is five zero six. Time tosay good morning to ABC's Alex Stone.
Alex, it's been a month sincewildfire tour through and destroyed Lahinah. You've

(05:15):
been on the ground there. Canyou tell us what the current situation is?
Hey Amy, good morning. Yeah, Mawi is It's in a transition
right now. The search for bodiesis done. We know one hundred and
fifteen people at least who were killed, but there are still a ton who
were on the missing list. Theyhad brought the number down, it's gone
back up with more names that havebeen added to it. The EPA is

(05:35):
clearing hazardous chemicals out right now.They've been doing that for about a week
and a half before residents are goingto be allowed back in. The People
who lived in Lahinah still have notbeen able to go in. Media have
not except for when the President wasin town a couple of weeks ago,
really been able to go in anddocument in the hardest hit areas what is

(05:55):
going on. So there is thispush among residents to say, let us
go, let us sift through everything. But they also understand what's going on,
so there is progress. It's stillvery much frozen in time in Lahinah,
and the new head of emergency Managementsays they hope to get residents back
in soon. He says this andwith the update, this one month update

(06:16):
that they're giving residence again. Isour intent and goal to support residents and
businesses returning seeing their properties, visitingtheir properties for various purposes, obviously to
collect any remaining personal effects. Andin the meantime, twenty nine hotels are
still housing victims, eleven hundred airbnbsthat cannot last forever, so the governor

(06:36):
is now talking about long term movingpeople into long term rentals. The government
will pay for at least eighteen monthsof housing for those who lost their homes
because they also many of them losttheir businesses and their jobs, and the
Governor's saying they don't want all thosepeople and families to become homeless. So
they're gonna work on that. Sothere's been a lot of progress, but

(06:58):
at the same time, a monthinto it, people have not been allowed
back in. They have not beenallowed to go and you know, look
for wedding rings and anything that mayhave survived in it. They don't have
a long term housing plan yet.They're vehicles since their cars burned up,
and how they're going to do that. So a lot they've still got to
do. Where are the people ofLahina staying? Are they in their resorts?

(07:19):
Yeah, it's some of them thatthe airbnbs are all around the island
wherever they could get Airbnb's that theywere available, but it is it's kantapally
essentially where they've put everybody. Youknow, there's a big West in there
and a Sheridan and the Hyatt,but they've got to move them out.
The island is saying tourists please comeback. Alaska Airlines from lax is offering

(07:40):
eighty nine bucks to go to Mauithat they want people to get back in
there now. Tours from on Mauihas always been controversial. There's always been
a small loud group that has foughtit and been angry about it. But
the reality is that the economy ofma aUI as it currently is is based

(08:01):
on visitors coming to the island,and so all of the scuba companies and
the dive boats that go out snorkeling, the other resorts in way Leia and
Keihy and everywhere else, they're badlyhurting right now. And they're saying,
if that economy, especially after thepandemic, everything was so locked down,

(08:22):
if they're going to survive, theyneed people to come back. They're saying,
that's how you support Maui right now. They don't need clothes, they
don't need food. They need peopleto come and spend their money at the
restaurants and doing you know, touristthings that you would do. And so
they need to get Kannapoly up andrunning again. In fact, I just
saw we got I got a notea moment ago that Leilani is on the

(08:43):
beach, which is a real popularrestaurant in Whaler's Village in Kannapoly that is
open again, which that is abig sign because Whaler's Village, the big
mall in Kannapoly, has been shutdown and had guards all around it.
So they're opening up again beginning thatprocess of they've got to get the evacuees
out of those hotels, put themin long term housing. They hope to

(09:03):
do that over the next couple ofweeks and then get it open again.
And you said that the mall hasreopened. It wasn't damaged or anything else.
It was not damaged at all.Yeah. No, no, at
least we know that the one restaurantis open. There are others like Monkey
Pod, which is another real popularrestaurant, they are not open yet,
but the fact that restaurants are beginningto open. I don't know to the

(09:26):
extent that the Whalers Village is open, but at least for the one restaurant,
you can get to it. Asof a couple of weeks ago,
as I was doing interviews in Kannapolythe resorts, and I mean people when
they go to Maui, as alot of people have, you go to
Kannapoly typically either that or why Lea, but Canna Poly is the big one,

