Speaker 1: Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast. Good
Speaker 1: morning everyone, and welcome to Morning Run. We made it.
Speaker 1: It's Friday, February twenty seventh. I may be roviot.
Speaker 2: That makes it sound like survival and not thriving. Right.
Speaker 2: We made it to Friday. We made it to Friday.
Speaker 1: I'm excited about sleeping in tomorrow. Forgive me where we are?
Speaker 2: Yes, Hello everybody. I'm in a much different mood. TJ
Speaker 2: Hols this morning, on this Friday. Always good to have
Speaker 2: you with us. We're looking forward to something. No matter
Speaker 2: what mood you are in, there's something that's going to
Speaker 2: improve all of our mood. Will it improve our moods?
Speaker 2: We have a rare celestial occurrence.
Speaker 1: I guess this evening a planets weekend, should say, yes,
Speaker 1: a planetary parade where all the planets literally line up,
Speaker 1: and apparently you can see some of this with the
Speaker 1: naked eye in certain areas, and to see all of them,
Speaker 1: I believe you need binoculars or a telescope or something
Speaker 1: more sophisticated. But it is a pretty cool phenomenon. And
Speaker 1: I was just telling you it's going to affect your
Speaker 1: astrological sign as well.
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm a Leo. So what's supposed to happen? This
Speaker 2: is on Saturday? What do you expect out of me
Speaker 2: on Saturday?
Speaker 1: The planet parade is going to mean this for Leo's
Speaker 1: an intimate connection or financial entanglement from the past resurfaces. Uh. Oh,
Speaker 1: you're seeing shared resources literally or emotionally a lot more clearly.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: Still, you're craving expansion, and this is about trusting yourself
Speaker 1: enough to venture into the unknown.
Speaker 2: I've been living in the unknown for years.
Speaker 1: Go for it, Leo, go for it whether you like
Speaker 1: it or not. Okay, you Mine says your money isn't
Speaker 1: a reflection of your worth, but your energy is sacred.
Speaker 1: Maybe an expense or financial decision is perturbing you. Either way,
Speaker 1: you're seeing your values a lot more clearly. Now, build
Speaker 1: towards this new goal with confidence rather than just.
Speaker 2: Talking about Is that you think that's accurate?
Speaker 1: No, I don't have any expense. In fact, I'd like
Speaker 1: to spend more. Oh I haven't been spending enough?
Speaker 2: Oh on what?
Speaker 1: Just things? Shopping?
Speaker 2: Big?
Speaker 1: I'm itching to spend. Maybe that's a warning not too
Speaker 1: you know, when you get in that mood, just want
Speaker 1: to buy a few new things, So.
Speaker 2: That means something emotionally is going on with you. We'll
Speaker 2: get into that later. Up of folks, wherever you may be, however,
Speaker 2: you might be taking the planetary Parade this weekend. Hope
Speaker 2: you are having a good one. We're going to be
Speaker 2: making stops not just up in the skies on this run,
Speaker 2: but also we'll be making stops in, of all places, Chapaquad,
Speaker 2: New York, making a stop in Hollywood and Tampa as
Speaker 2: well as Park City, Utah. But yeah, Romes, we're starting
Speaker 2: in Chappaquad, New York, where it's take two today for
Speaker 2: the Clintons.
Speaker 1: Ah. Yes, but this is perhaps the big show because
Speaker 1: today it is former President Bill Clinton's turn to go
Speaker 1: before the House Oversight Committee. This is history being made,
Speaker 1: a former president testifying under oath before Congress. And yeah,
Speaker 1: we're waiting for that photo op because you know they're
Speaker 1: ready to snap a selfie unbeknownst to the residents, send
Speaker 1: it out and leak it out to the world.
Speaker 2: Isn't it crazy? This is a closed door, close press
Speaker 2: meeting and we're standing by for a picture because obviously
Speaker 2: everybody has seen now what happened yesterday, Hillary Clinton giving
Speaker 2: her testimony. This closed door hearings to this House committee,
Speaker 2: and yeah, sure enough. One of the members, Lauren Bobert
Speaker 2: of Colorado Republican, sent a couple of pictures actually to
Speaker 2: a right wing influencer and podcaster who immediately posted them.
