The next Stefan Good Day download with Doug and Jay Kirshner is made possible in
part by Calitron, which is the safe way for you to lose weight and
keep it off, and also by preveragent keeping your brain healthy. We ought
to have a couple of days of Thanksgiving Turkey trots and mashed potato and apple
peaches, pumpkin pie. Yeah, I just think, Jay, are you
on board with all of that? You know? Yeah? Right, yeah,
yep, okay, So then happy Thanksgiving? Why not November the seventeenth.
This is a weekend before some people are traveling already, althoughmost of the
traveling takes place Tuesday and Wednesday, and then it gets spread out. When
do you come back? Come back on Saturday, come back on Sunday,
come back on Monday. At any rate, time to start thinking about the
goodness in the world and how much you do have to be tanged for.
It's an exercise that takes place every year, and some people are sincere and
some people, now, yeah, I'll just say the prayer and give me
a drow stick. So I think it's a it's always good. I think
I think really it's a it's a good thing. To have that be,
that gratitude thing be a part of your daily life. That would be my
advice. And then we dig around and find out what's going on in the
world. November seventeenth is upon us and one of the names in the news
today is Clarissa Thompson. How many people know who she is? Raise your
hands please? Really familiar? And I cannot point her right now? Why
not? Who is she? She covers the NFL for Fox Sports, and
she said that she makes up fake sideline reports and manufactures interviews with coaches.
She doesn't want to put herself in a position where the boys in the band
will get her into a compromising place. So apparently the football players are still
pigs in the locker room with the reporters who are of the female persuasion.
So instead of getting yourself into that position, she makes up fake reports.
Which is better to admit that she makes up fake reports. I suppose maybe
that's a little embarrassing. But what's more embarrassing it would seem to me for
the NFL, is that the players are such pigs that they don't know how
to respect a woman who's a reporter. Not that you'd expect any more than
that from some of these guys who are you know, the players or some
of them are pigs. It just seems that's what is attracted to playing professional
football pigs. I think that both things can be true at once, that
well, you can be a pig for ball players, and she shouldn't have
fabricated the sideline reports, and that she also shouldn't be put into situations where
she feels uncomfortable, because yeah, some some meant some not all. Some
are big right there, some of them. I remember this whole thing started
with women in the locker room with a reporter and in Boston, she worked
for the Boston Herald. I can't remember her name, but I remember she
was attractive and she just went into the locker room and the guys were all
naked and it didn't seem to face anybody until it did. And so a
number of years ago, man, that must have been I'll bet that was
twenty maybe more years ago. But because of the women's movement, if you
will, and the fact that there is a question from some as to why
women shouldn't report or should or shouldn't report, why is it a thing that
women can't report on sports, which was again twenty five thirty years here.
It just wasn't It isn't something that you did. Women now, they're all
over the place, as they well should be, and it shouldn't be that
we're talking about a woman being a reporter. It's just this reporter does that
and this one does something else. That we're so damned immature about this stuff,
sexual stuff in America especially, we are so naive and so complicit actually
in being foolish, immature, childish about sexual stuff. It's silly anyway,
this is some of the things. I'm sure that there will be questions,
maybe we'll even post it on our social media whether you think that is that
okay under the circumstances, is just making up sideline reports. So she may
have a lot of other stuff. At any rate, perhaps when you go
watch the game at a bar and you see her there, you can the
guys these right, there's the cigar clubs and the men standing oh cigars and
smoking. This is I'm drinking, and this is the way real men act.
Real men don't act like that at all. But at any rate,
I thought that was an interesting sort of take on what's right. The fact
that she's trying to protect herself, or the fact that people are outraged because
she was delivering fake reports. Well, but also sometimes when she's trying to
get a coach's report, the coaches aren't willing to talk or there's not enough
time to get something. So what she has to say, like, here's
what the coach said. I just think there's another way that you can go
about it where you can still do your job lying. Okay, So what's
that way. I don't I'm not saying you're well acknowledged that you weren't able
to talk to a coacher or acknowledge that the coaches two visits to chat,
but you would imagine that they'd be saying something along the lines of blah blahlah
blah blah blah blah blah blah. Okay, I think good football reporting requires
a certain amount blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. Anyway, So I
just I find this whole thing to be Uh, it's very obvious that we
are still a pretty naive and immature. Here's another example of somebody being pretty
naive and immature. Even though a lot of people I'm not a fan of
Nancy Pelosi's don't have to be, But that does mean I'd go after her
husband with a hammer. Here's a fellow named David de Paige. Remember this
happened last was it last spring? When this guy was home and he got
violently attacked by h and I believe the assailant was looking for Nancy. I
think he thought she was home. I get her with a guard yea,
almost caught off guard by her husband. So anyway, eighty three years old,
he gets well, we all know the story. So he's found guilty.
