Speaker 1 (00:02):
Hey there everybody, Good morning, and welcome to your morning
run for this Friday, August twenty second. We made it
on teeth Jay alms my he sleeps cords morning on
my rowing as at fifty sixth, so bear with me.
He didn't get a good night's sleep up late dealing
with of course, what many of you all saw was
that Eric Menindez was denied He was denied parole yesterday.
(00:24):
His brother Lyle is up today, so we'll be following
that during the day today at least. But that was
certainly a headline that had us all up late last night,
but also on the run this morning. Who knew we're
trying to find a way for Democrats and Republicans to
come together. Who knew that it was Cracker Barrel that
could do it for us? Yes, Cracker Barrel changed the
(00:45):
logo and everybody hates it, including Republicans and Democrats. Will
get into that. Also, we all kind of break what
are you asle a window when you fly? All right,
so all of us pretty much fall into one of
those categories. You're al a window person? Will you window people?
You really take your windows seriously? Because you all have
now filed two class action suits against two airlines because
(01:10):
you bought window seats, but then you got there and
you had the seat near the wall, but there was
no window next to your seat. We'll explain what's going
on there. Also concern for Lil nas X, who has
been hospitalized and arrested accused of assaulting a police officer,
(01:33):
but also in the hospital because of a possible overdose
and a strange video of him online out there right now.
We'll get into that. Also, John bon Jovi is a grandpa,
but that's not the only breaking family news for Jean
bon Jovi. It's not breaking news for him, but it
was breaking news for me. Yes, he has a first
time grandpa, and there are some other details about his
(01:53):
family I didn't know. Maybe y'all were up on We
can get into it. Also, as a reminder, right now,
go ahead, pick up the phone. Look at it right there,
the top right screen where you see our show page
on the Apple podcast app top right corner says followed.
Just click that and you can get our updates anytime,
coming right to you. Also, on the Run this Morning,
students Scent running at Villanova after an active shooter hoax. Also,
(02:18):
the Texas redistricting plan is about to cost California possibly
up to two hundred million dollars. Also, Trump's debt went
from five hundred million to zero yesterday. Hurricane Aeron is
still churning out there. Didn't make landfall, but still annoying
as hell. Also another legionnaire's death in New York and
a hurtful and offensive middle of the night road project
(02:43):
by Florida Transportation Cruise as really people upset, They're angry,
but also just simply hurt at what happened there. But
first up on the run, a quick update about Hurricane Aeron. Now,
Hurricane Aeron is headed away from the US. It has
been downgraded to a Category one storm. But we are
not done dealing with this thing just yet. We still
(03:05):
have and this is important to note, a slew of
beaches along the East Coast that remain closed and swimming
is banned. These rip currents continue to be a major threat.
There have been dozens and dozens of rescues this week
along the coast of people stuck in these rip currents.
So even though this storm did not make landfall, wasn't
ever a real threat to make landfall in the US.
(03:27):
It is downgraded and is moving away from us. But yes, folks,
what I am saying, and what the meteorologists are saying,
is that there is still a danger from Hurricane Aaron,
and you need to pay attention. Coastal flood warnings and
tropical storm conditions remain in place from the mid Atlantic
to New England, including here in New York where I sit.
New Jersey has declared a state of emergency because of
(03:47):
high winds and expected flooding. So, yes, it is true
the storm is going away, but there are some remnants
or I should actually I should say threats from the
storm to keep an eye on. Continuing on the run.
Now your move. Texas California has passed and Governor Newsom
has signed redistricting legislation as a direct response. Through the
redistricting efforts in Texas, California's redrawn congressional district map shifts
(04:13):
the lines of five particular districts currently held by Republicans,
making those districts more democratic. Why five, you ask, Yes,
Five is the same number of seats that Republicans stand
to pick up with their redistricting plan in Texas. The
Texas House has passed it already. The Senate expected to
(04:33):
do so in short order. But even if Texas and
California offset each other, get this, you now have a
number of other states where conversations are going on about
doing the same thing withdrawing their congressional maps now in
time for the mid terms. Now Ohio, Missouri, Indiana, Florida,
(04:54):
and New York among the states that are being talked about.
