Love is 4 00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:18,079 in the air. Love is in the air, and there are all kinds 5 00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:22,280 of different love connections. The love used to be a TV show, right 6 00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:25,199 called the Love Connection. I think wasn't there. There's always stuff. The 7 00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:28,399 Bachelor now is going to do what it was? Yeah, no, I 8 00:00:28,399 --> 00:00:32,719 think there is. Uh, there's going to be a new Bachelor at old 9 00:00:32,759 --> 00:00:36,000 Timer what do they call the old Bachelor that they had on last year, 10 00:00:36,079 --> 00:00:41,679 Golden Mess And I was going to be a Golden Bachelorette. So you don't 11 00:00:41,719 --> 00:00:45,159 have anybody on this program that could apply for that. That'll be interesting to 12 00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:50,079 see how that shakes out. Their ratings on that show for the best of 13 00:00:50,359 --> 00:00:54,799 any bachelor show, any bachelor series that they ever had. And so of 14 00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:58,840 course they're gonna milk it and find some woman who's gonna chase some old cadure 15 00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:04,079 around this. I don't know, do you feel good about watching old timers 16 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:15,879 make love kiss? I guess doesn't I'm not the target audience for reality television 17 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:21,400 anyway, but I believe that that's kind of how the Bachelor franchise always went. 18 00:01:21,439 --> 00:01:25,239 They would do one and then it's like one of the runner ups or 19 00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:29,719 one of the people who just like had a big fan base but didn't win, 20 00:01:29,879 --> 00:01:33,920 didn't get that final Rose or whatever becomes the next one, and then 21 00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:38,239 it just kind of keeps going goes from there, right. Yeah. Henry 22 00:01:38,359 --> 00:01:42,319 David Thurreau, who grew up in my neighborhood, said there's no remedy for 23 00:01:42,439 --> 00:01:49,159 love but to have more love. And this is a perfect time thinking about 24 00:01:49,159 --> 00:01:53,280 all the things that are going on in our country, going on around the 25 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:56,959 world. Love is in the air. Hopefully we can find a lot of 26 00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,640 that stuff to think about today and beyond. Going back to the origins of 27 00:02:01,079 --> 00:02:08,039 Valentine's Day itself, it was actually a feast for the patron saints that were 28 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:13,360 all there were a bunch of them named Valentine. Catholic Church grabbed the pagan 29 00:02:13,439 --> 00:02:20,759 festival as usual, that's what they were great at any festival where people were 30 00:02:20,759 --> 00:02:24,599 worshiping false God's, false idols, that grab them. Let's make that ours. 31 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:30,280 So that's what happened. They The first one was paying homage to the 32 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:37,840 Roman god of agriculture whose name was Faunas. There was a goat and a 33 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:46,599 dog that were sacrificed, and then they would involve. They'd skin the goat 34 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:53,120 and tear it up into strips and dip it into the blood of the goat, 35 00:02:53,599 --> 00:02:59,159 and they painted on women. Great, there you go. Can you 36 00:02:59,159 --> 00:03:04,159 see that happening? Well, let's it see so the blood that's the thing, 37 00:03:05,199 --> 00:03:07,759 you know, that's really good. We are to remind people about that. 38 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:12,960 The reason that the color for Valentine's Day is red is because of the 39 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:20,960 blood of the goats that they used to sacrifice as the Valentine's Day patron saint. 40 00:03:21,439 --> 00:03:23,919 They didn't want to kill the patron saints, so they killed the goat 41 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:28,560 instead. So they started about two seventy a d. And then there are 42 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:32,280 a lot of different stories about a guy named Saint Valentine. It was originally 43 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:37,319 called Saint Valentine's Day. There were a number of them. Actually, during 44 00:03:37,319 --> 00:03:42,199 the fourteen hundreds, the day was associated with romance and messages of romance, 45 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:46,759 and so Valentine's began to appear. I don't think the Hallmark Company was around 46 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:52,159 until limit eighteen hundreds though, right, so no, yeah, they kind 47 00:03:52,159 --> 00:03:54,199 of joined it on it, but I feel like Sweetest Day is the one 48 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:59,280 that Hallmark had more of a hand in creating. Yes, right now, 49 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:05,719 they didn't create the moderndy Valentine's celebrations the token of affection, though it's come 50 00:04:05,759 --> 00:04:12,360 a long way since killing a goat and the blood on the women was supposed 51 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,080 to make them fertile, I think, right, wasn't that the idea make 52 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:23,720 them more fertile? Yeah, we have reproducing or else good for? Right? 