Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, I'm Michael. 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 (00:18):
Two three starting your morning off right.

Speaker 3 (00:22):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding.

Speaker 2 (00:26):
Because we're in this together. This is your morning show
with Michael Dell Chorman.

Speaker 4 (00:38):
Okay, I wanted to make him think the government shut
me down.

Speaker 3 (00:43):
I'm good Calistenics. Hey, you Fanny, get up and join them.
That's right. I'm fat shaming too. There. We just did
a preview with the entire show.

Speaker 4 (00:54):
One smart Alex Swoop seven minutes after the hour, Good morning,
You're welcome to can believe it's Hey? First things first,
he believe it's October? How did this happen? It gets
faster everything. I was just toasting everybody at the Christmas party. Oh,
Yankees lost that again?

Speaker 3 (01:12):
Right, I'm on suicide watch. You do that every year? Right? Yes?
It's a Andrew del Jonno tradition. That was one of
the fanciest things I've ever been to.

Speaker 4 (01:22):
Oh stop it, don't make them think that Scott Hamilton
just chatting fireside with me.

Speaker 3 (01:29):
Well, I can't help it.

Speaker 4 (01:30):
I surround myself with stars in my galaxy.

Speaker 3 (01:34):
No, but it is.

Speaker 4 (01:34):
It's October, the first, twenty twenty five Wednesday. I don't
know how yesterday struck you. There were certainly some strange moments,
but by and large, the big story is the government
shut down, and red is okay because the national parks
are open. I don't even think anybody has I mean,
I have to monitor all forms of media. I haven't

(01:56):
even noticed any hysteria. I haven't even noticed much buzzy
in social media? Have you? And when I do, it's
just something about who to blame, which is so social media.
I saw one person post and it was from Joe Walsh,
which I'm so glad.

Speaker 3 (02:14):
Joe is sober and you know, loved the music. Sure,
you know.

Speaker 4 (02:20):
I wouldn't be taking my political and civics lessons from
Joe Walsh.

Speaker 3 (02:25):
No, but his quote was you got.

Speaker 4 (02:27):
There in control of the Senate and the House and
the White House. Don't be blaming Democrats with the government
shut down.

Speaker 3 (02:35):
This is all on you.

Speaker 4 (02:36):
And then the person reposting it was like, I couldn't
have said it any better. This is so and I'm
just thinking myself. First of all, it's not about who's
to blame. You ought to be afraid when the government's
wide open, overspending and building on its thirty seven trillion
dollars of debt, that's the real crisis. Temporarily shutting down,

(03:00):
where Democrat leadership is headed to NAPA for a little
retreat and good times. The ten thousand or so federal
employees who will be furloughed, they'll get their back pay
once all this political theater is done and they get
onto a continuing resolution and a funding towards further debt.
I mean, you're just so ignorant of the topic. But obviously,

(03:28):
when it comes to a continuing resolution, it takes sixty
votes in the Senate, and there's only fifty three Republicans,
so the whole statement is ignorant. It doesn't matter even
if you just need a simple majority in the House.
The Senate has to approve it, and that's what holds
it up. So that's where it takes some bipartisan cooperation,

(03:52):
which they got from Federman, they got from Cortes Mastow
and one independent who caucuses with the Democrats.

Speaker 3 (03:59):
So there's some chinks in the armor. There's already three
leaning with the Republicans.

Speaker 4 (04:07):
I looked at that post on social media and I
thought to myself, a how ignorant and then be how lazy?
I know, AI scares a lot of you people. Maybe
Google scares a lot of you people. But all you
gotta do is type, just type in your browser how

(04:30):
many votes does it take to keep the government open.
I mean, it's just so, it's so ignorant and so lazy.
Maybe Pete Hegseth can address that after he's done fixing
the military.

Speaker 3 (04:43):
What are you gonna say? I hear you breathing.

Speaker 4 (04:45):
Oh no, are you just finding me attractive in my
Yankees Jersey? Sure, the pinstripes just lend a rising, but
we got no bullpen.

