Thank you Jake, Jay Kirshner with Doug Steven t G. I am yes,
and so we have good news for those of you who keep buying lottery
tickets. This is a good way for you to do it. Move out
of your house, live in the backseat of your car, and join this
California woman who overcame this problem of being homeless now is a dental a MOLDI
yeah, I guess you would call five millions multi millionaire, right, more
than one million? Yep? Her name is Lucia Force. She had no
housing back couple of years ago. She was trying to overcome the challenges of
all the things we've all been through the last few years. But Miss fourths
puts all that behind her now because she was a lucky scratcher ticket winner.
And I feel like scratchers are underrated. Really yeah, it seems like a
lot of people win a good amount on scratchers. Have you no, Like
I said, they're underrated? I forget to play those. Yeah, yeah,
you buy the big ones, right, I do too? When I
buy one, just give me one of those random numbers. What do they
call it a quick pick? Yep? Well, this lady bought one ticket
and one ticket only, and it won. She went to a Walmart in
Contracosta County had an oil change for her car because she needed to have the
car run the right way, seeing as you never any else. She had
no other possessions, so she got the ticket. She was sitting outside,
scratched it, and then she thought, as she was looking at it,
she want a free ticket. But then she looked at it again and it's
five mill So this is the end. By the way, the ticket was
called twenty twenty three. How about that given the fact that she was homeless
a few years ago. Kind of a random thing. Anyway, She's gonna
buy a house and she'll invest the rest of it, hopefully where homes because
she didn't have a job. I didn't get that out of putting the pieces
together here usually people that don't have a job don't have any money if you
have a job, although there are some people who have jobs that are still
homes or multiple jobs and they just still can't afford to pay for housing.
Yea, she had a car, so she had enough income where she could
get gas. Yeah, exactly around But yeah, yeah, yeah, good
for her. That's great. And now when it comes to scratchers, do
they have the same amount of tax is taken out as you know, that's
a good question. I don't know the answer to that, but I'm sure
some very improvisational improvin Is that a word improvented? Yeah, it is a
word. Somebody who is a quick thinker will look that up and let us
know. Either on social media Facebook and Instagram it's ad good Day radio show,
and on Twitter it's good Day on air. And then of course there's
always eighty five five nine nine nine dug that works as well. The idea
that when you get into the money department, you know there are people like
she seems reasonable from at least what we can read in the lines between the
lines. But there are a lot of people who win the money, and
it's for some of blessing, it for others, it's a curse. So
when you are thinking about the headed in the wrong direction, I guess we've
all had those moments though, right, And are we smart enough to make
a change the realization that, for example, was Mother's Day yesterday? What
did you do from Mother's Day? Jay? What kind of point did you
Jusky? Over in Sandusky? They call it the Ohiowens call it in the
ohioans are Ohiolands, and you you go. I remember singers in the choir
when I was in Heidelberg there were sopranos from Toledo, Ohio. That's Ohiahi,
All right, go to Sandusky. So anyway, this um mom business.
I was talking to my daughter last night, who was a great mom,
who was over with Sophie, who's the mom of my other grandson.
And so you think about what does it take to be a mother? There's
no training. It's like getting married. There's no training for getting married,
no training, but being a mother really you just have to kind of wing
it. Hopefully you've been around in an environment that was good for you and
you had good values and understood good health and that sort of thing, and
that maybe you know, you think about what the responsibility is of being a
mother. Wow, it's I think it's it's different. I wouldn't say it's
more important than being a father. But without the mother you can't have a
child. Well, without the father you can't either, right, Yeah,
So I just think it's I'm happy that my children are in a great position,
great place. I'm thankful for that. And so with that, folks,
let's see what can we find about. Here's something as I'm nosing around
and always looking at things about children and things, well, to follow what
we were talking about, here's something very strange. We go to New Jersey
for a couple of items. A missing school bus full of children was parked
in a parking lot. The driver stopped and got out because this person had
a medical emergency. So this was late last week. The bus didn't get
to school. Okay, there's your first clue. And so the bus driver
was an eighty year old man who was disoriented. He experienced this whatever was
going on with him, Now, how many children? I guess I wouldn't
put this down. I'm at my age. We had we're gonna have a
school bus strike in my community last Monday, and the mayor said, you
want to drive a bus. I said, sure, if I have to,
I will be done that. Right exactly, I've been there and then
I've done that, but didn't have to get that far. But what happened
it was scary, It's sure for the children. Well yes, parents too.
