Speaker 1: Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast. Hey there, everybody, and welcome to Morning Run. It is Tuesday, June sixteenth.
00:00:10
Speaker 2: I'm Amy Robots and I'm TJ Holmes.
00:00:14
Speaker 3: Are you sure about that?
00:00:14
Speaker 2: Well? I paused because I'm not sure the day, who I am or the location. We're on the move. We've made our way to another European town where we enjoyed World Cup again.
00:00:24
Speaker 1: Yes, we were in Brussels. What a cute, medieval, just awesome town. I love the architecture and enjoyed the French fries immensely.
00:00:36
Speaker 2: Yes, but we enjoyed World Cup. We got to see Belgium play last night again didn't go great.
00:00:42
Speaker 3: You know what's crazy?
00:00:43
Speaker 1: Four World Cup games played yesterday, correct, and all four were Hi? Yeah that I mean, I guess that's interesting. It doesn't make the games that interesting sometimes, but.
00:00:57
Speaker 2: It makes the group stage interesting because now Spain that was expecting to get a point tied with Cape Bear day, you had Belgium that was expecting might be to get a point tied as well. So now the big dogs and some of the groups have to maybe fight to get out of those groups. So this makes it okay more interesting. But yes, we're going from Brussels now moving on to our next European city. We'll let you know, but we are on our way to watch some more World Cup here in Europe. But we're going to be making stops. We're starting, yes, in Brussels, but the morning run is going to take us to the Mahabi Desert, to California, to the UK, to Fiji, also to the National Mall this morning. As we continue to run. We don't stop running. Bro is there ever, we don't do it on the weekends, but morning run we not a whole lot stops us from doing this Monday through Friday.
00:01:46
Speaker 3: I don't know.
00:01:47
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think maybe one day New Year's Day might be the only day that we did not put up a morning run in almost two years.
00:01:55
Speaker 3: Wow, it's pretty impressive.
00:01:57
Speaker 2: All right, Well, we will continue to run with you as we are on vacation kind of sort of, but we need to start on this run. Robes with what should be enormous news.
00:02:07
Speaker 1: Yes, there is an agreement, according to the President, and it's been signed, according to the President, but we just don't know exactly what was signed or agreed to.
00:02:16
Speaker 2: Yes, there's still some confusion. It seems some disagreement and even some mystery about exactly what the US and Iran have agreed to. But we're told there is an agreement. There is an official signing ceremony schedule to take place on Friday in Geneva. Robes. They say the deal has already been signed. They did it digitally in some way.
00:02:37
Speaker 3: All doc you sign, Okay, So that's hilarious, that's.
00:02:42
Speaker 2: What they said. Did they send it back and say you forgot this tap.
00:02:45
Speaker 3: Because that's what we always inficials here.
00:02:47
Speaker 2: But yes, they say it's been signed and that's why it's been signed. But still there's an official signing ceremony we're supposed to.
00:02:52
Speaker 3: See on from Okay.
00:02:53
Speaker 1: One thing the President has said for sure that's been agreed to is the opening of the Strait of Horn Moves, and Vice President Advance says the US will release the full details of the agreement this week. But when it comes to the Strait of Horror Moves, I did get a little bit of a chuckle this morning when I read the headline that Iran said it will no longer impose tolls for ships passing through the Strait of Horror Moves, but there will be fees.
00:03:15
Speaker 2: Yeah, we won't call them tolls because that will be illegal on an international law. But there'll be a fee.
00:03:23
Speaker 1: I mean, you've got I guess if that is what the US has been dealing with in terms of trying to come to an agreement, I can understand why it might have taken a while.
00:03:31
Speaker 2: This is the most high level contract negotiation we've all been through. A lot of us have, certainly the business we're in. A bunch of contract negotiations, dealt with a bunch of lawyers, a bunch of groups, ropes, you know, on small stuff in our lives. These things go back and forth and take forever. On this level. Yes, I bet words they matter. Fees and tolls made it difference.
00:03:49
Speaker 3: Apparently all right.
00:03:51
Speaker 1: Next up on the run, a B fifty two bomber crash during a test flight yesterday. This is incredibly sad, killing all eight people on board.
00:04:02
Speaker 2: This was yesterday morning at Edward's Air Force based in southern California. The plane had just taken off before crashing down onto the runway. Some of the video you can see world did is a huge black plume of smoke going up in the southern California skies. And again it had just taken off in ropes. Even before they were able to go and really fully investigate what was happening. The military put out a statement and used the word unsurvivable about this scrap.
