1 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 Caldron, which is the safe way for you to lose weight and 3 00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:12,679 keep it off. Nothing is perfect. We learned that as we live our 4 00:00:12,759 --> 00:00:19,079 lives. Even though I think that we have since COVID, literally we've all 5 00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:24,280 done a lot of healing, and that's good. There are other things from 6 00:00:24,399 --> 00:00:28,280 which we could be healed. Or maybe you are being here, maybe something 7 00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:32,159 going on in your life that hasn't been pleasant and you've gotten over it. 8 00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:34,719 You've gotten through it. Now you're on the right side, the right side, 9 00:00:34,759 --> 00:00:38,640 the upside, on the other side of whatever it is. It may 10 00:00:38,679 --> 00:00:41,719 have been an issue for you, whether it was personal, I had to 11 00:00:41,759 --> 00:00:44,479 do with relationships, had to do with work, had to do with health, 12 00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:49,479 whatever it is. You can heal yourself in a manner of speaking, 13 00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:54,439 by having the right attitude. A lot of people I put healing and helping 14 00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,960 sort of in the same sentence, the same phraseology, Jay, I think 15 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:02,240 we're here to help, and we're also so here to heal. You wonder 16 00:01:02,359 --> 00:01:06,719 why a lot of people had this conversation with somebody yesterday about why we're here 17 00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:11,319 Why is Jay here? Why is James Collins here? Why is Doug Stephani 18 00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:15,280 here? Why are you here? Why? What are we supposed to do? 19 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:21,319 What are we gaining from the question is what? Why? Yeah? 20 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:26,120 Finding it much as anything else, finding your purpose. A lot of people 21 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:33,920 dedicate themselves to doing certain things, like there's the big movement that I chastise 22 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,359 because I think the organization of it is faulty. But I don't think it's 23 00:01:37,359 --> 00:01:42,920 a bad idea to be kind to our planet, to be good to our 24 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:48,000 home, to be helpful to Mother Nature. As talking to somebody yesterday also 25 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:52,879 about we're organizing some stuff on the farm for Earth Day, which is coming. 26 00:01:53,159 --> 00:01:57,280 It just seems everything is coming faster and faster and faster. That's in 27 00:01:57,319 --> 00:02:01,439 April, but here we are on Februar Who worried the twenty ninth. It's 28 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:07,039 a national leap day. It's a leap year, and so you know we 29 00:02:07,199 --> 00:02:12,199 know that it's once every four years. I have a friend named Patricia Lust 30 00:02:12,599 --> 00:02:15,039 who went to college with me. She's the only person that I know who 31 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:20,840 is a February twenty ninth birthday, and I need to send her well wishing. 32 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,919 It's some kind of a greeting today. She takes it in stride. 33 00:02:25,439 --> 00:02:30,319 It's interesting because there are a lot of people who think this is cool, 34 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:35,599 and a lot of places have parties, right, and then there are those 35 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:40,319 who have birthdays today, and so do they only celebrate once every four years? 36 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:46,240 I think they have their celebrations. But most people I know who casually 37 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,039 who are February twenty ninth. I know a few people well, and a 38 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,159 few people well, maybe one or two. Well a few people casually, 39 00:02:52,479 --> 00:02:57,639 they don't really care. A big deal is made out of this by everybody 40 00:02:57,759 --> 00:03:00,159 except those people who have the birthday. I think it'd be a bigger deal 41 00:03:00,319 --> 00:03:04,879 as a child, because everybody gets to celebrate their birthday on the day of 42 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,479 their birthday, and then if their birthday falls on a weekday, they also 43 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,360 will celebrate, maybe on a day of the weekend for their party. To 44 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:15,280 the kind of two celebrations. And people who who are born on linkeday, 45 00:03:15,319 --> 00:03:17,840 they don't get to celebrate their birthday on the actual day of year. I 46 00:03:17,879 --> 00:03:22,159 always question do they celebrate it on the day before or the day after? 