<v Speaker 2>retro all.

0:02:18.760 --> 0:02:20.959
<v Speaker 1>The tickets where you need twenty thousand and you still

0:02:21.000 --> 0:02:23.880
<v Speaker 1>only get a stick of gum that stuff. I love that. Man.

0:02:23.880 --> 0:02:26.680
<v Speaker 3>When those tickets start coming out from this machine is

0:02:26.720 --> 0:02:27.760
<v Speaker 3>the best feeling.

0:02:27.480 --> 0:02:28.280
<v Speaker 1>In the world.

0:02:27.919 --> 0:02:29.560
<v Speaker 2>It's like you hit the jackpot.

0:02:29.760 --> 0:02:32.640
<v Speaker 1>Oh I kin. So we'll get into that store, but

0:02:32.760 --> 0:02:35.600
<v Speaker 1>we are going to start in Lower Manhattan where it

0:02:35.760 --> 0:02:39.920
<v Speaker 1>was all a buzz yesterday. Yes, the final day of

0:02:39.960 --> 0:02:42.120
<v Speaker 1>the Ditty trial, and what a day it was. A

0:02:42.160 --> 0:02:45.360
<v Speaker 1>mixed verdict brought a mix of emotions, especially for Sean

0:02:45.440 --> 0:02:48.800
<v Speaker 1>Combs himself, whose lawyers declared the trial a victory of

0:02:48.840 --> 0:02:52.280
<v Speaker 1>all victories for Diddy. He was found guilty of two

0:02:52.440 --> 0:02:53.760
<v Speaker 1>of the five counts against him.

0:02:53.880 --> 0:02:57.440
<v Speaker 3>Those two counts, transportation to engage in prostitution, were the

0:02:57.560 --> 0:03:01.480
<v Speaker 3>lesser charges against him and carry a ten your maximum sentence.

0:03:01.760 --> 0:03:05.560
<v Speaker 3>Prosecutors initially said they were gonna seek the maximum twenty years,

0:03:05.840 --> 0:03:08.359
<v Speaker 3>but later told the judge the guidelines for sentencing put

0:03:08.360 --> 0:03:11.480
<v Speaker 3>the number closer to four or five years. The defense team,

0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:13.360
<v Speaker 3>meanwhile said it would ask for a sentence as low

0:03:13.400 --> 0:03:15.840
<v Speaker 3>as twenty one months. Keep in mind, did he has

0:03:15.919 --> 0:03:18.880
<v Speaker 3>already served nine months, so if that were the case,

0:03:18.919 --> 0:03:20.000
<v Speaker 3>he'd only have another year.

0:03:20.639 --> 0:03:23.680
<v Speaker 1>That is incredible. He went from facing life in prison

0:03:23.720 --> 0:03:27.320
<v Speaker 1>to possibly being out in very short time now after

0:03:27.360 --> 0:03:30.400
<v Speaker 1>avoiding convictions on the racketeering and sex trafficking charges. Did

0:03:30.480 --> 0:03:34.119
<v Speaker 1>he hope he'd be getting out of jail? Actually yesterday

0:03:34.320 --> 0:03:37.520
<v Speaker 1>on bail ropes the way this went yesterday, what the

0:03:37.960 --> 0:03:41.120
<v Speaker 1>verdicts came down in the morning, they had a hearing

0:03:41.200 --> 0:03:44.000
<v Speaker 1>at one where they submitted letters about bail, and then

0:03:44.040 --> 0:03:47.080
<v Speaker 1>we had to wait until five o'clock to hear the

0:03:47.160 --> 0:03:50.800
<v Speaker 1>judge's decision on bail. So in that four hour window,

0:03:51.320 --> 0:03:53.160
<v Speaker 1>did he a lot of people, a lot of experts

0:03:53.200 --> 0:03:55.600
<v Speaker 1>were out there saying he's probably gonna go home today,

0:03:55.760 --> 0:03:57.920
<v Speaker 1>and they thought he might, so he certainly thought he

0:03:58.000 --> 0:04:00.760
<v Speaker 1>was going to and his defense team, are you yes,

0:04:00.920 --> 0:04:03.320
<v Speaker 1>it should be granted at this point offered up a

0:04:03.320 --> 0:04:05.960
<v Speaker 1>million dollars bond, But that late hearing, the judge rules

0:04:06.320 --> 0:04:08.800
<v Speaker 1>Ditty has not proven not to be a threat and

0:04:08.840 --> 0:04:11.400
<v Speaker 1>not to be a flight risk, and should remain in

0:04:11.520 --> 0:04:14.560
<v Speaker 1>jail until his sentencing hearing, which right now is scheduled

0:04:14.560 --> 0:04:15.200
<v Speaker 1>for do I.

