Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, It's Michael.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Your morning show airs live five to eight am Central,
six to nine Eastern and great cities like Memphis, Tennessee, Telsa, Oklahoma, Sacramento, California.
We'd love to be a part of your morning routine,
but we're happier here now. Enjoyed the podcast.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
Two three starting your morning off right, A new way
of taught, a new way of understanding.
Speaker 4 (00:23):
Because we're in this together. This is your Morning Show
with Michael O'Dell John.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
At least fourteen dead after Hurricane Milk ravaged Lorda, five
hundred rescued from Clearwater apartments. Latest polling showing Vice President
Harrison Donald Trump tied in the state of Michigan, Trump
leading in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, and Ethel Kennedy has died
at the age of ninety six years old. Our condolence
is to RFK Junior, and that's our i think, last
(00:51):
link to the generation of RFK and JFK. And if
you're just getting up, probably one of the things that's
the most fun about your morning show is hearing your voice.
This came from William best part about Trump trending in
the polls is it's happening right in the prime time
of early voting in twenty twenty, he ran his campaign
too much like a one day vote election day campaign.
(01:14):
This shows the trending and the embracing of early voting
and mail in voting. The wind appears to be at
his back. That's a good point. We also have your
talkbacks on the iHeartRadio app where we find Woody listening
to KFYI in Phoenix.
Speaker 5 (01:27):
It's so despicable when the Dems use the race card,
but it's so encouraging to see so many minorities saying
I will not be a victim, a victim of your policies,
that I am an individual and I will choose what's
best for me and my family.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Yeah, that's what America needs more than anything, you know.
Barack Obama gave a speech in Pittsburgh that showed the
nervousness of the left and the importance of turnout, because
if the Democrats have high turnout, they win every time
there's more of them. The problem is there's not a
lot of energy, not from the Hispanic voting block, not
(02:06):
from the black voting block, not from the Union voting block.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
For what what he just said. We've heard this all before.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
We got high inflation rate and a two percent increase
coming to social security. We got open borders and resources
being sent abroad and to take care of these invaders,
and now there's not money for it. We're done with
all of that, and that's why we're seeing the poll shift.
And that's why you saw Barack Obama played the ultimate
race card. That's all he's got left. I want to
(02:35):
talk to the brothers. Caught it a Democrat headquarters. Yeah,
how can you ve over the white guy when you
got a sister that grew up like you. I mean,
it's low, but it's a time of great desperation. Oh,
speaking of the President, Hail to the Chief.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
He's the one we all say hail to.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
He has the power because he takes a show. Ladies
and gentleman, It's Friday with forty five. Good morning, mister President.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
Well, good morning to you, Peter Boy. You seem like
you're in quite the mood this morning. Talking like Barack Obama.
He almost let me throw up. It was very close,
and I alway usually do that. I have the greatest
by the way, I have the greatest digestive system in
the history of the world at moment, not a day
in my life. But you spoke like Barak and you know,
(03:27):
his initials are bo for a reason. He's a horrible
guy and he stinks that I have. It's horrible.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
What do you make of him just playing the blatant
race card. In other words, these.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Are black men.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Never mind, you know what black people are paying for gas,
what they're paying for groceries, how their resources are being
taken and used for illegals. They could do aalty Sean
Hannity talking points. Never mind that she's black, you should
vote for her. You're not a brother. I mean, we've
heard Joe Biden do that. It's just I guess that's desperation.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
Well, if you don't vote for me, you ain't black.
Now he could do it twice. That's the way we're
supposed to do it, you know. That's what Crooked Joe said.
And Crooked Joe thinks he's some sort of uh, you know,
guy from the hood. He says he grew up in
the black community. He says he grew up in the
Puerto Rican community, so as he grew up in the
Jewish community. Said his last name was Pianopolis to appeal
(04:16):
to the Greek people, but I can tell you this.
I did very well. First of all, I know the
Greeks very well. I got to look well with Odysseus.
It was my idea, by the way, to build the
Trojan horse. I said, we're going to build a big,
beautiful horse. It's going to be so great. They're gonna
let you in the wolves. That's the only time the
wolves failed, the wolves of Troy, because and look what
(04:37):
happened to Troy. They opened the gate, the people came
in and they lost their city. Sounds very familiar. We
can't do it. We're not gonna let it happen. But
you look at.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Those people great with Zeus too, did you an Apollo?
