Speaker 1: Morning Run with Amy and TJ.
00:00:02
Speaker 2: An iHeartRadio podcast.
00:00:05
Speaker 3: Hey there, everybody, and welcome to Morning Run.
00:00:08
Speaker 2: It is Monday, October 19th. I'm Amy Robach.
00:00:12
Speaker 1: And I'm TJ Holmes. How are you making it this fine morning, dear lovely?
00:00:16
Speaker 3: Well, we, yeah, we traveled over the weekend, and so, yeah, it's always a little bit of a rough start on that kind of a Monday, but happy to be here with you, babe.
00:00:26
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm trying to get it going. We behaved like college kids this weekend. It's been a while since we did that. We happen to be on a college campus. Thank you to the good city of Boulder University out there. Yeah, I went to a game out there, had a very good weekend. But Rose, we... Look, we go and we hang and we acted like we were back in college this weekend. I was surprised at our behavior.
00:00:49
Speaker 3: It was parents weekend and it was fun to see. I mean, we were looking around at one point. We were at what they call a darty, a day party. at a fraternity house, and it was parents were acting, were dancing and just letting loose more than the kids were.
00:01:04
Speaker 2: It was hilarious.
00:01:05
Speaker 1: Yes, so that was a really good time. Yeah, we kind of went to town this weekend. But it was a hell of a college football weekend, even historic. We'll explain that a little later in the morning run. Now, we got a lot of stops to make with the ropes. You know it's getting serious with the midterms, not just in terms of timing. but also in terms of hopes for the Republicans, because the president certainly is out and about this week. He has a rally every single day this week in a different state.
00:01:36
Speaker 3: Yeah, he is probably trying to make up for what was a fairly horrific week for him.
00:01:42
Speaker 1: It was a tough week.
00:01:43
Speaker 3: And for the administration heading into the midterm. So, yes, he was in Kansas. North Carolina, South Carolina, Iowa, Florida. He, yes, is doing what he can.
00:01:54
Speaker 1: I don't know how he can be president and do all that. He's in a different state holding a rally every single day this week. My goodness. So you'll be looking and you'll be seeing a lot coming from that. But this morning, we have a number of stops to make, including in Rome. We'll make a stop in Wichita, also L.A. New York City subway, San Antonio. We'll stop there. Also in Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Ecuador. We'll make a stop in the South Pacific where we're getting some new news. And we'll make a stop at the weekend box office. But, Rhodes, let's start with a story that is still developing. We're still trying to figure out exactly what happened here.
00:02:29
Speaker 2: That's right.
00:02:30
Speaker 3: Police say a 34-year-old mom killed two people and injured nearly a dozen others after driving her truck through a youth soccer game. This happened on Saturday afternoon in Wichita, Kansas. And here's the sad part. Six-year-old Cole Adrian and 35-year-old Nicholas Schaefer were both killed. And among those injured were five other kids, ages five to nine, a 28-year-old woman and a 68-year-old man.
00:02:57
Speaker 1: Now, some of these are described as bumps and bruises, but others are described as extremely severe injuries. Now, we are still trying to figure out what is going on with this mom because she was released from custody. They say she has been cooperating with this investigation, and no, she did not take off after this accident. So she did stay on the scene, and she is talking to police. Now, they're waiting on toxicology reports at this point, and they're examining the truck. I was trying to see exactly what year would make and model this truck. It was, if there is a mechanical issue they must be looking at. But Roe, she killed two people by driving through this soccer field, or this... There must be a suggestion this could have been some type of accident.
00:03:43
Speaker 3: Yes, it's hard to imagine. Yes, it's hard to imagine any scenario, truly, at this point. And I thought the police chief summed it up. He said, we know what happened, but now we're working very hard to find out why it happened, and we're not there yet. So there is certainly more to come on this. And yes, it's hard to imagine she wouldn't be charged with something. I think they're just trying to figure out what to charge her with. All right, next up on the run, there is an active manhunt for a masked man who shot and killed another man inside a New York City subway station. A very popular one at that over the weekend happened on a Saturday afternoon.
00:04:21
Speaker 2: So they're looking for this man, and they have his picture everywhere.
00:04:24
Speaker 3: Last seen wearing a bright red tracksuit, a black vest, and a black face mask with a backpack.
00:04:31
Speaker 1: They say he shot and killed 26-year-old Daryl Rodriguez following an argument. that began on the platform at the 53rd Street station. This is an all-important and busy Times Square near that area. There are now demands from some advocacy groups to ban all ski masks on mass transit. Police are asking for the public's help in identifying the shooter who has definitely changed clothes by now. Yes.
00:04:58
Speaker 3: All right.
00:04:59
Speaker 2: Next up on the run, this was.
00:05:01
Speaker 3: A shocking and horrific thing to witness, but I believe some 26,000 people did.
00:05:07
Speaker 1: A U.S.
00:05:08
Speaker 3: Service member fell to his death in front of a crowd of college football fans on Saturday while he was rappelling during a pre-game ceremony.
00:05:17
Speaker 1: You see this, I don't see this as often. There are all kinds of pre-game ceremonies, but this is one where they're focusing on one member of the military. Oftentimes they deliver a the game ball, the live in American flag. You see him come down into the parachute, all kinds of stuff. He's supposed to repel from the rafters in front of this crowd. The band is on the damn field, Robes, and it's kind of quiet at the Alamo Dome in San Antonio. The kickoff was between the UT San Antonio team and the Navy. So he was repelling, but Robes, he never slowed down. You repel, it looked like, I don't know, babe, they are investigating this now, but yes, folks, we are describing Robes this horrific scene in which the rafters of a stadium, a man essentially just fell to his death in front of thousands.
00:06:05
Speaker 2: In front of thousands.
00:06:06
Speaker 3: 170 feet, I believe, was how far he was rappelling down from.
00:06:11
Speaker 2: And you're right. You expect them to slow down and that he just, it was quick.
00:06:16
Speaker 1: And fast and horrific. It was just horror in front of those folks. Now, the place went silent, as you can imagine. Folks rushed out. to try to render some kind of aid. They didn't know what condition he was in at the time, but he was eventually carted off in a golf cart, Robes, but the game was delayed. They did play it, but they didn't know at the time. But yes, he did die of his injuries. It's horrible, horrible for him, his family, the military, but Robes, there's trauma. From everybody sitting there, you just watched a man just drop and fall and die in front of you.
00:06:49
Speaker 2: It's sickening. It is sickening.
00:06:51
Speaker 3: All right, next up on the run, a judge has ordered charges dropped against actor Timothy Busfield. He had been facing two counts of criminal sexual contact with a minor, and the alleged incidents they claimed happened on the set of the Fox show The Cleaning Lady when Busfield was directing.
