Speaker 1: grown ups just want to have fun too. I'm all

36
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 1: over this one.

37
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:58,960

Speaker 1: The tickets where you need twenty thousand and you still

Speaker 1: only get a stick of gum that stuff. I love that. Man.

52
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,680

53
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 3: the best feeling.

54
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 1: In the world.

55
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 2: It's like you hit the jackpot.

56
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,640
Speaker 1: Oh I kin. So we'll get into that store, but

57
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 1: we are going to start in Lower Manhattan where it

58
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:39,920
Speaker 1: was all a buzz yesterday. Yes, the final day of

59
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 1: the Ditty trial, and what a day it was. A

60
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 1: mixed verdict brought a mix of emotions, especially for Sean

61
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 1: Combs himself, whose lawyers declared the trial a victory of

62
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: all victories for Diddy. He was found guilty of two

63
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 1: of the five counts against him.

64
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 3: Those two counts, transportation to engage in prostitution, were the

65
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 3: lesser charges against him and carry a ten your maximum sentence.

66
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 3: Prosecutors initially said they were gonna seek the maximum twenty years,

67
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,359
Speaker 3: but later told the judge the guidelines for sentencing put

68
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 3: the number closer to four or five years. The defense team,

69
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 3: meanwhile said it would ask for a sentence as low

70
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 3: as twenty one months. Keep in mind, did he has

71
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 3: already served nine months, so if that were the case,

72
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 3: he'd only have another year.

73
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 1: That is incredible. He went from facing life in prison

74
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 1: to possibly being out in very short time now after

75
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 1: avoiding convictions on the racketeering and sex trafficking charges. Did

76
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:34,119
Speaker 1: he hope he'd be getting out of jail? Actually yesterday

77
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 1: on bail ropes the way this went yesterday, what the

78
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 1: verdicts came down in the morning, they had a hearing

79
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: at one where they submitted letters about bail, and then

80
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 1: we had to wait until five o'clock to hear the

81
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 1: judge's decision on bail. So in that four hour window,

82
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 1: did he a lot of people, a lot of experts

83
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 1: were out there saying he's probably gonna go home today,

84
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 1: and they thought he might, so he certainly thought he

85
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 1: was going to and his defense team, are you yes,

86
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 1: it should be granted at this point offered up a

87
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 1: million dollars bond, But that late hearing, the judge rules

88
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 1: Ditty has not proven not to be a threat and

89
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 1: not to be a flight risk, and should remain in

90
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 1: jail until his sentencing hearing, which right now is scheduled

91
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 1: for do I.

92
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 3: Have it right, early October year, the Cotober third third,

93
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,359
Speaker 3: it was the date, but the defenses asking for that

94
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:22,719
Speaker 3: to be expedited, and that certainly may happen. The judge

95
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,159
Speaker 3: and the attorneys are actually scheduled to meet next week

96
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 3: to hammer oute a possible plan to move up that

97
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,799
Speaker 3: sentencing date. Outside the courthouse yesterday, Diddy's lead attorneys spoke

98
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 3: and called this a great victory for not just Diddy,

99
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 3: but for the jury system, and even gave a nod

100
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:40,160
Speaker 3: to the citizens, those twelve men and women who serve

101
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 3: on jurys.

102
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: All right, continuing on the run here on this Thursday morning,

103
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 1: and last night it was the House of Representatives turn

104
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 1: to burn that midnight oil. They've been up all night

105
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 1: and as of this recording, I am still watching debate

106
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:56,600
Speaker 1: happen on the floor of the House. They have been

107
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 1: literally up all night in the House chamber debate and

108
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 1: deal making.

109
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 2: That's right.

110
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 3: Specifically, at three point thirty am this morning, they took

111
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,839
Speaker 3: a key procedural vote that now allows Republicans to bring

112
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:11,840
Speaker 3: President Trump's major domestic agenda aka the Big Beautiful Bill,

113
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,039
Speaker 3: to the floor for a final vote.

114
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 2: Now as of this recording.

115
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,600
Speaker 3: That vote was expected at some point this morning and

116
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 3: certainly today because Republicans are still trying to meet President

117
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 3: Trump's arbitrary deadline of July fourth. They're also trying to

118
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 3: get the heck out of there for the holiday.

119
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 1: And there was an issue getting some back. They had

120
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 1: already been out of town, and there were some weather issues,

121
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 1: some flight cancelation delays, so there was a struggle just

122
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,359
Speaker 1: to get everybody there. But the Republican margins are so

123
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 1: thin that you need everybody back because they can only

124
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 1: afford to lose three Republican votes for this thing to

125
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 1: steal pass. But they are on track. Always dramatic on

126
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 1: Capitol Hill, we shall see continue the run here now

127
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:52,359
Speaker 1: with the University of Pennsylvania school has been rewarded for

128
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 1: doing what Trump told them to do. Their reward one

129
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy five million dollars.

