Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Good morning everyone, and welcome to Morning Run. It's Monday,
November tenth. I'm Amy Robots.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
And I'm TJ Holmes, and we are on edge. Every
time the phone goes off, we get an alert from
our airline because yes, once again we are flying this morning.
It didn't go well for a lot of.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Folks as weekend ropes, it did not. Thousands and thousands
of flights were canceled. Even my youngest was trying to
get on a plane yesterday and was sitting on the
tarmac for more than an hour, but she was lucky
to take off.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
What was the They were only one flight every five
minut Where did they tell her?
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Yes, she said only one flight every I forgot how
many minutes. But they were in line, in line for
more than an hour, and she was actually concerned at
one point that they were not going to take off
at all.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
So we have an alert. You need to hear from
Sean Duffy, the Transportation Secretary, that we need to get
into You have to hear his words. These were as
scary of the travel words as you're going through here
and concerning especially going into the holidays. We will get
into that. Want you to know it's always on that
screen top right corner of your Apple podcast app says subscribe.
(01:09):
Click that button you can get our updates coming to you.
And we will start with air travel and related to that,
Robes is shut down and uh oh, we've got some
news to report you.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
I mean, this is hopeful and we'll take anything we
can get in that department. Because yes, we begin our
run on this Monday with news that the shutdown might
be over this week. Seriously, today is day forty one
in case you were counting. But a deal emerged over
the weekend. See what happens when they stay in Washington
(01:39):
and actually work. Okay, So a deal emerged over the
weekend to reopen the government. That may allow everybody to
save some faith. So here's the plan. Pass a new
bill that would reopen and fund the government through January.
In exchange, Republicans will grant Democrats a vote on those
healthcare subsidies at a later date.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Yah. So, actually the Democrats aren't getting what they wanted
in this whole negotiation. The thing they were holding out
forty one days for they actually ultimately are not getting.
But I heard a Democratic senator say this. If we
hold out another few days, a few weeks, or few months,
we're not going to get a better result. Man.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Thank god someone opened their eyes and recognized or at
least read the room.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
And couldn't have said it forty days ago. But still
here we go. Even if the Senate approves this thing immediately,
the House still has to come back and Speaker Johnson
has to wrangle everybody and see they can get it
through the House. Then they get it to the President
and he says he'll sign it, but it is not guaranteed.
What's going to happen to it in the House. All right,
(02:40):
we will continue here now. We just talked about the
rough weekend it was for air travelers. It's expected to
actually get worse this week. The government, sighting safety and
a shortage of air traffic controllers, started requiring airlines, as
you know, to reduce their flight schedules. That started on Friday.
It's going to get worse, yeah, week. On Friday, it
began with a four percent reduction of flights. It goes
(03:02):
up to ten percent by the end of this week.
And yes, thousands and thousands of delays over the weekend
and delays were hitting upwards of two to four hours
at several major airports. And here's what Transportation Secretary Sean
Duffy said. He used the word trickle this weekend. He
warned many people will not make it home for Thanksgiving,
(03:22):
saying air travel in the weeks before Turkey Day, air
travel will be reduced to a trickle. And my nineteen
year old who doesn't like to get up before ten am,
changed her flight while she was on her flight last night,
sitting on the tarmac waiting to take off to six
a m. To come home on Thanksgiving, because the flight
attendant told her that's your best shot at getting home
(03:45):
for Thanksgiving, So she on the plane changed her flight
to the first flight of the morning. Okay, we talked
about who's gonna get blamed for the shutdown? Now, who's
going to get blamed for me missing seeing my family
for Thanksgiving?
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Exactly?
Speaker 1 (03:58):
I's going to get blamed for Ah, this was the
last opportunity I had to spend with that relative. There
are some horrible stories going to take place. Who are
they going to blame for this?
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Yeah? I mean, and think about the holidays and all
of the vacation travel that people take they save up
for all year to be with friends and family. This
is and we have a lot of air travel coming
up too, so we'll keep you all updated on how
it goes for us.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Please tell me what that alert is on your phone.
This is in real time. She just got an alert
on her phone from our airline for a flight we
have to take here in the next couple of hours.
And we are panicked every time we see a notification,
and this one says, just.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Keep telling us that it's on time.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
All right. Then we will continue now on this morning
run with President Trump. He wants the SNAP money back.
