Speaker 1: Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast. Hey there, everybody, welcome to Morning Run. It's Monday, TJ's favorite day of the week, March ninth. I made me rovock off to a great start.
00:00:16
Speaker 2: Uh, you are right, you're just reminding me. I've been dragging a little bit. But a reminder. It's Monday, it's renewal time. Yes, that just hyped me up just a little bit. It is Monday, March night. Hope you adjusted well to daylight saving you said it's messing you up a little bit today. Yeah, maybe not yesterday.
00:00:32
Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like I got up a full hour before I needed to and I'm dragging. I'm and I do think that's the thing. I was asking myself, why am I dracking so much? And I really think it's that one.
00:00:44
Speaker 3: It's weird.
00:00:45
Speaker 1: We travel a lot, used to time changes, but somehow this always messes me up.
00:00:49
Speaker 2: Yeah, it feels about normal to me. This is every day by folks, wherever you are. I hope you are doing well and adjusting well. We got a lot to get to. A lot happened over the weekend. We're gonna be making stops in Tehran and Hugh in Atlanta, in Los Angeles, here in New York City as well. But we do need to begin with the war in Iran. They've been warning us Robes, I think the President in his first announcement about this war said we could expect American casualties, American deaths, and sure enough, we could probably expect maybe the longer this goes, to get these kinds of updates.
00:01:20
Speaker 1: Yes, Unfortunately, we have to report that a seventh US service member has now died in the war with Iran. The Pentagon making that announcement yesterday. The service member died from injuries sustained March first during an attack in Saudi Arabia, and as of this recording, we have not gotten the identity. They have not publicly identified who that service member is.
00:01:43
Speaker 2: But other word we're getting this morning as we continue on the Ran, that Auran has a new Supreme leader the name Ayatola Hamane, which absolutely Robes should sound familiar to everybody.
00:01:56
Speaker 3: That's correct.
00:01:57
Speaker 1: Mosch Taba Hamone is this son of Supreme Leader Hamone, who was killed in early airstrikes by the US and Israel at the start of the war. Now, Iran state television made the announcement that a special council of clerics selected the fifty six year old as the new leader, and he.
00:02:16
Speaker 2: Is only the third leader of the Iranian Republic since it was formed back in nineteen seventy nine. The question robes everybody's asking how long is he gonna last as supreme leader? Because this is one of those this isn't figurative. He quite literally might have a target on his back.
00:02:32
Speaker 3: He absolutely does have a target on his back.
00:02:35
Speaker 1: If you heard President Trump and Israel, Yes, President Trump and Israel have both said that any new leader would immediately be fair game for assassination, and Trump went even further saying any new leader wouldn't last long without his approval, and he is already publicly stated because this was a possibility that Hamine's Sun would be announced as leader, that he was unacceptable.
00:03:01
Speaker 2: No reaction at least as of this recording to him officially now being put in place, continuing on the run here now and still related to the war and iron. We did expect this and we are absolutely seeing it. Oil and energy prices hitting highs that we haven't seen in years. Oil hit one hundred dollars a barrel over the weekend the first time, it's hit one hundred dollars since summer of twenty twenty two.
00:03:22
Speaker 1: And so, as you might expect, gas prices are now at a national average of three dollars and forty five cents.
00:03:29
Speaker 3: That's up fifty cents in just the past week.
00:03:32
Speaker 1: And it doesn't look like they're going in any other direction except for up and.
00:03:37
Speaker 3: Next up on the run.
00:03:38
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, by the way, with all of that going on, we are still in a partial government shutdown and the impact wow is showing up at our airports.
00:03:49
Speaker 2: Yes, this has been going on since February fourteenth, I have that right robe. It's been nearly a month now since the shutdown started. This is over democrats insistence that ICE be reformed before Democrats will agree to fund the Department of Homeland Security. Of course, isis under DHS. TSA is also under Homeland Security, So that means no funding for TSA, which means robes, no paychecks for those TSA workers, which.
