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 Caldron, which is the safe way for you to lose weight and 3 00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:12,400 keep it off, and also by previagent keeping your brain healthy. We have 4 00:00:12,519 --> 00:00:17,160 lots of Halloween stuff. I went to a friend's house yesterday afternoon for a 5 00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:21,839 meeting, and all of the children and grandchildren were there. There must have 6 00:00:21,879 --> 00:00:25,079 been a dozen of them running around, and they all had pumpkins that they'd 7 00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:30,839 carved. The sons of my well, they're all my friends. But one 8 00:00:30,839 --> 00:00:34,200 of the kids wanted to take me outside and show me which one was his, 9 00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:40,000 and then he couldn't tell which one it was his. He got well 10 00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:43,640 chopped up and carved up and whatever. But it's kind of a cute way. 11 00:00:43,679 --> 00:00:48,359 Yeah, nothing wrong with that. What there is something wrong with is 12 00:00:48,439 --> 00:00:57,759 the fact that we're already being inundated with Christmas advertising. So it's the ho 13 00:00:57,759 --> 00:01:03,959 holiday season and with that in mind, the Christmas focus already, I hear 14 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,480 they are going to be stations that are right after Halloween going to be converting 15 00:01:07,519 --> 00:01:12,159 to Christmas music. And those stations turn out to be if we're if you 16 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:15,840 look back over the most recent years, those stations tend to be the ones 17 00:01:15,879 --> 00:01:22,040 that get the most listenership other than the talk stations, especially with this stuff 18 00:01:22,079 --> 00:01:25,239 going on like there is right now. Everybody's talking about what's going on the 19 00:01:25,239 --> 00:01:34,319 at least and the passing of Matthew Matthew Perry. Matthew Perry. So anyway, 20 00:01:34,439 --> 00:01:41,519 Christmas music and Christmas ads, it seems like very inappropriate at this point. 21 00:01:41,599 --> 00:01:47,840 Let's stick with Halloween's larger spending money billions of dollars to spend every year 22 00:01:48,359 --> 00:01:55,879 on Halloween stuff, including a Halloween joke book which I picked up yesterday, 23 00:01:56,480 --> 00:02:00,799 and I thought that you can sort of succumb to the All right, here's 24 00:02:00,799 --> 00:02:07,400 the first question. You're ready ready, Why wouldn't the monster eat the clown? 25 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:12,960 I don't know. Why wouldn't the monster eat the clown? That's kind 26 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:16,000 of a whimpy response. Come on, you cow about something? I know 27 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:23,039 my mind's blank on that. What's the answer? He tasted funny. Never 28 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:32,879 would have came up with that one. What's a witch's favorite subject? Oh, 29 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:37,080 James, you can jump in on this stuff as well if you want. 30 00:02:37,159 --> 00:02:39,360 I don't know. I feel like I'm failing here. No, think's 31 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:50,039 geometry. Why I don't know. Why not spelling? Oh? What do 32 00:02:50,240 --> 00:03:04,479 sea monsters eat for dinner? It's just going straight blake fish and ships ships 33 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,199 fish? Oh and ships ships? Gotcha? Hey, that one's cute. 34 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:12,479 My last one? Why did the girl put Halloween candy under her pillow? 35 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:21,439 Because she wanted to have sweet dreams? Good for your No, they didn't 36 00:03:21,479 --> 00:03:27,479 nail at So where are the most haunted states? The spooky stuff? I'm 37 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,960 probably the most haunted because the Salem witch hunts and all the stuff that goes 38 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:36,319 on at Salem. I know the former mayor of Salem who's now the lieutenant 39 00:03:36,319 --> 00:03:40,080 governor Massachusetts, was telling me that it is. She was mayor up there, 40 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:45,479 I think for thirteen or fourteen years, and it was this time of 41 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:50,919 year you cannot move in that town. People come. They want to see 42 00:03:50,919 --> 00:03:53,919 where the witches were burned at the steak. They want to get the field 43 00:03:53,919 --> 00:03:59,560 to see if there's some spooky stuff still around, haunted houses up there, 44 00:03:59,639 --> 00:04:03,639 gal or they make a whole Some people make a whole career out of Halloween 45 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:09,479 and the stores, sheer number of locations and that kind of stuff. Now, 46 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:13,599 before Salem there was which trials in Hartford, Connecticut. Do they have 47 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:18,720 kind of the same turnout as Salem does? Or is Salem really only Wow? 48 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:25,480 But there are other places around the country where things like in California and 49 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:31,959 Utah they have haunted houses galore. California ranked first in the number of spirit 50 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:38,639 Halloween stores. They had one hundred and seventy two at the beginning Good Heavens. 