But they were in line, in line for 17 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:43,960 Speaker 2: more than an hour, and she was actually concerned at 18 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,960 Speaker 2: one point that they were not going to take off 19 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:47,239 Speaker 2: at all. 20 00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:50,720 Speaker 1: So we have an alert.

We will get 25 00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,160 Speaker 1: into that. Want you to know it's always on that 26 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,480 Speaker 1: screen top right corner of your Apple podcast app says subscribe. 27 00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:11,880 Speaker 1: Click that button you can get our updates coming to you. 28 00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,520 Speaker 1: And we will start with air travel and related to that, 29 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,720 Speaker 1: Robes is shut down and uh oh, we've got some 30 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 1: news to report you. 31 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:21,440 Speaker 2: I mean, this is hopeful and we'll take anything we 32 00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:23,800 Speaker 2: can get in that department. Because yes, we begin our 33 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 2: run on this Monday with news that the shutdown might 34 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:32,160 Speaker 2: be over this week. Seriously, today is day forty one 35 00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:35,479 Speaker 2: in case you were counting. But a deal emerged over 36 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:39,120 Speaker 2: the weekend. See what happens when they stay in Washington 37 00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 2: and actually work. Okay, So a deal emerged over the 38 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,959 Speaker 2: weekend to reopen the government. That may allow everybody to 39 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 2: save some faith. So here's the plan. Pass a new 40 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 2: bill that would reopen and fund the government through January. 41 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 2: In exchange, Republicans will grant Democrats a vote on those 42 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,480 Speaker 2: healthcare subsidies at a later date. 43 00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:00,639 Speaker 1: Yah. So, actually the Democrats aren't getting what they wanted 44 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,080 Speaker 1: in this whole negotiation. The thing they were holding out 45 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,680 Speaker 1: forty one days for they actually ultimately are not getting. 46 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 1: But I heard a Democratic senator say this. If we 47 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,320 Speaker 1: hold out another few days, a few weeks, or few months, 48 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:14,680 Speaker 1: we're not going to get a better result. Man. 49 00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 2: Thank god someone opened their eyes and recognized or at 50 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 2: least read the room. 51 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 1: And couldn't have said it forty days ago. But still 52 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 1: here we go. Even if the Senate approves this thing immediately, 53 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 1: the House still has to come back and Speaker Johnson 54 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 1: has to wrangle everybody and see they can get it 55 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,680 Speaker 1: through the House. Then they get it to the President 56 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 1: and he says he'll sign it, but it is not guaranteed. 57 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,560 Speaker 1: What's going to happen to it in the House. All right, 58 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 1: we will continue here now. We just talked about the 59 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,640 Speaker 1: rough weekend it was for air travelers. It's expected to 60 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:50,080 Speaker 1: actually get worse this week. The government, sighting safety and 61 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:53,359 Speaker 1: a shortage of air traffic controllers, started requiring airlines, as 62 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 1: you know, to reduce their flight schedules. That started on Friday. 63 00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,520 Speaker 1: It's going to get worse, yeah, week. On Friday, it 64 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 1: began with a four percent reduction of flights. It goes 65 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,079 Speaker 1: up to ten percent by the end of this week. 66 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 1: And yes, thousands and thousands of delays over the weekend 67 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 1: and delays were hitting upwards of two to four hours 68 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:14,800 Speaker 1: at several major airports. And here's what Transportation Secretary Sean 69 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 1: Duffy said. He used the word trickle this weekend. He 70 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:22,120 Speaker 1: warned many people will not make it home for Thanksgiving, 71 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 1: saying air travel in the weeks before Turkey Day, air 72 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 1: travel will be reduced to a trickle. And my nineteen 73 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 1: year old who doesn't like to get up before ten am, 74 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 1: changed her flight while she was on her flight last night, 75 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 1: sitting on the tarmac waiting to take off to six 76 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 1: a m. To come home on Thanksgiving, because the flight 77 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 1: attendant told her that's your best shot at getting home 78 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 1: for Thanksgiving, So she on the plane changed her flight 79 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 1: to the first flight of the morning. Okay, we talked 80 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 1: about who's gonna get blamed for the shutdown? Now, who's 81 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 1: going to get blamed for me missing seeing my family 82 00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 1: for Thanksgiving? 83 00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 2: Exactly? 84 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 1: I's going to get blamed for Ah, this was the 85 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 1: last opportunity I had to spend with that relative. There 86 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 1: are some horrible stories going to take place. Who are 87 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 1: they going to blame for this? 88 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 2: Yeah? I mean, and think about the holidays and all 89 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 2: of the vacation travel that people take they save up 90 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,800 Speaker 2: for all year to be with friends and family. This 91 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 2: is and we have a lot of air travel coming 92 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 2: up too, so we'll keep you all updated on how 93 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 2: it goes for us. 94 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 1: Please tell me what that alert is on your phone. 