Although the California legislature pass the redistricting bill, they can't
implement a new congressional map on their own. They have
to put it to a vote in a special election
this November. That special election is going to cost money
upwards of two hundred million dollars. The last time they
(05:15):
had one, I believe in too twenty twenty one, they
have numbers that show that one costs about two hundred
million dollars. Don't have the official numbers for this one,
but the assumption is it could be in that range.
Continue now on this Friday morning run where students thought
they were running for their lives on the campus of
Villanova University yesterday, and it turns out this was a hoax,
(05:38):
an active shooter hoax that had students, their families and
staff scrambling and barricading themselves in rooms on the first
day of freshmen orientations. Yes, so there were families on
campus as well, not just students. Police say they got
a call about an active shooter on campus around four
thirty yesterday afternoon, and this was while a mass was
(06:00):
going on to welcome the incoming freshmen and their families.
Now there was a massive law enforcement response to campus
and an alert went out to tell students of shelter
in place. It would take another hour and a half
before the all clear was given, and the school president
announced that this was, in his words, a cruel hoax.
No injuries to report, no injuries found, and also no
(06:23):
evidence of any shooter and no evidence of any firearm
ever being on campus. They don't know who is responsible
for this. No arrests have been made, but they are
trying to track it down. And there was a similar
incident on the campus of UT Chattanooga yesterday. They also
got a call about an active shooter on campus. This
happened around lunchtime. Police had to go through building by building,
(06:44):
room room by room on campus and found no indication
of their ever being a shooter on campus. Continuing on
the run now with president Trump. What a big win
for him, a total win at least as how he
put it. But he's off the hook now for five
hundred million dollars. An appeals court yesterday tossed out that
huge financial judgment against Trump that was imposed in that
(07:07):
civil case brought by New York State Attorney General Letitia James. Now,
initially the penalty was three hundred and fifty five million dollars.
Trump appealed, and while the appeals going on, interest was accruing,
so the amount he owed had ballooned to five hundred
million plus. That number is now zero after the five
judge appellate panel yesterday agreed that the penalty was excessive.
(07:31):
Trump and his sons were accused of artificially inflating the
value of their properties and business in order to secure
more favorable loan terms. Now, while the judges acknowledged and
upheld some of the claims made against Trump in that
first court case, this court, the suppellate court said, quote,
while harm certainly occurred, it was not the catasclismic, the
(07:52):
cataclysmic harm that can justify a nearly half billion dollar award.
Another judge didn't mince his words either. He went after
Attorney General James for bringing the case in the first place.
And this is what he said, and I'm gonna read
it all, and I'm gonna say, quote and read all
of this. He said plainly, her ultimate goal was not
(08:12):
market hygiene, but political hygiene. Ending with the derailment of
President Trump's political career and the destruction of his real
estate business. The voters have obviously rendered a verdict on
his political career. The bench today unanimously derails the effort
to destroy his business. End quote. Attorney General Letitia James,
(08:35):
by the way, I should note, has said she plans
to appeal this judgment. Continuing on the run now this
Friday morning with Grammy winner Lil nas X. He has
been arrested and hospitalized after police say they got a
call about a naked man roaming the streets around six
a m. Thursday morning. This was in the Studio City
(08:56):
area out in southern California, out in La Video. Is
now surfaced one in particular, TMZ was the one that
published it. But it shows Lil nas X walking down
the street in the middle of the street in Studio
City kind of doing a catwalk. And in the video,
Lil nas X, whose real name is Montero Lamont Hill,
is wearing only tidy whities and cowboy boots. Now police
(09:19):
arrives said Lil nas X charged at them. That part
we don't see in the video, but they say he
charged at them, and that's why he's now facing charges
of battery on a police officer. And then he was
taken to the hospital for a suspected overdose. Let's continue
now on the run, and the next leg brings us
back to New York, where there's been another confirmed death
tied to the Legionnaire's disease cluster. Here in the city.
