was yesterday, but I feel like we ought to give Dad's a little more
attention. Maybe that's because I am Maybe it's very convenient because I am a
dad. A note according to my children, which is kind of a good
feeling. Is there a more important role that a man can play in terms
of this life? And my question is answered? I ask the questions normally,
it's not a good idea to answer your own question. My mother always
said to me, don't ask a question or answer a question with another question,
So I won't answer with another question. I will tell you that I
find being your father the most important role, and kind of it always has
been. I've had a lot of important roles, great roles, interesting roles,
fun roles, compelling roles in my life, but being a father is
on the top there. I'm sure. Well it's the top of the heap
as far as I'm concerned. Those two children who are now adults with their
own children have had. It's interesting because we always talk about having influence on
our children. I think my children have influenced me. They'll tell you that
I've influenced them much more my mother, my mother, their mother, and
I influenced them more than anything else, even though they've had a lot of
great and positive influences and some negative ones do in their lives. But they
hang their hat on their relationship because the mother's gone. So they hang their
hat on that relationship, printing relationship on me, and so I am both
of them as you're can imagine, we're calling yesterday, and of course part
of the conversation is having their children there as well, because that's that's just
the extension. And so Megan made a big deal out of why I didn't
get my Father's Day card from her. She always sends these really creative Really,
she goes out of her way, and that's how little things like that
is how you know what your children think. She goes way out of her
way. I always to find some clever message that you'll either create on her
own. But she's still a great believer in cards. Whereas my son,
I think when he was a little boy, he used to make cards,
but I don't think my father, well that's not true. My son has
sent me some cards over the years, depending on what it was. But
is that the card that matters, Is that the call that matters? Or
is it just being that matters? I asked that of fathers who are living
and breathing examples of perhaps rich really strong, compelling connections to the roots of
your life, the roots of life because you will haven't got children without a
father. At least you need that component that comes from the dad. And
if you're really good at it, you keep yourselves in a position where you
really you're making the day something that is of service to your children. And
an interesting example of that, I thought was this story that we came across
from Florida, Jay Jay Kirshner, by the way, Dug stephan on the
day after Father's Day's June nineteenth, and juneteenth is also something else that is
in a focus today. So I get to that, but I just kind
of wanted to wrap up the stories that just grabbed me. And so this
is from Dustin, Florida on the Panhandle. This Florida family adopting six children.
Six children. They are all brothers and sisters, between the ages of
three and eleven, who are living foster homes. Before these two folks entered
the picture, Dustin and Daniel Johnson where the people who have in a manner
speaking they described it, he's instantly falling in love with the children. But
the moment they saw them and heard the story. Now, after having gone
through the matching process, the adoption process, they have their first Father's Day.
Their story began six years ago when the two of them agreed to pursue
adoption. Couples saw a need within their community. This Dustin, if you
don't know, is on that as I said, the Panhandle, not that
far from Tampa Bay. Really, Dustin said, we knew we wanted a
sibling group because they're hard at a place we're starting from scratch, so we're
now open to have that experience. They told the adoption specialists that they were
willing to adopt as many as six children. The adoption specialist was like,
Okay, well, how serious are you about that sixth number? Because there
are six siblings, right, They have a suburban, so they can fit
them in the back of the suburban. Okay, yeah, yeah, and
siblings don't often get to stay together during adoption, the adoption process. Not
everybody is open or even has the available resources to adopt siblings together, but
today they did and they were able to keep all six siblings together. It's
so beautiful. Yeah, it's a great story, great, great story.
So that's one of the things. That's one of the things about Father's Day
that you can carry Father's Day two twenty three with you. Here's something else
that I found interesting in terms of one of the father son relationships that is
most in focus around the world, and that's the relationship between King Charles and
Prince Harry. There is a there's certainly is a there certainly is a distance
between the two of them because of any number of things depending on who you
talk to. But it was kind of sweet because the King shared a throwback
photo with him and the sons, both William and Henry. As Father's Day
started in England. His wish was the fathers everywhere that you have a special
Father's Day, and there was a slideshow of sorts, including images of Charles
with his father, that is Prince Philip who died a couple of years ago,
and his wife, the Queen lets her face Camilla with her father and
the photo of the head Royal with his sons is poigne. Though if you
look at it was taken on August the sixteenth, nineteen ninety seven, that
was two weeks before Princess Diana died. They were on holiday up in Scotland.
The dude to meet up with their mother on August thirty first, the
day she was killed by the paparazzi. I say that because that's what happened.
