1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,400 The next Stefan Good Day download with Doug and Jay Kirshner is made possible in 2 00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:08,039 part by Keltren, which is the safe way for you to lose weight and 3 00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:12,320 keep it off, and also by Previlegent keeping your brain healthy. No, 4 00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:18,640 we're not going to start playing Christmas music, but it brings around because it's 5 00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:23,559 too early. It's only the thirteenth of November. Let's get through Thanksgiving at 6 00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:30,039 least. Please thank you, After all we diminish by doing this last year, 7 00:00:30,079 --> 00:00:33,159 I think I made a big deal, and I haven't years past, 8 00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:40,119 as the radio stations changed to their Christmas music, and that's happened all across 9 00:00:40,119 --> 00:00:44,840 the country. Pretty much every market now has a station that's playing Christmas music. 10 00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:50,200 And there are two sides to this coin, as there are the most 11 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:55,240 any argument or discussion, should you, shouldn't you? Do? We don't 12 00:00:55,280 --> 00:01:00,439 we? You know that kind of stuff. And so some of the the 13 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:06,000 conversation comes out of me watching the movie The Holdovers with Paul Giamatti last night 14 00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:11,120 and the Christmas part of the discussion, and then I started thinking about when 15 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:15,879 the trees are the trees around yet where I am, it's pretty seasonal. 16 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,879 Although the temperature have been in the forties the last four or five six days, 17 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,920 going up to the fifties and sixties later on this week here in my 18 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:30,599 part of New England. It just seems to me that we push it too 19 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:34,640 far again. It's good and it's not so good. One of the reasons, 20 00:01:34,719 --> 00:01:38,319 so maybe it's a double sided thing. One of the reasons that I 21 00:01:38,439 --> 00:01:42,319 like it is because the Christmas music, as with most of us, puts 22 00:01:42,359 --> 00:01:46,159 me in a good mood, puts in puts me in a good place, 23 00:01:46,799 --> 00:01:49,040 and we need that. When you look around and see what's happening in our 24 00:01:49,079 --> 00:01:56,439 country, see what's happening around the world, does this displace the real focus 25 00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,680 on what the real issues are. Well, you can know and understand the 26 00:01:59,719 --> 00:02:02,000 issue, which is part of the problem. A lot of people don't understand 27 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:07,319 the issues and thus the protests on college campuses where we're supposed to be focused 28 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:12,479 on education, instead we're focused on ignorance, it would seem but I I 29 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,520 mean, meanwhile, back to the but there is kind of a genocide happening 30 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:19,080 with Palestinian people. Just because people are protesting and bringing awareness to that, 31 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:23,159 that doesn't mean that they are in support of Hamas Amas is true evil on 32 00:02:23,199 --> 00:02:27,240 this planet. Yeah, but I think that's been confused by a lot of 33 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,960 ignorance. Frankly, it's been confused. I think the genocide happened though. 34 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:37,520 You know, it's weird. The Israelis always feel like they have to go 35 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:42,280 too far or farther because there have been people that have been trying to push 36 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:46,719 them into the sea for their entire existence. So do they overdo it? 37 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:52,199 Do they overreact? The argument can be made that they have and they are. 38 00:02:52,879 --> 00:02:54,840 That still doesn't mean is none of this is good, none of us 39 00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:59,960 is right. And behind the scenes, you see we're not getting the real 40 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:04,439 focus. The Iranians are the ones that are stirring the pot now, not 41 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:08,360 just Hamas. It's Hamas being sponsored by Hamas and his love. Both's being 42 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:14,360 sponsored by or pushed by, or funded by, or supported by whatever you 43 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:20,759 want to use for terminology, by this meathead, the Ayatola and his band 44 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:24,919 of unmarried men who have come across the money. The argument still is that 45 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:30,719 the six billion dollars that went back from America, although America says it didn't 46 00:03:30,719 --> 00:03:34,000 really go back yet. You know, there's all that stuff, it's just 47 00:03:34,479 --> 00:03:42,439 a nest of controversy, arguments and bad everything, bad karma, and you 48 00:03:42,479 --> 00:03:46,439 look at these, I kind of lost the I've gone away from the discussion 49 00:03:46,479 --> 00:03:51,680 of winds too early discussions to have Christmas. But as long as we're there. 