Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:02):
When you need to know she's got you. It's three
things with tip on. Large portions of the Tampa Bay
area are going to be uninhabitable. You're not going to
have power, you may not have other essential all right.
The update in the latest on Hurricane Milton. It has

(00:22):
restrengthened and went from five to four back up to five.
Some things have shifted, though, the timeline being the first.
It's set to make landfall later tonight into tomorrow around
three am. So when you come into work tomorrow at
this time, I will have the updates for you. It's
also very it's moving very very quickly, and the eye

(00:43):
has shifted a little bit further south into Florida. We're
talking more so of Sarasota, which means the storm surge
has also shifted south. If you didn't know this, the
storm surge typically is south of the hurricane. Now, Tampa
is still very much in the cone is what they
call of significant damage due to winds and the fact
that they're supposed to see some significant rain from this.

(01:07):
It's already raining now. I talked to my mom earlier
on the show. By the way, an update on whether
or not she's evacuating you'll see you can get caught
up on the podcast and such. But yeah, she did
make a plan, so thank god. She was telling us
a little bit about the gas in the groceries, etc.
So definitely worth getting caught up on if you're nervous
about family, friends, or just in general what is actually

(01:27):
happening in Tampa. The other major concern is the damage
in the debris from Hurricane Helene and where that falls,
and you know it could be weaponized due to the
high winds, So I will definitely keep you posting. Second
in three things you need to know this morning, Jenna Fisher,
who we know as Pam of course from the office,

(01:48):
posted an update this morning or this might have been
yesterday afternoon on a battle with breast cancer. Let me
read a quote for you since it is Breast cancer
Awareness month. Back in October of twenty twenty, I posted
a photo of myself on Instagram peppering for my routine
mammogram with a joking reminder to take care of your
ticking time bags a la Michael Scott. After inconclusive results

(02:11):
on that mammogram due to dense breast tissue, my doctor
ordered a breast ultrasound. They found something in my left breast.
A biopsy was ordered. Then on December one, twenty twenty three,
I learned I had stage one triple positive breast cancer.
She had reported that she's breast cancer free after chemotherapy,
et cetera. But it is a great reminder to ladies,

(02:32):
know your body and advocate for yourself, all right. And then, lastly,
in three things you need to Know this morning, a
major announcement out of our hometown. Guys ninety eight degrees
announced that not only do they have a new single
coming in November a new album in January, but they're
also going out on tour. Yes, you know, I'm trying

(03:11):
to give them the beny of the doubt that there'll
be more dates added to this, but not one date
it falls in Cincinnati. I'm like, come on, come on,
I'm like I said, giving benny of the doubt here.
Their first date kicks off October sixteenth in Texas. Some
accolades for ninety eight degrees if you're like, give it
to me. They were obviously Grammy nominated, Teen Choice nominated,

(03:33):
Billboard nominated. They have eight top forty singles in the
US ten top Billboard pop pits, including because of You,
and then certified singles. They have ninety because of You.
It is also certified platinum and they have gold record
status on Invisible Man, which achieved that back in nineteen

(03:56):
ninety seven. Ninety eight Degrees has sold over fifteen million albums.
All right, that is three things you need to know
for the ninth of October. Coming up at nine oh
five your first chance of the day to score an
extra thousand bucks. I'm sure it'll come in handy as
we enter the back half of the year. And on
top of that, it also comes with a free trip
to our iHeartRadio jingle Ball in New York this December,

(04:18):
starring Katy Perry
