The next Different Good Day download with Doug and Jay Kirshner is made possible in
part by caltrin, which is the safe way for you to lose weight and
keep it off. I'm trying to figure out why it is that so many
people are obsessed and why so many people are talking about Kate Middleton's Mother's Day.
I'm glad you asked, Doug, because what is this? I asked.
I asked the same question. I did add dive over the weekend because
Sunday was Mother's Day across the pond, and she posts a photo and I
of course went through to see what comments were because you know, you always
have some people saying different things, and I kind of there's been a lot
of secrecy around her hospital's day, her procedure, her recovery, when the
public I would see her again, all of this stuff, and to an
extent, the Royal family has, you know, kept things close, and
to another extent, they've been very open about other things. And when somebody's
in a public eye. We already saw this with Jamie Fox where he was
hospitalized in critical condition and nobody knew exactly why, and he said that he
will announce it when his time is right and people who are in the public
eye don't owe an explanation to anybody. However, people do still want to
know. So with this photo that she posted, there were so many different
which I only noticed one, but I I started googling what was up with
Prince Louis's fingers because he had the middle finger crossed over the right finger,
and I'm like, is that like a sign for something? Like? What
does that mean? Is that him being goofy? Because sometimes he's done different
things, and so I was trying to figure out what that meant when I
fell down the rabbit hole of all the other different things. And originally before
before Kensington put out an additional tweet on x saying that hey, allegedly she
had said that, Hey, I, like any amateur photographer, I mess
around with photoshop and I am not great at it admittedly. But the thing
is that people are dissecting this so much is because a lot of people think
it's not even a real photo, that it's AI generated, And we have
reached that point of society where we really do question everything because we don't know
was this a real photo that was photoshopped? Was it a generate and ai
generated photo. Who knows people are requesting that they post the undoctored photo.
And I think it's just the reason specifically for this is because there are so
many quote unquote photoshopping errors, and there's so much speculation, rumors, conspiracy
theories going on around her health. How does that well, who's but why
she's a Is it really a problem? No, mere mortal human, She
is no normal person. She is Kate Middleton. We have been obsessed with
her her as a society ever since she met Prince William because because it's one
of those things that it's almost like a romantic comedy or a romantic movie that
came to real life. We my generation grew up on these movies of a
normy norm person who marries, is dating somebody and then later finds out their
royalty because they have to go back home because of something that happens, and
now they're going to be king or queen and then they you know, fight
for the relationship and and that kind of played out in a way in real
life, and I think that's where a lot of the fascination came. I'm
glad you explained it, Tetell. That's more than enough times still I agree
with you, but why do we care so much about some photoshopping errors,
Like it's a cute family photo. Let's just leave it at that and wish
her well. While we are in England, story of a car crashing into
Buckingham Palace, into the gates. Anybody who's been to England and walk down
that boulevard that leads to the palace, you know you could drive down that
boulevard at two hundred miles an hour because there's nothing to stop you other than
maybe other cars. And then with this, the folks in the police department
said that a man was arrested on suspicion of criminal damage. I don't love
the Brits and where they come up with for phraseology. A spokesperson confirming that
there were no members of the royal family inside the palace. You're never going
to get through the gates to begin with. You can crash into them so
that they're going to be able to drive their vehicle into these gates and they're
just going to break open, like these are the gates at Buckingham Palace.
Come on, people in the news today, Jay the Boeing whistleblower John Barnett
was found dead yesterday right in the middle of his deposition. Wow, doesn't
this start this, This will start some stuff flowing, some juices flowing.
Car in his office said, this man was found dead from an apparent self
inflicted gunshot wound. So he must have known something and didn't want to say
what he wanted to know. He retired a number of years ago, actually,
but he did work for Boeing for three decades plots, and he was
in the middle of some legal proceedings in connection with a whistleblower lawsuit against the
company. This company has been run so badly. If I were on the
board of directors, I'd be firing everybody that's at the top and bringing people
in who know how to run, who know how to build airplanes and not
bean counters. But you wonder that you have to window. This is one
of those things that you do wonder about. I don't wonder about Kate Middleton,
but I sure wonder about this guy. Was well, that's another question,
question right. Some of the coworkers said that he was brave, honest,
highest integrity, cared dearly about his family, his friends, his work
at Boeing, pilots and people who flew on Boeing Aircraft. He cared about
them, He cared about the company, and the people at the top don't
seem to care. This is my observation anyway, don't seem to care about
anything except the money. And as a result, they're ruining an amazing American
company. The folks at Boeing retaliated against him. Story today in the Washington
Post about the whether they did or they didn't, it seemed that they were.