00:07:08
Speaker 1: In response to Busfield's request for dismissal, the judge said prosecutors made several missteps... in presenting the case to the grand jury and, quote, failed to act in a fair and impartial manner, end quote. Now, he did drop this case. They can try to pursue these charges with another grand jury. But, Rose, this is, I don't know how far, how prosecutorial misconduct of some kind. You all screwed this case up and botched it. Didn't make any determination about the merits of the case and the charges whatsoever. but y'all not putting on a good case. This is stunning. Yeah. After all this. Yeah.
00:07:44
Speaker 3: We followed that case and listened to all the evidence that they presented, at least that got them to the grand jury. But, Ooh, I'm, I, I'm so curious to see where this goes.
00:07:55
Speaker 2: If anywhere. All right. Next up on the run. Pope Leo is back.
00:08:06
Speaker 3: He was released from the hospital on Saturday and, And on Sunday, exactly one week after announcing his surgery to remove that nodule on his lung, the Pope was back overlooking St. Peter's Square addressing the faithful.
00:08:19
Speaker 1: This was cool to see. He thanked the crowd of thousands for their prayers while he was hospitalized for what turned out to be a malignant tumor. Many have been wondering if there will be further treatment for the Pope and what it could mean for his papal duties. The Pope sounded like he's moving forward and things are going well. in the right direction, but this is a good point, though. They haven't said a whole lot. What's next? They haven't. What stage is it? Yeah, they haven't told us a whole lot.
00:08:43
Speaker 2: Obviously, yes, he has lung cancer.
00:08:45
Speaker 3: The question is, has it spread, and will he require chemotherapy, which is what a lot of people think may or could happen next. But the Pope said this, now that this delicate phase is behind me, I will gradually resume my activities. Always with God's help and your prayers, this experience has made me feel a special closeness with to all those who are battling illness and infirmity.
00:09:08
Speaker 2: It was beautiful. Look, everyone was out there saying how upbeat he seemed. His voice was strong and.
00:09:13
Speaker 3: It was pretty remarkable given what he has been through. He just had a cancerous tumor removed from his lung a few days ago and he was out there addressing the crowds.
00:09:23
Speaker 2: It was pretty incredible.
00:09:24
Speaker 1: And it was incredible to hear him say that. So many people come to him and turn to him and want to be healed. Really? He ministers to the sick all the time to say, now I understand and feel that better. That was a very human thing for the Pope to say. Yes.
00:09:41
Speaker 3: And I love he always turns it around and makes it about everyone else. He doesn't dwell on anything happening to him.
00:09:48
Speaker 2: Very cool.
00:09:49
Speaker 1: Very good. Very good thing to follow.
00:09:52
Speaker 3: Yes. Next up on the run, just weeks before Election Day, the campaign.
00:09:57
Speaker 1: Is over for Sean Oliver. He's a candidate for.
00:10:01
Speaker 3: Lieutenant governor of Massachusetts. He officially suspended his campaign yesterday.
00:10:06
Speaker 1: Come on, Sean.
00:10:06
Speaker 2: The day after he was arrested for a DUI.
00:10:09
Speaker 1: Come on, Sean. Sean's on the ballot alongside the Republican candidate for governor, but put out a statement saying he didn't want his personal issues to overshadow the election. Police said they responded to a call for assistance late Saturday. And Robes, we say a DUI and you hear that. My first thought was we were swerving, got pulled over.
00:10:27
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I was thinking.
00:10:28
Speaker 1: Robes, this was really, really serious. This was a call about a car that was overturned and had hit. At least five parked cars, several of them, Robes, sustained major damage. We're not just talking knocking off, you know, the rearview mirror type of situation. No, Robes, some serious damage. This could have, he's lucky.
00:10:49
Speaker 2: Wow, thank God they were empty parked cars.
00:10:52
Speaker 1: He's really, really lucky. Well, that's an ugly thing. And Robes, this was that day they had just started early voting. Oh my goodness. So yeah, they just started there in Massachusetts.
00:11:00
Speaker 2: Wow, he was celebrating too early, I guess.
00:11:02
Speaker 1: Maybe, really, I was thinking maybe, wasn't he?
00:11:04
Speaker 3: Wow.
00:11:05
Speaker 1: All right.
00:11:05
Speaker 3: Next up on the run, Sean Diddy Combs has been moved. from his prison in Fort Dix, New Jersey, to a federal prison in Pennsylvania. Following those reports, he was injured in a fight with a notorious drug lord.
00:11:17
Speaker 1: He's now at a low-security facility about 150 miles west of New York. Allenwood Low is the name of it. The Bureau of Prisons confirmed the transfer did not give a lot of details and reasons for the move. Diddy's reps only say that, quote, Sean remains focused on moving forward, and we hope that his time at the new facility will be productive and without unnecessary risks. Without unnecessary disruption.
00:11:40
Speaker 2: He called it an unnecessary disruption. Yeah. Okay. We all remember.
00:11:45
Speaker 3: And by the way, if you want to look a few episodes back, we did a whole, whole episode on Diddy versus the drug Lord.
00:11:51
Speaker 2: It's pretty remarkable.
00:11:52
Speaker 3: Christopher Coke is the man who he allegedly got into this fight with, got a head injury, ended up in the hospital. But this all stemmed from that NBC report saying he was living large in prison and it all the other prisoners to get raided. So they were not very happy with Diddy, and it looked as though he was not going to be safe at that facility any longer.
00:12:15
Speaker 1: Yes, so hopefully now there won't be any more NBC reporting that causes an unnecessary disruption to his prison time. Oh my goodness. That's good stuff. Next up on the run here, Robes, I do not know what to make of this story. Robes, this is one, you got to be thinking about a higher power of some kind. How can this be possible that a priest has died after a crucifix fell on him during Mass this weekend, Robes? And it was being live streamed for all to see. Robes, the timing of this, you throw in some... Halloween, you're saying? Well, religious, the whole thing you tie into this. Robes, the timing of this. Have you seen this video? I don't recommend it.
00:13:00
Speaker 3: I haven't seen it, but all I can think of is The Exorcist or The Omen.
00:13:04
Speaker 1: That type of stuff.
00:13:05
Speaker 2: That's what this feels like.
00:13:06
Speaker 1: Babe, and maybe that is why you and I might see this a little different. Something is going on, just the likelihood of this, but this was another horrific, Patricio Alfredo Sanchez Molinari is his name. He served as the parish priest at the Church of Perpetual Relief. This is in Ecuador. But a lot of these pastors do, and priests, they live stream their services.
00:13:27
Speaker 2: And that's what makes this all the more horrific.
