Can 14 00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:39,200 Speaker 2: you tell me? Can everybody else tell me? You've probably 15 00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:41,440 Speaker 2: heard this news by now. But do folks just not 16 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,800 Speaker 2: announce albums ahead of time? Say I'm working on something? 17 00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:47,120 Speaker 2: Is this the thing you just tell everybody? Hey, there's 18 00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:48,960 Speaker 2: a new album. When is it available right now? 19 00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:53,560 Speaker 1: No? So everyone now has PR teams and they found 20 00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:56,720 Speaker 1: you know what, I love this term easter egg hunting. 21 00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 1: They like to drop hints, breadcrumbing whatever. They don't actually 22 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:03,920 Speaker 1: tell you what the announcement is. They make you anticipate 23 00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 1: the announcement that they then okay. 24 00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:11,040 Speaker 2: Well, Taylor Swift just dripped, dripped and dropped just let 25 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,400 Speaker 2: us all know she has a new album. It was 26 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,080 Speaker 2: a very very very sweet way. I think that she 27 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,600 Speaker 2: decided to announce that there's a new album. But it's 28 00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,920 Speaker 2: going to be available in a few minutes, so we'll 29 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 2: get into that. Also, I'm sorry, y'all, but I thought 30 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,679 Speaker 2: dial Up was already dead, so did Okay, but apparently 31 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,520 Speaker 2: it's not. But it is officially now AOL. Some of 32 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:34,200 Speaker 2: the original the ogs of dial up say they still 33 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 2: have the service, but they are now actually getting rid 34 00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:37,959 Speaker 2: of AOL. 35 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:39,959 Speaker 1: Is now doa It's going to be done. 36 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 2: You were waiting to do that one. I told y'all 37 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 2: she was feeling good, got good sleep last night. And also, 38 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:48,840 Speaker 2: an African nation wants its rock back and they are 39 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 2: possibly was making a federal case, if you will, out 40 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 2: of this Why does anybody just want a rock? 41 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 1: It's not just any rock, it's from out of this world. 42 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's worth seven figures. We'll get it to 43 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 2: that reminder, folks, do it right now. Pick up your phone. 44 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 2: Look at the Apple podcast app top right of the screen, 45 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 2: where our show is just click that little button that 46 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:10,639 Speaker 2: says follow so you can get all of our updates 47 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 2: coming to you. 48 00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,520 Speaker 1: That's right. But also on the morning run, on this 49 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:18,120 Speaker 1: Tuesday morning, DC Metropolitan Police are waking up with a 50 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 1: new boss the President of the United States, and President 51 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 1: Zelenski apparently not allowed at the big kids table just yet, 52 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 1: and China and the United States decide to kick the 53 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,640 Speaker 1: tariff can down the road another ninety days. 54 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 2: So this morning, a judge says no to releasing Epstein 55 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,520 Speaker 2: grand jury materials and tells the administration you shouldn't have 56 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:45,080 Speaker 2: even asked. Also, three dead in a shooting in a 57 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 2: target parking lot in Texas, and hope in the rubble 58 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,520 Speaker 2: and hope in the tragedy after that deadly plant explosion 59 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 2: in Pennsylvania. That was a really really tough story road, 60 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 2: but just hours after it happened, you got that, I guess, 61 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,160 Speaker 2: a hopeful and survival story. So it's important to tell 62 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 2: that one. 63 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, miraculous story, even some would say. But we begin 64 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 1: our run in our nation's capital. Stop us if you've 65 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 1: heard this one before. But Trump did something yesterday that 66 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 1: we've never seen before, something no president has ever done before. 67 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:18,960 Speaker 1: He federalized the DC Police. 68 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 2: Yes, he framed this though, and he had been framing 69 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 2: it for days as a necessary step, a necessary effort 70 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 2: to get crime under control in the nation's capital. However, 71 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 2: you will see federal numbers from the federal government that 72 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 2: show that there has been a twenty six percent drop 73 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 2: in violent crime this year in DC. Still, Attorney General 74 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:43,120 Speaker 2: Pambondi is now in control. She's taken command of the 75 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,840 Speaker 2: metropolitan Police force there in DC. President also named an 76 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 2: interim federal Commissioner of the DC Police. 