Speaker 2: This is a violation of the rules. They stopped the
Speaker 2: hearing for a little while yesterday Robes. Before they started
Speaker 2: up again, Hillary Clinton kept saying, Hey, bring cameras in now.
Speaker 2: They wanted this to be open pressed because they don't
Speaker 2: want her answers edit it. But now they're suggesting, Robes,
Speaker 2: we might see the actual film, the video of this
Speaker 2: as soon as today, they said, possibly twenty four hours,
Speaker 2: trying to get it out quickly. But Clinton is up today.
Speaker 2: He knows more certainly than his wife does.
Speaker 1: Yes, because yes, we've noted this. Hillary Clinton has noted this.
Speaker 1: She is not in the Epstein filed. There isn't one
Speaker 1: picture with her next to Jeffrey Epstein. She says she
Speaker 1: doesn't believe she's ever met him ever. All right, So
Speaker 1: the House Oversight Committee, what they're doing here, the chairman says,
Speaker 1: what they're trying to do is to get to the
Speaker 1: bottom of the missing Epstein files related to President Trump.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is the other part of this story. Now, Yes,
Speaker 2: the Epstein story continues, but yes, a part of this
Speaker 2: story now it's a missing files that I have to
Speaker 2: do with interviews the FBI did with a woman who
Speaker 2: alleged sexual abuse by Trump when she was a miner.
Speaker 2: And now this happened back in the mid eighties allegedly,
Speaker 2: but the FBI interviews with this young lady have now
Speaker 2: gone missing. So Comber in this committee said they don't
Speaker 2: have all the answers right now, but they claim they
Speaker 2: are going to look into it and want a definitive answer.
Speaker 2: So a lot of movement right now on the Epstein stuff.
Speaker 2: And we'll see if President Clinton puts out a statement
Speaker 2: his opening remarks the way Hillary released hers yesterday before
Speaker 2: even going in there.
Speaker 1: And that was a nice touch from a PR standpoint.
Speaker 1: If they couldn't get public hearing, they couldn't have the
Speaker 1: transparency of having the media in the room listening to
Speaker 1: the Q and a session, And this is a nice
Speaker 1: way to at least set the tone and get out
Speaker 1: there what you want people to know before you start
Speaker 1: answering questions.
Speaker 2: All right, next leg if our run takes us out
Speaker 2: to Utah. Now, we're a key witness in the so
Speaker 2: called grief author murder trial. Will be back on the
Speaker 2: stand this morning for cross examination. She's a key witness
Speaker 2: because she claims to have bought the drugs that Corey
Speaker 2: Richins eventually used to kill her husband.
Speaker 1: Now, Richinds, a thirty five year old mother of three,
Speaker 1: is accused of poisoning her husband with a fentanyl lace
Speaker 1: drink in March of twenty twenty three. And why this
Speaker 1: case has risen to the level it has in terms
Speaker 1: of the press, Well, she wrote a children's book to
Speaker 1: help kids with grief over the loss of a parent,
Speaker 1: and just weeks later she was arrested for creating that grief.
Speaker 1: Richard's former housekeeper, Carmen Lauber, testified she bought drugs at
Speaker 1: Richand's request on at least three occasions. Emanation was going
Speaker 1: on when the trial, or at least testimony wrapped up yesterday.
Speaker 1: It will begin again this morning. And I have to say,
Speaker 1: watching the defense attorney, she has done a pretty good
Speaker 1: job so far at really going after the housekeeper's credibility
Speaker 1: and her story whether or not it was actually fentanyl
Speaker 1: that was requested. There's a lot of discrepancies as to
Speaker 1: which drug she actually purchased for Richards. So this has
Speaker 1: been interesting and this is the star witness of the
Speaker 1: prosecution's case on the stand.
Speaker 2: All right, Condelia go on the run here on this
Speaker 2: Friday morning Now with singer Pink and her husband Carrie
Speaker 2: Hart reportedly separating after twenty years of marriage, and that
Speaker 2: is apparently news to Pink.
