Speaker 1 (00:01):
Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast. Hey
there everybody, it is Tuesday, December second.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
I'm Amy Robots and I TJ. Holmes and we rope.
Don't have to turn on the meteorologists. We could just
look out the window right now. Know, a storm is
a coming.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Storm is a bruin here in the Northeast.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
We've been dealing with this all week, perfectly timed storms,
and it's not done yet. During the week of the holiday,
the whole Thanksgiving holiday has been taken up by three
storms that have been pounding everybody's home by now right.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Yes, yesterday was the last big travel day I believe
of Thanksgiving, and so people should be where they are
intending to hunker down at least for the rest of
the day time.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Hunkering is a good way to do because we are
going to have a mess. They are predicting we're gonna
have a mess of a morning and even day. But
even the commute this morning in some places is going
to be disastrous. The northeast New England. We are bracing
in this area for the storm that is on the way.
It brought all kinds of snow, difficult driving conditions to
parts of the Midwest, so we got now robes from
(01:06):
You can go from Louisville all the way up to
Maine and you'll see watches and warnings in place. I
think a lot of major cities are gonna get be spared.
Some people are relieved, others are own.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
I'm a little disappointed. Really. You know what happens is
they get us all excited for the first snow is
always the exciting one, right, the first snow of the season.
There was a point, I believe a couple days ago
where they were saying we were gonna get six inches
in the city. Look, that's not like. That does not
shut down the city, but it's fun while it's falling.
And so now we're hearing it's going to be this
(01:39):
is the worst sleet, like a slushy mess. That sounds
like what we're getting. Yay, I'd rather have rain or snow.
The sleet and the freezing rain that is just nasty.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
All right, Well, some places we might drive upstate roads,
but they upstate New York could get up to six inches.
Other places are predicted to get up to that as well.
Someplace up to an inch an hour of snow. This
isn't going to be a lingering thing, but they say
it's going to dump fun though quickly.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
As long as you don't have to go anywhere or
be anywhere, it's fun to sit down and watch the
snow falling.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
So yes, this will be the first significant I guess
went to storm for this area. But everybody be safe
out there. Also to tell you about on this Tuesday
morning run Diddy versus Netflix also wanted and now a
reward for that missing Virginia high school football coach, a
possible new travel band, a new word of the year,
and new financial reasons folks to get your real ID now.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
All right, I'm in line. Actually we'll get into that.
But what we do want to tell you right now
is about this story that has been buzzing for quite
some time. Diddy is now trying to stop this Netflix
documentary that has launched today.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Yeah, he's trying to stop and so far no good
because we are as we sit here literally watching it.
It's on the television. So he was unsuccessful. But folks,
a new documentary dropped today on Netflix today, December second.
It's called Sean Combe's The Reckoning. Now, this has been
talked about for quite a while because of who was
behind it, his arch nemesis in a lot of ways,
fifty Cent, who has been active ever since his arrest.
(03:19):
He has been talking about baby oil, and he was
almost doing his own rolling commentary of the Trial and.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
True, and yet still says that they have no beef.
That's difficult to comprehend given if this is when the
actions speak louder than words, But even his words contradict
what he's trying to say.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Now, okay, come on, Curtis, come on, Curtis, we get it.
You got a problem with this guy. But yes, Diddy
and his team have sent a cease and desist order
two Netflix, which apparently has ignored it because the documentary
is out, but they are saying that it contains stolen
footage that was never authorized for release. It goes on
(03:59):
to say Diddy has been amassing footage since he was
nineteen to tell his own story in his own way.
It is fundamentally unfair and illegal for Netflix to misappropriate
that work and robes the first two minutes your jaws dropped.
We see him talking to his attorney before his arrest
here in New York, and you wonder how the hell
(04:20):
did they get their hands on this foot.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Right, because this was from what is understood, actually, did
he had someone he paid someone to video him in
the days leading up to his rest. Obviously he didn't
know when exactly he was going to be arrested or
even if he was going to be arrested, but this
was what just literally a few days before his arrest.
And he is yes on the phone trying to strategize
(04:43):
with his attorneys something that you feel like you shouldn't
be watching as you're watching.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
It, Mark Agnifilo on the phone.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
And this is interesting because Netflix is not revealing who
the videographer is, and I wonder if that's for his
own safety or protection.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
But Netflix, it is claiming that they did lea legally
obtain this and do have the right to put it out.
