One of 4 00:00:13,279 --> 00:00:22,039 the best examples of Elvis and the variety of tonal things that he approached with 5 00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:30,600 such a plum is that how to look out for sens he was. Elvis 6 00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:35,679 Presley passed away on this date in nineteen seventy seven, and for the last 7 00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:40,520 three or four days year a Good Day as sort of a run up to 8 00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:45,960 this day in which we talk a whole lot about him and what he did, 9 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:52,079 his releases, his family, he and we do this on January eighth 10 00:00:52,119 --> 00:00:57,799 two because that's his birthday. But there's something about Elvis that we all find. 11 00:00:58,359 --> 00:01:03,520 There's something there that we can hear that we touched this kid. He 12 00:01:03,719 --> 00:01:10,799 had nothing, his family had nothing, and then he realized that he liked 13 00:01:10,799 --> 00:01:14,719 to sing and he was good at it. So he went over to Son 14 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:19,079 Records in his hometown, and as they say, the rest is history. 15 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:25,519 He had a lot of personality, that's for sure. Colorful clothing, the 16 00:01:25,599 --> 00:01:29,840 girls loved him, his hair, all of that stuff, and then when 17 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:36,120 he started to perform in public in nineteen fifty four with the first song you 18 00:01:36,159 --> 00:01:38,040 ever did was That's all Right, Mama, which was for his mother. 19 00:01:38,079 --> 00:01:42,000 It was always clear that he and his mother were very connected, very close. 20 00:01:42,879 --> 00:01:48,079 He'd had a twin brother that died at childbirth, and don't I don't 21 00:01:48,079 --> 00:01:52,239 know when he first learned that, but I think he felt very protective of 22 00:01:52,319 --> 00:01:57,239 his mother, and so you know, all of the things that he would 23 00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,439 always credit his mother, and you could tell there was a great relationship even 24 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:06,000 when he went off into the service. I remember him frankly for shows like 25 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:12,719 the Ed Sullivan Sunday Night Variety program and the audience the girls screaming, oh 26 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:19,759 my God, scram scream, scream, and he'd moved his hips around and 27 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,919 Ed Sullivan went out of his way because a lot of critics were onto Elvis 28 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:28,280 and his gyrations, and Ed Sullivan would always say he had him on his 29 00:02:28,319 --> 00:02:30,960 program all the time, Jay, and he would always say he was a 30 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:38,360 nice boy. He was really very polite, a real gentleman. And so 31 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:43,080 for I think he had three or four performances before he went into the army, 32 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:45,960 and then when he came back from the army. The first stop he 33 00:02:46,039 --> 00:02:52,159 made was on Ed Sullivan's Sunday night program, and so and then he went 34 00:02:52,199 --> 00:02:55,520 into movies and all sorts of things that all were great. He wasn't a 35 00:02:55,520 --> 00:03:00,520 great actor by any stretch of the imagination, but he had watched him on 36 00:03:00,599 --> 00:03:05,360 screen, and he enough of that presence that yeah, and so many of 37 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,400 his songs that were such hits came from a lot of these movies. Yeah. 38 00:03:08,479 --> 00:03:13,159 Yeah, And that's one of the things that we kind of like about 39 00:03:13,199 --> 00:03:17,800 that. So he passed away on this date in nineteen seventy seven. There 40 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:22,240 are all kinds of stories about it. I don't know that it's important. 41 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,280 Well, it really is a sad story because it's a conversation on the opioid 42 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:31,000 addiction of prescription pills too. He unfortunately had a drug addiction, and it 43 00:03:31,039 --> 00:03:35,159 wasn't like he was getting the street drugs or anything. They were all prescribed 44 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:39,039 from his doctor, who was also implicated in his death because of these prescriptions. 45 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:44,400 Apparently, at one point his doctor prescribed over twelve thousand pills in the 46 00:03:44,439 --> 00:03:49,800 last twenty months of Elvis's life. Like Michael Jackson and so I thought of 47 00:03:49,879 --> 00:03:53,280 two Yeah, yeah, the King of Pop and the King of Rock and 48 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:58,360 Elvis's daughter. As most people remember, Lisa Murray was married to Michael Jackson, 49 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:00,719 I think for three years at some point in time. But this was 50 00:04:00,759 --> 00:04:06,840 after Elvis had passed away. So let's fast forward or backward to nineteen sixty 51 00:04:06,919 --> 00:04:14,960 eight, when the political world assassinations, the racial strife in our country tearing 52 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:20,519 us apart. The last thing anybody was asking for was Elvis in a TV 53 00:04:20,639 --> 00:04:25,720 special because but he'd been off for a couple of years. So then NBC 54 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:32,399 got him to do a comeback special called The Singer Presents Elvis. The sponsor 55 00:04:32,519 --> 00:04:39,759 was the sewing machine Sewer Good Duck Singer Sewing Machine. And then it was 56 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:43,920 one of the first TV shows to ever be on in color, which was 57 00:04:44,199 --> 00:04:47,360 very, very important and very interesting. Another attraction he was thirty three at 58 00:04:47,399 --> 00:04:54,439 the time. I kind of think about Austin Butler in that black leather suit 59 00:04:55,000 --> 00:05:00,480 as he portrayed Elvis in the movie. And now there's this commentary reinventing elvis 60 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:06,360 sixty eight comeback, which is I think a streamer isn't on Paramount plus looks 61 00:05:06,399 --> 00:05:11,839 at the moment. There are lots of I've watched on the plane any number 62 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:15,720 of times, bits and pieces and the whole thing from that show. In 63 00:05:15,759 --> 00:05:21,120 the Hawaii show as well, they were They were great. Anyway, the 64 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:28,959 Elvis was very nervous when he started performing early on, and then after he'd 65 00:05:28,959 --> 00:05:30,920 been gone for a couple of the sixty eight come back, he was also 66 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:38,800 pretty nervous. He said, I forgot all the song lyrics, and so 67 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:42,079 they had a jam session with all of his friends