The duck Steffen Good Day Download with Doug and Jay Kirshner is made possible in
part by Kellatrin, which is the safe way for you to lose weight and
keep it off, and also by privigen keeping your brain healthy. First of
August, paying tribute to Emperor Augustus instead of Julius Augustus Caesar, thou Art
King, or thou Art Emperor or thou Art dead. Whatever it is,
Okay, it's still August, no matter what long may he be gone about?
Always remember, in the manner of speaking, how do you do?
This is the Doug Steffen Good Day Program for another hour of facing the facts,
looking at what is this is? This program is described by some is
almost normal. So what do you how do I take that? What do
you think? Jay, Let's a good different almost there, almost normal,
right exactly, kind of like the weather. The long range forecast for the
month around the country is for almost normal weather, with the exception of the
southwest, where the Mojave Desert is burning in more than one respect, and
a lot of people think that because it's a desert, no fires, right,
not gonna have any trouble out there. Those of you who live there,
who are listening to this. No, that is not the truth.
In fact, the Mahabi as we speak, is burning. It's the biggest
fire they've had for quite a long time because in terms of this wildfire,
there is a lot of construct to be burned. The blaze that is being
fueled in part by the rapid growth of underbrush because of all the rain they
had during the winter. There unusual amount of rain and wash out that sort
of thing. So the misconception that the desert doesn't burn has gone up in
smoke. See what I've done there, I see you know, and I've
never heard that that the misconception that the desert ever burns. I would think
that it absolutely can. Still, well, there's nothing there. People think
because it's sand, that there's nothing to burn. But there's a lot of
brush, a lot of stuff the tumbleweed, if you will. And then
you hear so much the tumbling tumbowed so much about Yeah, that burns.
And those of you who live there now you can confirm if you'd like,
what's your experience Facebook and Instagram at good Day Radio showing on X It's good
day on here. That seems silly, doesn't it? X have a problem
with their sign. In fact, X doesn't mark the spot anymore. Will
Yes, it is too right, Just like Elon Musk, he's too bright
for the rest of us. He's got it all figured out. This.
In fact, the first of August is the beginning of National Wellness Month.
The concept, if you will, of self care something that we'll talk with
Jack Stockwell this week on our Good Day Health program and Ken Cronehouse as we
have these excerpts from their thought pattern on this program and also on Good Day
Health that you're gonna hear on many of these same stations over the weekend.
There are a lot of philosophers who've been around I think if Socrates as one,
maybe Plato is another, emphasizing the importance of self care. Did you
study these in school, Jay, Did you get into the mind of Socrates
and Plato when you were or yeah, briefly, Yeah, of course did
the philosopher thing. Chinese principles of the Taoism promoting self care like meditation is
something that's important then and now, like breathing, taking care of yourself.
That's always that flight theory where if you're on a plane, they tell you
if there's a loss of cabin pressure and the oxygen masks come down and put
yours on before helping anybody else put theirs on. And that's a good theory
for life. Anyway. You can't help anybody else, you help yourself first,
right exactly. That's a principle of Taoism. Herbal medicine. Those of
you who take supplements, even like caldron for example, that's a supplement.
Go back a few centuries the emergence of movements focused on mental health and self
care. Haven't done such a great job of that continuing here in this country
for any number of reasons. But the practices. Think about the practices,
how successful more people spend in the last year, two years, three or
four years, ten years, have spent more money and with natural some people
call a homeopath the natural path, but those who are not traditional doctors,
however, you want to describe that more people that spent more money with them
than they have on regular medicine. That tells you something about regular medicine,
I suppose in a manner of speaking, and also ideas about if it is
if it's self care. Thinking about taking vitamins. For example, I take
vitamins. I take about thirty different supplements is that people say, well,
what stems between vitamin and supplement. Supplement can be something that is complementary to
your body. There are lots of herbs, if you will, there are
a lot of minerals that you need in your body. Sometimes you don't get
that in the food. Matter of fact, the foods so crappy these days
that you almost need to survive. You need at least a good multi vitamin,
and you need fish oil, you need a lot of I have lots
of things that I take into visually, vitamins not so much A but BC
D E here and there. So your own personal way of looking at there's
some people I remember my father, I'm taking too many pills now I don't
want to take anymore. It's that's kind of silly because it just depends on
what it pills. Because some you know, if it's cardiovascular things or diabetic
situation, some medicine you just you have to take. There's there's no way
around it. But when it does come to the overuse of vitamins and all
of these different things, you look at other countries and there's no aisle or
nutrition store that just has all of this stuff because they have whole foods that
already have a lot of these nutrients in it, where our grocery trials are
full of food like products not actual food. Yeah, preservatives, that sort
of thing. So and then there are those things in terms of being well
the spa. Do you like to go to the spa? I do my
self care thing is facials are my big thing. And then even just even
just home facials. If I need a moment, I will go upstairs in
which swash my face and it makes a world of difference. It does.
