We are here to 10 00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:43,840 present the full Monty the Midweek Idea dump in a manner of speaking here and 11 00:00:44,759 --> 00:00:50,479 I thought, perhaps this idea, with this story and the ideas it represents, 12 00:00:51,079 --> 00:00:58,560 might intrigue people. The story of Ross Cook, who claims he's become 13 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:04,359 the first person ever to run across the entire length of Africa after crossing a 14 00:01:04,519 --> 00:01:10,400 finishing line in Tunisia. What an immense feet this is film, It really 15 00:01:10,439 --> 00:01:14,719 is. But id of Dangerous Grain automatically goes to that scene in Forest Gump 16 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:18,120 where he just starts running one day and then other people keep start running with 17 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:19,359 him, and then he just stops and he's like, I just felt like 18 00:01:19,439 --> 00:01:21,920 running. And he's like, well, I guess I'm going to go home 19 00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:26,879 now I'm done running, and everyone's yeah, what. This guy has run 20 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:32,359 the equivalent of three hundred and eighty five marathons in the last three hundred and 21 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:41,200 fifty two days, that is thousand miles. He sees what he's done as 22 00:01:41,239 --> 00:01:49,640 an inspirational accomplishment because he's raised six hundred and fifty thousand dollars to give to 23 00:01:49,799 --> 00:01:57,280 select charities. So he crossed sixteen countries, lots of deserts, rainforests, 24 00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:04,079 mountains, He got in angled in visa issues, he got mugged, he 25 00:02:04,159 --> 00:02:08,240 ran through a sandstorm, he got hurt, he got sick, he ran 26 00:02:08,319 --> 00:02:15,680 through a snowstorm. Good God, three five marathons in a matter of three 27 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:20,599 hundred and fifty two days. Pretty amazing. The world is full of amazing 28 00:02:20,719 --> 00:02:24,039 people who do amazing things. And so that's one of the things I like 29 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:29,719 to do here on the Good Day pri was celebrate what people like this guy 30 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:35,639 Ross Cook did. He ran. He started in South Africa and then he 31 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,560 went to in Namibia and then Angola, and then the Democratic Republic of the 32 00:02:38,599 --> 00:02:44,599 Congo, Republic of the Congo, Cameroon, Nigeria, ben in Togo, 33 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:50,800 Ghana, the Ivory Coast, Guinea, Senegal, Mauritania, Algeria, and 34 00:02:50,960 --> 00:03:00,199 ended in Tunisia. He started in April of last year and he goes his 35 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:04,599 team and he were robbed at gunpoint in Angola. Some of these countries. 36 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:09,360 One of the ladies who worked on me works in Ken's office in Florida. 37 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:15,439 Doctor Ken the other day was originally from what used to be called Rhodesia, 38 00:03:16,759 --> 00:03:21,599 and she came to the United States when she was ten years old and has 39 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:27,960 worked around the country. But told stories of how difficult it is for white 40 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,400 people to live in these areas. You know, we think of prejudice in 41 00:03:31,479 --> 00:03:36,360 terms of whites not liking blacks, or you know, some people are not 42 00:03:36,439 --> 00:03:40,560 liking Jews, whatever it is. But in some parts of Africa, the 43 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:46,960 blacks who are the majority population don't like the whites. And then you know, 44 00:03:46,039 --> 00:03:50,680 you go there are lessons to be learned like this all over the world. 45 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,680 The Japanese are the most racist people I've ever come across. They don't 46 00:03:54,759 --> 00:04:00,120 like anybody except themselves. They'll claim that they do, or they'll be okay, 47 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:05,360 the Japanese men like big blonde American women and that's about it. The 48 00:04:05,439 --> 00:04:10,960 rest of the world you can go take ike with so anyway, the prejudice 49 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:16,560 stuff, and this is what this guy encountered on day two sixty seven in 50 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:21,759 Mauritania. People were stopping on the roads to offer water and supply, so 51 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:27,800 that comparison the contrast getting robbed in one country and then having so many people 52 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:33,560 support you in other countries. So it was really kind of a what a 53 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:41,800 great way for someone to claim his humanity if you will, the final day, 54 00:04:41,879 --> 