The next Steffan Good Day download with Doug and Jay Kirshner is made possible in
part by Keltren, which is the safe way for you to lose weight and
keep it off. Doug is out. It is Ladies' Day. I'm Jay
Kirshner. She's Jennifer Horn, the Queen of news talking all things information.
I mean, you are my go to whimember I have a question about anything.
I try to be the go to, but without being a know it
all. I don't want to do that because I don't know anything. I
think it's the delivery that is the difference between a know it all and not.
You are so eloquent and well spoken and informative without being like haha,
Nina nin or Nina or I know, thanks, and you're stupid because we
all know those people, we do, and we don't like those people at
dinner parties. We were talking on my morning show that I hosted LA the
other day about the people you avoid at dinner parties, and a lot of
those people are the know it alls. Let me tell you about so or
the toppers. You know the toppers too, right? Oh yes, oh
you've been sick? Oh oh yeah, I just had brain surgery and you're
like, oh man an snl skit of like, oh, you had surgery,
so did I on my brain and on my brains, I have a
whole new stomach, like I like that. Well, okay, speaking of
body parts, I know this is probably super gruesome content. Warning, this
is going to get graphic, but I have been wanting to talk to you
about this since I read this story the other day. A man in California
happened upon a train incident where somebody lost their life and took the leg and
started gnawing on it, eating it. Yeah, it was so disgusting.
It was last Friday, and they finally actually caught the guy, twenty seven
year old guy. They made an arrest, but there was an accident Amtrak
train versus pedestrian. The pedestrian never wins those when that happens. And this
was a woman who ended up died and she was amputated by the train.
She lost her leg and here comes this guy out of nowhere, and people
were out there on the platform watching this go on, and they described that
this man, who they assumed was homeless, ran up to the scene grabbed
the woman's leg, which was completely severed and took off and started running with
it. And so the guy that was witnessing this was like, what in
the heck did I just see what? And so people were like following where
he went, and as soon as he got by a wall, he started
gnawing on it and beating it against the wall. For whatever reason. Was
he like actively trying like eating and or was he just chewing chewing on it?
Gnawing on it for sure, but still, gosh, still so much
no so this guy. So after this happens, they called the police.
The police come out, they're already out there investigating the accident, and they
were able to make an arrest. The guy had drug paraphernalia on him.
Obviously that was going to be my question. Was this a mental illness situation
or was this a drug related thing? Probably a little bit of both,
I would imagine. And it just made me think back to Flora And it's
probably been a lot longer ago than I think, But remember the guy in
Florida who was all high on bath salts. That's what I was thinking of
when I saw them, that exact story. Yes, I don't I mean,
I don't know if you're that hungry if you're that crazy, if you're
that whacked out on drugs, Like what gets into somebody's mind? It's disgusting.
Well that's what the whole in Florida, the Bath Salts situation. I
remember when that was happening, and there were certain call them rumors or call
them people like making up stories and joking on social media, but it was
all like, oh, the zombie apocalypse is closer than you think. It's
actually here, Like, yeah, the dude on bath Salts had this extravagant
level of strength or something. And wasn't he going after the police officers that
were trying to subdue him? I think so too. I think he was
like trying to just not be interrupted with his buffet. I mean, yeah,
ross, Oh my goodness. I just don't know what gets into people.
I mean, how crazy do you have to be to make that something
that's okay? And then how do you ever shake it? Like what if
one day down the road, you're rehabilitated and then all of a sudden,
you're like somebody just doesn't Google search and sees you're the guy who stole someone's
leg I mean, this guy's life and what like they didn't even remember it.
How some people they like almost black out during episodes, Just like what
if you don't even remember that? And that's not that's not who you are
typically or as a person. And again the the question of drugs versus mental
illness or a combination thereof. But whenever I think of Cannibal's, I obviously
think of Hannibal Lecter and like, like they're cookie kids and they're making them.
It would say fava, fava beans and liver and yes, a nice
canti. That is so welcome to California where we just let everything gets so
wild that like, oh yeah, somebody ate a leg. It's perfect.
This was Central California too. There's not a lot that goes on up there.