So you are encouraged to prioritize yourself, take care of yourself, because if
you don't take care of yourself, you can't take care of anybody else.
As we are pointing out here in a number of different ways, healthy habits,
people who smoke. A lot of people stop smoking. We thought we've
kind of done a pretty good job here and elsewhere of getting people to stop
smoking. It's trying to keep them from starting in the first place. That's
important. And then there are is you know, we all have our little
things. I have my ice cream thing. People have a chocolate thing,
or they have an alcohol thing, or they have a drug thing. But
you can sometimes if you if you just jump into a tub with warm water.
That's the old Roman baths. Thinking about that, have you ever been
to Rome or any of the old Roman Empire? The Roman baths or some
of them as a matter of fact, where they are most pronounced in my
experience is Bath, England. Why didn't they call it bath? There's Bristol
and there's Bath that are close together, sort of the western part of England.
Bath is that where the Romans when they got to England, they set
up their own wellness, situated their own healing things. That's been That's what
the Romans were known for, along with yoga and stuff like that. Oh
yeah, so a thing too, yes, yep, So again something to
think about. Treat yourself well? Well. I like that word anyway,
If you like that word, the sound of that word, it sounds like
what it is, doesn't it. Are you well? Right? Thank you?
This isn't that sound? Yeah? Yeah, well, I'm Wellness is
not selfish, it's a necessity, right, exactly. All right, let's
see if we had I guess I can't really go through all of that and
not have a story about calidron. Right. Calidron, which is the weight
loss product that I've endorsed and been talking about on the air for let's see,
they've been in existence from his twenty seven years, and I've been talking
about them for at least seven because of the weight loss stories. Easy to
talk about them because it works so well for so many different people. And
some people will say, well, what's the secret? I have a question
or two. I want to know why this works and other things may not.
A lot of it depends on how much you are paying attention to yourself
and your own wellness. Frankly, this is a sort of a progressive way
of you taking care of yourself. You listen to any of the consulates there.
We have Elizabeth Millern with us frequently to tell the story about Caltron and
how it worked for her. That's how she became a counsel. Ish lost
forty pounds by taking Calatron, and that's the best way to convince yourself that
this makes good sense. Talk to somebody who's been there, done that,
and that's what you'll find when you go to toploss dot com. They are
a website toploss dot com which gives you the whole story, nothing but what
is the earliest president, the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the
truth. But it's there. They have a product to sell. They've come

Be well. I suppose it's a good It's a good tagline for any messenger
sending, as long as it's well. In this month not too good a
month for Paul Rubens, probably best known not as Paul Rubens, but as
pee Wee Herman. He has died the age of seventy, had bad cancer.
You can almost tell, and this somebody will throw a rocket me for
saying this. You can tell when people don't aren't well. He never looked
well. Frankly, I thought that wasn't his claim. He had a couple
of claims to fame, some of them good, some of them not so
good. So we'll talk about Pee wee Herman Paul Rubens remembering him, I
don't I never really got this guy. Frankly. He got into trouble for
doing some controversy. It was nineteen ninety one, I think down in Sarasota,
indecent exposure that kind of ruined his career, and that's what people remembered
him for. Unfortunately, didn't it happen at an adult theater too, where
it wasn't that something that you kind of expect that to happen. Yeah,
well, I mean down in Florida at that time, and maybe still to
a point. They have a warped sense of the people running the stamean look
at some of the things. And I say this knowing that somebody will throw
a rock at the radio that De Santis has stood for the idea of what's
proper what isn't you know? Why would you bother to arrest somebody for going
to an X rated theater and doing what he did it's just it's just,
I know, it's too bad that that becomes what people talk about with regard
to this guy, because a lot of people thought he was a good entertainer.
