Speaker 1 (00:01):
Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast. Good
morning everyone, and welcome to Morning Run. It's Monday, August
twenty fifth.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
I'm Amy Robots and I'm TJ Holme. What was your
sleeps for eighty three?
Speaker 3 (00:14):
Look at you? I know right? She is back and
raring to go. Everybody, Yes, the robot goes back with us.
What is your number roads that power ball has to
get up to? What before you actually buy a ticket?
Speaker 1 (00:27):
I think I've only bought a ticket once in my life,
and that was when it was like record setting?
Speaker 3 (00:32):
Was it?
Speaker 2 (00:32):
You could be a billionaire? I believe.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Yeah, I think they have. We've gotten spoilt with the
big numbers and then we don't take interest until the
numbers get big enough. Now they might be big enough.
We're up to seven hundred and fifty million, this might
be big enough that we all need to get involved.
As another drawing tonight.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
I always have the intention to buy one, and then
I always forget to buy one.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
But then it becomes kind of a communal thing everybody's
excited about and say, yeah, go out, but yes, it's
it's worth paying attention to. Now. Also, we told you
about this last week. This Kobe MJ a sports card
memorabilia card with both of them on it. Well, it
did sell, and it was for a record. It's now
the second most valuable sports anything ever sold.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
So even if I won the jackpot, could I still
have afforded it?
Speaker 3 (01:17):
You could have?
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Okay, all right, but then and only then, well.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
You could afford it several of them. But we'll get
into both of those. Also, Congress the Netflix at the
box office. Netflix Streaming Giant just pulled off a first
win for themselves at the box office on a movie.
Robes has been out for months.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
I'm gonna need some further explanations on that one.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
We will explain. And then he's not the first name
you think of right when you think of Sopranos, but
as soon as you see his face and you know
his character, but a beloved character from The Sopranos, Jerry
Adler has died and Robes didn't know about his background.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
His background story is remarkable. And for anyone who feels
like I'm too old to do this or it's too
late to try this, this man in his death, as
we learn about his storied career, is going to inspire you.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
I assure you Oh.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
That is very cool. Also, remember, folks on your phone
right now, that Apple podcast app top right corner of
our screen page. Little button says follow Just click that
you can always get our updates. Also, we'll be talking
about this morning, the fact that the Guard National Guard
now packing on the streets of DC. Also, somebody keeps
swatting colleges. Also that National Guard. Yeah, we talked about
(02:25):
them in DC. Where they could be showing up in
a city near you if you live in Chicago, Baltimore,
or New York. Also, an outspoken Epstein victim has more
to say, even though she's passed away. A brushfire is
threatening the grapes in Napa and roads. A Little League
World Series. Always rooting for the US side, but it's
hard to root against kids from anywhere. It didn't work
(02:49):
out for the US yesterday. US side, But just a
very cool cute story. Always the Little League World Series
wrapped up.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Can't wait for that. We'll get to all of that
in just a moment. But we are going to begin
our run on this this Monday in our nation's capital.
The National Guard is patrolling the streets of DC. Well
now they're going to be armed, but it's unclear just
how many of them will be carrying weapons.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
And it's unclear exactly why this escalation is necessary. The
military said some members will be carrying pistols or even
rifles on some assignments, and they be allowed to use
them only for self protection and quote as a last
resort in response to an imminent threat of death or
serious bodily harm.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Yeah, and again there's no word on what prompted the change.
The escalation for the National Guard, which was ordered to
DC as part of President Trump's crackdown on crime in
the district. The Guard was supposed to be there to
show a presence and support local law enforcement, but appears
that has now been elevated.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Yes, and I might not just be DC, because the
President has now put other cities on notice. National Guard
could be coming to your streets as well. Those cities Chicago, Baltimore,
and New York.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
In the president's words, quote, I think Chicago will be
our next, then will help New York, to which the
mayor of Chicago responded it would be unlawful and uncalled
for to send the Guard to his city, and then
he pointed to stats that show crime on the decline
in his city.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
And also in an ongoing back and forth with the
Maryland Governor Wes Moore, President Trump threatened to send troops
into Baltimore after Moore, in Trump's words, invited him to
Baltimore in a nasty and provocative tone.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Do we know what that was though? What were the words?
