Speaker 1: twenty sixth. I'm Amy Robots.

4
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 2: And I'm TJ Holmes. And according to Robes here, you

5
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:17,279
Speaker 2: are in one of two categories today. You are either

6
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:21,400
Speaker 2: very excited you're not working today or you're piss that

7
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:22,720
Speaker 2: you're headed to work today.

8
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 1: Correct. I've been both on many occasions.

9
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 2: Oh that is true. But hey, whichever category you are in,

10
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 2: we're glad you're choosing to take a little bit of

11
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:33,880
Speaker 2: a run with us today and coming up on today's run. Yes,

12
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 2: it's Memorial Day. But if somebody asks you right now

13
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 2: tell me the history of Memorial Day, could you, well,

14
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 2: truth be told, we couldn't, But we are going to

15
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:48,479
Speaker 2: introduce you to or explain to you, maybe a tradition

16
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 2: that goes back one hundred years that maybe we all

17
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:53,319
Speaker 2: need to be brushing up on just a bit.

18
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I learned something. We hope you will too. Also

19
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 1: on the Run this morning, a disturbing story out of

20
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 1: Manhattan that sounds more like a horror movie than an

21
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 1: actual police report. Accusations of kidnapping and torture in a

22
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 1: luxury Soho apartment. Plus President Trump makes a big splash

23
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 1: and his commencement addressed to West Point graduates over the weekend,

24
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 1: telling cadets, among many other things, to avoid getting trophy wives.

25
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:23,960
Speaker 2: There was more to that one as well, but also

26
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 2: coming over with the run this morning, Team USA wins

27
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 2: a championship it hasn't won in ninety two years. Also

28

Speaker 2: a first at the ND five hundred on Sunday, A

29
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,319
Speaker 2: question for the winning driver whole milk or two percent?

30
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:39,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I needed some more explanation on that one. Will

31
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,559
Speaker 1: help you out with that. Plus a history making box

32
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:46,319

Speaker 1: and Mission Impossible Crush a twelve year box office record.

34
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 2: Also this morning, just in time for the unofficial start

35
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 2: to the summer, the annual list of the best beaches

36
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 2: in the United States. If I gave you a guess

37
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 2: of the give you three guesses of what state they

38
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 2: would be in, you would probably be wrong.

39
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 1: Still I was, but I was a little surprised by

40
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 1: this list. But we will share it with you coming up.

41
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 1: But we have to begin our morning run with the

42
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 1: day itself. Yes, it is Memorial Day and I even

43
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: asked you, TJ, can we say happy Memorial Day? Or

44
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:28,360
Speaker 1: is that not okay? We landed on that. It's probably

45
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 1: not okay.

46
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 2: It doesn't feel right to say that, Yes, you honor

47
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 2: folks on this day, but to say happy is I.

48
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 1: Don't know, it's weird, it feels strong, it feels strange.

49
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 2: There it is, that's the one. So, yes, today we

50
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 2: honor the men and women who have sacrificed who have

51
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:48,079
Speaker 2: served this country in uniform. But it's also become a

52
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 2: day for family, friends, neighbors to get together enjoy a

53
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 2: little time off together. It's also considered the unofficial start

54
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 2: of summer, and there are some barbecues out there, get

55
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 2: togethers all over the country. We have been in the

56
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 2: South often the weather hasn't been cooperating for a lot

57
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,359
Speaker 2: of outdoor activities. But yes, that's what the holiday has

58
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 2: become about.

59
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 1: Right. So it's been a day of course of honoring

60
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 1: but also celebrating. And that's why I ask can you

61
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:12,640
Speaker 1: say happy Memorial Day? Because there is a lot of

62
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 1: celebration that goes on. But we wanted to share with

63
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 1: you how the US Department of Veteran Affairs describes this day.

64
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: And how the tradition of Memorial Day began. Memorial Day is,

65
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,519
Speaker 1: of course, yes, a federal holiday held on the last

66
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: Monday in May to mourn and honor its deceased service

67
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 1: men and women. But it wasn't always called that, and

68
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 1: it wasn't always on a Monday.

69
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 2: Decoration Day is what it was originally called. It started

70
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 2: back in eighteen sixty eight, following the Civil War, when

71
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 2: communities would decorate soldiers graves with flowers in the springtime.

72
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 2: More than one hundred years, May thirtieth was designated as

73
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 2: decoration Day to ensure availability of the choicest flowers of

74
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 2: springtime all over the country.

75
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 1: That makes a lot of sense, yeah, But eventually, beginning

76
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 1: in nineteen seventy one, Memorial Day was called that and

77
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 1: moved from May thirtieth to the last Monday in May.

