Speaker 1: Morning Run with Amy and TJ.
00:00:02
Speaker 2: An iHeartRadio podcast.
00:00:05
Speaker 3: Good morning everyone, it is Tuesday, April twenty.
00:00:09
Speaker 2: First, I'm Amy Robox.
00:00:10
Speaker 1: And I'm TJ. Holmes, And we don't know if these negotiations are happening or not. You can you make sense of this if somebody just on the street asked you, does Ron and the US have a negotiations a second round? Is that happening?
00:00:22
Speaker 2: That's unclear.
00:00:23
Speaker 3: It seems as though we are sending folks to the table.
00:00:27
Speaker 2: But yes, we don't know if iron is okay.
00:00:30
Speaker 1: We'll get into that, really, folks, this is where we are with a cease fire about to expire at any moment. Quite frankly, we're keeping an eye on what's happening there. Also, we had a bunch of stops to make on this morning's run. We'll be making stops at the Pyramids of Mexico, a stop at a Los Angeles courtroom, a Florida death chamber, and also at a Trump cabinet meeting which has one extra empty seat. We should say, also we make it stops in Nashville, Boston, and Alabama. But first, I like we said, we need to make a stop in Islamabad, Pakistan.
00:01:03
Speaker 3: Maybe we need to stop right because we begin our run with another round of peace talks that are supposedly taking place in Pakistan.
00:01:12
Speaker 2: But yes, it's unclear.
00:01:13
Speaker 3: When or if anyone will actually be sitting across the table from US negotiators.
00:01:19
Speaker 1: Okay, so as we speak, as being reported that jd Vance is on the way, hasn't left DC, but planning to leave soon, So our negotiators are not there. But the President said he would be sending his team there to participate in another round. But again Robes Iran is not confirming this and that they seem to be given they are the master of mixed signals.
00:01:46
Speaker 2: Yeah, we don't know what's happening.
00:01:47
Speaker 3: So Irana suggested that they have no plans to attend the talks and quote won't negotiate under the.
00:01:54
Speaker 2: Shadow of threats.
00:01:55
Speaker 3: But then there was also a suggestion that they'd show up, but only if the Vice President came. So it seems like jd Vance is on his way or will be on his way. So if that's the case, maybe they will show up.
00:02:09
Speaker 2: But who knows.
00:02:10
Speaker 1: They have not confirmed all we've heard so far from the President as of this recording. He did send out a message via truth Social this morning and it simply said this aaran has violated the cease fire numerous times and that's all. It didn't even sign off with thank you for attention to this matter. That was the only line.
00:02:27
Speaker 3: Hy ya yaie.
00:02:28
Speaker 1: So don't know what any of that means, but we are all standing by continuing on the run here on this Tuesday morning. Singer David made his first court appearance yesterday and pled not guilty to murder.
00:02:39
Speaker 3: The DA announced charges yesterday against David Anthony Burke, known professionally as Singer David. He's charged with first degree murder in the death of fourteen year old Celeste Revus Hernandez, who was decomposing and who's decomposing and dismembered body was found in the trunk of his abandoned Tesla last September.
00:02:59
Speaker 1: Yeah, he did make that court appearance just a short time after the DA made announcement of the charges, and we got a number of additional details yesterday. Again, Rome, we are folks who have been following this close very closely since last September, so very few details have come out, but officially they let us know and this was a big one that they believe she died last April. Again, her body was found in September, but they said the last time she was seen or known to be alive was in April of twenty twenty five when he invited her to his home and killed her. He's also being charged with lute and lascivious acts with a person under fourteen, also saying killed her for a financial gain. He wondered, well, what is the financial gain? How is he going to gain money while he was essentially trying to hold on, they say, to a career that was on its way up.
00:03:45
Speaker 3: Yes, because he was, they say, believed to be charged with loot and lasibus acts with a person under fourteen, So he murdered her to basically cover up evidence of that crime. That is what police say. He did appear in court yesterday behind a glass artician. His attorney entered a not guilty plea on his behalf, but he remains in jail without bail at this point.
00:04:07
Speaker 2: All right, Next up on the run. Florida is going to.
00:04:10
Speaker 3: Keep up its nation leading pace of death row executions Tonight. The state is scheduled to execute Chadwick Willisey at six pm Eastern time by lethal injection.
00:04:21
Speaker 1: This will be the state's fifth execution of the year. It'll be the eighth execution of the year in the country. Willisey was convicted of a horrific nineteen ninety murder of his neighbor who had walked in on him while he was robbing her place. Beat her, tied her up, strangled her, took her money, went to the ATM and got her pin number. Rather, went to the ATM, got money out, then came back to the house where she was still alive, and then set this woman on fire. This is not a case where people are arguing about guilt or innocence. But again, his attorneys are arguing about the process, and they are trying to stop his execution tonight. His only option right now it a Peers robes would be the US Supreme Court.
00:05:03
Speaker 3: Yeah, we have a full podcast on the crime and what's expected tonight. If you want to check that out, it's the episode before two before I Guess Morning Run. We did it earlier this morning, so next up.
00:05:14
Speaker 2: On the Run.
