Speaker 1 (00:01):
Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast. Good
morning everyone, thanks for joining us for today's morning run.
It's Wednesday, June eighteenth. I'm Amy Roboch.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
And I'm TJ. Holmes and on the run. This morning,
the battle begins that ominous response from Iran's supreme leader
after President Trump told him to unconditionally surrender in the
ongoing and now escalating Iran Israel conflict.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Today is the deadline for thirty six more countries to
meet the Trump Administration's demands or risk being added to
the President's travel band.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Also on the run this morning, Homeland Security Secretary Christy
Nome rushed to the hospital for an allergic reaction. Also,
Tyler Perry is defending himself against a two hundred and
sixty million dollars sexual assault lawsuit by an actor who
worked for.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Him, and all eyes back on that Lower Manhattan court
today to see if the judge and the Diddy trial
will excuse a second juror this week, as the prosecution
winds down its case against the former rap moochal.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Plus arrests made in what authorities call the largest jewelry
heist in American history. But where's all that.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Loot and a sad and surprising passing to tell you
about famed chef Anne Burrell with her signature spiked blonde hair,
has died at the age of fifty five.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
And also on the run this morning, Tom Cruise is
getting an oscar finally, Kelsey Grammer is getting ready to
be a new dad at seventy. Miami is getting a
reputation as a hockey town, and broadcast TV is getting
creamed by streaming services. We'll get into all that. A
couple of fun things today.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
All right, but we do begin our run overseas on
this Wednesday morning. The back and forth between Iran and
Israel continues for a sixth straight day, and if some
of the rhetoric is any indication things are just getting started.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Yeah. The two sides have been exchanging missile strike since
last Friday, when Israel launched preemptive attacks on Iran's nuclear program.
Sirens and smoke filled the air and tell l Aviv
and Tehran once again overnight, but no reports of casualties
as of this recording. Many citizens got the heads up
to evacuate some areas or go to shelters.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Meanwhile, Iran Supreme leader issued this simple statement, the battle begins.
And that comes after President Trump called for an unconditional
surrender by Iran. The President later issued this statement, and
you can decide whether or not it's a warning, but
the President said, oof, we know exactly where the so
called Supreme Leader is hiding. He is an easy target,
(02:31):
but is safe there. We are not going to take
him out, at least not for now. This after just
a few days ago Marco Rubio, the Secretary of State, saying, hey,
this isn't our war. We had nothing to do with this,
and now all of a sudden seems like we might
be getting involved, get.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Pulled into it. And that is absolutely a threat of
this thing escalating. Lokuran Israel open going back and forth
for years, absolutely mortal enemies, you could argue, but for
some reason over the year there has been I guess
a relative I won't call it peace, but I haven't
been at full scale war against each other. Now, this
is scary to see these pictures on TV every day
(03:10):
and some of this rhetoric.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
The rhetoric, and then to see that things are escalating,
they're going in the wrong direction. Absolutely all right.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
We're going to continue on the run now, and today
is deadline day. Trump administration has imposed this deadline today
on thirty six countries, most of them in Africa, to
commit to improve their citizens travel documentation and address their
citizens who are in the US illegally.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
If they don't, they risk being added to Trump's current
travel band that includes twelve countries. Now twenty five of
the thirty six countries are in Africa, and some of
them have been traditional US partners, some of them even
military partners, like Egypt and Djibouti. Liberia, Nigeria, and Ethiopia
also on that list.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
President Trump has said that some of the countries on
this new list have deficient screening and vetting, and others
have historically refused to take back their own citizens.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
All right. Next up on our run, Homeland Security Secretary
Christy Nome was rushed to the hospital yesterday after she
had what's being described only as an allergic reaction.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Yeah, we don't have any of those specifics here, but
the Department of Homeland Security said noam went to the
hospital out of an abundance of caution. Later now she
was alert and recovering, So I hope she's okay. Don't
have a lot, but she's been making headlines for some
bizarre reasons, certainly the press conference she had that the
senator was taken down and then the purse was stolen
(04:32):
long ago.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
She's made headlines for probably reasons she wasn't wishing for.