53 00:04:24,519 --> 00:04:29,399 So do you love Valentine's Day or would you just as soon leave it 54 00:04:30,439 --> 00:04:33,160 a question that a lot of people think it's overdone. I think every day 55 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:36,639 should be Valentine's Day? She should, you know? Okay, so today 56 00:04:36,639 --> 00:04:43,720 we associated with romance and celebrations of love, but as I just pointed out, 57 00:04:43,759 --> 00:04:46,319 it hasn't always been that way. I always do those things for each 58 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:50,040 other just throughout the year, little tokens of your affections, speak each other's 59 00:04:50,079 --> 00:04:55,000 love language, go out on dates anyway, but I feel like Valentine's Day 60 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:59,680 to go out on a date is just it is too much. I have 61 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,959 not been now since the world shut down with the pandemic and everything. But 62 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,680 like for Valentine's Day, I should say I actually haven't been out to eat 63 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:12,879 on Valentine's Day in over a decade because the one and only time my husband 64 00:05:12,879 --> 00:05:15,519 and I actually went out to dinner for Valentine's Day when we were dating was 65 00:05:15,879 --> 00:05:19,720 such a miserable time. It's like they bring extra tables and they bring extra 66 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:25,279 chairs, and you are based its commercial day with other couples. Yeah, 67 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:30,639 it's just it's it's uncomfortable. It is chaotic and overstimulating, and it's just 68 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:34,560 like we will stay home and cook dinner and then we will go and on 69 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:40,959 a date night. Other nights, any night can be That's what I'm saying. 70 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:45,759 It ought to be something that works year round. It's a good imbetus. 71 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:47,920 I suppose for it, but it becomes like a lot of other things. 72 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,279 So it went from being a pagan holiday to a religious holiday. Now 73 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:58,199 it's a commercial holiday. It's all about giving chocolates. You're giving flowers or 74 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:02,680 buying present, you know, the little tokens of your affection. I feel 75 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,759 like something a present means so much more when it's not given on a holiday, 76 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:09,759 When it's just a hey, I saw this. It made me think 77 00:06:09,759 --> 00:06:12,399 of you. I feel like you would really like this. Here you go 78 00:06:12,639 --> 00:06:16,680 kind of situation. Also, I hate getting flowers. I'm allergic to them. 79 00:06:16,759 --> 00:06:19,519 If you were going to get okay something, please get me a bouquet 80 00:06:19,519 --> 00:06:25,040 of balloons. I love balloons, balloons. I wonder how many people have 81 00:06:25,079 --> 00:06:30,759 gotten balloons today. Let's post on our various social media, whether it's be 82 00:06:30,759 --> 00:06:40,079 Facebook or Instagram or X what people think you love today? Is it a 83 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,800 special day or do you just think like Jay does, every day should be 84 00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:49,600 a day for a rose. We've idealized the love image. This is you 85 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:54,800 know, okay, so it's cool to have a show of affection today, 86 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:59,680 but why don't you have a show of affection every day? And are you 87 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,959 and a good relationship? Is maybe today's a good time for you to examine 88 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:09,639 your relationship and find out whether it's a loving relationship or whether it's a blurred 89 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:14,240 sort of a thing. The you know, the people the idea is the 90 00:07:14,279 --> 00:07:19,879 wrong answer, it's true. Well, what do you mean to the question 91 00:07:19,959 --> 00:07:23,240 about whether you love it or yeah, yeah love it? Yeah, there's 92 00:07:23,399 --> 00:07:26,199 yeah, there's no wrong answer. It's it's if you love today, that's 93 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:30,959 awesome. If it's not your thing, that's okay too. Yeah. I 94 00:07:30,959 --> 00:07:35,560 don't think we should wash away the idealized notion about love, but I also 95 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:42,279 think that you can use this time to think about what your relationship is really 96 00:07:42,439 --> 00:07:46,560 all about. There are very few people I know who are in a good 97 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:53,120 relationship, I mean good like all the way around. There's always something and 98 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:59,120 this stuff gets to the obstacles to having the long lasting love that sometimes we 99 00:07:59,199 --> 00:08:05,600 talk about here to talk about some of these people who have whethered was when 100 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:07,759 you had somebody the other day were telling me that was eighty years or something 101 00:08:09,279 --> 00:08:15,920 married, and they betting that they were pretty conscious of their relationship every single 102 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:22,079 day. Otherwise they wouldn't have they wouldn't have lasted for eighty years anyways. 