Episode Transcript

(00:04):
The Showgram with Jim Richards today withspecial guest host John Pole, News Talk
ten ten. I really hope thaton this Friday, you're either enjoying your
vacation, heading into your vacation,unplugging from work. How do you unplug
from work? We're going to getto that in a moment. It is
the Showgram. I'm John Paul,Jim Richards on vacation Friday and raining and

(00:28):
we're getting set for that Friday afternoonrush hour traffic. We'll keep you updated
here on News Talk ten ten,and after a three point thirty, we'll
do a little bit of bragging mbragging. I was told this week that
I am above average at something.I got the most positive feedback I could
probably ever get from someone who's nota boss or a family member, just

(00:53):
a third party that came in andsaid, well, here's what you're pretty
good at words. Honestly, I'mnot I'll get to the braking later,
but I'm just telling you most ofyou will never hear what was said to
me. Share that with you comingup after your three thirty, and I'll
let you brag a little bit aswell. It's a Friday, why not?
But first forty percent of Canadians don'tmind handling work related items while they're

(01:15):
on vacation. Who are you,Who are you? Why are you doing
that? It appears to the majorityof Canadians don't mind handling work related matters
on their own time. Ranstat humanresources advisory firm, says fifty nine percent
of adult Canadian employees that they surveyedearlier this year didn't mind handling work related

(01:37):
matters on their own time, sothat could be early in the morning or
late at night or on weekends.The number dropped to forty percent when it
came to vacations, but still fortypercent is huge. I believe when you
go on vacations, you turn thatdevice right off. And I know it's
hard to do, and I'm notgonna tell you I'm successful every time,
but I start off my vacation withthat in mind. That's the point.

(02:00):
No devices shut her down. Easyto say, hard to do. If
you're on vacation and you're checking inat work, I want to hear from
you four one six. I knowyou have your phone. I know you
can text because you're checking in atwork. Four one six, eight,
seven, two ten, ten.That's the phone number, text us at

(02:21):
seven ten ten, or you canuse Star talk on sell. That's Star
eight two five five. Are youpart of this forty percent that's on vacation
but still checking in at work?Are you part of the sixty percent that
doesn't. Do you feel ashamed orsomehow you will be devalued if while you're
away you actually just let work continuewithout you. Do you feel somehow your

(02:44):
boss is going to look down onyou for that? In forty percent say
when it comes to vacations, theywill do some work. The number is
slightly different between the sexes. Menwere more likely to do the work and
women not to do work on theirholidays, So men are connecting in more
than women are. Sixty percent ofmen surveyed said they felt pressured by the

(03:07):
boss to be available via email orphone well on vacation. Only forty five
percent of women said the same.So if you're on vacation right now,
I just want to know if you'vebeen checking in at work. Here's the
phone number four one six eight seventwo ten ten, Star talk on sell
that start eight two five y five, or you can text us at seven
ten ten. When I go onvacation, like The dream is you shut

(03:30):
off the device and you put allof your tension on that person or family
members you're with. Well, you'reon vacation, you kick back, you
read that book that you've been tellingyourself, Oh, I'm going to read
that book. You watch that moviethat you say, I'm going to watch
that movie. You do those choresaround the house that to you aren't chores.
They're your freedom, they're your relaxation. How are you doing that stuff

(03:53):
if you're still connected to work?I want to know if you're if you're
on vacation or go on vacation orlook, feel free to rat out your
spouse on this one. You know, if you you know if your husband
or wife when you're a vacation isalways looking over at their device, checking
see if the boss is calling,checking in to see if everyone's doing their
work, and they can't let itgo, don't be afraid to out them

(04:15):
today. You can call in tellme how we can help them unplug.
In fact, put them on thephone and I will walk them through how
they need to unplug. I willhelp you today. So on your vacation,
here's the question. Are you checkingin? Are you checking email?
Are you doing client calls phone numberfour one six eight, seven two ten
ten Star talk on sell that's Stareight two five five, or of course

(04:39):
you can text us at seven tenten. I thought it was interesting.
We tried to connect with the RANSTAThuman resources advisory firm and when we called,
no answer. Why they're on vacation. Why didn't they call us back?
They're not checking in. I likethat. I've got no problem with
that. I want text in saysI'm heading up north for a week off.
I will check my mail and takecalls from the office if need be.

