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. Believe
it or not, it's Friday, the sixteenth of June. On Monday,
they have that silly what is it? Juneteenth holiday? Hardly call it silly.
It's silly it is. It's not too many holidays have it on.
It's the idea behind It's fine, But why do we have to have another
day off, another holiday? My city is going to fly the flag over
the city Hall building, and I wonder the question that I would have about
this tree shout Andrey, Yeah, we got to introduce everybody here. I'm
Dug Stephen, Jay Kirshner is here, James Collins at the controls in our
studio in Dallas. The idea behind June teenth, it's interesting and compelling,
I would say, But I say, June tenth, would you like to
explain? I must admit to the fact that I think as I just sort
of indicated, that we have too many holidays. In the meantime, educating
people as to what this is about is another story. So I'm not suggesting
we ought not to understand what it's about. I just think that we have
too many frivolous probably not the right word, too many distracting holidays. This
is a perfect opportunity, maybe the last week of school, for youngsters in
school, to learn about some of the principles and properties of Juneteenth. So
having said that, you may, if you'd like, explain what it's about.
Why you think it's a good idea to have a holiday on that day,
Jane. It commemorates the emancipation of enslaved African Americans. It is a
very I agree with you. There are a lot of not necessarily unnecessary holidays,
but holidays where people do not need to be off of school, banks
do not need to be closed. Juneteenth is not one of them. June
teeth is very important, and why isn't it connection Well, but why isn't
it held in connection with other holidays or other days that commemorate those people who
would be important like Martin Luther King Jr. In the so called black movement,
which is a term that I find also objection about because I think that
that demigrates the whole the black movement and black lives matter and stuff. I
just this is me. It's held on June teeth is held on June nineteenth
because in eighteen sixty five, on June nineteenth, that was when freedom for
slaves was proclaimed in Texas. And what's Texas like today when it comes to
relationships with black and white people? I would say that I chuckle about because
I probably shouldn't chuckle. But what I find is it's kind of oxymoronic.
There are and people say, I mean, what's going on in Texas?
Texas month? I would not describe Texas as the most progressive state in the
country. And maybe I'll leave it at that, all right, So anyway,
we'll talk more about because we'll be on the air on Monday, we'll
go through a number of the stories that are important. Actually the day before
is Father's Day, and maybe we'll spend some time on that during this hour
of the Good Day Program. Looking ahead at what we will be talking about
on the Talk Radio Countdown Show and the Talk Radio Review. Anybody got a
guess? You can take a guess at social media. What's number one this
week? Facebook and Instagram at Good Day Radio Show, Twitter, Good Day
on here, What do you think and take a good shot eight five five
nine nine nine. Doug is also a connection to us from the Good News
Department Today a lot of California stuff. Jennifer will be with us when we
do our talk radio review. Sometimes I saved the California stuff her because of
her being there and her expertise when it comes to things going on in California.
Here's the story of a woman who was found and it looked like she
was on the beach and she found some firewood, or she thought it was
firewood anyway, so I took some pictures strange looking thing for sure, and
then she just kept walking. As it turns out, Jay, she had
stumbled across something very remarkable, the tooth of a mastodon, and after posting
pictures of it, seemed to set off a chain reaction. She didn't know
what she was looking at the importance of it. It's because it does look
like an old piece of firewood you look at the pictures. The fellow who
actually recognized what it is is Wayne Thompson, who's a paleontology collector at Santa
Crue. His museum. It's a natural historical museum, so apparently up in
Santa Cruz. There are a lot of these things being found masted on remains,
that is, and this fellow from the museum reassembled a hole masted on
skull for the museum. Took a couple of years to do it. So
he found this woman whose name is Jennifer Shoe, explained the situation and asked
her to go back and get this bone. But as she arrived, she
realized that unlike her, someone else didn't pass up the chance to grab the
tooth. So there was a lot of beach combing that went on. Didn't
get it, they folks. Wolden went on to social media pleading for this
thing to be turned in, and then there was a call from a fellow
who was taking a jog. He didn't know what it was, but it
took it home and then he gave it to the museum. So there you
go. Long story short, this goes back to the Ice Age. For
those of you who didn't these things were huge. They're not dinosaurs by any
stretch of imagination, but they're lots yeah, with long, really long tusks.
Yeah yeah, right, like five million years ago. They were on
the planet wandering around, so that's that. There you go, good ness
rains, So tell me whether you think this is something. There are people
who want to protect geese. I'm not one of them. A geese are
a blight on the farm. Their poop is poisonous and kills young animals.