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Well, he just said he should come to our street.
He said it in a speech. Yes, he may be sandastic.
I don't think it was sarcastic, but it was still
kind of forceful. It was almost daring him to come
to the city. And he didn't like the tone. I
just hate that. Okay, I'm going to send the National
Guard in because I don't like your tone, young man.
That's this is where we are in our politics now.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Yeah, It's been that way for a while. Unfortunate, and
I don't think it's going away anytime soon.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Next up on the Run.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
For the second time in just four days, students were
sent running. SWAT teams responded to a report of an
active shooter on campus, and once again police say it
was all a hope.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
This has got to stop. This call came in an
eleven Sunday morning about an active shooter at a dorm
on campus. There at Villanova and police swept the area
and about forty minutes later we're able to give the
all clear. Now, this happened to Villanova on Thursday as well,
and that happened during a new student orientation.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
The university president at the time called that a cruel hoax.
No arrests have been made. And then yesterday police got
a call about an active shooter at the library on
the campus of the University of South Carolina, and that
as well turned out to be false. This is disgusting, honestly,
this actually makes me feel physically ill. Who would do
this and why? And it's just such a threat to
(05:58):
response teams in general, just to not know, to feel
that fear and to misuse resources like that.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
And we know we've been on campuses after shootings before,
and just any college campus when there is a crime
and then an unsolved crime, it just spooks a campus
community of young people. Who is among us? Are we
being targeted? Are we? And to think that somebody is
I wonder if there's somebody sitting in a room thinking
this is funny, they're sitting around calling it in he he.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
I really hope they can.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
I mean, it seems like in this day and age,
the way we are able to track people and things
that they'll be able to find out who the culprit
is and use the appropriate justice necessary to make this
stop a right.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Continuing on our run now with Epstein accuser Virginia Roberts Giuffrey.
She completed a memoir before her death last spring, and
it's now set to be released at the end of October.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Nobody's Girl, a Memoir of Surviving abuse and Fighting for Justice,
is described by publisher Penguin Random House as an unsparing
and definitive account of Geffrey's time with Jeffrey Epstein and
Gallaine Maxwell, who trafficked her and others to numerous prominent men.
The description goes on to say that the pages of
Nobody's Girl preserve her voice and her legacy forever.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Included in the book a book's announcement was an email
from Jeufrey that she wrote just weeks before she died
by suicide. It reads, in the event of my passing,
I would like to ensure that Nobody's Girl is still released.
I believe it has the potential to impact many lives
and foster necessary discussions about these grave Injustices.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Geffrey has maintained she was a teenager working as a
spa attended at mar A Lago when Ghlaine Maxwell approached
her and hired her as a personal messuse for Jeffrey Epstein,
and then was flown around the world for sexual encounters
with men, starting at the age of seventeen. She is
detailed everything that she says happened to her, and so
there will be a lot of anticipation for this memoir
(07:56):
to be released. It officially will be out on October
twenty Fight.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
We continue on the run now with Broadway and Hollywood
legend Jerry Adler. Yes, we've just lost this guy. A
lot of people know him as the actor from The Sopranos,
but he has died now at the age of ninety six.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Adler was best known as Hermann Hesh Rabkin, adviser to
Tony Soprano in the hit HBO series, but his career
began behind the scenes on Broadway long before he pivoted
to acting much later in his mid sixties. I believe
his first role he was sixty five.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
That's cool, Okay, that's cool. Adler was part of fifty
three Broadway productions like My Fair Lady and Annie. He
served as either stage manager, producer, or director. In addition
to the sopranos, Adler also starred in The Good Wife,
Rescue Me, Mad About You, and had guest spots on
shows like The West Wing and broad City.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Last year, Adler published his memoir Too Funny for Words
Backstage Tales from Broadway, Television and the movies, and in
it he wrote that he's ready to go at a
moment's notice.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
He talked about how strange it was to be recognized
for his acting after spending decades working behind the scenes.
