1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:04,320 The next Stefan Good Day download with Doug and Jay Kirshner is made possible in 2 00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:08,000 part by Caldron, which is the safe way for you to lose weight and 3 00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:12,800 keep it off. That's all. Be grateful for the blessings that we have. 4 00:00:13,279 --> 00:00:16,719 This is a good damn grateful because I have Jay. She's a blessing. 5 00:00:17,519 --> 00:00:22,359 James Collins is a blessing most of the time. So it's awesome to 6 00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:27,239 be here in this sort of customized world, being able to talk about what's 7 00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:32,039 going on in the world with some degree of relevance and experience. And there's 8 00:00:32,079 --> 00:00:35,159 probably nothing else that we talked about more this week of interested to see on 9 00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:38,840 Friday what the number one story of the week is. It's got to be 10 00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:42,119 pretty dog on. Close to the eclipse. Yeah, when you think about 11 00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:48,920 all the attention that has been this total solar eclipse exercise that cut across our 12 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:53,399 country, there was an unexpected. I think that would be the word I'd 13 00:00:53,439 --> 00:00:57,799 use. I've asked you to come up with a word at our social media 14 00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:03,719 sites, a good Day networks the word that I would use in part I've 15 00:01:03,719 --> 00:01:07,640 got a couple of them, but unexpected is a word that we could apply 16 00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:15,359 and it led to among another thing good business for the radio world, because 17 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:22,280 the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration bought a lot of advertising urging drivers to take 18 00:01:22,359 --> 00:01:26,920 care during the eclipse. There were lots of extra drivers. I think somebody 19 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:30,920 said that the in terms of the of the millions of people who are out 20 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:36,480 watching it. Many people were on the road driving and looking they're driving. 21 00:01:36,519 --> 00:01:38,079 This is how dumb some people are. They're driving. Well, hey, 22 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:42,840 Millie, look out there, and they're driving sixty miles and look at the 23 00:01:42,159 --> 00:01:46,200 Yeah, no, you pull off to the side of the road. But 24 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:49,840 that was also one of them minute which you wouldn't be able to see that 25 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:53,799 they couldn't be able to drive class Yeah, exactly. And if you did 26 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:57,599 suffer some like some kind of damage to your eye by looking at the sun 27 00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,560 directly instead of the glasses, you may not even know for a couple of 28 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:04,480 days. Yeah right, that's right. It burns the retina and you wouldn't 29 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,519 that's nothing. You don't want to play with that. So there were lots 30 00:02:07,519 --> 00:02:13,400 of celebrations though that was people traveling. Yep, there were some folks. 31 00:02:13,759 --> 00:02:16,719 We were talking about this too. The airplanes couldn't keep up with it, 32 00:02:16,879 --> 00:02:22,159 you were saying, when we got the description from James as to what it 33 00:02:22,199 --> 00:02:25,280 was like in Dallas where he was, and then you are north of James 34 00:02:25,319 --> 00:02:30,960 about twelve hundred miles in Cleveland. And yet it only took fifteen twenty minutes 35 00:02:31,479 --> 00:02:36,759 for the path to get to you after it was done in Dallas and Texas. 36 00:02:36,879 --> 00:02:40,080 Yes, Dallas has totality. I believe it started around forty two or 37 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:46,159 something like that. And then and then in Cleveland totality and that was Central 38 00:02:46,199 --> 00:02:53,000 time, and then totality started about three fourteen eastern four minutes and twenty eight 39 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:58,520 seconds. As it went along. It actually entered Texas round one thirty one 40 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:00,759 Central time, and then it get up to you. What'd you say, 41 00:03:00,759 --> 00:03:05,280 one forty one? Is that one forty five there, James? One one 42 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,280 to one forty five around that area. Yeah, so once it came into 43 00:03:08,319 --> 00:03:12,599 Texas, it took eleven twelve minutes for it to get up to where you 44 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,159 are, and then only, as Jay was saying, like less than a 45 00:03:15,159 --> 00:03:21,000 half an hour to get to where she was. And the fans that took 46 00:03:21,039 --> 00:03:25,680 the day off from work, the people who just got all charged up about 47 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:30,919 this. It is a phenomenon and it does kind of give you something to 48 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:38,840 think about twenty five hundred miles across our country. Actually from Mexico to Canada, 49 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:43,080 it was about twenty six hundred and forty miles. The experience, the 50 00:03:43,199 --> 00:03:46,520 