WEBVTT - Weekend Morning Run 

0:00:01.120 --> 0:00:05.800
<v Speaker 1>Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast. Welcome

0:00:05.840 --> 0:00:09.640
<v Speaker 1>everyone to this Saturday edition, a weekend edition of Morning

0:00:09.720 --> 0:00:13.200
<v Speaker 1>Run where we talk about the stories that kept us

0:00:13.280 --> 0:00:17.120
<v Speaker 1>talking after we turned off our microphones on this week's

0:00:17.120 --> 0:00:17.680
<v Speaker 1>Morning runs.

0:00:17.680 --> 0:00:18.880
<v Speaker 2>And we have a ton of.

0:00:18.800 --> 0:00:23.119
<v Speaker 1>Stories to get deeper into, but I don't know, Let's

0:00:23.160 --> 0:00:25.720
<v Speaker 1>begin with perhaps the one that the world is talking about,

0:00:26.200 --> 0:00:31.280
<v Speaker 1>Pope Leo the fourteenth, the first American pope in the

0:00:31.360 --> 0:00:34.840
<v Speaker 1>history of the Vatican. And really, you and I watched

0:00:34.840 --> 0:00:37.400
<v Speaker 1>it happen, and I think, like most of the world,

0:00:38.280 --> 0:00:41.560
<v Speaker 1>we were shocked, and then at least for probably most Americans,

0:00:41.880 --> 0:00:43.720
<v Speaker 1>I felt a sense and a source.

0:00:43.520 --> 0:00:45.159
<v Speaker 3>Of pride, incredibly excited.

0:00:47.400 --> 0:00:51.880
<v Speaker 4>You know, I had some initial concerns about the rest

0:00:51.920 --> 0:00:54.760
<v Speaker 4>of the world being turned off by here they go again,

0:00:54.840 --> 0:00:58.280
<v Speaker 4>we had another American in some power position. We are already, right,

0:00:58.320 --> 0:01:01.880
<v Speaker 4>we're always the the I don't want to call us

0:01:01.880 --> 0:01:03.960
<v Speaker 4>the bully on the block, but oftentimes we're the big dog.

0:01:04.600 --> 0:01:07.320
<v Speaker 4>And now this powerful position is going to an American

0:01:07.319 --> 0:01:09.960
<v Speaker 4>as well. I wondered how people receive that. Obviously a

0:01:10.000 --> 0:01:11.600
<v Speaker 4>lot of people are excited about him, but when you

0:01:11.600 --> 0:01:14.040
<v Speaker 4>start to hear about him, I'm excited about him bringing

0:01:14.080 --> 0:01:18.800
<v Speaker 4>American culture to something as archaic in a lot of

0:01:18.800 --> 0:01:21.240
<v Speaker 4>ways as the Vatican and their traditions.

0:01:20.880 --> 0:01:21.959
<v Speaker 2>And maybe as secretive.

0:01:22.000 --> 0:01:24.839
<v Speaker 1>You know, people, there's always been such mystery and wonder

0:01:24.880 --> 0:01:27.880
<v Speaker 1>about what really happens, what the power structure is truly

0:01:28.000 --> 0:01:31.920
<v Speaker 1>like inside the halls of the Sistine Chapel and beyond

0:01:31.920 --> 0:01:34.520
<v Speaker 1>in the Vatican. But I do think there is, at

0:01:34.600 --> 0:01:38.080
<v Speaker 1>least for us as Americans, there's so much relatability. This

0:01:38.160 --> 0:01:40.440
<v Speaker 1>is a dude who comes from Chicago, He went to

0:01:40.600 --> 0:01:45.880
<v Speaker 1>Villanova University. He has family, obviously still his brothers talking

0:01:45.880 --> 0:01:49.840
<v Speaker 1>to reporters saying he at a young age always knew

0:01:49.920 --> 0:01:53.120
<v Speaker 1>he wanted to go into some sort of service within

0:01:53.160 --> 0:01:56.560
<v Speaker 1>the church. And I believe it's pretty remarkable. Someone came

0:01:56.640 --> 0:01:58.800
<v Speaker 1>up to him, his brother told the story early on

0:01:58.840 --> 0:02:00.600
<v Speaker 1>in his life and said, you're going to be the

0:02:00.640 --> 0:02:04.000
<v Speaker 1>first American pope. That's pretty remarkable that this is a

0:02:04.040 --> 0:02:07.360
<v Speaker 1>man whom I have no reason not to believe.

0:02:07.440 --> 0:02:08.840
<v Speaker 3>I heard stories like that before.

0:02:08.880 --> 0:02:11.359
<v Speaker 4>People who end up in big positions, they say when

0:02:11.360 --> 0:02:12.639
<v Speaker 4>they were a kid, I always knew.

0:02:12.919 --> 0:02:15.400
<v Speaker 1>But I mean, it's a it's kind of a cool

0:02:15.400 --> 0:02:19.280
<v Speaker 1>story that from a very young age, he felt called

0:02:19.800 --> 0:02:23.520
<v Speaker 1>to serve, and I think that is very unusual and

0:02:23.520 --> 0:02:27.000
<v Speaker 1>incredibly remarkable. And to think he actually not just he

0:02:27.320 --> 0:02:30.640
<v Speaker 1>he got there, he was voted on by one hundred

0:02:30.639 --> 0:02:32.519
<v Speaker 1>and thirty two other cardinals.

