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, and also by previagent keeping your brain healthy. Thanksgiving week
and as soon as we dive into the turkey and stuff next day, people
can't wait. Okay, unless you're Jennifer Horn, you get the decorations up
already. A lot of people do. Actually November first, as it should
be, no December first. The Trans Siberian Orchestra, they instrumentally anyway,
they herald the beginning of the season. And there's something about what they've created.
That's why they become so popular and are so identified with the season with
Christmas, because they do most of their concerts from this time of year to
the Christmas. It's just kind of play a little bit more of that.
Let's see we can pick out the things that are different instrumentally in this the
strings, the way they use orange, and the special little what they call
those tubul or bells, and that what that is. I think that's what
those things are, right. Yeah, So they're around the country doing a
lot of concerts. I noticed one of our stations out in Nebraska has brought
them in to kick off the holiday season, the Trans Siberian Orchestra there and
they had a charity concert that raised thousands of dollars for a local nonprofit.
That's what they do, the Trans Siberian Railroad does that. They get paid,
but they also do a lot of charity work, as a lot of
radio stations do at this time of year here on a lot of local stations,
the stages that carry this program and others, they are out about to
help people who need help. And after all, isn't that with the season
is really all about we get right down to the brast acts of it all,
it's about helping. Well, we're all here out Oh yeah, and
look at this This coming week and the next use shopping days. So of
course you have Black Friday, but then Saturday is shop shop local Saturday or
support local Saturday. And then you have Sunday and the Cyber Monday stuff.
But then Tuesday is Giving Tuesday. So it's kind of like a lot of
people who have their funds put away in stash for their Christmas shopping or holiday
shopping, and then whatever they have left. It's like give, give to
get donated, give to charities that need it help like Choice for Tots or
any place else that is going to help children have a better holiday season and
help families with meals. And it's a great time of year to be a
part of that. Yeah, how many people still? Is there such a
thing? Maybe I should ask that first? As Christmas clubs used to do
you even know what a Christmas club is? Enough? Dating myself, there
is a way people used to put aside money. You know. The tradition
was before you had the way it's done now of cashing in the ATM machine,
YadA, YadA, YadA. When people would go into the bank to
cash their check, they would have a little It's kind of almost a separate
savings account. I just have past books, and you put money into the
savings account, puts some money in the checking account, and you put money
into the Christmas club account and you saved it for Christmas. That's how people.
That's for generations, people would put money aside so they have money to
spend this time of your own Christmas gifts. People that lived and still do
from paycheck to paycheck. But in this sense, there was a consciousness of
what am I going to do? And how am I going to spend money
for my family and help people? So I thought, yeah I would.
I'm reminded of it, but I don't know that they still exist. It
may be because if they did, you probably know about it. I don't
remember going into the bank and seeing anybody present their Christmas club card and say,
okay, I'll put ten dollars away in there. There, that's a
time. That's the time gone by. Apparently I'd celebrate Monday, the twentieth
and November here with some good news, A couple of things from the water,
if you will. Here's the story of a lobstermen up in Portland,
Maine, who jumped into the ocean to save a driver who was in a
submerged car. This is kind of a cool thing, but this is you
know, this is what they do. Anyway, this guy, the car
was sinking. The fire department approached this area and the crews were trying to
break into the car, but it kept going down and down and down,
and as it went below the surface, obviously it was how's this guy going
to survive? It's like a bad movie, right. So Manny Corrinos,
who is a lobsterman put on his diving gear and jumped into the water and
got the guy out of the car. It wasn't the fireman, it was
the guy in the lobster boat who was right there. This is the time
of year when the water was getting colder, the lobster are easier to get,
so there are a lot of lobstermen off the coast of Maine. It
seems that you get the best lobsters. And so this guy was apparently on
his way out, so it was going on, and jumped into the water
and saved this guy. So, yeah, he was unresponsive, saved him
a CPR on the boat and back to shore. It was like seventy five
yards away too. Yep, all right, here's another rescue. This is
the story of a woman who became a firefighter because the fire department saved her
during a suicide attempt. Her name is Tenley Gillette. She tried to end
her life in twenty sixteen, but she was saved by a local fire fighter
and now she's joined the fire department. Hey, why not, right,
it's a circle moment? Yeah, right, exactly. So they did the
annual I guess they do. This is up Manchester and Hampshire. I think,
right, you up in the Merrimack Valley. And so this is a
look around at some of the things I know. I highlight some of the
stuff that comes from my neck of the woods because I'm looking at local the
stories and the local papers. But I think these are good stories and these
are something by the way, apparently she's become an avid cross fitter and she
has a massage therapy business. Most of the people who are firefighters have side
businesses. I know a fellow who's helping me on the development that I'm working
on. He's a lieutenant in the fire department, and he's an architect on
the side, although I think he spends more time being an architect. Now,
the firefighters only half they work. They're on duty forty eight hours a
week, so they are actually two twenty four hour shifts, and so you
got five days to do something thing else And a lot of people are critical,
well, I shouldn't they be on to do it? You all the
time? I think that if you are to go to if you just sat
outside a fire station in in the medium sized community, and so how many
times the trucks run out in the course of twenty four hours. They don't
sleep much because they have to go out whenever there's a call for an ambulance.
