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 priviging keeping your brain healthy. Take a
deep breath, because it's time for sunshine, lollipop and aroses, all of
those things together. Are you ready for that? Jay Kirshner is here,
She's ready. I can tell it's Friday already. Good heavans Friday, Friday,
and it's also these are the IDEs of September, all right, fifteenth
of the month. All right, So we are going to charge into the
hour with some exciting well, all of the news, I guess is exciting.
Are you If you're Jewish, you're excited about the fact that it's Rasha
Shanna. A lot of people who aren't don't understand the significance of this holiday.
It's not mentioned in any religious text anything that you would find about the
history of Judaism if you look at the Torah, if you look in the
Bible, though there is some existing text going back to like two hundred ad.
Uh there's a there's a code of law in the Jewish religion called the
Mishnah jay and the Mishnah. And so this is the beginning of a new
opportunity because it's the Jewish. On the Jewish calendar anyway, the new year
starts with rasha Shanna, first day of the month of Tishra. I've never
been good at pronouncing Jewish or Hebrew names. For religious purposes. The year
begins on the first of the month of Nishana. Right. There are a
lot of terms in here, the probation. It's a very holy holiday,
yep. For in the Jewish gets the holiest of all days, and this
weekend marks a lot of different that wouldn't call it celebration because it's more acknowledgment,
if you will. God passes judgment on all creatures during the time between
now and yam Kapoor, which is ten days from now. So this is
something for some people who are truly there, truly believers. They live or
die by the word in the book, the Book of Life. So at
any rate, if you're celebrating, I guess that is the right word Rashashanna.
You look forward to yam Kapoor because that's the festival out of the darkness
and into the light. In a manner of speaking, sort have started back
in seventy well, they said, two hundred eight, and then it got
a little bit more focused, if you will, around seventy eighty. In
the fourteen hundreds, that was cast away their sins, throwing items into bodies
of water to symbolize getting themselves out of sinful situations. And so the Jewish
people sent, starting in the twenties telegrams congratulations, well, wishing for members
of their group and other groups they are coming into freedom. Interesting that it
started then, because it was within the next ten years that the worst time
in the history of the Jews began with their the ascension. I guess the
right word of Hitler and what he did and how he worked, and yeah,
just the kind of stuff that chills your bone. But still there's some
of it around today. I don't want to be I'm not going to bring
that up because most people know what's going on. And if you're someone who
believes that there's something the Jews where slaves, like black people where slaves.
The Jews started creation because they were different, their own sort of creas,
their own history by being slaves. And so those who still this day remember
and think that all of the prejudice against It's like any other prejudice. They
don't like Jews, I don't like blacks, they don't like what is it
that jew? Why? Why do you not like them? Because you just
don't like them? What is there not to like? There are a lot
of people jealous because of the success. Jewish people are very hard workers in
the main, and they are taught that they need to kind of keep their
nose to the grindstone as they come up, at least not necessarily now.
But that was the children of the children of Israel, the children of that
he the prejudice time of the thirties and forties especially, imagine being responsible.
Imagine this this this guy, this person wasn't even how do you dispatch six
million people and be proud of it? Who thinks that way? What the
hell's the matter with people who think that way? There's something obviously missing,
there's no question about that. But how you get people to believe that?
So anyway, it's pretty amazing. It is. I mean, it's amazing
that people think that way. I guess much as anything else, And I'm
not usually critical of most people, you know, in terms of how they
think you think the way you want, live and let live, but I
can't see that stuff. Live and let live means mind your own business,
get out of my face and leave people alone. Bothering you? Then why
would you bother them? And so many different levels. Yeah, yeah,
all right. Folks at NASA have an ounce they're going to This is straight
out of the Eary Yeller playbook. NASA is going to appoint a secret UFO
chief, a department for UFOs. They're going to be transparent, so they
say, moving for ways to outwardly investigate UFOs following the release of the report
alleging that alien corpses have been found. This kind of sounds like a real
page out of theory right Theory Yeller playbook. Did you highlight and our Good
Day download the conversation we had with Eerie the other day? Yes? Yes,
uh yep. And so if you want to hear the latest from Murray,
it's time for you to find the good Day podcast at good Day show
dot com. All there, All of it is there, and so it's
can you I just think that people who it's like a lot of other things.
