1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:04,360 The Duck Stephen Good Day download with Doug and Jay Kirshner is made possible in 2 00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:08,039 part by Kellatrin, which is the safe way for you to lose weight and 3 00:00:08,279 --> 00:00:14,720 keep it off, and also by priviging keeping your brain healthy sunshine, lollipops 4 00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:20,320 roses. I was like to use that phraseology Duck Stephen and Jay Kirshner, 5 00:00:20,839 --> 00:00:28,800 who is the latest incarceration not incarceration incarnin Maybe sometimes it was like sometimes jail, 6 00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:33,719 let me out of here. It's a wonderful day in the neighborhood. 7 00:00:33,799 --> 00:00:39,000 Things are going on, Things are going well for everybody except Ozzy Osbourne, 8 00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:45,520 who seems to Yeah, yes, so that was Um. It's one of 9 00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:49,799 those things where I don't want to say clickbait, but where subjects and titles 10 00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:53,320 have all these different things. There are some things that there's some titles in 11 00:00:53,359 --> 00:00:59,520 the news saying that Ozzy Osbourne's bandmates were fearing he was dead after missing a 12 00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:04,280 really big gig. Here it was an possible overdose from a night in our 13 00:01:04,359 --> 00:01:08,319 situation. Well, it's not even anything recent. They're just recalling it. 14 00:01:08,879 --> 00:01:12,840 But you have to go all the way through the article to see where it's 15 00:01:12,879 --> 00:01:18,760 not even a recent situation and this is like multiple articles. It's crazy. 16 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:26,480 The damn world of devices and rumors and social media and all that stuff. 17 00:01:26,519 --> 00:01:30,480 Straighten it all out on our social media Facebook and Instagram has had good day. 18 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:34,519 Radio show on Twitter has just said good day on air. So here's 19 00:01:34,519 --> 00:01:41,120 another name in the news beside Ozzy Osbourne, mister Zalinsky making lots of news 20 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,959 in the last twenty four hours. He was interviewed, as he is pretty 21 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:51,079 much every day, but in this one he said that he wouldn't be surprised. 22 00:01:51,159 --> 00:01:55,879 I think the exact verbiage was, I wouldn't put it past him for 23 00:01:56,120 --> 00:02:01,159 Putin and the Russians to try to blow up the nuclear plan that was rebuilt 24 00:02:01,599 --> 00:02:07,439 where Chernobyl was because Chernobyl was, as I've said many times, it's built 25 00:02:07,439 --> 00:02:14,120 like a cardboard box and it was bound to just self destruct. And so 26 00:02:14,159 --> 00:02:19,360 they've rebuilt a nuclear plant there. And as in a lot of European and 27 00:02:19,439 --> 00:02:23,240 Eastern European countries, they use nuclear energy and it's actually more efficient, more 28 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:29,439 effective, certainly less expensive. The question always is the side question. The 29 00:02:29,439 --> 00:02:31,680 sidebar is what do we do with the spant rods? Okay, so that's 30 00:02:31,719 --> 00:02:36,400 been dealt with a hundred times people say they don't want to do nuclear energy 31 00:02:36,439 --> 00:02:39,159 because of that. That's what happened to it here in our country, but 32 00:02:39,319 --> 00:02:43,800 in Europe, many places in Europe, in another place around the world, 33 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:50,240 there is a real dependence on nuclear energy. And if it's done well, 34 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:54,919 the plant's built, right, it is much better than using fossil fuels. 35 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:59,280 So anyway, well, I guess that's a determination. At any rate. 36 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:07,000 The point is that he thinks that Putin is so disturbed, so lost in 37 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:13,879 his own narcissism, that he'll do anything to win the war. And obviously 38 00:03:14,039 --> 00:03:17,840 they blow up a nuclear plant that'll destroy lots of the population, but also 39 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:23,800 on that hurt a lot of Russians, and that to show, yeah, 40 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:25,280 that even goes to show how much does even care about his own people. 41 00:03:25,319 --> 00:03:29,759 If this is the case, yep, right, And that is the case. 42 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:34,840 All right, So there's some food for thought. Happy Monday. It's 43 00:03:34,919 --> 00:03:38,919 July the tenth, so one third of the way through the month of July, 44 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:42,840 I believe it or not. Here's another name for us to consider, 45 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:52,479 not exactly a household name, Hanif Luella. Now, this is a story 46 00:03:52,960 --> 00:04:00,479 of a youngster seventeen years old who beat a life threatening disease, and now 47 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,879 he wants to be a doctor, and he's going to Harvard. As it 48 00:04:03,919 --> 00:04:09,680 turns out, although I'm sure it's not on a he didn't. Did he 49 00:04:09,759 --> 00:04:13,680 fit into the affirmative action. I don't know what colors his skin. I 50 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:18,000 guess that would he had? Well. I think heah, well, it 51 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:23,079 matters to Harvard, or at least it has signal cell disease is something that 52 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:28,040 affects black people or people in black skin more than it does anything else. 53 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,439 But he was so inspired. The real story here, as you're suggesting, 54 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:38,439 is that he received really good care and now he thinks he ought to be 55 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:44,120 a pre med and pay it forward. One day, he said, quote, 56 00:04:44,879 --> 00:04:47,560 I would say that from a long from a young age, I was 57 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:55,319 strictly focused on medicine and becoming a doctor. He was eight years old when 58 00:04:55,319 --> 00:05:00,639 he was admitted to Children's Hospital down in New York. His condition was worsening. 