He thought it was fun, Pee's being adventure and actually like a genuinely
good person. Tim Burne says that he credits him for really the beginning of
his career, and he also did so many other things other than Pee Wee
Herman. I remember him most from his role in Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
The movie. Yeah, it was just one of those he had like probably
the most iconic death scene where it was so overly done and he was just
amazing. And here he had been privately battling cancer. This is another one
of those situations where we had no idea. Yep, yep, he's had
it. He had a tough time in many respects. We are celebrating Wellness
Day, among other things, Wellness Week, Wellness Month. Let's be well
all the time. Being well is good better than not being well under the
circumstances. So let's think positive thoughts, think good things, all that good
stuff. There are good things going on. There are awkward things that are
going on. Jay and I talk about the good and the bad, the
ugly and the awkward. This is awkward. How's this think about this?
In terms of irony? J A lot of the automakers that have been trying
to convince us all that we don't need AM radios in our car, there
has been some research done by the automakers themselves that suggests that it's very embarrassing.
The new research shows that heavy listening to AM makes a car buyer more
likely to buy an EV than somebody who doesn't listen to AM radio. Really,
yeah, how about that resting? Yeah? I thought that way.
Speaking of studies, there are always studies. One of the things polls and
studies. People on talk radio programs love to talk about polls and studies.
So let's move over a little bit to this new study that shows that deaths
from alcohol are on the rise in women. Why would that be one of
the warning signs? This is something for all of us to listen to.
This is something that we'll talk about this week with doctor Ken. As he
goes through he does a lot of research and brings to the surface a lot
of the studies that we're done. For example, the journal lead the American
Medical Association always has something in it. He pretty much refers to one of
the studies every week, and this one is focused on use and addiction,
examining six hundred thousand alcohol related deaths. And this didn't include deaths from injury,
hamas sides death that are indirectly linked to alcohol. This is specific alcohol
use. And the conclusion was men were almost three times more likely to die
than women. And the alcohol related deaths who are trending upward for both men
and for women. The number is on the way up for women, but
it isn't up to the point where it is for men. But think about
this, go ahead, and yeah, well we've we've heard this, and
I remember learning about this in school with wellness and health class and about the
effects of alcohol. But also speaking of the body, the actual body makeup
of men versus women, it was always what men can have, What is
it like two alcoholic beverages a day or one and a half alcoholic beverages a
day where women should only have one or two a week, or something like
that. With your size very different. It doesn't have to do with your
size. Sometimes how much you're going to absorb. Bigger people seem to be
able to absorb. That's is that an old wives Taylor? Is that true?
Bigger people can absorb more alcohol than smaller people. Yeah, And I
think it just depends on what we're speaking on, bigger of it, if
it's taller or something. But I know that people who have more body fat
tend to be hungover more easily because it absorbs into the fat and the fat
holds onto it. Really, I didn't know that, So that's interesting too.
Yeah, It's just it's one of those things I tend to gravitate toward
those I've said I've made a secret. My mother was sadly a very It
was really strong out on alcohol and tobacco and stuff, and that's why she
died at the age of fifty. And seeing all that growing up, perhaps
that was as good a deterrent as any. I just don't drink, never
have. I don't smoke, never have, didn't do drugs, never have.
You see it, maybe you grow around it. I suppose you could
go either way. If you see it, you think it's acceptable, and
so maybe that's what makes some people do what they do. But there's it's
just it's more of a oh I didn't know that sort of a thing,
and maybe look at your own habits, and you look at your own constitution
and your own circumstances and thinking, you know, I don't think I want
to be a part of that. That statistic. Maybe here's a statistic maybe
you would like to be a part of. This is from the snag department.
Jay, my daughter says that I'm a snag, a sensitive new age
guy. Most people men. This is more a men thing. Men are
almost as likely as women to be sensitive modern men, not necessarily the men
who are my age. I guess this is an open overview of what men
in general have attitudinally in terms of displaying a sensitive side. Men have to
be feelings, right. We grew up around you. Gotta be tough,
right, no crying. My father thought there was something wrong with me because
I was emotional, and I still am. My father's not around to judge
that. You hear me from time to time on this program, even when
I get into a story or there's a piece of music or something that really
touches that feeling. We all have different things that push that button. But
seventy one percent of the men who are in the study of two thousand adults
report being in touch with their feelings. Eighty two percent of women said that
they were in touch when given a specific example about would you show your emotional
side or do you think you have in these sensitive circumstances. One third of
those who were pulled believe being in tune with how you feel is a sign
of a good leader. That really is I find that interesting. So think
about the leaders You hear me all the time talking about leadership and how there's
a shortage of real leadership. One of the things that is important is to
be able to have sensitivity. And maybe we'll look at Joe Biden and we
make mine make this political because everybody makes everything political. Is Joe Biden more
sensitive than Donald Trump? Hey? You think? And what does it mean?
