1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:04,360 The next Stephen Good Day download with Doug and Jay Kirshner is made possible in 2 00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:08,000 part by Kellatran, which is the safe way for you to lose weight and 3 00:00:08,279 --> 00:00:13,519 keep it off, and also by priviging keeping your brain healthy. Friday, 4 00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:18,000 Friday, Friday, all right, we're going to exercise our minds today or 5 00:00:18,039 --> 00:00:22,000 we're going to be lazy because it's the end of the work week for a 6 00:00:22,039 --> 00:00:25,199 lot of people. Not everybody. A lot of people work over the weekends. 7 00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:31,519 If you're a farmer here or maybe a broadcaster here, we're at it, 8 00:00:31,719 --> 00:00:35,600 and we're at it for the fourteenth of April. We will not get 9 00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:40,640 to celebrate the fifteenth the odds of April. Your tax money doesn't have to 10 00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:44,600 be until Monday because the fifteenth, and in Massachusett have to be until Tuesday 11 00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:50,359 because a Patriots Day. In the running of the marathon, Well brief, 12 00:00:50,399 --> 00:00:53,560 are you going to be a part of it? Yeah? I used to 13 00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,960 be, but not anymore. I used to be a lot of things. 14 00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:03,159 And then there's the future. So the future does not look bright for Ford, 15 00:01:03,719 --> 00:01:08,680 at least in my family. I have been a Ford person pretty much 16 00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:12,519 all of my let's see here, when I get off of General Motors products. 17 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:19,159 Was in the seventies when they screwed around with some stuff that belonged to 18 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,239 me. I had a lot of General Motors vehicles when I was in the 19 00:01:21,239 --> 00:01:25,040 bus business, and that didn't work out, so I went to Ford, 20 00:01:25,519 --> 00:01:30,040 which was traditionally what my father had. All Ford products. But right now 21 00:01:30,719 --> 00:01:37,040 there on the thumbs down list because they have been approached any number of times 22 00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:42,359 and any number of ways to reverse their ban on AM radio and cars, 23 00:01:42,359 --> 00:01:48,959 and they have refused to reverse that position. So screw them. I guess 24 00:01:48,959 --> 00:01:53,920 that won't be too delicate. No more Fords, no more Lincoln's, no 25 00:01:53,959 --> 00:01:57,200 more of that stuff, no more not buying that stuff. No more new 26 00:01:57,719 --> 00:02:05,480 Fords for me and for anybody else that cares about what we how we have 27 00:02:05,519 --> 00:02:09,800 communication, how we stay connected, how we stay together. The arrogance of 28 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:15,759 that decision is something to ponder, Actually it really is. I mean you 29 00:02:15,759 --> 00:02:20,759 to talk about saying screw you to the people who have the most money, 30 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:25,599 the people who are over fifty, and the preponderance fifty percent of the people 31 00:02:25,719 --> 00:02:31,120 using AM radio or over fifty years of age, so you're just saying we 32 00:02:31,159 --> 00:02:35,439 don't really need them as customers. Okay, Well, if you don't swell, 33 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,680 we'll go buy somebody else's car and or truck. See you later, 34 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:46,520 alligator. Okay, so that's my position on that all vehicles are just the 35 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:50,000 electricals. It's the new gas power too. Huh. Apparently, yes, 36 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,680 wow, apparently that's where the rubber hits the road, if you will. 37 00:02:53,759 --> 00:02:57,879 If I'm wrong on that, somebody will correct me. But I am pretty 38 00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:02,039 sure that's the position that word has taken. All right, here's something now, 39 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:07,240 we'll turn that that seems kind of a negative into something that's positive. 40 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:13,120 There is a study out today, Miss J. J. Kirshner Doug Stephen 41 00:03:13,439 --> 00:03:19,840 with the James Collins on the control Wagon down in Dallas. Feeling happy about 42 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:24,479 getting older can reverse a common type of memory loss. How about them apples 43 00:03:25,159 --> 00:03:34,560 older people with mild cognitive impairment thirty percent more likely to regain normal cognition if 44 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:39,080 they're upbeat, if they're happy, as opposed to those who are grumpy and 45 00:03:39,319 --> 00:03:44,159 down and out. They don't like getting all the you know what's gonna have 46 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:50,840 no And I think one of the things that makes me, I mean as 47 00:03:50,919 --> 00:03:54,960 much as as Victoria used to call me Captain kurmudgeon, and my children tease 48 00:03:55,039 --> 00:04:00,520 me about being a confrarian. I look at both side. But you can 49 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:04,560 tell by listening to me that I'm a happy sort and that I enjoy life 50 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:08,680 and I'm not concerned. I will tell you though, honestly, when I 51 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:12,360 was in my thirties, I worried about death all the time. Why who 52 00:04:12,439 --> 00:04:16,120 know, I don't know, but I did. And so now as I 53 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,680 am certainly closer to the end than I