59 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:05,240 Doctors placed him in a coma good God. Both of his lungs collapsed. 60 00:05:06,439 --> 00:05:12,160 He said he had my worst quote worst pain crisis. I had a 61 00:05:12,199 --> 00:05:16,399 twenty percent chance of actually surviving for six weeks. Doctors didn't know he was 62 00:05:16,439 --> 00:05:21,759 going to live or die, but he fought back and now has told his 63 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:29,600 story. He's in some experimental stem cell program. They transplanted some stem cells. 64 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:31,879 See this, I think is that this is the next step. You've 65 00:05:31,879 --> 00:05:38,480 heard me talk about who can relate the story in a way to the p 66 00:05:38,759 --> 00:05:42,439 r P stuff that gets done when they take your blood and they shake it 67 00:05:42,519 --> 00:05:46,800 up. And then you've heard this is actually a company, it's gone nationwide 68 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:48,879 that's doing this. I'm not sure how well they're doing. And I had 69 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:57,279 mine done at at Spaulding, which is the best rehab best rehab hospital in 70 00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:01,279 this area, connected to Mass General. And so my shoulders were such mess 71 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,800 were so messy. I couldn't move them, I couldn't do anything with them. 72 00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:10,480 And so I had this done for six weeks. I took it easy 73 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:13,920 on my shoulders, had it done during the wintertime, and now my shoulders 74 00:06:13,959 --> 00:06:15,920 hurt, but I have full motion. And that's the next step. If 75 00:06:15,959 --> 00:06:18,839 it didn't work, they said, the next thing you would do is have 76 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:24,879 some kind of stem cell. You'd have a stem cell, not an experimental 77 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:29,560 thing, but there are as this kid is finding out some experimental stem cell 78 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:33,680 transplants. And the thing that is difficult to understand about this whole thing regarding 79 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:38,920 stem cells is that some of the religionists have said, pooh, pooh, 80 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:45,199 no, we can't do that because it's you're acting like God because you're taking 81 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:50,000 stem cells. The stem cell is the way your body obviously you're the bone 82 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:56,160 marrow and what it creates. And I remember this argument from twenty fifteen, 83 00:06:56,199 --> 00:07:00,839 twenty years ago that it wasn't the church Church. A lot of really basic 84 00:07:00,879 --> 00:07:04,879 fundamental religionists don't like it, however, and so it was out lawed in 85 00:07:04,879 --> 00:07:11,800 America. You can't do certain stem cell stuff in America. So there are 86 00:07:11,839 --> 00:07:15,480 boats floating around in the ocean that never come to shore. They stay two 87 00:07:15,519 --> 00:07:18,759 hundred miles off shore, and they do all this experimentation and are all kinds 88 00:07:18,759 --> 00:07:23,600 of things being done in the name of stem cell research. Oh yeah, 89 00:07:23,639 --> 00:07:28,160 there's a lot of treatments that can help with Alzheimer's, potentially part of prisons. 90 00:07:28,959 --> 00:07:33,079 So religion is this kind of reminds me of the gun debate. Not 91 00:07:33,199 --> 00:07:39,079 that I would put but there's certain groups of thinkers who think a certain way 92 00:07:39,639 --> 00:07:43,519 that's like the third rail. You can't touch it. You can't do anything 93 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:47,000 about it. It's the conversation is shut down before it begins. And that's 94 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:51,240 on both sides of the political spectrum. Things like this. There are hundreds 95 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:56,879 of thousands of people that live in this world who could survive and probably thrive 96 00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:03,079 if they had access to this same stuff this kid had access to. And 97 00:08:03,519 --> 00:08:09,519 so anyway, the clinical trials are continuing. They went through as some of 98 00:08:09,519 --> 00:08:13,399 the things they've gone around. The research has gone around, or at least 99 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:20,800 I guess answered Jay, some of the objections that were put forth, I 100 00:08:20,839 --> 00:08:24,160 don't really understand. I don't understand the objections. I do understand how this 101 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:28,920 thing works. And if I were in the same position however, this fellow 102 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:33,399 was accepted into a program, whatever it was, I would be want to 103 00:08:33,399 --> 