1
00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:05,160
Speaker 1: Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast.

2
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:10,879
Speaker 2: Hey there everybody, it is Thursday, October thirty first, Happy

3
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:11,800
Speaker 2: Halloween to you.

4
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:14,680
Speaker 1: I'm Tjhilks and I'm Amy Roboch. Thank you so much

5
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 1: for coming along for this Thursday Morning run with us.

6
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:21,640
Speaker 2: And on today's Spooky Run. The campaign trail has been

7
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 2: full of garbage talk this week. It continued yesterday with

8
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 2: Kamala Harris trying to distance herself from President Biden's comment

9
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 2: while Trump hit the streets in a garbage truck.

10
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:35,159
Speaker 1: Also on this morning run, the governor of California is

11
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 1: now being formally asked to get involved and get the

12
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 1: Menendez brothers out of prison.

13
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:42,919
Speaker 2: Plus, this morning, more cases of E coli have been

14
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 2: linked to that outbreak at McDonald's.

15
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:47,880
Speaker 1: And here in New York, a grand jury is meeting

16
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:51,200
Speaker 1: today to consider more charges against Sean Diddy Combes.

17
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, in Philadelphia, Elon Musk has been ordered to court

18
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 2: today and could be ordered to stop giving away those

19
00:00:57,920 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 2: million dollar prizes to swing Boat.

20
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 1: And the Dodgers are World Series champs after an epic

21
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 1: and historic collapse by the Yankees in Game five. But

22
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 1: there was a wonderful story that played out in the

23
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 1: stands for one Yankee fan.

24
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 2: And also today kids in Iowa and one Iowa town.

25
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 2: We'll get to do something tonight that no kid there

26
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 2: has done in seventy years, Trick or treat on Halloween.

27
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 1: We'll explain, yes, But we begin our run out on

28
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 1: the campaign trail just five days until election day, and

29
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 1: the trash talking has reached a fever pitch, and we

30
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 1: mean that quite literally. MVP Kamala Harris, while she has

31
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:38,319
Speaker 1: found herself on the defense.

32
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 2: Yes, he spent time yesterday trying to distance herself from

33
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 2: President Biden and his garbage comments. After her rally in

34
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 2: North Carolina, she told reporters Biden already explained what he

35
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 2: meant to say when he said that Trump's supporters were garbage.

36
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 1: Yes, the White House explained, the President misspoke. He meant

37
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 1: to refer to that comedian's comment at Madden's Madison Square

38
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 1: Garden about Puerto Rico being a floating island of garbage.

39
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 1: He did not mean to say former President Trump's supporters

40
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 1: are garbage, but that is what he said, albeit mistakenly.

41
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 2: Harris stopped short of criticizing President Biden directly for his comments,

42
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 2: but She said she strongly disagrees with any criticism of

43
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 2: people based on who they vote for, and that she

44
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 2: intends to be a president for all Americans, including those

45
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 2: who decide not to vote for her in this election.

46
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 1: Certainly not what she wanted to be talking about, but

47
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 1: she was doing just that on the campaign trail, and well,

48
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 1: the run continues along that trail, because of course, you

49
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 1: knew the Trump campaign was going to jump all over

50
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 1: Biden's garbage comments, but I don't think we could have

51
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 1: predicted they were going to take it quite as far

52
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:46,359
Speaker 1: as they did.

53
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 3: And what a side it was.

54
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 1: You couldn't miss him billionaire and presidential candidate Donald Trump

55
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: rolling around yesterday in a garbage truck wearing a bright

56
00:02:57,919 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 1: orange safety.

57
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 2: Vest to keep the focus on Biden's gaff and what

58
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 2: a way to do it. He was visiting Wisconsin and

59
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 2: they had a garbage truck with the Trump MAGA logo

60
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 2: on the side waiting for the former president. When he arrived,

61
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 2: Trump said to the media gathered that the truck was

62
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 2: in honor of Kamala and Joe Biden. As he was

63
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 2: hanging out of the passenger's side window.

64
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, the truck was actually a part of the motorcade

65
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,359
Speaker 1: that went to Trump's rally where he took the stage,

66
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 1: and he decided to still wear that orange safety vest

67
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 1: visual that you cannot forget, and you certainly knew what

68
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: he intended while he was wearing it.

69
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 2: I thought this was okay. A lot of you might

70
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 2: think it's silly. Why are we doing this? We got

71
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 2: days into the election, but somebody what an idea, what

72
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 2: a spectacle? And it's effective. People are talking about it.

