I want to hire a private investigator some folks in the best. ABC Tuesdays TV's hottest PI is back. You sure you ready to take on a serial killer? It's like a dozen more likely explanations other than serial killer. Alright, maybe none it does. In Florida, crime has no offseason. I just heard you were shot at today with a rocket launcher. Well missed. RJ Decker Tuesdays 10-9 Central on ABC next day on Hulu. Welcome to Monday's edition of the Morning Show Podcast. Lucky. Because you deserve a better morning. I guess you could say things are getting pretty serious. Good morning. I know we still have one more game this evening, but hopefully you're an FL team of choice. Decided to win this weekend. Yeah, they did. Yeah, well we didn't even win this weekend for the Seahawks. That was a week. Made a week. It feels like they haven't played since the Super Bowl. We are old news. A condolences to the people in Cleveland.
It looks like your Browns are still very much. The Browns? The Browns? Oh, no, there were a lot of good football games. I know you were kind of out and about on Sunday, but did you catch any of the games? The Giants Cowboys game, which is always a good rivalry to watch. Yeah. That would be about it. I was locked into the Saints and the Lions because it came on like it was only the last two minutes that I was able to watch. And amazing ending over time, all of that stuff. Saints went for two, missed it, cost themselves the game. So the script writers are added again. They are added again. But let's get into the podcast. Welcome to the Morning Show podcast. My name is Anthony. I'm Carl Lemory and today is Monday, September 14th, 2026. The Core 4. The Four Headlines You Need to Know. Is the United States of America going to start bombing another country? The answer is very likely. And I guess I can't say we're going to start bombing another country. We're just going to probably bomb it more. But if you missed the headlines over the weekend,
it might sound unrelated. But in Yemen, they've been going through a civil war for like 10 years. The faction of the Yemeni army that is backed by Iran took over a base of the faction of the Yemeni government that is backed by Saudi Arabia. Okay, so they have their civil war, those are the two backers of each faction. And the reason this is such a big deal is because the base they were able to take over is very close to giving them access to closing off parts of the Red Sea. And on top of that, there's a faction of the Iraqi army that is backed by Iran as well. And they have forced Saudi Arabia to basically close one of their pipelines down. So Saudi Arabia is having a very tough time between the Red Sea, the straight of four moves, and this pipeline exporting the only thing they export, which is oil, which is causing our prices to go up. And now the Saudi Arabian government is asking the US to step in and bomb their enemies in Yemen even more than we have already.
So it looks like the war that we started with Iran could spread now. And at some point, there's going to be a time where we have to ask if this is actually a world war because of how many countries are involved. This is quite literally breaking news because it just popped up in my inbox as we were recording this podcast. So like bear with me here. If you get prescription medication from international pharmacies, a Canadian pharmacy because it's much cheaper, you need to stock up on your prescriptions and your refills now. Why? Because the US government is going to block international prescription shipments starting next month. So for example, I had to order a medication through a Canadian pharmacy because it was $800 for me in the US and 80 in Canada. And then the same thing for our cat Max, her asthma medication, her inhaler, I think it was like, I don't know, less than a hundred bucks from Canada for like two things of it.
And in the US, they were telling me it's going to be I think $1,400. So the email I got that says if you rely on international pharmacy for affordable medication, place your order now and stock up this specific place that is emailing me, it's Canada pharmacy online says you need to place all available refills and other orders immediately and well in advance of October 22nd. Entry into the US for these prescriptions will be prohibited if the medication being imported is commercially available in the United States. So now if it's not available, technically the shipment should still go through. But even if it costs significantly more in the US, they are going to block your shipment from getting here. So virtually all prescription medication parcels will be prohibited from entering the US beginning October 22nd of next month. And as we've seen with the government, they can claim this and then walk it back like four days later. It's still a breaking story, but something definitely to be aware of.
Also, I just I had up that there is an American nonprofit advocacy group you can reach out to. It's the campaign for personal prescription importation. So if you need help, they're the people to reach out to. How about a little geography pop quiz for your Monday morning? Okay. What are the four independent countries that make up the United Kingdom? Britain. Britain? Well, Britain is the island. What? Northern Ireland is part of the UK. Ireland itself is very much not part of the UK. That's like a very big deal. Scotland. There you go. I know that's one. That's one. So you're at two. What else is there? England. Oh, that's what I meant when I said Britain. And Wales. Oh, yep, them too. So keep that in mind because a lot of people I feel like get very confused. So it's Scotland. Yes. Northern Ireland. Yes. England. And Wales. So I think it's a lot of people that I feel like get very confused. So it's Scotland. Yes. England. And Wales. For now. The reason I say that is because Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales have all said they are
getting together to see if they would like to vote for their absolute independence, leaving the United Kingdom ununited and not really a kingdom. Oh, my God. So this will most likely not happen. I believe they had a similar vote about 10 years ago. So it's one of these things that pops up pretty often. But that is the thing that is on the table. The city of Denver is suing the White House for something they haven't done yet. It's a preemptive lawsuit to prevent armed ICE agents from being deployed to polling places during November's midterm elections. Now the administration has already said that ICE is not planning to patrol polling places. But the Department of Homeland Security said ICE will show up to polling places if there's a security threat or agents are serving a warrant. So they're giving themselves an out of being like, we can show up. Maybe we will. Maybe we won't.
