00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,400
The next Stefan Good Day download with
Doug and Jay Kirshner is made possible in

2
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:08,039
part by Keltren, which is the
safe way for you to lose weight and

3
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:12,359
keep it off, and also by
Previlegent keeping your brain healthy. It is

4
00:00:12,359 --> 00:00:18,239
the Good Day Program celebrating Thursday.
Thursday, the eleventh of January. It's

5
00:00:18,559 --> 00:00:21,199
a good day. Yesterday was a
good day, Tomorrow will be a good

6
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:25,399
day. Today is a better day. Depending on what is going on in

7
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:30,079
your life. I can I could
be the king of the world and say

8
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:36,039
I proclaim today to be a good
day. It's a nice day. It's

9
00:00:36,119 --> 00:00:41,840
going to be a fabulous day.
Okay. So Jay Kershner is here,

10
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:48,399
Doug Stephen is here, and I
want to look through the website of the

11
00:00:48,439 --> 00:00:54,640
Glass Door. They've released their annual
list of the best places to work in

12
00:00:54,679 --> 00:00:59,840
these here United States, and this
is based on employee reviews and rankings.

13
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:06,079
So the future of work, like
I'm saying, today's a good day,

14
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:11,439
Today is the day that we have
the future of work in our focus.

15
00:01:11,519 --> 00:01:18,040
Workers are holding their pens. Glass
Store has written quote, employees want to

16
00:01:18,079 --> 00:01:25,719
work for companies that prioritize leadership,
transparency, flexibility, and growth. So

17
00:01:26,239 --> 00:01:29,799
yeah, doesn't it. Yeah,
it sounds like it ought to be the

18
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:36,239
right thing to focus on. The
list provides that leading employers are taking note

19
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:42,239
and pivoting to meet these particular needs, and the needs are changing of the

20
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:48,840
employees all the time. So there's
a big consulting group called Bain in company

21
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:53,280
that is on to I never heard
of them. I don't think I've ever

22
00:01:53,319 --> 00:01:59,200
heard of them. There's an investment
company called Bain. I wonder if this

23
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:05,519
is the same one. This is
the one that leads the larger organizations in

24
00:02:05,599 --> 00:02:13,639
the tech side. Navidia is number
one, and in the software company business

25
00:02:14,039 --> 00:02:19,240
service, now is there? So
I don't know any of those companies,

26
00:02:19,759 --> 00:02:23,759
right, do you any ring a
bell with you? No? None of

27
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:27,159
them? Do I know? Nvidia
makes like computer parts, you know,

28
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,520
graphics cards and all stuff like that. Yeah, well, it's interesting.

29
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:35,879
I think Bain is an investment company. It's also what you would expect.

30
00:02:35,879 --> 00:02:43,759
I suppose that tech is in the
spotlight, right because they're they That's where

31
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,599
people who come out of school seem
to be interested, even if they don't

32
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:52,400
know anything about it, they seem
to be so many kids of the next

33
00:02:52,439 --> 00:02:57,800
generation have spent their summers going to
coding camps and all of that stuff.

34
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:04,639
Yeah right, we also have the
polar vortex back again this year. Isn't

35
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:08,479
that sweet? Nice to know that
the polar vortex, whatever it was,

36
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:15,960
and however it was concocted. It's
the big storm stuff that comes down from

37
00:03:15,039 --> 00:03:20,560
Canada, our friends. You'd think
if these Canadians were that friendly that they

38
00:03:20,599 --> 00:03:24,400
wouldn't send us down this glucky weather. Right, maybe they aren't such good

39
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:29,520
friends after all. Wow, they're
the best. They're like, here's snow

40
00:03:29,719 --> 00:03:35,879
for you, snow when rain,
horrible weather. Hello, it's Christmas.

41
00:03:36,159 --> 00:03:39,080
No, it's not anymore. It's
New Year's No, not anymore. It's

42
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:46,159
it is January, and we'll have
February, we'll have March, and then

43
00:03:46,199 --> 00:03:50,039
we'll have a spring. All right. That's kind of the way it works.

