Rated R Safety Show with Jay Allen

The static got shredded and the circuit-benders went full throttle for this November 6, 2026 wildcard transmission, streaming live and unfiltered from the Safety FM studios in Orlando. The override relays were hacked and the signal blasted out through every multiverse frequency, bypassing the compliance grid and hijacking your morning with brute-force Freeform Friday chaos. This episode is pure anti-bureaucratic power, tossing out the “main story” format to cut through The Map’s distractions and confront the Black Iron Prison of tired narratives. If you’re sick of hearing the same empty scripts from gatekeepers and compliance cultists, grab your hazard vest and punch into this high-entropy marathon designed to torch the system’s weakest links.

Track Breakdown & Segment Notes
The Map Scrambled: The conversation focused on wrestling control back from stifling routines by blowing up the “main story” and jamming every forgotten frequency of the week’s safety and news static onto the air. A key theme that emerged was the operating tension between listeners searching for real signal and the low-entropy safety culture that chokeholds authenticity with deadweight compliance.

Black Iron Prison Broadcast: One concept discussed was how mass media and bureaucratic power plays keep safety talk stuck in an endless loop of distraction. The discussion explored how Freeform Friday lets the multiverse’s message-benders break the gridlock and get the real stories out before headquarters can shut down transmission.

High-Entropy Garbage Review: Several points were raised, including hard pivots from headline chaos and oddball news to rapid-fire takes on everything from political theater to system failure incidents, all with a steady pull-no-punches energy that refuses to let surface-level compliance theater infect the core broadcast.

Feature Story News & Global Multiverse Feed
Market Plunge Mayhem: Tech stocks crashed hard as AI hype fizzled and Wall Street’s data lords panicked about tighter regulations.
Airspace Under Siege: Bomb threat hoaxes hit over two dozen flights across Europe, sending fighter jets scrambling and investigators into high-anxiety mode.
Trump’s Monumental Power Play: The Oval Office just got a national monument lockout in a presidential move aimed at freezing the decor and blocking future regime rewrites.

Bizarre Transmissions & Oddities
Citibank Carnage: A furious $2,500 debt standoff in Tampa ends in a building rampage and a security guard shooting the gunman after a cross-city chase.
Motivation Smackdown: Charlie Chaplin gets yanked into the spotlight with a real-world gut check on how ideas mean zilch without risky action.
Cat in the Hat Unhinged: The classic gets a multiverse makeover with a mischief-packed movie debuting just as the static peaks.
DIY Giftwrap Power Move: Emergency gift wrap with brown grocery bags gets pitched as the on-the-fly hack for last-minute chaos.

Speaker D [00:02:03]:
Forget the corporate bullshit. This is the Rated R Safety Show with your host, Dr., uh, it doesn't matter who the host is.

Speaker F [00:02:13]:
Oh, you know it, and so do I. It does not matter who the host is. What has always mattered is who the listeners are. Anyways, today is Friday, November the 6th, 2026, which makes it Freeform Friday. And we are hanging out here inside of the multiverse that we call our Safety FM studios in Orlando. And of course, we're broadcasting across the world and hanging out with our friends and colleagues over there.

Speaker G [00:02:43]:
You're being infiltrated. Radio Big.

