1
00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:04,640
Speaker 1: Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast.

2
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:11,080
Speaker 2: Good morning everybody on this Wednesday, January first, just the

3
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:14,600
Speaker 2: first day of twenty twenty five. Happy new year to

4
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:17,560
Speaker 2: you all, and welcome to the Morning Run.

5
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:21,959
Speaker 1: I'm Tjil and I'm Amy Roeboch and on this new year. Unfortunately,

6
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 1: we have some breaking news to report at this hour.

7
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:27,200
Speaker 1: These are the latest numbers, but the breaking news is

8
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 1: out of New Orleans, ten people are dead. At least

9
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:33,879
Speaker 1: ten people are dead and thirty others injured after a

10
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:38,479
Speaker 1: reportedly a man behind the wheel of a truck drove

11
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 1: through celebrations around three o'clock in the morning overnight on

12
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 1: Bourbon Street and plowed into a crowd of partygoers and

13
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 1: according to some witnesses, got out of the truck then

14
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:53,520
Speaker 1: and opened fire.

15
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 2: So what we're looking at, folks in New Orleans right

16
00:00:55,600 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 2: now is a major tragedy on the first day of

17
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 2: the new year. As you can imagine where they say

18
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 2: this happens, the area of Canal and Bourbon Street. You

19
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 2: cannot get more New Orleans and busier on most nights

20
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,479
Speaker 2: even but you throw in what was certainly a celebratory

21
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 2: night last night, and you also throw into the matter

22
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 2: of there is a very big event happening there in

23
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:22,319
Speaker 2: New Orleans today. They're at the Superdome, the Sugar Bowl

24
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:25,199
Speaker 2: taking place between Georgia and Notre Dame. You know, those

25
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 2: fans travel and travel well, so a lot of them

26
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 2: were certainly in town last night and partying as well.

27
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 2: But on what was going to be where it was

28
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 2: a busy and celebratory and fun and often a crazy

29
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,839
Speaker 2: night in New Orleans has turned into what we're getting

30
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 2: so far as an awful tragedy.

31
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 1: It's chilling, to say the very least. And to know

32
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 1: that police were obviously on gooard the guard. They said

33
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 1: they were fully staffed for New Year's Eve and for

34
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: the Sugar Bowl, which is just a huge event for

35
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 1: that city. So an additional three hundred offers off, we're

36
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 1: already on duty. And here's the concerning part about what

37
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 1: may happen in the hours to come. The person behind

38
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 1: the wheel of that truck and the person behind that

39
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:14,080
Speaker 1: gun that was reported is at large. He has not

40
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 1: been taken into custody right now, so he remains on

41
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: the loose, according to the latest reports. And that's a

42
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,919
Speaker 1: serious concern with all that's going on in that city today.

43
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,919
Speaker 2: And the Homeland Security and Emergency preparedness folks there out

44
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,359
Speaker 2: of New Orleans did put out a statement. There were

45
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 2: trying to update people, but initially it was a mash

46
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 2: casualty event and then they put out the official word

47
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 2: and this is what the statement said. The eighth District

48
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 2: is currently working a mass casualty incident involving a vehicle

49
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 2: that drove into a large crowd on Canal and Bourbon Street.

50
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 2: There are thirty injured patients that have been transported to

51
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 2: hospitals and ten fatalities. Public safety partners are responding on

52
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 2: seeing updates will follow as they are received. Again, that

53
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 2: is the latest as of this recording this morning, but

54
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,919
Speaker 2: this is going to be a developing story throughout the day,

55
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 2: which looks like has now just been an ugly, ugly

56
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 2: incident on what was supposed to be a celebratory and

57
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,839
Speaker 2: page turning night for a lot of folks looking forward

58
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 2: to better times. And this is the way folks are

59
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 2: going to have to start the new year.

60
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:19,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is unfortunate news to report, but we do

61
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,639
Speaker 1: have more on today's run. The clock strikes midnight as

62
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 1: lightning strikes New York and lights out in Puerto Rico,

63
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 1: plus some shocking news from a Grand Slam tennis champ,

64
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 1: a new wicked record, and she ran a marathon a

65
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 1: day every day for an entire year. That is remarkable.