130
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,600
Speaker 3: Yes, one day day after reaching that agreement with the

131
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 3: Trump administration over its handling of transgender athletes, penn got

132
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 3: a deposit into its account from the federal government to

133
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,160
Speaker 3: the tune of one hundred and seventy five million dollars

134
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,919
Speaker 3: in federal dollars to the school. That money to the

135
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 3: university had been frozen in March by the administration.

136
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 1: Why was it frozen because the school allowed Leah Thomas

137
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,840
Speaker 1: to compete. Thomas last competed four Penn in twenty twenty

138
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 1: two and was the first openly transgender athlete to win

139
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 1: a Division I title. Partner Education launched an investigation of

140
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:34,239
Speaker 1: Penn found the school had violated athletes' rights, and now

141
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 1: the school is saying it agrees and will wipe out

142
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:43,159
Speaker 1: Thomas's records and titles, as well as apologize to the

143
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:47,040
Speaker 1: female athletes they say were quote disadvantaged all right.

144
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,720
Speaker 3: Next up on the run, Authorities say seven people are

145
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 3: unaccounted for and feared dead following an explosion at a

146
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,840
Speaker 3: California fireworks warehouse this week.

147
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 1: Now firefighters responded to the scene just as the warehouse

148
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:03,160
Speaker 1: exploded in a huge fireball, set numerous adjacent buildings on fire,

149
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 1: spread to some nearly eighty acres. Wednesday, investigators were still

150
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 1: trying to use drones to monitor hotspots in the area.

151
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 1: Some folks who lived nearby had to be evacuated still

152
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: haven't been able to return home, and by in the area,

153
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 1: we're talking about a full mile evacuation zone.

154
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was a serious and scary explosion and likely deadly.

155
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 3: The fireworks company called Devastating Pyrotechnics, owns the warehouse. They

156
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 3: said they're grateful for the quick emergency response from law enforcement,

157
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 3: but that their focus is with their employees.

158
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 2: Here's what they had to say.

159
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 3: Our hearts and thoughts are with those we lost their

160
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 3: families and everyone impacted in our community. Right now, the

161
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 3: cause of this explosion is currently under investigation, but it

162
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 3: was devastating and the aftermath is still something the community.

163
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 2: Is dealing with.

164
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, to your point, and I stopped you on several

165
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: I said, you cannot be serious if that's the name

166
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: of the company, it just so happens to be.

167
00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 2: Called Devastating Pyrotechnics. I know that was ironic and awful.

168
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 1: Yeah.

169
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 3: I actually triple checked it because I wanted to make

170
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 3: sure that actually was the name of the fireworks company.

171
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,239
Speaker 1: All right, we continue on the road, on the road,

172
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 1: on the run. We do run a long road.

173
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 2: Yes, sometimes it's bumpy.

174
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 1: Well, this one, this is a We were doing a

175
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 1: lot of food recalls, it seems like for a stretch

176
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 1: of months to the point that we kind of backed

177
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 1: off and had to discern which ones rose to a

178
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 1: certain level this one does. This is a major, major

179
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 1: recall involving more than three hundred and sixty thousand pounds

180
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 1: of oscar Meyer turkey bacon that may be contaminated with

181
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: Listeria bacteria.

182
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 3: So far, no illnesses have been confirmed, but USDA officials

183
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 3: are warning the company found potential listeria contamination in their

184
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 3: laboratory testing. So this turkey bacon in question was produced

185
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,320
Speaker 3: from late April to mid June, and it's very likely

186
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 3: in your refrigerator. It includes product ship to the US

187
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 3: stores nationwide, So if you have oscar Meyer turkey bacon

188
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,719
Speaker 3: in the twelve ounce, thirty eight ounce, or forty eight

189
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 3: ounce packages, you absolutely need to throw them out or

190
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 3: you can return them to the store you purchased them.

191
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:10,679
Speaker 1: All right, complete list of the effect that products is

192
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 1: on the CDC's website website. You have to remember the

193
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:17,679
Speaker 1: listeria can call serious illness even death in older adults,

194
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 1: young children, pregnant women and their infants.

195
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 3: And actually the CDC and the USDA, who are involved

196
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 3: in this recall said they wanted to make this clear

197
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 3: because of.

