1
00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:07,720
Speaker 1: Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast. Good morning, everyone,

2
00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:11,560
Speaker 1: and welcome to Morning Run. It is Friday, December thirteenth.

3
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 1: I'm Amy Robots and I'm.

4
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 2: TJ Holmes and on the run. This morning, Trump and

5
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:19,360
Speaker 2: Elon Musk romance may not be exclusive anymore. With two

6
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 2: other billionaires spending some quality time with the President elect.

7
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:26,040
Speaker 1: Could we see the end of some childhood vaccinations? Trump

8
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 1: wants to have what he calls a big discussion that

9
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 1: could have huge implications.

10
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:33,280
Speaker 2: Man, what's going on in the skies above New Jersey

11
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 2: and New York? Congress wants some answers after weeks of

12
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 2: unexplained large drone like objects hovering over homes and military installations.

13
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 1: New York prosecutors are presenting evidence to a grand jury

14
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 1: linking Luigi Mangioni to the healthcare CEO murder, while anonymous

15
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 1: donors are sending tens of thousands of dollars to bolster

16
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 1: his defense funds.

17
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 2: Also this morning, another recall. But it's not about what

18
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 2: you're eating it, it's about what you're drinking out of.

19
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 2: We'll explain the Stanley mug recall.

20
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 1: Plus is looking for love an actual job, A legal

21
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 1: move by some love as blind contestants could shake up

22
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 1: the entire reality show industry.

23
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 2: And as we mentioned off the top, it is Friday

24
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 2: the thirteenth. Some call this the unluckiest day of the year,

25
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 2: but this could end up being the luckiest day of

26
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 2: your life. We will explain.

27
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 1: All right, We begin our run on this Friday morning

28
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 1: with a warning Elon Musk better watch out. Two other

29
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 1: high profile billionaires are making a move on Musk's buddy.

30
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 1: Of course, we're talking about President elect Trump.

31
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 2: And the billionaires are Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff Bezos. They

32
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 2: are taking a dinner and donation approach to improving their

33
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 2: relationship with the incoming president. First up, let's talk about

34
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 2: Mark Zuckerberg. His company Meta has donated a million dollars

35
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 2: to President elect Trump's inaugural fund. Meta is the pairing

36
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 2: company of Facebook and Instagram. The seven figure donation comes

37
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 2: after the two men dying together at Trump's Mar A

38
00:01:57,960 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 2: Lago resort last month.

39
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 1: This signal a change in the relationship, you could say

40
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 1: that between the two men. Just this year, you might remember,

41
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 1: Trump threatened Zuckerberg with life in prison if he interfered

42
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 1: in the election, and in twenty twenty one. Facebook and

43
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 1: Instagram suspended Trump's accounts after the January sixth insurrection, and

44
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,959
Speaker 1: in years past, Trump is called Facebook anti Trump and

45
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: an enemy of the people.

46
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,239
Speaker 2: Well, it's turned to Bezos now Amazon. His company is

47
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 2: making a million dollar donation to Trump's inaugural fund as well,

48
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:32,640
Speaker 2: but also Amazon Prime Video will stream the inauguration live

49
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 2: and what the company is calling an in kind donation

50
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,239
Speaker 2: that would essentially amount to about a million dollars. The

51
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,639
Speaker 2: Wall Street Jeneral reports Bezos will also head to marrow

52
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 2: Lago in the coming days to meet with Trump. Bezos

53
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:47,079
Speaker 2: also owns The Washington Post, which stirred controversy before the

54
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 2: election by deciding not to issue a presidential endorsement, which

55
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,959
Speaker 2: many found to be an endorsement of Trump. Essentially, it

56
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 2: was widely viewed as a movement to just curry favor

57
00:02:58,360 --> 00:02:58,920
Speaker 2: with Trump.

58
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: Ain't it interesting to watch everyone shift, perhaps or adjust

59
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 1: to the reality of what will be the next four years?

60
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, kiss the ring, go kiss the ring at mar Lago.

61
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,639
Speaker 1: You just said it perfectly. Nothing else needs to be said,

62
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 1: all right? Next up on our run, Trump is opening

63
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 1: the door to ending some childhood vaccination programs in this country.