00:04:18
Speaker 1: Means that a lot of folks call out sick, and not because they're pissed off, but a lot of times because they got to find another way to bring in money right now. So Sunday passengers started feeling the effects at airports in Houston, Atlanta, New Orleans and beyond. This is crazy. If you've seen the pictures and the video. Security lines we're talking two, three, four, even five hours long reported in some places. I mean, that's insane. The airlines and TSA were putting out warnings for passengers saying you might want to get to the airport five hours before your flight, all due to yes, staffing shortages.
00:04:55
Speaker 2: We say this is the start of the I guess it's different for different places, but this is March's spring breaks break. So that is the big rush they are about to get. Continuing on the run, here now more evidence that your government is working for you. The President said no bills will be signed into law until he gets what he wants, which is the passage of the Save Act. Is the Save Act or Save America Act?
00:05:21
Speaker 3: I thought it was the Save Act.
00:05:23
Speaker 2: Save Act? Okay, So what we're talking about here, you've been seeing it in headlines quite a bit. But it's the new stricter voter ID law that critics call a voter suppression law.
00:05:33
Speaker 1: So here's what Trump wrote about on truth Social It must be done immediately, It supersedes everything else, must go to the front of the line. I, as president, will not sign other bills until this is past and not the watered down version. Go for the gold must show voter ID and proof of citizenship. No mail in ballots except for military illness, disability travel well. Minority Leader Chuck Schumer had a response to Trump's demands.
00:06:02
Speaker 2: To make you feel good. This doesn't make you feel good, so be it.
00:06:05
Speaker 1: There will be total gridlock in the Senate. Wow, do we really need another game of chicken right now? Because I feel like that's.
00:06:11
Speaker 3: All that happens.
00:06:12
Speaker 2: Who flinches, nobody nobody.
00:06:14
Speaker 3: And the American public loses.
00:06:16
Speaker 2: And it is the Save America Act. Have you check that? That's what it's called. But here's the thing. The President say you won't sign any bills at all, he doesn't have to a reminder that the way the law works, the president doesn't sign a bill into law after ten days, it immediately it automatically becomes law.
00:06:39
Speaker 3: He'd have to veto the bill heah.
00:06:41
Speaker 2: To veto, but he doesn't not going to be able to override the veto in the in the House. But the other way they can do this, they'd have to shut down Congress within the ten days and then it won't become law. To your point, more.
00:06:54
Speaker 3: Games, please, please please, can we stop this all right?
00:06:57
Speaker 1: Next up on the run, the FBI is investgating two improvised explosive devices that were thrown during a pretty chaotic scene that was all happening outside of the residence Gracie Mansion, New York Mayor Johann Mamdani.
00:07:12
Speaker 2: Yeah, the police said the devices were in fact real, included shrapnel, had a fuse. Now neither one detonated. Two men from Pennsylvania were actually arrested eighteen nineteen years old.
00:07:23
Speaker 3: I was a men teenagers. I know officially they are men.
00:07:27
Speaker 1: But this all happened during a clash of protesters at the mayor's mansion. There was an anti Islam group versus protesters who.
00:07:36
Speaker 2: Were showed up to take them off upset.
00:07:38
Speaker 3: About the anti Islam protest. So and then the other scary thing.
00:07:42
Speaker 1: A third device was found later at a car. But these, like you said, were real devices that could have done some major harm if they had detonated.
00:07:51
Speaker 2: All right, Continuing on the run here, on this Monday morning, police say a woman with an assault rifle open fire on the La home of Rihanna well, we can't tell you. Nobody was injured. We should say that first of all, Rose, But the woman is in police custody this morning. But an odd scary scene.
00:08:08
Speaker 1: Here, yeah, I mean, this was an assault rifle. I think they said at least ten bullets hit the outside of Rihanna's home. It happened around one o'clock in the afternoon, so broad daylight. It was a beautiful day yesterday in LA. And here's the other scary part. Police say Rihanna was home at the time. But thankfully no one was injured. We have no idea why this one would have done it. She drove up, just started shooting out of her tesla. And I believe there's a hearing schedule for later today for this woman, so maybe we'll get some more details. But this is a scary and strange incident.
00:08:41
Speaker 2: Why the tesla detail it was of note, I don't know why southern California, La.
00:08:47
Speaker 3: I bet it was white. You go, oh, white tesla everywhere in LA.
