We're right on it. Friday. I said that Friday, nineteenth of May,
Friday kind of an amazing thing when it seemed like a few seconds ago
saying Monday, are saying last Friday. Difference between last Friday and today and
next Friday will be that. Well, we're closer to the Alliance for Women
in Media Foundation with the upcoming forty eighth anniversary Gracie Awards. And why is
that important to you? Well, if you listen to the radio or watch
TV, you're going to have an experience with women who are important in both
radio and television. And as it happens, one of them is among us.
Winning a Gracie. Will be at the Bend. Next Tuesday Night will
be our own Jay Kirshner getting up on the stage taking about taking the award
and running to the nearest store screaming, I don't want to have dinner.
So how do you really feel about it? To Okay, but I am
going to say, anyone else who is the parent of a toddler, if
you have an opportunity to get some uninterrupted sleep, yeah, you are going
to take it. And then, of course, my poor daisy girl,
she had massive surgery. I just picked her up yesterday and she just wanted
to be snuggled all night. And while I adored that, I also felt
so bad for her. M Yeah, Daisy is the family dog in the
Kursoner household. Nice. Yeah, we have both of us have Daisy,
have daisies. Yes, it's a popular name. Yeah, apparently it is.
Yeah. So anyway, this Tuesday Evening feature is a special performance by
Sofia Carson and Diane Warren. Presenters include Maria Schreiber. I don't know who
Camilla Luddington is. You know who she is. Yeah, she's an actor.
She is known for Gray's Anatomy right now, she said other things.
She played Kate Middleton in a I don't know if it was a Lifetime movie
a homework movie. It was some made for a TV movie on the beginning
of Kate and William, but I think it came out just before they got
married. She played of Lifetime the Lifetime Achievement Award, which all of these
will no matter what the event is, whether it's the Tony's, whether it's
the Emmys, whether it's the Graziest Golden Globes, whatever, they always have
a Lifetime Achievement Award. And the person being honored in that department this year
by the Gracie's is Marlo Thomas. Pretty much everybody knows who she is,
actress, etcetera, etcetera. Married to Phil Donna Hue. But probably best
known, or maybe the most important role she has played is she's kind of
the mother, if you will, of Saint Jude's, the children's Research Hospital
which her father, Danny Thomas founded sho what nineteen late nineteen fifties, I
think somewhere in that vicinity. So save the date, even though Jay won't
be on the air, will I'll be there and Jennifer will be there,
and you'll be there when I'll tell you the story all right there that that
will be the highlight of the week next week for us anyway. Grandma and
Grandpa, Grandma, grandson, grandma and the family. Well here's a family
that kind of was estranged, and so particularly the grandmother and the grandson,
they got their their act together apparently. And so Joey Ryan who's ninety three,
and her grandson Brad, who have a lot of followers on Instagram as
it turns out, have made up and they have made a trip. They
have completed a seven year journey to visit every single national park in America.
Wow. The National Park of American Samoa in the South Pacific is where they
went this past week, the sixty third and final US National Park. This
is kind of a good reminder of how many parks there are, because I
don't know that I ever knew there were four or five that are well known,
and then the rest of them are there, So sixty three of them.
They sort of went to the finish line in American Samoa. And so
this is a goal. How many of you have goals that you're passionate about,
So give it some intention, because intention is a very important thing.
I say to yourself, I intend to do this, make the plans.
Grandma has taught him and the rest of the world that you're never too old
to show up and have an adventure, yes, and be with each other.