00:08:37,720 be the first one using the stuff. Yeah, and especially as drive he's 104 00:08:37,799 --> 00:08:43,159 one of the future leaders and to want to be a doctor, but have 105 00:08:43,399 --> 00:08:46,679 especially have that personal experience. Yeah. Oh, he brings a lot to 106 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:50,720 the table. Yeah, that's for sure. All right. So here's another 107 00:08:50,799 --> 00:08:56,120 name in the news, Jamie Fox. Jamie Fox has been out of the 108 00:08:56,240 --> 00:09:01,639 limelight since the first of May. I believe around the first of May he's 109 00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:05,759 making that movie with Cameron Diaz, and then stroke and the beginning of mand 110 00:09:05,759 --> 00:09:11,840 of April, sometime around there when the undisclosed health issue that he went his 111 00:09:11,039 --> 00:09:16,360 hospital and then was in a physical therapy center for a little bit afterwards. 112 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:20,159 And I think he's been released for quite some time. So he's on a 113 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:24,480 boat in Chicago. According to this story in the on the Chicago River. 114 00:09:26,159 --> 00:09:30,960 They said appeared to be healthy. How do you see that from from a 115 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:35,679 boat across the Well, he's walking around, he's waiting at fans, it's 116 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:41,080 happy. Yeah, Well here's another sighting. Yeah. But in terms of 117 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:46,320 what you just said a few minutes ago and the stem cell thing tying those 118 00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:54,039 together, he probably has is in a position to be able to be able 119 00:09:54,039 --> 00:09:58,240 to use things like that. He would have enough influence and money and hooch 120 00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:03,039 and connections and whatever it is. And that's the trouble with our medical system, 121 00:10:03,039 --> 00:10:07,159 and it's getting worse instead of better. That is that people who have 122 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:13,480 the ability to pay for certain things will have a longer lifespan than those who 123 00:10:13,519 --> 00:10:18,600 don't have the money to pay for them because the system is breaking down, 124 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:22,000 it's melting. I have I told you this story not long ago. Of 125 00:10:24,039 --> 00:10:28,440 the general practitioner that I had for I don't know, twenty three, twenty 126 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:30,679 four years, and he said, well, from now on, if you 127 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:31,919 want to be my page, you gotta pay us twenty five hundred bucks a 128 00:10:33,039 --> 00:10:35,399 year. I said, in addition to the insurance that you get. Yep, 129 00:10:35,639 --> 00:10:39,679 and just we can't make it. The insurance doesn't pay enough anymore. 130 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:41,960 In our expenses are going up. So and I chose not to do it 131 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,360 at the time. I was thinking about it yesterday. Whether that was a 132 00:10:46,399 --> 00:10:50,200 smart mistake, a smart move, or a mistake, I don't know. 133 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:54,000 I know a lot of people are thinking what do I do and that circumstance, 134 00:10:54,080 --> 00:11:03,360 that's a great question, frankly, one to ponder. Working on ways 135 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:07,879 of bringing you around to seeing how good life can be, even though there 136 00:11:07,919 --> 00:11:11,320 will be distractions. And one of the distractions I find is that Elton John 137 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:18,720 is on a farewell tour and he's saying sort of, well, i'll give 138 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:20,799 you the story behind the show because it's well, he's at the same age 139 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:26,000 as I am, so he's decided he's had enough touring. This guy is 140 00:11:26,039 --> 00:11:33,799 worth conservatively somewhere between three hundred and thirty and four hundred and fifty million dollars, 141 00:11:33,799 --> 00:11:37,759 So it's not like it's not like he needs the doll but at any 142 00:11:37,879 --> 00:11:43,000 rate that doesn't that's not really the motivator for a lot of people who do 143 00:11:43,039 --> 00:11:46,320 this stuff. It isn't the money. It's what he has and others and 144 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,759 enjoy if Certainly when they get started it was the dough, but you know, 145 00:11:50,799 --> 00:11:52,919 you get further along, what do you do if you got more than 146 00:11:52,919 --> 00:11:54,960 a one hundred million, one hundred and fifty million, what do you do 147 00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:00,679 with it? I remember as a disc jockey, I was playing John music 148 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,279 in the early seventies, So that's how far back he goes. Actually, 149 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:09,840 fifty two years he's been on the road, and he says he's now had 150 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:15,240 enough. Well, yeah, the very final show of his epic Good Buy 151 00:12:15,279 --> 00:12:20,759 Yellow Brick Road Tour or Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour over three one hundred and 152 00:12:20,799 --> 00:12:24,679 thirty dates, has officially come to an end. He is done. He's 153 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:26,919 not done with music, and I'm sure there will be some residencies here and 154 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:31,919 there, but as far as actual touring goes, he is done. M 