Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Hey folks, It's Thursday, October, the third and happy National
Boyfriend Day. To you all, I'm boyfriend TJ. Holmes.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
Oh wow, this is news to me. You added that
I'm Amy Roebuck. Everyone said, girlfriend of my lovely boyfriend
on this National Boyfriend Day. Thank you for being mine.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Sounds like you have big plans and surprises in store,
but we'll get all that later as we get going
on our morning run. Thank you all for being here.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
In October, surprise in the form of a one hundred
and sixty five page document that calls Trump a criminal.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Also a doctor Polea's guilty in the overdose death of
Matthew Perry and Biden plans to chat with net Yahoo,
but can all out war in the Middle East be avoided?
Speaker 1 (00:51):
And Helene now the second deadliest storm in a half century.
Rescue and recovery continues today. And sure it was interesting,
but the ratings say not as many people were interested
in watching the Van Swaltz debate.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Also, I'm so used to being broke, but not like this.
Bank of America customers were seeing a balance of zero
when they logged into their accounts. Also, possibly the greatest
actor alive is coming out of retirement.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Cannot wait for that story, but we're going to begin
our morning run. In Washington, d C. With just thirty
three days until the presidential election, a judge unseals new
evidence in the federal election case against former President Trump. Now,
in it we see the evidence prosecutors presented for why
Trump should not be immune from prosecution on federal charges
(01:43):
of plotting to overturn the twenty twenty election.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
They say the case should go forward despite the Supreme
Court's ruling on presidential amenity immunity. Now, Throughout the one
hundred and sixty five page document, prosecutors make the argument
that Trump's actions to overturn the election were in his
private capacity as a candidate and not in any official
capacity as a president. Therefore, he does not have presidential immunity.
(02:10):
In other words, he was acting as a private citizen
running for office and not as the president of the
United States.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Now, the Trump campaign says Smith's narrative is falsehood ridden
and unconstitutional. Inside those one hundred and sixty five pages,
prosecutors said Trump's phone activity logs show he was scrolling
through Twitter. He was using his phone all while officers
were being assaulted at the US Capital on January sixth.
They also argue that Trump and Mike Pence's discussions were
(02:38):
in their private capacities as running mates and not in
their official government roles.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Yeah, the document says that Pence gradually and gently trying
to convince Trump to accept the lawful results all the election,
even if it meant they lost. And when Trump was
informed that Pence had to be rushed to a secure
location after Trump verbally attacked him for refusing to help
overturn the election, he said these two words.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
So what they go on to say Trump resorted to
crimes to try and stay in office, and they argue
he worked with a team of private co conspirators when
he pursued and I'm quoting here multiple criminal means to
disrupt through fraud and deceit the government function by which
votes are collected and counting. And prosecutors are also saying
they have a witness who will testify that Trump told
(03:25):
family members while he was on his plane, it doesn't
matter if you won or lost the election, you still
have to fight like hell. The implication here is that
he was inciting violence.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Trump has already come out and said this is election interference,
that this is being released to influence the election that
is only about a month away. But this is a damning,
damning document. Many are calling it an October surprise, but
you could call the war that we're seeing in the
Middle East right now something of an October surprise. The
(03:57):
hurricane that we just had, a lot of people in
North Carolina. North Carolina ain't thinking about an election. How
is that going to have an impact as well? So
all these things are adding up that what how is
this going to have an impact on the election.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
But the timing, for sure, has to be questioned, and
it is certainly something that Trump supporters will point to
and rightfully so all right, next up on our run,
forty three point one million people tuned in to see
Senator jd Vance and Governor Tim Walls be nice to
each other.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
That's a pretty big drop off though.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
From the fifty nine million people who watched Mike Pence
debate Kamala Harris back in twenty twenty.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Now bad debate Harris Pence was the most watched vice
presidential debate in history. The most watched VP debate in
history wasn't two thousand and eight. I guess this isn't
that big of a surprise. This was Biden versus then
Governor Sarah Palin.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
I remember that so so well.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
A seventy million to watch that one.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
You know what, it is a sad thing, though, to
report because it is true. Doesn't it seem like when
things are good or nice or pleasant, that somehow because
it isn't dramatic or controversial, not as many people tune in,
not as many people talk about it, and that is unfortunate.
