Twenty twenty 4 00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:21,600 four, My goodness, I know. Come on yep. January second, 5 00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:26,559 twenty twenty four. It's the Good Day Program continuing into the New year with 6 00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:30,600 Jay Kershner. Doug Stephen James Collins is at the controls in our studio. 7 00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:37,280 The absolute best program we can do. So as we say hello to new 8 00:00:37,359 --> 00:00:43,359 people, we get ourselves onto stations like wyoh, Youngstown, Ohio starting the 9 00:00:43,399 --> 00:00:47,880 new year with us. That's a good thing. Hello and Happy New Year. 10 00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:53,079 How long is it appropriate for us to say to each other Happy New 11 00:00:53,119 --> 00:00:58,079 Year? Is it a one time this week? Okay? Yeah, if 12 00:00:58,119 --> 00:01:00,799 you haven't seen somebody, I don't think you need to say like I don't 13 00:01:00,799 --> 00:01:03,119 think we need to say to each other every single day. But I think 14 00:01:03,119 --> 00:01:06,280 it's okay to continue to say happy in the Year for the rest of the 15 00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:10,040 week to people. All right, anyway, so we will we will do 16 00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,879 that. You can set the rules and I'll follow them. How's that I 17 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:21,439 will follow you before you go. This is sometimes difficult for people to wrap 18 00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:25,760 themselves around what seems to be impossible. It's a new year already. I 19 00:01:25,879 --> 00:01:29,040 want the old year to last a little longer. I don't know too many 20 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:34,079 people who thought that was the case. I spent New Year's Eve down with 21 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:38,519 some friends in Florida, and it wasn't. We were all thinking, okay, 22 00:01:38,439 --> 00:01:42,879 as were most of you. I'm sure thinking this is a new opportunity, 23 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:49,480 new beginnings, new things, new resolutions, the ill fated tradition of 24 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:57,680 creating resolutions. The situation all right, So James Collins is in our control 25 00:01:57,239 --> 00:02:00,519 room in the studio, the main studio. You're in Dallas. So what 26 00:02:00,799 --> 00:02:05,879 you have made a resolution or two or three? And what has been the 27 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:10,560 outcome in past years of you doing New Year's resolutions? There pal you know, 28 00:02:10,719 --> 00:02:15,520 standardly, it's the it's the standard stuff, like you go to the 29 00:02:15,599 --> 00:02:17,919 gym, work out, get a new body, all that kind of stuff. 30 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:24,439 This year, though, I'm doing it the gym. I'm supporting my 31 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:28,680 partner because she's going to the gym a lot to kind of you know, 32 00:02:28,759 --> 00:02:30,479 get better, get healthier, And I'm going to support her by going with 33 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:34,560 her. So yeah, good, that's good. It helps a lot to 34 00:02:34,599 --> 00:02:38,919 have someone to go with you that is absolute accountability partners for sure. Exactly, 35 00:02:39,319 --> 00:02:44,000 yes, exactly, So all right, so this confetti will throw confetti 36 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,240 and James's direction, Jay, what about you? What's on a noisy crowd? 37 00:02:47,319 --> 00:02:51,280 Support do you have for whatever it is that you did to ring in 38 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,599 the New Years? Ringing in the New Year? As far as resolutions, 39 00:02:55,120 --> 00:03:01,479 but oftentimes people they attach the New Year's resolution to conversation on New Year's Eve, 40 00:03:02,039 --> 00:03:05,639 people say, I know, we had this conversation to a point, 41 00:03:05,759 --> 00:03:07,840 all right, so what are you gonna do that. The older you get, 42 00:03:07,879 --> 00:03:08,840 the less you do of this. By the way, I think, 43 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:12,599 oh the gold is stup. Yeah. My goal for this year is actually 44 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,599 to find my sense of style again. I used to be super stylish, 45 00:03:15,599 --> 00:03:17,879 and then in the last three years I've been living in leggings and T shirts 46 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:22,400 or leggings and sweatshirts that when it's time to actually get dressed, I'm like, 47 00:03:23,479 --> 00:03:27,520 what am I supposed to wear? What fits my body? And so 48 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,000 yeah, it's just the goal for this series to find my sense of style 49 00:03:30,039 --> 00:03:35,560 again, not just wear clothes, but style clothes. So maybe I'll do 50 00:03:35,599 --> 00:03:38,639 a gift to you a session with my daughter in law Sophie. You follow 51 00:03:38,719 --> 00:03:43,479 her on Instagram. You know what she does. As far as being a 52 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,639 style yes, you need stylist, Yeah she is, so maybe you can 53 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:54,199 do that. I was looking at a Forbes survey of resolutions. In reality, 54 00:03:54,919 --> 00:04:01,199 most of us slip away, or let's say the resolutions slip away. 55 00:04:01,199 --> 00:04:09,879 That's not news. Six percent of resolutions are the fruit of your labor by 56 00:04:09,919 --> 00:04:13,680 the time you get to next year. At this time, six percent of 57 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:17,879 you will have fulfilled what you promised you would do for yourself with yourself at 58 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:24,160 the beginning of this year. So it's the hour glass. Remember what is 59 00:04:24,199 --> 00:04:28,920 that? What is that soap opera that begins with an hour? Our lives? 