51 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:43,560 They also have the most haunted locations. Do you know what the number 52 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:49,959 one location is that people want to see in California on Halloween? California, 53 00:04:50,399 --> 00:04:55,560 I feel like it's the abandoned prisons that are always big ones. It was 54 00:04:55,639 --> 00:05:02,839 Alcatraz. Alcatraz two million search results, right, and then there's an utube 55 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:09,560 those are you listening? In Utah, you've got Union Station and there are 56 00:05:09,639 --> 00:05:13,680 lots of people looking for stuff about unions. I don't know, I've never 57 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,240 been to well, yes, I think I have driven by Union Station Salt 58 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:23,839 Lake anyways, So Alaska also has some scary spots. Apparently New Hampshire has 59 00:05:25,399 --> 00:05:30,439 Marshfield, Wisconsin. They have the hospital with the Spirit of a Man in 60 00:05:30,439 --> 00:05:38,920 a black robe, supposedly inhabits Oo. I know a lot of these places, 61 00:05:38,959 --> 00:05:45,439 like some of the abandoned hospitals or abandoned and shut down at prisons. 62 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:49,360 They will do Halloween time things where they'll do tours year round, but on 63 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:55,839 some of the Halloween stuff they actually do like ghost hunting or sleepovers. And 64 00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,399 I would like to take a tour, but I don't. I don't. 65 00:05:59,439 --> 00:06:02,240 There will be no sleeping if I'm ever there. No. But you like 66 00:06:02,319 --> 00:06:06,560 that scary stuff, yeah, but not like not that in depth, like 67 00:06:06,639 --> 00:06:10,480 I would like to tour someplace, but when it's the whole, like the 68 00:06:10,519 --> 00:06:13,279 overnight thing, and you know, at the three am witching hour, Like 69 00:06:13,519 --> 00:06:15,959 I don't want to be in a haunted location at three am. I just 70 00:06:15,959 --> 00:06:18,199 don't. I'm not that into it. That's a little saly for me. 71 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:29,600 Movie theaters galore, the whole the business about what's playing at the theater, 72 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:31,600 but more on television or on the streaming service is good, Evans. You 73 00:06:31,639 --> 00:06:38,800 click around yesterday and there were the stuff everywhere. Every channel, one of 74 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:43,720 the streaming channels has some horrible, gory Halloween movie or something like that. 75 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,279 I don't know. People like that stuff, but not me. I'm Doug 76 00:06:46,319 --> 00:06:53,480 Stephan along with Jay Kirshner taking a trip over to the Middle East Biden, 77 00:06:53,839 --> 00:07:00,199 the president of our country, says that Net and Yahoo and others have to 78 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:10,879 consider a two state solution after this current situation subsides that has always been mission 79 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:15,120 impossible. They could never get these people together because they're both hard liners or 80 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:20,879 both sides take a hard line. This has been going on for three weeks. 81 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:27,920 The Israeli Hamas or is what it's being called, and it could be 82 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:35,920 long and difficult. So some say the situation is so uncomfortable. My friend 83 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:43,720 Arie Geller, who's there, was recounting being outside and seeing the missiles go 84 00:07:43,839 --> 00:07:46,040 over. I think he's told us that on more than one occasion. Frankly, 85 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:50,839 yes, yeah. And then the I'm blinking on the name not the 86 00:07:50,839 --> 00:07:57,079 Iron grid, the what is it? The defense Liron dome jon do Yeah, 87 00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,879 right, yep. So what is For those of you who don't know 88 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:05,439 or haven't heard of the two states solution? This is a circumstance in which 89 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:15,199 Israel coexists with an independent Palestinian state. That the reason it's eluded all of 90 00:08:15,319 --> 00:08:18,800 us, all of since the beginning is because it's not good for business. 