The Duck Stephen Good Day download with Doug and Jay Kirshner is made possible in
part by Kellatrin, which is the safe way for you to lose weight and
keep it off, and also by privigent keeping your brain healthy. Let's get
down to business here. Lots of items on the docket for the last day
of August thirty first it is Thursday, Doug Stephen with Jay Kirshner. There's
a lot of stuff. Are your fate hangs in the balance? What we
say will determine life or death? Up or down, in or out,
left or right. I think we've had so much pressure it is right exactly.
So seventy people who are deaden a fire down at Johannesburg, South Africa.
You see that early morning blaze their five story building. Well, and
so it's anything anything like that happens around the world. It gets people's attention,
and often for the wrong reason. The reason that I would be interested
in that story is not only the human implications, but how did it have
its kind of like remember when those buildings fell down in Florida a couple how
many years ago? Was that too? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah, the one that had already been violating different codes. Yeah, yeah,
so there was something to be learned from that, beside the fact that
it was a tragedy. It is we learned from our experiences, hopefully,
we learned from mistakes. We learned from things that are done not only to
us, but bias, and that would be something going on when there's a
fire like that. Well, it's the same. I suppose we could apply
that to what happened in Maui. There is a lot of reasons. I
thought it was interesting. We had an email from somebody who lives over in
Maui and who listens to the program. And we have, as I've said
any times before, of the hundreds of stations that carry this program, thankfully,
there are a couple on the islands, and in fact, the one
that I have ownership and doesn't carry this program. Interestingly enough, it's a
it's a music station. So we have Heidi and what's the other there's two
guys and Sonny named Heidi. I forgot. I met her at the Graces
Matter. Actually won an award with you very pleasant, but I don't remember
who. Not important to the story at any rate. So we have the
focus on that tragedy. We have. Is there a day that we can
have that isn't tragic. Here's the note from Cindy j. Helloa. She
writes, I wanted to say mahallo to you for your continued comments about Maui.
Personally, we are luckier than some. We lost a store in downtown
Lahinah called Moonbow Tropics, was our biggest and best location, sadly had about
sixty percent of our inventory. But the people there made it out and they're
okay. Having the celebrities like Jason Momoya and others, along with some local
politicians telling people to stay away from Maui at this time has hurt the island
so much. We still have two stores. This lady and her family she's
running about, so we're luckier than some, but they are so slow at
the moment, and we're trying to keep our employees employed along with paying our
own rents and our food and so forth. There are so many others in
the same boat as we are, but we're we're focusing on our website.
It's tourism as all but stopped again. Thanks for your continue comments about the
island. Maui is open, Lahina is closed, so many have changed their
travel plans to the other Hawaiian islands. So they're doing fine, but Maui
is not. So I think I've said any number of times, probably every
day at least once jay since this all started, how people got it wrong,
and how there was a lot of hoopla that was whether it's intentional or
unintentional. It still is a problem because it's not right, it's not exactly
and it's a horrible situation. And West West Maui, but we are hearing
this in the news and a lot of people are being told stay away,
let them do their work, let them get the efforts going. And Maui.
Maui is big enough that you still go to Maui. They really talk,
and even so much so that a lot of the tourists when in Hawaii
and Maui and on Maui that the or us go to sleep at a certain
time, you know what I mean, because they're tired, and so they
slash all businesses and restaurants and all of that, slash prices by like eight
pm to get the locals out, just so that they can get rid of
their daily stock. Because the fish, the seafood is so fresh, it's
it's fresh caught every day. A lot of sushi restaurants will not carry anything
over. They want to get rid of it. They can't just rely on
the locals to spend money there. They need the tourism. And the fact
that people are being told to stay off of Maui, go to the other
islands, or change your travel plans altogether sumsal to what has happened. They
being told to stay away from Hawaii, never mind stay away from Maui.
Yeah. And one of the people that's getting it in the neck is Oprah.
She's apparently purchased a couple of thousand acres of land on Maui and she
showed up to give aid to those people who didn't have any food, didn't
have any shelter. This was I think she was around for four or five
days. But now she and Jeff Bezos bezos you say bezos anyway, are
being blamed for the problems that residents have had to endure. There's a video
clip floating around from a Maui City Council meeting jay took place last Week's gone
viral. One of the people there complaining about the lack of urgency to put
the fires out, whether it was intentional or whether it was just that's the
way business is. It does seem that there are a lot of confusing signals,
not only putting the fires out of dealing with fires, but dealing with
the early the advanced warning. That kind of stuff seems to have been,
as we've said a number of times, awkwardly mishandled. So of mishandled.
