Speaker 1: Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio podcast. Hello everyone, welcome to Morning Run. It's Thursday, December fourth.
00:00:10
Speaker 2: I'm Amy Robots and I'm TJ Holmes.
00:00:12
Speaker 3: And what did your Spotify rapped tell you about your year? People get so excited about this. It's finally out, came out yesterday and everybody gets their personalized Spotify rapped. We haven't done yet.
00:00:25
Speaker 2: We are waiting. We're actually going to do it on a podcast later today. We'll reveal it.
00:00:31
Speaker 1: But also talk about some of the new features because every year they try to make it better and different, and this year is no exception.
00:00:39
Speaker 2: That's the best yet.
00:00:40
Speaker 3: Yeah, and so some of the obvious things we can tell you off the top. We'll get some details later in the Morning Run here, but yeah, bad Bunny. Number one artists in the World Die with a smile, Number one song totally agree in the world. I'm so I was a little surprised to see how much the list change when you look at the top global artists versus the top us artists.
00:01:00
Speaker 2: I think we can all guess who the top Us artist is.
00:01:02
Speaker 3: See don't give it away, no, but we'll get into all this was take a swift. We'll get into all of that here it just a little bit. Also on the run this morning, only one hostage remains in Gaza. Also Matthew Perry's doctor sentence, Gallaine Maxwell still trying to get out of jail. The New York Times sus Pete Hegseth a major shredded cheese, recall that inmate who escaped via uber has been recaptured, and a renewed effort to find Flight three seventy. Also this morning, Worldes will have an update on the story we were covering very closely about Tara Reid. A lot of people had questions, and the police have now answered the primary question that a lot of people have.
00:01:41
Speaker 1: Yes, we will get to that in just a moment, but we begin with our first leg of the run with President Trump. He continues to stand by his man, Pete Hegseth, despite depending on watchdog report that says the Defense Secretary or the Secretary of War, however, you prefer violated Pentagon policy and endangered US service members when he discussed those sensitive war plans, remember that on his personal cell phone, on that signal messaging app.
00:02:12
Speaker 3: Yeah, so that prompted an investigation which was done again they called a Pentagon watchdog, but it's their Inspector General. This report. It's been leaking out and several outlets have been reporting about the details, but it is expected to be released publicly today. Again, as you just mentioned, Robes, it was a huge story at the time. This journalist from the Atlantic is getting text messages because he was added to a group chat on signal accidentally and Pete heg said, and wasn't the Vice President was on it. They were discussing war plans and strategies and an attack that was coming up that hadn't happened yet in real time.
00:02:46
Speaker 1: Yes, that was the concerning part. Yes, So this Inspector General report says this. So, yes, thankfully it was a reporter from the Atlantic. But if an adversary had intercepted the chat or had accidentally been included on the chat, it certainly would have endangered US service members. So according to the report, using the app, that specific app that he use signal and the personal cell phone, those two things clearly violate Pentagon policy and that makes a lot of sense when it comes to national security.
00:03:22
Speaker 2: But the White House said differently.
00:03:25
Speaker 3: They have a spin for it. They see this report differently, as said, this is a total exoneration of Pete Hegseth. They are saying that this report shows that there was no classified information exchange. They are sticking to that one thing, that there was no classified information. The argument is it wasn't classified before he actually started sending it in the messages. But as Secretary of Defense, he has the right to declassify, but he hadn't done. That is the argument of the report. But Pete Heseth has stayed in the news. The other I guess thing, a big headline he's made in the past several months is how he changed policy for reporters at the Pentagon. Essentially, the new policy is you need to get all of your reporting cleared through US or else we're gonna take your credentials. And at the time everybody went crazy about this, but Fox News and CNN teamed up that lets you know how much of a deal this was. I said, no, this is not okay. So now rogues, we're seeing the first lawsuit. I'm surprised there aren't more. But the New York Times is suing the Pentagon over this, saying you are violating the constitutional rights of our journalists.
00:04:30
Speaker 1: Yes, because it goes against standard operating procedure. This is the practice of journalists who can't have the entity that you're reporting on give you a thumbs up or a thumb's done down on what you can report on. That completely totally upends what journalism is.
00:04:50
Speaker 3: So now the press room is essentially filled with the Pentagon, with a lot of conservative outlets, a lot of MAGA reporters that they will tell you and that's fine. He's given them press passes, but the rest of them turned them in because they wouldn't go on I'll be on board with this policy. It seemed that they were ported is going to fire. Heks No. I mean it seems like this guy can do no wrong in the eye, but he is seeing seemingly a hak like he's been a lot, even when he was first nominated, immediately there was a headache and finding out about this incident, and now these he's been scandal after scandal, and the big meeting with the generals that didn't necessarily go over that well.