00:04:46,199 the last forty four miles to the finish line, or a gang of 55 00:04:46,639 --> 00:04:53,240 inspired runners who had flown to Tunisia to support him and run with him for 56 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:59,600 this elast occasion. So God bless this guy. Wow, what this guy 57 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,519 must You wonder about his upbringing? Right? Don't you think about where he 58 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:06,639 came from and what his attitude with his parents, how much influence they were 59 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,439 he did this in the first place. Was he trying to bring awareness to 60 00:05:10,519 --> 00:05:13,639 something? Did he just like first come? Did he just feel like running 61 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,920 they maybe could be any I don't know, We don't know what the story 62 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:23,959 is. This is the story basically, as we hear in the Boston area 63 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,800 get ready for the Boston Marathon, which is next Monday, thinking about all 64 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,879 the people who will come from many of those countries. Most of the time, 65 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:36,959 the people who win these races come from countries that are either the countries 66 00:05:36,959 --> 00:05:42,199 that I've enumerated or countries that are close to them. Kenya. Usually the 67 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:46,639 Kenyans are pretty strong when it comes to finishing and getting the finish line and 68 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:50,040 winning the Boston Marathon, New York marathons. He's the one that you have 69 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:53,879 to qualify for, right, You can't just sign up to do it. 70 00:05:54,439 --> 00:05:59,199 Yep, right, yep, yep. Okay, So let's move into another 71 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:03,000 area. Things that are on my mind and maybe on your mind, Things 72 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:08,639 that are really bugging me. The more I read and the more I hear, 73 00:06:09,199 --> 00:06:16,240 and the more I sense of this ridiculous, this annoying, this outrageous 74 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:25,000 proposal by the President of the United States to pay down more student debt when 75 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:30,560 there are so many people with the right question, why are you doing this 76 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,120 for them? What are you going to do for me? And how dare 77 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:40,040 you do this? With my money? Is this guy is so obviously buying 78 00:06:40,199 --> 00:06:46,199 votes and coming up with even though the both the majority of the Democrats and 79 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,600 well Democrats are trying to support him, but they know how unpopular this is. 80 00:06:50,399 --> 00:06:55,519 You got to wonder what it is that is what the thought process is 81 00:06:55,560 --> 00:07:00,079 here and how is it I mean, pretty obvious because he's unpopular with younger 82 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:04,120 voters that he's buying votes. But what do you do? Don't you feel 83 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:10,199 helpless? I kind of feel helpless here because I don't think I don't want 84 00:07:10,199 --> 00:07:14,879 this to happen unless there's a fair and balanced way. Pardon the use of 85 00:07:14,959 --> 00:07:19,800 that phrase to help everybody. Either help everybody, or you don't help anybody. 86 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:25,079 You don't select out well you do if you're President Joe Biden, you 87 00:07:25,959 --> 00:07:33,399 want to specifically you can hear the frustration of my voice, specifically target a 88 00:07:33,439 --> 00:07:38,120 group that doesn't like you or doesn't want to vote for you, and say, 89 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,639 okay, here, I'm paying off the rest of this debt with taxpayers 90 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:48,319 money, Please vote for me. It's a damnable outrage. And so I 91 00:07:48,319 --> 00:07:54,600 don't know whether we get let people blow off steam by asking a question on 92 00:07:54,639 --> 00:08:00,920 our social media. One of the daily questions, what if if you're not 93 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,920 having your student debt paid off, what do you want paid off? Or 94 00:08:03,959 --> 00:08:05,879 what do you think? I don't know. You come up with some question 95 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:09,199 that you think is appropriate, Jay, and I will tell you makes me 96 00:08:09,319 --> 00:08:11,000 sick. We always want people to call it to eight five five nine nine 97 00:08:11,079 --> 00:08:16,199 nine Doug eight five five nine nine nine thirty six eighty four. My issue 98 00:08:16,199 --> 00:08:22,399 with this is that it doesn't fix the ultimate problem student debt of so many 99 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:26,040 so many people borrowing money and then they can pay back the loan itself. 