Yeah. Right, So, anyway, the people there think that Oprah has
come with her her teams of of the the video videographers and everybody's talking about
this and and here's the here's the flip side, like, is that self
promotion? Is she's trying a lot of people are saying that she's taking advantage
of the situation and all of this, but also is she trying to show
what's actually going on? Because there are not very many video of the UC
photos of the five damage, but we're not saying the videos and all of
the people who are displaced and out of homes and don't have anything except from
what Oprah's people are filming. Yeah, Well, she's gained one hundred thousand
new followers as she's continued to do what she's doing online. I don't think
she's the issue. I think oftentimes when people I'm not I'm kind of neutral
on Oprah. I've for a long time thought she was pretty cool, pretty.
She accomplished a lot and has contributed a lot and helped a lot of
people. So if there's a point here that maybe she's it's an awkward time
for this and is she taking manage. Some people think she's still buying up
land because the prices have gone down and she's taking advantage of this situation.
I don't have any facts to back that stand up. I'm just telling you,
yeah, I don't. I don't see it's being opportunistic on this situation
because she's not just talking the talk, she's actually walking the walk. She's
not she's, of course she's donating money, but she's not just donating money
and sending thoughts in prayers. She is actually she went there to help,
to truly be there because she that's a home to her, that's her her
her second home. She loves that place. I don't know the whole business
of people and what they think. Here's somebody that that posted Oprah has been
buying up land in Maoi like crazy, crazy five and twenty acres. She
bought for three point eight nine million this year, three hundred and thirty acres
for two point four seven millions, bought last year two ten acres swaths of
land for one hundred thousand dollars each. In the last few years, she's
gone from about one hundred acres to thousands. Okay, So so what it's
funny. Oh yeah, people have resistance to those. As you said,
she's bigger than life, and she contributes and helps, and sometimes she's helping
herself as well as helping other people. That's kind of the way it is
in the human condition. I'm over the overview. I'm kind of over that.
But the looking at the overview of these disasters, whether it be what
happened in Hawaii and now a lot of people have their focus on the destruction
that took place because of the hurricane, which is no longer a hurricane Idealia
Idealia. We pronounced it Idealia or Idelia. I thought it was Idealia anyway,
So became a tropical storm when it hit land, did do a lot
of pounding in Florida. We'll have John Harper from w m EO with this
later on this morning to talk about the situation as they recover. Georgia's South
Carolina now being hit. And there's a thankfully for you where you are in
Ohio, Jay, and for where I am in Massachusetts. There's a high
pressure system coming down from Canada that's pushing what's left of that storm out in
the ocean. So you and I and a lot of people from Ohio through
Pennsylvania in Virginia, the whole Northeast corridor is going to have beautiful, beautiful
weather for the next it could be ten days at least for a week anyway,
So it will only impact us. What's happened there will only impact us
by what we see and what we hear. And with a storm like this,
there is destruction. And so that's kind of the way it is.
And more and more people are focused on radio because of these crises. It's
kind of it's come along at a time when there's this criticism or there's this
focus on AM radio and whether it have it or not to have it,
whether it should continue what it does, blah blah blah. And yet in
every single instance where there have been problems in our country, as far away
as off the mainland is Hawaii, or what's going on here with these storms.