50 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:58,319 I'm looking at the report from Gaza Hospitals suspending operation. The Israelis are 51 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,800 actually on the hunt for members of Hamas. What I want to know is 52 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:05,280 how do they recognize them from the average person. They don't wear a uniform, 53 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:14,719 but there are hospitals that are closed because the bombardment continues. Genocide. 54 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:19,040 Is it bad judgment? Is it going too far? That's an argument that 55 00:04:19,079 --> 00:04:24,319 we can have a discussion that we can have because there are people who are 56 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:30,160 just innocent on both sides. Most everybody on both sides are innocent. We 57 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:35,959 have governments, heads of government who are trying to maintain power or trying to 58 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:43,319 shift power. The axis of evil that George Bush talked about in reality is 59 00:04:43,399 --> 00:04:48,079 there now the Iranians, the Chinese, and the Russians and why it is. 60 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:51,639 I went into a store yesterday. I had to drive up to Vermont 61 00:04:53,079 --> 00:04:56,920 to pick up some colows for the farm, and I went into a store 62 00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:00,680 in my hands, I can't find gloves. I've never found good, comfortable 63 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:09,639 gloves that keeps my hands warm. So I'm looking at this display of gloves 64 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,439 and I look at them and I try them on and they feel good. 65 00:05:12,519 --> 00:05:15,480 And then I look at the label. The damn things are made in China, 66 00:05:15,519 --> 00:05:18,959 and I will not buy stuff made in China. I told you about 67 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:25,040 the books that I bought for the kids when I went out there and mostly 68 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:29,279 focus on Halloween and stuff, and those things are all made in China. 69 00:05:29,319 --> 00:05:33,759 It's just ridiculous how we have allowed ourselves to fall into this trap. And 70 00:05:33,879 --> 00:05:40,439 many people say it's just plain greed. Whatever it is. Now we have 71 00:05:40,519 --> 00:05:45,879 to untangle ourselves from it. And it's not an easy thing to do. 72 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:49,480 You know, you look around at what you know, what we're trying to 73 00:05:49,519 --> 00:05:55,079 do or what are we in fact doing it? Because the economy, the 74 00:05:55,160 --> 00:06:01,519 connection to our economy and to their economy is so stark. When you think 75 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:06,680 about forty percent of the world's goods and services are made either here or there. 76 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:14,639 Forty percent of everything that is consumed by everybody on the planet is either 77 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:18,639 made here in America or in China. Goods, services, things that are 78 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:27,680 provided. So we have this economic battle now brought upon us by the realization 79 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:35,040 that we've screwed ourselves. Basically, we've allowed these people to have a stranglehold 80 00:06:35,079 --> 00:06:41,560 on us economically. What is Biden and Zi bing Ling there, whatever his 81 00:06:41,639 --> 00:06:45,720 name is it going to have a high level summit this week? Is that 82 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:50,040 right? In that there's a big meeting. I think it's in San Francisco 83 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:57,360 where all of the Asian country people from around the world are trying to figure 84 00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:03,720 out where the economy is going. So the thing is, and the same 85 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:09,720 is true for almost anything. Think about life. Isn't it better when you 86 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:13,000 get along with your spouse. Isn't it better when you get along with your 87 00:07:13,079 --> 00:07:15,560 children? Isn't it better when you get along with your boss? Isn't it 88 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:19,680 better when you have friends? You don't have to agree on everything, But 89 00:07:19,879 --> 00:07:25,120 the way the world is today, especially when it comes to politics, if 90 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:29,759 you don't agree, then you were discounted, you are dismissed, You're pushed 91 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,959 out on either side. And that's kind of what's happened between the US and 92 00:07:33,079 --> 00:07:41,040 China because the China government, Chinese have decided they want to take over the 93 00:07:41,079 --> 00:07:46,360 world, at least the present group, and so there's no room for cooperation 94 00:07:46,839 --> 00:07:53,079 anymore, and we've experienced that ourselves kind of. Anyway, this is Wednesday. 95 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:57,759 I think that these two guys are meeting now. Is Joe Biden going 96 00:07:57,759 --> 00:08:03,160 to be out paced, out classed, outdone by she who is in his 97 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:09,480 sixties and Joe's eighties And is that the thing? Is it age again or 98 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:15,839 is it just the fact that Biden can't really he doesn't garner he confidence anymore 99 00:08:15,879 --> 00:08:20,519 because he doesn't feel like he even has confidence in himself. When you look 100 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:24,639 at it's like he doesn't want to talk, isn't it doesn't it seem like 101 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:30,920 that to you? Yeah, So anyway, there's lots of different things that 102 00:08:30,959 --> 00:08:33,159 are going on that are brewing. See, this is what I mean of 103 00:08:33,159 --> 00:08:39,879 a manic Monday. Go from