Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, it's me Michael. Your morning show can be heard
on great stations across the country like Talk Radio eleven
ninety and Dallas Fort Worth, Freedom one oh four point
seven and Washington, DC and five point fifty KFYI and Phoenix, Arizona.
We'd love to be a part of your morning routine
or take us along on the drive to work, but
as we always say, better late than never.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Enjoy the podcast well two three, starting your morning off right,
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding
because we're in the STUDI this is your morning show
with Michael Dell charm.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
And my name is Lodonna Harvey. I am in from
Michael del Jorno and it's not your morning show without you.
Hit that red talkback. Mike, tell us a few things
because we would love to hear from you.
Speaker 4 (00:49):
Why not.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
I am announcing a new policy today that I will
support a tax credit for family caregivers who take care
of a parent or a loved one.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
That's something that we heard from Donald Trump.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
We're also seeing him working on his cabinet, and his
cabinet choices have been incredibly interesting to me. One of
the things that I have noted about Donald Trump, both
in his personal life, in his business life, and as
a politician. And I air quote that because he's really
not a politician, but he is a master at getting
(01:22):
you to look at the birdie over here while he's
doing something else over there. And I think his cabinet
picks kind of reflect that. I think he has a
real agenda going in and he's thrown a few red
herrings at us, or at least one. I think the
Matt Gates appointment was definitely a red herring because I
(01:46):
think he has something very serious in mind with his cabinet.
Keep in mind, his cabinet serves at his pleasure. His
cabinet is there to roll out his policies as he
sees them, as he wants them, and he doesn't want
any guph from them. He just wants them to do
what it is. And every president is.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
The same way.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
It's not just Donald Trump, it's Joe Biden's, it's every
president before. Every president before has done the same thing.
And it'll be interesting to see after this Map Gates
thing sort of plays out as Gates has withdrawn. Obviously,
(02:28):
if the confirmation process goes well, I think that he
is likely to run into a little trouble in a
few areas, but otherwise I think he's pretty much going
to get what he wants. I think that it's Peter
Hexath is kind of in limbo, and that's because of
(02:49):
a sexual assault allegation made in California. Keeping in mind
that it was an allegation, it was investigated, and there
was no prosecution.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
There was no prosecution.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
Right now, what we have is a he said, she
said on that situation. So Hexath possibly up in the air,
not sure, not sure how up in the air, but
we'll we'll find out in the coming days. Donald Trump
Senate allies racing to defend Telsey Gabbard, a Democrat. I mean,
(03:25):
he's he's not exactly just hewing to a Republican line here.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
Former democrat.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
I should say, that's his pick to leave US intelligence services,
and that could be another one of those that's a
little bit rough in the confirmation process. Between Gabbard and
and Hexath. I think those are the two where senators
might want to pick a fight.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
Outside of that.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Though, I'm not really seeing a lot of controversy. I'm
not seeing anybody that they would say, you know, absolutely
not unless something comes out you know, like a sexual
assault allegation, et cetera that surprises people. And I think
the Hexath story surprised even the Trump people, as I recall,
(04:16):
I remember reading that in a story last.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
Week when we started talking about it.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
So it's it's interesting to me that he is running
the gamut. You know, when I think of of hard
core Republicans, I don't think of Elon Musk, and he's
not a hard core Republican. But what he is is
a believer in what he does and a believer in
making government work for you, which is something that hasn't
(04:43):
happened in a very long time, has it. You know,
we see FEMA rollout after disasters and that, and that
goes pretty well when they've got the proper funding. But
you look at the Department of Education, for instance, and
he's taken aim at the Department of Education. Can do
you truly say that your kids in public school are
getting a better education now than you did.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
I'm gen X.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
I went to school in the seventies and eighties.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
We actually learned stuff.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
What we didn't learn was life stuff that you were you.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
Know, you were expected.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
It was expected that your parents were going to teach
you life that we were going to teach you in schools, math, science, government, civics,
which is government. You know, you were going to learn
the things that you needed to learn to get out
of high school and actually be a productive citizen in
one way or another. Back when I went to school,
(05:43):
you had home economics and it wasn't just cooking. Home
economics was budgeting. Are we teaching kids to budget today
or are we bogged down in things that you you
can learn on your own? You know, I am a
firm believer that history should be taught in a very
(06:06):
unblemished fashion. You know, we had slavery, we had Jim Crow,
we had problems, and we still have problems. America is
not a perfect country, but it's a really good one,
and we strive to be better every time we turn around.
Don't most aren't most of your neighbors that way? That's
(06:27):
why the whole You know, if you're a Democrat, you
can't like a Republican and vice versa.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
Nonsense just blows me away.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
Politics is about the least interesting thing about all of us.
You know, what are your life experiences? What have you
achieved in life? And how did you go about doing it?
I grew up pretty poor. My dad that I take
care of is actually my stepdad, and he was in
my life as a child from age five to age thirteen.
(06:54):
My parents divorced and my mom raised my brother and
I as a as a single parent, And so you know,
we were typical latch key kids. We were expected to
learn in school and then we learned about life everywhere else,
and sometimes the hard way. So the Department of Education
(07:18):
him wanting to dismantle it or at least greatly reduce
the effect that it has on your kids in school.
Is that such a bad thing because so far, I
don't know how much good has been done in schools
making them better. Is college better? No, it's more expensive.
(07:41):
Is your kid's education better? No, it's not, but it
should be. And I don't blame teachers for that. I
blame the Department of Education and bureaucracy for that.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
This is your Morning Show with Michael del Chono.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
This is Bryant from Beaucaire.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
Voted for Joe Biden the first term and I regret
it and it was the embarrassment his term as president,
and then they had to adacity to try to run
him again. That's why they lost our voted for so
the audacity.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
Well, and it's what I said earlier, right that the
race was lost the minute that Joe Biden came into it.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
Hi.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
There, I'm Loadonna Harvey and I am in for Michael
del Giorno today on the air and everywhere on your
iHeartRadio app. It's not your morning show without your voice,
and we appreciate your voice. Eight hundred and six eight
eight nine, five two to two, or hit the talkback
mic on the free iHeartRadio app and you can make
a comment, you can ask a question, you can tell
us whatever it is that is on your mind. So
(08:50):
what are the top stories of the day. FAA staffing shortages. Yeah,
that's always good news, right going into a holidays.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
Whatether we can't do anything about.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
But apparently we can't staff the FAA either. It's going
to try to avoid air traffic slowdowns as long as
the sky's stays safe for travelers. With Thanksgiving week, tomorrow
is expected to be your busiest travel day, almost three
million people hitting the airport.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
And as the old cliche goes, pack your patience.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
Don't you want to smack people when they say that
to you, It's like, look, I am trying to get
from point A to point B here, and I need
you to just move yourself over there to the right.
