The next Stefan Good Day Download with Doug and Jay Kirshner is made possible in
part by Caltron, which is the safe way for you to lose weight and
keep it off, and also by prevagent keeping your brain healthy. The old
and the young, So that's me and Jennifer. I guess you can figure
out who the old is and who the young is. It's the Good Day
Program? How do you do? I ask? Sometimes? Really, congratulations,
Jay's off today, so Jenjen is here to help us celebrate the day.
It is the Wednesday, November ninth program. One more day in November,
Jennifer. Jennifer loves it when I am on top of the calendar.
It is so how many days to a Christmas? Actually, we should probably
figure that one out. The twenty fifth twenty okay, leave it to you
to know that there are twenty seven. So how is the shopping going?
Is? Because you're probably the number one shopper. Let me just tell you.
The mall came to me on Friday and I just pretty much online shopped
my heart out. I am now needing credit counseling, but you know what,
most of my shopping is done. I understand the credit counseling thin,
that's for sure, But because you are an empowered feminine person, you tend
to know more about a lot. I was thinking about that, what does
it mean to be an empowered female? There's a lot of talk about being
empowered these days and more too. I think, doesn't it seem to apply
more to women than to men? Wisdom and courage and strength. It seems
to be the era of that being attributed to women more than mental questioned about
I don't know, maybe a week ago. Now it all blends together,
but I was actually questioning the future of feminism or if it even exists anymore,
because you probably saw it, maybe we talked about it. But the
thing that like got me and recently is watching all these young girls quote Osama
bin Lan's letter to America. Have you saw that trend on TikTok where these
women were reading the letter that Osama bin Lan wrote to the United States about
why he attacked on nine to eleven, And it was a huge thing on
TikTok where all these girls were like, oh, we understand America is bad,
Israel is bad, and part of why he said, he well,
but that was part of why Osama Bedlan attacked America is that he didn't like
Western culture, he didn't like America, he didn't like the partnership with Israel.
He hates Israel. And then he also quoted Sharia La in the letter.
And you've got these dumb women on TikTok not realizing what they're doing because
they're quoting Sharia lah, which is not supportive of feminism. They don't even
want you to show your face, and they're talking about you know, sam
bin Lan said that women need to be home and supporting men and just hosting
people and not doing anything and covering their face. And I thought to myself,
where are the feminists right now? Where is Gloria Steinem and Jane Fonda?
When you see women on TI voting yeah, quoting sharia law and not
standing up and saying, under Sharia law, you certainly wouldn't have a TikTok
account, and you wouldn't be showing us your face, and you wouldn't be
allowed to say words because you belong to your husband. I don't know.
I just I wonder because it used to be that we were like empowering women
and now we're a huge amount of people are quoting Sharia law. Like what
weirdness? Yeah, it is weird, bizarre. The best book of the
year if you're doing your Jennifers just talking about doing her her Christmas shopping and
she needs credit counseling, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. There
is a for those of you who look to consort with those who are smart.
You'll be interested to know what the best book of the year is according
to a number a twelve different but who even knew there bookstores that still existed.
But there are twelve bookstores and the managers around the country of these stores
were asked to consider what the book of the year was. And the winner
is a book called The Heaven and Earth Grocery Store by James McBride. The
Heaven and Earth Grocery Store a passionate story. Well, if I tell you
what the story is about, then that kind of takes away from from the
intrigue, right, So check it out. Listen. I think, remember
I gave you that kindle. How many years ago? Was that the milk?
Actually the Barnes and Noble. I was thinking, it's so funny because
I was actually thinking about that this week, because I still get there's still
a Barnes and Noble in my neighborhood, but you know, so many of
them have closed down, and oh yeah, and I got an ad from
them every so often, and I always love to look at their Christmas ads
because that's when they bring out like the biggest books of the year, like
you're talking about, and you know, just kind of to see what was
going on. And I was like, gosh, I wonder if the Nook
is still going because I still have it and my George just haven't downloaded to
it in such a long time. And sure enough, they still have the
Nook in business. But I loved it. I mean, gosh, I
used the heck out of it for a good five or six years. Yeah,
yeah, thank you, Handy's surprise because Amazon sort of took over the
other weird thing I was thinking about this year, Doug is. And actually,
when I was here for you on Monday with Jay and I were laughing,
she goes, oh, cyber Monday. Can you believe it's only been
around since two thousand and five? And I went, well, that's because
really, internet shopping has only been around since two thousand and five, so
I guess that's where cyber Monday comes from and she goes, wow, really,
and I said, yeah, well, think about when did Amazon start?