44
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:53,360
That's the way it goes. So
looking at some of the weather things

45
00:03:53,439 --> 00:04:01,639
around the country, looking at forecasts
and stuff, and Okay, maybe I'm

46
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:08,159
becoming repetitive because I don't buy into
all of the global warming stuff and the

47
00:04:08,199 --> 00:04:13,840
climate change in terms of the fact
that it might be that if we buy

48
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:18,040
an electric car, or if we
make electric school buses, or if we

49
00:04:18,399 --> 00:04:23,639
come up with an electric truck somehow
that'll fix it. It doesn't clean it

50
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,720
up a little, Yeah, of
course it does. Yeah, But is

51
00:04:26,759 --> 00:04:30,120
it worth the price of admission right
now? It may seem to be because

52
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:34,319
you get a lot of tax credits
for doing it. Seven eight years from

53
00:04:34,319 --> 00:04:39,720
now, after he battery's gone,
let's talk about it. Then I'll still

54
00:04:39,759 --> 00:04:43,279
be here. Jay will be here, so you can have our attention if

55
00:04:43,319 --> 00:04:46,199
you'd like at that time. You
know what else will still be going on

56
00:04:46,319 --> 00:04:50,800
seven years from now The sale of
Girls Scout cookies, Yeah, will be.

57
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:59,240
They start today this week runs through
the first of April. Very highly

58
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,399
anticipated year. I always buy a
bunch of spent about one hundred bucks every

59
00:05:02,439 --> 00:05:12,439
year buying thin mints, and some
always are good, especially when uh huh.

60
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:19,759
So the National Girl Scout Organization telling
sellers and buyers to rally around the

61
00:05:19,759 --> 00:05:27,120
theme Unbox the Future. It's interesting. I'm looking at the press release now

62
00:05:27,519 --> 00:05:33,720
from the Girl Scouts. The theme
quote aims to remove social barriers that keep

63
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:40,680
girls boxed up. Hmmm, So
when you buy Girl Scout cookies, you're

64
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:45,720
buying more than cookies. Every package
of Girl Scout cookies. So they say,

65
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:50,920
puts girls one step closer are making
real changes in their own future and

66
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:58,279
helping the world. That's interesting.
Girls break expectations through the power of the

67
00:05:58,519 --> 00:06:04,000
cookie program. They open a host
of possibilities beyond the box. So what's

68
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:09,000
in the box? There are all
kinds. If you go to Girl Scouts

69
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:14,560
website, you can find where they
are selling Girl Scout cookies near you.

70
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:18,439
A lot of supermarkets now have them
and next week. I don't believe they're

71
00:06:18,439 --> 00:06:21,560
not allowed to a door anymore like
they used to once upon a time.

72
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:26,319
Noll Is it because that's dangerous?
Is that the state of the world that

73
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,480
we're in, it's dangerous to do
this. Yeah, I think it's multiple

74
00:06:29,519 --> 00:06:35,680
reasons. One the whole soliciting thing
and dangerous difficult to send them off on

75
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:40,160
their own. So now they just
get the full groups together and set up

76
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:45,600
shop outside different businesses, right.
Well, they at the end around where

77
00:06:45,639 --> 00:06:48,439
I am. Sometimes they go into
a neighborhood set up at the end of

78
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:53,319
a driveway, depending what the weather's
like, and four or five of them

79
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:57,439
be there, and you know,
they'll all have little horns and they'll try

80
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:01,800
to rest your Girls Scout cookies.
Yeah, maybe not so much like that,

81
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:08,560
but close enough. So by your
Girl Scout cookies and next month you're

82
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:12,199
can order them online if you like
whichever and they'll send them to you.

83
00:07:12,439 --> 00:07:20,120
But important to Girls Scout cookie time. Here's the story of a Texas community,

84
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:29,600
small community for the homeless as two
thousand neighbors and they're trying to help

85
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,279
in Austin, Texas, the homeless. It's Travis County. Actually, it's

86
00:07:32,319 --> 00:07:36,959
a big movement across the county.
Beyond the zoning laws of the city.

87
00:07:38,839 --> 00:07:45,079
This village of tiny homes has been
helping to ease the homeless problem in Austin

88
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:46,319
and it's been going on, I
guess for a number of years. Jay.

89
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:56,240
The last round of philanthropic fundraising is
going to help them become one of

90
00:07:56,279 --> 00:08:01,360
the largest communities of their kind anywhere
in our country. Things started in twenty

91
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:07,680
nineteen called Community First Village opened up
to renters on the outskirts of Austin.