was than I am to the beginning, 54 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:25,680 you know, it's one of the things that you certainly can't do anything 55 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:29,920 about other than your longevity. You can take care of yourself and make sure 56 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,199 you enjoy the most, get the most out of the years. They are 57 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:39,600 called the silver years. Some people call them the silver years. And this 58 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:45,839 studies suggests that if you have a cheerful approach to this time, you'll recover 59 00:04:45,959 --> 00:04:50,480 your cognition. You'll be two or three years younger as far as your brain 60 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:58,160 is concerned as you get older. So this is a good, yeah, 61 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:04,000 it is right. Research based on seventeen hundred participants who are in their sixties, 62 00:05:04,759 --> 00:05:11,839 Those who started the study with normal cognition and a happy attitude toward aging 63 00:05:12,319 --> 00:05:18,079 were less likely to develop this problem with the mild cognitive impairment, but in 64 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:25,800 fact half of those who have it recovered. So whether you know what it 65 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,800 is, you know, I'm a great believer in the spirit, mind body 66 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:32,800 connection, and I think how you live your life is going to determine how 67 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:38,160 you look at life. Which comes first though the chick under the egg, 68 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:42,040 right, How you look at life determines on how life is or is it 69 00:05:42,079 --> 00:05:45,439 the other way around. I don't know. But if you've got a good 70 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:50,839 attitude towards aging. There's been some other research it's been around for a while 71 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:57,800 demonstrating that age beliefs are modifiable. If you was at a word, I 72 00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,319 think modifiables. That's a good word. I just made it up. Whether 73 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,639 it was or it wasn't, I just it's a new Dugo, a new 74 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:14,000 Doug word. The individual that holds onto good experiences like last night as on 75 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:20,079 the Face time with Jazz Colle Jasper's jazz Man. So he's got this new 76 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:26,519 toy and the actually was Miles toy. They have a lot of stuff handed 77 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:30,360 down from one to the other. So it's this little box made out of 78 00:06:30,399 --> 00:06:35,160 wood and it has four different things. When you push down on a button, 79 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:41,319 something pops out, and so he thinks that's fabulous. But he found 80 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,680 out by pounding on it he doesn't have to hit the button, he get 81 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:48,839 just pound on it up and they all pop up. So he thinks that 82 00:06:49,399 --> 00:06:55,680 is the most fabulous thing. He looks and he's getting more and more wordy 83 00:06:55,959 --> 00:06:59,800 with things, and it's very quickly becoming more and more wordy. What are 84 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:03,519 your remember about mac when he started to learn how to talk? And who 85 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,600 was who? You know that kind of stuff, because that's what we all 86 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,199 my dad, dad, you know that stuff. Yeah, well, he 87 00:07:10,959 --> 00:07:15,600 started to use some words relatively quickly. I have a video of him when 88 00:07:15,639 --> 00:07:18,399 I say good morning, and it sounds like he says good morning, mama. 89 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,240 Yeah. Well, he's like still in the crypt. But then he 90 00:07:21,399 --> 00:07:26,639 got really set. He experienced a big illness that also hurt his throat, 91 00:07:26,639 --> 00:07:30,439 and he stopped talking for quite some time, and then he never really It 92 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,279 took him a long time to recover. We put him into early intervention with 93 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:40,399 speech therapy, and now he's back again and it is so wonderful. Good. 94 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:45,920 That's a good thing. Communication is everything, as you know. That's 95 00:07:45,959 --> 00:07:50,040 another But I'm not going to go back to the let it Go Doug the 96 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:58,800 Ford thing. Here's the story of a dusty document used on the Moon, 97 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:05,560 set to go under the auctioneer's hammer. The asking price is half a million 98 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:15,160 dollars. This is the mission checklist that was worn on the lunar surface by 99 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:20,240 astronaut Jeans Cernan. Still low covered in moondust. Well that's where it's going 100 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:24,920 to start. Yeah, right, it just seems like such a low starting 101 00:08:24,959 --> 00:08:28,920 point. Yeah, well, listen to see what it gets. But it's 102 00:08:28,959 --> 00:08:33,440 got quite a story. Imagine owning something that came from the moon. It 103 00:08:33,519 --> 00:08:41,840 has victual moondust dust yep. Right, Okay, let's go to some people 104 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:48,399 in the news. Billie