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. Discussing the issues of the day, the people that folks
are talking about good events. For example, what happened in Pennsylvania at a
taco bell mother forever thankful to this person Richborough, Pennsylvania, where we are
heard every day. This taco bell manager helped to save her baby's life.
Natash along stopping by the taco bell for some food. This is in Bucks
County, which is really close to Philadelphia. Ransom Errands with her young son
Miles. Good name for a youngster eleven weeks old. He began struggling to
breathe. Lady says she ran out of the car, ran around, opened
the car door, and she was terrified. Obviously, she pulled him out,
turned the baby turned completely blue, obviously not getting oxygen. Yeah,
seem lifeless. Wow, And this woman just didn't know what to do.
Oh she said, she like just completely blacked out. Fortunately, the manager
who was there working trying to throws off the headphones. No CPR runs outside.
Yeah, and Therefore, the baby is alive today and will live to
fight another day. So anyway, it's the taco bell that he said.
When her children were a little her daughter had a similar incident, so she
knew what the feeling was, she knew what the look was, so she
kept the mother calm, and she stayed calm, although she was thinking,
my god, this baby's not going to breathe again. But then Miles finally
started to breathe and he's okay. You know, the trouble with these things
at this age, you don't really know what causes him. You don't know
what it's like, sudden infant death syndrome. You don't really know what it
is that causes the irregularity. But the bottom line is the taco bell lady
saved this lady's son. So there you go. Hooray, hooray, hooray.
And and also stresses the importance of knowing CPR. Everybody should take a
class. No CPR know the hiliganever, because you just never know, never
know when you may be in a situation where somebody may need it. Yep,
for sure. All right, So you remember the situation up in Maine,
remember that big shootout that occurred a couple of months ago. Eighteen people
were killed, thirteen were injured, and the gun was in the hands of
somebody who was mentally deranged. So this week the legislature in Maine approved sweeping
gun safety legislation. This is anathema to the gun lovers, but it isn't
anything more than what everybody should have included in every state when it comes to
private gun sales, background checks, waiting periods. What's the big hurry criminalizing
gun sales to people who shouldn't have them, who are prohibited from having them.
So this was it was a late last fall, if I remember correctly.
So the executive director of the main gun safety coalition, a lady named
Nicole Palmer. I think they were the ones responsible kind of for crafting the
wording in the bill, and then they got it to the governor, and
the governor got it through the system. The governor says it'll strengthen the state's
Yellow Flag law, boosting background checks for private gun sales, make it a
crime to sell a gun to somebody who's prohibited from having it, so both
sides then go to jail when there's something like that. And the bill also
will fund violence prevention initiatives that they have. Maine's a pretty conservative state.
Of all of the states in New England, I would say New Hampshire and
Maine by far. Maybe New Hampshire a little bit more, but Maine as
well. Vermont's pretty liberal, Massachusetts very liberal. Connecticut. Yeah, probably
in the same bucket of fish as Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Well, people
say, why would you care, because there's nobody, not enough people there
to matter. But no, that's not true. Providence of big city.
Well, it's something. The thing. The philosophy in New England has been
to give the benefit of the doubt to the people who ought not to have
the benefit of the doubt more often than not. Maybe that's not Maybe that's
why I don't the liberal. That's not the right word for it. But
I struggled sometimes to come up with something that is better than liberal, because
liberal's been abused, like the word conservative has been completely abused by the people
who use it and think they know what it means, but they don't have
a clue because it doesn't mean anything. It doesn't mean anything close to what
they think it makes it means. So anyway, So the good news I
guess if you're into that. It's bad news for people who are shooters and
ought not to have guns, but it's good news for people who want to
protect themselves. This was in Lewiston, I think, wasn't it Lewiston,
Maine? This thing took place, if I'm not mistaken. Yeah, there's
a lot of in Lewiston. There's a big population of people who've come from
Somalia. Why I've said this in a number of times, I don't understand
why they want to go to Lewiston, Maine. But it goes like Dearborn,
Michigan, like a lot of places around the country where people who are
immigrants come in and settle groups of them and then it becomes a big part.
I think at Deerborn's like eighty thousand Muslims who live in that town now,
which is I don't know if it's still is a car they have the
car plants there. I know a lot of them are still in the Detroit
area, but I'm not sure about Deerborn anyway. The uh, that's just
the you got to do something to prevent future attacks. That's what you got
to do. And it isn't that we want people not to have guns.
