Speaker 1: Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast.
00:00:05
Speaker 2: Hey there, everyone, and welcome to your Monday Morning Run. Yeah, it's Monday, March sixteenth.
00:00:12
Speaker 1: I'm Amy Robot, N'm TJ Holmes, and we are taking a ride on the struggle bus this morning. So late night long show three hours forty two minutes is ish show for the Oscars. Last night. We started earlier, which was nice, it was helpful, but it seemed like it's ended up landing just as leek.
00:00:31
Speaker 2: As you know, right, It went on and on and on, and we'll get into all of that today. And it's also you know what, it's foggy, it's misty, it's just a morning. It would have been so nice to sleep in.
00:00:45
Speaker 1: Yeah, but not the case. Yes, we'll be making a stop in Hollywood on that red carpet in just a moment. Also on this morning Run, we'll be making stops in Iran to make a stop in Washington, d d C. And also Park City, Utah. Nowd the I'm gonna have to get it together. I am. I'm stumbling over not even words, but like specific letters this morning. I can't quite get it going.
00:01:07
Speaker 2: Try to over annunciate.
00:01:09
Speaker 1: That's we will go with that. But on this run, let's start in Hollywood, the Oscars and I guess ropes. The night belonged to one battle after.
00:01:20
Speaker 2: Another it did. The Paul Thomas Anderson movie won the most awards last night, a total of six, and it won the Big Ones Best Picture and Best Director, along with Best Adapted Screenplay. Sinners came in next with four wins, including for Best Original Screenplay and Best Actor. Michael B. Jordan and I will say, when you go on to all the websites, it really there isn't much being said about one battle after another. All you see is Michael B. Jordan's face and Best Actor. That was the highlight of the evening, and.
00:01:50
Speaker 1: He was the rooting favorite. He was absolutely one.
00:01:53
Speaker 2: I mean, we love our Leonardo Timothy Shalloman.
00:01:57
Speaker 1: He pissed everybody off here lately. Can you imagine if he would have won after all of that? But not to be the case. We everybody loved some Michael B. Jesse Buckley. I didn't realize she swept the.
00:02:09
Speaker 2: Entire awards season.
00:02:11
Speaker 1: I didn't know that. Yeah, so this was a she was a shoe in for the most There was a consensus, yes, Best Actress for Hammond and Sean Penn and Amy Maddigan both won for Best Supporting Role. Sean Penn was not there it was announced and Coulkin Kieran Colkin hearing Colchin, what was the line he used?
00:02:28
Speaker 2: He said, Sean Penn can't be here to accept this award, or maybe he just doesn't want to be here.
00:02:34
Speaker 1: It was well done, it was funny. What did you do? And then Best International Film went to Sentimental Value.
00:02:39
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was nice to say.
00:02:40
Speaker 1: Acting nominations, but it did pick up a big one last night.
00:02:43
Speaker 2: I forgot how much I liked that moment. And again, I'm so glad we watched the movie so we were able to actually feel something when that one. Otherwise it would have just been It would have been lost on us, all right. Other moments of the night, Marty Supreme was completely shut out. That was a little surprising, and history was made. The first woman won Best Cinematography. That was a really, really, really cool moment. Yes for sinners and of note as well. There were some references to Trump, but he was never mentioned by name. So there wasn't a lot of politics when I think many of us might have expected there to be with the war in Iran. A lot of low hanging fruit there that they just decided not to pick.
00:03:24
Speaker 1: Javier Bardem decided to take his moment.
00:03:26
Speaker 2: Yes, Free Palestine.
00:03:27
Speaker 1: Yes. But then they brought out Jimmy Kimmel to present the war for Best Documentary and Best Short Documentary. And he was the one that took the most shots at Trump. Still never said his name, but took shots at Malalamia. Documentary had a couple of moments, but that wasn't too mean. Diane Warren, we have to mention this is seventeen Diane Warren has been nominated seventeen times for Best Song. She has not won yet, and she lost again last night.
00:03:56
Speaker 2: She lost again and I again were waiting for her to win. But I will say she lost to my favorite song, Golden So it was a tough one to win with that in the sorry in the category.
00:04:07
Speaker 1: And that was a tie last night for Best Live Action Short Film. This has only happened, they say six or seven other times in the history of the Catty.
00:04:15
Speaker 2: Just say six, seven, six or seven.
