The next Stefan Good Day download with Doug and Jay Kershner is made possible in
part by Caldron, which is the safe way for you to lose weight and
keep it off. See I refuse I'm gonna speak for Jay to live in
the past. I want to live in the present because it's much more powerful.
That's a good word to use. So we have it, and as
Friday has found its way to our lives and we to it. We review
the hot hits of the week every week with the Talk Radio Review and the
Talk Radio Countdown Show, which touches on how many, if not all,
of the issues that we've talked about. It's about news talk radio, and
there's lots of news, lots of things that can be simply handled by a
direct approach. There was a Freudian slip. I was about to say a
direct reproach. I think that I do or have reproached. Moot on Fransei
for the people to try to schnooker you with information that is incorrect, that
is unreliable, and there seems to be an unrelenting supply of all of that
stuff. But as as sort of a legendary radio person, somebody who's been
on the air and programming these sorts of programs for a long time. I
can tell you from my experience sharing the lessons that I have learned over the
years, the best approach is the direct approach, the simple approach, talking
about what may be on my mind, what's on Jay's mind, what's on
your mind, and what is in front of us. Talking about the weekend.
A lot of people preparing here in Boston for the Boston Marathon, which
will run on Monday. I was noticing back to the New York City,
Maryland. I think we talked about the La Marathon a couple of weeks ago.
I seem not to be able to avoid Los Angeles on that weekend,
even though it com fouls up everything in the city. And I don't I
can't speak to the Boston to the New York Marathon, but I know in
Boston it doesn't really foul everything up. There's access to either side of the
main route. Then everybody runs that gets shut off obviously because for a couple
of hours before and not for fifteen minutes after, why they clean up the
roads are closed off. But it seems that there's more attention to the Boston
Marathon and I think I said that Jay when the LA Wow, why you
know, why do they run it? Because they can when they want to.
But it's such a mess now in New York City. The marathon organizers
who every year go through the same sort of thing, only it's in November.
The people that run the Port Authority and the Transportation Authority have told the
organizers of the bridge they're going to have to pay what normally cars play pay
because they're losing money. So they're gonna have to pay seven hundred and fifty
thousand dollars to cross the Arizona Bridge. I would think that under the circumstance
they say that fee represents the amount of toll revenue they lose when the bridge
is closed. So you want to use the bridge, fine, otherwise swim.
I think that's the message there. Yeah, and that there's a lot
of pushbacks you're going to make qualify for the New york Er LA Marathon that
you do for Boston. I don't know that front. I don't think so,
but I don't know for sure. I just I don't have any direct
knowledge of that because mostly other than the anecdotal stuff of me complaining when I'm
in la or looking at something like this, which is so typically New York,
right, New York is the you'd expect this from somebody who woke up
in the morning said, wait a minute, look at all the money that
we lose every year because we let them run across the the Arizona Bridge.
So will they go some other way? Does the governor get involved? The
mayor? Well, the mayor is useless pretty much anyway, So who's any
expecting. Isn't that another example. I don't know that much about the governor
of New York other than she's a tax and spender. But I do know
that the mayor of New York, there's never been one, I should scratch
never. There hasn't been one as good as Bloomberg since Bloomberg. Bloomberg was
Bloomberg, and he really did a great job. And I would bet if
he were mayor at the moment, this would not be a discussion. But
at any rate it is now because there's a weekling who's the mayor and so
on it goes see what happens. We'd be interested to see what happens with
all of that stuff. So the big conversation today, and we'll spend a
lot more time talking about it. Maybe I don't need to the passing of
OJ Simpson Orenthal James Simpson, seventy six years old, prostate cancer. I
can summarize this whole thing with a few phrases or a few thoughts. I
don't what is what's left to say about Oj? Right, he was a
football player, He was in a lot of commercials. He did a lot
of television, mostly movies. He killed his ex wife and that's you know,
he was in jail for a while. He was right, yeah,
yeah, yeah, in the ninety five murder trial, but then was found
responsible for her death in a civil lawsuit. And then after that I was
later in prison for armed robbery and kidnapping. Yeah. I think I've said
this whenever we talk about this. Excuse me. I when I was on
the air at KBC in Los Angeles, I was the only person on the
air on any talk program on any of the three stations that were carrying talk
at the time. And then said, you know, let's not be quick
to judge OJ. I didn't make myself much. I didn't make myself very
popular for having but people knew who I was, that guy Stefan, Did
you hear him supporting sticking up for OJ, which I didn't do. But
because I didn't say hang him by his toenails, that that was a bad
guy. Ron Goldman, or the father of Ron Goldman, said no great
loss. And I think somebody else said, you know, Caitlin Jenner said
good riddance. So I mean that pretty much sums up the OJ thing.