0:04:15.120 --> 0:04:17.440
<v Speaker 3>Have it right, early October year, the Cotober third third,

0:04:17.560 --> 0:04:20.359
<v Speaker 3>it was the date, but the defenses asking for that

0:04:20.440 --> 0:04:22.719
<v Speaker 3>to be expedited, and that certainly may happen. The judge

0:04:22.720 --> 0:04:25.159
<v Speaker 3>and the attorneys are actually scheduled to meet next week

0:04:25.520 --> 0:04:27.960
<v Speaker 3>to hammer oute a possible plan to move up that

0:04:28.080 --> 0:04:31.799
<v Speaker 3>sentencing date. Outside the courthouse yesterday, Diddy's lead attorneys spoke

0:04:31.839 --> 0:04:34.080
<v Speaker 3>and called this a great victory for not just Diddy,

0:04:34.440 --> 0:04:36.760
<v Speaker 3>but for the jury system, and even gave a nod

0:04:36.839 --> 0:04:40.160
<v Speaker 3>to the citizens, those twelve men and women who serve

0:04:40.320 --> 0:04:41.360
<v Speaker 3>on jurys.

0:04:42.200 --> 0:04:44.960
<v Speaker 1>All right, continuing on the run here on this Thursday morning,

0:04:45.000 --> 0:04:47.800
<v Speaker 1>and last night it was the House of Representatives turn

0:04:47.880 --> 0:04:51.560
<v Speaker 1>to burn that midnight oil. They've been up all night

0:04:51.640 --> 0:04:54.120
<v Speaker 1>and as of this recording, I am still watching debate

0:04:54.279 --> 0:04:56.600
<v Speaker 1>happen on the floor of the House. They have been

0:04:57.200 --> 0:05:00.360
<v Speaker 1>literally up all night in the House chamber debate and

0:05:00.400 --> 0:05:01.000
<v Speaker 1>deal making.

0:05:01.160 --> 0:05:01.560
<v Speaker 2>That's right.

0:05:01.640 --> 0:05:04.520
<v Speaker 3>Specifically, at three point thirty am this morning, they took

0:05:04.560 --> 0:05:07.839
<v Speaker 3>a key procedural vote that now allows Republicans to bring

0:05:07.880 --> 0:05:11.840
<v Speaker 3>President Trump's major domestic agenda aka the Big Beautiful Bill,

0:05:12.120 --> 0:05:14.039
<v Speaker 3>to the floor for a final vote.

0:05:14.040 --> 0:05:15.120
<v Speaker 2>Now as of this recording.

0:05:15.120 --> 0:05:17.600
<v Speaker 3>That vote was expected at some point this morning and

0:05:17.640 --> 0:05:20.800
<v Speaker 3>certainly today because Republicans are still trying to meet President

0:05:20.839 --> 0:05:25.000
<v Speaker 3>Trump's arbitrary deadline of July fourth. They're also trying to

0:05:25.000 --> 0:05:26.800
<v Speaker 3>get the heck out of there for the holiday.

0:05:26.560 --> 0:05:28.800
<v Speaker 1>And there was an issue getting some back. They had

0:05:28.839 --> 0:05:31.240
<v Speaker 1>already been out of town, and there were some weather issues,

0:05:31.240 --> 0:05:33.800
<v Speaker 1>some flight cancelation delays, so there was a struggle just

0:05:33.839 --> 0:05:36.359
<v Speaker 1>to get everybody there. But the Republican margins are so

0:05:36.640 --> 0:05:38.760
<v Speaker 1>thin that you need everybody back because they can only

0:05:38.800 --> 0:05:41.760
<v Speaker 1>afford to lose three Republican votes for this thing to

0:05:41.800 --> 0:05:45.040
<v Speaker 1>steal pass. But they are on track. Always dramatic on

0:05:45.200 --> 0:05:48.440
<v Speaker 1>Capitol Hill, we shall see continue the run here now

0:05:48.440 --> 0:05:52.359
<v Speaker 1>with the University of Pennsylvania school has been rewarded for

0:05:52.560 --> 0:05:55.920
<v Speaker 1>doing what Trump told them to do. Their reward one

0:05:56.000 --> 0:05:59.120
<v Speaker 1>hundred and seventy five million dollars.