McFarland has announced the Fire Festival. Fire Festival Chew. 105 00:08:50,039 --> 00:08:52,399 He was in prison. How long was the imprison He was the organizer 106 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:58,279 of the first where he would like basically spent all the money just advert like 107 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:03,519 creating an apptisement video. And then people thought they were coming to this amazingly 108 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:09,879 spectacular and extravagant festival, and they were basically intense, and the luxury food 109 00:09:11,279 --> 00:09:16,360 were like cheese sandwiches, And the problem was nothing was going on and all 110 00:09:16,399 --> 00:09:20,240 of the record, like all of the artists ars was to perform pulled out, 111 00:09:20,279 --> 00:09:22,919 and so these people were then just trapped there in these conditions. Yeah, 112 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:26,200 and then it's like, let's let's try it again. Who's going to 113 00:09:26,279 --> 00:09:31,200 believe this, Who's going to actually try and want to put money towards this? 114 00:09:31,279 --> 00:09:35,720 See you later, alligator. Listen, there is what is it the 115 00:09:35,759 --> 00:09:39,080 old expression, You're gonna fool some of the people some of the time and 116 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,720 all the know it's the other way around. Some of the people all the 117 00:09:41,759 --> 00:09:45,240 time, all the people some of the time, but not all the people 118 00:09:45,279 --> 00:09:48,080 all of the time. So there are some people that'll bite, I'll bet 119 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:54,840 you. Next name in the news is lock Pa retas Sherpa. We all 120 00:09:54,879 --> 00:10:03,320 know Lackpa read a Sherpa right there. She's one of three Sherpa climbers disappeared 121 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:11,320 on Mount Everest this week. Guides swept into a crack in the glacier buried 122 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:16,320 by an avalanche. Wow, they were trying to locate them, but I'm 123 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:22,039 not sure that they have have they no, not yet. There they fell 124 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:26,679 into a whole fifty feet down in a crevice. That's gonna be one of 125 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:31,279 the most dangerous jobs imagine doing that. They have climbers going up there looking 126 00:10:31,279 --> 00:10:35,799 for them. That's gonna be dangerous for them too. But there was, 127 00:10:35,799 --> 00:10:39,799 wasn't there somebody we were talking about a couple recently they climbed one day. 128 00:10:41,639 --> 00:10:46,840 They want to be the first deaf couplet summit Areast. Yeah, okay, 129 00:10:46,879 --> 00:10:52,279 good luck. Stay away from that cravas if you will. Okay, let's 130 00:10:52,320 --> 00:11:00,120 see next naming the news is Kathleen Corrado Karate sorry crr Adi. She, 131 00:11:00,399 --> 00:11:05,519 ladies and gentlemen, is going to be the first rats are in New York. 132 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:11,960 She's going to teach the rats to hate her. She's going going the 133 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:15,679 Eric Car said, Eric Car said, he good. That was Los Angeles. 134 00:11:16,399 --> 00:11:22,320 Eric Adams has hired this lady to work with the city and the private 135 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:30,320 sector to reduce the rats. Get out rats public enemy number one. Apparently 136 00:11:31,399 --> 00:11:33,519 there's a lot that needs to be done to garbage all over the place. 137 00:11:35,279 --> 00:11:39,279 It's clear somebody needed to focus on it. So now they've hired this lady. 138 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:45,200 I wonder what her She has a three and a half million dollar budget, 139 00:11:46,159 --> 00:11:50,559 But what's her background? She worked with rats before? Is she a 140 00:11:50,639 --> 00:11:56,120 rat raven? What's her story? She had a press car much. I 141 00:11:56,159 --> 00:12:01,600 just like the actual title director of Rodan Rash Right. Yeah, get those 142 00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:05,000 rats. Well, they certainly are plenty of them. They could use one 143 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:09,600 in Los Angeles. Most big cities could use one. Let's get them rats. 144 00:12:13,639 --> 00:12:18,240 Britney Spears is in the focus on social media, with a lot of 145 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:24,360 trending items, including what her trainer has said about her. Boy, this 146 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:26,320 is something. This guy's got a lot of balsam. I would say that 147 00:12:26,399 --> 00:12:31,799 much. I wouldn't. And then there are the shamers, the body shamers, 148 00:12:31,799 --> 00:12:35,639 who also need to be put in their place. So let's put everybody 149 00:12:35,039 --> 00:12:41,159 in their place. So j yes, Britney Spears. We haven't talked about 150 00:12:41,159 --> 00:12:45,440 her for a couple of months. Actually, there have been some nasty photos 151 00:12:46,039 --> 00:12:50,679 taken of her while she was in Los Angeles, and so she gave it 152 00:12:50,759 --> 00:12:56,399 to him good. Her former fitness trainer had posted that she ought to get 153 00:12:56,440 --> 00:13:00,720 her younger body back, and she basically said, up your pal, go 154 00:13:00,759 --> 00:13:03,600 ahead. Yeah. So the paparazzi they do, and it's not only Britney 155 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:07,600 Spears. A lot of times they will take unflattering photos, bad angles, 156 00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:15,720 bad lighting, that just it just it's like the Republicans love doing that. 157 00:13:15,759 --> 00:13:20,080 When Clinton was in the office and when Hillary is run, there's these awful 158 00:13:20,159 --> 00:13:24,720 pictures of the two of them that always pop up when something nasty is said 159 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:28,639 about them on Fox News, you know or whatever. There's always that stuff. 