The next 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 privigent keeping your brain healthy. Tursday,
Tuesday is the day which you have found yourself in or upon, as it
were, September the what is the twenty six Yeah, Jay, we've got
the twenty sixth. Hooray, hooray. Is let's you're getting closer and closer
to October. I'll leave that to Jennifer all right, Sorry, may need
a little bit of adjustment there, James to the audio volume was a little
little hot sky. But other than that, we are fine and dandy is
sugar and candy, understanding what the day is about and having a pretty open
and optimistic view to start the hour, the fact that nature is as important
in our lives as it is. We talked about the weather. After all,
the weather is nature, right, Nature is the weather, and weather
is nature. One you can't have like love and marriage, you can't have
one without the other. So let's can we put that to music? Nature
and no, I guess not. I can try. Nature every day paints
a beautiful picture for us like it or not. Imagine looking into those clouds
that seem angry they come before or with a storm. Right, you see
those dark, angry clouds that come before tornado, for example. There's a
beauty in that although you may not see the practical beauty in it, may
not be that it is practically beautiful, but there is a beauty to it.
And pictures what's the old expression, paint a thousand or what is its
pictures thousand words? That's it, right, So if you can just look
around where you are in your space and see the infinite beauty that is there,
you'll probably be a okay. One of the things that a lot of
conservationists have been all worked up about is the depletion of the rhinoceros population.
I know that you probably are in Nja Wames, Oh what's going on with
the rhinos? Well, there has been a surge in population thanks to the
efforts of a lot of people who have paid attention, and I'm it's not
astonishing. At one point in time there were five hundred thousand rhinos in Africa
and some over in Asia as well. And because of the poaching of these
bastards that go around and kill them and use them for trophies, especially in
Africa where it has been well, there's been real prom in Asia too,
but the Africans have allowed this to happen with elephants and rhinos and other species.
So you know, you talk about, well, we've got to do
our best to save all these most of the time, especially with species like
this, it's America. It's Americans. Well it is Americans, but as
human beings who are responsible for the depletion to the point where there are ten
percent as many rhinos around now as there were twenty five years ago. But
the population is increasing because people are more aware of the there's not a danger
in terms of the environment for rhinos. The only environment they have to worry
about is a guy with a gun. Yeah, those trophy hunters. Yeah
right, that's bastard that they shouldn't be allowed to do that. Well they're
not, that's some of them. Yeah, exactly. Well look at it
that way, yes, correct. Amundo powerball jackpot has climbed to eight hundred
thirty five million. Smackarroonies. Nobody got the top prize again yesterday. So
the windless streak, what is the what's what's The problem here too many,
is the the odds too high? One in two hundred and ninety two million.
Well, yeah, the more people that play, the higher it gets
and the higher the odds. Right, four tickets matched the five numbers.
Yeah, so they got a million bucks, which is nothing to sneeze at.
It is just you know, yeah, that's great. It's I mean
that you have that guaranteed where you don't have to split that if no multiple
people get it, you get it, you get it. Okay. So
there are a lot of woozy things going on. Woozy, I like,
there's a word there don't use very often. There was an explosion in New
Jersey yesterday, massive explosion to see this at a home. I led to
five people being taken by air ambulance to the hospitals that are nearby. This
is West Milford, New Jersey. The dispatch police officer got a number of
nine one one calls all of a sudden, and so the fire department obviously
showed up, and the first aid squad showed up, and other people responded
as well. And so the one of the people that lived next door said,
quote, there was this vibration, then there was this shock. It
felt like it was going to push my house over as well, and he
thought it was their own house, their own homes that were exploding, rather
than the neighbors at first. Just the way that that blast was, it
was the propane gas. Well, any gas is dangerous if it's not properly
installed, properly monitored those old time if you have a if you're on the
country and you've got a propane tank, you should check it from time to
time, have somebody to check it because he gets rusty, and especially on
the bottom and where the connections are, there's rust that will affect the security
of the tank. Now, leaking in and of itself isn't going to be
a problem unless there's something there that will cause the gas to explode. That
could be any number of things. But it doesn't explode on its own.
It doesn't just come out of the tank. I'll come home, it doesn't.
