The next 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. Friday will come soon enough. Oh maybe not soon enough
for some of you. It depends, I guess on what's going on.
I'd be very thankful next week when Mercury comes out of retrograde. I'll tell
you that much. And then I wonder how everybody's life has been. How
is in terms of my life and business and career and what's going on in
the world has been the exact opposite of the mercury retrograde that we experienced after
Christmas. It's been a rocky rough, a pretty horrible road. One was
so easy, yeah right, this one is ooh e all right, So
let's celebrate some things. Let's try to do something new today. That's one
of the wonders of this program, the wonders of the world. You do
things new, so you don't wonder about what might have been. You move
ahead. You don't know. Some people say, oh, if I make
if I make a move, it'll be a mistake. What happens when I
make a mistake. Ah, well, actually it may seem like failing sometimes
when you misstep, but then what comes out of it it's supposed to be.
I'm one of those people that just thinks as much as it's rough and
there are things that you don't want to experience, but then you realize that
you you know, there are things the challenges that you take on could be
bigger and better and then where you have been. So look at it that
way. Look at the sun. I'm looking at the sun as the quote
unquote comes up. It doesn't really come up. The earth is moving toward
it. But the old expression, let's see red sky in the morning,
farmer take warning, red sky at night, farmer's delight. Well, we
have red skies in the morning. So I suppose that means we may have
a little bit of a rain. But into each life, Jay, a
little rain must fall. You can have a little exercise because it's exercise Day,
National Exercise Day. What do you do for exercise? Started back in
ancient Greece. That is the focus on fitness, and today there's a general
focus on fitness, not only in our country but all around the world.
Every significant civilization, not only now but through history has had something that's equivalent
to staying fit, exercise, yoga, all that sort of thing that we
have right now. Yoga started in ancient India. Do you know that jay
football started? Not the kind of football we have now, but just yeah.
Kicking the ball around started in Europe in the medieval times, and so
if you look at the documentation going back to thirty three thirty four hundred BC,
especially in India, there was a lot of discipline that was urged on
people and they took it. The mind body connection, the spiritual connection,
and mental health all connected to the varieties of exercise, including and not limited
to yoga. So if you are an exerciser, that's great because it certainly
has health benefits. Exercise alone, you'll find I think if you haven't done
it regularly. I know when I'm moving, my body's moving, it makes
me feel good. I'd take a tighten up my button, walk faster,
you know, stuff like that. You do it, and I've moved my
arms around as I'm walking. Oftentimes people look at me and say, what's
the matter for that guy, Well, I'm just trying to keep my body
in shape. If you do a lot of sitting, you will you join
the group that has a lot of heart disease. So the idea to have
the exercise blood cloths, yeah right, exactly, legs and everywhere in your
body. So we celebrate with you and everybody National Exercise Day. Okay,
so let's take a trip, shall we around America a couple of stops,
including your native state of Ohio. That woman's son that got hit by the
hockey puck, it seems there's more getting hit back to the that's right,
Yeah, well he was. He didn't get hit, but he would have
been if it hadn't meant for the person that got in his way at the
Cleveland Monsters game, the fellow who reached over to block the puck that came
out of the ice toward the four year old boy. And so his mother
was thinking about what would have happened if that fan had not been there.
So the post on this story is that she reached out to try and find
the fellow who was the fan and offering, you know, her gratitude as
much as anything else, maybe a meal, maybe tickets to another game,
that sort of thing. So she went out looking for this anonymous fan asked
him if he saw this to contact her, and there were like millions of
people who saw this thing. And apparently the fellow who was the hero here
saw the story here and said, okay, yeah, let me connect with
them. So the guy's name was what's his name Davis? I think as
is that his name? No, Asia Davis is Nassir's mom. Yeah,
Andrew Andrew Puddlock. I believe, No, not important what his name is.
