Father's Day 4 00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:16,800 was yesterday, but I feel like we ought to give Dad's a little more 5 00:00:16,839 --> 00:00:22,359 attention. Maybe that's because I am Maybe it's very convenient because I am a 6 00:00:22,519 --> 00:00:26,239 dad. A note according to my children, which is kind of a good 7 00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:31,239 feeling. Is there a more important role that a man can play in terms 8 00:00:31,239 --> 00:00:36,280 of this life? And my question is answered? I ask the questions normally, 9 00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:39,039 it's not a good idea to answer your own question. My mother always 10 00:00:39,039 --> 00:00:43,000 said to me, don't ask a question or answer a question with another question, 11 00:00:43,439 --> 00:00:47,119 So I won't answer with another question. I will tell you that I 12 00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:51,560 find being your father the most important role, and kind of it always has 13 00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:56,640 been. I've had a lot of important roles, great roles, interesting roles, 14 00:00:56,719 --> 00:01:00,520 fun roles, compelling roles in my life, but being a father is 15 00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:04,799 on the top there. I'm sure. Well it's the top of the heap 16 00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:10,760 as far as I'm concerned. Those two children who are now adults with their 17 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:17,719 own children have had. It's interesting because we always talk about having influence on 18 00:01:17,719 --> 00:01:21,719 our children. I think my children have influenced me. They'll tell you that 19 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:26,920 I've influenced them much more my mother, my mother, their mother, and 20 00:01:26,599 --> 00:01:30,280 I influenced them more than anything else, even though they've had a lot of 21 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:34,280 great and positive influences and some negative ones do in their lives. But they 22 00:01:34,519 --> 00:01:40,519 hang their hat on their relationship because the mother's gone. So they hang their 23 00:01:40,519 --> 00:01:49,599 hat on that relationship, printing relationship on me, and so I am both 24 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:55,319 of them as you're can imagine, we're calling yesterday, and of course part 25 00:01:55,359 --> 00:02:00,760 of the conversation is having their children there as well, because that's that's just 26 00:02:00,799 --> 00:02:05,319 the extension. And so Megan made a big deal out of why I didn't 27 00:02:05,319 --> 00:02:09,800 get my Father's Day card from her. She always sends these really creative Really, 28 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,639 she goes out of her way, and that's how little things like that 29 00:02:13,719 --> 00:02:15,719 is how you know what your children think. She goes way out of her 30 00:02:15,719 --> 00:02:21,159 way. I always to find some clever message that you'll either create on her 31 00:02:21,199 --> 00:02:24,520 own. But she's still a great believer in cards. Whereas my son, 32 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:28,759 I think when he was a little boy, he used to make cards, 33 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:30,960 but I don't think my father, well that's not true. My son has 34 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,280 sent me some cards over the years, depending on what it was. But 35 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,479 is that the card that matters, Is that the call that matters? Or 36 00:02:38,599 --> 00:02:44,919 is it just being that matters? I asked that of fathers who are living 37 00:02:45,039 --> 00:02:53,000 and breathing examples of perhaps rich really strong, compelling connections to the roots of 38 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:59,680 your life, the roots of life because you will haven't got children without a 39 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:04,000 father. At least you need that component that comes from the dad. And 40 00:03:04,039 --> 00:03:09,199 if you're really good at it, you keep yourselves in a position where you 41 00:03:09,439 --> 00:03:16,840 really you're making the day something that is of service to your children. And 42 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:24,319 an interesting example of that, I thought was this story that we came across 43 00:03:24,439 --> 00:03:28,800 from Florida, Jay Jay Kirshner, by the way, Dug stephan on the 44 00:03:28,879 --> 00:03:34,000 day after Father's Day's June nineteenth, and juneteenth is also something else that is 45 00:03:34,719 --> 00:03:37,800 in a focus today. So I get to that, but I just kind 46 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:44,840 of wanted to wrap up the stories that just grabbed me. And so this 47 00:03:44,919 --> 00:03:51,919 is from Dustin, Florida on the Panhandle. This Florida family adopting six children. 