Speaker 1: Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast.
Speaker 2: Good morning everyone, and welcome to Morning Run. It is Monday,
Speaker 2: December twenty second. I'm Amy Robox.
Speaker 1: And I'm TJ Holmes. Two days, right, you got two
Speaker 1: day used to get it under the tree.
Speaker 3: Yes, that's it. Okay, we should be done by now.
Speaker 1: What I haven't seen the numbers, the percentages of people
Speaker 1: who wait this long and still aren't done.
Speaker 2: Yes, but I just remember this is anecdotal evidence. But
Speaker 2: when I was working in retail back in the day,
Speaker 2: it was very busy. The last two days before Christmas.
Speaker 2: Let me tell you it was probably the busiest, most
Speaker 2: frenzied time to be in a mall or to be
Speaker 2: working in sales, retail sales.
Speaker 1: Well, folks, hopefully you are still having a good time
Speaker 1: around the holidays, not too stressed, and most of the
Speaker 1: list is taken care of. But yes, just a couple
Speaker 1: of days to go, and a lot of people, of course,
Speaker 1: are going to be traveling. We get those numbers from
Speaker 1: Triple A. It seems like every year they tell us
Speaker 1: that there will be a record. Well, yes they are
Speaker 1: telling us once again, but not just that robe is
Speaker 1: kind of important, and they also highlight Maybe people know
Speaker 1: this generally speaking, but the times you don't want to
Speaker 1: be on the road. So some of this is interesting
Speaker 1: and helpful information. But yes, one hundred and twenty two
Speaker 1: million people are going to be traveling at least fifty
Speaker 1: miles from home. That's how many people traveling for the holiday.
Speaker 1: But one hundred and ten million of them are driving,
Speaker 1: So yes, overwhelmingly robes, the roadways are going to be
Speaker 1: crowded's starting today.
Speaker 2: I'm always curious, though, is this based on polling that
Speaker 2: they do? How do they know who they call people?
Speaker 2: Because like, how do they know who's going to be
Speaker 2: traveling when and where? So this is all the way
Speaker 2: they do it, but it still blows my mind. And
Speaker 2: they were able to actually predict that kind of thing.
Speaker 2: But the worst time to hit is usually we don't
Speaker 2: need a prediction on this. We know when the worst
Speaker 2: time is to hit the road between one and seven
Speaker 2: pm today and tomorrow, and at least here in the Northeast,
Speaker 2: tomorrow is going to be a really rough weather day.
Speaker 2: This happened to us last year. We were traveling fifty
Speaker 2: miles outside of the city and had crazy snowy weaps
Speaker 2: their roads were shut down. That could possibly happen tomorrow
Speaker 2: as well.
Speaker 1: Once we got where we're going. It was a beautiful, white,
Speaker 1: fun Christmas, but yeah, it could be treacherous. So something
Speaker 1: to keep an eye on there as we get close
Speaker 1: to Christmas Day, and folks, as we get going on
Speaker 1: this morning, Ron always want to remind you when our updates,
Speaker 1: make sure they come to you. You can subscribe top
Speaker 1: right corner of your Apple podcast app where you see
Speaker 1: our show page that little button says follow click that
Speaker 1: you can get our updates coming to you.
Speaker 2: And there's been a lot of them, like yes, there
Speaker 2: have been so On the run this morning, we'll talk
Speaker 2: about the released but heavily redacted, long awaited Epstein files.
Speaker 2: They are out, at least some of them because lawmakers
Speaker 2: are asking where's the rest of it. They're now threatening
Speaker 2: to take some serious action against Pam Bondi and James Ranson,
Speaker 2: who starred in The Wire and several blockbuster movies, who
Speaker 2: that we have loved, has unfortunately taken his own life
Speaker 2: at the age of forty six plus sixty minutes pulls
Speaker 2: a segment last minute, and the reporter is calling it
Speaker 2: a political.
Speaker 1: Move and also running with us this morning will be
Speaker 1: Jake Paul, the Georgetown basketball coach, a Steelers receiver bohen Yang,
Speaker 1: and Jake Sully all along for the run this morning.
Speaker 2: All right, next up on the run, though, some lawmakers
Speaker 2: are floating the idea of holding Attorney General Pam Bondi
Speaker 2: in contempt because of the Justice Department's failure to release
Speaker 2: all of the Epstein files.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they release thousands of documents, a huge dump on Friday,
Speaker 1: but admits it's not everything, which is what the law
Speaker 1: required the DOJ to do. Release everything by the Friday deadline.