The one stalwart, the one fixture, the one thing that's help people
are those who are using what's available on AM radio. Thank you. The
unions are the ones who are responsible for having Labor Day. It was something
that happened. I think I'm going back to the nineteen thirties. I think
it was during Frank and Roosevelt's presidency that this all started. And so does
it recognize the American worker? It's supposed to? But does it that's the
question? Does it do what it's supposed to do? I guess that would
be an individual question. Ask yourself, what do you know? I mean
about your own job. We expect you know about that, But what do
you know about other people's jobs? And what do you think you need to
know about what other people have in terms of responsibility and how hard their jobs
may be. I don't think we really do. Isn't it odd that when
you and I feel like this is more of an American thing to do,
but when you meet someone you tend to ask the unintentionally rude question what do
you do for a living? And in our society, especially of networking nowadays,
it can come off as very opportunistic and while you're trying to get to
know somebody asking what do you do for a living? It can come off
as so what can you do for me? But at the same time,
these aren't questions we ask our friends, some of our best friends. Does
everybody know what their best friend truly does? You might know the company for
which they work, but do you know what they actually do? Because you're
having deeper conversations, not just the typical So what do you do for a
living? M Yeah, that's that is what we are. So what do
you do? It's a conversation starter, I suppose ice breaker. Well what
do you then do? Maybe the other question is do you have a freckle
on your butt? I noticed the temple on your cheeks? Do you have
all? Right? Yeah? That? Yeah? Where's your birthmark? Show
us that? Speaking of workers here in Boston, at the airport the other
day, when I was landing, there was a hubbub but I didn't realize
what it was, And then I found out that a worker on a forklift
truck which apparently he lost control of it. It fell over on him at
the airport and it killed him. This is an accident, you know,
there are some of these loading areas and all of the engine have you get
on a plane, you look outside the plane and see all of the hubbub,
all the activity, all of the little trams running around with food and
with baggage and with fuel and all that stuff. You ever watch, it's
a really interesting story. A great way yeah to this was a fellow in
the jet blue end of the airport and the machinery overturned. Apparently he ran
into part of the structure and so anyway that's it. Must have hit it
hard because these things have a cage around them and that's supposed to protect them.
But some like the push that gets used you know when the when the
plane is backing out of the plane's not actually doing that. There's what they
call it. No, actually that's not true. Planes do have reverse the
jet engines when you land. When you hear that the roar of the jet
engines, those are the engines being reversed so as to slow the plane down
but the plane. And they used to use these on planes like the MD
eighties and the DC nines that had tail engines on them. They in some
of the smaller airports where they didn't have those little trucks that push you away
from the gate. They would reverse the engines and that would pull the plane
away from the gate. And not many people knew that, not many people.
It's not as easy to do nor as good. The rear engine planes
didn't seem to be hurt by it, but if you did it with the
most you know, all the conventional planes today have the engines under the wings,
and it apparently is not good for the structure, the superstructure of the
plane to do it, to put the engines in reverse that way. And
then when I was told that, I asked that question, and then I'm
thinking to myself, if you're landing plane lands hits the ground one hundred and
eighty miles an hour. So as they put the brakes on her, are
you know a lot of squealing depending on what kind of a plane it is,
And then they throw them, it's almost like there isn't enough room.
You're wondering who I'm gonna end up in the front of a building or are
we gonna go over into the ocean. You know how they do this notoriously
at lax They have long runways there, but they still put the thrusters on
and the planes. Everything that you have in your lap, everything that's on
the seat onto the floor, it goes, and you know, you always
feed yourself being pulled ahead by that. And so anyway, that's the story
of I don't know. I got off on that because of what happened to
this fellow. And there's nothing that he was dead there. Whatever it was,
it must have it must have gotten him. But anyway, dangerous stuff,
all right. Speaking of that, a mother of two died from extremely
rare infection. She got bitten by a dog and it seemed like an innocent
dog bite. She was playing with her friends German shepherd when she got a
small nip on her hand. Lady's name was Tracy ride Out, fifty three
years of age. Didn't think any of it. It's like a dog bite.
And we've all been bitten. You've been bitten by a dog. I
have not. I've gotten scratched by dogs. I've never been I've never been
bit. My son was bit by a dog on his wrist. Fortunately it
didn't break skin, though, And I think it's one of those things.
It's when it breaks skin, especially if cats. Oh my gosh, if
a cat bites you and it breaks your skin, you need to go to
the doctor, there's a sia and that's what happens with cat scratch fever or
something like that. She had this dog broke skin, and she just thought,
oh, it's a dog bite. People get bit by dogs all the
time, they don't always break skin. Now I've had this happen, I'm
The first time I get a dog bite was when I was about five years
old. I was on my tricycle and I was going down the side walk
at a my aunt's house and there was a collie laying on the grass and
his tail was in the walkway, and I rode over it with my bike,
and the dog get up and bit me, which I suppose she was
entitled to do since they ran over her tail. Never forgot that incident,
and then over the years I had a couple of dogs bite me here and
there, and like this thing, I didn't think any of it. I
didn't wash them out. I don't even remember washing out a couple of them
that I had. But this woman had a rare bacterial infection that spread to
her kidneys and her liver and her blood, and it killed her fast.
