Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, It's Michael. Your morning show airs live five to
eight am Central, six to nine Eastern and great cities
like Memphis, Tennessee, Telsa, Oklahoma, Sacramento, California. We'd love to
be a part of your morning routine, but we're happier
here now. Enjoy the podcast.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
Two three, starting your morning off right, A new way
of talk, a new way of understanding.

Speaker 1 (00:22):
Because we're in Mistgi. This is your morning Show with
Michael O'Dell joan seven minutes after the hour and welcome
one and all to Tuesday, June the eighteenth, Here of
our Lord twenty twenty four on the air and streaming
live on your iHeart app. This is your morning show,
and I am Michael del Journo. I guess my first

(00:44):
sign that the Boston Celtics were going to secure the
championship came when my wife came to bed and I
heard the television turn from the basketball game to Bridgerton.
That was apparently the game wasn't closed anymore. I will
oh wolla. The Celtics have won their eighteenth NBA championship.

(01:05):
So we've seen this parallel between the NBA and the NHL.
Both the Celtics and the Florida Panthers get off to
a three zero lead in their final series, and it
looks like there's gonna be a sweep, and both the
NBA and the NHL, and then the Challengers have a little,
you know, burst of energy. The MAVs win big and

(01:26):
force a game five and go down. Well, the Oilers
had a big win and force the game five. Well
they go down tonight. We'll find out ABC Channel seven.
The Surgeon General, Now this hasn't worked. I don't know
that anybody. I've never heard anybody say I quit smoking
by reading the Surgeon General warning. No, or, come to

(01:48):
think of it, I don't think anybody.

Speaker 3 (01:50):
Now.

Speaker 1 (01:50):
I began smoking at a very young age, picking up
butts off the ground.

Speaker 4 (01:55):
Me too, me too, Oh disgusting, Hey grandma, you gonna
finish that?

Speaker 1 (02:02):
And then it done me. Well, you know, I didn't
want to steal, That's really what it boiled down to.
And then I realized, you know, well I could grab
a couple of moms without her knowing. That got me
off of smoking butts off the ground. And then back
in those days at the AMP they had to smoke
the cigarette machine. I think they're like twenty five cents
or something like that right outside the amp. So I

(02:23):
just wait a wait order and there's nobody here to
stop me in years. But I mean the point is
nobody ever looked at the surgeon general warning, go oh,
can't smoke. The surgeon General says it can cause this,
this or this. So the Surgeon General is calling on
social media to include health warnings for kids. Will it
work any better for kids?

Speaker 4 (02:45):
Nothing works, of course, like PSA a public service announcement?
Is that what they're calling that on social media? That's
what we used to call it. Well, everything's so weird,
you know. I remember growing up Tom Selleck I think
was the original Marlborough or one of them. He was, yeah, yeah, yeah,
And nobody made a cigarette look better than top selling.

Speaker 1 (03:06):
I thought it would grow a mustache. But you know,
then we banned the ads on television, we banned print ads.
How do you ban something that has become so a
part of kids' lives. It really boils down to parents
either allowed it and then realized the ill effects and
it was too late, or they're going to catch on

(03:27):
and learn from previous parents. But yeah, like, you know
the easiest way to quit smoking, how's that never start. Yes, yes,
and there are certain things that you know You're never
going to protect kids from certain things their entire life.
But this is a surgeon general pointing out at a
very young age what it's doing. So a need parents
to be involved and parents to make wise decisions. And

(03:50):
I can tell you his one parent, I would wait
as long as possible before I gave your kids a smartphone.
Challenges to a potential TikTok ban will be heard in
the US Appeals Court later this summer. The Russian President
Vladimir Pootin is going to meet with North Korean leaders.
Nothing could go wrong there, right, No, And one in

(04:12):
five Americans say former President Trump's conviction will make them
less likely to vote for them. Me, I'm writing in
Aaron Rayel for President of the United States. All right, well,
the stock market gaining in recent months for one K
balances have also been growing. But some workers are well,
they're having better luck than others with their investments. Aaron
Rayel is here with our story today.

