1
00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:04,720
Speaker 1: Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast.

2
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:11,840
Speaker 2: Hello everyone, It's Monday, November fourth, also election Eve. I'm

3
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:13,120
Speaker 2: Amy Robox and I'm TJ.

4
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:16,440
Speaker 1: Holmes. Thanks for coming along for this Monday Morning Run with.

5
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 2: Us and on today's Ron, Yes, we are almost to

6
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:22,079
Speaker 2: the finish line. Today is the final day of the

7
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:24,959
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four campaign and Kamala Harris will be in

8
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 2: one particular state all day long and Trump will swing

9
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 2: by that swing state today as well.

10
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 1: Meanwhile, a surprising new poll from Iowa has folks scratching

11
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:39,479
Speaker 1: their heads and possibly bracing for an election night shocker.

12
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:43,479
Speaker 2: Also this morning, NBC gives free airtime to Donald Trump

13
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 2: because they were legally required to do so.

14
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 1: And Quincy Jones, the entertainment giant, has passed away at

15
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 1: the age of ninety one, and his legacy is hard

16
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 1: to put into words.

17
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 2: And Sydney gets added to a prestigious list, and runners

18
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 2: all over the world start making their travel plans.

19
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 1: Well, let's start off all the morning run today on

20
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:09,039
Speaker 1: this last day of campaigning, Seventy five plus million people

21
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 1: have already voted in this year's presidential election, and today

22
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 1: is the last day for the candidates to make their

23
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 1: pitch to the folks. We'll be going to the post tomorrow.

24
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 2: We're gonna give you one guess where they will be

25
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:23,479
Speaker 2: spending their final day of campaigning. Yes, Pennsylvania. Harris will

26
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 2: be all over the state and rap with a rally

27
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:30,479
Speaker 2: tonight in Philadelphia with Oprah Winfrey and Lady Gaga. Trump

28
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:32,960
Speaker 2: will make two stops in this state with events in

29
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:36,399
Speaker 2: Reading at Reading excuse me, and Pittsburgh.

30
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 1: He also will be in North Carolina earlier in the

31
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,040
Speaker 1: day and then wrap with an event in Michigan tonight.

32
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,959
Speaker 1: There are seven states considered battle ground states. You know

33
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 1: them well by now, probably, but will remind you Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona, Nevada,

34
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 1: North Carolina, and yes, of course, Pennsylvania. So the easiest

35
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 1: path to victory for each candidate is to pick off

36
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,559
Speaker 1: Pennsylvania and its nineteen electoral votes, and that is why

37
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris is essentially set up residency there for the

38
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 1: past two months.

39
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 2: That's right, and the other reason polls have shown that

40
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 2: state deadlocked, including the latest from the Washington Post, which

41
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 2: has it at forty eight to forty seven percent for Harris.

42
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 1: But those likely scenarios and all those paths to victory

43
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 1: could pretty much go out the window if you believe

44
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 1: the latest poll coming out of Iowa, of all places,

45
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,239
Speaker 1: and that is where we'll continue our Monday morning run,

46
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: and it's where there's been a shocking result in one

47
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: of the final polls out of that state.

48
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 2: Yes, the Des Moines Register released a poll of likely

49
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,920
Speaker 2: voters that shows Harris ahead forty seven to forty four

50
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 2: percent over Trump. And that is shocking for a number

51
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 2: of reasons. First, Trump carried this state twice handily. Second,

52
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 2: this wasn't considered a battleground state and poll showed Trump

53
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:50,919
Speaker 2: comfortably ahead, including a poll released Saturday that had him

54
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 2: up ten points.

55
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 1: So even though Trump did carry this state twice, it

56
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 1: has been trending Republican, of course, but we have to

57
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 1: remember Barackle Obama carried this state twice as well, in

58
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:06,399
Speaker 1: twenty eight and twenty twelve. Trump called this latest poll

59
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 1: though fake, said it's not even close in Iowa. We'll

60
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,920
Speaker 1: see people are scratching their heads. But this gives him already.

61
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 1: If the result, could you imagine, comes out that he

62
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,920
Speaker 1: loses Iowa, then that will be the first time we

63
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 1: hear him that night saying see it's a rigged election.

64
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 2: Right, because these are startling numbers. Now, one of the

65
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,959
Speaker 2: reasons the des Moines Register points to the possibility that

66
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 2: Kamala could be ahead Kamala Harris is because the poll

67
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 2: shows that women, particularly those who are older or politically independent,

68
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 2: are driving this late shift towards Harris and against Trump.