What happened is what's important. So anyway, and the kids, there
were some kids behind them who actually caught the puck that did and they gave
it to Asia the cr They're like, hey, you deserve this. Do
you want this? But the cool thing is that, of course the monsters
in h I'll get ahold of the story and they celebrate them. They celebrate
the heroism and just kind of give a good example and cherish of taking care
of each other. And they were all welcomed down to Center Ice during the
playoffs, and so as the story goes, they all at the end of
the day felt wonderful. Right, That's the thing I just think that there
is you know, when this youngster or the parents go back to a game
again, they're gonna worry all the time that they're gonna maybe a puckway most
of the seats. If you go to most of the hockey, even in
the high school hockey, the ice in the arenas has those big, heavy,
thick plastic things around, right. Yeah, and then in some areas
there's like an distion of of netting, but the puck can still go like
over top of all of it. Really lucky kid. All right, let's
see what else is going on here. In Ohio high school senior has died
after falling from a moving vehicle. I saw this and I thought, Okay,
this is the Darwin Award of the day, and it goes to so
heartbreaking. It is stupid, right jumping You're lost his life. It's heartbreaking.
They were just playing. They were playing tag with water guns, and
he jumped up on the one step thinking of his buddy's truck, not thinking
that he could fall off and hit crack his head open. Essentially. Well,
but you know, I guess, yeah, he's a kid and he
does. Kids do crazy things. But yeah, it still means nothing when
you get to the end of the day. Because the kids did, they
tried to perform CPR and me he fell off of the of the running board
on the side of the and so I don't know. I just see these
sorts of things, and I do feel badly. I'm not being cold and
hard and you know, but I just think that this is the kids don't
think often about consequences, right, I think even adults oftentimes don't think about
consequence. Look at the way some people drive that are supposedly adults and what
happens. So anyway, am I being a jerk because I think that it
was so unnecessary? Yeah? I think it's fun to joke about, like
Darwinism and all of that stuff. Don't get me wrong, But when somebody
actually, like a young I know, we can't call him a child who
was eighteen, But when somebody loses their life, that's that's a little tough.
Mm hmm. Yep. All right. Let's see here. Moving to
New York and the I Love New York Department and the Health and Mental Hygiene
Department is released and advisory after a lot of cases of an infection that's associated
to exposure to rats, and so far twenty four cases of leptospirosis, which
is being exposed to rat urine, have been reported. The average number locally
in New York was fifteen cases a year, and so now they have twenty
four cases and it's only April the eighteenth ninety eight locally acquired cases in the
last fifteen twenty years. Median age fifty years old, usually a male,
most often in the Bronx. But there have been rat problems in Brooklyn and
Manhattan and Queens and Staten Island. So the severe cases have a lot of
organ failure, pulmonary issues, you know, a lot of them die and
headaches and chills and muscle aches and that sort of thing. How do you
get it? What do you? Yeah, yeah, happen with you.
I understand it's from rat urine and everything, but where is it that?
How are people being exposure to something that you around it to consume or is
it just something you can inhale? Like? Is it an airborne situation?
How is this happening? Is it not rest there? There you go,
okay, touching it? There you go? The this the mayor has,
you know, this will be hung on him to a point, and it
should be because he's doing a horrible job. He's as bad as Biden,
only on a local level. There's no the city's out of control. There's
no controlling the kinds of inspections and things that need to be done. I'm
not great for government involvement and much of anything, but in this case where
it's so obvious that there needs to be a focus on this just you know,
this is New York City. And speaking of that, here's a guy
that's dead. Three people hurt on scooters when guys opened up fire shooting at
the corner of a Bronx one of the streets in the Bronx, and four
men, two of them were on scooters, were shooting at these guys that
were on the street corner. So you had two drivers on the scooters and
then two on the back that each had guns, all of them wearing masks.
