The next Stephen Good Day download with Doug and Jay Kirshner is made possible in
part by Kellatran, which is the safe way for you to lose weight and
keep it off, and also by priviging keeping your brain healthy. Friday,
Friday, Friday, all right, we're going to exercise our minds today or
we're going to be lazy because it's the end of the work week for a
lot of people. Not everybody. A lot of people work over the weekends.
If you're a farmer here or maybe a broadcaster here, we're at it,
and we're at it for the fourteenth of April. We will not get
to celebrate the fifteenth the odds of April. Your tax money doesn't have to
be until Monday because the fifteenth, and in Massachusett have to be until Tuesday
because a Patriots Day. In the running of the marathon, Well brief,
are you going to be a part of it? Yeah? I used to
be, but not anymore. I used to be a lot of things.
And then there's the future. So the future does not look bright for Ford,
at least in my family. I have been a Ford person pretty much
all of my let's see here, when I get off of General Motors products.
Was in the seventies when they screwed around with some stuff that belonged to
me. I had a lot of General Motors vehicles when I was in the
bus business, and that didn't work out, so I went to Ford,
which was traditionally what my father had. All Ford products. But right now
there on the thumbs down list because they have been approached any number of times
and any number of ways to reverse their ban on AM radio and cars,
and they have refused to reverse that position. So screw them. I guess
that won't be too delicate. No more Fords, no more Lincoln's, no
more of that stuff, no more not buying that stuff. No more new
Fords for me and for anybody else that cares about what we how we have
communication, how we stay connected, how we stay together. The arrogance of
that decision is something to ponder, Actually it really is. I mean you
to talk about saying screw you to the people who have the most money,
the people who are over fifty, and the preponderance fifty percent of the people
using AM radio or over fifty years of age, so you're just saying we
don't really need them as customers. Okay, Well, if you don't swell,
we'll go buy somebody else's car and or truck. See you later,
alligator. Okay, so that's my position on that all vehicles are just the
electricals. It's the new gas power too. Huh. Apparently, yes,
wow, apparently that's where the rubber hits the road, if you will.
If I'm wrong on that, somebody will correct me. But I am pretty
sure that's the position that word has taken. All right, here's something now,
we'll turn that that seems kind of a negative into something that's positive.
There is a study out today, Miss J. J. Kirshner Doug Stephen
with the James Collins on the control Wagon down in Dallas. Feeling happy about
getting older can reverse a common type of memory loss. How about them apples
older people with mild cognitive impairment thirty percent more likely to regain normal cognition if
they're upbeat, if they're happy, as opposed to those who are grumpy and
down and out. They don't like getting all the you know what's gonna have
no And I think one of the things that makes me, I mean as
much as as Victoria used to call me Captain kurmudgeon, and my children tease
me about being a confrarian. I look at both side. But you can
tell by listening to me that I'm a happy sort and that I enjoy life
and I'm not concerned. I will tell you though, honestly, when I
was in my thirties, I worried about death all the time. Why who
know, I don't know, but I did. And so now as I
am certainly closer to the end than I was than I am to the beginning,
you know, it's one of the things that you certainly can't do anything
about other than your longevity. You can take care of yourself and make sure
you enjoy the most, get the most out of the years. They are
called the silver years. Some people call them the silver years. And this
studies suggests that if you have a cheerful approach to this time, you'll recover
your cognition. You'll be two or three years younger as far as your brain
is concerned as you get older. So this is a good, yeah,
it is right. Research based on seventeen hundred participants who are in their sixties,
Those who started the study with normal cognition and a happy attitude toward aging
were less likely to develop this problem with the mild cognitive impairment, but in
fact half of those who have it recovered. So whether you know what it
is, you know, I'm a great believer in the spirit, mind body
connection, and I think how you live your life is going to determine how
you look at life. Which comes first though the chick under the egg,
right, How you look at life determines on how life is or is it
the other way around. I don't know. But if you've got a good
attitude towards aging. There's been some other research it's been around for a while
demonstrating that age beliefs are modifiable. If you was at a word, I
think modifiables. That's a good word. I just made it up. Whether
it was or it wasn't, I just it's a new Dugo, a new
Doug word. The individual that holds onto good experiences like last night as on
the Face time with Jazz Colle Jasper's jazz Man. So he's got this new
toy and the actually was Miles toy. They have a lot of stuff handed
down from one to the other. So it's this little box made out of
wood and it has four different things. When you push down on a button,
something pops out, and so he thinks that's fabulous. But he found
out by pounding on it he doesn't have to hit the button, he get
just pound on it up and they all pop up. So he thinks that
is the most fabulous thing. He looks and he's getting more and more wordy
with things, and it's very quickly becoming more and more wordy. What are
your remember about mac when he started to learn how to talk? And who
was who? You know that kind of stuff, because that's what we all
my dad, dad, you know that stuff. Yeah, well, he
started to use some words relatively quickly. I have a video of him when
I say good morning, and it sounds like he says good morning, mama.
