The static just got hacked and the grid is melting—welcome to the August 31, 2026 multiverse blast direct from the chaos reactor deep inside Safety FM studios, Orlando. We ripped the signal straight out of the system, pinged it across a thousand frequencies, and let the news cannons fire. On this round, the eardrum pain is real, but so is the truth: relationships in the workplace are just another front in the war against the Black Iron Prison, and if you’re not questioning the Map, you’re getting steamrolled by high-entropy garbage. We’re torching bureaucracy, killing compliance theater, and waking up every damn sleeper agent the industry thought it buried.
If you think anti-bureaucracy means just rolling eyes at paperwork, think again. Today’s psych ops theme: what happens when professional connections lose their charge, what the system wants you to do, and how to punch out of low-entropy safety culture while the watchdogs sharpen the knives. This was never about keeping your head down—it’s high-risk signal blasting in a world that wants you comfortably numb.
Track Breakdown & Segment Notes
The Bureaucratic Intrusion: The rot of stale connections and decaying trust is on full display. When The Map demands audits and the fire’s gone, organizations start the assessment dance, hunting for a reason to drop the ax. It’s not just about skills, it’s about losing the psychological contract and becoming another faceless node in the system.
Rewiring Relationships With the System: Forget loyalty myths and pension nostalgia. The Black Iron Prison now rewards fast-exit hustlers and loyalty is just another word for compliance junkie. The low-entropy safety culture means routine audits and diluted standards, all while people are wondering who’s next to be “assessed” for obsolescence.
Professional Survival and the False Comfort of the Map: The system sells you on the idea of skill upkeep and upskilling but it’s just a way to mask the churn. The multiverse reminds us—become the signal, not the static. Stay sharp or get mapped out permanently.

Way away, away, hey, way away, away, hey, way away, away. This year I'm in for the win. Came for the rings and the trophies and I'mma continue to get 'em again and again. I'm separating the men from the boys that ain't never mature 'cause they tend to pretend. Surrounded by customized characters, not even comfortable in the original skin. Walk in the building like, tell all the companies get all my payments together. It's not subjective to say I'm the best, every verse that I make is a statement I'm better. Made some mistakes along the way, but I guess that's a trial of coming of age or whatever. Understand now that making it never is inevitable when you making it never. My songs played on TV shows constant.

Anyways, today is Monday, August the 31st of 2026, and we are broadcasting from the Safety FM studios in Orlando, Florida, coming across the multiverse known as Safety FM, and then hanging out with our friends and colleagues over there. I thought over there. Radio Big.

I just like to ask that question because it seems important to do, uh, that is for sure. Okay, so let's go ahead and do this. I have my friends from Feature Story News waiting in the wings wanting to talk about what the hell's going on inside of the cyberverse here. So let's go ahead and get us into the news right now.
Speaker E [00:04:26]:
Here is the news on the Radar Safety Show.
John Beaver [00:04:32]:
From Feature Story News in the UK, I'm John Beaver. The US and Iran have traded strikes after American forces attacked Larak Island in the Strait of Hormuz. US Central Command said it had taken limited, precise action against minelaying forces posing an imminent threat. It's the first confirmed US strikes on Iran since late July. Iran claimed to have retaliated by launching strikes against military bases in Jordan and the UAE. At least 8 people have died and 18 remain missing after a ferry carrying nearly 270 people capsized off the coast of Northern Cyprus on Sunday. Police have detained the captain and 7 crew members as part of an investigation into the sinking of the Philo Jet catamaran, which went down in rough seas 15 minutes after leaving port. The ferry had already been delayed by a day because of severe weather. Northern Cyprus's prime minister has called it the biggest maritime disaster Cyprus has ever experienced. The death toll from catastrophic flash floods in Nepal has risen to nearly 800, with more than 3,000 people still missing. The disaster was triggered last Tuesday when a Himalayan glacier collapsed, sending floodwaters and mudslides along a 72-kilometre stretch of river. Rebecca Bunden reports from Nepal.