Christmas right into the bucket, right the guy's 104 00:08:39,919 --> 00:08:45,399 the hospitals and the Middle East, and the Iranians and the Chinese and the 105 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:52,759 Russians and the Russians and what they're doing. The whole business of whether they're 106 00:08:52,799 --> 00:08:56,360 at a standstill because well, the Russians have over the weekend ramped up their 107 00:08:56,399 --> 00:09:01,639 attacks on some of the key cities in eastern Ukraine. I don't know where 108 00:09:01,639 --> 00:09:05,240 they're getting their soldiers from because it looks like the front lines have had lots 109 00:09:05,279 --> 00:09:13,399 of cannon fire. So the troops began to push into the eastern mining cities, 110 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,600 and that was where some of the bloodiest battles have taken place. Here 111 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:24,200 to four Ukrainian troops recaptured, the Russians got it, then the Ukrainians got 112 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,639 it back again, and now the russ is trying to get it again, 113 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:33,559 and around and around and around it goes. So the international this would be 114 00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:39,039 and I don't mean this to sound facetious. I'd love to be teaching international 115 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:46,240 politics at a university right now. I would. It's stimulating in a manner 116 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:50,039 speaking. And you go back to I make reference to that movie with Jimati 117 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:58,159 The Holdovers. His teaching was aimed at to sort of I don't call it 118 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:03,559 medieval history, but certainly the early history of what is now Europe. That's 119 00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:07,480 what that's part of the dialog, that was part of the focus. And 120 00:10:07,639 --> 00:10:13,360 so you think about what went on the Peloponnesian Wars. If anybody listening even 121 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:18,679 remembers or knows what those were about, then you know that was the area 122 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:22,120 of Greece, and that whole wasn't called Greece at the time. And I 123 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:26,639 don't mean to make this history lesson except I just find this fascinating. Fascinating 124 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:31,279 it is yeah to look at the history of our planet. It's a history 125 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:37,120 of one war after another, war after another war after another war. And 126 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:41,159 even when the dinosaurs roamed the planet, they were always at war with each 127 00:10:41,159 --> 00:10:46,120 other because they wanted to eat each other. Right, think about it. 128 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,200 I mean, I have eighty cows. They don't fight with each other. 129 00:10:50,279 --> 00:10:52,320 One of them gives a head butt to another one if they, you know, 130 00:10:52,399 --> 00:10:56,799 want to get in and get to the feed. But I don't see 131 00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:03,679 the cows fussing and fighting about things. They get it settled among themselves. 132 00:11:03,519 --> 00:11:09,120 Right, But think about what we could learn from cows. Maybe that's what 133 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:13,960 I guess. I'm looking at all of this stuff and I'm thinking the cows 134 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:16,759 is maybe that's why I love them so much, because it's all peaceful. 135 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:24,240 It's fun, they're friendly, they're loving, they get along. I have 136 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,159 big cows, I have little cows, I have old cows, I have 137 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:31,639 young cows, and they all get along. And because maybe I put more 138 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:37,879 of a focus on it, it's not like a regular dairy where a lot 139 00:11:37,879 --> 00:11:43,639 of people have hundreds of cows and they're just commodities. My cows mean something. 140 00:11:43,279 --> 00:11:48,840 I just picked up a cow named Becky yesterday who was on a farm 141 00:11:50,039 --> 00:11:56,159 up in Vermont, and she was the grind. She had ten lactations, 142 00:11:56,159 --> 00:12:01,600 She's had ten calves and she couldn't get rebrid So the fella knows that I 143 00:12:01,639 --> 00:12:03,879 have a sanctuary, and so he said, I'm going to give you this 144 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:07,159 cow, and every time I have a cow like this that runs out, 145 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:09,840 I'll give it to you. They serve as nurse. I have twenty calves 146 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:16,279 now and they all Rather than have to bottle feed them, I'd rather they 147 00:12:16,399 --> 00:12:20,159 be on a cow because they're much healthier that way. And so I got 148 00:12:20,159 --> 00:12:22,759 back just before dark last night. We put the cows sort of rearrange things, 149 00:12:22,799 --> 00:12:26,879 and watching these calves, I've got to have to get a video of 150 00:12:26,919 --> 00:12:35,200 it, Jay, watching them just just run around and basically play with each 151 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,120 other. That's what they do. They're getting they get to know each other, 152 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:41,480 and the mothers keep them in line. You know what, if they 153 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:46,559 start to do stuff, or they get a little bit frisky or fresh, 154 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:52,159 the mothers put them right in line and I know. Is that a good 155 00:12:52,159 --> 00:12:56,480 analogy for where we are now? I