155 00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:37,039 Yeah, residencies are where a lot of these people go, even if they 156 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:41,320 don't if they're younger like Dale is probably the most recent example of somebody who 157 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:43,919 just okay, we'll take up Celine. Dion did it for a long time 158 00:12:45,159 --> 00:12:48,120 for a while, ye too, right, yep, exactly. So. 159 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:52,440 Anyway, the things that he sang, Benny and the Jets, that was 160 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:56,879 something dancing kicked off the show with him. Yeah right, Candle in the 161 00:12:56,919 --> 00:13:01,600 Wind? Does he sing the pop version or did he sing the Diana version 162 00:13:01,639 --> 00:13:07,919 when he's doing that the Candle in the Wind's yeah right, I didn't think 163 00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:11,200 about it. I would rather live it. Well, I thought the Diana 164 00:13:11,279 --> 00:13:13,440 version is the only one he has. No, no, no, somebody 165 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:16,440 didn't somebody else sing the pop version? I thought that was the song. 166 00:13:16,759 --> 00:13:20,600 Nope, he had a hit with it before. That's why they did it 167 00:13:20,639 --> 00:13:22,360 the way they did it. He changed the lyrics, but he had a 168 00:13:24,039 --> 00:13:28,120 song called Candle in the Wind that was before Diana. So I thought that 169 00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:31,120 was you and you didn't know that. That's even more interesting I find. 170 00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:33,919 Yeah, yeah, I thought it was somebody. I thought somebody else had 171 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:37,480 did the original than he. In the Diana why, I feel like almost 172 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:41,440 was more famous. Oh yeah, sold a million copies in a day. 173 00:13:41,519 --> 00:13:45,720 Yeah, and then of course, very fittingly. He closed out the show 174 00:13:45,799 --> 00:13:48,480 with Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, right after he played your song. That had 175 00:13:48,519 --> 00:13:52,159 to have been see this tour anyway would have been amazing. But to see 176 00:13:52,159 --> 00:13:58,559 that very final show, and he had Chris Martin from Coldplay on the dais 177 00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:03,320 with him the last one, so that was yeah, very memorable, no 178 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:09,200 question about it. Nine hundred million dollars in ticket sales for this. I 179 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:13,360 am Robert Strickler. My wife Joyce and I have been married for fifty three 180 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:18,559 years. Certainly one of the really important things in my life are our children 181 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:24,200 and our grandchildren. I am essentially a writer. I've been involved in communications 182 00:14:24,279 --> 00:14:28,919 in the media. I've been an avid fly fisherman for at least forty or 183 00:14:28,919 --> 00:14:33,120 more years. I've been taking Privigen on a regular basis for at least eight 184 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:39,159 years. For me, the greatest benefit over the years has been that Privigen 185 00:14:39,279 --> 00:14:43,960 seems to help me recall things and also think more clearly, have a crisper 186 00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:50,000 ability to remember and think through things. And I enthusiastically recommend Privigen. It 187 00:14:50,039 --> 00:14:56,840 has helped me an awful lot. Provigen healthier brain, better life. Robert 188 00:14:56,840 --> 00:15:01,000 Strickler is a content contributor for Privigen and real user on a clinical study of 189 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:05,039 subgroups of individuals who are cognitively normal or mildly impaired. This product is not 190 00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:09,600 intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Our shadows 191 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:15,159 suns out. Well not where I am. That rain that's come across from 192 00:15:15,159 --> 00:15:18,360 the Midwest. Did you have a lot of rain over the weekend? We 193 00:15:18,399 --> 00:15:20,240 had some, We had some showers. Yeah. There are a couple of 194 00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:26,320 rain delays for baseball games. Yep. Oh, so who won? That's 195 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:30,159 a good question. I think the Guardians one. I think the Guardians one. 196 00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:35,679 Silly names Saturday, they did what Guardians instead of the Indians? They're 197 00:15:35,679 --> 00:15:41,600 the Indians Guardians. We'll see. I'm Cleveland, you know, the Guardians 198 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:45,759 on the bridge, the famous bridge and everything. Yeah. I think it 199 00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,320 was more of an issue, well for me personally, that they're already a 200 00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:54,559 team called there's already a team called the Cleveland Guardians. Roller Derby, Yeah, 201 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:58,799 Derby. I love women's roly Derby. Let's watch them push each other 202 00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:04,279 around. The good news today. This is our job, by the way, 203 00:16:04,519 --> 00:16:08,559 to bring you up to date. You heard the news broadcast, usually 204 00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:12,879 on news talk station's top and bottom the hour, we'll talk about some of 205 00:16:12,919 --> 00:16:17,039 the things that you heard about in the news and some things that you didn't 206 00:16:17,039 --> 00:16:22,360 that are in the news. For example, I think last week we were 207 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:26,559 talking and it was a quick conversation about what's going on in Mesa, Arizona. 