Speaker 1: Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast. Good
Speaker 1: morning everyone, Thanks for joining us for today's morning run.
Speaker 1: It's Wednesday, April sixteenth. Your Morning Run guaranteed every Monday
Speaker 1: through Friday by six thirty am Eastern Time.
Speaker 2: I'm Amy Robots and I'm TJ. Holmes. I suppose a
Speaker 2: lot of people slept well last night. Tax Day it's over,
Speaker 2: it's done. Your refund is coming or your check is
Speaker 2: on the way. Either way, it's done. So this should
Speaker 2: be a good day for people.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, I mean I feel my shoulders relaxing now
Speaker 1: that that's all been taken care of. The worst is over,
Speaker 1: and now I have twelve months until I have to
Speaker 1: worry about it again. Or eleven months maybe.
Speaker 2: Oh my. Yes. We hopefully we have a good quote
Speaker 2: of the day so you don't have to be worried
Speaker 2: about something a year from Yes. Now, we're just gonna
Speaker 2: embrace today, still in the moment, on this morning run. Yes,
Speaker 2: we always appreciate you running with us. And on today's run,
Speaker 2: it's a showdown between Washington and Harvard, with President Trump
Speaker 2: now demanding an apology from the Ivy League.
Speaker 1: School and former President Biden may not have mentioned Trump
Speaker 1: by name, but he certainly had a lot to say
Speaker 1: about him in his first public comments since leaving the
Speaker 1: White House.
Speaker 2: Also on the Run this morning, the IRS just got
Speaker 2: all of our returns, but they've also just lost a
Speaker 2: quarter of its workforce. Also this morning, anybody expecting a
Speaker 2: package from China may be waiting for a very long
Speaker 2: time after one all important region announces it's won't be
Speaker 2: sending or receiving any US packages.
Speaker 1: Plus a second school shooting at the same high school
Speaker 1: in Dallas, sending four students to the hospital. The suspect
Speaker 1: arrested late last night, And a new CDC report confirms
Speaker 1: autism rates in this country are rising, and it also
Speaker 1: acknowledges that our nation's Measle's outbreak is worse than being reported.
Speaker 2: Also this morning, OUCH Blue origins all female astronaut team
Speaker 2: is facing some scathing criticism by several notable female stars,
Speaker 2: calling the mission disgusting and privileged. And this morning, beloved
Speaker 2: game show host of the seventies and eighties, Wink Martindale
Speaker 2: dies at the age of ninety one. These guys seem
Speaker 2: like we're losing them, but these classic classic game show guys,
Speaker 2: was we're going to get into some of his background.
Speaker 2: But we've lost another one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, tic tac dough. That was a staple at my
Speaker 1: house in the early eighties. I remember it.
Speaker 2: Well, all right, we're going to start our run. The
Speaker 2: first leg, we'll have us in DC. And well, that
Speaker 2: escalated quickly after Harvard rejected a White House list of demands.
Speaker 2: President Trump has made one more demand of the university apologize,
Speaker 2: and he's thrown in a new wrinkle or maybe a threat,
Speaker 2: you could call it, and the escalating beef by suggesting
Speaker 2: Harvard's tax exempt status be taken away.
Speaker 1: In a social media post yesterday, the President said perhaps
Speaker 1: Harvard should lose its tax exempt status and be taxed
Speaker 1: as a political entity if it keeps pushing political ideological
Speaker 1: and terror inspired supporting sickness. Remember, tax exemp status is
Speaker 1: totally contingent on acting in the public interest. Now. During
Speaker 1: the press briefing yesterday, Press Secretary Caroline Levitt called on
Speaker 1: Harvard to say I'm sorry, saying President Trump wants to
Speaker 1: see Harvard apologize, and Harvard should apologize for the ar regious,
Speaker 1: egregious anti semitism that took place on their college campus
Speaker 1: against Jewish American students. Now.