73
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 2: It's an incredible sight, incredible video, and it's distracting from

74
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 2: a lot of other things.

75
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 4: Right.

76
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, the news cameras couldn't avoid it, and so then

77
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: the commentators the journalist had to talk about it, which

78
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 1: is exactly what the former president wanted. And yes, this

79
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: is I don't even know how to just mention this

80
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: other bizarre twist in the wild final days leading up

81
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 1: to this election. But if you look at headlines today,

82
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 1: it'll be hard for you to miss a picture. There's

83
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,839
Speaker 1: even a video. And I started to laugh a little

84
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:23,039
Speaker 1: because it is silly. But the President, Joe Biden, made

85
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 1: another viral moment that, if nothing else, serves as another

86
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: distraction from actual issues that Kamala Harris might have to

87
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 1: listen to he teasingly bit a baby dressed as a chicken.

88
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 1: It was in a chicken costume at the White House

89
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 1: Halloween celebration. But as you can imagine, social media has

90
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:43,160
Speaker 1: gone to town with it.

91
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 2: Okay, you just put it in a little more context,

92
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 2: but the headlines simply say Biden bites baby in chicken costume.

93
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 1: You can't help but to click on that. You gotta

94
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 1: see what that headline is.

95
00:04:55,960 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 4: Unfortunately, five days until the election, the election day headline

96
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:04,040
Speaker 4: Biden is biting babies at the White House and he

97
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 4: at one point he yes, the kid had a chicken

98
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,280
Speaker 4: uniformal or outfit on, and he just kind of playfully

99
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 4: bites on the kid's leg, and yes, in a single frame,

100
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:14,359
Speaker 4: it looks.

101
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 3: It's hilarious.

102
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 1: They've even in some of these memes they've actually put

103
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 1: the Jaws music to it, which adds a little extra humorous,

104
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: so we can call.

105
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,040
Speaker 2: It just funny. And again, he's an eighty one year

106
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 2: old guy. He's a granddad, and sometimes our granddads do

107
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 2: some weird little stuff with the babies. And there were

108
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:33,039
Speaker 2: several kids he put his another kid's foot in his mouth,

109
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 2: just playfully playing along. It just looks a little weird.

110
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,480
Speaker 2: But the headline you read one this morning, I couldn't believe.

111
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 2: But they're just being very creative with it. You're gonna

112
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,599
Speaker 2: see that everywhere, but I don't know.

113
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: Hopefully it just gives everyone a little laugh.

114
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,839
Speaker 2: Garbage trucks and Biden Biden babies.

115
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,599
Speaker 1: Uh, welcome to America.

116
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 2: Only five days left of this, folks. We're gonna keep

117
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,280
Speaker 2: running though in Philadelphia now, and a judge that has

118
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:02,600
Speaker 2: ordered Elon Musk to tend court today for an emergency hearing.

119
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, the district attorney there is trying to stop Musk

120
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,160
Speaker 1: from continuing to give away that million dollars a day

121
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 1: until election day to registered voters in swing states including Pennsylvania,

122
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 1: and well, that effort apparently is not sitting so well

123
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 1: with some of Musk's supporters.

124
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, we see a new court filing now that says

125
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 2: the DA's lawsuit against Musk has triggered an avalanche of

126
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 2: social media posts. Me of them have been making anti

127
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:32,160
Speaker 2: semitic attacks on the DA. A one exert Twitter account

128
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:36,920
Speaker 2: user posted the DA's home address and wrote that quote,

129
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 2: he loves visitors mask up and leave all cell phones

130
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:42,919
Speaker 2: at home. End quote. That is scary.

131
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's very scary.

132
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 1: So lawyers representing the DA asked the judge in this

133
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 1: case for increased security for the hearing, which was originally

134
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,799
Speaker 1: slated for tomorrow for Friday, but that's when the judge

135
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,280
Speaker 1: decided to move up the case to this morning and said, hey,

136
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,159
Speaker 1: all parties must be present at the time of this hearing.

137
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 1: The lawsuit accuses Musk of operating in a legal lottery

138
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 1: in the state of Pennsylvania and trying to influence voters

139
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 1: in this election.

140
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 3: So we will see what happens there this morning.

141
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 2: And again, you're only supposed to be responsible for signing

142
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 2: a petition and then you're eligible to get this million

143
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 2: dollar prize. And he has given out at this point,

144
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 2: it's been a week of this almost he has been

145
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 2: giving them out. His argument, I just want you to

146
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 2: sign a petition to say you support the first and

147
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 2: second Amendment. I'm not saying I'm going to pay you

148
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 2: to vote or pay you to register to vote.

