The neck Stephen. Good Day Download with Doug and Jay Kirshner is made possible
in part by Kellatran, which is the safe way for you to lose weight
and keep it off, and also by priviging keeping your brain healthy. Seven
minutes after the hours Friday, Memorial Day Weekend is upon us with Doug Stephen
and Jennifer Horne here at your service and on your side. How many times
have you heard me say that, Jennifer, at your service and on your
side? Probably with you, but we mean right every time. Yes,
right, of course, we're here to fight truth to Kay. Let's see
how many things i can go through that are pedantic that I've used over the
years. Talk that matters, simulating talk radio. Yeah, let's have all
kinds that we have. It's a bargain listening to this program because it doesn't
cost you anything, right, So the price is right, Yeah, the
price is right. Correct. So as we get ready for Memorial Day weekend,
it started actually earlier in the week on Wednesday, and it came back
from la The traffic getting to the airport wasn't bad because it was earlier in
the day, but getting on the plane and wandering around the airport was very
busy, and so where the flights, it would seem, And so somebody
came up with a theory that the airlines were not running as many flights as
they normally do. You what said, what I've heard that is that,
right, well, there normally are four to five American flights a day in
each direction from Boston to Los Angeles. That day there were three. And
this is not really We're not at the end of the month packing them up
because they're cutting down on their routes. Yeah, well, that'll probably won't
last long for American because they had the deal. One of the things they
did with Jet Blue was to meter the number of trips on various, uh
very its roots so that they weren't competing so much. And the government said
this week that Jet Blue an American had to dissolve their partnership because it was
leading to a monopoly in the Northeast from Boston to New York to Philadelphia down
to Washington. They're basically only two airlines that were they pushed everybody else out.
A Delta, which always had kind of been the king of the Northeast
in a matter of speaking, no longer really is so. And they're far
better airline than either American or Jed Blue. So that'd be interesting to see
how the numbers told up, because I know by the time we'll be on
the air live on Monday. I don't think you're gonna be here on Monday,
but I know, Jay, Are you here Monday? I don't,
no, no, no, I'm taking the day off. Okay, Well,
that's okay. The bottom line is that we have that hero, Pete
Budge. Maybe the worst transportation secretary in history could be. I would agree
with you on that. There are a lot of the worst, and here
he kind of is on par with that Puts, who is the Secretary of
Agriculture during the Trump administration. I forget his thanks Perdue. That's right,
Yeah, he was a horror show. Anyway, let's talk about the good
stuff. Driving to the airport. Well, maybe that's not gonna be so
good traveler, Maybe that'll stink too. Well, yeah, I think so
let's just get there. You'll have a great time, all right, I
have a good time. A lot of people have gone earlier, I'm saying
to you, on and off the year, A lot of people, do
you know, especially like I think today the Friday disappearance will happen. Probably
people. So here's what I weekend I wish Jamie, here's who we could
post this. I would like to hear excuses that people use for today.
We want to have a four day weekend. I'm sick, I don't feel
good. Now in your case, that's true. We did. You're here
is a trooper. So who's coming up with these excuses? What kind of
My mother has broken her legs, she's fallen and she can't get up,
my dog, ate my homework, my dog, So what excuses do you
have? Sharon on social media Facebook and Instagram, at Good Day Radio show,
Twitter, Good Day on Air, And of course there's the uver eleven
eight five five nine nine nine dugaroo. I'll that your father who says that
eight five five I can't get away with that on the phone eight five five
nine nine nine three six eight four That translates to doug all right. So
anyway, my favorite is when someone makes something up and then this time of
year they go to a baseball game and then they get caught on camera.