92
00:08:09,439 --> 00:08:13,839
Their mission, they said, was
to exclusively house and accommodate formerly homeless people

93
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,279
so they can have the freedom and
security to heal from the years they spent

94
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:26,279
living out on the street. So
they have facilities also for RVs and micro

95
00:08:26,439 --> 00:08:35,480
houses. The village also has community
gardens, bee hives, workspaces, playgrounds,

96
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:41,200
recreational areas, parks, kitchens,
and other group facilities. All you

97
00:08:41,279 --> 00:08:45,879
have to do is pay what you
can between two hundred and four hundred and

98
00:08:45,879 --> 00:08:50,840
thirty dollars a month, which they
can now afford because they have jobs and

99
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:56,879
the jobs are secured within the village. So the village provides you with jobs

100
00:08:56,360 --> 00:09:01,879
and provides you with a place for
mobile home home or whatever it is.

101
00:09:01,919 --> 00:09:09,440
This village was created by the Mobile
Loaves and Fishes charity through the community Space.

102
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:16,919
They have two hundred formerly homeless residents. Organization began constructing additional facilities late

103
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:22,039
last year and so when they're done
in the village will be able to accommodate

104
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:31,480
five hundred people forty percent of the
Austin chronically homeless. Let's see a couple

105
00:09:31,519 --> 00:09:35,320
of years ago, I'm looking at
the chronology here, the mastermind behind the

106
00:09:35,399 --> 00:09:43,679
charity and the community First group broke
ground on a nearby site that take the

107
00:09:43,759 --> 00:09:50,159
number of tiny homes to two thousand. It's amazing. And by the way,

108
00:09:50,159 --> 00:09:54,759
this guy's name is Mark Hillberlink.
I think I pronounced his name Jay.

109
00:09:56,679 --> 00:10:00,480
The fact that there are this many
people there. Austin has become a

110
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:05,360
very popular community, especially for people
who living who want to get out of

111
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:11,159
Los Angeles or get out of California
and move to a place that's better.

112
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:13,799
I think a lot of them have
gone to Austin. I'm not sure that

113
00:10:13,799 --> 00:10:18,440
they've been able to handle the price
of real estate, and Austin has gone

114
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:22,759
zooming up because so many people want
to live there. And I guess said,

115
00:10:22,759 --> 00:10:24,799
I don't know that much about Austin. Frankly, I know that there's

116
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:30,000
a direct daily flight from Boston to
Austin, and I never saw that before.

117
00:10:30,039 --> 00:10:31,919
So there's got to be some reason
there's traffic there, would you say,

118
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:35,759
Yeah, I was saying, I'm
not super familiar with Austin either.

119
00:10:35,799 --> 00:10:39,519
I've never been there. No,
Yeah, yep, maybe it's a good

120
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:41,799
place to go. Just check it
out, see it. I wonder if

121
00:10:41,799 --> 00:10:46,000
this could be a model that could
be used elsewhere. There are two questions,

122
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:50,840
Yeah, I mean, in this
circumstance, is this a way to

123
00:10:50,879 --> 00:10:54,240
handle the problem or is there another
way to handle the problem or the problems

124
00:10:54,279 --> 00:10:58,879
of communities that have a lot of
homeless, like in Los Angeles County,

125
00:10:58,159 --> 00:11:03,279
there are seventy. I'm odd thousands
homeless. Imagine, I feel like that

126
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:05,960
homes in LA. I feel like
there's there's there's two. There's two different

127
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:11,559
homeless communities in La. One is
right where people just fell down and out

128
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:13,639
on their luck. There are others
where people just want to live off the

129
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,720
grid and this is their version of
doing so. They want to live this

130
00:11:16,799 --> 00:11:20,240
way, and it's so easy in
California to do it because there's so many

131
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:26,480
freebies that the taxpayers are convinced that
they ought to do, and so that's

132
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:31,480
what they do. I don't know. I have mixed feelings about the whole

133
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:35,879
thing, but I think this is
a laudable effort to help people who may

134
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:41,120
not be able to help themselves.
So yeah, maybe it is a good

135
00:11:41,159 --> 00:11:43,960
model for you know, every area
of the country is different, has different

136
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,320
needs, different ways of dealing with
things. So maybe this works there,

137
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:52,480
and maybe in your area there's another
way of dealing with it, but at

138
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:58,840
least dealing with it is important.
I think for sure, time is to

139
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:03,399
do into some of the trending items, the gossipy items from social media,

140
00:12:03,639 --> 00:12:09,879
and jay I think there's probably nothing
more. It's not salacious, it's just

141
00:12:11,399 --> 00:12:16,679
something that people have focused on since
the Golden Globe Sit again Doug with a

