know, I look at it from one of those standpoints of how important is it and, uh, what are we looking at here? Why does it keep on being brought up? More sarcasm.
Speaker A [00:18:26]:
Mortal Kombat beatdown, rated R, safety show.
Speaker D [00:18:30]:
Okay, take a listen to this one. President Trump, uh, says that he plans to ban the term artificial intelligence in, uh, the relevant government documents and other materials, arguing that superintelligence is a more accurate name. Trump made the announcement on Truth Social, urging the Wall Street Journal and others to adopt the new terminology. He previously signed an executive order directing federal agencies to use the term or to use the phrase AI, but the term AI has been widely used for decades and remains common across technology industry and media. It's unclear how far Trump proposed the ban to extend beyond federal agencies. Yeah, I mean, think about how weird Terminator will be without the term AI. I'm just saying. So what do you think here? Okay, so keeping it, um, talking a little bit about things that are going on inside of the multi, a new report, uh, released by Democrats of the House Judiciary Committee details an allegation by former Miss Switzerland Beatrice Kuhl, who claims President Donald Trump raped her at his New York Plaza Hotel in November of 1993. According to the report, Beatrice was 24, working as a model and financial services professional when, uh, she was recruited to attend a pageant connected to Trump. She alleges that Trump promised to help her obtain a U.S. visa, gain admission to New York University before inviting her to the hotel suite where she says that he sexually assaulted her. Beatriz further alleges that Trump urged her to remain silent and later contacted her in Switzerland with additional offers to assist. The report compares her account with other allegations involving Trump and Jeffrey Epstein, including claims that that career and education opportunities were used to recruit vulnerable young women. The White House has strongly denied the Beatriz allegations, calling the report politically motivated and reiterating that Trump denies wrongdoing connected to Epstein. Trump has not been charged with crime related to Beatriz's allegation. Separately, Trump was found civilly liable for sexually abusing and defaming writer E. Jean Carroll in 2023, uh, via jury verdict, which, uh, he can't— he has continued to challenge. So what do you think there?
Speaker P [00:21:02]:
I don't know.
Speaker D [00:21:03]:
I mean, allegations always are that— they start off as allegations, and then you have to go into and figure out what the hell is going on. I always tell people there's always 3 sides to a story, but you already know this: their version, your version, and what actually happened.
Speaker F [00:21:19]:
It's just kind of the reality of how it goes.
Speaker D [00:21:22]:
somewhere in the middle of the two. It's somewhere, well, where something's probably going on. Okay, take a listen to this. Older American reporters reported that— yeah, older Americans reported that losing approximately $3 billion to fraud in 2025, a 25% increase from the previous year and 5 times the amount reported in 2020. According to the Federal Trade Commission reports, investment scams were the biggest source of losses, costing people 60 and older more than $1 billion and up 42% from the year before. Government and business impersonation scams were also major problems, with criminals increasingly using artificial intelligence to make their schemes more convincing. Although only about 6% of victims reported losing at least $100,000, those cases accounted for at least 70% of the total reported losses. The FTC estimates that the actual financial damage could be anywhere from $13.3 billion to nearly $120 Suggesting that many cases go unreported. Elder advocacy groups say that scammers are becoming increasingly sophisticated, prompting lawmakers to consider measures that could allow financial institutions to temporarily freeze suspicious transactions and restore tax breaks for some fraud victims. So what do you think here? I mean, let's talk about that. $100,000 in a pot. That's not easy. That's a, that's a difficult day at the office, easily, in regards to that. I mean, how do you— how much do you think of this is actually going on opposed to, um, you know, not being discussed inside of other places? I'm just saying. Okay, so let's continue talking. Let's talk about this one. Seen this one last night. I was kind of surprised. I'm kind of taking a look at everything going around. 