00:04:17
Speaker 1: Okay, don't do this, Yeah, we are not well. I think six. It happens six to seven times, okay, But it was a cool moment how I can't remember his name, how he handled it in the moment. It was the shortest category, but it's going to take the longest.
00:04:35
Speaker 2: It was very fun. I love that. And then well this was also I think tying for my favorite moment of the night with Michael b. Jordan winning was the in memoriam segment. It was so special. Rob and Michelle Reiner were honored by Billy Crystal and playing that theme music from Princess Bride. It, I mean, it moved me to tears literally, it was so beautiful and special.
00:05:02
Speaker 1: And they also continue with Rachel McAdams and Barbara streisand those two also came up and did special tributes McAdams to Diane Keaton and then of course Barbara streisand who starred with Robert Dratford Oza in the way we were, we were and she's saying that was not and that was so appropriate to do. The in memoriam was well done.
00:05:19
Speaker 2: Oh so good. All right, we now leave Hollywood and face some harsh realities. Let's talk about the war with Iran. As it continues. Oil prices are also going up. There is no end in sight right now for what is now the biggest oil disruption in history. Iran has been able to effectively shut down the Strait of Horror Moves, which ordinarily sees about twenty percent of the world's oil supply passed through its waters.
00:05:46
Speaker 1: The oil prices have now reached their highest levels since July of twenty twenty two, hitting more than one hundred and six dollars of barrow. US gas prices are up twenty four percent since the start of the war, now averaging three dollars and seventy since a gallon. President Trump is urging NATO countries now to help us out, to help open up the passageway or else.
00:06:09
Speaker 2: Yes, this is what he said. The or elsis if there is no response, or if it's a negative response, I think it will be very bad for the future of NATO. And he isn't stopping there. Trump also threatened China, saying if China does not help unblock the straight, he's going to postpone a plan April summit in Beijing with President she So we'll see what happens.
00:06:31
Speaker 1: All right, continuing on the run, here now the SEC Chair Brendan Carr, he is added again and you could probably already guess what he's doing. He is threatening to take broadcast licenses away from broadcast networks.
00:06:43
Speaker 2: Why you ask, Well, the administration doesn't like the way the war in Iran is being covered by the networks. President Trump has, no surprise, been critical of media coverage car following up it. Following up that criticism with a post on X saying broadcasters that are running hoaxes and news distortions also known as the fake news, have a chance now to correct course before their license renewals come up. The law is clear broadcasters must operate in the public interest, and they will lose their licenses if they do not.
00:07:15
Speaker 1: Okay, he said that on X, but he had time to think about it and walk it back when he did an interview this weekend with CBS, But he did not at all. It's that he said the broadcasters have a false sense of security. In his words, networks think licenses are some sort of property right, and there's nothing you can do that can result in losing their license. So he's putting them on notice.
00:07:39
Speaker 2: Woo all right. Next up on the run, President Trump has a message for TSA workers. He put this out yesterday. Go to work. I promise that I will never forget you.
00:07:49
Speaker 1: Okay. The President thank TSA workers for continuing to show up to their jobs despite missing their first full paycheck last Friday. They are actually legally required to continue to show up. Trump blamed the radical left Democrats for the continued partial government shutdown, writing they want your money to go to border criminals, murderers, foreign drug dealers, and some of the worst people on Earth. They don't want it to go to.
00:08:12
Speaker 2: You, okay. And that message comes as airports across the country continue to see longer than usual security lines, workers calling out sick because they literally have to find other ways to pay their bills, which has created staffing shortages. Right at the time spring break travel is ramping up. So on Sunday, the CEOs of all the major airlines, including FedEx and UPS wrote and signed a letter to Congress calling on lawmakers to immediately fund the Department of Homeland Security and pay TSA workers during the shutdown. Let's see if that works.
00:08:44
Speaker 1: Well, maybe it's a strongly worded.
00:08:46
Speaker 3: Letter it is, Okay, so there you go, it could possibly work. Something needs to continuing here on our run. Now we'll head on his next leg out to Utah for the so called grief author murder trial. Closing arguments are going to get underway this morning. It's also known by the poisoned husband murder trial.
00:09:07
Speaker 1: We've been going with grief.
00:09:08
Speaker 2: We've been going with grief author.
00:09:09
Speaker 1: Okay, but we're talking about thirty five year old Corey Richards, arrested weeks after publishing a children's book on dealing with grief.