But she apparently has a press conference scheduled for later today,
so we'll see if she is out of the hospital
and doing that.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
You know, so Homeland security does, excuse me, a secret
service does great work, but her purse has been stolen,
a senator rushed her at a damn press conference, and
now they can't protect her from a food allergy.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Maybe no, but you know, there was an interesting headline
music saying she was at some lab where there was bioterrorism,
not that there was any link, and yet they still
kind of suggested there could be a link. So we
don't have any other details, but of course if we
get them, we will pass them along to you. Next
up on our run, Tyler Perry has been hit with
a two hundred sixty million dollars sexual assault lawsuit by
(05:21):
an actor who worked on one of his TV shows,
and Perry's response to the lawsuit, he says, it's a scam.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Yeah, the actor's name is Derek Dixon. He had a
role on Perry's beet show called The Oval. Now. In
his lawsuit, Dixon claims he was subjected to sexual harassment,
sexual assault, workplace harassment, and retaliation after he refused to
reciprocate Perry's advances.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
In his word, Perry used his professional power for sexual leverage,
providing vulnerable men with acting roles, contracts, even cars and money,
and then put them in fear of losing everything if
they didn't engage in Perry's perverted desire for sexual gratification.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Yeah, Perry quickly and strongly called bs on this lawsuit
and a statement from his attorney. The attorney says this quote.
This is an individual who got close to Tyler Perry
for what now appears to be nothing more than setting
up a scam. But Tyler will not be shaken down,
and we are confident these fabricated claims of harassment will fail.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Just feels like it's like another day, another sexual assault
or harassment lawsuit. It's overwhelming at times. And let's move
on now to another significant case that we have been
reporting on daily. Next up on our run today, as
the day prosecutors in the Diddy trial thought they might
rest their case, but now it looks like that will
(06:40):
not happen after testimony from one witness went long yesterday.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Yeah, that witness is an agent with the US Attorney's office,
and this witness has been meticulously and at times boringly
connecting the dots of travel itineraries, bank statements, credit card statements,
tech messages, and so on, all to show that Sean
Combs was the one organ and financing the so called
free colls. Of course, this is meticulous work. You gotta
(07:05):
go through all this paperwork, step back step, connect the
dots with some The Washington Post reporter called it dry.
This is what this testimony was, but it has to
be done. The government now says it doesn't expect a
rapids case before Friday. And remember that it is no
court tomorrow because it's Juneteenth.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Yes, and dry is relative though to the rest of
what we've heard, which is perhaps juicy would be one
way to describe it. All Right, here's what we're expecting
to hear today in court. Brendan Paul, a former assistant
to Diddy, will take the stand. He has been granted
immunity for his testimony. Also, the judge has yet to
address that issue with a second juror that the court
(07:42):
has been investigating for possibly discussing the case with a colleague,
and that juror could potentially be removed from the jury
if the judge finds that his actions were not according
to his instructions.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Then he would be the second juror to be dismissed
this week. Remember another juror was dismissed for inconceit distancies
and his answer to a very simple question, where do
you live? There was some question of whether he was
full time in New York or full time in New Jersey.
So he is off the case. If the prosecution wraps
by Friday, the defense says it will need two to
five days to put on its case. So yes, Robe
(08:15):
does we say there? It is possible that the jury
and the Diddy trial could be deliberating as early as
next week.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
All right, Next up on our run, Seven men have
been indicted for pulling off what authorities say is the
largest jewelry heist in American history, one hundred million dollars
in gold, rubies, emeralds, diamonds, and luxury watches.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
But despite the indictments and the arrest. We still don't
know where most of that one hundred million dollars in
loot is right now. Authorities announced the indictments yesterday, calling
the men part of a professional and organized group of
thieves that robbed a BRINKX truck back in twenty twenty
two in California. So how exactly robes did they pull
this off?
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Well, the details TJ are very incredible. Authorities say, after
we're doing a couple days of recon at a jewelry
show in the Bay Area, the men followed a Brinks
truck leaving the show. That truck had seventy three bags
full of precious jewelry. The men then tailed the Brinks
truck for three hundred miles waited for it to make
a stop at a gas station in a remote community.
(09:18):
When the Brinks driver and another guard went inside the
gas station, the thieves struck.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
It sounds so simple in its execution, but get this, folks.
