series.

Join me, Lily Herman, as we dive into the under-explored pockets of F1.

You know Roll Doll, he thought of Willy Wonka in the BFG, but did you know he was a spy?

In the new podcast, the secret world of Roll Doll, I'll tell you that story, and much,

much more.

What?

You probably won't believe it either.

Was this before?

You wrote his stories?

I must have been.

Okay, I don't think that's true.

I'm telling you, because I was a spy.

the expectations, and the real work behind it all.

As a woman in the industry, you're always underestimated, so you have to work extra hard

You know, I like to say I was kind of like a silent ninja.

Morning Run with Amy and TJ.

An iHeart radio podcast.

Hey there, everyone, and welcome to Morning Run.

It is Monday, March 2nd, I'm Amy Robock.

And I'm TJ Holmes, and we want to get you right to some updates we are actually just getting

in the past several minutes before recording this.

We are on this run going to make stops in several places, Austin, Greenville, South Carolina,

Boulder, Los Angeles, and even in Woodsboro.

But we need to start right now with a statement we're just getting from US Central Command.

They are confirming that three US fighter jets were shot down in Kuwait by the Kuwaitis.

Yes, they are describing this as a friendly fire incident.

The video is everywhere, it is dramatic, and the set calm statement that just was released

states that yes, three US F-15E strike eagles flying in support of Operation Epicury went

down over Kuwait due to an apparent friendly fire incident during active combat.

That included attacks from Iranian aircraft, ballistic missiles, and drones.

The US Air Force fighter jets were mistakenly shot down by Kuwaiti air defenses.

All six air crew ejected safely have been safely recovered and are in stable condition.

Kuwaiti has acknowledged this incident, and we are grateful for the efforts of the Kuwaiti

defense forces and their support in this ongoing operation.

They say the cause of the incident is under investigation, and they will release additional

information when it becomes available.

Good to hear there.

Okay, this happens.

We see it in war, Rose, but those pictures this morning were awfully dramatic.

Some of you may have seen them already.

But you see in particular one jet just falling flat in a spin going down to the ground.

Amazing.

All of them.

We're told they're stable.

I'm going to be okay.

It is remarkable that they were able to eject safely in time.

I want to continue on the run now.

The Pentagon also confirmed Sunday the first US military deaths in the war with Iran.

They were killed in action according to the Defense Department and the New York Times

is reporting.

They died after a US base in Kuwait once again.

What's attacked?

It all comes afterward this weekend that Iran's Supreme Leader and dozens of other members

of the Iranian leadership were killed in the US's Rayleigh attacks.

President Trump posted another address to social media late yesterday in which he promised

America will avenge their deaths.

But he also cautioned Americans that quote, sadly, there will likely be more before it ends.

That's the way it is.

The president also mentioned, I just thought this was interesting ropes.

He said in his initial statement announcing that the war was on.

Speaking to members of the Revolutionary Guard, speaking to military members in Iran, put

down your arms and give up or face certain death and you will have immunity.

He said in these comments, they're calling by the thousands wanting to give up.

Now it seemed like it was an ad lib part of his comments, but who are they calling?

Where are they calling?

What is that?

He said they're calling by the thousands wanting to put down their arms and give up.

It's unclear what that actually means or is specifically referencing.

No, well, President Trump and the remaining Iranian leadership don't seem to be on the

same page about negotiating a way out of this war.

The president commented during an interview Sunday that he's still ready and willing to

talk to the Iranians.

But the Iranian security chief, Ali LaRajani, suggest Iran is not ready and willing to

talk.

And I quote here, we will not negotiate with the United States.

That's about as clear as it gets and his statement was supposed to do his official ex account.

I want to continue on the run.

This is still a run war adjacent here, but a mass shooting in Austin happened on Sunday

as being investigated now as a possible act of terrorism.

This shooting left two people dead another 14 in the hospital.

The this all happened around 2 a.m. at a bar in the heart of the downtown Austin party scene.

Authorities say the suspect was circling the block several times before he eventually rolled

down his window and fired on people who were partying on the outdoor patio.