00:04:26
Speaker 1: It exploded the entire plane and the cause right now remains under investigation. Next up on the run, the sixteen year old accused of sexually assaulting and killing his own stepsister on a carnival cruise has been taken into federal custody and he's going to have to stay behind bars until his trial. Timothy Hudson has been charged with Anna Kepner's murder and was initially allowed to stay with family while he awaited trial.
00:04:53
Speaker 2: Judge recently found though, that the court could not quote reasonably assure the safety of the community going going forward if Hudson were to remain out of jail Ropes. He had some pretty strong words. We were speaking about this earlier. He was even got close to calling this get a psychopath, yes, base.
00:05:11
Speaker 1: On his baby, yes, and Hudson. So he was taken into custody yesterday. He is pleaded not guilty. He was if you remember traveling with his family, including his stepsister, on that carnival cruise. Last November, eighteen year old Keepner was found dead in her cabin. Her body was tucked under a bed with blankets and life jackets covering her. She died by asphyxiation. She was sexually assaulted, prosecutors say, by her own step brother.
00:05:36
Speaker 3: So his trial is in September.
00:05:39
Speaker 1: And by the way, we're going to do a full episode on this because you have got to hear what the judge said in this case, his words, He wrote this whole order and it's chilling to hear what the judge says about this young man.
00:05:53
Speaker 2: All Right, we continue you on the run here on this Tuesday morning, and Gavin Newsom, you're up next. Yes, it's his turn to get the Trump DOJ treatment, the California governor claims, and multiple media outlets are reporting robes at the Department of Justice is investigating California Governor Democrat Gavin Newsom and his wife.
00:06:13
Speaker 1: Uh Newsom said in a video he posted on social media that agents have been contacting people affiliated with the Newsoms.
00:06:19
Speaker 3: He called it a fishing expedition, and he says that it.
00:06:22
Speaker 1: Looks as though it appears as though the investigation is focused on his wife they're going through their finances. I mean this is intimidation. Look, this is the guy who is expected to be possibly the Democratic nominee for president in twenty twenty eight. Certainly running, he's certainly running, and he is a front runner. But this is alarming if true.
00:06:48
Speaker 2: So yeah, there is a list of folks, Jerome Powell among them, Letitia James among them, James Komy among them that some will tell you the president has sent the doj after.
00:07:01
Speaker 1: Which is completely not the separation of powers that are founding fathers based our entire democracy on all right.
00:07:10
Speaker 3: Next up on the.
00:07:11
Speaker 1: Run, the UK has announced plans to ban social media for anyone under the age of sixteen.
00:07:18
Speaker 3: I love this.
00:07:19
Speaker 2: We're moving.
00:07:21
Speaker 3: I love it.
00:07:21
Speaker 2: I get three three more years of not having the use social media. It would be awesome. Yes. The Prime Minister, Keir Starmer said the ban would go further than any other band in the world and will include blocks on live streaming and stranger interaction. He says he hopes to get the band approved by Parliament by the end of this year. Hope to have it in place, he said by next spring. But more and more countries are starting to look into.
00:07:44
Speaker 1: This Australia did it back in December of twenty twenty five, and did I see Malaysia was also doing it. I mean there are some other countries that are doing this as well. Yeah, because they get it. This is a wonder I don't like bands. Most people don't like bands. This is a wonderful band.
00:08:02
Speaker 2: You don't remember though, when when it went in place in Australia, Like that same day, kids were posting how they were.
00:08:08
Speaker 1: Able to get here, they were able to get around firewalls or whatever. Yes, because kids are smart and savvy, way more than we are, all right. Next up on the run an executive producer of Love Island. This is a shocking headline that producer has died while shooting in Fiji. According to the network, James Barker suffered what they're calling an unexpected medical emergency during filming and he died actually last week. He'd been with the show since twenty twenty. He was only forty years old. This is incredibly sad and sudden and shocking.
00:08:43
Speaker 2: You know how that's got to feel for that ooh staph. You're there in Fiji together, that's a tight knit traveling together and that has to beta with all the stuff coming out of that show and how they've been riding high for a bunch of years, or that's a tough hit for them to for them to have to take. We'll stay with us here on this Tuesday morning run. When we come back a celebrity breakup I didn't see coming, maybe y'all did. We will explain why one of the biggest stars in country music is calling it quits with his wife. Also, the country's big two hundred and fiftieth and a first three birthday party coming up this summer. We just found out it's actually going to be a Trump rally. Also, speaking of that rally, Roves, the President's been pretty excited about cleaning up the reflection pool.