You stick your head in the sands. There's no such thing as UFOs
of course there is, and so the they it's now the UAPs, right,
the UAPs Unidentified anomalous phenomenon. Well, I feel like they had to
differentiate to differentiate it because UFO is unidentified flying object and that could even constitute
anything that has an Earth origin. They just didn't know what it was in
the moment, so it was a UFO. But we always think of extraterrestrial
with UFOs, So I totally get why they needed to create another word that
strictly means of an outer space origin, not Earth, not from Earth.
So they're going to when I've used the term secret, why people understand the
person who's in charge of this is going to remain unnamed. No one will
know who this person is and who's on the staff. Yeah, because otherwise
this person otherwise right exactly, So anyway, there's a real stigma this is.
And by the way, Bill Nelson, who is a senator in Florida
before he became the fellow who directs NASA, said it was important to destigmatize
the reporting, and that's why they're keeping That's one of the reasons they're keeping
this person away from the press because there's a negative perception around the reporting of
this stuff, people still make fun of it. People who are ignorant.
The ignoramus is in the world are just as you know. It's I go
back to where we're talking about a few minutes ago, and some of my
friends said, I shouldn't call people names. People who don't like Jews,
or don't like black, people who don't like people that are different than they
are ignoramusists. Leave them alone. If you don't want to associate with them,
that's one thing, but going out of your way to make life miserable
for them, and this kind of is the same catory people have been chastised
all along. I remember if people have made fun of me first time I
came on the air and said, I don't believe in the theory of evolution.
I believe that we came from another planet. More and more that looks
like a possibility because we're looking into doing the same thing as we continue to
kind of help the planet to go to its next stage, which will not
necessarily be with humans on it. And so why would you think that that
wasn't Probably with the ego involved with people who scientific says this or everything about
science is open to scrutiny. And I know I'm going on about this,
but I love the whole because it's fascinating. Yeah, and it's not like
in your it's not like it's in your face. There's the picture that they
this is sort of again out of the aregell Of playbook, that alien corpse,
the pictures the corps that was found in Mexico. Did you see that
picture mummified? It looks like something out of the I think the closest well,
there are a lot of the UFOs that have been in movies over the
years, whether it's Independence Day, this actually this creature looks a little bit
like et It almost looks like a stereotypical alien. Yeah, right exactly.
People said somebody made that up, somebody in Hollywood made that and planted it.
And raised the question though, if aliens have been around here, where
are the bodies, Where are the bodies? Where are the bodies? Who
knows where the bodies that could be buried into somebody's on some farms someplace underneath.
The conthing as like how often man has been to the moon. It's
not it hasn't been that much. It hasn't been that many people, you
know, Yeah, so maybe this is a response in part to the hearings.
There have been a lot of hearings in Congress of the last couple of
years. And this actually, though, if you go back fifty years or
so, the Senate Armed Services Committee had hearings on this stuff when the when
it first came in, and they were all pooh pooed. But now the
House Oversight Committee is involved in Not that it makes any difference whether these guys
are involved, because we all know what their timber is all about, but
it is kind of a fun thing to think about. In a manner of
speaking, here's something that is sad to think about the life and times of
Jimmy and John and Roslyn Carter once again, an update from their grandson.
The grandparents it's remained together and in love as they face the end. Coming
to the end, he said, As we know, the Carter Setter has
announced the President is in hospice care and they're giving him up, giving updates
on the former first Lady as well. So hold a good thought for Jimmy
and Roslyn Carter. All right, So what do we have for celebrity gossip?