In the latest legal back and forth regarding the food
benefits program, the Trump administration is demanding that states that
have already issued SNAP benefits for the month of November immediately,
in their words, undo those benefits. They want the money back.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Ropes, how's that going to happen?
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Don't know, all right?
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Well, why the reversal. The administration was ordered by the
lower courts to fund the SNAP program using whatever emergency
money they could find, but the Supreme Court stayed those
earlier rulings, meaning they were voided, meaning in the administration's mind,
that money that went out should never have gone out,
and they want it back.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
States are saying, this is going to ruin us if
you require us to give you this money back. I
don't know if they're going to. You can't take it
back necessarily from the recipients. And I assume it's used
but a refund. So states are sol in terms of
their funds.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
They have to dip into their emergency contingency funds.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Oh my goodness. All right, continuing on the run here now,
all this going on, President Trump takes care of his peeps,
most notably one of his peeps being Rudy Giuliani. Yes,
the President has issued pardons to the former New York
mayor and dozens of others who were all associated with
a scheme to possibly the results of the twenty twenty election.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
A lot of the names are not household names. Mark Meadows,
Sidney Powell might ring a bell, but a total of
seventy two people were given pardons, most associated or even
charged in that Georgia case of alleged voter fraud. So
the pardon language that was used here, it is the
proclamation ends a grave national injustice perpetrated upon the American
(06:27):
people following the twenty twenty presidential election and continues the
process of national reconciliation. He really and he hasn't let
this go. He brings this up all the time. And
so he is now taking the extra step of making
sure anyone that was charged or associated with anything to
(06:47):
do with that twenty twenty election, he's got him home.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
The other guy already served his term, and the President
still will not conceive that election. He has still no
conceded that he lost to Joe Biden.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Absolutely not. All right, Next up on the run, Let's
keep the President Trump train going. He attended the Washington
Commander's home game yesterday, and this is I didn't realize this.
Trump is the first sitting president to attend a regular
season NFL game in nearly fifty years.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Was he the first to attend a Super Bowl?
Speaker 2 (07:19):
He was, Yes, So he's he's apparently he loved sports, all.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Right, So, yeah, he was at this game, the Washington
Commander's game, which they lost miserably. Actually, but the President
was booed on a couple of occasions he was shown,
including he was actually there as part of a halftime
ceremony honoring the military. Now the commanders, okayed a deal
and they're going to get a new stadium. We've been
talking about this, reporting about this, and Trump was kind
(07:43):
of involved in that and thought he might hold up
the deal. But anyway, they get a new four billion
dollar stadium.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Well ropes.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
ESPN is reporting that President Trump wants the new stadium
for the Washington Commanders to be named Trump Stadium.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Why is that rising to anyone? I said it like,
I'll build up you did, and I was like, duh,
that would have been my first guest. Yes. ESPN is
reporting that back channel communications have taken place and the
administration has made clear Trump's desire to have the stadium
bear his name, and when asked about it, White House
Press Secretary Carolyn Lovitt did not knock down the report,
(08:21):
saying that would surely be a beautiful name, as it
was President Trump who made the rebuilding of the new
stadium possible and had just have to smile.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
I don't know what this means or is this for real? Well,
a conversation is taking place, but what would that mean?
Who would have to make that decision?
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Who okays that, yeah, I don't know that?
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Can this? What can he hold over them to say
you do this or I'll give you this, or what
deal can be made for him to have his name
on that.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Oh, I'm sure he has plenty of strings that he
can pull.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Continuing on this Monday morning, run now UPS and FedEx
are grounding their fleet of MD eleven airplane out of
an abundance of caution. I MD eleven, You're not immediately
sure exactly what that is. This is what we should
know is that this particular type of plane it was
the one involved in that fiery crash in Louisville last
week that killed fourteen.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
The companies had already voluntarily grounded their fleets, but the
FAA has taken the step of issuing an order, saying
the agency has determined the unsafe condition is likely to
exist or develop in other products of the same type design.
We are assessing any potential safety issues and we'll ensure
appropriate corrective actions are taken. I mean, that's scary stuff
(09:34):
to think, just the image you mentioned of seeing an
engine like or just we don't know what happened, but
certainly that is good news to know that they are
taking that next step.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
The line jumped out at me. They determined the unsafe
condition is likely.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
That's scary exists.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
In other planes. All right, continue to here on the run, folks.
