The Laurie DeYoung Show Podcast - October 8, 2024

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, welcome to the Lori de Young Show podcast. If
you missed our show today, we're sorry about that, but
here are some highlights for you. Be sure to catch
it tomorrow every weekday morning from five till ten, or
on the iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
Sunday's Best Country ninety three point one w POC Baltimore
Now Top stories at the top of the hour.

Speaker 3 (00:20):
All right, so we've got a beautiful day on the
way for our sunny skies today with a high year seventy,
not much to complain about there. Tomorrow basically the same,
so we got a couple of really nice days. Meanwhile,
we're keeping a close eye on what's happening down in
Florida right now because Hurricane Milton is on its way.
The storm has been downgraded to a category four storm
this morning. It's backing wins about one hundred and fifty

(00:41):
five miles per hour. That's just shy of being a
category five, which it was earlier yesterday, with winds that
we're clocking in at one hundred and eighty miles per
hour while it did weekend. Momentarily it could become a
category five again today. They are expecting that Milton is
expected to make landfall in Florida late tomorrow or early
Thursday now as become hours ago, Milton was about six

(01:01):
hundred and fifty miles southwest of Tampa, gaining strength as
it rolls across the Gulf of Mexico. This storm is wild.
Just we're talking yesterday about how it was one hundred
eighty miles an hour. Yesterday it came ninety miles per
hour in less than twenty four hours. This is an
intense growth, intense thing. A lot of the growth of
the storm is driven by warm waters, and the Gulf
to see is at record warmth right now, so that
is certainly helping to push this thing along. County's along

(01:23):
Florida's west coast have been ordered to evacuate as over
a fifty or under a state of emergency right now.
The roadways down there just looked like an absolute nightmare
yesterday's Everyone is heating those Oh my gosh. I know
it's hard, but you know, I think a lot of
folks that are probably making the right decision just to
get out of the way. South Florida hurricane specialist that's
been helping to guide residents through hurricanes for more than

(01:43):
thirty years became visibly emotional on air yesterday when discussing
the size and power of this storm, and he was
breaking out like he almost had tears in his eyes.
While much of our focus has been on Florida, here
the Yukadem Peninsula of Mexico is getting hit right now
with damaging hurricane forest winds and life threatening storm searche.
And that area where the storm is hitting right now,
you've got a lot of communities people really don't have much,

(02:04):
like really just the basics survive in general. So this
could be very devastating for those folks. But we are
certainly keeping an eye on this. It looks like it's
going to be a rough few days there for our
friends over there on the west coast of Florida.

Speaker 1 (02:14):
That's your news up date, all right, coming up on
your brief, Bethany, what do you have?

Speaker 4 (02:17):
All right? So I've got an early Christmas present for you.
I'll going today here.

Speaker 5 (02:22):
Well, I mean it's just a little you know, we'll
slid it over and then what is the most popular
bathroom color these days? Oh? You know?

Speaker 4 (02:30):
Okay, case you're refreshing.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
Right after warren Zeider's and pretty Little Poison ninety three
point one double UPO six. It's Kenny Chesney ninety three
point one double upoc. We hope you're getting along with
whoever you're with right now. We'll get to Mitchell ten

(02:52):
Penny here in just a minute, but we're talking about
living in simulation.

Speaker 5 (02:56):
Well before we get to that. I got a couple
of funny texts about the Haaren thing.

Speaker 4 (03:01):
Someone said, I have fun with the Karen thing. I'm
guessing this person's name is Karen too.

Speaker 5 (03:06):
She said, when customers see my name tag and make
a comment, I tell them to behave because I'm the
one that it was named after her.

Speaker 4 (03:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (03:16):
And then someone else said, I read that Karen is
phasing out and Jennifer and Jessica are the new Karen.

Speaker 1 (03:23):
Anybody with the name Karen's glad they're moving on to something, right.

Speaker 4 (03:28):
That sounds like a rumor built by Karen. I think.

Speaker 5 (03:30):
So all the Karens got together and they were like,
let's go with Jessica. I did see a video online
that was like jess Jennifer's like, Gen's are cool, but
Jessica like I was like, oh, like she's trying to
start a war, all right. So I saw the story yesterday.

(03:50):
So we've all heard like we're living in a simulation.
Why you guys have all heard that? Yeah, yeah, Well
there's this new scientist who wants to back it up
with like actual what he's calling research. Uh so he
from University of Portsmouth. He's done experimental and theoretical studies
of physics. And he says we are actually all living

(04:12):
in a simulation and we have zero control over our
own decisions and destinies. And he actually uses the Bible
to back it up. He says that the word might
be referring to like computer code instead of the like
the word of God. And I'm like, wow, like mind blown,
Like what are you doing?

