00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:06,400
Speaker 1: Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio podcast. Hello everyone,

2
00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:10,000
Speaker 1: this is your Morning Run for Thursday, June twenty sixth.

3
00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:12,520
Speaker 2: I'm Amy Robach and I'm TJ. Holmes on the Run

4
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:16,000
Speaker 2: this morning. The US and Iran are set to meet

5
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:20,360
Speaker 2: next week on a nuclear deal. Sounds like a big deal.

6
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:22,840
Speaker 2: Trump sounds indifferent.

7
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:25,600
Speaker 1: And one of the foremost diplomats in the world had

8
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:29,120
Speaker 1: to explain himself yesterday after calling Trump Daddy during a

9
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:33,280
Speaker 1: press conference. It was a bizarre and hilarious international incident,

10
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 1: and now Usher is involved.

11
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 2: Also this morning, Trump's twenty billion dollar lawsuit against CBS

12
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:42,560
Speaker 2: could get settled soon. That is, if Trump is willing

13
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 2: to knock a few zeros off that twenty billion.

14
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 3: And the clock is tigging.

15
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 1: The Trump administration gives California a deadline to reverse its

16
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 1: policy allowing transgender athletes to participate in girls' sports or

17
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 1: face the Justice Department.

18
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:59,319
Speaker 2: And Chuck Schumer went from the Senate gym to the

19
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 2: hospital yesterday. He returned to work later with a reminder

20
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 2: for all of us and wedding on. Jeff Bezos and

21
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 2: his fiance arrive in Venice. They were kind of hard

22
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 2: to miss and a baseball fan heckled a major league

23
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 2: player two tiers. That fan is now banned from all

24
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:19,759
Speaker 2: MLB stadiums, and the.

25
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:22,400
Speaker 1: Young instole the show at the NBA draft last night,

26
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 1: including the number one overall pick, who will still be

27
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 1: eighteen when he makes his NBA debut, And whether you

28
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 1: prefer big spoon or little spoon.

29
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,040
Speaker 3: A new study proves there.

30
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 1: Are health benefits to cuddling with your partner before falling asleep.

31
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 2: Some of this I read it, and you were very

32
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 2: excited about it. Some of it seemed common sense to me.

33
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 3: Right, yes, physical touch is important, but.

34
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 2: It almost seemed like it doesn't matter who's there that

35
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 2: you need to cuddle something.

36
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 3: Right to missy with your partner.

37
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 1: Physical intimacy actually has mental health benefits.

38
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 2: Boy, Okay, we'll go into that so much later. Here.

39
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 2: We're going to begin this morning with President Trump saying

40
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 2: the US will meet with Iran next week to discuss

41
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 2: a nuclear agreement. But at the same time, the President

42
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 2: sounded like he didn't care if they get a deal

43
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 2: done or not.

44
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, here's this thinking there's no urgency on a nuclear

45
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 1: deal because we just blew up their nuclear program. The

46
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 1: President made the announcement as he was leaving the NATO

47
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,519
Speaker 1: summit in the Hague, saying we may sign an agreement.

48
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 3: I don't know.

49
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:25,839
Speaker 1: To me, I don't think it's that necessary.

50
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 2: He went on to say, we want to we want

51
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,360
Speaker 2: no nuclear, but we destroyed the nuclear. In other words,

52
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 2: it's destroyed. I said, Aran will not have nuclear. Well,

53
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 2: we blew it up. It's blown to Kingdom come. And

54
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 2: so I don't feel very strongly about it. If we

55
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 2: got a document, it wouldn't be bad.

56
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,359
Speaker 1: Only Trump could make me laugh at the word nuclear,

57
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 1: because that's just not a funny word in it.

58
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:49,359
Speaker 3: Somehow he made it funny.

59
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 2: I mean, so, look that we would normally say this

60
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 2: is a huge, huge thing that the two sides are

61
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 2: talking and a deal could get done, but he sounded

62
00:02:57,880 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 2: kind of indifferent to the idea.

63
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, flippant almost Yes.

64
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:03,959
Speaker 1: Next up on the Run, Well, the Defense Department plans

65
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 1: to defend those B two bomber pilots who flew the

66
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 1: mission to attack Iran's nuclear program this week, and also

67
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 1: promised to back up administration claims that those strikes yes,

68
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 1: in fact, obliterated.