Speaker A [00:05:51]:
There are hundreds of bodies that have been recovered, and many of them remained unidentified. So authorities made that decision that they, they've had to start conducting these mass burials because those bodies were decomposing so badly. However, it's understood that they have collected DNA information, so the hope is that eventually at least families will get information and they'll be able to identify some of those bodies.
John Beaver [00:06:19]:
The people of Iceland have voted no in a referendum on whether to renew negotiations on joining the European Union. Roughly 53% of the population rejected the plan, with many citing concerns over the island nation's fishing rights. William Denslow reports from Brussels.
Speaker G [00:06:35]:
According to public broadcaster RÚV, voter turnout was over 80%, the highest since the 2009 elections. The debate centred largely on security concerns, fuelled by US assertions of taking control of Greenland, and the impact of EU membership on the country's fishing industry. Iceland's fishing rights were a major motivation for pausing accession talks back in 2013, and that sentiment was evident again during the weekend's referendum. Iceland's part of the EU's single market, and concerns linger over the impact of what deeper integration would mean for its lucrative fishing industry. A spokesperson for the European Council's president says that the results of the referendum will be respected and that Iceland remains one of the EU's closest and most trusted partners.
John Beaver [00:07:25]:
From bureaus worldwide, this is FSN.
Speaker H [00:07:27]:
With FSN Spotlight, I'm Simon Marks. Today, President Trump says the US is taking even more control of Venezuela's oil industry. 9 months after U.S. armed forces overthrew President Nicolás Maduro and put his deputy, Delcy Rodríguez, in charge of the country, the president said the U.S. is taking control of about one-fifth of the country's oil reserves, giving the U.S. majority control over 65 billion barrels of Venezuela's proven oil reserves. President Trump said at a stroke, the transaction more than doubles America's reserves.
Speaker I [00:08:02]:
This is certainly a very good deal, a very big deal for US oil multinationals.
Speaker H [00:08:07]:
Jorge Martín is with the Hands Off Venezuela campaign and says the White House is already accused of failing to account for $13 billion of Venezuelan oil it has shipped out of the country.
Speaker I [00:08:19]:
This is not audited, at least in terms of a public audit. And recently, a Venezuelan official said that the United States has charged Venezuela Between $3 and $4 billion for the cost of the military intervention out of these oil sales. This is very good business, not for the Venezuelan people who are seeing very, very little of this money, and any money that's being sent back to Venezuela is fully under the control of the United States.
Speaker H [00:08:49]:
The Venezuelan government said the agreement with the US will remain in force for at least the next 25 years. With FSN Spotlight, I'm Simon Marks.
John Beaver [00:08:59]:
To recap the top stories: the US and Iran have traded strikes after American forces attacked Larak Island in the Strait of Hormuz. US Central Command said it had taken limited, precise action against mine-laying forces posing an imminent threat. At least 8 people have died and 18 remain missing after a ferry capsized off the coast of northern Cyprus on Sunday. And the people of Iceland have voted no in a referendum on whether to renew negotiations on joining the European Union. That's the latest Feature Story News. Jon Beaver reporting.

Speaker D [00:15:10]:
Okay, here we go. 15 minutes past the top of the hour. Let's go ahead and get into it right away, talking about all the stuff that is going on inside of this multiverse of ours, because that definitely seems to be the, uh, the giggo here. So let's go ahead and get into it. So let's get into some serious news stuff because that always seems to be importante. The uneasy calm between the U.S. and Iran appears to be over. The U.S. launched missiles at 2 Iranian rocket launchers on Larak Island near the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz, making the first direct American military action against Iran in about a month. The U.S. official said that the Iranian Revolutionary Guard launches were being prepared for operation involving sea mines, which could further threaten shipping through one of the world's most important oil routes. Iran wasted little time responding. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard said that they fired ballistic missiles at 2 U.S. military bases in Jordan in retaliation, and reports indicated that multiple incoming projectiles were intercepted, although the situation remained fluid and remains about, uh, damage and casualties were still emerging. So there you go, a lot of stuff going on right there. So, you know, it's interesting because it's been quiet for some time, and then all of a sudden, out of the blue zone, we got this going on. And so then you're gonna have all kinds of questions about some of the stuff that is happening, and that's where it gets kind of weird because you look at it and you go, I thought things were winding down based on what we've been told. Guess that does not seem to be the case at the moment, but that's how this stuff goes from time to time.