00:13:29
Speaker 3: As he was speaking to the congregation, as this was being live streamed for all to see, a large crucifix behind him began falling forward It crashed down on him, killing him, and he never saw it coming.
00:13:48
Speaker 1: Rose, his congregation is sitting there. He's got people in front of him.
00:13:50
Speaker 2: I cannot imagine.
00:13:51
Speaker 1: You can't see the crowd. And this thing is huge. It's one of those big, oversized, and has Jesus there, the whole scene. Rose, it falls and crushes this man from the back. And even if the crowd saw it starting to move, you couldn't, it wasn't enough time to warn him to get out of the way. Rose, this is.
00:14:09
Speaker 2: Jaw dropped.
00:14:10
Speaker 1: It is some. This is freaky of all the timing.
00:14:14
Speaker 3: Wow.
00:14:14
Speaker 1: And, Rose, there's nothing.
00:14:15
Speaker 3: Shakes.
00:14:16
Speaker 1: This thing should be stable on the wall. And it has the wall. It has to fall perfectly over the front. So it didn't fall down to the ground. It fell over where the only thing that it could hit was him.
00:14:31
Speaker 3: Rose. Oh. I'm actually speechless right now.
00:14:34
Speaker 2: I don't even know what to say. That is so... Tragic, but also so creepy.
00:14:39
Speaker 1: It is traumatic for those folks and a lot of people who are watching this. But yes, hearts go out to them as well. Stay with us here on this Monday morning run when we come back. Folks, we got an update about that search where there were such high hopes to find out what happened to Amelia Earhart. We got some answers. Not the ones we were hoping for. Also coming up, Dancing with the Stars. A suspension over a comment, we'll explain. Also a historic weekend in college football, but a really bad weekend for a lot of teams. And the box office. The movie that lost out on being number one was still definitely the biggest winner of the weekend.
00:15:30
Speaker 2: Welcome back to your Monday morning, Ron.
00:15:32
Speaker 3: And there were such high hopes, we had them too, that this new expedition was going to solve one of the greatest aviation mysteries in history. What happened to Amelia Earhart? A team of researchers recently set out for an island in the South Pacific. In particular, there was this satellite image that showed an airplane-shaped anomaly that and everyone was convinced that this finally was the wreckage of Earhart's plane.
00:15:58
Speaker 1: Yeah, researchers made it to the area, and now they can report it was a tree. It was a tree. It was an actual tree. A tree. Oh, my goodness. Okay, now, fine. I guess they knew the possibility, but something about it, the fact that it was just a tree, like I wish it was something more complicated. So we went all this way. It's a tree. And Robes, they actually say when they got there, the tree had been kind of moved around a little bit to where they got there. It wasn't even shaped like a plane anymore. From the imagery. Yeah, this sucks.
00:16:33
Speaker 3: That is such a disappointment. It's like, what was it when Geraldo tried to open the big safe? It was like this big reveal.
00:16:39
Speaker 1: Is that the Titanic thing? I don't know.
00:16:41
Speaker 2: But I just remember it was a live television event and he opens the safe and it's empty.
00:16:45
Speaker 1: It just reminds me of that. It was kind of that. And they knew this was a possibility. But it was such hype around this being it. Now, the team was made up of researchers from Purdue University. Actually, I didn't realize she worked for the university for a while as an advisor. That's kind of awesome. Anyway, she disappeared, you might remember. No, you won't remember. It was in 1937. She was attempting to become the first woman to pilot around the Earth, but the first person ever to do it at the equator, the widest part of the Earth, of course. Yeah, we're going to have more on this and this journey and what this turned out to be. In Robes, there was another researcher out there who was with a rival team, if you will. Before this team left, he said, yeah, it's probably a tree. He said, I can see the ball of the root. He named the tree and that it's native to the Pacific Islands down there.
00:17:38
Speaker 2: Oh, wow.
00:17:39
Speaker 1: Ouch.
00:17:40
Speaker 2: Yeah, whoops is right. Maybe you should have taken that under advisement.
00:17:43
Speaker 3: All right, next up on the run, Dancing with the Stars is suspending. Popular, and we love him, pro dancer, Val Chermkovsky. I always have a hard time saying his last name, but Chermkovsky.
00:17:56
Speaker 1: You all in the break. I actually said the road. I said, babe, you got his last name right. You take it? Yeah, gotcha.
00:18:01
Speaker 2: Shmurkovsky. Yeah. Val Shmurkovsky.
00:18:04
Speaker 1: There we go.
00:18:05
Speaker 2: And we love his brother, Max, too.
00:18:06
Speaker 3: After what they call an inappropriate post about Judge Carrie Ann Inaba, following last Tuesday's competition, Shmurkovsky went on TikTok after Inaba's critical comments about his pro dancer wife, Jenna Johnson's routine. So he wrote, you almost saw Fresh Prince enter the ballroom last night.
00:18:26
Speaker 2: Obviously, that was a reference to Will Smith.
00:18:28
Speaker 1: Now.
00:18:30
Speaker 3: Was it the reference to him slapping Chris Rock at the 2020 Oscars? Or was it him saying, like, get my wife's name out of your mouth?
00:18:37
Speaker 1: Didn't he add that? Wasn't that in the post, that line? So he.
00:18:40
Speaker 3: We'll get into his response, but in his response to being suspended, he did... reference that specific thing.
00:18:46
Speaker 1: But the initial post didn't reference the keep my wife's name.
00:18:50
Speaker 3: All it said was, you almost saw Fresh Prince enter the ballroom last night.
00:18:54
Speaker 1: And that obviously would lead people to make their own conclusions about what he's suggesting. So he apologized, said he reached out directly to Carrie Ann Inaba and made a, quote, poor decision to reference a meme to keep my wife's name out of the conversation. So that's going to be in there, but he's supposed to be suspended. Well, the show's production company, BBC Studios, released another statement over the weekend. What are they trying to say here?
00:19:18
Speaker 3: Well, this is when on Saturday they announced he was suspended because at first he apologized and they figured, okay, this is over, it's done. And then on Saturday people were pretty shocked because they announced the well-being of everyone who works at Dancing with the Stars is non-negotiable. Val's social media post was inappropriate and and does not reflect the values or standards expected of anyone connected with the show. As a result, he will not participate in next week's show. That was a bold move because they're implying that somehow he was threatening real violence. and that was not going to be tolerated. And he'd been partnered with actress Jenna Dewan. Now she's going to have to go with another pro dancer who was eliminated earlier in the season.
00:20:00
Speaker 2: I think it's interesting.
00:20:01
Speaker 3: Carrie Ann Inaba has not commented publicly at all after Val apologized. He said he apologized to her directly. and she has not commented since his suspension.