47 00:03:23,039 --> 00:03:27,879 Have they adopted whenever it's not a leap year, Have they adopted March first 48 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:35,800 or February twenty eighth as their designated birthday. I think I've heard both sides 49 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:39,360 to that the day before some traditionally, I think more people in February twenty 50 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:45,639 eighth than on March first would celebrate their birthdays. And so then you go 51 00:03:45,719 --> 00:03:51,319 back to the calendars, the Roman era and how the calendars were constructed. 52 00:03:51,879 --> 00:03:57,039 The thing that is more that really hits me harder than anything else is the 53 00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:00,840 fact that all of this stuff sort of fits. You know, the weather. 54 00:04:00,919 --> 00:04:06,159 The Romans stumbled into it by having Julius Caesar and Augustus Caesar have months 55 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:13,280 named after them. But think about the perfection that is the planet, how 56 00:04:13,319 --> 00:04:17,120 it cycles itself through in the same way. Every day goes around, The 57 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:24,879 sun is visible certain times of the day, certain things happen during the year 58 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:30,439 that change the seasons. But it's perfection. The planet is perfect because it 59 00:04:30,519 --> 00:04:34,319 has the ability to have life on it. What we do with the planet, 60 00:04:34,319 --> 00:04:38,079 what we do with our lives, that's kind of up to us. 61 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:42,560 It's about the business about if you hear, depending on who you talk to, 62 00:04:42,639 --> 00:04:48,160 philosophically, of will you have. Everybody has their own will, and 63 00:04:48,199 --> 00:04:55,560 we can you know, we do things based on our will we have the 64 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:59,600 will to do this or the will to do that, and anyway. So 65 00:04:59,639 --> 00:05:03,879 I just I find the whole business of whose birthday it is today and how 66 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:10,639 you celebrate it. It'd be an interesting conversation. Tony Robbins is, let's 67 00:05:10,639 --> 00:05:15,600 see look at the list of people who have a birthday. Let's see Dennis 68 00:05:15,639 --> 00:05:18,839 Farina, remember him, he's passed away, A good actor, was a 69 00:05:18,879 --> 00:05:24,680 police officer. Did you know that he was a police He and Danny But 70 00:05:24,759 --> 00:05:29,759 that makes sense. Yeah, he and Danny Iello were friends and they became 71 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:34,360 actors in Second City. And Dennis was a police officer who got to do 72 00:05:34,399 --> 00:05:38,879 a bit part in a movie and he loved it, so he just pursued 73 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:42,600 it. Same with Danny Iello. He was a bus driver and then he 74 00:05:42,639 --> 00:05:46,839 was a bus dispatcher, and then he got into the same kind of had 75 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:51,079 a bit part driving a bus in a movie, and then bingo, he 76 00:05:51,519 --> 00:05:57,439 became a very good actor, as was Dennis Farina. So let's see here 77 00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:04,279 who else has a birthday today. I'm looking for names that you would recognize. 78 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:11,879 William Hathoy was a senator back in the twenties. Dinah Shore actress and 79 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:17,399 TV hosts singer. Her birthday was February twenty ninth, nineteen sixteen. Let's 80 00:06:17,399 --> 00:06:23,399 see, Jimmy Dorsey, who is a band leader in the nineteen forties, 81 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:30,160 is born on leap here in nineteen oh four. And then there's a John, 82 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,199 he was called Pepper. John Pepper Martin baseball player, was born in 83 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:40,240 nineteen oh four. And if you know somebody who is born on leap your 84 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:44,480 baby, and then don't you go out of your way to wish him a 85 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:46,800 happy birthday and have them I'd like to have a little server. Maybe you 86 00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,879 asked the question, maybe this is something we can do on our social media. 