Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, it's me Michael. Your morning show can be heard
live daily on great radio stations like News Radio six
fifty K E n I Anchorage, Alaska, Talk Radio eleven
ninety Dallas Fort Worth, and Freedom one O four seven
in Washington, d C. We'd love to have you listen
live every day and make us a part of your
morning routine. But better late than never. Enjoy the podcast two.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
Three starting your morning off right.

Speaker 3 (00:24):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding, because.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
We're this is your morning show, this is Michael, Bill
charm It's a dream come true for me. Seven minutes
the show receipt. That was beautiful. Thank you. I've always
done that because because because July fourteenth, Monday, it was
a year ago, yesterday, all of our fates could have

(00:52):
been impacted. God was protecting me.

Speaker 4 (00:54):
Maybe because God wanted to see our cut feature better
or do really well, Thank America great again. But God
was protecting me. Brian, I'll tell you it's the more
you think about it, the more.

Speaker 2 (01:05):
You see it.

Speaker 4 (01:06):
But uh no, 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.

Speaker 2 (01:17):
You know, there's a lot of people are going to
talk about where would we be today had Donald Trump
been shot? Where would we be at? Kamala Harrison, Tim Walls,
President and Vice President. No, big beautiful Bill, the boar
is Donald Trump? To sing Donald Trump. If he doesn't
get shot at he does not seem to be if

(01:41):
he doesn't believe that God spared him. I mean, he's
still done Trump, but there's a lot less ego and
a lot more sense of urgency. But yes, everything could
have been different a year ago. Yesterday, Good morning and welcome.
It's nine now minutes after the hour, or this is
your morning show on the air and streaming live on

(02:02):
your iHeartRadio app if you're just waking up. The President
says that he spoke with Dan Bongino on Sunday and
he was in good shape. So that'll be interesting to
see how that plays out. The US consumer spent about
just a little over twenty four billion dollars during this
year's Amazon promt Prime Day event. And then we had

(02:24):
gunfire the left two women dead at a church in Kentucky.
Really sad story. Waking up this morning and at least
one airline plans to turn ticket pricing over to AI. Now, Rory,
are we still gonna when we're talking to AI? Are
they gonna still like hear all the roads? You know
how they do the keyboard and you know, you wonder
what all they're typing? Cling noise? Yes, who calls anymore?

(02:44):
What is it? It's not nineteen eighty five? What do
you mean who calls? I? No, I don't know, but
I do it online, right, Yeah?

Speaker 5 (02:53):
Well, no, So the idea is that AI is going
to take everything it knows about you and then try
to charge you the highest possible fair that you, as
an individual would be willing to pay based on what
it knows about you.

Speaker 2 (03:09):
Well, I don't like that. That's a tough sell. There
you go, that's the shoe.

Speaker 3 (03:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (03:14):
So, Delta Airlines has got about three percent of its
tickets are now being priced this way. They hope to
get that up to about twenty percent by the end
of the year, and I'm sure if they can get
it to work, other airlines will follow suit. Delta working
with a contractor to get this done, so I'm sure
they'll be selling it to all the airlines. But it's
this idea of AI knows so much about you, probably

(03:37):
a pretty good idea of how much you make you
know when you feel about that form that one time
to put your salary range in there, and they've seen
your previous purchase history, so they'll know what you're willing
to pay for that flight split second Nashville to Orlando,
and could do it instantaneously.