So yeah, and a cylinder investigation whether or not it was targeted,
they knew the people, or if it was just a wrong place, wrong
time. Exasperating celebrity news. Kate Hudson, she has an album. Didn't
we announce this like four or five months ago? Do I remember? Or
maybe more recently even than that. Kate Hudson she announced, yeah, when
she announced her her album itself, and that she was excited about it and
it was kind of shocking that she hadn't delved into music because she we know
she can sing, she's had rules where she was singing, and we know
that she's good. But this is her actual debut album. So it was
a twelve song project, and she said it was more real to me than
anything I've done in my entire life, which is kind of you know,
when you look at some of the movies she's been in, what she's done
in general with her life. She's been nominated for an Oscar for Having Sakes
And so this thing it's called the album is called Glorious, And was that
the song I didn't get that? Gonna find Out? Is that the song
that we just played here? The song it's a first Yeah, the song
is going to find out. So the album Glorious is set for release on
May seventeenth, but she she unveiled the title of the album, the cover,
a release date, all of that good stuff and information along with the
new single Gonna find Out. So that's good, right. She wants to
let the listeners into her world as a musician. So she get all kinds
of did she write this stuff some of it? Or did somebody write it
for her? Is this I think specifically original music. Yeah, yeah,
I think. I think she co wrote a lot of it, if not
all of it. But she said that it was kind of like she got
to the corp of who she was. She didn't realize that she needed to
find herself and she didn't realize she was going to find herself. But in
working on this project, she did. And it's it has like Linda Perry
is going to be on it. She it's it's it's really good. Her
husband worked on it. Who's producer in all that stuff. It's going to
be great starting new things in life, no matter what the age of the
person thinking, you know, I'm going to start something new. Well,
there it is something new, something unique, all right. Next up in
our profile of the trending items in the celebrity department is Mariska Hargatea, who
is the star of Law and Order SVU. But that I love that theme.
It so distinguishes the shows from anything else that's on TV. So one
of the stories that's following her this week as they planned the twenty fifth season
of SVU Law and Order SVU. There have been what a thousand episodes of
various Law and Order shows, so anyway, she's a police officer, well
at least she's not in real life's not a police officer. She plays one
on television. But she was filming one of the episodes and she was approached
by a child. Now she you know she is. She's worked with groups
in New York to help youngsters who are lost, abducted, you know,
the center of some of the themes of the show. So while she was
filming the last episode of this season last week, she was approached by a
small girl who believed her, that is Murska, to be a real police
officer. Yeah, she was wearing a badge, and you know that's part
of her outfit, absoletely oblivious to the production, the cast and the guard
and everything, which I understandably should so they don't. It wasn't revealed her
age, but she was a very young girl and she had got separated by
her mother or from her mother while at the park and saw Marisco with a
badge police officer. A nice tea as well was with her. He's got
his badge. So anyway, apparently they've it worked out okay, though I
think did the child help the child finder the mother and so that worked out
okay, all right, Well another real life item there, right from the
world of make believe. So it's great business time for Caldron. I would
think the phones would be ringing off the hook and people would be ordering nauseum.

That sounds like it would be kind of fun. Caltron at top loss

at top loss dot com. There's a big deal in the US House.
You know, the Mayorcis thing, I suppose is one of those the Senate.
This is let's go from one side to the other j for a moment,
shall we. The Senate killed the impeachment trial against mister Mayorcis, who
I think is a dunderhead. He's horrible at his job. But pretty much
everybody in if you're going to impeach him, you better impeach the whole department.
And it was really a waste of time and money. There was you
know, the Republicans loved to do this, and the Democrats seem to do
it. Let's take a shot at somebody, but the Senate on a fifty
one to forty nine vote. Republicans were backed in the Senate by the you
know, the Republicans that are there. But anyway, he is, you
know, he's blaming everything on Congress, and Congress blaming everything on him.
It's the usual Washington scenario and it's ridiculous. So this they you know,
he may say that the trial was baseless, and those on that side may
say it's baseless. He has not done a good job. That's enough to
impeach somebody. But the whole thing, you know, the ranker, if
you will, back and forth between the Republicans and the Democrats is abusive.
The people say, oh, this is historical. No, this is nonsense.
Maybe it is historical, but it's nonsense. These people are acting like
children. We're gonna go gain, We're gonna get you. No uhuh nope,
nope, nope, nope. So yep, it is. So.