No guns, no hostages, no injuries, no witnesses. This is
some stuff you see in Oceans eleven or something. To
pull this off with no violence, The men grabbed twenty
four of the seventy three bags and disappeared. They think
maybe they only grabbed twenty four because they had lookouts
(09:44):
and knew that's all the time they had to get
which also suggests these guys are pros now authlready say
they recovered some of the jewelry, but don't know what
happened to the rest of it or how the men
might have capitalized. They didn't go out and start buying
lavish things. They don't know where it is.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
And how did they get into the Brinks truck.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
They would not release that information. And you can imagine why.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
I understand because I'm thinking this is an armored vehicle
and if it was in some way vulnerable, you would
think that if you had a driver and another guard,
one of them should have probably stayed with the truck, right.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
You know, if you're in the middle of nowhere at
night still as a Brinks truck operator, you still have
to follow procedure. I just left the door unlocked.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
I would imagine that that is against protocol. Both of
the men left to go inside and left the truck unattended.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Oh well, well, we're gonna ttinue on the run here
with a sad and really shocking news of the death
of Anne Burrell, chef Anne Burrell died at the age
of fifty five yesterday. Popular and ever bubbly, Barrell rose
to fame and star of Worst Cooks in America, became
a staple on the Food Network, and you could not
(10:54):
miss her. She had that trademark spiked blonde hair. Can
we call it platinum?
Speaker 1 (10:58):
It was, yes, it was, yes, it was platinum.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
For sure, had that hair. But she also had that
huge smile and just an infectious laugh in any time
you heard, she just belting it out. So she was
just such a big personality.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Yeah, she was unmistakable. She was remarkable. Yeah, and just
when you if you look her up, you'll say, oh,
my gosh, I totally know who that is.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
You might know the name, but.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
You know the face. Burrell was found sadly unresponsive at
her home in Brooklyn yesterday. In a statement, her family
said she was a beloved wife, sister, daughter, stepmother, and friend.
Her smile lit up every room she entered. Anne's light
radiated far beyond those she knew, touching millions around across
the world. Though she is no longer with us, her warmth,
(11:39):
spirit and boundless love remain eternal. Her cause of death
was not yet released. But yes, she was so young,
fifty five and so full of life. I was looking
at pictures of her just from a few months ago
on the red carpet, smiling and looked healthy and happy.
So it's a it's a mystery, and it's a shock.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Like sudden, and there was no talk of her being ill.
And I've issue is still active in her life and
social media and everything as of late. So this just
kind of came, I don't know where. That's a tough one.
Amber that at the age of fifty five, will stay
with us here on this Wednesday Morning Ron when we
come back. Tom Cruise finally getting an Oscar, but not
for acting. Also Kelsey Grammar still at it at the
(12:19):
age of seventy and about to have baby number eight.
And it is eighty seven degrees in Miami today. Yep,
that's a hockey town. We continue now on this Wednesday
morning run with Tom Cruise. He is getting an Oscar
(12:42):
finally it's an honorary one, but still Cruise was among
a seleg group that the Academy announced yesterday would be
getting honorary oscars.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
Stebbie Allen and When Thomas were also announced as honorary
recipients this year. Thomas was the production designer for.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Do the Right Thing, And of course we know who
Debbie is. I didn't have to put that. She is
just a legendary dancing machine. She is amazing.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
I always think of fame. I'm gonna live forever the Cruise,
of course, one of the biggest bankable movie stars ever.
But despite all of that box office success, he has
never won an OSCAR. He's been nominated three times in
acting categories back in two thousand. He was nominated for Magnolia,
Born on the Fourth of July back in nineteen ninety
(13:25):
and Jerry Maguire back in nineteen ninety seven. So man,
it's been twenty five years since he's even been nominated.
He also got nominated for Best Picture. He was a
part of it for Maverick.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Yeah. I didn't know Magnolia, you said, you immediately knew that.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Ye.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Yeah, I didn't know that one, Okay. So in making
the announcement, the Academy said, Cruise, this incredible commitment to
our filmmaking community, to the theatrical experience, and to the
stunt community has inspired us. All these awards are going
to be given out in the Black tie ceremony in November.
The line they put in there to his commitment to
the theatrical experience. You remember during COVID when he went
(13:59):
to the theater himself to see what was the movie Tenant,
he went and made a big scene. Like during COVID
when we were just getting back out to the movie theaters,
he went and sat and watched another man's movie that
was a competing movie at the time with his That was,
to me at that time a gesture of how supportive
he is of the filmmaking community. And he's getting an
(14:20):
honorary Oscar. That's awesome.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Well, congratulations to Tom.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
And I mentioned Dolly Parton, Sorry, go ahead. They're also
giving her an Oscar, an Honorary Oscar for her humanitarian work.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Oh that's amazing.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
That's great to hear it.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
All right, Well, congratulations to Dolly, Tom, also to Debbie
and to Win. So all of the above, but we
have more congratulations to offer. Next up on the Run,
actor Kelsey Grammer is becoming a dad again at the
age of seventy. Baby number eight is on the way.
