Speaker 1 (00:01):
Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast. Good morning, everyone,
and welcome to your Monday Morning Run. It's Monday, September first.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
I'm Ami Robots and I'm TJ Holmes. Happy Labor Day
to you all when we celebrate the American worker, and
every single one of us on this day are working
to make sure we never have to work again. And
it could happen for all of us tonight, Robes. All
of our dreams are coming together today.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Possibly we could become billionaires.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Still end billionaire. It's up to one point one, y'all.
It's been going on since May thirty first. But yes,
there will be another drawing tonight for a life changing
amount of money.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
My goodness. Can you go online and buy Powerball tickets?
I need to find out how we can get our
hands on one because we're not in the States.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Yeah, but because we aren't in the States, we might
not be allowed to buy as well.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
I don't think you can investigate. So we can't become
billionaires tonight.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Then we can.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
You got to be in it to win it. It
will be on the podcast tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
But folks, yes, I know you all. Powerball Fever is
gripping the nation, So good luck with that. Tonight we'll
tell you what's at stake, how much money you can
take home in that cash lump. Some Also as the reminder,
looking at that phone right now, top right corner, little
button says follow click that at the top of our page.
You can get our updates anytime. You don't have to
go looking for them.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Yes, and we have updates throughout the day, each and
every day. But on this morning's run, we're also going
to be talking about a tragic story out of Houston.
A child was shot and killed while playing a prank
that a lot of us played, that I absolutely played
when I was a kid. Plus a developing story overseas.
Hundreds are feared dead in an early morning earthquake that
(01:44):
happened in Afghanistan.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Also on the run this morning, police investigating a death
at the Burning Man Festival, Rudy Giuliani involved in a
serious accident, Pope Leo's first comments on American gun violence,
and now what after Trump's tariffs were ruled illegal?
Speaker 1 (02:01):
All right, we'll get into all of that in just
a moment, but we begin our run with today Labor Day.
If somebody walked up to you and asked, hey, what's
the story behind this holiday? Do you have the answer?
Speaker 2 (02:14):
How far would you have gotten? I would say, well,
it celebrate to the American workers.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
That's exactly as where my answer would have started and
then finished.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
How long has it been around? Don't know who started it?
Don't know why do we do it on Monday? Not
sure why September?
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Don't know.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Okay, you're gonna have all these answers now, folks, because
here are your cliff notes. Labor Day is observed, of course,
every first Monday of September. It's a celebration of the
American worker. That's what we all know. But it started
out as a grassroots movement that eventually led to Labor
Day observations in several states in the late eighteen hundreds.
(02:49):
So this started with states, not the federal government.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Okay, So Oregon was the first state to pass a
Labor Day observance, and then Colorado, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and
then New York. The first Labor Day raid was in
New York in eighteen eighty two, where workers took unpaid
time off and marched from city Hall to Union Square.
Didn't know that and it wouldn't be until eighteen ninety
four that Congress passed the law that made Labor Day
(03:13):
a federal holiday.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
So Monday in September, why the first Monday in September.
Don't have a real good answer for this one, no
real significance. They were trying to develop this holiday, so
when can we do one that wouldn't get in the
way of another holiday? September falls right there in between.
They thought fourth of July Thanksgiving. That's nice, and the
(03:34):
weather is kind of nice around this time, so they
kind of picked it out of convenience and trying to
get the most attention. And there you.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Good job lawmakers for once. Wow. Geez, Sorry that was
extra cynical, all right. Next up on the run, we're
gonna head overseas where more than six hundred people as
of this recording, are feared dead and more than fifteen
hundred others injured after a six point zero magnitude earthquake
struck Afghanis and.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Hidden the remote mountainous area near the border with Pakistan,
so it's been difficult for rescue teams to try to
get the full extent of the damage there and even
get a full understanding and just how much loss of life.
A massive search and rescue effort is underway right now.
Reports some entire villages under rubble and landslides cutting off
areas from help.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Yeah, the earthquake shook buildings from Cobble to Islamabad and
at least five aftershocks have been rocking the area, ranging
from four point five to five point two magnitude. And
the quake hit in the middle of the night ride
around midnight local time while most people were sleeping, and
it struck at a shallow depth. I was trying to
understand this, but it was just five miles down. So
that makes this type of an earthquake far more destructive.