142
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:24,960
Bee Golden Globes. Selena Gomez then
has revealed what she really told Taylor's Swift

143
00:12:24,399 --> 00:12:30,039
at the Golden Globes. And because
this video is everywhere, you know what,

144
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:35,240
it's our job to unwrap it all. Didn't we have a story last

145
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:41,360
week Jay about Selena Gomez stopping her
singing and focusing on action. Oh yes,

146
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:43,320
yeah, she thinks that she has
maybe one more album in her But

147
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:48,399
I feel like that's just there's an
ellipsison enough for now, because you never

148
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:50,200
know, you can take a break, to a hiatus and then right,

149
00:12:50,399 --> 00:12:54,240
yeah, right, trying to get
more. Well, as we all know,

150
00:12:54,360 --> 00:13:00,759
the Internet loves loves loves loves of
a good lip reading theory. So

151
00:13:00,879 --> 00:13:05,120
when you pair that with two of
the biggest stars around these days, Selena

152
00:13:05,159 --> 00:13:11,960
Gomez and Taylor Swift, Wow,
instant viral moment. So after the Golden

153
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:18,080
Globes on Sunday, a video of
Gomez gossiping with Swift went viral. The

154
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:24,799
question is, did Gomez really tell
her that Kylie Jenner wouldn't let her take

155
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:28,960
a picture with Timothy Chalomeze that he
but not his name. I think it

156
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,600
is right, yes, and anxious
lines want to know was that the case,

157
00:13:31,639 --> 00:13:35,879
Doug? Yeah, well this has
been what how many days now?

158
00:13:35,919 --> 00:13:43,480
Has been three? Four days with
all this kind of speculation, So the

159
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:50,080
the lip reading experts went to work, and I guess there was some also

160
00:13:50,159 --> 00:13:56,519
investigation with TMZ and E and all
these other these groups of people that have

161
00:13:56,600 --> 00:14:01,480
nothing else to do. Extra extra. So the singer claims that she was

162
00:14:01,519 --> 00:14:05,960
gossiping about friends, not just she
didn't say she didn't talk about Shallaman Jenner,

163
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:11,600
but there are other things that are
nobody else's business. Yes, she

164
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:15,639
says she was talking about two of
her friends that hooked up with each other.

165
00:14:16,519 --> 00:14:20,240
Yeah, and she added, not
that many someone's business. No,

166
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:24,679
but who cares. She's right,
it's not anybody's business. Yeah. Well,

167
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:28,559
listen, they all like to make
them sounds like all these silly shows

168
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:37,399
right inside edition and and what's an
extra and they all claim they all act

169
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:41,559
like these silly little reporters, like
they're the best friends of all this ours.

170
00:14:41,559 --> 00:14:46,360
Hey, it's great to see you
again, Taylor. Taylor looks at

171
00:14:46,399 --> 00:14:48,919
whoever it is, says, uh, yeah, and then who are you?

172
00:14:50,399 --> 00:14:54,000
Oh? We all know those radio
people who have met a celebrity,

173
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,200
like a certain celebrity once and then
every year on their birthday, they regurgitate

174
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:58,960
that exact same photover social media and
they're like, hey, happy bird,

175
00:15:00,279 --> 00:15:03,240
so and so love y'all. I
hope you're having it as if they're like

176
00:15:03,279 --> 00:15:11,480
being refs. BFF stands for a
best foolish fitting or whatever. Anyway,

177
00:15:11,759 --> 00:15:15,320
it is kind of silly and it's
laughable, but it's also enjoyable to act

178
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:18,679
about here right. I am Robert
Strickler. My wife Joyce and I have

179
00:15:18,759 --> 00:15:24,600
been married for fifty three years.
Certainly one of the really important things in

180
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:28,919
my life are our children and our
grandchildren. I am essentially a writer.