It's the fourth child for Grammar and his wife Kate Walsh,
who already have a twelve, a ten, and an eight
(14:54):
year old. Together.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
He also has four other children with former wives who
range in age from forty one to twenty, So congratulations
to them. Look, people will look at that and go
wow and have all kinds of opinions. Sometimes things aren't
traditional and don't go the way most people go in
their lives. But that's okay. He's seventy doing his thing happy.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Maybe it's keeping him young. It's funny. My dad's seventy
one and I can't even imagine he has granddaughters in
their twenties. But you know, actually Kelsey has a forty
one year old daughter too, so you know what, more
people to babysit. I was going to say to love Okay, sorry.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
We continue here on its Wednesday morning run, and it
takes us to Miami. I say, Miami to Urobes. First
thing you think.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
Of is beaches, sunshine.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Wrong, hockey ice hockey, Yes, is supposed to be the
first thing you think of, because it is definitely after
last night, it is a hockey town.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Thank thank thankful for indoor skating rinks. Miami's hometown Florida
Panthers won the Stanley Cup last night, making them back
to back champions. They beat the Edmonton Oilers last nine,
five to one in front of a home crowd to
capture the cup. They won the series forty two. The
Panthers also beat the Oilers last year in the finals,
so it was a rematch. It sucks, yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Godam twice painful, all right, final leg of the run. Now,
streaming has now officially surpassed broadcast and cable combined. I'm
seeing that right. Broadcast and cabled are being beaten by streaming.
This is the first time ever this has happened for
a full month. I guess it has been going this
direction and not surprised by these numbers. But in May,
(16:32):
streaming made up forty four point eight percent of viewership.
Traditional broadcast TV made up twenty percent, Cable channels made
up twenty four percent. So what you have there is
about forty five to forty four. It's a small margin,
but it's enough and.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
It's going in that direction. Executives that Nielsen Data said
that sporting events and news have kept broadcasting cable. They say,
surprisingly resilient.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Sporting events and news. Yep, So what is that? Elections
and NFL football is what we're talking about.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Pretty much well, yeah, but the trend, they say, yes,
certainly headed in streaming's direction. But get this, just four
years ago, it was not like this. Nearly two thirds
of all TV was watched on broadcasting and cable, only
twenty six percent was with streaming. So you see what's
happened in four years That was twenty twenty one.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
If you would have asked me the top five streamers,
I never would have come up with number one if
you gave me ten tries, because for whatever reason, it
just doesn't register. I don't think about it.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
But if you check out our daughters, it's alli viewing habits,
you wouldn't be surprised.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
YouTube is number one. The top streamer is YouTube, after
that Netflix, and then Disney's platforms and include ESPN and Hulu,
and then number four in the list Prime Video from Amazon,
and then number five is the Roku channel. Some perspective,
the three largest free ad supported services combined that's Pluto, Roku,
and Tuobi have more viewership than any single broadcast TV
(17:58):
network on the way.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
This is just isn't it crazy? Do you do you
not still remember where we had ABC, NBCCBS and PBS
and that was it, Like maybe there was like a
local channel here or there, but they were public broadcasting
formats and you just turned the dial and that was it.
To think what we have to choose from now, it's.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Remarkable and the only thing we watch on broadcasts now.
We watched sports, and we watched a little news in
the morning.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
The Olympics were also mentioned, and that obviously helps boost
some but you only get those every two years, and
it's all NBC, ain't it, at least for now? All right,
on this Wednesday, we would like to leave you with
some inspiration with our quote of the day today.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
It is great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events,
small minds discuss people. Take this one with you today
as you're having conversations and think about what you're saying,
think about what other people are saying. Are they talking
about people, events or ideas?
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Isn't that interesting?
Speaker 2 (19:05):
It's so simple, it is.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
And you know, by the amazing eleanor Roosevelt, she has
so many great quotes out there, and I had not
seen this one before, and it really stuck with me
because yes, it's something to consider as we have conversations,
what we choose to talk about, and perhaps even who
we choose to talk about says a lot about ourselves,
So we'll leave this with you for one last time.
