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 Previlegent keeping your brain healthy. Friday Ango
Maga. All right, so we have Friday. We're here to wrap up
the week, so to speak, on the tenth of November. It's a
Good Day program. I'm Doug Stephan with Jay Kirshner. Have the good news
what we have. We could probably get the theme James to the good,
the bad, and the ugly, because we have good news, we have
bad news, and we have ugly news. Is all right, So let's
get to the Let's get to the good news first. All right, Here's
a sorry guy who recently came across a message in a bottle. You know
that story. Either have been a lot of those that get tossed into a
pond, a lake, into an ocean. In this case, this bottle
was tossed into the Atlantic twenty six years ago as part of a school project.
So here's this fisherman that comes along, finds the bottle on the shores
of a beach, and so the letter of the bottles opened. The letter
written in October nineteen ninety seven by Ben Lyons, a fifth grade student at
the forest Dale School on the Cape Cape cod Massachusetts. Right. The bottle
thrown into the water at Nantucket part of a science project about ocean currents,
as you can see by looking at photos that have been on social media of
the letter. And so it's been found by Hubert Erral, a seventy one
year old fisherman who goes to a beach in Les Salbdorn. How's that my
frends has never been great? Anyway, So the bottle floats from the cape
across the ocean to France. Very cool. Took them twenty five years to
get it. And so anyway, there was a teacher named Frederic Emila who
was behind this special project studying ocean currents for the youngsters. There have been
other messages from bottles in this class that have been found in various places around
the world, up in Greenland. Right, it's very cool. This is
it's so cool. Yeah, And the fact that he took the time,
the fisherman took the time to write back and included the original letter so that
they were able to try to locate the student, but also just that this
specific teacher, his students have had bottles found all around the world, all
the world. Very cool. Yep, all right, so that's the good.
Now for the bad, there's yeah, there it is. Yeah,
Okay, they're gonna have that handy by there, James at anytime, because
I'm leveling on the street at any time. Driver of a car involved in
a collision with a bus in downtown Seattle left a woman dead twelve people injured.
This driver has been charged with vehicular manslaughter. Thirty one year old driver
of the car, not the driver of the bus, but the driver of
the car crashed into the bus and so the bus. Then it was such
force it pushed the bus onto the sidewalk and then into a building. This
guy must have been going, wow, he's auie and he was of course
drunk when he did it. The name, oftentimes in some states they don't
release the name as now. He probably not, it's not important to twenty
eight years a woman killed in the accident, struck by the bus while she
was walking on a sidewalk. She lived near the scene. Died of multiple
blunt force injuries. So this guy who's driving the car gets charged as well.
He should be charge. See. I feel like, though, when
it comes to this, I totally understand the difference between murder and manslaughter.
But when you are driving under the influence of yeah, when you're drunk and
possibly on drugs, I feel like a manslaughter charge is not enough because it's
not just that your actions inadvertently cause the death of somebody else. You had
a weapon when you are driving the car we influence, you have a weapon,
And I feel like this is more of a murder charge than a manslaughter
charge. But he did receive a manslaughter charge, all right, So that's
the bad. This is the ugly the story of Susannah Gibson. Anybody heard
this? When you hear me tell the story, you may yeah, I
heard about this lady. She was running in the fifty seventh seat of the
fifty seventh district in Virginia House of Delegates. She has conceded her race.
The attention that was drawn to the race and to her came after the release
of a sex video with her husband and her and I may have succumbed to
watching the video myself. As the fellow who won. A Republican named David
Owens sort of gloated about his win. This is a community the area that
she represents or did represent, this guy now represents just a bit outside of
Richmond. And so she said that the reason that she did what she did
was to fight. She's protecting women's bodily autonomy. Oh so it wasn't like
a video link like she she put this out. She streamed it. I
said, three and a half minute thing of him and her going at it.