The jury began deliberating Wednesday. They reached a verdict on Thursday, guilty
on all accounts. And so what does that mean? Where does he go?
Goes to jail for twenty years? There are two different charges. One
of them he gets twenty years, the other one gets thirty years. So
how old is this guy? He's forty three. He'll be an old guy
before he gets out of prison. And it's a lesson. Do you think
people pay attention to these? It's like, is this having all the exposure
that was given to this trial and now to the results and then what happens
to him is that? Do you think people pick up the newspapers say I'm
not going to do that. I don't want to go to jail for thirty
years. I think it also points out that more and more politicians and governmental
officials are being attacked. That it's almost kind of like, I don't think
that. No, I guess that players should be paying for like secret service,
for everyone to have secret service, but there might be consideration that,
like, hey, it's a really violent world. A lot of people are
angry and acting out on that anger. And is it just miroor does it
seem like that's more so since the like things shut down in the pandemic,
there's just a lot of I don't know, it seemed like there was a
lot of hate in the world before the pandemic, but people didn't act on
their hate. They more like silently stowed. No, Like, there are
a lots there are a lot more attacks. Yeah, why is there so
much hate? What did people have to be this angry about? I had
this conversation, actually, I think we had a little bit on the year
yesterday, and then I had a conversation with later in the day pretty much
about the same thing. That people who don't have a lot, who don't
have a lot of energy, they don't have a lot of get up and
go. They're not Some people are not even motivated to get a job.
But yet they think they deserve to have all of the niceties that society can
provide. And so why should I have to work hard? I look at
that guy over there, Look at all the money he's got. I want
some of that. So you get it through the system to a point.
You guys like Joe Biden who that attacks the damn rich, right, those
are bad people. Go get them, get their money so we can redistribute
it. Why just should they have all that money? Well, because they
came up with an idea and it worked, and they put their money on
the line, and they hired a lot of employees, a lot of people
got jobs. So what have you done? Have you done something like that?
Do you have the ability to do something like that? I actually and
it sounds like it, because I do resent the living. You know what,
out of people who think who are jealous of stuff, that I may
have it. You may have jay because we've worked for it. I've worked
fourteen twelve, fourteen hours a day all my life. Yeah, that doesn't
mean that I deserve to be where I am or wherever I might be,
but it means I put the effort into it. And I know a lot
of people who don't do that, and yet they expect to have the same
stuff, and it's just kind of well, actually it's unreasonable. Yeah,
And I think it's sometimes not necessarily what somebody has that gives them that mentality
or what somebody doesn't have that gives them that mentality, Because you have seen
people who have gobs of money and then they get busted for doing some kind
of scheme or something illegal that brought them in more money, and it's I
had a friend who did a lot of mission work. Yeah, I had
a friend that did a lot of mission work, and she went to different
communities this one summer, and what she personally noticed was within these communities,
the ones who had absolutely nothing, who had the absolute least, Those were
the ones who were the kindest, most appreciative, didn't really need a lot,
they had something better. And those who had some to an extent but
not a whole lot, those were the ones that were like stealing their wallets,
phones and iPads. Yeah, the ones that had happen I made more.
Yeah, I a lot of food for that as usual. Why not
I'm Greg. I'm sixty eight years old. I grew up in Cleveland,
Ohio, major in business administration. I do motivational speaking in addition to substitute
teaching. Part of the 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 a U.
My wife, Wanda, as a senior flight attendant. She'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 Privilegent for about three years now. People say to me periodical, Man,
you got a memory like an holephant. It's really really helped me tremendously.

real Privilegen user based on the clinical study of subgroups of individuals who were cognitively
normal or mildly impaired. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat,

ordering nauseum. That's right. You know, it'll be twenty five years this

week to Thanksgiving, so you're all prepared whatever that means this. I sometimes,
as you know, Jay, resist talking about what everybody else is talking
about because I find it boring. So not sure whether I think that about
all the discussion. We'll have more discussion when I get to our food Farm
and Family Report in a couple of minutes. But it just seems like it's
the same old, same olds sometimes unless somebody comes up with a new angle,
like something new, we're going to have a new recipe for Let's see
what could what would be good sasquatch pie? How about that? That would
be sasquatch much? Yeah? The monster? Yeah, you know, monster
like chop up his stuff and put it see you to talk about it and
to chuckle about it. There you go. Oh. One of the conversations
that I always hear every year, well at least for the last couple of
years. But I get fascinated by because I do think that it is worth
the conversation of whether or not you charge people to come to Thanksgiving if you're
throwing it, what what you mean share the cost? Yeah, some people
have been doing that, and it's not just like younger people who are throwing
Thanksgiving. But I think more of the conversation around is that they're caught off
guard. It's not mentioned ahead of time that they would be sharing the cost.