Yeah. Well, he's like still in the crypt. But then he
got really set. He experienced a big illness that also hurt his throat,
and he stopped talking for quite some time, and then he never really It
took him a long time to recover. We put him into early intervention with
speech therapy, and now he's back again and it is so wonderful. Good.
That's a good thing. Communication is everything, as you know. That's
another But I'm not going to go back to the let it Go Doug the
Ford thing. Here's the story of a dusty document used on the Moon,
set to go under the auctioneer's hammer. The asking price is half a million
dollars. This is the mission checklist that was worn on the lunar surface by
astronaut Jeans Cernan. Still low covered in moondust. Well that's where it's going
to start. Yeah, right, it just seems like such a low starting
point. Yeah, well, listen to see what it gets. But it's
got quite a story. Imagine owning something that came from the moon. It
has victual moondust dust yep. Right, Okay, let's go to some people
in the news. Billie McFarland has announced the Fire Festival. Fire Festival Chew.
He was in prison. How long was the imprison He was the organizer
of the first where he would like basically spent all the money just advert like
creating an apptisement video. And then people thought they were coming to this amazingly
spectacular and extravagant festival, and they were basically intense, and the luxury food
were like cheese sandwiches, And the problem was nothing was going on and all
of the record, like all of the artists ars was to perform pulled out,
and so these people were then just trapped there in these conditions. Yeah,
and then it's like, let's let's try it again. Who's going to
believe this, Who's going to actually try and want to put money towards this?
See you later, alligator. Listen, there is what is it the
old expression, You're gonna fool some of the people some of the time and
all the know it's the other way around. Some of the people all the
time, all the people some of the time, but not all the people
all of the time. So there are some people that'll bite, I'll bet
you. Next name in the news is lock Pa retas Sherpa. We all
know Lackpa read a Sherpa right there. She's one of three Sherpa climbers disappeared
on Mount Everest this week. Guides swept into a crack in the glacier buried
by an avalanche. Wow, they were trying to locate them, but I'm
not sure that they have have they no, not yet. There they fell
into a whole fifty feet down in a crevice. That's gonna be one of
the most dangerous jobs imagine doing that. They have climbers going up there looking
for them. That's gonna be dangerous for them too. But there was,
wasn't there somebody we were talking about a couple recently they climbed one day.
They want to be the first deaf couplet summit Areast. Yeah, okay,
good luck. Stay away from that cravas if you will. Okay, let's
see next naming the news is Kathleen Corrado Karate sorry crr Adi. She,
ladies and gentlemen, is going to be the first rats are in New York.
She's going to teach the rats to hate her. She's going going the
Eric Car said, Eric Car said, he good. That was Los Angeles.
Eric Adams has hired this lady to work with the city and the private
sector to reduce the rats. Get out rats public enemy number one. Apparently
there's a lot that needs to be done to garbage all over the place.
It's clear somebody needed to focus on it. So now they've hired this lady.
I wonder what her She has a three and a half million dollar budget,
But what's her background? She worked with rats before? Is she a
rat raven? What's her story? She had a press car much. I
just like the actual title director of Rodan Rash Right. Yeah, get those
rats. Well, they certainly are plenty of them. They could use one
in Los Angeles. Most big cities could use one. Let's get them rats.