149
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 1: It is his argument, and the DA isn't even taking

150
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 1: him on on that point. He's also he's basically just saying, hey,

151
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 1: if you hold any kind of a lottery or a

152
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 1: giveaway in this state, it has to be registered and

153
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 1: sanctioned by the state, and you did not do so.

154
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 1: And so that is why he's filed this injunction.

155
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 2: And that's ten o'clock today in Philadelphia. We shall see

156
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 2: what next up on our run back here in New York.

157
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 2: Sean Diddy Coombs facing possibly more criminal charges. A grand

158
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 2: juria is reportedly convening today here in New York and

159
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 2: expected to hear new evidence in the federal case against

160
00:07:58,560 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 2: the music mocal Combs.

161
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 1: He was arrested last month on racketeering and sex trafficking charges.

162
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 1: He was denied bail, but while he's remained in jail,

163
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 1: he has been hit with the barrage of civil lawsuits

164
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 1: accusing him of sexual assault. And in one of those suits,

165
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 1: a judge says Comb's accuser must reveal her name.

166
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 2: Yeah. A Tennessee woman filed suit as Jane Doe, saying

167
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 2: Combs assaulted her in two thousand and four when she

168
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 2: was nineteen, but the judge just ruled she must reveal

169
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 2: her identity by November thirteenth or the case will be dismissed.

170
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 2: The judge of saying Combs has a right to defend himself,

171
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 2: and courts have a right to know who's using their courts.

172
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 3: And that is an unusual move. He said.

173
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:42,239
Speaker 1: The accuser's desire to avoid public scrutiny does not outweigh

174
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 1: the interests of Combs or the court did. He's criminal

175
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 1: trial is scheduled for May. He has pled not guilty

176
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 1: to all charges against him, but again, there could be

177
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 1: more charges coming criminal charges.

178
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 2: This is interesting now with the judge saying or trying

179
00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 2: to weigh the public's interest and the defendant interest in

180
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 2: defending himself with the interests of the accuser or the

181
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 2: alleged victim who has a right to privacy and humilitating,

182
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,439
Speaker 2: no humiliation and public scrutiny.

183
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 1: I'm a little surprised by this because even as media companies,

184
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 1: we make a practice not to release any alleged sexual

185
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,839
Speaker 1: victim's name because what it does, obviously is it discourages

186
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 1: any potential victim from coming forward for fear of public

187
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 1: scrutiny or all.

188
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 3: Of the backlash that often happens.

189
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 1: So this is an unusual move, and we'll see what

190
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 1: happens in all of these cases. But there are certainly,

191
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 1: as you said, a mountain of cases piling up we.

192
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 2: Will continue now this October thirty, first morning ron with

193
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:44,680
Speaker 2: another major move by the LA District Attorney and support

194
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 2: of Eric and Laumanndez, the DA submitted a letter to

195
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 2: California Governor Gavin Newsom supporting the brother's new push for clemency.

196
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 1: And clemency would mean that either their sentences would be

197
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 1: reduced or it could also mean a full pardon for

198
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 1: the brothers. The Menendez brothers has spent nearly thirty five

199
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,680
Speaker 1: years in prison for murdering their parents back in nineteen

200
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 1: eighty nine, and they are currently serving life sentences without parole.

201
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 2: And you'll remember that at the time of their trial,

202
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 2: the prosecutors argued that they killed their parents for the money,

203
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,320
Speaker 2: but there's now new evidence that supports what the brothers

204
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:19,560
Speaker 2: have maintained all along, that they acted in self defense

205
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 2: after decades of sexual, physical, and emotional abuse by their parents.

206
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 1: Even if Governor Newsom decides against granting that clemency, the

207
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 1: Menendez brothers could still be re sentenced. Just last week,

208
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 1: you may remember, the DA recommended their original sentence be

209
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,319
Speaker 1: removed and that it should be reduced given their ages

210
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 1: at the time of the murders and the time they've

211
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 1: already served. That would make them eligible for parole immediately.

212
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 2: They could also be a review of the new evidence

213
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 2: in the case where the court could reverse the original conviction.

214
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 2: So there are some options here, and there is some

215
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 2: hope a lot will argue. Gary Gos, their attorney, he

216
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 2: was arguing he one of them was hoping and he

217
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,559
Speaker 2: was even betting that they'd be out by Thanksgiving. Not

218
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 2: sure if that's still possible, but there are moves we made.

