and keep it off. April Total Solar Eclipse. Are you going to watch
that? This thing is getting to be more of a buzz. If there's
anything that has gained attention that might be able to distract from talking about Trump
and Biden, it's this eclipse and the number of people each city. Now
as I understand it, you can correct me about Cleveland, but each city
that's in the path has an airplane, at least one airplane, maybe more,
loaded with people who are going to be up in the air watching this
thing as it takes place, even though it's only what four and a half
minutes for the complete cycle to be You know, the sun goes behind the
moon, or the moon goes in front of the front of the Sun,
just at the right spot in this path that comes from me, so actually
from the lower Pacific across Mexico and up through Texas and right through the It
kind of makes sense because there's so many there are already so many scheduled flights
anyway that would be people already in the air I know, is it Delta
Win Airline has a one flight specifically to follow the path. Well, I
think all of them are doing it in various cities. That's an Atlanta flight.
I think Boeing Boeing Delta is setting up a seven sixty seven that's loaded
with the people. But I think that there are other cities along the way,
like in Dallas. I think Americans doing one. I think in Cleveland,
United is doing one. Saint Louis, I'm not sure about that.
I don't know it. That's not the kind of thing that Southwest does in
the other major carrier in Saint Louis. But well, fas also warning of
anybody who's supposed to travel that day expect Alais. They are already expecting that
they're going to be some serious delays during the eclipse, that there are going
to be a lot of drones in the skies that will serve things. Yep,
that'll be fun. So if you are interested in the science of this,
you'll be happy to know that there's a call out for people all across
the country that are in the path to help NASA observe the effects of this.
What is it probably this is the biggest natural wonder of the year,
isn't it? And you get right down to it, the total eclipse of
the Sun on April eighth. People inside can sign up to take part in
four different projects, from watching animal behavior to trying to take a picture of
the Sun's corona. There is also a I thought this is interesting. They're
looking for people that actually record the sounds gape of the eclipse. I don't
even begin to understand what that, but there are projects, yeah, that
are doing that in Indiana and in your state of Ohio. Well, we
experienced it when we lived in Tennessee back in what was it, I think
twenty seventeen. Because there is a total so there is a total eclipse that
takes place every eighteen months. That's how often it is. But Earth is
so massive that for it to go the same path, I mean, it's
like every four hundred years. Yeah, But we happen to be a Nashville
one when the last one was there, and it was an experience the way
it just goes completely in tonight. But all of the animals start going crazy
because they are so confused. They think it's nice. It's really like it
is silent, like it just goes. So there's a whole silent and then
it gets really loud. Right, So there's this whole experiment that observes animals
in zoos that are in the path of the eclipse, and as you are
suggesting, a lot of the animals change their behavior. Some of it becomes
extreme, very noisy. So this is the Solar Eclipse safari dot org,
which you can follow either by going to that website or going to the NASA
site and they'll send you a solar Eclipse safari dot org. Doesn't interfere with
your experience, but it will help those people who are trying to collate the
information about how animals, as we are just suggesting, react inside a confined
area like a zoo. And so anyway, this is kind of a neat
thing. If you're interested in volunteering again, you can go to Solar Eclipse
safari dot org and report back what do they do? Do they look to
the sky, do they group together, did they get ready for sleep or
do they wake up? The cows on my farm will all huddle together,
because that's what they do in circumstances that are different. They all get together
and they just huddle that and as I said, the photography, the NASA
folks want pictures of this, especially when this is the corona, the totality
of it all. It's the this. Actually I didn't realize this all right,
If I did, I don't remember the birthplace of solar wind, which
is the stream of particles that flows from the Sun that comes to the Earth.
You know how we have solar sometimes flaars and it interferes with our broadcast.
For example, it gets in the way of it because it messes with
the waves, the radio waves anyway, four and a half minutes, and
yeah, I think there'll be sort of so many movies that people will take
of this too, right, and those will be if you want, send
them to NASA, and they'll they'll if you're I think if you're in an
open space versus being in a forest. I don't know why that makes a
difference, but I've read somewhere that it does. Ham radio operators, man,
this would be a nirvana for them, right, if you're a Ham
radio operator and you're well, first of all, the corona of the Sun
may interfere with the Ham operation. There's a whole thing on one of the
NASA pages about ham Radio the Science Citizen Investigation Group, and they want you
to to listen, send and receive signals one another as a just an experiment
to see what happens when the corona changes its sort of definition. Does that
make sense? I think? Yeah, okay, all right. So I
also want to tell me people are going to miss it be able to see
it, but are going to miss it because they're trying to capture it on
video or film and they're like amateur alotographers, not not professionals that they don't
have the right equipment. They're gonna they're going to end up burning their eyes,
like looking directly at this time. Yeah, yeah, safe, Okay,
here's something to look out for. There's a there's a call out from
the folks at my pillow, and I said I would engage in this conversation.
