Speaker 1 (00:01):
Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast. Hey
there everybody, and welcome to Morning Run. It is Monday,
January twelfth.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
I'm Amy Robox and I'm TJ Holmes. We'll go into
the Nikki Glazer jokes. Yes, Golden Globes Big Nights. As
you will know by now, the big winner was a
movie we still haven't seen, the one Leonardo Dicapriole. Everybody's
been talking about. It looks good. I don't know why
we didn't. We only horror movie fans.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Yeah, but this is what? How is this considered a
thriller action thriller?
Speaker 2 (00:33):
But it won in the comedy musical or was it
the drama? I'm confused. Okay. The Golden Globes confuses us
clearly because they have categories for a movie that are
movie Comedy, musical, and movie drama. Yes, so this was
in the comedy musical. Hamnett was the one that did
the drama. There you go.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
So I would have switched the two, not having seen
either of it.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
If I had to have guessed, I would never have
put those in their respective categories.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
So we will get get into Yes, Big Night, Last
night in Hollywood, and Yes, you do have some clear
big winners. You had a few snubs, but we also
had some jokes in there that Nicki Glazer I think
they promoted, did they not? The Golden Globes as much
of a Nicki Glazer show as anything else, And.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
It was, and she really did.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
She set the tone and she led the way, and
she nailed it again for a second year in a row.
Really found a way to be funny without being mean.
She went there without going too far. She really did
an incredible job.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Okay, but we'll tell you the one joke we or
I took issue with that she told last night that
I thought cross the line ropes. We'll get into that
as always, folks, top right corner of your Apple podcast app,
where you see that little button that says follow on our
show page. Click that you can get our updates coming
to you and don't have to go hunting for them.
But the morning run, as we start on this Monday,
(01:49):
Monday morning, the legs today will take us to DC, Minneapolis, La.
Saint Louis, Jackson, Mississippi, as well as Teyroran, And that
really is where we have to start. After a violent, deadly,
disturbing weekend on the streets in Iran.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
That's right, President Trump is now considering military options for
that country, as Iran is now in the midst of
another deadly crackdown on demonstrators. As of this recording, five
hundred and forty four deaths have been reported as a
result of those protests. Trump previously said that the US
(02:27):
would intervene if the Irani regime started to kill protesters.
That clearly happened over the weekend, and.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
It has been happening, but the numbers really really jumped,
and a lot of people are wondering if the President
is going to see through on his threat, and he
is using some pretty threatening words. He did say yesterday though,
that Tehran wants to negotiate and meetings are being set up,
but he added this, we may have to act militarily
before that meeting ever takes place. But as we continue
(02:58):
on the run here related to Tehran, what's going on
in that country in Iran. Demonstrations in La to support
the demonstrations in Iran took a really terrifying turn when
a U haul truck plowed into a crowd estimated in
the hundreds. Again, they were there showing support in their
demonstration for the demonstrations in Tehran. Hundreds were gathered here.
(03:21):
This was in the Westwood neighborhood. Helped me hear this
in the UCLA where UCLA is just west of Beverly Hills. Now,
no significant injuries. Don't know how that's possible, but no
significant injuries. They say a couple of people were injured.
They offered to take them to the hospital and they refuse,
so nobody even went to the hospital. The driver is
in custody. But this driver, which was also another dangerous situation.
(03:45):
Role was because we've seen some situations now where crowds
know what to.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Do exactly, and that's exactly what happened in La. They
saw this guy plowing through the crowd and they were
I guess in the aftermath that were busted out windows
of his truck. There were reports that he was being
punched by people, and they got him to stop.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
At the end of the day, his truck stopped.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
And what he was intending to do was ended because
the crowd reacted. Now, whether they reacted appropriately or not,
I don't know, but they stopped the attack in the
midst of the attack.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
But it was ugly. But again miraculous, nobody was seriously
in next.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Up on the run.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Hundreds more agents are heading to Minnesota. That is what
we heard from Christinome. And this comes after a weekend
of tensions. Thousands of folks demonstrated. We know that there
were at least thirty arrests, but they were overwhelmingly peaceful.
They were reports of protesters throwing ICE snow rocks at
(04:41):
ICE agents and apparently one was slightly injured had to
seek some medical help for his injuries. But look, there
were some ugly scenes of citizens versus ICE agents. But
we heard again from the governor, from the mayor asking
folks not to take the bait, not to give Trump
more reason to send more troops. But regardless, hundreds more
(05:01):
troops are heading to Minnesota.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Take the bait, you have to give ICE agents and
some of this video you're seeing, you have to give
them credit for not taking the bait. I know what
a lot of people think about ICE agents and their
tactics right now, But a lot of the video and
the scenes we're seeing are people yelling, screaming viciously in
these guys faces with cameras out while these guys are
trying to carry out what are orders for them? And
some of these scenes are ugly and you're just waiting
(05:25):
for another one to explode into violence or deadly violence.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Yeah, it feels like a powder keg situation.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
It's just there's so much tension and there's so much anger,
and regardless of how you feel about ICE agents, as
you point out, they are doing their job, and that
takes a tremendous amount of restraint to sit there and
take it.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
All right, continuing on the run here on this Monday morning, Now,
Cuba has been put on notice via two tweets by
President Trump. And can we still call the ones on
truth social tweets? Can we still call the ones on
what else to call?
Speaker 3 (06:01):
I call them tweets?
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Okay, well you get what we're saying here. He does
post on truth Social. Now, after Venezuela, the President spoke
about Cuba, he spoke about Colombia, even spoke about Mexico
and talking about and putting people on notice that you
need to behave because you see what just happened to
this other guy. Well he did first tweet we're talking
about here that put Cuba on notice, said quote. Cuba
(06:23):
lived for many years on large amounts of oil and
money from Venezuela. In return, Cuba provided security services for
the last two Venezuelan dictators, but not anymore. He then says,
Venezuela now has the USA, the most powerful military in
the world, to protect them, and protect them, we will
there will be no more oil or money going to
(06:45):
Cuba zero. I strongly suggest that you make a deal
before it is too late. Those are certainly strong words,
and Cuba is a country that by all accounts, is
very much dependent on from Venezuela.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Yes, and before it is too late. Was in all
caps to just drive.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
The point home. And then there was another.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Bit of tweeting, if that's what we can call it
from President Trump. He reposted something from another social media
user who identified Secretary of State Mark Rubio as the
president of Cuba, and Trump reposted it and replied to
it saying, sounds good to me.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
I don't know which one was more alarming to the
people of Cuba, the first one or the second one.
