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 Keltron, which is the
safe way for you to lose weight and

3
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:12,519
keep it off, and also by
previlegent, keeping your brain healthy. All

4
00:00:12,599 --> 00:00:17,519
right, let's find out who remembers
what a five and ten is? Do

5
00:00:17,679 --> 00:00:21,000
we start Jay with you? You
probably know what it is. I probably

6
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:26,160
can go right to James. I
was going to say, Interstates in California.

7
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:31,359
Okay, well, I guess I
should start with you then. All

8
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:36,679
right, So a five and ten
also known as a five and dime store

9
00:00:37,799 --> 00:00:42,200
back after World War Two. Actually
I think they were first opened after the

10
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:48,479
Depression. If memory serves me correctly, they were stores where you could buy

11
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:52,679
things like the dollar store. Today
you go to everything there supposedly is a

12
00:00:52,759 --> 00:00:58,320
dollar. Well, back in the
day that five and dime stores were prevalent,

13
00:00:58,679 --> 00:01:02,159
you could buy things in the five
and dime store for five cents or

14
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:06,000
ten cents. It's why they called
him the five and ten cents store.

15
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:08,760
On a dime, a nickel and
a dime. All right, James isn't

16
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:12,239
even way in on that. I
think he just gave up before we could

17
00:01:12,359 --> 00:01:17,280
get ourselves wrapped around what the five
and dime store is? I was gonna

18
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:22,120
say, it's when the clock says
it's five to ten. Oh, okay,

19
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,680
not bad. That's creative anyway,
not a bad. It's good to

20
00:01:26,719 --> 00:01:32,879
be creative. You got to dedicate
your mind to creativity. Creation is in

21
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:36,599
my mind kind of an art.
This will get me off on a tute

22
00:01:36,599 --> 00:01:42,920
here because I see this story about
the baby who scribbles on the walls?

23
00:01:42,519 --> 00:01:47,719
Who became this? A four year
old who started just scribbling on the walls

24
00:01:47,719 --> 00:01:55,879
at his house, and then his
mother recognized that this might be something special,

25
00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:00,439
has never stopped him from writing on
the wall, and now this youngster

26
00:02:00,519 --> 00:02:07,680
paints every day, produces new pieces
every day, including his own version of

27
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:15,719
Van Go's Starry Night. You know
the piece, yeah, the song by

28
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:20,120
what's his face? Starry starry Knight? Who did that song? That was

29
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:25,319
the fellow from Canada whose name I
am now Gordon Lightfoot. Anyway, So

30
00:02:27,199 --> 00:02:31,800
this is a way think about what
you do or them asking is a general

31
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:36,599
sort of blanket question to all of
you. Have you let your children be

32
00:02:36,719 --> 00:02:42,000
themselves so that they could develop into
whatever it is that they were possible that

33
00:02:42,039 --> 00:02:46,759
they could do that, they were
capable of doing. That was a possibility

34
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:54,560
for them. This mother buys this
youngster some colored pencils and so the well,

35
00:02:55,039 --> 00:02:58,360
she said she didn't want him to
ruin those, so she got him

36
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,560
some crayons as well, and then
he painted every wall in the house,

37
00:03:02,199 --> 00:03:07,400
the bedroom, the hallway, the
kitchen, the living room, all covered

38
00:03:07,439 --> 00:03:12,960
with the drawings from this youngster.
And they were such that the family had

39
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,319
to repaint the apartment before they moved
out of it. Here you go,

40
00:03:17,479 --> 00:03:23,039
raised, you can always repaint.
It's okay, you can always repaint.

41
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:30,039
Yeah. I think everything that youngsters
do is art, frankly, and what

42
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:34,439
we It's all part of self expression, which is what painting is about.

43
00:03:34,479 --> 00:03:39,280
If you go back to van go
and any of the like Rubens, any

44
00:03:39,319 --> 00:03:46,120
of the Impressionist artists, any of
these for you today, anybody who is

45
00:03:46,439 --> 00:03:50,680
able to express My friend Eric Geller
is a line of dishware, and it's

46
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,840
basically all his paintings. If you
look at it, you wonder, okay,

47
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:57,879
what's that about? But it's a
creation. I'm sure that you have.

48
00:03:58,039 --> 00:04:01,520
We all know somebody who is he
They're a good painter, or sculptor

49
00:04:02,919 --> 00:04:09,199
or somehow a poet maybe that's something
also, or just a writer. If

50
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:13,800
your mind is conscious then and that's
what obviously is going on with this youngster.

