1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,400 The next Stefan Good Day download with Doug and Jay Kirshner is made possible in 2 00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:08,039 part by Caldron, which is the safe way for you to lose weight and 3 00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:13,199 keep it off, and also by Privilegent keeping your brain healthy. Life is 4 00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:19,199 as we have our new beginnings. Life is sweets. We should say thank 5 00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:23,559 you. I do. I know that every morning, every evening it's a 6 00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:27,280 good time to say thank you, celebrate sort of what's going on. So 7 00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:31,800 the I guess the idea is, as you have new beginnings, new chances, 8 00:00:32,359 --> 00:00:35,560 and maybe you've been bitter about something that happened in the last year, 9 00:00:35,719 --> 00:00:40,320 So let's toss that out. Shall we say thank you? And let's grow 10 00:00:40,399 --> 00:00:45,520 into twenty twenty four, Thursday, the fourth of January, one of the 11 00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:50,880 deadliest attacks in Iran in decades. This shows you, Jay, what it's 12 00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:56,039 really like, because there's a a civil war brewing there. You know, 13 00:00:56,079 --> 00:00:59,679 we talk about what's going on discontent here, and a lot of people don't 14 00:00:59,679 --> 00:01:02,960 pay it atention to what's going on elsewhere. The Iranians, as I have 15 00:01:03,039 --> 00:01:07,120 said many times, are very unhappy with the Ayatola, but they he has 16 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,200 the support of the military, so they can't really get rid of them, 17 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:14,840 and so as a result of that, there are these sorts of things. 18 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:19,599 This cemetery blast yesterday, ninety five people I think a one hundred people somewhere 19 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:25,840 in that vicinity. Yeah, yeah, a couple of hundred were hurting service. 20 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,200 Yea, there were two. It wasn't one. There were a pair 21 00:01:29,239 --> 00:01:34,959 of bombings at this cemetery, which is as I look at a map here, 22 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:41,200 this is sort of southeastern city in Iran, and this was something that 23 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:45,599 was that was obviously planned. There are people, as I said, there 24 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:49,280 was a there was a celebration and a manner speaking of life. Remember when 25 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:57,040 we killed that guy Solomoni who was the former leader of the Revolutionary Guard and 26 00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,400 some bombing, I forget what it was. It was three or four years 27 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:05,760 ago. US drone strike took him out. So that made the US unpopular 28 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:09,120 with the Ayahtola and the people who support him. But the people who don't 29 00:02:09,199 --> 00:02:14,520 like him and don't like the Ayahtola, they were happy. And even though 30 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:17,960 there was no I don't think there's been a group that claimed responsibility for these 31 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:24,120 explosions, but it was you know, this goes back to the time the 32 00:02:24,159 --> 00:02:29,599 Islamic Revolution in Iran when they got rid of This was at the end of 33 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:34,240 Jimmy Carter's era, and one of the blunders, huge blunders that he made, 34 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,960 was to not support the Shah of Shah is that New England, the 35 00:02:39,039 --> 00:02:46,120 Shaw of Iran, who was tossed out of power, and this became one 36 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:51,039 of those things that upset the Middle East, the sort of balance of power, 37 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:54,000 if you will. And there were a lot of other tensions at that 38 00:02:54,120 --> 00:03:00,280 time, and certainly there were plenty of other tensions right now that are focus. 39 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:05,759 We weren't thinking because we don't know, we don't pay attention to the 40 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,800 folks who are not our friends. We've done some things that are really stupid. 41 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,639 In the last year, we've done some a lot of things that were 42 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,639 really stupid when it came to the Iranians. Or it's almost like we don't 43 00:03:15,879 --> 00:03:22,680 the government doesn't know what the people in Iran are thinking and what they're all 44 00:03:22,719 --> 00:03:24,759 about. I mean, the CIA's got to be on top of that, 45 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:30,479 but they don't seem to be. And so here we are with a situation 46 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:36,280 that you know, just again, I think the best what comes out of 47 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:42,120 this that's most important is the fact that this is a very very disgruntled nation. 