Speaker 2 (03:54):
Especially well you didn't say this one. We could do
a whole segment on all the different ramifications. But it
also knows the times of day you like to fly,
or how important you know NonStop, especially here in Nashville.
I only fly simple with stairlines, and the first thing
I look for is NonStop. I don't want to go
up and down. It's going to know that too, right right,

(04:15):
Oh no, it'll have your full history, and that's the
you know. Oh no, well, we can work around it
by doing incognito or logging in from somewhere else. You know,
as soon as you've got to put that rapid rewards
number in or that frequent flyer mile number in, it's
going to know you who you are and then what
you're a pretty good idea of what you're willing to pay,
and then people don't like the charge. People don't realize

(04:37):
how much AI knows and how quick and it can
assemble it all. My son does these little fake news
stories if we do something joking like you know, that's Franklin.
Mother hates son, you know, and it'll just put in
wife of talk show hosts has all this stuff about
me and turns it into like a news story. Well
that can also be used, knowing all that information to
turn it into a higher ticket price. Oh lovely. Anyway

(04:59):
we can see through this or know how to watch
our way around it, or I'd say get ready for
more of it's probably just beware, right, Rory o'neil'll be
back in the third hour. He made me paranoid throughout
Amazon days that none of these were really deals that
they had all third party vendors had jacked up the
price and you were getting like half off of a
jack jacked up price, and it was But this is

(05:23):
this is scary that AI would know everything about you
just to weasel the most amount of money out of
you when you're buying a ticket. Rory's gonna be back
in the third hour. We're gonna talk a little bit
about they were expecting more spending cuts. They were expecting
more from Jeffrey Epstein's investigation. Is President Trump failing his

(05:43):
most vocal supporters and does he need to shore up
that support of his base prior to the midterms. We'll
talk more about that with Rory, and we'll talk about
it with Chris Walker, Republican consultant and your morning show Michael. Right,
AI sound like the used car salesman. It's got the
herb tarlet, plaid pants and jacket on. Apparently we did

(06:05):
an old you know what, I bet I have that?
Where would I find that? Stick it to your Airlines?
I think I have that still, I hope so, But
I don't know where that would be, like in documents,
probably right, I don't know how to find it on
this I'll look for that. We did a parody of

(06:27):
airlines called stick it to Your Airlines. We'll try to
find that and play it for you. I don't know
where I would necessarily go to find it on the computer,
and I wouldn't trust me to try to do it
on the fly. Here. Oh, the cool kids use search well,
like when you do that fine thing? Is that a

(06:47):
good way to do it? Could be?

Speaker 6 (06:49):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (06:50):
It'll find it by a title. Uh Lord, leave me
to stick it to your airlines. Amen, we would that.
Let's try. I don't know where it would be that

(07:13):
i'd have to. I probably have to. I found the
R Kelly one. That's hilarious. That's where R Kelly and
Michael Jackson are having a conversation, So you would have
thought it would have been in this area. I'm gonna
try one more time and then I'm not gonna waste time.

(07:33):
I promise you. It's that funny, though. But nothing's going
right for us today. So I got some music for you. No,
don't do that. I'll just move along, okay, but I'll
look for it. See if I can find it for you.
Stick it to your airlines. That was hilarious. But now
I guess the AI is going to stick it to us.
I had something very strange happened to me before you

(07:54):
play Roger, so Big John commented on Twitter. As I thought, oh,
I'm gonna now. I have always pictured Big John vividly,
like I mean, I could I could literally see a face,
I could see the hair, sure, I could see the eyebrows,
I could see the beard. I just I pictured him

(08:16):
and this is so strange. So finally there he is
on my X and I click on the picture. It's
the exact face I was seeing. How is that possible?
It's a gift, you think that, And no wonder he's
always giving a stock quotes. He was a you know,
he was in the in the biz and a chef.
That's where his love for food and stocks come in.

Speaker 3 (08:38):
Now.

Speaker 2 (08:39):
I don't know what I picture when I picture Roger,
but here's Roger kste and Sacramento.

Speaker 7 (08:44):
Morning, gentlemen. I wanted to give a couple opinions. First
about the Trump attempted assassination. There's just no way there
was not divine intervention that day. And then I'd like
to defend the gut filled show. It's not as bias
and one incited is you would think they have a
pretty diverse panel on there, and they just pretty much

(09:05):
show the left what they are and the truth is
just what it is.