Speaker 4 (04:49):
I got look very well. I got to look very
well with the Greek gods. They saw my body. They said,
how do you do that? I said, well, McDonald's it's great,
the big mac. It's a beautiful thing. And Zeus started
throwing lightning. He was so excited. But but we have
we do very well. And I have what they call
it's called I don't know if you've heard of this
piece of well street cred. I got shot, and a
(05:13):
lot of people thought it was impressive that I got
up after getting shot. A lot of people wouldn't have
done that, but I wanted my shoes. I wanted to
get up, and we told the people to fight. So
I have. It's called street cred. And that's why people
like Fitty we love him fifty cent who is now
worth about fifteen cents. And the Kamala administration and Snoop
(05:35):
we love Snoop is a great guy, Little pump beautiful people.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
It's national today. What about Pizza Boy.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
Well, we love Pizza Boy. By the way, we love
Pizza Boy also got along very well. We talked about
the black community. Dingy small so I told them, I
love it when you call me ding Papa. It's tremendous.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
But did what did he call you?
Speaker 4 (05:55):
A tremendous job, big Papa? I said, sir, huge Papa
is a lot better. But he called me big Papa. Oh,
I love it when you called me big Maga. It's trendous.
You know, these people are great people. I worked very
well with these guys and they're not falling for the accents.
You know, you heard Kamala. She broke out a Jamaican accent. Jum.
(06:17):
That would be crazy, believe it or not. It was incredible.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Well, you know because for the longest time she identified
as an India Indian and the first Indian in the Senate,
the first Indian in the Yeah, yah YadA. Then you know,
suddenly she was trying to peel to black voters.
Speaker 6 (06:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
I think the Jamaican came out this week, so we're
getting them all in.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
Well, she said, She said, have you no empathy?
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Man?
Speaker 4 (06:39):
I said, what the hell is going on here? First
of all, I got a looked very well with some
highly respected Jamaicans. You may have heard of them. His
name is Bob Marley. He was born Robert Nessa. I
told him, your name is Bob. I called him, you
want to take a guest. When I called him Bobby,
I told him Bobby. It was I called them Bobby,
(06:59):
Me and Bob Marley. I called him Bobby and I
said to him, I said, Bobby, we should get together
and feel all right. He said, sir, what a tremendous idea.
And we wrote a lot of songs together. We love women.
Women are great. We wrote the song no Woman, No
Cry Buffalo Soldier. We love that.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
You know a lot of follow songs. This is impressive.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
We do very well. We do very well. And I
was not a fan of Bob Marley's. He called it
his green New Deal, but it was a very different thing.
But he was, you know, he was very uh that
man was higher than Hunter Biden. But he was a
tremendous guy. And I told him, Bobby, you need to
grow dreadlocks and he said, I don't know about that.
(07:44):
I said, look, I take it from one guy with
beautiful hair, and you should grow dreads And he did,
and we turned them into like he's a great guy,
the lion anxiety is a great guy. We love Bob Marley,
tremendous person.

Speaker 2 (07:58):
We just had John Decker a bit perplexed or critical.
Why on earth are you in California? Why on earth
are you headed to Madison Square Garden. Why aren't you
in Swing States?

guy you know from Japan. We got along very well
with Japan. And what they did to Prime Minister Abi horrible.
They tried to do that to me too, But what
(08:37):
they did to Shinzo Abbi what a terrible thing. But
you look at it. We do very well in the
Swing States. We're doing tremendous in Pennsylvania. We're doing tremendous
in Wisconsin. Wisconsin, we love those beautiful chief heads, you know,
Green Bay, and we're gonna paint the cheeseheads red and
put maga all over and it's a tremendous thing. And
(08:58):
we love Wisconsin. We love Michigan, we love Pennsylvania, we
love North Carolina and Georgia, but we also love California.
We love New York, and we love to throw these big,
beautiful rallies in their backyard. You know, it's their backyard,
and they're very upset about it. They feel violated by it,
and we're going to do it. So we love Coachella,
we love MSG Madison Square Guard and we're turning it
(09:23):
to do Magison Square Garden. It's going to be tremendous
and it's going to be the greatest entertainment, you know,
because you have the New York Knicks, or as I
call it, perpetual underachievers. You have the New York Rangers,
and we don't like that. We like the island. Those
these are great people. But we did Nationale Coliseum in
(09:44):
Long Island. We're going to do Madison Square Garden and
we're going to put on a better show than Billy
Joel And he's going to be very unhappy to hear
about that. But it's very true. The greatest entertainment to
take MSG is coming and we're very happy about it.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Bastian Maniscalco filled Madison Square Garden five nights in a row,
which was very impressive.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
We would fill it five weeks in a row, believe
it or not. We'd fill it for the rest of
the year if we wanted to. You know, this was
one night only. We could be in the Swing States.