But there's an interesting story because people think that geese are a okay, and
they are as long as they don't get you into a situation as they are
in around here. I have a couple of hayfields on the farm that have
been ruined by geese. So I'm not a fan. But somebody, and
this is you can make a judgment on your own. There's a pond nearby
that's kind of a sanctuary, wildlife sanctuary, and some clown was out hunting
with the bow and arrow that stuff. There's a lot more of that going
on now than they used to be. And so somebody takes bow and arrow
and shoots this Canadian goose geese goose, and the goose the arrow hits its
mark, it doesn't kill the goose. In fact, if you were to
go online and just probably enter in goose with arrow in it, you'd see
a picture of this goose floating around in the lake in this new wildlife sanctuary
with an arrow sticking through his body. Poor thing. Yeah, I find
an amazing the way mother nature works, the way sometimes you know, under
circumstances like that, an animal will be able to survive. It just is
really it's very interesting. But you know, the world is full of interesting
things. And that's just one more thing that I thought i'd call your attention
to. All Right, let's get to the mundane things that are going on,
Jay. A couple of people were hurt in a shooting near the championship
parade that they had in Denver yesterday for the Nuggets. What a Matt,
What is the matter with you people who think this is okay? Is there
anybody among us who thinks this is okay? There was a big gathering,
obviously, a big parade for the Nuggets won their first NBA title. So
the people who were shot, I'm not sure. Is there an update on
what their condition is. It seems like it was it was a targeted shooting,
not not anything unlike that, and it was potentially related to a bad
drug deal or a drug deal gone wrong. Potentially great, all right.
A couple of people from California have found dead in a luxury hotel in Mexico,
forty one year old man and a twenty eight year old woman from Newport
Beach died from intoxication by some substance. I guess they haven't determined what it
is yet. No signs of any violence. So this adventurous spirit that they
had to go down there and have a good time, gotta beat drugs,
right, substances, Yes, Well, one of the other things is that
alcohol. Sometimes in different locations, people are drugged and there's a certain they
order a drink out of bar or something, and there's other stuff in it,
like not even just roofy, or they go somewhere in bio bottle of
alcohol hall and sometimes there's something else in it. That's a possibility too.
It could be full and drug related, unknowing knowingly to be determined. Well,
it's tourist travel time. You get into June, July, August,
and so it happens at this time of year, and it seems to have
since COVID has more people so restless, they wanted to get out and about
right, So traveling here, there and everywhere. As another story floating around
today of an American tourist who was killed near a castle in Germany. They're
just touring, but apparently they were attacked by another American that they met,
and so again here we have the crazies are out. This is in Bavaria,
which is one of the most beautiful places. If you've ever been to
Germany, and you can go to Bavaria, it is a stunning the view.
Who are stunning in the Bavarian Alps. So they were up at this
nineteenth century palace apparently, which was as it turns out, one of the
reasons that it's a tourist attraction is because it was the inspiration for the castle
and sleeping beauty. And so there are a couple of women up there met
a man. They were all hiking, and the man lured one of them
onto a path. And I guess you can figure out what the rest of
it. You can probably piece together. It's just well, and it's just
it's not even in a situation of an American dying abroad at the hands of
like a local or something like that. Yeah, the suspect is American too.
Yep. And there were five people who were killed in a shooting at
a Jehovah's witness hall in Germany that went on yesterday while day in Germany,
it just the people say to me, why would you talk about it was?
And I I get that. I understand why he would think it probably
isn't necessary to talk about how is your life better with me telling you that
story? And maybe it isn't, but it is something that's going on,
and it does bring us around to having paying attention to the violence in the
world and try to think to ourselves why that's the question. Why the packers
and trackers are here packing and tracking a Friday, the sixteenth of dream.
Remember that means you can translate it anyway you'd like to. This is our
moment in the sun for social media. Every hour during this portion of the
program, we dig around to find as some things coming either from you or
from folks who have sent us info on things that are trending. Carlos Santana
has forgiven the man who sexually abused him pretty much every day since well when
he was at ten, eleven, twelve years old. He was talking about
his journey to find peace and acceptance. You know, when I see things
like this, I wonder how much these events certainly have to they shape the
individual as they mature. But how much did it affect his music? That's
what I would like. I don't think anybody really asked him that question is
directly as that, but because he's so well known, this is a story
that didn't have anything to do with his path to being a star. But
did it? You know, sometimes those things do the bad. This horrible
story maybe led to something good. Maybe it made him somehow, it triggered
the talent. I don't know the answer to that, but I do know
that those things that's not a stretch for some people who have found something good
and something awful. Yes, or alternatively, I could have had no effects
one way or the other. But he has found that This revelation and is
coming a few days before his new documentary Carlos, which he discusses that he
learned to look at pretty much anybody who has ever hurt him in his life.