Yeah, a medical emergency and radioed in to try to say something or
try to radio and to say something was wrong, but ended up having enough
wherewithal to get into a parking lot, but then had a minor accident with
a flap at truck. There were some officers already on this scene that saw
what happened and the driver, the bus driver was still trying to maneuver the
bus, but the officers were able to get onto the bus, get it
put into park, stopped, and everything handle what was going on with the
driver. But this is the second story within what a couple weeks of a
bus driver experiencing a medical emergency, there was the one child who noticed the
bus driver was having an issue that by that bus driver did radio and that
something was wrong and he needed to pull over, and the student was able
to. I mean the bus driver passed out while the bus was still going
at a normal speed, so the child was able to get the bus pulled
over, stop and everything. Told his fellow students, somebody called nine on
one, So what's going on that there's these emergencies that keep you know.
I'm going to add a little color to this conversation I had. I told
the mayor said to me, can I drive a bus so if I need
to? And I said, yeah, I'll be happy to help if I
have to. But one of the things that's an issue here in the strike
that was proposed not only for this community where I am, but three or
four other communities. Drivers are ready to go on strike because the children on
the buses are so unruly, They are so ill mannered, they are so
out of control that the drivers don't feel that it's safe. Why these kids
are running around in the bus without any supervision? What do parents teach?
When I went to school on a school bus, I wrote a school bus
every day, and frankly on buses that belonged to my second family, because
their family started doing the buses and framing him back before there were buses,
when they were just barges, and the kids needed to go to school from
a distance, so they hook up the horse team and they'd draw the team
to the various places around town. They had a slit in the wintertime and
a wagon in the good weather to bring children to the one room schoolhouse.
Now that's pretty impractical and not much value today. Well, it grew into
they had the buses, and I knew about school busing. And when they
were retired, they asked me, because their sun didn't want to do it,
if I wanted to do it, and I said, sure, I'll
take a shot. I've been around in a long time, so I learned
a lot about it in the fourteen thirteen fourteen years that I did it,
and one of them was to understand that it is extraordinarily unsafe to drive,
and the kids didn't seem to have them. Once in a while though,
the kid who was smoking in the bus, or there'd be some unruly child
in the bus, driver to stop and say, okay, you walk to
school the rest of the way. You think you could get away with that
today, Oh, absolutely not No. But that was the way they fixed
the problem, and it worked. Guess what it worked. It was also
a lot safer for children to walk. Yeah, maybe have been yeah,
quite a long time ago. Yeah, But I think the point here that
I'm making is an overlooked part of the problem or these sorts of problems.
And in school it's the same way because there's no discipline. I know that
they're constant medical emergencies. No, I'm not talking about medical emergency. I'm
talking about the way why teachers don't want to We don't have good teachers in
some circumstances. We don't have good school bus drivers. They don't we don't
have enough of them. We're seventeen drivers short in my community. They're paying
them thirty five dollars an hour, and they still don't want to put up
with a nuisance, the foolishness that goes on the bus. So what is
it about having children that age or you know, from elementary school into high
school that these children feel entitled enough to be able to make the kind of
trouble that they do on the bus. Fist fights all the time. They're
always taking knives away from some of these high school kids. It's what are
we What is there that I'm missing here about it? Is it liberalism?
Is it the fact that there's no more discipline required. When there was discipline
in school, we all probably were disciplined for any number of reasons, but
now it's looked upon as being something that we ought to be able to do.
So in terms of absent parents too, whether or not they're absent in
the fact of pure neglect, or they are unable to be around because they're
working so many jobs to support their family, because they themselves are underpaid too.
Well, there's a lot of it. But that's one of the reasons
that there are these That you got an eighty year old guide driving the bus.
Not again that I have a problem with an eighty year old driving a
bus, because I think there ought to be eighty year old pilots if you're
in physical condition that How would you like it if you get into a plane
and you looked at the looked into the cockpit and you saw a guy who
obviously was not a spring chicken. How would you feel about a lot of
private jets or piloted by people that fit that description, Though certainly lots of
food for thought. Guess what, boys and girls, Mercury is out of
retrograde. That means you can sign the deal, you can make the deal,
you can move ahead, and so that's a good thing. One of
the things going on in the sort of celebrity gossip department that is followed by
social media folks from from here to there and everywhere. Taylor Swift can't even
does everybody know when she takes a shower and washes her hair. It seems
to me that somebody's watching Taylor Swift at every moment, and so there is
a problem in that, or at least there seemed to be on social media.
