The next Stefan Good Day download with Doug and Jay Kirshner is made possible in
part by Keltren, which is the safe way for you to lose weight and
keep it off. February the twenty eighth. Normally it would be the end
finito, audioso, see you later. Oh, but now I'm gonna We're
gonna do with leap year, and so we will do that tomorrow an extra
twenty four hours. Well say, if I only had twenty four more hours
to get things done, Hey, guess what this year? You do?
Yeporay? All right? So let's uh do we talk about? This is
a real cliffhanger, boys and girls. Biden and Trump win Michigan Donna.
The primaries are over there, and so now the news media is excited because
it looks like Joe and Donald will or at least start getting closer to a
rematch. Won't that be exciting? World can't wait to find exciting? Oh
my god? Yes, So Biden beat Minnesota Representative Dean Phillips. That was
really the only significant Democratic challenger, at least at the moment. Let's see
if they have something up their sleep when they have their convention and then Donald
Trump defeated Nikki Haley. Where are they going? What are they doing?
I'll tell you something. A lot of discombobulated Republicans and Democrats. That's what
you get from the polls. Not that Biden and Trump won, but they
kind of lost, both of them. And people say, oh, you
can turn a beautiful orange into a rotten apple every time. And just looking
at the numbers as a significant number of uncommitted Republicans and uncommitted Democrats, and
that's spells opportunity for somebody, whether it's Nicky Hayley, is she going to
be the nominee? Who knows? That's what's so crazy about the people here
in Massachusetts and the other states who are voting next week on Super Tuesday.
Gets vote early, nail in your ballots? Yeah, how do you know
what's going to happen between now and next Tuesday? And these phony blooneya don't
make it easy for everybody to vote. Nah. No, the process frankly
isn't supposed to be easy. It's an important thing that you are to put
your heart and soul into. At least that's the way I look at it.
Well, and also some employers, unfortunately will not allow their employees to
have off, So then the employees only have a short window, and with
how long the lines are, sometimes they can't wait in that window. Employers
need to also kind of do their due diligence. And I don't think there's
anything wrong with voting early if it's looser, like maybe twenty four hours forty
eight hours early. But I always think of the whole Fetterman situation and how
many people voted for him. Then he unfortunately had those health issues, and
a lot of people had said if I didn't vote early, I wouldn't have
ended up voting for him. They changed their mind after they cast their early
ballot. Yep, it's a bad situation, is not good. And yet
there's a customized I was looking we have in the town that I live in,
Framingham as Chusetts. There is a sort of a rivalry between the old
school Democrats and the I don't know, they call them liberal whatever. There's
two different factions, let's put it that way. Who run the local Democratic
who want to run the local Democratic committee, the city committee? And I
looked there are a bunch of brochures that are around and flyers that have been
sent out I don't know if you have this sort of thing in your community,
Jay, or if other people listening have this. But the old timers
who have been doing whatever the bidding or the public to keep things controlled,
the sort of liberal faction that's Group one, and I want to keep everything
the way that it is. And that doesn't mean that it's good, it
just means that's what they want to do. Including a state rep. Who
gerrymandered a district to make sure he was going to win. He's one of
the group ones. And then there's Group two that a group of younger Democrats
but more traditional Democrats, the local state rep. And a couple of people
who have been a city council. Neither one of them represent much change,
but they do. It's an interesting faction because it's liberal versus moderate, let's
put it that way. And I think you see more and more of that
around the country. I think the liberals do not have control of the Democratic
Party, and why should they? Or whatever fact, there are the so
called right wing of the Republican Party. Why should they have control? Why
shouldn't it be you who has control? And making up your own mind is
an important part of doing your job. Your duty is to be a good
citizen, to understand what the issues are and to vote accordingly. A lot
of you vote with your heart, some of you vote with your head,
some of you vote because there's a D next to a person's name, although
there's much less of that than there used to be. But in my town,
if you're not a Democrat, have a real tough time winning any elections.
That's just the way it is. So I always, I rarely vote
for anybody who wins, although I certainly have in local terms. I've supported
and helped people win that I thought were good and they were Democrat. But
again, what differs to make when you're a Democrat or Republican. If you
do a good job, a lot of you don't agree with that he's a
Democrat, I'm not vote for him or he or she is a Republican.