69
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 2: But certainly, when you think about the fact that when

70
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 2: it was Biden Trump, those poles in June showed him

71
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 2: eighteen points ahead. So this is a shocking, shocking reversal. Indeed,

72
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 2: all right, Next up on our run, NBC gave free

73
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 2: airtime to Trump for two ads that aired during sports

74
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 2: coverage on Sunday, and you might have noticed them if

75
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 2: you were watching the NASCAR race yesterday or the Sunday

76
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 2: night football game between the Colts and the Vikings.

77
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 1: In one of those ads, Trump spoke directly to camera

78
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: with a red Maga hat on. So why would NBC

79
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 1: give him free airtime because they were legally required to

80
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 1: do so, Because they also gave free airtime to Kamala Harris,

81
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 1: not in the commercial, but on Saturday Night Live.

82
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 2: That's right, Harris made a surprise appearance on SNL this

83
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 2: weekend in the opening sketch with Maya Rudolph, who, of

84
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 2: course has been portraying Harris on SNL during this entire

85
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 2: campaign season. Federal rules require the broadcasters give competing candidates

86
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 2: equal access, meaning providing comparable time to opposing candidates, and

87
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 2: so the FCC called out NBC when they saw Kamala

88
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 2: Harris on SNL.

89
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: So these are FCC rules and it doesn't have to

90
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 1: be the exact same format. So just because they put

91
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 1: him on SNL, her on SNL doesn't mean they have

92
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 1: to put him on SNL, but they just have to

93
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:01,280
Speaker 1: give him equal time in some way way. The networks

94
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: aren't required to reach out to the candidates to say, hey,

95
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,720
Speaker 1: we need to offer you equal time, but the candidates

96
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,719
Speaker 1: if they do say hey, you gave this person time,

97
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 1: we want it, then they are then required to do so.

98
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 1: Not sure which side this came from, but they had

99
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 1: to give This is why you saw those ads.

100
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 2: Well, it was interesting because the FCC commissioner actually went

101
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 2: on to X formally Twitter after he saw Harris on

102
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 2: SNL and wrote on X that NBC was a clear

103
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 2: and blatant effort to evade the FCC's equal time rule.

104
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:36,279
Speaker 2: So he called them out on social media, and Trump

105
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:39,919
Speaker 2: obviously jumped on that and was able to have quite

106
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 2: the impact in a very large audience watching sports on Sunday.

107
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 1: But given where we are with the FCC commissioner coming

108
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 1: out and making that statement, people of course on the

109
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 1: other side immediately pointed out he's a Republican.

110
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 2: He is a Republican, yes, and that should be noticed.

111
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 2: He was on the Laura at Ingram Show to discuss

112
00:05:56,400 --> 00:06:01,040
Speaker 2: this exact situation just yesterday, so certainly has a political

113
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:06,600
Speaker 2: agenda as well. But NBC did what they were supposed

114
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 2: to do in the end.

115
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 1: All right, folks, will stay with us here on this

116
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:14,040
Speaker 1: morning's run. Coming up, one of the most consequential, significant,

117
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 1: one of the most relevant, one of the most important

118
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 1: people in entertainment in any of our lifetimes, has passed away.

119
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 1: We will go back and remember the legacy of mister

120
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:37,040
Speaker 1: Quincy Jones. Stay with us. Next up here on our

121
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 1: Monday morning run, Giant Titan Icon legend. Those are pretty

122
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 1: much the only words you can use in describing Quincy Jones,

123
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 1: the music producer, passed away yesterday at his home in

124
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 1: Los Angeles, surrounded by family and in a statement that

125
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 1: family said tonight, with full but broken hearts, we must

126
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 1: share the news of our follow and brother, Quincy Jones passing,

127
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,679
Speaker 1: and although this is an incredible loss for our family,

128
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 1: we celebrate the great life that he lived and know

129
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 1: there will never be another like him.

130
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 2: There certainly won't. It is virtually impossible for you to

131
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 2: have not been touched in some way by his work.

132
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 2: Quincy Jones made some of the most significant contributions to

133
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 2: music and entertainment over the past fifty plus years. Namely,

134
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 2: he's the producer credited with turning Michael Jackson into the

135
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 2: king of pop. He produced Jackson's first solo album, Off

136
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 2: the Wall You Got Me.

