Speaker 1: Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast. Hey there everybody, it is Tuesday, December second.
00:00:09
Speaker 2: I'm Amy Robots and I TJ. Holmes and we rope. Don't have to turn on the meteorologists. We could just look out the window right now. Know, a storm is a coming.
00:00:18
Speaker 1: Storm is a bruin here in the Northeast.
00:00:21
Speaker 2: We've been dealing with this all week, perfectly timed storms, and it's not done yet. During the week of the holiday, the whole Thanksgiving holiday has been taken up by three storms that have been pounding everybody's home by now right.
00:00:34
Speaker 1: Yes, yesterday was the last big travel day I believe of Thanksgiving, and so people should be where they are intending to hunker down at least for the rest of the day time.
00:00:45
Speaker 2: Hunkering is a good way to do because we are going to have a mess. They are predicting we're gonna have a mess of a morning and even day. But even the commute this morning in some places is going to be disastrous. The northeast New England. We are bracing in this area for the storm that is on the way. It brought all kinds of snow, difficult driving conditions to parts of the Midwest, so we got now robes from You can go from Louisville all the way up to Maine and you'll see watches and warnings in place. I think a lot of major cities are gonna get be spared. Some people are relieved, others are own.
00:01:18
Speaker 1: I'm a little disappointed. Really. You know what happens is they get us all excited for the first snow is always the exciting one, right, the first snow of the season. There was a point, I believe a couple days ago where they were saying we were gonna get six inches in the city. Look, that's not like. That does not shut down the city, but it's fun while it's falling. And so now we're hearing it's going to be this is the worst sleet, like a slushy mess. That sounds like what we're getting. Yay, I'd rather have rain or snow. The sleet and the freezing rain that is just nasty.
00:01:51
Speaker 2: All right, Well, some places we might drive upstate roads, but they upstate New York could get up to six inches. Other places are predicted to get up to that as well. Someplace up to an inch an hour of snow. This isn't going to be a lingering thing, but they say it's going to dump fun though quickly.
00:02:07
Speaker 1: As long as you don't have to go anywhere or be anywhere, it's fun to sit down and watch the snow falling.
00:02:13
Speaker 2: So yes, this will be the first significant I guess went to storm for this area. But everybody be safe out there. Also to tell you about on this Tuesday morning run Diddy versus Netflix also wanted and now a reward for that missing Virginia high school football coach, a possible new travel band, a new word of the year, and new financial reasons folks to get your real ID now.
00:02:38
Speaker 1: All right, I'm in line. Actually we'll get into that. But what we do want to tell you right now is about this story that has been buzzing for quite some time. Diddy is now trying to stop this Netflix documentary that has launched today.
00:02:55
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's trying to stop and so far no good because we are as we sit here literally watching it. It's on the television. So he was unsuccessful. But folks, a new documentary dropped today on Netflix today, December second. It's called Sean Combe's The Reckoning. Now, this has been talked about for quite a while because of who was behind it, his arch nemesis in a lot of ways, fifty Cent, who has been active ever since his arrest. He has been talking about baby oil, and he was almost doing his own rolling commentary of the Trial and.
00:03:25
Speaker 1: True, and yet still says that they have no beef. That's difficult to comprehend given if this is when the actions speak louder than words, But even his words contradict what he's trying to say.
00:03:37
Speaker 2: Now, okay, come on, Curtis, come on, Curtis, we get it. You got a problem with this guy. But yes, Diddy and his team have sent a cease and desist order two Netflix, which apparently has ignored it because the documentary is out, but they are saying that it contains stolen footage that was never authorized for release. It goes on to say Diddy has been amassing footage since he was nineteen to tell his own story in his own way. It is fundamentally unfair and illegal for Netflix to misappropriate that work and robes the first two minutes your jaws dropped. We see him talking to his attorney before his arrest here in New York, and you wonder how the hell did they get their hands on this foot.
