The next Stefan Good Day download with Doug and Jay Kirshner is made possible in
part by Kelitron, which is the safe way for you to lose weight and
keep it off, and also by previagent keeping your brain healthy. Jay Kirshner,
I'm Doug Stephen with an overview of things in your body that you aren't
really too sure why they're there. You ever get that like eyelashes? You
ever get the thing about eyelashes? Why do we have eye lashes? You
want to take it your eyes? They are a protection for your eyeballs,
all right, And if they're long, what happens. I happen to have
long eye eye lashes and they get stuck in my eyeballs from time to time.
But they look good and they do stop debris from getting into your eyes.
How about that? They have also another function. They're kind of like
whiskers on a cat. I wonder how you were able to blink just in
a nick of time when something comes flying in your eyes? Just reflex?
Yeah, Well, an object gets close to your eyes, like a bug
or a speck of dust, you know that sort of thing. Eyelashes trigger
a blink reflex that protects your peepers. Cheapers, peepers, we'd get those
peeples when you're at the eye doctor and they have to dilate your eyes and
put the eye drops in, and for some reason, putting eye drops in
myself I can do. But if somebody else is putting eye drops in my
eye, my eyes flutter. Yeah, So anyway they lubricate your eyes.
Also, your ears are not just to hear. If you didn't know,
some people have what's called Minard's disease, which is a problem with your inner
ear that keeps the inner ear is what keeps you standing up straight. It
balances you. So if you have like an ear infection and you fall over,
don't worry. It's because the ear drum is not working properly. There
are small little crystals inside your ear, not wax, but the canal is
what manages to keep you standing up straight, balances you. That sort of
thing. I think it's really fascinating to know what there is about your body
that is important that you may not know. Fingernails, for example, if
you have and this is interesting because I've had these sort of crinkly fingernails all
my life, and people, oh, something wrong with your blood flow,
it doesn't happen. Huh. Yeah, the ridges on your nails, Yeah,
the capillaries in your finger if they're not getting enough blood. Well,
I had frostbite when I was young, and when it's cold, I don't
The blood doesn't get all the way there. And so that's an indicator as
to whether or not you're getting enough oxygen in your blood. You know how
when you go to the hospital they test your blood oxygen level was supposed to
be about ninety four, ninety five, ninety six somewhere in there, and
that's a good thing. Also, I'm being doctor Doug here practicing without a
license. Before we get to doctor Ken. I should ask Ken about these
things this week and a good day hell there maybe, Jack. But the
tonsils that you have, you know, I don't know whether when you were
young, doctors said take those tonsils out because they don't do any good.
Well, the toxic didn't know what they were talking about. Because they do.
They are a barrier to germs getting down your throat. I never had
my tonsies, did you. Tonsils and adnoids they used to come out,
but they don't needymore. Yeah, my sister did because she was always getting
strapped throat I didn't get I got strep throat a lot as a child,
but not enough that I still have my tonsils. My husband had his out
as an adult, though, and I feel like they always say I get
them out as a child because it's easier recovery than when you are an adult.
And I was young to remember my sisters, but my husband had a
very difficult time when he got his out in his early twenties. Yeah,
they're way out in the back of your mouth, are They're first in line
to defend you against germs. They're vulnerable to infection because and they sometimes get
inflamed because they're the ones that are stopping the germs. So now it seems
that if you have had your and I just didn't have to fit me.
But I know that some doctors will say that because they're tied to the lymph
nodes, there's sort of a ring in the back of your throat, behind
your mouth and behind your nose. The essence of taking them out makes it
worse for you when you know you can when you're exposed to a lot of
the stuff like we have this year. As a matter of fact, a
lot of the stuff the viruses that are around oh ooh ah huh. And
the other thing the appendix, small pouch attached to the lodge and testine that
has a really bad reputation gets infected a lot. It's an actual role in
the body is unclear, but it might not be as useless as people think,
because your guts so full of bacteria, the good bacteria. And that's
why if you like Jack Stockwell says all the time, healthy gut, healthy
life. Your gut's not healthy. The gaps practitioner, you know, he
talks about that all the time on his Power of Good Day Health. Say
that some people are being born without one nowadays, like they're being born without
an appendix. They're being born without wisdom teeth. Really, I didn't know
that, no, really, huh no. But it's a flushing for your
system, kind of a safe house so that some of them, the smaller,
the micro organisms that can really be beneficial to you to repopulate near a
gut in case you gets sick and they get kind of wiped out. So
there you go, all right, I had a good way to get you
herself focused. There's another focus flying across the country yesterday. I saw,
well it was ice in when I started the day yesterday. It was in
Salt Lake City and the ice. I walked out of Jack Stockwell's office and
there was ice. This was like in the early afternoon ice on the driveway
and in the parking lot. I was knocked my carrying bags and stuff.
