Speaker 1: Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast. Good
Speaker 1: morning everyone, and welcome to Morning Run. It's Monday, August
Speaker 1: twenty fifth.
Speaker 2: I'm Amy Robots and I'm TJ Holme. What was your
Speaker 2: sleeps for eighty three?
Speaker 3: Look at you? I know right? She is back and
Speaker 3: raring to go. Everybody, Yes, the robot goes back with us.
Speaker 3: What is your number roads that power ball has to
Speaker 3: get up to? What before you actually buy a ticket?
Speaker 1: I think I've only bought a ticket once in my life,
Speaker 1: and that was when it was like record setting?
Speaker 3: Was it?
Speaker 2: You could be a billionaire? I believe.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think they have. We've gotten spoilt with the
Speaker 3: big numbers and then we don't take interest until the
Speaker 3: numbers get big enough. Now they might be big enough.
Speaker 3: We're up to seven hundred and fifty million, this might
Speaker 3: be big enough that we all need to get involved.
Speaker 3: As another drawing tonight.
Speaker 1: I always have the intention to buy one, and then
Speaker 1: I always forget to buy one.
Speaker 3: But then it becomes kind of a communal thing everybody's
Speaker 3: excited about and say, yeah, go out, but yes, it's
Speaker 3: it's worth paying attention to. Now. Also, we told you
Speaker 3: about this last week. This Kobe MJ a sports card
Speaker 3: memorabilia card with both of them on it. Well, it
Speaker 3: did sell, and it was for a record. It's now
Speaker 3: the second most valuable sports anything ever sold.
Speaker 2: So even if I won the jackpot, could I still
Speaker 2: have afforded it?
Speaker 3: You could have?
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, but then and only then, well.
Speaker 3: You could afford it several of them. But we'll get
Speaker 3: into both of those. Also, Congress the Netflix at the
Speaker 3: box office. Netflix Streaming Giant just pulled off a first
Speaker 3: win for themselves at the box office on a movie.
Speaker 3: Robes has been out for months.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna need some further explanations on that one.
Speaker 3: We will explain. And then he's not the first name
Speaker 3: you think of right when you think of Sopranos, but
Speaker 3: as soon as you see his face and you know
Speaker 3: his character, but a beloved character from The Sopranos, Jerry
Speaker 3: Adler has died and Robes didn't know about his background.
Speaker 1: His background story is remarkable. And for anyone who feels
Speaker 1: like I'm too old to do this or it's too
Speaker 1: late to try this, this man in his death, as
Speaker 1: we learn about his storied career, is going to inspire you.
Speaker 2: I assure you Oh.
Speaker 3: That is very cool. Also, remember, folks on your phone
Speaker 3: right now, that Apple podcast app top right corner of
Speaker 3: our screen page. Little button says follow Just click that
Speaker 3: you can always get our updates. Also, we'll be talking
Speaker 3: about this morning, the fact that the Guard National Guard
Speaker 3: now packing on the streets of DC. Also, somebody keeps
Speaker 3: swatting colleges. Also that National Guard. Yeah, we talked about
Speaker 3: them in DC. Where they could be showing up in
Speaker 3: a city near you if you live in Chicago, Baltimore,
Speaker 3: or New York. Also, an outspoken Epstein victim has more
Speaker 3: to say, even though she's passed away. A brushfire is
Speaker 3: threatening the grapes in Napa and roads. A Little League
Speaker 3: World Series. Always rooting for the US side, but it's
Speaker 3: hard to root against kids from anywhere. It didn't work
Speaker 3: out for the US yesterday. US side, But just a
Speaker 3: very cool cute story. Always the Little League World Series
Speaker 3: wrapped up.
Speaker 1: Can't wait for that. We'll get to all of that
Speaker 1: in just a moment. But we are going to begin
Speaker 1: our run on this this Monday in our nation's capital.
