Speaker 1 (00:01):
Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast. Good
morning everyone, Thanks for joining us for today's Morning Run.
It is Wednesday, July sixteenth.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
I'm Amy Robots and I'm TJ Holmes. President Trump just
doesn't understand why his magabas is all worked up and
has this fascination with Jeffrey Epstein calling the files boring. Meantime,
there's mounting pressure from high ranking Republicans for more transparency
in the case.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Plus, according to the latest inflation numbers, turns out those
Trump tariffs have in fact led to higher prices for
Americans on just about everything.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Also this morning, a real life horror story connected to
another horror story, the sudden and unexplained death of a
paranormal investigator who was touring with the allegedly haunted Annabelle.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Doll And the world's oldest marathoner dies at the age
of one hundred and fourteen. Seems unusual to say this
next line given his age, but his life was tragically
cut short. Plus, the largest piece of Mars on Earth
goes up for auction today in New York City and
it's expected price tag, well, it's out of this world.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
But bump. Also on the run This morning Major League
Baseball and it's All Star game with a hell of
a tiebreaker a first ever home run swing off. And
the twenty twenty five Emmy nominations are out. Will tell
you who got the most nod You could probably guess.
Some of those. Will tell you also who got snubbed.
Some of those you won't be able to guess. And
(01:35):
what world famous actor got his first ever Emmy nomination
at the age of eighty three. And I don't think
robes were over selling this. He quite frankly is one
of the biggest movie stars of our lifetime.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Just ever, I was shocked when I read it was
his first Emmy nomination. So congratulations to unnamed world face
actor who we shall reveal.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
In just a moment.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
We're not overselling this, by the way. He's a big deal.
It's awesome that he's getting one. All right.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
We do begin our run though, in Washington, d C,
where their pressure continues to build over those Jeffrey Epstein files.
President Trump addressed the issue while speaking to reporters yesterday,
questioning why his MAGA supporters continue to demand answers after
last week's DOJ and FBI report showed there was no
Epstein client list and confirm that Epstein did die by suicide.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Trump said, I don't understand it. Why would they be
so interested? He's dead for a long time. He was
never a big factor in terms of life. I don't
understand what the fascination is. I really don't, and the
credible information has been given. But in true Trump form,
he did not stop there. He went on to say, quote,
it's pretty boring stuff. It's sortid, but it's boring, and
(02:53):
I don't understand why it keeps going in quotes.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
And keep going. It certainly does. Several members of the
Republican Party, including House Speaker Mike Johnson, said yesterday that
he supports the release of all the files, saying Attorney
General Pam Bondi quote needs to come forward and explain
her previous comment that she had a client list sitting
on her desk. Bondi had said now that she was
(03:18):
simply referring to the Epstein case file, not the alleged
client list, although she definitely did say client list.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Conspiracy theorists are all over that they will never ever
let that go as just a mistake and just a
slip of the tongue. Correct called it the wrong thing. Well,
Johnson and other Republicans said they would like to see
Epstein's former associate Gleaanne Maxwell, who's serving twenty years for
sex trafficking, testify before Congress. Meanwhile, President Trump once again
(03:45):
told reporters he still supports Bondi, saying she's handled the
Epstein case very well and it's going to be up
to her. Quote, whatever she thinks is credible, she should
release Bondi.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Meantime, yesterday sidestep questions about Epstein in an unrelated conference,
But she did say this in reference to these several
high profile members of the Magabase calling for her resignation quote,
I'm going to be here for as long as the
President wants me here, and I believe he's made that
crystal clear.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
All Right. We continue on our run this morning with
economists having a I told you so moment right now
because they told us that President Trump's tariffs would lead
to all of us paying higher prices eventually, and the
latest inflation numbers seem to be telling us that their
predictions and our fears are coming true.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Inflation went up two point seven percent last month. That
is a much sharper increase from the previous month. Clothing, gas, appliances, toys, food, energy.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
You name it.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
We're paying more for all of it. Economists say this
was just a matter of time before companies began passing
those costs along to consumers. Seems like it's happened in
pretty fast order. Like that's even quicker than I would
have expected.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Yeah, and some thought, I mean they were taking a
little bit of a victory that because the first in
the coming weeks, in the month or so, ah, nothing's
really happening. It's going to be fine. And now here
it comes, and we'll see how bad it's going to get.
On this Wednesday morning, we continue our run now with
a shocking and sad story and some would even tell
you suspicious if you're certainly a horror movie fan out there.
(05:18):
But a lot of folks in the horror movie world
and in the paranormal world are reeling after this. And
this is something we certainly are probably going to get
into a little later. We'll explain why we're so into it.