100 00:08:26,079 --> 00:08:28,720 But it's the interest rate that gets people. I've known so many people who 101 00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,799 realize that the job that they went to school for is not going to be 102 00:08:31,919 --> 00:08:35,679 enough to pay back the student loans that they actually end up quitting and going 103 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:41,240 for other jobs just to pay back those student loans. Yep, it's it's 104 00:08:41,759 --> 00:08:50,639 It's one of the most damnable things. And what it does is drive people 105 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:56,639 into the arms of the other candidates, which it may get you some votes 106 00:08:56,360 --> 00:09:00,759 from people who don't think, who are dull and think, hey, this 107 00:09:00,879 --> 00:09:03,919 is great, I'm getting my loans paid without thinking about anybody else. It's 108 00:09:03,919 --> 00:09:09,240 all about and maybe he has some pity somebody in the way, I's got 109 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:13,559 a psychology degree, and they say, Okay, other people they'll they'll put 110 00:09:13,639 --> 00:09:18,559 up with this, just do it. And then he doesn't have support for 111 00:09:18,639 --> 00:09:26,639 it among congressmen. And that's that The whole idea of the president spending money 112 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:30,919 that's not appropriated is kind of illegal or on cost too show something, because 113 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:37,200 the Congress is supposed to suggest how money is spent or vote on it and 114 00:09:37,279 --> 00:09:41,919 approve it, and then you know, the president can sign a bill that 115 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:52,559 supports it. But that's it's it is pretty dog gone outrageous and so I'm 116 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:54,840 not going to leave it at that. But that's what I've said. Enough 117 00:09:54,879 --> 00:10:03,360 for now for some reflection on people's parts. You had more drama for your 118 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:09,879 mama. Here on the Celebrity News section, this is what's trending and a 119 00:10:09,919 --> 00:10:16,120 lot of social media lists today Mandy Moore talking about what Jay refers to the 120 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:24,919 two thousand Oughts shooting on the set of Vanity Fair, a teen shoot of 121 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:31,200 a lot of people that you, I'm sure can identify with Hillary Duff and 122 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:35,879 Mary Kate and Nashley Olsen, the twins and Evan Rachel Wood, and there 123 00:10:35,879 --> 00:10:39,960 are a bunch of other people an iconic moment for the early aughts, and 124 00:10:41,039 --> 00:10:43,879 Vanity Fair has always had this Hollywood issue where they have a lot of quite 125 00:10:43,879 --> 00:10:48,080 a few famous people that are on the cover, and then the cover flat 126 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,960 folds over and you unfold it and then there's more people. So you had 127 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,039 on the actual cover Man of Binds, the Olsen Twins, many more, 128 00:10:54,600 --> 00:11:01,919 Hillary Duff and then when you opened it more you all so had the rest 129 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:05,120 of the it girls of that time, Lindsay Low and Raven Simone, Alexis 130 00:11:05,159 --> 00:11:09,399 Bludel, Evan, Rachel Wood and some of them have done different interviews saying 131 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:13,759 kind of like they're always asked about this because it was such an iconic moment 132 00:11:13,279 --> 00:11:16,600 and they all did it. And we know that a lot of times when 133 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:20,279 there's a big group shot like this, it's people are shot individually and then 134 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,960 added together, and this was one where they all went in. They had 135 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:26,240 the same They all had to have their fittings and then line up and be 136 00:11:26,279 --> 00:11:33,559 approved and then Poe's like all all together. And so the most recent one 137 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:35,960 to discuss it was Mandy Moore, which it's her birthday, by the way, 138 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:41,879 she turned forty. Happy Happy birthday, and Mandelie Moore, and she 139 00:11:43,039 --> 00:11:46,000 was talking about how there were two of the people were fighting over some boy, 140 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,279 there were some drama on set, there were some people were having issues 141 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:52,279 with the fittings. She even talked about her experience where she felt like it 142 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:54,799 was really cool for her to be there, but she also felt like she 143 00:11:54,879 --> 00:11:58,879 didn't fit there. She didn't think she was cool enough. She didn't