(05:03):
Why would you do that? One? Why would you do that?
Just relax. The world will notend if you're gone, It will not
end, it will continue. Youneed to break, You need to relax.
Andre just pointed out that I comehere while I am on vacation.
That is true. However, thisis a vacation for me. This is

(05:26):
fun. This is like being atan amusement park for me. But when
I'm on vacation with my family,I try and shut everything off. I'm
not telling you I'm good at it. I might have a slight problem,
but I can tell you how tosolve your problem. If you're on vacation
and you're checking in, let meknow, or if you're just if you're
one of those people that can shutit down, tell us how you do
it, because forty percent of usneed your help, specifically the dudes four

(05:47):
one, six, eight, seven, two ten ten Star talk on sell
or you can text us at seventen ten it's three point fifteen and time
for news talk ten ten times,Savor Traffic show Gram it's jumpoll in for
Richards. So we have these devicesthat everyone says are great because they keep
us connected, but now we're doingmore work more often. Or is the

(06:08):
argument, hey, I can domore work more often, but I can
relax more because when I get backthere's not a big pile of work.
Or do you feel like we've seenthe TV shows, like if you watch
Suits on TV, it's all aboutlawyers. You watch that show, you
know, Harvey's always making everyone workharder, come in earlier, stay later.
Why are you leaving? Is thathow it is in your workplace?
Do you feel if you're on vacationand you don't check in that somehow that's

(06:30):
going to go black mark against yourname. I got to believe if you
have a good employer they want youto get out and they want you to
get rested. They actually don't wantyou to connect in. And I know
it's tired. You got a bigdeal on the go. Sometimes you know
you want to make sure you givethat good customer service, but you also
need a break. As we said, we have this survey forty percent of
US Canadians we'll check in with work, we'll do stuff while we're on vacation,

(06:56):
slightly more men than women. Howabout you, if you're on vacation,
how do you unplug or do youunplug? And if you don't unplug,
you're taking heat from your wife becauseyou're not unplugged, or you're like,
look, I'm plugged in because Idon't want to take heat from my
boss. How is that working out? I think you got to take a
break and cut the cord. Fourone six eight, seven two ten ten.

(07:18):
Start talk on sell that's start eighttwo five five, or you can
text us at seven ten ten.Greg, you go on vacation, my
friend, but you say you willcheck in once in a while on vacation.
Let me ask you the question,why, Greg, Why are you
checking in when you're on vacation.Greg's on vacation from this phone call.

(07:39):
There he is check in buddy,Yeah, sorry, I list to there
for a second. I'm I'm acommissioned sales reps. No, I think
it's important for myself to check inat least once a day in the evening,
depending on how the day's going.And when you're on VIC you buy

(08:00):
yourself, yeah, if you whenyou're on vacation, or you buy yourself,
or you with a husband or wifefamily. I'm with the family.
So how does your wife or husbandfeel when you check in and they see
you doing work when you're on vacation. Well, it's my wife. She
totally understands, She's okay with it. Yeah, But I mean it's all

(08:20):
it's all in small doses. Ofcourse, have you ever gone there.
If we're in the country, that'sone thing, But if we're overseas or
in the Caribbean, then that's alittle bit different. I wouldn't be checking
in too much when I'm down there. Is it pressure you're putting on yourself
or is it pressure your boss isputting on you? In your opinion,

(08:41):
it's it's pressure I put on myselfand my service to my clients. But
would your client's not you know,like clients are your friends too, right,
Would they not understand that you getsome vacation. They probably don't check
in with you when they're on vacation. I mean, I wouldn't be It's
like I said, it's all insmall doses. If there's a matter that

(09:05):
needs to be dealt with immediately,and it's it's something that they need,
and it's it's a big problem,then it has to be dealt with.
So you're okay with someone if itcan wait. If it can wait,
then it can wait. You gottajust play it by ear. Is it
that you don't trust the people atthe office to take care of it in
your absence? No, not necessarily. Well, then I guess you gotta.

(09:30):
You gotta trust them a little bit. Greg take a break, buddy.
I like someone pointed out that ifyou love what you do, it's
not work. That's true. Ifeel that way. Ps. Traffic's heavy
on the four hundred. That's fromSharon. Thanks for checking in, Sharon.
Thanks to the traffic tip. Weappreciate it. DeBie, you have
the job of being the big bossowning the company. You still gotta unplug,
honey, You still got unplugged.I know it's hard. I know

(09:52):
it's hard, but let me walkyou through this. You say you never
unplug, and your husband gets mad. I'm on his side. Yeah,
it's a conundrum when you own yourown business. Still, it's not the
world doesn't end. I own myown business, and I know what you're
saying. It's a fear you havedeep down that somehow when you leave,

