Speaker 1: Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast.
00:00:05
Speaker 2: Good morning everyone, it is Tuesday, March thirty. First, I'm Amy Robots.
00:00:09
Speaker 1: And I'm TJ Holmes. Good news, bad news. The good news is TSA workers are being paid. Yay. Yeah, bad news. We don't know for how long we'll get into all that, but some relief at the airports that's great. And TSA workers getting their checks. That is something we have been going for six weeks not being able to say that. So here we are. We should start with good news.
00:00:31
Speaker 2: Yes, congratulations for actually getting paid for work you've already completed.
00:00:36
Speaker 3: Good luck in getting paid again.
00:00:39
Speaker 1: Wow.
00:00:40
Speaker 3: Okay, sorry, wow, that was negative.
00:00:43
Speaker 1: On a happy note, Welcome to this morning Run. We are fresh off of an actual one run. We I don't know if you want to know. This is not smell a cast, but we literally just ran and came back inside to record. So this we actually did a run before this morning Run. We usually don't do them that early because it's been.
00:01:00
Speaker 2: Cold, yes, and because you love to keep the apartment oh so toasty.
00:01:04
Speaker 3: I am now profusely sweating.
00:01:06
Speaker 1: Oh it's nasty, all it's fine. You are glistening, not profusely sweating. You are glistening, But good morning do you all. I always appreciate you having coming along with us for a run, but we do need to start, we said. Good news, bad news, Yes, the good news about TSA agent's rope. There is some pretty bad news. A pretty significant benchmark has been crossed when it comes to gas prices, which have been going up.
00:01:28
Speaker 3: That's right.
00:01:29
Speaker 2: They are now at four dollars per gallon four two to be exact. And that is the highest average we have had since twenty twenty two, which coincided with the beginning of the Russia Ukraine War.
00:01:41
Speaker 1: Yes, wars seem to do a number on gas and oil prices. Yes, oil prices were up as well, around that one hundred and thirteen sixteen dollars mark, which is scaring folks. But the highest price of gas, you folks in California are paying the highest. Five dollars and ninety cents is the average. That's really high. But robes to think of a month ago, it was a dollar thirty less. They were paying four to sixty three before the war started on average. Now it's up to five ninety in California.
00:02:07
Speaker 2: That is significant and the lowest rate Iowa, Kansas, and Oklahoma.
00:02:11
Speaker 3: You're at about three twenty eight a gallon.
00:02:13
Speaker 2: But again, everybody's gas prices have gone out by at least a dollar or more a gallon.
00:02:19
Speaker 1: And you know, yes, you're already paying more for gas's putting your own car. But you knew that airlines at some point Ropes is going to come back and they're going to have to start passing on costs to customers. And so it begins. Jet Blue is going to start passing along those increased fuel costs to passengers. I guess this is the quickest, easiest way to do it. Roll with baggage fees.
00:02:38
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're raising checked bag feeds thirty nine dollars for the first bag. That's up four dollars. It was thirty five and fifty nine dollars. For the second bag, that's up nine dollars. It was fifty bucks.
00:02:51
Speaker 3: So yeah, there's a little caveat to those numbers.
00:02:54
Speaker 1: However, you didn't like this. I didn't like this either. Work No, it didn't sound bad. Four dollars or whatever for the first bag. But you have to and listen to this, folks. If you're flying Jet Blue, you have to check that bag twenty four hours before your flight, Meaning you need to get online and go through wherever you've booked your thing and click that you're checking bags. And you want to do that before twenty four hours before the flight. Why because robes they're gonna charge even more.
00:03:20
Speaker 2: Well, you can't even check in until twenty four hours you know your flight. What if you do all of that twenty three hours before your flight? Sometimes I check in an hour before my flight or two hours before.
00:03:30
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're going to hit an extra fee. So on top of the increase for the check bags, they're then going to be a ten dollars fee on top of it if you don't check the bag early enough. You need to do this. Good luck because a lot of people aren't going to know that robe. They're gonna get to the airport.
00:03:44
Speaker 3: That's gonna be tough.
00:03:45
Speaker 2: Woo.
00:03:46
Speaker 3: All right.
00:03:46
Speaker 2: Next up on the run that good news, TJ was talking about TSA agents are getting paid. Most officers began getting their back pay yesterday and reminder, they're only being paid now because President Trump signed that order directing the DHS secretary to do so.
00:04:03
Speaker 1: And that's important to note that they're being paid now because the President did this and not because Congress did something. Congress has done nothing. We're stealing the shutdown, So we don't know, Robes, if this money is just for work they've already done, or if this now puts them back on their regular cycle. You pointed out the word you didn't like, the word accrued at the Trump's. Trump's order to get them paid included the word accrued.
