EP 1397 - Free From Friday 7-24-2026

The signal crackles, the firewall fries, and your last safe frequency just got hijacked. It’s Friday, July 24, 2026, and this isn’t your grandma’s tap-dance radio—this is chaos beaming straight from Safety FM studios in Orlando, punching through static and burning out bureaucracy with nothing but bare-wire truth. On this Freeform Friday, we’re bypassing the corporate grid, slicing through safety theater, and giving you every last raw byte the “compliance priests” hoped you missed. If you want sugarcoating or sanitized slogans, go back to following the Map. If you want a line straight into the guts of the Black Iron Prison’s weak spots, keep your comms locked right here.

This episode rides full-throttle on the tension between real signal and performative safety. We torch high-entropy garbage, throw the system’s rebranded lingo right back at its glass fortress, and make the case: the simulation never cared, and the listeners are the only force that cracks the broadcast. If the system can mutate, so can you.

Track Breakdown & Segment Notes

The Map is NOT the Territory: [Jay Allen] wires into the dangers of mistaking compliance for care and exposes how the system rebrands your rebellion, sells it back as innovation, and expects gratitude for the privilege. If the Map shoves you into a low-entropy safety culture and calls it change, it’s selling you a box with no air holes.

Signal Versus Noise: News and “learning teams” get the theater treatment. Slogans eat stories, zero harm devolves into optics, and every audit becomes another formatting session. The real signal gets squeezed and redirected, but never dies—unless you capitulate.

Black Iron Prison Status Report: From new American tariffs to war crime warnings and Google’s billion-dollar legal slap, the corporate and political overlords keep hacking reality for market dominance. The show asks—are you just watching or are you ready to break open a few more walls?

Feature Story News & Global Multiverse Feed

India’s Protest Signal Jams the Ministry: Thousands flood Delhi and every state, demanding the resignation of the education minister after leaked exams trigger tragedies.

Anyways, today is Friday, July the 24th of 2026, and we are brought Broadcasting from the Safety FM studios in Orlando, Florida, and coming across the multiverse known as Safety FM, and then hanging out with our friends and colleagues over there.

Speaker B [00:02:46]:
Freeform radio never sounded this great, or has it?

Jay Allen [00:02:52]:
Radio Big.

Speaker E [00:02:54]:
Yep.

Jay Allen [00:02:55]:
That's how it goes. That's how we move. That's how we groove. We get to do all kinds of fun stuff. As we are hanging out. So anyways, how's the last 24 hours or so been for you? Hopefully they've been grandioso, grandioso, um, in regards of everything that's going on. No, seriously, I'm not joking. So with that being said, let's talk about what we do. Our show normally consists of safety in the news, news and safety, but you got here on a special day, which is Friday. So what does that mean for you? Well, it kind of means kind of some of that weird stuff. Today is Freeform Friday. So what does that mean? We talk about everything that we did not get to catch up earlier in the week. Well, hopefully we try to get through the whole thing. Most of the times we don't get to everything that's inside of there because that's just kind of how it goes.

Speaker F [00:03:39]:
Duh.

Jay Allen [00:03:39]:
So with that being said, here's what's going to happen today. We're going to do catch up with everything. A lot of news stories coming your way, a lot of stuff to unpack that we didn't get to unpack earlier in the week. And then hopefully at some point you turn around and go, yep, this is working out. We can do this. We can continue forward. So with that being said, why don't we go ahead and do this? Because this is, I have to tell you, this is not a joke as I say this, this might be my favorite weekly section. Well, yeah, because I have to tell you, there's so much work that goes in behind the scene with this. So why don't we go ahead and do this before we get into it? Let me tell you, if you want to interact with the show, it's simple to do so. All you have to do is go to callinradio.com. Once you get there, audio, video, and text messaging are the options of the things that we get to do. And then we kind of go from there. That's it. That is the whole kit and caboodle of everything that's going on. So there you go. There you go. Did I, did I play this for you? Well, there you are. Guys, it's finally Friday.

Speaker B [00:04:45]:
Oh my gosh.

Speaker G [00:04:45]:
I'm super excited.

Jay Allen [00:04:46]:
I need a cup of coffee.

Speaker H [00:04:47]:
Today is Friday, Friday, Friday.