But let's be let's be clear about this. Let's be very clear. There
are people, and it happens, it seems the crimes that take place over
and over and over again are people who have no business having a gun in
the first place. You can say, well, they could kill somebody with
a knife. Yeah, okay, but somebody may be with a gun who's
supposed to have a gun. Can if they have the gun when the guy
is somebody's attacking them. Yeah, civilian heroes who lawfully have a weapon and
all of that. But with guns safety, it's not just about acquiring the
weapon. There should be a continued thing of how to properly store it,
how to keep it safe. Because most of these mass shootings with younger people
or in schools, young meth that was a legally obtained weapon, just not
by them. Yeah, and so on and on the story goes. Let's
see where it goes. Okay, fifty pounds of meth. This is lovely
found in an ice chest full of fish and discovered by customs routine screening of
a vehicle trying to cross from Mexico. There we go, Yeah, yeah,
you should we just close the border down, just you know, if
you want to go over to Mexico from America to swim. Is this something
that happens normally? Like what made them think we better check inside the fish?
Maybe a dog? Maybe a dog? Have dogs down there? Not
probably enough of them anyway, So they encountered this thirty four year old guy
who was driving a sedan through the Secure Electronic Network for Travelers Rapid Inspection that's
called the Sentry government and their phraseology. So anyway, the California authorities,
the Border Patrol authorities inspected twice. The vehicle was just kind of a casual
thing. It looks like they were looking around. They used their imaging system
to screen the vehicle and they sow irregularities in the ice chest. That's kind
of like it's the same stuff the TSA uses to check your bag out.
They can tell if there's something in there that's liquid versus let's say you're bringing
I've done this, you bring back some jam or jelly or you know something
like that, somethings of food, some vitamins, and sometimes it gives a
false reading so they check it out. But it can tell the difference between
let's say those gummies you know that you buy now for vitamins and the liquid
that might be in a bottle of water or something else that they won't allow.
So anyway, that's what they use, and that's why they caught this
guy. And so what happens to him? Now? Do we have a
is there? What's the procedure after they find something like this fentanyl meth?
You know those sorts of things. Those people should be arrested immediately and put
in jail. Take a long time to try them because they need to sit
in jail way too much of that stuff. This program is brought to you,

There's some news on the NASA website today about the planet Pluto, which
has been in and out of the grace of our planetary the list of planetary
planetary engagement, shall we say planetary those little things that revolve around that big
thing called the Sun. This is how the universe is constructed. Again,
there are people who try to explain it, but it's really pretty much unexplainable.
That doesn't mean that it's not interesting to talk about or to see.
So apparently there's been some the web telescope when it went by Pluto took some
pictures that have been studied for the past few months months, and now the
prevailing thinking is that Pluto actually started to live as a planet after it collided
with a big planetary body about the size of Switzerland, maybe a little larger
so this asteroid collides with the forming planet early in the planet's history, kind
of like what happened to the Earth and our moon. Our moon came from
a collision of a planetary body and the big chunk went out into the the
ethos, if you will, and the landed about three hundred thousand miles away
from the Earth and kept going around. Because the gravity of the Earth is
really fascinating as you look into this stuff, and it's hard for us to
believe it because it's so long ago, so far away, but it is
insightful in the sense that we learn more when we see this about our planetary
system and what's revolving around the Sun. So this apparently and they even figured
out that I use the term heart, but they even figured out that the
thing that he Pluto look like a heart. And so there are a lot
of different to spacecraft. The first pictures came back in twenty fifteen from the
New Horizon spacecraft Jay, and now as they've looked at it, other pictures
from other the satellites, I mean the cameras that were on the web telescope.
So anyway, the astronomer who discovered Pluto in nineteen thirty was a guy
named Clive Tomba, and he's the one who started talking about what he thought
happened. And for a long time people were looking at the shape of this
part and you can see in the picture. I don't know if you're looking
at the picture or not, but you can see the imprint looks like a
heart and it's really pretty. It's just fascinating. Yeah, did you see
the picture? Looks like point are we? Is it? Pluto is in
fact a planet, because yes, it is a planet. Yeah, Pluto
is a planet. So anyway, this area was seven hundred and forty five
miles by twelve hundred and forty two miles, about a quarter of the size
of the United States. It landed smashed into Pluto and helped to create this
thing. Pluto's mostly nitrogen and you know ice because it's how far out is
it's like nine million miles away, actually more than that. Of being facetious,
but it's it looks like a round planet. It's all red except for
where that thing hit the side of Pluto, which looks like a white heart.
