Speaker 1 (00:01):
Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast. Good
morning everyone, It's Tuesday, May twenty seventh, or back to
work day for a lot of you out there.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Welcome to Morning Run.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
I'm Amy Robots and I'm TJ. Holmes and on the
Tuesday Morning Run. This morning, a mini van mows down
a crowd of people who had gathered for a victory
celebration injuring fifty.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
The French president is trying to explain that shove now
seen around the world. Cameras catching his wife apparently hitting
him in the face as the door to their plane
opens in front of waiting members of the media.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Also rip to a legendary lawmaker, longtime New York Congressman
Charlie Rangel, has died at the age of ninety four.
Also this morning, three more escaped inmates from that New
Orleans jail break have been captured.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Two to go, and the third week of the Sewan
did Heycomb's trial resumes today after taking a break for
the Memorial Day holiday. Plus, singer Billy Joel announces he's
canceling the rest of his tour for the summer as
he recovers from a brain condition.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Also this morning, a man decides to go for a
sixty mile swim in shark infested waters for Memorial Day,
and not just any shark infested waters, the home of Jaws. Also,
j Lo turns the American Music Awards into a kissing
booth last night, and our opening performance wasn't the only
shocker of the evening.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Plus a big congratulations to singer Demi Levado who got
married over the weekend. And the age old question coke
or pepsi? Apparently it isn't even a question anymore? Is
pepsi fizzling out?
Speaker 3 (01:40):
But I'm bomb? Okay? See, I thought it was solid.
You didn't have to do the but dumb bomb. We
embraced that. You were embracing the joke, the bad, bad joke.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
You just told me it was just punny, punny joke.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
I just told Buddy, embraced it. It's all good. But
we will get into that in just a little bit.
We have to start through this morning the run over
in Liverpool, England, where a fifty three year old British
man has been arrested for driving his vehicle into a
crowd that was celebrating their football team's Premier League victory.
He injured. Nearly fifty people, including four children. Twenty seven
(02:13):
folks had to go to the hospital.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
According to officials, three adults and one child actually had
to be pulled from underneath the suspect's vehicle. Police have
not given a motive for the attack, but they did
say it was not an act of terrorism. British Prime
Minister Keir Starmer posted this on social media. The scenes
in Liverpool are appalling. My thoughts are with all those
(02:35):
injured or affected. And when you see the images and
even the video of the aftermath of what happened, it's
remarkable no one died, so that is at least for now.
I believe four people who are considered seriously injured. But
again no casualties, thankfully, but so many injuries.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
It wasn't a high rate of speed I suppose as
he was going through We saw the scene of course
New Years in New Orleans, where that person clearly had
intent as they were mowing through the crowd. This one
was going slower. They say no terrorism. That at least
you breathe a sigh of relief. But what was going
on was their medical emergency? What was the problem in
the car?
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Yeah, they still have to figure it out. They say
they are doing.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
You know, they're going to be interviewing this man and
obviously going through the scene. But right now they have
not given any indication as to how or why this happened.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
And you've been looking at this a little more than
I have this morning, also not saying whether or not
at all if it was an intentional act. Correct, right, correct,
All right, we will continue our run here this morning.
Next leg takes us to Vietnam, where there's been a
geoplanetary catastrophe. That's how French President Emmanuel Macaron is sarcastically
describing a private moment between him and his wife that
(03:44):
the whole world saw and robe the whole world is
talking and debating about this one.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Yeah, this is tough. So here's what happened.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Macrone had just landed in Vietnam and was about to
do that customary presidential walk down the steps from his plane.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Well, here's the problem.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
When the plane door opens, you see Macron standing inside
the plane and talking to someone who's off to the side.
A moment later, you then see his wife's hands come
into frame and shove Macron in the face.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Yes, Brigitte, his wife pushes him in the face. She
uses both hands. It looks like at least one hand
caught him clearly on the face and his head. Jerk's back. Now. Macrone,
realizing that the door had opened and that he was
probably on camera, quickly gave a quick smile after he
was shoved and scuttled out of frame. It looked like
a to be honest with you, looked like a little
kid who had just got caught doing something.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
He had a shocked look on his face.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Initially, yes he did. Now moments after that happened. Yes,
the two did fully emerge in front of cameras and
they walk down those steps together.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Notably though they were not holding hands TJ people have
pointed that out, so perhaps you know, she wasn't too.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Happy with him, or vice versa. The quick video quickly
went viral.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
In fact, it's been slow mode and paused and zoomed
in on if you want to take a look at it.
It was in all the papers back in France. That's
all they could talk about. Did the French president just
get smacked by his wife in the middle of a
domestic dispute that was caught on camera. That is the question.
But the answer, according to the French president is no.
He came out later and said they were just playing around.
(05:20):
Here's what he said, and we'll quote him here. We
are bickering. I don't know how much that's playful, but
we are bickering and joking with my wife, and a
video becomes a sort of geoplanetary catastrophe.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
It wasn't just him that was on camera. He made
some comments to reporters, but his office put an official
statements saying, quote, it was a moment where the president
and his wife were decompressing one last time before the
start of the trip by horsing around. Would you let
me get through this? In quote. They went on to
call this a moment of complicity, meaning that conspiracy theorists
now have some ammunition. Two issues and one raw. You're snickering.
(05:57):
Bickering got me and de compressing got me as two
words that make me scratch my head to go in.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
They don't go They don't pair well with joking and
horsing around. There is a very different sentiment to bickering
and to decompressing. That doesn't sound like a positive thing.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Yet, when you're saying.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
You're joking and horsing around, that seems playful and fun.
I don't think there was anything playful or.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Fun about what we saw.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
I don't know if something got lost in translation with
from French to English. Is bickering actually the right word?