Speaker 2: So the DOJ is claiming that hundreds of lawyers are
Speaker 2: currently going through those documents ensuring that victims' names are
Speaker 2: protected and that certain things get redacted. But a bipartisan
Speaker 2: group of critics and a lot of people online are
Speaker 2: not buying that response at all.
Speaker 1: Redactions are one thing, but some of these redactions were
Speaker 1: full pages just blank for the most part, that are
Speaker 1: blacked out some documents. Some are arguing or even missing.
Speaker 1: Some are arguing that some documents that were released previously
Speaker 1: all of a sudden disappeared. There were some pictures that
Speaker 1: were out that disappeared. Now we're back. So robes The
Speaker 1: fight was over getting this bill, what was it called
Speaker 1: the Transparency Transparency Act.
Speaker 3: This was supposed to be it. The fight was to
Speaker 3: get the law passed so.
Speaker 1: That the documents could come out. The deadline has come
Speaker 1: and gone, and this Epstein thing still.
Speaker 2: It's an absolute mess that is far far from over.
Speaker 2: And yes, we're going to be doing a podcast on
Speaker 2: this in just a bit, so please look for that
Speaker 2: in the next couple of hours, because we're going to
Speaker 2: go through all of what we know and so much
Speaker 2: more of what we don't. And therein lies the rub
Speaker 2: all right. Next up on the Run, here we go again.
Speaker 2: Sixty Minutes is at the center of a censoring controversy
Speaker 2: involving President Trump. The show pulled a plan segment that
Speaker 2: was supposed to air in last night's broadcast just a
Speaker 2: few hours before the show aired, and the reporter is
Speaker 2: calling it a political moods.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: This segment was supposed to be about the brutal conditions
Speaker 1: at the prison in Ol Salvador where some people Trump
Speaker 1: has deported have ended up. CBS released a statement saying
Speaker 1: the story would air at a later date. They released
Speaker 1: that statement just a few hours before the show, but
Speaker 1: the new York Times and other outlets are reporting that
Speaker 1: the new CBS editor in chief made the decision to
Speaker 1: pull the segment, insisting that a senior White House official
Speaker 1: be interviewed for the second.
Speaker 2: Correspondent Sharon Alfonsi wrote this in an email to her colleague, saying,
Speaker 2: pulling it now is not an editorial decision. It is
Speaker 2: a political one. We are trading fifty years of gold
Speaker 2: standard reputation for a single week of political quiet. And
Speaker 2: so now there's word that employees are threatening to quit
Speaker 2: CBS News. And look, this has been a whole issue
Speaker 2: over at that network, with Trump suing them, and certainly
Speaker 2: with the selling of their parent company and the ties
Speaker 2: to Trump. It's a mess over there as well.
Speaker 1: No, I didn't realize, but our first two stories, people
Speaker 1: could roll their eyes and so wait, this is still
Speaker 1: going on.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Epstein thing. Wait, this is still going on. Six.
Speaker 1: This is the same story, in the same controversy. It
Speaker 1: seems we will continue here on this What day is it?
Speaker 2: Monday?
Speaker 3: Monday?
Speaker 2: It's your favorite day of the weekdaye.
Speaker 1: The Monday morning? Right, Yes, we say that because we
Speaker 1: get a reset. This will be a different kind of
Speaker 1: week for a lot of people, right, your routines are
Speaker 1: a little different.
Speaker 3: Our routine is.
Speaker 1: Going to be a little different as well as we
Speaker 1: get through this week. But something we want to share
Speaker 1: awful news here, folks, coming anytime, but certainly right before
Speaker 1: the holidays. Actor James Ranson has died at the age
Speaker 1: of forty six of an apparent suicide. And for some
Speaker 1: reason I call him actor James Ranson, I want to
Speaker 1: say husband, father of two. James Ranson has died at
Speaker 1: the age of forty six. Now the name, I think
Speaker 1: for a lot of people it didn't immediately register. But
Speaker 1: you know his you know his face, and you actually
Speaker 1: probably know his acting style. Yet he has a unique
Speaker 1: type of thing that he does. But you know him
Speaker 1: from the wire. He was in season two. I wasn't
Speaker 1: very familiar, but a very popular character, Ziggy. He was
Speaker 1: on that with Black Phone, Black Phone two. He was
Speaker 1: in it too, and also Inside Man with Denzel Washington.
Speaker 1: So this guy to hear the I think it was
Speaker 1: a hanging. They even said the medical examiner out there
Speaker 1: but found in la at the age of forty six.