60 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,160 Yeah, days of our lives, Days of our lives? Right, 61 00:04:31,319 --> 00:04:35,839 well, listen, the days of our lives will last two to three months 62 00:04:36,079 --> 00:04:43,920 on average, and so listen, break if you have goals, break the 63 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:48,120 tradition, break the rules, or break something, and at this time next 64 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:54,800 year, maybe you've got some stellar statistics to focus on. There are so 65 00:04:54,879 --> 00:04:59,000 many people at this time. I've found this to be with the folks that 66 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:03,480 I was with over the weekend, very optimistic and hopeful. They think that, 67 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:09,120 you know, they have new intentions and they're going to stick with them, 68 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:13,279 And so that's the thought that you have. Maybe not I think maybe 69 00:05:13,319 --> 00:05:17,759 I'm not I'm doing a disservice here by suggesting that people don't follow through. 70 00:05:17,959 --> 00:05:21,720 Why don't I just turn it around myself and say, I don't really make 71 00:05:23,079 --> 00:05:30,680 resolutions just because it's fraught with danger for me. But I think there's an 72 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:35,920 opportunity for all of us to remember what it is that we didn't like about 73 00:05:35,959 --> 00:05:39,360 last year. And there are many things that most of us didn't like them 74 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:43,360 about last year. And then there's a glass who raise a glass cheers to 75 00:05:43,439 --> 00:05:47,079 the new year and resolved to make it a better year. That's kind of 76 00:05:47,079 --> 00:05:53,759 what I've done. There are there are people who we were using the term 77 00:05:53,879 --> 00:05:59,920 casual promises. You're under a casual promise to yourself. You're under no legal 78 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:05,399 obligation. You're just gonna do something because it feels good or it feels right. 79 00:06:06,519 --> 00:06:12,040 Here's a couple of things that I saw with people sending us notes. 80 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,639 Sharon says, I made no resolutions for the new year. The habit of 81 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:20,480 making plans of criticizing, sanctioning, and molding. My life is too much 82 00:06:21,199 --> 00:06:27,600 of a daily event for me, so I just don't there's let's see here. 83 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,560 Zach says. My new Year's resolution was to stop saying you go girl 84 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:39,879 to myself is John? He says, my wife challenged me to make New 85 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:45,240 Year's resolutions I can keep, so I'm determined and committed to becoming fatter, 86 00:06:45,399 --> 00:06:51,040 lazier, and older. Congratulations John, Let's see here. Mark says, 87 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:57,399 now is the accepted time to make your regular annual good resolutions. Next week 88 00:06:57,439 --> 00:07:01,920 you can begin paving hell with them as you usual. And John says, 89 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:06,480 I set out a box at Donuts just to see how many New Year's resolutions 90 00:07:06,519 --> 00:07:11,759 I could mess with. That's a good idea, right, See, if 91 00:07:11,759 --> 00:07:15,199 you can put the donuts on the table and try to stay away from them. 92 00:07:15,759 --> 00:07:21,839 I find donuts very hard to stay away from. You, No, 93 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:26,800 I probably would to do. I do not care for donuts remotely, but 94 00:07:26,839 --> 00:07:30,480 I don't really have a sweet tooth. I'm not super into sugary stuff. 95 00:07:30,519 --> 00:07:35,160 Give me salt any day of the week. Really, let's see, dieting 96 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:39,680 on New Year's Day isn't a good ideas. You can't eat rationally, but 97 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:43,920 really need to be free to consume whatever is necessary moment by moment. How 98 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:46,680 many of us had that. I had a couple of really good meals in 99 00:07:46,759 --> 00:07:51,920 Palm Beach over the last couple of days. It was great this you know 100 00:07:51,959 --> 00:07:56,439 that, like three course meals as you go up to get closer to New 101 00:07:56,519 --> 00:08:00,360 Year's I didn't make it. We were done at ten o'clock, but it 102 00:08:00,519 --> 00:08:03,839 started at six, so you can imagine how it's spread out over the course 103 00:08:03,879 --> 00:08:09,120 of the evening. Anyway, keep your resolutions if it's important to you. 104 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:16,319 This is a time of year when we are focused also on the first new 105 00:08:16,399 --> 00:08:20,439 babies. There were three babies here in Boston, according to the Boston papers, 106 00:08:20,759 --> 00:08:24,959 who were born exactly at midnight. So that's a sweet new Year, 107 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:30,959 right, Bringing the new year with new babies. There are there's always going 108 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:35,399 to be this. The two big hospitals here bring them in Women's and Beth 109 00:08:35,519 --> 00:08:43,679 Israel. Welcome to three babies. Margarita and Roberto of Dorchester. As that 110 00:08:43,799 --> 00:08:50,639 we say here about dutchesstter six pound, five ounce Selena came into the world. 