Speaker 1: Morning Run with Amy and TJ and our Heart Radio podcast.
Speaker 2: It's Monday, September thirtieth, every one, and I'm Amy roboch
Speaker 2: and here and happy despite having watched my Georgia Bulldogs
Speaker 2: lose once again to Alabama.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's how we're gonna start, Yeah, he h On
Speaker 1: this Monday A the folks, I AMDJ Holmes. Hope you
Speaker 1: had a really really good weekend. Of course, it was
Speaker 1: a busy college football weekend, always fun, and it was
Speaker 1: a classic. If you haven't heard about it, yeah, and
Speaker 1: if you haven't seen.
Speaker 3: It, Alabama versus Georgia two versus four.
Speaker 1: Was one of the instant classic is what they call
Speaker 1: it that everybody was talking about over weekend.
Speaker 2: I are people calling it the greatest SEC football game
Speaker 2: they'd ever seen. Clearly they weren't rooting for Georgia.
Speaker 3: It wasn't hyperbole though.
Speaker 1: These were some folks who've been covering for a long
Speaker 1: long time. And if you didn't have a dog in
Speaker 1: a fight, that was a wonderful game. But wherever you
Speaker 1: are today, hope your team won and hope you are
Speaker 1: off to a great start on this Monday day. As
Speaker 1: we start our morning run on this final day of September, Yes.
Speaker 2: On the run today. Things escalated quickly over the weekend
Speaker 2: in back and forth between Hesbela and Israel.
Speaker 1: Also a looming strike, a shipping shutdown, and potential empty
Speaker 1: store shelves, while the next twenty four hours could be
Speaker 1: key to your Christmas.
Speaker 2: Plus help has arrived to rescue those two stranded astronauts,
Speaker 2: but they are still stuck in space for another five months.
Speaker 1: And the Netflix hit Baby Reindeer one Emmy's but lost
Speaker 1: in court. Also another day, another lawsuit against Diddy.
Speaker 2: And for long time beloved even legendary entertainers passed away
Speaker 2: within days of each other, and fans of soap operas Bridgerton,
Speaker 2: Beverly Hills, cop and country music all left in mourning.
Speaker 1: And SNL kicked off its fiftieth season this weekend, and
Speaker 1: Tim Waltz, Joe Biden, dug him Off all made their debuts.
Speaker 2: If you will, well, let's head out on our run now,
Speaker 2: where tensions have intensified in the Middle East Israel. Israeli
Speaker 2: air strikes have now been hitting Beirut in recent days,
Speaker 2: the first time that's happened in a year of conflict.
Speaker 1: At least three three top leaders of Hesbela were killed
Speaker 1: in the air strikes on Sunday. This is an additional
Speaker 1: blow to the group after its leader Hassannazraala was killed Friday.
Speaker 1: At least one hundred people were killed another three hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty injured during the overnight air strikes in Beirut.
Speaker 2: Hesbola is vowing to continue that fight, even as a
Speaker 2: number of their leaders have been targeted and killed. Israel
Speaker 2: continues those air strikes on what it says are Hesbela targets,
Speaker 2: but have destroyed homes, civilian infrastructure, and displaced tens of
Speaker 2: thousands of Lebanese citizens.
Speaker 1: Hesblah has responded by firing rockets into northern israel, An
Speaker 1: area where Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin not In Yahoo has
Speaker 1: been trying to return residents to after the recent fighting.
Speaker 1: But over the weekend things certainly ramped up and got
Speaker 1: more intents in that back and forth. No sign of
Speaker 1: letting up.
Speaker 2: Up On our run, we may be running out of
Speaker 2: a lot of things. If those longshore workers along the
Speaker 2: East and Gulf coasts go on strike tomorrow as expected,
Speaker 2: we may have a major supply issue on our hands.
Speaker 1: And just in time for the holidays. Businesses have been
Speaker 1: nervously watching the deadline looming happens at midnight tonight to
Speaker 1: avoid a strike of tens of thousands of those longshore workers.