66
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm having an issue with my toe because I

67
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 2: ran one marathon several months ago. So I'm really really

68
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 2: curious about this woman. We'll get into that, but we'll

69
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 2: be honest with you. Just a short time ago, before

70
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 2: we started this recording, I asked Robot, hey, should we

71
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 2: close the doors so people can't hear the waves crashing

72
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 2: as we record this. Well, we did this because we

73
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 2: didn't want to make the four folks who were in

74
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 2: Times Square feel too bad from what happened last night.

75
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 2: Those poor party goers got soaked in Times Square last night. Yes,

76
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 2: the weather folks got it right. They predicted rain, and

77
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 2: sure enough, in the hours leading up to midnight, there

78
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 2: were downpours in the city and it drenched the estimated

79
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 2: one million people who gathered in New York City in

80
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,600
Speaker 2: Times Square for that famous annual tradition.

81
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: And unfortunately, those folks had limited protection from the rain

82
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:36,039
Speaker 1: because umbrellas are not allowed in the secure area, so

83
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 1: people had to depend on ponchos, So yes, you can't

84
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: have umbrellas for a lot of reasons, safety included, So yes,

85
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 1: they just had to let the rain fall on top

86
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 1: of them. And it wasn't just rain, by the way,

87
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 1: there was thunder and lightning in the area for much

88
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 1: of the night, and that forced cancelations of some festivities

89
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 1: around the city, some beloved ones.

90
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, and one you don't actually see, but if you're

91
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 2: in New York, and certainly if you're you're familiar with

92
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 2: this one. It's the Midnight Run in Central Park. It's

93
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 2: put on by New York road Runners, the same folks

94
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 2: who handle the marathon there in New York. But they

95
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:12,479
Speaker 2: had to cancel this fun tradition because of lightning strikes

96
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 2: in the area. It's a four mile run that starts

97
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 2: right before midnight, so you're actually running in the middle

98
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 2: of a race when the New Year starts. It usually

99
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 2: is a company by fireworks, and they had to cancel it.

100
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,719
Speaker 1: I have always wanted to do it, you know, Nikki,

101
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 1: my best friend, she did it last year and said

102
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,279
Speaker 1: it was one of the best experiences of her life.

103
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 1: Hoot a copy used to do it all the time,

104
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 1: so that's always been on my bucket list. That is

105
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 1: such a huge disappointment for so many folks.

106
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 2: Maybe next year for us on that one. But the

107
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 2: New Year's Eve celebration in Prospect Park as well over

108
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,280
Speaker 2: in Brooklyn had to be canceled. They said it was

109
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 2: the first time in forty four years they haven't had

110
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 2: fireworks there. So it was yes, on TV, it looked

111
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 2: like they were just a downpour. They were getting drenched,

112
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 2: but there were some actually dangerous conditions that cause the

113
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:01,040
Speaker 2: cancel a of some things in Europe.

114
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, and we do have to give credit to all

115
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 1: the people in Times Square who didn't let that rain,

116
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: they didn't let the thunder and lightning get in the

117
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 1: way of a good party.

118
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:10,919
Speaker 3: And it seems like it's that way every year for

119
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:11,600
Speaker 3: I mean.

120
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 1: I spent I think I said, seven eight years in

121
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:17,239
Speaker 1: a row down in Times Square, and you could get anything.

122
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 1: You could get beautiful weather, you could get snow. We

123
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,720
Speaker 1: had record cold one time where it was actually below

124
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 1: zero actual temp, and it didn't stop people from having

125
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 1: a good time. They were bundled up, they were happy.

126
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,599
Speaker 1: You know, there's no alcohol down there, So this is people.

127
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:33,719
Speaker 1: These are people who've gathered just to be a part

128
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,039
Speaker 1: of history and to ring in the new year, and

129
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 1: there's always joy, always, but.

130
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 2: There's suffering in there because they can't get to a bathroom.

131
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 2: They're usually struggling. But this is where I give folks credit.

132
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 2: This is an experience they'll be able to talk about

133
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:48,600
Speaker 2: the rest of their lives that we able to say, Hey,

134
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,159
Speaker 2: you remember the downpour of twenty twenty four. I was there.