What does that sensitivity means? Sensitivity means being sympathetic with others and their
feelings, that sort of thing. Well, that's why the empathetic kind of
situation. But people can be extremely sensitive, but only within themselves, not
and how things affect them without being sympathetic nor empathetic traits. Maybe you don't
have to show it, right, I mean, take those two guys,
they don't necessarily show their emotions. Here's the better question do you This may
be good something for social media for people that reflect on for us to share
Facebook and Instagram. The handle has had good Day radio showing on it's good
day on air. What sensitivity do you have? The sensitive the sensitive side
of you? Is it open? It? Is it closed? Is it
shut down? Is it available? It really is an asset. I think
talk to you know what. We'll talk to er Geller about this later on
today. I think this is a great way thinking about what you want people
to know about you. And if you don't want people to see your sensitive
side, why would that be. I gotta be tough. I'm the boss,
I'm the leader. This. I think this shows that people don't expect
that that's the right or don't think that's the right way to be right and
think about your for those of you who I think we all think about your
father for boss too. Because leaders inspire other people. They creatively, they
innovate, but they encourage others to innovate. And a boss is more like
respect me. I am your authoritied M. Well, yeah you don't.
You don't demand respect, you earn it. You don't people don't respect you
because yeah, you gotta respect me. Because I'm the boss. Yeah,
there's this great illustration I've seen online of a boss versus leader where it is
somebody sitting in a chair being pulled by three people, like sitting on a
chair on a block being pulled by three people, and that's the boss,
and then the other one is the person that's sitting on the chair on the
block is actually in front of the three people helping everybody pool. And that's
the leader getting actually getting down and get into it, not just telling people
what to do. YEA. Now in terms of we're getting into feelings and
thoughts and thoughts are things that sort of thing. Um, I think this
is something that maybe we should strive for. Here there's an overview from South
Korea that when you think about our whether we're whether we are sensitive to things,
whether we think about things, what do we think about and how does
that affect our age? You worry a lot. I've said, worrying is
like a prayer for that that you don't want a lot of people worry about
things that are never going to come. But is it ninety six ninety seven
percent of all the things that you may think are going to go wrong don't,
So why do you put your head into that stuff so much. We
get a lot of sensitive thinking here. Well, in South Korea, maybe
this is a model for us to follow. Jay legislation was passed last year
that went into effect recently. South Korea now uses the International Age System to
calculate the ages of its citizens. South Korean's previously used three separate systems,
which resulted in people, you know, you know, list is forty five,
forty six, forty seven, and you aren't really that, you're really
two years younger were age because yeah, yeah, lot, you are one
as soon as you're born, and then you add another year at the start
of the new year, so you could be born in December and you're considered
one, and then it's the new year and you're you had another year,
you're already too, when really you're only two months, but you go by
two years. And isn't it funny the way children as they grew up.
I remember Miles when he was he was just seven, he said, well,
I'll be eight next And sometimes people youngsters want to be older and old
people want to be younger, right in practical in the practical sense, Well,
I think then you get to a certain age where you start doing the
childlike age counting, where I'm ninety nine and a half, I'm ninety three
quarters. Yeah, yeah, exactly, all right, just something quizzically going
on in our minds and in the experience. Here's some shop talk, remember
the old when Paul Harvey was Okay, let's here's the quiz. James Collins
at the controls in our studio in Dallas. Do you know who Paul Harvey
was? M I don't think so. Jay, you know who Paul Harvey
was, right, I don't know this one? No? Oh, all
right, Well, Paul Harvey was one of the most famous comment He was
Rush Limbaugh before Rush Limbaugh was Rush Limbaugh, except he didn't take the same
approach to his thoughts. He used to have a daily program. I actually
had three of them. One and was on in the morning for five minutes.