69
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 3: The Iran nuclear program, despite.

70
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 1: Reporting of a leaked Pentagon assessment that suggested the attack

71
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 1: only set the program back by a couple of months.

72
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, press conference with Secretary Pete hegseth its planned for

73
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 2: this morning, and the President was promoting it, saying that

74
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 2: the purpose of this press conference is to quote fight

75
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 2: for the dignity of our great American pilots. These patriots

76
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 2: were very upset after thirty six hours of dangerously flying

77
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 2: through enemy territory, they landed. They knew the success was legendary,

78
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 2: and then two days later they started reading fake news

79
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 2: by CNN and the failing New York Times. They felt terribly.

80
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 2: The President went on to say this news conference is

81
00:03:56,240 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 2: going to prove both interesting and irrefutable, and then he

82
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 2: ends it with enjoy with an exclamation point. So they

83
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 2: are going to lay out and probably try to make

84
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 2: a whole presentation showing proof that it was obliterated in

85
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:11,119
Speaker 2: some way.

86
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 1: Okay, And as of this recording, this press conference is

87
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,160
Speaker 1: scheduled for eight am Eastern time, So that is going

88
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,040
Speaker 1: to be muscy television today.

89
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,040
Speaker 2: All right, We're going to continue on the run on

90
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 2: this Thursday morning with a grown man called Trump Daddy.

91
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 2: Yesterday and it damn near calls an international incident, and

92
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 2: now the guy who called him daddy has had to

93
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:36,280
Speaker 2: publicly clarify his daddy comments.

94
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 1: And to make things even more bizarre, Usher is involved.

95
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 3: At this point, let us explain how this all came about.

96
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 1: At the NATO summit yesterday, President Trump held during a

97
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 1: press conference with the NATO Secretary General Mark Ruta.

98
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 2: Yes, the President was having a press conference with this guy.

99
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 2: A lot of people you might not know his name

100
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 2: or his face with Mark Ruta is the guy at

101
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 2: NATO who's in charge and trying to keep all these

102
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 2: countries in line and keeping these conference stations going. So

103
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,159
Speaker 2: he's a hell of a diplomat. So he was talking

104
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 2: with the President at this press conference, and in talking

105
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 2: about the Iran Israel conflict, President Trump compared those two

106
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,040
Speaker 2: countries to two kids fighting on a playground. We talked

107
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 2: about there here yesterday. Ruth jumped in and said, daddy

108
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 2: has to sometimes use strong language to get them to stop.

109
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 2: Does that make sense to you? Though he was making yes,

110
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 2: he was continuing the metaphor with correct Okay, So that

111
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,159
Speaker 2: was what he said. But the daddy reference then made

112
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,479
Speaker 2: headlines with some outlets running with it, and it was

113
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 2: characterized in some circles as going over the top and

114
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 2: kissing the ring of Trump if you will.

115
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 1: So Rutha spoke to reporters later to clarify his statements.

116
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 1: He said this quote the daddy thing. I didn't call

117
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 1: him daddy. What I said is that sometimes in Europe,

118
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 1: I hear sometimes country saying, hey, Mark, will the US

119
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 1: stay with us? And I said that sounds a little

120
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 1: bit like a small child asking his daddy, Hey, are

121
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 1: you still staying with the family. So in that sense,

122
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 1: I use daddy, not that I was calling President Trump daddy.

123
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 2: Should have just left it alone, right, should have just

124
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 2: left it alone.

125
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 3: Don't even confused me. First I did.

126
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:06,719
Speaker 2: I don't know. He's talking about Europe.

127
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:07,599
Speaker 3: This is what they do.

128
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,040
Speaker 2: But he's explaining something that I didn't think needed to

129
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 2: be explained. Even It's okay, man, So that made it

130
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 2: more confusing. But here we go now. Then Trump was

131
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 2: asked about it later and fully embraced the term, saying quote,

132
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 2: he did it very affectionately, daddy, You're my daddy. End quote. Now.

133
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 2: Then the White House, but out of video on social

134
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 2: media highlighting the president's time at the summit. It was

135
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 2: a video of some of his highlights. I guess of

136
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 2: their meeting with world leaders and under it to the

137
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 2: soundtrack of Usher's twenty ten song Hey Daddy.