Very slippery. I got into Chicago last night and it was you couldn't see
your hand in front of you. But there wasn't a lot of snow in
the ground. It is foggy because it was beginning to warm up. And
now here back on the East Coast, temperatures today is supposed to be in
the mid to upper forties. Over the weekend, here they were in the
single numbers. Jay, what'd you get for temperature in Cleveland over the weekend?
It must have been cold there, at least through Sunday morning. I'm
gonna guess. I think because it was so cold the previous week. It
really it was fine. It was perfect to go outside and play in the
snow. Yeah, it was I want to say twenties thirties, but there
was a lot of snow and it was just it was the perfect weekend to
go get outside. Well as people listening around the country. There were eleven
states. Those of you listening down in Texas. That's where our buddy James
Collins is. He's at the main studio in Dallas. There is still an
alert for ice in some parts of Texas, and there's a line up to
Michigan in the Upper Peninsula, that area, Wisconsin. Eleven states all together,
ice, freezing rain, mixed precipitation. Oh, a lot of nice
were canceled that were scheduled for this morning through I think maybe like one or
two pmsh They just one had yesterday and they were like, you know what,
We're just going to go cancel them. We're not even going to delay
them. They're just straight up canceled. Well, that was what the facto
was when I was flying into because to get from Salt Lake City back here
to Boston, I had to go through Chicago and they kept, you know
those warnings all the time, you can change your flight. Well I can't
change my flight. I got to get back here so I can work with
you. But a lot of people did change their flights. And the storm
that we're talking about going through the heartland, bringing this freezing rain, bringing
this sleep the interstates. Let's see what's affected forty, Interstate forty, Interstate
thirty five, Interstate seventy, Interstate eighty, Interstate ninety and so the but
good news, James, for you down in Texas. It's all going to
be over by this afternoon. Lots of warm air moving in. But Indianapolis,
Detroit and where you are, as you've suggested there in the northeast Ohio,
we'll get it. And then the temperature must have dropped down again.
That's dangerous when it warms up and things melt, and then you have what
they call black ice, which is as you can't see on the roadway,
on the sidewalks and that sort of stuff. That's what closes down the airport
in Chicago. I think did you close a little bit yesterday? But this
storm will cause a lot of travel disruptions. Uh as far let's see into
Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine. Uh let's see, Pennsylvania gets a couple
of inches of snow today, Hudson Valley roads slick during the rush hour tonight,
probably here on the far east coast. And then the heavy rain that
will come in and wash away all of the snow. There's a half a
foot of rainfall expected, James, you are in Texas, the Upper into
Mississippi and huest to New Orleans, all those places get flashed flooding. Wow,
well it's wintertime, right. There's a flash flood watch up in Sacramento,
California. Northern California is gonna get washed out, washed up or whatever.
San Diego may have a little bit of rain, a couple of inches
here and there. The Sierra Nevadas when you go inland. One of the
great contrasts about La and La County in that area, that lower base of
southern California is the mountains are there, and you can see the snow when
it's seventy degrees in Los Angeles and look into the mountains up to Big Bear.
In those places they have snow. There are a lot of people who
get in their cars. They only have to drive an hour an hour and
a half, and they're into the Snea a sneak, good Doug into skiing
and snow. Oh yeah, you can surf in the morning and then be
skiing afternoon, right exactly, Okay, And so then later this week temperatures
will be up in the forties from Chicago actually down in Nashville, is gonna
be sixty this week and fifty here on the East coast, New York,
Boston, et cetera, et cetera. So I went through that whole weather
forecast because it's kind of an interesting one and it really will dictate other than
the sort of election or whatever you want to call it, primary in New
Hampshire going on today. That's probably the big story. A time for us
to dig around into social media and to find out what some of the trending
gossipy stuff is far as celebrities concerned. And in the top ten is Adele
and she's talking interestingly Neflill. She talks about lots of different things because she's
always sort of in the spotlight. People want, hey, what'd you think
about your toenail that came off last night's Yeah you gotta hangnail? Adele tell
us about it? Does any conversation over adelea it will be continued. She
and Taylor Swift same thing? Are they friends? By the way, Adele,
I don't know the answer. Interesting all right? Anyway, imagine what
she's experienced in her thirty six years of life, this lady. I think
it's something she was born with talent. We all have a talent and hers
musically speaking, was I think she was what eighteen or nineteen? Kind of
same. Taylor Swift started a little younger, right, How was she like
fifteen or sixteen? Yeah? I want to say when she did her first
When Taylor Swift did her first album, she was fifteen, sixteen something around
there. Adele's first album was nineteen because Adele titles all her album yeah with
her age when the album is created right. Well. She has shared a
post revealing that the Iron Claw, the movie that's out been around for a
month or so, is her favorite movie at the moment. She says,
there are a lot of great movies, but if you haven't seen it,
Ironclaw was my favorite. She loves zach Efron and she liked Maestro. Also,
I have not seen that one yet. I saw a couple of movies
over the weekend, but I didn't see Maestro. It hasn't been released.