0:02:32.040 --> 0:02:33.959
<v Speaker 2>Who chose him. So it's it's cool.

0:02:34.000 --> 0:02:36.359
<v Speaker 1>It wasn't some popular election or what the world wanted.

0:02:36.760 --> 0:02:38.760
<v Speaker 1>These cardinals who got to know each other, and most

0:02:38.760 --> 0:02:40.760
<v Speaker 1>of them didn't know one another because they were newly

0:02:40.800 --> 0:02:44.320
<v Speaker 1>appointed by Pope Francis. And I think it's it says

0:02:44.360 --> 0:02:46.160
<v Speaker 1>something about him and who he is that he was

0:02:46.240 --> 0:02:51.200
<v Speaker 1>able to get the collective support from all of these

0:02:51.320 --> 0:02:52.359
<v Speaker 1>cardinals from around the world.

0:02:52.400 --> 0:02:55.519
<v Speaker 4>And the Villanova is a great school. Chicago's a great town.

0:02:56.120 --> 0:03:00.000
<v Speaker 4>But when you think about the elites in this country,

0:03:00.120 --> 0:03:02.400
<v Speaker 4>when the elite schools even you talk about the Ivy

0:03:02.480 --> 0:03:05.600
<v Speaker 4>Leagues and the Harvard's and the all those types of schools,

0:03:05.880 --> 0:03:08.120
<v Speaker 4>Bella was a great school. But in Chicago's a great time.

0:03:08.160 --> 0:03:11.200
<v Speaker 4>But it's still not New York. It's still not La

0:03:11.360 --> 0:03:15.919
<v Speaker 4>There's something still blue collar about those places salting over

0:03:16.080 --> 0:03:18.799
<v Speaker 4>in Chicago. Those are places you've got to be in

0:03:18.840 --> 0:03:20.480
<v Speaker 4>the thick of it, you got to be have a

0:03:20.480 --> 0:03:23.480
<v Speaker 4>little grime to you, there's something it says about him

0:03:23.560 --> 0:03:26.680
<v Speaker 4>those two places, even so I look forward to seeing

0:03:26.760 --> 0:03:29.040
<v Speaker 4>what this guy does. Haven't heard him speaking was yet.

0:03:29.240 --> 0:03:29.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm in school.

0:03:29.840 --> 0:03:32.360
<v Speaker 2>I haven't earlier. Like they've put out some of his

0:03:32.480 --> 0:03:34.560
<v Speaker 2>earlier it not as pope.

0:03:34.600 --> 0:03:37.320
<v Speaker 1>Yes, yes, he's only been speaking in Italian and Spanish,

0:03:37.320 --> 0:03:39.360
<v Speaker 1>that's what we've heard. I know he knows some Latin.

0:03:39.600 --> 0:03:41.720
<v Speaker 1>I believe I was looking he knows. I mean, this

0:03:41.880 --> 0:03:44.600
<v Speaker 1>is a he was living in Peru. He is a

0:03:44.920 --> 0:03:48.000
<v Speaker 1>learned man and knows multiple languages and is going to

0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:50.120
<v Speaker 1>hopefully unite so many people.

0:03:50.200 --> 0:03:50.800
<v Speaker 2>It's exciting.

0:03:50.800 --> 0:03:53.600
<v Speaker 1>It's from the interviews I heard from him earlier, when

0:03:53.640 --> 0:03:54.840
<v Speaker 1>he was just a bishop.

0:03:54.880 --> 0:03:56.840
<v Speaker 2>I hate to say just a bishop or a cardinal.

0:03:57.400 --> 0:03:59.600
<v Speaker 1>But it's funny. My family hails from Michigan. I got

0:03:59.600 --> 0:04:01.600
<v Speaker 1>a lot of fans in Chicago, so there's this like

0:04:01.800 --> 0:04:03.560
<v Speaker 1>classic Chicago accent.

0:04:03.600 --> 0:04:05.160
<v Speaker 2>And to hear him.

0:04:05.080 --> 0:04:08.760
<v Speaker 1>Speak like my family speaks was so interesting because when

0:04:08.760 --> 0:04:11.080
<v Speaker 1>we think of the pope, it just seems like it

0:04:11.160 --> 0:04:15.280
<v Speaker 1>is obviously one of the most powerful positions historically in

0:04:15.320 --> 0:04:18.360
<v Speaker 1>the world. And so to hear him talk like people

0:04:18.480 --> 0:04:22.039
<v Speaker 1>I know and I'm from talk was just an interesting connection.

0:04:23.839 --> 0:04:25.960
<v Speaker 1>So anyway, we're rooting him on and we cannot wait

0:04:26.000 --> 0:04:27.920
<v Speaker 1>to hear what he has to say. He's going to

0:04:27.960 --> 0:04:31.240
<v Speaker 1>be speaking to reporters on Monday, so we'll hopefully maybe

0:04:31.240 --> 0:04:33.880
<v Speaker 1>hear a little bit of English from him. Also, another

0:04:33.960 --> 0:04:38.719
<v Speaker 1>story that kept us talking. You loved this one, TJ.