Those are the best ones, right, yeah, exactly. Forty two point
three million Americans are expected to travel fifty or more miles from home over the
next five days. So let's see what do we have here? There is
so what it's well the twenty today's the twenty six. So I actually started
yesterday? Right? Or is today the twenty seven day? Is the twenty
six? Yeah, twenty six? So are you going to travel in your
car? How many people are going to take the bus in LA because it's
become very dangerous in La. Yeah, right, to ride everything in LA
if you really get down to brass tacks, is dangerous because the city is
worse than terribly run. Just this week's day on the Metro, on the
bus, some lady came out and said that she was wildly punched by a
woman and she tried to escape, and then another guy came around and stole
her phone. Then right in like a nice area of Woodland Hills in the
San Fernando Valley, a bus driver was stabbed in critical condition, not sure
if he made it by someone who just came on. You started arguing with
them, and next thing, you know, stabbed with an object four or
five times unbelievable. All right, Well, anyway, we've got six percent
more people traveling. Yeah, yeah, happy trails to you. Unto we
meet again. If we do. That's the year. Six percent more on
the road, thirty seven million people on the road this year, a couple
of million more than last year. And the space on the highways because as
we all know, in the good weather, it's time to slow the traffic
down, it's time to fix the bridge, it's time to repave the highway.
So what does that? How much does that slow you down as you
go? Then the airports, probably three and a half million people will be
on planes eleven percent more than last year expected to fly and this will have
a lot of cabin fever this year or too for I don't know if it's
just in my social circle, but everybody's talking about just getting out, change
of scenery, get to a beach, get to something. It seems like
everybody is really looking for that this year. Well, the price of gas
is a little bit lower than it was last year. But just think about
how much you're going to do, how much time you're spending the car commuting
from wherever you are to where you want to go, and how much of
your life will be spending the car. How much of your life is taken
away from you by being on these roads that are not well built and not
well maintained. It's and this is the outrage that I get into every time
I start talking about this, because if it weren't for the unions having a
stranglehold on the government, everything's got to be a union job. These metro
areas around every big city, the roads are are atrocious. And that's because
they aren't built well, they're not repaired well, they aren't built to last.
So anyway, if you're dumb enough to go on the roads afternoon today,
expect to send spend three times more than right, Let's say you normally
drive from Los Angeles to San Diego. All right, that's normally a little
bit less than two hours by the way I do it. Anyway, you
will spend Yeah, you'll spend four to six hours doing the same trip today,
oh a thousand percent. Especially it's Friday anyway, and the fact that
it's Memorial Day. Yeah, I'm supposed to I didn't even think about it.
I'm supposed to go into Hollywood to talk to to go to a play
with my mom today, yeah, for Mother's Day. And boy, I
was thinking, gosh, we're gonna have to really get their early Hollywood Bowl
Friday traffic people try to get around. Be interesting to see how it does
well. We have the Cape here and the islands, and we also have
the mountains and the lakes up north. The Triple A says that if you're
going to try that, and most people know about the bridge, there's a
bridge that goes up into Maine as well. That's the one over the troubled
waters. Right, Yes, it is, yep, right, and they're
very troubled. With your your time, you're twenty eight to forty five percent
longer depending on what time you leave. Give yourself an extra for a trip
to the Cape. Normally I can drive down to the Cape across the bridge
in normal driving in an hour, in fifteen twenty minutes, maybe an hour
and a half. Expect four hours or more to yep, exactly right.
And by the way, how about this the stats this is for the long
weekend. The traffic to go to England and to the easy places to get
to in Europe for example like Lisbon, Madrid, Rome, Frankfurt, Paris
up two hundred fifty percent since last year. Wow, the planes there,
that's where they're really roaring. And so anyway, have a good time,
well, people were locked down for a long time. So party time,
right, or as we say here in New England, patty time. That's
it all right. So a lot of people don't like celebrating their birthday on
a holiday weekend, especially at Christmas time. My daughter was born and my
grandson within a couple of days of Christmas on either end. It's not quite
so bad when you're born at this time during the month of May. So
I feel like Jamie, who is James? This is interesting. You'd think
the kid would be called Jamie and the father would be called James, right
other way around. With a Collins family, it's a Jamie Collins at forty
fifth birthday. Now you know how that makes me feel? I'm old enough
to be James's grandfather, right? Think about that, James, tell them
Mark, all right? Yeah anyway, And I feel sometimes like I have
a good fatherly advice for you, and sometimes it's a little more strict than
I don't know. How is your father as in terms of parenting? Would
you say he was strict? Would you say he was not strict? Normal?