00:05:25
Speaker 1: No it did not. Where he called the generals in the audience with him fat asses out of the pal I was just going to say, do I say the F word?
00:05:33
Speaker 2: Yes, but not the other F word. All right.
00:05:36
Speaker 1: Next up on the run, that Georgia inmate we told you about who escaped using an uber, Well he has been recaptured. We're talking about fifty two year old Timothy Shane. We were told he was and we should consider him armed and dangerous. He was captured just outside of Atlanta, in the city of Covington. This is interesting how he was caught or recaptured. Police got reports he was knocking on doors.
00:06:03
Speaker 3: He was probably trying to get in some Yeah, he's looking for shelter, looking to get inside. I mean, what's the weather in Atlanta even right now. I mean he's looking for somewhere to go. And they called and here he is. They ended up tracking him down. Still don't know how he got the uber robes up. Obviously you need a phone or somebody's phone. Did he have one? Who knows? But he got an uber. So the story was he was originally taken into custody last month. He had led police on this chase. Now after he was transferred to a hospital, that's when he escaped. Now he was transferred to the hospital because of a suicide attempt. He walked out of the hospital one third in the morning on Monday, stolen suv crass. The suv fled on foot again and called an uber which picked him up.
00:06:42
Speaker 1: Yes, we don't know how he got I was thinking maybe someone who's the Maybe the suv he stole had had a cell phone in it or a car phone in it.
00:06:51
Speaker 2: I don't know how he was able to call it.
00:06:53
Speaker 3: It had a gun in it and it was missing. So that's why they were saying this isn't armed and dangerous guy.
00:06:57
Speaker 1: Ah okay, but here's the deal. Police say he staged to suicide attempt. So here's the interesting thing. If that's true, Clearly he's planning his escape. He didn't have a lot of planning though on the other side of things, and that's what did him.
00:07:11
Speaker 3: Meant, Hey, maybe he subscribed to the theory one step at a time. Don't want to get it out far out where to go figure out the rest. We'll see how that turned out, all right.
00:07:20
Speaker 1: Next up on the Run, the doctor who sold ketamine to actor Matthew Perry was sentenced yesterday. He was given a two and a half year prison sentence.
00:07:30
Speaker 3: Yes, Salvador Place Sinc. The forty four years old not accused of selling the fatal dose to Matthew Perry, but sold him large amounts in the week's leading up to his death. The judge did acknowledge that point rogues in court yesterday, but said, yes, even though you didn't give him the fatal dose quote, you helped him on his road to his death.
00:07:49
Speaker 2: Wow.
00:07:49
Speaker 3: Essentially. Also, there's a fine two years probation. Perry died October of twenty twenty three of an overdose, and again a reminder. He had been prescribed ketamine, they say, and he just wanted to larger doses and found somebody you'd give it to them.
00:08:02
Speaker 2: Two and a half years behind bars.
00:08:04
Speaker 1: I believe the prosecution was asking for three, his defense team was asking for zero.
00:08:08
Speaker 2: So he got two and a half years.
00:08:10
Speaker 3: He's the first of five people who were charged. I think everybody pled guilty, but he's the first to be sentenced.
00:08:15
Speaker 2: All right, Next up on the run. This is a very positive story.
00:08:19
Speaker 1: Just one hostage remains to be handed over from Hamas to Israel, and Hamas has been returning all of the living hostages as well as the remains of hostages over the past couple of weeks. This is all part of that first phase of the ceasefire Planet seemed so shaky initially, but has been going along smoothly. I mean, no news is good news, it seems in this particular.
00:08:44
Speaker 3: Story because we had questions. There were a couple of moments where bodies were handed over and they checked, say, hey, this isn't an Israeli, this is not a hostage. And then remember they staged a body being found they thought as well. So it's been a back and forth. So as we sit here now only one hostage remains and that is in a Israeli police officer. This last person that was identified was a Thai agricultural worker but has been returned. Those they made a positive identification, and nice to hear they contacted the family so they're aware as well that their family member has been found.
00:09:15
Speaker 2: Yeah, that has to give some peace to those families.
00:09:18
Speaker 3: Right, continuing on the run here now on this Thursday morning, a huge recall of shredded cheese and this stuff was sold in at least thirty one states.
00:09:26
Speaker 1: Okay, this is really scary because we use it, at least I use shredded cheese quite a bit. But guess what could be inside this shredded cheese? This makes my Yeah, oh, this makes me just recoil potential metal fragments.
00:09:42
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh. So yeah, they can cut your mouth, your tongue, your throat. Ah.
00:09:49
Speaker 1: Two hundred and sixty thousand cases have been recalled. This is the Great Lake's Cheese company.
00:09:54
Speaker 3: You know the name.