0:04:39.720 --> 0:04:42.159
<v Speaker 1>Because it's so hard to get your head around. The

0:04:42.279 --> 0:04:46.359
<v Speaker 1>Navy found a way in less than a week to

0:04:46.520 --> 0:04:52.760
<v Speaker 1>literally lose two seventy eighty million dollar Fa eighteen fighter

0:04:52.839 --> 0:04:54.279
<v Speaker 1>jets in the ocean.

0:04:54.000 --> 0:04:56.760
<v Speaker 4>Then lose him in battle. They weren't shot down by

0:04:56.760 --> 0:04:59.839
<v Speaker 4>the enemy. They fell off the side of an aircraft carrier,

0:05:00.160 --> 0:05:03.560
<v Speaker 4>same one. Somebody's got to get fired for this something.

0:05:03.600 --> 0:05:06.680
<v Speaker 4>But an investigator, should planes even be taking off from

0:05:06.720 --> 0:05:08.039
<v Speaker 4>that aircraft carrier anymore?

0:05:08.279 --> 0:05:09.800
<v Speaker 3>This is wild to me. This is in the Red Sea.

0:05:09.839 --> 0:05:13.359
<v Speaker 4>Of course they're supporting the US operation against the Huthis

0:05:13.560 --> 0:05:15.760
<v Speaker 4>is what this aircraft carrier the USS.

0:05:15.480 --> 0:05:17.520
<v Speaker 2>Truman, right, Yes, USS Truman one.

0:05:18.000 --> 0:05:20.560
<v Speaker 4>The toe crew just lost control of the one as

0:05:20.600 --> 0:05:24.479
<v Speaker 4>they were towing it. It just rolled, literally rolled off

0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:28.279
<v Speaker 4>the side of an aircraft carrier. Eight days later, another one

0:05:28.320 --> 0:05:31.520
<v Speaker 4>trying to land misses the hook. It can't slow down,

0:05:31.560 --> 0:05:35.560
<v Speaker 4>can't stop, so it rolls right off the side. Nobody

0:05:35.560 --> 0:05:38.479
<v Speaker 4>no major injuries, we should say, but this blows my

0:05:38.880 --> 0:05:43.239
<v Speaker 4>mind that we can just waste we just dropping planes.

0:05:43.520 --> 0:05:46.120
<v Speaker 2>It's it's frightening and hard to imagine.

0:05:46.120 --> 0:05:48.960
<v Speaker 1>Like and thankfully, look, I have had a unique experience

0:05:48.960 --> 0:05:52.960
<v Speaker 1>to actually be in an air on a Fa eighteen

0:05:53.000 --> 0:05:55.920
<v Speaker 1>and land on aircraft carrier the HW Bush. This is

0:05:56.000 --> 0:05:58.360
<v Speaker 1>years and years ago. But when you hook on that

0:05:58.640 --> 0:06:01.080
<v Speaker 1>on that line, it's you have the tail and it

0:06:01.120 --> 0:06:03.479
<v Speaker 1>hooks on. You go from like, I don't know, eight

0:06:03.600 --> 0:06:05.760
<v Speaker 1>hundred miles an hour to zero in three seconds. This

0:06:05.920 --> 0:06:10.080
<v Speaker 1>is like a very carefully calculated car crash. The impact

0:06:10.080 --> 0:06:13.600
<v Speaker 1>of just getting to a complete stop when you're at

0:06:13.640 --> 0:06:15.440
<v Speaker 1>such a high rate of speed for them to just

0:06:15.560 --> 0:06:18.640
<v Speaker 1>keep going, I can't even imagine. So remarkably they were

0:06:18.680 --> 0:06:21.160
<v Speaker 1>able to eject. They probably just had seconds to do

0:06:21.200 --> 0:06:24.839
<v Speaker 1>so I'm thinking about that the level of expertise those

0:06:24.839 --> 0:06:26.960
<v Speaker 1>pilots had to have to actually even get out of

0:06:26.960 --> 0:06:29.920
<v Speaker 1>there safely with minor injuries. And so that's the good

0:06:29.920 --> 0:06:33.560
<v Speaker 1>news that no one was hurt. But someone has to

0:06:33.560 --> 0:06:36.800
<v Speaker 1>explain or account for almost two hundred million dollars of

0:06:36.880 --> 0:06:38.520
<v Speaker 1>equipment just falling into the sea.

0:06:38.600 --> 0:06:42.160
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, this is look, we expect losses, but like if

0:06:42.160 --> 0:06:45.640
<v Speaker 4>it happens in war and military operations, you can't just

0:06:45.640 --> 0:06:47.799
<v Speaker 4>be dropping stuff off the side into the water.

0:06:48.040 --> 0:06:52.240
<v Speaker 1>The first one had you talking, the second one your

0:06:52.279 --> 0:06:52.760
<v Speaker 1>jaw drops.

0:06:52.839 --> 0:06:54.800
<v Speaker 4>They have got to stop that. They need to take

0:06:54.800 --> 0:06:58.080
<v Speaker 4>the USS Truman out of commission. I forgot what's going on?