(09:43):
A sixth person died and the number of confirmed cases
now has gone up to one hundred and eleven. Seven
people remain hospitalized. This outbreak has been confined to five
specific zip codes in Harlem. Health officials have traced it
to twelve cooling towers at ten buildings, a hospit among them. Now,
this person that's been identified as the sixth victim actually
(10:04):
died earlier this month and outside of New York what
was only discovered recently by a health department investigation. A
reminder here that Legionnaire's disease is a type of pneumonia
that has not passed from person to person, but rather
by breathing in small water droplets that have Lesionella bacteria
on them. Symptoms resemble the flu. You have coughs, headaches,
(10:26):
muscle eggs, shortness of breath as well. Continuing now on
the run, the next leg takes us down to Orlando
for what the mayor there calls a cruel political act.
After residents woke up yesterday the fine that a simple
and a sweet memorial to the victims of the Pulse
nightclub shooting had been removed in the middle of the night.
(10:47):
What this memorial was, It was just a sidewalk right
there in front of the Pulse nightclub and it was
rainbow colored. They had taken us up and painted it
in rainbow colors right outside the nightclub. This was in
honor of the LGBTQ plus community which was targeted at
that twenty sixteen mass shooting in which forty nine people
were killed. Now, at the time, that shooting was the
(11:08):
deadliest in US history. Now, that rainbow colored sidewalk has
now been painted over, and it was the Florida government
that did it. The State Transportation Agency told municipalities previously
that they would have to remove painted sidewalks, crosswalks and streets.
They said it's now prohibited, banned, and they made a
(11:30):
note that it shouldn't, in particular have any kind of
political statements attached to them, and if you do so,
you're going to risk losing state dollars. So this has
now been painted over. It happened in the middle of
the night, and it felt to a lot of people
they were trying to sneak and do this while people
were asleep, and to do this right up under them.
(11:50):
So this was the response at least from one state
senator who is openly gay. He put it this way,
there will be a rainbow mural nearby that is even bigger,
queerer and more colorful. Ah wait, you do. I thought
that was a good way to respond to that. We'll
(12:13):
stay with us here on this Friday morning run when
we come back. You windows seat people, you flyers, y'all
take y'all window seats seriously, to the point you're willing
to file class action lawsuits over them. Also, Cracker Barrel
has brought everybody together in their hate and John bon
(12:33):
Jovi is a grandpa for the first time. But that
wasn't the most surprising family news I heard about John
bon Jovi this week, Continuing now on this Friday morning
run with two airlines that are facing class action lawsuits
(12:58):
because they sold people window seat tickets and there was
no window. Delta and United are being sued because passengers
were pissed that they'd selected and even paid extra for
a window seat, but when they got to the airport,
got to their gate, they boarded the plane, they walked
down the aisle, they got to the seat, and they
discovered the window seat wasn't next to a blank wall.
(13:20):
Now maybe you've noticed this before, maybe it's happened to you,
but some seats along the wall of the plane don't
actually have a window, not a lot of them. It
really just comes down to basic design and engineering of
the plane. You gotta put air conditioning ducks, you gotta
put all kinds of mechanicals in some places, and sometimes
you can't put a window everywhere. That's essentially what it is.
But the lawsuits take issue with them still being called
(13:44):
window seats and claimed that some airlines will let people
know ahead of time that they are booking a windowless
window seat. I don't know if I've seen that before,
but no official response yet from the airlines, and we
will see where this goes. They want, I guess the
passengers to be compensated in some way for the money
that they spent and for the window they did not get.
(14:06):
Continuing on the run. Now, I encourage all of us,
can't we bring the temperature down just a little bit
over this cracker barrel logo. You might have heard and
maybe you've seen that the company unveiled a new logo.