00:20:12
Speaker 1: So. Yeah, we're going to get into this one.
00:20:16
Speaker 2: There's some tension, yes.
00:20:16
Speaker 3: We're going to get into this because she did initially respond to the post. There's a lot going on behind the scenes. We'll get into all of it later on the feed, so look for that episode.
00:20:26
Speaker 1: All right, let's get to our last couple of stops on our run this morning. The first one, wild weekend in college football. It was a historic weekend, historic number of top teams lost for the first time in the 90-year history of the AP poll. Robes, five of the top seven teams lost. That did include number one, Georgia. The Bulldogs only spent one week at number one, lost Saturday at home to Auburn. Which was a very difficult game to watch.
00:20:51
Speaker 2: It was a heartbreaker.
00:20:52
Speaker 3: I think pretty much my entire family was in Sanford Stadium, tweeting the hedges there, all excited. They were sending us pictures from the very few moments right before the game began.
00:21:01
Speaker 2: And then, oh, we just looked terrible.
00:21:06
Speaker 1: I don't know what happened. They lost to unranked Auburn. So had a very good friend happy and then had you very unhappy in the same moment. Oh, my goodness.
00:21:15
Speaker 2: I don't know if I can be around said friend for.
00:21:17
Speaker 1: A little while.
00:21:18
Speaker 2: The wound is fresh.
00:21:19
Speaker 1: It'll be fine. Okay, this marks the second straight week, though, that the number one team lost to an unranked opponent, Texas. Happened to them last week. New number one is Miami. First time in 24 years they've been number one. And number two is BYU. Highest ranking they've had since 1984. So there you go. Some movement at the top. It's going to be a fun year.
00:21:36
Speaker 3: Yeah.
00:21:37
Speaker 2: For some people.
00:21:39
Speaker 3: All right.
00:21:39
Speaker 2: Now, y'all won, by the way. Congratulations to the Hogs.
00:21:42
Speaker 1: Yes. Our new coach there, Ryan, congratulations. His first SEC win as the new coach, and it's been a rough year for us in a lot of ways.
00:21:49
Speaker 3: So, you know what? Our Boulder Buffs lost.
00:21:54
Speaker 2: UGA Dogs lost. But, hey, at least the Razorbacks. came out on top.
00:21:58
Speaker 1: Carrying the load for the family. There was a win.
00:22:00
Speaker 2: There was a win.
00:22:01
Speaker 3: All right. And for the final leg of our run, it was number two at the box office, but it was still the bigger winner of the weekend because we're talking about the documentary, You.
00:22:09
Speaker 2: Can See Everything. It earned $ 15 million. million dollars. That might not sound like much. However.
00:22:16
Speaker 1: It's a really, really, really, really, really big deal. This documentary, first of all, runs three hours. It's hard to go see a three-hour movie at all. It's much less or certainly almost impossible to get somebody to go see a documentary that's three hours.
00:22:27
Speaker 2: I was just going to say, action movies, one thing.
00:22:30
Speaker 1: This also makes this extraordinary. It only opened at 855 theaters. That is a very small theatrical release compared to literally 3,000 plus theaters that a lot of these movies are released on. And also... It was only expected to make up to about $ 8 million, but rogues, there was so much buzz online. Of course, what's Elizabeth Holmes, this documentary about her, she was a social media just dynamo, if you will. Not because she wanted to be, but she was so buzzed about and talked about and what she pulled off in this whole scandal. She's in prison until 2030, I think. Yeah, she's there with Ghislaine. Yeah, it's just so much surrounding her and there was so much interest there. That was built up, and there was so much demand, but there weren't a lot of theaters. So people rushed in, and they got it, and yeah.
00:23:15
Speaker 3: Ava, our daughter, lives in Brooklyn, and she was saying that there was a line out the theater to go see this movie. I mean, critics are saying it's the best movie of the year. It's got 99% on Rotten Tomatoes. I mean, it is very well-reviewed, which is certainly helping. The number one movie, by the way, haven't even talked about it, Street Fighter.
00:23:36
Speaker 1: Hmm.
00:23:37
Speaker 2: Earned $ 31 million.
00:23:39
Speaker 1: Again, came in above expectations as well. So again, as soon as the summer is over, there's a drop-off.
00:23:44
Speaker 2: Yes, yes.
00:23:45
Speaker 1: We don't even have a lot of great and big horror movies coming out this month.
00:23:49
Speaker 2: I'm so disappointed.
00:23:49
Speaker 3: This is the month where you would expect if people, and it seems as though with all of the success of horror movies, box office success, I should say, that there would be more that would.
00:23:58
Speaker 2: Be dropping this month. So a little disappointing. And then Other Mommy was tough.
00:24:04
Speaker 1: It was a tough watch. Yeah, and that was the one everybody was looking forward to, I guess. But everything can't be sinners and weapons. You can't be Oscar-worthy every time. And I think a lot of people, and obsessions.
00:24:14
Speaker 2: Obsession, yeah.
00:24:15
Speaker 1: And there's a different standard maybe now. Sometimes I just want to see Jamie Lee Curtis burning her brother once again for the 12th time, and he still comes back.
00:24:25
Speaker 3: Oh, yes.
00:24:25
Speaker 2: We've got those Halloween movies on ad nauseum.
00:24:28
Speaker 3: All right.
00:24:29
Speaker 1: We literally have Psycho and Friday the 13th literally on the two TVs in our studio right now.
00:24:35
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're just in our little box right here in our apartment with horror movies all around us.
00:24:40
Speaker 2: Happy October, everybody. All right. And for your quote of the day on this Monday, the finish line is for the ego. The journey is for the soul.
00:24:51
Speaker 1: That's the truth. Wow, you picked that one on purpose today, huh?
00:24:54
Speaker 3: I just, you know what, we're always trying to get to the next goal, and it's good to have goals, big proponents of that, both of us are, but sometimes we get so caught.
00:25:02
Speaker 2: Up in that, we have to remember that it's.
00:25:04
Speaker 3: The experience, it's what we're learning along the way, and that comes with difficulty, but that's how we learn.
00:25:09
Speaker 2: So I just thought it was a nice moment of reflection.
00:25:12
Speaker 1: I thought you, that was for me, for the marathon, which is in two weeks, and I'm struggling. Also something to remember.
00:25:17
Speaker 3: I absolutely saw that, and I absolutely thought, you know what, sometimes we just need to be reminded, yes, babe, I think we put a lot of pressure on ourselves. So the finish line is for the ego. The journey is for the soul. And with that, everyone, we always appreciate you running with us.
00:25:34
Speaker 2: I'm Amy Robach.
00:25:36
Speaker 1: And I'm TJ Holmes. Run soon.
