The next Stefan Good Day download with Doug and Jay Kirshner is made possible in
part by Calitron, which is the safe way for you to lose weight and
keep it off, and also by previlegent keeping your brain healthy. Some good
news from the people who are concerned about COVID. I was just telling Jay
and James that I spent not the brightest move but I had to get some
farm work done yesterday, and I spent four hours and it was about thirty
four thirty five degrees the windshill factor, and so I got the chill,
and I got really and I have a heated cab tractor. I don't know.
I wasn't very bright. I just did it to it. We always
do it. I could have put the heated cab tractor onto the Baylor,
but I didn't. So I had chills, and I came home and I
took a whole bunch of stuff and went to bed. And this morning I
feel fine, but I don't. I was gonna say I usually get sick.
I can't tell you the last time that I didn't feel well. And
I feel blessed because of that, something to be thankful for. But I
tested myself make sure I didn't have COVID and I didn't, which is smart.
Yeah, right, exactly. But I see Jay that there are some
new COVID tests that will be free available to everybody before this week's holiday and
before the end of the year, because there are so many people that are
traveling and there is a there's always I was told yesterday. Actually I talked
to both doctor Kennon and doctor Jack about this just to get their input as
to what I ought to do. And Jack said, is that there's an
early rise in new flu cases. Now, keep in mind COVID is a
flu, but there are other kinds of flus that have been around forever.
I never liked the cold that they don't seem to really understand, how it
said. Yeah, that's the thing that the cold a coal or the run
of the milk cold that we have had for generations, pun generations, is
a coronavirus just like COVID nineteen. But also we should have free COVID tests
for life. They shut down every and they told people that they had to
get vaccines and show cards to go into some places. You know what,
if they thought COVID was that bad for any period of time, free COVID
tests for life. Who are they? Are you talking about? The government?
They who supply these free COVID tests, they well, I think they
who demand that the COVID tests are going to be free, they should supply
them. The government they shut us down, They shut everything down. People
are a little bit more angsty than they used to be. There's a little
because they don't really understand the nature society was not to be shut down as
such. And I think that some people got used to being by themselves.
Some people thrived and then they went back into society, don't know what to
do. Some people had a really hard time with it, went back into
society, They didn't know what to do. We talk about this on the
regular that there seemed to be so many more stories of anger and aggression.
And yeah, sometimes people were angry about things, but they didn't start,
you know, fighting over a parking spot with a gun or a skier or
there wasn't. It didn't seem like there was that much fatalities over road rage
incidents or people jumping through fast food drive through windows because their order was wrong.
There is a philosophy, and it may have some merit that whatever was
in these vaccines has created something that we don't understand. It has done something
to the makeup of our system. Not in everybody's case, but in somebody
because everybody's chemistry is different. That's why you know, you have all these
ads on TV. Take this drug, take that drug, do this,
do that? With drugs, drugs, drugs, more drugs. You can.
We've gone crazy with drugs, and the drugs may affect one. But
there's a reason that when you hear the ads or you see them, that
there's fifteen twenty seconds worth of why you should take the drug and forty seconds
worth of why you shouldn't, or who shouldn't or what will happen to you
if you do so. Whether people have become that gullible, this is all
a collision of things that have come about because a there's too many people on
the planet. Be The educational system here in our country is not good anymore.
For the most part, it isn't well rounded. So you know,
the educational system was supposed to provide for physical health, mental health, and
in a way spiritual health. But the body and the mind functioned together and
so and I know that's because I'm under more stress than I usually have been
because of some things that are going on. So I think that I became
vulnerable and getting cold is you know, okay, So I got cold and
I didn't feel well, and I did something about it. That's what you
have to do. There's so much stuff around and you can become vulnerable.
And it may be I don't know this for a fact. Nobody does that
we were sold a bill of goods. In part I will tell you there's
part of me who believes that there is a lot left to be experienced,
shall we say, as a result, they're getting all these shots and here
we you know, we're there a lot of people who are trying to hype
up and this is so obnoxious. World War three is coming. We're involved
in a war with it. It isn't so much a hot war, but
we're involved in a war with the Russians, with the Chinese, with the
Iranians, and it has it has bubbled up. So a couple of good
things today. There is a decided focus on a truce deal between Hamas and
Israel. Apparently it's very close, So keep your fingers crossed and you hope
that that is going to be, that it'll come before Thanksgiving and we'll have
that to be thankful for. Be one less matter that is stressful in our
lives. Then there are things that happen in our lives that are made up.