What's the big deal? This is a company that's what
They have hundreds of stores in the country and they
(14:27):
it's it's kind of a country store and a country restaurant.
They have like some down home food, some comfort food,
and this is just the thing they've done. But they've
had this logos in nineteen seventy seven, but they unveiled
a new one, and after they did, their stock price
immediately dropped. They actually lost about one hundred million dollars
(14:47):
in market value yesterday alone, and then everybody piled on.
Republicans went after the company for being woke within a
number of prominent Democrats, including the DNC itself, said they
don't like the logo either. Different reasons, but they say, yeah,
we think it kind of sucks as well. But if
you haven't seen it, the new logo removes the image
(15:07):
of a man in overalls leaning on a barrel. You
have seen it because it's been there for the past
forty eight years. I know that because it was in
place the year of my birth nineteen seventy seven, so
it's been in place all that time. The new logo, though,
keeps the same color scheme and a similar font that
says Cracker Barrel, but it removes the guy in the
(15:30):
overalls and it removes the barrel. Now, the company has
been undergoing a seven hundred million dollar rebrand, with some
stores getting makeovers, but the company CEO contends that their
values have been changed. In the heart and soul of
Cracker Barrel have been changed either, it's it's just a logo.
Do you think good luck? Not mad? But is it?
(15:50):
Is it woke that somebody wants to modernize, somebody wants
to update or even upgrade, You could argue, but we
it's fine and it's funny, but some of it's gotten
a little much. Is this the final leg of the run? Here? Now? Hey,
all right, final leg of the run now, and the
headlines everywhere say that actress Millie Bobby Brown is a
(16:11):
first time mom after adopting a little girl with her husband.
The headline for me is that the little girl from
Stranger Things is the daughter in law of John bon Jovi.
Did y'all know that? Okay? I don't keep up on
a lot of celebrity news. I don't keep up on
a lot of celebrity couples. I knew she was dating someone,
(16:32):
I knew she was married. I did not put this together.
So if you all were ahead of me on this, fine,
But yes, the little girl, the star from the Stranger
Things is the daughter in law now of John bon Jovi,
and has been for a while. She's been engaged and
married and been a relationship for years with this guy.
But I am just getting caught up with this idea
(16:54):
that this is now her father in law, John bon Jovi. Anyway,
but she is married to Jake bon Jovi, who is
the son of the legendary rocker John Bonjovi and his wife.
They have four kids. Actually, I think Jake is the
second to youngest. He's twenty three years old. Millie Bobby
Brown is twenty one years old. But they made the
announcement yesterday on social media that they had welcomed a
(17:14):
quote sweet baby Girl through adoption. They signed off in
a very cool way that said, and then there were three.
All right, this is the point where we usually I
say something we like for you to consider. It is
our quote of the day. Here's the thing. Roeboch is
(17:35):
usually the one that puts together the quotes. And I'll
be honest with y'all, it's been kind of a scramble
last couple days doing this on my own. And sure
enough sat down to record, and about two stories ago,
I just realized, damn, I forgot to pluck a quote.
So I got nothing. I didn't go back and find one.
(17:57):
I could probably dig one out of my mind something
right quick. I'm trying to think of a Bible verse
or something I could give you. Timothy five twenty three,
how about a Bible verse for you folks going into
the weekend, And the Lord said, drink no longer water,
(18:18):
but use a little wine for thy stomach sake. Take
that with you today is your quote of the day.
And going into the weekend. And again I apologize, robok
hears she always does the quotes I forgot to do it,
So the best I got for you is a Bible
verse that's off the top of my head. First Timpathy
five twenty three, and the Lord said, drink no longer water,
(18:38):
but use a little wine for thy stomach sake. And
with that, folks, I know y'all relieved. Robot will be
back on Monday, but for now, I'm TJ. Holmes. Always
appreciate you running with us. Talk to the unswer.