111 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:58,519 Let's see here Eileen and Andrew de Roma, welcome to seven pound fifteen 112 00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:05,039 ounce baby named Emily, got two older sisters and let's see, there was 113 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,440 one of the one. But you know, just think about this is the 114 00:09:07,519 --> 00:09:11,919 story here locally, but there are tons of these babies and no, this, 115 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:16,360 I mean this is a national story. This is this is one of 116 00:09:16,399 --> 00:09:20,840 those things that, yeah, there's always that one baby, the first baby 117 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:22,720 to be born at the beginning of twenty twenty four, and this year there 118 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:26,519 were three that were all born at the exact same time. They were all 119 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:30,799 the three first babies of the year. Very cool. Huh, Yeah, 120 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,919 that's something And what is that? What is this year? And what do 121 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:39,840 their lives hold in store for them something. I'm not necessarily making it a 122 00:09:39,879 --> 00:09:41,919 rhetorical question, but think about all of the things that yeah, all right 123 00:09:41,919 --> 00:09:48,440 ahead of us and like astrologically speaking too, yeah, right, the population 124 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:56,919 of the world has increased and so as of today, eight billion, just 125 00:09:56,080 --> 00:10:00,639 shive, eight billion people live on the planet. I remember remember when I 126 00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:05,080 was a kid, the population of the planet was like four billion. That 127 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:13,200 would be it's doubled in the past seventy eighty years. Wow. And this 128 00:10:13,279 --> 00:10:18,200 is one of the conversations that we had at dinner about how we were talking 129 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:22,200 about all of the illegal people coming into our country. We can't seem to 130 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:26,000 manage. We don't seem to have the leadership, not only here but also 131 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:30,519 the world's too big. And then you wonder, Okay, what's going to 132 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:35,159 happen, because the natural progression of things is that the Earth will take care 133 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:39,840 of itself. There was a big earthquake yesterday in Japan. I don't know 134 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:43,000 what it was on the Richter scale, was like eight point one or something. 135 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,759 And the western part of Japan although a series of islands, and that's 136 00:10:46,799 --> 00:10:54,879 where when the earthquake took place, that destroyed the atomic nuclear power plant that 137 00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:58,279 was on the east side of Japan, and that took place, it was 138 00:10:58,279 --> 00:11:01,559 about ten years ago. How long ago was that jay you remember on that 139 00:11:01,799 --> 00:11:05,879 Yeah, sounds like if I werecalled ten fifteen years ago somewhere in that vicinity. 140 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:11,600 And they've just cleaned up from that. And so now this on the 141 00:11:11,639 --> 00:11:16,080 other side of Japan, tidle waves and tsunamis and things like that. I 142 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:22,200 imagine that island is the most popular in the New World order of things. 143 00:11:22,879 --> 00:11:26,720 There are those who refer to that area of the world as New Asia. 144 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:30,720 I wonder what that we'll see as we move into the new year. Yep, 145 00:11:30,799 --> 00:11:37,080 there it is twenty twenty four. Billy Joel, one of our most 146 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:43,200 prolific popular singers, has done very well over his life, and so he's 147 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:48,000 got a big mansion on Long Island that he has decided in the new year 148 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:52,840 to sell. I'll tell you how much he's selling it for what the listing 149 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:58,759 price is and some of the other stuff. He did a New Year's concert, 150 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:05,080 and so he's been talking a lot about what he wants in his future. 151 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,320 I think he's about the same now. He's seventy four, I'm going 152 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:09,200 to say about the same age as I am. So he's got a big 153 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:16,080 mansion on Oyster Bay on Long Island, compound, a twenty six compound. 