Speaker 1 (00:01):
It's the Fresh Show, and this is what's trending, all right, guys,
the stories about the hurricane and the cleanup. I mean,
it's just unfortunately, it's every day it seems like a
new challenge. One hundred and sixty two people have died,
many more missing as communities work to clean up Hurricane
Helene's catastrophic damage. Six days after the storm hit, residency
(00:23):
in North Carolina are still struggling to access necessities like
food and water. Thousands are without power, and travel remains
dangerous with hundreds of roads closed. President Joe Biden's expected
to fly over Ashville, where the damage from Helene was
so severely narrowed, has so severely narrowed access to the
city that his motorcate can't make it it. I have
to ask, probably not his idea. I'm sure he wants
(00:45):
to see the devastation. Is that really know what people
want to see? And I don't care what politician it is,
because other politicians have done this before. I think they
did it during Katrina as well. They fly Air Force
one over it so the president can look out the
window and see how bad it is, Like, can't we
show him some pig like I feel like that's insensitive.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Unless he's on the ground. Yeah, I mean, well he's not.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
They're saying that the motor kid can't make it in
so they can't properly protect him, so they're just gonna
fly over and Air Force one. Yeah, that's kind of low.
So he can see it. I feel like we can
show him some videos or something like this. It's terrible,
and I don't know, maybe for some reason he needs
to see it himself, but I don't know that if
I'm on the ground cleaning up damage from what remains
(01:26):
of whatever I have, that I want to look up
and see, you know, Air Force one flying over and
however much that costs to do, I don't know. I
don't necessarily love that, but I'm you know, it's been
done before, so I'm not necessarily blaming it on any
one person.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
But how about we just when he.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Can come, he can come in the meantime, send all
the money that you were going to spend to fly
Air Force one and all the security that you needed
to be on the ground, Send all that money to FEMA,
and then they can show up and save the day.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Right.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Elon Musk is doing something nice. He's deploying more Starlinks
to western North Carolina. Tesla and space X founder Elon
Musk has agreed to send dozens of Starlink receivers and
terminals to western North Carolina to help residents regain access
to the internet. The portable devices can be used in
a variety of settings, including homes and boats. The effort
(02:14):
has been spearheaded by a North Carolina state senator. Musk
then responded by saying that SpaceX will send as many
terminals as possible to the areas in need. FEMA has
sent several to the area already to assist emergency responders.
That's a big thing is so many people are missing
because they don't have access to the Internet or any
form of communication, so we don't know if they're not
(02:35):
okay or if they're just not able to tell anyone.
Here's a person who's not getting any sympathy from us today.
You want to know why you should be pissed. Not
the Macharina, No, no, no, it's this person. Hurricane Helene
has devastated many parts of North Carolina, of course, but
yet a woman complained online that her Airbnb in Asheville
is refusing to refund her stay in the wake of
(02:57):
a massive tragedy. She was supposed to runs an airbn
right now for vacation. She can't get her money back.
That is tragic. I am so upset about that. This woman,
her name is Chelsea. I believe we booked a mountain
vacation not knowing that a hurricane was going to come
and destroy the little town that we're supposed to be
going to, and we can't get refunded.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
And she made a video about this.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
We're still expected to go on this trip, not knowing
if there's damage to the property, not knowing if the
place is even accessible, not knowing if surrounding events and
attractions are going to be up and running. You pay
X amount of dollars to go on vacation with friends
or family, and you expect to have a vacation, not
to try and figure out your way around barricades. I mean,
do you think that anyone involved with that wants barricades
(03:42):
or any of This is now the time to go
online and complain that you're not getting your money back
from anything in that reach. I'm sorry, I mean it's
very unfortunate.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
Yeah, no, girl, this is not the time right put
it in a draft folder. Yes, yeah, you didn't need
to post it.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
She admitted that she lives in eastern North Carolina, which
isn't wasn't hit quite as hard as other parts of
the state, including her vacation destination, but as opposed to
showing sympathy or understanding, she made it about herself. In
a seemingly self centered video. One person wrote, people are dead,
homes or lost cars, lost clothing, pats keepsakes, photo albums,
(04:18):
memories gone, and you're talking about this.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Airbnb should donate her money to the relief fund.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
I mean, I get it.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
I think we've probably all been in a situation where
we wanted a refund for something and we couldn't get it.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
But just how about keep it to yourself? Not great.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
There was a president a vice presidential debate last night.
I did watch. I gotta be honest with you. I
was born because it was civil. It was civil and
on point, and I was bored and they were. They
were even kind of nice to each other. I know,
they sort of. I have to be honest. I don't
care which person you like better or agree with better.
They I thought they both did a pretty good job.
(04:53):
I thought they both made their points. I thought what
they did that was so important is they both knowledge.