That just doesn't. That's not how it works. So you've got to
have something that ignites it. And sometimes I've seen people who had out in
the country, they had these old tanks and lightning would hit and that's a
coupleom that's the end of that. But they're always you know he's seen the
movies. Sometimes there's a scene in one of the Born movies where he's just
beaten up a bad guy and there he wants to get rid of the evidence,
so he breaks the gas line and leaves a match on the tail,
leaves a candle on the table and runs out of the house. Yeah,
or puts it in the microwave, and like that's the microwave. But this
was a home that was recently purchased and the new owners were a pair doing
construction or cleaning it out. They were doing some something themselves, some DIY
kind of situation. Yeah, I mean this is almost like a Tom Kraidler
from The Money I was gonna say, Well, and the great thing about
Thomas he has the tips of how to do things yourself, but he also
says when you should not do things yourself and call in an expert. Yeah,
all right, so you can go to moneypit dot com and get that
information. Six people are dead. Train hit an suv with the family in
the suv. Went a mess. Six people, six dead. This was
down at Hillsboro County, Florida. So this guy, Jose Hernandez driving his
escalade and this is how many people are doing this in the course of the
day. So we got to a railroad crossing which had a stop sign and
a railroad crossing sign. So the wife to children wanted adult child to friends
Gonzo, and nobody quite figured out why why would you go across the tracks.
Apparently somebody watched and he went so slowly. Some of the people were
just pushed out, Yeah, it's like a yes, right exactly. And
people who were nearby they were honking. They were trying to get them to
understand, like, hey, there's a train coming by. I think it
was a language thing, a language barrier. Perhaps, I'm not sure,
but I mean, even if you just hear honking, not even words,
just people honking, you look around and I don't know, I didn't see
a photo or anything, so I don't know if there were any trees or
were like bushes around blocking, but you can typically hear it there's a train
coming, and but he even went by slowly. This is just the family
members who lost these loved ones, but also the friends that were in the
vehicle. They're they're the deceased children's they're they're friends who were with them.
Those family members who thought that they were just sending their child off to have
a good time with their friends. Well, that's what they were doing much
as anything else. Hey, all right, the Republican debate is tonight,
isn't it tomorrow? I believe tomorrow? All right? So do we want
to spend time talking about Ron de Santis and Nikki Hailey and Ramaswamy and Pence
and Tim Scott a rail up to these days? Yeah, rehearsing for the
event tomorrow night. So who's your favorite candidate? You pick a handicapping who
is on that list? I look at that list and I will there are
four people that I think are interesting Haley, Ramaswamy, Scott and Chris Christie
the the two. I have no use for DeSantis whatsoever. And Pence is
just kind of and he's just kind of there, kind of Well, according
to a lot of surveys and polls, I think most of the population would
agree with you asigned from Christy, right. They don't like Christy just from
what I'm seeing in the different polls and stats and stuff of how people are
swaying. It's interesting because he's probably the best administrator of all the people that
are there in the in reality, and that's kind of what you need.
You need an administrator, right. It's just how in the world can run
things with Donald Trump where people are like he ran this place like a business.
It should have been run with the business. It is a business essentially.
That is something that is in his favor, no question about it.
Sad news for those of you who are fans of vencis actually those of us
who go back to the days of The Man from Uncle, the passing of
David McCallum, who was Ilia Koyakin. I've had in my mind I was
going to start a contest and every day have four questions for people, and
if they answer all four questions right, I'm going to give him some money.
And I haven't quite figured out how to legits. They used to do
a lot of that stuff, and I haven't. One of my questions if
I were doing that today would be what was the name of David McCallum's character
in The Man from Uncle? And another question would be who is his co
star? Robert Vaughan was Solo and McCallum was Koyakin. Solo was an American
agent. McCallum played a Russian agent and it was an interesting it was quite
a lot of fun for the eras in the nineties, so anyway, but
he's probably best known as doctor Mallard and CI asked by the way. Jay
has been the most popular television program for years running. I'm twelve fourteen years
as the number one most viewed television program, and there are a lot of
spinoffs from it. But the original was the one when they had a really
good cast, a lot of interesting characters. Sort Of the last few years
they haven't had that many. A good one's kind of petered off. But
when Ducky was in it, and here's a clip from him, it was
really kind of an interesting relationship he had with Mark Carman's character. Hey,
I win the bowl. Wait a minute, how do you figure that?