91 00:08:20,439 --> 00:08:26,360 Unless Hamas is gone, a mass will continue to stir the pot because the 92 00:08:26,399 --> 00:08:31,959 money that goes in aids supposedly to Palestinians doesn't ever get to them. It 93 00:08:31,039 --> 00:08:37,879 gets to Hamas. And that's why Arafat, who was the original leonol Hegethin 94 00:08:37,039 --> 00:08:41,799 was the second guy in charge of Hamas, died with a five billion dollar 95 00:08:41,919 --> 00:08:46,879 bank account because the money was filled. And that's why they stir this stuff 96 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:50,519 up. It's all in their own self interest. Does it does it or 97 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:58,480 could it spiral into a broader regional conflict. The Iranians are trying to be 98 00:08:58,519 --> 00:09:03,960 there like a bug on your butt, but they're they're they're behind the scenes 99 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:09,559 stirring the pot here because that's good for them. But this is not the 100 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:13,720 answer they think anyway, not good in the end if they don't mind their 101 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:18,440 own p's and q's, because we won't, we don't have necessarily mess with 102 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:22,559 them. Although I think we bombed some places in Syria over the weekend if 103 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:26,159 I remember reading that, and then you know, because there were some things 104 00:09:26,519 --> 00:09:31,080 that are either in the works, there had been some missiles had been launched 105 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:37,120 from there. So the Middle East is a tinder box. There's nothing unusual 106 00:09:37,159 --> 00:09:43,840 about that. Frankly, the President of Egypt and President Biden talked about this 107 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:50,080 was interesting. I was watching Bill Maher, Mar Mayor and Mar m A. 108 00:09:50,279 --> 00:09:52,240 H. T R. On Friday, as I try to do, 109 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:58,000 because I appreciate his points of view. Frankly, these days not the same 110 00:09:58,039 --> 00:10:05,720 as they used to be, and all he's fairly complementary toward the Biden administration. 111 00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:09,519 He thinks that Biden needs to go away. He thinks Trump needs to 112 00:10:09,519 --> 00:10:16,840 go away. The situation with who comes along? What's the guy's named Phillips, 113 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:20,960 who's running against Biden? Phillips? Yeah, right, so he got 114 00:10:22,039 --> 00:10:28,759 some time and some thought. It's just this. We keep going around and 115 00:10:28,759 --> 00:10:31,600 around the circles here and I'm not sure what's the old expression where we stop? 116 00:10:31,639 --> 00:10:37,240 Nobody knows. Yeah, that's accurate, right now, yeah, right. 117 00:10:37,159 --> 00:10:43,080 Palestinians have always said they wanted statehood. But then how there is an 118 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:50,639 outfit called a Muslim advocacy organization, and that is a group that exists here 119 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:58,120 and in other countries. It's trying to find a way to have something. 120 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:03,240 Palestine was a state that exist before Israel became a state. And I've given 121 00:11:03,279 --> 00:11:05,159 you some of my thoughts over the last week or so as to how that 122 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:13,679 all came apart. I came together. There's a lot of frustration here because 123 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:18,039 there are a lot of people who don't think that Israel should have our full 124 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:22,759 support. A lot of people. It's actually if you listen to both sides 125 00:11:22,759 --> 00:11:26,720 in this credibility, it's hard to know what to believe. That's really, 126 00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:31,080 you know, when it gets the bottom line here, this is not an 127 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:37,559 easy thing. It's about us supporting Israel, not for the reasons of humanity, 128 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:41,440 but for the reasons I explained last week, because it's a military stronghold 129 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:46,200 for us, and you know, we need to be there. So I 130 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:50,080 think that that's as part of anyway, the conditions are deteriorating, that's for 131 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:54,360 sure, a long way from a cease fire, it would seem, and 132 00:11:54,440 --> 00:12:07,960 so we stand in quicksand I think much anything else in the media spread across 133 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:13,240 the country, this guy was someone that has had a very strong influence because 134 00:12:13,279 --> 00:12:16,799 of his role in Friends, that has had a very strong cultural impact since 135 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:20,360 it began in the nineteen nineties and still does today. Yeah, the Master 136 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:26,240 Perry's Chandler is still quoted regularly in different clips used as memes shared on social 137 00:12:26,279 --> 00:12:33,759 media. It's every single character was iconic. Yep, Well, he so 138 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:37,240 not only did they make a million bucks an episode, none of these people 139 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:41,399 that were part of the show ever had to work again in their lives because 140 00:12:41,919 --> 00:12:48,120 of the success of the or the resurgence, if you will have interested. 