Continue on the run here now and continuing with escalations
between Trump and somebody. This time it's Trump and the
Federal Reserve, the FED chair Jerome Powell, who you know
he's had a long standing public spat with Well. The
FED chair says Trump is threatening to throw them in jail. Yes,
(07:52):
the Federal Reserve, if you will. Powell posted a video
message saying this agency has received grand jury subpoenas putting
them under the threat of criminal indictments. What could they
possibly be indicted? Four robes apparently something having to do
with increased renovation costs at the Federal Reserve.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
It's over the Central Banks renovation of its Washington headquarters.
And the question is whether or not Jerome Powell lied
to Congress about the scope of the project. That is
the best way to describe it. But we all know,
as you pointed out, Trump cannot stand him. He didn't
do what he told him to do. He wanted him
(08:31):
to raise rates when he wanted him to raise rates,
and Jerome Powell did not do that, did not follow
the president's bidding.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Too late is the middle name. He's goiven. I'm Jerome
too late Powell.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Yes, I forgot about that. Everyone has a moniker from Trump.
And so here is what Powell said officially in response
to this criminal investigation. The threat of criminal charges is
a consequence of the Federal Reserve settling interest rates based
on our best assessment of what will serve the public,
rather than following the preferences of the president.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
And we know Lisa Cook as her name. Is he
still after or have they let that one?
Speaker 1 (09:07):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
The FED chair, the black lady, first ever black woman
to serve on the FED chair, and he's he tried
to get after her for a while over she didn't
die an I I think on her mortgage application.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Yes, there's there's They go in deep and they find
something about mortgages renovations, some sort of either you lied
or you didn't tell the full truth on some applications
somewhere for something.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Yes, but here's the thing about this one. They misappropriation
of taxpayer Uh there are they not self funded? Do
they they? I thought they didn't use taxpayer funds. The
other question I had is the Federal Reserve needs a
two and a half billion dollar renovation. I didn't know
they had a building that was worth doing a billion
dollars renovation.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
I thought they just met like a couple times a year.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
I thought they rented like a ballroom and a marriotteigure.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Like, yeah, they just need exactly that's all they need, Right,
It's just a few few omens a year that they meet.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
But that story continues, folks continuing here on the run. Now,
who dumped whom first? The Kennedy Center versus the Washington Opera.
This is happening, and this is a bizarre I guess
it would be funny if it wasn't so sad. The opera. Yes,
the Washington Opera made announcement that it will be leaving
the Kennedy Center after forty five plus years. I guess
(10:22):
this is one of the high most high profile examples
of an artist or an act leaving the Kennedy Center
because of Trump's name being on the building.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Right, and what you just said leaving the Kennedy Center,
that the National Opera was leaving the Kennedy Center. That
did not sit well with the Trump administration, because the
Kennedy Center director Richard Grenell got very upset about those
headlines and said, no, it was us, the Trump Kennedy
Center that broke up with the opera first. And so
(10:53):
he claims that his Twitter, his ex account was hijacked
and when he put out the announcement, maybe even ahead
of the Washington Opera's announcement, it got deleted unbeknownst to
him because it was hacked.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
So then he had to repost it.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
On Saturday, and then started lambasting all the headlines and
reporters theft leaning focus that they must have to say
that the opera left the Kennedy Center. No, just let's
get it straight, the Kennedy Center left the opera.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Well, of those lefties got a lot of hackers on standby,
some dedicated to just deleting posts opera posts. All right,
continuing on the run here, now, let's head down to Mississippi,
where the largest synagogue in that state was set on
fire and an arson fire intentionally set according to authorities there,
and a man has been arrested. This isn't Jackson, Mississippi.
(11:46):
It's the only synagogue in Jackson, the best Israel congregation there.
They say it's not a total loss, but significant damage.
And I think this one serves. They said about one
hundred and fifty families.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Yes, And how the suspect was caught was of note.
He actually I ended up going to a local hospital
with burns and they called police. It seemed suspicious to them,
and he, according to police, confessed that he in fact,
was the arsonist.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
Police say. There's even video of him, a hooded man
and a.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Mask, pouring liquid from a can inside the synagogue before
it was set on fire. And this is a significant structure.
This synagogue has been around since eighteen sixty It was
bombed by the KKK in nineteen sixty seven because the
rabbi at the time had expressed support anti racism and
support for the black community, and so they were the
(12:37):
target of a hate crime all the way back in
nineteen sixty seven.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
But that is a shame and don't exactly know why.
But the FBI is a part of that investigation as well.
We continue on the run here now and nurses about
to go on strike this morning in the country's largest city,
the one we are sitting in New York City right now.
We're talking about around sixteen thousand nurses expected to go
on strike today, the largest such that the city has.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Yes, we are talking about sixteen thousand. So the union
and the hospitals couldn't come to terms before their work
contract expired December thirty first, and so the question is
how does this impact patients in the area. There definitely
have been some scheduled elective surgeries.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
That were moved around.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
They claimed that they've bought out some hotel rooms and
brought in some travel nurses to try and make this
as seamless as possible a possible bowl.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
The hospitals remain open.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
They say they knew this was coming, they planned for this,
and so they're claiming that this is not going to
impact patient care, but it seems impossible that it wouldn't.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
And the alert they want to put out there, folks,
do not watch what's on the news and say, oh,
I'm not going to go to the hospital. Do not delay.
If you have an issue, you need to go to
the hospital. They want to get that message out because
this could do harm if people don't get the help
they need. Continuing on the run here now in a
touching moment, really a year in the making, at the
US Figure Skating Championships. They were in St. Louis over
(14:00):
the weekend and Maxim Naumov, twenty four years old, made
the US team. Now a lot has been made of
him and people who have been talking about him because
this young man lost his parents a year ago in
that Plaine helicopter collision over the Potomac, and we have
to remember, folks on that plane were coming back from Wichita,
where they had just had the US Figure Skating Championship.
