The next Stephen Good Day download with Doug and Jay Kirshner is made possible in
part by Kellatrin, which is the safe way for you to lose weight and
keep it off, and also by privigent keeping your brain healthy. Guess what,
Jay, It's already Thursday, Thoyas Day, they say in some sections
of I guess New York City. Probably they talk about those day. It's
Thoya's Day, Thalias Day. Maybe there's New Jersey. August the twenty fourth
is upon us. And we're here to discuss this, that and the other
thing because some of us spend time watching a debate last night. Some of
us did not, Some of us think it is important, some of us
don't. And so I'm going to represent some of us, yes, and
you can represent some of us as well. You said that you watch some
of it last night. But because there's so much weather information, you're getting
that heat dome is sort of headed in your direction. I actually no,
I think you forgetting. You're getting the little back end of the of the
hurricane that did sort of a circuitous route across the northern part of the country.
It was grabbed by the jet stream at Dogone jet stream and it's pulled
it to your direction. The good thing about where you are is that there's
a lake there called Erie And I don't know how it got its name because
it isn't really very eerie. It used to be dirty, and that I
guess was kind of eerie, but now it's just another lake and the Great
Lake System and lots and lots of rain coming from you'd think it after a
while it would run out of water, right, how much water can there
be that it's gets sucked up? You know there. One of the fascinating
things about water is that there is no new water water the water that we
have, and that's when you touch a drop of rain, think about you're
touching something that's billions of years old. Oh. There theories that the water
on planet Earth is actually older than the Sun itself because the water droplets in
the makeup came from meteor that was floating through floating through the universe for quite
a long time. There, you go, interesting to think of it like
that. Yeah, it is. Well, the world is a very interesting
place, even though some people think that all the world revolves around Donald Trump
and the Republicans and politics and what Joe Biden says or doesn't say what was
it. He came across yesterday with something. Oh, the guy who was
murdered by Putin yesterday in the plane crash, he said, I thought that
would happen. Okay, good listen, that didn't do much one way or
the other. Why would you expect, just as an aside, that Putin
would do anything, but what he did he gets even with his enemies,
and and he poisons them shoots, went to a lot of elaborate trouble to
kill this guy in a plane crash. And you know this, this is
that's their m O. The KGB guys. He is a KGB guy,
and the KGB guys know how to dispatch their enemies. So it's there's no
surprise there. And by the way, there were no surprises last night the
Republican debate, Right, did you get anything out of that that made you
think, Wow, that guy's really fabulous. I'm voting for him. No,
there, I mean it really cut out with a lot of weather information,
and at a certain point I went to bad. Yeah, I was
like, all right, never mind, I see you later. Okay,
So the weather, interestingly enough, is interesting. But the end of the
storm, the end of what has been the hurricane or the would be hurricane
comes to us late tonight and tomorrow morning we'll have it looks like about twelve
to fourteen hours of rain, some of it pretty heavy, like you've had
there. How much two inches normally that seems to be two two and alf
inches are what people are reporting they've got. Yeah, it was a few
inches, but it was still enough that some of the roadways were pretty flooded.
And it was an early storm. Lots of lightning, a couple down
trees and areas. Yeah. And then there's that heat dome in twenty two
States, the searing heat, the fact that the hurricane lives on and the
heat lives on, but they're not necessarily together. More of the central part
of the country and the southern US having this dome of high pressure and the
heat that goes with it, it's dangerous for some people. Potentially record breaking.
It depends on how you know. You look at the weather. It
wasn't warmer this week than it was last week. Yeah, I broke a
record from last week. Is it warmer than it was last month? Yep,
I broke the record from last month. Is it warmer than it was
last year at this time. Yep, it broke the record for last twenty
four. It's these records are silly, but in terms of what you should
do under the circumstances to deal with the heat, because it is serious,
don't go outside. That would seem to be kind of common sense, right,
because if you have, you know, pulmonary problems, there are health
risks, and so if you don't have a way to keep cool, you
don't have a way to get enough hydration, then you could have a problem.
So you forget how easily to hydrated they are when it's so hot.
While you're dogs too, animals, Ye, gotta take care of the end.
And keep in mind too the pavement. You may have to be carrying
your fur baby from the house to grass, because if that pavement is too
hot for your berapy, it's too hot for their pops. Yep, exactly.
