The next Stephen Good Day download with Doug and Jay Kirshner is made possible in
part by Kellatrin, which is the safe way for you to lose weight and
keep it off, and also by privileging keeping your brain healthy. Are you
ready? Yes, I'm ready to open your mouth so that sounds like mean
with my voice, it's like a dentist. And then as soon as they
get their hands in your mouth to start doing things, they ask questions.
So the weekend was full, or at least Friday was full. Thursday and
Friday full of singing thank you for doing your job with the Jennifer and John
Harper, my friend down in Florida. The couple of hours that you were
here, I got Rave reviews as usual. Yeah, yes, it's fantastic.
It's good stuff. So the day has spent. Bob Kay and I
have been together as some of you. Did you post that picture I posted
on the good Day website of me, Bob and Tavis Smiley? I didn't
post that one. I posted a different one. Have you and your father
my father? And of my father? Have your father me? And who
else was in that picture? I think somebody else is in that anyway,
Yes, there were three pictures from there. If you post the Tavis thing,
people would be interested in that. The idea of the Talker's annual convention
last Friday, bringing a lot of people from this world of conversation and the
issues of the day and how we survive, how we do what we do,
that sort of thing down at Hofstree University, which has a great campus
kind of in the middle of nowhere on Long Island, but it's a good
time. Bob and I spend the time going down and coming back again,
singing along to the music and the songs and talking about the things that we're
working on, because Bob certainly very strongly connected to this program, and so
it's just kind of a It was a good way for me to have a
little bit of a focus that was on the radio, but not on the
radio, you know what I mean. So meanwhile, we're back to life
liberty in the pursuit of issues and ideas and things that matter to you,
events, issues, people of the day, so that we can put a
lot of things together that are important to you. Your input is certainly important
to us. On social media Facebook and Instagram, at Good Day Radio Show
Twitter, Good Day on Air so what do you need to know in terms
of the ongoing issue of AM for every vehicle. That was a big topic
of discussion at the Talker's convention. As we learned, eighty one percent or
eighty two percent of the people that listen to talk on the radio listen to
it on the AM side. And there were those who brought up the issue
of and this was to be expected, and maybe it's true. I kind
of think there's something to this as well that the conservatives, the right wingers,
or whoever, however you want to describe them, all think that it's
because the government or many people who are high up in certain corporations that don't
like talk radio, they don't like the point of view that's presented by many
of these people to be gone. So and they haven't said those They the
people on the other side that are responsible haven't admitted to that. They have
said, oh no, this is not about that at all. They haven't
talked about it at all, which I think is even more interesting. So
now the folks at FEMA, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, are talking.
They have been the reason at least some nobody wants to say that they're doing
it to save AM talk radio. They're saying, we've got to have that
information. We've got to be able to have AM operating. We have to
have this important way of connecting. How many people don't have any other way
in case of an emergency, and you the emergency, what you know emergency?
How do you describe an emergency? Can be a weather emergency, can
be a national emergency, could be any number of things. But he responded
to or talked about what Senators markis Malarkey from Massachusetts and crews vote for cruse
and you'll lose said quote, where natural disasters such as hurricanes, tornadoes,
earthquake, strike, mobile phone service, the internet power, all of that
goes away and they aren't available for sources of emergency information. By contrast,
AM radio and the stations that occupy the band are recognized for providing their localities
citizens with both important context and transmission of life saving information. His fellow that
was speaking emphasized, guy that ran FEMA emphasized during his tenure at FEMA,
things like her Hurricane Katrina came on board and AM radio is the only way
that people actually found out what the heck was going on. Oh yeah,
well, and even to the point that in sci fi thrillers or any movies
where something happens and the you can't access data or internet or anything from your
phone or mobile devices, you see people coward listening to AM radio, even
when it's futuristic kind of stuff, they still have to revert back to AM
radio because it just extends the point that it's the only thing that will work
because it is district what it is. Yeah, right, exactly. And
by the way, this is not unique to America. AM radio is the
important transmission, the valued transmission method all around the world, especially in countries
where there isn't a lot of anything like Africa, some of the places in
South America, some of the distant places in Australia, those are all served
by important AM signals. So that conversation continues, that issue goes on,
and so I don't think you you know, there's I don't think there's a
reason to worry that it won't be taken care of it. Just as people
still want to put a limit out, well we'll do it for this year.
