1
00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:06,000
Speaker 1: Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast. Good

2
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:10,880
Speaker 1: morning everyone, and welcome to this Friday edition of Morning Run.

3
00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:14,200
Speaker 1: It is Friday, April twenty fifth. Thank goodness.

4
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:17,240
Speaker 2: I'm Ae Robots and I'm TJ. Holmes, and we are

5
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 2: in different places today. I am, for whatever reason, bouncing

6
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:24,120
Speaker 2: off the walls. You not so much. This is We're

7
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 2: wrapping up a long week.

8
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 1: I'm scraping myself off the floor.

9
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 2: It's okay to be that headway. But well, yes, wherever

10
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 2: you are, hope you are having a good start to

11
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:36,479
Speaker 2: your Friday and on our run today. Saint Peter's was

12
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 2: open late once again last night to accommodate thousands paying

13
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:43,559
Speaker 2: their respects to Pope Francis. Now, final preparations are underway

14
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 2: for tomorrow's funeral. President Trump and former President Biden are

15
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 2: both reportedly heading the.

16
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:53,560
Speaker 1: Wrong President Trump takes on Putin in a social media post,

17
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 1: telling him to stop attacking Ukraine as he grows increasingly

18
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:00,639
Speaker 1: frustrated at the failed attempts for a peace deal, and

19
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:04,839
Speaker 1: in a confusing back and forth, it remains unclear whether

20
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 1: the US and China are actually negotiating an end to

21
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:11,320
Speaker 1: the trade war. Trump says they are China, says nah Uh.

22
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 2: Also this morning, President Trump has made an emergency appeal

23
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 2: to the Supreme Court to ban a specific group of

24
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 2: people from serving in the US military immediately. Also, a

25
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 2: brand new bright red Trump hat is available for order

26
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 2: online now. It has a new message on the front

27
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 2: that's raising a lot of eyebrows.

28
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 1: Plus, NFL Hall of Famer Shannon Sharp has announced he

29
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 1: is voluntarily stepping away from his ESPN hosting duties following

30
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,960
Speaker 1: that fifty million dollars sexual assault lawsuit against him.

31
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 2: Also on this morning's Ron, what a night one of

32
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 2: the NFL draft, and the most talked about player is

33
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 2: the one who wasn't drafted. Also, a Kobe Bryant jersey

34
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 2: set a record at auction. It's special not just because

35
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 2: he wore it, but because of exactly when he wore it.

36
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 1: And to that, yeah, a record at auction, it was

37
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 1: quite the price. Tag. Can't wait to share it with everyone.

38
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 1: But we do begin our run in Rome, where the

39
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,959
Speaker 1: Vatican says more than one hundred and twenty eight thousand

40
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 1: people have already passed by Pope Francis's casket. They kept

41
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 1: the doors open to Saint Peter's Basilica overnight until two

42
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 1: thirty am Local time, and then reopened about three hours

43
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 1: later at five thirty.

44
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's been a steady stream of visitors waiting for

45
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,679
Speaker 2: hours to pay their respects to the Pope. Pope France's

46
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 2: body will continue to lie and stay throughout the day

47
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:34,639
Speaker 2: today until late tonight. Initially the Vatican had official hours

48
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 2: for viewing, but each night they've extended those hours significantly

49
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 2: to make sure everybody who was in line had the

50
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 2: opportunity to see the Pope's open casket.

51
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: It's pretty cool that they've been doing that, and so

52
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: with that in mind, it remains to be seen when

53
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 1: they'll actually close the doors to the Basilica tonight. It

54
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,359
Speaker 1: was supposed to be at seven pm Local time, as

55
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: preparations are underway for the Pope's funeral tomorrow morning. That

56
00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 1: will happen at ten am in Rome. At Rome in

57
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,799
Speaker 1: Rome time, sorry, four am Eastern time. It all happens

58
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 1: in Saint Peter's Square. So far, one hundred and thirty

59
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 1: foreign delegations have confirmed they will attend the funeral. That

60
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:13,279
Speaker 1: includes fifty heads of state and ten reigning sovereigns.

61
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 2: Yes, and it looks like President Trump and First Lady Milania,

62
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,239
Speaker 2: who already previously announced they'd be going. They're going to

63
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 2: have some company in Rome. CBS News reporting former President

64
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:26,920
Speaker 2: Joe Biden also plans on attending the Pope's funeral. Others

65
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 2: of note Prince William going to be there as well

66
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 2: as President Zelenski. We did get official word that President

67
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 2: Putin of Russia is not going to be attending. In total,

68
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 2: the Vatican expects more than two hundred thousand people to attend.