(09:46):
and it looked it reminded me alot of as we covered Hurricane Katrina
in New Orleans. To see allthe hotels surrounded by armed guards. They
had checkpoints set up because they didn'twant looting. They didn't have any in
the big hotel Tells, but theywere protecting female workers and others who were
there, but mainly they didn't wantlooting going in there. So they had
checkpoints and armed guards around Whalers Village, around the west end, around the

(10:11):
Hyatt. I mean, all ofthem were cordoned off. And so hopefully
some of that will be coming down. And were that some of the businesses
are reopening in Whaler's Village. That'sa sign that they're beginning to move forward.
Yeah, And I'm wondering. Yousaid that the residents haven't been able
to go back into Lahinah yet asthey're continuing to do the cleanup and all

(10:31):
of that, and that's going tobe really hard for them. And this
is a little bit morbid, ButI'm wondering if once they do kind of
the EPA gets out of there andthe residents have been allowed to go back,
if they're going to let people gothrough Lahinah. And the reason I'm
wondering is because it's when there werethe big fires up in southern Oregon and
they literally destroyed two small towns Talentand Phoenix just ripped through their downtown area

(10:56):
and I lived there. My momis still up there, and I got
to drive through, and it's sadand horrific, but it's also really fascinating
to see, and I'm glad thatI got to see it. I'm wondering
if they're going to allow people backin there. Yeah, and it's a
repeated thing. You think Paradise spreadingfrom the car CRR car fire Santa Rosa,

(11:20):
after the Tubs fire, where thesehuge areas are wiped out, I
would suspect AOI is not going toallow people who are not residents in there
for a very long time until they'vecleared a lot of it out. I
know it's gonna be at least awhile because they said the Army Corps engineers
has to go in and remove wallsthat are no longer safe, you know,

(11:41):
ones that didn't crumble but are upand have no support or chimneys,
that sort of thing. So they'vegot to do all that with the with
the residents, because the residents areworried about outsiders in the federal government coming
in with a long history going backmany many decades, and the essential overthrow
of the you know, Hawaiian Kingdomand all of that. So there's a

(12:03):
lot of mistrust of those coming infrom the continental US and what the federal
government will do. So they're beingtold residents will be there for whatever the
Army Corps engineers does, So that'sgoing to be first. Right now,
you can go around Lahinah. There'sa bypass right there, see a little
bit of it, but they've putup what they call a dust screen,
which is, you know, justa chain link fence with solid like cloth

(12:26):
over it so you can't see inthe government says that's to prevent ash from
flying around. There's a real beliefthat that's to make it so nobody can
see what's going on in there andnot make it you know, looky lose
and questions about everything people are seeing, and so they have blocked off any
view of it. You know alot of these things that I think in
California people would be quite angry aboutnot being able to see, not having

(12:50):
access, not allowing the media in. But in Hawaii it's very different,
and so I don't think the publicwill be allowed in. They've got the
highway, the bypasses it you canget to Kanapala, you can get to
other areas and endo they're probably notgoing to allow anybody in for a long
time, at least who's not aresident. Okay, And before I let
you go, ABC News is doinga project called Maui Strong eight o eight.

(13:11):
Yeah, So this is an initiativethat we're doing, like we did
in Vivaldi, for an entire year, telling the stories of Maui. Eight
O eight is the area code ofMaui, but it's also the date of
the wildfire August eighth, So MauiStrong eight o eight. That we are,
We've got resources that have not leftsince the wildfires, more that will
be cycling in and out, andwe'll all be going from time to time.
So this is about continuing to putpressure on the government there to get

(13:35):
answers about the response and the recovery, telling the stories of those on the
island and how they're recovering, notto let it fade away. How often
do we parachute into somewhere, Wecover it for a week and then we're
gone and there's not a lot morefocus that goes on it. So this
is an initiative really led by byour President Kim Godwin, who she is

(13:58):
saying she wants this to be frontand center on the eighth of every month
for the next year to make surethat we get the answers and so yeah,
mawi's strong. Eight. Oh wait, we'll be going for the next
year. All right, Alex Stone, thank you so much for your update.
I appreciate it a time, gotit, Thanks Sammy. All right,
right now, let's say good morningto Dean Sharp, the house whisper
and host of home on KFI.Dean, we don't only need to do