48 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:46,199 And it's like the bombings that go off elsewhere. Remember when the IRA 49 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:51,719 did their thing in England and how there were bombings everywhere because they didn't like 50 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:55,960 the English interference in what was going on in Ireland. So there you go. 51 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,960 But usually there's some group that takes ownership, and I don't believe any 52 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,680 group has claimed responsibility for this. No, well, that's what I'm saying, 53 00:04:05,719 --> 00:04:09,520 and that's part of yeah, you know, in a manner of speaking, 54 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:15,439 as part of what is indicative of what life is like in that country 55 00:04:15,479 --> 00:04:19,800 these days because nobody really kind of know. I think that the people inside 56 00:04:20,439 --> 00:04:27,879 are they know what's going on. Did I talk to you about this woman 57 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:31,800 who's one hundred and four years old? It was a skydiver? Seem to 58 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,839 me we talked about somebody who was a skydiver, but I don't think it 59 00:04:34,879 --> 00:04:41,160 was this woman who is who took her for This wasn't a birthday present. 60 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:46,040 I think the last time we talked about one of these things. Is this 61 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,920 the one that I feel like we've had a discussion about somebody who've always wanted 62 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:53,480 to do it and they finally decided to do it, and then there's somebody 63 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:57,279 else who this was like a big hobby for them, and it's just something 64 00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:01,480 that they've never stopped doing. Right if you jumped from thirteen thousand and five 65 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:08,120 hundred feet and there are a picture of what I was attracted to. Was 66 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:11,000 on the plane last night coming out here. I was reading some of these, 67 00:05:11,079 --> 00:05:13,519 you know, the stories that we try to put together that we can 68 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,120 talk about on the air, and there's this picture of this woman with her 69 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:19,439 hair standing straight out in the air with somebody on you know, sort of 70 00:05:19,519 --> 00:05:24,199 rite behind her who's guiding her down. But you look into her face and 71 00:05:24,199 --> 00:05:27,920 you think, this woman's hundred and four. Oh wow, he's aUI that 72 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:33,759 is something how many of us are ready to soar, even at the age 73 00:05:33,759 --> 00:05:36,720 where we are. I've I had a couple of our opportunities to do and 74 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:41,920 I didn't want to do it, just just nope, thanks. I don't 75 00:05:41,959 --> 00:05:44,600 think that's one of those things for me. George Bush, the Father, 76 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:46,720 did it the last few years of his life. He was well into his 77 00:05:46,759 --> 00:05:50,079 eighties when he did it, I think, and he tried it right when 78 00:05:50,199 --> 00:05:53,279 they went in't the Secret Service. He wanted to do it when he was 79 00:05:53,319 --> 00:05:59,839 president of the Secret servers wouldn't let him, and so the Secret Service real 80 00:06:00,079 --> 00:06:04,279 he runs things under the you know, the guys of protecting the president. 81 00:06:04,879 --> 00:06:11,600 They and the vice president. They really do run most of the activities, 82 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:15,319 the things Yep, you can do that or no you can't, which is 83 00:06:15,399 --> 00:06:17,120 kind of interesting, imagine spending eight years like that. Eight years ago. 84 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:21,600 I remember Bill Clinton, so how he had a Mustang and they had the 85 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:28,560 Mustang was parked in Washington someplace, and I'm trying to remember where it was, 86 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,439 because they park there's a building about four blocks away from the White House 87 00:06:31,439 --> 00:06:35,279 where they the Secret Service keeps all the cars, and one of the cars 88 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:39,360 was in there. Clinton wanted his car close to him, and they said, 89 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:44,240 mister President, you can't drive. Well, apparently one night he was 90 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:46,800 able to get out of the building, get away from the Secret Service, 91 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:50,759 and take a ride in his Mustang. I don't remember where he went, 92 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:54,360 but I remember there's a big to do. The next day, the Secret 93 00:06:54,399 --> 00:06:59,759 Service was all over him and well, yeah, I mean they failed at 94 00:06:59,759 --> 00:07:03,639 their job. They lost them. I went out, Yeah, I wanted 95 