The statement goes on to say that Netflix is plainly
desperate to sensationalize every minute of mister Combs's life without
regard for truth, in order to capitalize on a never
ending media friendly They also acknowledge your robes that come on. Really,
(05:17):
Netflix fifty cent, y'all trust this guy with creative control
given how much he has said he dislikes They.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Call him a long time adversary with a personal vendetta
who has spent too much time slandering mister Combe's Viddy
Sence says, I just want to be out here saying
publicly that the rap community does not condone the behavior
of someone like Diddy, and I think someone needs to
speak out and represent that sentiment that is real. So
(05:47):
all right, more to come on that for sure. But
next up on the run, there is now a reward
for information leading to the capture of a high school
football coach who was wanted on child porn charges. Of course,
we've been covering the story for quite some time since
this coach went missing back on November twentieth. We're talking
about Travis Turner, forty six year old Travis Turner. He
(06:08):
went missing the day police wanted to speak to him
about a complaint. Later we found out that he is
now a wanted fugitive on ten counts, five counts of
possession of child pornography, five counts of using a computer
to solicit a minor.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
And the US Marshall Service. I mean, these folks get
involved when they look up for fugitives. They are looking
for a guy they consider a fugitive initially with the
search that was concerned for his safety as well being.
We do no. According to his family, he walked off
into the woods just wearing a sweatshirt, but they said
he had a firearm, and the US Marshals and their
announcement did say that he may be armed, and they
(06:43):
said people should use caution. Meanwhile, the upside, the positive,
or at least the hopeful part of this is his
team is thirteen and up and they have now won
two games without their coach, and they're playing again this
weekend with a chance to make it to the state championship.
So the community is rallying around those kids.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Yes, and that is the silver lining of the story.
The reward now for information leading to his capture, I
believe or is five thousand dollars kind of a low amount, actually,
I was kind of surprised by that.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
It seemed like based on so much of what we're
seeing with these massive fugitives, and thus.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Ten thousand of least, but the amount of money and
time being spent to try and find him, I just
think it's interesting not to maybe offer something a little
bit more incentivizing a.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Lot of resources, isn't it?
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Yes, certainly, but we will keep update, keep you up
to date on that developing story, but also up on
our run. We are hearing about another possible travel ban
Homeland Security Secretary Christy Nome. This was some very serious
wording here that definitely caught our eye. She wrote this
on x yesterday. She said she'd met with President Trump
(07:45):
and recommended a quote full travel ban from every damn
country that's been flooding our nation with killers, leeches, and
entitlement junkies.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
She continues that our forefathers didn't build this country for
quote foreign invaders to slaughter our heroes, suck dry our
hard earned tax dollars, or snatch the benefits owed to Americans.
We don't want them, not one Now. Of course, you've
noticed the administration has taking a even harder stance on
immigration and it's crackdown after those two National Guard members
(08:20):
were shot in Washington, DC in that ambush style attack
and robes that line she used from every damn country.
We don't have a list of any damn country that
she's possibly talking about just yet. Now we talk about
those two that were shot. Twenty year old West Virginia
Guard member Sarah Beckstrom. She did die the other that
was shot has been listed Robes in critical I think
(08:41):
ever since the beginning, but now considered in serious condition.
And what an encouraging update about twenty four year old
Andrew Wolf.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
That's right, so he was actually able to give a
thumbs up, so there was some communication and he was
able to wiggle his toes. I mean given house. Seriously,
he was shot. I mean he has been in critical
condition for days now. So this is actually just such
good news, such a welcome relief for his family who
I'm sure has been so worried and by his side
(09:13):
throughout it all.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Thank you. I've overcome right now as you Reen, I
just what a relief, Like my shoulders went down, like
it's nice to have some good news of something positive
about is something that horrific. Continue here on the run. Yes,
the whole country is watching the Tennessee seventh District special election.
It is today, and Robes, this has become absolutely a national.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Race, that's right. So we are talking about Republican Matt
Van Epps and state Representative Aten Ben They are running
against one another. This is a runoff. And Trump won
this district by the way, by twenty two points, so
he is he has been actively invested in watching this
race and asking folks to come out and vote for
(09:54):
Matt Van Epps and what he has said about often Ben.
Basically his one of his big barbes against her was
that she hates country music. He really wanted everyone to
know that as part of the reason why you should
not vote for her.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
You know what, that might work because this district is
just west of Nashville.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
I thought it was so interesting that he actually went there.