Speaker 4 (04:34):
I don't know, what do you guys think of this?

Speaker 5 (04:36):
It imagine the guts that this guy has that he's like,
I'm gonna publish.

Speaker 4 (04:42):
Who's paying for this?

Speaker 3 (04:43):
If I don't know, like, who's who's giving him money
that he can dedicate time in his life.

Speaker 5 (04:48):
I took a sabbatical and I decided we are living
in a simulation. Right.

Speaker 4 (04:52):
I just think it's really.

Speaker 5 (04:53):
Interesting and I keep I hear more and more these
days when people like get hurt or whatever, they're like, oh,
glitch in the sim like.

Speaker 4 (05:02):
What Like, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (05:04):
I just think Dak Shepherd talks about this in his
podcast a lot, and it's usually when like a coincidence
happens to be like, see, it's the simulation. And I
always think to myself, especially in their case, because they
do you know, they live in a different world than
we live in, right, Like they live in this a
very wealthy, celebrity filled world. So when they have coincidences
of meeting other celebrities or having run and I'm like,

(05:24):
that's that's because that's the world you live in, Like,
that's not I'm not going to run into them, Like,
it's not I'm not going to have a relationship with
that person because that's not the world that I'm in.

Speaker 4 (05:33):
Yeah, I do.

Speaker 3 (05:34):
I think it's a funny thing to joke about, but
I certainly don't believe that we actually live in a simulation.

Speaker 5 (05:39):
It makes me wonder if all of the other theories
like started out as a joke too, and.

Speaker 4 (05:45):
Then eventually they were like, wait a minute, maybe this
isn't a joke. I don't know.

Speaker 5 (05:52):
This guy's an actual scientist, so actual science allegedly. I
don't know what I'd.

Speaker 4 (06:00):
Like to see is qualified. I mean, look, my sister
is a dentist. I don't call her doctor.

Speaker 3 (06:03):
Come on, let's be serious here.

Speaker 4 (06:06):
I'm kidding. I'm kidding.

Speaker 1 (06:10):
Ah, here's Mitchell ten petty. But text us seven seventy
nine six y two start with higher head. This is
where it is Bailey Zimmerman ninety three point one WPOC.
So let me just start this conversation by saying, we

(06:32):
all complain sometimes about things in our life, and that's
a normal thing to do. I don't think, yeah, we
all have. Nobody gets out of this world without some
kind of issues, you know, without some kind of heartache.
And there are also people who suffer chronic health issues.
There are people who are living through a difficult life experience.
I think of the people in North Carolina right now,

(06:54):
or last night we were watching The Voice and there
was a guy that got up to sing and he
had lost his dad and his two brothers from addiction issues,
all in the last couple of years, and you just think,
how do you come back from something like that? So
that's not what I'm talking about. I'm just talking about
people who kind of live in that place. And I've

(07:17):
talked about my older sister before. She lives in Indiana,
and she just always like every day lately, she's been
texting me about the hurricane stuff for Florida, Like I
know that people are nervous about it, and I know
that she's particularly concerned for us, and I'm like, I'm

(07:40):
already on this, like or if she like, whenever she
talks to me, it's always about a friend who has
a problem, someone I don't know, but who is suffering
with something. She just kind of lives in that place,
and I don't I just kind of wonder if everybody
has someone in their life who is always kind of

(08:04):
I shouldn't have mentioned it the other day, but she
was texting me about the Florida situation, and I was
I had just gotten some news from my aunt about
a cousin of ours who was just diagnosed with Alzheimer's.
I don't know why I said it. I don't know
why I brought it up. But then all of a sudden,
the next ten minutes, she was bombarding me with all
the questions about, well, when did she find out, and

(08:25):
what are the symptoms and what, Like I thought, Oh,
I was just trying to I know she likes to
know about family members that she doesn't normally talk to,
but she just kind of lives in that place. And
it's hard because I find I kind of have a
tendency to as lovely as she is, and I do
check in with her on occasion. It's just harder to
make that phone call to that person, sure, because you

(08:48):
know it's going to be this, you know, forty five
minute of just all the disasters she's aware of in
her life. Do you guys have anybody like that?

Speaker 3 (08:59):
Ask you a question about your sister first, And I
don't want to blame everything on social media, but I'm curious, like,
does she spend a lot of time on social media
like Face Facebook a lot? Because what I've found recently
is my aunt, I think is similar to this, and
she just lives in a place where there's not much
to do and there's not much in her life. She
lost her husband a little while ago, and I think

(09:20):
she's just in a place where she doesn't do a lot,
so she spends a lot of time on social media,
and I think very similarly. Well, yeah, like I think
even like my wife's family, they live in upstate, Central
New York, whatever you want to call it. And there's
just nothing going on, and like what they have at
their fingertips is social media and certain news networks that
are doom and gloom twenty four hours a day. And
I think for some folks that's the world to them.

