The Duck Stephen Good Day download with Doug and Jay Kirshner is made possible in
part by Kellatrin, which is the safe way for you to lose weight and
keep it off, and also by priviging keeping your brain healthy sunshine, lollipops
roses. I was like to use that phraseology Duck Stephen and Jay Kirshner,
who is the latest incarceration not incarceration incarnin Maybe sometimes it was like sometimes jail,
let me out of here. It's a wonderful day in the neighborhood.
Things are going on, Things are going well for everybody except Ozzy Osbourne,
who seems to Yeah, yes, so that was Um. It's one of
those things where I don't want to say clickbait, but where subjects and titles
have all these different things. There are some things that there's some titles in
the news saying that Ozzy Osbourne's bandmates were fearing he was dead after missing a
really big gig. Here it was an possible overdose from a night in our
situation. Well, it's not even anything recent. They're just recalling it.
But you have to go all the way through the article to see where it's
not even a recent situation and this is like multiple articles. It's crazy.
The damn world of devices and rumors and social media and all that stuff.
Straighten it all out on our social media Facebook and Instagram has had good day.
Radio show on Twitter has just said good day on air. So here's
another name in the news beside Ozzy Osbourne, mister Zalinsky making lots of news
in the last twenty four hours. He was interviewed, as he is pretty
much every day, but in this one he said that he wouldn't be surprised.
I think the exact verbiage was, I wouldn't put it past him for
Putin and the Russians to try to blow up the nuclear plan that was rebuilt
where Chernobyl was because Chernobyl was, as I've said many times, it's built
like a cardboard box and it was bound to just self destruct. And so
they've rebuilt a nuclear plant there. And as in a lot of European and
Eastern European countries, they use nuclear energy and it's actually more efficient, more
effective, certainly less expensive. The question always is the side question. The
sidebar is what do we do with the spant rods? Okay, so that's
been dealt with a hundred times people say they don't want to do nuclear energy
because of that. That's what happened to it here in our country, but
in Europe, many places in Europe, in another place around the world,
there is a real dependence on nuclear energy. And if it's done well,
the plant's built, right, it is much better than using fossil fuels.
So anyway, well, I guess that's a determination. At any rate.
The point is that he thinks that Putin is so disturbed, so lost in
his own narcissism, that he'll do anything to win the war. And obviously
they blow up a nuclear plant that'll destroy lots of the population, but also
on that hurt a lot of Russians, and that to show, yeah,
that even goes to show how much does even care about his own people.
If this is the case, yep, right, And that is the case.
All right, So there's some food for thought. Happy Monday. It's
July the tenth, so one third of the way through the month of July,
I believe it or not. Here's another name for us to consider,
not exactly a household name, Hanif Luella. Now, this is a story
of a youngster seventeen years old who beat a life threatening disease, and now
he wants to be a doctor, and he's going to Harvard. As it
turns out, although I'm sure it's not on a he didn't. Did he
fit into the affirmative action. I don't know what colors his skin. I
guess that would he had? Well. I think heah, well, it
matters to Harvard, or at least it has signal cell disease is something that
affects black people or people in black skin more than it does anything else.
But he was so inspired. The real story here, as you're suggesting,
is that he received really good care and now he thinks he ought to be
a pre med and pay it forward. One day, he said, quote,
I would say that from a long from a young age, I was
strictly focused on medicine and becoming a doctor. He was eight years old when
he was admitted to Children's Hospital down in New York. His condition was worsening.
Doctors placed him in a coma good God. Both of his lungs collapsed.
He said he had my worst quote worst pain crisis. I had a
twenty percent chance of actually surviving for six weeks. Doctors didn't know he was
going to live or die, but he fought back and now has told his
story. He's in some experimental stem cell program. They transplanted some stem cells.
See this, I think is that this is the next step. You've
heard me talk about who can relate the story in a way to the p
r P stuff that gets done when they take your blood and they shake it
up. And then you've heard this is actually a company, it's gone nationwide
that's doing this. I'm not sure how well they're doing. And I had
mine done at at Spaulding, which is the best rehab best rehab hospital in
this area, connected to Mass General. And so my shoulders were such mess
were so messy. I couldn't move them, I couldn't do anything with them.