00:09:55
Speaker 1: No, that's not one that I typically purchased, but you can find that brand.
00:10:02
Speaker 2: Store brands actually Target Walmart.
00:10:04
Speaker 1: So this company makes the cheese and then it's repackaged, re branded with Target and Walmart.
00:10:10
Speaker 2: We don't usually get.
00:10:10
Speaker 1: Our food from Target to Walmart, but for those of you who do, please a heads up. That is not something you want to find the hard way. But you can go to the FDA website for the specifics as to which packages are recalled. But certainly if you got shredded cheese you shop at Target Walmart, you should check it out.
00:10:28
Speaker 3: And sorry, we don't. We didn't put it all in here like we wanted to give the lot number on it's so much and all over the place, we just can't break it down here. But folks, you need to check the FDA website and they say metal fragments. We didn't get explanation of what and how and whatever. But that's that's scary to thing continuing on the run here now this is you know, I was, I was happy to see that they are continuing this effort. Robes a renewed effort now to find Malaysia Air Flight three seventy. You'll remember that name well right. Flight three seventy disappeared with out a trace back in twenty fourteen, had two hundred and thirty nine people on board. It was going from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing at the time, and rode with the big mystery once they started figuring out it was going along its path right on radar, made a hard turn south, nobody knows why, and then just disappeared.
00:11:18
Speaker 2: Right.
00:11:19
Speaker 1: I think the last thing it said was good night as they were crossing over into Vietnamese airspace, never to be seen or heard from again.
00:11:28
Speaker 2: So the Malaysian government.
00:11:30
Speaker 1: Just announced that that search is now going to resume on December thirtieth. They've contracted a US based marine robotics company, it's called Ocean Infinity to take up the search. But here's the interesting thing about this. So the search resumes December thirtieth, they have fifty five days to see what they can find. If they can't find the plane, there's no money, you just they have to eat it. But if they find the plane, seventy million.
00:11:58
Speaker 3: Dollars, it's motivating.
00:12:00
Speaker 1: Yes, there's a fifty eight hundred square mile search area. This is basically the size of Connecticut to give you an idea.
00:12:06
Speaker 2: But the ocean is deep. You imagine that in that area, and who knows.
00:12:10
Speaker 1: What tides and like I can't even It's been almost eleven years since the flight went down. So that is a huge undertaking with a potential huge windfall.
00:12:22
Speaker 3: I'm glad to see they're staying with this. That would love that mystery needs to be solved. All right, continuing on the run here, now, guess who's trying to get out of jail? Well you were probably You know what if I say that, folks will say what? Yes, after I said it, I said, wait a.
00:12:35
Speaker 2: Minute, Gilaine Maxwell would be the next guest.
00:12:37
Speaker 3: That's what we're talking about.
00:12:38
Speaker 1: Now.
00:12:38
Speaker 3: She's trying again to get out of jail. New court filing. She has put the court on notice that she plans to petition a judge for her release from prison, and.
00:12:48
Speaker 1: Her filing comes in response to a DOJ request to release those grand jury transcripts from Maxwell's case.
00:12:55
Speaker 3: This is all a mess. This is connected to Epstein and them trying to get Epstein files out.
00:13:00
Speaker 2: Then yeah, and here's the deal.
00:13:01
Speaker 1: She doesn't want them released. So that's part of this back and forth. The Supreme Court has already told her you ain't getting out of prison.
00:13:11
Speaker 2: All of her appeals have been exhausted.
00:13:13
Speaker 1: She's serving a twenty year sentence because she was convicted of five counts, all related to sex trafficking of minors. So it's not clear right now what grounds she's going to argue for her release. But here's the deal. She's doing this pro se. She's representing herself. So I mean, look, a lot of inmates tend to get very legally wise because they have to and they have time, and they have they have nothing but time.
00:13:41
Speaker 2: So we'll see how her legal skills add up.
00:13:45
Speaker 3: All right, We'll stay with us, folks on this Friday Eve run. When we come back. Police have now chimed in on the Terror Reid allegation that she was drugged at a hotel bar in Chicago. Their response is just didn't happen. Also, Spotify Wrapped is out. Sure, Bad Bunny is the number one streaming artist in the world, but he's barely even in the top five streaming artists in the US. Continuing now on this Thursday morning, run and No, Tara Reid was not drugged, at least that's what police are saying. They say they have no evidence that the actress was drugged. We've talked about this. The incident happened last month at a DoubleTree hotel at near O'Hare International Airport in Chicago. Now, she claimed Robes at the time that she was drugged. She was giving a response. She gave a little interview to TMZ as well, because there was video out that if anybody had seen the video, you would say, Wow, that person, whoever she is, is flat stone black, drunk, wasted, Yes is what you would Sorry, that's the way to summon up.