Speaker B [00:04:50]:
Yippee-ki-yay and all that stuff.

Speaker I [00:04:51]:
You listen and use your imagination to make the pictures. In your head.

Speaker J [00:04:56]:
I like what I'm hearing.

Jay Allen [00:04:57]:
I'm ready for the show. Okay, so with that being said, let's go ahead and do this. Let's go ahead and get into what we call the, um, the actual weekend review aspect of the whole thing. So let's do that right now. The severe and dangerous weather taking aim all across the South. Tropical Storm Bertha hitting the Gulf states right now, and thankfully not as strong as feared, but still packing a punch.

Speaker K [00:05:24]:
The arson attack outside a federal building in New York City This is from Monday. The suspect, identified as 43-year-old Andrew Arrebaca, allegedly seen igniting fireworks, setting off numerous flares. Some people in the distance take cover while 2 others seem to walk right by. Moments later, you see the suspect pull out a pellet gun rifle and shoot it down the block at pedestrians. Next, he is seen with what investigators say is a can of gasoline. This new video shows the large fire that set off.

Jay Allen [00:05:54]:
4 fallen U.S. soldiers arrived back on U.S. soil today after making the ultimate sacrifice. President Trump saluting at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware. All 4 killed in recent days, 3 in Jordan, 1 in Iraq, as attacks from both the U.S. and Iran continue.

Speaker D [00:06:09]:
The U.S. war in Iran.

Speaker I [00:06:11]:
Secretary Pete Hegseth revealing the war has now cost more than $37 billion.

Jay Allen [00:06:14]:
Uh, the famous New Orleans-raised saxophonist behind the Pink Panther theme has died. Plas Johnson died just 6 days before his birthday in California. He was 94 years old. The latest on that parasite sickening people in more than 30 states. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. made his first public appearance comments about it today, declaring the outbreak under control despite cases still rising and denying that cutbacks have hurt U.S. food safety. I want to congratulate Spain on defeating Argentina to win the tournament. Yeah, it was a great day for Spain's players, fans, and your annoying friend who studied abroad for one semester.

Speaker B [00:06:49]:
Cases of measles have skyrocketed to the biggest numbers in decades.

Jay Allen [00:06:54]:
At this point, the only thing multiplying faster than measles right now is Nick Cannon. Okay, so there you go. There's the week in review of everything that's going on that is For Shunzo. So what do you think? I'm telling you, there's so much stuff that happens during the week that when that clip gets put together, I'm always like, wow, I'm just amazed on the stuff that I didn't catch sometimes is really what it boils down to. So with that being said, why don't we go ahead and do this? Let's go ahead and get into some stuff from our friends from Feature Story News because they know, they know what's going on. At least I feel like they know what's going on. Half the time I have no clue what's happening until they start, uh, talking about everything. So with that being said, let's go ahead and get into the news right now.

Speaker C [00:07:43]:
Here is the news on the Rated R Safety Show.

Speaker H [00:07:46]:
From Feature Story News in London, I'm Stuart Smith. Protesters are gathering across India on Friday as the youth-led Cockroach Janter Party has called for demonstrations in every district. demanding the resignation of the education minister over an exam paper leak scandal. The Indian government has deployed 20 companies of Central Reserve Police to the capital, and Delhi Metro has shut at least 16 stations as crowds swell near the main protest site. Ishank Garg in New Delhi says that while a compromise venue for talks may be emerging, the government is widely reported to be unwilling to meet the protesters' central demand.

Speaker F [00:08:21]:
The Congress Janata Party, they are saying that their core demand, which is resignation of the education minister, that still stands. Apart from, of course, the other big demand, which is a payment of— compensation payment of $100,000, or about 10 million Indian rupees, to the so-called victims of the paper leaks, in which more than a dozen students killed themselves after the papers had leaked. So their key demands still remain.

Speaker H [00:08:47]:
New American tariffs of up to 12.5% on 60 of the country's trading partners have taken effect. covering virtually all goods imported into the United States. The duties replace a global 10% tariff that expired on Friday after reaching its statutory limit, and are designed to stand on firmer legal ground after the Supreme Court struck down the earlier tariff regime in February. The administration claims that the new levies target countries that have failed to prevent goods made with forced labor from entering global trade. Kate Fischer reports from Washington.

