Speaker 1: Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast.
00:00:05
Speaker 2: Good morning everyone, and welcome to Morning Run. It is for Friday, April tenth.
00:00:10
Speaker 3: I'm Amy Robots and I'm TJ Holmes.
00:00:12
Speaker 4: You want to tell the people Robes what we were We were singing right before we came on.
00:00:15
Speaker 1: We are just you know, it's good to get out of New York. We are in Arkansas right now, Amy and TJ on the road, and it's.
00:00:21
Speaker 4: Been good for our energy.
00:00:23
Speaker 3: It has.
00:00:23
Speaker 2: We were just singing to the Jonas Brothers, Yes and waving at college students walking by. What's not to love? It's going to be seventy nine degrees and Sunday today. Sometimes it just works out.
00:00:34
Speaker 1: Oh, this is wonderful today. But good to be here at Arkansas or wherever you are. Hope you are having a good start to your morning. This is Friday, and this is a very very important weekend. This weekend in Pakistan, we are sending our number two, the Vice.
00:00:51
Speaker 4: President is on his way Robes again.
00:00:53
Speaker 1: This is a high stakes weekend of negotiations and this is where we'll start this morning on the run.
00:00:57
Speaker 2: That's right, and Jadvance will lead the US delegation that is now going to try to negotiate an end to the war with Iran. See Witkoff will be there, Jared Kushner will be there along as well, to try and get this ceasefire official. Because the back and forth and what they said, what we said, what we've agreed to, what we haven't, it's all beyond confusing. So those talks are supposed to happen on Saturday.
00:01:23
Speaker 1: And missiles have continued to fly from Israel into Lebanon in particular, and that is a sticking point those talks. Really, we all know they can't come soon enough. Everybody's been looking forward into this war, including the President of course, because these talks now could finally give us some clarity on who is doing the talking for Iran and what is in that ten point ceasefire plan ropes. There's been confusion and a war of words over what's in this ten point plan. Iranians are saying one thing, the President is saying absolutely not. President's also saying the straight up horor moves has to be opened for this ceasefire. Auran says, yep, we'll charge you and our military has to escort you.
00:02:01
Speaker 4: Don't know what's going.
00:02:01
Speaker 2: On, Yeah, And We just keep seeing basically news outlets all day long putting up the map of the Straight of Horror moves and you just can see that literally no ships are getting through. So that's been a constant through line of this story. But next up on the run, also constant, we have reports about problems in our economy, certainly stemming from this situation in Iran, with the gas prices up, and now we've got a new inflation report out this morning. The prices went up three point three percent in March. That is the biggest jump in prices we've seen in two years, and it is all.
00:02:36
Speaker 1: Driven mostly by this war in Iran. It has to do with your energy prices. Those costs are going up, so everything related to anything related to that's a car, that's your plane ticket, that's all this stuff is related.
00:02:48
Speaker 4: So yes, you are.
00:02:49
Speaker 1: Paying more because of the war in Iran. Continuing here on the run, Did the President know or not? Robes We were debating about this yesterday and a lot of people jaws were dropped and scratching their heads.
00:03:00
Speaker 4: Malania Trump makes an announcement.
00:03:03
Speaker 1: Excuse me, she makes the announcement that she's going to make an announcement, but didn't tell us what the announcement was going to be about.
00:03:07
Speaker 4: And now we.
00:03:08
Speaker 1: Don't know, Robes if the President did he know she was going to come out and talk about Epstein yesterday or not?
00:03:14
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, NBC is reporting that Trump said he did not know ahead of time what Malania was going to be speaking on. Of course, she was trying to distance herself from Jeffrey Epstein and try to put to bed some rumors that have been out there that really we've talked about, that we haven't really heard percolating.
00:03:32
Speaker 3: But apparently she was sensitive to them.
00:03:34
Speaker 1: She felt strongly about it, and really, Robes, she hasn't I mean, the president has been speaking. This was the first time she got to speak for herself on her own behalf about this Epstein story. Maybe she just wanted to get ahead and say on the record, I had nothing to do with this guy.