00:08:50
Speaker 2: All Right, we'll stay with us folks here on this Monday morning. Ron when we come back, arrest in peace to a dear, beloved and recognizable actress who's responsible for one of the cutest scenes in one of my favorite movies. We will explain that also coming up also in movie news, things went terribly, terribly wrong for a big budget movie with some big time stars in it. This weekend we'll check in at the box office and Robes and not gonna have it out. We run marathons, so y'all gonna give medals to people who only finished eighteen miles, but they had a good reason to say. We continue now on this Monday morning run and folks, as we record this, I just happened to look up at the TV and we absolutely do have Ghostbusters playing. We have the original Ghostbusters on in honor of Jennifer Runyon. The actress Jennifer Runyon has died at the age of sixty five.
00:09:55
Speaker 1: Ropes.
00:09:55
Speaker 2: Her face immediately for me was Ghostbusters. But a lot of people immediately even the name, certainly see the face and they think Charles in Charge.
00:10:03
Speaker 3: Charles in Charge.
00:10:04
Speaker 1: I loved, loved that sitcom when I was growing up.
00:10:08
Speaker 3: Yes she was.
00:10:10
Speaker 1: She was Scott Bayo's girlfriend, his love interest at least in that first season of Charles in Charge. And then, of course her unforgettable scene in one of your favorite movies Ghostbusters and what is that scene.
00:10:24
Speaker 2: It's a classic at the beginning when you first are introduced to the Ghostbusters, their character they're running. Bill Murray is doing an experiment and when he zaps people, if they don't guess correctly what's on these cards, they can't see and he was she got all of them wrong. But he was sweet on her, so he never's after her.
00:10:42
Speaker 3: He said, wow, you have a gift. You got it right again, You a bank gift? Yeah, She's like, really you think?
00:10:49
Speaker 2: So she played it perfectly. She's just a sweet, sweet lady and died at the age of sixty five, according to her dear friend. An actress as well put out a statement saying she passed after a brief battle with cancer. But again, you hear six. That is incredibly young these days.
00:11:03
Speaker 3: But we are playing her scene.
00:11:05
Speaker 1: I got to watch it again in honor of her incredible life. All right, Next up on the Run, something went terribly wrong at the box office for what was a highly anticipated, big, big budget, stars studded movie opening this weekend. We're talking about The Bride, and it turned out to be a colossal bust. You have big Hollywood names attached to this, and interestingly enough, you and I and we kind of had a you know, it was a weather weekend for New York that would have been perfect to go to the movies.
00:11:37
Speaker 3: It was misty and like hazy and overcast, and we were not.
00:11:41
Speaker 1: Both of us were like, eh, we had no desire to see this, and apparently no one else did either.
00:11:46
Speaker 2: We're horror movie fans and we had no desire. I don't know where something went wrong in the marketing of this movie that big horror movie folks like us.
00:11:58
Speaker 3: It seemed to maybe that was it. We said that, and I think, look, I don't know, it's weird that we had that feeling.
00:12:04
Speaker 2: We like fun horror movies.
00:12:06
Speaker 1: We like fun horror movies, we like exciting horror movies. This one seemed like it was really just serious and dark and heavy, and so it just wasn't something that made us want to go to the movies.
00:12:16
Speaker 2: And I feel bad.
00:12:18
Speaker 3: It must have been something everyone thought.
00:12:20
Speaker 2: I now I feel bad. This is a ninety million dollar budget movie that made seven million dollars this weekend. That is just horrific. Christian Bale Jesse Buckley. She is the hottest thing on the planet right now.
00:12:33
Speaker 3: Is she naty to think?
00:12:34
Speaker 2: Didn't make Maggie Gillen Hall. This was her second time directing. Her first one was a hit. It was an indie hit. She was tailed for that one with Man Hate to See This Happen Hoppers, the other animated movie It picks all right, it made forty six million this weekend. But the Rotten Tomatoes scores aren't terrible. I guess for the Bride the Brian it's not terrible.
00:12:55
Speaker 1: Seventy four percent audience on Rotten Tomatoes and people who did go see it likely and maybe word of mouth will will push it forward.
00:13:03
Speaker 2: But we should go see.