00:05:15
Speaker 3: A gunman opened fire on tourists yesterday and one of Mexico's most popular attractions.
00:05:20
Speaker 1: Yeah, one person was killed and several others injured at the Tea Towacan Pyramids. Now, this is a sprawling Folks have been there, but yes, they have ancient pyramids in Mexico as well, but it's just outside of Mexico City. But it is a sprawling, a huge archaeological site, and it's the sight of some of the earliest civilization robes. And a guy went to up high on one of these pyramids and this start shooting it folks.
00:05:46
Speaker 3: Yeah, he stood at the top of them, open fire. At least thirteen other people were injured. Seven of them had gunshot wounds. But the woman who was killed was a Canadian tourist. And then the gunman turned the gun on himself and killed himself at that point. But what a horrific scene as something that was just a beautiful tourist attraction.
00:06:05
Speaker 1: They're thinking about this for this supposed to be World Cup, I think somewhere Mexico City is supposed to be a site. And they're already talking about some recent violence we've seen in some places there. Continuing on the run here now another member of Trump's cabinet, so on the way out. And again it's not exactly a smooth or even uneventful exit.
00:06:23
Speaker 3: Yes, Labor Secretary Lori Chavez Derrimer is stepping down in the midst of an investigation into her possible abuse of power. And those abuses run the gamut drinking on the job, inappropriate behavior by family members, fraud, misuse of funds, and a possible inappropriate relationship with a subordinate. My goodness, she checked every box of reasons why you should and can lose your job.
00:06:50
Speaker 1: Even one of those qualified.
00:06:52
Speaker 2: Right, all of them together is impressive in all the wrong ways.
00:06:56
Speaker 1: Yeah, and notably here we've seen the president robes. Even when when Christinome got booted out, when Pam Bondi got booted out, he had something positive. At least there was a spin. He had something to say about them. He ain't said nothing about this woman. This announcement was made by the White House and said they did say she was taking a private sector job.
00:07:17
Speaker 2: Good luck. All right? Three, and people are still waiting for cash battel.
00:07:22
Speaker 1: Wait with three women?
00:07:24
Speaker 2: Three women? You're right, and then two women have been replaced by men. Correct.
00:07:28
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think, ye, yes.
00:07:31
Speaker 2: We shall see what happens with this one.
00:07:33
Speaker 3: All right, Next up on the run, I just mentioned cash Battel FBI director Cash Battel following through on his threat to sue a news outlet that published a story that essentially called him a drunk and a lush and yes, made all sorts of accusations fireable accusations against the FBI director.
00:07:51
Speaker 1: Yeah, and he said he was going to do this, and he followed through two hundred and fifty million dollar lawsuit against The Atlantic that posted their story on Friday, was titled the FBI Director is Miia cash Battel has alarmed colleagues with episodes of excessive drinking and unexplained absences. It's a long article, but that kind of sums it up.
00:08:11
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:08:11
Speaker 3: The article details instances of alarming drinking and known intoxication by Patel, and even suggested that some of his public missteps were connected to his drinking. They've even suggested that the FBI had to purchase equipment to break down his door because he was unavailable because he was so hung over from a night of drinking. So, yes, these were very serious accusations. And despite the lawsuit, Atlantic stands by its reporting.
00:08:38
Speaker 1: I continue on the run here. Now we got another one Robes, another close call in the air and once again, Robes, we're talking about another incident the FAA is looking into that is not related to anything that happens when you're up there and flying at twenty thirty thousand feet. This was another close call that had to do with planes dealing with air traffic control. This one was in Nashville.
00:09:04
Speaker 3: This is scary stuff and this happened at Nashville International Airport over the weekend.
00:09:09
Speaker 2: One plane was being.
00:09:10
Speaker 3: Directed by the tower to turn directly into the path of another plane.
00:09:15
Speaker 1: This was not pilot error here, Robe. So what happened was an approaching flight had to abort its landing because of heavy winds. This happens, fine, We've heard it plenty. Most of us have experienced it. The way they have to do a go around, they'll give you a heads up. Sometimes I have to make a look. We're being held whatever. They're doing their go around because of winds. So the pilots were told to make a right turn as a part of this go around. They followed instructions Robes. In doing so, it put them directly in the path of another flight on a runway that was parallel that was trying to take off.
00:09:50
Speaker 3: Wow, So both of the planes on board collision alert systems alerted the pilots to take evasive actions, Thank goodness, and the FAA did acknowledge the incident in a s statement Southwest praising the professionalism of the pilot, saying, and so, yeah, you mentioned it's not pilot error. In fact, it was the pilots who prevented tragedy. And both planes went about their business, but they got as close as five hundred feet apart.
00:10:14
Speaker 1: Well, I was trying to think of a building in New York that's fifty stories tall. This is what we're talking about. Not quite a skyscraper, but robes. You can look up at a building that tall. You do not want to be in the sky and look up and see a plane that close to you. No, you do not five hundred feet it's close.
00:10:34
Speaker 2: That's very scary.
00:10:35
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, all right, continue on the run here. Now, Apple, for the first time in fifteen years, has a new CEO.
