Speaker 1: Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio podcast. Hey there everybody, and welcome to your Tuesday Morning run.
00:00:09
Speaker 2: Yes it is July seventh. I'm Amy Robock and.
00:00:13
Speaker 3: I'm TJ Holmes.
00:00:14
Speaker 4: And maybe we should have gone with Love Island last night instead of watching watching.
00:00:19
Speaker 1: Worlds like that would have been the better choice because I was checking in with my daughters who were not watching the USA play in the World Cup instead. No, they were watching Love Island and they seem to be having a much better time than we really.
00:00:33
Speaker 2: Yeah they did.
00:00:34
Speaker 3: Oh man, that just sucked.
00:00:37
Speaker 4: Here we are, boy, we got a big old heap of humble pie last night against Belgium.
00:00:44
Speaker 3: Good morning, and we will start there.
00:00:46
Speaker 4: After all that back and forth, all that controversy, all that red card stuff involving Trump robes, this was hard to watch.
00:00:53
Speaker 3: The USA is officially out of the World Cup.
00:00:56
Speaker 2: We didn't look good.
00:00:57
Speaker 1: We just didn't from start to finish, and it was tough. I don't know if there was a mental aspect to that or if we were just purely physically.
00:01:07
Speaker 2: Skill wise outmatched.
00:01:09
Speaker 4: It's sure look that way, and that is what is being talked about plenty this morning. This was I said humble pie, and this was humbling. But in a lot of ways, Rose, this was embarrassing. This was a time where you're at the World Cup, this is the biggest stage, and we did not look competitive. We didn't look like we belonged on the same field with Belgium, which is a world class team, world class program, with world class players who've been doing this for a long time on a big stage. Rose, the US just feels like we're so far behind those other countries.
00:01:43
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know what, Look, you had said this yesterday.
00:01:46
Speaker 1: We did several updates and episodes because of the constantly changing headlines regarding the red card in Trump's involvement and FIFA's decision. You had even said, the best case scenario, honestly, for world peace in this World Cup is for us not to win. And look, I don't think anyone wanted to lose the way we lost last night, and certainly we wanted to win.
00:02:08
Speaker 2: Let's be honest here, we guess we were.
00:02:10
Speaker 1: We were absolutely rooting for team you say, but yeah, Belgium has to feel pretty good about this because they beat us handily.
00:02:19
Speaker 2: They spanked us, even with our best guy on the field.
00:02:22
Speaker 4: See, what's the best way to put it, four to one was the final score, because you were not watching four to one.
00:02:27
Speaker 3: In football terms.
00:02:29
Speaker 2: What is that like, that's a blowout.
00:02:31
Speaker 3: Forty five to three.
00:02:32
Speaker 4: This is like, it's just an enormous, insurmountable type of thing, four to one.
00:02:38
Speaker 3: But here's the thing, Robes.
00:02:39
Speaker 4: The one only happened because of a deflection by one of the Belgian players. So it's not off his head, oh his head that changed the direction of the ball and threw off the goalkeeper. What I'm saying is it wasn't a pure score either. That was the only thing, Robes, that gave us a shot and hope, because what we were down two?
00:02:58
Speaker 3: Was it one to one? At the time, it was one.
00:03:00
Speaker 1: For a while well one, oh, then it was one one. But almost immediately, yes, they scored another goal.
00:03:05
Speaker 3: As soon as we thought, okay, we're gonna be okay.
00:03:07
Speaker 1: We tied for like maybe two minutes, and then they were ahead. And then that last goal was just like adding insult to injury.
00:03:14
Speaker 3: Oh boykku right, not total Joel.
00:03:18
Speaker 4: But so this discussions are going on now and they continue to happen, Robes about what happens to USA soccer because folks are being tired of being told every ten years, the.
00:03:30
Speaker 3: Future is bright, the future is bright.
00:03:33
Speaker 4: Robes, we had experienced guys, talented guys.
00:03:37
Speaker 3: They went out and bought an expensive coach.
00:03:39
Speaker 4: You have home country advantage, and even the President of the United States stepped in to help you out. And you do that four to one in the most arguably most important game in US men's soccer history. It was a dud and a disappointment.
00:03:57
Speaker 2: Robes.
00:03:58
Speaker 3: We have our hats off to them. We're proud them. It gave us something to root for and cheer for. We had in the back of our heads all of us, could we.
00:04:04
Speaker 1: Possibly, could we just get to the quarterfinals?
00:04:11
Speaker 3: Quarter five?
