Speaker 1 (00:01):
Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast. Good
morning everyone, Thanks so much for joining us for today's
Morning Run. It's a special New Year's Eve addition. It
is Wednesday, December thirty.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
First, I'm a.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
Mee Robots and I'm TJ Holmes. Time to party ropes.
Most people don't plan to party. I am surprised a
lot of people. There's a lot of pressure on New
Year's Eve is not where's the right party? And you
feel lame if you're not in the middle of it.
You feel obligated to party. Now you're a New Year's
Eve person, you like New Years Eer parties?
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Yeah, I like parties in general, but I am a
big believer in celebrating milestone. So this is an awesome
opportunity to celebrate what was, say goodbye to what we
didn't like, and say hello to a new start.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
And a lot of people want to do that on
their own. Here is a stat for you. Recent survey.
One in four Americans would rather go to the dentist
than to a New Year's Eve party.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
That's so sad, is it?
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Though?
Speaker 2 (01:03):
They're going to the wrong party this year.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
There's a lot of pressure on New Year's Eve. Now
that was kind of an extreme stat but this is
how they set up their information when they put this
out this New Year's Eve. The guest of honor isn't Champagne,
it's the couch. And here are your numbers. Robes. Forty
five percent say they'd rather be on a screen than
at a party.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Oh really, that's so. You want to know why?
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Because there's social anxiety because no one knows how to
interact with one another anymore, and there's literal anxiety around it.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Those are they would actually some specifically say they would
rather scroll social media and plan to do so or
have a Netflix night. Forty for almost half plan to
have a screen in their evening instead of being at
a party.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
That actually makes my heart hurt.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
I actually held off on telling you. Everybody know you're
getting I'm getting your reaction real time because when I rand,
I thought it'd be a fun thing.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Then I saw that, Oh yeah, you said, I'm gonna
wait and just tell you when we get on record,
because when we hit record, because it is unexpected. Look,
I get it. I get the pressure of New Year's Eve.
Some people call it amateur hour. People who never go
out go out and party like crazy and look, obviously
that's the extreme, but it's this is an opportunity to
(02:26):
celebrate with those you love and not be looking at
other people celebrating with the people they love. That's what
that's what the wor Yes, because you're on Instagram and
you're seeing everyone else at parties and you're seeing other
people having fun, and.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Then you feel even worse than you already did.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
But if you don't want to be on a screen,
twenty percent in this survey say they plan to be
a sleep by their night. That I can understand. But
if you put all those numbers together, you're talking about
sixty five percent of people out there who don't even
plan to celebrate the evening as anything other than another night.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
I mean, to each their own, but I do. I
do think just having a nod, a nod to a
passing moment, a nod to a passing of time. I'm
just a big believer in the in how that helps
us all process what we've been through and where we're headed.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
And there is something valuable in that to each.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
His and her, but to each his or that. But
the last thing I'll give you this was just funny.
The cities that were, as they put it, most party
averse in the survey, the place where the least amount
of people plan on going out Phoenix, Memphis and Austin.
Only fifteen percent of people in Phoenix planning to go out,
(03:37):
only sixteen percent in Memphis.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
I get that it could be scary.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Love your Memphis, that's my home. But the dads some
problems there.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
In terms of Austin surprises me because that's such a
party to have.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
A big party town. But those are the numbers. Wherever
you plan on being tonight, I hope you have a
good and safe time. And some people are going to
have a very cold I keep messing this up. Bluss
three and blistery. It's going to be so blustery that
you could get blistery.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
That could be the case.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Yes, here in New Year's Eve, we usually have about
a million revelers pack Times Square, and if you've never been,
I have to say, it's a bucket list moment.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
I got to do it through work, so I had
a media pass.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
I wasn't stuck in these they actually it's so organized,
it's remarkable and impressive. But everyone starts gathering in mid
afternoon and you stand there for hours and hours and hours,
but you're with a million of your fellow revelers and
crazy day. It's going to be cold and blustery. Thirty
four is the high, but it's going to feel colder
(04:37):
than that throughout the entire day because we've got these
wicked winds that have been whipping here. So the real
feels by midnight going to drop down to thirty, but
it'll feel like twenties or even the teens.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
But this is the cool part.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
We're getting snow flurries throughout the day, and when the
ball drops, they actually think we can have some bursts
of snow showers. Now we're talking about a dusting. It's
not like we're getting inches and inches of snow. But
they're saying the snow will add to the confetti and
it will be festive and fun.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
That's exciting.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
This will be the coldest ball drop since twenty seventeen, though,
so this is going to be a chilly night. Back
then it was nine degrees, so this is a little warmer.