181
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:35,440
I've been involved in communications in the
media. I've been an avid fly fisherman

182
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:39,440
for at least forty or more years. I've been taking Previagen on a regular

183
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:45,159
basis for at least eight years.
For me, the greatest benefit over the

184
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:50,600
years has been that Prevagen seems to
help me recall things and also think more

185
00:15:50,639 --> 00:15:54,279
clearly, have a crisper ability to
remember and think through things. And I

186
00:15:54,840 --> 00:16:03,000
enthusiastically recommend Previagen. It has helped
me an awful lot provigen, healthier brain

187
00:16:03,159 --> 00:16:07,600
and better life. Robert Strickler is
a content contributor for Proviogen and real User

188
00:16:07,759 --> 00:16:11,720
based on a clinical study of subgroups
of individuals who are cognitively normal or mildly

00:16:11,759 --> 00:16:14,799
impaired. This product is not intended
to diagnose, treat, cure, or

thinking about the blessings that you have in

191
00:16:19,399 --> 00:16:26,320
your life, and the blessings are
multiplied, I think Jay by understanding where

192
00:16:26,399 --> 00:16:30,720
we are as far as our age
is concerned. So think about how old

193
00:16:30,759 --> 00:16:34,080
you are and how many blessings you've
had. In other words, the good

194
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:40,240
in your life over these years has
been better than the bad because we're all

195
00:16:40,279 --> 00:16:45,039
going to experience good and bad.
And then there are those who think life

196
00:16:45,159 --> 00:16:51,240
is worth living until it isn't.
I guess that's probably a good way of

197
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:53,240
looking at it. So how do
you think you'll live to be? How

198
00:16:53,240 --> 00:17:00,360
many years do you have left?
What do you want to experience? Well,

199
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:04,359
what do you want to have?
What do you want to do before

200
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:07,400
you die? I'm not sure this
is not morbid. This is about getting

201
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:14,319
the most out of life, and
if you haven't or aren't experiencing the very

202
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:18,799
best that you think or you even
dream about. Why not? Why what

203
00:17:18,839 --> 00:17:23,200
are you waiting for? There's no
better time than the present? Right?

204
00:17:23,319 --> 00:17:26,319
They always well, there's always the
future, there's always tomorrow. No,

205
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:33,759
there's not, there's not always X
y Z. Do it now? Yeah,

206
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:37,720
why not? Do it? Do
it? Do it? Do it,

207
00:17:37,759 --> 00:17:41,880
and do it if you please.
A couple of troubling things here that

208
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:47,839
I want to address. There's a
story from a town in Illinois, Harvey,

209
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:52,519
Illinois, where people were living in
an apartment that was condemned apartment building.

210
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:59,279
And there's some shocking video jay that's
circulating, most of it's on social

211
00:17:59,319 --> 00:18:04,559
media, showing some of the people
living in this apartment building being boarded in.

212
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:11,640
The building was condemned. They were
told they were supposed to move out,

213
00:18:11,599 --> 00:18:18,880
they didn't move out, so and
nobody seems to know how this happened,

214
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:22,000
at least to this point. Some
of the units in the building unoccupied.

215
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:26,960
But for example, in one of
the units was a mother and her

216
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:33,200
two children. They three year old. Yeah, so the company that was

217
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:37,119
supposed to tear the building down boarded
up all the windows knowing there were people

218
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:41,480
in there. And then some people
in the community rip the boards down.

219
00:18:41,799 --> 00:18:45,920
Well, yeah, and the people
who had the contractors who were putting the

220
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,839
boards up, once they realized that
they were being filmed and people were going

221
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:52,759
up to the boarded up units and
you could hear people inside, they started

222
00:18:52,799 --> 00:18:55,559
taking them down. So then they
were boarding up ones and they left the

223
00:18:55,599 --> 00:18:59,640
ones boarded that they knew nobody was
in, and they removed the boarding from

224
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:03,799
any units that had their tenants and
instell. Yeah, and then there was

225
00:19:03,839 --> 00:19:07,200
a lot of finger pointing where the
business owners were like this, the building

226
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:11,240
owners were like this didn't even happen, and then changing it too. Well,

227
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:15,519
it wasn't our fault. And you
go through the building and if there

228
00:19:15,519 --> 00:19:18,279
are people in there before you're going
to tear it down, you make sure

229
00:19:18,279 --> 00:19:22,759
they're out. You know, just
this guy who owns these billings is there's

230
00:19:22,799 --> 00:19:26,640
got to be a jerkil Burger factor
in here someplace. Although you know,

231
00:19:26,759 --> 00:19:32,119
sometimes we all know there are people
who would refuse, under any circumstances to

232
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:36,480
move from their home for any number
of reasons. Well, and sometimes people

233
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:40,759
don't have anywhere to go. This
building was deemed uninhabitable by quote unquote a

234
00:19:40,759 --> 00:19:47,039
professional. It was certified that this
place was uninhabitable. There was an issue

235
00:19:47,079 --> 00:19:51,359
with like a front stair well or
staircase or something. But what happens in

236
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:55,039
situations like this where you are paying
your rent, you are keeping up with

237
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:57,480
everything. It's not like you were
being evicted because of lapse of payment.