Britney Spears is in the focus on social media, with a lot of
trending items, including what her trainer has said about her. Boy, this
is something. This guy's got a lot of balsam. I would say that
much. I wouldn't. And then there are the shamers, the body shamers,
who also need to be put in their place. So let's put everybody
in their place. So j yes, Britney Spears. We haven't talked about
her for a couple of months. Actually, there have been some nasty photos
taken of her while she was in Los Angeles, and so she gave it
to him good. Her former fitness trainer had posted that she ought to get
her younger body back, and she basically said, up your pal, go
ahead. Yeah. So the paparazzi they do, and it's not only Britney
Spears. A lot of times they will take unflattering photos, bad angles,
bad lighting, that just it just it's like the Republicans love doing that.
When Clinton was in the office and when Hillary is run, there's these awful
pictures of the two of them that always pop up when something nasty is said
about them on Fox News, you know or whatever. There's always that stuff.
So yeah, it's it's often done, and you can definitely see it
a lot when they're talking about two celebrities who might be feuding, and you
can see which one they prefer, because one celebrity, yeah, will have
a beautifully done photo and the other one just as like horrendous. So she
had been She already kind of posts videos of herself dancing and stuff, and
she's like, I just want to say my body, I'm not perfect,
but it doesn't look like what the shots of the psy. She went and
got a trainer a couple months ago, and apparently the trainer pinched the skin
on her stomach and legs and told her she needed to get her younger body
back, which made her cry. And that had to be especially triggering given
everything she's already gone through. And I remember watching an interview years and years
and years ago when she was still a lot younger, and she was being
asked, how do you stay so fit, and she had made a comment
that her family is involved in her diet and fitness regiment and even her brother
will sometimes pinch her stomach and tell her, like, you need to go
do one hundred more crunches, So that having the trainer do that too had
to have been especially triggering for her, I would think. And then there
are others who are supporting her. Good. Here's Jamie Lee Curtis who chimed
in praising her for bringing awareness to this issue that she's been concerned about a
long time. You get older, your body changes. Mine does, yours
does, everybody's does. And people especially on covers of magazines where they get
their photoshoped. Like there's a Colombian pop star, Carol g who adjust did
the GQ Mexico cover recently and they completely photoshopped her. She posted about it
was like, that's not what my face looks like, that's not what my
body looks like. I'm very comfortable and pleased with how I look naturally.
Why did you do this? And a lot of people are saying that and
coming out about that. Well, they do it because they can. They
get away with it. They don't get called out. They're a holes whatever.
Any description that's appropriate for them that you can come up with in a
random way, that's a good description. So good for Britney Spears, I've
always kind of been a fanner, is actually so good for her. I'm
Greg I'm sixty eight years old. I grew up in Cleveland, Ohio,
major in business administration. I do motivational speaking in addition to substitute teaching.
Part of the reasons for my motivational speaking is I kind of feel like I
have a calling or giving back to the younger generation. You know, the
golden rule is doing to others you'd have them doing to you. My wife,
Wanda, is a senior flight attendance. She's been flying for over thirty
years. We do left out of bed. I think most adults will start
realizing that they don't recall things as quickly as say 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 say to me periodical, Man, you got
a memory like an alphant. It's really really helped me tremendously. Privigen healthier

nine. Dug for your thoughts are our good day discussions. The Good Day
program tis our pleasure to be here and try to bring as much as we
can put a positive spin on some of the garbage that's floating around, like
the rat the rat patrol in the New York That was kind of cute.