00:04:21
Speaker 1: Right, because this was from what is understood, actually, did he had someone he paid someone to video him in the days leading up to his rest. Obviously he didn't know when exactly he was going to be arrested or even if he was going to be arrested, but this was what just literally a few days before his arrest. And he is yes on the phone trying to strategize with his attorneys something that you feel like you shouldn't be watching as you're watching.
00:04:48
Speaker 2: It, Mark Agnifilo on the phone.
00:04:50
Speaker 1: And this is interesting because Netflix is not revealing who the videographer is, and I wonder if that's for his own safety or protection.
00:04:57
Speaker 2: But Netflix, it is claiming that they did lea legally obtain this and do have the right to put it out. The statement goes on to say that Netflix is plainly desperate to sensationalize every minute of mister Combs's life without regard for truth, in order to capitalize on a never ending media friendly They also acknowledge your robes that come on. Really, Netflix fifty cent, y'all trust this guy with creative control given how much he has said he dislikes They.
00:05:24
Speaker 1: Call him a long time adversary with a personal vendetta who has spent too much time slandering mister Combe's Viddy Sence says, I just want to be out here saying publicly that the rap community does not condone the behavior of someone like Diddy, and I think someone needs to speak out and represent that sentiment that is real. So all right, more to come on that for sure. But next up on the run, there is now a reward for information leading to the capture of a high school football coach who was wanted on child porn charges. Of course, we've been covering the story for quite some time since this coach went missing back on November twentieth. We're talking about Travis Turner, forty six year old Travis Turner. He went missing the day police wanted to speak to him about a complaint. Later we found out that he is now a wanted fugitive on ten counts, five counts of possession of child pornography, five counts of using a computer to solicit a minor.
00:06:22
Speaker 2: And the US Marshall Service. I mean, these folks get involved when they look up for fugitives. They are looking for a guy they consider a fugitive initially with the search that was concerned for his safety as well being. We do no. According to his family, he walked off into the woods just wearing a sweatshirt, but they said he had a firearm, and the US Marshals and their announcement did say that he may be armed, and they said people should use caution. Meanwhile, the upside, the positive, or at least the hopeful part of this is his team is thirteen and up and they have now won two games without their coach, and they're playing again this weekend with a chance to make it to the state championship. So the community is rallying around those kids.
00:06:57
Speaker 1: Yes, and that is the silver lining of the story. The reward now for information leading to his capture, I believe or is five thousand dollars kind of a low amount, actually, I was kind of surprised by that.
00:07:10
Speaker 2: It seemed like based on so much of what we're seeing with these massive fugitives, and thus.
00:07:14
Speaker 1: Ten thousand of least, but the amount of money and time being spent to try and find him, I just think it's interesting not to maybe offer something a little bit more incentivizing a.
00:07:22
Speaker 2: Lot of resources, isn't it?
00:07:24
Speaker 1: Yes, certainly, but we will keep update, keep you up to date on that developing story, but also up on our run. We are hearing about another possible travel ban Homeland Security Secretary Christy Nome. This was some very serious wording here that definitely caught our eye. She wrote this on x yesterday. She said she'd met with President Trump and recommended a quote full travel ban from every damn country that's been flooding our nation with killers, leeches, and entitlement junkies.
00:07:57
Speaker 2: She continues that our forefathers didn't build this country for quote foreign invaders to slaughter our heroes, suck dry our hard earned tax dollars, or snatch the benefits owed to Americans. We don't want them, not one Now. Of course, you've noticed the administration has taking a even harder stance on immigration and it's crackdown after those two National Guard members were shot in Washington, DC in that ambush style attack and robes that line she used from every damn country. We don't have a list of any damn country that she's possibly talking about just yet. Now we talk about those two that were shot. Twenty year old West Virginia Guard member Sarah Beckstrom. She did die the other that was shot has been listed Robes in critical I think ever since the beginning, but now considered in serious condition. And what an encouraging update about twenty four year old Andrew Wolf.
00:08:50
Speaker 1: That's right, so he was actually able to give a thumbs up, so there was some communication and he was able to wiggle his toes. I mean given house. Seriously, he was shot. I mean he has been in critical condition for days now. So this is actually just such good news, such a welcome relief for his family who I'm sure has been so worried and by his side throughout it all.