00:13:04
Speaker 1: The critics only gave it fifty nine percent, but I don't look at as much. The audience score means something.
00:13:09
Speaker 3: So okay, maybe we.
00:13:11
Speaker 1: Feel bad enough we should go feel bad that we should go and check it out.
00:13:15
Speaker 2: We support our horror movies, and we failed this one. Sorry all right?
00:13:18
Speaker 3: Next up on the run. Wooh and this is the final look of our run.
00:13:22
Speaker 1: And it was maybe a lot of folks want and done marathons because I am, oh my goodness, the Los Angeles Marathon. We actually saw it in person last year, remember that, But this year they actually I've never heard of this before, announced that they are going to and we're going to award medals to people who finished mile eighteen, not the full twenty six point two miles.
00:13:46
Speaker 2: I don't like that.
00:13:47
Speaker 1: I don't either, But there was a good reason, maybe even a life or death reasons, so to make this.
00:13:53
Speaker 2: I can't take issue with it.
00:13:54
Speaker 3: It's hot.
00:13:55
Speaker 2: You cannot do this in heat, you just cannot. It is dangerous and yes, to your point, rolled deadly. When you're talking about temperatures in the mid eighties, mid and upper eighties, if you go out and run three miles now, you need to be paying attention to your body.
00:14:14
Speaker 3: Twenty six miles in that babe. Do you remember we ran this is a few years ago.
00:14:18
Speaker 1: We were training for the New York City Marathon, and I believe it was in the eighties. It was around noon and I actually at mile ten just completely. I actually was concerned about my health, had to stop, was hyperventilating. I cannot imagine. Actually, my cousin ran the LA Marathon. And this is a dude who does a three point thirty marathon and I think he's got eight or nine under his belt.
00:14:39
Speaker 3: He told me it took him almost five hours.
00:14:43
Speaker 2: So there was a debate. It makes sense that they do this because they're trying to get people to not push themselves. Right, I've trained for six months with this marathon. I'm on mile eighteen. I feel like I'm going to be sick, but I can't stop. They were trying to get folks an incentive. Hey, it's okay, get your metal at a eighteen and just get off the course, and a lot of people took them up on that. The debate was whether or not some people say, oh wait a minute, twenty six point two, I've run all these marathons in my life and got a metal they thought it was. They took issue with that.
00:15:12
Speaker 1: Yeah, look, I understand in terms of people because people have what do they call it, finish line syndrome or what's it called, like summit syndrome where you you think, okay, I'm almost there. You work so hard, and yes, you push your body beyond what it should or what you should, and yes, people die. People die crossing finish lines or trying to cross finish lines, and that's concerning.
00:15:33
Speaker 3: I know that. I think Berlin was seventy was it seventy seven? When I crossed the finish line.
00:15:39
Speaker 1: It was one of the hardest marathons I've ever competed or completed, but this was almost ten degrees warmer.
00:15:45
Speaker 2: And it's smart on them to do this, no matter what you say. Look, it's about maybe not even finishing, but the metal does commemorate that you went through the experience, that you trained for the experience, So don't necessarily have an issue with that. But it's a safety issue. We do understand. You want to mention that on a mayorck and Nathan Maren won. It was the closest finish in race history. If you get a chance, go look it up and watch the absolute end. He closed on this guy in the last mile and sprinted in mile twenty six. The other guy collapsed at the finish line and he got across it. It's just stuff you don't see you in marathons that often, so check you it out before we let you go. Something we would like for you to consider it is our quote of the day Robes. This was a little heavy, okay, and it came from a good place, and it's well how all of us thinking about our loved ones, in particular maybe our parents, but the quote is all of the best parts of me came from you. I would give anything for one more day together. That coming to us from the daughter, the daughter robes of the actress who just passed away from of course the movie we're looking at. I replayed it so there she is again on screen. Jennifer Runyan's daughter Bailey Corman put that out, that statement, and this is it was one of the cool things. We blame our parents for a.
00:17:01
Speaker 3: Lot all east our therapists tell us the stuff.
