your X down wherever you can. Speaking of x's, I guess can we
say that with our unified social media handle, Jay, we can use at
good Day Networks on X everything Yes, okay, no longer. Just put
all the other stuff that we've been using for years out of your mind,
out of your life, out of your focus, all social media handles at
good Day Networks. So you're going to use the usual Facebook, maybe Instagram
at good Day Networks. That's the way it works as of right this minute,
right this moment. So you can write wri t E for the right
moment, right right writing right now, I think I left the intern.
Okay, So, but in the world, here's Janet Yell. And remember
she went to China last month, and apparently she had a mind blowing experience
during her trip to China. The United States Treasury Secretary says that she dined
at a restaurant in Beijing with some of the people that she was over there
to visit, and she was served a dish that featured mushrooms known for the
psychedelic psycho effect. So she says, quote, I went with this large
group of people. The person who had arranged our dinner did all the ordering,
and so it was this delicious mushroom. So basically she had she consumed
magic mushrooms without her knowledge. That's a magic mushroom time in China for the
Secretary Treasury. I don't know that it helped her out very much. She
thought it was fun. I don't know. I've never had any psychedelic mushrooms
of you, no experience all about what do you do? And I know
the only psychedelic experience I ever had was and I was in Peru a couple
of years ago, and I had that stuff what do they call it?
The green stuff? It's we I remember. I'd know what if I hear
it, because we've talked about it. Before. But it isn't when you
do some kind of psychedelic, isn't it. You're supposed to be with people
you absolutely trust. Because she can go bad real quick. Oh yeah it
did for me. It went really bad, really quickly. So she said
she had an extremely magical day. She loved the mushrooms anyway, magic that
sounds. Was there a movie in a movie called Magic Mike. Maybe we
can have Magic Mike and his mushrooms? That would be that was wasn't he
sema hiak the last one? Yes? Yeah, what was that Magic Mike
double excel or something like that? Yeah? Right, it was cute.
So maybe that's the way we move forward. Now, all the people that
are important in our government, what we do is we feed them magic mushrooms.
Can you imagine Joe Biden on magic mushrooms? Also? Can you imagine
if if, like somebody in the US did thatt a delegate who was visiting
from another country without their knowledge. Yeah? Yeah, Donald Trump on magic
mushrooms. Now there's a visualization, right, that's get them all And oh
wait a minute, this would be even better. How about we put Zuckerberg
and Musk on magic mushrooms and then put them in the cage. They probably
end up dancing with each other and a magic moment, magic moments rooms.
Yeah yeah, So as long as we're talking about China and Janet yelling going
she went over to try him as I understand anyway, Uh, straighten out
some of the problems that we're having in exchange, that is, the exchange
of currency. The Chinese are trying to make the yen or their wand or
whatever it is. There's there's there there. They use the the yen.
You know, I don't know if I'm pronouncing it right or it's is it
why u A n or just y e N in English? But it is
not. I think it's the en. That's the end. I'm yearning to
know more about the en. Uh, the uh and the getting silly.
They there's a uh. A problem with the state banks in China this week
is they're trying to sell dollars. The dollar is now, without question,
the strongest currency in the world. The dollar is shining in fact this week
on the economic resilience that we're showing in America, where stumbled a little bit
because the interest rate has gone up a little bit again. But there is
a problem around the world. Australia has an unemployment problem and the rate hike
is taking its toll there. China has a real serious problem. That's why
they're selling dollars so they can run their country. And so we've got a
good situation in terms of the value of the dollar. We don't like it
here because there's way too much. It's not inflation. Well, the government,
in my mind, the government created recession that we've had for the past
eight months or so. It's not a bad recession, it's not horrible,
but it's taking its toll on a lot of businesses. And the best way
you can see it is see the price of oil and gasoline. That always
predicates a lot of other things because we all need energy to run our businesses
and to run our lives, and it runs everything. So if it goes
up in price the way it has, and it reflects somewhat that's going on
in the economy we all have. We have a bit of a problem.
