Speaker 1: Morning Run with Amy and TJ.
00:00:02
Speaker 2: An iHeartRadio podcast. Hey there, everybody, and welcome to Morning Run. It is Tuesday, November 10th. I'm Amy Robach.
00:00:11
Speaker 1: And I'm TJ Holmes. And our new, our favorite obsession is back with a new season. We finally got it started. All's fair on Hulu. Kim Kardashian's show with Niecy Nash and Naomi Watts and Glenn Close. You've got to go watch this show. You've got, we love this show. You gotta watch it.
00:00:30
Speaker 2: It's so bad, it's good.
00:00:32
Speaker 1: It's just wonderful.
00:00:33
Speaker 3: That's what's perfect about it because sometimes things are just bad and it's meh and boring.
00:00:38
Speaker 2: This is so bad, you can't stop watching.
00:00:40
Speaker 1: I wouldn't call it bad. It's beautifully shot. It's beautifully outfitted, beautiful settings, beautiful people.
00:00:47
Speaker 3: It's beautifully ridiculous and over the top and hilariously impossibly opulent and just out of touch with any sort of reality. So if you need an escape from your life, we highly recommend All's Fair.
00:01:03
Speaker 1: Or real life. But we're going to get this USA Today reporter on who is bashing this show, says it's the worst show on TV. We take issue with that.
00:01:13
Speaker 2: Well, I think it's the worst show on TV that I can't stop watching.
00:01:16
Speaker 1: It's so good. Welcome, everybody. Hello to you all. Speaking of Kim Kardashian, she kind of stepped in it with her skims. This company's been doing gangbusters, had a bit of a misstep. We'll get into that. This morning, but the run will take us to Galveston, Texas, to Oxford, Mississippi, to Columbus, Ohio. Take us also to Massachusetts, to D.C., to Brussels, up to Alaska, to Santa Barbara, as well as to Dallas, where, oh, you talk about some must-see TV today. We are highly anticipating hearing from... The war secretary.
00:01:49
Speaker 2: Yes. Well, or defense secretary. Tomato, tomato. Pete Hegseth, that's who we're talking about.
00:01:56
Speaker 3: He is holding a press conference today, and it ought to be pretty good. Hegseth facing possible impeachment vote today or tomorrow.
00:02:04
Speaker 2: But in his words, we're not worried about that. Nah.
00:02:09
Speaker 3: No, instead, he says he's going to be talking about it as an 8 a.m.
00:02:14
Speaker 2: Press conference.
00:02:15
Speaker 1: Babe, what is he going to say? He already put out that video. Defiant. What is he going to say? Is he going to take questions or is he just going to make a statement? And is it at the Pentagon where they don't have a lot of press there?
00:02:29
Speaker 2: So he'll probably take, and I put this in air quotes, questions.
00:02:32
Speaker 1: Yeah.
00:02:33
Speaker 3: Or softballs lobbed his way that he can hit out of the park more like it.
00:02:38
Speaker 1: You know, that might be the case. He hasn't done one of these in six months. In the last couple of times, he did. From particular outlets, he took questions.
00:02:44
Speaker 3: But.
00:02:45
Speaker 1: Mr.
00:02:45
Speaker 2: Secretary Hegseth, how difficult is it to deal with.
00:02:48
Speaker 3: Members of the press who are constantly belittling you?
00:02:52
Speaker 1: In all seriousness, what is the first question you would ask him? Sitting in that room, significant, irrelevant question that needs to be asked of him is what?
00:03:00
Speaker 2: Why shouldn't you be impeached?
00:03:02
Speaker 1: That's meaningful, right? Yeah. I would want to know about that girls' school in Iran that we still haven't gotten answers for. Was that a U.S. bomb that dropped on there and killed 150 kids? I would like to hear that. But yes, that's 8 o'clock today. We'll be watching very closely. Midterm elections were opened, as we know, a week ago, but we still got races that are outstanding because they are too close to call.
00:03:24
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't get this one because in Alaska, yes, Democrat Mary Potola leads the incumbent Democrat Dan Sullivan.
00:03:32
Speaker 2: Sullivan, the original, the OG Dan Sullivan.
00:03:35
Speaker 3: But Mary's got the lead, 48.6 to his 47.5. That's just about 2,500 votes that separate them.
00:03:42
Speaker 2: Here's what I don't get. There's still 25% outstanding. What is going on in Alaska?
00:03:47
Speaker 3: I know it's a big state, but what are they like delivering the votes via Pony Express?
00:03:52
Speaker 1: Or little, I don't know, little planes or something having to get from one place. Are they driving this stuff?
00:03:57
Speaker 3: We have things called electronics and digitally, like, I don't know how things are done, but apparently old school.
00:04:03
Speaker 1: But Rob, they say about 70,000 votes are still outstanding. And they've sat at this number outstanding since Election Day.
00:04:09
Speaker 2: Exactly.
00:04:10
Speaker 1: That's the confusion. Well, in Mississippi, things are even closer. Down there, Democrat Scott Colombe has about a 1,500-vote lead over incumbent Republican Cindy Hyde-Smith. Now, even without these two remaining seats, Democrats have already secured a majority in the Senate. If they pick up these two, they could get up to 56 seats, but they already have the majority.
00:04:30
Speaker 3: All right, next up on the run, a cruise ship that departed Galveston, Texas on Sunday was ordered to return.
00:04:36
Speaker 2: To port, and when it did.
00:04:39
Speaker 3: the FBI was waiting for this cruise ship. Federal officials took a person into custody from the ship and say they're investigating a possible homicide.
00:04:49
Speaker 1: So the name of the person that was taken from the ship has not been released. The name of the victim has not been released, but the medical examiner there in Galveston says the victim is a female and an autopsy is scheduled for today. This is the MSC Seascape is the name of this ship. It did resume its itinerary, but Rutt What a mystery. Authorities, federal officials called ahead to that ship, said you need to turn around and come back.
00:05:13
Speaker 3: So they had a murder victim back on land and they believed that this murder suspect was headed out to sea.
00:05:19
Speaker 1: That's a hell of an escape, ain't it? So we don't know the details here at all. But yeah, it was an interesting story. We'll keep an eye on this one today.
00:05:27
Speaker 2: Definitely. We'll keep our eye on that one.
00:05:37
Speaker 3: Next up on the run, Lindsay Clancy has officially lost her bid to have her case thrown out. which clears the way for a retrial. The judge issued his ruling yesterday, denying the defense motion to dismiss the case on double jeopardy grounds. And the judge also denied a motion to investigate the loan holdout juror.