think 144 00:11:58,879 --> 00:12:01,519 she was at the same caliber of all of these other people. The guy 145 00:12:01,639 --> 00:12:07,080 she was dating at the time an amazing tennis player, Andy Erotick, one 146 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:09,240 of the Olsen twins. She didn't name which one, but one of them 147 00:12:09,639 --> 00:12:11,799 had a crush on her boyfriend and they joked about that and she was like, 148 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:16,000 that actually made me feel really cool, Like that was her moment made 149 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,399 her feel cool. Hillary uh Yeah. Hillary Duff had talked about this that 150 00:12:18,919 --> 00:12:22,919 she actually found it to be super stressful the whole shoot. Evan Rachel would 151 00:12:22,919 --> 00:12:26,600 probably said the most where she hated this experience, but she later went on 152 00:12:26,759 --> 00:12:30,440 and shot other covers with Vanity Fair and said it was a lovely time, 153 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,759 but she was one of the last to get fitted and other people took up 154 00:12:33,759 --> 00:12:37,720 more time, so she she was more so rushed and she didn't want to 155 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:39,960 wear what she was wearing, and she was offered, you know, flats 156 00:12:41,039 --> 00:12:43,240 or heels. She picked the flats and they're like, nope, take the 157 00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:45,799 heels and do this. And she So that was the first time she ever 158 00:12:45,799 --> 00:12:48,919 felt like she was part of a cattle call, that she was not a 159 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:52,200 human. She like all of her any opinion she had was taken away from 160 00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:56,080 her. And she's owt in that moment of like never to let that happen 161 00:12:56,120 --> 00:13:01,519 again. And so that was really a defining moment in her personality and career 162 00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:05,919 too. So this was not only iconic for fans, but it sounds like 163 00:13:05,919 --> 00:13:09,360 it's pretty iconic for them. Sounds like much to do about nothing to me, 164 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:16,039 But okay, but that's me. Yeah, I just these folks who 165 00:13:16,039 --> 00:13:20,080 are self important. I mean, I get it's a story and people are 166 00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:24,200 going to want to read it, especially probably the folks from your generation who 167 00:13:24,399 --> 00:13:30,559 look to those people for entertainment stories. But this is the only one that 168 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:37,360 ever really like icon status. Okay, well listen, it's kind of a 169 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:41,879 matter of the heart, I guess for a few of them. And that's 170 00:13:41,279 --> 00:13:46,440 kind of cool. That's why I leave these stories to you, because each 171 00:13:46,519 --> 00:13:52,559 generation has its If we had a story about some of the people who were 172 00:13:52,799 --> 00:13:56,120 musicians, like there's a whole thing about Phil Spector that's floating around that has 173 00:13:56,159 --> 00:14:00,240 been done, and then you know, that'd be something we'd identify. So 174 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:03,039 it's good. Every generation's got different stories. So it's great business time for 175 00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:07,000 Caldron.

You know, they're some folks who are high performers, but they're 190 00:15:11,279 --> 00:15:16,720 not necessarily high achievers. Some are, some aren't. A lot of people. 191 00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:20,080 We were talking about this guy that ran across Africa and raised all that 192 00:15:20,159 --> 00:15:26,639 money for charity. High achiever, yep, high performer yep. Does he 193 00:15:26,679 --> 00:15:31,600 win an award? I don't know that he was looking to win an award. 194 00:15:31,799 --> 00:15:33,360 Was he trying to attract attention? I don't know that he was trying 195 00:15:33,399 --> 00:15:41,279 to He did so in that circumstance. There are those who do things who 196 00:15:41,279 --> 00:15:45,679 are looking for great results because it's good to have great results. It's good, 197 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:50,799 it's helpful. They're not looking to aggrandize themselves. They just want to 198 00:15:50,799 --> 00:15:54,840 make it happen. So here's an example of that kind of a thing. 