00:09:31
Speaker 3: This is my favorite story of the entire day, and.
00:09:33
Speaker 2: I'll leave it there. Stay with us, all right, We continue here on this Tuesday morning run from Brussels, Belgium, and robes this next story. I don't want to say no. Nobody likes to hear somebody say I told you so, But we had to see this one coming.
00:09:56
Speaker 1: Absolutely, So the country's two hundred fiftieth birthday celebration is now officially just another Trump rally.
00:10:02
Speaker 3: You called this from the beginning.
00:10:04
Speaker 2: It's heartbreaking. Baby is two hundred and fifty years and we can't Half of the country is not invited to a celebration by the president, half of the country.
00:10:18
Speaker 1: Which is exactly the opposite of the spirit of a celebration of a country called the United States of America.
00:10:28
Speaker 2: Two fifty man, that's a big number. We should be all a part of this. But yes, what we're talking about. The President has made the announcement that it's going to be a huge Trump rally in ropes. Let's read this. I don't want to characterize what he said this. These are his exact words in announcing what's going to happen on the fourth of July.
00:10:48
Speaker 1: On July fourth, at the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument in beautiful and safe Washington, d C. We are going to host the most spectacular Trump rally of them all, a tribute to America. Starting its seven pm Eastern time. This huge celebration will honor our country's people's spirit, strength, resolve, and triumphs with the backdrop of the Lincoln Memorial and the surrounding beautifully new reflecting pool, which we'll get to in just a second. More than three hundred members of our strong and talented military bands, orchestra and ceremonial units will perform patriotic melodies and American classics and my playlist. We will have none of those people that put you to sleep and constantly complain. Wow, okay, he goes on to say, as we celebrate our country and rally into the next two hundred and fifty years, this ensemble will be the largest formation of joint military music and ceremonial performances in history. There will be incredible flyovers and air shows featuring our top military pilots and equipment, and I will deliver keynote remarks that you will not want to miss. To conclude the program and commemorate this historic occasion, I will be launching what will be the largest fire work show in history right here in our nation's capital.
00:12:04
Speaker 3: Do not miss it. See you on July fourth in Washington, d C.
00:12:08
Speaker 4: What do you make of it, It's just it's it's more of him talking about him, and that's what we're gonna get from him on the rally, about all the things he's done.
00:12:19
Speaker 3: And so yeah, it's not a celebration of our country. It's a celebration of him.
00:12:22
Speaker 2: It just doesn't feel like it. It's it's that's too bad. I don't want to be just it just feels it just feels wrong here. This isn't even yes, we expect it fine. Just is nothing. This is like a big celebration for the country, and it's like it's it's dividing us. I say it is. Maybe he is, but why oh we can't get together on anything.
00:12:49
Speaker 3: Well, we can at least have a little laugh right now.
00:12:52
Speaker 2: This is okay. Go back to his line and his it's about the reflecting fool. Here it is with the backdrop of the Lincoln Memorial and surrounding the beautifully new reflecting pool. That's what he wrote. The reflecting pool ain't reflecting so good? No, mo, No, it's green again, yes, which is how it's been for almost one hundred years.
00:13:12
Speaker 1: Yes, there's a picture I can't remember where. It's just it's hilarious. It is the greenest green, the ugliest, like Kermit the frog green.
00:13:19
Speaker 3: You could possibly get.
00:13:21
Speaker 2: No offense to Kermit. But yes, the reflecting pool on the National Mall, the one that Trump just had renovated for fourteen million, the one that the president has been bragging about and showing off and posting about and is so proud of Rhodes. That pool is not beautiful American flag blue right now else is green.
00:13:42
Speaker 1: The algae that plagued the pool for well one hundred years has returned. President Trump, yes, has touted his stewardship and getting that pool repaired, having the surface painted Yes, American flag blue. He wanted the work completed in time for Yeah, the big two hundred and fiftieth anniversary.
00:14:00
Speaker 3: He fixed the leaks, they fixed the algae issue.
00:14:02
Speaker 1: So they said, yeah, Interior Department is saying, this is all just part of the process.