0:05:59.320 --> 0:06:01.600
<v Speaker 3>Yes, one day day after reaching that agreement with the

0:06:01.640 --> 0:06:05.480
<v Speaker 3>Trump administration over its handling of transgender athletes, penn got

0:06:05.520 --> 0:06:08.200
<v Speaker 3>a deposit into its account from the federal government to

0:06:08.240 --> 0:06:11.160
<v Speaker 3>the tune of one hundred and seventy five million dollars

0:06:11.200 --> 0:06:13.919
<v Speaker 3>in federal dollars to the school. That money to the

0:06:14.000 --> 0:06:16.880
<v Speaker 3>university had been frozen in March by the administration.

0:06:17.080 --> 0:06:20.440
<v Speaker 1>Why was it frozen because the school allowed Leah Thomas

0:06:20.480 --> 0:06:23.840
<v Speaker 1>to compete. Thomas last competed four Penn in twenty twenty

0:06:23.839 --> 0:06:27.080
<v Speaker 1>two and was the first openly transgender athlete to win

0:06:27.120 --> 0:06:31.080
<v Speaker 1>a Division I title. Partner Education launched an investigation of

0:06:31.160 --> 0:06:34.239
<v Speaker 1>Penn found the school had violated athletes' rights, and now

0:06:34.800 --> 0:06:38.920
<v Speaker 1>the school is saying it agrees and will wipe out

0:06:39.200 --> 0:06:43.159
<v Speaker 1>Thomas's records and titles, as well as apologize to the

0:06:43.200 --> 0:06:47.040
<v Speaker 1>female athletes they say were quote disadvantaged all right.

0:06:47.080 --> 0:06:49.720
<v Speaker 3>Next up on the run, Authorities say seven people are

0:06:49.800 --> 0:06:53.400
<v Speaker 3>unaccounted for and feared dead following an explosion at a

0:06:53.440 --> 0:06:55.840
<v Speaker 3>California fireworks warehouse this week.

0:06:55.920 --> 0:06:58.680
<v Speaker 1>Now firefighters responded to the scene just as the warehouse

0:06:58.760 --> 0:07:03.160
<v Speaker 1>exploded in a huge fireball, set numerous adjacent buildings on fire,

0:07:03.560 --> 0:07:07.000
<v Speaker 1>spread to some nearly eighty acres. Wednesday, investigators were still

0:07:07.040 --> 0:07:10.320
<v Speaker 1>trying to use drones to monitor hotspots in the area.

0:07:10.360 --> 0:07:12.840
<v Speaker 1>Some folks who lived nearby had to be evacuated still

0:07:12.880 --> 0:07:15.880
<v Speaker 1>haven't been able to return home, and by in the area,

0:07:16.000 --> 0:07:18.760
<v Speaker 1>we're talking about a full mile evacuation zone.

0:07:18.840 --> 0:07:22.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it was a serious and scary explosion and likely deadly.

0:07:22.920 --> 0:07:27.760
<v Speaker 3>The fireworks company called Devastating Pyrotechnics, owns the warehouse. They

0:07:27.760 --> 0:07:30.960
<v Speaker 3>said they're grateful for the quick emergency response from law enforcement,

0:07:31.120 --> 0:07:33.040
<v Speaker 3>but that their focus is with their employees.

0:07:33.040 --> 0:07:34.080
<v Speaker 2>Here's what they had to say.

0:07:34.480 --> 0:07:37.920
<v Speaker 3>Our hearts and thoughts are with those we lost their

0:07:37.960 --> 0:07:41.840
<v Speaker 3>families and everyone impacted in our community. Right now, the

0:07:41.840 --> 0:07:45.040
<v Speaker 3>cause of this explosion is currently under investigation, but it

0:07:45.280 --> 0:07:49.960
<v Speaker 3>was devastating and the aftermath is still something the community.