64
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 1: In his Person of the Year interview with Time magazine,

65
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 1: Trump said he will be having a big discussion with

66
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,639
Speaker 1: Robert F. Kennedy Junior, who he is tapped to run

67
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 1: the Department of Health and Human Services, and.

68
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 2: As directly if that discussion, that big discussion could lead

69
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 2: to eliminating some vaccinations, Trump said, it could if I

70
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 2: think it's dangerous, if I think they're not beneficial. But

71
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 2: I don't think it's going to be very controversial. In

72
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 2: the end, Trump again stood by the claim that vaccines

73
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 2: might be linked to autism. That is a claim that

74
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 2: has been strongly and repeatedly debunked by medical science.

75
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 1: In fact, the autism advocacy group that most people are

76
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 1: very familiar with autism speaks. That group says it remains

77
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 1: quote aligned with the scientific consense, which confirms that vaccines

78
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: do not cause autism end quote. Trump said, I want

79
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 1: to see the numbers at the end of the studies

80
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: that we're doing, and we're going all out. We're going

81
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 1: to know what's good and what's not good.

82
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 2: So the issue here, let's say you do get rid

83
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 2: of vaccinations, so that could lead to outbreaks of one's

84
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 2: nearly eradicated diseases like measles. But even the talk about

85
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 2: vaccines and them being dangerous might lead people to go, yeah,

86
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 2: you know what, I'm not going to get vaccinated. I'm

87
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 2: not going to get my kid vaccinated. That could still

88
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 2: have ripple effects as well. So RFK Junior if he's

89
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,600
Speaker 2: confirmed as the head of AHHS, he would oversee the

90
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 2: Centers for Disease Control and the CDC is tasked with

91
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 2: making vaccine recommendations. He's headed to Capitol Hill next week

92
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,040
Speaker 2: to meet with Senators about his confirmation.

93
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, with that discussion is far from over. Next up

94
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 1: on the Run, we head to the mysterious skies over

95
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,839
Speaker 1: New Jersey and New York. Congress is now getting involved.

96
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: Key members of both the House and the Senate are

97
00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:01,159
Speaker 1: demanding answers from federal law enforcement officials after residents there

98
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:05,160
Speaker 1: have been reporting and recording large drones in the skies.

99
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: And when we say large, think up to six feet

100
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:09,599
Speaker 1: in diameter large.

101
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:10,480
Speaker 2: That's huge.

102
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,280
Speaker 1: And many of these videos have gone viral with tens

103
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: of thousands of views.

104
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 2: And these sightings have been going on since mid November.

105
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 2: Some videos show drones with eerie lights that suddenly go off,

106
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 2: presumably presumably to avoid detection. Yesterday, the White House trying

107
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 2: to downplay the siding, saying that Homeland Security, the FBI,

108
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 2: state and local officials have not been able to corroborate

109
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:36,039
Speaker 2: any of the reported sidings, adding, law enforcement believe the

110
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 2: alleged drones are actually manned aircraft that are operating legally.

111
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 2: They're essentially saying these are just small airplanes that people

112
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:44,599
Speaker 2: are flying around and they have the right to do so.

113
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 1: Well. The bottom line is the White House saying there's

114
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 1: no evidence that the reported sidings represent a national security

115
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: or any kind of public safety threat, but lawmakers and

116
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 1: the public aren't really buying that. They're certainly not satisfied

117
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,080
Speaker 1: with that remark. How Speaker Mike Johnson says he he

118
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:04,559
Speaker 1: expects a classified briefing about the drones soon, saying he's

119
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 1: anxious to find out more.

120
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 2: And this certainly didn't help. Congressman Jeff Van Drew of

121
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 2: New Jersey. He raised the anxiety level among a lot

122
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 2: of folks when he went on Fox News and said

123
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 2: that the drones were coming from an Iranian mother ship

124
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:24,719
Speaker 2: stationed off the coast. Yes, an Iranian mothership is sending

125
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 2: out these drones. The Pentagon had to jump in and say,

126
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,039
Speaker 2: this dude does not know what he's talking about. They say,

127
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 2: and I quote, there is no Iranian ship off the

128
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 2: coast of the United States, and there's no so called

129
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:38,159
Speaker 2: mothership launching drones towards the United States.