Fire department has to go out any kind of rescue. It isn't just
fires. It's that the EMTs jump onto the truck and they run out to
help people heart attacks and you know, people who fall into the pool as
all sorts of stuff. So but she going back to the massage bent is
the reason she does it, the same reason that she's on the fire department.
She thinks that she has a lot to be thankful for, and she's
trying to help people, and that's what she's doing. What a great lesson.
A great story. Not always did these stories end well, but this
one did full circle. As you said, yep. And so the local
fire chief is very proud of her. I should I didn't say, was
she has a I can't find out was she has a family or not.
But she's obviously she's thirty years old. And she said she didn't think of
herself as inspiring. Well I would, frankly, and so getting herself physically
and emotionally and spiritually fit I don't really know, and probably doesn't make a
difference. Jay, Why she wanted to commit suicide, what was going on
in her life and this I don't know. I'm not going to be a
preacher here. Let this be a lesson to you. It's just a story.
It isn't just a story. It's a yeah, sorry, that there
is hope, Yeah there is. And I know it's so cliche, but
that there is a light at the end of the tunnel even when it doesn't
feel like it in the darkest times, and that nobody should have to navigate
these dark feelings alone, but so many people do because either they don't want
to be a burden, they feel like they're a burden. There's shame around
it, there's embarrassed. And it's really great that the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline
has made it even easier to get help. You can dial nine eight eight.
You can text Strength to the crisis text line, which is seventy seven
four one seven four one. That's good seven to four. I didn't know
that seven do that say that through? Yeah, you can. You can
just text the word strength to seven four one seven four one. You can
even go online nine eight eight lifeline dot org. They've created so many avenues
where people can reach out for help. Really, all right, that's good
to know. Seven four one. Write that number down, seven four one.
I just saw a video a heartwarming rescue pair of fishermen finding a juvenile
dolphin tied up in the fishing net. That happens a lot. This was
off the coast of Spain. The dolphins all tangled up in the net,
mothers trying to get the baby. The tail actually was what got tangled up,
and then it got pulled underwater. Now you think, okay, they
can live underwater. They can swim underwater, but they have to surface for
air. They can hold their blood right exactly so anyway, and the mother
was crying out for help. This is what's great. Dolphins are so sophisticated.
You know, maybe when we keep going and ruin the planet, maybe
the dolphins will take over the planet. What do you think the dolphins?
Who would be the dolphin president? Right? Interesting? Yeah, silly,
but yeah, but it is great. I mean the mama dolphin was holding
her baby up, screaming for help, essentially, and the fishermen were able
to go and rescue and all right, let this be a lesson to those
of you who are thinking that Donald Trump is the best choice or Joe Biden
is or whoever it is. The world is changing a libertarian who this sort
of reminds me of Zelensky, who wasn't a politician. He ran for president
of Ukraine and he won. Well, the same sort of thing happened this
weekend in Argentina, where there is the same kind of stuff going. Well,
it wasn't quite as bad as Venezuela, but a lot of things going
on politically. Most every country that has a fairly large population is there's unrest
everywhere. People are not satisfied. Maybe it's because there's too much information.