Speaker 1: We were genuinely crushed to read the headlines yesterday that
Speaker 1: they were splitting, but we were elated when Pink herself
Speaker 1: posted a video online saying it's absolutely a fake story.
Speaker 1: Here's what she said. So, I was just alerted to
Speaker 1: the fact that I'm separated from my husband. I didn't know.
Speaker 1: Thank you People Magazine, Thank you US Weekly. Thank you
Speaker 1: for letting me know. I was wondering, would you also
Speaker 1: like to tell our children? My fourteen year old and
Speaker 1: nine year old are also unaware.
Speaker 2: So the headlines were out there, and the headlines robes
Speaker 2: you were reading, continue to be out there this morning.
Speaker 2: But the one that really got it going People Magazine,
Speaker 2: Pink separates from Carry Hart for a second time after
Speaker 2: twenty years of marriage. Source exclusive is what the headline
Speaker 2: said yesterday and as of this morning, as of this recording,
Speaker 2: that headline remains, even after she put up a video
Speaker 2: as the best source you could imagine on this case, right, Robes, Yep,
Speaker 2: they are still standing by and so many other outlets
Speaker 2: have now picked up on this story, Robes, and they're
Speaker 2: not correcting.
Speaker 1: No are. I just pulled up my Instagram just now
Speaker 1: as of this recording, and it is still the headline
Speaker 1: and you have to scroll down to see Pink put
Speaker 1: out a video refuting this. But they sink in that sense,
Speaker 1: they are not correcting. They are not taking down the headline,
Speaker 1: and that would imply they are standing by their exclusive
Speaker 1: source and their reporting. We shall see, all right. Next
Speaker 1: up on the Run, Netflix is bowing out of the
Speaker 1: battle for Warner Brothers. After making an offer for the
Speaker 1: studio and streaming side of Warner Brothers, Discovery Paramount jumped
Speaker 1: in and started a bidding war that Netflix now says
Speaker 1: it has zero interest in continuing.
Speaker 2: Yeah. The Warner Brothers board acknowledged that the updated Paramount
Speaker 2: offers were in fact superior to what Netflix was offering,
Speaker 2: and gave Netflix four days to respond. They were spotted
Speaker 2: in two hours. No thanks, We've not rolling, this, says
Speaker 2: just doesn't make any financial sense anymore. So it's clear
Speaker 2: the way for Warner Brothers. We'll see if that excuse me,
Speaker 2: four paramount to all Warner Brothers, and it will change
Speaker 2: the Hollywood landscape. App Wow, all those moves, all that
Speaker 2: I mean, it would lump so many media organizations, so
Speaker 2: many movies, so many eyes, so much ip into one behemoth.
Speaker 1: Yea, anyone say monopoly? All right? Next up on the
Speaker 1: run and some members of the US men's gold medal
Speaker 1: winning hockey team or saying are bad. They are expressing
Speaker 1: regret over how they handled the moment in the locker
Speaker 1: room when President Trump made that crack about the women's
Speaker 1: hockey team.
Speaker 2: And I will remember he was on the phone. Everybody
Speaker 2: was excited. They just want to go medal. The President's
Speaker 2: on speaker phone and he invited them to the White House.
Speaker 2: And then he kind of caught himself say, oh, you know,
Speaker 2: this means I got to invite the women too, now,
Speaker 2: and they don't impeach me if I don't. It was
Speaker 2: almost like an aside or something I have to do.
Speaker 2: It was it sucked if you were any woman with
Speaker 2: USA on your uniform.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and look, the guy's chuckled, and I understand it's awkward.
Speaker 1: The President of the United States is saying this to you.
Speaker 1: It's almost like you're kind of trying in a weird way,
Speaker 1: You're trying to not make him feel bad about a
Speaker 1: lame joke. But I understand how in the moment they
Speaker 1: got caught, course, of.
Speaker 2: Course, but they are acknowledging now, several of them, one
Speaker 2: saying we should have reacted differently. Another one flat out
Speaker 2: said sorry and apologized for the moment and saying it
Speaker 2: was a mistake. They're trying to quiet this down. Is
Speaker 2: a damn shamee's for the first time. These the men's
Speaker 2: and women's hockey teams won gold in the Olympics. This
Speaker 2: should they should. I would love to see them together
Speaker 2: all the time since they got back. But the guys
Speaker 2: seemed to get one treatment, the women seem to get
Speaker 2: a different one.