and that sort of brought 68 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:46,439 it all back to him. But anyway, the fact that he had that 69 00:05:46,519 --> 00:05:53,600 black leather suit on was not an accident. Apparently was inspired by Marlon Brando 70 00:05:53,800 --> 00:06:00,480 in The Wild One. Apparently you can see that Elvis like he was obsessed 71 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:04,279 with Marlon Brando and I didn't know that he had a remember that you probably 72 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:09,639 don't remember the movie The Wild One. Brando was the star as a motorcycle 73 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:13,800 gang member in that movie. He had that leather jack. I remember my 74 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:17,720 mother said to me once when we were we passed some I probably was in 75 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:21,720 the would have been the late fifties, so I would have been let's see, 76 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:27,120 I was probably twelve years old. My mother said, when we went 77 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,120 by a group of fellas that were all the hair was all slicked back, 78 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:36,160 and they had on black leather jackets and they were riding motorcycles around. She 79 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:40,040 said, if you ever come home, or if you ever looked like that, 80 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:46,160 don't come home. That was you know, So that was a clear 81 00:06:46,199 --> 00:06:48,879 message. So I loved the Elvis after that. Man, Listen, I 82 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,519 want to be just like him. Although I never let my hair, my 83 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:56,160 mother didn't let my hair grow that line, never had a leather jacket. 84 00:06:56,199 --> 00:07:03,040 But I certainly loved his old hits and his songs and anyway, it's just 85 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:10,959 a it's a very the whole thing, the whole life and times of him. 86 00:07:11,079 --> 00:07:15,560 Anyway, there the documentary about Elvis talks about his being in Hollywood nobody 87 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:19,839 really recognizing him, so urs his later years. Yeah, if he went 88 00:07:19,839 --> 00:07:23,839 out and about and he wasn't in his usual garb and made up, and 89 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:27,439 people had no idea that they were standing right next to Elvis Presley. Yep, 90 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,759 he was very He was a very sweet guy. He was a very 91 00:07:30,759 --> 00:07:34,000 helpful guy. Gave away a lot of his money. And so when we 92 00:07:34,399 --> 00:07:39,399 talked about him today, because he passed away on this date in nineteen seventy 93 00:07:39,439 --> 00:07:44,480 seven, as Jay was saying with the forty five forty five, forty six 94 00:07:44,639 --> 00:07:48,519 years since he died. There are lots of people who have talked about the 95 00:07:49,199 --> 00:07:54,639 channel. They have an Elvis channel on Sirius XM, and there are tour 96 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:58,480 George Klein, who was very close to Elvis, was on that channel for 97 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,160 a long time till they passed away a year or so ago. But they 98 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:05,040 have archives galore of interviews that George Klein did with Elvis and the members of 99 00:08:05,079 --> 00:08:13,439 his family. And then there's the fast forward emphasis on Lisa Marie, who 100 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:18,839 was born I think in nineteen sixty eight, wasn't she that was with Yeah, 101 00:08:18,879 --> 00:08:24,959 and so she had certainly a very strong influence on his life, he 102 00:08:24,199 --> 00:08:30,680 on her and her on him, it seemed. And then she passed what 103 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,679 was it last year? When did she die? She had the same thing 104 00:08:33,759 --> 00:08:37,480 she had her she had a heart attack, but was she on drugs I've 105 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:45,200 forgotten what she battled with addiction? And then she had also lost her son. 106 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:48,519 When did Riley still had a brother, And I can't remember when he 107 00:08:48,639 --> 00:08:54,240 died, Yeah, yeah, it was earlier on though, I think so. 108 00:08:54,320 --> 00:09:00,519 Anyway, he was at home. His girlfriend at the town was ginger 109 00:09:00,639 --> 00:09:05,960 Alden that was one of the other things it was interesting about Lisa. I'm 110 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:11,799 sutly not Lisa, but Priscilla and Elvis they stayed close no matter who they 111 00:09:11,799 --> 00:09:13,799 were with. As a matter of fact, didn't we talk a month or 112 00:09:13,799 --> 00:09:22,600 so ago about Elvis listening on the phone when Priscilla in the sack? Yeah, 113 00:09:22,759 --> 00:09:28,039 right with Robert Kardashian. Yeah, yeah, exactly, yep. So 114 00:09:28,399 --> 00:09:33,919 Elvis and his legacy, that's what's really important here now, the music, 115 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:39,440 the vibes that you get when anybody says Elvis, you know, nobody confuses 116 00:09:39,519 --> 00:09:43,360 him, although I don't. I'm not sure. I don't know Elvis Duran. 117 00:09:45,399 --> 00:09:48,320 He's a popular radio personality. I don't know my other thought. I 118 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:52,240 mean, he even went to Costello Elvis Costello. Yeah, that's true. 119 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:58,879 Yep. So you know that's not it's not a common name. And people 120 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:03,080 always think that Elvis was the first Elvis, and whether the others were named 121 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:07,720 for him. Elvis Duran, I think is in his early sixties, So 122 00:10:07,759 --> 00:10:13,840 would that have been possible. Well maybe maybe that's not important. I don't 123 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,960 know anybody named Elvis, do you. I know, nobody named and when 124 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:18,840 I hear Elvis, and I think about Yeah, I got I mean not 125 00:10:18,919 --> 00:10:24,840 personally, but no. Yeah, right, So anyway, the fans are 126 00:10:24,879 --> 00:10:31,480 still there, the supporters are still there, the activity, the legacy at 127 00:10:31,519 --> 00:10:35,879 Grace Land, and the thing's going in Memphis, and the movies that are 128 00:10:35,919 --> 00:10:39,240 all over the place, you know, all the time that estate. As 129 00:10:39,279 --> 00:10:43,720 we were talking about, with the passing of Lisa Marie and all of the 130 00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:48,000 hooplah about Riley Kio, I think I talked about her because of the articles 131 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:52,639 in Vanity Fair this month about her. She now controls the Elvis Presley estate, 132 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:58,000 even though Priscilla sort of runs its still, and she's the one that 133 00:10:58,039 --> 00:11:03,159 turned Grace into the museum. It is, yeah, right, exactly. 