00:09:13
Speaker 2: Thank you. I've overcome right now as you Reen, I just what a relief, Like my shoulders went down, like it's nice to have some good news of something positive about is something that horrific. Continue here on the run. Yes, the whole country is watching the Tennessee seventh District special election. It is today, and Robes, this has become absolutely a national.
00:09:34
Speaker 1: Race, that's right. So we are talking about Republican Matt Van Epps and state Representative Aten Ben They are running against one another. This is a runoff. And Trump won this district by the way, by twenty two points, so he is he has been actively invested in watching this race and asking folks to come out and vote for Matt Van Epps and what he has said about often Ben. Basically his one of his big barbes against her was that she hates country music. He really wanted everyone to know that as part of the reason why you should not vote for her.
00:10:07
Speaker 2: You know what, that might work because this district is just west of Nashville.
00:10:10
Speaker 1: I thought it was so interesting that he actually went there. He said, he said, Afton Ben hates Christianity, will take away your guns. Oh yeah, wants open borders, the audience, transgender for everybody, men and women's sports, and openly disdains country music. Yes, that is how President Trump described Representative Ben.
00:10:31
Speaker 2: And she thinks Landy Wilson it's stupid.
00:10:35
Speaker 1: He played into everything he could think of that matters to Tennesseeans, Oh God, and country music, sports, and he.
00:10:44
Speaker 2: Prefers the Florida Gators over the volunteers. I mean, what else is he gonna throw in there? It was he like check, check, and check. But this is a big deal because this is now going to be a measuring stick. This is a test about this blue wave. The Democrats think they are making some real in Roa. Look, they won mayor's race in New York City, won the Virginia governor's mansion one the New Jersey. They're like, okay, we got something going. If she pulls this off, even if it's a single digit loss for her, this could be a bad signal for Republican yeah says.
00:11:19
Speaker 1: They are already gearing up for the midterm elections, which of course will determine what, well where the majority is in Congress, which makes all the difference obviously in Trump getting his policies pushed through.
00:11:31
Speaker 2: They'll be fine. They just redraw the lines if they don't like how this works out. All right, folks, stay with us here on this Tuesday morning run. When we come back, you better get your real ID because it's going to cost you, and it's going to cost you every ten days. We'll explain. Also, the United States decides to for the first time, sit out World Aids Day. And I thought we were done with the word of the year, but yeah, folks, we got another one. I don't like this one either. Stay here, right, folks, we continue on this Tuesday morning run now with World Aids Day. It was on December first, It was yesterday, and we didn't hear a peep out of the White House about it.
00:12:18
Speaker 1: Yes, and that is remarkable because this was the first time since Aid's Day was created, which by the way, was in nineteen eighty eight, that the US did not commemorate the day it all started to remember the millions who have died from AIDS related illnesses by the World Health Organization. But if you recall, the United States withdrew from the World Health Organization this year, and the State Department made this clear about their decision not to commemorate World's AIDS Day. They said, an awareness day is not a strategy.
00:12:55
Speaker 2: Okay, And a lot of countries have been cutting back on foreign aid over the past few year, certainly the United States as well, and we get that. So if you're doing that, it seemed like almost you would go out of your way to do something else that's not financial to make sure you bring awareness to keep talking about it. They made this decision, and that's fine. It just first time ever in the United States hasn't.
00:13:17
Speaker 1: Yes, and I think a lot of people would take issue with the fact that awareness is not a strategy. Awareness is the first step. Awareness is making people understand the gravity and the importance of fighting a disease like this and keeping it at bay. And we've made great and phenomenal inroads in medicines and treatments and people can live with AIDS now, which is wonderful. But awareness was the catalyst for all of it.
00:13:39
Speaker 2: But you put it in the simplest of ways, and that's that's the lead. Damn you. You find a way to make this all make sense to me, But you just simplified. It's that simple. Why would I give money to a cause that I'm not aware of or passionate about? Correct?
00:13:54
Speaker 1: Period.