130
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 1: It almost had like an alien reference there with the mothership.

131
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 2: This is completely independent day. There was a mothership that

132
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 2: was sending smaller ships down completely what it.

133
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 1: Was, completely inciting fear among everyone who are already unnerved

134
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,719
Speaker 1: by these sightings. In fact, both senators from New Jersey

135
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 1: and New York, that's Corey Booker and Andy Kim from

136
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 1: New Jersey, Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand from New York.

137
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 1: The four them sent a letter to the Homeland Security Secretary,

138
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:06,160
Speaker 1: the FBI director, and the FAA demanding a briefing on

139
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 1: whatever is flying in the skies. Booker said this, and

140
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 1: he makes a very good point. Without transparency from officials, rumors,

141
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 1: fear and misinformation are just going to continue to spread.

142
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 2: And that can apply to almost anything in life. If

143
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 2: there is not actual information, people are going to fill

144
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 2: in the blanks with all this other stuff. Now, some

145
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 2: members of the Intelligence Committee have said that they privately

146
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 2: have received the briefings about the drones and are calling

147
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 2: on law enforcement to share that information with the public.

148
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:38,559
Speaker 2: Other members have explained that the hesitation on holding public

149
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 2: hearings on the topic is because, well, we don't want

150
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 2: our adversaries watching watching what exactly.

151
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 1: Then, to me, everything that they have said, which has

152
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 1: not been much, makes it even more concerning and more confusing.

153
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 2: We don't want our adversaries to see us discussing what.

154
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 1: Exactly exactly we don't.

155
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 2: Know, discussing these innocent drones, because I'm told that's all.

156
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 2: It is, just some manned aircraft.

157
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 1: That are not operating legally. But the thing is they

158
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 1: can't find them. They don't know where they're coming from,

159
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 1: they don't know where they're starting off from, they don't

160
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 1: know where they're landing because it's happening at night, they're

161
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 1: turning off their lights and they can't follow them. So, yes,

162
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 1: this is a topic of concern, and you can see

163
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 1: conspiracy theorists really going crazy on this one, all right.

164
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 1: Next up on the Run, New York prosecutors have already

165
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 1: begun presenting evidence to a grand jury. They're building their

166
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 1: case for an indictment against twenty six year old Luigi Mangioni,

167
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 1: who was accused of shooting and killing United Healthcare CEO

168
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:38,959
Speaker 1: Brian Thompson in Midtown Manhattan last week. Look, they've already

169
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 1: charged him, but they're hoping that if they get an

170
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 1: indictment from the grand jury that will strengthen their case

171
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 1: to get Mangioni back to New York because.

172
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 2: Right now he's still in a Pennsylvania prison. He is

173
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:52,559
Speaker 2: challenging extradition. New York Governor Cathy Holkle says she expects

174
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 2: though an extradition warrant any moment now, and she says

175
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:58,679
Speaker 2: she's going to sign it the second that it happens

176
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:00,680
Speaker 2: so she can get them back here York as quickly

177
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 2: as possible. Mangioni's supporters, well, they keep going online trying

178
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 2: to help in his legal defense. As of this recording,

179
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 2: some seventy two thousand dollars has been raised for his

180
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 2: legal defense on the site Give Send Go.

181
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 1: A group calling itself the December fourth Legal Committee. The

182
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 1: murder of Thompson took place on December fourth, so that's

183
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 1: why the name is what it is. But they established

184
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 1: the fund saying, quote, we're not here to celebrate violence,

185
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 1: but we do believe in the constitutional right to fair

186
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 1: legal representation. So far, the money is poured in from

187
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 1: more than fifteen hundred anonymous donors from all over the country,

188
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: some leaving messages of support along with their donations.

189
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 2: Yeah. One donor with the username a Frustrated Citizen thanked

190
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 2: Mangioni for sparking awareness and thought across this sleeping nation.