So we actually looked it up and Amazon started in nineteen ninety four or
five. I want to say, but do you remember Amazon was only books
at that time. It wasn't everything under the sun, and that was its
competition to the books. It was losing so much money. People said,
why the heck are you investing in that? Do you know who the number
one investor in Amazon was the number one private investor for all I had fund.
Everybody was talking about it, and I don't know who's doing anything about
it. But I remember when Rush Limbaugh and I became friends early on in
our careers. He put money and it ended up that he was the biggest
investor early on. Yeah, in Amazon. So another one of the top
ten books this year, Chain Gang All Stars. Now that's got him right.
There's another one called Master Slave, Husband, Wife bottoms Up and the
Devil laughs. There's a book called The Beasting by Paul Murray that is And
is this based on reviews or on sales? How does it go? This
is based on sales pretty much. Yeah, it looks to me like the
Chain Gang thing is a pretty absurd book. I like to have simple things
once in a while. I don't read a lot of books because I'm always
reading for things to talk about on the program, so I don't get overwhelmed
with the You know, some of the things that are around long form oftentimes
get made into movies anyway, and so I'd rather sort of see it that
way. Well, Roslind Carter was laid to rest her. I guess she
was memorialized. I say today she gets laid to rest. I think,
did you watch any did you see her daughter Amy speak about her? I
was actually recording. I was in the studio, so I had it on,
but I didn't have the audio on, which I was sad about.
But I did hear the letter. I read the letter. Actually, the
letters read so sweet between Jimmy Carter and can I. This is so silly.
But I've always called her Rosalind Carter as well. That's what my mom
calls her. I had this conversation with my mom yesterday. But I've heard
a lot of people in the media are calling her Rosalind now, which I
guess maybe, Okay, let's talk about something important. No, But I
mean, well, I mean that a kind of his. I just didn't
know because I've always said Rosslyn Carter too, and I just heard you say
that, so right, that's what I've never heard her called rosen. One
of the things that I thought was most distressing or distracting was seeing Jimmy Carter
just kind of laid out like he was on a I know. I just
thought, I mean, yeah, he needed to be there for his wife,
but he just that just that when you see people like that because you
look, probably won't be long, especially because I think he really was waiting
for her. They had a really great love story. And you see this
so often, you know, when people stayed together and they stay alive and
there for each other, and they go quickly a lot of times in pairs.
And I'm not wishing that on Jimmy Carker. I hope that he beyond,
but yeah, yeah, I mean I think that would be something that
that makes a whole lot of sense. Actually under the circumstance you see the
condition he's in, what's the reason for him being alive. This portion of
the program is a highlight of what's going on in the world of celebrities,
of the gossip, the things that are trending on social media. And one
of the things that we were just talking about books, So there's an outrageous
new book that claims that contestants early on to family feud, that is,
when Richard Dawson was hosting it, had to take herpes tests before because they
were kissing each other apparently. Yeah, yeah, it's just interesting. He
had he kissed everybody, right, and he did it on the mouth,
So yeah, exactly. Yeah, he was a super spreader. He was
the first. Yeah. I hadn't thought about it that way, but yeah,
probably could be. You could make that argument, all right. Next
up here is a focus on Shannon Doherty, who, apparently gen Jen has
a new podcast that will explore her health history, among other things, and
her love history and that sort of thing. I just saw this new feature.
I know that she's had a really rough time health wise in her life.
At some early points she was a big smoker and apparently whether that's what
caught up to her or whatever it is. But she's got a new book
called Let's Speak Clear About Everything, and so not well the book, I
guess she's writing a book, but it's a podcast basically the same thing.