But a well known paranormal investigator who's been touring the
country with the Annabelle doll, you know, the one that
was made famous in all those conjuring movies. Well, that
(05:38):
investigator has now died unexpectedly and Robes, is it fair
to say inexplicably at the age of fifty four.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Yes, that is very true right now. Dan Rivera's cause
of death has not been released, and according to the
local papers, it was described as unexpected. But according to officials,
he was found unred response if in his hotel room.
He was on tour the night before. Rivera was described
as full of charisma in his sold out event. It
(06:09):
was a weekend long event. Thousands of tickets were sold
like standing room only. He was there displaying the allegedly
cursed Annabelle doll. Rivera was mentored by Lorraine Warren of
Ed and Lorraine Warren Fame.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
They are the married.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Couple who housed the annabel doll in a locked box
at their museum until Lorraine's death in twenty nineteen.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Now the couple claimed the doll was inhabited by an
inhuman spirit and warned it should not be touched or
interfered with. The Warren's experiences and the doll itself are
subject with the wildly popular didn't you tell me it's
the most successful horror franchise in history. Yes, yes, the
Conjuring movies. They have another one coming out in September,
the fourth, and at least the Conjuring series. But they
got all the annabel.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Movies, the Nun series.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
All that is connected to this world. And look this doll,
whether you believe it or not, this doll has been
a part of a lot of their history, their research,
and they say documented cases of paranormal activity.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Yes, And if you've seen the movies, you know how
scary the Annabelle doll looks. Actually, the real doll that
is referenced in the movies that Rivera was traveling or
touring with, actually in some ways is even creepier. It's
a raggedy an doll. It actually looks almost pleasant, which
makes it scarier, if that makes sense.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
That is a very good way to put it. But
the one in the movie they make look so terrifying
as well. Yes, but the real raggedy it looks raggedy, yeah, looks,
and it's big.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
It's kind of oversized, a big, oversized raggedy ann doll.
But yes, there is gonna be much more to come
on that. And yes, conspiracy theorists will run wild with
this one.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Next up on Iran.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
The world's oldest marathon or has died at the age
of one hundred and fourteen. Foja Singh, known as the
turbaned Tornado, took up running in his late eighties. He
didn't even do his first marathon until the age of
eighty nine.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
That sounds like something that's physically impossible.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
It does.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Somebody would tell you it can't be done. So a
certain age of some things you can't do. This is incredible.
He went on to complete nine marathons and in twenty
eleven became the first centenarian to complete a marathon. His
final one was in twenty thirteen. He was one hundred
and two one hundred inches.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
That's mind blowing, mind blowing.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
So when we saw the head yes we as marathon
or see this and go what the actual.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
I actually have chills thinking about it.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Possible the idea of that we saw the headline, that
it passed away and you immediately go, oh, that's too bad,
it's sad. It's fair that your first thought would be Okay,
Finally old age caught up to him, but no, he
tragically died in of all things, a hit and run accident.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
This is this is wild.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
He was out for his daily walk in the town
near where he was born in India when he was
struck by a car. The driver kept going, but was
later arrested and seeing later unfortunately succumbed to his injuries
at the hospital. And though he was known as the
oldest marathon er in the world, Singh was never officially
recognized at the Guinness World as the Guinness World record
(09:05):
Holder because they insisted on official documentation to proprove his age,
like a birth certificate.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Singh's response to that they didn't keep good records in
India when I was born in nineteen eleven. How did
yeah come up with that?
Speaker 3 (09:18):
That makes a lot of sense.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
He does have a British passport that shows his age.
Why they gave him a passport for some reason, but
that wasn't good enough for Guinness. He also got the
honor of carrying the torch for the twenty twelve London Olympics.
He also got a letter, he said on his birthday
when he turned one hundred from the Queen as well.
So this guy was well known. If you don't know him,
but he was world recognized for the feat And in
(09:41):
case you're thinking, oh guy, okay, eighty nine ninety one hundred,
hap is he really running? I mean, we've been in
plenty of marathons. Sometimes people just walk them correct, some
people take time. They will run a little bit and
walk a little bit. However they mix it up. His
best time was five hours and forty minutes in the
Toronto Marathon in twenty In two thousand and three, we
run he was running. Yes, that guy is he is
(10:02):
a marathon runner at that age that I cannot believe that.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
I am so impressed, so impressed that he could do that.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
But just how tragic, how sad that that's how he
died one hundred and fourteen.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
There's that speculation by the police and whatnot, but that
if the driver had actually stopped and got him and
got him with some medical attention, it might have sped
things up. It might have saved his life. But who knows. There, Yeah,
one hundred and fourteen. You're not supposed to die like that.
It's tragic if you die of anything other than old
age at that age.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
We are honoring focusing today and we appreciate all he
gave to the running world and inspiring so many people
that you're never too old to begin something new, even
something as daunting.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
As a marathon.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
All right, well, next up on our run and out
of this world auction is happening today in New York City.
