1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,400 The next Stefan Good Day Download with Doug and Jay Kirshner is made possible in 2 00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:08,039 part by Caltron, which is the safe way for you to lose weight and 3 00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:14,279 keep it off, and also by Previlegent keeping your brain healthy. Friday Ango 4 00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:18,559 Maga. All right, so we have Friday. We're here to wrap up 5 00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:22,039 the week, so to speak, on the tenth of November. It's a 6 00:00:22,039 --> 00:00:26,640 Good Day program. I'm Doug Stephan with Jay Kirshner. Have the good news 7 00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:31,320 what we have. We could probably get the theme James to the good, 8 00:00:31,879 --> 00:00:37,439 the bad, and the ugly, because we have good news, we have 9 00:00:37,719 --> 00:00:45,000 bad news, and we have ugly news. Is all right, So let's 10 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:50,159 get to the Let's get to the good news first. All right, Here's 11 00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:54,560 a sorry guy who recently came across a message in a bottle. You know 12 00:00:54,679 --> 00:00:58,560 that story. Either have been a lot of those that get tossed into a 13 00:00:58,679 --> 00:01:02,920 pond, a lake, into an ocean. In this case, this bottle 14 00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:07,840 was tossed into the Atlantic twenty six years ago as part of a school project. 15 00:01:08,719 --> 00:01:12,920 So here's this fisherman that comes along, finds the bottle on the shores 16 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:19,280 of a beach, and so the letter of the bottles opened. The letter 17 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:26,319 written in October nineteen ninety seven by Ben Lyons, a fifth grade student at 18 00:01:26,359 --> 00:01:32,239 the forest Dale School on the Cape Cape cod Massachusetts. Right. The bottle 19 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:37,959 thrown into the water at Nantucket part of a science project about ocean currents, 20 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:45,319 as you can see by looking at photos that have been on social media of 21 00:01:45,359 --> 00:01:52,359 the letter. And so it's been found by Hubert Erral, a seventy one 22 00:01:52,439 --> 00:02:00,719 year old fisherman who goes to a beach in Les Salbdorn. How's that my 23 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:06,200 frends has never been great? Anyway, So the bottle floats from the cape 24 00:02:06,799 --> 00:02:12,879 across the ocean to France. Very cool. Took them twenty five years to 25 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:17,000 get it. And so anyway, there was a teacher named Frederic Emila who 26 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:24,319 was behind this special project studying ocean currents for the youngsters. There have been 27 00:02:24,479 --> 00:02:30,280 other messages from bottles in this class that have been found in various places around 28 00:02:30,319 --> 00:02:34,280 the world, up in Greenland. Right, it's very cool. This is 29 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,800 it's so cool. Yeah, And the fact that he took the time, 30 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,759 the fisherman took the time to write back and included the original letter so that 31 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:44,919 they were able to try to locate the student, but also just that this 32 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:49,879 specific teacher, his students have had bottles found all around the world, all 33 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,520 the world. Very cool. Yep, all right, so that's the good. 34 00:02:53,719 --> 00:03:00,280 Now for the bad, there's yeah, there it is. Yeah, 35 00:03:00,759 --> 00:03:07,280 Okay, they're gonna have that handy by there, James at anytime, because 36 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,680 I'm leveling on the street at any time. Driver of a car involved in 37 00:03:10,719 --> 00:03:19,039 a collision with a bus in downtown Seattle left a woman dead twelve people injured. 38 00:03:19,759 --> 00:03:25,120 This driver has been charged with vehicular manslaughter. Thirty one year old driver 39 00:03:27,039 --> 00:03:30,599 of the car, not the driver of the bus, but the driver of 40 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:36,319 the car crashed into the bus and so the bus. Then it was such 41 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:42,680 force it pushed the bus onto the sidewalk and then into a building. This 42 00:03:42,759 --> 00:03:46,080 guy must have been going, wow, he's auie and he was of course 43 00:03:46,159 --> 00:03:52,960 drunk when he did it. The name, oftentimes in some states they don't 44 00:03:53,199 --> 00:03:59,639 release the name as now. He probably not, it's not important to twenty 45 00:03:59,639 --> 00:04:02,639 eight years a woman killed in the accident, struck by the bus while she 46 00:04:02,719 --> 00:04:10,080 was walking on a sidewalk. She lived near the scene. Died of multiple 47 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:17,800 blunt force injuries. So this guy who's driving the car gets charged as well. 48 00:04:17,879 --> 00:04:23,040 He should be charge. See. I feel like, though, when 49 00:04:23,439 --> 00:04:27,560 it comes to this, I totally understand the difference between murder and manslaughter. 