208 00:16:26,679 --> 00:16:33,559 They're trying to make it an autism friendly city. Very interesting. It 209 00:16:33,559 --> 00:16:40,639 turns out after that happened that that isn't the only place that's opening up its 210 00:16:40,679 --> 00:16:47,200 doors to people of all different abilities across the spectrum. There is when this 211 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,000 is a new term. Okay, there's always going to be a new term. 212 00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:53,399 I don't know that it is. It can be applicable, serfits. 213 00:16:53,720 --> 00:17:00,559 The new term is neurodiversity. Oh that's you've heard. I've never heard of 214 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,640 it before. Have you heard of it? Yeah? Neurodiversity? Really? 215 00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:10,160 Okay, how have you applied it or how have you heard it applied? 216 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:15,839 Typically in terms of being on the spectrum and a lot of people figuring out 217 00:17:15,839 --> 00:17:19,519 if they're neurodivergent, some cues where they could be neurodivergent without fully being on 218 00:17:19,519 --> 00:17:26,839 the spectrum, tendencies, habits. Really, maybe I just have no concept 219 00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:30,799 of time. Maybe it is new and it just seems like it's it may 220 00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:33,920 not. I'm not the guy who always hears some of these things. First, 221 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:37,680 I create a lot of words on my own excuse me, and so 222 00:17:38,839 --> 00:17:42,599 this is something when I thought, yeah, it makes sense. There is 223 00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:48,359 a lot of attention, but not enough in my mind to mental health and 224 00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:55,200 well being things that happen to people. And I have with my friend Jack 225 00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:59,799 probably more doctor Jack Stockwell, who's one of the two doctors involved in Good 226 00:17:59,839 --> 00:18:04,519 Day Health, he probably would draw this conclusion more quickly than Ken cronhaus Wood 227 00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:10,039 as to the vaccines and what they do. As a matter of fact, 228 00:18:10,079 --> 00:18:14,079 I think that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Is saying one of the reasons 229 00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:18,319 he's not a big fan of vaccines is because he has a vocal problem, 230 00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:23,480 an issue with his voice that he says comes from a vaccine that he got 231 00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:29,400 that interreacted with something in his body and caused him to talk the way that 232 00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:33,599 he speaks. His voice is different. Interesting. Well, that's one of 233 00:18:33,599 --> 00:18:36,319 those things too that came out a lot with COVID. If anybody was against 234 00:18:36,319 --> 00:18:40,759 the COVID vaccine, they were automatically anti vaxers, which that's an anti vaxer 235 00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:45,400 is somebody who is against all vaccines, not just specific vaccines. I'm not 236 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:49,000 an anti vaxer, are you. No, you're not either. I'm terrified 237 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:52,079 of the COVID vaccine. I had such horrible reactions. Well at the time 238 00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:55,599 the third dose happened, I was like, absolutely not, and I am 239 00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:59,119 choosing to my husband, I are both choosing not to have our child vaccinated 240 00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:03,400 against COVID but all the other vaccines. There, You go, nothing wrong 241 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:07,640 with that independent thinking. Then if it had been that way two years ago, 242 00:19:08,799 --> 00:19:14,759 Let's say you had a child that was max age maybe a little older, 243 00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:19,720 going to school, and the requirement was that you had to have your 244 00:19:19,839 --> 00:19:25,400 child vaccinated in order to get him at school, which is reality. Yes, 245 00:19:25,599 --> 00:19:29,920 right, So you didn't want because you didn't like for whatever the reason. 246 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:34,880 You're a medical professional and you've done the research, and there are questions 247 00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:38,480 that you have that haven't been answered as to the impact down the road, 248 00:19:38,599 --> 00:19:44,039 either now or down the road about the vaccines. So you choose not to 249 00:19:44,079 --> 00:19:49,799 have your child vaccinated for this, and then you're told you can't send your 250 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:53,640 child to school without a vaccine, without being vaccinated, and you say, 251 00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:59,559 well, okay, I'm going to claim religious what do they call it? 252 00:20:00,839 --> 00:20:04,839 You have a religious exemption, and this person's not really doesn't really have a 253 00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:10,519 religious exemption, but it's the only way that she can, under the circumstances, 254 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:17,720 have her conscience satisfied that she's not introducing into her child's body something that 255 00:20:17,759 --> 00:20:22,000 she doesn't think is good for a child's body. Having had I've listened. 