199 00:15:54,840 --> 00:16:00,120 A single father living in Nebraska managed to pick up a a salad. He 200 00:16:00,159 --> 00:16:04,279 went stopped in to a store and picked up one of those salads, you 201 00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:10,480 know, those prepared salads. Wanta he got a He bought a Mega Millions 202 00:16:10,759 --> 00:16:17,200 ticket and uh he won a million bucks on the ticket. His name is 203 00:16:17,279 --> 00:16:23,480 brand Edgington went into a grocery store in Fremont, Nebraska, the pre made 204 00:16:23,519 --> 00:16:30,600 salad he bought for lunch, decided to play Mega Millions and then he you 205 00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:37,360 know they his his folks are avid Mega minions and powerball players, but he 206 00:16:37,399 --> 00:16:40,000 only plays once in a while. When the jack bought, like a lot 207 00:16:40,039 --> 00:16:44,159 of other people, Jay Jackpot gets high, wasn't expecting to buy a ticket, 208 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:51,320 but he did anyway, and why not. So the person in front 209 00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:55,440 of him was cashing in a bunch of scratch tickets and he said, okay, 210 00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:59,759 I'll buy a ticket. He doesn't again, he doesn't play that often. 211 00:16:59,759 --> 00:17:04,039 He's single parent. The salads in what he buys for lunch and more 212 00:17:04,039 --> 00:17:08,519 important to him financially. So he went back to the store and asked the 213 00:17:08,599 --> 00:17:12,200 clerk to help him check the ticket. The number on the ticket. That's 214 00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:19,279 when he found it out. The person behind the counter looked and disappeared for 215 00:17:19,279 --> 00:17:25,240 a minute and then came out with somebody else, and they stared at him 216 00:17:25,279 --> 00:17:29,720 for a second, and she said, don't pass out when I tell you 217 00:17:29,759 --> 00:17:34,039 this. The ticket had five quick pick plays for the drawing, and it 218 00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:38,960 matched all of the winning numbers but not the Mega ball, So he didn't 219 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,799 win the big prize, but he got a million bucks. So what the 220 00:17:41,799 --> 00:17:45,720 heck's wrong with that? Right? That is? Like I love yep. 221 00:17:47,079 --> 00:17:51,839 The odds of winning a million bucks playing the game are one in twelve million, 222 00:17:52,319 --> 00:17:56,680 six hundred seven, three hundred and six. So the odds of winning 223 00:17:56,720 --> 00:18:02,559 any prizes there are only one in twenty four in something. Often a lot 224 00:18:02,559 --> 00:18:04,440 of times you swing your money back, you win the price of another ticket, 225 00:18:06,279 --> 00:18:10,039 right, yes, yeah, that kind of a cool thing. All 226 00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:14,400 right, I'm going to tell a story here because I may sound a little 227 00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:19,079 distracted this morning, because I am, and sometimes I would. This program 228 00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:23,400 is about you and me and us and what's going on in the world that 229 00:18:23,519 --> 00:18:30,480 may affect us directly indirectly. And this affects me directly. My daughter Megan 230 00:18:30,599 --> 00:18:38,400 was involved in a very serious car accident, and she's not She's physically hurt, 231 00:18:38,559 --> 00:18:45,400 physically harmed, but not as much as she's emotionally harmed in the sense 232 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:48,480 that the you know, she's sitting in a green light. She's on her 233 00:18:48,519 --> 00:18:52,799 way home from work. She's sitting in a red light, and the light 234 00:18:52,799 --> 00:18:56,599 turns green. So you expect to be able to drive across the intersection of 235 00:18:56,680 --> 00:19:03,720 Wiltshire Boulevard in Los Angeles without having to worry about somebody coming from the other 236 00:19:03,759 --> 00:19:12,680 direction basically crashing into your car, destroying it and affecting your immediate life and 237 00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:19,400 limbs. So anyway, that's what happened on Monday afternoon. She was going 238 00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:23,279 across on her way home, and she the light turned green, and so 239 00:19:23,599 --> 00:19:30,279 she drove through the light. Meanwhile, this lung punk kid, a nineteen 240 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:37,720 year old driving his mother's BMW on his cell phone texting, drives through the 241 00:19:37,759 --> 00:19:45,160 red light and crashes into her car, destroys the car and scares a living 242 00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:48,559 hell out of Meghan, And she's you know, this is the kind of 243 00:19:48,599 --> 00:19:53,640 thing that you The guy crashed into the side of the car where Miles sits 244 00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:57,440 in the back seat, and you know, she's thinking about what would have 245 00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:03,440 happened if and all of the these things because of something that she had no 246 00:20:03,519 --> 00:20:07,079 control over. She didn't do anything wrong. There are five or six witnesses 247 00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:12,519 who say that the light was red going on wheelchair and it was green to 248 00:20:12,599 --> 00:20:18,799 cross Wiltshire where she was, and so here this unnecessary, this disruption in 249 00:20:18,839 --> 00:20:26,000 her life and the ruination of a car was perfectly good car. And this 250 00:20:26,279 --> 00:20:30,480 guy and his parents now are saying that it was Megan's fault, even though 251 00:20:30,519 --> 00:20:33,240 she has all these people. And of course I'm going to