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:08,639 to take a walk around the grounds. Okay, speaking of Bill Clinton, 96 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:12,680 there's a lot of to do just to remember we mentioned the Jeffrey Epstein list, 97 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,360 where I have to hand it to you, and maybe I'll hand it 98 00:07:15,399 --> 00:07:18,480 to me and pat myself on the back a little bit. I have always, 99 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:23,839 as I've done this program for as long as I have been, in 100 00:07:23,879 --> 00:07:28,519 many circumstances ahead of the day's news. You know, the news talk radio 101 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:30,480 program, you're supposed talk about what's going on in the news, and I 102 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:32,879 like to talk about everything that's in the news, not just some of the 103 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:36,279 stuff. We get to more of it than I think most other programs do, 104 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:41,120 just because it's kind of like a music program. When we were done, 105 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,480 after the record's done in three three and a half minutes, okay, 106 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:46,279 so our conversation about this, that or the other thing is done in three 107 00:07:46,519 --> 00:07:49,079 or three and a half minutes and on to the next record, onto the 108 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:55,480 next story. And so anyway, this was something that we spent a little 109 00:07:55,480 --> 00:08:00,639 bit of time on yesterday, And having just mentioned Bill Clinton's name reminds me 110 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:05,240 of what I also read on the plane coming back out here last night about 111 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:11,319 these unsealed documents that sort of focus on some of the people who were his 112 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:16,600 victims. This Virginia and I ever pronounced her last name right, accusing Epstein 113 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:22,959 and Gizlane Maxwell, who's in prison? Still? Right? Yeah? Isn't 114 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:28,000 she still in the slammer? Still she's in jail? Right? She was 115 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:31,120 convicted of sex trafficking, which reminds me the next time we talk about sex 116 00:08:31,159 --> 00:08:37,799 trafficking with one of those things that come into alert people, we ought to 117 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:41,440 bring that up. There's something by the way, let me go down. 118 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:43,559 I'm going down a side street for a minute. Well, it has to 119 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:48,919 do with sex trafficking. How many people have seen the spot from I think 120 00:08:48,919 --> 00:08:54,360 it's the Dallas Cowboys that are doing a spot on human trafficking. I see 121 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:58,559 it when I'm on the plane watching videos. At the intro to every one 122 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,720 of the things. You know when you're take when you're looking at the entertainment 123 00:09:01,759 --> 00:09:09,120 device on the plane, there are usually promotional things an add for thirty seconds 124 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:13,840 in front of the show, maybe promoting the airline or promoting the credit card 125 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:18,159 or its case. There's a thirty second blurb that airs with three players from 126 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:22,720 the Dallas I'm pretty sure it's the Dallas team and the general manager, James 127 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:26,120 Collins in our studio in Dallas, our main studio. Is there a lady 128 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:31,519 who runs the team in Dallas, because that's who the woman who runs whatever 129 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:35,960 team this is. And I was pretty sure they was talking maybe it was 130 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:39,399 Arizona, though I'm not too sure about that one. I'm not too sure. 131 00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:41,480 Let me see, let me look at it. Well, anyway, 132 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:46,080 it's not important to the story. It's just the interesting thing this document that 133 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:52,200 the news media is pouring over. There are a lot of names in there, 134 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:56,440 names that we knew though, like Prince Andrew and Alan Dershowitz and Bill 135 00:09:56,480 --> 00:10:03,159 Clinton and Donald This is only the first set of the documents. There's more 136 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:07,679 to come. Yeah, right, anyway, there were a number of I 137 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:13,360 think Bill Clinton and Donald Trump were there together. It's an interesting pair. 138 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:18,159 Imagine today Charlotte Jones, Yes, the owner and executive VP of the Dallas 139 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:22,799 Cowboys. Yeah, so I think that's who it was