It was like in Kern County, which is like Bakersfield. You probably
hear about that, but it was a maker sild. You drive through to
Vegas, right, I feel like I've gone through because I lived in LA
for three years. You went through Baker, and you went through Baker.
Okay, not Bagsfield, different but close, Okay, kind of the same
vibe. Bakersfield's bigger, Baker's very small, but I imagine wasco to be
a lot like that. Baker for those of you haven't been through. It's
like a one horse town. There's like some fast food restaurants, there's some
gas stations, there's fun Boy, the world's largest thermometer, and that's it
interesting. That's where you buy lottery tickets though, okay, yeah, and
then you can win because that's where what the recent winner for was it Maga
millions hardball, I know, Mega millions. That's very depressed. That was
my retirement plan. Yeah, and someone for me Jersey, I know,
I know, I I hip don't if I shared with you, if I
talked to you about it earlier in the week. But I decided, you
know, mega millions, big big fever, you know, powerball. So
I'm like, okay, I never buy it. So I bought megamillions about
powerball, and then the news came out that a million dollar winning ticket for
megamillions was sold in the San Fernando Valley and I was like, oh my
god, this is it. This has to huh. Yeah, it was
not me. It wasn't even the same seven to eleven, so you know,
wham over me all the way around. I always wonder how people when
they lose their ticket or the there was wait, wasn't there a huge jackpot
recently that went unclaimed and it actually lapsed? Yeah, and I think somebody
found the ticket, like right right after the expiration of the jackpot. That
would I mean, that would make me have to jump off of well,
especially because they say the exact location that the winning ticket was sold, so
you know that if you were buying, were in that location. It's national
news. Yep. Like I understand not realizing if you won a certain amount,
but like you know, and I've won on a lottery ticket before,
but it was enough to buy another lottery ticket right that me too. In
fact, I just did win another Mega million's ticket this time around, so
not the jackpot, but I won the two dollars ticket back. Maybe better
to play when the jackpot's not high, that's probably, of course, right,
So we also have to talk about this. It's not new news,
but we have not had this conversation together yet. RFK Junior, he picked
the running mate. He picked the running mate that you said he was more
likely to pick, Nicole Shanahan. Is this a good move for him or
is this a bad move? Because a lot of the stuff that's going around,
including with his family saying it is that this is going to the only
thing this is going to do is cause a huge divide with Democrats. Now
he's basically just splitting that where republic like Trump will get all the rest.
Yeah, so you know, I'm a Trump supporter. I talk about it
on the show. So I think this was a great choice from the aspect
of being for it. But I also like to look at these things like
if I were making the decision myself, and so what did we know from
from Kennedy? We knew that he had this short list of people. A
lot of them were like celebrities and football players, and the only one that
I thought was going to be a good match for him was Telsea Gabbert,
who's the former congresswoman from Hawaii, because she'd bring some seriousness to him.
Because Robert F. Kennedy Junior gets labeled as someone who is not serious,
who's wacky, he's out there. This is what the mainstream media says about
him. This isn't what I say about right right yet what people say about
him, and so I think that a lot of times he gets labeled is
not serious. And so by putting out names like Aaron Rodgers, I thought,
well, this doesn't really help him get more serious right about this,
But from his perspective, Nicole Shanahan is extremely, extremely wealthy, and she
donated the money that he used to buy that Super Bowl ad, So she
put up the four million that retro looking one. I really enjoyed that.
Yeah, it was a great ad, and it was smart for him because
a lot of people didn't even know he was running at that point, so
I think it was smart. But she has a lot of money, and
he's going to need a lot of money because he's getting opposition. And I
don't agree with this, not that I'm going to vote for Kennedy, but
I I think he deserves to be on the ballot, and in a lot
of states he's being fought in that respect, and so he's going to need
money to build infrastructure so that he can get on the ballot in these states
moving into November. So I think from a financial perspective, he probably went
with her because of that. But the negatives is that she is an extreme
leftist, I mean extreme George Gascon in Los Angeles, who's our nightmare da.
She was one of the top donors to him, hundreds of thousands of
dollars. I think that climate change and the environment should be a priority,
but I don't think it is the top issue right now. That is her
only issue is that, And when you match it with him in that respect,
it makes you wonder where their priorities are going to be if they do
get elected. So I think the place that damages most I think independent voters.