And so I had this done for six weeks. I took it easy
on my shoulders, had it done during the wintertime, and now my shoulders
hurt, but I have full motion. And that's the next step. If
it didn't work, they said, the next thing you would do is have
some kind of stem cell. You'd have a stem cell, not an experimental
thing, but there are as this kid is finding out some experimental stem cell
transplants. And the thing that is difficult to understand about this whole thing regarding
stem cells is that some of the religionists have said, pooh, pooh,
no, we can't do that because it's you're acting like God because you're taking
stem cells. The stem cell is the way your body obviously you're the bone
marrow and what it creates. And I remember this argument from twenty fifteen,
twenty years ago that it wasn't the church Church. A lot of really basic
fundamental religionists don't like it, however, and so it was out lawed in
America. You can't do certain stem cell stuff in America. So there are
boats floating around in the ocean that never come to shore. They stay two
hundred miles off shore, and they do all this experimentation and are all kinds
of things being done in the name of stem cell research. Oh yeah,
there's a lot of treatments that can help with Alzheimer's, potentially part of prisons.
So religion is this kind of reminds me of the gun debate. Not
that I would put but there's certain groups of thinkers who think a certain way
that's like the third rail. You can't touch it. You can't do anything
about it. It's the conversation is shut down before it begins. And that's
on both sides of the political spectrum. Things like this. There are hundreds
of thousands of people that live in this world who could survive and probably thrive
if they had access to this same stuff this kid had access to. And
so anyway, the clinical trials are continuing. They went through as some of
the things they've gone around. The research has gone around, or at least
I guess answered Jay, some of the objections that were put forth, I
don't really understand. I don't understand the objections. I do understand how this
thing works. And if I were in the same position however, this fellow
was accepted into a program, whatever it was, I would be want to
be the first one using the stuff. Yeah, and especially as drive he's
one of the future leaders and to want to be a doctor, but have
especially have that personal experience. Yeah. Oh, he brings a lot to
the table. Yeah, that's for sure. All right. So here's another
name in the news, Jamie Fox. Jamie Fox has been out of the
limelight since the first of May. I believe around the first of May he's
making that movie with Cameron Diaz, and then stroke and the beginning of mand
of April, sometime around there when the undisclosed health issue that he went his
hospital and then was in a physical therapy center for a little bit afterwards.
And I think he's been released for quite some time. So he's on a
boat in Chicago. According to this story in the on the Chicago River.
They said appeared to be healthy. How do you see that from from a
boat across the Well, he's walking around, he's waiting at fans, it's
happy. Yeah, Well here's another sighting. Yeah. But in terms of
what you just said a few minutes ago and the stem cell thing tying those
together, he probably has is in a position to be able to be able
to use things like that. He would have enough influence and money and hooch
and connections and whatever it is. And that's the trouble with our medical system,
and it's getting worse instead of better. That is that people who have
the ability to pay for certain things will have a longer lifespan than those who
don't have the money to pay for them because the system is breaking down,
it's melting. I have I told you this story not long ago. Of
the general practitioner that I had for I don't know, twenty three, twenty
four years, and he said, well, from now on, if you
want to be my page, you gotta pay us twenty five hundred bucks a
year. I said, in addition to the insurance that you get. Yep,
and just we can't make it. The insurance doesn't pay enough anymore.
In our expenses are going up. So and I chose not to do it
at the time. I was thinking about it yesterday. Whether that was a
smart mistake, a smart move, or a mistake, I don't know.
I know a lot of people are thinking what do I do and that circumstance,
that's a great question, frankly, one to ponder. Working on ways
of bringing you around to seeing how good life can be, even though there
will be distractions. And one of the distractions I find is that Elton John
is on a farewell tour and he's saying sort of, well, i'll give
you the story behind the show because it's well, he's at the same age
as I am, so he's decided he's had enough touring. This guy is
worth conservatively somewhere between three hundred and thirty and four hundred and fifty million dollars,
So it's not like it's not like he needs the doll but at any
rate that doesn't that's not really the motivator for a lot of people who do
this stuff. It isn't the money. It's what he has and others and
enjoy if Certainly when they get started it was the dough, but you know,
you get further along, what do you do if you got more than
a one hundred million, one hundred and fifty million, what do you do
with it? I remember as a disc jockey, I was playing John music
in the early seventies, So that's how far back he goes. Actually,
fifty two years he's been on the road, and he says he's now had
enough. Well, yeah, the very final show of his epic Good Buy
Yellow Brick Road Tour or Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour over three one hundred and
thirty dates, has officially come to an end. He is done. He's
not done with music, and I'm sure there will be some residencies here and
there, but as far as actual touring goes, he is done. M
Yeah, residencies are where a lot of these people go, even if they
don't if they're younger like Dale is probably the most recent example of somebody who
just okay, we'll take up Celine. Dion did it for a long time
for a while, ye too, right, yep, exactly. So.