Speaker F [00:02:48]:
Oh yes, infiltration and Radio Big is how we get to do all the fun That's the fun stuff that we get to do, no doubt about that. So let's just make sure that we are going down that particular path. So how are you? Are you looking forward to everything going on today? Because that's always kind of the crucial part before we start jumping in. So let's talk about what the hell we do here. Our show consists of safety and the news, news and safety. This is kind of what we do. And we hang out, we do some stuff. We normally give you a level of main story, but on Fridays we don't do that because we're trying to give you everything else that we had throughout the week that we might've not been able to get ahold of. So just so you know, so there you go. That's the concept for the show for today. And then if you want to go ahead and give us a ringy ding ding and get into our little system over here, all you have to do is go to callinradio.com. Once you get there, audio, video, and text messaging are the options. Audio, video, and text messaging will be the options of what you get to do. Um, once you get there, I get a prompt over here on this side of the screen and it lets me know what exactly is going on. Hour 1 of 3, only the first hour is on video. Hour 2 and 3 is exclusive to radiobig.fm, even though currently we are on safetyfm.com and we are on radiobig.fm. And you can hear us across iHeartRadio, Odyssey, you name it, social media, all that kind of fun stuff. Video is there, like I said earlier. I mean, even our little podcast thing has the video now on there. I know, I think I can't keep up with everything that we kind of do inside of the studio. But I try to, so there you go. So with that being said, this is one of my favorite segments to do all week. This is the Week in Review. So if you're ready, let's go ahead and do that, and we'll hear everything that happened this lovely week.

Speaker H [00:04:29]:
And some news today from the Pentagon, where Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth posted a bewildering, nearly 6-minute video from the steps of the Pentagon where he claimed people are, quote, obsessed over him and his ousting.

Speaker I [00:04:41]:
As Democrats cheered, Republicans regrouped yesterday after losing the House and the Senate.

Speaker J [00:04:48]:
a Watergate-level repudiation.

Speaker I [00:04:52]:
Texas Senator Ted Cruz blamed 2 of the president's top initiatives.

Speaker J [00:04:57]:
Tariffs have made everything too expensive, and the Iran war has dragged on too long.

Speaker I [00:05:05]:
His Texas colleague John Cornyn blamed unlikable candidates with bad personal character.

Speaker K [00:05:11]:
Turning now to a terrifying scene in Florida. Body cam video shows the response after a gunman arrived at the Citibank corporate campus near Tampa. One woman Was killed. Thousands of others were forced to flee.

Speaker L [00:05:22]:
Well, right now Russell Brand is sitting in a London jail, and he may be behind bars for a very, very long time.

Speaker M [00:05:31]:
Possibly the rest of his life. It is a strong possibility.

Speaker L [00:05:34]:
He was found guilty, uh, today of rape, one count of rape and 3 counts of sexual assault.

Speaker N [00:05:41]:
We are following those bomb threats targeting at least 26 passenger planes now all across Europe. Many of these planes forced to make emergency landings, some escorted by fighter jets. President Trump late today in the Oval Office, a short time ago in fact, now saying he wants to make the Oval Office a national monument to keep his changes in the Oval Office permanent.

Speaker O [00:06:00]:
A day after investors gave U.S. stocks a big post-election boost, we saw a massive sell-off. All 3 major indexes recorded big losses today. The tech-heavy Nasdaq falling into correction territory, dropping by more than 5.5%. That is trillions in value gone, all over concerns about the future of AI.

Speaker P [00:06:20]:
Tonight, the lives of more than 500 inmates on California's death row now spared. Governor Gavin Newsom today issuing the broadest commutation of death sentences in modern American history.

Speaker F [00:06:32]:
Okay, so that's the week in review. So, uh, maybe there's some things in there that you did not know that happened. I will tell you that the last one I woke up to this morning going, oh, I wasn't even sure that that was a thing, but it is. So there you go. So that's the weekend review. Why don't we go ahead and do this? I do have my friends from Feature Story News that are hanging around waiting, waiting to do the Toxy Oxy. So if you're good with this, I'm good with this. We can get them in here and get that whole thing rolling ahora mismo or right now if you're, if you're interested in doing so. So let's go ahead and do that.

Speaker E [00:07:12]:
Here is the news on the Rated R Safety Show.

Speaker Q [00:07:17]:
Global technology stocks have continued to fall as concern over artificial intelligence spending rattles investors. It's thought the Democrats' sweeping victory in the US midterm elections could lead to tighter restrictions on data centre development. Laura Westbrook has more from Hong Kong.

