The override alarms are screaming and we’re bypassing the grid straight from Orlando, July 22, 2026. This isn’t your daddy’s broadcast—it’s pure multiverse chaos, punching through loops of compliance theater and headlocking the system’s signal jammers. The Rated R Safety Show slams the brakes on corporate double-speak, hijacks the news feed, and pushes the anti-bureaucracy mainline right into your auditory cortex. The only thing more unpredictable than the static is who’s running the map—so keep your headset tight and don’t blink, because we’re running analog core and digital edge all damn hour.
We’re cracking open the Black Iron Prison today, torching stale top-down edicts, and giving every flavor of low-entropy safety nonsense the boot. It’s all about sifting the real from the fake, calling out the double-talking jive in high places, and trashing empty rituals that keep transformation shackled. If you’re ready to spit on rigid org charts and inject some disorder into the Map, this episode blasts the blueprint into confetti.
Track Breakdown & Segment Notes
The Double-Talking Jive: The broadcast pulls gloves off and takes dead aim at the high-entropy garbage of leadership shell games. This is the multiverse’s field guide on how bureaucrats pull the old “promise and double-cross” routine, using safety talk as currency and pork-barrel trade-offs as the buy-in. When the Map starts shifting under your feet, you know you’re close to busting out.
The Illusion of the Fix-It Crew: Forget one-and-done "safety fixes." We talk on how organizations order safety to miraculously patch systemic rot, drop all blame on the crew, and then vanish when accountability turns up the heat. You’ll see how the Black Iron Prison reproduces itself not by rules, but by expectation games, number-washing, and the classic leadership pivot.
Anti-Bureaucratic Playbook: The operational code drops hard here. Find out why the only way out is to torch the playbook, challenge power’s demand for proof, report straight to the CFO, and refuse to dance to anyone’s performative compliance song. The more you chase authentic low-entropy safety culture, the more you’ll have to bulldoze the signal blockers out of the way.

What is Rated R Safety Show with Jay Allen?
Finally, a safety show with the balls to call it exactly as it is. Rated R Safety Show is an unfiltered, no-holds-barred look at what it actually takes to lead safety culture in the modern industrial world. Hosted by Jay Allen, Ph.D., this show is strictly intended for mature audiences who are tired of corporate PR and boring compliance checklists.
We tear down the wall on what really happens on the front lines of EHS (Environmental Health and Safety), Human and Organizational Performance (HOP), risk management, and workplace safety leadership. No filters, no sanitized corporate-speak—just raw, real conversations about human performance, organizational failure, and the messy reality of keeping people alive on the job.
If you are a safety professional, an EHS director, or a leader looking for real-world strategies without the corporate fluff, you’ve found your home.

Speaker A [00:00:06]:
This, this, this show is brought to you by Safety FM. Through the dark night, seeing clear, my vision's gone, can't see through. In the fire, I try to catch myself.
Speaker B [00:01:28]:
The following program is rated MALSV.
Speaker A [00:01:30]:
It contains strong language, sexual situations, and violence.
Speaker B [00:01:32]:
It is intended only for mature audiences. Finally, show with the balls to call it like it is. Rated R Safety Show on Safety FM.
Speaker A [00:01:44]:
Countdown to audio torture. The Rated R Safety Show starts in 3, 2, 1. Ah, let the eardrum pain begin.
Speaker B [00:01:57]:
Forget the corporate bullshit. This is the Rated R Safety Show. With your host, Dr., uh, it doesn't matter who the host is. Oh, there you go. And let's start talking right away because today is Wednesday, July 22nd, 2026, and we are broadcasting from the Safety FM studios in Orlando, Florida, and coming across the multiverse known as Safety FM. And then we are hanging out with our friends and colleagues over there. Oh yes, doing all the stuff that we can with Radio Big, no doubt about that, as we are hanging out and doing our thingo. Anyways, with that being said, how have you been? How's the last 24 hours or so been for you? Hopefully grandioso is the way that I always look at it, and I'm kind of moving forward and everything along those lines. So with that being said, let's talk about it. Today's for— well, it's not Freeform Friday, but it is Whip 'Em Out Wednesday, which kind of makes it kind of interesting. The last 24 hours have definitely been, um, Interesante. Can I say that? Can I say it's been interesante? Uh, to say the least, a lot of stuff going on inside of the multiverse, uh, cause that's just kind of what we do. We take a look around at everything that is going on and then kind of go from there. So with that being said, if you want to interact with the show, it's simple to do. So all you have to do is go to callinradio.com. That's callinradio.com. Once you get there, audio, video, and text messaging are the options of the things that you get to do. And I will tell you, I will get a prompter-ompter. Over here on the screen, and then it kind of lets me know everything that is going on inside of this multiverse of ours. No, seriously. So there you go, just some things. So with that being said, let's talk about this because I haven't mentioned this in a while, but we are a radio show that is streaming on video that is also on a podcast network. Yep, that's what we have going on. A lot of stuff going on inside of there. So if you go to safetyfm.com You can stream us right there audio-wise. RadioBig.fm, you can stream us there. iHeartRadio, Odyssey, we're streaming across multiple platforms. If you have us on the podcast catcher, depending on what time it is, on most of them you can flip between audio and video if you want to do that. That's, I mean, entirely up to you, of course. And then we kind of just move. That's just the whole thing. So with that being said, I think we should do this. I do have my friends here from Feature Story News that they're ready to talk about everything that's going on inside of the multiverse. 'Cause that's just their, that's their gig 'em, if I can say it that way. That's their gig. That's what they do. They talk about a little bit of everything and then, you know, they kind of vanish for a while and they come back. That's really how it goes. So with that being said, I'm going to bring in my friends from Feature Story News. We're going to get moving. We're going to get grooving and then we'll go from there. So I think because we are already starting into the show, it's best to do this now.
