Head out on our morning run. 22 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:09,720 Speaker 2: We have to begin in Lebanon. That's where nearly five 23 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,560 Speaker 2: hundred people were killed and more than sixteen hundred others 24 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,679 Speaker 2: wounded in a new wave of attacks by Israel targeting 25 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,800 Speaker 2: Hesbelo weapons hidden in residential buildings. 26 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 1: This marks the deadliest day of fighting between Israel and 27 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:26,080 Speaker 1: Hesbela since two thousand and six.

The US 37 00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 1: now sending additional troops to the Middle East in response 38 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,840 Speaker 1: to the increased violence between Israel and has Bela. 39 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 2: The Pentagon would not say just how many more forces 40 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 2: would be sent to add to the forty thousand troops 41 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:10,079 Speaker 2: already in the region.

It's kind of 92 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:40,320 Speaker 2: a rundown memory lane. Gotta say attention, oh you Kmart shoppers. Kmart, 93 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:43,160 Speaker 2: once one of the leading American discount retailers, is closing 94 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 2: its doors to the last full size star here in 95 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,599 Speaker 2: a store. I just say here in the mainland US, 96 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:51,920 Speaker 2: this is going to happen in just the next few weeks. 97 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, as of October twentieth, the Bridgehampton, New York Kmart 98 00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 1: will close. This was confirmed by a work there, Denise Rivera. 99 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 1: She answered the phone when reporters were calling and actually yes, 100 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,479 Speaker 1: confirmed that the store would be closing, but said that 101 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 1: her manager wasn't available. 102 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 2: That retail Jane has just one small convenience store version 103 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 2: of itself that's in Miami. Why Miami, I wonder of 104 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 2: all places, that's the one that's left here in the States. 105 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:23,320 Speaker 2: Also has stores in Guam, in the US Virgin Islands, 106 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,679 Speaker 2: where it doesn't have the same competition that, of course 107 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 2: it does here in the States. 108 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, giants like Walmart, Amazon contributing to putting Kmart in 109 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 1: the financial position it's in at its peak. Though, if 110 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 1: you may remember, Kmart had more than two thousand locations 111 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 1: here in the United States. It opened its very first 112 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:44,280 Speaker 1: store in Garden Citney, Michigan, back in nineteen sixty two. 113 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 2: A sign of the times. We all, well, some of 114 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,840 Speaker 2: us grew up with Kmart. I hate to see it go. 115 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 2: Coming up next here on our morning run, we need 116 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 2: to go to Missouri. That state is said to execute 117 00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:01,599 Speaker 2: a man tonight, even though the prosecutors office is saying 118 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:05,159 Speaker 2: the man is innocent. You heard that right, The very 119 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:09,239 Speaker 2: office that prosecuted a man now on death row wants 120 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:13,359 Speaker 2: to free him, but the execution is still scheduled to 121 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:14,480 Speaker 2: go forward tonight. 122 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 1: Marcellus Williams was convicted for the nineteen ninety eight stabbing 123 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 1: death of Felicia Gale. Now, there's no physical evidence that 124 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:25,120 Speaker 1: links Williams to the crime, and he was largely convicted 125 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,800 Speaker 1: on the testimony of two eyewitnesses who his attorneys say 126 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,400 Speaker 1: lied in hopes of collecting a ten thousand dollars reward well. 127 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 2: The prosecutor's office in the case fouled the motion with 128 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 2: the court earlier this year, asking that the conviction be 129 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 2: vacated and wanted Williams set free, and they cited that 130 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:45,520 Speaker 2: there was new evidence that suggested he was in fact innocence. 131 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:49,039 Speaker 1: But on Monday, the Missouri Supreme Court refused to intervene, 132 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:52,320 Speaker 1: and Governor Mike Parson said he's seen nothing that suggests 133 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:56,360 Speaker 1: Williams as innocent and so will not grant him clemency. Now, 134 00:06:56,360 --> 00:07:00,200 Speaker 1: Williams's only hope is the US Supreme Court. 135 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:05,880 Speaker 2: Williams has get this had two previous execution dates scrapped. 136 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,599 Speaker 2: He has been down this road three times now. The 137 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:10,640 Speaker 2: first time was in twenty fifteen. He was a week 138 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,600 Speaker 2: away from execution, but the state Supreme Court stepped in 139 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:17,680 Speaker 2: to allow more DNA testing than in twenty seventeen, he 140 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 2: was just hours away from execution when the then governor 141 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 2: granted a stay. The clock is ticking once again, Ropes. 142 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,720 Speaker 2: We talked about another death row in mad last week 143 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 2: that was scheduled to be executed South Carolina. I believe 144 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 2: I have the state right, but yeah, with questions there 145 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:39,280 Speaker 2: about that man's innocence, and they did, they did go 146 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 2: through and that execution took place at the end of 147 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:43,360 Speaker 2: last week. So here we go, in just a matter 148 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 2: of days, two different executions with questions about the innocence. 