And it was one of those things where it wasn't even a situation between
the grandmother and the grandson of why they were estrange. It was just a
really ugly divorce yea with his parents and the grandmother the husband was her son,
and of course all she tried to do a support her son. Brad's
mom too, and yeah, yeah, just one of those things that he
was basically kind of kept from her, the grandson from the grandmother. But
no, the estrangement, the family issues are really never between the two of
that. But it's so beautiful that they were able to get back together and
I have this amazing adventure and Grandma Troy at ninety three years young, get
it, ma'am help there. Yeah, there's a great lesson in all of
this. Frankly, you're never too old to forgive, You're never too old
to put the pieces together again. He all those relationships, it is not
when you leave this life, you don't want to leave it with the doors
half open or half closed. Right. You look at all the photographs,
they comments and stuff from this trip claimed a mountain, and I'm pretty sure
that when you think of this, this trip that took seven it was a
seven year journey, I'm sure the COVID pandemic probably put a damper on that
because they probably had to take time off. Yeah, exactly. All right,
let's talk about well, not much. We'll talk a little bit about
George Santos. Kind of a waste of time. But the Republicans have been
challenged. If you will buy some blunt messaging from other Republicans. For example,
a representative, Jasmine Crockett, who's from Texas, has been talking to
other Republicans this week and said, quote, if you care about crime,
get rid of George Santos. I thought she was a republic but I guess
he's a Democrat anyway. So she was elected to represent parts of Dallas where
you are, James, James Collins at the controls in our studio on the
main studio in Dallas. This is something that's all over conversationally interesting because most
people think that Texas is all Republican. Then it's not. There are lots
of different areas. We one of the good things. Even though people assume
this, that and the other thing. It's not a good idea to assume
anything, no matter what the circumstances, because the old expression when you assume
something, that makes an ass out of you and me. So anyway,
the speech where she was talking about what was going on crime wise in the
country circled around to George Santos and what a criminal he is and how he's
being investigated by the FBI and the fact that he's been indicted on thirteen counts
felony, but the Republicans aren't doing anything, which I find interesting because many
Republicans were critical. Now because there has been a formal move to get rid
of him, the Republicans are standing in line saying no, you can't get
him. It gives the Republicans a pretty bad luck. Well, it just
seems like it goes along the lines of we don't care who's in there as
long as it's our party. And I don't know any Republicans, I mean
any political party seems to have that mentality. Yep. So anyway, there
are lots of things that have been going back and forth. This week.
The communications director that he had Sandos had has resigned her post, and yeah
she sure did. Yeah, yeah. She is a prominent Republican advisor work
for a number of Republican the senators and congressmen that have been from that area.
She directed her message by saying, unfortunately, you never took one point
of professional advice that I gave you. This is something that the colleagues that
you have, the people of New York that elected you, and most importantly
me, I feel we've got to tell people who you are, what you're
all about. So listen, this kind of we all have laughed about this,
but really it's not funny. And the other besides not being funny,
but the fact that people were dumb enough because some of this came out,
but nobody really the news media, you hold them responsible to a point because
it's kind of their job to run through You would think they certainly do it
with enough individuals. You know, this person burped when they were thirteens,
that don't vote for him, that kind of stuff. So here's this guy
making fraudulent statements everywhere and in official material as well. He certified all kinds
of things. We're big lies. Money things he did. Yeah, we
all have. We've read all this stuff, We've heard all this stuff.
So be interesting to see how News Nation, for example, takes this,
because they are pretty good, pretty even handed about examine who they already have
anyway. Is he Jewish? Is he Catholic? As he Protestant? No
matter, it depends on who he's talking to, right, you meet with
the Jewish group, I'm Jewish. And also in one hand, why does
it matter? But what we do about him is he as a liar?
Yep, big fat liar. George Santos boo boo, that's not too mature.
But listen, what the heck, here's something that's good as you're maturing.
Balance seven. This is something I really like talking about this because I'm
getting back feed. I'm getting feedback from folks who are responded to this commercial

First, to dig around in the celebrity department of Jay find out what social
media has to say, if that's the correct what's in print. It doesn't
have to say it because there's no audio with it. But there is a
lot of focus on Priscilla Presley and the ruling that came out this week that
she gets a lot of the piece of the action, if you will,
because she's responsible for the success pretty much of all of the events at Graceland
and Elvis's heritage and the money that's being made. So there is something else
though that you'll find very interesting. She says Elvis was the love of her
life. They met when she was fourteen and he was what nineteen or something
like that. He'd just gone into the service. She was the daughter of
some diplomat. It was stationed in France, Jourmany, wherever Elvis was stationed.