Speaker 3 (04:35):
Yes, so if you look at your four one K
right now, you might find you're a millionaire. We know
there's more four or one K millionaires thanks to the
stock market of being on tear than there really ever
have been. But recent data from Fidelity finds that four
to one k plans that had over one hundred and
twenty six thousand dollars was the average. That's pretty incredible.

(04:56):
When you break it down by age, it changes dramatically.
Boomers about two hundred forty thousand, Gen Z one hundred
and seventy eight, Millennials and Gen gen Z excuse me,
gen exerts. I always get that backwards. Gen X are
the ones that liked pearl Jam. Yeah, they have one
hundred and seventy eight thousands.

Speaker 1 (05:13):
Is how you remember exes Pearl Jam and Zeus Taylor Swift.

Speaker 3 (05:17):
There you go exactly Z and millennials they have under
sixty thousand. But what's really interesting is if you break
it down by industry, So legal services has the best
four h one k ballance over three hundred thousand, followed
by petrochemical two hundred and fifty thousand, and then just
energy two hundred and forty one thousand, and the worst

(05:40):
retail trade only fifty one thousand, healthcare everyone but physicians
sixty six, and then real estate seventy those are the worst,
And that kind of surprised me that healthcare fell so
low on this list because oftentimes you have a match
from employer.

Speaker 1 (05:54):
Right. Yeah, so you know all these four oh one
k First of all, I remembering four oh Winki case
came out. It was early to mid nineties, and I
remember my boss at the time telling me, you need
to put the max into this. You do this and
leave it alone. Of course, then what happens is, you know,
you lose a job and then you cash it in.
So but if everybody would leave it alone, I guess

(06:17):
what I'm getting at is, don't those numbers strike you low?

Speaker 3 (06:22):
Yes? I agree completely.

Speaker 1 (06:26):
Means we've got to be cashing them in and borrowing
from them and doing something to keep them that low.

Speaker 3 (06:33):
Oh listen, there's numbers that say you need about a
million bucks to retire comfortably, like on average, if you
depend on how long you retire. This is not enough.
If the best is coming from the lawyers, the law professionals,
you know, industry with industries with the lowest average total
savings rate, obviously retail, obviously healthcare, the construction, scientific How

(06:54):
are we going to pay for these people to retire
if they can't help themselves. This is This ends up
being the onus is on the government, because you can't
just let your old people, you know, walk away into
the sunset die. You need to let them help live
their lives. But you know, any retirement saving progress can
be diminished if investors take out and seventeen point eight
percent of Fidelities Plan participants have done that. That seems

(07:17):
lower than I would have thought given these numbers, But
what it shows you is that the fifteen percent that
every financial advisor will say is a prudent thing to
set aside for retirement, most people aren't doing that if
they have a retirement saving The Fidelity said that about
a fourteen percent are putting away money. That's the average
total rate. But it's just how many people do have

(07:38):
this is the question.

Speaker 1 (07:40):
And then we play catch up too, you know sometimes,
but we just don't get there. And if we would
have all just put even I mean, you should try
to max it out. That makes the wisest sense, obviously,
but even if you put in something and never touched it,
you'd be far better off. I mean, the notion that
people high income earners are I'm based on the fields

(08:01):
that you're giving me, are sitting with only two hundred
thousand dollars after three decades of work, and when the
market has done what it has done just shows you
they're not putting it there for retirement. It's there as
a reserve savings and it's being used during emergencies. That's
what it tells me.

Speaker 3 (08:20):
Yeah, and it's like, well, that's what and that's what
a savings account is for it.

Speaker 1 (08:26):
And that's why about fifteen twenty years from now, we'll
still be here, me and Aaron slaving over a microphone
because we borrowed our money. Appreciate the report. A vast
majority of Americans never take all their vacation time, but
should they. That's next hour with Aaron Reel. Thanks for
joining us, Sarah. We'll talk soon, all right, if you're
just waking up, Time for your top five stories of

(08:48):
the day, and we start with the surch in general,
who is wanting social media to have the same kind
of warning labels that are on the side of your
cigarette packs because its users and their mental health as
at stake. Natalie mcgliori has more.

Speaker 5 (09:04):
Doctor Vveck Murphy used his New York Times essay to
call on Congress to require a tobacco style warning label
for social media platforms. He admitted a warning label alone
will not make social media safe for kids in their
mental health.