78
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 1: And I liked this. I didn't realize, but this is

79
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 1: what they describe. It calls on all Americans to quote

80
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: observed Memorial Day by praying according to their individual religious

81
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:25,600
Speaker 1: faith for permanent peace. That's cool. I didn't realize that

82
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 1: that is part of what Memorial Day is and what

83
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,840
Speaker 1: it asks of US citizens to do, not just to

84
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: honor those who have fallen, but to also pray for peace.

85
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 1: I didn't realize.

86
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 2: That, and everybody can be on board with that, so

87
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 2: I learned a lot.

88
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 1: I thought it was really cool.

89
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 2: But that's Memorial Day. Take that with you today, folks,

90
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 2: and school somebody if you will. But let's continue on

91
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 2: this morning's run in Manhattan, where police say a crypto

92
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 2: entrepreneur allegedly tortured an Italian tourist for more than two

93
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 2: weeks inside his luxure Soho apartment. That sentence alone is

94
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 2: mind bottling, But we're talking about thirty seven year old

95
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 2: John Waltz being held without bail on charges of kidnapping, assault,

96
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 2: and unlawful imprisonment.

97
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a real life story that is truly stranger

98
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 1: than fiction. And as Macab is any horror movie we've

99
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 1: ever seen, the details of what this tourist says happened

100
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,920
Speaker 1: to him are hard to take him. The alleged victim

101
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:28,919
Speaker 1: is twenty eight years old, and by the way, his

102
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:32,280
Speaker 1: name is being withheld from the public. This man told

103
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,719
Speaker 1: police he went to the home of the suspects and

104
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:38,040
Speaker 1: was then tortured by him and another person who has

105
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 1: not yet been apprehended.

106
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, Okay, the story continues here. The man

107
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:47,279
Speaker 2: says the to beat him, drugged him, used electric shock,

108
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 2: and hanged him off allege he somehow managed to escape

109
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:55,599
Speaker 2: ran to a traffic enforcement officer for help. Police showed

110
00:05:55,720 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 2: up to this eight bedroom luxury Soho apartment where he

111
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 2: said he was being held. They say they found multiple

112
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 2: polaroid pictures of the alleged victim being tied up and tortured. Yes,

113
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:09,719
Speaker 2: as you said off the top, this is a movie

114
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 2: we've seen somewhere.

115
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 1: This is insane. So the alleged victim told police this

116
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 1: all happened because he refused to give them his bitcoin password.

117
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 1: Police say they also found several torture devices inside the apartment,

118
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 1: including a saw, chicken wire, and night vision goggles, as

119
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 1: well as a gun and ammunition. I mean, this is

120
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,600
Speaker 1: a crazy story, and this man waltz. He was ordered

121
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,599
Speaker 1: to surrender his passport because prosecutor said, this guy has

122
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 1: the means to flee, including a private jet and a helicopter.

123
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,280
Speaker 1: So he had obviously an eight bedroom apartment and Soho.

124
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 1: I can't even imagine what that price tag was, So

125
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 1: that's why he is behind bars. His bail was too

126
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 1: high for him to get out. So yeah, he's not

127
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,160
Speaker 1: getting out anytime soon. But the details of this story

128
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:55,799
Speaker 1: are truly surreal.

129
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 2: Eight bedroom apartment you had.

130
00:06:58,360 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: Me, Yeah, exactly.

131
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 2: All right, let's continue on our run here on this

132
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 2: what is this?

133
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 1: This is a Monday morning, This is Momorial Day. It

134
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 1: doesn't feel like a Monday because it's a holiday. I

135
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 1: get it.

136
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 2: But we can see you on our run on this

137
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 2: Monday Memorial Day. Next leg takes us to West's Point,

138
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 2: where President Trump gave the commencement address to the US

139
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 2: Military Academy over the weekend. In a headline making speech. Now,

140
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 2: we are going to throughout this story. Now directly quote him.

141
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 2: We don't need to paraphrase. We don't mean to in

142
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 2: anyway try to explain his words. They speak for themselves,

143
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 2: because this is the stuff he actually told this graduating

144
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 2: class of cadets.

145
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 1: Yep. So first up, he advised graduates to avoid getting

146
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 1: a trophy wife. Trump was referring to a real estate

147
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 1: developer of his telling this to cadets. He ended up

148
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: getting a divorce, found a new wife. Could you say

149
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 1: trophy wife. I guess we can say trophy wife, but

150
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 1: that doesn't work out too well. I must tell you,

151
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 1: for a lot of trophy wives, it just doesn't work.