Anyway, the things that he sang, Benny and the Jets, that was
something dancing kicked off the show with him. Yeah right, Candle in the
Wind? Does he sing the pop version or did he sing the Diana version
when he's doing that the Candle in the Wind's yeah right, I didn't think
about it. I would rather live it. Well, I thought the Diana
version is the only one he has. No, no, no, somebody
didn't somebody else sing the pop version? I thought that was the song.
Nope, he had a hit with it before. That's why they did it
the way they did it. He changed the lyrics, but he had a
song called Candle in the Wind that was before Diana. So I thought that
was you and you didn't know that. That's even more interesting I find.
Yeah, yeah, I thought it was somebody. I thought somebody else had
did the original than he. In the Diana why, I feel like almost
was more famous. Oh yeah, sold a million copies in a day.
Yeah, and then of course, very fittingly. He closed out the show
with Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, right after he played your song. That had
to have been see this tour anyway would have been amazing. But to see
that very final show, and he had Chris Martin from Coldplay on the dais
with him the last one, so that was yeah, very memorable, no
question about it. Nine hundred million dollars in ticket sales for this. I

suns out. Well not where I am. That rain that's come across from
the Midwest. Did you have a lot of rain over the weekend? We
had some, We had some showers. Yeah. There are a couple of
rain delays for baseball games. Yep. Oh, so who won? That's
a good question. I think the Guardians one. I think the Guardians one.
Silly names Saturday, they did what Guardians instead of the Indians? They're
the Indians Guardians. We'll see. I'm Cleveland, you know, the Guardians
on the bridge, the famous bridge and everything. Yeah. I think it
was more of an issue, well for me personally, that they're already a
team called there's already a team called the Cleveland Guardians. Roller Derby, Yeah,
Derby. I love women's roly Derby. Let's watch them push each other
around. The good news today. This is our job, by the way,
to bring you up to date. You heard the news broadcast, usually
on news talk station's top and bottom the hour, we'll talk about some of
the things that you heard about in the news and some things that you didn't
that are in the news. For example, I think last week we were
talking and it was a quick conversation about what's going on in Mesa, Arizona.
They're trying to make it an autism friendly city. Very interesting. It
turns out after that happened that that isn't the only place that's opening up its
doors to people of all different abilities across the spectrum. There is when this
is a new term. Okay, there's always going to be a new term.
I don't know that it is. It can be applicable, serfits.
The new term is neurodiversity. Oh that's you've heard. I've never heard of
it before. Have you heard of it? Yeah? Neurodiversity? Really?
Okay, how have you applied it or how have you heard it applied?
Typically in terms of being on the spectrum and a lot of people figuring out
if they're neurodivergent, some cues where they could be neurodivergent without fully being on
the spectrum, tendencies, habits. Really, maybe I just have no concept
of time. Maybe it is new and it just seems like it's it may
not. I'm not the guy who always hears some of these things. First,
I create a lot of words on my own excuse me, and so
this is something when I thought, yeah, it makes sense. There is
a lot of attention, but not enough in my mind to mental health and
well being things that happen to people. And I have with my friend Jack
probably more doctor Jack Stockwell, who's one of the two doctors involved in Good
Day Health, he probably would draw this conclusion more quickly than Ken cronhaus Wood
as to the vaccines and what they do. As a matter of fact,
I think that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Is saying one of the reasons
he's not a big fan of vaccines is because he has a vocal problem,
an issue with his voice that he says comes from a vaccine that he got
that interreacted with something in his body and caused him to talk the way that
he speaks. His voice is different. Interesting. Well, that's one of
those things too that came out a lot with COVID. If anybody was against
the COVID vaccine, they were automatically anti vaxers, which that's an anti vaxer
is somebody who is against all vaccines, not just specific vaccines. I'm not
an anti vaxer, are you. No, you're not either. I'm terrified
of the COVID vaccine. I had such horrible reactions. Well at the time
the third dose happened, I was like, absolutely not, and I am
choosing to my husband, I are both choosing not to have our child vaccinated
against COVID but all the other vaccines. There, You go, nothing wrong
with that independent thinking. Then if it had been that way two years ago,
Let's say you had a child that was max age maybe a little older,
going to school, and the requirement was that you had to have your
child vaccinated in order to get him at school, which is reality. Yes,
right, So you didn't want because you didn't like for whatever the reason.