Great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, Small minds
(19:31):
discuss people, And with that, thank you for running with
us everyone.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
I'm Ae Robots and I'm TJ. Holmes. Of course, as always,
you can look for our separate ditty trial daily update
that'll be posted around noon Eastern time today as always,
or with that, folks, so we appreciate your running with us.
We'll see soon

providing vulnerable men with acting roles, contracts, even cars and money,
and then put them in fear of losing everything if
they didn't engage in Perry's perverted desire for sexual gratification.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Yeah, Perry quickly and strongly called bs on this lawsuit
and a statement from his attorney. The attorney says this quote.
This is an individual who got close to Tyler Perry
for what now appears to be nothing more than setting
up a scam. But Tyler will not be shaken down,
and we are confident these fabricated claims of harassment will fail.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Just feels like it's like another day, another sexual assault
or harassment lawsuit. It's overwhelming at times. And let's move
on now to another significant case that we have been
reporting on daily. Next up on our run today, as
the day prosecutors in the Diddy trial thought they might
rest their case, but now it looks like that will
(06:40):
not happen after testimony from one witness went long yesterday.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Yeah, that witness is an agent with the US Attorney's office,
and this witness has been meticulously and at times boringly
connecting the dots of travel itineraries, bank statements, credit card statements,
tech messages, and so on, all to show that Sean
Combs was the one organ and financing the so called
free colls. Of course, this is meticulous work. You gotta
(07:05):
go through all this paperwork, step back step, connect the
dots with some The Washington Post reporter called it dry.
This is what this testimony was, but it has to
be done. The government now says it doesn't expect a
rapids case before Friday. And remember that it is no
court tomorrow because it's Juneteenth.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Yes, and dry is relative though to the rest of
what we've heard, which is perhaps juicy would be one
way to describe it. All Right, here's what we're expecting
to hear today in court. Brendan Paul, a former assistant
to Diddy, will take the stand. He has been granted
immunity for his testimony. Also, the judge has yet to
address that issue with a second juror that the court
(07:42):
has been investigating for possibly discussing the case with a colleague,
and that juror could potentially be removed from the jury
if the judge finds that his actions were not according
to his instructions.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Then he would be the second juror to be dismissed
this week. Remember another juror was dismissed for inconceit distancies
and his answer to a very simple question, where do
you live? There was some question of whether he was
full time in New York or full time in New Jersey.
So he is off the case. If the prosecution wraps
by Friday, the defense says it will need two to
five days to put on its case. So yes, Robe
(08:15):
does we say there? It is possible that the jury
and the Diddy trial could be deliberating as early as
next week.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
All right, Next up on our run, Seven men have
been indicted for pulling off what authorities say is the
largest jewelry heist in American history, one hundred million dollars
in gold, rubies, emeralds, diamonds, and luxury watches.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
But despite the indictments and the arrest. We still don't
know where most of that one hundred million dollars in
loot is right now. Authorities announced the indictments yesterday, calling
the men part of a professional and organized group of
thieves that robbed a BRINKX truck back in twenty twenty
two in California. So how exactly robes did they pull
this off?
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Well, the details TJ are very incredible. Authorities say, after
we're doing a couple days of recon at a jewelry
show in the Bay Area, the men followed a Brinks
truck leaving the show. That truck had seventy three bags
full of precious jewelry. The men then tailed the Brinks
truck for three hundred miles waited for it to make
a stop at a gas station in a remote community.
(09:18):
When the Brinks driver and another guard went inside the
gas station, the thieves struck.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
It sounds so simple in its execution, but get this, folks.
No guns, no hostages, no injuries, no witnesses. This is
some stuff you see in Oceans eleven or something. To
pull this off with no violence, The men grabbed twenty
four of the seventy three bags and disappeared. They think
maybe they only grabbed twenty four because they had lookouts
(09:44):
and knew that's all the time they had to get
which also suggests these guys are pros now authlready say
they recovered some of the jewelry, but don't know what
happened to the rest of it or how the men
might have capitalized. They didn't go out and start buying
lavish things. They don't know where it is.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
And how did they get into the Brinks truck.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
They would not release that information. And you can imagine why.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
I understand because I'm thinking this is an armored vehicle
and if it was in some way vulnerable, you would
think that if you had a driver and another guard,
one of them should have probably stayed with the truck, right.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
You know, if you're in the middle of nowhere at
night still as a Brinks truck operator, you still have
to follow procedure. I just left the door unlocked.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
I would imagine that that is against protocol. Both of
the men left to go inside and left the truck unattended.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Oh well, well, we're gonna ttinue on the run here
with a sad and really shocking news of the death
of Anne Burrell, chef Anne Burrell died at the age
of fifty five yesterday. Popular and ever bubbly, Barrell rose
to fame and star of Worst Cooks in America, became
a staple on the Food Network, and you could not
(10:54):
miss her. She had that trademark spiked blonde hair. Can
we call it platinum?