Don't tell me to pack my patients. But we do
have to try to be nice to each other. It's
the holidays. Just be mellow. The Menendez brothers have a
court hearing scheduled for today in an effort to have
(09:43):
their sentences reduced. Eric and Lyle Menendez serving life sentences
for the nineteen eighty nine.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
Murders of their parents in Beverly Hills.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
And for those of us of a certain generation, I
mean that was one of those first trials that you
remember going, wait minute, what happened. Mark garrigosays the attorney
for the brothers, and he's talking about how they've been feeling.
Speaker 6 (10:06):
The attitude is it's been a roller coaster of emotion.
To borrow a cliche, we've had all kinds of ups
and downs.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
Well, this could be an up. Now.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
There has been a lot of renewed interests in the
case because Netflix released something called a hit true crime
drama series, true crime drama that should make you a
little questioning. It's called Monsters, the Lyle and Eric Menendez Story,
and it features as part of it, the claims by
(10:42):
the brothers that they were the victims of childhood sexual
abuse by their father. They are challenging the validity of
their convictions. They are requesting that their sentences be changed.
And it has the support of one person that could
really do something about it, and that's outgoing LA District
Attorney George Gascon. George Gascon is an interesting guy in
(11:05):
Los Angeles. He's not exactly hard on crime. Now the
brothers are going to be attending today's hearing via video.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
They are for the first time since.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
They were sentenced. I believed they're in the same prison.
They were separated for years and years and years, and
then they were sent to Donovan State Prison down by
San Diego. It's in a place called O Tai Mesa,
and that is also where Sir Han Surhan is if
you're curious. Yeah, I don't know how San Diego ended
(11:36):
up with all those but here we are. Anyway, they
are going to attend that hearing via video. And I
have a friend of my old morning show host from
San Diego who talked about the Eric and Lyle Menendez
case and he said he watched Monsters. The Lyle and
Eric Menendez story, and he said, yeah, there's a lot
(11:57):
in there that's absolute bunk, absolute.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
And you know, we've seen this happen, haven't we were.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
Netflix does a series and suddenly there are questions about
somebody's guilt and we don't know. And you know, but
is Netflix doing a service or are they dramatizing things
to make.
Speaker 4 (12:18):
Them more interesting?
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Go ahead, give us a call eight hundred and six
eight eight, nine to five, two to two, or hit
that talkback mic and you can make a comment on
your morning show, because after.
Speaker 4 (12:29):
All, it is yours, all right? Did you know?
Speaker 3 (12:32):
And I should have probably put this with the Thanksgiving story.
Millions of people as they head home for their Thanksgiving feest,
about three million at the airports tomorrow, but it is
the day before the holiday that's a big deal.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
We get more from pre Tennis.
Speaker 7 (12:47):
The day is known as Drinksgiving, also Blackout Wednesday. It's
a popular day to go out and drink as we
celebrate returning home, reconnecting with friends and maybe avoiding family
a little bit longer. Be lae across the country want
you to know if you do partake, there'll be increased
patrols and DUI checkpoints. Also, the Wednesday before Thanksgiving is
the number five pizza eating occasion of the year, with
(13:09):
sales expected to rise about forty two percent.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
I'm pre Tennis, and let me tell you.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
If I could get my dad to eat pizza for
some reason, he hates pizza and I don't know why,
then I would do I know it's an American after all,
but I can't tell him that it's I would do
pizza the Wednesday before Thanksgiving because nobody wants to cook
the day before Thanksgivings.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
For drink.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
That's all I have, right, It's just that's I could.
I could eat pizza at all times. I love it,
but I can't because my dad doesn't like it. I
mean I could, and I could get him some spaghetti
or something, but I'm just asking for trouble and I
don't need to pick a fight at this point in
our lives. Drinksgiving I don't partake him. I love a
(14:01):
glass of wine. I am not a teetotaler by any
stretch of the imagination, but yeah, any holiday that includes
other people drinking and getting on the road, I want
no part of. I just I stay off the roads
for all of those holidays. There is no reason to
just be out there, even if you are sober and
(14:21):
you're the sober driver. It's the other people that you
got to look out for, and it's very people out there.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
I don't know if you've noticed that recently.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
Meanwhile, you are expected to spend close to a trillion
dollars for this year's holiday season.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
A trillion.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
That's according to the National Retail Foundation, which is predicting
record spending. The holiday shopping season unofficially begins the day
after Thanksgiving. I would call that officially officially begins the
day after Thanksgiving with Black Friday. But I've noticed a
lot of sales already underway. And apparently if you want
a really good sale, you need to go to JC,
Penny Belk or Dillards. Those are the three that are
(15:03):
offering the steepest discounts for you. One trillion dollars. So
apparently that inflation that we've all talked about and all
of the squeezing of our wallets, it's not slowing us
down that much. A trillion dollars.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
Now.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
I don't know if you were a McRib lover, but
if you are, well, yeah, I have bad news. Oh no,
you still have to wait another week to get your
McRib However, you can get the sauce for the first time.
McDonald's is actually selling jugs of McRib sauce. It's a
(15:43):
jug of a whole lot of McRib sauce and it
will cost you twenty dollars twenty and it's available online
beginning today. I have I have had one bite of
one McRib ever in my life, and I got that gummy,
chewy weirdness in my mouth and could not spit it
(16:05):
out fast enough. I was I was the guy in
big rubbing his mouth going oh oh. I could not
get rid of it fast enough. It was the most
awful thing I'd ever eaten.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
I know, blasphemy. We engage in blasphemy. I love it.