256 00:20:22,039 --> 00:20:26,079 I had the first round, and I think I was pretty supportive of it. 257 00:20:26,599 --> 00:20:30,519 But the more I thought about it, the more I learned about it, 258 00:20:30,519 --> 00:20:33,559 the more people who I respect told me not to do it, I 259 00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:38,279 decided I didn't need it. Yeah, I didn't have COVID anyway, never 260 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,839 have had COVID. Maybe that I knock on wood is because I have a 261 00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:47,000 good, strong immune system, or you could have had it, but because 262 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,279 you had no symptoms, had no idea. I mean, that's why I 263 00:20:49,319 --> 00:20:53,279 had closer no symptoms the first time I had COVID, I wouldn't have known 264 00:20:53,319 --> 00:20:56,200 had my son not been sick, and I tested myself before taking him to 265 00:20:56,319 --> 00:21:00,160 urgent here. When I had it the second time, I mean, it 266 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:03,119 was a night and day difference. It was absolutely awful. But the good 267 00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:10,799 thing is COVID is not one of the required immunizations for schools, not smallpox 268 00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:12,839 and stuff like that. Yeah, right, and again, and if if 269 00:21:12,839 --> 00:21:17,519 you don't want your child to be vaccinated for whatever reason against what the schools 270 00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:22,039 actually necessary, there are other polio, small park. I think I get 271 00:21:22,039 --> 00:21:25,079 a vaccine for that. Oh yeah yeah, Mac has had all the vaccines, 272 00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:27,920 just not the COVID one. But you can choose to keep your kid 273 00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:32,119 at home or do the homeschooling or whatever, or if there is a written 274 00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:37,119 statement from the parent or guardian objecting to the immunization for a good cause which 275 00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:41,799 includes the religious religious convictions like you stated before, Doug. They are not 276 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:45,920 required to be to be vaccinated. They do have like um, I don't 277 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:49,119 want to say loopholes, but to hide behind that, have to hide behind 278 00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:53,000 that, I think is a well if you're lying about it, if it's 279 00:21:53,039 --> 00:21:57,440 not really no, I'm just saying that it shouldn't come either decide it's a 280 00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:02,039 free country and you're one, or you know want We were so cowed, 281 00:22:02,759 --> 00:22:07,039 we were so hearded, we were so pushed into this thinking because of the 282 00:22:07,039 --> 00:22:14,559 news media, government whatever it is, and the so called authority of guys 283 00:22:14,599 --> 00:22:18,440 like Fauci that turned out to be phonies. And so what did all of 284 00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:22,279 this means? You notice there's no talk of it now anymore. None, 285 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:27,160 no, nothing's required. You can travel anywhere. So did that just to 286 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:30,640 evaporate COVID? Still there it is, And I think it's one of those 287 00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:36,519 things that there were so much unknown around it when it first came that now 288 00:22:36,559 --> 00:22:38,720 there is a little bit more known, and that it does hit people. 289 00:22:40,319 --> 00:22:42,519 It hits people differently. You can be super healthy and get very sick. 290 00:22:42,559 --> 00:22:45,839 You could have all these health issues and barely even noticed you have COVID or 291 00:22:47,319 --> 00:22:51,480 or vice versa. And for me, I as somebody who has lung issues, 292 00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:56,519 and this was presented as such an issue with anybody who has some problems. 293 00:22:56,559 --> 00:22:59,680 I was terrified of COVID. I was like, Hey, as soon 294 00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:02,200 as I can get that vaccine, I am here for it. I got 295 00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:04,400 the first dose and I was sick from that vaccine the second dose. I 296 00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:10,559 was even sicker by the third one. I was so violently ill that I 297 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:14,960 became telling terrified to even get another dose. And if I'm terrified to do 298 00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:15,799 that to my own body, why am I going to put that in my 299 00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:21,640 child's body? Yeah? Right, No, you don't nope, Okay, 300 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:29,400 speaking of being sick, thirty two people went to the hospital after a double 301 00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:37,799 deck or bus crashed into a city bus in Manhattan on East twenty third Street. 