Speaker A [00:05:09]:
Here is the news on the Rated R Safety Show.
Neha Punya [00:05:12]:
Feature Story News in New Delhi, I'm Neha Punia. Tens of thousands of people have stayed camped out at a protest site in New Delhi for the 3rd straight day, demanding the resignation of the country's education minister over an exam leak scandal. India's main opposition leader Rahul Gandhi, who was briefly detained during a protest outside the Prime Minister's residence on Tuesday, says he'll raise the issue in Parliament. Ishaan Garg has more.
Speaker A [00:05:35]:
This is for the very first time since Prime Minister Modi became the Prime Minister in 2014 that a protest has risen up which is rather broad-based. He's also faced protests in the past, especially the farmers' protests in 2023 and also the movement against a Citizenship Act back in 2020. But those were led by certain sects of the population. This one, analysts say, is a lot more broad-based, with many youngsters who are coming to these protests. They're not only talking about the medical exam paper leaks, but they're also talking about reforms in general. They are talking about how job opportunities are disappearing for for many of them. They're also talking about how expensive education is becoming in private institutions.
Neha Punya [00:06:16]:
U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has told the Senate Appropriations Committee that the war in Iran has cost an estimated $37.5 billion so far, and he's asked Congress to approve $67 billion in additional military funding. The disclosure marks the first official updated cost figure since the early weeks of the conflict. Kate Fisher has more.
Speaker A [00:06:38]:
There are criticisms that this could be turning into what's called a forever war, which is something that both Secretary Hegseth and President Trump insisted it would not be. Pete Hegseth said himself that this money is needed to make up for critical shortfalls and to ensure that the military can have a strategic victory, which I think shows you that still the goal here is military victory, despite the fact that throughout this Donald Trump has flip-flopped between that and trying to find a diplomatic way to end things. Democrats have been criticizing this, saying that this is not about needing more money. This is about poor planning.
Neha Punya [00:07:18]:
New York City Mayor Zohran Momdani has walked back his pledge in his campaign promise to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on an International Criminal Court warrant. Andrew Whitman has more.
Speaker A [00:07:30]:
In a video posted to the mayor's official X account, Momdani listed a minute's worth of allegations against Netanyahu and said he explored all the city's options for detaining him. It's clear that we do not have the independent legal authority Momdani then added a challenge. Federal government, however, does, and I call on them to join the ICC and execute this warrant. Netanyahu is expected to attend the UN General Assembly in September, prompting this from the mayor. Benjamin Netanyahu is not welcome in New York City. He didn't explain what that meant in relation to Netanyahu. In New York, I'm Andrew Whitman.
Neha Punya [00:08:05]:
From bureaus worldwide, this is FSN.
Speaker A [00:08:09]:
With FSN Spotlight, I'm Simon Marks. Today and tomorrow, can the transatlantic relationship be salvaged, or has the damage become permanent? That's a real debate now among foreign policy analysts after President Donald Trump raised foundational questions about whether the US will remain committed to the NATO alliance. Today, an optimist, Dr. Alexandra de Hoop-Scheffer, president of the German Marshall Fund and former adviser to NATO's Supreme Allied Commander. The burden-sharing debate has been going on and on since the creation The United States today is neither willing nor able to provide the same level of leadership and capabilities, while Europeans are at the same time reevaluating the strategic cost of their overreliance on the United States. What I'm seeing is many taboos have fallen. Europeans are seriously stepping up on their defence. The strategic debates across all European countries have fundamentally changed. fundamentally changed. And so allies are finally engaging in the hard conversations they have long avoided, instead of hiding behind the comforting rhetoric of shared values. She spoke to Foreign Policy magazine. Tomorrow, we'll hear from a pessimist who thinks that the damage to the NATO alliance is irreversible. With FSN Spotlight, I'm Simon Marks.
