The next Stephen Good Day download with Doug and Jay Kirshner is made possible in
part by kelatrn, which is the safe way for you to lose weight and
keep it off, and also by privigent keeping your brain healthy, what information,
upgrading your head and whatever else is going on in your world? With
four, it's you know what it is? With me, Jay, it's
the English. It's me sharpening my own skills, are keeping them sharp.
And everybody else's everybody or not everybody. Too many people say it's information,
it's not info. It's in four for you, Oh fabulous, there you
are with another home run. It is for you and for me. For
you sounds like a song. And me the tenth of May were one third
of the way through the month of May. I'm a poet and I don't
know it right. You got that, one third of the way through the
month of May, the merry, merry month of May. Also, is
anybody else still writing that it's April? Because I still catch myself writing four
for April instead of five for May. On everything, yeah, right,
exactly, well, you can fix that. Each of us is a carving,
like a carving in stone. We are like a column or a piece
of stained glass. In the construction of the world, we are a part
of something much bigger than ourselves. Something to think about as you go through
your day. If there are egotists among us, and I'm sure there are,
the idea is to give others credit, others attention, because you're not
alone and sometimes you need As a matter of fact, most of the time,
I can't think of a circumstance where people can actually survive on their own.
Can you think about it for a second? You can't do it?
Well, yeah, up to a certain point. Now, yeah, yeah,
I think there's a lot of people who have needed to survive on their
own unfortunately. Well yeah, and that well, I guess it would depend
on the definition of surviving on your own. If you know you have food
needs, you don't grow all your own food, right, You don't make
all your own clothing For the most part, you don't. It's that sort
of thing. What do you depend Who do you Maybe more than what,
who do you depend on in some way, shape or form. You just
think about the people that you're around every day. Maybe that you work with,
your friends, some people. I know a lady who is very close
to someone that I know, and the two of them are like your sisters,
and so one of them was very sick recently and the other took care
because the first person couldn't, so the other person did. And that's true
love. I think dedication however you want to. One woman had a bad,
bad, bad bout with breast cancer, and that brings me around to
looking at the circumstance. It's pretty significant stuff here for women. Now.
The recommendation is that you be screened for breast cancer at age forty. This
is for all women of all sizes and shapes. It would appear the task
force that came up with this Jay shared the draft of the new recommendations,
and it seems to have become top of mind not only for all women but
people in general, because breast cancer is such a big thing. It certainly
was and has been with me. My wife died of the impact of having
breastcancer when she was forty four. She was staged four then and lived for
twenty one years after that, not well, but she made it to sixty
five. My sister, oldest sister, had it. My younger sister had
another kind of cancer that was pretty devastating to her face and it didn't begin
though. Its breast cancer. I think you and I no. I was
talking to somebody else about this yesterday when this information came out. My daughter
was screened. They do whatever that test is to find out if you inherit
it. No, it's not the man, yeah, right to see if
she had it, and she didn't, fortunately, But man, I'm told
by some women that mamogramming is uncomfortable, unpleasant, and that there are better
ways of looking for and the fact that mamograms aren't really that good for early
early detection of breast cancer. It's a it's a tool, but is it
the best tool and a lot of people that I know think it's not.
And then if there's also breast density, and if you have denser breasts,
it's hard for the mammogram to see if there is anything going on. Yeah,
well there that's the thing. So it's a it's a step, but
this is sort of tradition. You don't want to due to breast cancer.
That's number one. And you look at this and all of the news angles
coming from me. Yep, let's do this. Let's make sure this is
conventional stuff. But it's it's not leading edge as Ken Kronhaus would say,
we'll talk about this, by the way, this week on the Good Day
Health segment, Doctor Ken Kronhaus in his usual one hour overviewing what's going on,
what the new studies are, what he's been researching, and he's clinic
down in Florida. And I know this will come up as an important first
step, but it's not the only one, and certainly there are other ways.
But I think the change here the news is it's forty and it had
been a fifty. I think end it been to have your first check out,
first mamogram. Yes, yeah, I was fifty for a while.