00:17:04
Speaker 2: That maybe is our responsibility we blame them for. Let's go unpack that, but we have to remember the best parts of all of us. Everything you think is good about you you can trace back to your parents and something you got from that house and growing up, or even a physical feature. Positively, all the best parson be came from you. I would give anything for one more day together. That line we always say and think that when somebody passes man, I'm meant to reach out or I'm meant to respond. Just it was a reminder of us. It was sweet as heartbreaking, but it was a reminder we could all use today.
00:17:35
Speaker 1: Yeah, hug your parents or call them, tell them you love them. That like you don't know you don't know sixty five, you would never think that that would be the end. So yeah, I mean, that's a beautiful reminder for all of us who still do have our parents in our lives to show them a little love and a little gratitude and.
00:17:51
Speaker 2: All of our parents over the age of sixty five, well beyond in some cases. But take that with you today, folks from Bailey Korman who just lost her moms saying all the best parts of me came from you. How we give anything for one more day together. And with that, folks, we hope you are off to a good start on your Monday. We appreciate you always running with us. I'm TJ.
00:18:11
Speaker 3: Holme and I'm Amy Roboch. We will talk to you soon.
Speaker 1: Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast. Hey there, everybody, welcome to Morning Run. It's Monday, TJ's favorite day of the week, March ninth. I made me rovock off to a great start.

Speaker 1: Next up on the run, the FBI is investgating two improvised explosive devices that were thrown during a pretty chaotic scene that was all happening outside of the residence Gracie Mansion, New York Mayor Johann Mamdani.
00:07:12
Speaker 2: Yeah, the police said the devices were in fact real, included shrapnel, had a fuse. Now neither one detonated. Two men from Pennsylvania were actually arrested eighteen nineteen years old.
00:07:23
Speaker 3: I was a men teenagers. I know officially they are men.
00:07:27
Speaker 1: But this all happened during a clash of protesters at the mayor's mansion. There was an anti Islam group versus protesters who.
00:07:36
Speaker 2: Were showed up to take them off upset.
00:07:38
Speaker 3: About the anti Islam protest. So and then the other scary thing.
00:07:42
Speaker 1: A third device was found later at a car. But these, like you said, were real devices that could have done some major harm if they had detonated.
00:07:51
Speaker 2: All right, Continuing on the run here, on this Monday morning, police say a woman with an assault rifle open fire on the La home of Rihanna well, we can't tell you. Nobody was injured. We should say that first of all, Rose, But the woman is in police custody this morning. But an odd scary scene.
00:08:08
Speaker 1: Here, yeah, I mean, this was an assault rifle. I think they said at least ten bullets hit the outside of Rihanna's home. It happened around one o'clock in the afternoon, so broad daylight. It was a beautiful day yesterday in LA. And here's the other scary part. Police say Rihanna was home at the time. But thankfully no one was injured. We have no idea why this one would have done it. She drove up, just started shooting out of her tesla. And I believe there's a hearing schedule for later today for this woman, so maybe we'll get some more details. But this is a scary and strange incident.
00:08:41
Speaker 2: Why the tesla detail it was of note, I don't know why southern California, La.
00:08:47
Speaker 3: I bet it was white. You go, oh, white tesla everywhere in LA.
00:08:50
Speaker 2: All Right, we'll stay with us folks here on this Monday morning. Ron when we come back, arrest in peace to a dear, beloved and recognizable actress who's responsible for one of the cutest scenes in one of my favorite movies. We will explain that also coming up also in movie news, things went terribly, terribly wrong for a big budget movie with some big time stars in it. This weekend we'll check in at the box office and Robes and not gonna have it out. We run marathons, so y'all gonna give medals to people who only finished eighteen miles, but they had a good reason to say. We continue now on this Monday morning run and folks, as we record this, I just happened to look up at the TV and we absolutely do have Ghostbusters playing. We have the original Ghostbusters on in honor of Jennifer Runyon. The actress Jennifer Runyon has died at the age of sixty five.
00:09:55
Speaker 1: Ropes.
00:09:55
Speaker 2: Her face immediately for me was Ghostbusters. But a lot of people immediately even the name, certainly see the face and they think Charles in Charge.
00:10:03
Speaker 3: Charles in Charge.
00:10:04
Speaker 1: I loved, loved that sitcom when I was growing up.