154 00:12:16,159 --> 00:12:20,200 This is massive, big, huge house. He said, I don't need 155 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:26,960 to live here anymore. He's talking to the audience. I'm going to sell 156 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:33,519 my home. He's got a place in sag Harbor. I know my way 157 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:37,720 around Long Island kind of, but I don't know too much about where anyway. 158 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:41,039 Not important to the story, probably just the fact that when his plans 159 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:46,320 for the new year is to sell this big, sprawling mansion that he has 160 00:12:46,399 --> 00:12:52,440 and the price tag. He's asking forty nine million for a house that he 161 00:12:52,639 --> 00:12:58,120 paid a mere twenty two million for when he bought it to twenty two years 162 00:12:58,159 --> 00:13:01,679 ago. The way to turn that, yeah, right exactly. Not that 163 00:13:01,799 --> 00:13:05,039 he needs it, but you know what, you get me the smart stuff 164 00:13:05,039 --> 00:13:11,879 and you do it. So he has a home in Manhattan, Yeah right, 165 00:13:11,919 --> 00:13:18,519 Well he's got a he's got a bunch of places around. Anyway, 166 00:13:18,519 --> 00:13:24,200 he was over the weekend during the old langdine Zion said again, Doug, 167 00:13:24,759 --> 00:13:30,519 there it is old. It's not old, it's old. Most people mispronounced 168 00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:37,919 that all lang zyon. Yeah. Anyway. It was the end of his 169 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:41,320 residency at Madison Square Garden too, right, or is that still going? 170 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:46,159 There was something in the news about this last year that he was going to 171 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:48,519 end. He's been doing it for ten years. He goes once a month 172 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:54,200 into Madison Square Garden and every time he goes in there, it's filled and 173 00:13:54,279 --> 00:13:58,720 they get premium. The average is like two hundred bucks a seat for this 174 00:13:58,799 --> 00:14:03,679 place. But what a great residency, I believe it. He has announced 175 00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:07,480 that it will end, but it ends in the summer June or July like 176 00:14:07,519 --> 00:14:11,120 that. Yeah right, all right, So at any rate. It's nice 177 00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:16,919 to know that he's there and that he's still performing because he brings a lot 178 00:14:16,919 --> 00:14:20,559 of joy to a lot of people. I'm Greg. I'm sixty eight years 179 00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:22,879 old. I grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, majored in business administration. 180 00:14:24,279 --> 00:14:28,320 I do motivational speaking in addition to substitute teaching. Part of the reason for 181 00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:31,279 my motivational speaking is I kind of feel like I have a calling or giving 182 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:35,279 back to the younger generation. You know, the golden rule is doing to 183 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:39,120 others you'd have them doing to you. My wife, Wanda, as a 184 00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:43,200 senior flight attendant, She's been flying for over thirty years. We do laugh 185 00:14:43,279 --> 00:14:46,480 quite a bit. I think most adults will start realizing that they don't recall 186 00:14:46,559 --> 00:14:50,159 things as quickly as they used to, or they don't remember things as vividly 187 00:14:50,639 --> 00:14:56,000 as they once did. I've been taking privileging for about three years now. 188 00:14:56,279 --> 00:14:58,519 People say to me periodical, Man, you got a memory like an alephant. 189 00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:05,440 It's really really helped me tremendously. Proviagen healthier brain, the better life. 190 00:15:05,679 --> 00:15:09,440 Greg Freeley is a paid testimonialist and real privilegen user. Based on a 191 00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:13,559 clinical study of subgroups of individuals who were cognitively normal or mildly impaired. This 192 00:15:13,639 --> 00:15:18,559 product is not intended to diagnose, treature, or prevent any disease. Is 193 00:15:18,639 --> 00:15:24,720 it funny how you get impact impacted by things that you learn that you know 194 00:15:24,759 --> 00:15:28,759 are true, like the way we treated the Natives and the way you know 195 00:15:28,799 --> 00:15:33,039 the Indians good Indian is a dead Indian from some of the old cowboys, 196 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:39,080 and how wrong all of that stuff. I'm no liberal political thinker by any 197 00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:43,120 stretch of the imagination. That was one of the things conversing with a lot 198 00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:48,000 of people who have different points of view politically over the weekend, and realizing 199 00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:52,960 that some of the newfound friends that I had were libertarians the same as I 200 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:58,120 am in a sense, Just okay, leave me alone. Let the government 201 00:15:58,159 --> 00:16:02,759 do what it has to do needs to do to help people in the