He had won on in mid day for eighteen minutes, and then he
had another commentary during the day that you could play on the station. He
was on the ABC Radio network for ever and ever and ever and was known
for his delivery and his thoughts. His wife. He and his wife were
partners. She wrote the commentary and he delivered it, but his voice was
like nothing you'd ever heard before. It sounded like God was speaking. Anyway.
The reason I used the terms shop talk is because a guy who's a
big time radio person down to Washington named Don Geronimo been around for a long
time. He was fired after he made some comments about Barbie to a female
television reporter. His name, Oh yeah, He was like, oh,
she must be one of the cheerleaders. Yeah right, Okay. I had
a little too much sensitivity sometimes going it comes to that stuff. But anyway,
I am Robert Strickler. My wife Joyce and I have been married for
fifty three years. Certainly one of the really important things in my life are
our children and our grandchildren. I am essentially a writer. I've been involved
in communications and the media. I've been an avid fly fisherman for at least
forty or more years. I've been taking Privigen on a regular basis for at
least eight years. For me, the greatest benefit over the years has been
that Privigen seems to help me recall things and also think more clearly, have
a crisper ability to remember and think through things. And I enthusiastically recommend Privigen.
It has helped me an awful lot provigen, Healthier Brain, Better Life.

We have lots of celebrity news that trends every day and we try to
find the high points, and I guess that story of Suzanne Summers is one
of them because it's so inspirational. Most of you who know who's whose Anne
Summers is? Let me ask James, James, who Susanne Summers is?
Yeah? She was in Three's Company? Okay, good, got it all
right? Anyway, so she has been talking. She always talks about her
health or I think she's done with her career with Three's Company. Since then,
she has had cancer most of her life, which is something worth talking
about. How did that work and how has she survived? We'll talk about
that threes Company. Suzanne Summers I think was on the show for what three
years? Jay? I remember that? Yeah? I think, yeah?
And during that time she started living with cancer. She was on that show
in her late twenties, and that's when she discovered her the doctor's discovered that
she had cancer or breast cancer, and she's had it. It's been in
and out her husband, who is somebody she's been. She's been one of
those stable marriage things. Alan Hamill has her husband been married for a long
long time. So she has been saying that she does her best not to
let the disease control her, whereas you know, we all know somebody who's
had cancer and understandably so they would let it get there. Yeah, my
wife, after twenty four years of stage four cancer, died at sixty five.
She got it when she was forty one, breast cancer. I remember
how she fought it and what a great example she was for those who She
was tough. She was small, but she was tough. And Susanne Summers
seems to be the same way. She says, it's a disease that's affected
my whole family. Once he hit me, Alan and I get closer and
every moment of every day was precious. We haven't spent one day apart in
forty two years. Wow, that's a big upside, don't you think it
really is? It is your family supportive, and she's dull with not only
breastcancer, but she had she was diagnosed diagnosed with skin cancer in her thirties
and it's just one of those things that keeps popping up. And she was
given an all clear from the doctor the other month. But they just it's
they know what comes back, so they it's just okay, she has a
break and then it goes comes out of the mission. Yeah, yea,
and mostly monitor it. Yeah, there's a lot of it on Facebook,
a lot of coverage of this if you want to check it up. Susanne
Summers and our focus with the good wishes for her. She's got a great
attitude. Man, You're gonna learn a lot from her. They remind her
about the most popular meteor shower of the year, Jay out of the northeastern
sky. Next week comes the proceed that I pronounce it proceed proceed, Thank
you, the meteor shower that lots of people get worked up about. Lots
of people think it's exciting. There are a lot of things in the night
sky this time of year. We've been talking about them off and on during
the summer, including the size of the moon, big and clear that is
August is showing up yep So, Now with a meteor shower one hundred and
fifty meteors a night will pass over the Earth in a stream. It's kind
of it's just it's it's debris left from the comets. The it's the most
popular one. There are lots of them. Comet is just an asteroid,
that's all it is. It's just it's like planet junks floating all around us.
And sometimes the way the Moon hits it or the sun. More importantly,
there's um the shooting stars are out there, and they're magnificent. You
get a binoculars out everybody have a telescope or binoculars. Y'all have those,
right, and you look in the sky. Look up in the sky.