He told The New York Times in ninety two that
there was one advantage to being preserved on film, quote,
I'm immortal.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
But it was great to just read all the folks
who had worked with him as a producer. They just
said he was the kindest, funniest guy. He came from
a storied family of stage legends. His cousin actually just
was well known for her acting technique. That actually has
a school at NYU named after her. That I know,
Ava was that my daughter was a part of. So
it's cool to hear his background, but just to know
(09:36):
that he did not even begin acting again until the
age of sixty five.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
So cool, all right.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Next up on our run, we head to California, where
a wine country wildfire is now threatening life, structures, and yes,
the grapes in Napa.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Yeah, this fire is known as the Picket Fires. Started
Thursday near Calistoga's burned seven thousand acres. As of this recording,
the fire was only a lit seven percent contained. Now
a lot of people in that area are under evacuation orders.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Yeah, more than twelve hundred firefighters are now working to
contain this thing. It's moving quickly and it's threatening to
make its way from the hills down to some vineyards.
There are reports that some winery owners and residents stayed
up all night. They've been doing this, soaking their property
with hoses. Can you imagine just the amount of money
that's at stake here if that fire moves. So yes,
(10:26):
all resources are being directed towards this fire.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
But it's scary, all right.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
We continue now on the run with the milestone moment
for Netflix at the box office. This is the one
that took some explanation. You're saying, ohks, oh, yes, the
streamer Netflix has been producing and putting out award winning
movies for a while now, but they always don't put
them out for theatrical release, and they've never had one
to go to number one at the box office until now.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
And what movie is that, you ask, Well, it's an
animated movie about a K pop group that hunts demons.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Yes, yeah, all right.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
The Netflix streaming hit K Pop Demon Hunters has now
found success at the box office and estimated to have
made between eighteen to twenty million dollars this weekend, which
would be enough just for perspective here to edge out
Weapons for the number one spot.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
Yes, and that would make K Pop Demon Hunters the
first number one movie at the box office ever for Netflix.
And the movie has actually been out for months. It
debuted on Netflix in June and has become one of
the most popular movies, the most watched in the history
of Netflix. Now it's not just that's not really the
(11:39):
reason Robes they put it out. It's because the music.
It's about a K pop group that saves the world
through its music by killing demons. So the music has
been so good we've done stories on it, setting records.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
On streaming trucks Spotify right.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
Setting records. So the movie they released is a single
long movie. So people have been showing up in droves
dressing up as a kid. Isn't that cute?
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Have you heard any of the music?
Speaker 3 (12:06):
Not one song?
Speaker 2 (12:07):
It's funny.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Nikki, my best friend she sent me a said you
got to run to this and I laughed. I did
not click on it yet, but it was one of
their hits apparently, so I'll have to try it on
the next round.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
But it works. It was a good running song.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
I haven't clicked on it. I'm going to do it.
I'm going to do it on the run tomorrow. All right,
we'll stay with.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
Us here, folks. What you need to be doing today
is to go buying youse up a Powerball ticket. You
still got time, still got a chance to get seven
hundred and fifty million tonight. Also, a streak was broken
at the Little League World Series yesterday, and it's not
good for the US on now. And a card, a
simple card, a sports card, why they did it just
sell for a record twelve point nine million dollars.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
Welcome back to this Monday morning run and next up
on the run on it's getting serious people, Maybe it's
time to get a Powerball ticket. The drawing tonight has
jumped to seven hundred and fifty million dollars after no
one won Saturday's drawing.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
Yeah, nobody's won one of these since May thirty. First
we go back that far. These drawings have been going on.
They do two a week, so that gives you an idea.
At seven hundred and fifty million, we're still not quite
going to be in record lottery territory just yet. Do
you remember that two point zero four billion in twenty
twenty two and it was just a single ticket to
somebody out in California that won that. So if you
(13:33):
win the seven hundred and fifty million, sure you could
take the seven fifty that's over thirty years, but no,
your cash payout option is three hundred and thirty eight
point six million, not back.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
You know, I remember the last time we bought a
Powerball ticket? Where did it go to Christmas Eve or Chris?
We bought some, the whole family, remember, and we opened
because it was something right around the drawing and we
were want well. Of course we didn't win, thus the podcast,
but no, that was last time.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
I remember. We bought it for everybody to open up.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
How high we had to have gotten high?