Speaker 1: Yes, and I know the women were invited to the
Speaker 1: State of the Union address, but I look at it
Speaker 1: now and think, I know it was tough, and they
Speaker 1: may have genuinely had scheduling conflicts, but it would have
Speaker 1: been nice to see them all being celebrated the same.
Speaker 2: That they felt like an afterthought.
Speaker 1: At that point, I understand, I get it, I get
Speaker 1: how everybody feels. It makes total sense.
Speaker 2: I will stay with us on this Friday morning ron
Speaker 2: when we come back. We have great news when it
Speaker 2: comes to one burger joint, and not so good news
Speaker 2: when it comes to a pizza joint. We'll explain. Also,
Speaker 2: no pajamas at the airport. I'm all for it, Tampa.
Speaker 2: That airport seemed to be all for it too. We'll
Speaker 2: explain it. They here.
Speaker 1: Welcome back everyone to your Friday morning run. And that
Speaker 1: pizza joint that got so many of us through college
Speaker 1: nights is closing hundreds of stores. Oh the garlic butter sauce.
Speaker 1: Papa John's plans to close three hundred stores by the
Speaker 1: end of next year in a cost cutting mood.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the company has been struggling a bit, certainly over
Speaker 2: the past year. Sales were flat. Okay, you're not losing money,
Speaker 2: but you know there needs to be growth they want
Speaker 2: to see. But the company also experienced a thirty percent
Speaker 2: stock drop since twenty twenty five. They are also cutting
Speaker 2: seven percent of the corporate workforce. But I can still
Speaker 2: to this day remember the Papa Johns. That was a
Speaker 2: couple of blocks up the street from the apartment, the
Speaker 2: studio apartment I showed you in Vanville. That's so funny. Well,
Speaker 2: the pizza's like five ninety nine you.
Speaker 1: Could get and so good, Like you know what a
Speaker 1: Papa John. If I had a blindfold off, ye, and
Speaker 1: I had three different pizzas, I would know the Papa
Speaker 1: John's pizza. I mean it's delicious. And again that garlic
Speaker 1: butter dipping sauce. Did you ever do that? I would
Speaker 1: always ask for extra and then I would diph So
Speaker 1: I don't like to eat the crust and you don't either,
Speaker 1: but I do when I can dip it into garlic butter.
Speaker 1: All right, all right. Next up on the run, the
Speaker 1: Whopper is about to be elevated. For the first time
Speaker 1: in ten years. Burger King is upgrading its signature burger.
Speaker 2: How can you upgrade perfection? Well they are using now
Speaker 2: a premium bun. They say, freshly cut onions and tomatoes,
Speaker 2: crisp lettuce, tangy pickles, and better tasting mayo. So they're
Speaker 2: saying they're not gonna just throw these together and be
Speaker 2: hastily wrapped. No, no, no, no, no, Now that we serve
Speaker 2: in a box to ensure a quote. It makes it
Speaker 2: to guess exactly the way it left the kitchen. The
Speaker 2: quarter of Helvie Patty will remain the same.
Speaker 1: However, now the changes come after years of complaints about
Speaker 1: smashed burgers that were falling apart. You know, when you
Speaker 1: get that burger and you're like, and then you see
Speaker 1: the commercial for the burger and you laugh at the
Speaker 1: difference between the two. It couldn't be more different.
Speaker 2: Dink. Somebody follow lawsuit over that. I think someone did that.
Speaker 2: It didn't match the now, maybe not Burger King.
Speaker 1: But I did. I do remember some frivolous lawsuit like that.
Speaker 1: But this was probably my favorite part of the story.
Speaker 1: The president of Burger King. This is his quote about
Speaker 1: the change. It's like we're putting our famous iconic burger
Speaker 1: in a tuxedo instead of a leisure suit.
Speaker 2: He lost me there.