Speaker R [00:07:34]:
Stocks in Hong Kong and mainland China fell on Friday in early trading, tracking a meltdown in US technology companies. Trading boards were a sea of red, with Seoul and Tokyo taking the brunt. South Korea's KOSPI plunged around 7% at one point before paring back some losses. It's heavily weighted towards makers of the memory chips used in AI data centres. Markets had initially rallied after the Democrats' stunning win against Donald Trump's Republicans in the midterm elections, but sentiment on Wall Street has soured, fuelled by fears that the boom in AI data centre construction could slow after the Democrats' win, potentially slowing demand for Investigations are continuing after at least 25 European passenger flights were hit by a second wave of bomb threats on Thursday.

Speaker Q [00:08:28]:
British Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander has confirmed the threats are hoaxes, while the European Union's transport commissioner says it's too early to determine whether the incidents are linked. Investigators across multiple countries are now pooling evidence as they try to identify those responsible. Ollie Barrett reports from London.

Speaker S [00:08:46]:
They can compare the information that they're seeing. They can compare the language that they're seeing in some of those threats and the way that they are receiving them as well. All of that said, the European Union's transport minister on Thursday was making it clear that at that point it was too early to say whether all of these incidents are even linked.

Speaker F [00:09:06]:
So there is clearly some way to go in that investigation.

Speaker Q [00:09:09]:
Donald Trump has said there's going to be a big, beautiful agreement on Ukraine which might involve all of Europe. He made his remarks after representatives representatives from Russia and Ukraine met at a rare face-to-face event hosted by the White House. But speaking in the Oval Office, the US President gave no further details on any proposed deal. Britain's most senior police officer has warned policing is heading for failure without sweeping structural reforms. Sir Mark Rowley, head of the Metropolitan Police, wants fewer, larger forces in England and Wales rather than the patchwork of 43 forces currently operating. He also wants a new National Police Service to deal with the most serious crimes, arguing the changes are needed to keep up with more sophisticated criminals. Sir Mark has long been pushing for the reforms. Speaking last year, he claimed forced mergers would improve local policing.

Speaker T [00:10:01]:
Because we've got too many police forces, too many headquarters, too many specialist units, too many national bodies, too many lead forces, all of that together sucks resources away from the local.

Speaker Q [00:10:11]:
From bureaus worldwide, this is FSN. With FSN Spotlight, I'm Simon Marks. Today, the views of a man who played an occasionally controversial and incendiary role in America's midterm elections. Hasan Piker is a left-wing streamer with a vast following online. He argues even though President Trump has indicated a willingness to veto legislation that the new Congress sends his way next year, this is no longer Trump's America. I think we've never arrived at a real mandate until this very moment, at least in my lifetime.

Speaker U [00:10:45]:
It's very clear that the people despise Trumpism. Having said that, of course, Donald Trump is probably going to exercise his veto power. But when I say the MAGA movement is dead, it's very clear that the Trump coalition has fallen apart. And that is very clear tonight. And what I mean by that is, regardless of where this entire endeavor goes, and I'm certain that Trump will not go down without a fight, even though he has told the New York Times that he's willing to cooperate. With the new Democratic majorities that he's experiencing, I believe that Trumpism, at least in 2028, is going to be completely over.

Speaker Q [00:11:30]:
Republicans have without doubt had the stuffing knocked out of them and will face huge challenges as various figures within the party position themselves to be its standard bearer in the next presidential election. With FSN Spotlight, I'm Simon Marks. To recap the top stories. Global technology stocks have continued to fall as concern over artificial intelligence spending rattles investors. Investigations are continuing after at least 25 European passenger flights were hit by a second wave of hoax bomb threats. And Britain's most senior police officer has warned that policing is heading for failure without sweeping structural reforms and a new National Police Service to deal with the most serious crimes. That's the latest Future Story News. John Beaver reporting.

Speaker W [00:14:49]:
Listen at your own risk. Rated R. Safety show.