135
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 2: They'll have that story.

136
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 1: And by the way, you know, we were ringing in

137
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:56,559
Speaker 1: the New Year, but we were some of the last

138
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 1: people in the world where we are in the world

139
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 1: to ring in twenty twenty five based on all those

140
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 1: time zones.

141
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's cool sometimes to watch TV during the day

142
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 2: and see kind of this cascade. It kind of starts rolling.

143
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 2: You see different countries and cities start to have their

144
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 2: New Year celebration, New Zealand and Australia. Famously, we're used

145
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 2: to seeing Australia first with Sydney. There a big fireworks

146
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 2: display over the Opera House there, so we saw those.

147
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 2: But the first, the very first country to ring in

148
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five, I did not know this is Kirabos, Yes,

149
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 2: kira Bos.

150
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 3: Where is that? Yes?

151
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 2: An island nation in the Pacific, in the Oceanic so

152
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 2: it's down there. But they're fifteen hours ahead of us. Okay,

153
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 2: So at what seven am Eastern time, they were ringing

154
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 2: in the new year.

155
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 3: Oh my goodness, and we.

156
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 2: Were just waking up over here. But yes, they were

157
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 2: the first to do so. We saw traditional celebrations all

158
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 2: over the world. Some had to be muted, of course,

159
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 2: places like Kiev and Ukraine still had celebrations, but also

160
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 2: in South Korea a lot of celebrations were canceled. And

161
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 2: it's probably the right thing to do there in honor

162
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 2: of the victims of that deadly plane crash that was

163
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 2: just days ago. So for the most part, I guess

164
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 2: went off without a hitch. Times Square did what it

165
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 2: always does, which seems like it's not just normal. It

166
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 2: has to be an extreme of some kind.

167
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 3: It's so true.

168
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 1: But again, all of the fun traditions followed, and the ball,

169
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 1: the ball's being retired.

170
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't realize this is the last year we're

171
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 2: going to see this particular one. They're doing an updated

172
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 2: version for the Times if you will. It's going to

173
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 2: be a little more high tech, oh the one. But

174
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 2: this was the last year, we're going to see that ball.

175
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,680
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, I mean a party was had by all,

176
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 1: and that's a good thing. Next up on the run, Well,

177
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 1: I said by all that was in New York City.

178
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,200
Speaker 1: Perhaps it was not such a good start to the

179
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: new year. In Puerto Rico. Nearly ninety percent of that island,

180
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,679
Speaker 1: that is, about one point three million people were without

181
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 1: power yesterday, just as everyone was preparing.

182
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 3: To ring in the new year.

183
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 2: And ads of last night, at least nine pm yesterday,

184
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 2: half of Puerto Ricans were still in the dark. And

185
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 2: as of this recording, we got about twenty five percent

186
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 2: of the island waking up on New Year's Day without power.

187
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 2: This outage hit at dawn on New Year's Eve. Lights,

188
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:15,200
Speaker 2: electrical appliances, air conditioners, everything shut down. It's kind of

189
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 2: an eerie silence and darkness over an entire island.

190
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:19,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right.

191
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,080
Speaker 1: There's pictures and videos showing and it really is eerie.

192
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 1: Luma Energy, that's the private company that oversees Puerto Rico's

193
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 1: electricity or electrical grid, says the outage was caused by

194
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:32,959
Speaker 1: a failure of an underground power line. They say they

195
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,680
Speaker 1: are investigating the incident, but there's a growing number of

196
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 1: people who were outraged and upset about this, including the

197
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 1: new governor who's going to be sworn into office tomorrow. Well,

198
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 1: they're all demanding answers. They've called for an energy Zar

199
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 1: to be created to review the situation because well, let's

200
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 1: just say, this isn't the first time this has happened.

201
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,680
Speaker 1: It was just a very inopportune time, just as the

202
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 1: country was getting ready to celebrate new.

