Speaker 1: Always favorite of the week, Monday. Love it, love it,
Speaker 1: love it.
Speaker 2: We get to start a new start fresh, no matter
Speaker 2: what went wrong last week, we get a chance to
Speaker 2: do it again. And we got Thanksgiving this week.
Speaker 1: That is a great way to look at having a
Speaker 1: case of the Mondays.
Speaker 2: Yes, okay, bad news though, it's going to be some
Speaker 2: weather heads up. We do need to let you all though.
Speaker 2: If I'm sure you're catching up, but if you haven't
Speaker 2: taken a peek and you're traveling this week, there are
Speaker 2: going to be i think three weather systems they're pointing
Speaker 2: to that are going to cause problems all across the country.
Speaker 2: Was it Robes, It's in rain and snow in California,
Speaker 2: all that stuff starting to move east, and then some
Speaker 2: stuff in the South is starting to move up and
Speaker 2: east as well. So the whole country almost is going.
Speaker 1: To get a little something and coming on the worst
Speaker 1: travel days of the year unfortunately, where most people are
Speaker 1: in their cars according to Triple A.
Speaker 2: All right, so just the head up on that's Also
Speaker 2: this morning an update on that big botulism outbreak and
Speaker 2: this is a scary update. Also, three hundred kids kidnapped
Speaker 2: in Nigeria. We'll give you the latest, including the fact
Speaker 2: that some of those kids they said, escaped on their own.
Speaker 2: We'll give you the latest there. Also, as a reminder,
Speaker 2: always subscribe click that button that says follow on the
Speaker 2: top right corner of your Apple podcast app on our
Speaker 2: show page. There'll be a lot of updates this week
Speaker 2: and you can make sure they all come right to
Speaker 2: you without you having to go on them down.
Speaker 1: Also on the Run this morning, the Pope, Slenderman, Shador Sanders,
Speaker 1: Kevin Spacey, JFK's granddaughter, an accused college football player, and
Speaker 1: TSA agents will all be running with us this morning.
Speaker 2: And let's start there with something that we rarely do,
Speaker 2: Robes on the morning Run News podcast. Our lead story
Speaker 2: is a positive one and it's just gets this as
Speaker 2: a great one and we're happy to pass along. And
Speaker 2: it could be good news for you air travelers as
Speaker 2: well at the airport because want the TSA workers being
Speaker 2: a really good move today.
Speaker 1: Wrote I would hope so they got some really good
Speaker 1: news and some really great I guess something in the
Speaker 1: mail that they actually looked forward to from the government.
Speaker 2: And they earned and they deserve. Yes, TSA workers, we
Speaker 2: are told are going to all have their money today.
Speaker 2: They're going to all have their back pay. They told
Speaker 2: us the last couple of days that ninety percent of
Speaker 2: TSA workers had received their back pay. But today the
Speaker 2: rest should all have it fully covered for all those
Speaker 2: forty three days that they went without getting paid and
Speaker 2: working security at airports.
Speaker 1: And doesn't that just give you peace of mind when
Speaker 1: you know you actually are going to be able to
Speaker 1: afford Thanksgiving and Christmas that had to be on so
Speaker 1: many of their minds for so long.
Speaker 2: I kind of wished we were traveling today. I would
Speaker 2: love to go through there and see what the mood
Speaker 2: is like. But also just say thank you once again
Speaker 2: for you to We've traveled a bit during the shutdown
Speaker 2: and it was some tense time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, airport, it definitely had its impact on the moods
Speaker 1: of TSA workers and that's understandable, all right. Next up
Speaker 1: on the run, a concerning update about that botulism outbreak
Speaker 1: linked to baby Formula by Heart recalled all of its
Speaker 1: baby formula. Earlier this month because of a botulism link.
Speaker 1: At least thirty babies have been sickened in fifteen states,
Speaker 1: but now California officials say they've identified at least six
Speaker 1: other babies who had by heart formula. But get this,
Speaker 1: they were sickened with botulism at least nine months ago.
