Um, this way we can kind of move forward with everything that's going on. It's been kind of a hectic weekend, I'm not gonna lie here, um, in regards of, uh, everything going on. Just busy, busy, busy, even though it was supposed to be a longer time. Okay, so let's go ahead and do this because I think this will be the easiest way to do this. I will go ahead and, uh, start off with some of the new stuff because I kind of think that that is what we should be doing. So let's do that right now.
Speaker G [00:05:25]:
Here is the news on the Radar Safety Show.
Neha Punia [00:05:30]:
From Feature Story News in New Delhi, I'm Neha Punia. Canada has imposed retaliatory tariffs on more than $27 billion worth of American goods, with levies of up to 50% taking effect. The move comes after US President Donald Trump threatened to ban the Canadian aircraft manufacturer Bombardier from selling planes in the United States, writing on Truth Social that the company must build in America or lose access to the market. Jagruti Dave has more from Washington, D.C.
Speaker I [00:05:59]:
What the president might be doing is hinting at what escalation could look like. Most Bombardier private jets use U.S. engines. Up to 64% of Bombardier's revenue comes from the U.S., and it's— the U.S. is Bombardier's largest market. So this seems to be a threat to put pressure on Canada at a sensitive moment, and because Canada is saying that it's not returning to the negotiating table until the U.S. is ready. As with all of this, there's a catch. Bombardier has 3,000 U.S. employees, and 2,800 US suppliers. So the president's threat here would have an impact on the United States as well as Canada. And it just shows how this whole tariff war is a double-edged sword for these 2 neighbors whose economies are so closely intertwined.
Neha Punia [00:06:43]:
Russia and North Korea have opened their first road bridge connecting the 2 countries to be used for tourism and trade between the 2 countries, they say. But Ukraine is warning it could become a military logistics corridor to support Moscow's war.
Speaker J [00:06:58]:
There are already direct There are air and rail links between Moscow and Pyongyang, but until now there had not been a proper road link. The Russian Prime Minister says the construction of the bridge was not merely an engineering project. He says it's a new symbol of friendship. Russia and North Korea have heavily boosted military and economic ties since Moscow invaded Ukraine in 2022. North Korea has provided Moscow with weapons and thousands troops for its war in Ukraine. Laura Westbrook, Hong Kong.
Neha Punia [00:07:29]:
In Nepal, nearly 2 weeks after a devastating flash flood swept through the north of the country, more than 1,300 people have died and thousands still remain unaccounted for. But rescue efforts still continue. Rebecca Bunton has more.
Speaker B [00:07:45]:
There are fears the death toll could rise significantly. Thousands of people are still missing, including hundreds of foreign nationals. After the flash flood on the 26th of August caused by the collapse of a glacier, at least 900 people are believed to be trapped in tunnels linked to hydropower projects in Nepal. But there are some renewed hopes of finding survivors after a Chinese man was pulled from a hydropower tunnel over the weekend. Another survivor, an elderly Nepali woman, was found alive in an air pocket in her collapsed home, her entire village devastated around her.
Neha Punia [00:08:26]:
From bureaus worldwide, this is FSN.
Simon Marks [00:08:28]:
With FSN Spotlight, I'm Simon Marks, looking in more detail today at the electoral surge of the far-right AfD in Germany. The party came first in regional elections in Saxony-Anhalt, and while it fell short of a working majority, the win has sent shockwaves through Germany's political elite and caused huge fresh pressure on the national government led by Chancellor Friedrich Merz. Jan Eichhorn is senior lecturer at the University of Edinburgh.
Speaker L [00:08:56]:
The AfD is recognized by Germany's internal intelligence service in Saxony-Anhalt as in opposition to the constitution of the country. They, for example, want to abolish that children have to mandatorily have to go to state schools to not be indoctrinated. They want to abolish any funding for arts that is not patriotic, very Orbanesque, if we think of Hungary. They want to, although they don't have the power within the state themselves, massively remove people from the country, even if potentially they have German citizenship, if they don't feel that they belong, which is clearly illegal under current German legislation.