51
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,839
He had a conscious ability. Maybe
it's subconscious, but it was a

52
00:04:16,959 --> 00:04:20,839
natural ability. You've heard of automatic
writing, right, Jay, you know

53
00:04:20,879 --> 00:04:26,040
what automatic writing is? Oh,
yes, it's so fascinating. Yeah,

54
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:29,879
so that's the same sort of thing
as well. We have so much potential,

55
00:04:29,959 --> 00:04:35,600
all of us to stay fully present
during the process of growing, and

56
00:04:35,759 --> 00:04:42,000
rather than focusing on the outcome,
what you do is you let people.

57
00:04:42,439 --> 00:04:46,160
This is how people get inhibited when
they're told no, don't do that,

58
00:04:46,759 --> 00:04:49,879
don't touch that, don't think Well, yeah, I guess it's hard to

59
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:57,199
tell people not to think that.
Then it is to not it's let people

60
00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:02,040
be who they are, let them
do unless it's something that's that is will

61
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:08,680
hurt them or somebody else, And
certainly in this circumstance is nothing that's hurt

62
00:05:08,959 --> 00:05:15,120
is paint over the wall. But
anytime you stifle somebody's passion for what would

63
00:05:15,199 --> 00:05:21,439
be all right, I suppose or
thinking I think that that's what killing passion

64
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:26,800
and creativity. To have somebody fit
into a box or to try to get

65
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:30,720
them to think like you do.
It's very dangerous for them and actually kind

66
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,680
of for you. There are so
many how many people do you know?

67
00:05:33,759 --> 00:05:38,519
I know I'm thinking of any number
of people right now that I know who

68
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:44,519
are in their forties, who have
had their lives shaped and formed by their

69
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,759
parents. For the most part,
conventionality, you know, be a good

70
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:54,040
boy or be a good girl.
Yeah, I've seen not heard right?

71
00:05:54,120 --> 00:06:00,160
Children should be yeah, yeah,
obedience, obey without question and because it

72
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:04,240
was easier for the adults. That
was always my trouble. It still is.

73
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:13,319
I'm sort of I'm a light anarchist
in a way because I don't think

74
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,720
that we should go through life without
questioning almost everything that we're around. Many

75
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:21,639
things, you can appreciate something more
if you understand it. I remember when

76
00:06:21,639 --> 00:06:25,399
I would ask my mother why can't
I do that? Because I said so,

77
00:06:25,959 --> 00:06:29,720
Yeah, that doesn't tell you anything, doesn't help be anything. Then

78
00:06:29,759 --> 00:06:33,040
there's that whole thing about discipline.
We do need to have discipline, We

79
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:38,000
need to have law and order,
we need to have rules, yep,

80
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:43,519
but that's for the greater good.
Then there are the laws and the rules

81
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:48,639
that are put into effect for the
convenience of those who are in power or

82
00:06:48,639 --> 00:06:55,800
who have control, and that's wherein
the problem lies. So I would,

83
00:06:56,199 --> 00:07:02,680
I hope. And I'm thinking about
my own my own children. We had

84
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:06,160
when they were here this weekend,
a long chat about this very thing.

85
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:12,319
How do you how did you grow
up? How did you become the thinkers

86
00:07:12,319 --> 00:07:15,079
that you are? They were exposed
to a lot of books, and they

87
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:18,600
read a lot, and they got
a lot out of it. And hopefully,

88
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:23,959
you know, whatever the experience is, maybe you're a good kettleball player

89
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:31,319
who goes let them play kettleball or
pickleball or whatever. Shape your your children

90
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:35,040
by letting them shape themselves as long
as they're not doing anything to hurt themselves.

91
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:41,879
I think that's it all right.
Our Christmas good News story for this

92
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:46,879
portion of the program is a focus
on an Oklahoma man who seems to be

93
00:07:46,879 --> 00:07:50,639
making Christmas a bit brighter for those
in his neighborhood. The entire neighborhood literally

94
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:58,519
is covered in Christmas lights. This
guy's name is Stephen Dunkelberg. He decided

95
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:03,000
to bring all of the lights this
wonder if he will, of the holidays

96
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:07,279
of the season to his block.
He noticed his house was the only one

97
00:08:07,319 --> 00:08:11,160
that had the lights on it.
He said, quote, I knew there

98
00:08:11,199 --> 00:08:13,560
were some older people who lived on
the streets, so I figured they weren't

99
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:18,160
going to hang their own lights.
I knew how expensive it could be.