00:04:27
Speaker 2: Yeah, for money accrued, not money going forward. So it's unclear whether or not they will continue to get paid checks as long as the shutdown continues, which it's going to for at least two weeks.
00:04:38
Speaker 1: We continue on this run. Now we're going to head down to it Atlanta talking about TSA workers just starting to get paid, but already some are being told they need to return some money. And this requires some explanation. Ropes.
00:04:49
Speaker 2: Yes, Tyler Perry was handing out thousand dollars gift cards to TSA agents in his hometown Atlanta Airport.
00:04:54
Speaker 3: Well, now those workers are being.
00:04:56
Speaker 2: Told they have to return them because that could violate federal rules about what types of gifts federal employees can accept. Now, initially he was trying what I had read, he was trying to hand out cash and he was told that is illegal. So he went back and got visa gift cards and then gave them that way how they're going to track down where and who those hilarious? Yeah, it took those. Yeah, good luck, they're not giving those back. And you know what, I don't think they should.
00:05:23
Speaker 1: They spent it immediately, didn't They needed that money?
00:05:26
Speaker 3: Of course they did.
00:05:27
Speaker 1: And Tyler Perry did coordinate this with the airport. He just started handing stuff out that this is one of those that just like.
00:05:33
Speaker 3: Come on, let this go. This just look the other way.
00:05:36
Speaker 1: All right, continue on the run. Now Atlanta Airport, Miami Airport, Houston Airport, Lax Airport, now Donald Trump Airport. We knew this was coming, didn't we.
00:05:46
Speaker 2: The Donald J. International Airport. It is happening. Where might you think or imagine this.
00:05:52
Speaker 3: Could just be taking place? Unbelievable, not so shocking.
00:05:55
Speaker 2: Governor Ron DeSantis signed to bill yesterday to officially re named the Palm Beach International Airport after a sitting president.
00:06:05
Speaker 1: You threw that in there. Yes, Donald J. Trump, It will be the Donald J. Trump International Airport starting in July. As early as July, I think they say it.
00:06:14
Speaker 2: But yes, they are all for the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of around country. That is what they have used as an excuse for every single strange Donald J. Trump renaming of anything. It's all in commemoration of our two hundred and fiftieth anniversary.
00:06:29
Speaker 1: Commemorate the country, not him, right, that's what you're saying.
00:06:32
Speaker 3: They're kind of the same.
00:06:33
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, yes, it's at his hometown airport. If you will right out the road from our alago and get this, you can land at the Donald J. Trump Airport and then take a road on Donald J. Trump Avenue all the way to bor Oligo.
00:06:47
Speaker 3: We Oh, by the way, the airport code is my favorite.
00:06:52
Speaker 1: It's not official yet, but this has to be, it, doesn't.
00:06:54
Speaker 3: It DJT It has to be of course.
00:06:59
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, are right next up on the run and let's stay in airline mode. The CEO of Air Canada says he is going to step down just a week after that deadly collision at LaGuardia, but not for the reasons you might imagine. Michael Rousseau has been at the Helm since twenty twenty one. He faced some major backlash.
00:07:18
Speaker 3: After the crash.
00:07:19
Speaker 1: Yeah, and folks, who will remember two pilots died when that jet ran into an emergency vehicle on the tarmac. Now this rope we see issues at airlines before we think, well, was there something that they do something wrong and the CEO or some executive gets held accountable. This isn't that he's being held accountable robes because he is not bilingual. This man does not speak French, and so when he put out a condolence video about the Air Canada crash, he did it all in English. Now, for us here in America, it might not be a big deal. Rolled in Canada, you just messed up.
00:07:52
Speaker 3: You just I think in it he said, bonjour and me c.
00:07:55
Speaker 1: That was it.
00:07:55
Speaker 3: That was it.
00:07:56
Speaker 1: I got more than that in my French. Wow. And I'm not the head of a French airline.
00:08:01
Speaker 2: Yeah. Look, I can understand him maybe having to issue an apology and promise to get on dual lingo.
00:08:07
Speaker 3: But I don't know.
00:08:08
Speaker 2: I guess it was just too little. I was surprised that it would be that offensive. But then again, if you've ever visited Quebec, which is where one of the pilots was from and the official home city right of Air Canada, nobody speaks English like no one, so I'm actually surprised he hasn't picked up French living in Quebec.
00:08:27
Speaker 1: And he has been with Airlines since twenty twenty two. Twenty twenty one helped them through the pandemic. Actually, and folks the official language of Canada. They got two English and French, and it was It came off as offensive and they have a long history and adversarial in a lot of ways with the British. Literally they have a problem with English and the English.
00:08:50
Speaker 3: But not the French. Okay, right next, that's on them.
00:08:54
Speaker 1: I'm not questioning their identity.