Speaker 2: Terrifying, same stuff here, So that is well outside this
Speaker 2: current outbreak. So they're trying to track this down, figure
Speaker 2: this out, and this could have been going on for
Speaker 2: a while undetected. So far, they have not, though, made
Speaker 2: a definitive link between those current sick babies and the
Speaker 2: current outbreak. But that's a hell of a coincidence, it
Speaker 2: certainly is.
Speaker 1: That's some scary stuff too, to think what you're giving
Speaker 1: your child for nourishment is actually sickening them and you
Speaker 1: didn't even know that.
Speaker 2: That was thek no deaths reported as part of the
Speaker 2: Thankfully I'll break Thankfully Continuing on the run now with
Speaker 2: Pope Leo. He is pleading for the release of hundreds
Speaker 2: of school kids kidnapped by armed gunmen from their Catholic
Speaker 2: school over the weekend in Nigeria.
Speaker 1: Three hundred students were taken Friday and this morning, authority
Speaker 1: say fifty of those kids were able to escape, but
Speaker 1: at least two hundred and fifty students and twelve teachers
Speaker 1: are missing. Those kids are between the ages of ten
Speaker 1: and eighteen. No claim of responsibility, but certainly we have
Speaker 1: seen this in Nigeria before. Back in twenty fourteen, Boko Haram,
Speaker 1: one of the terrorist organizations there, definitely claimed responsibility and
Speaker 1: we also saw it was more young girls who were
Speaker 1: trying to go to school. Many of them escaped and
Speaker 1: it was a harrowing, harrowing situation for families who were
Speaker 1: trying to find their daughters.
Speaker 2: That was all young girls.
Speaker 1: It was a young girls ago.
Speaker 2: Yes, some of them still never been found to this day.
Speaker 2: And again to this day, we can all remember Boko Haram,
Speaker 2: Boca Haram. Everybody can recall that devastating time. Schools have
Speaker 2: been closed across Nigeria and they are trying to figure
Speaker 2: this out. But so far, as of this recording, nobody
Speaker 2: had claimed responsibility, have said what they want at this point.
Speaker 2: Continuing on the run here now, one of the then
Speaker 2: twelve year old girls convicted in that shocking slender Man
Speaker 2: stabbing attack escaped from her group home over the weekend,
Speaker 2: but she's already been recaptured. Morgan Geyser. It's now twenty
Speaker 2: three years old, but she cut off her ankle monitor
Speaker 2: left her Wisconsin group home and was last seen with
Speaker 2: an acquaintance Saturday night.
Speaker 1: Yes, so, as you might imagine, it prompted a massive
Speaker 1: man hunt, but she was only on the run for
Speaker 1: one day. She was recaptured last night in Illinois, about
Speaker 1: twenty five miles from Chicago. Guys repleaded guilty to murder
Speaker 1: after excuse me to attempted murder after she and a
Speaker 1: friend stabbed a classmate. They said it was to impress
Speaker 1: the online fictional boogeyman known as the slender Man. These
Speaker 1: girls were in sixth grade. They believe this guy existed.
Speaker 2: They did a movie on this scape did.
Speaker 1: Absolutely and some scary stuff. She was placed in a
Speaker 1: psychiatric facility in twenty eighteen, but this year she was
Speaker 1: placed in a group home as part of a conditional release. Again,
Speaker 1: all those girls were just twelve years old at the
Speaker 1: time of the stabbing. But this was something that made
Speaker 1: international headlines, and frankly, I had no idea that she
Speaker 1: was on her way to being fully released.
Speaker 2: I didn't again, forgot the story, did not realize she's
Speaker 2: been spending all this time in a psychiatric facility. I
Speaker 2: believe the other young lady was.
Speaker 1: Has already been released.
Speaker 2: Huh as well, But that's the one that look she
Speaker 2: was They just just and who was arguing. You told
Speaker 2: me that did not want her released.
Speaker 1: The prosecutors they wanted her to stay. She actually was
Speaker 1: sentenced to forty years in a psychiatric facility. Because guys,
Speaker 1: are the one who escaped. She is the one who
Speaker 1: did the stabbing, that's right, as another other one just watched.