100
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:24,000
So he had a bunch of extra
lights around and he was physically the ability

101
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:28,199
to hang him up. So he
thought that he would do the right thing

102
00:08:28,199 --> 00:08:31,320
and see if the neighbors wanted to
have some lights put up. And then

103
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:39,399
he went around and asked everybody.
So he started decorating seventeen hundred bulbs.

104
00:08:39,399 --> 00:08:46,600
He had twenty two homes on the
road where he lived. And that's what

105
00:08:46,799 --> 00:08:52,600
better Christmas gift can you gift the
people in your neighborhood to celebrate the season?

106
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:58,799
Right, And he asked everybody's permission
to make sure nobody was against it.

107
00:08:58,879 --> 00:09:01,919
And there are some neighbors who he
who he had ever even met,

108
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:07,440
and he they became close. He's
developed all these all these new relationships with

109
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:11,080
his neighbors by doing this. And
he used to own a landscaping company and

110
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:15,399
one of their offerings was to hang
Christmas lights, so he had no problem

111
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:20,320
scaling these roofs and yeah, hanging
things up around, Yep, good for

112
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:24,320
him. What a neat. It's
just neat, neat, neat, neat.

113
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:33,720
Here's another. This is sort of
thinking about how people can overcome odds.

114
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:41,000
A teenager named Peter park What is
the what's the what's Peter Parker?

115
00:09:41,879 --> 00:09:45,720
Was that the name of the Spider
Man? Yeah, this guy's name is

116
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:52,600
Peter park He's not like Peter Parker, but he is brilliant and that has

117
00:09:52,639 --> 00:09:56,759
seen him become the youngest attorney in
California. How about this. Listen to

118
00:09:56,799 --> 00:10:00,519
this, listen talking this kind of
I'm putting all of these in case you

119
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,279
haven't figured out what I'm doing here. I see what you're doing there,

120
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:09,039
putting all these stories together of people
who have achieved a great deal and how

121
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:16,399
they've done it. This was a
moment in history. He is working now

122
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:24,519
at the Tulari County District Attorney's Office. He passed the California bar and he's

123
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:30,039
seventeen. How about that. He
started high school when he was thirteen.

124
00:10:31,519 --> 00:10:35,200
Let's see Cypress, Californias, where
he's from. He enrolled in a four

125
00:10:35,279 --> 00:10:39,559
year doctorate of law degree at Northwestern
at the same time he started high school.

126
00:10:41,879 --> 00:10:46,159
Good for him, and so he
has passed, graduated from high school

127
00:10:46,159 --> 00:10:50,960
a couple of years ago, focused
on law school. Graduated this year and

128
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:56,720
so he's taken the bar and he's
passed it at seventeen. He says he

129
00:10:56,759 --> 00:11:03,600
aspires to become a prosecutor because he's
driven by moral obligation to uphold liberty,

130
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:09,519
equality and justice. About that,
there's something to admire, right, His

131
00:11:09,799 --> 00:11:15,919
parents are proud of him. But
just think of what it took the focus

132
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:20,279
and back again to what I started
with a few minutes ago, the whole

133
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:24,159
business. But let people be who
they are. How do you know what

134
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:30,279
they'll amount to unless you let them
and encourage them to do what it is.

135
00:11:31,399 --> 00:11:35,200
I find, especially on the West
Coast where there are a lot of

136
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:43,519
Evasians who have immigrated from various parts
Korea, Vietnam, some Chinese. They're

137
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:48,000
very good students in the main and
they are very serious about it. And

138
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:52,799
so in this circumstance, God loved
this guy. Wondering what his career is

139
00:11:52,840 --> 00:12:00,799
going to be like over the next
twenty thirty forty years. Huh. Part

140
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,519
of what we do in our social
media segment is focus on people who are

141
00:12:03,519 --> 00:12:07,200
celebrities. Some of the trending things
and one of the names that's trending today.

142
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:13,840
Jay is Alicia Keyes, who did
something that surprised a lot of people.

143
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:22,080
Forty three years old. She was
on a train going into London and

144
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:26,440
she got off the train and started
singing, which is kind of an interesting

145
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:33,279
thing, a surprise to folks in
the London train station for sure. She

146
00:12:33,519 --> 00:12:37,960
played a string of her hits on
a piano that had been donated by Elton

147
00:12:37,039 --> 00:12:43,480
John. This is a really accomplished
you know, she has fifteen Grammys to

148
00:12:43,519 --> 00:12:50,200
her credit. She was in London
over the weekend to headline a jingle Bell

149
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:54,440
Ball, if you will, at
the Big Arena in London. So she

150
00:12:56,559 --> 00:13:01,519
sang a number of songs and the
people there obviously loved it. The fans