Speaker D [00:14:53]:
Okay, so there you go. Currently 14 minutes past the top of the hour as you and I are hanging out. So let's start getting into some of the main news stories because that seems to be the thing that we should be doing. After about 5 years and billions of dollars spent trying to take the PGA Tour, LIV Golf is shutting down and liquidating its operation. The Saudi-backed golf league had secured the possible $300 million financing deal to keep going, but it all fell apart when investors became concerned about the inability to attract enough top players. Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund had already pulled the financial support, leaving LIV without the money it needed to survive. The league launched in 2021 with huge signing bonuses, big-name players like Phil Mickelson, Jon Rahm, Bryson— I'm going to butcher his last name, so let's skip that— a 3-day tournament team competition, DJs, and even players wearing shorts.

Speaker F [00:15:51]:
It was designed to shake up the professional golf scene, and it certainly did, forcing PGA Tour to increase prize money and rethink how it treats the players. But despite all the money thrown at it, LIV couldn't build enough momentum to compete. Now future stars, including Rahm, are left wondering where they'll play next. So there you go. Is that important to you? I never know because it's sports. Duh. So there you go. Okay, so let's talk about this real quick.

Speaker D [00:16:19]:
Republicans are looking to blame Defense Secretary For the party's crushing midterm losses, accusing him of pushing President Trump into the Iran war without a clear exit strategy. Representative Thomas Massie plans to force the House impeachment vote as soon as next week. Hegseth says that he won't back down, but President Trump is standing by him, calling him one of the best people. Take a listen.

Speaker X [00:16:44]:
This is not about me, but of course the other side In case you've noticed, they're obsessed. A disgruntled, defeated congressman, along with all his Democrat allies, has also dropped sham articles of impeachment against yours truly, just like they tried against President Trump twice.

Speaker F [00:17:04]:
Okay, so there you go. That's what Hegseth had to say. What do you think here? Will that be something that, uh, goes forward, or will it kind of get, uh, sputtered out in regards of everything else?

Speaker D [00:17:16]:
So there you go. Anyway, Secretary of State Mark Rubio is denying reports that he's considering leaving the Trump administration following the GOP midterm losses. Rubio says that he intended to serve out Trump's term and joked that he was, uh, that he has too many jobs to quit. While dismissing, uh, resigning rumors, he avoided discussing the possible 2028 presidential run, keeping speculations alive about his political future.

Speaker F [00:17:42]:
So there you go. What do you think? President Trump has signed a proclamation aimed at preventing future presidents from changing the Oval Office and the Cabinet Room after adding portraits, gold accents, and other decorations. Trump says the room will be protected as a national monument, and he says that any major changes in the future would require congressional approval. So there you go. What do you think?

Speaker D [00:18:07]:
What do you think? What do you think? It's interesting to say the least. Anyways, let's do this.

Speaker Y [00:18:13]:
WTF, welcome to Florida.

Speaker D [00:18:16]:
Yeah, unfortunately this is not one of the ones that we should be joking about, but take a listen to this. real quick. Police say that a 35-year-old Jacob Pearson stormed into Citibank Tampa's headquarters after becoming enraged over a $2,500 debt collection case. He shot 41-year-old employee Leanne Selman 4 times, including while she was crawling away. Pearson had threatened the company earlier that morning. A Citibank security officer and Marine veteran shot and killed him, preventing further casualties. 4 other people were injured. And have been released from the hospital. So there you go. I mean, it's interesting. $2,500. There's farther portion to that story.

Speaker F [00:19:01]:
That guy drove from Orlando to Tampa, which depending on where you're at, it can be anywhere between like 70 to an hour and a half, uh, minutes, 70 minutes or an hour and a half to get to Tampa. And if you look at the video, he runs straight through the gate with his car and then goes in. And from what I understand, because I've heard pieces of stories, not one general one. 3,200 people inside of that building and 350 officers showed up to what exactly what was going on over there.

Speaker D [00:19:32]:
So yeah, just terrible in regards to hearing everything that happened. So there you go. Uh, election forecast Nate Silver is raising eyebrows after suggesting that President Trump could potentially step down before the end of his terms, speaking on his Still Counting podcast. Silver said that, uh, he has a weird intuition that Trump may eventually find a reason to leave office as Democrats gain power and his political influences weaken.