00:05:56
Speaker 1: So it looks like Robes, he has gone through all of their options, at least for holding up a new trial. So they're going to get back in court on November 16th. The judge said he's been saying for a while, hasn't he, Robes? He wants to schedule a new trial. possibly in March. The prosecution ropes, correct me if I'm wrong, I know they haven't said what charges they might reintroduce, but they haven't officially just said out loud, we are going to retry her. Things are going that direction, but we are still waiting. Something could happen there.
00:06:28
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think the prosecution kind of, everyone was waiting for the judge in these rulings.
00:06:32
Speaker 2: It was interesting.
00:06:32
Speaker 3: We were waiting for the judge in these rulings. And so I think the prosecution mentioned that they wanted to see what the judge was going to do with the defense motion about throwing it out. What would be the point of formally recharging her if the judge threw out or dismissed the charges against her on grounds of double jeopardy? So now that the judge has made this ruling, it does clear the way for the prosecution to make an announcement on charges. So maybe we'll be getting that sooner rather than later. But in the meantime, next up on the run, a trial date has been set for the accused Charlie Kirk assassin.
00:07:05
Speaker 2: A judge yesterday set June 21st, 2028. Wow. As the trial date for 23-year-old Tyler Robinson.
00:07:14
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's pleaded not guilty to aggravated murder for the death of Kirk, the conservative activist who was shot as he spoke to a crowd at Utah Valley University last September. Yeah, Robes, this is I mean, last September, they've been going back and forth. There's a lot of stuff they need to get through legally. They've been moving these conferences around. They have so many planned and updates. But yeah, Robes, they have it on the calendar now.
00:07:37
Speaker 2: My goodness.
00:07:38
Speaker 3: All right. Next up on the run, let's head to Oxford, Mississippi and the campus of Ole Miss. The university has launched an investigation of a now viral ring cam video of what the school calls offensive, hurtful, and unacceptable behavior. I feel like any human being would call this offensive, hurtful, and unacceptable behavior.
00:08:01
Speaker 1: All right, so what did we see in this video? If you haven't seen it yet, it shows three young women walking past this door, an apartment. Three would appear to be white women. Two of them white. pause, slow down, and turn towards this particular apartment and make monkey sounds, monkey noises, and gestures as they're looking at this door. Who lives at this apartment? One might ask. It's the apartment where three black students live.
00:08:34
Speaker 2: That's just awful.
00:08:35
Speaker 3: And of all places, Ole Miss, Mississippi, I mean, look, their flag was the It was the Confederate flag. It's not anymore, is it? But Ole Miss, that was their symbol.
00:08:47
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah.
00:08:48
Speaker 1: Well, this is Mississippi once again. This is tough. And these are very young women. I mean, what prompts something like this? I know a lot of people don't see this stuff. I see this and not surprised by it. We justâ We have video of it. I justâ folks, listen to us. These are small, littleâ digs at dignity that you get from people and you have no recourse. We see this all the time and we experience this in our lives. We don't have a ring cam. I didn't have somewhere to post it to say, look what's going on. Just please pay attention. I don't know if anybody looks at this and says, well, it's a big deal. Man, this strikes at your dignity that somebody just wanting to respect you as a human being. Yeah.
00:09:26
Speaker 3: It's that like death by a thousand cuts. Like at a certain point, it's just Yes, it hurts and it has a lasting impact.
00:09:34
Speaker 2: It leaves scars.
00:09:35
Speaker 1: Who knows the back story of what their history was and who they knew and why they did it.
00:09:39
Speaker 2: There's no excuse.
00:09:41
Speaker 1: We just left the college campus not too long ago. In a home like this, these girls were like they were coming back from a night out. We were at a college campus, Robes. All kinds of people were stopping by the house on a wild night. The kids are going out. It's what it looked like and reminded me of. That, why do that? Young girls, man. Do they not?
00:10:01
Speaker 2: That just sucks. It just sucks.
00:10:03
Speaker 3: And yeah, I think we expect more from younger kids, like that they know better, that they know more.
00:10:08
Speaker 2: They've got more diverse friends.
00:10:10
Speaker 3: We just are all connected in different ways, but apparently not for everyone. All right. Next up on the run, a fraternity at the Ohio State University has been suspended. It's the.
00:10:20
Speaker 2: The Ohio State University.
00:10:22
Speaker 1: Sorry, I said it wrong. I did that for them. Just for them.
00:10:23
Speaker 3: The Ohio State University. has been suspended. This is a crazy video. It surfaced online showing two men on fire.
00:10:33
Speaker 2: Yes, on fire.
00:10:34
Speaker 3: The student says it's investigating the Sigma Alpha Epsilon SAEs, that fraternity, and has referred the matter to Columbus police, as they should. In the video, which is making rounds on social media, you see a crowd gathered outside as these two young guys are tussling around with their.
00:10:53
Speaker 2: Pants open fully engulfed in flames.
00:10:57
Speaker 1: Robes, what did you make of seeing them? They looked fairly panicked, but the crowd didn't. People are cheering and laughing.
00:11:06
Speaker 2: Because everyone's drunk.
00:11:07
Speaker 1: Rolling video. Like this was a plan. This is scary. Somebody should get arrested for this.
00:11:13
Speaker 2: Absolutely.
00:11:14
Speaker 1: Yes. So don't know what was going on. It looked like they were there for some almost wrestling match. So these guys were going at it.
00:11:21
Speaker 2: Well, they make, Pledges do all sorts of stuff. Like they pee on, you know, all the horrible things.
00:11:26
Speaker 3: And even Annalise, who's at college now, will come back and tell me all the stories from these guys who were pledging fraternities last year.
00:11:33
Speaker 1: Why is this necessary?
00:11:34
Speaker 2: Where they get like peed on and lighters and all this stuff. It's just disgusting. It's weird, gross, ego, manosphere crap.
00:11:43
Speaker 3: I don't know.
00:11:44
Speaker 1: We haven't learned. Guys have died over the years from all kinds of foolishness.
00:11:48
Speaker 2: Alcohol poisoning.
00:11:49
Speaker 1: They said no cops were never called. Nobody showed up at any hospital for treatment based on this. They only were alerted to it because somebody called the police and said, hey, have you seen this video? Man.
00:12:02
Speaker 3: All right. Next up on the run, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are making their first public appearance since Meghan's father was arrested last Friday on those child porn charges.
00:12:11
Speaker 2: The Duke and Duchess are in Brussels, Belgium right now.
00:12:14
Speaker 1: Brussels. Yes, I know.
00:12:16
Speaker 2: We were just there.
00:12:16
Speaker 3: It's such a wonderful town. They're there to open the Lost Screen Memorial. It honors children who lost their lives because of the harms of social media.
00:12:26
Speaker 1: Now, they arrived at the European Parliament in Brussels holding hands, both Harry and Meghan, scheduled to jointly deliver remarks on digital safety and child protection. But, however, there was a change of plans. Late yesterday revealed that Megan would no longer be speaking. Rose, let the speculation run wild. There's not an official answer about this, is there?