00:10:42
Speaker 3: That's right, Tim Cook, we know his name. Well, took over after the passing of Steve Jobs. Well, he is stepping down effective September first, and he's handing the reins over to John Turnus, who has been with the company more than twenty years and currently serves as the head of hardware Engineering.
00:10:58
Speaker 1: I think Turnus likes the black shirts too.
00:11:01
Speaker 2: Yes, he has turtle shirts, just.
00:11:03
Speaker 1: Shirts, two shirts, but I've seen him in some of his presentations he's wearing just the plame black. He's continuing that tradition.
00:11:08
Speaker 3: You know what.
00:11:09
Speaker 2: It's consistent and it makes us all feel comfortable.
00:11:11
Speaker 3: Right, It's like we want our Apple leaders to look a certain way, and he fits the bell.
00:11:16
Speaker 1: It does. But Cook is going to stay on though as executive chairman of the board. This we talk about so much of the AI revolution that's going on now. Robes and what was Navidia? It was, yes, Navida right, Okay, it hit four trillion evaluation and that was the largest ever. But under Tim Cook's leadership, Apple was the first company to hit a trillion valuation, a two trillion valuation, and a three trillion valuation. They've done well under this guy.
00:11:43
Speaker 2: Yes, big shoes to fill for Turnis, but we'll see what he can do.
00:11:46
Speaker 1: Okay, luck to him. All right, stay with us here on this Tuesday morning run. When we come back, Madonna is missing some clothes and she is willing to pay to get them back. Also, big day at the Boston Marathon. Something happened on the men's side and the women's side that made it kind of a boring race. Will explain. Also an engagement. I have to ask this question, what ladies, do you want your guy wearing when he gets down on a knee to propose? Probably not a scary mask stare.
00:12:27
Speaker 3: Welcome back everyone to your Tuesday morning running. Next up on the Run, Madonna's clothes are missing, and she really, really really wants them back.
00:12:35
Speaker 2: She's even offering a reward for them.
00:12:38
Speaker 1: Yeah, we don't know how much. Exactly rose, but Madonna made a surprise appearance at Coachello over the weekend. This was talked about quite a bit with SA Carpenter. Sabrina Carpenter, big deal, see them on stage together. But now some of her clothes from that performance and other clothes are missing. But rods, They're not just any clothes. And I looked into this a little more. I was like, Okay, hell yeah, she didn't just lose a blazer. This is some important stuff.
00:13:03
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a big deal. On Instagram, here's what she posted. I discovered that the vintage pieces that I wore went missing. My costume that was pulled from my personal archives, jacket, corset, dress, and all other garments.
00:13:15
Speaker 2: These aren't just closed, they are part of my history.
00:13:18
Speaker 3: Other archival items from the same era went missing as well. I'm hoping and praying that some kind soul will find these items and reach out to my team. She gives her Gmail account basically or a Gmail email address info Maverick twenty twenty six Sixgmail dot com. I'm offering a reward for their safe return. Thank you with all my heart. Oh I feel Yeah, it was very sweet, like a really kind of a sad sweet request, like please please give me my stuff back.
00:13:46
Speaker 1: I think she's going to get it back. I they don't have any evidence that it was taken, it was stolen, It wasn't like the Beyonce situation where they busted into it been accidental, could have been misplaced, and somebody just might even realize what they have at this point. But when they do, of course Madonna. They know who's gonna who would keep Madonna's stuff?
00:14:04
Speaker 3: Well, somebody who's a super fan, That's what I'm thinking, like a crazed fan who either wants it for themselves or wants to sell it on eBay.
00:14:11
Speaker 2: But then it would be obvious and would be found out.
00:14:13
Speaker 1: Wouldn't you for ever be in the crasis of your hero Madonna if you give her the stuff.
00:14:17
Speaker 3: Back year people are deranged though, I don't know. I mean, look, I hope that case, but it could be a crazy fan.
00:14:22
Speaker 1: You make a good point. I continue on the run here now, and what a run there was in Boston. The reason it was a big deal Boston Marathon. The man who won and the woman who won both won last year as well, so you had back to back champs on both sides. John Career is from Kenya. He had the fastest time ever row to the Boston Marathon.
00:14:41
Speaker 3: Apparently there was a strong tailwind that pushed everybody. But it counts, It does count. Yes, Look, this is a notorious hilly race. This isn't a race where people get prs ever almost never because it is such a difficult course, so very impressive, and just to do it back to back is also just solidifying your great brilliant.
00:15:01
Speaker 1: I think they said he won Robes this was the fifth fastest time in the history of marathons.
00:15:09
Speaker 3: Yeah, which is highly unusual to have that happen in Boston.
00:15:11
Speaker 1: In the history of marathons, so very impressive there, and then Sharon Loketi on the women's side one again. He gets one hundred and fifty for the win, one hundred and fifty thousand. I think the same for the women, but because he also set a record, he gets an extra fifty thousands.
00:15:24
Speaker 2: Love that he picked up.
00:15:25
Speaker 3: And by the way, he finished it in a time that I take to finish a half marathon.
00:15:30
Speaker 2: It's like two hours in one minute or something like that.
00:15:33
Speaker 1: Fifty two seconds.
00:15:34
Speaker 2: Yes, my goodness.