Speaker 1 (14:04):
It was high enough where it was exciting and then
sad when we didn't win.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
All Right, it was not a Christmas miracle for us.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Next up on the run, A streak was broken at
the Little League World Series yesterday, and it wasn't a
good one for the United States. For the first time
since twenty seventeen, an international team has taken the title.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
Yeah, congrats to the kids from Chinese TYPEI who beat
the kids from Nevada seven to nothing. I was quite dominating.
This is the returns at the top for the Chinese
TYPEY team, which has actually won more title than any
other international team. But this is their first title since
ninety six.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
We had a bit of a drought there, thirty year
drought almost.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
It was so that's why they were so excited yesterday
to see this. But the kid the picture was so dominant.
He had a no hitter going into the final innings.
But I put the perspective there. He throws eighty eighty
two miles an hour. Now to us, they keep up
with Major League Baseball, they throw ninety five. This is
the equivalent of one hundred and seven mile per hour
(15:03):
fastball in the Majors. Because of the shortened distance. They
have a shorter distance from the to the home plate
in Little League?
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Got it?
Speaker 3 (15:11):
So you got forty six feet. This thing is coming
at you. They said it's he's unhittable almost.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Oh wow.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
All right, well, congratulations to them and the final leg
of our run. We have a new record for the
most expensive sports collectible card ever sold at auction. Okay,
this card's official name is a doozy.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
I'm going to read it for you.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
It's called the two thousand and seven two thousand and
eight Upper Deck Exquisite Collection Dual Logo Man Autographs Jordan
and Bryant Card.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
You've nailed it, and that is the exact description. I
will put it another way. It's a card signed by
two of the absolute all time greats, Jordan and Kobe.
This thing has an NBA logo patch from their jerseys
attached to it and their autographs. This is something that
can never be replicated, of course, because we've lost one
(16:01):
of the two legends. But it's actually referred to Robes
as the holy Grail of collectibles. Why are you laughing?
There are sports folks out there really getting upset with
you need to stop this now. This was expected to
fetch around six million dollars at auction, and it ended
up doubling that and sold for a new record twelve
point nine million.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
The seller and the buyer are anonymous at this point,
and FYI, the previous record for a sports card was
twelve point six million dollars. That was for a Mickey
Mantle card. The Jordan Kobe card is now also the
second most expensive sports collectible ever, after Babe Ruts nineteen
thirty two World Series uniform, which sold for twenty four
point two million dollars just last year.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
What do people do? They just display this in their hallway.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
It's yeah, I would. It's art, it's history, it's special,
it's I mean just some of the most historic, some
of the things you can remember most in your life
was something that was happening during a sporting event. All
have them. Where there's Georgia football, right if the game
you were at when they won a national championship, and
down the road some jersey signed by some acts.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
So cute you were trying to relate it back to
me so I could get it, But now you do
not really.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
Okay, Hi, folks will deal with this later before right now,
before you go about your Monday. Something we'd like for
you to consider it is our quote of the day.
This needs to be a good one because you kind
of kind of annoyed me on the sports story there.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
Okay, well this is actually gonna speak directly to you.
Take charge of your happiness and you will never be disappointed.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Fine, the power is from within.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
Oh God, I know I need to be without you
for a few minutes to find that power.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
Ah. Yeah, there was no one who like this is
one of those quotes that was disputed. There were so
many people who have said different versions of this, but
I thought it was a great way to take charge
of your monday because you take charge of your happiness
and you will never be disappointed.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
I love that right and to that point on happiness
and being disappointed, we want you to help us help
One of our readers to our Yahoo column. She wrote
in because she has an issue with her parents. She
wrote in that her parents don't know she's in a relationship.
She's afraid her family won't approve, so she hasn't told
them she's in a relationship. She's thinking maybe she should
(18:17):
wait until they're engaged. You can check out the advice
that Robes and I gave her on our column on
Yahoo dot com in the life section. It'll be right there,
and then later today we'll have a podcast in which
we kind of go at it about what we recommended
for this young lady and romees. I think it's we
more agreed than disagreed on this one.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
I think, yes, I agree.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
But what we also love is once you all read
the column, we'd love for you to put comments in
and what you think they should do, and go ahead
and rate us on our own advice. We'll take that
as well.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
Don't rate me, I don't want, don't know, rate her
if you want.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
I don't want. Later in the week we'll go through
all of your comments.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
It's always fun to read what you have to say
and what you think this woman should do. So let
us know, and please again, check out the column. I
think it drops around eight am Eastern time, so by
the time y'all hear this, it should be up and running.