69
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 2: The funeral officially begins nine days of morning prayers and

70
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 2: remembrance for Pope Francis. Do I have right? Local time?

71
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 2: Is what? For the funeral?

72
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 1: Beginning ten am Local time? That means four am Eastern time,

73
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 1: which means we still have to go to bed early tonight.

74
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 2: Yes, this is something the world wants to see. This

75
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 2: is one of those rare events that everybody is going

76
00:03:58,200 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 2: to watch, and certainly it's worth getting up.

77
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 1: Yes, and we will be doing that all right. Next

78
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 1: up on the Run. After slamming President Putin in a

79
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: truth social post, President Trump softened his approach later in

80
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 1: the day, now saying he thinks Putin is serious about

81
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:16,720
Speaker 1: a peace deal with Ukraine. Russia attacked Kiev on Thursday,

82
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 1: in the deadliest attack since last July, killing at least

83
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: twelve and wounding ninety others. Yeah.

84
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 2: President Trump posted a strong language against Putin, initially writing

85
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,919
Speaker 2: I am not happy with the Russian strikes on Kiev.

86
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 2: Not necessary and very bad timing. Vladimir stop. Five hundred

87
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:35,840
Speaker 2: soldiers a week are dying. Let's get the peace deal

88
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 2: done now. It's not unusual for President Trump to use

89
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,280
Speaker 2: that kind of strong language against world leaders, against anybody

90
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,840
Speaker 2: he wants to. For that matter, he hasn't gone this

91
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:49,599
Speaker 2: far necessarily in criticizing Putin. Instead, he's mostly pointing his

92
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 2: finger at Ukraine President Zelensky, calling him a dictator and

93
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,279
Speaker 2: the reason that there isn't a deal done yet.

94
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,919
Speaker 1: So far, there hasn't been a response from Putin. But

95
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,279
Speaker 1: when asked if he thought Putin would listen to his

96
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 1: post to stop striking Kiev, Trump said I do. And

97
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 1: he also told reporters yesterday that both sides want peace,

98
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: but that he has his own deadline for Putin and

99
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: Zelensky to come to an agreement, and he says he

100
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 1: wants it to be fast.

101
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 2: Yeah. The administration, including Executor of State Marco Rubio have

102
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 2: all said that Trump may walk away from the negotiations

103
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 2: if the two sides can't come to an agreement and soon,

104
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 2: the President saying this in the Oval Office yesterday. This

105
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 2: isn't my war, It's.

106
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 1: Biden's war, all right, next up on the run. It

107
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:36,040
Speaker 1: is a bizarre international back and forth of yes, we did, no,

108
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 1: we didn't, and who knows what really is going on

109
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 1: between the US and China. We certainly don't. Trump told

110
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: reporters in the Oval Office that US officials met with

111
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 1: Chinese officials on Thursday morning to discuss the escalating trade war,

112
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 1: after China emphatically denied that the two countries have not

113
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:57,920
Speaker 1: met or discussed tariffs.

114
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 2: Okay, So to be sure, there two sides are saying

115
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,280
Speaker 2: the exact opposite things, saying a meeting has happened and

116
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,840
Speaker 2: we discussed tariffs, the other saying absolutely not correct. That's fair, okay.

117
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:11,719
Speaker 2: So this is from the Chinese Foreign Minister saying that

118
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 2: China and the US had not conducted consultations or negotiations

119
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 2: on tariffs, let alone reach an agreement, adding that the

120
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:24,039
Speaker 2: reports to the contrary were false. China has called on

121
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 2: Trump to cancel its tariffs on Chinese goods to show

122
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 2: that he's serious about ending the trade war, saying the

123
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 2: person who tied the bell must untie it. Some are

124
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:36,160
Speaker 2: familiar with that phrase, some are not. I wasn't necessarily,

125
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 2: but it essentially means, hey, you started it, you need

126
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:38,359
Speaker 2: to finish it.

127
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 1: You went on a deep dive this morning. You said, wait,

128
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:42,920
Speaker 1: what did they say? And what does that mean? It's

129
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 1: a Chinese proverb. Correct.

130
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 2: Some places do say that you don't see a lot

131
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 2: about it, but one explanation was yes, in fact, so

132
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 2: we don't say that necessarily here a lot.

133
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, because I don't even know what tying a bell means.