48 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,879 Six children. They are all brothers and sisters, between the ages of 49 00:03:57,039 --> 00:04:03,439 three and eleven, who are living foster homes. Before these two folks entered 50 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:13,039 the picture, Dustin and Daniel Johnson where the people who have in a manner 51 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,839 speaking they described it, he's instantly falling in love with the children. But 52 00:04:16,199 --> 00:04:18,959 the moment they saw them and heard the story. Now, after having gone 53 00:04:18,959 --> 00:04:27,000 through the matching process, the adoption process, they have their first Father's Day. 54 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:31,879 Their story began six years ago when the two of them agreed to pursue 55 00:04:31,879 --> 00:04:36,759 adoption. Couples saw a need within their community. This Dustin, if you 56 00:04:36,759 --> 00:04:40,360 don't know, is on that as I said, the Panhandle, not that 57 00:04:40,439 --> 00:04:45,079 far from Tampa Bay. Really, Dustin said, we knew we wanted a 58 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:50,199 sibling group because they're hard at a place we're starting from scratch, so we're 59 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:56,519 now open to have that experience. They told the adoption specialists that they were 60 00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:02,480 willing to adopt as many as six children. The adoption specialist was like, 61 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:08,319 Okay, well, how serious are you about that sixth number? Because there 62 00:05:08,319 --> 00:05:12,319 are six siblings, right, They have a suburban, so they can fit 63 00:05:12,399 --> 00:05:14,839 them in the back of the suburban. Okay, yeah, yeah, and 64 00:05:14,879 --> 00:05:18,759 siblings don't often get to stay together during adoption, the adoption process. Not 65 00:05:18,879 --> 00:05:26,959 everybody is open or even has the available resources to adopt siblings together, but 66 00:05:27,399 --> 00:05:30,040 today they did and they were able to keep all six siblings together. It's 67 00:05:30,079 --> 00:05:33,480 so beautiful. Yeah, it's a great story, great, great story. 68 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:38,360 So that's one of the things. That's one of the things about Father's Day 69 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:43,959 that you can carry Father's Day two twenty three with you. Here's something else 70 00:05:43,959 --> 00:05:49,000 that I found interesting in terms of one of the father son relationships that is 71 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:55,120 most in focus around the world, and that's the relationship between King Charles and 72 00:05:55,240 --> 00:06:02,040 Prince Harry. There is a there's certainly is a there certainly is a distance 73 00:06:02,079 --> 00:06:06,959 between the two of them because of any number of things depending on who you 74 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:13,439 talk to. But it was kind of sweet because the King shared a throwback 75 00:06:13,519 --> 00:06:19,040 photo with him and the sons, both William and Henry. As Father's Day 76 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:25,680 started in England. His wish was the fathers everywhere that you have a special 77 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:30,680 Father's Day, and there was a slideshow of sorts, including images of Charles 78 00:06:31,199 --> 00:06:35,000 with his father, that is Prince Philip who died a couple of years ago, 79 00:06:35,759 --> 00:06:41,800 and his wife, the Queen lets her face Camilla with her father and 80 00:06:41,879 --> 00:06:46,759 the photo of the head Royal with his sons is poigne. Though if you 81 00:06:46,759 --> 00:06:50,519 look at it was taken on August the sixteenth, nineteen ninety seven, that 82 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:58,959 was two weeks before Princess Diana died. They were on holiday up in Scotland. 83 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,560 The dude to meet up with their mother on August thirty first, the 84 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:09,360 day she was killed by the paparazzi. I say that because that's what happened. 85 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:14,279 Yeah, right, yep. So it's been a rocky time. Certainly 86 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:19,519 Charles and the relationship he had with Camilla, it was one that started it 87 00:07:19,639 --> 00:07:25,879 all, and then after that technically started before he got with Diana. There's 88 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:29,959 a whole story passed with them. Yeah. Yeah, it's not a great 89 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:33,360 It's not a great one, that's for sure. And definitely going back to 90 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:39,199 the original part of the story where the king honored still like both of his 91 00:07:39,279 --> 00:07:43,279 sons. I think people forget even though Prince or Prince Harry, the Duke 92 00:07:43,319 --> 00:07:48,160 of Sussex whenever left the quote unquote the firm tried to pretty much left royal 93 00:07:48,199 --> 00:07:51,519 life. He didn't leave his family. There may be a riff, there 94 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:56,720 may be some tension, but you could tell that there is still love there. 95 00:07:56,759 --> 00:08:00,360 There there's brotherly love, there's love for his father. Father has love 96 00:08:00,399 --> 00:08:05,639 for signs that still remains. Yep, it sure does. I think about 97 00:08:05,639 --> 00:08:09,360 all the different kinds springing all of this up brings us around to understanding or 98 00:08:09,399 --> 00:08:16,199 thinking about the different types of dads, the different characteristics of fathers. And 99 00:08:16,279 --> 00:08:20,680 I think that most of us hopefully know what our fathers are all about or 100 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:24,959 have been all about. Did they love sports, my father certainly did. 101 00:08:26,759 --> 00:08:33,279 Did they keep to themselves? Oh? Did they love the fact that they 102 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:39,000 had the children that they did? How was your father social magnets? Was 