Speaker 2: Now the fight is over pay and to protect job security,
Speaker 2: the union is asking for a complete ban on the
Speaker 2: automation of cranes, gates, and container movements for loading and
Speaker 2: loading cargo.
Speaker 1: Goods could be stranded at see if forty five thousand
Speaker 1: members of the International Longshoremen's Association made good on their
Speaker 1: threat to strike, thirty six ports was shut down from
Speaker 1: Maine to Texas. Those ports handled half of the goods
Speaker 1: shipped into and out of the United States and containers.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is a really big deal. Fairly quickly, Americans
Speaker 2: could see shortages in banana and cherries, chocolate, cars, and alcohol.
Speaker 2: And what's available now will likely cost you more, as
Speaker 2: TJ said, just in time for the holidays. And if
Speaker 2: you like to drink and celebrate well, imports like German beer,
Speaker 2: French wine, Scotch and Irish whiskey, Caribbean rum and tequila,
Speaker 2: those could all be impacted within this next month.
Speaker 1: Okay, now you got people's attention. They weren't worried about
Speaker 1: the cherries, but don't mess with the tequila and rum.
Speaker 1: This would be the first such walkout we've seen like
Speaker 1: this on the East Coast since nineteen seventy seven. President
Speaker 1: Biden could seek a court order for an eighty day
Speaker 1: cooling off period. According to White House officials, there are
Speaker 1: currently no plans to get involved in these talks. And
Speaker 1: it's not just amount of it shuts down for a
Speaker 1: day or two that doesn't sound bad, but they say
Speaker 1: it could get them up to a week even to
Speaker 1: get it restarted, to get things up and going again.
Speaker 1: So they can't really afford to go and strike for
Speaker 1: a day or two even it could have a huge impact.
Speaker 2: And the problem is right now on the books, there
Speaker 2: are no plans for either side to so it looks
Speaker 2: like unless someone does reach out on Olive Branch, that
Speaker 2: strike is going to happen. As of midnight, our run
Speaker 2: continues with astronauts stuck in space, but they're one giant
Speaker 2: leap closer to getting home.
Speaker 1: Yes, SpaceX to the rescue. SpaceX launched a rescue mission
Speaker 1: for those two stuck astronauts at the International Space Station
Speaker 1: over the weekend.
Speaker 2: They sent up a downsized crew, a crew minus two
Speaker 2: if you will, so they can bring Butch Wilmer and
Speaker 2: Sunny Williams back to Earth early next year. Wilmer and
Speaker 2: Williams Boeing spacecraft returned to Earth earlier this month without
Speaker 2: them because of some safety concerns, so they are now
Speaker 2: yes stranded at the station for an indefinite amount of time,
Speaker 2: or at least they were okay.
Speaker 1: So the way this works, NASA rotates the crews at
Speaker 1: the space station. They do this every six months, So
Speaker 1: this crew that just went up with the two empty
Speaker 1: seats won't return until late February to keep the schedule,
Speaker 1: so they will bring back the two random ones in
Speaker 1: the two empty seats that they have. So those two
Speaker 1: folks who are up there stranded were supposed to be
Speaker 1: on a mission that was supposed to last a week.
Speaker 1: This is now going to mean they're ultimately going to
Speaker 1: be up there for eight months.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and even getting the rescue crew up there that
Speaker 2: all the astronauts agreed, there were challenges launching a spacecraft
Speaker 2: with just half a crew and then returning with two
Speaker 2: other astronauts who haven't been trained on that spacecraft. They've
Speaker 2: been trained on an entirely different one. So officials say
Speaker 2: they aren't concerned. Everyone is professional. They will act at
Speaker 2: quarterly and they will figure it all out.
Speaker 3: Okay, hopefully this works out.
Speaker 1: The boweling star Liner that left Wilmore and Williams stranded
Speaker 1: in space landed in the New Mexico Desert earlier this
Speaker 1: month without any issues actually happened.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they would have been okay.