Speaker 2: Of course, all this comes after the White House announced
Speaker 2: it was freezing two point two billion dollars in federal
Speaker 2: funding to Harvard after the school refused to make changes
Speaker 2: the administration wanted, including changes in admission policies, hiring practices,
Speaker 2: among other things. President Trump claims he wants to cut
Speaker 2: down on anti Semitism at elite schools, after several were
Speaker 2: the site of protests about the Israeli Gaza war.
Speaker 1: This feels a little bit like the US China trade
Speaker 1: war escalating. We've got another one now between Trump and Harvard.
Speaker 2: I don't know who he's going to blink first on
Speaker 2: this one, but that's a lot of money.
Speaker 1: Yes, and a lot of live who will be absolutely
Speaker 1: upended without that funding. All right, Next up on our run.
Speaker 1: Former President Biden was back at a podium last night
Speaker 1: in his first major appearance in speech since leaving office,
Speaker 1: and he never mentioned President Trump by name, But that
Speaker 1: does not mean he didn't have plenty to say about him.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Instead, last night he chose to call him this guy.
Speaker 2: That's how he referred to President Trump. Biden revealed for
Speaker 2: the first time publicly, though, what he thinks of the
Speaker 2: new administration using words like devastating and heartbreaking. The former
Speaker 2: president was speaking last night at a conference in Chicago
Speaker 2: that was focused on social security.
Speaker 1: He told a group of about two hundred people, in
Speaker 1: fewer than one hundred days, this new administration has done
Speaker 1: so much damage and so much destruction, it's kind of breathtaking.
Speaker 1: The former president also presented this warning, saying, and we'll
Speaker 1: quote him here, why are these guys taking aim at
Speaker 1: social security now? While they're following that old line from
Speaker 1: tech startups. The quote is move fast, break things. They're
Speaker 1: certainly breaking things. They're shooting first and aiming later. The
Speaker 1: result is a lot of needless pain and sleepless nights.
Speaker 1: They want to wreck it so they can rob it.
Speaker 2: Also, of note, the former president reference the heated political
Speaker 2: divide we have in this country, saying, we can't go
Speaker 2: on like this as a divided nation, as divided as
Speaker 2: we are. I've been doing this a long time. It's
Speaker 2: never been this divided. Granted it's roughly thirty percent, but
Speaker 2: it's a thirty percent that has no heart. Now a
Speaker 2: lot of people are questioning what exactly is he talking
Speaker 2: about there. You can maybe jump to your own conclusion,
Speaker 2: but it didn't sound good. Who those thirty percent necessarily were. Now.
Speaker 2: The White House responded to Biden's speech before he even
Speaker 2: gave it. Actually, the White House spokespursion Carolyn Leavit during
Speaker 2: the day yesterday said, I'm shocked that he is speaking
Speaker 2: at nighttime. I thought his bedtime was much earlier than
Speaker 2: his speech tonight. And that was it. I don't know
Speaker 2: if we is that petty? Is it funny, is it silly?
Speaker 2: Is it mean?
Speaker 1: Is it mean? You know I was also thinking it
Speaker 1: was funny, but then it was mean. So it's just
Speaker 1: the mean spiritedness of everything just weighs It can weigh
Speaker 1: you down, can't it. But I yeah, I mean she
Speaker 1: did take a shot, as did Biden. All right, next
Speaker 1: up on the run. Now that you've hopefully filed your taxes,
Speaker 1: or at least filed your extension, you may be less
Speaker 1: likely to face an audit. There has been a mass
Speaker 1: exodus at the IRS. So far, nearly twenty two thousand
Speaker 1: employees have signed up for Trump's offer to resign. They
Speaker 1: get paid leave through September, but there are further layoffs
Speaker 1: on the horizon as well.
