Speaker 1: Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast. Good morning everybody, and welcome to Morning Run. It is Thursday, June eighteenth.
00:00:10
Speaker 2: I'm Amy Robox and I'm TJ. Holmes. You want to start this morning with a big thank you to Annalise and Josh for possibly saving my motorcycle for being towed in New York because the city is gone crazy for this Nick's Parade. I guess that makes sense, But Robes, this is kind of an amazing thing they're doing in New York City today.
00:00:29
Speaker 3: Yeah, we got a call at four o'clock in the morning.
00:00:31
Speaker 1: Woke us up in the middle of the night because Analyse got a call that your motorcycle had to be moved. Why because apparently all vehicles south of Canal Street must be removed from the street or they will be towed.
00:00:47
Speaker 2: It's hard. I know folks in New York will hear there and go, Holy hell, that's crazy. It's hard to put in context, Roades, how big of a deal that is? How big of an area in Manhattan where no car is allowed to be on the street south of Canal That seems impossible.
00:01:04
Speaker 3: I don't understand.
00:01:05
Speaker 2: You don't get toe left and right today.
00:01:07
Speaker 1: Yeah, the parade goes down Broadway, and sure they have to close off some streets, but we're all the way in Battery Park City on a cul de sac. Why in the hell do all the cars have to be moved from the streets.
00:01:18
Speaker 2: Hey, it's big parade day. It's very exciting. We've been waiting a long time for this. But yeah, it was a hell of a wake up. We're four o'clock here in Paris. But thank you, Alis and Josh. Good luck New York today with uh with the parade. But yes, it's a big deal in the city. But on our run this morning, we've gonna be making several stops in addition to in New York City, Gonna make a stop in Versailles, stop in Long Beach, stop in Lincoln excuse me, in Central Park. Also stop in Chicago as well as through the fast food the what do you call it? The drive through line, We'll be making a stop there as well. But let's start roades. This is a big deal. It's it's official. Is it?
00:01:57
Speaker 3: Sign seal delivered yours?
00:01:59
Speaker 1: Yeah, the much talked about agreement between the US and Iran to end the war has apparently been signed and it goes into immediate effect.
00:02:08
Speaker 2: Yeah, the deal begins a new sixty day period of further negotiations on another final deal about the future of Iran's nuclear program. But for now, Robes, this new agreement has some things in it here that well, you can let the other folks debate about, but it calls for the reopening of the Straight of Horror moves and into the US military blockade, the lifting of sanctions against Iran, and the unfreezing of Iranian funds. But Robes, it's there's language in there that says the permanent cessation of hostilities. So this is supposed to officially end the war, but we haven't worked out why we went to war, which was to get the nuclear stuff.
00:02:46
Speaker 1: Right, and so we get the war's over, but we're gonna have a big signing ceremony when it's just basically a temporary hold.
00:02:54
Speaker 2: Maybe, and we don't know for sure about the signing ceremony, if it's actually gonna happen in Geneva tomorrow or not.
00:02:59
Speaker 3: Oh my goodness.
00:03:00
Speaker 1: All right, a lot of questions and very few answers so far, but maybe we'll get them soon. Next up on the Run, Lawyers for Luigi Mangioni plan to argue that he committed murder because he was going through an extreme emotional disturbance. Mangioni is facing state and federal charges for the killing of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
00:03:21
Speaker 2: And I guess roapes we were, at least in journalism, we always have to say accused or alleged. By using this defense, he's flat out saying, yeah, I shot and kill a guy. Yep, it's all on video, right. It's hard to argue that. But now he has a defense for why he did it. This was that a hearing yesterday was revealed that his attorney's plan to use what they call an affirmative psychiatric defense. Now we don't know the details about what they'll argue caused his mental state. The rope there he was railing against the medical industry. Can you make the argument he was so upset it calls some kind of mental break Well.
00:03:54
Speaker 3: I don't know. I think it's a tough one.