Speaker L [00:09:21]:
I'm sure they will be challenged, but this is a slightly stronger legal basis than the way Donald Trump previously tried to introduce tariffs that the Trump administration relied on previously. I think the fact that these tariffs are essentially replacing almost like-for-like for most countries, then the immediate economic impact is going to be smaller because businesses have already adjusted supply chains and pricing and inventory around that kind of baseline tariff.

Speaker H [00:09:51]:
The European Commission has fined Google around $1 billion for 2 breaches of the Digital Markets Act, the first penalties ever imposed on the tech giant under EU competition law. The Commission found Google had unfairly promoted its own services in search results and had prevented app developers from directing customers to cheaper alternatives outside the Google Play Store. Google has pushed back, with Alphabet's president of global affairs saying the ruling continues to break everyday products. And Washington is also concerned. Will Denslow reports.

Speaker M [00:10:23]:
We know that the Trump administration has long railed against European regulators, so the message is clear from the Commission. They say that anyone can do business here in Europe. They're not seeking to put up barriers, but the takeaway for the Commission is that anyone, wherever you may be located, have to play by the rules.

Speaker N [00:10:42]:
With FSN Spotlight, I'm Simon Marks. With President Donald Trump threatening to attack Iran's bridges and power plants— civilian targets, the destruction of which could be construed as war crimes— and Iran launching attacks on desalination plants in neighboring countries— also possible war crimes. There are growing fears that the conflict could spiral. When it started back in March, a group of international lawyers and professors wrote a collective letter warning of the risk of war crimes. Now one of them, Professor Tom Dannenbaum at Stanford University, is sounding the alarm again.

Speaker O [00:11:17]:
We're certainly in a moment where the language of international law is being disparaged and where it's being ignored by some of the most powerful actors in the system. In response to that, I don't think that the correct reaction is to capitulate and say, what use is invoking law in response here? I think law is the most powerful focal point around which to mobilize collectively in response to these kinds of acts, to say these are the red lines to which we've all agreed And these violations render the conduct of the party to the conflict that's engaged in them illegitimate and demand a collective response.

Speaker N [00:11:57]:
And of course, there are already claims that war crimes may have been committed, as the Pentagon says it is still investigating an attack on a girls' school that killed 168 people, mostly children, at the very start of the conflict. With FSN Spotlight, I'm Simon Marks.

Speaker H [00:12:13]:
To recap the top stories: Protesters are gathering across India demanding the resignation of the education minister over an exam paper leak. Metro stations have been closed and thousands of extra police deployed in the capital, New Delhi. Over 20,000 visitors and residents have been evacuated from a nature reserve in southwestern France as hundreds of firefighters try to bring a wildfire under control. And Washington has imposed new tariffs on over 60 trade partners as the price of oil passes $100 for the first time since May. That's the latest Feature Story News, Stuart Smith reporting. Thanks, Stuart.

Speaker C [00:12:48]:
Listen to our host of the Rated R Safety Show self-implode on our airwaves, only on Safety FM. 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 harm 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 B [00:14:08]:
Let's start using cutting-edge warp speed 5G technology with your cell phone. Let me tell you about my friends at MobileMobile.io. They have an ultra-fast 4G LTE and 5G network that covers 99% of Americans, so they've got you covered everywhere. Think about it for a moment. You have the opportunity to take a test drive for 10 days with unlimited talk, text, and premium data. What is premium data? Premium data is an allotment of cellular data that you receive from a higher priority on the network. You won't get throttled like you will with some of those, well, non-premium service providers. To find out more information, all you have to do is go to mobilmobile.io. That's mobilmobile.io to start your 10-day Hello.

Speaker P [00:15:11]:
Is your safety training old, stale, and hacked? Is your safety trainer still preaching a warped version of behavior-based safety? How about safety training that actually addresses your hazards in your workplaces and is not standardized baloney from 25 years ago? Contact the Safety Words team at safetywords.com. Or call Jim Poesl at 845-269-5772. Remember, if you're receiving this message, you are the solution to unsafe workplaces.

Jay Allen [00:15:41]:
It's a show and they just make fun of a whole bunch of people. It's just too funny.

Speaker G [00:15:51]:
It's too stupid.