77 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 1: By invoking these special emergency powers, the President can now 78 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,760 Speaker 1: control the DC Police for up to thirty days. And 79 00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 1: he also declared a public safety emergency in DC and 80 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 1: ken and has promised that he will put National Guard 81 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 1: troops in the city. 82 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,840 Speaker 2: So the DC mayor says the city was not given 83 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 2: their heads up about the president's plans and call the 84 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 2: move unprecedented and unsettling. What's it called the Home Act there? 85 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 2: The Home Rule, I don't know, and that he's able 86 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,479 Speaker 2: to use to invoke these powers is essentially the Act 87 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 2: of Congress that gives DC semi autonomy for the mayor 88 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 2: and the DC Council. But it's the same bill that 89 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:33,279 Speaker 2: gives the president the ability to take emergency control for 90 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:34,800 Speaker 2: thirty days if he wants. 91 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 1: All right, we'll see what happens this next month, all right, 92 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 1: Next up on the run. Today was the day that 93 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,360 Speaker 1: the US and China were set to hit one another 94 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,720 Speaker 1: with astronomical tariffs. We're talking up to one hundred and 95 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:47,279 Speaker 1: forty five percent. 96 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 2: But somebody thought better of it. Just hours before the 97 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,599 Speaker 2: deadline for the tariffs to kick in, President Trump announced 98 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 2: the two countries have agreed to another ninety day extension 99 00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 2: of the tariff truce to allow for negotiations to continue. 100 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,400 Speaker 1: Now our reminder here, President Trump, at the beginning of 101 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:07,040 Speaker 1: the year imposed a new ten percent tariff on Chinese goods. Well, 102 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 1: China then hit back, and then Trump took the Chinese 103 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,360 Speaker 1: tariff up to thirty four percent. 104 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 2: So China did us one better, responded with an eighty 105 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 2: four percent tariff. Then the US went up to one 106 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 2: hundred and forty five percent. So they went through all 107 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 2: that back and forth, finally called a truce in May 108 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 2: before those higher tariffs would go into place. That truce 109 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,159 Speaker 2: was for ninety days that just expired. So here we 110 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,800 Speaker 2: go again. This two sides are going to continue to 111 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 2: try to hammer out a long term deal. 112 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:37,160 Speaker 1: Yes, so the ninety days expired, they've given themselves another 113 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,719 Speaker 1: ninety days. But this all creates uncertainty in the markets. 114 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:44,159 Speaker 1: No one likes what. They don't know what to expect 115 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 1: in terms of like lots of businesses who do business 116 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 1: in and out of China, they say they don't know 117 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:50,800 Speaker 1: how to price their items. They don't know what to do. 118 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,160 Speaker 2: So it sounds great that we don't have higher tariffs, 119 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 2: but the uncertainty drives investors crazy. All right, continuing on 120 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,200 Speaker 2: the run now, and this is rose. This is a 121 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,160 Speaker 2: doozy here. This federal judge has really, for the lack 122 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 2: of a better phrase here, ripped the Trump administration a 123 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 2: new one for its efforts to have Jeffrey Epstein related 124 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,919 Speaker 2: grand jury testimony released publicly. 125 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 1: I let you read that one. I just figured you 126 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:16,480 Speaker 1: could deliver that better than name. 127 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:16,840 Speaker 2: All right. 128 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:20,119 Speaker 1: The Justice Department had asked the court to unseal grand 129 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 1: jury testimony, an attempt to temper a revolt from Trump 130 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 1: supporters demanding more transparency about Epstein and his associate Gallaine Maxwell. Well, 131 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,480 Speaker 1: not only did the judge deny their request to unseal 132 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 1: materials he wasn't really that nice about it. 133 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, he said. The argument that the administration is making 134 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 2: to the public is total b s. In his words, 135 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 2: the quote entire premise that the Maxwell grand jury materials 136 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 2: would bring to like meaningful new information about Epstein's and 137 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 2: Maxwell's crimes or the government's investigation into them is demonstrably false. 