00:13:55
Speaker 2: Yes, you have to get people to give a damn exactly. And if it looks like your own government doesn't give a damn, I'm not saying they don't. There's still money is still going out for age programs, PEP FAR and whatnot is still operating.
00:14:05
Speaker 1: But this was just there's a reason why we have awareness months. There's a reason why because it does bring attention to something, and that does bring funding to it, which helps eradicate or at least give people options who are living with it.
00:14:18
Speaker 2: All right, continuing on the run here now and Wednesday tomorrow, what time robes.
00:14:23
Speaker 1: Oh, yes, I have a twelve to fifteen PM appointment at a DMV.
00:14:28
Speaker 2: All right, folks, you better get yours. Robes is a little late to the party, but she is going to make it just in time. But she has this appointment to get a real ID so she can stop using her passport at the airport. But a lot of people Robes might not have their passport or carry their passport. So if you get to the airport and did not have your real ID by February, it's gonna charge you forty five dollars.
00:14:51
Speaker 1: That's painful.
00:14:53
Speaker 2: Put you in a separate line, and you got to go through this process. They say it is going to possibly slow you down. But there is a now a reporting system or a system you have to check in through this going to process. But it's going to cost you forty five dollars. It'll last you for ten days. They're essentially saying, it'll allow you for a round trip if you go somewhere on vacation, if you have something, it'll be good for that trip. But every time you fly if you don't have a real ID, that's forty five bucks.
00:15:17
Speaker 1: That is painful.
00:15:18
Speaker 2: February one, Get on it, folks man. What was your issue. This isn't easy for a lot of people.
00:15:24
Speaker 1: The truth is, so I when this all first came up and I realized I didn't have a real ID and I still have a couple of years left on my driver's license, but I just said, you know what, I immediately tried to get at least here in New York City an appointment with the DMV. It was when I went and looked in May through the end of August, like through Labor Day, there was not one single DMV appointment at all, And so I checked back a few weeks ago was able to get one. Now it's eased up and people have calmed down, so I was able to get one a week in advance. But this I prioritized it because I realized that I didn't even know this was going to happen. But I know that there are those moments where I forget to bring a passport when I'm going to Los Angeles. You know, it's just not something that's top of mind. So I'm glad I'm getting it in. Wow, scary stuff. I don't want to pay forty five bucks if.
00:16:14
Speaker 2: I forget my passport every time.
00:16:17
Speaker 1: All right, next up on the run, guess what everybody, We've got another word of the year.
00:16:24
Speaker 2: Do you remember us having I guess they put them out every year, but there's so many dictionaries. I just I don't remember covering this.
00:16:29
Speaker 1: Right now, everyone wants to have their their day in the spotlight, and so this one comes to us from Oxford Dictionary six seven. Wait, six seven? Is that how you say? Six to seven? That was dictionary dot com.
00:16:44
Speaker 2: Either one of those three versions will be fined.
00:16:46
Speaker 1: Okay, you said parisocial came from Cambridge, right, And the Oxford word of the year.
00:16:52
Speaker 2: Is rage bait? Now did you know this off the top of your head? Do you hear? I don't hear it used daily necessarily, but I'm not on on social orta.
00:17:01
Speaker 1: No, I've never said you're rage baiting me, but I guess I can get what it means.
00:17:07
Speaker 2: Yes. The definition is online content deliberately designed to elicit anger or outrage by being frustrating, provocative, or offensive. Rage bait is typically posted in order to increase traffic to or engagement with a particular web page or social media account. This is content meant to hook you in by first pissing you off. That last part was mine, but that's what we're talking about. They're taking their air intentionally playing to something. You are being manipulated.
00:17:35
Speaker 1: Your emotions are being.
00:17:36
Speaker 2: Manipular, manipulated just to get you to click on something, and we fall for it. It's a damn shame. But that's what rage bait is. Now.
00:17:42
Speaker 1: Wow, that's sad that that's the word of the year. Like, that's that's what defines twenty twenty five. All of the worlds, it's your dictionary.