Lots of stuff, the inside stuff of her career and her breast cancer and
so what do you remember? She was on Little House on the Prairie,
which I forgot about. Yeah, she talks about what it was like to
work with Michael Lamb on the Little House. I like to work with like
that grimly. I don't know. I was not a big I mean I
remember obviously from nine O two two. Yeah, and she was obviously a
very strident character on nine O two one O, which I think the reputation
followed her and other other projects she worked on. I think she kind of
had their reputation, well, just the reputation of being kind of em but
I don't know if that was fair. I don't know, because we weren't
there. We don't know if that reputation is fair enough. But she got
really sick and she had I think multiple kinds of cancer and she was not
able to work. And she's been one of the loudest voices about sag Aftra
not offering her health insurance because she didn't work enough. But she couldn't work
enough because she was really sick with cancer and going through chemo and almost died.
I mean really seriously, so I'm glad she's found something that she can
do that will maybe hopefully earn her some money so she can take care of
her self, because she's had a pretty miraculous turnaround, had a tough had
a tough time of it, no question. All right, So that's a
good summary. Thank you. The new podcast, by the way, it
starts next week. I am Robert Strickler. My wife Joyce and I have
been married for fifty three years. Certainly one of the really important things in

delightful day. It's a hopeful day, it's joy fire, all kinds of
words that I could use to describe the day. Think about what you can
do, what the potential is, what the possibility is with today, and
what you could do. Who who knows. Maybe you can be elected to
Congress and support the United States. I shouldn't chuck because being a member of
if I were a member of CARS, I thought about running once. When
I was doing the radio program in Florida, there was a fellow who had
retired or I've forgotten what the story was, the go I don't remember his
name, but people came to me and say, hey, you should run
for Congress. And I actually almost I almost did. I was thinking i'd
do at the time, was before I started doing this program in nineteen eighty
eight, and so I was doing mornings on WPGPBR and apparently some people like
me and this, yeah, you should run for Congress, and I thought
to myself, can I do the radio program from from Congress? Why couldn't
I? Why couldn't you do a radio program? You couldn't do it while
you were running? Right? You got in? Yeah. You know who
I think would be a good host, honestly, is Marjorie Taylor Green.
I think she on the radio now. You interviewed her. I actually,
after you told me that you'd interviewed her, I got the info. I
don't know what Jay did. I told you this. We don't do the
same kind of a morning program here that you do when you're on later on
on Carola. But she's a character and she's interesting, and you said you
like talking to her on the air is a good due. Yeah, I
feel like, you know, there's a lot of people who you wonder if
they're really you get the most attention if they're real or not, or if
they're looking for microphones. I actually got the sense that she was really real,
that she really didn't have to leave her life behind, but that she
wanted to, and that she really believes what she's saying. And you know,
it's I likened it to Bernie Sanders. I don't like ninety nine point
nine percent of what Bernie Sanders says. But I don't dislike Bernie Sanders because
I actually believe he's legit, even though I think he can be a whack
a doodle sometimes. And he honeymooned in Russia. I think he's actually legit,
you know, honeymoon in Russia? Yes, e yes, God right?
So anyway, but the conversation, she has a book, right,
doesn't Marjorie before she does a Brandon book? Yep? And what is the
thrust of it is politics? Is it her life? Well, it's kind
of about leaving her life to go to Congress. Basically why she made those
decisions. What she's been her husband and her children behind in the dust.
Oh stop it. I don't know if it goes into that. I didn't
ask her about that. Now. I might ask her about that if she
comes on. But she did. She got divorced. There are some rumors
about her and some of her twists and that sort of thing. What I
was curious about though, is her I've seen some pictures of her, I
think with about an eighteen year old son. Is that right? She got
to I don't really know how. Yeah, I don't know much about her
private life. I didn't even you're the one that told me she was divorced.
I think it's interesting because she doesn't make it much of the spotlight.
