1
00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:04,680
Speaker 1: Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast.

2
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:10,480
Speaker 2: Good morning everyone, and welcome to Morning Run. It is Tuesday,

3
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:12,840
Speaker 2: December third. I'm Amy Robots.

4
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:14,960
Speaker 1: And I'm TJ. Holmes and on our run this morning,

5
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:19,919
Speaker 1: Trump puts Hamas on the clock. Release the hostages before

6
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:23,480
Speaker 1: my inauguration or and I quote, there will be hell

7
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 1: to pay.

8
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 2: Plus President Biden is on a historic trip to Angola,

9
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 2: and that's still not far enough away to get away

10
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 2: from the screams in DC over that decision to pardon

11
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 2: his son.

12
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 1: Also three four five feet of snow, that's what some

13
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:41,240
Speaker 1: parts of the country are dealing with, and it ain't

14
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:41,720
Speaker 1: over yet.

15
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 2: And now it's the cucumbers. Dozens of people sickened, some

16
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 2: hospitalized after a salmonella outbreak tied to now recalled cucumbers.

17
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 1: Plus the good news, everyone of us has a chance

18
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 1: to win half a billion dollars tonight. The bad news

19
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 1: Your odds are one in three hundred two million, but you.

20
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:03,639
Speaker 2: Have to be in it to win it. TJ and

21
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 2: demure was the dictionary dot com word of the year.

22
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 2: Will now folks over at Oxford Dictionary have released their

23
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 2: own and it's probably not a good sign that this

24
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:16,399
Speaker 2: word is so popular. We'll get into that in just

25
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 2: a bit.

26
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 1: Bo We've got to begin on this Tuesday morning with

27
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 1: President elect Trump. He has given Hamas a deadline for

28
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 1: releasing the hostages or else. We don't exactly know what

29
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 1: that or else would be. But it didn't sound good.

30
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 2: No, it did not. Trump used a social media platform

31
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:35,679
Speaker 2: to post this message, quoting him here. There will be

32
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:38,319
Speaker 2: all hell to pay in the Middle East and for

33
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 2: those in charge who perpetrated these atrocities against humanity. He said.

34
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 2: He wants the hostages released before he takes office January twentieth.

35
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 2: He said that the members responsible will be hit harder

36
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 2: than anybody has been hit in the long and storied

37
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 2: history of the United States of America. Release the hostages now,

38
00:01:58,320 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 2: he says, so.

39
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 1: Amass militan's kidnap two hundred and fifty people in an

40
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 1: attack over a year ago that set off the current conflict.

41
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 1: About one hundred of those hostages are still unaccounted for.

42
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 1: Ceasefire negotiations between Israel and Hamas restarted last weekend. A

43
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 1: key condition is the release of all the hostages. Just

44
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 1: last week, there was movement when the US and France

45
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 1: negotiated a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hezbollah militants in Lebanon.

46
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 1: The hope is the long held belief and hope is

47
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,079
Speaker 1: that you get one done there. Maybe that could lead

48
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:31,399
Speaker 1: to a ceasefire in Gaza as well.

49
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 2: Yes, so Trump's social media threat against Tamas, we should

50
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 2: point out, followed an announcement that we got from the

51
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:41,080
Speaker 2: Israeli Defense Forces that a US Israeli citizen died after

52
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 2: that October seventh attack last year while in custody while

53
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 2: being a hostage, and that his body is currently being

54
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:50,639
Speaker 2: held in Gaza. There was no comment on Trump's post

55
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:54,399
Speaker 2: from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Nett Yahou Yeah.

56
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 1: However, early Israeli president did tweet, thank you and bless you,

57
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 1: miss President Elect. We all pray for the moment we

58
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,920
Speaker 1: see our sisters and brothers back home again. That's a

59
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 1: tweet from the Israeli president. But I don't know who

60
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: as AMA's listening. Do they dismiss the threat from Trump?

61
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: Do they look at him as well and go ah,

62
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: or do they go wait, maybe we should do something different.