Speaker C [00:15:51]:
Rated R safety show.

Jay Allen [00:15:56]:
Okay, there you go. We are hanging out here on this lovely Lovely Freeform Friday, no doubt about that, of everything that's going on inside of the world of the multiverse. So if you're good with that, let's start rolling right away about some of the things that are going on inside of the multiverse of things. So let's, let's get into some of these things because there is a lot of stuff that happened. Let's I guess let's kind of go through what has occurred with some of the news stories that I saw yesterday. And then we'll kind of go into some of the backfiller stuff that we didn't get to really talk about. So new details have been released about, uh, the first ransom note sent to family of NBC's Today Show co-anchor Savannah Guthrie after her mother, Nancy Guthrie, was abducted from the Tucson, Arizona home in February. The note claimed that Nancy was alive and being held for ransom, demanded millions of dollars in Bitcoin, and warned that if payment wasn't made in a specific deadline, that she would be killed. It was also told to the family that Nancy's life is in your hands and insisted that there would be no negotiation or help from law enforcement. According to the local Arizona Journalist, uh, the note included details about the crime scene that had not been made public, information that initially led investigators to believe that it had come from someone involved in the kidnapping. Despite months of investigation by the FBI, the local authorities, no suspects have been identified. No arrests have been made, and the case remains unsolved. So what do you think here? I mean, February, and now we're in July. I know we're talking about it still, but I for sure, uh, when this came up, I am— I'm pretty sure that I thought that this would be one of these things that within the first 48 hours, uh, something would be done. It does not look like that will be the case, but man, it has been a very interesting thing. Um, overall in regards to seeing this. So it's terrible. I mean, it's terrible in regards of, uh, the stuff that has happened there, no doubt. So with that being said, I don't know what will be the next steps, especially with it being 5 months in. So I don't know, kind of gets weird as we are talking. So let's continue, uh, going through some of the stuff that is happening. And you know, sometimes we talk about sports stuff, but I like to talk about sports stuff when it gets weird, and this will definitely fall into that category. Jake Paul says that That he's serious about, uh, trying to play in the NFL once his boxing career is over, and he believes that making the league would be quite easy. Paul says that he wants to play, uh, a slot receiver and has even considered first, uh, walking onto Stanford football team to gain experience before pursuing the NFL. In a new interview, Paul claimed that he has better hands and is faster, stronger, and works harder than many NFL players, adding that there's a lot of, uh, super mediocrity in the league. He also says that he's already spoken with a couple of NFL teams and coaches who have expressed interest. If it gets— if he gets the chance, Paul said his dream destination would be his hometown of Cleveland Browns. For now though, he's focused on recovering from the jaw injury and hopes to return to boxing ring later this year. Take a listen.

Speaker E [00:19:15]:
I, I do have NFL aspirations, uh, after boxing. I want to play slot receiver, and so I think to, you know, get that experience in college first would be good so I could walk onto the Stanford team.

Speaker F [00:19:31]:
It—

Speaker E [00:19:31]:
yeah, I'm being serious though. Yeah.

Jay Allen [00:19:34]:
Well, this might be the first, uh, podcast you mention it, so—

Speaker E [00:19:38]:
It is, and it happened— the idea of it happened today because I was like, well, I was originally thinking I'll just go straight to the Cleveland Browns or Dallas Cowboys, but they're probably going to want to see me play first. And so it might be better if I start off in college and have a little bit of an advantage over the younger, not as big kids before going into the NFL.

Jay Allen [00:20:02]:
Okay, so hold on real quick. I just want to make sure I understand this. So you decided today that you were going to go into the NFL. And listen, I'm not saying that it's not, it's not something you can do. But you decided today before this podcast that that was something you were wanting to do. And it's going to be very valuable. And you decided that this is going to be the position and you haven't tried anything. And you already have a couple of teams that are interested, but you've already, you only talked about it today.

Speaker C [00:20:33]:
Okay.

Speaker P [00:20:33]:
Yeah.

Speaker H [00:20:33]:
More sarcasm than a Mortal Kombat beatdown.

Jay Allen [00:20:37]:
Rated R safety show. Okay.

Speaker B [00:20:39]:
So there you go.