know, I bunced all over the 156 00:12:56,519 --> 00:12:58,279 place. One of the things that really troubled me over the weekend was seeing 157 00:12:58,279 --> 00:13:01,840 some video from some high schools around the country where there's so much fighting going 158 00:13:01,879 --> 00:13:05,639 on, Teachers getting beaten up by students, stuff like that. What the 159 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:09,879 hell's going on? So much anger in the world. Oh my god, 160 00:13:09,879 --> 00:13:16,559 That's why I love the cows. Time now for some celebrity gossip, the 161 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:22,879 social media things that we pay attention to that are trending, and so mss 162 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:28,600 Swift has done it again. Jay, She's set a new Grammy record for 163 00:13:28,639 --> 00:13:33,679 the most nominations for any person in the Song of the Year category. The 164 00:13:33,759 --> 00:13:39,480 new song anti Hiro was shortlisted for an award. By the way, there 165 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:43,480 are all these things that were announced after we get off the air on Friday. 166 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:48,320 You have some of the other nominations, some of the other things that 167 00:13:48,399 --> 00:13:52,840 are on the list. She's been dominating. I can get them. But 168 00:13:52,919 --> 00:13:58,720 yeah, she has twelve. I mean, she's done so much, but 169 00:13:58,799 --> 00:14:01,879 she already has I believed Grammys from her albums and her songs over the years. 170 00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:07,000 But for Song of the Year, that is a category that goes to 171 00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,679 the songwriters, not the performers, and that you know, she writes all 172 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:13,159 of her own music and so she's setting records for that. And then as 173 00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:20,440 far as most nominations with as an artist and for the albums, she is 174 00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:28,039 tied with Barbara Streisand. Ah, that's interesting because Barbara Streisand's book is out 175 00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:31,720 now. A lot of people are talking about that. I just think that 176 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:39,919 the whole idea, how is this something that really these people? Should Taylor 177 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:43,159 Swift get another award? I guess that's what's kind of in mind. She 178 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:46,440 deserves it, But should there be a way to pass somewhere around so that 179 00:14:46,519 --> 00:14:50,240 one person didn't get so many? Or does this highlight the fact that she's 180 00:14:50,559 --> 00:14:58,120 popular? I wonder what sull and extremely talented? Yeah, but there are 181 00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:01,799 a lot of you know what I say about how many people have gotten oscars 182 00:15:01,919 --> 00:15:07,360 or how many people have gotten Tony's or yeah, maybe not it's deserved. 183 00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:11,720 It just seems like all the attention is on her, and for good reason. 184 00:15:13,519 --> 00:15:16,440 Very successful, But should you have some more I don't know. I'm 185 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:20,799 just throwing it out there because I'm wondering. Let's think about it for a 186 00:15:20,799 --> 00:15:28,759 moment here a little discussion here about awards and who gets some? Is this 187 00:15:28,799 --> 00:15:31,639 woman the most? Is she the most? Certainly in the modern era of 188 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:39,159 music, the most are one recognized and awarded And in terms of the profit 189 00:15:39,279 --> 00:15:43,879 of her ability, how did she first realize and when was she thirteen fourteen? 190 00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:48,120 I'm trying to remember what there wasn't at a young age. There are 191 00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:54,039 photos of her in like this little makeshift stage and her name and a banner 192 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:58,159 on the front, when you know, she was doing some of those those 193 00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:03,799 small performances trying to make a name for herself before she's you know, has 194 00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:10,600 these sold out crowds that are actually crashing the ticketing system. And look in 195 00:16:10,639 --> 00:16:14,440 the movie and that still is like number two on the hit parade. And 196 00:16:14,559 --> 00:16:18,080 I went to the movies last night and there were a number of young people 197 00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:22,799 that were there to see the Taylor Swift movie. And that was that. 198 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:26,159 They're very thankful they had the Tailor Swift movie, I think at most of 199 00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:30,159 the theaters. So anyway, that's the story that Grammy's I'm Greg. I'm 200 00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:33,240 sixty eight years old. I grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, majored in 201 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:38,120 business administration. I do motivational speaking in addition to substitute teaching. Part of 202 00:16:38,159 --> 00:16:41,440 the reason for my motivational speaking is I kind of feel like I have a 203 00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:45,200 calling or giving back to the younger generation. You know, the Golden rules, 204 00:16:45,279 --> 00:16:48,960 do one the others you'd have them doing to you. My wife, 205 00:16:48,039 --> 00:16:52,960 Wanda, as a senior flight attendant, She's been flying for over thirty years. 