134 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:05,080 One of the things that's most eerie about it is to be able to walk 135 00:11:05,159 --> 00:11:07,879 Have you ever been to Graceland? I haven't now, all right, For 136 00:11:07,919 --> 00:11:11,559 those of you who have been there, you know exactly what I'm talking about. 137 00:11:11,879 --> 00:11:13,519 When you walk around to the back. There was a there was an 138 00:11:13,519 --> 00:11:20,840 addition put on to Graceland for all of the records, the memorabilia, the 139 00:11:20,159 --> 00:11:24,159 radio studio is in there that you know, that sort of thing that was 140 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:31,279 sort of brushed up and brought up to to modern times. But there's so 141 00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:35,679 many musical memories in there. And then you go out the back door and 142 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:39,399 you can see the crypt. Not well, it's a it's a like a 143 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:45,720 little little burial plot where his mother's buried. There's a brass covering to that, 144 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:50,480 and his father. He's there with them. I don't know whether his 145 00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:52,919 brother that died still born. I can't remember that he's there or not, 146 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:58,600 whether they put him there, But that's where everybody in the family wants to 147 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:03,559 be buried, and so it makes sense. I remember on the twenty fifth 148 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:09,559 anniversary of Elvis's passing, Lisa Marie paid tribute to him with a recording in 149 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:13,960 which he said, quote, I wanted you to know that I haven't forgotten 150 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:18,840 you made me. I love you. You're still lovely. You were lovely 151 00:12:18,879 --> 00:12:24,919 then. And so there was that stuff that she didn't Obviously she didn't know 152 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:26,440 her father. She was well, she was nine, she did she was 153 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:30,320 aware of what was going on. She was nine when he died. Yeah, 154 00:12:30,399 --> 00:12:35,320 right, So every year today, or if you had been there last 155 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:39,279 night, you would have seen the candlelight vigil. Thirty thousand people usually come 156 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:48,080 up every year from all around the country to participate just because of this guy 157 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:54,120 is Aura was so unbelievable. So anyway, those of you who are in 158 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,240 a manner of speaking friends of I'm a fan, and I feel like I'm 159 00:12:56,279 --> 00:13:00,799 a friend too. I feel like I knew the guy. Right. So 160 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:05,279 we remember fondly in music, the times and the life of Elvis Presley. 161 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:09,039 Today, right now in our focus is another great musician, not perhaps is 162 00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:13,240 great, but certainly has had impact over the course of his career. And 163 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:18,519 that's Lionel Richie, who apparently had a problem with a concert. And so 164 00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:22,120 we're going to talk about what went wrong. What went wrong? Brought to 165 00:13:22,159 --> 00:13:26,159 you, by the way, by Progressive Insurance insurance that you can get for 166 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:28,960 your motor side of your boat's, RBS cars, you name it, they'll 167 00:13:30,039 --> 00:13:33,480 protect it. See how much you can say by dialing eight hundred Progressive or 168 00:13:33,519 --> 00:13:37,159 you can go on line to Progressive dot com. You like Lionel Richie, 169 00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:43,279 j Yeah, he's pretty good. Lionel earth Win and Fire Yeah, yeah, 170 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:50,759 they're good. Combo. Yes, Okay, So apparently Lionel Richie was 171 00:13:52,159 --> 00:13:56,639 a little bit late for his concert on Monday. There was a couple of 172 00:13:56,720 --> 00:14:01,559 days late. The concert supposed to happen on Saturday. Weather kept him from 173 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:05,759 flying in, so they postponed it to Monday, and there was already a 174 00:14:05,759 --> 00:14:09,960 show scheduled for Monday in Connecticut, which they've moved to Wednesday. So in 175 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:16,720 that circumstance, imagine that people with the tickets and how they get their come 176 00:14:16,799 --> 00:14:20,440 upans, if you will. It was supposed to begin at one point in 177 00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:22,440 time, as you said in New York, was at seven o'clock or eight 178 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:26,799 o'clock, and he was still in the area. He was in an airplane 179 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:31,559 someplace. He apologized a thousand times for having to make the change, but 180 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:35,440 it really was people who get upset about this sort of thing under these conditions 181 00:14:35,919 --> 00:14:39,360 need to calm down to get a life, because this was not anything that 182 00:14:39,399 --> 00:14:41,919 he could do anything about. Well, it's okay to be upset when in 183 00:14:43,399 --> 00:14:46,120 certain circumstances, because it's not always just a concert that's down the street from 184 00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:50,320 your house. A lot of people travel, like some people probably traveled into 185 00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:54,840 New York to spend the weekend and now like specifically for the show. Now 186 00:14:54,879 --> 00:14:58,200 they're at the travel expenses hotel, and then they probably can't even it'send the 187 00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:01,879 Monday concert because they have to get back to work. So it's okay to 188 00:15:01,919 --> 00:15:05,360 still be frustrated, but things will still happen, and it's a safety measure. 189 00:15:05,399 --> 00:15:07,879 He said that he tried to even bribe the pilot to fly, and 190 00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:09,919 the pilot was like, I want to be able to see my wife tomorrow. 