00:08:57
Speaker 2: Next up on the Run, the Pentagon is looking into a helicopter training mission that seems to have Kid Rock's house on its training route.
00:09:06
Speaker 1: Did you see this video?
00:09:07
Speaker 3: I did see it.
00:09:08
Speaker 1: I to be honest, it was crazy. I thought it was crazy. That was kind of cool. It just kind of looked dope from a dude standpoint.
00:09:13
Speaker 2: There's a still shot from the video that does look exactly that dope.
00:09:18
Speaker 1: He's standing there and he's looking out and the.
00:09:21
Speaker 3: His infinity pool is in the foreground.
00:09:22
Speaker 1: The pool is great, but he's kind of in the shadow because it's so much light it just looks cool. This Apache helicopter is right there, looks like it's feet away from where he's standing at his house on the hill. He salutes, he waves. It looks cool. It also looks like something we shouldn't be doing on a training mission, So they're looking into this. The local folks down there at the base said this was on their training route. But still it doesn't seem like the training route required you to stop fifty feet from Kid Rock's house cover for a second.
00:09:54
Speaker 3: So the Pentagon's reviewing there, looking into it all right.
00:09:57
Speaker 2: Next up on the run, Police in Texas say a fifteen year old student shot his teacher at school on Monday, before turning the gun on himself.
00:10:06
Speaker 1: I said, a Hill County College Preparatory High School. This is outside of San Antonio, about thirty miles north, they say, But don't have a motive here. Don't understand where the kid got the gun. In fact, they say the kid's parents showed up when alerts went out about a shooting, thinking they didn't know their kid.
00:10:23
Speaker 3: Was this, Oh my goodness, shooter.
00:10:25
Speaker 1: But yeah, and don't know the condition of the teacher. But the teacher did survive. Don't know if life threatening injuries at this point or not. But no answers as to why this happened.
00:10:32
Speaker 3: Oh what a sad story, all right.
00:10:34
Speaker 2: Next up on the run, an execution that was scheduled for tonight in Florida is now officially on hold and it's unclear if it will ever be carried out. James Duckett has been on death row for nearly forty years for the nineteen eighty seven rape and murder of an eleven year old girl.
00:10:51
Speaker 1: Yeah, but last week his lawyers requested and were granted a stay of execution by the state Supreme Court in order for DNA testing to take place. Duck It claim this DNA testing could exonerate him. But the results came back late last week and we were on the edge of our seat. Oh my goodness, this could exonerate a man that's been on death row for forty years. Well, you got the results back and didn't tell as much of anything.
00:11:12
Speaker 2: Yeah, inconclusive was the official response. So the state wants the execution to go forward because they said, hey, this doesn't exonerate him. But the Supreme Court says it is going to keep its stay in place until at least Thursday. That is when they have requested a status update on pending issues in the case, and we might get more answers about what Ducket's face. Well, fate will ultimately be all.
00:11:35
Speaker 1: Right, We'll stay with us here on this Tuesday morning run when we come back, Taylor Swift being sue Celine Dion is coming back. The final four is set and it looks an awful like the women's final four we saw last year.
00:11:46
Speaker 2: Stay here, Welcome back everyone to this Tuesday morning run. I didn't think about what day of the week it is, but it's a gorgeous day here, so maybe I'm just thinking about sunshine.
00:12:04
Speaker 1: And you're thinking ahead noon.
00:12:05
Speaker 2: Yes, all right, but let's think about Taylor Swift. She's a busy these days, fresh off her success from her record breaking album Life of a Showgirl. Well, now she's being sued by an actual show girl.
00:12:18
Speaker 1: This is really interesting. The lady's name is Maren Wade and she's a longtime Vegas performer who's had a weekly column since twenty fourteen, and she called it Confessions of a Showgirl. It chronicles her life working in Vegas. She also has the podcast Cabaret Show that was launched with the same branding. She's essentially saying, it's too close. It seems affiliated. This was mine. I work to build it. And she even cites in the lawsuit that Taylor Swift and her team were aware of similarities and decided to push forward and go ahead with this. So if I see anything now that says anything of a showgirl, I affiliate it with Taylor Swift doing I And that is part of the problem. You have essentially taken something that she worked to brand.
00:12:59
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, Confessions of a Showgirl, Life of a Showgirl. When I see Confessions of It, I think chopaholic. So does she take that from that movie in that book?
00:13:08
Speaker 3: You know she did?
00:13:09
Speaker 2: She take her her whole branding out of a book that was popular that peeped right around that time, Confessions of a Chopaholic, and she went with Confessions of a Showgirl.
00:13:19
Speaker 1: So your response is, there's.
00:13:20
Speaker 3: Nothing new under the sun.
00:13:21
Speaker 2: And I just don't feel like that's close enough for her to have a legitimate claim.
00:13:25
Speaker 3: But I am not a judge or a jury.