How would you describe your father's parenting when it came to you he ran
a tight ship growing up, and you know what, it turned out great
for him. You know if we had a lot of you know, we
had a lot of fun, had a lot of ups and downs. But
you know we're here and I love him. And happy birthday then, all
right, Jamie Gollins, birthday to Jamie. Happy birthday to you La.
All right. So a couple of the andes sad to say, I'm close
enough to be old enough to be your mother. No, you're such a
good guy. I can't imagine that your dad is awesome. So I hope
he has good he's great, He's awesome. It's good, all right.
So I asked about the candidates. Had a couple of beauties. Here,
Lynn Greer says Kennedy should be interesting. I'm with her on that one.
I think that that's depending on what else happens, I'll probably go in that
direction. Here's Mel Wats, who says it's hard to say whether I'm more
excited about indicted despot or want to be who can't wait to take control of
what we can read, what words we can say, or what we do
with our bodies. Man, isn't that I mean? Think yesterday I'm gonna
get off on a tute now because this so annoyed me. This is another
one of this is a beauty from Biden. They're studying whether or not to
I know already in California there's been a limit on natural gas stoves and heat
and that sort of thing. But so now Biden wants to make if you're
going to use a natural gas stove, we have to have all kinds of
new very you know new. I'm talking about new standards. Got any new
stove? Come on, will you? We should take a nap when it
comes to these guys. I I'm Greg. I'm sixty eight years old,
grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, major in business administration. I do motivational
speaking in addition to substitute teaching. Part of the reasons for my motivational speaking
is I kind of feel like I have a calling or giving back to the
younger generation. You know, the golden role is doing to others you'd have
them doing to you. My wife, Janda, is a senior flight attendance,
has been flying for over thirty years. We do laugh quite a bit.
I think most adults will start realizing that they don't recall things as quickly
a say used to or they don't real number of things as vividly as they
once did. I've been taking privilege for about three years now, people say
to me periodical, Man, you got a memory like an alpha. It's
really really helped me tremendously, providing healthier brain, better life. Grig freely

celebrate today, which is National Heat Awareness Day, Now, being a farmer,
I could take that a number of different ways, all right, Jennifer
Horne is here as the dugger is the Occupational Safe and Healthy Administration. Yes
we need more. Government has declared Jennifer today to be National Heat Awareness Day.
There's I don't know when this first got started, but the reality here
is that every year people suffer and die from heat induced illnesses which could have
been prevented had the government been here with the right protective measures to save your
life. Without the government, right exactly, I'm from the government and I'm
here to help. So there are a lot of mean, I'll be outside
all weekend on the farm and it's going to be let's see here where we
have temperatures eighty four. It's expected for Sunday in the seventies. The rest
of the weekend. I think it's warming up. It was really when I
was in La this week well, actually it was pleasant if I was inland,
but that marine layer was just like a right. It was a shift
in whether it rained every morning the last twelve the last three mornings, Yeah,
it rained every time I left the house. It was crazy. It
kept catching me by surprise each morning. You'd think I catch on. Yeah,
slow to catch on. Young children are vulnerable going to the beach this
weekend, the first beach weekend. It's warm in some parts of the country.
But then there are those who even if it isn't really warm, the
older you are, the more vulnerable you are if you got chronic medical conditions,
if you're a pregnant woman, and those sorts of things heat waves.
Of course, the government and the climate controllers, they want us all to
growl and growls about how the temperatures are on the rise and we've got to
do something about it, Like no more a gas stove in America. Yep,
we got to get rid of those damn gas stoves. What are they?