We should be in the Swing States.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Start spreading the news. You're going to the Big Apple.

Did you have you called condolence?
Speaker 4 (11:34):
I spoke to Bobby A. Tremendous guy, and our thoughts
are with him and his family. She was a wonderful woman.

I think eleven children, a lot of kids, and she
did a tremendous job. I have to say that. And
for Bobby and the rest of the Kennedy some of
(11:55):
them don't like me, some of them do. I think actually,
if we were to take a poll, they probably will
love me, but they can't admit it. We want to
send our condolences and may she rest in peace. What
a tremendous woman, and she did a fantastic job.

Officials in Clearwater, Florida say more than five hundred people

right after Hellen slammed Florida in an on going property

state of Florida. He says.
Speaker 8 (14:25):
Milton is a significant event and will put pressure on
companies to dig into their catastrophe funds, but it won't
bankrupt any businesses. If anything, he thinks it will put
pressure on companies to hold rate steady.

It is. It is a beautiful facility.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
We work for a great company that gives us everything
to serve you with, and they have outdone themselves. You know,
when I broadcast live from Saint Louis, I thought that
was as nice as the digs get And I gotta say,
I think ours.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Are even nicer. Well they and I got the corner
the corner Prime real estate view.

Speaker 1 (19:13):
No, you don't stop for the negativity.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
All right, Our final show for in Nashville, Tennessee from
the studios on Music Row. It's kind of an end
of an era, it is, all right, latest polls. If
you're for Donald Trump, let me say it this way.
This is a very good morning Arizona. Donald Trump leads
by two. The Senate races too, are also a huge
(19:36):
story today. But Pennsylvania Trump is up by one. So
was it really up by four? Miss Chigan, one has
Donald Trump up by two, the other has him tied.
Wisconsin one has them tied. One has Donald Trump up
by one. Something is a shifting and it is shifting
(19:57):
right as people are early voting, So very couraging for
Donald Trump supporters. We also have the trial date set
for Sean Diddy Combs in a sex trafficking case. It'll
be next spring. Ethel Kennedy passes away at the age
of ninety six. Aaron Rayalis here. That's kind of an
end of an era because she's the last tie to
RFK and JFK at ninety six years old.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
Our condolences to RFK junior.
Speaker 4 (20:21):
All right.
Speaker 16 (20:22):
Indeed, Yeah, that's a big one. When I saw it,
I was like, oh wow, and I was I mean,
you forget that these people are still alive. And I
don't mean that crossway, but I'm just like, wow, I
had no idea she was still around, and boy o
boy yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
And you know eleven kids, you know, Andrew and I
make fun of people who only have one kid because
that's really not even parenting. You got to have at
least two to keep your running three so they can
outnumber you in turn against you that but can you
imagine eleven?
Speaker 4 (20:52):
No?
Speaker 16 (20:52):
I cannot, no, Like I actually literally that's no. No,
can you no?
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Because not just the work, but the worry in the
you know right.
Speaker 16 (21:02):
Yes, Like that's actually I think like almost a bigger burden.
Like the work is the work, it's it's you can't do.
I actually don't know, like structurally how you do that?
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Well, what happens?
Speaker 4 (21:12):
I had?
Speaker 2 (21:13):
I had friends that were one of eleven. My grandmother
was one of eighteen. Can you imagine eighteen births?
Speaker 4 (21:20):
Wow? How big was their house?
Speaker 1 (21:24):
No?
Speaker 2 (21:24):
It wasn't, although I drove my son by it. It
has since been demolished. That whole neighborhood has turned into
a crack and heroin Den area.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
But yeah, they all lived.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
In one and then my mom and you know, spent
most of her childhood in that house. I don't know
how they all got around. But what happens in those
cases is older kids become like parents. So you know,
it's not completely eleven on two, but you.