(17:49):
thing about it. So families are paying rent two times
when they have kids two times, paying rent twice with
the cost of childcare.
Speaker 4 (17:59):
Tammy Trihey has that story.
Speaker 8 (18:02):
Eligend dot Com took feedback from one thousand.
Speaker 4 (18:05):
That is not the right bite there, I apologize.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
Oh, oh, well, you know what, we have a we
have a we have a situation? Does does does Jeff
have the right sound bite? And it's not Jeff's fault,
by the way, because I'm the one telling him everything
to do. And you know I'm not that bright. I
found the correct one or organized. Actually is the truth.
(18:31):
I'm semi bright. I'm just not terribly organized. So sorry
about that, Jeff. That was my fault.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
Is this organized chaos every single day. Lodonna, you're doing
just fine.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
Excellent, excellent, Welcome to the Welcome to the tail spin.
Speaker 4 (18:45):
All right, Tammy Trio, do we have her? That got her?
Here we go the labor apartments.
Speaker 9 (18:49):
His parents are spending up to fifteen thousand dollars or
more for full day care per child. That works out
to about nine to sixteen percent of their yearly pay
on daycare for each child. Government data shows me more
than thirteen million of the nation sixty three million parents
pay for childcare parents with infants, those living in large counties,
and those using a childcare center over home care, often
(19:09):
paying much more. I'm tammy for HEEO. I feel for you.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
If you are a family, if you're a working parent
of any ilk doesn't matter. I mean, single parents have
it just as rough and without the two incomes.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
Right, you don't have the two incomes.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
So you're footing the whole bill, or at least most
of it, unless you're getting some child support.
Speaker 4 (19:31):
And raising families today.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
Is so extraordinarily expensive because not only are you dealing
with this almost almost the cost of your rent to
take care of your child, you're also probably trying to
save for college, because we know you don't want them
to get down in student loans, right, bogged down in
student loans.
Speaker 4 (19:53):
Nobody needs that nonsense.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
So if you're a working parent and you are dealing
with childcare, I'm curious, how are you swinging this. I
know that a lot of people have moved closer to
family because you know, suddenly grandma's a little bit free,
and she can take the child for the time that
you're at work and they're not in school, and you know,
God forbid if they're not in school yet, and you
(20:18):
have a small child and you're trying to work a
job so that you can put Thanksgiving turkey on the
table this year. It is a rough bit of business.
How are you paying for that? How are you doing it?
How have you managed it? I know a lot of
people also maybe have a coterie of friends. And these friends,
(20:40):
you know, one of them works a day shift, one
of them works a night shift, somebody else works a
different shift, and they kind of take turns watching each
other's kids. I have a single friend in San Diego,
and that's what she and all of her friends did,
was they sort of had a schedule as to who
was working when and could keep an eye on the children.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
And when they got to be teenagers, oh lord, teenagers.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
I mean, you know, how do you keep control of
teenage boys and teenage girls these days?
Speaker 4 (21:08):
I don't know. And if you're a.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
Single parent, it's got to be even harder than it
is if you're a two parent family. And if you're
a two parent family, chances are you're both working. Anyway,
How do you do it? Eight hundred six eight eight
nine five two to two. Hit that microphone symbol and
you can make a comment. You can ask a question.
We're here for any and all. I mean this is
(21:31):
this is uh, this is the wild West out here
on this particular radio ranch, and we have no broken
uh we have no broken horses. We have we're all
hat and some cattle and no saddle.
Speaker 4 (21:45):
It's so it's a free for all.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
All you have to do is just take part by
getting in touch with us at eight hundred and six
eight eight nine, five two to two, or of course
that iHeartRadio app hit that talkback mic. So another story,
and Jeff, I want to make sure that I gave
you time to get to this because you know, if
you're a working family and you're paying rent two times
(22:07):
with the cost of your childcare, and you're trying to
get your kid ready for college, well, there was a
recent survey on career readiness that found that eighty one
percent eighty one percent of workplace managers say new college grads.
Speaker 4 (22:22):
Are not ready for the workplace.
Speaker 8 (22:25):
Scott Survey from Intelligence dot com took feedback from one
thousand managers last month. One third of them said that
new graduates definitely need training on some professional protocols, while
another forty eight percent said they probably do the issues
they cite include not taking constructive criticism well, adhering to
dress codes, the use of cell phones on the job,
(22:47):
and speaking about controversial topics in the workplace. Other issues
were time management and a lack of professional communication skills.
Speaker 4 (22:56):
I'm Scott Carr, So who's whose fault is that?
Speaker 3 (23:02):
I'm really curious as somebody who did not. I did
not raise children, so I have no clue whose fault
it is.
Speaker 4 (23:08):
Now.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
You know my go to is, well, is this the
education system? But some of this it's going to be parenting.
If you're a workplace manager, I'm curious, how do you
bring somebody up to speed that you.
Speaker 4 (23:23):
Know, you know they might be right for the job.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
This might be something that you think this person can do,
but you know that instead of writing out YO you
in an email, they're used to texting the letter you.
They're not great with the soft skills, those social skills.
Those are things that you know, gen X, we were
(23:47):
left unattended to run feral and we learned social skills.
We learned them very quickly because without those social skills,
we were going.
Speaker 4 (23:57):
To get beat up.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
Somebody would take us behind the woodshed and beat us up.
If we did not learn how to diffuse hot situations,
how to have conversations with one another, how to have fun,
and how to dress appropriately. We have to be able
to do those things. And these kids, they just don't know.
(24:22):
And if you're a parent of a new college grad,
what are your thoughts? Why aren't they ready? Because they
have to be ready. They're already behind.
Speaker 4 (24:33):
The eight ball right.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
With college debt that they've racked up. They've got to
get in there and start that career.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
It's your Morning show with Michael del Journo.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
We're on the air and everywhere on your iHeartRadio ad
that is free hit that talk back micro callus at
eight hundred and six eight eight nine five two two.
We would love to talk to you a couple of
stories that sort of, you know, feed into each other.
Are you know the recent survey on career readiness that
found that eighty one percent of workplace managers say new
(25:06):
college grads are not ready for the workplace. They don't
know how to dress, they don't know how to act,
they don't know how to socialize, they're very awkward socially.