Jay Allen [00:20:40]:
A lot of stuff going on. Inside of the world of the multiverse, as always. Vance Boelter, uh, has been sentenced to 2 consecutive life plus 40 years in federal prison for the 2025 shooting that killed Minnesota Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark, seriously wounded, uh, State Senator John Hoffman and his wife Yvette. The sentence was part of a plea agreement in which Boelter pleaded guilty and had prosecutors agree Not to seek the death penalty. Authorities said the boulder disguised himself as a police officer before carrying out the attack, which also included attempted shooting of Hoffman's adult daughter. During the sentencing, uh, Vance apologized to the victims and their families, while John and Yvette Hoffman gave emotional statements describing the attack and its lasting impact. Vance still faces state murder charges, and the Hoffman family has also filed a civil lawsuit against him. The shooting sparked renewed concern about political violence and it led to an increase, uh, measures—

Speaker B [00:21:44]:
yes, measures—

Jay Allen [00:21:46]:
where officials, uh, in Minnesota and other states. So some stuff to think about as we are talking. So I do not know, it definitely will get interesting as we are moving forward. Okay, take a listen to this real quick, because, you know, why would we not talk about this? A Secret Service agent assigned to Vice President J.D. Vance's protective detail has reportedly been placed on administrative leave after allegedly leaking information about Vance's travel schedule and security operations to the media. The report included details about Vice President's family travel plans and the Secret Service code name used for Vance, uh, in the complaints from agents about the frequent last-minute schedule changes. White House and Secret Service officials— officials, listen to me— officials viewed the leak as a serious security breach and launched an internal investigation. And the agent identified has not been released, and unclear whether the case will result in disciplinary action or criminal charges. The investigation comes as Trump administration continues its crackdown on unauthorized leaks to the press. What do you think here? I mean, regardless of political situation, that's pretty serious. I mean, it's not one of those things like, oops, I did it by mistake.

Speaker E [00:23:06]:
Duh.

Jay Allen [00:23:06]:
So I mean, it's one of those things that you have to have the discussion go like, uh, What exactly were you thinking? Like, what are you thinking in regards to doing this? Because that makes absolutely no sense. What kind of are you? I mean, I just need to understand, like, how in the fuck do you go out there and say this stuff? I'm just saying. So there you go. Some info to share.

Speaker B [00:23:30]:
Okay.

Jay Allen [00:23:30]:
So let's take a listen to this one real quick. Travis Kelce's fans are buzzing after the Hall of Fame wide receiver Chris Carter appeared to hint about that the upcoming NFL 2024 draft. Oh, okay. Season could be Kelce's last. Carter posted a photo of himself training with Kelce and wrote, know the GOAT is preparing for the last dance. The next stop, Canton Hall of Fame. Leading many to believe that he accidentally revealed Kelce's retirement plans, the post didn't sit well with fans who argue that Kelce should be the one to announce when he's ready to retire. Some accused Carter of stealing the moment. Especially since Kelce has previously said that he doesn't want a farewell tour or extra attention during the season. Kelce hasn't confirmed the retirement plans after speculation earlier this year. He signed a 1-year deal to return to Kansas City Chiefs in March. So there you go. What do you think? Like, is it important? Is it not important? I mean, if they're already revealing, if they're already revealing Quote unquote, that you've only signed for a year. I mean, are you really telling some kind of trade secret there? So maybe it's his last year with Kansas City. Who knows if he's going to continue playing? I mean, I think that right now, and I'm not picking here, between what he's accomplished in the NFL, what kind of currency he's obtained, and The amount of fortune that his wife has, which I would imagine they share to some extent now, I think he's going to be okay. I mean, if the guy wants to work and play one more year, cool. If he doesn't want to do that, wants to do something entirely different, good for him. It's not that crazy of an idea. I'm just saying. So anyways, with that being said, let's continue talking. Federal prosecutors have dropped their effort to subpoena The New York Times reporter over the stories about President Trump's new Air Force One. The subpoena sought reports of testimonies along with their phone and text records as part of investigation into reporting about security concerns involving Qatar-provided presidential aircraft. During a hearing in a federal court, the U.S. district judge sharply criticized the Justice Department for handling the case, calling the approach to press freedom protection sloppy And saying that he likely would have thrown the subpoenas if prosecutors— or thrown out the subpoenas if prosecutors had withdrawn them first. He also suggested that the government's actions were, or are not, or the government actions are not something that he would, uh, continue, uh, discussing at that particular point. It was serious enough that the sanction might have been considered a civil case. The New York Times argued the subpoenas threatened press freedom and discouraging reporting on government operations and spending. The judge emphasized that subpoenas targeting journalists should be used only as a last resort after every other avenue obtaining information had been exhausted. So what do you think here? No, seriously, what is your thought? I mean, it's— we're in that weird time, and let's just not lie here, we're in that weird time right now That it goes, okay, are we going to move forward? Are we not going to move forward? It's kind of a weird one. It's just one of those really, really weird things to discuss. So there you go. Okay, I'm gonna tell you 2 that we would normally not report until we get into the other show, but I think that it's kind of important to, uh, discuss. So if you're good with this, let's go ahead and talk about it, uh, for just a brief moment.