And so anyway, there's a lot of rumor and speculation around the death
of this fellow John Barnett, who had the goods seemingly on Boeing, and
how they were chiseling and cheating. And now they're under new scrutiny for any
number member of public incidents, and this thing too will cause them to be
more scrutinized, which is aoka. Another name in the news today is Marcia
Fudge. Interesting name. She had been the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development
in the Biden administration. She's stepping down. This is let's see here,
this is only the second person that has been a secretary that has left during
this time of the Biden administration. She says she believed government can and should
work for the people. So what is that implying? Does that imply something
that the government isn't working for the people, and that's why she's leaving?
What do you read between the lines here? She says it next week,
right, is that what you did to take away? Right? Take away?
That's might takeaway too too much influence from politicians and not enough focus on
the public good. And so anyway, she says, I'm not interested in
being on a ballot. I'm not interested in being an appointee or anything like
that. I'm going to be a private citizen and I'm going back to my
home in Ohio. And that's the end of that. She was quiet.
I don't think most people knew, you know, whatever she's doing get drowned
out by the focus on Alejandro Majorcis and some of the other secretaries. But
anyway, so speaking of administrations and that sort of thing, looks like both
Joe and Donald have clinched the nomination for their presidential runs. What a disgrace.
Oh my god, I thought you were going to say a disaster.
But I agree that well that too, yeah, that too. Let's see,
all right, so there's one more name here where we have time for
one more name. This fellow Robert Herr, who is the House Judiciary Committee's
a victim at the moment, a special counsel investigating Joe Biden's handling of classified
materials. Much of the hearing yesterday focused on his decision not to prosecute Biden.
He said the president was well meaning and an elderly man with a poor
memory, fatal helpman his reelection campaign. Right, this guy, listen to
let me repeat that. Robert her special counsel investigating Biden finds and I get
this. I think it makes sense. You know, he didn't really remember,
he didn't know what he did either. That is a great actor.
I think it's the former, not the latter. And so you know,
the Republicans obviously have tried to smear him, and they wanted to embarrass him.
And you know they're trying to compare that to Trump's depositions blah blah blah
blah blah, and it saw more of the same kind of thing Trump and
his handling the classified documents. Different scrutiny. Well, was it a different
case? Was it a different scenario? That's a question. One of the
names in the top ten today. People are I don't know if this is
gossip. It's kind of an overview of the life and times of Lenny Kravitz,
who has a star being implanted on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and
so he had a lot of people that were there. We'll talk about some
of that, some of the people who were there and who talked and you
know what, kind of what was the mood today he was honored with a
star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. There's a it's about time? What
took so long? Did you see on the Oscars? The dog peeing on?
Was it mad? That was the dog that was actually in the Oscar
ceremony? The dog. I forget the movie he was in, but it
is kind of a cute bit. And so here we have now Lenny Kravitz
and Zoe his daughter appeared, and Denzel Washington appeared, Game Beaches Gift features.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, so fun. Yeah, that's it's really
an honor. A lot of great people have stars. Have you ever walked
on the Star Hall of Fame to walk they walk around? Yeah, and
what did you think? You just looked at those names touristy right there,
like, yeah, it's a great. Yeah, that part of town.
It's very touristy. That's where they have the Oscars, and you know that
whole part of Hollywood and Vine. It's a very believe it or not.
Oh yeah, all that stuff up and down the street. Yeah, bizarre
place. Let's see. Uh, Channing Tatum is there? Speak to Zoe
Kravitz. Yeah, oh that's right too. They still yeah, yes,
yes, he's there supporting his pature father in law and Lenny Kravitz is I
mean, he's who are what three months into the year. He is having
a good year. He's also nominated for this year's Rock and Roll Hall of
Fame class. Yeah, we'll see if he gets gets inducted. Told he
should be. It's taking two. He was told his music wasn't black enough
or it wasn't white enough. People are so silly. Yeah, what does
that even mean? I guess it would be the question. So anyway,
congratulations, Lenny Kravitz gets his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Hey,
do you want to get out of here? You want to go to
Vegas? Well, guess what five four to one travels can help, and
so can we call right now? Eight hundred four one nine Doug Doug.