Here, I'm looking at a viral hip of her second night and Philadelphia.
She's thirty three years old. Now, my god, I remember when
she was like, what seventeen been that? She's been around that long?
Wow, he's zoie. Anyway, she was looking at she pointed to something
going on off stage and people in the audience who were wondering what's going on,
and then apparently she said something like stop stop. Yes, yes,
she was performing Bad Blood and noticed that there was a situation in the audience
pretty close to the stage and it was security. There were some girls who
were having fun. They weren't causing a ruckust or anything. They were just
jumping around and dancing as most people who are in the pit, even with
seats at a Taylor Swift concert, would do. And the security guard just
seemed to, I don't know, started to get a little physical with them,
and Taylor stopped it and the security guard was the one who ended up
being escorted out. Wow, that's say something. So what would be the
conditions Have you ever been to a Taylor Swift concert? Have you? And
so what was the demeanor of the audience when you were there? Were they
just excited because like her loud control loud. It's loud. It's a lot
of squeals because there's people of every age. You have a lot of younger
children who scream at the top of their lungs, you have older adults and
everything screaming the music, just screaming, screaming swinging in the music, but
also just screaming in general. Was an old Els concerts and half fun,
not something where a ruckus is caused. If I went to an old Elvis
concert or the Beatles in the sixties, there'd be lots of screaming. The
girls would be screaming, the guys that, yeah, where you can't even
hear them singing really well, you couldn't then, And Yeah, I wonder
whether that was the same circumstance here with Taylor Swift as she she gets at
everybody that excited that he Staylor swift right, I'm coming down now. I
will not give up me here forever, ever and ever and ever, fighting
truth decay. All across the country and around the world. You hear the
program good Day Show dot com and on any number of hundreds of radio stations
that have in many instances been here for decades listening to me and the various
folks that have been on the ear with me. Most gratified to have Jay
with me. The award winning the Gracis are next Tuesday in Los Angeles,
and I will be there. Jay will be there. Maybe I should win
Jay first, because she's really the winner of a clear award. We won
one last year, first time this program. Maybe I should have done this
earlier, right first time the program, other than winning the longevity contest for
being around longer than any other radio program AM that's syndicated. Now we have
these winners in the form of the ladies. So maybe as you just go
away and let the ladies run the program. Huh never, no, Jaiki,
you are our leader, yes, yea, I am. I don't
think the tachular leader anyway. I was interesting speaking of leadership that maim I
never am not doing. Thank thank you her too. She has decided that
she's not going to do any more Jeopardies while the Writer's Guild of America is
on strike. So she says, I'm and I get there. There are
a lot of actors, a lot of people involved in the business who have
just said, nope, we're not going to cross the picket lines. The
Hollywood writers are on strike, and so they've been on strike four in almost
two weeks. I think now right, yes, yeah, they walked off
the job May second, and Jeopardy only has about a week left of filming
for this season. So it's not like she's leaving them high and dry or
anything like that. Ken Jennings will just fill in the what does that say
about him? Jeopardy? Well, I think it's also different situations in the
sense Miambiolic doesn't only do Jeopardy. She also is a working actor that deals
a lot and works a lot with writers. They are her colleagues, and
I think that to an extent, she feels like she maybe owes them or
not owes them, but she stands with them. And I think that we
will see this from a lot of people who are actors specifically, rather than
anybody who like Ken Jennings isn't He's not an actor. He was a game
show contestant and very intelligent, high writing, and then became host of Jeopardy
not a very good Okay, yeah it's okay, but he's not out like
by any stretch of whereas I think am miambiolic, myam is really sets an
interesting tone to the program itself. Anyway, So the two sides apparently is
still far apart on the strike because there are a lot of things that are
being asked for. A lot of the nighttime shows have had the stars themselves
pay the writers that people on some of the daytime shows have also done the
same thing so they could keep everything going. There's a question. I'm getting
a kick out of this because I'm a big fan of The Blacklist. Of
all the shows that I watch, I like Law and Order, I like
the FBIS, I like the Chicago shows, but I used to like them
more than I do now. And then there's a few other shows like The
Blacklist and The Blue Bloods that are just well written. But of all the
shows, there is not one that I can remember there has been any better
written than The Blacklist and the stories that they've come up with and the twists
and turns and the lots, and they keep promoting, they keep saying it's
the end, but they're not doing They haven't they haven't set a date.