0:06:59.120 --> 0:07:01.840
<v Speaker 1>All right, So you know, here's another story that just

0:07:01.920 --> 0:07:05.720
<v Speaker 1>it had us ah sad. And then moving on to

0:07:05.839 --> 0:07:08.960
<v Speaker 1>a larger question. So the news of Smokey Robinson in

0:07:09.000 --> 0:07:14.000
<v Speaker 1>this fifty million dollar lawsuit. This is a Motown legend.

0:07:14.360 --> 0:07:17.400
<v Speaker 1>His music is iconic and still holds to this day.

0:07:17.680 --> 0:07:20.200
<v Speaker 1>You love him, you love his voice, and then you

0:07:20.240 --> 0:07:23.480
<v Speaker 1>hear these heinous acts he's accused of committing by four

0:07:23.560 --> 0:07:27.800
<v Speaker 1>women who were housekeepers at his home, saying that they

0:07:28.000 --> 0:07:31.640
<v Speaker 1>were repeatedly sexually assaulted and raped, some of them two

0:07:31.680 --> 0:07:34.600
<v Speaker 1>of them, I believe, saying more than twenty times. And

0:07:34.640 --> 0:07:37.880
<v Speaker 1>it gets into this larger question of can you you know,

0:07:37.920 --> 0:07:41.000
<v Speaker 1>we don't know. He hasn't been proven to have done

0:07:41.000 --> 0:07:43.040
<v Speaker 1>any of these crimes or convicted of anything.

0:07:43.440 --> 0:07:44.360
<v Speaker 2>But then you still.

0:07:44.120 --> 0:07:46.320
<v Speaker 1>Start to wonder, can you separate the art from the

0:07:46.440 --> 0:07:48.440
<v Speaker 1>artist when you hear these types of allegations, we.

0:07:48.400 --> 0:07:49.040
<v Speaker 3>Should maintain it.

0:07:49.040 --> 0:07:51.160
<v Speaker 4>We should also make sure we say he has maintained

0:07:51.160 --> 0:07:51.640
<v Speaker 4>his innocence.

0:07:51.680 --> 0:07:52.160
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely.

0:07:52.920 --> 0:07:55.840
<v Speaker 4>These are vile and false allegations from people trying to

0:07:55.840 --> 0:07:58.480
<v Speaker 4>shake them down for money. We have seen cases like

0:07:58.520 --> 0:08:01.200
<v Speaker 4>that before. I'm sure we have also in cases where

0:08:01.200 --> 0:08:03.200
<v Speaker 4>people have been accused and things like this and turn

0:08:03.240 --> 0:08:07.200
<v Speaker 4>out and end up guilty. Not suggesting that about Smokey.

0:08:07.240 --> 0:08:09.880
<v Speaker 4>It's just it's eighty. He's eighty five years old. We

0:08:09.960 --> 0:08:11.960
<v Speaker 4>call a motown legend, but he started that.

0:08:12.040 --> 0:08:13.040
<v Speaker 3>He was an original.

0:08:13.080 --> 0:08:15.600
<v Speaker 4>He was like, he's royalty when it comes to music

0:08:15.640 --> 0:08:20.560
<v Speaker 4>and certainly motown. We were asked this question something completely unrelated,

0:08:20.760 --> 0:08:23.840
<v Speaker 4>having to do with Woody Allen right watching his art.

0:08:23.920 --> 0:08:26.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you can you watch his movies knowing what you

0:08:27.000 --> 0:08:28.760
<v Speaker 1>know about him, and.

0:08:28.920 --> 0:08:30.720
<v Speaker 3>What do you do? What do we do?

0:08:31.160 --> 0:08:34.960
<v Speaker 4>Again, Smokey Robinson is innocent. We just this is is said,

0:08:35.000 --> 0:08:37.880
<v Speaker 4>He's innocent. I'm saying we It just reminded us in

0:08:38.080 --> 0:08:40.760
<v Speaker 4>that conversation, what do you do with artists who are

0:08:41.800 --> 0:08:44.040
<v Speaker 4>accused of really heinous things or even convicted?

0:08:44.440 --> 0:08:45.439
<v Speaker 3>What do you do with their art?

0:08:45.600 --> 0:08:50.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? You start thinking about r Kelly Michael Jackson, Sean

0:08:50.040 --> 0:08:53.720
<v Speaker 1>Diddy Coombs. These are people who have created art and

0:08:53.840 --> 0:08:57.360
<v Speaker 1>music that is truly phenomenal.

0:08:56.840 --> 0:08:58.200
<v Speaker 3>Oh, legendary stuff all.

0:08:58.080 --> 0:09:02.520
<v Speaker 1>Time great and like nostalgic and takes you back and

0:09:02.880 --> 0:09:04.960
<v Speaker 1>you know you love listening to because you remember where

0:09:04.960 --> 0:09:07.000
<v Speaker 1>you were and all of that stuff. Do you have

0:09:07.080 --> 0:09:10.040
<v Speaker 1>to stop watching? Do you have to stop listening? Can

0:09:10.080 --> 0:09:13.840
<v Speaker 1>you find a way to appreciate without feeling like you're

0:09:13.840 --> 0:09:14.800
<v Speaker 1>doing something wrong?

0:09:14.920 --> 0:09:15.720
<v Speaker 3>Well a couple questions.