We don't vote for Republicans. Look at what the candidate who's yeah, or
the candidate who's with the party that says their party is better. What happened
to for the people, not for the party right, exactly, of the
people, by the people, and for the people. All right. Anyway,
So here's this situation in Georgia. Wow, there's a migrant who was
arrested, who apparently killed. This is the latest battle ground on immigration.
This happens way too much. And this is why when you go to the
polls, you think about Joe Biden and the complete, the complete fiasco that's
on our borders, and he and his party are one hundred percent responsible for
that. So you don't know the story. There was a thing. The
politics of immigration has set the stage for a protest. The people who understand
this guy from Venezuela who's been charged in the death of a former student University
of Georgia's student, I think in Athens, if I'm not mistaken, this
is this is really a it's a horrible how can these things happen? And
that's the headline for me. That's a way lot more important headline to understand
than who won the Minnesota primary. I don't really give a damn who won.
I mean, I'm talking about it because some people do. But this
twenty two year old nursing student dead on a trail the University of Georgia.
This is the first time anybody has been killed on this campus for a long
long time, and so the suspect of twenty six year old migrant from Venezuela
charged with kidnapping her and killing her. And so this area of Clark County,
which has about one hundred and thirty thousand people in it, it's seventy
miles directly east of Atlanta, a flashpoint the focus on US immigration policy.
If you don't believe that's the case, you can look all over whatever social
media you have. And of course Trump has been fueling the flames of this,
maybe justifiably so. Jose Antonio Iberra. Trump called him a monster,
and he blamed Biden. I'm not going to fall for what Trump has said.
I just feel that way myself. That doesn't mean I support Trump.
And it's not about Trump. It's about the migration. It's about the situation
and the unwillingness of the people in charge to secure the border, and for
what reason, what do they expect to gain by letting all these people come
into the country. It's a bloodbath in many different ways. And you know,
Alejandro Majorca keeps, oh, there's no problem. It's just one of
those things. The statements are not doing the Biden nights any They aren't doing
them any favor at all. So anyway, the conversation, according to the
mayor, should be focused on mourning the victim, not blaming the individual.
Huh, blaming the group? Why this person shouldn't have been here? So
you're not going to sell me that bill of goods? What about any thoughts?
Maybe I don't know. Is that too volatile? Well, I think
there's a time for everything. I think there is a time to focus on
the victim, focus on the victim's family, then move on towards the monster,
regardless of you know, from where they come the this this poor young
woman should have not she should still be alive. Across the board and we
have murderers here, we have drunk drivers here, we have all of that
stuff and rants that have those same intentions. But my brain always goes towards
the when it comes to so many undocumented Who isn't just somebody who's going to,
you know, kill somebody with a weapon or a dui, but actual
terrorist situations that are going under the radar. Well, I get that.
I think that's important. You're right, maybe that's the most important part of
it. But still, that woman would be alive if it weren't for this
fellow being admitted to not admitted to or even focus on her for sure,
won't just wandering in time for us to big around in social media. Jay
Kirshner and Doug Stephan on the Good Day Program, Let's see what is going
on with Ariana Grande? Because her name, Jay, in the Celebrity News
trending department, is in the top ten. She has been auditioning, and
that seems rather strange. Why would Ariana Grande? After all, you know
who I am? Do you know who she is? Why is she?
What's going on here? What is the storys? Oh yeah, I guess
she does. All right, Well, let's find out what the story behind
the story is. All right. So, Jay, you're probably more attentive
when it comes to these sorts of things. I'm not a big Broadway fan.
I don't know much about Wicked Broadway show or the movie, but it
seems to have attracted a lot of attention. But the focus here is on
Ariana Grande and the fact that she had to audition for a role in this
movie. I don't get that she was upset about it just seems strange.
Oh no, no, So what she's discussing is that she basically before a
movie was ever even announced, she came from Broadway. Ariana Grande got her
start on Broadway in the musical Thirteen, and then she was on a Nickelodeon
show for a while before she moved into the music career. But I think
most people know her with the music career, and she was always in love
with the Broadway musical Wicked. She knew that whenever there was a film that
was going to go into play that she wanted to at least audition she wanted.