Speaker F [00:19:59]:
Silver's comments, uh, come after he correctly predicted the major Democratic surge in the midterm election, which saw Democrats take control of Congress with significant gains in both the House and the Senate. He argued that Trump is entering his final 2 years as super lame duck president with less leverage over Republicans and diminishing political clout. The polling expert also speculated that resignation could give Vice President J.D. Vance the advantage of incumbency heading into the future presidential race. While Silver emphasized that idea is only a personal hunch rather than a prediction, he believes that election results could mark the beginning of the end for Trump's political era. Former Fox News host Gretchen Carlson called the theory not that far-fetched, though the White House had not publicly responded to the comments. I got a question for you, and I don't know, and I probably should look this up before I even say this because that's what I should be doing. Duh. But if the president— if let's say for instance this is the case and you have a vice president step in, being as that normally a president can only be in terms for 2 terms, and that's 8 years, how would that work? So let's say for instance he gets a year in. Can he only be reelected one time? I'm just wondering because I don't know. And it's Freeform Friday, so of course I'm just going to talk about the most rando-ando stuff possible because that's what we do around here. I mean, isn't it?

Speaker E [00:21:31]:
We at Safety FM are not responsible for what this idiot behind the microphone is saying. He is trying to be entertaining. Rated R safety show.

Speaker F [00:21:41]:
I'm just asking the question. Don't get mad at me because Who knows? So there you go. There you go. Okay, so let's continue talking around and taking a look at some of the, uh, some of the things that are going on, because that's just kind of what we do around here. So I got some options here. Do we want to go movie route, or do we want to go somewhere else? Ah, let's go through the movies. Uh, The Cat in the Hat's hitting the theaters today. Uh, meet the Cat in the Hat you don't know. The all-new epic adventure where mischief, magic, mayhem reign supreme. That's hitting the theaters today. It's rated PG, just in case. Wild Horse 9, starring John Malkovich, Sam Rockwell, Steve Buscemi, just to name a few. 2 CIA agents sent to Easter Island shortly before the 1973 military coup in Chile. What should have been a routine assignment turns out to be a strange, dangerous journey involving old secrets, political conspiracies, and some complicated relationships. So there you go. Also, a movie today called Jimmy starring KJ Apa and Sarah Drew comes out. This is a biological drama of Jimmy Stewart during one of the most important periods of his life. After winning the Academy Award, Stewart enlisted in the Army Air Corps during World War II, flies combat missions over Europe, and returns home struggling with the emotional toll of war. And then comes the opportunity to play George Bailey in It's a Wonderful Life. It's rated PG-13. Also, Drummer Boy comes out today. Starring Joel David Smallbone and Lucas Leach. 2 brothers find themselves fighting on opposite sides of the American Revolution— Revolutionary War, and the conflict tears the family apart. They must confront the question of loyalty, faith, and forgiveness, and they're willing to sacrifice everything. So there you go, that one comes out today as well.

Speaker D [00:23:34]:
So a lot of movies going on inside of the world of the multiverse. So that's, that's it. That is it. Why don't we do this real quick? Why don't we bring some John Smalls into our life and let him tell us about the Motivation Minute?

Speaker F [00:23:47]:
Like, seriously, the Motivation Minute.

Speaker Z [00:23:50]:
Courtesy of JaceCaseMedical.com. Today's quote was submitted by Brandon. Charlie Chaplin said, imagination means nothing without doing. This is one of those quotes that makes me think about all the ideas people have. We all have ideas. I've had some great ideas in my life, but I've also had some pretty dumb ideas. In fact, some of my terrible ideas were the ones That I was actually most excited about. But an idea sitting in your head doesn't really do anything. You can have the greatest business idea in the world, but somebody has to make a phone call. Somebody has to build the product. Somebody has to sell it. Somebody has to take a chance. That's where things get interesting. I've noticed the people who actually accomplish things are not necessarily the people with the biggest ideas. They're the people who eventually get up and do something. something with the idea. This has been the Motivation Minute. I'm John Small. Thanks for listening.