Neha Punya [00:09:39]:
The main news again: Thousands are still camped at a protest site in New Delhi demanding the resignation resignation of the country's education minister over an exam leak scandal. India's main opposition leader, who was briefly detained during a protest, says he'll raise the issue in Parliament. US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has told the Senate that the war in Iran has cost an estimated $37.5 billion so far and has asked Congress to approve $67 billion in additional funding. And that is the latest feature story news. Neha Punia reporting.

Speaker B [00:15:07]:
I'm talking the truth! Ew!
Speaker A [00:15:09]:
Always replicated, But never duplicated. Rated R. Safety show.
Speaker B [00:15:17]:
Okay, so there you go. 15 minutes past the top of the hour as you and I are hanging out on this lovely Whip 'Em Out Wednesday, that is for sure. Okay, so let's get moving and grooving right away about some things that are going on inside of the world of the multiverse. The Pentagon has identified the U.S. soldiers killed on Sunday in Iraq as Sergeant Michael Emmanuel Swinton, a 30-year-old From Fayetteville, North Carolina. According to the Department of Defense, Swinton died at the airbase during, um, a controlled detonation and, uh, downed one, uh, one-way to a track zone, uh, while support— um, supporting the U.S. military operations related to the conflict in Iran. Officials say that the incident remains under investigation. Swinton was assigned as a 2nd Battalion, 55th Air Defense Artillery Regiment. based in Fort Bragg, North Carolina. His death marks the 3rd confirmed U.S. military fatality since the United States and Iran reached, um, memorandum— excuse me, memorandum, I can't even speak— an understanding in June. Overall, 17 American service members have been killed since the conflict began earlier this year. The Pentagon also recently identified 2 other soldiers killed in an Iranian missile and drone attack on a U.S. base in Jordan, while another service member remains, uh, So what do you think here? A lot of stuff still going on with this. And I mean, I guess I get slightly confused because remember this whole thing, uh, I've been— we've been told several times that it's over. So I'm not sure, um, how that's working out because to me over means over, doesn't mean, uh, that it continues going, uh, even, uh, when it's not over. So what do you think about the whole thing? I'm just asking to have a better understanding. It's always a good time there, that's for sure. Okay, so with that being said, let's continue talking about some other things going on inside of the world of the multiverse, uh, because that's just kind of how it goes from time to time. A federal, uh, appeals court has ruled that the audio recording, uh, and transcripts from Joe Biden's interview with a ghostwriter can be released to the public. The 2-to-1 decision said the public interest in seeing the material outweighs Biden's, uh, remaining privacy concerns even after redactions. The recordings stem from an interview Biden gave at his ghost— home at his ghostwriter, uh, for his memoirs. The Heritage Foundation sought the material through the Freedom of Information Act, a request tied to the investigation into Biden's handling of classified documents. Although the investigation did not result in criminal charges, the Justice Department announced earlier this year that it is intended to release the records. The court has delayed the release until August 3rd to give Biden time to appeal. One judge dissented, arguing that the interview took place in Biden's home and deserves greater privacy protection. A spokesperson for Biden criticized the ruling, saying that the recordings were provided to the Justice Department with an understanding that they would remain private, and accused the administration of using the DOJ as a political purposes. I mean, I guess there's really, if you kind of think about it, that's what it seems like. So what's your general here? Like, is your general opinion, should they be released? Should they not be released? It's just definitely different in regards to the whole thing. I mean, I don't know how to look at it because now imagine this, anytime going forward that there will be a sitting president That will be interviewed for anything, um, specifically books where you're, uh, giving some data there and then saying, hey, I will or will not, uh, use some of this information or decide to, uh, give some of these discussions. You're going to be very, very, very hesitant before you do anything. I mean, I would imagine that that would be the, the use case.
Speaker A [00:19:21]:
Yeah.
Speaker B [00:19:22]:
What do you think here? I mean, if you did an interview and then all of a sudden a whole bunch of stuff got changed, a whole bunch of stuff, uh, was discussed, and then all of a sudden it was like, oh yeah, we're gonna use this against you later on. Yeah, you're probably gonna be a little bit hesitant, uh, before you do anything or allow anything to happen. By the way, I had to look down for a moment because, uh, there's some— there's a, a mob scene occurring behind me from what I understand. So that's, uh, that's what we're working on. So we came to see the mob scene is what it sounds like. So there you go. A lot of information to, uh, give some consideration to as we are moving. So there you go. There you go. Okay. So with that being said, let's talk about some other stuff that is going on. President Trump reportedly wants FIFA president. to become the next United Nations Secretary-General once Antonio Guterres steps down at the end of the year.
