Speaker 1: Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast. Good
Speaker 1: morning everyone, and welcome to Morning Run.
Speaker 2: It's Friday, May twenty third.
Speaker 3: I'm Amy Robots and I'm TJ. Holmes and on this
Speaker 3: Friday Morning Run. Just when you thought that war between
Speaker 3: President Trump and Harvard University couldn't get any worse, well
Speaker 3: you won't believe what Trump has gone and done now
Speaker 3: essentially kicked every international student out of the Ivy League university.
Speaker 1: Meantime, a judge says Trump cannot shut down the Department
Speaker 1: of Education and orders fired employees to be reinstated. Also
Speaker 1: on the run, an apocalyptic scene as a small plane
Speaker 1: crashes into a San Diego neighborhood, killing all six on
Speaker 1: board and injuring several others on the ground.
Speaker 3: Also this morning, police say the suspect accused of killing
Speaker 3: that young Israeli couple in DC confessed, telling officers I
Speaker 3: did it for Gaza. Also another big day in the
Speaker 3: Ditty trial. The much anticipated witness rapper Kid Cuddy took
Speaker 3: the stand, describing Diddy as a Marvel supervillain.
Speaker 1: Plus, police arrest a fourth person for helping one of
Speaker 1: the escaped inmates in that New Orleans jail break five though,
Speaker 1: are still on the run this morning.
Speaker 3: And it might not be so easy to pinch your
Speaker 3: pennies anymore, because there ain't no more. The final batch
Speaker 3: was ordered by the Treasury Department as production of the
Speaker 3: copper coins come to an end, and a commencement speaker
Speaker 3: like none other. How would you feel about taking advice
Speaker 3: and inspiration on your big day from Kermit the Frog?
Speaker 3: You gotta stick around here, Robox feelings about this one
Speaker 3: a little later.
Speaker 2: It remains to be seen.
Speaker 1: For me. I need to hear more, so we will
Speaker 1: be doing that in just a moment. But we do
Speaker 1: begin our run on this Friday morning in Washington, DC.
Speaker 1: Just when you thought this thing could not escalate anymore,
Speaker 1: President Trump has gone and made another unprecedented and some
Speaker 1: already say very illegal moves in his ongoing fight with
Speaker 1: Harvard University. The administration has now taken away Harvard's ability
Speaker 1: to enroll international students.
Speaker 3: Okay, let's say that one more time. You're hearing it correctly.
Speaker 3: Harvard is not allowed to accept, enroll, or retain students
Speaker 3: from other countries. All foreign students got to go. This
Speaker 3: would mean its current enrollment of about seven thousand international
Speaker 3: students will either need to transfer to another school or
Speaker 3: they're going to have to leave the country.
Speaker 1: Okay, so how can the administration do this? Well, schools
Speaker 1: have to have a Student and Exchange Visitor Program certification
Speaker 1: and that comes through the federal government in order to
Speaker 1: accept those students from other countries. Homeland Security terminated Harvard's certification,
Speaker 1: which effectively bans the school from having international students or
Speaker 1: from hosting foreign professors or researchers, etc.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and don't just take our word for it. Homeland
Speaker 3: Security wanted to clarify and said this in a statement.
Speaker 3: This means Harvard can no longer enroll foreign students, and
Speaker 3: existing foreign students must transfer or lose their legal status
Speaker 3: end quote. Homeland Security Secretary Christy Home said the move
Speaker 3: is because the university has refused to turn over records
Speaker 3: for foreign students. But Trump v. Harvard has been bubbling
Speaker 3: for months now. The President cut two point six billion
Speaker 3: dollars in federal funding to the school, saying the school
Speaker 3: hasn't done enough to fight anti semitism on campus. And
Speaker 3: this also comes after the school refused a list of
Speaker 3: administration demands for changes on campus.
Speaker 1: The White House said they've turned their once great institution
Speaker 1: into a hot bed of anti American, anti Semitic, pro
Speaker 1: terrorist agitators.