(14:22):
So this is a year really in the making for
this young man, and this was I applaud. I am
rooting for this kid in every way.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Oh, we are going to be watching him with baited breath.
He finished third, by the way in the competition, so
he's one of sixteen who made it to the Olympic team.
And he held up a photo of him as a
child holding hands with his parents. His parents were world
champions in nineteen ninety four. They competed in two Olympics.
He talked about one of his very last conversations with
(14:51):
his parents before they all boarded, or they boarded that plane,
that he asked them, do you think I could be
like you? Do you think I could make it the
way you've made it? And they were talking about his
Olympic hopes, but certainly incredibly, incredibly devastating. They were all
there together, and they left on the plane after him.
I believe that the next plane he left on one
(15:11):
earlier because they stayed to do some business there in Wichita.
So just incredibly tragic story, but a beautiful beautiful ending,
at least for now, and we will be cheering him on.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
In congrats to him as we continue on this Monday
morning run now with Gretville Dead founding member Bob Weir
passed away the age of seventy eight. You've probably seen
these headlines over the weekend, but he was a founding
member of the group. He joined what was already the Warlock.
I did not realize this part of group history, but
he joined a group that was called the Warlock at
the time at seventeen years old in nineteen sixty five.
(15:44):
They became now a part of music history, the Grateful Dead.
He was a guitarist and vocalist, but on an Instagram
count his Instagram count. Over the weekend, it was announced
quote it is with profound sadness that we share the
passing of Bobby Weir. He transitioned peacefully, surrounded by loved ones,
after care urgeously beating cancer as only Bobby could. Unfortunately,
he succumbed to underlying lung issues, is how they explained it.
(16:08):
But seventy eight. You hear those numbers now, it doesn't
seem so old. It seems young for people to pass
at seventy eight, But what an impact. I didn't realize
they were that young when they started.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
I didn't either. Seventeen and join the group in nineteen
sixty five.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
What an incredible career. And yeah, I didn't know that
they were originally called Warlock. I had no idea to
learn something about him, and certainly appreciated his family's comments
about him.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
It's always good to.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Hear how not how people die, but how they lived
and how they've been remembered.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
I will stay with us here, folks on this Monday morning.
Ron when we come back, we will get into the
Golden Globes and why I didn't appreciate her picking on
our boys, Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart. Also, Barbie has
a new Barbie out and what do the NFL Wild
Card playoff games this weekend have to do with the
(16:59):
red carpet at the Golden Globes. Give you want hint
and it has to do with a baby bomp.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
Stay here, Welcome back everyone.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
We continue our morning run on this Monday morning with Barbie.
That company has introduced its first ever autistic doll. It
goes on sale today and what makes this Barbie notable
and shares something with the autistic community. Her eyes are
shifted slightly, her elbows and wrists mimic gestures used to
(17:37):
process surrounding. There's her surroundings and her expressions. She also
is wearing noise canceling headphones and has a tablet. So
just a few differences makes all the difference. When we're
asking for little girls to see themselves represented in Barbie's.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
And we talk I should have pulled the number, But
the numbers they talk about and how many kids end
up with autism and this this is great. It's not
even about doll sales. Who cares how many they actually sell.
This is going to be done in stories across the
country today. And for folks to just think about a
company like this taking the time and thinking it's important
(18:13):
to do that messages all that really matters here. So
good job Barbie on this. They did partner with an
autism advocacy group to put this thing together. They already
have a Barbie with down syndrome, don't they have one
that uses a wheelchair. I think there's a blind Barbie
as well, So this is something they've done. Look, I
really really applaud them for.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
I think it's awesome and imagine being a parent of
a child who feels different already. To have something like
that where they can feel like they're a part of
something and they belong, that's really really cool and important.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
I love that. Well turn two. Now what a lot
of people stayed up late for the Golden Globes last night? Yes,
one battle after another, The Pit, Adolescents, Hamnet, the Studio.
Those were essentially your big winners last night.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
That's right, one battle after another, one best Picture, as
you pointed out, Comedy or Musical. They won a total
of four awards. Hamnett won Best Picture for Drama. The
Studio won Best TV Series Comedy or Musical. That is
one that I keep forgetting that we need.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
To watch that.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
I want to watch that, and the Pit Best TV
Series in the drama category Phenomenal Show, and Adolescence Best
Limited Series.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
Have not seen that?
Speaker 2 (19:20):
And I go through some of these for you all.
This was, I guess a big chakra last night with
Best Performance by Male Actor in Motion Picture Drama went
to Wagner Mora for The Secret Agent and your Face
is the same as a lot of people. YEA, who
and what? It's a foreign language film, but congrats to him.
But He beat out the likes of Michael B. Jordan
and Jeremy Allen White who played Springsteen, Dwayne Johnson, Oscar Isaac, Like, wow,
(19:43):
beat out hell of an All Star crew? What else
do you have? Rose Byrne. I didn't know this movie.
If I had legs, i'd kick you.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
I've seen it as I've gone through and wondered what
it was, but thought it seemed weird.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
But obviously it was phenomenal, or at least her performance.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Was probably no surprise. Timothy Shalomy picked up for Best Actor.
It's just remarkable that this kid beat out George Cloonley, DiCaprio,
Ethan Hawke, Jesse Plemons from Bogonia. I mean that's pretty
significant that it is significant. So Teyana Taylor was a
big one battle after another she beat. I think that
was a surprise to a lot of people.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Yeah, she looked I just wanted to say, she looked
amazing and just fierce. We've been watching her in the
Kim Kardashian Show.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
She looked amazing and fierce. So you mean she was
in public because every time you see her, that's.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
What that is kind of her her brand. But like,
what an awesome brand.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
She is bad. So a hell of a night there.
But of course a lot of people waiting on the
opening molog and Nicki Glazer's jokes. I think it was
a very good move. She had the first thing out
of her mouth. Okay, let's start the bidding for Warner
Brothers at five dollars. Like that room understands that joke.