I don't know that they're taking magic mushrooms is going to fix that problem,
but probably it was fun while it lasted. Speaking of problems we've been following,
we've been talking about Target here off and on this week. Because of
the problems they've had, they promoted Pride Month and that seemed to affect the
value of their stock and of their earnings. So now they have announced that
they're going to fine tune in quotation marks, their merchandising approach and so they've
been cowed, if you will, that's an expression. They've been bullied into
not promoting Pride Month as they wanted to because people don't like the fact that
they're trying to give everybody an even shot. Maybe that's not the way you
see it, that's the way I see it. I don't really care about
trying to be more inclusive. Well, yes, there's a little too much
of that, I suppose, depending on how you measure. What is there
too much of including people? Well, I think the weights Sometimes it's done,
it's over the top. Sometimes people are included and others are excluded.
At the price of inclusion is exclusion, and I think some people view it
that way, whether it's true or it is. But other products weren't taken
away. There was just only an addition. So in including some people,
why were other people excluded when their products are still there? You're asking a
question to which there may not be a good answer. At least I don't
see there's a difference. I'm a libertarian probably through and through, and I
don't have a problem looking at the rainbow. I have a problem giving people
or do I think that there is a lot of ignorance and there is a
lot of misunderstanding of what all of this stuff is, at least in my
mind looking at this, I hope objectively that's I try to be. I'm
not always objective about stuff, and I admit to not being objective. But
in this circumstance, you know, you get the Republican politicians, and you
have some of like Fox News and news Max all out there yelling about you
know, this is Pride month, is transgender month, and it's so satanic,
and they come up with all kinds of claims and then they throw them
like mud at the wall to see if it sticks in places like Target.
So Target, I'm not sure, you know, I don't run Target.
I can't tell you how those people are thinking, but it looks to me
like they've removed to some of the themes because of some of the backlash from
some of their customers. Or were they really from their customers? Were they
really or was it it's like the beard drinkers for for Bush Annaheuser Busch,
are there really is the products coming from drinkers or is this coming from these
people who create problems because they want to create problems because they I think the
commitment to support diversity in and of itself, the words being overused. Diversity
is a word that has now become pale because of the way it was used.
I think we got to come up with something else. Equality. What
was that? What's the expression diversity? Equality inclusion? There's some other there
are other words that are used sort of coterminally in one of one of those
things that some people just live their lives differently, And I think that there
is a sense of forced acceptance that, yeah, if somebody lives a life
differently than yours, you have to accept it. And that's not the case.
You do not have to accept it. If that's not the way you
live your life, you don't have to accept it. But just because you
accept yeah, it doesn't mean you have to make somebody else's life more difficult.
Right, Yeah, that's a great explanation. Thank you. That probably
I think we stopped the conversation right there, because that's a brilliant way of
getting to the point. The point is, you don't have to live your
life that way if you don't want to. Nobody's forcing you to. And
the only exception to that for me, and I'm not sure even that that's
part of this discussion. But when you get down to the brass tacks of
the discussion about youngsters who are trying supposedly they'll find their sexuality, youngsters don't
know anything about their sexuality when they're thirteen, twelve years old. And so
somebody who's twelve years old it says, I think I want to be a
boy who's a girl, or vice versa. I think you don't take that
seriously or you there's a different way of understanding. I don't know what I
actually don't know what to do with that. But the gender stuff, it's
it's a societal norm. And you think about it once upon a time when
little kids are being raised and the choices they played with, Well, boys
play with this and girls play with this. Boys do this, girls do
this. Now live in a society where it's like inanimate objects do not have
genders attached to it. If if a little girl wants to play with something
that was once steamed only for little boys, or vice versa, they can
If a boy wants to wear something like a pink shirt, it doesn't mean
he thinks he's a little girl. It's little kids don't have gender identification.
They're little kids. One way or another. Yeah, and so let's not
push him into something that is not appropriate. But the rest of the stuff
leave well enough alone. If not, it doesn't affect you. There was
that last discussion, that last few minutes a few moments there, with Jay
explaining that there are a lot of folks who don't know, they're confused by
all of this, and I'm not being I don't think I'm being disrespectful.
I just think that it doesn't I don't necessarily understand it all myself, frankly.