Yes, and they never got out of his vehicle and that part of the shooting, but then drove

to a parking lot nearby got out of that vehicle with a rifle and started shooting people

who were walking down the street.

Now this suspect was eventually shot and killed in a confrontation with police identified

as 53 year old in Diaga, Diagné, someone at the HSS Department of Homeland Security,

DHS, I should say, said came into this country in 2000 from Senegal, eventually married

an American citizen, but has what did become a naturalized US citizen?

Yes, and next up on the run, another mass shooting in Cincinnati sent nine people to the hospital,

but authorities say those nine, thankfully, do not have life threatening injuries.

This also early morning hour Sunday at a crowded nightclub in the city's east end neighborhood

as of this recording.

Those suspects and police have not identified a motive in this one.

All right, next up on the run, our hearts are going out to the campus community at the

University of Colorado.

That school and in particular, the football team are mourning the death of quarterback Dominic

Ponder.

Yeah, the backup QB died in a single vehicle crash.

Yesterday, police say he was driving a Tesla Model 3 when he lost control, some of the

details they give are pretty horrificate.

There sounds like an awful crash.

They do believe speed was involved, but hit a guardrail, hit a pole, then ended up down

in an embankment in the car, caught on fire.

It just sounds awful, but only one vehicle involved in this accident.

Oh, wow.

And Ponder was just 23 years old.

He was a transfer student who served, yes, as backup quarterback, coach Dion Sanders called

him one of his favorites, just an awful, awful story, an incredibly sad story out of

both.

So how campus communities are impacted like this to have a young person die so suddenly

and just, it's, it's an awful one.

And of course, this, we, people don't know your, your daughter is a sophomore out there

at Boulder now and, and we haven't talked to her about this yet.

She'll be waking up to this news and certainly this will be something that so many folks will

be talking about.

Look, you know, cars are the deadliest weapons we have in this country.

People talk about guns all the time, but yes, it's always so deeply concerning with cars

and speed.

So we certainly hope that people just slow down and realize how, how much it's important

to just remember your safety when you're on the roads.

All right.

Next leg of our run will take us to South Carolina, Reverend Jesse Jackson, getting a final

farewell in the state where he was born.

Jackson passed away February 17th at the age of 84.

He's not going to lie in state at the South Carolina Capitol today.

Yes, there have been events honoring his life that began last week in his hometown of Chicago.

Yes, of course, also the hometown of his rainbow push coalition.

After South Carolina, Jesse Jackson will return to Chicago for a memorial service and that

will be the big one where we will see so many people showing up there to honor the life

and legacy of Jesse Jackson.

All right.

Next up on the run, Michael Jordan just pulled off another three-peat of sorts and has

made NASCAR history, Jordan's race team, and in particular his driver, Tyler Reddick,

has now won the first three races of the NASCAR season.

It has never happened before.

This is not like a basketball team in the NBA.

Hey, we won our first three games.

No, no, no.

This is a different beast.

This has never happened before.

He won the circle of the Americas race in Austin yesterday just a week after winning in

Atlanta.

And before that, the big one, he won the season opening Daytona 500 and you know Tyler

Reddick's name, not because necessarily of the driver he is, but the controversy, I

guess we should say after that whole video with Michael Jordan celebrating with his son

after the Daytona 500.

Just gave him a little tug on his shorts, a little pad on the back, whatever you want

to call it.

I'm glad that controversy went away pretty quickly.

And there's a cool picture.

Everybody will remember.

Michael Jordan is first three-peat.

He's sitting by himself with the NBA trophy, championship trophy, and he's putting up three

fingers after a three-peat.

Tyler Reddick is holding the trophy and putting up three fingers and they put those two

images next to each other.

It's kind of cool.

I mean, that's just remarkable for Michael Jordan to have had the career he had.

What are you doing?

And now, yes.

Just still winning.

All right, folks, we'll stay with us here on this Monday morning run when we come back

a wonderful and deserved honor for Catherine O'Hara.

Last night, we'll explain what happened there, also explain what happened when Michael

be Jordan and Delroy Lindo get back on the stage at an award show.