And that is why death and sex and drama sells
(05:19):
because of this exact sort of ratings response.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
And you know, another little nugget here, and I found
this interesting and I'm not sure how to feel about it,
but the three most watched vice presidential debates in history
all involved a woman on the ticket. Number three, Geraldine
Ferraro debating George Bush back in nineteen seventy four, if
I have that right, But yes, somebody said, whatever the
(05:43):
year was, but yeah, fifty six point seven million watch.
So the three most watch involved Palin, Harris, and Ferraro,
who were vice presidential picks.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Maybe watching two white guys talk isn't really that interesting nomore. Yeah,
we're kind of over it and I'm okay with that.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Well, next up on our run, President Biden says he's
going to speak to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin at Yahoo
and says this chat will happen soon with the hope
that a full scale war in the Middle East can
be avoided. But Israel showing no signs right now of
letting up on its assault on Hesbelo.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Airstrikes in and around Bairut continued overnight, targeting Hesbela infrastructure.
The militant group has been weakened greatly in recent weeks.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
I'm sure you've been keeping up with the news.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Many in his leadership have been taken out by those
Israeli attacks, including its longtime head Hassan Hasrala.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Also. Israel meanwhile, has announced that eight of its soldiers
have died in fighting in Lebanon. These are the first
deaths for Israel of its ground incursion. More than twelve
hundred people have been killed the past two weeks of fighting.
More than a million people of leven them have been displaced.
And all this is happening as robes. We still await
Israel's response to Iran's missile attack. We saw just a
(06:56):
couple of days ago when they lobbed some two hundred missiles.
Most of them were intercepted by anti missile defense systems,
but we still are waiting to see what they do there.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Yeah, I mean, it is exhausting and it is disappointing
to see this constant tit for tat every time you
turn on the news. But it is devastating for the
people in that area. And my heart just goes out
to everyone who has caught in the crosshairs with this
escalating violence that's going on between the two groups. Our
run continues in the southeast and the aftermath of Helene.
(07:30):
Can you believe it? Hurricane Helene made landfall a week
ago today, and still a million homes and businesses are
without power, hundreds are still missing, they are unaccounted for,
and the death toll continues to rise each day.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
And right now it is one hundred and ninety At
least one hundred and ninety people confirmed dead across six states.
This now makes Helene the second deadlyest hurricane to hit
the US in the past fifty plus years, only second
to Katrina in two thousand and five, and most of
the desks and power out as we are seeing robes
(08:07):
have been in the Carolinas, where still some places are
completely cut off, shut off, you can't get to them.
I think we did some reporting here that even mules
were being used to try to get supplies to people.
So those two places have been hit hard.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Yeah, some of the descriptions coming specifically out of the Asheville,
North Carolina area, those towns in and around those mountain
that mountainous region are calling it apocalyptic that people don't
have water, they don't have basic needs. And so there
are yes, thousands of people on the ground there and
in the air trying to get supplies to folks and
(08:41):
still trying to find people, still trying to rescue people
of days almost a week later. This is just terrible
to witness.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
And what the problem is that we've seen this in
storms in the past where it's almost a relief. You
see these trucks, the power trucks that all right, they're here,
it's to restore power. The problem here is the crews
can't just restore power. The infrastructure has been taken out.
There is nothing to restore. You have to rebuild a
whole power grid in some of these places. Is that devastating?
(09:12):
So this is going to be a long haul.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Yeah. I mean anyone who has been involved or has
been around a natural disaster like this, and certainly we've
reported from them and I have been without power for
as long as five days, but in a professional capacity.