sensory experience of what you see, but there was you could hear it kind 51 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:52,759 of you know, if everything was silent, there was something about the movement 52 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:57,800 that created noise. I'm not sure what helped to create the noise, but 53 00:03:59,639 --> 00:04:03,159 this is the whole thing. Is the experience, very cool, great thing 54 00:04:03,199 --> 00:04:09,919 to talk about. The one thing that I hope that didn't happen was that 55 00:04:10,039 --> 00:04:14,879 the watching the eclipse damaged your eyes. If in fact, let's dig around 56 00:04:14,879 --> 00:04:18,079 in this for a minute, because this is something this is post eclips and 57 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:23,160 if you were silly enough to look at the at the event and you didn't 58 00:04:23,199 --> 00:04:28,399 have the proper eye tool, if you will, there are a number of 59 00:04:28,439 --> 00:04:33,680 telltale signs that you will get. If you looked at the solar eclipse and 60 00:04:33,879 --> 00:04:40,120 didn't have the proper glasses on, you'll probably have some kind of eye damage, 61 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:45,439 or you're certainly you will. You've enabled yourself looking at the sun without 62 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:50,920 any glasses is damaging, can be very serious when it comes to the retina 63 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:56,519 your vision in general. There were all kinds of announcements also in the last 64 00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:01,600 week or so from the American Academy of Ophthalmology and as well. Looking at 65 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:10,439 the sky and at the eclipse was something that so many people did, and 66 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:15,360 the damage that was done to your vision if you didn't protect your eyes is 67 00:05:15,399 --> 00:05:18,160 something that you may not be able to recover from, so hopefully, hopefully, 68 00:05:18,199 --> 00:05:25,279 hopefully, And if you don't know what the signs are your eye, 69 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:30,560 you'll be uncomfortable. If you use drops in your eyes, sometimes that can 70 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,360 if there's just a little bit of damage, sometimes that helps. But the 71 00:05:33,399 --> 00:05:39,720 retina is the retina doesn't have any pain nerves. You'll be able to tell 72 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:43,199 because you can't see right, but it won't hurt. Yeah, you may 73 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,560 want to look for blurred vision, maybe you've got a headache, you may 74 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:50,959 have sensitivity to light, may be like a blind spot in the middle. 75 00:05:51,079 --> 00:06:00,399 Yeah right, yeah, exactly. So anyway, it's just one of those 76 00:06:00,399 --> 00:06:05,040 things you gotta be careful about it. Here's a crazy story about this woman 77 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:13,720 who shot was shooting drivers in Florida. God told her because of the eclipse. 78 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:18,360 So she said, all right, she was God directed to shoot. 79 00:06:19,079 --> 00:06:24,600 This was on Interstate ten, which starts since Saint Augustine, goes across the 80 00:06:24,639 --> 00:06:30,000 top of Florida and all across the country ends actually about two blocks from my 81 00:06:30,079 --> 00:06:35,399 house in Santa Monica at the end of Interstate ten. They weren't as crazy 82 00:06:35,439 --> 00:06:38,600 at the end as they were at the being, or at least this woman, 83 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:46,839 her name was Teylon Celestine. She was from Georgia. She was one 84 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:53,879 hundred and fifteen miles from the Alabama border in the Florida Panhandle, heading west 85 00:06:54,639 --> 00:07:00,800 as she fired into a passing car several times, grazed in the arm. 86 00:07:00,399 --> 00:07:05,319 She fired at the second car, hitting the driver in the neck. Troopers 87 00:07:05,319 --> 00:07:12,759 stopped her. She had an AR fifteen, She had an automatic rifle and 88 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:17,360 a nine millimeter handgun. So she got arrested and was booked into the Cowdy 89 00:07:17,439 --> 00:07:19,839 Jail. But again, was this put woman's out of her mind? What 90 00:07:19,879 --> 00:07:25,839 she doing with a gun? How did she well? And she told hotel 91 00:07:25,959 --> 00:07:30,839 staff on her way out what she was doing, and so they called authorities. 92 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:33,079 And the question is was this pre meditated? Did she know she was 93 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:38,160 going to do this ahead of time? Or did she did something happen and 94 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,800 she did this. It just was kind of spontaneous. That will be interesting 95 00:07:41,839 --> 00:07:45,480 to find out. Definitely a mental health crisis, but also wondering if there 96 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,519 were some drugs involved too. And again it was this premeditated or not. 97 00:07:49,439 --> 00:07:55,839 Yeah, crazy people And this kind of stuff is like Luna. Do you 98 00:07:55,959 --> 00:08:01,639 hear you know the word lunatic It comes from the the Spanish word for luna 99 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:09,199 for the moon is luna luna. And so it does do things, at 100 00:08:09,319 --> 00:08:13,319 least it seems to have an impact on people. Right the moon. It 101 00:08:13,399 --> 00:08:20,759 does the gravity of the moon, the place the moon has in our world. 