191 00:15:11,039 --> 00:15:13,879 The answer is absolutely not. We are not flying in this weather, 192 00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,679 in these conditions, and so he just kind of pushed everything back, moved 193 00:15:16,679 --> 00:15:20,039 to the Connecticut showback a couple of days. This New York show, he 194 00:15:20,279 --> 00:15:22,600 just moved back a couple of days. And he even addressed it and was 195 00:15:22,639 --> 00:15:26,840 like, I understand and a lot of people were upset, and I am 196 00:15:26,919 --> 00:15:28,080 so sorry. I was out of my control. But we are going to 197 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:31,639 make up for it. We're going to give you a crazy good show. 198 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:33,759 And he did, and for everybody who was able to make it, it 199 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,919 was a great show. So how did they how did the earth wind and 200 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,840 fire part of it? Did they still perform for the audience in that night? 201 00:15:41,919 --> 00:15:46,240 Or because Lima couldn't go because a combo tour with the two Yeah yeah, 202 00:15:46,279 --> 00:15:50,000 it was completely scrapped for Saturday and pushed to money. So they did 203 00:15:50,039 --> 00:15:52,440 the full concert a couple of days a couple of days later, right, 204 00:15:52,799 --> 00:15:58,919 So that's it. The interesting thing. But I just saw that one of 205 00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:02,879 my favorite groups of all time to Varus, which is a Massachusetts group. 206 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:07,480 They have such great there's something about them. And I don't go to many 207 00:16:07,519 --> 00:16:11,559 concerts, and certainly not by myself much, but I'm going to go to 208 00:16:11,639 --> 00:16:15,600 this one. And yeah, if you're all hyped up about going, you're 209 00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,639 all excited about going, you can't go. It is. It's kind of 210 00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:26,960 upsetting. So anyway, all it worked out. Okay, what is your 211 00:16:26,039 --> 00:16:33,320 passion and has it become your purpose? What is your passion for your family? 212 00:16:33,399 --> 00:16:37,600 Perhaps, passion for your work, passion for something like golf, whatever 213 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:42,559 it is. That was my father's purpose. His purpose in life for the 214 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:48,240 last forty years of his life was playing golf. And so I wonder my 215 00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:52,600 passion is my family and my radio program, my farm. Those are all 216 00:16:52,679 --> 00:17:00,639 things that give me purpose. And I find that often people, if they're 217 00:17:00,679 --> 00:17:06,200 really connected to their passions, they are of service. You know, we 218 00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:10,680 were talking about this fellow that got caught stealing from the government. He was 219 00:17:10,759 --> 00:17:15,039 providing meals and camps experience for kids in the summer. He just overinflated the 220 00:17:15,079 --> 00:17:21,079 idea was good. He just let it get a little out of hand. 221 00:17:21,839 --> 00:17:26,559 But I think that if you settle into something in your life that you really 222 00:17:26,599 --> 00:17:29,720 like to do, and I just asked you to think about it, what 223 00:17:29,759 --> 00:17:33,279 do you like to Some people love to read, some people love to go 224 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:37,200 to movies, some people love to drive. And whatever it is, it's 225 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:41,079 fine. Share it with us. That's good, right, share share for 226 00:17:41,519 --> 00:17:45,119 all the way a matter of facts, probably a good thing. Maybe for 227 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:48,400 a quick road trip story. Eight five, five, nine, nine nine. 228 00:17:48,559 --> 00:17:52,000 Dug is the number not to be confused with the number for our lives 229 00:17:52,079 --> 00:17:56,119 Vegas trips. Right as we seem to get dug and veigled into all of 230 00:17:56,119 --> 00:18:02,680 our our phone connections, just style some random numbers In the last four dug, 231 00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:06,720 you'll reach someone. That's it right. You can reach us that way. 232 00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:11,720 By the way, the two free nights in Las Vegas going strong eight 233 00:18:11,799 --> 00:18:15,160 hundred four one nine Dug isn't know where you call, no matter where you 234 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:18,039 are, no matter what you do, no matter what's your stage in life. 235 00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:22,400 This is a good fun time. Eight hundred four one nine three six 236 00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:29,400 eight four You another use of dug. We got it. The The Little 237 00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:36,240 League World series has decided to remove bunk bits. One of the players fell 238 00:18:36,279 --> 00:18:41,200 out of a bunk bit, so now they're going to permanently remove them from 239 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:44,519 this event. Yeah, do you remember that last year? Wasn't that just 240 00:18:44,599 --> 00:18:47,799 last year? Yeah? I think it was. I just don't get why 241 00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:52,240 these decisions that are made randomly. It's nothing more fun than sleeping in a 242 00:18:52,279 --> 00:18:56,440 bunk bit, got it. The kid was very badly hurt at a fractured 243 00:18:56,480 --> 00:19:03,319 skull, a brain bleed, that sort of thing. But they say out 244 00:19:03,319 --> 00:19:07,759 of an abundance of caution. What probably they're worried about is the fact that 245 00:19:07,799 --> 00:19:11,200 they could be sued by people for this sort of thing. This is not 246 00:19:11,319 --> 00:19:17,279 a denigration for bunk beds. I happen to have always loved bunk beds. 247 00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:19,240 Frankly, I think sleeping on the top of a bunk bed is very cool. 248 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:22,880 My grandson has a bunk bid and he loves it. I think you 249 00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:27,000 just to add. But there are not his bunk bed. There is a 250 00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:30,599 like I'm not a there's a wall, not a wall, but there is 251 00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:36,960 those higher rails. Oh yeah, well it's one of those things of And 252 00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:40,640 they're not saying bunk beds are bad it's just if anybody wants to have them 253 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:44,200 in their home. But they're there to play baseball. It's the Little League 254 00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:48,880 World Series, and they're taking care of all of these young athletes. And 255 00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:52,640 if it's just safer to not have them in bunk beds in this given circumstance, 256 00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:56,160 yep, go for it, understood. He nearly I mean, he 257 00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:59,720 nearly died. The rest of his life is not going to be the same. 258 00:19:59,759 --> 00:20:04,000 He's twelve years old. Yep, that was thankfully he survived, but 259 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:08,960 he is so the family and this is I think what the bottom line is. 260 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,680 Here we go a