She either wanted Glinda or Alphaba. She just she wanted a part in
it. And she basically had always stalked down the lead producer and the directors
and everything and just asking, like begging, like, hey, whenever this
comes to fruition, please I'm begging, just please give me an audition.
And then once it was happening and she knew she was going to audition,
she basically went through six months of daily prep with singing lessons and acting classes
and just trained every single day for this. Once she got the audition and
it clearly worked out because she booked the role. Well, congratulations, you
want to right bad enough, you work hard for it. Hey, look
that's it, and that's the lesson here, by the way, not necessarily
about Ariana Grande, even though she's the reason we're talking about this. But
don't give up. If you have a dream, if you have an idea,
if you have something that you really want to do, then do it.
And you're going to say, well that's easier said than done, Well,
it depends, I guess on how much there are. This is where
astrology comes in. Frankly, the star is under which you are born,
because there's that crazy Stephan again. But no, I think that you your
personality and what it is that drives you. In this case, this is
something you really want, so you go for it. Some people have that
jay and some people don't. That's just kind of the way it is.
But in this case, she wanted it and she got it, and good
for her. So it's great business time for Caldron. I would think the
phones would be ringing off the hook and people would be ordering nauseum. That's

That sounds like it would be kind of fun. Caltron at top loss
dot com. Thanks to Elizabeth Miller here, one of the great calatrin consultants
at top loss dot com. This is another one of those things about having
desire. Talking about Ariana Grande, if she really wanted to be in Wicked
the movie, and she set her heart, became her heart's desire, and
she went for it. Clint Eastwood always was the same, and he still
is at it at ninety. I think he's either ninety five or ninety six.
He's directing another movie. I think it's just been finished. He looks
his age and sometimes you see some of the movies that are on some of
the chances, and remember what he looked like, and it doesn't seem like
that long ago raw heide, he really looked young in but you know,
you go to dirty Harry movies and how he played in very you know,
like even the Untouchable, not the Untouchable. It's the the name of that
movie, the Undefeated, but the Hackman was in it. It was a
cowboy movie. I forget, wasn't it. I forget what it's called.
But at any rate, he looked you know, and none seemed like that
long ago. Would you see a picture even of Hackman today? I saw
a picture of him last week at ninety. I think he's ninety, and
he looks you can tell it's Deene Hackman, but he's lost a lot of
the the starchy look, if you know what I mean. I think also
it's our own age too when we see a lot of these because a lot
of these older actors who are already kind of not necessarily older when I was
younger, but older to me at that age. Yeah, pubs always looked
old, so they still look relatively the same to me. But every so
often you do get somebody who it's like they're unrecognizable. I would not be
able to have identified it was that person if you showed me like a current
day photo. But a lot of the people that I grew up with watching
that were my age or that I took notice of at an older age.
For myself, I've noticed them aging a lot more than I do with a
lot of these older election Hackman has always looked like that to me. Yeah,
that's all relative, it really is. That's true. It is all
right taking action here on lots of things. Talking about taking action, moving
you to a decision or a point. That's kind of part of what we
do on the Good Day Program, questions and answers. I'm Doug Stephan,
that's Jay Kershner. We're here to talk about what really happens, so that
maybe you can learn a few more things about various issues and various people.
Like the discussion of the area on a grande. I never would have known
that she was really that interested in acting. I thought she was a singer.
That's the category I've always put her in, and that's what she got
her start in acting, right, yeah, right, So she's moving into
different areas moving forward, and so I use that as an example of encouraging
you to move. Whatever it is. Movement is a stepping stone to a
path forward, and hopefully it's a good path forward. Story floating around today
about a doctor from New York University who died at a Disney restaurant in Florida
and her husband blames the restaurant. I don't know. I haven't been to
Disney in Florida for ages, so I don't know what restaurants are there.