102 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:24,600 It does seem to bring out, you know, howling at the moon 103 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:28,680 like the wolves do. Oh you are the end of all the Dick Wolf 104 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:35,879 shows on TV, all along Order shows and the FBI shows. It's created 105 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:43,720 Chicago shows by Wolf Wolf Films. And there's the picture of the wolf and 106 00:08:43,039 --> 00:08:50,480 oh at the end of it. So crazy stuff. So now people are 107 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:54,960 wondering when the next totally clips will be. Right if you missed out this 108 00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:00,399 because you weren't in the path of it, the folks at NASA have come 109 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:05,720 back with the next exciting opportunity because the eclipses unique. It is it's exciting 110 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:11,919 throw a spectacular natural phenomenon that you can see. You know, with the 111 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:13,759 naked eye, you can see a lot of things. You've got a good 112 00:09:13,759 --> 00:09:18,000 telescope, or you look at some of the pictures on the NASA website from 113 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:24,879 the web telescope. But thirty one million people were able to experience this thing 114 00:09:24,919 --> 00:09:30,639 one hundred and fifteen hundred and twenty mile path for the day. So the 115 00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:35,360 next solar eclipse to occur in our country will be August twenty third, twenty 116 00:09:35,519 --> 00:09:43,039 forty four, and it's only going to be in three states, Montana, 117 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:48,279 and the Dakotas. That's it. NASA says. It'll go up across British 118 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:54,600 Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and then let's see after that. The next 119 00:09:54,639 --> 00:10:01,679 year, August the twelve, twenty forty five, the eclipse will span coast 120 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:07,679 to coast, covering California, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, 121 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:11,440 Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas, Arkansas, Missouri, Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, 122 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:16,919 Florida, and Georgia. So you get that. People will then ask 123 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:20,639 also, well, why doesn't it have the same path all the time? 124 00:10:20,639 --> 00:10:24,000 Why is it different doesn't the moon go around the Earth the same way. 125 00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:28,759 No, look at the follow the moon from when it is. You know, 126 00:10:28,879 --> 00:10:33,720 when you see the new moon and you see the full moon, it's 127 00:10:33,759 --> 00:10:37,440 in different places in the sky depending on where we are in the year at 128 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:39,960 the time. You don't see the moon even though it's a full moon. 129 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,200 It's not a new moon. You just don't see the moon because it's below 130 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,200 the horizon. Or some days it's daytime and you look up in the sky 131 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:48,960 and you see the moon. Yeah, right, So anyway, but that's 132 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:52,799 something I was again, I don't know, I found that I got to 133 00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:58,519 find the headline again from the last experience A lot of people in twenty seventeen 134 00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:03,279 experience and it was, you know, animals were affected for sure by all 135 00:11:03,279 --> 00:11:07,480 of this stuff. So anyway, enough more, enough, but it's fun 136 00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:13,960 to talk about it, it really is, all right. So we have 137 00:11:13,159 --> 00:11:20,000 our usual spot here in this hour for social media gossip, kind of celebrity 138 00:11:20,039 --> 00:11:24,039 news. What's trending? A couple of names on the trending list here we 139 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:28,519 are to pay attention to, starting with Beyonce. I guess this portion, 140 00:11:28,639 --> 00:11:35,840 this particular segment is about country artists and most of the time. When you 141 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:39,799 think of Beyonce, I don't think of her as a country star. But 142 00:11:39,879 --> 00:11:48,720 she's number one on the Billboard Country album list. She's won Grammys before. 143 00:11:48,879 --> 00:11:52,759 Was hearly enough for this stuff? But on the hot first for a yeah, 144 00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:56,519 into country. She on her Lemonade album, she had a collaboration with 145 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:03,679 Checks the Checks formerly known as Chicks Daddy Lessons. That was a country a 146 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:07,799 country song, and she has a Texas girl. She grew up on country. 