And it was she was It was like she was taking a call from
somebody who wanted to see her and her husband in the sack. And this
made it. This is a story from the Washington Post. Not like they
weren't people paying attention to it. They live streamed the video of them in
the sack on the website chatterbait is that okay, so not even only fans.
No, apparently I didn't do it, but they were asking the on
the website for them to pay to watch. So she released a statement following
the report saying that she said, I will not be intimidated and I will
not be silenced. Well, it only goes so far. She said,
her political opponent has proven that they're willing to commit a sex crime. To
attack me and my family because there's no line they won't cross, the silence
women when they speak up. I guess she could have that be a loose
interre. Clearly not enough people were offended. Or wasn't that big of a
deal if she only lost by a small margin? Yeah, it was very
small yep. So anyway, so there we have it, the good,
the bad, and the ugly, all right. And I don't even think
that was ugly. She actually wasn't bad at looking Frankly, I don't know
that. Well. Listen, I think I said enough enough of that.
So now, even though she lost, the Democrats still one full control of
the state House in Virginia. Interesting to see how that impacts the race next
year. Good Day program at sixteen or before sixteen. After our progressive insurance.
Now, I want you to know, not that you don't know it
already because you've heard this before, but just to reinforce what they have for
boats and RVs and motorcycles, cars, the whole thing. It's basic full
protection wherever you are, whatever your vehicle. So if you want to figure
out how this will impact you, here's the reinforcement of the number eight hundred
Progressive and also the website reinforce the address please and the address is Progressive dot
com today or tomorrow. This is very confusing this year the Veterans Day celebration
for some is today, but yet November eleventh is the actual day, so
that would be tomorrow. It was declared aired by President Wilson back in nineteen
nineteen on this date to the purpose that's demonstrated or explained then was to one
of the fallen soldiers in World War One for their sacrifice, for their bravery,
and that still continues. Many years later, Congress adopted a resolution making
the annual celebration November eleventh Armistice Day. Also it factors into World War Two
as well. There was a fellow who's a VET, named Raymond Weeks who
had the idea to expand this day holiday called Armistice Day at that time to
all veterans of all wars. And if you look at the list of people
men and women who have died in battle and service, what a list you
think about it? I kind of I always go there's a question some confused
about whether Memorial Day in the last Monday in May is something that is akin
to Veterans Day and The answer to that is not really, because Memorial Day
is about those who died and Veterans Day is about all who have served.
That's basically the difference. So at eleven o'clock on November eleventh, nineteen eighteen,
the First World War ended, and so there are a lot of people
tomorrow who are older probably understand or maybe those who have served, who will
take a moment to remember the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh
month. That's what it is, a couple of minutes of silence observed in
those countries that had a lot of loss in the two wars I took.
On Memorial Day, we played God Bless America by Kate Smith. It certainly
is a appropriate that it was actually introduced her version of it. This is
an Irving Berlin song. Her version of God Bless America was introduced on this
date in nineteen thirty eight at the New York World's Fair. You ever go
down the road that goes that goes to LaGuardia Airport, you see a big
globe on the left hand side. That's the place where the that's where the
World's Fair took place. So anyway, Kate is certainly identified with this more
importantly Veterans Day for the people who have served. That's what you keep in
your mind that people are confused. Excuse me, I normally do my banking
on Friday. I don't know whether the bank's open or not, because there
are a lot of people who say, ah, I don't do it,
so the banks are closed today. I had some more stories, some more
thoughts in the next half hour about Veterans Day because I think it's an important
thing. So it's great business time for Caldron. I would think the phones
would be bringing off the hook and people would be ordering nauseum. That's right.

One tenth of the way, they're a rude month, thirty days hath
November, and that's not really how it goes April, May and September.