151
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:05,039
were recording. You know, everybody's
got a camera, so a lot of

152
00:13:05,039 --> 00:13:11,240
the stuff was posted on x.
So imagine any place where you travel on

153
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:16,480
a bus, traine or even a
plane and you get off the off the

154
00:13:16,519 --> 00:13:22,879
plane and somebody there is singing entertaining
and then you look at oh, I

155
00:13:22,919 --> 00:13:28,840
know who she is. That's Alicia
Keys. So good. That's kind of

156
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:33,039
private concert with a bunch of strangers
at the train station. Well, when

157
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:35,480
you go to a concert, aren't
they all strangers? I mean, really

158
00:13:35,519 --> 00:13:39,240
and truly, but that's a bigger
venue. This is more of an intimate

159
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:43,000
kind of situation. Yeah, it's
like your own private concert. So did

160
00:13:43,039 --> 00:13:46,799
she say what prompted her to do
that? Why did she why did she

161
00:13:46,919 --> 00:13:50,440
find this was the right time to
do this? And I go back to

162
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:54,320
where and saw the piano. Yeah, I mean, this chanel really sits

163
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:58,159
there. It's the one that Sir
Elton John had had donated and so it's

164
00:13:58,159 --> 00:14:01,399
always there, kind of welcoming for
anybody wants to come play it. And

165
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:07,360
she shared her incredible talents. Yeah, isn't that she got a big voice.

166
00:14:07,879 --> 00:14:11,919
I don't remember quite what she looks
like, but I know it's surprising

167
00:14:11,759 --> 00:14:16,519
how some people like Celine Dion for
example, has a big voice and she's

168
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:20,240
so slight, matter of fact,
she's I saw a preview of a movie

169
00:14:20,679 --> 00:14:24,879
that she's in, first time she's
ever in a movie. I forget what

170
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:26,519
the name of it was, and
I forget her with the other stars of

171
00:14:26,519 --> 00:14:31,279
her. It's a romantic comedy and
she plays herself, which is kind of

172
00:14:31,279 --> 00:14:37,559
interesting. But I mean to back
to having big voices as some people who

173
00:14:37,279 --> 00:14:41,679
you know, Dolly Parton's got a
big voice. She's not certainly slight.

174
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:48,159
And then you think about some of
those operetta the opera singers. These women

175
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:52,000
have big heft and they needed to
sing belt out the tunes the way they

176
00:14:52,039 --> 00:14:56,039
do. So I guess it takes
all types. But anyway, congratulations to

177
00:14:56,080 --> 00:15:01,919
Alicia Keys for opening up and giving
of talented Very nice. I'm Greg.

178
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:05,120
I'm sixty eight years old. I
grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, majored

179
00:15:05,159 --> 00:15:11,039
in business administration. I do motivational
speaking in addition to substitute teaching. Part

180
00:15:11,039 --> 00:15:13,279
of the reason for my motivational speaking
is I kind of feel like I have

181
00:15:13,279 --> 00:15:16,799
a calling or giving back to the
younger generation. You know, the golden

182
00:15:16,879 --> 00:15:20,919
rule is do unto others you'd have
them do unto you. My wife,

183
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:24,919
Wanda, as a senior flight attendant. She's been flying for over thirty years.

184
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:28,919
We do laugh quite a bit.
I think most adults will start realizing

185
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,480
that they don't recall things as quickly
as they used to, or they don't

186
00:15:31,519 --> 00:15:37,480
remember things as vividly as they once
did. I've been taking privilegen for about

187
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:41,440
three years now. People say to
me periodical, man, you got a

188
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:48,639
memory like an alphib It's really really
helped me tremendously prevagen, healthier brain,

189
00:15:48,039 --> 00:15:52,519
better life. Greg Freeley is a
paid testimonialist and real privilegen user. Based

190
00:15:52,519 --> 00:15:56,600
on the clinical study of subgroups of
individuals who were cognitively normal or mildly impaired.

191
00:15:56,720 --> 00:16:00,000
This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, you prevent any disease.

192
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,559
Got to have the spirit. So
where I am? I wonder if

193
00:16:03,559 --> 00:16:08,279
this is going on in your community? I ask because maybe it's a suggestion

194
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:15,919
that you can make. In many
communities, there are parking meters in the

195
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:21,159
downtown shopping district, right, and
you forget to put the money in,

196
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:25,240
or you don't have a card or
whatever it is, and so you get

197
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:30,600
a ticket. Well, in many
communities, maybe these are forward thinking communities.