160 00:13:28,639 --> 00:13:33,519 So yeah, it's it's often done, and you can definitely see it 161 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:35,919 a lot when they're talking about two celebrities who might be feuding, and you 162 00:13:35,919 --> 00:13:39,200 can see which one they prefer, because one celebrity, yeah, will have 163 00:13:39,279 --> 00:13:45,039 a beautifully done photo and the other one just as like horrendous. So she 164 00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:48,279 had been She already kind of posts videos of herself dancing and stuff, and 165 00:13:48,279 --> 00:13:52,039 she's like, I just want to say my body, I'm not perfect, 166 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:58,360 but it doesn't look like what the shots of the psy. She went and 167 00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,399 got a trainer a couple months ago, and apparently the trainer pinched the skin 168 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:05,159 on her stomach and legs and told her she needed to get her younger body 169 00:14:05,159 --> 00:14:07,240 back, which made her cry. And that had to be especially triggering given 170 00:14:07,279 --> 00:14:13,320 everything she's already gone through. And I remember watching an interview years and years 171 00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:16,759 and years ago when she was still a lot younger, and she was being 172 00:14:16,759 --> 00:14:20,360 asked, how do you stay so fit, and she had made a comment 173 00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:24,639 that her family is involved in her diet and fitness regiment and even her brother 174 00:14:24,679 --> 00:14:28,120 will sometimes pinch her stomach and tell her, like, you need to go 175 00:14:28,159 --> 00:14:31,559 do one hundred more crunches, So that having the trainer do that too had 176 00:14:31,559 --> 00:14:37,559 to have been especially triggering for her, I would think. And then there 177 00:14:37,559 --> 00:14:41,679 are others who are supporting her. Good. Here's Jamie Lee Curtis who chimed 178 00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:48,240 in praising her for bringing awareness to this issue that she's been concerned about a 179 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:50,519 long time. You get older, your body changes. Mine does, yours 180 00:14:50,519 --> 00:14:56,519 does, everybody's does. And people especially on covers of magazines where they get 181 00:14:56,559 --> 00:15:00,879 their photoshoped. Like there's a Colombian pop star, Carol g who adjust did 182 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:05,960 the GQ Mexico cover recently and they completely photoshopped her. She posted about it 183 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,879 was like, that's not what my face looks like, that's not what my 184 00:15:07,919 --> 00:15:11,120 body looks like. I'm very comfortable and pleased with how I look naturally. 185 00:15:11,559 --> 00:15:13,639 Why did you do this? And a lot of people are saying that and 186 00:15:13,679 --> 00:15:18,200 coming out about that. Well, they do it because they can. They 187 00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:22,080 get away with it. They don't get called out. They're a holes whatever. 188 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:26,240 Any description that's appropriate for them that you can come up with in a 189 00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:31,200 random way, that's a good description. So good for Britney Spears, I've 190 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:35,000 always kind of been a fanner, is actually so good for her. I'm 191 00:15:35,039 --> 00:15:39,039 Greg I'm sixty eight years old. I grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, 192 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:43,799 major in business administration. I do motivational speaking in addition to substitute teaching. 193 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:46,600 Part of the reasons for my motivational speaking is I kind of feel like I 194 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:50,799 have a calling or giving back to the younger generation. You know, the 195 00:15:50,879 --> 00:15:54,279 golden rule is doing to others you'd have them doing to you. My wife, 196 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:56,919 Wanda, is a senior flight attendance. She's been flying for over thirty 197 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:02,600 years. We do left out of bed. I think most adults will start 198 00:16:02,759 --> 00:16:04,679 realizing that they don't recall things as quickly as say used to, or they 199 00:16:04,679 --> 00:16:11,320 don't remember things as vividly as they once did. I've been taking privilege for 200 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:14,759 about three years now. People say to me periodical, Man, you got 201 00:16:14,759 --> 00:16:21,720 a memory like an alphant. It's really really helped me tremendously. Privigen healthier 202 00:16:21,759 --> 00:16:26,480 brain, better life. Grig Freely is a paid testimonialist and real priviging user 203 00:16:26,639 --> 00:16:30,480 based on the clinical study of subgroups of individuals who were cognitively normal or mildly 204 00:16:30,519 --> 00:16:33,440 impaired. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or 205 00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:37,039 prevent any disease. I don't forget that number eight five, five, nine 206 00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:41,080 nine. Dug for your thoughts are our good day discussions. The Good Day 207 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:47,519 program tis our pleasure to be here and try to bring as much as we 208 00:16:47,519 --> 00:16:52,320 can put a positive spin on some of the garbage that's floating around, like 209 00:16:52,639 --> 00:16:57,159 the rat the rat patrol in the New York That was kind of cute. 210 00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:03,279 Oh, brah Winfrey. That sets the tone for the conversation, at least 211 00:17:03,279 --> 00:17:07,799 for part of this half hour. The more you praise and celebrate your life, 212 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:14,119 the more there is in life to celebrate, kind of going hand in 213 00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:18,640 hand. But we were talking about that study that we had in the focus 214 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:22,480 in the last half hour of how you view your aging? What do you 215 00:17:22,559 --> 00:17:26,680 think about getting older? What does it bring you? I find so much 216 00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:32,480 pleasure. Maybe it's in it's whether I was not smart enough to take the 217 00:17:32,519 --> 00:17:36,039 time when I was younger, because they pretty much always lived the way I 218 00:17:36,079 --> 00:17:41,240 do now. At eighty miles an hour, and let's go. And I 219 00:17:41,279 --> 00:17:45,279 think I missed some things with my children. And a matter of fact, 220 00:17:45,319 --> 00:17:48,160 I know I missed some things with my children, and so now is it 221 00:17:48,319 --> 00:17:53,680 makeup time and makeup time? I just think it's the time to acknowledge and 222 00:17:53,839 --> 00:18:00,440 we do my son and my daughter and my grandchildren. What a great time 223 00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:04,160 it is. And the fact that I'm busier now than I've probably ever been 224 00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:07,119 in my life. But I still am smarter than I was. What's the 225 00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:11,839 old expression to get too soon old and too late smart. I'm smart enough 226 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:15,200 to take the time to be with them and to be a prominent part of 227 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:21,119 their lives, and it is I think that's part of what also helps me 228 00:18:21,319 --> 00:18:26,400 age well. And so Oprah Winfrey very right. I think the more you 229 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:30,000 praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate. 230 00:18:30,079 --> 00:18:36,160 It's very cogent stuff. Yeah there is. And it's also one of those 231 00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:40,000 things every birthday you get to celebrate, is it is a blossom? Because 232 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,319 think about how many people no longer get to do that for one reason or 233 00:18:42,319 --> 00:18:47,480 another. Yeah, it's a ramedon you know. Now we've gone by Easter 234 00:18:47,599 --> 00:18:52,279 and to pass over ramedon for Muslims, and interestingly enough, this year, 235 00:18:53,200 --> 00:19:00,440 plastics are pretty much absent from the meals of Muslims and they break their fast 236 00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:10,279 and mosques the after sunset meal that unites Muslims together during this holy month. 237 00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:14,559 It started in I think it was March the twentieth or twenty second to back 238 00:19:14,599 --> 00:19:19,559 in there and then goes until the twentieth of April. Often involves the use 239 00:19:19,599 --> 00:19:26,599 of plastic knives and forks and bottles of water. So Muslims are being encouraged 240 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:30,960 to be more environmentally conscious. I thought this is pretty interesting. So the 241 00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:37,000 mosques, there's a group of collective group, the Organization of Clean Mosques or 242 00:19:37,039 --> 00:19:45,400 something whatever they call themselves progressively discontinuing the single use plastic products. And as 243 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:48,920 a matter of fact, the mantra with the Muslims is to prohibit the use 244 00:19:49,279 --> 00:19:55,440 of plastics. I thought that was pretty interesting that they're conscious. Everybody should 245 00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:57,839 be conscious that many it is what your religion is. But the fact that 246 00:20:00,039 --> 00:20:04,680 yeah, right, fuller and better and stronger and more. It just of 247 00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:10,960 this. But they're doing the same thing. The government of France has also 248 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:22,119 banned single use restaurant tableware plastics in what they call the fast food revolution. 249 00:20:22,599 --> 00:20:26,160 They have said to the fast food providers, you may no longer serve your 250 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:37,160 food using plastic tableware. Yeah, and Alaska Airlines eliminated plastic water cups and 251 00:20:37,279 --> 00:20:41,640 bottles on board. I thought that was interesting as well. It's a lot 252 00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:45,640 of plastic stuff needs to you know it is. It's I think that's one 253 00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:49,400 of my big things, frankly, eliminating use of plastic. I have these 254 00:20:49,559 --> 00:20:53,960 um what they call is reach over here. What is this thing called? 255 00:20:55,599 --> 00:21:00,680 Um it's a yetti Oh yeah, yeah, getting your big Stanley cups, 256 00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:07,519 all the reusable ones and yeah right, Okay, So those of you who 257 00:21:07,599 --> 00:21:11,680 follow this program and know that at the end of the week and through the 258 00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:15,400 weekend you can hear the talk radio Countdown show, just a teaser for the 259 00:21:15,519 --> 00:21:21,720 things that are on the countdown chart this week. No surprise. Well I 260 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:26,319 shouldn't probably tell you what or were they there, because then you won't spoiled 261 00:21:26,319 --> 00:21:29,799 it. And as much of a spoiler as I am, I don't want 262 00:21:29,799 --> 00:21:33,440 to spoil my own program. So anyway, the stuff of Twitter, Feinstein, 263 00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:38,440 you know, the shootings and all the Trump I don't think there are 264 00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:41,920 too many surprises in here. Frankly, but we'll go through the countdown. 