302 00:23:37,839 --> 00:23:45,319 The fire chief looking at this lucky as serious accident. But imagine two 303 00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:51,160 buses crashing into each other. Nobody had life threatening injuries, but there were 304 00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:56,640 sixty three people that were evaluated by the doctor at the site. Cuts, 305 00:23:56,680 --> 00:24:02,960 bruises, that sort of thing. But think about that. Probably they wouldn't 306 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:06,720 laugh about it now. But what are you know? Think about it? 307 00:24:06,759 --> 00:24:11,200 What? What? What do you suppose the odds are of two buses colliding 308 00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:15,000 with one another and doing you know, the kind of damage that it did. 309 00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:19,400 They boned the city bus. Um, well, no, the tour 310 00:24:19,759 --> 00:24:25,880 the double decker went through a red light and t boned the city bus. 311 00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:30,279 That's what happened. And the people that were in the bus is the two 312 00:24:30,319 --> 00:24:33,839 of them said it was like an earthquake. The bus rattled and shook, 313 00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:40,759 and yeah, you're in a bus. Hiti opens screaming. Be careful. 314 00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:48,240 The Northern Lights may be visible from as many as seventeen different states later this 315 00:24:48,279 --> 00:24:52,319 week. You want to check that out. Hopefully you'll have clear skies and 316 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:57,400 you can see the northern lights. Northern part of our country, mostly the 317 00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:00,799 states in the northern part, will be seeing the northern lights. Have you 318 00:25:00,799 --> 00:25:04,599 ever seen them? I have not, and I want to. There have 319 00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:11,279 been a couple of times where conditions are potentially right that we might have a 320 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:15,079 chance to see them, and then you just you never see them. Nothing 321 00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:18,599 ever happens. But people have I think decades, I don't know, like 322 00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:25,359 maybe forty years ago there was supposedly a really nice Aurora Borealis show over Lake 323 00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:30,599 Erie that Cleveland could seem all right. Time to celebrate Hot off the presses. 324 00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:34,839 A lot of people that are your age and younger don't even know what 325 00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:38,160 a newspaper is. You'd laugh at me every day I'm going through you hear 326 00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:45,799 me shuffling through newspapers. There are newspapers that are existing and thriving, even 327 00:25:45,799 --> 00:25:51,440 though there is a decline in print circulation. I think that's putting it mildly 328 00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:56,079 right. It just seems old fashioned. Can you imagine somebody having a paper 329 00:25:56,160 --> 00:26:00,160 route? Do you even know, James, you don't want to pay per 330 00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:03,920 route? Is they still have those? They don't think? You don't know 331 00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:06,680 what a paper route is tell me where do they have them? Where do 332 00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:08,160 they have with Jay? Where do they have the paper roots? I mean 333 00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:11,519 here they're in the mood. Yeah, you have to subscribe to it. 334 00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:17,240 Yeah, it's nobody that gets it but you around four am that somebody drives 335 00:26:17,279 --> 00:26:21,559 around and oh yeah, yeah, I just didn't know that was what it 336 00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:26,599 was called. Okay, but that makes sense. Yeah, okay, what 337 00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:29,599 would you think it would be called? Come up with a good roan. 338 00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:32,839 We're looking for names today. Come up with a good run. It's not 339 00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:40,519 a paper route, it's a and filling the paper route. Okay. So 340 00:26:40,599 --> 00:26:45,720 where are there cities where there is a healthy newspaper? I guess the healthiest 341 00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:52,599 one is Charleston, South Carolina. As it happens, the newspaper was founded 342 00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:59,880 in Charleston an eighteen o three and is still covering breaking news. The first 343 00:27:00,079 --> 00:27:06,200 story that it wrote or covered was the purchasing of what was called then the 344 00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:10,279 Louisiana Purchase in eighteen oh three. You know about that? Okay, here's 345 00:27:10,279 --> 00:27:12,640 the history test. Jay, you know about the Louisiana Purchase, right of 346 00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:17,759 course? Please all right, James, do you know about the correct answer 347 00:27:17,799 --> 00:27:19,319 is yes, yes, I know about the Louisiana. Okay, tell us 348 00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:22,839 what the Louisiana purchase is? All right, hold on, let me open 349 00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:30,279 up a Google right exactly anyway, So there are still seventy million people in 350 00:27:30,319 --> 00:27:37,880 our country the estimates that are according to the Newspaper Association of America that live 351 00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:42,519 in places where they get a newspaper. Likewise, there are seventy million Americans 352 00:27:42,559 --> 00:27:48,559 who live in news deserts where there's no local news source whatsoever. We've seen 353 00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:53,240 that happen. I remember when I started working on the local Framingham radio station 354 00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:59,960 in nineteen seventy one. We had a news manager, a news department. 355 00:28:00,079 --> 00:28:03,440 This was a small, one thousand WAT radio station. We had live people 356 00:28:03,519 --> 00:28:08,160 on the air all day long. That kind of stuff kapitsky now. And 357 00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:11,000 so that's why it's important, I think, not just to have a newspaper, 358 00:28:11,279 --> 00:28:15,519 but to have a good one. So it's great business time for Caldron. 359 00:28:15,559 --> 00:28:18,079 I would think the phones would be ringing off the hook and people will 360 00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:22,480 be ordering nauseum.