Speaker 2: Yeah, before the president took office, the RS had around
Speaker 2: one hundred thousand employees. It's now on course to lose
Speaker 2: a third of that staff. Some experts out there will
Speaker 2: tell you the agency will be in a weekend position
Speaker 2: to collect taxes, perform audits, and may even make people
Speaker 2: think they can get away with not paying their taxes altogether.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Like, oh, so there are fewer people who are
Speaker 1: looking at returns, so maybe I can sneak something in
Speaker 1: or leave something out. Oh yeah, give it a yeah,
Speaker 1: that's a lot of worry I don't need. All right.
Speaker 1: Last week, the Acting Commission of the IRS, along with
Speaker 1: other top officials there, quit their jobs over an agreement
Speaker 1: to share taxpayer information to help deport undocumented immigrants. The
Speaker 1: IRS has previously kept all taxpayer information confidential. And look,
Speaker 1: a lot of people we talked about undocumented immigrants pay
Speaker 1: their taxes. So there is also concern about lost revenue,
Speaker 1: with those immigrants possibly now afraid to file tax returns
Speaker 1: because they will then be targeted and deported.
Speaker 2: All right, we'll continue our run here on thisres Wednesday morning,
Speaker 2: on this next leg, and if you are expecting a
Speaker 2: package from China, you might be out of luck. Hong
Speaker 2: Kong in particular announced today that it's postal service will
Speaker 2: no longer be sending packages to the US, and this
Speaker 2: is in place effective immediately.
Speaker 1: The postal service there said it wouldn't. It would contact
Speaker 1: anyone who had already dropped off packages that were headed
Speaker 1: to the United States and they will return your packages
Speaker 1: and refund your postage. Hong Kong government is retaliating to
Speaker 1: the one hundred and forty five percent tear if Trump
Speaker 1: has imposed on Chinese imports, and they posted this on
Speaker 1: their website.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they say the public in Hong Kong should be
Speaker 2: prepared to pay exorbitant and unreasonable fees due to the
Speaker 2: US is unreasonable and bullying acts. Trump also closed a
Speaker 2: loophole that allow Chinese retailers to send clothing and other
Speaker 2: goods to the US without paying any tariffs roads. We
Speaker 2: were talking this was a big deal because there are
Speaker 2: a lot of low price Chinese retailers that we're finding
Speaker 2: a way to send that stuff.
Speaker 1: Absolutely get there. It's called fast Fashion, and there are
Speaker 1: several companies in the Asian market. Shean is one that
Speaker 1: I know my girls use and I have used as well.
Speaker 1: And you get these goods for a lot cheaper because yes,
Speaker 1: they are not paying the terrifts. But now if these
Speaker 1: companies and these businesses are being forced to pay that
Speaker 1: one hundred and forty five percent tariff when they were
Speaker 1: paying zero, everything's going to change, all right. Next up
Speaker 1: on the Run, we're going to head to Dallas, where
Speaker 1: a second school shooting has happened at the same high
Speaker 1: school in less than one year. For student thanks were injured.
Speaker 1: They were all sent to the hospital, but one of
Speaker 1: them seriously injured when a gunman opened fire at Wilmer
Speaker 1: Hutchins High School just after one pm yesterday.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is DejaVu of a heartbreaking scene. Look, we've
Speaker 2: covered a lot of school shootings and you see this
Speaker 2: on TV. But that scene where the parents are rushing
Speaker 2: to the school to try to find their kids, well
Speaker 2: that scene played out once again at the same school,
Speaker 2: So parents were rushing trying to reunite with their children.
Speaker 2: Police arrested the shooter late Tuesday evening, but have not
Speaker 2: released an identity. According to Dallas official, someone at the
Speaker 2: school opened the door to the suspect, who then began firing.
Speaker 1: Wilmer Hutchins High had already implemented metal detectors and had
Speaker 1: a clear backpack policy following a school shooting there nearly
Speaker 1: a year ago, so a lot of people were asking
Speaker 1: how did he get in? And the best we have
Speaker 1: gotten from the Dallas police so far is that he entered.