It's a bird, it's a plane, it's a meteor shower. So,
and these are so big and they're so bright that you can see them with
you or I don't know why they call it your naked eye, but I
just got the use of any other anything else. You don't need binoculars the
shooting stars, but the binoculars and telescope will definitely come in handy, right
for an opportunity to see Saturn yep so. Anyway, that's something to look
forward to if that's on your docket. Good on my docket is a conversation
with Uri Geller about sensitivity in a matter of five or six minutes here on
Good Dan. Meantime, I was looking at the concerns of Americans. One
of the things when we put together this program, Jay and I. Although
we don't talk, so she knows my philosophy and I'm paying attention to hers
because we all have different things that turn us on. But one of the
things that keeps me thinking the world will be okay because we're so concerned about
artificial intelligence and will it take over my job and will there be people Well,
the robots won't won't have allergies. I's going to say, Hey,
I isn't going to have to worry about ragweed or grass spot. No.
Anyway, I was out mowing hey yesterday, and that always really stirs it
up. Anyway, the overview of people who are forty and over and what
they want in life. These surveys are done from time to time, and
somebody had the bright idea to take a robot who might be forty or something.
Yes, we're going to find out when robots are born we'll celebrate their
birthdays and yeah, when they take over the world, we'll have a happy
birthday for a robot number four or five, six, dash eight seven two.
Happy birthday to you. So anyway, what we're concerned about are things
in our career and our work. We have established what our work is,
and many of you are striving for advancement. You're trying to find either a
new job or a better position in the job you have, and sometimes that
put you in a position where it's hard to balance work and family. But
you can do it. It's just you have to focus and think about you
know, whether you want to on Saturday morning look at your email from work,
or you'll wait till Sunday night when everybody's gone to bed, you know,
stuff like that. I'm somebody, but I don't let it get in
the way people. They actually criticize me Jay, because I'm not tethered to
my iPhone. People send me emails or the text or something. I send
you an email ten minutes ago, get and respond right right, No,
come on, I don't do that well. Immediately available kind of s.
If you need to speak to somebody, call them and if they are not
available at the phone. Then they'll call you back when they get an opportunity
for whole like easy access. You must be available to second I need you.
Oh god, that's a buster for me. Anyway. What else do
people think about their relationships with their family, especially if the parents are getting
older. I find my two children, who are both in their forties,
are paying a lot more attention to me now. And they always have paid
a lot of attention to me, but they're more tuned in to what they
think. Maybe if there's a health problem, fortunately, knock on what.
I don't have health problems, you know. I have things that bother me,
like Megan saw. I took my shoes and socks off the other night.
We were watching television, and Megan looked at my toe and she said,
Dad, what's wrong with your toe? What's wrong with it? Megan?
I've had this bunyan for ten years? Oh? She said, it
looks awful. I said, come on, you've seen me. We've gone
swimming and stuff, and I've taken off my shoes and the toad turns to
the left a little and there's a bump there and she said, no,
Dad, it looks awful. Does it hurt? And I said, no,
it doesn't hurt at all. I get it fixed. But you know,
that's when I'm talking. She's paying more attention to this stuff, and
that is she's just so openly, Dad, your feet are gnarly. Well,
that's Megan and that's me. There are very few secrets between the two
of us, and that's something that I really love. She knows that I'm
not planning to retire. We were talking about that, the two of them,
she and her husband are professors at UCLA, and they'll I think probably
still certainly be in the academic world all of their lives. They always have
been since they were in school. Megan's always loved books and reading and thinking
and teaching and stuff. So I don't see that going away. But she
said something that was really stark the other day. She said, Dad,
I'm midway through my career. Huh. And I took out a picture of
her I have actually posted on my wall here in the studio if she and
her brother when they were like she was seven and he was four or something.
And I look back, I look at that picture every time I walk
out of the studio and I think, my God, And then underneath the
picture is a picture of Brendan with his son Jasper and Meghan with her son
Miles, and okay, what's happened here? Where is it going? Those
are the sorts of things that people want to talk about. They want to
feel secure about their relationships with their families and certainly financial stuff, their health
and well being. That's why we're talking as much as we are about the
fact this is Wellness Month, that sort of thing. What do you do?
Another thing that comes up is what do you do with your time?
How do you balance all the responsibilities. I find myself taxed now because I
do the radio program every day. I certainly all of the good weather months.
I'm very involved in my farm, and I also have this development I'm
doing, and plus the most important thing are those children and the grandchildren.