You're a medical professional and you've done the research, and there are questions
that you have that haven't been answered as to the impact down the road,
either now or down the road about the vaccines. So you choose not to
have your child vaccinated for this, and then you're told you can't send your
child to school without a vaccine, without being vaccinated, and you say,
well, okay, I'm going to claim religious what do they call it?
You have a religious exemption, and this person's not really doesn't really have a
religious exemption, but it's the only way that she can, under the circumstances,
have her conscience satisfied that she's not introducing into her child's body something that
she doesn't think is good for a child's body. Having had I've listened.
I had the first round, and I think I was pretty supportive of it.
But the more I thought about it, the more I learned about it,
the more people who I respect told me not to do it, I
decided I didn't need it. Yeah, I didn't have COVID anyway, never
have had COVID. Maybe that I knock on wood is because I have a
good, strong immune system, or you could have had it, but because
you had no symptoms, had no idea. I mean, that's why I
had closer no symptoms the first time I had COVID, I wouldn't have known
had my son not been sick, and I tested myself before taking him to
urgent here. When I had it the second time, I mean, it
was a night and day difference. It was absolutely awful. But the good
thing is COVID is not one of the required immunizations for schools, not smallpox
and stuff like that. Yeah, right, and again, and if if
you don't want your child to be vaccinated for whatever reason against what the schools
actually necessary, there are other polio, small park. I think I get
a vaccine for that. Oh yeah yeah, Mac has had all the vaccines,
just not the COVID one. But you can choose to keep your kid
at home or do the homeschooling or whatever, or if there is a written
statement from the parent or guardian objecting to the immunization for a good cause which
includes the religious religious convictions like you stated before, Doug. They are not
required to be to be vaccinated. They do have like um, I don't
want to say loopholes, but to hide behind that, have to hide behind
that, I think is a well if you're lying about it, if it's
not really no, I'm just saying that it shouldn't come either decide it's a
free country and you're one, or you know want We were so cowed,
we were so hearded, we were so pushed into this thinking because of the
news media, government whatever it is, and the so called authority of guys
like Fauci that turned out to be phonies. And so what did all of
this means? You notice there's no talk of it now anymore. None,
no, nothing's required. You can travel anywhere. So did that just to
evaporate COVID? Still there it is, And I think it's one of those
things that there were so much unknown around it when it first came that now
there is a little bit more known, and that it does hit people.
It hits people differently. You can be super healthy and get very sick.
You could have all these health issues and barely even noticed you have COVID or
or vice versa. And for me, I as somebody who has lung issues,
and this was presented as such an issue with anybody who has some problems.
I was terrified of COVID. I was like, Hey, as soon
as I can get that vaccine, I am here for it. I got
the first dose and I was sick from that vaccine the second dose. I
was even sicker by the third one. I was so violently ill that I
became telling terrified to even get another dose. And if I'm terrified to do
that to my own body, why am I going to put that in my
child's body? Yeah? Right, No, you don't nope, Okay,
speaking of being sick, thirty two people went to the hospital after a double
deck or bus crashed into a city bus in Manhattan on East twenty third Street.
The fire chief looking at this lucky as serious accident. But imagine two
buses crashing into each other. Nobody had life threatening injuries, but there were
sixty three people that were evaluated by the doctor at the site. Cuts,
bruises, that sort of thing. But think about that. Probably they wouldn't
laugh about it now. But what are you know? Think about it?
What? What? What do you suppose the odds are of two buses colliding
with one another and doing you know, the kind of damage that it did.
They boned the city bus. Um, well, no, the tour
the double decker went through a red light and t boned the city bus.
That's what happened. And the people that were in the bus is the two
of them said it was like an earthquake. The bus rattled and shook,
and yeah, you're in a bus. Hiti opens screaming. Be careful.
The Northern Lights may be visible from as many as seventeen different states later this
week. You want to check that out. Hopefully you'll have clear skies and
you can see the northern lights. Northern part of our country, mostly the
states in the northern part, will be seeing the northern lights. Have you
ever seen them? I have not, and I want to. There have
been a couple of times where conditions are potentially right that we might have a
chance to see them, and then you just you never see them. Nothing
ever happens. But people have I think decades, I don't know, like
maybe forty years ago there was supposedly a really nice Aurora Borealis show over Lake
Erie that Cleveland could seem all right. Time to celebrate Hot off the presses.