Then you can say, well, what does that mean? Too much information
now going to be too much information? There's too much bad information, too
much incorrect information. But information. I mean. I like to pride myself
thinking this program is all about information, hopefully a lot of stuff that you
wouldn't hear anywhere else, whether it's the stories themselves or our attitude toward them.
That's why I find this guy, Javier Miley, who is the new
president of Argentina. The story of his meteoric rise. He was obscure,
nobody knew who this guy was kind of reminds me of Jimmy Carter and a
man who was speaking right, there is so much economic decline in Argentinia,
the Argentine economy. Argentinia didn't really nobody knew where it was until all the
Nazis who left after World War II escaped to Argentini, Argentina, and they
kind of they changed their identity. They just disappeared. And so okay,
fast forward to today. This guy says, long Live freedom, damn It.
That was his rallying cry translated right, long live freedom, damn it.
And so you can see this stuff, you can go. He fired
up the young people and got him to vote. And he was very anti
establishment, very very anti establishment. Sure is the hole that Trump has on
everything. You know, headlines are always Trump supporter, Trump against Stair whatever.
And he is a Trump like radical wins presidency for Argentina. Yep,
right, and so there you go. You yeah. I am Robert Strickler.

help me recall things and also think more clearly, have a crisper ability to
remember and think through things. And I enthusiastically recommend Previagen. It has helped
me an awful lot Proviagen Healthier, better life. Robert Strickler is a content

Were you Jay you? I know? I am a person that believes that
sweet potato should be treated like their russet and baby red counterparts. Don't sweeten
them up. Don't put brown sugar, cinnamon or any of that stuff on
it. Like give me the salt, do do the garlic, all of
that. I love sweet potatoes, but not when they're sweetened up. Not
too sweet sweet but naturally sweet kind of goes Jimmy sweet. Yes right.
If you want to listen to our Food Farm and Family. The daily report
is at Foodfarmfamily dot com. Butt today's we have the beginning of what I'm
going to probably spend a couple of days on here and there, and mostly
in that venue, because it's certainly appropriate when you're thinking about what to save
and what to throw away, or what to buy and what not to buy.
Looking at labels, understanding dates and all that sort of thing an important
ingredient to having food around. We know that leftovers are a big thing this
week, so try to give you a steer in the right directory. It
comes to that. But every day you could probably spend a few minutes learning
about things, our connection to the farm, the food that comes from there,
encouraging people to buy locally if they can. That's one of the things
American Farm Bureau in the National Farmers Union have really stepped up there pushing that,
and it starts at Thanksgiving, goes through the holidays and maybe gives you
the This happened during COVID when people had no choice because there was no food
in the grocery stores. They found their local farmers and found the way to
find much better food for the most part. So anyway, those conversations continue
always on food farmfamily dot com. Jennifer Horn is here and Jay Kirshner is
here. Quiet right, It would be worth quiet right right exactly. I
have a plan. You know, there's who is that said? I have
a dream of Martin Luther King so Doug Stephen's epithet. I have a plan,
Yes, I have a plan. I like to read and learn.
That's my plan and listen to as well as understanding what smart people have to
say about various things. You know who's smart and who's not. Do you
judge them by whether they agree with you? Or that person's very smart he
agrees with me. Now, try to surround yourself with a diverse point of
view. A lot of people. This is one of the things that sadly
has overtaken the radio, the talk radio industry. There are people who present
the right way of thinking quote right or the left, where there are very
few. Jay and I are about to undertake and Jennifer, I'd like to
see if I can squeeze a We got to squeeze a picture of Jennifer and
we're going to turn We're going to do a promotional thing that basically focuses on
how we with the attitude we have on this program sort of turns talk radio
upside down. And you know, the talking points that we come up with
here are often about the issues of the day that everybody's talking about, but
not necessarily taking the same point of view. All right, So that's something
just maybe that's too much inside baseball. But when I look at issues like
the whole immigration thing, looking at the numbers, this is something that ought
to be on our minds all the time, and it isn't because we get
lost with you know, a lot of different things. The number of illegal
immigrants who are in New York City that have to be this is one city.