3 real estate brothers, twins Oren and Alan Alexander, both 39, and their older brother Tal, 40, have been sentenced to 30 years in federal prison after being convicted of years-long conspiracies involving rape, sex trafficking, sex abuse, and sexual exploitation. The brothers were found guilty in a Manhattan federal court in March following a trial in which 11 women testified about alleged assaults, including claims that they were drugged and raped during luxury trips groups and social events. Prosecutors say that at least 70— yes, 7-0— women were sexually assaulted or raped by the men over the years. During sentencing, Judge Valerie Caprioni described the brothers' conduct as monstrous, criticized them for continuing to deny their crimes, and rejected the defense's request for 15-year sentences. Prosecutors had sought life imprisonment, while federal probation officials recommended up to 195 years. Several victims addressed the court emotionally, describing the lasting trauma and the impact on their lives. The brothers who were arrested in 2024 and held without bail continue to maintain their innocence. So what do you think here? I mean, think about it for just a moment. If you have 11 women who testified about the alleged assaults and then 70 women, making a total of 81 among 3 people, I mean, think about that real quick. That's some crazy numbers. That's not even like one of those things that go, oh, you have a margin of error type of thing. You're gonna have a lot of questions there when you start thinking about it. I mean, if we broke it down 3 ways here, it's in the 20s easily per brother. I mean, over 25 easily. So I don't know, gets strange. Get strange right away as we are talking.
Speaker F [00:25:14]:
So there you go.
Speaker D [00:25:16]:
Anyways, take a listen to this. Utah authorities have officially closed a 1974 cold case. Yeah, I said cold case, confirming the serial killer Ted Bundy murdered a 17-year-old Melissa Ann Smith. Investigators used DNA evidence, including genetic material previously matched to Bundy in another case. to link him to Smith's death. Her remains were discovered by hunters in a wooded area at Summit County 52 years ago. Officials have notified Smith's family that the case has been resolved. Bundy, who was executed in 1985, confessed to killing more than 30 women across several states during the 1970s. Investigators also continuing to examine the disappearance of a 16-year-old Named Nancy Wilcox, whose murder Bundy confessed to, but those bodies have never been found or recovered for that fact. So what do you think here? I mean, it's kind of interesting that even, uh, this many years later, Bundy's still, uh, playing a factor into the whole thing. As you look at it, 1989 is when he was executed.
Speaker F [00:26:29]:
So there you go.
Speaker D [00:26:30]:
So some things to think about here. Okay, let's go into this one. Former Vice President Kamala Harris is advising Democrats not to pursue impeaching President Donald Trump if they control the Congress again in the midterm elections. In an interview with, uh, Midas Touch, Harris argued that the impeachment would consume too much time and political energy, especially since she believes that there aren't enough Senate votes to convict or remove Trump from office. Instead, she urged Democrats to focus on investigations, accountability, and passing legislation addressing issues such as Medicaid cuts and presidential war powers. Harris also called for Democrats to be uncompromising in their approach, arguing that they need to focus on getting things done rather than spending their time pursuing another impeachment effort.
Speaker F [00:27:21]:
So there you go.
Speaker D [00:27:23]:
Okay, here's what she had to say.
Speaker S [00:27:24]:
Let's say Democrats win the House and the Senate next week. What would your recommendation be to leadership in Congress? Would it be to go the investigations route and potentially an impeachment one day, or would it be go pass policy and force the president to veto it?
Speaker Q [00:27:39]:
I think that going on in the direction of impeachment is not a good idea. Okay, just to be honest with you, I just— because we have limited resources and I think the energy and the resources need to be put into accountability, need to be put into investigations. And that's where the time should be spent. You remember, I was in the Senate.
Speaker G [00:28:01]:
Mm-hmm.
Speaker Q [00:28:02]:
For the last go-round, and the votes aren't there, right? So that's how I feel. But, you know, also, I think after the election, we all have to just also agree that That our attitude has to be to get stuff done and the tone and our kind of orientation around it has to be, to be kind of ruthless. You know, they're ruthless, but they're cruel. And when I say we should be ruthless, I don't mean cruel, but we should be uncompromising.