And thank you for running with us.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
Everyone.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
I'm Amy Robots and I'm TJ. Holmes. We'll see y'all soon.
Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast. Good
morning everyone, and welcome to Morning Run. It's Monday, August
twenty fifth.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
I'm Amy Robots and I'm TJ Holme. What was your
sleeps for eighty three?
Speaker 3 (00:14):
Look at you? I know right? She is back and
raring to go. Everybody, Yes, the robot goes back with us.
What is your number roads that power ball has to
get up to? What before you actually buy a ticket?
Speaker 1 (00:27):
I think I've only bought a ticket once in my life,
and that was when it was like record setting?
Speaker 3 (00:32):
Was it?
Speaker 2 (00:32):
You could be a billionaire? I believe.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Yeah, I think they have. We've gotten spoilt with the
big numbers and then we don't take interest until the
numbers get big enough. Now they might be big enough.
We're up to seven hundred and fifty million, this might
be big enough that we all need to get involved.
As another drawing tonight.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
I always have the intention to buy one, and then
I always forget to buy one.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
But then it becomes kind of a communal thing everybody's
excited about and say, yeah, go out, but yes, it's
it's worth paying attention to. Now. Also, we told you
about this last week. This Kobe MJ a sports card
memorabilia card with both of them on it. Well, it
did sell, and it was for a record. It's now
the second most valuable sports anything ever sold.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
So even if I won the jackpot, could I still
have afforded it?
Speaker 3 (01:17):
You could have?
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Okay, all right, but then and only then, well.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
You could afford it several of them. But we'll get
into both of those. Also, Congress the Netflix at the
box office. Netflix Streaming Giant just pulled off a first

Robes has been out for months.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
I'm gonna need some further explanations on that one.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
We will explain. And then he's not the first name
you think of right when you think of Sopranos, but
as soon as you see his face and you know
his character, but a beloved character from The Sopranos, Jerry
Adler has died and Robes didn't know about his background.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
His background story is remarkable. And for anyone who feels
like I'm too old to do this or it's too

Speaker 2 (02:03):
I assure you Oh.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
That is very cool. Also, remember, folks on your phone
right now, that Apple podcast app top right corner of
our screen page. Little button says follow Just click that
you can always get our updates. Also, we'll be talking
about this morning, the fact that the Guard National Guard
now packing on the streets of DC. Also, somebody keeps
swatting colleges. Also that National Guard. Yeah, we talked about
(02:25):
them in DC. Where they could be showing up in
a city near you if you live in Chicago, Baltimore,
or New York. Also, an outspoken Epstein victim has more
to say, even though she's passed away. A brushfire is
threatening the grapes in Napa and roads. A Little League
World Series. Always rooting for the US side, but it's
hard to root against kids from anywhere. It didn't work
(02:49):
out for the US yesterday. US side, But just a
very cool cute story. Always the Little League World Series
wrapped up.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Can't wait for that. We'll get to all of that
in just a moment. But we are going to begin
our run on this this Monday in our nation's capital.
The National Guard is patrolling the streets of DC. Well
now they're going to be armed, but it's unclear just
how many of them will be carrying weapons.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
And it's unclear exactly why this escalation is necessary. The
military said some members will be carrying pistols or even
rifles on some assignments, and they be allowed to use
them only for self protection and quote as a last
resort in response to an imminent threat of death or
serious bodily harm.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Yeah, and again there's no word on what prompted the change.
The escalation for the National Guard, which was ordered to

Speaker 3 (04:20):
And also in an ongoing back and forth with the
Maryland Governor Wes Moore, President Trump threatened to send troops
into Baltimore after Moore, in Trump's words, invited him to
Baltimore in a nasty and provocative tone.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Do we know what that was though? What were the words?
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Well, he just said he should come to our street.
He said it in a speech. Yes, he may be sandastic.
I don't think it was sarcastic, but it was still
kind of forceful. It was almost daring him to come
to the city. And he didn't like the tone. I
just hate that. Okay, I'm going to send the National
Guard in because I don't like your tone, young man.