Speaker 1: Not that that's okay too, But Geyser was the one
Speaker 1: who actually committed the violent act.
Speaker 2: I'm remembering more kid. But they said she was just
Speaker 2: standing by, but she was egging her on. Yes, Oh
Speaker 2: my goodness. All right, continuing on the run here now,
Speaker 2: the White House reporting progress and weekend talks to end
Speaker 2: the war between Russia and Ukraine. Secretary of State Marco
Speaker 2: Rubio and high ranking Ukrainian officials met for talks in
Speaker 2: Switzerland over the weekend, and those talks are being described
Speaker 2: as quote highly productive.
Speaker 1: President Trump has offered a twenty eight point piece plan
Speaker 1: and is urging Ukraine to get on board, but critics
Speaker 1: say the plan is just too heavily weighted towards Russia.
Speaker 2: So we'll have to.
Speaker 1: Wait and see on that one. But next up on
Speaker 1: the run, a college football player is accused of stabbing
Speaker 1: two of his teammates hours before the team's game on Saturday.
Speaker 1: Daniel Minsey, an offensive lineman for UAB, was arrested just
Speaker 1: before the team's game against South Florida.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Officials now with the University of Alabama Birmingham say
Speaker 2: the players are in stable condition. They did not release
Speaker 2: the names of those two players. Obviously, people around the
Speaker 2: campus know exactly who has heard here. No motive was
Speaker 2: given for this. The game went on as schedule. They
Speaker 2: did talk to the players about this ahead of time.
Speaker 2: Some of them were just too shaken and opted not
Speaker 2: to go out there. They're not having a good year.
Speaker 2: They end up getting blown out in this game. That's
Speaker 2: besides the point, necessarily, but it goes to what has
Speaker 2: been really a difficult stretch of time for this team.
Speaker 2: And yes, some of them, no, I'm not going out there.
Speaker 1: Wow, I mean more details we would think would come
Speaker 1: out with this one, just because it's so unusual and
Speaker 1: unheard of but certainly glad that those two players are
Speaker 1: doing well. Next up on the run, Tatiana Schlosberg, the
Speaker 1: granddaughter of JFK, revealed in a moving essay over the
Speaker 1: weekend that she has been given a terminal diagnosis. She
Speaker 1: says the doctors have told her they can keep her
Speaker 1: alive for another year maybe.
Speaker 2: Writing in The New York Or, Schlasberg said she was
Speaker 2: diagnosed with a cute Mylloyd leukemia with a rare mutation. Now,
Speaker 2: just for the sake, we will tell you it's called
Speaker 2: inversion three. Again, I don't keep up necessarily with this
Speaker 2: something you'd heard of.
Speaker 1: No, I didn't know about just this specific type of disease,
Speaker 1: but I do know blood cancers are often very difficult
Speaker 1: to treat.
Speaker 2: And she was diagnosed with there's a blood cancer on
Speaker 2: the same day that her daughter was born last year.
Speaker 2: She goes through and tells the story rose and they
Speaker 2: noticed what something was wrong in her blood count. Blood
Speaker 2: count that was astronomical. So I'm just it's probably tied.
Speaker 2: You just had a baby this half she was what
Speaker 2: wheeled off and now not ICU. But she was wheeled
Speaker 2: off pretty quickly from her child to get taken care.
Speaker 1: Of immediate testing went on and she's I mean, to
Speaker 1: this day after a year and a half battle, she's
Speaker 1: had two stem cell transplants, she's been in remission, and
Speaker 1: then she had a recurrence. I mean, this is just
Speaker 1: a woman who has been fighting for her life privately
Speaker 1: for the past year and a half. We did a
Speaker 1: podcast on it yesterday. We encourage you to listen to it.
Speaker 1: It really is moving and if you can, please read
Speaker 1: yes her essay Battle with My Blood. It is a
Speaker 1: must read, especially going into this week, this week of Gratitude.
Speaker 1: It will change your perspective on life period.