Right, What else is there to say? You think about it a little
bit. Here's yeah, I see you later. Here's a an eighty five
year old Idaho woman being hailed as a hero for gunning down a home invasion
suspect with a handgun that she kept under her pillow after he handcuffed her to
a chain pistol whipped her and threatened to kill her. Wow, Christine Jananin,
I think is how you pronounce your name. Survived all of this stuff.
She was even shot by this guy who died in her kitchen when she
turned the tables on him and shot him twice. She told him, stand
your ground is about not somebody pulling into your driveway to turn around. This
is an example. This is it. You're right about that? Yep,
this is the story. Prosecutors said that this lady has been cleared of any
wrongdoing, and as a matter of fact, he said, quote, this
is the prosecuting attorney says, quote. It also presents one of the most
heroic acts of self preservation I've ever heard of. So this area, this
lady lives in a rural area of Idaho with her disabled son. She awakened
by the strange noises and she saw some guy wearing a military jacket and a
ski mask standing over her, pointing a gun at her. And so this
guy broke a window get into the house and then he beat her, hit
her in the head with a pistol. What kind of this guy deserved?
Hopefully they throw away the key on this guy. You know. That's the
two sides of the story. Is this woman really took care of herself.
She killed him. Yeah, yeah, that's right, she did kill him,
right, send him away? Yeah, hello, thank you. Yeah.
I'm more focused on her, And what a great story her. There's
no good story. I mean, well, I waste your time even with
a guy like this. Yeah, he's gone. It's like OJ, right
if you want to look at it that way. No great loss. This
guy is no loss to anybody, and so good for her. She was
shot, and listen to this. She got shut in her abdomen, her
leg, her arm, and her chest, and she still could get up
to shoot this guy and then she collapsed. I guess, so wow,
all right, Well there's a good I think that's a good story to kind
of focus on for a little bit. Here's another good story to focus on.

that have come out of the Star Wars movies and all the everything Star Wars.
So ms Carano got fired by Disney after she shared a social media post.
She reposted something that the Disney folks said, trivialize the Holocaust. This
is how you get down to the nitty gritty of how people find ways of
getting rid of people. She I'm sure knew the controversial aspects of what she
posted, and so the Disney people, because the Corona is suing Disney for
being let go, claiming determination right. The First Amendment rights. Had nothing
to do with her acting, had nothing to do with what she did on
the set, had to do with something that she just reposted. And how
do you know whether she reposted it because she agreed with it? Did she
say that, or she said nothing. She just reposted it, so it
may have been that she thought it was disgusting. Well in arguing that to
come after them for her firing is against their First Amendment that her firing uses
both the First Amendment rights. But do both of them have First Amendment arguments?
I suppose on either side of the issue. But anyway, they said,
apparently she had a number of other posts that they didn't like about the
pandemic and vaccines and masks and stuff that come from people. There are lots
of different stripes on people who have had of a more open shall we say
liberal or whatever. She apparently has tweeted some stuff about transgender rights and things
like that, things that are controversial. So anyway, She explained the decision
to sue the company. She said, quote, every once in a while,
the big corporation needs to get straight up kicked in the private parts.
So she's colorful, as I said before. So anyway, while the co
stars who were working with her, apparently we're selling an agreement with her,
I guess we're not. She says, I'm a woman, and I expressed
myself, and I wonder if there's not something to that Jay as well.
You know, yes, she should be able to say what she wants to
say, say how she wants to feel. And also any organization that employs
this person could lose money based on what this person says, has the right
to do what they see fit as well. So how would they lose money?
How would you see? I don't think they would lose enough for anybody
to feel like that. You know, that shuddered us. How do you
prove it in a society where you are your media, you are the company
you keep, and you are guilty by association. Yep, that's it.
There we go, all right, So that's her story. Now. Also
some other celebrity news on our social media segment here. Another name trending is
Drew Barrymore and talking about she's She's often interviewed and she often talks about where
she came from. She did a special interview on a People's fiftieth anniversary edition
talking about what it was like when she was thirteen and the substance abuse stuff.
I don't think there's anything new here, though, Jay she's talked about
No. Well, she was looking back at all her covers, so she
did. She was on the cover of People fifteen times and looking back at
all the covers and just seeing each cover and kind of going through what she
went through during those signs of shooting that and even at thirteen years old,
going to remember for substance there. Yes. Wow, but she's really done
a good job coming back around. I think she's quite special. Frankly.