00:04:13
Speaker 4: Howix, I was already telling you we might need to consider going to LA because they're gonna have to play Spain in LA for the next game. If they win, Rose, that would be off the charts one with that game could have been so to Belgium.
00:04:27
Speaker 3: They looked great, Rose. You saw the dance at the end.
00:04:31
Speaker 4: If you haven't seen the video, folks, they did get in their shots to President Trump. At the end of the game, team gathered around they did the Trump dance.
00:04:41
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, y y, yes.
00:04:43
Speaker 4: They rubbed it in and it's being talked about once again, which was talked about recently at Madison Square Garden. Trump shows up and they lose. It's called the Trump curse robes where he shows up to athletic events, sporting events and that team just crumbles. Oh yeah, yes, and now Trump curse is being talking about.
00:05:02
Speaker 1: All right, Well, there's another problem in politics for another politician. We're talking about Democrat Graham Platner. He is being urged by members of his own party to get out of the Senate race in Maine after a woman has now come forward accusing him of rape.
00:05:21
Speaker 3: Jinny Rascott is her name. She's been doing on camera interviews with a couple of networks. Now.
00:05:27
Speaker 4: She dated Platner and claims that he forced her to have sex in twenty twenty one. Her claim is that he was drunk one night, forced himself into her home and that year and violated quote multiple layers of consent.
00:05:40
Speaker 1: Now Platner has denied the allegation. He actually went on camera posted a video saying any accusation of non consensual behavior is categorically false. He did stop short though, of dropping out of the race, and staid He's taking time, he says, to consider his path forward. Meantime, Yes, the cries or the calls for him to drop out of the race are growing by the hour.
00:06:06
Speaker 4: I will hear from him his camp something today. This cannot sit and certainly can't wait till the weekend. Continuing on the Run here now, we turned to Idaho, where a mom there claimed her eighteen month old twins died after being given vaccines. She is now being charged with murder.
00:06:23
Speaker 1: Her name is Andrea Shaw, and she is facing two counts of first degree murder. Prosecutors are accusing her of suffocating her own twins. This happened in May of last year. She claimed, including in an interview, that she found her twins dead days after they had gotten several vaccines, including the flu vaccine.
00:06:45
Speaker 4: Yeah, this was something a part of some anti vax group online was doing the show and she sat down and told this whole story. She is now being held on two million dollars bond. She's suspected to appear.
00:06:54
Speaker 3: In court again on July fourteenth.
00:06:57
Speaker 1: All right, Next up on the Run, Charlie Kirk's parents and his widow, Erica Kirk, were for the first time in the very same courtroom yesterday as the man accused of killing Kirk Tyler Robinson's preliminary hearing got underway yesterday. The judge is now winging the evidence against him and will ultimately decide if it's enough to go to try. No.
00:07:18
Speaker 4: We mentioned Erica Kirk and the Charlie Kirk's parents were in the courtroom, but Donald Trump Junior was in attendance yesterday as well. The hearing expected the last all week. Robinson is facing the death penalty. Continuing on the run here now police robes. We were just talking about this days ago, and police are once again urging people check the back seat when you get out of the car, and especially now robes with this heat waves still happening.
00:07:41
Speaker 2: This is so disheartening.
00:07:43
Speaker 1: Yes, we did a whole episode on this, just because this is that time of year, and yet now it's happened once again. A two year old has died after being left in the car. Once again. Happened in Hallandale Beach, Florida. This is the last one. Last week was in Florida as well. Now, police did not release a lot of details about what happened, but they did say that the child was in the care of a babysitter at the time of death.
00:08:10
Speaker 4: And we did, like you said, Rosie did kind of a deep dive in all these numbers, and we found out the overwhelming the majority of these things happened when it's there in the care of a caregiver, of babysitter, of parents, and when they're being dropped off for childcare. Like half of them have happened when child care is involved. This is the tenth hot car death of the year. The other one you were talking about robes Plantation, Florida. That was the dad who went to work all day and didn't even realize he didn't stop and drop his kid off in the morning.
00:08:41
Speaker 2: His other child had stayed back from daycare.
00:08:44
Speaker 1: And so yes, you've got those rear facing seats, and it's just it's easier than you think.
00:08:49
Speaker 2: And the biggest, biggest threat is that folks don't think it can happen to them.
00:08:54
Speaker 1: And so yes, we don't know if charges will be filed against this babysitter.
00:08:59
Speaker 2: But yeah, we're in a heat.