There are some people who say, because the writers strike, that they won't
end it until next fall. And so the people who are there is a
there was a a gauge done of people who follow shows, you know,
who are passionate about a radio show or a television show or something, you
know, the news channels, and so apparently the number one, the most
loyal following on television is for The Blacklist, and it's because the Spader,
for one, and he always when he does public, he's on the Tonight
Show a lot, and so he's always talking about how loyal the fans are
and how they've kept this show going for ten years. But the writing is
fabulous. So if they didn't, if the writers want on strike before they
finished the last plot line, then there isn't gonna be an end. And
we kind of knew that this was going to happen. A lot of the
productions knew this was going to happen. And so they started trying to get
as much filmed. Yeah, finish up as much as they could. And
that also is helpful in the sense of if you work over time, you
get time and a half, so you get whatever your hourly wage is,
yeah, plus fifty percent each hour, So you're making even more money to
help out for when you do go on strike and you're not getting any of
those funds. So that was helpful. But we saw this with the previous
writer strike in the early aughts, where some shows didn't bounce back, they
were never able to come back. Yes, the writers strike. Yeah,
well, I think there's that as you've noticed the I think I've explained this
before on the air. How the television ratings work. There are three months
a year, February and November and May. So the end of the month
of May, the last Thursday, is the last day of ratings. And
normally the television programs that are seasonal, that is that they start in the
fall and they go to the spring, will end up that last week.
But as Jay just pointed out, you're noticing a lot of series finales this
week and last week because they knew this was going to happen, so they
wrapped them up early and then the stuff that's replacing them, or all these
reality shows that don't really require writers per se. I mean, they have
some writing, but they're not they're not you know, they're not scripted,
and that's really is. Jay also pointed out really the reason that be Alec
and these others are staying away because they're they're just supportive of those who write
for situational comedies or for dramas of that kind of stuff. So at any
rate, you know, they've been it's kind of like tailing These shows have
been tailing off. Here. There was a good show on CBS that I
used to watch on Sunday Night. Last night was the finale of a show
called East East New York, which was only off for one season. I
was surprised to get canceled, but because it was a good show, but
it was on against It used to be that CBS had magnum PI, but
because they had a falling out over production costs, the CBS folks I think
made a bit of a mistake, as it is demonstrated by the fact that
NBC put the show on Sunday night at nine o'clock Eastern, just before the
Blacklist and so that show, Magnum kind of did away with the show they
had on CBS. So what has it turn about his fair play or whatever
it is. But it's too bad because that show any of you who have
watched him, it was well. The people in it, Jimmy Smits was
in, with a lot of younger actors that were good, and a couple
of other season Dad. It was just it was a good show. So
I'm sorry to see that go. Speaking of the writers' strike and shows,
the Tony Awards, we're supposed to be aired on June eleventh, but it
looks like they're kind of in limbo now if there was the Writers Guild asked
for a waiver to the to writer so they could have writers that would put
the show together, and the Writers Guild said nope, So what are they
gonna do? Yes, they want negotiations to kick back up, and then
it's happening, so they are Why why would they budge the ground? It's
about yeah, man, as you're gonna stand your ground, you stand your
ground, and that's what the journey will happen in some way. They just
will. They'll they'll happen. They just won't be televised. Ah, well,
so it won't be like the big old award or anything like that.
And again they even may just say, you know what, scrap it,
just send everybody their award. Well. Fortunately, your award show next week
doesn't require writers, so that'll be we don't have to worry about that.