Speaker 3 (04:52):
Go ahead.

Speaker 4 (04:53):
I'd like to take suicide calls at one eight hundred,
So go ahead. Can you imagine giving people a civics
lesson and seeing how they pass?

Speaker 3 (05:03):
Well, they wouldn't.

Speaker 4 (05:05):
Yeah, But I mean, there's a story, there's a story
today about I should probably throw it in the newscast,
but look, if you're on TikTok getting your medical advice,
that'd be your first clue. Can you imagine, and I
think I'm having a heart attack, Well.

Speaker 3 (05:24):
There's the Regional General Hospital.

Speaker 4 (05:26):
Wait, look across the street, there's a TikTok Urgent Center.

Speaker 3 (05:31):
Let's go there.

Speaker 4 (05:35):
So the news guy with a straight face is saying,
you know, we've done research in ninety percent of the
advice you're getting medical advice is wrong. What are you
getting medical advice from TikTok?

Speaker 3 (05:45):
First of almost doctors don't watch even on the internet.

Speaker 4 (05:47):
But there was some pretty sophisticated AI that. Let me
tell you something, it'll almost be word for word what
the doctor will say to you. I mean, after all,
somewhere between nurse practitioners and artificial intelligence is what's going
to be treating us soon. Rerdd likes said today the

(06:10):
biggest story he likes the Trump r X, you know,
buying direct getting favored nation.

Speaker 3 (06:15):
Pricing. I like him putting his name on it.

Speaker 4 (06:19):
It's always good when you especially when it's something that's
going to benefit somebody. I mean, now they'll be like,
wait a minute. I used to pay two hundred and
thirty six dollars. Now it's only thirty seven. Thanks Trump
r X A trumpscription. You'll probably keep pick going. He'll
he'll see the new company with this one hundred million
he's gotten in lawsuits. Everybody's up in arms over Pete

(06:43):
hexxeth in the speech. I look, there were moments that
were weird. You agree, right, I mean, I'm not being critical,
but there were moments that felt a little weird. So
the big question becomes, why do it the way they
did it? I get it, there's a new standard. We're
not going to dumb down. We're not going to lower
the physical standards to be more inclusive. We're a military,

(07:06):
we're a fighting machine. We're going to have the standards
we used to have, the bravest, the strongest. I mean,
I get all that, but it's an abrupt change. In fact,
I could go over Secretary hegseets ten point plan to
refocus the military, and if you were looking at this
through the eyes of nineteen fifty six, you'd be laughing

(07:29):
at them. Well you left one out in hal xal,
what the heck? But looking at it from the you know,
slow drift to the left of wokeness. It's abrupt. I
think Red hit it on the head. You said generous.

(07:51):
I am as a host. Most of us wouldn't do that.
That's generous. You guys are spoiled. You worked out only
on a great network with a good host.

Speaker 3 (08:04):
Somebody who shares humbly the credit? Who me? Oh?

Speaker 4 (08:11):
Can I ever brag about myself for a minute?

Speaker 3 (08:14):
Oops?

Speaker 4 (08:15):
Kid call it Wednesday? No, Red nailed it. Why did
it have to be in person? I sat and I
thought about it, and I thought about it, and I
can't come up with any other reason than reds They
wanted the band aid ripped off with everybody in the
room so they could look him in the eyes. See

(08:36):
whose arms are folded, See who's smirking, See who's rolling
their eyes. And the reason I give Red credit for
nailing it was a comment the President made before he
left to go to Quantico. I'll be looking at these people.
Anybody isn't cooperating, they'll be fired. I think I think

(09:00):
that was the good old fashioned CEO boardroom tactic. I'm
making a market visit. I'm making a new standard. In
other words, I'll never forget. Oh, how do I do
this with that, it sounds like I'm bragging.

Speaker 3 (09:14):
For real.