00:15:03
Speaker 1: Yes, she looked wasted. She claims she only had one glass of white wine. So police say they reviewed the surveillance video from that hotel, which shows, yeah, she got it from the bar, as she said she did, to go smoke a cigarette, and then it shows the bartender covering her drink with a napkin. Yep, and nobody touched her drink after that. Here's the official police statement. While video surveillance showed Tara Reid at the hotel bar, at no time did video show anyone tampering with or adding something to her drink. They also said, we can confirm that a bartender covered her drink when she left the bar, which is standard practice for bartenders to do this.
00:15:41
Speaker 3: This is exactly what we said, and we did an episode on this. This is exactly what we said at the time. They're going to be able to solve this and know of her drink was tampered with. Correct, There's a video at every bar I've ever been in, at every hotel Ella. This shouldn't have taken long. But what is her response? Her rep put out this statement saying, quote, bottom line is no one ends up in the hospital over eight hours after a drink, Now, sweetheart, that is true.
00:16:11
Speaker 2: That is true.
00:16:12
Speaker 3: That is true.
00:16:13
Speaker 2: We are missing some information.
00:16:15
Speaker 3: Yes we are police. I did like this. They put a positive spin on it. After all this, they say, hey, this is still a good reminder to never leave your drink unattended.
00:16:26
Speaker 1: And that is the silver lining. It is a reminder to all everyone, but especially I think I feel like most moms tell their daughters this period. It's one of the first things you say never. And that doesn't matter if you're drinking a diet coke or a club soda or an alcoholic drink.
00:16:40
Speaker 2: Do not leave your drink.
00:16:42
Speaker 3: I told you this L. R. Jackson Elementary going to school as a child, milk carton in the cafeteria. My mom would remind me, if you turn your back on it, don't drink it. As a child with a milk carton. Wow in elementary school. So yes, this is no word on charges. Possibly for we're talking about a false police report. If they believe she's not telling the truth. They say they're waiting for possible results of some kind from the hospital. Are we going to get more about it?
00:17:08
Speaker 2: And if we get that there was nothing.
00:17:11
Speaker 1: Look if they have a blood alcohol level, which I would think they would have taken, but we shall see. We don't know what test they took, if any, so we will keep you updated on that one. But for our last lug our final leg of our run Spotify wrapped, It is out.
00:17:28
Speaker 2: We heard from Sabine, twelve year old Sabine.
00:17:32
Speaker 1: Because I wouldn't tell her she so badly wanted us to or you to put up or to see what your rap was, you know, like babes are.
00:17:39
Speaker 2: We're saving it for the podcast.
00:17:40
Speaker 1: So she'll find out today the highly anticipated annual recap and reveal of the most popular artist on the streaming service.
00:17:50
Speaker 2: But it's the fun thing is it personalizes every year for you. You get to see and.
00:17:54
Speaker 1: It's usually shocking and it's funny. I think last year they gave you like a name, right, they told you you were. They gave you some sort of like you know, soft pop, you know, disco love and goal like, they gave you like some little funny thing. So every year they mix it up and do it a little bit differently. But you also get to hear what the other seven hundred million users are listening to.
00:18:18
Speaker 3: Who you're gonna guess your top artist is going to be?
00:18:23
Speaker 1: Wow, No, I have to have to put some thought into it. I don't because I am I have a very wide ranging palette.
00:18:30
Speaker 3: All right. So the most streamed artist of the year we talked about it is Bad Bunny. That's worldwide. So in the world, these were your most streamed artists. Bad Bunny number one, then Taylor Swift, The Weekend Drake, Billie Eilish, Kendrick Lamar, Bruno Mars, Ariana, Grande Dough Who I mean, there's no surprises in that list at all. These are the biggest stars in music on the planet now. The most streamed albums was Bad Bunnies was number one as well. Number two on the list Robes k Pop Demon Hunter's soundtrack. Wow, congratulations Netflix for what y'all did and pulling that all that was really impressive. The number three most streamed album in the world was Billy Oyos. Just hit me hard and soft, and then you should be pretty excited. Most streamed song that might be your number one, Die with a Smile.
00:19:11
Speaker 1: I played it at Nauseum this year, and so I am very excited. I think that is one of the Oh. I just love how that song makes me feel, and it's so good. Lady Gaga, Bruno, Mars, Birds of a Feather two, huge fan of that one.
00:19:27
Speaker 2: Play it all the time.
00:19:28
Speaker 3: So look at the difference there. You just gave us the most streamed song in the world, Die with a Smile, the most streamed song in the.
00:19:36
Speaker 1: US Birds of a Feather No author, Oh, Luther and I love that song.