Instead of wanting to send them to hades and holding hate in his heart
for them, he learned to kind of do this practice of looking at that
person like they are a five or six year old child who sometimes children,
I don't want to say that they're being abusive, it's just there. They
don't have the coping mechanisms and tools that some adults have, and to be
honest, a lot of adults don't have that. And so when Carlos Santana
started looking at people as these children, he started to feel more compassionate in
his heart for them. And there's this saying that if when it comes to
forgiveness, that's not for the other person, it's for yourself. And choosing
not to forgive people can be like drinking rat boys and expecting the rat to
die. And so he felt like it just made him a better person to
he himself, not so much about the abuse is a lesson in there,
and a lot of it is spirituality. I see see. I think that's
what affected his music. He is. This music I think that he has
created is quite spiritual, and so that's where I see the connection. So
good. Forgiveness is important and he's got it, and it's hard. So
good. I'm Greg I'm sixty eight years old. I grew up in Cleveland,
Ohio, major in business administration. I do motivational speaking in addition to
substitute teaching. Part of the reasons for my motivational speaking is um I kind
of feel like I have a calling or giving back to the younger generation.
You know, the golden rule is doing to others you'd have them doing to
you. My wife, Janda, is a senior flight attendance, has been
flying for over thirty years. We do laugh quite a bit. I think
most adults will start realizing that they don't recall things as quickly as they used
to, or they don't remember things as vividly as they once did. I've
been taking privilege for about three years now. People saying to met, man,
you got a memory like an alpha. It's really really helped me tremendously,
providing healthier brain, better life. Brig Freely is a paid testimonialist and
real privileging user based on the clinical study of subgroups of individuals who were cognitively
normal or mildly imperative. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat,
cure, or prevent any disease. Yeah, let's cock, let's talk about
what's going on and this big, wide, wonderful world of ours. Sunday
is Father's Day. Happy Father's Day. It's not a hallmark holiday really.
Actually, Father's Day goes back to a medieval times. Catholics dedicated this day
to honoring fathers and fatherhood and paternal relationships. And so we move a little
bit fast forwarded. If that's a good Is that a good phrase e geology?
It plays me? Yeah, okay, here can go fast forward to
what's going on today. It's important for fathers and father figures in society's pretty
much all over the world. It's not the same time. It's not the
same day around the world. In Spain it's in March. In New Zealand
it's in September. But there this is something that's cool. Father's Day,
your Dad. There's a couple of there's some songs that I sort of wanted
James to find. There are seven. I think whether I would rather do
this because Monday, the tone here is going to be different because it's June
nineteen. June nineteenth. Yeah, but and that is going to be a
fairly sober experience because it is a sobering discussion and it's sobering event. But
I think a couple of Father's Day if I may with, uh, well,
maybe we'll mix it, mix it and match it, okay, because
I think it's worth having a little more Father's daytime. And I think that
just something to be to do things differently. I'd like to have people do
things. I like to do things differently. Speaking of that, there's a
Rubik's cube world record that has been set by Max Park. He made history
while attending the Pride in Long Beach events where he solved or Rubik's cube in
three point one three seconds. You know, that whole thing sort of captured
my attention. Ruby and I've never done what I've tried, but I don't
even claim to have the dexterity that it requires to do. Do you think?
People? All right, So here's the test, James. You know
what Ruby's cube is. Of course, I know what a Rubik's cube does.
Come on, now, have you ever tried to put one together?
I've definitely tried. Have I succeeded? I think most people have tried,
and most people have not succeeded. Jay, What about you? I have
once, and it was I memorized. There's there's some formula like you have
to get one of the colors on the bottom left and then you put all
of the there's like this route you go through. Really I memorized it and
I was able to do it once. It still took me a lot longer
than three seconds, and then after I did it once, I completely forgot
about it. I've never been able to do it again. Hmm, all
right, well yeah, but there is a formula. If you want to
impress people with just the fact of being able to do it not timed,
you can find the formula online very easily and impressed people really. So another
thing that's online that ruins it for everybody else. Okay, all right,
so Rubik's is it a Rubik's Cube world? But when you think about playing
with it, I think I fiddled with it on several occasions on an airplane.
I think I spent most of the airplane ride going cross the country trying
to do did you want? To? Never get it done? And you
know, but I bet you if I gave this to my grandson Miles,
I bet he'd figure it out in two not two seconds. But probably he's
very clever. One the the og Rubiks cube is a three by three by
three rotating puzzle, but they have so many more like there's the eight by
eight by eights and even more spear. How the heck did they make him?