00:09:01
Speaker 1: Wave down south. I think, yeah, I think, I know. It finally broke here in the Northeast. But it doesn't even take that hot of a temperature. We read reports there was a case where it was only sixty eight degrees outside and yet after a certain period of time, the temperature rises in that car.
00:09:18
Speaker 2: So please, please, please everyone.
00:09:20
Speaker 1: Use this as a tragic cautionary tale.
00:09:23
Speaker 4: It's low nineties, humidity is at ninety percent and you know what that feels.
00:09:29
Speaker 1: Yes, and the depths happen usually within the first thirty minutes. That's how quickly the temperature rises in a car, and lowering those windows does not help.
00:09:38
Speaker 4: All right, We'll stay with us folks on this Tuesday morning run. When we come back, the voice behind one of the biggest rock party rock anthems, I should say, has died at the age of thirty seven. Also coming up, a big change is coming to Hollywood. A new actress is all in the block and even.
00:10:00
Speaker 1: Real Welcome back to your Tuesday morning run and next up on the run, this is a sad and kind of mysterio. What it is a mysterious story right now because we don't have many details at all. We just know that the voice behind party rock anthem has died at the young age of thirty seven.
00:10:26
Speaker 4: Lauren Bennett is her name, and yes, probably best known for providing the vocals on the LMFAO twenty eleven hit Now no cause of death was given and rose we go by, how long was that song?
00:10:39
Speaker 3: Your?
00:10:40
Speaker 4: Fifteen years? She was that young when that song came out. Wow, But thirty seven, no cause of death, no indications so far. Let's say she was best known Robes for that song. But she had a career and she was in a couple of girl groups and was.
00:10:56
Speaker 3: Working and was always working as a singer. And thirty seven, what is going on?
00:11:00
Speaker 2: So incredibly sad?
00:11:01
Speaker 4: But what a song That song was everywhere. It's stayed everywhere to the point of annoyance for a couple of years.
00:11:06
Speaker 1: Because now it's an earworm in my head right now because it is it's catchy.
00:11:09
Speaker 2: It's catchy.
00:11:10
Speaker 1: Put you in a good mood, though, And for the final leg of our run, this is not sitting well with a lot of actors. I can only imagine why, because this is deeply concerning.
00:11:22
Speaker 2: Is there an.
00:11:22
Speaker 1: AI takeover of Hollywood emerging beginning? Because yes, that controversial actress, we've all seen her video, it's so creepy. Her name is Tilly Norwood. And apparently Tilly is going to make her big screen debut in a film titled miss a Line.
00:11:44
Speaker 4: Yes, it's coming to us from the same company that created Tilly Norwood in the first place. Tilly Norwood is an AI actor.
00:11:51
Speaker 3: Is this the first?
00:11:51
Speaker 4: I think this was the first produced certainly of this level. But I was unveiled last year, and of course Hollywood went crazy. People have been trying chiming in and think, are you actually trying to replace eventually human actors? Yes, this is concerning, but this is just the beginning ropes.
00:12:09
Speaker 2: Oh, this is so creepy to me.
00:12:12
Speaker 1: This does not like I actually feel like my stomach kind of does flip summer because it's just there's something so unsettling about that.
00:12:23
Speaker 4: There's a place for it, though, isn't it If we talk about replacing a human actor, Are you really going to replace the Tom Cruise and that kind of a thing is what I think you can ever do that.
00:12:31
Speaker 1: I guess what makes it concerning to me because obviously we have cartoons, we have animation, we have things where we you know, I guess they're voiced by real actors. But the idea that we don't know, I think that's what's scary to me, that it can be such a deep fake, this AI. We've seen it now all over social media, just in posts. You can't trust anything you see. You don't know what's real and what's not. And that is what is disturbing to me.
00:12:54
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm with you on that. I can't make that.
00:12:56
Speaker 4: I'm curious to see a fully AI produced movie. I'm curious And to your that's a good way to kind of put it ropes. We watch cartoons. What if we just keep it in that category. You know, this is an AI film, it's an animated thing.
00:13:09
Speaker 1: But once you know they can do that, are you always then distrustful of what you're seeing?
00:13:14
Speaker 2: And I don't know it.
00:13:15
Speaker 1: Just it makes me feel concerned that there is no the lines are so blurred between reality and fake, and you just don't know what to trust and what's real and what's not. And that idea of that is just really unnerving to me.
00:13:31
Speaker 4: This company claims they're not trying to replace anybody, They're just trying to highlight and show what this technology can do. But yes, we've heard plenty of folks in Hollywood come out and letters have been written and then they are upset about it.
00:13:42
Speaker 3: But then you've hear.