That's what it looks like. And so splat, it went splat onto
the surface of Pluto. And there you go, another one of these killing
sprees. Not that I really want to, but this is important about the
Idaho shootings. Lawyers for the guy who did it, Brian Koberger, he
took a knife. This wasn't about guns. This was a knife to these
four Idaho college students. This goes back about a year and a half ago.
Right. The lawyers are going to use analysis of a cell phone tower
data to show that he was not at home when the killings took place.
This kid was a PhD student at in Idaho. He was charged with the
murders, and it challenged the prosecutor's case. This looks like a law and
order a television show giving analysis of the cell phone tower data. You know
how often they go, all right, let's follow this out, and then
we wonder, like, because of watching those is thisur red herring? Was
there an accomplice who have the cell phone to make it look like, yeah,
it wasn't there and yeah, yeah. Anyway, what the prosecutor says
is the coburger broke into an off campus home and stabbed the four students to
death for is there a reason? Though? That's the thing I didn't ever
see to a different. Yeah, he went to Washington State University. That's
where he was kicked out of. And so if it does turn out that
he is innocent, are still ruined? Yeah yeah, I mean, and
then these poor students that before there were I believe two other roommates who were
able to make it out alive. This is just then it starts back at
square. What was the motive? Deserve justice? What the what did the
police say was the motive for the killings? What's the motive? Is Alibi's
galore, But what's the motive? That's the thing was never clear to me.
I mean, I look at these things sometimes and I forget We're I
don't pay I don't like these stories, and I don't think that we that
we gain much by talking about it. But we do talk about it because
it's the stuff that's going on. And then I don't but I don't like
to talk about them, So I'm not going to talk about it anymore.
Here's a situation many of us may have encountered. A matter of fact,
a number of states around the country experiencing a nine to one to one outage
this week. Emergency call system service provider Lumen said a light pole installation done
by a third party was the reason was improperly installed. So customers in Nevada
South Dakota, Nebraska had an outage because of the improper installation on the This
is kind of weird. Don't you think the FEDS are investigating it? But
I mean, think about it, It just doesn't make a whole lot of
sense. Well, and what happened? Did anybody have a situation where they
really need a nine to one one and go to get to it? Have
we heard any of those stories? I don't know. I don't know.
I don't see that here as part of the situation. Is something to look
into, though, because that would make it a more important compelling story.
Speaking of compelling situation, in India, the largest terms of population country on
the planet, had democratic elections this week. One billion voters going to the
polls. They do it the right way because they vote over a six week
period, kind of like us trying to get people mail stuff in, but
you have to. I think you got to go vote. I'm not mistaken.
Their chamber, like our House of Representatives, is called Locke Sabha and
that's the lower house in India's parliament, and they're the ones that nominate the
prime minister as five hundred and forty three members. That's what people are voting
for. So the six week thing, which I find very interesting. Hindu
religion very important. It's one of the reasons that they have this spread.
And they also have a number of different parties. They don't just have two
like we do. They have an alliance of a group of parties. They
have a simple majority of two hundred and seventy two seats and the prime minister
who gets elected by this group stays in for five years. So they're big.
It's very interesting to follow the issues that are there. You know,
we have our issues here and the issues in India are inflation because they have
a higher inflation rate than we do here, and unemployment. Big problem over
there because the population is too much. There's too many people and the planet
has too many people on it. Now we have too many people in our
country. You can't manage them. Look at all of the trouble that we
have, mostly because the country is too big. All right, Let's see
what else is going on in that region of the world. Indonesians leaving their
homes because the volcano that has been a problem there. There have been five
larger eruptions that looks like this week. According to the Center for a Volcanology
and Geological Disaster, crater is spewing gray smoke and then you know what comes
out of yeah, right, So this is a tough place to be more
or less the same area as Little South in the Indian Ocean, south of
the country of India. The voluntary the Volcanology Center, there's risks from eruption
and then it could volcano could collapse into the sea and that's why you'd have
a tsunami. So look out below for that. I don't know there are
too many people traveling over there, but it's interesting to know what's going on
in other parts of the world. I think there's always something so special about
getting the gift of Omaha Steaks. I know that it's one of my favorite

mcchreidler, Thomas Kreidler, Tommy and the boy. I like Tom and he
likes me. Okay, listen, why not So? Tom is a co
host with Leslie Sigritty, the money paid home improvement radio program. I heard
in a lot of the same stations to carry this program, So we focus
on Friday because it is Okay, it's the weekend. We're gonna do a
lot of home improvement stuff. The weather's getting better. So one of our
listeners, a guy named Clayton, wants to know whether or not there are
any new paint and primer products like paint and primer in one that will cover
dark paneling, or is he still stuck with having to do it twice.