00:03:49
Speaker 4: Maybe that was it. The timing seems buzzo.
00:03:52
Speaker 2: It was a head scratcher, in fact, if you want to, well, look, we did have some fun with it, but I think it's an episode a couple episodes back, but we went fully into discussing our theories about why Malania Trump may have chosen now to make this announcement and why she chose the subject matter all together. So if you want to check that out, please please, we would encourage you to do so. But next up on the run, Sean Diddy Combs is on standby right now for possibly getting out of prison.
00:04:22
Speaker 1: Well, this isn't just another random hearing. This is just isn't another court filing. He had a hearing yesterday. He wasn't present, but his lawyers were in there arguing that he should be getting out of prison. They're arguing his sentence, which was fifty months, right, Yes, fifty months, was too harsh, and they're asking the judges to either acquit him, set him free, or at least order his trial judge to re sentence him. That judge, of course, that trial was last July. He was found guilty of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. And the argument there is robes he was sentenced too harshly for the things he was convicted of, And the judge, however, even said I hear you, but I can consider some of his other bad acts as I decide to sentence him.
00:05:10
Speaker 4: And that is the key part of the appeal.
00:05:12
Speaker 2: And so this decision by this three panel judge. It's a three three judge panel. Sye, I've screwed that up, three panel judge, I said, a three panel judge, and I couldn't work my way out of that sentence. Yahtu, three uge, three judge panel. But yes, whatever they decide, we'll certainly have significant implications in court cases going forward about what the leeway judges have when it comes to sentencing.
00:05:39
Speaker 1: Well, continuing on this run here on this Friday, this is going to be a one of the best homecomings you will ever see. And it's happening tonight at precisely eighth seven pm.
00:05:51
Speaker 3: Robes.
00:05:51
Speaker 4: I don't like the words splash down. That's what they use.
00:05:54
Speaker 3: They always say that what artem is this coming back?
00:05:56
Speaker 4: And you can't gently land on the water.
00:05:58
Speaker 2: I guess so it is a splash You got a splash down. But you know what I have to say, time flew. I feel like they just took off. How are they already coming back to Earth? I bet it felt the same way for them to do.
00:06:08
Speaker 4: I have this right because I thought the same thing. I'm looking white.
00:06:10
Speaker 3: Wow, really ten days, many days have already gone by.
00:06:13
Speaker 4: Maybe I'm questioning myself. Yeah, they've went back today.
00:06:17
Speaker 3: That's I know. I actually did the same thing. That's so funny. We haven't discussed it.
00:06:20
Speaker 2: I was surprised and shocked that it's already time to come home.
00:06:24
Speaker 1: But we have been watching them, yes, the past ten days after this journey. They have this thing so down to the precise moment that is going to start re entering. And of course this is you know what I think many of them will tell you, scientists, astronauts. This is the trickiest and most dangerous, riskiest part of the entire mission re entry, re entry, and it's going to be a short period of time.
00:06:44
Speaker 4: Robes, once again, are always scary as hell. They're going to be in a communication blackout.
00:06:48
Speaker 2: Yes, and this is I believe the same aircraft that had an issue with its heat shield coming in. So this is going to be a little bit more intense, I would imagine, just as a viewer watching the because we can all, yes, watch along. But it certainly is a little scarier coming back down to Earth rather than lifting off.
00:07:08
Speaker 4: But yes, this is how precise it was.
00:07:10
Speaker 1: I was in press ropes that the parachutes that are gonna bring them down, they are going to deploy at eight oh three, like they have it down precisely eight o.
00:07:19
Speaker 4: Three, and then they touchdown splash down at eight o seven.
00:07:21
Speaker 1: Need to let you know, is going to be off the coast of California, San Diego in particular, and to the Pacific Ocean. This is wonderful. Netflix already has a live event bug up and you can watch this. But this is going to be fun to watch. These are going to be heroes and pioneers the likes of which we're not used to seeing ropes. These are people we studied about. These are people you hear about great explorers. They are four people who have been somewhere that no human being in history.
00:07:48
Speaker 4: Has ever been to.
00:07:48
Speaker 3: That's remarkable, that is, and there's more to come.
