Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, it's Michael. Your morning show can be heard live

w DOV and Wilmington and Dover, Delaware or wgst AM
seven twenty the Voice in Middle Georgia. And We're gonna
need some blankets. News Radio six fifty k e n I, Anchorage, Alaska.
We'd love to be a part of your morning routine.
Now enjoy the podcast.

Speaker 2 (00:21):
Well two three starting your morning off right.

Speaker 3 (00:26):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding.
Because we're in this together.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
This is your morning show with Michael Geljorno.

Speaker 3 (00:37):
One day, you're gonna do it? What's that? Because because
because you know it's funny, you should say that, Because
I looked at it this tornent every morning when that airs,
I go because because because because we've done all right,
seven minutes after the hour, goofballs. We are one and all.

(00:58):
Welcome to Monday, July, the fourteenth year of our Lord.
I'm gonna do something different. Okay, oh man, what do
you do? Why what are you doing? You're just playing?

Speaker 4 (01:07):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (01:08):
Because I worked hard as an engineer. This weekend is ird.
You do not like this one.

Speaker 5 (01:12):
It's very tiny it's got a lot of mid it
doesn't have the low wind that the the.

Speaker 3 (01:18):
There could be a setting on it. I haven't messed
with I don't know. You messed with that thing for
a year and a half.

Speaker 5 (01:25):
Yeah, but it's like an old clunker that you put
in the garage. Rebuild this thing one these days when
I get some money in time.

Speaker 3 (01:34):
I like when I play engineer. Well, they used to
make it look so hard.

Speaker 5 (01:37):
And the engineers don't appreciate when you put see I
just heard that and you snap crackled.

Speaker 3 (01:42):
Oh yeah, but I had to that kind of made
it flatter. It's a little more flat. You probably like
it better, don't. You probably need it. You got a
high pass filter on that. Yeah, there is. I just
I'm not going to mess but I just you know,
I had some fun this weekend. I took I I
spoke at a wonderful church on Saturday. We had a
really glorious time. Came home, watched the Cubs of the

(02:05):
Yankees all weekend. Yeah. Then I just got a wild
hair to come in here and be an engineer. Yes,
it's a fun engagement this weekend. Yes, God was good,
all right? Uh Trump, said Bongino. And him spoke on Sunday.
Bongino's in good shape. According to the President, He's a
team player. Something's gotta give, right, I mean, you know,

(02:30):
we talked a little bit about this, the bescent fight
with Elon Musk, and then the President didn't take a side,
or did he take beissents? And then we all know
that Elon Musk on Googoo fran and Ali. Now you
gotta fight with Pam Bondi and we don't even know
where Cash Bettel is. I mean, okay, so bon joni'son, Joni,

(02:50):
Bongino's good. How's uh, how's Cash Battel doing all this distraction?
We're talking with the Republican consultant, Chris Walker about that.
A little bit later on Homeland Security Secretary Christy Nome
is insisting President Trump does not want to dismantle FEMA,
but rather improve it. And it is one year since

(03:14):
the assassination attempt. We were in Saint Louis, Nick and
I and it was a doubleheader between the Cardinals and
the Cubs, I believe, yeah, Cubs, and we were taking
a I was taking a nap between games when we
got the phone call. Turn on television, but I think
everybody kind of remembers where they were one year ago

(03:36):
today when Donald Trump the assassination attempt was made. Donald
Trump certainly remembers where he was and reflected a little
bit about it from the tarmac. Listen, well, I guess
we can't after all that, we can't listen. See, not

(03:57):
even my engineering skills spare us that. Well, this looks
like you were working on the wrong piece of equipment. No,
it was the right one. It was just for some
reason at reset.

Speaker 4 (04:07):
I'm going to have a meeting with the Secretary General.
It's coming in tomorrow. But we basically are going to
send them various pieces of very sophisticated military and they're
going to pay us one hundred.

Speaker 3 (04:19):
Percent for them.

Speaker 4 (04:21):
And that's the way we wanted and we've been trying
to get that again by I don't think Biden never
asked one. We're in for about three hundred and fifty billion.
Europe is in for a hundred billion. That's a lot
of money one hundred but they should be in actually
for more than us.