87 00:06:49,959 --> 00:06:54,839 Jay, do you know anybody who is a leap your baby or are 88 00:06:54,879 --> 00:06:57,680 you a leapier baby? And if so, how do you celebrate? And 89 00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,639 when do you celebrate? Now? How do you feel about out this business 90 00:07:00,639 --> 00:07:04,600 of being born on February twenty ninth to whatever year it is? Why? 91 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:10,519 Well, I guess it is not a why you could. Well, the 92 00:07:10,519 --> 00:07:14,120 way things are today, you get a sea section, You schedule the the 93 00:07:14,199 --> 00:07:17,240 birth for you know, kind of within the always sea sections are always planned. 94 00:07:17,959 --> 00:07:25,560 No they aren't, but I'm just saying sometimes they are extra Those can 95 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,759 be planned. Sometimes people have it scheduled to be induced without a C section, 96 00:07:28,839 --> 00:07:31,720 but yeah, a lot of people can kind of pick essentially the date 97 00:07:31,759 --> 00:07:36,879 of birth. Mm hmm. Yeah. Anyway, I think this is interesting. 98 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:43,480 Every year divisible by four is a leap year. Every year divisible by 99 00:07:43,519 --> 00:07:46,680 one hundred is not a leap year. So unless the year is also divisible 100 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:50,279 by four hundred, then it is still a leap year. That's pretty confusing, 101 00:07:51,519 --> 00:07:57,000 right, So let's put into practical terms. Eighteen hundred, nineteen hundred, 102 00:07:57,079 --> 00:08:00,240 twenty one hundred, twenty two hundred, twenty three hundred, twenty five 103 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:05,360 hundred are not leap years. Two thousand and twenty four hundred are leap years. 104 00:08:07,199 --> 00:08:11,480 So that means that year two thousand it's kind of special first time. 105 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:18,040 The third rule was used in many parts of the world of the rule of 106 00:08:18,839 --> 00:08:26,800 exceptions matter speaking the old calendar. I think, in essence, the practical 107 00:08:26,879 --> 00:08:33,240 side of this is we need this day. The reason leap years are needed 108 00:08:33,799 --> 00:08:39,919 the calendar needs to be aligned with the Earth's motion around the Sun. So 109 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:50,919 this is, you know, the the time between two vernal equinoxes is three 110 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:56,200 hundred and sixty five point two four to two days. That means it takes 111 00:08:56,679 --> 00:09:01,000 that many days for the Earth to make one revolution around the sun orbiting the 112 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:05,679 sun. So if you have a calendar with three hundred and sixty five days, 113 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:11,240 there's an error there, like six hours a year. But what amazes 114 00:09:11,279 --> 00:09:16,120 me or what sort of makes me wonder, how does it again turn out 115 00:09:16,159 --> 00:09:18,480 to be as perfect? What happens to those six hours during the course of 116 00:09:18,519 --> 00:09:24,159 the three years in three hundred and sixty five days? Right? This is 117 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:28,320 they call this a solar day. That's what confuses the kind of me. 118 00:09:30,279 --> 00:09:37,480 I'm not a linear thinker. Maybe we'll be better if I was, but 119 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:43,000 I'm not so anyway, maybe that makes sense to you, depends on I 120 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:48,559 guess what you have fun with in terms of your head. Also what happens 121 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:54,840 This is one of the traditions that was developed around the fourteenth or fifteenth century. 122 00:09:54,559 --> 00:10:03,000 Leapier traditionally became the time that women would propa marriage. So you know, 123 00:10:03,399 --> 00:10:07,799 today women proposed marriage all the time. But you know, what do 124 00:10:07,879 --> 00:10:13,279 they say, Back in the day, society kind of looked down on women. 125 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,120 Men were and you know, it's been this way for a long time, 126 00:10:16,279 --> 00:10:24,279 frankly, and so the tradition was started back in Ireland. Saint Bridget 127 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:30,039 complained to Saint Patrick about women having to wait for so long for a man 128 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:35,879 to propose to them, so the law was changed February twenty ninth. Was 129 00:10:35,919 --> 00:10:43,559 ignored and had no legal status, and so the people who had no status, 130 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,159 I eat women that were able to do what they wanted to and that 131 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:50,399 fixed the problem. So they thought, wow. Imagine that being trying to 132 00:10:50,399 --> 00:10:56,759 pull that off today these days. Huh. I don't think so. But 133 00:10:56,559 --> 00:11:03,240 anyway, there's also people who called this day Sadie Hawkins Day and more, 134 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:07,679 you know, fast forward to today women being given the right, oh wow, 135 00:11:09,159 --> 00:11:15,960 to run after unmarried men. That's right. Sadie Hawkins was a character. 