Hurricane Irma Victims Need Our Help
I was born and raised in Palm Harbor, Florida, just north of Clearwater Beach. My FL friends and family from all over the state have been checking in, including my main MVP Erica who was Team A Disaster Protocol at Morton Plant Hospital in Dunedin and worked throughout the entire ordeal, her view from the hospital parking lot:
The real heroes:
<3 <3 <3
There are LOTS of ways to help the victims of this historical storm who will need support and resources for a long time to come.
1. Donate or volunteer
Multiple organizations are appealing for donations so they can send volunteers and supplies to the disaster areas.
They include the American Red Cross, the Salvation Army, Catholic Charities USA, UNICEF, Oxfam America, Americares, Habitat for Humanity and Save the Children.
Crowdfunding site GlobalGiving’s “Hurricane Irma Relief Fund” aims to provide food, water and medicine to survivors. It also plans to offer longer-term recovery assistance in helping people rebuild their communities.
GoFundMe is hosting dozens of crowdfunding campaigns that have been launched by individuals hit by the storm, or by those who want to help.
With Irma expected to displace thousands of pets, the ASPCA Field Investigation and Response Fund, Best Friends Animal Society, The Humane Society of the United States and my personal friends at The Humane Society of Pinellas are seeking donations to boost animal rescue efforts.
Feeding Florida is working with the state’s food banks to make sure people in need are kept fed and hydrated.
Donors Choose has launched a recovery fund to help teachers in Florida and other parts of the southeastern U.S. rebuild their classrooms and replace supplies.
2. Give blood
Blood centers in Florida anticipate a shortage in supply, as their counterparts did in Texas following Hurricane Harvey.
Search online for blood drives local to you via the Red Cross website to book an appointment, or visit the LifeSouth website if you are in Florida.
3. Provide accommodation for evacuees
Airbnb is seeking homeowners in Florida and northern Georgia who are willing to open their homes for free to people who have been displaced by the hurricane and for relief workers who are deployed to help.
VIRAL: Guy Writes Goodbye Letter to Chicago
Comedian, Eric Barry wrote a letter for Huffington Post saying goodbye to Chicago and Chicagoans aren’t too happy about it. The piece chronicled Barry’s 3½ years here, with him writing about having trouble making new friends, meeting women, near death experiences and struggling with transportation (WHO TOLD HIM THE L WAS AMAZING?!).
“Chicago seemed like a place so full of hope and promise” after moving from San Francisco in 2014, Barry wrote. “But three some odd years later, my own spirit, just like my body, have come to feel beaten, defeated.”
People are pissed because he goes on to criticize our proud city, culture and politics.
You can read the full article HERE, but Brian & Lou will have Eric on to discuss the article at 8a TOMORROW!

Hurricane Irma Causes Ocean To Disappear
Hurricane Irma is so powerful that it STOLE water from the beaches in the Bahamas and Florida!! intense that it has sucked up massive amounts of water from beaches in Bahamas and Florida in recent days. This incredible phenomenon will blow your mind and make you skeptical but it is indeed real. The super low pressure in the center of the storm pull in air and water from nearby areas into the eye of the storm. It’ temporary, but it makes for some wild photos when you see that the ocean disappeared.
Video via Kelly Johnson who was in the Bahamas during #Irma, shows how strong off shore winds can appear to empty the ocean temporarily pic.twitter.com/NWawlGxY4z

30 Seconds To Mars’ Leto Went Blind For New Role
I don’t know if anyone can ever accuse Jared Leto of not working. Besides being an Oscar-winning actor, his passion for music is evident when he lets you know that 30 Seconds To Mars is not a side project. He and the band spend months and months on the road touring and connecting with fans.
Now, method acting? Maybe you can accuse Leto of going overboard…or maybe it’s exactly the thing that makes his various performances stand out.
Jared has a pivotal role in the Blade Runner sequel coming out October 6th. He plays a blind android manufacturer. And in order to understand his role, he wore contact lenses that not only gave the appearance of his lack of sight, but diminished his own to the point that he couldn’t see —- he had have a person assist him from place to place.
If you haven’t had a chance yet, see this short that gives you the backstory on his character. And keep an ear for “Walk On Water” on 101WKQX, the lead single from the band’s upcoming fifth album.

‘Die Hard’ Turned Into Illustrated Christmas Book
“It’s A Wonderful Life” wasn’t always the Christmas classic we know it as today.
In fact, it was a box office failure in 1946 and came out to mixed reviews. It wasn’t until about three decades later that it gained steam as a family staple and, according to Wikipedia, “one of the most loved films in American cinema and has become traditional viewing during the Christmas season.”
1988’s Die Hard might be headed the same path.
Argued over whether it belongs on the list of holiday cinematic classics, it will be adapted this year into an illustrated holiday book called A Die Hard Christmas: The Illustrated Holiday Classic. It will hit stores on October 17th. And it’s never too early anymore to do your Christmas shopping —- [eric]

At a special concert to reopen the Manchester Arena which was struck by terrorist attack earlier this year, pop singer Rick Astley delivered a roaring cover of the Foo Fighters ‘Everlong’. This follows up Astley joining the Foos on stage in Japan in August at the Supersonic Festival where he sang as the band covered his mega-meme hit ‘Never Gonna Give You Up’. At that shows, Foo leader Dave Grohl called Astely their ““new best friend.”

Story behind the Wild fire golfing photo
The image above is not ‘fake news’. It not a photoshopped and cropped pic created to get shared by people duped into thinking it’s real. It is a photo of men casually playing golf while a massive wildfire burns on a massive destructive scale behind them in Oregon. It was taken by photographer Kristi McCluer who conducted an interview with Fortune.com to confirm it is indeed a real photo from wildfires that started early last week near the border of Washington state and Oregon.
The fire itself caused air warnings to the city of Portland and it believed it will be contained at some point this weekend. Thousands of people have been displaced by the fire reportedly was started possibly by a teenager shooting off fireworks into the forest near Eagle Creek.
You may have already seen the photo shared with many adding their own narrative to what it represents or simply marveling at how bizarre it is. The fire and putt putt classic got viral off a tweet from TV writer David Simon, best know for his work on ‘The Wire’ .

Win Free Pizza For Life if you can eat enough jumbo slices
(from timeout.com)
Here’s what we know:
Local chain Bacci Pizza is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, and it’s marking the occasion with a contest that challenges pizza-lovers to eat as many of its signature jumbo slices as possible. The incentive for this gluttony is a grand prize of $2,500 and free Bacci Pizza for life—second place gets $1,000 and free pizza for a year, while third place receives $500 and free pizza for a month. (MORE HERE)
Bacci is my go to Riot Fest pizza. The slices are bigger than your head. 1 cheese slice is enough to survive an entire day of full on concerting. I’ve never actually put that theory to the test before but I’m pretty sure it’s correct. I can’t imagine being able to consume more than one but that’s probably why I’ll never be a food eating contest champeen!!