203
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 2: Governor going to be sworn in tomorrow via candlelight. Really,

204
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 2: it's gonna be great. The line that you got in

205
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 2: there for me underground power line, the failure calls by

206
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 2: an underground power line. Obviously we're late people. It's more

207
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,199
Speaker 2: complicated than that. But to think that there is one

208
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 2: line of some kind that can knock out the entire place,

209
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,559
Speaker 2: that's just again, late person. We obviously it's more complicated.

210
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 2: It's just how can this happen?

211
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 3: It doesn't make sense.

212
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 1: And this is an island obviously that's been had some

213
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 1: very difficult hurricanes, including Hurricane Maria et cetera, and recent

214
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:29,319
Speaker 1: ones that have caused more power outages. But you'd think

215
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 1: by burying the lines and creating these underground systems. You're

216
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 1: actually creating a safer system that's not going to be

217
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 1: as subject to weather and winds and all of that.

218
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:42,320
Speaker 1: But well, still trying to figure out what went wrong.

219
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,079
Speaker 1: Of course, I'm sure they'll find out, and we.

220
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 2: Should say infrastructure sometimes on the island, so that's not

221
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 2: what we're used to expect sometimes, so who knows. It's incredible.

222
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 2: Hopefully they get all the lights on soon. But this

223
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 2: next one here on our run came as certainly a shocker,

224
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 2: but it's also an inspiring story. Now, and this is

225
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 2: from the Tennis World where Paris Olympic bronze medalist and

226
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:08,199
Speaker 2: three time Grand Slam champ Gabriella Dobrowski announced she has

227
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:11,679
Speaker 2: been battling breast cancer and she was doing it while

228
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 2: competing and winning at the highest levels of tennis.

229
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is an incredible story. Dobrovsky detailed her journey

230
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 1: on social media yesterday. She acknowledged first of all the

231
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 1: shock of the news and first and foremost wanted to

232
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 1: tell everyone she is okay and will be okay. After

233
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 1: she was diagnosed in April, she briefly took a break

234
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:34,199
Speaker 1: from tennis to have two cancer related surgeries She then

235
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 1: returned to the court in June, where she and her

236
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 1: partner won the women's doubles at Rothse Nottingham.

237
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:41,959
Speaker 3: I hope I said that correctly.

238
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, and a thirt two year old, she's a doubles player.

239
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:50,199
Speaker 2: She paused her cancer treatment so she could compete at

240
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,680
Speaker 2: Wimbledon and the Olympics. You get what I'm saying here,

241
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 2: Go compete at the highest levels, Go have cancer treatment,

242
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 2: go back compete at the higher level. She planned it

243
00:11:57,679 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 2: out like this. She and her partner finished as runner

244
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 2: up at Wimbledon and then clinched a bronze in mixed

245
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 2: doubles at Parents.

246
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 3: Yeah.

247
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:06,560
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a remarkable story and one that

248
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 1: I hope every woman is listening to.

249
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:09,080
Speaker 3: She said.

250
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 1: She found her lump during a self exam in the

251
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 1: spring of twenty twenty three, so that was well over

252
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 1: a year ago. Her doctor, I'm sure because of her age,

253
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 1: told her it's nothing to worry about, so she did

254
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,719
Speaker 1: nothing until a year later when she felt that the

255
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 1: lump had gotten even bigger. So that's when she went

256
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:29,960
Speaker 1: in and got a mammogram, an ultrasound, and eventually a

257
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 1: biopsy that led to her breast cancer. Diagnosis, and she

258
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 1: wanted to share her story because she said this, and

259
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:39,840
Speaker 1: I'm a believer of this as well. Early detection saves lives,

260
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 1: and these are the types of stories that push women

261
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 1: to go and get the tests that they need.

262
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 2: Well. She wanted to tell her story and wanted it

263
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 2: to help, but she did take a little delay in

264
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 2: telling her story. She says she wanted to handle things

265
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 2: privately first before exposing herself to all the attention she

266
00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:01,199
Speaker 2: knew this would bring. Dobroski said about where she is now,

267
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 2: and I'm quoting currently, I'm in a place where I

268
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,840
Speaker 2: have a better grasp on my treatment side effects and

269
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,960
Speaker 2: how to manage them. Please know, I am fully aware

270
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 2: of how lucky I am as well, because many do

271
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 2: not get the luxury of being able to tell their

272
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 2: story at all well and beautifully.