Speaker 16 (21:48):
Know, I always I always think of that when they're like, oh,
the older ones will raise them, I'm like, that's putting
like a lot of onus on the kids you had.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
Oh, but I have to you know, you got us.
But it's not really about the raising and training up.
It's to me.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
And I'm Italian, so I have great faith, but I
also have great worry because we're professional warriors. And I
just can't imagine times eleven. Because you know, when you
get married, that should be the first person you love
more than yourself. That's the death of selfishness if it's
gonna work. But I guarantee you whether you achieve it,
whether your spouse or not. And I'll remind everybody you
(22:24):
can never love your kids more than you love their mother.
So that's important to do. But kids, for sure, they're
the first thing that you love way more than yourself
can you imagine the worry times eleven. I think I'm
getting grageous thinking about.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
It at all.
Speaker 16 (22:39):
Oh, I absolutely couldn't. Actually, I'm one of my favorite.
Speaker 4 (22:41):
Comedians has a joke about that.
Speaker 16 (22:43):
He's like, actually, probab shouldn't tell it im Morning televisionbody.
He's like, I love my wife. I love my wife dearly,
but I love my kids more. All that said, don't
want to have sex with my kid.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Oh goodness, gracious, I know.
Speaker 16 (23:01):
I know it's I mean, I she.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
Didn't bring up global warming.
Speaker 16 (23:05):
Yeah, but I'm like, I think that it makes so
much sense where it's like it's just a different thing
with your spouse.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
Yeah. No, they hopefully are all right.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
So, although it may not quite keep up with the
rate of inflation for those that are on Social Security,
probably further making social Security and solvent for me and
you uh there, are going to get a pay raise.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
So a bit of good news, A bit of good news.
Speaker 16 (23:26):
Two point five percent good old cola, the cost of
living adjustment. You're gonna get fifty more dollars a month
if you get a Social Security check, we.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
Get the ONCOLA where it's projected we'll get seventy five
percent of the benefits we earn.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
We get the uncola, they get the cola.
Speaker 16 (23:41):
Yeah, whatever the inversive in cola is. That's it's so true. Yes,
So this cost of living adjustment cool not the two
point six percent that it had been generally over the
past decade, and certainly not the almost nine percent increase
that we saw in twenty twenty three. It's a it's
a good thing in the sense that it's not. It
shows us that we aren't contending with as much inflation
(24:01):
as we had them.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Well, for my father, who took Social Security early so
my mom could get the bare minimum, and then they
both don't plan for aging, and then I have to
take care of both my mother in laws and my
mother in law and my mother. That comes to a
whopping forty dollars raise for my mom.
Speaker 10 (24:18):
Yeah, there you go.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
Translation, I still won't have money for your Christmas present, don't.
I can tell you. I don't know what we got yesterday.
It wasn't that much. I mean, you know, you know
what the big ticket items are when it's time to
get the cascade or her what are those drinks that
(24:40):
she does? Oh, I can't remember the name of those
chocolate drinks that give her protein. Those are I know, yeah,
those are kind of ridiculously big insure, I think it is,
but big ticket items.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
Anyway, we didn't. We had, I mean a barely empty
cart and it.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Was one hundred and sixty eight dollars and I'm thinking,
and then you get a forty dollars raise. Okay, one
trip to the grocery store that doesn't even make a dent.
Speaker 16 (25:03):
So but and then beyond that, I mean it's a
Ponzi scheme. And I don't mean even mean that in
a big way. But it's not like you pay into
it like you do like a four one K or
a pension, then you get the return after it was invested.
It's like no, no, no, the bottom pays in so
the top can have it, and then when you don't
have enough at the bottom, it's problem Like it it's
very simple.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
Well, and it's filled with means testing too.
Speaker 16 (25:23):
In penalty, yes, yes, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
But the biggest volitional penalty, like my wife, happens to
be not that you know, I'm like an old man
that married somebody young. But when we got married, I think,
what was I thirty something and I met Andrew when
she was twenty in college.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
I was eight years older.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
So you know, when I'm looking at social Security, I'm
not going to take my social Security till the maximum
of seventy. Why because I'm likely or should die before her,
and she should live.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
A long time. I want her to get the maximum.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
But you know what happens is people take it early,
they soak up the penalty. Plus at some point around
twenty thirty five, we're looking at reduced benefits, so people
who've paid in the most will actually get the least.