147 00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:11,840 So it's not when you really think about it, it's not the white 148 00:12:11,919 --> 00:12:16,000 people make so much of a big deal. Well hasn't gone into country yet. 149 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:20,440 And the big deal is that she's the first black woman to hit number 150 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:24,120 one on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart. See, I think that's that's 151 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:28,200 outrageous. I'd be offended if somebody put it that rate. Take it so 152 00:12:28,279 --> 00:12:33,159 long, Yeah, the first black woman. The fact that she's done is 153 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:41,600 she has with let's see Willie Nelson, Dolly parton Stevie Wonder has been Is 154 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:46,840 Stevie Wonder on this album or is it I'm looking at some of the names 155 00:12:46,879 --> 00:12:52,360 of people who are on the album. Yes, some people included on the 156 00:12:52,399 --> 00:12:56,799 album. She has a little bit like of a collaborations and things not unlike 157 00:12:56,799 --> 00:13:00,000 what Dolly Parton is doing with her rock album in a way, Yeah, 158 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:05,240 yeah, yeah, so good. It's good to spread things around. I 159 00:13:05,279 --> 00:13:07,159 think the Chicks, the Dixie Chicks refers to country group, and then they 160 00:13:07,159 --> 00:13:11,639 became sort of an m not an mor but they became a pop group, 161 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:15,480 right, didn't. They sort of changed their stripe ay down the road. 162 00:13:15,879 --> 00:13:18,440 I'm not sure of it considered that. No. I always think yeah, 163 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:24,080 I always thought of them as as country. But they did get canceled once 164 00:13:24,159 --> 00:13:26,120 upon a time. They changed. Yeah, they got sort of they got 165 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:31,840 canceled because of their strong political points of view. One of them said Bush 166 00:13:31,919 --> 00:13:37,519 yeah, yeah, right, So then they came back around and changed their 167 00:13:37,879 --> 00:13:41,320 They kind of changed the actively, if you will. All right, So 168 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:46,759 that's country group where country had a number one. Number two in the country 169 00:13:46,799 --> 00:13:50,080 news department is singer Morgan Wallen, who's back in the in the Spotlight, 170 00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:56,039 who was arrested in Nashville charged with three counts of three different felonies. This 171 00:13:56,159 --> 00:14:00,480 guy's got to be a little bit loose, and his screw have got to 172 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,120 be a little loose because he kind of keeps he's got a drinking problem. 173 00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:09,360 That's obvious. And so he's in front of a bar. A couple of 174 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:13,720 police officers were there and watched the ch on the balcony. This was Eric 175 00:14:13,799 --> 00:14:16,639 Church's new bar. And Eric Church is somebody who when he was going through 176 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:20,840 a lot of these issues and essentially he wasn't he was never canceled, but 177 00:14:20,879 --> 00:14:24,480 he was putting a halfty time out. Eric Church took him under his wing 178 00:14:24,039 --> 00:14:28,480 and it became kind of like tried to be a good influence in his life. 179 00:14:28,519 --> 00:14:31,879 And for Morgan Walling to be on the balcony inside his bar throwing a 180 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:37,639 chair over onto Broadway is just I mean, it's disrespectful and wrong on any 181 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:39,759 level. But for that to have been at Eric Church's bar, which just 182 00:14:39,879 --> 00:14:43,480 opened, they had the grand opening over the weekend, that's absurd. Like 183 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:50,000 he needs he needs some serious help, yeap. And they've been pandering to 184 00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:54,120 him, whether it's Eric Church or others. And he had a problem. 185 00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,519 Was it last year or the year before? How long ago was it when 186 00:14:56,559 --> 00:15:01,240 he became Oh he got into issues. Yeah, he was caught on a 187 00:15:01,399 --> 00:15:07,759 camera saying derogatory word. He was the one that got in trouble with sn 188 00:15:07,879 --> 00:15:11,799 L during the shutdown of the pandemic, excusing the N word that kind of 189 00:15:11,799 --> 00:15:16,679 stuff. Yeah, yeah, I think guys, you know whether is is 190 00:15:16,679 --> 00:15:22,519 he a publicity hound or is he just kind of maybe he can't handle success, 191 00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:26,720 maybe he can't handle celebrity. That may be one of the things that 192 00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:31,320 is part of whatever's going on with it. Anyway, not a good day 193 00:15:31,399 --> 00:15:35,519 or a good time for Morgan Wallen or the fans, So it's great business 194 00:15:35,559 --> 00:15:37,200 time for Caldron. I would think the phones would be ringing off the hook 195 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:41,480 and people would be ordering nauseum. That's right. You know.