And when you get to where you're at a week
where you haven't had a shower, you can't flush the toilet,
you're standing in line for a bottle of water, you're
actually physically hungry. These are tough days for the folks there,
(09:39):
and their help can't come soon enough.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
All right.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Coming up next, we are going to be talking about
Matthew Perry. Another doctor has pleaded guilty in the death
of the superstar. Welcome back, every one. We continue our
run this morning with a doctor pleading guilty in the
overdose death of Matthew Perry. Mark Chavez is one of
(10:04):
five people charged in the case, and is now the
third among them to enter a guilty plead.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Prosecutor say he wrote fraudulent prescriptions to obtain ketamine, which
he then provided to another doctor, who then passed them
along to Perry. Now, Perry's live in personal assistant and
a friend have also both pleaded guilty to charges connected
to Perry's death.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Now, Chavez pled guilty to a felony count of conspiring
to distribute ketamine. He could still face up to ten
years in prison. This was shocking just in the aftermath
of Perry's death that anyone was charged.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
It seemed like.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
It was an accidental death initially, but certainly now we
are seeing five people and three of them admit that
they contributed to Matthew Perry's death. Next up on the Run,
a second lawsuit has been filed by someone claiming he
is the one who actually caught Can you say the
name for me?
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Show Hey O, Tani's a record home run ball. That's
my fault for putting that reason.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
I don't want to be disrespectful.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
If I'm not sure I know how to say someone's name,
and I know you do, I'm going to defer TJ.
So thank you, my boyfriend on this National Boyfriend Day.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Well, we talked about Joey Otani here on The Daily
previously about his home run ball. See last month, the
Dodger superstar became the first player in history to have
fifty home runs and fifty stolen bases in a season.
The fifty to fifty club we talked about, and he
is right now the only he is the founding member
of that club. So that fiftieth home run ball is
now the subject of not one, but two lawsuits. This
(11:34):
second one was filed by a man who says he
quote firmly and completely possessed the ball in his left
hand when someone jumped over a railing, attacked him and
caused the ball to come loose.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
All right, So the first lawsuit was filed last week
by an eighteen year old who says he actually caught
the ball before another man wrestled it away from him.
Why all the fighting over a baseball? Well, it's currently
up for auction and the bidding is around a million
and a half dollars, So yes, not shocking. The fighting
(12:08):
is all over money, millions of dollars. However, it cannot
be officially sold, by the way, until these lawsuits are resolved.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
So this is a mess.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
It's going to be quite some time before that ball
goes to auction.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
If there's no video evidence, what do you do, I mean,
how do you prove this case? How I had it
in my hand and who actually is it the person
who catches it or the person who ends up with
it is the one who actually owns the ball. Yeah,
you caught it, but you dropped it. How you dropped it?
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Finders, keepers, losers, weepers. I mean, if you go back
to the to the playground, those are the rules. If
whoever ended up with it is the one who gets
to have it and gets the proceeds from it, that
would be my guest. How else, how how else would
you proceed Give.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
It to show Hey o Tani, since it's his history
and let's move on.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
I would vote for that, well, you know I would vote.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
I would or give it to charity, like you know,
the proceeds go to charity.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
All right, we're going to continue on the next leg
of our run. Here and everybody, there is no need
to panic. But as Woody would say, this is a
perfect time to panic. This is what we're talking about.
Panic buying that's taking place right now. Yes, some of
you listening right now might have gone out there. You're
grabbing toilet paper, paper, towles, water, all this stuff, stocking
(13:25):
up on the wrong items because of this long Shorman strike.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Yeah, stores are now reporting there is an unusual uptick
of sales.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
Of those items again, toilet paper.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Paper, towels, bottled water, and there are now dwindling supplies
on store shelves. Yes, forty five thousand workers went on
strike this week, shutting down thirty six ports along the
East and Gulf coasts.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Yes, this strike is going to have is having, We'll
continue to have a huge financial impact, and it has
a huge impact on imports items like bananas, automobile seafood, chocolate, alcohol,
things that we have to import. It does not affect
the things that are already here in the US and
that are made here in the US. The things you're
(14:11):
buying right now, toilet baby, baby, dowsand water.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
So perhaps stuck up on your favorite Italian wine or
your favorite Belgian chocolate and leave the toilet paper on
the shelves for the rest of us. Now, a lot
of people are pointing to the fact that it's not
that long ago where we remember those empty store shelves
in the panic during the pandemic, where we could not
find those basic items, and so people are reverting to that,
(14:35):
even buying up meat. They're just you know, intellectually, I
think you know, that those things are made here in
the United States, But emotionally, we're still responding to the
trauma we had from not being able to get things
we needed for our family. So that is what's happening
right now, and officials are just urging folks to just
take a deep breath and remember this stuff is made
(14:57):
here in the United States and it's going to continue
to be be available.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
I've got paper Townism my Amazon inbox right now or
cart right now.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
He just hearing that makes me want to go out
and make sure do I have enough hand soap?