and 202 00:16:02,919 --> 00:16:07,919 nothing further than that. That's it, We're done finished. I'd be nice 203 00:16:07,919 --> 00:16:11,200 to have that as a new year as a new Year's reality. Here's some 204 00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:18,399 other This is we're talking about the New York City police people who saved those 205 00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:22,200 folks in the burning building over the weekend. Here's another thing. New York 206 00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:26,240 was busy over the weekend. A couple of officers helped rescue a man who 207 00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:33,919 fell onto the subway tracks Unga Bunga. The officers were conducting an inspection of 208 00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:37,840 a subway station. They saw this guy lose his footing and fall onto the 209 00:16:37,879 --> 00:16:41,879 subway tracks. You talk about it. As fast as those trains go through 210 00:16:41,919 --> 00:16:47,440 and as often as they do. They ran toward this fellow who was standing 211 00:16:47,519 --> 00:16:51,679 up but unable to get back onto the platform. And obviously, when you 212 00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:55,879 look at some of the body camera footage from the police, you can see 213 00:16:56,240 --> 00:17:00,480 the officer jumping down on the tracks because this guy can't move, and so 214 00:17:00,559 --> 00:17:03,440 they got them up. They pulled them up on the platform. But this 215 00:17:03,599 --> 00:17:07,359 is something you know, we think, those of us who live in the 216 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:11,960 country that the most dangerous thing is to be on the road driving. Well, 217 00:17:11,039 --> 00:17:15,720 there are all kinds of damage, there's all kinds of danger and places 218 00:17:15,759 --> 00:17:18,319 all over the country. And living in the city in Brooklyn, New York 219 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:25,559 in January of twenty twenty four, Yep, you can imagine how this could 220 00:17:25,559 --> 00:17:27,759 be a real and the fact that they jumped on and saved him. Good. 221 00:17:29,759 --> 00:17:34,079 There you go, that's something good the way. Yeah. Also, 222 00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:40,359 before I get into skywatching, I was kind of looking back. We're all 223 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:45,200 talking about some of the new laws that are supposed to take place this year 224 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:49,000 is supposed to start. There are a lot of state laws that took effect 225 00:17:49,279 --> 00:17:55,920 yesterday, and these we addressed a few of them earlier on. Some of 226 00:17:55,920 --> 00:18:00,920 the laws are pretty simple, allowing, for example, in Illinois, drivers 227 00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:07,440 to hang things off the rear of your mirror. Okay, that's pretty that's 228 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:15,759 pretty simple. But then there are some other laws that are kind of fuzzy, 229 00:18:15,799 --> 00:18:21,759 if you will, things that deal with pornography, things that deal with 230 00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:27,920 taxes, things that deal with guns and LGBTQ stuff. I was looking back 231 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,200 at some of the things, Jay that have happened in the past year, 232 00:18:30,799 --> 00:18:38,000 the number of laws that were filed and then enacted that we're targeting LGBTQ, 233 00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:44,400 lesbian, gay, bisexual, transsexual, and queer. That's what that stands 234 00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:51,200 for. The American Civil Liberties Union says five hundred eight bills impacting these folks, 235 00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:55,920 and of those five hundred eight bills, eighty four of them were passed 236 00:18:56,400 --> 00:19:02,240 into law and many of them take effect this week. So what does this 237 00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:06,119 do for them to be just left alone? I think there's a you know, 238 00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:08,759 I believe in live and let live. I think a lot of times 239 00:19:08,799 --> 00:19:15,680 some folks who are activists in these various communities who bring attention on themselves sometimes 240 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:19,599 even though they don't mean to create a problem. They're trying to create awareness, 241 00:19:21,079 --> 00:19:26,400 but they do step up the ignoramuses in the world trying to do something 242 00:19:27,519 --> 00:19:32,480 about them, and I just think, come on, what leave leave them 243 00:19:32,519 --> 00:19:34,480 alone? They leave. You know, if somebody is in your face and 244 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:37,079 they're trying to convince you of something you don't believe in, then I can 245 00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:41,519 understand your being upset. But most of these people just want to live their 246 00:19:41,559 --> 00:19:45,200 lives and get, you know, along with things. And so why does 247 00:19:47,319 --> 00:19:51,119 why does it? Why does it feel important that we have to pass laws 248 00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:56,200 around the country. The gender affirming care for minors is something I agree ought 249 00:19:56,319 --> 00:20:00,319 not to be. I'm I'm I'm for that. I don't think they get 250 00:20:00,319 --> 00:20:03,160 thirteen, you know what your life is all about, and to begin stuff, 251 00:20:03,279 --> 00:20:07,839 especially in school, they have, you know, hormone therapy and surgery 252 00:20:07,839 --> 00:20:12,279 and stuff. I just think that's what wrong? What about to play Devil's 253 00:20:12,319 --> 00:20:19,640 Adickett? What about in the instance of a child who is intersex? I 254 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:23,240 don't know what that means even what do you mean intersex? Uh? So 255 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:29,839 like the difference? I mean, yeah, little. The difference between sex 256 00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:33,799 and gender. Sex is the chromosome level, and they may have the genetic 257 00:20:33,839 --> 00:20:37,759 composition of being male, but they have female body parts or vice versa. 