The other thing that's going on, leadership in the House has proposed a ninety
five billion dollar for an aid package three funding bills for Israel, Ukraine,
and Taiwan. The vote will take place on the weekend and it comes a
couple of months after the House decided to take up the same sort of legislation
passed by the Senate. So you know, sometimes these bills start in the
House, sometimes they start in the Senate. This one started over in the
Senate. So sixty one billion in this package for Ukraine fighting against Russia,
twenty six billion for Israel in the fight in the Gaza, an eight billion
for security in the Indo pack. The I was going to say Indo Pakistani,
but the Pacific area I've obviously aimed at Taiwan, and then there are
some other parts of the loans to Ukraine and all that kind of stuff.
You know, as much as we loan money to other countries, I wonder
if anybody ever pays it back. It's maybe, you know, do they
have the same philosophy there as they do towards student the student loans. Let's
go okay, you know, we'll just wipe it off with interest off the
bucks, right, exactly? All right? National Basketball Association banning the forward
for the Toronto Raptors, a guy named John Tay Porter. I don't know
this guy, but I'm not a big basketball fan. He's been banned for
a life for violating the league's betting rules. It's the same thing that happened
to Pete Rose forty years ago. He was playing for the Memphis Grizzlies.
What kind of You're from Memphis? No, you're from Nashville. Does National
have a basketball team? No? No? Football, hockey, soccer?
All right? So anyway, this all started when the betting operators flagged an
eighty thousand dollars bet with a one million dollar payout. The bet was that
Porter would underperform against the Sacramento Kings, and so as it turns out mister
Porter left that game early. He had said I got a sore ankle or
something minor ailment. And this apparently he leaked information Jay about his health to
the better and apparently they were going to split the You know this is this
is creepy. Yeah, yeah, right, inside is right. You have
the punishment for the crime in this case, it totally warranted. Yeah,
all right. So let's go over to the w NBA, shall we,
and the focus on Caitlin Clark there. She's apparently the best player. Would
you agree with that? If you're watching. She supposedly is the double A
and the March madness and everything she right and not even just the season.
She has been above par her nearly her entire college career. She's from the
University of Iowa. She's made history as the basketball's top scorer female basketball in
college top scorer. So she has a contract with the Indiana Fever I Guess
Women's Basketball League right women's basketball team. She's the number one pick in the
WNBA draft and so she signed a contract for three hundred and thirty eight thousand
dollars to be paid out over four years. And so somebody looked at that
and said, wait a minute, she's going to get a base salary of
seventy six thousand dollars over four years, and then she has options and that
sort of thing. So some intelligent journalists said, let's look at this and
let's compare it to what the men are getting reasonable. Right, So her
salary turns out to be just it's infinitesimal next to the male athlete eight that
are starting in the NBA. Right for comparison purposes, the rookie that's playing
for San Antonio, a guy named Victor Wembanyana. I think that's how you
say his name, number one pick in the NBA draft this year. Fifty
five million for four years, twelve million a year versus hers what ninety six
thousand? Would I say? It was seventy six thousand, So you can
imagine how this is going over with. It's not even just like a a
wage gap between the sexes. You have to also look at how much the
WNBA brings in versus how much the NBA brings in, which makes sense,
which is also a crime that the WNBA doesn't bring in more money. But
I think that the tides are changing a little bit. More people are paying
attention to women's sports. More people are realizing that women are astounding athletes,
and I think that the WNBA will start to bring in more money too.
But Caitlin Clark alls, so it is very close to cutting a deal with
Nike that would include a signature shoe, and that's like an eight figure deal.
Yeah, but still you understand what I'm getting at here. And you
said something about how much more attention is being paid. I think I said
the other day. It was last Thursday or Friday when I saw the ratings
for you know, after March Madness was all over the women's basketball and March
Madness secured the highest ratings and viewership of any team sport outside of the football
Super Bowl eighteen. Almost nineteen million people watched the last game with her as
the star. There weren't any NBA games, There weren't any college games in
March Madness. Think of that kind of a rating. So it's changing,
and it looks to me, Jay like it's changing rapidly, And so is
this fair? I mean, I'm looking this is certainly a conversation that'll start
trouble it. Get Pira, what do you mean women are not as good
as men. I don't know, you know, you look at what some
of the women. This has been a long This is back to the women
versus men thing, no matter where you look at it. I remember there
was a there's a big to do with one of the NBC Today Show stars
who is a female who was comparing she'd been on NBC Today for as long
as a couple of the men, and she was making half as much money.