Hey there everybody, Good morning, and welcome to your morning
run for this Friday, August twenty second. We made it
on teeth Jay alms my he sleeps cords morning on
my rowing as at fifty sixth, so bear with me.
He didn't get a good night's sleep up late dealing
with of course, what many of you all saw was
that Eric Menindez was denied He was denied parole yesterday.
(00:24):
His brother Lyle is up today, so we'll be following
that during the day today at least. But that was
certainly a headline that had us all up late last night,
but also on the run this morning. Who knew we're
trying to find a way for Democrats and Republicans to
come together. Who knew that it was Cracker Barrel that
could do it for us? Yes, Cracker Barrel changed the
(00:45):
logo and everybody hates it, including Republicans and Democrats. Will
get into that. Also, we all kind of break what
are you asle a window when you fly? All right,
so all of us pretty much fall into one of
those categories. You're al a window person? Will you window people?
You really take your windows seriously? Because you all have
now filed two class action suits against two airlines because
(01:10):
you bought window seats, but then you got there and
you had the seat near the wall, but there was
no window next to your seat. We'll explain what's going
on there. Also concern for Lil nas X, who has
been hospitalized and arrested accused of assaulting a police officer,
(01:33):
but also in the hospital because of a possible overdose
and a strange video of him online out there right now.
We'll get into that. Also, John bon Jovi is a grandpa,
but that's not the only breaking family news for Jean
bon Jovi. It's not breaking news for him, but it
was breaking news for me. Yes, he has a first
time grandpa, and there are some other details about his
(01:53):
family I didn't know. Maybe y'all were up on We
can get into it. Also, as a reminder, right now,
go ahead, pick up the phone. Look at it right there,
the top right screen where you see our show page
on the Apple podcast app top right corner says followed.
Just click that and you can get our updates anytime,
coming right to you. Also, on the Run this Morning,
students Scent running at Villanova after an active shooter hoax. Also,
(02:18):
the Texas redistricting plan is about to cost California possibly
up to two hundred million dollars. Also, Trump's debt went
from five hundred million to zero yesterday. Hurricane Aeron is
still churning out there. Didn't make landfall, but still annoying
as hell. Also another legionnaire's death in New York and
a hurtful and offensive middle of the night road project
(02:43):
by Florida Transportation Cruise as really people upset, They're angry,
but also just simply hurt at what happened there. But
first up on the run, a quick update about Hurricane Aeron. Now,
Hurricane Aeron is headed away from the US. It has
been downgraded to a Category one storm. But we are
not done dealing with this thing just yet. We still
(03:05):
have and this is important to note, a slew of
beaches along the East Coast that remain closed and swimming
is banned. These rip currents continue to be a major threat.
There have been dozens and dozens of rescues this week
along the coast of people stuck in these rip currents.
So even though this storm did not make landfall, wasn't
ever a real threat to make landfall in the US.
(03:27):
It is downgraded and is moving away from us. But yes, folks,
what I am saying, and what the meteorologists are saying,
is that there is still a danger from Hurricane Aaron,
and you need to pay attention. Coastal flood warnings and
tropical storm conditions remain in place from the mid Atlantic
to New England, including here in New York where I sit.
New Jersey has declared a state of emergency because of
(03:47):
high winds and expected flooding. So, yes, it is true
the storm is going away, but there are some remnants
or I should actually I should say threats from the
storm to keep an eye on. Continuing on the run.
Now your move. Texas California has passed and Governor Newsom
has signed redistricting legislation as a direct response. Through the
redistricting efforts in Texas, California's redrawn congressional district map shifts
(04:13):
the lines of five particular districts currently held by Republicans,
making those districts more democratic. Why five, you ask, Yes,
Five is the same number of seats that Republicans stand
to pick up with their redistricting plan in Texas. The
Texas House has passed it already. The Senate expected to
(04:33):
do so in short order. But even if Texas and
California offset each other, get this, you now have a
number of other states where conversations are going on about
doing the same thing withdrawing their congressional maps now in
time for the mid terms. Now Ohio, Missouri, Indiana, Florida,
(04:54):
and New York among the states that are being talked about.