The city is paying to house fifty eight thousand people on night that are
there illegally. Imagine one city paying the bill for fifty eight thousand people who
don't belong in New York but they're there now. In terms of what the
city of Los Angeles use that as an example. The Jennifer can weigh in
on this. The last night in Los Angeles, the feed and shelter of
the illegals, never mind the people who are homeless, but the people this
is a double whomen because about twice as much for the homeless as a post
is, you know, with immigrations to the illegal immigration ten million dollars a
night to feed and shelter the migrants. Again, this is not the homeless.
These are the migrants who are there. It also makes you wonder if
they allowed bidding, how much that number would be, because I mean,
obviously the point is is that there's a lot of people, but it also
is the government bloat that makes money from this, because what's happening is that
they've created a whole other industry creating services to serve the homeless or the migrants.
So it's making people money or they wouldn't be doing it. Let's go
back to New York. So if you do the math for the fifty eight
thousand illegals who are there, multiply the services the budgets of the city's fire,
Sanitation, park department where these people they have to have extra people on.
But the cost this past year to the City of New York was four
point seven billion dollars. By the time you add in all of the housing
for these people that are illegal. What is being done to quote unquote protect
them or give them what they need. I don't listen. This is not
about me being a bad guy and saying we shouldn't help people. We are
here to help, but we shouldn't be letting all these people in because we
don't know who the heck they are at number one. And this is an
old ruse, an old conversation, it's an old argument. But yet you
know, nobody seems to be paying or not enough people they're paying attention to
it. Well, and also there are people who legitimately need help, and
then there are people who are coming in to game and take advantage of the
system. Yeah, and then there's that whole other element that you're talking about
that are actually here to do us harm and that are here to snibble and
women and drugs and do maybe even terrorism. Well, so what about Governor
Abbott As an example, there's a floating barrier. I don't know if you've
ever seen a picture of this along the Rio Grande, because that kind of
a clever it was that they didn't finish the wall, so at least along
the border in Texas, somehow or other, Abbot got a almost like a
barge that you can't get around along the Rio Grand from l Passo all the
way down to Brownsville. Do you think someone's sitting and listening to your show
right now, going it's a large barge. Barge, Yes, it is
whatever, so large barge marge? Yeah right, okay, So anyway,
and I'm saying this sort of collectively because there are those who are now swearing
by Newsmax instead of Fox, and I look at I actually watched some of
it over the weekend. I'm at night when I'm pretty much done. I
am done. I've had enough last night. We get done, I say,
we, Daisy, and I get done about eight thirty working on the
farm. So I came home and I do because of what I'm doing here,
I like to think that I need to stay informed. Hello dah.
Now that doesn't mean that I have to agree with everything that's said. I
just want to know what's being said. So you know, I turned the
News Nation a lot. I did look at Newsmax over the weekend, and
I was looking at some of the hyperboles, some of the promotion for some
of the shows. I don't know who Carl Higby is. For example,
do you know Jennifer who Carl Higby is never heard of it. The only
person that I see, Eric Bowling, I know, and I don't know
why I know him. I think he was on far okay. And then
there's grenav and Cstern who ran everywhere has been yeah, but she's now literally
all the cable networks. No, she has been yeah exactly anyway. So
I just am looking at that and I think, Okay, look at all
the promotion and that stuff, the whole business of what we've The reason I
was talking about greater ancestress because she was talking about inflation and where inflation is
hurt because we are in a forty years giving Oh, we sure do trying
to buy something. I've been through those numbers, Jay, how many times,
almost every day, off and on for a month. I've talked about
what the American farmer is getting versus what you're paying. And honestly, it's
probably still not enough to speak on. It's a very important conversation that we
should all be having. And we even discussed the possibility of you know what,
it's a little bit too late now for Thanksgiving, but start thinking about
it for next Ye's Thanksgiving. Do a farm to table Thanksgiving. There are
so many farms in your area, and there are actually some brick and mortars.