00:12:48
Speaker 3: Everyone's reporting this source, including the main outlets, that there's a source close to maybe she wanted this put out there, that she's just too distressed and too distraught. and is in no shape to be publicly speaking right now after what happened on Friday. So, I mean, can you imagine? That's just beyond, that would be tough. I can't imagine anyone in that position learning that about your father, having him be arrested.
00:13:16
Speaker 2: It's a lot to take in.
00:13:17
Speaker 1: Would have canceled this one. Of course. It's okay.
00:13:19
Speaker 3: You know what? They didn't want to cancel it because this was a cause near and dear to their heart. But look, they looked fabulous holding hands. Of course, people were asking her questions.
00:13:28
Speaker 2: They looked ahead. They didn't answer.
00:13:29
Speaker 3: But she knew that had to be like a massive incoming on that when they're trying to focus on. kids safety oh the irony it's difficult she has not commented publicly since her father's arrest and this is their first official joint trip abroad since moving to the uk they're trying to move onwards and upwards but it's been incredibly difficult slowly.
00:13:50
Speaker 1: But surely maybe there's more of these things and she can get i do we focus on her so much because she gets so much of the incoming but my goodness.
00:13:59
Speaker 2: That's not easy.
00:13:59
Speaker 3: All right, next up on the run, the FDA is issuing a new warning about those oh-so-popular GLP-1s. The agency is now going to require drug companies to add warnings about an increased risk for a rare condition.
00:14:13
Speaker 2: It's referred to as an eye stroke.
00:14:16
Speaker 1: Yeah, a GLP-1 can make you go blind, is essentially what the warning is. Now, it's caused this thing they call eye stroke. It has a very long and medical name to it. I can't pronounce what it's caused. by a decreased blood flow to the eye, which can result in sudden but painless vision loss. And the robes, they say, it usually happens just in one eye. They say the vision can come back, but in some cases it can be permanent. Look, they thought it was serious enough. Robes, they're putting this on. We'll learn more and more about GOP1s over the years. That's scary, though. More and more years. Sudden. Yeah, and painless. but maybe permanent. None of those sound good. All right, continuing here on the run. When we come back, stay here. What in Lord's name happened in the White House press briefing room yesterday? The president and the UFC president showed up. We'll explain also what happened at the Santa Barbara Marathon. Runners, and we're talking about Dozens of them end up in the hospital. An investigation is now underway. Kanye West, you thought he was canceled? Not according to his concert ticket sales. Robes and I got some pretty bad news from the NCAA about the college football playoff. Well, disappointing for some, maybe encouraging for others. And we were talking about Kim Kardashian. She's got a great show on her hands, but a bad product from Skims, apparently.
00:15:47
Speaker 3: Welcome back, everyone, to your Tuesday morning run of Next Up on the Run. It was an impromptu and extremely bizarre scene yesterday in the White House press briefing room. President Trump and UFC CEO Dana White held court with reporters, and I guess they thought they were having some fun, but it just was strange.
00:16:12
Speaker 1: It looked like two dudes just hanging out, having fun. I mean, if there wasn't a war going on and all we got going on, but it seemed like a weird, bro-y, just display out there. Of course, we know that Dana White, the president sent out a true social message over the weekend, said he offered him the job of White House press secretary. Then he ends up at the White House, Dana White, having a meeting about this very thing. So, Rose, we thought this might end up being serious. The president said he was just kidding, but they still came out. And, Rose, they kind of just played and toyed with the media.
00:16:44
Speaker 3: To the point where CNN reporters are asking, wait, so you are or you are not offering him the job?
00:16:51
Speaker 2: You are or you are not accepting the job? It was confusing coming from both of them.
00:16:56
Speaker 1: But they asked Dana White directly, did you tell him no, that you're not going to take the job? And his answer was, well, I would never tell the president no about anything. It was just, it was a weird thing. And then they started asking Dana White questions. He didn't have anything to say. And then they said, oh, well, goodness, the president's just standing here hanging out. Let's throw some questions at him. They started asking him about Hegseth.
00:17:17
Speaker 2: He started insulting reporters.
00:17:19
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, the MS Now guy, whoever that guy was in there. The president didn't like his question. He said, who are you with? MS Now. Oh, you're a fake network. Just waved him off and kept talking. Looked at Caitlin Collins from CNN in her face. Thomas Massey's a loser. You're a loser. Your network is a loser. She said that to her.
00:17:38
Speaker 2: It was unbelievable.
00:17:38
Speaker 1: It was a weird scene on a day that I guess nothing else was going on.
00:17:44
Speaker 2: Wow. Yeah, he needs a press secretary stat.
00:17:47
Speaker 3: Yeah, man. All right, next up on the run, what happened at the Santa Barbara Half Marathon? Police are investigating after nearly 30 runners fell ill during Sunday's race under, quote, suspicious circumstances. Many of the runners reported feeling faint, They needed help on the course, and at least 27 people sought treatment.
00:18:10
Speaker 2: At the hospital.
00:18:11
Speaker 3: Again, this is a half marathon, and not to poo-poo it, but this is not like a marathon on mile 20.
00:18:17
Speaker 2: No.
00:18:19
Speaker 1: There is, you don't, this doesn't happen. Something happened. What could have happened, baby?
00:18:22
Speaker 2: Something in the air?
00:18:24
Speaker 1: In the air or in, was this an intentional act? They're going through, they're having to take water stations. Robes, they all ingested the same something, did they not? Oh my goodness. What in God's name, baby?
00:18:36
Speaker 2: Feeling faint. I don't know.
00:18:37
Speaker 3: The only time I've ever had a weird disturbance, remember when I was running in Boulder? And it was almost as if I ran into a.
00:18:43
Speaker 2: Cloud of bear spray or pepper spray or something. But I didn't see it. But all of a sudden... I started choking. So I don't know. That's why my brain went there.
00:18:52
Speaker 3: Did someone put something in the air?
00:18:54
Speaker 2: Did someone do something?
00:18:56
Speaker 1: That sounds like a weird accident. But in half marathons, folks don't just fall out on the course and need medical attention.
00:19:03
Speaker 2: Not in mass.
00:19:04
Speaker 1: Not in mass. All of these folks. They had two in an ICU, baby.
00:19:08
Speaker 2: Stop.
00:19:08
Speaker 1: At least two were in an ICU.
00:19:10
Speaker 2: Oh, that does sound like something they ingested.
00:19:12
Speaker 1: But what in God's name? It had to be in the water. The Gatorade station.
00:19:16
Speaker 2: But it had to have happened immediately, too. Think about that. If you ingest something or eat something, it takes a little while.