273
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,679
Speaker 1: Yes, I applaud Dabrovsky for coming forward and for taking

274
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 1: her time. You know, you don't have to tell everybody

275
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 1: you're going what you're going through when you're going through it.

276
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 1: She needed to do things on her timeline, and not everyone.

277
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:30,679
Speaker 3: Has to share their story.

278
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,320
Speaker 1: But I do just want to thank Dabrovski and all

279
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 1: the other brave women who do because it does change

280
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 1: people's habits and it does save lives.

281
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:39,680
Speaker 3: So we wish her the very best.

282
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 2: All right, folks, as we continue on this first day

283
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:46,960
Speaker 2: of twenty twenty five edition of Morning Run. When we

284
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 2: come back, there's one woman who is really glad that

285
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,079
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four is over.

286
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,679
Speaker 1: Welcome back to Morning Run on this first day of

287
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,559
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. And next up on the run, how

288
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 1: about some major running inspiration for the new year. Belgian

289
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 1: ultra runner fifty five year old Hill did Dsne crossed

290
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 1: her last finished line for the for twenty twenty four yesterday,

291
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 1: her three hundred and sixty fifth finish line in one year.

292
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 1: And then I mentioned it was a marathon finish line.

293
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 3: Yes, you heard us correctly.

294
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 2: I just don't know how this is physically possible. But

295
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 2: Disney is hoping to officially take the world record as

296
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 2: the first woman to run a marathon every single day

297
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 2: of the year. Hoping because she actually has to provide proof,

298
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 2: like a lot of proof that she did what she

299
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 2: says she's done. Now she'll have to file GPS data,

300
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 2: she has to give Voto photo and video evidence, and

301
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 2: she even needs witness reports that's a lot of stuff.

302
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, independent witness reports. After reviewing all of that evidence,

303
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 1: the Guinness World Records organized will approve her submission and

304
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 1: then the record should officially be hers in about three months.

305
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 1: So this is one of my favorite parts of the story.

306
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 1: As Desne crossed this final finish line yesterday on New

307
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 1: Year's Eve to cheers and celebrations, and I have to say,

308
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 1: she looked really weary and you can only imagine why.

309
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 1: This was her quote, I'm glad it's over.

310
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 2: I don't know how she I just don't know. As

311
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 2: people who run and as marathoners, I don't know how

312
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 2: you could do this every single day for even a week,

313
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 2: much less for a year. But she give her credit

314
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 2: for this here. She's raised more than sixty thousand dollars

315
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 2: for breast cancer research throughout this process, so applaud her

316
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 2: for doing that. There's one Brazilian man who ows the

317
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 2: record of running a marathon three hundred and sixty six

318
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 2: days in a row, but the current record for a

319
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 2: woman is in Australia, it's one hundred and fifty days.

320
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 2: So if this is approved, she's blown that record out

321
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 2: of the water. Why not if you're three hundred and

322
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 2: sixty five. Just run the one more and beat the

323
00:15:58,960 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 2: man's record as well.

324
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know, you know, I was

325
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 1: really doing a deep dive into what she said the

326
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 1: hardest part was. And look, she went through several illnesses,

327
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 1: she had to fight off the flu covid nineteen, she

328
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 1: crashed into people, and some of these races that she

329
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 1: did where she had some injuries. But she said the

330
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 1: hardest not the blisters, not the bruises. She said the

331
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 1: brain took the toughest beating because the mental strain for

332
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 1: her was so difficult. She went to work every day

333
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 1: and then she's a bioengineer at a chemical firm, and

334
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 1: in the afternoon she would run for four hours around

335
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 1: like almost all of her marathons every day were around

336
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 1: this same track. I can so talking about the mental

337
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 1: strength to get through that is mind blowing.

338
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 3: But she said she took an easy page.

339
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 1: She didn't run too quickly, but still I don't care

340
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 1: how slowly or quickly you run it. That's a remarkable feat.

