keep it off, and also by Previlegent keeping your brain healthy. Last night
I tried to figure the Rockefeller Center thing. Did you watch that for?
I did not. I didn't see any of it. Wasn't good. Yeah,
I was back and forth. I'm not taking as much time as I'm
still trying to do a little recoup and go to the sack earlier. But
I liked what I saw. I didn't get lost in it, but I
liked the final or at the end, close to the end. Share and
Darlene love That did her Christmas song and it was very good. Nicely done
to them obviously have admiration for each other. But Kelly Clarkson was so solid.
She always is. She's just very, very solid. So it's a
good show. All those lights and stuff, and the taxpayers paying for everybody.
It's so excited. Oh look at those lights. I wonder who's paying
for those? Zlo. You are same thing with a Christmas tree, isn't
today the lightning of the Christmas tree in Washington, and I miss that.
It seems to me it was today some day this week. Yeah, I
wonder how it's you, because what was it the other day? I think
the wind toppled it over, knocked it over. Yeah, all right,
be careful people that are going out. If you're buying a Christmas tree.
Here's your Christmas tidbit for the day from the dugger the Christmas trees that are
around now that you've put on the top of your car and you've brought home
and you're set up over the weekend, as that's the tradition. A lot
of people do that after Thanksgiving. That tree has probably been cut for at
least four to five weeks and it hasn't seen any moisture. So when you
put it in the house, you put it in lemony water and that will
absorb their A couple of don't put any oil in it, because all that
does is plug it up. Some people say, oh, I gotta put
some olive oil in there, I'll make the No, all it'll do is
plug up the bottom of it and won't be able to sorb any water at
all. So put a little bit of something citrusy in the water that you
put in the bottom of the tree that holds the bottom of the trunk of
fuel of the tree. All right, got it, all right? And
then if you're kind of smart, you'll take one of those you have,
the curtain that goes around the bottom of the tree that you put the the
all the presents on under that. Put a big there's a huge plastic bag.
Some even of the stores that sell the Christmas tree sell those bags.
So you put the bag under the tree. And then when you're all done,
you just wrap the bag around the tree and voila. It's gonzo.
See you later. You know, I mess up your house. Never forget
the year. My children will not let me forget this either. I think
it was the first year that I was divorced, and it was the year
I cooked the turkey all night and the Christmas time. I left the tree
up until April, and so I had to take a wind to get it
out of the house without having those needles everywhere. I took out a window
and pushed the tree out the window right by where it was sitting. But
it was hardly worth the effort. But I could probably cut it up with
the scissors and to put it in the fireplace. How do you say that.
There are some of these you rent Christmas trees, so they're potted Christmas
trees with the football still attached, and that way after Christmas they can go
get replanted. And some of these companies essentially they're just renting them out and
then once the tree, I think after so many years, then it gets
planted for good and it doesn't get cut down and it gets to live the
rest of its life as a tree planted in the earth. Hooray, that's
pretty good. That's right. Yeah, that's good. Yeah, there are
a lot of people had live trees as I just I can't get excited about
the plastic ones and the metal ones. And a matter of fact, I
remember somebody there was a year and I don't even know if they still make
them, there was a run on metal trees. You know, they made
amount of aluminum and stuff. And of course you put the electric lights up
there, and if there's a shorten the line, you touch the tree.
So it's like having the electric fence around the cow pasture. People love to
go up, eh, what's this? No, nope, nope, nope.
There is a replacement for the electric car. Evs are going to be
replaced. Are you excited to learn how they're going to be replaced? Lenan
On presenting ed Soel twenty twenty three. Yes, boys and girls, moms
and dads, grandmas and grandpasons and nunckles. There is a move afoot to
stop making electric cars and power them on hydrogen. What could go wrong with
that? Hydrogen is much friendlier for the environment, supposedly. Yes, it's
a fabulous way for you to get into a car and have it blow up,
that is, if you don't take care of it the right way.
And so that's why I called it the Edsel of twenty twenty three. There
are people, the car dealers around the country that have floor planned electric vehicles
and are getting stuck with them, moving them to California in places where people
want to buy them. But I thought it was pretty interesting. I have
to talk to Nick Miles about that when the next time he visits with us.
And there's also the cars that are being made that are being sold.