Speaker A [00:20:25]:
That's interesting.
Speaker B [00:20:28]:
Trump was impressed with Infantino's leadership during the 2026 FIFA World Cup and believes that the longtime executive has a unique ability— yeah, a unique ability— to bring people together internationally. The 2 developed a close working relationship through the tournament, with Infantino frequently appearing alongside Trump at World Cup events. The idea is still in the early stages, and it's not even clear whether Infantino has interest in the position. To become a UN Secretary-General, a candidate must first win the backing of 15 members of the UN Security Council and then be approved by the UN General Assembly, making the selection process highly competitive. So what do you think? I mean, I don't know. I, I'm not picking here. And you know how I feel about sports, 'cause I talk about it all the time. Imagine leaving the sporting world and saying, yeah, I think I'm gonna go into politics. I don't really see a lot of people saying some of that.
Neha Punya [00:21:30]:
Duh.
Speaker B [00:21:30]:
I'm just saying that out loud. If you gotta give it some consideration, it's one of those weird ones that you kind of go, well, I don't see it happening because why would I wanna give up the fun stuff?
Neha Punya [00:21:40]:
Duh.
Speaker B [00:21:41]:
So there you go. Anyways, let's continue talking some other stuff. The late Senator, Lindsey Graham will receive one of the nation's highest honors when he lies in state in the U.S. Capitol Rotunda on July 28th. Senate Republican leaders announced the tribute ahead of the funeral service in Washington, D.C. and his home state of South Carolina. After the Capitol ceremony, Graham's body will be taken on to the Washington National Cathedral for an invitation-only service expected to attend— to be attended by the president. The following day, Graham will return to South Carolina for a funeral procession. featuring the F-16 flyover by South Carolina Air National Guard, followed by a church service and a private family burial in Pickens County. Graham, who died on July 12th at the age of 71, is being remembered with honors reserved for some of the nation's most distinguished public servants. His sister, Senator Darlene Graham Nardone, thanked President Trump and Senate leaders and everyone involved in organizing the tribute, saying that they Have, uh, gone above and beyond the honor for her brother's legacy. Now let me just ask a question because holy crap, that seems like a lot of movement for a body. What do you think about this? I mean, I understand the honoring thing. I mean, I, I can, um, you know, understand the purpose to some point, but man, does that get weird when you're starting to move, uh, move this all around. When you, uh, start thinking about it. I'm just saying, it's just one of those weird ones because that's a lot of movement, um, in regards to making sure that something gets from one place to another and so on. Because if you really think about it, what are you really doing here? I mean, I understand wanting to honor somebody, but man, it gets kind of, kind of interesting when it's all said and done. Okay. So with that being said, let's talk about this real quick. In a TikTok video, Holder and his family made a funny song titled Let Us Parasite. The song is done with an afternoon delight. Take a listen to this. Okay, I guess people are just getting creative out there, uh, when it comes to parasites. I mean, I don't know, it's getting kind of serious when you start making songs about this stuff, uh, that's for sure, as we are talking. Okay, with that being said, let's get into some other news because hey, why would we not want to do that? A New York man is sharing his incredible survival story after falling more than 100 feet off a cliff at, uh, the Kaaterskill Falls in 2009. Andrew says that he slipped while trying to take down a shortcut down the mountain, bounced off the rocks and trees, and suffered devastating injuries. injuries, including a shattered shoulder, broken vertebrae, a cracked pelvis, and a collapsed lung, and tore an ACL. While unconscious, Andrew says that he experienced what he believes to be a near-death experience. He describes seeing swirling beams of light that filled him with overwhelming love before finding himself in what felt like an interrogation room with spirits and guardian angels. He says that He— they comforted him but also delivered a, a chilling message: this has to happen. Andrew regained consciousness at the bottom of the cliff where the doctor who, uh, happened to be hiking nearby helped save his life before he was airlifted to the hospital. Despite extensive injuries, he returned to college just 56 days later and finished his degree. I'll talk about, uh, talk about some interesting times. What an interesting time altogether. I guess let's stay in New York for a moment because I got some more news out of there, uh, that's for sure. 27-year-old woman has died after receiving anti-aging treatment at a wellness center in the Bronx. After the clinic operator is now facing criminal charges, police say that the woman lost consciousness during the treatment of a Bare Sheet Lifestyle Center on Sunday and was rushed to a nearby hospital where she was pronounced dead. Authorities has not released the identity or disclosed exactly what procedure she underwent. Although reports indicate that she may have received injections, the city medical examiner is conducting a toxicology test to determine the cause of death. The clinic operator, Luis Rojas Cabrera, has been arrested and charged with reckless endangerment and unauthorized practice of the profession. According to the clinic website, he is a surgeon and a naturopath in the Dominican Republic and is certified in alternative holistic medicines in the US.