95 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 1: This is in real time. She just got an alert 96 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,279 Speaker 1: on her phone from our airline for a flight we 97 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,360 Speaker 1: have to take here in the next couple of hours. 98 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 1: And we are panicked every time we see a notification, 99 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 1: and this one says, just. 100 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:37,720 Speaker 2: Keep telling us that it's on time. 101 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 1: All right. Then we will continue now on this morning 102 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 1: run with President Trump. He wants the SNAP money back. 103 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,559 Speaker 1: In the latest legal back and forth regarding the food 104 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 1: benefits program, the Trump administration is demanding that states that 105 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:57,360 Speaker 1: have already issued SNAP benefits for the month of November immediately, 106 00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:02,599 Speaker 1: in their words, undo those benefits. They want the money back. 107 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 2: Ropes, how's that going to happen? 108 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 1: Don't know, all right? 109 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,599 Speaker 2: Well, why the reversal. The administration was ordered by the 110 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 2: lower courts to fund the SNAP program using whatever emergency 111 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,840 Speaker 2: money they could find, but the Supreme Court stayed those 112 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:18,919 Speaker 2: earlier rulings, meaning they were voided, meaning in the administration's mind, 113 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,920 Speaker 2: that money that went out should never have gone out, 114 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:23,080 Speaker 2: and they want it back. 115 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 1: States are saying, this is going to ruin us if 116 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 1: you require us to give you this money back. I 117 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:29,200 Speaker 1: don't know if they're going to. You can't take it 118 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 1: back necessarily from the recipients. And I assume it's used 119 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:38,159 Speaker 1: but a refund. So states are sol in terms of 120 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:38,720 Speaker 1: their funds. 121 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 2: They have to dip into their emergency contingency funds. 122 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,479 Speaker 1: Oh my goodness. All right, continuing on the run here now, 123 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:48,240 Speaker 1: all this going on, President Trump takes care of his peeps, 124 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,920 Speaker 1: most notably one of his peeps being Rudy Giuliani. Yes, 125 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 1: the President has issued pardons to the former New York 126 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,599 Speaker 1: mayor and dozens of others who were all associated with 127 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:02,800 Speaker 1: a scheme to possibly the results of the twenty twenty election. 128 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 2: A lot of the names are not household names. Mark Meadows, 129 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,159 Speaker 2: Sidney Powell might ring a bell, but a total of 130 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 2: seventy two people were given pardons, most associated or even 131 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 2: charged in that Georgia case of alleged voter fraud. So 132 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,200 Speaker 2: the pardon language that was used here, it is the 133 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:27,600 Speaker 2: proclamation ends a grave national injustice perpetrated upon the American 134 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 2: people following the twenty twenty presidential election and continues the 135 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:36,920 Speaker 2: process of national reconciliation. He really and he hasn't let 136 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 2: this go. He brings this up all the time. And 137 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,119 Speaker 2: so he is now taking the extra step of making 138 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:47,839 Speaker 2: sure anyone that was charged or associated with anything to 139 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:51,719 Speaker 2: do with that twenty twenty election, he's got him home. 140 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 1: The other guy already served his term, and the President 141 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,840 Speaker 1: still will not conceive that election. He has still no 142 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 1: conceded that he lost to Joe Biden. 143 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,479 Speaker 2: Absolutely not. All right, Next up on the run, Let's 144 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 2: keep the President Trump train going. He attended the Washington 145 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 2: Commander's home game yesterday, and this is I didn't realize this. 146 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 2: Trump is the first sitting president to attend a regular 147 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 2: season NFL game in nearly fifty years. 148 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 1: Was he the first to attend a Super Bowl? 149 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 2: He was, Yes, So he's he's apparently he loved sports, all. 150 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,119 Speaker 1: Right, So, yeah, he was at this game, the Washington 151 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 1: Commander's game, which they lost miserably. Actually, but the President 152 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 1: was booed on a couple of occasions he was shown, 153 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 1: including he was actually there as part of a halftime 154 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:38,080 Speaker 1: ceremony honoring the military. Now the commanders, okayed a deal 155 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 1: and they're going to get a new stadium. We've been 156 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 1: talking about this, reporting about this, and Trump was kind 157 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 1: of involved in that and thought he might hold up 158 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:47,239 Speaker 1: the deal. But anyway, they get a new four billion 159 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 1: dollar stadium. 160 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:49,000 Speaker 2: Well ropes. 161 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 1: ESPN is reporting that President Trump wants the new stadium 162 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 1: for the Washington Commanders to be named Trump Stadium. 163 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 2: Why is that rising to anyone? I said it like, 164 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 2: I'll build up you did, and I was like, duh, 165 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 2: that would have been my first guest. Yes.