that's doing the spot 140 00:10:22,159 --> 00:10:28,360 at any rate. Okay, So I think we've highlighted one of the things 141 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,519 that I think we'll be on the talk radio Countdown show that we talk about 142 00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:35,360 this every week at the end of the week and runs on the weekend, 143 00:10:35,159 --> 00:10:39,799 the national debt. Now, you know, one of the things going back 144 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:43,200 to wanting to be first on some of these stories and talk about them and 145 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:48,840 get the first sort of before these are virgin stories before everybody else gets onto 146 00:10:48,879 --> 00:10:52,440 them, and it gives you their interpretation or their thought about it. I 147 00:10:52,519 --> 00:10:56,600 mean, they don't have to be the first, but I was again, 148 00:10:56,679 --> 00:11:00,639 I think Jay and I were on this yesterday, the focus on thirty four 149 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:05,720 trillion dollars that we have in debt according to the Treasury Department, and it 150 00:11:05,799 --> 00:11:11,639 has it's gone up tremendously obviously because of COVID, and if we don't do 151 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:18,759 what we need to do, stop spending, the debt will reach fifty trillion 152 00:11:18,879 --> 00:11:26,559 dollars in ten years. So money's worthless, right, That's why it's so 153 00:11:26,639 --> 00:11:30,600 much inflation, because we owe so much money. I don't know why people 154 00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,679 don't get all that, or maybe people don't care. I sure, azek 155 00:11:33,759 --> 00:11:41,840 do. Selena Gomez is on the top of the list when it comes to 156 00:11:41,279 --> 00:11:48,759 social media things that are trending regarding celebrities. She's talking about how she's been 157 00:11:48,799 --> 00:11:52,960 making music. I just noticed and Jay and I were talking about it here 158 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:56,559 for a moment off air. The fact that she's in that show with Martin 159 00:11:56,600 --> 00:12:01,799 Short and Steve martin In the building, only murders in the building. Yeah, 160 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:05,519 and I didn't. I watched a little of it the other night, 161 00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:09,399 but I didn't get into it because I didn't it's been it was what was 162 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:13,000 it on Hulu or something before or Hulu? Yeah, and so now they've 163 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:18,200 put it on ABC because everybody's looking for products. A lot of these things 164 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:22,759 that were exclusive a couple of years ago on the you know, the streaming 165 00:12:22,799 --> 00:12:26,600 service is now getting there, making their way to the TV itself and getting 166 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:31,559 great ratings. Look at the ratings that are coming on Sunday night when Yellowstone 167 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:33,559 is on. It was great ratings for that, and I think the ratings 168 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:37,360 are good. You say this is a great show. Oh, I love 169 00:12:37,399 --> 00:12:41,639 it. This was one of the very few shows that whenever a new episode 170 00:12:41,639 --> 00:12:43,840 would drop on Who I would make sure I would watch it that day, 171 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:48,519 where normally I don't get to watch anything on the day, let alone like 172 00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:50,559 on the week. And also when I am watching a show, it takes 173 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:54,879 me a few days. I have to keep stopping and going and doing something 174 00:12:54,879 --> 00:12:56,799 else. And this was the one show that I'm like, I'm watching it 175 00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:01,360 when it drops and I'm watching the full episode no matter what, No matter 176 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:05,200 what, everyone be quiet and pay attention. Yes, all right, So 177 00:13:05,279 --> 00:13:09,360 Selena Gomez is not talking about the television work or the acting words that she 178 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:15,200 joined. She's talking about making music. And I've never gotten into her music 179 00:13:15,759 --> 00:13:18,919 for me, and I say this as Captain curmudgeon, that much of the 180 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,200 music that's popular today sounds the same. And then somebody would point out, 181 00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:26,360 do you remember the duop era? There dug o and all the music so 182 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:31,759 the same, And there's something to be said for that anyway. So Jay, 183 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:35,559 she's a pretty frank about where she is at this point in her career. 