Speaker 3 (15:08):
Do I have enough sanitizer? You know, Clorox wipes?
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Do I have enough of the Yeah, you start going
back to your twenty twenty days of do.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
I have enough?
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Okay, Well, speaking of times to panic, yesterday was one
for a lot of Bank of America customers because they
logged into the account and sure, maybe you used to
being broke, but you ain't used to it being a
zero in there. Yes, twenty thousand people were portally impacted
when they logged into their Bank of America accounts and
their account said zero.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Some people couldn't see their account balances at all. They
just saw like dashes, and that probably was a little
better than the others who could see their account balances
and were horrified to see that their balance was zero.
In other cases, customers reported trying to use ATMs, which
charged their accounts for money that the machines did not dispense.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
Wow. I would be panicked about that too.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
You're right about the dash versus zero the dash I
can deal with the trouble. Start around noon Eastern time,
but by last night, Bank of America said that the
technology the tech issues had been fully resolved. They apologized
for the inconvenience. They said the glitch was not related
to a cyber attack. They wouldn't specify what the cause was,
leaving some customers uneasy about the security of their accounts.
(16:22):
I would like my bank to say, this was the problem,
we fixed.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
It correct, correct, and we I did log into our
Bank of America account and there was a balance, Thank goodness.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
There was a balance.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Well it was the correct balance, yes, But you know,
if you go when you look and see what people
were putting on Twitter.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
I laughed at a couple of these shows. My debt
just fine, though. You know, they had a zero account bounce.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
But their credit card debt was fully, fully readable, and
they saw the amount other people were tweeting. I think
I think they owe everybody some cash for pain and
suffering because that was extremely stressful. People were talking about
canceling vacations because they thought they had no money in
their accounts. I mean, we can.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
Joke about it, but if you really believed or thought that.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Somehow this was an issue that wasn't going to be resolved,
this has a real time impact. If you're about to
go spend money, or you're about to go do something,
go out of town, and you have zero dollars in
your account, it's a major problem. Yeah, someone just wrote
not cool to lead people hanging and feeling insecure about
their money.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
That's one way to put it.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Look, my personal balance is usually about that low, So
I didn't freak out when I saw the zero yesterday.
It was about right, Well.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
We're freaking out for a much better reason. So on
this final leg of our run, not since Michael Jordan
in ninety five have we been this excited to hear
someone was coming out of retirement. Three time Oscar winner
Daniel day Lewis is ending his seven year retirement. He's
going to start in a brand new film.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
No, you are very excited about this. This guy is
absolutely I would say a celebrity crush of yours, and
I say it in the way just you have such
respect for what he does on screen. This guy is
absolutely amazing. But Da Lewis surprise everybody. It was really
shocking when he made that announcement in twenty seventeen that
he was going to quit acting. Now at that time
(18:07):
and still he is considered one of the greatest living
actors on the planet and is the only man to
ever win three Best Actor Oscars, but he said at
that time there was just some impulse that took root
in him and quitting was something he had to do.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
So what got him to come out of retirement, Not
surprisingly his son. The new film will be directed by
his son, twenty six year old Ronan da Lewis. The
father and son duo wrote the script together. It's called
Anemone and it's going to be his son's directorial debut again.
Daniel day Lewis is going to star in it. It's
(18:42):
been described the film as an exploration of the intricate
relationships between fathers, sons and brothers, as well as the
dynamics of familial bonds. He is so so good. I
know you described my crush on him very aptly, because
it's less of like a physical crush and more just
adoration because the film is my left foot. Age of Innocence,
(19:06):
you know, is my favorite. It's playing right now on
background as we and we it is oftentimes too. It
just so happened to be today as well. In the
Name of the Father, Oh my gosh, if you have
not seen that movie, and then he's okay, he's really hot.