lawyer got a hold of the player's family and they 261 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:18,480 sued Little League Baseball. They alleged the beds who are not safe, and 262 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:22,400 so the Little League didn't say anything about it, but they got, you 263 00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:26,599 know, something out of the lawsuit. So there's always a legal thing, 264 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:30,400 there's always a lawyer standing by. And speaking of that, here's this group 265 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:38,359 that's suing targets. Did you see this the shareholder losses that have come about, 266 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,640 as I guess a result of the boycott, not guess, I know 267 00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:47,599 the Pride Month displays, remember that that took place? Was it really it 268 00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:53,519 was earlier when Pride Month was that may I think and so people who are 269 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,400 on the right side of things, I don't mean with a capital R, 270 00:20:56,480 --> 00:21:04,200 with a small R. This group called America First Legal As sued Target, 271 00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:10,720 saying the Target misled their investors when they said that it was monitoring risks related 272 00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:17,640 to the diversity programs that they had. This mostly was a focus on the 273 00:21:17,839 --> 00:21:22,200 gay pride displays that they had, that sort of thing. And so here's 274 00:21:22,279 --> 00:21:29,799 this investor named Brian Craig, who is a Florida resident. He bought a 275 00:21:29,839 --> 00:21:34,200 lot of shares of Target in April of last year, and now the value 276 00:21:34,279 --> 00:21:41,279 of the holdings has gone down substantially, and so he has sued Target. 277 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:47,000 You got to wonder how far this sort of thing goes. The lawsuit itself 278 00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:53,480 argues that Target's loss in market capitalization is a direct and predictable result of their 279 00:21:53,559 --> 00:22:03,759 calculated decision to promote sexualized material that children. This was. They said the 280 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:11,880 family themed LGBTQ Pride items were false and misleading, and it caused shareholders to 281 00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:21,000 unknowingly support excuse me, the management and their misuse of investor funds to serve 282 00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:25,039 there. This is a man, This is gonna be a stretch, right, 283 00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:27,480 yeah, And this was Pride Month, and have you did you see 284 00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:32,079 any of these videos of people like actually in Target and complaining about it, 285 00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:36,839 And more often than not they weren't even in the children's section when they were 286 00:22:36,839 --> 00:22:38,640 taking the video and a lot of this stuff. And then for some who 287 00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:42,160 were it wasn't even that there was any pride items. They just had rainbows 288 00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:45,319 on it because guess what, kids love rainbows, so do adults. And 289 00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:49,640 it has nothing to do with LGBTQ all the time. This is really this 290 00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:56,160 is This shows you a couple of things. It's very divisive and not necessarily. 291 00:22:56,200 --> 00:23:00,519 I mean, some of this stuff that is talked about it in league 292 00:23:00,599 --> 00:23:06,200 with these sort of pride displays. Some of the things about at twelve thirteen 293 00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:08,480 years old, people are questioning their sexuality and do they want to be a 294 00:23:08,519 --> 00:23:14,440 male and maybe that stuff isn't yeah, yeah, sexuality and general identity. 295 00:23:14,799 --> 00:23:17,000 But they put all but a lot of people that don't know any better, 296 00:23:17,279 --> 00:23:21,839 Jay, put all of this stuff together. It's all one big unhappy and 297 00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:23,480 you said, you said it so well, just now people who don't know 298 00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:26,680 any better put it all together, and people who don't know any better, 299 00:23:26,759 --> 00:23:29,039 could take the time to learn a little bit more, but rather they would 300 00:23:29,039 --> 00:23:33,279 just be hateful. And think about how many people in this conservative legal group 301 00:23:33,279 --> 00:23:36,960 who issuing Target over the prime month collection. How many of those people have 302 00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:41,079 children or family members or close friends who are members of the lgbt Q community 303 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:45,920 who won't come out to them because they're terrified of being shunned by the people 304 00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:49,640 that are supposed to love them unconditionally. Well, there's a more practical side 305 00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:53,480 to this as well, and it has to do with mining stock. These 306 00:23:53,519 --> 00:23:59,160 people are just acts grinders. They're looking for trouble. They're looking to see 307 00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:03,480 if they can cap lies on something that as you described it, some of 308 00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:07,640 the things may have been moderately controversial, but we need to get a life 309 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:12,039 here. There's there's so much going on in the life and times of all 310 00:24:12,079 --> 00:24:17,880 of us that's more important than this. Why would you focus on something so 311 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:26,799 negative and so destructive? And by the way stocks go up and stocks go 312 00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:30,240 down, that's the nature of the stock market, not of Target. There 313 00:24:30,279 --> 00:24:36,759 are things that influence the value of stock. Look what happened to the stock 314 00:24:36,839 --> 00:24:42,240 the Anheuser Busch stock after another one of these was the Dylan MULRONEYO was that? 315 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:47,359 Isn't that that? Dylan mul mulvany. Yeah, So there's that, 316 00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:52,240 But I think most of the time when you purchase stock, I was looking 317 00:24:52,279 --> 00:24:57,559 at something from somebody who purchased Zoom stocks the back a couple of years ago. 318 00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:02,000 Zoom was at one hundred bucks. Okay, great. When COVID came 319 00:25:02,039 --> 00:25:06,599 around, the value of Zoom went to five hundred dollars a share. But 320 00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:11,599 then COVID was over and people stopped using Zoom as much as it did, 321 00:25:11,079 --> 00:25:15,119 and so now the stock has gone back to about one hundred bucks. They 322 00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:21,039 moral of that story, boys and girls is when you buy stocks, you 323 00:25:21,039 --> 00:25:25,160 can expect it to go up down sideways, and no one who owns stock 324 00:25:25,279 --> 00:25:29,599 is exempt. It goes up, it goes down. I bought some stuff 325 00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:33,160 a year or so ago, put a few bucks into a crypto fund, 326 00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:38,039 and it's destroyed. But will it go back up again? Who knows. 