Here is the transcript for Hour 3, Segment 1 of The Tara Show, with guest host Ryan Wrecker filling in on Labor Day (Monday, September 7, 2026): Hey, welcome back! Thank you for hanging out with us on this Labor Day morning. It's a holiday, which means—in radio terms—skeleton crews and less people listening. Unfortunately, that's what happens on holidays, you know. A lot of times listening comes from driving to work, you're in the car. If you listen at home, I really do appreciate it. If you listen on the podcast, I appreciate that, too. I'm filling in for Tara every once in a while, and a lot of times it's around holidays. I think I'll be back around Thanksgiving here in a few months. But, uh, if you wanted to reach me in between the shows: @RyanWrecker on Twitter, Ryan Wrecker Radio on Facebook. I also host Coast to Coast AM with George Noory. I do that a couple of times a month, so you may hear me doing the overnight shows here on WORD every once in a while, which is a lot of fun. Uh, a few things I want to get to. And being that it is a holiday week, did President Trump dye his hair brown? I mean, uh, people are posting photos online, he's kind of got this new look, and he does this every once in a while. I remember during his first presidency, he kind of changed his hairstyle around a little bit, his signature hairstyle around, and everyone said, "Woah! What's going on there?" And then it was back to normal the next day. And I've seen a lot of people report this online: President Trump debuts new brown hairdo, and people are shocked. So did he just dye his hair? Is that what's going on? It just looks different. And rightfully so, when you—when you have the same hairstyle forever and it's part of your trademark, as in that's how people kind of recognize you in a way, uh, they know who you are, they know what you look like. But the hair is part of everything that goes along with it, it's a package deal, so when you change one thing in the package deal, that is something else. So I think people are going to look online and see that. I don't think it's going to stick around. You know, maybe it's Labor Day and that's the fashion trend, I don't know about. You know, maybe he just like, "I don't feel like doing the whole hair today." I'm like that, too, in ways. It's—I keep my hair short, I shave it, but when it gets a little bit long, sometimes you don't feel like shaving your head again, and I just, you know, do it at home. I cut my own hair, I'm one of those guys, weird people, you know. But sometimes it gets a little bit too long, and you know, you put the headphones on too long and your hair goes crazy, so you kind of have to like mess with it. That's the closest I'll get. So if he's just coming off of Air Force One and the hair's just a little bit wild because he's working all night and all day, give him a break, okay? Uh, the other story that I think a lot of people are talking about: Five dead after the Amazon-branded cargo plane overruns runway in Miami, striking multiple vehicles. It's pretty terrible. I'm looking at the NBC News write-up of this: The Boeing 767-300 aircraft overran the runway just before 2:00 PM on Sunday. The plane, 21 Air Flight 7598, was arriving from San Juan, Puerto Rico, according to Federal Aviation Administration officials. So, when you hear overrun the runway, sometimes you think he was trying to take off, but didn't take off, had to abort landing or abort take-off, but that's not the case. So the plane overran the runway as it was coming in from Puerto Rico and struck multiple vehicles, came to a rest at a field next to the airport. And I'm looking at pictures of this. Didn't we just have a UPS truck—a UPS plane that did something very similar? Here's the thing that surprises me, and I understand that you're kind of short on space when you're talking about major metropolitan cities, but I thought every runway had an emergency area with a bunch of sand at the end to stop this fro ...