00:14:08
Speaker 3: It's just dead algae built up from the repair work. It's going to be gone soon. And that might be the case, and they got to get the pool people back.
00:14:15
Speaker 2: But the problem that there's no chlorine in a it's just a big lake essentially, is what they're saying. It's essentially trying to kill. How are you going to clean a big hole.
00:14:24
Speaker 3: They're gonna have to chlorinate the pool like weekly. They're gonna have to have the folks come in and do the pool work.
00:14:30
Speaker 2: Well, it's been there since nineteen twenty two, it's had algae since nineteen twenty two.
00:14:35
Speaker 3: It's hilarious.
00:14:37
Speaker 2: Thanks time. Did do you see this one coming? Some? This was a shot shut? This really sad. Okay, I didn't know about this.
00:14:43
Speaker 3: This was sad and shy.
00:14:44
Speaker 1: And I know they've been on again off again, but it seemed like they were really going strong. We're talking about jelly Roll. Jelly Roll has filed for divorce from his wife, Bunny XO. The couple met back in twenty fifteen. They married the following year in a secret Vegas wedding, and they even renewed their va in twenty twenty three. Then back in February, do you remember jelly Roll praising his wife at the Grammys. He credited her with changing his life, with saving his life. He said, I would have been dead if it were not for my wife and Jesus.
00:15:15
Speaker 3: And so I don't know what happened.
00:15:17
Speaker 1: We don't know what happened, but they are officially calling it quits.
00:15:22
Speaker 2: Uh, I didn't say, But she has been so much as part of his story along the way. So I mean, these things happen. Who knows what was happening behind the scenes, But I hate to see it.
00:15:32
Speaker 1: Oh, I do too, all right? And for the final leg of our run. Anyone else who loves Love Island the way we do, well, you don't have to watch it on your small screen anymore.
00:15:41
Speaker 3: You can head straight to the theaters.
00:15:43
Speaker 1: There is going to be a special screening on June twenty second. This is brilliant of the Kasa a Moore episode. The Kasa a More episode is always a game changer in the Love Island saga.
00:15:59
Speaker 2: This is too much? We don't it's why is it too much? Well, you know what, It's going to be communal people don't want to watch it together.
00:16:04
Speaker 1: And that's everybody can scream and ooh and ah because if you all don't follow Love Island. So everyone couples up. There's drama in the villa as people. They bring in bombshells to try and mess up couples. But what the big switcheroo is about? Halfway through, when people are all loved up and feeling good about their relationships, they send all the boys over to another resort called Casa Amar, filled with hot girls to pair up with. Then they spend some time with them and they can decide whether or not they want to bring back one of those girls with them. Basically, uncoupling with the girl they're with back in Love Island, and the girls meantime have a bunch of guys come to the villa and they can choose whether or not to stay with them. So it just creates a ton of drama. So how fun to watch that in the theater with everyone else who is just as invested as you are.
00:16:54
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna sit this one out. You know what, if Sabine says she wanted to go, you know, if Sabine says she would.
00:17:00
Speaker 3: Let's go, it'll be let's go.
00:17:02
Speaker 2: Let's not.
00:17:03
Speaker 3: Okay, we'll see what.
00:17:03
Speaker 2: Happened if the thing he wants to go, that's the only way, all right.
00:17:06
Speaker 3: I'll work on Sabine, okay.
00:17:08
Speaker 2: And if anybody know, I don't know if people heard the phone ringing in the background here, We told you all we are on the move. We are actually recording from a hotel room in beautiful Brussels right now. And if you heard a short time ago, I had to put the mic down when Rhodes was reading the President's tweet because our phone was ringing and it was room service robes, and I didn't tell you what the problem was. They wanted to let us know that the bottle of champagne, oh prosecco that we ordered, they don't have, and instead they ordered they do have champagne. Oh asked if that was going to be okay, how much is it? I was gonna say just yes, but then we got into a back and forth or whether or not how dry it was, if it was a brute champagne is dry, okay, But in the middle of this recording.
00:17:51
Speaker 3: How dry it is the champagne you got? That is funny? So what happened are we getting?
00:18:00
Speaker 2: We're getting it? Idea? How much it costs?
00:18:02
Speaker 3: Oh, that's great. You didn't ask that.
00:18:05
Speaker 2: I think she tried to offer. I think there was a reason she wanted to tell me how much it was.