00:15:36
Speaker 3: I mean, look, I like to do a sub too half marathon, but I've had some plus two half marathons. They've been comfortable. Can you imagine running double.
00:15:44
Speaker 2: The distance in the same amount of time. I cannot.
00:15:47
Speaker 1: We should and for you runners out there, a lot of and you'll be interested as well. He was wearing an acik Acis shoes that's a prototype, so we can't get it. She was wearing those damn un Armor new kid.
00:16:01
Speaker 2: We've been seeing them everywhere.
00:16:02
Speaker 1: The guy was trying to sell us on them in the store a few weeks ago.
00:16:05
Speaker 2: Because we're Nike folks right now, but.
00:16:07
Speaker 1: Robes, this shoe is coming under. Armour has now eated a competitive shoe.
00:16:14
Speaker 3: We walked into the store the other day and you never saw their shoes in the front.
00:16:19
Speaker 2: Now they are. This is their new thing, so that is interesting.
00:16:22
Speaker 1: It was annoying he wouldn't let us out of the attention.
00:16:26
Speaker 2: Wow.
00:16:26
Speaker 3: All right, finally on today's run, this one caught both of our attention.
00:16:31
Speaker 2: Congratulations.
00:16:32
Speaker 3: We should start off with David Howard Thornton's star of the Terrifier horror franchise is engaged.
00:16:39
Speaker 2: Yes, he is the guy who plays art the clown.
00:16:42
Speaker 3: And if you don't know what we're talking about, just go on to your streaming service and put Terrifier on the the image that will come up.
00:16:51
Speaker 2: It is the most terrifying clown mask you can imagine.
00:16:54
Speaker 1: He's he looks like he could have trained Pennywise, Like he is serious.
00:17:00
Speaker 3: Barier than Pennywise. And that's that's a big thing for me to say.
00:17:03
Speaker 1: And he is gross and gruesome and how he kills I mean, it is, it's terrible.
00:17:07
Speaker 2: It's terrifying.
00:17:08
Speaker 1: But he keeps a menacing look or smile on his face the whole time. Anyway, that being the point, he is engaged. But the reason we'll telling you he's engaged is because he proposed to his girlfriend in public in full clown costume.
00:17:26
Speaker 3: Yeah, they were on the red carpet. He got down on one knee and in the mask.
00:17:30
Speaker 2: I don't know. He also has those terrifying teeth. And I noticed when he proposed to her. They posted the video. She kissed him on the mouth with those teeth. That's love, true love, like red.
00:17:42
Speaker 1: It's like bloody in this.
00:17:43
Speaker 2: I don't know.
00:17:44
Speaker 3: I didn't notice that. I didn't look that closely, but I saw ew. She kissed him with those teeth and that scary face.
00:17:51
Speaker 2: They've been dating for nine months. This is good luck to them.
00:17:54
Speaker 1: You know what. There was a great I meant to put it in sorsor sorry, I'm meant to put it in. But she gave a long post about the engagement.
00:18:01
Speaker 3: Bro.
00:18:01
Speaker 1: She says some very sweet things about golfing like her. She had lost her dad I think it was, and she was in a relationship she knew she shouldn't have been in. She meets this guy and it prompted her to realize life is entirely too short for me to keep wasting my time in a bad relationship. And she's credits this guy with saving her, getting her out of it. Of all things, Art the damn clown came to the rescue.
00:18:26
Speaker 3: I'm so glad you mentioned that because that resonated so much with me. A lot of times, unfortunately, tragedies are like what put the perspective you needed in your head to make decisions that maybe you wouldn't have made if you didn't realize how short time was. So I appreciate what she said. She said he treats her like a queen, treats her like her princess, and she was in a very toxic relationship, And I just I thought that was really cool that the scariest guy on on TV right now, perhaps when you pull up your streaming services apparently is one of the nicest guys around.
00:18:56
Speaker 1: He is sweetheart.
00:18:56
Speaker 2: He's a good actor then apparently as well.
00:18:58
Speaker 1: And you know what, congrats to them on that franchise. It was like a little cult hit for the first two. Last one did seventy eighty plus million dollars worldwide. It's now become this huge hit. Good for him and good for that.
00:19:10
Speaker 2: Love that all right quote of the day here.
00:19:13
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, you know, I didn't even think about it playing into that a little bit, but it does. Here is your quote of the day, everybody on this Tuesday. Fear doesn't stop death, it stops life. I always think that we start making decisions based on fear. We're trying to protect ourselves, whether it's from death, or from heartbreak or from failure. But it doesn't prevent any of that. It just stops you from living. I love just being reminded of that. Every time we have fear creeping up. I just want to tell myself this, fear doesn't stop death, it stops life.
00:19:47
Speaker 1: Fear doesn't stop anything. It stops opportunity. Maybe it stopped you from moving forward. It stops a lot of stuff, but not usually positive. No, that's a good way, always trying to master fear. A few of us, ever.
00:19:59
Speaker 3: Do just say go away. I'm going to go anyway. I'm gonna do it anyway, all right without everyone, Thank you so much for running with us. I'm Amy Robot.
00:20:08
Speaker 1: And I'm t J. Holmes. Run soon.