138 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:58,719 Speaker 1: He describes the grand jury materials this way. It consists 139 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 1: of garden Variet summary testimony, and the info is quote 140 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:08,240 Speaker 1: almost entirely a matter of long standing public record. And 141 00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 1: this is perhaps one of the most damning statements from 142 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 1: the judge. The public might conclude that the government's motion 143 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:19,680 Speaker 1: for their unsealing was aimed not at transparency but at diversion, 144 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 1: aimed not at full disclosure, but at the illusion of 145 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 1: such wooh wow. 146 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 2: Wow is right wow. He even addressed the possibility that 147 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 2: the victims' families would want some of this material released, 148 00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 2: saying that the families desires quote appear to be premised 149 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 2: on the understandable but mistaken belief that these materials would 150 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:49,240 Speaker 2: reveal new information. This is damning in this argument they're making, 151 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 2: and like, hey, we're trying to get anything out that 152 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 2: we can. But even the stuff that this judge says 153 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,560 Speaker 2: they're trying to get out. They already know there's nothing 154 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 2: in there. This is a public farce. And the judge 155 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:02,360 Speaker 2: said it in his ruling. 156 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:06,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, he called him out very pointedly. All right, next 157 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,720 Speaker 1: up on the run. Zelensky isn't coming after all. President 158 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 1: Trump seemed to confirm yesterday that the Ukrainian president will 159 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 1: not be invited to Friday's peace summit happening in Alaska. 160 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 2: Trump and Pudin are scheduled where he face to face 161 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,960 Speaker 2: meeting in Alaska and a highly anticipated and key stepped 162 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 2: towards ending the three year war with Ukraine. The White 163 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 2: House was reportedly keeping the option open that Zelensky could attend, 164 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 2: but yesterday President Trump acknowledged that then Zelensky would not 165 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,120 Speaker 2: be there, but that Zelensky should probably stay close to 166 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 2: the phone. 167 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,319 Speaker 1: Yes, Trump saying this, I'll call him first, I'll call 168 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,680 Speaker 1: him after, and I may say lots of luck, keep fighting, 169 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:45,520 Speaker 1: or I may say we can make a deal. The 170 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:48,360 Speaker 1: Friday meeting between Trump and Putin would be the first 171 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,880 Speaker 1: meeting between the leaders of the two countries since Biden 172 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 1: met with Putin back in twenty twenty one. 173 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 2: I continue on the run. Now we head to Texas, 174 00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,959 Speaker 2: where three people were shot and killed in broad daylight 175 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 2: at a target store parking lot. The gunman is in customy, 176 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:06,160 Speaker 2: but police say they don't know why he did it. 177 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 2: This happened around two in the afternoon yesterday at Austin. 178 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,319 Speaker 1: Police say a man shot and killed two adults and 179 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:16,640 Speaker 1: a child, then stole a car, crashed it nearby, and 180 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 1: stole another car from a dealership before he was eventually 181 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 1: tracked about twenty miles away. Police say the suspect is 182 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:26,280 Speaker 1: a thirty two year old male with a mental health history. 183 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:28,920 Speaker 2: He turned. Now the next leg of our run to Pennsylvania, 184 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 2: where a massive explosion at a US steel plant near 185 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:35,720 Speaker 2: Pittsburgh killed two people, sent ten others to the hospital. 186 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:40,080 Speaker 2: Five are listed as critical but stable condition. They say 187 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:43,079 Speaker 2: critical but stable. Five others were treated and released. 188 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:46,640 Speaker 1: Now there was a big bright spot in the aftermath 189 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:50,680 Speaker 1: of this tragedy. Hours after the explosion, a missing worker 190 00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:54,080 Speaker 1: who was feared dead was rescued from the wreckage and 191 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 1: is now recovering in the hospital. The initial explosion happened 192 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 1: just before eleven am on Monday, and was following by 193 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,079 Speaker 1: several secondary blasts. 194 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:04,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, the black smoke could be seen for miles and 195 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,560 Speaker 2: part of the plant was sheared off to breathe all 196 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:11,080 Speaker 2: over the place. Authorities continue to investigate the cause of 197 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:14,400 Speaker 2: the explosion, but a US Steel spokesperson praised its employees, 198 00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:18,600 Speaker 2: saying they did a great job of going and rescuing workers, 199 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:22,440 Speaker 2: shutting down gases, and making sure the site was stable. 200 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:26,160 Speaker 2: I didn't read in enough. I didn't get a full 201 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:31,040 Speaker 2: understanding exactly what they were doing that could have led 202 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,240 Speaker 2: to such a I mean, obviously it's a steel plant, 203 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:35,079 Speaker 2: but this isn't supposed to happen. 