Transcripts For WNYW Good Day New York 20160125

It was wild, the visibility, well, it is a blizzard. The visibility down to nothing, but at the same time content to be indoors. If you had to go outside, good luck to you. It is unwise to go outside. I went for a walk. I was going to starbucks. I thought they would be happy. I made it half way. Rosanna because it is so cold. Greg well, it didnt seem that smart. I was walked in the street. Rosanna new yorkers are intepid. We get the cabin fever. Lets go for a walk. Take the stroller. Greg meanwhile, what type of impulses are you receiving down there on the beach . Rosanna i had storm preps going on. I was dealing with flight cancellations. This is you and your friend. Rosanna turks. It was lovely. Greg you look like, well, you are hotties. Rosanna well, water was so blue an the sapped so perfect. I hatted to think about what was happening in new york, but i have to tell you, we got there thursday and by thursday night on the computer and a friend of mine gave me a headsup that my flight would be cancelled and i wept into crazy mode trying to get home. It could take days to get home. But i tried to enjoy the moment. That is a spectacular i ie star hotel and working the compute. You and matilda sipping tequila. Rosanna how do you know . Greg you are looking great. Rosanna we had a great time. It is beautiful. It is only two and a half hours away from new york city. For a minute or two i had fomo. Greg that is fare of missing out. I hope it didnt get in the way of culture. Rosanna oh, no. You should go. Kids like it there. Greg the kids were building the snowmen around the city. We have one to show you. This was constructed in new york rosanna i recognize that person. Greg that is me as a first grader. I wanted to make one yesterday. I was helped stranded motorists. Rosanna people you didnt know . Greg hey, you have a problem, can i help . They said please, please. Rosanna did you charge . Greg someone offered two hundred bucks. Just kidding. I helped a person, a little bit. A little bit. They had gotten a head start. Rosanna in the meantime, new yorkers need help this morning because well many of the streets are cleared and this is a big, big town, there are still lots of areas in queens digging out. Some areas we are getting the tweets and facebook posts, they have not seen a sanitation truck in days. Greg people are upset. By the way, long island rail i thought that the snow is cleared off the tracks by the trains. It is complicated. People arup set. Half of the long island rail road is out of commission right now. Which is unexpectable. Particularly if you are paying a couple hundred bucks for a monthly ticket. Rosanna yes, a tweet from shannon is sitting out there in the cold and waiting for a train to stop. It is absolutely insanity. Greg the guys are working hard, but us many mistakes at the managerial level. We are going back to the streets in queens. We are hearing, even the mayor that is patting himself on the back since this started, acknowledging there is a problem in queens with snow removal. The union claims that the city made deals with the private companies to go in and clean the 2ary roads, the little ones. They are fighting the city, give us the men and women and well clean the roads and why giving it to the private companies. Greg this is the union chief, would like to see more money and resources. Under the last administration, they tied in private contractors to do blocks. What happens is that these private contractors are with waste of money. I have been saying it for a long time. They are paid if it doesnt snow, paid extra if they are called to do the blocks. We are not supposed to touch those blocks. They fall so far behind and then going to Public Employees and rosanna what blocks . The tertiary streets, the side ones. The main roads are handled by the Public Employees. Well, look, it is a complex issue. Rosanna but a lot of people are not happy about the comments on the show. They are thinking it is a political power play over clearing the streets. Well, some streets are saying forget about the school buses, the kids need a snowmobiles to get to school in queens. It is impossible to get their kids to school. Greg take a look. The is controversy. It seemed like the Sanitation Department wasnt clearing the certain streets on purpose. There was an investigation into that. I drove through nassau county. The pictures are discouraging. Rosanna and east new york, brooklyn, they are claiming that the streets are not touched for days. Greg we had two and a half feet of snow. This is a major, major event. Rosanna in the meantime, it is difficult just to navigate the streets for those that have streets cleaned, crossing at the corners, you have to be a ballet dancer to jump the snow. Greg yes, a lot of stuff is going on. Mikey, what is going on . Mike the second biggest storm that we have ever seen, 26. 8 inches of snow. It is time to clean up. Thats right through northern new jersey and the boroughs and long island and outside of that 1020 inches in the lighter pink areas and way to the north just an inch up to ten inches. As expected snow totals were huge. Anyhow, it is done. Here. We have to get above freezing. We are almost there. 31 central park. 25 in poughkeepsie. 19 only in monticello. It is going to be another cold start to the day, but it ends up being just a little above freezing here. The winds are not doing a lot. Light and variable. Coming in from the north and northwest. We have a mainly clear sunshine. A lot of sunshine out there today. High pressure is going to pretty much lock in over the north east and tristate region as well. The next area of low pressure is headed in your direction and the clouds will be increasing here, really tomorrow, later in the day that the clouds are rolling in and showers are passing by late tuesday into early wednesday as the front is swinging by and after wednesday, you are going to see the temperatures coming back down again. Yeah, we need to get the warmer temperatures and or rain to get here. It is taking time. High temp up to 37 in the city. This is normal for this time of the year. Partly cloudy and cold tonight 1830. Through the next 7 days high of 37 today. 45 tomorrow. 42 on wednesday. Small shower chances there and dry for thursday friday and next weekend right now looking like it is relatively warm. Greg thank you, mike woods. Kimball land, rapper, singer, little bit and who knew he was an inventor. Hes got a very interesting device that he just brought good day new york.