00:13:27
Speaker 1: Patent law is so interesting to me because they do this all the time, and celebrities are notorious for it. They like they go threaten people if you dare get close to any of their branding.
00:13:41
Speaker 3: So they win, though I don't know as a girl.
00:13:43
Speaker 1: In Australia that had a lawsuit against Katy Perry.
00:13:46
Speaker 2: Oh yes, because her name is Katy Perry and she like has a makeup artist and she anyway, they were.
00:13:51
Speaker 3: Like, Katy Perry can still use her name.
00:13:55
Speaker 1: This stuff is interesting.
00:13:56
Speaker 3: If it's your name, this is a little different, I guess. But yeah, no, that's fascinating. We should fallow up on that.
00:14:00
Speaker 2: But next up on the run Celine Dion, this is huge, is officially coming back ten shows in Paris this fall.
00:14:07
Speaker 1: Babe.
00:14:08
Speaker 3: I would go to Paris to see Celine Dion.
00:14:10
Speaker 1: Wait, when does it happen we're in Paris? Win, Well, it is June.
00:14:13
Speaker 2: But there's never too much or too many times to visit Paris during a year. You know what.
00:14:18
Speaker 1: The wonderful when I heard this news, I didn't get excited because ooh, look at to see her performer. Ooh, maybe I'll go to a concert. It was Wow, she must be doing better in her health.
00:14:27
Speaker 3: That's exciting.
00:14:28
Speaker 1: That's exciting. Celeen Dione is okay enough that she can start performing again.
00:14:32
Speaker 2: I'm all about that's awesome because if you remember, she stopped performing back in twenty twenty two, she has a rare neurological disorder. It's known as stiff person syndrome. It's it's rare. I had never heard of it before. But it's so good to hear that she's doing better. She's going to be back on the stage, and my goodness, the world needs to hear her voice.
00:14:50
Speaker 1: And the world heard it. You remember how that was a moment at the Appeah opening ceremony.
00:14:53
Speaker 3: It was fun, phenomenal.
00:14:55
Speaker 2: I cannot wait to see her back in action some of my favorite songs.
00:14:59
Speaker 1: Oh so here, August, finally here on the run. Yes, the women's final four is now set and they are a role just going to run it back from last year because you got the same four teams from last year's final four in this year's final four.
00:15:12
Speaker 2: You know you predicted this well kind of you said, basically, the best chance of having a non busted bracket are to do the women's because they're they're predictable. And we were laughing having a whole thing about how women it's the one time women are predictable, because in any other way in life, we are not.
00:15:28
Speaker 1: But and here they are.
00:15:30
Speaker 3: Here they are what do you attribute that to?
00:15:33
Speaker 1: They're just at the at the top. They're more dominant. In women's basketball, you got some programs that just stay dominant. They get the same recruits as a Yukon. It's it was Tennessee for a long time. Now you've got South Carolina's up there. You got Texas, so you just powerhouse programs that don't mess up in turn of time. But you got Yukon, South Carolina, Texas, UCLA all number one seeds. They were all in the final four last year. And last year they went in as three number one seeds and one number two seeds. The high seed. Hey fill out a break, and all the one seeds. And on the women's side, do it. On the men's side, you're gonna get screwed.
00:16:05
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, Well it's funny. I did, and then and then it's switched. But you know what, I'm gonna come up with one right now, take care of it. Okay, here it is. You'll like this one. Let them call you difficult. The ocean never apologized for its depth.
00:16:24
Speaker 1: Let them call you difficult. The ocean never apologized Where it's depth, What does that mean.
00:16:30
Speaker 3: Meaning, never apologize for who you are.
00:16:32
Speaker 2: Do what feels right, be who you are, be true to yourself, and don't change or become something different because someone labels you something, calls you difficult. You know, I think I feel like you oftentimes say something similar to this. No, I'm the one who's saying no. I'm the one who's saying hold up. I'm always the voice in the room that's different than the rest. And the point being is never apologize for who you are, because that can create something as beautiful as the ocean, as deep and as blue, might not look like everybody else.
00:17:05
Speaker 3: You like it.
00:17:07
Speaker 1: I'm having a tough time with the connection between being called difficult in the ocean, being called deep as if it's a it's being like it's an insult to the ocean in some way. That's what I'm having a hard time with. Look, this is happening in real time. She hits me with these I had heard, this is I didn't know. So I'm having heart with a deep part. How I get from me being difficult to the ocean being deep?
00:17:31
Speaker 3: Okay, well, I'll do better tomorrow. And with that everyone, we hope.
00:17:36
Speaker 2: Some of you are inspired I'm Amy Robot, and I am also an inspired, yet difficult and deep TJ.
00:17:42
Speaker 1: Holmes saying we will run with the alt Zoon
Speaker 1: Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast.
