The next Stefan Good Day download with
Doug and Jay Kirshner is made possible in

2
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:08,000
part by Keldron, which is the
safe way for you to lose weight and

3
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:14,320
keep it off. Monday brings us
into the focus of your car and Nicholas

4
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:18,839
J. Miles, who is our
auto? What's the J stand for it?

5
00:00:18,879 --> 00:00:21,839
By the way, John? But
but I only usually get that name

6
00:00:21,879 --> 00:00:29,879
when I'm in trouble. Okay,
not anything. It's a well, it

7
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:34,280
doesn't have anything to do with nick
and especially especialty in the automotive world.

8
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:38,119
So you're headed to New York this
week for the New York Auto Show,

9
00:00:38,799 --> 00:00:42,000
and I would like to have what
you think are going to be the highlights?

10
00:00:42,439 --> 00:00:47,079
What does what really does happen?
We hear these things the Cleveland Autos

11
00:00:47,079 --> 00:00:51,439
Show, the Chicago Autos Show,
this the latter show. What happens at

12
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:55,039
these shows? What's the real?
Is the promotion selling cars? What goes

13
00:00:55,079 --> 00:00:59,000
on? Yeah? There was the
four big shows in the United States,

14
00:00:59,399 --> 00:01:02,280
Chicago, Detroit, New York,
and LA. Those are the four sort

15
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:07,200
of major shows, each sort of
ones in January. Then there's the spring,

16
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:11,439
the end of the summer, and
then the fall and so these shows

17
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:15,560
really are consumer shows. All auto
shows were started in the northeast of the

18
00:01:15,719 --> 00:01:21,640
US in the winter when people just
didn't want to go car shopping from dealership

19
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:26,120
February Washington to day right. The
car business by the way, in January

20
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:29,920
this year, I was told by
my friends are in the car business was

21
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,439
awful, and it's picked up substantially
this month. You have. Have you

22
00:01:33,519 --> 00:01:37,560
found that to be the case?
Yeah, no, absolutely, and auto

23
00:01:37,599 --> 00:01:41,680
shows do help that. It's just
really a place where consumers are able to

24
00:01:41,719 --> 00:01:46,840
go and check every brand. There's
traditionally no sales people are these auto shows,

25
00:01:47,239 --> 00:01:49,599
even though they're put on by dealer. Yeah, and then they're put

26
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,959
on by dealer associations, but they're
not allowed to sell cars. They're only

27
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,040
allowed to get your information and then
you have to come to the dealership later.

28
00:01:56,319 --> 00:02:00,200
So it's the only place in the
world where you get to go you

29
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:04,400
get to try five or six different
cars next to each other. You know,

30
00:02:04,439 --> 00:02:07,400
do I fit in the bag the
third road? Does my luggage fit

31
00:02:07,439 --> 00:02:09,800
in? Is there enough room for
the dog? Is there enough room for

32
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:13,240
the kids? Hoggy stuff? What
if we have to take Grandma? You

33
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,840
know those type of things. How
do you get in and out of everything?

34
00:02:15,879 --> 00:02:17,599
How does this work? How does
that work? So it's a really

35
00:02:17,599 --> 00:02:22,560
great place to measure things and for
people to actually get to touch the feel

36
00:02:22,719 --> 00:02:27,800
the ergonomics of a vehicle. Now
it's turned into more of a fanfare event,

37
00:02:28,599 --> 00:02:32,719
so big automakers are releasing cars and
having press days and press releases,

38
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:38,360
although that's waned since the pandemic.
That so, for instance, this week

39
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:42,280
there's a new g Wagon coming out, but Mercedes aren't at the New York

40
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:46,560
Audo Show. They did it separately. They had everybody's right, Yeah,

41
00:02:46,759 --> 00:02:50,479
that's the German box. Yeah,
the German box. That cost you around

42
00:02:50,479 --> 00:02:54,719
two hundred thousand dollars. That that
is. That's what used to happen.

43
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:58,639
It used to happen out of the
shows. But now car companies are doing

44
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,319
in around. Genesis is doing an
event off site, They're doing something in

45
00:03:01,319 --> 00:03:06,280
New York, but not at the
show. So the shows are still sort

46
00:03:06,319 --> 00:03:10,159
of used somewhat, but car companies
don't want to pay the money. You

47
00:03:10,199 --> 00:03:14,000
know. I got a quote from
a friend of mine at a car company.

48
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,400
It cost them one hundred and forty
eight dollars to put out every chair

49
00:03:17,479 --> 00:03:23,439
for the media. On press days
versus buying the chairs and doing it themselves.

50
00:03:23,479 --> 00:03:27,120
So that was just the rental fee. That was just the people.

51
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,680
They had to pay one hundred and
forty eight dollars per seat, and you

52
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,840
have two hundred journalists there, the
prices start to climb. Wow, you

53
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:38,520
bunger. So in terms of I
don't think people know, I don't think

54
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:43,879
I've ever asked you, and I
determined over the weekend I was looking at

55
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:50,360
something and your CV came up.
How much you do on television the kinds

56
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,879
of things that you're doing, because
a lot of people watch you on TV,

57
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:58,360
and I've never talked to you about
that and never promoted it properly.

58
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:00,719
So what is it that you do? How do you fill the void in

59
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:08,240
DV So? I do a show
on Fox Sports, which is usually based

60
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:11,319
around the Auto Show, so we
look at what's new. It's an hour

61
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,919
long show. There's you know,
I'm not the only host of the show.

62
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:18,920
Then I do weekly reports for most
I think I cover sixty eight percent

63
00:04:18,959 --> 00:04:23,639
of the country. So for instance, in New York, it's WPIX,

64
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:27,759
In La it's Katie La. You
know, every city I'm on their big

65
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,560
station usually in that city, and
I'm really showing people what's going on,

66
00:04:30,639 --> 00:04:34,399
but talking about things. Why aren't
people buying electric cars? What's wrong with

67
00:04:34,439 --> 00:04:38,800
them? How the charging infrastructure is
broken? What are the government doing to

68
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:42,040
give people money back? Is a
good idea is a bad idea? What

69
00:04:42,079 --> 00:04:45,959
are the least expensive cars, the
most expensive cars, opulent in the twenty

70
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:51,199
eight million dollar rolls, voices,
those type of things. Yeah, just

71
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:57,240
to give people a complete sort of
surround of what's going on in the automotive

72
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,199
industry and what buyers are thinking,
what law are changing, those type of

73
00:05:00,199 --> 00:05:03,839
things, because it's too much information
for most people to gather. And my

74
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:08,279
idea is just give it to you
all and let you digest it, very

75
00:05:08,319 --> 00:05:11,879
much like the Good Day program with
Dougs. Thank you Jay. What's the

76
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:16,319
question we have up on our social
media whether or not gas powered vehicles should

77
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:23,519
become obsolete? The continue them or
not? The next Stefan Good Day download