327 00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:41,079 That was a choice that I made, like a choice that you make. 328 00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:47,200 So if you bought Target stock and it went down because of these characters that 329 00:25:47,319 --> 00:25:52,759 wanted, that's your problem. Frankly, I don't know they're gonna get anywhere 330 00:25:52,759 --> 00:25:57,000 with a suit other than the fact the lawyers who get rich charging this group 331 00:25:57,559 --> 00:26:03,359 whatever their fee is. So targets lawyers will have to defend themselves. And 332 00:26:03,039 --> 00:26:07,759 you know the genius movements of so I just I don't. But what happens 333 00:26:07,839 --> 00:26:11,240 the thing? If it's not your cup of tea, don't buy it. 334 00:26:11,279 --> 00:26:15,000 If if a store has something that you just approve of, then don't go 335 00:26:15,039 --> 00:26:18,480 to that store. That's it. Don't buy it, don't listen to it, 336 00:26:18,519 --> 00:26:22,920 don't watch it. That's it. Bottom line, all right, New 337 00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:26,920 York Mercantile Exchange, looking at the price of oil Future's law. As we're 338 00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:30,359 in the stock market, I might as well go down this road for a 339 00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:36,359 couple more minutes, the Intercontinent Exchange. For those of you who don't know 340 00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:42,240 how this all works. The stock market, the oil market has declined this 341 00:26:42,279 --> 00:26:48,640 week because of a problem in China. It's very interesting. The Chinese keeper. 342 00:26:48,799 --> 00:26:53,160 They've been trying to push the US dollar out of the way and make 343 00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:59,119 China's yen the number one. This is just their attempt to control the world. 344 00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:03,519 And so they have a huge real estate developer that belongs to the government. 345 00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:08,240 It's called Country Gardens. The translation from Chinese to English is Chinese Garden. 346 00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:15,319 They have suspended payments on their bond obligations because they're about to go broke. 347 00:27:15,279 --> 00:27:21,240 And one of the things, there's a real property crisis in China, 348 00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:25,640 because this is something that newspapers are not reporting on. The news media is 349 00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:30,039 too busy chasing Trump around to get to the real news. But there's an 350 00:27:30,079 --> 00:27:37,319 ongoing property problem because people are out of work and they've put too much into 351 00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:41,359 this one company that's the biggest real estate outfit in China, and they're falling 352 00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:45,599 apart. So it's having really an impact on the Chinese economy. I thought 353 00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:51,680 I was interesting to note. I am Robert Strickler. My wife Joyce, 354 00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:56,039 and I have been married for fifty three years. Certainly one of the really 355 00:27:56,079 --> 00:28:00,799 important things in my life are our children and our grandchildren. I am essentially 356 00:28:00,799 --> 00:28:06,680 a writer. I've been involved in communications in the media. I've been an 357 00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:11,920 avid fly fisherman for at least forty or more years. I've been taking Privigen 358 00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:15,599 on a regular basis for at least eight years. For me, the greatest 359 00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:22,000 benefit over the years has been that Privigen seems to help me recall things and 360 00:28:22,079 --> 00:28:26,799 also think more clearly. Have a crisper ability to remember and think through things, 361 00:28:26,279 --> 00:28:33,119 and I enthusiastically recommend Privigen. It has helped me an awful lot. 362 00:28:33,799 --> 00:28:38,079 Provigen healthier brain, better life.

Social media time things that are relevant in 366 00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:57,079 the social media world. Using the devices is one of the things. Do 367 00:28:57,119 --> 00:29:02,559 you ever use QR codes? You understand how they work? Yeah, I've 368 00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:07,519 used before a lot of times. People rather than give you a website or 369 00:29:07,559 --> 00:29:11,680 anything, they have the QR code posted and you bring your your camera up 370 00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:17,279 and your camera identifies that it's a QR code, and it gives you an 371 00:29:17,279 --> 00:29:21,319 option to push to go directly to the link, and then the website comes 372 00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:27,319 up. So how do you but you're taking I'm sorry, do you take 373 00:29:27,359 --> 00:29:30,920 a picture of it with you don't actually take the picture. You just pull 374 00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:33,480 your camera up like you're going to take a picture, and your phone, 375 00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:37,319 your device will identify that's a QR code. And then a like a link 376 00:29:37,519 --> 00:29:41,960 kind of button thing comes up and you just hit that when with COVID and 377 00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:45,319 a lot of people are doing away with their menus, and some of them 378 00:29:45,359 --> 00:29:48,519 still have this on the table where it is a QR code on the table 379 00:29:48,559 --> 00:29:52,839 and you just use that with your device and it brings up the restaurant's menu 380 00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:56,759 for you. Yeah, you know me, although I think I'll try and 381 00:29:56,759 --> 00:30:00,720 I'm gonna get my phone and you can will hearst this? I meanwhile, 382 00:30:00,799 --> 00:30:08,920 speaking of rehearsals, social media is still a buzz with the Zuckerberg Musk fight 383 00:30:10,559 --> 00:30:12,839 or refusal to fight or not gonna have a fight or whatever it is. 384 00:30:14,359 --> 00:30:18,640 Musk says that he isn't the one who's like a couple of thirteen year olds 385 00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:25,359 holding up the battle of the billionaires. He claimed that Zuckerberg is actually the 386 00:30:25,359 --> 00:30:32,960 one who