You know, you look at some of these silly programs on television that
people watch, like the Wives of Beverly Hills or Beverly whatever, whoever it
is. Oh yeah, the Real Housewives of insert whatever location. There's there's
so many, and then it's all created foolishness. It's all stress. Oh
that woman has got fake boobs or this woman just had botox, and oh
isn't that awful and disgusting? Who wants to watch that? Dribble and let
it? When you look at yourself and you become you know, you think,
oh jeez, these people have all of that. Maybe I should have
some of this done, you know, that kind of stuff. We were
artificially creating a whole lot of stress in our lives that we don't need.
So perhaps you take advantage of world Hello day, which is today, and
say in a pleasant way to people. I tend to when I'm walking around
I see people in Oftentimes they say hello, and I say hello back again.
You say hi or good day or something. Communicate with people, even
if you don't know them. There's so many people who walk up and down
the street that they turn away. There's a lady that I know who she
has the same physical therapist as I do, and she usually follows me when
I have my treatment, and she is so afraid of everything, you know,
she's literally psychotic. She stands in the corner and looks in the corner
as if she was afraid. She's afraid of everything, and it's a horrible
way to live your life. But there are a lot of people who are
afraid of everything, and how do they get that way? We've gotten that
way because we have too much of some things that are not good for us.
That's pretty much the bottom line. Well, when it comes to actual
like mental illnesses or health issues where this woman may have a gloraphobia, it
may take everything out of her just to exit her home for the day,
and that could be due to a childhood trauma or something that happened. Well,
we live in a different world, certainly, and it keeps changing all
the time, all right. So we talked about Hamas saying there's a truce
deal nearby. Also, the Defense Secretary mister Austin has gone over to Kiev
to have talks with the folks in Ukraine. The United States is realizing and
they are realizing in the Ukraine too, that there's not a blank checkbook anymore.
The Republicans are right when it comes to this, We don't know,
we can't account for We just throw a lot of money at this. In
the department, the Department of Defense is under scrutiny. What are we doing
with the money and where's it going? And how are we providing help and
that sort of thing. And I think we've let it go long enough.
So it may be the Ukrainians and the Russians, this thing could go on.
Some of these wars between outfits, you know, countries like this,
back and forth, they go on for years and years and years. So
there's no question that the Ukrainians needed to defend themselves from the Russian aggressors,
no question whatsoever. And we are there. I remember all of the blue
and yellow signs that we saw, the flags that we saw when this all
gets started. This has been going on for well over a year, folks,
and you and I have been footing the bill or the government keeps borrowing
money to give to the Ukrainians to help them out. So yeah, we
want them to be our partners. We want to have put up a wall.
It's just just think about all of this nonsense. We all are getting
into this, this hubbub Is it part of the human condition that we just
can't get along? That this guy wants the power and the control and that's
the only reason for this whole thing. It's Putin versus Zelensky, and what
we should have is a wrestling match, put them both in a ring and
made the best man. And that was something that people were talking about right
now, Lets would to dominate, Yeah, of course you would. Putin's
a little punk so anyway, but there may be because of this the whole
business of what we do and how we're going to do it and how we
figure out is there an end game here that that's the question. It's not
as certain in that circumstance that is that whole rhubarb that that's going to have
the same satisfactory and I don't know say what's going on in the at least
as satisfactory. But our mass is getting their asses beat and so they they're
the ones who say, okay, all right, let's talk about a ceasefire.
So let's see where all of that goes. I know, thousands,
want thousands of civilian casualties. That is just heartbreaking. How many babies have
died. How and I'm talking on all sides. I am not just talking
on one side or the other. There are so many civilians that have unnecessarily
lost their lives and no child considered a casualty. Well that's not right,
that's yes, that's true. We agree. But during World War two,
any war, there's always civilian casualties, and it always is the worst with
the youngsters, the babies who get killed just you know, inadvertently, they're
a victim. They're a victim of the aggressiveness of people who need to have
the tin foil, the gested. Let's put it that way. So Tuesday,
the twenty first, as I said the other day, yet we're two
thirds of the way through this month. We have a couple of days,
so Thanksgiving, let's be thinking about the things that we have to be thankful
for. And I don't mean that to sound right. I just think that
we need to put a lot of energy behind the good stuff. And speaking
of good things, there's a love story between Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift,
and he's been talking about how the romance began. So he's now on the
cover of pretty much everything by nature or his relationship with Taylor Swift. So
shall we find out what it's all about? What do you think that's what
it's all about. We'll find out because it is trending all this stuff.
So everyone news social media trending with the Travis Kelse vibe. Oh no,
and I have a correction, so I'm started you wrong and I was wrong.
Their actual last name is Kels. There's a video that was going around
of Travis Kelsey telling his teammates and stuff that people are mispronouncing his name.
The families name is Kels, and then there was a whole thing in Cleveland.