Speaker E [00:16:58]:
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 D [00:17:08]:
Okay, so let's continue talking about some other stuff that is going on. President Trump is escalating his feud with Meet the Press host Kristen Welker, saying that he plans to report her to the FCC over what he called inaccurate comments about his record in endorsing political candidates. Trump took issue with Welker describing his endorsement results as mixed, arguing that, uh, his recent record has been much stronger. NBC came, uh, to Welker's defense, calling her one of the best in the business. The dispute also follows a tense Meet the Press interview earlier this year that ended with President Trump abruptly walking away. While Trump says that he wants Welker reported, the FCC generally has limited authority over individual journalists and cannot simply punish reporters over coverage it doesn't like. I mean, here's where it gets interesting. It's— you look at it and you kind of go, hold on, I thought the Federal Communications Commission was there for something entirely different. And listen, I thought reporting was reporting. Accuracy is always important as well. And what exactly does mixed mean in regards to that? I mean, that's where I think a lot of people will run into the question. I mean, you can look up the definition of mixed and you can look up the interpretation of mixed.
Speaker C [00:18:32]:
And yeah, everything can be mixed.
Speaker D [00:18:34]:
It's such a wide description of stuff. It kind of gets weird when it comes to that. And maybe it is a mixed result. Some won, some lost, and that's kind of how it goes. I mean, that's mixed. I mean, unless we want to go back to the olden days when we had alternative facts. Remember when that term was thrown around all the time? Oh yes. We have alternative facts. What? Yeah. Alternative facts. That's what we use around here. Okay. So let's continue talking about some other stuff that is going on because it always seems to be important And I have to tell you, sometimes when we get into this main story stuff, or let me rephrase that, some of the main news stuff that's going on before we get into our main story, I'm always amazed on the amount of politics that we have to talk about just to get there. Yeah, it's amazing. Anyways, President Trump is turning up the heat in his escalating trade feud between Canada, declaring that he doesn't want Canadian cars, Canadian auto parts, or as he put it, Canadian anything. In a series of, uh, Truth Social posts, Trump defended his tariff policies and argued that they are— that they have helped save the American auto industry after years of what he described as unfair treatment by Canada. The president said that the days of allowing Canada to take advantage of the United States were over. Trump did leave the door open for Canadian companies to keep doing business in America with one condition: Move to the United States. He urged Canadian companies to relocate their operations south of the border, saying companies, um, that move back would face no tariffs. So when you say move back, what exactly are we talking about? Maybe that's going to be the, the better or deeper understanding that we need, because if you say we don't, um, We want to go ahead and move forward with this. That's going to be the gig. We're probably going to have to have a better understanding of what exactly that means, opposed to it just being some, uh, common, uh, thrown out thing outside there. So there you go. I don't know. It looks like one of those things that becomes more and more interesting as we are talking. No doubt about that. What do you think about this whole thing? I'm just asking your opinion. It always seems to, uh, to be importante to talk about some of this stuff. I mean, just think about it for a moment. Okay, let's continue talking about some other things because that's just kind of what we do around here. We talk a little bit about everything that is going on. And I want to talk about this because I think it's important. And listen, I will tell you, many, many, many moons ago when this gentleman moved from terrestrial radio to satellite radio. It was all the, all the rage. I want to say this was 2006, and we're talking like 20 years ago, give or take. But SiriusXM is dropping Howard 101. Now keep in mind, he has 2 channels, okay? The channel that featured classic Stern Close past shows and memorable interviews from the lineup beginning tomorrow, uh, Howard 100, which carries Stern's newer programming, will remain on the air. And adding a little salt to the wound, radio Andy, hosted by Bravo boss and media personality Andy Cohen, is moving to 101. So Stern isn't losing his main channel, but his old channel number is being handed to media rival. That's the radio equivalent of your old office being turned into your boss's favorite employee lounge. The move comes after a difficult stretch for Stern and his staff. Reports in July said that Stern was preparing to reduce his schedule to just