I think some people do it at forty five. Yeah, but it's just
one of those things that really isn't ever too early. Isn't the number of
an age ever really too early to just be safe? Well, the other
saturday is how old? What's too late? By the time you're seventy five,
you're going to get it probably, so I think insurance stops paying for
it at seventy five. I know they do with men checking prostates for a
prostate cancer at seventy five, that's it. If you're older than that,
they don't check. I've had my every year in the exam, he's prostate
checked. And my doctor said to me, he said, the last time
he did, we oh, I'm never going to check that again. And
I looked down and said, why what do you mean? Insurance doesn't cover
it because they don't think at seventy five you haven't got it yet, you're
not going to get it, and if you do, it'll be so slow,
it won't be the thing that kills you. So okay, And that
seems to go for breastancer. Don't you still want some kind of Oh yeah,
I'm checked. Yeah. Yeah. It's not the most pleasant thing in
the world to have somebody stick their finger up here butt, but it does
prove to be significantly important as you get older. So I don't think there
is the is a mammogram the equivalent of that doesn't hurt. Have you had
yours done yet? Or I I have not? But they're basically smashing your
boobs between yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You have a whole lot
of stuff that we have to have done that. I think multiple things are
the equivalent of the prostitus. Yeah, probably, But isn't an MRI a
better? It's more expensive, but it's better because it's more thorough. It
checks into you know, it looks, it gets there. If you're dense,
then it gets through to all of the tissues. So but anyway,
this is something a lot of people are talking about, and as I said,
we'll talk about that along with many other things with the Doctor Ken this
week on Good Day Health. And if you're if you're a listener of fashion,
or if you're here and wait a minute, what's the story? Who's
this guy? Doctor Ken? Doctor Cronhaus is a cardiologist, but he's a
great general practitioner as well, and so we have an hour with him every
week. Good Day Health of podcast is in terms of what's been there and
what's important. The most recent one, just for your information, is a
focus in part on doctor burnout, not there's not a wait a minute,
let me say that in a different way. There's not a man named doctor
burnout. There's doctor burning. How do I turn this around? And there's
a problem because doctors are quitting early, retiring early because they don't have the
oomph that they did. COVID wiped a lot of them out. So we
talk about that, We talk about government intervention in medical care, and a
little bit more about long covid because the impacts seems to continue with lingering around
and heart disease, because that's his specialty. Is always something that's on the
table and the Good Day Health Show. Get it at Good Day Health Show
or wherever you get your podcasts and catch up. Doctor kenn is really good
about, like explaining difference between type one and type two diabetes. That's been
a recent conversation, and the variants that are around still for covid um.
I find that more of that stuff is used to scare tactics than anything else.
Frankly so, at any rate, that's a listening note for those of
you love at the same stage to carry good day, carry good day,
help thactfully and good for you and good for me. All right, So
let's see from mammograms to George Santos, is that a now you know what
I think I'll hold on. I get what you're doing, dada. The
state of New York has passed the first statewide ban on fossil fuel in new
construction. Here we go, what are they gonna They don't have an option,
they don't have what you could you should be using. They just tell
you you can't use this. So this is supposedly according to the state,
Helfers and Puffers in New Yor are groundbreaking legislating legislation mandating all electric new construction,
making it the first state to prohibit using fossil fuels and buildings. But
you dummy's fossil fuel unless you have a wind tower in the back or you've
you've got solar power on the roof. The fossil fuels are being used to
make the electricity. This is the folly of all of this. The all
electric building, as many of you know. Have you heard me talking about
this residential development that I'm involved in here in my hometown or building sixty three
units, and we're going to make it all electric, but we are going
to provide gas for things that are needed. We're going to have solar panels
on all of the out buildings and homes themselves, so will be self sufficient.
But it kind of reminds me of conversation I had with somebody yesterday too
who had an electric car, and he got me on this one, which
is good because it opened up my I tended to be sort of universal in
my thinking. So he charges his new tesla up at his home and he
has solar power at his home, so he's not using the fossil fuel.
He's using the fuel that's stored in the batteries that come from the sun.
So for me, that makes good sense. I think that's yes. And
especially if there is some kind of power outage or rolling blackouts or anything that
happens, he is still getting that electricity. Yep. But does that solve
problem? Does that cut greenhouse gas emissions sooner or later? Yeah? And
the business of indoor pollution with gas, that's what a lot of people are
worried about. That's why New York State, I think, was the first
one to band using gas powered stoves in a new constructions right, that's right.
Yeah, So anyway, that's for all new homes that are built in
the state of New York. That's it. Okay. Morgan Wallen a country
singer who's been in and out of people's minds and has had his own problems.