Speaker 1: This gunman entered in off hours, so it wasn't the
Speaker 1: fault of their staff or their metal detectors. Somehow he
Speaker 1: knew how to get in ahead of time, or at
Speaker 1: least at a time when no one was there. Texas
Speaker 1: Governor Greg Abbott tweeted our hearts go out to the
Speaker 1: victims of this senseless act of violence at Wilmer Hutchins
Speaker 1: High School and offered law enforcement resources to bring the
Speaker 1: gunman to justice.
Speaker 2: Abbott also said he's adding another five hundred million dollars
Speaker 2: to the more than three billion he's already directed to
Speaker 2: school safety since he's been governor. The school will be
Speaker 2: closed for the rest of this week. Dallas police will
Speaker 2: be stationed at other district schools for an added safety measure.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just tough. We're still still still talking about
Speaker 1: school shootings.
Speaker 2: I stayed with us folks here on this Wednesday morning run.
Speaker 2: When we come back. We've been talking about how bad
Speaker 2: the measles outbreak is in the us. Well, actually it's
Speaker 2: worse also coming up. Yes, it was all smiles and
Speaker 2: all cheers and at all celebrity female crew came back
Speaker 2: to earth. Well now they're really being brought back down
Speaker 2: to earth by a number of notable female celebrities who
Speaker 2: call that trip disgusting.
Speaker 1: Stay with us, Welcome back to the Wednesday morning run.
Speaker 1: Next up on our run, this country's measles outbreak is
Speaker 1: likely much worse than we know, the Centers for Disease
Speaker 1: Control said. The agency is struggling to keep up with
Speaker 1: state's requests for support with battling this disease.
Speaker 2: And so far this year, there've been more than seven
Speaker 2: hundred measles cases nationwide, and that's been across twenty four states.
Speaker 2: But a senior CDC scientist said yesterday that there are
Speaker 2: a large number of cases that have not been reported.
Speaker 1: And probably will never be reported, so we won't know
Speaker 1: the full scope of it. But to twenty twenty five,
Speaker 1: we know this is already the second worst year on
Speaker 1: record for the disease. The CDC just deployed a second
Speaker 1: team to West Texas, where the measles out outbreak began,
Speaker 1: after already sending fifteen employees earlier in the year to
Speaker 1: try and help stop the spread. So far, it has
Speaker 1: done little to curb the spread. Children and one adult
Speaker 1: have already died from this measle's outbreak. Dozens of others
Speaker 1: have been hospitalized, and it doesn't look like it's easing
Speaker 1: up at any point.
Speaker 2: All Right, we'll continue now the next leg of our run.
Speaker 2: The CDC making headlines around a new study it just
Speaker 2: released about the country's rising autism rate. In twenty twenty two,
Speaker 2: nearly one in thirty one children was diagnosed with autism
Speaker 2: by the age of.
Speaker 1: Eight, but that is up from one in thirty six
Speaker 1: back in twenty twenty The other some of the other
Speaker 1: points that came out of the report, Boys continue to
Speaker 1: have higher rates of autism diagnosis than girls, and it
Speaker 1: was also more common among Asian, Black, and Hispanic children
Speaker 1: than it was in white children.
Speaker 2: And the report acknowledge that improvements in identifying the disorder
Speaker 2: have been apparent, which may explain the increase in cases.
Speaker 2: Simply put, we are better at identifying it, so of
Speaker 2: course you're going to have more cases identified, simple as that.
Speaker 2: The Department of Health and Human Services has asked the
Speaker 2: CDC to study a relationship between vaccines and autism. However,
Speaker 2: there's decades of evidence that shows there is no link
Speaker 2: between vaccines and autism.