And Last to the Mohicans, I'm gonna say, if you
haven't seen that as well. And then Lincoln, I mean, but.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Those are his oscars. Lincoln my left foot, and there
will be blood, right are the oscars. But yeah, you've
got me, and I've never seen Last of the Mohicans.
You got me into Age of Innocence, which I've seen
in the background. An I just sat and watched the movie.
But the guy is he does little things in movies
sometimes like wow, how did he make me feel that?
Or how did he make He's incredible? He absolutely is.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Yeah, And I love when he and Scorsese get together
because they did Age of Innocence.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
They did.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
There will be blood together as well. So Scorsese was
teasing earlier in the year that we might be seeing
him again, and so sure enough it's happening, folks. I
for one cannot wait.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
Well, folks, as we wrap up our run here and
you go about your day, we would like for you,
as you go about your day, to consider this.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
The best weight you will ever lose is the weight
of other people's opinion of you. We hope that gives
you something to think about as you go about your day.
But thank you in the meantime for joining us for
this morning's run. We'll see you back here tomorrow.
Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Hey folks, It's Thursday, October, the third and happy National
Boyfriend Day. To you all, I'm boyfriend TJ. Holmes.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
Oh wow, this is news to me. You added that
I'm Amy Roebuck. Everyone said, girlfriend of my lovely boyfriend
on this National Boyfriend Day. Thank you for being mine.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Sounds like you have big plans and surprises in store,
but we'll get all that later as we get going
on our morning run. Thank you all for being here.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
In October, surprise in the form of a one hundred
and sixty five page document that calls Trump a criminal.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Also a doctor Polea's guilty in the overdose death of
Matthew Perry and Biden plans to chat with net Yahoo,
but can all out war in the Middle East be avoided?
Speaker 1 (00:51):
And Helene now the second deadliest storm in a half century.
Rescue and recovery continues today. And sure it was interesting,
but the ratings say not as many people were interested
in watching the Van Swaltz debate.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Also, I'm so used to being broke, but not like this.
Bank of America customers were seeing a balance of zero
when they logged into their accounts. Also, possibly the greatest
actor alive is coming out of retirement.

you could call the war that we're seeing in the

hurricane that we just had, a lot of people in
North Carolina. North Carolina ain't thinking about an election. How
is that going to have an impact as well? So
all these things are adding up that what how is

Speaker 1 (04:10):
But the timing, for sure, has to be questioned, and
it is certainly something that Trump supporters will point to
and rightfully so all right, next up on our run,
forty three point one million people tuned in to see
Senator jd Vance and Governor Tim Walls be nice to
each other.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
That's a pretty big drop off though.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
From the fifty nine million people who watched Mike Pence
debate Kamala Harris back in twenty twenty.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Now bad debate Harris Pence was the most watched vice
presidential debate in history. The most watched VP debate in
history wasn't two thousand and eight. I guess this isn't
that big of a surprise. This was Biden versus then
Governor Sarah Palin.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
I remember that so so well.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
A seventy million to watch that one.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
You know what, it is a sad thing, though, to
report because it is true. Doesn't it seem like when
things are good or nice or pleasant, that somehow because
it isn't dramatic or controversial, not as many people tune in,
not as many people talk about it, and that is unfortunate.
And that is why death and sex and drama sells
(05:19):
because of this exact sort of ratings response.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
And you know, another little nugget here, and I found
this interesting and I'm not sure how to feel about it,
but the three most watched vice presidential debates in history
all involved a woman on the ticket. Number three, Geraldine
Ferraro debating George Bush back in nineteen seventy four, if
I have that right, But yes, somebody said, whatever the
(05:43):
year was, but yeah, fifty six point seven million watch.
So the three most watch involved Palin, Harris, and Ferraro,
who were vice presidential picks.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Maybe watching two white guys talk isn't really that interesting nomore. Yeah,
we're kind of over it and I'm okay with that.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Well, next up on our run, President Biden says he's
going to speak to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin at Yahoo
and says this chat will happen soon with the hope
that a full scale war in the Middle East can
be avoided. But Israel showing no signs right now of
letting up on its assault on Hesbelo.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Airstrikes in and around Bairut continued overnight, targeting Hesbela infrastructure.