turned down the fight over the Colosseum rome. Right, but didn't 387 00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:36,000 the Colosseum say like, hey, we never actually sent this offer. You 388 00:30:36,039 --> 00:30:38,640 are not allowed to do anything violent in the closeam anywhere right now? You 389 00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:41,599 can't do it? They cause, yeah, well, Mark Zuckerberg recently said 390 00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:45,920 that Elon Musk isn't serious about this they had everything set up, and then 391 00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:48,319 Elon Musk is like, well I have to have a surgery first, and 392 00:30:48,359 --> 00:30:51,880 all of this stuff and now, yeah, Elon's claims are I've given different 393 00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:53,680 options. Zuckerberg keeps saying no. I even said like, okay, someplace 394 00:30:53,720 --> 00:31:00,839 safe like the backyard and finger pointing galore. So see, we have this 395 00:31:02,079 --> 00:31:07,160 whole business. He I think it was Musk who said first that there was 396 00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:14,079 a fight opportunity in Rome because the city of Rome had offered up the coliseum, 397 00:31:14,079 --> 00:31:15,440 which is one of the seven Wonders of the World. Hello, I 398 00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:22,279 don't think so. And so Elon says zuck just didn't want to do it. 399 00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:26,559 He declined, and then he he said, okay, well let's go 400 00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:34,839 to Zuckerberg's backyard and excuse me, no, we'll know who the liar is 401 00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:41,599 in this when if if slash, when Mark Zuckerberg, who is wanting to 402 00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:45,319 fight in the UFC, if he has a match against an actual MMA fighter, 403 00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:47,960 then we know. Okay, he was he was not the one afraid 404 00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:51,759 of fights. No, So anyway, there's too much this is I mean, 405 00:31:51,839 --> 00:31:55,119 it's fun, but it isn't this too much fighting? I think that 406 00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:59,319 the MMA is disgusting. Frankly, all the way they beat the hell in 407 00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:04,079 boxing is disgusting. Somebody beating the hell out of another human being for sports. 408 00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:08,240 Sorry, I got no sale in that thing. This is amusing in 409 00:32:08,279 --> 00:32:12,400 the sense that you watch these two boobs go back and forth with each other, 410 00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:15,920 and you know one's trying to help muscle the other who's got more money. 411 00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:19,039 It's all that silly. Can we just put them in a house, 412 00:32:19,119 --> 00:32:22,200 like, just make it a reality show. I suppose put them in a 413 00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:24,319 house together, make it a reality show. There you go, and that's 414 00:32:24,359 --> 00:32:29,480 it, all right. And while we're here talking about these sorts of things, 415 00:32:29,519 --> 00:32:35,240 the Biden folks asking the Supreme Court to review two social media laws, 416 00:32:35,319 --> 00:32:40,640 both in Texas and Florida. They say these laws infringe on your free speech. 417 00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:46,200 These Solicitor General Is filed a brief arguing that the Supreme Court ought to 418 00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:54,039 consider the technology group net Choices suit against both Texas and Florida. They have 419 00:32:54,160 --> 00:33:00,480 run a foul of the First Amendment with the restrictions on how social platforms regulate 420 00:33:00,519 --> 00:33:05,680 moderate content. I wonder about that. The two laws are different, but 421 00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:10,400 they have the basic bottom line of being involved in content moderations what they call 422 00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:15,759 it. So what do you think about that? That'd be something to check 423 00:33:15,839 --> 00:33:19,680 on as far as Governor Abbott and de Sanders are concerned. So it's great 424 00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:22,640 business time for Caldron. I would think the phones would be ringing off the 425 00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:27,000 hook and people will be ordering nauseum. That's right.

Doug Stephen's Good Day Program with Jay Kirshner 438 00:34:20,199 --> 00:34:22,400 and my friend Warren Xtey and the host of the Pet Show. Does it 439 00:34:22,519 --> 00:34:25,920 bother you that I think you're my friend? Is that? Okay? I've 440 00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:30,239 never really asked you, but friends, you're actually the only person I admit 441 00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:37,920 that too, though. Well, Doug, who's that? All right? 442 00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:42,159 Let's talk about Hawaii and what's happened to the dogs and the animals over there, 443 00:34:42,199 --> 00:34:45,360 because there've been some horror stories and then there's been some other good stories. 444 00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:50,719 Under the circumstance, everybody wants to talk about or find out more about 445 00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:53,440 what's happened on the Big Island. And I guess dogs. I saw a 446 00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:59,880 couple of really stories about a guy who died trying to save a dog and 447 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,360 I'm not even sure the dog was his. What do you when do we 448 00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:07,000 put these pieces together, stories like this? What happens? Well, here's 449 00:35:07,039 --> 00:35:09,880 here's the deal. One of my strongest affiliate stations for over twenty years is 450 00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:15,519 Kaoi and Maui. Then on that station for umpteen years, my friend John, 451 00:35:15,519 --> 00:35:19,039 the owner a good friend, and so this past Saturday on the Pet 452 00:35:19,119 --> 00:35:23,360 Show, I had the spokesperson on it for the Maui Humane Society talking about 453 00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:27,239 their wants, their needs, what was going on there, what isn't going 454 00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:31,719 on there. It's it's one of those situations where where the devastation for both 455 00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:35,719 the people and the animals, it's just unbelievable. There's there's one story where 456 00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:38,559 a pet sitter. She was We're visiting someone's home during the day they were 457 00:35:38,599 --> 00:35:44,000 away when the fire struck. She had their two dogs. She couldn't go 458 00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:46,239 anywhere. She had no option put to jump into the ocean with the two 459 00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:50,400 dogs. And she jumped into the ocean with the two dogs. One of 460 00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:53,920 the dogs got loosen and ran off back on the land and they couldn't find 461 00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:58,079 it for days and days and days. The good news is, uh, 462 00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:00,840 it was reunited with their guardian just they covered head to toe with burns. 