103 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:45,440 he power driven? Was he service minded? I guess that's the question for 104 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:50,720 you to think about, maybe you did yesterday or dad's central characteristics and how 105 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:56,159 some dads are workaholics, some dads they just you know, everybody's different men 106 00:08:56,279 --> 00:09:03,240 and women. And so hopefully your dad or radar was working yesterday and you 107 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:11,840 avoided your father's pet peeves because there are those right things that you can do 108 00:09:11,279 --> 00:09:15,919 together. I remember some of the precious moments that I did share with my 109 00:09:16,039 --> 00:09:20,200 father because we didn't have a lot of things in common, but there were 110 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:24,600 things that we did. He took me around one Sunday to the places that 111 00:09:24,639 --> 00:09:26,879 were important to him as he was growing up, and that was a big 112 00:09:26,919 --> 00:09:31,039 step for him. I was a teenager at the time, and we had 113 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:35,200 a conversation about the things that I didn't some of the things I learned about 114 00:09:35,279 --> 00:09:39,559 him, I didn't learn from him, do you know what I mean? 115 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:46,559 It was just it was his aunt, who was my great aunt, told 116 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:50,480 us shared a lot with us. My father was no couch potato. I 117 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:56,200 hope yours isn't either. It's really kind of a neat thing. Also when 118 00:09:56,240 --> 00:10:00,279 your father is helpful to others, as we were just talking about, in 119 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:05,960 terms of the things that you know make a difference. So if your father 120 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:11,039 was a workaholic, have you had a hard time beginning a conversation? What 121 00:10:11,159 --> 00:10:16,919 would he like to discuss? You know, maybe you approached him with dad, 122 00:10:16,919 --> 00:10:20,200 do you have a few minutes And if he's busy, he might not 123 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:24,360 pay attention to at that point in time. But maybe you know, you 124 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:28,200 want to have your father and maybe this goes for any relationship. Jay, 125 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:33,799 Undivided attention when you're trying to talk with people about things that matter. Undivided 126 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:37,559 attention. Yeah, taking atle moments here and there, to really connect, 127 00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:41,360 not have distractions like devices or anything like that. Yeah. All right, 128 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:46,200 so now at social media time, what is trending on Facebook, Instagram, 129 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:50,879 Twitter, those places that we love to not like so much. Story about 130 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:54,159 Quincy Jones, who is one of the most important people in the modern era 131 00:10:54,240 --> 00:11:01,159 as far as music is concerned, all kinds of things he's created and apparently 132 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:09,960 he had This reminds me of sort of the story that has still gone unrequited 133 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:15,120 in terms of what happened to Jamie Fox. But now we know what happened 134 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:18,759 to Quincy Jones who over the weekend was taken to the hospital. Apparently he 135 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:22,240 just had a bad reaction to some food. Yeah, because when you look 136 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:28,159 at his medical history though, he had back in the seventies a brain aneurysm 137 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:31,879 that almost killed him. He had a couple of operations after that. He's 138 00:11:31,919 --> 00:11:37,000 got six steel pins in his head. Yes, apparently he had two brain 139 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:41,799 aneurysms, another one at an undetermined time and disclosed time. I guess he 140 00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:46,679 had talked about that in his twenty eighteen documentary. So because of his health 141 00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:50,440 issues, of course, you just want to take that abundance of cascare. 142 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:56,240 Yeah, but it gives you a chance to think about him and what he's 143 00:11:56,360 --> 00:12:00,559 contributed. I would dare say a lot of people don't know younger folks well, 144 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:07,600 I think because he has been prolific through his life and he's had a 145 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:11,559 pretty good long life, which, by the way, was very traumatic when 146 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:16,559 he was young. His mother was a schizophrenic who suffered from all kinds of 147 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:20,919 things. When he imagined this, he was seven years old. His mother 148 00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:24,799 was taken away in a straight jacket. Think about that. It dealt a 149 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:30,000 lot with mental health in his life. And you think about his career seven 150 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:35,279 decades. It spans seven decades. He has I think nearly thirty Grammy Awards. 