Speaker 1: Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast. Hey there everyone, good morning, and thanks for joining us for today's Morning Run. It is Wednesday, March twenty fifth. I'm Amy Robots and I'm TJ.
00:00:14
Speaker 2: Holmes, and we are the two who are going to go out and see what all this fuss is about at America's airports. Yes, we are going through two of the busiest and most problematic two robes who are currently not posting real time precise TSA wait times.
00:00:33
Speaker 1: Yes, we actually rearranged a flight coming back to get one of the first flights out of Atlanta. I've just given all the video we've seen because that is so unnerving to not know if you're going to be in a four hour line, a two hour line, a ten minute line. It's impossible. And look, yesterday I was frantic because TSA prechuck wasn't showing up on my reservation and somehow I can't get touchless idea. But you have it, So we'll just see what happens. Are we going to be in two separate lines.
00:01:02
Speaker 2: It was a dicey time at the house yesterday and we might be. We'll see how it works. We'll document this all we'll be reporting back to you all as we get started on this morning run. But yes, that is when a lot of people are still keeping an eye on and we'll continue to check in with what's going on at the airports. But yes, we are heading to one today. But on this run today, we will be making stops all over the place. Of course, in Iran. We'll be making stops at the nation's airports. We'll be making a stop in DC all well, making a stop out in Utah. Well two stops actually, we have to make in Utah. We're going to stop out in New Mexico as well today. But let's start, yes, of course, with what is happening in Iran. The latest on the US Iran negotiations, and a reminder here, these are negotiations that only the US says are taking place.
00:01:49
Speaker 1: Which flies in the face of what the definition of negotiations are because that would require two parties, all right, While President Trump is continuing to claim that, yes, productive talks are taking place, even going so far as to say Iran has made a substantial offer, but he wouldn't give any details other than to say this as part of the talks, Iran was giving the US a quote significant prize.
00:02:16
Speaker 2: You saw this. He kept calling it that gave us a gift, but he wouldn't say what it was that give has already been given. We have this gift. We were asking what is it? What they say and it's related to oil and gas, is what he said.
00:02:28
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, Well, so the president says that. Iran says, yeah, no negotiations have taken place and said yesterday that there had been outreach from the US. I believe they said there's like a third party. So are they passing notes back and forth?
00:02:45
Speaker 2: Yeh.
00:02:45
Speaker 1: Pakistan admitted that they are ready and okay, we'll see what happens. It's very confusing, but apparently in some way, in some form, there are communications going back and forth. And by the way, the president continues to say, we've won this war. This war has been won. Okay.
00:03:03
Speaker 2: He was very definitive yesterday, but in the same breaths almost as he said, we are negotiating an ended to this war. He said, quote, we have won this war. This war has been one. Meanwhile, according to the New York Times, the TROP administration has sent Iran a fifteen point proposal for ending the war that's already been one. No reactions so far from Iran. It's unclear if the proposal actually has made it to the right people. We heard this from the president the other day, say, we talked with those guys and a dude that I know is probably connected, and maybe it didn't seem like we knew who we were talking to.
00:03:36
Speaker 1: Yeah. So meanwhile, multiple media outlets are now reporting the administration is preparing at the end of this war to send a thousand US troops to the region. And this comes in addition to the thousand submarines already sent to the region that happened last week. So again mixed messaging here. How do you say the war is won, we won the war and then have an announcement that more troops are being sent to the area. It's nothing makes sense.
00:04:03
Speaker 2: I continuing on the run here now. They're trying to make sense of what exactly happened at LaGuardia Airport this week, and we got a lot of new details yesterday road It was about that deadly collision that we saw this week.
00:04:14
Speaker 1: It was a fascinating press conference that we watched live, the NTSP announcing they found this in their preliminary investigation of the crash between an Eric Canada jet and an emergency truck that left the pilot and co pilot dead. There were basically three points that they wanted to make, and they were very clear. It was a really good press conference because I could understand it.