Yeah, right, yep. So it's been a rocky time. Certainly
Charles and the relationship he had with Camilla, it was one that started it
all, and then after that technically started before he got with Diana. There's
a whole story passed with them. Yeah. Yeah, it's not a great
It's not a great one, that's for sure. And definitely going back to
the original part of the story where the king honored still like both of his
sons. I think people forget even though Prince or Prince Harry, the Duke
of Sussex whenever left the quote unquote the firm tried to pretty much left royal
life. He didn't leave his family. There may be a riff, there
may be some tension, but you could tell that there is still love there.
There there's brotherly love, there's love for his father. Father has love
for signs that still remains. Yep, it sure does. I think about
all the different kinds springing all of this up brings us around to understanding or
thinking about the different types of dads, the different characteristics of fathers. And
I think that most of us hopefully know what our fathers are all about or
have been all about. Did they love sports, my father certainly did.
Did they keep to themselves? Oh? Did they love the fact that they
had the children that they did? How was your father social magnets? Was
he power driven? Was he service minded? I guess that's the question for
you to think about, maybe you did yesterday or dad's central characteristics and how
some dads are workaholics, some dads they just you know, everybody's different men
and women. And so hopefully your dad or radar was working yesterday and you
avoided your father's pet peeves because there are those right things that you can do
together. I remember some of the precious moments that I did share with my
father because we didn't have a lot of things in common, but there were
things that we did. He took me around one Sunday to the places that
were important to him as he was growing up, and that was a big
step for him. I was a teenager at the time, and we had
a conversation about the things that I didn't some of the things I learned about
him, I didn't learn from him, do you know what I mean?
It was just it was his aunt, who was my great aunt, told
us shared a lot with us. My father was no couch potato. I
hope yours isn't either. It's really kind of a neat thing. Also when
your father is helpful to others, as we were just talking about, in
terms of the things that you know make a difference. So if your father
was a workaholic, have you had a hard time beginning a conversation? What
would he like to discuss? You know, maybe you approached him with dad,
do you have a few minutes And if he's busy, he might not
pay attention to at that point in time. But maybe you know, you
want to have your father and maybe this goes for any relationship. Jay,
Undivided attention when you're trying to talk with people about things that matter. Undivided
attention. Yeah, taking atle moments here and there, to really connect,
not have distractions like devices or anything like that. Yeah. All right,
so now at social media time, what is trending on Facebook, Instagram,
Twitter, those places that we love to not like so much. Story about
Quincy Jones, who is one of the most important people in the modern era
as far as music is concerned, all kinds of things he's created and apparently
he had This reminds me of sort of the story that has still gone unrequited
in terms of what happened to Jamie Fox. But now we know what happened
to Quincy Jones who over the weekend was taken to the hospital. Apparently he
just had a bad reaction to some food. Yeah, because when you look
at his medical history though, he had back in the seventies a brain aneurysm
that almost killed him. He had a couple of operations after that. He's
got six steel pins in his head. Yes, apparently he had two brain
aneurysms, another one at an undetermined time and disclosed time. I guess he
had talked about that in his twenty eighteen documentary. So because of his health
issues, of course, you just want to take that abundance of cascare.
Yeah, but it gives you a chance to think about him and what he's
contributed. I would dare say a lot of people don't know younger folks well,
I think because he has been prolific through his life and he's had a
pretty good long life, which, by the way, was very traumatic when
he was young. His mother was a schizophrenic who suffered from all kinds of
things. When he imagined this, he was seven years old. His mother
was taken away in a straight jacket. Think about that. It dealt a
lot with mental health in his life. And you think about his career seven
decades. It spans seven decades. He has I think nearly thirty Grammy Awards.
He had things like the Thriller album. He was very close to Michael
Jackson, produced a lot of the stuff that Michael Jackson got all the credit
for. But he is he really has a fine history. If he will,
and because he's ninety years old, he certainly pay attention. He's had
some other problems, but good to know that he's still around. Quincy Jones
in our focus here on the nineteenth the juneteenth, where would I be without
the women in my life? And that's after the song we had the song
Jennifer Father's day, the men in my little girl's life. Whether you remember
that, your father, I'm sure remembers that. So I would change the
emphasis to the women in my life. And the women in my life have
included for a long time Jennifer Horn, more recently Jay Kirshner, and so
here we are to whoop it up on the Good Day program with a I
have a very piercing question. Why is the fruit on the bottom? I
don't I've never understood that fruit on the bottom of what the yogurt fruit on
the bottom. Why don't they just mix it instead of leaving it to you?