(09:43):
And I think for a lot of people, like maybe
you know, say here, for example, there's a lot more
going on. There's a lot of life that can be
lived and a lot of opportunities to do things. So
I don't know if we necessarily get bogged down the
same way that folks that are kind of in this
sort of isolation place.

Speaker 4 (10:00):
Would you ever talk to her about it?

Speaker 1 (10:05):
She has always been a bit of a fragile person,
so I don't. I think if I was seeing her
every week and we were closer, you know, geographically, I
think I might have more of a interest in digging deep.
I think when you're in not living life, you know,

(10:27):
like on a regular basis with somebody, it's kind of
hard to just step into their world and go look,
you know, because you're just not connected at a level
where you feel confident. I would say, even though she's
my sister, we haven't lived in the same town since
she got married at twenty so, and she's five years

(10:49):
older than I am, so I think I would feel
a little odd about doing that. And I know she's
got some people in her life, her kids, who are adult,
and they're challenging her on some things. So I'm not
sure I would pile on. But I think, you know,
I just think that's kind of an interesting thing. It

(11:11):
makes me feel bad sure that she's kind of seeing
the world like that. Look, there's plenty of stuff to
complain about. I get it. You hear people complain all
the time, all the election, oh whatever it is. But
usually most people have some good news, some good news,
and she will, like if she has a grandchild, she'll

(11:32):
send a picture and that'll be I was trying to think,
what is the good news I get from her? And
I would say that's it because she has a lot
of kids with a lot of kids. She has four
kids that have big families, so when there's a new
grand baby, that's a positive thing for her. So she'll
send something out.

Speaker 4 (11:50):
But maybe that's it.

Speaker 1 (11:51):
Maybe it's the social media world that she's living in.

Speaker 3 (11:54):
Yeah, well she doesn't work. Yeah, social media is not
like a great thing. I'm not like boosting it up.
But I also don't to blame it for everybody's problems.
I think that's just I think that's too easy. I
think it's too easy for people to say like, wow,
darn so No, I do think you can. You can
fall down a rabbit hole and you can just kind
of get if there's nothing else in your life to
pull you out of it, it's really easy to just

(12:15):
be stuck.

Speaker 4 (12:16):
In that space.

Speaker 1 (12:17):
So you guys, don't have someone like that, You don't
have anybody that's kind of always on this kind of
downward spind spiral.

Speaker 5 (12:25):
I mean, yeah, I mean people I feel like, yeah,
but I think it's usually like you have to make
a conscious choice, you know what I mean, like see
the world in a different way.

Speaker 3 (12:38):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean I don't think I spend
a lot of time with the people that I think
are going down there. Yeah way, yeah, it's just like that,
what what is there? Like we're just going to get
together complain for exactly.

Speaker 1 (12:51):
Nobody chooses that. But in your family, they're your family.

Speaker 4 (12:55):
I don't live near my family. I don't have to
talk to them.

Speaker 1 (13:01):
Somebody did reach out on Facebook and they have somebody
who's like that never has good news always blows everything
up into the worst scenario, the worst case scenario.

Speaker 3 (13:10):
My dad's like it with sports, like so he'll he'll
text me. The primary conversation I have with my dad
is about sports, and it doesn't matter how good or
bad a team is, like say the Red Sox or whatever,
because he'll watch all the Red Sox games up there,
and if they give up one run in a game,
he's like.

Speaker 4 (13:26):
Well, there it is, the game's over.

Speaker 3 (13:27):
I can't believe this team and they're the worst I've
ever seen, and like they didn't have a great season,
but it's like every every minor duty exaggerated, all the
picture just walks somebody.

Speaker 4 (13:37):
That's it. We got to trade them. I don't know.

Speaker 3 (13:40):
Always like has the worst mindset about it. I'm like,
why don't you see what happens next? Sning like maybe around.

Speaker 1 (13:48):
All right, we've got Morgan wallin with lies, lies lies,
don't come.

Speaker 6 (13:55):
Down with.

Speaker 7 (14:00):
Love myself the moment, no thoughts, you bought it, run
it through my.

Speaker 8 (14:12):
No bottom.

Speaker 1 (14:15):
Swore Insiders nine minutes after six o'clock to keep.

Speaker 6 (14:20):
Us in the loop of entertainment and pop culture and
the things we shouldn't care about.

Speaker 2 (14:24):
But somehow we really do easthree on ninety three point
one PC.

Speaker 5 (14:31):
So I typically don't care so much about the Dancing
of the Stars stories, but same. But I thought it
was interesting yesterday that they broke protocol and released the
number of vote totals. Like, so typically these shows don't
release the number of people who actually vote, sure, but
they did, and I'm kind of shocked by the number.