So let's see here Chicago, the triple digit numbers first time in eleven
years. The humidity levels are pretty brutal. The maximum heat, the well
the end they have the heat and the de point, right, they put
those together and together at least in the upper Midwest Chicago, those areas one
hundred and twenty degrees well, and then you don't think about the temperature,
and then the feels like because the temperature is actually taken in the shade,
so it gets the true temperature, and then the feels like is what it
actually feels like, because then that's in the sunny part yep. So they
started school and then they stopped school because it's too hot. If you if
they did have school recess inside sports events canceled or postponed at least number of
even up in South Dakota and anyway. So this is a bubble of high
pressure, as I say, along with that heat and that humidity just really
is tough stuff. And it's been tough on the farmers because there's a drought
still. Like areas in Iowa all the way from Iowa stretching back to Idaho
have been and it was further enough north so that it missed the weather that
you're having in Cleveland. Went north. It's been up in Canada and it's
coming back down across the lakes, so it's missed the ability to cool off
those places. And you go down to Texas, the heat there and by
the way, it isn't just now if you go back over much of the
summer. This heat has been a problem. It isn't just this week.
It's been for days, weeks, actually triple digit temperatures. The roads are
buckling the water system. See, this is an other testament to bad management
and bad government. There are ways, easy ways, and this goes from
Texas pretty much goes for every part of the kivery part of the world.
Collect the rainwater. It's not that difficult to do. You know these politicians
in California, Oh, we don't want to do that might affect the environment.
That the way you're non duty nuts. But nonsense, you're going to
affect anything except whether you're thirsty or not. You've heard me talking about this
development that I'm involved in here, the Aggrohood, and we're putting in four
i think they're eight or ten thousand gallon tanks underground to collect the rainwater so
that we can use it for irrigation or whatever other needs we may have.
And you may have, or people that'll be here may have the heat all
the way from New Orleans up to Minneapolis. And that's this is a People
who are dying are people There have been twenty five thirty people who have died
here because just they're out in the heat and they don't. It's like shoveling
snow in the wintertime. You all, we want to go to a cool
place, think about the snow. First snowstorm. Oh it'll be nice and
cool. I wish it was wintertime. That's what people say. In the
summer, and then in the wintertime, I wish it was summer. So
in the summer, you want the winter. The winter, you want the
summer. Uh huh. So let's see what, right, isn't that what
happening is you want the opposite, right, And so it's dangerous to go
out in shoveled snow if you haven't done it for a while. It's the
same thing. It's dangerous to go outside if you haven't be out in the
heat. And let's see here, what do we have for it was?
Remember how hot it was early in the season in Florida, And it was
really hot out in New Mexico and Arizona. And now that's changed somewhere.
They had a lot of rain out there, So it's been a different year.
Global warming game, no boo, or it is kind of what it
is? Kind of yep, all right, here's a quick story about China
because there's a review a number of countries around the world. Leaders of the
countries have been surveyed, and the views of China are broadly negative. So
you know, I'd pick up on this because this is about the Chinese government,
not about the Chinese people. They're foreign policy, what they've done.
This is something that two thirds of adults who were questioned in twenty eight different
countries were they were asked about China, what do you think about their actions,
what do you think about their leadership, what do you think about their
initiatives with the Russians, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. And actually the seventy
one percent think China does not contribute to peace and stability. Du well in
comparison the right of the listen to this, the Global Peace and Stability initiative.
In terms of the Russians, ninety seven percent think the Russians are the
world's biggest problem, and then China and Iran and next. So there's nothing
new there, right, It's pretty much the same as what you would think.
And America doesn't really come and let's see, it's eight percent. I
think that we have an unfavorable review of America and let's see here I'm looking
at. They went to countries like Kenya and Mexico and Nigeria to get raised.
The only the only country that had good things to say about China was
Nigeria. They just think there's a lot of stuff going on that Chinese are
trying to buy the way into influence in Africa. So there's that story.

There's a new documentary about Ukraine and it comes from Sean Penn. Jay.