So they got together, they got married, they had a daughter,
Lisa Marie, and then he went kind of off the reservation. The drugs
did that to him. He had lots of excursions, but there always was
and apparently they always will be a love that the two of them shared that
was very unique and actually, even though Elvis wasn't perfect, it's kind of
a neat reality. I don't think she married again, did she did,
Priscilla Mary after? Yes, she had one other she had a sign of
the child, yeah, yes, yeah, well, and it's when you
think about it. Priscilla and Elvis were married from nineteen sixty seven and then
split in nineteen seventy two, and their relationship was so strong that we still
think of Elvis and Priscilla. Yeah, they were an iconic couple that really
stood the test of time even in their divorce because she was still a partner
of his in the business sense. She helped make him what the highest grossing,
the highest earning to cease celebrities. She's the reason Graceland really exists in
the way that it does right now. Yeah, she married again, named
Marco Garibaldi, but she called Elvis the love of her life and to that
point. Now that her daughter, their daughter is dead and buried, Priscilla
this week said that she's made arrangements with what is left of the family.
Her wish was and apparently, excuse me, it was for everybody in the
family that she be buried there when she dies, and she says, I'm
not planning a granting anywhere very quickly, but when the time comes, I
want to be laid to rest next to the love of my life and my
daughter, and so that is going to be yeah, and her grandson.
So that's going to happen anyway. This is something that is kind of when
you think about it, it's unique. Anywhere have you ever been to Graceland?
I'm sure you have been, not known I haven't you. Oh,
I've been there, and it's very It's it's the start of the thing.
A couple of startling these the size of the house and how it is inside,
and then when you go walk around in the back to see where everybody's
buried, it really is. It's it's it's like spell binding to see all
the graves right there. So she's going to join them when it's her time.
I'm Greg I'm sixty eight years old. I grew up in Cleveland,
Ohio, major in business administration. I do motivational speaking in addition to substitute

Facinelli was my partner on the air, she was the ultimate New Yorker,
and it was talking in New York and all the other things that having to
come out of the mouths of babies from n York City is where my daughter
used to call it when she would mix all the words up you York,
I want to go to an York, dad, And so that's the that's
that's where actually gonna have a little fun with a family in a couple of
weeks. And I'm in New York for quite a long time, and so
I'm going to go to New York twice in two weeks. One will be
the Talker's Convention that's held on the second of June. Can you believe that's
two weeks from today? That is so difficult to believe. Yeah. And
then next week after that go down to Chase Jasper around New York, actually
in Brooklyn. That'll be a fun thing along the waterway there. Well,
they're going to see Sophie Brennan's wife has some clients in New York they want
to go see and they want to go to some museums. And I was
thinking about how vast, with some of the conversation we're having about the National
parks and what treasures those are, we also have in America some fabulous museums,
all kinds of museums. And this week the International Council of Museums held
a meeting called the crusade for museums the international museum community debating the theme museums
and education. The strategy for museum accessibility is something that's important, and I
guess that comes with, you know, the thinking about how hard it is.
Sometimes I just think about getting up the steps the museum in New York,
right, Have you ever been there? No? Not? They one?
Yeah, Well, anyway, I think it's all part of what it's
culture. But then it's more than that, it's ideas. It's channeling things
that do I like all of the museums. No, I think some of
them are boring, as you know what. But then there are other things.
Oh yeah, I don't think really boring. But you go to a
lot of the science museums. That's what I that's those are the museums that
I'm most interested in, the space museum, science museums and natural history museum.