Speaker 2 (09:12):
I you know, I wasn't implying that at all. I
was just saying, you have to admit on a network
that has been traditionally either been news news coverage or
opinionated news talk, that doing a comedy show is out
of the norm. As out of the norm as a

(09:35):
late night show that used to Johnny Carson was adamant
about avoiding politics, and for the very reasons, late night
has been destroyed, and now they're doing all politics. I'm
just saying it's just odd and it's backwards. But having
said that, it is worthy of note. And Gutfeld is

(09:58):
beating the Tonight Show. He's beating Stephen Colbert, he's beating
Jimmy Kimmel. I said, that's extraordinary as much as it's
out of the form of the network. And again just
more political talk. They're just they're funny. You're at it.
Where do people go the one escape politics? There is

(10:21):
nowhere that would seemingly create an opportunity. All right, seventeen
minutes after the hour, if you're just waking up, we
had a winner in the Did we determine if it's
FIFA or FIFA? Fifa, it's FIFA the FIFA Club World Cup.
It was Chelsea three nothing over Paris Saint Germaine and

(10:42):
the president the first lady. We're a huge hit at
that matchup that took place. I believe that was in
New Jersey over the weekend. And Baseball's gonna take a
little break except for those that are in the home
run derby tonight and the All Star Game tomorrow night.
And yes they're back in Atlanta, who apparently has learned
it's political lessons and they will up and just host
the All Star Game tonight. And then you know, we're

(11:05):
kind of kicking around the Trump America a year and
one day after it was almost a trumpless America. And
then I had the research staff. The research staff, by
the way, is read and me, but I had the
research staff look up just to give you some perspective
on that story we did on Fox. Because Fox beat
NBC News and ABC News in addition to beating the

(11:28):
snot out of CNN and MSNBC and the cable news.
And I was talking about not to diminish with Fox achieved,
but it's more of everything else coming down than them
rising up to give you perspective. This is what we
were talking about earlier, and I wish I'd had it then.
When Walter Cronkite was hosting the CBS Evening News, he

(11:49):
averaged nightly between twenty seven and twenty nine million viewers. Wow,
you know this goes back to what I heard Jerry
Seinfelt brilliantly talking about there was a time where all
your favorite shows were ABCNBC and CBS and really, quite frankly,
some night's ABC owned, some night CBS owned. But I mean,
you're looking at a shared experience the next day, at

(12:12):
a water cool or of about sixty percent of America
that doesn't exist today. Just to give you some other perspective,
Rush Limbaugh in the late nineties, at the height of
his success twenty million listeners a day. There's nobody that
can come within twenty of that today. It's just I

(12:34):
remember I used to fill in for Michael Savage on
The Savage Nation, and when I first started feeling towards
the end after he had a heart attack, I used
to do it weekly. But when I first started filling
in for me, hit between ten and fifteen million listeners.
This is not the biggest show I've ever hosted, but
this is how everything has been fragmented. So where is

(12:55):
everybody today? Wow? You know we talk about what if
you don't want to have shirts and skins? Where are
you watching Joe Rogan or you know some of these
You know, we have the whole world of podcasting and
streaming it's a whole different world. But it is worthy
of note that Guttfeld is beating The Tonight Show, Jimmy Kimmel,

(13:18):
The Late Show with Colbert. Now, you would think one
of those three numskulls would decide to move away from
leftist politics and just to entertainment again, and maybe they
could win. But if once you're going to play politics,
to Red's point earlier, you've only got one playing skins
or shirts. Everybody else is dividing up the skins. I
mean all of them have in common. They're all left.

(13:41):
So if they want to poke fun from a left perspective,
Fox is the only one doing it from a right perspective.
And with things is diluted as they are and spread
out as they are, that's a huge advantage and that's
why it's one of our stories of the day. This
is Your Morning Show with Michael del Chno, the White
House defending President Trump's newly unveiled tariffs on the European

(14:04):
Union and Meheho. Appearing on ABC's This Week.