141 00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:52,039 I don't know if it ever went away, but no editation rights and the 142 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:56,240 amount of money that they made. They made twenty million bucks a year, 143 00:12:56,039 --> 00:13:00,720 all of them. So anyway, that's not the most most important thing. 144 00:13:00,759 --> 00:13:05,039 Most important thing is to use this as a warning what happens when you get 145 00:13:05,039 --> 00:13:11,120 hooked on drugs, certain drugs. His stomach literally exploded and he almost died. 146 00:13:11,799 --> 00:13:16,120 They were able to like a to oh his coal and the opiated addition. 147 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:20,000 Yeah, yeah, how many years ago, And that's the real kicker. 148 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,320 He had found sobriety and he was sober for I want to say two 149 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:28,200 or three years. But of course they're doing the autopsy and everything. But 150 00:13:28,399 --> 00:13:31,720 some of the things that are circulating are a cardiac incident. And he was 151 00:13:31,799 --> 00:13:37,799 playing pickled ball earlier, went to the hot tub, and you're not really 152 00:13:37,799 --> 00:13:41,840 supposed to go in the hottubb for twenty four to forty eight hours after exercising 153 00:13:41,919 --> 00:13:46,519 because you need to let your heart rate drop back down and it's one of 154 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:48,679 those things that will see what happened, but it's just so heartbreaking. It 155 00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:54,279 is absolutely devastating. Well again, is it not. He had been in 156 00:13:54,360 --> 00:14:01,639 and out of these problems because of what he allowed himself to do. And 157 00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:03,879 the thing that seems more apparent than anything is that people who work with him, 158 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:07,440 people who were around him, loved the guy. They thought he was 159 00:14:07,519 --> 00:14:13,200 fabulous. So anyway, certainly a lot to talk today about the passing of 160 00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:18,480 Matthew Perry at the age of fifty four. I'm Greg I'm sixty eight years 161 00:14:18,519 --> 00:14:20,799 old. I grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, majored in business administration. 162 00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:26,240 I do motivational speaking in addition to substitute teaching. Part of the reason for 163 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:30,159 my motivational speaking is I kind of feel like I have a calling or giving 164 00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:33,279 back to the younger generation. You know, the golden rule is do unto 165 00:14:33,279 --> 00:14:37,000 others you'd have them doing to you. My wife, Wanda, as a 166 00:14:37,039 --> 00:14:41,120 senior flight attendants, She's been flying for over thirty years. We do laugh 167 00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:45,399 quite a bit. I think most adults will start realizing that they don't recall 168 00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:48,080 things as quickly as they used to, or they don't remember things as vividly 169 00:14:48,559 --> 00:14:52,919 as they once did. I've been taking privileging for about three years now. 170 00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,159 People say to me periodical, Man, you got a memory like an alphant. 171 00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:03,879 It's really really helped me tremendously probagen healthier brain, better life. Grig 172 00:15:03,919 --> 00:15:09,039 Freeley is a paid testimonialist and real Privilegen user based on a clinical study of 173 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:13,120 subgroups of individuals who were cognitively normal or mildly impaired. This product is not 174 00:15:13,159 --> 00:15:16,639 intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Day before 175 00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:22,399 All Hallows Eve and so we're marking the change in seasons kind of. This 176 00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:28,919 is for me, what really brings us into the Halloween? Well, the 177 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:33,960 Halloween mode brings us into Thanksgiving mode, which brings us into the Christmas mode, 178 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:37,240 which brings us into the New Year's mode, which brings us into Valentine's 179 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:45,000 Day and before you know it, it's springtime again. Hooray. The changing 180 00:15:45,799 --> 00:15:50,200 of seasons and the meteorological parameters, how do you like that for a phrase? 