A piece of Mars will be sold to the highest bidder.
And it's not just any chunk of the red planet.
It is the largest piece of Mars on Earth.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
I didn't know we had pieces of Mars.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
I didn't either.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
To be honest with you, I'm going to be honest
to you, Okay. This meteorite traveled one hundred and forty
million miles through space, was found in the Sahara Desert
two years ago. Soth Bees believe it will fetch anywhere
between two and four million dollars. Seems low, to be
honest with you. It weighs just over fifty four pounds.
Signed to say it was likely dislodged from Mars by
(11:19):
an asteroid stretch.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
And most meteors burn up when they fall into Earth's atmosphere,
but the ones that do survive the trip are considered meteorites,
and they are extremely rare, thus the extremely high price
expected it tonight's auction. I love the way Sotheby's describes
its items up for auction. So here's how they describe
the Mars meteorite, whethered by its journey through space and time.
(11:42):
Its immense size and unmistakable red color sets its apart
as a once in a generation find.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
It's pretty good.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
It is beautiful. I looked at it. It's a gorgeous
It's more than just a paper weight. It's actually quite large,
and it would be beautifully displayed on anyone's shelf securely
and safely secured.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
There isn't that what it's about? Art and art collection?
I say art, But you go to an auction, you
want something nobody else has.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
It's a piece of art and it is one of
a kind.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Nobody can ever ever get one of these again, maybe
Elon in a few years. We are going to continue
on our run here when we come back, folks. That
was a first ever event at the All Star Game
for the Major League Baseball All Stars last night. It's
something we have never seen in how the game ended,
and it was the most thrilling finish in the history
(12:30):
of that game. Also, we'll get into the Emmy nominations.
A lot of people got snubbed, including a lot of
people from White Lotus but there's a very good reason why. Also,
we have the oldest nominee ever and we got one
of the biggest stars we have ever seen in movies
getting his first nomination at the age of eighty three.
(12:58):
All right, let's continue on this Wednesday morning run now
with the Major League All Star Game. It ended in fun,
fantastic and first ever fashion. Last night, the game was
tied after nine innings. A lot of people see that
a baseball game going into extra innings, so they decided
years ago they changed rules. So instead of going to
(13:19):
extra innings, the league came up with a much better idea,
a swing off.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
It's like penalty kicks in soccer games. It's so thrilling,
it's so nail biting. It's so much better than extra
time or extra innings.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
Yay to this new rule.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
It was implemented a few years ago, but last night
was the first time it was ever actually used and
it was awesome. This is how it goes. Each manager
picks three batters. Each batter gets only three swings of
the bat, but there are unlimited pitches.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Well, it's like a home run derby. You pick a
friend of yours or something to come out there and
just throw the pitches to you. You pick the one
you love, and but you only get three swings. So
the last bat was Kyle Schwarber of Philadelphia. He's the
last batter, his team is now down three to one
in the swing off, and he gets three swings, and
(14:10):
what does he do? He hits a homer on all
three swings, making the score four to three. National League
wins game over. They should consider implementing this for the
entirety of the Major League Baseballs, they agreed, and.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
Wow, Kyle is like the hero now of the day.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Didn't have a hit in the game, but was voted
MVP because of that kid.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
You not that makes a lot of sense, all right,
And for the final leg of our run. The twenty
twenty five Emmy nominations announced yesterday, and apparently we learned
that Severance is a really good show. The Apple TV
drama leads all shows with twenty seven nominations, including for
Best Actor and Best Actress for its leads Adam Scott
and Britt Lower.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
And Seth Rogan's The Studio, also a part of Apple TV.
It picked up twenty three nominations, but that is a
record for a comedy in its debut.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Cc I told you we need to start watching that.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
This is what we're reminded every time the Oscars comes around,
every time the Emmy's come around, like, wow, we are
really behind.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
I really really really want to watch the studio and things.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
You need to see. All right, So, no surprise, A
White Lotus had a really good showing. Twenty three nominations,
but a bit of a surprise and considered a snub
to some. Michelle moynihan, no nomination. Patrick Schwarzenegger, Now he
was like the breakout that everybody loved. No nomination. Leslie Bibb,
no nomination. Now you hear that. The problem here is
(15:38):
they're just not enough awards to go around. Because three
women from White Lotus were nominated. How good of a
show is this that the show gets three women in
the actors category and you're still thinking, Wow, those other.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
Women got snubbed.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
I mean, it'd be hard to pick because they were
all so so good.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Parker Posey, nobody's gonna argue.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
See everyone knew, I mean she was. She stole the
show in a lot of ways.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Okay, Carrie koon is the one. She was so good
every single episode you said.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
She was, she was nailing it, okay.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
And also on the men's side, they got three in
the supporting actress categories. So it's just they got too
many outstanding actors for I.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
Think that's what it was.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
They just had too many really good folks doing what
they do, all right. The Penguin on HBO Max got
twenty four nominations, The Last of Us got sixteen nominations,
the Bear got thirteen.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
But get this, and.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
This was a shocker to us because we love this here,
squid Game did not get a single nomination.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
They explained this as well, that the season we're watching now,
the one that just came out, the third one that ever,
it's awesome. Yes, this is based on season two.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
It wasn't as good as the first, and a lot of.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Saying it wasn't as good. It wasn't the first, but
to not get a single nomination was still a little surprising.