191
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 2: Mangioni's next hearing is December thirtieth. He's facing several charges,

192
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 2: including second degree murder, but officials left open the possibility

193
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 2: of more charges being filed. Well, stay with us here

194
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:02,680
Speaker 2: on this Friday, the thirteenth morning. Ruh, And before you

195
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 2: take the next sip out of that Stanley mug or yours,

196
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 2: listen up. There is a recall involving them because people

197
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:11,439
Speaker 2: are getting burned.

198
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 1: Welcome back everyone to the morning run. And next up

199
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,320
Speaker 1: on our run, check the lid on your Stanley mug.

200
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 1: They've been popping off and people are actually getting burned.

201
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,320
Speaker 1: The company has recalled two point six million of their

202
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 1: mugs because of a defect that can cause the lid

203
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 1: to detach while you're drinking, and if you're drinking hot coffee,

204
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 1: which is what a lot of people drink in their

205
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 1: Stanley mugs. Well, you can see where that would be

206
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 1: a huge problem.

207
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, nearly one hundred such reports of the lid coming

208
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 2: off while people are drinking, and thirty eight people suffered

209
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:55,200
Speaker 2: burns when that hot liquid got all over them. Eleven

210
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,199
Speaker 2: folks actually had to seek medical attention. So, which Stanley

211
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 2: mugs are under the recall? Not that one, Not that

212
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 2: wildly popular viral sensation one that everybody seems to have.

213
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 2: That one is called the Stanley Quincher. That one is

214
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 2: not involved in this recall.

215
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,320
Speaker 1: The Stanley products that are involved in the recall are

216
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 1: the Stanley switchback and the Stanley trigger Action stainless steel

217
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 1: travel mugs. They're sold here in the US, and they

218
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 1: come in all kinds of colors and sizes. The Consumer

219
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 1: Product Safety says you should stop using those products emediately. Yes,

220
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 1: it was good to point out it's not the one

221
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 1: that we see everywhere. We both have them in our

222
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,319
Speaker 1: houses with our daughters because it's all the rage now.

223
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 1: But yes, these are the mugs, and they are different

224
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:37,839
Speaker 1: from the ones with the straws.

225
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:39,959
Speaker 2: And they are still popular. They're everywhere. These are very

226
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 2: popular travel mugs, so you do need to check it.

227
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 2: It's hard to explain something the seal around it. Once

228
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,559
Speaker 2: it gets too hot or something, it just doesn't hold

229
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 2: and the thing comes on. But you can you imagine

230
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 2: turning up that a twenty ounce thing of coffee and I.

231
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,560
Speaker 1: Am able, you know, I'm an avid coffee drinker, and

232
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 1: I put them into go mugs all the time. And yeah,

233
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,199
Speaker 1: you trust that that lid is going to stay where

234
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 1: it is because if it doesn't, Yeah, that's a serious,

235
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:06,680
Speaker 1: serious health and safety hazard.

236
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 2: How long before a lawsuit?

237
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 1: Oh? In days?

238
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 2: Okay, well that'll be on the Monday morning run. Well,

239
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 2: next up on this Friday, the thirteenth run. Finding love

240
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 2: is an actual job, and the contestants on Love Is

241
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:25,200
Speaker 2: Blind should be compensated accordingly for their work. In a

242
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:28,439
Speaker 2: move that could shake up reality television, the National Labor

243
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 2: Relations Board said that the folks looking for love on

244
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 2: the popular Netflix reality show should be actually classified as

245
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 2: employees and get the benefits of worker protection.

246
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 1: The Labor Board said the production companies behind the show

247
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 1: are violating labor laws with the contracts they require the

248
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 1: contestants to sign. They include strict non disclosure and non

249
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:51,320
Speaker 1: compete clauses. The Labor Board complaint is a first of

250
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:54,560
Speaker 1: its kind action against a reality series, which could lead

251
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 1: to show contestants being able to unionize. Two Love Is

252
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 1: Blind contestants filed complain with the Labor Board alleging unfair

253
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 1: treatment while participating in the show Yeah.

254
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 2: Their complaints triggered an investigation, which led to the Board's decision.