181 00:15:50,799 --> 00:15:56,919 They are based on the weather, the astronomical signs that we have that 182 00:15:58,279 --> 00:16:03,840 uh, pointing to really interesting things in the sky. There's the moon has 183 00:16:03,879 --> 00:16:07,159 been full over the weekend, as I'm sure you all saw a big, 184 00:16:07,279 --> 00:16:11,919 bright, beautiful moon and there's a star just below it, and I don't 185 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:15,320 know what it is. Sometimes you see Mercury, or you see Mars, 186 00:16:15,879 --> 00:16:18,639 or you can see some of the other planets in our solar system. Does 187 00:16:18,679 --> 00:16:26,360 anybody know what that? Which planet? It is? Ve Venus right now? 188 00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:30,720 Yeah? Okay, whatever it is, isn't it different places? But 189 00:16:30,759 --> 00:16:33,960 we've all seen that same thing, yep, right, I love it. 190 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:38,120 Ye when the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that's a 191 00:16:38,159 --> 00:16:42,799 more so you're obviously, and that's the love mode. Jennifer Jennifer Horne, 192 00:16:42,879 --> 00:16:49,000 j Kirshner, Doug Stephan. Today is Random Acts of Kindness Day, and 193 00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:55,960 I'm thinking about the ways you can bring light and positivity to folks that you 194 00:16:56,039 --> 00:16:59,720 know. Just one gesture as a friend of mine who reminded me of that, 195 00:16:59,759 --> 00:17:02,919 he's said, you're on the radio talk about this, So I decided 196 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:08,880 he was right in talking about how it relates to your family, to your 197 00:17:10,039 --> 00:17:15,720 friends. Is there a way that today you can surprise somebody you know with 198 00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:19,599 just a small treat, just a little something, or maybe you wait till 199 00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,839 it's your half birthday. Actually, when is my birthday? Is a week 200 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:29,240 from today? Isn't that? Where's my birthday coming on? We changed oots 201 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:34,920 Sunday. Yeah, so I would think that a random act of kindness for 202 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:40,880 me would be to turn the clock back a year instead of pushing it ahead. 203 00:17:41,039 --> 00:17:45,079 Just go backwards? Why not? But I mean, seriously, think 204 00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:48,279 about if you've got some friends who are new parents, bring them a meal, 205 00:17:49,039 --> 00:17:53,240 right, take care of the other children are home that they have them. 206 00:17:53,799 --> 00:17:56,440 There are a lot of things like what I do when I go to 207 00:17:56,440 --> 00:18:02,440 California is I both my children take a night. I'll take one night with 208 00:18:02,519 --> 00:18:07,039 Miles and another night now with Jasper. That's nothing but fun for me, 209 00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:11,400 and they like it and so they So you can go out. That's something 210 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:14,960 to do. I know, all kinds of things you can do. Write 211 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:18,839 a letter of encouragement to somebody who's having a difficult time, what a great 212 00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:23,279 way to support. Maybe give some flowers to the local nursing home, something 213 00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:27,240 like that. These things don't cost a lot. If there's a snowstorm, 214 00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:32,279 shovel out your neighbor's driveway if the person who lives there is too old to 215 00:18:32,319 --> 00:18:36,160 do it on his or her own, right, Yeah, that's great. 216 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:38,599 Break some leaves. It's that time of year, or as being at a 217 00:18:38,599 --> 00:18:42,319 grocery store and you're walking in and you see somebody just unloaded their their groceries. 218 00:18:42,319 --> 00:18:45,319 Maybe they have some children with them. Take their cart back in for 219 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:49,759 them. You're already heading that way. Yeah, Donating blood is a good 220 00:18:49,759 --> 00:18:56,559 thing to do as a random act of kindness. Volunteer if you are bilingual 221 00:18:56,599 --> 00:19:00,160 to be a translator for some community group, that's also a good thing to 222 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:04,759 do. Bring extra produce from your garden. This is what I do all 223 00:19:06,799 --> 00:19:08,480 a year long. I don't necessarily bring it to the Senior Center, which 224 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:12,359 you can do that, but there's always going to be need for good food 225 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:18,759 no matter what. Helping out at the animals shelter, God, there's certainly 226 00:19:18,799 --> 00:19:22,920 is need for that, no question about that. And let's say at work, 227 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:26,839 you have a new colleague it seems to me a little bit lost. 228 00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:34,920 How about helping that person out see how they're doing right? And then you 229 00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:38,599 know, there's also things. If you hear good things about a co worker, 230 00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:42,000 tell