00:17:50
Speaker 2: All of them are are buzzy social media type words.
00:17:53
Speaker 1: Are they trying to be relevant with the young folcus Dictionaries are so outdated because who actually goes to a dictionary and looks up anything anymore. We use it every single day because we were used to it and we had that.
00:18:06
Speaker 2: But I care if my word is spelled correctly, but now we have autro correct. Folks are texting and.
00:18:12
Speaker 1: We have AI, we have chat bots, we have but.
00:18:15
Speaker 2: I almost get hell from Sabine because all of my text messages are written perfectly and punctuated perfectly, and her stuff is a five letter word is down to two letters kind of a thing. It's how they talk well.
00:18:30
Speaker 1: And it's an acronyms that I don't understand. You have to know what they mean. But yes, the.
00:18:34
Speaker 2: Sound Oh I know, God, we do.
00:18:36
Speaker 1: Oh that was terrible. The other finalist words were, as you pointed out, online related bio hack, which that's the whole I feel like the Kardashians talk about biohacking all the time, where you're trying to live better, live longer by doing certain things and eating certain things. And that's not a bad thing. But Aura farming, I had to look that up.
00:18:56
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think we talked about it in another previous one. Yeah.
00:19:00
Speaker 1: So you're deliberately performing actions to cultivate a cool or charismatic image. So basically inauthentic would be how I would nice say, Aura farming is basically trying to make people think you're cool.
00:19:14
Speaker 2: Wow. Six seven raised bab parasocial bio hack and oraforming. How are we doing it?
00:19:21
Speaker 1: Sounds like a terrible time to live, all.
00:19:24
Speaker 2: Right, So helpefully we can get you going with the quote of the day. Something we would like for you to consider today's quote is life is designed to be lived, not endeared.
00:19:36
Speaker 1: Oh.
00:19:36
Speaker 2: I like that, And you know, I didn't realize what it kind of goes with this, and that suck. I hate hearing it, and then I get myself out of that to think if I could just get through the day, if I can just get past this or get past that.
00:19:50
Speaker 1: Now, that is a trap because we always think when I get that raise, when I get that house, when I get that car, when I get that man, when I get that ring, all of a sudden, and then I'm gonna be happy. And the reality is now you don't want to endure or past time to get to another place. It's right now. You gotta live. Find a way, there's something you can look to. This guy, look somewhere and find something to be grateful for or excited by or wow, there are things that are amazing all around us every day. So I love that reminder to if we're not here to tolerate things, we're not here to endure things. We're here to live.
00:20:26
Speaker 2: And go with that with uh, with you for today, folks. Our quote of the day, life is designed to be lived, not endured. And with that we always appreciate you running with us.
00:20:36
Speaker 1: I'm TJ and I'm Amy Robot. Go live your best life.
Speaker 1: Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast. Hey there everybody, it is Tuesday, December second.

00:06:22
Speaker 2: And the US Marshall Service. I mean, these folks get involved when they look up for fugitives. They are looking for a guy they consider a fugitive initially with the search that was concerned for his safety as well being. We do no. According to his family, he walked off into the woods just wearing a sweatshirt, but they said he had a firearm, and the US Marshals and their announcement did say that he may be armed, and they said people should use caution. Meanwhile, the upside, the positive, or at least the hopeful part of this is his team is thirteen and up and they have now won two games without their coach, and they're playing again this weekend with a chance to make it to the state championship. So the community is rallying around those kids.
00:06:57
Speaker 1: Yes, and that is the silver lining of the story. The reward now for information leading to his capture, I believe or is five thousand dollars kind of a low amount, actually, I was kind of surprised by that.
00:07:10
Speaker 2: It seemed like based on so much of what we're seeing with these massive fugitives, and thus.
00:07:14
Speaker 1: Ten thousand of least, but the amount of money and time being spent to try and find him, I just think it's interesting not to maybe offer something a little bit more incentivizing a.
00:07:22
Speaker 2: Lot of resources, isn't it?