This may not excite them because I think the independent people tend to be
sort of moderate and not really far on the left. But I do think
they are essentially too in a way. He's you know, was a former
Democrat. It comes from a famous Democratic family. She has spent a lot
of money on Democrat Democratic campaigns, and I think he's moderate on some issues,
but I think that she really is so far to the left that if
people kind of educate themselves, they might be like, well, this might
actually damage his credibility with these independents. But where I think he will pick
up some support, and it's in a small it's small, but like for
instance, in the state of Michigan, there are one hundred thousand voters who
are unaffiliated did not vote for Biden. They are Democrats, and they don't
like where he is with Israel. I believe that this is an opportunity for
Kennedy to pick up those far left Democrats, which then splits Biden votes and
Biden's vote. So I do think in a way this was a gift to
Trump that he picked Nicole Shanahan because I think that he will with her strip
away more votes from Biden than he will from Trump. Now, with someone
like Telsea Gabbert, that would have been a frightening ticket for me as a
Trump supporter, because I think with Tulsea Gabbert you would have had a sense
of being to the right of moderate, and it may have brought in those
independents and those Republican voters who don't like Trump. Is there a way that
you see Kennedy on the big stage during the debates rather than only being Trump
first Biden. I don't think they're away, actually, but I don't think
there's going to be a debate at all. I don't think that Biden will
debate. I think Biden is not going to want to. I don't think
he's functional. I don't think he's ready. I just I don't see it
happening. And if there is a debate, it'll probably be one, and
I would hope that he's included. You know, I think that if he's
at a perspective of maybe pulling over ten percent, I think they should absolutely
include those folks. And right now he's at about eleven or twelve percent,
And I'd love to see it. And if Biden doesn't do it, maybe
Trump and Kennedy should debate with each other. Yeah, I think it would
be a punishment almost for Biden for not showing up, because he would obviously
be the target of most of their fire. I would think if the two
of them were debating on the stage, We're going to talk about celebrity gossip
right now, because why not. Let's do it because it's always fun,
even though I think maybe some of these stories weren't so fun at the time.
This is a straight up cringey story, let's be honest. Halle Berry
is detailing the very bizarre way she learned that she's going through perimenopause. For
anyone who does not know about perimenopause, that is the time of a woman's
life that comes right before menopause, before the fun time. Yeah, this
is like the appetizer to the main force. So halle Berry has no shame
in talking about this. And she was recently doing a conversation with the first
Lady about menopause and women's health, and she found out that she was going
through paramenopause because she was having this issue, a painful issue when she was
being intimate with her lever and and it just straight up hurt. And so
she went to the doctor and the doctor's like, you have the worst case
of herpes I've ever seen. That's so embarrassing. So she's like yeah,
but she was like what, you're mortified. Yeah, So she she goes
to her her boo and is like, dude, what's up? Is there
something you need to tell me? They both get tested. I mean like,
if you're not cheating, but all of a sudden you have an STD,
you would automatically think that your significant other ho right exactly. So,
uh, there was a conversation there. They both get tested, it comes
back negative, and then that's when she learns that it is paramenopause. It
was not herpies that it was presenting like that. Yeahs terrible that the doctor
just and that the doctor didn't even know Wow, yeah sure about this because
she she even heard thought that, like she really had no idea about paramenopause,
but she thought that she would skip over menopause altogether, which some people
do. Some people go through menopause and it's not until they're done, and
they're like the doctor's like, oh, so you're like you've already gone through
menopause. You're good, yeah, clocked out. Yeah, And she's like,
I'm very healthy. I take care of myself. She has. I
mean, she's famous for having diabetes and being able to go off her insulin
because she just changed her health up so much so she even said her ego
had her belief that she wasn't going to experience menopause. It would just nature
gives you a little spouse. And here she's experiencing paramount menopause, to which
I guess not everybody does experience it even or you don't realize you're experiencing it,
right, So she's sharing her story because she's like, everyone needs to
know about this. If you are experiencing the US these symptoms, it might
be this women's Like reproductive health in general is pretty like people don't talk about
it too much, but I think we're more into talking about it than we
are about menopause. Nobody wants to talk about menopause. It's like it's the
culture. Though. I think of women who are aging, nobody wants to
give them any attention. Nobody wants to give me any love. It's like
everybody's gonna age, no matter how young you feel, no matter what.