(04:43):
Even with a moderate magnitude six point zero might not
sound like that much, but because it was such a
shallow earthquake, it is devastating. And right now, I mean,
if you go and look at some of the news outlets,
there is live reporting and it's just new images, new
numbers are coming in. But this is a top situation
where it happened. These were areas and villages that were
hard to get to when the roads were good and passable.
(05:07):
Now it's incredibly difficult to get to these people who
need help.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
That's a really good point to make, because sometimes you
do hear six point zero and they'll say, okay, a
moderate one, not the eight point oh's we're used to hearing.
But it does. It makes all the difference of how
shallow they are. That's devastating. I actually didn't know that
detail until you just pointed out there. All right, let's
continue on this next leg of our run. It takes
us to DC, and of course here we are, just
(05:30):
as businesses and consumers are recovering from the tariff whiplash
of the past several months, a court has now stepped
in and said, you know what, those tariffs are actually illegal.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
An appeals court ruled on Friday that Trump did not
have the authority to issue his Liberation Day tariffs, which
are the centerpiece of his second term and his economic agenda.
Those tariffs set off an international trade war that finally
seemed to be settling down as the US has reached
trade deals with some countries. Yes, there are still some
negotiations that are still going on with others, but it
(06:03):
seems to be wrapping up.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Yes we are in the midst of this still, but
yes it's supposed to be wrapping up. But now this
Court says they are illegal. The tariffs, though, are going
to remain in place. That the administration does have about
a month now to give a response to this ruling. Meanwhile,
President Trump has already said he wants the Supreme Court
to step in and settle the matter. Continue on this
(06:27):
run now, and President Trump had to speak up. It
was a he found himself in an odd position this weekend,
had to give some of life statements after unfounded rumors
spread on the internet that he had died. Where is
Trump and Trump is dead? We're trending hashtags over the weekend? Wow?
Speaker 1 (06:48):
All right, Well, not exactly sure where this all originated,
but the President had not had any official public appearances
since his cabinet meeting last Wednesday, and he didn't have
anything on his public schedule for the holiday weekend. The
President was eventually spotted leaving the White House yesterday and
then on the golf course before that, though he did
write this on social media. Never felt better in my life. Also,
(07:10):
DC is a crime free zone.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
That was the message.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
You got to get that in.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
You know, he is matter what is due messaging and
I mean he's just a producer, but that's what you do.
You jump on the thing everybody's talking about. You come
in on that and then you get your message in
that you.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Want to get check and check all.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
We continue on this run now on this Monday morning,
and a homicide investigation underway after a man was found
dead in a pool of blood at the Burning Man Festival.
It's all according to police, but as a festival attendee
found the man around nine o'clock Saturday night, which was
around the same time with a big moment of the
festival when they light that giant man on fire.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
The annual arts and music festival attracts tens of thousands
to Black Rock Desert. This is in Nevada and it
wraps up today and attendees were told to be vigilant
even though this appears to be a singular crime. But
this is going to be a difficult crime to investigate
because everyone leaves once the festival's over all.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Your suspects, all your evidence. Everybody goes their own way.
And I included that they're this sound from our quote
from a law enforcement officials that this is a complicated
crime because we're investigating in a city that is going
to be gone in a few days. Wow, what do
you do, are you suspect? You can't? How do you
do that? So they hadn't even identified as of this
recording who the victim actually is.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Wow, and how can they possibly tell attendees? It appears
to be a singular crime.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Right, but the festival went on for another day plus.
That's frightening after that, all right, we'll continue on the
run now. Next leg takes us to the Vatican, where
Pope Leo called for an end to the pandemic of
arms while praying for the Minneapolis Catholic school shooting victims
on Sunday. This is during Mass on Sunday. Pope Leo
spoke English as he denounced that left two children dead
(08:59):
and twenty other injured. They were all shot. While praying at.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Mass, so Chicago born Pope Leo told the crowd in
Saint Peter's Square, our prayers for the victims of the
tragic shooting during a school mass in the American state
of Minnesota. We hold in our prayers that countless children
killed and injured every day around the world. Let us
plead God to stop the pandemic of arms, large and small,
which infects our world.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
The Minneapolis shooter fired one hundred and sixteen rifle rounds
through the church's stained glass windows before dying by suicide.