50 00:04:28,079 --> 00:04:33,399 But when you are driving under the influence of yeah, when you're drunk and 51 00:04:33,439 --> 00:04:39,680 possibly on drugs, I feel like a manslaughter charge is not enough because it's 52 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:46,680 not just that your actions inadvertently cause the death of somebody else. You had 53 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,720 a weapon when you are driving the car we influence, you have a weapon, 54 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:55,600 And I feel like this is more of a murder charge than a manslaughter 55 00:04:55,680 --> 00:05:00,639 charge. But he did receive a manslaughter charge, all right, So that's 56 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:08,360 the bad. This is the ugly the story of Susannah Gibson. Anybody heard 57 00:05:08,439 --> 00:05:12,720 this? When you hear me tell the story, you may yeah, I 58 00:05:12,759 --> 00:05:18,959 heard about this lady. She was running in the fifty seventh seat of the 59 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:25,680 fifty seventh district in Virginia House of Delegates. She has conceded her race. 60 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:31,480 The attention that was drawn to the race and to her came after the release 61 00:05:32,199 --> 00:05:43,480 of a sex video with her husband and her and I may have succumbed to 62 00:05:43,639 --> 00:05:49,959 watching the video myself. As the fellow who won. A Republican named David 63 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:57,920 Owens sort of gloated about his win. This is a community the area that 64 00:05:57,959 --> 00:06:00,879 she represents or did represent, this guy now represents just a bit outside of 65 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:09,879 Richmond. And so she said that the reason that she did what she did 66 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:15,600 was to fight. She's protecting women's bodily autonomy. Oh so it wasn't like 67 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:19,399 a video link like she she put this out. She streamed it. I 68 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:23,959 said, three and a half minute thing of him and her going at it. 69 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:30,639 And it was she was It was like she was taking a call from 70 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:34,079 somebody who wanted to see her and her husband in the sack. And this 71 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,920 made it. This is a story from the Washington Post. Not like they 72 00:06:36,959 --> 00:06:43,000 weren't people paying attention to it. They live streamed the video of them in 73 00:06:43,079 --> 00:06:50,240 the sack on the website chatterbait is that okay, so not even only fans. 74 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:56,519 No, apparently I didn't do it, but they were asking the on 75 00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:01,680 the website for them to pay to watch. So she released a statement following 76 00:07:02,199 --> 00:07:08,519 the report saying that she said, I will not be intimidated and I will 77 00:07:08,519 --> 00:07:13,639 not be silenced. Well, it only goes so far. She said, 78 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:18,199 her political opponent has proven that they're willing to commit a sex crime. To 79 00:07:18,319 --> 00:07:23,360 attack me and my family because there's no line they won't cross, the silence 80 00:07:23,439 --> 00:07:28,600 women when they speak up. I guess she could have that be a loose 81 00:07:28,639 --> 00:07:30,639 interre. Clearly not enough people were offended. Or wasn't that big of a 82 00:07:30,639 --> 00:07:33,519 deal if she only lost by a small margin? Yeah, it was very 83 00:07:33,519 --> 00:07:39,519 small yep. So anyway, so there we have it, the good, 84 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:44,959 the bad, and the ugly, all right. And I don't even think 85 00:07:44,959 --> 00:07:48,480 that was ugly. She actually wasn't bad at looking Frankly, I don't know 86 00:07:48,519 --> 00:07:54,160 that. Well. Listen, I think I said enough enough of that. 87 00:07:54,639 --> 00:08:01,720 So now, even though she lost, the Democrats still one full control of 88 00:08:01,759 --> 00:08:07,079 the state House in Virginia. Interesting to see how that impacts the race next 89 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:13,879 year. Good Day program at sixteen or before sixteen. After our progressive insurance. 