Sunday, August 13th at Traditions of the Glet in Johnson City, New York. [ Music ] >> Mornings are a special time for me. My rituals are simple, a good cup of coffee, soft classical music, and a little daily feature in our local newspaper called, Advice with Granny Atta. >> Dear Granny Atta, help, I don't know what to eat. I keep reading what I can and cannot eat, but now I'm so confused. I've tried slimming shakes, protein bars, low fat, light, whole grain, gluten-free, vegan, all protein, short of wearing my mouth shut diets, and I'm still gaining weight. I have eaten once a day, six times, three times, but nothing works. It doesn't matter if I walk or if I sit. The calories are piling up, taking over my life. I am out of control, berserk. Ready to wave a white flag and jump into the middle of an eight-layer chocolate decadent cake. What am I doing wrong? My doctors tell me I'm fine the way I am, but I know they are lying. Lying, I'll never be skinny, never, never, never. Tell me what to do, Granny Atta. I am stuck at five feet, 10 inches at 124 porko pounds. Show me the way, sick and tired of being sick and tired. >> Dear sick, how delightful. Starving yourself into a lovely coffin. My dear, you are seeing the wrong kind of doctor. What you need is a good psychiatrist, specializing in eating disorders and a dietician. Your weight is just fine, dear. It's your mental image that needs a reality check. We unfortunately see ourselves in distorted ways, sometimes reaching back to our childhood where we still try to live up to certain family members' expectations. My advice to you, and anyone really, is to avoid the so-called diet foods. Eat wholesome, unprocessed products that are found in the parameters of your grocery store. Avoid the middle aisles. They are full of falsely marketed garbage, deliberately trying to confuse us into spending money for the promise of perfection. Hopefully, one day you'll learn to shed the victim mentality and grow into a more confident human being. Good luck to you, honey, and have a nice day. Granietta. (gentle music) (gentle music) - You, anybody home? - Ladies and gentlemen, Parler City Chef extraordinaire, Bula de Champs. (audience cheers) - Oh, thank you, thank you very much. - Oh, what is this? - Mm, beautiful, delicious pineapples. - I see that. - You brought five. - Well, that's because I can't get enough of this lovely exotic fruit. - I see. - I've made so many lovely dishes with this Hawaiian delicacy this past week. - I will share two with you today. - Okay. - One is a lovely spicy pork with pineapple salsa. - And the other? - These wonderfully wonderful piña colada popsicles. - Oh, this has rum in it, doesn't it, Bula? - How did you know? - Wild guess. - Here, I brought some for you. - Here is one for now, and I'll put the rest in the freezer. - Mm, oh, this is good, but very potent. - There's a lot of love in that little old popsicle. - A lot of rum, you mean? - Well, my hand may have tilted a little bit. - Had a few of these? - Oh, honey, if you have to cloud help me. - So how is Stefan? - Well, we are getting ready for his defense. - I just don't understand how you can harbor a fugitive who stole your life savings. - And allegedly stole my life savings. He told me the whole story, Brie. I believe Stefan is innocent. It was a total misunderstanding. - That's what he told us. - Well, I believe him. - So where is the money from your savings? - Well, he told me that he only had a little time to hide the money before Interpol had the police come. - Uh-huh. - Don't you see? He didn't take my money, he hid it. - Well, did he tell you where? - No, Brie, he did not, but I trust him. - Well, at least he had that pretty pineapple brooch from him. - Oh, no. I haven't taken it off since he gave it to me. I love the shiny rhinestones. - It is quite sparkly. His trial is scheduled for the end of the month. Right now, we have to wait since he's under house arrest. - So in the meantime? - In the meantime, I have a household of men next door. My ex-husband asked our son, Paulie, and his husband, Bobby, to stay with us too. - Well, that's something. The four of them in your home? - Why do you think I'm eating popsicles over here? (gunshots) - Is that coming from your house? Mama, I'm dialing 9-1-1. - Hey, mama. - Again. - Stay tuned for the continuing episodes of Bula de Champs, Chef extraordinaire. (upbeat piano music) - Greetings fans, we're here with another episode of A Day in the Life, where each week we meet a celebrity and find out what they do all day. Today, we're honored to have as our special guest, Prince Charles, heir to the British throne. Welcome to the show, Prince. - Thank you. You can call me Charles. - Oh, wonderful. So Charles, tell us what you do all day. - We Americans really have no idea. - Well, I have a charitable foundation that takes up some of my time, and there's my boys and now the grandchildren that need some looking