Right after news broke of the tragedy, Pope Leo did
not make any political commentary about guns in America. Instead
sent the telegram that said he was saddened by the
terrible tragedy and sent his heartfelt condolences and the assurance
(09:46):
of spiritual closeness to all those affected.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Yeah, so it was the first time he decided to
make a public stance against guns, or at least to
have some sort of control over the epidemic. The pandemic,
he called it, is certainly taking over our world, all right.
Next up on the Run, we're going to head to Houston,
speaking of gun violence, where an eleven year old boy
was shot and killed after playing a childhood prank. The
(10:10):
boy had been ringing doorbells and running away with a
group of friends. It's all part of a game called
doorbell ditch or ding Dong ditch.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Now, a witness said they saw the boy running from
a house after ringing the doorbell, just before police say
someone chased him from the home and shot him in
the back. Now, this happened around eleven o'clock at night
Saturday night. He was rushed at the hospital, where he
ultimately died from his injuries.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Police questioned and then released a person from the home,
and so far no arrests have been made. That is puzzling,
but investigators say they're looking at surveillance video and they
are preparing for a possible murder charge against the shooter.
Can't imagine how it's just possible. I mean, the details
of this seem pretty black and white now. The doorbell
(10:55):
prank has been around for ages. I absolutely remember doing
this as a kid a couple times friends, not maybe
at eleven o'clock at night, but it's been popularized on TikTok,
so a lot of these kids will do it. They'll
be videoing it or filming it while they do it,
and that's led to several recent tragedies.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
So May, we had a Virginia man was charged with
second degree murder after shooting and killing a teenager who
was filming the doorbell prank. In twenty twenty, California man
sentenced to life in prison he killed three teenagers by
crashing his car into them after they had just pranked him.
I don't know the details of that one. Do you
(11:33):
know what time of day that one might have been.
And this is why this is kind of key and
police have been warning, they say, please talk to your kids.
And why this isn't funny because as an adult in
certain parts of this country where you're allowed to keep
guns in your house, if at midnight, they're not just
ringing a doorbell, sometimes they're banging as if you got
(11:53):
the police at your door. It scares the hell out
of somebody. They hop up, see somebody running. You don't
know somebody's there to attack, thank you or whatever else.
This is just it's terrible. But to chase the kid
down the street, I don't understand.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Yeah, that's that's successive. And so yes, we will be
following up on that story to see what happens.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Down the street. And no one has been arrested chasing
a ten year old down the street. It's shooting him
in this.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
It's hard back, hard to imagine, right all right. Next
up on the Run, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani
is recovering from a serious car accident that left him
with numerous injuries, including a fractured vertebrae. The accident happened
in New Hampshire over the weekend.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
According to believes, Giuliani was the passenger in a vehicle
driven by a staffer when another vehicle hit them from
behind at quote high speed. The other vehicle, according to police,
was driven by a nineteen year old woman. That woman,
Juliani and his staffer were all taken to the hospital.
Their injuries are described as non life threatening, but.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
In addition to the fractured vertebrae, Juliani's office says he
had multiple lacerations and contusions, several broken bones, and injury
to his left arm and his lower leg. The details
about how this all went down are puzzling.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
And the police say they are continuing to investigate every
aspect of the accident. But how this went down is
that police say Giuliani had stopped to help an alleged
domestic violence victim who had flagged him down on the road.
Is that how you read it as well? Yes, okay,
so that's the scenario we're given. He then called nine
(13:25):
to one to one at some point to alert police
and stayed on the scene until police responded. Now, police
did point out that he stayed until they left, he
left and then the accident happened. They pointed out, they
don't believe this was a targeted attack, and Robes, I
haven't seen anywhere if they've connected. Was it the same
woman that hit him?
Speaker 1 (13:45):
They've conted no. But it's just bizarre because they've made
sure to include the fact that he had helped this
woman and then said they didn't think that the accident
or the it was an attack that targeted I don't know.
It's very confusing. Why bring up that detail then, yeah,
it is not connected to know what he.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Was doing ahead of time before he had this accident.