This time it's baseball. We have another bribe gambling scandal,
this time in Major League Baseball. Two major league pitchers
are facing federal indictments accused of taking brides. Both of
these players play for the Cleveland Guardians Pictures a manual
class and Luis or Tees. They're both accused of taking
(10:13):
money from betters in exchange for throwing certain types of
pitcheses they described some of these. It was a lot
of times on the first pitch because they could determine
exactly what they wanted to do, but they would throw
it into the ground, throw a ball intentionally, or throw
a certain speed, and then the betters were making prop
bets these things. Jump out, who's making a prop bet?
(10:36):
I bet he throws under ninety six point two miles.
And so this is how it got called.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Well, both pitchers had already been on leave from Major
League Baseball after the league discovered what it calls unusual
betting activities surrounding the two pitchers, and they alerted federal authorities.
Or Teas was arrested in Boston on Sunday. Class was
not in custody as of this recording. But the puzzling
thing about this, as it was the same case with
(11:02):
the NBA situation, is why are men who are making millions,
multi million dollar deals risking their careers and their freedom
for a couple thousand dollars here, a couple thousand dollars there.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
And yes, to your point, they were making four to
ten eleven thousand dollars on these pitches, and a lot
of the money went back to they said, Dominican Republic,
according to authorities, to where these guys are from, to
family or whatever else. But that's where the trends. But
we're talking four hundred and fifty thousand dollars over the
past during this scheme, so not a huge amount of
money compared to what these guys were making. All right,
(11:38):
continuing here now next on the run a legend of
the NBA, A class Act of the NBA, and that
NBA family is mourning Lenny Wilkins. He has died at
the age of eighty eight. Lenny Wilkins was a standout
point guard in the seventies and early eighties. Much of
that time he spent playing with the Seattle Supersons.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
But after an All Star career. He had an all
star coaching career, including winning an NBA Championship. He's a
three time Hall of Famer as a player, as a
coach and Dream Team assistant.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Okay, this is most people just would love to go
to the Hall of Fame. He's in the Hall of
Fame as a player. Then he was good enough to
be one of the greatest coaches ever to go into
the Hall of Fame. Then the Dream Team with Jordan
and bird Magic, he was an assistant coach on that team.
That whole team is in the He's a three time
Hall of Fame back. Wow. So yes, he is really
known as one of the class class acts of the NBA.
(12:31):
So he is going to be missed, he said. They
didn't say how he died, but surrounded by family. That's
all you ever want to hear. We'll stay with us here,
folks on this Monday morning, run the most terrifying story
of the morning for Roeboch. They just recalled a thousand
bottles of.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Proseconds one thousand, you mean a million?
Speaker 1 (12:46):
You know what? See how I quickly got corrected. She
wouldn't be concerned about a thousand. We have that in
the closet. But a million bottles of prosecco have been recalled.
Will explain what's happening there? And America's tree is in place,
it's there. It's a million bottles, folks, It's not a thousand.
(13:11):
As we continue on this Monday morning run, we wouldn't
it wouldn't even be a blip on the radar if
a thousand bottles of prosecco were recalled. No, no, no, no,
but a million, and you got our attention. Yes, they
are being recalled. Why would prosecco be recalled if something
get into it? Is something mixed into the actual proseco. No,
the prosecco ropes is apparently good. It's the bottle that's
(13:34):
the problem.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Yes, they're being recalled for a potential laceration hazard. Whoah,
that does not sound fun. The prosecco in question Kirkland
brand prosecco sold at Costco. That is a very popular brand.
The recall says the bottles can break or shatter, causing
a laceration hazard. At least ten incidents have been reported,
(13:55):
one injury. There was a similar recall a few months
ago on this product. So I wonder if it's the
same issue.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
I think that one, and I think I might have
misspoken with the way I wrote it in here. It
was a similar alert. They told people to bring it back,
but it wasn't officially recalled.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Yes, I remember that because I thought, well, think we
don't have I love Costco, we just don't have one
available to us, because if we did, I would have
been checking the fridge. It would have been highly likely
we would have had a bottle of that in the fridge.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
But they were telling folks at that time, don't open
I'm trying drink, don't even bring it back to the store. Yes,
that was that moment. So now this same stuff, they've
had to take the extra step because apparently it has
kept happening and the dang thing can explode.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
Apparently that is not how you want to enjoy your prosecco.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
All right, final leg of the run here. Now America's
Christmas Tree is in place. The Rockefeller Christmas Tree arrived
this weekend. Roase, you were very excited about this store
when we first found out where the tree was coming from.