219
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 2: It looks like the momentum is going towards them getting

220
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:05,680
Speaker 2: out of prison.

221
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's been said that the Menendez brothers have told

222
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 1: Geragos and family members that they are cautiously optimistic they

223
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 1: will finally be home soon.

224
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:16,559
Speaker 2: All right, we'll stay with us, So we going to

225
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 2: continue the morning run here in just a moment. The

226
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 2: e Coli cases tied to that McDonald's outbreak continues to

227
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:26,200
Speaker 2: go up. And also the outcome wasn't what we wanted

228
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 2: for the Yankees here in New York, but the best

229
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 2: story of the night was playing out in the stands

230
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 2: to hear.

231
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,560
Speaker 1: Welcome back everyone. We continue our run with the number

232
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 1: of people sickened by McDonald's quarter pounder.

233
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:48,840
Speaker 3: While that number has risen.

234
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 1: A total of ninety people are now known to have

235
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 1: gotten sick from E coli after eating at McDonald's.

236
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 3: This is according to the CDC.

237
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, this aubrek has killed at least one person. Twenty

238
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 2: seven people to be hospitalized. Cases have been reported in

239
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:06,199
Speaker 2: thirteen states. Most of those cases where in Colorado. Investigators

240
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 2: have linked the outbreak to raw slivered onions that go

241
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 2: on the quarter pounders and other items of McDonald's.

242
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,839
Speaker 1: McDonald's has stopped using those onions in some states and

243
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 1: eventually put the quarter pounder back on the menu when

244
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:20,319
Speaker 1: it was determined that the beef patties were not the

245
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:22,199
Speaker 1: source of the E coli outbreak.

246
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 3: The CDC previously.

247
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 1: Warned that the number of cases could rise because they

248
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 1: can take up to a month to link an illness

249
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 1: to an outbreak. Not everyone goes to the hospital, not

250
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 1: everyone reports feeling sick, But certainly, as the weeks ago on,

251
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 1: those cases are able to be connected by the organization.

252
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 1: And so yes, that number up to ninety now.

253
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,439
Speaker 2: And it could still keep going up. But we are

254
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 2: told now the questioned well, the onions in question have

255
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 2: been taking out of circulation. There was a recall involved

256
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 2: as well, so there should not be a threat of

257
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 2: E coli still linked to this, they say in the food.

258
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 1: Chain, yes, and McDonald's has said, hey, please everyone, we

259
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 1: put the quarter pounder back on the menus. They had

260
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 1: temporarily taking them off in some franchises, but they're all

261
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 1: back on the menu and they say they are safe

262
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 1: to consume.

263
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 2: All let's continue our run here. Back in New York,

264
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:13,320
Speaker 2: the La Dodgers have won the World Series after an

265
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 2: epic and historic comeback last night in Game five, another

266
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:22,079
Speaker 2: way to put it, and epic and historic collapse by

267
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 2: the Yankees.

268
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 1: This was heartbreaking because the Yankees were up five to

269
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 1: nothing in the fifth inning. We were feeling good. Their

270
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 1: starting picture was doing his thing. Everything was looking up.

271
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 1: But then it really was a comedy of errors, starting

272
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:38,320
Speaker 1: with Aaron Judge just dropping the ball like he dropped

273
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 1: the ball. You know, we say that all the time,

274
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 1: but he literally dropped the ball in the outfield that

275
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:44,959
Speaker 1: was hit directly to him.

276
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 2: Okay, he is a superstar, we know. And I'm not

277
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 2: saying this is not being necessarily critical or making fun of,

278
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 2: but probably nine out of the ten people who are

279
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,840
Speaker 2: listening to our voices right now could make the catch

280
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 2: that he did not make that started this is bizarre.

281
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 2: The ball who was hit directly to him pretty much

282
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 2: you just have to put your hand up and catch it,

283
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 2: and for some reason he missed it. This started a

284
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 2: chain of events that led to the bases loaded. The

285
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 2: Dodgers end up getting hits with two outs and eventually

286
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 2: tied the score five to five, and the fifth went

287
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 2: on to win this thing seven to six, claim their

288
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 2: eighth championship in franchise history. You were exhausted, you were

289
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 2: I'm the fool that stays up late and knowing we

290
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 2: have to get up early. But even you had your

291
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 2: eyes open and glued to this game because it looked good.