Speaker 2: Harvard says it's.
Speaker 1: Working quickly to provide support and guidance to its campus community,
Speaker 1: who is well.
Speaker 2: I can only imagine reeling at this point.
Speaker 3: They have to be freaking out. We're talking about sixty
Speaker 3: eight as a quarter of their student population made up
Speaker 3: of foreign students, but they have so many more. It's
Speaker 3: a total of ten thousand. When you throw in like
Speaker 3: the professors, the researchers, the visiting professors, all these folks
Speaker 3: who come in, they have to leave the school. As
Speaker 3: of this moment, they don't know what to do. Harve's
Speaker 3: trying to figure.
Speaker 2: Out what this is catastrophic?
Speaker 3: What do you do now? A lot of other universities
Speaker 3: are probably out there recruiting. Now, hey, you can come
Speaker 3: over to us. Our certification is just good. But you
Speaker 3: know what's gonna happen next. The next move is going
Speaker 3: to be what a lawsuit? Expect that. But but yeah,
Speaker 3: this is being described as an illegal overreach by the administration.
Speaker 3: But yes, this is going to be caught up in court.
Speaker 3: But you know, all those four students, just that uncertainty
Speaker 3: of knowing whether or not you can continue education or
Speaker 3: even stay in the country. That sucks.
Speaker 1: I cannot even imagine what they must be thinking and
Speaker 1: feeling right now, and all the families of those students
Speaker 1: worried about their children.
Speaker 2: I mean, this is just an absolute mess.
Speaker 3: All right, let's continue our run here on this Friday.
Speaker 3: And actually, no, you can't shut down the Department of Education,
Speaker 3: mister president. That word from a judge yesterday who not
Speaker 3: only blocked Trump's executive order to shut down the DOE,
Speaker 3: but he also ordered that all fired workers be reinstated.
Speaker 1: That's about thirteen hundred employees who were fired back in March.
Speaker 1: That was a part of the president's effort to shut
Speaker 1: down the department, which has been his publicly stated goal from.
Speaker 2: The beginning from the campaign.
Speaker 1: But in court, the administration argued that those fired employees
Speaker 1: were just a part of restructuring the department. The judge
Speaker 1: did not buy that, though, saying the record abundantly reveals
Speaker 1: that Defendant's true intention is to effectively dismantle the department
Speaker 1: without an authorizing statute.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so authorizing statute translation, Congress created the department, so
Speaker 3: it would need to take another act of Congress to
Speaker 3: shut it down. You know what everybody said from the
Speaker 3: very beginning when Trump said he wanted to shut down
Speaker 3: the department. The judge ordered that those thirteen hundred fired
Speaker 3: employees should be reinstated. The administration vowed to quickly challenge
Speaker 3: the judge's ruling.
Speaker 2: More lawsuits, all right.
Speaker 1: Next up on the run, a horrific and tragic scene
Speaker 1: in San Diego after a small plane crashed into a neighborhood,
Speaker 1: killing all six people on board and injuring at least
Speaker 1: eight others on the ground.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the co founder and at least two employees of
Speaker 3: a music talent agency Sound Talent Group, died when their
Speaker 3: plane hit an electrical wire and then crashed into a
Speaker 3: military housing complex. This happened around three forty five am
Speaker 3: local time. There was dense fog in the area, and
Speaker 3: according to the National Weather Service, there was only about
Speaker 3: a half mile of visibility at the time of the crash.
Speaker 1: Air traffic radio transmissions showed that the pilot was concerned
Speaker 1: about the fog as he approached the airport. The Sesna
Speaker 1: was just two miles from the airport from landing when
Speaker 1: it went down. The scene on the ground was and
Speaker 1: still is apocalyptic. The debris field from the crash is
Speaker 1: a quarter mile long.
Speaker 3: Yeah, multiple vehicles and homes caught fire. First responders said
Speaker 3: this looked like something out of a movie. One hundred
Speaker 3: people had to be evacuated from their homes because of
Speaker 3: the damage and the fuel spill caused by the crash.