(14:20):
spring cleaning. It's time for fallcleaning. Good morning, boss. Yeah,
I would agree. In fact,I would say that if you live
in southern California, it's actually farmore useful to do fall cleaning than spring
cleaning. Freaking It's well, youknow, spring cleaning. I have nothing
against it, but spring cleaning reallycame out of the idea of you know,

(14:45):
and still exists in the idea likeif you're sealed up in your house
over a winter with sub zero temperaturesall around you, Yeah, by the
time spring rolls around and the suncomes back out again, it's time to
open that house up and air itout and clean everything out. But you
think about it. You know,you clean your house in the spring and
then you leave it because it's timeto go outside. Here in southern California,

(15:07):
obviously, even when we have nastywinters, we don't get locked up
like that, and the house nevergets that closed up. However, when
winter rolls around in Southern California,especially last year and the year it looks
like that's coming on us here,we are going to be spending more time
inside. And then the holidays andall the entertaining and all the pressure that's

(15:31):
put on just about every area ofthe house. So I make the argument
that every September it's time to dofall cleaning, and let's get the house
ready for the fact that we're goingto be spending way way more time inside
it, and probably with guests andfriends as well. We'll be putting a
lot of pressure on the house.Okay, so for the inside, what
are some of the top things peopleshould be thinking about? Well, always

(15:54):
at the top of my list alwaysis decluttering. You know, we just
kind of you are you're talking totheir You're talking to me, whether you
know it or not. Do youhave a decluttering issue? I do you
know what I don't have a house. I have an apartment, and I
am I just have collected things andam running out of room. My apartment

(16:18):
has great storage, but I've beenthere for a long time and I'm running
out of space. I need toclear out the closets. I think that's
just the case. It's just thestrangest thing. I mean, honestly,
first world problems. Right, wejust moved through this world. We moved
through this world, and things justshow up. Stuff just shows up in
our in our house, right,It just it clings to us when we

(16:41):
go outside, we bring it homeand now we've got to hit Yeah.
So decluttering is always always a reallyreally important thing to do. But there
are other things as well. Forinstance, if you are planning on entertaining
and you do more cooking or thatkind of stuff on the holidays, now
is a good time too. Forinstance, clean the oven, which usually

(17:04):
never gets cleaned, and cleaning theoven, taking your time to do it
in a month like September when there'sno pressure on, is the better way
to do. A lot of folkshave older ovens, right, Not everybody
has the benefit of having a brandnew, sparkling oven. And I know
most ovens out there have self cleaningmodes on them, so you lock them

(17:25):
up and they go for three orfour hours at an incredibly high temperature inside
and it takes all the guck andthe muck and it just pretty much turns
it to ash, which is awesome. But the older your oven is,
the more taxing that self cleaning modeis on it, and so as your
oven ages, it is a betteridea to sort of take your time and

(17:48):
clean it manually than run it throughitself cleaning mode, because it's kind of
like asking somebody in their mid ninetieswho walks every day and is relatively healthy
to run a marathon on Friday,unprepared and untrained for it's just is that
going to make them healthier? No? I think it's going to take something
out of them. So using theself cleaning mode on the oven less always

(18:08):
a good idea, okay. Andthat's we're cooking on the inside, cooking
on the outside, which is stillpopular because it doesn't get so cold here.
That's another time to clean for thebarbecue. Clean the barbecue. Yeah,
yeah, I mean we've been usingit all summer. It's probably gunked
up and you probably have some goodcooks on it left still, especially through

(18:29):
the opening of football season and allof this stuff in September and October and
so on. But at some pointyou're gonna be wrapping it up, especially
when the rains hit. So yeah, get a good clean on the barbecue.
Just clean the stuff, clean,clean, clean, whether it's inside
or out. That's what we're lookingat. And then there are practical areas
too, like you know, checkingto make sure that everything is going okay

(18:52):
up on the roof because very verylikely we're in an Alnino year. Plus
the atmospheric river is still present fromseason, so the chance of us having
a very very wet winter like wedid this last year very high. And
if you already know your roof hasissues, now now is the time to
call out the roofer and start decidingwhat you're going to do about it before