And now this is this is always a big deal
in New York.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
I do you know it's a sign of the Times.
The season is upon us. It does. We're starting to
see Christmas lights and Christmas decks all over the place.
Haven't heard Christmas music yet, but that is coming. Okay,
you've heard it already. This is a seventy five foot
Norway spruce. They found the tree in East green Bush,
New York. It's a suburb of albany An eleven Ton tree.
(15:17):
I believe they cut it down over the weekend. It's
a two day trek as they bring it all the
way into Times Square. What a journey that is to
bring that tree into the middle of New York City.
It's the tradition started in nineteen thirty one.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
I did not know this until this morning.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
This is really cool. Construction workers put up a tree
to lift the spirits of folks in Manhattan during the
Great Depression. That is. I mean, it's a cool story
that came out of a tough time. But I love
that we're still doing it. Each year. It's celebrated the
amount of folks. I mean, we tend to avoid Rockefeller
Center this time of year. I used to work you
(15:53):
did too, at NBC.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Right.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
This was a difficult time getting into work, but it
always felt festive. It's cool to see people from all
over the world to see the tree, to take pictures
around the tree. It's just a cool tradition. So yes,
it's Christmas season.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
I like it better now, just to think a couple
of guys wanted to make folks feel better during a
really awful time for this country, and it's turned into
something that's lasted one hundred years. Okay, Now I respect
and appreciate it a whole lot more.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
I know, and we've talked about this. It's really cool
what they do with it. After spreading cheer and joy
for all to see for a couple of months, it
is then literally turned into lumber to help build homes
for habitat for humanity. So it's just a cool story
all around. So if you're around, you should check it out.
It is certainly on your It should be on your
bucket list.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Where we let you go on this Monday, folks, something
wants you to take with you. It is our quote
of the day.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
No matter how many mistakes you make or how slow
you progress, you are still way ahead of everyone who
isn't trying. Oh yeah, I picked that one for you,
you know.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
I love that. That's why I said, I get up
so early. I love the idea of getting ahead of
the world. Why this world is still sleeping?
Speaker 2 (16:59):
And one of the things you cannot stand when anyone
says I'll try.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
M don't tell me that I mean do it, don't
do it. Just tell me you're not gonna do it.
But don't tell me you're gonna try. That means you're
gonna get an effort it. Don't do it. Oh Le's yoda?
You used that one dating?
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Yes, I did not.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
What is it?
Speaker 2 (17:16):
I don't know, but it spoke your language. No matter
how many mistakes you make or how slow you progress,
you are still way ahead of everyone who isn't trying
and without everyone. We hope you have a wonderful Monday.
We are going to try to get home today and
do our very best. We got off early to make
sure it happens. I'm Amy Rovoch and I'm TJ.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Holmes. We will see y'all in New York soon, we hope.
Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast.

The other guy already served his term, and the President
still will not conceive that election. He has still no
conceded that he lost to Joe Biden.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Absolutely not. All right, Next up on the run, Let's
keep the President Trump train going. He attended the Washington
Commander's home game yesterday, and this is I didn't realize this.
Trump is the first sitting president to attend a regular
season NFL game in nearly fifty years.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Was he the first to attend a Super Bowl?
Speaker 2 (07:19):
He was, Yes, So he's he's apparently he loved sports, all.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Right, So, yeah, he was at this game, the Washington
Commander's game, which they lost miserably. Actually, but the President
was booed on a couple of occasions he was shown,
including he was actually there as part of a halftime
ceremony honoring the military. Now the commanders, okayed a deal
and they're going to get a new stadium. We've been
talking about this, reporting about this, and Trump was kind
(07:43):
of involved in that and thought he might hold up
the deal. But anyway, they get a new four billion
dollar stadium.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Well ropes.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
ESPN is reporting that President Trump wants the new stadium
for the Washington Commanders to be named Trump Stadium.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Why is that rising to anyone? I said it like,
I'll build up you did, and I was like, duh,
that would have been my first guest. Yes. ESPN is
reporting that back channel communications have taken place and the
administration has made clear Trump's desire to have the stadium
bear his name, and when asked about it, White House
Press Secretary Carolyn Lovitt did not knock down the report,
(08:21):
saying that would surely be a beautiful name, as it
was President Trump who made the rebuilding of the new
stadium possible and had just have to smile.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
I don't know what this means or is this for real? Well,
a conversation is taking place, but what would that mean?