Speaker 1: The National Guard is patrolling the streets of DC. Well
Speaker 1: now they're going to be armed, but it's unclear just
Speaker 1: how many of them will be carrying weapons.
Speaker 3: And it's unclear exactly why this escalation is necessary. The
Speaker 3: military said some members will be carrying pistols or even
Speaker 3: rifles on some assignments, and they be allowed to use
Speaker 3: them only for self protection and quote as a last
Speaker 3: resort in response to an imminent threat of death or
Speaker 3: serious bodily harm.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and again there's no word on what prompted the change.
Speaker 1: The escalation for the National Guard, which was ordered to
Speaker 1: DC as part of President Trump's crackdown on crime in
Speaker 1: the district. The Guard was supposed to be there to
Speaker 1: show a presence and support local law enforcement, but appears
Speaker 1: that has now been elevated.
Speaker 3: Yes, and I might not just be DC, because the
Speaker 3: President has now put other cities on notice. National Guard
Speaker 3: could be coming to your streets as well. Those cities Chicago, Baltimore,
Speaker 3: and New York.
Speaker 1: In the president's words, quote, I think Chicago will be
Speaker 1: our next, then will help New York, to which the
Speaker 1: mayor of Chicago responded it would be unlawful and uncalled
Speaker 1: for to send the Guard to his city, and then
Speaker 1: he pointed to stats that show crime on the decline
Speaker 1: in his city.
Speaker 3: And also in an ongoing back and forth with the
Speaker 3: Maryland Governor Wes Moore, President Trump threatened to send troops
Speaker 3: into Baltimore after Moore, in Trump's words, invited him to
Speaker 3: Baltimore in a nasty and provocative tone.
Speaker 2: Do we know what that was though? What were the words?
Speaker 3: Well, he just said he should come to our street.
Speaker 3: He said it in a speech. Yes, he may be sandastic.
Speaker 3: I don't think it was sarcastic, but it was still
Speaker 3: kind of forceful. It was almost daring him to come
Speaker 3: to the city. And he didn't like the tone. I
Speaker 3: just hate that. Okay, I'm going to send the National
Speaker 3: Guard in because I don't like your tone, young man.
Speaker 3: That's this is where we are in our politics now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, It's been that way for a while. Unfortunate, and
Speaker 1: I don't think it's going away anytime soon.
Speaker 2: Next up on the Run.
Speaker 1: For the second time in just four days, students were
Speaker 1: sent running. SWAT teams responded to a report of an
Speaker 1: active shooter on campus, and once again police say it
Speaker 1: was all a hope.
Speaker 3: This has got to stop. This call came in an
Speaker 3: eleven Sunday morning about an active shooter at a dorm
Speaker 3: on campus. There at Villanova and police swept the area
Speaker 3: and about forty minutes later we're able to give the
Speaker 3: all clear. Now, this happened to Villanova on Thursday as well,
Speaker 3: and that happened during a new student orientation.
Speaker 1: The university president at the time called that a cruel hoax.
Speaker 1: No arrests have been made. And then yesterday police got
Speaker 1: a call about an active shooter at the library on
Speaker 1: the campus of the University of South Carolina, and that
Speaker 1: as well turned out to be false. This is disgusting, honestly,
Speaker 1: this actually makes me feel physically ill. Who would do
Speaker 1: this and why? And it's just such a threat to
Speaker 1: response teams in general, just to not know, to feel
Speaker 1: that fear and to misuse resources like that.
Speaker 3: And we know we've been on campuses after shootings before,
Speaker 3: and just any college campus when there is a crime
Speaker 3: and then an unsolved crime, it just spooks a campus
Speaker 3: community of young people. Who is among us? Are we
Speaker 3: being targeted? Are we? And to think that somebody is
Speaker 3: I wonder if there's somebody sitting in a room thinking
Speaker 3: this is funny, they're sitting around calling it in he he.
Speaker 2: I really hope they can.