What do we have for things that are from social media? Carrie Underwood
has new plans, big plans, continuing plans. Carrie Underwood has been in
Las Vegas, had a residency. It's called a Reflection Tour, I think,
if not mistaken. So this week she has announced that she's going to
extend the Reflection residency into next year. So she's going to go back to
the resort's world A theater eighteen more shows. She was the first resident performer
at this resort's theater when she launched the concert. The five thousand people that
can sit in that auditorium, so there's a lot. I remember when my
favorites, the Moody Blues, I think we're there. As a matter of
fact, I went to see them and it felt differently. They're they're a
good group. There are a lot of the groups from that era that are
good in a five thousand seat auditorim. She's been there since December. They've
been doing this there. She and her her bunch have been there since December
of twenty one. It seems I wonder how that worked. That was during
well COVID was they were kind of COVID on the Wayne by then. Yeah,
exactly, yep, yep, all right, So that's the story for
Carrie Under. 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 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 Privigen 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
Privigen. It has helped me an awful lot. Provigen healthier brain, better
life. Robert Strickler is a content contributor for Privigen and real User based on
a clinical study of subgroups of individuals who are cognitively normal or mildly impaired.
This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any
disease. I'm going to say something that I will predict it will come out.
I don't know. I don't know if I got to apologize. I
always say to people, don't apologize for the bit before you do it,
but this is an observation a radio I'm one of these. I'm I'm a
radio geek. I've been a radio geek since I was a young teenager and
managed to turn it into a career, which a lot of people have dreams
and then they don't follow through on them. But I always wanted to be
on the radio. So anyway, I've owned some radio stations over the years.
I'm a partner and one now over in Hawaii. I sold the other
stations that I had along the way, and I remember running into a problem
and with some other folks. It wasn't in our stations, but I remember
that there was a station that was under the scrutiny of the FCC. The
FCC is the licensing body, the regulating body, the Federal Communications Commission for
radio and television and also for all of the things that you have, your
devices, it's all. It all goes through the regulatory process at the FCC.
So's a fellow that owned a station down in Knoxville, Tennessee, who
having to be black, and he got into a problem with the FCC because
he was a felon. And you're not supposed to the rule is whether it's
good or bad, or right or wrong, you're not supposed to, according
to the FCC rules, be a felon and on a station. And he
missed a number of deadlines for proper recording of information that you're supposed to file.
And so he's been in this protracted battle with the FCC for a number
of years because they wanted to take away his license. And so that situation
has been resolved, but not in the way that I thought was fair.
And so you can take this for what it's worth. This has nothing to
do with the conversation I had in the last half hour, which you can
listen to anytime of the day today at Good dayshow dot com, because we
play the whole program all through the day and you can listen to it.
You don't listen to it when we do it live. So this guy eventually
wins the battle so he can hold onto his radio station. It's the only
black owned station in Knoxville. I don't know if that went into the decision
or not. But what troubles me is I have known station owners who were
a white who did the same thing, who were felons. They became felons
when they owned the stations, so the stations were taken away from them,
and they missed other requirements the FCC had. So I'm asking the question because
I do not know the answer, but it would be interesting to find out,
because there is so much reverse racism or reverse what other There's a lot
of stuff going on now that, in the minds of people is justified because
blacks have had such a tough time, so we'll give him an extra inch
or so in order to succeed. And so whether I think it's on the
surface, I saw this, you know, this isn't really fair, and
I wonder if they did it because the guy's black, And so I'm not
what I'm stirring up here is a thought process. Wondering about the thought process
in doing this that would encourage this because of all the focus on black lives
matter and the attention that they they blacks have gotten deservedly because they got screwed
so badly by the system, if you want to call it that, by
people over centuries. Is this a way to help a fellow who had been
down trodden or does it look at like it's the you know, it's a
racial thing. Motivated by the fact that a lot of blacks have not been
treated I know, I talked about emotionalization of everything, and then also if
anything is generational two. But yeah, white people have not experienced that as
our black brothers and sisters and anybody else who as a person of color.
M So I just I ask it not I'm just asking because I kind of
want to know the answer myself. I haven't looked. I've been able to
do the research to find out what their reason was. But there are a
lot of these things that are going on that are improperly resolved because og blacks
have been treated badly. No one in their right mind would counter that with
anything credible other than to agree blacks have been as we were talking about the
Jews earlier, and other races and minorities that have been downtrodden over the years.
He'll look at the Irish and the in the history of the of our
country, they've been in Chinese coolies in the in the West, same thing.
So do we give them all an extra do we today in twenty twenty
three give him an extra leg up because of what happened in the past.
