The Duck Stephen Good Day download with Doug and Jay Kirshner is made possible in
part by Kellatrin, which is the safe way for you to lose weight and
keep it off, and also by Privigen keeping your brain healthy. The Duster
with Jay on Let It Go Day, the Man, the myth, the
legend Yeah step during twenty third Friday, Yep, Let It Go Day.
Thomas and Ruth Roy of Wellcat Holidays and Herbs, the founders of National Let
It Go Day. Let's like the guy who does Let's get ready to rumble,
Let It Go Day, keep it frozen, the song let it Go,
let it Go, let it go, let it go, let it
go, let it go. Oh, let's let us know. Oh,
can't say that on the twenty third of June anyway. They these folks knew
a lot of people live with a burden of situations that quiet eat away.
Right, you have? How much stuff? What do you have that weighs
you down? What secret things are in your life that sends you into a
tailspin. These people thought it was time to create a day to motivate you
to forgive yourself for things that have happened in the past. Let It go.
Worries, cares, fears, let it go. Highlight the ways to
find great things in your life. That sound like Delilah, contentment, peace
in life, but it's true. Regrets aren't doing anything. It's like worrying.
It's a prayer for what you don't want. So don't let yourself be
weighed down. Don't put the burden of every single thing going on around you
on you. Don't let your worries deprive you of those small joys of life.
Yep. Learn how to forgive yourself and maybe forgive others at the same
time. Stop blaming yourself for a lot of stuff that's going on you have
nothing to do with. And beside that, you can't do anything to change
it anyway, because most of the time it's happened and it's gone, like
the rear view mirror, small, windshield big. There's a reason for that.
So move forward in life. Please have a great weekend. Grow this
weekend. Get rid of any bitterness you may have, Get rid of any
guilt that you may have. Allow yourself. Now I sound like Joel Wilstein,
make the most of your life, but it's true. Actually this is
all stuff you know. Sometimes you fake it till you make it. But
you have let's say you have a former business associate, then't get along.
Okay, So former is the important thing. You have a former spouse,
former, right, you have a former friend, former, you have had
all kinds of different things that were a part of your life. Former lead
all right? Is it in between former or er and forma forma former?
This goes back to nineteen seventies when Jimmy Carter was president. He established the
first survey of mental healthcare, the President's Commission on Mental Health. And then
there was in the nineties Congress passing the Mental Health Parody Act, which actually
was the first, surprising the first legislation to add mental healthcare to health insurance
coverage. And then about ten years ago Let It Go Day was started by
the folks Thomas and Ruth Roy and a couple of years ago the first Workplace
Wellness Report was issued. The Health and Mental Health of America not good either.
Mental health in America not good. Mental health needs the same attention that
your physical health needs. It does and it's not like a once and done
or bands that kind of situation. You have to different root causes. A
lot of times trauma responses and then continued work at things. Yep, that's
it. So let's think about that as you go through your day today.
Will you think also about O'Reilly Autoparts bringing you this part of the program all
your car care needs, get the parts in the service you need from the
pros at OOO O'Riley. You have a visit from Nick Miles, our auto
expert later on today. So here's something that you can wrap yourself around.
The story of an eight year old boy who found a World Series Championship ring
during his first outing going to an astro's game, and he got it back
to the person who lost it. How about that? Isn't that amazing?
Yeah? Ronaldo Munyas, worked at Minuteman Park for twenty three years, said
he took off his championship ring after washing his hands in the bathroom. He
was distracted by a call for assistance in the stadium, so he just rushed
out and they left the ring in the bathroom and he's thinking, this is
lost, It's gone. I'm never going to see it again. Yes,
because most times if somebody sees this or finds it, they are probably going
to take it home with it. Sadly, very unfortunately. Yeah, here's
an eight year old kid named Nay de Vallos who spotted the ring, and
so what does he do with it? He presents his to a dad and
the family saw a social media post. Then it had gone viral about the
man losing his ring, and so what they do. They bring this back
to the park and they give it to I guess that they found the daughter
of the fellow who lost it, right, that's maybe she's the one who
posted, because her dad would be Yeah, everybody, anybody who had one
of these things, I wouldn't want to lose something like this, would you
know? What? This is? The exercise that does bring you around to
getting more value out of this is to think what it is that you have
that you don't want to lose. Take your family, your children, the
loved ones in your life out, a thing that you don't want to lose.
What do you think? What do you have? What's there in your
life that you don't want to lose? Is it a car hard to lose
a car? Is it a watch? Is it a ring? Is it
a necklace? Is it a piece of jewelry? Or is it a book?