00:00:05
Speaker 2: Good morning everyone, it is Tuesday, March thirty. First, I'm Amy Robots.
00:00:09
Speaker 1: And I'm TJ Holmes. Good news, bad news. The good news is TSA workers are being paid. Yay. Yeah, bad news. We don't know for how long we'll get into all that, but some relief at the airports that's great. And TSA workers getting their checks. That is something we have been going for six weeks not being able to say that. So here we are. We should start with good news.
00:00:31
Speaker 2: Yes, congratulations for actually getting paid for work you've already completed.
00:00:36
Speaker 3: Good luck in getting paid again.
00:00:39
Speaker 1: Wow.
00:00:40
Speaker 3: Okay, sorry, wow, that was negative.
00:00:43
Speaker 1: On a happy note, Welcome to this morning Run. We are fresh off of an actual one run. We I don't know if you want to know. This is not smell a cast, but we literally just ran and came back inside to record. So this we actually did a run before this morning Run. We usually don't do them that early because it's been.
00:01:00
Speaker 2: Cold, yes, and because you love to keep the apartment oh so toasty.
00:01:04
Speaker 3: I am now profusely sweating.
00:01:06
Speaker 1: Oh it's nasty, all it's fine. You are glistening, not profusely sweating. You are glistening, But good morning do you all. I always appreciate you having coming along with us for a run, but we do need to start, we said. Good news, bad news, Yes, the good news about TSA agent's rope. There is some pretty bad news. A pretty significant benchmark has been crossed when it comes to gas prices, which have been going up.
00:01:28
Speaker 3: That's right.
00:01:29
Speaker 2: They are now at four dollars per gallon four two to be exact. And that is the highest average we have had since twenty twenty two, which coincided with the beginning of the Russia Ukraine War.
00:01:41
Speaker 1: Yes, wars seem to do a number on gas and oil prices. Yes, oil prices were up as well, around that one hundred and thirteen sixteen dollars mark, which is scaring folks. But the highest price of gas, you folks in California are paying the highest. Five dollars and ninety cents is the average. That's really high. But robes to think of a month ago, it was a dollar thirty less. They were paying four to sixty three before the war started on average. Now it's up to five ninety in California.
00:02:07
Speaker 2: That is significant and the lowest rate Iowa, Kansas, and Oklahoma.
00:02:11
Speaker 3: You're at about three twenty eight a gallon.
00:02:13
Speaker 2: But again, everybody's gas prices have gone out by at least a dollar or more a gallon.
00:02:19
Speaker 1: And you know, yes, you're already paying more for gas's putting your own car. But you knew that airlines at some point Ropes is going to come back and they're going to have to start passing on costs to customers. And so it begins. Jet Blue is going to start passing along those increased fuel costs to passengers. I guess this is the quickest, easiest way to do it. Roll with baggage fees.
00:02:38
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're raising checked bag feeds thirty nine dollars for the first bag. That's up four dollars. It was thirty five and fifty nine dollars. For the second bag, that's up nine dollars. It was fifty bucks.
00:02:51
Speaker 3: So yeah, there's a little caveat to those numbers.
00:02:54
Speaker 1: However, you didn't like this. I didn't like this either. Work No, it didn't sound bad. Four dollars or whatever for the first bag. But you have to and listen to this, folks. If you're flying Jet Blue, you have to check that bag twenty four hours before your flight, Meaning you need to get online and go through wherever you've booked your thing and click that you're checking bags. And you want to do that before twenty four hours before the flight. Why because robes they're gonna charge even more.
00:03:20
Speaker 2: Well, you can't even check in until twenty four hours you know your flight. What if you do all of that twenty three hours before your flight? Sometimes I check in an hour before my flight or two hours before.
00:03:30
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're going to hit an extra fee. So on top of the increase for the check bags, they're then going to be a ten dollars fee on top of it if you don't check the bag early enough. You need to do this. Good luck because a lot of people aren't going to know that robe. They're gonna get to the airport.
00:03:44
Speaker 3: That's gonna be tough.
00:03:45
Speaker 2: Woo.
00:03:46
Speaker 3: All right.
00:03:46
Speaker 2: Next up on the run that good news, TJ was talking about TSA agents are getting paid. Most officers began getting their back pay yesterday and reminder, they're only being paid now because President Trump signed that order directing the DHS secretary to do so.
00:04:03
Speaker 1: And that's important to note that they're being paid now because the President did this and not because Congress did something. Congress has done nothing. We're stealing the shutdown, So we don't know, Robes, if this money is just for work they've already done, or if this now puts them back on their regular cycle. You pointed out the word you didn't like, the word accrued at the Trump's. Trump's order to get them paid included the word accrued.