Let's 208 00:16:33,679 --> 00:16:40,440 go to the did you know and do you care? Facfile Delnane Did you 209 00:16:40,519 --> 00:16:48,200 know? Then? On August twenty sixth, nineteen twenty, Secretary of Secretary 210 00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:56,159 of State Bainbridge Colby certified the nineteenth Amendment to the Constitution, which would be 211 00:16:56,240 --> 00:17:02,240 giving the women in our country the right to vote, which so many people 212 00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:07,519 still rew the day. Yeah, I know women up at e as they 213 00:17:07,559 --> 00:17:12,680 are. Yeah, yeah, I'm going to ask a lot of the guys 214 00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:19,160 who are becoming fathers this year. So this was a big battle and the 215 00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:23,640 reason that I pay attention to it a number of reasons that the you know, 216 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:30,920 one of the suffragettes was a lady who was the mother of my second 217 00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:36,039 father, Louise Parker Mayo lived here in Framingham, Massachusetts, in a house 218 00:17:36,079 --> 00:17:40,480 that eventually I lived in for eight years of my life when I was married. 219 00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:44,799 But I grew up in that house because the mother of the well, 220 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:48,559 the people that were there were my second family, and so this is something 221 00:17:48,599 --> 00:17:55,880 that is close to me. But that's not really the story. The women's 222 00:17:55,920 --> 00:18:03,920 suffrage was changing in the States gradually, begrudgingly gave women the right to vote, 223 00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:08,759 and so if you look back across the history of this, it was 224 00:18:08,799 --> 00:18:14,720 about a ten or twelve year process. The first state to give women the 225 00:18:14,799 --> 00:18:22,119 unrestricted right to vote was Montana in nineteen fourteen. And then a lady who 226 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:27,079 was a vocal suffragette. I guess suffragette. How would you what would be 227 00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:33,480 the word suffragiste? Je suffragist? Yeah, I guess. She ran for 228 00:18:33,599 --> 00:18:38,119 the House and won a seat in the House, which is a pretty interesting 229 00:18:38,279 --> 00:18:42,920 thing given the fact that it hadn't. Her name was Jeannette Rankin. She 230 00:18:44,039 --> 00:18:49,359 was the first woman congressman before women had the right to vote nationally. I 231 00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:56,480 think this is kind of cool, actually pretty appropriate for a woman at that 232 00:18:56,640 --> 00:19:00,880 time, first woman ever elected to Congress. That it happened before most of 233 00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:04,680 the women in this country had the right to vote. So, but Montana 234 00:19:06,079 --> 00:19:10,759 has always been kind of a quietly progressive state. I've only been in Montana 235 00:19:10,759 --> 00:19:15,279 a couple of times. They call it a great sky country. Big no 236 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:21,519 big sky, it's big sky country. Beautiful driving across that state. Anyway, 237 00:19:22,039 --> 00:19:27,599 she went into the Senate in let's see here nineteen seventeen. There was 238 00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:33,279 a debate about whether it was appropriate for a woman. This is in the 239 00:19:33,319 --> 00:19:37,759 House of the US House House of Representatives. The men in there had a 240 00:19:37,799 --> 00:19:44,079 debate after she was elected for months as to whether it was appropriate to let 241 00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:48,680 her come, to let her be there. Imagine how long we've come, 242 00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:53,799 how far we've come, and this last what one hundred years? Huh? 243 00:19:55,599 --> 00:20:00,279 So now twenty eight percent of the members of Congress are women. I thought 244 00:20:00,319 --> 00:20:08,240 that was kind of an interesting revelation. Yeah. Anyway, let's see here, 245 00:20:08,279 --> 00:20:15,519 people cashing out of Donald Trump's stock. They only but it's gone up 246 00:20:15,559 --> 00:20:19,319 and down in sideways. It's been kind of an interesting ride so far. 247 00:20:21,839 --> 00:20:26,519 There have been a number of sales, some people cashing out making thirty five 248 00:20:26,519 --> 00:20:32,000 percent of their money depending on when they sold it. Some people losing money 249 00:20:32,039 --> 00:20:34,559 because that's the way the stock market works, you know, and so you 250 00:20:34,559 --> 00:20:38,440 shouldn't be there. It's interesting, though, how much attention that stock got 251 00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:41,480 for the right reason and the wrong reason. You know, that's the way 252 00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:45,240 people are. Some of it's good, some of it's not. Speaking of 253 00:20:45,319 --> 00:20:51,000 up and down, Uber and Lyft I use. I used to use Uber 254 00:20:51,559 --> 00:20:55,359 not a lot, but I use Lyft a lot now because I think they're 255 00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:59,480 better than Uber and they seem to serve me better. I don't use them 256 00:20:59,519 --> 00:21:03,039 around here, use them in Los Angeles pretty much when I'm going back and 257 00:21:03,039 --> 00:21:08,160 forth to the airport and things like that. So the concern in Minneapolis over 258 00:21:08,319 --> 00:21:17,359 a vote in the city council to require that Uber and Lift pay drivers a 259 00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:22,799 higher rate while they're within the city limits. So Uber and lyft both responded 260 00:21:22,839 --> 00:21:26,559 by saying, okay, you can require that, but we're just not going 261 00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:32,279 to serve Minneapolis anymore. We're done. The ordinance takes place the first of 262 00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:36,920 next month, so now the city is wondering whether it did the right thing 263 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:41,079 