204 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 1: No, it's not, and they don't know. They have not 205 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:40,440 Speaker 1: given any indication as to how it happened, why it happened, 206 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,080 Speaker 1: clearly though they say they want to know because they 207 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:46,199 Speaker 1: want to make sure that nothing like this ever happens again. 208 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:48,080 Speaker 1: But it took everyone by surprise. 209 00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 2: All right, Well, stay with us, folks on this Tuesday 210 00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,439 Speaker 2: morning run when we come back. Taylor Swift is back. 211 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 2: I didn't realize she ever went anywhere. Niger wants its 212 00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:02,400 Speaker 2: rock back. Apparently it didn't realize it was gone. And aol, 213 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 2: can you make the sound? You know what we're talking about? 214 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:14,200 Speaker 2: It wasn't the best the best rendition because you get 215 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:17,600 Speaker 2: the points. But yes, aol the end of an era 216 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 2: for real this time. 217 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:31,000 Speaker 1: Welcome back to this Tuesday morning run and in true 218 00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 1: Taylor Swift form. At twelve twelve am on August twelfth, 219 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,880 Speaker 1: that was this morning, probably while you were sleeping, Taylor 220 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:43,120 Speaker 1: Swift revealed the name of her twelfth original studio album. 221 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,640 Speaker 1: It's called the Life of a show Girl. We didn't 222 00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:49,200 Speaker 1: get any other info about a release date or any tracks, 223 00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 1: but we did get the name of the new album. 224 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:54,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, she's pretty good at marketing. They set off speculation 225 00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:58,559 Speaker 2: earlier on Monday by posting twelve photos from her era's 226 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:02,520 Speaker 2: tour with Swift's orange outfits with the caption thinking about 227 00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:06,120 Speaker 2: when she said see you next Era. Around the same time, 228 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:10,000 Speaker 2: the podcast New Heights, hosted by Swift's boyfriend Travis Kelsey 229 00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:13,000 Speaker 2: and his brother Jason, posted a teaser about a very 230 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,120 Speaker 2: special mystery guest in silhouette. 231 00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:17,839 Speaker 1: Later that evening, the podcast then put up a short 232 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:22,920 Speaker 1: video with Taylor Swift sitting next to her bow Travis Kelsey. 233 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:25,840 Speaker 1: He happened to be in a light blue sweater and 234 00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 1: so Taylor says, such a nice color on you. Kelsey says, yes, 235 00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:33,840 Speaker 1: I know, it's the color of your eyes, sweetie. It's 236 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,760 Speaker 1: why we match so well. And then Swift says, We're 237 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 1: about to do an effing podcast, except for she said 238 00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:40,680 Speaker 1: it and was bleeped out. And I don't know if 239 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:42,240 Speaker 1: I can say it on this podcast because I think 240 00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:43,319 Speaker 1: we're a clean podcast. 241 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:45,720 Speaker 2: But what happens if you do say it? I don't know, 242 00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:47,880 Speaker 2: because we've led a few slip here there. 243 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:50,240 Speaker 1: I have, But anyway, this time, I just decided to 244 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 1: paraphrase what Swift said. We're about to do an effing podcast. 245 00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:56,240 Speaker 2: Okay. Behind Swift is what appears to be an album 246 00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,240 Speaker 2: on the shelf. It's black with an orange outline. In 247 00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:00,880 Speaker 2: front of it is an orange and square with a 248 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,960 Speaker 2: TS printed on it. Swifties are hoping they get all 249 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,920 Speaker 2: the tea later today when the full podcast with Taylor 250 00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:08,800 Speaker 2: Swift and the Kelsey Brothers comes out. 251 00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:11,720 Speaker 1: What's seven o'clock seven pm tonight? Can you imagine what 252 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:13,160 Speaker 1: those downloads are going to be? 253 00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:14,560 Speaker 2: Like? Lord of Mercy? 254 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:18,280 Speaker 1: If only all right? Next up on the Run, it's 255 00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,160 Speaker 1: the end of another era. Since we've been using era 256 00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 1: a lot for those of us of a certain age. 257 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:27,160 Speaker 1: At least. AOL has announced it is discontinuing its dial 258 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:30,440 Speaker 1: up service next month. I honestly didn't know it was 259 00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:33,160 Speaker 1: still even a part of our lives. I didn't know 260 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:36,240 Speaker 1: what existed. But that sound is oh so familiar to 261 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:38,720 Speaker 1: so many of us who still remember our first time 262 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,199 Speaker 1: dialing up to the Internet back in the day. 263 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:43,600 Speaker 2: To AOL is the company that brought the Internet to 264 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,480 Speaker 2: the masses in the nineties. Surprised to hear maybe here 265 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:49,880 Speaker 2: that despite the advent of broadband and wireless networks, AOL 266 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:55,400 Speaker 2: never stopped offering that sluggish, noisy service that connects through 267 00:13:55,440 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 2: your land line. Now, think of anyone in your life 268 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:03,360 Speaker 2: right now who still has a landline, and you're probably 269 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:05,040 Speaker 2: not going to get beyond your parents. 