And this is you know, I am not one of
those people who's like kids these days, I'm not that
grumpy and I don't have that kind of bandwidth, But
I do worry about them because I think that it
(25:28):
speaks to the epidemic, or really the pandemic of loneliness
that we see out there among younger kids. They don't
date the way that we did in Generation X. I mean,
I think I went on my first date when I
was fifteen. I think I've finally got a boyfriend when
I was seventeen, and then when I was nineteen, I
(25:53):
actually moved in with a guy. That's a mistake, by
the way, gen Z, don't do that. Just piece from
your old anti Lenana. Don't do that to get a
commitment or don't do it. It's just better. It's better
for your health, it's better for your psyche, it's better
for all of that. But you know, we were very
social creatures, and it had to do with being cut
loose on the world by our parents, who believed that
(26:19):
we could take care of ourselves. And we have a
new generation of parents, and I think my generation is
in this group that's kind of lawnmowered things in front
of their kids, and their kids just aren't.
Speaker 4 (26:34):
Ready for adversity. And you have to start.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
You have to start dealing with adversity because you are
going to find it in the workplace. You are going
to find people that you have a tough time getting
along with. You were going not me luckily with Jeff
and Red it's fabulous, but otherwise you are going to
find some places where you butt heads with people, and
(26:57):
you have to learn to do it and do it constructively. Now,
apparently at work there is a manager crash, a manager crash,
dissatisfaction among middle management. What it could become an issue
in twenty twenty five. A digital coaching platform called me
(27:17):
Equilibrium predicts a manager crash in the coming year. Let's
talk to Madeline in Illinois. She is joining us on
the phone the Michael Del Giorno Show. It is your
morning show. Good morning, Madeline, how are you.
Speaker 10 (27:36):
Good morning with Donna. I'm great. I have three kids
seventeen to twenty two. And I will tell you it
to a certain extent, doesn't matter what you're doing as
a parent, because we taught our kids. You steel, you
go to jail. You know, you don't work hard, you
don't get ahead, you don't show up at work on time,
you lose your job. But post COVID, we're living in
(27:59):
a time where you don't show up, you keep your
job because there's not enough people already working at the employers.
You feel well, as long as you steel under a
thousand dollars worth, you're good.
Speaker 3 (28:11):
You're not going to do you be in California.
Speaker 10 (28:18):
We're on Illinois almost as bad. So, you know, it
really kind of doesn't matter what you're doing as a
parent because society is pushing back so hard on that.
And I think we almost made things. You know, I
grew up as a latch key kid, and I think
my generation whose parents turned around and went to work
(28:39):
maybe have made things a little too precious for our kids,
and maybe a little too easy, maybe listen to a
little too many of their opinions. And between that and
social media and the changes in society, it's really become
a problem.
Speaker 4 (29:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (29:01):
I honestly, Madeline, I don't know how your parents handle it,
because it would it would drive me insane. So, first
of all, I suspect that had I ever been a parent,
my kid would not have a cell phone that they
could go on the Internet with, and they certainly wouldn't
have a TikTok account. I mean I would be that weird,
bloodite parent because I don't want you know, I wouldn't
(29:24):
want them influenced by what they're seeing on TikTok and
thinking oh, well, I can just do that. It's like, no,
these are outliers, man, those those TikTok stars and those
social media stars.
Speaker 10 (29:37):
They're outliers, right, but these kids should be working for Apple.
I waited tell my kids were in high school to
get them phones, which you know, of course, but that
made me the worst parent on the planet.
Speaker 4 (29:51):
But even when you put terrible.
Speaker 10 (29:53):
Terrible controls in place, they can get around just about anything.
So right, it is really difficult. A phone is not
just a phone, unfortunately, and you know I don't I
never wanted my young children to have the whole world
at their fingertips, just because I wanted to be able
to reach them when they were at wide skates, you know.
So yeah, yeah, we actually had I get you cool.
Speaker 4 (30:20):
I told a friend of mine. They were like, you
know what, what would you let them have it?
Speaker 3 (30:24):
I said, I'd let them have one of those jitterbugs,
one of those jitter bugs for seniors where they couldn't
go anywhere, but they could.
Speaker 8 (30:32):
Just use it.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
As a phone, I get to maddle an eight hundred
and six eight eight nine five two to two, and
of course everywhere on your iHeartRadio app, you hit that
talkback Mike and you can get right back to us.
Getting ready for life is something that I don't I honestly,
I don't know how you do it. And Madeline just
expressed what I think is a great deal of frustration
(30:56):
in not being able to work around under kids. Now
here's the thing, as gen X, we worked around our parents.
I managed to steal my dad's Johnson at starting at
about age twelve, I was getting around all of the
rules all the time.
Speaker 4 (31:15):
Kids naturally do that.
Speaker 3 (31:17):
They push those boundaries and they test them and if
they're really sneaky like I was, and you don't get caught,
then you have to learn all the hard lessons later.
You have to learn the hard lessons later, which I did.
You know, I got knocked down in my career many
many times before I finally realized that, you know what,
I'm not going to be able to do this all
(31:37):
my way. And once I learned how to do what
it was that I was doing, then I decided to
do it in my way. But that was after, you know,
learning the basics and getting experience, which is something that
you got to do eight hundred and six eight eight
nine five two two. Do your kids want to work?
Do your kids even want to drive? Because so many
(31:58):
kids are completely uninterested in driving. I remember getting my
learner's permit as fast as I could when I turned fifteen.
Speaker 4 (32:10):
I mean I was at the DMV.
Speaker 3 (32:13):
Boom got that learner's permit, and I drove every opportunity
that my parents would let me have.
Speaker 4 (32:19):
At age sixteen, Boom got.
Speaker 3 (32:21):
My driver's license, got a job, and quite frankly, the
time between San Diego and Phoenix has been the longest
period of unemployment in my life. And I say that
as somebody who's filling in for Michael today. But I'm
technically unemployed and it feels weird and not right, and
(32:43):
I don't like it.