Speaker 1: Morning Run with Amy and TJ.
00:00:02
Speaker 2: An iHeartRadio podcast.
00:00:05
Speaker 3: Hey there, everybody, and welcome to Morning Run.
00:00:08
Speaker 2: It is Monday, October 19th. I'm Amy Robach.
00:00:12
Speaker 1: And I'm TJ Holmes. How are you making it this fine morning, dear lovely?
00:00:16
Speaker 3: Well, we, yeah, we traveled over the weekend, and so, yeah, it's always a little bit of a rough start on that kind of a Monday, but happy to be here with you, babe.
00:00:26
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm trying to get it going. We behaved like college kids this weekend. It's been a while since we did that. We happen to be on a college campus. Thank you to the good city of Boulder University out there. Yeah, I went to a game out there, had a very good weekend. But Rose, we... Look, we go and we hang and we acted like we were back in college this weekend. I was surprised at our behavior.
00:00:49
Speaker 3: It was parents weekend and it was fun to see. I mean, we were looking around at one point. We were at what they call a darty, a day party. at a fraternity house, and it was parents were acting, were dancing and just letting loose more than the kids were.
00:01:04
Speaker 2: It was hilarious.
00:01:05
Speaker 1: Yes, so that was a really good time. Yeah, we kind of went to town this weekend. But it was a hell of a college football weekend, even historic. We'll explain that a little later in the morning run. Now, we got a lot of stops to make with the ropes. You know it's getting serious with the midterms, not just in terms of timing. but also in terms of hopes for the Republicans, because the president certainly is out and about this week. He has a rally every single day this week in a different state.
00:01:36
Speaker 3: Yeah, he is probably trying to make up for what was a fairly horrific week for him.
00:01:42
Speaker 1: It was a tough week.
00:01:43
Speaker 3: And for the administration heading into the midterm. So, yes, he was in Kansas. North Carolina, South Carolina, Iowa, Florida. He, yes, is doing what he can.
00:01:54
Speaker 1: I don't know how he can be president and do all that. He's in a different state holding a rally every single day this week. My goodness. So you'll be looking and you'll be seeing a lot coming from that. But this morning, we have a number of stops to make, including in Rome. We'll make a stop in Wichita, also L.A. New York City subway, San Antonio. We'll stop there. Also in Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Ecuador. We'll make a stop in the South Pacific where we're getting some new news. And we'll make a stop at the weekend box office. But, Rhodes, let's start with a story that is still developing. We're still trying to figure out exactly what happened here.
00:02:29
Speaker 2: That's right.
00:02:30
Speaker 3: Police say a 34-year-old mom killed two people and injured nearly a dozen others after driving her truck through a youth soccer game. This happened on Saturday afternoon in Wichita, Kansas. And here's the sad part. Six-year-old Cole Adrian and 35-year-old Nicholas Schaefer were both killed. And among those injured were five other kids, ages five to nine, a 28-year-old woman and a 68-year-old man.
00:02:57
Speaker 1: Now, some of these are described as bumps and bruises, but others are described as extremely severe injuries. Now, we are still trying to figure out what is going on with this mom because she was released from custody. They say she has been cooperating with this investigation, and no, she did not take off after this accident. So she did stay on the scene, and she is talking to police. Now, they're waiting on toxicology reports at this point, and they're examining the truck. I was trying to see exactly what year would make and model this truck. It was, if there is a mechanical issue they must be looking at. But Roe, she killed two people by driving through this soccer field, or this... There must be a suggestion this could have been some type of accident.
00:03:43
Speaker 3: Yes, it's hard to imagine. Yes, it's hard to imagine any scenario, truly, at this point. And I thought the police chief summed it up. He said, we know what happened, but now we're working very hard to find out why it happened, and we're not there yet. So there is certainly more to come on this. And yes, it's hard to imagine she wouldn't be charged with something. I think they're just trying to figure out what to charge her with. All right, next up on the run, there is an active manhunt for a masked man who shot and killed another man inside a New York City subway station. A very popular one at that over the weekend happened on a Saturday afternoon.
00:04:21
Speaker 2: So they're looking for this man, and they have his picture everywhere.
00:04:24
Speaker 3: Last seen wearing a bright red tracksuit, a black vest, and a black face mask with a backpack.
00:04:31
Speaker 1: They say he shot and killed 26-year-old Daryl Rodriguez following an argument. that began on the platform at the 53rd Street station. This is an all-important and busy Times Square near that area. There are now demands from some advocacy groups to ban all ski masks on mass transit. Police are asking for the public's help in identifying the shooter who has definitely changed clothes by now. Yes.
00:04:58
Speaker 3: All right.
00:04:59
Speaker 2: Next up on the run, this was.
00:05:01
Speaker 3: A shocking and horrific thing to witness, but I believe some 26,000 people did.
00:05:07
Speaker 1: A U.S.
00:05:08
Speaker 3: Service member fell to his death in front of a crowd of college football fans on Saturday while he was rappelling during a pre-game ceremony.
00:05:17
Speaker 1: You see this, I don't see this as often. There are all kinds of pre-game ceremonies, but this is one where they're focusing on one member of the military. Oftentimes they deliver a the game ball, the live in American flag. You see him come down into the parachute, all kinds of stuff. He's supposed to repel from the rafters in front of this crowd. The band is on the damn field, Robes, and it's kind of quiet at the Alamo Dome in San Antonio. The kickoff was between the UT San Antonio team and the Navy. So he was repelling, but Robes, he never slowed down. You repel, it looked like, I don't know, babe, they are investigating this now, but yes, folks, we are describing Robes this horrific scene in which the rafters of a stadium, a man essentially just fell to his death in front of thousands.
00:06:05
Speaker 2: In front of thousands.
00:06:06
Speaker 3: 170 feet, I believe, was how far he was rappelling down from.
00:06:11
Speaker 2: And you're right. You expect them to slow down and that he just, it was quick.
00:06:16
Speaker 1: And fast and horrific. It was just horror in front of those folks. Now, the place went silent, as you can imagine. Folks rushed out. to try to render some kind of aid. They didn't know what condition he was in at the time, but he was eventually carted off in a golf cart, Robes, but the game was delayed. They did play it, but they didn't know at the time. But yes, he did die of his injuries. It's horrible, horrible for him, his family, the military, but Robes, there's trauma. From everybody sitting there, you just watched a man just drop and fall and die in front of you.
00:06:49
Speaker 2: It's sickening. It is sickening.
00:06:51
Speaker 3: All right, next up on the run, a judge has ordered charges dropped against actor Timothy Busfield. He had been facing two counts of criminal sexual contact with a minor, and the alleged incidents they claimed happened on the set of the Fox show The Cleaning Lady when Busfield was directing.