So anyway, there's probably enough of that. But social media news slash
liberty as is trending stuff. Get to the bottom line? Do I over
explain this to Jay? Do you think with all of the okay, is
it's liberty news social medias trending? Yeah? Well, but technically isn't at
all always trending. It's always trending stuff, trending things and things that you
want to share with us, your thoughts on our new social media handle,
which is at good Day Networks for everything. Jamie Fox is starting to feel
like himself again, so he says, and he's reflected on his unexpected dark
journey. I think it's worth talking about because there's so much attention paid to
it and has been since whenever these complications started. I think it was back
in April. So let's talk about that and what he's gone through and what
he is willing to talk about. This is pretty interesting, pretty compelling,
the stuff. I'm not sure that we know everything, and I'm not sure
he wants this to and I'm not sure it's even any of our business.
Will yeah, right exactly, But he says he's finally starting to feel like
himself. I watched an episode of Beach Shazam last night that has Nick Cannon.
I think he is the host. Oh yeah, spelling in for him,
and he's no Jamie Fox. He doesn't. He's almost is not rigid,
but he's not creative enough. He's not a Nick Cannon is not an
actor. He's a performer in a way. Isn't he the announcer on which
one of the shows is that America's nil? Nick Cannon? He is an
actor. He has done many things, and he's hosting his own stuff,
but most of the things he's hosted has been a little bit more of the
like goofball variety, So I think he's probably trying to I don't know,
be a little bit more fresh. He does a radio show. Yeah,
he does radio show too. It also hosts the Masked Singer, which he
does a great job on that. But it is it is kind of a
it's not so much trivia as it is more Yeah, all right, let's
not make this about him. Let's talk about Jamie Fox. And he's said
he is very thankful. He keeps referring to it as a dark journey,
but now he sees the lights. He's able to be himself. He's grateful
for everybody who sent their good wishes. God is good, he says,
I think that to myself every day, all day. And so in the
you know, all of the things on his social media filled with lots of
great comments, Jeremy Renner writes, bless you my friend, which has had
his own battle. Yeah, he sure it didn't. He was lucky to
get out of that. Yes, I have this past winter. Yep,
right exactly. So, yeah, Octavia, here's Octavia Spencer writing yes,
and when somebody put God is amazing and so are you, Yes, he
is glad you're better and yeah. So the written message is that he's posted
on Instagram express how he's feeding, but not what happened. So, but
doesn't that go to show the people that he keeps in his circle? Because
how many celebrities don't want something out there, but than sources are always giving
it away. There have been no sources quoted as saying anything. Yeah,
all right, So the good news is that Jamie Foxx is coming around,
so we can hold on to that. Twenty eight half the hour here on
good Day. 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, as 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 priviging for about three years now. People say to me periodic
of man, you got a memory like an alphant. It's really really helped
me tremendously provigent, healthier brain, better life. Grigg Freeley is a paid
testimonialist and real privigent user based on the clinical study of subgroups of individuals who

This is a Good Day program. How do you do? How do
you do? How do you do? How do you do? Our new
social media handled very exciting at Good Day Networks. How can you forget that?
And as long as we're celebrating new things, today is National Thrift Shop
Day. If you're a thrift shopper, where we have a Savers around here,
we have let's see Goodwill, Salvation Army. Right, those are the
those are the are the three biggest ones? Are there pawn shops? Right?
Oh? Well yeah? And then of course there's all the there's what
is the one Plato's closet for middle school high school kids. You have a
bunch of ones that are only really local and it's such a great idea Not
only is it something that because it is gently gently or likely used items or
some still have the original tags on them even and some people just can't afford
that, so this is not a great opportunity, but also it's repurposed clothes.
So if you are in the camp of not wanting to buy new clothes
because it adds to fabric and waste and all of that stuff, this is
another good thing too. I think we've recently talked about how Natalie Portman will
not wear or buy anything new. Everything she has, even red carpet events,
are all repurposed, whether she bought them at a secondhand shop, or
she partnered with a designer who uses fabric from previous stuff and then cutsteps or
make a whole new dress but with that same fabric. It's fantastic. Yep,
it's very cool thing. I think the idea of it used to be
there was kind of pooh pooh, I'm looking at a screen that I have.