or not. The state also could take some action and say that the city 264 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:48,440 ordinance it doesn't work, doesn't you know you can't do that. So if 265 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:51,519 you are out there and you're wondering whether you're gonna use Uber and lyft, 266 00:21:51,559 --> 00:21:56,559 I would make I would make other plans on May first unless uh the uh 267 00:21:56,119 --> 00:22:00,759 you know, they pushed this through and the mayor vetoed it and then the 268 00:22:00,759 --> 00:22:06,640 city council overrode the vedo. So they want to pay the drivers at buck 269 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:11,480 forty a mile excuse me, fifty one cents a minute five dollars a ride, 270 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:17,240 whichever is greater, excluding tips. I don't know how their formula works, 271 00:22:17,599 --> 00:22:21,880 but it basically they wanted to. They want these drivers to be paid 272 00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:25,440 with the city's minimum wages is fifteen to fifty seven an hour, which makes 273 00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:29,480 sense. I mean, it makes us to get them paid, and also 274 00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:30,160 makes sense for them to say, you know what, then we're just not 275 00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:33,079 going to do what We're not going to offer it here. But okay, 276 00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:36,119 so take a taxi again, Like let's just tak it back to the old 277 00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:40,960 days, back to the taxis. Yep, that's pretty much what the bottom 278 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:45,160 line is here. And this is, by the way, pretty typical of 279 00:22:45,279 --> 00:22:48,960 most cities. The uber drivers that I use say that I am the typical 280 00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:56,559 rider in Los Angeles. That is that almost forty percent of their rides are 281 00:22:56,599 --> 00:23:00,799 from various locations in Los Angeles County to the airport, which I find very 282 00:23:00,799 --> 00:23:04,880 interesting, and that's about the same thing. It's not quite that percentage, 283 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:11,960 but there were millions of people every year that use uber and lyft to get 284 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:15,720 to the airport, and so this would be you know, okay, it's 285 00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:18,359 good for the taxis, and maybe that's the way to look at it. 286 00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:22,160 Maybe that's the way this thing shakes out. You know, Uber and Lyft 287 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:25,960 have been around, what ten years or so? How long have they been 288 00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:32,279 around? Trying to remember when I first found out, Well, they were 289 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:36,240 very prominent. I mean you were probably using them in LA before everybody else 290 00:23:36,279 --> 00:23:40,400 sat it. I was using it in LA before. And I remember coming 291 00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:42,000 back home to Cleveland once upon a time and I was like, wait, 292 00:23:42,039 --> 00:23:45,640 I can't get an Uber here. That's right, it's only here. So 293 00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:49,079 it's only like a really big cities before it became more readily available. Right 294 00:23:51,039 --> 00:23:55,160 the city of Austin, Texas threw them out in twenty sixteen or they just 295 00:23:55,240 --> 00:24:00,559 quit because of a finger print based background checks the drivers. Now, see, 296 00:24:00,559 --> 00:24:03,319 I don't see anything wrong with that. I think you need to know 297 00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:06,920 who these drivers. And since that time it has been pretty much been more 298 00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:11,359 stringent right as to how getting into a stranger's personal vehicle. Yeah right, 299 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:15,440 background, right, yeah, yeah, so it'd be interesting to see where 300 00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:22,160 that goes. All right. The folks at NASA are preparing to launch a 301 00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:32,279 gas station, huh. Scientists working for NASA are putting together plans to put 302 00:24:32,279 --> 00:24:38,680 a gas well, basically get fuel station into space to provide a refueling opportunity 303 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:45,480 for ships that need to be refueled on missions to the Moon. This is 304 00:24:45,519 --> 00:24:49,319 a company in San Antonio, Texas working with NASA building and testing a small 305 00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:56,119 demonstration spacecraft. At the moment, it's a twenty five million dollar space mobility 306 00:24:56,160 --> 00:25:03,960 and logistics project funded by US and NASA. We want to The idea behind 307 00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:11,599 this is to preserve our space superiority. So the prime contractor is building a 308 00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:18,799 spacecraft called the Astroscale Prototype Servicer for refueling. Okay, I love these names, 309 00:25:18,839 --> 00:25:22,559 don't you. And they it is not. It doesn't have gasoline. 