00:03:55
Speaker 1: I think, at least for any member of a jury, because when someone commits murder and shoots someone that they planned murder, it's hard to imagine that you wouldn't be in an emotional disturbance. But that isn't a defense, is it called.
00:04:11
Speaker 2: By the medical industry or its twelve all twelve jurors, we'll be able to say, Yeah, I've been pissed at the medical industry too, and.
00:04:18
Speaker 1: I didn't do that, right, I don't know this is I've never actually seen that specific defense, So this shall be interesting. His state trial is scheduled to start in September, so we will hear and watch what happens in that courtroom.
00:04:31
Speaker 2: All right. Next leg up, our run Tex goes back to New York City and in particular the Central Park, where a teenager died after being thrown from one of those famous horse drawn carriages in the middle of the park. World, this is in the middle of the afternoon. This sounds like a horrific situation.
00:04:47
Speaker 1: I actually had to read this story a couple of times to make sure that I was reading it correctly, because, yeah, if you have ever been a tourist in New York City, you know exactly what we're talking about. I've ridden on one. It's a must do for most folks. It's a romantic stroll through the park. Well, according to police, the teenager was in the carriage with three other passengers when the horse took off and it actually threw the people from the carriage. The eighteen year old was rushed to the hospital was listed initially in critical condition, but then later succumbed to his injuries.
00:05:19
Speaker 2: But rode this the scene. We're there a lot in Central Park and this time of year, visitors. It's very busy right now, and the weather's finally turned and it's nice. This happened in front of everybody at three or something in the afternoon. Bro, If people witnessed, that is horrible. But this is hard to hear. The union of the group that represents the carriage drivers actually said this driver stepped down. He was taking a picture of the folks. Now, that sounds innocent enough to me. You're not supposed to leave the horse, he said, that's against Oh my god.
00:05:51
Speaker 3: They were getting like a group photo.
00:05:53
Speaker 2: Yeah, and the guy stepped down and was not in control of the horse, and they say, you're not supposed to do that. I didn't makes sense, but I didn't realize what.
00:06:00
Speaker 3: A tragedy, all right.
00:06:01
Speaker 1: Next up on the Run, the gilg Beach serial killer was sentenced yesterday, but he listened to a lot of angry words directed at him. First, Rex Hoyerman pleaded guilty to seven murders. He admitted to an eighth. And the victims were all young women and they were all strangly.
00:06:20
Speaker 2: So there was no mystery yesterday about what sentence he was going to get. We knew he wasn't going to get out of prison the rest of his life. But roe of this are always important, important days. Some of these crimes go back to the nineties, so you had families in there and people in there who grew up without mothers making victim impact statements. And this was a heavy, a heavy day, but it was some finality finally, and this is the last chapter for those families, hopefully.
00:06:45
Speaker 1: Yes, and he did receive those three life sentences I think plus one hundred years. Yes, behind bars. He was described as unemotional, which is not shocking, I guess if you are a serial killer listening to the victims' families. But he did say I am responsible. There are no words I can say. If you're interested in this, please take a look. I believe it's the episode before this, we did a full recap of what happened in court.
00:07:09
Speaker 3: It is powerful, all right.
00:07:11
Speaker 2: Continuing on, the run. Here now with the young actress who starred in The Ring and also in Lelo and Stitch has passed away at the age of thirty five. She did a lot of voice work. Robes was not necessarily somebody in a face you'd be familiar with. But her name is Devey Chase.
00:07:28
Speaker 3: She was the.
00:07:28
Speaker 2: Voice of Lelo. Oh wow, in Lelo and Stitch. That is pretty remarkable.
00:07:33
Speaker 3: That's a huge role.
00:07:35
Speaker 2: That's a war. That's one of the biggest hits Disney's ever had. But yeah, she did the voice and the other thing, she's the girl crawling through the TV in the Ring.
00:07:43
Speaker 3: Oh my god, in the Ring, I've reenacted that so many times.
00:07:47
Speaker 2: Was her robes.