Is it? So it's you know we've all got something in our lives
picture, right, some kind of material object that means so much more than
it's not even about the object itself. It's so much more than that who
gave it to you? Like my daughter is great at giving me at things
that I really cherish, but both of them they've cherished I have, but
it's not I cherished my two grandchildren. But I don't think that's what we're
looking for. We're looking for a thing, an object that you celebrate,
you love, all right, So there it is our social Facebook and Instagram
at good Day radio show, Twitter, good Day on air, if you
please, so we all know by now the subsearch has ended and they are
all dead. This is a sad reality, but something that is it's it
is really reality. It's so tragic and the thought of when they're not sure
exactly when the unplosion happened, but more than likely when they lost the connection.
But they've had but they've done this before. This is not the first
time that said went down to look at there right, oh exactly, and
a couple other times it lost it, lost connection and it ended up being
fine. So that's probably why they didn't think too much about it until the
sub didn't resurface. But at the same time, and just just walk with
me through this one. If your loved one is in a situation like that
and perishes, is it a little bit better to know that they died instantly,
never suffered, never had any fear of being trapped, being stranded like
they might die as the world kind of thought was happening. We thought that
they were stranded waiting for oxygen to run out or be rescued. Now they
were killed. They were killed in exactly. So is that one of those
things to know that your loved one never suffered, that they were gone before
the brain even recognized the implosion was happening. The nineteen year old was scared
out of his mind before he went, and he probably should not have gone.
I'm not sure why he was sunker, but he told I think his
grandmother. He was just so full of fear. So I would think that
anybody would be full of fear, even when done at numerous times. Yeah,
No, he told his aunt that's who it was. Who was not?
His aunt said that he was. He had expressed hesitation about going.
Now here's another one of these perilous circumstances. Remember the story earlier this week
from Mexico that luxury hotel it's owned by Hyatt that were these people these tourists
died. Now they've closed, they've suspended operations at the hotel after this California
couple had died. They suspect gas inhalation. This sort of reminds me of
Legionnaire's disease in Philadelphia, which was what twenty five thirty maybe thirty five years
ago. So this is the same kind of thing. This guy, forty
one year old John Heathco and his girlfriend Abby Letts were there. They were
found dead, and so why was it only them? I would ask that
question. Right, Well, it seems like that's been happening a lot at
different results. Yeah, where it'll be just one room seems to have this
issue with their ac or there's some kind of gas poisoning essentially, you know,
one of the things that people don't think about. Perhaps you might when
you get a hotel room. Don't get a hotel room. I sort of
think about this when I make a reservation. I want windows that open,
I don't want When you know Malala hotels, the newer ones, they don't
have the ability you don't. You can't open the windows. They're all sealed
and the only way you get air into the room is through the ac and
so if that malfunctions, you know, you're not going to stay in the
room. You're gonna go to the management and say, hey, I need
another room. But by the same token, it's not It's something that most
people don't think about. They don't oh my goodness, Yeah, what am
I gonna do here? Or do I? Yeah, you don't stay in
a room that is sealed, seals shut. They do that, they say
for efficiency purposes. No, don't stay there. That would be my suggestion.
I don't know whether I would consider a Rod Stewart discussion about way back
when, but he has been around for a long time. So what's he
going to do? What's it all about, Alfie? Or maybe what's it
all about? Rod? What do you want to do? You think I'm
sexy? I never have been. I've said this, I think maybe a
long time. Maybe I'm extremely critical of these skinny rockers who get all the
girls. Maybe that's what the deal is. What if people seeing in the
Rolling Stones these guys are walking dead and Rod Stewart is the same, He's
seventy eight years old, and he looks like he's never had I'm going away
from Hamburgers to ice cream Sundays. Just how do you do all of the
you know, from one we're one night to the next night, the next
night, out there all the time doing shows two three hours anyway, as
Stewart has been asked by some of his fans what he's going to do,
and he says, I will never retire. I want to make more hit
songs. He's actually making a new swing album right now. And he said,
quote, I'd like to clear up and he confused us that I may
have caused when my with my fans and the news media. I shall never
retire. I was put on this earth to be a singer and I will
keep doing so for as long as the Good Lord lets me. Yeah,
that'll be fun a swing album from Rod Stewart. Yeah, next year sometime,
but hey, that's great. So he's got tours scheduled in England,
here in America, down in South America, and then coming back to Vegas
next year. He said that he wants to leave the rock and rolled stuff
behind for a while. That's why he's doing this album. That's Okay,
so you're growing up a little swing here and there be nice to have some
of that. Well, I love the brass from the swing year of the
forties, and so he wants the fans to know he still loves to sing
the hits. Can't turn my back on this. I was kind of like
very Manilow right in the same way. They create lots of great music and
people want to hear him sing. Whenever you go to a concert, don't
you want to just I want to hear the hits. I don't want to
hear something new that I don't know, maybe one or two, Yeah,
I don't. I don't like when they something just was just released or there's
something that's not yet been released. But I do want to hear some stuff
that's not on the radio that I love that they don't typically perform. There
are a lot of artists that have, you know, be hits as a
sing or. Everybody knows him, so anyway you're safe have you're a Stewart
fan, he's a Okay, I am Robert Strickler. My wife Joyce and
I have been married for fifty three years. Certainly one of the really important
things in my life are our children and our grandchildren. I am essentially a
writer. I've been involved in communications in the media. I've been an avid
fly fisherman for at least forty or more years. I've been taking privilege in
on a regular basis for at least eight years. For me, the greatest
benefit over the years has been that Privigen seems to help me recall things and
also think more clearly, have a crisper ability to remember and think through things.