The Nasdaq fell more than 4% as chipmakers and major technology firms lost ground. Investors are also watching inflation and the possibility of higher interest rates, adding to market uncertainty. Kevin Sanders reporting.

Speaker C [00:27:58]:
And that's the latest news headlines with Alan Edwards.

Speaker AF [00:28:01]:
In order to save the planet from cow farts, why doesn't someone just invent really large Gas-X pills?

Speaker G [00:28:12]:
God, what's that awful stench? Rio.

Speaker F [00:28:17]:
Oh yes, it does feel a little stenchy around there, so don't worry about that. So let's start talking right away about some things that happened back on this date. In 1572, supernova is observed in the constellation known as Caspasia. So there you go.

Speaker D [00:28:33]:
Also in 1861, Jefferson Davis elected to a 6-year term on the Confederate president. In 1900, President William McKinley is reelected, beating William Jennings King's Brian. Talk about not being confused during that one, that's for sure. Also, 1936, RCA displays TVs for the press. That'd be pretty exciting. Also, in 1961, the U.S. government issues a stamp honoring the 100th birthday of James Nesmith.

Speaker F [00:29:00]:
So there you go. Also, 1984, President Reagan, uh, landslide, won 49 states and reelection over Mondale. So there you go. And then also in 1986, Reagan signs the landmark immigration reform bill. In 1990, Arsenio Hall gets a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In 2018, Great Britain's Prince Charles called slavery a strain on the system but stopped short of an apology in the speech in Ghana. So there you go, a lot of stuff happening on this day. Let's talk about some, um, some Birthdays for some celebrities today. Sally Field turns 80. Maria Schaeffer turns 71. Lori Singer turns 69. Kelly Rutherford turns 58. Ethan Hawke turns 56. Thrandie Newton turns 54.

Speaker D [00:29:55]:
Rebecca Romijn Samos turns 54. And Emma Stone turns 38 today. So there you go. There's some celebrity birthdays. So here's what's going to happen. At the top of the hour, I will be going over to radiobig.fm if you want to come and hang out with me for the next couple hours or so. If not, you can hang out here with the likes of Sheldon Primus as he talks about the world of safety consulting. So there's some options for you. Let's talk about some things that you ought to know. Tonight's Mega Ball jackpot is for $505 million.

Speaker F [00:30:24]:
Tomorrow's Powerball jackpot— somebody won the big one— is only going to be for $20 million. That's still not a bad day, just saying. Also, Melania Trump has received Ukraine's highest honor for women in Order of Princess Olga from President Volodymyr Zelensky. She was recognized for her humanitarian work with helping Ukrainian children who were kidnapped or displaced by Russia. Ukraine credited her efforts with helping secure the return of at least 26 children. She also recently helped broker a 5-day ceasefire that allowed hundreds of civilians trapped in the Russian-occupied city to receive supplies and evacuate. So there you go. Also, California Governor Gavin Newsom has commuted every death sentence in the state, in-state, to life in prison without parole.

Speaker D [00:31:16]:
The move, um, affects 548 inmates on death row. Newsom, who halted the execution in 2019, says that he believes the government-sanctioned killing is incompatible with California values. The state hasn't executed anyone since 2006. So there you go.

Speaker F [00:31:33]:
And also last night, the Jaguars beat the Ravens 33 to 10. Just so you know, if you need some words of wisdom for today, that really, uh, what really counts is not the number of hours you put in, but how much you put in in those hours.

Speaker D [00:31:48]:
Keep that in mind. Also, in some words of advice, make your own emergency gift wrap. Use brown paper grocery bags, ribbons, and paper. It looks intentional, not like you forgot someone's birthday. Think about that. It might help you. Anyways, I know who you are.

Speaker F [00:32:05]:
Duh.

Speaker D [00:32:05]:
You know who I am. Love ya, mean it, and goodbye, Zo.