The militant group has been weakened greatly in recent weeks.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
I'm sure you've been keeping up with the news.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Many in his leadership have been taken out by those
Israeli attacks, including its longtime head Hassan Hasrala.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Also. Israel meanwhile, has announced that eight of its soldiers
have died in fighting in Lebanon. These are the first
deaths for Israel of its ground incursion. More than twelve
hundred people have been killed the past two weeks of fighting.
More than a million people of leven them have been displaced.
And all this is happening as robes. We still await
Israel's response to Iran's missile attack. We saw just a
(06:56):
couple of days ago when they lobbed some two hundred missiles.
Most of them were intercepted by anti missile defense systems,
but we still are waiting to see what they do there.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Yeah, I mean, it is exhausting and it is disappointing
to see this constant tit for tat every time you
turn on the news. But it is devastating for the
people in that area. And my heart just goes out
to everyone who has caught in the crosshairs with this
escalating violence that's going on between the two groups. Our
run continues in the southeast and the aftermath of Helene.
(07:30):
Can you believe it? Hurricane Helene made landfall a week
ago today, and still a million homes and businesses are
without power, hundreds are still missing, they are unaccounted for,
and the death toll continues to rise each day.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
And right now it is one hundred and ninety At
least one hundred and ninety people confirmed dead across six states.
This now makes Helene the second deadlyest hurricane to hit
the US in the past fifty plus years, only second
to Katrina in two thousand and five, and most of
the desks and power out as we are seeing robes
(08:07):
have been in the Carolinas, where still some places are
completely cut off, shut off, you can't get to them.
I think we did some reporting here that even mules
were being used to try to get supplies to people.
So those two places have been hit hard.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Yeah, some of the descriptions coming specifically out of the Asheville,
North Carolina area, those towns in and around those mountain
that mountainous region are calling it apocalyptic that people don't
have water, they don't have basic needs. And so there
are yes, thousands of people on the ground there and
in the air trying to get supplies to folks and
(08:41):
still trying to find people, still trying to rescue people
of days almost a week later. This is just terrible
to witness.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
And what the problem is that we've seen this in
storms in the past where it's almost a relief. You
see these trucks, the power trucks that all right, they're here,
it's to restore power. The problem here is the crews
can't just restore power. The infrastructure has been taken out.
There is nothing to restore. You have to rebuild a
whole power grid in some of these places. Is that devastating?
(09:12):
So this is going to be a long haul.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Yeah. I mean anyone who has been involved or has
been around a natural disaster like this, and certainly we've
reported from them and I have been without power for
as long as five days, but in a professional capacity.
And when you get to where you're at a week
where you haven't had a shower, you can't flush the toilet,
you're standing in line for a bottle of water, you're
actually physically hungry. These are tough days for the folks there,
(09:39):
and their help can't come soon enough.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
All right.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Coming up next, we are going to be talking about
Matthew Perry. Another doctor has pleaded guilty in the death
of the superstar. Welcome back, every one. We continue our
run this morning with a doctor pleading guilty in the
overdose death of Matthew Perry. Mark Chavez is one of
(10:04):
five people charged in the case, and is now the
third among them to enter a guilty plead.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Prosecutor say he wrote fraudulent prescriptions to obtain ketamine, which
he then provided to another doctor, who then passed them
along to Perry. Now, Perry's live in personal assistant and
a friend have also both pleaded guilty to charges connected
to Perry's death.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Now, Chavez pled guilty to a felony count of conspiring
to distribute ketamine. He could still face up to ten
years in prison. This was shocking just in the aftermath
of Perry's death that anyone was charged.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
It seemed like.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
It was an accidental death initially, but certainly now we
are seeing five people and three of them admit that
they contributed to Matthew Perry's death. Next up on the Run,
a second lawsuit has been filed by someone claiming he
is the one who actually caught Can you say the
name for me?
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Show Hey O, Tani's a record home run ball. That's
my fault for putting that reason.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
I don't want to be disrespectful.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
If I'm not sure I know how to say someone's name,
and I know you do, I'm going to defer TJ.