And then we have a birthing problem in America, which
you know, everybody likes to make it about abortion, or
make it about global warming, or make it about I
(26:14):
don't want to bring a kid into this world, or
I just want to be selfish, or I'm into this
movement or that movement. Well, guess what, we have a
population birthing problem. And the reality is we're going to
have few people paying in and fewer and fewer as
every year goes by, for more and more liver, living longer,
and collecting. This whole thing's going to come down like
a house of cards sooner or later.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
Yes, yes it is.
Speaker 16 (26:37):
I don't know why, but In.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
The meantime, enjoy your two point five percent.
Speaker 16 (26:41):
Yes, have a good weekend, I mean Friday.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
Man and something. I'll give you a cup of coffee.
Speaker 4 (26:46):
Right.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
I cannot believe you told that joke.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
I know, wait, but thanks, but thank goodness you told
it on morning television and not morning radio. If Aaron
have a great Weekgred, We'll see a Monday good report
this week, all right, for after the out, you're just
waking up our top story. Hers kill me well first Deleen,
then Milton. Already an ongoing property insurance crisis, Now what
(27:14):
Tammy Trihilo reports.
Speaker 8 (27:16):
Florida Policy Project manager Jeff Brandas says the storm is
expected to cost some forty billion dollars in insurance claims for.
Speaker 9 (27:23):
Citizens, they could have over one hundred thousand claims, and frankly,
because this thing ripped across the state during the through
the eye for quarter.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
You could be looking at a million claims in the
state of Florida. He says.
Speaker 8 (27:33):
Milton is a significant event and will put pressure on
companies to dig into their catastrophe funds, but it won't
bankrupt any businesses. If anything, he thinks it will put
pressure on companies to hold rate steady next year. Floridians
pay four times the national average for property insurance. I'm
Tammy Truhio.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Well.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
Donald Trump, of course is going to take advantage of
our bad news, which is a bad economic report, to
make it good for his campaign. And he was smart
to do it and did it. Mark Mayfield has our
today in politics.
Speaker 10 (28:04):
Former President Trump is going after the Biden Harris administration
again on the economy after some poor reports. The Consumer
Price Index, a brometer of inflation, rose more than expected
in September, and initial filings for unemployment benefits were also
unexpectedly higher last week.
Speaker 12 (28:20):
Under Biden and Harris because of inflation, the economy has
been a total disaster, but Kamala says that she can't
think of one thing that she would do different.
Speaker 10 (28:30):
At the Detroit Economic Club on Thursday, Trump chindaed the
White House for keeping inflation higher than when he was
in office. Trump consistently has the advantage among voters on
whom they trust to handle the economy. As election day
nears and Vice President Harris is telling supporters in Arizona
why it's important that they get out and vote. Speaking
at around on Thursday in the Phoenix suburb of Chandler.
Harris said this will be a tight race until the
(28:51):
very end and that she is the underdog. The Democratic
presidential nominee also criticized former President Trump for refusing to
join her for a second debate. Early vote in the
swing state of Arizona began Wednesday. That's politics. I'm Markeneyfield.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
A new study reveals more than fifteen and a half
million US adults have ADHD. Many find it difficult to
get the medications they need to treat it. According to
a survey conducted by the CDC, six percent of adults
have currently been diagnosed with attention deficit disorder. How many
have been presumed or self diagnosed or really the victims
(29:25):
of really the social dilemma and the social media you know,
low attention span and now seventy one percent report, which,
by the way, was the exact price of the stake.
Did I tell you that I want to go to
a party at iHeart, I show up at the wrong place.
Then by the time we would have gotten to the
new place, we're like, well, let's go try the new
Bourbon steakhouse.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
In the Marriotte. Went there. The view was amazing, The
food was amazing.
Speaker 7 (29:48):
My favorite colors blue, Oh I love blue.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
Remember Blues Clues? That was probably one of my favorite.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
Oh my gosh, male mail Mail, I think we just
fell victim of attention deficit disorder.
Speaker 7 (29:59):
Sorry about that.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
What's for lunch today? Probably sausage pizza. It's National Sausage
Pizza Day. Pre Tennis says more.
