Speaker 1 (00:00):
There are two sides to stories, had one side to facts.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
So how do you like the fact this is the
Brian mud Show.

Speaker 3 (00:09):
Yes, as it is Halloween and we're heading down the
home stretch, not just of the presidential elections cycle, not
just the month of November, We're also heading down the
home stretch of hurricane season, and we are going to
take a look at November's hurricane history. So yeah, the
finish line to hurricane season is in sight. As tomorrow

(00:31):
we will be into the final thirty days of hurricane season,
and we do so having had fifteen named storms having formed.
Now that is actually four fewer than at the same
point a year ago. This I think is instructive in
a certain sense because it's been rough with the storms
that have impacted. But of course it is nowhere close

(00:52):
to the number of name storms that we were conditioned by.
Literally every single preseason expert that exists.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
Hasn't been explosive yet.

Speaker 3 (01:02):
And not been explosive in terms of the amount of activity.

Speaker 2 (01:05):
Now well yeah, yeah, I mean.

Speaker 3 (01:07):
I tend not to want to and that was one
of the characterizations by ACU Weather on the front end,
and I do try to be sensitive in this sense
there's a difference between the meteorological realities and the fact
that there are a lot of people, including many in
our community, that have suffered damage that would be you know, explosive,
so to speak, in their own way. So yeah, in
a meteorological sense, it certainly has not been, and certainly

(01:31):
we're not told heading into the season we would have
four fewer named storms at this point. Now, of course,
three of those storms were hurricanes that made landfall in
Florida's Gulf Coast, Debbie, Helene, and Milton, making this an
especially rough hurricane season for many in Florda's Golf Coast
and the wor sever for many in places that never
expected it, like in the mountains of North Carolina. Now,

(01:54):
before discussing what typically happens in November, let's start with
the trivia question. It's I want to ask every single
year and to one that I'm pretty sure that Joel
has down at this point in look at his face
suggests maybe not. Maybe of the six months of hurricane season,

(02:14):
which is the most inactive or if you want like
extra credit, you name the months by activity. So let's
start with November of the six months in terms of activity,
where does November rank.

Speaker 2 (02:29):
I want to say fifth.

Speaker 3 (02:31):
You nailed it.

Speaker 2 (02:31):
See I confidence, man, I believe, I believe. June is sixth.

Speaker 3 (02:36):
That's right.

Speaker 2 (02:36):
Okay, like this, that's yes, stopping while on the head.

Speaker 3 (02:39):
Okay, so you're not going for extragred that You're going
to take your a, take the A and walk away,
all right.

Speaker 2 (02:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:45):
So November is indeed the second least active month of
hurricane season. And the breakdown is you are aware that
September is the most active month, followed by August, then
October is third, July the fourth most active, November fifth,
and yes, June, where hurricane season begins, is the least
active month. Since tracking began in eighteen fifty one, ninety

(03:10):
three percent of all tropical storms and hurricanes have happened
prior to November, so generally November is not much of
an issue for US. Typically, since tracking began, November has
brought ninety three tropical storms and sixty four hurricanes. In
other words, we average a tropical storm or hurricane about

(03:31):
every other year, a tropical storm about every other year,
rather in a hurricane about every three years, so there tends
not to be a ton of activity. Hopefully this thing
that's in the Caribbean Sea doesn't become more than a depression.
I mean, the one thing that's not going to happen.
There's no model like if it does just strift north
that turns this into a major hurricane. The same time,

(03:52):
I don't think we want any hurricane. You know, it
does look like there's going to be some rain next week, regardless,
Let's hope that's about the extent of it. So yeah,
generally speaking, you might say the wind is at our
back as we look to close out hurricane season just
hoefully without any more drama.

Speaker 2 (04:08):
All right, let's get a look at some Florida headlines.

Speaker 1 (04:10):
Governor Di Santas continues to speak out against Amendment three
held a roundtable in West Palm Beach yesterday, saying the
amendment is not needed because voters have already passed medical
marijuana several years ago. He says almost a million Floridians
have medical marijuana cards, nowhere near all of them have
debilitating diseases. The governor adds nobody is sitting in a
prison in Florida for using marijuana, and he claims the

(04:32):
wording was written by just one large company that will
benefit from it. Corporation spending one hundred and forty one
point nine million dollars to get Amendment three passed. The
Santas urges anyone thinking about voting in favor of the
ballot measure to read the whole text, not just this summary. Well,
Hillary Clinton will be coming to Florida Saturday to rally
for Vice President Kamala Harris, just three days before election day.

Speaker 3 (04:53):
Who didn't see that and go, wow, I know I'm
doing Saturday? How many people have waited for Hillary Clinton
to come back to Florida? Think about this? Is this
not like the greatest oxymorn ever presented a rally with
Hillary Clinton.

Speaker 2 (05:09):
It's gonna be a couple of days later for Halloween too.

Speaker 1 (05:11):
At the event in Tampa, Clinton will also encourage voters
to cast votes for Democrats down the ballot. Meanwhile, former
President Trump he'll be watching the returns come in Tuesday
night from the Palm Beach County Convention Center. There's a
bipartisan effort in Congress to help Florida's farmers rebuild from
hurricanes Helene and Milton. Senator Marco Rubio says he and
other lawmakers are asking US Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack to

(05:34):
declare a federal agriculture disaster. Rick Scott donating part of
his salary into three museums in South Florida. Senator Scott
announcing yesterday he and his wife are donating part of
his salary to those museums because they're great museums that
work to honor those who have fought for democracy and
freedom for the Cuban people. He adds he and his
wife proudly sharing support the museum's commitment to shining a

(05:58):
light on freedom and ensuring Americans know the true dangers
of socialism and communism. And SpaceX broke its own record
with a launch last night. Company sixty ninth launch this
year sent nearly two dozen Starlinks Internet satellites and a
low Earth orbit from Cape Canaveral of five ten pm.
Liftoff was also the seventy fourth overall launch from the
Space Coast in twenty twenty four, had already surpassed the

(06:18):
record that was set last year. Those are your Florida headlines.

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