But honestly, when you have real feels in the teens,
it doesn't really matter. It's just damn cold outside. But
it's fun and you're a part of how long.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Ago was it that it was the like everybody got
rained on terribly. That was an awful, awful year.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
I take snow and a little cold any day to
standing out in rain.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
Yeah, and some of y'all can just stay home watch
it on your screens like the majority of Americans apparently
going to do. But hey, Dinah Ross, I didn't realize
She's a part of the New Year's Rock and Eve. Look,
there are a lot of celebrations in different places that
are on the air, but the New Year's Rock and
Eve is probably the main one for a lot of people.
Dina Ross performing fifty cent Chance, the rapper Ajar, Bust
of Rhymes, Demi Levado, chopl Rone will be there and others,
(05:52):
So that's something you can look forward to. Also a
big thing today you got one college football at Ohio
State in Miami, so that's just another This is a
part of the day and people will have that stuff on.
So in New Year's Eve, it's always fun. We are
having a party. I guess we're being shouldn't they forced,
But I think I don't know if we'd be having
one if we didn't have the kids all around. Got
(06:14):
one home from college and all her college buddies and
high school buddies. Everybody's back, so we are. We are
throwing a little bash, and I don't know if we
would have otherwise.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
I don't know that we would have either.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
We've never This is our first New Year's Eve bash
where we're actually throwing a party, and we're hoping to
have used of the fireworks.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
So we're super excited.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
And we'll be monitoring lots of young adults, Yes, young adults,
but it's.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
All we love her crew, so this will be fun.
But folks with on this morning run, yes, we are
giving you a morning run. Just a few headlines we
want to pluck out, some of them actually horrible headlines,
but just a few things we wanted to get you
caught up on as you go about the rest of
your New Year's even robes. We have to start with
the one with the update out of Texas, the search
for that Texas teenage you've been missing since she walked
(07:01):
away from home on Christmas Eve.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
We're talking about nineteen year old Camilla mean Doza. Almost
you've seen her face everywhere. I'm sure this just adorable
nineteen year old girl. They did find a body, and
they found it in a field just one hundred yards
from her home. We know there was a firearm near
the body, and we also know that the Sheriff's department
(07:25):
said that there was a firearm missing from the family home.
They haven't officially identified her body yet. There is no
official cause of death, but they say no foul play
is suspected and the body was in very similar clothing
as to the clothing they believe that Camilla was wearing
when she walked away from her family's home on Christmas Eve, and.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
A lot of people have that thought. One hundred yards away,
she was so close. They said this field had been
checked previous, but apparently has a lot of high grass,
high brushia it was worth checking again and that's where
she was discovered. We continue here. Next leg of our
run takes us back to Washington, d C. Well, this
thing continues. We have more and more cancelations robes from
the Kennedy Center. More musicians are stepping up, putting their
(08:10):
names to it and saying we're not going to perform either.
Now we know that the New Year's even Christmas Eve
performers had canceled. It's the White House is threatening to
sue at least the Christmas Eve cancelation guy for a
million dollars for canceling that. But by some of the
numbers robes and they're all over the place. As few
as seven but up to as many as eleven acts
(08:32):
have canceled and robes. I can't imagine this is going
to stop anytime. It might be more and more polling.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Yeah, and I think maybe there is safety in numbers here,
because yes, you've got the Christmas Eve jazz musician being
sued for a million dollars. But if you think about it,
if every other artist stands by kind of what happened
to him, it might be they might think it might
be too cumbersome to sue each one of these artists.
But you know what, you know what, I wouldn't be
surprised if that still happened.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
But yeah, ticket sales are down. These are just tough times.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
But they're trying to They've all released statements alongside their
cancelations explaining why.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Some have been very direct, some have skirted around the issue.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
But basically it's that integrity versus ticket sales, and that's
where things stand. Trump hosted the Kennedy Center Honors just
before Christmas.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
You remember with the prediction he made about the ratings.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Oh, he thought the ratings were going to be so
high that he might be able to quit his day
job aka the President's.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
They wanted him because, I mean they begged him, he said.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Yeah, the American people and the board that he appointed
begged him. He had no choice but to host. First
president to host the awards. Was he the first president
not to ever attend any Kennedy's center. So he hit
a couple of first in his first term. Second term,
he went all in and decided to actually host them.