206 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:56,960 We do laugh quite a bit. I think most adults will start realizing 207 00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:00,919 that they don't recall things as quickly as they used They don't remember things as 208 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:07,279 vividly as they once did. I've been taking Prevagen for about three years now. 209 00:17:07,559 --> 00:17:10,079 People say to me periodical, Man, you got a memory like an 210 00:17:10,079 --> 00:17:17,319 alphiant. It's really really helped me tremendously. Probagen healthier brain, the better 211 00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:21,640 life. Greg Freeley is a paid testimonialist and real Privilegen user. Based on 212 00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:25,599 a clinical study of subgroups of individuals who were cognitively normal or mildly impaired. 213 00:17:25,759 --> 00:17:27,640 This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any 214 00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:33,720 disease. The young twelve year old lady who has just won twenty five thousand 215 00:17:33,839 --> 00:17:41,759 dollars speaking of contests, she got the top Junior Science Award for creating or 216 00:17:41,799 --> 00:17:49,839 developing a fire detection System's twelve years old. She's from Miller Middle School in 217 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:56,720 San Jose. Was the science fair. She invented a new fire detection system 218 00:17:56,759 --> 00:18:04,240 that's faster, cheaper, and more reliable than having smoke detectors. So this 219 00:18:04,319 --> 00:18:10,240 is a challenge. This is one of the STEM contests going around middle schoolers 220 00:18:10,559 --> 00:18:12,799 in the country. For those of us who think those of you are those 221 00:18:12,839 --> 00:18:18,039 of us who think that the educational system in our country has gone to hell, 222 00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:21,920 Well, in some places it has, but here's an example of where 223 00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:26,599 it hasn't. There are a couple of they're all young ladies. Second third 224 00:18:26,599 --> 00:18:33,039 place innovations. Here's a young lady named Sanya Gill who won for a smartphone 225 00:18:33,039 --> 00:18:37,200 app that can detect certain cancers. Did we talk about her? Who do 226 00:18:37,279 --> 00:18:40,440 we talk about last week that won with these Jade Do you remember it was 227 00:18:40,519 --> 00:18:44,000 another one of these like their fourteen years Yeah, and there was a story 228 00:18:44,039 --> 00:18:48,400 about somebody with early detected skin cancer. Yeah that was it soap, It 229 00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:52,200 was kid soap, Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's it. Yes, 230 00:18:52,279 --> 00:18:56,079 that was fabulous. Another one of these. So look at what these these 231 00:18:56,559 --> 00:19:03,279 privately funded that's what happened. These schools get together with some private resources and 232 00:19:03,319 --> 00:19:08,160 they offer these twenty five thirty forty thousand dollars prizes for things, and they're 233 00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:11,599 either junior high school, eighth graders, ninth graders, that sort of a 234 00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:22,920 thing. The system. This is another system that detects and sends text messages 235 00:19:23,759 --> 00:19:26,119 or is this the same one the heat sources? Yeah? Yeah, I 236 00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:30,400 think no, this is for humans anyway. They're all kinds of these things 237 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:34,559 that are going on, and God bless them for having these contests and for 238 00:19:34,759 --> 00:19:40,680 the kids getting into them and understanding them. Notice most of the winners are 239 00:19:40,759 --> 00:19:45,359 young women. Very rarely do you see one of these contests where young men 240 00:19:45,839 --> 00:19:51,279 are the winners, Because I think that means that we focus still a lot 241 00:19:51,319 --> 00:19:55,279 more on trying to develop girls than boys. And maybe as much as that's 242 00:19:55,279 --> 00:19:59,519 benefited probably me Jay, well, it's still I mean, look at what 243 00:19:59,519 --> 00:20:07,920 it's done to poor James. It's like over corrected. So you're okay, 244 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:11,920 James. You have three people who love you and we'll take care of you 245 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:15,480 no matter what. Be okay. You'll be okay. And even if you're 246 00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:18,119 sound like your textan, it's all right, we're gonna work that out. 247 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:23,079 I have the power. I like, yeah, right, exactly, Okay, 248 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:30,640 So there are some things there's a the data is in. We were 249 00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:37,400 just talking about if on the the social media segment in this hour, whether 250 00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:41,960 you would be bought out. You could be bought out of your TikTok account, 251 00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:45,400 or your Instagram account or your Facebook account. So I just did a 252 00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:52,640 little quick examination of the of the impact still of TikTok. Even though there 253 00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:57,200 are states that are abandoned here, it still is the number one way, 254 00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:03,000 depending on your age, of people communicating their whatever it is they want to 255 00:21:03,039 --> 00:21:08,240 communicate. The global posting and views on tic tac, tic tac, good 256 00:21:08,279 --> 00:21:12,880 doug TikTok, especially when it comes to the Middle East, like standing with 257 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:21,480 Palestine or standing with Israel. This is back to the how we're doing with 258 00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:27,400 We're winning over minds and hearts and stuff with the information. And we had 259 00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:33,759 this conversation earlier, Jennifer Jay and I did about the you know, whether 260 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:38,440 the genocide, what's happening, and whether or not people get the right information. 