Well, then the brothers both do a like a show, a documentary
on a podcast, and they were talking with their dad and it turns out
they also thought their last name was Kelsey for a very or was pronounced Kelsey
for a very long period of time, because their mom also thought that and
the dad never corrected them. So technically, while their last name is Kels,
they've never really knew it. So they grew up being known as Kelsey,
and even Jason was like, Nope, nobody called me Kelse. I'm
Jason Kelcey. And Travis who's the same, So it is. So it's
one of those like Ariana Grandy. Her last name is actually Grandy, but
everyone says Grandi. So it's Kelsey. It's Kelsey. Oh my god,
we can't get that wrong. Now we can sleep well tonight. Oh yeah,
all right. I don't know if I'm too worked up about this.
I know a lot of people are. So that's why we're talking about it.
Because it's trending on social media. You can give us your thoughts,
comments on whatever it is. It's going on help yourself to all the social
media go by at two Good Day Networks, and that's how you will get
in. Oh, this guy Travis K. I'm going to start calling him
K because Caros last week can say Kelsey. Yeah, Travis and Taylor sitting
in a tree K I S S I n G. So everybody seems to
be this is one of those things, and I don't know whether it's good
or bad. I think it gets a little silly because there's so much focus
on it and that it would seem to me by very nature, it's a
distraction gets in the way. Well not only distraction, but but it's a
lot of focus on it. It's how do you survive with so much attention
being given? To leave me alone so I can have a relationship with this
woman anyway. So that's me speaking. He goes into the whole how did
they meet, how did they meet, how did they be how did this
romance begin? Jay, You're pretty good at fapughing this out. There were
people that they mutual friends. I think that they both knew and they had
been talking before they went out on their first date, and they always had
great conversations, so they kind of felt like it was going to be a
good date. And I guess it was a good day. But what's so
fun I think as a SWIFTYE about the relationship is he seems proud of the
relationship. Most other people whom she dated were kind of like it was always
kept hush hush, not hush hush. But they didn't want to be known
as Taylor Swiss boyfriend. They wanted their own name of their own right.
He doesn't care. He's proud of it. It's good both of them should
be proud of their circumstances. There's a study out today about how to live
a long life, the nine hundred and fifty j of these how to have
as you get older, healthy years, because obviously that's what's desirable, and
most of the of the ideas here just it came across this as I was
coming back and forth with my daughter about what we're doing for Thanksgiving, what
we're doing for Christmas, and how we're all getting together, and she's having
her birthday, so she and her husband want to go away and she wants
me to stay with Miles, which I'm more than happy to do. And
the idea, however, is that we are keeping ourselves. The reason I'm
bringing it up now is because as I get older, this means more and
more and more to me. There are a lot of things that that are
you know, make a lot of They make a lot of sense to me
in terms of how you take care of yourself and how you involve yourself in
the family. But there's also as you get older, there's genetics those people
who live into their nineties and beyond. This isn't And I was thinking about
this because of Jimmy Carter, who's talking that he released his statement after the
passing of his wife. They the reason that they lived as long and happy
as it is because they had each other no matter what else is going on
in their lives. He was very careful about what he ate during his life,
and he was careful about the people that he was around, you know,
that kind of stuff. So for those who think, and this is
all you think about him, that he was a lousy president, Well he
was a Losi president. You know. Does that mean he wasn't a good
person. No, it just wasn't. He wasn't suited for the job anymore
than Joe Biden is or even Trump. But it's a whole different focus.
So this research paper that was done focusing on the way people live as they
get older. People in the various places in the world, for whatever the
reason, live to be over one hundred very easily. Sardinia, Italy is
a place where people, on average, they live to be over one hundred.
It's just a place the people live. They hunt and they fish,
and they have they eat most of the food locally. They don't have supermarkets
per se. They have you know, a lot of the European penetranean sea.
I mean they can just go right and well, it's not just that
jay, it's looking around it where you can get vegetables that are grown locally
and all that stuff. You know, you may pass it off as being
ah, well, okay, so we get them at the farm. What's
the difference we go to the store and get them. That's there's a big
difference. They have the kind of topography where they can grow pretty much year
round, and they have their beans in their garden vegetables and their fruits,
and they have oils that are you know, the Italian olive oil stuff.
Another place where people live to be one hundred easily is okinaw or Japan,
and they have low rates of cancer, heart disease, dementia, certainly when
compared to the people here in our country. And so the people studying the
whys they live so long is they attributed to a strong social ties as well
as having a deep sense of purpose as they get older. The older ones,
the older folks here can readily articulate the reason that they get up in
the morning. They have things to do, They have a purpose in their
lives. How many people do you know who have gotten older and they just
don't have anything to do. They sit around all day and they watch TV.