She nailed it for that room first and foremost. I
think a lot of people at home might not even
(20:57):
have gotten it or keeping up with it the way
that that was a good, good joke. Leonardo DiCaprio, this joke,
she dipped back into the same well. I give him
credit for handling it well. Just a matter of how
young his dates seemed or they maybe they stay the
same age and he gets older.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
That's what happens.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
They claim he doesn't date anyone over the age of
twenty five. That's like the going joke.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
I knock yourself out. But she made the joke that
he's done all this in his career and it's an
impressive resume to have, and it's before his girlfriend hits
the age of thirty.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Yeah, and then she's like, that's all we know about you.
You haven't done an interview since like teen beat in
nineteen ninety one. It's true, though, if you think about it,
he is very private and that's respectable.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
But these days I just getting tired of that.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
She smiled.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
He I thought he handled it very well, and he's.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
Used to it now, I thought she. I thought this
was bold and brilliant.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
She called CBS News c BS News, Wow. She said,
the award for most editing CBS News. She also dipped
into the Epstein well a little bit and said, there
are so many A listers here, and by A listers,
I mean people who were on a list that has
been heavily redacted.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
Ouch. And then she made a joke about Timothy.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Shallamy, saying, you know, it was amazing impressive what he
did for his role as a ping pong savants.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
He gained sixty ounces for his role.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
That's pretty good because people don't know one often times. Right,
they transformed themselves and they put on all this weight.
Ar least they're on is the first one that comes
to mind, right, and as.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
He gained six ounces six ounces.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
She did make a joke about our boys, Dwayne Johns
and Kevin Hart. We love these two, but She called
them the Steve Martin and Martin short for people under
fifty IQ. I didn't like that.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
That was unnecessary.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Maybe it was personal and I we get what these.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
She also said that Kevin Hart was his plus one
half I believe, which was also a little bit of
a low blow.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
It's it's it's she's dipping back into the same well.
It's fine. I did think the best joke of night
that that maybe didn't land. She made a joke about
Wayne Johnson and his role in the Smashing Machine. Says
it's a chance he might win because the paper isn't.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
Nominated rock paper scissors. It took people a minute, It
took me a second two.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
That was my favorite joke of the night.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
So I saw that you would put that in the
notes it was your favorite joke. I'm gonna be totally honest.
I googled the paper. I was like, what is this joke?
I don't get it, And then all of a sudden,
I just sat with it and I was like, rock
paper scissors.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Paper is the only thing that beats it was rock. Yeah,
it was my favorite joking all night. It was the
smartest and dumbest joke, right. It was just so low brow,
but it was done in a high row way that
most people didn't get it and it loved it.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
Yeah, including me.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
Well I got it, but I'd definitely say it took
me thirty seconds to get.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
We should know first ever Golden Globe for podcasting was
given out last night. Amy Poehler gave us something to
aspire too. But yes, good hang with Amy Poehler did
win that she made a good joke in there as
well about them getting it right, and that NPR was
also nominated in this category, and she said, y'all gotta
do better. Just celebs coming on to talk, that's lame.
(24:03):
That's essentially all her podcast is. But she did her thing.
And also we should note Renee Wood was mentioned didn't
get too political last night, but some of the celebrities
were black and white, pen saying be good again again,
I keep pulling her? Would excuse me, Renee Good? Yes,
I even wrote it in the script here he did,
I see that, But they were writing road be good
(24:24):
buttons and ice out buttons. Several of the celebrities did.
Finally here on the run, we mentioned that it was
a big NFL wildcard weekend, but this did have a
Golden Globes twist to it. Now. The wild card weekend
was very wild. There was an NFL record set for
the most fourth quarter lead changes in a single postseason,
and they did it in the first weekend. And the
(24:45):
first weekend, you had so many lead changes in the
fourth quarter of games that it's the most we've ever
seen in an NFL entire preseason. And we still got
weeks postseason, and we still got weeks to go. Five
games for them came down to the wire. The Pagers,
the Charges, forty nine, Ers beat the Eagles, Bills beat
the Jaguars, Bears beat the Packers, Rams beat the Panthers.
But Robes Hayley Steinfeld. Did you see her on the
(25:07):
red carpet their picture with the baby bump.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
She was adorable, Yes, and she.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
Long I not.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
I think it's I actually read now. I can't tell
you exactly, but it was.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
She's she just announced her pregnancy, I believe, so it's
she's like second trimester. I believe she's in that really cute,
adorable phase. And so she had her baby bump in
her evening gown and her guy, Josh Allen, was actually
in Jacksonville beating the Jaguars. Her baby daddy was can
we go with that? He was in Jacksonville beating the Jaguars,
(25:41):
But it.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Was cool there on two different coasts, having wonderful, wonderful evenings,
and he did his Superman hero thing literally on the field.
He they couldn't be there for each other on incredibly
important nights. I thought it was just cool to see
them handle it in the way they did. Obviously he
wants his fiance there, Obviously she wants her fiance there.
Those things kind of things are cool to see them
(26:02):
dealing with it. Don't know them at all personally, and
who knows what what, But from this standpoint, I love
seeing things like that. I do too. All right, before
we let you go here on this Monday, something we'd
like for you to take with you and consider it
is our quote of the day, And on this Monday,
take this one with you. Quote. You will find your
happiness in how you look at a situation, not in
the situation itself. This is one of those common sense
(26:25):
things we all get and we all know, and we
just don't stop in the moment and apply it.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
That's so true.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Things are what they are, and how we choose to
see it determines how we feel. That I mean, I
do like those quotes because there is so much power
that we have and we give it away all the time,
and we are our own worst enemies.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
So I love that quote. Who said that.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
I did not have? I don't think this was my
pastor though I don't have a lot, I don't have
who said it. But I wrote it down in a
note when I heard it somewhere, and here it lives.
So take that with you today, folks. You will find
your happiness in how you look at a situation, not
in the situation itself. So today it's going to be
thirty degrees in windy in New York. I need to
(27:08):
look at that situation differently.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
You can say, thank goodness, I have this warm apartment
with working heat.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
And with that, folks, we always appreciate you running with us.
Signed to jail and I'm made me rovoc.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
We will talk to you soon.
Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast. Hey
there everybody, and welcome to Morning Run. It is Monday,
January twelfth.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
I'm Amy Robox and I'm TJ Holmes. We'll go into
the Nikki Glazer jokes. Yes, Golden Globes Big Nights. As
you will know by now, the big winner was a
movie we still haven't seen, the one Leonardo Dicapriole. Everybody's
been talking about. It looks good. I don't know why
we didn't. We only horror movie fans.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Yeah, but this is what? How is this considered a
thriller action thriller?
Speaker 2 (00:33):
But it won in the comedy musical or was it
the drama? I'm confused. Okay. The Golden Globes confuses us
clearly because they have categories for a movie that are
movie Comedy, musical, and movie drama. Yes, so this was
in the comedy musical. Hamnett was the one that did
the drama. There you go.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
So I would have switched the two, not having seen
either of it.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
If I had to have guessed, I would never have
put those in their respective categories.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
So we will get get into Yes, Big Night, Last
night in Hollywood, and Yes, you do have some clear
big winners. You had a few snubs, but we also
had some jokes in there that Nicki Glazer I think
they promoted, did they not? The Golden Globes as much
of a Nicki Glazer show as anything else, And.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
It was, and she really did.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
She set the tone and she led the way, and
she nailed it again for a second year in a row.
Really found a way to be funny without being mean.
She went there without going too far. She really did
an incredible job.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Okay, but we'll tell you the one joke we or
I took issue with that she told last night that
I thought cross the line ropes. We'll get into that
as always, folks, top right corner of your Apple podcast app,
where you see that little button that says follow on our
show page. Click that you can get our updates coming
to you and don't have to go hunting for them.
But the morning run, as we start on this Monday,
(01:49):
Monday morning, the legs today will take us to DC, Minneapolis, La.
Saint Louis, Jackson, Mississippi, as well as Teyroran, And that
really is where we have to start. After a violent, deadly,
disturbing weekend on the streets in Iran.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
That's right, President Trump is now considering military options for
that country, as Iran is now in the midst of
another deadly crackdown on demonstrators. As of this recording, five
hundred and forty four deaths have been reported as a
result of those protests. Trump previously said that the US
(02:27):
would intervene if the Irani regime started to kill protesters.
That clearly happened over the weekend, and.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
It has been happening, but the numbers really really jumped,
and a lot of people are wondering if the President
is going to see through on his threat, and he
is using some pretty threatening words. He did say yesterday though,
that Tehran wants to negotiate and meetings are being set up,
but he added this, we may have to act militarily
before that meeting ever takes place. But as we continue
(02:58):
on the run here related to Tehran, what's going on
in that country in Iran. Demonstrations in La to support
the demonstrations in Iran took a really terrifying turn when
a U haul truck plowed into a crowd estimated in
the hundreds. Again, they were there showing support in their
demonstration for the demonstrations in Tehran. Hundreds were gathered here.
(03:21):
This was in the Westwood neighborhood. Helped me hear this
in the UCLA where UCLA is just west of Beverly Hills. Now,
no significant injuries. Don't know how that's possible, but no
significant injuries. They say a couple of people were injured.
They offered to take them to the hospital and they refuse,
so nobody even went to the hospital. The driver is
in custody. But this driver, which was also another dangerous situation.
(03:45):
Role was because we've seen some situations now where crowds
know what to.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Do exactly, and that's exactly what happened in La. They
saw this guy plowing through the crowd and they were
I guess in the aftermath that were busted out windows
of his truck. There were reports that he was being
punched by people, and they got him to stop.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
At the end of the day, his truck stopped.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
And what he was intending to do was ended because
the crowd reacted. Now, whether they reacted appropriately or not,
I don't know, but they stopped the attack in the
midst of the attack.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
But it was ugly. But again miraculous, nobody was seriously
in next.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Up on the run.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Hundreds more agents are heading to Minnesota. That is what
we heard from Christinome. And this comes after a weekend
of tensions. Thousands of folks demonstrated. We know that there
were at least thirty arrests, but they were overwhelmingly peaceful.
They were reports of protesters throwing ICE snow rocks at
(04:41):
ICE agents and apparently one was slightly injured had to
seek some medical help for his injuries. But look, there
were some ugly scenes of citizens versus ICE agents. But
we heard again from the governor, from the mayor asking
folks not to take the bait, not to give Trump
more reason to send more troops. But regardless, hundreds more
(05:01):
troops are heading to Minnesota.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Take the bait, you have to give ICE agents and
some of this video you're seeing, you have to give
them credit for not taking the bait. I know what
a lot of people think about ICE agents and their
tactics right now, But a lot of the video and
the scenes we're seeing are people yelling, screaming viciously in
these guys faces with cameras out while these guys are
trying to carry out what are orders for them? And
some of these scenes are ugly and you're just waiting
(05:25):
for another one to explode into violence or deadly violence.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Yeah, it feels like a powder keg situation.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
It's just there's so much tension and there's so much anger,
and regardless of how you feel about ICE agents, as
you point out, they are doing their job, and that
takes a tremendous amount of restraint to sit there and
take it.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
All right, continuing on the run here on this Monday morning, Now,
Cuba has been put on notice via two tweets by
President Trump. And can we still call the ones on
truth social tweets? Can we still call the ones on
what else to call?
Speaker 3 (06:01):
I call them tweets?
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Okay, well you get what we're saying here. He does
post on truth Social. Now, after Venezuela, the President spoke
about Cuba, he spoke about Colombia, even spoke about Mexico
and talking about and putting people on notice that you
need to behave because you see what just happened to
this other guy. Well he did first tweet we're talking
about here that put Cuba on notice, said quote. Cuba
(06:23):
lived for many years on large amounts of oil and
money from Venezuela. In return, Cuba provided security services for
the last two Venezuelan dictators, but not anymore. He then says,
Venezuela now has the USA, the most powerful military in
the world, to protect them, and protect them, we will
there will be no more oil or money going to
(06:45):
Cuba zero. I strongly suggest that you make a deal
before it is too late. Those are certainly strong words,
and Cuba is a country that by all accounts, is
very much dependent on from Venezuela.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Yes, and before it is too late. Was in all
caps to just drive.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
The point home. And then there was another.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Bit of tweeting, if that's what we can call it
from President Trump. He reposted something from another social media
user who identified Secretary of State Mark Rubio as the
president of Cuba, and Trump reposted it and replied to
it saying, sounds good to me.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
I don't know which one was more alarming to the
people of Cuba, the first one or the second one.