Speaker 1 (09:17):
New Yorkers agree, I think he should.

Speaker 3 (09:19):
Mostly it's the parents that has some monitor also. I
think the one I LA listed, but I don't think
it would work.

Speaker 5 (09:26):
It comes as recent studies show teams spend nearly five
hours every day on social media platforms like YouTube, TikTok,
and Instagram. I'm Natalie mcleori mir Lucy News Radiom.

Speaker 1 (09:37):
I the only one that thought that one bystander on
the street sounded fake. She started, Yeah, she shouted out hispanic,
and yes, something doesn't sound the good not question you, Natalie.
President Biden is reportedly prepping an executive boarder to grant
temporary amnesty for hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants that

(09:58):
could be announced as soon as today.

Speaker 6 (10:00):
Mayfield Reports reports say the White House is set to
launch a so called parole in Place plan for illegal
immigrants spouses of US citizens. The plan protects them from deportation,
grants them a work permit, and could also provide a
pathway to citizenship. I'm Mark Mayfield.

Speaker 1 (10:16):
The White House. Speaking of the White House, is disputing
the characterization of a video that critics say show President
Biden having to be led off stage. This, of course
is at the star studded fundraiser, and I watched it
and Biden was standing there. He could have just been
taking in the crowd, but it sure appeared as though
Jimmy Kimmel's wondering are they going to leave? Finally you

(10:40):
see Biden or Obama double back, take him by the
hand and lead him off stage. Come on, let's go
this way. So the question becomes, does that mean the
president's old? He's just really close with Barak Chris Carassio
as the story.

Speaker 7 (10:54):
Some commentators say the video, taken at a fundraiser in
California over the weekend, shows Biden freezing up up before
former President Obama grabs his wrist and leads him off stage.
White House spokesperson Kareein John Pierre says all the video
shows his two good.

Speaker 1 (11:09):
Friends walking off stage.

Speaker 7 (11:11):
She went on to say she believes videos showing Biden
in a bad light are deep fakes.

Speaker 1 (11:16):
I'm Chris Gronio, Jeffrey. We're very good friends. Yeah, are we?
You ever want to hold yes, and you want to
hold my hand and walk me out of the building.
That's gonna be going too far. I'll just put my
arm around you this way, Michael, it's not that he's old.
It's a love affair. After further review, there will be

(11:38):
no appeal. Here's Lisa Taylor with the Hunter Biden update.

Speaker 8 (11:42):
Hunter Biden is withdrawing an appeal of his gun conviction.
The president's son uploaded the appeal in a Delaware federal
court today, then quickly withdrew it. Biden's lawyers are not
saying why they took these actions. Hunter was found guilty
for unlawfully purchasing a gun while addicted to drugs. He
faces up to twenty five years in prison. Taylor NBC
News Radio.

Speaker 1 (12:02):
Coldplay is going to release a new album this fall.
That's good news for a lot of us. The British
rock band announced Moon Music will drop on October fourth.
They previously announced the album's first single, Feels Like I'm
Falling in Love, will be released on Friday. The band
treated audiences in Budapest at a concert Sunday night to
the first live performance of the new song. Coldplay last

(12:24):
released Music of the Spheres in twenty twenty one. The
album debuted at number four on the Billboard charts, and
after waiting a good four years for a new coldplay,
hopes are high for this latest effort. All Right, and
Sports obviously runaway. Big top story is the Boston Celtics
and they take down their eighteenth championship that moves Boston

(12:47):
past the Lakers for the most titles in league history.
Celtics Lakers, Lakers, Celtics. Tonight we have the NHL Stanley
Cup Game five, seven o'clock. If it goes the way
the NBA did in Sunset Floor the Panthers after getting
walloped in Game four, we'll go ahead and hoist the
cup after a win tonight. I had a conversation with
my son yesterday about who's more likely to force a

(13:10):
Game six. Would it be the Panthers or would it
be the MAVs. Nick felt like it could be the MAVs.
I said, no, it would definitely be the Oilers if
either and so far I'm right, So I'll know if
Bridgerton comes on. If you just tuned in, you have
no idea why I'm making that reference. Only two of
our teams played yesterday. The Cardinals beat the Marlin seven