So it's a balance. And that's what I say to you, all of
you. You do, you learn about balancing, and one of the things
that happens is to not have yourself tethered to those damned devices. My friend
Ari Geller is here from his home in ISRAELI always has something great for us
to think about. I thought it was interesting that Joe Rogan took interest in
you do you think that's a Joe Rogan for those who don't know, probably
the number one podcaster in America. So why did he how did he take
note of you? It's very interesting, Okay, so let me tell you.
First of all, I'm standing outside my museum. Actually on the other
side of the road. There's a restaurant called Jasia. I think we ate
here together. We did and did eat there, and when the phone rang,
I had to go to a quiet place so I can speak with you.
So I said, okay, I'll go to the restroom and I shut
the door. But there was still music because you know, when you've got
the music in restaurants, it's also in the restroom. So I thought I
missed a chance to speak to you from a restroom, because that would have
been a first one after thirty five years. Right. Yeah, the music
was too loud, so I stepped outside. It's really nice today, it's
not very hot. And you see, because I'm right now in the middle
of the alien UFO visitations and the Pentagon and all these conferences that are going
on about whether UFOs or aliens exist. I know they exist because I've seen
them. I mean doctor Navan Brown, who was responsible for putting the Americans
on the moon. By the way, his background where he was a Nazi,
he was close to Hitler and Himmler, and the Kennedy clan after the
war said no, we will not take him to court. Let's bring doctor
Vernevan Brown to the United States and use his brains. And they did.
By the way, the Americans brought quite a few Nazi Nazi doctors and scientists
to America. There was a very famous book called the paper Clip. Anyhow
so, so because this is such a hot topic, now our aliens among
us, do they walk among are they visited where the UFOs had crashed?
And I'm telling you that I've seen them, because doctor la Van Brown took
me to a refrigerator room in a secret NAZA base, and I've got photographs
of me getting into his limousine, of me in his office. Doctor Vernevan
Brown pulls out the metal from his pocket and he says, or he touched
this. Tell me what you feel, what you think I touched a piece
of metal? And I tell him it's not from here. He says to
me, now follow me. He takes me into it a secret to his
office, his personal office, and there's a safe in the office. He
bends down, he opens the safe and inside the safe there is a big
piece of metal. I've never seen such a color before. It looked like
it was breathing. He pulls it out and he says to me, now
or he put your hand, all your the palm of your hand on this.
Tell me now what you feel. And I placed my pound on this
weird piece of metal, and I tell him, Vernon, this is definitely
from from some out of space, from extraterrestrial source. And he says,
you're right, this is a piece of a UFOL that crashed. Now,
all this area fifty one is becoming more credible now and more tangible because so
many whizard blowers are telling the stories, so many pilots. You can hear
the pilots screaming in the cockpit, Oh my god, what is this?
We locked onto a UFO now? So so Rogan, Joe Rogan. He
talks about these topics because it's in the news now. And I twitted a
film a video of me talking and showing doctor Verner von Brown, and he
found it fascinating. So guess what. He tweets it and he goes worldwide.
I mean, you know, he has like twenty million, twenty million
followers. Incredible, So that's why it got in there. Now Kevin Spacey,
we are jumping from UFOs to Kevin listen. Kevin is a great actor.
He I admired him and I still do. And guess what all this
thing that he was acquitted off, you know, the sexual blah blah blah.
I just didn't. I mean, come on, now, I know
Kevin Spacey. Well you know why because for four years he lived in my
apartment in London. Do you remember the night you brought me up there?
You don't remember the night you said we were We had dinner and waterloo and
you said I want to come upstairs and see the penthouse. So we went
up, you and Shippy and I and I forget who else was with us,
went up to the apartment. You showed it to me and we were
on our way out and out of the elevator comes Kevin Spacey with a bundle.
You don't remember that. I remember that vividly in fact, and you
introduced me to him and he was very quiet, but I knew at the
time that you and he were friends, and so I just when I saw
this stuff I was thinking about you. There's so many celebrities and famous people
who have sought you out for various reasons, and here's just another one.
You see the bright side, the right side, the good side of everybody,
and Kevin was one of him, and you were right about him.