I have three screens in front of me in my studio, and one
of them I bought for ten dollars at the good will. Was it?
Yeah, it was a good will that is here. We have good will.
We have said around this, Nickela, would you have all these things?
And so I went and found a perfectly good screen that I could use
for one of the things that have to keep my eye and it was ten
dollars. I hooked it up that great. Yeah, why not you can?
This is about clothing furniture. You can find a lot of I don't
know different Yeah, right, you cant ranges, maybe refrigerators, what the
heck? And people who then people who want you to buy and well they're
not energy efficient. You know, if you only have fifty bucks for a
new refrigerator, no one's gonna lose a lot of sleep about whether you can.
Also, how are they know physically coming into your home to see this
with their own eyes? How would they know? Yeah? How do I
know what is costing? Will money or what you are? But you can
afford what you can afford, So I'm all for I don't. I think
it's completely wasteful. And we do so much in that, you know,
we talk about packaging and plastic and the things. Oh my goodness, the
packaging has gotten really shared with a lot of deliveries, like you will get
Amazon trucks all over the place. Yeah, you're a hip with the packaging
itself. You'll get this big box for two small items and it's like,
really, it did your boxes? Why did you use this massive box for
these two little items? And the box is just filled with all the extra
paper stuff and they're not breakable items. Nope, very good des We're right
on it today, Jay, Thank you. Jay is on it. Jay
Krishner Dug Steffan on a Good Day program with a reminder about what happens when
you call eight hundred four one nine d Oug. You right now can be
one of ten people to win two free nights in Las Vegas just by dialing
that number eight hundred four one nine Dug, which is eight hundred four one
nine thirty six eighty four. You've heard me talk about this and you've been
thinking to yourself, I think I want to do this. I could go
to Las Vegas in a couple of weeks or a couple of months. All
I have to do is claim this stay. They have a number of resorts
in the network and come enjoy the Vegas lifestyle. That's what it's about when
you dial eight hundred four one nine thirty six eighty four. All right,
it's not as no gimmick. It's just calling have some fun. So here
is the seventeenth I'm looking at potential coll I'm taking a deep breath because this
thing takes your breath away when you look at the pictures and the video and
stuff still from Maui, the devastation, the record breaking cross winds that are
I think part of the tour. I was looking at some of the trying
to get an early clue as to what triggered this Maui wild fire. So
if there's a security camera at the Maui Bird Conservation Center, which is in
the eastern region of Maui, and it captured a bright flash in the woods
about an hour before the first report of a fire erupted, And so this
is the reason, perhaps, or at least the power company wants you to
think, because there was so much power grabbed by people that grid was being
incredibly stressed, that it could have caused the wires to because there was so
much juice going through them one of them failed. Well, you know what,
if that's true, then they have left themselves open. They would go
bankrupt and out of business because everybody will sue him because they didn't do what
they're supposed to do, and most of the power companies don't. It just
another focus on a problem that we have because in this circumstance, the capitalism
that we live in, love, live by, and love has gone awry
a bit because the responsibility that you have running one of those companies isn't just
to make money, but to provide safe power and not in danger the lives
of what we're up to. One hundred and six people dead. Now,
yes, yeah, it just happened so fast, so quickly, it was
moving a mile a minute. So the governor of Hawaii, Josh Greene,
saying that it's now you know, they don't really know. There's a number
of people who have just they can't find them. And if they were in
the fire, they burned to a cristman and they will find him anyway.
Some of the people that were unaccounted for have been found. There was a
family who I don't know the story about this house, but they believed that
their house was going to be able to withstand the wildfire, and so they
stayed in their home and they went and got people who were out on the
streets since and brought them into safety. So they ended up being about sixty
people found in this single home. All survived, and a lot of those
people were originally unaccounted for until help arrived. So from the place where the
fire probably started to the beach and Lahinah, Yeah, eighty five percent of
everything in the path burned to a crisp two thousand plus acres. The police
department, and we're imagine being a police officer in that circumstance or a fireman.