I like the art museums, the modern arts, and if it's a
museum, I love it. One of the things that I learned by going
to a historical and excuse me, excuse me, James and historical museum where
some things that are common American thoughts that are not true events, stories about
people, for example, George Washington never chopped down a cherry tree. Did
you know that? He never the old business about it? Please tell me
you both know the story about yes, yeah, about how never lied or
whatever, and that was all that was a big lie. No, it
didn't happen. Thomas Edison did not invent the lightbulb. He was a participant.
He threw his life, had over a thousand patents to his name,
and he worked on the lightbulb. He was the main mover. But the
person who ought to be credited with him for doing the for coming up with
what work the formula that actually worked was Humphrey Davy. He was the one
that provided And the first light bulb was actually an electric street if you didn't
know that. And then they found named James Bowman Lindsay who was involved in
that as well, sealing a glass bulb and then getting it to work.
It was called an incandescent. That was the old before the LEDs. They
were around forever and ever and ever. Marie Antoinette did not say let them
eat cake, which is something. These funny things that people come up with,
it become, you know, rumors, and then they become they become
fact. And they aren't. Really. William Tell did not shoot an apple
off of his son's head. All those stories about William Tell. You know
those stories, right, didn't you learn those when you were Yeah? Right
now? William And the William Tell Overture, which was written in eighteen o
four, it was actually done from a French opera. It didn't have really
anything to do with William Tell. And Paul Revere didn't yell at British,
you're coming, the British are coming. He said something else. It was
basically the same thing. But when we're so you know the poem the midnight
ride of Paul Revere and on one of my landed tool by sea and I
on the opposite shore will be that sort of that that memorialized the event.
But he did, and he did warn a lot of households of the battle
and the soldiers being coming. Had the British are coming, the British are
coming, but they he didn't really say it like that. It was a
different sort of thing in a profane way. It was not. It was
kind of the effing yes. That word was around back then. So I'm
feeling it's that way in a lot of movies are quotes that the most popular
quotes people say all the time weren't even the actual quote that was said.
No, not at all, Emmanuel No, I'm sorry. Elijah Muhammad making
history is he accepts of a diploma from Oklahoma City Community College this week.
Family says he came. He became the youngest black student to graduate with a
degree in computer science and cybersecurity. He enrolled at Oklahoma City Community College in
August to twenty twenty. Made history as the youngest black college student. Let's
see here, he said quote. I didn't really understand the full impact of
all of it until my dad fully explained it and was Okay, you're really
doing this. You're the youngest person to ever do this. He has four
diplomas from the school. Four. His sister says, he's the smartest person
I know fifteen years old graduating from college. I like them apples. He's
in a graduate degree right now at Ohio State, but graduating from undergrad put
yourself in that position. Good for him. All right, Let's talk about
Diane Feinstein, who seems to be kind of fumbling and mumbling her message,
mostly because she has a problem with her brain literally and figuratively she suffered brain
inflammation from the shingles that she's been dealing with, and you wish you well,
you think, Okay, this is tough. Encephalitis. Isn't that what
it's That's what it's called. I think, isn't it something like that,
some kind of a inflammation. I think it's called encephalitis. So she had
tied in February, she was told she had shingles, so she stepped away
from the Senate and it was recovering, and then a lot of her colleague
said, well, you don't know where you're eighty nine, why don't you
just resign and the governor of California will appoint somebody who will be just like
you, except not old. And so she said, no, I don't
think So she stayed there and has now said she'll retire the end of her
current term, which isn't until January of twenty twenty five, and she'll be
what ninety two nine, yeah, ninety two then, so I just you
know, we're talking about Priscilla. I'm making no judgment here because I think
Agim is lousy, but I think being sick like that and not being able
to participate does kind of get in the way of getting things done. But
to go back to Priscilla Presley for a minute and the deal about being buried
next to Elvis and her daughter and the rest of the family. Elvis died
forty six years ago. Think about that he was dead. He died when
he was forty two, so he's been dead longer than he was alive.