103 00:08:22,079 --> 00:08:26,399 But it may not be as Jay suggested for everybody. It may be just 104 00:08:26,839 --> 00:08:31,440 something silly, or maybe it is some time for you to ask yourself, 105 00:08:31,879 --> 00:08:37,679 what's my relationship all about? What's it all about? Alfie? Remember that 106 00:08:37,759 --> 00:08:41,519 you probably don't remember that song or that movie, but there you know what's 107 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:48,440 it all about? Alfie pretty close? So you know what I remember doing. 108 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:54,360 When I was a youngster, I used to make things. It was 109 00:08:54,440 --> 00:09:00,000 a I didn't Valentine's Day wasn't for boyfriends and girlfriends, at least when I 110 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,039 was young. I mean talking about maybe fifth sixth grade, used to make 111 00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:07,240 things. This may sound sad, and it's not meant to be. I 112 00:09:07,399 --> 00:09:11,279 was, I don't know what the right word is, desperate. My mother 113 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:18,639 was not in a position to be particularly good at mothering, let's put it 114 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:22,679 that way, and so I would try to gain her favor. I'd make 115 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:28,679 things and give it to her, or to my second mother, And that 116 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:33,879 was kind of a It was a cool thing, and well, I know 117 00:09:33,919 --> 00:09:37,360 it was appreciated, or it seemed to be appreciated. So we have Valentine's 118 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:43,120 Day today, we have ash Wednesday as well. How many people are going 119 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:48,240 to Is there a celebration here? I'm not sure that that's the right word 120 00:09:48,799 --> 00:09:52,240 and acknowledgement. Yesterday was Marty Grau right, and everybody, according to the 121 00:09:52,320 --> 00:10:01,960 legend, once again a sort of Catholic holiday. Now we've got starting we're 122 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:05,559 giving up things the old tradition maybe when you were probably gone away giving up 123 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:09,159 things for lent. I don't pay much into that, but I remember it 124 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,919 was a big deal. When I was a kid, did you ever give 125 00:10:11,039 --> 00:10:16,559 up stuff for No? My religion, it wasn't a thing. I grew 126 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:20,960 up Lutheran and so we still do ash Wednesday, go get the ashes and 127 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:24,200 everything on our forehead. But as far as giving anything up for lent, 128 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:28,039 it's not unheard of for anybody who is a Lutheran to do so. But 129 00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:31,960 it's not a common practice. Yeah, all right, but for those of 130 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:37,480 you who do, it's one of the trending things Valentine's Day. I was 131 00:10:37,519 --> 00:10:45,639 looking at the trending list for Valentine's Day. Let's see what it is. 132 00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:50,600 The jewelry. That's something we haven't talked about. Jeans buying clothing, all 133 00:10:50,720 --> 00:11:01,279 right, Well, anyway, a revelation from Katie Perry. We there's all 134 00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:05,720 kinds of social media lists today, all kinds of trending lists because of Valentine's 135 00:11:05,799 --> 00:11:09,360 Day, But there's always this celebrity list, and Katy Perry is on it. 136 00:11:09,919 --> 00:11:15,200 I wonder people like her, and no wonder she's attracted to. People 137 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:18,559 who are doing these American Idol kind of shows want to have her. On 138 00:11:18,639 --> 00:11:22,480 a matter of fact, she's been on American Idol for what three four years, 139 00:11:22,519 --> 00:11:26,720 five years? How long has Katy Perry been on American Idol? Trying 140 00:11:26,759 --> 00:11:30,559 to remember when it all started. I think I follow American Idol more than 141 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,960 I do any of the others. She's out with Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie, 142 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,559 right. I feel like they do a better job promoting things. But 143 00:11:35,639 --> 00:11:41,279 she's been on for seven years. Seven years, okay, well not much 144 00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:48,840 longer. She is now leaving American Idol. She talked about what she was 145 00:11:48,879 --> 