Speaker 8 (14:08):
National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett said these tariffs are
putting the nation's interests first.

Speaker 9 (14:12):
The messager all tried to get across is this is
about America getting yourself ready for the Golden Age by
getting our house at order, by getting our tariff and
trade policy and tax policy exactly where it needs to be.

Speaker 8 (14:23):
Trump unveiled the plan a place a thirty percent teriff
right on each country starting August first, and weekend posts
on truth Social The move follows last week's announcement that
the Resident plans to impost a thirty five percent terrible
in Canada for what he called its failure to cooperate
on key issues, including reducing the flow of fentanyl into
the US.

Speaker 2 (14:39):
I'm Mark Mayfield. A labeling issue. Oh now, what's happening
to me? Who was that guy? I don't know. Somebody
needs to get him a kissue. A labeling issue prompted
a nationwide recall of four types of Ritz peanut butter
crackers Sandwich Cartons.

Speaker 10 (14:53):
Its parent company is recalling the product because some packages
containing peanut butter may be mislabeled as cheese. According to
an FDA safety notice, the mislabeling goodboot people with peanut
allergies at risk of serious or life threatening allergic reactions
if they eat the product. The FDA's is so far,
there have been no reports of injury or illness. The
recall involves the eight, twenty and forty pack Ritz Peanut
Butter Cracker Sandwich cartons, along with the twenty pack Ritz

(15:16):
Field Cracker Sandwich Variety pack carton. I'm Tammy Trhio all right.

Speaker 2 (15:20):
I know a lot of you have heard nasty stories
about liverlessm and checked it into Superman. I went and
saw it. I didn't know anything about all that. There
was a little speech at the end about him giving
Lex Luthor a lecture about him not being an alien
and so on. I guess that's part of what people
were reading into it. I hate these kind of movies.
I only went to be with my family and I

(15:41):
was telling I'm telling you it was great. It really
really was good. And when they do that little comic
relief stuff, usually it's cheesy and stupid. In this case,
it's all really funny. It's a really well done movie.
Raked in one hundred and twenty three million dollars over
at the opening. Make another somebody probably hates me because
I liked Superman, and that makes it over, wrote above
Jurassic World Rebirth and f one the movie and in

(16:03):
doing so, It also became the year's third biggest debut,
after only a Minecraft movie and Leel institchment.

Speaker 6 (16:13):
My name is Joey from Goodyear, Arizona, and my morning
show is your Morning Show with Michael del Jarna.

Speaker 10 (16:24):
Hi.

Speaker 2 (16:24):
I'm Michael.

Speaker 1 (16:24):
I'd love to have you listen to your morning show live.
Every day. We're heard on great stations like News Talk
five point fifty k f YI and Phoenix News Radio
eleven ninety k EX in Portland and ten ninety The
Patriot in Seattle. Make us a part of your morning routine.
We'd love to have you listen live, but in the meantime,
enjoy the podcast.

Speaker 2 (16:42):
I'm Michael. Jeffrey's got the sound read, keeping an eye
on the content, and of course your talkbacks. Can you
find me the one who had the Gutfeldt line. I
knew people were going to take offense to me. I'm
not saying anything bad about Gutfeldt. I'm just saying I
hate that late night talk shows like The Tonight Show
and what used to be Dave Lettumane have become all political,

(17:02):
and based on that, I would say, what is a
you know, comedic type show doing on Fox troubling as
it is, they're funnier and they have the lane to
themselves and it's now beating. I mean, that's the story.
There's no backhanded compliment here. Gottfeldts beaten the Tonight Show
and Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel. That's amazing. But this caller,

(17:26):
I love the way he worded it. Can you gutt.

Speaker 9 (17:28):
Felt is successful not because he brought politics to comedy,
but because he brought comedy to politics.