He said, he said, Afton Ben hates Christianity, will take
away your guns. Oh yeah, wants open borders, the audience,
transgender for everybody, men and women's sports, and openly disdains
country music. Yes, that is how President Trump described Representative Ben.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
And she thinks Landy Wilson it's stupid.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
He played into everything he could think of that matters
to Tennesseeans, Oh God, and country music, sports, and he.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Prefers the Florida Gators over the volunteers. I mean, what
else is he gonna throw in there? It was he
like check, check, and check. But this is a big
deal because this is now going to be a measuring stick.
This is a test about this blue wave. The Democrats
think they are making some real in Roa. Look, they
won mayor's race in New York City, won the Virginia
(11:07):
governor's mansion one the New Jersey. They're like, okay, we
got something going. If she pulls this off, even if
it's a single digit loss for her, this could be
a bad signal for Republican yeah says.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
They are already gearing up for the midterm elections, which
of course will determine what, well where the majority is
in Congress, which makes all the difference obviously in Trump
getting his policies pushed through.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
They'll be fine. They just redraw the lines if they
don't like how this works out. All right, folks, stay
with us here on this Tuesday morning run. When we
come back, you better get your real ID because it's
going to cost you, and it's going to cost you
every ten days. We'll explain. Also, the United States decides
to for the first time, sit out World Aids Day.
And I thought we were done with the word of
(11:52):
the year, but yeah, folks, we got another one. I
don't like this one either. Stay here, right, folks, we
continue on this Tuesday morning run now with World Aids Day.
It was on December first, It was yesterday, and we
(12:15):
didn't hear a peep out of the White House about it.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Yes, and that is remarkable because this was the first
time since Aid's Day was created, which by the way,
was in nineteen eighty eight, that the US did not
commemorate the day it all started to remember the millions
who have died from AIDS related illnesses by the World
Health Organization. But if you recall, the United States withdrew
(12:41):
from the World Health Organization this year, and the State
Department made this clear about their decision not to commemorate
World's AIDS Day. They said, an awareness day is not
a strategy.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Okay, And a lot of countries have been cutting back
on foreign aid over the past few year, certainly the
United States as well, and we get that. So if
you're doing that, it seemed like almost you would go
out of your way to do something else that's not
financial to make sure you bring awareness to keep talking
about it. They made this decision, and that's fine. It
just first time ever in the United States hasn't.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Yes, and I think a lot of people would take
issue with the fact that awareness is not a strategy.
Awareness is the first step. Awareness is making people understand
the gravity and the importance of fighting a disease like
this and keeping it at bay. And we've made great
and phenomenal inroads in medicines and treatments and people can
live with AIDS now, which is wonderful. But awareness was
(13:37):
the catalyst for all of it.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
But you put it in the simplest of ways, and
that's that's the lead. Damn you. You find a way
to make this all make sense to me, But you
just simplified. It's that simple. Why would I give money
to a cause that I'm not aware of or passionate about? Correct?
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Period.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
Yes, you have to get people to give a damn exactly.
And if it looks like your own government doesn't give
a damn, I'm not saying they don't. There's still money
is still going out for age programs, PEP FAR and
whatnot is still operating.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
But this was just there's a reason why we have
awareness months. There's a reason why because it does bring
attention to something, and that does bring funding to it,
which helps eradicate or at least give people options who
are living with it.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
All right, continuing on the run here now and Wednesday tomorrow,
what time robes.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Oh, yes, I have a twelve to fifteen PM appointment
at a DMV.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
All right, folks, you better get yours. Robes is a
little late to the party, but she is going to
make it just in time. But she has this appointment
to get a real ID so she can stop using
her passport at the airport. But a lot of people
Robes might not have their passport or carry their passport.
So if you get to the airport and did not
have your real ID by February, it's gonna charge you
(14:49):
forty five dollars.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
That's painful.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Put you in a separate line, and you got to
go through this process. They say it is going to
possibly slow you down. But there is a now a
reporting system or a system you have to check in
through this going to process. But it's going to cost
you forty five dollars. It'll last you for ten days.
They're essentially saying, it'll allow you for a round trip
if you go somewhere on vacation, if you have something,
it'll be good for that trip. But every time you
(15:14):
fly if you don't have a real ID, that's forty
five bucks.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
That is painful.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
February one, Get on it, folks man. What was your issue.