63
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 2: Well, I think that they know something different will be

64
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 2: happening in the White House or at least currently from

65
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 2: what where we are currently come January twentieth, so I

66
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 2: would imagine they're listening next up on our run. As Washington,

67
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 2: d C continues to debate President Joe Biden's unexpected pardon

68
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 2: of his son, Hunter, Biden was making history as first

69
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 2: as the first American head of state ever to visit

70
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 2: the Southern African nation of Angola on Monday.

71
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 1: Yes, so is a history making trip that focuses on

72
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: a US funded railway project that focuses on the legacy

73
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 1: of slavery. So what did the reporters want to talk

74
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 1: about on the flight? The pardon of Hunter Biden. Of course,

75
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 1: that's big story. And the spokesperson for the White House,

76
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: Kareem Jean Pierre, responded to all the questions by essentially

77
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: repeating Biden's official statement that was released on the pardon.

78
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 1: This happened, of course, over the weekend Sundays when everything

79
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 1: kind of went crazy.

80
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 2: Yeah. So Hunter was scheduled to be sentenced later this

81
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 2: month for his conviction on three firearms charges. That was

82
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 2: a case that was happening in Delaware. He also had

83
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 2: already pleaded guilty to tax related charges in another case

84
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 2: in California, and his sentencing was coming up as well.

85
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 2: In that case, he was facing jail time, but now

86
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 2: that won't happen and he will be protected from prosecution

87
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 2: for any crimes he may have committed for an eleven

88
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 2: year period starting in twenty fourteen, and that is truly unprecedented.

89
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 2: It's unprecedented this pardon, not just because President Biden pardoned

90
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:52,719
Speaker 2: his son that hasn't happened before, but because this pardon

91
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 2: was so broad. He's opened the door a lot of

92
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 2: experts say to what may happen for future presidents because

93
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 2: he didn't pardon necessarily Hunter for any specific crime or

94
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 2: any crimes related to any particular events. It was like

95
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:10,039
Speaker 2: a big blanketed amnesty.

96
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:11,720
Speaker 1: So full and unconditional right.

97
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 2: So there are a lot of questions anything. Yes, the

98
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 2: future presidents Trump included what that may mean for them

99
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:21,600
Speaker 2: and they how they may interpret the pardon powers of

100
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 2: the presidency. So a lot of people debating it.

101
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 1: It was interesting to see how many Democrats have come

102
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:30,359
Speaker 1: out and openly shown their disappointment and the decisions he made.

103
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 1: One of the best and succinct ways I heard it

104
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,039
Speaker 1: was from Tommy Tubberville, of all people, from Alabama, the

105
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 1: former coach, but a Republican. He said, I would have

106
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 1: done the same thing for my son, but I wouldn't

107
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 1: have gone out and told the American people over and

108
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:45,160
Speaker 1: over and over again, it's not what I'm going to do.

109
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 1: It is kind of that simple. That would have been

110
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 1: criticism if he'd have done this, But to tell folks repeated,

111
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:52,839
Speaker 1: that's just not sitting well, and it's and then you

112
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 1: question the justice system. So you got Trump and Biden

113
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 1: are two main candidates, or the two guys who are

114
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 1: previously president, both saying that the justice system doesn't work

115
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,839
Speaker 1: and it's broken because of how it treated them and

116
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 1: their own families. I'm sure there are guys at Rikers Island,

117
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:12,160
Speaker 1: at La County Jail, Cook County Jail, for City, Arkansas

118
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,839
Speaker 1: Correctional Facility right now with the same claim about the

119
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 1: justice system.

120
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 2: When you just said that, I know, I get chills

121
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 2: a lot, But I got chills because it does ring

122
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 2: true for so many people. And when you personally apply,

123
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:26,280
Speaker 2: or at least feel like you've been slighted or you've

124
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,719
Speaker 2: been targeted. Isn't that how a lot of people feel?

125
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 2: It's so true. So this is fascinating And to your point,

126
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:36,600
Speaker 2: the issue isn't the fact that he pardoned his son.