Speaker 3: The San Diego Police Chief told reporters there was a
Speaker 3: jet fuel or there was jet fuel going down the
Speaker 3: street and everything on fire all at once. It was
Speaker 3: pretty horrific to see, he.
Speaker 2: Said, Yeah, an authority scene.
Speaker 1: Many families will be out of their homes for quite
Speaker 1: some time. The Sound Talent Group put out a statement saying,
Speaker 1: we are devastated by the loss of our co founder,
Speaker 1: colleagues and friends. Our hearts go out to their families,
Speaker 1: into everyone impacted by today's tragedy and today investigators will
Speaker 1: be back at the scene all day trying to piece
Speaker 1: together what exactly happened. They say this is just an
Speaker 1: absolute disaster area, so it's going to take them some
Speaker 1: time before they can even move the parts of the
Speaker 1: plane on Saturday, so this is going to be a
Speaker 1: while before they figure it out. But they will be
Speaker 1: looking for that flight data recorder to find out what
Speaker 1: happened because there was no distress call. The last thing
Speaker 1: they heard from the pilot was you know, I'm three
Speaker 1: miles out, will be landing shortly, and then they never
Speaker 1: heard anything else.
Speaker 3: Right, we will continue our run now. The next leg
Speaker 3: takes us back to DC, where we got new and
Speaker 3: chilling details about the murder of a young couple where
Speaker 3: both Israeli embassy staff members. The Justice Department is investigating
Speaker 3: the shooting and now as a hate crime and an
Speaker 3: act of terrorism.
Speaker 1: The suspect, thirty one year old Alias Rodriguez, of Chicago,
Speaker 1: was in court yesterday and has been charged with murder.
Speaker 1: According to police, Rodriguez confessed to officers on the scene saying.
Speaker 2: I did it. I did it for Gaza.
Speaker 1: The affidavit details the incident in which the young couple
Speaker 1: was coming out of an event at the Capitol Jewish Museum.
Speaker 1: It happened around nine o'clock on Wednesday night, when Rodriguez
Speaker 1: walked past the couple, but then turned towards them and
Speaker 1: fired yeah.
Speaker 3: So he essentially waited to get past them, they described,
Speaker 3: and their backs were to him. He turned to them
Speaker 3: as they were walking away from him. And the woman,
Speaker 3: according to police, tried to crawl away after initially being shot.
Speaker 3: The suspect you could see on video, according to police,
Speaker 3: followed her, walked behind her as she was trying to
Speaker 3: crawl away. Said he even reloaded and fired at her again.
Speaker 3: Now police say this weapon was legally bought in Illinois
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty, say he traveled to DC with it
Speaker 3: on the plane, legally carrying it because he declared it
Speaker 3: to the airline and it was in his checked bag.
Speaker 3: So the Justice Department hasn't decided yet, but they are
Speaker 3: considering seeking the death penalty. And of course wrote so
Speaker 3: much talk about the young couple thirty and twenty six,
Speaker 3: but we're about to get engaged. Recently, I think he
Speaker 3: just bought a ring within the past week.
Speaker 1: It's devastatingly sad, and I believe I read that he
Speaker 1: fired twenty one shots at them.
Speaker 2: This is disgusting.
Speaker 1: So yeah, we will see what happens there at the
Speaker 1: Just Department, maybe seeking the death penalty, all right. The
Speaker 1: next leg of our run takes us back to Lower
Speaker 1: Manhattan where Shan didty. Combs was described by a witness
Speaker 1: yesterday as a Marvel super villain that was just one
Speaker 1: of a number of remarkable revelations and moments that at
Speaker 1: this point we should probably come to expect from the
Speaker 1: Diddy trial.
Speaker 3: And yesterday the much anticipated testimony from rapper Kid Cutty,
Speaker 3: who briefly dated Casey Ventura, the ex girlfriend of Sean Combs.