(13:32):
to six, and the Rangers got beat up by the
Mets fourteen to two, and Hard Knocks has announced. You know,
they have the preseason and then they have the during
the season. The Hard Knocks in season is going to
feature an entire division. For the first time this year,
the AFC North will be under spotlight, so you will
throughout the season be visiting practices and meetings of the Ravens, Bengals, Browns,

(13:58):
and Steelers. This is your morning show with Michael Deltono
and welcome one and all to Tuesday, June the eighteenth
year of our Lord. To twenty twenty four. We got
a sales a heat wave. Millions facing massive heat wave
that could shatter temperature records this week across parts of

(14:18):
the USA. The National Weather Service says that some places
could experience the longest, most intense heat wave that they've
seen in decades. The highest risk is the Great Lakes region,
where I just returned from, and we had a high
fifty nine the first day we were in Ohio, kidding beautiful,
and then after that it was like sunny and seventy
two with low humidity. But that's changed. The heat has

(14:40):
arrived there as well. Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, New York City,
Boston all getting hit with higher temperatures as much as
fifteen to twenty degrees above the normal for the rest
of this week, which got me reading this article in
the Washington Post about dos and don'ts in eating and
staying cool. Now, obviously everybody knows to hydrate, and normally

(15:01):
to hydrate your body it is half your body weight
in water. But if you're out in the eat and
you're sweating, you're gonna eat more than that. So little
instinctive things you might do, like who wouldn't want a
popsicle on a hot day, or you know, an ic
cob whatever, These are all, of course, big mistakes to

(15:22):
be making. The one that probably surprised me the most
is don't eat big meals. I've heard that they suggest
that you eat several small meals. Eating a big meal
digestion creates heat and consuming large amounts of rich foods
and one sitting makes it difficult for your body to
break down. It creates heat. You're already hot, then you overheat.

(15:44):
And the same was true with if you eat too
many cold things like sitting there and eating we used
to do. I'm trying to figure out what everybody else
would do it. We call them snowballs, but snowball We
had snowball stands growing up in New Orleans, and I
used to get a large water meltonin it's just shaved
with the snow cones. But the more you put cold
things in your body, your body tries to warm you

(16:06):
up as your core temperature sinks. So it has an
opposite effect. So what seems like it would make such
great sense. Let's drink a lot of cold things and
eat a lot of cold things. No, it actually makes
your body heat up. So it is an interesting article
about doos and don'ts. The main thing is hydrate and
hydrate a lot. And as far as eating goes, more
small meals rather than big large meals, and lots of

(16:29):
fruits and vegetables. No, kiddn't believe it or not. Those
easier to digest and they help your body cool down.
So stay cool out there, or as my friend Joe
Big and Tampa, Florida always says, find your inner cool
and get through your lead wave. Ahi, it's Michael. Your
morning show can be heard live weekday mornings five to
eight am six to nine am Eastern and great cities

(16:51):
like Tampa, Florida, Youngstown, Ohio, and Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. We'd
love to join you on the drive to work live,
but we're glad you're here. Now enjoy the podcast. I'll
never forget how an old boss his mom was from
Wisconsin and choose to always bring us Kurds. She used
to bring the geese, the geez Kurds. No, I'm a
cheese not but for some reason the Kurds so much.

(17:14):
It's just in the name. But it is wonderful to
welcome the WMQ news talk listeners of oh Claire, Wisconsin
to your morning show. The Boston Celtics defeated the Mavericks
last night. That became their eighteenth NBA championship, which passes
the Lakers. Now, nobody has won more NBA championships than
the Celtics, but I think it was their first in

(17:35):
nineteen year or something like that. Really, wow, when was
the last one? Two thousand and six or eight or
somewhere in that region? Was when Piercy was there? Look,
I always this is the joy of me getting old.
We can't remember anything, and you start searching all of
my thoughts. The US Surgeon General is calling on social
media to include health warnings for kids, that health warning

(17:57):
needs to be issued to parents to parent. It's challenges
to potential TikTok ban are going to be heard in
the US Appeals Court later this summer, and President Biden
is reportedly preppiting executive order granting temporary amnesty for hundreds
of thousands of illegal immigrants. Now, Listen, we live in
a narrativized world, which is want to talk about here
in a second. So this is amnesty not for the