198
00:16:30,919 --> 00:16:33,039
I don't think there should be.
I actually think parking meters in a

199
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:37,440
downtown when there are so many malls
and you're trying so hard to get people

200
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:42,039
to come downtown anyway, I think
parking meters are dumb in most municipal areas.

201
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:47,240
But at any rate, if they
have them and they're enlightened, perhaps

202
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:52,600
your town or city is going to
give the folks who come downtown to shop.

203
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:57,000
Give a hand to folks who are
just trying to make it the retail

204
00:16:57,039 --> 00:17:03,519
folks. Parking meters free? How
about that from now until Christmas? Jay

205
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:07,400
Good idea? Right, Well,
especially if if you grew up or you

206
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:10,519
were you've been in an area for
so long that you remember a time when

207
00:17:10,519 --> 00:17:14,880
there were not parking meters on those
side streets or in certain parking lots,

208
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:18,000
and all of a sudden they're there
and it's like, wait, where these

209
00:17:18,039 --> 00:17:21,960
come from? Why are they here
now? Well, it certainly will be

210
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:26,720
open on Christmas Day, so take
advantage of all of the things. We

211
00:17:26,759 --> 00:17:32,279
have the annual Pops concert here in
Boston, which people will see I think

212
00:17:32,319 --> 00:17:37,519
PBS broadcasts at all over the all
over the country. And then there are

213
00:17:37,559 --> 00:17:42,319
the questions about we're going to do
a special holiday Christmas and a New Year's

214
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:47,240
program for those of you who want
to listen on the big days, we'll

215
00:17:47,279 --> 00:17:51,640
be here, Jay and I.
Anyway, the idea that there is something

216
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:55,920
else open for business on Christmas.
There are a lot of people, you

217
00:17:55,960 --> 00:18:00,160
know, I've had a few Jewish
girlfriends in my time, and we always

218
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:04,640
go to the Chinese restaurant for Christmas
because that seems to be what's open.

219
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:11,480
And you can go in any major
area or small wherever there are Jewish people,

220
00:18:11,799 --> 00:18:18,839
they seem to all gravitate to the
Chinese restaurant on Christmas Day. Listen.

221
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:23,559
So, but I think most of
especially the local restaurants, but most

222
00:18:23,559 --> 00:18:27,279
of the chains too, will be
closed I think on Christmas Eve and Christmas

223
00:18:27,319 --> 00:18:33,880
Day. I think they're too closing
early, opening late. Yeah, we

224
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:38,279
have with their family a local pizza
chain that's going to be open. Also,

225
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:41,519
do you have Dave and Busters where
you are and number of those?

226
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:45,440
Yeah, that's going to be open
on Christmas Day here where we are.

227
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:52,359
But I'm noticing that there are more
and more Christmas well Christmas Eve, more

228
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:59,359
than Christmas Day where and also well
obviously New Year's Eve people want to,

229
00:19:00,319 --> 00:19:03,559
you know, going to restaurants and
celebrating for the most part. But let's

230
00:19:03,559 --> 00:19:07,799
see here. I see the Uno
Pizzeria and Grill is going to be open.

231
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:12,440
PF. Chang's is going to be
open. And I'm giving you the

232
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:18,240
heads up because these are all national
chains. There are some local restaurants as

233
00:19:18,279 --> 00:19:22,799
well, but the national chains there
seem to be more the local restaurants seem

234
00:19:22,839 --> 00:19:27,240
to be closed. National chains seem
to be open for those of you like

235
00:19:27,319 --> 00:19:33,079
Applebee's is supposed to be open and
anything on Christmas Eve. Let's see here

236
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:37,839
we have a few family owned businesses
in our area that will close down for

237
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:42,279
a few days, a couple of
days because they want all of their employees

238
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:45,240
too to have the opportunity to travel
to be with family if that's what they

239
00:19:45,279 --> 00:19:48,519
need to do, so they just
fully close down, which is kind of

240
00:19:48,559 --> 00:19:53,839
like good for them. Well,
I think some of the restaurant the national

241
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:59,559
chains will make it be open limited
hours, but you better call ahead with

242
00:19:59,599 --> 00:20:04,440
a reserv Buffalo Wild Wings, Burger
King supposed to be opened. See a

243
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:07,400
lot of them. Look at Chili's
is supposed to be open Christmas Eve.