00:04:27
Speaker 2: Yeah, for money accrued, not money going forward. So it's unclear whether or not they will continue to get paid checks as long as the shutdown continues, which it's going to for at least two weeks.
00:04:38
Speaker 1: We continue on this run. Now we're going to head down to it Atlanta talking about TSA workers just starting to get paid, but already some are being told they need to return some money. And this requires some explanation. Ropes.
00:04:49
Speaker 2: Yes, Tyler Perry was handing out thousand dollars gift cards to TSA agents in his hometown Atlanta Airport.
00:04:54
Speaker 3: Well, now those workers are being.
00:04:56
Speaker 2: Told they have to return them because that could violate federal rules about what types of gifts federal employees can accept. Now, initially he was trying what I had read, he was trying to hand out cash and he was told that is illegal. So he went back and got visa gift cards and then gave them that way how they're going to track down where and who those hilarious? Yeah, it took those. Yeah, good luck, they're not giving those back. And you know what, I don't think they should.
00:05:23
Speaker 1: They spent it immediately, didn't They needed that money?
00:05:26
Speaker 3: Of course they did.
00:05:27
Speaker 1: And Tyler Perry did coordinate this with the airport. He just started handing stuff out that this is one of those that just like.
00:05:33
Speaker 3: Come on, let this go. This just look the other way.
00:05:36
Speaker 1: All right, continue on the run. Now Atlanta Airport, Miami Airport, Houston Airport, Lax Airport, now Donald Trump Airport. We knew this was coming, didn't we.
00:05:46
Speaker 2: The Donald J. International Airport. It is happening. Where might you think or imagine this.
00:05:52
Speaker 3: Could just be taking place? Unbelievable, not so shocking.
00:05:55
Speaker 2: Governor Ron DeSantis signed to bill yesterday to officially re named the Palm Beach International Airport after a sitting president.
00:06:05
Speaker 1: You threw that in there. Yes, Donald J. Trump, It will be the Donald J. Trump International Airport starting in July. As early as July, I think they say it.
00:06:14
Speaker 2: But yes, they are all for the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of around country. That is what they have used as an excuse for every single strange Donald J. Trump renaming of anything. It's all in commemoration of our two hundred and fiftieth anniversary.
00:06:29
Speaker 1: Commemorate the country, not him, right, that's what you're saying.
00:06:32
Speaker 3: They're kind of the same.
00:06:33
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, yes, it's at his hometown airport. If you will right out the road from our alago and get this, you can land at the Donald J. Trump Airport and then take a road on Donald J. Trump Avenue all the way to bor Oligo.
00:06:47
Speaker 3: We Oh, by the way, the airport code is my favorite.
00:06:52
Speaker 1: It's not official yet, but this has to be, it, doesn't.
00:06:54
Speaker 3: It DJT It has to be of course.
00:06:59
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, are right next up on the run and let's stay in airline mode. The CEO of Air Canada says he is going to step down just a week after that deadly collision at LaGuardia, but not for the reasons you might imagine. Michael Rousseau has been at the Helm since twenty twenty one. He faced some major backlash.
00:07:18
Speaker 3: After the crash.
00:07:19
Speaker 1: Yeah, and folks, who will remember two pilots died when that jet ran into an emergency vehicle on the tarmac. Now this rope we see issues at airlines before we think, well, was there something that they do something wrong and the CEO or some executive gets held accountable. This isn't that he's being held accountable robes because he is not bilingual. This man does not speak French, and so when he put out a condolence video about the Air Canada crash, he did it all in English. Now, for us here in America, it might not be a big deal. Rolled in Canada, you just messed up.
00:07:52
Speaker 3: You just I think in it he said, bonjour and me c.
00:07:55
Speaker 1: That was it.
00:07:55
Speaker 3: That was it.
00:07:56
Speaker 1: I got more than that in my French. Wow. And I'm not the head of a French airline.
00:08:01
Speaker 2: Yeah. Look, I can understand him maybe having to issue an apology and promise to get on dual lingo.
00:08:07
Speaker 3: But I don't know.
00:08:08
Speaker 2: I guess it was just too little. I was surprised that it would be that offensive. But then again, if you've ever visited Quebec, which is where one of the pilots was from and the official home city right of Air Canada, nobody speaks English like no one, so I'm actually surprised he hasn't picked up French living in Quebec.
00:08:27
Speaker 1: And he has been with Airlines since twenty twenty two. Twenty twenty one helped them through the pandemic. Actually, and folks the official language of Canada. They got two English and French, and it was It came off as offensive and they have a long history and adversarial in a lot of ways with the British. Literally they have a problem with English and the English.
00:08:50
Speaker 3: But not the French. Okay, right next, that's on them.
00:08:54
Speaker 1: I'm not questioning their identity.