0:07:49.560 --> 0:07:50.000
<v Speaker 2>Is dealing with.

0:07:50.080 --> 0:07:52.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, to your point, and I stopped you on several

0:07:52.440 --> 0:07:54.840
<v Speaker 1>I said, you cannot be serious if that's the name

0:07:54.960 --> 0:07:57.360
<v Speaker 1>of the company, it just so happens to be.

0:07:57.400 --> 0:08:01.960
<v Speaker 2>Called Devastating Pyrotechnics. I know that was ironic and awful.

0:08:02.040 --> 0:08:02.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:08:02.240 --> 0:08:04.160
<v Speaker 3>I actually triple checked it because I wanted to make

0:08:04.160 --> 0:08:06.760
<v Speaker 3>sure that actually was the name of the fireworks company.

0:08:06.800 --> 0:08:09.239
<v Speaker 1>All right, we continue on the road, on the road,

0:08:09.280 --> 0:08:11.520
<v Speaker 1>on the run. We do run a long road.

0:08:11.600 --> 0:08:13.440
<v Speaker 2>Yes, sometimes it's bumpy.

0:08:13.960 --> 0:08:17.480
<v Speaker 1>Well, this one, this is a We were doing a

0:08:17.520 --> 0:08:20.160
<v Speaker 1>lot of food recalls, it seems like for a stretch

0:08:20.200 --> 0:08:22.960
<v Speaker 1>of months to the point that we kind of backed

0:08:23.000 --> 0:08:26.040
<v Speaker 1>off and had to discern which ones rose to a

0:08:26.040 --> 0:08:29.120
<v Speaker 1>certain level this one does. This is a major, major

0:08:29.200 --> 0:08:32.800
<v Speaker 1>recall involving more than three hundred and sixty thousand pounds

0:08:33.280 --> 0:08:37.240
<v Speaker 1>of oscar Meyer turkey bacon that may be contaminated with

0:08:37.640 --> 0:08:39.000
<v Speaker 1>Listeria bacteria.

0:08:39.200 --> 0:08:42.640
<v Speaker 3>So far, no illnesses have been confirmed, but USDA officials

0:08:42.679 --> 0:08:47.360
<v Speaker 3>are warning the company found potential listeria contamination in their

0:08:47.440 --> 0:08:50.960
<v Speaker 3>laboratory testing. So this turkey bacon in question was produced

0:08:51.000 --> 0:08:54.320
<v Speaker 3>from late April to mid June, and it's very likely

0:08:54.360 --> 0:08:56.640
<v Speaker 3>in your refrigerator. It includes product ship to the US

0:08:56.720 --> 0:08:59.960
<v Speaker 3>stores nationwide, So if you have oscar Meyer turkey bacon

0:09:00.320 --> 0:09:02.719
<v Speaker 3>in the twelve ounce, thirty eight ounce, or forty eight

0:09:02.720 --> 0:09:06.240
<v Speaker 3>ounce packages, you absolutely need to throw them out or

0:09:06.520 --> 0:09:08.360
<v Speaker 3>you can return them to the store you purchased them.

0:09:08.400 --> 0:09:10.679
<v Speaker 1>All right, complete list of the effect that products is

0:09:10.720 --> 0:09:13.520
<v Speaker 1>on the CDC's website website. You have to remember the

0:09:13.520 --> 0:09:17.679
<v Speaker 1>listeria can call serious illness even death in older adults,

0:09:17.880 --> 0:09:20.760
<v Speaker 1>young children, pregnant women and their infants.

0:09:20.920 --> 0:09:24.520
<v Speaker 3>And actually the CDC and the USDA, who are involved

0:09:24.559 --> 0:09:26.880
<v Speaker 3>in this recall said they wanted to make this clear

0:09:26.880 --> 0:09:27.240
<v Speaker 3>because of.

0:09:27.240 --> 0:09:29.800
<v Speaker 2>What happened last year with poreshead. You mentioned the other recalls.

