Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, it's Michael. Your morning show can be heard live
weekday mornings five to eight am, six to nine am
Eastern and great cities like Tampa, Florida, Youngstown, Ohio, and
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. We'd love to join you on the
Drive to work live. But we're glad you're here now.
Enjoyed the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Well two three starting your morning off right, A new
way of talk, a new way of understanding because we're
in the stated. This is your morning show with Michael
gel John.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
It's five minutes after the hour on your morning show.
My name is Lodona Harvey and from Michael Del Giorno
on the air and everywhere on that free iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 4 (00:42):
It isn't your morning show without your voice.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
So if you're listening on that iHeartRadio app, hit the
talkback Mike, send us a message. We'd love to play
it on the air, and you can also give us
a call. Eight hundred and six eight eight nine five
two two. So a great story that Red was able
to send to me about Americans and how they're fleeing
progressive governors vowing resistance to Red States.
Speaker 4 (01:05):
It's a story out of Newsweek.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
That that I think it's so interesting because I got
out of San Diego by necessity. I love San Diego.
It's a great place to live. It's not as great
a place to live as it used to be because
it's become far too expensive and housing is a problem.
Homelessness is a problem, drug addiction is a problem, and
they're not dealing with it.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
They're just they're just not dealing with it.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
They throw a lot of money at it, but that
doesn't mean that they're dealing with it. And policies that
fuel the high cost of living that you're seeing in
cities are part of the problem. You know, when you
have when your kids are not able to get out
of college, get a job and make enough money to
(01:50):
rent an apartment on their own, that is incredibly discouraging
and it puts them behind the financial eight ball later
in life. So you're finding people who are leaving. I
am not completely broken hearted over leaving San Diego. As
much as I love it, and I do. I love
it so much. It's a it's just a it's a
(02:11):
great place to live. But there is a crime problem
in California. There is a violence problem in California. There
is a city problem in almost every big city, especially
along the coast in California. And one of the ways
that people vote is with their.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
Feet, don't they. Now here's the problem.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
You have a lot of people who vote with their feet,
but they carry their baggage with them whenever they move
to a new place and you start seeing, you know,
more progressive ideas going into government, et cetera, the same
ones that tanked them where they were.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
I don't know why that is.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
I find that incredibly interesting that if you're getting out
of a city like a San Diego or a Los
Angeles or a Seattle or Portland or Miami or you
know whatever, if you're leaving because the policies have left
you feeling like you are not being represented, and then
you turn around and you vote for those same policies
(03:11):
in the place that you.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
Go, It's weird. It's weird for me.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Policies fueling this blue state exodus, according to Newsweek, include
out of control public pensions and that is a problem,
and other spending, ineffective and expensive subsidized housing programs. Only
in California do they believe that by making it more
expensive to build a home, you can create affordable housing.
It's the most disjointed thing i've ever seen. In a
(03:41):
lot of cases, you'll have somebody who wants to build
a house and they have to put up fifty thousand
dollars permit fee down first fifty Thousand's not like you're
living there. You haven't even broken a ground. Yet they
wonder why in larger cities they build these luxury apartment buildings.
They have to pay so much upfront to get these
things built that they can't afford to build affordable housing
(04:07):
because it doesn't make any fiscal sense. If you're a developer,
you're in this to make money, right, Well, of course
you are. We're all in this to make money. We
are all in life to make money. The hope is
that by the time we retire we will have enough
money to live on. But we make housing more expensive
by design and then turn it into affordable housing, which
(04:32):
is affordable only for a very small portion of the population,
but everybody else gets to foot the bill.
Speaker 4 (04:39):
The big squeeze comes on the middle class.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
If I could, if I could give one criticism of
the United States right now, it's that the middle class
is being squeezed into oblivion. Every tax increase, every increase
in interest rates, et cetera. Hits the middle class harder
than it hits anybody else. The rich don't care. They
can afford to pay it. The poor don't care because
(05:02):
they're subsidized. Who subsidizes them? Well, are there more rich
people or they're more middle class people? That's right, middle class.