258 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:42,359 That would be intersex. So then if the child or the parents wanted to 259 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:52,799 pick which which gender, the gender affirming care in the intersex I'll play Devil's 260 00:20:52,799 --> 00:20:56,119 advocate with you, playing Devil's advocate with me? Where did this? Where? 261 00:20:56,640 --> 00:21:00,519 Where did this start? Where did it begin? How did it begin? 262 00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:03,200 It just seems to have fallen on us in the last four or five 263 00:21:03,319 --> 00:21:08,440 years. That is not the LGBQ that stuff. No, that's been around 264 00:21:08,559 --> 00:21:14,920 forever. They're been gay people forever because that's part of the reality of life. 265 00:21:15,759 --> 00:21:21,079 But to have some of these I don't the answer to the question Jay, 266 00:21:21,319 --> 00:21:25,160 that you presented, I don't have I don't know what to tell you 267 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:27,920 because I don't know that I understand it, frankly, and I don't know 268 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:32,000 that most people understand it. And that's why it ought to be kind of 269 00:21:32,079 --> 00:21:37,640 kept in the realm of over there someplace, so that the folks that need 270 00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:41,839 to have whatever attention they need to have. They get the attention, but 271 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:45,759 it doesn't become a major upheaval and change the course of events of history because 272 00:21:45,759 --> 00:21:51,559 there aren't that many people. And even if there are a large number of 273 00:21:51,559 --> 00:21:56,839 people, which I'm not convinced that there are, that we change everything to 274 00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:00,720 accommodate stuff that isn't a problem to begin with. If it's a problem, 275 00:22:00,759 --> 00:22:04,920 then you deal with it. If there's bullying, or if there's if there 276 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:10,680 are people that are being abused because of their sexual orientation, because of the 277 00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:11,720 way they live, or the way they look, or whatever it is, 278 00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:17,559 that's just wrong. What business I guess I really turn this around and ask 279 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:22,920 of to those of you who find this to be a problem other than the 280 00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:29,200 business that I said, you know, the having hormone therapy and surgery when 281 00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:33,039 you're twelve thirteen years old, I just that doesn't ring a bell for me. 282 00:22:36,279 --> 00:22:41,440 And yes, that term intersex youth? Are they transgenders? Is that? 283 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:45,880 What is that? How you basically explain? Well, transgender is somebody 284 00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:51,319 who is born either male or female and then identifies as the opposite sex, 285 00:22:51,319 --> 00:22:56,480 where intersex you may have the chromosomes of one sex one gender. But say 286 00:22:56,480 --> 00:23:00,200 it like you have the chromosomes that would make you female, but you have 287 00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:04,920 a male appendage that's in our sex, and sometimes in our sex children identify 288 00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:10,440 as what they were born with with the chromosomes, but they have certain hormones 289 00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:15,039 that they need to have gender affirming care essentially, or they identify with the 290 00:23:15,079 --> 00:23:22,200 male appendage over their chromosomes. This is I was talking about the libertarian streak 291 00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:26,119 and the people I was talking to over the weekend and a number of gatherings 292 00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:30,480 that I attended, and talking about, you know, the whole business of 293 00:23:32,039 --> 00:23:36,480 the sexual stuff and where it begins and how you handle it. Why is 294 00:23:36,519 --> 00:23:44,240 it my responsibility, excuse me, or society's responsibility to deal with these individual 295 00:23:45,079 --> 00:23:51,160 things. Maybe gender transformation isn't that so personal that it shouldn't It's like Roe 296 00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:53,079 v. Wade or abortion. I mean, I was sitting with some of 297 00:23:53,079 --> 00:24:00,480 the most conservative Trump supporters in the country and they all agree to a person 298 