Okay, so, every day we walk around put on head phones, the head phone game, how do you come up with something thats different from the head phones phone. Greg whatd we need. Rosanna this is a backpack . It is about feeling. We always go, we go out to clubs, bose systems in the cars. Rosanna i have it on right now, you people just put the music on and i feel a vibration going on, a party on my back. Yes. Greg it is like a big canteen. It is not that . No, it is not that. Greg do you remember the movie earthquake, this is providing an ed edit of music. It is the biggest thing. It is like walking in a club. Rosanna yes, and my back is it is their putic. The other stuff is bad on the hearing. You can feel everything. Greg where at and how much is it . It is not out yet. I am just show casing it. It is building a craze. Greg when roughly, when do you estimate . Around close to five months from now. I want to tweak a couple of things. Rosanna how much . 299. Walk down the street . It is taking the head phones to another level. Rosanna you are always thinking of something new. Music is what i do. But when i made the book emperor of sound, sound is i was watching the steve jobs movie, i watch that allot, computers and do with what we do and movies and sounds it helps with health. By the way low ter volume on music. And feeling like it is higher. Rosanna my back is having a great time. You are feeling the vibration of the music. Greg does it feel like a bib . Rosanna no. I feel like a backpack . Put on the head phones with it. Greg it is not shaking yet. Rosanna hes going to shake you up. [laughter] see how magic can reproduced. Greg im not a dancer, but this thing vibrates. It changes your perspective. Greg this is pleasurable. We trick the systems on feeling good. You are looking cool. Greg are you sure . That is the new way. If you go home, the kids will be like dad, what is that . Rosanna this is not out when the new album is coming out . I want you to feel me. That is the slogan of what i am about now, feeling me. And whatever you like, if you like sony head phones or beats, this is not in the category. Yes. Steve jobs movie, what about hollywood and a lot of folks upset not enough diversity in the nominations, your take . I havent studied it. I started to watch the movies nominated. I am still watching the big short and going through and wait a minute, i got to understand what is the protest about. I havent got into it. Greg i have seen room. Rosanna the problem is, there are a lot of good movies and they all have their own problems, too. They are not all perfect movies. I havent gotten into the debate. I dont know what is going on. I love movies and i want to see the movies that were nominated and then get to what is going on. Rosanna years since you released an album and what is back to movies, i watched the expendables, sylvester stallone, you have the original crew, the same people, you know, and im like, the word evolves and the person who steps forward is the one who stands, you know, the champion, and i felt like i need to start a new crew. I already built that crew. What is the Younger Generation like, dad, you have to get somebody my age. That is a challenge. A lot of people want to stick to what works, what works sometimes dies down and dilutes. Rosanna Music Industry is in tough times. It is tough times on how you make it. It is how you conduct yourself around it. Your stuff heard without the people rosanna without paying. People will pay for a good product. They dont want to pay for something that is not good. Now you have to demo your music and show case your talent. Okay, put your sound out on the cloud. Oh, i like this and then they go to itunes. Greg we are enjoying your music on empire. I dont know about this. Im getting used to it. It shakes when you listen to the music. This little knapsack. Rosanna can we listen to empire on that . Anything. It is blue tooth. Greg keep it up. We can watch, when does empire start up again . Summertime, i believe. They are shooting now. Rosanna oh, do you know something . I dont know nothing. I wish i did. This one, i think is the second half of season two. Greg when you leave here i want you to meet jonathan phlegming. Jonathan went to prison for something he didnt do. Hes trying to make it in the music business. Just have a meeting or a cup of coffee. Rosanna hes a nice man and he brought his group today to show case. Hes coming up later on. He got out and hes a great guy. Rosanna we are trying to get his band out there. Greg someone was killed in new york and they said he did it. He was in florida. Rosanna there is proof he was in florida but never showed it to the prosecutor. Okay. That is a deeper conversation. Greg hes got a lot of life to make up. Rosanna it is blue monday. Greg after new years, we are