00:19:21
Speaker 3: I don't know. I mean, I guess it's sped up slightly, though, when you're running.
00:19:25
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true.
00:19:25
Speaker 1: Damn, yes. We've got a close eye on that one. And as runners, obviously, we have very much a vested interest in that story.
00:19:32
Speaker 2: Yeah, Santa Barbara Hot Marathon sounds lovely. Sounds awesome.
00:19:34
Speaker 3: All right, next up on the run, Kanye West has just set a record held by Kanye West. Over the weekend, he had a concert at AT & T Stadium in Dallas, which is now The biggest rap concert ever.
00:19:46
Speaker 1: Yes, the most ever to attend a hip-hop concert. It happened over the weekend, and they were there to see the guy we're told was canceled, who was anti-Semitic, who was praising Hitler, who liked Trump. That's the guy. Folks are still showing up for him. How many people attended this rap concert? 83,132 folks to see Kanye West. Wes, $ 18 million in a night at this stadium. Now, he set the record for the largest rap concert twice before this, Robes, and it happened this year. Wow. Kanye ain't canceled, is he?
00:20:22
Speaker 2: Look, he makes good music.
00:20:23
Speaker 1: Some of the best stuff of our lives, he does.
00:20:26
Speaker 2: That's the issue.
00:20:27
Speaker 1: He said that's the issue.
00:20:29
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, because you want to cancel him, but then you love his music, so what do you do? You talk about this all the time with Michael Jackson.
00:20:35
Speaker 2: With R. Kelly, you know, you get into these dilemmas, these, you know, what should I do? What is right?
00:20:41
Speaker 1: They're showing up, baby. They are showing up for you.
00:20:52
Speaker 3: All right, next up on the run, not sure how we feel about this one. Actually, I think I kind of do know how I feel about this one. The college football playoff is expanding. Remember how it started out years ago? It was just a four-team playoff.
00:21:05
Speaker 1: It's kind of cool. Everybody was desperate to be one of those four teams, and everybody argued about who was number five and six and got left out. I enjoyed it. Then they expanded it to 12 teams. I didn't mind that so much. Roll-ups give other schools an opportunity. But then team 13 and 14 and 15 started arguing, we want to get in. We should have gotten in. 24 teams, baby. Starting next season.
00:21:25
Speaker 2: Jesus.
00:21:26
Speaker 1: That's a lot.
00:21:27
Speaker 2: That is a lot.
00:21:28
Speaker 1: That's a lot. So- The problem we have with this is that they are eliminating conference championships, which eliminates the SEC championship that happens in Atlanta every year that is just a must-see event. And I don't know, Robes, 24 teams now. You have top 25. It's a top 25 ranking. So that's a lot of teams, baby.
00:21:53
Speaker 2: Number 25 is going to be mad.
00:21:55
Speaker 1: Pissed. It's going to happen. So mad. 25, 26, and 27 are going to go, well, we should look at it. Yeah. That's a lot of teams. Even 24. We won't make the cut in Arkansas.
00:22:05
Speaker 2: Maybe one year.
00:22:06
Speaker 1: Love y'all.
00:22:06
Speaker 2: Not this year.
00:22:07
Speaker 1: This is not going well.
00:22:08
Speaker 2: All right, speaking of angry fans. Oh, yes.
00:22:11
Speaker 1: It was the last leg.
00:22:12
Speaker 2: Yes, final leg of the run.
00:22:15
Speaker 3: Power to the disappointed and outraged TikTokers who purchased that $ 150 Skims advent calendar for the holiday season. Well, guess what, everybody? Kim Kardashian is giving you your money back. There was outrage after a TikTok video went viral showing an influencer opening up all 12 days of the advent calendar, revealing... Keychains, hair ties, hair pins, a little ornament. After showing each item, the TikToker said, Kimberly, you're genuinely about to piss me off. This is way too expensive. Other people chimed in with box full of pranks. This is straight up disrespectful.
00:22:56
Speaker 1: Box full of pranks.
00:22:57
Speaker 3: I wouldn't pay $ 15. People calling it a scam, saying that these were items that you could find in a dollar store. I mean, they were vicious and brutal and unrelenting about what they thought about this advent calendar.
00:23:11
Speaker 1: Yes, I'm looking at it. By the way, it's $ 150.
00:23:12
Speaker 3: People were pissed off. That's why I'm making the face. They thought there should have been more in there.
00:23:16
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:23:17
Speaker 1: This is why I'm making the face I'm making. That's $ 150. There's a comb in there and some hair ties from Duane Reade.
00:23:23
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's exactly what people were saying.
00:23:25
Speaker 1: So the SKIMS response.
00:23:27
Speaker 3: Was swift, and I do think this will do and this will go a long way. We're aware of the feedback some customers have shared about the SKIMS advent calendar, and we've listened carefully.
00:23:38
Speaker 2: That's funny. The feedback is like, you suck.
00:23:41
Speaker 3: Since the calendar didn't meet expectations, the company has personally contacted every customer who purchased the calendar and offered them a choice of a full refund or a SKIMS credit to put towards other products. Look, I think if you're going to do this surprise 12 days, you need to actually put in a cute pair of underwear. You need to have some actual products that people will get excited about that make it a value for $ 150.
00:24:07
Speaker 1: They threw this together, didn't they?
00:24:10
Speaker 3: They weren't thinking about... Especially think about expectations. When you have a surprise... You think it's going to be so exciting. It's a letdown if it isn't. Surprises have to be carefully orchestrated, and that includes advent calendars.
00:24:25
Speaker 1: No day in this advent calendar where you have opened it and been excited about what you see. These are little tchotchkes. These are little trinkets. Yeah, this is weird.
00:24:34
Speaker 2: So then it should have been $ 39.
00:24:35
Speaker 3: 99.
00:24:35
Speaker 2: Maybe.
00:24:35
Speaker 3: Not $ 150. Maybe $ 29.
00:24:36
Speaker 2: 99. All right, but Kim's making it right.
00:24:43
Speaker 3: And so everybody will get their money back. All right. And on this Tuesday, we leave you with our quote of the day. You spend most of your life inside of your head. Make it a nice place to be.
00:24:57
Speaker 1: Yeah.
00:24:57
Speaker 2: We clean up our homes. We clean up our kitchens and our bathrooms.
00:25:01
Speaker 3: We make it tidy so that we feel better, but we don't do it with our brains, with our minds, with all the clutter floating around, the self-loathing and the what-ifs and should-haves and could-haves.
00:25:12
Speaker 2: Get rid of that. You spend most of your life inside of your head. Make it a nice place to be. And with that, everyone, we always appreciate you running with us. I'm Amy Romo.
00:25:23
Speaker 1: And I'm TJ Holmes. Run soon.