310 00:25:22,799 --> 00:25:29,799 It has a propellant that you used obviously for spacecraft. And if this spacecraft 311 00:25:29,799 --> 00:25:33,039 happens to be, you know, out there charging around and running low on 312 00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:37,359 fuel, pulls up to the station, right, the guy puts on his 313 00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:40,799 uniform, gets out and fills up the I'm not sure that's how it works. 314 00:25:40,839 --> 00:25:45,440 I'm just being paid. Yeah, right, exactly. Can I change 315 00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:52,519 your oil buddy anyway. So, actually, what they're doing with this stuff 316 00:25:52,559 --> 00:25:56,720 is to get using some sort of re using some of the stuff that's already 317 00:25:56,720 --> 00:26:02,680 out there in orbit, some of the spacecraft that's out there, and it'll 318 00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:04,960 be I think it's a good idea. Actually, somebody's pretty great. Why 319 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:10,240 didn't somebody think about this before, I guess is the question. So it's 320 00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:15,960 gonna take them. They figure about sixteen months to make this thing and it'll 321 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:18,519 be launched. And thing only weighs four hundred and thirty seven pounds, which 322 00:26:18,559 --> 00:26:23,160 I find very interesting. I would not expect that. Yeah, no, 323 00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:33,920 I wouldn't either. No kind of interesting. Okay, the couple of things 324 00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:37,880 that are kind of interesting and that they don't end well as a result of 325 00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:44,200 the eclipse. Some guy actually this was a doctor who was on his way 326 00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:48,440 to see the solar eclipse. He was in somebody who's driving the vehicle in 327 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:53,480 front. He was in one of those airstream. Oh, the pediatrician. 328 00:26:53,599 --> 00:26:56,440 Guess she was in her Yeah, she was in her family's airstream and the 329 00:26:56,599 --> 00:27:00,440 door came open, so she was trying to get it shut. She was 330 00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:03,880 thrown from the airstream. Yeah yeah. Her husband was driving the pickup truck 331 00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:07,119 that it was carrying the airstream and they were on their way to see the 332 00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:15,160 solar eclipse. And here's another story about an elderly American killed. This is 333 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:22,519 a tourist in Zambia who was killed in an elephant attack. This is a 334 00:27:22,599 --> 00:27:29,039 fellow. This was an aggressive bull elephant actually attacked the vehicle. It was 335 00:27:29,079 --> 00:27:34,279 on a game drive Safari, and so this is I don't know, I 336 00:27:34,279 --> 00:27:38,079 haven't seen something like this happened for quite a long time. The bull elephant 337 00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:44,079 charging the vehicle. There were six people in it. They were just on 338 00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:48,039 a normal game drive. They do these things every day of Safari. Woman 339 00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:53,799 eighty years old was injured and then she later died. Four other people were 340 00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:57,039 hurt in this thing. So it is dangerous when you go out on these 341 00:27:57,079 --> 00:28:00,720 things. You never know what you're going to do. Who died. This 342 00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:03,799 was her last big thing that she wanted to do before in life. Yeah 343 00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:11,000 right, well she did it and then she died. I guess maybe that's 344 00:28:11,039 --> 00:28:14,240 not the warmest way of looking at it, but I mean, think about 345 00:28:14,279 --> 00:28:17,279 the bull elephant lifted up. This is a Safari truck and just threw it 346 00:28:17,319 --> 00:28:22,039 around and it's good. Trunk picked it up and dropped it. Why is 347 00:28:22,039 --> 00:28:26,880 it the older we get, it feels like a good quality sleep becomes harder 348 00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:30,680 and harder to come by. It just becomes more difficult to get that well 349 00:28:30,799 --> 00:28:33,160 rested look when you wake up in the morning because you're not really feeling well 350 00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:37,599 rusted. My pillow can change that. As somebody who suffers from chronic illness, 351 00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:42,079 sleep and quality sleep is really hard to come by. But here's the 352 00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:47,920 thing. My pillow is probably one of my favorite items in my home. 353 00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:52,960 I love my pellows pillow. It is one of those things where I can 354 00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:56,240 change the shape of it to really create on my neck if that's what I'm 355 00:28:56,279 --> 00:29:00,279 needing. The mypellow pillow is just so incredible. But that's not all they 356 00:29:00,279 --> 00:29:03,559 are known for.