244
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:15,839
Cracker Barrel also just on Christmas Eve. Del Taco, Denny's, Domino's,

245
00:20:15,079 --> 00:20:21,160
Duncan Donuts. Wow, five guys, they're around the country. I think

246
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:25,559
here, there, and everywhere.
Golden Corral, how about you stopping there

247
00:20:25,599 --> 00:20:32,359
and have some fried fish. The
Eye Hops will be open. Let's see

248
00:20:32,839 --> 00:20:37,119
who else do we have? The
Margaritaville restaurants will be open big time.

249
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:41,160
McCormick and schmicks, you pronounce it
there In a lot of big cities,

250
00:20:41,279 --> 00:20:48,119
McDonald's will be open, looks like
Olive Garden on Christmas Eve and the outback

251
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:52,880
the same way Panda Express open.
Well, a lot of these big chains

252
00:20:52,920 --> 00:21:00,119
they cater people's Christmas Eve parties too. That's kind of a big, a

253
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:03,680
big money looking day for them.
Yeah. Right, anyway, you look

254
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:07,880
around and see what's what and who's
who? So it's where are we?

255
00:21:07,039 --> 00:21:11,680
The third, fourth day, fifth
day? Wait a minute, Honkikah was

256
00:21:11,759 --> 00:21:15,519
last Friday started, It's a Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday wins a

257
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:22,200
fifth day of Hanukkah and being celebrated
as are a lot of other things.

258
00:21:22,279 --> 00:21:26,119
I fought I find myself. I'm
fighting with myself as to whether I want

259
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:32,920
to tell the story or not about
this right wing nutcase in the Polish Parliament

260
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:38,559
who last night extinguished candles on a
minora. They were lit for Hanukkah.

261
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:45,039
Imagine the disruption A lot of you
know a lot of Jews who stayed family,

262
00:21:45,079 --> 00:21:48,799
stayed in Poland after World War Two. They were pretty much extinguished.

263
00:21:48,039 --> 00:21:52,240
A lot of them went to Israel, but many of them stayed there.

264
00:21:52,319 --> 00:21:59,559
So obviously lots of denouncement and that
sort of thing. But what motivates somebody

265
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:03,640
to be that thick? Maybe that's
what it is to be that intolerant.

266
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:07,480
How does it affect you? See, this is part of the people who

267
00:22:07,519 --> 00:22:14,519
are The term anti Semite is being
misused and overused and improperly used these days.

268
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:23,759
But maybe xenophobia fits into it anyway. This guy, Uh, there's

269
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:29,119
he's he's worried quote unquote that Poland
is going to be turned into a Jewish

270
00:22:29,319 --> 00:22:34,319
state. And he is somebody in
the Polish Parliament who wants homosexuality to be

271
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:41,160
criminalized. So you talk about going
back to the dark ages. And there

272
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:44,960
are people, you know, in
every country who agree with this one way

273
00:22:45,039 --> 00:22:51,640
or another, but there to be
this sort of out there with it.

274
00:22:51,759 --> 00:22:56,400
He grabbed a fire extinguisher and put
out the candles on it. Yeah,

275
00:22:56,480 --> 00:23:00,400
so it's like it's knowing this was
an accident, not his quote unquote punishment.

276
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:06,480
It's a financial penalty. So he's
going to lose his pay half of

277
00:23:06,519 --> 00:23:12,200
three month's salary and then per DMS
for half a year. Uh. You

278
00:23:12,279 --> 00:23:17,880
wonder, don't you. I wonder
about people and what motivates them all right,

279
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:25,119
here's some good. The focus on
a fellow who had stage four cancer.

280
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:30,400
This is something again, this is
kind of a Christmasy thing because people

281
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:37,480
think more like this at this time
of year. This fellow back in May

282
00:23:37,279 --> 00:23:44,240
was complaining to his wife about having
his stomach ache. And the wife of

283
00:23:44,319 --> 00:23:48,160
the man's name is Mike Broderick's wife's
name is Emily. He went to the

284
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:53,559
bathroom and he didn't like what he
saw in the toilet, so he went

285
00:23:53,559 --> 00:23:57,880
to the emergency room. These two
people have been married for twenty five years.

286
00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:03,079
They had four children, and he
thought he had kidney stones, but

287
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:08,279
after he had a diagnosis turned out
to be bile duct cancer. He's a

288
00:24:08,279 --> 00:24:14,839
firefighter and an army veteran. His
wife said he was the healthiest guy I

289
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:22,599
know. Cancer was the last thing
on our mind. So anyway, he

290
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:30,559
has stage four cancer and he couldn't
work, so he couldn't pay the mortgage,

291
00:24:30,319 --> 00:24:34,599
he couldn't pay the insurance, couldn't
pay for anything. And so apparently

292
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:45,079
there's a nonprofit called I forgotten the
name of the of the nonprofit building homes

293
00:24:45,079 --> 00:24:52,799
for heroes. So they stepped in
to assist him by covering his insurance.