00:13:43
Speaker 4: Every once in a while some other actor or producer will come out and say we need to embrace or sound a little more open to AI in Hollywood.
00:13:49
Speaker 2: Ooof all right, well how about this.
00:13:52
Speaker 1: We will leave you with our quote of the day on this Tuesday, coming to us from one of my.
00:13:56
Speaker 2: Faves, Marcus Aurelius.
00:13:58
Speaker 1: What are you a fre afraid of losing when nothing in this world belongs to you?
00:14:05
Speaker 3: All right, Marcus, it's a different time now, sir. All this stuff is mine. They get what we're saying.
00:14:13
Speaker 4: We get, we means, I mean, we're all on frankly borrowed time anyway, and all of this stuff is going to go to somebody else. What are you talking about? What are we trying to protect? What are we worried about losing? Ain't none of it is mine?
00:14:25
Speaker 2: Yeah, we get.
00:14:26
Speaker 1: Look, we all get obsessed with like and I'm all about taking care of what we have, but like you know, whatever, you break a glass, your your car gets a dent, and it's we get so upset about all these little things and none of it's ours actually anyway. So I just love that ultimate perspective. What are you afraid of losing? When nothing in this world belongs to you. It's permission to just let things be what they are, where they are.
00:14:52
Speaker 2: I love it.
00:14:53
Speaker 1: We don't own or possess a thing, and with that everyone, we always appreciate you listening to us.
00:14:59
Speaker 2: I made robots and.
00:15:00
Speaker 3: I'm t J. Holmes. Run soon. Mhm, mhm.

00:00:44
Speaker 3: Good morning, and we will start there.
00:00:46
Speaker 4: After all that back and forth, all that controversy, all that red card stuff involving Trump robes, this was hard to watch.
00:00:53
Speaker 3: The USA is officially out of the World Cup.
00:00:56
Speaker 2: We didn't look good.
00:00:57
Speaker 1: We just didn't from start to finish, and it was tough. I don't know if there was a mental aspect to that or if we were just purely physically.
00:01:07
Speaker 2: Skill wise outmatched.
00:01:09

Speaker 4: And we did, like you said, Rosie did kind of a deep dive in all these numbers, and we found out the overwhelming the majority of these things happened when it's there in the care of a caregiver, of babysitter, of parents, and when they're being dropped off for childcare. Like half of them have happened when child care is involved. This is the tenth hot car death of the year. The other one you were talking about robes Plantation, Florida. That was the dad who went to work all day and didn't even realize he didn't stop and drop his kid off in the morning.
00:08:41
Speaker 2: His other child had stayed back from daycare.
00:08:44
Speaker 1: And so yes, you've got those rear facing seats, and it's just it's easier than you think.
00:08:49
Speaker 2: And the biggest, biggest threat is that folks don't think it can happen to them.
00:08:54
Speaker 1: And so yes, we don't know if charges will be filed against this babysitter.
00:08:59
Speaker 2: But yeah, we're in a heat.
00:09:01
Speaker 1: Wave down south. I think, yeah, I think, I know. It finally broke here in the Northeast. But it doesn't even take that hot of a temperature. We read reports there was a case where it was only sixty eight degrees outside and yet after a certain period of time, the temperature rises in that car.
00:09:18
Speaker 2: So please, please, please everyone.
00:09:20
Speaker 1: Use this as a tragic cautionary tale.
00:09:23
Speaker 4: It's low nineties, humidity is at ninety percent and you know what that feels.
00:09:29
Speaker 1: Yes, and the depths happen usually within the first thirty minutes. That's how quickly the temperature rises in a car, and lowering those windows does not help.
00:09:38
Speaker 4: All right, We'll stay with us folks on this Tuesday morning run. When we come back, the voice behind one of the biggest rock party rock anthems, I should say, has died at the age of thirty seven. Also coming up, a big change is coming to Hollywood. A new actress is all in the block and even.
00:10:00
Speaker 1: Real Welcome back to your Tuesday morning run and next up on the run, this is a sad and kind of mysterio. What it is a mysterious story right now because we don't have many details at all. We just know that the voice behind party rock anthem has died at the young age of thirty seven.
00:10:26
Speaker 4: Lauren Bennett is her name, and yes, probably best known for providing the vocals on the LMFAO twenty eleven hit Now no cause of death was given and rose we go by, how long was that song?
00:10:39
Speaker 3: Your?
00:10:40
Speaker 4: Fifteen years? She was that young when that song came out. Wow, But thirty seven, no cause of death, no indications so far. Let's say she was best known Robes for that song. But she had a career and she was in a couple of girl groups and was.