00:18:10
Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll get it, okay, all right, I am a quote of the day. Well I had it and then I lost it, so I got it back. Well I'm going to just go to another one. All right.
00:18:19
Speaker 1: Here it is your quote of the day on this Tuesday. The highest form of peace is having no desire to be seen, validated, or understood by anyone. Yeah that's a tough and tall order, but yes, that would give you peace. No desire to be seen, validated or understood by anyone, so we can all work on our own peace by not being invested, I guess in the outcome. And with that, everyone, thank you for running with us. I'm Amy Roebuck alongside.
00:18:49
Speaker 3: My partner t J. Holmes, who's getting the room service right now. We always appreciate you. We'll be running with you soon
Speaker 1: Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast. Hey there, everybody, and welcome to Morning Run. It is Tuesday, June sixteenth.

00:01:46
Speaker 3: I don't know.
00:01:47

Speaker 2: All Right, we continue you on the run here on this Tuesday morning, and Gavin Newsom, you're up next. Yes, it's his turn to get the Trump DOJ treatment, the California governor claims, and multiple media outlets are reporting robes at the Department of Justice is investigating California Governor Democrat Gavin Newsom and his wife.
00:06:13
Speaker 1: Uh Newsom said in a video he posted on social media that agents have been contacting people affiliated with the Newsoms.
00:06:19
Speaker 3: He called it a fishing expedition, and he says that it.
00:06:22
Speaker 1: Looks as though it appears as though the investigation is focused on his wife they're going through their finances. I mean this is intimidation. Look, this is the guy who is expected to be possibly the Democratic nominee for president in twenty twenty eight. Certainly running, he's certainly running, and he is a front runner. But this is alarming if true.
00:06:48
Speaker 2: So yeah, there is a list of folks, Jerome Powell among them, Letitia James among them, James Komy among them that some will tell you the president has sent the doj after.
00:07:01
Speaker 1: Which is completely not the separation of powers that are founding fathers based our entire democracy on all right.
00:07:10
Speaker 3: Next up on the.
00:07:11
Speaker 1: Run, the UK has announced plans to ban social media for anyone under the age of sixteen.
00:07:18
Speaker 3: I love this.
00:07:19
Speaker 2: We're moving.
00:07:21
Speaker 3: I love it.
00:07:21
Speaker 2: I get three three more years of not having the use social media. It would be awesome. Yes. The Prime Minister, Keir Starmer said the ban would go further than any other band in the world and will include blocks on live streaming and stranger interaction. He says he hopes to get the band approved by Parliament by the end of this year. Hope to have it in place, he said by next spring. But more and more countries are starting to look into.
00:07:44
Speaker 1: This Australia did it back in December of twenty twenty five, and did I see Malaysia was also doing it. I mean there are some other countries that are doing this as well. Yeah, because they get it. This is a wonder I don't like bands. Most people don't like bands. This is a wonderful band.
00:08:02
Speaker 2: You don't remember though, when when it went in place in Australia, Like that same day, kids were posting how they were.
00:08:08
Speaker 1: Able to get here, they were able to get around firewalls or whatever. Yes, because kids are smart and savvy, way more than we are, all right. Next up on the run an executive producer of Love Island. This is a shocking headline that producer has died while shooting in Fiji. According to the network, James Barker suffered what they're calling an unexpected medical emergency during filming and he died actually last week. He'd been with the show since twenty twenty. He was only forty years old. This is incredibly sad and sudden and shocking.
00:08:43
Speaker 2: You know how that's got to feel for that ooh staph. You're there in Fiji together, that's a tight knit traveling together and that has to beta with all the stuff coming out of that show and how they've been riding high for a bunch of years, or that's a tough hit for them to for them to have to take. We'll stay with us here on this Tuesday morning run. When we come back a celebrity breakup I didn't see coming, maybe y'all did. We will explain why one of the biggest stars in country music is calling it quits with his wife. Also, the country's big two hundred and fiftieth and a first three birthday party coming up this summer. We just found out it's actually going to be a Trump rally. Also, speaking of that rally, Roves, the President's been pretty excited about cleaning up the reflection pool.
00:09:31
Speaker 3: This is my favorite story of the entire day, and.
00:09:33
Speaker 2: I'll leave it there. Stay with us, all right, We continue here on this Tuesday morning run from Brussels, Belgium, and robes this next story. I don't want to say no. Nobody likes to hear somebody say I told you so, But we had to see this one coming.