Couple of other notes here, Kathy Bates, oldest person to
be nominating the lead actress category at the age of
seventy seven, show Matt Locke love that she got awesome.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
She's amazing.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
And again we've been talking about you said this actor
world famous, one of the biggest movie stars ever is
getting a first time Emmy nomination at the age of
eighty three. I guess it makes sense, Ropes, we only
know him as a movie star's a TV star of
any kuy. I guess it's Harrison Ford for the show Shrinking,
which is on Z that Apple as well.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
I have not watched that yet, Okay. And then Martin
Scorsese another cool note here, He's got a nomination for acting,
his first ever acting nomination. Yes, this Oscar winning world
famous and yeah, director, but there's a category for guest
appearances that he's nominated for his cameo in the studio.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
Another reason to watch the studio all right? Another note, Oh,
this one's tough.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Elizabeth Moss, one of my all time favorites, did not
get a nomination for the final season of Handmaid's Tale.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
By the way, the final season is a.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Phenomenal If you have not watched, the last two episodes
were described as a love letter to fans, and it truly,
truly is two episodes.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
I watched the first episode. You've been talking about it.
I know it's a great show. I've just never sat
down and watched.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
It is so well done. It's so sad it's over.
But by the way, Moss got a nod the past
four years, and she did one.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
She did win once.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Your full list of shows nominated in Drama category and
or The Diplomat, The Last of Us, Paradise, The Pit Severance,
Slow Horses, and The White Lotus. The seventy seventh Annual
Emmy Awards will take place on September fourteenth.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
And if you want to know what streamer is out
there crushing it, listen to the list of nominations. HBO
and Max was at HBO Max. They're leading nominations with
one hundred and forty two.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Netflix has one hundred and twenty. Apple has seventy nine
after that Big Drop, The next closest has thirty seven,
after that thirty five twenty those they are crushing it.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
The streaming services are crushing it right regular just mainstream networks.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Not so much. But in terms of quality, this is
about quality of show, quality of acting, quality of writing, shooting.
They are crushing it by far. Now. One other Emmy's
note here, I included this. I don't know. I almost
didn't include it because I'm like Drake can't just catch
a break. Drake is still getting pounded over. Not like us,
(19:17):
because Kendrick Lamar is actually nominated for an Emmy for
his super Bowl halftime show. But to win the Emmy,
he's gonna have to beat Beyonce, who's also nominated for
a halftime show. This is for a category that they have.
It's called Outstanding Live Variety Special.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
I love that. I think that should be absolutely a category.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Kendrick nominated for a super Bowl halftime show, which ended
up being the most watched in history. Beyonce is it's
for her halftime performance at the NFL's Christmas Day game.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Now the other nominees here, I mentioned one because we
watched this together and we were blown away by Doci
her Grammy Award performance. That was my first time seeing
her kind of not necessarily looked at her videos online.
She blew us. She was amazing at the Grammys, and
that dang performance is nominated for an Emmy.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
So a performance at another award show can land you
another award.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
That's amazing.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Congratulations to dot And on this Wednesday, before we let
you go, something we want you to consider take with you.
It is our quote of the day.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Too many people grow up. That's the real trouble with
the world. Too many people grow up. They forget, they
don't remember what it's like to be twelve. They patronize,
they treat children as inferiors.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
Well, I won't do that. That's from Walt.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
Disney, Okay, who said that. Okay, that makes sense, But like.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
I love this idea.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
You and I have talked about how we don't want
to grow old together, we want to stay young together.
And I do think that is so true when you
just sometimes and we've done this, we like to people watch,
but we just watch children.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
Just watch children.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
If you're sitting down somewhere at a park bench, at
a restaurant where you can look out, watch how children operate.
They're skipping, they're dancing, they're smiling, they're in wonder of
everything around them. And that's what I want to always
try to hold on to.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
And so I just loved this quote.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
So take that with you today, folks, and remember that
too many people grow up. That's the real trouble with
the world. Too many people grow up, they forget, they
don't remember what it's like to be twelve years old.
They patronize, they treat children as inferiors. Well, I won't
do that. And with that, folks, we always appreciate you
listening to us and running with us. I'm d J.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
Holts and I'm Amy Robot.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Hope y'all have a wonderful Wednesday.
Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast. Good
morning everyone, Thanks for joining us for today's Morning Run.
It is Wednesday, July sixteenth.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
I'm Amy Robots and I'm TJ Holmes. President Trump just
doesn't understand why his magabas is all worked up and
has this fascination with Jeffrey Epstein calling the files boring. Meantime,
there's mounting pressure from high ranking Republicans for more transparency
in the case.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Plus, according to the latest inflation numbers, turns out those
Trump tariffs have in fact led to higher prices for
Americans on just about everything.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Also this morning, a real life horror story connected to
another horror story, the sudden and unexplained death of a
paranormal investigator who was touring with the allegedly haunted Annabelle.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Doll And the world's oldest marathoner dies at the age
of one hundred and fourteen. Seems unusual to say this
next line given his age, but his life was tragically
cut short. Plus, the largest piece of Mars on Earth
goes up for auction today in New York City and
it's expected price tag, well, it's out of this world.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
But bump. Also on the run This morning Major League
Baseball and it's All Star game with a hell of
a tiebreaker a first ever home run swing off. And
the twenty twenty five Emmy nominations are out. Will tell
you who got the most nod You could probably guess.
Some of those. Will tell you also who got snubbed.
Some of those you won't be able to guess. And
(01:35):
what world famous actor got his first ever Emmy nomination
at the age of eighty three. And I don't think
robes were over selling this. He quite frankly is one
of the biggest movie stars of our lifetime.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Just ever, I was shocked when I read it was
his first Emmy nomination. So congratulations to unnamed world face
actor who we shall reveal.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
In just a moment.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
We're not overselling this, by the way. He's a big deal.
It's awesome that he's getting one. All right.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
We do begin our run though, in Washington, d C,
where their pressure continues to build over those Jeffrey Epstein files.
President Trump addressed the issue while speaking to reporters yesterday,
questioning why his MAGA supporters continue to demand answers after
last week's DOJ and FBI report showed there was no
Epstein client list and confirm that Epstein did die by suicide.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Trump said, I don't understand it. Why would they be
so interested? He's dead for a long time. He was
never a big factor in terms of life. I don't
understand what the fascination is. I really don't, and the
credible information has been given. But in true Trump form,
he did not stop there. He went on to say, quote,
it's pretty boring stuff. It's sortid, but it's boring, and
(02:53):
I don't understand why it keeps going in quotes.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
And keep going. It certainly does. Several members of the
Republican Party, including House Speaker Mike Johnson, said yesterday that
he supports the release of all the files, saying Attorney
General Pam Bondi quote needs to come forward and explain
her previous comment that she had a client list sitting
on her desk. Bondi had said now that she was
(03:18):
simply referring to the Epstein case file, not the alleged
client list, although she definitely did say client list.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Conspiracy theorists are all over that they will never ever
let that go as just a mistake and just a
slip of the tongue. Correct called it the wrong thing. Well,
Johnson and other Republicans said they would like to see
Epstein's former associate Gleaanne Maxwell, who's serving twenty years for
sex trafficking, testify before Congress. Meanwhile, President Trump once again
(03:45):
told reporters he still supports Bondi, saying she's handled the
Epstein case very well and it's going to be up
to her. Quote, whatever she thinks is credible, she should
release Bondi.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Meantime, yesterday sidestep questions about Epstein in an unrelated conference,
But she did say this in reference to these several
high profile members of the Magabase calling for her resignation quote,
I'm going to be here for as long as the
President wants me here, and I believe he's made that
crystal clear.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
All Right. We continue on our run this morning with
economists having a I told you so moment right now
because they told us that President Trump's tariffs would lead
to all of us paying higher prices eventually, and the
latest inflation numbers seem to be telling us that their
predictions and our fears are coming true.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Inflation went up two point seven percent last month. That
is a much sharper increase from the previous month. Clothing, gas, appliances, toys, food, energy.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
You name it.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
We're paying more for all of it. Economists say this
was just a matter of time before companies began passing
those costs along to consumers. Seems like it's happened in
pretty fast order. Like that's even quicker than I would
have expected.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Yeah, and some thought, I mean they were taking a
little bit of a victory that because the first in
the coming weeks, in the month or so, ah, nothing's
really happening. It's going to be fine. And now here
it comes, and we'll see how bad it's going to get.
On this Wednesday morning, we continue our run now with
a shocking and sad story and some would even tell
you suspicious if you're certainly a horror movie fan out there.
(05:18):
But a lot of folks in the horror movie world
and in the paranormal world are reeling after this. And
this is something we certainly are probably going to get
into a little later. We'll explain why we're so into it.