He's got a tour that's been scheduled, but he's not going to be
able to go out because of a problem with his vocal cords, and so
he's put off his tour for six weeks. But he doesn't feel like his
voice has been permanently damaged, which is good. I mean, that's his
livelihood. But what did he get into trouble for. I forget he said
something stupidest. Well, yeah, there was kind of a slew of things
where he was almost arrested for drunken disorderly conduct Nashville. And then he was
supposed to be performing on snl a's musical guest during COVID stuff and he broke
their protocol so they had to ditch him. And then he had a slur
that was caught on video and essentially not fully canceled, but kind of like
putting a time out for a little bit. Well, and then recently he
was he had to cancel a show at the last minute, and there were
allegations that it was just because he was too drunk to go on, and
he was saying no, he had a sore throat, he was having issues.
And then eventually he has had to announce it that he had to cancel
a bunch of shows. He thought he was doing okay after ten days of
vocal rest. He performed for three nights and on the third night he just
felt like his voice was shot. It wasn't good. He went and got
scoped, and sure enough he is. He's having these issues, so he
has to get that taken care of. But fortunately it's not going to be
permanently damaging. And also, I'm, regardless of how I feel about Morgan
Wallen, good for him for not trying to push through it. I have
been to concerts where the singer, the lead snarer, has a sore throat
and they try to push through it, and it's an awful show. One
artist ended up just acknowledging that they just started drinking a bunch of whiskey to
make their throat feel better. So they were absolutely showed on stage. It
was awful enough to make me, or even a fan of that band,
I won't even listen to them anymore. Did you get their main You didn't
get your money back? Though, No, I didn't get my money back.
All right, Well that's the update on Morgan Wallen. I saw something
interesting this morning that caught my eye. Apparently Marcia gay Harden, who I
think is one of the great actresses. She's got that new TV show,
has three children that are all gay, and so she's been talking about that
in her support an advocate in fact for LGBTQ, things I thought it was
interesting that she put it the way she did. My children are all queer
quote from Marcia gay Harden. The disco here that was my I loved as
a disc jockey in the sixties and seventies. The music that I played has
become a part of my life, I mean, really ingrained. So I
like listening to the sixties channel as much as I do. But when it
comes to disco the clothing, and that was said you would have, you'd
be in hysterics if you could see some of the outfits, some of the
pictures of the outfits that I used to wear, and even when I was
a teacher, because that disco here had just sort of started, So the
bell bottom polyester pants and the Nehru jackets and things like that. Actually,
you should go through your father's closet sometime, Jay and see what he's hiding
in there. I'm betting that there's some stuff in there he's hidden, Oh
my god, moldy early good. He goal is from his rusty rack of
wrinkled records that I'm sure I would show up. Although your mother, I'm
looking forward to meeting your mother because we're gonna have a brunch next month,
I have not I haven't not met her, and and I everything I hear
about her. What I what I like the most is that your father and
mother seemed to be very much connected still after all these years, which is
yeah, right, exactly, No, it's not under the circumstances. All
right, here's the good news for those of you who live in certain parts
of the country. Maybe this is for those who live in certain parts of
the country that um, we don't you know, we're we're always striving to
figure out how to last longer. Right, So there is a survey out
today of where you'll live the longest, and this is not good news for
the South. People in southern states die eight years younger than the average.
How about that food, well, I must be some of it anyway.
This was research conducted by nice RX, which is an online pharmacy Americans living
for seventy nine years now on average, in Mississippi you only live to be
seventy one, and in Hawaii you live to be eighty. This is the
These are the regions. So if we're to be a little more specific,
okay, so in Minnesota, Washington, Oregon, California, see, these
are the places where you live the longest in terms of states in the United
States, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Rhode Island, Minnesota, Colorado,
Utah, and all the states on the West coast. The average life
expectancy is seventy nine point one year old. Okay, and that's the oldest.
Well, no, that's the average. That's the average, right exactly.
The average across the country is about seventy eight. So you live a
year long. We've lived in those places on average. I'm just taking averages
in Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, those places mostly in the Upper
Midwest, the average is seventy seven point seven years. Nevada and Arizona seventy
six point three, Alaska seventy six point six. Texas there where you are
James seventy six point five, Louisiana seventy three, Arkansas seventy three, Kentucky
seventy three, Tennessee seventy is it seventy one? Wow, Mississippi seventy one.
That's those two states, is the those are the shortest lifespans in our
country here in those two states. Wow. Luna Bunga, Georgia, South
Carolina not much better. So if you want to be happy for the rest
of your life and live a long life. I guess the secret is to
go to go to Hawaii. I can imagine that where I've said this any
number of times. I'm a partner in a radio station deal over in Kauai,
and I have every time I go to Hawaii. I think it is
it's magnificence. It's it is. You know you if you look at some
of the stories about World War two and Pearl Harbor and then you see how
everything has been reconstructed and see how beautiful. But it isn't even the buildings.