Speaker 4 (09:17):
True leadership is the ability to get many people to
go in one direction. And you'll be surprised what people
can do. If you dream big enough, see if your
life doesn't change. I know this sounds dramatic, right down
to the way you walk, right down to the urgent

(09:38):
look on your face, let alone the way you strategically
think and where you're spending your energy and time. Then
you're not dreaming big enough. It's that simple end of sermon.
You want to dream about really knowing God once and

(09:58):
for all. It's gonna change the way you live. You
want to achieve something. You want to lose weight. We
could all lose weight starting today, and we don't need
to pay for anything. But you're gonna eat different, you're
gonna move different, and then you're gonna look different. I

(10:24):
remember Stay, I took over five radio stations. They had
only really one and the other four stunk, and they
were getting beat by another cluster competitor by twenty shares.
And I told them exactly where we're gonna be in
exactly one year from then, And I too was looking

(10:50):
at the faces now unlike Trump. I didn't fire anybody
on the spot. I said, this is the new standard.
And my prayer is we're going to be here. My
prayer is that everybody in this room is here when
we get there. But it's probably not likely. But this
is the new standard. Rise to it and you will be.

(11:12):
Don't and you won't be. And I pretty much there
was one that surprised me and the two that I
could look in the eye as I was laying out
this new standard, I could see these people weren't winners,
These people weren't hard workers. And by the end of
the year, all that was left was people that loved

(11:33):
the company, loved their station, loved who they worked with,
loved the role they played, and loved what we were
achieving together. But you got to be in the room
when you do it, because you can see the people
that are like, oh, this is a man, Yes, let's go.
That could be the only reason for doing this. Now,

(11:55):
laying out the ten point plan is not weird at all.
We're going to end politically correct leadership.

Speaker 3 (12:01):
It's over.

Speaker 4 (12:02):
Our job is to train, prepare, and execute at the
highest level. Our job is not to be inclusive and
politically correct. Two imposing new physical fitness standards. Look, I
know the view was taken by the fat shaming. I

(12:23):
thought that was like the punchline of the whole day.

Speaker 3 (12:25):
They don't get it. This is a pet.

Speaker 4 (12:29):
I'll give you my wife's pet. Peeve my wife can't.
And I was never this way. My coach was very heavy,
and I still respected him. He was still a great coach,
and we won two state championships. And you know, but yeah,
making us run and you know he's belching and jiggling.

Speaker 3 (12:48):
It wasn't buttermager was it.

Speaker 4 (12:49):
But no, but it drives Andrea crazy. When there are
fat coaches in the NFL. Doesn't bother me at all,
but I get it. So but you want your players
in shape, and he wants his generals in shape. This
is said, enough of this, and you've seen police officers
and you're looking at him. You're going that guy couldn't
chase me down. And I can't even run anymore. I mean,
it's just legitimate and the political correctness. Impose new physical fitness,

(13:13):
tackle ideological garbage, eliminate anonymous complaints, reinstate discipline and grooming standards.
We don't want to be slobs, look like slobs who
want to be a fighting machine, who want people to
look physically mentally prepared, focusing on military strength, emphasizing merit,

(13:37):
redefining toxic leadership, purging woke leadership, revising personal personnel record retention.
These are all very reasonable. So why fly them all
in stars one through four? Admirals so you could look
them in the eye as you were laying it out.

(13:57):
And I suspect this is the new standard, but not
all will be there when it's achieved. And I think
they pretty much eyeballed them yesterday. So government is shut
down and look, we're all alive, and well, military's got
a new standard. It was awkward. Reaction was a little strange.

(14:19):
Trump's got new RX cards going out to everybody. Oh,
by the way, just to end the weird week, and
it's only halfway over. Nicole Kim and Keith Urban out
already we're seeing Keith Urban's new young girlfriend. Meanwhile, think
about earlier in the year, the Astronomers CEO at the

(14:40):
Coldplay concert. He ends up losing his job, his company,
and his wife. Not so fastly, Corso would say he
was spotted with his.

Speaker 3 (14:50):
Wife and both were wearing their rings.

Speaker 4 (14:53):
Reunited and it feels so good. They're together, and Call
and Keith are apart and He's already on to his
next girlfriend.