90 00:08:13,519 --> 00:08:16,480 Now, I want you to know, not that you don't know it 91 00:08:16,519 --> 00:08:20,480 already because you've heard this before, but just to reinforce what they have for 92 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:24,759 boats and RVs and motorcycles, cars, the whole thing. It's basic full 93 00:08:24,879 --> 00:08:30,959 protection wherever you are, whatever your vehicle. So if you want to figure 94 00:08:30,959 --> 00:08:35,159 out how this will impact you, here's the reinforcement of the number eight hundred 95 00:08:35,639 --> 00:08:43,000 Progressive and also the website reinforce the address please and the address is Progressive dot 96 00:08:43,039 --> 00:08:50,000 com today or tomorrow. This is very confusing this year the Veterans Day celebration 97 00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:56,440 for some is today, but yet November eleventh is the actual day, so 98 00:08:56,480 --> 00:09:01,799 that would be tomorrow. It was declared aired by President Wilson back in nineteen 99 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:09,679 nineteen on this date to the purpose that's demonstrated or explained then was to one 100 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:15,399 of the fallen soldiers in World War One for their sacrifice, for their bravery, 101 00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:22,720 and that still continues. Many years later, Congress adopted a resolution making 102 00:09:22,799 --> 00:09:30,600 the annual celebration November eleventh Armistice Day. Also it factors into World War Two 103 00:09:30,799 --> 00:09:35,399 as well. There was a fellow who's a VET, named Raymond Weeks who 104 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:43,480 had the idea to expand this day holiday called Armistice Day at that time to 105 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:48,519 all veterans of all wars. And if you look at the list of people 106 00:09:48,519 --> 00:09:54,679 men and women who have died in battle and service, what a list you 107 00:09:54,799 --> 00:10:00,000 think about it? I kind of I always go there's a question some confused 108 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:07,399 about whether Memorial Day in the last Monday in May is something that is akin 109 00:10:07,519 --> 00:10:11,519 to Veterans Day and The answer to that is not really, because Memorial Day 110 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:16,720 is about those who died and Veterans Day is about all who have served. 111 00:10:16,759 --> 00:10:22,080 That's basically the difference. So at eleven o'clock on November eleventh, nineteen eighteen, 112 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:28,080 the First World War ended, and so there are a lot of people 113 00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:35,159 tomorrow who are older probably understand or maybe those who have served, who will 114 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:39,039 take a moment to remember the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh 115 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:46,039 month. That's what it is, a couple of minutes of silence observed in 116 00:10:46,159 --> 00:10:54,399 those countries that had a lot of loss in the two wars I took. 117 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:58,360 On Memorial Day, we played God Bless America by Kate Smith. It certainly 118 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:03,039 is a appropriate that it was actually introduced her version of it. This is 119 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:09,639 an Irving Berlin song. Her version of God Bless America was introduced on this 120 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:13,919 date in nineteen thirty eight at the New York World's Fair. You ever go 121 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:22,080 down the road that goes that goes to LaGuardia Airport, you see a big 122 00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:26,120 globe on the left hand side. That's the place where the that's where the 123 00:11:26,159 --> 00:11:33,799 World's Fair took place. So anyway, Kate is certainly identified with this more 124 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:39,399 importantly Veterans Day for the people who have served. That's what you keep in 125 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:43,799 your mind that people are confused. Excuse me, I normally do my banking 126 00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:48,200 on Friday. I don't know whether the bank's open or not, because there 127 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,399 are a lot of people who say, ah, I don't do it, 128 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:54,679 so the banks are closed today. I had some more stories, some more 129 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:58,080 thoughts in the next half hour about Veterans Day because I think it's an important 130 00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:01,159 thing. So it's great business time for Caldron. I would think the phones 131 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:05,759 would be bringing off the hook and people would be ordering nauseum. That's right. 132 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:09,360 You know, it'll be twenty five years this April, and we've been 133 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:13,759 helping customers lose weight safely and effectively for twenty five years.