134
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 1: But anyway, apparently yes, the meaning is understood. China even

135
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:01,280
Speaker 1: sent back Boeing planes this week that it ordered from

136
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:04,279
Speaker 1: the US in retaliation for Trump's tariffs. That didn't make

137
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 1: Trump too happy.

138
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,040
Speaker 2: I didn't know you could. You can return a lot

139
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 2: of stuff. I didn't think you can return.

140
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 1: The plane planes plural. While Trump has said his Chinese

141
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 1: tariffs would come down significantly, he did make this clear.

142
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 1: He said they won't be at zero and right now.

143
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 1: Just to be clear, if you needed a reminder, Trump

144
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 1: has a one hundred and forty five percent tariff on

145
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 1: all Chinese imports. China has a one hundred and twenty

146
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 1: five percent tariff on all American goods. This is unsustainable.

147
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 1: Clearly something has to happen. When and how and if

148
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 1: anything has happened already remains to be seen.

149
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 2: All Right, we'll keep running on this Ririday morning. The

150
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 2: next leg takes us to the steps of the Supreme Court,

151
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 2: where President Trump has made an emergency appeal to the justices.

152
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 2: So what's the emergency. He wants to immediately start banning

153
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 2: transgender people from serving in the military.

154
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 1: You might remember the President signed in executive order his

155
00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 1: first week in office that bars trans troops from serving.

156
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 1: But the order has not held up in several legal

157
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 1: challenges in lower courts, so the ban has remained on hold. Well,

158
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 1: now the President is hoping for better luck with the

159
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 1: Supreme Court and has asked the justices to allow the

160
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 1: band to immediately take effect.

161
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, transgender soldiers have been openly serving in the military

162
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 2: under policy changes made by President Obama in twenty sixteen.

163
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 2: According to the Military, in case you were wondering, there

164
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 2: are forty two hundred trans members of the military. That

165
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 2: represents about zero point two percent of all service members.

166
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 1: All right, next up on our run, there is a

167
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:37,559
Speaker 1: new red hat being sold on Trump store dot com.

168
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 1: It looks like the make America Great Again hats that

169
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 1: have been a staple of the Trump campaign for years now.

170
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, but this hat has a different message. On the front.

171
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:51,719
Speaker 2: It says Trump twenty twenty eight. And that raised a

172
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 2: few eyebrows, especially since the president has recently suggested he

173
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:56,839
Speaker 2: might find a way to run for a.

174
00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: Third term recently and repeatedly. I believe it's being sold

175
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: for fifty bucks and it's the first item listed in

176
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 1: the hats section of the website, which is the official

177
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 1: store of the Trump organization. The description of the item reads,

178
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 1: the future looks bright, rewrite the rules with the Trump

179
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,960
Speaker 1: twenty twenty eight high crown hat fully embroidered with a

180
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 1: snap closure in the back. This will become your new

181
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 1: go to hat.

182
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 2: Look, I copy it and paste exactly what it says

183
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 2: right there. So, by the way, Jen, this happened. No,

184
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 2: the Constitution is pretty explicit about this. Nobody can seek

185
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 2: a third term. The language no person shall be elected

186
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 2: to the office of the President more than once twenty.

187
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 1: Second more than twice you mean, excuse me more than twice.

188
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 2: Excuse me, Wow, I said you were the tired one.

189
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 2: But Trump again, like you said, he has mentioned this repeatedly,

190
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 2: but he won't completely rule it out every time he

191
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:54,320
Speaker 2: gets asked about it, so it keeps raising eyebrows. He

192
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 2: came up with a couple of scenarios. I think you

193
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:57,440
Speaker 2: were the one that first brought us in my attention.

194
00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 2: But there's a way for him to do this, but

195
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,959
Speaker 2: it would require hire him to run as vice president

196
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,679
Speaker 2: with Jadie Vance and then they do a switcher root

197
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 2: that's not supposed to happen either a continent to the Constitution.

198
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,559
Speaker 2: But it was just the hats are interesting. They're being

199
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 2: sold in. One of his sons is helping to promote it,

200
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 2: has has it on in advertising.

201
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 1: How old will Trump be in twenty twenty eight?

202
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 2: Too old to be president?

203
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 1: Eighty eighty eight?

204
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:24,680
Speaker 2: Three's for another term?

205
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,079
Speaker 1: Yeah, there are there are a lot of obstacles on

206
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:28,439
Speaker 1: that path to a third term.