And I enthusiastically recommend privig and it has helped me an awful lot.

the second full day of summertime, twenty third of June. It's Friday.
We have all of things that will happen over the weekend. You can hear
a lot of things like the American Family Farmers Show that has produced by me
and my team, and you can also hear Our Health programs with Jack Stockwell
and Ken kronos As are also available on most of the same stations to carry
the Good Day program along with the talk Radio Countdown show the most talked about
stories and people on talk radio for this week. And I don't think it's
going to be a surprise. Most of the time, it's not really a
surprise what's on that list if you're follower listening. Some of the things are
somewhat redundant and repetitive, because that's the way sometimes. And I this is
like me eating my young I suppose the same stuff keeps being talked about on
the radio by the same people in the same way, over and over and
over and over and over. When we look at the people in the news
and the stories in the news, well a lot of those top stories include
the same people. Yeah. Well, there's also and I don't mean this
to sound caddy, but there are people who phone it in and they always
want to talk about the same things. They sound the same way. They
listen to. A couple of the people that are on the top of the
list, Mark Levin. I think it is probably the one most people take
from Frankly because he has an organization that it does a lot of the research
and discusses or gives hosts topical things. And so that's why a lot of
the talk radio stuff, the right wing stuff, is the same stuff over
and over and over again, because that people who do it are getting those
same information from the same people. So having said that, let us move
into something to start your day with. This is something to be This is
our sort of positive thought for the day, maybe one of many. The
following quote you can take with you and you don't have to give anybody credit,
just think it through yourself. This comes from Emily Griffith says, I
think it's important to try to be present with whatever it is you're doing,
and if you can't be present, take a break. That's right. So
back to whatever it is. If you're doing what I'm doing for a living,
you can't just phone it in. If you are an exercise coach,
you can't phone that in. If you're a car mechanic, you can't vote,
you can't phone that in. If you're good at your job, you
don't you don't want to. Maybe the key here, though, is jay
to take or break when you need one. There's a lot of as we
were pointing out in the last half hour, stress and anxiety and the regrets
that we have that we ought not to carry with us. So and whether
it's work related stress or whether it's family related stress, whatever it is,
the demands sometimes exceed your ability to cope and perform. So don't calm down,
right, be well, train your mind for peace and purpose. I
love that. Right. It's easier said than done that song, don't worry,
be happy, And maybe that's the thing that we carry with us through
today. I can give you some of these things. I'm here to help
you, and Jay's here to help you. We're interested in solutions from some
of the things you have gold and you may not be achieving them. Some
simple things like making a cake? Right, how are you at making cakes?
Some of the things. I was just thinking, how wonderful this time
of year is, because the grapes are so sweet and tasty, and the
cherries are so great, and the raspberries and the blueberries and the blackberries all
really for pies, oh fabulous and cakes. I ever had a BlackBerry cake?
Yeah? No, but I'm not a berry Yeah, I'm not ry.
Well, I don't period. But as far as the fruits I do
like. I don't like cooked fruits. Huh, give them apples. Love
apples, but not in an apple pie. I like that. I'm an
apple every single day in my life. And it's something maybe that it's the
old expression on an apple a day keeps the doctor away. In Denmark,
they're celebrating the opening of their first dinosaur museum, shipping over the largest dino
skull ever found a ten foot long dome that belonged to a russ Say yeah,
okay, good for wait six and a half times. I actually,
you know, I would think I'm gonna have to put this. I'm gonna
put a circle around this, because when my grandson gets a little older,
I think I'll take him on a trip to Denmark to the Museum of Evolution.