Continue on the run here now and continuing with escalations
between Trump and somebody. This time it's Trump and the
Federal Reserve, the FED chair Jerome Powell, who you know
he's had a long standing public spat with Well. The
FED chair says Trump is threatening to throw them in jail. Yes,
(07:52):
the Federal Reserve, if you will. Powell posted a video
message saying this agency has received grand jury subpoenas putting
them under the threat of criminal indictments. What could they
possibly be indicted? Four robes apparently something having to do
with increased renovation costs at the Federal Reserve.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
It's over the Central Banks renovation of its Washington headquarters.
And the question is whether or not Jerome Powell lied
to Congress about the scope of the project. That is
the best way to describe it. But we all know,
as you pointed out, Trump cannot stand him. He didn't
do what he told him to do. He wanted him
(08:31):
to raise rates when he wanted him to raise rates,
and Jerome Powell did not do that, did not follow
the president's bidding.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Too late is the middle name. He's goiven. I'm Jerome
too late Powell.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Yes, I forgot about that. Everyone has a moniker from Trump.
And so here is what Powell said officially in response
to this criminal investigation. The threat of criminal charges is
a consequence of the Federal Reserve settling interest rates based
on our best assessment of what will serve the public,
rather than following the preferences of the president.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
And we know Lisa Cook as her name. Is he
still after or have they let that one?
Speaker 1 (09:07):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
The FED chair, the black lady, first ever black woman
to serve on the FED chair, and he's he tried
to get after her for a while over she didn't
die an I I think on her mortgage application.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Yes, there's there's They go in deep and they find
something about mortgages renovations, some sort of either you lied
or you didn't tell the full truth on some applications
somewhere for something.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Yes, but here's the thing about this one. They misappropriation
of taxpayer Uh there are they not self funded? Do
they they? I thought they didn't use taxpayer funds. The
other question I had is the Federal Reserve needs a
two and a half billion dollar renovation. I didn't know
they had a building that was worth doing a billion
dollars renovation.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
I thought they just met like a couple times a year.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
I thought they rented like a ballroom and a marriotteigure.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Like, yeah, they just need exactly that's all they need, Right,
It's just a few few omens a year that they meet.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
But that story continues, folks continuing here on the run. Now,
who dumped whom first? The Kennedy Center versus the Washington Opera.
This is happening, and this is a bizarre I guess
it would be funny if it wasn't so sad. The opera. Yes,
the Washington Opera made announcement that it will be leaving
the Kennedy Center after forty five plus years. I guess
(10:22):
this is one of the high most high profile examples
of an artist or an act leaving the Kennedy Center
because of Trump's name being on the building.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Right, and what you just said leaving the Kennedy Center,
that the National Opera was leaving the Kennedy Center. That
did not sit well with the Trump administration, because the
Kennedy Center director Richard Grenell got very upset about those
headlines and said, no, it was us, the Trump Kennedy
Center that broke up with the opera first. And so
(10:53):
he claims that his Twitter, his ex account was hijacked
and when he put out the announcement, maybe even ahead
of the Washington Opera's announcement, it got deleted unbeknownst to
him because it was hacked.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
So then he had to repost it.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
On Saturday, and then started lambasting all the headlines and
reporters theft leaning focus that they must have to say
that the opera left the Kennedy Center. No, just let's
get it straight, the Kennedy Center left the opera.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Well, of those lefties got a lot of hackers on standby,
some dedicated to just deleting posts opera posts. All right,
continuing on the run here, now, let's head down to Mississippi,
where the largest synagogue in that state was set on
fire and an arson fire intentionally set according to authorities there,
and a man has been arrested. This isn't Jackson, Mississippi.
(11:46):
It's the only synagogue in Jackson, the best Israel congregation there.
They say it's not a total loss, but significant damage.
And I think this one serves. They said about one
hundred and fifty families.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Yes, And how the suspect was caught was of note.
He actually I ended up going to a local hospital
with burns and they called police. It seemed suspicious to them,
and he, according to police, confessed that he in fact,
was the arsonist.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
Police say. There's even video of him, a hooded man
and a.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Mask, pouring liquid from a can inside the synagogue before
it was set on fire. And this is a significant structure.
This synagogue has been around since eighteen sixty It was
bombed by the KKK in nineteen sixty seven because the
rabbi at the time had expressed support anti racism and
support for the black community, and so they were the
(12:37):
target of a hate crime all the way back in
nineteen sixty seven.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
But that is a shame and don't exactly know why.
But the FBI is a part of that investigation as well.
We continue on the run here now and nurses about
to go on strike this morning in the country's largest city,
the one we are sitting in New York City right now.
We're talking about around sixteen thousand nurses expected to go
on strike today, the largest such that the city has.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Yes, we are talking about sixteen thousand. So the union
and the hospitals couldn't come to terms before their work
contract expired December thirty first, and so the question is
how does this impact patients in the area. There definitely
have been some scheduled elective surgeries.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
That were moved around.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
They claimed that they've bought out some hotel rooms and
brought in some travel nurses to try and make this
as seamless as possible a possible bowl.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
The hospitals remain open.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
They say they knew this was coming, they planned for this,
and so they're claiming that this is not going to
impact patient care, but it seems impossible that it wouldn't.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
And the alert they want to put out there, folks,
do not watch what's on the news and say, oh,
I'm not going to go to the hospital. Do not delay.
If you have an issue, you need to go to
the hospital. They want to get that message out because
this could do harm if people don't get the help
they need. Continuing on the run here now in a
touching moment, really a year in the making, at the
US Figure Skating Championships. They were in St. Louis over
(14:00):
the weekend and Maxim Naumov, twenty four years old, made
the US team. Now a lot has been made of
him and people who have been talking about him because
this young man lost his parents a year ago in
that Plaine helicopter collision over the Potomac, and we have
to remember, folks on that plane were coming back from Wichita,
where they had just had the US Figure Skating Championship.