Just sit on the beach and watch a sunset on any of the Hawaiian
islands and it changes through your life. It does. It really does.
Very cool. It's yeah, yeah, it really is. Okay, so
critical race theory, do we feel like we want to talk about this or
not? You got you kind of got me thinking about it with you with
um, well, and it's not the same. A lot of people are
confusing this with the conversation about sexuality and stuff, but they're two different things,
but they kind of come at the same time. And a you're the
same way, yes or no, you agree with that statement? Of my
contention that we talked about Oscar Oscar good duck about Marcia gay Harden, who
is an Oscar winner, by the way, and she is somehow or other,
has got a lot of attentions. You're interviewed by somebody because of her
advocacy for LGBTQ things, and she says her children are queer, and you
went through the three of them and how they're all different. Now that's one
thing, But then there is this whole business about critical race theory, which
in my mind tell me that I'm wrong or I'm right, is about in
part reparations and and what you deserve if you come from a certain background.
And then there is you know, the the racial this suppose that he's going
to promote racial healing. I don't think it does. I think it further
divides us. Frank Well, I think it continues conversations that I think everybody
can agree conversations should be had, yes, a period just into the general
blanket statement of conversations. Yes, And it takes that away. It takes
away this is the absolute right. This is the absolute and it's not absolute,
and it's not right, and it's not fair. It just seems to
be. It sort of points to why or how we've become a little more
socialistic. I think as time goes on, especially with this administration, very
socialistic and some of the ideas, some of the socialist ideas are good,
they're helpful, but because the government takes on all of this stuff, and
you know, there's a certain move meant to because with some thinkers, capitalism
is bad, socialism is good. Do we take everything and divide it up
and everybody gets the same thing? You know? How dumb? That is
why it's dumb. Why should I, for example, we kind of all
do because in our taxes, we pay for this theory to be put into
practice. So a lot of our tax dollars go to social programs that many
of us may not agree with because it stifles it's creativity. You know.
You Okay, I can stay home and make as much money as if I
go to work in McDonald's for fifteen dollars and hours. So let's stay home
and play games. That's really what you're That's what's going on here. Well,
and a lot of people don't like critical race theory because of the belief
that it is designed to make white people feel guilt or bad. Yeah,
it's not law. Yeah yeah, and that's not what it and that's not
what it is period, that's not what it is at all. But it's
just this misconception. And I blame social media because somebody will spew off their
opinions other people run with it without doing any proper research about any of it.
It is about how laws and political and social movements and even the media
is shaped by social conceptions of race and ethnicity. It's looking at that and
having conversations regarding that. It's not pointing blame necessarily on any individual people in
current time, but there is a lot of systemic racism that still does exist.
Yeah, it does in fact, So how do we figure this out?
We don't figure it out by having it forced on us. Education does
not include or does it mean that you are told this is the way it
is. Get yourself educated. No, you understand what the realities in the
world are. Educate yourself. And this is one of the issues in public
schools. Frankly, the number and I'm looking at some information that came from
Summit, which is a school. It's what do they call these like a
testing But it's not really as there are counselors for setting up a curriculum in
schools. All right, So the question was asked, what do you believe
we should invest our time in and as far as the public schools are concerned
and all that, like, seventy percent of the respondents has said we need
to spend more time teaching math and science rather than cultural issues. And I
guess their reference is to critical race theory. Here a thirty percent believe more
culture should be taught. But that's a value you should I don't believe you
should be teaching values in school. That's for your home life. In school,
you'll learn how to count, you'll learn how to put a sentence together,
you learn the scientific theories. You learn how the country or the world
was built. What the history is that kind of stuff, I thinks,
right, check exactly, what's practical? What are you supposed to right?
Yeah, exactly. So when it comes to history, is that those should
be lessons too. We need to be educated in what happened in the past.
I'll across the board on all last. We make the same mistakes,
right, that old expression. So don't understand history. You're doomed to repeat
the failures, all right, So you were just talking about money. And
as we focus on most everybody I know who's in the banking business thinks the
Fed made a huge mistake last week by upping the interest rates one more quarter
of a point. It's affecting. It's good because people are putting money into
the bank so they can loan money out. But what are you investing in
if you don't put your money in the bank. Where are people putting their
money their retirement accounts, that sort of investment accounts. Where are they doing
it? And a lot of people are turning to local investments instead of doing
the big national stuff. They want to, you know, buy this that
this is something that has become a phenomenon. I know around here anyway.