00:19:42
Speaker 3: That might be those two. Probably you're one and two. I would guess yes, there are some little differences there. So we said the most streamed artist in the world was Bad Bunny. The most streamed artist us Bass, Taylor Swift, and then Drake and then Morgan Wallan, then Kendrick Clomar and then Bad Bunny.
00:20:04
Speaker 2: Wow.
00:20:05
Speaker 3: So this is always fun Spotify. I love your app, but this one thing you do a year has really turned into a cultural event that people anticipate for weeks.
00:20:15
Speaker 2: Where's Olivia Dean though she's she's.
00:20:17
Speaker 3: On my list? You know what that's gonna be on our life?
00:20:21
Speaker 1: That's gonna definitely I think that's gonna make mine because I listened to her constantly.
00:20:25
Speaker 3: Sorry, before we let you go, something we would like for you to consider it is our quote of the day for you today, Rollbock. Is this quote the past gives you an identity, the future holds the promise of salvation. Both are illusions. Isn't that the it to take me a second? I love this, but we do we look at our past and think this is who I am, or we're sitting here not liking who we are, thinking Wow, just in the future, I'm going to be able to right. But no, both of those are.
00:20:56
Speaker 1: I love this quorel I do too, because again, anything like that, it's empowering when you actually think about it, because you get to decide who you are right now. You don't have to be defined by your past, and you shouldn't assume that you're going to be something better or bigger in the future. It's what you are right now that counts.
00:21:12
Speaker 3: I love that well, Spolks, make today count for you, but take this quote with you. The past gives you an identity, the future holds the promise of salvation both our illusions. And with that, thank you as always for running with us. So I'm TJ.
00:21:24
Speaker 2: Hol and I'm Amy Robock. We'll talk to you real soon.

Number one artists in the World Die with a smile, Number one song totally agree in the world. I'm so I was a little surprised to see how much the list change when you look at the top global artists versus the top us artists.

Also on the run this morning, only one hostage remains in Gaza. Also Matthew Perry's doctor sentence, Gallaine Maxwell still trying to get out of jail. The New York Times sus Pete Hegseth a major shredded cheese, recall that inmate who escaped via uber has been recaptured, and a renewed effort to find Flight three seventy. Also this morning, Worldes will have an update on the story we were covering very closely about Tara Reid.

But the New York Times is suing the Pentagon over this, saying you are violating the constitutional rights of our journalists.
00:04:30
Speaker 1: Yes, because it goes against standard operating procedure. This is the practice of journalists who can't have the entity that you're reporting on give you a thumbs up or a thumb's done down on what you can report on. That completely totally upends what journalism is.
00:04:50
Speaker 3: So now the press room is essentially filled with the Pentagon, with a lot of conservative outlets, a lot of MAGA reporters that they will tell you and that's fine. He's given them press passes, but the rest of them turned them in because they wouldn't go on I'll be on board with this policy. It seemed that they were ported is going to fire. Heks No. I mean it seems like this guy can do no wrong in the eye, but he is seeing seemingly a hak like he's been a lot, even when he was first nominated, immediately there was a headache and finding out about this incident, and now these he's been scandal after scandal, and the big meeting with the generals that didn't necessarily go over that well.
00:05:25
Speaker 1: No it did not. Where he called the generals in the audience with him fat asses out of the pal I was just going to say, do I say the F word?
00:05:33
Speaker 2: Yes, but not the other F word. All right.
00:05:36
Speaker 1: Next up on the run, that Georgia inmate we told you about who escaped using an uber, Well he has been recaptured. We're talking about fifty two year old Timothy Shane. We were told he was and we should consider him armed and dangerous. He was captured just outside of Atlanta, in the city of Covington. This is interesting how he was caught or recaptured. Police got reports he was knocking on doors.
00:06:03
Speaker 3: He was probably trying to get in some Yeah, he's looking for shelter, looking to get inside. I mean, what's the weather in Atlanta even right now. I mean he's looking for somewhere to go. And they called and here he is. They ended up tracking him down. Still don't know how he got the uber robes up. Obviously you need a phone or somebody's phone. Did he have one? Who knows? But he got an uber. So the story was he was originally taken into custody last month. He had led police on this chase. Now after he was transferred to a hospital, that's when he escaped. Now he was transferred to the hospital because of a suicide attempt. He walked out of the hospital one third in the morning on Monday, stolen suv crass. The suv fled on foot again and called an uber which picked him up.
00:06:42
Speaker 1: Yes, we don't know how he got I was thinking maybe someone who's the Maybe the suv he stole had had a cell phone in it or a car phone in it.
00:06:51
Speaker 2: I don't know how he was able to call it.
00:06:53
Speaker 3: It had a gun in it and it was missing. So that's why they were saying this isn't armed and dangerous guy.