Speaker 17 (30:06):
Americans et about one hundred and eighty slices of pizza
a year, and there's many to choose from, from simple
cheese to pineapple on a pie. According to the New
York Pizza Department, sausage is America's fourth favorite topping, but
today sausage is number one. So grab a pizza. You
know you want to, Actually you may have to. According
to the Yale Food Addiction Scale, pizza is the food
(30:29):
most associated with addiction. I'm pre Tennis see what we.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
Did there was we're doing a story on ADHD that
we never even finished because we have ADHD. Utah Arizona State,
Thank you very late, Utah Arizona State. Tonight we got
lsu o Miss Penn State, usc Tennessee, Florida. Probably the
big one should be number one, Texas and ou the
Red River rivalry, but I think the game of the
weekend is Ohio State and Oregon pair of top five teams,
(30:55):
so that we'll face off.
Speaker 14 (30:58):
Hi from Jeoplo, Mississippi, and my morning show is your
Morning Show with Michael Hill.
Speaker 4 (31:05):
Join on.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
Thanks for bringing your morning show along with you on
the drive to work. We appreciate your time very much.
I'm Michael here to serve you. That's Jeffrey at the
control tower and we always give the final story to
Rory roy.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
O'Neil joining us. Boy, it's been a busy week, okay.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
So Milton obviously a devastating tornadic experience, a wild ride
as a hurricane. But it's interesting. We're probably gonna remember
Milton for being not as bad as it could have been.
Speaker 6 (31:36):
True, and I just caution that we haven't seen the
results or the impact of all that rainfall yet and
how it's working through the system. We're seeing more reports
of rivers overflowing their banks as a result of the
Alafia River in Hillsboro County, just some video being posted
now by the sheriff. They're also concerns about the Saint
(31:57):
John's River that's along the Atlantic coast, things into Lake Monroe.
Another large body of water there in central Florida that
probably the area around that lake got eighteen inches of rain,
and when all that's going to flood down or filter
down into the lake and ultimately to the rivers, we
could see some serious flooding as a result of this.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
So my dearest friend in life and best man for
my wedding and my dad lives in Brandon, which is
east of Tampa, which was just barely out of the
mandatory evacuation zone. So I clearly didn't want him to stay.
He clearly decided to write it out. He was like, well,
that's one I'll remember when you ride out even a
Category three, let alone a Category four hurricane, You'll remember
(32:40):
the rest of your life, especially once the power goes
out and all you have is silence and the sound
of the ravaging winds, and you can hear debris and
things happening. It's horrific. He woke up a lot of debris,
a lot of flooding. The flooding has since gone down.
But you know what's interesting is you would have said, oh,
Saint Lucie in a county, you'll be fine, I mean
(33:00):
you're way east, but no, because of the tornadoes that
seemed to be the area where the most casualties were.
That's another interesting twist to Milton. He really affected the
Atlantic coast more possibly than the Gulf side.
Speaker 6 (33:15):
Well, certainly when it comes to the fatalities, because to
your point, a lot of people weren't expecting it, weren't.
You know, maybe they weren't hunkering down to use a
tired term this week, because they were And this was
still hours before the Eye made landfall, when these big,
powerful tornadoes got fired up and caused all those deaths
in that part of Florida. So it's still pretty remarkable there.
(33:37):
I mean, I think visually anytime you talk about this
the same way with Katrina, you think of the Superdome.
I think with this one Cana the Tropicana Field and
what happened there and the video and of the roof
flapping and the you.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
But you got to live in Florida to really appreciate.
Because there was talks of moving the Rays to Ebor
City and having a beautiful stadium of a new stadium.
But I mean, this has been an ongoing thing. It
was one of those where the roof went off, and
I bet there was.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
A lot of people in Florida wishing the whole thing
had come undone.
Speaker 6 (34:08):
Yeah, absolutely, yeah, and yeah they just got a new
stadium deal what six months ago? Yeah, So the question
is what did they rebuild?
Speaker 1 (34:15):
I think you just keep it open, don't you.
Speaker 6 (34:18):
It's going to be miserable. You're going to get rain
on every game, and then it's going to rain inside
and that causes problems and you know, moisture, and.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
Then what will Milton cost. It's going to be less
than we thought. And then it's going to be so
conflated with Helene damage ahead of time, right, but it's got.
Speaker 6 (34:36):
A lot of these homeowners filing double claims from one
to two and because they would have filed already hopefully
after Helene and then within the two weeks.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
The insurance nightmare to come is really the biggest final story.
Great reporting all week, have a great weekend.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
We'll see you on Monday. We're all in this together.
This is your Morning show with Michael Hill showing now.