Hope it went different this time and we'll tell you what we spent money on this weekend.

We put our money on a big winner at the box office.

Why hasn't a woman formally participated in a Formula One race weekend in over a decade?

Think about how many skills they have to develop at such a young age.

What can we learn from all of the new F1 romance novels suddenly popping up every year?

He still smelled of podium champagne and expensive friction.

And how did a 2023 event called Wagga Getten change the paddock forever?

That day is just seared into my memory.

I'm culture writer and F1 expert Lily Herman, and these are just a few of the questions

I'm tackling on no grip.

A Formula One culture podcast that dives into the under explored pockets of the sport.

In each episode, a different guest and I will go deeper into the wacky mishaps, scandals

and sagas, both on the track and far away from it, that have made F1 a delightful, decadent

dumpster fire for more than 75 years.

Listen to no grip on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

I'm Bailey Taylor, and this is Icarl.

You may know me from my Icarl series I've done on the streets of New York over the years,

while I've got good news.

I am bringing those interviews and many more to this podcast.

Yes, we will talk about the style and the success, but we are also talking about the pressure,

the expectations and the real work with the women's shaping culture right now.

As a woman in the industry, you're always underestimated, so you have to work extra hard

and you have to push the narrative in a way that doesn't compromise who you are in

your integrity.

You know, I like to say I was kind of like a silent ninja.

Each week, I have unfiltered conversations with female founders, creatives and leaders

to talk about ambition, visibility and what it really takes to build something meaningful

in the public eye.

Just being a nit girl isn't about the spotlight, it's about owning it.

I think the negatives need to be discussed and they need to be told to people who maybe

don't do this every day, just so they know what's really going on.

I feel like pulling the curtain back is important.

get your podcasts.

Icarl.

You know Roald Dahl, the writer who thought up Willy

Wonka, Matilda, and the BFG, but did you know he was also a spy?

Was this before he wrote his stories?

I must have been.

Our new podcast series, The Secret World of Roald Dahl, is a wild journey through the

hidden chapters of his extraordinary controversial life.

His job was literally to seduce the wives of powerful Americans, and he was really good

at it.

You probably won't believe it either.

Okay, I don't think that's true.

I'm telling you because I was a spy.

Did you know Dahl got cozy with the Roosevelt's, played poker with Harry Truman, and had

a long affair with a congresswoman, and then he took his talents to Hollywood, where he

worked alongside Walt Disney and Alfred Hitchcock, before writing a hit James Bond film.

How did this secret agent wind up as the most successful children's author ever, and

what darkness from his covert past seeped into the stories we read as kids?

The true story is stranger than anything he ever wrote.

Welcome back to this Monday Morning Run, and it was a bittersweet moment last night in

Los Angeles.

Catherine O'Hara, posthumously won a Best Actress Award at the 32nd Annual Acting Awards.

We say the 32nd Annual Acting Awards.

It also used to be called the Screen Actor Guild Awards.

Why do they change it?

The Sag Awards?

We all know that.

I really don't know.

Was it a marketing thing?

Was it a branding thing?

Screen Actress Guild?

Maybe people don't know what that is, but acting awards sound so general.

Yes, and people know what Sag is, like the Sag Awards.

Anyway, O'Hara was honored for her role in Apple TV's The Studio.

We need to finish watching these episodes.

We just got going late to the party.

Yes, we are.

But immediately, she is the star of the show.

You just can't help it.

You don't take your eyes off of her in this show, but Seth Rogen, who created the show,

accepted on her bath and in a touching speech encouraged people who might have people in

their lives that don't know about her.

To have them watch one of her films, he actually mentioned specific scenes from some of the movies

and he said, when they watched it, and as they're laughing, you say this to them, that's

Catherine O'Hara.

And we were lucky that we got to live in a world where she so generously shared her talents

with us.

It was a cool moment.

Listening to Seth Rogen talk about Catherine O'Hara reminded me of you.

He talked about how, yes, about how her brilliance and her just constant working mind.

He said he didn't want to tell any other actresses because he didn't want them to get any ideas,

but he said literally after every rehearsal, they would come back and she would have sent

them an email saying, for your consideration, and would have ways to rewrite her entire

scene.