There are tons of them around. This was a particular Irish pub. I
went in there and she told them that she had a nut and dairy allergy
and okay, it's fine, and then she was served some stuff that had
nuts and dairy in it and she died. Yeah. I mean, this
was definitely negligent that they let the server know, the server let the chef
know. She was able to order what she wanted and they were able to
make it separately and without the ingredient that she's allergic to. And what happens
is if you have a specialty item, whether it's a food allergy or something,
there is a flag, like a special little flag they put in your
dish when they serve it to you. And her dish did not have that
flag, and so the doctor and her husband questioned the server again. The
server is sured, no, no, I don't know why there's no flag,
but this is made appropriately and it wasn't and the server should have just
automatically taken it back, said there's no flag in this, just out of
additional precaution, and they didn't that that dish never should have been served to
her and it never should have been consumed without that flag. And the couple
even identified, hey, this doesn't have the flag in it, but they
trusted the server's words, and later when she was by herself, she suffered
an allergic reaction applied to her, did her EpiPen herself, and that wasn't
enough. Nine one one was called and she just unfortunately, sadly did not
make it. Yeah, as one of those inexcusable, unnecessary deaths. And
Disney will pay a big time for this as well. They should. Disney's
big and impersonal and I just you know me in Disney, I'm not Yeah,
you're not a fan of it. No, Well, and hopefully she
will not have died in vain and that they will not only for this specific
restaurant, but all of their restaurants, re up the qualifications, re up
the educational process, and make sure that all of their employees know or their
quote unquote cast members know if somebody has an allergy or situation that do not
serve them food that does not have the flag, like, follow all of
their precautions and if they are questioning it. It's one of those things that
it's the happiest place on earth. That's magical and the not like the customers
always right mentality, but it is that way. And if you need to,
if it is made right but there's no flag in it, still take
it back, have it made again, put that that flag in and then
take it back out. I'm sure I have gladly waited to have their food
remade. Yeah, to be sure. An investigation is underway. In another
circumstance, explosive device detonated outside the office of the Alabama Attorney General. Nobody
was hurt. The Attorney General is Steve Marshall. Law enforcement is leading the
investigation. Nobody knows what the motive is. Nobody knows. It's like nobody
knows, so do am I irresponsible for bringing that up? Is that give
people ideas? I even wonder sometimes. I think by by twenty twenty four,
a lot of people already have their own ideas. They already if they
are going to do something, they don't need to hear the report of somebody
else doing it for them to I feel like they already have these ideas,
even if they don't go that exact route, They're going to do something else,
all right. So it's not the power of suggestion, because I do
sometimes really think about that sort of thing. I think once the time that
absolutely been true power of suggestion. I just think we live in a different
world. Yeah, well, social media has changed the world for sure.
Gary Sinise is mourning the loss of his son, who is thirty three,
had a rare spinal cancer. Gary Sinise is somebody who he's a good actor,
and he's a good human being, and he gives his time to good
causes. So there are all kinds of reasons to know and acknowledge what Gary
Sinise. Apparently his son worked with that foundation that he's established. He's thirty
three. Good God, the kid played the drums. It looks like a
normal kid. How do you get cancer? That's the thing that this brings
up with me is how do you get cancer in some of these places.
What is cancer really? In this case acknowledged by doctors to be a very
rare cancer. It's called cord and he's had it since twenty eighteen. It
affects only two three hundred people a year in the United States. But you
know, well, that's really kind of what I think. When I looked
at this, I thought, my god, where did these things come from?
And I go back to what we were just talking about with regard to
the woman who had the allergies. We didn't have these kind of allergies forty
fifty sixty years ago. They didn't exist, and these rare cancers didn't exist
either. So the question here is how many maladies are there around now?
Do you even go to COVID that sort of thing that was engineered in the
laboratory and created? But then, okay, we know that, is that
where some of this other stuff comes from? Do we do? I'm asking
the question. I have strong feelings about it, but I don't know the
answer. But it seems to me, excuse me, that there is so
many different things around today that you can catch, that you can get that
can affect your body, and they weren't around before, or people say wow,
we just didn't know it or they were misdiagnosed as other things, because
so many things share symptoms and now, Yeah, it is a wonder of
how many more people are getting things or versus are we just more aware of
it. I want to see studies of location, like different countries, different
continents, of the numbers of who's getting what, how many people are getting
what, because obviously most of us believe that it is part of our nutrition.
It's the lifestyle stuff, it's the elements that we're around. We've already
seen that if people live closer to power plants, there are additional things that
they end up with. We know that we have ingredients in our food or
our food like products that other countries will not permit. So it would be
very interesting to see where all the illnesses are. Yeah, to be sure,
let's go back to your former residence, your former hometown of Nashville Police
Department. They're investigating a bomb threat at a school, the same school it
was the site last year of that mass shooting, the Covenant School, right
you know this story. Apparently an employee there got an email bomb threat,
so they cleared everybody out of the school. But what is there about the
school? What can you tell us about the school? What do you remember?