All right or good ever? Says kind of fun memories as usual, Erie
Geller Here with Doug Stefan on good day. One of my favorite people in
life as a gentleman named Jack Stockwell. He happens to be a doctor,
he's a professor, he's abaumb vavant, he likes to eat like me.
He's a great guy, and he also happs to have great knowledge about what's
happening in the wellness world. And you'll be happy to know, Jack,
that this is the beginning of National Wellness Month, the concept of self care
and how we either do or don't kind of practice those principles. Isn't it
funny how some people just sign on to this, And I don't know if
funny's are over it is It's interesting to see what compels people to the various
thought patterns that they have, eating healthy, being mindful with you. When
I compare what your thoughts are to doctor Ken, that's why you're both part
of good day health. There's such a stark difference between the two of you
and your practices, and yet you're both healthy and your patients seem to be
healthy, but yet you don't agree on a lot of the things that aim
at keeping people well. And so as we practice wellness understanding that there's room
for both. I think the word here to the wise is taking care of
yourself. So when you have people come into your clinic in Salt Lake City,
do you discuss with them their own concept of their health and their their
idea of being well as that come up? Because I think, yeah,
yeah, because I you know, I almost always went to consult with a
new patient. As I was consulting with one yesterday that came in from Wyoming,
and I said, tell me about your diet. Oh, we have
a good diet. Well, what do you mean by a good diet?
Yeah? Salad? They eave salads. Really, yeah, that's most people
think if they're eating salads, than they're eating healthy. Well, you know,
so I have to go back to square one and say, wait a
second, wait a second, tell me tell me about that. What animal
products are you eating, Oh, well, I like steak, or I
like chicken, I like fish, this kind of stuff. And I said,
well, what makes you think eating salad makes you healthy and so?
And I don't say it like that, I don't say it condescendingly. I
just really want to know why. Well, we're supposed to eat so many
things of fruits and vegetables. And I said, yes, that's what the
US Department of Agriculture wants you to believe. But how much study have you
really put into this? Not that there's anything wrong with salad. I just
don't want you to equate the more salad you eat, the healthier you're going
to be, because the more salad you eat, the less of other things
you need to eat that are very very Just do you think it's more important?
Let's talk about what you put onto the salad. Isn't this salad so
much? What do you put on it? Like? Do you use apple
cider vinegar or balsamic vinegar or something like that? I suggest the ranch dressing.
Well, most of the commercial dressings out there are soybean oil or canola
oil based, both of which will destroy your heart. There's no issue about
it. The science is overwhelming in this area. You don't want to eat
these terribly overprocessed vegetable oils. So, like you said, and they said,
well, what shall we do? And I said, well, I
suggest you use apple cider vinegar, and you use extra virgin olive oil and
then sprinkle in or regano or whatever kinds of dressing herbs for seasoning that you
want to do. But when you can give your heart extra virgin first,
that takes it well. When I chack it up in a bottle, then
the vinegar, and then they all separated for pize. Say, come on,
come on, do you know what kind of chemicals exist inside the commercial
salad dressings to keep them bound together? It's not good for you. Everything
about that. There's a long way from chemistry and science and biology class in
high school, and a lot of stuff isn't discussed anyway. You know,
you published something the Good Day Health Programmer Weekend with Jack Yes puts together lots
of bits and pieces like what we're talking about here. You also had an
addition to talking about the things that you eat, what about what you drink?
Like coffee, for example, a lot of people drink coffee and they
think they're gonna go on a buzz I want to wake up. I need
to get my energy up, so I have a cup of coffee. Is
that counterintuitive? No, No, it's it's because of the caffeine. Now,
caffeine is naturally found and you know about sixty different plants, but it's
you know, it's concentrated in coffee, and people will drink coffee because it's
a stimulant to the brain. But an interesting study has come out recently regarding
taking a power nap and having a cup of coffee at the same time.
A lot of people will take a little coffee to get through the afternoon,
and if it's convenient for them to have a power nap. There is this
chemical, a denison that blocks caffeine from doing its job, and a power
nap helps to reduce the adenisen that's in the brain. So if you took
the coffee at the same time you had a fifteen twenty minute power nap,
or even a ten minute power nap, which I do every afternoon, a
Dennison levels drop and the effect of the caffeine is much stronger for the afternoon
to keep you awake. If you have a little nap at the same time
you take the caffeine. Now, that sounds counterintuitive, but there's science behind
it. Really, all right, all right, there it is. You