00:06:57
Speaker 1: Ah okay, but here's the deal. Police say he staged to suicide attempt. So here's the interesting thing. If that's true, Clearly he's planning his escape. He didn't have a lot of planning though on the other side of things, and that's what did him.
00:07:11
Speaker 3: Meant, Hey, maybe he subscribed to the theory one step at a time. Don't want to get it out far out where to go figure out the rest. We'll see how that turned out, all right.
00:07:20
Speaker 1: Next up on the Run, the doctor who sold ketamine to actor Matthew Perry was sentenced yesterday. He was given a two and a half year prison sentence.
00:07:30
Speaker 3: Yes, Salvador Place Sinc. The forty four years old not accused of selling the fatal dose to Matthew Perry, but sold him large amounts in the week's leading up to his death. The judge did acknowledge that point rogues in court yesterday, but said, yes, even though you didn't give him the fatal dose quote, you helped him on his road to his death.
00:07:49
Speaker 2: Wow.
00:07:49
Speaker 3: Essentially. Also, there's a fine two years probation. Perry died October of twenty twenty three of an overdose, and again a reminder. He had been prescribed ketamine, they say, and he just wanted to larger doses and found somebody you'd give it to them.
00:08:02
Speaker 2: Two and a half years behind bars.
00:08:04
Speaker 1: I believe the prosecution was asking for three, his defense team was asking for zero.
00:08:08
Speaker 2: So he got two and a half years.
00:08:10
Speaker 3: He's the first of five people who were charged. I think everybody pled guilty, but he's the first to be sentenced.
00:08:15
Speaker 2: All right, Next up on the run. This is a very positive story.
00:08:19
Speaker 1: Just one hostage remains to be handed over from Hamas to Israel, and Hamas has been returning all of the living hostages as well as the remains of hostages over the past couple of weeks. This is all part of that first phase of the ceasefire Planet seemed so shaky initially, but has been going along smoothly. I mean, no news is good news, it seems in this particular.
00:08:44
Speaker 3: Story because we had questions. There were a couple of moments where bodies were handed over and they checked, say, hey, this isn't an Israeli, this is not a hostage. And then remember they staged a body being found they thought as well. So it's been a back and forth. So as we sit here now only one hostage remains and that is in a Israeli police officer. This last person that was identified was a Thai agricultural worker but has been returned. Those they made a positive identification, and nice to hear they contacted the family so they're aware as well that their family member has been found.
00:09:15
Speaker 2: Yeah, that has to give some peace to those families.
00:09:18
Speaker 3: Right, continuing on the run here now on this Thursday morning, a huge recall of shredded cheese and this stuff was sold in at least thirty one states.
00:09:26
Speaker 1: Okay, this is really scary because we use it, at least I use shredded cheese quite a bit. But guess what could be inside this shredded cheese? This makes my Yeah, oh, this makes me just recoil potential metal fragments.
00:09:42
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh. So yeah, they can cut your mouth, your tongue, your throat. Ah.
00:09:49
Speaker 1: Two hundred and sixty thousand cases have been recalled. This is the Great Lake's Cheese company.
00:09:54
Speaker 3: You know the name.
00:09:55
Speaker 1: No, that's not one that I typically purchased, but you can find that brand.
00:10:02
Speaker 2: Store brands actually Target Walmart.
00:10:04
Speaker 1: So this company makes the cheese and then it's repackaged, re branded with Target and Walmart.
00:10:10
Speaker 2: We don't usually get.
00:10:10
Speaker 1: Our food from Target to Walmart, but for those of you who do, please a heads up. That is not something you want to find the hard way. But you can go to the FDA website for the specifics as to which packages are recalled. But certainly if you got shredded cheese you shop at Target Walmart, you should check it out.
00:10:28
Speaker 3: And sorry, we don't. We didn't put it all in here like we wanted to give the lot number on it's so much and all over the place, we just can't break it down here. But folks, you need to check the FDA website and they say metal fragments. We didn't get explanation of what and how and whatever. But that's that's scary to thing continuing on the run here now this is you know, I was, I was happy to see that they are continuing this effort. Robes a renewed effort now to find Malaysia Air Flight three seventy. You'll remember that name well right. Flight three seventy disappeared with out a trace back in twenty fourteen, had two hundred and thirty nine people on board. It was going from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing at the time, and rode with the big mystery once they started figuring out it was going along its path right on radar, made a hard turn south, nobody knows why, and then just disappeared.
00:11:18
Speaker 2: Right.
00:11:19
Speaker 1: I think the last thing it said was good night as they were crossing over into Vietnamese airspace, never to be seen or heard from again.
00:11:28
Speaker 2: So the Malaysian government.
