The next Stefan Good Day download with Doug and Jay Kirshner is made possible in
part by Caldron, which is the safe way for you to lose weight and
keep it off, and also by previlegent keeping your brain healthy. It's Valentine's
Day. There's a great opportunity right there thinking about Valentine's Day and manner of
speaking, which is more than roses. It's romance? Is it romance and
roses? The romance of your relationship? How do you keep it alive?
You pay attention to the other part, the partner in your relationship? Right
what drives you to be passionate for that person? You have passion in your
life at all? Are you embracing something or someone? When you wake up
in the morning, do you think about love? Do you think about romance?
Do you think about where you you know, what your roots are?
Did your mother and father demonstrate to you of anything about romance? And it's
really it's kind of a pure It's the purest of all motivations. Is love?
Is it not? And this is a celebration of love. Hasn't always
been that way? There was you know what? We have boxes of chocolates
and lots of flowers and roses and stuff. This was originally known as Saint
Valentine's Day, and this goes back to ancient Rome the Christian faith. As
usual, the Christians, the leaders of the Christian Church, grabbed all the
pagan holidays, and so you know that it was a religious holiday to begin
with, about Saint Valentine, who was a Roman saint martyred after helping couples
get married in secret, defying the Emperor of Rome. So that's where it
came from. Kind of started is anything but love. This guy was a
martyr, he was imprisoned, he was put to death, he became a
saint. And so from that point, the fact that he was responsible for
marrying people that the church didn't want to see married, It's like today,
how long when was it first okay in the Catholic Church to be married if
you were gay? How long ago was that? It was? Not that?
Oh that's a good question. Not long enough. It was still relatively
new, Yeah, twenty fifth. It hasn't been long. Yeah, hasn't
been long at all. So anyway, I guess that I want to hope
tomorrow will be all about passion and how it'll be about encouragement for a romance,
no matter what the relationship is. Yeah, it sort of began as
man and wife, women and men, but then it has become a whole
different mix. And you know what, if you have love for somebody else
and you want to be with this person, what could be wrong with that?
It may not be your cup of tea, but if it's somebody else's
cup of tea and it makes them happy and they create good because finding good
is something that's difficult. Life's too short to be wasting time making judgments about
people. In my mind anyway, in my world, just yeah, no,
let's make this as good and strong and loving as we can. That's
the whole deal here. I was kind of concerned. There was an American
woman who was killed in a drug dispute in Mexico at a beach resort.
My daughter had gone to Mexico to spend the weekend with three of her college
friends. Hadn't done They hadn't been together for a long long time, and
it was her birthday and they wanted to celebrate it with her. So it
was there a treat for her to come and join them. I don't know
what the resort was but it's not this one. The way this American woman
was there killed apparently she didn't have any connection at all Jay to the drug
dealer. She just got in the shooting was on the beach of this resort.
Yeah, right, And in the name this is in the name of
drugs, in the name of money. Look at all of violence, look
at the killing those of you who use. I had dinner last night with
a radio friend and we were talking about people who used drugs at one point
or another in their lives. If you use them and you don't you know,
they they say, well, I'm not hurting anybody else. Well,
the very fact that you're buying them, and you're getting them from somebody who
got them from somebody else to trickle down the line at some point there is
there's the possibility of violence because of the money that's attached to it. Right,
Think about all of the various steps from the production of the drug itself
to the sale of it, and there's always four or five different hands involved
in that. Because there's so much money in it. It's a scourge.
So I'm not here to accuse, but I am here to make note of
the fact that if you use drugs of any kind. You're contributing to this
kind of violence. You just aren't. We can't negate the fact that addiction
is an illness. Well, but you get started on it, there's a
why do you get started? It is an illness, you're right, but
how do you get started on them? What's the motivation for you the first
time to do drugs? Do some kind of gaossity recreationally prescribed pills that led
to addiction? Okay, reasons, and you know what the ramifications are of
doing it, That's all. And what I'm saying is think not that it's
going to get You know, the people that I'm talking to probably already agree
for the most part with what I'm saying. Maybe you do, maybe not.
Most everybody, see I'm an anomaly. Most everybody, at one point
in time or another in their life, whether it's college, you know,
high school, young adulthood, first job, whatever, have tried, as
you just suggested, drugs. So I'm trying not to sound judgmental here because
I saw so much abuse of drugs and things when I was a youngster.