0:09:30.360 --> 0:09:33.840
<v Speaker 3>This listeria outbreaks are serious and they spread quickly, and

0:09:33.920 --> 0:09:35.920
<v Speaker 3>ten people died and that, so they're trying to avoid

0:09:35.920 --> 0:09:38.480
<v Speaker 3>that by getting the word out about this tricky bacon.

0:09:41.040 --> 0:09:44.199
<v Speaker 3>Next up on the run, another round of major layoffs

0:09:44.200 --> 0:09:48.040
<v Speaker 3>for Microsoft. The company announced it is eliminating nine thousand

0:09:48.120 --> 0:09:50.080
<v Speaker 3>jobs worldwide, the largest.

0:09:49.760 --> 0:09:52.400
<v Speaker 1>Cut in staff since twenty twenty three, when it fired

0:09:52.600 --> 0:09:56.320
<v Speaker 1>ten thousand workers. Earlier this year, Microsoft cut six thousand jobs,

0:09:57.040 --> 0:10:00.880
<v Speaker 1>and around one thousand jobs were cut back in January

0:10:00.920 --> 0:10:02.920
<v Speaker 1>as well. That six thousand cuts that was in May,

0:10:02.920 --> 0:10:05.079
<v Speaker 1>thing had one thousand in January. Getting all these numbers right,

0:10:05.720 --> 0:10:08.280
<v Speaker 1>So it's been quite a bit lately. The restructuring is

0:10:08.440 --> 0:10:11.760
<v Speaker 1>hitting the Xbox gaming division of Microsoft the hardest, where

0:10:11.760 --> 0:10:15.959
<v Speaker 1>two thousand workers were fired and entire studios have been

0:10:16.000 --> 0:10:16.560
<v Speaker 1>shut down.

0:10:16.679 --> 0:10:19.200
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, there were some long anticipated games that folks now

0:10:19.240 --> 0:10:21.199
<v Speaker 3>say are never going to hit the Xbox, so a

0:10:21.240 --> 0:10:24.160
<v Speaker 3>lot of folks are disappointed by this move. Microsoft says

0:10:24.160 --> 0:10:28.240
<v Speaker 3>it's focusing now less on gaming more on artificial intelligence

0:10:28.600 --> 0:10:32.120
<v Speaker 3>and what they call operational efficiency. A year ago, Microsoft

0:10:32.160 --> 0:10:34.720
<v Speaker 3>employed two hundred and twenty eight thousand full time workers

0:10:34.960 --> 0:10:36.800
<v Speaker 3>more than half of them are here in the US,

0:10:36.880 --> 0:10:38.880
<v Speaker 3>but certainly their numbers are declining.

0:10:38.960 --> 0:10:40.920
<v Speaker 1>All right, folks, stay with us here on this Thursday

0:10:40.920 --> 0:10:43.240
<v Speaker 1>morning run when we come back. We got an update

0:10:43.280 --> 0:10:46.880
<v Speaker 1>about that beloved NBA halftime performer who fell off her unicycle.

0:10:47.160 --> 0:10:50.040
<v Speaker 1>Well turns out she did break a bone and it

0:10:50.120 --> 0:10:54.320
<v Speaker 1>turns out her unicycle was broken as well.

0:10:54.360 --> 0:10:54.600
<v Speaker 3>Well.

0:10:54.640 --> 0:10:57.600
<v Speaker 1>Explain Also, we saw something happen in Major League Baseball

0:10:57.640 --> 0:11:01.640
<v Speaker 1>that only twenty other people have ever done in Major

0:11:01.720 --> 0:11:05.400
<v Speaker 1>League Baseball. And ah, stay worse for this one, folks,

0:11:05.679 --> 0:11:16.320
<v Speaker 1>chuck e cheese, not just for the kids anymore. We

0:11:16.400 --> 0:11:18.439
<v Speaker 1>continue now on this Thursday morning ran I want to

0:11:18.520 --> 0:11:21.640
<v Speaker 1>keep sending love to Red Panda, the beloved and longtime

0:11:21.760 --> 0:11:24.839
<v Speaker 1>NBA halftime performer who took a tumble this week. We

0:11:24.920 --> 0:11:28.319
<v Speaker 1>got an update on what happened and she confirmed that yes,

0:11:28.440 --> 0:11:30.920
<v Speaker 1>she did break her wrist in that fall.