00:07:49
Speaker 3: Wow.
00:07:49
Speaker 2: But she had since done a whole lot of voiceover work. She's done a lot of TV works. She's been in front of the camera behind But she's just thirty five years old. Now, what in the world happened? Her boyfriend is actually telling TMZ meningitis as well as an infection in.
00:08:03
Speaker 3: Her book Scary damn. I mean meningitis. That's one of those scary things. You catch it.
00:08:07
Speaker 1: If you don't catch it in time, you go septic. And that is just unbelievably said so young thirty five?
00:08:13
Speaker 3: All right?
00:08:14
Speaker 1: Next up on the raun a twenty one year old man has been arrested and charged with last week's cross burning in Chicago's Grant Park. Police have charged Merlin Lou with two counts of a hate crime, damaging property, disorderly conduct, reckless conduct, criminal damage to property, and yes, cross burning to intimidate.
00:08:32
Speaker 2: However, he didn't understand what he was doing, because apparently he told police that yeah, I did it, but he said he did it in protest of the federal government.
00:08:43
Speaker 3: Yep. He said.
00:08:44
Speaker 1: He actually put a red hat on the top of the cross, and I don't know how that was supposed to symbolize the Trump administration, so the president. He said, it wasn't a direct threat against an individual, but just the government itself. So he did the Maga hack twenty one.
00:09:01
Speaker 2: We there's some just history. We need to get back in schools.
00:09:05
Speaker 3: He said he was not aware.
00:09:07
Speaker 1: He said he kind of knew that, but he didn't realize that this was going to feel like a threat for an intimidation to black people in Chicago.
00:09:16
Speaker 2: He grew up there.
00:09:17
Speaker 3: Yes, I think Naperville, what is.
00:09:19
Speaker 2: An Okay, we gotta come on with little history here, and I you know what, and I'm I'm sure they'll appreciate us telling the world that this young bright fella was a student at the University of Illinois Chicago.
00:09:32
Speaker 1: So here's the funny thing about that. He in this video said he was a senior. Immediately the University of Illinois Chicago said he's no longer enrolled here.
00:09:39
Speaker 3: So he was enrolled in the fall.
00:09:40
Speaker 1: I don't know how long he went there, so they were trying to already distance themselves from.
00:09:44
Speaker 2: Him, distance by kicking him out. That's not what we're saying. He left already.
00:09:47
Speaker 1: He's not currently. They just didn't want their name. Of course, it's in every report.
00:09:53
Speaker 2: We dropped down to six hours, so he's not a full time student.
00:09:56
Speaker 1: But he has a detention hearing later today, so we will see him in court today.
00:10:00
Speaker 2: I actually want to watch that, all right.
00:10:03
Speaker 1: Next up on the Run, the Federal Reserve left the key interest rate unchanged. That's the first decision on interest rates. It's under the new Fed chair Kevin Walsh. So not sure how President Trump feels about this. He usually likes those rates to be lowered, but no, they remain unchanged. And look, we're in a tough spot with inflation right now, so they're monitoring that situation closely.
00:10:26
Speaker 2: All right, we'll stay with us on this Thursday morning run. When we come back, guests, who's going to the White House? Somebody that hasn't gone to the White House, So anybody like them in all of the Trump years. We'll explain. And the number one America's absolute favorite fast food change, Chick fil A been on top for the past eleven years. Well no more. Guess who is the new thing.
00:11:00
Speaker 1: We continue our run on this Friday Eve with the New York Knicks going to the White House. This is all according to Knick's owner James Dolan. He said it in an interview yesterday. He said the newly crowned NBA champs were invited to the White House and that the organization accepted the offer.
00:11:18
Speaker 2: Okay, this would be cool and this will be a big deal because no NBA champion has gone to the White House any year that President Trump was the resident of the White House. Yes, they have accepted, but ropes every single year. Wow, Sometimes they just said no, and there are other times that came up. Well, there's a scheduling issue. But no, NBA champ has gone in all of his first four years and last year either, so this will be first so big deal. It's his hometown team. We'll see. But I'm also curious Dolan said the organization accepted. Did he ask all the players are all the all in?