Speaker 1: Morning Run with Amy and TJ.
00:00:02
Speaker 2: An iHeartRadio podcast. Hey there, everybody, and welcome to Morning Run. It is Tuesday, November 10th. I'm Amy Robach.
00:00:11
Speaker 1: And I'm TJ Holmes. And our new, our favorite obsession is back with a new season. We finally got it started. All's fair on Hulu. Kim Kardashian's show with Niecy Nash and Naomi Watts and Glenn Close. You've got to go watch this show. You've got, we love this show. You gotta watch it.
00:00:30
Speaker 2: It's so bad, it's good.
00:00:32
Speaker 1: It's just wonderful.
00:00:33
Speaker 3: That's what's perfect about it because sometimes things are just bad and it's meh and boring.
00:00:38
Speaker 2: This is so bad, you can't stop watching.
00:00:40
Speaker 1: I wouldn't call it bad. It's beautifully shot. It's beautifully outfitted, beautiful settings, beautiful people.
00:00:47
Speaker 3: It's beautifully ridiculous and over the top and hilariously impossibly opulent and just out of touch with any sort of reality. So if you need an escape from your life, we highly recommend All's Fair.
00:01:03
Speaker 1: Or real life. But we're going to get this USA Today reporter on who is bashing this show, says it's the worst show on TV. We take issue with that.
00:01:13
Speaker 2: Well, I think it's the worst show on TV that I can't stop watching.
00:01:16
Speaker 1: It's so good. Welcome, everybody. Hello to you all. Speaking of Kim Kardashian, she kind of stepped in it with her skims. This company's been doing gangbusters, had a bit of a misstep. We'll get into that. This morning, but the run will take us to Galveston, Texas, to Oxford, Mississippi, to Columbus, Ohio. Take us also to Massachusetts, to D.C., to Brussels, up to Alaska, to Santa Barbara, as well as to Dallas, where, oh, you talk about some must-see TV today. We are highly anticipating hearing from... The war secretary.
00:01:49
Speaker 2: Yes. Well, or defense secretary. Tomato, tomato. Pete Hegseth, that's who we're talking about.
00:01:56
Speaker 3: He is holding a press conference today, and it ought to be pretty good. Hegseth facing possible impeachment vote today or tomorrow.
00:02:04
Speaker 2: But in his words, we're not worried about that. Nah.
00:02:09
Speaker 3: No, instead, he says he's going to be talking about it as an 8 a.m.
00:02:14
Speaker 2: Press conference.
00:02:15
Speaker 1: Babe, what is he going to say? He already put out that video. Defiant. What is he going to say? Is he going to take questions or is he just going to make a statement? And is it at the Pentagon where they don't have a lot of press there?
00:02:29
Speaker 2: So he'll probably take, and I put this in air quotes, questions.
00:02:32
Speaker 1: Yeah.
00:02:33
Speaker 3: Or softballs lobbed his way that he can hit out of the park more like it.
00:02:38
Speaker 1: You know, that might be the case. He hasn't done one of these in six months. In the last couple of times, he did. From particular outlets, he took questions.
00:02:44
Speaker 3: But.
00:02:45
Speaker 1: Mr.
00:02:45
Speaker 2: Secretary Hegseth, how difficult is it to deal with.
00:02:48
Speaker 3: Members of the press who are constantly belittling you?
00:02:52
Speaker 1: In all seriousness, what is the first question you would ask him? Sitting in that room, significant, irrelevant question that needs to be asked of him is what?
00:03:00
Speaker 2: Why shouldn't you be impeached?
00:03:02
Speaker 1: That's meaningful, right? Yeah. I would want to know about that girls' school in Iran that we still haven't gotten answers for. Was that a U.S. bomb that dropped on there and killed 150 kids? I would like to hear that. But yes, that's 8 o'clock today. We'll be watching very closely. Midterm elections were opened, as we know, a week ago, but we still got races that are outstanding because they are too close to call.
00:03:24
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't get this one because in Alaska, yes, Democrat Mary Potola leads the incumbent Democrat Dan Sullivan.
00:03:32
Speaker 2: Sullivan, the original, the OG Dan Sullivan.
00:03:35
Speaker 3: But Mary's got the lead, 48.6 to his 47.5. That's just about 2,500 votes that separate them.
00:03:42
Speaker 2: Here's what I don't get. There's still 25% outstanding. What is going on in Alaska?
00:03:47
Speaker 3: I know it's a big state, but what are they like delivering the votes via Pony Express?
00:03:52
Speaker 1: Or little, I don't know, little planes or something having to get from one place. Are they driving this stuff?
00:03:57
Speaker 3: We have things called electronics and digitally, like, I don't know how things are done, but apparently old school.
00:04:03
Speaker 1: But Rob, they say about 70,000 votes are still outstanding. And they've sat at this number outstanding since Election Day.
00:04:09
Speaker 2: Exactly.
00:04:10
Speaker 1: That's the confusion. Well, in Mississippi, things are even closer. Down there, Democrat Scott Colombe has about a 1,500-vote lead over incumbent Republican Cindy Hyde-Smith. Now, even without these two remaining seats, Democrats have already secured a majority in the Senate. If they pick up these two, they could get up to 56 seats, but they already have the majority.
00:04:30
Speaker 3: All right, next up on the run, a cruise ship that departed Galveston, Texas on Sunday was ordered to return.
00:04:36
Speaker 2: To port, and when it did.
00:04:39
Speaker 3: the FBI was waiting for this cruise ship. Federal officials took a person into custody from the ship and say they're investigating a possible homicide.
00:04:49
Speaker 1: So the name of the person that was taken from the ship has not been released. The name of the victim has not been released, but the medical examiner there in Galveston says the victim is a female and an autopsy is scheduled for today. This is the MSC Seascape is the name of this ship. It did resume its itinerary, but Rutt What a mystery. Authorities, federal officials called ahead to that ship, said you need to turn around and come back.
00:05:13
Speaker 3: So they had a murder victim back on land and they believed that this murder suspect was headed out to sea.
00:05:19
Speaker 1: That's a hell of an escape, ain't it? So we don't know the details here at all. But yeah, it was an interesting story. We'll keep an eye on this one today.
00:05:27
Speaker 2: Definitely. We'll keep our eye on that one.
00:05:37
Speaker 3: Next up on the run, Lindsay Clancy has officially lost her bid to have her case thrown out. which clears the way for a retrial. The judge issued his ruling yesterday, denying the defense motion to dismiss the case on double jeopardy grounds. And the judge also denied a motion to investigate the loan holdout juror.