I think when she's doing it, no, but I'm sure there are a
lot of people that want to go after her for whatever reason. So apparently
a sidebar here is that she doesn't get as much time and temperature as she
used to because she was a pal of McCarthy's and the new speaker is not
a fan, So she's not faring as well, at least if you believe
some of the accounts of what's going on and who's gaining favor with mister Johnson
and who is not gaining favor with mister Johnson. What do you make him
at this point. You're pretty good at observing that stuff. I don't want
to answer my own question. I am interested in talking about him for a
minute, but I'm more interested in hearing you because you're kind of tuned into
that. I've told you I really like the guy. I think that I
don't when he first Yeah, I think he's solid. I don't think he's
flashy like some of the others. They like to use the cameras as negotiating
points. I don't get that from him. And the proof of that it's
not just me saying, oh I love the guy, is that. I
mean, look, the government was supposed to shut down again Kevin McCarthy when
he was Speaker of the House. It was always a very public battle,
right It was the Democrats are going to do this, or Republicans are going
to do this. The conservative branch of the Republican Party is going to do
this. I mean with Mike Johnson, not everybody loved it, but everybody
came together and voted on it to keep the government going. And so that
to me tells me that whatever style he's working is good. I love the
fact that he wants single bills instead of jumping out thing together. I can't
stand that because we get so many things that we don't want. That's how
politicians get corrupt is by promising things and then you know, putting it into
these multi tiered omnibills. So I like what I've seen so far. Now
we'll see what happens at the end of the year, and you know what
the the next battle will be about funding Israel Ukraine. They're looking at border
security because there's a big train with all those people on top of it coming
into the country. I don't know if you've seen that image, but all
the people on top of a freight train coming into the country, coming into
Eagle Past, Texas from Mexico, sitting on freight train. We train,
Well, it's a freight train, okays. But the thing is doesn't make
sense. You had someone whether it was Biden or Mayorcis or whoever, come
out and say, Mexico, you need to stop that train. That's not
safe number one. I mean, forget, It's just would you imagine,
like what we do in this country, if people were riding on top of
a freight train, the thing would be stopped. It be a James Bond
movie. That's fair. Train riders, no way, unbelievable. Yeah,
the there's a rumor floating around because George Bush did not show up. I
said before the funeral it would be interesting. It was going to be fun
because all of the former presidents and their wives were supposed to show up at
the funeral of Roslynd Carter. And yeah, I was reading the list on
from CNN and neither George or Laura were on the list, and I thought
that was really weird because they're the ones that, like Bill Clinton, always
shows up at these things, right, yeah, right, But Laura was
there, so that was maybe a surprise at the end, But George wasn't
yep, and Michelle Obama was there. The scuttle butt was whether it's true
or not. It's certainly another one of these social media rumors that Barack Obama
didn't want to be seen with Joe Biden because Biden and he have a riff
going on on a number of levels where they don't agree. I can't imagine
that that's that. I think that Obama stayed back in Washington, d C.
To continue running the country while Joe Biden took the plane to then.
I mean, I don't think that there's a riff. In fact, all
of them flew on the same plane. So Bill and Hillary, Michelle Obama,
Jill and Joe Biden all flew on Air Force one down to Atlanta for
the services yesterday. And so now the scuttle but I see in conservative spheres
of social media is that they think something's up, that that this is going
to be you know, more evidence that gas Schelle Obama for president, Yay,
Gavin Newsom or maybe Michelle somebody, somebody else but Biden. But we'll
see, yeah, all right. In Michigan, police arrested a twelve year
old boy after he drove away in a forklift. Oh, twelve year old
boy and she decided he would steal a forklift and took the police on.
This kid's a student at a middle school and he just decided, Hey,
this looks like fun. So he jumped on the forklift and drove it out
onto the street and drove through the city and the police gave chase and the
kid headed up to twenty four miles an hour. If you have got on
a forklift at twenty four miles an hour, good god. Oh he was
a twelve year old boy from Anne Arbor. He was taken into cuss So
what do you do with somebody like that. Well, they give him a
good scare, I know, But he needs to get a good scare,
because you can't have twelve year olds who know better jumping on a forklift and
taking what they want to take. Well, no, I think you need
to scare all children these days. Okay, Jennifer's parenting techniques here, Just
give them scare like the rest of us. We're in the shopping spree.
Time of things is apparently we're in the middle of a shoplifting wave. A
Target has some other retail stores as well. There is this season the most
widespread theft that they've ever experienced. Now, I don't know whether the news
is amplifying the story and social media is amplifying the story, but there's been
a lot of things posted on videos of thieves looting all of these stores.