So people are voting with their feet. There is an
exodus out of some of these larger, more liberal cities,
and people are tired. They're tired of not being able
(05:25):
to get ahead. They are tired of public schools that
don't work, the opposition to school choice. They're tired of crime,
excessive taxes, rising levels of homelessness, and in California in particular,
a lot of that is fueled by seniors. Seniors who
(05:48):
have either been taxed out of their homes or the
apartments that they're living in have become so exorbitantly unaffordable
that they end.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
Up on the streets.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
And I sit there and think, you know, thank God,
my dad was able to do what he did, what
he and his wife did, I have to give her
full credit to He and my stepmother were able to
create a business outside of what.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
They were doing.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
As their work and sock away enough money to take
care of themselves in their old age.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
So it was.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Well designed by my dad and my stepmom. But also,
you know, sheer bit of luck. If you have a
senior in your family who is trying to make it
on Social Security, they can't do that.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
They cannot do that.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
My mom has Social Security and it does not pay
enough for her to live where she lives, which is
why I subsidized that housing, which I'm happy to do.
That's my mom. I want her to have a roof
over her head. I want her to be safe, I
want her to be healthy, and I want her to
be happy. And I don't mind doing it. But I
have the privilege of being able to do it. Other
(07:00):
people do not. Progressive governors of California, Illinois, New Jersey,
New York, Massachusetts all vowing to resist or fight against
Trump two point zero. Part of that is the illegal
immigration conversation, saying no, we're you know, we're doubling down.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
We are sanctuary cities.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
You're not going to come in here, You're not going
to deport people, Which is interesting because these are the
same people who you know, believe in they believe in
the law. Do they really believe in the law. No,
they only believe in the laws that they agree with. Now,
how convenient is that New Jersey governor his last name
(07:39):
is Murphy, can't remember the first name.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
He said he would fight to the death. JB.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Pritzker in Illinois Jared Poulis in Colorado have formed a
non partisan group focused on countering threats of autocracy. Threats
of autocracy, mind you and say they're talking to other
Democrats and Republicans about joining the effort, which has its
own staff and researchers. I mean, they're really that worried
(08:08):
about Donald Trump?
Speaker 4 (08:09):
Come on, man.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
More importantly, you know, when you leave a big city
and you take your nice middle class salary with you,
you might move to a smaller town and you're still
going to make almost the same, maybe not quite as
much as you would make in a San Diego, but
you're going to make a really nice living. I mean,
(08:31):
when I did the cost of living, I love cost
of living calculators.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
I'm so intrigued by it.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
And I did a cost of living calculus on moving
from San Diego to Phoenix, because you know, if I
do become gainfully employed one day, which I might, you
know how much do I need to make to kind
of be able to keep up with the lifestyle to
which I have become accustomed and.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
I'm intrigued by it. So it turns out not as much. Now.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
Would I want to make as much as I made
in Sandy Go? Yes, that's what I'm shooting for, but
I don't know if I'm going to get it. But
I don't need to, And that's the important part.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
Have you moved?
Speaker 3 (09:08):
Did you move out of a big city or out
of a state with more progressive policies? And did you
ever do it because you needed freedom, You needed the
ability to take care of yourself and make sure that
your family's doing well. Maybe you want your kids to
grow up in a smaller town.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
Have you done that? And why?
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Eight hundred and six eight eight nine five two two
on the iHeartRadio app you hit the red talk back
mic and just tell us what's on your mind.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
Did you move or do you know somebody who has moved?
Speaker 3 (09:42):
Maybe you've got family members who have moved out of larger,
more progressive areas and they've moved to more conservative areas
because they would like to have a certain lifestyle.
Speaker 4 (09:54):
And did they bring their voting with them.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
This is your morning show with Michael Detono.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
My name is Ladona Harvey. I'm in for Michael dev Jorneau,
and yes we are all smart Alex, but that's okay.
We're on the air and everywhere on your free iHeartRadio app.