What's the because they always government in California always leads the way in ridiculous
stuff, right, so they don't want fossil fuels, but now they still
use fossil fuels to produce the energy that it would take for an electric stove.
And there was actually some pushback, and this is something I think a
lot of people haven't even thought about yet. But it is not as good
to cook on a gas stove or excuse me, as an electric stove as
it is a gas stove. And so one of the big pushbacks it no,
it's much more difficult. One of the pushbacks was from Jose Andres,
who is a celebrity chef who opened a restaurant up in San Francisco and he
was told he couldn't put in a gas stove, and he flipped out and
started calling everybody that he knew, made a huge rucas about this, and
so finally he got a special okay from the government saying okay in this restaurant,
because the celebrity restaurant, we can will allow him to have a gas
stove, but everybody else suffers, and so how is that fair he just
because he's got the pull. I don't want an electric stove. I hate
them. I mean, I don't hate him, but I don't want one.
Don't like him. I have an electric stove. I had gas where
I was. The house that I built in the late nineteen seventies had a
gas stovehead, gas everything. I put gas into this house when I moved
in in the twenty fifteen for heat converted, because I think it is much
better in many ways, and certainly not as expensive as electricity. But yeah,
as the mania continues to especially if Biden's in, and I say that
not loving it. It's as an observer, I wish it were different.
I would like him to do well. I've always wished him well, as
I wish Trump well. I wish him all well. What the country well,
exactly what I want. No matter who's sitting in the White House.
The country should be our priority, and it never is. Nope, it's
always the ego of these people and whatever their causes are. So anyway,
heat related illnesses things that, and you can get heat stroke if you will
extreme heat temperatures like that can be more deadly than in the winter, people
getting frozen. You know, the cold affects us a lot the warmth.
So what are we looking for moderation? Where can we go? Let's go
to Mars. I'll bet the weather is great on Mars, right, maybe
not. The term heat wave was born back in the sixteen hundreds and it
originated here in America. Heat wave killed twelve hundred people in eightm nineteen eighty.
It was the worst summer on record for heat, having a direct impact
on the lives of all these people. In Chicago in nineteen ninety five,
the killer heat wave there killed seven hundred people. And if we fast forward
to the latest, the most recent heatwave in Europe, there were fifty thousand
people who died. See Europe, England remember this back in two thousand and
three, England and France. Oh, how to cool themselves very well?
Over there there, they don't have air conditioning because it doesn't get that odd.
They don't really like ice, they don't really like air conditioning. Or
well, anyway, we're we we have it and hopefully we can. I
couldn't. It couldn't work over there. One ice cube in my in my
ice cut come on, there you go. So are you taking the risk
today of moving to a new Uh? Actually, this weekend, my daughter
and my son in law and my grandson are getting all packed up because they're
moving this week to a new houseover in mar Vista. And I would buy
it was the cutest little place. I would have grabbed it myself, kind
of known that it was available. Anyway, It's nice to have something to
look forward to. So look forward to having a good weekend, spend time
of your family, don't worry about crime and all of the other stuff.
Speaking of crime, the Oath Keepers founder Stuart Rhodes has been sentenced to eighteen
years in the slammer for the conspiracy of January sixth. Jennifer, I don't
know much about this guy. Frankly, I've never heard of him either,
to be honest, and I follow this stuff all the time. Yeah you
do. I don't even know what to say. I mean, if he
did it and that's the punishment, okay, then I guess it's justice cares
the longest to punishment handed down. That's what I'm saying, is that eighteen
years seems a bit excessive because I live in a state of California, where
you can murder someone and you can begin and out of prison in about four
months. And I just I don't know how this really helps anybody, because
it just does not feel like our justice system is on an equal playing field
for a moment. It's nice, doesn't feel that way because it isn't.
Yeah, there's too much leniency, especially in certain part so the country.
There's too much difference in frankly across the whole country. And I want to
compare this to the time before the Civil War because it isn't that bad.