261 00:21:40,599 --> 00:21:45,519 The number of people standing with Palestine on social media has risen eighty seven 262 00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:52,720 percent. If you are a viewer of TikTok, and they don't know what 263 00:21:52,799 --> 00:22:00,480 the other side is obviously, and so China once again, if this is 264 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:03,000 one of the things that Biden talks to this guy about this week, they're 265 00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:11,200 together on Wednesday, I think, but it won't be. It's probably how 266 00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:15,519 you doing. I mean, they just unfroze relations with China. You've got 267 00:22:15,839 --> 00:22:18,039 Newsome who saw him two weeks go saying we need to defrost things. And 268 00:22:18,079 --> 00:22:22,799 then this last week it was really quiet in the media. The Biden administration 269 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:26,119 reinstalled like the back door military phone with China, which I mean, I 270 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:30,759 guess you can say that's good if China's honest, But do we trust them 271 00:22:30,799 --> 00:22:33,200 to be honest? No with this guy, But who knows who's behind him? 272 00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:37,160 All Right, I want to bring something else up. I'm I'm not 273 00:22:37,279 --> 00:22:42,079 a fan, and I'm not somebody who dismisses Bill O'Reilly. Bill O'Reilly is 274 00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:47,519 Bill O'Reilly. He created an ambiance around himself and he's been working on it 275 00:22:47,559 --> 00:22:51,480 for years. He started here in Boston as a newsman on Channel seven, 276 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:55,200 and then he did Inside Edition I think was an inside He did one of 277 00:22:55,200 --> 00:23:00,039 those shows that was syndicated, and then somehow or other, he found his 278 00:23:00,079 --> 00:23:03,559 way to Fox and created quite a stir because that's the kind of a guy 279 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:07,440 he is. He's one of the most narcissistic people I've ever met in my 280 00:23:07,519 --> 00:23:11,759 life. He's very He's just an interesting character. I mean, it can 281 00:23:11,799 --> 00:23:15,559 be an interesting character still be a narcissist with him. It's all about him. 282 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:18,319 And one of the things that I liked about I used to love listening 283 00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:23,079 to his radio program, frankly because he was It was funny. Actually it 284 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:26,440 was very amusing. You know, he'd go on, this is the no 285 00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:30,799 Spin Zone. There wasn't one word that ever came out of his mouth was 286 00:23:30,839 --> 00:23:34,559 anything except spin. And he's continued in that vein. It's kind of like 287 00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:41,160 whether it was the Fox slogan fair and balanced, everybody knew that that was 288 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:45,799 a croc. So anyway, he managed to build this ambiance around him and 289 00:23:45,839 --> 00:23:51,079 every one. So he's on with Cuomo now on News Nation at least once 290 00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:56,599 a week. The two of them are interesting pair together. Actually, So 291 00:23:56,440 --> 00:24:03,359 this is something that he has written that I'm with one hundred percent, talking 292 00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:11,759 about the cancel culture being vicious, immoral, embracing the media companies and they're 293 00:24:11,799 --> 00:24:18,799 embracing that one way of thinking. So he brings up a bunch of examples 294 00:24:18,799 --> 00:24:23,279 in this column that I almost want to read verbatim because it's that important. 295 00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:29,559 He makes reference to Rachel Maddow and the new book that she has and how 296 00:24:29,559 --> 00:24:33,559 the networks have been all over her interviewing her. CBS has had her on 297 00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:36,680 twice, she's been on with Kobe Area. This is all this stuff. 298 00:24:37,319 --> 00:24:42,319 So she's using, according to him, the liberal media to sell her product. 299 00:24:42,519 --> 00:24:49,359 Good for her. And then he counters with Mark Levin has a new 300 00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:55,640 book called The Democrat Party Hates America. It's a massive bestseller, so says, 301 00:24:56,319 --> 00:25:00,640 O'Reilly because he's selling it on his own TV show, radio show. 302 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:06,200 But there's no corporate media that's behind him. Nothing, not a he says. 303 00:25:06,759 --> 00:25:10,799 And then he talked about Alan Dershowitz, who doesn't have a program. 