Doug, Doug eight hundred four one nine three six eight four. All right,
let's have how about a celebration, or at least the anticipation of a
celebration, because the powerball jackpot is now up to five hundred fifty nine million
bucks. No tickets matching again, all right, so can we have a
winner before Saint Patrick's Day? One more drawing Saint Patty's Day is on Sunday.
Oh no, hopefully not. Let's let's let it get up. Let's
let it reach the billions again. Yeah, why not? Of course?
All right, so three months without a winner power ball, And also I
think Mega millions is up there too, it's not as it's not a five
hundred. I think it's isn't about four hundred. I'm trying to remember what
the number is, but google fairly high. This is very interesting looking at
the numbers. Seven hundred and nine thousand tickets won cash prizes for the jackpot.
The prize on New Year's Day was eight hundred and forty two million bucks
there, right, Since that one, since that person won in Michigan,
there have been thirty drawings, no winners. And so here we go again
with lots of focus on the powerball jackpot as it cranks up? Is one
make millions? Is that seven hundred and ninety two million estimating for the next
jackpot, which the cash option is just under four hundred million, only forty
what four hundred what'd you say? Four twenty million? Winter? Come on,
no, just under four hundred million. Yeah, the cash option off
of an estimated seven hundred and ninety two million dollar jackpot would be three hundred
eighty one point eight million. Well what would you do with that? What
do you think? That's all of money? But that's also a lot of
money being taken out you mean of the of the sevenation No, yeah,
the seven ninety down to three eighty one. That's so drot But still that's
like that is you hear life changing money? Like this is lives changing money.
Ye, most people take the cash. I think that's probably not what
I would do. I'd take a payout over what is it twenty years I
think or something like that. Yeah, then you get because you still get
a lot of money annually. Yeah, right, and it keeps going up.
It keeps becoming more and more money as each year goes by. And
if you're smart, you have good investment advice, you can there is safe
investments that return about eight percent, and that's pretty good. If you have
one hundred million dollars, Let's say the return is eight percent of that one
hundred million dollars, that's eighty million buck. No, is that eight million,
eight million bucks? You could do okay on that every year too?
Not a bad deal. Speaking of things that are not a bad deal.

I want to go. You know, remember when who is it? Ruth
Bader Ginsburg and Antonio Scalia both at opposite ends of the spectrum on the Supreme
Court, and they were very, very close friends. So I look at
this brewing friendship between two Supreme Court justices that politically you would think, why
are they friends? Well, because people aren't all about politics. Hello,
uhh, so Justice is Barrett in the start of my year. Yesterday held
sort of a joint news conference, earning the respect of a lot of people,
and in this conversation they urged Americans to tone down the political record rhetoric.
We have a very charged atmosphere. They sat next to each other at
the State of the Union. Whether you saw that or not. They just
seem to you know, they Hello, they're just human beings. We're all
just human beings. Why did they How many people waste time not liking somebody
because they're a Democrat or Republican so much, so much, we are constantly
saying that some people won't even be front of them. There are some families
who have the family events that they can't help but talk politics, and people
always end up fighting. We even't saw this with COVID of people who were
getting the vaccine fors people who are not getting the vaccine, and people lost
friendships over a disagreement on what to do. Some just felt so staunch and
where they stood that you were a bad person in their eyes if you disagreed
on that specific topic. There was no agree to disagree in some people's minds.
Yeah, they were speaking at an event in Washington, just as Barrett
said, why should any of us want to obliterate the opposition or even see
another person as the opposition, which is really very important. That's a great
line. And then Justice sot in my ear said that she and her colleagues
have had many disagreements, but all nine are operating in good faith. The
public discourse, she said, has lost some of that. There's a lot
of personal attacking on people's character, and so this is good and there it
ought to be a lesson for all of us. If you I mean,
I have people send me notes everydingy. I'm never gonna listen to you anymore
because you said this about it, but every single day. Yeah right,
exactly, yeah, yeah. Now let's have some one of the you posted
some stuff on our social media pages. An article that was printed about me
and the program. I appeared in one of the trades yesterday and the focus
in part was why it is that I don't do a political program. I've
done them over the years. As a matter of fact. When the Good
Day Program started in nineteen eighty eight, it was basically a political program.