But the tone, the anger that's displayed by people, because there's such the
feelings that have been amassed are so strident and so different on both sides of
the coin. So anyway, this guy, he's said after he was sentenced,
he said, quote, I'm a political prisoner like Trump. My only
crime is opposing those who are destroying our country. I don't think that.
I don't think that flushes at all. I don't think that carries the day.
I think that these people were way out of control. I don't know
whether again they deserve eighteen ye some the Justice Department wanted twenty five years for
this guy, and it's still it's a lot. Yep. All right,
let's see here from the Crime and Punishment Log today, one of the two
inmates who escaped from an Ohio prison has been caught. An inmate convicted of
murdering two people, however, is still at large. These guys got out
on Tuesday, and they I guess in Alima, Ohio. There's I don't
remember this from being in Ohio. I'm sort of a buck guy. I
went to school there, the Alan Oakwood Correctional Institution. Don't know that much
about it. You never were hanging out there, No, I never did,
as a matter of fact, while the rumors say that you were.
That's weird, really, and that's sweet, thank you. Anyway, So
the police department said, if you see either inmate, do not approach them.
What this is Ohio. It sounds like a California thing, but yeah,
exactly. Anyway, they would say, oh, if you see the
inmate, just make sure you let him in the house and cook him dinner,
give him, make sure you give him a nice neck massage before you
let him lay down, right exactly. So one of these guys is a
double murder remember the double murder team. The other guy was involved in some
stuff that this the one guy murdered a man and a woman got sentenced to
thirty two years to life. I wouldn't have given him thirty two years to
life and given him life and throw the key away. And I'm wondering how
good or how secure this prison is. I didn't never heard of it,
and I've heard a lot of you know, living in Ohio for four years,
you'd know your way around a little bit. So these people were discovered
missing during a prisoner account and so the Ohio State patrols like one two,
Yeah, let's start in one minute. So yeah, right, Okay.
The Personality Award this week goes pretty much as usual to Marjorie Taylor Green.
She was out of Congress the other day because she asked the it was kind
of funny, may have some decorum in the house. She also spent what
do we know about her and her life? Where she comes from? How
does she come up with a hundred grand? Yeah? I know, but
I think this was a joke. And so as I've been trying to figure
this story out, because there was a story floating around that in some sort
of auction. Yeah, Marjorie Taylor Green spent one hundred thousand dollars on a
used tube of chapstick that was used by Kevin McCarthy. Correct, that is
the story, and I've heard that the chapstick wasn't really used and they were
just joking around I don't know where in the heck. And then somebody said,
well, the money wasn't a joke. I don't know what exactly is
going on here, but it would be hard pressed to wonder how Marjorie Taylor
Green has got one hundred thousand dollars to bid on chapstick. I just got
to be some kind of joking elements, unless somebody is feeding her that stuff.
She's said quote after she got a My constituents will be honored because part
of the winnings here is to host a special visit with Speaker McCarthy, who
we all think is doing a great job, don't we. Yeah, actually
I do, And I can't believe actually he's not bad critic of Yeah,
I know, actually I was not. Didn't have big expectations, but I
think he's holding Biden's feet to the fire. And there are all these people
who are saying that, oh, we don't get just done by next week.
Everything we're going into the can, and what do you do if with
your money if we go into default. We're not going into default. It'll
be fixed one way or another, maybe not to all of our satisfactions,
and maybe that's a good in a manner of speaking. If none of us
are satisfied, it's probably a good deal. If neither side likes the deal,
that's probably go yeah exactly. So anyway, I just I find myself
whenever I see her name, I go right to the story. Isn't that
funny? Yeah, because you've you've written a playing with her. But there's
something about her that I find intriguing, frankly, and I've made that fairly
clear. I just think there's something about her that is, well, we
all know she's different, but arms and you lay yeah, okay, well
there you go. There it is that settles and solves the whole mystery right
there. So it's great business time for Caldron. I would think the phones
would be ringing off the hook and people will be ordering nauseum. That's right.