137
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, that album, I remember that having that,

138
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 1: I can't remember that. Yeah, the eight tracks. Her parents

139
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 1: had an eight tracks goodness of that, so I had

140
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 1: to listen to the whole album. But he followed up

141
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 1: Off the Wall with of course, producing Thriller, which became

142
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: the best selling album of all time. It still holds

143
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 1: that place. He followed that up by producing Michael Jackson's

144
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 1: Bad album. Yes that was Jones as well, but he

145
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 1: also worked with just about everybody in the industry, from

146
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 1: Dizzy Gillespie to Aretha Franklin, to Snoop Dogg.

147
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 2: To Frank Sinatra. How about that Frank Sinatra's Flying Me

148
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 2: to the Moon? Jones produced that Ray Charles in the

149
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 2: Heat of the Night, that was Jones as well. Remember

150
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 2: we Are the World. I still love that song he

151
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 2: produced that. He is twenty eight Grammys and a total

152
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 2: of eighty Grammy nominations.

153
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 1: I believe he had the all time most number of

154
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 1: Grammy nominations until I think Beyonce.

155
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 2: Overtook number two. Now he's number two, all right.

156
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 1: He also produced I get this. This is just a

157
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 1: matter of the impact. If you think I didn't really

158
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 1: listen to his music, Okay, here's the thing. He produced

159
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,559
Speaker 1: a soundtrack for the TV series Roots. He is even

160
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 1: responsible for the theme song for Sanford and Son.

161
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 2: Oh that's such an iconic class.

162
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 1: You all know his stuff, even if you don't know

163
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 1: some of it. That he's RESPONSI before. This just gives

164
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 1: you a glimpse into his wide ranging impact. But he

165
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,839
Speaker 1: also he had a stamp on Hollywood.

166
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 2: As well, right, I mean, he was the producer of

167
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 2: the Color Purple, which received eleven Oscar nominations. He was

168
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 2: the first black musical director of the Academy Awards ceremony.

169
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 1: And do you remember he was also executive producer of

170
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:17,440
Speaker 1: The Fresh Prince of bell Air. So he has been

171
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 1: all over the place and touching so many artists, too

172
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:24,440
Speaker 1: many entertainers, and just so much of the industry that

173
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,200
Speaker 1: you know and love he was responsible for. This guy

174
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 1: is a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of

175
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:33,080
Speaker 1: Fame and he has received an Honorary Academy Award on

176
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 1: two occasions. I do believe he was ninety one years old.

177
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:39,679
Speaker 1: And it's always sad when somebody loses a family member,

178
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 1: but when you hear that someone made it to ninety

179
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 1: one and they had this type of legacy, that's a life,

180
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 1: that's a going home and a celebration of a life,

181
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 1: and it's just incredible. I hate for his family, but

182
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 1: it's just incredible life.

183
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 2: And his legacy will live on through all of those

184
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 2: incredible works of art that he left behind. But it's remarkable.

185
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 2: I actually did a deep dive on and just how

186
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:02,840
Speaker 2: he came up and how he became who he was.

187
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:06,320
Speaker 2: I encourage everybody to google him because he really had

188
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 2: the people say humble beginnings. This is a kid at

189
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 2: fourteen who had to leave home with an abusive stepmom

190
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 2: and lie about his age to join the military. I mean,

191
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 2: he really has had so much life that he lived

192
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 2: and turned it around and made it such a beautiful

193
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 2: life for all of us to still enjoy even beyond

194
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:25,680
Speaker 2: his passing. So he will be missed for our final

195
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 2: leg of the run. Let's talk marathons. Let's talk major marathons.

196
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 2: Up until now, if you didn't know, if you aren't

197
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 2: a runner, there are six major marathons in the world.

198
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 2: Not today Today there is a seventh, and we're.

199
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 1: Talking about Sydney, Australia, officially elevated to one of the

200
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 1: prestigious Abbot World Major marathons. It'll join the ranks of

201
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 1: New York, Boston, Chicago, London, Berlin and Tokyo. The first

202
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 1: major marathon in the Southern Hemisphere, Sidney will now be yes.

203
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 2: Abbot CEOs said the team in Sydney has been impressive.

204
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 2: They've been working for more than three years to improve

205
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 2: their operations and experience so that the world can now

206
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 2: call them a major. And to become a major, a

207
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 2: city must pass two consecutive assessments.