Speaker 4 (32:44):
I don't like it at all.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
We're all in this together.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
This is Your Morning Show with Michael Ndheld Joano
Hi, it's me Michael. Your morning show can be heard
on great stations across the country like Talk Radio eleven
ninety and Dallas Fort Worth, Freedom one oh four point
seven and Washington, DC and five point fifty KFYI and Phoenix, Arizona.
We'd love to be a part of your morning routine
or take us along on the drive to work, but
as we always say, better late than never.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Enjoy the podcast well two three, starting your morning off right,
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding
because we're in the STUDI this is your morning show
with Michael Dell charm.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
And my name is Lodonna Harvey. I am in from
Michael del Jorno and it's not your morning show without you.
Hit that red talkback. Mike, tell us a few things
because we would love to hear from you.
Speaker 4 (00:49):
Why not.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
I am announcing a new policy today that I will
support a tax credit for family caregivers who take care
of a parent or a loved one.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
That's something that we heard from Donald Trump.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
We're also seeing him working on his cabinet, and his
cabinet choices have been incredibly interesting to me. One of
the things that I have noted about Donald Trump, both
in his personal life, in his business life, and as
a politician. And I air quote that because he's really
not a politician, but he is a master at getting
(01:22):
you to look at the birdie over here while he's
doing something else over there. And I think his cabinet
picks kind of reflect that. I think he has a
real agenda going in and he's thrown a few red
herrings at us, or at least one. I think the
Matt Gates appointment was definitely a red herring because I
(01:46):
think he has something very serious in mind with his cabinet.
Keep in mind, his cabinet serves at his pleasure. His
cabinet is there to roll out his policies as he
sees them, as he wants them, and he doesn't want
any guph from them. He just wants them to do
what it is. And every president is.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
The same way.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
It's not just Donald Trump, it's Joe Biden's, it's every
president before. Every president before has done the same thing.
And it'll be interesting to see after this Map Gates
thing sort of plays out as Gates has withdrawn. Obviously,
(02:28):
if the confirmation process goes well, I think that he
is likely to run into a little trouble in a
few areas, but otherwise I think he's pretty much going
to get what he wants. I think that it's Peter
Hexath is kind of in limbo, and that's because of
(02:49):
a sexual assault allegation made in California. Keeping in mind
that it was an allegation, it was investigated, and there
was no prosecution.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
There was no prosecution.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
Right now, what we have is a he said, she
said on that situation. So Hexath possibly up in the air,
not sure, not sure how up in the air, but
we'll we'll find out in the coming days. Donald Trump
Senate allies racing to defend Telsey Gabbard, a Democrat. I mean,
(03:25):
he's he's not exactly just hewing to a Republican line here.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
Former democrat.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
I should say, that's his pick to leave US intelligence services,
and that could be another one of those that's a
little bit rough in the confirmation process. Between Gabbard and
and Hexath. I think those are the two where senators
might want to pick a fight.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
Outside of that.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Though, I'm not really seeing a lot of controversy. I'm
not seeing anybody that they would say, you know, absolutely
not unless something comes out you know, like a sexual
assault allegation, et cetera that surprises people. And I think
the Hexath story surprised even the Trump people, as I recall,
(04:16):
I remember reading that in a story last.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
Week when we started talking about it.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
So it's it's interesting to me that he is running
the gamut. You know, when I think of of hard
core Republicans, I don't think of Elon Musk, and he's
not a hard core Republican. But what he is is
a believer in what he does and a believer in
making government work for you, which is something that hasn't
(04:43):
happened in a very long time, has it. You know,
we see FEMA rollout after disasters and that, and that
goes pretty well when they've got the proper funding. But
you look at the Department of Education, for instance, and
he's taken aim at the Department of Education. Can do
you truly say that your kids in public school are
getting a better education now than you did.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
I'm gen X.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
I went to school in the seventies and eighties.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
We actually learned stuff.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
What we didn't learn was life stuff that you were you.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
Know, you were expected.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
It was expected that your parents were going to teach
you life that we were going to teach you in schools, math, science, government, civics,
which is government. You know, you were going to learn
the things that you needed to learn to get out
of high school and actually be a productive citizen in
one way or another. Back when I went to school,
(05:43):
you had home economics and it wasn't just cooking. Home
economics was budgeting. Are we teaching kids to budget today
or are we bogged down in things that you you
can learn on your own? You know, I am a
firm believer that history should be taught in a very
(06:06):
unblemished fashion. You know, we had slavery, we had Jim Crow,
we had problems, and we still have problems. America is
not a perfect country, but it's a really good one,
and we strive to be better every time we turn around.
Don't most aren't most of your neighbors that way? That's
(06:27):
why the whole You know, if you're a Democrat, you
can't like a Republican and vice versa.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
Nonsense just blows me away.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
Politics is about the least interesting thing about all of us.
You know, what are your life experiences? What have you
achieved in life? And how did you go about doing it?
I grew up pretty poor. My dad that I take
care of is actually my stepdad, and he was in
my life as a child from age five to age thirteen.
(06:54):
My parents divorced and my mom raised my brother and
I as a as a single parent, And so you know,
we were typical latch key kids. We were expected to
learn in school and then we learned about life everywhere else,
and sometimes the hard way. So the Department of Education
(07:18):
him wanting to dismantle it or at least greatly reduce
the effect that it has on your kids in school.
Is that such a bad thing because so far, I
don't know how much good has been done in schools
making them better. Is college better? No, it's more expensive.
(07:41):
Is your kid's education better? No, it's not, but it
should be. And I don't blame teachers for that. I
blame the Department of Education and bureaucracy for that.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
This is your Morning Show with Michael del Chono.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
This is Bryant from Beaucaire.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
Voted for Joe Biden the first term and I regret
it and it was the embarrassment his term as president,
and then they had to adacity to try to run
him again. That's why they lost our voted for so
the audacity.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
Well, and it's what I said earlier, right that the
race was lost the minute that Joe Biden came into it.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
Hi.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
There, I'm Loadonna Harvey and I am in for Michael
del Giorno today on the air and everywhere on your
iHeartRadio app. It's not your morning show without your voice,
and we appreciate your voice. Eight hundred and six eight
eight nine, five two to two, or hit the talkback
mic on the free iHeartRadio app and you can make
a comment, you can ask a question, you can tell
us whatever it is that is on your mind. So
(08:50):
what are the top stories of the day. FAA staffing shortages. Yeah,
that's always good news, right going into a holidays.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
Whatether we can't do anything about.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
But apparently we can't staff the FAA either. It's going
to try to avoid air traffic slowdowns as long as
the sky's stays safe for travelers. With Thanksgiving week, tomorrow
is expected to be your busiest travel day, almost three
million people hitting the airport.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
And as the old cliche goes, pack your patience.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
Don't you want to smack people when they say that
to you, It's like, look, I am trying to get
from point A to point B here, and I need
you to just move yourself over there to the right.