No leave it and don't mess with it, and stop scrowing around with
our safety and well being and our happiness, because we want to listen to
a lot of things, a lot of sports broadcasters. Again, back of
the talkers thing last Friday, we're talking about how important more than that number
I think when I say eighty one listen to talk radio, ninety some odd
percent listen to ball games on AM radio stations. So it's come on,
let's stop with the nonsense and these jerkial burghers that are saying, there's a
really there's a guy who's actually in Boston's he can He keeps like this is
a passionate Why gotta get rid of AM radio? It's no good, what
do we need it for? And he very obviously is motivated by his liberal
point of view or his left wing point of view. I guess to stop,
Chase keep reminding me to stop calling it liberal and conservative, because that's
not really what it is at any rate. This guy keeps writing opinion pages.
You know how this guy's wrong. That guy's wrong, you're not.
We got plenty of different ways to listen to this stuff. Well, you
know what, you may have it, Charlie, but not everybody has the
same devices that you do. And where does it say that we all have
to have those things? In many circumstances, they should be frankly outlawed because
there's a damned dangerous anyway. There's that, and of course there's the continuing
conversation about artificial intelligence, which we had on Friday as well, and what
does radio do? And how have we've already slipped into a place. I
don't want to say that we can't get out of it, but we are
quickly approaching a time and a place and a position where we will not be
able to control what artificial intelligence has to offer, if that's the nicest way
you can put it. It has in my mind, yeah, Or to
keep it from getting into the hands of the evil doers, yes, right,
the super villain George Bushers and the evil doers, the access of evil.
Who would let's see, the actors of evil would be Google, Microsoft,
and who would be the third one in that Google Microsoft and maybe what's
the name of Larry Ellison's company, Oracle? Yeah, those three they're the
access of evil. All right, there we go. Well, yeah,
but also like when you have the heads of the companies who are their main
purposes to develop AI and they are even like, y'all we need to slow
down. M Yeah, they are something. Yeah, all right, let's
see who's running for president. Surprise, surprise, Joe Biden's running. Got
everybody caught on that one. Wow, nobody would have expected Joe Biden to
run on the Democratic side. Joe Mansion. How about him for president?
He's the senator from West Virginia. He says he's thinking about he's mulling it
over. I guess that's the word he used. He's stirring the political pot
because well, he's actually a Democrat from West Virginia. But he wouldn't run
as a Democrat. He said he'd run as a third party presidential candidate,
and so the Democrats are attacking him. He for a lotteries the opposed parts
of the of the Biden spending program. That certainly shows some starch on his
part, because Joe Biden's spending program sucks. Frankly, he said he's not
ruling out anything, not ruling anything out with respect to the third party bid.
He was Meet the Jerks on NBC. Isn't the guy who's running on
Meet the President? He Chuck Todd is another great American? Oh thanks,
yeah, he's I wrote on top of that story, who cares? And
I guess that tells at all these people trying to make themselves. One of
the reasons he's leaving is because the ratings are so bad. I don't know
anything about this Christian Wilker. What do you know about her? She's a
White House correspondent, I guess. And he says, I'm working too hard.
Work has consumed me, and I'm not going to let her ruin my
life. I think that sounds like that's a good story. It's not really
the reason, but it's a good story anyway. He wants to focus on
long term journalism, Yeah, go get him. He's about as one sided.
He's as bad as the people on MSNBC and the CNN. It's the
same stuff, all right. My point of view is the most important point
of view. And you're all gonna know, well, I think about this
and we don't care. And when you're a newscaster, that's so dangerous.
Did you know what taying. Did you know why Tom Brokaw's politics were No,
I didn't. I never knew what were until he wrote the book about
America, And it wasn't even real obvious. They have the book The Greatest
American Generation. Nobody really knew what he was thinking. Anyway, Tim Russert,
I think he knew it was he kind of The ratings were the best
when he was running it. He was doing it Russia on the Evan Broke
only did it for a little while. David Gregory he was not nothing special
and Todd nothing special because we don't have any really good newspeople around it are
special for anything. So anyway, something food for thoughts. We are two
weeks away, I believe, from the first day of spring. No,
hello, Doug, and maybe summertime already. It seems like we just started
spring, hella. Seems like we just started a winter before you know it,
don't Yeah, all right, well it's June fifth. Write that on
your checks if you having to be old school like me and actually send the
checks out. That's how that works, all right. In the Celebrity News
Department, on social media, trending by the names Rihanna, Taylor's, swift
and Beyonce. Well, let's see what do they have. They're incoming.