Speaker 1 (10:58):
It was, yes, it was, yes, it was platinum.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
For sure, had that hair. But she also had that
huge smile and just an infectious laugh in any time
you heard, she just belting it out. So she was
just such a big personality.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Yeah, she was unmistakable. She was remarkable. Yeah, and just
when you if you look her up, you'll say, oh,
my gosh, I totally know who that is.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
You might know the name, but.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
You know the face. Burrell was found sadly unresponsive at
her home in Brooklyn yesterday. In a statement, her family
said she was a beloved wife, sister, daughter, stepmother, and friend.
Her smile lit up every room she entered. Anne's light
radiated far beyond those she knew, touching millions around across
the world. Though she is no longer with us, her warmth,
(11:39):
spirit and boundless love remain eternal. Her cause of death
was not yet released. But yes, she was so young,
fifty five and so full of life. I was looking
at pictures of her just from a few months ago
on the red carpet, smiling and looked healthy and happy.
So it's a it's a mystery, and it's a shock.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Like sudden, and there was no talk of her being ill.
And I've issue is still active in her life and
social media and everything as of late. So this just
kind of came, I don't know where. That's a tough one.
Amber that at the age of fifty five, will stay
with us here on this Wednesday Morning Ron when we
come back. Tom Cruise finally getting an Oscar, but not
for acting. Also Kelsey Grammar still at it at the
(12:19):
age of seventy and about to have baby number eight.
And it is eighty seven degrees in Miami today. Yep,
that's a hockey town. We continue now on this Wednesday
morning run with Tom Cruise. He is getting an Oscar
(12:42):
finally it's an honorary one, but still Cruise was among
a seleg group that the Academy announced yesterday would be
getting honorary oscars.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
Stebbie Allen and When Thomas were also announced as honorary
recipients this year. Thomas was the production designer for.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Do the Right Thing, And of course we know who
Debbie is. I didn't have to put that. She is
just a legendary dancing machine. She is amazing.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
I always think of fame. I'm gonna live forever the Cruise,
of course, one of the biggest bankable movie stars ever.
But despite all of that box office success, he has
never won an OSCAR. He's been nominated three times in
acting categories back in two thousand. He was nominated for Magnolia,
Born on the Fourth of July back in nineteen ninety
(13:25):
and Jerry Maguire back in nineteen ninety seven. So man,
it's been twenty five years since he's even been nominated.
He also got nominated for Best Picture. He was a
part of it for Maverick.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Yeah. I didn't know Magnolia, you said, you immediately knew that.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Ye.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Yeah, I didn't know that one, Okay. So in making
the announcement, the Academy said, Cruise, this incredible commitment to
our filmmaking community, to the theatrical experience, and to the
stunt community has inspired us. All these awards are going
to be given out in the Black tie ceremony in November.
The line they put in there to his commitment to
the theatrical experience. You remember during COVID when he went
(13:59):
to the theater himself to see what was the movie Tenant,
he went and made a big scene. Like during COVID
when we were just getting back out to the movie theaters,
he went and sat and watched another man's movie that
was a competing movie at the time with his That was,
to me at that time a gesture of how supportive
he is of the filmmaking community. And he's getting an
(14:20):
honorary Oscar. That's awesome.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Well, congratulations to Tom.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
And I mentioned Dolly Parton, Sorry, go ahead. They're also
giving her an Oscar, an Honorary Oscar for her humanitarian work.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Oh that's amazing.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
That's great to hear it.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
All right, Well, congratulations to Dolly, Tom, also to Debbie
and to Win. So all of the above, but we
have more congratulations to offer. Next up on the Run,
actor Kelsey Grammer is becoming a dad again at the
age of seventy. Baby number eight is on the way.