152
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 2: Okay. But is that good advice?

153
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 1: Okay? Is it relevant? Advice is maybe the more important question.

154
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 2: But maybe he's looking out at a group of individuals women,

155
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 2: men and women. But he's in that moment talking to

156
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 2: the men, assuming they're going to be really successful in

157
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 2: some way, form or fashion. And there he was good.

158
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 2: Could it be good advice?

159
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 1: I don't think that's what I'd want to hear in

160
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 1: my commencement address, just saying for myself or for my child.

161
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 2: I'm trying here. Trump also talked about his administration's end

162
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 2: of diversity, equity and inclusion programs, telling the graduating cadets

163
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,559
Speaker 2: and again, folks, everything is about to come out of

164
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:43,599
Speaker 2: my mouth is a direct quote from the President of

165
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 2: the United States. So and I quote. The job of

166
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 2: the US Armed Forces is not to host drag shows

167
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 2: to transform foreign cultures, but to spread democracy to everybody

168
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 2: around the world. At the point of a gun. The

169
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 2: military's job is to dominate any foe and annihilate any

170
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 2: threat to America, anywhere, anytime, in any place. End quote.

171
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 1: He does not mince his words. Trump went on to say, quote,

172
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,560
Speaker 1: there will be no more critical race theory or transgender

173
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 1: for everybody forced onto our brave men and women in uniform,

174
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,320
Speaker 1: or anybody else for that matter, in this country. End quote.

175
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 1: He also said he was investigated more than the great

176
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 1: late Is it ALFONSEA Capone? I was like al Capone Alfonso?

177
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 1: So yes, he was investigated more than the great late

178
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 1: Alfonso Capone. Trump wore his Make America Great Again hat

179
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 1: throughout the speech and took credit for making the military

180
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 1: better than ever before. And we should point out he

181
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 1: did draw a lot of applause from guests at times,

182
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 1: especially when he discussed the issue of transgender athletes playing

183
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:52,440
Speaker 1: in female sports and hiring on merit over diversity. So

184
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 1: we got a lot of applause for some of those comments.

185
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:55,840
Speaker 2: Did he really say late great?

186
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,439
Speaker 1: He said great? Late? Yes, he said great?

187
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 2: Was in there, great alfans Capam?

188
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 1: Yes he said great, he said great.

189
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 2: The great late. I mean he among gangsters. I guess

190
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 2: he could be great. Yes, he could be a great

191
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:09,839
Speaker 2: bad guy. So maybe he was saying that.

192
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 1: He was a great bad guy. I guess.

193
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 2: All right, folks, stay with us on this Monday Memorial Day, run.

194
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:19,839
Speaker 2: When we continue. They have been doing the Indianapolis five

195
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 2: hundred for over one hundred years, and yesterday something happened

196
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 2: there that's never happened before. Also, coming up, you didn't

197
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 2: know something was going on, but Team USA did something

198
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:35,200
Speaker 2: that hasn't done in ninety two years. You weren't even

199
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 2: paying attention. And finally, oh, the big Memorial Day box office.

200
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 2: The numbers are in and an alien is ruling the

201
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 2: box office. Let's continue on this Monday Memorial Day run

202
00:10:56,800 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 2: and the next leg takes us to Indianapolis, where they

203
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 2: had the Indy five hundred, the one hundred and ninth

204
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 2: Indy five hundred. They've run this race robes more than

205
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 2: one hundred years, but yesterday experienced that first when Alex

206
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 2: Poalow became the first Spaniard to ever win the race.

207
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 1: Polo has been the most dominant driver in the sport

208
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:22,720
Speaker 1: the past several years, winning three IndyCar season titles, but

209
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 1: he never actually won the Indianapolis five hundred until yesterday

210
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,479
Speaker 1: and him winning and his crew coming on to it,

211
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 1: it was really you. I saw you laughing and smiling.

212
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 1: I said, what are you looking at? And you showed

213
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 1: me and it was such a cool moment to see

214
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 1: that excitement happened with his victory.

215
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 2: I didn't know you weren't aware of the tradition indy

216
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 2: five hundred. The winner goes to the winner circle and

217
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 2: they drink milk. They always drink milk.

218
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 1: And I was like, the race, yes, And you said,

219
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 1: how did you not know that? Then you showed me

220
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 1: all the different images of all the people winning and

221
00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:00,040
Speaker 1: drinking milk, And now I have been schooled. Okay, And

222
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 1: what about.