That would it mean? Maybe? I'm only saying maybe, But
when you see the shove there is I'm sorry. This
is not a matter of being subjective. He was shoved
pretty significantly to his head and he jerked back. Whether
they were playing around, couples do it, brothers and sisters
(06:44):
do it? I mean, it happens, I don't know, But
looking at it, it looked like a serious shove to
the head.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
It looked like she was angry at him, and they were,
in fact, yes, bickering, and she went she took it
too far and it got caught on camera.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
If that's the case, and hey, what do you do
with that? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (07:01):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
I mean, I just think this is one of those
moments where, yes, being a little bit more transparent might
go a long way. Know what, because we all know
what we saw, So to tell us what we saw
was something different than what we saw, that's the problem.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Only reason we're still talking about, yeah, is because of that.
You're right, all right.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Next up on the run the passing of a Congressional
legend to tell you about former US Congressman from Harlem,
New York, Charles we know alm Ass. Charlie Wrangele has
died at the age of ninety four.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Yeah. Congressman wrangle was the founding member of the Congressional
Black Caucus and a Korean War vet. Was awarded both
the Purple Heart and Bronze Star for his service. He
served in Congress for forty seven years.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Yeah, you know, I didn't know that. I didn't know
he had the Bronze Star and the Purple Heart.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
That was cool to hear.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
He began his congressional career back in nineteen seventy one
and over the next four decades. Yeah, he made quite
a name for himself. He was the dean of the
newer Congressional Delegation and the first African American to chair
the Powerful Ways and Means Committee. He ultimately stepped down
from that committee back in twenty after he was censured
by the House for ethics violations.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
He continued to serve in Congress over the next seven
years until his retirement in twenty seventeen. His family confirmed
his passing saying he died at a hospital here in
New York. His death follows the death of the love
of his life, Alma, who also passed away at the
age of ninety four last October. They met at the
legendary so War Ballroom in Harlem back in the nineteen fifties.
(08:23):
And yes, he did have that stain on his resume
with those ethics violations, but going back to his youth
and in his military record, this man served. I was
just decades and decades and decades.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
In this country exactly. He was of service. And I
loved when I read that about his wife. I had
to put that in because I think so often we
focus on someone's career and their accomplishments. But that sounded
to me like one of the most beautiful parts of
his life was the love story he had with his wife.
And they do leave behind two children. And it's funny,
I said, several grandchildren.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
There must be too many to count. I don't know.
That was my takeaway from that.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
They didn't want to leave anyone.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Yeah, that's right, all right.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Next up on the run, we're going to head to
New Orleans, where police have recaptured three more escaped inmates.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Bringing the total to eight.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Count two still on the run, and two of the
recaptured inmates were actually found more than three hundred miles
away in Houston, Texas, after police say they were forwarded
a collateral lead. The other inmate was found in Baton Rouge.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
So you know by now, ten inmates got out of
the jail. This was eleven days ago now. They ripped
a toilet off the wall, climbed through the hole behind it,
and got out of there. At least nine people have
been arrested and charged in connection with helping the inmates
in one way, form or fashion, either during or after
their escape, including the jail maintenance worker who police say
(09:42):
turned off the water to the toilet, which allowed the
inmates to rip that toilet off the wall and then
get away in a hole. The inmate, of course, the
maintenance worker, of course, Ropes was just doing his job.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Oh of course he was just you know, there was
an overflowing toilet in a nearby cell. It just was coincidence,
a little bigkuinkidink, all right. Jail surveillance video shows the
inmates escaping around one am on May sixteenth, but jail
officials weren't aware they were missing until more than seven
hours later. A US Marshall described the two men who
were made on the loose as extremely dangerous. That's an
(10:13):
upgrade from what we heard before, and added that they
could be quote unquote anywhere.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Previously, they kept saying that they seemed to be all
in the New Orleans and area and staying in the area,
maybe trying to get out, and guess some of them did.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
They got out and yeah, pretty far away.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
All right, we will continue our run now. The next
leg brings us back here to Manhattan, where the Diddy
trial will resume after taking a break for the long
holiday weekend, and as much of the Salatia's back and
forth in the headlines, anytime there is a moment of
levity in court, like to bring it to you. But
the judge was telling the jurors, of course they're not sequestered,
but don't talk to anybody about the trial. He told them, instead,
(10:50):
watch the Knicks avenge their loss. So he gave them
those instructions.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
And sure enough they did, which was kind of amazing.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Maybe the judge could make more requirements of the jury
to do that, maybe even for this evening with the
next play again, anyway. This is the third full week
of the trial. Testimonies expected to continue this morning with
Sean Combe's former assistant taking the stand.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
The prosecution has called.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Sixteen witnesses so far and contends, hey, they're running right
on time. They expect to wrap up their case by
the fourth of July, but then, of course the defense
will take on their side of things.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
All right, we will continue our run here with news
about Billy Joel. He has canceled his tour for the
rest of the summer after announcing he has a brain condition.
The condition is called normal pressure hydrocephalis and is treatable,
but Joel says he's suffering with hearing, vision and balance
issues that are being made worse by the performing.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
So he says, yeah, his doctors have asked him to
take it easy, to focus on his physical therapy so
he can return to the stage one day soon. That's
what we got in terms of timing. Joel posted to
his fans on social media that he is sincerely sorry
to disappoint our audience and thanks them for understanding. Both
Joel's current wife and his ex wife, Christy Brinkley, all
took to social media supporting the piano man and thanking
(12:05):
fans for the outpouring of love and well wishes that
they have been sending Joel's way.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Yeah, I haven't done a deep dive on this condition,
but they speak as if he can recover from it
and possibly perform.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Yes, there was a surgery you have to have done.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
It's basically about pressure in the back of your brain
that builds and really affects your ability to Yeah, if
you can't see well, if you can't hear well, if
you if you can't balance well, you should not be
up on stage. So he finally had to pull back
from that. But man, I was looking for tickets for
Annalis because he is one of her favorites. And I
actually saw he was coming to City Field. I got excited,
(12:39):
and now they've canceled.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
All of it. So we'll wait for his return and
hope for the best.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
We me do I Madison Square Garden, it seems like
and he sells out like just ten shows.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Yes, they and it speaks to his unbelievable draw that
a nineteen year old girl is begging her mom to
take her to the Billy Joel concert. And I would
love to go because he was one of my favorites
coming up. So yes, we hope he recovers fully and
is back on stage soon.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
All right, we'll stay with us here on this Tuesday morning.