0:09:16.000 --> 0:09:18.160
<v Speaker 4>Is that just a personal should that only be a

0:09:18.200 --> 0:09:23.079
<v Speaker 4>personal conflict and a personal question. But what turns into

0:09:23.120 --> 0:09:26.000
<v Speaker 4>an issue is that someone else takes issue with you

0:09:26.800 --> 0:09:28.360
<v Speaker 4>with the personal choice you have made.

0:09:28.720 --> 0:09:32.000
<v Speaker 1>See that's where I actually do think one hundred percent

0:09:32.040 --> 0:09:33.960
<v Speaker 1>it is a personal choice, and I don't think that

0:09:34.000 --> 0:09:36.960
<v Speaker 1>you should impose what you choose on other people. I'm

0:09:36.960 --> 0:09:40.800
<v Speaker 1>someone who believes and who has been able to judge

0:09:40.840 --> 0:09:44.040
<v Speaker 1>me if you'd like. But I can separate the art

0:09:44.080 --> 0:09:47.160
<v Speaker 1>from the artist. I think about it a little bit,

0:09:47.640 --> 0:09:50.520
<v Speaker 1>But sometimes I have to admit I still enjoy a

0:09:50.559 --> 0:09:52.480
<v Speaker 1>lot of this music and a lot of those.

0:09:52.360 --> 0:09:53.560
<v Speaker 2>Movies, And you know you could.

0:09:53.800 --> 0:09:56.360
<v Speaker 1>There's so many and I just feel like there are

0:09:56.400 --> 0:09:58.280
<v Speaker 1>so many things we don't know about people. If you're

0:09:58.280 --> 0:10:00.520
<v Speaker 1>going to start now looking at every single person, even

0:10:00.600 --> 0:10:03.120
<v Speaker 1>look at politicians, what they've done in the past, what

0:10:03.120 --> 0:10:05.720
<v Speaker 1>they've been accused of doing, everybody. And I just feel

0:10:05.760 --> 0:10:08.839
<v Speaker 1>like I couldn't consume anything because and I'm not saying

0:10:08.880 --> 0:10:11.959
<v Speaker 1>that some acts aren't more heinous than others, but still,

0:10:12.400 --> 0:10:15.000
<v Speaker 1>I just feel like it's the glass house thing for me.

0:10:16.000 --> 0:10:18.679
<v Speaker 1>You know, throw the stones, but just remember you live

0:10:18.720 --> 0:10:21.520
<v Speaker 1>in a glass house. We're all sinners, We've all made mistakes,

0:10:21.520 --> 0:10:23.880
<v Speaker 1>and I'm not again, I'm not comparing, but I just

0:10:23.960 --> 0:10:27.440
<v Speaker 1>try to keep that in mind, and I personally still

0:10:27.559 --> 0:10:29.040
<v Speaker 1>choose to enjoy the art.

0:10:29.160 --> 0:10:32.080
<v Speaker 4>You know what, I have a limit. I just realized

0:10:32.360 --> 0:10:34.920
<v Speaker 4>that there are some things I don't want to name, folks,

0:10:35.000 --> 0:10:37.120
<v Speaker 4>but there are some artists who have done things in

0:10:37.160 --> 0:10:38.320
<v Speaker 4>particularly use the N word.

0:10:38.640 --> 0:10:40.240
<v Speaker 2>Yes, I get that.

0:10:39.920 --> 0:10:43.280
<v Speaker 4>That I don't make a conscious decision that I refuse.

0:10:43.640 --> 0:10:46.280
<v Speaker 4>I just see the name or see the song come up.

0:10:46.480 --> 0:10:48.400
<v Speaker 2>Now I know I know some of the people you're

0:10:48.440 --> 0:10:51.880
<v Speaker 2>talking about. That makes that makes it perfect natural for me.

0:10:51.960 --> 0:10:54.400
<v Speaker 3>Folks who have been caught doing some stuff that I.

0:10:54.400 --> 0:10:57.120
<v Speaker 1>But could you like, could you stop? Would you want

0:10:57.160 --> 0:10:59.480
<v Speaker 1>to watch stop? Watching Harvey Weinstein movies. I mean, where

0:10:59.480 --> 0:11:02.040
<v Speaker 1>do you draw the lo There's just so many.

0:11:02.160 --> 0:11:03.920
<v Speaker 3>I think that's a big thing there.

0:11:03.960 --> 0:11:06.360
<v Speaker 4>So how can I I look at a name and

0:11:06.400 --> 0:11:08.160
<v Speaker 4>I'm still turned off because that person is using an

0:11:08.160 --> 0:11:10.679
<v Speaker 4>in word and I just doesn't work for me. But

0:11:10.720 --> 0:11:14.600
<v Speaker 4>then I don't have the same reaction to a Michael

0:11:14.679 --> 0:11:16.040
<v Speaker 4>Jackson or an R. Kelly song.

0:11:16.360 --> 0:11:17.600
<v Speaker 3>Now why is it TJ?

0:11:18.120 --> 0:11:20.960
<v Speaker 4>Somebody could fairly ask, yeah, wait, you got one problem

0:11:20.960 --> 0:11:23.240
<v Speaker 4>with this one word. You won't listen to that. But

0:11:23.960 --> 0:11:25.960
<v Speaker 4>these folks have been accused of some of the most

0:11:25.960 --> 0:11:29.320
<v Speaker 4>heinous things you and one is in jail, so why not?