151 00:12:37,039 --> 00:12:39,639 He had things like the Thriller album. He was very close to Michael 152 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:43,960 Jackson, produced a lot of the stuff that Michael Jackson got all the credit 153 00:12:45,039 --> 00:12:52,480 for. But he is he really has a fine history. If he will, 154 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:56,200 and because he's ninety years old, he certainly pay attention. He's had 155 00:12:56,240 --> 00:13:00,840 some other problems, but good to know that he's still around. Quincy Jones 156 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:09,759 in our focus here on the nineteenth the juneteenth, where would I be without 157 00:13:09,799 --> 00:13:16,039 the women in my life? And that's after the song we had the song 158 00:13:16,399 --> 00:13:22,759 Jennifer Father's day, the men in my little girl's life. Whether you remember 159 00:13:22,799 --> 00:13:28,240 that, your father, I'm sure remembers that. So I would change the 160 00:13:28,399 --> 00:13:33,639 emphasis to the women in my life. And the women in my life have 161 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:39,519 included for a long time Jennifer Horn, more recently Jay Kirshner, and so 162 00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:46,200 here we are to whoop it up on the Good Day program with a I 163 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:50,960 have a very piercing question. Why is the fruit on the bottom? I 164 00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:56,320 don't I've never understood that fruit on the bottom of what the yogurt fruit on 165 00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,879 the bottom. Why don't they just mix it instead of leaving it to you? 166 00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:05,120 Why don't they just mix the fruit because there is that's mixed, and 167 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:09,879 some people like to mix with themselves. I guess really, yeah, you 168 00:14:09,919 --> 00:14:18,120 know that for a fact has a degree yogurt. We say that again. 169 00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:26,440 Let me try that on a yogurt oologist. Okay, all right, here's 170 00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:31,600 the thought from John Lewis, one of the one of the big union guys 171 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:35,639 in the history of our country. You must never ever give up. We 172 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:41,519 must keep the faith because we are one people. We are brothers, we 173 00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:46,039 are sisters, we are family. We live in the same house. The 174 00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:50,080 American house. Isn't that a wonderful thing. We need to have more of 175 00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:52,360 that. That should be repeated somehow. There should be a flag made. 176 00:14:52,399 --> 00:14:56,919 We all talk about flags and what flags go with the American flag. That 177 00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:03,720 would be a flag that I would like to see flowing the fact that there 178 00:15:03,879 --> 00:15:09,720 is. You know, we have so many different designed homes in our country, 179 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:16,159 the home for various nationalities who have come here. There are no original 180 00:15:16,159 --> 00:15:22,960 Americans except the Indians, where we call them Indians Native Americans. They're the 181 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:28,240 only ones who are really native who are Americans. All the rest of us, 182 00:15:28,519 --> 00:15:33,399 those people who want to consider themselves Frank a flag waving American. Okay, 183 00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:39,360 that's good, But your family didn't come You know, you're gonna have 184 00:15:39,519 --> 00:15:43,600 far enough on the family tree, and you're five very few people who originally 185 00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:48,080 were Americans. I was talking about this on the farm yesterday to some people 186 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:52,480 who were visiting wanted to know more about the farm. The history of the 187 00:15:52,519 --> 00:15:54,399 farm, or the history of the farm, goes back to the settlers of 188 00:15:54,440 --> 00:16:00,519 Framingham who were here in sixteen twenty sixteen twenty one. There were four families 189 00:16:00,519 --> 00:16:07,039 who settled in and the town was originally called It was Danforth Farms. It 190 00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:12,240 wasn't Frame, it was farm and they came from a town in England called 191 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:17,440 frame Lingham, and that's how it got its name. That the yell out. 192 00:16:17,759 --> 00:16:21,200 And so you tell people the story and they opened their mouths. One 193 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:25,440 fella said, no, I didn't know that, And yeah, I mean 194 00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:29,240 we all came from someplace else. I guess that would be true of the 195 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:32,720 Natives originally where they come from. There are a lot of people who say 196 00:16:32,759 --> 00:16:40,480 the Natives came over the Bearing Straits from Russia and have connections