The duck Stefan Good Day download with Doug and Jay Kirshner is made possible in
part by Caldron, which is the safe way for you to lose weight and
keep it off. Good Day way. It's twenty, it's twenty. I
was gonna say it was twenty one after the hour, but it's not.
It's seven fast after the money twenty. That's right, Thank you, very
cleverly done, Jay Kirshner, Doug Stephen on February the twenty first. Now
we really are two thirds of the way through the month, and it's also
the first day on the Piscean calendar, just a month. Starting today,
we got thirty days of goodness pisc in the pisce In month for those who
have Piscean influence in them. From the zodiac, we just got out of
the month of Aquarius. I have both Pisceian influences and Aquarian influences in my
chart Scorpio Warren. My November birthday makes me a tough guy. So the
astrologies and then the piscean influence. Sometimes your moon sign is more important than
your sun's sign and it makes me a softy. And then the Aquarius influence
makes me inquisitive and stimulating and ironic and sometimes a little hard to understand.
So there you go. What about you? You don't have any piscy and
blood in you, I don't think, do you? No? No,
my husband's pisces. I am a My son sign is Taurus, and my
moon sign is Virgo, and my rising is Libra. Uh huh, so
you should what's your husband's other where's he he's a you know what his other
signs are? No, but my son, Maria, my son is actually
a double Gemini. He is a sun and moon Gemini and his rising a
Scorpio. So Geminis are very they're fluid, let's put it that way.
They change with the wind, and they don't often they don't like they're not
conformers. Trump is a Gemini. No, he's not a double Gemini,
but he's a Gemini. And so I'm not suggesting your son is going to
be president or he's gonna be like Trump. But there's well, my son
does share a birthday with Sir Paul McCartney, So ah, we can throw
that one in. It makes you Geminis are usually pretty creative, so you
get that that would be something you could attribute to McCartney for sure. All
right, so we have that taken care of, and here we have this
eight year old chess player, A prodigy, a child prodigy, probably a
great reference to this eight year old. This is a very interesting piece of
good news, I guess for the eight year old. I became the youngest
player to ever defeat a grand master in an official tournament. Chess is one
of those things and once in a while you find somebody who you don't usually
find Americans very I can't remember, man, You know, you talk about
this stuff with these contests all the time. They're usually Europeans and Asians who
do the best. And so let's see here. Well, this eight year
old is from Singapore, Ashwath. He's from Singapore, and he defeated Poland's
Jessic Stoppa, who's the thirty seven year old grand master and grandmaster I'm not
super familiar familiar with chess, but do you know grand masters are Once you
get that title, you hold that title for the rest of your life.
It's like a class thing here or whatever. And right the only the only
reason that would be revoked it would be if there was a cheating scandal.
But here's the real kicker. There was a Serbian eight year old who had
previously, I think like just last month or the month before, had broken
the record as the youngest prodigt you to beat a grandmaster, and this one,
I think took the title as the youngest for like two months age difference.
Really how about that, you know what? When I was looking at
the headlines, I thought that it said that the eight year old beat a
thirty seven year old grandmother. That was my first dayaway. So it's really
amazing how some minds develop. Gives you a lot of respect. I think
for the way sometimes youngsters are raised, what is it that intrigues them,
what stimulates them? And then you ask those same questions of yourself. What
stimulates you the most, what intrigues you about your life the most? What's
going on that seems to be more than just mere happenstance. You know,
we get beyond the mundane, but then on a program like this, we
have to spend some time talking about the mundane. So getting to the bottom
line of those two adults who have been charged with murder in the situation after
Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl parade is something the public kind of wants to know
more about. Dominic Miller Kansas City, Missouri and Lyndell Mays of Rayton,
Missouri, both charged with second degree murder, two counts of armed criminal action
unlawful use of a weapon. These two guys are eighteen or nineteen years old.
They're being held on a million dollars bond, which is the same as
a million dollars bail basically, so these two teenagers are charged with gun related
issues, resisting arrest, shooting and killing people, shooting injured twenty two other
people. The person one of the people, one of the person that got
the most who was killed, this radio lady Lisa Galvin, mother of two,
and then all these other people who were shot were under most of them
under the age of sixteen. Yeah, so do they they're juveniles? But
should they face trial as adults? My answer? Their adults? I mean,
yeah, Miller is eighteen or nineteen years old, that is legally classified
as an adult. Maze is twenty three, that's an adult. Right,
they were both teenagers. I got that wrong. Well, anyway, they
should be charged in face the consequences of being in jail for pretty much the
rest of their lives now let's follow this and see if the jurisprudence system there
follows through and it's tough enough. What's the excuse a lawyer could come up
with that would get them off or would make them not have to suffer the
trials and tribulations looking at the evidence, Mays was in an argument with somebody
else. Yeah, and then so Mays didn't know who this was beforehand.