Of course, we cannot have your morning show without your voice.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
On the phone.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
It's eight hundred six eight eight nine five two to
two and you can hit the talkback Mike on the
iHeartRadio app to weigh in.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
With your thoughts.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Let's start off with our top five stories of the
day and the Road to the White House.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
Twenty twenty four.
Speaker 5 (10:30):
President elect Trump is taking a victory lap after his
federal election interference case and documents case were being dropped
by the Special Council. After the news, Trump posted that
he persevered against all odds, and former federal prosecutor Paul
Butler agrees.
Speaker 6 (10:47):
Donald Trump one he beat his case with an assist
from the Supreme Court of the United States.
Speaker 5 (10:53):
Jack Smith filed a motion to drop the felony charges
connected with Trump's alleged efforts to overturn the presidential election.
Soon after, he filed a similar motion to drop all
charges for his alleged efforts to illegally store classified documents
at his Florida home.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
In Washington, I'm Brian Shook, and that is Brian shook
me all night long. That's kind of what we call
him around here. That's what you told me. And I
do love that. I love that.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
A lot Thanksgiving travel is already underway. You might be packing,
and if you are, you are going to need to
give yourself a little bit of time because the airports
are going to be packed. Today is the biggest travel
day of this holiday season. About three million people in all,
eighty million of US are hitting the roads, but about
(11:44):
three million are going to be at the airport. And
because of the East Coast and some weather and heavy snow,
it is, after all, late fall heading into winter, we
are expecting, you know, delays and things like that. So
you just got to be prepared for it. Meanwhile, prepared
because Thanksgiving can be dangerous. Pre Tennis has more on
(12:05):
how to stay safe as there there is a lot
of risk in your kitchen.
Speaker 7 (12:09):
The CDC says forty eight million people will get sick
from food board illness this Thanksgiving holiday. Cornell University's food
service department says fires, burns and slipping falls can send
you to the er, and don't underestimate carving accidents. The
slip of a knife can require stitches or surgery, and
blood is not the extra ingredient your turkey needs. Experts say,
(12:32):
start with a sharp knife, cut away from you, and
turn the lights on.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
I'm bre tennis. No, I'm going to use a dull
knife and I'm going to do it by candlelight. Or
do you remember those old electric turkey carvers. It's like
once a year you would bring this stupid electric thing
out like it.
Speaker 4 (12:48):
Still uses it to this shutting me.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
It's like a chainsaw with with a serrated blade on it.
Speaker 4 (12:56):
I love those that.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
We didn't have one in my house, but I that
I knew people who did, and I thought, why would
you have a kitchen gadget.
Speaker 4 (13:03):
That you only use one time?
Speaker 3 (13:05):
Meanwhile, I'm sitting there with a kitchen aid mixer in
my kitchen that I think I've used twice. But you know,
it looks good and it was really expensive. It was
a wedding gift, so I'm gonna keep it. So there
no injuries reported after the wings of two passenger jets
clipped at Logan International Airport in Boston, official say, and
arriving American Airlines plane contacted the wing of a Frontier
(13:26):
Airlines jet that was parked at a gate, which makes
you think, ooh, that's an American Airlines pilot that's probably
in a little bit of trouble. Today, the man who
was picked to lead border enforcement efforts by the President
elect is going to be in South Texas today borders
are Tom Homan is set to meet with Republican Governor
Greg Abbott taking part in an event on land acquired
(13:47):
by the State of Texas to build more border wall.
And it's so interesting seeing the starting in the stopping
and the starting in the stopping at the border that
we've seen over the course of a Trump administration, a
Biden administration, and now upcoming a Trump administration.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
It's a lot of back and forth for.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
Something that most people believe is very important, which is
making sure that immigration works and illegal immigration is slowed
a lot. Now illegal immigration has been declining. That's great,
but we still have some huge challenges for those who
are guarding the border, including a whole lot of unaccompanied
(14:29):
miners who are coming across the border ostensibly because they've
got parents or family here in the United States. And
then one of the big stories yesterday that we've been
talking about is the Menendez brothers. They're going to stay
behind bars for now. Eric and Lyle Menendez made their
first court appearance in decades.