It's the fourth child for Grammar and his wife Kate Walsh,
who already have a twelve, a ten, and an eight
(14:54):
year old. Together.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
He also has four other children with former wives who
range in age from forty one to twenty, So congratulations
to them. Look, people will look at that and go
wow and have all kinds of opinions. Sometimes things aren't
traditional and don't go the way most people go in
their lives. But that's okay. He's seventy doing his thing happy.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Maybe it's keeping him young. It's funny. My dad's seventy
one and I can't even imagine he has granddaughters in
their twenties. But you know, actually Kelsey has a forty
one year old daughter too, so you know what, more
people to babysit. I was going to say to love Okay, sorry.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
We continue here on its Wednesday morning run, and it
takes us to Miami. I say, Miami to Urobes. First
thing you think.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
Of is beaches, sunshine.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Wrong, hockey ice hockey, Yes, is supposed to be the
first thing you think of, because it is definitely after
last night, it is a hockey town.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Thank thank thankful for indoor skating rinks. Miami's hometown Florida
Panthers won the Stanley Cup last night, making them back
to back champions. They beat the Edmonton Oilers last nine,
five to one in front of a home crowd to
capture the cup. They won the series forty two. The
Panthers also beat the Oilers last year in the finals,
so it was a rematch. It sucks, yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Godam twice painful, all right, final leg of the run. Now,
streaming has now officially surpassed broadcast and cable combined. I'm
seeing that right. Broadcast and cabled are being beaten by streaming.
This is the first time ever this has happened for
a full month. I guess it has been going this
direction and not surprised by these numbers. But in May,
(16:32):
streaming made up forty four point eight percent of viewership.
Traditional broadcast TV made up twenty percent, Cable channels made
up twenty four percent. So what you have there is
about forty five to forty four. It's a small margin,
but it's enough and.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
It's going in that direction. Executives that Nielsen Data said
that sporting events and news have kept broadcasting cable. They say,
surprisingly resilient.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Sporting events and news. Yep, So what is that? Elections
and NFL football is what we're talking about.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Pretty much well, yeah, but the trend, they say, yes,
certainly headed in streaming's direction. But get this, just four
years ago, it was not like this. Nearly two thirds
of all TV was watched on broadcasting and cable, only
twenty six percent was with streaming. So you see what's
happened in four years That was twenty twenty one.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
If you would have asked me the top five streamers,
I never would have come up with number one if
you gave me ten tries, because for whatever reason, it
just doesn't register. I don't think about it.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
But if you check out our daughters, it's alli viewing habits,
you wouldn't be surprised.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
YouTube is number one. The top streamer is YouTube, after
that Netflix, and then Disney's platforms and include ESPN and Hulu,
and then number four in the list Prime Video from Amazon,
and then number five is the Roku channel. Some perspective,
the three largest free ad supported services combined that's Pluto, Roku,
and Tuobi have more viewership than any single broadcast TV
(17:58):
network on the way.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
This is just isn't it crazy? Do you do you
not still remember where we had ABC, NBCCBS and PBS
and that was it, Like maybe there was like a
local channel here or there, but they were public broadcasting
formats and you just turned the dial and that was it.
To think what we have to choose from now, it's.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Remarkable and the only thing we watch on broadcasts now.
We watched sports, and we watched a little news in
the morning.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
The Olympics were also mentioned, and that obviously helps boost
some but you only get those every two years, and
it's all NBC, ain't it, at least for now? All right,
on this Wednesday, we would like to leave you with
some inspiration with our quote of the day today.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
It is great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events,
small minds discuss people. Take this one with you today
as you're having conversations and think about what you're saying,
think about what other people are saying. Are they talking
about people, events or ideas?
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Isn't that interesting?
Speaker 2 (19:05):
It's so simple, it is.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
And you know, by the amazing eleanor Roosevelt, she has
so many great quotes out there, and I had not
seen this one before, and it really stuck with me
because yes, it's something to consider as we have conversations,
what we choose to talk about, and perhaps even who
we choose to talk about says a lot about ourselves,
So we'll leave this with you for one last time.
Great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, Small minds
(19:31):
discuss people, And with that, thank you for running with
us everyone.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
I'm Ae Robots and I'm TJ. Holmes. Of course, as always,
you can look for our separate ditty trial daily update
that'll be posted around noon Eastern time today as always,
or with that, folks, so we appreciate your running with us.
We'll see soon