(18:20):
recent wave, but from previous waves years ago. That's not
going to matter much in the court room of public
opinion to the American people. What's Rory's will be back today?
Rory's big expression, that's all baked into the cake. Yes,
that's baked into the cake. That the sovereignty of our
country is at stake, that we have borders and they

(18:42):
must be protected, We have laws, they must be enforced,
and people are seeing some of the other I can't
even say it unintended consequences when they're so obvious. It's
almost as though they're intended that come with it. In
terms of chrome, we had one of Queen's at a

(19:04):
park yesterday, So you know, I think no matter what
the specifics are of this particular executive action, everybody's going
to receive it this way and sense this at a time.
With the President, we said he has an Israel problem,
he has a border problem, he has an inflation and

(19:24):
an economy problem. Well for every one of these, the
President really has a party problem. And nobody ever addresses
this out loud. In fact, if I put on CNN
or MSNBC, or pick up a Washington Post or a
New York Times, they'll have no problem bringing up the

(19:46):
Trump problem within the Republican Party. Now I would actually
debate it's not a problem why because there's nothing that
Donald You may not like his style, you may not
like his life into vitality or divorces or what have you,
but there's nothing politically that he does that doesn't match

(20:10):
the Republican Party platform. That's the difference. Now, I do
think the Republicans have a challenge moving forward. I've thought
to myself, it feels like one or both of these
parties could be gone in ten years. That's how big
the challenges for both of them. Now, for the Republicans,

(20:35):
they've got to now absorb trump Ism. This isn't like
the Reagan Revolution. Trump Ism is like a counter movement
within the movement. Now, if Republicans could just be adults
about it and say, okay, there were style issues of
Donald Trump and pathway issues of Donald Trump we may

(20:56):
not have liked, but substantively policy wise, platform wise, it
was very consistent with our party. So it should be
easy to absorb. That isn't how it felt right because
you had never Trumpers come out against Trumpers. And then
there are certain issues where the Trump portion of the

(21:18):
Republican Party gets a little over zealous, and so it
doesn't create a kumbaya. One plus one doesn't equal to
Sometimes it cancels out. That's a challenge for them moving forward.
Most of you are probably Trump supporters or Republicans, so

(21:42):
I don't have to make this case much longer. The
challenge for the Republican Party is going to be between
those who you used to call rhinos Republicans in name only,
and we got to go beyond these personalities and personality politics.
We got to realize what we see and for is
more important than the person that stand up for them.

(22:05):
You'll find unity in substance, You'll find unity in the platform.
You'll find unity in understanding. But if you allow the
personalities to creep in, you'll start fighting and you'll start dividing.
That's gonna be the challenge of absorbing Trumpism. But for
the left, the Democrats, they've got big issues. They have

(22:30):
actually Islamist influences within their party that need to be appeased.
That's what created the ISRA a problem for Joe Biden,
and it's an existing problem even after Joe Biden's gone
for the Democrat Party. And we talked at great length
yesterday about this. This is not Islamophobic, this is not hateful,

(22:53):
but Islamists are anathetical to our way of life. They
don't believe in separation of church and state. They don't
believe in freedom of speech, they don't believe in right
of assembly, they don't believe in freedom. They're not here
to be one of many. And everything they stand for
is the opposite of what we were founded and intended
to be. That's a problem for the Democrat Party. Take

(23:15):
immigration like we're talking about right now. There are many
that want the open borders. They want anybody that comes.
You're a citizen by how the GPS picks up your phone.
Oh you're in America, you're an American really, never mind assimilation,
never mind cost, never mind law and order. So here's

(23:39):
the president with a border about to cost him a presidency,
and so what does he do. Executive order, which just
completely embarrassingly outs him. Because the President has been telling
you all along he's trying to solve the border when
he's the one that broke it. Executive order reversals, executive
orders to open them. Now he wants to close them,

(24:04):
but he's got to stop, and he's got to appease
the far left of his party. So here comes this amnesty.
And whether that's the reason or not, and it probably is,
that's how it's going to be perceived. How does the
snake kill you? Just squeezes and the more you exhale,
the tighter he squeezes, and good luck inhaling. There's a