149 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's nothing that can be undone once these 150 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 1: executions obviously take place. The Midwest Innocence Project, by the 151 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 1: way behind Williams. And this is the crazy thing. They 152 00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 1: reached a compromise with the prosecutor's office not that long ago, 153 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,240 Speaker 1: and you know, the judge signed off on it, the 154 00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 1: victim's family signed off on it, that he would plead 155 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 1: no contest and in exchange get a new sentence of 156 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,400 Speaker 1: life in prison without parole. Therefore he wouldn't be executed. 157 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:14,680 Speaker 1: So despite the fact that everyone in the case, from 158 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 1: the judge to the victim's family to the prosecutors all agreed, 159 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 1: somehow we still find ourselves in this situation today or tonight, 160 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 1: where he is said to be executed. 161 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 2: Where are we always a very difficult conversation to have 162 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 2: about execution, But you have a situation here where the family, 163 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 2: the victim, and the prosecutor. 164 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 1: Are the judge they all signed off. 165 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:38,199 Speaker 2: Don't want the guy killed. But whatever reason, law or 166 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,600 Speaker 2: whatever's in the way, they won't allow us to stop 167 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,480 Speaker 2: from killing a man this evening. But that is supposed 168 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,960 Speaker 2: to happen tonight. We shall see. We'll stay with us 169 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,600 Speaker 2: here on the Morning Run. It will continue and just 170 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:55,199 Speaker 2: a moment we could have the floodgates really opening in 171 00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:56,000 Speaker 2: college sports. 172 00:08:56,120 --> 00:09:04,719 Speaker 1: Stay with us, Welcome back to the Morning Run. Next up, 173 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:08,200 Speaker 1: we are talking Reggie Bush. As you know, college athletes 174 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:11,000 Speaker 1: can now financially benefit from their name, their image, and 175 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:15,200 Speaker 1: likeness after the NCUBLEA changed policy a few years ago. 176 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 1: But former college athletes who missed out because they've played 177 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:22,440 Speaker 1: before those rules changed are now coming back for backpay. 178 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 2: And the biggest name so far, without a doubt, Reggie Bush. 179 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:30,080 Speaker 2: He is suing his former school USC. He's suing the 180 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:34,079 Speaker 2: PAC twelve. He's suing the nc DOUBLEA for compensation over 181 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:38,240 Speaker 2: the use of his name, image and likeness. And his name, 182 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:42,520 Speaker 2: his image, his likeness was everywhere during his time at USC. 183 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, Bush was a highlight reel running back. During his 184 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,120 Speaker 1: three years at USC, he won the Heisman Trophy. He 185 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 1: won a national championship, But that Heisman and that championship 186 00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:56,320 Speaker 1: were later vacated after an investigation revealed that Bush received 187 00:09:56,440 --> 00:10:01,080 Speaker 1: improper benefits as a student athlete. Now his heisman was 188 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:02,280 Speaker 1: later reinstated. 189 00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:04,680 Speaker 2: Bush was maybe the biggest star in college football during 190 00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 2: his time at USC, and claims a lot of folks 191 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:10,040 Speaker 2: were benefiting off of his name, image, and likeness even 192 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,600 Speaker 2: after he left college for the NFL. His lawsuit is 193 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:17,760 Speaker 2: just the latest of its kind. More could come, potentially 194 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:22,599 Speaker 2: opening yes, the floodgates for athletes seeking for retroactive compensation. 195 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:28,000 Speaker 2: That fame nineteen eighty three NCAA championship basketball team did 196 00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:30,520 Speaker 2: this as well. They have all sued because the NCAA 197 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:34,439 Speaker 2: every single year uses that wonderful moment of them winning 198 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,439 Speaker 2: the national championship with the coach Valano out there running 199 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 2: around looking for somebody to hug. Say, hey, wait a minute, 200 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,839 Speaker 2: you all are promoting and benefit. We ain't seen a 201 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:46,400 Speaker 2: dime of that. This is going to be interesting, yeah. 202 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:50,000 Speaker 1: Reggie Bush's attorney said this case is not just about 203 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:53,880 Speaker 1: seeking justice for Reggie Bush, It's about setting a precedent 204 00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:57,679 Speaker 1: for the fair treatment of all college athletes. They say 205 00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:00,720 Speaker 1: their goal is to rectify this injustice and paved the 206 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:04,600 Speaker 1: way for a system where athletes are rightfully recognized, compensated, 207 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,760 Speaker 1: and treated fairly for their contributions. It's hard to argue 208 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:09,120 Speaker 1: against that, but. 209 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 2: It's hard to help. Where's the cutoff? Is every college 210 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:16,040 Speaker 2: athlete who ever played now going to have an argument 211 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:19,679 Speaker 2: for compensation that they didn't get for rules that weren't 212 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 2: in place when they played. 