1
00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:05,720
Speaker 1: Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast. Good

2
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:09,680
Speaker 1: morning everyone, It's Monday, February twenty fourth. Welcome to your

3
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:11,920
Speaker 1: Morning Run. I'm Amy Robots and I'm TJ.

4
00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:15,360
Speaker 2: Holmes and on the run today. Another update from the

5
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 2: Vatican this morning that wasn't much of an update at all.

6
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 2: The world watches, waits and praise as Pope Francis remains

7
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:24,079
Speaker 2: in critical condition.

8
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 1: Also this morning, Israel makes a new demand and tells

9
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:32,280
Speaker 1: Hamas enough with the humiliating hostage handover ceremonies. Plus, President

10
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 1: Trump goes on a firing spree of top military leaders.

11
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 2: Also on the run this morning, airline passengers get an

12
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:43,199
Speaker 2: unexpected Fighter jet escort, a couple of unexpected wins at

13
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 2: the SAG Awards, just upended the Oscars race, and an

14
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:51,159
Speaker 2: unexpected and stunning announcement that will quite literally change the

15
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 2: face of the New York Yankees. All that ahead on

16
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 2: a Monday Morning Run. You're laughing because that story you

17
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 2: didn't quite get. But it is a big deal in

18
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 2: the sports world, that's right.

19
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 1: And when you change the face of someone something that's

20
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:08,479
Speaker 1: usually figurative, you're actually using that phrase in a literal.

21
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 2: Quite lately, the face of the Yankees is about to change.

22
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 2: All right.

23
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 1: We'll get into all of that in just a moment,

24
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 1: but we have to begin our run on this Monday

25
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 1: morning in Rome, where Pope Francis is spending an eleventh

26
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 1: day in the hospital amid growing concerns around the world,

27
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 1: and again the world received a one line update from

28
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:28,639
Speaker 1: the Vatican today.

29
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:33,199
Speaker 2: That one line was, and I quote, the night passed well.

30
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 2: The Pope slept and is resting. That's all we got, folks. Sunday,

31
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:40,959
Speaker 2: the Vatican acknowledged that the Pope remained in critical condition,

32
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 2: with blood tests revealing early kidney failure. The Vatican said

33
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 2: he hasn't had any more respiratory issues since Saturday night,

34
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 2: but the Pope was still receiving high flows of supplemental oxygen.

35
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: The Pope's doctors said that his prognosis remains guarded. Meantime,

36
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 1: here in New York City, Cardinal Timothy Dolan was a

37
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 1: little more frank in his assessment of the pope situation.

38
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 1: The ap put it this way. I loved how they

39
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 1: put this. Dolan admitted what church leaders in Rome weren't

40
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 1: saying publicly, that the Catholic faithful were united at the

41
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 1: bedside of a dying father.

42
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 2: And Dolan went father and his homily at Saint Patrick's Cathedral.

43
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 2: That quote, our Holy Father, Pope Francis is in very,

44
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 2: very fragile health and probably close to death. Those were

45
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,359
Speaker 2: Dolan's words. Colonel Dolan later told reporters that he hoped

46
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 2: and prayed Pope Francis would bounce back, is what he said.

47
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 2: But robes, they haven't been given as much we've been

48
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 2: talking about these updates, maybe because they don't have much

49
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 2: to tell us at this point and they've kept it

50
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 2: at the most basic of levels.

51
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,359
Speaker 1: Yes, the last two updates have just said that he

52
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 1: slept well and that was it. Earlier we were getting

53
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 1: reports that he was getting up, that he was having breakfast,

54
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 1: that he left his bed and sat in his armchair

55
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: and worked with some of his aides. That all has

56
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 1: not been included in what they've done described the Pope's

57
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 1: day or night to be like, and so that's also

58
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 1: of concern. But clearly doctors have weighed in on this.

59
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 1: Anytime an eighty eight year old man is starting, even

60
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 1: if it is slight kidney failure, which is how the

61
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 1: Vatican put it, that is not a good sign, and

62
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,920
Speaker 1: a lot of folks are waiting for word of his death.

63
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 1: At this point, they've.

64
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:21,959
Speaker 2: Been getting afternoon updates as well, where we get a

65
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 2: little more detail than that one line, so we could

66
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 2: get more about the pope's health today.

