Good morning. It is Thursday, September 29th and taking a look at things that are

trending this hour. Hurricane Ian. It made landfall west of Fort Myers yesterday around 3 p.m.

21 million people braced for the hurricane. More than 2 million people will order to evacuate.

Thousands are without power and the storm is expected to have caused more than 67 billion dollars

in damage. Also trending New York Yankees Aaron Judge. He hit his 61st home run of the season,

tying the American League record set by Roger Maris in 1961. And finally trending,

Kuleo, the Grammy winning rapper, producer and actor best known for his 1995 hit Gangsters Paradise,

has died. He was 59. Okay, so we were talking about this before the show. I am 38 years old. So for

someone of my generation, as what that you said that was 1995. Yes. So I would have been 11

years old. And I remember this to be able to hear the unedited version of that song and figure

out how to do it without your parents knowing was quite the feat to pull off. So we were talking

about two things with this. So number one, Weird Al Yankovic made that song infinitely better and

made him, him being Kuleo, infinitely more famous with the Amish Paradise parody. Right.

And Kuleo hated at least in his prime that version, which always blew my mind because

for people like me, for kids, they were exposed to Gangsters Paradise because Weird Al did the song

Amish Paradise. And I was like, why would you be mad that people are younger people,

otherwise might not be exposed. I don't know if you noticed Casey, I did not listen to a lot of

rap music in my youth. Was it because you weren't allowed to or just wasn't your taste preference?

Well, my parents tended to act like anything after about 1982 never happened when it came to

musical choices. So thus you had to find it on your own. But it's like Weird Al was okay. And

there's this Amish Paradise song and you're like, this is so funny. This is so cool. And then

some kid at school inevitably said, yeah, that's a cover of a song called Gangsters Paradise.