341
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 1: You're just like, uh huh uh huh. Well, kudos to her,

342
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 1: and that's a record hard earned. Next up on the run,

343
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:05,359
Speaker 1: let's keep talking about breaking records. After more than a

344
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:09,200
Speaker 1: month in theaters, Wicked has set a new box office record,

345
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:13,399
Speaker 1: becoming the highest grossing film based on a Broadway musical ever.

346
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:15,960
Speaker 1: The previous record holder was Mama Mia. That was back

347
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 1: in two thousand and eight. It grossed six hundred and

348
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:20,920
Speaker 1: eleven million dollars worldwide.

349
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:23,040
Speaker 2: So Wicked is sitting at six hundred and thirty five

350
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 2: million and still counting.

351
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:25,160
Speaker 3: Now.

352
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:29,200
Speaker 2: This could have an impact possibly on Broadway based movies.

353
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:32,920
Speaker 2: Many having done so great at the box office in

354
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:36,680
Speaker 2: The Heights, Kats, West Side Story, Deer Avan Hanson all

355
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 2: failed to make big money through in the question the

356
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 2: ability of some of these types of shows to survive

357
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:41,960
Speaker 2: on the big screen.

358
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 1: So Wicked is changing all of that. A big relief

359
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 1: to people who love movie musicals like myself, and this

360
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 1: is pretty cool. It's on its way to become one

361
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:54,160
Speaker 1: of the biggest hit films of the year right now.

362
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 1: It's sitting at number six and it's the only film

363
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 1: in the top six that isn't a sequel, which is

364
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 1: kind of funny. To the top are Dune Part two,

365
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:06,719
Speaker 1: Mahana two, Despicable Me for Deadpool, and Wolverine and Inside

366
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 1: Out too, So way to go Wicked, and it's still counting,

367
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 1: so they're still getting people.

368
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 3: I need to go to the theaters to see it

369
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 3: for a sing along?

370
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 2: For what singalong?

371
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:19,400
Speaker 3: I'd love to go to the singalong one?

372
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:23,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, y'all enjoy that one. Is it just because

373
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 2: Wicked is so beloved that it did better than In

374
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:29,239
Speaker 2: the Heights Cats? Or is it the quality of the

375
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 2: film that was made?

376
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:32,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. I mean the same director in

377
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:35,359
Speaker 1: The Heights for Wicked, so some of the same people

378
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 1: involved in the production. But it is a beloved story

379
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:39,359
Speaker 1: and I do think that has a lot to do

380
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 1: with it. And of course they did it beautifully and perfectly.

381
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 1: From everyone who I know who's seen it, has loved

382
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 1: it and has seen it multiple times.

383
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 2: Right, folks, Well, as you go about your first day

384
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 2: of twenty twenty five, there is something we like you

385
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 2: to consider. It's our quote of the day.

386
00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:59,160
Speaker 1: I can't wait to hear the story behind this one.

387
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 1: The quote of the day is, good girls go to Heaven,

388
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 1: Bad girls go everywhere.

389
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 2: Okay, I don't know why this was in my file.

390
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 2: This was I cannot believe. I don't Remember this was

391
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 2: said by someone really famous, a really famous woman, and

392
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:18,200
Speaker 2: I can't remember why, but she was telling that. Whatever

393
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:20,919
Speaker 2: story she was telling was that, yes, I'm here to

394
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 2: be a disruptor. Yes, I don't mean to follow your

395
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:26,920
Speaker 2: rules of what I'm supposed to do or how I'm

396
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 2: supposed to behave. And you know it, there's an upside

397
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 2: to that. I get these experiences. I get to go everywhere.

398
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:36,159
Speaker 2: Good girls go to heaven, bad girls go everywhere. And

399
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 2: I see you typing and looking it up. Well, I

400
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 2: can't remember.

401
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 3: I'm laughing because.

402
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:43,920
Speaker 1: I googled it and the first thing that came up

403
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 1: is that it's a meatloaf song. So I'm gonna have

404
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:50,920
Speaker 1: to listen to that one and maybe we can all

405
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,719
Speaker 1: do that today. And oh, May West, May West said it.

406
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 3: There you go.

Speaker 1: That's perfect, May West, and that is uh, that is