0:11:31.120 --> 0:11:33.599
<v Speaker 3>It happened Tuesday night at the beginning of her performance

0:11:33.640 --> 0:11:36.640
<v Speaker 3>at halftime of the WNBA game in Minneapolis between the

0:11:36.640 --> 0:11:40.200
<v Speaker 3>Indiana Fever and the Minnesota Lynx. Red Panda, whose real

0:11:40.280 --> 0:11:44.480
<v Speaker 3>name is Rongnu, rides a seven foot unicycle while balancing

0:11:44.559 --> 0:11:46.560
<v Speaker 3>bulls on her arms and feet and then kicks the

0:11:46.559 --> 0:11:48.400
<v Speaker 3>bowl up and balances them on her head.

0:11:48.760 --> 0:11:49.719
<v Speaker 2>She fell off the.

0:11:49.720 --> 0:11:52.320
<v Speaker 3>Unicycle at the start of her show and immediately grabbed

0:11:52.320 --> 0:11:56.080
<v Speaker 3>her wrist. According to her rep, the wrist was severely

0:11:56.080 --> 0:11:59.120
<v Speaker 3>broken and Red Panda spent eleven hours.

0:11:58.720 --> 0:12:00.320
<v Speaker 2>At the hospital after the inn incident.

0:12:00.520 --> 0:12:02.880
<v Speaker 3>She's going to need months to recover, but promises to

0:12:02.920 --> 0:12:05.880
<v Speaker 3>be back and ready for next NBA season. But get this,

0:12:06.320 --> 0:12:08.679
<v Speaker 3>her rep said that fall was actually caused because of

0:12:08.720 --> 0:12:10.800
<v Speaker 3>a problem with the unicycle itself.

0:12:11.160 --> 0:12:14.520
<v Speaker 2>It was somehow damaged in transit, and.

0:12:14.440 --> 0:12:16.120
<v Speaker 3>They say in a statement that the fall was due

0:12:16.160 --> 0:12:20.040
<v Speaker 3>to the left paddle, specifically of her unicycle being damaged. Also,

0:12:20.080 --> 0:12:22.920
<v Speaker 3>by the way, this is the second time she's broken

0:12:23.080 --> 0:12:26.000
<v Speaker 3>the exact same risk. She's been doing this since nineteen

0:12:26.080 --> 0:12:29.000
<v Speaker 3>ninety three, and we certainly wish her a speedy recovery.

0:12:29.080 --> 0:12:31.760
<v Speaker 1>Ropes, Yeah, that makes sense. The first thing I said,

0:12:31.800 --> 0:12:33.520
<v Speaker 1>I said, she didn't even get to the bulls. It's

0:12:33.559 --> 0:12:35.280
<v Speaker 1>like as soon as she got on the unicycle she

0:12:35.360 --> 0:12:38.839
<v Speaker 1>came down. Something looked wrong, Like why did she just

0:12:38.920 --> 0:12:41.560
<v Speaker 1>lose her balance? They're saying, now something was wrong with

0:12:41.600 --> 0:12:44.960
<v Speaker 1>that unicycle. That makes sense to me now, But yes,

0:12:45.000 --> 0:12:47.760
<v Speaker 1>we're all wishing her well. We'll turn from the NBA

0:12:47.880 --> 0:12:49.800
<v Speaker 1>now to Major League Baseball, and we have a new

0:12:49.840 --> 0:12:52.760
<v Speaker 1>member to an elite club in the MLB. LA Dodgers

0:12:52.840 --> 0:12:56.120
<v Speaker 1>left hander Clayton Kershaw last night gave his home crowd

0:12:56.280 --> 0:12:58.960
<v Speaker 1>a treat and they witnessed history as he became only

0:12:59.000 --> 0:13:03.719
<v Speaker 1>the twentieth pitcher to record three thousand strikeouts. Happened in

0:13:03.760 --> 0:13:06.360
<v Speaker 1>the sixth inning against the Chicago White Sox. And you

0:13:06.360 --> 0:13:08.360
<v Speaker 1>know this guy is gonna go down in history. Vinnie Kapra.