But a well known paranormal investigator who's been touring the
country with the Annabelle doll, you know, the one that
was made famous in all those conjuring movies. Well, that
(05:38):
investigator has now died unexpectedly and Robes, is it fair
to say inexplicably at the age of fifty four.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Yes, that is very true right now. Dan Rivera's cause
of death has not been released, and according to the
local papers, it was described as unexpected. But according to officials,
he was found unred response if in his hotel room.
He was on tour the night before. Rivera was described
as full of charisma in his sold out event. It
(06:09):
was a weekend long event. Thousands of tickets were sold
like standing room only. He was there displaying the allegedly
cursed Annabelle doll. Rivera was mentored by Lorraine Warren of
Ed and Lorraine Warren Fame.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
They are the married.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Couple who housed the annabel doll in a locked box
at their museum until Lorraine's death in twenty nineteen.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Now the couple claimed the doll was inhabited by an
inhuman spirit and warned it should not be touched or
interfered with. The Warren's experiences and the doll itself are
subject with the wildly popular didn't you tell me it's
the most successful horror franchise in history. Yes, yes, the
Conjuring movies. They have another one coming out in September,
the fourth, and at least the Conjuring series. But they
got all the annabel.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Movies, the Nun series.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
All that is connected to this world. And look this doll,
whether you believe it or not, this doll has been
a part of a lot of their history, their research,
and they say documented cases of paranormal activity.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Yes, And if you've seen the movies, you know how
scary the Annabelle doll looks. Actually, the real doll that
is referenced in the movies that Rivera was traveling or
touring with, actually in some ways is even creepier. It's
a raggedy an doll. It actually looks almost pleasant, which
makes it scarier, if that makes sense.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
That is a very good way to put it. But
the one in the movie they make look so terrifying
as well. Yes, but the real raggedy it looks raggedy, yeah, looks,
and it's big.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
It's kind of oversized, a big, oversized raggedy ann doll.
But yes, there is gonna be much more to come
on that. And yes, conspiracy theorists will run wild with
this one.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Next up on Iran.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
The world's oldest marathon or has died at the age
of one hundred and fourteen. Foja Singh, known as the
turbaned Tornado, took up running in his late eighties. He
didn't even do his first marathon until the age of
eighty nine.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
That sounds like something that's physically impossible.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
It does.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Somebody would tell you it can't be done. So a
certain age of some things you can't do. This is incredible.
He went on to complete nine marathons and in twenty
eleven became the first centenarian to complete a marathon. His
final one was in twenty thirteen. He was one hundred
and two one hundred inches.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
That's mind blowing, mind blowing.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
So when we saw the head yes we as marathon
or see this and go what the actual.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
I actually have chills thinking about it.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Possible the idea of that we saw the headline, that
it passed away and you immediately go, oh, that's too bad,
it's sad. It's fair that your first thought would be Okay,
Finally old age caught up to him, but no, he
tragically died in of all things, a hit and run accident.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
This is this is wild.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
He was out for his daily walk in the town
near where he was born in India when he was
struck by a car. The driver kept going, but was
later arrested and seeing later unfortunately succumbed to his injuries
at the hospital. And though he was known as the
oldest marathon er in the world, Singh was never officially
recognized at the Guinness World as the Guinness World record
(09:05):
Holder because they insisted on official documentation to proprove his age,
like a birth certificate.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Singh's response to that they didn't keep good records in
India when I was born in nineteen eleven. How did
yeah come up with that?
Speaker 3 (09:18):
That makes a lot of sense.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
He does have a British passport that shows his age.
Why they gave him a passport for some reason, but
that wasn't good enough for Guinness. He also got the
honor of carrying the torch for the twenty twelve London Olympics.
He also got a letter, he said on his birthday
when he turned one hundred from the Queen as well.
So this guy was well known. If you don't know him,
but he was world recognized for the feat And in
(09:41):
case you're thinking, oh guy, okay, eighty nine ninety one hundred,
hap is he really running? I mean, we've been in
plenty of marathons. Sometimes people just walk them correct, some
people take time. They will run a little bit and
walk a little bit. However they mix it up. His
best time was five hours and forty minutes in the
Toronto Marathon in twenty In two thousand and three, we
run he was running. Yes, that guy is he is
(10:02):
a marathon runner at that age that I cannot believe that.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
I am so impressed, so impressed that he could do that.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
But just how tragic, how sad that that's how he
died one hundred and fourteen.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
There's that speculation by the police and whatnot, but that
if the driver had actually stopped and got him and
got him with some medical attention, it might have sped
things up. It might have saved his life. But who knows. There, Yeah,
one hundred and fourteen. You're not supposed to die like that.
It's tragic if you die of anything other than old
age at that age.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
We are honoring focusing today and we appreciate all he
gave to the running world and inspiring so many people
that you're never too old to begin something new, even
something as daunting.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
As a marathon.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
All right, well, next up on our run and out
of this world auction is happening today in New York City.