Speaker 1: Yes, and they are doing that at the best of
Speaker 1: this DH excuse me the Department of Health and Human
Speaker 1: Services Director RFK Junior, who said yesterday that autism is
Speaker 1: preventable and that the risks and costs of this crisis
Speaker 1: are a thousand times more threatening to our country than
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen. A lot of people pointed out that the
Speaker 1: CDC the results of this report stand in contrast to
Speaker 1: what RFK Junior is saying about a possible link between
Speaker 1: measles and autism, saying, no, this is just simply, as
Speaker 1: you put it, about diagnosing and identifying this disorder.
Speaker 2: Didn't he say this was recently? He said, they're going
Speaker 2: to know by September. They have a new task force
Speaker 2: or whatever they're going to call that, but they are
Speaker 2: going to identify a cause of autism. Y.
Speaker 1: Yes, and it would be nice at least to put
Speaker 1: the argument or the concerns behind us and move forward.
Speaker 2: Never, well, let's stay what it's here now or we're
Speaker 2: continuing now the next leg of our run, folks. And
Speaker 2: this is a heck of a talker here that all
Speaker 2: female star studied Blue Origin crew is now being brought
Speaker 2: back down to Earth figuratively, as several notable celebrities are
Speaker 2: openly criticizing the trip as nothing more than an unnecessary,
Speaker 2: wasteful publicity stunt. Words like privileged, exploitation, gluttonous are being
Speaker 2: thrown around woo.
Speaker 1: Katy Perry and Gail King were among the six woman
Speaker 1: crew that went on the ten minute ride to space
Speaker 1: on Monday aboard Blue Origin. The trip had been promoted
Speaker 1: for weeks as history making and inspiring. The women were
Speaker 1: on the cover of magazines. Gail's preparation was followed closely
Speaker 1: by her CBS Morning colleagues. Bezos fiance was on board,
Speaker 1: Oprah was there to support her friend. A couple of
Speaker 1: Kardashians were there at the launch. Katy Perry even saying
Speaker 1: in space, Okay.
Speaker 2: This was a well produced, made for TV moment if
Speaker 2: you've ever seen it, And that was just a kind
Speaker 2: of a general sense of excitement that this was taking place.
Speaker 2: And we will have to admit we got caught up
Speaker 2: and we're excited about it and watching it as well.
Speaker 2: But one person's excitement is another person's disgust. Yes, disgusted
Speaker 2: is the word that model Emily Radikowski Radakowski Okay, Emily
Speaker 2: Radakowski used in a social media video talking about the
Speaker 2: Blue Origin trip. And this is what she said. Look
Speaker 2: at the state of the world and think about how
Speaker 2: many resources went into putting these women into space and
Speaker 2: for what for what? What was the marketing there? I'm disgusted, literally,
Speaker 2: I'm disgusting.
Speaker 1: That seems like a lot. But guess what she was
Speaker 1: just getting warmed up. She went on to say this,
Speaker 1: having a man who has gained his power and become
Speaker 1: a part of the one percent purely through exploitation and greed,
Speaker 1: deciding to take his fiance and a few other famous
Speaker 1: women to space for space tourism is not progress. Nope,
Speaker 1: still not done. She added. This privilege is not an accomplishment.
Speaker 1: Exploitation is certainly not an accomplishment. And being able to
Speaker 1: take the privilege that you have gained from exploitation and
Speaker 1: greed of the planet, of resources, of human beings and
Speaker 1: then doing something like going to space for eleven minutes
Speaker 1: is certainly not an accomplishment. I think we're at a
Speaker 1: place in the world where we need to be able
Speaker 1: to discern what real progress looks like, and what happened
Speaker 1: yesterday was nothing like that.
Speaker 2: No, no, this was not a one offer, folks. This
Speaker 2: was not just her popping off on her own. Actress
Speaker 2: Olivia Mile Wild excuse me, Olivia Wild chimed in saying,
Speaker 2: simply this a billion dollars bought some good memes. I guess.