270 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:07,959 Speaker 1: My I don't even think my parents have one anymore. 271 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:09,320 Speaker 1: I do yours? 272 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:10,080 Speaker 2: Do you still doing? 273 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:12,080 Speaker 1: That's funny? All right? Well, we know that at least 274 00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:14,560 Speaker 1: one hundred and sixty thousand people in this country still 275 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,040 Speaker 1: have a landline. That's the number of people who were 276 00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 1: connecting to the Internet through their landlines, according to data 277 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:24,040 Speaker 1: from the twenty twenty three US Census. So after more 278 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:26,840 Speaker 1: than three decades of service, it is time to say 279 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:30,440 Speaker 1: goodbye to those tones, beeps and screeches that I don't 280 00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:34,440 Speaker 1: imitate very well. AOL dial up Internet officially ends on 281 00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:36,000 Speaker 1: September thirtieth, all. 282 00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:38,360 Speaker 2: Right, but AOL wants you to know that the change 283 00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,000 Speaker 2: does that impact the numerous other valued products and services 284 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,320 Speaker 2: that these subscribers are able to access and enjoy as 285 00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 2: part of their plans. Everything else is good, folks, so 286 00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:48,200 Speaker 2: don't cancel. 287 00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:50,520 Speaker 1: Yes, that's what they want you to know, all right. 288 00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,360 Speaker 1: And finally here on the morning Ron. Remember that five 289 00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:56,680 Speaker 1: million dollar chunk of Mars that was sold in a 290 00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:59,680 Speaker 1: record setting bit at Sotheby's auction last month. It was 291 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,160 Speaker 1: the low the largest piece of Mars ever found on Earth. 292 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:05,760 Speaker 2: Yes, and do you remember though where it was found? 293 00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,720 Speaker 2: I didn't initially, but it was in the Sahara Desert 294 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:13,400 Speaker 2: in the West African nation of Niger. Well, Nizer now 295 00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:16,240 Speaker 2: has stepped up with some questions. The nation has now 296 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:21,760 Speaker 2: launched an investigation into what they call possible illicit international trafficking, 297 00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,800 Speaker 2: saying they believe it may have been smuggled out of 298 00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:25,320 Speaker 2: the country. 299 00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:28,600 Speaker 1: Sotherby said the Mars meteorite traveled one hundred and forty 300 00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:31,520 Speaker 1: million miles to Earth. Was found by a meteorite hunter, 301 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,320 Speaker 1: but it never disclosed the hunter's name, and it never 302 00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:37,680 Speaker 1: revealed the buyer's name either. The auction house said this 303 00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:42,200 Speaker 1: in a statement in regards to what is Nize, I 304 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 1: always thought it was Niger. It's Nize. If you're an American, 305 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,920 Speaker 1: you probably see Niger Niger, all right. So here's what 306 00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:51,040 Speaker 1: they had to say. They said that all necessary documentation 307 00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:54,280 Speaker 1: at each stage of its journey, in accordance with best 308 00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:57,200 Speaker 1: practice and the requirements of the countries involved. That is 309 00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:00,120 Speaker 1: how they were able to export it from NII. You're 310 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,400 Speaker 1: nize air, hmm, all right. 311 00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:05,440 Speaker 2: In addition to launching an investigation, Niche as president suspended 312 00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,960 Speaker 2: the export of precious stones, semi precious stones, and meteorites 313 00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:13,080 Speaker 2: nationwide to ensure their traceability. Experts in the field of 314 00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:17,120 Speaker 2: illicit trade believe that nie Air has to be able 315 00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:20,840 Speaker 2: to prove it owned the metiorite and that it was 316 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:25,560 Speaker 2: stolen something highly unlikely. Roabes. You added something in here 317 00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:29,240 Speaker 2: that this was a meteorite hunter. Ye, that's the thing. 318 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:31,280 Speaker 1: So it is the thing I actually read up on 319 00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:34,160 Speaker 1: this that this is now a growing It's not even 320 00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:37,800 Speaker 1: a hobby, but a growing industry because a lot of 321 00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:42,240 Speaker 1: the meteorites that fall from the earth tend to be 322 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:44,920 Speaker 1: well preserved in the Sahara Desert because it has the 323 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:48,960 Speaker 1: right conditions, the right environment to keep them well preserved. 