Speaker 2 (17:36):
Brought comedy to politics. Great comment. Appreciate that. All right?
John Decker is here, our White House correspondent, and you
know we just did this in the top stories the
White House defending President Trump's newly unveiled tariffs on the
European Union and on Mexico. Over the weekend, the President
reiterated his plans to slap these new tariffs on several

(17:58):
countries that have not negotiated new trade deals yet. John
deckercyre with the very latest. I suppose this list is
greater than this, right, Well.

Speaker 11 (18:08):
These are when you factor in China as well. China, Canada, Mexico,
the European Union all facing higher trade tariffs. On August
the first these collectively, Michael, are America's largest trading partners.
They make up a significant part of our annual trade,
and this could indeed have an impact and impact on

(18:30):
all the products that are coming into the US from
all of those countries. Those tariffs are applied to the
importers of products coming into the US, and typically that's
those costs.

Speaker 2 (18:41):
Along to you and I. All right, So again, this
is unless it goes into effect August first. You know,
sooner or later this poker match, somebody's going to call
the bluff.

Speaker 11 (18:52):
Yeah, no, I understand that, and you're right about that.
But you know, no one's blinking, you know. I mean,
think about all the countries in the world, and very
few have come to the negotiating cable to strike a
deal with the United States. They're all just playing the
wait and see approach, the long game. And now we
know about this new deadline. First it was July the ninth,

(19:15):
and now it's August the first. If we could potentially
see another I say potentially, not that the President has
indicated that, but we could potentially see another extension as
it relates to this deadline. But that's the deadline that
every country right now is working on.

Speaker 2 (19:31):
So we also hear the administration talking a lot about
the net gain and revenue. Perhaps they're so focused on
the revenue they're not focused on the impact on the
consumers and the economy. Or it is an art of
the deal in a negotiation, and we just never know
until it plays out. But it's playing out with new drama,
also dramatic trouble in the dugout between Bongino and Pam Bondi.

(19:55):
The President saying over the weekend he had a conversation
with Bongino, and he's doing great. Everything's fine. Any word
on that, Yeah, that's what he said.

Speaker 11 (20:05):
He said that upon landing at Andrews Air Force Base,
speaking to reporters who would travel with him back from
New Jersey on Air Force one, the President gave an
indication that things are good between Bongino and the administration.
He did not say specifically that things are good between Bongino,
the number two person at the FBI, and Pam Bondi,

(20:28):
the Attorney General. You know, you want to have all
the members of your team on the same page.

Speaker 2 (20:32):
But as you know, Bongino, before.

Speaker 11 (20:34):
He became a part of the Trump administration, was one
of those voices very loudly calling for the release of
all documents related.

Speaker 2 (20:41):
To Jeffrey Epstein. Yeah, and you give an ultimatum, it's her,
it's me, and then you back off from that. Well,
that's awkward in and of itself, and then you don't
want to lose another key player that a lot of
people in his base really are supportive of, especially on
this topic. Final question for White House correspondent John Decker.
It was a year ago, yes, shots were fired at
the president. How different would America be and how different

(21:03):
is Donald Trump today because of it and surviving it?

Speaker 11 (21:07):
Well, yeah, I mean that's pretty remarkable. The President was
asked about this yesterday, you know, just his reflection on
the fact that it's one year ago today that this
assassination attempt took place on his life. He said, you know,
God protected him. Yeah, I mean, the world looks a
lot different one year later than it did one year ago,
you know.

Speaker 2 (21:27):
And Joe Biden think about it. Joe Biden was still.

Speaker 11 (21:30):
The presumptive Democratic nominee at this point last year before
he dropped out about a week after that assassination attempt.

Speaker 2 (21:37):
Of the world's funny.

Speaker 11 (21:39):
Sometimes, Michael, the way you know, we have all these changes,
and all the changes are because of that moment to
a certain extent, and what's become since then.