Caldron at top loss dot com thanks 143 00:12:52,159 --> 00:12:56,360 to Elizabeth Miller here, one of the great calidrinconsultants at top loss dot com. 144 00:12:56,559 --> 00:13:01,159 One tenth of the way, they're a rude month, thirty days hath 145 00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:05,360 November, and that's not really how it goes April, May and September. 146 00:13:05,399 --> 00:13:09,080 It's really thirty days haf September, April, May and November. But I 147 00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:15,639 switched it around because it seemed convenient in artistic liberty very much so, yes, 148 00:13:15,759 --> 00:13:20,600 right, okay, Speaking of an artist and artistic liberty, Kelly Clarkson 149 00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:28,600 wants to re record a song called Better with Age, and she wants to 150 00:13:28,639 --> 00:13:35,440 record some other early hits. So she's looking back on her early songs and 151 00:13:35,519 --> 00:13:39,559 we'll find out why she thinks she needs to re record them. Kind of 152 00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:43,480 an interesting story, That's why we tell those. The interesting stories are the 153 00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:46,879 ones that we aim for here, folks. The idea here the album ought 154 00:13:46,879 --> 00:13:50,399 to be called better with age, right, don't you think that's what she 155 00:13:50,639 --> 00:13:54,519 Oh, yeah, it'd be great. That's more experience. Yeah, right, 156 00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:58,240 So some of the early songs that she had. I still find it 157 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:05,919 interesting her connection with American Idol and how she is kind of created on that 158 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:11,279 program. How many other people have been as successful as she has been as 159 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:16,039 a result of being on that program. Carrie un carry on, Okay, 160 00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:20,720 but those are the first immediate too. There are some other people who Katherine 161 00:14:20,759 --> 00:14:24,120 mcpae is pretty successful, but I think the absolute most would be Kelly Clarkson 162 00:14:24,159 --> 00:14:26,480 and Krrie Underwood. And Kelly was the OG, she was the very first 163 00:14:26,519 --> 00:14:31,360 one. And I think this is such a cool idea because well, Kelly 164 00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:33,639 can still hit those notes. Let's be real, she can still hit those 165 00:14:33,639 --> 00:14:35,440 notes she was singing when she was younger. But a lot of artists who 166 00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:41,720 are fortunate enough to have longevity in their career sometimes can't perform the earlier versions 167 00:14:41,759 --> 00:14:46,039 of songs the same way, so they have to change them up their vocal 168 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,759 cords. They just can't hit some of the notes, they can't hold them. 169 00:14:48,519 --> 00:14:52,120 But before Taylor Swift started doing re records, when she was still in 170 00:14:52,159 --> 00:14:56,360 that battle to own her own music. Kelly Clarkson was one of the people. 171 00:14:56,399 --> 00:14:58,840 I can't remember if she took to social media or if she said this 172 00:14:58,919 --> 00:15:01,840 on her show, but she was like, go re record your music and 173 00:15:01,879 --> 00:15:05,039 then you'll own it. And it seems like Kelly's taking her own advice now 174 00:15:05,039 --> 00:15:07,840 of like gonna, I'm going to go re record my old music too, 175 00:15:09,039 --> 00:15:11,240 not only to own it. Yeah. Well, when you say own it, 176 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:16,360 did she have an issue with the company that first released the songs like 177 00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:20,200 Taylor swifted or is this just I don't know if that's the case. Yeah, 178 00:15:20,559 --> 00:15:22,200 I say, I don't know if that's the case, if she's trying 179 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:24,120 to own her own music, if she doesn't own her own music, I 180 00:15:24,159 --> 00:15:26,799 don't know where Kelly stands on that. But for Kelly, it's more artistic 181 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:30,799 where she feels like she could do better with a lot of these songs, 182 