(14:53):
More than fourteen million fan votes came in, uh for
you know, all of the people on they said, like,
it's not really that many because some people vote multiple times, right,
But I'm still shocked that fourteen million votes came in.
Are you guys surprised by that number?

Speaker 1 (15:09):
I was like, huh, I guess I never think about it,
so yeah, I never really had something in my mind
as to hum right right.

Speaker 3 (15:17):
I was just like, huh, but you make a good point,
like there are there are people that will sit and vote.
Like we used to get a lot of emails and
phone calls from people about like Scotty McCurry when his
career was first starting, because he had this American idol
fan base, Like he just had this army of people
on the Internet that would call an email radio stations
around the country, Yeah, requesting his songs. They were just

(15:37):
so dedicated to him. So like, I wonder if Dancing
with the Stars has the same thing, where it's like,
you've got people that are dedicated to this show and
if they find the couple they like, they will vote
as many times as they possibly are allowed to do it.

Speaker 5 (15:49):
Why it's wild because I remember watching it when it
was like, you know, top of Mind, and I never voted.
I've never voted on any reality show before, so I
was like, who's doing it and how many times. One
of the high points of Sarah Michelle Geller's career was
her role and I Know What You Did last summer

(16:11):
and the reboot is fast approaching and people are excited
about whether or not she's going to be in it,
and she says she's not going to be in it.

Speaker 4 (16:18):
Yes, she dies in the first one.

Speaker 5 (16:21):
She's like, there's a simple reason I'm dead, right, But
she's going to be involved because her best friend is directing,
and of course her husband is reprising his role.

Speaker 1 (16:29):
So well, they have brought dead people back before movie.

Speaker 3 (16:32):
Well yeah, but I'm like, it's I don't know, like
there's a point where bringing dead people back it doesn't
really work. I don't think it would work in this reboot, Like,
I don't think you can bring her back for this right.

Speaker 5 (16:43):
It's going to hit theaters next summer, and here's your
early Christmas present, Virgin River fans.

Speaker 1 (16:49):
And there are a lot of those people that love that.

Speaker 4 (16:52):
There are.

Speaker 5 (16:52):
I know they weren't going to bring it back for
season six until twenty twenty five, but now they're going
to drop it December nineteenth.

Speaker 4 (17:01):
Looks like Netflix is trying to get some end of
the year ratings.

Speaker 5 (17:05):
Diddy's mom is speaking out in defense of her son.
Janice Smallcombs says, look, he may have made some mistakes
in the past, such as not being entirely truthful about
certain things. She's kind of underselling it, really, but she
said that it's unbearable to watch what she's calling a

(17:25):
public lynching of her son.

Speaker 3 (17:27):
I mean, innocent until proven guilty, I suppose, but like
he's made some mistakes.

Speaker 4 (17:31):
It's looking pretty bad, wow, Janie So.

Speaker 5 (17:34):
And then lastly, the seventies are back, baby because gen
z and millennial bathrooms are turning toward design colors popular
in the seventies sage, peach, mint, sorbet, and avocado are
the most popular choices. Ten percent of gen z heres
would like to see paneling come back.

Speaker 4 (17:55):
Wow, if you haven't changed your bathroom since the seventies,
just keep it.

Speaker 1 (17:59):
Yeah, you're perfect, all right, all right, coming up here
in a minute, we're going to talk about jobs that
are a turnoff in a relationship. You don't want to
date somebody that has what kind of job? You can
text us if you have a thought on that seven
to seventy nine six two, just start with higher. Hey,
I'll put it on our Facebook too. We do have
a sunny day seventy for the high we're at fifty still.

Speaker 4 (18:26):
Geeze, somebody's dog.

Speaker 1 (18:44):
Today's Best Country. We're ninety three point one WPOSC. That's
Drew Baldridge. We're talking about jobs people say are a
turnoff in a relationship. Bethany, you said you had a text.

Speaker 4 (18:56):
Yeah, somebody said I would not like to date a mortician.

Speaker 1 (18:59):
Yeah, I saw that on the list rticians. I don't know.
I think it'd be kind of fascinating. I've always been
a little curious about all that stuff. Someone said anything
church related, you know, all of those things, all the

(19:26):
special occasions that most people are hanging out with their
family and doing stuff like that. You're like, they're gone,
someone said, politician anything with a twelve hour shift, okay,
real estate agents. Someone said they're constantly on their phones
and you can't even go to lunch with these people

(19:47):
without them texting and call because they're never really off
the job is how about Yeah, I know I've had
friends that do that.

Speaker 5 (19:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (19:58):
Uh, someone said a friend of mine data a chef.
Now she advises anybody who will listen to never date one.
She says, you never see them. It's the hours that
they work. Is there anybody you guys have ever dated
that had a job that you thought was kind of
difficult to live with.