Speaker 2 (21:50):
Yeah, I don't want to get religious, but perhaps there
is a god above the nations who's still calling the
shots even though we're not watching. But yeah, he's a
different man today because of it. We're a different country
and we would have been a far different country had
Lee Harvey Oswald missed as well. So one I think
we lost out. One we might have been spared something.

(22:11):
Donald Trump certainly was and he's very grateful for it.
John Decker is always great reporting, all right. I did
find something if people want to hear it. So we
had our visit with Rory O'Neil and did he indicate
it's Delta that's going to start doing it using the
AI to jack up prices. Yeah, it was Delta, right
and others. I would think others will follow, especially if
they have any success with it. But here's the premise.

(22:32):
AI know so much about you. It knows where you
like to fly, how much you're willing to pay, the
time of day, all that stuff, and it's gonna manipulate
you to get the highest possible price out of you
and if all airlines do it, you know, what's our recourse.
It's not the first time airlines have tried to stick

(22:55):
it to us. It's just a transition from what they
were doing bags and other things to AI. Something we
addressed in a radio cartoon that Red wanted to hear
Michael Radio cartoon, tension all morbidly obese passengers? Those not

(23:16):
Who's next? Oh it's me? Oh, thank god, I have

I can't have your morning show without your voice. I
want to start with Angela. Michael.

Speaker 8 (26:32):
All that they forgot to stick it to him with
was the three percent surcharge for choosing to use the
credit card.

Speaker 2 (26:39):
Man, stick it to him. That was really, really wonderful. Yeah,
it's a humor that holds, and it's about to get
worse with Ai Tomas in North Canton.

show All Star rosters of producers Red and Jeffrey Rory O'Neil,
John Decker, David Zinati, David Boson, Colonel James Carafano, Mike McCain,
Sean Farrage, and Michael Bill Joano. My question is are

(27:28):
you the starting pitcher or batting cleanup in.

Speaker 2 (27:31):
The number four hole label? Well, I was a catcher
most of my life, and then I finished my career
at second base. When I started varsity baseball my freshman year,
the first baseman was my middle brother Bobby, and the
catcher who was all district was my brother Vick. So

(27:53):
I got bumped to second base. So I'm going to
go on a lemon sam Playing second base and batting
second is what I usually bat That's what happens when
you're a left handed hitter. All right, Well, well he
got the whole cast, didn't he? Very nicely done? Wuddy?
All right? If you're just waking up fifty two minutes
after the hour, these a your top five stories of
the day. The president says the US is sending Patriot

(28:13):
missiles to Ukraine.

Speaker 8 (28:15):
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 it for
protection and that the European Union is paying for it.
Trump is sent to meet with NATO Secretary General Mark
Rute at the White House on Monday.

Speaker 2 (28:35):
I'm Mark Mayfield. House lawmakers are set to vote this
week on a number of cryptocurrency bills. Tammy Trehillo has more.

Speaker 10 (28:42):
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 its own digital currency in an effort to
keep privacy and individual control over transactions. I'm Tammy Trheo.

Speaker 2 (29:06):
Altogether, we spent over twenty four million dollars during Amazon's
Prime Day events. Lisa Carton has all the details.

Speaker 12 (29:14):
Adobe Analytics says that's about nine point six billion dollars
more than last year. Prime Day started out as a
one day event, but became a four day sales extravaganza
this year. Amazon is hailing it as the biggest Prime
Day shopping event yet.

Speaker 2 (29:29):
I'm Lisa Carton that so ELO's farewell tour is over
without a final show. A statement on social media says
a heartbroken Jeff Lynn had to cancel Sunday show at
Hyde Park in London. The show, which was also going
to include Steve Winwood and the Doobie Brothers, was going

(29:49):
to be the final show of the last leg of
ELO's Over and Out tour. Lynn, who also canceled Thursday
show in Manchester, was diagnosed with a systemic infection and
doctors had advised him not to perform, and so he
simply said, can't do it at this time. Tough one.
Ello Love Ello, a new report. Never got to see them,