265 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:45,279 You'll hear it. I'm many of these same stations over the weekend talk radio 266 00:21:45,319 --> 00:21:52,400 countdown show and the accompanying talk radio review with Jennifer Horn and Jay Kushner and 267 00:21:52,559 --> 00:21:56,839 Doug Stephen. Okay, so those of you in Florida, the big news 268 00:21:56,920 --> 00:22:02,200 this week has been that storm of the century. Actually, it may be 269 00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:06,400 the storm of the millennial. Is that? How you what? A thousand 270 00:22:06,519 --> 00:22:11,319 years is a millennium? Right? Millennium? Yep, uh, yeah, 271 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:15,279 two thousand years is a millennium. So wow, this is maybe the storm 272 00:22:15,279 --> 00:22:21,519 of two thousand years. Twenty five inches of rain in two days. I 273 00:22:21,559 --> 00:22:25,359 have a friend who's down in Florida for the week with his son, and 274 00:22:25,519 --> 00:22:33,200 he's talking about how South Florida was completely under siege and underwater twenty five margin 275 00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:37,039 in some of the coastal areas, flooding homes like you wouldn't believe. You'd 276 00:22:37,039 --> 00:22:44,000 see the video shut down of major airports, the Fort Lauderneil Airport, it 277 00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:48,640 was done. It was crazy, twenty inches of rain in six hours, 278 00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:52,279 and this was coming at two an extent, they knew this was coming a 279 00:22:52,519 --> 00:22:56,279 week up before. A lot of the meteorologists were since a millennium is one 280 00:22:56,319 --> 00:23:00,240 thousand years, but a lot of them were talking about this. I just 281 00:23:00,279 --> 00:23:04,079 don't think that they believed it would get so what it really was? Yes, 282 00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:08,480 right, Well, most people were smarted to stay off the roads if 283 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:15,799 you didn't. I have traveled many times on sections of ninety five all the 284 00:23:15,839 --> 00:23:17,880 way down. As a matter of fact, when I was down there last 285 00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:22,880 month, I was on ninety five from South Palm Beach County all the way 286 00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:29,519 up to when I up to Melbourne and then went across the Bee Line to 287 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:33,279 go to Orlando. But just thinking and seeing those cards getting stuck in the 288 00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:40,720 water, and again lack of common sense. This is forty percent of the 289 00:23:40,759 --> 00:23:45,960 average for the entire year in one day. And so what caused it? 290 00:23:47,079 --> 00:23:52,359 Oh, everybody's yelling it's global warming. See, well it has happened before, 291 00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:57,319 and heavy rain at this time of year and through the summer, you'll 292 00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:03,200 get those after living down there, for working in the Palm Beach for a 293 00:24:03,279 --> 00:24:08,400 couple of years. When you look up in the sky one minute it's clear, 294 00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:11,279 the next minute the clouds have rolled in, and they do so fast, 295 00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:17,839 Especially Broward, Miami Dade County. It's the Palm Beach County, the 296 00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:22,599 areas that just you get. The rain moves in very quickly. A couple 297 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:29,359 of tornadoes actually I think took place as well down here. Um, so 298 00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:33,599 it's it's clearing up well for them at least. Yeah. Then the system 299 00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:40,359 is moving towards Georgia and expected to be in the Carolinas by this evening. 300 00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:44,920 Yeah, but it'll blow out to see before he little rain here. Over 301 00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:49,279 the weekend up in the northeast, six hundred forty flights were canceled. So 302 00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:57,880 um, yep, there it is. People in Florida, listen, Florida 303 00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:03,039 is an interesting place. I just I find the people that live there and 304 00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:06,920 what goes on is it's an interesting place. All right. We were talking 305 00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:12,000 about a little fatty yesterday and uh, little Fatty. You know who little 306 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:18,440 Fatty is? Who are Yeah? He's the name I'm calling yeah, little 307 00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:26,920 Fatty. Um. The North Koreans sent out a ballistic missile test solid fuel 308 00:25:27,039 --> 00:25:34,240 rocket. It was described as the most powerful piece in its growing nuclear arsenal. 