00:05:56
Speaker 1: So it looks like Robes, he has gone through all of their options, at least for holding up a new trial. So they're going to get back in court on November 16th. The judge said he's been saying for a while, hasn't he, Robes? He wants to schedule a new trial. possibly in March. The prosecution ropes, correct me if I'm wrong, I know they haven't said what charges they might reintroduce, but they haven't officially just said out loud, we are going to retry her. Things are going that direction, but we are still waiting. Something could happen there.
00:06:28
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think the prosecution kind of, everyone was waiting for the judge in these rulings.
00:06:32
Speaker 2: It was interesting.
00:06:32
Speaker 3: We were waiting for the judge in these rulings. And so I think the prosecution mentioned that they wanted to see what the judge was going to do with the defense motion about throwing it out. What would be the point of formally recharging her if the judge threw out or dismissed the charges against her on grounds of double jeopardy? So now that the judge has made this ruling, it does clear the way for the prosecution to make an announcement on charges. So maybe we'll be getting that sooner rather than later. But in the meantime, next up on the run, a trial date has been set for the accused Charlie Kirk assassin.
00:07:05
Speaker 2: A judge yesterday set June 21st, 2028. Wow. As the trial date for 23-year-old Tyler Robinson.
00:07:14
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's pleaded not guilty to aggravated murder for the death of Kirk, the conservative activist who was shot as he spoke to a crowd at Utah Valley University last September. Yeah, Robes, this is I mean, last September, they've been going back and forth. There's a lot of stuff they need to get through legally. They've been moving these conferences around. They have so many planned and updates. But yeah, Robes, they have it on the calendar now.
00:07:37
Speaker 2: My goodness.
00:07:38
Speaker 3: All right. Next up on the run, let's head to Oxford, Mississippi and the campus of Ole Miss. The university has launched an investigation of a now viral ring cam video of what the school calls offensive, hurtful, and unacceptable behavior. I feel like any human being would call this offensive, hurtful, and unacceptable behavior.
00:08:01
Speaker 1: All right, so what did we see in this video? If you haven't seen it yet, it shows three young women walking past this door, an apartment. Three would appear to be white women. Two of them white. pause, slow down, and turn towards this particular apartment and make monkey sounds, monkey noises, and gestures as they're looking at this door. Who lives at this apartment? One might ask. It's the apartment where three black students live.
00:08:34
Speaker 2: That's just awful.
00:08:35
Speaker 3: And of all places, Ole Miss, Mississippi, I mean, look, their flag was the It was the Confederate flag. It's not anymore, is it? But Ole Miss, that was their symbol.
00:08:47
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah.
00:08:48
Speaker 1: Well, this is Mississippi once again. This is tough. And these are very young women. I mean, what prompts something like this? I know a lot of people don't see this stuff. I see this and not surprised by it. We justâ We have video of it. I justâ folks, listen to us. These are small, littleâ digs at dignity that you get from people and you have no recourse. We see this all the time and we experience this in our lives. We don't have a ring cam. I didn't have somewhere to post it to say, look what's going on. Just please pay attention. I don't know if anybody looks at this and says, well, it's a big deal. Man, this strikes at your dignity that somebody just wanting to respect you as a human being. Yeah.
00:09:26
Speaker 3: It's that like death by a thousand cuts. Like at a certain point, it's just Yes, it hurts and it has a lasting impact.
00:09:34
Speaker 2: It leaves scars.
00:09:35
Speaker 1: Who knows the back story of what their history was and who they knew and why they did it.
00:09:39
Speaker 2: There's no excuse.
00:09:41
Speaker 1: We just left the college campus not too long ago. In a home like this, these girls were like they were coming back from a night out. We were at a college campus, Robes. All kinds of people were stopping by the house on a wild night. The kids are going out. It's what it looked like and reminded me of. That, why do that? Young girls, man. Do they not?
00:10:01
Speaker 2: That just sucks. It just sucks.
00:10:03
Speaker 3: And yeah, I think we expect more from younger kids, like that they know better, that they know more.
00:10:08
Speaker 2: They've got more diverse friends.
00:10:10
Speaker 3: We just are all connected in different ways, but apparently not for everyone. All right. Next up on the run, a fraternity at the Ohio State University has been suspended. It's the.
00:10:20
Speaker 2: The Ohio State University.
00:10:22
Speaker 1: Sorry, I said it wrong. I did that for them. Just for them.
00:10:23
Speaker 3: The Ohio State University. has been suspended. This is a crazy video. It surfaced online showing two men on fire.
00:10:33
Speaker 2: Yes, on fire.
00:10:34
Speaker 3: The student says it's investigating the Sigma Alpha Epsilon SAEs, that fraternity, and has referred the matter to Columbus police, as they should. In the video, which is making rounds on social media, you see a crowd gathered outside as these two young guys are tussling around with their.
00:10:53
Speaker 2: Pants open fully engulfed in flames.
00:10:57
Speaker 1: Robes, what did you make of seeing them? They looked fairly panicked, but the crowd didn't. People are cheering and laughing.
00:11:06
Speaker 2: Because everyone's drunk.
00:11:07
Speaker 1: Rolling video. Like this was a plan. This is scary. Somebody should get arrested for this.
00:11:13
Speaker 2: Absolutely.
00:11:14
Speaker 1: Yes. So don't know what was going on. It looked like they were there for some almost wrestling match. So these guys were going at it.
00:11:21
Speaker 2: Well, they make, Pledges do all sorts of stuff. Like they pee on, you know, all the horrible things.
00:11:26
Speaker 3: And even Annalise, who's at college now, will come back and tell me all the stories from these guys who were pledging fraternities last year.
00:11:33
Speaker 1: Why is this necessary?
00:11:34
Speaker 2: Where they get like peed on and lighters and all this stuff. It's just disgusting. It's weird, gross, ego, manosphere crap.
00:11:43
Speaker 3: I don't know.
00:11:44
Speaker 1: We haven't learned. Guys have died over the years from all kinds of foolishness.
00:11:48
Speaker 2: Alcohol poisoning.
00:11:49
Speaker 1: They said no cops were never called. Nobody showed up at any hospital for treatment based on this. They only were alerted to it because somebody called the police and said, hey, have you seen this video? Man.
00:12:02
Speaker 3: All right. Next up on the run, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are making their first public appearance since Meghan's father was arrested last Friday on those child porn charges.
00:12:11
Speaker 2: The Duke and Duchess are in Brussels, Belgium right now.
00:12:14
Speaker 1: Brussels. Yes, I know.
00:12:16
Speaker 2: We were just there.
00:12:16
Speaker 3: It's such a wonderful town. They're there to open the Lost Screen Memorial. It honors children who lost their lives because of the harms of social media.
00:12:26
Speaker 1: Now, they arrived at the European Parliament in Brussels holding hands, both Harry and Meghan, scheduled to jointly deliver remarks on digital safety and child protection. But, however, there was a change of plans. Late yesterday revealed that Megan would no longer be speaking. Rose, let the speculation run wild. There's not an official answer about this, is there?