The argument quickly escalated. May's got out his gun. May's pulled his handgun
first. Others pulled out there far as imagine all these people in the parade,
there were guns everywhere. Yeah, the second one, before these two
adults were charged, there were two teenagers charged with gun related and resisting rest
charges in connection with the shooting. They were not the two main shooters,
Miller, But yeah, disgusting, it's disgusting, and it was an altercation.
It was a disagreement. How many times are we seeing this everybody?
You're seeing mistaken identity shootings. We're seeing people just reacting. If somebody pulls
into the driveway the wrong driveway of the wrong house just to turn their car
around and they're being shot at. You have people shooting each other over parking
spots over those public scooters. Yeah, welcome to America, Land of the
Free, Home of the brave. This is about as cowardly an act as
you come up with. It is. It's this sort of approach. So
what's their childhood like? What have they been like in school? Does anybody
know more about them to try to figure out what it is that made these
two to what what contributed to them being the way they are? See,
I get into the dive asology. Yeah, yeah, a lot of people
say simply at this moment, Yeah, well a lot of people just say,
oh, what dinist does it make? They killed this woman, then
they caused this, they created this, and it's all selfishness, and it
is it's all about being selfish, no question about that. You know.
This is one of those it's my way or the highway things and if you
don't do what I want you to do, then you get shot. And
so but it's also about it's also the conversation of prevention. What. Yes,
people need to investigate what actually happened, but it's also worth taking a
look and what led up to this? What different actions or parts of childhood
or parts of just that week alone, what led up to this, and
that's part of the conversation again with prevention, not just stopping shootings as they're
happening, but preventing them from happening to begin with. And guess maybe metal
detectors or something like that is there is, but there is a psychological situation.
Oh yeah, when you're outside at a parade, there's not going to
be anything like that, But there is a psychological also for association. What's
the word sociological? Sociological Yes, like like not like society driven, not
not like sociopath But that's not I'm just disgusted with it. The whole thing
is disgusting as far as I'm concerned, it is disgusting. Throw the book
at him. It's a time for us now to brighten up your lives,
make you feel better, make you actually be better. Folks at Caltron have

celebrity gossip on the trending side of things on social media. Amy Grant has
shown up Jay and apparently she is. She has some issues after she was
in that bike wreck and so it's a real trauma. Back a couple of
years ago when she had serious brain injury. She lost her memory and apparently
she still has issues with her short term memory and her balance is still off.
I had no idea she was sixty three already. Good lord, anyway,
she talks like go ahead, yeah, I was just going to say,
yeah. This back accident was pretty traumatic. She spent a few nights
in the hospital. She one of the good things that came out of this.
And it's one of those that there's always a reason for everything, and
even though we don't know what the reason is at the time, we eventually
find it out. And her bike accident led to her realizing she had a
cyst growing in her throat that she needed to have removed. M H yeah.
As a singer, absolutely and doing sometimes you not sing the right way.
Those sorts of things develop. I've had it. I've heard of it
with radio people as well. People use their voices a whole lot. So
anyway, the bike accident, what had led to and what has come as
an aftermath to this? She said, sometimes she walks around she feels like
she's drunk. Yeah, and she was wearing a helmet too. It's not
like she wasn't wearing a helmet. She was wearing a helmet while riding a
bike. Imagine how much worse it would have been had she not been riding
a helmet and she crashed her bike because she hit a pothole. Oh so,
I hope they sued the Where does she live? What city in Nashville?
She was riding bikes bike with her friends near her home. And you're
a veteran Nashville. Are potholes a thing in Nashville? Do they not take
good care of the streets or is this an anomaly? No summer, There
are some streets that have a lot of potholes. Other streets are more well
taken care of. There are a lot of sinkhole issues too, So they
should sue the city. I didn't remember if I didn't know it, I
don't remember that she was married to Vince Gil and so is. He's a
big factor. If you have support from your spouse in a circumstance like this,
it really makes it better to stabilize yourself because somebody that's supportive. He's
a big time performer as well. So yeah, he was a big supporter
for her. She's coming along and that's the good news. Amy Grant making

right, let's speed into the next bit of information. How many people,
I guess literally and figuratively, how many of you are speeders? How many
of you put the the pedals of the metal right and look at the When
I drive a lot like I have the last few weekends, the spinometer becomes
your friend or could be your enemy. I try to keep it about seven
miles an hour over the speed limit. Uh, Doug's a lawbreaker, You're
unethical, immoral. Well, they all know that if the speed limit says
sixty five, right, you're gonna go seventy five, and some people go
a lot faster. Treat the speed limit as like the minimum you're supposed to
drive, where actually that's the maximum. But I do have a tendency to
speed, and I know I do. And in Nashville, you could go
a good twelve to fifteen miles over the speed could even you could even go
past the police officer and they will not pull you over. They have bigger
fish to fry. They are not concerned with that kind of speeding or even
if your tags were expired on your license plate. Unless you do something stupid,
they are not going to pull you over. They have other things to
do. Where now, I live in a community that is relatively safe,
and if you go more than five over the speed limit, they got nothing
better than chase you around. Don't get a ticket. You won't get a
ticket. Unless you're going faster than that, but you will get pulled over,
given a warning and stuff. So I have found that I am constantly
driving with my cruise control because if I'm not driving on cruise control, I'm
speeding and I don't mean to. Uh huh. You a really heavy foot.