00:07:24
Speaker 1: Yes, certainly, but we will keep update, keep you up to date on that developing story, but also up on our run. We are hearing about another possible travel ban Homeland Security Secretary Christy Nome. This was some very serious wording here that definitely caught our eye. She wrote this on x yesterday. She said she'd met with President Trump and recommended a quote full travel ban from every damn country that's been flooding our nation with killers, leeches, and entitlement junkies.
00:07:57
Speaker 2: She continues that our forefathers didn't build this country for quote foreign invaders to slaughter our heroes, suck dry our hard earned tax dollars, or snatch the benefits owed to Americans. We don't want them, not one Now. Of course, you've noticed the administration has taking a even harder stance on immigration and it's crackdown after those two National Guard members were shot in Washington, DC in that ambush style attack and robes that line she used from every damn country. We don't have a list of any damn country that she's possibly talking about just yet. Now we talk about those two that were shot. Twenty year old West Virginia Guard member Sarah Beckstrom. She did die the other that was shot has been listed Robes in critical I think ever since the beginning, but now considered in serious condition. And what an encouraging update about twenty four year old Andrew Wolf.
00:08:50
Speaker 1: That's right, so he was actually able to give a thumbs up, so there was some communication and he was able to wiggle his toes. I mean given house. Seriously, he was shot. I mean he has been in critical condition for days now. So this is actually just such good news, such a welcome relief for his family who I'm sure has been so worried and by his side throughout it all.
00:09:13
Speaker 2: Thank you. I've overcome right now as you Reen, I just what a relief, Like my shoulders went down, like it's nice to have some good news of something positive about is something that horrific. Continue here on the run. Yes, the whole country is watching the Tennessee seventh District special election. It is today, and Robes, this has become absolutely a national.
00:09:34
Speaker 1: Race, that's right. So we are talking about Republican Matt Van Epps and state Representative Aten Ben They are running against one another. This is a runoff. And Trump won this district by the way, by twenty two points, so he is he has been actively invested in watching this race and asking folks to come out and vote for Matt Van Epps and what he has said about often Ben. Basically his one of his big barbes against her was that she hates country music. He really wanted everyone to know that as part of the reason why you should not vote for her.
00:10:07
Speaker 2: You know what, that might work because this district is just west of Nashville.
00:10:10
Speaker 1: I thought it was so interesting that he actually went there. He said, he said, Afton Ben hates Christianity, will take away your guns. Oh yeah, wants open borders, the audience, transgender for everybody, men and women's sports, and openly disdains country music. Yes, that is how President Trump described Representative Ben.
00:10:31
Speaker 2: And she thinks Landy Wilson it's stupid.
00:10:35
Speaker 1: He played into everything he could think of that matters to Tennesseeans, Oh God, and country music, sports, and he.
00:10:44
Speaker 2: Prefers the Florida Gators over the volunteers. I mean, what else is he gonna throw in there? It was he like check, check, and check. But this is a big deal because this is now going to be a measuring stick. This is a test about this blue wave. The Democrats think they are making some real in Roa. Look, they won mayor's race in New York City, won the Virginia governor's mansion one the New Jersey. They're like, okay, we got something going. If she pulls this off, even if it's a single digit loss for her, this could be a bad signal for Republican yeah says.
00:11:19
Speaker 1: They are already gearing up for the midterm elections, which of course will determine what, well where the majority is in Congress, which makes all the difference obviously in Trump getting his policies pushed through.
00:11:31
Speaker 2: They'll be fine. They just redraw the lines if they don't like how this works out. All right, folks, stay with us here on this Tuesday morning run. When we come back, you better get your real ID because it's going to cost you, and it's going to cost you every ten days. We'll explain. Also, the United States decides to for the first time, sit out World Aids Day. And I thought we were done with the word of the year, but yeah, folks, we got another one. I don't like this one either. Stay here, right, folks, we continue on this Tuesday morning run now with World Aids Day. It was on December first, It was yesterday, and we didn't hear a peep out of the White House about it.