The car dealers are being now kind of koi s always says that a good
word KOI. They're just they are telling people quietly that there may be a
problem with electric vehicles and that's why you know they do it quietly, but
they're covering their butts that way. You'll see if you've bought an electric vehwer
you've signed a more detailed statement. When you buy the bill of sale has
more info in it. You agree to DA DA So anyway, there's a
letter that went into Joe Biden yesterday from thirty eight hundred and eighty two car
dealers asking that the administration stop or at least slow down the regulations that mandate
the production and distribution of electric vehicles because the customers don't want them. Hello
ding ding ding ding ding. Now there are people in states where there's lots
of credit being given for electric vehicles, like here in Massachusetts. I think
you get seventy five hundred dollars or ninety five hundred dollars. I think is
a federal credit that may be equal to that as well. So people are
buying the cars even if they don't like them, because they'll save on their
taxes. Yeah, but then they'll lose that when they go to sell the
car because by the time they go to sell, let's they only keep it
a couple of years because the seven year life of those batteries will pretty much
make the car value less, maybe keep it for seven years. Well,
that's what a lot of the people who are buying evs are having trouble with,
even before they try to sell it. It just seems like the battery
and the whole charging system, that's where all of the flaws are, and
those are the troubles that most people have. What kind of a country do
we live in where an agency of the government, in this case, the
EPA, this is a proposal from then from them, it does, but
it doesn't. It says you will, and then well you really they don't
have to. That is impose a limit on the number of internal combustion engines.
They've done. That's the idea comes from California, where they have imposed
and I'm betting this is going to go to the California Supreme Court and it'll
go to the United State Supreme Court where they will lose, because how do
you tell people in a free country that they aren't free to buy the kind
of car that they want to drive. Huh, where does it say that
you can do that? Then all these proposed pollution requirements that carmakers don't like
them either, mostly because they have to retool plants, and people are already
showing huge resistance to having to have an electric car. I want an electric
car. I don't want an electric car, and one of the reasons I
don't want them is because they're very expensive. You know, people don't have
to buy an gasoline. Right. Get the report from General Motors that has
the focus on evs and why they have postponed their lineup there is, let's
see, I think they have scheduled about a twelve billion dollars investment. Excuse
me. In the EV Hertz says, maybe we shouldn't buy so many of
these electric cars for our fleet. And the Tesla in most places when you
trade it in unless you buy another Tesla, you think that Ford's going to
be taking in trades on a Tesla. You right. According to a study
done by the Texas Public Policy Foundation, after they accounted for all of the
hidden costs that are involved in owning an electric vehicle, the price is actually
well, when you look at what you pay for gasoline. Everybody's groaning about
that after going and being in California, good deal. It's two bucks a
gallon more out there than it is anywhere else. That's just because of the
inefficiency the way they run the state. But in terms of people say well,
I'm going to buy an electric car and they have to buy gasoline.
Well, when you're all done, this public policy foundation has gone and yeah
they were funded by the gas company, so Exonomobile Chevron funded this. So
is the result questionable? It may be a little slanted, but if it
isn't seventeen dollars a gallon that's the equivalent of owning an electric car, then
it's phil my fourteen dollars a gallon you'd be paying if you were. It's
the equivalent of what it's going to charge you here or there, or what
it cost what the charge is for a charge, if you will. And
this is because of what it costs the electric grid that we have now and
going forward. Yeah, they have great intentions, they being the government,
environmental groups et cetera, et cetera, et cetera, to get us off
of our dependency on fossil fuels. But that doesn't mean that they are able
to do it. That's the question. Yeah, you know me, I
get off on this toote about electric cars frequently because I don't think they're good
in many in most ways thank you very much. Our focus here as we
look at some of the trending items. It's been a while since you heard
or thought much, at least from my vantage point, I don't remember hearing
much about Demi Lovado for a while. But she's got a holiday special coming
out, and there are a lot of interesting people that are going to be
on it. Would you describe her as a punk rock star? Is that?
What is the approblem handle for her? I believe Demmy is a little
bit more of a pop punk like marriage of the two. Who else would
be an example of something of that sort. Avril Lavine comes to mind.
I see, Okay, all right, well, anyway, let's find out.