Worst ratings ever.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
The official numbers are now out. We had some prelimp
but they it's official.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
It's a significant drop to yeah than ever.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
All right, continuing on the run here now, we actually
have in the back as we are recording here a
movie on called Cocaine Bear. And that might seem odd
to be playing that at this time of day, but
it was an Isaiah Whitlock Junior special. We are just
so happens. The scene of him on the roof of
his place is on right now, one of the funniest moments.
But yes, Isaiah Whitlock Junior name and a face, a
(10:20):
lot of people have known for decades in his career,
having some very memorable moments in his career. Has passed
away at the age of seventy one, and I guess
Robes he would be most and best known for his
role in The Wire, playing Clay Davis. He was apparently
a pretty corrupt center or a politician. I believe it was,
but I didn't. I wasn't. I didn't watch The Wire,
(10:40):
so I don't know that show. I know Veep.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
I know Veep, know him from that.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
He's amazing and Veep, Yes, And even if you don't
know his name, is the second you see his face.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
You're like, oh my gosh, I love.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
He is such I said, like, just such a sweet
face about him. So it's funny he plays a bad
guy because there's such a kindness in his face, a
kindness in his smile. It makes you want to watch him.
So it's so sad we've lost him. Yes, VP, he
was amazing. We're watching him in Cocainebert Black Clansmen.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Have you seen him in that? I did not.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
It was a Spike Lee joint, yes, very well known
for that. But all we know about his death. His
manager posted this on Instagram, saying it is with tremendous
sadness that I share the passing of my dear friend
and client, Isaiah Whitlock Jr. If you knew him, you
loved him. A brilliant actor and an even better person.
May his memory forever be a blessing. Our hearts are
(11:31):
so broken. He will be very, very missed.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
They only mentioned that he had that he died after
a short a brief illness, so hey that we won't
see him in any other things. But yes, I'm this
was my first thought when his name game. Mom was like,
oh yeah, and there he is on the He just salt.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
It's so funny.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
As soon as you started talking about him, I hadn't
seen him yet in the movie, and boom he pops
up all.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
Right, continuing on the run here now, folks. New England
Patriots receiver Stefan Diggs been charged now with felony strangulation
and misdemeanor assault. Accused by a woman who worked for
him as a personal chef. She claims he slapped and
choked her in a financial dispute. This is all over money.
This was a December second incident. She reported it December sixteenth,
but yesterday his lawyer was in court to deny the charges.
(12:15):
But he has been charged. But Robe so much of
this headline hit the Titan too. Who he is in
a relationship with and who he just had a baby with, Yes.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Cardi b And she had just put out the day
before a heartfelt message on social media asking her fans
to stop hating on her and her relationship with him.
So she really it seemed very genuine. She was very
vulnerable and this was probably timed because they knew this
(12:43):
was coming out. The woman apparently went to the police
station a couple weeks ago. So news coming out now,
and of course his team, the New England Patriots, standing
behind him in every way saying they fully support him
and that he categorically denies the chargest bit of it.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
It's also on the run. Here mention here a story
we've been then, really the country's been talking about the
past few weeks. Tatiana Schlosberg, the granddaughter of JFK, has
passed away at the age of thirty five. And again
a lot of people, you know what, we're touched. Last
month she wrote that essay in The New Yorker explaining
this rare blood cancer and what she's been going through
(13:18):
and what she was trying to spare her mom and
her family from. But she's passed away now at the
age of thirty five.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Yes, she passed away on December thirtieth, So yesterday I
just kept thinking about she made it through Christmas with
her children. She talked a lot about her kids and
just the sadness of them not knowing her or remembering
her because they were so young. She actually had our
cancer diagnosed the day she gave birth to her daughter,
so that was about a year and a half, almost
two years ago. And certainly just beautiful tributes pouring out
(13:46):
of the Kennedy family. The JFK Library Foundation said this,
our beautiful Tatiana passed away this morning.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
She will always be in our hearts.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
I really appreciate that she left us with what she
left us. That that was pretty special. I didn't law
she put it out on the anniversary of JFK's assassination.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Eleven two sixty three. I didn't realize that either she.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
Actually when she put it out. So wow, all right, folks,
well stay with us here on this morning run. We
have one more headline to give you out of Germany.