This isn't easy for a lot of people.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
The truth is, so I when this all first came
up and I realized I didn't have a real ID
and I still have a couple of years left on
my driver's license, but I just said, you know what,
I immediately tried to get at least here in New York
City an appointment with the DMV. It was when I
went and looked in May through the end of August,
like through Labor Day, there was not one single DMV
(15:46):
appointment at all, And so I checked back a few
weeks ago was able to get one. Now it's eased
up and people have calmed down, so I was able
to get one a week in advance. But this I
prioritized it because I realized that I didn't even know
this was going to happen. But I know that there
are those moments where I forget to bring a passport
when I'm going to Los Angeles. You know, it's just
(16:08):
not something that's top of mind. So I'm glad I'm
getting it in. Wow, scary stuff. I don't want to
pay forty five bucks if.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
I forget my passport every time.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
All right, next up on the run, guess what everybody,
We've got another word of the year.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Do you remember us having I guess they put them
out every year, but there's so many dictionaries. I just
I don't remember covering this.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Right now, everyone wants to have their their day in
the spotlight, and so this one comes to us from
Oxford Dictionary six seven. Wait, six seven? Is that how
you say? Six to seven? That was dictionary dot com.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Either one of those three versions will be fined.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Okay, you said parisocial came from Cambridge, right, And the
Oxford word of the year.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Is rage bait? Now did you know this off the
top of your head? Do you hear? I don't hear
it used daily necessarily, but I'm not on on social orta.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
No, I've never said you're rage baiting me, but I
guess I can get what it means.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Yes. The definition is online content deliberately designed to elicit
anger or outrage by being frustrating, provocative, or offensive. Rage
bait is typically posted in order to increase traffic to
or engagement with a particular web page or social media account.
This is content meant to hook you in by first
pissing you off. That last part was mine, but that's
(17:28):
what we're talking about. They're taking their air intentionally playing
to something. You are being manipulated.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Your emotions are being.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
Manipular, manipulated just to get you to click on something,
and we fall for it. It's a damn shame. But
that's what rage bait is. Now.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
Wow, that's sad that that's the word of the year. Like,
that's that's what defines twenty twenty five. All of the worlds,
it's your dictionary.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
All of them are are buzzy social media type words.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Are they trying to be relevant with the young folcus
Dictionaries are so outdated because who actually goes to a
dictionary and looks up anything anymore. We use it every
single day because we were used to it and we
had that.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
But I care if my word is spelled correctly, but
now we have autro correct. Folks are texting and.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
We have AI, we have chat bots, we have but.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
I almost get hell from Sabine because all of my
text messages are written perfectly and punctuated perfectly, and her
stuff is a five letter word is down to two
letters kind of a thing. It's how they talk well.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
And it's an acronyms that I don't understand. You have
to know what they mean. But yes, the.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Sound Oh I know, God, we do.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Oh that was terrible. The other finalist words were, as
you pointed out, online related bio hack, which that's the
whole I feel like the Kardashians talk about biohacking all
the time, where you're trying to live better, live longer
by doing certain things and eating certain things. And that's
not a bad thing. But Aura farming, I had to
look that up.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Yeah, I think we talked about it in another previous one. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
So you're deliberately performing actions to cultivate a cool or
charismatic image. So basically inauthentic would be how I would
nice say, Aura farming is basically trying to make people
think you're cool.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
Wow. Six seven raised bab parasocial bio hack and oraforming.
How are we doing it?
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Sounds like a terrible time to live, all.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Right, So helpefully we can get you going with the
quote of the day. Something we would like for you
to consider today's quote is life is designed to be lived,
not endeared.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
I like that, And you know, I didn't realize what
it kind of goes with this, and that suck. I
hate hearing it, and then I get myself out of
that to think if I could just get through the day,
if I can just get past this or get past that.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Now, that is a trap because we always think when
I get that raise, when I get that house, when
I get that car, when I get that man, when
I get that ring, all of a sudden, and then
I'm gonna be happy. And the reality is now you
don't want to endure or past time to get to
another place. It's right now. You gotta live. Find a way,
there's something you can look to. This guy, look somewhere
(20:13):
and find something to be grateful for or excited by
or wow, there are things that are amazing all around
us every day. So I love that reminder to if
we're not here to tolerate things, we're not here to
endure things. We're here to live.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
And go with that with uh, with you for today, folks.
Our quote of the day, life is designed to be lived,
not endured. And with that we always appreciate you running
with us.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
I'm TJ and I'm Amy Robot. Go live your best life.
Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast. Hey
there everybody, it is Tuesday, December second.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
I'm Amy Robots and I TJ. Holmes and we rope.
Don't have to turn on the meteorologists. We could just
look out the window right now. Know, a storm is
a coming.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Storm is a bruin here in the Northeast.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
We've been dealing with this all week, perfectly timed storms,
and it's not done yet. During the week of the holiday,
the whole Thanksgiving holiday has been taken up by three
storms that have been pounding everybody's home by now right.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Yes, yesterday was the last big travel day I believe
of Thanksgiving, and so people should be where they are
intending to hunker down at least for the rest of
the day time.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Hunkering is a good way to do because we are
going to have a mess. They are predicting we're gonna
have a mess of a morning and even day. But
even the commute this morning in some places is going
to be disastrous. The northeast New England. We are bracing
in this area for the storm that is on the way.
It brought all kinds of snow, difficult driving conditions to
parts of the Midwest, so we got now robes from
(01:06):
You can go from Louisville all the way up to
Maine and you'll see watches and warnings in place. I
think a lot of major cities are gonna get be spared.
Some people are relieved, others are own.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
I'm a little disappointed. Really. You know what happens is
they get us all excited for the first snow is
always the exciting one, right, the first snow of the season.
There was a point, I believe a couple days ago
where they were saying we were gonna get six inches
in the city. Look, that's not like. That does not
shut down the city, but it's fun while it's falling.
And so now we're hearing it's going to be this
(01:39):
is the worst sleet, like a slushy mess. That sounds
like what we're getting. Yay, I'd rather have rain or snow.
The sleet and the freezing rain that is just nasty.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
All right, Well, some places we might drive upstate roads,
but they upstate New York could get up to six inches.
Other places are predicted to get up to that as well.
Someplace up to an inch an hour of snow. This
isn't going to be a lingering thing, but they say
it's going to dump fun though quickly.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
As long as you don't have to go anywhere or
be anywhere, it's fun to sit down and watch the
snow falling.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
So yes, this will be the first significant I guess
went to storm for this area. But everybody be safe
out there. Also to tell you about on this Tuesday
morning run Diddy versus Netflix also wanted and now a
reward for that missing Virginia high school football coach, a
possible new travel band, a new word of the year,
and new financial reasons folks to get your real ID now.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
All right, I'm in line. Actually we'll get into that.
But what we do want to tell you right now
is about this story that has been buzzing for quite
some time. Diddy is now trying to stop this Netflix
documentary that has launched today.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Yeah, he's trying to stop and so far no good
because we are as we sit here literally watching it.
It's on the television. So he was unsuccessful. But folks,
a new documentary dropped today on Netflix today, December second.
It's called Sean Combe's The Reckoning. Now, this has been
talked about for quite a while because of who was
behind it, his arch nemesis in a lot of ways,
fifty Cent, who has been active ever since his arrest.
(03:19):
He has been talking about baby oil, and he was
almost doing his own rolling commentary of the Trial and.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
True, and yet still says that they have no beef.
That's difficult to comprehend given if this is when the
actions speak louder than words, But even his words contradict
what he's trying to say.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Now, okay, come on, Curtis, come on, Curtis, we get it.
You got a problem with this guy. But yes, Diddy
and his team have sent a cease and desist order
two Netflix, which apparently has ignored it because the documentary
is out, but they are saying that it contains stolen
footage that was never authorized for release. It goes on
(03:59):
to say Diddy has been amassing footage since he was
nineteen to tell his own story in his own way.
It is fundamentally unfair and illegal for Netflix to misappropriate
that work and robes the first two minutes your jaws dropped.
We see him talking to his attorney before his arrest
here in New York, and you wonder how the hell
(04:20):
did they get their hands on this foot.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Right, because this was from what is understood, actually, did
he had someone he paid someone to video him in
the days leading up to his rest. Obviously he didn't
know when exactly he was going to be arrested or
even if he was going to be arrested, but this
was what just literally a few days before his arrest.
And he is yes on the phone trying to strategize
(04:43):
with his attorneys something that you feel like you shouldn't
be watching as you're watching.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
It, Mark Agnifilo on the phone.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
And this is interesting because Netflix is not revealing who
the videographer is, and I wonder if that's for his
own safety or protection.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
But Netflix, it is claiming that they did lea legally
obtain this and do have the right to put it out.