It's really thirty days haf September, April, May and November. But I
switched it around because it seemed convenient in artistic liberty very much so, yes,
right, okay, Speaking of an artist and artistic liberty, Kelly Clarkson
wants to re record a song called Better with Age, and she wants to
record some other early hits. So she's looking back on her early songs and
we'll find out why she thinks she needs to re record them. Kind of
an interesting story, That's why we tell those. The interesting stories are the
ones that we aim for here, folks. The idea here the album ought
to be called better with age, right, don't you think that's what she
Oh, yeah, it'd be great. That's more experience. Yeah, right,
So some of the early songs that she had. I still find it
interesting her connection with American Idol and how she is kind of created on that
program. How many other people have been as successful as she has been as
a result of being on that program. Carrie un carry on, Okay,
but those are the first immediate too. There are some other people who Katherine
mcpae is pretty successful, but I think the absolute most would be Kelly Clarkson
and Krrie Underwood. And Kelly was the OG, she was the very first
one. And I think this is such a cool idea because well, Kelly
can still hit those notes. Let's be real, she can still hit those
notes she was singing when she was younger. But a lot of artists who
are fortunate enough to have longevity in their career sometimes can't perform the earlier versions
of songs the same way, so they have to change them up their vocal
cords. They just can't hit some of the notes, they can't hold them.
But before Taylor Swift started doing re records, when she was still in
that battle to own her own music. Kelly Clarkson was one of the people.
I can't remember if she took to social media or if she said this
on her show, but she was like, go re record your music and
then you'll own it. And it seems like Kelly's taking her own advice now
of like gonna, I'm going to go re record my old music too,
not only to own it. Yeah. Well, when you say own it,
did she have an issue with the company that first released the songs like
Taylor swifted or is this just I don't know if that's the case. Yeah,
I say, I don't know if that's the case, if she's trying
to own her own music, if she doesn't own her own music, I
don't know where Kelly stands on that. But for Kelly, it's more artistic
where she feels like she could do better with a lot of these songs,
and for instance, on Misindependent, she even says like it's young Kelly,
she's green, she can go stronger now. And I think that it's more
of a she feels like she can make the songs better period, and that's
her motive for wanting to re record. I see she's going to get her
own channel on Serious XM. She should it's interesting. Yeah, there's somebody
else who got a channel on Series X some of there heard this weekend Carrie
Underwood has one. Oh so somebody else over the weekend. Yeah, somebody
got channel seventy four. I remember hearing a conversation about it on one of
the other chances that I don't remember who now, I just remember Channel seventy
four. Isn't that interesting. I'm Greg. I'm sixty eight years old.
I grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, majored in business administration. I do
motivational speaking in addition to substitute teaching. Part of the reason for my motivational
speaking is I kind of feel like I have a calling or giving back to
the younger generation. You know, the golden rule is doing to others you'd
have them doing to you. My wife, Wanda, as a senior flight
attendant. 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 privilegen for about three years now people say to
me periodical, Man, you got a memory like an alphant. It's really
really helped me tremendously. Privagen healthier brain, better life. Greg Freeley is

the most prolific writers, producers, singers, performers. Does he deserve a
channel like Elvis has? Oh? No, we were. The reason we
talked about is because we were talking about Kelly Clarkson a getting she should her
channel owned channel as a lady who's got it all together. I kind of
like Kelly clarks I always have. In fact. All right, here we
are Friday on the Good Day Program with Jay Kershner, and we're talking a
lot appropriately about veteran's day. It will be tomorrow, so here we are
remembering why we remember. I think that this is something The articles that are
written about what happened precisely at eleven am on November eleventh, nineteen eighteen.
The piece that came, it wasn't really Actually the League of Nations was formed
after that was the predecessor to the United Nations, and they weren't really very
smart about how they did things. They really socked it to Germany as to
the point where the Germans could hardly live, and thus made it really very
easy for right Off Hitler to come in and say, look at what's going
on here. And so since the seeds of World War two were sown at
the end of World War One, and so people didn't quite understand the reality
anyway. So that's not really what the day is all about. What the
day is all about, or the people who gave their lives, the people
who served, whether they gave their lives, they oftentimes you've seen people.