That's a sure recipe for then you die faster because there's just no sense
of community and needing to tay places, needing to do something, having somebody
or someone or something relying on you. And then also if you're not used
to having a sedentary lifestyle and all of a sudden your body shifts into said
sedentary lifestyle, it's very hard on your body. Loma Linda, California,
is the only place in America that is cited in this study because of the
environment. There are a lot of people who live there that are Seventh Day
Adventists. Live the Loma Linda is inland and they live about a decade longer
than the average American. That's interesting. They have strict vegetarian diets, They
exercise, exercise, exercise. They have a passion for helping other people.
They encourage and provide opportunities for the people who are members to volunteer and go
places and help people. And again that's the sense of purpose that we're talking
about, a sense of purpose. Okay, a couple of other things going
on here that are worthy of a moment or two of our time, not
a whole lot. Maybe go to Ohio for this shootout at the walmart.
This guy was a male. You know. Here we go again the Walmart
and Dayton. He shot I think he wounded four people and he killed himself.
And so that's good. He saved the system from having They've been a
lot of money trying him. But what is it that? What do I
you know, what I think of it? Then I think, why do
I even tell the story? What's the what is there in it? What's
good that comes out of that? What can we what can the average listener
relate to when it comes to that? Is it something that we need to
know as we go? I mean, I'm looking around and I think as
I edit what I want to talk about with all of you, I'm not.
I just don't think that this that it gains anything by talking about it.
Something happened, okay, so we just pile it on to the huge
list of other similar things that have happened in this country and frankly elsewhere around
the world. But it's more prevalent here or whatever the reason. Then the
good stuff goes to the bad stuff. Well, it'd be a conversation.
Go ahead, no, go ahead, No, I just gonna say it.
Be a conversation about it. We don't want to live in fear,
but at the same time, we can be prepared and whenever we do go
out in public, just look around, be aware of your surroundings and maybe
have some kind of excess strategy or again, not to live in fear.
That's not great, But you can not live in fear and still be prepared.
What is that one saying of like hope for the best, be prepared
for the worst, pray for the best, but be prepared the way takes
Who takes the time to think about that in every circumstance. What kind of
a life do you have if that's the way you look at everything. I
think a lot of people question, well, that sucks, frankly. All
right, here's the nineteen year old who died after being struck by a construction
vehicle that was being operated by his father. Oh man, how about this.
This is a New York City occurrence. Authority say that the driver of
this piece of equipment was a fellow's father. They're both wearing on the construction
site, and he was this guy that was down on the street working traffic
control. Because that's what you have. You know, in New York when
there's a lot of construction going on, not just New York, elsewhere you
see this all the time with this piece of equipment that's close to the road.
And they have somebody that works for the company as just a youngsters at
probably his first job, and he got the job because his dad worked at
the company. So he's out directing traffic on the machine. You know,
he's in the wrong place at the wrong time. So anyway, it's just
like, I don't know, I just you know what I don't it's Thanksgivving.
I don't want to talk about this stuff anymore. Although there are some
crazy things like this woman who was driving at Tesla and she flew over the
swimming pool and crashed into a home in California. Nobody got hurt. Qu
out, Yeah, I mean a lot of these things, and I don't
know the ins and the outs of this. But in San Mateo, California,
she was driving and she went through the driveway of a neighbor's home.
It sounds to me like the car was out of control, which has happened
before with Tesla's right the accelerator sticks, there's no brakes, whatever. It
is. And I don't know if that's really specifically what happens he because there's
a lot of information that's left to be filled in. But sometimes it happens
because people veer one side and they overcorrect, or they're reaching for something not
paying attention. A lot of people don't know how to drive the bottom line,
they just don't know how to drive. All right, let's talk about
the Macy's Day Parade. You ready? Ready? Ninety seven years? Yeah,
ninety seven years. This is the ninety seventh year of the Thanksgiving Day
Parade, and they will be very exciting floats. They always say that before
they want you to watch it. It sound usually on NBC. I think,
isn't it? That's what it is? The Thanksgiving Morning for the floats.
There are four new ones making their debut this year. They're going to
start at eight thirty instead of nine because there are these new additions, the
teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle float. Right, it's called Mutant Mayhem. So what
do you get out of Well, I watched that as a Willy Wonka thing.
Looks like they have people on these floats, right, isn't There is
sometimes things being acted out on the oh yeah, yeah, Yeah, there's
there's like musical numbers, singers, you have the rockets that perform different things.
Yeah, it's it's always a lot of fun. Five thousand volunteers participating
in this year's parade, twenty six different floats, sixteen character balloons, thirty
two heritage balloons, twelve marching bands at a partridge and a poar tree.
Okay, Santa Claus is going to be there as well. I wish there
was more respect. Santa Claus has become like there's so many of them,
and they become so commercialized. How do you get the real benefit out of
Santa Claus? Really Santa Claus. There's nobody else like Santa Claus in the
world. Yet they have these, you know, the stupid movies about a
hacker slasher who's a Santa Claus in a Santa Claus uniform? Is that this
year? Was that last year? I saw a promotion for it. I
can't remember whether it's been around for a while or not. You know about
hacker slasher movies. I'm not recalling this one though, I don't know.