It's like being in New York on September eleventh, same kind of thing.
And hopefully they didn't breathe in all of that stuff, but it was
an older community. The building roles, the boundary been stuff in those buildings
that you're certainly if it's incinerated, you don't want to breathe that stuff.
Yes, yes, but anyway, well, also on the mainland, in
most other places, whether it is a structure fire, terrorism event, wildfire,
you have all of these these firefighters in the area and then the surrounding
communities who will come and help, and then a lot of times people will
travel in. Well, in Hawaii people most people had to travel in and
it's going to take a lot longer. I mean, what is it from
La to Maui. Is that an eight hour flight? Six hour flight?
It's not a hop, skip and a jump from give me that again,
from where to where to fly from LA to Maui. That's about what an
eight hour flight? A six hour flight? Six about six hours? Yeah,
yep, six a little bit less than six, but yeah, it's
it's the same as me getting on a plane at Boshington going to Los Angeles.
That's how I compare. It's the same, right, and I've done
a number of times. It's you know, the difference in writing from Los
Angeles Tamaui is there's nothing under you except water, at least when you're driving,
you're flying from New York or Boston or Washington or whatever to the West
coast. You look underneath you and you have a problem. Okay, we
can land in Kansas City with a problem. When you go, we take
off from Los Angeles, LAX or SFO or the Seattle is AAA CEA is
the handle for Seattle's airport. When you go, it takes you about thirty
seconds to get off the runway and go out over the water. And that's
it for six hours. And so you know, if there's something in landing,
you are one hundred percent making an emergency landing in the Pacific. Yeah,
but it hasn't happened for I can't remember actually last time there was a
problem. That was one of the things that people were worried about when we
went to basically two engine aircraft from three engine or four engine aircraft. The
concern was if one of the engines goes, what happens if you or over
the Pacific or over the Atlantic or wherever you might be over a long stretch
of water. But that hasn't borne out to be a problem. It seems
that they get the reliability of the engines and that's cool. Meanwhile, back
to what's going on in Maui FEMA. They're one hundred and eighty five people
are still missing. They're in the search and recovery they're working in and there
are a lot of people out there, hundreds of people trying to find other
people. Imagine though, again the mind blower for me is looking at the
pictures of the main drag which is on the ocean and all the cars that
are hundreds and hundreds of cards that burned to a crisp, just everything,
Yeah, right, exactly, So imagine the weeks and weeks and months and
months it's going to take to try to figure this out. And your insurance
rate's going to be affected by this, whether you know it or you don't
know it. The people that are ensuring the same companies for the most part
over there as here on the mainland, and as all that stuff goes into
a pool, the actuarial numbers will affect everybody's This is probably the biggest insurance
grab that is going to and the government's going to be involved in it.
It's if you what people have realized though, Okay, we can rebuild,
but what about all this stuff. This was an old five year storic yeah,
yeah, and iconic, and this was one of the big travel destinations
in Hawaiian on Maui even and even if you stayed on a different side of
the island, you still will typically at least take one day to travel to
Lahinah. It was just one of those things. Here's Amanda Bratton, who's
lived there for twenty eight years, said, our whole town has gone.
Our jobs are gone, our house has gone, our cars are gone,
our community is everything's gone. So can you imagine the mental stress on people
who are being expected to kind of you know, pull themselves up by their
bootstrap without Yes, it will be nice to see how other businesses on the
island who are okay, how they help, if there will be any hotels
that will start housing housing anybody who has survived. And yeah, interesting But
okay, so not to make this like darker political, but I have not
seen until recently a lot of mention of President Biden not really talking about it
much. I know he recently he said he was getting a lot of heat
for not even going over there yet, and he said he doesn't want to
get in the way. It's not like the entirety of Hawaii was on fire,
then you can still go over. I mean, look at Oprah.
She got over actually turned away by the way, the area is right.