00:11:52
Speaker 3: That'll just get messy.
00:11:54
Speaker 1: Get players don't want to go to the White House.
00:11:57
Speaker 2: Hopefully he cleared it. Hopefully he did.
00:11:59
Speaker 3: Yes, let's assume he did all right.
00:12:01
Speaker 1: Next up on the run, Chick fil A is no longer America's fast food chain in America.
00:12:08
Speaker 3: We didn't realize.
00:12:09
Speaker 2: Favorite the favorite. Sorry we were missing there. No longer the favorite.
00:12:11
Speaker 3: Okay, I was like, is it leaving America?
00:12:13
Speaker 2: No longer America's favorite fast food chain? Yes?
00:12:18
Speaker 3: Got it all right?
00:12:19
Speaker 1: So the chicken chain has held the top spot for the past decade in the annual Survey of Customer Satisfaction, meaning every year for the past ten years, customers have made Chick fil A the top rated food chain.
00:12:31
Speaker 2: I couldn't have guessed this. The rain is now over and there's no way I would have come up with the new favorite.
00:12:36
Speaker 3: No, No, it would not have either.
00:12:37
Speaker 2: I could have guessed and guests and guests. I don't know, twenty times twenty guests is maybe I would have come up with this.
00:12:42
Speaker 3: I would never have guessed this one.
00:12:43
Speaker 2: Jersey Mikes, who knew, is now America's favorite chain, and they do this based on surveys of customer satisfaction about the menu, just an overall thing. And congrats the Jersey Mic for the throning Chick fil A, I mean, which we alln't even eat fried chicken and I love.
00:13:02
Speaker 3: Well.
00:13:03
Speaker 1: Chick fil A is a absolute favorite in our house, no question about it.
00:13:07
Speaker 2: So depend you got there. But after Jersey Mike and Chick fil A, then you had Jimmy John's, KFC, Panda Express, Papa John's Pizza Hut, and then Domino's. Now people naturally start asking robes McDonald's. Where's McDonald's on the list? Way way down there? Really, it's not even in the top five burger chains as far as America's.
00:13:30
Speaker 3: Are you serious?
00:13:31
Speaker 1: If they had told me, like five guys, maybe was one of the top rated, I would have believed that Jersey Mike's. I don't know that I have ever ever eaten a Jersey Mike' sub and maybe we should.
00:13:43
Speaker 2: I think I was a quiz No's guy. Back in the day.
00:13:45
Speaker 3: I did love biziness. They were amazing, all right.
00:13:48
Speaker 1: And for your quote of the day on this Thursday, step into uncertainty. If you fail, you gain wisdom. If you win, you gain a new life. Yeah, you gotta take that step into uncertainty.
00:14:04
Speaker 2: Got to what's the alternative?
00:14:06
Speaker 3: You know nothing, say where you are.
00:14:08
Speaker 2: And that's okay for some people. And I don't like to criticize anybody for choosing to go that route. That's fine. But my goodness, but not knowing, not taking a shot, not giving a chance. I mean, you're getting something that way they put that you are about to gain no matter what.
00:14:22
Speaker 1: I love that too, So once again for you, And this is from epi Wait, epic Epicurus.
00:14:28
Speaker 3: It's one of those Roman philosophers.
00:14:31
Speaker 1: But I'm always amazed that they were so wise and still their wisdom is still applicable today.
00:14:37
Speaker 3: That kind of blows my mind.
00:14:38
Speaker 2: It blows my mind. We still have the same problem, but just human beings have had the same problem we do for ever that we're still trying to work out.
00:14:47
Speaker 1: All right, So we got to keep trying, right, So step into uncertainty. If you fail, you gain wisdom. If you win, you gain a new life. And with that everyone, we hope you have a wonderful Friday.