If you've ever seen the Jason State the movie called
bank Job. That's exactly what has happened in real life,
and they say it might be the biggest bank heist
(14:30):
in German history.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Welcome back everyone to our New Year's Eve edition of
Morning Run, and we wrap up the Run in Germany
where there was an actual bank heist, just like the
movie Bank Heist, correct gay job.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Sorry, obviously I have not seen it.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
You were. Basically, if you look at and look and
read the details of this bank heist, it's almost as
if they took the script from the movie and actually
completed and successfully robbed this bank exactly the way they
did it in the Jason stath Of movie.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
The whole idea is this gang of thieves waits until
nobody is around, a quiet time for the community, that
the stores are closed, twistmass. They go through an adjacent
store through the wall of the safety deposit room, steal
everything and get out of there. That is what has
(15:38):
happened in Germany, Folks. These guys or yalls possibly drilled
a hole through a concrete wall apparently at an adjacent
parking garage. Comes out. Then turns out some people saw
massed men going in with equipment and didn't think anything
of it. Don't know why, but they drilled a hole
through they got into the safety deposit room and went
(16:01):
through all of those boxes, and they say they have
taken ninety five percent of the inventory at the German bank.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
And they said that a lot of the patrons of
this bank were Turkish, just dignitaries, people had lots of money,
and a lot of these folks had put their gold jewelry.
And they said that the estimates, or at least the
insurance they had in their boxes was nowhere near with
the actual value of the content. So there are a
lot of upset, angry folks who thought, yes, what's the
(16:31):
point of a safety deposit box? You put your most
valuable possessions in there for safe keeping.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
And one other part of the plot of bang Job
is that there was some very damaging and incriminating information photos,
at least in particular having to do with the royal
family in one of those safety deposit boxes. So when
you talk about this and they say anywhere between twelve
to one hundred and five million dollars worth of stuff
is gone, there were probably some family secrets in there somewhere.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
You know what.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
I hadn't considered that either, But yes, people might put
things in those boxes that they want no one to
ever find as in ever. Wow.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
All right, folks, Well that is how we're going to
wrap up the morning run and rows. We have a
send off quote. This is our last quote of the year.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
It better be good.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
This is a good one for you and I quote.
Don't get tired of helping others. You will be rewarded
when the time is ripe if you don't give up.
We should help people whenever we can. Simple to the point,
point blank, you know what that is? That is a
Bible verse.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Oh what I was going to say, is that from
your pastor that.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
Is actual Bible verse Galatians six nine and ten. Another
version of it says this, and let us not grow
weary of doing good for indue season. We will reap
if we do not give up. So then as we
have opportunity, let us do good to everyone.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
That's a wonderful, wonderful quote to stay with you, to
be reminded of now, but to hopefully keep with us
every day of the year of this new year.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
Folks, we appreciate you always spending time with us. So
we mean it from the bottom of our hearts. We
don't have time, necessarily robe to reflect. We're so busy
a lot of times. But you and I have had
a hell of a life, hell of a career, hell
of a year again and now we have so much
more to look forward to. And one thing that's driving
(18:30):
us crazy a lot of times about doing morning run
and being involved in news every day, like, damn, we
are not nice to each other.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
Yeah, people are just awful to each other.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
Yeah. And so hey, folks, yes, it's just one Bible quote,
but if you can keep that in mind, as we
have an opportunity every day to be kind to somebody
and it makes a difference.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
It does. Thank you for that, babe.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
That is the perfect quote of the day to end
twenty twenty five. And with that, everyone, I may be
a roboch. Thank you so much for running with us,
and I'm TJ.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
Holmes. Happy New Year, folks,

the last thing I'll give you this was just funny.
The cities that were, as they put it, most party
averse in the survey, the place where the least amount
of people plan on going out Phoenix, Memphis and Austin.
Only fifteen percent of people in Phoenix planning to go out,
(03:37):
only sixteen percent in Memphis.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
I get that it could be scary.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Love your Memphis, that's my home. But the dads some
problems there.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
In terms of Austin surprises me because that's such a
party to have.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
A big party town. But those are the numbers. Wherever
you plan on being tonight, I hope you have a
good and safe time. And some people are going to
have a very cold I keep messing this up. Bluss
three and blistery. It's going to be so blustery that

That could be the case.