304 00:25:11,079 --> 00:25:15,119 He has a book called It's Actually about Donald Trump being targeted by the Justice 305 00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:18,880 Department, and you know how many people have read. Well, he's got 306 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:22,759 one that's coming out. I just talked to dersh and he had the coming 307 00:25:22,759 --> 00:25:26,720 out about Israel, and yeah, two weeks but nobody will the point that 308 00:25:26,839 --> 00:25:30,640 nobody will talk to him about it, and it's not even about Trump, 309 00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:33,079 is the point I'm making, right, Yeah, And the point that that 310 00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:41,079 Bill O'Reilly is making is one that is well suited to having a discussion about 311 00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:47,279 because it is a direct link to how one sided much of the news media 312 00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:52,559 is. And so there was that's the reason that Fox was born in the 313 00:25:52,599 --> 00:25:56,000 first place, because there were people who wanted I mean, it got a 314 00:25:56,000 --> 00:26:00,319 little carry the devotion to it got a little carried away, but then the 315 00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:07,680 devotion to MSNBC or CNN also got misconstrued, shall we say. Anyway, 316 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:15,319 he goes on in this op ed piece to talk about Republicans and conservatives who 317 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:22,480 are abused by the mainstream media, and he specifically talks about Disney and ABC 318 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:30,079 and Comcast and NBC and Warner Brothers' own CNN, and it is it's a 319 00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:34,440 factor in what you don't know. It's not that it's bad business, because 320 00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:40,000 it's not. It's good business because they find an audience and they're selling advertising 321 00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:42,640 and that's what they're trying to do. So they either create an audience or 322 00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:47,640 they find an audience that likes what it is that they're presenting. In the 323 00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:51,000 meantime, those of us who want to really know what's going on. Thank 324 00:26:51,079 --> 00:26:55,880 heavens for News Nation that's come along, and there's a scripts Howard has a 325 00:26:55,920 --> 00:27:00,160 new competing Nationals is not as good as News Nations, but as good presentation 326 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:03,720 as I've seen in a long time, Frankly, and you hear me talking 327 00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:07,680 about all the time, because it's refreshing to be able to watch it. 328 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:11,519 I mean, Cuomo used to be on CNN and he used to be associated 329 00:27:11,519 --> 00:27:15,599 with a left Now, whether it's because he needs a job or because this 330 00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:17,960 is who he really is, I don't know, and I don't care. 331 00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:22,680 I'm just getting stuff from them that makes me think, Okay, this is 332 00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:26,559 really telling the story and the message is clear here because more and more people 333 00:27:26,559 --> 00:27:33,759 are watching News Nation. But Riley points out how the cancel culture has gained 334 00:27:33,839 --> 00:27:41,680 momentum and there is much more of this sort of you know there, He 335 00:27:41,799 --> 00:27:45,839 says, you know, you look at the view. He cites the view, 336 00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:49,759 which is as lopsided as you can possibly. It's so obvious, you 337 00:27:49,799 --> 00:27:55,799 know how much who wants to listen to Joey bay Are anyway? No matter 338 00:27:55,799 --> 00:27:57,880 what is that can be a sexist comment, and I don't care she's a 339 00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:03,079 bore b o a r and to be ore as well. And the people 340 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:08,039 they get one sided like that. Yeah, I you know, I know 341 00:28:08,319 --> 00:28:11,440 Mark Levin. I like him as a person. I think his program is 342 00:28:11,559 --> 00:28:17,960 terrible because it's just like and Sewan the same thing. I like them both. 343 00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:21,680 I would consider them not we're not friends, Frid Well, Sean and 344 00:28:21,759 --> 00:28:23,920 I know each other better, but you know, you converse them to see 345 00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:27,640 each other here and there and have a good conversation. I just but there's 346 00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:32,680 an audience for it, and they found it okay, good, so they 347 00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:36,519 can sell their stuff. But would it be better if they were if it 348 00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:40,599 was, you know, not so lopsided? Is the point that O'Reilly is 349 00:28:40,599 --> 00:28:45,480 making after making the point that they are one side and we all know that 350 00:28:45,519 --> 00:28:48,359 they're one sided. There's no mystery, there's no news there. It's just 351 00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:52,319 that the way he put it together, it's so blatant to have it put 352 00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:56,680 together this way, so obvious, and that there is this one side in 353 00:28:56,759 --> 00:29:02,000 this. Are we beating a dead horse by having this story or continuing to 354 00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,440 tell the story. I don't know. I don't think we're beating data ors. 355 00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:07,640 I just think it's good to point it out. Yeah, you agree, 356 00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:11,440 ladies, absolutely, and it just further's the point of you can't get 357 00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:14,960 one story from one news source. You have to see the same news story 358 00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:18,680 across different news sources to if you want. The actual story is open everywhere. 359 00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:22,359 Yeah, right, So it's great business time for Caldron. I would 360 00:29:22,359 --> 00:29:26,400 think the phones would be ringing off the hook and people would be ordering nauseum. 361 00:29:26,799 --> 00:29:29,920 That's right.