Speaker A [00:26:36]:
Wow.
Speaker B [00:26:39]:
The incident comes as alternative medicine and longevity clinics face increasing scrutiny following several high-profile cases involving injuries and death linked to experimental wellness treatments. What do you think about this? I mean, I get so confused by this, and I'm not gonna lie here. And if you look at me and you're on the video aspect, you know that the anti-aging thing is not something in the department that I'm hanging out That's for sure. No problem there. That does not bother me whatsoever.
Speaker A [00:27:09]:
Duh.
Speaker B [00:27:09]:
But I do want to talk about this. Why would you be willing to take some of these risks to look younger? I mean, there's so many different things that you can do without potential needles or going under the knife, as they like to say. I don't know. It gets interesting. But I always, I say this among people that are close to me normally, vanity is my favorite sin. And I only say that often because I saw that in a movie that a guy quoted it, and I thought it was kind of interesting to, to go around and say, uh, to other people. But man, what an interesting time, uh, that is for sure. Take a listen to this. A Georgia woman says that she got more than pepperoni when she opened a Little Caesars pizza. After bringing the pizza home, she claims that she found cockroaches crawling inside of the box and posted it on TikTok where it racked up 1.5 million views. The internet quickly split into 2 camps. Some blamed the restaurant while Many commenters argue the roaches are likely from the customer's home or car, saying that it seemed too calm about the discovery. The woman later posted the video defending herself, sharing the other clips that she claims from showing sanitation problems in the restaurant. So that pizza came from the extra protein and zero tip. So what a weird time. I mean, I know that people want to, uh, to post videos and talk about stuff, and I get that. I mean, I'm not saying there's anything wrong with it. But when you post videos, uh, for that, do you really— how do you look at it? Because I go, okay, you essentially had what exactly? So you had some mega roaches, because there's no other way to put it, that were, uh, inside of there. What are you gonna do now? Because what a weird time. Nobody, uh, you know, wants to be eating roaches, that's for sure. At least I don't think anybody wants to eat roaches.
Speaker A [00:29:05]:
Yeah.
Speaker B [00:29:06]:
But what are you going to do now that you posted this on TikTok? So of course now people are questioning some of the things you have going on, but that's okay because those things happen. But man, what a weird time. I don't know if I'd be posting this. Maybe I'd be talking to the people at Little Caesars and seeing what exactly is going on. So there you go. Okay. So let's see. Let's talk about this one. ESPN college football analyst Darius Walker got an unexpected hotel upgrade after the staff apparently mistook him for singer Darius Rucker during check-in. Walker shared the funny mix-up on Instagram, joking that there's another famous Darius and today we both won. While giving viewers a tour of his upgraded room, the post quickly went viral, and Rucker joined in the fun by commenting, you're welcome. Walker later posted a follow-up video joking that he was investigating this other Darius. He playfully reminded fans that he is Darius, that Darius is his whole life, winning football championships and working on TV before praising Rucker Music's career and laughing that some people think that the singer's real name is Hootie. Walker even joked to start carrying a photo of Rucker on future trips in hopes of scoring more accidental upgrades. So there you go. A lot of stuff there. So here's a scary one for you.
Speaker A [00:30:29]:
Scary, scary.
Speaker B [00:30:31]:
A 3-year-old California girl is recovering after after being bitten by a rattlesnake while running to grab an Amazon package left in her family's yard. The snake had been hiding behind the, the padded envelope outside of the family rural home in Santa Clarita. After the bite, her mother rushed her to meet first responders before she was hospitalized. The girl received multiple doses of antivenom and spent 2 nights in pediatric ICU. Um, her family has launched a GoFundMe to help her recover the mounting medical debt and lost wages that her father miss to work, uh, to be with her. The fundraiser has already raised more than $7,000 towards the $16,000 goal. Her father says that she's about 70% recovered, though, um, her hand is still bruised. He hopes to share, uh, her story with families to be extra careful outdoors and always check around, uh, packages that are left outside. Really? I mean, listen, I understand that these things, uh, are anomalies for sure. So, but I mean, it's one of those things that you have to look at it and go, how do you, uh, how do you make sure? Because let's be realistic, most people, or most of us, the time that a package gets dropped at the door, you're kind of making a runzo for it and wanting to see what exactly is going on. Let's not lie here. And then we move on. So there you go, some things to think about. Okay, so with that being said, let's go ahead and do this real quick. 32 minutes past the top of the hour. And let's go ahead and get into that thing that we like to do that we call our main story.