Simon Marks [00:09:39]:
The AfD's leader in Saxony-Anhalt, Ulrich Siegmund, called the results a clear mandate and urged other parties to enter talks with him. Chancellor Merz in Berlin said he was deeply shocked by what he called a seismic election. With F10 Spotlight, I'm Simon Marks.
Neha Punia [00:09:57]:
The main news again. Canada has imposed retaliatory tariffs on more than $27 billion worth of American goods, with levies of up to 50%. This after US President Donald Trump threatened to ban the Canadian aircraft manufacturer Bombardier from selling planes in the United States. Russia and North Korea have opened the first road bridge between their countries, to be used for tourism and trade, they say. But Ukraine is warning it could become a military logistics corridor And that is the latest feature story news. Neha Punia reporting.

Pop quiz, hotshot. During a heat wave, what's more important, air conditioning or air guitar? Um, is it air conditioning? Air guitar. The answer is always air guitar.
Jay Allen [00:15:21]:
Okay, here we go. 15 minutes past the top of the hour as you and I are hanging out on this lovely Tuesday, uh, getting it all done because that just seems to be what we need to do. Uh, no doubt about that one. So let's get into it because there's a lot of stuff to cover, a lot of stuff to discuss, and we need to get into some of the main stories. Uh, that is for sure. So I'm sure you kind of heard about this one definitely over the weekend because it definitely, uh, was making the rounds. So take a listen to this because it gets really, really interesting. The murder trial for Lindsay Clancy ended on Friday without a verdict after jurors failed to reach a unanimous decision. A judge formally declared a mistrial after 12 members of the jury spent more than 37 hours deliberating following 5 weeks of testimonies. 11 jurors reportedly reached the same conclusion, while one holdout juror prevented the unanimous verdict. Clancy has admitted to killing her 3 children. 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 8-month-old Caitlyn in Massachusetts home— in their home in 2023. She has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity, arguing that she was suffering from postpartum psychosis and was overmedicated at the time. Prosecutors argued that the killings were intentional and planned, while the defense maintained that Clancy's mental state left her unable to understand or control her actions. Her attorney made a last-minute attempt to prevent a mistrial, arguing that the holdout juror may have been biased against people with mental disabilities. An appeal court rejected the emergency request. The case now heads towards another court hearing on September 29th, when prosecutors will continue to consider their options. Those could include retire— uh, retrying Clancy. I said retiring her. Imagine that. Uh, potentially, uh, on different charges or pursuing another legal route. Here's what the judge declared.
Speaker O [00:17:23]:
All right, members of the jury, uh, at this point I'm going to declare that the jury is deadlocked and I'm going to declare a mistrial. And I just kind of wanted to let you know I understood how hard everybody worked in this case. I understood that you all gave everything you could And probably more than you thought you could. Um, and so on behalf of myself, I just want to thank you so much that you should be proud for what you did.
Jay Allen [00:17:50]:
Okay, so there you go. That's what the, uh, judge had to say. And it becomes interesting as you think about it for just a brief moment in time. So there is a mistrial because essentially, you know, they were deadlocked. 11 to 1. I'm sure that one person, good, bad, or indifferent, people were pissed off about it, um, in regards to what's going on. So there you go. I don't know, we will see what ends up happening. I have referenced the Chris Benoit story a couple of times. I was watching more stuff about that yesterday, um, in regards to trying to compare it. But well, I'll leave it up to you if you want to take a look at that particular route. So let's continue talking about some other stuff. President Trump spent Labor Day posting an AI— or excuse me, a flood of AI-generated images and altered maps on through social, imagining an America with some very expanded boundaries. Among the posts, maps showing Canada and Mexico annexed into the United States and covered in stars and stripes. Other posts suggested renaming New Mexico to New America, while another appeared to claim the moon for the United States. The president reportedly posted around 40 times over a 10-hour period on Sunday and continued rapid-fire posting into yesterday, sharing AI-generated images and messages covering a wide range of topics. I don't know. And I'm going to say this. I mean, you can get upset if you want, that's fine. I just find it kind of interesting. It's kind of like when an old person develops or understands that there's this thing called AI and they have to keep on posting everything under the sun.
Speaker H [00:19:32]:
Duh.