00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:06,960 that a woman's right to choose is a woman's right to choose and the government 299 00:24:07,079 --> 00:24:10,920 has no play in it whatsoever, no say, and should be out of 300 00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:15,279 it. So this is there's you know, the older some of these rules 301 00:24:15,319 --> 00:24:18,640 are. Maybe they've become inculcated in our lives, and then they are more 302 00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:23,200 acceptable. And maybe that's why every time it comes up for a voting, 303 00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:26,680 these various states that have had they put the Roe v. Wad thing up 304 00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:32,480 on the ballot and they all win. That people want to have privacy, 305 00:24:32,519 --> 00:24:36,920 And I don't know why it doesn't apply to all of these other things here 306 00:24:37,279 --> 00:24:41,319 they were talking about mind your own business. Why is it if you're so 307 00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:45,640 insecure in your own sexuality that you have to make fun of somebody else's sexuality, 308 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:49,079 Then you're a jerk and you need to look in the mirror and figure 309 00:24:49,079 --> 00:24:52,519 out what it is that makes you. Why are you so threatened by somebody 310 00:24:52,559 --> 00:24:56,720 who's different than you? Are you different and you don't want to admit it? 311 00:24:56,759 --> 00:25:02,039 What's the story? What is it saying thou dost protest too much? 312 00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:07,640 Or something like that. Yes, yes, for a lot of people, 313 00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,960 it's very simple where it is yes, it's easily yes or no. It's 314 00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:14,640 not situational, and that's not the case like in the instance of Roe v. 315 00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:18,279 Wade, which you had also commented on, when a lot of people 316 00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:22,119 say, well, it's used as a form of birth birth control. Yeah, 317 00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:23,960 for some people it is. Other people it's because they were raped, 318 00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:29,160 and in some places they would have to co parent with the rapist should a 319 00:25:29,279 --> 00:25:34,160 child have come from that rape, or other instances where it could be a 320 00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:40,680 medical necessity. Where some places where it is you cannot get an abortion unless 321 00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:45,240 it's medically necessary. But there's already a situation that will deem it medically necessary. 322 00:25:45,279 --> 00:25:48,480 It's just in due time, just not yet. Well by that time, 323 00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:53,279 this mother who potentially wanted this child but once future children, it can't 324 00:25:53,279 --> 00:25:57,680 get an abortion because it's not at this moment medically necessary. But in maybe 325 00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,240 a month it will be, or a few weeks it will be by the 326 00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:06,960 time she's septic and ends up losing her uterus, making her unable to bear 327 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:12,400 another child. It's a it's a suppose, yeah, a long way of 328 00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:17,279 saying it's situational. Yep. All right. So I was talking about the 329 00:26:17,319 --> 00:26:22,559 fuzzy dice hanging from the from the the rear of your mirror, and you 330 00:26:22,559 --> 00:26:27,960 can now do that in Illinois. Just so you know a lot of news. 331 00:26:29,279 --> 00:26:33,039 That's it. And then there are new laws guns and things, new 332 00:26:33,279 --> 00:26:38,359 laws regulating guns and online and activity buying them.

Social media time now 347 00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:42,039 every hour. If you're new to the program at this juncture, we take 348 00:27:42,079 --> 00:27:48,039 either some social media stories trending stories about celebrities and stuff talk about them, 349 00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:52,079 or we talk about the social media itself. Maybe some of the technology. 350 00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:57,559 Parents and guardians are going to have more control. There's a new law that's 351 00:27:57,599 --> 00:28:00,640 gone into effect, a lot of new law taking place at the beginning of 352 00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:07,000 the year, and this one focuses on children's social media usage, the Social 353 00:28:07,039 --> 00:28:14,000 Media Parental Notification Act. It goes into effect in Ohio this month's Jay. 354 00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:18,720 How do you think it's going to impact teenagers and even younger children. I 355 00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:22,200 think it's irresponsible for parents to Again, I know you have a tablet for 356 00:28:22,519 --> 00:28:26,400 mac, but that he's not using it. He's just it's there for him. 357 00:28:26,599 --> 00:28:29,039 Yeah, it's a learning to enjoy it. But when it comes to 358 00:28:29,079 --> 00:28:33,000 social media's there's so much that even adults sometimes it's like we have to take 359 00:28:33,039 --> 00:28:37,039 a step back that it can be hard on our mental health comparing things and 360 