How do they put these things together? Would be one of the questions
I'd have for it the different sizes. This fellow has autism, which makes
this even more remarkable when you think about it, or maybe you pay attention
to understandment autism is all about and know that it doesn't it doesn't deter you
from being able to advance your brain in certain respects. So that's what this
thing is all about. Good for him, Yeah, yeah, all right,
let's see what else is going on. The weather around the country.
This weekend is highlighted by what's going on at Yosemite National Park. This is
probably, if not the best known park in America, one of the best
starts, think because the waterfalls and all the other stuff that's there. Yeah.
Hey, it has the tallest waterfall in all of North America. And
because things, we had a lot of snow on the mountains the Rockies this
year. The record snowfall has now met as it's melting a cascade like you
have never seen before. There are videos floating around the roaring water that park
officials say they've never seen the falls just gushing with the water, and so
all the visitors who are going there. California is much better off because it's
getting lots of water. And this is a This is important obviously for them,
but it's sort of stunning to look at it. And so I hope
that you were to do that. I said you in that direction, and
you can help yourself. NASA is at it again, pictures of a stunning
discovery. A moon on Saturn or around Saturn wasn't on the Saturn. Uh,
this moon that's around Saturn. The pictures you're coming back are so detailed
that scientists think that with the discovery of phosphorus on the moon, which is
an essential building block for life. You learn that in chemistry right in high
school, there is um. They think that there are there's a residue of
an ocean that used to be chemicals that are locked inside what is the Saturn
moons are very cold, but imagine that this The Cassini, which is another
one of the probes that they sent out, has been able to detect and
send back these stunning pictures. I've used stunning twice here, but it is
appropriate for this, I think anyway. So there's something else pun not intended.
But these photos are truly out of this world, like they are so
beyond brilliantly beautiful detail. That's what it is all really important detail. All
right, some people in the news the passing of Treat Williams disturbed me this
past week. Do you know who treat Williams was? If I'm betting a
lot, you know who he was, right, one of the countries,
probably paramount character actors. And what happened to him should never happen to anybody.
Here's a guy who has been friends and you look at the tributes that
were paid to him online. Has more and more people learned that he'd been
killed in a motorcycle accident. Here's something that is this guy is dead for
no good reason. The person he lived on a narrow country road. He
had a farm in Vermont, and he was out on his motorcycle at four
o'clock in the afternoon. I can imagine you can see the guy, if
you know who I'm talking about, I could see him on a motorcycle very
easily. So he's running, he's driving around in his neighborhood and some car,
an suv comes around a corner on the wrong side of the road,
going too fast, plows into him. He goes fifteen feet in the air
and lands on the handlebars apparently of his motorcycle. And that collapses, it
goes through one of his lungs and he is you know, he's laying on
the ground. The medics came in. He was he was able to talk
to them, he was alert and awake, and so they put him in
a helicopter and flew him to Albany. By the time he get to Albany,
he was dead. So not only is it a complete waste if somebody
who's a very good, very good looking guy, that's what most people remember
about him, but the fact that he's dead for no good reason other than
people careless. And he was verbal, he was alert, he was good
right, and they apparently lost so much blood internally that that was the end
of it. But it's I find this it was very troubling to learn that.
So a moment for a treat Williams the let's see the next person who's
in the People is today is Martha Serrano. This is the story of a
mother and a daughter who were arrested after using bogus documents to enroll the daughter
in a high school. The daughter was twenty eight and they tried to get
her into school as a seventeen year old. I don't know, I mean,
I guess there are there are adult education. Maybe they didn't know that
most communities have adult education programs for those who didn't get their graduate degree,
right, they don't. It's a geed kind of a thing, and it
makes you wonder what was the motive, what were the motives of these two
two people that they did this kind of weird. It's just weird. So
anyway, here's the next person in the news. Is Cole Bridges, who
goes by a couple of different names, including Cole Gonzalez. Twenty two years
old, played guilty this week to terrorism charges after the FEDS say he tried
to help ISIS terrorists killed troops, our troops overseas. He was arrested after
he communicated online with an FBI agent who was posing as an ISIS supporter.
We haven't heard anything about ISIS for years, right, I haven't. I
not forgot about ISIS, but it hasn't been and yet behind the scenes,
it would appear, if we are to believe of all this information, that
they're still at it trying to figure out how to attack us, and in
the meantime they're attacking our forces that are on station in the Middle East.