So thank you, my boyfriend on this National Boyfriend Day.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Well, we talked about Joey Otani here on The Daily
previously about his home run ball. See last month, the
Dodger superstar became the first player in history to have
fifty home runs and fifty stolen bases in a season.
The fifty to fifty club we talked about, and he
is right now the only he is the founding member
of that club. So that fiftieth home run ball is
now the subject of not one, but two lawsuits. This
(11:34):
second one was filed by a man who says he
quote firmly and completely possessed the ball in his left
hand when someone jumped over a railing, attacked him and
caused the ball to come loose.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
All right, So the first lawsuit was filed last week
by an eighteen year old who says he actually caught
the ball before another man wrestled it away from him.
Why all the fighting over a baseball? Well, it's currently
up for auction and the bidding is around a million
and a half dollars, So yes, not shocking. The fighting
(12:08):
is all over money, millions of dollars. However, it cannot
be officially sold, by the way, until these lawsuits are resolved.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
So this is a mess.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
It's going to be quite some time before that ball
goes to auction.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
If there's no video evidence, what do you do, I mean,
how do you prove this case? How I had it
in my hand and who actually is it the person
who catches it or the person who ends up with
it is the one who actually owns the ball. Yeah,
you caught it, but you dropped it. How you dropped it?
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Finders, keepers, losers, weepers. I mean, if you go back
to the to the playground, those are the rules. If
whoever ended up with it is the one who gets
to have it and gets the proceeds from it, that
would be my guest. How else, how how else would
you proceed Give.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
It to show Hey o Tani, since it's his history
and let's move on.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
I would vote for that, well, you know I would vote.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
I would or give it to charity, like you know,
the proceeds go to charity.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
All right, we're going to continue on the next leg
of our run. Here and everybody, there is no need
to panic. But as Woody would say, this is a
perfect time to panic. This is what we're talking about.
Panic buying that's taking place right now. Yes, some of
you listening right now might have gone out there. You're
grabbing toilet paper, paper, towles, water, all this stuff, stocking
(13:25):
up on the wrong items because of this long Shorman strike.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Yeah, stores are now reporting there is an unusual uptick
of sales.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
Of those items again, toilet paper.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Paper, towels, bottled water, and there are now dwindling supplies
on store shelves. Yes, forty five thousand workers went on
strike this week, shutting down thirty six ports along the
East and Gulf coasts.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Yes, this strike is going to have is having, We'll
continue to have a huge financial impact, and it has
a huge impact on imports items like bananas, automobile seafood, chocolate, alcohol,
things that we have to import. It does not affect
the things that are already here in the US and
that are made here in the US. The things you're
(14:11):
buying right now, toilet baby, baby, dowsand water.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
So perhaps stuck up on your favorite Italian wine or
your favorite Belgian chocolate and leave the toilet paper on
the shelves for the rest of us. Now, a lot
of people are pointing to the fact that it's not
that long ago where we remember those empty store shelves
in the panic during the pandemic, where we could not
find those basic items, and so people are reverting to that,
(14:35):
even buying up meat. They're just you know, intellectually, I
think you know, that those things are made here in
the United States, But emotionally, we're still responding to the
trauma we had from not being able to get things
we needed for our family. So that is what's happening
right now, and officials are just urging folks to just
take a deep breath and remember this stuff is made
(14:57):
here in the United States and it's going to continue
to be be available.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
I've got paper Townism my Amazon inbox right now or
cart right now.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
He just hearing that makes me want to go out
and make sure do I have enough hand soap?
Speaker 3 (15:08):
Do I have enough sanitizer? You know, Clorox wipes?
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Do I have enough of the Yeah, you start going
back to your twenty twenty days of do.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
I have enough?
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Okay, Well, speaking of times to panic, yesterday was one
for a lot of Bank of America customers because they
logged into the account and sure, maybe you used to
being broke, but you ain't used to it being a
zero in there. Yes, twenty thousand people were portally impacted
when they logged into their Bank of America accounts and
their account said zero.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Some people couldn't see their account balances at all. They
just saw like dashes, and that probably was a little
better than the others who could see their account balances
and were horrified to see that their balance was zero.