Although the California legislature pass the redistricting bill, they can't
implement a new congressional map on their own. They have
to put it to a vote in a special election
this November. That special election is going to cost money
upwards of two hundred million dollars. The last time they
(05:15):
had one, I believe in too twenty twenty one, they
have numbers that show that one costs about two hundred
million dollars. Don't have the official numbers for this one,
but the assumption is it could be in that range.
Continue now on this Friday morning run where students thought
they were running for their lives on the campus of
Villanova University yesterday, and it turns out this was a hoax,
(05:38):
an active shooter hoax that had students, their families and
staff scrambling and barricading themselves in rooms on the first
day of freshmen orientations. Yes, so there were families on
campus as well, not just students. Police say they got
a call about an active shooter on campus around four
thirty yesterday afternoon, and this was while a mass was
(06:00):
going on to welcome the incoming freshmen and their families.
Now there was a massive law enforcement response to campus
and an alert went out to tell students of shelter
in place. It would take another hour and a half
before the all clear was given, and the school president
announced that this was, in his words, a cruel hoax.
No injuries to report, no injuries found, and also no
(06:23):
evidence of any shooter and no evidence of any firearm
ever being on campus. They don't know who is responsible
for this. No arrests have been made, but they are
trying to track it down. And there was a similar
incident on the campus of UT Chattanooga yesterday. They also
got a call about an active shooter on campus. This
happened around lunchtime. Police had to go through building by building,
(06:44):
room room by room on campus and found no indication
of their ever being a shooter on campus. Continuing on
the run now with president Trump. What a big win
for him, a total win at least as how he
put it. But he's off the hook now for five
hundred million dollars. An appeals court yesterday tossed out that
huge financial judgment against Trump that was imposed in that
(07:07):
civil case brought by New York State Attorney General Letitia James. Now,
initially the penalty was three hundred and fifty five million dollars.
Trump appealed, and while the appeals going on, interest was accruing,
so the amount he owed had ballooned to five hundred
million plus. That number is now zero after the five
judge appellate panel yesterday agreed that the penalty was excessive.
(07:31):
Trump and his sons were accused of artificially inflating the
value of their properties and business in order to secure
more favorable loan terms. Now, while the judges acknowledged and
upheld some of the claims made against Trump in that
first court case, this court, the suppellate court said, quote,
while harm certainly occurred, it was not the catasclismic, the
(07:52):
cataclysmic harm that can justify a nearly half billion dollar award.
Another judge didn't mince his words either. He went after
Attorney General James for bringing the case in the first place.
And this is what he said, and I'm gonna read
it all, and I'm gonna say, quote and read all
of this. He said plainly, her ultimate goal was not
(08:12):
market hygiene, but political hygiene. Ending with the derailment of
President Trump's political career and the destruction of his real
estate business. The voters have obviously rendered a verdict on
his political career. The bench today unanimously derails the effort
to destroy his business. End quote. Attorney General Letitia James,
(08:35):
by the way, I should note, has said she plans
to appeal this judgment. Continuing on the run now this
Friday morning with Grammy winner Lil nas X. He has
been arrested and hospitalized after police say they got a
call about a naked man roaming the streets around six
a m. Thursday morning. This was in the Studio City
(08:56):
area out in southern California, out in La Video. Is
now surfaced one in particular, TMZ was the one that
published it. But it shows Lil nas X walking down
the street in the middle of the street in Studio
City kind of doing a catwalk. And in the video,
Lil nas X, whose real name is Montero Lamont Hill,
is wearing only tidy whities and cowboy boots. Now police
(09:19):
arrives said Lil nas X charged at them. That part
we don't see in the video, but they say he
charged at them, and that's why he's now facing charges
of battery on a police officer. And then he was
taken to the hospital for a suspected overdose. Let's continue
now on the run, and the next leg brings us
back to New York, where there's been another confirmed death
tied to the Legionnaire's disease cluster. Here in the city.