00:11:52,039 doing. This is the last one that she wants to do, at least 146 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,840 for now. She left the door open, though, didn't She kind of 147 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,159 yeah, yeah, if there happens to be a time where maybe they want 148 00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:01,919 to invite her back or she wants to approach them again. But right now, 149 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:05,639 she she's been busy. She was doing American Idol. She wrapped up 150 00:12:05,639 --> 00:12:09,159 a two year residency in Vegas, and she wants to work on new music 151 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:13,399 and then tour with the new music. So she's going to have a lot 152 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,039 of stuff going on. So what do you think of her? What do 153 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,519 you do you like her? Do you think she's great? Is she the 154 00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:24,799 best music? I like her music? Well? Would you like her? 155 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:28,600 Does she come across to you as being a genuine article as being somebody that 156 00:12:28,639 --> 00:12:31,879 you'd like to have as your bestie or somebody you could be friends with, 157 00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:35,080 or how do you view her as a human being? Katie Perry, I 158 00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:41,440 would be interested in knowing her on a personal level. I think that she 159 00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,799 she seems like she has a lot of energy and sometimes she's one of those 160 00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:50,960 celebrities that I feel like is a little bit more quote unquote on when they're 161 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:54,960 on and why would you not be most people are. Sometimes it can be 162 00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,519 a little bit too much, but I think she has There's been a lot 163 00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:01,000 of times that she's made me laugh. I think she's cute and funny, 164 00:13:01,039 --> 00:13:05,360 but I really like her music. Who's she married to? I was trying 165 00:13:05,399 --> 00:13:09,600 to remember, is it Orlando Blue? With Ah? Okay, right, 166 00:13:09,879 --> 00:13:11,720 all right? Are they happy they have children and that kind of stuff. 167 00:13:11,879 --> 00:13:16,600 I don't know them personally. I'm not sure to be valentized they would be 168 00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:18,399 good for that. Well, yeah, but I'm sure they seem like they 169 00:13:18,399 --> 00:13:22,840 seem like they're fond of each other. Yeah, good, Okay, that's 170 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:30,480 cool anyway, So she is on the road again and we'll so who's a 171 00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:33,080 good replacement for her? So I was thinking they need to have a They 172 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:35,720 have two men and a woman. So who would be a good replace? 173 00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:39,080 Yeah? Who would be a good one. It's something to think about. 174 00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:43,720 It right to manage you behind that? Yeah, I'm Greg. I'm sixty 175 00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,840 eight years old. I grew up in Cleveland, Ohio. Majored in business 176 00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:52,480 administration. I do motivational speaking in addition to substitute teaching. Part of the 177 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:56,039 reason for my motivational speaking is I kind of feel like I have a calling 178 00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,480 or giving back to the younger generation. You know, the golden roller is 179 00:13:58,519 --> 00:14:01,600 doing another as you'd have them join to you. My wife, Wanda, 180 00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:05,799 as a senior flight attendant. She's been flying for over thirty years. We 181 00:14:05,919 --> 00:14:11,480 do laugh quite a bit. I think most adults will start realizing that they 182 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,639 don't recall things as quickly as they used to, or they don't remember things 183 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:20,320 as vividly as they once did. I've been taking Prevagen for about three years 184 00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:22,159 now. People say to me periodical, Man, you got a memory like 185 00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:28,919 an alephant. It's really really helped me tremendously. Probagen, healthier brain, 186 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:33,799 better life. Greg Freeley is a paid testimonialist and real Prevagen user. Based 187 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:37,919 on the clinical study of subgroups of individuals who were cognitively normal or mildly impaired. 