I have the first 362 00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:30,200 interesting story here. Social media, the technology of social media. You can 363 00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:33,839 always reach us with the various questions and pull questions, the things that we 364 00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:38,519 ask you respond on all our social media at good Day Networks. Now, 365 00:29:38,519 --> 00:29:44,240 here's a group of lawmakers and this is one in a million, right, 366 00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:53,799 bipartisanshipy there's new legislation yep that would set the first ever national standard for data 367 00:29:53,960 --> 00:30:00,319 privacy. This is certainly as most of us here in America are concerned about 368 00:30:00,359 --> 00:30:07,200 the way social media platforms and other companies are using the information they glean from 369 00:30:07,279 --> 00:30:10,440 us. The cookies. You know, you have to sign and accept all 370 00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:14,079 that stuff you want to use the site, which is like signing your life 371 00:30:14,119 --> 00:30:17,720 away. It's pretty damned outrageous, frankly that they can get away with that. 372 00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:22,640 Maybe this bill will change that how social media companies, online search engines 373 00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:30,799 use your data so you can have more control. That's what the American Privacy 374 00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:36,160 Rights Act is all about. It sets standards for how the companies like Meta 375 00:30:36,559 --> 00:30:41,079 TikTok, God damn excuse me those I'm so sick of reading about them. 376 00:30:41,119 --> 00:30:45,400 And what they're all about. All right, anyway, all use the same 377 00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:51,960 practices, They all use the same the same technology to gather data. They 378 00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:56,039 all use it the exact same They violate your privacy, that's what they do. 379 00:30:56,799 --> 00:31:00,119 And you allow them to do that. They're telling you that that that's 380 00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:03,640 what they're going to do. When you accept that they're saying we use cookies, 381 00:31:04,079 --> 00:31:10,079 that means that they're going to be spying on you in essence. So 382 00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:14,079 anyway, this bill comes from the chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee, Maria 383 00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:18,400 Cantwell of Washington, and the chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, 384 00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:25,279 a fellow named Morris. I think mc morris Rodgers. He's from repub they're 385 00:31:25,279 --> 00:31:27,799 both Republicans. I mean they're both from Washington's Republican and the other's Democrat. 386 00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:34,759 First significant step toward the regulating of data privacy. This is something that we 387 00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:41,000 all should be concerned about. We all deserve the right to control our data. 388 00:31:41,759 --> 00:31:47,359 And hopefully the House and the Senate will see this and they'll report it 389 00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:52,200 out. There's a study jay from the Pew Research Center found that seventy seven 390 00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:56,640 percent of Americans don't have any trust in the leaders of social media companies. 391 00:31:56,680 --> 00:32:01,359 I'm surprised it's that small. I would say that none of them are trustworthy, 392 00:32:01,359 --> 00:32:06,480 and there should be hundred percent people in this country that don't trust him. 393 00:32:07,079 --> 00:32:08,880 But the younger people are oblivious to all of this. Really, and 394 00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:15,640 I say that without hesitation, this is an age thing among many other education 395 00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:20,440 but an age thing. Younger kids that are all over TikTok. They don't 396 00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:22,359 know. They don't give it damn about the Chinese governments buying on them. 397 00:32:22,559 --> 00:32:27,160 They just oh, this is fun, let's do more of this. So 398 00:32:27,319 --> 00:32:31,519 anyway, all right, here's the story of a judge in Buffalo allowing the 399 00:32:31,599 --> 00:32:38,160 lawsuit against YouTube and redditch. Going back to twenty twenty two, the top 400 00:32:38,279 --> 00:32:45,839 supermarket shooting in Buffalo. There's a lawsuit moving forward filed by survivors. It's 401 00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:50,160 kind of like the Alex Jones thing that was the same kind of a trial. 402 00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:53,799 The survivors of the shooting. Family member of a victim claims that the 403 00:32:53,839 --> 00:32:59,680 two social media were instrumental in preparing the shooter to commit his crime. His 404 00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:05,839 attack. Ten people were killed, all of them black, in what was 405 00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:10,720 described as a racially motivated mass shooting at a supermarket in Buffalo shook. I 406 00:33:10,759 --> 00:33:15,359 remember how wow, you know, the white supremacist involved in this thing. 407 00:33:16,519 --> 00:33:23,720 The shooters planned to attack the supermarket. He said that he was he's anti 408 00:33:23,759 --> 00:33:30,440 Semitic, basically a radical racist. And that's and all that stuff was cultivated 409 00:33:30,519 --> 00:33:37,039 he said on the internet. Yeah, so the dangerous, you know, 410 00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:43,960 choices that he made were because he was addicted to the social media places and 411 00:33:44,279 --> 00:33:49,319 watch Yeah, the algrarithms helped radicalize the shooter. Yeah, so let's see 412 00:33:49,319 --> 00:33:52,519 how that lawsuit shakes. That would be interesting to watch that.