Some of the she got into a jam of sorts because people thought she was
trying to take advantage of this she's doing. She brings a television, the
TV cruise in television, people are shooting. What's going on is she's helping
people, And did it that she was trying to make something, make some
hay out of it. Okay, we'll do all of this and we'll put
a TV show together. Yeah, but or was it to show what was
actually happening. Pictures see the video picture worth a thousand words. That what
they say, and that's certainly is true with the aftermath any with the Maui
fires. Get closer to the end of August, there is a large surge
before Labor Day people taking vacation. So if you're on vacation, take us.
A lot of people discover the program when they go to a community that
has the program. They haven't heard of it, or wow, how can
I find this? You go to Good Day Show dot com, ladies and
gents and listen to your heart's content. You can hear all kinds of you
don't just get The show repeats all day every day, so you can hear
the program of that day during the day. But then you have the Good
Day download, which they just stay there indefinitely. Right, So if you
wanted to know we talked about three weeks ago, you could find it down.
Yeah, you can find bits and pieces of the good stories, all
the things that are going on the good. Sometimes there are some things that
aren't so good. Let's start though, however, with good. Yes,
all those in favor of good, raise your hands. Please look at all
over that Hey, So here's the story of a powerlifter who has down syndrome.
He is squatting, he's lifting, He's overcome his challenges and in fact
has won the European Championship. This kid's only one hundred and twenty seven pounds.
Name is Dan mcgalley. Took first place in the European bench Press Championships.
He let's see, he lifted one hundred and fifty four pounds ninety eight
pounds depending on again what it is that he's lifting and what the exercise is.
But he's thirty three years old. He was told he'd never achieve anything,
don't I remember a story when I was teaching school. As a matter
of fact, I almost punched. I'm not really a violent sword, but
I must punched somebody in the face who told a youngster that he would never
amount to anything. And in fact, this youngster, as he grew older,
remembered that, and when he became a very successful real estate person,
he hired a limousine and went to school with a tuxedo on to tell the
teacher, to show the teacher that, at least in terms of economic success,
he had made it. And there's no excuse for anybody. These are
people who are anybody who tells somebody that has their own problems, they really
do. And also it can go one of two ways, where either the
youngster leaves it and then just decides to become like your traveling profit right,
or they they persevere and push forward to despite that person. But there was
something I read recently, and it was more in terms of parent or guardian
and child relationships, and it was like when you when you speak down to
your child or yell at them, not in the sense of yeah, they're
about to run into traffic, but just you know, when you're just betting
mean and kind of exactly, your child doesn't love you less. They tend
to love themselves less. That's all the child brain works. Not a great
lesson from you. You're on it today, they're kiddo. So the bottom
line with this story is as there is with most stories about people and what
they've done to achieve to overcome their diffugulties, is that as you take a
step and go further into what it is your desire, you build your own
confidence. There are a lot of qualities that you need as you grow up
and if you want to you have a goal and you want to crush it.
Then you set your mind to it, thoughts or things you determine I
want. I'm determined to do that. I know I can do it.
And like the Little Engine that Could? Remember that little Did you read that
book when you were a little Thomas the Train. Yeah, well there's that,
and there are but there was a little engine they could before even Thomas
the Train. Oh, I thought, suppose the little engine that could.
Now there's another one. I think before that, if I remember correctly,
because I remember my son loved Thomas the Train. But before when I was
a kid, Thomas the Train wasn't around. But the engine, the little
engine they could was. Like some people have said, I remember, I
want not to make it. It's not about me, but I use this
as a reference. There was an article in one of the trades once that
referred to this program as the little Program that could. And the Little Program
that Could kept going on and on and on to the point where it was
the longest running syndicated radio program in the country. A lot of people don't
get end of that. But anyway, it's because I was interested in continuing
to make this work under any conditions, under any situation and that's just and
I don't mean to say it's about me, but that's my personality. I
don't give up on stuff. I've kept the farm going and nobody can understand
how I've done it. And it's that kind of stuff. Again, it's
not about me, but it shows you. Maybe that's why I'm so imperative
when it comes to not giving up and take a little win. Every day
there's something that happens that you can build on the building blocks of life.
That building blocks get a little bigger every day, and then you get a
little more confident every day, and then you can you know, you think
to say, okay, I can do that. I can do it.
I can do it. I can do it, I can do it,
I can do it, I can do it. I think I can.