A lot of people that are your age and younger don't even know what
a newspaper is. You'd laugh at me every day I'm going through you hear
me shuffling through newspapers. There are newspapers that are existing and thriving, even
though there is a decline in print circulation. I think that's putting it mildly
right. It just seems old fashioned. Can you imagine somebody having a paper
route? Do you even know, James, you don't want to pay per
route? Is they still have those? They don't think? You don't know
what a paper route is tell me where do they have them? Where do
they have with Jay? Where do they have the paper roots? I mean
here they're in the mood. Yeah, you have to subscribe to it.
Yeah, it's nobody that gets it but you around four am that somebody drives
around and oh yeah, yeah, I just didn't know that was what it
was called. Okay, but that makes sense. Yeah, okay, what
would you think it would be called? Come up with a good roan.
We're looking for names today. Come up with a good run. It's not
a paper route, it's a and filling the paper route. Okay. So
where are there cities where there is a healthy newspaper? I guess the healthiest
one is Charleston, South Carolina. As it happens, the newspaper was founded
in Charleston an eighteen o three and is still covering breaking news. The first
story that it wrote or covered was the purchasing of what was called then the
Louisiana Purchase in eighteen oh three. You know about that? Okay, here's
the history test. Jay, you know about the Louisiana Purchase, right of
course? Please all right, James, do you know about the correct answer
is yes, yes, I know about the Louisiana. Okay, tell us
what the Louisiana purchase is? All right, hold on, let me open
up a Google right exactly anyway, So there are still seventy million people in
our country the estimates that are according to the Newspaper Association of America that live
in places where they get a newspaper. Likewise, there are seventy million Americans
who live in news deserts where there's no local news source whatsoever. We've seen
that happen. I remember when I started working on the local Framingham radio station
in nineteen seventy one. We had a news manager, a news department.
This was a small, one thousand WAT radio station. We had live people
on the air all day long. That kind of stuff kapitsky now. And
so that's why it's important, I think, not just to have a newspaper,
but to have a good one. So it's great business time for Caldron.

be one of those. Last winter we talked about him getting stomach cancer.
When you look at it, almost a two year battle. He didn't let
the public know about it until last year, but yeah, yes he was
diagnosed. To believe the fall of twenty twenty one, and then he announced
it publicly June twenty twenty two. I wonder what lies twenty three? Yeah,
what causes stomach cancer? How would you get? I mean you can
say, well, what causes any cancer? Some things are more deliberate.
Usually stomach cancers, from what I know about them, come from your bodies
rejecting certain things that you eat and or drink. I know that people who
are alcoholics sometimes get a stomach cancer problem because it eats away you get any
It starts with an ulcer often and can be it does not always, but
it starts with an ulcer and then it gets worse for you know, any
number of reasons, again depending on diet, which put in your stomach,
etc. And then there's other gastro intestinal diseases and issues that when not maintained,
can lead to stomach cancer as well. Yeah. Right, so he
apparently is still undergoing chemo. But he's on the road though, isn't he?
A neop performance shows in Oklahoma recently? When you say pop up shows,
what does that mean? What's that pop up show? Not quite planned
in the sense of, you know, most tours that we see really just
kind of he's going to be playing here, show up, have fun.
What are the costs when you're involved in something like that versus a regular the
concert that you have to go buy tickets for an advance? Well, it's
a I don't know the exact parameters for this particular one, but in Nashville
there'd be pop up shows all the time where there would be an artist who
maybe had new music they wanted to test out, and they would call up
one of the bars and say, hey, can I come play from this
time to this time and they'd show up. Sometimes people knew that they were
going to be there and they could go to the free show. Other times
they had no idea that this person was even going to be there. M
Yeah, I mean you could be a complete I would think that what's that
bar? That what's his face? Is open to Nashville. I've been He
shows up there all the time and they just have which one? There's so
many of them have and they do brooks oh Garth. Yeah, so yeah,
I'm sure he's going to be there a lot. Blake Shelton has been
known to show up at his Luke Bryan shows up at his bar. M.
So is that why you go because you hope. Is that why you'd
spend the door and pay twice for genormally would for a beer just to maybe
rub noses? Or she's the star wandering on occasions that what makes it more
sometimes, you know, with the world of Instagram and everything that's good,
good photos, good, is there the next Stephen Good Day Down with Doug