I just have no tolerance for it. I have no patience for it.
I have no interest or desire. That's me so without me sounding judgmental,
the fact is that if you use drugs of any type, you are,
as the end user, contributing to a business that is wholly unwholesome and not
only unhealthy, but it's it's it's counterproductive. Maybe that's the nicest thing I
can say about it. Anyway, I'm more concerned about this sort of thing,
and I am was concerned what I saw this first day because Megan had
been down there for the weekend, not in this particular area, but it's
so prolific in Mexico it is so and then you the further you go into
Central America and into South America, it's more of a controlling factor in governments,
in businesses, in everyday life because there's so much money in it.
Okay, I'll stop being Joel Ostein and move on into something else. Today
is election day in New York City, where George Santos was a Rep.
Ah. How can we forget George Santos? So right, yeah, So
the race to succeed him, as you might expect with politics being the way
that it is, today is the election. This is a New York City
suburban area and so the type of people running, you know, or you'd
think a little bit more gracious, a little bit less, But it's the
same everywhere. It's Trump versus Biden, you know, on the local scale
and the right I think about all of this stuff. Certainly, it's unusual
to have a special election at this time. This is more a primary.
But because Santos is gone, there is a contest between former Congressman Tom I
believe his name is Swozy, who's a Democrat. He's facing off with a
Republican lady named Mazzi. I think it's Pillop, who is a lawmaker in
the county, and the you know, the go back and forth. This
is again in the suburbs of Long Island, and I think there's a small
corner of Queens that's in it. But is this the way strategically this whole
year is going to go right? The messages that have been involved in this
particular race are about immigration, are about abortion. So those are the two
big ones, right, Abortion with Republicans, that's the number one issue that
is negative in their camp, and immigration is the number one issue that's negative
in the Democrats camp. So they're back and forth on those two issues and
the stuff about public safety certainly is part of it, and so you wonder
whether this is it. It'll be interesting to see tomorrow at this time what
the turnout was. The is this is what bothers me about the news media.
Well, let's expect it to be low. Not many people are interested
in the race, or they even know so right away their turn people off
right using that kind of language, Well, not many people are expecting.
So people see that or they hear and they think, I guess there's not
much point in me going to vote. If nobody else is going to go
to vote, why should I bother? That's sick and we Yet it is
all over the place, and it's been a big thing on the political talk
radio stations in New York City, and it's played over onto the local newspapers
and things in on Long Island. I don't know. I just I don't
like to see the the the back and forth is what you would expect.
Okay. Apparently this guy Swosey was the representative there for three turns before,
pretty much in the middle. He didn't like it, nor did he come
across as someone who is liberal there. You know, that doesn't play well
on Long Island. So he says he can work with the Republicans to make
things. You know, that's another one of the themes. It's abortion,
it's immigration, and it's can you work with the other people? Right,
that's the one of the big deals here. And so yeah, exactly,
you've already seen it. When they can't work together, nothing gets done.
Exactly. So, speaking of that, another Democrat from New York, majority
leader in the Senate, Chuck Schumer, pushing the folks in the Senate to
finish the job, to get that ninety five billion dollar foreign aid bill across
the finish line. Today Ran Paul who is a vocal opponent of the bill,
filibustered on the floor yesterday and then Schumer, you know, went after
him. This is something that funds Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan, all kinds
of stuff. But there are flaws in it, to be sure. Do
we need it when we need something to take care of the immigration issue,
that's for sure. Tomorrow is Valentine's Day or V Day, victory victory day.
I guess it depends on what you consider. Is a Valentine that is
well placed and appreciate is that a victory? I suppose it is depending on
what's going on in your relationships. Somebody are equally yoked with and a good
match. And relationships take a lot of work. And when you find somebody
and you're willing to do the work and they are willing to do the work,
I think that is a victory. There you go. Victory. Victory
is our cry. V I C T O R Y. All right,
So here's in this celebrity news department. Here what's trending on social media?
This portion of this hour focusing on Miranda Lambert and in Rey k Iglesias.
Now that I've said that, do you think there's something going on romantically between
the two of them? Well, I will give you the inside scoop space
in my heart. The duet is Miranda Lambert Enrique Iglesias. This is being
promoted as Texas meets Spain. So she's certainly a country music legend and he's
a Latin pop superstar. So they have teamed up. This was certainly not
something you'd see on the radar necessarily, but it sounds kind of nice.
