1
00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:04,720
Speaker 1: Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast.

2
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:09,160
Speaker 2: Hello everyone, It's Friday, October fourth.

3
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:12,560
Speaker 1: I'm Amy Robots and I'm TJ Holmes. Thank you so

4
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 1: much for coming along with us on this final morning

5
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:17,799
Speaker 1: run of the week. Hope your Friday's off to a

6
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:20,560
Speaker 1: good start and keeps getting better. But on today's run,

7
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 1: we start with a stunning and graphic lawsuit filed against

8
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 1: country music superstar Garth Brooks, but the sexual assault claims

9
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:34,320
Speaker 1: are nothing more than an extortion scheme, according to Brooks.

10
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:37,200
Speaker 1: We'll get into that. Also, families holding on to hope,

11
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,200
Speaker 1: but grim reality is setting in on the Hurricane Heleen

12
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:42,280
Speaker 1: search and rescue efforts.

13
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:45,240
Speaker 2: And the strike is over for now and ports along

14
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 2: the East and Gulf Coast have reopened for now. Eight

15
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:52,519
Speaker 2: million followers and one murder charge. A popular TikToker is

16
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 2: accused of killing a therapist.

17
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 1: Also a mixed bag of verdicts for the officers accused,

18
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 1: and the beating death of Tyree Nichols and and Grandpa

19
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,680
Speaker 1: Slim Shady. That might take some getting.

20
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 2: Used to it, certainly will. We begin our run today

21
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 2: with a shocking headline Garth Brooks is denying sexual assault

22
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 2: allegations made against him. In a lawsuit file just yesterday

23
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 2: in California, Garth Brooks says this is all part of

24
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,039
Speaker 2: a month's long extortion attempt.

25
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 1: Now, the woman who says she worked for Brooks as

26
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 1: a hair and makeup artist for years, claims Brooks raped

27
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 1: her in an LA hotel room back in twenty nineteen.

28
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 1: According to this suit, she traveled with him from Nashville

29
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 1: to LA to do his hair and makeup for a show,

30
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 1: but he only booked one hotel suite for the two

31
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:41,960
Speaker 1: of them.

32
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 2: She claims Brooks unexpectedly appeared naked in front of her

33
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 2: and within seconds was physically assaulting her. The woman, who

34
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 2: goes by Jane Rowe in the suit claims that after

35
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 2: that rape, Brooks continued on with business as usual and

36
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 2: still expected her to do his hair and makeup, which

37
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 2: she says she did.

38
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: The country music star is responding to the allegations. He

39
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:07,919
Speaker 1: calls them wholly untrue, and he actually filed a preemptive

40
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 1: lawsuit saying the alleged victim had hassled him for months

41
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:15,639
Speaker 1: with quote threats about what his future would be if

42
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 1: he didn't write a check for many millions of dollars.

43
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 1: Brooks also went on to say, it has been like

44
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 1: having a loaded gun waved in my face. Whereas you

45
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 1: and I read through this, we gave limited details, but

46
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 1: this lawsuit is really graphic and horrific in what it described.

47
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, it gets incredibly specific and it's a full twenty

48
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 2: seven pages. So if anyone wants those details, they are

49
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 2: free for you to read everywhere on the internet. And yes,

50
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 2: it shocking is actually an understatement. Garth Brooks is certainly

51
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 2: beloved for his music and for who he is as

52
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 2: a person. Part of the reason why people love his

53
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 2: music so much is they just love him. He's that

54
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,959
Speaker 2: good guy, that nice guy, that family guy. So this

55
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 2: is devastating and disturbing.

56
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 1: And Tricia Yearwood, his wife, of course country music star herself.

57
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: This hair and makeup artist worked for her apparently for

58
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 1: years and years before also starting to work for Garth Brooks.

59
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: Now she says she continued. This woman continued to work

60
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:24,079
Speaker 1: for Brooks afterwards because she was in a financial situation

61
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 1: and she needed the money, and in fact claims that

62
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 1: he took advantage of knowing that she needed the financial help.