00:12:48
Speaker 3: Everyone's reporting this source, including the main outlets, that there's a source close to maybe she wanted this put out there, that she's just too distressed and too distraught. and is in no shape to be publicly speaking right now after what happened on Friday. So, I mean, can you imagine? That's just beyond, that would be tough. I can't imagine anyone in that position learning that about your father, having him be arrested.
00:13:16
Speaker 2: It's a lot to take in.
00:13:17
Speaker 1: Would have canceled this one. Of course. It's okay.
00:13:19
Speaker 3: You know what? They didn't want to cancel it because this was a cause near and dear to their heart. But look, they looked fabulous holding hands. Of course, people were asking her questions.
00:13:28
Speaker 2: They looked ahead. They didn't answer.
00:13:29
Speaker 3: But she knew that had to be like a massive incoming on that when they're trying to focus on. kids safety oh the irony it's difficult she has not commented publicly since her father's arrest and this is their first official joint trip abroad since moving to the uk they're trying to move onwards and upwards but it's been incredibly difficult slowly.
00:13:50
Speaker 1: But surely maybe there's more of these things and she can get i do we focus on her so much because she gets so much of the incoming but my goodness.
00:13:59
Speaker 2: That's not easy.
00:13:59
Speaker 3: All right, next up on the run, the FDA is issuing a new warning about those oh-so-popular GLP-1s. The agency is now going to require drug companies to add warnings about an increased risk for a rare condition.
00:14:13
Speaker 2: It's referred to as an eye stroke.
00:14:16
Speaker 1: Yeah, a GLP-1 can make you go blind, is essentially what the warning is. Now, it's caused this thing they call eye stroke. It has a very long and medical name to it. I can't pronounce what it's caused. by a decreased blood flow to the eye, which can result in sudden but painless vision loss. And the robes, they say, it usually happens just in one eye. They say the vision can come back, but in some cases it can be permanent. Look, they thought it was serious enough. Robes, they're putting this on. We'll learn more and more about GOP1s over the years. That's scary, though. More and more years. Sudden. Yeah, and painless. but maybe permanent. None of those sound good. All right, continuing here on the run. When we come back, stay here. What in Lord's name happened in the White House press briefing room yesterday? The president and the UFC president showed up. We'll explain also what happened at the Santa Barbara Marathon. Runners, and we're talking about Dozens of them end up in the hospital. An investigation is now underway. Kanye West, you thought he was canceled? Not according to his concert ticket sales. Robes and I got some pretty bad news from the NCAA about the college football playoff. Well, disappointing for some, maybe encouraging for others. And we were talking about Kim Kardashian. She's got a great show on her hands, but a bad product from Skims, apparently.
00:15:47
Speaker 3: Welcome back, everyone, to your Tuesday morning run of Next Up on the Run. It was an impromptu and extremely bizarre scene yesterday in the White House press briefing room. President Trump and UFC CEO Dana White held court with reporters, and I guess they thought they were having some fun, but it just was strange.
00:16:12
Speaker 1: It looked like two dudes just hanging out, having fun. I mean, if there wasn't a war going on and all we got going on, but it seemed like a weird, bro-y, just display out there. Of course, we know that Dana White, the president sent out a true social message over the weekend, said he offered him the job of White House press secretary. Then he ends up at the White House, Dana White, having a meeting about this very thing. So, Rose, we thought this might end up being serious. The president said he was just kidding, but they still came out. And, Rose, they kind of just played and toyed with the media.
00:16:44
Speaker 3: To the point where CNN reporters are asking, wait, so you are or you are not offering him the job?
00:16:51
Speaker 2: You are or you are not accepting the job? It was confusing coming from both of them.
00:16:56
Speaker 1: But they asked Dana White directly, did you tell him no, that you're not going to take the job? And his answer was, well, I would never tell the president no about anything. It was just, it was a weird thing. And then they started asking Dana White questions. He didn't have anything to say. And then they said, oh, well, goodness, the president's just standing here hanging out. Let's throw some questions at him. They started asking him about Hegseth.
00:17:17
Speaker 2: He started insulting reporters.
00:17:19
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, the MS Now guy, whoever that guy was in there. The president didn't like his question. He said, who are you with? MS Now. Oh, you're a fake network. Just waved him off and kept talking. Looked at Caitlin Collins from CNN in her face. Thomas Massey's a loser. You're a loser. Your network is a loser. She said that to her.
00:17:38
Speaker 2: It was unbelievable.
00:17:38
Speaker 1: It was a weird scene on a day that I guess nothing else was going on.
00:17:44
Speaker 2: Wow. Yeah, he needs a press secretary stat.
00:17:47
Speaker 3: Yeah, man. All right, next up on the run, what happened at the Santa Barbara Half Marathon? Police are investigating after nearly 30 runners fell ill during Sunday's race under, quote, suspicious circumstances. Many of the runners reported feeling faint, They needed help on the course, and at least 27 people sought treatment.
00:18:10
Speaker 2: At the hospital.
00:18:11
Speaker 3: Again, this is a half marathon, and not to poo-poo it, but this is not like a marathon on mile 20.
00:18:17
Speaker 2: No.
00:18:19
Speaker 1: There is, you don't, this doesn't happen. Something happened. What could have happened, baby?
00:18:22
Speaker 2: Something in the air?
00:18:24
Speaker 1: In the air or in, was this an intentional act? They're going through, they're having to take water stations. Robes, they all ingested the same something, did they not? Oh my goodness. What in God's name, baby?
00:18:36
Speaker 2: Feeling faint. I don't know.
00:18:37
Speaker 3: The only time I've ever had a weird disturbance, remember when I was running in Boulder? And it was almost as if I ran into a.
00:18:43
Speaker 2: Cloud of bear spray or pepper spray or something. But I didn't see it. But all of a sudden... I started choking. So I don't know. That's why my brain went there.
00:18:52
Speaker 3: Did someone put something in the air?
00:18:54
Speaker 2: Did someone do something?
00:18:56
Speaker 1: That sounds like a weird accident. But in half marathons, folks don't just fall out on the course and need medical attention.
00:19:03
Speaker 2: Not in mass.
00:19:04
Speaker 1: Not in mass. All of these folks. They had two in an ICU, baby.
00:19:08
Speaker 2: Stop.
00:19:08
Speaker 1: At least two were in an ICU.
00:19:10
Speaker 2: Oh, that does sound like something they ingested.
00:19:12
Speaker 1: But what in God's name? It had to be in the water. The Gatorade station.
00:19:16
Speaker 2: But it had to have happened immediately, too. Think about that. If you ingest something or eat something, it takes a little while.