to Mongolia, 197 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:45,240 and that's why the Indians looked the way they look. The Alaskans look a 198 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:48,799 lot like natives. Right. Think about how over I've asked this question, 199 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:52,399 Jennifer, who were talking about it before? Why is it? You've heard 200 00:16:52,399 --> 00:16:56,399 me ask this question dozens of times? Why do black people look the way 201 00:16:56,440 --> 00:17:00,360 they do? And white people and people who have yellow skins and eyes and 202 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,839 all that stuff. And there are those who would try to convince you that 203 00:17:04,039 --> 00:17:10,440 they came though because of you know, the influence of the Equator and all 204 00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:12,559 that stuff. I don't buy it would be those people, Yeah, hand 205 00:17:12,599 --> 00:17:17,599 right here, Yeah, I don't buy that at all. No, not 206 00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:22,960 even close so anyway. But the reason this week is we talk about the 207 00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:30,720 holiday that begins the week focusing on the emancipation. I was just thinking about 208 00:17:30,759 --> 00:17:33,319 all of the other people, not just black people, who have been slaves 209 00:17:33,839 --> 00:17:41,279 over the course of the history of mankind. Our biggest, most empowering moments 210 00:17:41,279 --> 00:17:45,079 have come at the hands of people who were slaves. And so you think 211 00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:49,920 one like one minuscule complaint though, yeah you can. I understand, and 212 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,680 I love the meaning behind it, but can we come up with a better 213 00:17:53,759 --> 00:17:59,079 name? Yeah, the name is awful June. I don't terrible because I 214 00:17:59,079 --> 00:18:02,759 don't think it explains what it is and I don't think that it I don't 215 00:18:02,759 --> 00:18:07,319 know. I just feel like it's it's lost on people because yeah, they're 216 00:18:07,319 --> 00:18:11,400 not talking about the spirit of people who were slaves, their quest for freedom. 217 00:18:12,559 --> 00:18:17,799 And it was on this date, eighteen sixty five in Galveston, Texas 218 00:18:18,519 --> 00:18:21,799 when this all began. So yeah, we'll talk about it during the course 219 00:18:21,839 --> 00:18:25,880 of the week. I have said that we should trace the roots in school. 220 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:29,279 Youngsters should still be in school, and this would be something that would 221 00:18:29,279 --> 00:18:34,799 shape the discussion for perhaps the last week of the school very important. I 222 00:18:34,839 --> 00:18:40,400 think there are lots of different cultural things that have gone on that we can 223 00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:44,400 talk about. Right now, I want to talk about the culture of baseball 224 00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:48,200 and where we are. Do you realize that we're only what three weeks away 225 00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:55,200 from the All Star Game? We're already on Gabana all right. So here's 226 00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:59,079 the story of a bus driver who got arrested over the weekend, charged with 227 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:03,440 DUI. Listen to this. This guy is driving the pay the Pirates, 228 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:10,440 the Pittsburgh Pirates, on a bus from Chicago. They played in Chicago and 229 00:19:10,519 --> 00:19:15,079 the next game was in Milwaukee. So the team hires a bus and they 230 00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:18,839 drive the Pirates from Chicago to Milwaukee. However, they didn't get there because 231 00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:26,680 the driver was drunk. The Illinois State Police the driver was traveling away from 232 00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:32,000 officers seeking to escort the bus on its trip up to Milwaukee. Troopers said 233 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:37,400 they observed more erratic driving and stopped the bus on the side of Interstate ninety 234 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:44,880 four. The driver was arrested. He showed multiple signs of impairment. I 235 00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:48,880 can't imagine how embarrassing this is for the bus company as much anything else, 236 00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:52,319 and what kind of safety Oh my god, and the driver wasn't even employed 237 00:19:52,319 --> 00:19:59,000 by the pirates. It was a contracted situation. And a bus a charter 238 00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:03,519 a bus. That's yeah, that was in the bus business for thirteen years. 