Speaker 3 (04:35):
So that's president equipment. They're going to reimpse us President
discussing the military equipment that's going to go. That was
not the clip I was looking for. Well, this one
is freaking out through the Associated press. Perhaps we'll go
to this one and it will work.

Speaker 6 (04:52):
But they brief me, and I'm satisfied with it. I'm
satisfied with it. They should add somebody in the building.
That was a mistake. They should have had communications with
the local police. They weren't tied in, and they should
have been tied in. So there were mistakes made and
that you know, shouldn't have happened. And that building was
a prime building in terms of what they were trying

(05:14):
to do. So but I was satisfied in terms of
the bigger plot, the larger plot, I was satisfied. And
you know, I have great confidence.

Speaker 3 (05:25):
In these people.

Speaker 6 (05:26):
I know the people, and they're very talented, very capable.
That they had a bad day, and I think they'll
admit that at.

Speaker 3 (05:33):
A rough day.

Speaker 6 (05:34):
This is a very dangerous job being president. You know,
I say a race card driver one percent of one percent,
think of that die.

Speaker 3 (05:45):
It's not a lot a bull rider.

Speaker 6 (05:48):
I think that's pretty dangerous. It's like one tenth of
one percent die, and with a president it's like five percent.

Speaker 3 (05:57):
Why didn't you tell me this? I could have maybe
made a different president. Joking about it a year later,
and obviously very gracious for some of the Secret Service agents.
After all. The clip that I couldn't play for you
because it's malfunctioning to no end was basically saying he
felt like God spared him and probably to make America

(06:18):
great again, simply put, which is what he believes he's doing.
I think it changed him. You know, we could have
a lot of discussions today and we probably will about Okay,
one year later, the what ifs I could, I could
do a big what if John F. Kennedy, like Donald Trump,

(06:40):
had survived. That's a huge what if. Because John F.
Kennedy was folding back the New Deal, we would have
been a completely different country in that time and for
all time. Instead, most people point to the Vietnam War.
The probably would not have happened if John F. Kennedy

(07:01):
hadn't died. I always looked to he was folding back. Look,
all you got in Ronald Reagan was what Trump was.
What Kennedy was going to do. All you're getting in
Donald Trump right now is what Kennedy was going to
do in nineteen sixty And he wouldn't have started thirty
plus trillion dollars in debt. But he was going to

(07:22):
fold back the military complex, he was going to fold
back all the out of control spending and overreach of government.
Instead you got Johnson and the Great Society. I mean,
there is no greater failure than the War on poverty,

(07:45):
Still greater failure than the Great Society. So you know,
it's chilling to think of what if Kennedy had lived.
Then someone yell at the radio he was gonna have
a scandal. Scandal was going to cover like a Bill
Clinton could survive an extramuroral affair. Jenn F. Kennedy would have.
But when you stop and think about what if he

(08:08):
doesn't turn to look at that chart. What if we
have the continuation of whatever we had for four years?
Because don't forget, if we had a fake administration Kamala
Harris was a part of it. Instead of zero coming
through the border last month and zero coming through the

(08:29):
border the month before, we'd be having tens of thousands.
What would gas prices be? How might America have taken
sides in Hamas and Israel's war? How might things have
looked Israel going at alone? How about the blank checks?
To Ukraine or being soft on NATA. Obviously, no big

(08:56):
beautiful bill, just more continued reckless. So I think it's
going to give everybody a pause today. Certainly Fight Fight
Fight was born, and certainly that missed shot played a role,
although I think that fate was already in place. I mean,
they had the guy tied up in court with a

(09:16):
gag order for the entire primary. Didn't stop him from
winning the primary, and a bullet didn't stop him from
winning the general. But a lot of reflection today on that.
We're also going to talk about Fox, and as you know,
I'm not a huge fan of any I wouldn't put
my trust into anybody. They're all playing shirts and skins.