184 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:39,000 She says she only has one more album in her Yeah, she's tired, 185 00:13:39,039 --> 00:13:41,559 and I get it. I mean, when you are a musician, 186 00:13:41,879 --> 00:13:46,559 you put out albums, you tour, you do the whole shebang. She's 187 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:48,440 also acting, and she said that when she started out, she loved it. 188 00:13:48,519 --> 00:13:52,080 She was doing her show on Disney Channel, Wizards of Waverley Place, 189 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:56,080 and singing was always a hobby for her. She never felt like she was 190 00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:58,159 a great singer, but she knew she was a great storyteller. And clearly 191 00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:03,759 she was doing a bang up draw because she's a great, well known singer 192 00:14:03,799 --> 00:14:07,679 as well as actor, but she said that it turned into something more than 193 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:11,080 she ever intended it to be. And while she loved it and enjoyed it, 194 00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,720 at this point of her life, she's tired. She maybe has one 195 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,720 more album in her and then she'll retire from music and just focus on acting. 196 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,919 All right. Does this sound like she's complaining or just telling you what 197 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:24,399 the story is? No, I don't think she's complaining at all. I 198 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:26,480 think she's acknowledging her truth that she's tired, she has one more album in 199 00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:31,480 her and she'll just focus on acting. She's done well well. She seems 200 00:14:31,559 --> 00:14:33,919 like pretty good actress from what I can do, and she has lucas. 201 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:37,559 She's had a kidney transplant. Yeah. All right, So there's the Selena 202 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:41,799 Gomez up to date story, folks. I'm Greg I'm sixty eight years old. 203 00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:45,279 I grew up in Cleveland, Ohio. Majored in business administration. I 204 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:48,480 do motivational speaking in addition to substitute teaching. Part of the reason for my 205 00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:52,399 motivational speaking is I kind of feel like I have a calling or giving back 206 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:56,480 to the younger generation. You know, the golden rule is doing to others 207 00:14:56,519 --> 00:15:00,399 you'd have them doing to you. My wife, Wanda, is a senior 208 00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:03,360 flight attendants. She's been flying for over thirty years. We do laugh by 209 00:15:03,399 --> 00:15:07,679 a bit. I think most adults will start realizing that they don't recall things 210 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:11,720 as quickly as they used to, or they don't remember things as vividly as 211 00:15:11,759 --> 00:15:16,519 they once did. I've been taking Prevagen for about three years now. People 212 00:15:16,559 --> 00:15:20,200 say to me periodical, Man, you got a memory like an alphant. 213 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:26,879 It's really really helped me tremendously. Prevagen Healthier brain, better life. Greg 214 00:15:26,919 --> 00:15:31,039 Freeley is a paid testimonialist and real privilegen user. Based on the clinical study 215 00:15:31,039 --> 00:15:35,039 of subgroups of individuals who were cognitively normal or mildly impaired. This product is 216 00:15:35,039 --> 00:15:39,480 not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. All 217 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:43,840 right, so we have the Oakrage Boys here. Apparently one of the Oakridge 218 00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:50,600 Boys, a guy named Joe Bonsal, is retiring from the group doing a 219 00:15:50,639 --> 00:15:56,519 lot of touring as they do, because he's got some kind of neuromuscular disorder. 220 00:15:56,559 --> 00:16:00,320 Is this the same sort of thing that Celine Dion has? You know, 221 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,399 what do you stiff person syndrome? I think this is this is something 222 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:07,120 different, but it's just he's not leaving the band. He just can't tour 223 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:12,799 anymore. Uh huh, too difficult on his body. Yeah, so you 224 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,159 wonder, well, he's seventy five. How old these guys are all in 225 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:18,200 their seventies by now. I would thought anyway, Right, they've been around 226 00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:23,080 for fifty years, and this was supposed to be their farewell tour, wasn't 227 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:26,440 it. And then of course, like what most of them say, like 228 00:16:26,519 --> 00:16:30,279 Share, that's my last tour until the next one, and then that'll be 229 00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:33,639 the last. Oh no, no no. And Shar's defense though, Share 230 00:16:33,759 --> 00:16:37,080 never stopped her tour. It just it was the same tour and just kept 231 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:40,960 going. So if you don't stop the tour, then it's not a new 232 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:42,200 tour. That'd be the end of the tour. It was all part of 233 00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:47,159 the same tour. Yep. Anyway, they've had a great there in the 234 