Ron When we come back, a man decides to take
a sixty mile swim in the waters where Jaws lives.
Also coming up the American Music Awards last night, and
at the top of the show, you'll get a kiss.
You'll get a kiss. You'll get a kiss. That's from
j Lo. Also coke or pepsi? Pepsi ain't even in
(13:24):
this conversation anymore. The next leg of our run maybe
is a swim. A swim around Martha's vineyard. Yes, that
is where a fifty five year old man became the
first person ever to swim around the Massachusetts Island. He's
(13:45):
an endurance athlete by the name of Lewis Pugh. He
finished the sixty plus mile swim took him twelve days,
finished on Memorial Day, and he had actually Ropes a
mission in mind.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Yeah, he said he wanted to raise awareness about the
plight of sharks all time with the movie Jaws fiftieth
anniversary that happens next month. Can you believe it came
out June twentieth nineteen seventy five. Well Pugh began his
swim at the Edgartown Lighthouse, which is the town where
the film was originated from. Edgerton was depicted as Amity Island.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
But get this.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
He had to have safety personnel in a boat next
to him with a shark shield device.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
Okay, you're gonna have to help me with this. The
device created a low intensity electric field in the water
to keep sharks away from pew without harming the sharks.
Before he jumped in, he said, Jaws was a film
about sharks attacking humans, and for fifty years we have
been attacking sharks. It's madness. We need to respect them.
Now if he's raising an issue about the plight of sharks,
(14:48):
and they're not our enemy and they're are friends. But
I'm going to swim around with the device to make
sure these sharks don't hurt me.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
He added, I'm not saying that it's safe to swim
with sharks. I'm not saying that it's safe to do
what I'm doing. He actually said that, so it's kind
of interesting. But he wants people not to look at
them as villains.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
So don't jump in the water with a device to
protect you from.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
Them, exactly.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
I thought when I saw that detail was kind of
buried in some of the stories, like, wait, this is
actually fairly significant. He actually had to do what he
did with the device to keep the sharks away from him,
which to me kind of disproves the point he's trying
to make.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
Okay, we're laughing about this a little. And obviously you
should not be in the water with a great white shark.
Obviously you should.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
And by the way, you know that just like, was
it a week or two ago they had the first
sighting of They always have great whites in this area,
but this one was a mammoth.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
I showed you the picture. I said, look at the
photo that they just took.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
Look, we respect what this guy just did and to
be able to do in sixty miles and the whole point.
And I wouldn't have the nerve to get in there
even with that device. But it's it's kind of counter
into it if and it's kind of yes, it's not hypocritical,
but it's it's.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
A little ironic. Let's just go with ironic.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Okay. Still, the water was around forty seven degrees for
his swim. He only wore shorts and goggles. He was
didn't have some big protective suit that is coal, So
I give him credit for that. And that was a
northeaster so several dates.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
Yeah, you remember that it was freezing cold outside of
the water, all right, he said, this is pretty remarkable.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
This was the most difficult swim of his career.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
And this is a guy who became the first athlete
to swim across the North Pole and has completed a
long distance swim in every single one of the world's oceans. Pugh, yes,
hopes his swim will change the perception that sharks urvilliance. However,
we have just laughed our way through that. Sorry, no,
but this is actually he points us out, and this
is something for shark level, sorry, shark lovers and animal
(16:39):
lovers around the world to recognize. According to the American
Association for the Advancement of Science, two hundred and seventy
four thousand sharks are killed in the world every day.
I can't get my head around that. That means one
hundred million sharks are killed every year.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
That is certainly sad.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
They have used that statistic of her that absolutely for
years and years and years, and no sharks overwhelmingly aren't
killing and eating people year and year out. The numbers
you can see around the world are in the single
digits and sometimes under five. Year after year. We get that.
And yes, it's important to make the point he's making.
And maybe that detail we highlight. It was supposed to.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Be buried, right, but I'm sorry I had to bring
it up.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
It's important note to make. We will continue our run now,
we'll get out of the water and we will head
to the desert. In particular, we're gonna head to Vegas
where j Lo kissed a girl and a boy on
stage of the American Music Awards last night. Yeah, that
is how the show started. The fifty first annual AMAS
took place at the Fountain Blue and Las Vegas, with
Jennifer Lopez serving as hosts, and she.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Opened the show with a signature high octane j low
performance of a medley of nominated songs.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
But she set the.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Place and the Internet on fire when during one portion
of the performance she locked lips with one of her
male backup dancers and then immediately turned to kiss a
female dancer. After j Loo's lessons in liplocking, they handed
out some awards.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
Oh yeah, we got some awards to get to and
no question, Billy Eilish the biggest winner of the night.
She swept all seven categories she was nominated in, including
Artist of the Year and Album of the Year. Other
big winners Dan and Shay Favorite Country Group. This is
the fifth time they won this award, sizz A Favorite
Female Artist, Favorite Song for Saturn, Gracie Abrams, Best New.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Artists, Yes, and some of the biggest named snubs Schaffel, Roon, Shaboozie,
Sabrina Carpenter, they were all shut Al Carverenter was nominated
in six categories and you know who else was shut out.
This is a big headline Taylor Swift. For the first
time since two thousand and seven, Taylor Swift did not
win a single American Music Award. She was nominated in
(18:46):
six categories and she was beaten by Billie Eilish in
five of them.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
I put that in this snub category. But to think
that she has gone twenty straight years almost winning an
American Music award of some kind, that's pretty impressive from
Taylor Swift. You know who else walked way short handed,
but not empty handed. Kendrick Lamar shorthanded, way short handed.