(09:38):
But Fox surpassed NBC and ABC viewership in the second
quarter of twenty twenty five. NBC is the one I
like to hone in them because MSNB, MSNBC and CNBC
they all tried to do something with the mother brand attached.
I remember when MSNBC went all in on Obama, and

(10:00):
I simply from a media standpoint, said, well, how does
that make sense? Because whether it's four years or eight years,
eventually he's gone. Then what are you? And oh, By
the way, you're doing this in the name of NBC.
What do you think this is going to do to
your credibility for your mother network? Now none of them
have credibility anymore to anybody, that's logical. But that's not

(10:21):
even the most interesting part. By the way, Fox had
three million, it's not so much a story of Fox,
although they did have a little surge three million, three
hundred and fifty thousand within demo, still not a lot.
But ABC only had two point nine million and NBC
had only two point seven million. So this is just

(10:42):
journalism dead and that's allowing these others. But I will
give credit where credit is due. Fox's dominance of CNN,
MSNBC and the others. That goes without saying. Now they've
beaten ABC and NBC the network. There's a lot of
we've moved off traditional television. There's no big advantage over

(11:09):
cable or streaming quite frankly, as it's all spread out.
So there's a lot of falling that led to this.
But isn't that interesting? But I thought the most interesting
part of the story was gut felt. For example, I
can do this in one minute, and hopefully you guys
don't have thin skin. I'm not being mean. I'm just saying,

(11:32):
from a product standpoint, not what gut Felt does, but
that it's allowed to be done. Whereas when I'm talking
about the not so much of the Tonight Show, but
Colbert Kimmel especially, that's not even done. Well, why did
late night television become political leftist political late night television? Well,

(11:59):
I can't say I don't like that, and then I
like a news network becoming late night one side of
comedy either. So that's the way in which I say it,
not bashing Gutfelt as much as I think it weakens
the brand. You're all out playing shirts and skins. You're
all out playing the matrix. You might even be funnier

(12:23):
than Kimmel and Colbert, but you're no better for doing
the same thing. Was my point. But having said that,
this might shock some people. Gutfelt is beating the Tonight
Show in the ratings. Beating the Tonight Show. That's not
saying a lot anymore anymore, Beating Stephen Cobert, beating Jimmy Kimmel,

(12:44):
beating the Daily Show. Meanwhile, for those of us want
a little break from politics, we got nowhere to go.
We need I love Lucy reruns. Joe Biden says, I
made all my clemency decisions. I just chose to use
the auto pen. They said, are you sure he's that?

(13:05):
As sure as I know I'm you listens as grant
I mean. But there's no credibility. Who's going to buy them?
And there is some devastating polling. You know, Red brought
this up last week. I thought I was worthy of No.
We all believe the false narrative that there was going
to be some big red wave. After Donald Trump's first election,

(13:27):
it was a big red flop, and the Democrats this
time they believe a big blue wave is coming. In
the early polling shows that may be a notion of
a great big flop. But what this was a Democrat
poll with a Democrat polster talking to Democrats, and they

(13:49):
may have just given the Republicans their slogan because the
research came back they're woke and weak.

Speaker 7 (13:58):
OK.

Speaker 3 (13:58):
And week is not a bad way to position yourself
hanging into a midterm election. So we got that roy
O'Neil is going to be here. At least one airline
plans to turn ticket pricing over to AI over the weekend.
President Trump reiterated his plans to slap new tariffs in
several countries. We'll get the reaction from White House correspondent
to John Decker, and more drama in the Trump dugout

(14:19):
this time Bondi and Bongino. We'll talk with the Republican
consult Chris Walker about that. And it's the one year anniversary.
I think the talkbacks are pretty simple. Why do you
think Donald Trump is still alive? Where would he be
if he wasn't. Does it mean I worship him, doesn't

(14:40):
mean I put my trust in him. My trust is
in the same God above him. But I can make
some reasonable deductions. And I thank God for his sovereignty
and protection for Donald Trump, and I pray for him
to continue that. But Donald Trump still alive and well
and making America great. One year later. All right, have
you heard of keraluma. It's an edible cactus. It's from India,

(15:04):
known for naturally suppressing appetite. It's just one of the
key ingredients and the breakthrough weight loss supplement called Lean.
If you're aiming to look great, feel better, lose some
weight this summer, Lean is your answer. Doctors behind Lien
say it's the closest thing they've come to replicating the