Don't tell me to pack my patients. But we do
have to try to be nice to each other. It's
the holidays. Just be mellow. The Menendez brothers have a
court hearing scheduled for today in an effort to have
(09:43):
their sentences reduced. Eric and Lyle Menendez serving life sentences
for the nineteen eighty nine.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
Murders of their parents in Beverly Hills.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
And for those of us of a certain generation, I
mean that was one of those first trials that you
remember going, wait minute, what happened. Mark garrigosays the attorney
for the brothers, and he's talking about how they've been feeling.
Speaker 6 (10:06):
The attitude is it's been a roller coaster of emotion.
To borrow a cliche, we've had all kinds of ups
and downs.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
Well, this could be an up. Now.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
There has been a lot of renewed interests in the
case because Netflix released something called a hit true crime
drama series, true crime drama that should make you a
little questioning. It's called Monsters, the Lyle and Eric Menendez Story,
and it features as part of it, the claims by
(10:42):
the brothers that they were the victims of childhood sexual
abuse by their father. They are challenging the validity of
their convictions. They are requesting that their sentences be changed.
And it has the support of one person that could
really do something about it, and that's outgoing LA District
Attorney George Gascon. George Gascon is an interesting guy in
(11:05):
Los Angeles. He's not exactly hard on crime. Now the
brothers are going to be attending today's hearing via video.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
They are for the first time since.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
They were sentenced. I believed they're in the same prison.
They were separated for years and years and years, and
then they were sent to Donovan State Prison down by
San Diego. It's in a place called O Tai Mesa,
and that is also where Sir Han Surhan is if
you're curious. Yeah, I don't know how San Diego ended
(11:36):
up with all those but here we are. Anyway, they
are going to attend that hearing via video. And I
have a friend of my old morning show host from
San Diego who talked about the Eric and Lyle Menendez
case and he said he watched Monsters. The Lyle and
Eric Menendez story, and he said, yeah, there's a lot
(11:57):
in there that's absolute bunk, absolute.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
And you know, we've seen this happen, haven't we were.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
Netflix does a series and suddenly there are questions about
somebody's guilt and we don't know. And you know, but
is Netflix doing a service or are they dramatizing things
to make.
Speaker 4 (12:18):
Them more interesting?
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Go ahead, give us a call eight hundred and six
eight eight, nine to five, two to two, or hit
that talkback mic and you can make a comment on
your morning show, because after.
Speaker 4 (12:29):
All, it is yours, all right? Did you know?
Speaker 3 (12:32):
And I should have probably put this with the Thanksgiving story.
Millions of people as they head home for their Thanksgiving feest,
about three million at the airports tomorrow, but it is
the day before the holiday that's a big deal.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
We get more from pre Tennis.
Speaker 7 (12:47):
The day is known as Drinksgiving, also Blackout Wednesday. It's
a popular day to go out and drink as we
celebrate returning home, reconnecting with friends and maybe avoiding family
a little bit longer. Be lae across the country want
you to know if you do partake, there'll be increased
patrols and DUI checkpoints. Also, the Wednesday before Thanksgiving is
the number five pizza eating occasion of the year, with
(13:09):
sales expected to rise about forty two percent.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
I'm pre Tennis, and let me tell you.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
If I could get my dad to eat pizza for
some reason, he hates pizza and I don't know why,
then I would do I know it's an American after all,
but I can't tell him that it's I would do
pizza the Wednesday before Thanksgiving because nobody wants to cook
the day before Thanksgivings.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
For drink.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
That's all I have, right, It's just that's I could.
I could eat pizza at all times. I love it,
but I can't because my dad doesn't like it. I
mean I could, and I could get him some spaghetti
or something, but I'm just asking for trouble and I
don't need to pick a fight at this point in
our lives. Drinksgiving I don't partake him. I love a
(14:01):
glass of wine. I am not a teetotaler by any
stretch of the imagination, but yeah, any holiday that includes
other people drinking and getting on the road, I want
no part of. I just I stay off the roads
for all of those holidays. There is no reason to
just be out there, even if you are sober and
(14:21):
you're the sober driver. It's the other people that you
got to look out for, and it's very people out there.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
I don't know if you've noticed that recently.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
Meanwhile, you are expected to spend close to a trillion
dollars for this year's holiday season.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
A trillion.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
That's according to the National Retail Foundation, which is predicting
record spending. The holiday shopping season unofficially begins the day
after Thanksgiving. I would call that officially officially begins the
day after Thanksgiving with Black Friday. But I've noticed a
lot of sales already underway. And apparently if you want
a really good sale, you need to go to JC,
Penny Belk or Dillards. Those are the three that are
(15:03):
offering the steepest discounts for you. One trillion dollars. So
apparently that inflation that we've all talked about and all
of the squeezing of our wallets, it's not slowing us
down that much. A trillion dollars.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
Now.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
I don't know if you were a McRib lover, but
if you are, well, yeah, I have bad news. Oh no,
you still have to wait another week to get your
McRib However, you can get the sauce for the first time.
McDonald's is actually selling jugs of McRib sauce. It's a
(15:43):
jug of a whole lot of McRib sauce and it
will cost you twenty dollars twenty and it's available online
beginning today. I have I have had one bite of
one McRib ever in my life, and I got that gummy,
chewy weirdness in my mouth and could not spit it
(16:05):
out fast enough. I was I was the guy in
big rubbing his mouth going oh oh. I could not
get rid of it fast enough. It was the most
awful thing I'd ever eaten.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
I know, blasphemy. We engage in blasphemy. I love it.