A lot of people are investing in redevelopment. There are a number of tax
free entities that are encouraging people to invest, and there's a good return,
like seven eight nine percent. That's a pretty dog on good return. Anyway.
The reason that it hasn't been done a lot in the past is because,
believe it or not, it's been illegal for most people who invest locally.
Because it wasn't I wouldn't say illegal, but they just didn't get you
didn't get a credit for it. You didn't get tax credit. And so
now there's an interest in there's a thing called investment crowdfunding. Tell me when
I get too far into the weeds here, Jay, I'm looking at this
stuff as someone who is involved in trying to rebuild a certain part of my
community. And you know, everybody's looking for folks who will invest in mission
driven businesses that will help the local economy. That's how Bandage Jerry's got started.
By the way, did you know that that's fascinating. Yeah, that's
how they all. They had a gas station, the two of them.
This is a great story. They Ben and Jerry's had a gas station.
Ben Cohen, Jerry Greenfield. They had when people came to the gas station,
they would for some reason other they felt that they were always looking for
ice cream. So they started making their own ice cream and that's how they
But they had a gas station. That's how they get started. Ben and
Jerry's originally was a gas station and then they started selling ice cream and look
where that got him. That's a pretty good American story. Don't you think
that's great? Yep? I am Robert Strickler, my wife Joyce and I

me that may be bogged Yeah, good day something. Rather that's a no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no no. Let's say happy birds to Walter Stouth and Jennifer Taylor.
See who else, Mike Lucky? How do you like to have that
name? Good for you? Mike. Mike's name is Mike Lucky. He's
thirty three years old today, Happy birthday, listeners to the Good Day program,
Mike Lucky. Mister Lucky. I hope he's a school teacher or something,
right, that'd be cool. Mister Lucky is teaching English right now.
I'd rather have him be a surgeon because its like, hey, mister Lucky
is going to be Doctor Lucky is going to be performing surgery on You'd be
like, oh good, yeah, okay, yeah, I'm with you on
that one. All right. Let's see who we have on our social media.
That's what happens at this time. Every hour we go to our social
media pages Facebook and Instagram, at Good Day Radio show, Twitter, Good
Day on Air. Let's see here we are posted some different kinds of brids
here. Right. Apparently people in Saint Louis um thin slice their bagels?
Is this horrible noy slicing? They're bagels like bread slices, And apparently it
is having the internet have some feelings about it, Like again, just let
people love their lives. Oh, yes, there's something that you do that
you other people feel was weird or all. This lady who puts ketch him
on her eggs, there's nothing more disgusting than putting ketchup on eggs. Come
on, lady, there's nothing more disgusting than ketch up here on anything.
Okay, I feel like that's actually pretty common. I know more people that
put ketchup on eggs than not. Then don't do that. There's a lady
who says she's going to start slicing up her donuts, like these bagels are
slice good for you? Madam Jeff says, half my family lives in Saint
Louis never heard of it. Maybe this is something new. Yes it could
be. Is Terry who says no, no, no, no, no,
no no no no, Greg, Greg addressing this fiery important issue of
the day. It's a unique way to slice a bagel, but not something
to get upset about. Oh come on, people, Greg, don't people
in your life get upset about the dumbest things. Come on. Some things
that go viral on social media where people are strongly debating are kind of funny.
Like the whole debate of the when you put a new roll of toilet
paper on, is it over or under by? How these bagels in the
way of bread? No behind this because I feel like, what if you
eat one bagel? How many slices of bread? Is that the equivalent to
They're just trying to help us this. It must be a woke mentality.
That's a we'll blame everything on woke, right, brief, let's make it
all. You don't know what woke is without telling me. You don't know
what woke, So let me ask you this. Okay, So I talked
about Marcia gay Harden, whom I like a lot. Is an accurate and
her children are being gay queer? Yes? Yeah, well but is it
gay or is it queer? That's queer? Because I think her oldest is
non binary, one of them is gay or bisexual, and the other is
fluid. What does that mean? Fluid? I know what that means.
Um. James and I actually had this conversation off air. I don't know
if you want to jump in, James, because I thought fluid was the
same as pan originally, as I understand, it is not really identifying with
you could identify with both male and female, if that makes sense. So
you're not non binary. Non binary is not conforming to either, whereas fluid
is being able to go back and forth. Like episode of Shark Tank,
I'm out, I'm out. It's all right. Listen, mine who you're

Warren all over the place on this program because I love promoting the fact that
he's there for you every weekend to help you out with your questions about dogs.