Speaker 1: Morning Run with Amy and TJ.
00:00:02
Speaker 2: An iHeartRadio podcast.
00:00:05
Speaker 3: Good morning everyone, it is Tuesday, April twenty.
00:00:09
Speaker 2: First, I'm Amy Robox.
00:00:10
Speaker 1: And I'm TJ. Holmes, And we don't know if these negotiations are happening or not. You can you make sense of this if somebody just on the street asked you, does Ron and the US have a negotiations a second round? Is that happening?
00:00:22
Speaker 2: That's unclear.
00:00:23
Speaker 3: It seems as though we are sending folks to the table.
00:00:27
Speaker 2: But yes, we don't know if iron is okay.
00:00:30
Speaker 1: We'll get into that, really, folks, this is where we are with a cease fire about to expire at any moment. Quite frankly, we're keeping an eye on what's happening there. Also, we had a bunch of stops to make on this morning's run. We'll be making stops at the Pyramids of Mexico, a stop at a Los Angeles courtroom, a Florida death chamber, and also at a Trump cabinet meeting which has one extra empty seat. We should say, also we make it stops in Nashville, Boston, and Alabama. But first, I like we said, we need to make a stop in Islamabad, Pakistan.
00:01:03
Speaker 3: Maybe we need to stop right because we begin our run with another round of peace talks that are supposedly taking place in Pakistan.
00:01:12
Speaker 2: But yes, it's unclear.
00:01:13
Speaker 3: When or if anyone will actually be sitting across the table from US negotiators.
00:01:19
Speaker 1: Okay, so as we speak, as being reported that jd Vance is on the way, hasn't left DC, but planning to leave soon, So our negotiators are not there. But the President said he would be sending his team there to participate in another round. But again Robes Iran is not confirming this and that they seem to be given they are the master of mixed signals.
00:01:46
Speaker 2: Yeah, we don't know what's happening.
00:01:47
Speaker 3: So Irana suggested that they have no plans to attend the talks and quote won't negotiate under the.
00:01:54
Speaker 2: Shadow of threats.
00:01:55
Speaker 3: But then there was also a suggestion that they'd show up, but only if the Vice President came. So it seems like jd Vance is on his way or will be on his way. So if that's the case, maybe they will show up.
00:02:09
Speaker 2: But who knows.
00:02:10
Speaker 1: They have not confirmed all we've heard so far from the President as of this recording. He did send out a message via truth Social this morning and it simply said this aaran has violated the cease fire numerous times and that's all. It didn't even sign off with thank you for attention to this matter. That was the only line.
00:02:27
Speaker 3: Hy ya yaie.
00:02:28
Speaker 1: So don't know what any of that means, but we are all standing by continuing on the run here on this Tuesday morning. Singer David made his first court appearance yesterday and pled not guilty to murder.
00:02:39
Speaker 3: The DA announced charges yesterday against David Anthony Burke, known professionally as Singer David. He's charged with first degree murder in the death of fourteen year old Celeste Revus Hernandez, who was decomposing and who's decomposing and dismembered body was found in the trunk of his abandoned Tesla last September.
00:02:59
Speaker 1: Yeah, he did make that court appearance just a short time after the DA made announcement of the charges, and we got a number of additional details yesterday. Again, Rome, we are folks who have been following this close very closely since last September, so very few details have come out, but officially they let us know and this was a big one that they believe she died last April. Again, her body was found in September, but they said the last time she was seen or known to be alive was in April of twenty twenty five when he invited her to his home and killed her. He's also being charged with lute and lascivious acts with a person under fourteen, also saying killed her for a financial gain. He wondered, well, what is the financial gain? How is he going to gain money while he was essentially trying to hold on, they say, to a career that was on its way up.
00:03:45
Speaker 3: Yes, because he was, they say, believed to be charged with loot and lasibus acts with a person under fourteen, So he murdered her to basically cover up evidence of that crime. That is what police say. He did appear in court yesterday behind a glass artician. His attorney entered a not guilty plea on his behalf, but he remains in jail without bail at this point.
00:04:07
Speaker 2: All right, Next up on the run. Florida is going to.
00:04:10
Speaker 3: Keep up its nation leading pace of death row executions Tonight. The state is scheduled to execute Chadwick Willisey at six pm Eastern time by lethal injection.
00:04:21
Speaker 1: This will be the state's fifth execution of the year. It'll be the eighth execution of the year in the country. Willisey was convicted of a horrific nineteen ninety murder of his neighbor who had walked in on him while he was robbing her place. Beat her, tied her up, strangled her, took her money, went to the ATM and got her pin number. Rather, went to the ATM, got money out, then came back to the house where she was still alive, and then set this woman on fire. This is not a case where people are arguing about guilt or innocence. But again, his attorneys are arguing about the process, and they are trying to stop his execution tonight. His only option right now it a Peers robes would be the US Supreme Court.
00:05:03
Speaker 3: Yeah, we have a full podcast on the crime and what's expected tonight. If you want to check that out, it's the episode before two before I Guess Morning Run. We did it earlier this morning, so next up.
00:05:14
Speaker 2: On the Run.