Why don't they just mix the fruit because there is that's mixed, and
some people like to mix with themselves. I guess really, yeah, you
know that for a fact has a degree yogurt. We say that again.
Let me try that on a yogurt oologist. Okay, all right, here's
the thought from John Lewis, one of the one of the big union guys
in the history of our country. You must never ever give up. We
must keep the faith because we are one people. We are brothers, we
are sisters, we are family. We live in the same house. The
American house. Isn't that a wonderful thing. We need to have more of
that. That should be repeated somehow. There should be a flag made.
We all talk about flags and what flags go with the American flag. That
would be a flag that I would like to see flowing the fact that there
is. You know, we have so many different designed homes in our country,
the home for various nationalities who have come here. There are no original
Americans except the Indians, where we call them Indians Native Americans. They're the
only ones who are really native who are Americans. All the rest of us,
those people who want to consider themselves Frank a flag waving American. Okay,
that's good, But your family didn't come You know, you're gonna have
far enough on the family tree, and you're five very few people who originally
were Americans. I was talking about this on the farm yesterday to some people
who were visiting wanted to know more about the farm. The history of the
farm, or the history of the farm, goes back to the settlers of
Framingham who were here in sixteen twenty sixteen twenty one. There were four families
who settled in and the town was originally called It was Danforth Farms. It
wasn't Frame, it was farm and they came from a town in England called
frame Lingham, and that's how it got its name. That the yell out.
And so you tell people the story and they opened their mouths. One
fella said, no, I didn't know that, And yeah, I mean
we all came from someplace else. I guess that would be true of the
Natives originally where they come from. There are a lot of people who say
the Natives came over the Bearing Straits from Russia and have connections to Mongolia,
and that's why the Indians looked the way they look. The Alaskans look a
lot like natives. Right. Think about how over I've asked this question,
Jennifer, who were talking about it before? Why is it? You've heard
me ask this question dozens of times? Why do black people look the way
they do? And white people and people who have yellow skins and eyes and
all that stuff. And there are those who would try to convince you that
they came though because of you know, the influence of the Equator and all
that stuff. I don't buy it would be those people, Yeah, hand
right here, Yeah, I don't buy that at all. No, not
even close so anyway. But the reason this week is we talk about the
holiday that begins the week focusing on the emancipation. I was just thinking about
all of the other people, not just black people, who have been slaves
over the course of the history of mankind. Our biggest, most empowering moments
have come at the hands of people who were slaves. And so you think
one like one minuscule complaint though, yeah you can. I understand, and
I love the meaning behind it, but can we come up with a better
name? Yeah, the name is awful June. I don't terrible because I
don't think it explains what it is and I don't think that it I don't
know. I just feel like it's it's lost on people because yeah, they're
not talking about the spirit of people who were slaves, their quest for freedom.
And it was on this date, eighteen sixty five in Galveston, Texas
when this all began. So yeah, we'll talk about it during the course
of the week. I have said that we should trace the roots in school.
Youngsters should still be in school, and this would be something that would
shape the discussion for perhaps the last week of the school very important. I
think there are lots of different cultural things that have gone on that we can
talk about. Right now, I want to talk about the culture of baseball
and where we are. Do you realize that we're only what three weeks away
from the All Star Game? We're already on Gabana all right. So here's
the story of a bus driver who got arrested over the weekend, charged with
DUI. Listen to this. This guy is driving the pay the Pirates,
the Pittsburgh Pirates, on a bus from Chicago. They played in Chicago and
the next game was in Milwaukee. So the team hires a bus and they
drive the Pirates from Chicago to Milwaukee. However, they didn't get there because
the driver was drunk. The Illinois State Police the driver was traveling away from
officers seeking to escort the bus on its trip up to Milwaukee. Troopers said
they observed more erratic driving and stopped the bus on the side of Interstate ninety
four. The driver was arrested. He showed multiple signs of impairment. I
can't imagine how embarrassing this is for the bus company as much anything else,
and what kind of safety Oh my god, and the driver wasn't even employed
by the pirates. It was a contracted situation. And a bus a charter
a bus. That's yeah, that was in the bus business for thirteen years.
That's a nightmare that you never want to have. Never had somebody on
drugs and um, all right, speaking of baseball, David Freese, I
believe is that you freeze is freeze. He had been inducted into the Saint
Louis Cardinals Hall of Fame, but he said, no, sorry, I
don't want to be in the Saint Louis Cardinal Don't say it like that,
though, No, how did you say it? He said like, wow,
thank you for this opportunity, but I don't think I'm worthy to be
in the Hall of Fame. And he apologized heavily to the fans who voted
him in. And his reason, what's the reason, Well, he had
said that, Um, that time of his life was actually a really dark
time for him. He was battling a lot of depression, some substance abuse
because of the depression, and he just he didn't feel what he was is
the all star hero and all of that. He didn't feel like he was
and he just feels like that's not something that he I guess maybe wants to
return to probably problems up in his life. Yeah, it's a time in
his life that he didn't love. It was very difficult for him, and
to relive it in the sense of going into the Hall of Fame would problem.