294
00:24:52,759 --> 00:24:57,039
And for pay, and they paid
off the mortgage on his house. How

295
00:24:57,079 --> 00:25:03,079
about that, he says, humbling. He's been in the National Guard and

296
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:07,720
he became a firefighter sixteen years.
A lot of the firefighters on the job

297
00:25:07,799 --> 00:25:15,240
came to sit with him, spend
time with him. So whether he survives

298
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:19,039
or not, I guess that's the
question. He's in pretty tough shape.

299
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:23,359
But think about how much more I
mean, this guy and his wife when

300
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:26,000
all of this was, when they
were told what was going to happen.

301
00:25:26,279 --> 00:25:34,000
Obviously we're up, we're emotionally focused. It started to cry about it well,

302
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:37,480
and getting a cancer diagnosis is shocking, let alone getting your diagnosis at

303
00:25:37,519 --> 00:25:44,799
stage four cancer. Yep, that's
unthinkable. But the fact that there are

304
00:25:44,839 --> 00:25:48,279
people. Is there more of this
goodness and light at this time of year?

305
00:25:48,599 --> 00:25:52,519
Is it as common as baking chocolate
chip cookies? Or do we see

306
00:25:52,559 --> 00:25:56,599
it? Do we just see it
and notice it more? Because yeah,

307
00:25:56,680 --> 00:26:00,279
maybe mindset to look for it.
Like what is that saying that we don't

308
00:26:00,319 --> 00:26:03,519
see things as they are? We
see things as we are? Yes,

309
00:26:03,759 --> 00:26:07,440
that's a great Yeah, that's true. That habits so gratulations there. Here's

310
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:15,799
a story from an airplane pilot announcing
a reveal bringing This is a Make a

311
00:26:15,839 --> 00:26:19,839
Wish Foundation story famous. They are
for giving children moments that they will never

312
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:26,839
ever ever forget. And here was
a trick played with the help of a

313
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:33,799
pilot. This is a youngster named
Jacob. He had an experience equal to

314
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:37,799
almost any other, you know,
meeting some big time guy. He was

315
00:26:37,839 --> 00:26:44,000
flying with his mother. The pilot
came on the intercom saying that he was

316
00:26:44,039 --> 00:26:49,440
proud of this young man, Jacob. Just before takeoff was you know,

317
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:53,279
put the Make a Wish people came
onto the plane, told a pilot what

318
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:59,200
was going on, and so he
announced it on the plane on the plane

319
00:26:59,279 --> 00:27:03,079
ride. Uh, and they were
bringing you my guess he was on his

320
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:07,119
way to Disney. That was part
of the h that was part of the

321
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:11,599
Make a Wish thing, Yeah,
sitting when so when the pipe yeah,

322
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:15,720
and when the pilot got word from
Make a Wish with some very important information

323
00:27:15,759 --> 00:27:19,839
about this child. And they got
some people a few rows back in on

324
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:29,440
this and the pilot said, unfortunately, you no longer qualify for receiving anything

325
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:32,839
with Make a Wish. And he
told the young man to turn around and

326
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:37,200
the people in the rows a couple
a couple of rows back were holding up

327
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:41,039
signs saying you are cancer free.
Uh huh. So he still got to

328
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:45,200
finish the wish that he was already
doing and going to Disney, but learned

329
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:48,400
in that way that he was no
longer free. He was cancer free.

330
00:27:48,559 --> 00:27:52,359
How beautiful? Then, yeah,
very nicely done, very nicely done.

331
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:55,880
All right. See, there's all
kinds of good stuff all around us.

332
00:27:56,079 --> 00:27:59,160

346
00:28:55,920 --> 00:29:00,119
media time here and a sad notes
here that is certainly on the top of

347
00:29:00,559 --> 00:29:04,720
most social media trending items when it
comes to celebrities. The passing of actor

348
00:29:04,799 --> 00:29:11,079
Andre Brauer, who was only sixty
one years old. Man, this guy

349
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:15,559
was a great comedic actor. He
was serious. I think he first became

350
00:29:15,599 --> 00:29:19,079
I said off the Air of You
Jay remember seeing him first in Homicide Life

351
00:29:19,079 --> 00:29:23,640
on the Street. But he was
in Brooklyn nine to nine. He was

352
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:33,039
in movies. He was with Denzel
Washington and Matthew Broderick in that movie called

353
00:29:33,079 --> 00:29:37,799
Glory. Nobody seems to know why
he died, but I'm guessing. I'm

354
00:29:38,079 --> 00:29:42,279
I'm guessing it was some kind of
cancer, because so get you fast.