after. And every Thursday afternoon, I go down to the stables for a polo match. But mostly I wait around. - Wait around? Wait around for what? - Well, you know. - Um, no, I don't know. It's that elephant in the room that we Brits don't like to talk about. - Sorry, I still don't understand what you're getting at. What specifically are you waiting around for? - Oh, okay, I'll just come right out and say it. I'm waiting around for my mother to kick the royal bucket so I can become the king of England. There, I said it. I finally said it. Hallelujah. It's taken me 70 years, and it's like lifting a great weight from my shoulders. - I'm free at last. - Wow, and it happened right here on our show. Can you tell us exactly how one waits for his mother to die? What activities does that entail? - Well, I walk around the castle checking my watch a lot. I scan the papers for news of any impending epidemic somebody exposed the old girl to. I even watch the sky for any wayward airlines and meteors that might come crushing down to earth. It's got to happen someday, and maybe today will be the day. - Oh, that's wonderful. I admire your positive attitude. I'm sure many of our viewers will see you as an inspirational role model as they wait for their own parents to snuff it. Can you offer them any advice? - Hang in there. Those old codgers can only last so long. Your day of glory is coming, and the crown will soon be upon your head. What a motivational message. - Oh, excuse me. I have to take this. It might be the coroner. Hello. Hello. - Hello, Charles. - Hello. Hello, Mom. - Is that any way to greet your mother and queen? - Sorry, Mom. How are you today? - Not bad for a 91-year-old lady. - Not bad. Does that mean there's some hope? Maybe a call, perhaps. - Mom, Mom, are you developing a spot of black plague? Come on. Hurry up, Mom. I've been waiting to be King my whole life. - Oh, Charles. You're such a court jester. You're still just my immature little boy. How could you possibly take on the duties of the crown? You couldn't even handle your own marriage. - Oh, no, Mom. Not this again. - Oh, yes, Charles. This again. Let's not forget that you married Diana, the fairest mated in the kingdom. And you screwed it up, royally. - I know, Mom. We've been through this a million times. - She ditched you for John Travolta and JFK, Jr. and that awful dirty character. - You don't have to remind me, Mom. - And while she was traipsing around the world, embarrassing me in the tabloids, those poor boys of yours grew up unattended. When are you going to reign in that rapscallion, Prince Harry? - He's just sewing his royal oats. - Ah, at least Prince William seems to have turned out to be a respectable young man. Why don't you follow him as an example? - He's my son. He's supposed to follow me as an example. - Luckily, through my intervention, that never happened. I think we should just skip right by you and make William the king after my demise. - No, fair. No, fair. I've been waiting my whole life. You're always trying to ruin my fun. - Well then, you'd better get onto the straighter narrow immediately, put on some nice clothes, and go to some charity event with that new wife of yours. What's her name again? - Camilla. - Oh yes, Camilla. Oh, she's nice enough, but she's no Diana. - I know, Mom. I hear that every day of my life from every person I meet. - Try not to embarrass me, and the rest of the family, and maybe I'll consider croaking in time for you to enjoy a few brief years on the throne before William takes his rightful place there. Of course, in order for that to happen, you'll have to have the good judgment to die a quick and graceful death yourself. - Yes, Mom. I promise. - No more fair tricks, young man. - No, Mom. I promise. - Good. Now, do you have anything else to say to me, Charles? - Oh, come on, Mom. Don't make me say it right now. - I'm on live television. - Charles, say it this instant. - Okay, Mom. Long live the queen. - Thank you, Charles. That's been so much to me. - Goodbye, Mom. - Well, Charles, that was very enlightening. How often do you get those phone calls? - Every day. Twice on Sunday. - Well, I'll let you get back to your waiting around. I just have one last question. - Yes. - John Travolta! - Ahhh! - Ahhh! (upbeat music) - I'm very happy to have our two guests on our show today, two out of three band members from the band called Thoughts as Devices. We'd like to welcome Mike Perel and Greg DiAngelo to our show. Phil McGovern, the third band member, had to, well, he has to support these two guys. So tell me a little bit about the background. How did you get together? What is the story behind Thoughts as Devices? - We weren't like non-stop together, like Greg would be in several projects, I'd be in several projects, and when we had time, we would get together, then one day we'd say, "Oh, you want to do this regularly?" - Which I can't even remember when that was. - Yeah, I