136 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:22,080 Yeah right, Well Al Capp had a cartoon strip called Little Abner and 137 00:11:22,159 --> 00:11:26,080 Sadie Hawkins was in that and that's where that all came from. So any 138 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:30,799 rate, that's enough. On New Year's Good Doug. On Leap Year Day 139 00:11:31,399 --> 00:11:41,360 twenty twenty four, we have our social media trending list for today, the 140 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:45,480 top ten items, actually, I should say, more correct, the top 141 00:11:45,519 --> 00:11:50,159 ten people whose names are trending because of things that they're doing, things around 142 00:11:50,159 --> 00:11:56,039 them, and on the list is Adam Sandler, who gets jumpy around other 143 00:11:56,279 --> 00:12:01,559 people who are professionals, or who are stars, or who are big names. 144 00:12:01,759 --> 00:12:07,080 And this more often than not happens when he has his children with him 145 00:12:07,279 --> 00:12:09,919 to introduce them to some celebrities that he knows. And so we're going to 146 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:15,240 find out who the latest celebrity that he's brought his children to see. Who 147 00:12:15,279 --> 00:12:22,720 are who is this person? And how come he gets jumpy around these people? 148 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:26,919 It's a good question. Sandler has been bringing his children to meet celebrities, 149 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:31,639 and he admits that he is around He's very famous. I wonder if 150 00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:37,559 some people get nervous around him. So anyway, he's been talking to a 151 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:41,039 lot of you know, all these people are because of so many podcasts around 152 00:12:41,039 --> 00:12:45,039 now, they do a lot of interviews, and so he was talking about 153 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:50,480 some of the big celebrities that he has met with his children, Sadie seventeen, 154 00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:56,600 Sony is fifteen, and his wife Jackie. They lose where he at 155 00:12:56,679 --> 00:13:00,440 least loses his school, so say the rest of the family, and his 156 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:05,080 Taylor's swift because of what she means to my children. He said, I 157 00:13:05,159 --> 00:13:09,919 get jumpy. I don't want to blow it for the kids. So I'm 158 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,879 like Taylor, that is the cutest, sweetest reason to be starstruck by another 159 00:13:13,919 --> 00:13:18,799 celebrity, because you don't want it for your children. Yeah, right, 160 00:13:18,879 --> 00:13:22,759 exactly. And so you know, there are a lot of people who have 161 00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:28,559 had going back to my era. I can't. I'm not affected by that. 162 00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:31,399 I've been around a lot of famous people, interviewed a lot of famous 163 00:13:31,399 --> 00:13:33,159 people. You probably too have done the same thing, Jay, and it 164 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:39,360 doesn't affect me because I look at it as if they were just folks who 165 00:13:39,399 --> 00:13:41,919 are doing something different. I remember having this conversation with Edd McMahon. I 166 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:46,000 always refer to him his head because he and I were good friends, and 167 00:13:46,039 --> 00:13:48,919 he loved being a celebrity, and he loved being with celebrities. He's very 168 00:13:50,039 --> 00:13:54,919 close friends with Frank Sinatra and a lot of people who liked him because he 169 00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:58,840 was a likable guy, not because he was friends with Johnny Carson and not 170 00:13:58,919 --> 00:14:03,799 because everybody knew who he was, but because he was a genuinely interesting human 171 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:07,519 being, and that's what you know, most people like. So I'm guessing 172 00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:11,480 Taylor Swift is probably a pretty good human being, and Adam Sandler is as 173 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:16,799 well. But it is fun. You're right, Jay to see how people 174 00:14:16,919 --> 00:14:22,759 who are a famous reactor on people who also they select exactly yea. So 175 00:14:22,799 --> 00:14:26,000 it's great business time for Caldron.