0:11:29.440 --> 0:11:31.760
<v Speaker 3>So what is that that's personal me? And I don't

0:11:31.920 --> 0:11:32.439
<v Speaker 3>really have an.

0:11:32.360 --> 0:11:33.760
<v Speaker 2>Answer, and I don't think you have to explain.

0:11:33.800 --> 0:11:35.679
<v Speaker 3>It's to explain.

0:11:35.400 --> 0:11:39.199
<v Speaker 2>To myself, you know, what's something that needs explanation.

0:11:39.240 --> 0:11:42.280
<v Speaker 1>And we had a lot of conversation about this NFL

0:11:42.400 --> 0:11:47.520
<v Speaker 1>fan who's sued, or at least a football fan sued

0:11:47.559 --> 0:11:50.760
<v Speaker 1>the NFL for one hundred million dollars because he got

0:11:50.840 --> 0:11:55.600
<v Speaker 1>so upset and had so much trauma over watching Chador Sanders'

0:11:56.040 --> 0:11:57.800
<v Speaker 1>NFL draft debacle happened.

0:11:57.880 --> 0:12:00.920
<v Speaker 4>I wish Shaduur would respond to this would really brohad

0:12:01.000 --> 0:12:01.440
<v Speaker 4>or tough night.

0:12:02.200 --> 0:12:04.240
<v Speaker 2>It was hard for you? Was how hard was it

0:12:04.280 --> 0:12:04.640
<v Speaker 2>for you?

0:12:04.720 --> 0:12:07.200
<v Speaker 3>Frivolous? Right, this is what we should call. This is frivolous.

0:12:07.200 --> 0:12:09.560
<v Speaker 4>But just the idea, it was so ridiculous.

0:12:09.760 --> 0:12:12.880
<v Speaker 3>Look, I you know, I we both suffered. We had

0:12:12.880 --> 0:12:13.839
<v Speaker 3>trauma watching this game.

0:12:13.960 --> 0:12:15.200
<v Speaker 2>You had a lot of trauma.

0:12:15.240 --> 0:12:16.720
<v Speaker 3>Oh we say trauma.

0:12:17.280 --> 0:12:19.640
<v Speaker 2>I suggested a class action lawsuit that you could join.

0:12:21.400 --> 0:12:27.000
<v Speaker 3>I will no, you know what I the suggestion. I know,

0:12:27.360 --> 0:12:28.400
<v Speaker 3>I don't know how.

0:12:28.280 --> 0:12:30.679
<v Speaker 4>To see this as anything other than ridiculous. And I'm

0:12:30.679 --> 0:12:32.800
<v Speaker 4>trying to justify it in some way because we were

0:12:33.440 --> 0:12:35.120
<v Speaker 4>We watched it, and our heart went out to that

0:12:35.240 --> 0:12:37.440
<v Speaker 4>kid to see him drop, and the draft the way

0:12:37.440 --> 0:12:38.800
<v Speaker 4>it did, and the way people were talking about and

0:12:38.840 --> 0:12:40.679
<v Speaker 4>continue to talk about your heart hurts from it.

0:12:40.720 --> 0:12:43.280
<v Speaker 2>And then the prank that it happened afterwards.

0:12:43.320 --> 0:12:44.439
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it was just it was just he just

0:12:44.520 --> 0:12:47.240
<v Speaker 1>kept getting it was he was getting piled on and

0:12:47.280 --> 0:12:47.679
<v Speaker 1>on and on.

0:12:47.720 --> 0:12:49.360
<v Speaker 2>It was just it was almost too much for him.

0:12:49.400 --> 0:12:50.720
<v Speaker 3>Why does anyone.

0:12:50.400 --> 0:12:52.200
<v Speaker 4>Really think they're going to get a dime out of this?

0:12:52.280 --> 0:12:54.400
<v Speaker 4>What is the point Why would you take the time

0:12:54.520 --> 0:12:55.920
<v Speaker 4>to draft this lawsuit?

0:12:56.040 --> 0:12:58.080
<v Speaker 2>Does he have a lawyer, did he do it pro se?

0:12:58.360 --> 0:13:01.160
<v Speaker 1>And I just feel like, at the very least there

0:13:01.200 --> 0:13:03.679
<v Speaker 1>are going to be legal costs.

0:13:03.600 --> 0:13:04.840
<v Speaker 2>Incurred because of this.

0:13:05.040 --> 0:13:07.959
<v Speaker 1>And that's what drives me crazy about these frivolous lawsuits.

0:13:07.960 --> 0:13:09.040
<v Speaker 1>If you want to make a point, you want to

0:13:09.040 --> 0:13:11.439
<v Speaker 1>make a statement, go on social media, go on TikTok.

0:13:11.600 --> 0:13:14.360
<v Speaker 1>Start involving the US court system, which should be used

0:13:14.360 --> 0:13:19.120
<v Speaker 1>and preserved for actual, real lawsuits, people who actually need remedy,

0:13:19.440 --> 0:13:21.800
<v Speaker 1>people who actually deserve some sort of.

0:13:23.240 --> 0:13:23.720
<v Speaker 2>Settlement.