Speaker A [00:32:10]:
Here is our main story on the Rated R Safety Show.
Speaker B [00:32:15]:
So main story time is really the, the thing that I seem to enjoy that we get to. And sometimes we have to talk about some things that are uncomfortable. Sometimes we have to talk about some things that some people will look at and go, well, why in the hell are we talking about this today? And that's okay because that's kind of been the sole purpose of the show for some time. So it's not like we're just all of a sudden saying, hey, we're going to talk about this. And it's never something that hasn't been mentioned before. But do you understand when I use the term double talking jive? Do you understand what it means? If you don't, let's kind of go through a breakthrough for a moment, or a breakdown, because a breakthrough might have happened, but a breakdown will definitely happen at some point here. You are aware that we all get to do this lovely work that we interpret when it comes to safety and reliability and doing all of this stuff inside of, um, inside of the workplace. I remember many, many, many moons ago, I was talking to, uh, the Hop Nerd Sam Goodman, and he talked about the terminology safety fix-it. And it was interesting to hear him talk about that because it was the discussion that at some point throughout your career, it always seems like the organizations are depending on safety to fix the problem. That's his quote, not mine. Listen, I think it's a really good quote, but it was one of those things that I, that I looked at it and I said, What he's saying makes a lot of sense because it is on— there's a lot of things that depend on what needs to happen, and it seems like a lot of times they would depend on safety to fix everything. The reason that I bring this up, and you go, what does that have to do with Tall Bill Talking Jive, is because there normally is a layout of what the expectancy for the safety department to do. So then we have to get into these weird tirades and conversations about things that occur Things to talk about, things to discuss. And this is where the double talking jive occurs. It becomes if you do this, we will in return do that for you. Quick pro quo is what it sounds like sometimes. But it becomes that weird conversation that people within the organization want to help and change things. And then at the same time too, I look at it and I go. So what makes the most logical sense of the stuff that's going on? And I hate when I go into a meeting, this is a, one of these weird ones where we have a discussion on the things that need to be implemented inside of the organization. The people will bring up the information. The person that's going to lead in regards to what needs to change all of a sudden starts listening. They start agreeing. They start telling you on how the things that we're talking about right now are going to be transformative within the company. They are going to change the structure of the organization because they're so important. But then all of a sudden they have the next convo, and the next convo is where it starts. It starts up with all of the information that was disseminated in your initial meeting. And now it's being told to someone else. And this is where the double-talking jive occurs. This is where everything starts taking the small change. The person decides, okay, we will move forward in doing this, but here is what the crew has said. And then the next portion— now what they had agreed on originally has changed into something else, and now we're moving forward again. Now we're changing exactly what needs to be done. Yeah. So with that being said, I want you to give this some consideration. Why is it that we run into this scenario where we'll call it double talking jive, but it's almost like people are speaking out of both sides of their mouth when they're saying they're going to do something? And it reminds me a lot of when I get to look around and you see the double talking jive occur throughout the organization. It's amazing. To me when you get to see the double-talking jive from inspirational speakers. It's amazing to me when you get to see the double-talking jive from the union leaders. And it's amazing to me just to see this happen within workplaces. Why is it that we cannot try to move forward in doing something within the organization without adding what we'll deem right here Pork. To what needs to change. And I understand that in every relationship there is a level of give and take, but how is it that it becomes so complicated during work events, during work acknowledgments? I only ask this because it becomes extremely strange for me. It becomes one of those places that I have a hard time of why is it that there's always something that needs to be as part of a trade-off. Here's the way that I look at it, and listen, I could be absolutely wrong. If I'm not able to be assigned directly to the CEO to report to. Let me report to the CFO. And it's not that we have common language, because I don't want it to be that aspect, but I want you to have the understanding of, if I have access directly to the CFO, they're able to understand black and white when it comes to numbers. They're able to understand risk for the most part when we're talking about this. And understand also at the time that Safety is normally considered a loss center. It's normally how it's assigned. It's not a profit center. You will never see a profit line. Most of the times, the things that we want to do within the safety department are at a cost. They do not make a profit. Now, here's the fun part. There could be some things that you've done inside of the world of safety that has saved the organization money. The problem is trying to prove it. That's where it becomes extremely difficult, because the proof, as they like to say, is in the pudding. But how do you prove it? How do you prove something that you can't prove? It becomes extremely weird, and this is what causes most of the times of the double-talking jive within the organization. And why do I say that? Because if you can't prove it, the person has nothing to rely on when they move forward. So they can say, hey, the people from safety said they were going to be willing to do this, but let's in trade do all these other things as well.
