Every week, the news gets worse. The world gets crazier, and Yamanika is here to tell whoever's responsible, you're the problem. Do you know I just found out who Sidney Sweeney was? If he got a bunch of women, then I should have a bunch of men. Do better or do less, so I don't have to do so much. I'm Yamanika, and I'm out. Listen to You're the Problem with Yamanika on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast.

I'm Jake Brennan, and on the Disgraceland podcast, I explore the wild lives of rock stars and unbelievable true crime stories from music history. These are the stories you haven't heard, the kind you'll end up telling someone else. Like the time Paul McCartney spent in a notorious prison or the bizarre crime Lady Gaga is accused of, or that time Blondie's Debbie Harry escaped Ted Bundy. Listen to Disgraceland on the Iheart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Bill, why is my eye twitching? Does this mean I'm in perimenopause? Where's my phone? Juliana, maybe we can ask an actual human. Yes, because I have questions. And I bet you do too. Like, is it normal to sleep in separate bedrooms? We do that. And I still need to know why my poop's been green. We've got actual people answering these exact questions. Listen to Bill and Juliana. The podcast. On the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to your podcast. Hey, it's Michael. Reminding you that your morning show can be heard live. Each weekday morning, 5 to 8 central, 6 to 9 Eastern, can great cities like Nashville, Tennessee, Tupelo, Mississippi, and Sacramento, California. We'd love to be a part of your morning routine and take the drive to work with you. But better late than never, we're grateful you're here now. Enjoy the podcast. Starting your morning off right. A new way of talk. A new way of understanding. Because... We're in this together. This is your morning show with Michael Del Journal. We've had about 22 of those Fridays already, haven't we? Welcome to Friday, June the 5th, Yeah, Val-Lord, 2026. By the way, would you like to, before we even start the show, this is your morning show. I'm Michael Del Journal. Red is our content producer. Jeffrey is our show producer. He's one that's selected. This particular song, would you like to apologize for criticizing my Morgan Freeman earlier this week or not? I'm sorry that I was confused. I thought you were doing Miss Daisy. Don't tell me a colonel how to run my war? I thought you were doing- That's a good Morgan Freeman. It sounds more like Miss Daisy from driving Miss Daisy. I thought Jessica Tandy. Jessica Tandy didn't talk like that. I couldn't tell. I didn't know. Don't tell me a colonel how to run my war. Sounds like Jessica Tandy to me. Now do Morgan Freeman for real. Okay, now I'm putting you on six-week employee probation. If you are just waking up on this, did I mention it's Friday, June the 5th, Year of Our Lord, 26 officials are still counting balance in California. Don't tell me how to count balance in California? No, still not. That sounded more like Morgan Freeman. Oh, you know what. Don't play with me. I'm just trying to come off. My brother, Vic, used to do that when I was a kid. I always did impersonations. I could do every teacher in school. And then I would do somebody. And then I would do somebody go, oh, hey, wait, wait, Moak, that was great. Do it again? Do it again? And then I'd do it again. And then I'd do it again. No, it doesn't sound like him.