00:05:15
Speaker 3: A gunman opened fire on tourists yesterday and one of Mexico's most popular attractions.
00:05:20
Speaker 1: Yeah, one person was killed and several others injured at the Tea Towacan Pyramids. Now, this is a sprawling Folks have been there, but yes, they have ancient pyramids in Mexico as well, but it's just outside of Mexico City. But it is a sprawling, a huge archaeological site, and it's the sight of some of the earliest civilization robes. And a guy went to up high on one of these pyramids and this start shooting it folks.
00:05:46
Speaker 3: Yeah, he stood at the top of them, open fire. At least thirteen other people were injured. Seven of them had gunshot wounds. But the woman who was killed was a Canadian tourist. And then the gunman turned the gun on himself and killed himself at that point. But what a horrific scene as something that was just a beautiful tourist attraction.
00:06:05
Speaker 1: They're thinking about this for this supposed to be World Cup, I think somewhere Mexico City is supposed to be a site. And they're already talking about some recent violence we've seen in some places there. Continuing on the run here now another member of Trump's cabinet, so on the way out. And again it's not exactly a smooth or even uneventful exit.
00:06:23
Speaker 3: Yes, Labor Secretary Lori Chavez Derrimer is stepping down in the midst of an investigation into her possible abuse of power. And those abuses run the gamut drinking on the job, inappropriate behavior by family members, fraud, misuse of funds, and a possible inappropriate relationship with a subordinate. My goodness, she checked every box of reasons why you should and can lose your job.
00:06:50
Speaker 1: Even one of those qualified.
00:06:52
Speaker 2: Right, all of them together is impressive in all the wrong ways.
00:06:56
Speaker 1: Yeah, and notably here we've seen the president robes. Even when when Christinome got booted out, when Pam Bondi got booted out, he had something positive. At least there was a spin. He had something to say about them. He ain't said nothing about this woman. This announcement was made by the White House and said they did say she was taking a private sector job.
00:07:17
Speaker 2: Good luck. All right? Three, and people are still waiting for cash battel.
00:07:22
Speaker 1: Wait with three women?
00:07:24
Speaker 2: Three women? You're right, and then two women have been replaced by men. Correct.
00:07:28
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think, ye, yes.
00:07:31
Speaker 2: We shall see what happens with this one.
00:07:33
Speaker 3: All right, Next up on the run, I just mentioned cash Battel FBI director Cash Battel following through on his threat to sue a news outlet that published a story that essentially called him a drunk and a lush and yes, made all sorts of accusations fireable accusations against the FBI director.
00:07:51
Speaker 1: Yeah, and he said he was going to do this, and he followed through two hundred and fifty million dollar lawsuit against The Atlantic that posted their story on Friday, was titled the FBI Director is Miia cash Battel has alarmed colleagues with episodes of excessive drinking and unexplained absences. It's a long article, but that kind of sums it up.
00:08:11
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:08:11
Speaker 3: The article details instances of alarming drinking and known intoxication by Patel, and even suggested that some of his public missteps were connected to his drinking. They've even suggested that the FBI had to purchase equipment to break down his door because he was unavailable because he was so hung over from a night of drinking. So, yes, these were very serious accusations. And despite the lawsuit, Atlantic stands by its reporting.
00:08:38
Speaker 1: I continue on the run here. Now we got another one Robes, another close call in the air and once again, Robes, we're talking about another incident the FAA is looking into that is not related to anything that happens when you're up there and flying at twenty thirty thousand feet. This was another close call that had to do with planes dealing with air traffic control. This one was in Nashville.
00:09:04
Speaker 3: This is scary stuff and this happened at Nashville International Airport over the weekend.
00:09:09
Speaker 2: One plane was being.
00:09:10
Speaker 3: Directed by the tower to turn directly into the path of another plane.
00:09:15
Speaker 1: This was not pilot error here, Robe. So what happened was an approaching flight had to abort its landing because of heavy winds. This happens, fine, We've heard it plenty. Most of us have experienced it. The way they have to do a go around, they'll give you a heads up. Sometimes I have to make a look. We're being held whatever. They're doing their go around because of winds. So the pilots were told to make a right turn as a part of this go around. They followed instructions Robes. In doing so, it put them directly in the path of another flight on a runway that was parallel that was trying to take off.
00:09:50
Speaker 3: Wow, So both of the planes on board collision alert systems alerted the pilots to take evasive actions, Thank goodness, and the FAA did acknowledge the incident in a s statement Southwest praising the professionalism of the pilot, saying, and so, yeah, you mentioned it's not pilot error. In fact, it was the pilots who prevented tragedy. And both planes went about their business, but they got as close as five hundred feet apart.
00:10:14
Speaker 1: Well, I was trying to think of a building in New York that's fifty stories tall. This is what we're talking about. Not quite a skyscraper, but robes. You can look up at a building that tall. You do not want to be in the sky and look up and see a plane that close to you. No, you do not five hundred feet it's close.
00:10:34
Speaker 2: That's very scary.
00:10:35
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, all right, continue on the run here. Now, Apple, for the first time in fifteen years, has a new CEO.