67
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 1: All right, Next up on the run, we're gonna stay

68
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 1: in Rome, and that is where an American Airlines plane

69
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 1: that was taking off from New York and heading to

70
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: New Delhi ended up making an emergency landing.

71
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 2: So this was not a mechanical issue, this was not

72
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 2: a weather issue. This was a security issue. American Airlines

73
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 2: flight two nine to two requested a flight diversion and

74
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 2: was escorted by two Italian Air Force fighter jets as

75
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 2: soon as it entered Italian airspace.

76
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was a pretty uh jarring site to see.

77
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 1: I can't even imagine being yes in that plane. And

78
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 1: pass gngers on the plane said they were not told

79
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 1: that a security concern has something to do with their

80
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: actual plane. The good news is all one hundred and

81
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: ninety nine passengers and the crew on board landed safely

82
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 1: in Rome hours later, and that threat was ultimately deemed

83
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 1: not credible. So an airport spokesperson told reporters that the

84
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 1: security concern was initially serious enough to divert the plane,

85
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: but not urgent because they received the alert when the

86
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,599
Speaker 1: plane was still over the Caspian Sea, which meant it

87
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:30,280
Speaker 1: was still a three hour flight from Rome.

88
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, nothing you could really do at that point with

89
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,720
Speaker 2: a security concern. But NBC News is reporting that security

90
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:39,279
Speaker 2: issue was a bomb threat made against the flight that

91
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 2: was sent over email, and it was actually the crew

92
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 2: that reported the threat. Sure, we're going to hear more

93
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 2: about that moving forward. The plane and the passenger's baggage

94
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,840
Speaker 2: were thoroughly examined by authorities. They were released and again

95
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 2: the allow to take off heading to their destination. But

96
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 2: of course the crew in particular, but everybody at that

97
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 2: point was tired and needed rests. Everybody spent the night

98
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 2: in Rome, then hit it out for their original destination

99
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 2: of New Delhi. But that's scary. But to think that

100
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 2: we have a security threat, well, okay, what he wants

101
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:11,840
Speaker 2: to do about it, y'all have a three hours away

102
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 2: from anything. It's nothing that could be done.

103
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,599
Speaker 1: We're over the Caspian Sea. But thank goodness, it was

104
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 1: a non credible threat. All right.

105
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 2: Next up on the.

106
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 1: Run, we're gonna stay overseas where the Mid East ceasefire

107
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:26,600
Speaker 1: remains on very shaky ground after Israel refuse to release

108
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 1: more than six hundred Palestinian prisoners in exchange for the

109
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 1: six Israeli hostages that Hamas released over the weekend.

110
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 2: So why did Israel do this? Well in a statement,

111
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,720
Speaker 2: they said they're delaying the release of the prisoners until

112
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 2: the release of the next hostages has been assured. And

113
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 2: without those humiliating ceremonies. You have been watching any news

114
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 2: or seeing anything online, you've seen when some of these

115
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,040
Speaker 2: exchanges happen. Yes, people are happy to get their people

116
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 2: back and the hostages are happy to get out of there,

117
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 2: but it is really just a production put on by

118
00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 2: Hamas and putting the hostages on display in a way

119
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 2: that is you could argue humiliating. But the Prime Minister

120
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 2: Naniya who wrote on x that the handover ceremonies were

121
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 2: cynical exploitations of the hostages for propaganda purposes. So they

122
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:12,479
Speaker 2: want that to stop.

123
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 1: Yes, So Israel's decision to not honor it's part of

124
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:19,039
Speaker 1: the ceasefire agreement was also in response, it says, to

125
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 1: the delayed return of the body of hostage. Shiri BBus

126
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 1: We talked about this last week and the deaths of

127
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 1: her two young boys. So several different reasons why Israel

128
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:31,479
Speaker 1: said it is not going to follow through on this

129
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 1: prisoner swap.

130
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 2: Okay and Hamas jumped in here and said, now the

131
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 2: ceasefire agreement it is in grave danger of now going away.

132
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 2: They condemned this delay. They're asking the US and others

133
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,160
Speaker 2: now to put pressure on Israel to release the Palestinian prisoners.