one new show per week when he returns from his summer break. With reruns and archived material filling the rest of the week. Around a dozen staff members were reportedly laid off as part of the downsizing. So I'm going to talk about 2 things here because I think it's important for us to discuss. Number one, I thought Andy Cohen and him were friends based on what I understood, because when he did his renewal, they played it off like Andy Cohen had taken over Channel 100 and then they played it off. So it's kind of weird that you would say that they don't get along. Numero dos, and let's not forget this thing. You are aware that Howard Stern is 72, and I'm not picking here. Listen, I'm glad that he's doing it still at this age, but you have to look at it as like, how long is the guy going to continue doing it? I mean, I will tell you that he was definitely a trendsetter, and I don't mean that in an insulting way. I mean, he changed the way that radio is, was, and will ever be based on the way that he did terrestrial radio. So how many more years were— is he going to be around? I mean, I think that at this age, thinking that most people retire 65, 67 area, for him still to be doing it even at one show a week, it's better than nothing. I mean, I— it just depends on how you look at it, but that's my opinion. Doesn't mean that you necessarily have to agree with it. I'm just telling you how it goes. So kind of an interesting time, that is for sure. So let's continue talking about some other stuff because I think it's important to do this. So here's where things are about to get weird. Okay, so are you ready? And I hope you're sitting down. You are aware the prices continue to go up. Do you remember many, many, many moons ago when Apple TV first came out? And this is many moons ago. The price for Apple TV was $5 a month. $5 a month. Do you remember that? Well, Apple announced that its monthly subscription price is increasing from $12.99 because that's what what the price cycle's at, to $14.99, while its annual plan is jumping from $99 to $119. The new rates take effect for new and existing subscribers as of August 28th, although the current subscribers will get about a month's notice before they see the higher price. The price change to Apple One plan included, which bundles Apple services together, it is also going up from $19.95 to $21.95. This is the second straight year that Apple has raised its streaming price. Last August, The monthly cost jumped from $9.99 to $12.99, a hefty 30% increase, while the annual rate stayed about the same. This time around, both monthly and annual prices are getting the hit. So there you go. Interesting times. I have to tell you, with everything the way that it's going, things seem to continue to get more and more expensive. And I guess that's just kind of how it goes. But man, it is crazy out there as we are talking. So there you go. Let's get into some odd stories real quick because it just seems to be the thing we need to do. An 18-year-old woman in Bangkok is accusing a bar manager of shaving her head after she allegedly tried to leave without paying a massive bar bill of more than $1,800. The woman allegedly used a fake ID to get into the bar and ran up a tab of 60,000 Thai baht, uh, reportedly more than, uh, 200 drinks before attempting to leave without paying. She later filed a police complaint claiming that the manager and her staff threatened her before shaving off her hair. Uh, the bar manager disputes the version of the events. He claims that the young woman and her mother agreed to sell her hair as a way to, uh, to settle the bill. Video of the incident reportedly shows the woman appearing to agree to, to the hair purchase contract before the man uses electric clipper to shave off her hair. Entirely. The woman's mother later told the police that she didn't realize that the arrangement would result in her daughter's head being completely shaved. The woman also claims that she never gave permission for the video of the incident to be posted online. Authorities are now investigating, and the story has become a messy dispute over whether a haircut was voluntary or forced. So she allegedly tried to skip out on the bill, but apparently the bar had a very aggressive, uh, rewards program for her is what it sounds like. But what a crazy time. So there has to be some, uh, admission here that at some point you were trying to skip out on the bill. That's definitely what it sounds like. I mean, I don't think that that's, uh, that's up for debate. But what an interesting time is what we're talking about, that is for sure. Okay, with that being said, let's continue talking about some other things. Take a listen to Listen to this one. A Texas man wasn't about to get a little uncertainty to get in his way about doing the right thing. Roberto José Andrade Franco, an ESPN writer from El Paso, had lunch at Langer's Deli in Los Angeles back in May. But after heading home to Texas, one question kept bothering him. Did he bother to leave a tip?