All of her organs just shut down, and so that was they had her
on dialysis and they didn't do any good. The infection was, as the
authority said, was extremely rare. Family set up a go fund me page
to pay the medical bills and funeral costs. But just think about it,
think about how what do we take for granted? Maybe that's the question here.
What in your life do you take for granted, whether it's something that's
good or bad. Oh well, it's just one of those things. Yeah,
not like, don't overreact, No dirt on it, walk it off.
Well, I'm a believer in throwing dirt on stuff like that. Actually,
I think it's good for it. All right, here's the discovery from
the science department, the folks that are working on enzymes and that sort of
thing. Enzymes are normally something that we associated with what's in our body.
Enzymes helped to break down the food and our digestive system, and you probably
take we've heard me talk to doctor Jack Stockwell about his lee end energy enzymes
that break down they convert the food that you have better in your stomach into
energy. Well, apparently science has discovered an enzyme that converts air into energy
and the result is a new, cleaner way to make energy. So this
is for all those who have you perhaps you should support this instead of buying
an electric car. This will probably get you further. Not that you can
do it at home. But this is about this good bacteria, which is
these micro organisms, microorganisms that are part of what's in us and in the
atmosphere and in existence. Here. They figured out how to capture this good
bacteria, and they actually have figured out how it can make electricity pretty much
out of thin air, which is really quite amazing. And so but you
know, you look at something like this and you think, Okay, this
is the simplest, easiest and best way. Let's put some money behind it.
But there's no money to be made here. So one wonders whether someone
some of these you know, climate control phony blow eas I would get behind
something like this because the whole climate scam that's going on now is all about
making money. And you can see the federal government throwing like hundreds of thousands
of dollars. I just saw something, Jay, I think you said it
to me, two hundred and thirty three million dollars, or maybe I saw
it my farm one of my farm trade papers. Two hundred thirty three million
dollars been set aside by the Biden administration. Didn't you send me that information?
I think, yes, yeah, yeah, to do something that's questionable
when it comes to helping on the farm with energy creation. I've forgotten what
it actually was, but I know that it's When I looked at it,
I thought, it's got a dicey. What the heck are they going to
do with this? Anyway. The reason I bring this up is because it's
one of those things that now science has come around, they've been trying to
work on this. I think it's felt to me Jay like it was almost
an accent, one of those things that's created when you're looking for something else
and then yeah, yeah came along and he stumble across it and run with
yeah exactly. So anyway, that's the latest story on enzymes. I am
Robert Strickler. My wife Joyce and I have been married for fifty three years.
Certainly, one of the really important things in my life are our children
and our grandchildren. I am essentially a writer. I've been involved in communications
in the media. I've been an avid fly fisherman for at least forty or
more years. I've been taking 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 privig and it
has helped me an awful lot. Provigen healthier brain, better life. Robert

is the celebrity news portion sort of trending things on social media, and we
have Selena Gomez in our sights. She's one of those who are making it
enacting and in music, right Selena Gomez, Oh yeah, from the get
go. She got her start at a very young age on Barney and then
she was a Disney Channel child with Barney. You mean the purple Barney,
the big purple dinosaur was what'd she doing that? She was one of the
children. She was, yeah, Barney, and then she went to Disney
and she was a Waverley place and music and acting, and she has a
beauty line. I mean, girl is fierce. Okay, so what is
she about? Thirty? Now, how old is she? I think she
just heard thirty her last birthday. Yeah, I believe so. All right,
So the folks had SAG after she's a member, are complaining about her
promoting only Murders in the Building, which is a new Hulu series she's in.
Apparently, according to the rules, you can't go out and promote your
work. You can't be interviewed, you can't do any social media posting.
Who they're striking? Yeah, the struck businesses, right, which so Hulu
is streaming, that's the platform. That's one of the main reasons that the
strike is happening because of streaming stuff. And it's the third season and it's
not necessarily that she was promoting it. She wasn't saying, oh, go
watch or anything. It was a behind the scenes post and she was just
saying that she misses everybody and did tag. She did tag well and this
isn't even sag after that came after her yet that we know of, But
she did tag the Hulu they're handle and everything. So she did technically cross
quote unquote cross the lines of the strike. Now is that a loophole because
she's also a producer for it. But a lot of her fans were actually
commenting on this saying like, hey, you need to take this down.