It has a new trailer that's been just a glimpse, you know,
that's what trailers do into the movie. This is This is sort of a
documentary which led up tells the story of what led up to the war in
Ukraine. It's entitled Superpower. It's a focus on Ukraine's fight to maintain its
freedom, so the title would suggest. It was presented at the Berlin International
Film Festival. And we'll talk about what really is in there. What about
Zelinsky. We've heard a lot about Sean Penn's interest and the work is matter
of fact, he was on the ground when the war started, I think,
wasn't yees So that documentary that had that was presented at the Berlin International
Film Vessel. The documentary actually started in twenty twenty one as a very different
film. It was more so highlighting this comedic actor who then becomes President Zelinski.
And so he was there when everything started to turn and Russia was trying
to invade, and they kept the they kept the cameras rolling, and they
captured so much more in the film. The documentary has entitled Superpower, and
it is truly right in the middle of everything that's going on. Sean Penn
was there and when the first night of the invasion, I think that yeah,
yeah, yeah, and when they when the invasion first started happening,
that's when people became aware that this documentary was even being made. And a
lot of people thought that Sean Penn went over there because of the specific thing.
He took a little bit of heat, but he was already there.
He was all this. This project was already in the works for a year
previously. So it's very interesting. There's just the what was supposed to be
this lighthearted documentary turns into what it is history speak, facing down the bloodiest
invasion of any country in Europe since the Second World War. This is really
the I think there's probably some history here. He was not only trying to
Zelinski with a lot of people that you know, families, children, all
the people and everybody in a good duck in Ukraine have been affected by this,
as well as a lot of people in Russia. You know, there
have been a thirty thousand Russian young men a few women as well been killed
in this thing first happened where the Russian military really didn't have many orders because
they didn't think this was going to happen more than seventy two hours. So
they were running out of gas, they didn't know where to go, and
citizens of Ukraine were how helping them. We're giving them their cell phones so
they could call their family and giving them food. It was amazing. Yeah,
all right, Sonny, I guess it premieres on Paramount Plus on the
eighteenth of September, those of you who are looking forward to that. Jay
Kirshner. She's in Ohio. And there are a couple of things this couple.
When I say couple, I was thinking about a couple of stories about
couples, about some couple news. In fact, a Tennessee news anchor got
engaged to be married after introducing her own proposal. It was cute. It
was cute. Yeah. She was Cornelia Nicholson is her name, as she
was on the set at the television station. Her boyfriend, guy named Riley
Nagel, came on and asked for her hand in marriage. It was the
proposal was supposed to mirror sort of a new segment. Okay in the news
today, I'm getting married. Yes, all right, So what did you
think you? You're a romat assist, right, I guess I think I
am too. It was such a cute video. I mean, he's so
he works with a news station. Two he I believe she does morning,
he does evening or sounding like that, and she was just kind of recording
some some promo things to be aired at a later time. She's going through
and the prompter comes up and she starts reading it and there are actually images
of herself along with her boyfriend now fiance and the back and then he comes
out and he has a speech, and it was a really really cute They
had actually met while working together at a different news station, and yeah,
it was just one of those really cute, funny things where she starts talking
about it and she has no idea what that it's her proposal until she does.
And you can see where you can see where the wheel start turning,
and all of a sudden that light bulb flips on. It's like, wait,
what so, Jay? When I ask you, there was a dead
air when I said, are you are a romanticist? Excuse me? An
answer that question right a minute. I am. I'm not sure that I
am really defined. Define that word for me. Someone who looks upon things
that are sweet. Whether it's the relationship two people have with each other.
I think that's probably more what we think romance means. But romance can take
shape in lots of sizes and colors and ways. There's something isn't that romantic?
Aren't the two people that work on the farm working together in the field.
Isn't that romantic? To see the two of them out there on tractors?
Take uses me in communication? Yeah? Right, exactly? All right.
Here's another sort of romantic item. This is from California with a couple
getting a lot of feedback one of their bid time habits. This A lady
said, we don't really hear this. This was posted people think this is
interesting, that kind of cute. We don't have a regular side of the
bed, that says Anga Lena Murphy. Last night I was on one side,
and then the night before I was on the other. Side. Oh
that this the reason that I thought we would talk about this, as I
wondered out loud, and maybe we can ask this question on our social media
all of the various handles ad good day networks What side of the bed are
you on when you go to bid viral? Though, I find more interesting
than the post itself the fact that they don't have set side of the bed,
the fact that so many people were like what that this happened to actually
be such a polarizing conversation that either you have your side of the bed,
you pick it and you stick with it right you are at home or on
vacation. Other people are like, it's cool, just get just find us
on sleep. Yeah. I think that is really one of those things that
tells us there isn't much going on in the world. If this gets as
much into this is the focus, or that there's so much heavy stuff that
people are like, we need a break. Can we talk about what side
of the bed you sleep? Yeah? Can we talk about toilet paper next?