Jay Allen [00:19:32]:
It's just one of those things is definitely what it seems like.
Speaker P [00:19:35]:
Duh.
Jay Allen [00:19:35]:
So I don't know. I look at it from the standpoint of going, Maybe somebody should pull a phone or a computer away from the man for the time being.
Speaker N [00:19:42]:
Duh.
Jay Allen [00:19:42]:
I'm just saying, because man, it's getting weird for sure. So there you go. Anyways, at least 5 people were killed and several others injured after an Amazon cargo plane crashed while landing into Miami International Airport on Sunday. The plane arriving from San Juan, Puerto Rico reportedly overran the runway during stormy weather and gusting winds before smashing into multiple vehicles on Northwest 42nd Avenue and bursting into flames. Firefighters arrived within seconds and found a chaotic scene with people trapped inside mangled vehicles and aircraft engulfed in heavy fire and smoke. 3 people were listed in critical condition and 2 others hospitalized with additional injuries. The crash also created a dangerous challenge for firefighters because one of the plane's engines was still running as the crew battled the blaze. Federal investigators are now examining the runway excursion while the other airport remained Are the other— I get— let me kind of rephrase this because I'm gonna have to phrase this properly. While the airport reopened 2 of the runways, hundreds of flights were delayed and travelers faced major— not some, but major disruptions as the investigation got underway. Amazon says that it is working with authorities and focusing on what, what, uh, what it affected with this particular incident and wants to make sure that the people affected are, you know, in regards of taking a look at and see what's going on. I mean, I will tell you that was kind of making the news stories all over the place on Sunday as I was hanging out.
Speaker N [00:21:17]:
Duh.
Jay Allen [00:21:17]:
So there you go. Some, definitely some interesting times as we were talking. So there you go. Okay. So write this down. And I'm not saying this, write this down as like some sarcastic thing of, hey, you should write this down. I'm saying write this down because this might be important to you. The USDA is, has issued an urgent Class 2— or no, it's a Class 1, it's not even a Class 2— recall for more than 1,500 pounds of imported ready-to-eat pork products that may have contaminated, uh, Listeria. The recalled dry curled, uh, pork jowl known as guanica was produced in Italy and imported into the U.S. Prime Line, distributed by Ferrani USA. The products were distributed to food services and retail locations. And here we go, this is the spread: California, Florida, Idaho, Illinois, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, and Texas. The potential contamination was discovered during a routine import after the sample tested positive for Listeria. Fortunately, uh, officials say that there may have been no confirmed illnesses connected to the recalled pork, but the recalled product's lot is 263311 US. Let me make sure I say that again, 263311 US. And it's a best-if-used date by May 16th, 2027. Consumers and businesses are being warned not to eat or serve the affected products. Listeria can cause illness, particularly in older adults, pregnant women, newborns, and people with weakened immune systems. So there you go. It's a pretty high coverage of, in regards of how many people that can affect. So you might want to take a look into that before you do anything. And now I'm going to be kind of super paranoid, um, if I go anywhere and somebody says, hey, I got some pork, I'll be like, whoa, whoa, whoa, let's talk about this in regards to that. So there you go. Some things that are going on, no doubt about that. So what do you think? Uh, I will say definitely check your pork products before you do anything. Just a, uh, just a thought of, uh, some things there. No doubt about that one.
Neha Punia [00:23:36]:
More suckers.
Jay Allen [00:23:37]:
You are listening to something beat down, rated R safety show. Okay. Don't double pump the button because it has an issue if you do it that way. Okay. So with that being said, let's continue talking about some other things. Alaska Airlines is facing a lawsuit over claims that 11 valuable Japanese artworks were ruined during a rainy transfer in Honolulu. The paintings were shipped from Osaka, Japan, to New York when they reportedly stopped in Hawaii and were allegedly unloaded during a heavy rainstorm. According to the lawsuit, the artworks were packed in cardboard crates and were left without protection from the rain, causing them to become soaked and suffer significant damage. The total loss is estimated at $521,900. The art gallery's insurance reimbursed the gallery and has now taken over the legal fight, seeking money back along with interest, court costs, and attorney fees. Alaska Airlines and shipping companies are accused of gross negligence and reckless disregard. That's a pretty expensive way to discover that the cardboard and rain don't get along. So there you go. What do you think here? It's definitely an interesting one because where does the stuff go from there? Because think about that for a moment. You're not solving any kind of pain or any kind of painting from there. That's what it sounds like. So the paintings were soaked so badly that even Bob Ross, uh, would have called it a happy little disaster because there's no other way to put it. There is no doubt about it.