So this lawsuit is trying to prevent them from showing up at all. Right now it seems like Denver is the only place doing this. But we'll see. A quick reminder. It's not all doom and gloom. Here's today's hope for humanity. Shout out to the greatest city in America, New York City. Because this eight months, the first eight months of the year have been the safest eight months to begin a year in New York City's history. But keep in mind, if this sounds like we've been mentioning how safe New York is, it's because they keep breaking safety records. And all of the numbers you're going to hear are actually lower than last year, which was the safest year in New York City's history. So they keep breaking the same records. But here's what I love the most because anytime you bring up New York City, someone inevitably, it's like never been to a city goes, yeah, but the subways. Here's what I love. Not only did major crime decline 6.6% across the city, but according to their press release, the NYPD says they have delivered record low violent crime in the subway system with zero
shooting incidents, zero shooting victims, zero murders or rapes for the entire month of August. This is following months and months and months of very safe New York City living. Now do these numbers mean that nothing bad ever happens in New York? No. No, it's a city of 8 million people who live there and about another 10 that come into either visit or work. That's entirely too many Americans in one place to be trusted. But it does show that our biggest city can be a shining light in reforming safety and making it safe for all of its citizens. I want to hire a private investigator, some folks in the best. ABC Tuesdays TV's hottest PI is back. Are you sure you're ready to take on a serial killer? It's like a dozen more likely explanations other than serial killer. All right, maybe none of it does. In Florida, crime has no offseason. I just heard you were shot at today with a rocket launcher. Well missed.
RJ Decker Tuesday's 10-night Central on ABC next day on Hulu. Think quick. It's two second tunes. We've got Crystal from Tennessee checking in. Good morning, Crystal. Good morning. And now you've been on. You played cover lovers against your other sister and you lost. You decided you were going to bring back a different sister to try to win. Yes. And that different sister is Danielle. Good morning Danielle. Good morning. You started listening to the morning show podcast after both of your sisters were on. Now yes, how do you think you're going to do up against Crystal today? I don't know. We'll see. Perfect. Well, here's the more important question. How have you enjoyed the morning show podcast now that you're a newer-ish listener? I really like it. I listen to it every day. Just this morning, my daughter, I heard her come up the stairs just as cover lovers was starting to play. So I paused it and made sure she got in here so she could listen and play tape. Oh, my God.
You know what? You get one fake point for saying something nice about our podcast and Crystal, you get one fake point for wearing a You Look Great Zip Up hoodie, which I think are those still available at YouLookGreat.co. They sure are. Damn, look at that plug. You guys know the rules for anyone who's new to the podcast. We're going to play two seconds of a song. And the contestants have to give us the correct title and artist one point for each of those. And if they get zero, their sibling can steal three rounds. Carlymory, who is going first? Crystal. Let's see how you do this time against this sister. Here is your first late 90s to second tune. Let's see. No, it's no, I don't want no scrubs. Destiny's child. No scrubs. Destiny's child. Okay. No scrubs. Destiny's child gets you one point.
Well done. It's no scrubs, but it's TLC. And that came out what? 99. 99 representing the late 90s there. Fast forwarded to four. Now we're going to pivot over to Danielle's part of round one. Danielle, you are representing the early 2000s. Here is your first two second tune. Poxic, Britney Spears. Poxic. When did Britney drop that one, Carlymory? 2003. 2003. All right. Now heading into round two of the score. Crystal with one and Danielle with two in the lead. Crystal. Here is your second. Two second tune. Okay. I have no idea. Nothing. You don't even want to say any artist in the 90s just to maybe get it. I don't know.
Zero points, which means your sister Danielle Kensteel if she recognizes that title and artist. That would be smooth by Rob Thomas and Santana. Here's the interesting thing. And this is where technology comes into play. So Danielle is sitting at home. She's got her headset on with, you know, headphone, little mouthpiece and everything. Crystal is lakeside using a phone. So maybe that'll maybe that'll make a difference in today's game. Danielle, you can pull away here with a pretty big lead. Here is your next two second tune. I think it's safe to say, Crystal, you are losing to another sibling in your second show in here on the morning show podcast.
But Crystal, here is your next two second tune. I don't know. Zero points. It is a tough one. Giving Danielle a chance to steal even more points here. I don't know that one. Zero points. I think this is one of your favorite songs. It is. It's say love be by be which. I would have me. Yeah. It was like popular for like one month in the 90s. And listen, it is round three. It is the hardest of the three rounds. And to round out the game, Danielle, here is your last two second tune. Oh, I know that. Oh, I know it, but I can't think of what it is. It's not coming to me. You're going to be so bad. Zero points. Crystal, you could steal. Make this a little bit closer here. And I know it's a little bit. Zero points there, Karla Marie. It's Averlavine complicated. Uh-huh.