And as you pointed out, one of the amazing realities is that he and
the empire that's been created basically by Priscilla. He made a lot of money
when he was alive, but he also spent a lot of money, and
so there wasn't much. I think we were eight min eight ten million bucks
in the estate when he died in nineteen seventy seven, But now the estate
is worth well over a billion dollars. Think about that and the guy's dead.
Yes, yeah, it really is pretty amazing. Seven inmates have been
hospitalized in Washington emergency response incident resulted in seven inmates going to a local hospital.
Twenty three emergency response units went this is something when I say Washington talking
about Washington State, not Washington, DC. And one wonders how did they
get Fenton al They're in jail for God's sakes. Yeah, how did they
get a whole exposure? What is going on right this? The jail,
the prison system, penal system in this country is like way whacked. If
you it was that easy for these guys to get it inside, and then
why do you want to take it in the first place. Well, well,
and that's why fentanyl is so scary. I think Fentanyl's what I'm thinking
of. That's why it's so scary. Where we have seen accidental overdoses where
somebody didn't injustice, somebody didn't take it. They touched it. Because you
can see through your s it was, Yes, it was I know they
touched it. Like I think there was a toddler, a little girl at
a rental vacation home, rental situation that apparently the previous people had a party,
they didn't clean it well enough and there was stuff on the countertop and
she touched it. Yep, not good. The Disney folks once again kicking
Decidus in the button. This guy has a death wish, I think,
although here he is he's talking about, Oh yeah, we're gonna run wed.
I love the way these policians we are going to run for president?
Really, who's running with you more like who's running against you? So with
his I know he doesn't see it this way, and who knows, maybe
the rest of us are all wrong. But when you go to war with
Disney in a state where Disney is is as important as it is, is
he really thisstied to all of these initiatives that he's associated with. You were
telling me off the air Jay a little bit ago. The information that you
had was about what's going this new gay thing and how much further it goes.
Whether it's don't say gay is not if that's not really what it's what
it's about. I mean, it's not about that verbiage, but yet it
is about that philosophy. So now Disney announcing yesterday they are canceling completely plans
to relocate thousands of its employees from California to Florida. They were going to
put in a new division one of the Disney Parks, Experiences and product I
guess the guy that actually runs the parks said that there are no longer going
to build a new campus in Orlando. Done finished, he said, quote
Given the considerable changes that occurred since the announcement of this project last year,
the idea is now dead d E A D dead. And of course it's
because of all of the focus that has come to Disney, because desandis and
the business about what Yeah, I know this is something I would never get
into on either side were it to be me. You know, whatever DeSantis
thinks he's gaining, He does he really think this way? Do you think
desandis actually Oh? Yes, I do. I think he's behind everything he
says, yes, yeah, Okay. Well, in the Disney the decision
to move the California based imagineering staff, a lot of them apparently didn't want
to go. They didn't want to have to relocate to Florida. They wanted
to stay in California. So I'm sure some people are happy about the situation.
But still, well, it's cheaper to run a business at least,
yeah, in California than it is in than it is in Its cheaper to
run in Florida than it is in California. So I just think that all
he's doing is giving Trump a hand, a leg up, if you will,
certainly in that state. So it's great business time for Calidron. I
would think the phones would be ringing off the hook and people will be ordering
nauseum. That's right. You know, it'll be twenty five years this April,
and we've been helping customers lose weight safely and effectively for twenty five years.

Thanks to Elizabeth Miller here one of the great Calatron consultants at toplos dot com.
Jug Stephen here with my friend Nick Miles. Our autoexpert dot com is
his website. You can go there to find out whatever you need to know,
whether you've got a car, a motorcycle. Yeah, I didn't see
anything about boats, though, I would think that you would have a section
on boats. Oh comes, no, patient. Occasionally we do boats,
usually when a big boat show comes up, like Fort Lauderdale or Miami.