And I think it's it. I'm actually happy. And you know, I
don't say a lot of nice things about Jill Bide nor Joe Biden. So
here we go. I'm gonna say one right now, and that is that
I heard her say that she thinks there needs to be more of a focus
on menopause and some of the issues that women go through, because I think
there's a lot of confusion. Yeah, are like freaked out about symptoms,
and not a lot of people talk about them unless you're really having good conversations
with your doctor. Uh huh, Well look at this. This is an
example that the doctor didn't even know exactly. Doctor Shreda thought I was an
STD, not perimenopause. But I also think we are in the middle of
a society that is breaking the barriers and removing the boundaries of polite conversation,
like you are allowed to say that something stinks or like not everything has to
be roses and all of this stuff. Like, I know, when I
was pregnant, I had a really difficult pregnancy. It was not fun for
me. There were some things that I absolutely loved, but for the most
part, it was very difficult. And I didn't feel ashamed that it was
difficult. I didn't think that there was something wrong with me, even though
everybody I knew had amazing pregnancies and they loved it and yeah, everything was
wonderful and they were glowing and blah blah blah blah blah. But like,
I didn't have that shameful feeling. I didn't feel like something was wrong with
me. So I had no problem saying like, oh, yeah, no,
this sucks. I'm uncomfortable. Things hurt. Do you know why pregnant
women waddle? I do now wasn't what I thought. And if you don't
know, then you know what. Googleed that because I'm not going to repeat
it. But it was one of those things that once I started acknowledging that
I was miserable that this wasn't fun, I cannot tell you how many people
were like, yeah, I had that too, Yeah I experienced it.
Yeah, yeah, it was actually really difficult for me, And I'm like,
why did you lie? Because everybody thinks they're supposed to be perfect,
and like it's all supposed to be easy and it's just not or the whole
what's wrong with me that it's not easy for me but it's easy for everyone
else? Yeah, I know. I think it's it's good that we're having
these conversations, especially because women, I think, for such a long time
have been told to just you know, it was zip it basically. Yeah,
oh, women are still fighting for themselves in certain things with doctors offices
and certain female time of the month products. I don't know what words I
can use some like it. Normally I would just say these words, but
we're going to keep it really friendly. Exactly, but certain time of the
month products weren't even tested with human liquid, if you will, Like it
was basically caprice sons, like it was the blue the blue really like the
blue colored water that you see in the commercials. Yeah, exactly, not
until I think, what was it this past August, Stephen that they started
actually using human anatomy to test these products out? Razy, that's that is
absolutely absurd. So it's great business time for Caldron. I would think the

And we have a lot of fun things to talk about. I'm not sure
anybody thinks, oh this is fun when you start thinking about we're gonna talk
about DeSantis. You know what, I think we both agree that we like
this one. We like this conversation. DeSantis is eliminating squatters rights in Florida,
and it is about dang tyng. Somebody does something about this. Is
it amazing that there's such a thing as squatter's rights? By the way,
I get it to a degree of shady landlords or something like that, like
people who are legally renting someplace, but as far as anybody who can just
go into an abandoned home, because we know a lot of people have properties,
they have vacation homes, or they inherited a property that they haven't really
done anything with at the time, and then people just move in and start
squatting. I was reading a story recently. I can't remember where it was,
but the woman her mother had died like a year prior, and she
he went to start cleaning up the place and somebody was living inside and she'd
been trying to get them out. She was told she to have to go
through like a lengthy legal battle, all of this stuff. She goes another
time and has a locksmith with her, and she is prepared to change the
locks. Well, the police were called. They tell her like, you're
going to have to do the legal battle, but they still escort the people
out that were in there, and she changes the locks, and she gets
arrested because she illegally changed the locks on the people living there, even though
she was the rightful owner. They were squatters. And this is just happening
way too often anymore. It's a huge story. You know. Just a
couple of weeks ago, Fox and Friends sent Laurence Jones, who I think
is a really good reporter. He goes down to I think it was Georgia,
and they were walking through the neighborhood and he went up to these doors
and these people would scream and threaten him, go away, go away.