That's one of those stupid movies I think. Is that Netflix or Apple or
whoever it is, they don't release them. No, it's Amazon, I
think, so the public doesn't get to see the large number of people who
don't have streaming they want to go to the movies anyway, So she likes
zach Efron. He plays Kevin von Erlick. This is about the Von Erlick
wrestling family. They had a lot of impact in the nineteen sixties. Actually,
up until recently, five of the six brothers had all kinds of really
strange things that happened to them, accidents, deaths, that sort of thing,
the Curse of the von Erics. It was called remember when I was
younger. Kevin is sixty six now he's the only one who's still alive,
and so he was interested by and zach Efron did really they built him up.
He looked like he looked like or zach Efron and Jeremy Allen White.
They basically changed their physique their body shape for these roles. And I've heard
that they've done no great job. Yep, they did. So there's Adele's
interest in movies for you. I'm Greg. I'm sixty eight years old.
I grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, majored in business administration. I do
motivational speaking in addition to substitute teaching. Part of the reason 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
attendant, he's 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 Prevagen for about three years now. People say
to me periodical, Man, you got a memory like an elephant. It's
really really helped me tremendously. Prevagen Healthier Brain, Better life. Greg Freeley

Mianball are the great motion pictures I think family viewing and America speaking here.
Did you think that these movies? Oh my family? Yeah? Well,
so I saw Mama Mia on Broadway and absolutely fell in love with it.
So I was so excited when they were bringing it to the Big screen,
and then of course when you put Meryl Streep in it, who is iconic,
and Amanda sate Cifred so good. The second the sequel was enjoyable too,
but it was nothing like the first one. The father is the Three
Potential Fathers. Anyway, Pierce Brausman singing is hysterical. It just is so
something to look forward to because they're doing another one, as it turns out,
all right, the Big Game. We're not supposed to call it the
super Bowl because we didn't pay a license fee, but let them come chase
me around. I think it's only doing something we were making money off of
it. Like we were to have a contest where their sponsors or something,
we would have to say the Big Game over the super Bowl. But if
we're just speaking about it, I think it's is it? When is the
final playoffs this weekend? Yeah? Detroit is not expected there in it.
Who's the other team? So there's the four teams that are left? Right?
Yes, I have it. Oh, I'm totally blanking. Now it's
the Chiefs, It's the Lions, it is yep, No, I'm totally
blinking. Yeah, I'm more teams. I just happened to be looking.
I was someplace where the game was being played on Sunday afternoon, the Detroit
What the heck was I the Ravens and the Niners. Yeah, all right,
So anyway, after that is decided this next weekend and the game is
the second Sunday of February. I don't claim to be an expert or people
say, why don't you You don't know what you're talking about. Why do
you talk about it. I can stumble through stuff as well as the next
person, and it's because a part of Americana. It doesn't mean that I
have to like it or enjoy it or involve myself in it. There are
a lot of things that I know a lot about, and we talk about
those most of the time. But because football is such an important part,
much to my chagrin, of Americana, because it's so dangerous anyway, the
teams that are going to make up the roster on the big game it's February
eleventh, by the way, there still is a little bit of deciding to
do. Obviously, is Jan and I were just talking about. But then
when you get down to the nitty gritty about why some people get involved has
nothing to do with football. It has to do with food, chips,
saltsa okay, yep, there you go. Appetizers. Some people, really
they go all up like Thanksgiving or Christmas, making up all kinds of things,
right, that are a part of what people like to celebrate, and
that's cool. Won't make anything they don't just straight up order pizza and chicken
wings and breadsticks and have those delivered too, And there's nothing wrong with any
of it. It's good to notat Yeah, so maybe one of the things
that we can do on our forum, which is easily attainable all of our
social media handles, whether it's Facebook, Instagram, whether it's Twitter. I'm
advocating for Reddit at some point in time. I haven't gotten I'm not that
has not received the Jay stamp of approval. Hey, if you want to
write some blogs, go for it. We'll get on Reddit anyway. Share
your recipe with us at good Day Networks for something that's unusual, Right,
if you have a photo of what it is that you're cooking or that you've
made in the past, or some recipe that would be good. That'd be
a thing. Yeah, everybody has that one thing that people always request them
to bring to any function. Whether it's a special dip or a special dessert.