Speaker 1: I loved it. I thought that was hilarious here because
Speaker 1: of the leisure suit with the crown on it. It
Speaker 1: won't cost more for consumers, we think, because basically I
Speaker 1: say this because Burger King says it's going to cost
Speaker 1: franchises an extra four thousand dollars a year to make
Speaker 1: these improvements. On the whopper, but they are asking the
Speaker 1: franchise owners not to pass on that cost to consumers.
Speaker 1: I don't know how much they can control it, but
Speaker 1: that's how they warded it. They are asking their franchise
Speaker 1: owners to not raise the price how much the whopper.
Speaker 2: I don't know what was the McDonald's burger that's coming
Speaker 2: with like fourteen bucks.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be like ten or eleven.
Speaker 2: That's a little great. Yeah, but a band double whopper
Speaker 2: which used with my jam for a little while.
Speaker 1: I don't it's so funny to think of you eating
Speaker 1: like that because you do not.
Speaker 2: Is this out now?
Speaker 1: It's I don't know when it's out, and it's out soon.
Speaker 1: I don't know when.
Speaker 2: Sorry, i'tes. But last leg of our run here. Now
Speaker 2: we're going to go down to Tampa where people were
Speaker 2: losing it yesterday because Tampa International Airport and it's official
Speaker 2: social media yesterday posted a notice that said they were
Speaker 2: banning pajamas at the airport. Now. Despite us being all
Speaker 2: for it, some people lost it, and the notice days
Speaker 2: and out went out Thursday morning rose by the afternoon,
Speaker 2: they had to put out another notice saying they were
Speaker 2: just kidding. I loved. I love when companies like this
Speaker 2: or organizations whatever, have fun on social media. I liked it.
Speaker 1: Yes, when it doesn't do any harm, that is funny.
Speaker 1: I appreciate so. The original post says this, We've seen
Speaker 1: it off. We've had enough. It's time to ban pajamas
Speaker 1: at Tampa International Airport. After successfully banning crocs and giving
Speaker 1: everyone the amazing opportunity to experience the world's first crocs
Speaker 1: free airport, it's time to take on an even larger crisis,
Speaker 1: pajamas at the airport in the middle of the day.
Speaker 1: We know the decision could be disruptive to someone in
Speaker 1: your life. It's time to have a difficult conversation with them.
Speaker 1: You can do this. We believe in you. The madness
Speaker 1: stops today. The movement starts now. Help Tampa International Airport
Speaker 1: become the world's first crocs free and pajama free airport.
Speaker 1: Do your part. Say no to pajamas at TPA.
Speaker 2: I love it. That's a lot. You know what, even
Speaker 2: if it's not a joke, if they were serious, I
Speaker 2: would have supported this. And you know who did support it,
Speaker 2: our boy, Sean Duffy. He responded to it like a
Speaker 2: thumbs up. Or something funny. But yes, he was in
Speaker 2: favor of this. But we do this all the time, robes.
Speaker 2: We're at the airport, it's sport for us. We'll sit down,
Speaker 2: We'll go early to have a mimosa, to sit and
Speaker 2: just watch people at the airport.
Speaker 1: You always make a really good point that I had
Speaker 1: not considered before. People think that they just want to
Speaker 1: be comfortable on a flight. I get that, but if
Speaker 1: you think about it, you will never have more people
Speaker 1: see you, see what you wear, see how you present
Speaker 1: yourself than when you fly somewhere and go to an airport.
Speaker 1: Name another time, when you're around that many people in
Speaker 1: a closed area where people are watching you.
Speaker 2: It's your biggest audience. It's your biggest audience for most people.
Speaker 2: Every time dress for the red carpet and folks in
Speaker 2: there all kinds of ways. It is such a good
Speaker 2: sport to watch. But hey, do you think dress how
Speaker 2: you want to be comfortable, be whatever? But we we
Speaker 2: don't roll that way. But they put up a post
Speaker 2: to follow up saying today's post about banning pajamas was
Speaker 2: another playful nod to day of travel fashion debates. We
Speaker 2: encourage our passengers to travel comfortably and appreciate our loyal
Speaker 2: followers who enjoy the online humor. Yes, Pj's on a plane.