138
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 3: I mean they just leaned into it, and the chorus.

139
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 2: Of that song goes, Daddy's home.

140
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:47,479
Speaker 3: Oh my goodness. It just gets more bizarre every day.

141
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 2: It should have been a nothing story. It was an

142
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 2: offhand nothing comment that went correctly with the metaphor, and

143
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 2: it became that.

144
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 1: Because it's kind of my favorite story of the day,

145
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 1: second only to the sleeve study about spooning.

146
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,040
Speaker 3: Yes, anyway, we'll get to that in just a bit.

147
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 1: But next up on a run, Trump is being sued

148
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:07,279
Speaker 1: or sorry, Trump is suing CBS for twenty billion dollars, so.

149
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 2: We know it is. You're used to saying Trump is

150
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 2: being sued, right.

151
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 1: So that's fair, But actually it's fair to say he

152
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 1: sues just as much as he's being sued, so he

153
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 1: go either way. I think he's got a lot of

154
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 1: lawsuits out there. California, California, California. Then they've got Yeah,

155
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 1: we'll get to that. Trump is suing CBS for twenty

156
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 1: billion dollars, but he might have to knock a couple

157
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: of zeros off that number. A mediator is suggesting the

158
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 1: president take twenty million and call it a day.

159
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 2: Yeah. This is according to the Wall Street Journal, which

160
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 2: is reporting that the President's team has been presented with

161
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 2: the suggestion from the mediator working to get Trump and

162
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 2: CBS to settle the dispute. The President sued the network,

163
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 2: claiming election interference over how sixty minutes edited its interview

164
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 2: with Kamala Harris.

165
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 1: Now, the Journal reports the plan would be for CBS

166
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: to make a seventeen million dollar donation to the Trump

167
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 1: Presidential Foundation or museum, as well as pay the legal

168
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 1: fees and make public service announces to combat anti semitism.

169
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 1: Trump previously rejected a fifteen million dollars settlement offer. He

170
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 1: said he wanted at least twenty five and he wanted

171
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 1: an apology.

172
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 2: And the apology was the part of the problem with

173
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 2: that settlement.

174
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 3: Understandable.

175
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 2: So continue on the run here to California, where the

176
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 2: Trump administration has given that state a deadline. You got

177
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 2: ten days to change your policy on allowing transgender student

178
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 2: athletes to compete on sports teams that match with their identities.

179
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 2: If they don't, California risks imminent enforcement action. They say

180
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 2: that includes referral to the Justice Apartment for proceedings. This

181
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 2: is all, of course, trying to keep transgender girls from

182
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 2: competing on girls sports teams.

183
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 1: That's right, and this all comes after California allowed a

184
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 1: transgender girl to compete in the state's high school track championships.

185
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 1: While trans athlete ab Hernandez placed first in the triple

186
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 1: and high jump and came in second in the long jump,

187
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 1: California tried to compromise with Trump's February executive order banning

188
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:01,959
Speaker 1: trans girls from participating in females sports by allowing an

189
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 1: additional an additional female athlete to compete in each event

190
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 1: Hernandez was competing it yes.

191
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 2: So Hernandez essentially shared her medals alongside the next best

192
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 2: female athlete. That compraide didn't satisfy the Trump administration. Education

193
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 2: Secretary Linda McMahon said, Although Governor Newsome admitted months ago

194
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:23,319
Speaker 2: it was deeply unfair to allow men to compete in

195
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 2: women's sports, both the California Department of Education and the

196
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:29,720
Speaker 2: CIF continued as recently as a few weeks ago to

197
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 2: allow men to steal female athletes well deserved accolades and

198
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:37,560
Speaker 2: to subject them to the indignity of unfair and unsafe

199
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 2: competition now.

200
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 1: Newsome spokesperson responded by saying this it wouldn't be a

201
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 1: day ending in why without the Trump administration threatening to

202
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 1: defund California. Twenty nine states have laws that prohibit trends

203
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,440
Speaker 1: student athletes from participating in girls' sports. Five of them

204
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 1: right now are temporarily blocked by lawsuits. So this is

205
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 1: not going away. This debate is going to continue for

206
00:09:59,080 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 1: some time.