supposed to feel depressed today. I put a smile op your face. Rosanna the bills are coming in. But we have the music on our backs. You are ready to dance. Greg we are meeting experts on progresso, ingredients like bacon into 22 light soups, so if you want 100 calories or less per serving do what we do. Make it progresso. Look at this sweet face. So sweet. Ok, were going to need a napkin gooey, flaky, happy. Toaster after trying brookside chocolate, people talk about it online. Love at first taste. I would liquefy it and bathe in it. Curse you, brookside your nefarious plans have succeeded. Nefarious . Are we still talking about chocolate . Brookside. Talk about delicious. And you may not know what im talking about, but, uh. The yogurt made from your milk, is delicious. Mmmm, yoplait. Greg okay, that happy music, it is not going with the images. We allow ourselves to feel depressed in january. The holidays are gone. Rosanna the bills are coming in. Oh no, whatd i do. Greg the summer feels like it is never going to happen and we ourselves go. It is monday morning january 25th, this is the most how do we turn it around. We are meeting the experts in the field of happiness. Rosanna dr. Jeff, hes a professor of Behavioral Medicine and gretchen, the happiness project, fomed by a popular podks and a book, better than before, you are the spokesperson on happiness. Thank you. How do we turn the blues around . Think about your body. Your physical experience colors your emotional experience. Get enough sleep. It is cold. You might need an extra layer. Greg get enough sleep on sunday that is tricky. That is Binge Watching night. Dont do it. Greg we feel anxious about the week ahead. Think about, if you ease into the week, instead of a big assignment due on monday morning, schedule, minor tasks or things that will help you ramp up gradually. Plan. You have everything mapped out. That reduces the angtyty. Start the day with xer Staten Island and opening the curtains. Turn on the light ls. Playing music. Putting on good day new york. Rosanna i like that. Because the energy is infection and at the end of the energy, the energy gets the neurotransmitters going, the happy ones and we are ready to start the day. Rosanna for us, it is hard to get out of bed at 4 30 and everything is dark. I have to tiptoe around. Lulu the dog i dont want her up. We dont have the option of exercising. So music. I put a little music on. That gets you know feeling differently. Listening to upbeat music is a quick way to intervene in the mood. It does have affects. Greg we need more tips on being happy. Get the sleep on sunday night, exercise. Keep it coming. You are happier when you make others happy. Help someone else. Greg check. What else . Fun, have a lunch with a friend, drinks after work. Greg oh, drinks after work. It is 5 00 some where. Watch out for the drinks after work. Limit the calories. Rosanna if you drink so much you are not feeling so good. It is not about the drink, it is a plan and looking forward to seeing the person and being in control of the schedule and things of pleasure. One of the points, you cant get to the gym or exercising a lot, like greg does every morning, break out a hundred sittups, a hundred pushups. Rosanna you do . Greg im iron man. It is important. Greg hes flattering me. That doesnt happen. Well, it happens for me. Greg going back to any part would go back, knowing what you know know. Some day you will look back on this and rosanna these are the good old days. Time travelling of the mind. It is something that a lot of people started do, going back to the happy moments and carrying them forward. We know more than we knew then and use that wisdom. It is important to understand we deserve happiness. A lot of people feel, you know, my life has been about being blue or darkness, but you have to come into the light because you deserve that no matter what happened in your life you deserve it. Greg some people like having problems, right . They like to focus on the negative and it colors their take control of your thoughts. Rosanna what are you up to . Making and breaking habits. A lot of things we know about how o to be happier but we dont do it. How do the habits make it eedzier and not battling with the will power. The cdc shows that 50 of the illnesses are based on our life styles. So we have to begin to break the bad habits and start little ones well do better. Greg thank you both so much. The podcast . Any where, itunes, sound cloud, happier with grech gretchen. Im happier. Rosanna thank you so much. We appreciate it. Greg did you see what she did for weekend. Happiness. It does. Vitamin d does it. Sun is good. How about the tequila. Greg to the picture. Rosanna stop. Greg you look good and feel good. That is true. One of my favorite people is coming up on the show, b.