463 00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:06,480 The dogs there. I posted a picture on my Facebook page Facebook dot com 464 00:36:06,519 --> 00:36:09,199 slash law and pet Talk of a picture of a cat that's going to survive, 465 00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:13,280 but totally burned. So the devastations there. So here's the bottom line. 466 00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:15,719 When people ask what can I do? What can I send food. 467 00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:20,440 Can I send this? No, what you need to do is send money 468 00:36:20,639 --> 00:36:22,599 to Maui. You made send. Here's why this is not going to be 469 00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:25,719 a weekly problem. This is not going to be satisfied in a month. 470 00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:30,800 This is a long, long, long range thing that has to be taken 471 00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:32,239 care of with these animals. So the bottom line is, if you want 472 00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:37,000 to make a donation, I recommend the Maui Humane Society because I know the 473 00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:40,159 money's going directly to help the animals. But the devastation is just unbelievable. 474 00:36:40,159 --> 00:36:43,920 There's nothing they could have done. For example, I've been an advocate for 475 00:36:44,039 --> 00:36:47,119 years DOUG of people in neighborhoods. Finding a person in the neighborhood that's generally 476 00:36:47,159 --> 00:36:51,199 home during the day, works nights, a senior that knows all the different 477 00:36:51,199 --> 00:36:53,480 animals in the area that could evacuate where I live in case of an earthquake, 478 00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:58,400 tsunami. God knows what can happen. In Santa Monica, they didn't 479 00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:00,679 have that kind of time, and it was just I hear it was just 480 00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:04,840 so rapid. The front was moving at a mile a minute. A mile 481 00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:07,440 a minute, can you imagine, So the devastations in CREDI about my heart 482 00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:12,039 breaks for those people that lost their animals. And it's not just the animals 483 00:37:12,039 --> 00:37:15,559 though, Doug, it's the entire economy, the rabbits, the other animals 484 00:37:15,559 --> 00:37:17,320 that live naturally, the bugs, the insects, all of that's been totally 485 00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:21,960 destroyed and now it's gonna take centuries to come back. Yep, right, 486 00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:25,559 what a sad reality. I saw the story here. I have fourteen or 487 00:37:25,599 --> 00:37:30,280 fifteen different sources. I look at the La Times, in New York Times, 488 00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:32,760 Boston Globe, Washington Post, lots of the regular news sites, and 489 00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:42,039 the two Boston papers have stories about an animal rescue here in Beantown helped two 490 00:37:42,119 --> 00:37:46,719 thirty pounds sheltered cats get healthy before they were adopted. I thought this was 491 00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:52,039 pretty interesting. The cats, a three year old female and a seven year 492 00:37:52,039 --> 00:37:58,039 old male, were at the Animal Rescue League of Boston. They were not 493 00:37:58,159 --> 00:38:05,719 available for adoption until the folks in the in the rescue league, they worked 494 00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:08,440 on these two cats to get them back to health. Imagine, I can't 495 00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:13,880 even imagine a thirty pound cat when the average cat weighs ten or twelve pounds. 496 00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:16,960 Pounds is one hundred percent two hundred percent the weight of the catched and 497 00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:22,480 you know what, the same problems people have with overweight is the same problem 498 00:38:22,599 --> 00:38:27,239 that pets have, you know, diabetes, arthritis, all those same type 499 00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:29,039 of run. But that's that's great. But do you know the other thing 500 00:38:29,079 --> 00:38:31,239 I take into consideration is so many people Doug will go to a shelter or 501 00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:36,119 rescue and the most important thing they have in their mind when they want to 502 00:38:36,119 --> 00:38:38,199 adopt a dog or cat is looks. I'm so tired of people. I 503 00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:40,320 was looking for a dog that was beautiful. I was looking. You know 504 00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:44,679 what, You do not fall in love with the outside of a dog or 505 00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:46,159 a cat. Once you get that dog or cat home. Three legs, 506 00:38:46,159 --> 00:38:49,880 two legs, whatever it looks like, doesn't make any difference. You don't 507 00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:52,480 fall in love with the outside. Ultimately, you fall in love with the 508 00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:55,159 inside. I want to rescue every bulldog I see. I've had people say 509 00:38:55,199 --> 00:38:58,519 we aren't. How could you write? How could you rescue that dog with 510 00:38:58,559 --> 00:39:00,400 three legs and he's deaf, he's long and has one ear. You know 511 00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:04,719 why? Because once I loved that dog, I had no idea of any 512 00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:07,159 challenges the dog had an absolutely same is true with humanity. Actually, so 513 00:39:07,199 --> 00:39:10,119 anyway, one of the things that I with regard to these two cats. 514 00:39:10,119 --> 00:39:13,360 One of the things that was a big problem was the matting of their hair 515 00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:16,280 because they were so big, they had so much hair. I wonder do 516 00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:21,760 you do you cut the hair on cats like you you know dogs. I'm 517 00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:24,280 not a big fan of trimming any animal because God knows what he's doing. 518 00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:27,360 He gave them half for a reason. It keeps them warm and keeps them 519 00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:30,519 cool. But brought it every day to keep the knots away. Brushia, 520 00:39:30,559 --> 00:39:34,039 brusha Brushia.