00:16:47,159 --> 00:16:51,639 Country Music Hall of Fame. They have been playing a lot of fans around 235 00:16:51,679 --> 00:16:56,120 the country, and they started when they were in their twenties and they're now 236 00:16:56,159 --> 00:16:59,720 in their seventies, so that tells you something about their career. Back in 237 00:16:59,759 --> 00:17:03,279 this seventies they started in For heaven's sakes, who would have thought that a 238 00:17:03,279 --> 00:17:07,599 group like this, or any group, frankly, any band would last. 239 00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:11,400 And then you think about, well, the Beatles aren't still around, but 240 00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:15,079 the I think of my Friends and the Moody Blues, Well, there are 241 00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:18,440 only two of them left, so it's not much touring you can do. 242 00:17:18,799 --> 00:17:22,359 And there were five or six in the original group and now it was only 243 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:23,960 two. So what do you do to make up the rest of the music. 244 00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:32,559 And so by attrition, they're just all losing the members of the groups, 245 00:17:32,559 --> 00:17:34,359 and that's why they're all sort of stopping. But anyway, this is 246 00:17:34,519 --> 00:17:37,680 a lot of times they'll get replacements, especially if they're not putting out new 247 00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:42,960 music. They're just touring. Like Tops Queen has Adam Lambert with them, 248 00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:48,519 and yeah, right, he took Freddie Mercury's place, right, didn't he? 249 00:17:48,599 --> 00:17:55,720 His voice was very similar. Has been a fantastic edition. Uh no, 250 00:17:55,759 --> 00:18:02,160 I thought, Remy all or not? Right? Remy? Oh? 251 00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:04,680 Did he? Oh? All right? Well? Anyway, hold a good 252 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:08,160 thought at Joe bons Hell from the Oak Rage Boys. It's a good day 253 00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:14,039 program. I'm Doug Stephan with Jay Kirshner, thinking about what happened. You 254 00:18:14,039 --> 00:18:18,240 know, we're still sort of halfway betwixt and between is it last year or 255 00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:25,079 is it this year? And thinking about one of the things that I learned, 256 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:30,599 we're all steeped in our community with a new library and a new library 257 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:33,599 leader, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. So it made me 258 00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:38,920 think about public libraries in general. We think they are less necessary, and 259 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:44,160 maybe they are. Is the advent of technology, you go in, what's 260 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:48,079 the point of borrowing a book? Right? You can get the books online? 261 00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:52,240 Can't you get almost every book it was ever printed on? But also, 262 00:18:52,279 --> 00:18:55,880 what's the point of buying books? How many and how many times? 263 00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:59,960 How often do we read a book more than once? And normally if we're 264 00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:03,039 is it's maybe it's like one or two of our books. But when we 265 00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:04,720 read a book and then we'll tend to pass it on to somebody else. 266 00:19:04,799 --> 00:19:10,759 So why not hit up the library and borrow's over buying them. Thought about 267 00:19:10,759 --> 00:19:12,559 that with regard to Netflix when they were offering to buy you know, you 268 00:19:12,599 --> 00:19:15,359 want to buy this movie? How many times? I don't want to watch 269 00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:18,599 a movie more than maybe once or twice, with a few exceptions like The 270 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:22,599 Hunt for Red October or True Grid or something like that. But For the 271 00:19:22,599 --> 00:19:25,640 most part, you see a movie and that's it. See you later, 272 00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:29,640 like watching an old, stale telle. I don't it really amazes me how 273 00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:33,279 many people watch the same episodes of Friends over and yeah, over again. 274 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:37,000 I'm that person. Well, when it comes to TV shows and movies, 275 00:19:37,039 --> 00:19:41,519 I will unless it's one I don't like or I just I didn't care for, 276 00:19:41,599 --> 00:19:44,319 I'm not going to watch it again. But if I liked it, 277 00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:47,599 I'll I'll have no problem watching it again. Like Friends episodes, if I 278 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:52,079 see it's on, just on one of the regular channels and I'm doing other 279 00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:53,400 stuff, I'll have it on in the background. The Big Bank Theory. 