(14:22):
So this is a year really in the making for
this young man, and this was I applaud. I am
rooting for this kid in every way.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Oh, we are going to be watching him with baited breath.
He finished third, by the way in the competition, so
he's one of sixteen who made it to the Olympic team.
And he held up a photo of him as a
child holding hands with his parents. His parents were world
champions in nineteen ninety four. They competed in two Olympics.
He talked about one of his very last conversations with
(14:51):
his parents before they all boarded, or they boarded that plane,
that he asked them, do you think I could be
like you? Do you think I could make it the
way you've made it? And they were talking about his
Olympic hopes, but certainly incredibly, incredibly devastating. They were all
there together, and they left on the plane after him.
I believe that the next plane he left on one
(15:11):
earlier because they stayed to do some business there in Wichita.
So just incredibly tragic story, but a beautiful beautiful ending,
at least for now, and we will be cheering him on.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
In congrats to him as we continue on this Monday
morning run now with Gretville Dead founding member Bob Weir
passed away the age of seventy eight. You've probably seen
these headlines over the weekend, but he was a founding
member of the group. He joined what was already the Warlock.
I did not realize this part of group history, but
he joined a group that was called the Warlock at
the time at seventeen years old in nineteen sixty five.
(15:44):
They became now a part of music history, the Grateful Dead.
He was a guitarist and vocalist, but on an Instagram
count his Instagram count. Over the weekend, it was announced
quote it is with profound sadness that we share the
passing of Bobby Weir. He transitioned peacefully, surrounded by loved ones,
after care urgeously beating cancer as only Bobby could. Unfortunately,
he succumbed to underlying lung issues, is how they explained it.
(16:08):
But seventy eight. You hear those numbers now, it doesn't
seem so old. It seems young for people to pass
at seventy eight, But what an impact. I didn't realize
they were that young when they started.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
I didn't either. Seventeen and join the group in nineteen
sixty five.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
What an incredible career. And yeah, I didn't know that
they were originally called Warlock. I had no idea to
learn something about him, and certainly appreciated his family's comments
about him.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
It's always good to.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Hear how not how people die, but how they lived
and how they've been remembered.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
I will stay with us here, folks on this Monday morning.
Ron when we come back, we will get into the
Golden Globes and why I didn't appreciate her picking on
our boys, Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart. Also, Barbie has
a new Barbie out and what do the NFL Wild
Card playoff games this weekend have to do with the
(16:59):
red carpet at the Golden Globes. Give you want hint
and it has to do with a baby bomp.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
Stay here, Welcome back everyone.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
We continue our morning run on this Monday morning with Barbie.
That company has introduced its first ever autistic doll. It
goes on sale today and what makes this Barbie notable
and shares something with the autistic community. Her eyes are
shifted slightly, her elbows and wrists mimic gestures used to
(17:37):
process surrounding. There's her surroundings and her expressions. She also
is wearing noise canceling headphones and has a tablet. So
just a few differences makes all the difference. When we're
asking for little girls to see themselves represented in Barbie's.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
And we talk I should have pulled the number, But
the numbers they talk about and how many kids end
up with autism and this this is great. It's not
even about doll sales. Who cares how many they actually sell.
This is going to be done in stories across the
country today. And for folks to just think about a
company like this taking the time and thinking it's important
(18:13):
to do that messages all that really matters here. So
good job Barbie on this. They did partner with an
autism advocacy group to put this thing together. They already
have a Barbie with down syndrome, don't they have one
that uses a wheelchair. I think there's a blind Barbie
as well, So this is something they've done. Look, I
really really applaud them for.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
I think it's awesome and imagine being a parent of
a child who feels different already. To have something like
that where they can feel like they're a part of
something and they belong, that's really really cool and important.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
I love that. Well turn two. Now what a lot
of people stayed up late for the Golden Globes last night? Yes,
one battle after another, The Pit, Adolescents, Hamnet, the Studio.
Those were essentially your big winners last night.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
That's right, one battle after another, one best Picture, as
you pointed out, Comedy or Musical. They won a total
of four awards. Hamnett won Best Picture for Drama. The
Studio won Best TV Series Comedy or Musical. That is
one that I keep forgetting that we need.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
To watch that.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
I want to watch that, and the Pit Best TV
Series in the drama category Phenomenal Show, and Adolescence Best
Limited Series.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
Have not seen that?
Speaker 2 (19:20):
And I go through some of these for you all.
This was, I guess a big chakra last night with
Best Performance by Male Actor in Motion Picture Drama went
to Wagner Mora for The Secret Agent and your Face
is the same as a lot of people. YEA, who
and what? It's a foreign language film, but congrats to him.
But He beat out the likes of Michael B. Jordan
and Jeremy Allen White who played Springsteen, Dwayne Johnson, Oscar Isaac, Like, wow,
(19:43):
beat out hell of an All Star crew? What else
do you have? Rose Byrne. I didn't know this movie.
If I had legs, i'd kick you.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
I've seen it as I've gone through and wondered what
it was, but thought it seemed weird.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
But obviously it was phenomenal, or at least her performance.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Was probably no surprise. Timothy Shalomy picked up for Best Actor.
It's just remarkable that this kid beat out George Cloonley, DiCaprio,
Ethan Hawke, Jesse Plemons from Bogonia. I mean that's pretty
significant that it is significant. So Teyana Taylor was a
big one battle after another she beat. I think that
was a surprise to a lot of people.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Yeah, she looked I just wanted to say, she looked
amazing and just fierce. We've been watching her in the
Kim Kardashian Show.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
She looked amazing and fierce. So you mean she was
in public because every time you see her, that's.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
What that is kind of her her brand. But like,
what an awesome brand.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
She is bad. So a hell of a night there.
But of course a lot of people waiting on the
opening molog and Nicki Glazer's jokes. I think it was
a very good move. She had the first thing out
of her mouth. Okay, let's start the bidding for Warner
Brothers at five dollars. Like that room understands that joke.