(30:12):
saw all my favorites, but Elo and I'd never seen
Billy Joel, never seen Billy. Billy Joel and EO end
up being the two. I saw Sinatra, In fact, I
saw him and I think it was a second to
last concert before he fell and then Leader died. We
missed a great opportunity to see Il Elo. They came
to Nashville. We missed that. Lafe. Yeah missed it. And

(30:33):
they're just terrific, so heavily influenced by the Beatles. But
as I always say to my son and he disagrees.
My son's a huge Beatles fan, go figure, and he
leans more. George. I think everybody goes through that phase
really well, George, Well, I was always a solid Paul.
I went through my Beatles page about into my high
school beginning of college. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean I

(30:55):
think the Beatles were better. But you know, I always
get him hard time and say, well, I like Elo better,
but yeah, the Beatles Blue Album. Oh come on, Yeah,
you go from day in the Life into strawberry Fields.
That's strong. A new report from air help has ranked
the best and worst airports in the US. Tammy Trio's
back with the details.

Speaker 10 (31:15):
Airhelp said its factors included on time, performance, travelers experience,
and food and shopping accommodations. Newark Liberty International, Fort Lauderdale,
Hollywood Airport and the Philadelphia Airport received the lowest rankings.
Salt Lake City, LAX and Minneapolis Saint Paul International led
the rankings for the nation's best airports. I'm Tammy Trio.

Speaker 2 (31:35):
Well Connecticut man is thanking his family pet here Kitty kitty.
She showed up with one hundred and fifty thousand dollars
lottery ticket.

Speaker 8 (31:44):
Well Rough, so the winning ticket had been missing for weeks.
Ruff eventually founded after his sixteen year old cat decided
to crawl behind the bed, leading Rough and his sons
to move the furniture. The ticket match four out of
the five winning numbers, plus the power ball. Rough added
power play, making his prize jump from fifty dollars to
one hundred.

Speaker 2 (32:02):
And fifty thousand dollars. I'm Mark neaveiew Well, there's a
theory in baseball that the final day before the All
Star Break is usually low scoring because these guys are
ready for vacation now. In the case, yesterday, Tigers got
out slugged by the Mariners eight to four, Cardinals beat
the Braves five to four, Rays lost four to one

(32:23):
to the Red Sox, Guardians sixty five and extra innings
over the White Sox. D Backs beat the Angels five
to one, a six to three over the Blue Jays,
Dodgers over the Giants five to two, Padres lost to
the Phillies two to one the only low scoring game,
and the Brewers eight to one over the Nats. Tonight
is the I think. Do you think when I was
a kid, the All Star Game was everything? And I'll

(32:44):
never forget when Pete Rose took out Ray Fosse. That
was a very memorable. But All Star Game was what
you watched. They did have the Past Greats Game where
you got to see a lot of the old players play.
I remember that. Of course, I don't even know we
had Home Run Derby then when we were little. Now
I think more people will probably watch the Home Run

(33:06):
Derby tonight than the All Star Game tomorrow ESPN And
Chris Berman, right, Oh, Chris Berman. Chris Berman. When he dies,
You're gonna see me get so depressed. Still, I have
those moments like where he does that little thirty second
Howard Cosell started all that doing the highlights of all

(33:26):
the Sunday games during Monday Night football. But oh, I
love when Chris Berman does that too. So anyway, we
got the Home Run Derby is tonight, we got the
All Star Game tomorrow night. Both in Atlanta. Birthdays MMA
Fighter Connor McGregor thirty seven years old. Wish him a
happy birthday or else This freaked out Red Franklin. Graham.
Billy's son is seventy three years old, actress comedian Jane

(33:48):
Lynch sixty five, and Imagine Dragon singer Dan Reynolds thirty
eight to p't your birthday, Happy birthday. We're so glad
you were born, and thanks for making your morning show
a part of your big day. We're all in this together.
This is your Morning Show with Michael del Jorno.