63
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 2: Wow, so we will see where this ends up. But

64
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 2: two lawsuits filed, and a lot of country music fans shocks.

65
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 1: And we should be clear here, and we know he's

66
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 1: a superstar. This guy is on lists with names like

67
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 1: Michael Jackson, Elvis Presley, the Beatles, Madonna, all time selling artists.

68
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 1: He is that big of a deal. In the nineties,

69
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 1: he owned the nineties, selling out some of the biggest

70
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 1: stadiums in the world.

71
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 2: He's still selling out stadiums. He's still got more concerts

72
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 2: on his docket. We'll see what happens with all of

73
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 2: that as this story unfold. But next on our ran,

74
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 2: the Menendez brothers are getting a new hearing, and the

75
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 2: question is will that lead to a new trial or

76
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 2: to even possibly a reduced sentence for the brothers. Prosecutors

77
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 2: announced yesterday that they've been given new evidence to consider

78
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 2: that suggests the two were sexually abused by their father.

79
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 1: Now, Eric and Lowelmanndez were convicted and sentenced to a

80
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 1: life in prison without the possibility of parole for the

81
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty nine killing of their parents. This was obviously

82
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: an infamous case. Now at that time, the brothers claimed

83
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 1: that they did this out of fear of years after

84
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 1: years of abuse from their father. They said they were

85
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 1: in fear and that is why they actually killed their parents.

86
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 1: But this wasn't obviously necessarily considered by the jury the

87
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 1: first time around.

88
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 2: That's right, and so prosecutors say now they are reviewing

89
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 2: evidence that supports that claim, evidence, as you point out, TJ,

90
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 2: that was not presented at their original trial. This news

91
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 2: comes just weeks after the series on the Menendez Brothers

92
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,479
Speaker 2: was released and became big hit on Netflix. A hearing

93
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:04,600
Speaker 2: has been set for November twenty ninth.

94
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 1: Next up on the Run, we continue here with a jury,

95
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: a federal jury that has now acquitted three Memphis police

96
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 1: officers of the most serious charges for the beating death

97
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 1: of Tyree Nichols. His twenty twenty three death sparked protests

98
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 1: around the country. You'll remember, after surveillance video was released

99
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 1: showing five officers beating Nickels during a traffic stop.

100
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 2: Two of those officers had already pled guilty and agreed

101
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 2: to testify against the other three officers. Those three were

102
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:38,480
Speaker 2: facing more serious charges for depriving Nickels of his civil rights,

103
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 2: which could have resulted in life sentences. The jury instead

104
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 2: convicted them of lesser charges for obstruction, of justice and

105
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 2: witness tampering.

106
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 1: And the jury in this case deliberated for about six hours.

107
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 1: The men are going to be sentenced in January, facing

108
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,599
Speaker 1: anywhere from ten to twenty years in prison. However, they

109
00:05:55,640 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 1: are also still facing state murder charges, so more to come.

110
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 1: The family here this case robes their reaction to it

111
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 1: and what do you do. They say, Okay, yeah, it

112
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 1: wasn't the most serious charge the one they preferred, but

113
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 1: they're going to jail for something, so that was still

114
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 1: some kind of a comfort to the family.

115
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:15,599
Speaker 2: Nichols stepfather said, a win is a win. They're all

116
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 2: going to jail, and his mother said, we're happy that

117
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 2: they've all been convicted, and so that's just where they

118
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 2: stand right now. They're going to prison and there is

119
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,279
Speaker 2: some accountability for what happened to their son.

120
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:29,919
Speaker 1: We should note here on some may be aware of

121
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 1: this because so many cases did involve that we have

122
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:34,839
Speaker 1: seen in the country where black men, young black men

123
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 1: have been beaten or killed in the hands of a

124
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 1: white police officer. The race is not that type of

125
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 1: factor here. Nichols black, and all five of the officers

126
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 1: involved were black in this case.

127
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:50,280
Speaker 2: And there was video, There was a body cam that

128
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,799
Speaker 2: the jury was able to look at and deliberate after watching.