(17:49):
thing about it. So families are paying rent two times
when they have kids two times, paying rent twice with
the cost of childcare.
Speaker 4 (17:59):
Tammy Trihey has that story.
Speaker 8 (18:02):
Eligend dot Com took feedback from one thousand.
Speaker 4 (18:05):
That is not the right bite there, I apologize.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
Oh, oh, well, you know what, we have a we
have a we have a situation? Does does does Jeff
have the right sound bite? And it's not Jeff's fault,
by the way, because I'm the one telling him everything
to do. And you know I'm not that bright. I
found the correct one or organized. Actually is the truth.
(18:31):
I'm semi bright. I'm just not terribly organized. So sorry
about that, Jeff. That was my fault.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
Is this organized chaos every single day. Lodonna, you're doing
just fine.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
Excellent, excellent, Welcome to the Welcome to the tail spin.
Speaker 4 (18:45):
All right, Tammy Trio, do we have her? That got her?
Here we go the labor apartments.
Speaker 9 (18:49):
His parents are spending up to fifteen thousand dollars or
more for full day care per child. That works out
to about nine to sixteen percent of their yearly pay
on daycare for each child. Government data shows me more
than thirteen million of the nation sixty three million parents
pay for childcare parents with infants, those living in large counties,
and those using a childcare center over home care, often
(19:09):
paying much more. I'm tammy for HEEO. I feel for you.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
If you are a family, if you're a working parent
of any ilk doesn't matter. I mean, single parents have
it just as rough and without the two incomes.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
Right, you don't have the two incomes.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
So you're footing the whole bill, or at least most
of it, unless you're getting some child support.
Speaker 4 (19:31):
And raising families today.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
Is so extraordinarily expensive because not only are you dealing
with this almost almost the cost of your rent to
take care of your child, you're also probably trying to
save for college, because we know you don't want them
to get down in student loans, right, bogged down in
student loans.
Speaker 4 (19:53):
Nobody needs that nonsense.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
So if you're a working parent and you are dealing
with childcare, I'm curious, how are you swinging this. I
know that a lot of people have moved closer to
family because you know, suddenly grandma's a little bit free,
and she can take the child for the time that
you're at work and they're not in school, and you know,
God forbid if they're not in school yet, and you
(20:18):
have a small child and you're trying to work a
job so that you can put Thanksgiving turkey on the
table this year. It is a rough bit of business.
How are you paying for that? How are you doing it?
How have you managed it? I know a lot of
people also maybe have a coterie of friends. And these friends,
(20:40):
you know, one of them works a day shift, one
of them works a night shift, somebody else works a
different shift, and they kind of take turns watching each
other's kids. I have a single friend in San Diego,
and that's what she and all of her friends did,
was they sort of had a schedule as to who
was working when and could keep an eye on the children.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
And when they got to be teenagers, oh lord, teenagers.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
I mean, you know, how do you keep control of
teenage boys and teenage girls these days?
Speaker 4 (21:08):
I don't know. And if you're a.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
Single parent, it's got to be even harder than it
is if you're a two parent family. And if you're
a two parent family, chances are you're both working. Anyway,
How do you do it? Eight hundred six eight eight
nine five two to two. Hit that microphone symbol and
you can make a comment. You can ask a question.
We're here for any and all. I mean this is
(21:31):
this is uh, this is the wild West out here
on this particular radio ranch, and we have no broken
uh we have no broken horses. We have we're all
hat and some cattle and no saddle.
Speaker 4 (21:45):
It's so it's a free for all.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
All you have to do is just take part by
getting in touch with us at eight hundred and six
eight eight nine, five two to two, or of course
that iHeartRadio app hit that talkback mic. So another story,
and Jeff, I want to make sure that I gave
you time to get to this because you know, if
you're a working family and you're paying rent two times
(22:07):
with the cost of your childcare, and you're trying to
get your kid ready for college, well, there was a
recent survey on career readiness that found that eighty one
percent eighty one percent of workplace managers say new college grads.
Speaker 4 (22:22):
Are not ready for the workplace.
Speaker 8 (22:25):
Scott Survey from Intelligence dot com took feedback from one
thousand managers last month. One third of them said that
new graduates definitely need training on some professional protocols, while
another forty eight percent said they probably do the issues
they cite include not taking constructive criticism well, adhering to
dress codes, the use of cell phones on the job,
(22:47):
and speaking about controversial topics in the workplace. Other issues
were time management and a lack of professional communication skills.
Speaker 4 (22:56):
I'm Scott Carr, So who's whose fault is that?
Speaker 3 (23:02):
I'm really curious as somebody who did not. I did
not raise children, so I have no clue whose fault
it is.
Speaker 4 (23:08):
Now.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
You know my go to is, well, is this the
education system? But some of this it's going to be parenting.
If you're a workplace manager, I'm curious, how do you
bring somebody up to speed that you.
Speaker 4 (23:23):
Know, you know they might be right for the job.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
This might be something that you think this person can do,
but you know that instead of writing out YO you
in an email, they're used to texting the letter you.
They're not great with the soft skills, those social skills.
Those are things that you know, gen X, we were
(23:47):
left unattended to run feral and we learned social skills.
We learned them very quickly because without those social skills,
we were going.
Speaker 4 (23:57):
To get beat up.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
Somebody would take us behind the woodshed and beat us up.
If we did not learn how to diffuse hot situations,
how to have conversations with one another, how to have fun,
and how to dress appropriately. We have to be able
to do those things. And these kids, they just don't know.
(24:22):
And if you're a parent of a new college grad,
what are your thoughts? Why aren't they ready? Because they
have to be ready. They're already behind.
Speaker 4 (24:33):
The eight ball right.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
With college debt that they've racked up. They've got to
get in there and start that career.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
It's your Morning show with Michael del Journo.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
We're on the air and everywhere on your iHeartRadio ad
that is free hit that talk back micro callus at
eight hundred and six eight eight nine five two two.
We would love to talk to you a couple of
stories that sort of, you know, feed into each other.
Are you know the recent survey on career readiness that
found that eighty one percent of workplace managers say new
(25:06):
college grads are not ready for the workplace. They don't
know how to dress, they don't know how to act,
they don't know how to socialize, they're very awkward socially.