That's what you know, kind of is the question, all right, don't
have an answer, but I'm just I looked at it and I thought to
myself, you know, is this writer? It isn't right? And you
pretty much everybody who knows me and knows who I am and what I'm about
and is listening to me for a long time knows from probably the least when
it comes to being I am discriminating, but not that kind of discriminating.
Does that make sense? Jay? I'm yeah, I'm just well. And
you are a person's Doug who whenever there is like the first this person,
the first woman who does this, the first black person who does this,
the first Asian person who does this, and you are always kind of like,
why is this the thing? Why are we celebrating this? But not
in the sense of people should not be celebrated in the sense this is twenty
twenty three. Why is it still? Why are we still doing it first
for a lot of this stuff, Why is this not of a societal Norman
anymore? Here's a new research paper revealing that one in five stay home parents
now are fathers. How about this the share of parents here in our country
who are not employed for pay in terms of being a parent the last four
or five years, eighteen percent of parents were Yeah, it's almost one in
twenty, close to twenty percent. Men who stay home aren't working and are
taking care of the children, which I thought I was kind of interesting.
That's a societal. I don't know if it's a norm, but it is
a societal the past yeah, twenty thirty years. Actually, between nineteen ninety
and twenty twenty, the share of mothers who were not employed for pay,
that is, at home, went from twenty eight percent to twenty six percent
of those who were parents and not working. And so now the number of
dads who are at home and not working, that number is at an all
time high here in America, which I think is a very interesting stat.
Well, and the pendulum's definitely swinging. Because before only the men went to
work and the women minded, the children, minded the homes, did all
of that, and that it was it was closer to one percent, one
hundred percent of each side. And then you get more and more women in
the work at place, and more and more often. It's not just not
sou execule, that's not the word I'm looking for. It's not just okay,
well, the women take care of the children and the men to write
the sexiest kind of a thing. It's why is it just women partnership other
than the fact that when the child is young, the mother nurses the child.
But then I know lots of men who are nurturing. How about Yeah,
it's it's an actual partnership with not just Okay, well, these are
the chores. I do the cooking and the cleaning, and you take out
the garbage and do the handy word. Now it's like, if you see
the garbage bag is full, take it out. It doesn't matter who it
is. Like, Yeah, the chores and i'll oplications in the home life
are more so shared. And I don't know if it's just only about the
petrolman's swinging or if it's a generational thing that you are. Of course,
psychology matters, but society does too, and the whole nature versus nurture thing.
And if you grow up in a household where both of your parents have
equal parts and a lot of the tasks, more often than not, you
are going to take that knowledge of a relationship into your adult life. Yep.
If you grow up where one where one parent is only doing a certain
type of work and the other parent is only doing a certain type of work,
then that's your norm and that's what you again will take into your adult
life with your next relationship. All right, So, speaking of men and
parenting and Indiana man facing felony charges today after he got shot in the back
by his two year old son who found the gun on his bed, the
father's bed. Justin Wiley of Fort Wayne, Indiana, charged with neglect of
a dependent resulting in serious bodily injury. Who is this stupid? This guy
obviously on a bed a two year old does not know how to take off
the safety. Like, let's be two year old doesn't even know what the
gun is. It's just an object on the bed. You pick it up,
you play with it. Thank the Lord, the two year olds didn't
shoot their solves. Oh my god, good God. All right. Also,
I guess this from the good God department. Texas Girls Count Troop,
maybe you're gonna have to come up with a new badge for this young Texas
a girl, a youngster. This is pretty terrifying when you get right down
to bottom, to the bottom of the barrel. Here the closer encounter the
troop had on an overnight camping trip at Huntsville State Park. Groups swimming in
the water, then an alligator fourteen feet long charges toward them. The alligator
one of the youngster, let's no, this was a troop leader. Nicole
Glenn said. There was no doubt in my mind the alligator was not going
to try to eat somebody. However, this is some of the girls thought,
Okay, this is the end of the line. I thought this was
the day I die. How about that? Even if the alligator didn't detect,
who wants to be in the water when there's a gator approaching as a
warning? Right, gator approaching? Gator approaching. So anyway, a lot
of chaos as you can imagine, the girls all screaming. So this is
the troop leader put herself between the alligator and the troop members. So that
was pretty smart. 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.

