Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's the Fresh show. This is what's trending. So I
haven't heard it pronounced. Is it Helene or is it Helen?
This hurricane Fortunately it's I think it's Helene. Is Yeah,
it looks like Helen, but I don't want to be
the idiot calling it Helene. And then, you know, like
I've been calling Sunny sunny. I almost called her an alien,
but she at this point she is she's an astronaut.

(00:22):
She's an astronaut, but at this point she lives in space.
Sonny lives in space now along with Butch because Bowing
can't get her home. But I was calling her Sunny
for like a month and no one corrected me, and
apparently it's Sunny, So I want to apologize formerly to Sonny.
She can't hear us because she's in space until February.
But when she gets back and you know, apparently we
were her favorite show and she counted on us. So

(00:44):
so Hurricane Helene this is actually very serious. As of
eleven o'clock last night, it's a Category one hurricane with
winds of up to eighty five miles an hour. It's
moving through the Gulf of Mexico into Florida. On track
to be a a Category four hurricane at landfall today.
The latest four has had this as a hurricane as
a category two storm rather this morning and becoming a

(01:05):
category for major hurricane this afternoon. Lots of evacuations, widespread
winds increasing of up to one hundred and twenty miles
an hour. How many of these things? Because this is
what happens, you know, if you watch these things, whether
this one's on on like the Gulf of Mexico side
of Florida and it's making its way up, and they
have all these predictions of where, you know, it might
might hit Tampa directly, it might hit I guess it was,

(01:28):
was it Gainesville? Or it might hit Tallahassee, or it
might it might hit somewhere. I mean it was. You know,
it always varies, is to cause they don't know exactly
where it's going to hit. How many of these do
you have to go through in Florida because it happens almost,
you know, multiple times a year before you're like, man,
I'm not going to staines and I'm not saying you

(01:48):
should you should evacuated, telling you to evacuate, evacuate. It's
not worth it, right, it's not worth it. It's not worth
getting stranded, it's not worth your life, it's not worth safety.
But like, how many times do you have to to
leave and pick up everything and board up your house
and do all that before you're like, Yeah, not this time.
I'm not gonna do it. This time. I'm gonna hang out.
I'll be fine. I just wonder. I wonder if you've
become conditioned to these kind of things and you just

(02:11):
it doesn't happen to you, so you hope it never does.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
And then I don't know. I don't even know why
people want to live in areas like that. I don't
I don't get it, Like like, yeah, Okay, it's beautiful
some weather all the time, but then every summer it's yeah,
people live in like Tornado Alley or the where there's
tornadoes all the time. It was like, I don't get
why you would want to live in that area.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
Yeah. Well, and I'm not Jim Cantori of the Weather Channel.
I have hair, But that guy's a stud. He puts
himself in the middle of everything he does. But uh,
I don't know. I saw last night on one of
these things that they're saying basically like it used to
be in Florida. There were certain areas that were just
notorious for getting hit by there And now they're saying
basically anywhere in Florida it's getting worse. And I don't know,

(02:54):
if you know, you can you can hypothesize however you want,
global warming or whatever, but they're basically saying all of
Florida now is bad. Like there's really no part of
it where you're immune or you're safe from the potential
of this stuff. So you're right, I don't know. Yeah,
it's not even that.

Speaker 2 (03:10):
It's like the Carolinas get hit, Like Louisiana all the
time is getting hit, Like why would you want to
live in that area if it's always happening?

Speaker 1 (03:17):
You know what? What what do you mean? Why why
would you live with the Carolinas are the most magnificent
place ever, But not every.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
Part of the Carolinas gets hit, you know what I'm saying, Like,
move more inland where the hurricane.

Speaker 1 (03:28):
Is not going to hit you in Carolina is what
I'm saying. Where you should you should live in Raleigh?
Where you should live? What a beautiful place it is? Triangle. Yeah,
Jim Cantory is personally standing there with a shield to
make sure that nothing happens to the triangle. Nothing, trust me,
nothing can happen to the Triangle. Okay. Our syndication efforts
are hinged on whether or not the people of Raleigh
are safe. Okay, So yes, I'm praying for you all,

(03:50):
I really am. Everything's going to be fine, but you're right,
and this thing is supposed to maybe go straight up
the coast. And then it was they were talking about
Nashville getting hit and like, I don't know, that's yild
all the way all the way north. Oh yeah, they
were talking about Nashville. Charlotte was in there, not the
actual hurricane, but like the remnants of it. Okay, okay,

(04:12):
but twenty inches of rain, yeah, I mean twenty inches
of rain is somewhere between ten and twenty.