I had a thing the whole song forget to there. The final tally, Karla Marie, what do we got? Danielle, what's X and Crystal? At least she was on the board with one. Well, Danielle, congratulations. You are today's champion and in the world of your siblings, another loss for Crystal. Crystal, do you have any more siblings you can bring on? No. Maybe we're going to have to tap into cousin's necks. Um, for Crystal, thank you so much. Not only for being part of the little morning show podcast community we're building. Yeah, but for introducing us to two of your sisters. Yeah, it's awesome. And bring them into the family. No problem. I love you all. I love you the best. I love you too. And one last time for our champion, Danielle, congratulations. Thank you. It's history, history highlights from this week in history. We're going to start this week's history, history by going to yesterday because on September
13, 1990, law and order premiered on NBC. Television has never been the same since. No, and that original series went on to become one of the longest running prime time dramas in TV history. So that's not law and order SVU. That's a different show. Yeah. So there was law and order, but then like technically the spin off was SVU. So almost like even longer. Yeah. In 1990. I was two years old. It is just wild to think about. But okay. So tomorrow, September 15, 1985, Nike released the original. Tomorrow, September 15th, what year? 1985. Is that the original AMEX? Air Jordan won. Michael Jordan's partnership with the brand was taking off and that was kind of like the beginning of sneaker culture. So this gives you time if you want to celebrate tomorrow. Make sure you have your Jordan's ready to go. Okay. Wednesday, September 16, 1993, Frazier premiered, which is great because like obviously that
was in Seattle. It was really cool. It's a radio show in Seattle. I have a very weird for us to move out here and have a radio show in Seattle. But that was the cheer spin off. It ran for 11 seasons and it became at that time like one of TV's most acclaimed sitcoms. Thursday, September 17th, 1787. So we're going far back for this one. The US Constitution was signed. Nice. And we haven't listened to it ever since. Sometimes we do. I want to hire a private investigator. Some folks in the desk. ABC Tuesdays TV's hottest PI is back. You sure you ready to take on a serial killer? It's like a dozen more likely explanations other than serial killer. All right. Maybe another does. In Florida, crime has no offseason. I just heard you were shot at today with a rocket launcher. Well missed. RJ Decker Tuesdays 10 9th Central on ABC next day on Hulu. The big social media sports entertainment.
It's all in here. It's pop stop. We gave New York some love and today is hope for humanity. But let's give Seattle some love in pop stop. Ready for this car? All right. According to Spotify, now that this artist has 3.4 billion streams on this song, they are now the most streamed hip hop song of all time. Can you tell me? The artist and the song. I bet you. I bet you would say weekend blinding lights. No, I said we were shouting out Seattle. Why would it be the weekend for Toronto? Sorry, sorry. I just really with their kind of stand that song. I think that is actually the most played song ever. It's either him or Ed Sheeran. Okay, wait. Seattle hip hop artist. Yeah. In a Mack Lamor. Mack Lamor and Ryan Lewis now hold the most streams for a hip hop song ever on Spotify. Do you know the song? No way. Surfshops. It's not a surf shop. No, no, it's not a surf shop.
That's good as surf shop is. Well, I don't know. I got it. Can't hold us. Oh, that's the follow up single. Two thrift shop. That's a good song. That song. I mean, granted we are in Seattle. But when they play it at any arena, every sporting event, women's basketball, baseball, soccer, football, the place goes nuts. Yeah, no, it's crazy. So shout out to Mack Lamor and our very good friend who we met once and hung out with the ones Ryan Lewis for becoming the most streamed hip hop artists ever. After 30 years on TV, Judge Judy is officially stepping away from camera and putting down the gavel. Judy Shinelin, which is her real name. I thought her first name was Judge. Yeah, it's not who is now 83 years old over a tire when Judy justice ends in October. Now her reason, which is so relatable is she doesn't want to do hair and makeup anymore. I, oh, poor baby. I get it. But she's still keeping it in the fan because her son who is a former district attorney, Adam
Levy is getting his own courtroom show called Adams Law, which premieres today. So she's going to stay behind the scenes as a producer. She said she's ready for family time and afternoon neps. Me too. Have we stopped accepting retirement? Why are all of these 80 year olds still working and shout out to Judge Judy, like do your thing, whatever. But the fact that she's like, oh, I'm still on as a producer. Haven't you made enough money? It's crazy. Go do something else. Go take your nap. Don't get keep share the morning show podcast with friends, family and co-workers. Thank you. Before we bring episode 1035 to a close, which I'm looking at it on my sheet that says 1,035 and I could just think of 103 five K.C. Oh, shout out to K.C. You the beat of New York. Now we can start shouting out radio stations for like the next 50 shows. Well, yeah, we kind of got pretty far down the dial though already. If we're starting at one on three five, we miss Z 100. We miss Z one. We missed everything in the 90s. We've only got like, I don't know, 10 left.
But anyway, before we close out this episode, which is 1,035, there is a birthday shout out. We need to do a car. Mr. Henry Davidson, who said his birthday was actually on 912. So we are going to celebrate it today. And he shares a birthday with his cousin Maya, who is celebrating her 30th today. It's awesome. So Henry and Maya, happy birthday.