Okay, does it sound like I'm exasperated? I am. I feel like
I'm really exasperated today because of stuff that I would like to see not happening.
But you know, here's something for those of you who are so tied
into Amazon and all of the things like that, from way to order online
and have a ship to you. The US Postal Service and FedEx and ups
say they have the capacity to meet projected demand for the holiday season. So
that's good news, right, if you're buying things. I think you can't
help these days to not buy stuff some stuff online. That'd be a little
drama this year, kind of like last year because of people not having enough
people to drive these trucks, and so you're still are going to see I
saw an electric Amazon truck stuck in somebody's driveway the other day and I almost
stopped. It looked like he needed he went over the He was going up
a driveway and he obviously didn't know how to drive. These kids to drive
these vans going up. This guy was going up a driveway and he went
over the side of the driveway and he couldn't get out. So but I
didn't stop. Those are because I find myself this probably isn't fair, right,
I'm so annoyed Amazon trucks all over the place. They park in the
middle of the road everywhere, and so I that may have interviewed my attitude
too helping him or not helping him. He's he's fault at Amazon, a
big budget booball is. But anyway, 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 reason 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, is a
senior flight attendants. 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 privileging for about three years now.
People say to me periodical, Man, you got a memory like an alphant.
It's really really helped me tremendously, healthier brain, the better life.
Greg Freeley is a paid testimonialist and real privileged user based on a clinical study
of subgroups of individuals who were cognitively normal or mildly impaired. This product is
not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Social
media time a little bit of technology news sort of mixed in with it when
we go into the social media zone in this hour of the program. I
thought this was kind of interesting. Apple Jay is planning to adopt a new
text messaging operating system make it easier if you have an iPhone or an Android
to communicate. How do you do you use? You have Apple? Right,
you have an iPhone? Each other? Yeah, I have an iPhone.
I'm on iOS, so my husband's Android, and I think a lot
of people who have ever sent a group text message and typically with iOS you
get the blue bubbles, and if there's an Android user on, it can
sometimes mess up the group flow and the bubbles turn green. And there are
certain things that if you like attacks it doesn't just show heart has an additional
to comment of like this person liked the text and it's just all unnecessary fluff,
right, So a waste of time in fact, and people are complaining
about that. How do you suppose these people that make this stuff up.
Excuse me, how do you suppose that they get their marching orders? Do
they really pay attention to what to how this stuff works? And I'm talking
about Apple or you know, any of these other people that make these devices.
It seems like they're in a world of their own sometimes and what they
design isn't what necessarily is practical. It's just it's what they like. Kind
of reminds me of the guy doing technology at the studio in Texas. Yeah.
Well, and sometimes I feel like they do something that is working for
a while and then they try to reinvent the wheel rather than rotate the tires.
And it's like what social media is constantly doing. How you and I
Dug are constantly talking about Facebook, where Okay, it's working fine, things
are user friendly, it's easy, and then all of a sudden they want
to mess change the layout of something, or to do one easy step,
now you have to do five steps, and it's like that's not more time
efficient? What's going on? And I think a lot of times with the
phone stuff, who is it is it Google Pixel that has like the really
good camera and all of that. It seems like each each device or each
company has a device that's really known for something, and some of those lines
are starting to get mixed, and it's like, we don't want a monopoly
by any means. But at the same time, can we just get a
phone that hey guess what it acts as a phone? Like sometimes you're somewhere
and all of a sudden, the WiFi is not working, the data plan's
not working. You can't do anything with your phone. Exceptionally complicated, way
too complicated. Here's the story of Queen Latifa using AI versions of herself to
help people out. She says, quote, I have my concerns, but
I want to use it for good. So it's aokay as long as it's
being used for good. So as we know, there's a lot of controversy
around artificial intelligence, but to Queen Natifa says, she's putting it to good
use by partnering with technology company Lenovo for It's Evolved Small initiative, using her
digital likeness to help promote small businesses. I think that's a great cause.