Just to build me up buttercup and then let me do. That's what you're doing. Don't tell me that. So I do Morgan Freeman more. And then you go, no, it sounds like Ms. Daisy. Plus, I think you, what thinking of Catherine Hetburn anyway? Not Miss Tandy, weren't you? But it did. I was confused at first when you asked me. I was like, is he doing Miss Daisy? This only came up because it was Morgan Freeman's birthday, by the way. Yeah, that's true. Don't anybody panic. He didn't die or anything. Officials are still counting ballots in California. Election officials in California say about 700,000 ballots. have yet to be counted in Tuesday's primary. Did I mention it's Friday in Tuesday's primary? President Trump says the U.S. will win the war one way or another. I wouldn't say it that way. I'm not being critical of the president, but just say, why wouldn't the president say the U.S. will end this Iranian war one way or another? Now, that I love. We will win. You already won. No wonder people doubt whether we're winning the war. You aren't proclaiming it over yet. What can they possibly do? A takedown of alleged fraudsters in Ohio is being announced by the Department of Justice. In fact, there are sounds like that day that's dominated by that news conference. Everybody had some fraud to reveal yesterday. New York Times says the, I got to interrupt and do this. Red predicted there's more to come. Red predicts that ultimately we're going to, we're going to see a body part pick before this is over. I might as well get that out there, Red, so you get the credit when it happens. You said, oh, this was yesterday. Wait, I can't do Red. Jeffrey does. Do Red doing, oh, there's going to be more women coming forward. Michael, there's going to be more coming forward soon. You can count on it. No, that doesn't sound like that. No, it did. Oh, see, there you go. I'm being Vic. He did say there'd be more women coming forward. Guess what? Waking up this morning, more women came forward. The New York Times says ex-girlfriends of Graham Platner now claim that the main Democrat Senate candidate was basically a toxic, abusive, and in one case, physically abusive boyfriend. Now, you know what's coming next, right? The Hillary Clinton sit down. This is a vast right wing. Can't even do that. A vast establishment Republican Party. He likes to, I love, I love the way he's handling it. Because it reminds me of Dexter. You know, Dexter didn't view himself as insane, sociopath. Criminal. No, he just had a dark passenger. I have to feed my dark passenger. That's kind of what Graham is doing. Graham Platner just keeps talking about, well, that was my dark phase, his dark passenger. I think I'm going to now start calling him Dexter. The tattooed Dexter. We'll talk more about that. Rasmussen has a poll that basically just proves. that America barely gets this war, and they certainly know nothing about its enemy. I'll break that down. And in big picture, the president really finds himself in a three-front war. It's really five, six, seven front, but three-front war from the perspective of he's got to fight Russia, he's got to fight Iran, he's got to fight terrorists. In some cases, he's got to fight with allies, whether it's Volodymyr Zelensky or Benjamin Netanyahu.

And then at home he's got to fight Democrats and the media. And then now I guess we can add he's got to fight Republicans as well. As the Republicans are beginning this trend of sticking it to the president for Republicans uniting with Senate Democrats to block the president's voter ID bill. As revenge for the president's involvement in midterm primaries continues on Capitol Hill. North Carolina hurricane came back. I could not hang on any longer as it is. My aura ring is telling me to take it very easy today and watch my step. I've got so little sleep. But it was the Carolina hurricane in overtime, winning four to three. Hey, that's the best you can do after losing game one and really being outplayed in game two, quite frankly. At least you're getting out of Dodge tied one game apiece. Game... Three will be tomorrow night in Las Vegas. Game two in the NBA finals is tonight in San Antonio, the New York beloved Nickabockers, who lead the series. One game to nothing will be taking on the spurs. That's pretty much the roundup, if you will. We had a great visit. It was Tuesday or Wednesday, I can't remember. You know, you're always seeing the ads for Morgan and Morgan. What? It was Monday, Monday. I was just being hypothetical. I need the answer. But we had a great interview Monday with John Morgan of Morgan and Morgan. This is a very wealthy man who is out with a new book called Life is Luck, Lessons from a Paperboy, which I thought one of the more interesting things we talked about was being a young paper boy says a lot about somebody. I remember growing up, you know, we would all be athletes. But we all kind of secretly thought to ourselves, you know, these nerdy smart people, they're going to have the big house. Unless we really make it. They knew how to collect. And then we just kind of knew like Eagle Scouts. Those are kind of like special people. An Eagle Scouts are going to go on to something. They're going to be special forces or, you know, they're going to do something. Now I think John Morgan has convinced me. Keep an eye out for young paper. Well, we don't do papers anymore, but the way we used to, because you had to do sales to get your customers. You had to get up early before everyone else's day started. You got your job done. And then you had collections and billing. It really is a, you can be a good paper boy. You can run a business. You ran a small business as a paper boy. So I will give you this giveaway. Life is not luck. There's a lot of faith to this man. There's a lot of hard work in this man. But he's trying to give people, and I love the way the old expression goes, that success leaves clues. And role modeling is a great shortcut. And that's what this memoir really is. A message to everyone about dreaming, working hard, doing smart things, making sacrifices. Creating your luck is kind of the thesis. But life is luck. Lessons from a paper boy, John Morgan. And we do find out how many Morgans there are. And if there were any Black Sheet Morgans who chose not to be attorneys in that family. We got Morgan, Morgan, Morgan, Morgan, Morgan, Morgan, Morgan, Morgan, Morgan, Morgan, Morgan. We're missing a Morgan. Oh, Judy went off to the Peace Corps. John Morgan will join us next half hour. Roy O'Neill with the war in Iran.