129
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 2: So there was some undeniable evidence in this case. And

130
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:01,039
Speaker 2: so yes, the family, it's a mixed and mixed emotions,

131
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 2: but at the end of the day, they're at least

132
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 2: relieved and feels some justice was served that there are

133
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 2: prison sentences involved.

134
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 1: I want to continue on the next leg of our

135
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 1: run here, and what has just been kind of a

136
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 1: we apologize a difficult news morning, and Robes. This is

137
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 1: when you pointed out to me yesterday about a popular

138
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 1: TikTok personality a lot of people might know the name

139
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 1: mister Prada. Well, mister Prada has now been charged with

140
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 1: second degree murder after the body of a sixty nine

141
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 1: year old therapist, Nicholas Abraham, was found in a rolled

142
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 1: up tarp near a highway. I'll let to explain what's

143
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 1: going on here. Twenty year old terry On Thomas, who

144
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 1: is mister Prada, is accused in the bludgeoning death of

145
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 1: Abraham and was arrested after he fled from police in

146
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 1: Abraham's car.

147
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 2: Now, it's unclear what the relationship was between the two,

148
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 2: but police said they don't believe that Thomas was a

149
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 2: client of Abraham's. He was seen on surveillance video going

150
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 2: into Thomas's apartment and then hours later so for witnesses

151
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 2: say they saw mister Prada struggling to drag something wrapped

152
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 2: in a blue tarp down the apartment building stairs and

153
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 2: then placing the tarped object in Abraham's car well.

154
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 1: Now, investigators found signs of a struggle in the apartment,

155
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 1: blood throughout, despite indications that someone tried to clean up

156
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 1: before leaving. They describe the murder as very physical, very violent.

157
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 1: This certainly will come as a shock to anyone out

158
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 1: there familiar with mister Prada and apparently has plenty of fans,

159
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 1: has two separate TikTok accounts, both of them have about

160
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 1: four million followers each on it, so a lot of

161
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 1: people are familiar. This is bizarre case. And to your

162
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 1: what you were saying, what is the relationship.

163
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 2: Here right now? What happened between these two? It seemed

164
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 2: deeply personal when you see something that violent. So police

165
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 2: are still struggling to figure out what that relationship was,

166
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 2: and they're also still looking for a motive here in

167
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,679
Speaker 2: this case. So a lot of questions still surrounding this death.

168
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 2: Our run continues this morning with a sad benchmark crossed

169
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 2: in the Hurricane Helena aftermath. More than two hundred people

170
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:04,959
Speaker 2: across six states are now confirmed dead from the storm.

171
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 2: In fact, the latest number stands at two hundred and fifteen.

172
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 1: And North Carolina, my goodness, more than half of all

173
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:16,079
Speaker 1: those deaths are reported in that one state alone. Hundreds

174
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 1: remain missing, and officialll Say hope is running out for

175
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 1: finding many more survivors. At this point, Hurricane Helene may

176
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 1: landfall more than a week ago. Now in Florida as

177
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 1: a powerful Category four storm, it is now the deadliest

178
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,679
Speaker 1: storm we've had in this country since Katrina.

179
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, around seven hundred and fifty thousand people are still

180
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 2: without power, a lot of them without water at this hour.

181
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 2: To President Biden visited the area this week, as did

182
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 2: Trump and Harris, and Biden announced that up to one

183
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 2: thousand active duty soldiers will now join the North Carolina

184
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:51,960
Speaker 2: National Guard to help deliver those badly needed supplies, food

185
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:56,199
Speaker 2: and water to so many cutoff communities in the southeast.

186
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:59,199
Speaker 1: Right, we are going to continue our morning run in

187
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 1: just a moment with the little better news, especially some

188
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 1: good news for folks who were worried about that strike

189
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:14,320
Speaker 1: having an impact on Christmas. Stay with us, all right, folks.

190
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 1: We will continue our Friday morning run now with a

191
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:21,560
Speaker 1: deal has been reached, the long shoreman strike is over

192
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:25,959
Speaker 1: for now. After striking for three days, the International Longshoreman's

193
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:30,320
Speaker 1: Association agreed to suspend the strike until January fifteenth to

194
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 1: give time to negotiate a new contract. We'll take it.