324 00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,640 Speaker 1: And so if you're a meteorite hunter, you know if 325 00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:54,040 Speaker 1: you go into the Sahara Desert and part of that 326 00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:58,200 Speaker 1: is in the northwest part of Nigeer that you might 327 00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:01,080 Speaker 1: find one. And this guy just got really really lucky. 328 00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:03,760 Speaker 2: I can't, I mate, don't you have to declare and 329 00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:05,760 Speaker 2: all the things you have to declare? Are they going 330 00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:08,199 Speaker 2: to let you out of their country with what is 331 00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:09,840 Speaker 2: essentially a precious mineral? 332 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,000 Speaker 1: Of course, and maybe they didn't realize. They just thought 333 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,680 Speaker 1: he was bringing a big old rock. But Sotheby said that, hey, 334 00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:18,119 Speaker 1: they have the documentation to prove that it was taken 335 00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:23,359 Speaker 1: out of the country with the best practices that are available. 336 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:24,639 Speaker 1: So whatever that means. 337 00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:27,880 Speaker 2: I have had Sabine stopped at an airport and they 338 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:29,879 Speaker 2: took out a shell or a rock or something she 339 00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:30,680 Speaker 2: found on the beach. 340 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:34,520 Speaker 1: Yes, so I think Southey's probably said, hey, Niger, you know, 341 00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:36,439 Speaker 1: someone said hey, I got this rock or there was 342 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:37,960 Speaker 1: a rock. I mean, I don't you can't get it 343 00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:40,400 Speaker 1: out of the country. I wouldn't think unless you don't. 344 00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:43,840 Speaker 1: They have a TSA and Niger I assume how would. 345 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:46,800 Speaker 2: You carry that. You have to declare I have this thing. 346 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:49,560 Speaker 1: I mean, I've not declared a couple of things, but 347 00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:55,439 Speaker 1: it's not a not a media right, Yeah, that's that's 348 00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:56,640 Speaker 1: kind of funny. All right. 349 00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:58,760 Speaker 2: Before we let you go here, folks, something we want 350 00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:00,800 Speaker 2: you to take with you, something to consider. It is 351 00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:02,240 Speaker 2: our quote of the day. 352 00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:04,119 Speaker 1: I picked this one for you because this sounds like 353 00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 1: something that you would like or something that you would 354 00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:07,080 Speaker 1: live by. 355 00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:08,920 Speaker 2: Oh I haven't seen yet. Okay, tell me. 356 00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:13,080 Speaker 1: Never stand begging for that which you have the power 357 00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:16,600 Speaker 1: to earn. And in layman's terms or in modern terms, 358 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,440 Speaker 1: here's how I will rephrase this, or how it's been rephrased. 359 00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:21,360 Speaker 1: Never beg for something you can work for. 360 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:27,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's that simple. It kind of is that simple. Look. 361 00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:30,879 Speaker 2: Everybody has challenges, and some people have more than others. 362 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:34,520 Speaker 2: But generally speaking to the masses who are listening to us, 363 00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:38,360 Speaker 2: most of the things you want, if you go out 364 00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:40,440 Speaker 2: there and work your butt off. It might take a 365 00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:42,440 Speaker 2: little while longer, but you could probably get it on 366 00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:42,800 Speaker 2: your own. 367 00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:44,639 Speaker 1: Yeah, And I was just thinking about all those times 368 00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:47,119 Speaker 1: like maybe more as a child, really please please please, 369 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:49,919 Speaker 1: instead of putting yourself in that position, which you know 370 00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:52,520 Speaker 1: there are different versions of please please please can? I can? 371 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:55,800 Speaker 1: I will you I want just go out there and 372 00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:56,640 Speaker 1: get it yourself. 373 00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:58,600 Speaker 2: I like that you made me think of a crazy 374 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,560 Speaker 2: childhood memory. But you know, the only dessert. 375 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:05,640 Speaker 1: That I make is a what a lemon meringue pie? 376 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,080 Speaker 2: That's the only thing I make because I love it. 377 00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 2: And as a kid, I got tired of begging my 378 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:13,600 Speaker 2: mom every time, please make that pie, Please make it. 379 00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:16,560 Speaker 2: I stood by her while she made it once I 380 00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:19,560 Speaker 2: figured out the recipe, and I never had to ask 381 00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:21,719 Speaker 2: her again to make me a lemon meringue. 382 00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:26,560 Speaker 1: That's a great example. I love that. So yes, never 383 00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:29,719 Speaker 1: beg for something you can work for, and with that 384 00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:33,720 Speaker 1: hope you feel motivated to get what you want on 385 00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:34,320 Speaker 1: your own. 386 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:37,040 Speaker 2: I'm Amy Robox and I'm GJ.