Shoplifting galore. Now New York City and Los Angeles are cited, But isn't
it true in both of these cities is not really heavy punishment for he can
go in and steal and you'll be out the same day. There's nine hundred
dollars an under is just a misdemeanor, it's not even a felony, and
there's no punishment. And it's smash and grab now, So people in the
middle of the day will go into a Nordstrum or Amaze's or any store,
smash everything, take everything in a mob like twenty people deep, and take
off. It's scary. There's a I'm looking at a shoplifting report published by
a Council on Criminal Justice, and it says that shoplifting from twenty twenty two
to twenty twenty three is up twenty about twenty one percent. Looks like here,
yeah, and I think that's yeah. So it's great business time for
Caldron. I would think the phones would be ringing off the hook and people
would be ordering nauseum. That's right. You know. It'd be twenty five

Consultants at top loss dot com. At this time, we kind of
dig around into the trending stories and what's going on in technology if we have
something, and I thought this was an interest in consequence Jennifer, the focus
on ransomware attacks. Apparently there's a healthcare chain that operates thirty hospitals in six
different states, and someone is hacked into the emergency room centers in these hospitals
and they've had to divert patients from one of the hospital well, from hospitals
that they own, to hospitals that they don't own. Ardent Health Service says
the attack took the network offline, suspended user access to their it, and
they aren't really able to figure out whether it was a financial thing or they
don't know. They brought in law enforcement. This is a whole new area
of law enforcement, and I wonder how I should have asked that of the
gentleman we had from Evansville, Indiana, or was a police officer there,
whether they're getting into whether stations and police forces that size are getting into cyber
crime, and whether they are able to look and this is a serious thing.
But as I said, it wasn't just one hospital, it was thirty
that belonged to this particular chain. So what kind of havoc can that?
I mean, imagine, let's say it's a holiday, Right's Christmas, and
somebody you know, they're on a skeleton staff anyway, and someone decides to
be a wise guy and they attack the website or they attack the inner core
of how they operate this health system, and who knows what they could do,
and they could stop all the technology that operates off computers. Right,
somebody's on life support systems and some guy you know hacks in and decides,
Okay, we're gonna shut everything down. That's really pretty bizarre, frankly,
Right, And you've got somebody who's close to either works for Kaiser and what
kind of things are they encountering in terms of cybersecurity issue? I think that's
what he does, isn't that Doesn't he deal with the computers stuff? I
thought he didn't know more about customer care and you know, the people basically
making sure that no one goes, you know, takes it to the next
step to if they're unhappy, so kind of a customer care thing. But
I think there's I haven't heard of any breaches, but certainly medical stuff.
I think is one of the biggest reason I was listening yesterday to one of
those and so silly, but you know, we all listen to them because
we're all radio fans here. If you're listening to this program on radio,
you know, and they have the little one minute features where they give you
updates about things that are coming. And one of the things that I thought
was so funny to listen to, just on a personal level, is that
there's a new and I think it's something with the iPhone, something new that
you can do with your phone where you can transfer the stuff that you're seeing
on your device to someone else's device who's near you. And so I was
thinking to myself, I'm like, well, that's convenient. I guess if
you want to share pictures, people use air drop all the time, but
this would share everything, your personal details, your information. Like it's this
new feature, and so I thought, give some crook five seconds to try
to figure out how to crack that feature. And it says and the guy
was even saying, oh, it's extra safe and the user has to approve
the transfer of like I thought, I don't know, I mean that's how
the new that's how the new iPhone is set up. I had to get
a new phone, yeah, probably what three weeks ago, four weeks ago
because I wasn't getting I wasn't able to open text messages on my phone,
which is a problem because everybody texts. So when I got the new phone,
all you have to do to download the stuff from your old phone is
have it sitting next to you on the device. Yeah, so it transfers
because it's the proximity, and it's like that's got to be able to be
used for evil instead of just good hm, Doctor Evil. There you go.
It is Merry Christmas from Doctor Evil. The next Stefan Good Day download
