This followed more massive delays of 89 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:25,160 Speaker 3: up to seven hours on Monday because of staffing issues 90 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 3: with their traffic controllers. 91 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,279 Speaker 1: Yeah, every headline coming in and out of Newark is 92 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:33,239 Speaker 1: has been terrible for travelers. This all comes after four 93 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 1: incidents in just the past two weeks at Newark Airport, 94 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,600 Speaker 1: including Sunday's forty five minute ground stop, when there was 95 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 1: a radar outage, just like a similar one at the 96 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:46,360 Speaker 1: end of April that left controllers briefly unable to communicate 97 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:50,200 Speaker 1: with pilots. Transportation Secretary Shan Duffy told reporters that in 98 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 1: addition to launching this task force, they're making other system 99 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 1: upgrades and even considering temporary flight reductions in and out 100 00:04:58,080 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 1: of Newark. 101 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 3: You feel better you're flying in a Newark the screen 102 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,479 Speaker 3: goes black while you're on your plane. Don't worry. There's 103 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 3: a task force that's taking care of this problem for you. 104 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 3: I feel better now. As far as how and why 105 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,480 Speaker 3: all of this continues to happen at Newark Airport, where 106 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,160 Speaker 3: the administration did something it is not prone to do, 107 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:19,280 Speaker 3: they blamed Biden, So Duffy pointed the finger at the 108 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:23,920 Speaker 3: Biden administration. Yes, our transportation the current Transportation Secretary said 109 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:27,920 Speaker 3: it's Biden's fault. Say they mishandled, moving equipment and staff around. 110 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 3: They did nothing to fix the problem a system that 111 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,240 Speaker 3: they knew was broken for years and years to come. 112 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,359 Speaker 3: At least, look, something's being done about it. But you 113 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 3: put this note in here at the bottom, and it's 114 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:39,559 Speaker 3: crazy hoping this is wrong. 115 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:40,360 Speaker 2: It's not wrong. 116 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 3: I'm really hoping you didn't read this correct. 117 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:43,480 Speaker 2: I read it correctly. 118 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 1: Yes, So there were only three air traffic controllers Monday evening, 119 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 1: and this is an operation and an office that they 120 00:05:55,640 --> 00:06:00,200 Speaker 1: try to have about fourteen controllers for those hours. Instead 121 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 1: there were just three. 122 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 2: That is shocking. 123 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 3: But that shouldn't be legal. What are we talking about here, 124 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,159 Speaker 3: That's not a Look, you can't just get somebody to 125 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,919 Speaker 3: cover at McDonald's because the fry guy didn't come in. 126 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,799 Speaker 3: I mean you can make do with that. You cannot. 127 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 3: That does not sound legal. It does not sound right. 128 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:19,920 Speaker 3: That's why I keeps I am questioning you right now. 129 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:21,680 Speaker 3: This cannot be possible. 130 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 1: You were so exacerbated you couldn't even read it. 131 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 3: You're like, nopes can't be possible. And look, this is 132 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:31,600 Speaker 3: the truth of the matter. We absolutely yesterday canceled flights 133 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:36,039 Speaker 3: out of Newark and switched airlines and switched airports because 134 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 3: of all this mess. 135 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 2: We do not and paid more for it. 136 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:40,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, they don't want to fly in and out of there. 137 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:41,599 Speaker 2: I know, it's scary right now. 138 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 3: The people are doing the same thing. We know they are. 139 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,359 Speaker 3: But I can't even believe we are uncomfortable enough that 140 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:47,240 Speaker 3: we made that move. 141 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,920 Speaker 1: I know. And it's the most convenient airport to where 142 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:53,720 Speaker 1: we live. And it doesn't matter because when safety and 143 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 1: delays like that, it's just not worth it. 144 00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,720 Speaker 3: Quicker, easier, cheaper, and we decided to go somewhere else. 145 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 2: Yeah.