These are I understand renters who have nightmare landlords. That's one thing in my
mind, that's like renter's right, and then obviously the landlord has rights as
well, right, and that's that's all fair game. But well, we're
getting a lot of and especially because so much business has left California and that's
where I live, you get a lot of empty buildings that are just being
like overrun by people just go in there and start squatting, and it's it's
dangerous because a lot of them are using drugs, a lot of them are
up to no good. It's it's unsafe. The neighbors are like, WHOA,
what the heck's going on? Yeah, the buildings, if you ever
want to sell them, they're not being I mean, they lose their value
so quickly because they're getting destroyed. So I think Ron DeSantis in Florida every
you know, he gets this right by saying we need to put some provisions
in effect sure that people can clean up their properties, because in California you
couldn't even like get the police to come out and remove squatters for a long
time. So this thing, I think it has to be addressed because it
seems like more and more people are going in this direction. Yeah, and
I like what he said, like these these are criminals. And again we're
not talking about tenants legal tenants who are dealing with scumbag landlords or the long
term relationship where some one person moved into the other person's house, they break
up and then the original homeowners like you have to get out, No,
that person lives there legally, Like you guys need to figure this out.
But in situations like this. This is just it has gotten to be too
much. He says that they will face criminal charges essentially for legally moving to
someone's house. These he doesn't even like the term squatters. He thinks that
that's too lenient, like these are criminals. They are selling somebody's property essentially,
you know. And they're right, he said, I guess they squatters
in Florida, and they say in other states as well, were considered tenants
under the law and required legal property owners to launch these lengthy court battles to
actually legally remove them from their house. So the new law now property owners
can call on the sheriff's office to immediately remove squatters from their homes if suspects
are unable to produce documents authorizing their residency by the property owner. So this
is great. If you are a renter, you probably have a gas bill,
or you have your rent bill or a receipt from a payment. That's
all going to protect you and put you into the renters category. But if
you're just some person who shows up someplace and sets up camp, the sheriff's
office is going to be able to go in there and remove you as they
should. Yeah. Oh, absolutely. And this is something that like I've
heard about before and have seen it as storylines and film and all of that
stuff too, where there's a shady landlord who is committing text fraunt essentially,
and they say that they will take care, like they lump the utilities in
with the rent, and they require cash only rent. Right, there's no
paper trail with that. You have to be smart enough to protect yourself.
Always have receipts, Always have a paper trail. And if they want cash,
then go get cashier's tracks because you can still get the paper trail with
that, and it's right, at least you have something, you know.
It's funny because this story and I had forgotten this guy's name, but it's
perfect Flash Shelton. So this story mentions him, but I had seen him
on at something, I mean, for the last six months. This guy
seems to be made a name for himself and he goes around and he's known
as the squatter Hunter, and so he goes from place to place and he
removes squatters from people's homes. And I believe he was the one in northern
California where there were a huge amount of squatters, like in one place in
one person's house, and the poor woman couldn't get him out. She was
single, her husband died, she was an older lady. And so this
guy went in and started annoying the squatters until he actually got them out.
He started living with them, playing loud music, being pros and rude.
Finally he actually got the squatters to leave, so he He spoke during the
press conference with Ron DeSantis saying how he personally dealt with confronting and removing the
squatters from his mom's home. Oh see it was his own mother. There
you go, he said, I know what it feels like to be helpless,
hopeless feeling when dealing with squatters. He said the law, saying it's
a civil matter, and that many people, fearing the long drawn out,
costly process, just let it go. And that's the other thing. If
you're someone who just owns one property and you've got people taking it over,
you may not have the money to go through the league, see, to
hire the lawyers, and that takes time, it takes money, it takes
the knowledge of the system to do that. It's crazy. I always think
about like, and this isn't until I put ideas in anybody said and maybe
again, maybe I saw this in a film or I dreamt it or something.