It's certainly in our lifetime, my lifetime. From Vietnam, it wasn't so
much Korea because it wasn't the same kind of a war, different kind of
a war that was fought with the Koreans north and south, the Chinese communists
back then trying to take over Korea. So the business of Vietnam and what
it was the same scenario is Korea only thirteen fourteen years later, where the
Chinese tried to take over. We kept them from taking over Korea. So
they went to Vietnam and tried to take that over, and we all know
what happened there. It was probably the most obnoxious. Isn't a strong enough
word. But it was the worst example of America doing what it should not
have done. And then it continued in Iraq. And so there are blemishes,
to be sure, on us because of things like that. But still
the people who went to serve, especially if there was a draft. But
even those who volunteered, they weren't into making political policy. They went into
making those kind of judgments. They were led serve. The country needed soldiers,
and so these people went. The draft ended. Let's see, the
draft was in Vietnam. There was no draft in Iraq. So yeah,
I think it was. I can't remember exactly when it was over, but
you really did have a volunteer army. And for me, it makes it
even more valuable to acknowledge these people. It just does the people who have
served, excuse me, go ahead, no, And it's also point out
that there's still not enough assistance when our veterans return, when our brave and
women return, there's still not enough assistants. There are still the wounds that
we see, the wounds we do not see those who never get to make
it back home to their family. There still needs to be more done,
not just in honoring our veterans, but in truly serving those who have served
for our country. You know, it bugs me, this is something that
this bugs me. When you see somebody in service and you say thank you
for your service. I'd rather know what I was thanking them for, if
they've seen combat, I think, and I don't mean this to be disrespectful.
I always feel like I have to apologize because some people take a shot
at me when I say that there's two different categories here that people who put
their lives on the line are different than those who have worked in an office
or served in a support role. So when I say thank you, it's
usually because I've had a conversation with a veteran. I know what he or
she has done. And then if you recognize the sacrifice that they have a
lot of. We look at the guys from Iraq. Legs are blown off
by those those the charges the roads, they're you know, this bombs everywhere
lost its arm legs. Oh my god, So Anyway, I just think
that it's important to remember them that way. Elizabeth Dole. The interesting thing
about more recent acknowledgments here, Bob Dole is an example of that. Those
of you. Okay, here's the test, James, do you know who
Bob Dole was. Let's see where this goes. He invented the pineapple?
What of the Dole pineapple people? Actually one of the things he was.
One of the things he was known for. He was the first official spokesperson
for viagra, and that was something that he and his wife got sort of
a kick out of. But he was also named the father of Veterans Day.
Elizabeth Dole, a wife, sort of made it more. It was
more of a plan to use him as an He lost the use of his
I think it was his leftime in I think in Korea. So anyway,
they were all kinds. Actually, next week, maybe they'd be appropriate to
spend a little time on Monday on this day, because actually next week is
National Veterans Awareness Week, So let's talk about the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier
and other things. I think this deserves more time than we can do today,
certainly, but it's yeah, it's important, It's is it an age
thing. Maybe it may be an age thing, but I'm I'm still reluctant
to just give it a sort of passing mention. I don't feel that's appropriate.
No, yeah, it's not. I totally agree with you, Doug.