He entered the night with the most nominations of nominations
of being the artist ten, but he ended up just
with one win for a favorite hip hop song. I
(19:11):
don't have to tell you.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
What it is.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
No wonder which one that was.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
But favorite hip Hop Artist and Favorite hip Hop Album
went to eminem Now this is interesting, even his collaboration
of the Year nomination with Sizza for that song Luca God.
I love that song this World. It did not win, however,
you'll be happy to know who beat them. Your other
favorite song.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
Oh wait, guy with a smile, die with a smile. Yes, okay, okay, okay.
I love that song.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
I can play that on repeat all day, all right.
Other highlights Jenna Jackson performed on TV for the first
time in seven years. She received an Icon Award, and
Rod Stewart received a Lifetime Achievement Awards. And this is
a cool award ceremony because this is about the fans
and they're voting for their favorite artists.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
Sometimes when you scratch your head and go, hey, wait
a minute, I don't agree with that, or that wasn't
the biggest hit of the year, fans are voting for
their favorite things, and this is what makes this one cool.
The Wicket soundtrack was nominated as well. Muana iiO was
competing in the same category for favorite Soundtrack. You know
what one? Neither one of those two Arcane League of
(20:16):
Legends Season two soundtrack. Huh exactly. This is an animated
show on Netflix, okay, and his second season soundtrack one.
This is a fan thing.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
The fans have spoken.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
They jumped in there and voted in there. You go. Well,
let's talk about some wedding bells next. On this Run
with Dimmi Lovato, thirty two year old singer Tied the
Knot with singer songwriter thirty four year old Jordan Jutes
Loots on Sunday. The two met working on Levato's latest album,
which was in twenty twenty two. Beningay since December of
twenty twenty three.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
And I love what Jutes had to say before the wedding,
telling People magazine this about their long engagement. I just
had to include this. Indulge me here for a bit,
he said. I feel like a lot of weddings can
be stressful and very quick, and so we're on it,
but we're also taking our time and we're also just
enjoying being engaged. We're not trying to skip engagement to
get right to the wedding. We're basking in it and
(21:07):
soaking it up. Will be married forever. We just want
to enjoy every step. I love that we see so
many people rushing. They just want the immediacy of like,
now we're married, and it's like about the wedding. I
love what he said that it was about enjoying the
ride and knowing that it's gonna last forever, so.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
There's no rush.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
It's kind of cool to be engaged. Yeah, take a moment,
take a beat, and everybody's when you're together, They say,
when you're gonna get engaged, when you engage, when is
the wedding? Can we take a beat and let me
enjoy what's taking place? So good for him. I don't
know this, young fellow, but I like what he said.
There last leg of our run here, let's get it
on rode. Just the long running, ongoing, an intense debate
(21:46):
over with soda reigns supreme. And when you ask that question,
everybody knows immediately coke or pepsi. You do the taste tests,
the challenge all that well, perhaps Pepsi doesn't even belong
in this conversation anymore. According to annual rankings of the
best selling sodas in the.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
US, it's no surprise the Coca Cola is number one
on the list and has been the perennial top soda
in the US for I don't even know how long,
probably since the time they started doing this, right, But
naturally you would assume that pepsi is number two on
the list. But guess what, it's not number two. And
now it's not even number three. Pepsi was passed last
(22:22):
year for the number two spot by Wow. This was
my childhood favorite, doctor Pepa, as you like to say,
doctor Pepper.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
And now this year pepsi has dropped even further. It's
been surpassed for the number three spot by.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
Sprite's pepsis number four.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
I would never have guessed that there is no.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
Coke versus pepsi.
Speaker 4 (22:41):
Wow, there's coke versus doctor Pepa. There coke versus doctor Pea.
There's pepsi versus nobody. Pepsi now sits at number four
on the list. Here's the list in order, Coke, doctor Pepper, Sprite, Pepsi,
Diet Coke at number five. Then mountain do cox. I
shouldn't have said it like that could not be.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
It's just with the extra caffeination and sugar that we
all know is in that beautifully bright yellow drink.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
I apologize. I editorialized a little bit there on mountain dew,
then coke zero, and then diet pepsi and Fanta, and
then Canadian dry ginger Ale is number ten on the list.
I get good stuff.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Diet coke would be my number one, like without a doubt.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
And you know I don't drink popa, Yes, I drink
the other stuff. The survey also show the most popular
types of drinks, so sodas aren't even the number one drink.
Our number one drink here in the US bottled water.
I guess that makes sense.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
That's awesome number.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
One, then carbonated soda, and then after that number three,
juices number four, Ready to drink tea, and then sports
drinks five, and energy.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Drinks are six, and then ready to drink coffee is
only seven.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
I don't what is ready to drink coffee.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
That's stuff we have in the refrigerator right now, that stuff.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Right, oh yeah, maybe yes, I have some ice coffee. Yes,
that makes sense.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Okay, all right, Well, at least my nice takeaway is
that more Americans are drinking bottle. That's good to know.
All right, we'd like to leave you today with something
to think about as you go about your day. Here
is your quote of the day.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
Everybody in the morning, Instead of saying to yourself, I
got to wake up, say I get to wake up?
That quote, uh Robes, you tracked down today from miss Erica.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
Yes, I'm amazing singer and songwriter. But I just thought
that was so cool. I was trying to everyone.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Might need a little extra motivation today.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
It's, you know, the day after the long holiday weekend,
and if you were lucky enough not to work, you
might be.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
Going, oh my alarm.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
Oh And I just thought this was such a nice
way to turn it around when you feel yourself saying
something like.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
I gotta wake up, say I get to wake up.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
And with that, we hope that gets your Tuesday jump started. Everybody,
thanks for running with us.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
I'm Amy Robots and I'm TJ.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
Holmes.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
We will see you back on the run tomorrow.
Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast. Good
morning everyone, It's Tuesday, May twenty seventh, or back to
work day for a lot of you out there.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Welcome to Morning Run.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
I'm Amy Robots and I'm TJ. Holmes and on the
Tuesday Morning Run. This morning, a mini van mows down
a crowd of people who had gathered for a victory
celebration injuring fifty.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
The French president is trying to explain that shove now
seen around the world. Cameras catching his wife apparently hitting
him in the face as the door to their plane
opens in front of waiting members of the media.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Also rip to a legendary lawmaker, longtime New York Congressman
Charlie Rangel, has died at the age of ninety four.
Also this morning, three more escaped inmates from that New
Orleans jail break have been captured.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Two to go, and the third week of the Sewan
did Heycomb's trial resumes today after taking a break for
the Memorial Day holiday. Plus, singer Billy Joel announces he's
canceling the rest of his tour for the summer as
he recovers from a brain condition.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Also this morning, a man decides to go for a
sixty mile swim in shark infested waters for Memorial Day,
and not just any shark infested waters, the home of Jaws. Also,
j Lo turns the American Music Awards into a kissing
booth last night, and our opening performance wasn't the only
shocker of the evening.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Plus a big congratulations to singer Demi Levado who got
married over the weekend. And the age old question coke
or pepsi? Apparently it isn't even a question anymore? Is
pepsi fizzling out?
Speaker 3 (01:40):
But I'm bomb? Okay? See, I thought it was solid.
You didn't have to do the but dumb bomb. We
embraced that. You were embracing the joke, the bad, bad joke.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
You just told me it was just punny, punny joke.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
I just told Buddy, embraced it. It's all good. But
we will get into that in just a little bit.
We have to start through this morning the run over
in Liverpool, England, where a fifty three year old British
man has been arrested for driving his vehicle into a
crowd that was celebrating their football team's Premier League victory.
He injured. Nearly fifty people, including four children. Twenty seven
(02:13):
folks had to go to the hospital.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
According to officials, three adults and one child actually had
to be pulled from underneath the suspect's vehicle. Police have
not given a motive for the attack, but they did
say it was not an act of terrorism. British Prime
Minister Keir Starmer posted this on social media. The scenes
in Liverpool are appalling. My thoughts are with all those
(02:35):
injured or affected. And when you see the images and
even the video of the aftermath of what happened, it's
remarkable no one died, so that is at least for now.
I believe four people who are considered seriously injured. But
again no casualties, thankfully, but so many injuries.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
It wasn't a high rate of speed I suppose as
he was going through We saw the scene of course
New Years in New Orleans, where that person clearly had
intent as they were mowing through the crowd. This one
was going slower. They say no terrorism. That at least
you breathe a sigh of relief. But what was going
on was their medical emergency? What was the problem in
the car?
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Yeah, they still have to figure it out. They say
they are doing.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
You know, they're going to be interviewing this man and
obviously going through the scene. But right now they have
not given any indication as to how or why this happened.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
And you've been looking at this a little more than
I have this morning, also not saying whether or not
at all if it was an intentional act. Correct, right, correct,
All right, we will continue our run here this morning.
Next leg takes us to Vietnam, where there's been a
geoplanetary catastrophe. That's how French President Emmanuel Macaron is sarcastically
describing a private moment between him and his wife that
(03:44):
the whole world saw and robe the whole world is
talking and debating about this one.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Yeah, this is tough. So here's what happened.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Macrone had just landed in Vietnam and was about to
do that customary presidential walk down the steps from his plane.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Well, here's the problem.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
When the plane door opens, you see Macron standing inside
the plane and talking to someone who's off to the side.
A moment later, you then see his wife's hands come
into frame and shove Macron in the face.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Yes, Brigitte, his wife pushes him in the face. She
uses both hands. It looks like at least one hand
caught him clearly on the face and his head. Jerk's back. Now. Macrone,
realizing that the door had opened and that he was
probably on camera, quickly gave a quick smile after he
was shoved and scuttled out of frame. It looked like
a to be honest with you, looked like a little
kid who had just got caught doing something.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
He had a shocked look on his face.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Initially, yes he did. Now moments after that happened. Yes,
the two did fully emerge in front of cameras and
they walk down those steps together.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Notably though they were not holding hands TJ people have
pointed that out, so perhaps you know, she wasn't too.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Happy with him, or vice versa. The quick video quickly
went viral.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
In fact, it's been slow mode and paused and zoomed
in on if you want to take a look at it.
It was in all the papers back in France. That's
all they could talk about. Did the French president just
get smacked by his wife in the middle of a
domestic dispute that was caught on camera. That is the question.
But the answer, according to the French president is no.
He came out later and said they were just playing around.
(05:20):
Here's what he said, and we'll quote him here. We
are bickering. I don't know how much that's playful, but
we are bickering and joking with my wife, and a
video becomes a sort of geoplanetary catastrophe.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
It wasn't just him that was on camera. He made
some comments to reporters, but his office put an official
statements saying, quote, it was a moment where the president
and his wife were decompressing one last time before the
start of the trip by horsing around. Would you let
me get through this? In quote. They went on to
call this a moment of complicity, meaning that conspiracy theorists
now have some ammunition. Two issues and one raw. You're snickering.
(05:57):
Bickering got me and de compressing got me as two
words that make me scratch my head to go in.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
They don't go They don't pair well with joking and
horsing around. There is a very different sentiment to bickering
and to decompressing. That doesn't sound like a positive thing.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Yet, when you're saying.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
You're joking and horsing around, that seems playful and fun.
I don't think there was anything playful or.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Fun about what we saw.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
I don't know if something got lost in translation with
from French to English. Is bickering actually the right word?