Speaker 2: That was the big debate. Could it wasn't going to
Speaker 2: be able to land safely? It did, so they would
Speaker 2: have been all right. But if you're going to throw
Speaker 2: in a bunch of caution, it should be at least
Speaker 2: when it comes back into re entering the Earth. Want
Speaker 2: to make sure you hit the right angle, get at
Speaker 2: the right place in time, and land safely. It did.
Speaker 1: They made the right call. Still, you couldn't roll the dice.
Speaker 1: But you know those astronauts are thinking, man, we could
Speaker 1: have been home now.
Speaker 2: Yeah. And just last week, by the way, Boeing's Defense
Speaker 2: and space chief was replaced, so there were some issues
Speaker 2: that they figured they needed some restructuring on. Next up,
Speaker 2: A judge has now called bs on the claim that
Speaker 2: the Netflix show Baby Reindeer is a true story. Fiona Harvey,
Speaker 2: the real life Martha at the center of the show,
Speaker 2: sued for defamation, saying that show made false claims about her.
Speaker 2: But Netflix this summer asked for her case to be dismissed,
Speaker 2: arguing that the viewer was able to understand that parts
Speaker 2: of the story were fictionalized.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 1: A judge rejected that idea and has just ruled that
Speaker 1: the case can go forward, saying that the hit show,
Speaker 1: which just picked up six Emmys, certainly gives the impression
Speaker 1: that it's a true story since at the beginning of
Speaker 1: the series it flashed, which is the words this is
Speaker 1: a true story on the screen.
Speaker 2: The show was created by Richard Gadd and it tells
Speaker 2: his experience about being stalked and harassed by a woman
Speaker 2: that's Martha in the show and supposedly Fiona Harvey in
Speaker 2: real life. But the woman in the show was convicted
Speaker 2: of a crime depicted as sexually assaulting a man and
Speaker 2: gouging out his eyes, went to prison. But the problem
Speaker 2: is none of those things actually happened in real life,
Speaker 2: according to Harvey's lawsuit.
Speaker 1: So the judge puts it this way, there is a
Speaker 1: major difference between stalking and being convicted of stalking in
Speaker 1: a court of law goes on to say there are
Speaker 1: major differences between inappropriate touching and sexual assault, as well
Speaker 1: as between shoving and gouging another's eyes out. The judge said, absolutely,
Speaker 1: people will walk away with the impression and giving a
Speaker 1: different impression that this woman did things that actually the
Speaker 1: show's shows are much worse than the woman is accused
Speaker 1: of in real life. Even though he said, hey, some
Speaker 1: of the stuff she did in real life is reprehensible,
Speaker 1: it's still not how y'all depicted.
Speaker 3: In the in the show.
Speaker 2: And they didn't put her name out in the show,
Speaker 2: but it didn't take long. You know, the sleuths, the
Speaker 2: internet sluice out there who were trying to figure out
Speaker 2: who this woman is found her real identity pretty quickly,
Speaker 2: and she says she was harassed almost immediately after people
Speaker 2: realized that she was the character that this show is
Speaker 2: based on. Now, the judge, by the way, did dismiss
Speaker 2: parts of Harvey's claims, but gave her the ok to
Speaker 2: pursue her claim of intentional infliction of emotional distress.
Speaker 1: This was a one hundred and seventy million dollar lawsuit
Speaker 1: and a lot obviously this was a huge hit for Netflix,
Speaker 1: but it picked up the Emmy for Outstanding Limited Series.
Speaker 1: The two actors got awards as well, so he got
Speaker 1: six in total, so it's a huge hit. I didn't
Speaker 1: realize what they say. So many studios and people are
Speaker 1: so keen on adding something that shows as a true
Speaker 1: story or that says based on a true story. We've
Speaker 1: seen it. They mints or mix up the words in
Speaker 1: different ways sometimes, but I didn't really. It's such a
Speaker 1: big deal that they tried to push it a little
Speaker 1: bit because it's a apparently a good selling point.
Speaker 3: For the audience.