Speaker 3: Now Kid Cutty, whose real name is Scott Muscutdy, testify
Speaker 3: that he believed Combs was behind a break in at
Speaker 3: his home as well as an incident in which his
Speaker 3: Porsche was torched by a Molotov cocktail.
Speaker 1: Cutty said, at a meeting in La to try to
Speaker 1: squash their beef, he walked in and saw Sean Combs
Speaker 1: was standing there. This is me quoting him staring out
Speaker 1: the window with his hands behind his back like a
Speaker 1: Marvel supervillain. People in the courtroom actually cracked up when
Speaker 1: he made that comment. Cutty said, did he denied blowing
Speaker 1: up his car at that point, but then years later
Speaker 1: when the two ran into one another, he said, Diddy apologize.
Speaker 3: Also on the stand yesterday, there was a forensic computer
Speaker 3: expert with Homeland Security testified about going through the laptops
Speaker 3: of Casey Ventura. Also a makeup artist who once worked
Speaker 3: for Ditty described some scenes she saw in which there
Speaker 3: was abuse, alleged abuse of Casey Ventura, Cassie Ventura. And
Speaker 3: then the manager of an La hotel was on the stand.
Speaker 3: Managed a hotel that apparently Combs frequented. Now, the manager
Speaker 3: said they had a guest profile for Ditty that included
Speaker 3: notes to the hotel staff on how to deal with
Speaker 3: this particular guest. Sean did he komb?
Speaker 2: Yes? What did those notes say?
Speaker 1: Well, here's what they said, always spills candle wax on
Speaker 1: everything and uses excessive amounts of oil. It goes on
Speaker 1: to instruct their staff to place the room out of
Speaker 1: order upon departure for deep cleaning. It also said to
Speaker 1: please authorize an extra one thousand dollars when guest stays
Speaker 1: with us to cover any room damages. Who testimony wrapped
Speaker 1: yesterday for the holiday weekend and will resume on Tuesday.
Speaker 2: But what a day in court.
Speaker 3: That was incredible. It's in the system when this guest
Speaker 3: checks in, heads up, these are your notes. They talk
Speaker 3: about keeping other people away from the hallway because of
Speaker 3: smells and whatnot. They knew what that. I don't know
Speaker 3: if they exactly.
Speaker 2: Knew what was amazing?
Speaker 1: He was able to do what he did for so long,
Speaker 1: with so many people knowing or having an understanding of
Speaker 1: what was potentially happening, and yet crickets until Cassie Ventura
Speaker 1: filed her civil lawsuit.
Speaker 3: All right, folks, we will continue on the run here
Speaker 3: on this Friday morning. On the next leg takes us
Speaker 3: to New Orleans, where police have made another arrest in
Speaker 3: the case of ten inmate escapees. As of this recording,
Speaker 3: five inmates are still on the run, and police say
Speaker 3: there's a fifty nine year old woman now who's been
Speaker 3: arrested for giving money to one of the escapees through
Speaker 3: an app That inmate remains at large and now Connie
Speaker 3: Weed and has her names. She's been charged with one
Speaker 3: felon account of being an accessory after the fact she
Speaker 3: had reportedly been in contact with an inmate via phone
Speaker 3: before and after his escape. Of course, we're talking about
Speaker 3: these ten men. They escaped, been about a week now
Speaker 3: that they've been on the run. They escaped in the
Speaker 3: early morning hours May sixteenth, after ripping a toilet off
Speaker 3: the wall and escaping through a hole behind it. I
Speaker 3: didn't get this, didn't know this ropes, this detail until
Speaker 3: this morning. Yeah, they were gone for seven hours, so.
Speaker 1: If this is crazy, it reportedly took authorities more than
Speaker 1: seven hours to realize the inmates were missing. So they
Speaker 1: escaped around one am according to that surveillance video.
Speaker 3: That's a good head start, that's right.