198
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 2: What happened last year with poreshead. You mentioned the other recalls.

199
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:33,840
Speaker 3: This listeria outbreaks are serious and they spread quickly, and

200
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 3: ten people died and that, so they're trying to avoid

201
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 3: that by getting the word out about this tricky bacon.

202
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:44,199
Speaker 3: Next up on the run, another round of major layoffs

203
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 3: for Microsoft. The company announced it is eliminating nine thousand

204
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,080
Speaker 3: jobs worldwide, the largest.

205
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 1: Cut in staff since twenty twenty three, when it fired

206
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:56,320
Speaker 1: ten thousand workers. Earlier this year, Microsoft cut six thousand jobs,

207
00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 1: and around one thousand jobs were cut back in January

208
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 1: as well. That six thousand cuts that was in May,

209
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,079
Speaker 1: thing had one thousand in January. Getting all these numbers right,

210
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 1: So it's been quite a bit lately. The restructuring is

211
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 1: hitting the Xbox gaming division of Microsoft the hardest, where

212
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:15,959
Speaker 1: two thousand workers were fired and entire studios have been

213
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:16,560
Speaker 1: shut down.

214
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:19,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, there were some long anticipated games that folks now

215
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:21,199
Speaker 3: say are never going to hit the Xbox, so a

216
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 3: lot of folks are disappointed by this move. Microsoft says

217
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 3: it's focusing now less on gaming more on artificial intelligence

218
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 3: and what they call operational efficiency. A year ago, Microsoft

219
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 3: employed two hundred and twenty eight thousand full time workers

220
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 3: more than half of them are here in the US,

221
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 3: but certainly their numbers are declining.

222
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 1: All right, folks, stay with us here on this Thursday

223
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 1: morning run when we come back. We got an update

224
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: about that beloved NBA halftime performer who fell off her unicycle.

225
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 1: Well turns out she did break a bone and it

226
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:54,320
Speaker 1: turns out her unicycle was broken as well.

227
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 3: Well.

228
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 1: Explain Also, we saw something happen in Major League Baseball

229
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 1: that only twenty other people have ever done in Major

230
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 1: League Baseball. And ah, stay worse for this one, folks,

231
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 1: chuck e cheese, not just for the kids anymore. We

232
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:18,439
Speaker 1: continue now on this Thursday morning ran I want to

233
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 1: keep sending love to Red Panda, the beloved and longtime

234
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,839
Speaker 1: NBA halftime performer who took a tumble this week. We

235
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:28,319
Speaker 1: got an update on what happened and she confirmed that yes,

236
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 1: she did break her wrist in that fall.

237
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,599
Speaker 3: It happened Tuesday night at the beginning of her performance

238
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 3: at halftime of the WNBA game in Minneapolis between the

239
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:40,200
Speaker 3: Indiana Fever and the Minnesota Lynx. Red Panda, whose real

240
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 3: name is Rongnu, rides a seven foot unicycle while balancing

241
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:46,560
Speaker 3: bulls on her arms and feet and then kicks the

242
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 3: bowl up and balances them on her head.

243
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:49,719
Speaker 2: She fell off the.

244
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 3: Unicycle at the start of her show and immediately grabbed

245
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:56,080
Speaker 3: her wrist. According to her rep, the wrist was severely

246
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 3: broken and Red Panda spent eleven hours.

247
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:00,320
Speaker 2: At the hospital after the inn incident.

248
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 3: She's going to need months to recover, but promises to

249
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 3: be back and ready for next NBA season. But get this,

250
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:08,679
Speaker 3: her rep said that fall was actually caused because of

251
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 3: a problem with the unicycle itself.

252
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 2: It was somehow damaged in transit, and.

253
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 3: They say in a statement that the fall was due

254
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 3: to the left paddle, specifically of her unicycle being damaged. Also,

255
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 3: by the way, this is the second time she's broken

256
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 3: the exact same risk. She's been doing this since nineteen

257
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 3: ninety three, and we certainly wish her a speedy recovery.

258
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 1: Ropes, Yeah, that makes sense. The first thing I said,

259
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 1: I said, she didn't even get to the bulls. It's

260
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 1: like as soon as she got on the unicycle she

261
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:38,839
Speaker 1: came down. Something looked wrong, Like why did she just

262
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,560
Speaker 1: lose her balance? They're saying, now something was wrong with

263
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:44,960
Speaker 1: that unicycle. That makes sense to me now, But yes,

264
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 1: we're all wishing her well. We'll turn from the NBA

265
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 1: now to Major League Baseball, and we have a new

266
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 1: member to an elite club in the MLB. LA Dodgers

267
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 1: left hander Clayton Kershaw last night gave his home crowd

268
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,960
Speaker 1: a treat and they witnessed history as he became only

269
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:03,719
Speaker 1: the twentieth pitcher to record three thousand strikeouts. Happened in

270
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 1: the sixth inning against the Chicago White Sox. And you

271
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 1: know this guy is gonna go down in history. Vinnie Kapra.