My friend makes a secret recipe rice Krispy trees. I don't even like
rice Krispy trees. I don't know what she puts in hers. It is
very, very secret, this recipe, but it is I can't even describe
it. It's just playing Rice Krispy trees and they are so addicting. They're
so good. Marshmallows and rice crispies together. That's kind of an old treat,
is it. Yeah, But there's something additional that she does, or
some way that she layers things. I do not know, because she will
not like that recipe will die with her. Good for her, all right.
Here's some good news for a Michigan fellow who won two hundred thousand dollars
in the Power Bowl lottery using his children's birthdays as numbers. I think this
is something a lot of people do. I did it for a long time
with my children's birthday numbers. So this guy one hundred and fifty bucks,
one hundred and fifty thousand. After you know, you cash in and you
take out all the stuff that has to be taken out, he matched.
His name is James Allen. He picked a combination of his children's birthday numbers
as his numbers. He went to sleep thinking he had matched four numbers and
had won fifty thousand, But as luck would have it, the next day
that number quadrupled because he had unknowingly matched the powerball number. How about that?
So he knew he'd won fifty, but when he woke up, he'd
won two hundred thous So there you go. That's kind of a cool thing.
Yeah it is. It's a nice present, nice cool cool way.
The numbers are back up there again now I think, aren't they into the
hundreds of millions for both Powerball? And uh and and uh when you call
it? Why do I and millions? Yeah, Doug? Do you when
you play the lottery? Do you pick the same numbers each time? Or
do you do the auto picks? It depends on what time I have.
If I'm in a hurry, I just take a quick pick, and then
it's because of good therapeutically for me. Anyway, I think it's cool to
just think about all the good things you can do with it as as the
as the whole process goes through, what do you do? I do one
of each? So I will do a ticket with the quick picks, and
then I'll do a ticket with well, sometimes I'll do two tickets where I
pick the numbers and I'll pick our favorite numbers that my husband I always use
for everything. And then other times I'll pick numbers that just pop into my
head. I've not been successful on any of those three options, but that's
what It's kind of fun, yeah, kind of fun to do that.
All right, Let's move down to Memphis, where residents now are boiling water.
The ice has made a mess of the delivery system. So now Memphis
has been what you as you look back at where you used to live,
right, boiling water. This happened that Memphis is on day four of their
boil water. Notice it is or no, I think there are four or
five now, but it's going on for quite some time. With that ice
that hit Arkansas and Missouri traveling through YEP, so the pipes broke. This
is not only in Memphis, but there are problems in Arkansas Missouri as well.
So the advisory went out. Six hundred thousand people are in this system,
so they should boil, and they have been boiling. Whether you're drinking
the water, brushing your teeth with the water, preparing food with the water.
The system and the broken water mains allow a lot of different stuff to
contaminate the water supply. Now that's not to say it is contaminated. This
is best practices. It makes good sense to do it right. There could
be harmful bacteria in it, and it's kind of one of those things why
risk it. But this is also kind of on the same page. But
whenever there is and I feel like we don't talk about the preparedness side of
things enough, Like this is more of the after effect of Okay, boil
water. But whenever you know that there is a storm coming, whether it
is a thunderstorm or an ice storm or a big blizzard or something, fill
your bathtubs. Always fill your bathtubs with water, because if something happens and
the water supply is completely gone, you at least have that water that you
can then boil and continue to use. Yeah, yep, there's a lot
of that. When we've been talking thinking about this weather thing for a week,
because it's been a national story and it's affected the lives of most everybody
one way or another. Seventy five people have died in the snow and the
ice crashes, that sort of thing. At one point in time where another
ten million people had lost their power because of rolling blackouts, and it just,
you know, this is what happens this time of year, and what
it does is point to the inadequacy of our power system, the power grid
where the wires are all above ground. Because the power companies don't want to
spend the money. It doesn't go to their bottom line, so we just
keep fixing we inconvenience our users. The power lines go down because the tree
limbs fall on top of them because there are a lot of dead trees along
the roads everywhere, and so people sometimes go without power for four hours or
four days or whatever it is. It's a national disgrace actually, the way
our power grid operates. It's just it's ridiculous. And we have because they're
you know, I understand the profit motive, and I'm for it, But
the CEOs of these companies are paid on the stock value. So the more
you spend, the less the bottom line. You don't get the profits to
the bottom line, so therefore the stock price is not as valuable. Therefore
you have to suffer because the water main breaks or the power lines broken.