Speaker 2: Comedian Amy Schumer mocked the trip and a video online,
Speaker 2: and then actress Olivia Mon said, prior to the trip quote,
Speaker 2: there are so many other things that are so important
Speaker 2: in the world right now. What are you guys going
Speaker 2: to do up in space? What's the point Is it
Speaker 2: historic that you guys are going on a ride. I
Speaker 2: think it's a bit gluttonous. The cover of L magazine,
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I think she does know what she thinks. Gail King
Speaker 1: and Lauren Sanchez have acknowledged that some criticism was out there.
Speaker 1: King had said that people who are criticizing don't really
Speaker 1: understand what's happening here, and she encouraged them to do
Speaker 1: more of a deep dive on the trip, and Sanchez
Speaker 1: said this, I would love to have critics come to
Speaker 1: Blue Origin and see the thousands of employees that don't
Speaker 1: just work there, but they put their heart and soul
Speaker 1: into this vehicle. They love their work and they loved
Speaker 1: the mission, and it's a big deal for them.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: I wasn't expecting that much pushback or that much criticism,
Speaker 1: and notably by other women. I don't know that we've
Speaker 1: heard a man way in on this, and perhaps maybe
Speaker 1: smartly so they have not.
Speaker 2: We know better. I'm just going to sit here quietly.
Speaker 2: You can say whatever you want to say. But I
Speaker 2: was but why why? It makes sense? But very strong criticism.
Speaker 2: There's some criticism having to do is like mother Earth?
Speaker 2: Why be you that kind of wasteful? But I don't know,
Speaker 2: there's some balance you have to find. I think they
Speaker 2: made an argument that there was inspiration, science, there was
Speaker 2: something behind this other than a joy ride. But I
Speaker 2: don't know if that message. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean, everyone's obviously entitled, entitled to their means, but
Speaker 1: I just don't know that it's to me. When you're
Speaker 1: throwing words like disgusting out there, you're adding to the problem,
Speaker 1: not solving it.
Speaker 2: That is strong. You're right, it's a matter of some time.
Speaker 2: You could. You would listen to it differently, depending on
Speaker 2: the words that were chosen. But why all women? Why
Speaker 2: it seemed it's tough for me to hear very prominent
Speaker 2: and successful and talented and respected women criticize this other
Speaker 2: group of respected, talented women.
Speaker 1: It's not fun to watch as a woman. I can
Speaker 1: say that much. It doesn't It doesn't make you feel good,
Speaker 1: does it. I think you can still have a conversation,
Speaker 1: you can still disagree without using certain words and going
Speaker 1: below the belt.
Speaker 2: All right, Well, next up on our run here, the
Speaker 2: last leg of our run. Here, on this Wednesday, we
Speaker 2: are going to talk about long time in legendary game
Speaker 2: show host Wink Martindale. He has passed away at the
Speaker 2: age of ninety one. Died in California with his family
Speaker 2: by his side, according to a statement from the family.
Speaker 1: Yes, Martindale was the host of what seemed like countless
Speaker 1: game shows starting in the seventies, most notably notably as
Speaker 1: the host of Gambit High Rollers and Tic Tac Dough
Speaker 1: He had, Yeah, that was the when we watched. I
Speaker 1: was looking at the years too. It was like laid
Speaker 1: seventies to like mid eighties, like eighty five sweet Spot,
Speaker 1: seventy five years in broadcasting, But we were actually talking.
Speaker 1: You know, his name wasn't on the same level.
Speaker 2: Obviously.
Speaker 1: I knew Bob Barker and Bob you Banks and Chuck Woolry,
Speaker 1: but Marketdal Martindale. I had to look him up, and
Speaker 1: as soon as I saw his face, I knew exactly
Speaker 1: who he was.