Speaker 1: And then they weren't reported missing until eight thirty in
Speaker 1: the morning. And then get this, that news of the
Speaker 1: inmates escape didn't get reported to city police officers until
Speaker 1: ten thirty, two hours later. So there is a lot
Speaker 1: of finger pointing about the lapses in time. And if
Speaker 1: they had been more on top of things these they
Speaker 1: say all ten men would have been rounded up immediately.
Speaker 3: This is going you talk about the people who've been
Speaker 3: arrested here so far, I wouldn't be surprised that they
Speaker 3: are more arrest and people fired for what has taken place.
Speaker 3: Because your behavior essentially put the public at risk.
Speaker 1: That has absolutely been intimated by officials saying they are
Speaker 1: going to be There is going to be massive investigations
Speaker 1: about this, but the main focus right now is finding
Speaker 1: these five men because one of them has been convicted
Speaker 1: of killing four people. Prosecutors have had to leave the
Speaker 1: state to get away because they fear for their lives
Speaker 1: and their families' lives, witnesses, people have had to have
Speaker 1: had to go into hiding because they're so concerned about
Speaker 1: especially one particular inmate who is.
Speaker 2: On the loose right now.
Speaker 3: So it's not just the were talked about this one arrest,
Speaker 3: but three other people have been charged with helping the inmates,
Speaker 3: including a maintenance worker who's accused of shutting off the
Speaker 3: water so the inmates could remove the toilet. His story
Speaker 3: is the one that has changed. He said he was
Speaker 3: threatened and that's why he did it. And now his
Speaker 3: attorney came out and said no, no, no, no no, there was
Speaker 3: a plumbing issue and he was just doing his job
Speaker 3: and cut off the wart.
Speaker 1: That's what Sterling Williams is now saying. Yes, but two
Speaker 1: other women have also been charged after helping some of
Speaker 1: the escapees with transportation and food. And again yeah, police
Speaker 1: are warning New Orleans residents to remain vigilant, saying the
Speaker 1: five men at large are armed and dangerous.
Speaker 3: All right, folks, well stay with us here on this
Speaker 3: Friday morning. Ron when we continue in a moment, no
Speaker 3: more pennies for your thought. It's gonna take a nickel
Speaker 3: or a dime or a quarter because his pennies are
Speaker 3: not gonna be available anymore. We'll explain also, you've spent
Speaker 3: all that time in college and get to your big day,
Speaker 3: you commencement speech, and who gets up on stage a
Speaker 3: green puppet. We continue now on this Friday morning ron
Speaker 3: with the last and final order of pennies. It was
Speaker 3: made by the Treasury Department. Early this year, Trump announced
Speaker 3: the US would stop producing new pennies. No more shiny
Speaker 3: new pennies than I can put in my loafers.
Speaker 2: I just love that as No, no more new ones.
Speaker 1: Because a twenty twenty four US Mint report showed the
Speaker 1: cost of making a penny increased by twenty percent. It
Speaker 1: currently costs more than three and a half cents to
Speaker 1: make one penny. That makes no sense, all right, So
Speaker 1: stopping penny production actually is going to meet an immediate
Speaker 1: fifty six million dollars in annual savings for the US.
Speaker 1: Back in February, Trump said he would rip the waste
Speaker 1: out of our great nation's budget, even if it's a penny.
Speaker 2: At a time.
Speaker 3: Okay, so the nickel we're looking at you now. The
Speaker 3: US Mint also loses money making the five cent coin.
Speaker 3: It costs more than thirteen and a half since to
Speaker 3: make each nickel. No company would run like this if
Speaker 3: it cost you more to produce your product than the
Speaker 3: product is actually worth after you make it, no business
Speaker 3: upbrates that way.
Speaker 2: It doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 1: And also the Treasury Department had pointed out that the
Speaker 1: penny people just don't use it anymore, and I think
Speaker 1: probably it probably goes the same with a nickel too,
Speaker 1: because we're all paying.