Speaker 2 (04:18):
It's really crazy. Oh god, what your lawn? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (04:22):
Okay, peep, it's been like the driest summer ever that
is dead is dead. I'll tell you what. I'll go
get you some bottle water. We don't need twenty inches
of rain. I'm not interested. So all these all this time,
it's tap water is not great, even though I drink it,
which don't do what I do because I'm not completely saying,

(04:44):
but bottle water was supposed to be the move. Now
as of this morning and trending story, scientists say you
should not drink bottled water. Doctors are telling people to
rethink their preference for bottle water as research points to
contamination from chemicals and the plastic. The best option, they
now say, is tap water. I argue, tap water has
got to make your immune system stronger. Who the hell

(05:04):
knows what it is? I don't know. It just comes out,
it's free, just comes out of the sink. It's free.
I mean, it's got to be, you know, it's it's some.
It also tastes different depending on where you are. I
don't know if that's good or bad. But you know,
some tap water tastes great. Some tap water doesn't taste
so great. Some supposedly has minerals and vitamins in it,
some doesn't. I don't know. I drink it. I'm fine.

(05:26):
But they're now saying that the microplastics and other substances
in the bottles themselves that the water is contained in
is linked to cancer, fertility problems, develop mental delays in children,
and metabolic disorders like diabetes.

Speaker 2 (05:42):
There's no more bottle water now the top. I don't
even know what plastic is left in the bottles. If
you get a bottle of water, now that thing is
like paper thin, like the thing just barely like the
thing just crushes in your hand. There's barely any plastic
left in that bottle.

Speaker 1 (05:57):
The plastic is so bad.

Speaker 3 (05:58):
Anytime it changes temperature, it's contaminating the water. So like
when people leave like a pack of water in their
trunk in the summer, I'm like, oh no, that you
guys are.

Speaker 1 (06:08):
So bad for you. How many times you've been like,
get any water and someone like goes in their trunk
and they dig around like next to the tires. It's
like a bottle of water they have saved for, like
you know when they was trained in the desert, even
though they live in you know, Chicago, and they hand
it to you and you're like, okay, drink it. You're right.
How long has that thing been there forever? Like how

(06:30):
many of those do we have in the back of
the promotion vehicles? Decades old? Yeah? Yeah, but I can't tell.
I mean, it's a real thing. Like I've had guests
over to my house, like can I have a glass
of water and I go get a cup and I
go just pour it out of the tap and they're like,
you drink that? Like, yeah, I drink that. And people
are like, I think their conditioned. That that's bad. And

(06:52):
then if it's in a bottle, it's better. But I
watched that guy on TikTok the water Reese I think
is his name, and he'll tell you that if you
really look at the labels, a lot of the bottle
water they sell in the store is is filtered tap
water anyway, it's just in a bottle, So you think
you're you think somehow it's better, but then he goes

(07:14):
through all the ones you're supposed to buy, like Evion
is good, Fiji's good. Smart water apparently is garbage according
to him. But like I guess you really got to
look at the back of the container. Some of it
is like actual sourced from a spring or a mountain
or something, and then like melted glacier ice. And then
some of it is literally like you know, wherever my

(07:39):
bottle in Toledo.

Speaker 2 (07:40):
It's not coming from the springs of Poland, what do
you mean.

Speaker 1 (07:45):
Well, sometimes it is. You just got to look at
the container because a lot of it's marketing or whatever,
and then I guess what is it. Some of the
other stuff they say is fake too, like is marketing,
Like if they say the water's got this or that
in it, like it doesn't really out.

Speaker 3 (07:57):
The line or all that stuff.

Speaker 1 (07:59):
Yeah waters, Yeah, but see that's that's the guy that
would tell you that it's just he would tell you
it's just filtered tapwater, municipal tapwater from god knows where.
It's so good. Okay, it's different. I will say there
are certain bottle waters I think taste like ass, and
I won't I'm not going to say which ones they are,
but there are some I don't know how they sell it.

(08:20):
It's so bad. I'd rather drink out the hose. Oh
my god, we used to do that too. You know
why that tastes good because of the metal's worse metal
or plastic? Well yeah, oh my god, yeah, dude, we
used to do that growing up in Arizona. It was hot,
you know, we go play around or whatever on the
bikes and all this roller blades or whatever, and then

(08:42):
it was instead of going inside to get water, we
would just turn on the hose and just drink.

Speaker 2 (08:47):
I never wanted to be the first person because that
water was hot.