(24:27):
choking off. Now, it didn't have to be this painful
and ugly. Americans could be Americans and not be shirts
or skins they're blue or red, or Republicans or Democrats,
and just say, issue by issue, this is sensible, this
is right. But we don't we stay loyal to our teams,

(24:52):
and these divides get greater. So now they're at a
different point in their labor, I'll grant you, but what's
really biting them now is Israel and the border. And
something tells me he can't he can't please both sides
at the same time. It's kind of like trying to

(25:15):
convince us that just him and Barack Obama are so close.
That's why they walked off stage holding hands. Not that
the older person needed to find out what exit stage
right was of it. Watch what they said. Why are
you making fun of me? I don't know, because it's
just the visual. I saw the video yesterday. It was gross.

(25:37):
I mean, I don't know what's more troubling. You have
a president. By the way, the latest if you haven't
been following, and it's kind of been coming on like
birth pains, and that is the movement of conspiracy theorists
that believe that Joe Biden is either already dead or
has been replaced and somebody's wearing a CIA mask. And
so if you've if you've been watching on social media

(25:59):
every day, there's like new videos of people dissecting how
different his face is. And so the theory is kind
of like, by the way, I have to tell you
and I'm not a conspiracy theorist story and a person,
but some of the biggest things that happened seem to
imitate Movies nine to eleven was executive decision. Wouldn't it

(26:22):
be funny if we're living Dave right now? I was
thinking with Joe Biden, the real Joe Biden's already dead,
he's under the White House. Jill's having to walk around
with this guy wearing a CIA mask. Actually I find
that more interesting and exciting. What if it's like a
you know, he does bad in the first debate, and

(26:43):
then like Scooby Doo, the guy pulls off the mask
is John Podesta and the whole thing's revealed. Although it's
likely Barack Obama, but it couldn't be because Barack Obama
walk him off holding hands. So now we know it's
not Barack Obama under the mask. Yeah there's people. Really
that's not really Joe Biden anymore. Oh yeah, they can
improve it the other day yesterday, So anyway, it'd be

(27:07):
very interesting to see. I think the bottom line is
I understand that this is different. These aren't the people
that just recently came through his open porous borders. These
are older immigrants who've been here for a while illegally
that he's granting amnesty too. But make no mistake about it,
they're playing to their party because they got a problem
within their party. One part of their party wants those

(27:28):
open borders and things. Anybody who breaks in is suddenly
a citizen. So the president is trying to do both
to win an election, and I just don't think it's
going to work. Hi, I'm Dennis, I'm people of Mississippi,
and my morning show is your Morning Show with Michael

(27:49):
gill Dorner. Welcome to your morning show. I am Michael
del Jorno. At fifty one minutes after the hour, your
top five stories of the day are brought to you
today by Martha and the Vandellas. Go Heat Wow. The
heat wave of gripping much of the nation this week.
Experts they're warning people who take certain medications to be

(28:11):
extra careful. Tammy Trihilo reports.

Speaker 2 (28:14):
Those include medicines for high blood pressure, allergies, and mental health. Diuretics,
which help the body produce more urine, can lead to
dehydration and extreme heat. Beta blockers can impede the body's
ability to regulate temperature. While certain antipsychotics can affect the
ability to produce sweat. I'm Tammy Trheo.

Speaker 1 (28:32):
Remember the good old days when George W. Bush would
talk about the access of evil. Well, A couple of
them are getting together for a meeting. Russian President Vladimir
Putin will make his first visit to North Korea in
more than two decades today, Mark Mayfield has more.

Speaker 6 (28:46):
Putin will spend two days in the country after North
Korean leader Kim Jong Moon invited him when he visited
Russia's Far East last year. Russian officials in the visit
may include the two countries signing a partnership agreement. Putin
last visited North Korea in two thousand and the Russian
leader will travel to Vietnam following his North Korea trip.

Speaker 1 (29:04):
I'm Mark nephew. The White House is disputing the characterization
of a video the critics say show President Biden freezing
on stage and needing former President Barack Obama to come
take him by the hand and lead him off, which
is exactly what the video shows. Chris Carracio has the story.