But it'll be it'll be fun to see a lot of the celebrities. All
women from television or radio are the ones who win these awards, so that'll
be fun. Here's a woman who went public. A This is a lady
who is a is a news anchor. Name is Lisa Guerrero. Have you
seen her story? This is a This is an ongoing thing with women on
television doing news and that sort of thing. As they get older, they
have less ability, it seems because most of the television stations and networks are
run by men. So she has gone public. She said that she wanted
to be public. Her name, by the way, Guerrero means warrior,
and so she was having a hard time. She's she actually was an l
cheerleader for a while. She's been a sportscast. You must know who she
is, yes, yeah, well, and she was in the news recently
too. She was a sideline reporter for Monday Night Football as well, and
yeah, talked about sexism and everything happening. But then also it said that
she was live on camera one time she was pregnant and she suffered a miscarriage
and kept on going because she had a job to bro right, Yeah,
exactly. So now she's been she it was a reporter of a Monday Night
football. She talks about how the cat calls in the locker rooms took place,
having her ass grabbed, being open humiliated, Yeah, right, for
the size of her chast. Yeah. Yeah, she said that when she
gets started doing this a while back, they called it slut shaming. It
was a normal part of what she had to put up with in order for
her to be taken seriously. And they didn't take her seriously at first because
she had been a bikini model. Well yes, and that's what a lot
of women in the workplace used to deal with and they had to tolerate it,
and some unfortunately still do where they deal with this kind of atmosphere and
environment and the second they say something then they become the problem. Right.
Yeah, So apparently she's been in what is FHM magazine? I don't know
what that is. Is that a sports magazine? H I think it's similar
to maxim but I could Oh, is it totally wrong. She's fifty nine
years old and she has she's very, very good looking woman. But she
says, as she talked about aging on camera, I'm here to tell you
the hair is real, the boobs are not, which I thought was the
highlight of the interview. So there it is respect for somebody who's good or
what they do, no matter what they're sex. I'm Greg I'm sixty eight
years old, grow up in Cleveland, major in business administration. I do
motivational speaking in addition to substitute teaching. Part of the reasons for my motivational

I'm exciting news from Twitter. On our handle on Twitter, by the way,
is good Day on Air. Elon Musk has announced that an unknown I
have never heard of this woman before, but I suppose people who are inside
know who Linda Yacarino is. He's very excited because she's the new CEO of
Twitter. Now, normally not this kind of stuff would not make a general
reference on a general interest talk program, But because there's so much uhah about
Elon Musk and his billions and what they're being used for, he's decided to
share this, so I share it with you. She was the chairman of
Global Advertising at NBC, So okay, I guess that he's telling us something
by bringing an advertising management person in We're going to focus on advertising and making
money on Twitter. That's really the way I would read this as far as
a business is concerned. He spent what forty meaning how much money did he
spend to buy Twitter? About forty four million? Yes, And then he
put out a tweet and I want to say it was de summer sometime maybe
about hey, should I step down a CEO? What do you think?
I'm going to let the people talk and or vote have a choice, And
the majority of Twitter users voted in the poll and said yeah, step down.
So he was like, okay, fine, as soon as I find
somebody worthy enough to take this role or no, he said something like somebody
stupid enough to take this role. I think that those were his wording,
and then he did finally, So he's stepping down. And she seems like
a very brilliant woman. Yeah, she worked with Comcast and we see Universal
was part of different acquisitions. So if Twitter is in the game of truly
making money, which seems they are, considering how much they are charging users
for this and that, and to even have Twitter be functionable, functional,
functionable, I dicrash. She's quite Yes, I'm saying this, and I'm
not saying it because it's prejudicial as just fact. She started her career at
NBC as a page or an intern, I think, if I'm not mistaken,
I remember about it, and so she just stayed there and moved up
the ranks quickly. So this is somebody who's in her I'm gonna guess early
forties, mid forties. Maybe if she was an NBC for eleven years and
she started there as a college intern, you know what is Yeah, if
she's even forty, so she must be a whiz at sales and understanding how
the sales game works, and that is a specialty. That is a talent.
There are a lot of people who are in the sales business getting in
terms of advertisement. Listen, the number one, the number one job career
in the world is being a salesman. Think about it without salesman. Pretty
much, salesman are involved in everything. Look around you. There's a salesman
for the computer, but there's also a salesman for the computer parts, and
there's a salesman for the lightbulb, and there's a salesman for the paper,
and there's a salesman for the tires that go on your car, and a
salesman for the spark plug that's in your car, and there's a salesman for
the seat, there's a salesman the tire was made, the material for which
he's made, and yeah, it's all all. It's amazing. So understanding
sales is a very important strategic sign. I think Elon Musk obviously understands that
he's kind of a salesman himself, although he's because he's such a character.