0:13:23.840 --> 0:13:25.880
<v Speaker 1>And I just get frustrated when I see this because

0:13:25.920 --> 0:13:29.280
<v Speaker 1>it clogs our legal system and it's annoying.

0:13:29.679 --> 0:13:31.480
<v Speaker 4>You know me, I always want to hear the other side.

0:13:31.640 --> 0:13:34.600
<v Speaker 4>I would what could they possibly say? Or I go okay, man,

0:13:35.240 --> 0:13:35.720
<v Speaker 4>I get it.

0:13:36.000 --> 0:13:38.240
<v Speaker 1>I would say, let's get him on the podcast. Except for,

0:13:38.960 --> 0:13:44.560
<v Speaker 1>like most frivolous lawsuits, he filed it anonymously. Yeah yeah,

0:13:44.559 --> 0:13:47.079
<v Speaker 1>this is a John Doe. And that's even more annoying.

0:13:47.160 --> 0:13:50.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't think you should be allowed to file an

0:13:50.040 --> 0:13:52.240
<v Speaker 1>anonymous lawsuit something like this.

0:13:52.200 --> 0:13:54.959
<v Speaker 2>With that amount of money. Put your name on it.

0:13:55.280 --> 0:13:56.360
<v Speaker 2>That's what I would say to that.

0:14:04.720 --> 0:14:08.160
<v Speaker 1>Anyone who's flying right has dealt with and we're concerned

0:14:08.200 --> 0:14:12.040
<v Speaker 1>about this real ID deadline. The cool news from everything

0:14:12.080 --> 0:14:14.200
<v Speaker 1>I've seen about this, because this was really concerning because

0:14:14.240 --> 0:14:16.000
<v Speaker 1>we already know what the delays are like, the lines

0:14:16.040 --> 0:14:18.800
<v Speaker 1>are like. When you're trying to fly now with the

0:14:18.800 --> 0:14:23.440
<v Speaker 1>real ID deadline, which happened on Wednesday, you cannot go

0:14:23.520 --> 0:14:26.000
<v Speaker 1>through the normal lines and the normal procedures if you

0:14:26.040 --> 0:14:30.120
<v Speaker 1>don't have a star a real ID on your driver's license.

0:14:30.600 --> 0:14:34.320
<v Speaker 1>I am among that group. So funny enough, the problem

0:14:34.360 --> 0:14:37.480
<v Speaker 1>has been now the DMV lines. Everyone trying to get

0:14:37.480 --> 0:14:42.640
<v Speaker 1>the real ID, but so far it appears in the airports.

0:14:42.680 --> 0:14:45.200
<v Speaker 1>In the airlines, they actually have a separate area for

0:14:45.240 --> 0:14:48.240
<v Speaker 1>people who don't have this specific ID and don't have

0:14:48.280 --> 0:14:53.160
<v Speaker 1>a passport. Yeah, they've actually designated areas, and it's been

0:14:53.200 --> 0:14:57.080
<v Speaker 1>reported that so far things have gone fairly smoothly. The

0:14:57.200 --> 0:15:00.440
<v Speaker 1>big issue are what's happening at the local DMA. Like

0:15:00.520 --> 0:15:03.240
<v Speaker 1>I looked here in New York to try and get

0:15:03.280 --> 0:15:06.600
<v Speaker 1>an appointment, and all the way through August, there is

0:15:06.640 --> 0:15:09.440
<v Speaker 1>not one DMV office in all of Manhattan that I

0:15:09.480 --> 0:15:13.080
<v Speaker 1>can get an appointment to so far through Labor Day.

0:15:13.920 --> 0:15:16.960
<v Speaker 1>That's kind of crazy. So I know we've been told

0:15:17.160 --> 0:15:20.280
<v Speaker 1>about the fact that we needed to get our IDs updated, but.

0:15:20.440 --> 0:15:23.680
<v Speaker 2>Nobody ever does anything until the last minute.

0:15:23.800 --> 0:15:24.640
<v Speaker 3>Twenty years.

0:15:25.640 --> 0:15:29.080
<v Speaker 4>Okay, you've known about this for twenty years, folks. Literally

0:15:29.880 --> 0:15:32.240
<v Speaker 4>the Real Idea Act was passed in two thousand and five.

0:15:32.320 --> 0:15:35.800
<v Speaker 1>But then every time I've certainly gotten my ID renewed

0:15:35.920 --> 0:15:37.000
<v Speaker 1>in twenty years.

0:15:36.880 --> 0:15:39.280
<v Speaker 3>You had the option for real ID, didn't you.

0:15:38.840 --> 0:15:40.160
<v Speaker 2>You know what? I remember? I did?

0:15:41.080 --> 0:15:42.400
<v Speaker 1>You know what? I didn't know that I had to

0:15:42.400 --> 0:15:45.520
<v Speaker 1>bring some utility bill after I'd had a driver's license

0:15:45.520 --> 0:15:48.040
<v Speaker 1>and a New York driver's license for twenty years, that

0:15:48.160 --> 0:15:49.960
<v Speaker 1>now I suddenly had to bring a utility bill.

0:15:50.040 --> 0:15:50.760
<v Speaker 3>I know that's tough.