(19:15):
the rain starts. And also agood time to check the gutters, right,
Absolutely got to clean those gutters.And a lot of people don't think
that. Well, you know,I don't have any trees near my house,
so my gutters are fine. It'snot about leaves. Really, leaves
are an issue, but you knowwhat it is, you know what collects
on your car as you sit outas it sits outside, dust, dust,
dirt, and silt settles in thebottom of your gutters and the first

(19:37):
rain turns it into mush, andthen they don't drain properly. So everybody
who has gutters should clean them outthis time of year. Okay. And
here's something that I always forget thatI heard you talking earlier this week,
I think with Bill, was tochange the filter in the furnace always.
The filter in the furnace is theevery three three months, every quarter,

(20:02):
okay, four times a year,four times a year, okay, I
always. And people are always doingfunky things with their air conditioning in their
heater. They're churning off vents inrooms, they're closing doors. We've talked
about how that's never a good idea, and they manipulate their HVAC system in
all sorts of weird ways. Theone thing you're supposed to do is the

(20:23):
thing that most people forget, whichis keep that filter clean. It's not
for you. Actually, the filteris not primarily for our comfort. I
know there's all sorts of anti allergenfilters and heppa stuff out there, but
the filter is for the unit soit can keep working effectively and efficiently and
not break down so quickly. Andso if you're if you're not good at

(20:45):
remembering, then you know, hey, it's the twenty first century. Set
a reminder, a repeating reminder inyour phone or in your calendar app.
Or you can go to a placelike filter buys dot com and simply get
on a rotating subscription of the paymentsauto shipments. Yeah, it just shows
up on your doorstep and you're like, oh, yeah, it's my filter.

(21:07):
Okay, I'm going to change itout real quick. I like that
idea. Okay, before we letyou go, I this is something to
get your home ready. And that'sjust start practicing your your holiday recipes now.
Yeah, I you know what,doing home stuff is not just about
taking care of the house. It'sit's getting ready in every regard. And

(21:29):
I just think September is a transitionalmonth, right. I'm I already.
Autumn is my favorite time of year. So by the time September rolls around,
I am so ready. But yeah, when the holidays hit, you
know you're gonna be asked to crankout some pretty good food. And now
is the time before the pressure ison to experiment a little bit, mix
it up a little bit, comeup with something new this year, not

(21:51):
just the old green bean casserole withthe crispy Youngians on top. Hey,
there's nothing wrong with green bean castthat. There is nothing wrong with it.
I'm just saying, now's your chanceget a little creedive. I like
that idea. Try it first beforeyou do it on Thanksgiving Day. Okay,
So getting your home ready is whatwe're talking about on Home with Dean
Sharp this weekend, Saturday from sixto eight and then Sunday from nine to

(22:15):
noon. I hear you're going totalk about trees. Yes, Autumn,
not spring again is the right timeto prune your trees. But most people
are very gunshy when it comes toit because they don't know how. Sunday,
I'm going to teach you, frombeginning to end how to prune your
trees correctly. Dean Sharp, hostof Home with Dean Sharp an appropriate name

(22:37):
right here on KFI this weekend,Thanks so much for your time. Right
now, let's say good morning toABC's entertainment guru Jason Nathanson. Jason,
good morning, Good morning. JimmyFallon seems like such a nice guy,
but we got some word that mightnot be the case. Well, yeah,
this article in Rolling Stone that cameout yesterday talked about a toxic workplace

(22:59):
environment and basically the fish rots fromthe head, and that head is Jimmy
Fallon, And you know, ittalked about a few incidences over the past
few years, most of them beinga couple of years ago, but then
also some of them were debunked.One of them was an incident involving Jerry
Seinfeld where Fallon was apparently abusive verballyto a Q card holder and he was

(23:27):
so bad that Seinfeld had to tellhim to apologize to this guy. Well,
after this article came out, Seinfeldput out a statement to Rolling Stone
saying it didn't happen like that,and that's an idiotic way to kind of
reframe what happened. And in fact, the incident was something that was funny
that he and Fallon still laugh aboutto this day. So there is some