239 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:08,319 That's a nightmare that you never want to have. Never had somebody on 240 00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:15,079 drugs and um, all right, speaking of baseball, David Freese, I 241 00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:21,599 believe is that you freeze is freeze. He had been inducted into the Saint 242 00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:26,519 Louis Cardinals Hall of Fame, but he said, no, sorry, I 243 00:20:26,559 --> 00:20:30,839 don't want to be in the Saint Louis Cardinal Don't say it like that, 244 00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,400 though, No, how did you say it? He said like, wow, 245 00:20:33,559 --> 00:20:37,920 thank you for this opportunity, but I don't think I'm worthy to be 246 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:41,200 in the Hall of Fame. And he apologized heavily to the fans who voted 247 00:20:41,279 --> 00:20:47,960 him in. And his reason, what's the reason, Well, he had 248 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:51,640 said that, Um, that time of his life was actually a really dark 249 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:55,160 time for him. He was battling a lot of depression, some substance abuse 250 00:20:55,240 --> 00:21:00,240 because of the depression, and he just he didn't feel what he was is 251 00:21:00,279 --> 00:21:03,880 the all star hero and all of that. He didn't feel like he was 252 00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:08,759 and he just feels like that's not something that he I guess maybe wants to 253 00:21:08,799 --> 00:21:12,079 return to probably problems up in his life. Yeah, it's a time in 254 00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:17,200 his life that he didn't love. It was very difficult for him, and 255 00:21:17,279 --> 00:21:21,240 to relive it in the sense of going into the Hall of Fame would problem. 256 00:21:21,279 --> 00:21:23,119 It might just be so difficult. But he was so apologetic. He 257 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:26,200 was very appreciative. There was a lot of gratitude. You could tell in 258 00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:33,160 his declining this. Yeah, well sounds like he thought it true. Frankly, 259 00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:34,440 but there are a lot of us because most of us who would be 260 00:21:34,559 --> 00:21:37,039 said, oh, you want to be at the whole fame and day Yeah 261 00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:41,680 right, yeah, but I mean he and I was puzzled by it too. 262 00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:44,200 That's why I kind of looked into it. And apparently he just thought 263 00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:48,559 that that wasn't his proudest time in life. And so he's still very much 264 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:52,480 part of the Cardinals, like the alumni, you know, the older stars 265 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:56,000 to come back to Blue Rock, Bob Gibson, Rogers, Hornsby stand Musual. 266 00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:59,480 Yeah, so it's not like it's about the team. It was more 267 00:21:59,519 --> 00:22:02,720 about his place in life. M hmm. Yeah, Okay, that's good 268 00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:07,440 to know. I there is the Radio Hall of Fame, and I say 269 00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:11,599 this. This doesn't sound good, but I belong there and I'm not because 270 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:15,200 I'm not a member of the radio club. And I leave it at that. 271 00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:18,920 I say it, and your father has said to me, we were 272 00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:22,640 talking. We've always both of your fathers have talked to me about this. 273 00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:26,599 Isn't interesting that I'm as close as I am to the two of you and 274 00:22:26,799 --> 00:22:32,119 to your father's and then you came into my lives through your father's both of 275 00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:34,160 you did. That's I hadn't really thought about that, but that's how it 276 00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:41,759 happened. Like the babies of the Good Day Show, we were talking right 277 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:48,039 for actually your products of the Good Day program. Yep, okay. So 278 00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:52,960 here's something not so good from the weekend. Fifteen people died, ten injured 279 00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:59,680 in a mass casualty collision on a highway outside of a Carberry, Manitoba. 280 00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:04,359 Wow, this mess another bus. This is a bus story. And you 281 00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:07,920 wonder sometimes I had, as I said, going back to my days when 282 00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:11,720 I owned a company, we had four hundred school buses. We ran the 283 00:23:11,799 --> 00:23:18,359 charter business between all over New England. We had the express service from Boston 284 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:23,119 to Worcester, and I oftentimes sending out It was not easy to find people 285 00:23:23,519 --> 00:23:30,319 to do this work much more difficult even now. But the amount of drug 286 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:36,799 testing that I did then and alcohol awareness and stuff just is for whatever the 287 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:44,240 reason, especially the long haul drivers they I remember being on a tour when 288 00:23:44,319 --> 00:23:49,119 we were at Heidelberg the music the concert choir traveled around the country and we 289 00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:55,000 hired two greyhound buses to take us around wherever we were going. And I 290 00:23:55,039 --> 00:23:56,960 remember one day, in the middle of the day one of the drivers. 