00:14:56

Speaker 2: But she had since done a whole lot of voiceover work. She's done a lot of TV works. She's been in front of the camera behind But she's just thirty five years old. Now, what in the world happened? Her boyfriend is actually telling TMZ meningitis as well as an infection in.
00:08:03
Speaker 3: Her book Scary damn. I mean meningitis. That's one of those scary things. You catch it.
00:08:07
Speaker 1: If you don't catch it in time, you go septic. And that is just unbelievably said so young thirty five?
00:08:13
Speaker 3: All right?
00:08:14
Speaker 1: Next up on the raun a twenty one year old man has been arrested and charged with last week's cross burning in Chicago's Grant Park. Police have charged Merlin Lou with two counts of a hate crime, damaging property, disorderly conduct, reckless conduct, criminal damage to property, and yes, cross burning to intimidate.
00:08:32
Speaker 2: However, he didn't understand what he was doing, because apparently he told police that yeah, I did it, but he said he did it in protest of the federal government.
00:08:43
Speaker 3: Yep. He said.
00:08:44
Speaker 1: He actually put a red hat on the top of the cross, and I don't know how that was supposed to symbolize the Trump administration, so the president. He said, it wasn't a direct threat against an individual, but just the government itself. So he did the Maga hack twenty one.
00:09:01
Speaker 2: We there's some just history. We need to get back in schools.
00:09:05
Speaker 3: He said he was not aware.
00:09:07
Speaker 1: He said he kind of knew that, but he didn't realize that this was going to feel like a threat for an intimidation to black people in Chicago.
00:09:16
Speaker 2: He grew up there.
00:09:17
Speaker 3: Yes, I think Naperville, what is.
00:09:19
Speaker 2: An Okay, we gotta come on with little history here, and I you know what, and I'm I'm sure they'll appreciate us telling the world that this young bright fella was a student at the University of Illinois Chicago.
00:09:32
Speaker 1: So here's the funny thing about that. He in this video said he was a senior. Immediately the University of Illinois Chicago said he's no longer enrolled here.
00:09:39
Speaker 3: So he was enrolled in the fall.
00:09:40
Speaker 1: I don't know how long he went there, so they were trying to already distance themselves from.
00:09:44
Speaker 2: Him, distance by kicking him out. That's not what we're saying. He left already.
00:09:47
Speaker 1: He's not currently. They just didn't want their name. Of course, it's in every report.
00:09:53
Speaker 2: We dropped down to six hours, so he's not a full time student.
00:09:56
Speaker 1: But he has a detention hearing later today, so we will see him in court today.
00:10:00
Speaker 2: I actually want to watch that, all right.
00:10:03
Speaker 1: Next up on the Run, the Federal Reserve left the key interest rate unchanged. That's the first decision on interest rates. It's under the new Fed chair Kevin Walsh. So not sure how President Trump feels about this. He usually likes those rates to be lowered, but no, they remain unchanged. And look, we're in a tough spot with inflation right now, so they're monitoring that situation closely.
00:10:26
Speaker 2: All right, we'll stay with us on this Thursday morning run. When we come back, guests, who's going to the White House? Somebody that hasn't gone to the White House, So anybody like them in all of the Trump years. We'll explain. And the number one America's absolute favorite fast food change, Chick fil A been on top for the past eleven years. Well no more. Guess who is the new thing.
00:11:00
Speaker 1: We continue our run on this Friday Eve with the New York Knicks going to the White House. This is all according to Knick's owner James Dolan. He said it in an interview yesterday. He said the newly crowned NBA champs were invited to the White House and that the organization accepted the offer.
00:11:18
Speaker 2: Okay, this would be cool and this will be a big deal because no NBA champion has gone to the White House any year that President Trump was the resident of the White House. Yes, they have accepted, but ropes every single year. Wow, Sometimes they just said no, and there are other times that came up. Well, there's a scheduling issue. But no, NBA champ has gone in all of his first four years and last year either, so this will be first so big deal. It's his hometown team. We'll see. But I'm also curious Dolan said the organization accepted. Did he ask all the players are all the all in?