00:12:18
Speaker 1: Yes, and that is remarkable because this was the first time since Aid's Day was created, which by the way, was in nineteen eighty eight, that the US did not commemorate the day it all started to remember the millions who have died from AIDS related illnesses by the World Health Organization. But if you recall, the United States withdrew from the World Health Organization this year, and the State Department made this clear about their decision not to commemorate World's AIDS Day. They said, an awareness day is not a strategy.
00:12:55
Speaker 2: Okay, And a lot of countries have been cutting back on foreign aid over the past few year, certainly the United States as well, and we get that. So if you're doing that, it seemed like almost you would go out of your way to do something else that's not financial to make sure you bring awareness to keep talking about it. They made this decision, and that's fine. It just first time ever in the United States hasn't.
00:13:17
Speaker 1: Yes, and I think a lot of people would take issue with the fact that awareness is not a strategy. Awareness is the first step. Awareness is making people understand the gravity and the importance of fighting a disease like this and keeping it at bay. And we've made great and phenomenal inroads in medicines and treatments and people can live with AIDS now, which is wonderful. But awareness was the catalyst for all of it.
00:13:39
Speaker 2: But you put it in the simplest of ways, and that's that's the lead. Damn you. You find a way to make this all make sense to me, But you just simplified. It's that simple. Why would I give money to a cause that I'm not aware of or passionate about? Correct?
00:13:54
Speaker 1: Period.
00:13:55
Speaker 2: Yes, you have to get people to give a damn exactly. And if it looks like your own government doesn't give a damn, I'm not saying they don't. There's still money is still going out for age programs, PEP FAR and whatnot is still operating.
00:14:05
Speaker 1: But this was just there's a reason why we have awareness months. There's a reason why because it does bring attention to something, and that does bring funding to it, which helps eradicate or at least give people options who are living with it.
00:14:18
Speaker 2: All right, continuing on the run here now and Wednesday tomorrow, what time robes.
00:14:23
Speaker 1: Oh, yes, I have a twelve to fifteen PM appointment at a DMV.
00:14:28
Speaker 2: All right, folks, you better get yours. Robes is a little late to the party, but she is going to make it just in time. But she has this appointment to get a real ID so she can stop using her passport at the airport. But a lot of people Robes might not have their passport or carry their passport. So if you get to the airport and did not have your real ID by February, it's gonna charge you forty five dollars.
00:14:51
Speaker 1: That's painful.
00:14:53
Speaker 2: Put you in a separate line, and you got to go through this process. They say it is going to possibly slow you down. But there is a now a reporting system or a system you have to check in through this going to process. But it's going to cost you forty five dollars. It'll last you for ten days. They're essentially saying, it'll allow you for a round trip if you go somewhere on vacation, if you have something, it'll be good for that trip. But every time you fly if you don't have a real ID, that's forty five bucks.
00:15:17
Speaker 1: That is painful.
00:15:18
Speaker 2: February one, Get on it, folks man. What was your issue. This isn't easy for a lot of people.
00:15:24
Speaker 1: The truth is, so I when this all first came up and I realized I didn't have a real ID and I still have a couple of years left on my driver's license, but I just said, you know what, I immediately tried to get at least here in New York City an appointment with the DMV. It was when I went and looked in May through the end of August, like through Labor Day, there was not one single DMV appointment at all, And so I checked back a few weeks ago was able to get one. Now it's eased up and people have calmed down, so I was able to get one a week in advance. But this I prioritized it because I realized that I didn't even know this was going to happen. But I know that there are those moments where I forget to bring a passport when I'm going to Los Angeles. You know, it's just not something that's top of mind. So I'm glad I'm getting it in. Wow, scary stuff. I don't want to pay forty five bucks if.
00:16:14
Speaker 2: I forget my passport every time.
00:16:17
Speaker 1: All right, next up on the run, guess what everybody, We've got another word of the year.
00:16:24
Speaker 2: Do you remember us having I guess they put them out every year, but there's so many dictionaries. I just I don't remember covering this.
00:16:29
Speaker 1: Right now, everyone wants to have their their day in the spotlight, and so this one comes to us from Oxford Dictionary six seven. Wait, six seven? Is that how you say? Six to seven? That was dictionary dot com.