280 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:56,920 I could watch The Big Bank Theory season to season on repeat. You I 281 00:19:56,920 --> 00:20:03,920 don't get that at all. I there's nothing about that show. I've tried 282 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:07,279 to watch it here and there and I just haven't. Doesn't grab me. 283 00:20:07,319 --> 00:20:11,400 But listen something for everybody boy. The program brought to you in part by 284 00:20:11,559 --> 00:20:17,640 Progressive Insurance Insurance as you know for your cycle, motorcycle, your boat, 285 00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:21,480 your car, your RV. So check it out see how much you can 286 00:20:21,519 --> 00:20:27,200 save this year at eight hundred progressive or Progressive dot com. So the reason 287 00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:33,279 I was talking about the libraries is because I saw this is one of those 288 00:20:33,319 --> 00:20:40,039 things Doug who cares well maybe gets people's interests. But if you, especially 289 00:20:40,039 --> 00:20:42,480 if you're a reader and you read a lot of books. I have lots 290 00:20:42,519 --> 00:20:48,079 of people. Friend that I visited in Palm Beach, she's an ardent she 291 00:20:48,079 --> 00:20:49,240 always has been an ardent reader. I've known her for a long time, 292 00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:53,519 and she grabs any in all books and reads them. And that's a great 293 00:20:53,559 --> 00:20:56,799 way, by the way, to keep your mind active and stimulated as you 294 00:20:56,839 --> 00:21:03,759 grow older. So the most borrowed book of the year. Never heard of 295 00:21:03,799 --> 00:21:11,079 this book before I read this story, Lessons in Chemistry, which was adapted 296 00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:19,240 to an Apple TV series Top Spot around the country. Libraries that were surveyed 297 00:21:19,279 --> 00:21:25,640 New York, Seattle, Boston, Cleveland, cities like that. So that's 298 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:29,599 the number one I suppose. I think, well, there's two lists, 299 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:33,920 the fiction list, and that's where this book comes from, Lessons in Chemistry, 300 00:21:33,319 --> 00:21:41,200 and then the reality books like Prince Harry's memoir Spare was the most borrowed 301 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:45,920 book in terms of what do they call that autobiography or sort of reality. 302 00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:49,759 It's not fiction, that's fact, And by the way, was the most 303 00:21:49,759 --> 00:21:56,400 borrowed book also in the ebook sphere, So that's another thing. That's those 304 00:21:56,400 --> 00:22:02,880 are the two most popular libury finds for this past year. All right, 305 00:22:03,079 --> 00:22:08,039 got that. Here's something I am sort of taken back by Jay. That 306 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:14,559 is the number of bomb threats that forced evacuation of state capitals across our country 307 00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:22,359 yesterday. The state Well, I'm looking at the list of the states Connecticut, 308 00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:30,160 Georgia, Hawaii, Kentucky, Michigan, Mississippi. The result of bomb 309 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:34,839 So in Kentucky, for example, state police ordered the capital be evacuated. 310 00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:41,319 They're investigating a threat received by the Secretary of State's office. But why so 311 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:48,200 many of these on the same day. What's the story with that? This 312 00:22:48,279 --> 00:22:55,079 is an email that initially was received by secretaries of state around the country, 313 00:22:55,839 --> 00:23:02,839 and just basically I'm looking at the story from Connecticut. Well, employees got 314 00:23:02,839 --> 00:23:08,039 this suspicious email in the secretary of State's office claiming that multiple explosives had been 315 00:23:08,079 --> 00:23:14,160 placed in their state building, their state capitol building. So they searched the 316 00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:18,440 building. They didn't find anything. But again Georgia State Capitol, same thing 317 00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:22,160 happened there. Michigan State Capitol, same thing happened there. What the heck 318 00:23:22,279 --> 00:23:26,640 is going on Michigan anything, but they have to take it. Every single 319 00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:32,359 threat like this, they have to take it seriously. Yeah, Maine State 320 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:38,039 House was evacuated. The why state Capitol building was evacuated. Wyoming got several 321 00:23:38,079 --> 00:23:42,880 mass emails, but law enforcement said the threat wasn't credible and so they didn't 322 00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:48,839 do anything. Okay, all right, listen, how do you know under 323 00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:52,720 the circumstances what to take seriously? That's what they get paid for, right, 324 00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:59,480 they should know or figure out what really matters in that department. Well, 325 00:23:59,519 --> 00:24:02,920 it's always better to take a seriously check it out, and nothing comes 326 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:06,599 from it than you think already it's a hoax, don't follow up, and 327 00:24:06,599 --> 00:24:10,279 then something that happens. Yep, right, okay, tell me what you 328 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:15,440 think of this. Jay the United States or no, I shouldn't say the 329 00:24:15,519 --> 00:24:19,640 United States because this is scheduled for the state of Alabama later this month. 