In fact, Jennie Vance did a really nice job of
this acknowledging when when Tim Walls was right about something
or when they agreed on something, because that's the part
of this that we all seem to be forgetting.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
Is it.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Whether you're a Democrat or a Republican or an independent
or whatever you are, there are a lot of points
that many people agree on. You know, maybe you have
a different opinion on immigration, but you agree on reproductive rights.
But instead what happens is, oh, you're gonna vote for
this person and vote for that person. I'm in my corner,
you're in your corner, and we're not even gonna talk
(05:33):
about it. Or worse, you know, bad words and evil
names and friendships end and the whole thing. But what
you realize is that last night, when you watch these two,
it was relatively civil. It was to the point and
when they when they had points in common, they acknowledge
they had points in common because there were several.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
So I don't know, maybe can you believe it?
Speaker 1 (05:53):
We saw something political in this country where I say,
you know, that's the kind of discourse that should be had.
We don't have to agree on every single thing. We
agree with a lot of things. Amazing.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
I was like, my jaw was on the floor.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
It was wild.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
The girls were not fighting, no.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
No, And there were times you know what, I agree
with you on that it was like what.
Speaker 5 (06:13):
I know, or they showed like empathy to the other one.
Oh my gosh, I'm sorry you experienced it. I was like,
oh my god, what country am I in?
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Like, it seemed like those guys, while they don't agree
on very many I mean they were. There were points
they agree on, there were many points they didn't, but
it almost seemed like at the end they were going
to go have a beer, like you know what I mean.
And I just don't know why that can't be the case.
I understand that people you know, have extremely strong opinions
on certain issues or certain issues resonate with them more
than others, but like, my.
Speaker 5 (06:38):
God, it's I mean, it starts with them to you know,
show everyone else that you can do it that way.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
So I feel like I wish all of them played
like that.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Yeah, the smash Tailor swift guitar that I told you
about yesterday, he is on a eBay in case you
wanted it. With a starting bit of one hundred bucks,
I would probably buy it. I think it's kind of funny.
I mean, I'm not gonna be able to afford it.
A seller bought the guitar at a charity auction for
four thousand dollars.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
I guess it was hers.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Then he proceeded to smash it with a hammer in
a video that's gone viral. I think that's funny. Like,
if I could get it cheap, i'd buy it, like
hanging up on my wall. People be like, what is
that smash guitar? And then you tell the story. Well,
there's some moron smash Taylor Swift played that, but some
more on smash it, and now I haven't I'm sure
it won't go for one hundred bucks. Though apparently Taylor
did not sign it. However, i'd probably get her to
(07:25):
sign it too, be like, hey, some moron bought your
guitar and smash it. Sign it, you know, because Taylor
and I I have access to tailor.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Like is it that easy?
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Yeah? No, I just I just hit her up. But
you know, people buy all kinds of crazy memorabilia. That
would be kind of funny to have a smash guitar
on their wall and you put it behind like plexiglass.
You'll make it look like it's in a museum or something.
Because I wonder sometimes what people are gonna do with
half this stuff, Like when you buy this stuff, do
you like when you buy the Star Wars I don't
even know what. I don't even Darth Vader helmet helmet thing.
(07:55):
I mean, that's cool, that's very cool. I guess I
don't know about Star Wars, But like, what do you do?
Do you put it on a pedestal, like under a
case and then people come into your home like a
museum and look at it and you go, hey, look
what I have. I'm not sure, Like do you bolt
it down so that no one can steal it? I
don't know what do you do with something like that?
I mean, I realize you probably buy it as an investment.
You can sell it later, But what are you gonna
do in the meantime? Do you have anything, Jason, Do
(08:18):
you have anything like truly collectible, like anything that people
really want?
Speaker 6 (08:22):
No, but my mom has like a piece of the
actual like original film from Beauty and the Beast, Like wow,
Like my dad got a far because she's that's like
your favorite movie and it's like framed in this really
nice thing and hangs on the wall.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
So I don't think she's ever gonna sell it, but
she just thinks it's cool to have.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Like, you know, I get art, it hangs in the wall,
doesn't really it's like sort of like flush with the
wall doesn't really get in the way of things. But
I don't know what you do, like if you've got stuff,
unless you want to make your house with like a museum,
which I maybe.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
No, that's true because I have you ever been to
a concert when they throw something out like a towel
or a t shirt?
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Uh huh, I've caught one. But what do I do
with it?
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Well, I know what you've done with the Omarion towel,
and I can't really talk about that right now.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Well that's different.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
You thought Makarena was offensive, what you've done with that
Omrion there's no no longer is there any Omarian DNA
on that towel?