Speaker C [00:27:16]:
Yep.
Speaker D [00:27:17]:
Did he bother to leave a tip? He thought that he probably did, but probably wasn't good enough. So Franco wrote a— wrote to the restaurant, included every detail he could remember about where he sat and even when he visited and mailed $50. Yeah, just direct, like a $50 bill to make sure the server got something if he had accidentally forgotten to tip. Franco explained that he and his friends had gotten into a back and forth over who was paying for the bill, and between the conversation, the math, and saying goodbye, he couldn't remember exactly what happened with the tip. Because he had Once worked as a busboy and a waiter and has a sister who has spent years working in the industry, Franco knew how important tips can be. He decided sending the money was better than spending the rest of his life wondering if he stiffed a hardworking waitress. The restaurant tracked down the server, who was reportedly floored by the gesture, and a coworker said that she is a beloved employee who has built a relationship with customers over the years and does a lot to help help out the restaurant. Langer's, uh, thanked Franco for going out of his way on doing the right thing when nobody would have known otherwise and told him that his table would always be waiting. So there he goes. He wasn't sure if he left a tip, so he mailed $50. Meanwhile, some people leave the restaurant and aren't sure if they paid for the meal. So I guess that kind of puts a different twist on things altogether.
Speaker E [00:28:44]:
Duh.
Speaker D [00:28:44]:
So there you go, some stuff to think about. What a nice gesture. Not something you get to hear about all the time in regards to people doing the right thing. So there you go. Um, just one of those things. So let's continue talking, um, about some other stuff that is going on. So take a listen to this because as we continue to talk about stuff, the world gets stranger. And I, and I mean, good for them in regards of how strange things can get from time to time. But 3 men in Switzerland proved that friendship could be more dangerous when they jumped into a giant floating airbag and launched the 4th man nearly 93 feet into the air. The stunt, known as blobbing, sent Swiss participant Robert Steiner soaring to a record-breaking height of 92.5 feet. The August 9th stunt in Switzerland smashed the previous Guinness World Record of 72 feet. Uh, which stood, um, since 2012, give or take. Steiner had been, uh, participating in blobbing events for about 4 years, and organizers said that they quickly realized that he had a special talent for being launched into the atmosphere like a human bottle rocket. Is that really something that you— how do you figure that out? Let's leave it for that. But, uh, we'll leave it there. Apparently the secret greatness is finding 3 friends willing to jump onto a giant airbag While you're sitting on the end of it, NASA may, uh, want to take some notes. So there you go, a lot of stuff going on right there. So I'm going to tell you the next one, but hopefully you're sitting as, uh, we have this conversation, because I always think it's, uh, important to do that because you never know where some of this stuff is going to go. But take a listen to this real quick. A man in Taiwan learned that the hard way that sometimes the truth comes out and sometimes it comes out The unarmed husband became suspicious that his wife was having an affair after finding a strange toothbrush in their vacation home. He later discovered that a man who had driven his wife home from work had apparently been spending some quality time with her. But when he confronted his wife, she denied anything was going on. A few months later, the husband remotely activated the robot vacuum at the vacation home, planning to surprise his wife by, uh, uh, talking to her through the device. Instead, he got a surprise of his own, and he turned on the vacuum camera and allegedly caught his wife with another man. Rather than immediately confronting her, the husband kept recording and later used the footage to sue his wife and her lover. He was awarded compensation, but when his wife countersued, arguing that he had illegally recorded their private activities without consent. The court agreed. Even though the footage helped prove the affair, the judges ruled that the husband didn't want— didn't have the right to secretly record them. He was sentenced to 5 months in jail and ordered to pay a fine. So this is the first divorce case that the key witness kept bumping into the furniture. I mean, what do you think about this? Because I don't know if you know this, but in some other countries, not all of them, if you are involved in an affair that causes a divorce in a relationship, you can be sued. It's not an uncommon practice, but it's a weird practice, but it's not uncommon. So what do you think about this? Because when you start looking at it, you go, wow, that's kind of amazing. But it's one of those things that you go, so now there's some suing going on. So the husband wanted to catch his wife cheating, and apparently the Roomba was, uh, ready to sweep in. So I don't know, some interesting times, that is for sure, as we are talking. So with that being said, why don't we go ahead and do this? Why don't we go ahead and get into our main story? And let's do that.