That's this is where we are in our politics now.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Yeah, It's been that way for a while. Unfortunate, and
I don't think it's going away anytime soon.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Next up on the Run.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
For the second time in just four days, students were
sent running. SWAT teams responded to a report of an
active shooter on campus, and once again police say it
was all a hope.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
This has got to stop. This call came in an
eleven Sunday morning about an active shooter at a dorm
on campus. There at Villanova and police swept the area
and about forty minutes later we're able to give the
all clear. Now, this happened to Villanova on Thursday as well,
and that happened during a new student orientation.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
The university president at the time called that a cruel hoax.
No arrests have been made. And then yesterday police got
a call about an active shooter at the library on
the campus of the University of South Carolina, and that
as well turned out to be false. This is disgusting, honestly,
this actually makes me feel physically ill. Who would do
this and why? And it's just such a threat to
(05:58):
response teams in general, just to not know, to feel
that fear and to misuse resources like that.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
And we know we've been on campuses after shootings before,
and just any college campus when there is a crime
and then an unsolved crime, it just spooks a campus
community of young people. Who is among us? Are we
being targeted? Are we? And to think that somebody is
I wonder if there's somebody sitting in a room thinking
this is funny, they're sitting around calling it in he he.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
I really hope they can.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
I mean, it seems like in this day and age,
the way we are able to track people and things
that they'll be able to find out who the culprit
is and use the appropriate justice necessary to make this
stop a right.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Continuing on our run now with Epstein accuser Virginia Roberts Giuffrey.
She completed a memoir before her death last spring, and
it's now set to be released at the end of October.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Nobody's Girl, a Memoir of Surviving abuse and Fighting for Justice,
is described by publisher Penguin Random House as an unsparing
and definitive account of Geffrey's time with Jeffrey Epstein and
Gallaine Maxwell, who trafficked her and others to numerous prominent men.
The description goes on to say that the pages of
Nobody's Girl preserve her voice and her legacy forever.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Included in the book a book's announcement was an email
from Jeufrey that she wrote just weeks before she died
by suicide. It reads, in the event of my passing,
I would like to ensure that Nobody's Girl is still released.
I believe it has the potential to impact many lives
and foster necessary discussions about these grave Injustices.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Geffrey has maintained she was a teenager working as a
spa attended at mar A Lago when Ghlaine Maxwell approached
her and hired her as a personal messuse for Jeffrey Epstein,
and then was flown around the world for sexual encounters
with men, starting at the age of seventeen. She is
detailed everything that she says happened to her, and so
there will be a lot of anticipation for this memoir
(07:56):
to be released. It officially will be out on October
twenty Fight.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
We continue on the run now with Broadway and Hollywood
legend Jerry Adler. Yes, we've just lost this guy. A
lot of people know him as the actor from The Sopranos,
but he has died now at the age of ninety six.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Adler was best known as Hermann Hesh Rabkin, adviser to
Tony Soprano in the hit HBO series, but his career
began behind the scenes on Broadway long before he pivoted
to acting much later in his mid sixties. I believe
his first role he was sixty five.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
That's cool, Okay, that's cool. Adler was part of fifty
three Broadway productions like My Fair Lady and Annie. He
served as either stage manager, producer, or director. In addition
to the sopranos, Adler also starred in The Good Wife,
Rescue Me, Mad About You, and had guest spots on
shows like The West Wing and broad City.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Last year, Adler published his memoir Too Funny for Words
Backstage Tales from Broadway, Television and the movies, and in
it he wrote that he's ready to go at a
moment's notice.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
He talked about how strange it was to be recognized
for his acting after spending decades working behind the scenes.
He told The New York Times in ninety two that
there was one advantage to being preserved on film, quote,
I'm immortal.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
But it was great to just read all the folks
who had worked with him as a producer. They just
said he was the kindest, funniest guy. He came from
a storied family of stage legends. His cousin actually just
was well known for her acting technique. That actually has
a school at NYU named after her. That I know,
Ava was that my daughter was a part of. So
it's cool to hear his background, but just to know
(09:36):
that he did not even begin acting again until the
age of sixty five.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
So cool, all right.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Next up on our run, we head to California, where
a wine country wildfire is now threatening life, structures, and yes,
the grapes in Napa.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Yeah, this fire is known as the Picket Fires. Started
Thursday near Calistoga's burned seven thousand acres. As of this recording,
the fire was only a lit seven percent contained. Now
a lot of people in that area are under evacuation orders.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Yeah, more than twelve hundred firefighters are now working to
contain this thing. It's moving quickly and it's threatening to
make its way from the hills down to some vineyards.