Speaker 3 (15:04):
Go ahead, life will shift on a diamond. Sometimes not
even give you a nickels change.

Speaker 2 (15:12):
This is your morning show with Michael del Chona.

Speaker 3 (15:16):
Ladies and get bill, Boys and girls, Mom's and dads.
Your government is.

Speaker 4 (15:22):
Partially shut down on why did you make an official
tone embarrass face that off? The government has partially shut
down after Congress failed to approve a new spending bill.

Speaker 3 (15:33):
Mark Mayfield has more.

Speaker 5 (15:35):
Democrats and Republicans had their own bills that failed to
get passed on the Senate floor on Tuesday. Tens of
thousands of federal workers will be furloughed as a result.
The government last shut down during President Trump's first term
in twenty eighteen and lasted thirty five days by Mark Mayfield.

Speaker 4 (15:51):
President Trump says the national's military is reawakening the war
the warrior spirit.

Speaker 3 (15:57):
The hex Seth and Trump ten point plan.

Speaker 4 (16:01):
To refocus the military was issued to all generals at Quantico. Yesterday,
we got a hurricane and Melda churning in the southeastern
coast of the US, and tigers Cubs red Sox and Dodgers,
all winners of Game one in the MLB Wild Card
Playoffs that leaves the Yankees as a loser to the
Red Sox. The great Julie Andrews is ninety years old today,

(16:24):
cousin Eddie, actor Randy Quaid is seventy five. The hilarious
zach aliphan akus between two friends and between fifty five
and fifty seven. He's fifty six, and former Cardinal Great
Mark McGuire, Oh yeah, Mark McGuire, Oh yeah, he's sixty
two years old. And if it's your birthday, Happy birthday.
We're so glad you were born. And thanks for waking
up with your morning show.

Speaker 2 (16:47):
This is Shannon Gregor and my morning show is your

Speaker 4 (17:22):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (17:22):
It's a Sebastian gork Cup here. This is an impersonation or
a real person. I don't know. I don't know who
it is. This is Sebastian my morning show? Is your

Speaker 3 (17:36):

It's not me, I'm telling you my listener. He's the uh.

Speaker 5 (17:45):
You know?

Speaker 4 (17:46):
Is he Hungarian Moscow on the Hudson comes to you?
I think it's Hungarian Sebastian Gorka.

Speaker 3 (17:52):
I like that. My listeners do stick. They do impersonations.

Speaker 4 (17:55):
Yeah, good morning, thirty six minutes after the hour, and
welcome to Wednesday, October the first I know it's October already.
You're of our Lord twenty twenty five hundred to serve you.
This is your morning show, and I'm Michael del jorn
of the Federal government is shut down for the first
time since twenty nineteen. Well, last time we were shut down,
GDP went up, employment went up, spending one up.

Speaker 3 (18:14):
This could be a good thing.

Speaker 4 (18:16):
Tens of thousands of federal workers are on furlough. Oh,
they'll get back pay. And some Democrats are headed to NAPA.
They're going to wine Country. As everybody tries to figure
out who to blame, we got a Hurricane Amelda churning
in the southeast coast of the US. Tiger's Cubs, Red Sox,
and Dodgers all winners in Game one of the MLB Wildcard,
which began yesterday. Did you know that Don Rickles's daughter

(18:40):
was also a stand up comedian. She's married to a
guy who started Premiere Radio Networks. Well, they got a
podcast coming out. It's called Mindy, Ed and Don, and
it's partly to keep Don rickles life sy alive and

(19:01):
tell some some of the stories that were behind some
of the great moments in his entertainment career. And you
can say hello to Mindy Rickles right now. Good morning, Nae,
meet you, Michael. I'm going to give you the most
encouraging thing I can do about your podcast, and that is,
whenever I'm scrolling Facebook reels, whenever there's a Tonight Show
visit with your father, I stop and it's pure magic.

Speaker 3 (19:25):
And that's kind of what you and ed Man, he's
my husband.