Yeah, yeah, right, Well, small businesses we need more. We
have a lot of them, we need more of them. That's the backbone
of our country. As I said, one hundred million, jillion times,
so anyway, she's using it. She's the ambassador for their Evolve Small,
which is the initiative to champion small businesses. She's signed on to be the
face of select small businesses in six different major cities using AI customized ads featuring
her on social media, billboards, that kind of stuff. So you're allowable
to see her in Chicago, Atlanta, Dallas, Raleigh, Toronto, Los
Angeles, her likeness promoting it. Yeah, this is okay, this is
yeah, and this is something near and dear to her heart. She had
her own startup business back in the nineties with her management company. Then definitely
was a startup and then it became huge, and she knows what it's like
to sometimes barely even be able to keep the lights on and keep your employees
that's right, page sure keep themselves even. Yep. All right, we're
asking a question online at the all of the social media that we have at
Good Day Networks, you're can respond to holiday baby stories. Tell us if
you were somebody you know was born on Thanksgiving. And here's Jeremy Wood who
says, I usually feel pregnant after Thanksgiving. If that's close enough, right,
No, Jeremy, that's not what we're looking for, right, Yeah,
there's been no time about food. We're talking about being ill pregnante for

at top loss dot com. Thanksgiving as upon us. Let's be optimistic about
the rest of this week. I've Doug Stefan Wong with Jay Kershner, my
partner in good stuff, not Mike partner. They often married couples there.
Oh she's my partner in crime. Huh. I was like the better half.
Yeah, this is my better half. I'm like, yeah, yeah,
yay, yeah, yep, yep. When you get up every morning,
you give thanks for what you're surrounded by. You look outside and see
the light. You give thanks for your life. You give thanks for your
strength, you give thanks for your food, give thanks for the joy of
living. Not immediately, but I get there. Yeah, well sometimes you
take when first goes off, there are other words in my head. But
then as I get up, I'm like, oh yay, and I just
I do get there. So if you don't see any reason to give thanks,
I think you need to look in the mirror and try to figure out
what is ascertain, what is going on in your life, because there is
even among those who are the toughest, in the toughest shape, there still
is something to be. It's kind of like the same philosophy as somebody loves
you, somebody somewhere head to love Sadam. Who's saying, somebody someplace must
have loved Hitler. Yeah, even bron somebody must love Putin right, Well,
they were a door, like to think about it, when they were
first born. They were adorable babies. Children now once upon a time,
and they weren't born these evil, sadistic spawn of the earth. They they
get that way that way, Yeah, right, we ruined all the babies
are born perfect, and it is what we do to them that you know,
makes them not desirable people to be around as much as anything else.
And they grow up. Yeah, here's somebody who has always been desirable.
I interviewed Jimmy Carter a couple of times over the course of my life.
Once down in the went to the Carter Center and he spent like half a
day with me, walking around and showing me, and I remember some of
the things that I got out of him that we put on the air at
that time. I think this been eighteen years ago or so on President's Week.
He was a humble, sweet, charming man, and so as his
wife passed away, he started to speak out about the love that he had
for her and what went on in their lives. I don't think there's anything
earth shaking here. It's just that it's being cemented in everybody's mind. He
said that Roslyn was my equal partner and everything she gave me wise, guidance,
encouragement when I needed it. As long as Roslyn was in the world,
I always knew somebody loved and supported me. So now you know he's
in hospice care. He's ninety nine years old, and I'm going to And
this is not negative, but usually when somebody loves someone that much and they
pass away, then it isn't long after that that his stories all the time
of Ozmond been to his wife for sixty some odd years and she dies and
a few hours later he dies. It is like that. So he entered
hospice care back in what February. Yeah, and a part of me kind
of feels like he held on so long because of her. Mm hmm,
yeah. That may have been it. That's a that's an easy I don't
know. Have an assumption is he didn't want to leave his dear You want
to leave his wife? Yeah? Right, So a lot of good in
his life, a lot of good. They look around at people who accomplish
great things, who are givers, and he certainly is on the top of
that list. Okay, Iceland volcanoes eruptions, So apparently there have been hundreds
of earthquakes rumbling under Iceland, and they call it magma. It's slowly moving
around. That is the lava towards the surface. According to most people who
are in you know, the people here in our country are watching this because
we can watch all this stuff happening all over the world. So Iceland officials
saying that there needs to be a state of emergency around this mountain. This
is not there's not a lot of people live around Actually in Iceland, there
are a lot of people there period. But because there's so many earthquakes that
have been in the last couple of years in Iceland that you know, the
earthquakes are tied to volcanoes. That's how it works. It's the same thing
basically an earth. A volcano is an earthquake that eruption. Instead of pushing
the ground around it overflows. But the same basic causes are are prevalent the
magma. It's now up to the Earth's crust, so the observers say,
and so they expect next couple of days it will be something to see.
You know, nobody, as I said, not many people live around this
place, but well, the people in that fishing town they had to evacuate,
and then people were alive to one person from each home was given like
five minutes to go in and grab the necessities and to get out. And
they don't know how long they're going to be away. And there were like
seventeen hundred small quakes in just a twenty four hour period last week, and
then I think over the weekend there were a thousand or so more. And
now that the earthquakes are slowing down, that's part of you know, with
the with the magma coming more up towards the surface, but then the ground
is raising, it's rising right near this power plant. I think they think
that that's going to be the exit for when the lava just spews out,
and that it's going to be like a shaken popcan that opens when it does
explode. And they're they're considering like this could be in days, a mere
matter of days that this happens. It's not really are you wonder why they
built the they knew that there was a mountain there that is the prone To
volcano, why would they build a power station close to it? Would have
been the practical question that I would have asked. But it's just me.