I think we need an attitude adjustment here. Doug may be right. Primer
is not your enemy. Primer is your friend. Primer has all the qualities
that makes a paint job stick and stay around for a long long time and
not peel and get disgusting and paint primer products in one where we Steemular advertised
the fact that yeah, you could just put on one coat of the stuff
and you'll be good to go. I've had very bad luck with those.
I don't believe in them. I don't think they work as well as we
would hope, or they would sort of be would be suggested that they work.
I think you're always better off with a separate primer code. And with
respect to priming over something that's dark, you certainly contint the primer to the
color that you want it to be. So if it's going to be light,
you don't need a tint. But if you're going to go to a
different color. You could tint, but you definitely should prime separately. And
with paneling, I would say probably in acrylic primer would work well. So
kills been one of those good quality primers is what you need. Acrylic means
what translate the term meaning or the water based? Water based? Okay,
all right, so we have the money Pit podcast that is at your service.
I'm trying to listeners now, it's also at Tom's his service. He's
the one who puts all this stuff together. And so there are if you
go to money pit dot com Forward Slash podcast, you can brush up on
other tips. As far as painting is concerned, people are getting to that
because the weather's better. Houses will dry out. So what's the Let's say
there's a big rainstorm, right and the house is wet and the places where
it's chipping the wood itself is wet. How long what's the ideal amount of
time for sunshine to be able to fix the situation so you can paint and
have the paint stick. Yeah, you definitely don't want to paint over wet
surfaces. And if it's like say, see the siding or something that's going
to be absorbit. If you got to you gotta work those dry days.
You got to give it a good one to two days of sunshine to really
dry out, or you're going to be one sad painter because the paint's not
gonna work. And so if you try to paint when it's too damp,
the paint doesn't absorb, it sits on top. Plus it mixes with the
water. So not a good idea. And you know that just goes to
show you the prep in all of its forms, including make sure you have
drive surfaces. It's really the most important thing. You know. We've been
working a lot. I've been working a lot personally on a new kitchen,
on a new kitchen. Here's my new kitchen, nineteen sixty cabinet, solid
bird plywood. I met Strong Strong, I found this old house I built,
I bought. I actually found the original bill for the carpenter that built
these cabins. Yeah yeah, it was about fifteen hundred bucks. And this
is a big kitchen. It's unbelievable. Yeah. I remember your kitchen.
Yeah yeah. So anyway, we felt that, you know, when I
when I went into your kitchen, it felt like it was an old farmhouse.
It was warm and inviting. That's what I've never thought about it that
way, but now that you bring it up, that's what it felt like
to me when I was in the But the cabins were in good shape,
they just needed they just needed to redo. So so I've been working on
a repainting. We pulled the doors off, the drawers out, all the
hardware out. We deglossed them, which is a way of removing any old
polishes or finishes, so taking the shine off. And then we used a
high bond primer, which is a special type of primer again water base that
is designed for very smooth surfaces and it assures the paint's going to stick.
So that prep the selection of prime are very very important. All right,
we got a minute left. I want to go to the money pit dot
com forward slash newsletter for a tip on how to take wood outfit rotten and
replace it so you can paint it. You know, how do you do
that? What do you do? So? You want to think of this
as sort of like fill in a cavity. You want to pull out all
of the loose, deteriorated wood and then you're going to use a patching compound
underneath that. There's a number of different ones that are out there, but
basically you're going to fill in that decayed area. And I use these that
are two parts A and to B mixed together like a putty and hardens within
a few hours. And when it does, it can you can cut it
like wood, or drill it like wood and sand it like wood, or
shape it so it works very well. Cool, all right, money pit