take the side 252 00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:37,640 of my daughter, because that's what I would do. But under the circumstances, 253 00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:41,000 I can see these people, I can smell them, I can feel 254 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:45,039 them, these people of privilege who feel like they, you know, no 255 00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:48,799 matter what happens, my children don't do anything wrong, and therefore you're wrong, 256 00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:52,960 and therefore we're going to sue you, take you to court, do 257 00:20:52,039 --> 00:20:56,319 whatever. But we're not taking responsibility for what happened. But also there were 258 00:20:56,359 --> 00:21:03,720 cameras in there. What was the inter sections wilsher and what else? I 259 00:21:03,839 --> 00:21:07,240 want to say, Beverly, but I don't remember now what she told me. 260 00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:11,519 Who would I believe that one has Yeah, most of those have have 261 00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:15,599 cameras. Yeah, they can just go easily revert to that. But oh, 262 00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:19,079 I'm so glad she's okay. That is traumatic, Yeah, yeah, 263 00:21:19,079 --> 00:21:22,480 it is. And when I read that first she sent me a note, 264 00:21:22,519 --> 00:21:26,079 Daddy and says what happened, And I call her up and and I can 265 00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:32,440 tell from her emotions and see what it is that's going on. And then 266 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:34,519 her father feels, you know, all right, I want to go right 267 00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:38,759 for the throat of the people who hurt my daughter. And you know, 268 00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:44,640 sometimes you do it the right way. Sometimes you just the whole thing is 269 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:49,000 just so upsetting. And then I think about mercury and retrograde and stuff about 270 00:21:49,039 --> 00:21:56,279 being careful, and it's it's important. It's just that it was so unnecessary, 271 00:21:56,880 --> 00:22:00,960 so selfish. And then these people, But what are you teaching your 272 00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:07,480 nineteen year old kid when he's responsible and you don't let him take responsibility or 273 00:22:07,599 --> 00:22:14,480 urge or make him take responsibility. You're going to tell everybody in the world 274 00:22:14,799 --> 00:22:17,200 you weren't there, so you didn't see it. You're going by the way. 275 00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:18,400 And I get it, you know, I want to believe your own 276 00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:23,240 children. But then you make a you know, you turn it around. 277 00:22:23,759 --> 00:22:30,279 It's just up. It's upsetting me knowing how upset that she is over and 278 00:22:30,559 --> 00:22:36,519 so you know, bringing closure to it is probably an important thing to do, 279 00:22:36,599 --> 00:22:41,480 but I just this kind of stuff with these people, and I won't 280 00:22:41,519 --> 00:22:45,240 dig into any more who it is and what they're like. But there's a 281 00:22:45,279 --> 00:22:52,920 group of people who have moved into Beverly Hills who are very much self entitled, 282 00:22:52,960 --> 00:23:04,240 and it's just okay, let me move into something else. And I 283 00:23:04,279 --> 00:23:07,519 got my mind over of that, all right. Here's this story, as 284 00:23:07,519 --> 00:23:14,759 long as we're going down the street that has no end, The story of 285 00:23:14,839 --> 00:23:19,799 doctor Derek Todd. This is a story that goes back about ten years jay. 286 00:23:21,039 --> 00:23:25,519 People who have gone to see this guy doctor at bring him to Women's 287 00:23:25,519 --> 00:23:30,240 Hospital here in Boston. Bostin papers are full of this story this morning. 288 00:23:30,599 --> 00:23:34,519 This is some of the woman that I'm looking at who had the first story, 289 00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:41,839 struggling with pain and her spine, so goes to see this rheumatologist who 290 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:45,039 is recommended by her. Guy's name, as I said, is Derek Todd. 291 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:49,720 He started normally, this is a thirty seven year old woman that came 292 00:23:49,759 --> 00:23:57,559 down from New Hampshire. But he progressed and started groping her body, and 293 00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:00,880 she said, I think this. He seems to be enjoying this a little 294 00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:08,200 too much. And so this guy obviously crossing the line. But this was 295 00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:12,680 ten years ago and she didn't do anything about it, but apparently she wasn't 296 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:18,119 alone. She didn't want to talk about it because she felt ashamed and she 297 00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:22,839 didn't think she could do anything about it. She knew it was wrong, 298 00:24:22,279 --> 00:24:26,079 she wanted to tell somebody, but then she didn't. So anyway, it 299 00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:33,359 turns out that this guy has done this two hundred times or more. There's 300 00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:37,960 another This is like that guy that was the director Larry somebody or rather remember 301 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:42,160 that from the college in the Midwest who groped Yeah, right, exactly. 