00:04:35
Speaker 2: You know what this. I can't remember her her name right now, but the NTSB lady she is.
00:04:40
Speaker 1: She's great.
00:04:40
Speaker 2: You have seen her at several press conferences. But she knows how to handle this, and you can tell she is not trying to be apologetic or friend to any side. She's trying to figure out what the hell happened. So she did make the point two controllers were in the tower at the time. Now, she said, they have at the NTSB been complaining roads about this for a while, staffing in what she used the term midnight shift, that there's staffing issues, not enough. Usually they said there were two controllers in the tower at the time. She said, we understand that standard. That's not the problem. The problem is at least one of them was doing multiple roles.
00:05:17
Speaker 1: You don't want a distracted air traffic controller who's trying to multitask. It's just not advantageous for anyone. Honestly, hearing her made me want to never book a late flight or have a flight that lands late. I mean, that's just clearly they're saying, yeah, basically we've been waiting for something like this to happen. That kind of felt like the tone of it. She also said that the surface detention system did not detect the truck on the runway, So that's another fail stop basically for air traffic controllers that they've got this basically this system that alerts if two objects are about to collide.
00:05:55
Speaker 2: But the problem was the system couldn't first of all, see the truck couldn't make it out because there were several trucks clumped together. So in its reading of that, it just looked like a blast. Yes, she used the word blob, didn't she She said, that looked like a blob. Wow, that makes sense, But it also doesn't make sense that nobody would have caught that mine now and the other thing she said that would have prevented if the truck itself had an actual transponder that's for the radar, for the radar to where it's specifically new to track it. You know what, wrote She made a very good point that maybe makes you feel a little safer. She said, when you see something like this, we're trying to point to one person did this and this happened here? And she said, when there was an accident of this nature, multiple failures.
00:06:42
Speaker 1: Yes, she said, one thing didn't go wrong, multiple things went wrong. When I was listening to her, and they actually went second bi second to talk about how it happened. I started to think about, what are the chances that just at the exact same time, like if it had been if there was a ten second difference, it would have made all the difference between life and death. It's just such an unfortunate accident. But it does look like they're on top of making changes. They're identifying the problems, and they will be making the changes all right. Next up on the Runner, you Tall mom has been charged with kidnapping, and the headlines are everywhere, and it's about who she reportedly kidnapped.
00:07:20
Speaker 2: Forty year old Shannon Tafuga is her name, accused of kidnapping, and she napped a kid apparently Here Robes accused of taking an eleven year old boy off the street against his will, driving him back to her house why to make him apologize to her son for bullying him.
00:07:41
Speaker 1: Yes, So this incident happened back in September. She was only charged this week. Police a Tafuga actually drove around the neighborhood like surveiling the neighborhood in her vehicle looking for the kid and found him riding his bike, stopped right in front of him, and then forced him to get into her car.
00:07:58
Speaker 2: See took him back to her house, threatened the kid. What was it said, my husband's going to beat you up. Yep, that is the allegation. But force the kid to apologize to her son. I'll be other bizarre story, certainly a bizarre story. Another bizarre part of this what does she do when she gets done? Drives him home like she gets him back safely to his own home, but roes. We hear this and you go, wow, what the hell? The mom is telling a different side and saying that she'll get to tell her story. This has been going on this kid and has been bullying her kid, including her kids with disabilities, for a while and couldn't get help. So they are claiming she is the victim and they're going to make their case.
00:08:36
Speaker 1: Yes, and so they say much more to come. But by the way, if you want to hear all about this story. We go into great detail. We're going to do that around noon Eastern time, so look for that because we're going to give you all the details. There are a lot of them. This story is fascinating and it is far from.
00:08:51
Speaker 2: Over, and every parent will want to hear this.
00:08:54
Speaker 1: Yes, and you will relate and then go wait, too much? All right? Next up on the run, speaking of too much, Taylor, Frankie Paul. Perhaps at this point it's kind of crazy. I feel like there has been a new headline every day, and this is a big one. Police say they are investigating another domestic violence incident involving the would be Bachelorette. This would be the third publicly known domestic violence investigation involving Paul.