0:15:50.800 --> 0:15:52.840
<v Speaker 4>I know the internet is tough to find information out

0:15:52.840 --> 0:15:55.080
<v Speaker 4>there sometimes about what you need to bring for your

0:15:55.160 --> 0:15:57.960
<v Speaker 4>DMV appointment. I know it's tough. This is one I get.

0:15:58.040 --> 0:16:00.240
<v Speaker 4>But this is a tough one. I'm talking issue about

0:16:00.240 --> 0:16:02.240
<v Speaker 4>the rest of y'all. But the only reason I have

0:16:02.400 --> 0:16:06.960
<v Speaker 4>a real idea is because I had a motorcycle license

0:16:07.040 --> 0:16:09.440
<v Speaker 4>update within the past two years, so I had to

0:16:09.440 --> 0:16:12.120
<v Speaker 4>get a new license with A and so they gave

0:16:12.160 --> 0:16:14.920
<v Speaker 4>me a I got a new one. So yes, I'm

0:16:14.920 --> 0:16:17.000
<v Speaker 4>going to settle my high real ID horse and look

0:16:17.000 --> 0:16:17.360
<v Speaker 4>down at.

0:16:17.320 --> 0:16:17.880
<v Speaker 3>The rest of you.

0:16:17.920 --> 0:16:20.640
<v Speaker 1>But here that's fine. But here's what I don't understand

0:16:20.840 --> 0:16:23.360
<v Speaker 1>this real ID. How is it any different than when

0:16:23.360 --> 0:16:25.280
<v Speaker 1>I first got my first ID? Because when I first

0:16:25.320 --> 0:16:27.600
<v Speaker 1>got my first driver's license at the age of sixteen,

0:16:27.720 --> 0:16:29.840
<v Speaker 1>I had to show proof of residency, I had to

0:16:29.880 --> 0:16:33.480
<v Speaker 1>show my birth certificate, I had to show my Social

0:16:33.480 --> 0:16:36.320
<v Speaker 1>Security card. So I've done all of these things. Why

0:16:36.320 --> 0:16:39.160
<v Speaker 1>do I have to now go in and repeat the process?

0:16:39.440 --> 0:16:39.840
<v Speaker 3>Safety?

0:16:39.880 --> 0:16:42.200
<v Speaker 4>It was supposed to be for a safety and have

0:16:42.240 --> 0:16:44.520
<v Speaker 4>a uniform system across the country. And this was after

0:16:44.720 --> 0:16:47.040
<v Speaker 4>nine to eleven, So this was a security measure put

0:16:47.080 --> 0:16:49.240
<v Speaker 4>in place specifically to make us all uniform, make us

0:16:49.240 --> 0:16:49.600
<v Speaker 4>all safer.

0:16:49.680 --> 0:16:52.000
<v Speaker 1>And if it was so important after nine to eleven,

0:16:52.040 --> 0:16:54.520
<v Speaker 1>ye in two thousand and one, why is it only

0:16:54.560 --> 0:16:57.640
<v Speaker 1>now in twenty twenty five we're doing it, we're implementing,

0:16:57.760 --> 0:17:02.600
<v Speaker 1>we're enforcing it. When for the past twenty years, what

0:17:02.760 --> 0:17:05.080
<v Speaker 1>has been the Why has there not been urgency? Why

0:17:05.119 --> 0:17:06.080
<v Speaker 1>is the urgency now?

0:17:06.680 --> 0:17:09.400
<v Speaker 4>They just wanted to get procrastinators enough time to do it,

0:17:09.480 --> 0:17:11.160
<v Speaker 4>and they thought twenty years might be enough.

0:17:11.800 --> 0:17:13.760
<v Speaker 2>So apparently that's not the case.

0:17:13.920 --> 0:17:17.160
<v Speaker 3>An urgency, Well, the deadline has been a place for years.

0:17:17.160 --> 0:17:19.280
<v Speaker 1>My point is, if it was so urgent that the

0:17:19.359 --> 0:17:21.720
<v Speaker 1>nine to eleven Commission said this is something we need

0:17:21.760 --> 0:17:25.720
<v Speaker 1>to do for the safety of our airlines and our

0:17:26.160 --> 0:17:28.000
<v Speaker 1>Congress air safety.

0:17:27.680 --> 0:17:30.840
<v Speaker 4>Say again, congressis Congress one is?

0:17:30.880 --> 0:17:33.520
<v Speaker 1>It couldn't have been that important if we could wait

0:17:33.560 --> 0:17:34.400
<v Speaker 1>twenty years.

0:17:34.680 --> 0:17:37.439
<v Speaker 4>We didn't wait. Things take time, didn't they. We just

0:17:37.440 --> 0:17:39.639
<v Speaker 4>did a story about that they're doing improvements with the

0:17:39.640 --> 0:17:40.720
<v Speaker 4>air traffic controllers.

0:17:41.320 --> 0:17:42.480
<v Speaker 3>It'll be ready in three years.

0:17:42.520 --> 0:17:44.879
<v Speaker 2>It won't be ready in three years. You know it won't.

0:17:45.040 --> 0:17:46.880
<v Speaker 3>Okay, Yeah, come on.

0:17:47.080 --> 0:17:50.000
<v Speaker 2>Three years. That's hilarious. We should we should keep it.