So it's great business time for Caldron. I would think the phones would be

Thanks to Elizabeth Miller here, one of the great Calatrin consultants at top
loss dot com. I think, what's the expression, A happy wife is
a happy life? Yeah, I was talking you think it is. I
was talking to a friend of mine yesterday who's become a very good friend,
somebody that I'm working with, and we were talking about wanting to be or
having to be right all the time and whether that's productive in the sense he
was saying, you know, if I get into an argument with my wife
most of the time, it's trivial, and so what difference does it make
at the end of the day, yeah, okay, you're right, and
then just move on. So maybe it's a bad president. I guess it
depends on the situation much as anything else. You have it or you don't
have it. And I think that hopefully people who are happy it and know
that they have it, whether it's a good relationship. You know, these
people that have a great marriage, they have a great family, they have
a great job, they have a great life. That's something we all can
strive for. And hopefully when you have those things, you are thankful.
Don't forget to be thankful, to be grateful for what's going on in your
life. Here's a Catholic group has labeled a potato chip commercial as blasphemy,
calling for the commercial which features a bunch of nuns enjoying potato chips instead of
the communal wafers. This is this is pretty funny anyway, The commercials were
for some chips of these people. The Catholics say it offends the religious sensitivity
of millions of practicing Catholics by trivializing the comparison between the potato chip and a
consecrated object. This is here. If you want to be offended, by
something that's your prerogative. You want to be offended by other people being offended
by something, that's your prerogative. You are not allowed to say that other
people are offended. Let people speak for themselves. Like if you're offended,
that's fine, that's fine, But you can't say millions of other people are
offended. You don't get to speak for them. You don't get to make
that choice. The leading Catholic newspaper took issue with the ads, saying Christ
has been reduced to a potato chip, to based and vilified like he was
two thousand years ago. So they're comparing the nuns eating a potato chip to
Christ being murdered on the cross. Okay, good for you if you can
get hopping on a potato chip from I remember one church I went to they
used like they broke apart this like a big pee of bread. Other ones
they use wafers, but doritos. What would be the difference? Yeah,
right, exactly. Pretty silly stuff, all right, This is not silly
story of what happened in a high school lobby in New Jersey. Principal saw
a student heading toward a stairway and knew there was going to be trouble.
So whether or not there was physical contact between the two of them seems to
be a matter of opinion depending excuse me, on who you talk to.
But at any rate, the interaction, which lasted for less than a minute,
has caused the student to file an affirmative action complaint against the principle,
saying that he quote grabbed her and slammed her against a wall. Student is
black. The principal is Latino. Principal reported the episode, saying he was
preventing an altercation between this student and three others she had threatened them. Apparently
this has been going on for months. I'm talking about the Walter. I'm
talking about the relationship between this black student and other students in this school,
which is a one of those was at Columbia High School, a performing arts
school that is in South Orange, New Jersey. So what's happened is this
guy has been charged and he was taken into custody, charged with assault and
endangering a minor, and all on the word of this one child. I
think that we've got a This is a pretty good example in my mind of
a This is a very liberal area and I'm not much for talking about liberal
versus the right wing stuff, and even the use of the term liberal I
don't like. But it's a very free, shall we say, school district
and a very racially mixed population. So the question about whether or not he
used unlawful force against this fifteen year old or was he trying to help her
and help both well in the school system where it's you know, the not
even in the school system, but you just you can't even put your hands
on anybody anywhere for any reason. And his thing was saying he was preventing
something from happening. Well, now what if he he interacted after it happened,
would he still be a charge with all of this? Did he jump
to something before it you know what I mean? Like he got involved and
did what he did before anything actually happened, So therefore he is in the
wrong rather if he would have waited. But then if he waited, could
somebody else have gotten very badly injured? There are a lot of kind of
follow up questions that with these charges when it does go to court, needs
and need to be asked on both sides. Yeah, well, I guess
the word is progressive thinking, and that's what maybe I search for the right
word instead of liberal, because I don't think liberal, as I said,
applies here. There is a lot of you know, because of many communities.
The community I live in here in Massachusetts is very diverse, and the
school system is dealing with that. The high school is a mess. There
are children in the high school of all races they have. I think at
last count there were like eighty different languages that are being spoken in parts of
this community and trying to keep up with that. The obligation is to have
them in school, and the money that's spent to try to teach some of
these kids who don't really want to and there are fights all the time,
knives, guns. I wouldn't send my child to that school. The same
thing in Los Angeles or any big city. You see this stuff happening all
the time. So I don't know enough about it other than what I've read
here and what Jay was saying. It just is the it's we have.