The statement goes on to say that Netflix is plainly
desperate to sensationalize every minute of mister Combs's life without
regard for truth, in order to capitalize on a never
ending media friendly They also acknowledge your robes that come on. Really,
(05:17):
Netflix fifty cent, y'all trust this guy with creative control
given how much he has said he dislikes They.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Call him a long time adversary with a personal vendetta
who has spent too much time slandering mister Combe's Viddy
Sence says, I just want to be out here saying
publicly that the rap community does not condone the behavior
of someone like Diddy, and I think someone needs to
speak out and represent that sentiment that is real. So
(05:47):
all right, more to come on that for sure. But
next up on the run, there is now a reward
for information leading to the capture of a high school
football coach who was wanted on child porn charges. Of course,
we've been covering the story for quite some time since
this coach went missing back on November twentieth. We're talking
about Travis Turner, forty six year old Travis Turner. He
(06:08):
went missing the day police wanted to speak to him
about a complaint. Later we found out that he is
now a wanted fugitive on ten counts, five counts of
possession of child pornography, five counts of using a computer
to solicit a minor.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
And the US Marshall Service. I mean, these folks get
involved when they look up for fugitives. They are looking
for a guy they consider a fugitive initially with the
search that was concerned for his safety as well being.
We do no. According to his family, he walked off
into the woods just wearing a sweatshirt, but they said
he had a firearm, and the US Marshals and their
announcement did say that he may be armed, and they
(06:43):
said people should use caution. Meanwhile, the upside, the positive,
or at least the hopeful part of this is his
team is thirteen and up and they have now won
two games without their coach, and they're playing again this
weekend with a chance to make it to the state championship.
So the community is rallying around those kids.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Yes, and that is the silver lining of the story.
The reward now for information leading to his capture, I
believe or is five thousand dollars kind of a low amount, actually,
I was kind of surprised by that.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
It seemed like based on so much of what we're
seeing with these massive fugitives, and thus.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Ten thousand of least, but the amount of money and
time being spent to try and find him, I just
think it's interesting not to maybe offer something a little
bit more incentivizing a.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Lot of resources, isn't it?
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Yes, certainly, but we will keep update, keep you up
to date on that developing story, but also up on
our run. We are hearing about another possible travel ban
Homeland Security Secretary Christy Nome. This was some very serious
wording here that definitely caught our eye. She wrote this
on x yesterday. She said she'd met with President Trump
(07:45):
and recommended a quote full travel ban from every damn
country that's been flooding our nation with killers, leeches, and
entitlement junkies.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
She continues that our forefathers didn't build this country for
quote foreign invaders to slaughter our heroes, suck dry our
hard earned tax dollars, or snatch the benefits owed to Americans.
We don't want them, not one Now. Of course, you've
noticed the administration has taking a even harder stance on
immigration and it's crackdown after those two National Guard members
(08:20):
were shot in Washington, DC in that ambush style attack
and robes that line she used from every damn country.
We don't have a list of any damn country that
she's possibly talking about just yet. Now we talk about
those two that were shot. Twenty year old West Virginia
Guard member Sarah Beckstrom. She did die the other that
was shot has been listed Robes in critical I think
(08:41):
ever since the beginning, but now considered in serious condition.
And what an encouraging update about twenty four year old
Andrew Wolf.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
That's right, so he was actually able to give a
thumbs up, so there was some communication and he was
able to wiggle his toes. I mean given house. Seriously,
he was shot. I mean he has been in critical
condition for days now. So this is actually just such
good news, such a welcome relief for his family who
I'm sure has been so worried and by his side
(09:13):
throughout it all.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Thank you. I've overcome right now as you Reen, I
just what a relief, Like my shoulders went down, like
it's nice to have some good news of something positive
about is something that horrific. Continue here on the run. Yes,
the whole country is watching the Tennessee seventh District special election.
It is today, and Robes, this has become absolutely a national.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Race, that's right. So we are talking about Republican Matt
Van Epps and state Representative Aten Ben They are running
against one another. This is a runoff. And Trump won
this district by the way, by twenty two points, so
he is he has been actively invested in watching this
race and asking folks to come out and vote for
(09:54):
Matt Van Epps and what he has said about often Ben.
Basically his one of his big barbes against her was
that she hates country music. He really wanted everyone to
know that as part of the reason why you should
not vote for her.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
You know what, that might work because this district is
just west of Nashville.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
I thought it was so interesting that he actually went there.