I predicted that Gibbs would last four days? It's director before reverting to working
a case. This is Thursday, four days. He is not working the
case. He's just serious. Every time he's been at the crime scene,
he's been there to investigate. How is the day different. He is in
the navy yard because that's where the director's office is located, all right,
So that's the dialogue back and forth between Weatherly's character and McCallum's character a NCI.
It's just a really everything you read about him. His family says that
he was the kindest, coolist, most patient and mother, most loving father
with family before self. I love hearing that. Yeah, his grandchildren continue
to act up until Yeah. He was in an NCIS episode at the beginning
of the I think the last episode in last the last season. He was
in the episode he was ninety years old, So yeah, yeah, I
just I think it's so warm and wonderful to have people talk about you that
way. His grandson with his grandfather and they had great, deep philosophical conversation.
That's just kind of cool. I'm Greg I'm sixty eight years old.
I 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, Wanda, 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 say used to, or they don't remember things as vividly as they once
did. I've been taking priviging for about three years now. People say to
me periodical, Man, you got a memory like an alphant. It's really
really helped me tremendously, providing healthier brain, better life. Grig Freely is
a paid testimonialist and real priviging user based on the clinical study of subgroups of
individuals who were cognitively normal or mildly imperative. This product is not intended to
diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. I think sometimes,
aren't we all tough on ourselves from time to time? Aren't you more tough
onding yourself than anybody else? I think I am on me, And although
some people would think I was tougher on them than I am on me,
don't believe that for a second. I'm very tough on me and have been
for most of my life. Not that it whatever toll it takes. I
want things to be better. I don't want things to get messed up.
I want to live up to my commitments. You know, that's just kind
of the way I was raised and I raised myself. So where did I
get that? I get that from people on the farm. The basic tenets
of life you learn from being on the farm, being around the animals,
being around growth, being around that wisdom it comes. The animals have amazing
wisdom and oftentimes, you know, you think when they understand their reality.
And most of the animals that I'm around, where most of the cows don't
make mistakes. They know, you know, what they're supposed to eat and
what they're not supposed to eat. If the feed isn't good, they won't
eat it. You know. Once in a while I have feed, especially
with all the rain, might still be in a feed trough or a cart
or a wagon that I put out, and they won't eat it because it's
turned rancid or turned the rain rots everything, and sometimes you can't get things
changed around as much. So the self discipline, I think that's the point
here, that that you learn from those in nature is a good way to
probably look at your own life. Right, I think I would think,
yeah, yeah, you'd be good at that or are good at that?
All right, So now that leads into this story about this sixteen year old
boy who has now been charged with third degree arson after the fireworks that he
set off burned twenty eight acres. This is Meridian, Idaho. I was
gonna say, all right, well but Idaho. This he liked live of
fireworks and it immediately because he didn't know what he was doing, a set
of fire on farmland and forest land. So this is a post that I
saw on Facebook. The fire departments from three or four different towns had to
come in and put plus the Bureau of Land Management got involved in this thing
to put the fire out. So that's massive and it could have been so
much worse. Oh my god. Yes, that's the thing you see.
And the boy tried to run away and knew what he'd done, but he
was caught, so he should be charged as an adult charged. This was
something I don't know whether it was a dare. Something tells me somewhere in
here there was a dare. Am I right? Did you get that out
of looking at this? Somehow I dare you to do? Oh my goodness.
I didn't even think about that. I was just thinking maybe it was
some us, some sixteen year old who was bored and had access to fireworks
all right laws were in the fire department to call him. The Fire Department
of New York has announced a nounced they they have issued a statement about deaths
regarding September eleventh, And it appears Jay that the first responder deaths from related
diseases as an aftermath of September eleventh, two thousand and one now have actually
matched the number of people who were killed at that day. Isn't that so?