302 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:47,960 So anyway, I'm not going to tell you who some of the possible victims 303 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:51,960 are here, but there's a line as long as your arm of women and 304 00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:57,880 men who have joined a consolidated lawsuit against this guy, Derek Todd, accusing 305 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:04,759 him of performing on the necessary pelvic therapy, breast examinations, testicular examinations, 306 00:25:04,839 --> 00:25:14,759 rectal examinations. This guy is a creep and so anyway, he was a 307 00:25:14,799 --> 00:25:19,039 doctor treating inflammatory conditions of the muscles. That was a specialty. He's been 308 00:25:19,079 --> 00:25:29,359 abusing patients since twenty ten. It appears egy or something like that, where 309 00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:33,960 it makes sense that some of these exams may have been needed. His right 310 00:25:34,079 --> 00:25:40,720 upon examination it looks like the people that bring him in Women's and before that 311 00:25:40,799 --> 00:25:45,640 he worked to Charles River Medical Associates. They knew about the abuse and they 312 00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:48,480 didn't do anything about it. So that's what this lawsuit is about. They'll 313 00:25:48,519 --> 00:25:53,720 get millions and millions and millions of dollars, which is good, I guess. 314 00:25:55,359 --> 00:26:00,000 But what is there about these people who practice, who go into medicine 315 00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:04,559 or into any practice with an agenda they want to do more, or they 316 00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:11,480 somehow become jilted, or they become mentally deranged or whatever it is. But 317 00:26:11,519 --> 00:26:18,720 there's no defense against him or the hospital who knew what was going on and 318 00:26:18,759 --> 00:26:22,559 they didn't do anything about it. So this will be the well this has 319 00:26:22,599 --> 00:26:27,680 been investigated since April of last year. It'll be a huge I'm looking again 320 00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:30,640 at the Globe story. This is going to be a huge, huge, 321 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:34,359 huge case. Why is it the older again? It feels like a good 322 00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:40,079 quality sleep becomes harder and harder to come by. It just becomes more difficult 323 00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:44,039 to get that well rested look when you wake up in the morning because you're 324 00:26:44,079 --> 00:26:48,079 not really feeling well rusted. My pillow can change that. As somebody who 325 00:26:48,079 --> 00:26:52,119 suffers from chronic illness. Sleep and quality sleep is really hard to come by. 326 00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:56,920 But here's the thing. My pillow is probably one of my favorite items 327 00:26:56,920 --> 00:27:02,920 in my home. I Mypello's pellow. It is one of those things where 328 00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:07,640 I can change the shape of it to really create on my neck if that's 329 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:11,720 what I'm needing. The Mypellow pillow is just so incredible. But that's not 330 00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:15,119 all they are known for. They have mattress toppers, they have down comforters, 331 00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:18,480 they have blankets. It is like the quality sleep shop.

On the technical side of social media, the 337 00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:45,319 people who control let's say Facebook, that's Meta group. Zuckerberg's in charge of 338 00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:52,799 them. Then you have mister muskover at X and what's going on with him. 339 00:27:52,279 --> 00:27:57,160 He's made a prediction. Mister Musk has the capability of the new artificial 340 00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:06,319 intelligence. He said is will surpass human intelligence in a year that's so long 341 00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:11,799 as the supply of electricity and hard work and satisfy the demands of the powerful 342 00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:17,880 technology that's been created by whom? And where where did this stuff come from? 343 00:28:18,319 --> 00:28:22,599 Who developed it? How did it get developed? Did it develop itself? 