00:09:20
Speaker 2: NBC reporting that Paul her ex Dakota Mortensen, has reached out to police about a twenty twenty four domestic violent incident and that police are reviewing multiple videos connected to that alleged incident. Police now want to interview Paul to get her side of the story about this.
00:09:39
Speaker 1: All right, now, we all know I think by now the Disney canceled this season of the Bachelorette. It was supposed to premiere on Sunday after a video was released of the twenty twenty three domestic violence incident, the one where you see Taylor Frankie Paul hurling heavy metal barstools at Dakota, one of them accidentally hitting her daughter. She pleaded guilty in that case, but she was also being investigated for a second incident the police say took place in February after production for The Bachelorette had ended. So yes, there's a lot of accusations and allegations flying around, but apparently there are a lot of videos to back them up. Keep promoting our other episodes. With the one before this, we go into all the details of this latest allegation. If you are interested in the Bachelorette story and what all happened, please please please check out that episode right before Morning Run.
00:10:30
Speaker 2: All right, both, we'll continue on this Morning Run in just a moment when we come back a landmark case. A jury has now said that Meda has been after our kids and forcing them to pay nearly four hundred million dollars. We will explain. Also coming up, your member of Congress is not going to be getting a perk at the airport that they have enjoyed. We'll explain why one airline is kind of fighting back against the members of Congress and robes. What was your quote the day? Give me a tease for it.
00:11:03
Speaker 1: Let me give you a little bit of a tea. It'll tell you what to focus.
00:11:10
Speaker 2: On today, what to focus on today? All right, folks, all that coming up, we continue our morning run in just a moment. Let's continue here on this Wednesday morning. Ron Meta, the company behind Instagram, has been ordered to pay three hundred and seventy five million dollars in a case robe and a trial that a lot of people are going to be paying attention to, and a lot of lawyers might be paying attention to and trying to find some new clients.
00:11:43
Speaker 1: Yeah, chitching, chitching. The jury in New Mexico concluded that the company knowingly put kids mental health at risk and failed to protect kids from child predators. The seven week trial, which included testimony from Mark Zuckerberg himself, obviously have been closely watched because there are a I mean, there's just I can't even put a number on how many lawsuits have been piling up against social media companies, accusing them of everything from suicide to depression to just anything you can imagine. They're blaming the companies for reactions, behavior, emotions that come from consuming that product.
00:12:28
Speaker 2: And now a jury has for the first time said that, Yep, you social media companies are responsible. This is enormous. But yes, Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. What's app is a messaging app, is not the same as social but they are the ones who are who own those three. This is a major judgment. I'm sure they will appeal, but this is incredibly significant. Continuing on the run here, now, like we said, roll, we're going to be in a security line. Maybe it's a short one, but the folks you're at TSA in a security line, you're your member of Congress might be in the line right behind you, maybe right in front of you.
00:13:09
Speaker 1: All poor members of Congress, they're not going to have to feel some impact from this shutdown. Now that Delta Airlines has taken away one of their perks, you know, everyone loves this story, and honestly, justifiably so, the airline announced it was suspending it's specialty services for Members of Congress, which normally allow members of Congress to get escorts through the airport and other perks they're gone.
00:13:33
Speaker 2: They get treated like VIPs, and that has continued up to this moment. Delta is the only one so far that we has made an announcement that they're not doing this anymore. But these CEOs, in particular Delta, they've been screaming at members of Congress like you're causing us fits, You're causing our customers' fits, and you know what, you're going to be costing us money. So yeah, they're pissed. I don't mind this at all. Delta put out of statement due to the impact on resources from the long standing government shut down. Delta will temporarily spend specialty services to members of Congress flying Delta. Next to safety, Delta's number one priority is taking care of our people and customers, which has become increasingly difficult in the current environment.