So this guy diagram military maneuvers to help isis? Why would an American want
to help isis? I know there are others. Does he have roots in
the Middle East? Does he have family? Is he originally from the Middle
East? That name doesn't feel to me like he Cole Gonzalez. That doesn't
feel like a Middle Eastern name. So what tips somebody to do something like
this? The way that he went about the orchestration of these things that ambushes,
he was trying to plan an ambush on the soldiers. I think he
was in the service too, wasn't he? Yes? He was? He
was, Yeah, I mean ultimate betrayal. Was it financially related? Wasn't
I mean? They could just be so many things. Yep. So it's
great business time for Calidron. I would think the phones would be ringing off

talk. As we say here in New England cat talk. It isn't just
a New England thing. This is for everybody here in our country and all
around the world that listen to this program. Nick Miles is here rather worldly
Chap himself. He's our autoexpert and his website is into its coincidence, I'm
sure our autoexpert duct Nick is in Germany checking out the new uh Bavarian Motor
Works cars. Right the BMW's what else are you check out? You can
talk about it though, right, yeah, yeah, there'll be no information.
Actually, uh, they're They've always done exciting things at motor Rod,
which is what BMW call their motorcycle division. The biggest problem is Germans are
considerably taller than I am, and so getting over getting over one of these
things, it's it's good luck with that. So I have to I have
to pick and choose my models excitingly. And they always show these beautiful motorcycles
off. But then you have to you have to have nice long six foot
four legs together. You know how to drive a motorcycle? You can't reach
the pedals? Yeah, well then yeah. It used to be the same
with cars until people started doing adjustable petals and seeds. But it doesn't stop
me going fast. Oh that's fun. Stillantis, which is Chrysler recalling hundreds
of thousands of Jeeps because the rear coiled springs can come off. What kind
of engineering is that? What's the problem? What are these people losing their
credibility because they aren't as quality control minded as they used to be. It
needs to be maybe an American company needs to buy it back. Well,
I always they always seem to have trouble with their rears. At Stilantis it
was the rear axles and the Dodgers or the Jeeps. They do have a
back end problem, and I will say, at least things aren't catch fire.
But I still want my car fix and I want it done right with
all of yours. Yes, exactly right. I looked at a headline.
I saw a headline in a magazine that I had to bring to your attention.
The headline reads, Biden is coming for our gas cars. People love
their cars, that we all know that, and the rules that are being
set up are so unreasonable. But the way things are going with the bidens,
the corruption charges and getting payoffs and all this other stuff, I don't
know whether I'm beginning to think that because the EPA is the pusher on this,
that there's some that there's corruption in this. Although the car companies don't
like making electric cars, it costs more money, it's tough for to do
right. If they were left to their own, they probably wouldn't. None
of them, well, maybe a couple of them make electric cars, but
not the wholesale change that's going on now that Frankly, I think it's gonna
be hard to sell the America in public as a whole does not only seven
percent. When I saw a survey recently, I think you have one on
your website as well. Seven percent of Americans are embracing electric cars. The
rest of the country says no, thanks, So right, there's pluses and
minuses, right for everything. I mean, electric cars extremely fun to drive,
They're exhilarating, but I don't like paying more for anything. And there's
three hundred and fifty plus million of us in this country, in America,
and we're here for one major reason, and that as we have the choice
free to do what we want to do, and freedom and the choice there.
According to this survey, twelve percent of Americans are considering whether or not
to buy an electric car, and the numbers go up as you look further
into the future. But forty nine percent said under no circumstances would they ever
consider nor would they buy. I thought the number would be higher than that,
frankly of those who are solidly against anything to do with electric cars.
Right, So that you know there's this, you just have to look at
what's the opportunity and the possibility, and people should have choice to do what
they want to do. To have the choice to buy gas, one of
the things on your website is a focus on it's actually a good analysis of
the cost of used cars versus new cars. What I wonder is, I
look at this, what the heck is the a used battery operated car that's
seven years old and the batteries no good? How are you going to get
anything for that when it comes to a trade in or selling it yourself,
They're going to be worthless, right because the batteries will be by the time
you get to that point seven years down the road. What there's no life
left in the battery, and it costs more money to put a new battery
and that it does to buy a new car. To that, that's kind
that's what keeps us in business, right because we can tell people those those
type of things and the information so you don't have to go through a whole
bunch of warranties and check all these cars out. So that keeps me in
business. Yeah, well that in mind, folks, as Nick is saying,
used car use electric cars will be completely worthless seven years in the battery
runs out. See later, alligator all right, good always great to have
you here. Thank you, Nick. Nick Miles our autoexpert dot Com.