Speaker 4 (19:29):
Yes, so the two of you are going to do
this show together, and that's kind of what you're going
to do, right, talk about this performances now.

Speaker 7 (19:36):
Our second podcast drops tonight, and oh, I'm it already dropped.
I have my husband in the background explaining to me
because I have no idea what's going on now, but yes,
that we're doing it together. And it's very exciting to
really bring my dad back to life. And you know,

(19:58):
he always said keep my name alive. We're definitely trying
to do that as.

Speaker 8 (20:02):
Best we can.

Speaker 4 (20:03):
Well, what makes anybody successful, and that is being unique
and credible and in your dad's case, hilarious.

Speaker 3 (20:09):
Along with it.

Speaker 4 (20:10):
It's interesting you could always see through the act that
there was a really sensitive, very loving guy behind that stick.
But everybody listening is probably wanted what was your dad
really like at home?

Speaker 8 (20:27):
You know, that was the whole core of who he was.

Speaker 7 (20:30):
I mean, in his act he always said, I'm kidding,
I kid, you know, I'm a nice guy. That was
a big song he had in his act, and he
was really, you know, a great dad, and he he did.

Speaker 8 (20:44):
These jokes, but it was all it was. It was
an act.

Speaker 7 (20:48):
And I think the fact that he was able to
convey to an audience that he really was a good
person and really cared about his audience, that he cared
about his family. And I think if that hadn't come through,
none of it would have worked. If he'd been nasty
and just a bad kind of a guy, you know,
it would not have worked. But the audience always knew

(21:10):
that he really respected them and appreciated them, and you
know felt the same way at hell.

Speaker 4 (21:16):
So, Mindy, dad, of course was a stand up comedian.
You were for a decade. But what did your dad love?
He did television shows, he did movies, he did stand
up comedy. Was he happiest on the Tonight Show or
happiest in the middle of the night on stage in
Vegas somewhere?

Speaker 3 (21:31):
What did he love?

Speaker 7 (21:33):
I mean, I think he really loved all of it.

Speaker 8 (21:35):
He loved the Tonight Show.

Speaker 7 (21:37):
When he would come on and all the guests were
sitting there, it became like a party. He was talking
about everyone, and everyone was laughing, and the audience was
laughing with them, and it wasn't even like a show.

Speaker 8 (21:49):
He loved that.

Speaker 7 (21:49):
And he loved when he was on a roll and
he loved, you know, working in Vegas.

Speaker 8 (21:53):
He loved doing that. And also films.

Speaker 7 (21:56):
You know, he did Toy Story when he was the
voice of mister Potato Head, and he did Casino, which
he absolutely loved working with Robert.

Speaker 3 (22:04):
De Niro terrific in that role.

Speaker 7 (22:06):
Yes, yeah, Martin Scorsesesi and he loved all of that.
It was really he was thrilled to be in films,
I have to say, because he started out as an
actor and he went to the American Academy of Dramatic
Art in New York, so films. When he got to
be in a film, that was very exciting for him
because it wasn't what he usually did. He did a

(22:28):
lot of television, a lot of TV shows, but he
did love that.

Speaker 8 (22:31):
That was, you know, a great thing.

Speaker 4 (22:33):
Many Rickles, daughter of Don Rickles and her husband who
started Premiere Network of which we work for. He has
a tremendous radio career and then started Premiere Network. So
he gives you kind of the broadcasting side of it,
You give your dad side of it. How do you
pick the clips? There are so many out there, there.

Speaker 7 (22:54):
Really are, and Ed, my husband is really great with
sort of bringing it, you know, to focus and picking
clips because we're trying to pick clips. For example, you know,
one of the clips we just did, which I'd never
listened to before, was from when he was on stage
in like nineteen sixty eight at the Sahara, before he
was even in the main showroom, when he worked in

(23:16):
the lounge and he would do like four shows a
night at ten, twelve to five o'clock in the morning,
and he would go out there and he didn't even
know what he was really going to do because it
started off with when he was bombing in the beginning,
which happened. You know, he started insulting people, maybe guys
the bar.