It's lowered U.S. petroleum reserves to the lowest level since 2004. I know the right was concerned. When Joe Biden lowered those reserves, are you concerned now that President Trump is doing it? John Decker is going to be joining us from the White House. He was with the president in the Oval Office yesterday. How do I know this? I got several pictures. Why? Should we confront him today while he sends so many pictures of him and the president? I mean, I know there's name dropping. Is there photo dropping? Is there such a thing? Well, yeah. I'll take a picture of me and Jimmy's suits today and I'll photo drop him. See if he's impressed. You ought to put that on the social media. I could do that. But Decker's was in the Oval Office with the president and the discussion was centered around energy. We'll get to the bottom of it with him. Fighting Iran, fighting Benjamin Netanyahu, fighting Republicans at home. Presidents had a rough week. We're going to ask him about it all. Today is Friday with 47 in the third hour. As we like to say, the weekend doesn't really start until Friday with 47. Visit with Dr. Joe in the doctor's office. A new study says, OZempic may be responsible for more than just weight loss. What now? First of all, stop right there. There's a lot of what now is coming. Sure, it's going to lower your blood sugar. Sure, you're going to lose weight and look thinner in your clothes and people are going to notice. But you're still taking something that people haven't taken for years and decades. We're going to find out some things. It may be reshaping your brain as well as your body. Oh, that got your attention. Look at the look on your face. Where's the kaboom? You're probably wondering. Yes, there's that. That needs to be more handy. In fact, it would have sounded like this. What are we finding out about Ozempic? It's reshaping more than your body. It's reshaping your brain. You stink. I was too quick. I think I like my better anyway. I've got like seven of them. Yeah, but mine is, listen, we're finding out some things about Ozempic. It's doing more than just reshaping your body. It's reshaping your brain. That's a little more airplane-y, I think. I got that one. I've got that one. I got this. No, the short one would work if you could get your timing, I think. You had the right one. Okay. Anyway, don't you just love when you hear the paper rip and you know you're next in the doctor's office. Dr. Joe Goloddy coming up in the third hour as well. We've got a lot to cover. We're going to cover it all together because we're going to attempt to understand it better together. We're all in this together. Miss a little. You'll miss a lot. Miss a lot and we'll miss you. Well, golden silver recently soared to record highs. I'll admit it then pulled back a little bit. So our precious metals still a good buy? That's a legitimate question. And major banks think so. They're forecasting even higher prices ahead. And why? Well, we're still $40 trillion in national debt. We have a declining dollar in inflation that keeps shrinking our savings. And even with corrections along the way, gold remains a historical hedge for wealth protection. Maybe that's why Morgan Stanley just ditch their 60-40 stock-to-bonds portfolio. They're now recommending 20% in precious metals. They're getting educated. And we should too. Call dear capital, 1,800, 880, 2424. Get your free gold investment kit. No pressure to buy.