00:16:44
Speaker 2: Either one of those three versions will be fined.
00:16:46
Speaker 1: Okay, you said parisocial came from Cambridge, right, And the Oxford word of the year.
00:16:52
Speaker 2: Is rage bait? Now did you know this off the top of your head? Do you hear? I don't hear it used daily necessarily, but I'm not on on social orta.
00:17:01
Speaker 1: No, I've never said you're rage baiting me, but I guess I can get what it means.
00:17:07
Speaker 2: Yes. The definition is online content deliberately designed to elicit anger or outrage by being frustrating, provocative, or offensive. Rage bait is typically posted in order to increase traffic to or engagement with a particular web page or social media account. This is content meant to hook you in by first pissing you off. That last part was mine, but that's what we're talking about. They're taking their air intentionally playing to something. You are being manipulated.
00:17:35
Speaker 1: Your emotions are being.
00:17:36
Speaker 2: Manipular, manipulated just to get you to click on something, and we fall for it. It's a damn shame. But that's what rage bait is. Now.
00:17:42
Speaker 1: Wow, that's sad that that's the word of the year. Like, that's that's what defines twenty twenty five. All of the worlds, it's your dictionary.
00:17:50
Speaker 2: All of them are are buzzy social media type words.
00:17:53
Speaker 1: Are they trying to be relevant with the young folcus Dictionaries are so outdated because who actually goes to a dictionary and looks up anything anymore. We use it every single day because we were used to it and we had that.
00:18:06
Speaker 2: But I care if my word is spelled correctly, but now we have autro correct. Folks are texting and.
00:18:12
Speaker 1: We have AI, we have chat bots, we have but.
00:18:15
Speaker 2: I almost get hell from Sabine because all of my text messages are written perfectly and punctuated perfectly, and her stuff is a five letter word is down to two letters kind of a thing. It's how they talk well.
00:18:30
Speaker 1: And it's an acronyms that I don't understand. You have to know what they mean. But yes, the.
00:18:34
Speaker 2: Sound Oh I know, God, we do.
00:18:36
Speaker 1: Oh that was terrible. The other finalist words were, as you pointed out, online related bio hack, which that's the whole I feel like the Kardashians talk about biohacking all the time, where you're trying to live better, live longer by doing certain things and eating certain things. And that's not a bad thing. But Aura farming, I had to look that up.
00:18:56
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think we talked about it in another previous one. Yeah.
00:19:00
Speaker 1: So you're deliberately performing actions to cultivate a cool or charismatic image. So basically inauthentic would be how I would nice say, Aura farming is basically trying to make people think you're cool.
00:19:14
Speaker 2: Wow. Six seven raised bab parasocial bio hack and oraforming. How are we doing it?
00:19:21
Speaker 1: Sounds like a terrible time to live, all.
00:19:24
Speaker 2: Right, So helpefully we can get you going with the quote of the day. Something we would like for you to consider today's quote is life is designed to be lived, not endeared.
00:19:36
Speaker 1: Oh.
00:19:36
Speaker 2: I like that, And you know, I didn't realize what it kind of goes with this, and that suck. I hate hearing it, and then I get myself out of that to think if I could just get through the day, if I can just get past this or get past that.
00:19:50
Speaker 1: Now, that is a trap because we always think when I get that raise, when I get that house, when I get that car, when I get that man, when I get that ring, all of a sudden, and then I'm gonna be happy. And the reality is now you don't want to endure or past time to get to another place. It's right now. You gotta live. Find a way, there's something you can look to. This guy, look somewhere and find something to be grateful for or excited by or wow, there are things that are amazing all around us every day. So I love that reminder to if we're not here to tolerate things, we're not here to endure things. We're here to live.
00:20:26
Speaker 2: And go with that with uh, with you for today, folks. Our quote of the day, life is designed to be lived, not endured. And with that we always appreciate you running with us.
00:20:36
Speaker 1: I'm TJ and I'm Amy Robot. Go live your best life.