They are all singers, right, they're all female. Yes, they're all
fairly young, but that is not why we were talking about them together.
The Swifties love listening to Taylor's shift. Right, You're a swifty, aren't
you, Jake. Yeah, I'm not to the level of like looking for
Easter eggs and all of that, but I do like her music and I
like she would be my favorite of this group. Then there's Beyonce, who
is pretty smart cookie it comes to a business time. She's done very well
a matter of fact, on this list of the richest female celebrities. That's
what we're looking at here. Rihanna is number two, who's worth one point
four billion dollars. Taylor Swift number four, She's worth seven hundred forty million
dollars. Beyonce is number seven on the list, worth five hundred forty million.
Now I'm thinking you want to know who else was on the list?
Right? Top fifteen richest women in entertainment, All right, Number fifteen to
Shonda Rhimes, who's worth a quarter of a billion dollars. Serena Williams net
worth tops almost three hundred million dollars, thirteen Ellen, who's net worth about
three hundred and eighty million dollars. Barbara streisand her net worth about four hundred
and thirty million. Rhese Wetherspoon tapping in at about four and a half a
minute, four hundred. Let's check that again, four hundred fifty million dollars.
Dolly Parton just about the same. Judge Judy getting pretty close to a
half a billion dollars, right, Look at Judge Judy cop As is Selene
on Beyonce. I told you it's five forty. Madonna's net worth is five
hundred and eighty million, Kylie Jenner six hundred and eighty million. Let's see
here, Taylor, I gave you seven forty. Kim Kardashian worth one point
two billion dollars, and the number one person because Rihanna's number two. Number
one person on the list is Oprah, who is worth two and a half
billion dollars. So there you go. About the super Bowl, yep,
the super Bowl of wealth women. There are a lot of musicians on here,
Grammy winners and all that good stuff. So that is that's the official
list from Forbes magazine of the richest female celebrities in America. There we go,
good for them. What's it all about? The doug Ee, the
neighbors who saved a dad and four children who were, as you might imagine,
in the middle of the nights eighty five years old, had a woman.
Nobodyknews who the woman was. They alerted this family next door, father
and four children, the house was on fire. And wow, how about
I'd like to imagine put yourself in the position of either of these two families,
right the one family fellow the father told police he looked out in his
yard around five to thirty, checks for animals. He saw a puff of
smoke coming from the garage of his neighbor's home, and then he said,
his name is Santo Olivio. He went out and asked a woman who was
walking down the street, what happened to the where's that smoke coming from?
Then they both tried to alert the residence in the home, banging on the
windows, banging on the doors, and this went on for a minute or
so before they were They went back to the house and called nine one one,
and then they went back and kept banging on the door. Yeah,
to the back door, bating. Almost have to assume that people are in
there. They're still sleeping. Not in my house, probably not in yours
either. But yeah, the average person is at five thirty. So this
is a couple of people who were very, very lucky. These things happened.
This actually happened to meet. They have a fire in your house had
a fire when I was a young boy. I don't know, let's see
how old that maybe four or five years old. My mother had fallen asleep
on the couch down my room was up over sort of what an old shed
that had been added to the house, and my mother fell asleep smoking,
and the couch caught on fire, and then the wall got on fire,
and then the room gone on fire, and the house filled with smoke.
My mother was gone to the world, and she was in the room.
And I woke up and went downstairs and started making a lot of racket,
and I called and I was just barely able. I mean, I went
across the street to wake up our friends across the street, and I went
upstairs very quietly. The dog, that family's dog was was pretty tough.
He understood me, and it was okay. But I didn't like that.
Went up the stairs and woke up Dan and Elsie to tell him. I
whispered in Elsie's ears, our house is on fire. Because I didn't,
I said, I didn't want to wake you up. Yeah, So anyway,
that's something you don't ever won and so traumatic for at such a young
age. Did you have smoke detectors? Yeah, back, and that was
nineteen fifty one, fifty two. Well, it seems like it's so a
lot of people don't have smoke detectors. And if they do, the word
have to take batteries. Yeah, they don't keep the batteries updated. Yeah.