them, hey, Fred said this, you're really good at this 231 00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:49,559 whatever it is. Yeah, healthy snacks for Halloween, who's doing that, 232 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:55,400 Jennifer. When people come to your house, what do you give them healthy 233 00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:59,119 snacks for Halloween? Now? Come on, I don't know when people come 234 00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:03,160 to my house like a our couterie board? What's that? Are you talking 235 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:07,400 about trigger treaters? Yeah? Oh, they're getting candy for crying out loud? 236 00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:10,119 Come on, well, but do you is that it? Do you 237 00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:14,640 give them something else besides candy? What else would I give them? Oh? 238 00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:18,440 I could give them money for UNICEF. No, no, we won't 239 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:22,279 get them money because we'd go broke. We don't get to give them money. 240 00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:26,039 We're not going to be the creep that gives the popcorn balls. We're 241 00:20:26,039 --> 00:20:27,519 not going to be the creep that gives a toothbrush. We're just going to 242 00:20:27,599 --> 00:20:33,839 give out a plain old candy toothbruck. People actually give toothbrushes for news that 243 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:40,200 the prepackaged ones. Yeah, really, huh? I get a bunch of 244 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:42,000 them. I get on the airplane in the in the little packet that we 245 00:20:42,079 --> 00:20:45,519 get. Maybe bet I have twenty five of them. But nobody comes to 246 00:20:45,559 --> 00:20:51,119 my house anyway. Nobody comes to my house as I basically close the doors 247 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:52,240 of the lights off. So why would anybody, Well, then yeah, 248 00:20:52,279 --> 00:20:56,079 you give the hint. That's one of those things. If you see the 249 00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:59,240 lights are off, do not do not go up there. They're not going 250 00:20:59,279 --> 00:21:04,000 to give a candy seal. There's also that seal pumpkin project where you have 251 00:21:04,039 --> 00:21:07,400 a teal pumpkin outside and it lets people know that you, Well, you 252 00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:11,559 may have some snacks and treats and candy, you also have non food treats 253 00:21:11,559 --> 00:21:15,079 for anybody who may be interested in that. Maybe somebody has young children or 254 00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:19,519 somebody who has certain food allergies. Uh, really like a little lot of 255 00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:23,799 small toy things. We're not a restaurant if you can't come and get you 256 00:21:23,799 --> 00:21:26,759 your snicker bar. I'm looking at my Halloween bucket right now because I got 257 00:21:26,759 --> 00:21:30,039 it ready this weekend and we've got all kinds of good stuff in here. 258 00:21:30,079 --> 00:21:33,440 Thank goodness for the big box stores because they really give you a nice mix 259 00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:37,599 of things. So, so what I'll do this weekend. We didn't have 260 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:41,039 tennts last weekend when I was there. This weekend, maybe I'll let you 261 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:45,119 take me out for breakfast and oh for your birthday so I can bring you 262 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:48,880 some leftover candy. All right, yeah, sure, why not? Yay? 263 00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:55,880 So the research discovery of the day. You ready for this? Ready? 264 00:21:56,359 --> 00:22:03,039 The researchers at the Harvard what do they call it, the primate the 265 00:22:03,079 --> 00:22:12,119 Primate Laboratory, have found that chimps go through menopause. Okay, okay, 266 00:22:15,039 --> 00:22:18,640 what do we do with that information? I just thought maybe you'd be interested 267 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:23,720 in knowing that. I would think any mammal that has a mental cycle wouldn't 268 00:22:23,839 --> 00:22:27,799 dogs too. I don't know about that. I don't know. I'm you're 269 00:22:27,839 --> 00:22:32,400 asking somebody that'd be something. Let's ask Warren that when he's with us. 270 00:22:33,039 --> 00:22:37,720 All right, let's yeah, let's do that when Warren is here. So 271 00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:45,799 I think there's there's a good question there. The pharmaceutical world is in a 272 00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:49,000 quandary because apparently the people who work and this is not the first time we've 273 00:22:49,319 --> 00:22:56,160 talked about this at Walgreen CBS, the big, super big drug companies are 274 00:22:56,240 --> 00:23:02,640 ready to go on strike because they don't get paid enough. They're getting tired 275 00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:06,440 of working and taking abuse from people. So a number of them over the 276 00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:12,759 