Speaker 5 (20:16):
I probably would less likely date someone who didn't have
a job.

Speaker 1 (20:22):
Please just had a job at any kind of job.
Somebody said anything involving the word influencer.

Speaker 5 (20:32):
I'm no, they make pretty good cash.

Speaker 1 (20:35):
And surgeons someone who must work in the medical profession.
Maybe a nurse that I listened to them complain about
their wives and kids during surgery. Oh that's not a
good look, but we want to hear from you. I
did put it up on our Facebook. Jobs that people
say are a bit of a turn off in a relationship.
I can't remember dating somebody that had a job that

(20:57):
just really you know, like it. I don't. I can't
find one in my past.

Speaker 4 (21:03):
I can't. I was just funny.

Speaker 3 (21:04):
I was watching I was watching Love is Blind UK
because I was trying to get my fixed before the
new season if Love Is Blind of America came out,
and there was a woman who told this guy that
she was like a makeup artist that was like her job,
and he was very judgy about it.

Speaker 4 (21:19):
I was one, like, I don't know if I would.

Speaker 3 (21:21):
I don't know if I could judge someone on the
job that they do, Like there are certainly complications that
may come in, like Laura you mentioned like religious people
that work in religion, like or our churches, Like if
it's not something that you personally agree with as far
as like your religious beliefs, like that could create an
issue for your for your relationship. But like, I don't
think that would turn me off. The job itself doesn't
turn me off. It's the complications that may come from.

(21:43):
So I don't don't I find it.

Speaker 4 (21:45):
I don't know. I don't know if I could like
judge somebody on their job because everybody's got to work.
They all got to do something, right.

Speaker 5 (21:49):
I feel like that about like a military wife, Like
I don't think that life is not for me. Sure,
Like I I think that the people who do it
are amazing.

Speaker 4 (21:58):
But I don't think you would do No. I just
don't think I could.

Speaker 1 (22:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (22:01):
But that being said, like if you meet the right person.

Speaker 1 (22:04):
Right, you know you're willing to make compromises.

Speaker 5 (22:07):
I just think that seems hard. Like same thing with
like police officers and that kind of thing. Like you know,
if you're married to someone who's in the yeah, you know,
in a dangerous profession.

Speaker 1 (22:16):
Right, you're always worried every time they go to work. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
all right again, you can text us seven seventy nine,
six y two. If there was ever someone who's job
really got in the way of your relationship, tell us
about that. Here's Jordan Davis with next thing.

Speaker 7 (22:32):
You know, I swear that you stay in saying the
next thing.

Speaker 5 (22:37):
No.

Speaker 1 (22:42):
Three point one WPO. See, we were talking about jobs
that people say are a turn off in a relationship.
Someone said therapist. I guess if you thought they were
trying to analyze you, all, sure, yeah, something, I guess
that's and I thought this was interesting. Somebody said, stand
up comedian. They work weird hours and locations whole months
away for fringe festivals, casual alcohol, drug use, in fidelity.

(23:06):
Worst of all, anything that happens in your relationship will
be made public if they think they can make it funny. Yeah,
that would be tough. I think if you felt like
somebody was always making jokes about your private personal life,
I guess you'd have to know going in that's what
they do. Yeah, of course you'd be willing to take it.

Speaker 5 (23:24):
Somebody on tex said a chicken farmer. Ever see those boots? No.
Someone on text also said, my fiance is a nurse.
They have to be compassionate at work, and then when
they get home, we're out of it. They're all, that's right,
And then someone said, hey, not a job, but any
kind of narcissist.

Speaker 4 (23:46):
I don't think they wear name tags. I wish they
wish they did.

Speaker 1 (23:49):
Hi, Yeah, let me introduce myself.

Speaker 4 (23:52):
I'm gonna hurt you.

Speaker 8 (23:53):
I'm all right, christ y'all with Young Love and Saturday
Nights point one WPO, He's.

Speaker 1 (24:11):
It's post smallhone and Blake Shelton six minutes before seven o'clock.

It's Nashville News Now with Saint Pierre on ninety three
point one WPOC.

Speaker 3 (24:21):
I think when you're an artist or a band like
Zach Brown Band, I feel like if you want to
have a duet partner, you want to make a collaboration,
the world is your oyster. Like you've had enough success
that you can make some phone calls. But even they
have a bucket list of artists they'd like to work with.
During a recent interview, Zach was asked about this, and
he said he would love to do a song with Adele,
saying that she is his favorite female voice of all time.

(24:42):
That could be an interesting mash up there. Brown also
added that Paul McCartney is on the bucket list as well,
which I think that would be a really good mix.
I think Paul McCartney jamming with the Zach Brown Band
that could work out really well. Like I can see
them doing like an old like Wings song or something like.