00:09:16
Speaker 2: That's right. She is facing aggravated murder and attempted murder charges, as well as some insurance fraud charges, for the twenty twenty two poisoning death of her husband, Eric Richards. Prosecutors have spent nearly three weeks and forty two witnesses trying to prove Corey Richins purchased fentanyl to spike her husband's Moscow mule so she could recoup millions of dollars in insurance money and start a fresh life with her lover.
00:09:42
Speaker 1: Almost same old story, same old song. How many This is a classic tale.
00:09:47
Speaker 2: This has got both money and romance involved.
00:09:50
Speaker 1: The romance that's cute. How you well?
00:09:52
Speaker 2: Okay, whatever you want to find.
00:09:54
Speaker 1: The defense surprise the courtroom late last week, resting without putting a single witness on the stand. After closing arguments the jury is then going to get the case, going to decide her face. She's facing life in prison. But yeah, Ros, we expected to start this morning and it could go whid.
00:10:12
Speaker 2: Yes, they're expecting the judge should not put any time restrictions on attorneys for their closing arguments, and so this could go for much of the day following, because you've got the prosecution goes first, then the defense, then the prosecution gets to have a rebuttal, and then the judge gives the jury instructions before they head out to deliberate. That will take some time.
00:10:34
Speaker 1: All right, Well, folks, stay with us here on this Monday morning run. When we come back, the madness is about to begin. Robes get ready. Also coming up here, we heard from Lindsey Vaughn about her future. We were not crazy about her response.
00:11:01
Speaker 2: Welcome back everyone to your Monday morning run. And next up on the run, boy is TJ excited? The field is set for the NCED Double A Tournament and Duke is your number one overall seed.
00:11:16
Speaker 1: Can you get that right? You know what that that means? The number one overall seed? Right up on it? Seriously?
00:11:24
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, that means they think that they're the best.
00:11:28
Speaker 1: That's you know what deductive reasoning works. Man, Yeah, that makes sense. We go through this because we I sit next to you sometimes you ask a lot of questions about I want to learn this time of year. So that was one we hadn't discussed. Number one overall seed. I like when you do the sports.
00:11:45
Speaker 2: Stories, go ahead, Arizona, Michigan, and Florida round out the number one seeds. Oh but how hmm an overall number one seed and then you have individual number one seeds. Why is it so confusing?
00:11:58
Speaker 1: Well, you have four number one seeds from.
00:12:01
Speaker 2: The different divisions.
00:12:02
Speaker 1: Different divisions, they're usually raided dins. Now this is about here, we got to see it.
00:12:06
Speaker 2: So why is Arkansas not number one? They just won the SEC championship at four seed.
00:12:11
Speaker 1: They've been ranked by a committee that puts all these teams in an order, and then you're put into a seeding in four different regions. And so there's a number one seed in the West region, the South reason, the East region, the North.
00:12:24
Speaker 2: You know what I'm hearing right now? Wah wah wah, wah wah.
00:12:27
Speaker 1: So just like every time I might talk to you. But yes, the other number one seeds are Arizona, Michigan, and Florida. On the women's side, Yukon gets the number one overall seed. Your other number one seeds are us LA, Texas and South Carolina. All this action gets underway this week, including on Thursday when the Arkansas razorbacks the number four seed out West is going to be playing against Towaii.
00:12:49
Speaker 2: Oh, if it was in Hawaii, I would say, Babe, I really want to support the Hogs. We've got to go see them play.
00:12:56
Speaker 1: You know what I'm hearing?
00:12:59
Speaker 2: Yes, all right, we're excited here, all right for the final leg of our run. Lindsey Vaughn is apparently not ready to answer everyone's questions about what she plans to do next after that horrific crash in the Olympics last month that left her with a fractured leg that nearly had to be amputated.
00:13:17
Speaker 1: Okay, so I can understand the frustration. Everybody's weighing in on what she should do and whether or not she should try and make another comeback in the sport, telling folks on x to essentially she had up and stay out of business.
00:13:30
Speaker 2: Yeah, get mind your own business. Here is what she wrote. Look, she engaged she was I don't know if you saw any of her online back and forth. She was going at it with folks commenting she was clearly upset. But here's what she put on X. No, I'm not ready to discuss my future in skiing. My focus has been on recovering from my injury and getting back to normal life. I was already retired for six years and have an amazing life outside of skiing. It was incredible to be number one in the world again at forty one years old and set new records in my sport. But at my age, I'm the only one that will decide my future. I don't need anyone's permission to do what makes me happy. Maybe that means racing again, maybe that doesn't. Only time will tell. Please stop telling me what I should or should not do. I'll let you know when I decide.