344 00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:27,440 That's the question. The AI, he says, is smarter than any 345 00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:33,160 one human probably and it'll be in within the next year to five years, 346 00:28:34,559 --> 00:28:40,400 it'll the AI will exceed the capability of all humans. How can you even 347 00:28:41,359 --> 00:28:44,640 how do you deal with that? How do you even think? What? 348 00:28:45,079 --> 00:28:48,039 You know? What does it do to the money supply? What does it 349 00:28:48,079 --> 00:28:52,799 do to the operation of everything, automobiles, airplanes? What does it do 350 00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:57,319 to work? What does it do to people in their sense of self and 351 00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:02,680 accomplishment because there's a reliance on this stuff that we don't think for ourselves. 352 00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:06,880 I every time it started, Where did this they start? Where did this 353 00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:11,480 come from? How did he get developed? Is there a person or a 354 00:29:11,519 --> 00:29:14,960 company? I never see that? I asked that, how did he get 355 00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:22,839 found? To get the founders of these companies Google and Facebook and the old 356 00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:26,880 you know what is now X So those are the people that are responsible for 357 00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:32,200 this. The birth of AI started around nineteen fifty nineteen fifty six with Alan 358 00:29:32,359 --> 00:29:37,559 Turing publishing his work Computer Machinery and Intelligence, which eventually became the Turing Test, 359 00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:42,640 which experts used to measure computer intelligence. And then eventually the term artificial 360 00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:48,039 intelligence was coined and came into popular use. Wow, I don't know, 361 00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:51,759 so it's been around for that long. The start of it was back in 362 00:29:51,799 --> 00:29:55,480 the fifties. Well, you know a lot of stuff, like the Internet 363 00:29:55,559 --> 00:30:00,720 started as a military as a function of the military, so they communicate, 364 00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:06,519 and that's I'm betting that there's some kind of military expertise or sometime, you 365 00:30:06,519 --> 00:30:11,920 know, we have to look into the military involvement in AI. I'm betting 366 00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:15,839 that that's the route, because the military, even though we say it saves 367 00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:22,359 us, it's the root of all evil and my mind, weaponry and the 368 00:30:22,359 --> 00:30:25,559 things that we've created. Just go look at the movie Oppenheim or if you 369 00:30:25,599 --> 00:30:29,359 haven't seen it, and then you'll come out of the movie theater talking to 370 00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:33,960 yourself as much as anything else, all right. Also with mister Musk, 371 00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:41,480 he broke the news, dropped a big bomb on the on the news media, 372 00:30:41,119 --> 00:30:47,519 introducing something called the ROBOTAXI. This is when I went to the Peterson 373 00:30:48,039 --> 00:30:52,200 Auto Museum with my grandson last week and looked around. There's a whole floor 374 00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:56,039 dedicated to Tesla, a truck and cars and stuff. It was disgusting. 375 00:30:56,079 --> 00:31:00,839 Frankly, I was fascinating to see what other old cars and stuff are there. 376 00:31:00,839 --> 00:31:03,640 It's a great place to visit, but there's just way too much Tesla, 377 00:31:04,519 --> 00:31:11,680 way too much focus on this guy and his smug He's just kind of 378 00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:15,640 a smugger as far as I'm concerned. Everything about what he wants he seems 379 00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:18,759 to be able to get because he's got all the money in the world to 380 00:31:18,799 --> 00:31:23,160 do her with the new robotaxi that's supposed to be introduced, doesn't have a 381 00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:29,960 steering wheel, doesn't have any pedals, so he supposedly, I guess it's 382 00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:37,480 this week he's going to unveil this technology. And so then what's the speculation 383 00:31:37,599 --> 00:31:42,039 on what gets done with this stuff? So anyway, so if you look 384 00:31:42,039 --> 00:31:48,519 at there's some places wherever on X that he spills his guts. That's where 385 00:31:48,519 --> 00:31:51,559 the robo taxi story is there. Now you see it all over the place, 386 00:31:51,599 --> 00:31:55,599 and a TV reports, et cetera, et cetera. We're entering no 387 00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:59,240 man's land. Folks, it would seem to me the next Stefan Good Day 388 00:31:59,279 --> 00:32:02,680 download with Doug and Jay Kirshner is made possible in part by Keltren, which 389 00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:06,880 is the safe way for you to lose weight and keep it off