I thought, didn't you jay kind of it? It's really poppy tune.
Yeah, so this song is being yeah, it supposed to be out next
week. Apparently it's all over social media, the focus on promoting Space in
My Heart. They announced the project by posting a snippet of the song on
Instagram, and so that's why we're talking about it here. It's really it's
kind of an interesting picture if you look at it in black and white of
the two of them. She's looking at Iglesias, and it just kind of
it's neat. It's an unique way of sort of promoting it. I think,
don't you? And it's I why not? She said in the promotion.
Can't wait for y'all to hear this one. And you don't love me
yet? But no, you will if you only felt half of what I
feel. If you ever go, I will never change. There's a space
in my heart and it's just your shape. I think if I had been
the promotional people for this, I would have I would have announced it and
then released it tomorrow on Valentine's Day? Wouldn't you think that would be a
good time for this is it'll do what it'll do. But I just thought,
I think, you know, this is a perfect way to have you
know, singers and songwriters focus on Valentine's Day and what it's all about if
you were mine. It was the last thing a pers yeah right, yeah
sweet? All right. So there it is Miranda and Enrique Space in my
Heart coming out next week. I'm Greg. I'm sixty eight years old.
I grew up in Cleveland, Ohio. Majored in business administration. I do
motivational speaking in addition to substitute teaching. Part of the reason for my motivational
speaking is I kind of feel like I have a calling or giving back to
the younger generation. You know, the golden rule is do unto others you'd
have them do unto you. My wife, Wanda, as a senior flight
attendants, She's been flying for over thirty years. We do laugh quite a
bit. I think most adults will start realizing that they don't recall things as
quickly as they used to, or they don't remember things as vividly as they
once did. I've been taking Previlegen for about three years now. People say
to me periodical, man, you got a memory like an elephant. It's
really really helped me tremendously. Probagen, healthier brain, better life. Grig

that old expression love is not having to say you're sorry. Remember that.
Ah, that's the one I was trying to think of it. That was
her love story. I never saw love story, but I've seen it now
and Then. And there's a scenea Now and Then where two of the characters
are watching Love Story from the roof of a house at a drive in theater,
and you can't really hear it, but they're like they're saying the words
along with it, And that's the life. Yeah, yeah, there it
is. We all have a choice to make, how about love and how
we interpret it and how we use it and how we enjoy it. But
the one choice that you ought to make is that there ought to be some
love in your life in some way, shape or form. You got to
have love. It is a fabulous, refreshing, enlightening feeling to have it
for whatever. You have it for your children, you have it for your
spouse, You have it for your dog or your cat. You have it
for your job, whatever it is. Love and passion or drive us all
that's part of the core of being a human being. You have a choice
to make to have love, and even let's say you don't have you've gotten
to the point of your life where you're the last one standing. If you
will, you have a choice to remember those loving You know a lot of
people when they get old and they get kind of crotchety and they get angry
because there's you know, their life hasn't gone the way they wanted it to
for whatever the reason. But all of us, every single one of us,
can find something about our lives that has been loving, that is loving,
and that is worth embracing. I think that's the choice you make.
Embrace the love, embrace the feeling, embrace whatever it is. I couldn't
imagine having a life without my children, my grandchildren in it. I've had
lots of love, good love relationships, but the relationship that I enjoy the
most is the one which involves my daughter, my son, my two grandchildren.
No, that's it, and excuse me. I posted you saw it
probably and you can put it on the on the good day Facebook pages.
We went to Jay the picture of me with Jasper at the piano. He
decided he wanted to play the piano, so I went over to the piano.
He started banging away on the piano, and I gave him a couple
of chords and a couple of things that he followed, and he's kept looking
at me and looking at my hands, and then Brendan decided to take a
picture of That's what that picture is where I'm just kind of, you know,
having some fun with him. That's what it is. Love is about
fun much as anything else. Here's a go ahead, and you go ahead
you want to. Oh no, I'm just gonna say. I've heard something
about grandparents and how like the grandparents and the grandchildren and stuff and how there's
just that special bond. And then it was pointed out that it's the reason
for the special bond is more so because the grandchildren remind you of your own
children when you were that age, and it's like you get to do it
again for a brief moment. Mm hmm, Well it's not so brief as
far as I'm concerned. Is that how you feel though? Is that kind
of like true? Yeah, yeah, I think that's probably that's a that's
a that's in an apt way of putting it. Yeah, that's good.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. Here's a real
life Golden Girls situation. This is really kind of cool. Remember Blanche and
Dorothy and Rose and Sophia. This group of four friends known each other since
they were in high school. They're now in their eighties. The four of
them graduated Saint Mary's Academy in Grass Valley, California, in the mid fifties.