(15:24):
benefits of popular injections without any needles. Lean helps maintain
healthy blood sugar levels. That's important for a lot of us,
controls appetite and cravings. But it doesn't stop there. It's
rare natural ingredients that are also formulated to help your
body burn fat by converting it into energy. That's where
when I keep telling you guys, I don't know what

(15:45):
I'm at, nine or ten pounds, but no more yo yoing,
just steady weight loss. It's how you feel that you're
gonna love. No needles, just results. And let me get
you started with twenty percent off. Just use the promo

Speaker 2 (16:28):
This is your Morning Show with Michael del Chrono. How
different our day and world could be today.

Speaker 3 (16:37):
Had had a president, a presidential candidate, former president and
looked to his left to look at a chart.

Speaker 4 (16:44):
God was protecting mention. Maybe because God wanted to see
our cut feature better or do really well make America
great again.

Speaker 3 (16:52):
But God was protecting me, Brian.

Speaker 4 (16:53):
I'll tell you it's the more you think about it,
the more you see it. But now I just I
don't like to think about it much. You know, I
have a job to do, so I don't like to
think about it much. It's a little bit of a
dangerous profession, being president, but I really don't like to
think about it too.

Speaker 3 (17:11):
We broke those numbers down with his daughter in law,
bull riding and some of the others, and being president
is ends in death more than race car drivers and
bull riders.

Speaker 8 (17:23):
This is Dan from Heree, Pennsylvania.

Speaker 6 (17:26):
My morning show is your Morning Show with Michael del Jarno.

Speaker 3 (17:34):
Hey, it's me Michael.

(17:57):
live and make us a part of your morning routine.
In the meantime, enjoy the podcast.

Speaker 5 (18:01):
Is it the Bill May Studio or is it the
from the Chrisberry from the.

Speaker 3 (18:05):
Chris Berry Studio in the Bill May Broadcast Center. Yeah,
something like that. Yeah, yeah, What do you think is
in charge of it? It's me. They're not here, Chris
is in Italy. Bill's asleep. I'm emailing them now. Please look,
you used to make fun. I fixed that microphone. Why
can't you just give me a little credit? Well because
you because I messed with the main one that was

(18:27):
not an accidentally. Well enough alone is soon I late
to touch everything. Let's start over. Thirty six minutes after
the hour, Good morning, Early bird gets the worm, lazy squirrel, missus,
the dut the nut, get up, go downstairs, pour yourself
a cup of coffee, and join the human race. We'll
good to Monday, July, the fourteenth year of Our Lord,
twenty twenty five, gunfire left two women dead at a

(18:48):
Kentucky church. Trump and Bongino apparently spoke on Sunday, and
the President says he's in good shape. Well, Dann Bongino
has always been a good shape, but I don't know
if he wants to stick around with this administration. At
Homeland Security, Secretary Christy Nome is insisting that President Trump
does not want to dismantle FEMA. They've got to get
ahead of these narratives. And the crowd went nuts for

(19:12):
President Trump and First Lady Malanya Trump. In the end,
the Chelsea fans went the most nuts, winning Is it
FIFA or Feifer or full FuMB You can tell I'm
not a sock. It's FIFA, isn't it? Is it Feifer?
It's FIFA? FIFA. Yeah, I just say, like Groucho Marx
and them, well, Madam, the FIFA, the VIIFA, the Geezer,

(19:35):
the uh you were going with FIFA. Yeah, we're going
because I'm getting blamed for the microphones. I don't want
to get blamed for this red and I go with FIFA. Anyway.
It was the FI f A Club World Cup following
a three nothing when over Paris Saint Germain, I say that,
like I know who they are, all right, then there's

(19:57):
my stories. So here's the numbers for Fox News, and
this is a pretty significant headline. They overtook ABC and
NBC in viewership in the second quarter, while maintaining a
strong lead, of course, over their cable competition. So in
the second quarter, the Nielsen ratings report showed that Fox

(20:19):
had three million primetime viewers. Now that's roughly where Fox
used to be back in the days with Tucker Carlson
and Megan Kelly. They had dipped closer to a million,
million and a half. So Fox had a bit of
a resurgence, and in the resurgence, overtake NBC and ABC.