330 00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:29,440 They're going to execute a prisoner by asphyxiation by using pure nitrogen, saying that 331 00:24:29,559 --> 00:24:37,480 this method may help to get you to dispatch them faster. And then there 332 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:41,640 are others who say it's cruel, inhumane, and degrading to use something like 333 00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:45,119 this on a guy. His name is Kenneth Smith. Oh this is the 334 00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:51,599 gas mask one, right, yeah, right, Scheduled to be executed on 335 00:24:51,759 --> 00:24:59,759 January twenty fifth using this gas method. It's like, I guess, like 336 00:24:59,799 --> 00:25:03,400 going to do a gas chamber, except they've got a mask on his mouth, 337 00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:08,640 and it really let me see how I approach this, so that I 338 00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:11,559 it seemed like a horrible way to die. Lack of oxygen. This is 339 00:25:11,599 --> 00:25:15,960 right up there with drowning with right, like putting a pillow over somebody's face, 340 00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:22,680 Yeah, right, using a cylinder of nitrogen, which is heavier than 341 00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:26,799 air, and so it pushes the air and the oxygen out and when you 342 00:25:26,839 --> 00:25:30,440 breathe it, what the heck do you think is going to happen? It 343 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:40,160 asphyxiates you. That's an inert gas. So anyway, this fellow, I 344 00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:44,319 think there was a way they tried to execute him before, but it was 345 00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:48,799 a botched attempt at doing it last year. They couldn't get They couldn't They 346 00:25:48,839 --> 00:25:52,079 can't find a vein, so that's why they're doing this. They can't there. 347 00:25:53,079 --> 00:25:57,519 This is a new I'm not sure, well is it new or just 348 00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:03,680 it's new to us? What it does?

Was she the one who's married? I 375 00:28:04,079 --> 00:28:08,960 want to say it. What was she married to a policeman who is the 376 00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:15,279 celebrity? No?

I didn't think she looked bad before. 383 00:28:41,759 --> 00:28:47,319 So much prejudice aimed at women who know, you don't see this about men, 384 00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:52,200 women who you should lose some weight? Yeah? Really, who says? 385 00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:56,319 So she got to be comfortable? Yeah, And Kelly Clarkson is somebody 386 00:28:56,359 --> 00:29:00,480 whose weight has always fluctuated, and she has looked fantastic no matter what I 387 00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:03,799 think. She's very attracted, very cute. Anyway, So is she the 388 00:29:03,839 --> 00:29:11,400 first winner of American Idol? Isn't that where she Yeah? Yeah, she 389 00:29:11,559 --> 00:29:14,559 was very good. So she got married, she got a couple of children, 390 00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:18,039 she divorced, her husband, moved from LA to New York. And 391 00:29:18,119 --> 00:29:22,759 part of it was she was feeling like she had to look a particular way 392 00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:26,440 living in LA. And she doesn't feel like she has to be like that 393 00:29:26,799 --> 00:29:30,960 in New York. So miserable and her kids were miserable in LA, she 394 00:29:30,039 --> 00:29:33,319 said. And they just have a better quality of life in New York. 395 00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:37,839 Mm hmm. No, listen, there's there's good things and bad things to 396 00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:41,759 be said about any place where you are in Cleveland, and a lot of 397 00:29:41,759 --> 00:29:47,960 great yeah, everything for everyone. No, exactly right anyway, So what's 398 00:29:48,039 --> 00:29:51,000 this focus on how she dropped? Wait? I thought, you know, 399 00:29:51,079 --> 00:29:55,440 she's a little chunky, but she's I think it's an attractive look. Frankly, 400 00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:59,400 I've always thought, you look at some of these waifs, these young 401 00:30:00,519 --> 00:30:03,960 models who don't have any nothing Jesus skin and bones. Why is that attractive? 402 00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:07,359 Well, there's this whole ozempic craze right now too. So anybody who 403 00:30:07,359 --> 00:30:11,519 seems to lose weight gets accused of being on ozempic. And the reality is 404 00:30:11,599 --> 00:30:15,680 it's nobody's business whether they use it or not. And also, if somebody 405 00:30:17,279 --> 00:30:19,279 loses weight one way and they're being accused of losing it a different way, 406 00:30:19,599 --> 00:30:25,079 that takes away all of their you know, work and everything that they did 407 00:30:25,119 --> 00:30:27,759 do. And again I refer back to my previous statement, it's nobody's business 408 00:30:27,839 --> 00:30:32,759 business. Kelly Clark's in your art. In my book, you're in number 409 00:30:32,759 --> 00:30:36,039 one? How's that go out? Jay's number one? Kelly could be number 410 00:30:36,039 --> 00:30:40,279 two.