Yeah on display, yep, big Joe, they call him, right,
So they've had I'm just taking a long time to put all this stuff
together. As you can imagine, this is the first museum for dinosaurs in
Denmark. But as we have mentioned many times, the dinosaurs were all over
the planet. It wasn't just here in certain places or in South America in
certain places. They were everywhere, and so these fossils are everywhere, and
so if you want to see three hundred million years of evolutionary history, then
you check out the Museum of Evolution in Denmark to see the Torosaurus. And
so you go, let's go back seventy million years apparently at the peak of
the dinosaur world, before the unfortunate occurrence that destroyed everything that lived on the
planet sixty five million years ago. And you know what, talk about what
we were saying, the solution to worrying about the planet coming to an end
because there are those things floating around all over the place that hit the planet
sixty five million years ago. People that we're gonna get it again. Well
maybe we will, and we don't. We kind of feel like duh,
yeah, right exactly. Yep, speaking of dah Ralph Reed. Do you
know who Ralph Reed is? No? I do not, Okay, so
maybe you check him out. For those of you who are younger, you
may not remember this guy. He's one of the most one sided individuals.
Has gained a great deal of traction and did during the Reagan years and before
that. He's getting a little long on the tooth. He's the founder of
a group called Faith and Freedom it's a coalition of very right wing thinkers.
He wants to push people in the in the House of Representatives, especially towards
stronger abortion restrictions. They're having their upcoming I think the conferences this week or
next week, Frank. But and he's all about trying to cow people into
this position, because that's what I think is. I think we, the
men of the world, have to control and women certainly have this idea,
but it's always the men who make the most noise about this. And I'm
not the first person to point that out for sure. But he's going to
beat the drum as he always has with his political influence, and he says
the cost of the anti abortion stance on any politician will be severe. In
other words, if you don't agree with us, we're going to get you.
And you know, that's a free country, sort of as free as
it used to be, but it's kind of free, right And so this,
by the way, I think today's the anniversary, isn't it of the
of the overturning of Rob Wade? I think it is, yes, Yes,
I think it is. Yeah. So he refers to himself, Rat
Freed, excuse me, refers to himself as an evangelical Christian. And maybe
that's why this noise is being heard today, because of all the people that
are getting together to buoye the stance, if you will. I'm sure Trump
will show up there, and I'm sure we're onto Santis will show up there,
and I'm sure Mike Pencils show up there, and Tim Scott will show
up there. Maybe Chris Christie it'll show up as well. And so we
have more you'll on Monday. I'm sure that we'll be talking about more of
this stuff, because I think it is this weekend that's going on. I'm
not putting it down. I just I think that we have a lot of
people that want to cow. I feel pardon my cows. I hope are
not offended by the reference to being cowed, but being cowed into into you
know, thinking that nobody anybody who thinks differently than us. Nope, they're
wrong. I'm right and you're wrong. You know what, That's very seldom
the case. Nobody's always right and nobody's always wrong. It's kind of like
things are circumstantial, right. It's twelve o'clock twice a day anyway, all
right, So what's the story here with Elon Musk and his gender. Yeah,
I know there's a couple of things floating around about Musk. You're right
about that. So as the controller of what seems to be what, he's
got his own social media platform now that he owns Twitter, so he has
he spends a lot of time, apparently trying to figure out I would think
that a guy like him would have better things to do with his time,
but apparently not. So I don't And I note, I note that I
don't know the CIS and cis gender stuff. He says, there's slurs.
I don't even know what they are. Am I out to lunch here on
this? What is that? Cis gender is the definition of a person who
has a gender identity that matches their sex assign at birth. Okay, so
is this something that cis gender and cis are now considered slurs and will not
be tolerated on Twitter? And how is that? How are they a slur?
That's a good question. Okay, more nonsense? In other words,
it is it's nonsense, Well, it is, it's nonsense. All of
this stuff about you know, binary and whether you're a boy or a girl
at thirteen, and you know, First of all, it's none of my
business. I don't want to know. I don't care to know. I
don't need to know or what you're If you have a gender identity thing,
good express it any way you want to. I'm not going to be judgmental.
I just don't care. I know who I am, I know who
the people are there are around me, and so what's the big deal one
way or another? I think the only thing that I have objection to pay
attention to are people who want youngsters who are twelve and thirteen years old to
try to define their there and they're pushing them into defining sexuality their own sexuality.