309 00:25:34,759 --> 00:25:38,200 This little twerp, he'd be it's like he'd be like a it's like 310 00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:42,000 a cockroach. I'm calling him names. Yeah, I think we can call 311 00:25:42,079 --> 00:25:48,440 him names and he'd get stomped on so quickly if he was dumb enough to 312 00:25:48,559 --> 00:25:52,440 start. And even the Chinese are trying to calm him down to a point 313 00:25:52,519 --> 00:25:55,200 or put him in his place, or at least publicly, that's what they're 314 00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:59,000 saying. Who knows whether they're behind the scenes, you know, whether they're 315 00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:03,519 encouraging him just because they want to keep the balance of power not balanced. 316 00:26:03,799 --> 00:26:07,000 That's really you know, the balance of power is out of balance at the 317 00:26:07,079 --> 00:26:15,720 moment. So that's what they fired thirty missiles this year alone, and most 318 00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:19,279 of them aim for the Sea of Japan. So the Japanese cut all worked 319 00:26:19,319 --> 00:26:26,880 up about this yesterday as well. They should Yeah, yeah, people. 320 00:26:26,559 --> 00:26:33,359 Dan Snyder, owner of the Washington Commanders, nearing a deal to sell the 321 00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:37,400 franchise last month. You remember we're talking about this thing. This has been 322 00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:41,519 going on for the past year, whether he should sell or whether he wanted 323 00:26:41,559 --> 00:26:47,440 to show sell. He's very unpopular, and it seems that he's getting his 324 00:26:47,559 --> 00:26:56,039 price because a fellon named Josh Harris is one of the investors offering six oh 325 00:26:56,359 --> 00:27:08,000 we ready for this six billion dollars whoa record price surpasses last year's four and 326 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:15,200 a half billion Denver Broncos brought that magic. Johnson is in the group. 327 00:27:15,519 --> 00:27:22,359 They are one of the most storied franchises for obvious and maybe something not so 328 00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:26,880 obviously. We go back nineteen thirty two, one three Super Bowls. They 329 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:33,359 have only made the playoffs twice in the past decade though, So anyway, 330 00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:38,119 he's been accused of being a jerk running a toxic workplace.

How they've they've painted it, they've shot it looks like 337 00:28:10,319 --> 00:28:15,160 a brand new carriage, the coronation carriage that hasn't been used since his mother 338 00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:19,319 was crowned, what seventy years ago? Yeah, so they've puffed it all 339 00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:27,079 up. Anyway, there are let's see which which grandchildren Prince George. Prince 340 00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:32,279 George is the one that is going to has like the bigger not title, 341 00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:36,000 but the role in well a second in line to the throne, right. 342 00:28:37,079 --> 00:28:41,240 I think they're they're pages to Charles. That's these young Yes, that's what 343 00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:45,799 is. Yeah, Quinn, Camilla and King Charles are going to get pages 344 00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:48,440 and he is one of them. Yeah, okay, so that's kind of 345 00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:53,400 cute. Yeah, we're talking about the that's the one of the children of 346 00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:57,920 Prince William and Kate Middleton um. And then there's uh, you know they 347 00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:02,319 talk about hair and him going. He's going, but the rest of his 348 00:29:02,359 --> 00:29:07,160 family is not. And so Camilla, I don't know why she why her 349 00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:10,880 grandsons should be a part of it. Frank, well they are now King 350 00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:15,920 Charles grandsons do their marriage. I don't know. You know, me with 351 00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:18,640 I'm not a fan.

We have Nick Miles who's with us. He doesn't talk 371 00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:41,160 like that. He speaks with he speaks with a not a brogue though, 372 00:30:41,279 --> 00:30:44,559 you don't have a brogue, right, just having m jaccon Yeah, well 373 00:30:44,759 --> 00:30:47,039 yeah, he used to. It used to be the Queen's English, but 374 00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:51,240 now it's the King's English. Yes, right, Well it's been bastardized by 375 00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:53,839 you living in the northwest part of America. That's what has happened there. 376 00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:57,160 By the way, what's the price? What are you paying for gas out 377 00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:03,920 there this week? I think we're close to four and a half, So 378 00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:07,680 four dollars and fifty cents? Really, you got a lot of taxes like 379 00:31:07,759 --> 00:31:11,119 California does. You're in Oregon, right, yeah, that's how the government 380 00:31:11,119 --> 00:31:15,359 make all their money in Oregon. They taxes, all right, So let's 381 00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:18,480 the West coast has the most expensive gas? Where is the cheapest? Where 382 00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:22,880 do you find gas prices the lowest? It's interesting because it changes this quite 383 00:31:23,519 --> 00:31:29,599 on a daily basis. Um. I always was in the Midwest, but 384 00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:36,160 it seems like, um, certain states have certain prices and certain states have 385 00:31:36,599 --> 00:31:41,680 other prices. The cheapest gas currently is in Texas, which is It's right 386 00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:45,079 they have all the oil wells there. Yeah, right, but yeah, 387 00:31:45,119 --> 00:31:48,759 I'm not I'm not sure why Mississippisippi, Oklahoma