Speaker G [00:25:07]:
Duh.
Jay Allen [00:25:08]:
So there you go. Okay, let's continue talking about some other stuff because that's just kind of what we do around here. An Ohio State Trooper made an interesting discovery during a routine check at a rest area. Captured on his body cam, the trooper found a puppy in a cage on a roadside. The trooper was able to save the puppy with a plastic— using a plastic bottle and a makeshift toy, successfully gaining its trust and allowing him, uh, to get the puppy in the cruiser. According to reports, the trooper gave the dog to a friend. Take a listen. Yeah, we'll get you out of here, okay? Someone left you.
Speaker D [00:25:44]:
It's okay.
Jay Allen [00:25:44]:
How long have you been here? Oh, you pawing me? Oh my gosh, are you pawing me?
Speaker C [00:25:54]:
I get to kiss the kitty! Yeah. Hi!
Speaker I [00:25:57]:
Oh, hello!
Speaker L [00:25:58]:
Are you playing? Are we playing?
Speaker M [00:26:00]:
Hi! Want to go with me? Huh?
Speaker Q [00:26:04]:
What do you think?
Jay Allen [00:26:05]:
Are you biting me? Are you biting me?
Speaker H [00:26:07]:
For what?
Jay Allen [00:26:09]:
Are you biting me? What are you doing to me? You can't wrestle me! Oh my gosh! Will you get mad if I pick you up? Will you get upset at me or not? Okay, here you go. There you go. Sit right down in there for me.
Speaker R [00:26:27]:
Perfect.
Jay Allen [00:26:27]:
Hey, listen, I'm not saying anything wrong with, with a clip there, but I just want you to think about that. Somebody had to say, okay, it is okay for us to release this. I'm just saying, just think about that for just a brief moment in time. Someone said, yeah, go ahead and release that clip. I mean, now you're gonna be super paranoid about wearing those body cameras. Not anything against them. I'm just saying you're just gonna be paranoid about it.
Speaker C [00:26:49]:
So there you go.
Jay Allen [00:26:49]:
Anyway, WTF, welcome to Florida. A Florida family got an unexpected houseguest when a large buck wandered into their St. Johns County home and made itself comfortable in the bathrooms. Deputies responding to the scene found a deer standing next to the toilet, looking around like, um, it had every right to be there. The deputies and homeowners moved the furniture to create an exit path. Then use a pool brush to guide the buck outside. But the deer wasn't ready to leave just yet. Once in the backyard, it promptly jumped into the swimming pool not once but twice before finally finding an opening in the fence and making an escape. One deputy said that it was the first time in a 23-year career that he had ever encountered a deer inside of a house. The sheriff's office joked that the buck fled before the deputies could issue him a warning for trespassing. So there you go. The first bathroom, then the pool, The deer had a better vacation than most Americans. If you kind of think about that for just a moment, really kind of some, um, odd times if you start thinking about it. So there you go, there you go. Okay, should I talk about this? Do we care? How much do you care about sports? Are you gonna know about this? Let me butcher some names here because this is what I do with foreign names.
Speaker F [00:28:10]:
Aryna Sabalenka.
Jay Allen [00:28:13]:
Had an unexpected opponent during her US Open match last week, a smell of marijuana. The world top-ranked women's player was leading Kamila Rakimova 3-0 when she stopped play to complain to the chair of the umpire about someone apparently smoking weed near the Louis Armstrong Stadium. Aryna still cruised to a 6-3, 6-4 victory, but said that the smell was so strong enough to make it difficult to Security searched the area, although it wasn't clear where the smoke was coming from, inside of the crowd or drifting from outside. The USTA says the tennis center is smoke-free, even though recreational marijuana is legal in New York City. Aryna later joked to the reporters that if people, uh, kept smoke— kept smoking, she might get high herself. So there you go. Yeah, a little weed action is what it sounds like, um, in regards of what was going on over there. And, uh, there seems to be, uh, some issues there.