A piece of Mars will be sold to the highest bidder.
And it's not just any chunk of the red planet.
It is the largest piece of Mars on Earth.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
I didn't know we had pieces of Mars.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
I didn't either.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
To be honest with you, I'm going to be honest
to you, Okay. This meteorite traveled one hundred and forty
million miles through space, was found in the Sahara Desert
two years ago. Soth Bees believe it will fetch anywhere
between two and four million dollars. Seems low, to be
honest with you. It weighs just over fifty four pounds.
Signed to say it was likely dislodged from Mars by
(11:19):
an asteroid stretch.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
And most meteors burn up when they fall into Earth's atmosphere,
but the ones that do survive the trip are considered meteorites,
and they are extremely rare, thus the extremely high price
expected it tonight's auction. I love the way Sotheby's describes
its items up for auction. So here's how they describe
the Mars meteorite, whethered by its journey through space and time.
(11:42):
Its immense size and unmistakable red color sets its apart
as a once in a generation find.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
It's pretty good.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
It is beautiful. I looked at it. It's a gorgeous
It's more than just a paper weight. It's actually quite large,
and it would be beautifully displayed on anyone's shelf securely
and safely secured.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
There isn't that what it's about? Art and art collection?
I say art, But you go to an auction, you
want something nobody else has.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
It's a piece of art and it is one of
a kind.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Nobody can ever ever get one of these again, maybe
Elon in a few years. We are going to continue
on our run here when we come back, folks. That
was a first ever event at the All Star Game
for the Major League Baseball All Stars last night. It's
something we have never seen in how the game ended,
and it was the most thrilling finish in the history
(12:30):
of that game. Also, we'll get into the Emmy nominations.
A lot of people got snubbed, including a lot of
people from White Lotus but there's a very good reason why. Also,
we have the oldest nominee ever and we got one
of the biggest stars we have ever seen in movies
getting his first nomination at the age of eighty three.
(12:58):
All right, let's continue on this Wednesday morning run now
with the Major League All Star Game. It ended in fun,
fantastic and first ever fashion. Last night, the game was
tied after nine innings. A lot of people see that
a baseball game going into extra innings, so they decided
years ago they changed rules. So instead of going to
(13:19):
extra innings, the league came up with a much better idea,
a swing off.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
It's like penalty kicks in soccer games. It's so thrilling,
it's so nail biting. It's so much better than extra
time or extra innings.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
Yay to this new rule.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
It was implemented a few years ago, but last night
was the first time it was ever actually used and
it was awesome. This is how it goes. Each manager
picks three batters. Each batter gets only three swings of
the bat, but there are unlimited pitches.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Well, it's like a home run derby. You pick a
friend of yours or something to come out there and
just throw the pitches to you. You pick the one
you love, and but you only get three swings. So
the last bat was Kyle Schwarber of Philadelphia. He's the
last batter, his team is now down three to one
in the swing off, and he gets three swings, and
(14:10):
what does he do? He hits a homer on all
three swings, making the score four to three. National League
wins game over. They should consider implementing this for the
entirety of the Major League Baseballs, they agreed, and.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
Wow, Kyle is like the hero now of the day.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Didn't have a hit in the game, but was voted
MVP because of that kid.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
You not that makes a lot of sense, all right,
And for the final leg of our run. The twenty
twenty five Emmy nominations announced yesterday, and apparently we learned
that Severance is a really good show. The Apple TV
drama leads all shows with twenty seven nominations, including for
Best Actor and Best Actress for its leads Adam Scott
and Britt Lower.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
And Seth Rogan's The Studio, also a part of Apple TV.
It picked up twenty three nominations, but that is a
record for a comedy in its debut.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Cc I told you we need to start watching that.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
This is what we're reminded every time the Oscars comes around,
every time the Emmy's come around, like, wow, we are
really behind.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
I really really really want to watch the studio and things.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
You need to see. All right, So, no surprise, A
White Lotus had a really good showing. Twenty three nominations,
but a bit of a surprise and considered a snub
to some. Michelle moynihan, no nomination. Patrick Schwarzenegger, Now he
was like the breakout that everybody loved. No nomination. Leslie Bibb,
no nomination. Now you hear that. The problem here is
(15:38):
they're just not enough awards to go around. Because three
women from White Lotus were nominated. How good of a
show is this that the show gets three women in
the actors category and you're still thinking, Wow, those other.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
Women got snubbed.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
I mean, it'd be hard to pick because they were
all so so good.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Parker Posey, nobody's gonna argue.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
See everyone knew, I mean she was. She stole the
show in a lot of ways.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Okay, Carrie koon is the one. She was so good
every single episode you said.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
She was, she was nailing it, okay.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
And also on the men's side, they got three in
the supporting actress categories. So it's just they got too
many outstanding actors for I.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
Think that's what it was.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
They just had too many really good folks doing what
they do, all right. The Penguin on HBO Max got
twenty four nominations, The Last of Us got sixteen nominations,
the Bear got thirteen.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
But get this, and.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
This was a shocker to us because we love this here,
squid Game did not get a single nomination.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
They explained this as well, that the season we're watching now,
the one that just came out, the third one that ever,
it's awesome. Yes, this is based on season two.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
It wasn't as good as the first, and a lot of.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Saying it wasn't as good. It wasn't the first, but
to not get a single nomination was still a little surprising.