But like people who have the type of properties where they have a storm
seller or an attict that they never go into and excuse me, and they
somebody is squading in there, but they're also covering their bases. So while
they're staying in there, they're leaving when you know the family might be home
or when they know they might go into this. They hide all of their
stuff. But yet they have their mail. They do have mails into the
house and they just intercept the mail. That's one of those things of like
they're legally a tenant because they have mail coming to the residence. It's people
so invasion, it's an invasion. And if if people who have like the
criminal mindset would actually use their brains for good instead of evil, do you
know what a great Because there are a lot of criminals out there that come
up with some insanely smart stuff that is so illegal and so wrong. If
they actually put that to the positive, man oh man, especially these hackers,
And there's a part of me where I'm like, kudos to some of
these hackers who get into these massive you know, firewall security protected places and
things, and then they hold information for ransom or they sell the information.
It's like, do you realize this the kind of knowledge you have for coding
and getting around things, like why are you not making money working for the
CIA or doing something exactly right? It's they should be doing that. I
mean, I tell the story all the time because I talked to somebody from
the CHP and we were talking about the homeless issue in Los Angeles and I
was just commenting how incredibly crazy like some of the tenement, like the housing
that they set up for themselves, like whether it's a camp beside a campsite
or whatever, like in the middle of a freeway divider. And I was
like, you know, some poorchelub like me who's tired all the time,
it's going to be driving home and someone's going to be running to get to
their house, and I'm gonna feel terrible for the rest of my life.
He goes, oh, he said, let me just tell you. He
said, that is just the least of the promise. He said. Many
people will have inside their encampments television sets, things that they have stolen,
and then they tap the power poles and run power into their into their encampment,
he said, I've walked into encampments where you walk in and you think
it's like a junk hole, and you walk in and you see a brand
new flat screen TV in there that they are watching they're cooking there, which
is probably why we have so many fires that start up because yeah, they
not safe, right huh. I was like the in the panhandlers who are
like regarding homeless, like the panhandlers who aren't homeless, who this is actually
their set side gig. Yeah, There's one guy who was down at the
corner of this one intersection near where I used to live in Nashville, and
I'd see him every so often, and every every now and then i'd give
him a little bit of money. And the one day I saw him pull
out an eye phone from his bag like what he thought was covert and then
put it back in. I'm thinking, oh, no, dude has an
iPhone like you know. So I was just kind of like, well,
I'm not our show still has a flip phone for crying out. Yeah,
So I was like, Okay, I'm not really gonna get money. Well,
then the one day I saw him crossing the street, I was at
the stoplight It was a long enough stoplight that I realized his car was parked
behind this one hill kind of hiding. He pulled up. Dude was driving
a beamer. Oh my gosh, this was his side hustle. I was
like, are you kidding? If you don't have shame, you know,
you just go out there, I guess and do it. Yeah, And
it's I mean, and it's one of those things that he wasn't holding a
sign that said homeless. He was just asking for money. Like so technically
you didn't exactly lie. He's sort of like a crowdfunder, but on the
streets. All right. So we definitely have to move into the issues with
flying United. Boeing. Well, Boeing has been having a hard time United.
They can't specifically they can't seem to catch a break, but also flights
out of United, flights out of San Francisco, seems tough. It has
just been one thing after another. Most recently, and this one's not even
an airplane issue. The flight was hit. They hit birds. It was
a bird strike. They were coming from San Francisco to Denver. The plane
was forced to return back to San Francisco because of the bird strike. They
deborted, everybody got into a new plane and then they were on their way.
But they're getting a lot of heat because this is another United issue,
an United out of the San Francisco issue. Yeah, another United out of
San Francisco Boeing issue. Totally. It shows you the problem that they're having
with the public relations crisis that they're going because I guarantee you people are not
going to read. In fact, we even are looking at the same story
and I didn't even read it as the bird strike, and that's in the
headline because the minute you see flight trouble, you're now thinking Boeing and you're
probably secondarily thinking United or Alaska, which which is just it's crazy, but
that's where your mind goes, and that's what they have to overcome. I've
got a flight. I'm doing a cruise with listeners in the summer and it's
going it goes in and out of Seattle, and I'm gonna tell you,
Alaska Airlines flies only those Boeings up there, And I'm like, huh,
am I gonna do this or I want to drive to Seattle. And I'm
not a white knuckle flyer. I have no problem flying, uh huh.