Oh, brah Winfrey. That sets the tone for the conversation, at least
for part of this half hour. The more you praise and celebrate your life,
the more there is in life to celebrate, kind of going hand in
hand. But we were talking about that study that we had in the focus
in the last half hour of how you view your aging? What do you
think about getting older? What does it bring you? I find so much
pleasure. Maybe it's in it's whether I was not smart enough to take the
time when I was younger, because they pretty much always lived the way I
do now. At eighty miles an hour, and let's go. And I
think I missed some things with my children. And a matter of fact,
I know I missed some things with my children, and so now is it
makeup time and makeup time? I just think it's the time to acknowledge and
we do my son and my daughter and my grandchildren. What a great time
it is. And the fact that I'm busier now than I've probably ever been
in my life. But I still am smarter than I was. What's the
old expression to get too soon old and too late smart. I'm smart enough
to take the time to be with them and to be a prominent part of
their lives, and it is I think that's part of what also helps me
age well. And so Oprah Winfrey very right. I think the more you
praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate.
It's very cogent stuff. Yeah there is. And it's also one of those
things every birthday you get to celebrate, is it is a blossom? Because
think about how many people no longer get to do that for one reason or
another. Yeah, it's a ramedon you know. Now we've gone by Easter
and to pass over ramedon for Muslims, and interestingly enough, this year,
plastics are pretty much absent from the meals of Muslims and they break their fast
and mosques the after sunset meal that unites Muslims together during this holy month.
It started in I think it was March the twentieth or twenty second to back
in there and then goes until the twentieth of April. Often involves the use
of plastic knives and forks and bottles of water. So Muslims are being encouraged
to be more environmentally conscious. I thought this is pretty interesting. So the
mosques, there's a group of collective group, the Organization of Clean Mosques or
something whatever they call themselves progressively discontinuing the single use plastic products. And as
a matter of fact, the mantra with the Muslims is to prohibit the use
of plastics. I thought that was pretty interesting that they're conscious. Everybody should
be conscious that many it is what your religion is. But the fact that
yeah, right, fuller and better and stronger and more. It just of
this. But they're doing the same thing. The government of France has also
banned single use restaurant tableware plastics in what they call the fast food revolution.
They have said to the fast food providers, you may no longer serve your
food using plastic tableware. Yeah, and Alaska Airlines eliminated plastic water cups and
bottles on board. I thought that was interesting as well. It's a lot
of plastic stuff needs to you know it is. It's I think that's one
of my big things, frankly, eliminating use of plastic. I have these
um what they call is reach over here. What is this thing called?
Um it's a yetti Oh yeah, yeah, getting your big Stanley cups,
all the reusable ones and yeah right, Okay, So those of you who
follow this program and know that at the end of the week and through the
weekend you can hear the talk radio Countdown show, just a teaser for the
things that are on the countdown chart this week. No surprise. Well I
shouldn't probably tell you what or were they there, because then you won't spoiled
it. And as much of a spoiler as I am, I don't want
to spoil my own program. So anyway, the stuff of Twitter, Feinstein,
you know, the shootings and all the Trump I don't think there are
too many surprises in here. Frankly, but we'll go through the countdown.
You'll hear it. I'm many of these same stations over the weekend talk radio
countdown show and the accompanying talk radio review with Jennifer Horn and Jay Kushner and
Doug Stephen. Okay, so those of you in Florida, the big news
this week has been that storm of the century. Actually, it may be
the storm of the millennial. Is that? How you what? A thousand
years is a millennium? Right? Millennium? Yep, uh, yeah,
two thousand years is a millennium. So wow, this is maybe the storm
of two thousand years. Twenty five inches of rain in two days. I
have a friend who's down in Florida for the week with his son, and
he's talking about how South Florida was completely under siege and underwater twenty five margin
in some of the coastal areas, flooding homes like you wouldn't believe. You'd
see the video shut down of major airports, the Fort Lauderneil Airport, it
was done. It was crazy, twenty inches of rain in six hours,
and this was coming at two an extent, they knew this was coming a
week up before. A lot of the meteorologists were since a millennium is one
thousand years, but a lot of them were talking about this. I just
don't think that they believed it would get so what it really was? Yes,
right, Well, most people were smarted to stay off the roads if
you didn't. I have traveled many times on sections of ninety five all the
way down. As a matter of fact, when I was down there last
month, I was on ninety five from South Palm Beach County all the way
up to when I up to Melbourne and then went across the Bee Line to
go to Orlando. But just thinking and seeing those cards getting stuck in the
water, and again lack of common sense. This is forty percent of the
average for the entire year in one day. And so what caused it?