It'd be good to know what's going on with this festive holiday show and
to get caught up on what Demi's doing. I'm sure that among all of
the other bits and piece of information, Jay will be on top of it.
She actually have Christmas music in her repertoire. Jay, But what was
the one they did way back in the day of like the Disney Channel years.
What was the Paul McCartney one Wonderful Christmas Time? Yeah? All right,
So anyway, if you want to enjoy ringing the Holiday with Jimmie Levata.
There will be a lot of Christmas this weekend and going forward, lots
of movies, lots of TV shows, lots of special music, that sort
of thing. I thought she was older in this she only had thirty one.
Huh. Very Yeah. I think most people who come from Disney or
even Nickelodeon, the child stars, they've been around for so long that we
always feel like there much been around for so long. Yeah, a lot
of life to have been lived. But this will be fun because of course
it's going to be some music, but then also getting together with celebrity friends
doing different things. I believe, baking cookies with pairs Hilton, oh y
jojo exactly who I think of when I think of a cooker in the kitchen,
I think of Paris Hilton. Yep, maybe not, but at any
rate. Right, Oh, I see that Haley Baldwin who is married to
Justin Bieber, Right, she's going to be on Yeah, we'll be on
it too. How are they getting along the Bieber's I don't see too.
Yeah, I mean I'm not really sure. I don't see too much of
it in the news other than whatever they go out and about in the dichotomy
of the outfits they pick, like she's always super dressed up and he's always
super dressed down. There you go. A very Demi holiday special will be
streaming on the Rogue Coup channel starting December the eighth for those of you who
are following, and we'll be excited by that. I'm Greg I'm sixty eight
years old. I grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, major in business administration.
I do motivational speaking in addition to substitute teaching. Part of the reasons
for my motivational speaking is I kind of feel like I have a calling or
giving back to the younger generation. You know, the golden rule is doing
to others you'd have them doing to you. My wife, Wanda, as
a senior flight attendant. She's been flying for over thirty years. We do
laugh quite a bit. I think most adults will start realizing that they don't
recall things as quickly as they used to, or they don't remember things as
vividly as they once did. I've been taking previagen for about three years now.
People say to me periodical, man, you got a memory like an
alephant. It's really really helped me tremendously provagen healthier brain, better life.

I was thinking about you, Jay and how important you are to the lifestyle,
to the thinking of people who listen to this program. You certainly influenced
me. You and Jennifer and Victoria too, all the ladies that I've had
over the years, Hillary Kramer, Nancy Skinner, Mary Beale, go back
through a list of people who have been on the air, but you,
because of I guess maybe who you are and what your ethic is are I
think, what was it yesterday, the day before I asked you about Gloria
steinem and whether she was still alive? That was? Was that that was
the last couple of days, right, I was thinking about for some reason
that we get off into a subtle conversation about Oh that was Jennifer had that
conversation, yeah, and female empowerment. Yeah, okay, So I was
thinking to the obvious question here is what makes you confident? What makes a
woman confident? And I'm talking about feminine wins you're now sharing it and being
able as a character, the strength and determined and YadA YadA. Now,
when I asked this question about a man, Nope, I don't think it
probably would because it doesn't. I have always been a fan of strong women.
I think there's something very I don't mean to sound goofy, but there's
something that's kind of an aphrodisiac in someone who has a strong physical presence and
a mental presence and just yeah, right, yeah, exactly. And I
don't know how you define feminine energy. For me, it's a combination of
all kinds of things. And I don't know what do you think makes a
woman confident? What is the in your mind? If I were to say,
Jay Kirshner, what makes not you but somebody a friend of yours,
maybe your mother? What do you think makes a woman in her capacity to
be her? We use the term true self, I suppose here as I
think acceptance. Really, I think acceptance goes hand in hand with confidence because
you accept who you are, you accept what you are, You accept your
strengths, you accept your faults, Confidence is not afraid to ask for help.
Confidence is not afraid to ask questions. And I think that accepting the
fact that you are allowed to ask questions goes with it accepting that you like
with body and everything, except you don't have to be necessarily vain or a
narcissist or anything. But if you accept your body for the strengths that it
has, and even accept the downfalls, I think that that's a big step
towards confidence. All Right, they heard it, ladies and gentleman. I
don't have to add anything to that. My question didn't deserve an answer from
me. It deserved an answer from Jay. And there it is encapsulated,
very very very very well. You know what I'm finding, and knows you.