But it's unnerving now because you just have heard so much. There's so much
smoke it is around around these things that it won't even matter if it's a
bird or a passenger. Everybody's just gonna think it's another problem. Yeah,
and birds hit planes all of the time. Yeah, they don't always need
to reroute back, and when they do, we don't. Well, we
weren't normally hearing about it. Now, I think anything that happens because there's
been so many like near collisions and or clipping wings of each other while they're
on the ground. There's just so much stuff that we are hearing about everything.
Oh, especially unruly passengers. Good grief. I cannot open X with
that seeing some video of an unruly flight passenger, whether they are yelling at
somebody or being detained by somebody everywhere ready remember the guy, Yeah, I
saw that passengers whoof not fun people are lying up in the air. That's
not the air you want to be. The auction masks should have jumped out.

news, Christina Applegate is recalling her breast cancer journey that she had when she
was in her thirties. She was recently on Deck Shepherd's podcast The Armchair expert
and applegate, now fifty two, was saying that her biggest regret during her
breast cancer journey is not being open and on it. She says that she
essentially lied about everything. In two thousand and eight, she was diagnosed with
breast cancer went through a double missectomy, and she said she had to learn
a lesson the hard way because when she had breast cancer at the age of
thirty six, she would go out and do the rounds with different interviews,
and she would be the qute unquote good girl saying like, oh, yeah,
everything's good, I'm feeling great, and I love my new boobs blah
blah blah blah blah. And she's like, meanwhile, I was miserable.
I was crying every day during my breast cancer journey. I was traumatized by
the boobs. They were all scarred and uh quote unquote ft up. And
she's like, what was I thinking? Other people are going through this and
there could have been this camaraderie of being honest. And she said that she
wasn't really sure if she was trying to convince herself that she was okay or
trying to convince other people that she was okay, but she felt like she
had to lie, like she felt like she just had to do the again,
quote unquote good girl thing of saying, well, everything's okay, it's
it's not that bad, and she's like, no, millions of people go
through this and it sucks, and it's okay to say that it sucks.
Christina Applegate has recently been very open about her MS journey. She has been
through it. Somebody else another celebrity very open about their health struggles, Shannon
Doherty, she has always been open about what she is going through and even
her current status of the chemotherapy, and she said that while her cancer is
terminal, because there have been so many developments in science and medicine that she
is hoping she has at least three to five good years left. When it
comes down to it. It is nice to see when celebrities are just like
us and they are acknowledging things that are hard, because it's hard for us
too. But at the same time, celebrities do not owe us anything.
They do not owe us any kind of explanation of what they're going through or
a peek inside their lives. If they want to give the information out,
good for them. If they want to keep it close to home and only
share it with their inner circle, you know what good for them as well.
Moving on to social media news, TikTok is under investigation by the Federal
Trade Commission aka the FTC over its data and security practices. Now, this
is a probe that could lead to a settlement or lawsuit against the company,
according to a person familiar with matter who wanted to stay anonymous. But again,
as Doug and I have discussed numerous times, yes there are data and
security issues. There are practices that TikTok is utilizing that is questionable and people
have a problem with, especially because it seems to be owned by the Chinese
government, if you will. But here's the thing. Meta uses those same
data and security practices. Google uses the same data and security practices. So
is it really that the data and security practices are the concern, Because if
that's the case, it's only a matter of time before the FTC opens an
investigation with more of an investigation with Meta and X and Google and all of
the things, because they do take our data. They do the geotagging and
meta tagging and where we are and what kind of ads to send to us.
And if you have ever felt like, oh, my phone is listening
because I was just talking about this with somebody and now my phone is sending
me you know, sponsor promoted posts on social media, it's not because they
were listening. It's because the person you were talking with probably searched it on
their phone, and those data information is looking from it's actually your phones.
We're talking to each other, and your phone was in close proximity with the
other person who was googling things. That's why you were talking about it.
But now you're actually seeing those sponsored acts them. Are you no? The