238
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:04,160
But something happens where it's deemed uninhabitable
and then it's like, well, there's

239
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:07,200
no follow up from the landlords,
there's no compensation, you don't get your

240
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:10,680
money back. You're just kind of
told we'll go somewhere else. So what

241
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:14,759
if that people can't afford to just
go somewhere else. In the sense of

242
00:20:14,799 --> 00:20:18,279
the people the tenants who stayed there, they probably had nowhere else to go.

243
00:20:18,319 --> 00:20:21,680
It wasn't just a being difficult for
the sake of being difficult, or

244
00:20:21,839 --> 00:20:25,960
this is my well, my home. Sometimes it is, sometimes it's not.

245
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:30,880
Yeah, there are different circumstances with
each of the experiences here. The

246
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:34,839
building should not have been well from
what I can gather here, collapse stairwell,

247
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:40,359
things like that. My guess,
however, is that somebody bought this

248
00:20:40,519 --> 00:20:45,480
building to tear it down to rebuild
something new. This was about. This

249
00:20:45,559 --> 00:20:48,599
is what happens in a lot of
these circumstances where a new landlord comes in

250
00:20:49,039 --> 00:20:52,079
and they want to tear the building
down, they want to put up a

251
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:56,119
new building, and the residents say
they have no other place to go.

252
00:20:56,559 --> 00:21:02,440
This is where I suppose community activism
comes in, and this is where good

253
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:07,359
government comes in. This is where
people of conscience come in. You find

254
00:21:07,799 --> 00:21:12,240
someplace else to put these people,
or figure out how to make the circumstances

255
00:21:12,519 --> 00:21:17,960
better. That's our You know,
there's probably in this group, because I've

256
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:22,359
seen this one hundred times if I've
seen it once in cities small and large

257
00:21:22,759 --> 00:21:26,720
around the country where people get evicted. Some people are squatters, some people

258
00:21:26,759 --> 00:21:30,160
have never paid any rent. Some
people have been there forever and they just

259
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:33,119
don't want to move, or they're
sick. Are There are all kinds of

260
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:37,440
reasons for this, Yes, but
take each individual circumstance, yeah, and

261
00:21:40,039 --> 00:21:45,160
address deal with each individual circumstance and
not sort of a cookie cutter thing.

262
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:52,960
But no matter what, that's not
a good situation. Here's another one elderly

263
00:21:53,039 --> 00:21:59,160
couple found dead in their South Carolina
home. The temperature in the home was

264
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:03,079
over one hundred to twin body degrees. Apparently these people that had trouble with

265
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:11,920
their furnace. They told police family
family members. This is Spartanburg, South

266
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:18,279
Carolina. The children hadn't heard from
their parents for three days. Police officer

267
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:23,559
goes into the house finds Joan Little
John and glen Wood Fowler, in their

268
00:22:23,599 --> 00:22:30,079
eighties, both dead in their bedroom. The paramedics try to get them know

269
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:34,000
they've been dead for over a day
and their body temperature was one hundred and

270
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:40,200
twenty degrees. So you can't live
if you have a fever and your body

271
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:44,160
temperature goes over one hundred and four
one hundred and five, you'll be done.

272
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:48,480
You be done. It doesn't your
body doesn't work at that temperature.

273
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:55,039
So said they were having issues.
So it was too cold, and a

274
00:22:55,039 --> 00:22:57,119
family member went over and helped,
and they got the pilot light lit.

275
00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:02,519
But then because it wasn't working,
it started not working in the other direction

276
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:06,799
and it made it just too hot. And I just the family and the

277
00:23:06,799 --> 00:23:11,319
friends that lost this elderly couple,
the elderly couple that went through this traumatic

278
00:23:11,079 --> 00:23:15,039
death, but also that family member
that went and helped. They're going to

279
00:23:15,079 --> 00:23:18,359
carry this with them for the rest
of their life. And it's not something

280
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:22,759
that was their faults. No,
it's not about faults so much. It's

281
00:23:22,759 --> 00:23:25,720
just one of those things. You
know. There are lots of different reasoning

282
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:30,880
and point fingers here in the area. But the impracticality of sometimes these things

283
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:38,960
I find it. What's troubling here
is that some people, and these people

284
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:45,559
are in their early mid eighties eighty
two and eighty four, I think they

285
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:52,000
either if they're not sophisticated enough or
conscious enough or aware enough to take care

286
00:23:52,039 --> 00:23:59,960
of themselves like this understanding how things
work. It's you know, the furnace,

287
00:24:00,079 --> 00:24:02,559
how does it work? You may
not know, but if it's not

288
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:06,319
working, you get somebody who knows
what they're doing to come look at it.