Speaker 2: Right, true crime sells, and that's certainly been proven over
Speaker 2: the years. But my question is why not just say
Speaker 2: parts of this story have been fictionalized, and at least
Speaker 2: just say that and give yourself that disclaimer.
Speaker 1: So he says he has said that in his comedy
Speaker 1: shows and other places and interviews, but I have never
Speaker 1: seen any of those. You know what, I saw the
Speaker 1: beginning of that show that said this is a true
Speaker 1: story flatly, It didn't say based on it said this
Speaker 1: is a true story, and that might get them intro.
Speaker 1: We'll stay with us here, our morning run is going
Speaker 1: to continue, and yes Diddy stays in jail, but the
Speaker 1: lawsuits keep coming. Next stop on our Monday Morning run
Speaker 1: another lawsuit, Yes, another didty lawsuit, and some of the
Speaker 1: alleged details in this one are pretty awful to hear.
Speaker 1: And this new suit filed over the weekend here in
Speaker 1: New York, a woman claimed she was sexually assaulted over
Speaker 1: a number of years, and as a result of one
Speaker 1: of those assaults, she became pregnant.
Speaker 2: The woman claims she met Combs back in twenty twenty
Speaker 2: and that their relationship continued up until this year. The
Speaker 2: suit claims the woman would see Diddy periodically over the years,
Speaker 2: at which times, she says he would fill her with
Speaker 2: drugs and alcohol to the point she was unconscious and
Speaker 2: then would wake up with bruising and other injuries.
Speaker 1: Now, this is the second new lawsuit he's been hit
Speaker 1: with since he was arrested two weeks ago on federal
Speaker 1: racketeering and sex trafficking charges. We might just be scratching
Speaker 1: the surface here of lawsuits. There is a lawyer in
Speaker 1: Texas who says his verm is representing fifty plus people
Speaker 1: who will be pursuing assault claims charges against Combs.
Speaker 2: Wow, and I just wonder when and how all of
Speaker 2: this would be processed because in the meantime these are
Speaker 2: all civil lawsuits. He's obviously dealing with the big elephant
Speaker 2: in the room, the criminal charges he is facing. He
Speaker 2: is pleaded not guilty to federal charges and a judge
Speaker 2: denied him fail so he will be sitting in jail
Speaker 2: awaiting trial where his life is on the line, and
Speaker 2: these lawsuits seem like they'll keep coming, and we.
Speaker 1: Need to be It's hard to keep up. I know
Speaker 1: a lot of people like which one is what and
Speaker 1: WI was that he was facing even before he was arrested,
Speaker 1: somewhere around ten civil lawsuits, and since he's been in jail,
Speaker 1: this is at least the second one that's coming. Now
Speaker 1: you're talking about a lawyer saying another fifty are coming.
Speaker 1: What a story, What a fall. I don't know how
Speaker 1: all this is going to get worked out. A lot
Speaker 1: of this is just folks want to settle and get money,
Speaker 1: and some of it's I think beyond even the statute
Speaker 1: of limitations has been missed.
Speaker 3: But this is a lot of.
Speaker 1: Folks coming after him for money and damage they say
Speaker 1: he's done to them.
Speaker 2: Well, he's worth a lot of money. Even sitting behind bars.
Speaker 2: That makes a lot of sense.
Speaker 1: Well.
Speaker 2: Our run continues as we remember four entertainment legends who
Speaker 2: pass away over the weekend. We'll begin with Days of
Speaker 2: our live star Drake Hodghiston. He was one of Daytime's
Speaker 2: most beloved stars, and he died on Saturday, one day
Speaker 2: shy of his seventy first birthday.
Speaker 1: And this is how his family put it, quote, it
Speaker 1: is with heavy hearts that we announced the passing of
Speaker 1: Drake Hodgiston. He was thrown the curveball of his life
Speaker 1: when he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, but he faced
Speaker 1: the challenge with their incredible strength and determination. After putting
Speaker 1: up an unbelievable fight, he passed away peacefully surrounded by
Speaker 1: loved ones.
Speaker 3: They say, we love.