291 00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:00,400 I was sitting the front talking to the drivers, and he was falling asleep, 292 00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:03,599 and he said to me, I want to keep talking to you because, 293 00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:07,079 for whatever the reason, I'm sleepy and I don't want to fall asleep. 294 00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:11,039 You know, it's droning on and on. Imagine think about this all 295 00:24:11,079 --> 00:24:15,480 the over the road bus drivers and truck drivers who go on for eight, 296 00:24:15,599 --> 00:24:19,880 ten, twelve hours at a time, and many times the only time they 297 00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:23,400 would stop is to have a pea breaker or get fuel. Other than that, 298 00:24:23,519 --> 00:24:30,119 the buses carry enough fuel so they can just keep going and just driving 299 00:24:30,599 --> 00:24:34,519 costly. You've ever done that yourself? Have you ever driven long trail roads? 300 00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:42,039 Yeah? Right, boring some of these interstates. I remember driving from 301 00:24:42,079 --> 00:24:48,359 bangor Maine up to the Canadian border. It is the most horrible ride. 302 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:56,079 It is the longest, straightest It just the trees lining. Everything looks the 303 00:24:56,119 --> 00:25:02,240 same for like two hundred and forty miles, So I understand that whole thing. 304 00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:06,839 So anyway, keep that in your mind as you're driving. I'm Greg 305 00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:10,000 I'm sixty eight years old. I grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, major 306 00:25:10,079 --> 00:25:14,920 in business administration. I do motivational speaking in addition to substitute teaching. Part 307 00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:18,200 of the reasons for my motivational speaking is I kind of feel like I have 308 00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:21,720 a calling or giving back to the younger generation. You know, the golden 309 00:25:21,799 --> 00:25:23,839 role is doing to others you'd have them doing to you. My wife, 310 00:25:23,839 --> 00:25:27,839 Wanda, is a senior flight attendance. He's been flying for over thirty years. 311 00:25:29,319 --> 00:25:33,839 We do laugh by a bit. I think most adults will start realizing 312 00:25:33,839 --> 00:25:36,400 that they don't recall things as quickly, say used to, or they don't 313 00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:41,359 remember things as vividly as they once did. I've been taking priviging for about 314 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:45,319 three years now. People say to me periodical, Man, you got a 315 00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:52,559 memory like an alpha. It's really really helped me tremendously, providing healthier brain, 316 00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:56,400 better life, Greg Freely is a paid testimonialist and real privileging user based 317 00:25:56,400 --> 00:26:00,480 on the clinical study of subgroups of individuals who were cognitive normal or mildly imperative. 318 00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:03,279 This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent 319 00:26:03,319 --> 00:26:11,119 any disease. Some celebrity news trending news. It isn't often that you see 320 00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:15,599 a Kardashian in the focus and you don't stop and go back and say, 321 00:26:15,599 --> 00:26:21,440 Okay, who's this about and what is it about? So Courtney is in 322 00:26:21,519 --> 00:26:27,960 focus because of a new a big announcement that has been made. So if 323 00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:37,000 you're a fan of Courtney Kardashian and you haven't heard the announcement, Okay, 324 00:26:37,079 --> 00:26:44,240 she's pregnant, and the fact that she's married to Travis Barker, who's a 325 00:26:44,319 --> 00:26:48,759 drummer in that group. She held up a sign during her Bow's concert, 326 00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:55,880 and so people on social media use the sign and basically apparently it was a 327 00:26:56,000 --> 00:27:00,160 surprise to her her husband as well. It was not absolutely there. Yeah, 328 00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:03,039 So but that's what a lot of people are saying. Pregnant. A 329 00:27:03,039 --> 00:27:07,519 lot of people are saying that it was stage. Her announcement to Travis was 330 00:27:07,559 --> 00:27:10,279 stage, and all of this stuff. This wasn't her announcement to him. 331 00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:14,440 This was their announcement to the world. This was their pregnancy announcement for like 332 00:27:14,559 --> 00:27:17,839 on public domain kind of in a way. But the sign she held up 333 00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:22,359 this is Travis sim pregnant. That was also a scene taken from a music 334 00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:25,960 video from Blink one eighty two where there was a woman holding up a sign 335 00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:27,880 this is Travis sim pregnant, so it was taken straight from that.

So this without getting into the weeds too much, because you 377 00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:42,359 probably heard what I said a few minutes ago. Oftentimes, listening to you, 378 00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:47,640 I get the results of what happens, but I don't always necessarily understands. 379 00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:49,200 Kind of like sausage. You don't want to know how it's made, 380 00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:55,119 just like the way it tastes. So you think that's funny, It is 381 00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:59,480 kind of. Yes, it is, especially aimed at someone like you who's 382 00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:02,920 such a good cook.