188 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,639 This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent 189 00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:50,240 any disease. The COVID nineteen isolation advice has changed would be wow, this 190 00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:54,200 is the news media as usual making way too much of this because most people 191 00:14:54,240 --> 00:15:00,759 have already changed their guidance. They have their own guidance. It's not like 192 00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:03,080 you didn't have. I loved this. The government thinks that it's almighty, 193 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:09,240 all powerful, all influencing, right, I remember all the times during the 194 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:13,600 almost three years of COVID. Well, according to CDC guidance, it's worth 195 00:15:13,639 --> 00:15:18,919 following CDC guidance because we don't have a brain in our head and we couldn't 196 00:15:18,919 --> 00:15:26,759 think it through. So todayn you don't have to follow those of you who 197 00:15:26,799 --> 00:15:31,879 follow the CDC. Good for you. The guidance for people who test positive 198 00:15:31,919 --> 00:15:37,879 for COVID nineteen has changed. So you don't have a five day isolation when 199 00:15:37,919 --> 00:15:43,279 you had COVID. It's nothing. You don't have to stick around, you 200 00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:46,840 don't have to isolate at all. Nope, So what does that tell you 201 00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:52,440 about all of this house away over the last three years about people and what 202 00:15:52,519 --> 00:15:58,639 they did, what they were clowed into doing. It's it's just, I 203 00:15:58,679 --> 00:16:03,639 mean, hindsight's twenty twenty obviously, but this was the most overwrought, overcharged, 204 00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:10,159 overdone episode in my life. And I would say probably in the history 205 00:16:10,159 --> 00:16:15,679 of the modern history of the planet, the way that people dealt with this 206 00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:22,080 sort of thing and how there certainly were a lot of folks who died because 207 00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:25,600 of it, but there were many more people who you thought they died of 208 00:16:25,639 --> 00:16:30,799 it and they didn't really and differently. Yeah, right, And that's the 209 00:16:30,799 --> 00:16:33,440 point. I've had it three Yeah, I've had it thrice, and it 210 00:16:33,519 --> 00:16:37,799 hit me differently each time, and to be honest, I isolated, and 211 00:16:37,879 --> 00:16:41,320 even this the most recent time, I did the additional five day isolation, 212 00:16:42,279 --> 00:16:47,440 or not the additional five day I isolated until like it was for five days 213 00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:49,480 while I was sick, and then I still wore a mask around people for 214 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:53,639 a couple extra days just in case. But more than anything, it's because 215 00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:57,720 even though it didn't hit me as hard this last time, the second time 216 00:16:57,799 --> 00:17:02,720 I had it, it was the worst thing I've ever experienced that I would 217 00:17:02,759 --> 00:17:07,119 wish that on nobody, And if I did end up getting somebody sick or 218 00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:11,000 giving somebody my COVID germs and they got as sick as I was. I 219 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:15,960 wouldn't be able to forgive myself. It was truly awful. It was certainly 220 00:17:17,279 --> 00:17:21,920 the idea of it to passing from one to another through the air, that 221 00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:26,079 was something that was true. I'm looking at an article in Today's Washington Post. 222 00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:33,599 J The updated guidelines suggest isolation is unnecessary once you have been fever free 223 00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:37,680 for twenty four hours. So how long does the fever last? Again, 224 00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:41,440 it's different, as Jay is suggesting. Some people had it for a day, 225 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:47,680 some people had it for a week long COVID and some people yeah, 226 00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:52,599 right, yep. And it's so closely aligned with the flu and RSV. 227 00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:59,000 There are lots of people who have you know, again, even inside the 228 00:17:59,079 --> 00:18:02,680 CDC. This is an argument's been going on for a long time because there 229 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:06,039 are some people who are thinkers in there, but they were, you know, 230 00:18:06,759 --> 00:18:10,279 they were sort of put off to the side, the people who didn't 231 00:18:10,319 --> 00:18:14,440 get along or go along with what Fauci said, or some of these other 232 00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:19,319 people that were way over the top for whatever the reason. The number of 233 00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:25,039 people who were dying from COVID once they get into the hospital is down to 234 00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:29,720 six percent, and it was what was it doing? Well? Again, 235 00:18:29,799 --> 00:18:34,680 you can't really tell from the old from the original because everybody was dying, 236 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:41,119 right, that was it. Anybody who died there was COVID. They died 237 00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:45,359 of COVID