I still remember being an elementary school and doing a choir and in middle
school for veterans, and whether they would come to the school or we would
go to a house for where the veterans were, and it was always just
one of those things of so powerful and even at such a young age,
and maybe it was taught that it's not still being top, but even at
such a young age, we knew the importance of what they did. It
was and is. Let's put it that way, all right. We have
a lot of strikes that have been worked out and fixed this week. One
of them, certainly the actors strike. There's another one in Las Vegas that
had somebody call me, and I guess I decided I'd put this together with
a promo pitch for the three days and two nights that you can get in
Las Vegas free by dialing eight hundred four to one nine. Doug, the
hotel workers in Los Angeles says, you've heard from Jennifer and many. I
didn't experience it. I haven't experienced it at all being there. I still
haven't found a place. So when I go out there and stay at hotels
and I haven't noticed this, but they're in Vegas. The hotel workers were
ready to go on strike and the first target was MGM Resorts International, which
happens to be the largest employer. Why they were the target on the strip
and so this went back and forth. There was a deal struck with Caesars,
so this is something that was copied at MGM, providing significant raises and
safety improvements. It was the Culinary workers union that said they were going to
go on strike. Now they got a five year agreement that covers twenty five
thousand workers at the Aria, which is a great hotel by the way,
the Bellagio, ex Caliber, Luxor, Mandalay Bay, MGM, Grand New
York, New York, and Park MGM. I've been in a High State
once. I've stayed in all those places, and of all of them,
I like the Aria best. It's a newer sort of a sort of a
hip European style hotel that was very cool. Anyway, there's been a union
in Las Vegas of hotel workers for eighty eight years, and going back to
Bugsy Seagull. All right, hey, James, you know who Bugsy Siegel
was. I feel like I'm getting beaten down today. No, put things
into perspective, that's all. No, I don't know. Bugsy was driving
through the desert. I believe it was nineteen it was the nineteen twenties.
Anyway, Bugsy was a sort of an old school mob guy from New York
and they were looking on the mob was looking for some place to go where
there wasn't any law. So Bugsy took a ride and ended up in the
middle of a desert in Nevada and said, Okay, this looks like a
good place for us to build, because you know, so they bought the
land and I forgot who it was that actually funded it. Well, it
was internally it was a mob thing, but I forget what the It may
have been the dunes, but I'm not sure that it was. But there
was a hotel that was built. Bugsy ran it, and that's how Las
Vegas got started. It was it wasn't even a road there when he found
it. And so from that point to this, you know, it has
developed one of the most famous entertainment centers in the world and people love to
go there, and thus the focus on giving you, through the folks at
five forty one Travels, the opportunity to go there, have some time,
play, rest, go to shows. You can win a ticket to a
Vegas show too, is part of this deal. Just as the operator when
you call eight hundred four six eighty four. I'm pleased with this promotion because
a lot a lot of people have gotten back to me. You're not going
to make everybody happy. Some people a look at that, sir, run
No matter how you slice it, you still get two nights and three days
free without having to pay for when you go to Vegas. So for me,
it makes it very legitimate and no purchase is needed, so you're not
extending anything. Just get yourself there and have and enjoy having those free the
free nights and the time and the food and the gambling and the shows,
whatever it is. Help yourself free expect the experience is even if you didn't
go anywhere except walk coming down this trip and look and see what's there.
It's fabulous. If you'll I think there, I mean, there's a lot
of stuff there that's not desirable for families, but there also are at a
lot of options for families too. Yeah, oh yeah, look there's something
for everyone. Yep. Eight hundred four three six eight four that number called
it. Now they're ten operators standing by eight hundred four one nine. Doug,
look at everything as though you are seeing it, either for the first
time or the last time, and then your time on earth will be filled
with glory. As set a soldier involved in veteran's day. Man, that's
the pretty poignant stuff. Here's a freak story. I get killed after get
being stuck in a cement mixer. Right, you know how in the world
you get into a cement mixer? You get stuck in a cement mixer?
Yeah, happened to do it. Yeah, a development in New York.
Construction vehicle was there. The victim, according to the news there, died
in the machine. He fell, He got entangled somehow in it. That's
kind of a you know, you've heard we were talking about Bugsy Siegull in
the mob. That's how they get rid of people. You know, there's
all that story about Jimmy Hoffer being buried in the cement under a Yankee stadium
but this is not something they were trying to do. It's just one of
those things that happened, So what a shame. Would be careful, very
careful on construction sites. The next Stefan Good Day download with Doug and Jay