When you put when you change? The role is over or is it
under? This point of the program brought to you by Progressive Insurance Insurance for
your motorcycle boats, irvees, you get protection on the road and on the
H two O. See how much you can say. Do you think people
know what H two? Always? Hopefully they have that in science class or
so at this point eight hundred progressive Progressive dot com. So the reason that
I brought up that and the attention that it got is in many circles,
to get more attention than the GOP debate because there was nothing that Sandis didn't
break out, Nobody broke out. And so I just got a note from
someone who said, well, aren't you going to talk about the debate?
What is there to talk about? They all wasted their time talking about Trump.
So he wasn't even there. Yeah, right, they were wasted and
he was with Chucker Carlson on his Yeah, everybody is basically just lying.
First. That was a second fiddle, second seat. Yeah. And then
after that we started this yesterday or maybe the day, but do we started
on Monday, the discussion of the new COVID variant and how ridiculous the attention
is it's being given to this new COVID variant may affect more people than previous
strains. What what previous strains? What are you talking about? What the
last one that didn't affect three people, So this one's affected ten. Affect
a lot of people, but they didn't affect everybody, which was when it
first came out. That was kind of the narrative that if you get this,
you might die well if you have certain health issues. Yeah, maybe
it hits everybody differently, and some people it hits actually differently, even just
the same person. Yeah, very Okay, let's go back to Ohio where
you are instead of talking about the weather. Here's a story about a school
bus accident. Twenty youngsters were hurt and one child was killed. Elementary school
bus. This is in This is down in German Township, which is Remember
I went to school in Ohio, so I kind of know my way around.
I'm trying to remember specifically where this is. I know it's south of
Cleveland if I'm not mistaken, and I don't remember. Not that that's important
to the story, because it really isn't. The bus I was traveling at
the normal rate of speed when it was hit by a minivan and then it
went off the road, rolled over, and there were fifty three youngsters on
the bus. Did they find out what caused that crash? What caused that
minivan. Was it a distracted driver? No, I don't see that there's
anything. The driver was sixty eight. Well, the driver of the bus
was sixty eight. The driver of the car I was thirty five years old
and he went to the hospital as well. Yeah, and this crash has
also led to the conversation of seat belts on butts buses. You used to
drive bus that they used to they used to have seat belts, But what
was it? They weren't usual, they were just yeah, they we used
weapons, especially when it's just a lap belt. That's I think that's been
shown that it doesn't really do much. You need the two points. Another
one of those things that people are going on to because they didn't know a
what the issue was, and they didn't know b how there was no impact
study done, so they just put them in the bus and the kids wouldn't
wear them, and instead they you whacked the other kids on the bus over
the head with the end of the no huh speaking ahead. Well, although
I was the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration took a long hard look at it
because at first, and I forget which administration was in, it may have
gone back as far as the Reagan administration, they said no. And then
when the next when, I think it was when Bill Clinton was president,
that they went they went ahead with this and it didn't work. But it
took four or five years from them to figure that out. And so now
I don't know what the requirement is. It should be up to states to
figure out what they're doing. This is a perfect example of the federal government
blanking things up. I suppose I could be a little more direct effing things
up. You know, the whole discussion you've heard me Jennifer talking about Jennifer
Jay Jay talking about the right to repair law that has been put into effect
in a number of states because voters are overwhelmingly against dealerships having the only ability.