I mean three thousand people first responders have died since the months after nine
eleven related illnesses, and it's just the pile of bodies here come get higher
and higher, and most of them are battling with cancer. They have pulmonary
fibrosis. There are all kinds of things breathing in. Any of that stuff
you interview have masks on some of that stuff. Is so talking those particles,
Yeah, they stick it in and especially things that just hang in the
Europe and we were aware of this. It was discuss that a lot of
those first responders who survived nine to eleven were dying post nine to eleven because
of these related illnesses. But when you have that fact that the related diseases
now match the number that were killed, attack itself. Yeah, that is
just grucial. It's grucial. And what have we done to hold the people
from Saudi Arabia accountable? Not a damn thing. I mean, we get
went after the people supposedly that we're directly indirectly, you know, involved,
and they end up ended up in Guantanamo. And you know, there were
some people who were guilty of whatever sins and defences were tied to that.
But the real people responsible are making three hundred million dollars a year selling oil
to the United States and everybody else in the world. So they discussed me.
Here's laws were in New York. Another person's been arrested in that fentanyl
daycare case. Wow, remember this from last week? The one year old
boy died? Was it last week? The week before? When was this
first front of us? It was within the last two weeks. I think
it was early last week. I could be wrong. I think you're right.
So three people arrested in this case the death of a young what year
or two year old? Yes, he was one, and a few other
kids were taken to the hospital, but one died. And this was an
apartment place staycare center, so this was an at home type of daycare center.
Where did these people were they even clearly they weren't qualified to be doing
this. Somebody put fentanyl stashed it away on stacked mats, these mats that
the children sleep on during naptime. I just the drug culture in our world,
the amount of money that people pay to get high, whether it's with
marijuana or regular drugs or what is there about I guess I'm going back to
what we said earlier in the in the half hour about being tough on yourself.
What is there in your mind that would possess you to do this kind
of harm to yourself to leave others exposed to it at the same time.
So we'll definitely not thinking that's the problem with addiction, and people don't just
start off on fentanyl. And that's fentanyl is so scary. You don't even
have to djust it or smoke it or anything like that. You touch it
and it can do severe harm. But we're seeing more and more, and
this is one of the one of the things we discuss a lot. DOUG
is a lot of times addiction starts with prescribed pills. Sometimes it starts with
just hanging around the wrong crowd. It only takes one experience, and some
people just have more of an addictive personality than others, and it rolls into
other things. I don't want to sound like I don't have the where it
is tolerance. My mother was addicted to all kinds of stuff, and I
think that's kind of what has what affects my attitude toward people who are not
strong enough to stay away from that sort of thing. I might say anything
else so well, especially when an addiction is an illness and it should be
treated as such, But when that illness causes harm to others, kills children,
yep, that is the unacceptable side of it. Well, normally,
in most everybody's going to be affected whose lives are touched by somebody who has
that problem. You know, my family certainly was. Uh, you know,
you overcome it to the point that you that you can, but just
thinking about it's it's kind of a selfish thing. And I have a hard
time holding my mother in that place. But you know, she didn't have
She basically was committing suicide because she didn't know a way to get out of
an unhappy marriage. And a lot of people do that kind of stuff.
They bury themselves in alcohol or drugs because they can't figure out there's always going
to be helped. That's maybe the lesson here is there's always going to be
help. It's you have to well I was being judgment don't have to,
but if you can, because there is so much help around today, churches
and social gather you know, there's just lots of it. I remember my
mother's best help was her best friend who who wasn't successful and you know,
ultimately in helping my mother, but she was really a good source. Her
name was Jeane Goddard. She lived down the street, and she was very
caring and knew what was going on, and they tried to help my mother
as much as she could, but she was kind of the only one.
My mother went to the to the minister of the church for help, and
instead he ended up taking advantage of her. So, you know, there's
that I suppose too. All right, enough of that, I don't get
down that rat hole. Here's the story of eight hundred four thousand people who
have found themselves in an enviable situation from late this summer until now, and
I'm wondering how this is. Excuse me, I'm getting emotional about what I
was just talking about. Excuse me for that. How in the world this
is something that I didn't know anything about. We talked about the Biden administration
paying off student loan balances for a million or so college who had former college
the borrowers, and so there's a quiet new option from the federal government.