Speaker 3 (23:34):
Maybe even mob guys girlfriends.

Speaker 7 (23:36):
Oh absolutely, yes, and that's how you know, Johnny the
nos Garbonzo and all of those mafia kind of guys.
But yes, that's how he really started getting into the
insult comedy.

Speaker 8 (23:49):
And it was very new and no one was.

Speaker 7 (23:51):
Doing that, and it was very you know, exciting, and
that's why like Frank Sinatra brought in all of his
friends and big, big stars and you know, Elizabeth Taylor
and just very major stars that would come in. And
even when my dad was doing his shows at like
five o'clock in the morning after all the other acts
on the strip were done. They would go, oh, let's

(24:13):
go see Ricklos from the lounge and they would all
go to the show and it became very exciting, and
that's how he really got his start along with Carson.

Speaker 4 (24:23):
Those clips are the real treasure, right, I mean, that's
what became the trend of all the stars going in
the middle of the night after their shows and then
brought this treasure to all of us. Mindy ed and
Don Rickles is the name of the podcast. You know,
you always talked about your mother, Barbara, and it was
so funny because you know, sometimes it would be a rip,
sometimes it.

Speaker 3 (24:42):
Would be simple. What was she really like? Your mom?

Speaker 8 (24:46):
You know, my mother was really the opposite of my dad.

Speaker 7 (24:49):
She had a great sense of humor, but she was
very low key, and my dad would say, she's a valiant,
you know, she was very she was like, let's just relax.

Speaker 8 (25:00):
And everything went into slow motion.

Speaker 3 (25:02):
But then he would that would probably just set him off.

Speaker 8 (25:04):
Oh, absolutely right. Yeah, she ran the show for sure,
and she you.

Speaker 7 (25:10):
Know, organized everything and my dad, you know, could insult
her and she loved it and she was never offended.
And the audience loved it, and they really grew to
know her as a character because he talked about her
all the time.

Speaker 4 (25:24):
I'm interested in two things. One, what did your dad
think when you went into comedy?

Speaker 8 (25:30):
He was not thrilled, I have to say.

Speaker 7 (25:32):
I mean years ago, I was an actress and he
was very excited about that. And he used to always
if I was on something or what we go to Vegas,
I'd be in the audience. He's like, my daughter, Mindy,
she's an actress. Where are you in the audience? And
I would wave. When I started stand up, he really
was like, that's very tough.

Speaker 8 (25:51):
I don't really want you doing that.

Speaker 7 (25:53):
And I really hadn't thought about it except sort of
later in life in my mid forties. And Jeff Garland,
who I was friends with and friends with his family,
he really got me into doing He's like, you're very funny.

Speaker 8 (26:06):
You should you stand up? I'm going to help you.

Speaker 7 (26:09):
So he really got me into that. I don't think
I would have done it on my own. I mean,
I was always similar to my dad and that respect
good or bad.

Speaker 4 (26:16):
Ye.

Speaker 7 (26:16):
My dad said that did not help with dates, Yeah,
he said I'd go on a date and I'm just
saying to the guy, you're gonna wear that jacket like that.

Speaker 8 (26:25):
So yeah, but it.

Speaker 4 (26:27):
Really was I'm trying to think many what it would
be like to date you, and it's time to meet.

Speaker 8 (26:31):
It wasn't It wasn't good, Michael, And then to.

Speaker 3 (26:33):
Meet the parents, I go, it's don Rickle.

Speaker 8 (26:36):
No, it was tough.

Speaker 7 (26:37):
It was tough and ed, you know, staying in there
and not walking away.

Speaker 8 (26:42):
I don't know how he did it. He's not easy.

Speaker 3 (26:44):
What kind of an act did you have? Yeah?

Speaker 7 (26:47):
I really talked about my family life growing up. I
didn't hide who my dad was. I could have gone
either way, but I figured, let me talk about it
because I thought it was an interesting kind of a
life and people, you know, we're interested in hearing about it.
And then I sort of parlayed it into my life
with my husband and my kids and just how things

(27:08):
went there. But definitely a big part of it was
how I grew up and with my dad and.