Speaker B [00:29:18]:
It's my kind of music.
Speaker C [00:29:21]:
I get the best mix of my favorite music all on one radio station.
Speaker G [00:29:25]:
Another wild ride is around the corner on Radio Big.
Jay Allen [00:29:30]:
Okay, so there you go. A lot of stuff going on inside of the multiverse of ours. like normal. So let's talk about this. A 67-year-old Arizona man allegedly turned an American Airlines flight from Dallas to Newark into something closer to WWE event at 30,000 feet. Reportedly drunk, uh, reportedly drunk and began yelling at a man sitting next to him when the flight was about 75% of the way through the trip. Witnesses say that he went into a bizarre tirade involving Jesus in hell. Then he allegedly used racist and homophobic slurs towards a flight attendant. Things got even uglier when he allegedly pushed a female passenger, assaulted his seatmate, smashed his computer, and reportedly bit one passenger while trying to bite another. Several passengers jumped in to restrain him. A flight attendant reportedly handed them duct tape, and Lundin, uh, was zip-tied and duct taped to a first-class seat in the plane and diverted to Baltimore. On the way to Newark, he got diverted to Baltimore. He was then taken into custody. The flight eventually continued to Newark. He was flying first class, which means that he paid extra for the privilege of being duct taped to a nicer seat.
Speaker F [00:30:47]:
What—
Jay Allen [00:30:47]:
I mean, what a crazy time. Definitely some things going on real quick as we are talking. So there you go.
Speaker C [00:30:55]:
Okay.
Jay Allen [00:30:58]:
Because we talk a little bit about everything.
Speaker N [00:30:59]:
And it's not even Freeform Friday.
Jay Allen [00:31:02]:
In a major medical milestone, a genetically modified pig kidney successfully worked inside of a human patient for 271 days, the longest time on record. Tim Andrews, who was 66 at the time, received a pig kidney in January of 2025 during the groundbreaking transplant at Massachusetts General Hospital. Andrews said that he was seriously ill and figured that if he was going to die, he might as well help advance science. The pig kidney worked for about 6 months before beginning to fail. Andrew then briefly returned to dialysis before becoming the first known patient to receive a human donor kidney after living with a pig kidney transplant. Doctors say that the case is an important step forward into xenotransplantations, using animal organs in humans, and could eventually help patients survive while waiting for scarce human donor organs. So there you go. So I want you to think about this, and I know that I'm kind of going to go a different angle here than what we would normally go, but I want you to think about it. So all of a sudden you're waiting for an organ. Okay, let's just kind of go through that. And then you get an organ from an animal. It works for a period of time as you're waiting for a human organ. Let me just ask you a question, and I— and unfortunately I have to ask this because of where we live. How many times will most insurance allow you to do an organ transplant? So if I tell you I got a kidney, then the kidney failed and we had to do another kidney, is the insurance company— and it's a sad question to have to ask— gonna be okay with you having 2 kidney surgeries? And in this example, in such a short period of time? I am just asking because you know how this goes sometimes.
Speaker G [00:32:57]:
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. Here is our main story on the Rated R Safety Show.
Jay Allen [00:33:11]:
I don't think I said anything out of the norm. I mean, just think about that for a moment. I mean, I know, are they just gonna double pay? I don't think that they will, but it's worth asking the question.
Speaker H [00:33:22]:
Okay.