Yes, here in New Year's Eve, we usually have about
a million revelers pack Times Square, and if you've never been,
I have to say, it's a bucket list moment.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
I got to do it through work, so I had
a media pass.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
I wasn't stuck in these they actually it's so organized,
it's remarkable and impressive. But everyone starts gathering in mid
afternoon and you stand there for hours and hours and hours,
but you're with a million of your fellow revelers and
crazy day. It's going to be cold and blustery. Thirty
four is the high, but it's going to feel colder
(04:37):
than that throughout the entire day because we've got these
wicked winds that have been whipping here. So the real
feels by midnight going to drop down to thirty, but
it'll feel like twenties or even the teens.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
But this is the cool part.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
We're getting snow flurries throughout the day, and when the
ball drops, they actually think we can have some bursts
of snow showers. Now we're talking about a dusting. It's
not like we're getting inches and inches of snow. But
they're saying the snow will add to the confetti and
it will be festive and fun.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
That's exciting.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
This will be the coldest ball drop since twenty seventeen, though,
so this is going to be a chilly night. Back
then it was nine degrees, so this is a little warmer.
But honestly, when you have real feels in the teens,
it doesn't really matter. It's just damn cold outside. But
it's fun and you're a part of how long.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Ago was it that it was the like everybody got
rained on terribly. That was an awful, awful year.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
I take snow and a little cold any day to
standing out in rain.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
Yeah, and some of y'all can just stay home watch
it on your screens like the majority of Americans apparently
going to do. But hey, Dinah Ross, I didn't realize
She's a part of the New Year's Rock and Eve. Look,
there are a lot of celebrations in different places that
are on the air, but the New Year's Rock and
Eve is probably the main one for a lot of people.
Dina Ross performing fifty cent Chance, the rapper Ajar, Bust
of Rhymes, Demi Levado, chopl Rone will be there and others,
(05:52):
So that's something you can look forward to. Also a
big thing today you got one college football at Ohio
State in Miami, so that's just another This is a
part of the day and people will have that stuff on.
So in New Year's Eve, it's always fun. We are
having a party. I guess we're being shouldn't they forced,
But I think I don't know if we'd be having
one if we didn't have the kids all around. Got
(06:14):
one home from college and all her college buddies and
high school buddies. Everybody's back, so we are. We are
throwing a little bash, and I don't know if we
would have otherwise.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
I don't know that we would have either.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
We've never This is our first New Year's Eve bash
where we're actually throwing a party, and we're hoping to
have used of the fireworks.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
So we're super excited.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
And we'll be monitoring lots of young adults, Yes, young adults,
but it's.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
All we love her crew, so this will be fun.
But folks with on this morning run, yes, we are
giving you a morning run. Just a few headlines we
want to pluck out, some of them actually horrible headlines,
but just a few things we wanted to get you
caught up on as you go about the rest of
your New Year's even robes. We have to start with
the one with the update out of Texas, the search
for that Texas teenage you've been missing since she walked
(07:01):
away from home on Christmas Eve.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
We're talking about nineteen year old Camilla mean Doza. Almost
you've seen her face everywhere. I'm sure this just adorable
nineteen year old girl. They did find a body, and
they found it in a field just one hundred yards
from her home. We know there was a firearm near
the body, and we also know that the Sheriff's department
(07:25):
said that there was a firearm missing from the family home.
They haven't officially identified her body yet. There is no
official cause of death, but they say no foul play
is suspected and the body was in very similar clothing
as to the clothing they believe that Camilla was wearing
when she walked away from her family's home on Christmas Eve, and.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
A lot of people have that thought. One hundred yards away,
she was so close. They said this field had been
checked previous, but apparently has a lot of high grass,
high brushia it was worth checking again and that's where
she was discovered. We continue here. Next leg of our
run takes us back to Washington, d C. Well, this
thing continues. We have more and more cancelations robes from
the Kennedy Center. More musicians are stepping up, putting their
(08:10):
names to it and saying we're not going to perform either.
Now we know that the New Year's even Christmas Eve
performers had canceled. It's the White House is threatening to
sue at least the Christmas Eve cancelation guy for a
million dollars for canceling that. But by some of the
numbers robes and they're all over the place. As few
as seven but up to as many as eleven acts
(08:32):
have canceled and robes. I can't imagine this is going
to stop anytime. It might be more and more polling.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Yeah, and I think maybe there is safety in numbers here,
because yes, you've got the Christmas Eve jazz musician being
sued for a million dollars. But if you think about it,
if every other artist stands by kind of what happened
to him, it might be they might think it might
be too cumbersome to sue each one of these artists.