00:10:42
Speaker 3: That's right, Tim Cook, we know his name. Well, took over after the passing of Steve Jobs. Well, he is stepping down effective September first, and he's handing the reins over to John Turnus, who has been with the company more than twenty years and currently serves as the head of hardware Engineering.
00:10:58
Speaker 1: I think Turnus likes the black shirts too.
00:11:01
Speaker 2: Yes, he has turtle shirts, just.
00:11:03
Speaker 1: Shirts, two shirts, but I've seen him in some of his presentations he's wearing just the plame black. He's continuing that tradition.
00:11:08
Speaker 3: You know what.
00:11:09
Speaker 2: It's consistent and it makes us all feel comfortable.
00:11:11
Speaker 3: Right, It's like we want our Apple leaders to look a certain way, and he fits the bell.
00:11:16
Speaker 1: It does. But Cook is going to stay on though as executive chairman of the board. This we talk about so much of the AI revolution that's going on now. Robes and what was Navidia? It was, yes, Navida right, Okay, it hit four trillion evaluation and that was the largest ever. But under Tim Cook's leadership, Apple was the first company to hit a trillion valuation, a two trillion valuation, and a three trillion valuation. They've done well under this guy.
00:11:43
Speaker 2: Yes, big shoes to fill for Turnis, but we'll see what he can do.
00:11:46
Speaker 1: Okay, luck to him. All right, stay with us here on this Tuesday morning run. When we come back, Madonna is missing some clothes and she is willing to pay to get them back. Also, big day at the Boston Marathon. Something happened on the men's side and the women's side that made it kind of a boring race. Will explain. Also an engagement. I have to ask this question, what ladies, do you want your guy wearing when he gets down on a knee to propose? Probably not a scary mask stare.
00:12:27
Speaker 3: Welcome back everyone to your Tuesday morning running. Next up on the Run, Madonna's clothes are missing, and she really, really really wants them back.
00:12:35
Speaker 2: She's even offering a reward for them.
00:12:38
Speaker 1: Yeah, we don't know how much. Exactly rose, but Madonna made a surprise appearance at Coachello over the weekend. This was talked about quite a bit with SA Carpenter. Sabrina Carpenter, big deal, see them on stage together. But now some of her clothes from that performance and other clothes are missing. But rods, They're not just any clothes. And I looked into this a little more. I was like, Okay, hell yeah, she didn't just lose a blazer. This is some important stuff.
00:13:03
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a big deal. On Instagram, here's what she posted. I discovered that the vintage pieces that I wore went missing. My costume that was pulled from my personal archives, jacket, corset, dress, and all other garments.
00:13:15
Speaker 2: These aren't just closed, they are part of my history.
00:13:18
Speaker 3: Other archival items from the same era went missing as well. I'm hoping and praying that some kind soul will find these items and reach out to my team. She gives her Gmail account basically or a Gmail email address info Maverick twenty twenty six Sixgmail dot com. I'm offering a reward for their safe return. Thank you with all my heart. Oh I feel Yeah, it was very sweet, like a really kind of a sad sweet request, like please please give me my stuff back.
00:13:46
Speaker 1: I think she's going to get it back. I they don't have any evidence that it was taken, it was stolen, It wasn't like the Beyonce situation where they busted into it been accidental, could have been misplaced, and somebody just might even realize what they have at this point. But when they do, of course Madonna. They know who's gonna who would keep Madonna's stuff?
00:14:04
Speaker 3: Well, somebody who's a super fan, That's what I'm thinking, like a crazed fan who either wants it for themselves or wants to sell it on eBay.
00:14:11
Speaker 2: But then it would be obvious and would be found out.
00:14:13
Speaker 1: Wouldn't you for ever be in the crasis of your hero Madonna if you give her the stuff.
00:14:17
Speaker 3: Back year people are deranged though, I don't know. I mean, look, I hope that case, but it could be a crazy fan.
00:14:22
Speaker 1: You make a good point. I continue on the run here now, and what a run there was in Boston. The reason it was a big deal Boston Marathon. The man who won and the woman who won both won last year as well, so you had back to back champs on both sides. John Career is from Kenya. He had the fastest time ever row to the Boston Marathon.
00:14:41
Speaker 3: Apparently there was a strong tailwind that pushed everybody. But it counts, It does count. Yes, Look, this is a notorious hilly race. This isn't a race where people get prs ever almost never because it is such a difficult course, so very impressive, and just to do it back to back is also just solidifying your great brilliant.
00:15:01
Speaker 1: I think they said he won Robes this was the fifth fastest time in the history of marathons.
00:15:09
Speaker 3: Yeah, which is highly unusual to have that happen in Boston.
00:15:11
Speaker 1: In the history of marathons, so very impressive there, and then Sharon Loketi on the women's side one again. He gets one hundred and fifty for the win, one hundred and fifty thousand. I think the same for the women, but because he also set a record, he gets an extra fifty thousands.
00:15:24
Speaker 2: Love that he picked up.
00:15:25
Speaker 3: And by the way, he finished it in a time that I take to finish a half marathon.
00:15:30
Speaker 2: It's like two hours in one minute or something like that.
00:15:33
Speaker 1: Fifty two seconds.
00:15:34
Speaker 2: Yes, my goodness.