134
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,599
Speaker 2: Would have been the largest group of Palestinians to be

135
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 2: freed so far in this ceasefire agreement. Now, there was

136
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 2: an initial exchange that was supposed to or this first

137
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 2: stage or the ceasefire. This was supposed to be the

138
00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,720
Speaker 2: final exchange in that first stage. Can't get to the

139
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 2: second stage until we finished the first. So don't know

140
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 2: how this is going to be resolved.

141
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 1: It's certainly going to complicate things. And there were reports

142
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 1: of gods and families traveling long distances, in some cases

143
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 1: days to meet their loved ones who they hadn't seen

144
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: for quite some time, and it was apparently frigid conditions

145
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 1: waiting for hours. So there was a lot of frustration

146
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 1: along the Gossen border there as folks were waiting anxiously

147
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 1: to see if those prisoners would be released. We will

148
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 1: keep our eye on that developing situation. But next up

149
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 1: on the run, we're going to head back home to

150
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 1: this country where President Trump went on a firing spree

151
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 1: over the weekend. And top of the list, well the

152
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 1: man at the top of the Pentagon Air Force.

153
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 2: General Charles C. Q. Brown, Junior, was removed from his

154
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 2: position as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

155
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 1: He was the.

156
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 2: Nation's senior most military officer. Also, you happened to only

157
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 2: be the second black general to hold that position. General

158
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 2: Brown had barely been on the job a year and

159
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 2: a half of what was supposed to be a four

160
00:07:58,560 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 2: year term.

161
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,239
Speaker 1: Of the Black Lives Matter movement and for diversity efforts

162
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 1: made him an administration target. President Trump had praise for

163
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: General Brown, thanked him on social media for his over

164
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 1: forty years of service to our country, including as our

165
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 1: current Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. He is

166
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 1: a fine gentleman and an outstanding leader, and I wish

167
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 1: a great future for him and his family. That was

168
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 1: what President Trump had to say. In addition to General Brown.

169
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 1: The president also removed the chief of the Navy and

170
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 1: the vice chief of staff for the Air Force. That

171
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 1: was quite the sweep.

172
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 2: They called it a purge, a Pentagon purge at the

173
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 2: top top levels. He's getting rid of generals and he's

174
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:42,720
Speaker 2: going to put people in place that he wants in

175
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 2: place were his people. But this was a really kind

176
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 2: of a jarring one that in one day you had

177
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:51,559
Speaker 2: these top folks just get out of there. And people

178
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 2: can argue, yes, he's allowed to have his people, but

179
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 2: folks who serve as the chairman of the Joint Chiefs

180
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 2: get that four year term. It doesn't matter who the

181
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 2: president is. Traditionally still continued under whatever president.

182
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 1: There's been nothing traditional about this second term of the

183
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 1: Trump administration.

184
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 2: Speaking of on the next leg of our run. Here,

185
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 2: this guy ran for president, that didn't work out. He

186
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:16,680
Speaker 2: then became co head of DOGE. That lasted about fifteen minutes.

187
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 2: But now the Veak Ramashwami is going for another gig

188
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 2: governor of Ohio.

189
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 1: That's right. The tech millionaire is expected to announce his

190
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 1: candidacy at an event in his hometown of Cincinnati today.

191
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 1: Ramashwami made a few waves during the Republican primary season,

192
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:39,440
Speaker 1: but his candidacy faded, he dropped out and then enthusiastically

193
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 1: supported Donald Trump.

194
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 2: You know, that's that's my bad, right there, Ropes. I

195
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 2: wrote that sentence and you had to say ramas shwamidacy

196
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 2: and enthusiastically that was that was too much.

197
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 1: And it's very early in the morning.

198
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,560
Speaker 2: That's on me, babe, That's on me. But Ramashwami was

199
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 2: rewarded for his loyalty to drop with a prime spot

200
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 2: in the administration COHD of Trump's new Department of Government

201
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 2: Efficiency DOUGH. She was supposed to run it alongside Elon Musk,

202
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,959
Speaker 2: but on the first day of Trump's new administration, word

203
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,559
Speaker 2: game that Rama Shwami was backing out and would run

204
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 2: for public office. So now his candidacy is expected to

205
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 2: become official today.