00:10:08
Speaker 3: Yes she was.
00:10:10
Speaker 1: She was Scott Bayo's girlfriend, his love interest at least in that first season of Charles in Charge. And then, of course her unforgettable scene in one of your favorite movies Ghostbusters and what is that scene.
00:10:24
Speaker 2: It's a classic at the beginning when you first are introduced to the Ghostbusters, their character they're running. Bill Murray is doing an experiment and when he zaps people, if they don't guess correctly what's on these cards, they can't see and he was she got all of them wrong. But he was sweet on her, so he never's after her.
00:10:42
Speaker 3: He said, wow, you have a gift. You got it right again, You a bank gift? Yeah, She's like, really you think?
00:10:49
Speaker 2: So she played it perfectly. She's just a sweet, sweet lady and died at the age of sixty five, according to her dear friend. An actress as well put out a statement saying she passed after a brief battle with cancer. But again, you hear six. That is incredibly young these days.
00:11:03
Speaker 3: But we are playing her scene.
00:11:05
Speaker 1: I got to watch it again in honor of her incredible life. All right, Next up on the Run, something went terribly wrong at the box office for what was a highly anticipated, big, big budget, stars studded movie opening this weekend. We're talking about The Bride, and it turned out to be a colossal bust. You have big Hollywood names attached to this, and interestingly enough, you and I and we kind of had a you know, it was a weather weekend for New York that would have been perfect to go to the movies.
00:11:37
Speaker 3: It was misty and like hazy and overcast, and we were not.
00:11:41
Speaker 1: Both of us were like, eh, we had no desire to see this, and apparently no one else did either.
00:11:46
Speaker 2: We're horror movie fans and we had no desire. I don't know where something went wrong in the marketing of this movie that big horror movie folks like us.
00:11:58
Speaker 3: It seemed to maybe that was it. We said that, and I think, look, I don't know, it's weird that we had that feeling.
00:12:04
Speaker 2: We like fun horror movies.
00:12:06
Speaker 1: We like fun horror movies, we like exciting horror movies. This one seemed like it was really just serious and dark and heavy, and so it just wasn't something that made us want to go to the movies.
00:12:16
Speaker 2: And I feel bad.
00:12:18
Speaker 3: It must have been something everyone thought.
00:12:20
Speaker 2: I now I feel bad. This is a ninety million dollar budget movie that made seven million dollars this weekend. That is just horrific. Christian Bale Jesse Buckley. She is the hottest thing on the planet right now.
00:12:33
Speaker 3: Is she naty to think?
00:12:34
Speaker 2: Didn't make Maggie Gillen Hall. This was her second time directing. Her first one was a hit. It was an indie hit. She was tailed for that one with Man Hate to See This Happen Hoppers, the other animated movie It picks all right, it made forty six million this weekend. But the Rotten Tomatoes scores aren't terrible. I guess for the Bride the Brian it's not terrible.
00:12:55
Speaker 1: Seventy four percent audience on Rotten Tomatoes and people who did go see it likely and maybe word of mouth will will push it forward.
00:13:03
Speaker 2: But we should go see.
00:13:04
Speaker 1: The critics only gave it fifty nine percent, but I don't look at as much. The audience score means something.
00:13:09
Speaker 3: So okay, maybe we.
00:13:11
Speaker 1: Feel bad enough we should go feel bad that we should go and check it out.
00:13:15
Speaker 2: We support our horror movies, and we failed this one. Sorry all right?
00:13:18
Speaker 3: Next up on the run. Wooh and this is the final look of our run.
00:13:22
Speaker 1: And it was maybe a lot of folks want and done marathons because I am, oh my goodness, the Los Angeles Marathon. We actually saw it in person last year, remember that, But this year they actually I've never heard of this before, announced that they are going to and we're going to award medals to people who finished mile eighteen, not the full twenty six point two miles.
00:13:46
Speaker 2: I don't like that.
00:13:47
Speaker 1: I don't either, But there was a good reason, maybe even a life or death reasons, so to make this.
00:13:53
Speaker 2: I can't take issue with it.
00:13:54
Speaker 3: It's hot.