Should I put down my farm newspaper that's all about crop 374 00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:26,759 comments and do social media stuff? Now, ladies, what do you think? 375 00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:30,279 Yeah, I'm kind of interested in these crop comments though, are you 376 00:30:30,319 --> 00:30:41,799 really well? It is? This is a discussion of fertilizer costs, as 377 00:30:41,839 --> 00:30:45,720 a matter of fact, and how much more it costs us for fertilized thinking, 378 00:30:45,799 --> 00:30:52,240 get something getting some of the fields lined last year for the appropriate number 379 00:30:52,279 --> 00:30:56,720 of acres that I wanted to have lime put on because that neutralizes the soil, 380 00:30:56,079 --> 00:31:00,480 makes it less acidic. And it was like four thousand dollars was the 381 00:31:00,519 --> 00:31:06,039 cost, and now the same thing as five thousand dollars. So welcome to 382 00:31:06,119 --> 00:31:15,799 the world of realction costs. Okay, let's get to some social media, 383 00:31:15,839 --> 00:31:21,880 shall we remember our social media handled is that good day networks wherever you go 384 00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:26,640 to X or to Y or Z or whoever it is that you're following. 385 00:31:26,119 --> 00:31:33,319 I noticed that TikTok and Instagram users say they would be willing to pay for 386 00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:38,720 everybody to get them off social media. Ditching people say they'll ditch social media 387 00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:44,720 in exchange for being paid a small fee. This is according to a study. 388 00:31:45,279 --> 00:31:48,720 It was done? Was this done by the TikTok? The Chinese people 389 00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:52,079 in the National Bureau of Economics research. Oh, so it doesn't have some 390 00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:59,000 credibility a real study? Really? So that means, yeah, go ahead, 391 00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:00,839 and I want you to explain. Thanks you No, No. What's 392 00:32:00,839 --> 00:32:05,119 fascinating is there are some users who would willingly give up social media in exchange 393 00:32:05,119 --> 00:32:08,839 for being paid a small fee. Some people would willingly pay for their peers 394 00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:12,799 to get off of social media. And I think a lot of us, 395 00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:17,400 we we know people like this where they can't even have a conversation when keeping 396 00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:22,039 their eyes focused on you and listening to you intently because they can't go longer 397 00:32:22,079 --> 00:32:27,079 than five minutes without starting to scroll through their phone, like just completely incapable 398 00:32:27,119 --> 00:32:30,119 of it. Have we ever been to dinner with those people who cannot keep 399 00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:34,440 their phone out of their face while you're at arriving it? Yeah, I 400 00:32:34,519 --> 00:32:37,720 just I refuse to bring it. People say, well, well, I 401 00:32:37,079 --> 00:32:43,359 just texted you, so what do you want from me? My my iPhones 402 00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:50,839 are in the truck. I'm not I'm not having dinner. We need a 403 00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:54,039 break. I always tell people, I'm like, do not make me your 404 00:32:54,039 --> 00:32:58,440 emergency contact, because in a case of an emergency, you probably won't get 405 00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:01,000 a hold of me. Just thank you, so you know. So, 406 00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:04,839 how much money are we talking about here? We talked about one hundred dollars, 407 00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:08,240 fifty dollars, two hundred dollars. How much will the average person take 408 00:33:08,559 --> 00:33:13,000 to stay off? Is this permanently or is this just for X amount of 409 00:33:13,079 --> 00:33:15,799 time? Pardon the use of some of it. Some people would get off 410 00:33:15,799 --> 00:33:20,920 of it for four weeks about a month, for like under sixty dollars. 411 00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:23,920 So maybe that's who's gonna pay every month? Where's the money going to come 412 00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:31,920 from? It's the theoretical conversation, man ah, monopoly past, go without 413 00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:37,119 pulling up your phone? Collect two hundred hours, two hundred Maybe that's a 414 00:33:37,119 --> 00:33:40,920 little better than sixty. Please, Hey, Jen, Jen, have you 415 00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:45,240 noticed how much better and Jay has? She thinks she always had a wry 416 00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:52,000 sense of humor, but she has hesitated to put it into gear, and 417 00:33:52,039 --> 00:33:55,400 I'm finding I love her. She's got a great dry wit. Are you 418 00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:59,160 should have liked being insulted? Which is funny. Well, thank you. 419 00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:05,440 I feel our relationship has gone to the next level. Doug, Yes, 420 00:34:05,519 --> 00:34:08,119 it has, right, exactly, all right, you spend it. Don't 421 00:34:08,159 --> 00:34:12,239 spend too much time with Jennifer though, because that's contagious. All right. 422 00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:17,000 Next, we have a question at all of our social media having to do 423 00:34:19,119 --> 00:34:22,880 with the election results from last week. This has been brewing all a week 424 00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:28,119 and weekend. Here's Dennis who says, looks like the Republicans are on the 425 00:34:28,119 --> 00:34:32,440 wrong side once again. I keep hanging on to that Trump train. Cliff 426 00:34:32,519 --> 00:34:38,519 is right. I love that there it is. But he said, is 427 00:34:38,519 --> 00:34:44,559 that cliff just ahead Virginia, Kentucky, Ohio. Go over the cliff, 428 00:34:44,559 --> 00:34:47,719 you go with Trump. See later, Alligator.