So here's the question, can I make money with my dog's poop?
Obviously you know the answer to that, and so Warren take it away.

they give you poop collection bags, and they use this poop for research to
even have what's called they a stool bank. I love that term. A
stool duel bank. Great place to make deposits. I don't think I'm making
any withdrawals off the bat, but they really it's kind of interesting because they're
doing a lot of research on on dog poop in general, and it may
help them find out other problems within balances in the gun and suffering different nations.
So it's kind of an interesting concept. But one hundred bucks, man,
you know how much money I would be worth if I got a hundred
bucks for every dog? Would be my best friend that I would if I
lived in Oakland. Now, I go out and buy a herd of Saint
Bernard's, Yeah, or those other big dogs. One of those other big
dogs, great Pyrenees, great Irish. Yeah, them all the more poop,
the marrier, and what they don't leave it. You know, you
go ahead. I was gonna say one of my favorite breeds of dogs that
no one really knows about it is called a leon Burger. When I first
heard of it, I thought it was a Jewish accountant from a story of
queens Leon Burger. I had the opportunity of work with working with them in
Germany. Looks like a Saint Bernard, only their brown, incredible temperaments.
You know, the gentle giants Leon Burger. Check it out on your online
the beautiful, beautiful dog Burger. All right, so poop, we could
do wonders if we have cow poop, that'd be all over that. Hey,
Doug. I came across this quote and it was kind of interesting to
me. In an age where pets are the new children and house plants are
the new pets, the new household hierarchy signifies the shift in our priorities for
fur kids. It's kind of interesting because pets are the new children for many
people. A lot of couples that I know that have no children, their
dogs and their cats are their kids. And kind of the house the kind
of the house plants. They're easy the housebreak, but the house plants become
the kind of a kind of the new pets. It's kind of be an
interesting concept, and it's kind of true because you know, you see people
walking their dogs and strolls, and I don't mean just dogs with challenges and
disabilities. People just want to take the dog out for a walk, I
don't get it, and they'll put it. Oh, they'll put it in
a on. I see more French bulldogs in southern California in those key pouches
over their shoulder. I don't all over the place. Let the dons walk
a little bit. It's good for them. So peacocks are becoming the new
rage. And I found this south this past weekend. The farm open for
the season. My farm, and we've got three peacocks. And when you
look at them and they spread their wings in a manner of speaking, it's
really something to behold. But they are dangerous. There was a peacock that
got out of the Bronx Zoo, I guess last week, and he bit
a man. He got they got out on the street and the guy said,
after he was bitten, he was high. I don't know what the
heck peacocks, peacocks have in them that would make somebody high. Do you
know does that make any sense to you? I don't know, Doug,
but it's you know what doesn't make sense to me that he broke out of
the zoo. So this was an incarcerated peacock. This is right, Coppy,
go lucky peacocks. Yeah, right, they make an interesting noise tour.
So I have you ever notice that heard of peacock is like a cal
that's what you hear of here I went to. I went to a place
in southern California not too long ago. It's kind of like a museum type
of agriculture place, and they have a load of peacocks. And I got
to tell you they're beautiful to watch. But you're absolutely right. They can
be assertive and the noise level when they start making noise, it's but you
absolutely I don't think there's any animal that's more beautiful than the peacock when they
have their tail feathery spread out. You know, I thought we would spend
a moment if you don't mind talking about a trust. When people die,
what happens to your dog? Do you make plans for your dog? I
know we've visited this before, but I think it's becoming well. I was
thinking about this in terms of if something happened to me, what happens to
Daisy? And I've made arrangements for her. But how often is it that
people ask you on your radio program about setting up a pet trust? And
often because I explained to people that really a will doesn't affect your pet.
You have to set out a trust, and within that trust, you have
to make sure that the person that you're leaving the dogs too, or whatever
financially you're leaving too, they sign that as well to make sure it's taken
care of. It's such a great, great thing to bring up. They're
gonna tell you why. I get the stories every week on the radio about
this dog that wound up at a shelter because their guardian died, or and
the kids, rather than take their mother's dog, would put it at a
shelter. Or I don't understand that. You know, a person's pet is
part of that person. Keep the pet trust for your dog or cat.
Great idea, it is, well just having the mindfulness of thinking about what
happens to your favorite dog or your favorite pet. They've done a wonderful job
taking care of you, you need to take care of them. I think