272
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:10,559
Speaker 1: You don't know his name, but he's the guy who

273
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 1: who was struck out. He was the number three thousand,

274
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:14,680
Speaker 1: So he'll go down to History's.

275
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:17,200
Speaker 2: Lucky Vinnie not so much.

276
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 3: The game stopped, a standing ovation went on and on,

277
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 3: and the Dodgers played a tribute video to Kershaw.

278
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 2: They were ready.

279
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:25,960
Speaker 3: A future Hall of Famer who has played his entire

280
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 3: career with the Dodgers. He's won the Cy Young Award,

281
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:31,319
Speaker 3: an MVP Award, a World Series, and is a ten

282
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:32,319
Speaker 3: time All Star.

283
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 2: He's the twentieth to do it, yes, but he did

284
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:35,680
Speaker 2: it faster than most.

285
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,839
Speaker 3: He's the fourth fastest to reach three thousand strikeouts and

286
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 3: only took him two thousand, seven hundred and eighty one

287
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 3: and a half innings.

288
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 2: Yes, but who was counting?

289
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball is serious about their yes records and

290
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 1: their stats, so congrats to him. We're gonna get through

291
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 1: this last one quickly because the Zarowack and I are

292
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 1: literally being rained on as we are recording this right now.

293
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 1: We're doing it outside. Didn't know if you all could

294
00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 1: tell with a little noise in the background, but we

295
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:02,760
Speaker 1: got to and for some better weather, and here we

296
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 1: are getting rained on.

297
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 2: Well it feels so good. I love the rain right now.

298
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, you say that until your Apple computer shuts it

299
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 1: down because it's got rained on. Well, yes, final leg here.

300
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 1: Sure we all love Chuck E Cheese as a kid,

301
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 1: but how would you like to go to Chuck E

302

00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 1: that grown ups like us like to have fun too

305
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 1: by opening ten Chucks Arcade locations across eight states.

Speaker 3: candy alongside all the games.

313
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 2: But this is cool, they say. No two locations are

314
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 2: exactly alike.

315
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:55,920

Speaker 1: general and new generation through a curated mix of retro

319
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 1: classics and cutting edge experiences. I applaud this.

320
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 3: Yeah.

321
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 1: One of our favorite places to go in New York

322
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 1: up the street called Recreation Bar. We love it because

323
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 1: it has retro game it's so.

324
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 3: Fun, and they have barcades around too, which is just

325
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 3: a fun you know.

326
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 2: It just takes you right back. But I looked up

327
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 2: the closest.

328
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 3: One to us is in Connecticut, so if you're up

329
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 3: for a drive, we could check it out.

330
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 1: I'm glad to do it, all right.

331
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 3: So as you go about your day on this Thursday,

332
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 3: we have your quote of the day for you today.

333
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 3: This one comes to us from an American author named

334
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 3: John C. Maxwell, And here is what he had to say,

335
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 3: when was.

336
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 1: The last time you did something for the first time?

337
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 1: That is a wonderful thing to ponder today as you're

338
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 1: just hey, take a moment, because it says a lot

339
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 1: about you. It says about what you're willing to do,

340
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 1: where your life is and what risk you're willing to take.

341
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 1: Are you living in a monotonous way? Are you sat

342
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 1: satisfied with the norm which is okay for some people,

343
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 1: but that is just every day we should do something

344
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 1: that we've never done before.

345
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 3: I love this because it's just it's thought provoking and

346
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 3: it challenges you to maybe think outside of your normal

347
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 3: comfort zone and do something adventurous, do something fun, do

348
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 3: something you didn't think you could do. I love this idea.

349
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 3: So this quote of the day is a question for

350
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 3: you to ponder as well. We'll give it to you

351
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 3: one last time, when was the last time you did

352
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 3: something for the first time? And with that, thank you

353
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 3: for running with us on this Thursday. All the rain

354
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 3: just stopped, but we.

355
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 1: Can say that already we have done something today that

356
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 1: we've never done before. We recorded an episode of Morning

357
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 1: Run literally sitting in the rain.

358
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 3: See check mark for us today. But we'll try to

359
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 3: do a few more things we haven't done before. We

360
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 3: hope you do too.