weekend walked off their jobs and they it could spread and apparently it's not about 277 00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:18,000 pay, which I find very interesting. You know, most of the time 278 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:23,880 people go on strike because they want more pay right and so the and these 279 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:29,319 most of these companies, excuse me, companies are non union. So these 280 00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:32,880 wildcat strikes that have been taking place, if you had any in California or 281 00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:36,839 in Ohio, We've had them around here in Massachusetts. If you had them 282 00:23:36,839 --> 00:23:40,839 in either Ohio or California, ladies, not that I've seen. Yeah, 283 00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:47,359 nothely aware of. Well, Walgreens, CBS, right Aid this week and 284 00:23:47,759 --> 00:23:52,599 next week, the pharmacies, even though they acknowledge not to have a union, 285 00:23:52,599 --> 00:24:00,799 apparently they're very closely connected. There are associations of Walmart workers and and 286 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:03,839 right Aid workers, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. They're asking 287 00:24:04,319 --> 00:24:11,000 the owners to hire more staff so the workloads are less overwhelming. They want 288 00:24:11,039 --> 00:24:18,799 better working conditions basically, and that doesn't necessarily include getting paid more. They 289 00:24:18,839 --> 00:24:23,119 want on the job safety to be more of a priority, which is very 290 00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:29,839 interesting. What would be an issue that would is the drug stuff and what's 291 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:33,160 going on in the drug stores. Is there dust from drugs that have been 292 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:36,279 spilled on the floor or something, But you wonder what does that mean. 293 00:24:36,279 --> 00:24:42,200 They're all worried about workplace safety. That sounds kind of weird. To me, 294 00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:45,400 Well, if there are some hazards mold growing in areas, or even 295 00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:51,359 just security threats of people coming in. How many drug stores you think there 296 00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:55,799 are these big drug stores in the country. Take a guess how many drug 297 00:24:55,839 --> 00:25:00,559 stores? Oh? Tons, yep, seven point very good jack, No. 298 00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:07,400 Four four hundred eighty two pharmacies. I thought that was a big number 299 00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:11,039 rank when you think about it as a CBS and Walgreens on every corner. 300 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:17,160 Four four hundred eighty two at the moment. The more though, I'm telling 301 00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:19,480 you, that's what the stats that I'm looking at show, and seventy five 302 00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:25,400 percent of the workers and these say they're unsatisfied with the working conditions. So 303 00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:30,279 was that that I don't know. It just seems to be indicative of any 304 00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:32,480 number of things. I don't like them, but I haven't. I go 305 00:25:32,519 --> 00:25:36,599 to a little drug store in my community as two branches, and that's it. 306 00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:40,400 They know who I am, They know, you know, what is 307 00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:41,759 important. I don't even need you know. It's not for drugs that I 308 00:25:41,799 --> 00:25:48,039 go there, but I guess, you know, sometimes they go on and 309 00:25:48,079 --> 00:25:51,279 get some vitamins in there and that kind of stuff. Because I like the 310 00:25:51,279 --> 00:25:53,559 guy that runs the store. And he's always telling me what's good for me 311 00:25:53,599 --> 00:25:56,559 and what's not good for me. It's kind of like working with the two 312 00:25:56,640 --> 00:26:02,720 of you, always telling you what's your business. Yeah, Jennifer, Jay 313 00:26:02,759 --> 00:26:04,759 and Doug here At are on the Good Day program, so it's great business 314 00:26:04,799 --> 00:26:07,480 time for Caldron. I would think the phones would be bringing off the hook 315 00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:11,720 and people would be ordering nauseum. That's right.