That would it mean? Maybe? I'm only saying maybe, But
when you see the shove there is I'm sorry. This
is not a matter of being subjective. He was shoved
pretty significantly to his head and he jerked back. Whether
they were playing around, couples do it, brothers and sisters
(06:44):
do it? I mean, it happens, I don't know, But
looking at it, it looked like a serious shove to
the head.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
It looked like she was angry at him, and they were,
in fact, yes, bickering, and she went she took it
too far and it got caught on camera.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
If that's the case, and hey, what do you do
with that? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (07:01):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
I mean, I just think this is one of those
moments where, yes, being a little bit more transparent might
go a long way. Know what, because we all know
what we saw, So to tell us what we saw
was something different than what we saw, that's the problem.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Only reason we're still talking about, yeah, is because of that.
You're right, all right.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Next up on the run the passing of a Congressional
legend to tell you about former US Congressman from Harlem,
New York, Charles we know alm Ass. Charlie Wrangele has
died at the age of ninety four.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Yeah. Congressman wrangle was the founding member of the Congressional
Black Caucus and a Korean War vet. Was awarded both
the Purple Heart and Bronze Star for his service. He
served in Congress for forty seven years.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Yeah, you know, I didn't know that. I didn't know
he had the Bronze Star and the Purple Heart.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
That was cool to hear.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
He began his congressional career back in nineteen seventy one
and over the next four decades. Yeah, he made quite
a name for himself. He was the dean of the
newer Congressional Delegation and the first African American to chair
the Powerful Ways and Means Committee. He ultimately stepped down
from that committee back in twenty after he was censured
by the House for ethics violations.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
He continued to serve in Congress over the next seven
years until his retirement in twenty seventeen. His family confirmed
his passing saying he died at a hospital here in
New York. His death follows the death of the love
of his life, Alma, who also passed away at the
age of ninety four last October. They met at the
legendary so War Ballroom in Harlem back in the nineteen fifties.
(08:23):
And yes, he did have that stain on his resume
with those ethics violations, but going back to his youth
and in his military record, this man served. I was
just decades and decades and decades.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
In this country exactly. He was of service. And I
loved when I read that about his wife. I had
to put that in because I think so often we
focus on someone's career and their accomplishments. But that sounded
to me like one of the most beautiful parts of
his life was the love story he had with his wife.
And they do leave behind two children. And it's funny,
I said, several grandchildren.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
There must be too many to count. I don't know.
That was my takeaway from that.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
They didn't want to leave anyone.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Yeah, that's right, all right.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Next up on the run, we're going to head to
New Orleans, where police have recaptured three more escaped inmates.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Bringing the total to eight.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Count two still on the run, and two of the
recaptured inmates were actually found more than three hundred miles
away in Houston, Texas, after police say they were forwarded
a collateral lead. The other inmate was found in Baton Rouge.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
So you know by now, ten inmates got out of
the jail. This was eleven days ago now. They ripped
a toilet off the wall, climbed through the hole behind it,
and got out of there. At least nine people have
been arrested and charged in connection with helping the inmates
in one way, form or fashion, either during or after
their escape, including the jail maintenance worker who police say
(09:42):
turned off the water to the toilet, which allowed the
inmates to rip that toilet off the wall and then
get away in a hole. The inmate, of course, the
maintenance worker, of course, Ropes was just doing his job.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Oh of course he was just you know, there was
an overflowing toilet in a nearby cell. It just was coincidence,
a little bigkuinkidink, all right. Jail surveillance video shows the
inmates escaping around one am on May sixteenth, but jail
officials weren't aware they were missing until more than seven
hours later. A US Marshall described the two men who
were made on the loose as extremely dangerous. That's an
(10:13):
upgrade from what we heard before, and added that they
could be quote unquote anywhere.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Previously, they kept saying that they seemed to be all
in the New Orleans and area and staying in the area,
maybe trying to get out, and guess some of them did.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
They got out and yeah, pretty far away.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
All right, we will continue our run now. The next
leg brings us back here to Manhattan, where the Diddy
trial will resume after taking a break for the long
holiday weekend, and as much of the Salatia's back and
forth in the headlines, anytime there is a moment of
levity in court, like to bring it to you. But
the judge was telling the jurors, of course they're not sequestered,
but don't talk to anybody about the trial. He told them, instead,
(10:50):
watch the Knicks avenge their loss. So he gave them
those instructions.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
And sure enough they did, which was kind of amazing.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Maybe the judge could make more requirements of the jury
to do that, maybe even for this evening with the
next play again, anyway. This is the third full week
of the trial. Testimonies expected to continue this morning with
Sean Combe's former assistant taking the stand.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
The prosecution has called.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Sixteen witnesses so far and contends, hey, they're running right
on time. They expect to wrap up their case by
the fourth of July, but then, of course the defense
will take on their side of things.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
All right, we will continue our run here with news
about Billy Joel. He has canceled his tour for the
rest of the summer after announcing he has a brain condition.
The condition is called normal pressure hydrocephalis and is treatable,
but Joel says he's suffering with hearing, vision and balance
issues that are being made worse by the performing.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
So he says, yeah, his doctors have asked him to
take it easy, to focus on his physical therapy so
he can return to the stage one day soon. That's
what we got in terms of timing. Joel posted to
his fans on social media that he is sincerely sorry
to disappoint our audience and thanks them for understanding. Both
Joel's current wife and his ex wife, Christy Brinkley, all
took to social media supporting the piano man and thanking
(12:05):
fans for the outpouring of love and well wishes that
they have been sending Joel's way.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Yeah, I haven't done a deep dive on this condition,
but they speak as if he can recover from it
and possibly perform.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Yes, there was a surgery you have to have done.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
It's basically about pressure in the back of your brain
that builds and really affects your ability to Yeah, if
you can't see well, if you can't hear well, if
you if you can't balance well, you should not be
up on stage. So he finally had to pull back
from that. But man, I was looking for tickets for
Annalis because he is one of her favorites. And I
actually saw he was coming to City Field. I got excited,
(12:39):
and now they've canceled.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
All of it. So we'll wait for his return and
hope for the best.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
We me do I Madison Square Garden, it seems like
and he sells out like just ten shows.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Yes, they and it speaks to his unbelievable draw that
a nineteen year old girl is begging her mom to
take her to the Billy Joel concert. And I would
love to go because he was one of my favorites
coming up. So yes, we hope he recovers fully and
is back on stage soon.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
All right, we'll stay with us here on this Tuesday morning.