Next Lego our Run takes us to la 176 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:46,200 Speaker 3: where the much delayed hearing to determine the fate of 177 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:50,680 Speaker 3: Eric and Lahomanindez is finally getting underway this morning. 178 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 2: That's right. 179 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:54,440 Speaker 1: The brothers re sentencing hearing will determine if they can 180 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,280 Speaker 1: be set free after serving nearly thirty years in prison 181 00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,240 Speaker 1: for murdering their parents, Jose and Kitty Menendez, back in 182 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,880 Speaker 1: nineteen eighty nine. The judge is going to decide whether 183 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:06,600 Speaker 1: he believes the brothers have been rehabilitated behind bars and 184 00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,839 Speaker 1: deserve a lesser sentence of fifty years to life. 185 00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:13,520 Speaker 3: Now that would make them eligible for parole now because 186 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:15,680 Speaker 3: there is a law in California, it's called the Youthful 187 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 3: Offender Law, that would allow them to be freed because 188 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 3: they committed their crime under the age of twenty six. 189 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 3: Mark Garrigos, their attorney, says he plans to call at 190 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 3: least seven the family members to testify. No word on 191 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,080 Speaker 3: if we're going to hear from the brothers themselves, though 192 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:33,720 Speaker 3: they have appeared in previous hearings virtually. 193 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:33,839 Speaker 2: That's right. 194 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,360 Speaker 1: The hearing is expected to last two days, and even 195 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:39,240 Speaker 1: if the judge decides to shorten their sentence, the brothers 196 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 1: will still need final approval from the state's parole board 197 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 1: before being released. 198 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,319 Speaker 2: The LA wildfires and some. 199 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 1: Disputes between prosecutors and defense attorneys delayed the hearing for months. 200 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 2: We were expecting this last year. 201 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 1: I believe the LA prosecutors will be arguing against re 202 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:57,360 Speaker 1: sentencing the brothers. They claim that Lyle and Eric have 203 00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 1: not taken full responsibility for their This is. 204 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:02,840 Speaker 3: An interesting one, is that they are not. This is 205 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:05,480 Speaker 3: not guilt or innocence. We're not talking about whether or 206 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:07,400 Speaker 3: not they did it and getting a new trial. We're 207 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:11,719 Speaker 3: talking about changing the sentencing, which would make them immediately 208 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,000 Speaker 3: eligible to get out, so they could be getting out 209 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:14,280 Speaker 3: of prison. 210 00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:17,079 Speaker 1: That's true, and by the way, the DA before November's 211 00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:19,080 Speaker 1: election was in favor of that. 212 00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 2: Now the new DA is not. 213 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:22,720 Speaker 1: So. The brothers have had a very well, they've had 214 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,120 Speaker 1: a roller coaster I imagine of emotions there. At one 215 00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:27,640 Speaker 1: point last year, Mark Garrigo saying the brothers would be 216 00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 1: home in time for Thanksgiving. 217 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 2: Here we are in May. 218 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:32,559 Speaker 3: We'll see what happens, and that's what we always hear 219 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:37,640 Speaker 3: for various reasons that elections matter. Elections have consequences. Their 220 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:42,080 Speaker 3: fate changed. Yes, because of a different DA getting into 221 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 3: that office, because of an election. That is incredible. We 222 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,480 Speaker 3: will continue here on this Uh what is this Tuesday? 223 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:49,320 Speaker 2: It's Tuesday, On this Tuesday. 224 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:53,199 Speaker 3: Morning right when we come back the greatest of all time?

And come on, 227 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 3: American parents, y'allogy is being lazy?