355
00:29:42,359 --> 00:29:47,920
YEA. Only think his representatives have
confirmed that it was a recent illness.

356
00:29:48,079 --> 00:29:55,680
Yeah, yeah, I remember Frank
Pembleton, a name you wouldn't forget from

357
00:29:55,759 --> 00:30:00,480
homicide. I think that isn't that
where Munch came from too? He was

358
00:30:00,519 --> 00:30:06,359
in he started was that maybe it
was I think it was. I think

359
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:11,599
Bunch came from the same show,
not mistaken or the Yeah, I don't

360
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:15,759
know. I just these guys they
were really There was a group of really

361
00:30:15,759 --> 00:30:21,759
good actors that came out of this
time in television. So anyway, he

362
00:30:21,839 --> 00:30:26,319
was. I saw one person saying
he was a megawatt talent and an incredible

363
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:30,519
human being, apparently a very nice
smile. I said to you, jam

364
00:30:30,559 --> 00:30:36,079
when I was looking at some of
the pictures from his career. He's got

365
00:30:36,119 --> 00:30:40,880
that big, broad smile, and
he had a voice. He kind of

366
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:42,599
like James zerol Jones. You know, when you heard his voice, you

367
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:47,359
knew it was him. Even if
you didn't see a picture of him,

368
00:30:47,599 --> 00:30:52,279
you knew it was his voice.
So anyway, he went to Stanford,

369
00:30:52,119 --> 00:31:00,160
I went to Juilliard and he just
went got in and was popular and it

370
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:06,759
was very serious about his work.
Thus he got lots of different different roles

371
00:31:06,799 --> 00:31:11,039
and stuff, and I just found
him to be He was in a Good

372
00:31:11,079 --> 00:31:15,079
Fight, which was the offspring from
the Good Wife. Remember that he was

373
00:31:15,079 --> 00:31:18,000
in that. He's been in you
may look around. He was in the

374
00:31:18,039 --> 00:31:22,599
series Man of a Certain Age with
Ray Romano. Scott Bakula was in that

375
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:29,119
as well. So he's done so
much with the movie Duets along with Gwyneth

376
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:33,160
Paltrow and Huey Lewis. That was
a great film. I captain Raymond Holt

377
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:41,559
in Brooklyn nine nine. Absolutely,
that was a silly show. I had.

378
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:44,640
I liked it, and then I
didn't. Then I went back.

379
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:51,160
You know, he was in a
Thief that mini series. He was in

380
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:53,160
a film called A Soldiers Girl.
I'm just looking at some of the things

381
00:31:53,160 --> 00:32:00,480
on his on his resume, ten
thousand black men, name George, Yeah,

382
00:32:00,759 --> 00:32:06,480
eleven denominations, two wins, yep. I think he was in I'm

383
00:32:06,519 --> 00:32:09,279
trying to remember what he was in
with Chris and Oath. I don't remember.

384
00:32:09,759 --> 00:32:15,319
Well. He was in Tuskegee Airman, remember that. Anyway, passing

385
00:32:15,319 --> 00:32:22,720
of Andre Brower certainly gets noted today. Here's an item from social media following

386
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:28,240
up on a survey that has been
done by several different outlets, the Pew

387
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:34,839
Research Center among them, so it
has credibility studying social media use among teenagers.

388
00:32:35,319 --> 00:32:37,559
Apparently it's as high as ever,
what did they expect to find?

389
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:43,119
Wow, it's going now, it's
not going to go down unless you figure

390
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:47,839
a way to make it go down. To convince teenagers that is bad for

391
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:52,279
them, and we've certainly had plenty
of discussion about that, but it doesn't

392
00:32:52,279 --> 00:32:57,599
seem to have much impact on the
social media that the youngsters are using and

393
00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:01,720
the tools that they're using to access
this social media. Well, there's a

394
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:07,440
lot around addiction to phones and devices
anyway, and something parents can do as

395
00:33:07,519 --> 00:33:10,559
lead by example and curb their own
addiction. I su it's not just teens.

396
00:33:10,599 --> 00:33:15,319
I see so many adults that are
constantly scrolling on their phone. Yep,

397
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:21,079
they are makes bad. It's just
bad. Just think about that when

398
00:33:21,079 --> 00:33:23,400
you use it. You just think, folks before you do it. Who

399
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:27,720
is around and what are they going
to think? The next Stefan Good Day