289
00:24:06,319 --> 00:24:08,799
You don't fiddle with it if you
don't know what you're doing. And

290
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:15,519
there's a certain amount of common sense
that's lacking in all ages of Americans.

291
00:24:15,519 --> 00:24:18,480
And this was a needless this was
this is this is as some people don't

292
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:22,240
think you dead because they can't.
Why don't they because they can't afford you

293
00:24:22,279 --> 00:24:27,160
know what that's wrong thinking. If
you can't afford it, you get somebody

294
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:32,759
who you can call somebody and haven't
come, and then they fix it.

295
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:34,640
And you say to them I'm sorry, I can't pay it today, but

296
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:38,240
I'll pay you ten dollars a week
or something. You know, there's always

297
00:24:38,279 --> 00:24:41,160
a way to make a deal.
It would be nice if people conducted their

298
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:45,079
business that way, but they don't. I think some do, some do,

299
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:48,799
some don't. You're right, some
don't. You're right about that.

300
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:52,839
Some don't. But I think I
give more credence to some people who are

301
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:56,599
a little more generous, or a
little more open, or a little more

302
00:24:56,640 --> 00:25:03,039
giving. I don't think the whole
world is old and frightful, but in

303
00:25:03,039 --> 00:25:07,359
this circumstance, again, what you
do is nothing you can do at this

304
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:10,759
point. Yeah, there was one
story. I can't remember if we talked

305
00:25:10,759 --> 00:25:12,799
about it last week or maybe you
guys talked about it this week, but

306
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:21,519
it was a plumber went over to
an elderly customer's home to do some fixing

307
00:25:21,559 --> 00:25:26,440
on something and learned that this person
was an end of life stage four cancer

308
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:32,400
and didn't charge them anything, and
then also told the company that, hey,

309
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:33,680
anytime they need something, we go
out, we fix it, and

310
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:37,680
you do not charge them at all. Like anything here moving forward, we're

311
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:42,880
not charging them. Yeah. I
don't remember talking about that, but that's

312
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:47,680
what I'm doing. That's what I'm
telling you. There are those people who

313
00:25:47,759 --> 00:25:52,599
will do that, but yeah,
that's just a good human being. That's

314
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:57,880
not Unfortunately that some people's business models. Not always, but they aren't all

315
00:26:00,319 --> 00:26:07,240
simon legree. Frankly, ninety three
percent of the guns found at airports by

316
00:26:07,279 --> 00:26:11,720
the TSA are loaded. This goes
hand in hand with another report that came

317
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:15,319
from the TSA about last year and
how many people were trying to get away

318
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:21,359
with carrying guns and knives on the
into the airport onto the planes. I

319
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:25,359
think I told you the story when
I went in through one of my many

320
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:29,599
passages over the last few weeks.
There's a sign out front, no guns

321
00:26:29,599 --> 00:26:33,039
allowed. So I said to the
tsagent, come on, does anybody still

322
00:26:33,079 --> 00:26:38,079
think that guns are allowed on planes? And think guys said last week somebody

323
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:44,519
tried to get through here with twelve
knives in the case. Yeah. I

324
00:26:44,559 --> 00:26:51,079
guess a total of six seven hundred
and thirty seven guns were discovered at TSA

325
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:55,680
checkpoints last year. Good god,
So it's great business time for Caldron.

326
00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:57,400
I would think the phones would be
ringing off the hook and people would be

327
00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:02,920

know, it'll be twenty five years this

observe things in terms of social media,

340
00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:00,559
some of the technology, the companies
that are involved. We do spend

341
00:28:00,799 --> 00:28:06,759
time on social media, celebrity news
and gossip. But this is a focus

342
00:28:06,839 --> 00:28:14,920
today on Amazon says they're cutting several
hundred positions across the Prime Video network and

343
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:19,720
at the MGM Studios unit. Last
month, they said that users would start

344
00:28:19,759 --> 00:28:25,839
seeing ads on movies and television shows
starting on January twenty nine. So then

345
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:30,559
what are you paying Amazon Prime prices
for if you're going to get ads?