I'm not a big Christmas shopper, as you know, but in going
to the stores, I'm seeing a lot of especially the smaller local stores that
I happen to spend more time in than the big box stores, there are
incentives. It's subtle, but I wonder if other people have noticed that this
year that cash, you know the old expression cash is king. There are
stores that are offering further discounts if you pay in cash now and evenless you're
adulted. You know that that is if you're a small store operator, you
want to have the cash because you can put it in your pocket. You
don't have to pay taxes on it as long as you don't run it through
the register. But if you're running through the register, there's a record of
it, and so then you're held responsible for it. But I found it
interesting just to look at and see how many locals there's a hardware store that
I've seen touting it. I've seen drug one of my I see. I
don't go to the big box stores here. I have a little pharmacy that
I go to that has three stores, and the hardware store has two stores.
And you know that kind of stuff. So you see it in the
local pizza joint. But they always are saying, gosh, pizza sells more.
You realize, more pizza gets sold to talk about Christmas. More pizza
gets sold between now and the first of January and the rest of the year
put together. I find that fat. No, it goes up to the
super Bowl. Sorry, from now until the Super Bowl, more pizza is
sold then, and it probably holds for other snacks too, but more for
pizza. And then how many of you ordered a pizza last night? How
many of you saw an ad a national ad for like Dominoes, or a
local ad for some You know, we have a famous pizza. It's called
Famous Pizza here in Saxonville, and they have the best. Now I'm I've
gotten off onto the cauliflower crust. Oh you make it. It's good.
There's no gluten of it. The endous ahab there's cheeses and stuff. Faba
you love. So here's the story that I found sadr the It was a
captive elephant. You know a lot of people are trying to to release the
elephants, bring him back to their native habitat. This is this. This
elephant was defined as the world's saddest elephant. He was in the Manila Zoo
for twenty three years, and the veterinarian said that she had developed cancer.
You know, we always think about cancer as being a human thing, but
dogs develop it. I've had cows with cancer, and here was this big,
beautiful elephant. There's something about elephants that gets me right in my heart.
There's something about seeing some poaching sob that shoots an elephant and stands over.
I want to shoot him anyway. So this, this was the only
captive elephant in this country, lived alone in the zoo for Deggie. You
can't do that. Elephants are not You can't have animals. You know.
I have a dog that's my dog, but she's kind of like a human.
You know. I don't need another dog for her. But most of
the people that I know that have dogs want to have more than one.
You have your dog and good companion for your children, but have you ever
had two at the same time. I probably have the only dog that doesn't
like other dogs. Oh there you are, all right? So a moment
of silence for this lovely, lovely, lovely elephant there and the humans that
kept Molly, Yeah, captured in solitude for decades on top of decades also
in the dead zone, he said, sounding like, oh no, it's
not on the Good Day program. Apparently one person was killed. Military aircraft
crashed into the sea near Japan. This is the northern coast of Japan.
Coast Guard confirming that they had the information about the crash near Yakarshima Island,
one hundred and thirty miles south of Kyushu. I don't know where any of
these places are, but just maybe somebody does. These are training exercises.
These are a lot of the stuff is classified, so you don't really know
what they were doing up there anyway. But there was another. Wasn't there
another accident where a plane crashed into the sea a week or so ago?
Wasn't it in Hawaii? Oh? Yeah, there was one in Hawaii.
Everybody was fortunately okay in that. They got all right in that one.
Yeah, all right. Here's another one from the dead Zone. A groom
at his bride and her family wedding reception just hours after they got married.
Here, I now pronounce you man and wife. And then the coroner comes
in and says, I now pronounce you all dead. This guy, he
is obviously something really wrong here. After the wedding reception is over, he
leaves the reception. The groom comes back into the reception room with a gun,
kills his wife, kills her mother, kills her sister, kills another
guest, and then he kills himself. Anybody know why? Nope, nobody
knows why. So you know this is and I thought it was interesting.