Speaker 1: I mean, it seems like in this day and age,
Speaker 1: the way we are able to track people and things
Speaker 1: that they'll be able to find out who the culprit
Speaker 1: is and use the appropriate justice necessary to make this
Speaker 1: stop a right.
Speaker 3: Continuing on our run now with Epstein accuser Virginia Roberts Giuffrey.
Speaker 3: She completed a memoir before her death last spring, and
Speaker 3: it's now set to be released at the end of October.
Speaker 1: Nobody's Girl, a Memoir of Surviving abuse and Fighting for Justice,
Speaker 1: is described by publisher Penguin Random House as an unsparing
Speaker 1: and definitive account of Geffrey's time with Jeffrey Epstein and
Speaker 1: Gallaine Maxwell, who trafficked her and others to numerous prominent men.
Speaker 1: The description goes on to say that the pages of
Speaker 1: Nobody's Girl preserve her voice and her legacy forever.
Speaker 3: Included in the book a book's announcement was an email
Speaker 3: from Jeufrey that she wrote just weeks before she died
Speaker 3: by suicide. It reads, in the event of my passing,
Speaker 3: I would like to ensure that Nobody's Girl is still released.
Speaker 3: I believe it has the potential to impact many lives
Speaker 3: and foster necessary discussions about these grave Injustices.
Speaker 1: Geffrey has maintained she was a teenager working as a
Speaker 1: spa attended at mar A Lago when Ghlaine Maxwell approached
Speaker 1: her and hired her as a personal messuse for Jeffrey Epstein,
Speaker 1: and then was flown around the world for sexual encounters
Speaker 1: with men, starting at the age of seventeen. She is
Speaker 1: detailed everything that she says happened to her, and so
Speaker 1: there will be a lot of anticipation for this memoir
Speaker 1: to be released. It officially will be out on October
Speaker 1: twenty Fight.
Speaker 3: We continue on the run now with Broadway and Hollywood
Speaker 3: legend Jerry Adler. Yes, we've just lost this guy. A
Speaker 3: lot of people know him as the actor from The Sopranos,
Speaker 3: but he has died now at the age of ninety six.
Speaker 1: Adler was best known as Hermann Hesh Rabkin, adviser to
Speaker 1: Tony Soprano in the hit HBO series, but his career
Speaker 1: began behind the scenes on Broadway long before he pivoted
Speaker 1: to acting much later in his mid sixties. I believe
Speaker 1: his first role he was sixty five.
Speaker 3: That's cool, Okay, that's cool. Adler was part of fifty
Speaker 3: three Broadway productions like My Fair Lady and Annie. He
Speaker 3: served as either stage manager, producer, or director. In addition
Speaker 3: to the sopranos, Adler also starred in The Good Wife,
Speaker 3: Rescue Me, Mad About You, and had guest spots on
Speaker 3: shows like The West Wing and broad City.
Speaker 1: Last year, Adler published his memoir Too Funny for Words
Speaker 1: Backstage Tales from Broadway, Television and the movies, and in
Speaker 1: it he wrote that he's ready to go at a
Speaker 1: moment's notice.
Speaker 3: He talked about how strange it was to be recognized
Speaker 3: for his acting after spending decades working behind the scenes.
Speaker 3: He told The New York Times in ninety two that
Speaker 3: there was one advantage to being preserved on film, quote,
Speaker 3: I'm immortal.
Speaker 1: But it was great to just read all the folks
Speaker 1: who had worked with him as a producer. They just
Speaker 1: said he was the kindest, funniest guy. He came from
Speaker 1: a storied family of stage legends. His cousin actually just
Speaker 1: was well known for her acting technique. That actually has
Speaker 1: a school at NYU named after her. That I know,
Speaker 1: Ava was that my daughter was a part of. So
Speaker 1: it's cool to hear his background, but just to know
Speaker 1: that he did not even begin acting again until the
Speaker 1: age of sixty five.