Yeah, you'd think someone would figure out a way to get them all
connected using regular like Crispy and said, the batteries are cheaper, but there
are systems that you can put in. I think most big businesses with big
buildings have the ones that are connected via a regular electricity in some way,
shape or form. So at any rate, there it's something that is very
much a part of what we ought to be thinking about for our own safety
and the safety and security of our families. Do you see the picture of
this? This was on Reddit and I may list in a while I look
at some of this stuff. This is a this is from India story of
a man who went into the water to get a cobra. Now, if
I were in the proximity of a cobra, I don't think i'd be going
into the water. I think i'd be going out of the water. But
apparently the oprah good dug. The cobra was having a hard time drinking,
and this man recognized it. So we went into the water to make sure
that cobra could get water. And then when he was kind of like teaching
a calf to drink. We have some calves on the farm now, and
they know how to drink from their mothers if they're teach but they don't necessarily
know how to drink out of a bottle, so we teach them how to
do that. And this guy was teaching this this snake how to drink water,
and the snake was parched. And then the father said, I had
no idea that they drank so much water. I don't think that's the headline,
though, frankly, it's probably another headline, all right, Like there
are some people who it doesn't matter what animal, if an animal needs help,
they will they will don't help, jump right in. But when it
comes to a cobra, a lot of people probably the majority, or like,
are you are on your own cobra? Yeah, yeah, it's One
of the responses was that man had more trust in the snake than I have
for my future. Wow. That's kind of that's a little tough, right,
that is dark all right. Also around the world, in India,
two hundred people were killed over the weekend and hundreds more were injured in that
big train crash. You see the story of this, the death toll actually
continuing. That was the that was the for the first the first report of
this, which was on Saturday, three trains crashing into one another. How
in the world does that happen? And the numbers for an hour that there
was some kind of signaling error. Yeah, that's what you would think,
right, But yeah, and then that goes a question is it mechanical error
or is this human error? Yep, we've got a lot of I think
the accidents have died down here though. We had a whole bunch of them
all at once, and they seem and you've noticed that as a result that
we had all this focus on what was going on, what in the acts
wrong with our system? And Bootage fumbled and stumbled and mumbled and mumbled around
it every here and answer to the question what really happened? I haven't have
you know, and nobody was really talking about anything. It's like that new
cycle has ended and we were on some new stuff. On to the next
stuff. All right, Well, as long as we're in India, here's
the story of an official who was suspended after he drained a reservoir to retrieve
the phone that he dropped while he was taking a selfie next to the reservoir.
That yeah, that's a real story. Yep, it is the real
story. He could he lost his smartphone he dropped while he was taking this
selfie next to the reservoir. So he this was in a damn Actually he
was near on top of a damn. He was. He first asked some
local divers to jump in to find the device because it had sensitive government data
on it. I'm betting it had some pictures of him that he didn't want
people to see. Anyway, they didn't the first round didn't work. Hired
divers to go get it for you. Well he did and didn't work.
Couldn't find it the divers. Yeah, local divers jumped in to the reservoir
to find it and they didn't. So then the guy orders two million liters
of water to be pumped out of the reservoir. So this was enough to
irrigate thousands of acres of land. Because India is having a really tough summer,
and it's just on the cusp, you know, they're on the lower
part on the equator. So at any rate, the videos that went viral
I showed this guy sitting under an umbrella as the pumps run to drain the
water from the reservoir, and anyway at the water and the reservoir he said
wasn't usable for irrigation. I don't know that that was true. But eventually
they found the phone, but they couldn't start it because it was water logged.