I think I think I can. I know I can. I know I
can. So anyway, be kind and it's one of those things too,
to speak on your part of your personality. Dug and a lot of others
will share in this too. But there's a difference between people love their jobs,
people love their careers, but when it's an actual passion and when we
are passionate about something, it's like, just try to hold me back from
it, just try to push me down. It's not going to work.
Yeah, And I think that's why what you've been passionate about has been so
successful, because you are genuinely, truly to your core passionate about it.
And that's actually one of the questions we asked recently too of what drives asking
our friends online what drives you? What are you passionate about? And then
how does it fulfill your life? And answering our questions, our daily questions
on our social media easier to do as of today, the new media social
media handled for everything, all the social media platforms is pretty simple. It's
at Good Day Networks. That's it. Help yourself to that one answering or
thing just want to share with us, Help yourself to that. We were
talking about the Starbucks settlement, the woman who was a supervisor, I think
it was New Jersey if I'm not mistaken, who got like twenty five million
bucks because of reverse racism. And now I look around, I just thought
I'd do a little searching for other circumstances and here's the story that we're like
that a woman who says that her ex boyfriend got into her personal accounts and
distributed photos of her that were intimate and videos of her that were intimate online
just got a billion dollars she get the billion dollars? Probably not, but
this is a I suppose a warning to those who would be dumb enough to
do this sort of thing. Get angry, very real it is. That's
interesting. How did who do you suppose it was responsible for calling it?
Yeah? Right, yeah, Anyway, what had does obviously in this person's
case, especially inflicting the psychological damage. This was a domestic violence case as
well, sexual abuse as well, all kinds of things that we're so problematic.
Apparently she had a couple of different law firms that represented her, and
she wasn't We don't need to know what her name is not important to the
story. But she began a relationship with his fellow in twenty sixteen ended in
October twenty twenty one, and during this the guy amassed all kinds of pictures
using security cameras, the victim's cell phone, email, social media, all
as the form of sexual assault. She was violated. Well, and let
this be a lesson to you once again. You have devices that are not
your own. There are things that are there that other people know can see
you can hack how many times? When I mean they haven't happened recently,
but we had all of those celebrity nude scandals where a bunch of the cloud
or whatever was hacked. Yeah, right, so any rate, let's not
be silly about this and why I guess the one question I would have for
her is why did it take you so long to figure this out? Is
it she started with this guy in twenty sixteen and went for five years with
him. I can't, in my mind think that there wasn't some evidence or
some indication that this guy was that way before five years was up. And
how does he by the way, how does he get so this is this
is just a this is a symbolic award, because is this guy from money?
Does he have a binion dollars to give to this woman? I think
good question, right, Yeah. I think that's one of the things with
a lot of toxic relationships too, whether one of the people they always kind
of think maybe I can change them. Maybe this is just a phase.
So I'm going through, yes, yeah, or I am fortunate fact that
there's been a certain amount of Maybe you didn't have an emotionally safe childhood growing
up that you feel like maybe this is the only type of love you've deserve.
It's heartbreaking. Yeah, it depends on what you grew up around.
All right, let's go back to the good side of things. Past couple
of weeks, sentiments about the economy have gone from kind of blah to pretty
optimistic. I've always been optimistic, and I never thought that we were going
to go down the recession road. And even when you go down the recession
road, there's always there's always a light at the end of the tunnel.
It's just that that's the way the system works. Don't like it. Inflation
is down, though, that's a fact. US is adding jobs, that's
a fact. But then we're back to oh, the economist who says,
look out, we're gonna overheat the economy again. That's how we about to
raise the interest rates again. Screw oh you, you can't borrow it still,
even though the economy is kind of getting back to the basics. I
was at a business meeting last night. Was a friend of mine, number
of friends of mine. Was actually a political fundraiser, but most of the
people there were local business folks, and we're all talking about the interest rate.