We were becoming victims of our own whatever and you fill in the blank.
And a lot of it is caused by this open border policy. People coming
in not this instance necessarily. Oh, I don't know the student body makeup
there other than black and it's Latin, and it's white, and it's you
know, who knows what else, but you know the the differences. There
were a lot of people when this guy got hired, who the the so
called Black Parents Workshop, opposed his hiring. When he was hired, they
wanted a black guy to be hired, and then the Hispanics didn't want to
a black guy they wanted. So this is going on? What what comes
of this? So you don't you don't care for somebody because of the color
of their skin. This is you know, is that progressive thinking? Is
that how this works? It didn't work that way in my neighborhood, but
maybe there. So who knows what going to happen to this guy? All
right? The United States Postal Service, Ah, you'll love this snooze,
is going to hike the price of postage stamps again, all right, Probably
going to happen this summer of five percent rubber stamps increase. Yeah, that's
probably a good idea. I have four roles. Maybe I should go back
and buy a bunch more sixty eight cents now seventy three cents this summer.
This is the third rays in the past year. I'd say we're back to
how do they run the post Office department. That's always been a question for
years and years and years. About ten percent of the budget comes out of
the federal government trying to keep things afloat. People depend on the mail,
and then people say, well do they do they? Why do we need
the mail? We have email costs anything, but you can't put everything.
Yeah, but I'm one of these traditionalists. I like getting my bills in
the mail. I like paying my bills in the mail. But there's a
lot of junk man that comes in the just junk on top of junk on
top of junk. So anyway, they're also looking to adjust the prices for
special services, certified mails, going up, money order fees, up,
that sort of stuff. They maintain their prices are the most affordable in the
world. Well, when you compare what it costs to send an overnight through
excuse me, the postal service, and what it costs you to send a
FedEx or a UPS letter, it's about three times as much is the service.
You're sure that things are going to get there. Well, they've been
advertising a lot lately, excuse me, trying to convince people that Jay,
will you talk for a second, well, I have a little sip of
tripy here. Sim Yet we already know that this keeps going out with the
forever stamps, it every so many years, it goes up. That's why
they're called forever stamps, because once you have them, they'll still qualify even
if goes up from when you paid for it. Yeah, it's not just
like whatever the cost of the stamp was, that's how much money it's worth.
It. Forever stamps really are forever, and I don't understand why anybody
would be surprised that they increase to get they always increase. Well, just
another one of those things, right, death and taxes, and basically the
postal service is the tax is the taxing authority tax shap. We also need
to normalize not putting cash like actual cash in the mail, cash, cashier
checks, any of that stuff. That's not because we have seen an increase
in crime against USPS, ups, FedEx, all of those delivery drivers,
people taking things. But also when I was living in where did I live
at Tennessee, I almost to California when I was living in When I was
living in Tennessee, there was a USPS track right around the Christmas holidays and
all of that, and no doubt had a lot of holiday cards that had
cashing it checks in it. All of this stuff. There was a horrific
accident and the truck caught fire. Everything was a total loss. Yep,
there you go, bye bye to all that money. Dumb all right now
from taxes to death Kentucky boy eight years old. Originally the family blamed it
on an allergic reaction to strawberries. Apparently that was not the case. He
was he was somehow rather exposed to fentanyl. And how is an eight year
old boy getting fentanyl, I guess would be the question that everybody's asking.
It was in the household, That's the really tragic thing. He had gotten
strawberries from a fundraiser, and the evening that he was eating them kind of
started suffering what they thought were some alert reaction symptoms. Given binnadrol a bath,
all of this stuff put to bed, and then was found in the
morning unresponsive. Well, then a mass thing went out to all of the
parents and guardians at the school regarding the fundraisers donate the strawberries. The strawberries
ended up being tested, there was no fentanyl found, and then they ended
up finding it that the I can't remember if it was the stepdad or the
mom's boyfriend who lived in the house. They ended up check searching the house
and found that he was selling drugs. There was drug paraphernalia. So this
was a tragic accident that the child got was interacted with the fetanyl and unfortunately
lost his life in that. That's how dangerous this is that you even just
touch it. You don't even have to consume it, you just touch it.
Yeah, anything touching it, whiffing it, it did bugs. Stephen