00:07:08
Speaker 1: In response to Busfield's request for dismissal, the judge said prosecutors made several missteps... in presenting the case to the grand jury and, quote, failed to act in a fair and impartial manner, end quote. Now, he did drop this case. They can try to pursue these charges with another grand jury. But, Rose, this is, I don't know how far, how prosecutorial misconduct of some kind. You all screwed this case up and botched it. Didn't make any determination about the merits of the case and the charges whatsoever. but y'all not putting on a good case. This is stunning. Yeah. After all this. Yeah.
00:07:44
Speaker 3: We followed that case and listened to all the evidence that they presented, at least that got them to the grand jury. But, Ooh, I'm, I, I'm so curious to see where this goes.
00:07:55
Speaker 2: If anywhere. All right. Next up on the run. Pope Leo is back.
00:08:06
Speaker 3: He was released from the hospital on Saturday and, And on Sunday, exactly one week after announcing his surgery to remove that nodule on his lung, the Pope was back overlooking St. Peter's Square addressing the faithful.
00:08:19
Speaker 1: This was cool to see. He thanked the crowd of thousands for their prayers while he was hospitalized for what turned out to be a malignant tumor. Many have been wondering if there will be further treatment for the Pope and what it could mean for his papal duties. The Pope sounded like he's moving forward and things are going well. in the right direction, but this is a good point, though. They haven't said a whole lot. What's next? They haven't. What stage is it? Yeah, they haven't told us a whole lot.
00:08:43
Speaker 2: Obviously, yes, he has lung cancer.
00:08:45
Speaker 3: The question is, has it spread, and will he require chemotherapy, which is what a lot of people think may or could happen next. But the Pope said this, now that this delicate phase is behind me, I will gradually resume my activities. Always with God's help and your prayers, this experience has made me feel a special closeness with to all those who are battling illness and infirmity.
00:09:08
Speaker 2: It was beautiful. Look, everyone was out there saying how upbeat he seemed. His voice was strong and.
00:09:13
Speaker 3: It was pretty remarkable given what he has been through. He just had a cancerous tumor removed from his lung a few days ago and he was out there addressing the crowds.
00:09:23
Speaker 2: It was pretty incredible.
00:09:24
Speaker 1: And it was incredible to hear him say that. So many people come to him and turn to him and want to be healed. Really? He ministers to the sick all the time to say, now I understand and feel that better. That was a very human thing for the Pope to say. Yes.
00:09:41
Speaker 3: And I love he always turns it around and makes it about everyone else. He doesn't dwell on anything happening to him.
00:09:48
Speaker 2: Very cool.
00:09:49
Speaker 1: Very good. Very good thing to follow.
00:09:52
Speaker 3: Yes. Next up on the run, just weeks before Election Day, the campaign.
00:09:57
Speaker 1: Is over for Sean Oliver. He's a candidate for.
00:10:01
Speaker 3: Lieutenant governor of Massachusetts. He officially suspended his campaign yesterday.
00:10:06
Speaker 1: Come on, Sean.
00:10:06
Speaker 2: The day after he was arrested for a DUI.
00:10:09
Speaker 1: Come on, Sean. Sean's on the ballot alongside the Republican candidate for governor, but put out a statement saying he didn't want his personal issues to overshadow the election. Police said they responded to a call for assistance late Saturday. And Robes, we say a DUI and you hear that. My first thought was we were swerving, got pulled over.
00:10:27
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I was thinking.
00:10:28
Speaker 1: Robes, this was really, really serious. This was a call about a car that was overturned and had hit. At least five parked cars, several of them, Robes, sustained major damage. We're not just talking knocking off, you know, the rearview mirror type of situation. No, Robes, some serious damage. This could have, he's lucky.
00:10:49
Speaker 2: Wow, thank God they were empty parked cars.
00:10:52
Speaker 1: He's really, really lucky. Well, that's an ugly thing. And Robes, this was that day they had just started early voting. Oh my goodness. So yeah, they just started there in Massachusetts.
00:11:00
Speaker 2: Wow, he was celebrating too early, I guess.
00:11:02
Speaker 1: Maybe, really, I was thinking maybe, wasn't he?
00:11:04
Speaker 3: Wow.
00:11:05
Speaker 1: All right.
00:11:05
Speaker 3: Next up on the run, Sean Diddy Combs has been moved. from his prison in Fort Dix, New Jersey, to a federal prison in Pennsylvania. Following those reports, he was injured in a fight with a notorious drug lord.
00:11:17
Speaker 1: He's now at a low-security facility about 150 miles west of New York. Allenwood Low is the name of it. The Bureau of Prisons confirmed the transfer did not give a lot of details and reasons for the move. Diddy's reps only say that, quote, Sean remains focused on moving forward, and we hope that his time at the new facility will be productive and without unnecessary risks. Without unnecessary disruption.
00:11:40
Speaker 2: He called it an unnecessary disruption. Yeah. Okay. We all remember.
00:11:45
Speaker 3: And by the way, if you want to look a few episodes back, we did a whole, whole episode on Diddy versus the drug Lord.
00:11:51
Speaker 2: It's pretty remarkable.
00:11:52
Speaker 3: Christopher Coke is the man who he allegedly got into this fight with, got a head injury, ended up in the hospital. But this all stemmed from that NBC report saying he was living large in prison and it all the other prisoners to get raided. So they were not very happy with Diddy, and it looked as though he was not going to be safe at that facility any longer.
00:12:15
Speaker 1: Yes, so hopefully now there won't be any more NBC reporting that causes an unnecessary disruption to his prison time. Oh my goodness. That's good stuff. Next up on the run here, Robes, I do not know what to make of this story. Robes, this is one, you got to be thinking about a higher power of some kind. How can this be possible that a priest has died after a crucifix fell on him during Mass this weekend, Robes? And it was being live streamed for all to see. Robes, the timing of this, you throw in some... Halloween, you're saying? Well, religious, the whole thing you tie into this. Robes, the timing of this. Have you seen this video? I don't recommend it.
00:13:00
Speaker 3: I haven't seen it, but all I can think of is The Exorcist or The Omen.
00:13:04
Speaker 1: That type of stuff.
00:13:05
Speaker 2: That's what this feels like.
00:13:06
Speaker 1: Babe, and maybe that is why you and I might see this a little different. Something is going on, just the likelihood of this, but this was another horrific, Patricio Alfredo Sanchez Molinari is his name. He served as the parish priest at the Church of Perpetual Relief. This is in Ecuador. But a lot of these pastors do, and priests, they live stream their services.
00:13:27
Speaker 2: And that's what makes this all the more horrific.