Speaker 7 (29:24):
Some commentators say the video, taken at a fundraiser in
California over the weekend, shows Biden freezing up before former
President Obama grabs his wrist and leads him off stage.
White House spokesperson Kareein John Pierre says all the video
shows is two good friends walking off stage. She went
on to say she believes videos showing Biden in a
bad light are deep fakes.

Speaker 1 (29:47):
I'm Chris Kronjio. Well, the pardons have been granted. Lisa
Taylor's here with the story.

Speaker 8 (29:51):
Over one hundred and seventy five thousand marijuana convictions in
Maryland had been pardoned. Maryland Democratic Governor Wes Moore signed
the executive order issuing the pardons money.

Speaker 9 (30:00):
We are taking actions that are intentional, that are sweeping
and unapologetic, and this is the largest such action in
our nation's history.

Speaker 8 (30:13):
More went on to say the pardons won't turn back
the clock on decades of harm that was caused by
this war on drugs. Lisa Taylor, NBC News Radio.

Speaker 1 (30:22):
The Sopranos has turned twenty five, celebrating its twenty fifth anniversary.
The HBO drama debuted in nineteen ninety nine. Much of
the cast reunited at the Tribeca Festival or the documentary
Wise Guy. David Chase and the Sopranos premiered. Of course,
James Gandelfini passed away I think in twenty thirteen. Tony

(30:44):
who played poly Walnuts, died in twenty twenty two, so
all the cast was not able to be there, but
most were. And this documentary is a must see when
it comes out. It got me thinking about best and
biggest binges of my life. And I remember when binging first,
My first binge was before binging happened, because I had

(31:05):
never seen twenty four and Glenn Beck used to give
me such a hard time. You never see twenty four,
you know Glenn's passionate. When Glenn's passionate about something world's experience,
like I'm go get a beak, he for settled them.
So a friend of ours, Kelly Gedling, had the first
three seasons on tape and gave them to me, and

(31:26):
so Andrew and I put it in, put the DVD in,
and chunk, chunk, chunk, And I mean we watched all
three seasons in like two days. It's the first time
I experienced a binge, and it was wonderful to just
you know, keep going and keep going and not wait
every week for a new episode. They set it up
so well, yeah, and you just go chunk chunk chunk
into the next one. So I think that was my

(31:47):
first binge before binging was real. I know a lot
of people's was breaking bad. It was like their first
real binge, and it's felt the most when you've discovered
a series late and it's you know, you got to
six seasons. House of Cards was a big binge, but
really Sopranos was one of my favorite beinges and I
didn't do it for like, well, I just saw Sopranos

(32:09):
I think four years ago, so that was some twenty
one years, you know, after it originally aired. Dead was
my first bitch walking. I've never done walking down. So
if I do that, I'm gonna binge out right. First
four seasons were incredible.

Speaker 2 (32:22):
Then it kind of fell.

Speaker 1 (32:23):
Off because you know when I binge, I binge. Oh yeah,
I'm all in. I remember when I was I used
to be a vice president of CBN everything but the
Family Channel and the seven hundred Club, and that's when
Nintendo came out, and I so desperately wanted to get
to that final stage just to see what it would
say to me, right, And I mean, I you know,

(32:47):
I was missing work a little bit. Pat was like,
I haven't seen you. You've been traveling. Well, I've been
trying to free a princess. But you know, when you beinge,
you binge, you know, in it's hard to stop and
you feel like she's really been a bad father this week.
Just five more minutes, five more minutes. Yeah, so you know,

(33:08):
I try to, but when you finish a binge, it's
so good, and then you know, you know, you're afraid
to touch the next one that could create one. But yeah,
the Sopranos maybe one of the great all time benches
for a lot of us. That's twenty five years old. Now,
Curb your Enthusiasm is something I've enjoyed. That's the only
one I can think of that it's spawned that many
years and stands the test of time. Sopranos turns twenty five.

(33:31):
Cannot wait to see Wise Guy, David Chase and the
Sopranos documentary. For those of you that are fans, All right,
that's your top five stories of the day. When we
come back, I visit with Aaron Reale and in about
forty five minutes from now, it's National Splurge Day today.
According to a new survey, we like to go further
in debt for one big purchase a year. Oh if

(33:55):
it were only just one a year. We're all in
this together. This is Your Morning Show with Michael del