I'm not sure that a lot of people take him as seriously ecentric for sure.
Yeah. I also think with Linda Yacarino having worked her way up,
a lot of people who start off on the lowest level possible, pretty much
as a page, and then work their way and the page program is nothing
to joke around about. That is still very significant. But you work your
way up, you remember that, you recall that, so you know every
level of the corporation. Yep. So it's great business time for Caldron.

Here's Jeremy wants to know if not cleaning a bathroom can cause a leak.
Huh, not getting the bathroom causes you this stink? I found this
amusing. He says that he had water leaking from a shower. It's a
year old house, by the way, and the landlord is telling him the
ground deteriorated because he did not clean the bathroom and therefore he must pay for
the damage. You mustn't hope it's possible. There you go another underestimate the
ability of a landlord to try to weasel out of a basic repair maintenance responsibility.
It's called yes, yeah, exactly. No, Jeremy, not cleaning
a bathroom is not going to cause a leak. And if the ground fell
out, then that's a repair that the landlord one year old house, that
the graub falls out. I want to know how the rest of the house
is fairing it. I know the ground falls out of the year we Wow,
I'd seriously consider not renewing that least, because this is not this is
not beginning well for you, No, not at all all. Right,
let's see here we are. You know, I'm involved in this development,
and so we spend time every week trying to focus on kitchens and whether he
used Thermidor or a wolf for sub zero. You know, I'm learning a
lot about these sorts of things, right, and so I wonder maybe we
should have you as a consultant so you can tell us what the most the
many different is what it costs. What's the best for the money, because
those brands are expensive, and so you know, there's much a marketing question
though. I mean, you know, it's what you're I don't know what
your target customer is, but it's kind of what scale expensive. Yeah,
well then you know then you are going to be looking at those lines that
you mentioned, right, Yeah, yeah, I know I thought, And
we also were looking at kitchen cabinets and stuff and the I know, you
always are writing and there are always our podcasts about what to do, and
it's all about replacement. But what do you put in a house? You
know, do you have the ones that are made to put in or do
you build them in. And I'm sure those circumstances and probably others exist when
you're you know, building house and putting it together, choosing what you want
for amenities. You know, for the most part, if it's if it's
new construction, there's really no need for custom fit cabinets because everything's modular today,
right. I mean, you can buy a cabinets that's eighteen inches,
twenty four inches, thirty six inches, thirty inches. You know, they
have cabinets that are stocked that fit every configuration of traditional kitchen, and of
course you have filler pieces, so you know they made what are they well
made? Oh? Sure? Yeah? Absolutely? Yeah. You know,
you can buy kitchen cabinets for a little bit of money and are a whole
lot of money. You know. I remodeled an apartment in a house that
we rent, and you know, it had a very whole old kitchen in
it. So I tore the whole thing out and I put it in a
new kitchen. But I use stock kitchen cabinets, and I gotta tell you
that I installed the entire kitchen for about oh maybe four thousand bucks all in.
Yeah, I mean, so you know, you could do that if
you want. And it's it's standing up well, it's been in service for
a year down and not wearing or falling apart in any way, shape or
form. So what's the difference between that and spending thirty thousand bucks? About
twenty seven thousand is the best? All right? Ding ding ding ding ding
ding catching All right, let me ask you something about that. Friends of
mine are redoing their kitchen, their bathrooms with an eye to renting the house
out, that is, to making it an AIRB and B. I guess
I've never really thought about this. This is a wonderful, well built older
home. Old. I'm talking about an old classic New England house that's probably
three hundred almost three hundred years old. But they said they've looked done the
research and that people want to spend money to stay in a place like this
for the experience because there aren't there any old homes around anymore when you're traveling.
Let's go stay in an old house. What do you think of that?
Yeah, you listen, it's like any house if you're gonna stay,
if you're gonna model a house like that and it's gonna be used in a
commercial way like that, you want to opt for more durable fixtures and faucets
and make sure that all the valves are working. And then I've had a
league you could turn it off and all that sort of thing. You know,
there's really not much difference between that and remodeling at the traditional house.
It's just that you want to have an eye towards low maintenance. For sure,
it easy to clean. All right, let's see what we have here