00:07:50
Speaker 2: They are setting up the next crew to go even further and to eventually yes, have a base on the Moon.
00:07:57
Speaker 1: All right, well stay with us here on this Friday mon run when we come back, folks.
00:08:01
Speaker 4: Oh, yes, the Masters is going on. Have you been paying attention?
00:08:04
Speaker 1: Also the Tony Awards, their ceremony is coming up this summer and they have just picked a host that had a lot of people scratching their heads. And then we said oh, that makes perfect sense. And then we said, well, I guess we'll watch this year. Also, folks, listen up, you need to get married. If you don't, you are putting your health and your life at risk.
00:08:30
Speaker 4: And you will not believe how much. So stare we continue here on this Friday morning run.
00:08:44
Speaker 1: We got a little party we're hosting today here in Fayeville, Arkansas, at the House, and we've already said gonna have the Masters on in the background. Yes, the Masters continues today. It did kick off yesterday. Always a big deal. But an American Sam Burns is that the top of the leaderboard at five under Rory McElroy tied at the top as well. If you don't know Sam Burns, a lot of people do watch golf and know him, and that's one thing. But a lot of people robes know Rory McElroy. Always fun to see him at the top of a leader board.
00:09:14
Speaker 3: Always fun to see.
00:09:15
Speaker 2: And you know what, I'm excited to see the Tony Awards this year because one of our absolute favorite artists, Pink, has just been announced as this year's host. It will happen June seventh, Radio City Music Hall. But it was a head scratcher for a lot of folks, or at least a surprise, because the Tony host is often a Broadway star or a veteran. Last year it was Cynthia or Rivo, so that makes a lot of sense. But look, Pink, I didn't think about this. Two of her songs are part of shows running on Broadway right now, and of course my favorite Mulan rouge Raise Your Glass is a song in there. And then she also has something in a Juliette, So she's We've got two of her songs right now being sung by Broadway artists on the Great White Way.
00:10:06
Speaker 1: I said, head scratcher, it's not after you heard it. It was just that they don't usually do this. Why would they do this? Obviously, every award show complains every year about what their ratings going down, So how can you get people engaged and involved? So when was the last time you watched a Tony Awards.
00:10:24
Speaker 2: It's been a while, there you go, I can't remember the last time I watched. I love seeing which musical One, but it's never been known for being an entertaining award show, to the point where I would say this is mussy television. But maybe I've just been missing it. Maybe I just haven't been called to watch because I do love all the music.
00:10:43
Speaker 4: But we don't end up going.
00:10:44
Speaker 1: We don't keep up with new musicals and new shows the way we might just go see movies every years.
00:10:50
Speaker 4: So this is I'm glad they have her.
00:10:52
Speaker 1: I hope she performs that night, and quite right, I'm not used to seeing her host things. I'm used to her performing in a major way. I would love to see how she happened.
00:10:58
Speaker 2: She's outspoken, she's not afraid to speak her mind, so it should be a good one.
00:11:03
Speaker 3: And finally, on the run, this is one.
00:11:06
Speaker 2: I think this is absolutely my favorite story of the day because it shocked me, but then it kind of makes sense when you understand it. The headline is everybody get married, and if you don't, it could be detrimental to your health in that people who never marry have a significantly higher risk of developing cancer.
00:11:30
Speaker 1: I question the number. It's so nuts that I questioned it. But check this out, folks.
00:11:36
Speaker 2: Okay, they said that if you aren't married and you're a man, you have a sixty eight percent higher risk of developing cancer in your lifetime. But you think that's a high number. Wait, I have chills when you think about or you hear what they say. The risk is for women. If women are unmarried, they have an eighty five percent higher risk of developing cancer.
00:12:00
Speaker 3: How is that possible?
00:12:03
Speaker 1: Okay, there are answers and responses to that. Now we say the risks are those number. It's across the board for every cancer, across the board. You are better off getting married, now, roapes, you said once they start looking into the whys, it made sense once they explain it.