Well, 174 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 1: a conversation is taking place, but what would that mean? 175 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 1: Who would have to make that decision? 176 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 2: Who okays that, yeah, I don't know that? 177 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,720 Speaker 1: Can this? What can he hold over them to say 178 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:45,520 Speaker 1: you do this or I'll give you this, or what 179 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 1: deal can be made for him to have his name 180 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 1: on that. 181 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:51,520 Speaker 2: Oh, I'm sure he has plenty of strings that he 182 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 2: can pull. 183 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,680 Speaker 1: Continuing on this Monday morning, run now UPS and FedEx 184 00:08:56,160 --> 00:09:00,720 Speaker 1: are grounding their fleet of MD eleven airplane out of 185 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 1: an abundance of caution. I MD eleven, You're not immediately 186 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:05,880 Speaker 1: sure exactly what that is. This is what we should 187 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,800 Speaker 1: know is that this particular type of plane it was 188 00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,520 Speaker 1: the one involved in that fiery crash in Louisville last 189 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 1: week that killed fourteen. 190 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:16,679 Speaker 2: The companies had already voluntarily grounded their fleets, but the 191 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,680 Speaker 2: FAA has taken the step of issuing an order, saying 192 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:23,280 Speaker 2: the agency has determined the unsafe condition is likely to 193 00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:27,160 Speaker 2: exist or develop in other products of the same type design. 194 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,439 Speaker 2: We are assessing any potential safety issues and we'll ensure 195 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 2: appropriate corrective actions are taken. I mean, that's scary stuff 196 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,440 Speaker 2: to think, just the image you mentioned of seeing an 197 00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:40,640 Speaker 2: engine like or just we don't know what happened, but 198 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 2: certainly that is good news to know that they are 199 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 2: taking that next step. 200 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,480 Speaker 1: The line jumped out at me. They determined the unsafe 201 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 1: condition is likely. 202 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:51,240 Speaker 2: That's scary exists. 203 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:53,840 Speaker 1: In other planes. All right, continue to here on the run, folks. 204 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:58,520 Speaker 1: This time it's baseball. We have another bribe gambling scandal, 205 00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 1: this time in Major League Baseball. Two major league pitchers 206 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:06,440 Speaker 1: are facing federal indictments accused of taking brides. Both of 207 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,560 Speaker 1: these players play for the Cleveland Guardians Pictures a manual 208 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:13,240 Speaker 1: class and Luis or Tees. They're both accused of taking 209 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 1: money from betters in exchange for throwing certain types of 210 00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:21,920 Speaker 1: pitcheses they described some of these. It was a lot 211 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 1: of times on the first pitch because they could determine 212 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:25,880 Speaker 1: exactly what they wanted to do, but they would throw 213 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:30,080 Speaker 1: it into the ground, throw a ball intentionally, or throw 214 00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:33,160 Speaker 1: a certain speed, and then the betters were making prop 215 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:35,960 Speaker 1: bets these things. Jump out, who's making a prop bet? 216 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,480 Speaker 1: I bet he throws under ninety six point two miles. 217 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 1: And so this is how it got called. 218 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:45,200 Speaker 2: Well, both pitchers had already been on leave from Major 219 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:49,400 Speaker 2: League Baseball after the league discovered what it calls unusual 220 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:53,719 Speaker 2: betting activities surrounding the two pitchers, and they alerted federal authorities. 221 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:56,800 Speaker 2: Or Teas was arrested in Boston on Sunday. Class was 222 00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,840 Speaker 2: not in custody as of this recording. But the puzzling 223 00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:02,600 Speaker 2: thing about this, as it was the same case with 224 00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:07,040 Speaker 2: the NBA situation, is why are men who are making millions, 225 00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:11,680 Speaker 2: multi million dollar deals risking their careers and their freedom 226 00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:16,040 Speaker 2: for a couple thousand dollars here, a couple thousand dollars there. 