(10:13):
it won't get done the way itneeds to get done. Or my bigger
fear is that I'll lose a dealbecause I wasn't there to get the deal.
You might, but you know whatyou need to rest. You need
to rest that brain of yours.If you're going to be the boss,
you need to know how to recharge. And if you don't, you're not
going to be a good boss.So I just I'm with your husband.
Don't be afraid. Put the devicein a bag, go somewhere, just

(10:35):
just ease into it. Try itfor like two days, just two two
days. I should be trying fortwo hours to start, all right,
Let's try it for three hours andthen we'll get into the days. What
kind of business do you run?I own a packaging company, and what
does your when your husband gets mad. Is it like a frown he gives
you, or is it like words? It's usually words. It's exasperation.

(10:58):
And he's been there. He usedto run any longer, so he understands.
But he does get a little bit. He tries to get me to
put things away and just forget aboutit. But it's hard. Well,
you're not alone, Debbie. Fortypercent of us will do it when we're
on vacation, but sixty percent ofus have actually figured out how to do
it. Of course, then there'sLaura who says she never gets to go

(11:18):
on vacation. Laura, you mustget to go on vacation at some point.
I take the vacations, but Iam self employed and my husband runs
a company of his own, Sofor the both of us, when we
go on vacations, we're still connected, but will cut down in terms of
the amount of time that we're connected. But I'm still on every day.
I'll do emails in the morning foran hour and at least make sure the

(11:41):
things are covered off and make myphone calls, and then for the rest
of the day I can relax withmy family. But that's the reality.
If I don't do that we don'tget paid and we can't eat. So
the reality is is your fear ofsomething not happening when you're not there overrides
your personal enjoyment. You've got togo before I can enjoy anything. I

(12:01):
need to know everything's okay over there. Well, it's not just that,
it's the matter of I'm a oneman show. I am self employed,
so if I'm not accessible, thenmy entire year can be shut down within
a matter of one major issue thatcomes up. It's just the nature of
my business. Well, I haveto be accessible. Without knowing your exact

(12:24):
business, Laura, I can't agreeor disagree with you, but I can
tell you this. We didn't inventvacation. For years, people have been
taking them, both customers and businessowners, and somehow we figured it out.
So I recommend give it a try. One texter says, my husband
just went into work for four o'clockmeeting while on vacation. Not impressed.

(12:45):
Oh, he's going to feel heatwhen she gets home. I hope it
was worth it. Someone with asuggestion as well, this is a good
one. I'm going camping next weekendfor four days, no cell phone reception.
I'm a site supervisor, and thewhole building can burn down when I'm
gone, and I won't know untilI get back. That's right, I
like, look, shut her down. You need the break. Those forty

(13:05):
percent of you who aren't shutting herdown shut it down. Three twenty three.
I will apologize to one weird AlYankovic in moments. I'll tell you
what I did and how sore Iam. The man's a genius. I
was wrong. Full apology. Next. Oh, that's good music right there.

(13:30):
Weird Al Yankovic possibly one of thegreatest musicians of our time. I
think you should have been a superBowl Hey love it yet. Weird Al
will be performing at the Casino ramon tomorrow night. He's in Hamilton tonight.
How did they not have him atSuper Bowl? Who was super Bowl

(13:52):
this year? Was it Rihanna orwas it? Who was it? Kelly
Clarkson, Katy Perry, Yeah,Dancing Sharks. Yeah. I like Katie
Perry too. She was good,But they should have weird A like.
Listen to this guy flawless. I'lltell you why. I gotta apologize to
him. It's my fault. Iwent to one of his shows and I

(14:16):
was impressed. Here's a couple ofthings. I will tell you about a
weird Al show if you've never been, because I know a lot of people
think, oh he's goofy and whatnot. But you have to admire his dedication
to perfection, whether it's a videohe tries to recapture from the original song
or just the song itself. Theguy's a perfectionist. He's also very smart.
If you listen to the words andhow he mix and mingles them and
tells the story, it's genius.But he is a guy that's dedicated to

(14:39):
perfection. That's why I've always likedhim. And he's fun. So I
went to one of his concerts andI arranged to go backstage, you know,
use the old radio card, andthey got me backstage passes, which
was nice. A couple observations froma weird Al concert. First of all,
you're gonna be impressed. You're gonnahave fun, doesn't matter how old
or young you are. A greatshow to take the kids too. They'll