00:12:21
Speaker 2: Uh. Yes, because they say when you are in a when you're in a couple or in a marriage, you are less likely. You're more likely to have healthier habits, You're more likely to run, you're less likely to smoke, you tend to consume less alcohol. You have increased social support because you're typically in a community where you've got other couples and people are there to help. And so it does encourage cancer screenings and taking and making and keeping doctor appointments because you have your other spouse nudging you and reminding you, and so all of that makes sense. And for women, they say, if you aren't married, you're less likely to have a child. Correct, So if you're less likely to have a child. That absolutely increases risks of cancer like ovarian cancer and a metrial cancer.
00:13:09
Speaker 3: So we've heard this.
00:13:10
Speaker 2: I think women who have gone to their doctors know that if you choose not to have a child, you are at greater risk of certain cancers. And so I guess when you put all of that together, it makes sense. But it is a shocking number.
00:13:21
Speaker 4: Did they mention anything financial?
00:13:22
Speaker 1: I mean, you usually have a household and have better outcomes if it's yeah, two people in nou.
00:13:28
Speaker 2: Yes, part of all of that is and those are the types of things that make sense, because yes, when you have support, when you have better finances, when you just have a better community around you, you tend to take care of yourself more and have the ability to do so.
00:13:42
Speaker 1: The one thing I saw and I just shook my head and smirked, the highest disparity They found black men the highest number that if you black men don't get married, you will have the greatest disparity against those men who actually did get married when it comes to cancer risk.
00:13:59
Speaker 3: Wow, is crazy.
00:14:01
Speaker 1: I think we're going to do a full rest episode on this this weekend. But there's a lot in there, and it's worth talking about and it's why we want to always be married, stay married.
00:14:11
Speaker 2: I didn't say that you couldn't get married multiple times. You needed to be married. Oh, where's my phone, babe?
00:14:18
Speaker 4: Here we go again. The time for your quote of the day.
00:14:22
Speaker 2: It's a short one and I should have been able to memorize it, but somehow, in the moment and the pressure of it all, I could not remember. So here is your quote of the day for this Friday. You're getting close. That's why it's tough, Okay. I liked it because I think some of us you start to push, push, push, whether it's your job, your career, your relationship, whatever it is, whatever goal you have, even honestly, running a marathon, when you get close to the finish line, it's the hardest.
00:14:55
Speaker 3: I don't know why, that's what it is.
00:14:57
Speaker 2: And it is the time when a lot of people quit, when they just say I can't do it anymore, it's too hard.
00:15:02
Speaker 3: And I just wanted I.
00:15:04
Speaker 2: Just thought that that was such an encouraging, short, simple but powerful statement.
00:15:09
Speaker 4: And that's the thing that most people usually don't fail. They just quit.
00:15:15
Speaker 1: They stopped trying before and didn't even see how close they were to success.
00:15:20
Speaker 4: That makes sense.
00:15:20
Speaker 1: That was a short and sweet way to put it, and I was trying to piece it together when you first said it, and then when you made a running analogy, I was like, a.
00:15:26
Speaker 2: You know, the last two miles before a finish line are the hardest two miles. I would even think this applies so much to relationships too, because just when it starts to get so hard, you give up. It's too painful. But the point is, I've always believed breakdowns lead to breakthroughs, and I've always believed, you know, when you can push yourself past the pain and really focus on what your goal is, what you want, you can keep that in mind. You can manage pain. You can push through it because getting to the other side, getting to the finish line, it is worth it. So you're getting close. That's why it's getting tough. And with that, everyone, thank you for running with us. I made me robots and I'm t J. Holmes always appreciate you.
Speaker 1: Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast.
00:00:05

00:06:10
Speaker 3: Wow, really ten days, many days have already gone by.
00:06:13
Speaker 4: Maybe I'm questioning myself. Yeah, they've went back today.
00:06:17
Speaker 3: That's I know. I actually did the same thing. That's so funny. We haven't discussed it.
00:06:20
Speaker 2: I was surprised and shocked that it's already time to come home.

00:07:10
Speaker 1: I was in press ropes that the parachutes that are gonna bring them down, they are going to deploy at eight oh three, like they have it down precisely eight o.