Yeah, that's cute, but can you pick up peanuts with it? Bob boom, baby. It's a bad joke Friday forming here. All right, 25. That was funny. I like that one, John. 25 minutes after the hour for just waking up, four Republicans are uniting with Senate Democrats, all to block President Trump's voter ID bill. Senator Susan Collins of Maine, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, and Thom Tillis of North Carolina broke ranks with Republicans on Thursday in their latest attempt to pass the Save America Act. The federal bill would impose new voter restrictions ahead of the November elections. Senate Republicans tried to pass it on Thursday by attaching it to a budget package to fund ICE, which needed at least 60 votes to pass. I'm Mark Mayfield. Speaking of ICE, this wasn't that. More than a dozen arrests were made during a joint law enforcement operation Thursday at MacArthur Park arrests were happening in the dark in Los Angeles. The operation targeting drug trafficking, gang activity, and other criminal offenses not related to immigration enforcement. Here's how the LAPD and DEA laid out the operation. Every DEA agent has teamed up with the LAPD officer and we're here to support them. Obviously, if there's somebody selling drugs or committing a federal crime, we will take that. But as far as drug use, that is in the jurisdiction of the LAPD. Officials say the effort is part of a broader campaign to dismantle what they describe as an open-air drug market fueled by fentanyl and methamphetamine. A final phase of the initiative is expected to focus on treatment and recovery services. Speaking of California, the governor, Gavin Newsom says, California derangement syndrome. Now that's a real thing. This sort of obsession tearing down California, focusing on what's wrong with the state, not what's right. Gavin Newsom speaking at the U.S. Conference of Mayors in Long Beach this week. We have no peers, and I don't say that arrogantly. I say that truthfully. Gavin Newsom then spoke about the state's economy. California dominates not only compared to the other 49 states in terms of our GDP growth, but every developed nation. in the world. He says the California derangement syndrome is fueled by conservative media and podcasters. I'm Jason Campedonia. Well, some moviegoers are having to endure their own Odyssey to get tickets to see Christopher Nolan's latest film. Tickets for IMAX and other premium large format showings of The Odyssey went on sale Thursday morning and immediately saw sky high demand. So many fans tried to buy tickets that AMC had to put its ticketing app on hold.

Weight time stretched up to an hour when sales resumed. Vanango users also reported issues when trying to buy tickets. The film starring Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Ann Hathaway, and Sendea. It's theaters July 17th. I'm Mark Mayfield. Dasa says they will announce the crew of the Artemis 3 mission this month. And those astronauts are going to go in space and style. The astronauts will be wearing test flight suits and lunar mobility units designed by Axiom Space, an high-in fashion house, Prada. The space agency says the suits will maximize mobility and fit, offer thermal protection, and have built-in high-definition cameras, all at a cost of over $228 million for the development and testing of the lunar spacesuits. I'm Bree Tennis. Let's hope astronauts wear Prada goes better than Devil Wears Prada, too. This is P.B. from White House, and your morning show is my morning show with Michael Del Giorno.

I tell the stories behind music's biggest names, the moments that shaped them, haunted them, and changed music history forever. Like how the story of the foo fighters and Dave Grohl isn't just about music. Imagine that. You're in the biggest band on the planet, as Dave Grohl was in 1994 in Nirvana.

Listen to new episodes every Tuesday, bonus episodes Thursday, and rewinds on Sunday on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Bill, why is my eye twitching? Does this mean I'm in perimenopause? Maybe I have adult ADHD. I need to look this up. Where's my phone? Juliana, your phone is hot to the touch. I think it's asking you for a break. You know what? Maybe I should just ask chat GPT. Or maybe we can ask an actual human. Yes, like a couple sex therapist. Whoa, that escalated quickly, but...

Okay. Because I have questions. We have questions. And I bet everyone has questions. Like, is it normal to sleep in separate bedrooms? We do that. How about this one? Is bribing your kids bad parenting or just negotiating? Oh, and I still do need to know why was my poop green that one time? Hypothetically, right? Okay, well, instead of letting the internet guess, we've got actual people answering these exact questions. And laughing with us has got to be better than spending three hours down a rabbit hole online. Listen to Bill and Juliana. The podcast. On the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to your podcasts. I'm Stephanie Young. The hit podcast Love Trapped is back with new updates in the case of Laura Owens.