Or whatever happens. So anyway, you know that there are there are over
one hundred communities still in America that have lead based pipes delivering the water.
Lead pipes that have been in the ground for well over one hundred years.
Off again, we just got it in the last ten twelve years. We
got it fixed our address here in framing them. And you know what they
did. I found out when we were putting the water mains into our development.
What they did was they shut the water main. They put most of
most every community has two water mains, like a sixteen inch main and an
eight inch main, and the old the eight inch mains are usually the ones
that are lead lined. So they have taken in most of every street.
Again in old neighborhoods. It's not a new neighborhoods, obviously, but in
the older neighborhoods where the pipes have been in the ground for eighty ninety hundred
years, they managed to do it like a road or router, and they
got out all of the rust and the and the lead and everything, and
then they lined the pipes with cement. It really I never knew that happened
until we were looking at the road at the pipes in the road and seeing
I said, is what happened here? So it was explained to me how
that was done. It really it's very interesting how it's done. But you
do. One of the things that I agree with with some people who are
always yelling the sky is falling is lead has no place in the water supply
at all, so we've got lead pipes to get them out. So it's
great business time for Caldron. I would think the phones would be bringing off
the hook and people would be ordering nauseum. That's right. You know.

this portion of the program, we dig around into social media a lot of
the gossipy things that are trending about celebrities of that sort of thing. But
I also like to dig into the technology, the social media comings and goings
frankly that are not necessarily personal, like this video of a fast food prank
that has triggered a lot of backlash. Jay. There are a lot of
silly things that are online. People post them to get attention for themselves or
whatever it is fifteen minutes of fame, and then everybody jumps on the trend
and you can just google water spilled challenge in the car and a slew of
videos pop up. So here's another example. A clip posted on a sub
reddit site showed a man riding in the back of his car with dozens of
Burger Can drinks stacked in front of him. The drinks spilled as soon as
the driver jerked the car back and forth, creating a wet mess and certainly
a lot of trash. So a caption posted above the video read, anyone
else pissed by the amount of unnecessary waste generated for a funny video? And
I think, yeah, I mean yeah, you were talking about the water
spill challenge, that sort of thing, especially when like people like this,
they go to a fast food restaurant, they're getting those disposable cups, but
they're getting a lot of them. That is somebody who had to stop doing
their job basically to serve the customer a bunch of waters, which are fast
food restaurants charging for water. Now, no, well I don't know.
I don't go to a fast food resume, but I wouldn't have thought that
they don't know. They don't. They still don't. Yeah, yeah,
So it's one of those things of like the person they're not even making any
money off of it. They're losing money, they're losing time because they have
to fill this order of a whole bunch of water cups and then it's just
in those cups. By by the way, a lot of people will recycle
them. They're not recyclable. Where they go to be recycled, they don't
have the equipment because there's that thin plastic that's on the cup that sometimes they
can't do, so then they end up just put like. You may recycle
something, but it doesn't mean that's actually being recycled. A lot of times
the stuff you recycle ends up going into the trash anyway. Look at the
comments though, the disgusted people quote stop watching, they'll stop doing. It's
a business selling clicks. Yeah, let's see you get it. And somebody
else post to get a job and stop making stupid videos. A lot of
funny videos involve a lot of unnecessary waste. Yep. So there are good
applicable comments we posted and I made reference to this earlier on the program.
Jay posted a it wasn't really a question, it was a request for you
to ask us anything. And I've been reading some of these things. There
are a lot of posts that are there. You can find it at gooddayshow
dot com. Are any of our social media good day networks, et cetera,
et cetera. Here's a fellow named Sam who writes and again this is
ask us a question, make a comment about anything that is important. So
Sam writes about democracy. He writes, for many years, those who favor
unlimited, centralized government have constantly told people that the US is a democracy and
the right wing extremists want to destroy it. This is a lie. I
do admit that part of the problem is there's always been ambiguity in the use
of the word democracy. If it means rule by the people or the majority
at the moment, then the US was certainly not established as a democracy.
It is not. It's a republic, a constitutional republic. We are not
a democracy in the most formal and the strict meaning of the word, and
a founding fathers didn't use that term basically. So anyway, Sam goes on
to talk about different types of rule monarchies and oligarchies and democracies and other things
like that. It's a thoughtful presentation that I'm sure a lot of people are
interested in government. There ought to be more people interested in government, frankly,
so that people are going to actually understand how we are governed. But
you can check it out help yourself to this portion this posting that we have