Oh, everybody's yelling it's global warming. See, well it has happened before,
and heavy rain at this time of year and through the summer, you'll
get those after living down there, for working in the Palm Beach for a
couple of years. When you look up in the sky one minute it's clear,
the next minute the clouds have rolled in, and they do so fast,
Especially Broward, Miami Dade County. It's the Palm Beach County, the
areas that just you get. The rain moves in very quickly. A couple
of tornadoes actually I think took place as well down here. Um, so
it's it's clearing up well for them at least. Yeah. Then the system
is moving towards Georgia and expected to be in the Carolinas by this evening.
Yeah, but it'll blow out to see before he little rain here. Over
the weekend up in the northeast, six hundred forty flights were canceled. So
um, yep, there it is. People in Florida, listen, Florida
is an interesting place. I just I find the people that live there and
what goes on is it's an interesting place. All right. We were talking
about a little fatty yesterday and uh, little Fatty. You know who little
Fatty is? Who are Yeah? He's the name I'm calling yeah, little
Fatty. Um. The North Koreans sent out a ballistic missile test solid fuel
rocket. It was described as the most powerful piece in its growing nuclear arsenal.
This little twerp, he'd be it's like he'd be like a it's like
a cockroach. I'm calling him names. Yeah, I think we can call
him names and he'd get stomped on so quickly if he was dumb enough to
start. And even the Chinese are trying to calm him down to a point
or put him in his place, or at least publicly, that's what they're
saying. Who knows whether they're behind the scenes, you know, whether they're
encouraging him just because they want to keep the balance of power not balanced.
That's really you know, the balance of power is out of balance at the
moment. So that's what they fired thirty missiles this year alone, and most
of them aim for the Sea of Japan. So the Japanese cut all worked
up about this yesterday as well. They should Yeah, yeah, people.
Dan Snyder, owner of the Washington Commanders, nearing a deal to sell the
franchise last month. You remember we're talking about this thing. This has been
going on for the past year, whether he should sell or whether he wanted
to show sell. He's very unpopular, and it seems that he's getting his
price because a fellon named Josh Harris is one of the investors offering six oh
we ready for this six billion dollars whoa record price surpasses last year's four and
a half billion Denver Broncos brought that magic. Johnson is in the group.
They are one of the most storied franchises for obvious and maybe something not so
obviously. We go back nineteen thirty two, one three Super Bowls. They
have only made the playoffs twice in the past decade though, So anyway,
he's been accused of being a jerk running a toxic workplace. Yeah, sexual
harassment claims sued fans. He's a jerk. So anyway, that's the latest
story on that. The Royals have been in the news this week, number
of stories Prince George gearing up for his role, not as the king but
as a grandfather. Well, he's he could of I guess the grandsons are
going to ride in the Is that in the carriage? Do you see pictures
of that thing? How they've they've painted it, they've shot it looks like
a brand new carriage, the coronation carriage that hasn't been used since his mother
was crowned, what seventy years ago? Yeah, so they've puffed it all
up. Anyway, there are let's see which which grandchildren Prince George. Prince
George is the one that is going to has like the bigger not title,
but the role in well a second in line to the throne, right.
I think they're they're pages to Charles. That's these young Yes, that's what
is. Yeah, Quinn, Camilla and King Charles are going to get pages
and he is one of them. Yeah, okay, so that's kind of
cute. Yeah, we're talking about the that's the one of the children of
Prince William and Kate Middleton um. And then there's uh, you know they
talk about hair and him going. He's going, but the rest of his
family is not. And so Camilla, I don't know why she why her
grandsons should be a part of it. Frank, well they are now King
Charles grandsons do their marriage. I don't know. You know, me with
I'm not a fan. Yeah, I'm so surprised why you have such a
hard time with her, but not him. He's the one who had the
jerk too. No, I think he's a jerk. Oh, I'm not
supposed to call people names. He's less than a fine fellow. How's that?