292
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 2: And then what happened in the fifth.

293
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 1: There were two outs, like all you had to do,

294
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 1: and then at a certain point it was a full

295
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 1: count and still it was just everything could have gone

296
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 1: another way and it didn't.

297
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 2: Oh well, ah well, Freder Freeman, congrats, he was on

298
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 2: a historic home run streak for the Dodgers. He of

299
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 2: course ends up being the MVP. The Dodgers now have

300
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 2: won as the first championship since twenty twenty. That's fairly recent,

301
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 2: but twenty twenty was the COVID, so they didn't get

302
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 2: the big crowds, they didn't get the big celebration, the

303
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 2: big parade at the time. So they'll all get a

304
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 2: chance to celebrate it the right way this time around.

305
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 2: But it was tough for the Yankees last night and

306
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 2: for us in New York to watch that.

307
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 3: It certainly was.

308
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 1: But you know what, even though it wasn't the outcome

309
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 1: Yankees fans were hoping for, you know what, there was

310
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 1: a very excited young fan in his family. He found

311
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 1: out just hours before Game five that he would be

312
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 1: able to root on the home team from some pretty

313
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 1: amazing seats.

314
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 3: And they weren't just any seats.

315
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, these were the seats that were taken away from

316
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 2: those two nut cases, those two aggressive season ticket holders.

317
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 2: I don't know these guys. I shouldn't do it, but

318
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 2: I'm just saying, watching the video of what they did

319
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 2: to Mookie Bets in the stand, that was a little nuts.

320
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 2: But these were the guys, of course, who interfered in

321
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 2: the previous game, grabbed the outfielder Mookie Bets while he

322
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 2: was trying to make a catch. Well they got kicked out,

323
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 2: of course, and they ended up getting banned for the

324
00:15:56,800 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 2: game five. But what they did, the Yankees, and this

325
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 2: was brilliant. They took those tickets and donated them to

326
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 2: a fifteen year old pediatric cancer patient named Calvin Young

327
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 2: so he and his family could enjoy the game.

328
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I love the backstory in this because Calvin

329
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 1: was set to attend a kid's only press conference with

330
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 1: the Yankees back in September, so just a month ago,

331
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 1: but he fell so ill on his way to Yankee

332
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 1: Stadium he had to divert go to the hospital and

333
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 1: ultimately he had to have surgery. So this was the

334
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 1: perfect way to make up for that missed experience by

335
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 1: giving Calvin and his mother and his two younger brothers

336
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 1: all tickets to their very first ever playoff game.

337
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 2: Okay, this was the perfect way. And there was so

338
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 2: much talk about that scene and game for these two

339
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 2: ticket holders, why they did what they did, somebody even

340
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 2: arguing they should be charged with a crime for assault,

341
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 2: and how they came at Mookie Bets. But to think

342
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 2: that that terrible moment turned into maybe a highlight moment

343
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 2: for a kid in their life. It's how life works

344
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 2: out sometimes that the only way that beautiful moment was

345
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:06,200
Speaker 2: made possible was because of the bad behavior of other folks.

346
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 1: Was it was probably the only winning moment the Yankees

347
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 1: had yesterday, But I'll take it all right. For our

348
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:17,439
Speaker 1: final leg of the run, A treat for kids in

349
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:19,880
Speaker 1: des Moines, Iowa, who are about to get to do

350
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 1: something tonight that no kid in Des Moines has ever

351
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:27,119
Speaker 1: done since nineteen thirty eight. They get to trick or

352
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:30,920
Speaker 1: treat on Halloween. The tradition in Des Moines has been

353
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:34,120
Speaker 1: for decades that kids have to go out on October thirtieth,

354
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:37,160
Speaker 1: the night before, which is what they call Beggars Night.

355
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,200
Speaker 2: So the custom there on Beggars Night is for kids

356
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,680
Speaker 2: to go around to houses ask for candy in exchange

357
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 2: for telling jokes. You can't just say trick or treat.

358
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:46,200
Speaker 2: You actually have to deliver a joke that sounds fun.

359
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:50,199
Speaker 2: But why have them go on Halloween Eve and not

360
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 2: Halloween Night? Well, it all started back in the day

361
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 2: as a way to cut down on crime.

362
00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 3: That's right.

363
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:01,440
Speaker 1: So since then police have had hundreds of reports of

364
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 1: vandalism and violence and Halloween like fires being set, bricks

365
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 1: being thrown, that kind of thing.