00:11:30
Speaker 1: Just announced that that search is now going to resume on December thirtieth. They've contracted a US based marine robotics company, it's called Ocean Infinity to take up the search. But here's the interesting thing about this. So the search resumes December thirtieth, they have fifty five days to see what they can find. If they can't find the plane, there's no money, you just they have to eat it. But if they find the plane, seventy million.
00:11:58
Speaker 3: Dollars, it's motivating.
00:12:00
Speaker 1: Yes, there's a fifty eight hundred square mile search area. This is basically the size of Connecticut to give you an idea.
00:12:06
Speaker 2: But the ocean is deep. You imagine that in that area, and who knows.
00:12:10
Speaker 1: What tides and like I can't even It's been almost eleven years since the flight went down. So that is a huge undertaking with a potential huge windfall.
00:12:22
Speaker 3: I'm glad to see they're staying with this. That would love that mystery needs to be solved. All right, continuing on the run here, now, guess who's trying to get out of jail? Well you were probably You know what if I say that, folks will say what? Yes, after I said it, I said, wait a.
00:12:35
Speaker 2: Minute, Gilaine Maxwell would be the next guest.
00:12:37
Speaker 3: That's what we're talking about.
00:12:38
Speaker 1: Now.
00:12:38
Speaker 3: She's trying again to get out of jail. New court filing. She has put the court on notice that she plans to petition a judge for her release from prison, and.
00:12:48
Speaker 1: Her filing comes in response to a DOJ request to release those grand jury transcripts from Maxwell's case.
00:12:55
Speaker 3: This is all a mess. This is connected to Epstein and them trying to get Epstein files out.
00:13:00
Speaker 2: Then yeah, and here's the deal.
00:13:01
Speaker 1: She doesn't want them released. So that's part of this back and forth. The Supreme Court has already told her you ain't getting out of prison.
00:13:11
Speaker 2: All of her appeals have been exhausted.
00:13:13
Speaker 1: She's serving a twenty year sentence because she was convicted of five counts, all related to sex trafficking of minors. So it's not clear right now what grounds she's going to argue for her release. But here's the deal. She's doing this pro se. She's representing herself. So I mean, look, a lot of inmates tend to get very legally wise because they have to and they have time, and they have they have nothing but time.
00:13:41
Speaker 2: So we'll see how her legal skills add up.
00:13:45
Speaker 3: All right, We'll stay with us, folks on this Friday Eve run. When we come back. Police have now chimed in on the Terror Reid allegation that she was drugged at a hotel bar in Chicago. Their response is just didn't happen. Also, Spotify Wrapped is out. Sure, Bad Bunny is the number one streaming artist in the world, but he's barely even in the top five streaming artists in the US. Continuing now on this Thursday morning, run and No, Tara Reid was not drugged, at least that's what police are saying. They say they have no evidence that the actress was drugged. We've talked about this. The incident happened last month at a DoubleTree hotel at near O'Hare International Airport in Chicago. Now, she claimed Robes at the time that she was drugged. She was giving a response. She gave a little interview to TMZ as well, because there was video out that if anybody had seen the video, you would say, Wow, that person, whoever she is, is flat stone black, drunk, wasted, Yes is what you would Sorry, that's the way to summon up.
00:15:03
Speaker 1: Yes, she looked wasted. She claims she only had one glass of white wine. So police say they reviewed the surveillance video from that hotel, which shows, yeah, she got it from the bar, as she said she did, to go smoke a cigarette, and then it shows the bartender covering her drink with a napkin. Yep, and nobody touched her drink after that. Here's the official police statement. While video surveillance showed Tara Reid at the hotel bar, at no time did video show anyone tampering with or adding something to her drink. They also said, we can confirm that a bartender covered her drink when she left the bar, which is standard practice for bartenders to do this.
00:15:41
Speaker 3: This is exactly what we said, and we did an episode on this. This is exactly what we said at the time. They're going to be able to solve this and know of her drink was tampered with. Correct, There's a video at every bar I've ever been in, at every hotel Ella. This shouldn't have taken long. But what is her response? Her rep put out this statement saying, quote, bottom line is no one ends up in the hospital over eight hours after a drink, Now, sweetheart, that is true.
00:16:11
Speaker 2: That is true.
00:16:12
Speaker 3: That is true.
00:16:13
Speaker 2: We are missing some information.
00:16:15
Speaker 3: Yes we are police. I did like this. They put a positive spin on it. After all this, they say, hey, this is still a good reminder to never leave your drink unattended.
00:16:26
Speaker 1: And that is the silver lining. It is a reminder to all everyone, but especially I think I feel like most moms tell their daughters this period. It's one of the first things you say never. And that doesn't matter if you're drinking a diet coke or a club soda or an alcoholic drink.
00:16:40
Speaker 2: Do not leave your drink.