And not only is she a fabulous astrologer, she's a great cook. 385 00:31:10,839 --> 00:31:14,359 And some of the things that I have enjoyed some of the things that 386 00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:18,640 you've put together all good Italian meals, because yes, you are, of 387 00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:23,680 all the Italians, I know you're the most Italian. Thank you appreciate. 388 00:31:26,079 --> 00:31:30,559 Yeah, I am, I Amalianalian on both sides. Yeah, I know 389 00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:34,599 you are. It's like through so I know. Okay, let's get to 390 00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:38,720 the summer solstice. What's going to happen? Okay, summer summer solstice, 391 00:31:38,799 --> 00:31:45,119 which actually is on Wednesday, June the twenty first, and that's the exact 392 00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:49,640 day that the sun will transition to what we know to be the sign of 393 00:31:49,759 --> 00:31:55,000 cancer. Cancers, the sun really move. Wait a minute, all the 394 00:31:55,039 --> 00:31:57,319 Sun's not moving. It's we move around the sun. Yes, yes, 395 00:31:57,599 --> 00:32:05,200 we move around the sun. That is so true. And we're moving towards 396 00:32:05,359 --> 00:32:10,440 mid year. That's why the Summer Socialist Day is called the longest day of 397 00:32:10,599 --> 00:32:15,640 the year. And then of course things start moving in the other direction. 398 00:32:15,799 --> 00:32:24,119 However, the month of July is always it's it's just to me a celebration 399 00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:29,039 time, you know. This is when the kids are out of school, 400 00:32:29,519 --> 00:32:34,880 the families are gathering, this is when we're really you know, working in 401 00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:42,240 the garden. This is when we're getting together to celebrate, to celebrate, 402 00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:49,400 you know, each other. Cancer is called the mother of the whole zodiac. 403 00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:54,000 So it is all about the mothering, nurturing, and so that's what 404 00:32:54,079 --> 00:32:59,400 we would like to focus on. I mean, there's a lot going on 405 00:32:59,559 --> 00:33:02,640 we know in the world today, and what we do want to do is 406 00:33:02,759 --> 00:33:08,880 make sure we are gathering, we are doing those things that will bring us 407 00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:12,920 the nurturing. How do we ensure ourselves. How do we do that? 408 00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:16,599 How do we get practically speaking into that mode. Well, you get in 409 00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:22,960 the mode by realizing the importance of it first and foremost, and make those 410 00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:30,480 calls and do your little barbecues or wherever. I know jug has a farm 411 00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:36,119 that really gathers people. And whenever I see that on Facebook, that's what 412 00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:42,319 I think about that, this is the time to do that, even with 413 00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:47,079 your whatever animals you have around, Let's get everybody. You know. I 414 00:33:47,119 --> 00:33:52,839 was thinking this morning before coming on the air. There's that song love one 415 00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:57,519 Another right now? Yeah, And I thought, wow, I love that 416 00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:01,319 song and it is so true. And the other thing that is happening is 417 00:34:01,359 --> 00:34:07,480 we can do this on a budget. We have two planets, two important 418 00:34:07,519 --> 00:34:13,400 planets right now. Transiting in the sign of Taurists and Taurists is all about 419 00:34:13,519 --> 00:34:19,719 being practical. How can we do the things we want to do when we're 420 00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:23,360 living in a world where there's inflation and all that. To think about think 421 00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:31,239 about cancer, the mother tourist the practical and bring those two together to think 422 00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:36,960 about it, to focus on to do the research. You know, that's 423 00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:40,960 what a mom does. So if we were to do that, totally and 424 00:34:42,119 --> 00:34:45,840 completely, we would see that we could. We can do it, we 425 00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:52,480 can enjoy, we can gather, we can share whatever love we have. 426 00:34:52,199 --> 00:34:58,360 And one more thing, very quickly, there's a big full moon coming up 427 00:34:59,199 --> 00:35:04,840 in July third, the day before we celebrate the fourth of July. So 428 00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:09,320 make sure all your plans are well prepared as much as you can, because 429 00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:15,639 if fall moon this close to a big celebration time, it's important to understand 430 00:35:17,079 --> 00:35:22,239 what that means, and it means get together with what you need and do 431 00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:25,360 it in a practical way.