255
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 2: This fight between reality contestants and show production companies has

256
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 2: been bubbling for quite a quite a while now, many

257
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 2: contestants hoping to change what they see as an unfair

258
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:21,599
Speaker 2: system wildly popular reality shows that are aking huge profits

259
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,840
Speaker 2: on the backs of people they simply classify as contestants

260
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 2: and therefore don't have to pay and don't have to protect.

261
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 1: The production companies and networks have always argued that the

262
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:33,199
Speaker 1: contestants are there voluntarily and in control of their own

263
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:36,679
Speaker 1: actions and behavior. Several lawsuits have also been filed against

264
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 1: the production companies behind the show. So what happens now,

265
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:40,719
Speaker 1: So the.

266
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 2: Labor Boards ruling is going to go before a judge

267
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 2: who's going to determine if laws were actually violated, and

268
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 2: then whatever decision has happened, you're going to be able

269
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 2: to appeal, so don't expect an industry shake up just yet.

270
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,680
Speaker 2: Love is Blind. It seems strange to have to explain

271
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 2: as wildly popular as it is. It has seven series

272
00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:00,960
Speaker 2: and seven seasons. Yes, I have spin offs and all this,

273
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 2: but please, you're the oh, please explain this badness.

274
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 1: I am deeply immersed in the latest season and I've

275
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 1: watched several before. But yeah, the basic concept is these

276
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 1: people and in fact, one of the contestants this year

277
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 1: actually quit her job to find love. But it hasn't

278
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 1: worked in conventional methods, so they go into these pods.

279
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 1: You can't see each other's face as you just find

280
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 1: love through connection and your voice literally. And then if

281
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 1: you find the connection, someone proposes, someone accepts, They move

282
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 1: in together, meet the family, and a few weeks later

283
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 1: they show up on their wedding day and they either

284
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 1: say I do or I don't.

285
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 2: What could go wrong?

286
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's why it's so good.

287
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 2: But yet these quauses you mentioned. The non compete part

288
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 2: of it is the Donkipedia is you can't do an

289
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 2: interview for a year about you. You can only talk

290
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 2: about the show. You cannot be out there as an

291
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 2: independent individual. Talking about anything other than promoting the show

292
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 2: in some way. Also leaving the show. I did hear about.

293
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 2: We've heard about this. It's a fine. If they deem

294
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 2: you're leaving for reasons that they don't find legit, they

295
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 2: can find you up to fifty thousand dollars.

296
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 1: That's tough too, because this is emotionally difficult to watch

297
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 1: sometimes when some people just and I do believe most

298
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 1: of the people on that show are there actually to

299
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 1: fine love who truly want to find a partner, who

300
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 1: truly want to get married, So it's not just a stunt.

301
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 1: I mean, sure, there's every now and then you've got

302
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 1: people who just want to get famous or you know,

303
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 1: be influencers. But I really do think most of the

304
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 1: folks on this show are legit. So it'll be fascinating

305
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 1: to see what ends up happening. What a few years

306
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 1: from now, when we find out ultimately after appeals, et cetera,

307
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 1: if anything changes in the industry, Well.

308
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 2: Considerate Love is Blind, Love Island. We could keep going

309
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 2: on with these shows, but your site, but also a

310
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 2: lot of the not the dating but the housewives show. Yeah,

311
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 2: they've been in fights about treatment and they should be

312
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 2: treated as employees and not as contestant. You're getting free labor.

313
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 2: It's not labor, but you're putting on a show. You

314
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 2: don't have to pay your talent. That's a big deal.

315
00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, it makes it. I mean some people get paid though, right.

316
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 2: Oh, but it's nothing along the lines of a talent,

317
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 2: a real talent or a star of a show kind

318
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 2: of a thing. Whatud ever get? I mean the mere thousands.

Speaker 1: Well, all right, we will see and be stay tuned.

320
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 1: Stay tuned for that. All right, for the final leg

321
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 1: of our run. We've mentioned it. Today is Friday the thirteenth.