00:09:56
Speaker 1: Absolutely, So the country's two hundred fiftieth birthday celebration is now officially just another Trump rally.
00:10:02
Speaker 3: You called this from the beginning.
00:10:04
Speaker 2: It's heartbreaking. Baby is two hundred and fifty years and we can't Half of the country is not invited to a celebration by the president, half of the country.
00:10:18
Speaker 1: Which is exactly the opposite of the spirit of a celebration of a country called the United States of America.
00:10:28
Speaker 2: Two fifty man, that's a big number. We should be all a part of this. But yes, what we're talking about. The President has made the announcement that it's going to be a huge Trump rally in ropes. Let's read this. I don't want to characterize what he said this. These are his exact words in announcing what's going to happen on the fourth of July.
00:10:48
Speaker 1: On July fourth, at the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument in beautiful and safe Washington, d C. We are going to host the most spectacular Trump rally of them all, a tribute to America. Starting its seven pm Eastern time. This huge celebration will honor our country's people's spirit, strength, resolve, and triumphs with the backdrop of the Lincoln Memorial and the surrounding beautifully new reflecting pool, which we'll get to in just a second. More than three hundred members of our strong and talented military bands, orchestra and ceremonial units will perform patriotic melodies and American classics and my playlist. We will have none of those people that put you to sleep and constantly complain. Wow, okay, he goes on to say, as we celebrate our country and rally into the next two hundred and fifty years, this ensemble will be the largest formation of joint military music and ceremonial performances in history. There will be incredible flyovers and air shows featuring our top military pilots and equipment, and I will deliver keynote remarks that you will not want to miss. To conclude the program and commemorate this historic occasion, I will be launching what will be the largest fire work show in history right here in our nation's capital.
00:12:04
Speaker 3: Do not miss it. See you on July fourth in Washington, d C.
00:12:08
Speaker 4: What do you make of it, It's just it's it's more of him talking about him, and that's what we're gonna get from him on the rally, about all the things he's done.
00:12:19
Speaker 3: And so yeah, it's not a celebration of our country. It's a celebration of him.
00:12:22
Speaker 2: It just doesn't feel like it. It's it's that's too bad. I don't want to be just it just feels it just feels wrong here. This isn't even yes, we expect it fine. Just is nothing. This is like a big celebration for the country, and it's like it's it's dividing us. I say it is. Maybe he is, but why oh we can't get together on anything.
00:12:49
Speaker 3: Well, we can at least have a little laugh right now.
00:12:52
Speaker 2: This is okay. Go back to his line and his it's about the reflecting fool. Here it is with the backdrop of the Lincoln Memorial and surrounding the beautifully new reflecting pool. That's what he wrote. The reflecting pool ain't reflecting so good? No, mo, No, it's green again, yes, which is how it's been for almost one hundred years.
00:13:12
Speaker 1: Yes, there's a picture I can't remember where. It's just it's hilarious. It is the greenest green, the ugliest, like Kermit the frog green.
00:13:19
Speaker 3: You could possibly get.
00:13:21
Speaker 2: No offense to Kermit. But yes, the reflecting pool on the National Mall, the one that Trump just had renovated for fourteen million, the one that the president has been bragging about and showing off and posting about and is so proud of Rhodes. That pool is not beautiful American flag blue right now else is green.
00:13:42
Speaker 1: The algae that plagued the pool for well one hundred years has returned. President Trump, yes, has touted his stewardship and getting that pool repaired, having the surface painted Yes, American flag blue. He wanted the work completed in time for Yeah, the big two hundred and fiftieth anniversary.
00:14:00
Speaker 3: He fixed the leaks, they fixed the algae issue.
00:14:02
Speaker 1: So they said, yeah, Interior Department is saying, this is all just part of the process.
00:14:08
Speaker 3: It's just dead algae built up from the repair work. It's going to be gone soon. And that might be the case, and they got to get the pool people back.
00:14:15
Speaker 2: But the problem that there's no chlorine in a it's just a big lake essentially, is what they're saying. It's essentially trying to kill. How are you going to clean a big hole.
00:14:24
Speaker 3: They're gonna have to chlorinate the pool like weekly. They're gonna have to have the folks come in and do the pool work.
00:14:30
Speaker 2: Well, it's been there since nineteen twenty two, it's had algae since nineteen twenty two.
00:14:35
Speaker 3: It's hilarious.