I guess right, exactly, you put your foot on a diet.
It's Wednesday, February twenty first, and so there's an interesting Supreme Court ruling
from yesterday, the fact that they declined to review a case that challenges the
use of socioeconomic factors and the emissions criteria at a pretty well known Virginia high
school. Group of parents brought the suit. They claim the policy discriminates against
Asians or people. I don't know this really. When I see African,
American, Italian, American, Asian, American, for me, American comes
first. So if you're an American of Asian descent, for example, and
that's the group that we're talking about here, that's the way to put it.
Asia doesn't become before America. If you're an American citizen. If you
want to be an Asian, then I guess you stay in Asia. But
if you want to be an American. You come here and and I don't.
I wouldn't imagine that if you were in Asia. Let's say you're in
China and Americans moved to China. Are you an American Chinese? I don't
think so. Anyway, that's not the issue here. But well, no,
there's another word, expats. They call it expats. Expats. Yeah.
Anyway, this school, the Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology,
which is located in Alexandria, Virginia, has been named among the best
US high schools for a long time. They changed their admission policy a couple
of years ago to increase diversity without considering, not specifically race. The changes
included nixing the entrance exam, prioritizing the top one and a half percent of
the eighth grade class of each of the district's middle schools, so under the
system that they're now operating under, the freshman class included fifty four percent Asian
American students, down from seventy three percent, seven percent Black students up from
it was up from six percent, eleven percent Hispanic students up from three percent,
and the let's see right now, this year, sixty one percent Asians
six percent blacks and six percent hispanic. You're how disgusting. This is the
whole damn thing is disgusting. You should be admitted to the school on the
basis of how you do or have done prior to this in science and technological
studies. What dimist does it make whether you are black or white. This
is the whole thing with race and entitlement and diversity and equity. This all
this does is bring the school down to a level that will bring it to
be below what it used to be. But it should be people who aren't
racist or prejudice against people. Say that again, Jay, the first part
of that. There also has to be a hiring on and making sure people
who are in these positions of admissions that they are not racist or prejudice for
any reason against something like that. I'm not no one who knows me well
whatever tell you that I was a racist, But I am prejudiced against those
who are put into situations only because of the color of their skin or ethnic
background. That doesn't work for me, and it doesn't work for anybody frankly
who has a look on reality or on fairness. How is it fair to
keep somebody out of a school like this because of the color of their skin
anymore than how is it fair to put people into the school who may or
may not be qualified, but the qualification turns out to be the color of
their skin? What lesson does that teach you? Or anybody who understands what
the system is about. What lesson does that teach you? Why are they
are they only qualified because of the color of their skin? Or is it
because they are qualified otherwise but they just wouldn't be looked at because of the
color of their skin, so they get kind of a priority. I don't
I don't have an answer to that. That's an interesting question. But on
the main, and this has been going on since I was in college,
Frank, I remember when I was in college, they started affirmative action,
so colleges were told that they had to admit X number of blacks and they
all flunked out. That's not the representation. I mean, you can see
this. Am I going to stick my foot in my mouth? You know,
maybe a little bit. I'm going to say that. Anyway, when
you watch shows like Family Feud and they are black contests, because Steve Harvey
is black, he insists that there be in almost every circumstance a black family
versus a white family or someone who's not black, So you see many more
blacks. And when I watched the show, I get that you want to
promote racial equity or whatever the right phraseology is equality, But more often than
not, the black teams are not they don't do as well, or they
are members of the team that don't do as well. And I can't help
but think when I look at the circumstance what Steve's trying to do, I
get, but he's not helping the cause because many of the blacks that are
on the show aren't well schooled and they don't have good answers to the questions.
And is that because they aren't smarter. No, I don't think it
is. I think it's because they don't have the same opportunity in many circumstances.
So I'm arguing against myself when it comes to the Supreme Court decision yesterday.
But I think that what has happened, and this happened in my hometown.