And this is you know, I am not one of
those people who's like kids these days, I'm not that
grumpy and I don't have that kind of bandwidth, But
I do worry about them because I think that it
(25:28):
speaks to the epidemic, or really the pandemic of loneliness
that we see out there among younger kids. They don't
date the way that we did in Generation X. I mean,
I think I went on my first date when I
was fifteen. I think I've finally got a boyfriend when
I was seventeen, and then when I was nineteen, I
(25:53):
actually moved in with a guy. That's a mistake, by
the way, gen Z, don't do that. Just piece from
your old anti Lenana. Don't do that to get a
commitment or don't do it. It's just better. It's better
for your health, it's better for your psyche, it's better
for all of that. But you know, we were very
social creatures, and it had to do with being cut
loose on the world by our parents, who believed that
(26:19):
we could take care of ourselves. And we have a
new generation of parents, and I think my generation is
in this group that's kind of lawnmowered things in front
of their kids, and their kids just aren't.
Speaker 4 (26:34):
Ready for adversity. And you have to start.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
You have to start dealing with adversity because you are
going to find it in the workplace. You are going
to find people that you have a tough time getting
along with. You were going not me luckily with Jeff
and Red it's fabulous, but otherwise you are going to
find some places where you butt heads with people, and
(26:57):
you have to learn to do it and do it constructively. Now,
apparently at work there is a manager crash, a manager crash,
dissatisfaction among middle management. What it could become an issue
in twenty twenty five. A digital coaching platform called me
(27:17):
Equilibrium predicts a manager crash in the coming year. Let's
talk to Madeline in Illinois. She is joining us on
the phone the Michael Del Giorno Show. It is your
morning show. Good morning, Madeline, how are you.
Speaker 10 (27:36):
Good morning with Donna. I'm great. I have three kids
seventeen to twenty two. And I will tell you it
to a certain extent, doesn't matter what you're doing as
a parent, because we taught our kids. You steel, you
go to jail. You know, you don't work hard, you
don't get ahead, you don't show up at work on time,
you lose your job. But post COVID, we're living in
(27:59):
a time where you don't show up, you keep your
job because there's not enough people already working at the employers.
You feel well, as long as you steel under a
thousand dollars worth, you're good.
Speaker 3 (28:11):
You're not going to do you be in California.
Speaker 10 (28:18):
We're on Illinois almost as bad. So, you know, it
really kind of doesn't matter what you're doing as a
parent because society is pushing back so hard on that.
And I think we almost made things. You know, I
grew up as a latch key kid, and I think
my generation whose parents turned around and went to work
(28:39):
maybe have made things a little too precious for our kids,
and maybe a little too easy, maybe listen to a
little too many of their opinions. And between that and
social media and the changes in society, it's really become
a problem.
Speaker 4 (29:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (29:01):
I honestly, Madeline, I don't know how your parents handle it,
because it would it would drive me insane. So, first
of all, I suspect that had I ever been a parent,
my kid would not have a cell phone that they
could go on the Internet with, and they certainly wouldn't
have a TikTok account. I mean I would be that weird,
bloodite parent because I don't want you know, I wouldn't
(29:24):
want them influenced by what they're seeing on TikTok and
thinking oh, well, I can just do that. It's like, no,
these are outliers, man, those those TikTok stars and those
social media stars.
Speaker 10 (29:37):
They're outliers, right, but these kids should be working for Apple.
I waited tell my kids were in high school to
get them phones, which you know, of course, but that
made me the worst parent on the planet.
Speaker 4 (29:51):
But even when you put terrible.
Speaker 10 (29:53):
Terrible controls in place, they can get around just about anything.
So right, it is really difficult. A phone is not
just a phone, unfortunately, and you know I don't I
never wanted my young children to have the whole world
at their fingertips, just because I wanted to be able
to reach them when they were at wide skates, you know.
So yeah, yeah, we actually had I get you cool.
Speaker 4 (30:20):
I told a friend of mine. They were like, you
know what, what would you let them have it?
Speaker 3 (30:24):
I said, I'd let them have one of those jitterbugs,
one of those jitter bugs for seniors where they couldn't
go anywhere, but they could.
Speaker 8 (30:32):
Just use it.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
As a phone, I get to maddle an eight hundred
and six eight eight nine five two to two, and
of course everywhere on your iHeartRadio app, you hit that
talkback Mike and you can get right back to us.
Getting ready for life is something that I don't I honestly,
I don't know how you do it. And Madeline just
expressed what I think is a great deal of frustration
(30:56):
in not being able to work around under kids. Now
here's the thing, as gen X, we worked around our parents.
I managed to steal my dad's Johnson at starting at
about age twelve, I was getting around all of the
rules all the time.
Speaker 4 (31:15):
Kids naturally do that.
Speaker 3 (31:17):
They push those boundaries and they test them and if
they're really sneaky like I was, and you don't get caught,
then you have to learn all the hard lessons later.
You have to learn the hard lessons later, which I did.
You know, I got knocked down in my career many
many times before I finally realized that, you know what,
I'm not going to be able to do this all
(31:37):
my way. And once I learned how to do what
it was that I was doing, then I decided to
do it in my way. But that was after, you know,
learning the basics and getting experience, which is something that
you got to do eight hundred and six eight eight
nine five two two. Do your kids want to work?
Do your kids even want to drive? Because so many
(31:58):
kids are completely uninterested in driving. I remember getting my
learner's permit as fast as I could when I turned fifteen.
Speaker 4 (32:10):
I mean I was at the DMV.
Speaker 3 (32:13):
Boom got that learner's permit, and I drove every opportunity
that my parents would let me have.
Speaker 4 (32:19):
At age sixteen, Boom got.
Speaker 3 (32:21):
My driver's license, got a job, and quite frankly, the
time between San Diego and Phoenix has been the longest
period of unemployment in my life. And I say that
as somebody who's filling in for Michael today. But I'm
technically unemployed and it feels weird and not right, and
(32:43):
I don't like it.
Speaker 4 (32:44):
I don't like it at all.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
We're all in this together.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