206
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:18,679
Speaker 1: Word came out that he was backing out, But there

207
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 1: was also a word that came out that he was

208
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 1: not necessarily well. He was butting heads potentially with Musk,

209
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 1: and so it was just better for everyone if he

210
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 1: made a clean exit and was able to run for governor.

211
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:32,599
Speaker 2: See, I was just trying to give him credit. You

212
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 2: had to bring up the negative stuff, just trying.

213
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 1: To point out that there were some other things going

214
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 1: out in the background, and he didn't just all of

215
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 1: a sudden decide not to co hare doge with Musk.

216
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 1: Can you imagine Musk sharing that with him? Now, now

217
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 1: that we've seen what Dose has done. Can you imagine

218
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 1: if those two had to make those decisions together that

219
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,319
Speaker 1: would have been much more balancing?

220
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,960
Speaker 2: Perhaps? Actually, I was like, wait, would that have been

221
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 2: a bad thing? Possibly?

222
00:10:57,600 --> 00:10:57,680
Speaker 1: Not?

223
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 2: Folks, will stay with us here on this Monday Morning

224
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 2: run when we come back, a change to a fifty

225
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 2: year policy that is quite literally now going to change

226
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 2: the face of the New York Yankees. Plus, the Oscar

227
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 2: race just got upended. We thought we knew who the

228
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 2: front runners were, and then here comes Timothy Shallaman.

229
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,719
Speaker 1: Welcome back to our Monday morning run. And next up

230
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 1: on the run, we're going to head right where we

231
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 1: are to New York, where the Yankees are going to

232
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 1: look different this upcoming season, scruffier. Perhaps for the first

233
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:41,840
Speaker 1: time in nearly fifty years, Yankees players will be allowed

234
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 1: to have facial hair.

235
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:45,560
Speaker 2: Had you ever heard of this before?

236
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 1: I didn't even know this was a thing.

237
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:49,560
Speaker 2: This was a thing, folks, This has been a part

238
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 2: of Yankee tradition, Yankee lore. You could argue a policy

239
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 2: implemented by famed owner George Steinbrenner. This was back in

240
00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 2: nineteen seventy six. Yankees players no bars. Now, you might

241
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:05,439
Speaker 2: not have heard of this policy, but test yourselves, even

242
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 2: if you're not a baseball fan. You know who Derek

243
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 2: Jeter is. You can picture him in your mind. You

244
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 2: know who Aaron Judge is. You can picture him. C. C. Sabbathia,

245
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 2: perhaps a Rod Marianna Rivera. You can see these legends

246
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:20,199
Speaker 2: and you can see their fases. You know why, because

247
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 2: none of those phases have face your hair on them.

248
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 1: I never ever thought about it.

249
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 2: This has been the case for fifty years. Some mustache

250
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 2: exceptions along the way.

251
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 1: How do they make mustache exceptions?

252
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 2: Well, they can be smaller and groomed. You just can't

253
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 2: have this has to be clean, shake clean, shaven all

254
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 2: over the face.

255
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:40,559
Speaker 1: Can't even have like a five o'clock shot.

256
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 2: Out and have a shot. Some people have pushed the

257
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 2: line a little bit over the years, but yes, this

258
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 2: is something that really did stun the baseball world because

259
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 2: it really has been kind of an enduring part of

260
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 2: Yankee's lore for so long.

261
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 1: Yeah. When you announced this to me, I said, what

262
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:57,320
Speaker 1: there was even a huh. I was very confused. But

263
00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:00,199
Speaker 1: no matter how big of a star you were, Yeah, yeah,

264
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,839
Speaker 1: when you signed with the Yankees, it was understood by them.

265
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:05,560
Speaker 1: I might not have known about it, but every baseball

266
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 1: player did. You got a shave. But in a statement,

267
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 1: current managing partner of the Yankees, hal Steinbrenner said, after

268
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 1: great consideration, we will be amending our expectations to allow

269
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 1: our players and uniform personnel to have well groomed beards

270
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 1: moving forward. It is the appropriate time to move beyond

271
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 1: the familiar comfort of our former policy. Yankees also have

272
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 1: a policy against hair down the collar and no names

273
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 1: on the uniforms. You know, and a lot of baseball

274
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 1: players do have that scruffy look like you'll see the

275
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 1: huge like the mullets and the beards. And now that

276
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 1: you're saying it, you're right. I never realized how different

277
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 1: the Yankee players look, but now it all makes sense.