But you know what, you know what, I wouldn't be
surprised if that still happened.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
But yeah, ticket sales are down. These are just tough times.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
But they're trying to They've all released statements alongside their
cancelations explaining why.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Some have been very direct, some have skirted around the issue.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
But basically it's that integrity versus ticket sales, and that's
where things stand. Trump hosted the Kennedy Center Honors just
before Christmas.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
You remember with the prediction he made about the ratings.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Oh, he thought the ratings were going to be so
high that he might be able to quit his day
job aka the President's.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
They wanted him because, I mean they begged him, he said.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Yeah, the American people and the board that he appointed
begged him. He had no choice but to host. First
president to host the awards. Was he the first president
not to ever attend any Kennedy's center. So he hit
a couple of first in his first term. Second term,
he went all in and decided to actually host them.
Worst ratings ever.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
The official numbers are now out. We had some prelimp
but they it's official.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
It's a significant drop to yeah than ever.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
All right, continuing on the run here now, we actually
have in the back as we are recording here a
movie on called Cocaine Bear. And that might seem odd
to be playing that at this time of day, but
it was an Isaiah Whitlock Junior special. We are just
so happens. The scene of him on the roof of
his place is on right now, one of the funniest moments.
But yes, Isaiah Whitlock Junior name and a face, a
(10:20):
lot of people have known for decades in his career,
having some very memorable moments in his career. Has passed
away at the age of seventy one, and I guess
Robes he would be most and best known for his
role in The Wire, playing Clay Davis. He was apparently
a pretty corrupt center or a politician. I believe it was,
but I didn't. I wasn't. I didn't watch The Wire,
(10:40):
so I don't know that show. I know Veep.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
I know Veep, know him from that.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
He's amazing and Veep, Yes, And even if you don't
know his name, is the second you see his face.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
You're like, oh my gosh, I love.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
He is such I said, like, just such a sweet
face about him. So it's funny he plays a bad
guy because there's such a kindness in his face, a
kindness in his smile. It makes you want to watch him.
So it's so sad we've lost him. Yes, VP, he
was amazing. We're watching him in Cocainebert Black Clansmen.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Have you seen him in that? I did not.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
It was a Spike Lee joint, yes, very well known
for that. But all we know about his death. His
manager posted this on Instagram, saying it is with tremendous
sadness that I share the passing of my dear friend
and client, Isaiah Whitlock Jr. If you knew him, you
loved him. A brilliant actor and an even better person.
May his memory forever be a blessing. Our hearts are
(11:31):
so broken. He will be very, very missed.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
They only mentioned that he had that he died after
a short a brief illness, so hey that we won't
see him in any other things. But yes, I'm this
was my first thought when his name game. Mom was like,
oh yeah, and there he is on the He just salt.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
It's so funny.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
As soon as you started talking about him, I hadn't
seen him yet in the movie, and boom he pops
up all.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
Right, continuing on the run here now, folks. New England
Patriots receiver Stefan Diggs been charged now with felony strangulation
and misdemeanor assault. Accused by a woman who worked for
him as a personal chef. She claims he slapped and
choked her in a financial dispute. This is all over money.
This was a December second incident. She reported it December sixteenth,
but yesterday his lawyer was in court to deny the charges.
(12:15):
But he has been charged. But Robe so much of
this headline hit the Titan too. Who he is in
a relationship with and who he just had a baby with, Yes.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Cardi b And she had just put out the day
before a heartfelt message on social media asking her fans
to stop hating on her and her relationship with him.
So she really it seemed very genuine. She was very
vulnerable and this was probably timed because they knew this
(12:43):
was coming out. The woman apparently went to the police
station a couple weeks ago. So news coming out now,
and of course his team, the New England Patriots, standing
behind him in every way saying they fully support him
and that he categorically denies the chargest bit of it.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
It's also on the run. Here mention here a story
we've been then, really the country's been talking about the
past few weeks. Tatiana Schlosberg, the granddaughter of JFK, has
passed away at the age of thirty five. And again
a lot of people, you know what, we're touched. Last
month she wrote that essay in The New Yorker explaining
this rare blood cancer and what she's been going through
(13:18):
and what she was trying to spare her mom and
her family from. But she's passed away now at the
age of thirty five.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Yes, she passed away on December thirtieth, So yesterday I
just kept thinking about she made it through Christmas with
her children. She talked a lot about her kids and
just the sadness of them not knowing her or remembering
her because they were so young. She actually had our
cancer diagnosed the day she gave birth to her daughter,
so that was about a year and a half, almost
two years ago. And certainly just beautiful tributes pouring out
(13:46):
of the Kennedy family. The JFK Library Foundation said this,
our beautiful Tatiana passed away this morning.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
She will always be in our hearts.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
I really appreciate that she left us with what she
left us. That that was pretty special. I didn't law
she put it out on the anniversary of JFK's assassination.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Eleven two sixty three. I didn't realize that either she.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
Actually when she put it out. So wow, all right, folks,
well stay with us here on this morning run. We
have one more headline to give you out of Germany.