366
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 3: But because they decided to move the day.

367
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:12,639
Speaker 1: They let the kids go do their trick or treating

368
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 1: the day before, and Halloween night was reserved for adult activities.

369
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 2: So yeah, back in nineteen thirty eight, some kids mess

370
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:23,200
Speaker 2: it up for everybody for all these years, but it's

371
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:26,120
Speaker 2: now being moved this year. But not because they're trying

372
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,120
Speaker 2: to give the kids a break. It's being moved because

373
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 2: of weather. There were some nasty storms expected to come

374
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 2: in to that area overnight on the thirtieth, so they say,

375
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:36,880
Speaker 2: we got to move it back a day so that

376
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:39,679
Speaker 2: one day means it actually is going to fall on

377
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 2: Halloween night. So that was fascinating. I hadn't heard of this.

378
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 2: Apparently some other places in the Midwest do do this

379
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 2: on Beggar's Night.

380
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 3: I didn't know, so it's so funny.

381
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:51,440
Speaker 1: As reading the story, all of a sudden, the light

382
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 1: bulb went off in my head because I spent my

383
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:56,399
Speaker 1: trick or treating years, my formative years in just outside

384
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:58,960
Speaker 1: of Saint Louis, Missouri, and my mom and I used

385
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,720
Speaker 1: to like when I was younger, I'd say, no, Halloween's tonight, No,

386
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 1: we're doing it the night before, and we always had

387
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 1: to have jokes ready. I had to basically earn the candy.

388
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 1: So we had to have jokes, and they gave us

389
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 1: some of them, and it just actually just triggered such

390
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:14,880
Speaker 1: a memory for me because, yes, this is something that

391
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 1: a lot of folks do in the Midwest. So how

392
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 1: does the cucumber become a pickle? How it goes through

393
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:21,879
Speaker 1: a jarring experience?

394
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 2: That's good.

395
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 3: Why don't lobsters share?

396
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 2: Why not?

397
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:27,639
Speaker 3: Because they're shellfish.

398
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 2: That's good stuff.

399
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, we would get our jokes ready and then take

400
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 1: them out.

401
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:31,640
Speaker 3: It's so funny.

402
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 1: I haven't thought about it. I haven't heard about it

403
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 1: until this story. So pretty cool. They're actually getting to

404
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 1: trick or treat on Halloween.

405
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 2: Well, congrats to them in des Moine. But before we

406
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 2: wrap up this run now, as we always do, we

407
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 2: like to leave you with something to consider as you

408
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:48,959
Speaker 2: go about your day today.

409
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 1: Yes, here is the quote of the day today. Be

410
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 1: kind for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.

411
00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:01,359
Speaker 1: That is from an unknown person. But I know that

412
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:04,359
Speaker 1: you say something similar to this all the time teaching.

413
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:06,160
Speaker 2: I'm not sure where I got this, but it stuck

414
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 2: years and years and years ago, but I say it

415
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:10,160
Speaker 2: all the time when someone is giving you bad service

416
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 2: at a restaurant, when somebody bumps you on the street,

417
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 2: when somebody is mean to you, when something happens, just

418
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 2: have to remember everybody's going through something, and who knows

419
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 2: what that person what news they just got about their health,

420
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 2: about their family, about their job, about their finances, about anything.

421
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 2: You just don't know. And we've all had a bad moment. Yeah,

422
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:31,399
Speaker 2: we didn't treat somebody exactly the way we should have

423
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 2: because we were going through something. So everybody in your life,

424
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 2: you go through the day, somebody has a bad moment,

425
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 2: Just remember everybody's going through something.

426
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, here is the quote once again, be kind for

427
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:45,400
Speaker 1: everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle. I think

428
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,160
Speaker 1: sometimes we all take it personally when it was never

429
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 1: intended personally, and I think that's part of the problem.

430
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 3: So, yeah, give people a break. I appreciate that on

431
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 3: this Halloween.

432
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 2: And tell everybody what you're going to be folloween.

433
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 3: We were thinking about.

434
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 1: No, I'm not gonna say I'm gonna be a podcaster

435
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 1: for Halloween.

436
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:11,119
Speaker 2: There it is, folks. Whatever you're doing today, please have

437
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:15,200
Speaker 2: a safe, fun, very happy day on the Halloween. We

438
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 2: appreciate you running with us. As always.

439
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 3: I'm j and I'm Amy.

440
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:23,440
Speaker 1: Robot have a wonderful and safe night. Everyone