It's bizarre. It doesn't make any sense. And maybe it
happened exactly what it sounds like. But hey, certainly hope
he's okay. What eighty one years old? Yeah at this point, well,
certainly hope at least he's okay. We'll stay with us
on this Monday Morning Run when we come back. It
might be one of the final segments Roboc and I
ever do on Morning Run, because after we win this
(14:29):
billion dollars tonight, you will never hear from us again.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Welcome back to this Labor Day edition of our Monday
Morning Run. And maybe none of us or at least
one of us won't have to labor much longer, because
you got to be in it to win it. And
if you are interested in becoming a billionaire and never
having to labor again. The powerball jackpot has has now
reached one point billion, one point one billion dollars. See,
(15:05):
I even had a hard time saying it. It's so
much cash it one of us might, did you is
this I've met to the listener. Obviously we would both
share it also. Now okay, yeah, of course.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Sorright my head protecting my assets, all right.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Well, once again, there was no jackpot winner after Saturday's
nine hundred and fifty million dollar drawing. So now that
jackpot has swelled up to one point one million.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
So the cash pay out now four hundred and ninety
eight point four million. If you want the cash, that's
what you're gonna have in your account after the government
takes some of that. Well, there has not been a
jackpot winner since May thirty first. Now next drawing tonight,
one point one billion dollars now the eleventh largest jackpot
(15:52):
of all time. It's also one of only thirteen times
that the lottery has ever gone over a billion dollars.
All of those times robes happened in the past ten
years after they changed the odds. They changed the odds.
They went from one in one hundred and seventy five
million to one in two hundred and ninety two million.
(16:14):
They did that on purpose to increase these jackpots, to
get people interested. Then gets you to buy tickets.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
I didn't realize they did this. They increased the number
of white ball choices from fifty nine to sixty nine.
Then they decreased the powerball number from thirty five to
twenty six bars.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Wow, it changed the odds. It makes it harder easier
to win smaller prizes, but harder to win the jackpot.
And the only time a lot of people buy tickets.
You and I and a lot of us don't pay
attention until it gets to the seven hundred and fifty
billion dollar mark, so they needed to increase sales. It's working.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
Well, we have to figure this out. How we can
try to purchase a ticket.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
I want to have? Oh, we cat able to can
buy it for us?
Speaker 1 (16:59):
Oh yeah, that's right. Okay. Do we trust her?
Speaker 2 (17:01):
That is an absolute no.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Na, she would definitely split it.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
She's graduated from college. Anything with us.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Who paid for college. She owes me. All right, we
would like you to consider this as you go about
your day on this Labor Day today. Our quote of
the day comes from Neil Donald Walsh that is an
American author, and he says, this life begins at the
end of your comfort zone. What do you think about that?
Speaker 2 (17:28):
That's great? What is isn't that the idea growth? Nothing
ever happens without pain discomfort. Man, if you are comfortable
right now, you ain't living at all. But we all
seem to be fighting trying to get comfortable. We want
to get settled.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Everyone's trying to avoid discomfort at all costs. And yet
it's only when you go through it and you push
yourself through pain, pass pain, that you actually get that
big gang. Whether it's climbing a mountain, running a half marathon,
making a relationship, work, it's all uncomfortable sometimes.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Even going for the promotion, trying a new career, launching
a new product, whatever it is. Discomfort. All right, I'm
you know on my movie quotes, this is one. I'm
sorry it's a James Bond movie, but he said, what's
the point of living if you can't feel alive? This
reminds me of that what are we doing day in
day out trying to get comfortable? Just don't want to
(18:24):
be uneasy at all.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
You always say, I just want to get settled. That's
like that's one of your famous quotes that you say,
but no, but it's true, and I love this. So
it's just a reminder for everybody get out there and
do some living today because life begins at the end
of your comfort zone. Love that. As if you have
some extra time today, you could check out our weekly column.
(18:48):
It's dropped again. It's Monday. It's on Yahoo in the
life section, and we have a reader who asks us
a question and we give our best advice. Our reader
asks at least tells us that she fell in love
with the twenty five, a man twenty five years older
than her. She was a freshman in college. This all
happened thirteen years ago. It didn't work out then, but
(19:10):
now this man who's twenty five years older than her
has stepped back into her life. Should she try again
now that she's older?
Speaker 2 (19:20):
And we have thoughts, thoughts as columnists and thoughts as parents,
So please check out what we had to say. And
by all means, chime in because then we come back
on we do an episode in which we read you
all's comments and your advice to her. So we always
appreciate you all running with us. But for now, Happy
(19:41):
Labor Day to you all.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
I'm TJ and I'm Amy Roboch. Have a great day, everybody,
Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast. Good morning, everyone,
and welcome to your Monday Morning Run. It's Monday, September first.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
I'm Ami Robots and I'm TJ Holmes. Happy Labor Day
to you all when we celebrate the American worker, and
every single one of us on this day are working
to make sure we never have to work again. And
it could happen for all of us tonight, Robes. All
of our dreams are coming together today.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Possibly we could become billionaires.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Still end billionaire. It's up to one point one, y'all.