227 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:18,839 Speaker 1: And yes, to your point, they were making four to 228 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 1: ten eleven thousand dollars on these pitches, and a lot 229 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,600 Speaker 1: of the money went back to they said, Dominican Republic, 230 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:25,640 Speaker 1: according to authorities, to where these guys are from, to 231 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:28,880 Speaker 1: family or whatever else. But that's where the trends. But 232 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,360 Speaker 1: we're talking four hundred and fifty thousand dollars over the 233 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:35,280 Speaker 1: past during this scheme, so not a huge amount of 234 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:38,360 Speaker 1: money compared to what these guys were making. All right, 235 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,840 Speaker 1: continuing here now next on the run a legend of 236 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,720 Speaker 1: the NBA, A class Act of the NBA, and that 237 00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:47,960 Speaker 1: NBA family is mourning Lenny Wilkins. He has died at 238 00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:51,720 Speaker 1: the age of eighty eight. Lenny Wilkins was a standout 239 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 1: point guard in the seventies and early eighties. Much of 240 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 1: that time he spent playing with the Seattle Supersons. 241 00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:00,080 Speaker 2: But after an All Star career. He had an all 242 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 2: star coaching career, including winning an NBA Championship. He's a 243 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:07,120 Speaker 2: three time Hall of Famer as a player, as a 244 00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,360 Speaker 2: coach and Dream Team assistant. 245 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 1: Okay, this is most people just would love to go 246 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:13,400 Speaker 1: to the Hall of Fame. He's in the Hall of 247 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,840 Speaker 1: Fame as a player. Then he was good enough to 248 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:18,439 Speaker 1: be one of the greatest coaches ever to go into 249 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:20,520 Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame. Then the Dream Team with Jordan 250 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,400 Speaker 1: and bird Magic, he was an assistant coach on that team. 251 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 1: That whole team is in the He's a three time 252 00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:28,240 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame back. Wow. So yes, he is really 253 00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:30,839 Speaker 1: known as one of the class class acts of the NBA. 254 00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:33,319 Speaker 1: So he is going to be missed, he said. They 255 00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:36,120 Speaker 1: didn't say how he died, but surrounded by family. That's 256 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:38,080 Speaker 1: all you ever want to hear. We'll stay with us here, 257 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 1: folks on this Monday morning, run the most terrifying story 258 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,640 Speaker 1: of the morning for Roeboch. They just recalled a thousand 259 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:44,439 Speaker 1: bottles of. 260 00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:46,440 Speaker 2: Proseconds one thousand, you mean a million? 261 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:48,559 Speaker 1: You know what? See how I quickly got corrected. She 262 00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:50,199 Speaker 1: wouldn't be concerned about a thousand. We have that in 263 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:54,520 Speaker 1: the closet. But a million bottles of prosecco have been recalled. 264 00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:59,200 Speaker 1: Will explain what's happening there? And America's tree is in place, 265 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 1: it's there. It's a million bottles, folks, It's not a thousand. 266 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:15,319 Speaker 1: As we continue on this Monday morning run, we wouldn't 267 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:17,719 Speaker 1: it wouldn't even be a blip on the radar if 268 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,360 Speaker 1: a thousand bottles of prosecco were recalled. No, no, no, no, 269 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,400 Speaker 1: but a million, and you got our attention. Yes, they 270 00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:27,559 Speaker 1: are being recalled. Why would prosecco be recalled if something 271 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:30,720 Speaker 1: get into it? Is something mixed into the actual proseco. No, 272 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:34,079 Speaker 1: the prosecco ropes is apparently good. It's the bottle that's 273 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:34,720 Speaker 1: the problem. 274 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:39,280 Speaker 2: Yes, they're being recalled for a potential laceration hazard. Whoah, 275 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:43,439 Speaker 2: that does not sound fun. The prosecco in question Kirkland 276 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:47,200 Speaker 2: brand prosecco sold at Costco. That is a very popular brand. 277 00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 2: The recall says the bottles can break or shatter, causing 278 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:55,480 Speaker 2: a laceration hazard. At least ten incidents have been reported, 279 00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:59,200 Speaker 2: one injury. There was a similar recall a few months 280 00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 2: ago on this product. So I wonder if it's the 281 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:03,280 Speaker 2: same issue. 