Speaker 4 (24:58):
Musician wise, they seem to all.

Speaker 3 (25:00):
Yeah, like I remember when the Zach Brown Band did
like some stuff with Dave Grohl and the Foo Fighters,
and I was like that it just works like that's
kind of I don't know, so I'd be curious to
see if they were actually pulled it up. All right,
So let's get into the main story here, because we
finally have the details about Luke Combs's plans to raise
money for the people in North Carolina that are struggling
after Hurricane Helene. Luke had made this announcement shortly after

(25:20):
the damage started to be seen that he had been
having some phone calls and he had been working on
planning something, but we hadn't heard what that was until
yesterday we finally got the details. Luke is originally from
western North Carolina, so he definitely wanted to do something here,
so he's announced the concert for Carolina. He'll be joined
by fellow North Carolinian Eric Church. Is it Carolinian or
Carolinan Carolinian Carolinian book? Sure, all right, we'll go with

(25:44):
Carolinian Eric Church. Billy Strings will be there, and so
James Taylor. That was a name that I was kind
of intrigued to see there. I think that's kind of cool.
The event will take place on October twenty sixth that
Bank of America Stadium and Charlotte. One hundred percent of
the money raised will be donated to the relief effort.
This is going to bring it a ton of cash,
which is going to be super helpful for those folks.
More acts are expected to be added to the lineup

(26:05):
in the next few weeks. If you are interested in
being a part of this, take us to the show.
We'll go on sale this Thursday at ten am. You
can find more info at Concert for Carolina dot com.
But I think this is huge.

Speaker 1 (26:15):
James Taylor does write a lot about North Carolina.

Speaker 3 (26:18):
Does he He's I didn't know if he had ties there,
And look, I love James Taylor. I just it was
just not a name that I saw popping up with
Eric Church and Luke Colmbs right like, it wasn't the
first name on the top of my head.

Speaker 4 (26:28):
I think it's great.

Speaker 1 (26:29):
I think probably because I've written so many songs about
North Carolina, They're like, we gotta get James Taylor.

Speaker 4 (26:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (26:34):
Look, I think I think spreading the net as far.
I mean, I don't think Luke Combs and Eric Church
are gonna have a hard time selling out that stadium.
Luke Combs sold out two shows there just earlier this year,
I believe, so I think he'll be fine. But adding
a name like James Taylor certainly makes the story a
little bit bigger. That's kind of cool. So good for
them for putting that together. I think that's going to
be exciting.

Week five of the NFL season is in the books.
After the Chiefs took down the Saints on Monday Night football,
Kansas City joins the Vikings as the only two remaining
undefeated teams in the league right now. Next up a
Thursday night game between the forty nine Ers and Seahawks.
That's coming up here in a couple of days to
kick off Weed six. A Zeri hospital and university are
studying the deaths of pregnant women. The Hope Study will

(27:29):
examine the outcomes of one thousand pregnant women to better
care for mothers who suffer from heart conditions when pregnant.
So heart disease is the leading cause of death for
pregnant women, and we know maternal mortality rates in the
United States have continued to increase from about seventeen per
one hundred and twenty eighteen, it got up to thirty
three per one hundred and twenty twenty one. Now those
numbers have gone down to touch since the pandemic wrapped up,

(27:51):
but data here for the last couple of years still
as in finals, we don't know the exact numbers currently.
No direct reason for this increase and for these high
numbers has been found out, but experts point to multiple factors,
like more women waiting until later in life to have children,
and with the obesity epidemic in this country, more women
are entering pregnancy with chronic conditions such as obesity, diabetes,
and cardiovascular disease. It'll be interesting to see what this

(28:14):
study finds, because according to numbers in twenty twenty, a
woman had a better chance of surviving pregnancy in Gaza
than they did in the United States. These numbers are
not good for we're the lowest developed nation when it
comes to maternal mortality rates. Recent studies have shown that
nearly two thirds of the maternal deaths in the US
happened during the postpartum period, so after the baby, leading

(28:34):
experts to point out how the US women are the
least likely to have support such as guaranteed pay leave
and home visits during this time as well. So I
think this study is really interesting. Yeah, I think what
they find could really make some waves and how we
treat pregnant women in this country, at least I hope
they did.

Speaker 4 (28:49):
I think that the two reasons that you gave, like,
and I don't think it's you. I think it's the
study were both the women's fault.

Speaker 5 (28:56):
And I'm like, wait a minute, Like, should we look
at the system and I feel like women are kind
of underserved in our healthcare system, you know, sure, so
I want to see what that what happens with that.