Speaker 2: So cool, all right.
Speaker 1: Next up on our run, we head to California, where
Speaker 1: a wine country wildfire is now threatening life, structures, and yes,
Speaker 1: the grapes in Napa.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this fire is known as the Picket Fires. Started
Speaker 3: Thursday near Calistoga's burned seven thousand acres. As of this recording,
Speaker 3: the fire was only a lit seven percent contained. Now
Speaker 3: a lot of people in that area are under evacuation orders.
Speaker 1: Yeah, more than twelve hundred firefighters are now working to
Speaker 1: contain this thing. It's moving quickly and it's threatening to
Speaker 1: make its way from the hills down to some vineyards.
Speaker 1: There are reports that some winery owners and residents stayed
Speaker 1: up all night. They've been doing this, soaking their property
Speaker 1: with hoses. Can you imagine just the amount of money
Speaker 1: that's at stake here if that fire moves. So yes,
Speaker 1: all resources are being directed towards this fire.
Speaker 2: But it's scary, all right.
Speaker 3: We continue now on the run with the milestone moment
Speaker 3: for Netflix at the box office. This is the one
Speaker 3: that took some explanation. You're saying, ohks, oh, yes, the
Speaker 3: streamer Netflix has been producing and putting out award winning
Speaker 3: movies for a while now, but they always don't put
Speaker 3: them out for theatrical release, and they've never had one
Speaker 3: to go to number one at the box office until now.
Speaker 1: And what movie is that, you ask, Well, it's an
Speaker 1: animated movie about a K pop group that hunts demons.
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, all right.
Speaker 1: The Netflix streaming hit K Pop Demon Hunters has now
Speaker 1: found success at the box office and estimated to have
Speaker 1: made between eighteen to twenty million dollars this weekend, which
Speaker 1: would be enough just for perspective here to edge out
Speaker 1: Weapons for the number one spot.
Speaker 3: Yes, and that would make K Pop Demon Hunters the
Speaker 3: first number one movie at the box office ever for Netflix.
Speaker 3: And the movie has actually been out for months. It
Speaker 3: debuted on Netflix in June and has become one of
Speaker 3: the most popular movies, the most watched in the history
Speaker 3: of Netflix. Now it's not just that's not really the
Speaker 3: reason Robes they put it out. It's because the music.
Speaker 3: It's about a K pop group that saves the world
Speaker 3: through its music by killing demons. So the music has
Speaker 3: been so good we've done stories on it, setting records.
Speaker 2: On streaming trucks Spotify right.
Speaker 3: Setting records. So the movie they released is a single
Speaker 3: long movie. So people have been showing up in droves
Speaker 3: dressing up as a kid. Isn't that cute?
Speaker 2: Have you heard any of the music?
Speaker 3: Not one song?
Speaker 2: It's funny.
Speaker 1: Nikki, my best friend she sent me a said you
Speaker 1: got to run to this and I laughed. I did
Speaker 1: not click on it yet, but it was one of
Speaker 1: their hits apparently, so I'll have to try it on
Speaker 1: the next round.
Speaker 3: But it works. It was a good running song.
Speaker 2: I haven't clicked on it. I'm going to do it.
Speaker 2: I'm going to do it on the run tomorrow. All right,
Speaker 2: we'll stay with.
Speaker 3: Us here, folks. What you need to be doing today
Speaker 3: is to go buying youse up a Powerball ticket. You
Speaker 3: still got time, still got a chance to get seven
Speaker 3: hundred and fifty million tonight. Also, a streak was broken
Speaker 3: at the Little League World Series yesterday, and it's not
Speaker 3: good for the US on now. And a card, a
Speaker 3: simple card, a sports card, why they did it just
Speaker 3: sell for a record twelve point nine million dollars.