282 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:05,719 Speaker 1: I think that one, and I think I might have 283 00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:07,679 Speaker 1: misspoken with the way I wrote it in here. It 284 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,640 Speaker 1: was a similar alert. They told people to bring it back, 285 00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:12,160 Speaker 1: but it wasn't officially recalled. 286 00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:15,080 Speaker 2: Yes, I remember that because I thought, well, think we 287 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,200 Speaker 2: don't have I love Costco, we just don't have one 288 00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:18,840 Speaker 2: available to us, because if we did, I would have 289 00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:21,280 Speaker 2: been checking the fridge. It would have been highly likely 290 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 2: we would have had a bottle of that in the fridge. 291 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,520 Speaker 1: But they were telling folks at that time, don't open 292 00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:27,720 Speaker 1: I'm trying drink, don't even bring it back to the store. Yes, 293 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,560 Speaker 1: that was that moment. So now this same stuff, they've 294 00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:32,640 Speaker 1: had to take the extra step because apparently it has 295 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,760 Speaker 1: kept happening and the dang thing can explode. 296 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:39,400 Speaker 2: Apparently that is not how you want to enjoy your prosecco. 297 00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:42,119 Speaker 1: All right, final leg of the run here. Now America's 298 00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:46,400 Speaker 1: Christmas Tree is in place. The Rockefeller Christmas Tree arrived 299 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:49,200 Speaker 1: this weekend. Roase, you were very excited about this store 300 00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:51,600 Speaker 1: when we first found out where the tree was coming from. 301 00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:53,320 Speaker 1: And now this is this is always a big deal 302 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:53,720 Speaker 1: in New York. 303 00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:55,880 Speaker 2: I do you know it's a sign of the Times. 304 00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,480 Speaker 2: The season is upon us. It does. We're starting to 305 00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:01,920 Speaker 2: see Christmas lights and Christmas decks all over the place. 306 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:04,920 Speaker 2: Haven't heard Christmas music yet, but that is coming. Okay, 307 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:08,160 Speaker 2: you've heard it already. This is a seventy five foot 308 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:12,760 Speaker 2: Norway spruce. They found the tree in East green Bush, 309 00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:16,960 Speaker 2: New York. It's a suburb of albany An eleven Ton tree. 310 00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,240 Speaker 2: I believe they cut it down over the weekend. It's 311 00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:21,800 Speaker 2: a two day trek as they bring it all the 312 00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:24,800 Speaker 2: way into Times Square. What a journey that is to 313 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:28,080 Speaker 2: bring that tree into the middle of New York City. 314 00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:30,800 Speaker 2: It's the tradition started in nineteen thirty one. 315 00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:32,400 Speaker 1: I did not know this until this morning. 316 00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:35,360 Speaker 2: This is really cool. Construction workers put up a tree 317 00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:39,600 Speaker 2: to lift the spirits of folks in Manhattan during the 318 00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:43,440 Speaker 2: Great Depression. That is. I mean, it's a cool story 319 00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:45,600 Speaker 2: that came out of a tough time. But I love 320 00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:48,320 Speaker 2: that we're still doing it. Each year. It's celebrated the 321 00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:50,880 Speaker 2: amount of folks. I mean, we tend to avoid Rockefeller 322 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:53,400 Speaker 2: Center this time of year. I used to work you 323 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:54,200 Speaker 2: did too, at NBC. 324 00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:54,520 Speaker 1: Right. 325 00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:57,040 Speaker 2: This was a difficult time getting into work, but it 326 00:15:57,040 --> 00:16:00,880 Speaker 2: always felt festive. It's cool to see people from all 327 00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:04,680 Speaker 2: over the world to see the tree, to take pictures 328 00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:06,880 Speaker 2: around the tree. It's just a cool tradition. So yes, 329 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:08,160 Speaker 2: it's Christmas season. 330 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,440 Speaker 1: I like it better now, just to think a couple 331 00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:12,880 Speaker 1: of guys wanted to make folks feel better during a 332 00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:15,000 Speaker 1: really awful time for this country, and it's turned into 333 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:18,200 Speaker 1: something that's lasted one hundred years.