Speaker E [00:32:40]:
Here is our main story on the Rated R Safety Show.
Speaker D [00:32:44]:
Yep, main story time as we are 32 minutes past the top of the hour. And let's start getting into some of the stuff that is going on inside of the multiverse, 'cause I always find it kind of interesting as we, uh, take a look around at some of the stuff that is going on.
Speaker B [00:33:03]:
Duh.
Speaker D [00:33:03]:
And I kind of go, wow, what an amazing time we are living in with all of the stuff that we get to see. And I have to tell you, I get to do work with a lot of different companies, and I'm always kind of amazed some of the stuff that I'm Have the opportunity to be involved in. Believe me, it's one of those things that I'm always amazed when people contact in regards to what's going on. But let's talk for a moment because I want you to think about something, and we're going to get it— kind of go down a rabbit hole that's not a normal rabbit hole to go through. But I want you to think about this. I want you to think, even though we're talking about safety, I want you to think about relationships. And I want you to sit here for a moment and think about a relationship that you have at work. And I'm talking about a professional relationship. Okay? So I don't want there to be any kind of confusion on what I'm saying here, but I want you to think about a professional relationship at work that you have. And let's say that you've had this professional relationship at work for years, and all of a sudden things are not going So great, okay? And let's say, for instance, that you've been in this relationship at work, this professional relationship, let's say for eight years. Let's just throw that out there as a number. And all of a sudden, things are not going great, and confidence has been lost in regards of how the employee-employee team. Dynamic is working. And it's not that they are not great at what they do. It's just that same vigor and fire behind the whole thing is no longer there. So you're starting to question some things because that's kind of what happens. It's not like everything's always pretty and beautiful, but you're starting to question some things. And now you're wanting to perhaps look at exactly what the employee is doing, the team member is doing work-wise. So you start doing assessments. We're not going to call them audits, we're going to call them assessments to make sure that things are up to par, to make sure that, uh, everything that is being done is being done the proper way. You know what I'm talking about? You are aware that these things happen. So as you do this assessment Essentially what you're trying to verify is if they're as good as they once were, because that's just kind of what happens. So as you do the assessment, you start questioning that the person that was hired 8 years ago to do a job, if they're being held to the same standards of what's going on today.
Speaker B [00:35:54]:
Think about this.