207
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 2: All right, continue our run now head back to DC.

208
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 2: We need to check on Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.

209
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 2: He spent a little time in the hospital yesterday. He

210
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 2: was taken out of an abundance of caution, they say,

211
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:13,320
Speaker 2: after getting lightheaded while working out at the Senate gym.

212
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 1: He was ultimately treated for dehydration. The Senator was back

213
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 1: at work at the Capitol a short time later, and

214
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 1: a spokesperson said the Senator wants to remind people to

215
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 1: drink water and stay out of the heat. DC, of course,

216
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 1: has been baking like the rest of us in the

217
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:29,439
Speaker 1: eastern part.

218
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 3: Of the US. It's funny I actually ran on the

219
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:34,680
Speaker 3: treadmill in the heat or the heat of the heat.

220
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:37,440
Speaker 3: Does that make sense. The heat of the heat.

221
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, and the hottest part of the day, thank you.

222
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 3: Yes, and the gym.

223
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:42,320
Speaker 1: Even though it was their condition, I could still feel

224
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,960
Speaker 1: the heat and I felt overheated on the treadmill indoors

225
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 1: just because of what was.

226
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 2: Going on around my part of this. I gave him credit.

227
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 2: He's seventy four years old. I heard he was in

228
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 2: the Senate gym. That actually made me happy to hear,

229
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:55,079
Speaker 2: and glad he's okay, But glad he gave us all

230
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 2: that reminder. They've been the same thing. High nineties and

231
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 2: heat indecks over one hundred in DC. We'll stay with

232
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 2: us here, folks on this Thursday morning run. When we

233
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:09,560
Speaker 2: come back, the wedding is on in Venice, well if

234
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 2: they can avoid some of those protesters. Also coming up,

235
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:18,320
Speaker 2: a major League Baseball player in tears over what a

236
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:22,840
Speaker 2: fan said to him, and Robok's favorite story of the day,

237
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:33,960
Speaker 2: cuddling is good for your health. Next up on our

238
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:37,719
Speaker 2: Thursday Morning Run, we head to Italy. Looks like this

239
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 2: is in fact wedding weekend for Amazon founder Jeff Bezos

240
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 2: and his fiance Lawrence Sanchez, because the happy couple has

241
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 2: arrived in.

242
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 3: Venice, how do we know.

243
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 1: Well, they didn't exactly come quietly. They were spotted and

244
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 1: waving to cameras as they were being shuttled to and

245
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 1: from Venice by helicopter yesterday.

246
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, that helicopter took off from Venice and landed on

247
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 2: his yacht just off the coast. That yacht was the

248
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 2: support yacht that's there as a companion to his main yacht.

249
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 2: The wedding is reportedly a three doar, three day, superstar

250
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:13,080
Speaker 2: studded event. At this point, we've been talking about it

251
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,320
Speaker 2: so much. I would really like for them to get married. Yes,

252
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 2: just get it done.

253
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, I just want to. I didn't even

254
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 1: know there was such a thing as a support yacht.

255
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 1: I think that's the first time I've ever heard that

256
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 1: phrase or term ever used. But of course it makes

257
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,319
Speaker 1: sense that it would be applicable to bezos, all.

258
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:29,320
Speaker 3: Right, Next up on a run.

259
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:32,440
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball has banned a fan from all Major

260
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:36,439
Speaker 1: League stadiums for heckling a player to tiers. This all

261
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 1: played out earlier this week in Chicago. The White Sox

262
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 1: were hosting the Arizona Diamondbacks.

263
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 2: At All Star Second baseman for the Diamondbacks Coutell Marte

264
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 2: was up to bat in the seventh inning when a

265
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 2: fan was mercilessly heckling him. Now, the Arizona manager noticed

266
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 2: during the seventh inning stretch that Marte was going back

267
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 2: out on the field to play defense and he was

268
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 2: in tears, so he went out to see what was

269
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 2: going on and try to comfort player.

270
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 1: So at that point he asked umpires that that fan

271
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,199
Speaker 1: be removed. And of course professional athletes are accustomed to

272
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 1: opposing fans yelling all kinds of things at them, especially

273
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:12,439
Speaker 1: in baseball, So what could the fan have possibly been

274
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:14,440
Speaker 1: saying to him that upset.