Speaker 4 (14:47):
They were on video.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
They did it virtually in Los Angeles because they are,
of course trying to get re sentenced for the nineteen
eighty nine murders of their parents in Beverly Hills. For
any of us who were you know, impressionable at that
time in nineteen eighty nine, I mean the really you know,
crime of the century that was kind of that was
that was part of the rhetoric about this case. You
(15:12):
had these rich kids who killed their parents, and you
know it was going to be everybody thought, well, it's.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
About the money.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
Well now, because the Los Angeles County DA, the outgoing DA,
has recommended they be resentenced based on new evidence, saying
that they were sexually abused by their father for years.
The newly elected DA, however, wants more time to study
the case, so a new resentencing hearing is set for
late January.
Speaker 4 (15:40):
Now.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
Their attorney is Mark Garrigos, and he talks about their
family members who are fighting for the brother's release.
Speaker 5 (15:49):
Impassion, please with the judge to send the brothers home.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
And like I said, very moving.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
Very moving if you are on their side. If you
are not on their side, maybe not so much. A
lot of people believe the Menendez brothers are just flat
out cold killers. So we'll have to see what happens
when the new attorney, when the new LA District attorney
comes in, because that attorney does not seem to be
(16:21):
as lucy goosey feely as the previous one.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
Good morning, guys.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
This is Jeff and pleasant View, Tennessee, and my morning
show is your Morning Show with Michael Dale Jorno.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Hey, it's me Michael. Your morning show can be heard
live five to eight am Central, six to nine Eastern
and great cities like Jackson, Mississippi, Akron, Ohio, or Columbus, Georgia.
We'd love to be a part of your morning routine
and we're grateful you're here.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
Now.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Enjoy the podcast.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
Coming up at fifteen after the top of the hour,
we are going to speak with the drummers and one.
Speaker 6 (17:02):
Of the that we love the guitars and the long hair.
You know, it might be it might be always been
intrigued by that band.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
So I think that because they're rock and rollers at heart.
I mean, if you had Trans Siberian Orchestra and they
changed their name to I don't know, you know, Death
Death Slayer and turned into a rock and roll band,
and toward the rest of the year, it would not
surprise me and I would go see them.
Speaker 6 (17:27):
It's like White Snake showed up and started playing a
little drummer boy right exactly.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
And you know what, I'm okay with that. I think
it might.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
I think it might be a kind of a generational thing.
Certainly gen X. You know, we had a you know,
we have a we have a sarcastic view of almost everything.
We're a little sour, we're a little flinty, we're a
little feral, and you know, we don't you know, for instance,
what is the Christmas movie that everybody loves and I
just hate it? Oh Christmas Story, Christmas Vak It's a
(18:00):
wonderful life, Christmas Story. I love, Okay, it's a wonderful life.
One of my least favorite movies of all time. I
do not like it. I hate the yell. It's he
Jimmy Stewart just yells his way through it. I think
it's a terrible movie, and I know I'm poking holes.
Speaker 6 (18:19):
I'm poking the mirror the same way. I just to
feel the same way. And then one what Thanksgiving night,
when they first showed it, I watched it. And since
it's been like ten fifteen years now, I can't go
through a Christmas season without watching It's a Wonderful Life.
And I keep wondering if I need to show my
gen X card and say I'm not jaded anymore.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
You know what, I may have to pull it. I
may have to pull your gen X card to got clipped.
Speaker 4 (18:48):
For me.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
It's bad, Santa. Well, I know, I know, right, but
I'm gen X and you know my view. And I say,
and yet, if you know, for people who say that
it's a foul movie and is, let's be honest, it
also is a movie about redemption, but just with a
little bit more of a modern sensibility.
Speaker 4 (19:08):
And maybe that's what it is that I need.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
Maybe that's why I can't stand It's a Wonderful Life,
because I think it's this icky, gooey, sticky sweet, not
at all in any way plausible kind of film. And
Bad Santa. I can see that. I can totally see it.
So yeah, that's my riff on Christmas movies.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
I do love.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
The Christmas story because my mother often told me that
I was going to put my eye out when I
was a kid, and believe me, it wasn't for lack
of trying.