Speaker 3 (27:12):
That kind of Yeah.

Speaker 4 (27:13):
I think the part he didn't like was the lifestyle
that goes along with it. As you know, it can
be very dark.

Speaker 7 (27:18):
Very very dark, and you know, like as you said,
being a stand up you get that immediate reaction, and
then you.

Speaker 8 (27:24):
Don't get that immediate reaction, and.

Speaker 7 (27:26):
Then there's silence and it's just you in the dark,
looking out into the dark, and it's a very it's
not like a warm.

Speaker 8 (27:34):
Cozy kind of a thing.

Speaker 7 (27:36):
So he definitely was fearful for me that that was
going to hurt me, and I had to develop a
tough skin.

Speaker 4 (27:44):
But it's well, there are people that have an act
and then there are people that are just funny. Your
dad really didn't have an act as much as the moment.
He was a funny person through a character in a persona.
And there's some days you're on, in some days you're not.
That's the problem with that style. Forfortunately for you, your
dad was usually on. He's a treasure and I love
that people are going to get to be exposed to

(28:05):
his work. I love that you and Ed are going
to kind of give him the background to it as
they're hearing these acts. The name of the podcast, and
I know there are millions, so choose them wisely, and
we think this one is going to be a great one.
Mindy and Ed and Don Rickles and from Ed the
founder of Premiere for which I now work and for you,
the daughter of one of the greatest comedians ever. Do

(28:27):
you think his kind of humor would even work today,
I guess would be politically incrediblell it kind of survived
political correctness.

Speaker 7 (28:32):
I mean, he did sort of change your bas act
as times came, because he certainly wasn't doing the same
kind of act in the nineties that he was doing in.

Speaker 8 (28:40):
The sixties, for sure, So I don't know.

Speaker 7 (28:43):
I mean, he would have definitely had to develop it
and change it, and it would not be it would
not be the act.

Speaker 4 (28:50):
Yes, I was watching one the other day with Johnny
after his trip to Japan, and I can think.

Speaker 3 (28:55):
Some of those lines would not play well.

Speaker 8 (28:58):
Today, exactly.

Speaker 3 (28:59):
It was.

Speaker 7 (29:00):
It's a very different time now, and I don't know
how he would feel about that, you know, I think
he came at the perfect time. He came up at
the perfect time, and so I think that was great
because it really was the newest thing and it was
very exciting and everyone wanted to be a part of it.

Speaker 4 (29:17):
Well, he was a middle of the night treasure for
many entertainers, and then thank goodness, he became a treasure
for all of us. We were all sad and when
he was gone, and I'm glad you're keeping him alive
through this, just as he commanded you to my best
to your husband, Ed and to you Mindy.

Speaker 3 (29:31):
Good luck with this podcast.

Speaker 8 (29:33):
Thanks so much, Michael, thank you for.

Speaker 3 (29:34):
Having me, Mindy and Ed and Don.

Speaker 4 (29:37):
You'll find the podcast on the iHeart app in the
podcast section.

Speaker 2 (29:42):
It's your Morning show with Michael del Journo.

Speaker 3 (29:47):
Morning, Michael and Gang. I thought Hagsa's meeting was totally brilliant.

Speaker 6 (29:51):
Like you, he looked in the eyes set many fat heads,
male and female. The military has become too fat in
many w ways with too much administration, just like so
many school systems. It'll be wonderful to see how many
flag officers self deport from the military.

Speaker 4 (30:09):
Total brilliance. Oh, James, love that comment. I'll never forget.
This will be a something for everybody in Oklahoma listening
to listen up to Red.

Speaker 3 (30:21):
You got a mute I'm hearing. Sorry.