For example, there are schools that parents prefer to send their children to,
so they allow the parents have a certain number of parents to choose the
school of their preference. And the kids have to ride buses to go to
the school, but they are at a better school. And I say to
myself, I'd like to start a suit here. If we're paying all the
teachers the same, and we are, and we're all paying into the system,
how dare you suggest that some of the schools that you're running aren't as
good as some of the other schools. How dare you in every community?
I bet you could find an example of this in every single community around the
country. Right there are good schools, There are schools and arts are good.
There are there good school districts. There are some not so great school
districts. There are some schools within the same school district that have completely a
larger difference of how how great they're doing with their students themselves. But also
it's not only the teachers or the lack of teaching or something like that.
A lot of times there are not enough faculty to handle all of the students.
There is an influx of students at a specific school and they just don't
have the resources. A levee didn't pass, or or something where the community
is trying to get more money to have better opportunities, But then it doesn't
pass. But it's not right? Is it doesn't feel right? All right?
Here's another Supreme Court ruling, this time Alabama, ruling that frozen embryos
will legally be considered children. Wow. That's a new decision made this week
result of a wrongful death lawsuit brought by a couple whose frozen embryos were destroyed
at a fertility clinic. Patient entered cryogenic nursery storage and removed embryos. Wow.
Yeah, that couple has a right to sue over this. Yeah,
right, so the and they did, and they won. Basically, that's
what Supreme Court says. The it was negligence. Why did this person go
in there to get the embryos in the first place? That would be the
question I'm asking, why really was that it? Yeah? I was asking,
m So the wrongful death of a minor act applies on his face to
all unborn children. That's what the court said. Well, science, technology,
social media all wrapped up into one report here on the Good Day program.
Yeah, because social media is important and how it works is important.
So here's something from Austin, Texas that we found police department there raising concerns
about what appears to be crooks targeting people on social media who have had their
cars stolen. So when a person's car, yeah, right, exactly,
it's bad enough the car gets stolen. But then when you look at the
Austin has become a victim of its own success. The homeless problem in Austin
has grown exponentially. There were hundreds of thousands of people who moved to Austin
from Los Angeles because people in Los Angeles can't stand to live there, and
Austin's seem to be a paradise. Not so much anymore, the homeless problem
and theft. You know, it's becoming just like Los Angeles. Well,
I guess that makes sense because most of the people that are moving there coming
from Los Angeles. So anyway, there's this problem with rising auto theft rates.
But along with that, there appears to be a trend of social media
commenting. When you look around, the messages that are being shared are kind
of inside messages, right, isn't that how that's kind of what wellsarily an
inside job. It's typically like a completely different theft situation. A lot of
people who are on social media don't have their social media private and if their
car gets stolen, they're typically posting about it, and you have these other
kind of personal accounts who will be like, hey, you know what,
this company is really good at helping people find their cars, and then they
direct you Facebook page or an Instagra yeah, with a link where you pay
money. It's for them to help you find your car, and babe,
yeh, steal your money. Hello, ding ding Ding ding Ding. You
should talk to Steven JJ Wiseman about that. I ever have an instance,
by the way, where these sorts of things happen, and you want to
check it out, go to scamocide dot com. That's the website set up
by our lawyer, appears every week on the countdown and also sometimes here we
have legal questions. It's scamocide dot com. Check that out. Here's something
else to check out when it comes to technology. This has been a big
deal for the last twenty four hours or so of what the discovery means.
The Milky Way Radcliffe Wave. This is another discovery we find almost every day
on the NASA website. You find something new like this nine thousand light year
long gas structure and can you even imagine as it's moving along everything moves in
the universe. This is so hard to even imagine. You just you know,
you can't imagine the size, You can't imagine how this all happens chemically.
But at any rate, this huge gas structure is birthing new stars.
How they're looking at this as insight into how the entire universe was created out
of nothing, which is hard to believe even in and of itself. Right,
How could there have been nothing twenty billion years ago and then all of
a sudden there was something. I'm not sure these guys have got the story
right, but I don't know what the right story is. Frank who it's
an astrophysicist or somebody who was saying their theoretical idea is that the Big Bang
was not the beginning of our situation, but the end of a previous one.
Yeah, Kuldman. More the black hole thing, and this looks like
somehow this is connected to a black hole. And that's another thing that people
don't understand. What is that? What's a black hole? It's it's sort
of akin to a vacuum. You know, the nature doesn't like a vacuum.
So when there's a vacuum, something gets put into it, It gets
sucked in to the hole to try to fill it. And that's kind of
what a black hole is, and it brings a lot of you know,
planets. People are worried about what happens to our solar system. We're going
to get sucked into a black hole. Probably not much to worry about in
your lifetime. I'm gonna guess. The next Stefan Good Day download with Doug