00:28:37,519 --> 00:28:42,039 also back in our day, Doug, we if there was bullying, bullying 361 00:28:42,119 --> 00:28:47,799 ended when a school bell rang where nowadays kids are if they're being bullied, 362 00:28:47,799 --> 00:28:49,599 they're being cyber bully. They take it home with them. And granted, 363 00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,839 even though Facebook and Twitter, Instagram didn't exist. When I was in high 364 00:28:53,839 --> 00:28:57,640 school, we had AOL instant messenger, so that was our social media where 365 00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:03,880 if people are being bullied, they still would on that. But the minimum 366 00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:08,839 age that always was was thirteen, so you had to have restrictions in place, 367 00:29:10,039 --> 00:29:12,160 and when you sign up for a new account, you'd have to stay 368 00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:18,160 your age, and sometimes you can't access other parts. But it doesn't it 369 00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:22,400 still doesn't really cause or give you a lot of protections. And now they're 370 00:29:22,759 --> 00:29:26,759 updating that age to the age of sixteen instead of thirteen, but you will 371 00:29:26,799 --> 00:29:33,160 need parental approval and they will, yes, but I'm also I'm not sure 372 00:29:33,839 --> 00:29:37,440 to monitoring this. Yeah, our parents are going to have to put their 373 00:29:37,599 --> 00:29:41,319 driver's license in. Can a child take their parents driver's license where they're not 374 00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:47,240 looking and put, you know, create their own account and lie that they're 375 00:29:47,279 --> 00:29:49,559 actually older than they are? Uh, it looks like it depends on the 376 00:29:49,559 --> 00:29:56,160 website itself or the app. When consent is granted, is it written confirmation 377 00:29:56,319 --> 00:29:59,519 of the accounts sent to the parents. But again, you who you know 378 00:30:00,079 --> 00:30:03,880 that are clever, probably get around there. So some parents won't care and 379 00:30:03,279 --> 00:30:06,599 they'll say, oh, well, do whatever you want there, Sonny, 380 00:30:06,599 --> 00:30:10,839 And yeah, so that will be kind of dicey and also something for us 381 00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:14,960 to all be aware too as parents. It's not about punishing your children either. 382 00:30:15,039 --> 00:30:19,359 It's about teaching. These are teachable moments and everything. And if your 383 00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:25,119 child is doing something on social media and you punish them or you don't really 384 00:30:25,839 --> 00:30:29,680 give the educational side of it where you were saying like here, not just 385 00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:30,920 this is wrong, but this is wrong, and here is why it's wrong. 386 00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:34,559 Here's what we could do instead. You're not stopping them from using social 387 00:30:34,559 --> 00:30:38,880 media. You're just helping them discover new ways to hide their social media use 388 00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:45,119 from you. It's a pretty slippery slope for sure. Also, beginning this 389 00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:52,440 month, Amazon starts displaying advertisements and movies and TV shows on his Prime video 390 00:30:52,799 --> 00:30:56,039 streaming service. So here you go. You thought it was for you paying 391 00:30:56,039 --> 00:31:00,640 two ninety nine a month or whatever it is, and you can and now 392 00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:03,279 the price goes up another two ninety nine if you don't want to see the 393 00:31:03,319 --> 00:31:07,079 ads. So you knew this was going to come, sooner or later. 394 00:31:07,119 --> 00:31:10,160 They promised you, oh, you don't have to look at any ads, 395 00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:14,519 and now they're creeping in and they're going to be good guys offering you an 396 00:31:14,559 --> 00:31:18,599 ad free alternative which you thought you already had, right, you thought you 397 00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:23,400 were already being provided with something there doesn't have any ads, but now there 398 00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:27,920 are. I mean, it'll be more subtle and it'll be shorter and stuff, 399 00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:36,000 but it's still is a it's deceitful. There is a shift now, 400 00:31:36,119 --> 00:31:40,400 according to what I'm looking at here, the whole industry is going to start 401 00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:45,839 bringing in ads. So that Netflix, by the way, which is probably 402 00:31:45,839 --> 00:31:51,240 the most popular streaming service around the world, they have a new subscription tier, 403 00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:56,759 so and the same with Prime Video, and they're all they're going to 404 00:31:56,799 --> 00:32:00,119 all do the same thing, all right, So that that's what you're going 405 00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:05,920 to encounter this year when it comes to streaming services. The next stefan Good 406 00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:09,359 Day download with Doug and Jay Kirshner, is made possible in part by Caltron, 407 00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:13,839 which is the safe way for you to lose weight and keep it off, 408 00:32:14,119 --> 00:32:15,839 and also by prevagent, keeping your brain healthy.