Ron When we come back, a man decides to take
a sixty mile swim in the waters where Jaws lives.
Also coming up the American Music Awards last night, and
at the top of the show, you'll get a kiss.
You'll get a kiss. You'll get a kiss. That's from
j Lo. Also coke or pepsi? Pepsi ain't even in
(13:24):
this conversation anymore. The next leg of our run maybe
is a swim. A swim around Martha's vineyard. Yes, that
is where a fifty five year old man became the
first person ever to swim around the Massachusetts Island. He's
(13:45):
an endurance athlete by the name of Lewis Pugh. He
finished the sixty plus mile swim took him twelve days,
finished on Memorial Day, and he had actually Ropes a
mission in mind.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Yeah, he said he wanted to raise awareness about the
plight of sharks all time with the movie Jaws fiftieth
anniversary that happens next month. Can you believe it came
out June twentieth nineteen seventy five. Well Pugh began his
swim at the Edgartown Lighthouse, which is the town where
the film was originated from. Edgerton was depicted as Amity Island.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
But get this.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
He had to have safety personnel in a boat next
to him with a shark shield device.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
Okay, you're gonna have to help me with this. The
device created a low intensity electric field in the water
to keep sharks away from pew without harming the sharks.
Before he jumped in, he said, Jaws was a film
about sharks attacking humans, and for fifty years we have
been attacking sharks. It's madness. We need to respect them.
Now if he's raising an issue about the plight of sharks,
(14:48):
and they're not our enemy and they're are friends. But
I'm going to swim around with the device to make
sure these sharks don't hurt me.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
He added, I'm not saying that it's safe to swim
with sharks. I'm not saying that it's safe to do
what I'm doing. He actually said that, so it's kind
of interesting. But he wants people not to look at
them as villains.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
So don't jump in the water with a device to
protect you from.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
Them, exactly.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
I thought when I saw that detail was kind of
buried in some of the stories, like, wait, this is
actually fairly significant. He actually had to do what he
did with the device to keep the sharks away from him,
which to me kind of disproves the point he's trying
to make.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
Okay, we're laughing about this a little. And obviously you
should not be in the water with a great white shark.
Obviously you should.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
And by the way, you know that just like, was
it a week or two ago they had the first
sighting of They always have great whites in this area,
but this one was a mammoth.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
I showed you the picture. I said, look at the
photo that they just took.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
Look, we respect what this guy just did and to
be able to do in sixty miles and the whole point.
And I wouldn't have the nerve to get in there
even with that device. But it's it's kind of counter
into it if and it's kind of yes, it's not hypocritical,
but it's it's.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
A little ironic. Let's just go with ironic.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Okay. Still, the water was around forty seven degrees for
his swim. He only wore shorts and goggles. He was
didn't have some big protective suit that is coal, So
I give him credit for that. And that was a
northeaster so several dates.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
Yeah, you remember that it was freezing cold outside of
the water, all right, he said, this is pretty remarkable.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
This was the most difficult swim of his career.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
And this is a guy who became the first athlete
to swim across the North Pole and has completed a
long distance swim in every single one of the world's oceans. Pugh, yes,
hopes his swim will change the perception that sharks urvilliance. However,
we have just laughed our way through that. Sorry, no,
but this is actually he points us out, and this
is something for shark level, sorry, shark lovers and animal
(16:39):
lovers around the world to recognize. According to the American
Association for the Advancement of Science, two hundred and seventy
four thousand sharks are killed in the world every day.
I can't get my head around that. That means one
hundred million sharks are killed every year.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
That is certainly sad.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
They have used that statistic of her that absolutely for
years and years and years, and no sharks overwhelmingly aren't
killing and eating people year and year out. The numbers
you can see around the world are in the single
digits and sometimes under five. Year after year. We get that.
And yes, it's important to make the point he's making.
And maybe that detail we highlight. It was supposed to.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Be buried, right, but I'm sorry I had to bring
it up.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
It's important note to make. We will continue our run now,
we'll get out of the water and we will head
to the desert. In particular, we're gonna head to Vegas
where j Lo kissed a girl and a boy on
stage of the American Music Awards last night. Yeah, that
is how the show started. The fifty first annual AMAS
took place at the Fountain Blue and Las Vegas, with
Jennifer Lopez serving as hosts, and she.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Opened the show with a signature high octane j low
performance of a medley of nominated songs.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
But she set the.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Place and the Internet on fire when during one portion
of the performance she locked lips with one of her
male backup dancers and then immediately turned to kiss a
female dancer. After j Loo's lessons in liplocking, they handed
out some awards.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
Oh yeah, we got some awards to get to and
no question, Billy Eilish the biggest winner of the night.
She swept all seven categories she was nominated in, including
Artist of the Year and Album of the Year. Other
big winners Dan and Shay Favorite Country Group. This is
the fifth time they won this award, sizz A Favorite
Female Artist, Favorite Song for Saturn, Gracie Abrams, Best New.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Artists, Yes, and some of the biggest named snubs Schaffel, Roon, Shaboozie,
Sabrina Carpenter, they were all shut Al Carverenter was nominated
in six categories and you know who else was shut out.
This is a big headline Taylor Swift. For the first
time since two thousand and seven, Taylor Swift did not
win a single American Music Award. She was nominated in
(18:46):
six categories and she was beaten by Billie Eilish in
five of them.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
I put that in this snub category. But to think
that she has gone twenty straight years almost winning an
American Music award of some kind, that's pretty impressive from
Taylor Swift. You know who else walked way short handed,
but not empty handed. Kendrick Lamar shorthanded, way short handed.