00:13:29
Speaker 3: As he was speaking to the congregation, as this was being live streamed for all to see, a large crucifix behind him began falling forward It crashed down on him, killing him, and he never saw it coming.
00:13:48
Speaker 1: Rose, his congregation is sitting there. He's got people in front of him.
00:13:50
Speaker 2: I cannot imagine.
00:13:51
Speaker 1: You can't see the crowd. And this thing is huge. It's one of those big, oversized, and has Jesus there, the whole scene. Rose, it falls and crushes this man from the back. And even if the crowd saw it starting to move, you couldn't, it wasn't enough time to warn him to get out of the way. Rose, this is.
00:14:09
Speaker 2: Jaw dropped.
00:14:10
Speaker 1: It is some. This is freaky of all the timing.
00:14:14
Speaker 3: Wow.
00:14:14
Speaker 1: And, Rose, there's nothing.
00:14:15
Speaker 3: Shakes.
00:14:16
Speaker 1: This thing should be stable on the wall. And it has the wall. It has to fall perfectly over the front. So it didn't fall down to the ground. It fell over where the only thing that it could hit was him.
00:14:31
Speaker 3: Rose. Oh. I'm actually speechless right now.
00:14:34
Speaker 2: I don't even know what to say. That is so... Tragic, but also so creepy.
00:14:39
Speaker 1: It is traumatic for those folks and a lot of people who are watching this. But yes, hearts go out to them as well. Stay with us here on this Monday morning run when we come back. Folks, we got an update about that search where there were such high hopes to find out what happened to Amelia Earhart. We got some answers. Not the ones we were hoping for. Also coming up, Dancing with the Stars. A suspension over a comment, we'll explain. Also a historic weekend in college football, but a really bad weekend for a lot of teams. And the box office. The movie that lost out on being number one was still definitely the biggest winner of the weekend.
00:15:30
Speaker 2: Welcome back to your Monday morning, Ron.
00:15:32
Speaker 3: And there were such high hopes, we had them too, that this new expedition was going to solve one of the greatest aviation mysteries in history. What happened to Amelia Earhart? A team of researchers recently set out for an island in the South Pacific. In particular, there was this satellite image that showed an airplane-shaped anomaly that and everyone was convinced that this finally was the wreckage of Earhart's plane.
00:15:58
Speaker 1: Yeah, researchers made it to the area, and now they can report it was a tree. It was a tree. It was an actual tree. A tree. Oh, my goodness. Okay, now, fine. I guess they knew the possibility, but something about it, the fact that it was just a tree, like I wish it was something more complicated. So we went all this way. It's a tree. And Robes, they actually say when they got there, the tree had been kind of moved around a little bit to where they got there. It wasn't even shaped like a plane anymore. From the imagery. Yeah, this sucks.
00:16:33
Speaker 3: That is such a disappointment. It's like, what was it when Geraldo tried to open the big safe? It was like this big reveal.
00:16:39
Speaker 1: Is that the Titanic thing? I don't know.
00:16:41
Speaker 2: But I just remember it was a live television event and he opens the safe and it's empty.
00:16:45
Speaker 1: It just reminds me of that. It was kind of that. And they knew this was a possibility. But it was such hype around this being it. Now, the team was made up of researchers from Purdue University. Actually, I didn't realize she worked for the university for a while as an advisor. That's kind of awesome. Anyway, she disappeared, you might remember. No, you won't remember. It was in 1937. She was attempting to become the first woman to pilot around the Earth, but the first person ever to do it at the equator, the widest part of the Earth, of course. Yeah, we're going to have more on this and this journey and what this turned out to be. In Robes, there was another researcher out there who was with a rival team, if you will. Before this team left, he said, yeah, it's probably a tree. He said, I can see the ball of the root. He named the tree and that it's native to the Pacific Islands down there.
00:17:38
Speaker 2: Oh, wow.
00:17:39
Speaker 1: Ouch.
00:17:40
Speaker 2: Yeah, whoops is right. Maybe you should have taken that under advisement.
00:17:43
Speaker 3: All right, next up on the run, Dancing with the Stars is suspending. Popular, and we love him, pro dancer, Val Chermkovsky. I always have a hard time saying his last name, but Chermkovsky.
00:17:56
Speaker 1: You all in the break. I actually said the road. I said, babe, you got his last name right. You take it? Yeah, gotcha.
00:18:01
Speaker 2: Shmurkovsky. Yeah. Val Shmurkovsky.
00:18:04
Speaker 1: There we go.
00:18:05
Speaker 2: And we love his brother, Max, too.
00:18:06
Speaker 3: After what they call an inappropriate post about Judge Carrie Ann Inaba, following last Tuesday's competition, Shmurkovsky went on TikTok after Inaba's critical comments about his pro dancer wife, Jenna Johnson's routine. So he wrote, you almost saw Fresh Prince enter the ballroom last night.
00:18:26
Speaker 2: Obviously, that was a reference to Will Smith.
00:18:28
Speaker 1: Now.
00:18:30
Speaker 3: Was it the reference to him slapping Chris Rock at the 2020 Oscars? Or was it him saying, like, get my wife's name out of your mouth?
00:18:37
Speaker 1: Didn't he add that? Wasn't that in the post, that line? So he.
00:18:40
Speaker 3: We'll get into his response, but in his response to being suspended, he did... reference that specific thing.
00:18:46
Speaker 1: But the initial post didn't reference the keep my wife's name.
00:18:50
Speaker 3: All it said was, you almost saw Fresh Prince enter the ballroom last night.
00:18:54
Speaker 1: And that obviously would lead people to make their own conclusions about what he's suggesting. So he apologized, said he reached out directly to Carrie Ann Inaba and made a, quote, poor decision to reference a meme to keep my wife's name out of the conversation. So that's going to be in there, but he's supposed to be suspended. Well, the show's production company, BBC Studios, released another statement over the weekend. What are they trying to say here?
00:19:18
Speaker 3: Well, this is when on Saturday they announced he was suspended because at first he apologized and they figured, okay, this is over, it's done. And then on Saturday people were pretty shocked because they announced the well-being of everyone who works at Dancing with the Stars is non-negotiable. Val's social media post was inappropriate and and does not reflect the values or standards expected of anyone connected with the show. As a result, he will not participate in next week's show. That was a bold move because they're implying that somehow he was threatening real violence. and that was not going to be tolerated. And he'd been partnered with actress Jenna Dewan. Now she's going to have to go with another pro dancer who was eliminated earlier in the season.
00:20:00
Speaker 2: I think it's interesting.
00:20:01
Speaker 3: Carrie Ann Inaba has not commented publicly at all after Val apologized. He said he apologized to her directly. and she has not commented since his suspension.
