Morning Run with Amy and T.J.

An I-Heart Radio podcast.

Good morning, everyone.

And welcome to Morning Ron.

It's Friday.

April 3rd, I'm Amy Robock.

And I'm T.J. Holmes.

And on this Friday, off the top, the thing we would encourage you to do this weekend, it's dance with a stranger. Oh, I was like, what are we telling people to do? Dance with a stranger. You all, these are long weeks. They're sometimes depressing weeks when you look at the news and we're in it every day and we just started here in Rhodes are like, ah, I'm so uninspired. And we had a great song playing. And really, the

lyrics are dance with a stranger. Look around the room, lock eyes with somebody you don't know, go over, say, how you doing? Listen to the answer and commiserate. It's just a, it should be our national theme song. Just dance with a stranger. You just get to know each other better. I'm in a move this morning.

I'm over all the ugliness in the world.

There's been a lot lately.

You look at the headlines and they can get you down. So I know we were literally just having this conversation just to, sometimes you just have to stop. Pause, look around you. You will find blessings. You will find reasons to be grateful. You will find reasons to be inspired that there is

good in the world. You're right. You know what? Saw a story this morning, two-year-old kid,

ringing the bell. Be cancer. God liver transplant. That was a beautiful story. That was a great story.

So let's start with that. But hello to you all on this Friday. We have a very important, very busy, very

breaking news even in a lot of ways, morning run this morning. We're about to take this run with you all after we just came back from a quick two-mile run here in New York. The weather's getting a little better. So we're getting a chance to make these runs before we actually do news. Yes, it's not so cold. It was nice and foggy. The sun was just rising. It was

very Stephen Kingy. Okay. So you all forgive me if you hear my, I'm actually still wearing my running

jacket. It's a little loud. I don't know how you kept those sweaty clothes on. I had to take,

oh my gosh, I was dying when I walked into this steamy apartment. Wow. So, folks, enjoy this smelly version of the morning run.

And we're going to start on the run this morning. We're going to give you the latest with the shutdown.