Social media becomes a focus. We focus on trending 328 00:27:07,079 --> 00:27:11,720 things, gossip and that sort of technology. To to an extent, thought 329 00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:18,000 it was interesting the Supreme Court has gone into the social media reality free speech 330 00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:25,000 and the focus there, just as Kagan drew laughter a few months ago, 331 00:27:25,039 --> 00:27:30,519 and she remarked that she and her eight colleagues are not the nine greatest experts 332 00:27:30,519 --> 00:27:33,880 on the Internet. That hasn't stopped them, however, from taking on a 333 00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:40,720 new series of cases on the role of social media in our society. All 334 00:27:40,759 --> 00:27:45,319 of them raised different free speech questions, and depending on where they go, 335 00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:52,000 they could certainly have broad repercussions. Cases on the docket reflect how social media 336 00:27:52,079 --> 00:28:00,880 has become a contentious battleground. I think that's an understatement. Frankly, collectively, 337 00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:06,160 they're likely to have quite a dramatic effect on the digital public sphere, 338 00:28:06,759 --> 00:28:11,440 said one of the first Amendment lawyers that's practicing before the Supreme Court. So 339 00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:22,160 if they decide what cases to take up or they will, the debate even 340 00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:30,200 around free speech things it's become a joke on social media because there is no 341 00:28:30,319 --> 00:28:34,079 freedom of speech, certainly on Facebook or any of the meta places. And 342 00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:37,640 I don't know. I guess X is okay these days, but I don't 343 00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:42,079 know about some of the other things. So what is there that there are 344 00:28:42,079 --> 00:28:48,200 certain cases. I think there's one even that involves Trump. I don't know 345 00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:51,960 what it is, but maybe it's the one that he was blocked from when 346 00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:56,720 he was on when Twitter before Musk owned it, he was blocked, and 347 00:28:56,839 --> 00:29:00,039 so you know, should he be blocked. It's a private the owned company. 348 00:29:00,279 --> 00:29:03,440 I don't see there's much room to move here if it's a private even 349 00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:07,119 though we don't like it, if you're a privately held company, you can 350 00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:11,759 do what you're damn well please, and that's you can make it. I 351 00:29:11,759 --> 00:29:15,160 think mostly it's understood and accepted that you run a company. May not like 352 00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:21,240 it, but then why don't you just stop using it. I think where 353 00:29:21,279 --> 00:29:25,720 the where the rub comes in is that they operate a lot like a utility. 354 00:29:26,359 --> 00:29:30,799 So because they're operating like a communication hub, this is where we have 355 00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:33,039 that gray area. Because I agree private businesses should be able to make their 356 00:29:33,079 --> 00:29:37,079 private decisions. But if you act in the situation where you're you know, 357 00:29:37,119 --> 00:29:41,160 I mean, imagine if Verizon said, well, Doug, you can no 358 00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:44,559 longer call Jennifer because she's a Trump voter, you know. I mean it's 359 00:29:44,599 --> 00:29:48,039 like or she a great idea that's been going on with the election. I 360 00:29:48,039 --> 00:29:49,480 mean, that would be a problem. And so I think that's where the 361 00:29:49,519 --> 00:29:53,960 gray area is with these communications with these social media companies. Take that for 362 00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:59,160 a second. Imagine how crazy we think that would be. But you can 363 00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:03,279 imagine in a way world of control or people, there's plenty of that sort 364 00:30:03,279 --> 00:30:10,720 of thing exercising coated you know. It's like I had a lot of my 365 00:30:10,839 --> 00:30:15,079 rights stripped away because I chose not to get the COVID vaccine. So it 366 00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:18,119 to me doesn't seem that far off in the what if game. It's so 367 00:30:18,279 --> 00:30:22,079 it just doesn't. Jay you had you posted something a couple of weeks ago 368 00:30:22,119 --> 00:30:26,359 that was taken down and it was about as benign as anything you could come 369 00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:30,480 up with. You want to what was this? I can't remember exactly what 370 00:30:30,519 --> 00:30:33,079 it was, but it had something along the lines of COVID and maybe masks 371 00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:37,839 or something, but it was it just completely disappeared. The post itself just 372 00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:45,279 disappeared. Gone, and more and more and more with regard to that issue, 373 00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:52,440 the people who supported the masks, the mandates, the shots are being 374 00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:56,799 proven wrong by middle of the roaders, people that would be on one side 375 00:30:56,839 --> 00:31:03,839 or another based on actually will scientific If that's kind of a anymore, What 376 00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:07,400 does that mean? Uh? The right? I mean it's that we believe 377 00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:11,519 in science. I saw some guys at the front lawn over the week. 378 00:31:11,759 --> 00:31:15,039 What does that mean? Good luck? Yeah? Right exactly.