Speaker 1 (29:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (29:05):
Yeah, I don't think I don't think anyone's blaming women
for waiting until later to have a child. But the
older you get, the more complications can arise. I think
that's the point they're pointing out. It's not so much
that they're like, hey, it's your fault for waiting. I
think they're more so just saying like, as you do
get older, it's yeah, it's the reality of that situation.
But yeah, I think it's a really important study. I mean,
when you look at the numbers compared to other countries
in the world, it's astounding.

Speaker 5 (29:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (29:26):
So it's when you think, with our healthcare we should
be better. Yeah.

the big.

Speaker 3 (29:45):
Story we're all watching right now is Hurricane Milton. This
storm is on a collision course with the west coast
of Florida. Milton's outer bands can start impacting some of
the area as early as this evening. Portions of central
and southern Florida, including Miami, Tampa, and Fort Myers, are
under A three for tornadoes and severe thunderstorms. This is
all before the real storm gets there. That threat level
increases tomorrow as more of the outer bands impact the state.

(30:08):
One of the big differences between Milton and Helene is
the speed. Helene was huge and caused a lot of issues,
but it moved fast. It was kind of in and
out of the Florida area pretty quick. Milton, however, is
moving slower and is expected to sort of stall over
Florida for a little bit as it continues on its path.

Speaker 1 (30:24):
That's what he did.

Speaker 4 (30:25):
You're just sad, exactly.

Speaker 3 (30:27):
Tampa and Orlando are forecast to pick up from eight
to twelve inches of rain through Thursday. For Orlando, that's
about two months worth of rain in just a couple
of days. For Tampa, that's more than five months worth
of rain in a couple of days. So that's going
to be that, coupled with the winds and the storm,
sergs and everything else you're hearing about, is going to
create a lot of problems. The mayor of Tampa, Florida,

(30:47):
is not mincing words when it comes to Hurricane Milton.
Mayor Jane Caster was on TV last night to discuss
the storm, and she said, if anyone decides to stay
in an evacuation zone, they are quote going to die.
Cast also called the storm literally catastrophe. The police chief
in Tampa is calling Milton the storm of the century.
The White House says the federal government is preparing to
lend support as Milton approaches the Florida coast despite all

(31:09):
the lies you may be seeing on social media. Femas
funded and they are ready to go. And President Biden
has approved Florida Governor Ron DeSantis's request for an emergency
declaration that will free up federal resources for disaster response efforts.
This is just going to be a big, big thing
for them, expecting to make landfall sometime late tomorrow and
into Thursday. So we're just keeping an eye on this
and just keeping our thoughts with all those folks down

(31:30):
there right in the pathway.

Speaker 1 (31:31):
That's your news update, all right, coming up on your brief, Bethany,
Trouble in paradise for a famous couple, and we'll talk

Speaker 5 (32:11):
So, after missing two games in a row, Taylor Swift
finally showed up to the Chiefs v. Saints game last night.
And the reason she didn't come sooner simple security. It's
way easier for her to go to a home game
because there's a plan already in places.

Speaker 4 (32:26):
I have no idea who won the game, because all
the headlines were just about her.

Speaker 1 (32:31):
I was gonna say I thought it was all kind
of dying down because I haven't heard people talk about
it like they used to, and I was like, that
is kind of nice.

Speaker 3 (32:37):
I think the media is still trying to hold onto it,
but you're right, I do think it's people are kind
of like, yeah, whatever, it's fine, she's there.

Speaker 4 (32:44):
We're exhausted, come on.

Speaker 1 (32:46):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (32:46):
Cissy Houston, the Grammy winning singer and mother of Whitney Houston,

Speaker 5 (33:09):
Kanye West Stan Bianca Sinceiri are headed for divorce less
than two years after they got married. TMZ is reporting
Australia's Quantas Airlines has issued an apology after a glitch
with the inflight entertainment system. I saw that the film
Daddy O starring Dakota Johnson and Sean Penn, was pumped

(33:30):
into the entertainment system in front of all passengers, and
there's lots of nudity and cussing and that kind of stuff.
Many passengers were horrified, especially those with children.

Speaker 4 (33:42):
That is the most people that saw that movie.

Speaker 5 (33:44):
So right, probably, and I'm like, hey, at least it
wasn't Madam Webb.

go to Bennett's Curse at East Point Mall. We'll give
you more details about that in a few minutes and

Ninety three point one, yes.

Speaker 1 (35:04):
Toby Keith, ninety three point one w PO. See, we
finally had somebody who guessed it. We're talking about former
President Gerald Ford, that there was an unconventional job he had.
They say, the only president to have this job before
they went into politics. And we know he played football

(35:25):
and coached and all that, but I think a lot
of other presidents have done that kind of thing before.
So Christy, what did he do that was kind of unusual?

Speaker 5 (35:35):
A model?