127
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 2: It's the fact that he said he wasn't going to

128
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 2: And there in lies the problem with politicians and the people.

129
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 2: We don't trust our leaders because when they tell us

130
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 2: one thing, they do another. And this is a classic example.

131
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 2: You even had the spokesperson who's on that plane answering

132
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 2: those reporters questions, Cre Jean Pierre as recently as November seventh,

133
00:06:56,839 --> 00:07:01,040
Speaker 2: telling the reporters basically stop asking me if President Biden

134
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 2: is going to pardon his son. We have told you no.

135
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:05,160
Speaker 2: And yet here we are.

136
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 1: All right, folks, We'll continue on our run this morning

137
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: with us once again having to tell you to check

138
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 1: your refrigerators because the Food and Drug Administration has expanded

139
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 1: it's cucumber recall to thirty five states now and five

140
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 1: Canadian provinces after sixty eight people have been sickened and

141
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 1: nineteen of those folks ended up in the hospital.

142
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 2: Yeah. And in addition, by the way, ten thousand cartons

143
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 2: of organic eggs sold at Costco under the Kirkland brand

144
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 2: have also been recalled. The major concern with the eggs,

145
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 2: and most notably with the cucumbers salmonella infection. They've been contaminated.

146
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 1: Okay, now the cucumber recall here with this one. All

147
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 1: the effective produce was grown in Senora, Mexico, and then

148
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 1: sold to three US companies between October twelfth and November

149
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 1: twenty six. The companies are sun Fed.

150
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 2: Produce, Blowian Farms.

151
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 1: Blowian Farms and Russ Davis So again, Sunfed Balloion Farms

152
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 1: and Russy Davis So.

153
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 2: Now several grocery store chains are involved because they purchased

154
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 2: the cucumbers from those farms. The cucumbers have been sold

155
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 2: at Walmart, Wegmans, Costco, and Albertson's stores across dozens of states,

156
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 2: too many to go over, so we encourage you to

157
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 2: go to the FDA website. It has a full list

158
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 2: of the stores affected in each state.

159
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 1: And when I hear salmonella, the first thing I think

160
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 1: about is meat. I don't know why I chicken for

161
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: some reason. Yeah, but a lot of this does happen.

162
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 1: Salmonella outbreaks are associated with fruits and vegetables in one

163
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 1: way or another. But it's a bacteria that can enter

164
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 1: products when workers handling food don't wash their hands. Or

165
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 1: when contaminated water is used to irrigate the crops. Symptoms

166
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:54,320
Speaker 1: of zalmonella infection usually occur between six hours and six

167
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 1: days of eating the affected produce and include fever, diarrhea,

168
00:08:58,200 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 1: and stomach cramps.

169
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 2: And we should point out some of these infections are fatal,

170
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 2: so it's super important to seek medical attention if you're

171
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 2: experiencing any of these symptoms. So far, there had been

172
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 2: no deaths, thankfully as a result of this outbreak, but

173
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:15,080
Speaker 2: according to the CDC, salmonella causes around four hundred and

174
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:18,960
Speaker 2: twenty deaths each and every year here in the United States,

175
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 2: so this is something certainly to take note of. And

176
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 2: to you know, we had cucumbers last night. I actually

177
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 2: was a little bit concerned. But so far, so good,

178
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 2: and probably I'm not going to eat anymore until this

179
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 2: is cleared up.

180
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 1: True bad, But I can't keep up with the list.

181
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 1: It was the onions, there were carrots, we had what

182
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 1: do we have in the.

183
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 2: Beef deli meat? It was the listeria. Yeah, in the

184
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 2: last several months, there have been a number it seems

185
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 2: like a growing number of recalls and outbreaks just this

186
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 2: past fall.