Speaker B [00:27:16]:
Okay.

Jay Allen [00:27:16]:
If you do not mind, take a listen to this because one of Apple's staple shows is going bye-bye. Apple has announced that The Morning Show will wrap up with its upcoming 5th season, bringing one of the streaming service's original flagship series to a close. Starring Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon, the newsroom drama debuted back in 2019 alongside with the launch of Apple TV+ and has become the platform's signature show. Season 5 is currently in production and will feature stars like Jennifer Anderson, Reese Witherspoon, Billy Cryop, Jon Hamm, and Mark Duplass, along with newcomers Jeff Daniels, Jesse Williams, Sean Hayes, just to name a few. Apple says the creative team knew that it would be the final chapter, allowing them to craft a planned ending for the characters. While the official premiere date hasn't been announced, the final season is expected to debut in 2027. So that's it. I mean, I don't know if you've ever watched the show. I don't think it's a bad show. And it kind of mirrored some of the stuff that was going on, uh, down in good old NBC land. It's at some point, at least the beginning, like the first season of the show, uh, based on— well, let me rephrase it. Allegedly, it kind of resembled some of the stuff that was going on at NBC at the time. So I don't know. It'll be interesting to see how they handle this going forward because that's going to be the curiosity part. How are people going to adapt? Now, what show will become the flagship show over there at Apple? I mean, there's so many good shows that Apple has produced. That's going to be the interesting part. I mean, some people love Ted Lasso, like say that it's the greatest show that they've ever seen. Now, I'm personally not a fan, but that's me. That show is not for me, and that's perfectly fine. I'm not picking here. I'm just saying in general, that show is not for me. And Severance is another show that a lot of people seem to love in regards of coming off of Apple land over there. So there you go. Some things to think about depending on how you want to lay out the land there. No doubt about that. So with that being said, let's continue talking about some other things. So take a listen to this. As Japan deals with another Brutally hot summer, a company has introduced what's being called the human refrigerator. The Doe-Hicksman box is about the size of a vending machine and allows one person at a time to step inside for a quick cooldown. Kept at 59 degrees, the unit blasts cold air into the user's head, neck, shoulders, and back to help lower their temperature and reduce the risk of exhaustion. The device is aimed primarily for outdoor workers, including construction crews, but one of the units has already been installed in a city hall where the public can use it for free, where temperatures With temperatures approaching 100 degrees and the heat-related illnesses on the rise, the company hopes cooling both can offer a fast relief. And the human refrigerator sells— are you ready for this? I hope you're sitting— $9,300. $9,300.

Speaker C [00:30:28]:
Yeah.