Here in New England, the Boston papers have this this morning, the story
about the yellow flag law up in Maine. Remember a couple of weeks ago
that mass shooting in Lewistown, two different locations, right, yep, right,
So now there's a law in Maine that restricts access to guns during a
mental health crisis, and the use of this has gone way, way,
way up. The state Attorney General says that the number of reports up thirty
percent of all weapons. That is, people have been reported who have guns
apparently, and they you know, they're who knows whether they ought to have
or not. Now is this one of those things big brother, like the
tax guy. If you see her, you know, see something, say
something. I don't know, but you can imagine how people are going to
react after all of this shooting, these children and adults. So they have
the yellow Flag legislation, right, yeah, slow down the usage of guns,
and let's check out this confines people who have had problems to not be
able to use their guns. All right. Sounds realistic to me. So
it's great business time for Caldron. I would think the phones would be ringing

Here's something that I had this that was talking about going to Verizon making
a couple of stops at a couple of stores of the last couple of days,
and one of the things came up in our conversation with what is what
Google is doing? I don't know that you and I talked about this on
the air off the air, and I know I've talked to several people about
the Google accounts and what they're going to do. They have announced that if
you have an account that hasn't been used or signed in to for what the
last couple of years, say you later tomorrow delimated. Right, So what
about if you've got a lot of pictures, Well that's what there's Yeah,
that's what they're saying. If you have an account that you're trying to keep
but you don't really use it, make sure you sign in by December first,
starting Deceumber first, and then sign and at least once every two years.
No, that's not a big if your account. Yeah, and so
that's there. If it's if you go longer than two years, then it's
considered in an active account. I feel like if you go longer than two
months, that's in an active account. Well. The thing that bothers me
about the Google accounts and also Apple pay and all the other I forget the
passwords and so you know you got the password this, another password of that.
I don't have them written down anywhere. I suppose maybe that's my problem.
I should be smart enough to write them all down them, where do
you count exactly? Then there's always a data breach where you have to read
you a password to reset a password before you know it, every time you're
logging into your account, you're doing forget password or forgotten password, resetting a
password just to log into your account every single time. Yeah, well,
anyway, So the word to the wise here is if you value your Google
account at all and you haven't used it for a while, you better go
sign in before tomorrow. Write letters by stamps. Yeah right, exactly,
here we go, is it? So? Jay in the Wonder of her
mind posts things, sometimes statements, sometimes questions for which there are answers or
input from you, the listener. So she cleverly posted a big sign that
said good morning on it. That was it good morning, and we probably
had more response to that everybody. Okay, yeah, good morning. Jason
here says good morning from the graveyard shift because we are heard it sounds like
the haunted what is that the monster mash? Oh there was a graveyard?
Yes, right, all right, let's see here. Tina Duncan says,
good morning, love your show, Thank you, Tina, We're happy to
have you along. Here's a John Whitehead, good morning from Jackson, Tennessee.
Hello John. Debbie Selby says, good morning. We are traveling from
Arizona to Reno, kind of backward traveling. We're going to see our children
and celebrate our youngest friend child for withth perthday. That's cool. Greg donahoe
says, let's see here. Why isn't the TSO entry information there? That's
a good question. Do you have that posted? Jay? Yeah, we'll
put it on social media. Yeah, So if you haven't, do we
have it or we're going to put it up there, so we have it,
I'll put it. Yeah, all right. And for those of you
who are wondering, well we're talking, Yeah, Greg, thank you.
You can be the assistant program director of the Good Day program. You don't
always remember the you know, don't always remember what's what. When I was
talking, Jeff said, I loved the Paul McCartney story on the plane I
have. I've told that story number of times. And what he's referring to
is me traveling on the Concorde across from London to New York a number of
years ago, and I sat next to McCartney and we talked the whole way
over about his career, my career, his children, you know that kind
of stuff. It was a great conversation. He's a very very good guy.
So anyway, let's see who else has said I would have blacked out,
like after I was done talking to me, I would have been like,
what just happened? I don't remember any of that suddenly, yeah,
oh well, the most fun when we got off the plane, he was
greeted by you know, the British Air was greeter as a young lady who
came over to me said will you ask Paul McCartney if I can have his
his autograph? And I said no, but I'll bring you over to him
and I'll introduce you to him and you can ask him yourself. So that's
what she did. Anyway, thank you for your response. As always on