(20:40):
So three million viewers. Now in demo twenty five to
fifty four it falls to three hundred and fifty thousand.
It used to be a million. So there is a
phenomenon in America. There is an opportunity or a lane
opening for somebody to do something non political and perhaps
actually chest because it doesn't seem like it gets tough

(21:07):
under fifty years old to get anybody due to want
to watch this stuff. I guess another way of saying
it without editorializing would be there's a couple of generations
that did not come along for the ride. Now we
know they're getting their news from podcasts, we know they're

(21:28):
getting their news from TikTok. They're not getting it from
traditional media or cable media, that's for sure. And you
see that here, So that's your first glimpse that. Yeah,
for Fox, a little bit of a surge in prime time,
but not in the twenty five to fifty four demo?

(21:49):
Should I translate? Can I translate along the way without
getting in trouble?

Speaker 8 (21:52):
Sure?

Speaker 3 (21:53):
Absolutely?

Speaker 4 (21:53):
All right.

Speaker 3 (21:54):
A lot of prescription drug ads are going to continue
the diapers. They're not going any adult diapers. They aren't
going anywhere. It's a good golf, So it's still still leading.
But how does that compare to you know, when I
was growing up, Oh my god, you know when Walter,
I'd have to go back and google the ratings. Cronkite

(22:14):
was always the winner, but Frank Reynolds wasn't far behind
at ABC, and I can't remember NBC before Barbara Walters.
I think it was just oh Barber before Brokall Brinkley
oh yeah, way before Brokaw. Well, Brinkley would be going

(22:34):
back to Kennedy. So there was something after Brinkley, and
I can't remember if it was Chancellor or somebody that's terrible,
I don't remember. And then when we were kind of
teenagers and young adults, it was Peter Jennings on ABC,
Tom Brokawn NBC. But you know, those numbers would have
been staggering. And some of this is what we always

(22:56):
talk about. Technology has changed. Things have gotten very fragmented.
There was a time in the eighties. You want to
do cable news twenty four hours a day, What are
you nuts? They said to Ted Turner. Then after the
First Golf War, CNN was a real thing. This is

(23:21):
really a story of ABC, NBC and technology and the
traditional three networks coming down more than Fox going up
is the main point. It also did well during the
day for Fox, its highest second highest ratings quarter in
the network's history. What would be causing this surge the

(23:42):
Big Beautiful Bill? Maybe second quarter that what else besides
Big Beautiful Bill? Oh, the tariffs got to freak people out.
Oh absolutely yeah. But even at one point eight million
during the day, the twenty five to fifty four was
just two hundred and twenty three thousand, or with half
the audience during the day versus primetime. The twenty five
to fifty four was still two thirds of the size

(24:04):
as prime time. Translation, you just can't get young people
to watch news anymore, or at least not on cable
or regular television. The report showed Fox News because most
people will do this story just from the Fox standpoint,
but you're missing the industry shift. I mean, don't notice
this landscape and miss San Andrea's fault exposed, you know,

(24:26):
for five hundred miles. The report showed Fox News continued
its dominance over the cable competition, earning sixty two percent
of the audience in a total day and sixty three
percent in prime time. So at that point you can
simply say, see an AN, MSNBC together don't come close

(24:46):
to being what Fox is. So they are the clear champion,
but now a champion over ABC and NBC News as well.
During the week the US of the week of the
US strike on Iranian nuclear sites amid a rack, Oh well,
that would have made a big push. Fox went up
to three point three million after the air strikes, surpassing

(25:07):
NBC with two point four million and CBS two point
one million. ABC was at one point nine million, So
during the air strikes, they beat all three major networks,
but the one that blew me away the most. Oh,
I should give you this too. Overall, Fox in June
earned a total average of one point seven million viewers

(25:27):
compared to CNN's four hundred and forty six thousand and
ms MSNBCS five hundred ninety three thousand, so they're roughly
at a half a million. They're at a million over
a million and a half. They got a million more
viewers in both of them and then some. The Five
remains the most watched non primetime program for a record