He is coming back to the NBA. Yes, 232 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 3: the greatest of all time is returning to the NBA. 233 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 3: He is joining NBC as a special contributor next season 234 00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:37,480 Speaker 3: for its NBA coverage. 235 00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:41,320 Speaker 1: This will be his first ever TV gig covering the NBA. 236 00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,600 Speaker 1: The announcement represents a pretty big splash for NBC, which 237 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:48,920 Speaker 1: is a new deal to broadcast NBA games starting next season. 238 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:52,120 Speaker 1: Jordan retired in two thousand and three as a six 239 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:56,880 Speaker 1: time NBA champion, five time League MVP, and generally considered, 240 00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,720 Speaker 1: as TJ has mentioned several times already during this podcast, 241 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:01,200 Speaker 1: the greatest of all time. 242 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,079 Speaker 3: But since retiring, he has kept fairly busy. You saw 243 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,720 Speaker 3: him as an NBA team owner with the Charlotte Hornets. 244 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,200 Speaker 3: He also founded a NASCAR racing team. He's also just 245 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:12,440 Speaker 3: been sitting around collecting all that shoe money. But he 246 00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:16,520 Speaker 3: hasn't made the jump to sports commentary until now. So 247 00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:20,200 Speaker 3: NBC is calling him a special contributor, So at this 248 00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 3: point we don't exactly know what that means, what exactly 249 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:26,440 Speaker 3: he'll be done, but you cannot get more exciting for 250 00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:29,720 Speaker 3: a sports fan to see him do this and his look. 251 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 3: As great as he is and competitive as he is, 252 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:34,000 Speaker 3: I bet he is studying to try to make sure 253 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,520 Speaker 3: he's a best as he could be at this as well. 254 00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:38,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's not an easy job. 255 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 1: Not all athletes and no matter how good you are, 256 00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 1: necessarily translate to commentating on television. So the world will 257 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,280 Speaker 1: be watching all right. Next up on a run and 258 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,800 Speaker 1: this is the final leg of our run. What would 259 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:54,040 Speaker 1: you guess are the most popular baby names in the 260 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:55,120 Speaker 1: United States? 261 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:56,679 Speaker 2: You can think about it. 262 00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:00,800 Speaker 1: We actually have the official list, and for this you're 263 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:04,080 Speaker 1: in a row. The same two names are at the 264 00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:07,200 Speaker 1: top of the list of popular boys' names and popular 265 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:07,960 Speaker 1: girls names. 266 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:11,440 Speaker 3: I might have gotten the girl's name, right, I don't 267 00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:13,160 Speaker 3: think I would have gotten I wouldn't have come up 268 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 3: with the boy's name because I don't know a single 269 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,720 Speaker 3: guy in my life and that has that name. But 270 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 3: let's start with the most popular girl's name. So if 271 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:23,560 Speaker 3: a girls born in the United States in twenty twenty four, 272 00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 3: the number one most popular name Olivia. On the boy side, 273 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:32,720 Speaker 3: the most popular name in the United States, Liam, Now 274 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:35,400 Speaker 3: that's the one I would have struggled to come up with. 275 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:39,760 Speaker 3: But every year, folks, since twenty nineteen, Olivia and Liam 276 00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:42,040 Speaker 3: have been at the top of the list the most 277 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:42,680 Speaker 3: popular names. 278 00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:44,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, I was trying to go back and think about 279 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 1: my kid's classmates and what names I heard them refer 280 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,520 Speaker 1: to more often. So I've heard Liam in some of 281 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,600 Speaker 1: my kid's classes, But I actually don't personally know a Liam. 282 00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:58,079 Speaker 2: But I guess there are a lot of you out there. 283 00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 1: Also, for the sixty year, this is crazy, the same 284 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:04,920 Speaker 1: two names are number two on the list. So the 285 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:09,520 Speaker 1: number two most popular girl's name is Emma. I guessed 286 00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:12,719 Speaker 1: that one. I would not have guessed the number two 287 00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:16,120 Speaker 1: most popular boys name, Noah. 288 00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:19,120 Speaker 3: It's been the same the past six years. Those those four. 289 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:22,240 Speaker 1: Names, I don't know, and Noah either. 290 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:24,200 Speaker 2: No, that's amazing. All right. 291 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:34,440 Speaker 1: Here are your top ten girls names in order, number one. Olivia, Emma, Amelia, Charlotte, Mia, Sophia, Isabella, 292 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 1: you hear a trend? Hear Evelyn, Ava, and Sophia. 293 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:42,800 Speaker 3: Should we mention it? Sophia has two different spellings on 294 00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 3: this name. Funny, what is that number ten? 295 00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:48,480 Speaker 1: It would be oh right, wait, I just realized that. 296 00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:53,080 Speaker 1: So the Sophia with the pH is number five and 297 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:56,280 Speaker 1: Sophia with the F is number ten. So I feel 298 00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:58,320 Speaker 1: like with those two that might actually make it the 299 00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:01,240 Speaker 1: number one. If it's two, you're in the top ten list. 300 00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 3: Spelling apparently, what your top ten boys' names? We mentioned 301 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:11,200 Speaker 3: Liam and Noah, but after that it's Oliver, Theodore, James, Henry, Matteo, 302 00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:13,720 Speaker 3: Elijah Lucas and William. 303 00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:14,240 Speaker 1: Yeah. 304 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,080 Speaker 2: I guess William.

Wow, that's phenomenal, all right, And wait, 311 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:34,640 Speaker 1: you say since nineteen fifty four, this is interesting. 312 00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:37,400 Speaker 3: There's been more variation in the most popular girls' names 313 00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 3: than I have the boys' name. So since I'll tell 314 00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:43,400 Speaker 3: you it's actually since nineteen fifty four, only five names 315 00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:50,240 Speaker 3: have been at the top of the boys list, Michael, Jacob, Noam, Liam, 316 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:54,760 Speaker 3: and David. But David only appeared once. So Michael has 317 00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:58,200 Speaker 3: been overwhelming number one over the years. But on the 318 00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:00,240 Speaker 3: girl's side, there's been ten or so names that have 319 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:02,680 Speaker 3: varied at the top. I can't remember all those, but 320 00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:05,160 Speaker 3: has not been as much variation to the boys name. 321 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:05,680 Speaker 2: It's funny. 322 00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:07,960 Speaker 1: When I was growing up, all the girls last names 323 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:11,120 Speaker 1: had e's, like Kelly, Ashley, Amy, Betty. 324 00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:13,000 Speaker 2: You know Mary.

Ava complains about the same 330 00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:27,240 Speaker 1: thing now because she says there are so many Ava. 331 00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:28,400 Speaker 1: She goes by Ava Mac. 332 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:31,520 Speaker 3: That's why I call you robot. There's never an issue 333 00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:34,440 Speaker 3: I'm talking about that is true. Before you take off 334 00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:37,200 Speaker 3: on Tuesday, hear. So we wrap up this run.