Rosanna well, the next book, boy oh boy, its a beautiful book by someone we both know and love, b. Smith. Greg yes, beautiful people. Media professionals. B. Smith is well suffering from alzheimers. Not long ago we were worried about her. She wents missing for a day. The book is called before i forget. Goodbye. Her husband is helping her along the way. They dropped by not long ago. Thank you for having us. I feel there is misinformation out there about alzheimers. Most people donts realize two out of three people are women that have alzheimers. It is a disease that particularly impacts women. Africanamericans are twice as likely to have the disease. It is also if you are over 85 and you are black, basically you have a 50 50 chance of getting the disease. Every 60 seconds someone in the country is diagnosed. It is hidden because the people dont want to talk about brain persons dignity in the sense of health. Greg why is it more in the Africanamerican Community . Stress, lack of exercise and health. Greg b, how do you characterize your health . I would characterize, think about it as being much easier than i thought it would be. I just try to do the best that i can do as the real thing about it, shes a person now she can do so many things so effortlessly and now has to work at doing things, but the attitude, the most important thing about people who are going on this journey shes dealing is with the caregivers and others is keeping a positive attitude and being patient and what shes experiencing is totally different in terms of being able to control certain things she didnt have to think about before and now shes working at things. Honestly, the big thing is understanding that this is something that we have to help a person who has it just feel good about every situation daytoday. Greg the title before i forget. Are there things that the two of you are sharing that are you might be sharing otherwise, you know, forgive me, is time limited here . You know, we do Work Together and i understand a lot about, mean, i had so many different, you know ups and downs. Right, right. The thing is, no one owns the future. Is there challenges ahead and more challenges, yes, but the real thing is what we want to do about having this book and breaking down the stigmas and getting funding and getting people to participate in the drug trials. Greg i heard living with someone in alzheimers it is like a beginning of a long goodbye. Is that what is happening here in a way . You look at it as a journey. You look at it as a challenge ahead. Some people frame it that way. Sweetie and i are positive. We know that there are ever optimistic for the future. Greg howd you meet . We met in her restaurant 2 t years ago on valentines day. Greg you have had a great partnership. When did you notice something was happening . Little signs of difference. Forgetting certain things or repeating one sellf. Or leaving my wallet on the top of the car. Greg oh, i did that yesterday. We need to get you tested. Greg but then it becomes more serious . What happens when it is your partner opposed to a child to a parent or a brother to a sister, you are there 24 7. We were like this. To feel it is one hand clapping and that is when the bells go off. And then now theres a test, but it is expensive and not everyone can afford it to give you the understanding of what you are dealing with. Greg b was missing 12, 14 hours. 17 hours. Greg so you were between long island and the city and a lot of us were friektenned for her. We had unbelievable response. I call add dear friend of mine, your boss, lew, can you put something out. When he put the word out, it was a wild fire. It went viral. Part of the reason shes here today was because lew put the sort of got behind finding her. We want to make sure that the disease is in the Rearview Mirror in society. You have to talk about it. You have to understand that the brain you save may be your own. Before i forget. B. Smith and dan, thank you so very much. Greg so a couple of years ago we met jonathan. He wept to jail for nearly 25 years for a crime he didnt commit. He was arrested back in 1989 and the thing of it is, he was not guilty. The evidence proved he was in florida at the time of the killing. This is jonathan exonerated and let out of jail. Rosanna that was about two years ago. Greg now hes rebuilding his life and off to a pretty good start and making inroads in Music Industry. Jonathan fleming, welcome back to good day new york. Thank you for having me. Rosanna you are looking good. How is life treating you . It is good. Greg so the state tried to make good with you on what happened.