Speaker 2: We trying to find the right word. It's touching. Yes,
Speaker 2: it's moving, but it is devastating to read like it is.
Speaker 2: You walk away not and you don't feel uplifted now
Speaker 2: you feel so down and sad and hurt for her,
Speaker 2: like you hurt for this family. And she talked about that.
Speaker 2: I'm now adding to another tragedy for Caroline Kennedy.
Speaker 1: I know, if the think that she's actually living and
Speaker 1: fighting with that guilt on top of you know, the
Speaker 1: guilt of never being able to be a mother to
Speaker 1: her children, the guilt of leaving her mom. Now who
Speaker 1: has suffered so much loss. It is devastating. But again
Speaker 1: it is motivating, yes, to recognize our gifts, to recognize
Speaker 1: the fact that we don't know when our time is up.
Speaker 1: But for those who do, they can teach us a lot.
Speaker 2: I beg you to read it, folks, please.
Speaker 1: Right next up on the Run, Kevin Spacey apparently is
Speaker 1: not homeless after all, despite the headlines you saw last week.
Speaker 1: The Oscar winner posted a video saying it would be
Speaker 1: disingenuous of him to allow folks to believe that he
Speaker 1: is homeless. As he put it in the colloquial sense.
Speaker 2: He said, folks started reaching out to him. Actually after
Speaker 2: that article posted, offering him a place to stay. Now
Speaker 2: he did his interview with the Telegraph. The article was
Speaker 2: titled Homeless, canceled and crooning in Cyprus. Now, I guess
Speaker 2: that's supposed to be catchy. Technically, I guess you're homeless
Speaker 2: if you don't have an address. But he's not living
Speaker 2: out on the street, which is what he was trying
Speaker 2: to clear up. Now. He blamed the outlet for creating
Speaker 2: a knowingly misleading headline for the sake of clicks. Those
Speaker 2: were his words in the video. He said there are
Speaker 2: plenty of people actually living on the street, but quote,
Speaker 2: I am not one of them, and it's a reminder
Speaker 2: of what has happened to him in his career. Everybody
Speaker 2: right now probably doesn't realize he has never been convicted
Speaker 2: or found liable anywhere in a court.
Speaker 1: For anything, for any wrongdoing. Absolutely, that is very important
Speaker 1: to note.
Speaker 2: All right, we will continue on this morning run in
Speaker 2: just a second. When we come back, folks, we have
Speaker 2: big new use for Schadour Sanders. Finally something went right
Speaker 2: for the brother also coming up wicked. It was supposed
Speaker 2: to be a big opening weekend. It was also would
Speaker 2: you drink beer made from recycled water from the laundry
Speaker 2: and from your shower? Well, one company is banking that
Speaker 2: your answer is sure.
Speaker 1: Continuing on our Monday morning run. Finally a win for
Speaker 1: Shador Sanders in a figurative and literal sense. Shador started
Speaker 1: his first game in the NFL yesterday and guess what
Speaker 1: they won?
Speaker 2: This is huge sharedore. Congratulations. This was his first start
Speaker 2: and his first win as an NFL quarterback. He played
Speaker 2: pretty well. They beat Las Vegas twenty four to ten.
Speaker 2: Game was in Vegas. His dad was there having a
Speaker 2: good old time in the stands, but robes even you
Speaker 2: as maybe not so close of an NFL or football watcher,
Speaker 2: you know Shador Sanders and his story well, and a
Speaker 2: lot of people do. And finally something has gone well
Speaker 2: for this young man.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he has suffered a series of I would just say,
Speaker 1: I mean as devastations too strong of a word, but frustrations, embarrassments, humiliations,
Speaker 1: whatever you want to call it. But he has definitely suffered,
Speaker 1: and so it's nice to see somebody take ownership. I
Speaker 1: remember from the moment we started hearing about all the
Speaker 1: folks just hating on him, hoping that his you know,
Speaker 1: success is the best revenge. So congratulations. Next up on
Speaker 1: the Run. As expected, Wicked did its thing at the
Speaker 1: box office this weekend, making one hundred and fifty million
Speaker 1: here in the US, beating the first Wicked movie. That's
Speaker 1: pretty impressive. First time around, they made one hundred and
Speaker 1: twelve million in the opening weekend, one hundred and fifty
Speaker 1: this weekend.