He said, he said, Afton Ben hates Christianity, will take
away your guns. Oh yeah, wants open borders, the audience,
transgender for everybody, men and women's sports, and openly disdains
country music. Yes, that is how President Trump described Representative Ben.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
And she thinks Landy Wilson it's stupid.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
He played into everything he could think of that matters
to Tennesseeans, Oh God, and country music, sports, and he.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Prefers the Florida Gators over the volunteers. I mean, what
else is he gonna throw in there? It was he
like check, check, and check. But this is a big
deal because this is now going to be a measuring stick.
This is a test about this blue wave. The Democrats
think they are making some real in Roa. Look, they
won mayor's race in New York City, won the Virginia
(11:07):
governor's mansion one the New Jersey. They're like, okay, we
got something going. If she pulls this off, even if
it's a single digit loss for her, this could be
a bad signal for Republican yeah says.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
They are already gearing up for the midterm elections, which
of course will determine what, well where the majority is
in Congress, which makes all the difference obviously in Trump
getting his policies pushed through.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
They'll be fine. They just redraw the lines if they
don't like how this works out. All right, folks, stay
with us here on this Tuesday morning run. When we
come back, you better get your real ID because it's
going to cost you, and it's going to cost you
every ten days. We'll explain. Also, the United States decides
to for the first time, sit out World Aids Day.
And I thought we were done with the word of
(11:52):
the year, but yeah, folks, we got another one. I
don't like this one either. Stay here, right, folks, we
continue on this Tuesday morning run now with World Aids Day.
It was on December first, It was yesterday, and we
(12:15):
didn't hear a peep out of the White House about it.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Yes, and that is remarkable because this was the first
time since Aid's Day was created, which by the way,
was in nineteen eighty eight, that the US did not
commemorate the day it all started to remember the millions
who have died from AIDS related illnesses by the World
Health Organization. But if you recall, the United States withdrew
(12:41):
from the World Health Organization this year, and the State
Department made this clear about their decision not to commemorate
World's AIDS Day. They said, an awareness day is not
a strategy.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Okay, And a lot of countries have been cutting back
on foreign aid over the past few year, certainly the
United States as well, and we get that. So if
you're doing that, it seemed like almost you would go
out of your way to do something else that's not
financial to make sure you bring awareness to keep talking
about it. They made this decision, and that's fine. It
just first time ever in the United States hasn't.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Yes, and I think a lot of people would take
issue with the fact that awareness is not a strategy.
Awareness is the first step. Awareness is making people understand
the gravity and the importance of fighting a disease like
this and keeping it at bay. And we've made great
and phenomenal inroads in medicines and treatments and people can
live with AIDS now, which is wonderful. But awareness was
(13:37):
the catalyst for all of it.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
But you put it in the simplest of ways, and
that's that's the lead. Damn you. You find a way
to make this all make sense to me, But you
just simplified. It's that simple. Why would I give money
to a cause that I'm not aware of or passionate about? Correct?
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Period.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
Yes, you have to get people to give a damn exactly.
And if it looks like your own government doesn't give
a damn, I'm not saying they don't. There's still money
is still going out for age programs, PEP FAR and
whatnot is still operating.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
But this was just there's a reason why we have
awareness months. There's a reason why because it does bring
attention to something, and that does bring funding to it,
which helps eradicate or at least give people options who
are living with it.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
All right, continuing on the run here now and Wednesday tomorrow,
what time robes.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Oh, yes, I have a twelve to fifteen PM appointment
at a DMV.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
All right, folks, you better get yours. Robes is a
little late to the party, but she is going to
make it just in time. But she has this appointment
to get a real ID so she can stop using
her passport at the airport. But a lot of people
Robes might not have their passport or carry their passport.
So if you get to the airport and did not
have your real ID by February, it's gonna charge you
(14:49):
forty five dollars.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
That's painful.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Put you in a separate line, and you got to
go through this process. They say it is going to
possibly slow you down. But there is a now a
reporting system or a system you have to check in
through this going to process. But it's going to cost
you forty five dollars. It'll last you for ten days.
They're essentially saying, it'll allow you for a round trip
if you go somewhere on vacation, if you have something,
it'll be good for that trip. But every time you
(15:14):
fly if you don't have a real ID, that's forty
five bucks.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
That is painful.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
February one, Get on it, folks man. What was your issue.