346
00:28:30,599 --> 00:28:33,200
The whole idea is not to have
ads, right, Prime members who want

347
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:37,680
to keep their movies and TV shows
ad free, you have to now pay

348
00:28:37,759 --> 00:28:41,160
more two ninety nine more a month. I think that started this month too,

349
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:45,400
didn't it. Yeah, I believe
so it's starting at the end of

350
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:48,200
the month. Yes, it will
be starting soon. But my question is,

351
00:28:48,279 --> 00:28:51,640
especially when it comes to Amazon Prime. Amazon Prime is not like the

352
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:57,079
other streaming options where you pick whatever
type, whatever level you want for your

353
00:28:57,079 --> 00:29:00,920
account, whether it is the ads
or you don't get ads, or you

354
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:04,319
get minimal ads kind of stuff like
that. But with Amazon Prime, well

355
00:29:04,359 --> 00:29:12,079
they have that option. You you
also can rent or officially purchase quote unquote

356
00:29:12,079 --> 00:29:18,480
purchase things, so it's like an
additional fee for some of the stuff where

357
00:29:18,519 --> 00:29:22,640
it's not just included in the automatic
streaming. So if you are getting one

358
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:26,880
of those films that you have to
pay an additional fee towards does this will

359
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:33,119
those still show ads because then you're
paying yeah dollars, Yeah, I think

360
00:29:33,279 --> 00:29:37,440
yeah. But see, this is
a bad model. Was always aimed at

361
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:41,640
being a bad model. I remember
talking about this four or five years ago

362
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:47,039
when the prices started going up.
So many people are taking this streaming service

363
00:29:47,119 --> 00:29:49,519
or that streaming service. I know, I have three. I have Amazon

364
00:29:49,599 --> 00:30:00,559
Prime, I have Netflix and Figure
the other max Hulum plus the time you

365
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:03,119
add all of these up, if
you're going to take them all, they

366
00:30:03,119 --> 00:30:07,799
cost more than having a regular FiOS
cable TV set up in your house.

367
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:11,039
Now can you get depending on the
plan, you can get a lot of

368
00:30:11,119 --> 00:30:15,880
I have Stars, and you know
I have most of the I don't have

369
00:30:17,319 --> 00:30:22,799
Prime because not available really to do
that way. But what I'm suggesting here

370
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:26,880
is that this is something that sooner
or later, we'll catch up with itself.

371
00:30:27,279 --> 00:30:30,920
And people, really, wait a
minute, I'm paying more money probably

372
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:33,680
streaming devices, and I paid for
my regular cables. So what's the benefit,

373
00:30:34,079 --> 00:30:38,839
especially if you're going to pay by
you know, watching commercials. I'm

374
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:44,400
in the commercial business, so it
far be it from me to say commercials

375
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:48,279
are bad. They're a way of
paying for this service. That I provide

376
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:53,440
to people listening. And so the
same can be said for the television shows

377
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:57,119
that have commercials in them, or
the movies not as well, movies on

378
00:30:57,599 --> 00:31:03,799
a TV network that have commercials in
them. Yeah, expected, Yeah.

379
00:31:04,119 --> 00:31:11,839
So anyway, Amazon is now,
I believe, either the most it's the

380
00:31:11,839 --> 00:31:18,480
wealthiest or second most wealthy company in
the world. So people will say,

381
00:31:18,559 --> 00:31:21,119
oh, they've got so much money
over there, why don't they help out

382
00:31:21,119 --> 00:31:23,720
this section. Why do they have
to take money? But that's why they

383
00:31:23,759 --> 00:31:26,920
have so much money, because they're
taking ready because they're stepping back from others.

384
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:30,240
Yeah, they're boosting the investment in
areas with the most impact, and

385
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:33,799
they're stepping away from the others that
just don't have a lot of impacts anymore.

386
00:31:34,759 --> 00:31:40,160
So they have said that they would
distribute original films and TV shows like

387
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:45,319
Marvelous, Missus, Mizelle and others. They were going to take some of

388
00:31:45,319 --> 00:31:48,240
that content, but they have to
pay for it, so and now it

389
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:52,599
looks like you're going to have to
pay as well. Anyway, that's the

390
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:56,400
latest from that side of the world. Technologically speaking, The next step in