and Missouri, who who are 388 00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:53,920 two, three and four are also extreme. Oklahoma has a lot of oil, 389 00:31:55,559 --> 00:31:59,160 oh yeah, yeah yeah, but then but Mississippi and Missouri. Yeah, 390 00:31:59,319 --> 00:32:04,039 I'd be wondering about that too, thinking about dollar eighty less than the 391 00:32:04,079 --> 00:32:07,880 people in California. Yeah, which is it's a lot? Oh yeah, 392 00:32:08,039 --> 00:32:13,119 yoh yeah, we're the whole I think we. I don't want to beat 393 00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:17,559 the anti electric car thing to death. My son and I were talking about 394 00:32:17,559 --> 00:32:23,759 this last night. Apparently there is a there's a new Toyota that has some 395 00:32:23,839 --> 00:32:30,920 kind of razzle dazzle electric thing. But he he he and his wife, 396 00:32:30,599 --> 00:32:35,480 uh there, he and his mother in law and his wife went shopping for 397 00:32:35,519 --> 00:32:40,480 a car and they found a very uh I don't know that. I'm not 398 00:32:40,519 --> 00:32:45,319 following Mercedes that much anymore, but the mother has a Mercedes and it's one 399 00:32:45,319 --> 00:32:52,160 of those hybrid Mercedes. So they found one that was three years old that 400 00:32:52,319 --> 00:32:54,799 was like in the twenty thousand dollars range. And I don't know, well, 401 00:32:54,799 --> 00:32:59,160 that's because it was fairly low mileage. But is that I thought that 402 00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:01,960 was kind of cheap for that model. Is it just people aren't buying them? 403 00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:07,599 Because of X y Z. Why would ye? So Mercedes sort of 404 00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:12,839 hybrids were a thing that they pushed really hard, and now they've sort of 405 00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:16,599 either divided their thoughts into either electric or gas. They don't sort of do 406 00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:21,480 the hybrids. And they had a few hiccups with the batteries not being that 407 00:33:21,599 --> 00:33:24,359 good in the hybrids, and they weren't making difference. You know, some 408 00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:29,880 hybrids, like the Prius is great, fifty seven fifty eight gallon, but 409 00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:32,799 the somebrids will do one or two miles a gallon better than the just regular 410 00:33:32,839 --> 00:33:37,680 gas version. So it starts to become ridiculous to pay all that extra money 411 00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:40,839 for the battery when it doesn't save you any money. Well, there was 412 00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:49,920 a it was a discussion here the other day about what you do with and 413 00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:54,880 this is the adjunct of my conversation my son about this. Somebody was asked 414 00:33:55,559 --> 00:34:00,759 that drives one of these cars, what happens when the battery runs out in 415 00:34:00,839 --> 00:34:05,759 seven years? And this is a millennial kid about thirty, and he said, 416 00:34:06,039 --> 00:34:07,880 when the battery runs out, you're gonna pay twenty thousand dollars with a 417 00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:10,599 new batteries. Says, no, it's junk the car. I'm thinking to 418 00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:16,079 myself, this is the throwaway generation. How impractical is okay? Well the 419 00:34:16,079 --> 00:34:20,159 batteries no good. I'm not going to spend twenty thou junk the car. 420 00:34:21,519 --> 00:34:22,320 I mean I was gonna say, who thinks that way? A lot of 421 00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:27,119 people think that way. Yeah, I mean, maybe you've answered your question 422 00:34:27,119 --> 00:34:30,360 about why the Mercedes were so cheap. Yeah, maybe I'll have to pass 423 00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:35,159 that along to my son. Yes, all right, here's a big deal. 424 00:34:35,519 --> 00:34:37,440 How much do you We were just talking about the air about license plates 425 00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:43,360 and how we both have so to special we've had experience with special license plates. 426 00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:49,800 So the most expensive license plate ever sold was where and for how much? 427 00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:55,679 It was in Dubai and it was fifty million dollars recently, And that 428 00:34:55,840 --> 00:35:01,039 seems to me being exceedingly difficult. But after just visiting Dubai, I will 429 00:35:01,039 --> 00:35:06,840 tell you that it's all about the least numbers that you have on your license 430 00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:09,440 plate. The wealthier you are, you have less numbers on your license plate. 431 00:35:09,519 --> 00:35:14,519 And this license plate was P seven, So that's that's pretty good. 432 00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:17,800 Fifteen million dollars. And then all the shakes they own all the sort of 433 00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:24,840 one through ten, so you'll never get those friends. The Saudis. Yeah, 434 00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:30,519 right there, our dear dear friends who are responsible to go back to 435 00:35:30,519 --> 00:35:35,760 where we started talking about for the increase in gas prices this week. Right, 436 00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:39,840 yeah, all right, there is the next Stephen Good Day Download with 437 00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:44,800 Doug and Jay Kirshner is made possible in part by KELTRN, which is the 438 00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:47,679 safe way for you to lose weight and keep it off, and also by 439 00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:50,760 priviging keeping your brain healthy.