Toby Keith would 374 00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:30,279 be one of those. Last winter we talked about him getting stomach cancer. 375 00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:33,440 When you look at it, almost a two year battle. He didn't let 376 00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:37,400 the public know about it until last year, but yeah, yes he was 377 00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:40,359 diagnosed. To believe the fall of twenty twenty one, and then he announced 378 00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:45,559 it publicly June twenty twenty two. I wonder what lies twenty three? Yeah, 379 00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:49,160 what causes stomach cancer? How would you get? I mean you can 380 00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:52,359 say, well, what causes any cancer? Some things are more deliberate. 381 00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:57,039 Usually stomach cancers, from what I know about them, come from your bodies 382 00:29:57,119 --> 00:30:03,799 rejecting certain things that you eat and or drink. I know that people who 383 00:30:03,799 --> 00:30:08,960 are alcoholics sometimes get a stomach cancer problem because it eats away you get any 384 00:30:10,079 --> 00:30:14,960 It starts with an ulcer often and can be it does not always, but 385 00:30:15,039 --> 00:30:19,680 it starts with an ulcer and then it gets worse for you know, any 386 00:30:19,759 --> 00:30:22,480 number of reasons, again depending on diet, which put in your stomach, 387 00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:29,960 etc. And then there's other gastro intestinal diseases and issues that when not maintained, 388 00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:33,039 can lead to stomach cancer as well. Yeah. Right, so he 389 00:30:33,039 --> 00:30:37,559 apparently is still undergoing chemo. But he's on the road though, isn't he? 390 00:30:37,599 --> 00:30:41,920 A neop performance shows in Oklahoma recently? When you say pop up shows, 391 00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:47,240 what does that mean? What's that pop up show? Not quite planned 392 00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:51,599 in the sense of, you know, most tours that we see really just 393 00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:55,279 kind of he's going to be playing here, show up, have fun. 394 00:30:56,200 --> 00:31:00,119 What are the costs when you're involved in something like that versus a regular the 395 00:31:00,559 --> 00:31:04,680 concert that you have to go buy tickets for an advance? Well, it's 396 00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:08,680 a I don't know the exact parameters for this particular one, but in Nashville 397 00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:12,039 there'd be pop up shows all the time where there would be an artist who 398 00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:15,119 maybe had new music they wanted to test out, and they would call up 399 00:31:15,119 --> 00:31:18,640 one of the bars and say, hey, can I come play from this 400 00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:21,400 time to this time and they'd show up. Sometimes people knew that they were 401 00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:22,839 going to be there and they could go to the free show. Other times 402 00:31:23,079 --> 00:31:26,440 they had no idea that this person was even going to be there. M 403 00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:32,400 Yeah, I mean you could be a complete I would think that what's that 404 00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:36,359 bar? That what's his face? Is open to Nashville. I've been He 405 00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:40,759 shows up there all the time and they just have which one? There's so 406 00:31:40,799 --> 00:31:45,680 many of them have and they do brooks oh Garth. Yeah, so yeah, 407 00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:47,880 I'm sure he's going to be there a lot. Blake Shelton has been 408 00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:49,680 known to show up at his Luke Bryan shows up at his bar. M. 409 00:31:51,599 --> 00:31:53,279 So is that why you go because you hope. Is that why you'd 410 00:31:53,279 --> 00:31:57,279 spend the door and pay twice for genormally would for a beer just to maybe 411 00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:04,400 rub noses? Or she's the star wandering on occasions that what makes it more 412 00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:07,799 sometimes, you know, with the world of Instagram and everything that's good, 413 00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:12,319 good photos, good, is there the next Stephen Good Day Down with Doug 414 00:32:12,319 --> 00:32:15,319 and Jay Kirshner is made possible in part by keltrin, which is the safe 415 00:32:15,319 --> 00:32:20,359 way for you to lose weight and keep it off, and also by priviging 416 00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:21,920 keeping your brain healthy.