00:14:13
Speaker 1: Good for y'all, babe. This feels like I just imagine this, like when you have like someone who stands up for you, for the little guy, this, you feel like, thank you Delta. Hell yeah, this is so smart on their part because I felt something I was emotionally connected to their statement, like hell yeah, they shouldn't get that after what they've done. That's they just tapped into something real.
00:14:37
Speaker 2: You know what, this is good, p are because they essentially just said, hey, don't be mad at us. We mad at them too. We so mad. You know what, We're not gonna let them have this. We're with you, customers. This is good.
00:14:48
Speaker 1: It's so good.
00:14:49
Speaker 2: That's why it's our favorite airline.
00:14:50
Speaker 1: I know, it just gets confirming what we already need. We're flying them today, but yes we are. But speaking of another airline, I'm actually really excited about this. Yeah, this is the final leg of our run coming soon to United Airlines. You know you've got what uh, You've got Economy, you've got comfort, Comfort plus, you've got Business, You've got First or whatever they call it, Polaris. Now you've got United relax Row.
00:15:17
Speaker 2: You know it sounds good and even the way you said it sounds good, what is relaxed Row because it sounds like a place I'd like to be.
00:15:24
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, it's gonna start in twenty twenty seven, and you're gonna have adjustable leg rest that actually come up and create a bed. With the bed, you get a mattress pad, a blanket, to pillows. There will only be up to twelve rows like this on a plane, but basically the economy section is going to convert into a full bed. For these are for the longer overnight flights, but yes, I think so. But it's so cool because you see like a mom with their kids, like you can actually kind of have a family bed, and for I really think for parents traveling with kids, this is amazing. But yeah, I mean in economy that's amazing.
00:16:04
Speaker 2: Isn't This would sometimes be? I think you probably at some point in your life had this on an international flight. You're not in first class and you're in the back somewhere, and you get lucky because nobody else is on your own. Yes, And you lift up the arm rest and you make a little bed. Yes, so this is what they're giving you, but actually giving you the right tools to make it a comfortable spot.
00:16:23
Speaker 1: But actually the footpress they pop up and it actually creates a big bed. It's not just the little seat roads. You actually get an extended bed and.
00:16:32
Speaker 2: They give you a mattress of blinky and billows.
00:16:35
Speaker 1: I love it.
00:16:36
Speaker 2: Hey, I don't know how this is going to work, and I don't know how much is going to cost. We haven't seen that anywhere yet. We don't know if you're essentially just going to have to buy three seats, if there's a discount, or if it's really expensive.
00:16:47
Speaker 1: I'm sure it's going to be more expensive than a regular economy ticket, but it won't be as expensive as a business or a first class ticket. So I think that's super cool. They're giving folks options to be rested when you land whatever, and you're as show wherever you're going and have an economy seat. I think that's pretty pretty cool. I think I'm applauding United for that one. All right. On this Wednesday, we have our quote of the day for you that I poorly teased, but hopefully I lowered expectations and this will be amazing.
00:17:15
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're pretty low. This is so no matter what, you're probably going to do well here.
00:17:19
Speaker 1: You're going to love that. This came from an American author who was trained as a Buddhist.
00:17:24
Speaker 2: Month there it is.
00:17:25
Speaker 1: I knew you'd like it, all right, That's how I should have teased it. Dang it. Always ideas come to me too late. All right. In the end, these things matter most. How well did you love? How fully did you live? How deeply did you let go?
00:17:41
Speaker 2: Well did you love fully did you live? And deeply? What did you let go? Deeply? Did you let go that one? Scott me, what is that one?
00:17:49
Speaker 1: Let go of all the worry, let go of all the judgment, let go of all the control that you just that's the majority of our suffering is trying to control and just hold on to things because we don't want to accept change, right, so then we just we hold on to too much. Let it go, Let it go. In the end, these things matter most. How well did you love? How fully did you live? How deeply did you let go?