exactly. There were people who were already dying on something or they 238 00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:48,759 were already in prospice care, and then they contracted COVID and they died with 239 00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:52,680 COVID, not because of COVID, and then it's COVID was put as the 240 00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:56,160 cause of death. And I think more than anything, it's just because there 241 00:18:56,200 --> 00:19:00,279 was so much uncertainty about it and people didn't know. I was terrified of 242 00:19:00,279 --> 00:19:03,720 it because I'm a hypochondriac. I'll acknowledge that, but also I do get 243 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:07,559 sick a lot, and I don't have good health, so I do do 244 00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:11,119 have certain things. But I think there was just so much questioning about it 245 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:17,680 that cause that kind of continued and led. More of the fear was the 246 00:19:17,759 --> 00:19:22,319 fear of the unknown, as opposed to that was itself. Like yeah, 247 00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:23,359 like the flu, if you have the flu, don't go to work, 248 00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:27,640 stay home. Nobody wants your germs. But and we just say you're home 249 00:19:27,759 --> 00:19:32,079 sick and just avoid people. Or how often have you been around somebody who 250 00:19:32,079 --> 00:19:34,279 has a cold and you typically would hug them upon seeing them, but they're 251 00:19:34,319 --> 00:19:37,359 like, oh, don't hug me today, I have a cold. You 252 00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:41,240 don't want these germs. It's perfectly normal. Yeah. It really is interesting 253 00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:45,559 to see people in their reaction to people that are a tough guy, a 254 00:19:45,559 --> 00:19:48,240 big tough guy. I'm I got a cold, but I'm going to work. 255 00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:51,440 No. Probably that's not going to be the sign of you being a 256 00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:53,480 tough guy. It's going to be a sign of you being stupid and the 257 00:19:53,559 --> 00:19:56,440 thoughtless. Not did you look at it that way? I know that people 258 00:19:56,480 --> 00:20:00,720 think I gotta go, the boss needs me, I gotta get to work, 259 00:20:00,519 --> 00:20:03,799 But there was probably did you see it right? I feel like that 260 00:20:03,839 --> 00:20:07,359 was the good thing that came from COVID, that if you are sick with 261 00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:10,160 anything, it was just stay home. You don't need to come in where 262 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:12,359 Prior to COVID, it was oh, you have the flu, sorry for 263 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:18,079 your luck, get in here. You know what the CDC recognized interesting in 264 00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:25,279 this article in the post and making the recommendations. What they acknowledge is that 265 00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:29,519 the people are not willing to do what they had to do before. I 266 00:20:29,559 --> 00:20:33,559 always said that if if they if this thing came back. When Ken Crownhouse 267 00:20:33,599 --> 00:20:36,640 and I talk about this on Good Day Health, I said to him, 268 00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:40,640 people are not going to do what they were told to do, required to 269 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:45,440 do before because they realized that it didn't do what the government said was going 270 00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:49,160 to happen would take place. If you stayed home, everybody would be safe. 271 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:52,839 And no, but not everybody was forced to stay home. That's the 272 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:57,640 thing. There was no across the board unity one way. Stakes were different, 273 00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:03,119 some counties different, and yeah, in Tennessee, Davidson County shut down 274 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:07,680 where Nashville is and Shelby County shut down where Memphis is. All of the 275 00:21:07,759 --> 00:21:12,319 surrounding counties were essentially business as usual. And those are also very transient places. 276 00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:15,559 So there are a lot of people living and working in one county and 277 00:21:15,559 --> 00:21:18,720 then still traveling to other counties or living in one county that was shut down, 278 00:21:19,079 --> 00:21:22,680 but you still had to travel to a different county because that's where you 279 00:21:22,759 --> 00:21:29,319 worked. So the suggestion, the acknowledgment from the people of the CDC is 280 00:21:29,759 --> 00:21:33,400 that even though the science points to there still being a problem, the warnings 281 00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:37,759 accomplish nothing anymore because nobody will listen to you. And I think that's the 282 00:21:37,799 --> 00:21:41,279 bottom line. There is not going to be another one of these, no 283 00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:45,519 matter whether there is there isn't because people are not going to pay attention to 284 00:21:45,559 --> 00:21:48,000 it. Yeah, because they know it was overcooked in their first place. 