Who would have to make that decision?
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Who okays that, yeah, I don't know that?
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Can this? What can he hold over them to say
you do this or I'll give you this, or what
deal can be made for him to have his name
on that.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Oh, I'm sure he has plenty of strings that he
can pull.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Continuing on this Monday morning, run now UPS and FedEx
are grounding their fleet of MD eleven airplane out of
an abundance of caution. I MD eleven, You're not immediately
sure exactly what that is. This is what we should
know is that this particular type of plane it was
the one involved in that fiery crash in Louisville last
week that killed fourteen.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
The companies had already voluntarily grounded their fleets, but the
FAA has taken the step of issuing an order, saying
the agency has determined the unsafe condition is likely to
exist or develop in other products of the same type design.
We are assessing any potential safety issues and we'll ensure
appropriate corrective actions are taken. I mean, that's scary stuff
(09:34):
to think, just the image you mentioned of seeing an
engine like or just we don't know what happened, but
certainly that is good news to know that they are
taking that next step.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
The line jumped out at me. They determined the unsafe
condition is likely.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
That's scary exists.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
In other planes. All right, continue to here on the run, folks.
This time it's baseball. We have another bribe gambling scandal,
this time in Major League Baseball. Two major league pitchers
are facing federal indictments accused of taking brides. Both of
these players play for the Cleveland Guardians Pictures a manual
class and Luis or Tees. They're both accused of taking
(10:13):
money from betters in exchange for throwing certain types of
pitcheses they described some of these. It was a lot
of times on the first pitch because they could determine
exactly what they wanted to do, but they would throw
it into the ground, throw a ball intentionally, or throw
a certain speed, and then the betters were making prop
bets these things. Jump out, who's making a prop bet?
(10:36):
I bet he throws under ninety six point two miles.
And so this is how it got called.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Well, both pitchers had already been on leave from Major
League Baseball after the league discovered what it calls unusual
betting activities surrounding the two pitchers, and they alerted federal authorities.
Or Teas was arrested in Boston on Sunday. Class was
not in custody as of this recording. But the puzzling
thing about this, as it was the same case with
(11:02):
the NBA situation, is why are men who are making millions,
multi million dollar deals risking their careers and their freedom
for a couple thousand dollars here, a couple thousand dollars there.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
And yes, to your point, they were making four to
ten eleven thousand dollars on these pitches, and a lot
of the money went back to they said, Dominican Republic,
according to authorities, to where these guys are from, to
family or whatever else. But that's where the trends. But
we're talking four hundred and fifty thousand dollars over the
past during this scheme, so not a huge amount of
money compared to what these guys were making. All right,
(11:38):
continuing here now next on the run a legend of
the NBA, A class Act of the NBA, and that
NBA family is mourning Lenny Wilkins. He has died at
the age of eighty eight. Lenny Wilkins was a standout
point guard in the seventies and early eighties. Much of
that time he spent playing with the Seattle Supersons.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
But after an All Star career. He had an all
star coaching career, including winning an NBA Championship. He's a
three time Hall of Famer as a player, as a
coach and Dream Team assistant.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Okay, this is most people just would love to go
to the Hall of Fame. He's in the Hall of
Fame as a player. Then he was good enough to
be one of the greatest coaches ever to go into
the Hall of Fame. Then the Dream Team with Jordan
and bird Magic, he was an assistant coach on that team.
That whole team is in the He's a three time
Hall of Fame back. Wow. So yes, he is really
known as one of the class class acts of the NBA.
(12:31):
So he is going to be missed, he said. They
didn't say how he died, but surrounded by family. That's
all you ever want to hear. We'll stay with us here,
folks on this Monday morning, run the most terrifying story
of the morning for Roeboch. They just recalled a thousand
bottles of.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Proseconds one thousand, you mean a million?
Speaker 1 (12:46):
You know what? See how I quickly got corrected. She
wouldn't be concerned about a thousand. We have that in
the closet. But a million bottles of prosecco have been recalled.
Will explain what's happening there? And America's tree is in place,
it's there. It's a million bottles, folks, It's not a thousand.