Yeah, it is bringing purpose to life, and 194 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:52,919 that's kind of what I hope we do here in part. There's more to 195 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:58,480 life than just getting up and sort of going through the motions. Or that 196 00:15:58,559 --> 00:16:00,879 was where Jay and I were talking about in the last half hour, actually 197 00:16:02,559 --> 00:16:06,120 the whole business of leap yere and how it comes around, how things work, 198 00:16:06,159 --> 00:16:08,679 and you understand what your purpose is being here.

All right, so let's what's going on here. 222 00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:07,200 Governor Abbott of Texas issued a disaster declaration. Jay, there are sixty counties 223 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:12,839 in this so called Smokehouse Creek fire, which I don't think anybody's been talking 224 00:18:12,839 --> 00:18:18,359 about very much. This is a big disaster. It's the second largest wildfire 225 00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:23,920 in Texas history. Thousands and thousands of people have been ordered to evacuate. 226 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:30,319 The fire remains just three percent contained from what I can gather looking at two 227 00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:37,559 or three these stories covering one person is dead. This thing broke out late 228 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:45,519 on Monday. Number of wildfires burning across Texas actually headed up toward Oklahoma. 229 00:18:45,559 --> 00:18:47,480 If you want to know what part of the state it is, it's the 230 00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:52,480 part that touches Oklahoma. Let's see here, eight hundred and fifty thousand acres 231 00:18:52,519 --> 00:18:57,279 have been burned to a crisp that's larger than the state of Rhode Island. 232 00:18:57,319 --> 00:19:02,480 Just to put it into perspective, huh, So, businesses, homes, 233 00:19:02,599 --> 00:19:07,680 farms burned to the ground. And this has not been much discussed because of 234 00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:12,319 all of the huzzer eye around the elections Tuesday and Trump and going to jail 235 00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:15,119 and all this stuff. I mean, come on, what's more important knowing 236 00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:18,839 about this sort of thing? I guess it depends on who you talk to. 237 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:22,799 For me, understanding and knowing this, and the reason you want to 238 00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:26,000 understand and know about it is because you want to make sure this sort of 239 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:29,960 thing doesn't happen where you are. That's been pretty dry, I think, 240 00:19:30,079 --> 00:19:34,079 James Collins in our studio in Dallas. This winter has been pretty dry. 241 00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:37,400 It's also been kind of cold until now. Now it's warmed up. But 242 00:19:37,559 --> 00:19:41,880 temvers's in the eighties this week in Texas right in about eighty it was eighty 243 00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:45,839 eight. I think I saw there yesterday. I'm not mistaken. James is 244 00:19:45,839 --> 00:19:48,359 talking to somebody else, so he's not going to respond. But anyway, 245 00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:56,279 there's twenty there are twenty three separate wildfires. Yeah, in this area, 246 00:19:56,680 --> 00:20:00,079 So did they get set? The question is did they get it's set? 247 00:20:00,839 --> 00:20:03,440 That's what you you know. You come back around to that. How did 248 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:07,039 that coincidentally happen that there were twenty three separate fires? That's good point, 249 00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:11,720 Jay, I mean, that's a possibility. It could just be I don't 250 00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:17,319 want to say stupidity, maybe ignorance When there are there are like no burn 251 00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:22,279 notices where the elements are pretty high or pretty pretty good and the chances are 252 00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:26,519 high that there might be wildfires caused, and people will still say like, 253 00:20:26,519 --> 00:20:27,480 oh, I have some trash need to burn in the backyard, or they 254 00:20:27,519 --> 00:20:30,680 want to do a bonfire, or they smoke and they just throw out their 255 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:37,920 lit But like that's really so many things can happen, And especially when everything 256 00:20:37,039 --> 00:20:41,279 kind of culminates together on a certain day because of all of the elements again 257 00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:47,559 dry and all of that stuff and high winds, things can can go ablaze 258 00:20:47,559 --> 00:20:52,000 pretty quickly. Yep. All right. Other than the Supreme Court hearing the 259 00:20:52,079 --> 00:20:59,839 Trump immunity claim and the business of him