Hour 3 (10.28) 8:05: We often hear stories about people, particularly retirees, selling their homes, furniture, vehicles — you name it — to live onboard a cruise ship for years. The residential cruise ship Villa Vie Odyssey suspended its round-the-world four-year voyage and stranded over 200 passengers in Cambodia after soaring fuel costs. The cruise ship is now on temporary layup in port, having set sail from Belfast two years ago. Permanent residences start at $100,000, and go up to more than $400,000, plus monthly fees for life onboard. But it hasn’t exactly been smooth sailing and there’s no guarantee the voyage will ever resume. 

8:20: Breaking news: The Milwaukee Brewers have just won the World Series! Is it their first championship win? Timmy thinks so! The Los Angeles Summer Olympics 2028 new slogan has been revealed: Stars align. That it? Where’s the rest of it? It reflects the coming together of athletes and fans from all over the world — and some other stuff. Where can you find your best deals for Thanksgiving? At Walmart, you can buy a 10-pound turkey for 84 cents a pound — that’s less than $9. Meanwhile, at Target you can do the entire Thanksgiving spread for six people for just $30. Bundling is the trick. At Walmart, you can feed 10 people for $3.50 a person. You can get a free turkey at ShopRite if you spend a certain amount at the supermarket chain. 

8:35: With the MLB now over for the year, sports lovers still have the NFL, NHL and NBA to look forward to. That sentence was a nightmare for dyslexics. The cops pulled over a couple to prank them on their wedding night as they were headed for their honeymoon while they were still in their tux (the groom) and the wedding gown (the bride). A guy decided to swallow $760,000 in diamond earrings rather than give them up after snatching them from Tiffany’s in Orlando. He’s been forced to stay in hospital until he evacuates the baubles. 

8:50: High tide has never been higher in parts of SoCal and Orange County thanks to this crazy El Nino weather bringing weird waves and coastal flooding. We’re talking shin deep water in Newport and on the Pacific Coast Highway. The community is rallying and helping each other out with support and sandbags. The flooding is predicted to subside tomorrow and won’t return ’til Thanksgiving. Some restaurants and stores are doing it tough with soggy carpet and waterlogged floorboards.