223
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 2: The milk tradition goes back to nineteen thirty six. A

224
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 2: guy just happened to be photographed. He won the race,

225
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 2: he was exhausted, somebody handled the milk. It was his

226
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 2: drink of choice. But it wasn't until some years later

227
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:15,080
Speaker 2: some milk executives smart found that picture and then he

228
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:20,319
Speaker 2: insisted that every winner from then on be giving milk afterwards.

229
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 2: So now it's a thing. Every single driver, all thirty

230
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 2: three were asked ahead of time, what is your preference

231
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 2: whole milk or two percent? Now, what would you guess

232
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 2: most milk drinkers would choose whole milk? Really? Wow?

233
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,079
Speaker 1: Yeah? Right? Absolutely?

234
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 2: Most deal if they absolutely Most of them were talking

235
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 2: seventy percent, choose whole milk, and what if you don't.

236
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,680
Speaker 1: Like milk, you go with it. You just want to

237
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 1: suck it off.

238
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 2: Oh they've been doing this one hundred years and you're.

239
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 1: Like nah, And I like me, can I get half

240
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 1: in half? Oh? Maybe like cream full cream? I prefer that.

241
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:55,439
Speaker 2: See, this is what I don't like to watch.

242
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 1: Stories with you. Oh, I always pay attention to things

243
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,320
Speaker 1: that other than win or anything like that. All right,

244
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 1: next up on our run, speaking of sports, maybe you

245
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 1: didn't even realize me that the World Hockey Championships have

246
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 1: even been going on in Stockholm, Sweden. Yes, I did

247
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 1: not know that. What is that the World Hockey Championships. Okay,

248
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 1: it's in an annual international hockey tournament among hockey nations.

249
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 2: It's a big deal, okay, right, Every single year they

250
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 2: have this, the World Championship. So the United States, however,

251
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 2: has not won this thing since nineteen thirty three. Until yesterday,

252
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 2: the US defeated Switzerland one oh in overtime to win

253
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 2: its first World Championship in ninety two years. In fact, Robes,

254
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 2: they haven't even been in the finals since nineteen thirty four.

255
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 2: Just want to give them a moment and give them

256
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,080
Speaker 2: some love. I know a lot of us were not

257
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:51,839
Speaker 2: keeping an eye on it, and even me as a

258
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 2: sports guy, I wasn't keeping a close eye on what

259
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:57,560
Speaker 2: was going on. But congratulations to that team we're doing. Look,

260
00:13:57,600 --> 00:13:59,720

Speaker 2: Finlands and so on and so forth.

263
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 1: But this was great for the countries that have a

264
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 1: lot more ice than we do. That's what I feel

265
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:13,440
Speaker 1: like you just named. But yes, cold places, congratulations to

266

271
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,040

272
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 2: to see. But yes, Disney's remake of Lelo and Stitch

273
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:38,680

00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 2: It's right behind leelew and Stitch. Of course you've been

277
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 2: seeing some issue Impossible you can miss. It has been

278
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 2: promoted like crazy, but it made seventy seven million dollars

279
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 2: in the US and one hundred nine million dollars world wide.

280
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:05,640

00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 1: this weekend the biggest Memorial Day weekend of all time.

282

00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 1: out this weekend. Centers is still in the top five.

285
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 1: That's incredible. The previous biggest Memorial Day weekend, by the way,

286
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 1: was all the way back in twenty thirteen with Fast

287
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 1: and Furious six and they Hangover Part three. It was

288
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 1: like a big sequel weekend. But yeah, that was the

289
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 1: last time. That was the number they beat, and they

290
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 1: beat it handily, by the way.

291
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 2: That is Leilo and Stitch. I didn't expect. I thought

292
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 2: we're gonna do find it.

293
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 1: No one did.

294
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 2: Disney was smarter, they say. I was surprised to see

295
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 2: so much of their merchandise that has been sold over

296
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 2: the past several years. They recognize Leland and Stitch merchandise

297
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 2: has been selling like crazy.

298
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 1: So they figure there's a market for it, and they.

299
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 2: Put this out there and they did a good job

300
00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:59,680

00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:17,200

307
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 2: That's on me, y'all. I completely skipped over this last story,

308
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 2: which is, yes about the best beaches in the US.

309
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 2: Some of you might be listening to us on the

310
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 2: beach as we speak. So the best beaches in the US,

311
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:30,200

00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 2: your first three guesses, where are they? You're going to

313
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 2: probably say Florida, Florida, California say California, and Hawaii say Hawaii.

314
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 2: The best beach in the US is not in any

315
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 2: of those places.

316
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 1: According to someone, this is an annual list that's been

317
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 1: put out by a guy who goes by the name

318
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 1: of doctor Beach, a professor at Florida International University and

319
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 1: a coastal scientist. So I guess this is somewhat legit.