For the past year they have lived together at a senior living retirement community.
It's just a couple of miles away from where they went to high school.
So one of them said, I think friendship is really important, and
having old friends is wonderful. There's so many of us that are gone.
It's very important to me to know that I still have these three wonderful women
all around me. So anyway, they knew each other at this school,
small private school. When they graduated, they said to each other, we've
gone our ways and we went to family and careers and stuff. But they
wanted to stay in touch and they did. And when this the first one
of them moved into the senior living facility, and you know, they all
thought, oh well, Listen, we're all at that age. We don't
have anybody else, We're going to go and live with them. So that's
what they do. They all live together. This is so cool, especially
because I feel like over the years you lose some friendships, you gain other
friendships, and to have the same kind of core group of friends where it's
not that well, you're friends with these people, and you're friends with those
people, and you are basically the link between them. But everybody has their
own friendship and that lifelong friendship that is something so special and so unique,
and anyone who has that hold on to that, yep, yep, very
important stuff. It's another branch of love as much as anything else. It's
loved. This is Love Week, Valentine's Day, all that good stuff.
All right. So a lot of people are buzzing about John Stewart going back
on The Daily Show this week, and as he went on the air,
he went right for it. In typical John Stuart. He went right after
Trump and he went right after Biden the two And that was one of the
great things about that program, and it hasn't had it it was it went
into the tube. A lot of people in that operation tried to get him
to come back again. I remember doing a radio this program from the studios.
One day I was invited to go and Stewart and Lewis Black, who
was big on the program at the time, came in to do the program
with me. You know. It was six o'clock in the morning in New
York City, and those guys do the program, they do it. They
don't do it liveough sometimes I think he did do it live at like ten
o'clock Eastern, but for the most part they did it like most of those
late night shows. They do him five to six o'clock at night. But
anyway, so he came in in the morning and we had a very interesting
He was great. I could have left. He just took the program over
and it was fun. It was pretty much him as you expect him.
He's one of the few people that I know and I haven't kept up with
him. Probably I wish I had, because he started a farm in New
Jersey when he got off the Daily Show. Has lived his life as he
preached it, if you will, helping people. His announcement when starting the
program, it was on Indecision twenty twenty four electile disfunction and then he was,
yeah, right, yeah. The mishandling of classified documents basically referring to
Biden is shameful. And he you know, I mean, if you listen
to him, he's on the road to torpedo ring if that's the right way,
yea torpede to torpedo and add an ing to a torpedo ing. Right,
the reelection efforts, and then he goes after Trump the same business,
you know, the depositions and how are we this is the best we have
it the question that we're all asking ourselves. We're talking about it off the
air, you know, how how do you figure out who to vote for?
And most people in America are echoing with John Stewart, And that was
what he was so good at before echoing what everybody or most everybody was thinking.
It wasn't you know, what his politics were. But it wasn't a
political show, and he wasn't beating you over the head with it like Colbert
does and Kimmel does, and so many other people who think that everybody watches
them because they are hanging on their every breath as to what they say about
either Biden or Trump or the philosophy that's there. And you know what.
It's such that that audience is dwindling, mostly because of the control of the
Republican National Committee and the Democratic National Committee have on the politics of their of
their party. And you know the whole business Trump's trying to get his what
is it his daughter in law, who is the what's the woman's name was,
or his niece or somebody to be the chairman of the Republican National Committee,
and you see this as one of the Trump ladies. That is it
his niece? I forgure what her name is, but I know that I
saw something about him trying to get her into that position. And that's the
kind of stuff that Stewart says. He wanted to have a place to unload
his thoughts. Isn't it great that you can call up the producer of progres
said, Hey, I'm the former host and I want to go on back
on the air and tell everybody what I'm thinking. And so he did and
that's yeah, that was good. His hosts for Mondays now, yeah,
right, too bad. He's in the host every every night because we can
use some of that. He played a clip of Kamala Harris assuring that in
a closed door meeting that Biden was smart on his game and on top of
it and then managed to take it apart. She's worthless. My god,
what a disgrace anyway, all right, so that's the return of John Stewart.