Speaker 1: Him and we'll miss him all the days of our lives,
Speaker 1: and so Robes. This is where you I think there
Speaker 1: were several that came through and you said, wow, these
Speaker 1: things always happened in threes, right, and then we're going
Speaker 1: to continue here on, but it ends up in fours
Speaker 1: and who knows what. But it was to see the
Speaker 1: number of these some of these names, and he's not
Speaker 1: just an actor on this show, He's a legend. Been
Speaker 1: playing the character since I don't know what year was
Speaker 1: it done, I should know this number eighty, but forty years.
Speaker 2: It's forty something years. And oh, anyone who grew up
Speaker 2: who was about my age grew up watching soap operas.
Speaker 2: I was an All my Children fan, but all of
Speaker 2: my college roommates were Days of Our Lives fans, and
Speaker 2: so they watched him and the show religiously. These actors
Speaker 2: weren't just as you mentioned actors. They were part of
Speaker 2: our lives. Days of Our Lives is a perfect name
Speaker 2: for the soap opera, but they really came into our
Speaker 2: homes every afternoon, and we felt like we were a
Speaker 2: part of their family. So he will certainly be missed,
Speaker 2: this one. This next legend who we lost. My daughter,
Speaker 2: My twenty one year old daughter texted me just devastated,
Speaker 2: because we love Maggie Smith, the woman that so many
Speaker 2: newer loved is the Dowager Countess of Grantham. Of course,
Speaker 2: that is for all of my down and Abbey fans,
Speaker 2: and then professor of Minervo McGonagall. That, of course reference
Speaker 2: to her character that she played in Harry Potter. The
Speaker 2: singular Maggie Smith died at the age of eighty nine
Speaker 2: and younger generations remember her for her aforementioned Roles Smith
Speaker 2: won her first Oscar more than fifty years ago for
Speaker 2: the nineteen sixty nine film The Prime of Miss Jean Brodiet.
Speaker 1: You mentioned Downton Abbey and Harry Potter. She was classically
Speaker 1: trained as a performer, and she's.
Speaker 3: Got trophies to back this up.
Speaker 1: Two Academy Awards, four Emmy Awards, three Golden Globe Awards,
Speaker 1: five BAFTA Awards and not Tony Wow.
Speaker 2: Yeah, she was an impressive woman. Her two sons had
Speaker 2: this to say about their mother's death. An intensely private person,
Speaker 2: she was friends and family. She was with friends and
Speaker 2: family at the end. She leaves two sons and five
Speaker 2: loving grandchildren who were devastated by the loss of their
Speaker 2: extraordinary mother and grandmother. I love what they said that
Speaker 2: she loved her privacy so much that when she became
Speaker 2: the dowager Countess on Dowton Abbey, she suddenly instantly became
Speaker 2: someone who people recognized and would go up to in
Speaker 2: the streets. And she hated it. She hated every minute
Speaker 2: of it. That was like the downside to playing such
Speaker 2: a iconic role that she suddenly became genuinely famous, and
Speaker 2: she was not a fan.
Speaker 1: You always talk about people have a certain level, the
Speaker 1: right level of fame to where you can enjoy what
Speaker 1: your craft and you're doing, but still walk down the
Speaker 1: street and enjoy some level of privacy, sir. But eighty nine,
Speaker 1: what a life and extraordinary life she lived. This next, actor,
Speaker 1: John Ashton, is not a name that immediately comes to
Speaker 1: people's mind as an actor. Don't know his name, but
Speaker 1: you probably do know Sergeant Taggart, John Taggart from Beverly
Speaker 1: Hills Cop. That John Ashton played that role, and he
Speaker 1: died at the age of seventy six. He passed away peacefully,
Speaker 1: according to his family, September twenty sixth in Colorado is Home.
Speaker 2: I know you were a huge fan of his work.
Speaker 2: His family said that John was a loving husband, brother, father,
Speaker 2: and grandfather who will be deeply missed by all who
Speaker 2: knew him. And yes, he starred opposite Eddie Murphy in
Speaker 2: the Beverly Hills Cop franchise. And I know you'll probably
Speaker 2: be watching that today in honor of John Ashton.