00:14:22
Speaker 1: Aymen, that wasn't mean, it was firm. It was frustrated, but it was from the heart.
00:14:28
Speaker 2: My goodness, It's sad that she had to get to that point, because I feel like for her to get that frustrated, she must have been dealing with And you don't even realize what people are dealing with online, and look, people do read comments, and they do see things and it does affect their mental health, especially someone who's trying to recover.
00:14:45
Speaker 1: So for her, well, what was the line from her dad afterwards after that crash.
00:14:49
Speaker 2: Well, he has publicly stated that he does not want her to go back on the slopes, and of.
00:14:55
Speaker 1: Course he's going to support her. And what all she does? You know, was saying. Didn't like the answer. It sounded like there was an opening, Oh yeah, you might do this again, And I didn't get excited about Wow, it'd be cool to see her again. I felt, Oh no, I just you just I just at this point last time I saw her in that crash, I just it's just scary stuff. And just it's scary, that's all. I just said, like I didn't want alex Hanold to climb that building kind of a thing. That's me.
00:15:20
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean the annoying pressure she's feeling does I'm sure in most cases come from a place of folks who really care about her, so concerned. So anyway, we hope she continues to recover. But on this Monday, we want to leave you with our quote of the day. We are all just one accident, one diagnosis, one unexpected phone call away from a completely different life. So stay humble and never take anything for granted.
00:15:47
Speaker 1: Amen, A man, what a good one. Let's go play today.
00:15:52
Speaker 2: I loved that we're going to work hard.
00:15:55
Speaker 1: But man, we've we've this has come up, for whatever reason, with us a number of times the past week, this idea of just come on, let's go, let's just go do it just time. We just never know, Robes, that's a really good question.
00:16:08
Speaker 2: I love this too, you know, as we all start our week. It's just something to remember in our choices and what we decide to do and who we decide to spend our time with. You know, So one more time for you all. We are all just one accident, one diagnosis, one unexpected phone call away from a completely different life. So stay humble and never take anything for granted. And without everyone, thank you for running with us.
00:16:31
Speaker 1: I made me robots and I'm TJ. Holmes. We'll talk to the lser

Speaker 1: Almost same old story, same old song. How many This is a classic tale.
00:09:47
Speaker 2: This has got both money and romance involved.
00:09:50
Speaker 1: The romance that's cute. How you well?
00:09:52
Speaker 2: Okay, whatever you want to find.
00:09:54
Speaker 1: The defense surprise the courtroom late last week, resting without putting a single witness on the stand. After closing arguments the jury is then going to get the case, going to decide her face. She's facing life in prison. But yeah, Ros, we expected to start this morning and it could go whid.
00:10:12
Speaker 2: Yes, they're expecting the judge should not put any time restrictions on attorneys for their closing arguments, and so this could go for much of the day following, because you've got the prosecution goes first, then the defense, then the prosecution gets to have a rebuttal, and then the judge gives the jury instructions before they head out to deliberate. That will take some time.
00:10:34
Speaker 1: All right, Well, folks, stay with us here on this Monday morning run. When we come back, the madness is about to begin. Robes get ready. Also coming up here, we heard from Lindsey Vaughn about her future. We were not crazy about her response.
00:11:01
Speaker 2: Welcome back everyone to your Monday morning run. And next up on the run, boy is TJ excited? The field is set for the NCED Double A Tournament and Duke is your number one overall seed.
00:11:16
Speaker 1: Can you get that right? You know what that that means? The number one overall seed? Right up on it? Seriously?
00:11:24
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, that means they think that they're the best.
00:11:28
Speaker 1: That's you know what deductive reasoning works. Man, Yeah, that makes sense. We go through this because we I sit next to you sometimes you ask a lot of questions about I want to learn this time of year. So that was one we hadn't discussed. Number one overall seed. I like when you do the sports.
00:11:45
Speaker 2: Stories, go ahead, Arizona, Michigan, and Florida round out the number one seeds. Oh but how hmm an overall number one seed and then you have individual number one seeds. Why is it so confusing?