Hello you dummy, Yeah right, so that water huh? And do
you know what kind of government official he was? He was a local food
inspector. Oh fabulous, what kind of not just incriminating on a personal level,
but the excuse was there's important government documents that can't fall into the wrong
hands. Well, what do you have you are a food inspector? What
access to this kind of clarified or classified situation you have? There you go,
some F sixteen fighters from the DC National Guard scrambling over the weekend at
supersonic speed to chase a private plane whose pilot was unresponsive. Isn't that plane
crash? Plane crash? Right? Yeah? I did, yeah, right,
So under the circumstances, they did the right thing because they didn't know
where it was going to go. But those of you who live in northern
Virginia and in Maryland, you probably heard the sonic boom that was loud,
shook a lot of houses because these planes took off so fast. This Cessna
was in restricted airspace. It crashed into an area in central Virginia. But
wow, this is something you know. I think they're still trying to figure
it out. The flight records indicate the plane took off from an eastern Tennessee
airport in route too Long Island, but did one hundred and eighty degree turn
near the destination and headed back down along the same flight of same fight city
endure his flight path it had been on. The pilot didn't respond, and
apparently the one of the fighter pilots got close enough to this plane to see
the pilot was not responsive. Obviously he couldn't move. There were four passengers
I think on board, right, and I don't none of them been found.
I don't think have they not to my knowledge. And there was when
this was all going on, people on the crowd heard a sonic boom and
had no idea what the situation was. Yeah, yeah, so that's what
it was. For those are you who didn't get the straight story. Here's
the update on the wildfires in Michigan three square miles sparked by a campfire.
Wow, this tells you it's pretty dry and pretty hot in many areas of
Michigan have been very warm there this past week, and so this is small
town. The fire started late Saturday, continued into yesterday morning, scorched two
thousand acres. I was eighty five percent contained though by the end of the
day yesterday. But imagine if you live in that area, think about being
near anybody who is near the California fires or any of those Northwestern fires,
or any of these fires anywhere. The pines and many of the old growth
so dry that it will burn and burn fast. So it closed part of
Interstate seventy five with all of the smoke and that sort of thing. So
at any rate, it's actually probably good other than what damage it might cause
to homes. It's good to burn that stuff down. It should be burned,
and with regularity, you know, they will. The trouble that they
had in California when that thing when those things have happened in the past.

been that Privagen seems to help me recall things and also think more clearly,
have a crisper ability to remember and think through things. And I enthusiastically recommend

This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any
disease. Time for some celebrity machinations, if you will, courtesy of social
media and the pronouncements made by people and they see these stories. Hey,
did you see this? Or how about that? So we'll spread a little
of the lunacy around. And speaking of lunacy, William H. Macy the
Act has a problem with his neighbor, who apparently lives not in a bad
neighborhood, but a neighborhood in Los Angeles, that he has got a fairly
close next door neighbor, and so he has started a six hundred thousand dollars
lawsuit against his next door neighbors, a fellow named Pierce Brown, claiming this
is back and forth. Brown's file the lawsuit as well, claiming that not
that Macy knowingly and intentionally instructed a team of landscapers to remove several healthy,
old, mature pine trees and other vegetation. So if you look at the
court documents, you can see that Macy's lawyers deny generally and specifically each and
every allegation. So anyway, this filing from him demands the entire case be
dismissed with prejudice. You know, one of the things that bothers me is
that lawyers, so it's so easy to start a lawsuit. I've been involved
in a few over my life, and they just they go on and on
and on because the system and nothing ever, you know, it gets accomplisher,
takes years and spends lots of time, you know, spent. It's
not on your common thing like this, thirty forty thousand dollars in legal fees
to straighten something like that out that people who are and it looks to me
like the next door neighbors, the bad guy. That's the way it's portrayed.
And a couple of stories that I've seen get a life. You know,
these people just amazing things that motivate people. And if they see somebody
with money, sometimes they just start a suit to see if they didn't get
something. All right, here's Leah Remony getting her diploma. She's fifty two
years old. She has revealed on social media that she's completed her second semester
at New York. You she decided to get out of acting and focus on
her education. She only had an eighth grade education, spent thirty five years
in a cult. I didn't know that this is scientology, and so that
we all, I guess we didn't know that she's fifty two now, and
so she is finishing. She finished high school, she started college. She
got a couple more years to go and says that she's bound and determined to
finish it. She still has a I think it's called People Puzzler or a
program. She said there that she wanted to have a Liberal Arts degree.
I don't know what to do with that, frankly these days, but at
any rate, I think it's more important that she has goals and then she
meets them. And most people have seen this. The docuseries called Leah Remany
Scientology in the aftermath, that pretty much sets her apart from a lot of
people who think that scientology is great. So that's what's up with Leah Remedy
here. So it's great business time for Ladron. I would think the phones
would be ringing off the hook and people will be ordering nauseum. That's right.