They're the only ones that can fix your car, your truck, your
tractor, whatever it is. And it's proving to be an outrage It's one
of the most outrageous power grabs. Was started by John Deere as a matter
of fact, the tractor manufacturers basically telling farmers that they can't fix their own
tractors. You buy them, you have a problem, And there was some
built in problems and they were almost purposeful. Well, you gotta call the
dealer. And as a matter of fact, perfect example of this, I
bought three or four pieces of excavation excavating equipment for this development that I'm working
on. They're all Caterpillar. There's a Caterpillar D five bulldozer, there's a
three twenty excavator, there's a nine thirty loader. And there was a problem
with the hydraulic lines. The hydraulic system overheating on the excavators are called the
local. Well, this guy has the control. This is this is why
it's a problem. One company controls the distribute, all the distribution and all
the repair rights for Caterpillar in the Northeast, which includes New Jersey, New
York, and New England. So one company, and so I called because
we wanted to have a service rep come and take care of the piece of
equipment. They told me it would be three weeks before somebody came. And
here's a piece of equipment that's costing to own the thing. It's about four
hundred dollars a day. So here's a piece of equipment sitting idle because something's
wrong with it that only they can fix. And I went by Nannis.
As you might imagine, it hasn't. We we figured out. My guys
figured out what was wrong. And so they're gonna come back in three weeks
say well, how did you fix that? And they're going to try to
They're going to try to kill the warranty on it because my guys fixed it
instead of their guys fixing it. This is the And so as a result,
I'm thinking about what happened the law, which was overwhelmingly passed. I
think ninety two percent of people who voted in Massachusetts last year wanted to have
the right to repair law put into force because the Fed said you couldn't.
And the states said, you know what, we're states and states we want
this, and a bunch of other states did the same thing. And then
the Feds said they told the state to ignore the law because it wasn't you
can't do that. The Feds say, we you know, you can't override
a federal law. And so, but people were doing it. I'd do
it, and most people owning cars go to a private shop to figure out
what the problem is. But now this has been turned around sound and the
Feds have said, well, okay, you can do it. The hell,
who are these people to tell you what you can do when you can't
do with your own property, right, I mean, think about it for
a second. How outrageous this is. And I lay it at the feet
of John Dear that has brought back most of its dealerships so that they can
control them themselves. And the reason they said they we couldn't do it originally
because the computers might be it might be easy for criminals to steal data on
computers and take control of cars remotely. Uh huh oh, really that's it.
That's the best you got. So it's great business time for Caldron.

Halle Berry is getting a divorce. She actually married to this guy or
was she just she was and they were declared single back in twenty sixteen.
They were only married for two years. They filed or they split up,
and then the j judge. It's one of those things where they still had
a lot of legal things to figure out, so well, that took so
long for the divorce. The judge at least declared them both legally single at
the end of twenty sixteen, and now they have finally finally finalized the divorce.
So we'll talk about how much money she has to pay to him.
As we entered it is kind of it really is, but all right,
so halle Berry, as Jay said, is officially, well officially, but
she's divorced from this guy, Oliver Martinez. They have a child, a
son named Massio, who's nine. The custody agreement calls for her to pay
Martinez nine eight grand a month in child support plus four point four Yeah,
right, listen to this, four point three percent of any income she gets
above two million dollars a year. She also has to pay for her son's
private school tuition, uniforms, all supplies as an extra curriculous stuff. She
also has agreed to pay mister Martinez back for any of the costs from this
past school year. This, I don't know child support. When you are
already going to be paying for everything that supports this child, plus paying additional
child support, what does that many go towards? Or is it? It's
called abuse, That's what it's called. It's abuse. And so she's got
another child, a daughter named Nala, who's now fifteen. But she didn't
get married to the guy who's the father. So anyway, I mean,
you look at this stuff and you think, okay, there are a lot
of influences. She has a great life, and she says that she's feeling
happy in her life romantically, she's happy as a mother, happy as an
artist, and basically right between the lines, it looks like, you know
what, it's only money and I'm not whatever they were fussing. Why has
it taken them though so long? Were they fighting about the money? Why
is it taking it so long to get settled this divorce? I don't know.
I'm assuming part of the custody agreement was in hand. That's usually what
seems to take so long with everything. But normally judges give custody to the
mother. Did she not ask for custody or did she not qualify because of
something that we don't Is that still true today? I don't know that was
true today. I thought that judges want to try to keep the families together
in the sense of joint custody. Yeah, well you may be right about
that. I get. The thing that startled me here is I look through
the numbers, were in fact the numbers and how it all puts together.
So anyway, hopefully the children are okay, because that would seem to be
you'd think that'd be the most important thing they'd be concerned about. The neck