having to pay the fines, the 260 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:06,440 the other political news is about John mccon and John mcconnog's John McConnell is listening 261 00:21:06,559 --> 00:21:08,200 to us down at Vero Beach right now, is huh what happened to me? 262 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:14,440 Now? This is about Mitch McConnell, John mcconnoll's great radio guy. 263 00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:21,920 Mitch McConnell is a Republican politician that's been in control of the Republican Party in 264 00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:26,480 the Senate I think for like twenty years. So he's agreed to set himself 265 00:21:26,519 --> 00:21:32,920 aside two years ahead of the current His terms over in two years. So 266 00:21:33,039 --> 00:21:40,079 he's the longest serving Senate leader from either party. So what is this going 267 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:44,960 to do. It'll kickstart a race to replace him. Let's see who's on 268 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:49,200 the list. A couple of John's former majority with John Cornan of Texas, 269 00:21:49,759 --> 00:21:56,279 current minority with John Thune of South Dakota. Let's see here, John Barrosso 270 00:21:56,440 --> 00:22:03,880 of Wyoming. They have if you look around in this particular election cycle, 271 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:07,680 all of those guys are going to win it. They are not. They're 272 00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:15,400 not losing anyway, the question. And by the way, the only the 273 00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:19,880 only seat that may change that I've seen, and you can correct me if 274 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:25,640 I'm wrong, is a Kirsten Cinema seat in Arizona. Democrats are trying to 275 00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:27,880 push her out. She's an independent. They don't like her. Appointed you. 276 00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:30,599 I don't know if the Republicans like her. She's pretty independent. I 277 00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:34,599 kind of like her. Yeah she is? Yeah, all right. So 278 00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:40,400 anyway, McConnell can't make up his mind. He doesn't really want to endorse 279 00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:45,519 Trump. And so you know, they had a big falling out three years 280 00:22:45,559 --> 00:22:51,960 ago and they haven't talked to each other since Trump was extraordinarily disrespectful. I 281 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:55,279 mean, I'm never I've never been a fan of Mitch McConnell at all, 282 00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:59,759 but the again back to Trump and how he takes all the oxygen out of 283 00:22:59,759 --> 00:23:04,039 the room. He was so disrespectful. He is just disrespectful. That's he's 284 00:23:04,319 --> 00:23:10,079 not if I get off on this, I just that's what really bothers me 285 00:23:10,079 --> 00:23:14,720 about him. It really does it. I don't you know, you can 286 00:23:14,759 --> 00:23:18,640 say what you want to. Maybe the country has become so crude that they 287 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:22,640 think that this is okay, But for me, there's definitely there. It 288 00:23:22,759 --> 00:23:29,720 seems like bullying culture has had an uptick amongst even adults. Absolutely, and 289 00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:34,359 manners just aren't as problem as they once were. I love good manners. 290 00:23:36,079 --> 00:23:38,519 I do. I think people in your face, it's in very I never 291 00:23:38,759 --> 00:23:44,200 engage people. People get into my face. I have people call me over 292 00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:47,240 the years on the air and be rate me for this, that or the 293 00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:49,440 other thing. I said, okay, thanks, hang up the phone. 294 00:23:49,759 --> 00:23:53,880 What do you get out of arguing with somebody like that or even engaging them 295 00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:59,680 in a conversation. M Right, bother the fool. Prove yourself to be 296 00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:03,119 the big that's a great one. I like that. I don't know that 297 00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:07,920 I've heard that before. I don't know who said that, but yeah, 298 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:11,440 yeah, accurate. All right, let's go to my favorite website, the 299 00:24:11,519 --> 00:24:18,480 NASA website, to bring you up to date on the latest research. There 300 00:24:18,599 --> 00:24:26,000 is a very interesting reality. This is the term dwarf galaxies. You're familiar 301 00:24:26,039 --> 00:24:27,480 with that, Jay, right, What a dwarf galaxy is. It's what 302 00:24:27,519 --> 00:24:30,680 you expected. He's kind of a small