But better late than never. Enjoy the podcast. Rise and shine. We've got a Friday to understand together. The 5th of June, Year of Our Lord, 2026. this week to the Your Morning Show Kitchen Table. There's the News and Talk Authority, AM 1240, WATN in Watertown, New York, at 92.7 W. QTK, North County's News and Talk Authority in Ogdensburg, New York. A couple of upstate New York cities. Close to that Canadian border joining us and welcome. Make yourself at home. Now we call it Your Morning Show because it's the show's about you, not me. And how we can all together have more fun and understand and solve these things better together. Love to hear from you. We start with, I believe, Terry near Nashville. Good morning, Mike. This is Terry in Tennessee. I got to say it doesn't sound a whole lot like Morgan Freeman. Oh, what are you talking about? Just saying. Don't tell me how to do my Morgan Freeman. By the way, here is the scene. Oh, St. Peterson's team. Don't tell me who to send on an assignment, Colonel. Don't tell me who to send on an assignment, colonel. That sounds like Jessica Tandy a little bit. Oh, you're garbage. Big Johns in Poughkeepsie, New York. Let's not forget the Belmont Stakes this weekend. It's a short race, mile in a quarter. I'm going to try to go back to back. There's a lot of good trainers and jockeys matched up here. It's a tough race. It's a closer race. Give me Renegade. I hate to pick the chalk to edge out, Chief Wallaby. You know, I do agree it's a closers race. Don't forget the ultimate close we've seen since Secretary, Golden Temple, who won the Kentucky Derby, will be in this Belmont steak.

I have to agree with you. First of all, I think Noster del Grono will be victorious no matter what. I said there'd be a different winner in all three jewels of the triple crown, and there will be. I'm with you. I like Renegade. I just think I like Renegade edging out Golden Tempo, not cheap wallaby. Speaking of Morgan, what about John Morgan of Morgan and Morgan law firm? You see those commercials everywhere. You're probably wondering how many Morgans are they? Well, maybe we'll find out. He's joined us earlier this week to preview his new memoir, Life is Luck, Lessons from a Paperboy. It's our spotlight interview of the week. Good morning. How are you? I want you to know you're among family and friends here, so much so that I would love to talk to you about your feelings about turkey. That's how well we know you. Well, you know I'd rather have tofu than turkey. You did. Were you shocked at how viral that went? Oh, turkey tastes like, you know what? I was telling your guy I was at the derby this year. Seven different people walked up to me. I didn't know them. And they just walked to me and said, guess what? Turkey tastes like. blank. And I was, you know, at the derby. Yeah, no. But I mean, it was not just that it was funny. It was true. And like a good attorney, I mean, you made a very compelling case. And let me tell you, the reason why I gravitated towards it was one year, I looked at my wife and I said, why do we do this? None of us like it. And we had. Have you ever been in a restaurant? And I don't want to redo the whole bit. So we did filets, asparagus, baked potatoes, our greatest Thanksgiving ever. I don't know who said we have to have turkey. It's the worst food possible other than Buzzard. John Morgan is joining us with Morgan and Morgan. It doesn't matter what city I'm in. I can't catch up with you guys. You know, I mean, you're everywhere, your billboards, your commercials, and thousands and thousands of attorneys. I guess my first question is, how many Morgans are there, number one. Number two, there's got to be a Morgan that said, no, I don't want to be a lawyer. And they're like, you know, a landscaper or something. Or is it just, you're born, you have no choice. I met my wife in law school. All three of our sons are lawyers. We have a daughter who said, not me. Did she good? Okay. So she's a fashionista. And that's what she does. I love, I think it was Tony Robbins who first said this. I love to role model. It's a great shortcut in life because success leaves clues. And so I don't want to talk to failures about how to be successful. I want to talk to successful people about how they became successful. And then you come out with this memoir and what do you say? Life is luck. Lessons from a paper boy. Life is best understood looking back. You look back at the paper boy. You know what you are now and your feelings on turkey.