There are reports that some winery owners and residents stayed
up all night. They've been doing this, soaking their property
with hoses. Can you imagine just the amount of money
that's at stake here if that fire moves. So yes,
(10:26):
all resources are being directed towards this fire.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
But it's scary, all right.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
We continue now on the run with the milestone moment
for Netflix at the box office. This is the one
that took some explanation. You're saying, ohks, oh, yes, the
streamer Netflix has been producing and putting out award winning
movies for a while now, but they always don't put
them out for theatrical release, and they've never had one
to go to number one at the box office until now.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
And what movie is that, you ask, Well, it's an
animated movie about a K pop group that hunts demons.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Yes, yeah, all right.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
The Netflix streaming hit K Pop Demon Hunters has now
found success at the box office and estimated to have
made between eighteen to twenty million dollars this weekend, which
would be enough just for perspective here to edge out
Weapons for the number one spot.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
Yes, and that would make K Pop Demon Hunters the
first number one movie at the box office ever for Netflix.
And the movie has actually been out for months. It
debuted on Netflix in June and has become one of
the most popular movies, the most watched in the history
of Netflix. Now it's not just that's not really the
(11:39):
reason Robes they put it out. It's because the music.
It's about a K pop group that saves the world
through its music by killing demons. So the music has
been so good we've done stories on it, setting records.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
On streaming trucks Spotify right.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
Setting records. So the movie they released is a single
long movie. So people have been showing up in droves
dressing up as a kid. Isn't that cute?
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Have you heard any of the music?
Speaker 3 (12:06):
Not one song?
Speaker 2 (12:07):
It's funny.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Nikki, my best friend she sent me a said you
got to run to this and I laughed. I did
not click on it yet, but it was one of
their hits apparently, so I'll have to try it on
the next round.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
But it works. It was a good running song.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
I haven't clicked on it. I'm going to do it.
I'm going to do it on the run tomorrow. All right,
we'll stay with.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
Us here, folks. What you need to be doing today
is to go buying youse up a Powerball ticket. You
still got time, still got a chance to get seven
hundred and fifty million tonight. Also, a streak was broken
at the Little League World Series yesterday, and it's not
good for the US on now. And a card, a
simple card, a sports card, why they did it just
sell for a record twelve point nine million dollars.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
Welcome back to this Monday morning run and next up
on the run on it's getting serious people, Maybe it's
time to get a Powerball ticket. The drawing tonight has
jumped to seven hundred and fifty million dollars after no
one won Saturday's drawing.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
Yeah, nobody's won one of these since May thirty. First
we go back that far. These drawings have been going on.
They do two a week, so that gives you an idea.
At seven hundred and fifty million, we're still not quite
going to be in record lottery territory just yet. Do
you remember that two point zero four billion in twenty
twenty two and it was just a single ticket to
somebody out in California that won that. So if you
(13:33):
win the seven hundred and fifty million, sure you could
take the seven fifty that's over thirty years, but no,
your cash payout option is three hundred and thirty eight
point six million, not back.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
You know, I remember the last time we bought a
Powerball ticket? Where did it go to Christmas Eve or Chris?
We bought some, the whole family, remember, and we opened
because it was something right around the drawing and we
were want well. Of course we didn't win, thus the podcast,
but no, that was last time.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
I remember. We bought it for everybody to open up.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
How high we had to have gotten high?
Speaker 1 (14:04):
It was high enough where it was exciting and then
sad when we didn't win.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
All Right, it was not a Christmas miracle for us.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Next up on the run, A streak was broken at
the Little League World Series yesterday, and it wasn't a
good one for the United States. For the first time
since twenty seventeen, an international team has taken the title.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
Yeah, congrats to the kids from Chinese TYPEI who beat
the kids from Nevada seven to nothing. I was quite dominating.