Couple of other notes here, Kathy Bates, oldest person to
be nominating the lead actress category at the age of
seventy seven, show Matt Locke love that she got awesome.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
She's amazing.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
And again we've been talking about you said this actor
world famous, one of the biggest movie stars ever is
getting a first time Emmy nomination at the age of
eighty three. I guess it makes sense, Ropes, we only
know him as a movie star's a TV star of
any kuy. I guess it's Harrison Ford for the show Shrinking,
which is on Z that Apple as well.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
I have not watched that yet, Okay. And then Martin
Scorsese another cool note here, He's got a nomination for acting,
his first ever acting nomination. Yes, this Oscar winning world
famous and yeah, director, but there's a category for guest
appearances that he's nominated for his cameo in the studio.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
Another reason to watch the studio all right? Another note, Oh,
this one's tough.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Elizabeth Moss, one of my all time favorites, did not
get a nomination for the final season of Handmaid's Tale.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
By the way, the final season is a.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Phenomenal If you have not watched, the last two episodes
were described as a love letter to fans, and it truly,
truly is two episodes.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
I watched the first episode. You've been talking about it.
I know it's a great show. I've just never sat
down and watched.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
It is so well done. It's so sad it's over.
But by the way, Moss got a nod the past
four years, and she did one.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
She did win once.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Your full list of shows nominated in Drama category and
or The Diplomat, The Last of Us, Paradise, The Pit Severance,
Slow Horses, and The White Lotus. The seventy seventh Annual
Emmy Awards will take place on September fourteenth.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
And if you want to know what streamer is out
there crushing it, listen to the list of nominations. HBO
and Max was at HBO Max. They're leading nominations with
one hundred and forty two.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Netflix has one hundred and twenty. Apple has seventy nine
after that Big Drop, The next closest has thirty seven,
after that thirty five twenty those they are crushing it.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
The streaming services are crushing it right regular just mainstream networks.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Not so much. But in terms of quality, this is
about quality of show, quality of acting, quality of writing, shooting.
They are crushing it by far. Now. One other Emmy's
note here, I included this. I don't know. I almost
didn't include it because I'm like Drake can't just catch
a break. Drake is still getting pounded over. Not like us,
(19:17):
because Kendrick Lamar is actually nominated for an Emmy for
his super Bowl halftime show. But to win the Emmy,
he's gonna have to beat Beyonce, who's also nominated for
a halftime show. This is for a category that they have.
It's called Outstanding Live Variety Special.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
I love that. I think that should be absolutely a category.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Kendrick nominated for a super Bowl halftime show, which ended
up being the most watched in history. Beyonce is it's
for her halftime performance at the NFL's Christmas Day game.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Now the other nominees here, I mentioned one because we
watched this together and we were blown away by Doci
her Grammy Award performance. That was my first time seeing
her kind of not necessarily looked at her videos online.
She blew us. She was amazing at the Grammys, and
that dang performance is nominated for an Emmy.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
So a performance at another award show can land you
another award.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
That's amazing.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Congratulations to dot And on this Wednesday, before we let
you go, something we want you to consider take with you.
It is our quote of the day.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Too many people grow up. That's the real trouble with
the world. Too many people grow up. They forget, they
don't remember what it's like to be twelve. They patronize,
they treat children as inferiors.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
Well, I won't do that. That's from Walt.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
Disney, Okay, who said that. Okay, that makes sense, But like.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
I love this idea.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
You and I have talked about how we don't want
to grow old together, we want to stay young together.
And I do think that is so true when you
just sometimes and we've done this, we like to people watch,
but we just watch children.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
Just watch children.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
If you're sitting down somewhere at a park bench, at
a restaurant where you can look out, watch how children operate.
They're skipping, they're dancing, they're smiling, they're in wonder of
everything around them. And that's what I want to always
try to hold on to.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
And so I just loved this quote.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
So take that with you today, folks, and remember that
too many people grow up. That's the real trouble with
the world. Too many people grow up, they forget, they
don't remember what it's like to be twelve years old.
They patronize, they treat children as inferiors. Well, I won't
do that. And with that, folks, we always appreciate you
listening to us and running with us. I'm d J.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
Holts and I'm Amy Robot.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Hope y'all have a wonderful Wednesday.