Speaker A [00:39:47]:
Oops. What did he just say? We at Safety FM don't always agree with the viewpoints of our hosts and guests. Now back to real safety talk on Safety FM. Don't go anywhere. You're listening to the home of real safety talk. You're listening to Safety FM. We'll be right back. You've seen the loop. You've felt the shift. The script doesn't fit anymore, and neither do you. Safety Transmission: The Collapse of the Construct is the 3rd and final signal in the trilogy from J. Allen, PhD. And this time, it's not about waking up. It's about what you do once you're awake. The The system didn't break. It just stopped pretending to hold you. And now it's blinking, rebranding presence, packaging resistance, and calling it progress. This book isn't a guide. It's a transmission. It doesn't teach the system how to evolve. It shows you how to stop performing for it. You'll see what happens when awareness becomes responsibility, when audits don't listen, and when leadership becomes a loop. But if you've made it this far, you're not here to be managed. You're here to carry signal. Safety Transmission: The Collapse of the Construct. Now available in print, Kindle, and audiobook. Narrated by Jay Allen, PhD.

Speaker B [00:49:02]:
I think it's important. Maybe we should start using— doing that. I mean, we do it as once-off one-offs, but maybe we should start doing things we've learned from movies a little bit more often here. Maybe we we'll stick that right before the Motivation Minute. Maybe that's where we'll start doing that. Who knows? Anyways, with that being said, let's bring some John Smalls into our life and let him tell us about the Motivation Minute.
Speaker A [00:49:23]:
Courtesy of jayscasemedical.com. Today's quote was submitted by Laura. Walt Whitman said, happiness is not another place but this place, not for another hour but this hour. Cool quote, I think. I'm pretty sure he means don't wait to be happy, choose to be happy here and now. I condone that. I know people who think they need a promotion to be happy, or they need, you know, to date a certain person to be happy, or they need to drive a certain car to be happy, or live in a certain home to be happy. I'm happy right now. I absolutely love my wife and I love our house. But you know what? We did the work to make that house our own. We did the work to make the marriage our own. My car, it's nothing special, but it gets me where I need and I love my job, but if I woke up tomorrow and had to do something different, I'd find a way to love that too. Choose to be happy here. Choose to be happy now. 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. Here is the news on the Radar Safety Show. A federal judge has temporarily blocked the administration from stripping work permits from thousands of immigrants and asylum seekers who rely on a special protection program. The ruling halts plans to revoke employment authorization from people with Temporary Protected Status while the court weighs whether the policy violates federal law and due process rights.
Speaker B [00:50:52]:
Lawyers say the pause gives affected workers and families breathing room as they challenge the changes, and the outcome could shape how future presidents handle humanitarian protections.
Speaker A [00:51:02]:
Lebanon's president wrapped up a Washington visit with a White House meeting where the American president pledged support for rebuilding and stabilizing the country after recent cross-border fighting. Lebanese leader Joseph Aoun met the U.S. president inside the Oval Office as both sides sought to lock in a framework for Israeli troops to leave southern Lebanon and disarm Hezbollah units there. The talks aim to turn a fragile withdrawal deal into a longer-term security arrangement. movement that could eventually lead to formal peace between the neighbors and lessen the risk of a wider regional war. Chris Anderson reporting. 5 people have died in an Ohio river after a rescue attempt went tragically wrong when several adults jumped in to help a struggling swimmer. Authorities say 2 people entered the Scioto River to aid someone in distress, followed by 2 more rescuers, before fast-moving water overcame all involved. Investigators are piecing together the sequence of events as local leaders urge residents to respect dangerous currents, and the community grieves a sudden loss that underscores the risks of improvised rescues. Liam White reporting. The Lebanese Army has moved into a southern town vacated by Israeli forces, the first major test of a U.S.-brokered deal meant to end cross-border clashes. Soldiers deployed to positions around the town after an agreed Israeli pullout, with officials saying the operation is designed to replace Hezbollah fighters with regular troops under international monitoring. If this initial handover succeeds, further deployments could extend along the frontier, reducing rocket fire and opening space for negotiations on a durable ceasefire. Gary Beck reporting. House Republicans in Washington face a pivotal stretch as they race to pass the president's priorities before lawmakers leave town for a long August recess. Party leaders are pushing votes on spending bills, immigration measures, and national security funding. funding that closely reflect the White House agenda. Failure to move key legislation before the break could weaken the president's bargaining