You're going to you're going to get yourself in trouble. Take this down.
And then people who are not fans are coming after her saying that she's awful
because of this. And she did remove the post, but as anything on
social media doesn't matter if you remove it, you posted, someone took a
screenshot, it's out there forever. Yep. So anyway, they are not
giving interviews per se. I guess Steve Martin is in this and Martin short
in this show. Meryl Stripe is in this season three Paul rud Yeah,
it's it's a great name stuff. Yeah, all right, Well she's in
good company. And I think that people may be carrying as it's about time
these strikes get over anyways, for as I'm concerned, let's get it.
Let's fix it there, boys and girls. So it's great business time for
Calidron. I would think the phones would be ringing off the hook and people

people from all over that region, all over the country. In fact,
talks to people all over the world because this program is broadcast all over the
world and people get the number three, five, two seven, three five,
fourteen hundred. That's the number to be in touch with Ken's office.
And that's how you can connect and get and take advantage to get the insight
that he has into what's going on in your body. You need another opinion,
that's the way, great way to get a plus what good cardiologist?
Here you go, doctor Ken. Three five two seven three five one four
zero zero. We're into questions for doctor Ken. Some of our questions reflect
your calls to us at eight five, five nine nine nine three six eight
four. Before we get to one of those, there is a certain bit
of information I promised we talk about with regard to testosterone levels, the idea
that we lose testosterone. Unfortunately for me, I haven't lost it. I
guess I don't know why I haven't. Maybe you can tell me you know
my body as well as I do from the medical point of view, and
so I just wonder why my score is as high as it is given my
age. Well, this workport this week in the Annals of Internal Medicine to
answer that question, because there has been a question for decades, this testosterone
level just go down after age seventy or is it related to your health.
Well, we do know that men's testosterone levels remain pretty steady dove until age
seventy, and then after that the production of mail sex hormone does star through
the client. When testosterone does fall, the result maybe increase weakness and fatigued
mini sexual performance, lost of muscle mass, and a higher risk for diabetes
and the mensia. Unfortunately, you don't have any of that. But on
why range of factors contribute to a post set the decline in testosterone, and
these include heart disease, smoking, history, cancer, diabetes, high blood
pressure, excess body weight, reduced activity, and even marriage. You have
none of those right. In particular, being overweight or obese has a much
more important association with lower testosterone levels relative to older age alone. And in
this article, the scientists wrote that the paper was the big question is why
does marriage lower your testosterone levels? And they stated in this paper that the
work the research was not powered adequately to answer why. There was some speculation
about when you're married, you have dependence, you may be stressed, but
it was all speculation. But why marriage lowers testosterone level? I'll leave that
up to you, all right. Next question has to do with the first
case of human West Nile virus found in a good long time. There's some
of it here where I am in the northeast. Do we need to talk
a little about what it is and are we going to get scared to death
by the fact that mosquitoes are around? Where's a lot of water. This
is the first person I saw who was getting a seventy year old woman.
Here's another guy in his forties tested positive. This may be this may be
in your backyard. Does because the two cases that were reported this year there
this week, they're both in Massachusetts. It's not a virus. This is
a virus that usually lives in in animals like birds mosquitoes and bite the birds
and then bite the humans. It's carried the virus and lives in animals,
carried by mosquitoes and then bites humans. It's unusual, but there were two
cases in Massachusetts reported this week. M all right, let's talk about There
is a question here on nar can naarca n Apparently it's now available for over
the counter purchasing. We have to be described. Doesn't this work on overdoses?
And why would somebody get it? I guess wondering why it's over the
counter. Is there is there that much of a problem. I guess there
is. That's why I guess we're talking about. Right, you've heard of
fittonel, right, Yeah, sure of course, yeah, right of course.
I mean he sarcastically said, you've heard of stonel. Well. Nar
Can is the antidote to whatever opioid overdose you have, and the widespread availability
of nar can't is a wonderful thing. It's now available even by a nasal
spray and we give it intramuscularly. But having this widely available saves lives and
immediately blocks the effects of the opioids. And you take fit nar can,
you're going to live. So one wonder is whether you just keep it around
in case you need it? It seems rather that's right, That is creep
all right. Answers to some important questions medically from doctor Kennet Late Cardiology,