Speaker 2: It's sad because if you really start to look at
Speaker 2: his life. He did many interviews about his struggles. He
Speaker 2: had been addicted to heroin for a while, he was
Speaker 2: struggling with what to do with his life, and acting,
Speaker 2: he said, saved him. Ultimately, his mom got him into
Speaker 2: a school of the arts and he actually pursued that
Speaker 2: creative venture. But he did talk about how he's known
Speaker 2: for a lot of his horror movie depictions, and he
Speaker 2: said being or at least depicting dark characters weighed on
Speaker 2: him certainly, and given his previous struggles. It's just incredibly sad,
Speaker 2: and our hearts go out to his family, because, yes,
Speaker 2: it's difficult at any time of the year when something
Speaker 2: like this happens, but certainly this time of year and
Speaker 2: this week.
Speaker 1: You know, we obviously we love this guy because we're
Speaker 1: horror movie fans. We've seen him in all of these movies,
Speaker 1: but worlds that didn't realize and if you didn't realize that,
Speaker 1: you're really gonna get upset. Now the movie he was
Speaker 1: in and we love, It's nigh Here, and people don't
Speaker 1: realize he didn't even have a name in it.
Speaker 2: Sinister, Yes, the Sinator movies, because he was the bright
Speaker 2: light in that movie actually didn't have that.
Speaker 1: Now, given some of his dark characters he plays. That
Speaker 1: one was quirky and fun, and he stole every scene
Speaker 1: he was in.
Speaker 2: And there we talked about him. We didn't know his name.
Speaker 2: He said, we love the detective in that movie. He
Speaker 2: played so well against the darkness of that film. Ethan
Speaker 2: Hawke's character he was. He was the light in that movie.
Speaker 2: He was the laughter in that movie, which was rare
Speaker 2: but interesting. Like his quote was, I don't end up
Speaker 2: playing a lot of likable characters, so I find myself
Speaker 2: living in a lot of unlikable skin. As a result
Speaker 2: of that, I don't always feel good. But that was
Speaker 2: the That was the character that we really that we noticed,
Speaker 2: and that's where he stood out when he played that
Speaker 2: that fun, quirky detective.
Speaker 1: But again, he wasn't a character we looked at and said,
Speaker 1: oh that's the guy from or Oh that's a star,
Speaker 1: Oh he has good credit. We look he was unreal
Speaker 1: and it's a very dark movie and we recommended on
Speaker 1: our list this year of horror movies and Sinister was
Speaker 1: a heavy one.
Speaker 3: But he, like you said, wero, he is the relief
Speaker 3: we need in that movie. He was wonderful.
Speaker 2: All right, Well, we hope he rests in peace, all right.
Speaker 2: Next up on the run, this is this is wild.
Speaker 2: Say it ain't so. Jim Beam has stopped making bourbon.
Speaker 2: The company says it is pausing production because get this,
Speaker 2: they have too much.
Speaker 1: Yeah this that it hurts. The headline scared me. Wait,
Speaker 1: couldn't be waiting there? But no, their main distillery there
Speaker 1: in Kentucky. They are shutting down production because supplies in
Speaker 1: the state have hit it all time high this year.
Speaker 1: And yeah, you better believe it has everything to do
Speaker 1: with tariffs. They set off this trade war with other countries,
Speaker 1: but in particular, Canada had a ban this year on
Speaker 1: I remember that American Loka.
Speaker 2: There were videos and pictures of Canadian liquor stores taking
Speaker 2: American alcohol off the shelves.
Speaker 1: So that combined with the fact that they say a
Speaker 1: lot of young people just aren't drinking as much, We've
Speaker 1: done those stories.
Speaker 2: And that's a good part of the headline.
Speaker 1: It's good not good for Kentucky. I didn't realize ropes.
Speaker 1: If they have so many unsold barrels that are aging,
Speaker 1: they get taxed on it. What so the more they
Speaker 1: leave sitting in the state, Kentucky taxes that and it's
Speaker 1: costing them millions and millions and millions of dollars. So
Speaker 1: they have stopped until they can get rid of some
Speaker 1: of this inventory.
Speaker 2: How wait, that makes it. That's wild to me that
Speaker 2: the state taxes you because you couldn't sell enough.
Speaker 1: Because for whatever, if it's sitting there and not being sold,
Speaker 1: it's some kind of a fee they have. They've been
Speaker 1: doing it for years, but cost them seventy five million
Speaker 1: plus or something this year, which was up twenty five
Speaker 1: percent over the year before. Yes, things you learned, Yes,
Speaker 1: and they're crazy deep Wow.