Speaker 4 (19:43):
I shouldn't have two eyes.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
I should probably I should probably not even be on
planet Earth. I should probably be under it considering all
the things I got up to when I was a kid.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
But I love that one. I love Bad Santa.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
I Diehard is a Christmas movie as far as I'm concerned,
So I love to watch that. I know, I know
you can argue about it, and I don't even care
what Bruce Willis says. It's still a Christmas movie to me.
Speaker 6 (20:05):
They played Christmas music, It's a Christmas movie exactly.
Speaker 4 (20:08):
That is mincil and lights. It's a Christmas movie.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
Plus you have hens Kruber getting thrown, you know, very
very nastily off a building, and he asked for it.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
He asked for it hard.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
So yeah, I think generationally maybe it's a gen x
thing with with you know, some of the Christmas movies
that are maybe a little bit less of the you know, yes, Virginia,
there is a Santa Claus kind of thing.
Speaker 4 (20:36):
It's just it's not my gig. It's just not my gig.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
I need something with a little more SaaS, something a
little more negative, I guess.
Speaker 4 (20:44):
And yet I still want that redemption.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
You know, we were talking about the top five stories
and I have not even come close to talking about birthdays.
Dale Jared is sixty eight years old. He's a former
NASCAR driver and broadcaster. Two time Daytona five five hundred winner.
The bass guitarist for the legendary band Fleetwood Mac. John
mcv seventy nine years old. One of the finest bass
(21:09):
players on the planet. He does not if you love
the song Rhianna, and you know a lot of people
love that album right and for good reason. It is
an absolute master work Rhiannon. Listen to the bassline in
that thing. It is extraordinary and it drives the whole song.
(21:30):
Bass Players do not get enough credit as far as
I am concerned. John mcvev one of the best ones.
Seventy nine years old from Fleetwood Mac. Tina Turner, were
she still alive, she passed away in twenty twenty three.
Tina was simply the best, as you know, known for
hits like Proud Mary Better be Good to Me. What's
(21:52):
love got to do with it? You want to talk
about another story of redemption?
Speaker 4 (21:55):
You know, we were.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
Talking about how you can come up from nothing. Tina
Turner prime example, and somebody who had two iterations of
fame and fortune thrust upon her. She came out of Nutbush,
Tennessee and turned into part of the Ike and Tina
(22:16):
Turner review. After that horrible you know, breakup and everything else.
I mean, she was singing tunes in Vegas, she and
chare both and this manager saw her and went, no,
this is not all there is for you. And she
just kept plugging away until she turned into the monster
(22:39):
Tina Turner that we all know and love.
Speaker 4 (22:42):
At least those of us of a certain generation.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
Younger generations I think, you know, kind of didn't didn't
maybe get Tina Turner the way that we did.
Speaker 4 (22:51):
But she was so phenomenal. She was a nice person.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
She was a very nice person, and she was also
so talented that it was a little bit frightening to
see her. If you saw her live, Oh man, how
lucky are you?
Speaker 4 (23:08):
That was awesome?
Speaker 3 (23:09):
I never got to see Tina Turner. I've seen her,
you know, I've seen concerts by her that are filmed.
Speaker 4 (23:15):
She put it all out there, didn't she. Yeah, the
What's Love got to do with it? Tour?
Speaker 6 (23:20):
Oh no, really thought in the eighties, Yes, she was
everything as advertised, you.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
Know, And I remember, I remember in the eighties I
was working, i want to say, in Flagstaff, Arizona, on
a music station up there, and her comeback was just
the talk of radio.
Speaker 4 (23:42):
Oh yeah, all of these people.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
Who thought there was no way that you go, you know,
you go from Proud Mary to you better be good
to Me to Thunderdome.
Speaker 4 (23:52):
Do you remember her in Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome?
Speaker 3 (23:56):
She was fabulous. Why wasn't she doing more movies? I
have no idea, but she's she's one of the ones
who you know. When she died it really affected me
because I remember buying that album and just wearing it
out Yes on vinyl, yes, and then on CD again,
and then I believe I've got it on my iTunes
because that's what we do. We buy things three three times.