Speaker 2: To each his or her own.
Speaker 1: However, it's an opportunity.
Speaker 2: To do what to look better, Yeah, to dress up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, to make it an experience that I look at
Speaker 1: it like that people dress up when they're going somewhere
Speaker 1: exciting or important, maybe even to church. Right, So I
Speaker 1: appreciate the idea of it being something special and an
Speaker 1: event and a privilege and something exciting. And yes, it
Speaker 1: can be frustrating and you have to bring your patience
Speaker 1: and there can be issues, but if you treat it
Speaker 1: like an experience and an opportunity, and how cool is
Speaker 1: that that you get to fly on a plane, I
Speaker 1: don't know. That's just how I look.
Speaker 2: At it, and that's how we treat it every single time.
Speaker 2: It is an experience.
Speaker 1: All right.
Speaker 2: Before we let you go, folks, something we want you
Speaker 2: to consider it is our quote of the day Robes.
Speaker 2: This one came out of nowhere, and it came out
Speaker 2: of today, and it came out of one of our
Speaker 2: stories that you wouldn't believe. The quote is coming from
Speaker 2: the story having to do with Netflix backing out of
Speaker 2: the deal to try to acquire Warner Brothers. Okay, and
Speaker 2: this is how they explained it. They're CEO saying, quote
Speaker 2: the deal with something that was nice to have at
Speaker 2: the right price, not must have at any price. Now
Speaker 2: you apply that to that deal, it makes sense. Stop
Speaker 2: start going through your life, start going through the decisions
Speaker 2: we make and things we fight for. How far you're
Speaker 2: willing to go and if you have a mind. This
Speaker 2: made me think about it. So many things would go
Speaker 2: after if you'd know that this is something I really want,
Speaker 2: but I'm only willing to sacrifice this much for I
Speaker 2: am not willing to compromise and sacrifice and give up
Speaker 2: any price to acquire.
Speaker 1: I loved his quote that was that is you right?
Speaker 1: That could be applied to so many things. And it's funny.
Speaker 1: When I heard the story, I was imagining all the
Speaker 1: different homes that I've lost, and I know so many
Speaker 1: people have had this experience. Once you start getting into
Speaker 1: a bidding war, I'm out, Like we're done. And even
Speaker 1: in a relationship, like you know, what if you have to,
Speaker 1: if you have to like basically give up everything and
Speaker 1: whether it's money or values or whatever, Yeah, there is
Speaker 1: a point at which it isn't worth it.
Speaker 2: You're laughed at me, and you've seen this more happen
Speaker 2: over this past several years. I was seeing together the
Speaker 2: negotiations I have and the things that I have gained
Speaker 2: because I will simply look at someone and say, nop,
Speaker 2: I'm good bye and willing to walk away. This is
Speaker 2: something I wanted at the right price, not at any price.
Speaker 2: And it does work when you have that limit.
Speaker 1: If that's a line that you could not that you
Speaker 1: need one because you just walk away and have zero
Speaker 1: issues with it. Oh yes, we just got a car
Speaker 1: recently and that was that was so fascinating watching you
Speaker 1: do your thing and then watching people grobble. I mean
Speaker 1: it would beyond the walking off the car lot is
Speaker 1: the guy chasing you? I mean you were you had
Speaker 1: to like turn your phone off, it was calling back
Speaker 1: and yeah.
Speaker 2: It was fun. But folks take that with you. Yes,
Speaker 2: it comes from the folks over at Netflix, but it
Speaker 2: could be applied to so many things in our lives.
Speaker 2: If it's something that was quote nice to have at
Speaker 2: the right price, not must have at any price. I
Speaker 2: love that. Thanks Netflix, Sorry didn't your deal didn't work out.
Speaker 2: But now that you've walked away, it might end up
Speaker 2: working out in their fair I agree. All right, folks,
Speaker 2: we always appreciate you running well us.
Speaker 1: I'm Tjlks and I'm Amy Robock. Have a wonderful Friday
Speaker 1: and even better weekend, and keep checking out our feed
Speaker 1: because we will have plenty, plenty of updates for you
Speaker 1: throughout the weekend.