undisputed success. It's got to be more than luck, but why do you start with luck? I'll start with luck because... The reason I wrote it, I was on the cover of Forbes magazine as one of the world's billionaires. And when you look at that, you're like, is that really me? Is that who I, is that me? And then you start looking back from the very beginning. And when I went back to the very beginning, I went to my paper route in Lexington, Kentucky. And for anybody listening that was a paper boy or paper girl, Oprah was a paper girl, You all know we're in a sort of a fraternity together. We did something hard early. We had a genetic seed to get up out of our warm bed before school and deliver papers every single day. And I kept thinking... And I started looking at who were paper boys. Walt Disney was a paper boy. You know, there's so many. I meet people at parties that go, hey, were you a paper boy? They go, yeah, why? Because there's this genetic seed that we won the genetic lottery that we were built for work and entrepreneurism. And then I took that and went all the way through my life. I have my law firms across America, but I have a chain of attractions and hotels and shopping centers. And I looked at all those different turns. And what I realized is this, there were 1,000 left turns, 1,000 right turns, and I ended up here. And one different turn would have made everything different. But I also know that I worked my ass off. Well, it's funny you bring up the paper boy, because the paper boy, I didn't do it, by the way. I had a lawn service, but it was very similar. Same thing. Same thing. Yeah, yeah. Exactly. You have to get clients. You have to do collections. You have to do billing. And you have to work hard. I think what it sends, and I used to say this to people all the time, rarely in radio anyway, especially as a program director, could anybody outthink me? But even if they could, they were never going to outwork me. And the two together make you unbeatable. But I guess what fascinates me because I have you, and I have you on behalf of the listeners too, you kind of make your own luck too. Or I wouldn't say it's about luck. I look back at my life and everything I see is God's hand. I thank him for all the things that I wanted to do that he didn't allow to happen, the things I tried to run from that he wouldn't let me run from. So for me, you know, life is all about God's will versus mine and me fighting it. It's interesting you say that, and I haven't really hit on this, but when I look back at my life, there were some very close calls where it all could have really gone bad for me, really bad. And then I remember that prayer, have you heard the footprints in the sand where the guy looks back and he says, you know, I looked at my life and your footprints were always with me.

But the most difficult times, there was only one set of footprints, mine. And then God says, when you see one set of footprints, that's when I picked you up and carried you. And I thought about that by writing my book. I thought about some of my most difficult times where I really felt desperate and alone. But looking back, it was almost miraculous. Isn't it true from even a successful standpoint or even if those didn't have the measure of success that you've had, that sometimes when we're at our weakest point, when we are the most lost or have the most closest to coming to giving up or hit rock bottom, that's really the moment we're on the verge of a miracle. Yes, yes. Because our ego gets stripped away. We get humble, you know, arrogance. People get very successful and they think it's all them and not luck or God or nature or whatever. And that arrogance is usually what causes bad luck. And in my book, I talk about ways to avoid bad luck. They have rules in casinos. You don't hit on 16. Those same rules are in life, different rules for business. But they also have rules to enhance luck. You get dealt two aces, you split two aces. I think we were separated at birth and I did not become successful. When I heard you wrote a book, my first thought was, if this guy can do to turkey what he did in three minutes and 50 seconds, I can't imagine what he does with a lifetime and you're giving us a glimpse. The book is called Life is Luck, Lessons from a Paperboy, John Morgan of Morgan and Morgan. You know, I think so often I have three kids and I can see what they're struggling with. I know what I struggled with at their age. This window of life where I have to choose what I'm going to be and then feel locked into it kind of a thing. And then I'm sitting here at 61 going, I lived life. I know what I thought I was going to be. I know what God made me. I know what I'm capable of. I know what God's capable of, which is everything. Stop thinking about what you're going to be. Just worry about who you're going to be. How much of your life lesson points to that? Like there had to be. forces like you bring up your wife i bet there were a lot of those key moments you were about ready to make an investment didn't feel right with her soul maybe one time you didn't listen to her and learn next time you did listen to her i mean what are those kinds of intangibles and how does the book help present them to everybody in a useful way we lost john i think we've lost uh i think we've lost john morgan

Graham Platner, well, Red predicted it. Red Adomis called this one. There's going to be more women coming forward. Well, guess what? There's more women that came forward. Some are even accusing him of physical abuse.

The New York Times interviewed several women who recounted various episodes with the embattled Maine Democratic Senate hopeful. When said Graham Platner twisted her arm and shoved her into a bedroom, while another claim the combat vet fantasized about killing people he considered a threat and said he would rape home intruders. In an interview with MS Now, Graham Platner denied all allegations of physical abuse. He also denied an allegation from another ex-girlfriend that he knew his tattoo was associated with the Nazi SS.