Speaker 2 (09:10):
I got no, no no.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
If you yeah, it was an tow wasn't.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
No, it wasn't And I'm actually scared to say it,
but it was from.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Diddy oh and it was a towel, Like.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
I mean it has rock like a logo on it,
and I realized that when you brought this up, Like, wow,
I still have that, but I don't know what to
do with that.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Yeah, are any people that have signed models by him?
And they're like what do I do?
Speaker 4 (09:37):
I like?
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Drink it? Do I throw it out? Do I sell it? Yeah?
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (09:41):
Wow, weirdos would buy it, like that weirdo in Vegas
would probably, isn't there like the guy who buys in
his weird museum.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Like oh, like, well then you got we got the
guy from Bond Stars too, he seems. I also don't know.
I'd love to know how much of that stuff he
actually buys and how much of it is on consignment,
if it's in his store or whatever, because like that
dude on TV drops millions of dollars supposedly on all kinds.
I've never been in the store before, so I don't
know how much of the stuff that he buys is
actually in the store.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
But where's he getting all that money?
Speaker 1 (10:10):
I mean, like it'd be like he'll buy like a
million dollar gobstopper, you know, from Willy Wonka it's like
a million bucks. Where did you got a million bucks
laying around to buy something like that?
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Money man, he's been on the for Halloween. He's on cable, Yeah,
but he's been on that, he's been on TV for I.
Speaker 6 (10:25):
Don't think he's got money a year begin in the
bag right, better be paying Yeah, but I.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
Don't think they do.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Not like that, Not that you're buying millions and millions
of dollars worth of stuff and just putting it on
a shelf. I bet you it's a consignment where it's like, hey,
I'll put on the shelf. If I sell it, I
get a percentage of what I sell.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
Maybe.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
But then a lot of stuff he goes in and
he's not going to buy, Like he went and went
shopping for a jet one, like a like a fighter
jet right, and he didn't buy it, like he was
never going to buy it.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
I was for TV. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
But then I know a guy who tried to sell
something up posters film the episode and never made it on.
I don't know why. He had Bill Barker's microphone from
The Price is Right, the one, the real long skinny one,
and he went on the show they taped darker Bill.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
What did I say, Bill Barker?
Speaker 1 (11:08):
We know a guy, we know Bill Barker, and now
I say Bill Barker all the time. Bill Barker was
the backup host for The Price Is Right. He also
sells radio commercials too. That's what I know. I know
it is I can't to me they're the same person now,
they're they're equally swab. You should see Bill Barker come
to work to sell radio commercials in his suit with
(11:28):
his hair slicked back, and it's Bill Barker a long
microphone that he carries around everywhere. Damn, I'm like, why
are you carrying a microphone around? He's like, I bought this,
it was mine. But he never made it on the show.
It never aired, and I don't know why. That's kind
of a cool item. I'm not sure what was wrong
with him and guys cue the jokes. An Italian woman's
(11:52):
tongue has earned a Guinness World Record as the largest circumference.
It's the thickest top and it's not a woman. I'm
not sure what her interests are, but I'm sure there
are a lot of people hoping that they were wishing
this were replaced on someone else I don't know. It
(12:12):
is the circumference of a ping pong ball. Her name
is Ambra. Her tongue was measured three times by doctor
and the average five point four to four inches in
circumference became the official measurement. She took the female version
of the record from an Oregan resident named Jenny, who
was awarded the title earlier this year, just like a
month ago, with a measurement of five points you want.
(12:33):
Oh no, we're on the pulse of this story. Don't worry.
We cover this like it's breaking news.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Okay. Now.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
The male version of this is currently held by a
Belgian named Sasha, whose tongue measured six point six y
nine inches. Of course it does in circumference six point
six So this woman is it is the size the
circumference of a ping pong ball. Her tongue just round
like this. Oh when she sticks it out like what yeah, yeah,
that's wow. But I was trying to illustrate, illustrated for you.
(13:06):
But this dude's an inch bigger around than that his tongue.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
Damn. Yeah, I know.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Kiky's like, can I get one of those trips around
the world. I'm going to Belgium. It's National Walk to
School Day, National Pumpkins Sea Day, National Coffee with a
Cop Day, National Custodial Workers Recognition Day, and National Name
your Car Day. Do you guys all have names for
your cars? Kiki's is called broken? What do you guys
(13:37):
have names of your cars? My mom names Oliver cars.
Speaker 5 (13:39):
Oh no, I don't, Minus Jarvis, Jason, I thought yours
was Thirsty Girl or something I read on our prep.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
Like when I was cleaning it out. But you called
it drivers for the Drivers Center in Chicago. No, for
iron Man, it's iron Man?
Speaker 5 (13:53):
Right?
Speaker 3 (13:54):
Was that where they used to practice? That? Wasn't it
called the Drivis Center? What are the what are the
bulls used to practice? The Berto Center?
Speaker 4 (14:00):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (14:00):