187
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 1: But we should tell you this, and this is coming

188
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 1: from Robot's dad, who was a MicroB I'll just was

189
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 1: with him not long ago and was grilling him about

190
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 1: all these things. He said, this is not necessarily If

191
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 1: this can give you any comfort, he said, this is

192
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,960
Speaker 1: not a matter of there being a problem in the line,

193
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 1: or it's dirty, or they're skipping steps. It's a sign

194
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:22,960
Speaker 1: that our system is working to catch things. It's working

195
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 1: so well that it's catching things and getting them off

196
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,839
Speaker 1: the market. So don't be worried that for some reason

197
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 1: your food is more contaminated. It's just that we have

198
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:31,959
Speaker 1: better systems in place to catch it. And that is

199
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:32,440
Speaker 1: a good sign.

200
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 2: Yes, if that may be the silver lining, it might

201
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 2: not make you feel any better. And I'm still going

202
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:39,679
Speaker 2: to toss the cucumbers in my refrigerator right now.

203
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,679
Speaker 1: All right, folks, we'll stay with us on this Tuesday morning.

204
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 1: Ron When we come back, feet of snow have fallen

205
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 1: and it ain't over yet, and tonight is the night

206
00:10:48,320 --> 00:11:01,959
Speaker 1: we could all get rich. Next up our run, I'm

207
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,679
Speaker 1: gonna give you all two options for how I should

208
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 1: leave his next story. Both of them were just written

209
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 1: and given to me by my Theeremy Roeboch. It could

210
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 1: either go with snow snow go away, or option two.

211
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 2: Was say it ain't snow.

212
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 1: Okay, And with that next up on our run, say

213
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 1: it ain't snow. Lake Effect snow is bearing communities and

214
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 1: seven states from Wisconsin to New York, and it is

215
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 1: still going to be coming down today.

216
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:34,319
Speaker 2: Yeah. The growing snow totals are record breaking and frankly

217
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 2: jaw dropping. Here's a few examples. Barnes Corners, New York,

218
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:42,959
Speaker 2: already reported sixty five inches and counting on the ground.

219
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 2: Fifty six inches in Saybrook, Ohio, forty two inches in Gaylord, Michigan.

220
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,840
Speaker 2: Thirty inches so far in Erie, Pennsylvania. Note I keep

221
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 2: saying so far.

222
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 1: Because those meteorologists are saying that some areas because in

223
00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 1: additional six to twenty inches today and into tomorrow in

224
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 1: western Michigan is blowing snow led to whiteout conditions that

225
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:08,960
Speaker 1: shut down completely shut down Interstate ninety four on Monday.

226
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, there was a wicked accident there and whiteout conditions.

227
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 2: It's just you shouldn't be out and about if you're

228
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 2: in these areas. And here's a deal, even if you're

229
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 2: not blanketed with snow, millions of US present parties included

230
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 2: are under our blankets. Temperatures are ten to fifteen degrees

231
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,320
Speaker 2: below normal from the Midwest to the mid Atlantic and

232
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 2: here in the Northeast. Even parts of the Southeast are

233
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 2: dealing with freeze warnings once again today.

234
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 1: So Amina Raal just tell us that this is all

235
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 1: part of a polar vortex that's coming down from Siberia.

236
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 1: Thanks super slow, guys. No, it is going to warm

237
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 1: up in mid December. They expect another band of colder,

238
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 1: snowy air and they're calling another stretched polar vortex, this

239
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:54,719
Speaker 1: one to arrive just in time for the holidays. Now

240
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 1: that one, well, I don't know if we like it

241
00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:01,200
Speaker 1: or not love it. Of a white Christmas sound great

242
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 1: if you're not in an airport trying to get somewhere.

243
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 2: That's true, that's true. But I cannot think of the

244
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 2: last time New York has had a New York City,

245
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 2: I should say, has had a white Christmas. It's been

246
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 2: a while. In fact, we haven't had a lot of

247
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:18,560
Speaker 2: snow in the past couple of years. So I'm excited

248
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 2: at the idea of possibly having a white Christmas. Of course,

249
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 2: they can't predict it yet. But they say they like

250
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 2: the chances, specifically in the Northeast of potentially having a

251
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 2: white Christmas this year before rather than what we've had

252
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:35,440
Speaker 2: in the past. I'll take it all right. Next up

253
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 2: on our morning run, let's continue the exciting news. Somebody

254
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 2: could win five hundred and forty one million dollars tonight,

255
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:45,440
Speaker 2: and that somebody could be you, yes, you or me.