I'm not talking farmers' markets, but a brick and mortar that's always there,
a farmer's market, a market that partners with a lot of the different
farmers that are nearby, so you don't necessarily have to go to each farm,
but they get a bigger chunk because it is truly with the farmer in
mind. That's actually very smart, because the reason we have so much inflation,
what nobody likes to tell you, is because of the drilling policies of
the Biden administration. So most of our so called inflation is happening because you're
having to pay more for gas and trucking stuff all over the place, if
you know, I mean it. And that's why the farmers are suffering because
they're still charging the same amount, but all that extra money that you're paying
is in trying to get stuff from one place to the other. Well,
let me give you a little insight into that. I don't buy new tractors,
although I actually did buy a new tractor a couple of months ago because
I had a cab on it was warm, so the guys won't be cold
when they're working around the cows and feeding them this winter. But generally speaking,
I like older open cab tractors, and I'm more likely to keep rebuilding
them, putting new engines and things in them until they completely wear out because
it's cheap. I don't like all of the things that are part of the
regulations that make you put death into this. And you know, there's all
kinds of computer gadgetry, and it's just no, I don't want to do
that. But in terms of what we are doing on the farm and what
has been done, and you know, you look at the various things that
are a part and parcel of what we're eating, how we're eating, where
we make our decisions, and what happens with the farmers. I bought a
tractor and an auction last week in Wisconsin, and it's going to cost me
not almost as much I paid for the tractor. But I did the same
thing last year. I bought a tractor on the Midwestern shifted here. The
amount of money is going to cost to ship that tractor back here is twice
what I paid last year to do pretty much the same thing. And that's
really what's going on in the inflation department everywhere, So something to be aware
of, I think for sure, not that we aren't anyway, So it's
great business time for Caldron. I would think the phones would be bringing off

to check in with some technology related to social media. Don't forget whenever you
want to express yourself, we have lots of ways of doing it. All
of the social media is connected to us at good Day Networks, and that
even includes X X X. What is that X marks the spot? Well,
I suppose I should spend a little time talking about the this is.
I'd like to know what the source of this is. Frankly, I'm betting
it's a left of center some kind of a social or maybe printed media.
The focus is on all the advertisers that are leaving Elon Musk's X. They've
halted their advertising and so is that bad Elon Musket plenty money? He didn't
care? Is it about his reputation? This is? You know a lot
of people think it shows you who's anti free of freedom of Well, look
at it. These are a bunch of Listen, Disney, Paramount, NBC,
Comcast, Lionsgate, Warner Brothers, and CNN Discovery Channel about what Elon's
done at Twitter. He's just lifted the veil X. He's lifted the veil
on all those accounts that were that were pushed aside. So unless you're anti
freedom of speech, I don't know why you would be upset by that.
Disney is the worst. Yeah yeah, Disney is Apple Withdrew. Yeah right,
Disney is awful. It is awful, awful, and people don't put
it all together. They said, well, I want to go to the
Disney parks because they're fun. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I get that,
uh, or I want to it's Disney has bought up almost everything when
it comes to entertainment video. They want to buy everything, and they control
much of the thought, much of the thought pattern of many things. Okay,
So IBM says that they pulled out because they have zero tolerance for hate
speech and discrimination. Well, how do you teach people about how bad it
is? If you eliminate it all, people aren't gonna know. But also
speeches on every social media platform, of course it is. It's ridiculous.
So why is ex targeted? Right? Exactly? All right, here's an
interesting business having to do with AI. I don't know if you know who
the French singer Edith Pioff is, but favorites I have her by iPod right
after Blake Shelton. Do you congratulations anyway, Well, this is obviously she's
a French performer, a famous one. Yeah, but she's been dead for
sixty years and now the AI people are using her voice to to recreate a
new documentary about her. And this was done here in our country by Warner
Music. It's an animated biopic of her work. It tells the story.
But is it the people in I guess the family or some folks are saying,
Okay, this is an example of how it can be done, and
isn't that amazing? Yeah, because she's been dead since what nineteen sixty three
or something, and so they've found some of her old stuff and they've recreated
it. But then, you know, you use that and it becomes you
could go back to al Jolson, or you could go back to Gregory Peck,
or you can go back to any number of people who were Marilyn Monroe.
Right, let's keep them from recreating Marilyn Monroe. And I'm typically not
a fan of them doing stuff like this, but if it's okay with the
family to hear somebody narrating their own documentary, that would be pretty neat.
Well, it's an interesting example of how it works. I just went further
with it to say, what if you know it's this person or that person.
I think lots to be discovered. I think when it comes to this
sort of thing, for sure. The next Stefan Good Day download with Doug