She nailed it for that room first and foremost. I
think a lot of people at home might not even
(20:57):
have gotten it or keeping up with it the way
that that was a good, good joke. Leonardo DiCaprio, this joke,
she dipped back into the same well. I give him
credit for handling it well. Just a matter of how
young his dates seemed or they maybe they stay the
same age and he gets older.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
That's what happens.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
They claim he doesn't date anyone over the age of
twenty five. That's like the going joke.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
I knock yourself out. But she made the joke that
he's done all this in his career and it's an
impressive resume to have, and it's before his girlfriend hits
the age of thirty.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Yeah, and then she's like, that's all we know about you.
You haven't done an interview since like teen beat in
nineteen ninety one. It's true, though, if you think about it,
he is very private and that's respectable.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
But these days I just getting tired of that.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
She smiled.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
He I thought he handled it very well, and he's.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
Used to it now, I thought she. I thought this
was bold and brilliant.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
She called CBS News c BS News, Wow. She said,
the award for most editing CBS News. She also dipped
into the Epstein well a little bit and said, there
are so many A listers here, and by A listers,
I mean people who were on a list that has
been heavily redacted.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
Ouch. And then she made a joke about Timothy.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Shallamy, saying, you know, it was amazing impressive what he
did for his role as a ping pong savants.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
He gained sixty ounces for his role.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
That's pretty good because people don't know one often times. Right,
they transformed themselves and they put on all this weight.
Ar least they're on is the first one that comes
to mind, right, and as.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
He gained six ounces six ounces.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
She did make a joke about our boys, Dwayne Johns
and Kevin Hart. We love these two, but She called
them the Steve Martin and Martin short for people under
fifty IQ. I didn't like that.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
That was unnecessary.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Maybe it was personal and I we get what these.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
She also said that Kevin Hart was his plus one
half I believe, which was also a little bit of
a low blow.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
It's it's it's she's dipping back into the same well.
It's fine. I did think the best joke of night
that that maybe didn't land. She made a joke about
Wayne Johnson and his role in the Smashing Machine. Says
it's a chance he might win because the paper isn't.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
Nominated rock paper scissors. It took people a minute, It
took me a second two.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
That was my favorite joke of the night.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
So I saw that you would put that in the
notes it was your favorite joke. I'm gonna be totally honest.
I googled the paper. I was like, what is this joke?
I don't get it, And then all of a sudden,
I just sat with it and I was like, rock
paper scissors.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Paper is the only thing that beats it was rock. Yeah,
it was my favorite joking all night. It was the
smartest and dumbest joke, right. It was just so low brow,
but it was done in a high row way that
most people didn't get it and it loved it.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
Yeah, including me.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
Well I got it, but I'd definitely say it took
me thirty seconds to get.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
We should know first ever Golden Globe for podcasting was
given out last night. Amy Poehler gave us something to
aspire too. But yes, good hang with Amy Poehler did
win that she made a good joke in there as
well about them getting it right, and that NPR was
also nominated in this category, and she said, y'all gotta
do better. Just celebs coming on to talk, that's lame.
(24:03):
That's essentially all her podcast is. But she did her thing.
And also we should note Renee Wood was mentioned didn't
get too political last night, but some of the celebrities
were black and white, pen saying be good again again,
I keep pulling her? Would excuse me, Renee Good? Yes,
I even wrote it in the script here he did,
I see that, But they were writing road be good
(24:24):
buttons and ice out buttons. Several of the celebrities did.
Finally here on the run, we mentioned that it was
a big NFL wildcard weekend, but this did have a
Golden Globes twist to it. Now. The wild card weekend
was very wild. There was an NFL record set for
the most fourth quarter lead changes in a single postseason,
and they did it in the first weekend. And the
(24:45):
first weekend, you had so many lead changes in the
fourth quarter of games that it's the most we've ever
seen in an NFL entire preseason. And we still got
weeks postseason, and we still got weeks to go. Five
games for them came down to the wire. The Pagers,
the Charges, forty nine, Ers beat the Eagles, Bills beat
the Jaguars, Bears beat the Packers, Rams beat the Panthers.
But Robes Hayley Steinfeld. Did you see her on the
(25:07):
red carpet their picture with the baby bump.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
She was adorable, Yes, and she.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
Long I not.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
I think it's I actually read now. I can't tell
you exactly, but it was.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
She's she just announced her pregnancy, I believe, so it's
she's like second trimester. I believe she's in that really cute,
adorable phase. And so she had her baby bump in
her evening gown and her guy, Josh Allen, was actually
in Jacksonville beating the Jaguars. Her baby daddy was can
we go with that? He was in Jacksonville beating the Jaguars,
(25:41):
But it.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Was cool there on two different coasts, having wonderful, wonderful evenings,
and he did his Superman hero thing literally on the field.
He they couldn't be there for each other on incredibly
important nights. I thought it was just cool to see
them handle it in the way they did. Obviously he
wants his fiance there, Obviously she wants her fiance there.
Those things kind of things are cool to see them
(26:02):
dealing with it. Don't know them at all personally, and
who knows what what, But from this standpoint, I love
seeing things like that. I do too. All right, before
we let you go here on this Monday, something we'd
like for you to take with you and consider it
is our quote of the day, And on this Monday,
take this one with you. Quote. You will find your
happiness in how you look at a situation, not in
the situation itself. This is one of those common sense
(26:25):
things we all get and we all know, and we
just don't stop in the moment and apply it.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
That's so true.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Things are what they are, and how we choose to
see it determines how we feel. That I mean, I
do like those quotes because there is so much power
that we have and we give it away all the time,
and we are our own worst enemies.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
So I love that quote. Who said that.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
I did not have? I don't think this was my
pastor though I don't have a lot, I don't have
who said it. But I wrote it down in a
note when I heard it somewhere, and here it lives.
So take that with you today, folks. You will find
your happiness in how you look at a situation, not
in the situation itself. So today it's going to be
thirty degrees in windy in New York. I need to
(27:08):
look at that situation differently.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
You can say, thank goodness, I have this warm apartment
with working heat.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
And with that, folks, we always appreciate you running with us.
Signed to jail and I'm made me rovoc.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
We will talk to you soon.