Speaker 1 (08:52):
One of the hose. You could get burned from that
for the first ten seconds it was hot. Yeah, yeah,
all right, what else I have for you guys? In
trending stories, researchers at the University of Cambridge are vying
to make flight times longer for the sake of the environment.
Their plan is to get the aviation industry to net

(09:12):
zero carbon emissions by twenty twenty five. One way they
say to do it a bold measure they're calling it,
would be to slow down flights by fifteen percent, which
could add as much as fifty minutes of travel time
to every journey. That would slash fuel burn by five
to seven percent and reduce the four percent industry contribution
to overall climate change. So I guess you'd go slower,

(09:33):
the airplane would burn less fuel. That would then be
less emissions, and then it would be would take longer
to get places, but it would be better for the environment.
But I don't know, because I'm seeing all the crazy
stuff people are doing on airplanes, and I don't know
if we're safer as I don't know what's better. I'm
drinking the nasty plastic water, breathing in the nasty fumes,
or being on an airplane for another fifty minutes, you know,

(09:54):
being on spirit for another fifty minutes and potentially having
my phone charger stolen and getting punched in the face.
So I don't know. You tell me what risk you'd
rather take, longer flights or nasty air I'll let you
think about him. Huh. Okay. And speaking of which, a
woman who took a man's iPhone charger. Have you seen this?

(10:15):
It went viral on a flight she's fired back after
being shamed online. So this woman, her name is Vanessa.
She says she's the woman in the now viral footage
revealing that she'd received death threats after the altercation was
taken out of context. So apparently she said she found
a charger on the ground of an empty flight, was

(10:36):
told to remove all possessions because that she didn't know
she was getting back on the same airplane. I guess
the airplane was broken. They had to fix it. They
got everybody off, they wound up fixing it. She says
she was seated towards the back of the plane, so
one of the final people to exit. She claims that
she took the charger from the ground beneath an empty
seat in front of her and tried to give it
to the crew. They didn't take it. I guess. So

(10:58):
after the initial video suggested that Vanessa was a thief
who unplugged the charger from the seat and tried to
steal it, she says there was no stealthy behavior and
she in fact made it very obvious to the people
around her what she was doing. I didn't unplug it,
I picked it up. So apparently this video shows her
then getting back on the plane and one of the
passengers going, hey, you took my charger. Can I have it?

(11:18):
And she's like, y'all get it to you later, and
then never did I guess. She says that's because she
was traveling with her twenty pound cat and I guess
didn't have any hands to give it back to her.
But this woman has been issued death threats online because
of this video of her allegedly stealing a phone charger.
Now I have phone charger is very important, I will say.
When you're traveling, I mean want if we run out

(11:38):
of battery power, you wouldn't be able to talk to anybody.
It'd be terrible. But I mean death threats online because
you may have stolen a phone charger. Yeah, that's wild. Anyway,
she says she could have acted more gracefully. People online
are like, you're a thief. You stole it, you stole it,
you knew you were stealing it. It's like, oh my god,
I don't know. Anyway, I guess I just don't touch anybody
else's stuff, and you won't wind up online with your

(12:01):
house being docked and having to move and shamed and
changed your name and moved to a different country and
drink water out of plastic bottles for the rest of
your life is a punishment. It's National dumpling Day, It's
National pancake Day, and National Shamoo the Whale Day. Are
we still doing? Are we still doing shamoo? Do we
still have shamboo?

Speaker 3 (12:20):
Let me look, I know this day honors him. I
think we lost him.

Speaker 1 (12:23):
I don't think they do the whales at Sea World,
That's what I'm saying. He made, he made. I think
there were a lot of shamoosh. This says, oh she
was a female. Oh she died in nineteen seventy one.

Speaker 3 (12:33):
Who knew?

Speaker 1 (12:34):
But I think they replaced Shamoo with Shamoo too, with
Shamoo three. Yeah, got it? Okay, Well, the other thought
we weren't allowed to do that anymore. I thought we
didn't do whales and stuff and dolphins and stuff in
parks anymore. We didn't do that. Oh it says, uh. Yes.

Speaker 2 (12:50):
SeaWorld still offers Orches shows at some locations, but they
have also phased out Orches shows at others.

Speaker 1 (12:56):
Oh there was multiple locations. Yeah, you're telling me Shamou
died in nineteen seventy one. I've met Shamoo. So someone's
lying to me. She wants talking about lies. What did
my parents say, like, no, that's Shamoo, but really it wasn't.
They didn't want to have to explain to me Shamboo
was dead. Is that what happened?

Speaker 3 (13:13):
Yeah, she went off to a farm, you know, to live.

Speaker 1 (13:15):
Yeah, exactly, and as you listened to my childhood traps.
Now we got the ski lift thing, we got Shamou,
we got the roller coasters. Oh my god, it's it's
only getting worse. Waiting by the phone from the vault,
will do it? Next? Throwback? Throwdown's coming up? Caitlin, has
you're gonna do a super entertainer report next hour. It's
gonna be the most unbelievable because you're gonna have like

(13:36):
fifty stories to do you want to because we have
a time. Girl, Yeah, we're not.

Speaker 3 (13:40):
We're not.

Speaker 1 (13:40):
We've been yepping, we're out of time. It's the