Jay Allen [00:33:22]:
Anyways, let's get into the section that we're trying to get into, which is we call our main story. So listen, Listen, I don't know what the hell's going on because I sit around and listen. I will look at content over content over content on what the hell's going on inside of this world of what we talk about related to safety. And the reason that I do this is because I want to know what's out there. And it— listen, it's not that I'm looking for a bearer Or better paradigm in regards of, hey, we need to shift on what is going on. We need to shift what is happening. I will tell you this, and I, I think we kind of had to backtrack before we kind of go forward, just to make sure. I like to say this a lot. I say this on this show quite a bit. I say this in my personal life quite a bit. There is a market for everything, and I mean everything. If you can envision it, more than likely there is a market out there for, for you in regards to being able to look, sell, change, move, whatever. And the reason that I'm bringing this up today is because I will tell you, I have been able to find some of the oddest things On the planet by just looking around. Now here's where I'm gonna kind of backtrack to go forward, but bear with me for just one moment. I will tell you, I remember back in the COVID days, and I know that most of the times it seems like you're not supposed to talk about that shit anymore, but you remember during the period of time where you were locked up in your house and you weren't able to go anywhere for some period of time? Well, that happened. But during that timeline, I remember people were so concerned with everything that was going on, and then everything got rebranded with COVID associated to it. Bouncing forward, COVID-related information, slapping the word COVID into your safety plan seemed to become a big deal in regards of what people were doing. There were the exact same things that were listed before, but the word COVID was slapped on it. So now we have a new marketing material on what we can bring into the business domain and then repackage it and say, we can move forward. That's what was going on. And a lot of people thought that that was okay to do. They slapped in the word COVID a few times in some of the things, and then they moved forward. Now here's the interesting part. Not much has changed. And you're going to look at me and go, what do you mean here? Not much has changed. There is still marketing that is out there right now that people are using these buzzwords in regards of, oh yes, we have changed everything and we are going to add new word, new verbiage into X. I'm just saying, I will tell you, there are so many things coming out right now that is related to a couple of different things. The use of AI seems to be a big thing. A use of the tokens on how AIs are fed, or another thing that you hear quite a bit about. Now, here's the funny part. I was recently reading a post on LinkedIn, I believe it was, and some guy had created this new book on how safety and AI blend the worlds together. And then you kind of look at the book and it's kind of still the same old nonsense that was out there before, except the word AI was thrown in there a few times. And the funny part was that when you looked at the book, it had a lot of the reference points on that. It looked like AI might've assisted with the book itself. Now listen, that's cool and everything, but what are we doing here? Are we really doing something different, or are we just repurposing some of the information that we have going on? That's where I get slightly confused, because I have told you for years on this show that people like to repackage things and then say that this is the new It is not the new. It is essentially a bolt-on to whatever exists already. It will be easier to translate some of that stuff in regards of telling people this is a bolt-on to what you have opposed to a total replacement. I'm going to use these verb— this verbiage now because this is how important this information becomes. It gets so confusing for people from time to time. That we need to understand that maybe you should look at the original before you move forward. And don't get me wrong here, I am not saying that enhancing things is bad. I am saying let's make sure that we are looking at source material before we get too crazy with some of this other stuff, and we're just not putting on word of the week inside of I mean, think about this for a moment. More than likely inside of your organization, there is somebody who sits there and you have some new initiative that's coming about. And then all of a sudden it is discussed, it is brought up that you have this new thing that you would like to do. They sit back and go, give it a moment. This is flavor of the week. In a few weeks' time, this whole thing will change. This whole thing will not be what they're claiming that it is right now. And you know that this is how it goes. This is not the first time you've heard somebody say this. And that is where we need to be concerned about, because if you have people inside of the organization, even if you have people outside of the organization where you're just talking about this It becomes flavor of the week. Remember that when we first started talking on Safety FM, just as a network, it was about safety communication. It wasn't that we had invented safety communication because that already existed. We were taking a different approach to it. And believe me, we spent a lot of time trying to emphasize that we weren't doing anything new. We were just doing it different. And maybe that's where we need to be okay when we're doing stuff, is to make sure that we're referencing to people that, hey, we're not changing things, we're adding to. And we're just not doing it for words, of adding some words inside of a commentary, opposed to it being the buzzword, instead of understanding this is how things are moving forward.

Speaker D [00:42:46]:
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 Alarm 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, Jay Allen, PhD. Because the system adapted. Now it's your move.
Speaker P [00:44:03]:

Why don't we go ahead and do this? Why don't we bring in some John Smalls into our life and let him tell us about what's going on with the Motivation Minute?
Speaker C [00:49:19]:
The Motivation Minute.