It's been going on since May thirty first. But yes,
there will be another drawing tonight for a life changing
amount of money.

and now what after Trump's tariffs were ruled illegal?
Speaker 1 (02:01):
All right, we'll get into all of that in just
a moment, but we begin our run with today Labor Day.
If somebody walked up to you and asked, hey, what's
the story behind this holiday? Do you have the answer?

do hear six point zero and they'll say, okay, a
moderate one, not the eight point oh's we're used to hearing.
But it does. It makes all the difference of how
shallow they are. That's devastating. I actually didn't know that
detail until you just pointed out there. All right, let's
continue on this next leg of our run. It takes
us to DC, and of course here we are, just
(05:30):
as businesses and consumers are recovering from the tariff whiplash
of the past several months, a court has now stepped
in and said, you know what, those tariffs are actually illegal.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
An appeals court ruled on Friday that Trump did not
have the authority to issue his Liberation Day tariffs, which
are the centerpiece of his second term and his economic agenda.
Those tariffs set off an international trade war that finally
seemed to be settling down as the US has reached
trade deals with some countries. Yes, there are still some
negotiations that are still going on with others, but it
(06:03):
seems to be wrapping up.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Yes we are in the midst of this still, but
yes it's supposed to be wrapping up. But now this
Court says they are illegal. The tariffs, though, are going
to remain in place. That the administration does have about
a month now to give a response to this ruling. Meanwhile,
President Trump has already said he wants the Supreme Court
to step in and settle the matter. Continue on this
(06:27):
run now, and President Trump had to speak up. It
was a he found himself in an odd position this weekend,
had to give some of life statements after unfounded rumors
spread on the internet that he had died. Where is
Trump and Trump is dead? We're trending hashtags over the weekend? Wow?
Speaker 1 (06:48):
All right, Well, not exactly sure where this all originated,
but the President had not had any official public appearances
since his cabinet meeting last Wednesday, and he didn't have
anything on his public schedule for the holiday weekend. The
President was eventually spotted leaving the White House yesterday and
then on the golf course before that, though he did
write this on social media. Never felt better in my life. Also,
(07:10):
DC is a crime free zone.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
That was the message.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
You got to get that in.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
You know, he is matter what is due messaging and
I mean he's just a producer, but that's what you do.
You jump on the thing everybody's talking about. You come
in on that and then you get your message in
that you.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Want to get check and check all.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
We continue on this run now on this Monday morning,
and a homicide investigation underway after a man was found
dead in a pool of blood at the Burning Man Festival.
It's all according to police, but as a festival attendee
found the man around nine o'clock Saturday night, which was
around the same time with a big moment of the
festival when they light that giant man on fire.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
The annual arts and music festival attracts tens of thousands
to Black Rock Desert. This is in Nevada and it
wraps up today and attendees were told to be vigilant
even though this appears to be a singular crime. But
this is going to be a difficult crime to investigate
because everyone leaves once the festival's over all.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Your suspects, all your evidence. Everybody goes their own way.
And I included that they're this sound from our quote
from a law enforcement officials that this is a complicated
crime because we're investigating in a city that is going
to be gone in a few days. Wow, what do
you do, are you suspect? You can't? How do you
do that? So they hadn't even identified as of this
recording who the victim actually is.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Wow, and how can they possibly tell attendees? It appears
to be a singular crime.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Right, but the festival went on for another day plus.
That's frightening after that, all right, we'll continue on the
run now. Next leg takes us to the Vatican, where
Pope Leo called for an end to the pandemic of
arms while praying for the Minneapolis Catholic school shooting victims
on Sunday. This is during Mass on Sunday. Pope Leo
spoke English as he denounced that left two children dead
(08:59):
and twenty other injured. They were all shot. While praying at.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Mass, so Chicago born Pope Leo told the crowd in
Saint Peter's Square, our prayers for the victims of the
tragic shooting during a school mass in the American state
of Minnesota. We hold in our prayers that countless children
killed and injured every day around the world. Let us
plead God to stop the pandemic of arms, large and small,
which infects our world.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
The Minneapolis shooter fired one hundred and sixteen rifle rounds
through the church's stained glass windows before dying by suicide.