said time now for a visit from Tom Mkreidler, a co host with Leslie
Sagretti, the famous money Pit home improvement radio program here around the country every
week and also you can take advantage of their twenty four hour a day,
seven days a week features at Moneypit podcast moneypit dot com for slash podcast,
and they also have a newsletter that is fabuloso. So each week we try
to pick Tom's brain, and some days that's easier than others. But let's
see, let's find out we actually we're talking off the air about pools.
Yeah, because I'm thinking about a pool here, but they're so dog gone
expensive it doesn't really fit into I have a great place for it. But
then there was a pool. Actually, you'd appreciate this when I was a
kid. The house that I live in now was the manor house for the
farm when I was a kid, and it's a big old colonial like a
courier an ives house, and the people who were in here had this huge
pool built. I remember swimming in it when I was a kid. We
got hot in the hayfield, we come over and swim and it was this
big thick wall gun eyed pool and there's a nice cabana on the other side
of the brooks well. The people that moved in after those folks moved out
filled the pool in because they were lawyers and they didn't want the liability.
This thing called a fence. Yeah, I could protect you from what unbelievable.
So I dug it's you know, it's about one hundred feet away from
the house, and I've been tempted to go out there and dig with my
back hoo to see if I could find a pool. But it's nothing going
to be left of it anyway, right, Yeah, but it's just one
of those things. But there's so many different variables. You and I were
talking about spools, Yeah, and then it's all popular. It's a combination
of a pool and a spa, and you know, basically it's a miniature
pool. And you can you can design these anyway you like. If you
want to, like a lap pool the converts to a spa, you can
have that. If you want it to be you know, more of a
soaking pool, you can have it that way. I will tell you though,
even though it's a small, smaller than a regular pool, it's just
as expensive. You don't understand why, because there's not so much the size
of the pool that impacts the price. It's the fact that you gotta get
to permits, you gotta dig the hole, you gotta have the same equipment,
you know, same electricity run on, that sort of thing. Yeah,
but they're really popular today. Yeah, I can see. I'd love
to have a pool again, just every day. I would be And you
were talking about how often you would use it. This is the expense and
that so it was and that's something that a lot of people would consider.
I'm in and out of the old house. I was in and out of
my pool in the morning, after I get off the air if it's a
hot day, into the pool I went. And then I'd go work on
the farm and come back after dark and be hot and sweaty. Grab us
bar a soap, jumping too the pool again. There you go. That's
right. So it was your bathtub was twenty eight thousand gallon bathtub. It
was always said at eighty eight degrees by that way, right. Yeah,
people said to me, oh, we got it so hot, because that's
why I like it. Thank you keep it the way. You want to
get your own pool? Yeah, thank you. Bring your own ice or
something. All right. Alex is listening to us down in Florida. It's
got a four year old central air conditioning system. He says, it works
well, except for the front room. It's always about five degrees hotter.
Any idea why and how I can fix this? Here we go. So
this is a typical situation. I have something very similar in my house.
You know, I have a room it happens to be the room where we
broadcast from, and it's the farthest room away from the air conditioning system.
So it gets let's say the least amount of cool air. It also happens
to be, unfortunately, on the west side of the house, which makes
it a very warm side of the house. So you know, I have
a couple of options here. I could run additional duct work, right,
or I could increase the return thence to pull more air back to it.
Or I could hit a supplemental system. And that's what I ended up doing.
I put a split uck lessen because it's a pretty big area and I
wanted to have it cool and comfortable and quiet, right. But you could
look into your duct system, Alex and talk with your HVAC contractor find out
if First of all, make sure you're getting plenty of air flow because sometimes
these older systems could have dampers in them which shut off parts of the airflow
into certain rooms. So make sure you're getting the full amount of air the
system has to deliver. Take a look at your return duck. If your
return duck is not in that same room, let's say it's in a hallway
and there may be a door between the two, you can undercut that door
so you have more space for the air to get back to the return duct.
Because it's not just you know, pushing cold air out, you've got
to bring it back to recool it for it to be efficient, So I
would look into those two things right there. And lastly, it is possible
to put in what's called a booster fan, which is sort of an inline
fan that goes in the duck system that helps to pull more air through that
duck, especially if it's at the end of the run. So a couple
of different options for you to consider, all right, So that's there.