Speaker 1: Welcome back to this Monday morning run and next up
Speaker 1: on the run on it's getting serious people, Maybe it's
Speaker 1: time to get a Powerball ticket. The drawing tonight has
Speaker 1: jumped to seven hundred and fifty million dollars after no
Speaker 1: one won Saturday's drawing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, nobody's won one of these since May thirty. First
Speaker 3: we go back that far. These drawings have been going on.
Speaker 3: They do two a week, so that gives you an idea.
Speaker 3: At seven hundred and fifty million, we're still not quite
Speaker 3: going to be in record lottery territory just yet. Do
Speaker 3: you remember that two point zero four billion in twenty
Speaker 3: twenty two and it was just a single ticket to
Speaker 3: somebody out in California that won that. So if you
Speaker 3: win the seven hundred and fifty million, sure you could
Speaker 3: take the seven fifty that's over thirty years, but no,
Speaker 3: your cash payout option is three hundred and thirty eight
Speaker 3: point six million, not back.
Speaker 1: You know, I remember the last time we bought a
Speaker 1: Powerball ticket? Where did it go to Christmas Eve or Chris?
Speaker 1: We bought some, the whole family, remember, and we opened
Speaker 1: because it was something right around the drawing and we
Speaker 1: were want well. Of course we didn't win, thus the podcast,
Speaker 1: but no, that was last time.
Speaker 2: I remember. We bought it for everybody to open up.
Speaker 3: How high we had to have gotten high?
Speaker 1: It was high enough where it was exciting and then
Speaker 1: sad when we didn't win.
Speaker 2: All Right, it was not a Christmas miracle for us.
Speaker 1: Next up on the run, A streak was broken at
Speaker 1: the Little League World Series yesterday, and it wasn't a
Speaker 1: good one for the United States. For the first time
Speaker 1: since twenty seventeen, an international team has taken the title.
Speaker 3: Yeah, congrats to the kids from Chinese TYPEI who beat
Speaker 3: the kids from Nevada seven to nothing. I was quite dominating.
Speaker 3: This is the returns at the top for the Chinese
Speaker 3: TYPEY team, which has actually won more title than any
Speaker 3: other international team. But this is their first title since
Speaker 3: ninety six.
Speaker 2: We had a bit of a drought there, thirty year
Speaker 2: drought almost.
Speaker 3: It was so that's why they were so excited yesterday
Speaker 3: to see this. But the kid the picture was so dominant.
Speaker 3: He had a no hitter going into the final innings.
Speaker 3: But I put the perspective there. He throws eighty eighty
Speaker 3: two miles an hour. Now to us, they keep up
Speaker 3: with Major League Baseball, they throw ninety five. This is
Speaker 3: the equivalent of one hundred and seven mile per hour
Speaker 3: fastball in the Majors. Because of the shortened distance. They
Speaker 3: have a shorter distance from the to the home plate
Speaker 3: in Little League?
Speaker 2: Got it?
Speaker 3: So you got forty six feet. This thing is coming
Speaker 3: at you. They said it's he's unhittable almost.
Speaker 2: Oh wow.
Speaker 1: All right, well, congratulations to them and the final leg
Speaker 1: of our run. We have a new record for the
Speaker 1: most expensive sports collectible card ever sold at auction. Okay,
Speaker 1: this card's official name is a doozy.
Speaker 2: I'm going to read it for you.
Speaker 1: It's called the two thousand and seven two thousand and
Speaker 1: eight Upper Deck Exquisite Collection Dual Logo Man Autographs Jordan
Speaker 1: and Bryant Card.
Speaker 3: You've nailed it, and that is the exact description. I
Speaker 3: will put it another way. It's a card signed by
Speaker 3: two of the absolute all time greats, Jordan and Kobe.
Speaker 3: This thing has an NBA logo patch from their jerseys
Speaker 3: attached to it and their autographs. This is something that
Speaker 3: can never be replicated, of course, because we've lost one
Speaker 3: of the two legends. But it's actually referred to Robes
Speaker 3: as the holy Grail of collectibles. Why are you laughing?