one of the great Calatron consultants at toplows dot com. It's time for us
to review what's going on in the world of kardum. Is that a word
kardum? What do you think? Nick Miles is here from our autoexpert dot
com. Is there such a word as your kingdom for a car or cardem
but that category I'm the my kingdom for a car. Yeah, that's not
there's no surprise their friend no surprise there at all. Ford has recalled SUVs,
some of them for a second time to fix the rear camera display.
Four hundred twenty two thousand SUVs, mostly Explorers, Lincoln Aviators, and those
sorts of Lincoln coursayers. I noticed a couple of new Lincoln dealers opening in
my neck of the woods. Is there a resurgence because the guy that I
am very friendly with, who has twenty six dealership says he would known one.
So what's your bottom line on Lincoln's No, I think Lincoln's doing really
well. Actually, there's this need for people who like their Forwards to have
something a little more and a little more luxury. I mean, the Navigator
is the best selling vehicle in its class, had been for a long time,
and then Cadillac came out with the Escalade and just basically swept them off
their feet. So there's this sort of need to have this general family vehicle,
but to have a little more plush leather and better sound system, nicer
wood on the inside. So there is a need for those, and Lincoln
do pretty well. They're also where Forward launch a lot of their new technologies,
especially this new technology where the car looks at the road ahead and sees
a pothole coming up and adjust the wheel to be able to make it so
you don't feel the pothole. So there's quite a bit of new technology getting
released into Lincoln's. There's a space for them. Maybe a little too much
Fifth Avenue, maybe a little too much rose water perfume for me, but
there is a space. So in what I've thought, especially more recently as
I've sat in the big Forward Explorer and then you get into the Lincoln Navigator,
it's the same car, even the ucutremonts inside. You can't really tell
the difference. Maybe you can point out with the differences other than I don't.
I think they're both of them only have a V six. They don't
have an eight cylinder, which is a huge mistake I think for a car
of that size. Where's the public saying? Does the public not care about
the size of the engine, And I think I think you're right that they
do miss them. But with the new technology of combining of an electric motor
to sort of do the lower speeds, you don't really notice it. I
would tell you that the new Forward Raptor with the V six in it is
as good as the last one that had the V eight in it. I
think with trucks and towing, V eights is still going to be a thing,
and diesels still, but I think of cars. With cars, you
don't have to have the so much how you know, so much still in
the space in the vehicle, and you can still get a lot of the
power. But I'd never take them away from big SUVs and trucks. I
think V eights have a place there. I like hitting the accelerator in my
Ranger O yeah, right, and I think there's a lot of people that
do that. Plus, you know, hybrids and electrics don't do well in
towing, and that's one thing the V eight have not been out, just
sort of really replace right. GM has recalled six hundred thousand cars this week
because of car seat safety issues. This is a potential is it overdone to
these things? When you look at the website for the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration, the focus here on the Equinox and the GMC all terrain vehicles is
a latch. That's a problem. Does this stuff get overdone sometimes and it's
kind of overscaring, you know. So here's the deal. We're actually up
about fourteen percent in recalls in the first quarter of twenty twenty three, and
that's a bit troubling to me. But I think during the pandemic, when
a lot of these parts were designed and made, I mean, we're still
using parts that were made during the pandemic. I don't think so much attention
was being paid to a lot of these parts. And I think this is
just a saint watershed from the pandemic, but it is that I'm watching carefully.
The amount of recause is going up. I don't like that we already
were at record recause because there's so much technology in these vehicles, so something
at some point has to give, and reputations are broken on recalls. So
the Geep Cherokee there two hundred and twenty thousand recalls for them this week as
well. Look at this, and they don't have a fix for whatever the
problem is. Water gets into the lift kit. Ever, a friend who's
got a new wagon ear the roof sleaking like a sieve and they don't want
to fix it. So stay away from the new wagon era would seem the