00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:33,519 and for instance, on Misindependent, she even says like it's young Kelly, 183 00:15:33,639 --> 00:15:39,000 she's green, she can go stronger now. And I think that it's more 184 00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:41,919 of a she feels like she can make the songs better period, and that's 185 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,200 her motive for wanting to re record. I see she's going to get her 186 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:50,519 own channel on Serious XM. She should it's interesting. Yeah, there's somebody 187 00:15:50,559 --> 00:15:54,480 else who got a channel on Series X some of there heard this weekend Carrie 188 00:15:54,559 --> 00:15:58,039 Underwood has one. Oh so somebody else over the weekend. Yeah, somebody 189 00:15:58,159 --> 00:16:02,600 got channel seventy four. I remember hearing a conversation about it on one of 190 00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:06,200 the other chances that I don't remember who now, I just remember Channel seventy 191 00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:10,159 four. Isn't that interesting. I'm Greg. I'm sixty eight years old. 192 00:16:10,559 --> 00:16:12,799 I grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, majored in business administration. I do 193 00:16:12,879 --> 00:16:18,440 motivational speaking in addition to substitute teaching. Part of the reason for my motivational 194 00:16:18,519 --> 00:16:21,879 speaking is I kind of feel like I have a calling or giving back to 195 00:16:21,919 --> 00:16:25,080 the younger generation. You know, the golden rule is doing to others you'd 196 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:29,000 have them doing to you. My wife, Wanda, as a senior flight 197 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,840 attendant. She's been flying for over thirty years. We do laugh quite a 198 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:37,159 bit. I think most adults will start realizing that they don't recall things as 199 00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:41,240 quickly as they used to, or they don't remember things as vividly as they 200 00:16:41,279 --> 00:16:45,200 once did. I've been taking privilegen for about three years now people say to 201 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:51,360 me periodical, Man, you got a memory like an alphant. It's really 202 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:56,759 really helped me tremendously. Privagen healthier brain, better life. Greg Freeley is 203 00:16:56,759 --> 00:17:00,879 a paid testimonialist and real Privilegen user. Based on the clinic study of subgroups 204 00:17:00,919 --> 00:17:03,920 of individuals who were cognitively normal or mildly impaired. This product is not intended 205 00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:07,880 to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Smokey one of 206 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:15,680 the most prolific writers, producers, singers, performers. Does he deserve a 207 00:17:15,759 --> 00:17:18,279 channel like Elvis has? Oh? No, we were. The reason we 208 00:17:18,319 --> 00:17:22,480 talked about is because we were talking about Kelly Clarkson a getting she should her 209 00:17:22,799 --> 00:17:27,319 channel owned channel as a lady who's got it all together. I kind of 210 00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:30,160 like Kelly clarks I always have. In fact. All right, here we 211 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:36,160 are Friday on the Good Day Program with Jay Kershner, and we're talking a 212 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:41,920 lot appropriately about veteran's day. It will be tomorrow, so here we are 213 00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:48,960 remembering why we remember. I think that this is something The articles that are 214 00:17:49,279 --> 00:17:55,119 written about what happened precisely at eleven am on November eleventh, nineteen eighteen. 215 00:17:56,279 --> 00:18:00,720 The piece that came, it wasn't really Actually the League of Nations was formed 216 00:18:00,759 --> 00:18:07,400 after that was the predecessor to the United Nations, and they weren't really very 217 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:11,880 smart about how they did things. They really socked it to Germany as to 218 00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:17,559 the point where the Germans could hardly live, and thus made it really very 219 00:18:17,599 --> 00:18:19,240 easy for right Off Hitler to come in and say, look at what's going 220 00:18:19,279 --> 00:18:26,599 on here. And so since the seeds of World War two were sown at 221 00:18:26,599 --> 00:18:33,759 the end of World War One, and so people didn't quite understand the reality 222 00:18:33,039 --> 00:18:38,200 anyway. So that's not really what the day is all about. What the 223 00:18:38,279 --> 00:18:45,039 day is all about, or the people who gave their lives, the people 224 00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:51,160 who served, whether they gave their lives, they oftentimes you've seen people. 