But boats, boats are something that honestly, you have to have a little
more money than a cart own. So no, you can buy a decent
boat for twenty or thirty grand. Come on, well, yeah, but
you know the big barges, big the big yacht. I think eighty million
of foot or something ridiculous. Yeah, we don't have any too many cars
that caused that much, don't. All right, So what you're in Hawaii?
What's going on over there? What are you surfacing? As I was
going to say surfing, but surface you're you're checking out something because you travel
all over the world to report, report on the latest from car manufacturers,
developments, etc. So what's going on in Hawaii? Well, you can
be the first to know. The Good Day program can be the first to
know. Doug that Toyota this morning have revealed the brand new Tacoma. After
twenty years of a Tacoma that hasn't really changed that much, this morning they
have revealed a brand new Toyota Tacoma to the world, and let me tell
you, they will continue to dominate across the world with this pretty amazing truck.
And you know, here in Hawaii it has been the best selling vehicle
since since two thousand and one. And the new one, well it looks
pretty amazing. I don't have much I'm gonna be right right up front with
you. I don't have much use for Toyota because they've made it hard to
get AM radios their system, the screens, you can barely if you're lucky,
you can find an AM radio. The tune in that they have is
very prejudicial, and a lot of the Toyotas now, or at least they
were saying they were going to stop putting AM radios into Toyota's Now they can't
because the government's going to pass a law that requires AM radios to stay in
cars. But yeah, I know they're popular. I actually I don't think
on the farm, Frankly, Toyotas are that big Fords are the most popular
truck on the farm. Pickup trucks from the one fifty up to the five
fifty or six fifty, even the seven fifty. I see more of those
on farms than anything else. I see a number of Chevies and Dodge ram.
I think it's probably actually number two on the farm. But you won't.
I think you would not find real farmers. And I say this trying
to be as respectful as possible. Real farmers don't have Toyotas. So well,
there's there's a very interesting thing that A couple of things for you.
First of all, I turned on the Toyota Tacoma yesterday and the heller and
behold up on the screen came AM radio. So you'll enjoy a right I
ranted a Toyota in Los Angeles a couple of weeks ago. I mean,
damn, I could find the AM radio, so I have to be more
careful about it. But yeah, rate so it would come up on the
screen. You're like that. The second thing is it's not all electric.
Um. In fact, they have three different engine choices in it, and
there are two hybrids, but they're they're not electric, so there's still an
all gas choice and there's two hybrid choices, which you know, I'm a
fan of hybrid because it utilizes the electric, but you don't have to plug
it in everywhere, you know. I'll tell you I was in a Ford.
Speaking of Fords, one of my friends is three Ford dealerships, And
so I was driving one of the newer Fords that have a generator in it.
And this thing it gets about eighty miles to a gal and and it
is. It's quite a good truck, it really is. It's really you
can tell they put a lot of thought into it. It's very comfortable.
I don't want to, you know, use it for the farm because I
don't want to get it dirty, right right. Well, here's the other
thing about about them now, is they're doing these generators in the back of
all of them. Yeah. And the Fords in the gas one it does
four hundred watts, and the Hybrids it does twenty four hundred watts. Yeah,
so that's pretty cool. And there quest for the world. Yeah,
what's that You can power your house to small house? Yeah yeah, yeah.
Right. In the rest of the world, in America, we tend
to use these vehicles as our personal vehicles as well, so the Tacoma is
very sort of personalized. But in the rest of the world, we only
use them for agriculture. So they called hiluxes. So maybe that's why I
use them on the farm, but they're very personable, very plush, So
I guess I'm talking about American farms. I'm sure they use them all over
the place. Matter of fact, in most movies that you see with the
bad guys, the Middle Eastern bad guys casing the good guys that are always
into comas. So maybe it's that's what it is, all right, Nick
Miles a good guy. Our autoexpert dot com consult that as you're looking around
for info on your car, no matter what the question, the answer is there