My pillow has hundreds of they've just announced this week and you'll hear this
probably another radio programs as well, hundreds of products and there are if you
look at the catalog you look in there, this my god, there's so
many different things in their bathroobes and and they go anywhere pillows and blankets and
pajamas and comforters, you name it. It's all there right now. You
would like to have maybe any number of these things at an extravagant price.
Anything that's in the My Pillow catalog is twenty five dollars this week. I
think I don't know how long this is going to last as supplies, you
know how they say in the commercials, while supplies last, all right?
Two pack multi use my Pillows twenty five dollars, My Pillows sandals twenty five
dollars. Six pack of towels twenty five dollars. Four pack dish towels.
You guessed it, twenty five dollars. This is the first time they've ever
done this. Premium my Pillows twenty five dollars. Go to my pillow dot
com and use DS. That's the code d S at MyPillow dot com.
What are you interested in? What are your interests when it comes to social
media? We've got it all tapped in here. The fans of Billie Eilish,
who is interested in clarifying some of her comments that have not fallen on
welcome ears, criticizing artists and why is she doing that? She's I remember
the last time we talked about her with any seriousness when it was the James
Bond thinks she was like eighteen. Now she's twenty two, growing up and
fast, but she has a little bit of a lesson to learn, it
would seem, I guess, depending on how you interpret some of the things
that she's been saying. So all right, So I've had mixed feelings about
Billie Eilish, but I yeah, because I thought she was a little precocious.
But there's no no, no denying that she's very smart, very talented,
and I kind of like when she got the award whatever, it was
a Grammy. I think I liked Herry. The two of them, the
brother and her together is a good energy phase. Yeah, she they earned
their second Oscar because they got their first Oscar with the James Bond theme and
then what does their song from the Barbie film? Yeah? All right,
So she said it was wasteful for stars to sell various pressings and packagings of
their records. She doesn't seem to be a fan or she said she wasn't
singling anybody out moments on social media and talking about how wasteful it is.
And she's very big on sustainability, and a lot of people because the biggest
artist, one of the biggest artists, Taylor Swift, does that, and
a lot of people were like, she's singling Taylor Swift out all of this
this stuff, And Billy Eilish had to make another statement saying she's not singling
anybody out. Multiple artists do it, and she even owned up. She's
like, I used to do it. It's just it's unsustainable. It's something
that needs to be done. But the reality is so many artists do do
it. They are kind were re releasing variants of their new vinyls, which
is in Billie Eilish, this is naivete speaking. Yeah, but you know
what, how much of this stuff there are plenty of problems with plastic in
this we're not just our society but in the world. But maybe this comes
from a guy who is a disc jockey that played records for nine or ten
years, so I have that in my gut my experience. But also this
is not a one use thing. Vinyl gets used over and over, Records
get played over and over and over again. It's not like you have a
drink from a bottle or you have plastic stuff that brings you bring home with
your grapes in. There's a difference, and I think that's part of being
young and inexperienced and not worldly. That would be no. What about the
five the same album, five of the exact same album. The only difference
is each album has one bonus track, one individual bonus track, and you
can only get that bonus track on one of the albums. Yeah, so
you get that, you take that one album and anyway, I think you
get my drift here. But I think it's good that she expressed herself because's
good for conversation like we've just had here. April, April Love, April
Rain, April. What does April stand for with you? When you think
about it? What impact does April have on you? Jay? It stands
between me and my birthday, that's what it does. Trying to get into
May. Yeah, in May, amazed? I do like April. Yeah,
like aprilt on Mother's Day. Yeah, I'll text you, I'll text
you, hey, good morning. Today's historical facts about Jay. All right,
So how many people that care? By the way, that would be
a good question. What's your favorite April song? And what does it mean?
Maybe more I don't care about favorite songs. Actually, but what does
April mean to you? What is the impact of April on you? Is
make you happy? More people happy than sad because especially April. Yeah,
it's spring, even though spring officially starts in March. April is like,
okay, you are in spring. Flowers are blue, but they are pretty
if you're not allergic to them. But I think that a lot of people
is like things like you, Doug. Things are warming up, and now
one more stop until summer farm time. It's great if we can stop the
rain. We got three days of rain coming this week. I was talking
to your father yesterday and he said it was raining there yesterday. Well,
that rain's moving into the northeast today. We had a lot of rain here.