(15:01):
have a blast, lots of video, lots of fun, great music.
Second, this kind of shocked me. Not gonna lie to you, lots
of hot chicks, like I reallyexpected it not to be any I thought
it's gonna be nerd fest like me, but it was like at any concert.
So we get backstage and me andmy bonehead friends are getting up to
weird Howl where we're gonna meet them. And I turned to them and say,

(15:22):
guys, we're gonna meet weird Al. We can't just do something straight
lace we gotta do something special.So when we get to weird Al,
I say, hey, I'll howabout a picture and he says, yeah,
of course, and we handed himthe camera and made him take a
picture of us. Everyone in theroom loved it, except weird Al.
He didn't find it quite as entertaining, but he was gentleman took a picture

(15:48):
with us afterwards. Nice guy,and weird Al, I know you're listening.
I know the tentacles of bell mediahave reached you and you're hearing my
apology. So everyone else turned downthe radio. This is just for weird
Al. Dude. I'm sorry.It won't happen again. And I hope
you have a great show this weekendand you're going You're gonna have some fun.
You are long live weird Al Yankovic. It's three point thirty and time

(16:12):
for the news. Talk ten toten News with Dave Bradley. I understand,

(16:34):
Ryan, it's Jean Bollian for JimRichards and this is kid rock.
I hate you and I guess Iguess this is classified as a hit song
for kid Rock. I understand you'reto blame for this. Yeah, I
mean this is the selection you wentwith Andre. You could have gone with
picture and the duet that he didlovely duet with Sheryl Crowe as opposed to
this. Wow, that's the worstcomeback ever. Yeah, how about this

(16:56):
good song? Okay, you makeone admission, one admission on the show,
and next thing you know, you'rewearing it for a week. Yeah.
Well, where's your Confederate flag?Because he's all about the Confederate flag.
I do not have one of those. Well you say that, but
I bet Jed Holkins I've got aJohn Dear Trucker hat. That's that.
I've got nothing. I see.You know you and I Ryan Doyle from

(17:18):
the Live Drivers with Us. Youand I have had this conversation before because
I got to sit in with youon your show. I will introduce your
guest in a moment, and wehad the discussion because Drew is your producer,
and Andre produces for Jim, andyou believe Drew is like the greatest
producer ever. And I've got towork with Andre, and I feel that
I don't know, it's really close, and we've been talking about having this
producer off. How do you determine? I came up with the idea,

(17:41):
all right, you and I justrandomly drop f bombs during the show.
We see what do I think?You just turned your microphone off? Is
what he just did? You see? It was fast, though, it's
good, very fast. I justlike so like the show will make no
sense to the audience because it'll beall cut up because he'll be dumping out
of delay. I feel like fivewords long in an hour. But we
just say, look, drop fbombs in the show and we'll see who's

(18:03):
the best. Or we could justput them in a cage and see who
wins. I think it would workeither. So the live drive is coming
up after four o'clock, and Isee you have a wonderful guest here.
Yeah, James Laidlaw is here.And James has told me his career is
golf and rock and roll. Ilike the sound of it already. Yeah,
we're gonna find out a little bitmore about your life between rock and
rolling golf after five o'clock this afternoon. So don't give too much away,

(18:23):
don't give pull all the good stuff. Now. If there's one thing I
like talking about, it's me.It's one of your favorite topics. Oh,
you'll fit in just fine around here. I could talk for hours about
me. What is coming up onthe live drive where you are going to
find out about James after five o'clock. But we're gonna start off with a
rather interesting conversation. And this oneis sort of a mystery wrapped in an
enigma, shrouded with another mystery ontop of it. The RCMP came out

(18:45):
today and they said, well,we're not going to name crash victims accident
car crash victims anymore. We're justnot going to publish any of the people's
names. They won't tell us whythey won't do it. We're going to
talk to our league on list edPrutch. He's gonna kind of give us
his take as to why they maybe doing this. But it's not the
end of the world not doing this. But to me, we're losing a

(19:07):
little something. I'll explain why afterthat sure, and it certainly makes it
hard for the media because you know, you want to tell the story and
you don't want that person that thinksmy husband drives that same car. You
kind of want them to be ableto know, Yeah, could it be
them? Yeah? Right, Sowe'll talk about that after four o'clock,
and then after four thirty. Aninety one year old war veteran made one
hell of a confession. We'll tellyou what that confession is after four thirty

(19:30):
and see if you have any sympathyfor ninety one ninety one. He's a
World War he's a World War twoveteran, and he made a confession about
something he did seventy years ago,getting a little something off his chest,
death bed confession. We're gonna tellyou about it after four thirty. I'm
looking forward to that. Also,Kevin O'Leary will be here of course.