256
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 1: The Mega Millions drawing is tonight at eleven o'clock Eastern Time,

257
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 1: and after no Winter and Friday's drawing, the jackpot is

258
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:57,959
Speaker 1: now at five hundred and forty one million dollars to day.

259
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 1: If you choose to take a lump some that would

260
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 1: be around two hundred and fifty seven point six million dollars.

261
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:08,840
Speaker 2: That's remarkable. And guess what, there has not been a

262
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 2: jackpot winner since early September. That's allowed this jackpot to

263
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:17,560
Speaker 2: grow into what is now the twelfth largest Mega Millions

264
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 2: in history. And you were saying it depends on where

265
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 2: you live, well how.

266
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 1: Rich you could get, because if you, of course, as

267
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 1: soon a let's say you take the two hundred and

268
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 1: fifty seven million lump sum, the government, federal government, they're

269
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 1: going to take twenty five percent of it automatically. But

270
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 1: we're depending on where you live your state. Are you

271
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 1: going to owe your state? If you live in Texas,

272
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 1: Tennessee you don't owe. Or Florida, I thought you don't

273
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 1: owe any state income tax.

274
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 2: Wouldn't that that's a huge difference.

275
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 1: It's huge. So that's a lot of money. You go,

276
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 1: wow in one of those states.

277
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 2: Thought about that. But this also blew my mind as

278
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 2: we were looking up this mega millions uh drawing for tonight.

279
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 2: Remember the one point one to eight billion dollar jackpot

280
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 2: that was one in New Jersey. It has not been

281
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 2: claimed yet. That's always like a like I don't get

282
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 2: lottery tickets very often, but I would like to get

283
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 2: one today. But I always fear like I would be

284
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 2: that person who would get it and then just like

285
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 2: toss it in a drawer or forget I had it,

286
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 2: and all the while you're the winner and you don't

287
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 2: even know it. I mean, it's it's kind of crazy

288
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 2: to think that no one has claimed that billion dollar

289
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 2: plus jackpot yet.

290
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 1: Chances are that person doesn't know they want. I know,

291
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 1: chances are that ticket might it has to be gone

292
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 1: because I know they say you take time to get

293
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 1: your ducks in a row to call an attorney. This

294
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 1: is something else.

295
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 2: Now I would be I would be claiming my prize,

296
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 2: like within a minute of finding that ticket. I would

297
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 2: not delay or anything like just in case something went wrong.

298
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 2: I would would want to confirm it.

299
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 1: All.

300
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 2: Yeah. Wow, that's a bummer. But I guess if you

301
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 2: don't know, you don't know what you don't know.

302
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 1: Man, that's a tough one. Uh nlfhano leg of our

303
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 1: run today Oxford Dictionary's word of the year. That word

304
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 1: is brain rotted. First, we'll give you the definition, the

305
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 1: supposed deterioration of a person's mental and intellectual state, especially

306
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 1: viewed as the results of overconsumption of material, in particular

307
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 1: online content considered to be trivial or unchallenging.

308
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 2: So Oxford said that this word saw a huge jump

309
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 2: in usage in twenty twenty four, but they can trace

310
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 2: the word pack this is crazy to eighteen fifty four

311
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 2: when Henry David Thurreau used it in his book. Walden

312
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 2: and Oxford explained what brain rod is and why they

313
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 2: chose it. It says it speaks to one of the

314
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 2: perceived dangers of virtual life and how we are using

315
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 2: our free time. It feels like a rightful next chapter

316
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 2: in the cultural conversation about humanity and technology. It is

317
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 2: not surprising that so many voters embrace the term, endorsing

318
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 2: it as our choice this year. Yeah, they actually put

319
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 2: it to a vote and brain rot one for all

320
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:12,480
Speaker 2: the worst reasons you can imagine, but very apropos I

321
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 2: thought that.