00:08:57
Speaker 2: Next up on the Run, the Pentagon is looking into a helicopter training mission that seems to have Kid Rock's house on its training route.
00:09:06
Speaker 1: Did you see this video?
00:09:07
Speaker 3: I did see it.
00:09:08
Speaker 1: I to be honest, it was crazy. I thought it was crazy. That was kind of cool. It just kind of looked dope from a dude standpoint.
00:09:13
Speaker 2: There's a still shot from the video that does look exactly that dope.
00:09:18
Speaker 1: He's standing there and he's looking out and the.
00:09:21
Speaker 3: His infinity pool is in the foreground.
00:09:22
Speaker 1: The pool is great, but he's kind of in the shadow because it's so much light it just looks cool. This Apache helicopter is right there, looks like it's feet away from where he's standing at his house on the hill. He salutes, he waves. It looks cool. It also looks like something we shouldn't be doing on a training mission, So they're looking into this. The local folks down there at the base said this was on their training route. But still it doesn't seem like the training route required you to stop fifty feet from Kid Rock's house cover for a second.
00:09:54
Speaker 3: So the Pentagon's reviewing there, looking into it all right.
00:09:57
Speaker 2: Next up on the run, Police in Texas say a fifteen year old student shot his teacher at school on Monday, before turning the gun on himself.
00:10:06
Speaker 1: I said, a Hill County College Preparatory High School. This is outside of San Antonio, about thirty miles north, they say, But don't have a motive here. Don't understand where the kid got the gun. In fact, they say the kid's parents showed up when alerts went out about a shooting, thinking they didn't know their kid.
00:10:23
Speaker 3: Was this, Oh my goodness, shooter.
00:10:25
Speaker 1: But yeah, and don't know the condition of the teacher. But the teacher did survive. Don't know if life threatening injuries at this point or not. But no answers as to why this happened.
00:10:32
Speaker 3: Oh what a sad story, all right.
00:10:34
Speaker 2: Next up on the run, an execution that was scheduled for tonight in Florida is now officially on hold and it's unclear if it will ever be carried out. James Duckett has been on death row for nearly forty years for the nineteen eighty seven rape and murder of an eleven year old girl.
00:10:51
Speaker 1: Yeah, but last week his lawyers requested and were granted a stay of execution by the state Supreme Court in order for DNA testing to take place. Duck It claim this DNA testing could exonerate him. But the results came back late last week and we were on the edge of our seat. Oh my goodness, this could exonerate a man that's been on death row for forty years. Well, you got the results back and didn't tell as much of anything.
00:11:12
Speaker 2: Yeah, inconclusive was the official response. So the state wants the execution to go forward because they said, hey, this doesn't exonerate him. But the Supreme Court says it is going to keep its stay in place until at least Thursday. That is when they have requested a status update on pending issues in the case, and we might get more answers about what Ducket's face. Well, fate will ultimately be all.
00:11:35
Speaker 1: Right, We'll stay with us here on this Tuesday morning run when we come back, Taylor Swift being sue Celine Dion is coming back. The final four is set and it looks an awful like the women's final four we saw last year.
00:11:46
Speaker 2: Stay here, Welcome back everyone to this Tuesday morning run. I didn't think about what day of the week it is, but it's a gorgeous day here, so maybe I'm just thinking about sunshine.
00:12:04
Speaker 1: And you're thinking ahead noon.
00:12:05
Speaker 2: Yes, all right, but let's think about Taylor Swift. She's a busy these days, fresh off her success from her record breaking album Life of a Showgirl. Well, now she's being sued by an actual show girl.
00:12:18
Speaker 1: This is really interesting. The lady's name is Maren Wade and she's a longtime Vegas performer who's had a weekly column since twenty fourteen, and she called it Confessions of a Showgirl. It chronicles her life working in Vegas. She also has the podcast Cabaret Show that was launched with the same branding. She's essentially saying, it's too close. It seems affiliated. This was mine. I work to build it. And she even cites in the lawsuit that Taylor Swift and her team were aware of similarities and decided to push forward and go ahead with this. So if I see anything now that says anything of a showgirl, I affiliate it with Taylor Swift doing I And that is part of the problem. You have essentially taken something that she worked to brand.
00:12:59
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, Confessions of a Showgirl, Life of a Showgirl. When I see Confessions of It, I think chopaholic. So does she take that from that movie in that book?
00:13:08
Speaker 3: You know she did?
00:13:09
Speaker 2: She take her her whole branding out of a book that was popular that peeped right around that time, Confessions of a Chopaholic, and she went with Confessions of a Showgirl.
00:13:19
Speaker 1: So your response is, there's.
00:13:20
Speaker 3: Nothing new under the sun.
00:13:21
Speaker 2: And I just don't feel like that's close enough for her to have a legitimate claim.
00:13:25
Speaker 3: But I am not a judge or a jury.