213 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,840 Speaker 1: The answer is yes. If they rule in favor of 214 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,839 Speaker 1: Reggie Bush, the floodgates are officially open. 215 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 2: They lost a championship, he lost the Heisman for rules 216 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:32,679 Speaker 2: that no longer reply. What do you do? 217 00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 1: We shall see what do you think our next leg 218 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:39,680 Speaker 1: of our run? We're talking Diddy. Since his arrest, more 219 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:43,120 Speaker 1: people have been streaming and listening to his music. According 220 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:47,680 Speaker 1: to data company Illuminate, Ditty's vast catalog of music saw 221 00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:51,320 Speaker 1: an eighteen percent increase in streams last week. And you 222 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,319 Speaker 1: might put in the connection here that was the week 223 00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 1: of his arrest. 224 00:11:55,280 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 2: Of course, Didty has a just an exhaustive catalog of music. Hey, 225 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:02,600 Speaker 2: the stage names. Remember he was puff Daddy, he was 226 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:04,800 Speaker 2: p Diddy, he was Diddy. Well he's got music under 227 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:08,280 Speaker 2: all of those names. What's happening here isn't unheard of? 228 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,360 Speaker 2: Probably not expected either. I guess a lot of people 229 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:16,040 Speaker 2: will be familiar R Kelly's music. His downloads doubled after 230 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,920 Speaker 2: that Surviving R Kelly docu series was released. 231 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 1: Now did he has pled not guilty to federal charges 232 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 1: of racketeering and sex trafficking. He was denied bail last week. 233 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:28,720 Speaker 1: So this is all happening while he is behind bars. 234 00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 1: His music is surging. You know what? 235 00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:36,720 Speaker 2: They have these debates should you ever listen to the 236 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,840 Speaker 2: artist music who's accused of something or even convicted of 237 00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 2: something so atrocious? 238 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:45,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, intensive you've asked before, can you separate the artist 239 00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:49,079 Speaker 1: from the art and you? I think some people can 240 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:52,079 Speaker 1: and some people can't. It just depends on what your 241 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:53,160 Speaker 1: level of tolerance is. 242 00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:55,679 Speaker 2: Some people say this is just curiosity. It's not necessarily 243 00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 2: people I hear his name and say, oh yeah, let 244 00:12:57,559 --> 00:12:59,040 Speaker 2: me go listen to his music. It's more of a 245 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:01,240 Speaker 2: some aonost like doing a Google search for Didi. You're 246 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:05,240 Speaker 2: searching the streaming services for Didi's music, and it's hard 247 00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:09,920 Speaker 2: to listen to hip hop, especially and not find the 248 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:13,359 Speaker 2: song or an artist that hasn't in some way had 249 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:14,600 Speaker 2: Diddy's imprint on it. 250 00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:16,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, and do you erase all that he's done that 251 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:20,960 Speaker 1: was good or entertaining based on allegations right now, Well, 252 00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:23,800 Speaker 1: that's up to I guess the listener. Our morning run 253 00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:27,560 Speaker 1: continues now with Hurricane Helene expected to hit the US 254 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:30,400 Speaker 1: in the coming days, even though it's not even a 255 00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:33,760 Speaker 1: hurricane yet. As of this morning, the National Hurricane Center 256 00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 1: has identified a tropical disturbance in the Caribbean that it 257 00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:40,680 Speaker 1: expects to develop into a major hurricane, which then would 258 00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:42,720 Speaker 1: be named Hurricane Helene. 259 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:45,640 Speaker 2: And we're seeing record warm temperatures in the Gulf, which 260 00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:47,800 Speaker 2: is going to help fuel the storm, which is expected 261 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:52,199 Speaker 2: to quickly intensify before making landfall in Florida sometime on Thursday. 262 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:57,080 Speaker 2: As a potentially a pretty strong storm category two or 263 00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:00,440 Speaker 2: even three. The Florida Governor Ron de Santis has already 264 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:03,960 Speaker 2: declared a state of emergency in forty one counties. 265 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, and I read this from a meteorologist online and 266 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 1: he puts it very bluntly here. While there remains uncertainty 267 00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:15,040 Speaker 1: in both the track and intensity forecast, he says, Florida 268 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:17,840 Speaker 1: is not getting out of this one. So it is 269 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:21,240 Speaker 1: all the models agree that this hurricane is headed straight 270 00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:21,760 Speaker 1: for Florida. 271 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:23,880 Speaker 2: You see, Well, we're at this point. We're all used 272 00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,720 Speaker 2: to seeing those models on television and the lines go 273 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:29,800 Speaker 2: different directions. Every line still goes through Florida. 