Speaker 2: Isn't it fair to say that it's the first one came?
Speaker 2: Was that two years ago? Two years damn?
Speaker 1: Time fly, time Fly.
Speaker 2: And then it had its oscar eye camera. Okay, but
Speaker 2: it's essentially been on a promotional run for part two
Speaker 2: since Part one came out. We've heard heard nothing but
Speaker 2: about these two women, all the stars, what's coming next.
Speaker 2: That's a hell of a promotion.
Speaker 1: And then Sexiest Man Alive didn't hurt either.
Speaker 2: God, Yes, hell, okay, I'll admit I want to watch
Speaker 2: this one because of him.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Jonathan Baby sounds crazy.
Speaker 2: I'm just wick. It's not mine lane necessary thing, but
Speaker 2: you've got.
Speaker 1: Girls in the house who are going to be very excited.
Speaker 1: We actually didn't see it this weekend, but I would
Speaker 1: like to see it this week.
Speaker 2: There's a lot of girls in the house and this movie,
Speaker 2: to your point, seventy women makes sense. We're in the
Speaker 2: theaters this weekend. Yes, it's the biggest opening ever for
Speaker 2: a Broadway musical adaptation. Add the international ticket sales, this
Speaker 2: thing did two hundred and fifty six million dollars over
Speaker 2: the weekend. Also, Now You See Me three came in
Speaker 2: and second at the box office. Predator bad Lands was three,
Speaker 2: and then The Running Man dropped the fourth.
Speaker 1: The box office needed a boost and Wicked provided it.
Speaker 1: So that's pretty awesome and it'll have legs through the Yeah,
Speaker 1: because we're still gonna you know, I think, oh this
Speaker 1: week will be huge folks who didn't get to see
Speaker 1: it this weekend. Absolutely movies or I don't know. I
Speaker 1: love movies on holiday weeks. So all right, for the
Speaker 1: final what too crowded?
Speaker 2: Crowded?
Speaker 1: Will you go? You know you go when we go
Speaker 1: like at eleven am. It's it's pretty.
Speaker 2: Cool, not a joke, folks, And we're not trying to
Speaker 2: get just the matinate price. We just don't want people around.
Speaker 1: All right. For the final leg of our run, beer
Speaker 1: from recycled water. Okay, I mean recycled water. That sounds
Speaker 1: that sounds fine to me. But what if we told
Speaker 1: you it's made from recycled shower water and laundry water.
Speaker 2: Doesn't make a difference to you.
Speaker 1: Sounds different, right, it does sound different, but like, well,
Speaker 1: we'll get into this. A San Francisco based I have
Speaker 1: lots of thoughts. A San Francisco based company is starting
Speaker 1: to sell what it calls shower our IPA not a
Speaker 1: good name. I don't feel like that's gonna help sa
Speaker 1: I don't think it will. And laundry Club Kolsh I.
Speaker 2: Don't think that's a good name either.
Speaker 1: I don't either.
Speaker 2: But the beers are the first release from a fairly
Speaker 2: new company called Epic out in the Bay Area. So
Speaker 2: how does this work? They collect thousands of gallons of
Speaker 2: water that goes down the drain or is lost in
Speaker 2: the laundry. Now they just do that. You have to
Speaker 2: have a system at a particular building to filter the water,
Speaker 2: so it's not at all buildings. You can't just go
Speaker 2: grab any water. But they're doing this at particular buildings.
Speaker 2: They treat They take that water, treat it, get to
Speaker 2: get it to the proper purification standards, and then use
Speaker 2: it to make beer. Simple enough, But yes, specifically they
Speaker 2: are going after water that is going down the drain
Speaker 2: and the shower and going away in the laundry.
Speaker 1: Where do beer makers get their water? Typically? Though, like
Speaker 1: I actually don't know what we do with recycled water.