00:11:58
Speaker 1: Well, you have four number one seeds from.
00:12:01
Speaker 2: The different divisions.
00:12:02
Speaker 1: Different divisions, they're usually raided dins. Now this is about here, we got to see it.
00:12:06
Speaker 2: So why is Arkansas not number one? They just won the SEC championship at four seed.
00:12:11
Speaker 1: They've been ranked by a committee that puts all these teams in an order, and then you're put into a seeding in four different regions. And so there's a number one seed in the West region, the South reason, the East region, the North.
00:12:24
Speaker 2: You know what I'm hearing right now? Wah wah wah, wah wah.
00:12:27
Speaker 1: So just like every time I might talk to you. But yes, the other number one seeds are Arizona, Michigan, and Florida. On the women's side, Yukon gets the number one overall seed. Your other number one seeds are us LA, Texas and South Carolina. All this action gets underway this week, including on Thursday when the Arkansas razorbacks the number four seed out West is going to be playing against Towaii.
00:12:49
Speaker 2: Oh, if it was in Hawaii, I would say, Babe, I really want to support the Hogs. We've got to go see them play.
00:12:56
Speaker 1: You know what I'm hearing?
00:12:59
Speaker 2: Yes, all right, we're excited here, all right for the final leg of our run. Lindsey Vaughn is apparently not ready to answer everyone's questions about what she plans to do next after that horrific crash in the Olympics last month that left her with a fractured leg that nearly had to be amputated.
00:13:17
Speaker 1: Okay, so I can understand the frustration. Everybody's weighing in on what she should do and whether or not she should try and make another comeback in the sport, telling folks on x to essentially she had up and stay out of business.
00:13:30
Speaker 2: Yeah, get mind your own business. Here is what she wrote. Look, she engaged she was I don't know if you saw any of her online back and forth. She was going at it with folks commenting she was clearly upset. But here's what she put on X. No, I'm not ready to discuss my future in skiing. My focus has been on recovering from my injury and getting back to normal life. I was already retired for six years and have an amazing life outside of skiing. It was incredible to be number one in the world again at forty one years old and set new records in my sport. But at my age, I'm the only one that will decide my future. I don't need anyone's permission to do what makes me happy. Maybe that means racing again, maybe that doesn't. Only time will tell. Please stop telling me what I should or should not do. I'll let you know when I decide.
00:14:22
Speaker 1: Aymen, that wasn't mean, it was firm. It was frustrated, but it was from the heart.
00:14:28
Speaker 2: My goodness, It's sad that she had to get to that point, because I feel like for her to get that frustrated, she must have been dealing with And you don't even realize what people are dealing with online, and look, people do read comments, and they do see things and it does affect their mental health, especially someone who's trying to recover.
00:14:45
Speaker 1: So for her, well, what was the line from her dad afterwards after that crash.
00:14:49
Speaker 2: Well, he has publicly stated that he does not want her to go back on the slopes, and of.
00:14:55
Speaker 1: Course he's going to support her. And what all she does? You know, was saying. Didn't like the answer. It sounded like there was an opening, Oh yeah, you might do this again, And I didn't get excited about Wow, it'd be cool to see her again. I felt, Oh no, I just you just I just at this point last time I saw her in that crash, I just it's just scary stuff. And just it's scary, that's all. I just said, like I didn't want alex Hanold to climb that building kind of a thing. That's me.
00:15:20
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean the annoying pressure she's feeling does I'm sure in most cases come from a place of folks who really care about her, so concerned. So anyway, we hope she continues to recover. But on this Monday, we want to leave you with our quote of the day. We are all just one accident, one diagnosis, one unexpected phone call away from a completely different life. So stay humble and never take anything for granted.
00:15:47
Speaker 1: Amen, A man, what a good one. Let's go play today.
00:15:52
Speaker 2: I loved that we're going to work hard.
00:15:55
Speaker 1: But man, we've we've this has come up, for whatever reason, with us a number of times the past week, this idea of just come on, let's go, let's just go do it just time. We just never know, Robes, that's a really good question.
00:16:08
Speaker 2: I love this too, you know, as we all start our week. It's just something to remember in our choices and what we decide to do and who we decide to spend our time with. You know, So one more time for you all. We are all just one accident, one diagnosis, one unexpected phone call away from a completely different life. So stay humble and never take anything for granted. And without everyone, thank you for running with us.