285 00:21:48,319 --> 00:21:55,559 Yeah, speaking of being overcooked. So the Republicans in the House yesterday went 286 00:21:55,640 --> 00:22:00,400 back to looking at mister Majorcis and decided, Okay, we're gonna yet him. 287 00:22:00,799 --> 00:22:04,359 So, as most of you probably know by now, the House took 288 00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:07,559 the step. And this is pretty I don't think it's ever been done before 289 00:22:07,599 --> 00:22:14,119 for somebody who was in the cabinet Homeland Security secretary of Alejandro Majorcus, who 290 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:21,359 is absolutely clueless, I think the worst of the worst. But to waste 291 00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:26,119 time to try to get him out of office. Hello, the election is 292 00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:30,759 in ten months, right, nine months, so if there's an election, 293 00:22:32,519 --> 00:22:36,720 not if there is an election, and it's likely that Biden won't be re 294 00:22:36,799 --> 00:22:38,640 elected, so this guy's out of a job anyway. You know how much 295 00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:44,680 time it takes to they have a whole department, they'll be wasting millions of 296 00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:49,319 dollars. So I fault the Republicans and Johnson seemed to have some common sense 297 00:22:49,319 --> 00:22:52,400 when it came to this, as with many other things. But the rest 298 00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:57,720 of them, who are so hell bent on doing whatever they can to waste 299 00:22:57,759 --> 00:23:03,000 the public's money to go after the guy is useless. He's done a horrible 300 00:23:03,079 --> 00:23:07,880 job. He sucks at his job. Okay, we can all pretty much 301 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:11,480 agree on that, and the Biden Knights don't agree. But here's the guy 302 00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:17,480 who says, well, there's not really a problem. Huh what there's no 303 00:23:17,599 --> 00:23:21,359 problem? What's the matter with you? Of course there's a problem, and 304 00:23:21,799 --> 00:23:26,079 you've helped to create it. But to impeach him, it'll probably die in 305 00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:30,160 the Senate anyway. So I'm getting worked up on he just but still, 306 00:23:30,279 --> 00:23:34,519 it's just so much, there's so many like it's it feels like just in 307 00:23:34,599 --> 00:23:38,440 peach problem across the board, everybody is always just throwing that in like just 308 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:45,839 we're it's it's just easy to do anymore. Just impeachyep it will you will 309 00:23:45,079 --> 00:23:49,200 if Trump gets re elected, I guarantee you, the first week he's president, 310 00:23:49,279 --> 00:23:53,000 somebody's gonna try to impeach him, because that's the way already happens. 311 00:23:53,079 --> 00:23:57,079 Yeah, we're already trying to go after him to figure out some way to 312 00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:04,799 say deem him in disqualified from taking the election and becoming a razy, crazy 313 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:08,640 crazy. So it's great business time for Caldron. I would think the phones 314 00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:14,279 would be ringing off the hook and people would be ordering nauseum. That's right. 315 00:24:14,319 --> 00:24:17,839 You know, it'll be twenty five years this April, and we've been 316 00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:22,240 helping customers lose weight safely and effectively for twenty five years. So if you 317 00:24:22,279 --> 00:24:25,599 need to lose a y, you've really got to check it out on our 318 00:24:25,599 --> 00:24:29,519 website top loss dot com because, like Doug said, it's so much more 319 00:24:29,559 --> 00:24:33,000 than just a white loss product.

Caldron at Top Lost thanks to Elizabeth 326 00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:07,160 Miller here, one of the great calitrinconsultants at toploss dot com Social media now 327 00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:14,680 in the focus couple of different things, including my experience yesterday with Apple and 328 00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:23,960 the I Tunes and these. I told the story excuse me to j and 329 00:25:25,079 --> 00:25:27,799 James a little while ago about what happened is to have two iPhones and two 330 00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:33,160 iPads, and so I have I don't know how many gigabytes of memory in 331 00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:38,160 the iCloud. But apparently there was a hiccup because the credit card that was 332 00:25:38,279 --> 00:25:42,519 used last year to pay the ninety nine cents a month that it costs to 333 00:25:42,599 --> 00:25:48,079 have this the I had. Every credit card that I owned was hacked last 334 00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:52,319 year, so they are all new numbers. So of course the old numbers 335 00:25:52,119 --> 00:26:00,799 don't work. So we had one day's notice from Apple after they found out, 336 00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:04,720 you know, the credit card charge didn't work, so they said, 337 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,960 if you don't pay today, we'll cut you off. Well I didn't see 338 