And there was a big to do about that, as there should be.
I mean, no matter what the business, no matter what is going
on, if women are doing the same job as men, they need to
get paid the same as men. This has been going on in these conversations
as long as I've been doing talk radio, which is from you know,
like since the nineteen seventies. This has been an ongoing discussion about how abundantly
paid men are and how insufficiently paid women are. In almost every field.
Now the gap has been lowered, for sure. And you know, that
was one of the principles of Black Lives Matter, the whole discussion of what
black people get paid for doing the same job that white people do and it's
not the same. There are any kind you know, I've gotten off of
that ride. Black lives matter, but this is a fundamental thing that needs
attention. Fundamental or does it? People care? I care because I don't
think it's right. But my alone voice in the wilderness. Under the circumstances,
seventy six thousand dollars a year for a WNBA superstar versus fifty five,
I mean, you know, whatever is twelve million dollars a year for a
guy who plays basketball. No, I've never heard of this guy. I've
certainly heard of her, but I'm sure if I were. It goes into
the league itself. You can't pay money that's not even there. M Yeah,
And when it comes to athletics, When it comes to athletics, it's
kind of a different story because I totally agree with you, Doug on the
gender gap and the way just has to that has to go away. That's
just absurd and ridiculous. But you look at even within the same organization,
like say the NBA just alone, you have rookies that come in that even
make different money because of how much money they're going to bring in, how
much money the franchise has itself, how much money the organization has. It's
well, let's put it this way. Let me boil it down to brass
tacks. Let's say you're the father of a daughter and the daughter wants to
go into sports and or anything, never mind any kind of an opportunity that
sons and daughters. Don't you want the son and the daughter to be paid
what they deserve for what they accomplish. That would be the And I think
that ought to be taught, and it isn't being taught. That's kind of
the bottom line with me. Donald Trump, true to his style, has
taken a look at some of the candidates in the Republican Party running for various
offices around the country that have been using his image, like somebody running for
the Senate, somebody running for the House of Representatives, somebody running for governor,
and they have sought out the backing of Donald Trump because they think that's
how they win. And I guess in some states, in some circumstances,
that probably would be the case. So now Trump has added an interesting wrinkle
to it. He has notified or his people have notified everybody around the country
that's running as a Republican and using his image and saying Donald Trump supports me.
He wants a five percent cut from if the person gets elected to whatever
the office is, he wants five percent of that person's salary because yeah,
right, and that's what I say about him. It's just it's always it's
ongoing. I mean, who wouldn't they in the name of heaven, And
when you're looking around at the turmoil and everything's going on around Donald Trump would
think he'd wake up one day and say, you know what, I want
five percent for using my name, my image and my likeness or don't do
it. So there are a lot of scammers too that are using his name
trying to make a point. So anyway, I just find it interesting because
every day with him, it's something else, right, It's not the easy
way. He doesn't take the road less traveled. He takes the road well
maybe it is. I guess it depends on your definition of the road less
traveled. But he certainly is on a unique road for everyone to see.
His wife apparently is really angry about what's going on in court. Did you
see that she's really getting She allegedly say by the sources? Do you ever
believe these sources? Well, okay, maybe not. Maybe I shouldn't give
any cretance to it. Huh, it's just anything's about it any well,
anything that has to do with Trump. You know, it looks like he
and his wife are in a marriage of convenience, so it almost looks like
that. But yet she seems to be every once in a while she sticks
her head out of the hole and says she participated in one way or another.
She's really with him on the campaign trail, really with him. Neither
is his son, what's his name, Baron, who's almost yeah, remember
that kid when he was just a little teeny bobber And especially Milania, she's
been very protective of Baron and right, so it seems well she should beside
looking in it seems like she's a really good mom. And it is so
gross. So Baron turned eighteen a couple of months ago, I believe,
and it's just gross that the news media and other journalists have been saying,
you know, they've come after Donald's other children, but Baron was off limits
because he was underage. And then they were essentially chomping at the bit having
a countdown clock of when this kid turns eighteen, quote unquote, fair game,
you get a life, get a life, will you please these people?