I think that's more than wrong. All right, So, speaking of
Elon Musk, apparently they're going to hold a cage match he and Mark Zuckerberg.
That's that's a question. Yeah, if this is really happening or not.
Apparently they're already shirts out there that have them kind of what do you
mean, like your ultimate fighting thing in a cage? That's what it seems
like. We'll see what this actually happens. Inger's crossed. Oh yeah,
right exactly. So it's great business time for Calidron. I would think the
phones would be ringing off the hook and people will be ordering nauseum. That's

Here, one of the great Caldron consultants at toploss dot com, wheeling
down the road with Nick Miles from our autoexpert dot com. He's here to
discuss what's going on in his treehouse. I think will be We usually spend
a little time time about electric vehicles. The focus on electric cars may have
gotten off to a slow start. Autotrader, though, feels this will be
the year electric vehicles hit the one million sales mark here in our country.
As they continue to gain more and more market share, evs can no longer
be ignored, so says Rich Rosario in the know, I'm Rich Rosario.
The business of evs, or electric vehicles, is booming, and consumer interest
in evs has increased dramatically this year. EV sales grew from below one percent
in twenty eighteen to over seven percent in the first quarter of this year.
Brian Moody, executive editor for Autotrader, has more More and more shoppers are
looking for new electric cars, trucks, and SUVs, and automakers are continually
developing and introducing new EV models as interest continues to grow. That's why Autotrader
created its list of the best electric vehicles of twenty twenty three. The list
is for true evs only, no hybrids and nothing over one hundred thousand dollars.
To compile our list, the team and I drove and live with these
vehicles every day. We sorted out the good from the bad, and eventually
we ended up with autotraders ten best electric Vehicles of twenty twenty three. To
see the list, including pricing details, photos, additional vehicle information and available
inventory, visit autotrader dot com. All right, so might is accounted to
that, say Nick and I are not too sure about electric vehicles. We
all know that they are. They capture the media's attention. But then you've
come up with a list of problems. Actually, the reports from JD Power.
How did JD Powder Power get to be such a powerhouse? Have your
pardon the pun? In tracking people's attitudes toward products? They do it because
they're annoying, Doug. Every time you get okay, thousand emails from these
guys to tell them you know, and you usually ignore the first five hundred
ninety nine, and then occasionally you might fill half a survey out. But
they managed to ask a lot of people a lot of questions, and the
results are always kind of interesting. The one thing that blew me away this
year is the fact that cup holders have become a huge problem, and that's
because of exactly right. You think something so simple could could have been solved
so easily many years ago. But with the inventor, you know, these
new wireless charges that are coming out for your phone, they put them right
where the cup holders used to go, and then you you have no where
to put your your your drinks. Plus they seem to talk about this,
don't drink while you're driving. Well, that's the problem. But we use
cup holders for everything, right, I put my phone in it in it
sometimes I closed mine. I don't like them there in the way. A
lot of people change in there and yeah, that but there in the wrong
place now because of these wireless and then the wireless charges don't work either,
so everybody's complaining that I stick my phone on it when I get in the
car so it's charged, and I get to where I'm going two hours later
and there's half a percent of charge. They're in general, more problems in
new cars now than there were last year or the year before. Are they
mounting each year? Yeah, And I think it's because there's there's lots of
reasons, but the biggest reason is people are over complicating things. Door handles
don't have to come out, spin flash and do a small dance just so
you can open that. You know, those were a very simple thing back
in the day, but they're making them so complicated now. You know,
they have to pop out of the car. They have to do that minus
two hundred degrees and just give me something that I can open my car door
with. I don't need all this stuff. And so you know, they
go wrong when you put so much technology into them and the results, well,
people complain about it, and as they should. Well, yeah,
the zoom out stuff. I think what I've noticed from Tesla is that seems
to be one of their They love that they look at our cars. You
can't everything's flush until it doesn't work, and then you can't get into the
car. So I noticed that the looking at the JD Power survey that the
the Chrysler brands Dodge is Alfa Romeo in that same company now the same huh
yeah, Alfromeo is so yeah, the top is is Dodge ram Um and
Alfa Alfromeo is the number one luxury brand. Who would have thought the Italians
could build a car that works properly? I mean the Arb right, the
bottom is oh and Pull Star and the child Volvo is owned by a Chinese
company. What and they're at the bottom Boo on that I wouldn't buy Volvo
to save my life. Don't buy a the next Stephen Good Day with Doug