I wasn't around last week, but I know things got muddy and they
dry out pretty quickly. But still it's let's dry it out so we can
get some seeds in the ground and watch things grow. There's nothing that children
are more curious about than watching things grow. There's a sense I am watching
my second grandson, who's not will be three in November, is getting very
curious. He's very adventurous and he's learning, like instead of walking around the
backyard at his house. He runs around and we were out last Saturday.
He hit a little crack and the cement and went down and has scraped his
elbow and his arm. And he looked at me, he looked at his
father, and not until he realized we were both looking at him and we're
concerned about him, did he start crying. He looked around what just happened
to me? And then realize, oh, it hurts maw No. But
anyway, what I'm saying, yeah, very serious stuff for a youngster,
But there are lots of things that happen in April that are just great things.
You allow yourself to enjoy the month and life in general, because it's
like a rebirth. And that's my philosophical overview for this hour of the Good
Day Program, although there may be some philosophy in my overview of the Florida
State Supreme Court upholding the fifteen week abortion ban. So now there's going to
be a six week ban, I guess right. This is part of the
controversy. This is real controversy upholding the state's fifteen week abortion ban, which
has been challenged by any number of groups in court. I think the State
Supreme court heard arguments last fall, took the case request. This is the
people who want to weigh in on whether the band can be temporarily blocked.
But yeah, there will be a huge vote on this coming November. So
this six week trigger band, which was signed into law by DeSantis, goes
into effect next month, will prohibit the procedure before most women know that they're
even pregnant. Feel like this makes sense when you think about people who are
staunchly against abortion. They are against abortion at no matter how many There are
some people who are against abortion after a certain amount of weeks, but people
who are like, no, abortion is abortion is murder, abortion is bad.
Anybody who feels that way, they feel that way right when conception hits.
So it makes sense they do for them to want the six week abortion
ban because that is technically when you are six weeks pregnant. Most women don't
know until between five and six weeks pregnant. But when you are six weeks
pregnant, you're actually only like three weeks pregnant because the way that it's calculated
is from the first day of a woman's cycle, so you are two weeks
pregnant before you're actually even pregnant. So that's something I didn't know. If
I didn't know it, I didn't think about it. Well, it's controversy
on top of controversy on top of controvert It's one of those things, you
know, abortion, birth control, kind of like a capital punishment. It's
one of the you never get an agreement on it, like what's going on
in the Middle East. You'll never have these sides. I wish you could.
I wish we could. That would be my wish and hope that we
bring ourselves to a peaceful settlement of all of these issues. But human beings
and personalities being what they are, it's you know, not likely. Here's
another case, the Trump hush money case. Trump keeps the hammering on,
talking about the family of the judge and this kind of stuff. He's just
asking for it. I don't know why he doesn't. I do know why,
because he's got this problem and he can't shut the hell up, and
he feels like he has to attack everybody, and so the gag order is
extended. He hasn't a abated, you know, if the judge wants him
to obey it, or if he wants him not to do what he does
then you put him in jail. He's contemptive court, So put him in
jail if you don't want him to talk about that's the only way you're going
to shut him up. He's not going to shut up unless you act.
Threatening him is not going to do any good. Put him in jail.
It isn't what you know. He's not gonna he's not capable of not spouting
off. He just is. This isn't just a Trump thing. This is
like a lot of people are this way. If you tell them to do
something, they will not do it. If you tell them not to do
something, even if they already were planning to not do that thing, but
you tell them not to do that thing, They're now going to do that
thing. Yeah, for the pure fact that you told them not to.
All Right, in Tennessee, the Elvis Act has been put into place.
You know what the Elvis Act is when you're living in Tennessee. They were
working on it. I don't know, but it makes sense because Graceland is
in Memphis. So the fact that there's some kind of something called ELVASAC But
exactly what is it, Well, it was started before AI really became a
thing. But this is the first state in the country that actually has an
acted legislation, and the reason they called it the Elvis Act, this is
ai misuse. So what they're trying to do is ensure the likeness and the
voice and the image of stars like Elvis not be used in some way to
make money that doesn't involve permission from the people who own the image. That
is, yeah, right. So Governor Bill Lee has praised this event,
underscoring the state's dedication to preserve its musical history, rich as it is.
And who better to symbolize this than the Elvis person, right, I mean,
under the circumstances, who's better or known from Tennessee and then Elvis?
Well, yeah, I mean Memphis is iconic with grace and then also who
is more impersonated than Elvis? Right, that's true. Go to Las Vegas.
Every street corner there's an Elvis one way or they'll find them everywhere there.