If you've ever seen the Jason State the movie called
bank Job. That's exactly what has happened in real life,
and they say it might be the biggest bank heist
(14:30):
in German history.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Welcome back everyone to our New Year's Eve edition of
Morning Run, and we wrap up the Run in Germany
where there was an actual bank heist, just like the
movie Bank Heist, correct gay job.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Sorry, obviously I have not seen it.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
You were. Basically, if you look at and look and
read the details of this bank heist, it's almost as
if they took the script from the movie and actually
completed and successfully robbed this bank exactly the way they
did it in the Jason stath Of movie.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
The whole idea is this gang of thieves waits until
nobody is around, a quiet time for the community, that
the stores are closed, twistmass. They go through an adjacent
store through the wall of the safety deposit room, steal
everything and get out of there. That is what has
(15:38):
happened in Germany, Folks. These guys or yalls possibly drilled
a hole through a concrete wall apparently at an adjacent
parking garage. Comes out. Then turns out some people saw
massed men going in with equipment and didn't think anything
of it. Don't know why, but they drilled a hole
through they got into the safety deposit room and went
(16:01):
through all of those boxes, and they say they have
taken ninety five percent of the inventory at the German bank.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
And they said that a lot of the patrons of
this bank were Turkish, just dignitaries, people had lots of money,
and a lot of these folks had put their gold jewelry.
And they said that the estimates, or at least the
insurance they had in their boxes was nowhere near with
the actual value of the content. So there are a
lot of upset, angry folks who thought, yes, what's the
(16:31):
point of a safety deposit box? You put your most
valuable possessions in there for safe keeping.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
And one other part of the plot of bang Job
is that there was some very damaging and incriminating information photos,
at least in particular having to do with the royal
family in one of those safety deposit boxes. So when
you talk about this and they say anywhere between twelve
to one hundred and five million dollars worth of stuff
is gone, there were probably some family secrets in there somewhere.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
You know what.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
I hadn't considered that either, But yes, people might put
things in those boxes that they want no one to
ever find as in ever. Wow.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
All right, folks, Well that is how we're going to
wrap up the morning run and rows. We have a
send off quote. This is our last quote of the year.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
It better be good.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
This is a good one for you and I quote.
Don't get tired of helping others. You will be rewarded
when the time is ripe if you don't give up.
We should help people whenever we can. Simple to the point,
point blank, you know what that is? That is a
Bible verse.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Oh what I was going to say, is that from
your pastor that.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
Is actual Bible verse Galatians six nine and ten. Another
version of it says this, and let us not grow
weary of doing good for indue season. We will reap
if we do not give up. So then as we
have opportunity, let us do good to everyone.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
That's a wonderful, wonderful quote to stay with you, to
be reminded of now, but to hopefully keep with us
every day of the year of this new year.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
Folks, we appreciate you always spending time with us. So
we mean it from the bottom of our hearts. We
don't have time, necessarily robe to reflect. We're so busy
a lot of times. But you and I have had
a hell of a life, hell of a career, hell
of a year again and now we have so much
more to look forward to. And one thing that's driving
(18:30):
us crazy a lot of times about doing morning run
and being involved in news every day, like, damn, we
are not nice to each other.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
Yeah, people are just awful to each other.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
Yeah. And so hey, folks, yes, it's just one Bible quote,
but if you can keep that in mind, as we
have an opportunity every day to be kind to somebody
and it makes a difference.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
It does. Thank you for that, babe.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
That is the perfect quote of the day to end
twenty twenty five. And with that, everyone, I may be
a roboch. Thank you so much for running with us,
and I'm TJ.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
Holmes. Happy New Year, folks,