Right after news broke of the tragedy, Pope Leo did
not make any political commentary about guns in America. Instead
sent the telegram that said he was saddened by the
terrible tragedy and sent his heartfelt condolences and the assurance
(09:46):
of spiritual closeness to all those affected.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Yeah, so it was the first time he decided to
make a public stance against guns, or at least to
have some sort of control over the epidemic. The pandemic,
he called it, is certainly taking over our world, all right.
Next up on the Run, we're going to head to Houston,
speaking of gun violence, where an eleven year old boy
was shot and killed after playing a childhood prank. The
(10:10):
boy had been ringing doorbells and running away with a
group of friends. It's all part of a game called
doorbell ditch or ding Dong ditch.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Now, a witness said they saw the boy running from
a house after ringing the doorbell, just before police say
someone chased him from the home and shot him in
the back. Now, this happened around eleven o'clock at night
Saturday night. He was rushed at the hospital, where he
ultimately died from his injuries.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Police questioned and then released a person from the home,
and so far no arrests have been made. That is puzzling,
but investigators say they're looking at surveillance video and they
are preparing for a possible murder charge against the shooter.
Can't imagine how it's just possible. I mean, the details
of this seem pretty black and white now. The doorbell
(10:55):
prank has been around for ages. I absolutely remember doing
this as a kid a couple times friends, not maybe
at eleven o'clock at night, but it's been popularized on TikTok,
so a lot of these kids will do it. They'll
be videoing it or filming it while they do it,
and that's led to several recent tragedies.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
So May, we had a Virginia man was charged with
second degree murder after shooting and killing a teenager who
was filming the doorbell prank. In twenty twenty, California man
sentenced to life in prison he killed three teenagers by
crashing his car into them after they had just pranked him.
I don't know the details of that one. Do you
(11:33):
know what time of day that one might have been.
And this is why this is kind of key and
police have been warning, they say, please talk to your kids.
And why this isn't funny because as an adult in
certain parts of this country where you're allowed to keep
guns in your house, if at midnight, they're not just
ringing a doorbell, sometimes they're banging as if you got
(11:53):
the police at your door. It scares the hell out
of somebody. They hop up, see somebody running. You don't
know somebody's there to attack, thank you or whatever else.
This is just it's terrible. But to chase the kid
down the street, I don't understand.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Yeah, that's that's successive. And so yes, we will be
following up on that story to see what happens.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Down the street. And no one has been arrested chasing
a ten year old down the street. It's shooting him
in this.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
It's hard back, hard to imagine, right all right. Next
up on the Run, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani
is recovering from a serious car accident that left him
with numerous injuries, including a fractured vertebrae. The accident happened
in New Hampshire over the weekend.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
According to believes, Giuliani was the passenger in a vehicle
driven by a staffer when another vehicle hit them from
behind at quote high speed. The other vehicle, according to police,
was driven by a nineteen year old woman. That woman,
Juliani and his staffer were all taken to the hospital.
Their injuries are described as non life threatening, but.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
In addition to the fractured vertebrae, Juliani's office says he
had multiple lacerations and contusions, several broken bones, and injury
to his left arm and his lower leg. The details
about how this all went down are puzzling.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
And the police say they are continuing to investigate every
aspect of the accident. But how this went down is
that police say Giuliani had stopped to help an alleged
domestic violence victim who had flagged him down on the road.
Is that how you read it as well? Yes, okay,
so that's the scenario we're given. He then called nine
(13:25):
to one to one at some point to alert police
and stayed on the scene until police responded. Now, police
did point out that he stayed until they left, he
left and then the accident happened. They pointed out, they
don't believe this was a targeted attack, and Robes, I
haven't seen anywhere if they've connected. Was it the same
woman that hit him?
Speaker 1 (13:45):
They've conted no. But it's just bizarre because they've made
sure to include the fact that he had helped this
woman and then said they didn't think that the accident
or the it was an attack that targeted I don't know.
It's very confusing. Why bring up that detail then, yeah,
it is not connected to know what he.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Was doing ahead of time before he had this accident.