195
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 1: That's something.

196
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 2: We will take it. That means dock workers along the

197
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 2: East and Gulf Coast will now begin to work immediately

198
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 2: through that January deadline. The agreement was reached late yesterday

199
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 2: after the White House put some pressure on the port

200
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 2: owners to offer a larger increase in pay. The owners

201
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 2: had offered workers a fifty percent pay raise, but the

202
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 2: union rejected that said it wasn't enough. They're actually asking

203
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 2: for a seventy seven percent increase over the next six years.

204
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 2: And they want an agreement to stop short automation projects

205
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 2: because they believe that will limit or even kill jobs.

206
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 1: Well, this pause in this strike, I guess now, is

207
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:11,319
Speaker 1: a huge relief for a lot of folks, including consumers

208
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 1: out there. The economists out there say, have this had

209
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:16,840
Speaker 1: gone for more than a few weeks on, consumers would

210
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,200
Speaker 1: have been feeling the pain through a shortage of goods

211
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 1: and higher prices, just as the holiday shopping season is

212
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 1: going to get started, and just as the presidential election approaches.

213
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 1: So this is some good news. We'll take the pause.

214
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, And the White House was clearly invested given the

215
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,199
Speaker 2: timing of this. This was called another one of those

216
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:37,840
Speaker 2: October surprises, so they had a lot of incentive to

217
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 2: try and make sure this thing got at least pushed

218
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 2: past the election.

219
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,840
Speaker 1: You're right. The war, the release of the report on

220
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: trumpshum strike, these were all big things that you can

221
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:52,560
Speaker 1: never really factor into a presidential way.

222
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 2: That absolutely could affect someone's vote if they were feeling

223
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 2: the pain and had someone to blame.

224
00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 1: Well, next up on our run here congratulation elations, Kaitlyn

225
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 1: Clark her awesome twenty twenty four continues. She is now

226
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 1: officially the WNBA Rookie of the Year.

227
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 2: Were you shocked? Were you shocked at the news? TJ?

228
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 1: There is a shocking part. We're gonna get into it. Okay,

229
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 1: that's right.

230
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 2: So it wasn't exactly a chakra that Caitlyn Clark. Even

231
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 2: if you don't watch Women's basketball. It's likely you know

232
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 2: who she is, and she has a long list of

233
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,959
Speaker 2: records and accomplishments from her first season with the Indiana Fever,

234
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 2: including setting the single season record for assists. Just in

235
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 2: April she was playing in the Final four. I mean,

236
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 2: she has had a hell of a year and all

237
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 2: the good ways.

238
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 1: That's crazy to think that was just six months ago

239
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 1: we were watching her in the final four and how

240
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:43,200
Speaker 1: much she has done for women's basketball. And I know

241
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:46,439
Speaker 1: you hit me yesterday, you like, hey, dude, I said, hey,

242
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 1: you know Caitlyn Clark. When I say the name, You're like, yeah, yeah,

243
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 1: you really did. That was my test for a second

244
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,559
Speaker 1: to see. Yeah, everybody's aware of her at this point.

245
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,559
Speaker 1: So congratulations to her. But the shocking part, the only

246
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 1: shocking part to some is if this wasn't unanimous, Like

247
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 1: she wasn't the unanimous pick. There are sixty seven votes.

248
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:06,679
Speaker 1: One person voted for somebody else, so she.

249
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:10,679
Speaker 2: Got sixty six a sixty seven votes and the other

250
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 2: vote went to.

251
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,319
Speaker 1: Angelies of course, the ULSU star that she went head

252
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 1: to head with in college plenty and is into WNBA

253
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 1: as well. She might have had a better shot at

254
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 1: but she got injured later in the year, missed a

255
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 1: good chunk. So but she had a wonderful year. But

256
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 1: it's only sixty. I tried to find out who the

257
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 1: one was that didn't vote for Kaitlin Clark.

258
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 2: Oh are they on the record for that?

259
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,559
Speaker 1: They have to be attached to their vote. I believe

260
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:34,320
Speaker 1: their name.