It's not until they show up and it's like, okay, like twenty
dollars at the door. M okay. Well it's an idea. That is
a good but that's a great conversation they have actually. But it's also one
of those things. If you are going to throw Thanksgiving dinner and you are
cooking everything, then you do the cost. But if you want to split
the costs and make it Publux style and everybody just brings something there stuff,
Yeah, yeah, good, all right, that's good food for than it.
You're glad I brought it up. Something else I'm glad I brought up.
We're talking about Sean Combs in the accusing of this lady who said that
he did her harm. I think of what I was saying before we even
got into that, the business of jealousy and people who say, well,
you've got it, so I want it. You deserve it, but for
no good reason you I deserve it. And there are a lot of people
who is an old song wishing and hoping dada da da da. A wish
is great wishing you could do something, or wishing you were somewhere, or
wishing stuff is fine as long as you put some energy behind it. Right,
you have the desire, so go for it. They don't wish that
you had it, but go for it and get it because the universe will
supply you with what it is that you're really trying to get if you go
about it the right way. I really do believe that that you can get
your heart set on something and then you go for it, work for it.
But if you don't work for it, you're not going to get it.
Some people do because of circumstances, come from families have a lot of
money, and then you know they don't have to do a lot. You
can say, well, I wish I was born with a silver spoon in
my mouth, but you know what, you weren't, So I waste time
wishing for something that you can't achieve. Put some energy into what your desire.
What are you good at? What do you want to accomplished with the
end of your life when people say, hey, he was good at this
or great at that, what do you want to be known for. Somebody
who wasted a lot of time and no effort in getting someplace, or you
want to be somebody that exercises the brains that you have and the body that
you have to come up with something that will be a credit to you,
your family, society, whatever. All right, I'm going to leave it
at that, because I could go on for the whole half hour and a
lot of other stuff to talk about, including another inventor. Here's another story.
We've had three or four of these in the past few weeks. This
is the story of a youngster who won the dice In Award for what he
called a life chariot, which he designed to save lives in Ukraine. He's
a Polish youngster. I can't pronounce his name because I'm no good at Polish
names, but let's call him Peter Thomas, all right. His initials are
pt. Let's just leave it at that. Not important what his name is.
It's important what he did. And this speaks to what I just talked
about. I wish I could do something to help. I've got this idea,
so I'm going to try and do something to develop what is called a
life chariot. It's an off road ambulance that attaches to any vehicle with a
towing hook. It's very low weights just mentioned load to the ground, make
it safe for somebody who has been hurt to travel. You wouldn't put them
in the trunk of a car, and that's often been used over there because
that's all they have. But this fellow designed a trailer. He started off
with road trips with his family in this area, and so for the past
ten years or so he was in college getting degrees and he designed a lot
of off road and cave rescue trailers. Interesting enough, and then the Life
Chariot was designed and then opened the door for him. It was exposed at
a festival, a design festival. This is a pretty good story. I
don't just thinking. Doesn't it speak Jada what I was just talking about.
Here's a guy had a dream and he put into action and now he's helped
rescue a lot of people, and it's being purchased. This will be some
company will buy it from him, and you know, he gets the award,
the James Diceon Award, especially Humanitarian Prize. This is a very ingenious
way of recovering injured people from a place where normally, unless you got a
helicopter, you're in trouble. You can't get these people out. Yeah,
recognizing that there was a need for this and putting it together. Good for
him. He's been like ten years on this yep. So that's what had
a good example of what I was talking about. He had will power and
he went for it and he'll be rewarded, which is good for him.
All Right, big storm down in Florida this week. You see all the
rain that wow, a foot of rain in some areas, and there were
winds almost like a hurricane. Even though the hurricane season is really over.
There was a storm that developed in the Atlantic kind of like a hurricane,
and it dumped a foot of rain, a lot of flooding. Some of
these people without power. I think the last time I checked power outages both
on the East side and the west side of South Florida. So if you're
down there listening, you have lots of listeners in Florida. Hopefully you've gotten
through it and you're okay. But all these homes and businesses that didn't have
electricity yesterday and through the night last night. We're talking about Miami Dade,
talking about Broward County, Palm Beach County, all these areas on the Atlantic
side, The storm did go sort of around the curve and affected Naples and
Fort and Naples and Fort Myers. I was gonna say Fort Pierce probably affected
Fort Pierce more than it did Fort Myers. But it went up the coast
and so there is gone now, but like absolutely flooded. Oh yeah,
yeah. So it's just something to be aware of. If you're going to
Thanksgiving dinner in Palm Beach, bring your galoshes. It would probably be a
good prescription. The Oakland Athletics moving to Las Vegas. Wait a minute,
say that again, Doug. What the Oakland age are going to move to
Las Vegas? They moved to Oakland. Yeah, it is in many respects.