00:15:36
Speaker 3: I mean, look, I like to do a sub too half marathon, but I've had some plus two half marathons. They've been comfortable. Can you imagine running double.
00:15:44
Speaker 2: The distance in the same amount of time. I cannot.
00:15:47
Speaker 1: We should and for you runners out there, a lot of and you'll be interested as well. He was wearing an acik Acis shoes that's a prototype, so we can't get it. She was wearing those damn un Armor new kid.
00:16:01
Speaker 2: We've been seeing them everywhere.
00:16:02
Speaker 1: The guy was trying to sell us on them in the store a few weeks ago.
00:16:05
Speaker 2: Because we're Nike folks right now, but.
00:16:07
Speaker 1: Robes, this shoe is coming under. Armour has now eated a competitive shoe.
00:16:14
Speaker 3: We walked into the store the other day and you never saw their shoes in the front.
00:16:19
Speaker 2: Now they are. This is their new thing, so that is interesting.
00:16:22
Speaker 1: It was annoying he wouldn't let us out of the attention.
00:16:26
Speaker 2: Wow.
00:16:26
Speaker 3: All right, finally on today's run, this one caught both of our attention.
00:16:31
Speaker 2: Congratulations.
00:16:32
Speaker 3: We should start off with David Howard Thornton's star of the Terrifier horror franchise is engaged.
00:16:39
Speaker 2: Yes, he is the guy who plays art the clown.
00:16:42
Speaker 3: And if you don't know what we're talking about, just go on to your streaming service and put Terrifier on the the image that will come up.
00:16:51
Speaker 2: It is the most terrifying clown mask you can imagine.
00:16:54
Speaker 1: He's he looks like he could have trained Pennywise, Like he is serious.
00:17:00
Speaker 3: Barier than Pennywise. And that's that's a big thing for me to say.
00:17:03
Speaker 1: And he is gross and gruesome and how he kills I mean, it is, it's terrible.
00:17:07
Speaker 2: It's terrifying.
00:17:08
Speaker 1: But he keeps a menacing look or smile on his face the whole time. Anyway, that being the point, he is engaged. But the reason we'll telling you he's engaged is because he proposed to his girlfriend in public in full clown costume.
00:17:26
Speaker 3: Yeah, they were on the red carpet. He got down on one knee and in the mask.
00:17:30
Speaker 2: I don't know. He also has those terrifying teeth. And I noticed when he proposed to her. They posted the video. She kissed him on the mouth with those teeth. That's love, true love, like red.
00:17:42
Speaker 1: It's like bloody in this.
00:17:43
Speaker 2: I don't know.
00:17:44
Speaker 3: I didn't notice that. I didn't look that closely, but I saw ew. She kissed him with those teeth and that scary face.
00:17:51
Speaker 2: They've been dating for nine months. This is good luck to them.
00:17:54
Speaker 1: You know what. There was a great I meant to put it in sorsor sorry, I'm meant to put it in. But she gave a long post about the engagement.
00:18:01
Speaker 3: Bro.
00:18:01
Speaker 1: She says some very sweet things about golfing like her. She had lost her dad I think it was, and she was in a relationship she knew she shouldn't have been in. She meets this guy and it prompted her to realize life is entirely too short for me to keep wasting my time in a bad relationship. And she's credits this guy with saving her, getting her out of it. Of all things, Art the damn clown came to the rescue.
00:18:26
Speaker 3: I'm so glad you mentioned that because that resonated so much with me. A lot of times, unfortunately, tragedies are like what put the perspective you needed in your head to make decisions that maybe you wouldn't have made if you didn't realize how short time was. So I appreciate what she said. She said he treats her like a queen, treats her like her princess, and she was in a very toxic relationship, And I just I thought that was really cool that the scariest guy on on TV right now, perhaps when you pull up your streaming services apparently is one of the nicest guys around.
00:18:56
Speaker 1: He is sweetheart.
00:18:56
Speaker 2: He's a good actor then apparently as well.
00:18:58
Speaker 1: And you know what, congrats to them on that franchise. It was like a little cult hit for the first two. Last one did seventy eighty plus million dollars worldwide. It's now become this huge hit. Good for him and good for that.
00:19:10
Speaker 2: Love that all right quote of the day here.
00:19:13
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, you know, I didn't even think about it playing into that a little bit, but it does. Here is your quote of the day, everybody on this Tuesday. Fear doesn't stop death, it stops life. I always think that we start making decisions based on fear. We're trying to protect ourselves, whether it's from death, or from heartbreak or from failure. But it doesn't prevent any of that. It just stops you from living. I love just being reminded of that. Every time we have fear creeping up. I just want to tell myself this, fear doesn't stop death, it stops life.
00:19:47
Speaker 1: Fear doesn't stop anything. It stops opportunity. Maybe it stopped you from moving forward. It stops a lot of stuff, but not usually positive. No, that's a good way, always trying to master fear. A few of us, ever.
00:19:59
Speaker 3: Do just say go away. I'm going to go anyway. I'm gonna do it anyway, all right without everyone, Thank you so much for running with us. I'm Amy Robot.
00:20:08
Speaker 1: And I'm t J. Holmes. Run soon.