Speaker D [00:28:36]:
Okay, hold on. Give me the ruthless without cruel part because I always thought ruthless aggression Uh, was probably the thing to do. I mean, I don't know, there's something to think about. I mean, but you know me, I'm just kind of all over the place.
Speaker E [00:28:49]:
We at Safety FM are not responsible for what this idiot behind the microphone is saying. He is trying to be entertaining. Listen to our safety show.
Speaker D [00:28:59]:
Okay, I don't know if I'm trying to be entertaining, but I'm definitely trying to be something. We just haven't figured out what the hell that means yet. So there you go. Okay, so let's get into some odd stories because that's what we do around here. Take a Listen to this real quick because I have to talk about it. Video from Buenos Aires— yes, Buenos Aires— a cafe shows a worker confronting a man who appeared to take cash from a tip jar. After he returned the money, she surprised him by offering a pastry, which he accepted with a thanks. Huh, kind of a different shift from the ruthless aggression era over there, but hey, whatever. So let's continue. Any— a woman who lost her wedding ring at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln football game has it back thanks to campus police, a newspaper article, and a friend who recognized the names engraved inside. The ring, inscribed Jim and Cheryl, September 6th, 1996, was found near Nebraska Union after the team's September 5th season opener against Ohio University and turned over to campus police the next day. After a month with no one claiming it, university officials publicized The discovery and a story in the Lincoln Journal-Star caught the attention of a woman who recognized the names and contacted her friend Cheryl Fitzgerald. Fitzgerald hadn't even realized that she lost the ring on campus, believing it was misplaced somewhere at her home. She returned to campus on Saturday to retrieve it, saying that she was thrilled to have it back and felt that the whole chain of events was God working to reunite her with the ring. Okay, so hold on. You were getting reunited and it feels so good, uh, but, uh, no, you didn't even know that it was gone. That's an interesting concept.
Speaker R [00:30:42]:
Duh.
Speaker D [00:30:42]:
I'm just saying.
Speaker F [00:30:43]:
So there you go.
Speaker D [00:30:44]:
Okay, take a listen to this one because, hey, why not talk about it? Uh, Arizona Wildcats head coach Brent Brennan—
Speaker F [00:30:52]:
what a name—
Speaker D [00:30:53]:
uh, celebrated his team's dominant 39-3 victory over Iowa State by treating fans to a round of tequila shots at a popular bar near the University of Arizona. Brennan stopped at Dirtbags after Saturday's game, offered 300 tequila shots, paid roughly a $2,000 tab, and he, um, was out the door in just 5 minutes. He said that it was his only way of thanking fans for showing up to support the team, adding, if you want people to show up for you, you gotta show them that you're willing to show up for them. But the tequila tab wasn't his only act of generosity. Before kickoff, Brennan purchased 1,000 tickets for local children connected to organizations including Boys and Girls Club, Ronald McDonald House, and youth football leagues, giving kids the opportunity to experience a Wildcats game. Brennan says that he wanted to invest in the fans and the community that support the program. Apparently, Arizona's game plan included 300 shots, 1,000 tickets, and a whole lot of goodwill. Well, it's definitely what it sounds like. So there you go, some things to talk about as we are talking.
Speaker F [00:32:00]:
So there you go.
Speaker D [00:32:02]:
Okay, take a listen to this one. A Georgia family claims that they paid $716.15 to have their beloved, uh, 4-year-old dog pug, or old pug Cha-Cha, euthanized in March after being told that she had organ failure. Months later, they allegedly spotted the dog alive on Facebook photo and learned that the animal Hospital employee had reportedly taken her home. The family believes that ChaCha was kept alive for months before eventually being euthanized after the investigation began. The hospital has denied the family's account. According to the report, police aren't pursuing criminal charges, but, uh, state regulators and county officials are reviewing the case. Imagine that one. That's a story of stories if you kind of think about that for a weird moment. Oh yeah, you have to put your dog down. Oh yeah, I took it home and I kept it. Yeah, that could get strange. I'm just saying. Anyways, it is 32 minutes past the top of the hour. You know how it goes.