00:13:55
Speaker 2: You cannot do this in heat, you just cannot. It is dangerous and yes, to your point, rolled deadly. When you're talking about temperatures in the mid eighties, mid and upper eighties, if you go out and run three miles now, you need to be paying attention to your body.
00:14:14
Speaker 3: Twenty six miles in that babe. Do you remember we ran this is a few years ago.
00:14:18
Speaker 1: We were training for the New York City Marathon, and I believe it was in the eighties. It was around noon and I actually at mile ten just completely. I actually was concerned about my health, had to stop, was hyperventilating. I cannot imagine. Actually, my cousin ran the LA Marathon. And this is a dude who does a three point thirty marathon and I think he's got eight or nine under his belt.
00:14:39
Speaker 3: He told me it took him almost five hours.
00:14:43
Speaker 2: So there was a debate. It makes sense that they do this because they're trying to get people to not push themselves. Right, I've trained for six months with this marathon. I'm on mile eighteen. I feel like I'm going to be sick, but I can't stop. They were trying to get folks an incentive. Hey, it's okay, get your metal at a eighteen and just get off the course, and a lot of people took them up on that. The debate was whether or not some people say, oh wait a minute, twenty six point two, I've run all these marathons in my life and got a metal they thought it was. They took issue with that.
00:15:12
Speaker 1: Yeah, look, I understand in terms of people because people have what do they call it, finish line syndrome or what's it called, like summit syndrome where you you think, okay, I'm almost there. You work so hard, and yes, you push your body beyond what it should or what you should, and yes, people die. People die crossing finish lines or trying to cross finish lines, and that's concerning.
00:15:33
Speaker 3: I know that. I think Berlin was seventy was it seventy seven? When I crossed the finish line.
00:15:39
Speaker 1: It was one of the hardest marathons I've ever competed or completed, but this was almost ten degrees warmer.
00:15:45
Speaker 2: And it's smart on them to do this, no matter what you say. Look, it's about maybe not even finishing, but the metal does commemorate that you went through the experience, that you trained for the experience, So don't necessarily have an issue with that. But it's a safety issue. We do understand. You want to mention that on a mayorck and Nathan Maren won. It was the closest finish in race history. If you get a chance, go look it up and watch the absolute end. He closed on this guy in the last mile and sprinted in mile twenty six. The other guy collapsed at the finish line and he got across it. It's just stuff you don't see you in marathons that often, so check you it out before we let you go. Something we would like for you to consider it is our quote of the day Robes. This was a little heavy, okay, and it came from a good place, and it's well how all of us thinking about our loved ones, in particular maybe our parents, but the quote is all of the best parts of me came from you. I would give anything for one more day together. That coming to us from the daughter, the daughter robes of the actress who just passed away from of course the movie we're looking at. I replayed it so there she is again on screen. Jennifer Runyan's daughter Bailey Corman put that out, that statement, and this is it was one of the cool things. We blame our parents for a.
00:17:01
Speaker 3: Lot all east our therapists tell us the stuff.
00:17:04
Speaker 2: That maybe is our responsibility we blame them for. Let's go unpack that, but we have to remember the best parts of all of us. Everything you think is good about you you can trace back to your parents and something you got from that house and growing up, or even a physical feature. Positively, all the best parson be came from you. I would give anything for one more day together. That line we always say and think that when somebody passes man, I'm meant to reach out or I'm meant to respond. Just it was a reminder of us. It was sweet as heartbreaking, but it was a reminder we could all use today.
00:17:35
Speaker 1: Yeah, hug your parents or call them, tell them you love them. That like you don't know you don't know sixty five, you would never think that that would be the end. So yeah, I mean, that's a beautiful reminder for all of us who still do have our parents in our lives to show them a little love and a little gratitude and.
00:17:51
Speaker 2: All of our parents over the age of sixty five, well beyond in some cases. But take that with you today, folks from Bailey Korman who just lost her moms saying all the best parts of me came from you. How we give anything for one more day together. And with that, folks, we hope you are off to a good start on your Monday. We appreciate you always running with us. I'm TJ.
00:18:11
Speaker 3: Holme and I'm Amy Roboch. We will talk to you soon.