278
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 2: Clean cut, but they say, look, these young guys in

279
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 2: their twenties and thirties, is part of their identities. Just

280
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:55,200
Speaker 2: a different time where so many people are wearing beards.

281
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 2: Seem like everybody has a beard of these days, so

282
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:00,199
Speaker 2: that part was kind of cool. But they think it

283
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 2: will help with their competitive the competitive nature. Now, some

284
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 2: guys were hesitant to sign with the Yankees.

285
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:09,679
Speaker 1: Because they like, you could play for the Yankees.

286
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 2: Not a problem. I mean I have skill, I have

287
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 2: the look, but not the skill.

288
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 1: They prefer first, like a clean shaven face. I have

289
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 1: never seen you with a bear.

290
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 2: But the other no names on the uniforms. That's because

291
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 2: they think it takes the focus off the team and

292
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 2: puts it on the individual.

293
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 1: But those things are staying in place, in place.

294
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 2: But this has been the party Yankees. So they have

295
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 2: a new free agent, by the way, who's coming in,

296
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 2: a big star who has like a signature beard. They

297
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 2: think that might have.

298
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 1: Oh, that couldn't have had anything to do with it.

299
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 2: I don't think it did. They had a bunch of

300
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 2: players over the years. They could have changed the policy

301
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 2: for much bigger stars than Okay, then that all right,

302
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 2: our final leg of the run. Oh, let's head out

303
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 2: to Hollywood. So we thought there were Oscar front runners.

304
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 2: And then the SAG Awards happened last night, the thirty

305
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 2: first Annual screen Actor Guild Awards, which is the final

306
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 2: predictor before the Academy Awards next week, offered some surprises

307
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 2: that have now upended Oscar predictions.

308
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 1: The two biggest surprises in particular, number one, Conclave took

309
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 1: the top prize and number two Timothy Shallomey won Best Actor.

310
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 1: Before last night, the momentum was with Honora. That's another

311
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 1: OSCAR nominated film that has picked up several top awards

312
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 1: in recent weeks.

313
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 2: And we loved it. We title good Lord Honora was

314
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 2: something special, but it was why they considered the front

315
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 2: runner for Best Picture Oscar. Conclaves win last night, though,

316
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 2: makes things a little more interesting going into next week

317
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 2: Academy Awards ceremony. Also, Adrian Brody has been cleaning up

318
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 2: in the Best Actor category this award season for his

319
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 2: role in The Brutalist. So it was quite the upset

320
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 2: last night when Yeah, Timothy Schallomey won Best Actor for

321
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 2: his portrayal of Bob Dylan in a Complete Unknown.

322
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 1: And did you check out what he said in his

323
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 1: acceptance speech That raised some eyebrows as well, And you know,

324
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 1: good for him, he said, Hey, he wasn't as humble

325
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 1: maybe perhaps as we've seen other people. He said, hey,

326
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 1: I want to be the goat, and this is one

327
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 1: step closer to heading in that direction. He made his

328
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 1: intentions known.

329
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, every great I think has well, I'm thinking about sports.

330
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 2: But that's not arrogance. I think he set a goal

331
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 2: for himself. He just happened to say it out loud

332
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 2: to everybody else.

333
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 1: In sports, it's accepted. In acting. I don't know that

334
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 1: I've ever heard it said that way, and nothing against him.

335
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 1: It was just a little different than what we're used

336
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 1: to hearing.

337
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 2: There's anybody else, I don't know if there's another actor

338
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 2: up and comer who has the chops, the resume, the

339
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 2: moxie and the backing to make a statement like that.

340
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 2: Timmy Salame is running Hollywood right now.