galaxy, and we are in one 303 00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:34,960 of them. We're in one of the smallest galaxies. And yet for the 304 00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:38,799 most part, all the stars that we see in the sky at night are 305 00:24:38,799 --> 00:24:41,119 in our galaxy, and we think, wow, look at those and how 306 00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:45,960 far away they are. Well, I mean relative terms, they're pretty far 307 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:51,000 away, but in real terms, they're like our next door neighbors and compared 308 00:24:51,039 --> 00:24:56,279 to what else is out there. So these new, faint dwarf galaxies that 309 00:24:56,359 --> 00:25:00,920 you can hardly see some of them, depending on what you know. Some 310 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:06,319 people think that there's what they call a big Bang theory everything just happened all 311 00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:10,359 at once. That but that's being kind of tossed away now. There are 312 00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:17,720 theories that they're the Big Bang came after the last reality whatever it was. 313 00:25:17,759 --> 00:25:25,519 How many? Yeah, right, it's really it's it's more than the mind 314 00:25:25,559 --> 00:25:32,079 you can understand. Frankly. Anyway, these uh, these these parts of 315 00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:37,799 the universe have what's described here by the scientists, says, a dense hydrogen 316 00:25:38,319 --> 00:25:48,960 fog, and that's responsible for reionization. That's how the stuff gets put together, 317 00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:52,920 you know, the nitrogen, the oxygen, all the things that make 318 00:25:52,039 --> 00:25:56,440 up a planet, and all this stuff is coming from the James Web telescope. 319 00:25:56,720 --> 00:26:03,400 It's fabulous, it's fascinating. It's a amazing what is being seen in 320 00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:07,599 what we're learning. I hope youngsters are being taught this in science classes because 321 00:26:07,599 --> 00:26:11,640 they really ought to get a handle on what. You know, how big 322 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:15,079 the world is in essence, right, it's a world. It's fabulous. 323 00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:19,839 It's a big, wide, wonderful world. And so there are other things 324 00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:25,400 going on other than Donald Trump trying to control everything. Hey, do you 325 00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:26,720 want to get out of here? You want to go to Vegas? Well 326 00:26:26,759 --> 00:26:32,680 guess what five four to one travels can help, and so can we call 327 00:26:32,839 --> 00:26:37,720 right now eight hundred four one nine Doug, Doug, that's eight hundred four 328 00:26:37,799 --> 00:26:42,599 one nine three six eight four and get away.

Call eight hundred four to one nine Doug Doug eight 339 00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:26,480 hundred four one nine three six eight four Social Media Time, Jay social media 340 00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:32,279 in terms in this hour, I like to sort of dig around rather than 341 00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:36,759 focus on some of the trending things. What happens, how does this work, 342 00:27:36,839 --> 00:27:41,480 what goes on? And here the I saw this in one of the 343 00:27:41,519 --> 00:27:48,799 trades actually yesterday, about how news organizations around the country are basically falling apart 344 00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:56,240 because the advertisers are going to social media instead of to these news organizations because 345 00:27:56,240 --> 00:28:00,079 there are more people watching. This is almost sick. Yeah, not that 346 00:28:00,599 --> 00:28:04,880 you know, the news organizations have their problems, frankly, unless they're an 347 00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:11,079 outfit like News Nation, but these social media companies that are sucking up all 348 00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:18,279 of the money and advertising that once went to the media companies, not just 349 00:28:18,319 --> 00:28:22,319 news media companies, but radio companies, TV companies, all of this sort 350 00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:26,400 of thing. So, you know, and people are going to follow what 351 00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:30,839 they want to do. You have free choice, but it's very dramatic shift. 