225 00:18:51,519 --> 00:18:56,720 It's certainly in our lifetime, my lifetime. From Vietnam, it wasn't so 226 00:18:56,799 --> 00:19:00,720 much Korea because it wasn't the same kind of a war, different kind of 227 00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:04,039 a war that was fought with the Koreans north and south, the Chinese communists 228 00:19:04,079 --> 00:19:11,119 back then trying to take over Korea. So the business of Vietnam and what 229 00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:17,200 it was the same scenario is Korea only thirteen fourteen years later, where the 230 00:19:17,279 --> 00:19:21,799 Chinese tried to take over. We kept them from taking over Korea. So 231 00:19:21,839 --> 00:19:26,160 they went to Vietnam and tried to take that over, and we all know 232 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:30,200 what happened there. It was probably the most obnoxious. Isn't a strong enough 233 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:36,440 word. But it was the worst example of America doing what it should not 234 00:19:36,559 --> 00:19:42,279 have done. And then it continued in Iraq. And so there are blemishes, 235 00:19:42,319 --> 00:19:48,559 to be sure, on us because of things like that. But still 236 00:19:48,599 --> 00:19:51,759 the people who went to serve, especially if there was a draft. But 237 00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:56,960 even those who volunteered, they weren't into making political policy. They went into 238 00:19:56,960 --> 00:20:03,119 making those kind of judgments. They were led serve. The country needed soldiers, 239 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:07,400 and so these people went. The draft ended. Let's see, the 240 00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:12,160 draft was in Vietnam. There was no draft in Iraq. So yeah, 241 00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:15,279 I think it was. I can't remember exactly when it was over, but 242 00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:22,359 you really did have a volunteer army. And for me, it makes it 243 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:27,279 even more valuable to acknowledge these people. It just does the people who have 244 00:20:27,759 --> 00:20:32,680 served, excuse me, go ahead, no, And it's also point out 245 00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:37,279 that there's still not enough assistance when our veterans return, when our brave and 246 00:20:37,319 --> 00:20:41,839 women return, there's still not enough assistants. There are still the wounds that 247 00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:44,400 we see, the wounds we do not see those who never get to make 248 00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:48,359 it back home to their family. There still needs to be more done, 249 00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:52,599 not just in honoring our veterans, but in truly serving those who have served 250 00:20:52,599 --> 00:20:56,200 for our country. You know, it bugs me, this is something that 251 00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:03,559 this bugs me. When you see somebody in service and you say thank you 252 00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:07,079 for your service. I'd rather know what I was thanking them for, if 253 00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:11,680 they've seen combat, I think, and I don't mean this to be disrespectful. 254 00:21:12,039 --> 00:21:15,880 I always feel like I have to apologize because some people take a shot 255 00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:19,759 at me when I say that there's two different categories here that people who put 256 00:21:19,799 --> 00:21:25,000 their lives on the line are different than those who have worked in an office 257 00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:32,119 or served in a support role. So when I say thank you, it's 258 00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:34,039 usually because I've had a conversation with a veteran. I know what he or 259 00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:41,240 she has done. And then if you recognize the sacrifice that they have a 260 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:45,559 lot of. We look at the guys from Iraq. Legs are blown off 261 00:21:45,599 --> 00:21:52,640 by those those the charges the roads, they're you know, this bombs everywhere 262 00:21:53,119 --> 00:22:00,519 lost its arm legs. Oh my god, So Anyway, I just think 263 00:22:00,559 --> 00:22:10,440 that it's important to remember them that way. Elizabeth Dole. The interesting thing 264 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:15,359 about more recent acknowledgments here, Bob Dole is an example of that. Those 265 00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:18,519 of you. Okay, here's the test, James, do you know who 266 00:22:18,559 --> 00:22:25,160 Bob Dole was. Let's see where this goes. He invented the pineapple? 