Speaker 3: There are sports folks out there really getting upset with
Speaker 3: you need to stop this now. This was expected to
Speaker 3: fetch around six million dollars at auction, and it ended
Speaker 3: up doubling that and sold for a new record twelve
Speaker 3: point nine million.
Speaker 1: The seller and the buyer are anonymous at this point,
Speaker 1: and FYI, the previous record for a sports card was
Speaker 1: twelve point six million dollars. That was for a Mickey
Speaker 1: Mantle card. The Jordan Kobe card is now also the
Speaker 1: second most expensive sports collectible ever, after Babe Ruts nineteen
Speaker 1: thirty two World Series uniform, which sold for twenty four
Speaker 1: point two million dollars just last year.
Speaker 2: What do people do? They just display this in their hallway.
Speaker 3: It's yeah, I would. It's art, it's history, it's special,
Speaker 3: it's I mean just some of the most historic, some
Speaker 3: of the things you can remember most in your life
Speaker 3: was something that was happening during a sporting event. All
Speaker 3: have them. Where there's Georgia football, right if the game
Speaker 3: you were at when they won a national championship, and
Speaker 3: down the road some jersey signed by some acts.
Speaker 1: So cute you were trying to relate it back to
Speaker 1: me so I could get it, But now you do
Speaker 1: not really.
Speaker 3: Okay, Hi, folks will deal with this later before right now,
Speaker 3: before you go about your Monday. Something we'd like for
Speaker 3: you to consider it is our quote of the day.
Speaker 3: This needs to be a good one because you kind
Speaker 3: of kind of annoyed me on the sports story there.
Speaker 1: Okay, well this is actually gonna speak directly to you.
Speaker 1: Take charge of your happiness and you will never be disappointed.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Fine, the power is from within.
Speaker 3: Oh God, I know I need to be without you
Speaker 3: for a few minutes to find that power.
Speaker 1: Ah. Yeah, there was no one who like this is
Speaker 1: one of those quotes that was disputed. There were so
Speaker 1: many people who have said different versions of this, but
Speaker 1: I thought it was a great way to take charge
Speaker 1: of your monday because you take charge of your happiness
Speaker 1: and you will never be disappointed.
Speaker 3: I love that right and to that point on happiness
Speaker 3: and being disappointed, we want you to help us help
Speaker 3: One of our readers to our Yahoo column. She wrote
Speaker 3: in because she has an issue with her parents. She
Speaker 3: wrote in that her parents don't know she's in a relationship.
Speaker 3: She's afraid her family won't approve, so she hasn't told
Speaker 3: them she's in a relationship. She's thinking maybe she should
Speaker 3: wait until they're engaged. You can check out the advice
Speaker 3: that Robes and I gave her on our column on
Speaker 3: Yahoo dot com in the life section. It'll be right there,
Speaker 3: and then later today we'll have a podcast in which
Speaker 3: we kind of go at it about what we recommended
Speaker 3: for this young lady and romees. I think it's we
Speaker 3: more agreed than disagreed on this one.
Speaker 2: I think, yes, I agree.
Speaker 1: But what we also love is once you all read
Speaker 1: the column, we'd love for you to put comments in
Speaker 1: and what you think they should do, and go ahead
Speaker 1: and rate us on our own advice. We'll take that
Speaker 1: as well.
Speaker 3: Don't rate me, I don't want, don't know, rate her
Speaker 3: if you want.
Speaker 2: I don't want. Later in the week we'll go through
Speaker 2: all of your comments.
Speaker 1: It's always fun to read what you have to say
Speaker 1: and what you think this woman should do. So let
Speaker 1: us know, and please again, check out the column. I
Speaker 1: think it drops around eight am Eastern time, so by
Speaker 1: the time y'all hear this, it should be up and running.
Speaker 1: And thank you for running with us.