Speaker 2: Okay. Next up on the run Georgetown head basketball coach.
Speaker 2: He's been suspended for one game because he hit a
Speaker 2: kid in the stands with his water bottle. It was
Speaker 2: not at all you can tell he's but but he
Speaker 2: acted childishly.
Speaker 1: Awful moment and the timing and the it was just
Speaker 1: terribly unfortunate. Ed Cooley is the name everybody in the end.
Speaker 1: He apologized immediately afterwards, knew what he had done. He
Speaker 1: actually said this was somebody affiliated with the school's programs. Well,
Speaker 1: he knows these folks. He apologized, But yes, he got
Speaker 1: mad because his team just lost by three and they
Speaker 1: missed eighteen free throws.
Speaker 3: That'll piss you off. Wow.
Speaker 1: So he turned at the end after they missed a
Speaker 1: three pointer to tie it, and he with force.
Speaker 3: Was it not said?
Speaker 2: He threw it as hard as he possibly could. Kid
Speaker 2: was in what third roll or second or third row
Speaker 2: and mom's lap.
Speaker 1: And popped them. So that was in a really unfortunate moment.
Speaker 1: But he has been suspended, probably the right thing. But
Speaker 1: he has apologized, all right.
Speaker 2: Another unfortunate incident this weekend, this one at an NFL game.
Speaker 2: A player appeared to take a jab a jack. It
Speaker 2: looked like a punch to me, baby, a punch, A swipe,
Speaker 2: A It looked like more than a swipe a grab.
Speaker 2: It was a punch.
Speaker 1: We don't know how to describe it exactly. I was
Speaker 1: giving him the benefit of that.
Speaker 2: I know. I saw you wrote swipe and I was like, hmm,
Speaker 2: you encouraged me, like, please watch both of these videos.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: From my untrained eye, it looked like a punch, all right.
Speaker 2: This was in the second quarter of the game between
Speaker 2: the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Detroit Lions.
Speaker 1: Wait you say your untrained eye. The NFL has their
Speaker 1: trained eyes on it, and he could be hitting getting
Speaker 1: hit with a suspension or at least a fine. This
Speaker 1: is DK Metcalf, superstar receiver for the Steelers. Now the
Speaker 1: video here. Why in the second quarter is he interacting
Speaker 1: with a fan? We don't know, but he's on the sideline.
Speaker 1: The fan is up on the first row, but he
Speaker 1: is leaning over the railing. It looks fine and cordial
Speaker 1: and normal for a moment, and then all of a sudden, yeah,
Speaker 1: he takes a swipe at the fan as it.
Speaker 3: Appears, or a bunch or whatever. Now what star all does?
Speaker 1: A local Lavillia caught up with the fan and said
Speaker 1: it was because he called Dkay by his real name
Speaker 1: and that set DK off.
Speaker 2: What What's DK's real name.
Speaker 3: Is Decaylin or something. I mean, it's just his name.
Speaker 2: I don't know if that makes a lot of sense.
Speaker 2: I don't know if I'm buying that. It sounded it
Speaker 2: seemed as though when you watch it, it does seem
Speaker 2: like the conversation, for whatever reason there's even a conversation
Speaker 2: going on, appears fine. But yeah, something really pissed him off,
Speaker 2: Like it was an immediate kind of a knee jerk. Whoops.
Speaker 2: I didn't mean to let my emotions take over me,
Speaker 2: so I seems hard to believe that all the fan
Speaker 2: did was call him by his real name.
Speaker 1: They're going to look, there's some precedent for this, but
Speaker 1: oftentimes when the fan initiates the problem, they not so
Speaker 1: hard on the athlete. But you can't They got you.
Speaker 2: Can't match ugly words with a fist.
Speaker 3: You cannot do that. There you go, good way to
Speaker 3: put it.
Speaker 1: Continue on the run here now Jake Paul, the influencer
Speaker 1: turned pro boxer, Well, he got knocked out, but at
Speaker 1: the same time got the same time, he got woken
Speaker 1: up a rude awakening about what it's like to fight
Speaker 1: a real, big deal heavyweight. He fought Anthony Joshua, a
Speaker 1: huge match on Netflix, and this was a it was
Speaker 1: supposed to be roads an eight round match, but he
Speaker 1: was brutally beat down and he was hurt, and we
Speaker 1: can say he was hurt pretty seriously. We know this
Speaker 1: now could have been more and more long term damage.