00:11:52
Speaker 3: That'll just get messy.
00:11:54
Speaker 1: Get players don't want to go to the White House.
00:11:57
Speaker 2: Hopefully he cleared it. Hopefully he did.
00:11:59
Speaker 3: Yes, let's assume he did all right.
00:12:01
Speaker 1: Next up on the run, Chick fil A is no longer America's fast food chain in America.
00:12:08
Speaker 3: We didn't realize.
00:12:09
Speaker 2: Favorite the favorite. Sorry we were missing there. No longer the favorite.
00:12:11
Speaker 3: Okay, I was like, is it leaving America?
00:12:13
Speaker 2: No longer America's favorite fast food chain? Yes?
00:12:18
Speaker 3: Got it all right?
00:12:19
Speaker 1: So the chicken chain has held the top spot for the past decade in the annual Survey of Customer Satisfaction, meaning every year for the past ten years, customers have made Chick fil A the top rated food chain.
00:12:31
Speaker 2: I couldn't have guessed this. The rain is now over and there's no way I would have come up with the new favorite.
00:12:36
Speaker 3: No, No, it would not have either.
00:12:37
Speaker 2: I could have guessed and guests and guests. I don't know, twenty times twenty guests is maybe I would have come up with this.
00:12:42
Speaker 3: I would never have guessed this one.
00:12:43
Speaker 2: Jersey Mikes, who knew, is now America's favorite chain, and they do this based on surveys of customer satisfaction about the menu, just an overall thing. And congrats the Jersey Mic for the throning Chick fil A, I mean, which we alln't even eat fried chicken and I love.
00:13:02
Speaker 3: Well.
00:13:03
Speaker 1: Chick fil A is a absolute favorite in our house, no question about it.
00:13:07
Speaker 2: So depend you got there. But after Jersey Mike and Chick fil A, then you had Jimmy John's, KFC, Panda Express, Papa John's Pizza Hut, and then Domino's. Now people naturally start asking robes McDonald's. Where's McDonald's on the list? Way way down there? Really, it's not even in the top five burger chains as far as America's.
00:13:30
Speaker 3: Are you serious?
00:13:31
Speaker 1: If they had told me, like five guys, maybe was one of the top rated, I would have believed that Jersey Mike's. I don't know that I have ever ever eaten a Jersey Mike' sub and maybe we should.
00:13:43
Speaker 2: I think I was a quiz No's guy. Back in the day.
00:13:45
Speaker 3: I did love biziness. They were amazing, all right.
00:13:48
Speaker 1: And for your quote of the day on this Thursday, step into uncertainty. If you fail, you gain wisdom. If you win, you gain a new life. Yeah, you gotta take that step into uncertainty.
00:14:04
Speaker 2: Got to what's the alternative?
00:14:06
Speaker 3: You know nothing, say where you are.
00:14:08
Speaker 2: And that's okay for some people. And I don't like to criticize anybody for choosing to go that route. That's fine. But my goodness, but not knowing, not taking a shot, not giving a chance. I mean, you're getting something that way they put that you are about to gain no matter what.
00:14:22
Speaker 1: I love that too, So once again for you, And this is from epi Wait, epic Epicurus.
00:14:28
Speaker 3: It's one of those Roman philosophers.
00:14:31
Speaker 1: But I'm always amazed that they were so wise and still their wisdom is still applicable today.
00:14:37
Speaker 3: That kind of blows my mind.
00:14:38
Speaker 2: It blows my mind. We still have the same problem, but just human beings have had the same problem we do for ever that we're still trying to work out.
00:14:47
Speaker 1: All right, So we got to keep trying, right, So step into uncertainty. If you fail, you gain wisdom. If you win, you gain a new life. And with that everyone, we hope you have a wonderful Friday.