00:14:37
Speaker 2: Thanks time. Did do you see this one coming? Some? This was a shot shut? This really sad. Okay, I didn't know about this.
00:14:43
Speaker 3: This was sad and shy.
00:14:44
Speaker 1: And I know they've been on again off again, but it seemed like they were really going strong. We're talking about jelly Roll. Jelly Roll has filed for divorce from his wife, Bunny XO. The couple met back in twenty fifteen. They married the following year in a secret Vegas wedding, and they even renewed their va in twenty twenty three. Then back in February, do you remember jelly Roll praising his wife at the Grammys. He credited her with changing his life, with saving his life. He said, I would have been dead if it were not for my wife and Jesus.
00:15:15
Speaker 3: And so I don't know what happened.
00:15:17
Speaker 1: We don't know what happened, but they are officially calling it quits.
00:15:22
Speaker 2: Uh, I didn't say, But she has been so much as part of his story along the way. So I mean, these things happen. Who knows what was happening behind the scenes, But I hate to see it.
00:15:32
Speaker 1: Oh, I do too, all right? And for the final leg of our run. Anyone else who loves Love Island the way we do, well, you don't have to watch it on your small screen anymore.
00:15:41
Speaker 3: You can head straight to the theaters.
00:15:43
Speaker 1: There is going to be a special screening on June twenty second. This is brilliant of the Kasa a Moore episode. The Kasa a More episode is always a game changer in the Love Island saga.
00:15:59
Speaker 2: This is too much? We don't it's why is it too much? Well, you know what, It's going to be communal people don't want to watch it together.
00:16:04
Speaker 1: And that's everybody can scream and ooh and ah because if you all don't follow Love Island. So everyone couples up. There's drama in the villa as people. They bring in bombshells to try and mess up couples. But what the big switcheroo is about? Halfway through, when people are all loved up and feeling good about their relationships, they send all the boys over to another resort called Casa Amar, filled with hot girls to pair up with. Then they spend some time with them and they can decide whether or not they want to bring back one of those girls with them. Basically, uncoupling with the girl they're with back in Love Island, and the girls meantime have a bunch of guys come to the villa and they can choose whether or not to stay with them. So it just creates a ton of drama. So how fun to watch that in the theater with everyone else who is just as invested as you are.
00:16:54
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna sit this one out. You know what, if Sabine says she wanted to go, you know, if Sabine says she would.
00:17:00
Speaker 3: Let's go, it'll be let's go.
00:17:02
Speaker 2: Let's not.
00:17:03
Speaker 3: Okay, we'll see what.
00:17:03
Speaker 2: Happened if the thing he wants to go, that's the only way, all right.
00:17:06
Speaker 3: I'll work on Sabine, okay.
00:17:08
Speaker 2: And if anybody know, I don't know if people heard the phone ringing in the background here, We told you all we are on the move. We are actually recording from a hotel room in beautiful Brussels right now. And if you heard a short time ago, I had to put the mic down when Rhodes was reading the President's tweet because our phone was ringing and it was room service robes, and I didn't tell you what the problem was. They wanted to let us know that the bottle of champagne, oh prosecco that we ordered, they don't have, and instead they ordered they do have champagne. Oh asked if that was going to be okay, how much is it? I was gonna say just yes, but then we got into a back and forth or whether or not how dry it was, if it was a brute champagne is dry, okay, But in the middle of this recording.
00:17:51
Speaker 3: How dry it is the champagne you got? That is funny? So what happened are we getting?
00:18:00
Speaker 2: We're getting it? Idea? How much it costs?
00:18:02
Speaker 3: Oh, that's great. You didn't ask that.
00:18:05
Speaker 2: I think she tried to offer. I think there was a reason she wanted to tell me how much it was.
00:18:10
Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll get it, okay, all right, I am a quote of the day. Well I had it and then I lost it, so I got it back. Well I'm going to just go to another one. All right.
00:18:19
Speaker 1: Here it is your quote of the day on this Tuesday. The highest form of peace is having no desire to be seen, validated, or understood by anyone. Yeah that's a tough and tall order, but yes, that would give you peace. No desire to be seen, validated or understood by anyone, so we can all work on our own peace by not being invested, I guess in the outcome. And with that, everyone, thank you for running with us. I'm Amy Roebuck alongside.
00:18:49
Speaker 3: My partner t J. Holmes, who's getting the room service right now. We always appreciate you. We'll be running with you soon