One of the members of the crew was a good friend of mine is
on the board of directors of my local bank. And they've gone from having
weekly meetings to having monthly meetings because they don't have any money to lend,
because people have taken their money out of the bank. And so this is
and they've done it because the news media has overexaggerated what's going on in the
economy and overexaggerated. There were a number of medium sized banks the federal government
said this week may be in trouble. Well, why do you have to
do you what's the point of you telling people that, other than if you're
in codes with the biggest four banks that all want to take over these smaller
banks. That's what they That was the outcome what happened earlier this year.
The banks in trouble, the people were all protected. For the most part.
The Chase Bank and Wells Fargo grabbed up all the assets of the banks
and none of the liabilities. This is a con job, and we're all
being conned to a certain extent. So maybe that ought to be. So

comes on cataract surgery. This person's heard you and I talking about what I
did to have that surgery. Is this recommended? Do you have people coming
into your clinic in Florida asking you about things like this? Well, I
have patients of mine complaining about their vision and decreasing their ability to see,
especially time they can't see as well as they could. And this is where
you need to have a great eye doctors. Eye doctors are just wonderful.
The ophthalmologists can amazingly restore vision when cataracts are present. When I was in
medical school, I don't want to tell you how old I am, but
you know, you go back. I guess when I when I was in
medical school in the late seventies, people would be in the hospital for a
week with a cataract operation. And now you know you have to You're in
so quickly you wonder if if you were even there, put a little drop
in your eye, and in a few minutes it's gone. It's amazing the
technology these days. And I think we had an expert a few weeks ago,
a few months ago, talk about the amazing technological advances in cataract surgery.
So don't be afraid of this. You don't even have to stop your
blood thinner anymore. And talk to your eye doctor if you're concerned. All
right, here's a question related to what we were talking about earlier on Good
Day. How then that's COVID if people are worried about it. There are
some who say that COVID can be spread by the things that you pick out
of your nose. I don't want to get too gross here. Well as
everybody picks their nose at some point in time. If people say they don't
pick their nose, they not tell any of the truth. But what about
nose picking in COVID? What's the You know, from the beginning of the
pandemic, there are a lot of people who were wondering about this, whether
too much attention was being given to you know, hand washing. You wash
your hands and you pick your nose. Is that okay? There was a
study done with hospital workers and they were surveyed and apparently hospital workers doug who
admitted to picking their nose, they were three to four times more likely to
wind up having a COVID nineteen infection is that because they were using dirty fingers
to stick in their nose to pick out the boogers. Well, lee virus
reside. It's clearly pretty common sense. The virus resides in the nose and
many and you're shaking up the contents and it's not surprising that you're gonna get
yourself more exposed. So how do you get the bookers out of your nose
if you don't pick them? And not to be make too fine a point
of this, but I well if you do, if you do pick them,
wash your hands very thoroughly, or use you know, I'm sure you
have Kleenex in Boston, right, Yes, there's Kleenex around. Use the
Kleenex to pick your nose. I think that's the word from doctor ken to
blow your nose, Blow your nose, blow it, pick it whatever.
Okay, let's talk about time restricted eating and whether or not it could prevent
health issues. There are a lot of people in Europe with cardiologists, so
I figure this is about heart disease as much as anything else. And we've
talked about shift work before, but I was looking at people who work longer
out like longer than an eight hour day, and they don't eat at all,
or they don't eat regularly. This was a group of firefighters that were
researched. But can you imagine that if you only have a few minutes to
eat and you gobble it down, that would affect your health and maybe vice
versa well. Time restricted eating DOUG is a hot hot item in medicine right
now because there was a recent study that showed if you only eat eight hours
during the day and it didn't matter how much, you would lose as much
weight as those who calorie restricted but didn't restrict the time when they ate.
I myself tried eating only eight hours a day and I felt horrible. The
problem is also that when people think they can eat anything they want, they
stop eating good quality, healthy food. By myself, I ate only healthy
food for only eight hours and I just felt at the ends week dizzy,
lightheaded, and I expanded it to twelve hours. You can try ten hours.
But I now eat twelve hours a day, making sure I don't eat
within three hours ago in a bed. See I don't do that. I
need to be more careful about that because I do eat closer than three hours
before you go to bed. Sometimes I'm even snacking as I go to bed
all right. There they are answers to some of your questions for doctor Ken