0:13:08.760 --> 0:13:10.559
<v Speaker 1>You don't know his name, but he's the guy who

0:13:10.880 --> 0:13:13.000
<v Speaker 1>who was struck out. He was the number three thousand,

0:13:13.120 --> 0:13:14.680
<v Speaker 1>So he'll go down to History's.

0:13:14.400 --> 0:13:17.200
<v Speaker 2>Lucky Vinnie not so much.

0:13:17.320 --> 0:13:20.040
<v Speaker 3>The game stopped, a standing ovation went on and on,

0:13:20.320 --> 0:13:22.520
<v Speaker 3>and the Dodgers played a tribute video to Kershaw.

0:13:22.640 --> 0:13:23.280
<v Speaker 2>They were ready.

0:13:23.720 --> 0:13:25.960
<v Speaker 3>A future Hall of Famer who has played his entire

0:13:26.040 --> 0:13:28.520
<v Speaker 3>career with the Dodgers. He's won the Cy Young Award,

0:13:28.600 --> 0:13:31.319
<v Speaker 3>an MVP Award, a World Series, and is a ten

0:13:31.440 --> 0:13:32.319
<v Speaker 3>time All Star.

0:13:32.760 --> 0:13:34.760
<v Speaker 2>He's the twentieth to do it, yes, but he did

0:13:34.760 --> 0:13:35.680
<v Speaker 2>it faster than most.

0:13:35.679 --> 0:13:38.839
<v Speaker 3>He's the fourth fastest to reach three thousand strikeouts and

0:13:38.920 --> 0:13:42.120
<v Speaker 3>only took him two thousand, seven hundred and eighty one

0:13:42.120 --> 0:13:43.000
<v Speaker 3>and a half innings.

0:13:43.120 --> 0:13:44.360
<v Speaker 2>Yes, but who was counting?

0:13:45.200 --> 0:13:48.000
<v Speaker 1>Major League Baseball is serious about their yes records and

0:13:48.000 --> 0:13:50.160
<v Speaker 1>their stats, so congrats to him. We're gonna get through

0:13:50.160 --> 0:13:51.920
<v Speaker 1>this last one quickly because the Zarowack and I are

0:13:51.920 --> 0:13:55.600
<v Speaker 1>literally being rained on as we are recording this right now.

0:13:55.640 --> 0:13:57.360
<v Speaker 1>We're doing it outside. Didn't know if you all could

0:13:57.400 --> 0:13:59.520
<v Speaker 1>tell with a little noise in the background, but we

0:13:59.679 --> 0:14:02.760
<v Speaker 1>got to and for some better weather, and here we

0:14:02.800 --> 0:14:03.520
<v Speaker 1>are getting rained on.

0:14:03.559 --> 0:14:05.600
<v Speaker 2>Well it feels so good. I love the rain right now.

0:14:05.679 --> 0:14:08.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you say that until your Apple computer shuts it

0:14:08.320 --> 0:14:11.240
<v Speaker 1>down because it's got rained on. Well, yes, final leg here.

0:14:11.880 --> 0:14:14.800
<v Speaker 1>Sure we all love Chuck E Cheese as a kid,

0:14:14.840 --> 0:14:16.520
<v Speaker 1>but how would you like to go to Chuck E

0:14:16.600 --> 0:14:21.760
<v Speaker 1>Cheese one that's specifically designed for you now and adults?

0:14:22.040 --> 0:14:25.320
<v Speaker 1>The famous kids entertainment chain is banking on the hope

0:14:25.360 --> 0:14:28.120
<v Speaker 1>that grown ups like us like to have fun too

0:14:28.280 --> 0:14:33.000
<v Speaker 1>by opening ten Chucks Arcade locations across eight states.

0:14:33.080 --> 0:14:36.160
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, there are retro favorite games there like Miss pac Man,

0:14:36.160 --> 0:14:38.560
<v Speaker 3>Mortal Kombat, Donkey Kong, and Sandy Pete.

0:14:38.640 --> 0:14:38.800
<v Speaker 1>Ah.

0:14:38.840 --> 0:14:40.760
<v Speaker 3>Doesn't that just take you right back along with some

0:14:40.880 --> 0:14:44.440
<v Speaker 3>newer games like Jurassic Park. The new rollout features full menus,

0:14:44.520 --> 0:14:47.640
<v Speaker 3>original artwork. Some locations are selling clothing and toys and

0:14:47.720 --> 0:14:49.200
<v Speaker 3>candy alongside all the games.