00:18:18
Speaker 2: See? How well did you love? Gets me as well. Like that line, not not how deeply did you love? How hard did you love? How authentically did you love?
00:18:28
Speaker 1: No?
00:18:28
Speaker 2: How well? That makes me think Actually.
00:18:32
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, I know that's a good point to that word was chosen specifically, and that's the point. It's not it didn't say received love? How well did you love? How did you give love to others? Basically and not with conditions, not with if you do this then I'll love you, But no how And that to me is what well is implying, And I love.
00:18:50
Speaker 2: That I am going to go give well loved? Seriously, you think about it differently, how well did you love? So you say it all the time. I love you, I love this, I love that. How well did you love I'm gonna go. Let's go love some TSA agents today.
00:19:06
Speaker 1: All right, I'm all about that.
00:19:08
Speaker 2: Thank you.
00:19:08
Speaker 1: And that's from Jack Cornfield. I liked his name too.
00:19:11
Speaker 2: A Buddhist monk.
00:19:12
Speaker 1: Well he's an American, but he trained in Thailand as a Buddhist monk.
00:19:16
Speaker 2: Hey welcomed in a guy named Cornfield.
00:19:18
Speaker 1: I like it. I love them with that, everyone, thank you for riding with us.
00:19:24
Speaker 2: I may be Robot DJ Hall talk to also
Speaker 1: Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast. Hey there everyone, good morning, and thanks for joining us for today's Morning Run. It is Wednesday, March twenty fifth. I'm Amy Robots and I'm TJ.
00:00:14
Speaker 2: Holmes, and we are the two who are going to go out and see what all this fuss is about at America's airports. Yes, we are going through two of the busiest and most problematic two robes who are currently not posting real time precise TSA wait times.
00:00:33
Speaker 1: Yes, we actually rearranged a flight coming back to get one of the first flights out of Atlanta. I've just given all the video we've seen because that is so unnerving to not know if you're going to be in a four hour line, a two hour line, a ten minute line. It's impossible. And look, yesterday I was frantic because TSA prechuck wasn't showing up on my reservation and somehow I can't get touchless idea. But you have it, So we'll just see what happens. Are we going to be in two separate lines.
00:01:02

I'll be other bizarre story, certainly a bizarre story. Another bizarre part of this what does she do when she gets done? Drives him home like she gets him back safely to his own home, but roes. We hear this and you go, wow, what the hell? The mom is telling a different side and saying that she'll get to tell her story. This has been going on this kid and has been bullying her kid, including her kids with disabilities, for a while and couldn't get help. So they are claiming she is the victim and they're going to make their case.
00:08:36
Speaker 1: Yes, and so they say much more to come. But by the way, if you want to hear all about this story. We go into great detail. We're going to do that around noon Eastern time, so look for that because we're going to give you all the details. There are a lot of them. This story is fascinating and it is far from.
00:08:51
Speaker 2: Over, and every parent will want to hear this.
00:08:54
Speaker 1: Yes, and you will relate and then go wait, too much? All right? Next up on the run, speaking of too much, Taylor, Frankie Paul. Perhaps at this point it's kind of crazy. I feel like there has been a new headline every day, and this is a big one. Police say they are investigating another domestic violence incident involving the would be Bachelorette. This would be the third publicly known domestic violence investigation involving Paul.
00:09:20
Speaker 2: NBC reporting that Paul her ex Dakota Mortensen, has reached out to police about a twenty twenty four domestic violent incident and that police are reviewing multiple videos connected to that alleged incident. Police now want to interview Paul to get her side of the story about this.
00:09:39
Speaker 1: All right, now, we all know I think by now the Disney canceled this season of the Bachelorette. It was supposed to premiere on Sunday after a video was released of the twenty twenty three domestic violence incident, the one where you see Taylor Frankie Paul hurling heavy metal barstools at Dakota, one of them accidentally hitting her daughter. She pleaded guilty in that case, but she was also being investigated for a second incident the police say took place in February after production for The Bachelorette had ended. So yes, there's a lot of accusations and allegations flying around, but apparently there are a lot of videos to back them up. Keep promoting our other episodes. With the one before this, we go into all the details of this latest allegation. If you are interested in the Bachelorette story and what all happened, please please please check out that episode right before Morning Run.