352 00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:34,400 And so these companies, the advertisers are smart to do this because that's 353 00:28:34,519 --> 00:28:37,599 where they're going to be seen and noticed. More more often than not, 354 00:28:37,839 --> 00:28:42,559 people are going to these news sites through social media. They're already on social 355 00:28:42,599 --> 00:28:45,960 media and then they're clicking a link that takes them to the news site. 356 00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:48,759 Most people don't go directly to the The news sites don't get paid for that, 357 00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:53,160 and that's really kind of an outrage the news they're trying to make deals 358 00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:57,960 with these various social media companies to be paid for allowing them to click through 359 00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:02,880 to the story. That's been a big issue at Facebook for a long time. 360 00:29:03,559 --> 00:29:07,880 Zuckerberg don't want to share, but for example, a Wall Street Journal. 361 00:29:07,119 --> 00:29:11,240 They're not going to let you just click onto a story there that they 362 00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:15,279 have been responsible for unless they get paid, yeah, for the click to 363 00:29:15,279 --> 00:29:18,440 subscribe as well. They ought to be right exactly well, and I mean, 364 00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:21,279 how can they not anymore? We used to be able to go online 365 00:29:21,279 --> 00:29:25,480 and see things free, because they've still had most people weren't going online. 366 00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:30,240 You were still buying the hard copy magazines and the tangible items. And now 367 00:29:30,359 --> 00:29:33,519 with less and less people doing that, they still need the subscribers. You 368 00:29:33,559 --> 00:29:37,640 still need to subscribe to something, so instead of having your mail delivery subscription, 369 00:29:37,799 --> 00:29:44,119 it's online. You know. You look though at some of the crazy 370 00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:48,720 stuff, some of these conspiracy theories that have radicalized a lot of people in 371 00:29:48,759 --> 00:29:53,559 America, built around social media gossip and rumors and stuff that isn't true. 372 00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:57,480 January sixth is a perfect example, I think of that, but there are 373 00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:04,160 plenty of others go on all day every day. The whole business about Facebook 374 00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:14,000 or Meta if you will, allowing child sex exploitation to exist on Instagram is 375 00:30:15,079 --> 00:30:18,200 this is horrible, and yet these guys are considered credible or these sites are 376 00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:22,880 considered credible when they allow you know, and then we're back to the free 377 00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:27,680 speech issue. They because they aren't, you know, not a government. 378 00:30:27,759 --> 00:30:32,279 They're controlled entity. It's a private business, so they can do what they 379 00:30:32,359 --> 00:30:38,440 want. And that's okay, except allowing things like child porn and child exploitation 380 00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:45,119 and all of this stuff human trafficking. How the hell is that good for 381 00:30:45,279 --> 00:30:48,920 It's good for them, good for business because there obviously are perverts who want 382 00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:52,559 to go and look at that stuff, so they banner it with advertising. 383 00:30:52,880 --> 00:31:00,039 Imagine that, huh, imagine that it's these sexploitation. Speaking of gross, 384 00:31:02,359 --> 00:31:10,279 the government has figured out the Russian hackers are using some kind of new compromised 385 00:31:10,519 --> 00:31:15,480 router for their operations here and around the world. Because they do have operations 386 00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:18,720 here. They don't have to be here. They got Edward Snowden so he 387 00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:23,079 can cook up all of this stuff. There are other state sponsored hackers that 388 00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:29,880 are exploiting some kind of a new router, using their credentials to break into 389 00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:33,440 them. The FBI can't seem to figure out how to fix it or how 390 00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:36,720 to deter them. They're just saying, well, look out because this is 391 00:31:36,759 --> 00:31:41,279 a possibility. Okay, So a rumor is one thing, but there are 392 00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:45,960 all kinds of Russian cyber actors that have been created by the push that our 393 00:31:47,119 --> 00:31:52,480 pal Puke and Putin has come up with. So I then what in a 394 00:31:52,519 --> 00:31:57,359 world huh? The next Stefan Good Day download with Doug and Jay Kirshner is 395 00:31:57,359 --> 00:32:00,920 made possible in part by Kelly Trend, which is the safe way for you 396 00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:02,680 to lose weight and keep it off.