0:14:49.400 --> 0:14:51.960
<v Speaker 2>But this is cool, they say. No two locations are

0:14:52.000 --> 0:14:52.800
<v Speaker 2>exactly alike.

0:14:52.840 --> 0:14:55.920
<v Speaker 1>Each one's specific, all right, The company said, Chuck's Arcade

0:14:56.200 --> 0:14:59.240

<v Speaker 1>classics and cutting edge experiences. I applaud this.

<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:15:10.720 --> 0:15:13.000
<v Speaker 1>One of our favorite places to go in New York

0:15:13.320 --> 0:15:15.840
<v Speaker 1>up the street called Recreation Bar. We love it because

0:15:15.840 --> 0:15:18.040
<v Speaker 1>it has retro game it's so.

0:15:18.160 --> 0:15:20.880
<v Speaker 3>Fun, and they have barcades around too, which is just

0:15:20.920 --> 0:15:21.560
<v Speaker 3>a fun you know.

0:15:21.600 --> 0:15:23.520
<v Speaker 2>It just takes you right back. But I looked up

0:15:23.560 --> 0:15:24.520
<v Speaker 2>the closest.

0:15:24.120 --> 0:15:26.320
<v Speaker 3>One to us is in Connecticut, so if you're up

0:15:26.320 --> 0:15:27.480
<v Speaker 3>for a drive, we could check it out.

0:15:27.480 --> 0:15:28.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm glad to do it, all right.

0:15:29.000 --> 0:15:32.080
<v Speaker 3>So as you go about your day on this Thursday,

0:15:32.120 --> 0:15:34.040
<v Speaker 3>we have your quote of the day for you today.

0:15:34.080 --> 0:15:36.800
<v Speaker 3>This one comes to us from an American author named

0:15:36.880 --> 0:15:40.120
<v Speaker 3>John C. Maxwell, And here is what he had to say,

0:15:40.360 --> 0:15:40.840
<v Speaker 3>when was.

0:15:40.800 --> 0:15:43.840
<v Speaker 1>The last time you did something for the first time?

0:15:44.400 --> 0:15:46.840
<v Speaker 1>That is a wonderful thing to ponder today as you're

0:15:46.880 --> 0:15:49.520
<v Speaker 1>just hey, take a moment, because it says a lot

0:15:49.520 --> 0:15:51.800
<v Speaker 1>about you. It says about what you're willing to do,

0:15:51.880 --> 0:15:55.400
<v Speaker 1>where your life is and what risk you're willing to take.

0:15:55.800 --> 0:15:59.960
<v Speaker 1>Are you living in a monotonous way? Are you sat

0:16:00.000 --> 0:16:02.560
<v Speaker 1>satisfied with the norm which is okay for some people,

0:16:02.560 --> 0:16:04.640
<v Speaker 1>but that is just every day we should do something

0:16:04.680 --> 0:16:05.760
<v Speaker 1>that we've never done before.

0:16:05.800 --> 0:16:08.320
<v Speaker 3>I love this because it's just it's thought provoking and

0:16:08.400 --> 0:16:11.360
<v Speaker 3>it challenges you to maybe think outside of your normal

0:16:11.440 --> 0:16:14.720
<v Speaker 3>comfort zone and do something adventurous, do something fun, do

0:16:14.800 --> 0:16:17.840
<v Speaker 3>something you didn't think you could do. I love this idea.

0:16:17.920 --> 0:16:20.040
<v Speaker 3>So this quote of the day is a question for

0:16:20.080 --> 0:16:21.880
<v Speaker 3>you to ponder as well. We'll give it to you

0:16:21.920 --> 0:16:25.920
<v Speaker 3>one last time, when was the last time you did

0:16:25.960 --> 0:16:28.880
<v Speaker 3>something for the first time? And with that, thank you

0:16:28.920 --> 0:16:31.520
<v Speaker 3>for running with us on this Thursday. All the rain

0:16:31.680 --> 0:16:33.480
<v Speaker 3>just stopped, but we.

0:16:33.440 --> 0:16:36.880
<v Speaker 1>Can say that already we have done something today that