Speaker 1: Could we be drinking it and ingesting it in ways
Speaker 1: we don't even realize? Or do they have to disclose
Speaker 1: this is coming from the shower drain, Like how do
Speaker 1: they how do they is shower drain water and laundry
Speaker 1: water put in a different place than sink water.
Speaker 2: Well, it's not being toilet water, not being seen necessarily
Speaker 2: as something you can or should be using again, So
Speaker 2: they are going directly to the source. And what they're
Speaker 2: doing is what you you. I'm sure they're prouds because
Speaker 2: what you just did is the point. They are just
Speaker 2: trying to bring attention to this idea that we are
Speaker 2: being so wasteful. We have all this water and there's
Speaker 2: a way to use it, and yes, you put it
Speaker 2: in a new like when you talk about beer.
Speaker 1: So they're hoping to get environmentalists to get behind their
Speaker 1: beer because of the message it sends and how they're producing.
Speaker 2: But it brings your attention to this idea of how
Speaker 2: much we're wasting and recycled water. We talk about waste
Speaker 2: all the time, but I mean, my mom told me
Speaker 2: and my dad turned the water off, you wasting water
Speaker 2: when I was at the house. But other than that,
Speaker 2: what do they tell you? Cans, paper, cardboard, all these
Speaker 2: things I'm told to recycle. I'm never told to recycle.
Speaker 1: Water, that's true, But I don't think I really feel
Speaker 1: good about drinking shower our IPA.
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, the name is the work in progress. Folks.
Speaker 2: Before we let you go, something we would like for
Speaker 2: you to consider it is our quote of the day,
Speaker 2: and this quote of the day comes to us from
Speaker 2: Tatiana Schlosberg, the granddaughter of John F. Kennedy, who just
Speaker 2: put out an essay over the weekend of The New Yorker.
Speaker 2: We have been talking about and folks, a lot of worlds,
Speaker 2: a lot of folks have been talking about her over the weekend.
Speaker 2: But so many things in there moved us. But I
Speaker 2: wanted to pluck out this kind of upbeat quote that
Speaker 2: she gave us, and she said, I have never encountered
Speaker 2: a group of people who are more competent, more full
Speaker 2: of grace and empathy, more willing to serve others than nurses.
Speaker 2: Nurses should take over. We talked about it when she said, like, damn,
Speaker 2: that's it right there. Nurses are incredible. But when she
Speaker 2: said nurses should take over, I thought that was a
Speaker 2: sweet nod to the industry.
Speaker 1: I agree, anyone who has spent any time being cared
Speaker 1: for in a hospital, you walk away with such a
Speaker 1: greater appreciation for those men and women who are there
Speaker 1: throughout the night, no matter what, working holidays, working weekends,
Speaker 1: working night shifts, and with smiles on their faces, doing
Speaker 1: some of the most thankless work changing bedpants, dealing with
Speaker 1: people who are probably not at their best in terms
Speaker 1: of their temperament because they're in a hospital bed, perhaps uncomfortable,
Speaker 1: and they're there to make you feel comfortable despite what's
Speaker 1: going on in their lives. I appreciate that nod to nurses.
Speaker 2: It was long, it was sweet, it was about her.
Speaker 2: There was a lot in there. But I don't think
Speaker 2: that's going to make headlines, but it's certainly jumped out
Speaker 2: at us. So I have never encountered a group of
Speaker 2: people who are more competent, more full of grace and empathy,
Speaker 2: more willing to serve others than nurses. Nurses should take over.
Speaker 2: I just thought that was a cool way. What if
Speaker 2: a nurse was the president. What if nurses were in
Speaker 2: the cabinet, What if mostly nurses were serving in Congress?
Speaker 2: What of nurses? Right, there's just a mindset of temperament
Speaker 2: that a nurse has, male female, just nurses. There's something
Speaker 2: special about them. So glad we can make that nine.
Speaker 2: We always appreciate you running with us, folks. For now,
Speaker 2: I'm TJ.
Speaker 1: Holmes and I'm Amy Roboch. Go have a wonderful Monday. Everybody,