So it's just one of those things. The way the planet is the planet.
People say, oh my god, it's horrible, the world coming to
an end. No, this has been what the planet has been doing forever
and ever. The origins of the planet are in basically the seeds of these
volcanoes, the volcanic ash. That's stuff that heats up. It's just fascinating
to try to imagine how all these gases got together formed liquids, and then
they formed solids, and then they form a sphere, and the sphere is
traveling through space. I know that sometimes some of you, you know,
your eyeballs go to the back of your head, run to get off on
this, but it truly is the most amazing thing about life and living and
how we all of it is so complex and yet so beautiful. It's just
it is fascinating to see how the world turned. Sounds like a soap opper
right as the world squirms. Yeah, in India, officials are trying to
reach forty one workers who have been trapped in a collapse mine for eight days.
Wow, they've got a new drilling machine trying to get down to these
men. This is you know, rocks, debris, all that stuff when
there's a cave in these cavens have been having. Whenever you have something this
is unnatural, the planet doesn't like it. It would be like you,
you know, somebody takes a drill or a screwdriver and drills into your hand
or your arm. It doesn't feel good. So when we're drilling holes into
the planet to get coal out or other resources, mother nature doesn't like it.
And so these you know, these all of these tunnels and things,
they're prone to collapse. We have thing shifting gas and they're still working to
get them out. But they have managed to get them hot meals. They
are able to sustain them while they're down there and feed them. Something must
be open enough to get something enough to get enough to get to them.
They know exactly where they are, and yeah, they're they're able to imagine
it's not a big enough space to get the huge just to get humans out.
And they're still working on it. But they're still hopeful. But those
of you who are claustrophobic, imagine being good. You couldn't work in the
mine and be close. Yeah, I was going to say, this would
not be a job for you to begin with. No anymore, you can
be a sub mariner and be clusterroophobic. Doesn't work. Can't happen anyway.
Hold a good thought for these people. Hopefully they'll have Do they have Thanksgiving
in India? Not necessarily this Thanksgiving that we're talking about here, is that
one of our national holidays? But they are yeah, yeah, right,
Okay. It's been a tough week for deer d e e R. A
deer was discovered at Yellowstone Park that had died of a rare zombie type disease.
Oh. Yellowstone National Park and the Game and Fish Department and they found
this first recorded instance of a wasting disease known as zombie disease. This is
an adult deer buck. The buck was captured and they've been trying to figure
out they've been trying to study what it is. It had a GPS collar
on it, they put that on it and they let them go, and
so the animal died and they're trying to figure out what it is. But
going back to what mother nature is all about, there are a lot of
things that affect animals. Remember last week we had the story about the thirty
five elephants. Elephants that diet of a virus are viruses that affect animals.
Viruses affect human beings. It's a covid, not a covid kind of thing,
but as covid and flus and cold, all of those things are the
same and they affect us. They get into our system. As I was
saying, last twenty four hours have been pretty unpleasant for me because I got
some kind of a virus. It wasn't a covid, but it was a
regular flu. And when I talked to Jack stockwell it will be with a
funerals. We'll talk about it with him. The whole essence of flus this
year are different, and there it's coming out there, coming on strong.
I don't I say I never get sick. I've been sick. Can't tell
the last time I was sick. Yesterday I felt awful, so I took
a lot of stuff from my immune system and went to bed. Today sound
I feel fine. I may sound a little off, but I think I'm
Okay, I don't feel great. You hadn't said anything, yeah right,
all right. So anyway, this zombie disease is a virus. Apparently it's
contagious. It's a fatal disease, not only for deer, but for moose
and elk. There's some kind of a malformed protein that they found, and
there's no vaccine for it. I don't know that's a lot of people going
around vaccinating the deer, and especially the male species very dangerous, especially if
they have the like twelve point horns on. They can be very specially a
mating season, very very dangerous. So I can't imagine somebody, you know,
Okay, let's give this guy a shot. I don't think so.
All right. Here's another one. A teen was hurt after a deer smashed
through a window in a diner in Tennessee the other day. This is a
family eating at the local Tennessee diner. Six people were at the table.
This is the Grind restaurant in Martin, Tennessee. You know that is Jay.
Where's Martin from Nashville? Ummmm, I am not familiar with it.