(23:49):
defense for Fallon, And the articleitself seems a little bit thin in its
portrayal or it's allegations of there's nobig bombshell, you know, Falin did
this. Now, given all thatValon did apologize to staff yesterday, reportedly
in a zoom call, saying thathe you know, uh, he's sorry

(24:10):
if he embarrassed people. He neverset out to create that type of atmosphere
at the show. But it seemsalso that one of the issues being that
the show has had nine show runnersin the past nine years, and a
lot of them have not been necessarilythe best of people. But for the
past year or so, it's beenChris Miller and the people say that the

(24:30):
environment there is much better than ithas been in the past. Are a
high turnover like that? The showrunners turning over? Is that common?
No, not at all. That'sa ridiculous amount of people who have been
at the top of that show inthe past nine years. I mean,
you know, some shows have hadjust one or two during their whole run,

(24:51):
So that might be one of thereasons for the instability and some of
the problems at the show. Apparentlythings are better now a lot of the
that happened in the past. Butyou know, there have been rumors and
stuff about Fallon's robatic behavior that thisis mentioned in the article. They bring
up drinking, some incidents where hemight have been drunk. On set again,

(25:15):
we've seen that stuff reported before.It was years ago. It hasn't
been recently, so we don't knowif this is still an ongoing thing or
if that's something that was just inthe past and maybe isolated. Maybe funny
people are just mean, that's possibilitytoo, although there's a lot of them
out there that you know, peoplewho work for say Conan O'Brien or Colbert,

(25:38):
you know, you don't really orKimmel, you don't hear these kinds
of stories necessarily about them. Andwhat's interesting also is that the Late nine
host just started a podcast during thestrike which involves Fallon and Kimmel and Colbert
and John Oliver and Seth Myers,and I wonder if they're going to address

(25:59):
this or at all or not onthe podcast. It seems like something that
you probably wouldn't want to bring up, but then also again with these kinds
of guys, it seems like somethingthey would definitely want to bring up,
right it really is? It reallyis. Maybe have to listen to that
podcast and find out. So what'scoming up this weekend at theaters? And
why aren't you excited for My Bigfat Greek wedding? Three oh do I

(26:23):
have to explain why I'm not excitedfor my big because I mean, the
first one did. The first onewas fabulous. I loved the first movie,
and then it's kind of been tradingon that reputation for you know,
another sequel and now a third sequelwhich has thirty percent fresh on Rotten tomatoes.
So I'm not alone in my lackof enthusiasm for it. This is

(26:48):
you know, they take the wholefamily, they go to Greece. It's
a you know, a little bitof an adventure there, and you know,
if you were a fan of thefirst one and maybe the second,
it's something that you want to checkout. But also I don't know that
anybody was like I really got toreturn to this franchise and see what these
characters are doing. Some things arethat are left, you know, in
the past. All I know isif I do go see it, I'm

(27:10):
going to take my Windex. Okay. Do you know why I don't remember
from the first wedding that her dadsaid Windex would kind of cure all ills.
Oh okay, yeah. It waslike one of the funny kind of
running jokes on the movie that itwas one hundred years ago though, there
you go, and that's the thingit was. It was quite a while
ago, all right. And thenalso the Nune two. Oh yeah,
if you're into scary stuff, andthis is that time of year, you

(27:33):
know, scary movies are Actually they'vebecome a staple all year round at this
point, and they make money.They're usually produced for very cheap. They
almost never get great reviews, butto go and they like to get scared,
and you know, September October itis a great time for that.
The Nne the first nine, whichcame out I believe four years ago,
had a huge opening weekend in September. It's like fifty six million dollars.
It's not going to be the casethis weekend, but it's still gonna be

(27:55):
pretty good for a slow September aroundthirty million. It should top the box
office. And this is part ofthe whole Conjuring series. This is picks
up in nineteen fifty six France.A priest is murdered, evil is spreading,
Sister Irene once again comes face toface with the demon Nun and we'll
see what happens. Yeah, Imight have to pass on that one.
Yeah, it's it's better rated thanmy big back Greek wedding on rotten tomatoes.

(28:22):
Okay, but you know it's yeah, those things come down to basically,
are you a horror fan or not. If you are, then you're
gonna go. If you're not,then you're not. Yep, I'm not.
Jason, Nathan, and Sen thankyou so much for being with us.