Speaker 3: Sweetheart, you hilarious look to your left.
Speaker 2: The screen it's playing right now, and I actually didn't
Speaker 2: know it until the second. Oh my goodness, I know
Speaker 2: you so well.
Speaker 3: I have those movies on all the time anyway.
Speaker 1: But he played he was kind of the stiff of
Speaker 1: the Beverly Hills Police Department, but he was so great
Speaker 1: and working with Eddie Murphy and how they played off
Speaker 1: each other. So John ashed a fifty year acting career
Speaker 1: from stage and screen on TV a lot as well,
Speaker 1: so he didn't just do those movies. And the last
Speaker 1: one here, this was after you said, wow, these things
Speaker 1: come in threes, and then overnight this came like Wow.
Speaker 1: Couldn't believe it. Chris Christofferson, singer, songwriter, actor, passed away
Speaker 1: the age of eighty eight. He was a rare talent.
Speaker 1: He got to the very top of music and the
Speaker 1: top of Hollywood and left a lasting impression on both.
Speaker 2: He's a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame.
Speaker 2: He started making his first big impression on music as
Speaker 2: a songwriter, and boy does he have some big ones.
Speaker 2: Me and Bobby McGee performed by Janis Joplin. Teacher had
Speaker 2: to look this one up. Do you want to admit
Speaker 2: that you've never heard this song?
Speaker 1: No problematic? I had never in life heard that song
Speaker 1: and I played it this morning. The whole thing such
Speaker 1: a classic.
Speaker 2: It's so good. It's one of my favorites. I might
Speaker 2: be playing that later today a Sunday morning, coming down
Speaker 2: for the Good Times performed by Ray Price, and of
Speaker 2: course he started opposite Barbara Streis and in a Star
Speaker 2: Is Born. This is way before Lady Gaga fans out there.
Speaker 2: This was also a remake, but way back before many
Speaker 2: people's time.
Speaker 1: His families that he died peacefully at his home in Hawaii,
Speaker 1: but you talk about his reach, so those he made
Speaker 1: such an impression as a songwriter. But for the Good
Speaker 1: Times performed by Ray Rice. I wasn't familiar with Ray
Speaker 1: Rice that song, though I listened to this morning, like,
Speaker 1: wait a minute, I know every single lyric of this
Speaker 1: song because it is the song performed by Al Green
Speaker 1: for the Good Times. It was a soulful hit of
Speaker 1: his that I didn't know. I've been singing that song
Speaker 1: my whole life. Chris Christopherson wrote that song, So you
Speaker 1: see the kind of reach somebody has to where me,
Speaker 1: a black kid in Arkansas is rocking out to this
Speaker 1: soulful hit by Al Green, had no idea that Chris
Speaker 1: Christopherson is responsible for the song that's his reach.
Speaker 2: He was amazingly talented and incredible lyricist. And the nice
Speaker 2: thing about you know, folks like this, they live on
Speaker 2: their art and their entertainment lives on so we can
Speaker 2: all continue to enjoy them and all that they did,
Speaker 2: but we celebrate them today. Well, some of the more
Speaker 2: important questions so the presidential campaign season were finally answered everyone.
Speaker 2: I don't know if you missed it. It happened over
Speaker 2: the weekend. They were answered live from.
Speaker 1: New York on Saturday night. It was the season debut
Speaker 1: Saturday Live.
Speaker 3: Folks.
Speaker 1: Everybody were waiting to see what they're gonna do with
Speaker 1: the political players, which ones are going to get the
Speaker 1: SNL treatment for the season.
Speaker 2: We knew that Byer Rudolph was absolutely going to be
Speaker 2: handling Kamala Harris. But who would play Tim Waltz, second
Speaker 2: Gentleman Doug m Hoff, Biden, Trump, jd Vance. These were
Speaker 2: all the big reveals that we saw over the weekend.