00:07:19
Speaker 4: Three, and then they touchdown splash down at eight o seven.
00:07:21
Speaker 1: Need to let you know, is going to be off the coast of California, San Diego in particular, and to the Pacific Ocean. This is wonderful. Netflix already has a live event bug up and you can watch this. But this is going to be fun to watch. These are going to be heroes and pioneers the likes of which we're not used to seeing ropes. These are people we studied about. These are people you hear about great explorers. They are four people who have been somewhere that no human being in history.
00:07:48
Speaker 4: Has ever been to.
00:07:48
Speaker 3: That's remarkable, that is, and there's more to come.
00:07:50
Speaker 2: They are setting up the next crew to go even further and to eventually yes, have a base on the Moon.
00:07:57
Speaker 1: All right, well stay with us here on this Friday mon run when we come back, folks.
00:08:01
Speaker 4: Oh, yes, the Masters is going on. Have you been paying attention?
00:08:04
Speaker 1: Also the Tony Awards, their ceremony is coming up this summer and they have just picked a host that had a lot of people scratching their heads. And then we said oh, that makes perfect sense. And then we said, well, I guess we'll watch this year. Also, folks, listen up, you need to get married. If you don't, you are putting your health and your life at risk.
00:08:30
Speaker 4: And you will not believe how much. So stare we continue here on this Friday morning run.
00:08:44
Speaker 1: We got a little party we're hosting today here in Fayeville, Arkansas, at the House, and we've already said gonna have the Masters on in the background. Yes, the Masters continues today. It did kick off yesterday. Always a big deal. But an American Sam Burns is that the top of the leaderboard at five under Rory McElroy tied at the top as well. If you don't know Sam Burns, a lot of people do watch golf and know him, and that's one thing. But a lot of people robes know Rory McElroy. Always fun to see him at the top of a leader board.
00:09:14
Speaker 3: Always fun to see.
00:09:15
Speaker 2: And you know what, I'm excited to see the Tony Awards this year because one of our absolute favorite artists, Pink, has just been announced as this year's host. It will happen June seventh, Radio City Music Hall. But it was a head scratcher for a lot of folks, or at least a surprise, because the Tony host is often a Broadway star or a veteran. Last year it was Cynthia or Rivo, so that makes a lot of sense. But look, Pink, I didn't think about this. Two of her songs are part of shows running on Broadway right now, and of course my favorite Mulan rouge Raise Your Glass is a song in there. And then she also has something in a Juliette, So she's We've got two of her songs right now being sung by Broadway artists on the Great White Way.
00:10:06
Speaker 1: I said, head scratcher, it's not after you heard it. It was just that they don't usually do this. Why would they do this? Obviously, every award show complains every year about what their ratings going down, So how can you get people engaged and involved? So when was the last time you watched a Tony Awards.
00:10:24
Speaker 2: It's been a while, there you go, I can't remember the last time I watched. I love seeing which musical One, but it's never been known for being an entertaining award show, to the point where I would say this is mussy television. But maybe I've just been missing it. Maybe I just haven't been called to watch because I do love all the music.
00:10:43
Speaker 4: But we don't end up going.
00:10:44
Speaker 1: We don't keep up with new musicals and new shows the way we might just go see movies every years.
00:10:50
Speaker 4: So this is I'm glad they have her.
00:10:52
Speaker 1: I hope she performs that night, and quite right, I'm not used to seeing her host things. I'm used to her performing in a major way. I would love to see how she happened.
00:10:58
Speaker 2: She's outspoken, she's not afraid to speak her mind, so it should be a good one.
00:11:03
Speaker 3: And finally, on the run, this is one.
00:11:06
Speaker 2: I think this is absolutely my favorite story of the day because it shocked me, but then it kind of makes sense when you understand it. The headline is everybody get married, and if you don't, it could be detrimental to your health in that people who never marry have a significantly higher risk of developing cancer.
00:11:30
Speaker 1: I question the number. It's so nuts that I questioned it. But check this out, folks.