00:10:56
Speaker 3: Working and was always working as a singer. And thirty seven, what is going on?
00:11:00
Speaker 2: So incredibly sad?
00:11:01
Speaker 4: But what a song That song was everywhere. It's stayed everywhere to the point of annoyance for a couple of years.
00:11:06
Speaker 1: Because now it's an earworm in my head right now because it is it's catchy.
00:11:09
Speaker 2: It's catchy.
00:11:10
Speaker 1: Put you in a good mood, though, And for the final leg of our run, this is not sitting well with a lot of actors. I can only imagine why, because this is deeply concerning.
00:11:22
Speaker 2: Is there an.
00:11:22
Speaker 1: AI takeover of Hollywood emerging beginning? Because yes, that controversial actress, we've all seen her video, it's so creepy. Her name is Tilly Norwood. And apparently Tilly is going to make her big screen debut in a film titled miss a Line.
00:11:44
Speaker 4: Yes, it's coming to us from the same company that created Tilly Norwood in the first place. Tilly Norwood is an AI actor.
00:11:51
Speaker 3: Is this the first?
00:11:51
Speaker 4: I think this was the first produced certainly of this level. But I was unveiled last year, and of course Hollywood went crazy. People have been trying chiming in and think, are you actually trying to replace eventually human actors? Yes, this is concerning, but this is just the beginning ropes.
00:12:09
Speaker 2: Oh, this is so creepy to me.
00:12:12
Speaker 1: This does not like I actually feel like my stomach kind of does flip summer because it's just there's something so unsettling about that.
00:12:23
Speaker 4: There's a place for it, though, isn't it If we talk about replacing a human actor, Are you really going to replace the Tom Cruise and that kind of a thing is what I think you can ever do that.
00:12:31
Speaker 1: I guess what makes it concerning to me because obviously we have cartoons, we have animation, we have things where we you know, I guess they're voiced by real actors. But the idea that we don't know, I think that's what's scary to me, that it can be such a deep fake, this AI. We've seen it now all over social media, just in posts. You can't trust anything you see. You don't know what's real and what's not. And that is what is disturbing to me.
00:12:54
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm with you on that. I can't make that.
00:12:56
Speaker 4: I'm curious to see a fully AI produced movie. I'm curious And to your that's a good way to kind of put it ropes. We watch cartoons. What if we just keep it in that category. You know, this is an AI film, it's an animated thing.
00:13:09
Speaker 1: But once you know they can do that, are you always then distrustful of what you're seeing?
00:13:14
Speaker 2: And I don't know it.
00:13:15
Speaker 1: Just it makes me feel concerned that there is no the lines are so blurred between reality and fake, and you just don't know what to trust and what's real and what's not. And that idea of that is just really unnerving to me.
00:13:31
Speaker 4: This company claims they're not trying to replace anybody, They're just trying to highlight and show what this technology can do. But yes, we've heard plenty of folks in Hollywood come out and letters have been written and then they are upset about it.
00:13:42
Speaker 3: But then you've hear.
00:13:43
Speaker 4: Every once in a while some other actor or producer will come out and say we need to embrace or sound a little more open to AI in Hollywood.
00:13:49
Speaker 2: Ooof all right, well how about this.
00:13:52
Speaker 1: We will leave you with our quote of the day on this Tuesday, coming to us from one of my.
00:13:56
Speaker 2: Faves, Marcus Aurelius.
00:13:58
Speaker 1: What are you a fre afraid of losing when nothing in this world belongs to you?
00:14:05
Speaker 3: All right, Marcus, it's a different time now, sir. All this stuff is mine. They get what we're saying.
00:14:13
Speaker 4: We get, we means, I mean, we're all on frankly borrowed time anyway, and all of this stuff is going to go to somebody else. What are you talking about? What are we trying to protect? What are we worried about losing? Ain't none of it is mine?
00:14:25
Speaker 2: Yeah, we get.
00:14:26
Speaker 1: Look, we all get obsessed with like and I'm all about taking care of what we have, but like you know, whatever, you break a glass, your your car gets a dent, and it's we get so upset about all these little things and none of it's ours actually anyway. So I just love that ultimate perspective. What are you afraid of losing? When nothing in this world belongs to you. It's permission to just let things be what they are, where they are.
00:14:52
Speaker 2: I love it.
00:14:53
Speaker 1: We don't own or possess a thing, and with that everyone, we always appreciate you listening to us.