00:16:42
Speaker 3: I told you this L. R. Jackson Elementary going to school as a child, milk carton in the cafeteria. My mom would remind me, if you turn your back on it, don't drink it. As a child with a milk carton. Wow in elementary school. So yes, this is no word on charges. Possibly for we're talking about a false police report. If they believe she's not telling the truth. They say they're waiting for possible results of some kind from the hospital. Are we going to get more about it?
00:17:08
Speaker 2: And if we get that there was nothing.
00:17:11
Speaker 1: Look if they have a blood alcohol level, which I would think they would have taken, but we shall see. We don't know what test they took, if any, so we will keep you updated on that one. But for our last lug our final leg of our run Spotify wrapped, It is out.
00:17:28
Speaker 2: We heard from Sabine, twelve year old Sabine.
00:17:32
Speaker 1: Because I wouldn't tell her she so badly wanted us to or you to put up or to see what your rap was, you know, like babes are.
00:17:39
Speaker 2: We're saving it for the podcast.
00:17:40
Speaker 1: So she'll find out today the highly anticipated annual recap and reveal of the most popular artist on the streaming service.
00:17:50
Speaker 2: But it's the fun thing is it personalizes every year for you. You get to see and.
00:17:54
Speaker 1: It's usually shocking and it's funny. I think last year they gave you like a name, right, they told you you were. They gave you some sort of like you know, soft pop, you know, disco love and goal like, they gave you like some little funny thing. So every year they mix it up and do it a little bit differently. But you also get to hear what the other seven hundred million users are listening to.
00:18:18
Speaker 3: Who you're gonna guess your top artist is going to be?
00:18:23
Speaker 1: Wow, No, I have to have to put some thought into it. I don't because I am I have a very wide ranging palette.
00:18:30
Speaker 3: All right. So the most streamed artist of the year we talked about it is Bad Bunny. That's worldwide. So in the world, these were your most streamed artists. Bad Bunny number one, then Taylor Swift, The Weekend Drake, Billie Eilish, Kendrick Lamar, Bruno Mars, Ariana, Grande Dough Who I mean, there's no surprises in that list at all. These are the biggest stars in music on the planet now. The most streamed albums was Bad Bunnies was number one as well. Number two on the list Robes k Pop Demon Hunter's soundtrack. Wow, congratulations Netflix for what y'all did and pulling that all that was really impressive. The number three most streamed album in the world was Billy Oyos. Just hit me hard and soft, and then you should be pretty excited. Most streamed song that might be your number one, Die with a Smile.
00:19:11
Speaker 1: I played it at Nauseum this year, and so I am very excited. I think that is one of the Oh. I just love how that song makes me feel, and it's so good. Lady Gaga, Bruno, Mars, Birds of a Feather two, huge fan of that one.
00:19:27
Speaker 2: Play it all the time.
00:19:28
Speaker 3: So look at the difference there. You just gave us the most streamed song in the world, Die with a Smile, the most streamed song in the.
00:19:36
Speaker 1: US Birds of a Feather No author, Oh, Luther and I love that song.
00:19:42
Speaker 3: That might be those two. Probably you're one and two. I would guess yes, there are some little differences there. So we said the most streamed artist in the world was Bad Bunny. The most streamed artist us Bass, Taylor Swift, and then Drake and then Morgan Wallan, then Kendrick Clomar and then Bad Bunny.
00:20:04
Speaker 2: Wow.
00:20:05
Speaker 3: So this is always fun Spotify. I love your app, but this one thing you do a year has really turned into a cultural event that people anticipate for weeks.
00:20:15
Speaker 2: Where's Olivia Dean though she's she's.
00:20:17
Speaker 3: On my list? You know what that's gonna be on our life?
00:20:21
Speaker 1: That's gonna definitely I think that's gonna make mine because I listened to her constantly.
00:20:25
Speaker 3: Sorry, before we let you go, something we would like for you to consider it is our quote of the day for you today, Rollbock. Is this quote the past gives you an identity, the future holds the promise of salvation. Both are illusions. Isn't that the it to take me a second? I love this, but we do we look at our past and think this is who I am, or we're sitting here not liking who we are, thinking Wow, just in the future, I'm going to be able to right. But no, both of those are.
00:20:56
Speaker 1: I love this quorel I do too, because again, anything like that, it's empowering when you actually think about it, because you get to decide who you are right now. You don't have to be defined by your past, and you shouldn't assume that you're going to be something better or bigger in the future. It's what you are right now that counts.
00:21:12
Speaker 3: I love that well, Spolks, make today count for you, but take this quote with you. The past gives you an identity, the future holds the promise of salvation both our illusions. And with that, thank you as always for running with us. So I'm TJ.
00:21:24
Speaker 2: Hol and I'm Amy Robock. We'll talk to you real soon.