Speaker 1: But he this was the fear that he was stepping
Speaker 1: in with a big time guy. He has no business
Speaker 1: in the ring with.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that was proven in round six he revealed
Speaker 2: to everyone that Yeah, his jaw was broken in two places.
Speaker 2: He actually had to have titanium titanium pieces put in
Speaker 2: his mouth, and then he had to have several teeth pulled.
Speaker 2: He can't eat solid food for a week. Look, we
Speaker 2: raced home from where we were to try and watch
Speaker 2: this match. I actually fell asleep after round two or
Speaker 2: three because they were just dancing. Basically, it was Jake
Speaker 2: Paul running from Yes, Anthony Joshua, and I just fell asleep,
Speaker 2: and then You're like, you missed it, so I had
Speaker 2: to rewatch it, and it was hard to watch.
Speaker 1: It is and this was the fear. This is serious,
Speaker 1: it's dangerous, and people started saying afterwards, why did they
Speaker 1: even sanction this fight? Well, because a lot of money involved.
Speaker 1: But till he's okay, but some serious damage was done.
Speaker 1: Continuing here on the Run in just a moment, when
Speaker 1: we come back, folks, Saturday Night Live says goodbye to
Speaker 1: a fan favorite mid season. We'll explain also what was
Speaker 1: supposed to be the biggest movie of the year, Avatar
Speaker 1: will tell you what kind of start it got off
Speaker 1: two and Powerball.
Speaker 3: We're doing it again tonight.
Speaker 2: Folks, welcome back to Morning Run and we continue with
Speaker 2: SNL fan favorite Bowen Yang signing off on Saturday Night Live.
Speaker 2: He confirmed just last week that this would be his
Speaker 2: final season. Ariana Grande hosted and Chaer was the musical guest.
Speaker 3: That's a good group to go out.
Speaker 2: On, right, pretty cool, pretty powerful female there alongside him
Speaker 2: on either side. But he joined SNL back in twenty
Speaker 2: eighteen as a writer. He became a part of the
Speaker 2: main cast just two seasons later and has gone on
Speaker 2: to become one of the fan favorites of that show and.
Speaker 1: One of the most popular, and certainly in recent years
Speaker 1: were certainly with Wicked, just one of the most popular
Speaker 1: or successful outside of the show. Yeah, balancing the two
Speaker 1: things he's really taken off.
Speaker 2: Los Culturitas Los Culturistas is his podcast that my oldest
Speaker 2: Ava says she listened to it every single day. She's
Speaker 2: obsessed with his podcast. So he's obviously got a lot
Speaker 2: of other phenomenal things going on. But he was the
Speaker 2: first Asian full time cast member. I hadn't realized that
Speaker 2: since SNL began, So he certainly made history. And he
Speaker 2: leaves out with the bag. He said, this was like
Speaker 2: a dream to go out. The way he went out,
Speaker 2: It was beautiful, the way they paid tribute to him,
Speaker 2: and he will be certainly missed.
Speaker 1: On that show, but we will see him plenty, it.
Speaker 2: Seems, and hear him plenty two.
Speaker 1: All right, continuing on the run here, now go to
Speaker 1: the box office. It was all about Avatar Fire and Ash.
Speaker 1: I keep calling it Avatar three. This is not I'm
Speaker 1: sure James Cameron doesn't appreciate that Avatar Fire and Ash.
Speaker 1: It opened this weekend. You expected to be number one,
Speaker 1: of course, so the question is only how well did
Speaker 1: it do? Eighty eight million in the US that's pretty
Speaker 1: damn good. It added another two hundred and fifty seven
Speaker 1: million internationally, also pretty damn good. So your worldwide total
Speaker 1: for the opening weekend for the third installment of Avatar
Speaker 1: comes to three hundred and forty five million with robes.
Speaker 1: That all sounds great, but of course it's going to
Speaker 1: be compared to the first two.
Speaker 2: Right, right, So the first Avatar made seventy seven million
Speaker 2: on its date weekend in the United States.
Speaker 3: So this third one beat the first one.
Speaker 2: It did? It beat the first one. That's pretty impressive,
Speaker 2: and ultimately made two point nine two billion worldwide? Is
Speaker 2: that ultimately? Left? After it all the box office results
Speaker 2: came in, Wow, and then the second iteration, wow, wow,
Speaker 2: one hundred and thirty four million for its US debut
Speaker 2: and ended up making two point three billion worldwide, So it.