In other cases, customers reported trying to use ATMs, which
charged their accounts for money that the machines did not dispense.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
Wow. I would be panicked about that too.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
You're right about the dash versus zero the dash I
can deal with the trouble. Start around noon Eastern time,
but by last night, Bank of America said that the
technology the tech issues had been fully resolved. They apologized
for the inconvenience. They said the glitch was not related
to a cyber attack. They wouldn't specify what the cause was,
leaving some customers uneasy about the security of their accounts.
(16:22):
I would like my bank to say, this was the problem,
we fixed.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
It correct, correct, and we I did log into our
Bank of America account and there was a balance, Thank goodness.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
There was a balance.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Well it was the correct balance, yes, But you know,
if you go when you look and see what people
were putting on Twitter.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
I laughed at a couple of these shows. My debt
just fine, though. You know, they had a zero account bounce.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
But their credit card debt was fully, fully readable, and
they saw the amount other people were tweeting. I think
I think they owe everybody some cash for pain and
suffering because that was extremely stressful. People were talking about
canceling vacations because they thought they had no money in
their accounts. I mean, we can.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
Joke about it, but if you really believed or thought that.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Somehow this was an issue that wasn't going to be resolved,
this has a real time impact. If you're about to
go spend money, or you're about to go do something,
go out of town, and you have zero dollars in
your account, it's a major problem. Yeah, someone just wrote
not cool to lead people hanging and feeling insecure about
their money.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
That's one way to put it.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Look, my personal balance is usually about that low, So
I didn't freak out when I saw the zero yesterday.
It was about right, Well.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
We're freaking out for a much better reason. So on
this final leg of our run, not since Michael Jordan
in ninety five have we been this excited to hear
someone was coming out of retirement. Three time Oscar winner
Daniel day Lewis is ending his seven year retirement. He's
going to start in a brand new film.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
No, you are very excited about this. This guy is
absolutely I would say a celebrity crush of yours, and
I say it in the way just you have such
respect for what he does on screen. This guy is
absolutely amazing. But Da Lewis surprise everybody. It was really
shocking when he made that announcement in twenty seventeen that
he was going to quit acting. Now at that time
(18:07):
and still he is considered one of the greatest living
actors on the planet and is the only man to
ever win three Best Actor Oscars, but he said at
that time there was just some impulse that took root
in him and quitting was something he had to do.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
So what got him to come out of retirement, Not
surprisingly his son. The new film will be directed by
his son, twenty six year old Ronan da Lewis. The
father and son duo wrote the script together. It's called
Anemone and it's going to be his son's directorial debut again.
Daniel day Lewis is going to star in it. It's
(18:42):
been described the film as an exploration of the intricate
relationships between fathers, sons and brothers, as well as the
dynamics of familial bonds. He is so so good. I
know you described my crush on him very aptly, because
it's less of like a physical crush and more just
adoration because the film is my left foot. Age of Innocence,
(19:06):
you know, is my favorite. It's playing right now on
background as we and we it is oftentimes too. It
just so happened to be today as well. In the
Name of the Father, Oh my gosh, if you have
not seen that movie, and then he's okay, he's really hot.
And Last to the Mohicans, I'm gonna say, if you
haven't seen that as well. And then Lincoln, I mean, but.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Those are his oscars. Lincoln my left foot, and there
will be blood, right are the oscars. But yeah, you've
got me, and I've never seen Last of the Mohicans.
You got me into Age of Innocence, which I've seen
in the background. An I just sat and watched the movie.
But the guy is he does little things in movies
sometimes like wow, how did he make me feel that?
Or how did he make He's incredible? He absolutely is.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Yeah, And I love when he and Scorsese get together
because they did Age of Innocence.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
They did.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
There will be blood together as well. So Scorsese was
teasing earlier in the year that we might be seeing
him again, and so sure enough it's happening, folks. I
for one cannot wait.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
Well, folks, as we wrap up our run here and
you go about your day, we would like for you,
as you go about your day, to consider this.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
The best weight you will ever lose is the weight
of other people's opinion of you. We hope that gives
you something to think about as you go about your day.
But thank you in the meantime for joining us for
this morning's run. We'll see you back here tomorrow.