267 00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:32,519 What of the Dole pineapple people? Actually one of the things he was. 268 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:36,880 One of the things he was known for. He was the first official spokesperson 269 00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:41,480 for viagra, and that was something that he and his wife got sort of 270 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:45,240 a kick out of. But he was also named the father of Veterans Day. 271 00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:52,680 Elizabeth Dole, a wife, sort of made it more. It was 272 00:22:52,799 --> 00:22:56,160 more of a plan to use him as an He lost the use of his 273 00:22:56,319 --> 00:23:03,559 I think it was his leftime in I think in Korea. So anyway, 274 00:23:03,599 --> 00:23:07,599 they were all kinds. Actually, next week, maybe they'd be appropriate to 275 00:23:07,599 --> 00:23:11,160 spend a little time on Monday on this day, because actually next week is 276 00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:15,680 National Veterans Awareness Week, So let's talk about the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier 277 00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:21,839 and other things. I think this deserves more time than we can do today, 278 00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:27,640 certainly, but it's yeah, it's important, It's is it an age 279 00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:33,200 thing. Maybe it may be an age thing, but I'm I'm still reluctant 280 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:37,680 to just give it a sort of passing mention. I don't feel that's appropriate. 281 00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:41,480 No, yeah, it's not. I totally agree with you, Doug. 282 00:23:41,519 --> 00:23:45,759 I still remember being an elementary school and doing a choir and in middle 283 00:23:45,799 --> 00:23:49,720 school for veterans, and whether they would come to the school or we would 284 00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:56,440 go to a house for where the veterans were, and it was always just 285 00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:59,039 one of those things of so powerful and even at such a young age, 286 00:23:59,079 --> 00:24:00,279 and maybe it was taught that it's not still being top, but even at 287 00:24:00,319 --> 00:24:07,880 such a young age, we knew the importance of what they did. It 288 00:24:08,039 --> 00:24:12,319 was and is. Let's put it that way, all right. We have 289 00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:18,720 a lot of strikes that have been worked out and fixed this week. One 290 00:24:18,759 --> 00:24:23,200 of them, certainly the actors strike. There's another one in Las Vegas that 291 00:24:23,319 --> 00:24:27,039 had somebody call me, and I guess I decided I'd put this together with 292 00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:30,519 a promo pitch for the three days and two nights that you can get in 293 00:24:30,559 --> 00:24:34,920 Las Vegas free by dialing eight hundred four to one nine. Doug, the 294 00:24:36,039 --> 00:24:40,720 hotel workers in Los Angeles says, you've heard from Jennifer and many. I 295 00:24:40,759 --> 00:24:42,960 didn't experience it. I haven't experienced it at all being there. I still 296 00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:45,319 haven't found a place. So when I go out there and stay at hotels 297 00:24:45,759 --> 00:24:49,240 and I haven't noticed this, but they're in Vegas. The hotel workers were 298 00:24:49,279 --> 00:24:57,079 ready to go on strike and the first target was MGM Resorts International, which 299 00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:02,039 happens to be the largest employer. Why they were the target on the strip 300 00:25:03,039 --> 00:25:07,599 and so this went back and forth. There was a deal struck with Caesars, 301 00:25:08,559 --> 00:25:15,119 so this is something that was copied at MGM, providing significant raises and 302 00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:19,440 safety improvements. It was the Culinary workers union that said they were going to 303 00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:23,359 go on strike. Now they got a five year agreement that covers twenty five 304 00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:27,480 thousand workers at the Aria, which is a great hotel by the way, 305 00:25:27,839 --> 00:25:33,720 the Bellagio, ex Caliber, Luxor, Mandalay Bay, MGM, Grand New 306 00:25:33,799 --> 00:25:37,720 York, New York, and Park MGM. I've been in a High State 307 00:25:37,799 --> 00:25:41,079 once. I've stayed in all those places, and of all of them, 308 00:25:41,599 --> 00:25:47,160 I like the Aria best. It's a newer sort of a sort of a 309 00:25:47,279 --> 00:25:52,319 hip European style hotel that was very cool. Anyway, there's been a union 310 00:25:52,839 --> 00:25:57,119 in Las Vegas of hotel workers for eighty eight years, and going back to 311 00:25:57,160 --> 00:26:02,200 Bugsy Seagull. All right, hey, James, you know who Bugsy Siegel 312 00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:08,200 was. I feel like I'm getting beaten down today. No, put things 313 00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:14,039 into perspective, that's all. No, I don't know. Bugsy was driving 314 00:26:14,079 --> 00:26:18,119 through the desert. I believe it was nineteen it was the nineteen twenties. 