Speaker 2: Through our cards or Apple pay.
Speaker 1: You know, we're not really using coins that much anymore.
Speaker 3: Can I ask you and everybody else when you walk
Speaker 3: down the street and you see a penny or a
Speaker 3: nickel on the ground, do you even pick it up anymore?
Speaker 1: Nah? If it's on its head, sometimes I think it's
Speaker 1: good luck of luck. But that's the only reason why not,
Speaker 1: because I need it. I don't walk around with pennies
Speaker 1: at all. All right, for the final leg of our run,
Speaker 1: this is your favorite story, TEJ. You've been waiting for
Speaker 1: it all morning long. Four years of college, one hundred
Speaker 1: thousand dollars intuition, graduation day comes and your commencement speaker
Speaker 1: is a frog.
Speaker 3: It's not just any frog. It's not just any frog
Speaker 3: or this one is a quote star of stage, screen
Speaker 3: and swamp. Obviously we have to be talking about Kermit.
Speaker 3: Can you remember is there another famous frog I'm missing?
Speaker 3: There was one on some a cereal box or something.
Speaker 2: One that you can kiss and turns into a prince.
Speaker 3: What Yeah, frogs those frogs? Yeah, you kiss and he
Speaker 3: turned to a prince.
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Is that how it goes?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Man, I need to brush up on my fairy tales.
Speaker 3: But we're talking about Kermit. The frog was a commencement speaker.
Speaker 3: He had the honor of being the commencement speaker last
Speaker 3: night at the University of Maryland.
Speaker 1: And Kermit does have a deep connection to the university.
Speaker 1: It's where Jim Henson, the Muppets creator, attended college, graduating
Speaker 1: back in nineteen sixty.
Speaker 2: There's even a statue of.
Speaker 1: Henson and Kermit on campus. But what kind of advice
Speaker 1: does a green puppet actually have to give?
Speaker 2: Apparently pretty good?
Speaker 3: Okay, it wasn't. Some of these speeches they crack a
Speaker 3: few jokes and they don't always land. His didn't. Some didn't.
Speaker 3: He cracked a joke. It was an outdoor ceremony, so
Speaker 3: he was talking about the weather. At some point he said,
Speaker 3: weather calls for a one hundred percent chance of frog. Yep,
Speaker 3: there were crickets. Another joke, He said, I can tell
Speaker 3: that you have all worked your tails off, and as
Speaker 3: a former tadpole, let me tell you, losing your tail
Speaker 3: is a really big deal.
Speaker 2: These are dad jokes.
Speaker 1: Maybe we'll call them frog jokes, all right. He mentioned
Speaker 1: his friend Jim Henson and said he had a hand
Speaker 1: in everything.
Speaker 3: I did you like that?
Speaker 2: But I'm bomb?
Speaker 1: No? Still, okay, nope, how about this one. My whole life,
Speaker 1: I've tried to appreciate who people are, even if it's
Speaker 1: a pig who hogs the spotlight.
Speaker 3: No, no, there were kind of crickets in the arena too.
Speaker 2: No, not laughing, good thing on the inside.
Speaker 3: Okay, So to the more poignant moments, and there was
Speaker 3: some good stuff in here. You can if you didn't
Speaker 3: know who delivered it, you would take these messages just fine.
Speaker 3: How about this quote, always be on the lookout for
Speaker 3: old friends you just met. That's pretty good. Okay, that's
Speaker 3: pretty good. Also another line, that's the thing about love,
Speaker 3: It sticks with you even when you were apart. Talking
Speaker 3: about friends and relationships and folks you might be leaving
Speaker 3: at your graduation, right you okay with that one? Okay, okay,
Speaker 3: oh yeah, all right, Kurr's picking up some steam here.
Speaker 3: Stay connected to your dreams, no matter how big or
Speaker 3: how impossible they seem. Dreams are where we figure out
Speaker 3: where we want to go, and life is how we
Speaker 3: get there. Oh yeah, he's he's warming up now, ain't he?