Speaker 1: So comedian Jim Gaffigan as Tim Waltz amazing, Adam Sandberg
Speaker 1: as Doug m Hoff, Dana Carvey as Joe Biden, and
Speaker 1: then the Trump and vans were handled by SNL cast
Speaker 1: members James Austen James Austin Johnson, you've seen him play Trump,
Speaker 1: and then SNL cast member Bowen Yang is playing jd Vance.
Speaker 1: But they absolutely Oh the Jim Gaffigan, who he is perfect,
Speaker 1: perfect in this role.
Speaker 2: It was so good and I actually had moments where
Speaker 2: and not that my Rudolph doesn't look like Kamala Harris,
Speaker 2: but if I closed my eyes, I actually thought I
Speaker 2: was hearing Kamala Harris speak. I mean, she really nailed it,
Speaker 2: and it's, oh my gosh. Dana Carvey is Joe Biden.
Speaker 2: I mean, it was a little painful to watch, but
Speaker 2: that made it even funnier in moments, and he looked
Speaker 2: like him.
Speaker 1: As he's older, he's aged now to where he looks
Speaker 1: just I'm not saying Dana Carvey, that's not an insult.
Speaker 1: I'm saying he is just now fall gotten into He
Speaker 1: looked like he was born to play that role. Now
Speaker 1: he's I'm looking forward to the season.
Speaker 2: Oh, it was incredible, and you know, we'll see what
Speaker 2: they do, of course, because tomorrow we have the vice
Speaker 2: presidential debate, so I'm sure SNL will tackle that as well.
Speaker 2: With some of their newly formed cast members, but certainly
Speaker 2: to remind you, yes, we are going to be watching,
Speaker 2: as I'm sure many of you will, tomorrow nine pm
Speaker 2: Eastern time, we will see the vice presidential nominees to
Speaker 2: debate one another. And this is happening here in New
Speaker 2: York City, so it'll be a late night for us,
Speaker 2: but we're gonna stay up and bring you all the latest.
Speaker 2: We're going to do a podcast right on the debate.
Speaker 1: Immediately have of course we are. There's always something that
Speaker 1: unpredictable is going to happen. We can talk all day
Speaker 1: about they gotta do this, and he's got to do this,
Speaker 1: and this is what Nope, every pundit is going to
Speaker 1: be wrong almost because something just unpredictable happens, is what.
Speaker 2: Well. The interesting thing to CBS has already put out
Speaker 2: that they are going to keep the microphones up, so
Speaker 2: there will be hot mics. It'll be a little bit
Speaker 2: different than what we saw with ABC's presidential debate, and
Speaker 2: they are already saying that their moderators are not going
Speaker 2: to be fat checking, that they are expecting the candidates
Speaker 2: to fact check one another. So they are already removing
Speaker 2: that responsibility from their moderators, Nora O'Donnell and Margaret Brennan.
Speaker 1: You know, we'll see how that works. And there's too
Speaker 1: much flying to where it would take too much time
Speaker 1: to call everybody on their stuff. But it almost feels
Speaker 1: like a journalist, like you're not doing your gig if
Speaker 1: you hear something that you know is incorrect.
Speaker 2: It's a little tough because on one hand, what you
Speaker 2: don't want to happen afterwards is for all the debate
Speaker 2: or the finger pointing to be at the moderators for
Speaker 2: not doing good enough job. The left and the right
Speaker 2: both say, hey, you didn't call the candidate, so they're
Speaker 2: just removing that saying nope, will out we're not doing it.
Speaker 2: So y'all have to do it to one another and
Speaker 2: that way, hopefully the conversation can be about the candidates
Speaker 2: and not about the moderators. It's an interesting tactic. It's
Speaker 2: a little questionable as a journalist, but we'll see how
Speaker 2: it works.
Speaker 1: So we look forward to that, and I hope you're
Speaker 1: looking forward to your Monday again. Hope you had a
Speaker 1: good weekend, folks. Thanks for starting your week with us
Speaker 1: on our morning run.
Speaker 3: We'll see soon