This is the returns at the top for the Chinese
TYPEY team, which has actually won more title than any
other international team. But this is their first title since
ninety six.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
We had a bit of a drought there, thirty year
drought almost.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
It was so that's why they were so excited yesterday
to see this. But the kid the picture was so dominant.
He had a no hitter going into the final innings.
But I put the perspective there. He throws eighty eighty
two miles an hour. Now to us, they keep up
with Major League Baseball, they throw ninety five. This is
the equivalent of one hundred and seven mile per hour
(15:03):
fastball in the Majors. Because of the shortened distance. They
have a shorter distance from the to the home plate
in Little League?
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Got it?
Speaker 3 (15:11):
So you got forty six feet. This thing is coming
at you. They said it's he's unhittable almost.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Oh wow.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
All right, well, congratulations to them and the final leg
of our run. We have a new record for the
most expensive sports collectible card ever sold at auction. Okay,
this card's official name is a doozy.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
I'm going to read it for you.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
It's called the two thousand and seven two thousand and
eight Upper Deck Exquisite Collection Dual Logo Man Autographs Jordan
and Bryant Card.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
You've nailed it, and that is the exact description. I
will put it another way. It's a card signed by
two of the absolute all time greats, Jordan and Kobe.
This thing has an NBA logo patch from their jerseys
attached to it and their autographs. This is something that
can never be replicated, of course, because we've lost one
(16:01):
of the two legends. But it's actually referred to Robes
as the holy Grail of collectibles. Why are you laughing?
There are sports folks out there really getting upset with
you need to stop this now. This was expected to
fetch around six million dollars at auction, and it ended
up doubling that and sold for a new record twelve
point nine million.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
The seller and the buyer are anonymous at this point,
and FYI, the previous record for a sports card was
twelve point six million dollars. That was for a Mickey
Mantle card. The Jordan Kobe card is now also the
second most expensive sports collectible ever, after Babe Ruts nineteen
thirty two World Series uniform, which sold for twenty four
point two million dollars just last year.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
What do people do? They just display this in their hallway.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
It's yeah, I would. It's art, it's history, it's special,
it's I mean just some of the most historic, some
of the things you can remember most in your life
was something that was happening during a sporting event. All
have them. Where there's Georgia football, right if the game
you were at when they won a national championship, and
down the road some jersey signed by some acts.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
So cute you were trying to relate it back to
me so I could get it, But now you do
not really.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
Okay, Hi, folks will deal with this later before right now,
before you go about your Monday. Something we'd like for
you to consider it is our quote of the day.
This needs to be a good one because you kind
of kind of annoyed me on the sports story there.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
Okay, well this is actually gonna speak directly to you.
Take charge of your happiness and you will never be disappointed.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Fine, the power is from within.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
Oh God, I know I need to be without you
for a few minutes to find that power.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
Ah. Yeah, there was no one who like this is
one of those quotes that was disputed. There were so
many people who have said different versions of this, but
I thought it was a great way to take charge
of your monday because you take charge of your happiness
and you will never be disappointed.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
I love that right and to that point on happiness
and being disappointed, we want you to help us help
One of our readers to our Yahoo column. She wrote
in because she has an issue with her parents. She
wrote in that her parents don't know she's in a relationship.
She's afraid her family won't approve, so she hasn't told
them she's in a relationship. She's thinking maybe she should
(18:17):
wait until they're engaged. You can check out the advice
that Robes and I gave her on our column on
Yahoo dot com in the life section. It'll be right there,
and then later today we'll have a podcast in which
we kind of go at it about what we recommended
for this young lady and romees. I think it's we
more agreed than disagreed on this one.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
I think, yes, I agree.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
But what we also love is once you all read
the column, we'd love for you to put comments in
and what you think they should do, and go ahead
and rate us on our own advice. We'll take that
as well.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
Don't rate me, I don't want, don't know, rate her
if you want.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
I don't want. Later in the week we'll go through
all of your comments.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
It's always fun to read what you have to say
and what you think this woman should do. So let
us know, and please again, check out the column. I
think it drops around eight am Eastern time, so by
the time y'all hear this, it should be up and running.
And thank you for running with us.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
Everyone.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
I'm Amy Robots and I'm TJ. Holmes. We'll see y'all soon.