00:19:21
Speaker 3: I don't know. I mean, I guess it's sped up slightly, though, when you're running.
00:19:25
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true.
00:19:25
Speaker 1: Damn, yes. We've got a close eye on that one. And as runners, obviously, we have very much a vested interest in that story.
00:19:32
Speaker 2: Yeah, Santa Barbara Hot Marathon sounds lovely. Sounds awesome.
00:19:34
Speaker 3: All right, next up on the run, Kanye West has just set a record held by Kanye West. Over the weekend, he had a concert at AT & T Stadium in Dallas, which is now The biggest rap concert ever.
00:19:46
Speaker 1: Yes, the most ever to attend a hip-hop concert. It happened over the weekend, and they were there to see the guy we're told was canceled, who was anti-Semitic, who was praising Hitler, who liked Trump. That's the guy. Folks are still showing up for him. How many people attended this rap concert? 83,132 folks to see Kanye West. Wes, $ 18 million in a night at this stadium. Now, he set the record for the largest rap concert twice before this, Robes, and it happened this year. Wow. Kanye ain't canceled, is he?
00:20:22
Speaker 2: Look, he makes good music.
00:20:23
Speaker 1: Some of the best stuff of our lives, he does.
00:20:26
Speaker 2: That's the issue.
00:20:27
Speaker 1: He said that's the issue.
00:20:29
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, because you want to cancel him, but then you love his music, so what do you do? You talk about this all the time with Michael Jackson.
00:20:35
Speaker 2: With R. Kelly, you know, you get into these dilemmas, these, you know, what should I do? What is right?
00:20:41
Speaker 1: They're showing up, baby. They are showing up for you.
00:20:52
Speaker 3: All right, next up on the run, not sure how we feel about this one. Actually, I think I kind of do know how I feel about this one. The college football playoff is expanding. Remember how it started out years ago? It was just a four-team playoff.
00:21:05
Speaker 1: It's kind of cool. Everybody was desperate to be one of those four teams, and everybody argued about who was number five and six and got left out. I enjoyed it. Then they expanded it to 12 teams. I didn't mind that so much. Roll-ups give other schools an opportunity. But then team 13 and 14 and 15 started arguing, we want to get in. We should have gotten in. 24 teams, baby. Starting next season.
00:21:25
Speaker 2: Jesus.
00:21:26
Speaker 1: That's a lot.
00:21:27
Speaker 2: That is a lot.
00:21:28
Speaker 1: That's a lot. So- The problem we have with this is that they are eliminating conference championships, which eliminates the SEC championship that happens in Atlanta every year that is just a must-see event. And I don't know, Robes, 24 teams now. You have top 25. It's a top 25 ranking. So that's a lot of teams, baby.
00:21:53
Speaker 2: Number 25 is going to be mad.
00:21:55
Speaker 1: Pissed. It's going to happen. So mad. 25, 26, and 27 are going to go, well, we should look at it. Yeah. That's a lot of teams. Even 24. We won't make the cut in Arkansas.
00:22:05
Speaker 2: Maybe one year.
00:22:06
Speaker 1: Love y'all.
00:22:06
Speaker 2: Not this year.
00:22:07
Speaker 1: This is not going well.
00:22:08
Speaker 2: All right, speaking of angry fans. Oh, yes.
00:22:11
Speaker 1: It was the last leg.
00:22:12
Speaker 2: Yes, final leg of the run.
00:22:15
Speaker 3: Power to the disappointed and outraged TikTokers who purchased that $ 150 Skims advent calendar for the holiday season. Well, guess what, everybody? Kim Kardashian is giving you your money back. There was outrage after a TikTok video went viral showing an influencer opening up all 12 days of the advent calendar, revealing... Keychains, hair ties, hair pins, a little ornament. After showing each item, the TikToker said, Kimberly, you're genuinely about to piss me off. This is way too expensive. Other people chimed in with box full of pranks. This is straight up disrespectful.
00:22:56
Speaker 1: Box full of pranks.
00:22:57
Speaker 3: I wouldn't pay $ 15. People calling it a scam, saying that these were items that you could find in a dollar store. I mean, they were vicious and brutal and unrelenting about what they thought about this advent calendar.
00:23:11
Speaker 1: Yes, I'm looking at it. By the way, it's $ 150.
00:23:12
Speaker 3: People were pissed off. That's why I'm making the face. They thought there should have been more in there.
00:23:16
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:23:17
Speaker 1: This is why I'm making the face I'm making. That's $ 150. There's a comb in there and some hair ties from Duane Reade.
00:23:23
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's exactly what people were saying.
00:23:25
Speaker 1: So the SKIMS response.
00:23:27
Speaker 3: Was swift, and I do think this will do and this will go a long way. We're aware of the feedback some customers have shared about the SKIMS advent calendar, and we've listened carefully.
00:23:38
Speaker 2: That's funny. The feedback is like, you suck.
00:23:41
Speaker 3: Since the calendar didn't meet expectations, the company has personally contacted every customer who purchased the calendar and offered them a choice of a full refund or a SKIMS credit to put towards other products. Look, I think if you're going to do this surprise 12 days, you need to actually put in a cute pair of underwear. You need to have some actual products that people will get excited about that make it a value for $ 150.
00:24:07
Speaker 1: They threw this together, didn't they?
00:24:10
Speaker 3: They weren't thinking about... Especially think about expectations. When you have a surprise... You think it's going to be so exciting. It's a letdown if it isn't. Surprises have to be carefully orchestrated, and that includes advent calendars.
00:24:25
Speaker 1: No day in this advent calendar where you have opened it and been excited about what you see. These are little tchotchkes. These are little trinkets. Yeah, this is weird.
00:24:34
Speaker 2: So then it should have been $ 39.
00:24:35
Speaker 3: 99.
00:24:35
Speaker 2: Maybe.
00:24:35
Speaker 3: Not $ 150. Maybe $ 29.
00:24:36
Speaker 2: 99. All right, but Kim's making it right.
00:24:43
Speaker 3: And so everybody will get their money back. All right. And on this Tuesday, we leave you with our quote of the day. You spend most of your life inside of your head. Make it a nice place to be.
00:24:57
Speaker 1: Yeah.
00:24:57
Speaker 2: We clean up our homes. We clean up our kitchens and our bathrooms.
00:25:01
Speaker 3: We make it tidy so that we feel better, but we don't do it with our brains, with our minds, with all the clutter floating around, the self-loathing and the what-ifs and should-haves and could-haves.
00:25:12
Speaker 2: Get rid of that. You spend most of your life inside of your head. Make it a nice place to be. And with that, everyone, we always appreciate you running with us. I'm Amy Romo.
00:25:23
Speaker 1: And I'm TJ Holmes. Run soon.