(24:18):
And that's why gen X is bitter and unhappy and broke.
We have to keep buying.
Speaker 4 (24:23):
Our music over a bit of our music catalog. Three times,
Yes we have.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
It's your Morning Show with Michael del Jorno.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
And I'm so sorry I've been taking the woods shed
by Red?
Speaker 4 (24:40):
Was it It's a Wonderful Life? Or White Christmas that
you love? I think there's both. Yeah, what's wrong with you?
What is wrong with you? Read?
Speaker 3 (24:50):
Oh I can't do sappy, but the guys can do sappy.
Speaker 4 (24:55):
Yeah. When it comes to.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
Christmas, I want I want it to be rock and roll. Man,
it's bad Santa, it's you'll put your eye out, it's
diehard Hans Gruber flying.
Speaker 4 (25:04):
Through the air. And it's Trans Siberian Orchestra.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
And luckily we have drummer and founding member Jeff Plate
joining us from Trans Siberian Orchestra.
Speaker 4 (25:12):
Coming up at fifteen after the hour.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
They are bringing you a fabulous Christmas show. Across the country,
they do about a bajillion shows. Between it's early November
and and Christmas, they.
Speaker 4 (25:27):
Do a bajillion show. I don't even know how they
do it.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
I know here in Phoenix, which is where I'm broadcasting from,
they have two shows coming up on Sunday. I mean,
this has got to be and we'll ask Jeff about that.
You know, how do you do so many shows? And
Red pointed out something very interesting, which is in the
middle of their Christmas show, they kind of stop down
and they do some heavy metal, which is my thing.
Speaker 4 (25:53):
I love heavy metal.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
I love you know, Metallica, I love Oh my gosh.
I don't even know how many times I've seen Iron
Maiden live, but it's a lot. I've seen Ozzy Osbourne
and I saw him back when he had a guitar
player who was absolutely amazing, and saw him Randy Rhoads.
Speaker 4 (26:15):
Three weeks before he died. Oh wow, I mean.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
Yeah, I've seen Randy Rhoades play guitar live, so there's that.
Speaker 4 (26:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
It was at the El Paso County Coliseum, Jeff, and
three weeks later he was dead.
Speaker 4 (26:27):
Oh my goodness. Same thing with me was Stevie Raybond.
Speaker 6 (26:30):
I had to see Stevie Raybon and they were free
and I was like, I'll see him next year, and
two weeks later he was gone.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
And I've seen him three times and once at a
there's a celebrity theater here in Phoenix, and I think
they have them kind of across the country. Which is
a show in the round where the stage rotates so
you get to see all aspects of the stage during
the show. I've seen Stevie Rayvon there and seen him
in other you know, other concert venues. Alman Brothers band. Yeah,
(27:00):
probably three or four times. Moody Blues. I mean, my
musical tastes really do run the gamut, though I am
quite fond of the rock and roll.
Speaker 4 (27:07):
You're an angry little elf, aren't you.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
I am an angry little elf. I am fueled by
rage and caffeine. And you know what, right now, I'm
out of caffeine. Oh yes, sure, So everybody needs to
look out for me. It's just back slowly out of
the room. You'll be fine. Maybe possibly pop possibly maybe,
I don't know, Ladana Harvey and for Michael del Giorno.
(27:32):
And it's your morning show, so we need your voice.
Eight hundred and six eight eight nine five two two.
You can make a comment, you can ask a question.
Speaker 4 (27:41):
Ask me anything. I don't care I might lie.
Speaker 3 (27:44):
No, I won't lie. Ask me anything, and I'm happy
to answer it. Or just comment on anything that you're
hearing on the morning show. Because it is yours, it's
not mine. It's all about you and Michael del Giorno
make sure that that is the case. Now, did you
know that there is in Indonesia a problem. They don't
have enough cows. They don't have enough cows, so they
(28:09):
are drinking.