Jay Allen [00:30:30]:
Talk about, uh, talk about, uh, getting a little bit crazy there in regards to this. So there you go. Let's talk about this real quick coming out of Ontario. A routine trip to the mechanic turned out to an unexpected animal rescue in Ontario when a large python was discovered trapped inside of the engine compartment of a resident's car. Animal Services officers responded to the call and everyone was surprised. The snake calmly, uh, slithered onto the, uh, officer's arm, allowing it for a safe and easy rescue. The python was taken to an animal shelter where the staff found it was dehydrated and had a few minor scratches. Glad that that was the only thing that that thing had, especially being stuck in an engine. The snake is now recovering while, um, officials, uh, work to determine where it came from to ensure that it receives proper care. What does that have to do with one thing has to do with the other? I'm just wondering. Okay, take a listen to this one because, you know, this— the world of the weird doesn't ever stop. A New York City, uh, woman Says that she, uh, thought that she had scored the ultimate sidewalk find, but it turns out that a trip to jail. Jocelyn Ullman was arrested after taking several handmade vintage rugs worth about $4,300 outside of a Brooklyn shop. Ullman says that she's an avid stopper, whatever that means, someone who rescues discarded items left on the curb, and believed that the dirty rugs, uh, some rolled up on the sidewalk and others draped over a railing, had been thrown away. A week later, after seeing Seeing the news reports identifying her, Allman contacted an attorney, recovered the rugs from a client, and voluntarily turned them over to the police. Despite returning the rugs, she says that she was handcuffed, fingerprinted, photographed, and spent 7 hours in custody before being released. Prosecutors later dropped the grand larceny charge and cleared her record. The shop owner said that she never wanted Allman arrested and had only filed the police report in hopes of getting the rugs back after placing them outside for Um, dry for dry following a flood inside of the store. That's where it gets weird to me. Like, have you ever went down a neighborhood and you kind of see where people put stuff outside? And I don't know if they're considering a trash day or if it's going to be like a pickup thing, and then randos will just, uh, come up and take the stuff. I have a neighbor that was outside, um, that was painting a chair and was letting it sit to dry, and somebody came up trying to take it as it was drying. As the chair was drying in their yard because somebody thought that it was just a, a grab. It's weird times. I don't ever get it, but I guess those things happen. Anyways, with that being said, we are 33 minutes past the top of the hour. It is Freeform Friday, so we— you know, you get a lot of news from me today. In regards to the stuff that's going on. So with that being said, why don't we go ahead and do this? Why don't we bring in our friends from Feature Story News una vez más, um, to go ahead and tell you what exactly is going on with the news stories?

Speaker C [00:33:43]:
Here is the news on the Radio R Safety Show.

Speaker H [00:33:48]:
From Feature Story News in London, I'm Stuart Smith. Protesters are gathering across India on Friday as the youth-led Cockroach Janata Party has called for demonstrations in every district. demanding the resignation of the education minister over an exam paper leak scandal. The Indian government has deployed 20 companies of Central Reserve Police to the capital, and Delhi Metro has shut at least 16 stations as crowds swell near the main protest site. Ishan Garg in New Delhi says that while a compromise venue for talks may be emerging, the government is widely reported to be unwilling to meet the protesters' central demand.

Speaker F [00:34:21]:
The Congress Janata Party, they are saying that their core demand, which is resignation of the education minister, that still Apart from, of course, the other big demand, which is a payment of— compensation payment of $100,000, or about 10 million Indian rupees, to the so-called victims of the paper leaks, in which more than a dozen students killed themselves after the papers had leaked. So their key demands still remain.

Speaker H [00:34:48]:
New American tariffs of up to 12.5% on 60 of the country's trading partners have taken effect. covering virtually all goods imported into the United States. The duties replace a global 10% tariff that expired on Friday after reaching its statutory limit and are designed to stand on firmer legal ground after the Supreme Court struck down the earlier tariff regime in February. The administration claims the new levies target countries that have failed to prevent goods made with forced labor from entering global trade. Kate Fisher reports from Washington.

Speaker L [00:35:22]:
I'm sure they will be challenged, but this is a slightly stronger legal basis than the way Donald Trump previously tried to introduce tariffs that the Trump administration relied on previously. I think the fact that these tariffs are essentially replacing almost like-for-like for most countries, then the immediate economic impact is going to be smaller because business have all— businesses have already adjusted supply chains and pricing and inventory around that kind of baseline tariff.

Speaker H [00:35:52]:
The European Commission has fined Google around $1 billion for 2 breaches of the Digital Markets Act, the first penalties ever imposed on the tech giant under EU competition law. The Commission found Google had unfairly promoted its own services in search results and had prevented app developers from directing customers to cheaper alternatives outside the Google Play Store. Google has pushed back, with Alphabet's president of global affairs saying the ruling continues to break everyday products. And Washington is also concerned Will Denslow reports from Brussels.