274 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:33,000 Speaker 1: Oh it does. There's no escaping. And there's a lot 275 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:36,680 Speaker 1: of folks out there, scientists who study these potential storms, 276 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,000 Speaker 1: and they all said, this looks like this could be 277 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,240 Speaker 1: the hurricane of the season, the one that we'll remember, 278 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,560 Speaker 1: the one that we'll talk about. And so it's good 279 00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:47,600 Speaker 1: to see that Florida is taking this very seriously. And 280 00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:50,280 Speaker 1: if you live down there, you're used to this drill. Unfortunately, 281 00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:52,360 Speaker 1: if you are in the path, you have to get 282 00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 1: out before because this is these storms. It's the water 283 00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,240 Speaker 1: that kills, and once the waters start rising, you don't 284 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:00,800 Speaker 1: have a lot of options to see that they are 285 00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,240 Speaker 1: bracing for the worst and this could happen midweek. Correct, 286 00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:06,400 Speaker 1: all right, our final leg of this run today. Eight 287 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:10,600 Speaker 1: more ways to express yourself. Eight new emojis are headed 288 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:13,600 Speaker 1: to your smartphone. Soon. You're going to be able to 289 00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:18,880 Speaker 1: nonverbally express your exhaustion with an emoji with bags under 290 00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:22,000 Speaker 1: its eyes. There's a new root vegetable looks like a 291 00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:25,560 Speaker 1: beat to me. There's a harp a leafless tree, which 292 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:29,880 Speaker 1: is supposed to represent drought or climate change. There's a fingerprint, 293 00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:35,120 Speaker 1: a shovel, a purple splatter. Not really sure what that 294 00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:37,240 Speaker 1: explanation is. It wasn't given, or at least I didn't 295 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:39,640 Speaker 1: see one. And then there's a flag for the remote 296 00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:42,560 Speaker 1: island in the English channel called sark Okay. 297 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:44,440 Speaker 2: I got a few questions. I'll get back to it 298 00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:48,200 Speaker 2: in just a second. But the exhausted Exhausted Emoji phase 299 00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 2: one most anticipated emoji at the World Emoji Awards that 300 00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:55,680 Speaker 2: I am just now learning about sixty percent of the 301 00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:58,040 Speaker 2: folks out there said that's the one they were looking 302 00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:02,000 Speaker 2: forward to. The splatter was in second place, and the 303 00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:06,480 Speaker 2: shovel was in third. Now the Nonproper group that oversees 304 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:09,920 Speaker 2: the global Emoji standards and new releases just approved the 305 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,480 Speaker 2: new emoji lineup. I did not know all these things existing. 306 00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:14,720 Speaker 1: Neither did I. I did this deep dipod. I had 307 00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:16,440 Speaker 1: no idea. There was a committee out. 308 00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:19,560 Speaker 2: There, and the committee meets four times a year to 309 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:23,280 Speaker 2: decide whether new characters will be encoded. They select the 310 00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:26,720 Speaker 2: emoji icons using used by smartphones around the world based 311 00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:30,080 Speaker 2: on submissions from individuals and organizations who present their case 312 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,000 Speaker 2: with evidence for why each one is asial as essential. 313 00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:34,160 Speaker 2: How did they get the power? 314 00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:37,560 Speaker 1: I would? So there are nine full members. This is 315 00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,680 Speaker 1: fascinating to me. I had no idea. They're all members 316 00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:46,640 Speaker 1: of tech companies like Adobe, Airbnb, Apple, Google, Meta, Microsoft, Netflix, 317 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:50,000 Speaker 1: Salesforce translated. Those are the companies. They have reps there, 318 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:53,520 Speaker 1: one for each company, and they make these calls, these 319 00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:58,560 Speaker 1: decisions on what world users can use in terms of 320 00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:01,000 Speaker 1: emojis to express themselves. Isn't that fascinating? 321 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:02,960 Speaker 2: There is an emoji illuminati. 322 00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:08,000 Speaker 1: I didn't get the names. I just got the corporation 323 00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:09,480 Speaker 1: that they represent. 324 00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:14,960 Speaker 2: You said, it's the Unicode Consortium, which oversees global emoji 325 00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:17,320 Speaker 2: standards and releases. Yep, who knew? 326 00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:20,320 Speaker 1: Who knew? It was really fascinating. And then I'm curious 327 00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:23,560 Speaker 1: if the splatter, so you have to like actually come 328 00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,280 Speaker 1: up with evidence of why that is essential? Why would 329 00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:27,000 Speaker 1: a splatter? 330 00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:28,760 Speaker 2: What does a stand for? 331 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,280 Speaker 1: I think you can use it for lots of different things. 332 00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:35,280 Speaker 1: I don't know. Your life's a mess. You made a mess? 333 00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:38,120 Speaker 2: I don't know, okay, And then what's the I don't 334 00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:41,480 Speaker 2: the thing looked like a radish to me?