power, deepen internal GOP rifts, and give Democrats fresh ammunition heading into the fall campaign season. Kyle Norris reporting. The administration has paused about $1 billion in Medicaid payments to California and Minnesota after raising concerns about how the states are using federal funds. Health officials say the suspension affects certain managed care programs while auditors review whether spending and reporting comply with federal rules. The move pressures state governments to address billing questions quickly, and it could prompt broader scrutiny of Medicaid oversight at a time when budgets and health coverage remain politically sensitive. Kevin Sanders reporting. Moldova's parliament has installed a new prime minister who promises to revive a struggling economy while keeping the small nation on course for closer ties with Europe. Lawmakers in Chișinău backed investor Vasile Tofan, to lead a fresh cabinet after he outlined plans for growth measures, anti-corruption efforts, and energy reforms aligned with European Union standards. The government now faces the hard work of convincing skeptical citizens and EU partners that Moldova can modernize quickly enough to secure membership and resist pressure from Russia. Benjamin Wright reporting. United Nations monitors report a sharp rise in Ukrainian civilian casualties driven largely by waves of drone strikes hitting cities and infrastructure in recent weeks. The UN human rights office says explosive drones and missiles have slammed into residential areas and energy sites, killing and injuring more noncombatants and damaging critical services. Investigators warn that continued attacks on crowded urban centers could deepen humanitarian suffering, strain medical systems, and complicate any future accountability efforts for potential war crimes. Lawrence Keller reporting. And that's the latest news headlines with Alan Edwards. If you think local radio sucks, Wait till you hear our freeform station, Radio Big.
Speaker B [00:55:02]:
Okay, so there you go. 55 minutes past the top of the hour. Let's go ahead and talk about some things that happened back on this date. Back in 1775, George Washington takes command of the troops. Let's see, in 1983, Dick Smith makes his first solo helicopter flight around the world. In 1990, Greg LeMond, the U.S., wins the bicycling 3rd Tour de France. Uh, let's see, in 1994, O.J. Simpson pleads innocent to the slaying of his ex-wife Nicole and her friend Ronald Goldman. In, uh, 2003, members of the 101st Airborne of the U.S. aided the Special Forces attack the compound in Iraq, killing Saddam Hussein and son Uday and Qusay, along with Mustafa Hussein. And Qusay was a 14-year- and a, and a bodyguard. So there you go. Also in 2019, Marvel superhero film Avengers: Endgame becomes the world's highest-grossing film, overtaking Avatar, earning $2.9 billion. And in 2024, the U.S. Postal Service issues a commemorative postage stamp honoring Alex Trebek, a longtime host of the TV quiz show Jeopardy!, in Culver City, California. So there you go. That's some things that happened back on that date. Let's talk about some birthdays that are going on today. Albert Brooks turned 79, Danny Glover, Don Henley, 79. Apparently 79 is the age today. William Dafoe turns 71. John Leguizamo, 62. David Spade, 62. And Selena Gomez turns 34 today. So there you go, that's some birthdays going on. Let's talk about some things that you ought to know. President Trump is expected to announce a new round of tariffs on dozens of countries within days of his temporary 10% global tariff policy expires later this week. According to reports, the administration officials have proposed prepared several options for expanding tariffs, despite concerns from some advisers that escalating trade tensions could create economic uncertainty ahead of the midterm election. The move also follows Trump's decision to impose 50% tariffs on a range of Canadian goods and 25% tariffs on imports from Brazil. The administration says that its tougher trade stance is aimed at protecting American industry and encouraging fairer trade practices, while critics warn that broader tariffs could raise the cost businesses and things for consumers. So there you go. Also, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told senators yesterday that the war on Iran has cost $37.5 billion so far, higher figure than previously reported. He appeared before the Senate Appropriations Committee to push President Trump's $87.6 billion supplemental funding request for the money intended to replenish the Pentagon resources in the conflict. Hegseth said that opening remarks were in interrupted several times by protesters before he continued. So there you go. It'll be interesting to see what happens. Anyways, at the top of the hour, I will be going over to radiobig.fm if you want to come hang out with me for the next couple hours or so. If not, you can hang out right here with Sheldon Primus as he talks about the world of safety consulting. If I can leave you with some words of wisdom for today, the quality of a person's life in direct proportion to their commitment to excellence. And if you need some advice for today, here you go. Use a magnetic strip on your cabinet to hold tweezers, nails, and clippers and scissors. There's something to think about. Anyways, I know who you are. You know who I am. Love ya, mean it, and goodbye.