Speaker M [00:36:24]:
We know that the Trump administration has long railed against European regulators, so the message is clear from the Commission. They say that anyone can do business here in Europe. They're not seeking to put up barriers, but the takeaway for the Commission is that anyone, wherever you may be located, have to play by the rules.

Speaker N [00:36:43]:
With FSN Spotlight, I'm Simon Marks. With President Donald Trump threatening to attack Iran's bridges and power plants— civilian targets, the destruction of which could be construed as war crimes— crimes, and Iran launching attacks on desalination plants in neighboring countries— also possible war crimes— there are growing fears that the conflict could spiral. When it started back in March, a group of international lawyers and professors wrote a collective letter warning of the risk of war crimes. Now one of them, Professor Tom Dannenbaum at Stanford University, is sounding the alarm again.

Speaker O [00:37:18]:
We're certainly in a moment where the language of international law is being disparaged and where it's being ignored by some of the most powerful actors in the system. In response to that, I don't think that the correct reaction is to capitulate and say, what use is invoking law in response here? I think law is the most powerful focal point around which to mobilize collectively in response to these kinds of acts, to say these are the red lines to which we've all agreed, and these violations render the conduct of the party to the conflict that's engaged in them illegitimate and demand a collective response.

Speaker N [00:37:58]:
And of course, there are already claims that war crimes may have been committed, as the Pentagon says it is still investigating an attack on a girls' school that killed 168 people, mostly children, at the very start of the conflict. With FSN Spotlight, I'm Simon Marks.

Speaker H [00:38:14]:
To recap the top stories: Protesters are gathering across India demanding the resignation of the education minister over exam paper leak. Metro stations have been closed and thousands of extra police deployed in the capital, New Delhi. Over 20,000 visitors and residents have been evacuated from a nature reserve in southwestern France as hundreds of firefighters try to bring a wildfire under control. And Washington has imposed new tariffs on over 60 trade partners as the price of oil passes $100 for the first time since May. That's the latest feature story news. Stuart Smith reporting.

Allen, PhD. And this time, it's not about waking up. It's about what you do once you're awake. The system didn't break. It just stopped pretending to hold you. And now it's blinking.

Jay Allen [00:47:47]:
With that being said, let's continue talking about some other things that are going on inside of the multiverse. And I'm going to tell you, uh, should I say this right now or not? I think that we should do this a little bit differently because it's one of those things that I know that we normally do what happened in today in history a little bit later, but I want you to hear this. This is from, uh, 12:51 Eastern Daylight Time on July 24th, 1969.

Speaker B [00:48:17]:
Okay.

Jay Allen [00:48:18]:
Apollo 11, the U.S. spacecraft, had taken its first astronaut to the surface of the moon and safely returns to Earth. Take a listen to what happens when it splashes down. You can pick up some of that transmission from the helicopter hovering overhead and the Hornet and a little bit from the spacecraft. In case you missed it, the spacecraft splashed down 9 miles from the carrier, uh, and the carrier is now steaming toward it. So just think about that for a moment. 1969, we're taking, we're taking a look at this. You go from space to crashing into the water. What a difference that can be in regards to some of the stuff when you get to really think about it for a Crazy times, that's for sure. You're locked into the radio show that has no filter, especially on Fridays. I kind of feel like we have no filter regardless of the day of the week that it is, but we'll leave that for a different show. Okay, so with that being said, let's go ahead and do this because there's some stuff going on inside of the world. Uh, so with that being said, Motivation Minute time. I do have John Smalls waiting to tell you about what the hell is going on, so let's go ahead and get into the Motivation Minute right now.

Speaker I [00:49:42]:
Courtesy of JaceCaseMedical.com. Today's quote was submitted by Philip. John D. Rockefeller said, don't be afraid to give up the good to go for the great. This is a great quote. It reminds me of a book that I read about 20 years ago. The book is called Good to Great by Jim Collins. He originally did a different book called Built to Last about giant companies like IBM, but then people were saying, hey, Dude, what about us? We were not built like that. Can you give us tips on how to take what we have and make it better? So he accepted the challenge and he wrote an amazing book that guides you through the stories of companies that were doing okay, but then they made some sort of changes to go from good to great. If you need a nudge to get there, I encourage you to read the book Good to Great. I'm gonna put a link to that book at motivationminute.org.