can't remember what that was. - You play the drums. Mike, you play? - I play the dry guitar, which is a regular guitar with no effects except I have an octave pedal that makes it sound like bass, but I don't do too many effects usually. And Phil plays the wet guitar or just lead guitar. - What genre do you use in your band? - I mean, if you had a classified under one specific category, it would be alternative, but if you're talking about what our influences are, it's a bunch. I learn how to play drums from Queen. So I think it was Roger Taylor, so he was my first influence, then I moved to the Dave Matthews band, and then Carter Buford was my main influence. And then a few years later, Buddy Rich, so I like jazz a lot. I also like the independent drummers, like Dennis Chambers, JoJo Mayer, so kind of like funk, and then you have some drum and bass there. So I'm kind of all over the place. - My influences back when I was young in Long Island, when I was a toddler up to seven or eight, my mother listened to Motown. She may have had a lot of R&B and soul train sort of things, but also maybe a couple Beatles records, Elvis Presley and a few other things, and a lot of gospel. And then when I got to Vestal and started hearing FM radio up here in Binghamton, New York, which oddly enough is sometimes very similar to the way it was way back when, but that's a different topic. But I was very into Paul McCartney and Wings, and Stevie Wonder, Prince Michael Jackson, the Beatles, and then when I became a teenager, I started getting in the alternative music and rock, like some Pink Floyd, Echo and the Bunnyman, Kate Bush, the Cure, REM, stuff like that. And then as I got even older, instead of just growing old gracefully, I started getting into electronica and drum and bass and dubstep, all sorts of stuff as you get going, just to keep fresh and that sound old and dry and boring. The first song that we're going to be hearing is called Personality D. I love the title of this Personality D. Tell me a little background about it. What made you write this song? Well, that's kind of like a Power Pop influence song, like one melodically that my honey influences by Paul McCartney and Wings, Jellyfish or Weezer or those sort of bands. They have interesting, the craze, they have interesting ways of putting melody together. The Beatles did it kind of, where it was kind of happy and sad and weird mixed together, I guess, for the time. But it's a song based on not the disorder personality D, but like a question which personality are you going to use today? And I have some friends that have gone through depression or self-doubt and things like that. Sometimes when you hang out with them alone, they're really strong and assertive and really funny. And then when they're around other people or have a challenge before them, they tend to kind of duck back and kind of give up. So the song is kind of based on being into that aspect of the personality, the person that's strongest. And at the same time, the other meaning is it's weird being in relationships with people you barely know, but you have no choice but to go into these relationships you're kind of dragged into them. As our video shows on YouTube for the song, you kind of get dragged into these relationships that you're not sure about, but you have no choice but to go into them. And so a lyric from the song says, "I don't know why I trust you, but somehow you understand me. It's a combination of those friends talking to us that we're trying to support and a combination of that with us not being so sure of all the weird relationships around us, but you're human and you need them." So it just depends on what personality is going to be used, the public one or the whole one, and that's what that song is about, a rock, a power pop sort of song. I don't know if I can trust you, but somehow you understand me, it's nothing that you do, maybe it's just something that I love. I don't know if I can trust you, but somehow you understand me, I don't know if I can trust you, but somehow you understand me, I don't know if I can trust you, but somehow you understand me, I don't know if I can trust you, but somehow you understand me, I don't know if I can trust you, but somehow you understand me, I don't know if I can trust you, but somehow you understand me, I don't know if I can trust you, but somehow you understand me, I don't know if I can trust you, but somehow you understand me, I don't know if I can trust you, but somehow you understand me, I don't know if I can trust you, but somehow you understand me, I don't know if I can trust you, but somehow you understand me, I don't know if I can trust you, but somehow you I don't know what that you want, you don't know when you deserve it, change for a song I add once again, change for a song I add once again, change your tactics yet once again, change for a song I add once again, change for a song I add once