Speaker 2: Okay?
Speaker 3: And one more for you. Life's like a movie, right
Speaker 3: your own ending.
Speaker 1: Okay, I mean all right, okay, here's his best line,
Speaker 1: all right, according to you, so I'm going to read it.
Speaker 1: This is what TJ says was Kerme's best line. As
Speaker 1: you prepare to take this big leap into real life,
Speaker 1: here's a little advice. If you're willing to listen to
Speaker 1: a frog, rather than jumping over someone to get what
Speaker 1: you want, consider reaching out your hand and taking the
Speaker 1: leap side by side, because life is better.
Speaker 2: When we leap together.
Speaker 3: Boom.
Speaker 2: Okay, that was sweet. Boom, that was sweet.
Speaker 1: Okay if it was boom, come on, Okay, he landed
Speaker 1: his plane.
Speaker 3: Well, he incorporated leaping and he's a frog, so it
Speaker 3: was a little silly with still pointing you didn't okay.
Speaker 3: I listened to the entire commissment dressed this.
Speaker 2: Morning, and you were laughing.
Speaker 3: I saw you laughing, but it wasn't necessarily funny.
Speaker 2: Okay, you were laughing at him, not with me.
Speaker 3: Some people were rolling their eyes. Were really sitting here
Speaker 3: listening to a frog give my commisment address. But he's
Speaker 3: done it before, We've seen him in others. But he
Speaker 3: ended it with a song about rainbows, which you don't
Speaker 3: see that a lot of commencement addresses. It's different. But
Speaker 3: as a graduate who just spent one hundred thousand dollars,
Speaker 3: as a parent who just used all that money, and
Speaker 3: you get to this moment, do you care who the
Speaker 3: message comes from?
Speaker 1: I mean it matters, you know what I would say.
Speaker 1: At least it was memorable.
Speaker 3: You're gonna forget this one.
Speaker 1: And yes you can laugh even at the frog if
Speaker 1: you weren't laughing with him.
Speaker 3: Who was your commencement speaker?
Speaker 2: I don't remember.
Speaker 3: I don't remember mine was you know what it was?
Speaker 1: It was some elected congressman and I don't know who
Speaker 1: it was. And it was very, very uninspiring. Sorry, if
Speaker 1: someone wants to look up our graduation, you're to figure
Speaker 1: that out, because now I feel like I just threw
Speaker 1: an insult at someone, but it was not memorable.
Speaker 3: Mine was a woman. I think that's all I got.
Speaker 2: Mine was a man, and I think he was an
Speaker 2: elected official.
Speaker 3: They'll remember Kermit.
Speaker 2: What about the woman? What did she do? Any clue
Speaker 2: she spoke?
Speaker 3: Have no idea, folks. We gave you all those quotes
Speaker 3: from Kermit, but we are going to leave you on
Speaker 3: this Friday with you our quote of the day, something
Speaker 3: we like for you to consider as you go into
Speaker 3: the weekend.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this one is time perfectly for what we were
Speaker 1: just talking about and the fact that it is Friday,
Speaker 1: we're about to head into the weekend. So here is
Speaker 1: our quote of the day. The most wasted of all
Speaker 1: days is one without laughter. This comes from a French
Speaker 1: writer from the seventeen hundreds, and it's pretty cool that
Speaker 1: even back then they understood you can be busy, you
Speaker 1: can be doing a bunch of If you aren't finding
Speaker 1: a way to enjoy your life, you have wasted a day.
Speaker 3: And so we haven't wasted today. We have been laughing
Speaker 3: this morning. Even this episode has gone longer than we
Speaker 3: anticipated because we have been laughing and having a good time.
Speaker 3: So hopefully you can get some laughs in today and
Speaker 3: this weekend. With that, folks, we always appreciate you running
Speaker 3: with us and I am Robock.
Speaker 2: Have a wonderful weekend.
Speaker 1: Mhm mm hmm