208
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 1: One of those is the number of participants in how

209
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,840
Speaker 1: many finish those numbers need to keep going up. And

210
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 1: the other is how the race is organized, as in

211
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 1: how many elite runners participate in, what the runners experience

212
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 1: is like, and how consistent that is.

213
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 2: So the Sydney Marathon is already known for its scenic

214
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 2: route along the Sydney Harbor and all the city's iconic

215
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 2: landmarks you know, the Opera House, et cetera. This past September,

216
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 2: a record twenty two hundred and seventy two runners finished

217
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 2: the race, which helped clear the way for this now

218
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 2: major title. It's pretty cool. It began back in two

219
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 2: thousand as a part of the Olympic Games, so the

220
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:48,319
Speaker 2: first official Sydney Marathon, there were just twelve hundred finishers

221
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 2: in its first year, so it's come a long way.

222
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 1: That's actually a lot of growth in twenty years. There.

223
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: The next two cities under consideration for major status are

224
00:11:55,920 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 1: Cape Town and Shanghai, official saying they could join Sydney

225
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 1: and the others within the next two to three years.

226
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 1: This is a big deal. Look, if you're not a runner,

227
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 1: maybe you scratch your head and say, what's the big deal.

228
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 1: But there's a huge running community out there, and if

229
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:13,719
Speaker 1: you hear anybody talk about it, They'll just call them

230
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 1: the majors. I've done the majors. I've done this many majors.

231
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 1: So this is a big deal to get this status

232
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:22,839
Speaker 1: because you get some bragging rights to know your city

233
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 1: is one of the majors. You could probably guess the

234
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 1: other reason this is a big deal.

235
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's called money. The Sydney Marathons major status is

236
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 2: expected to generate an extra forty eight million dollars that's

237
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:37,320
Speaker 2: US dollars and tourism over the next three years. That

238
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 2: is significant. So the twenty twenty five race in Sydney

239
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 2: is scheduled for August thirty first, with more than thirty

240
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 2: three thousand runners already expected. To give you some perspective. Look,

241
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 2: I've run three majors, but god, I have to say

242
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 2: New York. New York is the is my favorite. I'll

243
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 2: just say that it's my favorite. But we had fifty

244
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 2: five thousand, six hundred forty six runners finish yesterday in

245
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 2: almost ideal weather. It's it was a little bit cool.

246
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 2: But we're going to talk a lot more about the

247
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 2: New York City Marathon. We still have we have our

248
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 2: marathon legs on this morning. We're we're slowly carefully walking

249
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:18,560
Speaker 2: around the apartment today, but we're we finished and we're healthy.

250
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 1: My legs are somewhere in Harlem is where I left

251
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 1: mine yesterday doing mine ran the Bronx, but we we

252
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 1: will get into that. Of course, we did run the

253
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 1: New York City Marathon yesterday, but we'll talk about that

254
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 1: a little more in another podcast. But for now, on

255
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,960
Speaker 1: this morning run, we would like to leave you with

256
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 1: something to consider on this Monday.

257
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 2: That's right, here's your quote of the day. The problem

258
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 2: isn't that we raised the standard and miss it. It's

259
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,080
Speaker 2: that we lower the standard and hit it.

260
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:47,200
Speaker 1: Another one from my pastor. He said this in a

261
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:49,839
Speaker 1: sermon years and years ago. But when you think about that,

262
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:53,840
Speaker 1: the problem isn't always that, Wow, I tried, I went

263
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 1: for that and I didn't make it. I went for

264
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:57,199
Speaker 1: it and I didn't make it. But the sky was

265
00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,680
Speaker 1: the limit. But then what if you set you up

266
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 1: your expectations a little lower and you meet your goal?

267
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 1: Is that fulfilling? That is where it came from. And

268
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 1: if you think about it and go about your day

269
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 1: with this in your head, it will make so many

270
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 1: things so clear to you. That's right. I love this quote.

271
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll say it again for you. The problem isn't

272
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,560
Speaker 2: that we raise the standard and miss it, it's that

273
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 2: we lower the standard and hit it. I really think

274
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 2: that is a pretty cool way to even start your

275
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 2: week because we can all try harder and shoot higher.

276
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 1: And it's okay if you don't nail it the time

277
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 1: we're saying that, just don't lower your own studd folks.

278
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 1: And with that, thank you for going along on this

279
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 1: run with us on this Monday morning. Have a good

280
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 1: election eve. I'm TJ and.

281
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 2: I'm maybe Robot. Thanks for running with us, and we'll

282
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 2: check in with you tomorrow