Speaker 2: See, I didn't make the link. I knew the name,
Speaker 2: and I would have. I was thinking was an actor,
Speaker 2: and then I saw his face. I was like, oh
Speaker 2: that guy. So anybody who's hearing us right now, you
Speaker 2: probably know the name. You certainly one hundred percent know
Speaker 2: the face. I did not know he's star I had.
Speaker 2: I am just blown away. Now he's a homeboy. This
Speaker 2: guy is from Jackson, Tennessee, was born there. Started his
Speaker 2: career in Jackson, but moved to Memphis, which is where
Speaker 2: he became he really took off, and where he befriended
Speaker 2: a young rock star by the name of Elvis Presley.
Speaker 2: He actually gave one of his first ever television interviews.
Speaker 2: He did with Elvis Presley. I had no idea.
Speaker 1: That's so cool, and I don't know, it's funny, like
Speaker 1: I think about Memphis and Tennessee and back in the day,
Speaker 1: and I still remember him here. I never heard his
Speaker 1: Southern accent from him, so that's actually interesting too.
Speaker 2: Do you ever hear mine? O?
Speaker 1: Yeah, you got a drawl to you?
Speaker 2: Yeah, you do.
Speaker 1: You get a nice Memphis drawl. It's not Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: perfect for broadcasting. It's just a touch, little drop. You
Speaker 1: can tell you're from the South.
Speaker 2: Well, he's great, Wink Martindale. And I also didn't know
Speaker 2: this wink whose name is Wink. Well, his name is
Speaker 2: actually Winston Conrad Martindale as I was born, and he
Speaker 2: got the nickname Wink and it stuck. But he had
Speaker 2: a bunch of shows. Another Little Nugget Gambit was a
Speaker 2: successful show. He was hosting until nineteen seventy five when
Speaker 2: another show came along that became popular and kicked it
Speaker 2: off the air.
Speaker 1: That show was Will of Fortune.
Speaker 2: I launched in nineteen seventy and that was his competition.
Speaker 2: His show went off the air and he ended up
Speaker 2: later doing Tiktac Dough. But just what a career, what
Speaker 2: a life in ninety one. Yes, it's always sad when
Speaker 2: somebody passes, but what an extraordinary life he was able
Speaker 2: to live.
Speaker 1: Yes, and we want to thank him for all the
Speaker 1: years of entertainment he provided so many of us.
Speaker 2: All Right, folks, as you go about your day, as always,
Speaker 2: we'd like for you to consider this as you go
Speaker 2: about your day. It is our quote of a day.
Speaker 1: Yeah, hump day. It's Wednesday. He might have a lot
Speaker 1: of I don't know, arduous tasks ahead of you, so
Speaker 1: I love this quote getting through the week. The difference
Speaker 1: between a stumbling block and a stepping stone is how
Speaker 1: high you raise your foot. That feels empowering. I loved it.
Speaker 2: How you raise your foot you take a bigger step.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, you can look at something as a stumbling
Speaker 1: block because you couldn't lift your foot high enough, or
Speaker 1: you can look at as a stepping stone that's getting
Speaker 1: you closer to your goal.
Speaker 2: It's how you're viewing what's in front of you. Yeah,
Speaker 2: now I get it. And folks, if you don't know,
Speaker 2: Robes is respond before our quotes of the day most times,
Speaker 2: so she puts them in. Sometimes I don't see him
Speaker 2: until this moment. So that's why I'm right now trying
Speaker 2: to piece it together.
Speaker 1: All I can see the light bulb go off in
Speaker 1: your head.
Speaker 2: There it is, so, folks, your quote of the day
Speaker 2: is this the difference between the stombaching block and a
Speaker 2: stepping stone is how high you raise your foot. And
Speaker 2: with that, folks, we certainly hope you have a good
Speaker 2: hopesday Wednesday. Congrats on getting past tax day tax Day,
Speaker 2: and we will of course sue you back here old
Speaker 2: and run tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Tej and I'm Amy Robock. Have a wonderful day everyone,
Speaker 1: See you tomorrow.