320
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 1: I take issue with a couple of these things. But okay,

321
00:16:55,800 --> 00:17:01,479
Speaker 1: So the best beach in the country Cooper's Beach in Southampton.

322
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 2: New York. Well do you take issue with that?

323
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 1: Yes, I've been there. It's lovely. Yes, I just feel like,

324
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 1: how does that compete with some California and some Hawaiian beaches?

325
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 2: But okay, he has an extensive list of criterion things

326
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 2: he considers, but this beach has been making his way

327
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 2: up the charts, if you will, of his charts. It

328
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 2: was number three and twenty twenty three, and then number

329
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:23,159
Speaker 2: two last year. So here it is. It's on the

330
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:25,920
Speaker 2: south shore of Long Island, New York. It's described as

331
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:29,440
Speaker 2: and I quote, hundreds of yards wide, made of grainy

332
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:33,639
Speaker 2: white quartz sand and backed by large sand dunes covered

333
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 2: by American beach grass interspersed with extravagant mansions.

334
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 1: That is true, That is an accurate description. I've had

335
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 1: a couple lovely bonfires on that beach, so it's pretty.

336
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:48,640
Speaker 1: But okay, after Cooper's Beach number two on the list

337
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 1: is I'm going to have a hard time saying all

338
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 1: of these Wala Beach in Maui. I'm sure that's I've

339
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 1: never been there, but I'm sure it's gorgeous. Number three

340
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 1: is Poi Poo Poypoo Beach, and I really want to

341
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 1: go to Kawai. I've never been there. Number four on

342
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,879
Speaker 1: the list is del Nor Wiggins Pass State Park in Naples, Florida.

343
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 1: Naples is gorgeous. Number five is, well, we're back in

344
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 1: New York Maine beach in East Hampton. I'm seeing a

345
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 1: like skewing to the East coast. Yeah, I'm just saying.

346
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 2: Maybe those beaches are just stepped their game up. But

347
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 2: rounding out the top five is actually a beach. Do

348
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:28,120
Speaker 2: you know this one? South Carolina beach?

349
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 1: It ki Island. It's gorgeous, Yes, in South Carolina.

350
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:35,200
Speaker 2: Gives another one in Florida, Hawaii, Hawaii, and then one.

351
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 1: Okay, so again East coast. There's no California beaches on.

352
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 2: This East Coast bias.

353
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 1: It's a wild thing not to include some of those gorgeous,

354
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:47,159
Speaker 1: gorgeous beaches that you you lived in San Francisco, you

355
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 1: know the Catalune Bay, Laguna Beach.

356
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 2: It seems wild that coastal treasure of ours doesn't have

357
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 2: a beach that's one of the best.

358
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:59,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, well that is according to doctor Beach.

359
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 1: So y'all can debate that how you like. But as

360
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 1: you go about your day on this Memorial Day, we

361
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,399
Speaker 1: have something you'd like to consider. And this is in

362
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 1: honor of where we have spent our Memorial Day weekend.

363
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 1: So TJ, would you like to read the quote of

364
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 1: the day.

365
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 2: You only passed through this life once. You don't come

366
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:23,159
Speaker 2: back for an encore. That, folks were spoken from the

367
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 2: guy who once he left, he was gone. There was

368
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 2: no encore. Elvis Presley has left the building, has left

369
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 2: els has left the building. Yes, I don't know where

370
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 2: you doug this or not, but yes, as we record this,

371
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:39,639
Speaker 2: we are literally sitting in the Peabody Hotel, the historic

372
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 2: Peabody Hotel in downtown Memphis. This is an area, of course,

373
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:46,679
Speaker 2: where I did all my growing up. So good to

374
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 2: have you home.

375
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:51,359
Speaker 1: Yes, and it was lovely to visit. I have fallen

376
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:54,159
Speaker 1: in love with Memphis oddly throughout I've been to all

377
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 1: fifty states, but I had never been to Memphis, and

378
00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 1: so this was so cool. This is your hometown, West

379
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:02,879
Speaker 1: MEMPHISI is specifically, but it's about ten minutes over the

380
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:06,400
Speaker 1: river and anyway, it's been beautiful here and I just thought,

381
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 1: you know, the Elvis is everywhere. If you come to Memphis,

382
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:11,919
Speaker 1: you know that. But I loved this quote and so

383
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:13,720
Speaker 1: we'll share it with you one more time as you

384
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 1: make your way on your Memorial Day. You only pass

385
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:20,479
Speaker 1: through this life once. You don't come back for an encore.

386
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 1: Hope you make this day count. Thanks for running with us,