Thanks to Elizabeth Miller here, one of the great Caldron consultants at toploss dot
com. Connecting now with our auto expert at our autoexpert dot com. Nick
Miles is here. Just come back from the Detroit Auto Show and it's interesting
you got out of town before the town closed up. The town is now
on strike. Thousands of workers are at all the automakers, the three biggies
are all on strike. And so what does this mean to the consumer,
What does it mean to the dealerships, What does it mean to the workers
in the in there. I'm guessing one of the issues is the same issues
the writer's strike, and that's artificial intelligence or artificial robots or whatever. And
more and more, the more they have strikes like this, the more robots
are going to be put in the plants. Right that that was a very
obvious way to go, and I think that's one of the things that's being
negotiated in a lot of the contracts DOUG. As of midnight Eastern time last
night, the union officially called the strike. They told everybody at ten pm
that the factories they were going to be hitting, and the first time that
they've ever hit all three automakers at the same time, only in three factories.
And there's only a percentage of the one hundred and forty five thousand UAW
workers who came out on strike. But this the leader Finn of the union
seems ready for a long term strike. He's they're not. But can the
people that are on the lines look at what's happened. It's pretty much destroyed
most of the writers who are on the cusp. Anyway, after three four
months of this stuff, what's been the longest strike in you in New AW
history? Can you remember I can't, but I know that they have gone
on for over a year. But these actions don't tend to be full workouts
walkouts. It's usually just one ordering there. Yeah, I mean, this
is a ballet. It's so complicated. This is not a square dance,
and a lot of people think it is. But you've got to look at
several things here. The average UAW worker gets nineteen dollars an hour, so
between seventeen and about twenty one dollars an hour. And then the average if
you take everybody in the United States and you add them all together and you
divide, you know, all their money together, and you divide it out
to everybody equally, the average United States hourly wage would be eighteen dollars an
hour. So I mean sort of technically they're on the upper side. Anyway,
that's a sort of negative for the union. On the other side is
who's going to win out of this. It's the It's the foreign automakers that's
who wins, because they're still making cars. They're still working cars in never
even though there's probably three months supply of cars before things start to be noticeable
at a dealership. And the only people to win are not the consumer again
COVID. The consumer didn't win, you know, any any of these expensive
situations. Then Humer loses and again, guess who else is going to pay
for this? The consumer? So look forward to a fun town in the
old time or the old town tonight. So you were in Detroit, not
for the strike but for the auto show. Pretty interesting timing of the this
year's out of the Detroit Auto Show? What'd you come like? What'd you
walk away with? Would you come away? Would you learn I walked away
with? The America is not as strong as it used to be. The
Auto Show used to be this massive, big affair that used to go on
for days with thousands of media there. And it was a very scaled down
event. And I think because the strike was possible, a lot of the
automakers had scaled down there the possibility of what they were going to do,
so they didn't bring out the big guns. And there were sort of only
one all new car, which was the GMC Arcadia. The rest were in
the mid cycle refresh What is that all about? What's the Arcadia above?
What is the Arcade is a three row suv from GMC. It's very luxurious.
You know, they have the Denali trim. They have the super Cruise.
Someone compete with the upscale wagon ere or the range is that supposed to
be it's one yeah, one step below though. So it's what we call
a midsize suv where they're sort of more full size SUVs. It really competes
with things like the Forward Explorer. It's that sort of size. But they've
done a good job in this vehicle. There was a new Cadillac, a
new Jeep truck, and the big the big I guess reveal of the show
was the new Ford F one fifty that gets a lot of new mod cons.
But again, you know, if you want all of those tools,
but does it have that? You know, the one they had last year
Andrew had a generator in it and a hybrid. I've been driving one of
those on the farm. It's from the dealership. It's really an interesting truck.
Yeah, it doesn't even feel like a truck. It feels like a
like an upscale car. Yeah yeah, I mean they make them drive like
that now so the whole family can drive them. They really what it got
was a heads up display and a real special opening tailgate. So that's all
it got this year. Yeah, all right, there's the latest on the
strike. And the preceding element of excitement in Detroit before the strike was the
auto show and his Nick's dog says the Akadie's very exciting. Thank you,