Speaker 4 (28:12):
Fish.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
Oh serious, seriously, it's a powdered milk derived from the
flesh of fish. But not everybody is convinced. Apparently there
are milk options in Indonesia and one of them is
made of fish. Just if you were, if you were
(28:35):
wondering what it's like to live somewhere else. I like
it that I can make my latte on the weekend
or drive to Starbucks and get it, whichever suits my fancy.
Speaker 4 (28:47):
How do you spend your weekends?
Speaker 3 (28:49):
I'm curious because the happiest people on the planet spend
their weekends like a vacation. This is according to a
happiness expert. Meanwhile, when I grow up, can I have
that job? I want to be a happiness expert? Okay, no,
I don't. It would never work with it. Jeff, Here's
how you be happy. I am not a font of positivity.
(29:12):
It's true. Lots of us and I am included in this.
Spend our weekends you know, working on the yard cleaning house.
That's the time when I do the stuff that I
don't have the time or the energy to do during
the week. Now I feel that I have an excuse
in that I take care of my dad with Alzheimer's
(29:32):
and he is, you know what, he is high maintenance,
my father, He is incredibly high maintenance. Right now, we
are having a battle Royale over klondike bars because he's
also diabetic.
Speaker 6 (29:46):
You said yesterday, you've got to leave so you can
go home and give.
Speaker 4 (29:50):
Your dad a klondike clondike bar. He was true. It
is true. The night before last he actually kept me
up all night.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
He got he comes toddling down the hall with his dog, Gunner.
Speaker 4 (30:03):
So I hear a little click click click click click
of Gunner's nails.
Speaker 3 (30:06):
Gunner is a giant, overweight uh black lab who is fabulous,
Gunner the Wonder dog and also is poo malicious.
Speaker 4 (30:14):
That guy.
Speaker 3 (30:15):
He can he can poop anywhere, I mean, and it's
like it just falls right out of him. And mostly
that's in my living room where you know. Now, we
have a system where I'm trying to get him outside
to go to the bathroom before.
Speaker 4 (30:27):
He can ruin my life.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
Uh, but I hear the click click click of Gunner's
little nails toddling down the hall, and then I hear
my dad, it's it's Walker Step Shuffle, Walker Step Shuffle.
Speaker 4 (30:38):
It's and apparently a metal band name, wouldn't it. So
this is my life.
Speaker 3 (30:47):
And Sunday night he woke me up all night long.
Speaker 4 (30:52):
Saying, hey, isn't it time for a klond like Dad?
It's eleven o'clock. I let's I will give you a
protein shake. I will do anything except give you a Klondike.
Speaker 6 (31:05):
Bar many fridge for Christmas and put it in his room.
Speaker 4 (31:09):
So here's the thing.
Speaker 3 (31:10):
There is a fridge in his room, but he doesn't
realize that that's where I'm getting the Klondyke bars.
Speaker 4 (31:17):
Because here's the thing.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
If I if he knew how to get them, he
would park himself in a little Rolli chair in front
of the freezer with it open, and he would eat
every Klondike bar that's in there.
Speaker 4 (31:31):
He would absolutely God.
Speaker 3 (31:34):
Yeah, So yeah, I've I've pulled a few bits of trickery.
I have a I have a Klondike bar air quote
that's keto, so it doesn't have any sugar in it,
and I've slid those in and so it's so it.
Speaker 4 (31:49):
Probably won't kill him.
Speaker 3 (31:51):
If he binges on them, it's not going to be
good for him, and I don't want to clean up
the bathroom after that. But so I've I've come up
with workarounds. The funny thing about dealing with somebody with
Alzheimer's is it is a learning situation. From the minute
you start to the minute it's over. You are learning
the whole time. Wow, And I mean you have to
(32:14):
think it's funny. My dad, first of all, is a
very funny guy. And you know, we're at the point
in his journey where he still knows who I am,
and so for that I am incredibly grateful. But he
also knows where my room is now, so he can
find it and yell at me from the door.
Speaker 4 (32:34):
Hey, isn't it time for a Klondike bar? We're all
in this together. This is your Morning Show with Michael