00:10:30
Speaker 2: All right, both, we'll continue on this Morning Run in just a moment when we come back a landmark case. A jury has now said that Meda has been after our kids and forcing them to pay nearly four hundred million dollars. We will explain. Also coming up, your member of Congress is not going to be getting a perk at the airport that they have enjoyed. We'll explain why one airline is kind of fighting back against the members of Congress and robes. What was your quote the day? Give me a tease for it.
00:11:03
Speaker 1: Let me give you a little bit of a tea. It'll tell you what to focus.
00:11:10
Speaker 2: On today, what to focus on today? All right, folks, all that coming up, we continue our morning run in just a moment. Let's continue here on this Wednesday morning. Ron Meta, the company behind Instagram, has been ordered to pay three hundred and seventy five million dollars in a case robe and a trial that a lot of people are going to be paying attention to, and a lot of lawyers might be paying attention to and trying to find some new clients.
00:11:43
Speaker 1: Yeah, chitching, chitching. The jury in New Mexico concluded that the company knowingly put kids mental health at risk and failed to protect kids from child predators. The seven week trial, which included testimony from Mark Zuckerberg himself, obviously have been closely watched because there are a I mean, there's just I can't even put a number on how many lawsuits have been piling up against social media companies, accusing them of everything from suicide to depression to just anything you can imagine. They're blaming the companies for reactions, behavior, emotions that come from consuming that product.
00:12:28
Speaker 2: And now a jury has for the first time said that, Yep, you social media companies are responsible. This is enormous. But yes, Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. What's app is a messaging app, is not the same as social but they are the ones who are who own those three. This is a major judgment. I'm sure they will appeal, but this is incredibly significant. Continuing on the run here, now, like we said, roll, we're going to be in a security line. Maybe it's a short one, but the folks you're at TSA in a security line, you're your member of Congress might be in the line right behind you, maybe right in front of you.
00:13:09
Speaker 1: All poor members of Congress, they're not going to have to feel some impact from this shutdown. Now that Delta Airlines has taken away one of their perks, you know, everyone loves this story, and honestly, justifiably so, the airline announced it was suspending it's specialty services for Members of Congress, which normally allow members of Congress to get escorts through the airport and other perks they're gone.
00:13:33
Speaker 2: They get treated like VIPs, and that has continued up to this moment. Delta is the only one so far that we has made an announcement that they're not doing this anymore. But these CEOs, in particular Delta, they've been screaming at members of Congress like you're causing us fits, You're causing our customers' fits, and you know what, you're going to be costing us money. So yeah, they're pissed. I don't mind this at all. Delta put out of statement due to the impact on resources from the long standing government shut down. Delta will temporarily spend specialty services to members of Congress flying Delta. Next to safety, Delta's number one priority is taking care of our people and customers, which has become increasingly difficult in the current environment.
00:14:13
Speaker 1: Good for y'all, babe. This feels like I just imagine this, like when you have like someone who stands up for you, for the little guy, this, you feel like, thank you Delta. Hell yeah, this is so smart on their part because I felt something I was emotionally connected to their statement, like hell yeah, they shouldn't get that after what they've done. That's they just tapped into something real.
00:14:37
Speaker 2: You know what, this is good, p are because they essentially just said, hey, don't be mad at us. We mad at them too. We so mad. You know what, We're not gonna let them have this. We're with you, customers. This is good.
00:14:48
Speaker 1: It's so good.
00:14:49
Speaker 2: That's why it's our favorite airline.
00:14:50
Speaker 1: I know, it just gets confirming what we already need. We're flying them today, but yes we are. But speaking of another airline, I'm actually really excited about this. Yeah, this is the final leg of our run coming soon to United Airlines. You know you've got what uh, You've got Economy, you've got comfort, Comfort plus, you've got Business, You've got First or whatever they call it, Polaris. Now you've got United relax Row.