It might just be so difficult. But he was so apologetic. He
was very appreciative. There was a lot of gratitude. You could tell in
his declining this. Yeah, well sounds like he thought it true. Frankly,
but there are a lot of us because most of us who would be
said, oh, you want to be at the whole fame and day Yeah
right, yeah, but I mean he and I was puzzled by it too.
That's why I kind of looked into it. And apparently he just thought
that that wasn't his proudest time in life. And so he's still very much
part of the Cardinals, like the alumni, you know, the older stars
to come back to Blue Rock, Bob Gibson, Rogers, Hornsby stand Musual.
Yeah, so it's not like it's about the team. It was more
about his place in life. M hmm. Yeah, Okay, that's good
to know. I there is the Radio Hall of Fame, and I say
this. This doesn't sound good, but I belong there and I'm not because
I'm not a member of the radio club. And I leave it at that.
I say it, and your father has said to me, we were
talking. We've always both of your fathers have talked to me about this.
Isn't interesting that I'm as close as I am to the two of you and
to your father's and then you came into my lives through your father's both of
you did. That's I hadn't really thought about that, but that's how it
happened. Like the babies of the Good Day Show, we were talking right
for actually your products of the Good Day program. Yep, okay. So
here's something not so good from the weekend. Fifteen people died, ten injured
in a mass casualty collision on a highway outside of a Carberry, Manitoba.
Wow, this mess another bus. This is a bus story. And you
wonder sometimes I had, as I said, going back to my days when
I owned a company, we had four hundred school buses. We ran the
charter business between all over New England. We had the express service from Boston
to Worcester, and I oftentimes sending out It was not easy to find people
to do this work much more difficult even now. But the amount of drug
testing that I did then and alcohol awareness and stuff just is for whatever the
reason, especially the long haul drivers they I remember being on a tour when
we were at Heidelberg the music the concert choir traveled around the country and we
hired two greyhound buses to take us around wherever we were going. And I
remember one day, in the middle of the day one of the drivers.
I was sitting the front talking to the drivers, and he was falling asleep,
and he said to me, I want to keep talking to you because,
for whatever the reason, I'm sleepy and I don't want to fall asleep.
You know, it's droning on and on. Imagine think about this all
the over the road bus drivers and truck drivers who go on for eight,
ten, twelve hours at a time, and many times the only time they
would stop is to have a pea breaker or get fuel. Other than that,
the buses carry enough fuel so they can just keep going and just driving
costly. You've ever done that yourself? Have you ever driven long trail roads?
Yeah? Right, boring some of these interstates. I remember driving from
bangor Maine up to the Canadian border. It is the most horrible ride.
It is the longest, straightest It just the trees lining. Everything looks the
same for like two hundred and forty miles, So I understand that whole thing.
So anyway, keep that in your mind as you're driving. 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 teaching. Part
of the reasons 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
role is doing to others you'd have them doing to you. My wife,
Wanda, is a senior flight attendance. He's been flying for over thirty years.
We do laugh by a bit. I think most adults will start realizing
that they don't recall things as quickly, say used to, or they don't
remember things as vividly as they once did. I've been taking priviging for about
three years now. People say to me periodical, Man, you got a

a Kardashian in the focus and you don't stop and go back and say,
Okay, who's this about and what is it about? So Courtney is in
focus because of a new a big announcement that has been made. So if
you're a fan of Courtney Kardashian and you haven't heard the announcement, Okay,
she's pregnant, and the fact that she's married to Travis Barker, who's a
drummer in that group. She held up a sign during her Bow's concert,
and so people on social media use the sign and basically apparently it was a
surprise to her her husband as well. It was not absolutely there. Yeah,
So but that's what a lot of people are saying. Pregnant. A
lot of people are saying that it was stage. Her announcement to Travis was
stage, and all of this stuff. This wasn't her announcement to him.