And he said, in every damn time, it was better.

It made the scene better.

It made the show better.

And he just said, that was her brilliance.

She said, her mind was constantly on fire and she was constantly rewriting.

And it reminded me of you.

As soon as I read that, I got tearful, just remembering her brilliance, but also thinking

of yours.

Oh my goodness.

Great.

To please it.

We will cut this out.

She is not in any way comparing talent of Catherine O'Hara to any possible semblance

of talent.

I actually am.

But okay.

Next up on the run, we stay in Hollywood at the Actors Awards.

That's okay.

I guess that's what we're calling them.

And it was a very different award show one week later for Michael B. Jordan and Delroy

Lindo actor.

Absolutely.

Actor Michael B. Jordan and the center's cast came out on top in the final weeks before

the Oscars.

Yeah.

Michael B.

Named best actor for his dual roles as twin brothers in centers.

He beat it out.

He beat out.

I mean, the usual cast of characters and we've seen all of these Leonardo DiCaprio, Timothy

Chalamet, Jesse Plemons, Ethan Hawke, and there was a couple of other names.

Again.

One's the same.

Who's the guy?

I'm sorry.

The foreign language film.

I can't remember anything.

I am never coming up with that.

He pulled off a couple of upsets.

But again, this has been cool.

But Michael B. Jordan said the ride has been unbelievable.

Thank you for welcoming me in and making me feel seen.

Y'all know how I feel about y'all.

Yeah.

It was very sweet.

He gave, he paid homage to all the other actors in his category.

He was very humble.

It was a beautiful speech.

And then when sinners won best ensemble, by the way, up against the cast of one battle

after another Frankenstein hamnet, Marty Supreme, Jordan's co star Delroy Lindo said making

sinners was an incredible journey.

He said every single day we brought ourselves, our hearts, our souls to this endeavor.

Yeah.

Just a day earlier at the NAACP Image Awards, Lindo made his first public comments since

that whole inward controversy when the man with Tourette shouted that out at him and

Michael B.

When they were on stage at the BAFTA Awards, he said, quote, before we start, I'd like to

officially say we appreciate, I appreciate.

We appreciate all the support and the love that we have been shown in the aftermath of

what happened last weekend.

And what does it mean?

It means a lot to us as an honor to be here amongst our people this evening to classic

case of something that could have been very negative becoming very positive.

Hmm.

I love that.

And then he received a standing ovation.

I just thought that was cool.

They didn't say anything in the aftermath, but he saved it for this moment.

And it was so perfectly said.

It was a, it was a nice moment at the NAACP Image Awards that we mentioned here happened

as well.

And Deon Cole was a comedian who did that at the top of the show.

He acknowledged that he was saying a prayer to the group, probably mostly black folks in

NAACP.

He said, let us bow our heads in prayer.

He said, please, if there are any white men in the audience with Tourette's, please, Lord,

get to them.

It's not going to go the way they think it's going to go.

He made a funny comment, everybody laughed.

You know what?

It was cool.

He said that's incredibly cool because they, you know what, it's, it's, it's Michael

B. Jordan, it's Delaware, Linda, just for them to be able to celebrate the love that

they felt versus that hateful word.

That's pretty impressive.

And I'm glad they didn't, they didn't acknowledge the guy at all, right?

Nope.

Because he didn't acknowledge them.

Yep.

That seems about right.

All right.

I feel my heart rate going up again.

Okay.

Next up.

All right.

How about this for the final leg of our run?

We happily contributed our $47 to the 97 million dollar opening of Scream 7 at the box

office.

Biggest in their franchise history.

The biggest opening, this broke 30 years ago.

Scream was 30 years ago.

The first one.

And 97 movies later, Nev Campbell was a big draw.

Yes.

Because they lost the other two big stars, uh, Barara and she got fired for something she

said about Palestine, and then what was it, uh, General Ortega was a part of the franchise

as well.

She's not back.

So they brought back Nev Campbell and something worked, however, it didn't work on critics.

It has actually pretty awful reviews in the 30s on Ryan Tomatoes, I believe.