207
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 2: I would say, let's stay with it here, folks, on

208
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,320
Speaker 2: this Friday morning run, when we come back, when we

209
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 2: talk about what happened at night one of the NFL

210
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 2: Draft and the guy everybody's talking about didn't even get drafted. Also,

211
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 2: one of the most expensive jerseys ever sold at auction.

212
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 2: It belonged to Kobe but the key is exactly when

213
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 2: he wore.

214
00:10:50,160 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 1: Stay with us, Welcome back to this Friday morning run

215
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:04,080
Speaker 1: and next up on the Run. NFL Hall of Famer

216
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:07,959
Speaker 1: and ESPN host Shannon Sharp is off the air at

217
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 1: ESPN for now after that fifty million dollars sexual assault

218
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 1: lawsuit was filed against him.

219
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 2: Sharp is a regular on the network's First Take program.

220
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 2: He announced yesterday that he was electing to step aside

221
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:24,200
Speaker 2: from his ESPN duties, saying in a statement, I will

222
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 2: be devoting this time to my family and responding and

223
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 2: dealing with these false and disruptive allegations set against me.

224
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 2: I sincerely appreciate the overwhelming and ongoing support I have

225
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 2: received from my family, friends, and colleagues.

226
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 1: Sharp remained on the air this week, and it was

227
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 1: business as usual after news of the lawsuit, which he

228
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:45,559
Speaker 1: called blatant c a blatant, cynical attempt to shake him

229
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 1: down for millions of dollars. A woman only identified as

230
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 1: Jane Doe filed the suit in Nevada, claiming Sharp raped

231
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 1: her on two occasions, was abusive and even threatened to

232
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 1: kill her during what she calls a rocky, consensual two

233
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 1: year relationship. She claimed she met the former All Pro

234
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 1: tight end at a gym in twenty twenty three, when

235
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:08,200
Speaker 1: she was nineteen and he was fifty four.

236
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 2: So since the initial word of a lawsuit came out

237
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 2: earlier this week, there's been now a trickle of details

238
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:15,439
Speaker 2: to continue to come out. A lot of it is

239
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 2: quite disturbing that have added to this story. Maybe they

240
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 2: had more to do with why he decided after a

241
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:22,680
Speaker 2: few days toy, Hey, I need to get off the

242
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:25,959
Speaker 2: air now. Shannon Sharp is absolutely one of the best

243
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:27,719
Speaker 2: to ever play at that position at tight end. He

244
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 2: won three Super Bowls. When he retired, he was the

245
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 2: all time leader in catches, yards and touchdowns for tight ends.

246
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, and he has since then put together an impressive

247
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 1: media career. In addition to his ESPN role, he hosts

248
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 1: the Shaysha Club podcast. Sharp says he does plan to

249
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 1: return to ESPN at the start of the NFL preseason,

250
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 1: which begins on July thirty first.

251
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 2: We will continue now on this Friday morning. Ron The

252
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 2: next leg takes us to Green Bay, Wisconsin, where the

253
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:59,200
Speaker 2: most talked about player prior to last night's NFL Draft,

254
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 2: was still the most talked about player on Night one

255
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 2: of the NFL Draft because he wasn't even drafted. We're

256
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 2: talking about Colorado's star quarterback Shador Sanders. He did not

257
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 2: hear his name called in round one of the draft,

258
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 2: which started yes last night in Green Bay.

259
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 1: And that was a shocker to some. Sanders has been

260
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 1: a standout the past couple of years at Colorado, where

261
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:23,960
Speaker 1: he played for his dad, Hall of Famer and Dion Sanders.

262
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:27,199
Speaker 1: Sanders sliding out of the first round wasn't a shocker

263
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 1: if you listen to some draft analysts who said, though

264
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 1: he's good, he's not a first round elite quarterback.

265
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 2: He is, though a polarizing figure. He's a social media star.

266
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:42,199
Speaker 2: He's raked in endorsement deals, He's shown up in national commercials.

267
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 2: He's also just a confident dude, has the big personality,

268
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:50,560
Speaker 2: possesses some of that signature Dion Sanders swag, and frankly,

269
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 2: some people don't like that. In the last couple of days,

270
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:56,320
Speaker 2: some anonymous sources people don't want to put their name

271
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 2: to some of the negative comments. They're talking about his

272
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,560
Speaker 2: attitude and things like that. Wonder if that had any impact.

273
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:04,199
Speaker 2: We don't know. We'll see where he might be drafted.

274
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:06,440
Speaker 2: Of course, it's seven rounds. That was just round one.