Speaker 1: Had the bigger US opening but did less than the
Speaker 1: first one. Oh, we're all inn't that crazy? But here's
Speaker 1: the thing. The eighty eight million isn't necessarily a disappointment.
Speaker 3: It's great.
Speaker 1: But both of the first two avatars were number one
Speaker 1: for seven weeks. Wow, So it's the holiday season? Is
Speaker 1: it going to have legs? To then get up and
Speaker 1: make that two billion number again? As what everybody is
Speaker 1: keeping an eye on. And these things caused a lot
Speaker 1: of money.
Speaker 2: To make three one hundred and fifty million in the production.
Speaker 1: Costs, and they always say that's before marketing, so wow,
Speaker 1: who knows. They have a long way to go to
Speaker 1: make up what they have had legs before.
Speaker 2: All right? And then coming in at number two David? What
Speaker 2: is that?
Speaker 3: This animated thing about David and Goliath?
Speaker 1: Oh, my gosh, I made a movie never heard of it,
Speaker 1: kids film, like a little kid version of David.
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 2: Number two?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 2: And then The Housemaid with Sydney Sweeney and Amanda Ciphered. Yeah,
Speaker 2: number three. I just asked you if you wanted to
Speaker 2: see it, and you quickly said no and no. It
Speaker 2: was a complete sentence. I was like, wow, okay, I
Speaker 2: guess that is not up for discussion. For asking you
Speaker 2: follow up, I didn't even well you said it so
Speaker 2: sissin like you just went no, okay. I guess I'll
Speaker 2: wait till it starts streaming or find a girlfriend to
Speaker 2: go see it with both calls. All right, next up
Speaker 2: on the run. Well, I'm almost sick of talking about this.
Speaker 2: Can someone please win the damn power ball? But it
Speaker 2: is pretty impressive. It's now at one point six billion,
Speaker 2: and yes, we did get our lottery tickets. We braided
Speaker 2: the cold yesterday. Yeah, that's it. I have it actually
Speaker 2: a pin cushion on our bulletin board with our powerball numbers. Yes,
Speaker 2: all set for tonight's jackpot. The cash payout, I like
Speaker 2: it when there's a seven seven that is really impressive.
Speaker 2: Seven hundred and thirty five point three million dollars that
Speaker 2: is the cash option.
Speaker 1: Wow, good luck to you all. Now I'm going to
Speaker 1: be I really hope somebody wins it before Christmas.
Speaker 2: That would be really cool. A Christmas week lottery win
Speaker 2: that's about as cool as a guest.
Speaker 1: So two chances Monday and Wednesday. So if it doesn't
Speaker 1: happen tonight, could happen on Wednesday. All right, folks. Something
Speaker 1: we'd like for you to consider it is our quote
Speaker 1: of the day before we let you go, This one
Speaker 1: from James Ransom. I plucked this one out and I
Speaker 1: thought this was sweet and it made me think for
Speaker 1: a moment. But he said, quote, I think all art,
Speaker 1: if it's good, is a result of really trying to
Speaker 1: create something that you can't put into words. Where language
Speaker 1: ends is where good art begins. And that kind of
Speaker 1: for some and took my breath away thinking about the
Speaker 1: idea of good art taking your breath away. You're not
Speaker 1: supposed to be able to describe it, right, Sometimes you
Speaker 1: just you're just in all of it. And he put
Speaker 1: it as an artist in a way that made very
Speaker 1: much sense to me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, from music to paintings to movies, all of that. Yes,
Speaker 2: you can say something and impact someone without necessarily using words.
Speaker 2: I love that.
Speaker 1: But saying that art is where language ends, where good
Speaker 1: art begins, that was cool. Again, you will, James Ransong,
Speaker 1: We've done several stories. I guess we're all not just celebrities,
Speaker 1: but about deaths and tragedies, certainly Brown University, things like
Speaker 1: that happening so close to the holiday, and this is
Speaker 1: another gut punch and it sucks. And a lot of
Speaker 1: families are dealing with first Christmas without blank right, somebody
Speaker 1: in their family. A lot of people deal with that.
Speaker 1: So just a reminder that so it's a tough time
Speaker 1: for a lot of.
Speaker 2: Folks and that's something to keep in mind, and also
Speaker 2: a reminder to hug the people all around you who
Speaker 2: you do have with you today right now, because you
Speaker 2: don't know. So that's a good thing to remember on
Speaker 2: this holiday week. And with that, everyone, thank you for
Speaker 2: running with us. I'm Amy Robots and I'm TJ.
Speaker 3: Holmes. Talk to Elsa