I think it's on the west western Tennessee. No, it's an Eastern Tennessee
Mountains. Okay, so anyway, but can you imagine, just like mining
your own business, eating at a diner and this deer bust through the window,
right annimal flew over the table. The hoof hit a thirteen year old
boy in the shoulder, taking to the hospital. But this is the kind
of stuff, now, why would this get national attention? Deer hunting season
in is upon us and the deer are trying to escape from the people who
are hunting them, right, that just makes nothing but common sense. Well,
what's their mating seasons? So they're not even thinking that the hunters are
taking advantage of that because the deer are they do right, their priorities are
with a different brain. Yeah, well, and there's too many deer.
They need to be called out in some way, shape or form. But
this is kind of a scary thing, right. Tuesday morning brings us Harry
Geller from his home in Israel. Aura is perhaps the most famous mystic fire
in the world. He's got I like the termamentalist. At any rate.
Everybody knows who he is from his poon bending days and he still does a
lot of that. Got a great museum right in Old Jaffa, which is
a part of Tel Aviv, something that any of you, I don't know.
There's a lot of tourism going on. What, by the way,
has happened to tourism in Israel or do you still find people coming to visit
or is it pretty much shut down because of the war. Yeah, it's
it's very much down because of the war. It's not only tourists outside tourists
that come usually from America and Europe, but it's local tourists. People are
afraid to go out. There are still rockets flying almost every day. Some
town gets rockets. But the good news now is that Netanya is getting his
cabinet together tonight to basically announce that they made a ceasefire deal with Hamas and
Hamas are going to release hostages, maybe fifty hostages, maybe more. But
that's what's happening now. And you know, from the point of view of
war in fighting, it's not very good news for the Army and Air Force
and Navy because you suddenly you stop them from fighting from basically destroying Hamas.
But that's the situation and we will have to go through it. Meanwhile,
the thing about not continuing to get rid of Hamas. That was the aim
at the beginning, even though most people realize you're never going to get rid
of Hamas because if one die is a leader, the next leader comes along
and they just it's like a snake. He cut the head off and another
one grows on. So people coming to terms with it. It seems like
they've had the retaliation for the war. Hopefully Hamas has learned their lesson,
but maybe not, depending on the Iranians. Is that the feeling what are
the feelings there toward Iran? Oh, the feelings first of all towards Hama's
Doug is that they will be destroyed. No, there's no two bits about
it. Hamas will never rain again in again Gaza. And of course,
like you said, the head of the snake is Iran. Everything is coming
from Iran, whether it's intelligence and arms, et cetera. And also the
Hooties are now onto this. And they just yesterday or was it before yesterday,
they basically took a ship, a big ship they kidnapped. Unbelievable.
And I think they did it because the ship is part owned by in Israeli
as far as I understand, And this is what's going on here I'm looking
out of the window. It's very sunny. It's beautiful. I'm off to
Haifa in about an hour to entertain some families that were relocated from keyboard teams
in the north that are constantly being bombarded on your side, you know,
Thanksgiving Day, you know, for you, it's a national holiday. I
understand in America and you basically what I remember is that you're basically celebrating the
harvest and other blessings of the past year. And I don't know, but
if the Americans generally believe that their Thanksgiving is modeled on a sixteen to twenty
one harvest feast, which was also shared by British colonies, is that true?
Kind of it's a it's a part of the you know, the old
wives tale, and the first Thanksgiving wasn't really what some of the history books
make it out to be. It was really tough. The people who survived
from the Mayflower and met the natives, and they did get together to have
some sort of I don't know if you call it a feast, but they
the natives gave them food and that sort of became the first I'm remembering back
to when you lived in New York and we're working in this country. Do
I remember you were in one of the Macy's Day parades back in the seventies.
Is that a bad memory or is that a good memory? No,
it's I mean, you know, when you have a big Macy's parade,
everyone goes out and then see you know, it's it's because it's a it's
a kind of joyous day to watch. But you know, we parallel.
Next month we celebrate Hanukah and uh is we celebrate the time of what twenty
two hundred year is ago, when a small army of Jewish rebels called the
Maccabees and overthrew a Greek Syrian occupation of Israel. And basically hanuka dog means
dedication after the Maccabees overthrew the Greek ruler. And my name Uri means my
light. And I think I was named because I was born on December the
twentieth, which is Hanukah and Uri means my light. And so now you
know the meaning of my name. I do. I think I'd heard one
way or another. We've talked about this before, what it means and how
important it is. It's you kind of are in Uri, you know,
you just look at somebody and yeah, that name fits you. Look like
in Uri. Does that makes that sound silly? So you do, Yeah,
it looks like except except you remember the time when we walked out of
a British bar and somebody shouted, there is fucking Yuri galor right, I
love you with you too. Yep, have a happy were well happy anyway
because things are getting better over there, it would seem. So that's a
good thing. Lots to be thankful for. We all do, whether we
have Thanksgiving or we don't have Thanksgiving. The next Stefan Good Day download with