Why is it. The older we get, it feels like a good
quality sleep becomes harder and harder to come by. It just becomes more difficult
to get that well rested look when you wake up in the morning because you're
not really feeling well rested. My pillow can change that. As somebody who
suffers from chronic illness, sleep and quality sleep is really hard to come by.
But here's the thing. My pillow is probably one of my favorite items
in my home. I love mypellows pillow. It is one of those things
where I can change the shape of it to really create on my neck if
that's what I'm needing. The my pillow pillow is just so incredible. But
that's not all they are known for. They have mattress toppers, they have
down comforters, they have blankets. It is like the quality sleep shop.
I also have a pair of my slippers. They are the most comfortable things.
It is like walking on clouds. Check it out. You can also
get into their biggest sale ever where you can save up to fifty percent.

Digging into social media normally, you know this time in the day. I
like to dig around in some of it, in the real world of the
mechanics of how this all works, focusing on things like AI. There's a
new algorithm that traces metastatic cancer cells. This is good news. You know,
we look for good. We know there's bad with AI, so where's
the good? And this new algorithm looks at those who have looks at those
cells who have left the original tumor and traveled around the body, what happens
with breast cancer especially, and so it's supposed to help provide tailored treatment for
patients. That'd be interesting to see how that works right under the circumstance as
well. All Right, Tesla's going to ask shareholders today to reinstate the fifty
six billion dollar compensation package that Elon Musk gets or was getting until it was
rejected by a judge in Delaware, and to move the corporate office from Delaware
to Texas, so that'll make it easier for him to do what he wants
to do, which is get fifty five point eight billion dollars over the next
to while I was supposed to start in twenty eighteen, so it's supposed to
be a fifty five billion dollar package paid over ten years going through twenty twenty
eight, and the shareholders in a lawsuit alleged the paypackage should be voided because
it was dictated by Musk himself and there were it was a sham. Well,
yeah, he started the company. I mean, in a manner of
speaking, it wouldn't have happened without him. And then there's okay, is
this over reaching? Is this overkill? Is this too much? And so
the judge decided with the board of directors the shareholders and said, no,
he's not entitled to this, But how do they make there based on what?
What's the judgment based on? Is it just the judge says, Noah,
we don't want to pay him that much money. He's certainly made.
He's made Tesla very visible, a lot of growth there. I'm no fan
necessarily of Musk, you know, because he's kind of a crackpot. He's
like trumpet him in, you know, in a million different ways. But
they've they've posted record deliveries. The cars are crap, according to a lot
of people I know, like Jack Stockwell loves his. I know people who
can't they couldn't wait to get rid of them. And they're dangerous if you
don't know how to drive, they're very dangerous. Well, and that's a
frenny gar if you don't know period. I guess that's true. But when
are we going to get that fight between Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg. I
feel the wrestling match was going to be a box went totally gone. Yeah,
yeah, somebody's chicken. Anciety needs that. We need that, Yeah,
yeah, chicken. All right. Here's a story about a solar farm.
I'm putting solar on my farm and I never thought about this, but
there was a big hailstorm in Texas the other day that destroyed a massive solar
farm. And so with that again the technology of how it works and where
it works. Flying back on Monday, I noticed when we're flying over Nevada
is a huge solar farm to drive by. When I was on my way,
I had some land. At one point in time in Arizona, I
used to drive by this huge solar farm and we could see it from thirty
six thousand feet. It was so bright. It's the same thing, and
these things are great when it comes to providing the energy, the electricity because
you're not it doesn't cost any money. But now, there were concerns about
chemical leaks from panels as they get older. And in this circumstance, the
hail that beat up the technology, beat up the screens themselves, and all
of this stuff is this gooey stuff that's in them is leaking out all over
the place. So then there's you cause to think about all of these things.
Is they're more harm than good being done? Yeah, you gotta make
them stronger, for sure. The neck Stefan Good Day download with Doug and