Remember last week we were talking about this mother who's the children that she
had an only fans decal in her car. Children. Yeah, they were
from the school pickup line. Right. Well, now the children have been
expelled from the school. Not only should not pick them up, they threw
them out of the school. Yeah. Name is Michelle Klein. She was
told to cover up her decal or risk being her children getting out of thrown
out a liberty Christian preparatory school. And so that was the end of that
because that's what they did. The intolerance. You know, it's a private
schooling can do what they want they want. It's still sad and yeah,
really not doing anything. She's not hurting anybody. It's it's an only fans
detail on the back window with her. I guess, well that's what audience
find her. Well, yeah, and it's it's where you can find her
and stuff because she's promoting her business. This is her business. And unless
anybody went on there to see exactly what her business is on OnlyFans. How
do you know how provocative it gets? Because there are some things that are
way more provocative than others. There's some who people never even get nude.
There's nothing that truly is too like triple X about it. You're you're begging
the question. If this is a Christian school and they don't support this kind
of stuff, how did they know what it was in the first place.
Hello, knock, knock, anybody home. There's a little hypocrisy here,
I'm thinking. 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'll be twenty five years this April, and we've

Thanks to Elizabeth Miller here, one of the great calitrinconsultants at top loss dot
com. Social media in the focus here in this portion of each hour of
the program. You can always connect to us too. By the way,
at good Day Networks on all of the social media platforms Facebook, Instagram,
x is a focus on a social media threat made against the Pittsburgh Public schools,
and so the couple of school districts have made some changes. One of
their students reported a threat to This is what West Mifflin School is. How
it looks like a district officials say schools will not receive any visitors. This
is excuse me, this is so it's just ruining everything. These damn social
media connections are great, but then they're not. This is ruining a lot
of good, important social development time for youngsters. And it's just it's sick.
It is. Pittsburgh Public schools are operating on a modified lockdown because of
the threat the whole school system. I don't even know. I'm not going
to repeat the threat. I don't see it here anyway, but the fact
that it is taking hold as it has. Some people say it's not a
big thing, you're overreacting. But isn't it better to react and be wrong
than to react and be wrong? Yeah? Right, Yeah, that's what
I'm saying. So go do a sweeps and everything, and then the modified
lockdown is that only existing appointments or meetings will still be honored. Nobody else
is permitted to come into the building. There will be no outside activity.
So if it's an elementary school where they typically would do outdoor recess, they
have to stay inside. And it's just it's it's scary even just the thought
of any of it. Yeah, but yourself in that position with your children,
I guess that's the reason for it being as important as it is.
All Right, We've posted at a good Day show at the Good Day well
all of our social media. The question on our social media for the next
day or so is what was the best Valentine Date? You ever had.
All right, hey, we start with you. What is the best Valentine
Date you ever had? Oh? Man, I don't know. We I
don't my husband. I don't celebrate Valentine's Day. The last time we celebrated
was our first Valentine's Day together as a couple, and it was such a
miserable time because it was a restaurant we always went to, and we could
tell that for Valentine's Day, they brought in extra tables, extra chairs.
There was no space, barely move. You were basically on quadruple dates with
all of these strangers, and it was just so miserable. But our thing
is, I guess this is our best dates are we go to the grocery
store, we get great ingredients, and then we cook together. We cook
our own dinner. Oh, I've had a few. I will tell you
the worst one. When Tony and I were married, I was like a
kid that was James. I was younger than James when I got married and
didn't have a clue. So in the first Valentine's Day together, we went
to a restaurant and I gave Tony a telephone and she looked at me.
She we'd had a rough time. The first we got married November. We
met in July, and so by this time Tony was waking up to reality.
She'd been in a convent. She was a nun for four and a
half years in an infant school down in North Carolina, and then she had
a little thing with a priest and that didn't set it well. So she
got out. She came up to Framingham because a fellow that ran the novitiate
that she was in had a brother who had a school. He was principal
of school up in Framingham, and he hired her and I met her very
shortly after that, and so we had, you know, just kind of
a moderate romance and decided, oh, this will be fun, let's be
married. She never she said she always was. She was happy to tell
me all the time that she never really agreed. She just went along with
the program. The next stepan Good Day download with Doug and Jay Kirshner,