Speaker 1 (35:36):
Yeah, he was a model. So he appeared on the
cover of the original Cosmo magazine back in nineteen forty two.
It was not a woman's magazine when it first started out.
And so yeah, a model.

Speaker 5 (35:51):
Oh I just googled young Gerald Ford and he could
get it.

Speaker 1 (35:56):
Yeah, he's good looking. He was good looking here. So
there it is. Thanks to everybody who called with all
of their guesses.

Speaker 5 (36:06):
Yeah, somebody on text. We played a Lone Star song
a few minutes ago, and they said, thanks for the
Lone Star song.

Speaker 4 (36:15):
I needed a dose of happy.

Speaker 5 (36:17):
I like that, and that's why I talked about the
Nobel Prize winner and said nerd alert and someone said,
thanks for the nerd alert. I'm a Tausen grad and
biochemistry PhD candidate.

Speaker 1 (36:27):
That's a nerd.

Speaker 5 (36:28):
She's a UFD researching RNA. And she said that made
my nerd heart happy. So I was like, we have.

Speaker 4 (36:35):
Smart people that listened to the show.

Speaker 1 (36:37):
Is shocking? What shocking?

Speaker 7 (36:40):
All right?

Speaker 1 (36:41):
Give us the results. Yesterday we had a survey. I
think we were asking about political signs in your line.

Speaker 3 (36:46):
Yeah, you had seen a statistic Laurie that said one
third of Americans have a political sign in their yard,
and we thought that was kind of aggressive. We found
that ninety six percent of our audience does.

Speaker 4 (36:56):
Not does not I'm not seeing a lot, no wonder
and I don't know.

Speaker 3 (37:00):
We can't do this study via Twitter, but I wonder
if it depends on which affiliation you are, because like
I would say, I would, I drove through my neighborhood, yes,
and I purposely looked for signs just to see if
we match up. And I saw three signs out of
all of the houses. So I'm I mean, less than
one percent of the neighborhood has a sign out, but
they were all for Harris. Like, I think I do
live in a fairly liberal area of town, but if

(37:23):
I drive like into Harford County, I feel like I
see a lot more flags and signs for Trump, like everywhere.
So I wonder if it is an affiliation thing, like,
are you more likely to put a sign out if
you like?

Speaker 1 (37:33):
In this survey that I read about, they said Democrats
were more likely.

Speaker 4 (37:37):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (37:37):
Interesting if you're a party person.

Speaker 4 (37:39):
Yeah, my thing is like the people who like build one.

Speaker 5 (37:43):
I'm like, oh, well, I am so tired, and you
want me to construct a sign for you?

Speaker 4 (37:48):
I don't think so it's not happening.

Speaker 1 (37:50):
All right, We've got a new survey up today. You
can take a survey on our ex.

Speaker 3 (37:55):
Yeah, it's spooky seasons. We want to talk about horror movies.
About sixty five percent of Americans say they saw their
first horror movie before they were eleven years old.

Speaker 4 (38:02):
Did you.

Speaker 1 (38:04):
I mean, back when I was growing up, the horror
movies were like Frankenstein or something. And I do remember
when I was a little kid that there was a
scene where Frankenstein carried a little girl in his arms.

Speaker 4 (38:15):
Spoiler alert.

Speaker 1 (38:16):
Come on, that was scary to me because I was
a little girl and so. But even Wizard of Oz
the monkeys were scary. So I'm not sure how we
classify a horror film back then.

Speaker 4 (38:28):
I think you're overthinking it.

Speaker 1 (38:29):
Okay, what about you, guys, did you see a scary
movie before eleven?

Speaker 3 (38:33):
I'm pretty positive yes, Like I'm trying to think back, like,
I'm pretty positive, Like the first one I saw was
Evil Dead too, and that was definitely before I was
eleven years old, Like I want to say, I was
like in a fourth or fifth grade, So I don't
think I did.

Speaker 1 (38:45):
Okay, your mom was policing it a little bit.

Speaker 3 (38:47):
More well all the way, Oh, definitely was not at
my house, Like I did watch it at my house.

Speaker 4 (38:52):
Right, so in a sleepover or something.

Speaker 1 (38:54):
All right, take our survey. We'll give you the results tomorrow.
We also have some new stuff at WPOC dot on
the Lorie deongk Show.

Speaker 5 (39:01):
Yeah, there's like a I don't know, I don't know
if it's a funny video or an interesting video where
Morgan Wallen is signing stuff after his show in Tampa
and somebody asked him to sign a chair and he
didn't because that's not a good look. Yeah right, because
he understands he's in a little bit of trouble for
throwing a chair.

Speaker 1 (39:21):
So all right, well, if you want to take a look,
it is there for you today. It's going to be sunny,
highs up around seventy. We're at fifty two degrees right now.