I suppose took the Raiders first. Now they have the as well,
they'll come up with some other team probably Or do they need to San Francisco
teams? Why are there two teams? And it's like, okay, we
got two teams in New York. Why and we had two teams in Chicago.
Why can't we have to No, this is I mean talking about Oakland
and San Francisco. It's a lot of people say because Oakland is the twin
city to San Francisco, right, across the bridge, right across the bay,
and so okay, that's not really the distrusted the discussion or the story.
Major League Baseball has been trying to get into Las Vegas, and actually
this team's been trying to get there since two thousand and five. You had
to have a seventy five percent vote of the thirty teams. They got everybody's
vote, so the plan was also endorsed by the Baseball Commissioner. They wanted
to find a stadium in Oakland, and they really, I guess they couldn't.
So this is it. Sorry to fans in Oakland, but they didn't
come up with The Oakland Coliseum is a rattle and has not been good for
a long time. And you know, there's all this push Astley after Los
Angeles got that big new stadium. This everybody, you know, wants everybody
except people in Boston. If you propose this has been proposed by the way
about ten times. Let's tear down Fenway Park and put up a new baseball
Oh this rioting in the streets, serious night, it's too historic, it's
too iconic, right taking that down. So anyway, does this affect anybody?
I guess if you're a baseball fan, you want to go to Las
Vegas. I have a this is a subtle suggestion. How about you go
to five forty one Travel and you dial eight hundred and four three six eight
four and you can go make arrangements when the LA team gets there. I
mean, when the Oakland team gets to Las Vegas, you can have yourself
a couple of nights to go watch the team three days, in fact,
in two nights without cost. In Las Vegas, they've got fifteen sixteen different
great hotels from which to shoes, and so let's go for it, right
eight hundred four thirty six eighty four. Don't you notice how cleverly There's always
stories about Las Vegas, and they're usually good stories about Las Vegas. It's
a pretty it's a compelling place to go for all kinds of reasons. It
wouldn't be my choice to live there, but it is fun to visit.
I used to spend a lot of time going through there. When I I
was on the board of directors of real estate outfitting in Arizona, I had
to go run on the border of Novas so I went to Las Vegas and
drove over. It's always fun to stay in one of the hotels, and
you know, just look at how crazy some of the people are. There's
just always something happening in Las Vegas. So you want to go help yourself.
If you're ready to play, you're ready to eat, you're ready to
see a show. No purchase is required to take advantage of this. That's
it. Three days, two nights available also on other places. If you
don't want to go to Vegas, ask them about some other places that they
have. Super hard to get Vegas rooms right now, and frankly would be
harder when the team moves to this baseball team moves, So call eight hundred
four nine thirty six eighty four exercise. You're right as a free American to
go where you want to go and do what you want to do. And
you can also win some tickets to a Las Vegas show. That's the summary
of this message. Eight hundred four thirty six eighty four dialing that makes it
happen. Let's see if I can do justice to this story of follow up
to we're just talking about. In terms of baseball, let's turn to football
for a second Boston University study in the Boston Papers today of athletes who played
football and other contact sports. Study one hundred and fifty two athletes whose brains
researchers have studied, sixty three of them had CTE, which is what happens
when you play football, you brain gets scrambled, Soccer as well, any
of these really bad heavy sports. So these people who had the degenerative brain
disease completely linked to repeated hits in the head. And of this their studying
of these one hundred and fifty two athletes, how many people committed suicide because
of what happened to their brains. This is a very revealing study, sort
of. I don't want to be the guy who says I told you so,
but I told you so. I've been on this kick for years and
years and years. How many people get hurt? And this is I think
in professional football you get what you know, you sign up for it,
you get paid. Kids in college, high school don't. And yet look
at how many of them have committed suicide. Sixty three of the one hundred
and fifty two who were studied committed suicide. I don't think they also look
at other sports like boxing. Yeah, same thing, right, yeah,
all that same stuff. Yep, yep. Worried to the wise, I
guess the next Stefan Good Day download with Doug and Jay Kirshner is made possible
in part by Caltron, which is the safe way for you to lose weight
and keep it off, and also by prevagent keeping your brain healthy.