(19:51):
After five thirty, we're also goingto speak with one of the newest members
of the Toronto Raptors, Corey Joseph. He's from Pickering. He's a great
guy. You're gonna meet him.He's at their newest point guard. All
right, Live drive on the wayafter four o'clock with James Laidlaw and of
course the world famous Ryan Doyle hereon News Talk ten ten. Now,
we said it was Friday right offthe top of the show. It's Friday.
You already knew that. But todaywe are trying to bring the show

(20:12):
in hot, trying to bring itin a ten out of ten. That
was the goal, ten out often. I'm gonna let you score it
right now. Text seven to ten, ten. Just give us a number
one out of ten. You canbe honest. Someone had said halfway through
the show we had dipped to athree. I feel we've brought it back
up because we're going to hand itoff to the live drive. I want
to know my handing them, youknow, A ten out of ten,

(20:34):
four out of ten, Like,where do we need to go? Text
us right now, seven ten,ten, score one out of ten,
ten being fabulous. We're not afraidto be judged. I'm not afraid,
not afraid. Give us your honesty, seven ten ten. We're also gonna
let you brag a little bit ifyou'd like, because it's the last few
minutes of the show. We'll letyou brag. Is there something you want

(20:56):
to brag about? It's the weekendhere's the phone number four one six eight
seven two ten ten star talk oncell Star eight two five five, or
of course you can text seven tenten. Here's what I'm going to brag
about. You're not going to believeit. In fact, it's something that
I believe the majority of you probablywill never hear. I heard these words,

(21:18):
You'll probably never hear them. It'sthe most positive feedback I have received
this week. I will tell youI'm above average and I'm bragging. Yes,
I understand that, and I havea special guest that will actually back
up my bragging. And let's welcometo the showgram My dentist, doctor Danielle
Rayu. Danielle, how are youtoday? I'm good? How are you?

(21:41):
I'm well. Now, you andI do not really have that close
of relationship, even though you aremy dentist. That's right. We never
see each other, just briefly.We never see each other. And you're
a lovely dentist. I know youtake care of my kids and my wife
and everyone loves you. You seethem lots. I do, but you
don't see me lots. Because Iam forty one years of age. And
this week the best news I gotthe most praise I received this week was

(22:06):
that at forty one, still nocavities. No cavities. That's right.
You're definitely part of the minority ofthe population. Now, that's definitely worth
braguing about. You are a professionaldentist in your professional opinion. How awesome
am I compared to the average personthat comes to the dentist? Like,
how many people over forty one don'thave cavities? Oh, it's such a

(22:29):
small percentage. Very few people cansay that at forty one. Is there
an opportunity for me to get anaward from some sort of dental association.
I'm not sure, but that's somethingto look into. I can do that
for you. I do know thatat your office, like many dental office,
they have the pictures of the kidson the wall. I feel maybe

(22:51):
there needs to be a picture ofme as an example to the kids on
the wall. That would be agood idea. You could be in the
center of the bulletin boards. Ilike that. We let's schedule a photo
shoot. Yeah, we should dothat for sure. Now people are going
to call four one, six,eight, seven, two ten ten uh
star talk on seal and text usat seven ten ten and they're going to
try and tell us that they're they'reyou know, over forty one and they

(23:15):
don't have cavities. Should I believethem or not? What would I need
to ask them? Like? Whata professional question? Could I ask them
to find out if they're telling methe truth or not? You know,
it's well, if there's a lotof people that say they don't the probably
not telling you the truth, orthey haven't been to the dentist in a
while, Oh, that's true.They might not know. You know,
if you haven't gone to the dentistin three years and the last time you

(23:37):
went you had none, that's good. But regular maybe asked the last time
they've been to the dentists. Ialso want to point out that your office
gave me great reviews on my flossingtechniques, which is something that as a
dental client for years, you guysare always telling people to floss. I
feel it's good that I have actuallymastered that and was not told to foss
anymore. Well, no, yeah, I know it's good that you've mastered

(24:00):
the technique and you know, continuedoing what you're doing because is obviously working.
Well. I appreciate I know you'reoff today, so I appreciate you
calling in. Not a problem,Thank you. I'll see you back in

out you're not helping me. Mykids have to go to college. Get
out what's happened? I just brushand I floss. I follow the recommendation.
That's all I do. How areyou bragging today? You got something