This isn't easy for a lot of people.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
The truth is, so I when this all first came
up and I realized I didn't have a real ID
and I still have a couple of years left on
my driver's license, but I just said, you know what,
I immediately tried to get at least here in New York
City an appointment with the DMV. It was when I
went and looked in May through the end of August,
like through Labor Day, there was not one single DMV
(15:46):
appointment at all, And so I checked back a few
weeks ago was able to get one. Now it's eased
up and people have calmed down, so I was able
to get one a week in advance. But this I
prioritized it because I realized that I didn't even know
this was going to happen. But I know that there
are those moments where I forget to bring a passport
when I'm going to Los Angeles. You know, it's just
(16:08):
not something that's top of mind. So I'm glad I'm
getting it in. Wow, scary stuff. I don't want to
pay forty five bucks if.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
I forget my passport every time.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
All right, next up on the run, guess what everybody,
We've got another word of the year.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Do you remember us having I guess they put them
out every year, but there's so many dictionaries. I just
I don't remember covering this.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Right now, everyone wants to have their their day in
the spotlight, and so this one comes to us from
Oxford Dictionary six seven. Wait, six seven? Is that how
you say? Six to seven? That was dictionary dot com.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Either one of those three versions will be fined.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Okay, you said parisocial came from Cambridge, right, And the
Oxford word of the year.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Is rage bait? Now did you know this off the
top of your head? Do you hear? I don't hear
it used daily necessarily, but I'm not on on social orta.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
No, I've never said you're rage baiting me, but I
guess I can get what it means.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Yes. The definition is online content deliberately designed to elicit
anger or outrage by being frustrating, provocative, or offensive. Rage
bait is typically posted in order to increase traffic to
or engagement with a particular web page or social media account.
This is content meant to hook you in by first
pissing you off. That last part was mine, but that's
(17:28):
what we're talking about. They're taking their air intentionally playing
to something. You are being manipulated.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Your emotions are being.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
Manipular, manipulated just to get you to click on something,
and we fall for it. It's a damn shame. But
that's what rage bait is. Now.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
Wow, that's sad that that's the word of the year. Like,
that's that's what defines twenty twenty five. All of the worlds,
it's your dictionary.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
All of them are are buzzy social media type words.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Are they trying to be relevant with the young folcus
Dictionaries are so outdated because who actually goes to a
dictionary and looks up anything anymore. We use it every
single day because we were used to it and we
had that.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
But I care if my word is spelled correctly, but
now we have autro correct. Folks are texting and.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
We have AI, we have chat bots, we have but.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
I almost get hell from Sabine because all of my
text messages are written perfectly and punctuated perfectly, and her
stuff is a five letter word is down to two
letters kind of a thing. It's how they talk well.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
And it's an acronyms that I don't understand. You have
to know what they mean. But yes, the.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Sound Oh I know, God, we do.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Oh that was terrible. The other finalist words were, as
you pointed out, online related bio hack, which that's the
whole I feel like the Kardashians talk about biohacking all
the time, where you're trying to live better, live longer
by doing certain things and eating certain things. And that's
not a bad thing. But Aura farming, I had to
look that up.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Yeah, I think we talked about it in another previous one. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
So you're deliberately performing actions to cultivate a cool or
charismatic image. So basically inauthentic would be how I would
nice say, Aura farming is basically trying to make people
think you're cool.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
Wow. Six seven raised bab parasocial bio hack and oraforming.
How are we doing it?
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Sounds like a terrible time to live, all.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Right, So helpefully we can get you going with the
quote of the day. Something we would like for you
to consider today's quote is life is designed to be lived,
not endeared.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
I like that, And you know, I didn't realize what
it kind of goes with this, and that suck. I
hate hearing it, and then I get myself out of
that to think if I could just get through the day,
if I can just get past this or get past that.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Now, that is a trap because we always think when
I get that raise, when I get that house, when
I get that car, when I get that man, when
I get that ring, all of a sudden, and then
I'm gonna be happy. And the reality is now you
don't want to endure or past time to get to
another place. It's right now. You gotta live. Find a way,
there's something you can look to. This guy, look somewhere
(20:13):
and find something to be grateful for or excited by
or wow, there are things that are amazing all around
us every day. So I love that reminder to if
we're not here to tolerate things, we're not here to
endure things. We're here to live.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
And go with that with uh, with you for today, folks.
Our quote of the day, life is designed to be lived,
not endured. And with that we always appreciate you running
with us.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
I'm TJ and I'm Amy Robot. Go live your best life.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