275
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 3: Him so much.

276
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 2: The fan was heckling Marte about his dead mother, a

277
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 2: woman who passed tragically and suddenly in a car accident

278
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:27,080
Speaker 2: back in twenty seventeen. Now, the White Sox, to their credit,

279
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,960
Speaker 2: made a gesture later with a social media post saying

280
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:33,439
Speaker 2: baseball is family. The White Sox community supports could tell Marte.

281
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:37,080
Speaker 2: This fan has been banned from all baseball, all of

282
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:40,560
Speaker 2: Major League Baseball, indefinitely for now. But there's a video

283
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 2: out that the manager saw it happening, was screaming back

284
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 2: at like yelling like his mom's dead. You encouraging the

285
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 2: person out, like what is wrong with you? And so

286
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 2: maybe the person was yelling something about yamma and they

287
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 2: didn't know the guy's mom was dead, which is just

288
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 2: even that it's too far. But I mean, I guess

289
00:13:57,840 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 2: we have no bounds.

290
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 1: I think it's disgusting when you hear about this. This

291
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 1: is these are people playing professionally for your enjoyment, your entertainment,

292
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 1: but they're human beings, and it's just disgusting that they

293
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 1: We do a lot already, exactly exactly, and you're an adult, sir,

294
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 1: act like one and more importantly, just act like a

295
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 1: human being. So I think that was an I'm fully

296
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 1: supporting the decision of Major League Baseball on that one.

297
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 2: Video is tough to see this guy, his tears a

298
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 2: running down his face on the field.

299
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh it breaks your heart. Breaks your heart all right.

300
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 1: Next up on our run with the first pick in

301
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 1: the NBA draft, the Dallas Mavericks surprised absolutely no one, TJ.

302
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 1: You were talking about this all day yesterday.

303
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, we just make it official. They've been talking about it,

304
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 2: you know what, since he started bouncing the ball as

305
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 2: a freshman. They've been talking about this, yes Duke freshman

306
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 2: phenom Cooper Flag. It is the number one overall pick

307
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 2: in the twenty twenty five draft, yes picked up by

308
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 2: the Dallas Mavericks. He is now the sixth Duke player

309
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 2: to ever go number one in the NBA Draft. Draft

310
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 2: underway last night is going to go on for the

311
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 2: next few days at the Barclay Center in Brooklyn. But

312
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 2: this is a he reclassified as a high school as

313
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 2: high school kid they allow you to do. He went

314
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 2: forward so that he's so young now, so he's eighteen

315
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 2: now when he debuts. He will still be eighteen when

316
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:14,480

Speaker 1: if you had like millions to put down, yes, you

324
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,040

333
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 3: On a new study You're with the wrong partner?

334
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 2: You know what? That's again, different episode of our podcast.

335
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 2: A new study, as published this month, says that cuddling

336
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 2: and promotes more secure attachment between partners and lowers stress levels.

337
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 2: The study looked at the association between physical closeness before

338
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 2: sleep and stress, attachment, insecurity, and sleep disturbance.

339
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 1: The researchers considered a bunch of factors in this study,

340
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 1: including your daytime sleepiness, income, age, relationship length, and what

341
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 1: they found was, even when couples are having trouble connecting

342
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 1: emotionally during the day, when they went to sleep in

343

Speaker 1: a physically closer position, they had lower couple insecure attachment

344
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 1: issues and overall lower stress levels.

345
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 2: Now, researchers did not find any significant connection between cuddling

346
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 2: and improved sleep quality. However, that kind of makes sense

347
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 2: to bottom line, The study concluded that snuggling in bed

348
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 2: may be a promising and amenable avenue for improving relational

349
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 2: and physiological well being.

350
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 1: It's hard though, if you're not, if you're feeling disconnected,

351
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 1: But it's true, like it's you know, I'm not saying

352
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 1: you're in an all out fight, but if you just

353
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 1: feel a little bit dist or you haven't been feeling

354
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:04,120
Speaker 1: connected to your partner, if you just snuggle at night,

355
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:05,359
Speaker 1: it's a game changer.

356
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 2: Physical touch works, just holding hands, something that simple, a

357
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:10,600