But audience review is high up there, right?

78% or so.

So ghost phase, no matter what, it's proved to be an enduring big screen killer, 97 million

dollars in the opening.

I think 30 of that came from overseas, but yeah, we went and checked it out.

We see what the critics mean about the criticism, but yeah, it is, you know what?

You know what you're getting.

And I think that's why we went into it, even with the bad reviews saying, you know, what

we get the formula, we get the franchise.

And I even said this, look, the acting was amazing.

It wasn't scary.

I mean, you kind of, but I thought the first five minutes were wildly entertaining.

And every single actor who was a part of that movie was phenomenal.

No offense to anybody else, but this might have been the best ensemble cast in a Scream

7.

This in a Scream movie.

This might have been it's true.

I'm trying to think to some others.

This might, these were talented folks and hey, even if the script wasn't a plus plus

the acting was.

Yes.

That is very, very true.

All right.

All right.

Our quote.

And no offense to the script writer.

I'm just trying to.

Yeah.

You know, I think we've gotten used to horror has now taken.

It's elevated.

They have so many movies like even sinners.

Let's talk about that.

Just taking the genre of horror and making it.

It's not just some throwaway script.

These are weapons.

Yes.

Interesting.

Edge of your seat.

What's going to happen next throwing in all sorts of, you know, just really incredible twists

in turns.

It had, the game has been, it has been increased since Scream started 30 years ago.

But every once in a while, you know, a palette cleanser of a white woman running through

the forest and tripping over the one log.

You know what?

I like that.

Every once in a while you still need that.

It was a palette cleanser.

I appreciate that.

All right.

With all of this crazy news out there.

I saw this on Instagram actually yesterday and it made my shoulders just actually fall

down.

And so I wanted to have this as our quote of the day on this Monday with all that's taken

place over the weekend.

Don't forget to imagine the best case scenario too.

Yeah.

That's it.

I love that.

I felt like we need this quote in our lives today.

Everyone.

I know we all get, it's overwhelming.

It's scary.

We've got terror threats and heightened alerts and we're at war and Americans are dying and

people around the world are dying and it's just, we see F-16s falling out of the sky.

This is scary stuff.

Don't forget to imagine the best case scenario too.

It's important.

There is hope.

There is positivity in the world.

It's, it took me a little while and it takes a little training, but every, how many times

in your life do you say, okay, I got to prepare for the worst case scenario.

I've got to prepare for the worst.

All right.

The worst case scenario.

We barely ever stop and think, okay, what if this does work out?

Yeah.

And I think so.

I'll, I'll take, I'll say this.

Sometimes we think we don't want to jinx it, right?

Somehow we get superstitious, but that is a silly notion.

I'm Gabby Burst and we love to mention her at least once a week, but this whole notion

of manifesting things good in your life.

So yes, let's, let's focus.

We're going to have our energy or our thoughts consumed with something.

Let's imagine the best case scenario.

Let's imagine it all working out.

All right.

Today's going to work out.

All right.

And with that, everyone, thank you for running with us.

I'm Amy Robach.

And I'm TJ Holmes.

Again, look for a number of updates here in our feed.

Today we'll be updating you here shortly, expecting a Pentagon press briefing this morning.

After we listen to that, a lot of news likely going to come out.

You can look for another update from us on our feed here, but we always appreciate

you running with us.

I'm TJ Holmes and we go talk to you also.

Did you say you didn't already?

I did already.

Okay.

I'll see you all soon.

This is Chelsea, handler from Dear Chelsea.

After the big game like most people, I kept thinking about the commercials.

And there was one that stayed with me.

It was from the Blue Square Alliance against hate and it wasn't loud or flashy.

It showed a Jewish kid being targeted at school and another student who chose not to ignore

it.

As someone who was Jewish, that moment felt very real to me.

Not dramatic, just familiar.

And what struck me was how clearly it showed that hate doesn't always announce itself.

But the impact is still huge.

If you saw the Blue Square spot during the big game, it's worth thinking about.

And if you want to show support, sharing the Blue Square is one small way to do that.