This was their announcement to the world. This was their pregnancy announcement for like
on public domain kind of in a way. But the sign she held up
this is Travis sim pregnant. That was also a scene taken from a music
video from Blink one eighty two where there was a woman holding up a sign
this is Travis sim pregnant, so it was taken straight from that. She
has a visible baby bump and she's They have been very open about their struggles
in trying to get pregnant, and most people, not everybody, I don't
want to put anyone in the box, but most people who have troubles getting
pregnant, they do not announce their pregnancy until they have entered their second trimester.
What's her problem is she couldn't conceive or his sperms no good or what
I think maybe her age or something. She because they both have children,
they both already have children, and just she was having a lot of troubles
this time around. She wanted every baby with this guy. Yeahabies. She
has seven between the two of them. This will be baby number seven between
their blunted family. She has three with her former partner Scott Dissack, and
then Travis Barker has three. H All right, whoopee. Another Kardashian in
the world. That's what we need, right. They're all worth about one
hundred and eighty two billion dollars, so they need to have more people to
share in their wealth. This is like succession in a manner of speaking,
Right, who's the next Kardashian to be pregnant so they can pass on all
the money that they keep making. They've made billions. The Kardashians among the
richest families in the country, and it's all been built out of nothing like
thin air. Thanks to Ryan Seacrest, they have a you know, he
decided, okay, let's do something with his family story, and so that's
how it began on E Entertainment Works. Oh my god. And he gets
a piece of everything, which is even the smarter thing, the smarter angle
right under the circumstances. So good, all right, welcongratulations to the Kardashians.

here we are. So every month there's we transition from one astrological period
to another. Maria Trilogy joins us to talk about the significance in this case
of us moving out of the month of Gemini into the month of Cancer and
the transition actually occurs with the beginning of summer, or pretty dog one close
to it. So this without getting into the weeds too much, because you
probably heard what I said a few minutes ago. Oftentimes, listening to you,
I get the results of what happens, but I don't always necessarily understands.
Kind of like sausage. You don't want to know how it's made,
just like the way it tastes. So you think that's funny, It is
kind of. Yes, it is, especially aimed at someone like you who's
such a good cook. I will tell you the benefit I have had as
a friend of Maria's for many years, the benefit of some of her great
meals. And not only is she a fabulous astrologer, she's a great cook.
And some of the things that I have enjoyed some of the things that
you've put together all good Italian meals, because yes, you are, of
all the Italians, I know you're the most Italian. Thank you appreciate.
Yeah, I am, I Amalianalian on both sides. Yeah, I know
you are. It's like through so I know. Okay, let's get to
the summer solstice. What's going to happen? Okay, summer summer solstice,
which actually is on Wednesday, June the twenty first, and that's the exact
day that the sun will transition to what we know to be the sign of
cancer. Cancers, the sun really move. Wait a minute, all the
Sun's not moving. It's we move around the sun. Yes, yes,
we move around the sun. That is so true. And we're moving towards
mid year. That's why the Summer Socialist Day is called the longest day of
the year. And then of course things start moving in the other direction.
However, the month of July is always it's it's just to me a celebration
time, you know. This is when the kids are out of school,
the families are gathering, this is when we're really you know, working in
the garden. This is when we're getting together to celebrate, to celebrate,
you know, each other. Cancer is called the mother of the whole zodiac.
So it is all about the mothering, nurturing, and so that's what
we would like to focus on. I mean, there's a lot going on
we know in the world today, and what we do want to do is
make sure we are gathering, we are doing those things that will bring us
the nurturing. How do we ensure ourselves. How do we do that?
How do we get practically speaking into that mode. Well, you get in
the mode by realizing the importance of it first and foremost, and make those
calls and do your little barbecues or wherever. I know jug has a farm
that really gathers people. And whenever I see that on Facebook, that's what
I think about that, this is the time to do that, even with
your whatever animals you have around, Let's get everybody. You know. I
was thinking this morning before coming on the air. There's that song love one
Another right now? Yeah, And I thought, wow, I love that
song and it is so true. And the other thing that is happening is
we can do this on a budget. We have two planets, two important
planets right now. Transiting in the sign of Taurists and Taurists is all about
being practical. How can we do the things we want to do when we're
living in a world where there's inflation and all that. To think about think
about cancer, the mother tourist the practical and bring those two together to think
about it, to focus on to do the research. You know, that's
what a mom does. So if we were to do that, totally and
completely, we would see that we could. We can do it, we
can enjoy, we can gather, we can share whatever love we have.
And one more thing, very quickly, there's a big full moon coming up
in July third, the day before we celebrate the fourth of July. So
make sure all your plans are well prepared as much as you can, because
if fall moon this close to a big celebration time, it's important to understand
what that means, and it means get together with what you need and do
it in a practical way. All right, how dof people find you?