Speaker E [00:33:00]:
Here is our main story on the Rated R Safety Show.
Speaker D [00:33:04]:
Okay, main story time, and it's time to talk. It's been a weird week in main stories. Let's be realistic. I know it's Whip 'Em Out Wednesday. We're only 3 days in, but we have covered A whole gamut of stuff, uh, that we've been talking about, but it's not been, uh, that much safety stuff this week. I mean, and I'm not saying that to be mean, I'm just saying that to be honest in regards of what's going on. But here's the problem, here is the problem in regards of, uh, this week. A lot of stuff going on, a lot of communication going on, but it seems to that people behind the scenes inside of workplaces want to talk about lack of communication, lack of what's going on, but lack of rumor mills never stop. So if you go and have a conversation with a leader, in that conversation you talk about poor communication styles, And then you talk to somebody else that's going through similar issues with the leader, and all of a sudden the leader starts complaining about communication, particularly with you. In your point of view, have they now become good communicators or just shitty people that want to spread rumors? Maybe that's some of the stuff to think about. Now, here's the weird part though. Inside of the workplace, you're kind of always doing these adjustments. You're willing to, uh, recab it on certain things because, hey, why wouldn't you? Life is life and things are going on. I get it.
Speaker F [00:34:53]:
So there you go.
Speaker D [00:34:54]:
But let's talk about this. And this is one of those topics of conversation that it's not easy, but it's not great. But it's still a conversation. You are aware that sometimes we're willing to put up with some weird stuff because on how things work inside of your workplace. Let me give you an example real quick. Many, many years ago, at this point I can say many years ago because it's been close to a decade, I worked at a place that wasn't a terrible place per se, but it wasn't a great place, if you know what I mean. And listen, I'm not complaining. They paid extremely well inside of, uh, inside of this particular company that I will not repeat the letters of. And they treated their employees so-so. I remember going there for my first interview, and it was weird because you heard about some people that had been there for over a decade And then you heard about some people had just started, and there was nobody at that 3 to 7 year mark. That kind of whole thing kind of didn't exist. It was like less than a year, and you're kind of in that 8, 9 year, 10 year range is kind of where it would jump. It was kind of a weird one. Now, I didn't think much about it when I was going through the whole process. And I thought it was strange later on when I started thinking about it. And I came to the realization relatively quick that the company, because that's what we'll use, because that's what we like to use, paid extremely well.
Speaker F [00:36:40]:
Benefits were so-so.
Speaker D [00:36:41]:
I mean, it wasn't great, wasn't terrible, but the pay, the pay wasn't good, especially for the amount of work that you did. Really, um, not that many weekend stuff. But then you come to the realization that they treated their people like shit when it came to certain aspects. Not everyone, because I know I said it was so-so, but there were some people that it was kind of turn your head and, uh, give the blind eye onto what's going on. And people were willing to do that because, hey, Payment's good. We're not treated terribly. We're not doing road construction. Nothing against road construction. I just find that to be some of the hardest work you can do. And life is grand. But when you get to the point where you start realizing that people are not treated well, turn your head, don't see what exactly is going on, and then you kind of realize that they're starting to make you question Some of the things that you believe in, some of the things that, uh, are your core values lie for the company, that's when it gets weird. So that's when it started getting strange. And then also on top of that, they were a year over year, 8% increase year over year for like the last 6, 7 years, which I thought was kind of strange, especially when you put into the gap that the people within that that demo, or either less than a year, and then that middle ground was gone. It was like, why are all those people gone? But we can have that conversation later. Now, here was the weird part. We were willing to sacrifice. We were willing to stay there because money was right. I didn't have to put up with a lot of stuff until it got strange. And here's the problem. When you start dealing with leaders, and it doesn't now have to necessarily be with work, but you start dealing with leaders that you are involved in or involved with, and essentially you're a paying customer, even though they're considered a leader and they do weird crap like spread rumors, avoid everything, try to say that it's everybody else's fault, even when they're the person in charge, you don't have to stay. It's easy to go. Now, if they're paying you, And money's good, you kind of struggle sometimes in regards to saying, ah, maybe I shouldn't, maybe I shouldn't leave. But if you're paying them, it's not that difficult to do. And they can talk as much shit as they want afterwards. Doesn't change anything. At the end of the day, you kind of have to keep it from one particular aspect of others. You have to look at it and go, can I sleep at night knowing the things that you know? And are you selling your soul if you stay at certain places that you don't agree with? It's kind of a weird thing, but think about it from the aspects of what we're talking about this week. It's about communication. It's about really understanding what your value is and what's going on and really not having to put up with a lot of crap unless you choose to do so. I mean, no one can force you to stay somewhere where you don't want to be. And that's the weird thing about life sometimes. People go, oh no, I can't leave. The pay's too good. The problems are not that bad. Take a look around. There's always other choices on things you can be doing.