It's bizarre. It doesn't make any sense. And maybe it
happened exactly what it sounds like. But hey, certainly hope
he's okay. What eighty one years old? Yeah at this point, well,
certainly hope at least he's okay. We'll stay with us
on this Monday Morning Run when we come back. It
might be one of the final segments Roboc and I
ever do on Morning Run, because after we win this
(14:29):
billion dollars tonight, you will never hear from us again.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Welcome back to this Labor Day edition of our Monday
Morning Run. And maybe none of us or at least
one of us won't have to labor much longer, because
you got to be in it to win it. And
if you are interested in becoming a billionaire and never
having to labor again. The powerball jackpot has has now
reached one point billion, one point one billion dollars. See,
(15:05):
I even had a hard time saying it. It's so
much cash it one of us might, did you is
this I've met to the listener. Obviously we would both
share it also. Now okay, yeah, of course.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Sorright my head protecting my assets, all right.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Well, once again, there was no jackpot winner after Saturday's
nine hundred and fifty million dollar drawing. So now that
jackpot has swelled up to one point one million.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
So the cash pay out now four hundred and ninety
eight point four million. If you want the cash, that's
what you're gonna have in your account after the government
takes some of that. Well, there has not been a
jackpot winner since May thirty first. Now next drawing tonight,
one point one billion dollars now the eleventh largest jackpot
(15:52):
of all time. It's also one of only thirteen times
that the lottery has ever gone over a billion dollars.
All of those times robes happened in the past ten
years after they changed the odds. They changed the odds.
They went from one in one hundred and seventy five
million to one in two hundred and ninety two million.
(16:14):
They did that on purpose to increase these jackpots, to
get people interested. Then gets you to buy tickets.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
I didn't realize they did this. They increased the number
of white ball choices from fifty nine to sixty nine.
Then they decreased the powerball number from thirty five to
twenty six bars.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Wow, it changed the odds. It makes it harder easier
to win smaller prizes, but harder to win the jackpot.
And the only time a lot of people buy tickets.
You and I and a lot of us don't pay
attention until it gets to the seven hundred and fifty
billion dollar mark, so they needed to increase sales. It's working.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
Well, we have to figure this out. How we can
try to purchase a ticket.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
I want to have? Oh, we cat able to can
buy it for us?
Speaker 1 (16:59):
Oh yeah, that's right. Okay. Do we trust her?
Speaker 2 (17:01):
That is an absolute no.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Na, she would definitely split it.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
She's graduated from college. Anything with us.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Who paid for college. She owes me. All right, we
would like you to consider this as you go about
your day on this Labor Day today. Our quote of
the day comes from Neil Donald Walsh that is an
American author, and he says, this life begins at the
end of your comfort zone. What do you think about that?
Speaker 2 (17:28):
That's great? What is isn't that the idea growth? Nothing
ever happens without pain discomfort. Man, if you are comfortable
right now, you ain't living at all. But we all
seem to be fighting trying to get comfortable. We want
to get settled.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Everyone's trying to avoid discomfort at all costs. And yet
it's only when you go through it and you push
yourself through pain, pass pain, that you actually get that
big gang. Whether it's climbing a mountain, running a half marathon,
making a relationship, work, it's all uncomfortable sometimes.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Even going for the promotion, trying a new career, launching
a new product, whatever it is. Discomfort. All right, I'm
you know on my movie quotes, this is one. I'm
sorry it's a James Bond movie, but he said, what's
the point of living if you can't feel alive? This
reminds me of that what are we doing day in
day out trying to get comfortable? Just don't want to
(18:24):
be uneasy at all.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
You always say, I just want to get settled. That's
like that's one of your famous quotes that you say,
but no, but it's true, and I love this. So
it's just a reminder for everybody get out there and
do some living today because life begins at the end
of your comfort zone. Love that. As if you have
some extra time today, you could check out our weekly column.
(18:48):
It's dropped again. It's Monday. It's on Yahoo in the
life section, and we have a reader who asks us
a question and we give our best advice. Our reader
asks at least tells us that she fell in love
with the twenty five, a man twenty five years older
than her. She was a freshman in college. This all
happened thirteen years ago. It didn't work out then, but
(19:10):
now this man who's twenty five years older than her
has stepped back into her life. Should she try again
now that she's older?
Speaker 2 (19:20):
And we have thoughts, thoughts as columnists and thoughts as parents,
So please check out what we had to say. And
by all means, chime in because then we come back
on we do an episode in which we read you
all's comments and your advice to her. So we always
appreciate you all running with us. But for now, Happy
(19:41):
Labor Day to you all.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
I'm TJ and I'm Amy Roboch. Have a great day, everybody,