00:11:36
Speaker 2: Okay, they said that if you aren't married and you're a man, you have a sixty eight percent higher risk of developing cancer in your lifetime. But you think that's a high number. Wait, I have chills when you think about or you hear what they say. The risk is for women. If women are unmarried, they have an eighty five percent higher risk of developing cancer.
00:12:00
Speaker 3: How is that possible?
00:12:03
Speaker 1: Okay, there are answers and responses to that. Now we say the risks are those number. It's across the board for every cancer, across the board. You are better off getting married, now, roapes, you said once they start looking into the whys, it made sense once they explain it.
00:12:21
Speaker 2: Uh. Yes, because they say when you are in a when you're in a couple or in a marriage, you are less likely. You're more likely to have healthier habits, You're more likely to run, you're less likely to smoke, you tend to consume less alcohol. You have increased social support because you're typically in a community where you've got other couples and people are there to help. And so it does encourage cancer screenings and taking and making and keeping doctor appointments because you have your other spouse nudging you and reminding you, and so all of that makes sense. And for women, they say, if you aren't married, you're less likely to have a child. Correct, So if you're less likely to have a child. That absolutely increases risks of cancer like ovarian cancer and a metrial cancer.
00:13:09
Speaker 3: So we've heard this.
00:13:10
Speaker 2: I think women who have gone to their doctors know that if you choose not to have a child, you are at greater risk of certain cancers. And so I guess when you put all of that together, it makes sense. But it is a shocking number.
00:13:21
Speaker 4: Did they mention anything financial?
00:13:22
Speaker 1: I mean, you usually have a household and have better outcomes if it's yeah, two people in nou.
00:13:28
Speaker 2: Yes, part of all of that is and those are the types of things that make sense, because yes, when you have support, when you have better finances, when you just have a better community around you, you tend to take care of yourself more and have the ability to do so.
00:13:42
Speaker 1: The one thing I saw and I just shook my head and smirked, the highest disparity They found black men the highest number that if you black men don't get married, you will have the greatest disparity against those men who actually did get married when it comes to cancer risk.
00:13:59
Speaker 3: Wow, is crazy.
00:14:01
Speaker 1: I think we're going to do a full rest episode on this this weekend. But there's a lot in there, and it's worth talking about and it's why we want to always be married, stay married.
00:14:11
Speaker 2: I didn't say that you couldn't get married multiple times. You needed to be married. Oh, where's my phone, babe?
00:14:18
Speaker 4: Here we go again. The time for your quote of the day.
00:14:22
Speaker 2: It's a short one and I should have been able to memorize it, but somehow, in the moment and the pressure of it all, I could not remember. So here is your quote of the day for this Friday. You're getting close. That's why it's tough, Okay. I liked it because I think some of us you start to push, push, push, whether it's your job, your career, your relationship, whatever it is, whatever goal you have, even honestly, running a marathon, when you get close to the finish line, it's the hardest.
00:14:55
Speaker 3: I don't know why, that's what it is.
00:14:57
Speaker 2: And it is the time when a lot of people quit, when they just say I can't do it anymore, it's too hard.
00:15:02
Speaker 3: And I just wanted I.
00:15:04
Speaker 2: Just thought that that was such an encouraging, short, simple but powerful statement.
00:15:09
Speaker 4: And that's the thing that most people usually don't fail. They just quit.
00:15:15
Speaker 1: They stopped trying before and didn't even see how close they were to success.
00:15:20
Speaker 4: That makes sense.
00:15:20
Speaker 1: That was a short and sweet way to put it, and I was trying to piece it together when you first said it, and then when you made a running analogy, I was like, a.
00:15:26
Speaker 2: You know, the last two miles before a finish line are the hardest two miles. I would even think this applies so much to relationships too, because just when it starts to get so hard, you give up. It's too painful. But the point is, I've always believed breakdowns lead to breakthroughs, and I've always believed, you know, when you can push yourself past the pain and really focus on what your goal is, what you want, you can keep that in mind. You can manage pain. You can push through it because getting to the other side, getting to the finish line, it is worth it. So you're getting close. That's why it's getting tough. And with that, everyone, thank you for running with us. I made me robots and I'm t J. Holmes always appreciate you.