Speaker J [00:40:05]:
Oops.
Speaker A [00:40:06]:
What did he just say?
Speaker E [00:40:07]:

Speaker H [00:40:22]:
This isn't a safety manual, it's a transmission. Jay Allen, PhD, host of the Rated R Safety Show and founder of Safety FM, has spent years pulling back the curtain on the systems we work in and the ones we don't talk about. What started as a fatal crash on the 405 became a search for truth through behavior-based safety, human and organizational performance, simulation theory, and everything in between. Safety, in my opinion, is raw, reflective, and real. From burnout to breakthroughs, from the matrix to the moment someone says, this doesn't feel right. This book doesn't give you answers. It hands you the signal. Safety, in my opinion. Available now wherever books and audiobooks are found.

A mysterious cylinder that washed up ashore on a beach in Florida's Flagler County during a period of northeaster storms prompted a hazardous material response over the weekend. Flagler County Fire Rescue called the St. Johns County Fire Rescue hazmat team after the unidentified object was discovered along the coast. The team secured the cylinder and said that it would be turned over to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection for further investigation and disposal. Officials have not identified what the cylinder is, where it came from, or whether it possesses any kind of danger. For now, the strange beach discovery remains a mystery. So there you go. When we talk about the strange of Florida, I don't think it gets any kind of stranger than that.
Speaker F [00:48:13]:
What do you think?
Speaker D [00:48:14]:
I'm just asking because that's just kind of one of those weird things. It's like, hold on, you found a mysterious cylinder inside of the water next to the beach, you don't disclose what it is, you don't disclose anything about it. Of course inquiring minds are gonna want to know. That's just kind of the way that stuff goes from time to time.
Speaker F [00:48:34]:
So there you go.
Speaker D [00:48:35]:
Yeah, let's not get weird, even though it's too late for that. Anyways, with that being said, let's do this. Let's bring some John Smalls into our life. And let him tell us about the Motivation Minute.
Speaker U [00:48:44]:
Courtesy of JaceCaseMedical.com. Today's quote was submitted by Tom. Nelson Mandela said, it always seems impossible until it's done. I love this. I've seen it happen so many times. Before something gets accomplished, it can look huge. Then you finally do it and you think, well, that wasn't nearly as impossible as I thought it was. I've watched people start businesses when everyone around them said it wouldn't work. I've watched people learn things that they were convinced they couldn't learn. I've watched people completely change their lives one little decision at a time. And usually they didn't have some magical advantage. They just kept going. That's an important lesson, because when you're in the middle of something difficult, you don't get to see the ending. You only see the next step. And sometimes that next step looks really hard. That's okay. Take the next step. step anyway. This has been the Motivation Minute. I'm John Small. Thanks for listening. Your favorite motivational quotes can be submitted for upcoming programs at motivationminute.org.