And there were people who filled out I didn't know any of this. Tell
me if you knew anything about this. They were the Department of Education sent
around a form to people that they had on record for who are still for
college, and hundreds of thousands of people filled out this and they tied the
payments to their income. So somehow or other, if you owed more than
this, looking at the status, if you owed more than the twenty seven
thousand dollars on your college debt, it was erased depending on your income.
So that's eight hundred and four thousand people who at this time last year owed
more than twenty seven thousand dollars this time this year, oh zero, nothing.
And how'd they come up with a formula? This is very smooth.
I think you're talking about the federal government doesn't even get away with I'm surprised
the Republicans aren't all over this. And but Biden got away with it.
And I say got away with it. You know, one of the crimes
here is that the student own interest was so high that it was very difficult
for you to make a debt in paying down the debt because you're always paying
the interest. And a lot of people who you know, we could all
find somebody in our circle of friends perhaps who were going on. I had
my son in law who's been a college professor for twenty years, was still
paying his debt down until this year. And now that I think about it,
I think he was one of the ones that, yeah he is now
now that I'm thinking about it, he was one of the ones who got
loan forgiveness as certain income and certain But imagine what's the message here? I
guess that's what's confusing to roll out of people. What the heck is the
message? Don't go to college because it's too expensive, don't get a degree
if you need in college itself? Isn't what's so expensive? It's the interest.
Yeah, it's paying the interest on the debt. Correct. So did
Biden to do the right thing by these people? I suppose the answer is
kind of yes. But how is it that these people are let's see here,
I'm looking at it on an issue rather than addressing and fixing the issue
for futures to come. You can't just keeping band aids on things. Eight
percentage was this guy who one hundred and fifty thousand dollars and he got chopped
down to sixty three thousand. So it's great business time for Caldron. I

Last month we talked a lot about the death of Treat Williams, who was
an actor's actor. According to anybody who ever worked for them, people loved
the guy. He'd been around since the seventies. Filmmakers, people on television.
They just really liked working with him. His performances were always on the
top of the curve. He had a life that he designed from selvage just
as much as he wanted to, and nice farm up in Vermont until thirty
five year old Ryan Costs came around a corner and crashed into Treat williams motorcycle
and killed him. So now this guy is in court yesterday. He pled
not guilty. How well, I guess you complete anything you want. He
gets to go to jail for fifteen years hopefully when he's convicted. And that
doesn't seem like enough. You review the crash. Apparently, as usual,
somebody got some of the bit cart, some of it on video, not
a lot of it. He was charged with grossly negligent operation and death.
He came around the corner as Treat Williams was turning right. He was just
out for a ride late in the afternoon on his motorcycle. He lived in
a great place in Vermont, up up near Woodstock. It's a wonderful place,
and he was out for a ride and this guy took her. He
indicated he had his directional light on. He was going to turn left,
but apparently he turned right and the car cut him off, and the car
was going too fast and the guy was not in control. And that's the
end of that. So you know, what do you do? In this
case? He got his children. It was needless. It's another example of
an accident that didn't need to happen, shouldn't have happened. If you're paying
attention to your driving, which is what you're supposed to do. Hello,
d then that wouldn't have happened. He'd still be here. Sephia loren is
in the hospital. How many people, James, you know who Sophia Lorenn
is not familiar? No, okay, she was one of the bombshell actresses
of the fifties and sixties and seventies. She had these eyes and the rest
of her body was easy to look at as well. She was she played
a sex symbol kind of like rak cal Welch in a manner of speaking.
So anyway, she's eighty nine years old. She fell down the other day
and broker hip and that's never good for anybody who you know, you get
to that age, that's you get pneumonia. She broker Femur needed an emergency
surgery. Yeah, everybody is optimistic about her recovery, including her doctors is
well. One of the things that affects she was a big smoker, and
smoking will affect the brittleness of your bones, and she you know they break
more easily when you have smoked all your life. So that may be.
That may be one of the issues or problems here. But anyway, hold
the good thought for Sephia Loren. The next Stephen Good Day download with Doug