United Airlines uh oh asking pilots to take time off next month because they
can't get the new Boeing planes that they were promised for the summertime. So
there's a delay because they're trying to figure out what the you know, what
to do. The production has slowed down of seven thirty sevenths for obvious reasons.
So here's the first place where i've seen, you know, an airline
say well, we can't do as much as we thought we were going to
be able to do because we don't have enough planes. So there's a lesson
here. You know what they don't tell you the behind the scenes, And
this comes from a guy who's a plane geek, so I know what they've
done. They've retired a bunch of older planes that they didn't really have to,
but they were the new planes where there's Bowing Airbus whoever makes them.
The engines are much better, so they don't use as much fuel. The
older planes use more fuel. That's why in many circumstances like American, and
I don't getting into the weeds here, but i'll tell you a story.
American had over one hundred and seven fifty sevens and sixty some odd seven sixty
sevens when they went into COVID. They grounded them all. They've just they
they didn't use them during COVID because they used more fuel. So they sold
all the seven forty the seven fifty sevens to Delta. Delta took them to
their shop, if you want to call it that. They foot excuse me,
new energy saving engines on them. They redid the inside of the planes
so they look new and they get another fifteen years out of them, and
they're just as good. I think they're much more comfortable planes, frankly than
the the eight three twenty ones that I go back and forth across the country
in every week or so. But very interesting. They've asked the pilots to
take time off because they don't have enough planes. Huh. They're looking for
one hundred and ninety one new planes this year and they're only need to get
eighty eight, so that'll be interesting. So it's great business time for Caldron.

This is a unique part of the program in which we take not only the
elements that are socially being spread around with focus on trending, usually celebrities,
but also taking apart some of the things that are that sort of go hand
in hand with things that are connected to social media. Like this guy,
Alex Murdau. Remember him. He was sentenced to what forty years in prison
because of financial crimes that he committed using Oh he was already sentenced to what
two life sentences for his wife and one of his children. Right now gets
another forty years because of these crimes. This is quite a stand up guy.
This mister Murtaw right Murdau not a murtaw was in lethal weapons. He's
too old for this stuff. Yes, right, exactly. Yep. Anyway,
so this guy for ten twelve years conducted all kinds of fraud schemes.
This is just a really bad guy. Money intended for some of his firm's
clients went into his own bank account and he's admitted to all this stuff.
So well, what is Apple already going to spend the rest of his life
in prison? But what does this do to help the victims with having this
conviction? Do? Is it like insurance will then give them their money back?
Do they get their money back in some way, shape or form?
Or is this just more time added on to an already entirely lengthy prison sentence.
Yeah, you know it's with him. He's a mental he This isn't
what state is this in? They don't have this, They don't have the
death penalty where this is an example of it. I think it's South Carolina,
isn't it? Is it South Carolina? Yeah? Yeah, it was
one of the Carolina's. This guy should just have been put away, out,
put down. Just a bad just a bad guy, all right.
The story of Lewis Gossip Junior, who this is a trending celebrity name because
he died over the weekend at the age of eighty seven, first black man
to win a supporting actor Oscar. The story, however, goes far deeper.
He was a He walked with Nelson Mandela and was there the day I
actually saw him, because I was lucky enough to be invited to the Nelson
Mandela inauguration. I was. Actually this is not about me, Well,
it is kind of. I was the first American to talk to him on
the radio after he was inaugurated. But what I what I remember was seeing
Lewis Gossett walking with him, and some other Americans were there too, But
it wasn't the showboat guys. It was Gossip and some other I think,
you know, I remember him first from being in Roots, but then he
was in a lot of other things. Perhaps the best known he was in
an Officer and a Gentleman with Richard Gear. He referred to him. There
was there's a line in there, somebody who was in the line when he
was he was in charge of the recruits and somebody's name was Mayo, and
he then referred to him as Mayo. A's uh, why do I remember
that? God knows. But he was very He seemed like a gentle guy,
and that's what the rap is on him. One of the things that
he got involved in. He was arrested once. He lived in Beverly Hills
and he was driving and I think he was I think his car broked.
How something happened, and he was near the police station and he was walking
around and he was arrested because you're not supposed to walk around Beverly Hills after
nine o'clock at night. But it seemed that he was arrested because he was
a black guy walking around Beverly Hills. He was chained to a tree and
handcuffed for three hours. Now, you see this talk about coming face to
face with racism pretty ugly, and he was, but he still kept he
kept his cool. Anyway, he drove away in his rolls Royce Corniche.
After that, God Love Lewis Gossit Junior Oscar winning actor eighty seven years old