Speaker D [00:35:55]:
This happens every day in workplaces, not the 8-year part, but we're evaluating relationships in regards to what's these professional relationships And if the people are still meeting what they were trying to meet in the past as they were hired on, brought on to the organization. And here's the fun part. Sometimes we go through these assessments and we're trying to figure out what we want to do next. We're trying to figure out, should this person still be part of the workplace? Should this person still be involved where maybe we can train, enhance, get new skills to move forward? And then there's sometimes that we look at it and go, maybe the environment has changed. Maybe the environment is no longer what it used to be. The person is still up to par. From where we hired them, but the way the industry has changed is not the same anymore. But they have not adjusted to this new thing. And I'm not picking on any of this, I'm just giving you examples of what happens. But then there's sometimes that we seem to lose confidence In people, but also at the same time too, we still realize that maybe they're the best in the area for the position. Maybe they're the best in the state for that position. Maybe they're the best in the country or one of the best in the country for that. So it's just about establishing components to the relationship that make sense. Listen, there's people that work inside of organizations that have been there for decades. I was talking to a lady a couple weeks ago that had been at the same place for 26 years. There was a position that was coming up that she was interested in, and she had to apply for the position, which makes sense. It's still within the same organization. But the funny part is that she has been there for 26 years. She has worked for the same boss for 26 years, and the person that was supposed to interview her is the same boss that she's had for 26 years. I kind of go, that has to be a weird dynamic relationship in regards of doing this. And these are the things that we have to talk about because listen, I'm going to tell you, and from a standpoint, people are constantly looking to see how well Well, we're doing the job because that's what we're hired for. But we have to look at it from the standpoint too, what are you doing to make sure that your skill set is staying on par? And maybe, just maybe, that's where we start asking questions. We don't start making assumptions that life is grand for everyone because sometimes it just isn't. Sometimes you have to look at it and go, we have to change things. And maybe we go, hey, this person's not perfect for this position, or maybe they're more, they're more, uh, perfect than what we originally thought for the position, and kind of just have to come to that particular realization, opposed to going, okay, we're constantly looking on getting rid of people. The problem that we run into nowadays is the following. One, at one point People are looking, or at some points people are looking for the quicker, better deal for jobs. Things are not how they used to be. Let's just be realistic. And I'm not picking up, hey, let's be old-timers here, but I remember when my parents were, or when I was younger and I was still living with my parents, it was always talks about pensions and things along those lines. Think about that conversation nowadays. How often does that happen? Or all of a sudden when the industry started going from people having pensions to all of a sudden turning around and going, oh no, we're buying out those pensions and we're no longer affording them. People are not as loyal as they used to be to companies. So it's just odd when we start looking at it and going, how is the relationship working? How are things going forward? And is it time for a change? Maybe they're just not meeting what we want anymore.
Speaker A [00:40:31]:

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

Speaker D [00:46:20]:
Yep, there you go. So let's continue talking about some other stuff going on inside of the world of the multiverse, because that just seems to be what we do around here. No doubt about that.

Anyways, with that being said, let's continue talking down the multiverse of ours. So we are definitely coming off of the Monday. So if we're doing that, guess what we're going to get to talk about here? Do you know? Do you know? Do you know? Do you have a good guess? I'm going to tell you anyways. Why don't we go ahead and talk about the box office?
Speaker M [00:47:33]:
The top spot at the box office this weekend.
Speaker D [00:47:36]:
At the box office.
Speaker G [00:47:37]:
The box office roundup.
Speaker D [00:47:38]:
The weekend box office. At the box office this weekend.
Speaker C [00:47:41]:
Yep.
Speaker D [00:47:41]:
So let's talk about the box office because you know that I'm gonna tell you this one and you're gonna be like, uh, I don't think I needed anyone to tell me this because we already knew it. But coming in at the number 10 spot was Tony with $2.2 million. At number 9 was Mutiny with $2.8 million. At number 8 was Paw Patrol: The Dino Movie, $4.9 million. At number 7 was The End of Oak Street, $5 million. At number 6, Buddy with $5.2 million. At number 5, The Dog Stars, $8 million. At number 4, Insidious: Out of the Further, $10.1 million. At number 3 was— take a listen to this— The Odyssey, $14.3 million. And at the number 2 spot was Coyote vs. ACME at $15.5 million. And coming in at the number 1 spot for the 5th week in a row, Spider-Man: A Brand New Day. Number 1 movie in North America with $22.2 million. So there you go, some things going on right there as we are talking. What do you think here? I'm just saying, kind of a, kind of an interesting one. So there you go. Take a listen to this because I got somebody to send me this and I was kind of surprised by it. But let me tell you anyways, Australian psychologist Holly Hill says that couples who want to stay together should try out Negotiated infidelity. Yep. With a sugar babe who acts as a surrogate wife meets with Hooters waitress and who, by the way, is paid by ministering to the men. Yep. Negotiated infidelity is about negotiating some sort of sexual alternative for the partner if you have unmatched libidos. It's about formally establishing a set of rules and boundaries for your relationship. And I think that for most people, that will end you up in divorce court right away. I mean, I don't know who Holly Hill is, but maybe we should probably look her up and see exactly some of the information that she's sharing. It's because it definitely sounds different. No doubt about that. Anyways, with that being said, why don't we go ahead and do something else and let's go ahead and bring some John Smalls into our life and let him tell us about the Motivation Minute.