00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:11,720 it because I was this weekend. I was busy. They sent it to 339 00:26:11,759 --> 00:26:15,359 you over the weekend too, I mean, whenever it runs out, they 340 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:19,279 send it to you. So I I tried to figure out and I couldn't 341 00:26:19,279 --> 00:26:22,839 figure out how to you know, go back and pay it because they shut 342 00:26:22,839 --> 00:26:26,440 everything off so you couldn't connect with them. So I called the guy that 343 00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:32,519 I have is my guru for all of my various and sundry technology, and 344 00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:40,759 for three hours yesterday we had to recreate. They shut off everything. I 345 00:26:40,799 --> 00:26:45,400 didn't have a working iPhone, I didn't have a working iPad. Everything was 346 00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:51,680 shut off for ninety nine cents, right, so ninety five dollars an hour 347 00:26:51,759 --> 00:26:56,799 for the consultant and three hours later and plugging it. We had to plug 348 00:26:56,799 --> 00:27:02,920 it into the tower for my computer in order to get the access because it's 349 00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:06,680 said on all of the screens you're locked. Basically, when you're locked out, 350 00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:10,759 you can't use the iPad, the iPhone. I thought to myself, 351 00:27:11,279 --> 00:27:15,759 use your phone. Dare you No? Everything is shut off? How dare 352 00:27:15,839 --> 00:27:21,279 you do that for ninety nine cents? Especially it only affected the iCloud, 353 00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:25,759 so I couldn't put any more stuff in there. And they had mis done 354 00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:32,160 that as well, because oh I know. One of the things was that 355 00:27:32,279 --> 00:27:36,400 it was they were charging me two ninety nine because I had two hundred biga 356 00:27:36,559 --> 00:27:41,440 jigabits of I don't needed because I only use My guy went in and looked 357 00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:45,400 at you, you've only used five gigabytes of you know, and you don't 358 00:27:45,519 --> 00:27:51,279 need two hundred. You maybe need ten or twenty or thirty. We settled 359 00:27:51,279 --> 00:27:55,480 on fifty. But the point is that it took all this time. And 360 00:27:55,519 --> 00:27:57,599 I bet you there are tons of people listening right now who have gone through 361 00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:00,440 the same thing. I never had these before. But you know, with 362 00:28:00,559 --> 00:28:07,119 all the hacking that goes on, credit cards also are a challenge. So 363 00:28:07,319 --> 00:28:10,720 it's just the fact that things that you already pay for. You already pay 364 00:28:10,759 --> 00:28:12,039 for the phone, the data plan on all that stuff. And it was 365 00:28:12,079 --> 00:28:17,000 a ninety nine cent situation that made all of your devices obsolete for a moment. 366 00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:19,319 Yeah, there you go, you out. Yep, all right, 367 00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:26,200 let's see what MENA is doing. They're looking at Snapchat again. Mark Zuckerberg 368 00:28:26,319 --> 00:28:30,880 offered Snapchat three billion dollars to buy him out and they said no thanks. 369 00:28:32,519 --> 00:28:37,359 And now the last quarter of last year their earnings were abysmal. So the 370 00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:41,559 investors are saying, well, maybe you better go back to mister Zuckerberg and 371 00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:47,480 see if he can re bring whether he'll re up on the three billion dollar 372 00:28:47,559 --> 00:28:51,640 offer to buy the company. And that was back in twenty thirteen. Yeah, 373 00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:55,960 it was only a few years after Snapchat started face, Zuckerberg and Facebook 374 00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:59,240 were kind of like trying to buy up anybody who could be a competitor. 375 00:28:59,279 --> 00:29:03,319 They bought up Yes for one billion, and the dude with Snapchat was like, 376 00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:07,759 no, no thanks, We've got this. Cut to over ten years 377 00:29:07,839 --> 00:29:11,839 later and the investors are like, you can't catch Facebook. You cannot catch 378 00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:17,119 up Tomato. Now they're too far ahead. Yeah so is so is the 379 00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:19,480 deal going to go through? I guess is the question they're trying to figure 380 00:29:19,519 --> 00:29:23,000 out. What I don't know? They turned they turned that off or down 381 00:29:23,799 --> 00:29:27,240 back in twenty thirteen. That was when the three billion buyout happened in there. 382 00:29:27,319 --> 00:29:30,519 So I don't even think they can come back, and if they did, 383 00:29:30,559 --> 00:29:33,480 it would not be for three billion. Three billion. Yeah no. 384 00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:38,759 The next Stefan Good Day download with Doug and Jay Kirshner is made possible in 385 00:29:38,799 --> 00:29:42,400 part by Calitron, which is the safe way for you to lose weight and 386 00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:47,319 keep it off, and also by previlegent, keeping your brain healthy.