00:13:27
Speaker 1: Patent law is so interesting to me because they do this all the time, and celebrities are notorious for it. They like they go threaten people if you dare get close to any of their branding.
00:13:41
Speaker 3: So they win, though I don't know as a girl.
00:13:43
Speaker 1: In Australia that had a lawsuit against Katy Perry.
00:13:46
Speaker 2: Oh yes, because her name is Katy Perry and she like has a makeup artist and she anyway, they were.
00:13:51
Speaker 3: Like, Katy Perry can still use her name.
00:13:55
Speaker 1: This stuff is interesting.
00:13:56
Speaker 3: If it's your name, this is a little different, I guess. But yeah, no, that's fascinating. We should fallow up on that.
00:14:00
Speaker 2: But next up on the run Celine Dion, this is huge, is officially coming back ten shows in Paris this fall.
00:14:07
Speaker 1: Babe.
00:14:08
Speaker 3: I would go to Paris to see Celine Dion.
00:14:10
Speaker 1: Wait, when does it happen we're in Paris? Win, Well, it is June.
00:14:13
Speaker 2: But there's never too much or too many times to visit Paris during a year. You know what.
00:14:18
Speaker 1: The wonderful when I heard this news, I didn't get excited because ooh, look at to see her performer. Ooh, maybe I'll go to a concert. It was Wow, she must be doing better in her health.
00:14:27
Speaker 3: That's exciting.
00:14:28
Speaker 1: That's exciting. Celeen Dione is okay enough that she can start performing again.
00:14:32
Speaker 2: I'm all about that's awesome because if you remember, she stopped performing back in twenty twenty two, she has a rare neurological disorder. It's known as stiff person syndrome. It's it's rare. I had never heard of it before. But it's so good to hear that she's doing better. She's going to be back on the stage, and my goodness, the world needs to hear her voice.
00:14:50
Speaker 1: And the world heard it. You remember how that was a moment at the Appeah opening ceremony.
00:14:53
Speaker 3: It was fun, phenomenal.
00:14:55
Speaker 2: I cannot wait to see her back in action some of my favorite songs.
00:14:59
Speaker 1: Oh so here, August, finally here on the run. Yes, the women's final four is now set and they are a role just going to run it back from last year because you got the same four teams from last year's final four in this year's final four.
00:15:12
Speaker 2: You know you predicted this well kind of you said, basically, the best chance of having a non busted bracket are to do the women's because they're they're predictable. And we were laughing having a whole thing about how women it's the one time women are predictable, because in any other way in life, we are not.
00:15:28
Speaker 1: But and here they are.
00:15:30
Speaker 3: Here they are what do you attribute that to?
00:15:33
Speaker 1: They're just at the at the top. They're more dominant. In women's basketball, you got some programs that just stay dominant. They get the same recruits as a Yukon. It's it was Tennessee for a long time. Now you've got South Carolina's up there. You got Texas, so you just powerhouse programs that don't mess up in turn of time. But you got Yukon, South Carolina, Texas, UCLA all number one seeds. They were all in the final four last year. And last year they went in as three number one seeds and one number two seeds. The high seed. Hey fill out a break, and all the one seeds. And on the women's side, do it. On the men's side, you're gonna get screwed.
00:16:05
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, Well it's funny. I did, and then and then it's switched. But you know what, I'm gonna come up with one right now, take care of it. Okay, here it is. You'll like this one. Let them call you difficult. The ocean never apologized for its depth.
00:16:24
Speaker 1: Let them call you difficult. The ocean never apologized Where it's depth, What does that mean.
00:16:30
Speaker 3: Meaning, never apologize for who you are.
00:16:32
Speaker 2: Do what feels right, be who you are, be true to yourself, and don't change or become something different because someone labels you something, calls you difficult. You know, I think I feel like you oftentimes say something similar to this. No, I'm the one who's saying no. I'm the one who's saying hold up. I'm always the voice in the room that's different than the rest. And the point being is never apologize for who you are, because that can create something as beautiful as the ocean, as deep and as blue, might not look like everybody else.
00:17:05
Speaker 3: You like it.
00:17:07
Speaker 1: I'm having a tough time with the connection between being called difficult in the ocean, being called deep as if it's a it's being like it's an insult to the ocean in some way. That's what I'm having a hard time with. Look, this is happening in real time. She hits me with these I had heard, this is I didn't know. So I'm having heart with a deep part. How I get from me being difficult to the ocean being deep?
00:17:31
Speaker 3: Okay, well, I'll do better tomorrow. And with that everyone, we hope.
00:17:36
Speaker 2: Some of you are inspired I'm Amy Robot, and I am also an inspired, yet difficult and deep TJ.
00:17:42
Speaker 1: Holmes saying we will run with the alt Zoon