Speaker 4 (30:25):
Steve Largent played for the Tulsa Golden Hurricane Hall of
Fame career with the Seattle Seahawks. Was a member of
Congress representing Oklahoma. Ran for governor against a guy named
Brad Henry. It should have been a pretty one sided race,
but it wasn't. One of the things that Steve chose
to address was administrative bloat within our education system. The

(30:45):
fact that in Oklahoma we had seventy seven counties, but
we had like three hundred and eighteen school districts. There
really didn't need to be more than one per county.
There just wasn't any populations that great in any county,
even if in Oklahoma and Tulsa County. And of course
the left just turned that to oh, he's you know,

(31:08):
he's cutting education, he's getting rid of public education. Has
completely flipped the script, and the voters bought it. An
elected Brad Henry, and we missed out on not only
a great governor, but somebody I think would have may
have gone on to be president in Steve Largin. But yes,
administrative bloat is a big part of the problem. But

(31:30):
the new Secretary of warpete Hexseth, took the stage before
an unprecedented gathering of US military commanders at Quantico, Virginia, yesterday,
and he brought with him this message.

Speaker 9 (31:39):
The new War Department Golden rule is this, do onto
your unit as you would have done.

Speaker 3 (31:47):
Onto your own child's unit.

Speaker 9 (31:51):
Would you want him serving with fat or unfit or
undertrained troops, or alongside people who can't meet Mason standards,
or in a unit where standards were.

Speaker 3 (32:01):
Lowered so certain types of.

Speaker 4 (32:02):
Troops could make it In Texas, says improvements can and
must be made.

Speaker 9 (32:06):
This administration has done a great deal from day one
to remove the social justice, politically correct, and toxic ideological
garbage that had infected our department.

Speaker 3 (32:16):
To rip out the politics.

Speaker 9 (32:20):
No more identity months, DEI offices, Dudes in dresses.

Speaker 3 (32:28):
Hurricane.

Speaker 4 (32:29):
Speaking of dudes and dresses, Hurricane and Belta has formed
off the southeastern coast of the US.

Speaker 3 (32:34):
Mark Mayfield has an eye on the storm.

Speaker 5 (32:36):
The National Hurricane Center says it could become a Category
two hurricane is in headstwards Bermuda later this week, even
though a landfall isn't expected in the US, the impacts
of Amelda are being filt down the entire East coast.
A man in Florida died after being pulled into the
ocean by a rip current. Emelda and Hurricane Umberto, which
is spinning further out in the Atlantics, are causing massive
waves that lead to the dangerous rip currents.

Speaker 4 (32:59):
The Trump administration has restored roughly five hundred National Institutes
of Health grants to UCLA after they were suspended earlier
this year.

Speaker 3 (33:07):
Jim Roup has more.

Speaker 10 (33:08):
The restoration comes following a federal judge's order last week
to restore a half billion dollars in federal grant funding
frozen by the White House. In August, UCLA announced that
the Trump administration had suspended over five hundred and eighty
million dollars in grants over allegations of civil rights violations
related to anti Semitism and affirmative action. DOJ attorneys submitted

(33:30):
a court mandated update on the status, saying all but
nine grants have been restored. I'm Jim Roop.

Speaker 3 (33:37):
Tina Turner DEI fucking Love's got a lot to do
with that.

Speaker 4 (33:45):
A Tina Turner statue has been unveiled in Tennessee. Statue
was revealed during the Tina Turner Heritage Days festival in
her hometown of Brownsville. Ten foot statue resides in the
city's Heritage Park. Turner won eight Grand Me's over her career,
is in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Passed
away in twenty twenty three at the age of eighty three,
a national day that gets a lot of hype even

(34:08):
though a lot of us don't really like it.

Speaker 3 (34:11):
H what could that be?

Speaker 11 (34:13):
We are celebrating the spice blend of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg,
and clove as it's Pumpkin Spice Day. Starbucks started its
PS fall specials August twenty six, which led to a
lot of groans from customers as only thirty two percent
of us actually like it. But it's a national day
and you can celebrate with pumpkin spice, coffee, beer, high

(34:34):
bread pastries. Yeah, maybe that light percentage is going up.
I'm Bree Tennis.

Speaker 2 (34:39):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