(25:50):
fifteenth consecutive quarter, averaging nearly four million viewers and four
hundred and ten thousand in the twenty five to fifty
four demographic. Compare that to Hannity, who is at two
point nine million, a million less and three hundred and
forty two thousand, so roughly fifty sixty seventy thousand less

(26:11):
in demo. The Five's a hit show there, that's the
summary on that, and it could be because one of
its panel members is Gregon Guttfeld, who is clearly the
undisputed king of late night. According to Nielsen, gutfeld beats

(26:32):
NBC's The Tonight Show Johnny Is. Johnny's not rolling over
in his grave. If he did, he would just say,
I told you show. This is why you don't turn
late night into politics. Of course, now they're turning a
news channel into late night, but it's working for him.

(26:54):
Gutfeldt beats The Tonight Show with Jimmy Follon beats CBS
The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and ABC is Jimmy
Kimmel Alive on ABC? And Comedy Central's Daily Show beats
all of them. It is the cable success story of
the hour. Again, it begs the question, and I think

(27:18):
got felt, you know, and their writers. I don't particularly
care for the shirts and Skins matrix game, but they're
playing it very well and very successfully and clearly better
than the Skins are. But if it's wrong to do
it there, then you're doing something equally wrong where you are.
You're just doing it better. I just it's why I

(27:44):
watch Graham Norton highlights. Graham Norton. Is I think he's
just Friday? Is he just Friday Nights? Or is he
week nights in London? Is it the BBC Gentleman? Yeah,
Oh he's hilarious, but he's just doing you know. And
then you see these same stars that are all being
political here at home, just being fun and funny. And
you know, I've often wondered, why don't they try that here?

(28:05):
It seems to somebody ought to do it. It works,
really will well because this is where the whole segment ends.
All right. If gutt Felt is the king of late
night and he's now beating the Tonight Show with Jimmy
fallon The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel Live
on ABC, and Comedy Central's Daily Show, all right, so
it's the winner. What is anybody watching that doesn't want politics?

(28:30):
It would seem to me there's an an obvious lane
opening for someone to create a good old fashioned late
night entertainment show. At some point gotta take a break.
I'm not suggesting you, you know, put hands over your
eyes and disengage, but this obsession would seemingly be opening

(28:51):
the door for a new product. But that is I mean,
in and of itself. Congratulations to Fox. They are dominating
their cable competitors and now even to feeding two major
networks and news and Gutfeld, well he's beaten all the
late night talk shows. I wonder if Gutfeld has a
contract like David Letterman and Johnny Carson used to have,
And the answer is no, because the size of the
audience and the revenue attached to it isn't what Johnny

(29:15):
and them used to have. So a lot of this
is the story of what has fallen and what is
still standing taller than the others, more than one has
risen to some new height. All right, I thought that
was a very very interesting story. We'll get more back
to by the way, the talkbacks. If you're new like
Buffalo and Tucson, we don't believe in that old model

(29:35):
where you call up and rot on hold. It's just
you're too important for that. Your time is too important,
that you're too busy in the morning. But if you
got a question, if you've got a comment, especially today,
where would we be if Donald Trump, if God hadn't
spared Donald Trump had him look a split second, how
different might America be today? That's something for you to

(29:56):
ponder using that talkback button. But if you're listening on
the iHeart app, there's a little microphone. Press it. It'll
count you down three to two to one. You can
take your place at this morning's kitchen table. And for
those of you that prefer to do your thoughts in writing,
it's Michael D. M I C ch E L D

Speaker 2 (30:13):
It's your morning show with Michael del Chorno.

Speaker 3 (30:19):
No, they used to gripe about my backup microphone, and I,
like an engineer, I worked on it all week and
I've got it. Sounded terrific. We'll keep talking in and
we will too. If you're just waking up, it's fifty
two minutes after the hour. Not one, not two, not
three of these are your top five stories of the day.
Waking up. Well, you know, President Trump is disgusted with

(30:41):
Vladimir Putin. He's really uh, he's turning up the pressure
now he's sending Patriot missiles to Ukraine.