(13:11):
As we continue on this Monday morning run, we wouldn't
it wouldn't even be a blip on the radar if
a thousand bottles of prosecco were recalled. No, no, no, no,
but a million, and you got our attention. Yes, they
are being recalled. Why would prosecco be recalled if something
get into it? Is something mixed into the actual proseco. No,
the prosecco ropes is apparently good. It's the bottle that's
(13:34):
the problem.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Yes, they're being recalled for a potential laceration hazard. Whoah,
that does not sound fun. The prosecco in question Kirkland
brand prosecco sold at Costco. That is a very popular brand.
The recall says the bottles can break or shatter, causing
a laceration hazard. At least ten incidents have been reported,
(13:55):
one injury. There was a similar recall a few months
ago on this product. So I wonder if it's the
same issue.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
I think that one, and I think I might have
misspoken with the way I wrote it in here. It
was a similar alert. They told people to bring it back,
but it wasn't officially recalled.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Yes, I remember that because I thought, well, think we
don't have I love Costco, we just don't have one
available to us, because if we did, I would have
been checking the fridge. It would have been highly likely
we would have had a bottle of that in the fridge.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
But they were telling folks at that time, don't open
I'm trying drink, don't even bring it back to the store. Yes,
that was that moment. So now this same stuff, they've
had to take the extra step because apparently it has
kept happening and the dang thing can explode.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
Apparently that is not how you want to enjoy your prosecco.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
All right, final leg of the run here. Now America's
Christmas Tree is in place. The Rockefeller Christmas Tree arrived
this weekend. Roase, you were very excited about this store
when we first found out where the tree was coming from.
And now this is this is always a big deal
in New York.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
I do you know it's a sign of the Times.
The season is upon us. It does. We're starting to
see Christmas lights and Christmas decks all over the place.
Haven't heard Christmas music yet, but that is coming. Okay,
you've heard it already. This is a seventy five foot
Norway spruce. They found the tree in East green Bush,
New York. It's a suburb of albany An eleven Ton tree.
(15:17):
I believe they cut it down over the weekend. It's
a two day trek as they bring it all the
way into Times Square. What a journey that is to
bring that tree into the middle of New York City.
It's the tradition started in nineteen thirty one.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
I did not know this until this morning.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
This is really cool. Construction workers put up a tree
to lift the spirits of folks in Manhattan during the
Great Depression. That is. I mean, it's a cool story
that came out of a tough time. But I love
that we're still doing it. Each year. It's celebrated the
amount of folks. I mean, we tend to avoid Rockefeller
Center this time of year. I used to work you
(15:53):
did too, at NBC.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Right.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
This was a difficult time getting into work, but it
always felt festive. It's cool to see people from all
over the world to see the tree, to take pictures
around the tree. It's just a cool tradition. So yes,
it's Christmas season.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
I like it better now, just to think a couple
of guys wanted to make folks feel better during a
really awful time for this country, and it's turned into
something that's lasted one hundred years. Okay, Now I respect
and appreciate it a whole lot more.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
I know, and we've talked about this. It's really cool
what they do with it. After spreading cheer and joy
for all to see for a couple of months, it
is then literally turned into lumber to help build homes
for habitat for humanity. So it's just a cool story
all around. So if you're around, you should check it out.
It is certainly on your It should be on your
bucket list.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Where we let you go on this Monday, folks, something
wants you to take with you. It is our quote
of the day.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
No matter how many mistakes you make or how slow
you progress, you are still way ahead of everyone who
isn't trying. Oh yeah, I picked that one for you,
you know.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
I love that. That's why I said, I get up
so early. I love the idea of getting ahead of
the world. Why this world is still sleeping?
Speaker 2 (16:59):
And one of the things you cannot stand when anyone
says I'll try.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
M don't tell me that I mean do it, don't
do it. Just tell me you're not gonna do it.
But don't tell me you're gonna try. That means you're
gonna get an effort it. Don't do it. Oh Le's yoda?
You used that one dating?
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Yes, I did not.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
What is it?
Speaker 2 (17:16):
I don't know, but it spoke your language. No matter
how many mistakes you make or how slow you progress,
you are still way ahead of everyone who isn't trying
and without everyone. We hope you have a wonderful Monday.
We are going to try to get home today and
do our very best. We got off early to make
sure it happens. I'm Amy Rovoch and I'm TJ.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Holmes. We will see y'all in New York soon, we hope.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration.

Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero.