What do you know about the Covenant School? It's a religious private school.
But we've also been seeing this. I don't know if it's one of
those coincidences that happens to be the same school that the shooting took place,
but we have been seeing a lot of bomb threats to a lot of schools,
a lot of school districts, schools in certain schools in particular school districts
where all of their schools are having to check it out and they end up
being hoaxed at. But there is this uptick of bomb threats that entire districts
are getting. Good God, all right, Well, something to think about,
that's for sure. There's always something so special about getting the gift of
Omaha steaks. I know that it's one of my favorite gifts to give.
It's one of my favorite gifts to receive, and especially around holiday times when
we know we are going to be loaded up and we start planning our menus
around it. But also regardless of gifts, it's so great to just buy

We take time at least once during every program to look at the technical side
of social media, not just things that are trending, but stuff that goes
viral, like the spat between a chef and a diner and the death threats.
All right, so this is a chef in Boston with the history of
making headlines. Dissatisfied activists from New York whipped up a social media flame war
death threats. This is I'm talking about bad taste in somebody's mouth. So
this is a complicated is well, maybe it isn't so complicated. I look
at it, and I think it's complicated. Jay, do you think this
is complicated this owner of the table. I don't think it's complicated. I
definitely say where both people are coming from. But the way it was handled
is just messy. But then you have the issue with the death threats.
So you have a Boston chef who is a business owner, has a restaurant,
and then this couple from New York who had planned a trip to Boston.
They ended up having to cancel everything at the last minute. Canceled the
hotel, cancel their flights and all of that that canceled the travel, cancel
their restaurant. They were going to go to this restaurant which is really nice,
and there is a two hundred and fifty dollars cancelation fee if you cancel
within twenty four hours. Unfortunately, they just two people because cancelated two hundred
and fifty dollars for two people. Yes, yeah, a lot of nice
restaurants, Yeah, a lot of nice restaurants where you will be spending a
lot of money. They have a cancelation fee if you don't cancel within enough
notice. But the reason, no surprise, I don't know about this restaurant
in Boston. They canceled the trip because the guy got it. He was
ill. He had to be rushed to the emergency room. He was hospitalized.
And then when his husband called the restaurant about the charge, somebody on
staff was like, well, if there's a problem with it, you can
always call your insurance agency for your travel protection all of that stuff. So
they contacted their travel agency regarding the travel or their their insurance agency regarding all
of the travel protections, and that was one that they were able to get
their money back. Unfortunately, that money was then taken from the restaurant and
the restaurant owner went to social media, searched this guy out, and then
sent him a direct message saying like thanks for you know, messing over my
business. I'm a small business owner. Think twice next time you book and
decide to cancel blah blah blah blah blah and so the Yeah. So the
guy who received that message responded with a lengthy message of you know, they
were kind of appalled that this person took the time to do this and explain
the situation, and then posted that interaction to social media. What you have
other people who been on this and are sending death threats, and they're siding
with the restaurant owner and sending death threats to the guy siding with a guy
sending death threats to the restaurant owner. It got to the point where the
restaurant owner crazy says, if you look at them up on Google, it
says they're closed. They are not taking reservations even though they are still open.
If you go to open Table, you can't book a reservation. They're
not They just aren't available. But if you know this place, and you
frequent this place, and are you know a fan of this place, you
can still go there. They've had to completely change their business model because of
these death threats. Really like, people who have no business being involved in
the situation are inserting themselves in to the situation. Way too much of that.
You need people to get way too much time in their hands, all
right. We posted a question at the good Day Facebook page when times,
when times to best buy dates on products? When what do you I guess?
Basically, the questionnaire is do you pay attention? Do you follow strictly,
you know, use it by or buy it by or whatever. When
it comes to food, mostly right and yeah, yeah, do you use
the use the best buy right as a suggestion, so, Debbie says,
I throw it out. My husband, however, will eat it even if
it has green hairs growing on it. He can smell things like sour milk.
It's good for your soul. I guess maybe that would be well.
Debbie gratulations on having a tough husband. Good for you. The next Stefan