So it's great business time for Caldron. I would think the phones would

Friday and our focus on your car, or as they say in my neighborhood,
your cat. We have Nick Miles who's with us. He doesn't talk
like that. He speaks with he speaks with a not a brogue though,
you don't have a brogue, right, just having m jaccon Yeah, well
yeah, he used to. It used to be the Queen's English, but
now it's the King's English. Yes, right, Well it's been bastardized by
you living in the northwest part of America. That's what has happened there.
By the way, what's the price? What are you paying for gas out
there this week? I think we're close to four and a half, So
four dollars and fifty cents? Really, you got a lot of taxes like
California does. You're in Oregon, right, yeah, that's how the government
make all their money in Oregon. They taxes, all right, So let's
the West coast has the most expensive gas? Where is the cheapest? Where
do you find gas prices the lowest? It's interesting because it changes this quite
on a daily basis. Um. I always was in the Midwest, but
it seems like, um, certain states have certain prices and certain states have
other prices. The cheapest gas currently is in Texas, which is It's right
they have all the oil wells there. Yeah, right, but yeah,
I'm not I'm not sure why Mississippisippi, Oklahoma and Missouri, who who are
two, three and four are also extreme. Oklahoma has a lot of oil,
oh yeah, yeah yeah, but then but Mississippi and Missouri. Yeah,
I'd be wondering about that too, thinking about dollar eighty less than the
people in California. Yeah, which is it's a lot? Oh yeah,
yoh yeah, we're the whole I think we. I don't want to beat
the anti electric car thing to death. My son and I were talking about
this last night. Apparently there is a there's a new Toyota that has some
kind of razzle dazzle electric thing. But he he he and his wife,
uh there, he and his mother in law and his wife went shopping for
a car and they found a very uh I don't know that. I'm not
following Mercedes that much anymore, but the mother has a Mercedes and it's one
of those hybrid Mercedes. So they found one that was three years old that
was like in the twenty thousand dollars range. And I don't know, well,
that's because it was fairly low mileage. But is that I thought that
was kind of cheap for that model. Is it just people aren't buying them?
Because of X y Z. Why would ye? So Mercedes sort of
hybrids were a thing that they pushed really hard, and now they've sort of
either divided their thoughts into either electric or gas. They don't sort of do
the hybrids. And they had a few hiccups with the batteries not being that
good in the hybrids, and they weren't making difference. You know, some
hybrids, like the Prius is great, fifty seven fifty eight gallon, but
the somebrids will do one or two miles a gallon better than the just regular
gas version. So it starts to become ridiculous to pay all that extra money
for the battery when it doesn't save you any money. Well, there was
a it was a discussion here the other day about what you do with and
this is the adjunct of my conversation my son about this. Somebody was asked
that drives one of these cars, what happens when the battery runs out in
seven years? And this is a millennial kid about thirty, and he said,
when the battery runs out, you're gonna pay twenty thousand dollars with a
new batteries. Says, no, it's junk the car. I'm thinking to
myself, this is the throwaway generation. How impractical is okay? Well the
batteries no good. I'm not going to spend twenty thou junk the car.
I mean I was gonna say, who thinks that way? A lot of
people think that way. Yeah, I mean, maybe you've answered your question
about why the Mercedes were so cheap. Yeah, maybe I'll have to pass
that along to my son. Yes, all right, here's a big deal.
How much do you We were just talking about the air about license plates
and how we both have so to special we've had experience with special license plates.
So the most expensive license plate ever sold was where and for how much?
It was in Dubai and it was fifty million dollars recently, And that
seems to me being exceedingly difficult. But after just visiting Dubai, I will
tell you that it's all about the least numbers that you have on your license
plate. The wealthier you are, you have less numbers on your license plate.
And this license plate was P seven, So that's that's pretty good.
Fifteen million dollars. And then all the shakes they own all the sort of
one through ten, so you'll never get those friends. The Saudis. Yeah,
right there, our dear dear friends who are responsible to go back to
where we started talking about for the increase in gas prices this week. Right,
yeah, all right, there is the next Stephen Good Day Download with