00:15:17
Speaker 2: You know it sounds good and even the way you said it sounds good, what is relaxed Row because it sounds like a place I'd like to be.
00:15:24
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, it's gonna start in twenty twenty seven, and you're gonna have adjustable leg rest that actually come up and create a bed. With the bed, you get a mattress pad, a blanket, to pillows. There will only be up to twelve rows like this on a plane, but basically the economy section is going to convert into a full bed. For these are for the longer overnight flights, but yes, I think so. But it's so cool because you see like a mom with their kids, like you can actually kind of have a family bed, and for I really think for parents traveling with kids, this is amazing. But yeah, I mean in economy that's amazing.
00:16:04
Speaker 2: Isn't This would sometimes be? I think you probably at some point in your life had this on an international flight. You're not in first class and you're in the back somewhere, and you get lucky because nobody else is on your own. Yes, And you lift up the arm rest and you make a little bed. Yes, so this is what they're giving you, but actually giving you the right tools to make it a comfortable spot.
00:16:23
Speaker 1: But actually the footpress they pop up and it actually creates a big bed. It's not just the little seat roads. You actually get an extended bed and.
00:16:32
Speaker 2: They give you a mattress of blinky and billows.
00:16:35
Speaker 1: I love it.
00:16:36
Speaker 2: Hey, I don't know how this is going to work, and I don't know how much is going to cost. We haven't seen that anywhere yet. We don't know if you're essentially just going to have to buy three seats, if there's a discount, or if it's really expensive.
00:16:47
Speaker 1: I'm sure it's going to be more expensive than a regular economy ticket, but it won't be as expensive as a business or a first class ticket. So I think that's super cool. They're giving folks options to be rested when you land whatever, and you're as show wherever you're going and have an economy seat. I think that's pretty pretty cool. I think I'm applauding United for that one. All right. On this Wednesday, we have our quote of the day for you that I poorly teased, but hopefully I lowered expectations and this will be amazing.
00:17:15
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're pretty low. This is so no matter what, you're probably going to do well here.
00:17:19
Speaker 1: You're going to love that. This came from an American author who was trained as a Buddhist.
00:17:24
Speaker 2: Month there it is.
00:17:25
Speaker 1: I knew you'd like it, all right, That's how I should have teased it. Dang it. Always ideas come to me too late. All right. In the end, these things matter most. How well did you love? How fully did you live? How deeply did you let go?
00:17:41
Speaker 2: Well did you love fully did you live? And deeply? What did you let go? Deeply? Did you let go that one? Scott me, what is that one?
00:17:49
Speaker 1: Let go of all the worry, let go of all the judgment, let go of all the control that you just that's the majority of our suffering is trying to control and just hold on to things because we don't want to accept change, right, so then we just we hold on to too much. Let it go, Let it go. In the end, these things matter most. How well did you love? How fully did you live? How deeply did you let go?
00:18:18
Speaker 2: See? How well did you love? Gets me as well. Like that line, not not how deeply did you love? How hard did you love? How authentically did you love?
00:18:28
Speaker 1: No?
00:18:28
Speaker 2: How well? That makes me think Actually.
00:18:32
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, I know that's a good point to that word was chosen specifically, and that's the point. It's not it didn't say received love? How well did you love? How did you give love to others? Basically and not with conditions, not with if you do this then I'll love you, But no how And that to me is what well is implying, And I love.
00:18:50
Speaker 2: That I am going to go give well loved? Seriously, you think about it differently, how well did you love? So you say it all the time. I love you, I love this, I love that. How well did you love I'm gonna go. Let's go love some TSA agents today.
00:19:06
Speaker 1: All right, I'm all about that.

00:19:11

Speaker 1: Well he's an American, but he trained in Thailand as a Buddhist monk.
00:19:16