275
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:08,319
Speaker 2: We'll see if he get picked up today when the

276
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 2: second round gets underway tonight.

277
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 1: As for last night, as was expected, quarterback cam Ward

278
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 1: of Miami went number one overall to the Tennessee Titans

279
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 1: and then two way. Colorado's star and Heisman Trophy winner

280
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 1: Travis Hunter was taken by the Jacksonville Jaguars and he

281
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 1: danced his way all the way to the stage. That

282
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 1: was the bright pink. Yeah, that was really fun. His

283
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 1: suit was like a was it like a silky hot pink.

284
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 2: It was a hot pink. He wore all black, but

285
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 2: it was double breasted, had a few details on it,

286
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 2: but that was He has a big personality. He's been

287
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 2: great for college football. But he just he got up

288
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 2: and it was a long walk they had to get

289
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 2: to the stage. He danced and played and enjoyed it

290
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 2: was That was just pure joy and I love seeing that.

291
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 1: Yes, there was a real warmth. You're rooting for him,

292
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 1: you know as he walked up.

293
00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 2: All right, we got the final leg of our Friday

294
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 2: Morning run Now and a Kobe Bryant jersey just sold

295
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 2: at auction for seven million dollars. That's the most expensive

296
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 2: piece of Kobe memorabilia ever sold. It's also the second

297
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 2: most expensive NBA jersey ever sold.

298
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 1: So what makes this Kobe jersey so special? Well, it

299
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 1: is the first one he ever wore in his NBA career.

300
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 1: It's from his nineteen ninety six rookie season. He had

301
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 1: it on for his preseason debut as well as his

302
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 1: first regular season game action on November three of nineteen ninety.

303
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 2: Six, Kobe Bryant's first game ever that he got into

304
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 2: as a pro. This was his stat line, zero points.

305
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 2: He missed the only shot he took, so he was

306
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 2: zero for one. He had one rebound and one blocked shot.

307
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 2: That's amazing, right, We always think what you think of

308
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 2: him as a Hall of Fame and all these things.

309
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 2: We all struggled when we started out at something, including

310
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 2: him who went on to be a Hall of Famer

311
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 2: and win five championships. Championships we mentioned. It's the second

312
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 2: most expensive NBA jersey. The most expensive, no surprise, belonged

313
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 2: to Michael Jordan. It was a jersey he wore in

314
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 2: his final Championship series that last dance when he won

315
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 2: his final championship. A previous Kobe jersey sold for five

316
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 2: point eight million dollars. And this was just for U

317
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 2: Robes a fun fact, what was the most expensive sports

318
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 2: jersey ever sold?

319
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 1: My jaws dropped because I see you have it written here.

320
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 2: It was Babe Ruth twenty four million dollars.

321
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 1: Twenty four million dollars for a jersey.

322
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 2: And some people will think, well, why if you don't know,

323
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 2: You might not know a lot about Babe Ruth, but

324
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 2: a lot of people know the game he called his shot.

325
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 2: He pointed before the pitcher let the ball go. He

326
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 2: pointed and said, I'm about to hit a home run

327
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 2: that game. It's that jersey. Twenty four million.

328
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 1: Woo.

329
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 2: That is just that's sports mind blowing another level. All right.

330
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 2: So before we leave you folks on this Friday, something

331
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 2: we would like for you to consider. It's our quote

332
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 2: of the day. Yeah.

333
00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 1: I picked this one as we're heading into the weekend

334
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 1: because people may plans and you know, just trying to

335
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 1: figure out what they're gonna do. So I loved this

336
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:08,160
Speaker 1: quote is from Tony Robbins. Life is about the moments.

337
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 1: Don't wait for them, create them right now. And I

338
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:15,399
Speaker 1: was feeling a little unmotivated today. You actually asked me

339
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 1: when we woke up what our plans were or what

340
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:20,919
Speaker 1: my plans were for that usually it's just our plans,

341
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:24,400
Speaker 1: and I kind of just like, I don't even think

342
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 1: I said a word. It was nonsensical. So this one

343
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:30,159
Speaker 1: spoke to me. It's just a reminder, even when you're

344
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 1: feeling maybe unmotivated or a little tired, you know what

345
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 1: life is about, the moments. Don't wait for them, create them.

346
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 2: Create some then roads because I don't know, I'm bouncing

347
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 2: off the walls, not quite there yet. That's okay, that

348
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:48,679
Speaker 2: is okay. I've had music on. Yes, folks, here you go.