315 00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:25,680 Anyway, Bugsy was a sort of an old school mob guy from New York 316 00:26:25,799 --> 00:26:30,319 and they were looking on the mob was looking for some place to go where 317 00:26:30,319 --> 00:26:34,079 there wasn't any law. So Bugsy took a ride and ended up in the 318 00:26:34,079 --> 00:26:37,799 middle of a desert in Nevada and said, Okay, this looks like a 319 00:26:37,799 --> 00:26:41,359 good place for us to build, because you know, so they bought the 320 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:47,599 land and I forgot who it was that actually funded it. Well, it 321 00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:51,079 was internally it was a mob thing, but I forget what the It may 322 00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:52,640 have been the dunes, but I'm not sure that it was. But there 323 00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:57,359 was a hotel that was built. Bugsy ran it, and that's how Las 324 00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:02,640 Vegas got started. It was it wasn't even a road there when he found 325 00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:06,720 it. And so from that point to this, you know, it has 326 00:27:06,799 --> 00:27:14,519 developed one of the most famous entertainment centers in the world and people love to 327 00:27:14,599 --> 00:27:19,160 go there, and thus the focus on giving you, through the folks at 328 00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:22,920 five forty one Travels, the opportunity to go there, have some time, 329 00:27:23,079 --> 00:27:27,119 play, rest, go to shows. You can win a ticket to a 330 00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:30,279 Vegas show too, is part of this deal. Just as the operator when 331 00:27:30,319 --> 00:27:36,480 you call eight hundred four six eighty four. I'm pleased with this promotion because 332 00:27:36,519 --> 00:27:38,799 a lot a lot of people have gotten back to me. You're not going 333 00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:42,160 to make everybody happy.

Help yourself free expect the experience is even if you didn't 340 00:28:14,319 --> 00:28:18,319 go anywhere except walk coming down this trip and look and see what's there. 341 00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:22,240 It's fabulous. If you'll I think there, I mean, there's a lot 342 00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:26,319 of stuff there that's not desirable for families, but there also are at a 343 00:28:26,319 --> 00:28:30,440 lot of options for families too. Yeah, oh yeah, look there's something 344 00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:36,119 for everyone. Yep. Eight hundred four three six eight four that number called 345 00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:40,160 it. Now they're ten operators standing by eight hundred four one nine. Doug, 346 00:28:41,119 --> 00:28:44,519 look at everything as though you are seeing it, either for the first 347 00:28:44,559 --> 00:28:48,599 time or the last time, and then your time on earth will be filled 348 00:28:48,079 --> 00:28:52,160 with glory. As set a soldier involved in veteran's day. Man, that's 349 00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:59,839 the pretty poignant stuff. Here's a freak story. I get killed after get 350 00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:03,000 being stuck in a cement mixer. Right, you know how in the world 351 00:29:03,039 --> 00:29:06,559 you get into a cement mixer? You get stuck in a cement mixer? 352 00:29:06,759 --> 00:29:11,119 Yeah, happened to do it. Yeah, a development in New York. 353 00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:18,440 Construction vehicle was there. The victim, according to the news there, died 354 00:29:18,599 --> 00:29:22,559 in the machine. He fell, He got entangled somehow in it. That's 355 00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:27,000 kind of a you know, you've heard we were talking about Bugsy Siegull in 356 00:29:27,039 --> 00:29:30,359 the mob. That's how they get rid of people. You know, there's 357 00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:34,799 all that story about Jimmy Hoffer being buried in the cement under a Yankee stadium 358 00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:38,000 but this is not something they were trying to do. It's just one of 359 00:29:38,039 --> 00:29:42,279 those things that happened, So what a shame. Would be careful, very 360 00:29:42,319 --> 00:29:47,880 careful on construction sites.