322
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 1: What could possibly go wrong? So many people consider this

323
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 1: day to be unlucky or even scary. In fact, there's

324
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 1: a name for this common superstition. It's frigatrisk guide decaphobia,

325
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 1: the fear of Friday the thirteenth. What is it called again,

326
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:32,239
Speaker 1: friga trist guide decaphobia.

327
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 2: All right, I just wanted you to an opportunity to

328
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 2: show off I've been.

329
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 1: Working on this an Icelandic volcano. When you see it

330
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 1: all written, so.

331
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 2: We are this, we hear Friday the thirteenth husual. The

332
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 2: first thing people think about, probably the series of movies

333
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 2: with Jason, the hockey mass, that kind of thing, but

334
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 2: it goes deeper than that. It's actually rooted in religion

335
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 2: and history. Several theories out there, but one of them

336
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 2: behind why Friday the thirteenth is considered unlucky, goes back

337
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 2: to the Last Supper. Judas betrayed Jesus. He was the

338
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 2: thirteenth guest at the Last Supper, and Friday was the

339
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 2: day Jesus was crucified.

340
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 1: Another theory goes all the way back to Nordic folklore

341
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:14,680
Speaker 1: where the trickster god Loki. Is it Loki or Loki

342
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 1: It's Loki right. Loki showed up uninvited as the thirteenth

343
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:20,919
Speaker 1: guest to a feast with twelve other gods and then

344
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 1: caused chaos and bloodshed, killing the god of light and gladness.

345
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 2: People have different beliefs surrounding this day, but some actually

346
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 2: alter what they would normally do. They don't travel, don't

347
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:34,199
Speaker 2: make big decisions, don't invest because they think this is

348
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 2: an unlucky day. Other folks have fun with it, throw

349
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 2: a party, watch some horror movies in arnt of the day,

350
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:44,239
Speaker 2: but there are some who actually embrace this day and

351
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 2: this number.

352
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 1: Fully yes and that well, specifically, one person is Taylor Swift.

353
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 1: Today actually just happens to be her birthday, So happy birthday, Taylor.

354
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:55,200
Speaker 1: She explained her love of Friday the thirteenth like this,

355
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:58,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna quote her here. I was born on the thirteenth.

356
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 1: I turned thirteen on on Friday the thirteenth. My first

357
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 1: album went gold in thirteen weeks. My first number one

358
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 1: song had a thirteen second intro. Every time I've won

359
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:08,920
Speaker 1: an award, I've been seated in either the thirteenth seat,

360
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 1: the thirteenth row, the thirteenth section, or row M, which

361
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:15,639
Speaker 1: is the thirteenth letter. Basically, whenever a thirteen comes up

362
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 1: in my life, it's a good thing.

363
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:20,959
Speaker 2: Okay, that's a lot She's gotta have a thirteen tattoo.

364
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 1: I think she definitely has thirteen, Like she's a jacket

365
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 1: with thirteen on it. Yeah, she probably does.

Speaker 2: died on that day, on Friday the thirteenth.

385
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:32,160
Speaker 1: So happenstance, coincidence? You know, those of you who are superstitious,

386
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 1: I get it all right. We would like you to

387
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 1: consider this on this Friday the thirteenth. This is our

388
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:37,920
Speaker 1: quote of the day.

389
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:42,920
Speaker 2: Worry is a fear that hasn't grown up yet. It's

390
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 2: a misuse of our imagination.

391
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 1: That's a really cool way to put that.

392
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,640
Speaker 2: It is what worry? Why? Why? For what?

393
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 1: We can imagine a lot of things, We can think

394
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 1: about a lot of things. Why not consider or imagine

395
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:58,199
Speaker 1: a better outcome or a good outcome? Worry is wasted

396
00:19:58,240 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 1: emotion a lot of ways. Where'd you get this one?

397
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 2: I can't remember where I got this one, but this.

398
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 1: Was from your files and I figured it was appropriate

399
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:05,880
Speaker 1: on Friday at thirteen. So I'll say it one more

400
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:08,600

401
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 1: is a fear that hasn't grown up yet. It is

402
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:15,679
Speaker 1: a misuse of our imagination. Thank you everyone for running