00:20:12
Speaker 1: So. Yeah, we're going to get into this one.
00:20:16
Speaker 2: There's some tension, yes.
00:20:16
Speaker 3: We're going to get into this because she did initially respond to the post. There's a lot going on behind the scenes. We'll get into all of it later on the feed, so look for that episode.
00:20:26
Speaker 1: All right, let's get to our last couple of stops on our run this morning. The first one, wild weekend in college football. It was a historic weekend, historic number of top teams lost for the first time in the 90-year history of the AP poll. Robes, five of the top seven teams lost. That did include number one, Georgia. The Bulldogs only spent one week at number one, lost Saturday at home to Auburn. Which was a very difficult game to watch.
00:20:51
Speaker 2: It was a heartbreaker.
00:20:52
Speaker 3: I think pretty much my entire family was in Sanford Stadium, tweeting the hedges there, all excited. They were sending us pictures from the very few moments right before the game began.
00:21:01
Speaker 2: And then, oh, we just looked terrible.
00:21:06
Speaker 1: I don't know what happened. They lost to unranked Auburn. So had a very good friend happy and then had you very unhappy in the same moment. Oh, my goodness.
00:21:15
Speaker 2: I don't know if I can be around said friend for.
00:21:17
Speaker 1: A little while.
00:21:18
Speaker 2: The wound is fresh.
00:21:19
Speaker 1: It'll be fine. Okay, this marks the second straight week, though, that the number one team lost to an unranked opponent, Texas. Happened to them last week. New number one is Miami. First time in 24 years they've been number one. And number two is BYU. Highest ranking they've had since 1984. So there you go. Some movement at the top. It's going to be a fun year.
00:21:36
Speaker 3: Yeah.
00:21:37
Speaker 2: For some people.
00:21:39
Speaker 3: All right.
00:21:39
Speaker 2: Now, y'all won, by the way. Congratulations to the Hogs.
00:21:42
Speaker 1: Yes. Our new coach there, Ryan, congratulations. His first SEC win as the new coach, and it's been a rough year for us in a lot of ways.
00:21:49
Speaker 3: So, you know what? Our Boulder Buffs lost.
00:21:54
Speaker 2: UGA Dogs lost. But, hey, at least the Razorbacks. came out on top.
00:21:58
Speaker 1: Carrying the load for the family. There was a win.
00:22:00
Speaker 2: There was a win.
00:22:01
Speaker 3: All right. And for the final leg of our run, it was number two at the box office, but it was still the bigger winner of the weekend because we're talking about the documentary, You.
00:22:09
Speaker 2: Can See Everything. It earned $ 15 million. million dollars. That might not sound like much. However.
00:22:16
Speaker 1: It's a really, really, really, really, really big deal. This documentary, first of all, runs three hours. It's hard to go see a three-hour movie at all. It's much less or certainly almost impossible to get somebody to go see a documentary that's three hours.
00:22:27
Speaker 2: I was just going to say, action movies, one thing.
00:22:30
Speaker 1: This also makes this extraordinary. It only opened at 855 theaters. That is a very small theatrical release compared to literally 3,000 plus theaters that a lot of these movies are released on. And also... It was only expected to make up to about $ 8 million, but rogues, there was so much buzz online. Of course, what's Elizabeth Holmes, this documentary about her, she was a social media just dynamo, if you will. Not because she wanted to be, but she was so buzzed about and talked about and what she pulled off in this whole scandal. She's in prison until 2030, I think. Yeah, she's there with Ghislaine. Yeah, it's just so much surrounding her and there was so much interest there. That was built up, and there was so much demand, but there weren't a lot of theaters. So people rushed in, and they got it, and yeah.
00:23:15
Speaker 3: Ava, our daughter, lives in Brooklyn, and she was saying that there was a line out the theater to go see this movie. I mean, critics are saying it's the best movie of the year. It's got 99% on Rotten Tomatoes. I mean, it is very well-reviewed, which is certainly helping. The number one movie, by the way, haven't even talked about it, Street Fighter.
00:23:36
Speaker 1: Hmm.
00:23:37
Speaker 2: Earned $ 31 million.
00:23:39
Speaker 1: Again, came in above expectations as well. So again, as soon as the summer is over, there's a drop-off.
00:23:44
Speaker 2: Yes, yes.
00:23:45
Speaker 1: We don't even have a lot of great and big horror movies coming out this month.
00:23:49
Speaker 2: I'm so disappointed.
00:23:49
Speaker 3: This is the month where you would expect if people, and it seems as though with all of the success of horror movies, box office success, I should say, that there would be more that would.
00:23:58
Speaker 2: Be dropping this month. So a little disappointing. And then Other Mommy was tough.
00:24:04
Speaker 1: It was a tough watch. Yeah, and that was the one everybody was looking forward to, I guess. But everything can't be sinners and weapons. You can't be Oscar-worthy every time. And I think a lot of people, and obsessions.
00:24:14
Speaker 2: Obsession, yeah.
00:24:15
Speaker 1: And there's a different standard maybe now. Sometimes I just want to see Jamie Lee Curtis burning her brother once again for the 12th time, and he still comes back.
00:24:25
Speaker 3: Oh, yes.
00:24:25
Speaker 2: We've got those Halloween movies on ad nauseum.
00:24:28
Speaker 3: All right.
00:24:29
Speaker 1: We literally have Psycho and Friday the 13th literally on the two TVs in our studio right now.
00:24:35
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're just in our little box right here in our apartment with horror movies all around us.
00:24:40
Speaker 2: Happy October, everybody. All right. And for your quote of the day on this Monday, the finish line is for the ego. The journey is for the soul.
00:24:51
Speaker 1: That's the truth. Wow, you picked that one on purpose today, huh?
00:24:54
Speaker 3: I just, you know what, we're always trying to get to the next goal, and it's good to have goals, big proponents of that, both of us are, but sometimes we get so caught.
00:25:02
Speaker 2: Up in that, we have to remember that it's.
00:25:04
Speaker 3: The experience, it's what we're learning along the way, and that comes with difficulty, but that's how we learn.
00:25:09
Speaker 2: So I just thought it was a nice moment of reflection.
00:25:12
Speaker 1: I thought you, that was for me, for the marathon, which is in two weeks, and I'm struggling. Also something to remember.
00:25:17
Speaker 3: I absolutely saw that, and I absolutely thought, you know what, sometimes we just need to be reminded, yes, babe, I think we put a lot of pressure on ourselves. So the finish line is for the ego. The journey is for the soul. And with that, everyone, we always appreciate you running with us.
00:25:34
Speaker 2: I'm Amy Robach.
00:25:36
Speaker 1: And I'm TJ Holmes. Run soon.