Speaker S [00:49:23]:
Courtesy of jacecasemedical.com. Today's quote was submitted by Reed. Andy Warhol. You need to let the little things that would ordinarily bore you suddenly thrill you. I love this. Sometimes this can be hard. If you're not excited about the silly little details of your job, find a way to make those things a little bit more exciting to you. I used to be a wedding DJ for about 25 years, and the fun part was the wedding dance, but the setup and teardown were things I had to do every time. So I made up a little song that I would sing while I was plugging things in. It made it a little less monotonous, but somehow it made me smile, and it made that setup time seem to go faster. If you have something that you have to do on a regular basis that doesn't thrill you, find a way to make that thing a little bit more fun for you. 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.

Yeah, dude, like I just made so much money that I could just sit around on my ass all day and play video games.
Speaker H [00:54:06]:
Wait, I forgot about Dogecoin.
Jay Allen [00:54:09]:
Dogecoin rules! Okay, there you go. We found out that Dogecoin rules is what it sounds like as we are talking. So let's talk about some things that happened back on this date. As I take a look around, back in 1858, Lincoln makes a speech about When you can fool people. In 1920, the U.S. airmail service begins from New York City to San Francisco. In 1921, the first Miss America is crowned. Uh, what else do we got? In 1966, That Girl starring Marlo Thomas premieres on ABC TV. In 1974, President Gerald Ford pardons former President Richard Nixon for all federal crimes. In 1986, believe it or not, The Oprah Winfrey Show debuts. And in 2015, comedian Stephen Colbert debuts as the new host of CBS Late Show. So there you go. That's all the things that happened back on those dates. Let's talk about some celebrity birthdays going on today. Amy Mann turned 66. Latrell Sprewell, he's an NBA basketball player if you don't remember, he turns 56 today. David Arquette turns 55. Brooke Burke turns 55 as well.
Speaker F [00:55:19]:
Nathan Corddry Turns 49.
Jay Allen [00:55:22]:
Pink, the singer, she turns 47 today. And Jonathan Taylor Thomas turns 45. So there you go. That's some birthdays that are going on for you today, if you're so inclined to know those things. Let's talk real quick about some things that you ought to know, because that always seems to be important as we are talking. Uh, let's see, let's see, let's see. Here are Friday's winning Mega Million numbers. The jackpot was for $177 million. The numbers were 6, 26, 34, 59, 61, and the Mega Ball was 24. Here's Saturday night's winning Powerball numbers. It was 15, 40, 47, 53, 59, and Powerball was 9, Power Play was 2. There was no jackpot winner, so tonight's jackpot will be for $190 million. Gas prices hit a record high over Labor Day, with the national average being about $4.15 for regular unleaded. The previous record, uh, was $3.82. cents back in 2012. AAA says the high crude oil prices are keeping gas costs elevated despite the usual post-summer drop in demand. Diesel prices also set a record, hitting $5.90 a gallon, up sharply from $3.71 a year ago. So there you go. Also, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell isn't going anywhere. Team owners approved a 4-year extension, keeping him in charge until 2030 season, with his contract ending in March of 2031. By then, Goodell will be 72. And will have spent 24 years as the commissioner since taking over in 2006. More than 95% of his pay will reportedly be tied to performance and new deal lineups from the NFL's current player labor agreement. So there you go. A lot of stuff going on is what it sounds like for sure. So 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, even though we are simulcasting right Now, when I go over there exclusively, I'll be talking about the world of music and entertainment. If you want to come and hang out over there, if you don't want to go over there, that's perfectly fine. You can hang out here with the likes of Sheldon Primus as he talks about the world of safety consulting. If I can leave you with some words of wisdom for today, there's very little difference in people, but that's the difference. The little difference makes a big difference. The little difference is attitude. The big difference is whether it is positive or negative. So think about that. And if you need some advice for today's girls, who tuck a daisy under their pillow at night will dream of true love. Never heard that one before, but I guess that's new. Anyways, I know who you are.
Speaker B [00:57:58]:
Duh.
Jay Allen [00:57:58]:
You know who I am. Love ya, mean it, and goodbye.