Speaker 8 (30:47):
Talking to reporters, Trump continued to speak of his disappointment
with Russian President Putin, saying he has surprised a lot
of people by talking nice and bombing everyone at night.
He went on to add that an exact number has
not been agreed to, but that Ukraine needs a for
protection and that the European Union is paying for it.
Trump slipped to meet with NATO Secretary General Mark Rute
at the White House on Monday.

Speaker 3 (31:07):
I'm Mark Mayfield. House lawmakers are set to vote this
week on a number of cryptocurrency bills. Tammy Trihio has more.

Speaker 7 (31:15):
Those include the Clarity Act, which looks to establish a
regulatory framework for crypto asset markets, the Genius Act, which
focuses on stable coins, a digital currency with value tied
to a real world asset, and the CBDC Surveillance State
Act that one would keep the Federal Reserve from coming
out with his own digital currency in an effort to
keep privacy and individual control over transactions. I'm Tammy Trichio.

Speaker 3 (31:38):
So iiding into Amazon's Big Prime event, I couldn't think
of anything that I needed. And then finally, because I
only have twenty seven pairs, I did see what passed
the Rory O'Neil sniff test too. A great deal, Okay,
A pair of Puma golf shoes that I know are
between one hundred and one hundred and twenty dollars maybe

(31:59):
one hundred and twenty five, and I got them for
fifty so I thought, well, I'll do one. They come
eight and a half, not ten and a half. So
I have to go to ups and send them back.
Wait two more days. They come back again eight and
a half, not ten and a half. And then when
I went to order the ten and a half's it
charged me seventy I'm a very disgrundled Amazon Prime customer,

(32:25):
probably one of many. As they raked in over twenty
four million dollars during their Prime Day event.

Speaker 9 (32:30):
Adobe Analytics says that's about nine point six billion dollars
more than last year. Prime Day started out as a
one day event, I became a four day sales extravaganza.
This year, Amazon is hailing it as the biggest Prime
Day shopping event yet. I'm Lisa Carton.

Speaker 3 (32:50):
It's not a bird, it's not a plan. It's super
mad boy. I hate comics and I hate comic movies,
but this one I loved, and it hit them box
office and raked in close to one hundred and twenty
three million dollars in its opening weekend, securing the number
one spot ahead of blockbusters like Jurassic Park or Jurassic
World Rebirth, and f one the movie. In doing so,

(33:12):
it also became the year's third biggest debut after only
a Minecraft movie and Lee, Lo and Stitch. I was
close to saying Elo, wasn't it. Speaking of Elo, the
Elo Farewell tour is over and had to be so
without a final show. A statement on social media says
a heartbroken Jeff Lynn had to cancel Sunday show at

(33:34):
Hyde Park in London. The show, which was going to
include Steve Winwood and the Doobie Brothers. By the way,
we're going to visit with Michael McDonald coming up in
a week or so. They were gonna have their final show.
It was the end of the Elo Over and Out tour.
But Lynn apparently has some kind of a viral systemic
infection and the doctors advised him not to perform, so

(33:56):
we had to cancel the show. I always loved ELO.
I always thought, you know if Eelo sounded very influenced
by the Beatles, but in some ways were better than
the Beatles.

Speaker 5 (34:05):
Oh, Jeff Lynn was heavily influenced by the sound of
the Beatles. Yeah yeah, and he inherits her friends too.

Speaker 3 (34:12):
They're another one that you know, you sit down, start
doing like a search boom. I mean, I just hit
after hit after a hit. Hey, Connecticut, this the dog
steals the show. In Superman, a Connecticut man is thanking
his family pet for finding a lost one hundred and
fifty thousand dollars lottery ticket Russell Rough So the winning

(34:32):
ticket had been missing for weeks.

Speaker 8 (34:34):
Ruff eventually founded after his sixteen year old cat decided
to crawl behind the bed, leading Rough and his sons.

Speaker 3 (34:39):
To move the furniture.

Speaker 8 (34:40):
They ticket match four out of the five winning numbers,
plus the power ball. Rough added power play, making his
prize jump from fifty thousand dollars to one hundred and
fifty thousand dollars.

Speaker 3 (34:50):
I'm Mark Neyview. Obviously the cat is the star of
that show.

Speaker 2 (34:53):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
with Michael Nhild, Joe and No