322
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,679
Speaker 1: Was so well said. They put it in such a

323
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 1: good way. And then I thought, oh, it's Oxford. They're

324
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 1: good with words.

325
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 2: It's kind of what they did.

326
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, so well said. So what were runner up?

327
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:25,159
Speaker 2: Is it?

328
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 1: Runners up? Yeah?

329
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,960
Speaker 2: It runners up? I think right here, just like attorneys general.

330
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 2: It always screws me up when I have to add

331
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 2: an s in the first word. But yes, runners up.

332
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:35,920
Speaker 1: So we're we had five here. One of them one's

333
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 1: dynamic pricing. I think everybody knows what that is now.

334
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:40,680
Speaker 1: I hate it is just a nicer way to say

335
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 1: we're going to gouge you. Yeah, because it's raining and

336
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 1: you're trying to get an uber. But okay, Lore, I

337
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:51,479
Speaker 1: don't know. I wasn't sure about this one necessarily, but

338
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:55,160
Speaker 1: Lore was one. Okay, Romanticy did you know this one?

339
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 2: No? And I actually had to look it up because

340
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 2: I have not heard this word used. But as we've

341
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 2: already established last week when we had the word of

342
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:06,200
Speaker 2: the year from dictionary dot com, I'm clearly under a rock.

343
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 2: But this is a genre of fiction that is like

344
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:13,639
Speaker 2: romantic fiction and fantasy. So there's themes of magic and

345
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 2: supernatural alongside a romantic storyline. So it's the kind of

346
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:20,360
Speaker 2: novels people are reading.

347
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 1: Oh, specifically novels like I couldn't watch a romanticy.

348
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 2: Maybe I mean a novel could be turned into a movie.

349
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,199
Speaker 2: I haven't seen that on Netflix yet as one of

350
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 2: my categories romanticy, but I'd be willing to click on

351
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 2: that right.

352
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:35,679
Speaker 1: Another runner up word of the year is slop. This

353
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,639
Speaker 1: one makes perfect sense. It's art, writing and other content

354
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:42,719
Speaker 1: generated by AI and just kind of thrown around and

355
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 1: just doesn't mean anything. It's inauthentic, it's inaccurate, it's low quality.

356
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 2: It's dangerous.

357
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:47,880
Speaker 1: It's slop.

358
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 2: It's sloped. But wouldn't you agree that's dangerous. We have

359
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 2: to do something on AI because it is unbelievable what

360
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:57,680
Speaker 2: you can do with it, and it's deeply concerning. Also

361
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:00,199
Speaker 2: a runner up, this is really interesting. The word of

362
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:03,959
Speaker 2: the year for dictionary dot Com was demure, and that

363
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 2: was also on the list for Oxford. Very demure, very mindful.

364
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 2: We talked about it last week the TikToker Jules Lebron,

365
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 2: who coined that phrase, and it went like crazy and

366
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 2: apparently all of our kids we were like, we don't

367
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 2: know what that is. We asked all of the girls

368
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:25,160
Speaker 2: over Thanksgiving. They're like, oh yeah, very demure, very mindful.

369
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 2: They all knew exactly what it was. So clearly that

370
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:30,919
Speaker 2: was on the list as well, and now we know why.

371
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're still catching up. But before you go about

372
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:36,199
Speaker 1: here Tuesday, we would like you to consider this your

373
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 1: quote of the day.

374
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 2: Every strike brings me closer to the next home run.

375
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:43,919
Speaker 2: That is from the legendary Babe Ruth. It's always a

376
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,119
Speaker 2: good reminder that when you keep trying and if you

377
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 2: swing and you miss, you never know what the next

378
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:50,400
Speaker 2: at that home bring.

379
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 1: You've been pulling out some sports quotes here lately, no

380
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 1: prompting for me. That was so folks, every strike brings

381
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 1: me closer to the next home run. And with that,

382
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 1: we appreciate you running with us as always.

383
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:06,200
Speaker 2: I'm t J and I'm Amy Robock. Have a great Tuesday,

384
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 2: Everyone stay away from those cucumbers. Mm hmmm.