He entered the night with the most nominations of nominations
of being the artist ten, but he ended up just
with one win for a favorite hip hop song. I
(19:11):
don't have to tell you.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
What it is.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
No wonder which one that was.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
But favorite hip Hop Artist and Favorite hip Hop Album
went to eminem Now this is interesting, even his collaboration
of the Year nomination with Sizza for that song Luca God.
I love that song this World. It did not win, however,
you'll be happy to know who beat them. Your other
favorite song.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
Oh wait, guy with a smile, die with a smile. Yes, okay, okay, okay.
I love that song.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
I can play that on repeat all day, all right.
Other highlights Jenna Jackson performed on TV for the first
time in seven years. She received an Icon Award, and
Rod Stewart received a Lifetime Achievement Awards. And this is
a cool award ceremony because this is about the fans
and they're voting for their favorite artists.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
Sometimes when you scratch your head and go, hey, wait
a minute, I don't agree with that, or that wasn't
the biggest hit of the year, fans are voting for
their favorite things, and this is what makes this one cool.
The Wicket soundtrack was nominated as well. Muana iiO was
competing in the same category for favorite Soundtrack. You know
what one? Neither one of those two Arcane League of
(20:16):
Legends Season two soundtrack. Huh exactly. This is an animated
show on Netflix, okay, and his second season soundtrack one.
This is a fan thing.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
The fans have spoken.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
They jumped in there and voted in there. You go. Well,
let's talk about some wedding bells next. On this Run
with Dimmi Lovato, thirty two year old singer Tied the
Knot with singer songwriter thirty four year old Jordan Jutes
Loots on Sunday. The two met working on Levato's latest album,
which was in twenty twenty two. Beningay since December of
twenty twenty three.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
And I love what Jutes had to say before the wedding,
telling People magazine this about their long engagement. I just
had to include this. Indulge me here for a bit,
he said. I feel like a lot of weddings can
be stressful and very quick, and so we're on it,
but we're also taking our time and we're also just
enjoying being engaged. We're not trying to skip engagement to
get right to the wedding. We're basking in it and
(21:07):
soaking it up. Will be married forever. We just want
to enjoy every step. I love that we see so
many people rushing. They just want the immediacy of like,
now we're married, and it's like about the wedding. I
love what he said that it was about enjoying the
ride and knowing that it's gonna last forever, so.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
There's no rush.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
It's kind of cool to be engaged. Yeah, take a moment,
take a beat, and everybody's when you're together, They say,
when you're gonna get engaged, when you engage, when is
the wedding? Can we take a beat and let me
enjoy what's taking place? So good for him. I don't
know this, young fellow, but I like what he said.
There last leg of our run here, let's get it
on rode. Just the long running, ongoing, an intense debate
(21:46):
over with soda reigns supreme. And when you ask that question,
everybody knows immediately coke or pepsi. You do the taste tests,
the challenge all that well, perhaps Pepsi doesn't even belong
in this conversation anymore. According to annual rankings of the
best selling sodas in the.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
US, it's no surprise the Coca Cola is number one
on the list and has been the perennial top soda
in the US for I don't even know how long,
probably since the time they started doing this, right, But
naturally you would assume that pepsi is number two on
the list. But guess what, it's not number two. And
now it's not even number three. Pepsi was passed last
(22:22):
year for the number two spot by Wow. This was
my childhood favorite, doctor Pepa, as you like to say,
doctor Pepper.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
And now this year pepsi has dropped even further. It's
been surpassed for the number three spot by.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
Sprite's pepsis number four.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
I would never have guessed that there is no.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
Coke versus pepsi.
Speaker 4 (22:41):
Wow, there's coke versus doctor Pepa. There coke versus doctor Pea.
There's pepsi versus nobody. Pepsi now sits at number four
on the list. Here's the list in order, Coke, doctor Pepper, Sprite, Pepsi,
Diet Coke at number five. Then mountain do cox. I
shouldn't have said it like that could not be.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
It's just with the extra caffeination and sugar that we
all know is in that beautifully bright yellow drink.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
I apologize. I editorialized a little bit there on mountain dew,
then coke zero, and then diet pepsi and Fanta, and
then Canadian dry ginger Ale is number ten on the list.
I get good stuff.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Diet coke would be my number one, like without a doubt.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
And you know I don't drink popa, Yes, I drink
the other stuff. The survey also show the most popular
types of drinks, so sodas aren't even the number one drink.
Our number one drink here in the US bottled water.
I guess that makes sense.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
That's awesome number.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
One, then carbonated soda, and then after that number three,
juices number four, Ready to drink tea, and then sports
drinks five, and energy.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Drinks are six, and then ready to drink coffee is
only seven.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
I don't what is ready to drink coffee.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
That's stuff we have in the refrigerator right now, that stuff.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Right, oh yeah, maybe yes, I have some ice coffee. Yes,
that makes sense.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Okay, all right, Well, at least my nice takeaway is
that more Americans are drinking bottle. That's good to know.
All right, we'd like to leave you today with something
to think about as you go about your day. Here
is your quote of the day.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
Everybody in the morning, Instead of saying to yourself, I
got to wake up, say I get to wake up?
That quote, uh Robes, you tracked down today from miss Erica.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
Yes, I'm amazing singer and songwriter. But I just thought
that was so cool. I was trying to everyone.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Might need a little extra motivation today.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
It's, you know, the day after the long holiday weekend,
and if you were lucky enough not to work, you
might be.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
Going, oh my alarm.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
Oh And I just thought this was such a nice
way to turn it around when you feel yourself saying
something like.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
I gotta wake up, say I get to wake up.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
And with that, we hope that gets your Tuesday jump started. Everybody,
thanks for running with us.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
I'm Amy Robots and I'm TJ.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
Holmes.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
We will see you back on the run tomorrow.