341
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 1: He said he wanted he was. He was modeling after

342
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 1: danield Lewis, which is one of my favorites. And yeah,

343
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 1: he did make sports analogies Michael Jordan, you know, so

344
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 1: you know it was I it was interesting and a

345
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 1: lot of people are talking about it today. Also, Demi

346
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 1: Moore won Best Actress for her role in This Substance. Zoe'

347
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:04,760
Speaker 1: z al Dania won Best Supporting Actress for her role

348
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:08,119
Speaker 1: in Amelia Perez SAG, by the way, is the largest

349
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 1: voting body on the awards circuit. It's made up of

350
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty thousand on screen performers, and that's

351
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 1: why a lot of people say it's a predictor for

352
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:18,199
Speaker 1: what happens in the Oscars with the Academy voting, and

353
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 1: those votes obviously have long since been counted. But we

354
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 1: find out perhaps where or at least a little. It's a

355
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:27,880
Speaker 1: little reading the tea leaves. When you see where things

356
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:29,920
Speaker 1: go with Sage, you're rolling your eyes.

357
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:32,119
Speaker 2: Well, it's like reading the Vatican tea leaves, right. You

358
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 2: try to predict best you can. But it does make

359
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:38,399
Speaker 2: it a little more interesting from last night, you know what.

360
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:40,439
Speaker 1: Else makes it a little bit more interesting. We have

361
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 1: actually watched almost all, nearly all of the movies that

362
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:49,640
Speaker 1: are up for consideration for Best Picture, at least all

363
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:51,200
Speaker 1: the ones that are available to us well.

364
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:54,360
Speaker 2: At home, including The Brutalists, which we are now as

365
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 2: we're recording this. Kids, we're not getting we have been

366
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 2: I can do the math. We've been watching. That's another

367
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 2: five hours, so twelve plus five seventeen.

368
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,639
Speaker 1: Hours, Yeah, sixteen hours and fifty something minutes.

369
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, we started watching The Brutalists nearly seventeen hours ago.

370
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 2: We still have another thirty minutes left. It's a three

371
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:18,359
Speaker 2: hour and thirty five minute movie. Adrian Brody is stupid good.

372
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:19,359
Speaker 2: It's in this movie.

373
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 1: It's undeniable.

374
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:22,919
Speaker 2: It's just long, and it has an intermission built in.

375
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 1: We've built in several other intermissions beyond that intermission.

376
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 2: We got distracted, then went to sleep, and we just

377
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 2: it's taken us seventeen hours to watch it, three and

378
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 2: a half hour movie.

379
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 1: But just stay tuned. Later this week, we're actually going

380
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,160
Speaker 1: to have I think we're gonna put it into two

381
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 1: different podcasts because it is a labor of love or

382
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 1: perhaps a labor of duty. Most people haven't seen any

383
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 1: or just maybe one or two of the Best Picture nominees,

384
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,360
Speaker 1: so we thought we would watch them for you, let

385
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:52,359
Speaker 1: you know what we thought of the movies with our

386
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:54,359
Speaker 1: team of producers, and so you all don't even have

387
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 1: to watch the movies. You can just listen to our podcast,

388
00:18:56,920 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 1: be invested in the outcome, and then watch the Oscars

389
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 1: this weekend.

390
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 2: So yeah, s'more to come on that later this week,

391
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:05,680
Speaker 2: But for now, as you go about to your day

392
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 2: kicking off your week on this Monday something we'd like

393
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 2: for you to consider it is our quote of the.

394
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:12,480
Speaker 1: Day from the files of TJ. Holmes.

395
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:12,880
Speaker 2: Here.

396
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 1: It is our quote of the day. If you could

397
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 1: kick the person in the pants most responsible for your trouble,

398
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 1: you wouldn't sit for a month.

399
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 2: Takes a second to figure out what we're talking about,

400
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:27,359
Speaker 2: but I think this came from a politician, but I

401
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 2: got it from a pastor. He used it during a sermon.

402
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 2: But the idea there being look, you want to blame

403
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 2: everybody else around you for the position you're in and

404
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 2: how you're doing and what you're and what your world

405
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 2: is like, but probably the person most responsible is you.

406
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:43,880
Speaker 1: Yeah. It took me a beat and I was like, oh, oh,

407
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:46,679
Speaker 1: I get it. So our quote of the day on

408
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 1: this Monday morning run is, if.

409
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 2: You could kick the person in the pants most responsible

410
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 2: for your trouble, you wouldn't sit for a month. And

411
00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:59,440
Speaker 2: with that folkus, we always appreciate you going on a

412
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:01,959