(09:43):
A sixth person died and the number of confirmed cases
now has gone up to one hundred and eleven. Seven
people remain hospitalized. This outbreak has been confined to five
specific zip codes in Harlem. Health officials have traced it
to twelve cooling towers at ten buildings, a hospit among them. Now,
this person that's been identified as the sixth victim actually
(10:04):
died earlier this month and outside of New York what
was only discovered recently by a health department investigation. A
reminder here that Legionnaire's disease is a type of pneumonia
that has not passed from person to person, but rather
by breathing in small water droplets that have Lesionella bacteria
on them. Symptoms resemble the flu. You have coughs, headaches,
(10:26):
muscle eggs, shortness of breath as well. Continuing now on
the run, the next leg takes us down to Orlando
for what the mayor there calls a cruel political act.
After residents woke up yesterday the fine that a simple
and a sweet memorial to the victims of the Pulse
nightclub shooting had been removed in the middle of the night.
(10:47):
What this memorial was, It was just a sidewalk right
there in front of the Pulse nightclub and it was
rainbow colored. They had taken us up and painted it
in rainbow colors right outside the nightclub. This was in
honor of the LGBTQ plus community which was targeted at
that twenty sixteen mass shooting in which forty nine people
were killed. Now, at the time, that shooting was the
(11:08):
deadliest in US history. Now, that rainbow colored sidewalk has
now been painted over, and it was the Florida government
that did it. The State Transportation Agency told municipalities previously
that they would have to remove painted sidewalks, crosswalks and streets.
They said it's now prohibited, banned, and they made a
(11:30):
note that it shouldn't, in particular have any kind of
political statements attached to them, and if you do so,
you're going to risk losing state dollars. So this has
now been painted over. It happened in the middle of
the night, and it felt to a lot of people
they were trying to sneak and do this while people
were asleep, and to do this right up under them.
(11:50):
So this was the response at least from one state
senator who is openly gay. He put it this way,
there will be a rainbow mural nearby that is even bigger,
queerer and more colorful. Ah wait, you do. I thought
that was a good way to respond to that. We'll
(12:13):
stay with us here on this Friday morning run when
we come back. You windows seat people, you flyers, y'all
take y'all window seats seriously, to the point you're willing
to file class action lawsuits over them. Also, Cracker Barrel
has brought everybody together in their hate and John bon
(12:33):
Jovi is a grandpa for the first time. But that
wasn't the most surprising family news I heard about John
bon Jovi this week, Continuing now on this Friday morning
run with two airlines that are facing class action lawsuits
(12:58):
because they sold people window seat tickets and there was
no window. Delta and United are being sued because passengers
were pissed that they'd selected and even paid extra for
a window seat, but when they got to the airport,
got to their gate, they boarded the plane, they walked
down the aisle, they got to the seat, and they
discovered the window seat wasn't next to a blank wall.
(13:20):
Now maybe you've noticed this before, maybe it's happened to you,
but some seats along the wall of the plane don't
actually have a window, not a lot of them. It
really just comes down to basic design and engineering of
the plane. You gotta put air conditioning ducks, you gotta
put all kinds of mechanicals in some places, and sometimes
you can't put a window everywhere. That's essentially what it is.
But the lawsuits take issue with them still being called
(13:44):
window seats and claimed that some airlines will let people
know ahead of time that they are booking a windowless
window seat. I don't know if I've seen that before,
but no official response yet from the airlines, and we
will see where this goes. They want, I guess the
passengers to be compensated in some way for the money
that they spent and for the window they did not get.
(14:06):
Continuing on the run. Now, I encourage all of us,
can't we bring the temperature down just a little bit
over this cracker barrel logo. You might have heard and
maybe you've seen that the company unveiled a new logo.