Speaker C [00:49:54]:
The Motivation Minute.
Speaker K [00:49:57]:
Courtesy of jayscasemedical.com. Today's quote was submitted by Alyssa. James Baldwin said, the longer I live, the more deeply I learn that love, whether we call it friendship or family or romance, is the work of mirroring and magnifying each other's light. Very nice quote. I've seen this too. I know somebody who's very good at mirroring people. He's a great guy all the time, but when he's with somebody who speaks fast, I notice that he seems to speak faster. When he's with somebody who speaks more slowly, He slows down his speaking. He also talks about things that matter to the other people. When he speaks to me, we talk about radio or comedy or some event I'm working on. Everyone seems to like him, but I think they like the reflection of themselves shining back from him. He's not being phony. That's just who he really is. This has been the Motivation Minute. I'm John Small. Thanks for listening. Your favorite motivation Motivational quotes can be submitted for upcoming programs at motivationminute.org.

Let's continue talking about some other things that are going on inside of the multiverse, because this is kind of what we do around here. Let's talk about some things that happened back on this day. Back in 1881, the first U.S. Tennis Championship occurs in Newport Newport, Rhode Island. In 1895, the first pro football game. Quarterback John Baylor was paid $10 and won 12-0. In 1963, Walter Cronkite began his stint as the anchor of CBS Evening News. In 1987, Curtis Strange sets golf earning record for the year at $697,385. In 1997, Diana, Princess of Wales, dies in a car crash in Paris. And in 2009, the Walt Disney World Company announces it will acquire Marvel Entertainment for $4.24 million— or excuse me, billion dollars with a B. So there you go, a lot of stuff going on right there. Let's talk about some birthdays going on today. Van Morrison turns 81, Richard Gere turns 77, Glenn Tilbrook turns 69, Debbie Gibson turns 56, Chris Tucker turns 54, and Sarah Ramirez turns 51 today. So there you go, that's some celebrity birthdays going your way if you're interested. Let's talk about some things that you ought to know. President Trump reportedly will not attend this year's 25th anniversary ceremonies commemorating the September 11th terrorist attacks at Ground Zero in New York City. Trump has reportedly wanted to deliver remarks at the National September 11th Memorial Museum. His team had even made advance visits in preparation, but the memorial organizers have sought to keep the ceremony nonpartisan and politicians have not been allowed to speak at the event since 2012. Instead, President Trump is expected to mark the anniversary at the Pentagon for the second consecutive year. Vice President J.D. Vance will represent the administration at the New York ceremony, where former President Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, and George W. Bush are also expected to attend. So there you go.

And then just as a friendly reminder, if you did not remember Labor Day is one week from today. So there you go. You might need to be planning to take some of that time off if you don't have that on your schedule already. Anyways, that's it 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 you don't want to do that, that's perfectly fine. You can stay here with the likes of Sheldon Primus as he talks about the world of safety consulting. So there you go. If I can leave you with some words of wisdom for today, confidence is quiet. Insecurity usually has a microphone. Hold on, don't I sit in front of a microphone all the time? Oh shit. Okay, in some other news, here's some advice for today if you need that. Turn hangers backwards at the beginning of the year. Wearing something, um, hanging its normal way at the year's end, you'll know what clothes you never wear. So there you go, some stuff to think about as we are talking. Anyways, that's gonna sum it up all together for us. So there you go. I know who you are.
Speaker M [00:58:16]:
Duh.