And at the time I expose I don't know if I was a raging Republican,
but I was active and I had lots to say. And that was
the beginning of the time when everybody went in that direction if you were going
to be successful in the radio. I didn't do it because I was going
to be successful. It just happened to be the way I believed. But
over the years I've changed my opinion about the status of the Republican Party,
and it's just not for me. That's me. Maybe for you. You
may love it. I'm titled to not like it, and you're entitled to
like it. And that does mean that I'm a bad guy. But you'd
be amazed. And how many people send me notes I'm never gonna listen to
you again. I'm a conservative, of course, and you have no right
to you know that kind of bs. Anyway, the Ukrainians are at it
and hold on a minute, just a minute, hold on? Uh huh?
Holding holding time? Do I waste every day? I don't know why.
This made me think of the holding music that sometimes plays his play like
can you just play actual songs like radio songs or whatever, And it's just
this weird like tune and it only plays for five seconds before it read yeah,
I know. It's like on the phone and the answering machine on the
phone. Anyway, So the pro Ukrainian fighters launched an incursion into Russia with
tanks and armored vehicles. That's the largest attack over the border since the start
of the invasion a year ago. Two years ago February. It's been two
years. This thing's been going on. Good God, So anyway, the
Ministry of Defense in Russia confirmed that lots of fighters tried to break through,
but of course they held them back. That's what the Russians say. And
then there are some drone attacks as well on our refinery in western Russia yesterday,
so they are striking back. There you go. There's always something so
special about getting the gift of Omaha Steaks. I know that it is one

at least in part, some of the the technology. There's a bill floating
around Congress this week banning TikTok. There are one hundred and seventy million users
in our country of TikTok, but they want to get rid of the Chinese
based owner because of the connection that has to the government to the Communist Party.
So the bill would require that Byte Dance, which is the name of
the Chinese company, divested in one hundred and six five days. That's a
very interesting, very interesting reality to see where it goes. We'll know by
the end of the week what happens to that and who signed. Has already
shown that Instagram users are outweighing TikTok users anymore at this point too well.
People are getting the message. But isn't it an age thing more anything else?
Right? I think it's an age thing for sure, but also it
always was what you can do with certain social media things, and now Instagram
and TikTok, there's not a lot of difference because everything you can do with
the videos on TikTok, you can do with Instagram reels. All right,
that's great, don't you know? I don't know enough about it. I
look to you for anything that has anything earnestly to do with this, because
I have very little, if anything or nothing to do with some of this
stuff, and it just becomes a distraction for me. And now let's go
one step further with the age thing. Jay. Apparently, according to the
Pew Research Center, teens are seeking social media balance and they think their parents
ought to do the same thing. So some teenagers anywhere are heeding the call
to self regulate their usage. Four in ten say they've cut back on their
social media use and time. About a third in this survey say they have
cut back on the time they spend on their smartphone as well. So let's
see there's a gender difference in self regulation. Girls are more likely than boys
to say they spend too much time on either of the technologies, but they're
also more likely than boys to say they've taken steps to cut back on the
time that they use on social media or on their phone. We ask teenagers
to assess how often their parents are distracted when they're trying to have a conversation
with them. Half the teen said that it happens at least some of the
time. I think that's true a lot of parents and that, Yeah,
you go into a restaurant, you have people, Yeah, yeah, you
might know. I just I'm recalling times in a restaurant when you see I
remember more recently, a daughter and her mother were sitting across from each other
and they had just ordered and they were texting each other across the table where
they texting each other or texting other people. No, no, they were,
and then they look at each other after they texted a message to each
other. Oh my god. There are people who will they'll just scroll through
social media or they if they're doing something, they have to take a picture
of it and put it up on social media or send it to people in
real time. They can't just wait, like take a picture and then wait
and post it or send it into it later. We have people in our
life that we will not allow to watch our son because we don't trust them
to stay off of their phone long enough to take care of him, to
find his well being. Yeah, and then here's the focus on Kate Middleton's
Mother's Day photo. Here's another headline. We were talking about this earlier.
Royal Insider explains what the Kate photo actually tells us. It's a scandal.
It is a scandal. A deeper digging into this is somebody who really really
needs to get a life. There's something about her children and being photoshopped and
all that kind of stuff. I said to Jay earlier. What Princess Charlotte's
sleeve was removed above her left hand. That's one of the things. The
zipper on Princess Kate's top appears edited. The Princess Charlotte's hair cut is.
It was just hello, would you mind getting a life please? Thanks very
much. The next Stefan Good Day download with Doug and Jay Kirshner is made