What's the big deal? This is a company that's what
They have hundreds of stores in the country and they
(14:27):
it's it's kind of a country store and a country restaurant.
They have like some down home food, some comfort food,
and this is just the thing they've done. But they've
had this logos in nineteen seventy seven, but they unveiled
a new one, and after they did, their stock price
immediately dropped. They actually lost about one hundred million dollars
(14:47):
in market value yesterday alone, and then everybody piled on.
Republicans went after the company for being woke within a
number of prominent Democrats, including the DNC itself, said they
don't like the logo either. Different reasons, but they say, yeah,
we think it kind of sucks as well. But if
you haven't seen it, the new logo removes the image
(15:07):
of a man in overalls leaning on a barrel. You
have seen it because it's been there for the past
forty eight years. I know that because it was in
place the year of my birth nineteen seventy seven, so
it's been in place all that time. The new logo, though,
keeps the same color scheme and a similar font that
says Cracker Barrel, but it removes the guy in the
(15:30):
overalls and it removes the barrel. Now, the company has
been undergoing a seven hundred million dollar rebrand, with some
stores getting makeovers, but the company CEO contends that their
values have been changed. In the heart and soul of
Cracker Barrel have been changed either, it's it's just a logo.
Do you think good luck? Not mad? But is it?
(15:50):
Is it woke that somebody wants to modernize, somebody wants
to update or even upgrade, You could argue, but we
it's fine and it's funny, but some of it's gotten
a little much. Is this the final leg of the run? Here? Now? Hey,
all right, final leg of the run now, and the
headlines everywhere say that actress Millie Bobby Brown is a
(16:11):
first time mom after adopting a little girl with her husband.
The headline for me is that the little girl from
Stranger Things is the daughter in law of John bon Jovi.
Did y'all know that? Okay? I don't keep up on
a lot of celebrity news. I don't keep up on
a lot of celebrity couples. I knew she was dating someone,
(16:32):
I knew she was married. I did not put this together.
So if you all were ahead of me on this, fine,
But yes, the little girl, the star from the Stranger
Things is the daughter in law now of John bon Jovi,
and has been for a while. She's been engaged and
married and been a relationship for years with this guy.
But I am just getting caught up with this idea
(16:54):
that this is now her father in law, John bon Jovi. Anyway,
but she is married to Jake bon Jovi, who is
the son of the legendary rocker John Bonjovi and his wife.
They have four kids. Actually, I think Jake is the
second to youngest. He's twenty three years old. Millie Bobby
Brown is twenty one years old. But they made the
announcement yesterday on social media that they had welcomed a
(17:14):
quote sweet baby Girl through adoption. They signed off in
a very cool way that said, and then there were three.
All right, this is the point where we usually I
say something we like for you to consider. It is
our quote of the day. Here's the thing. Roeboch is
(17:35):
usually the one that puts together the quotes. And I'll
be honest with y'all, it's been kind of a scramble
last couple days doing this on my own. And sure
enough sat down to record, and about two stories ago,
I just realized, damn, I forgot to pluck a quote.
So I got nothing. I didn't go back and find one.
(17:57):
I could probably dig one out of my mind something
right quick. I'm trying to think of a Bible verse
or something I could give you. Timothy five twenty three,
how about a Bible verse for you folks going into
the weekend, And the Lord said, drink no longer water,
(18:18):
but use a little wine for thy stomach sake. Take
that with you today is your quote of the day.
And going into the weekend. And again I apologize, robok
hears she always does the quotes I forgot to do it,
So the best I got for you is a Bible
verse that's off the top of my head. First Timpathy
five twenty three, and the Lord said, drink no longer water,
(18:38):
but use a little wine for thy stomach sake. And
with that, folks, I know y'all relieved. Robot will be
back on Monday, but for now, I'm TJ. Holmes. Always
appreciate you running with us. Talk to the unswer.