261
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 2: Is probably that has to make injuries feel a little good.

262
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 2: You know she got Oh yeah, yeah, that's kind of fun.

263
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 2: She broke up the unanimous vote. I love it. I

264
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 2: love it.

265
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:45,960
Speaker 1: We got a final leg of the run here today,

266
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 1: and yes, let's put a smile on your face as

267
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 1: we go. Make you feel a little old maybe as well,

268
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 1: because remember how old were you when you saw that white,

269
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 1: skinny kid with the peroxide and his hair, with the

270
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 1: with the blonde hair out in the beach saying hey,

271
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 1: my name is slim Shady on MTV at some point, right,

272
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:07,200
Speaker 1: I can remember that scene.

273
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 2: Well, I was as old as he was, because we're

274
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 2: the exact same age.

275
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 1: Crazy. He's a grandpa now, yeah, is a grand daddy.

276
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 1: It is about to be. He's fifty one years old.

277
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:18,319
Speaker 1: But he revealed his twenty eight year old daughter, Hayley,

278
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 1: is pregnant with her first baby. Now, this marketing genius

279
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 1: made the announcement in his new music video for the

280
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 1: song Temporary. It came out just yesterday.

281
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, so all the headlines everywhere or that Eminem is

00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 2: a grandpa, are going to be a grandpa? Oh when

283
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 2: he has new music and oh he has a new video,

284
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 2: so yes, brilliant. Indeed, in the video we see Hallie

285
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 2: hand her dad a Detroit Lyons jersey with the word

286
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 2: grandpa in big letters on the back. So a big

287
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 2: congratulations to Eminem and that reminded us we have not

288
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 2: publicly said congratulations to our dear friend Stray.

289
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 1: Yes, Stray has also made the announcement a short time

290
00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 1: ago that he is going to be he it is already.

291
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 1: Oh sorry sorry, he is a new granddad. He's fifty

292
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 1: two years old. But his oldest daughter Tanita, gave birth

293
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 1: to a baby boy, Onyx, last month. He said, little Onyx.

294
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 1: He's trying to figure out he's got a little time

295
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 1: before the kid starts talking, to figure out what he

296
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 1: wants his first grandchild to call him. And we keep

297
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 1: saying straight we talk about Michael strayhand.

298
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, right, I forgot. We didn't make that clear,

299
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 2: Michael straighthand yes he doesn't. You know, it's funny. None

300
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 2: of us. I don't either want to be called grandma

301
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 2: or grandpa. Everyone wants to have like a cool hip name, right,

302
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 2: And a lot of times you may have every intention

303
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 2: of a child calling you something and then they just

304
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 2: say whatever they say, and that's what lands or sticks.

305
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 1: Well, what'd you call your grandparents?

306
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 2: Well, so boring grandmother and grandfather, and then on the

307
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 2: other side it was grandma and grandpa.

308
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 1: It was grandma and granddad. For me, it's all that

309
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 1: grandma and granddad, grandma and granddad.

310
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 2: There's my parents go by Nony and pop. So it's

311
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 2: cute because my mom wanted to be nana and then

312
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 2: my dad calls my mom Joni or Yoni, and so

313
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 2: the first grandchild, Jack ended up just kind of blending

314
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 2: the two and calling her nony. So I always like

315
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 2: when those are the stories where the grandkid makes up

316
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 2: the name. However, do you like this one?

317
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 1: Well?

318
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 2: Straight, it's kind of funny and it's cute. Strayhand was suggesting,

319
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 2: or he jokingly through it that maybe Onyx can call

320
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 2: him gap paw instead of grandpa. Get a gap pa.

321
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 2: His famous his famous smile with the gap.

Speaker 1: That's hilarious.

323
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 2: I mean, if it sticks, it works.

324
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 1: Is that hard for a kid to say? Learning gap? Pa?

325
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 1: Is hard for me to say it.

326
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 2: I don't think it's gonna work.

327

Speaker 1: But Grandpa Shady works. Grandpa Shady works. I like Grandpa Shady.

328

331
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 1: in his music. And to say now and think now
