Breaking Brett Jensen kicks the show off by talking about the Panthers’ recent press conference with their general manager and updates on the Charlotte Knights. Brett also revisits the six-month anniversary of Hurricane Helene’s devastating impact on the mountains. Jensen plays an interview with Broad River Fire Chief Brent Haynor, who reflects on the aftermath of the hurricane, the challenges of recovery, and the community's resilience. Despite slow assistance from FEMA, local volunteers and organizations like Samaritan's Purse and Hendrix Motorsports played a critical role in providing aid

Jensen then shifts focus to rebuilding efforts in Ash and Yancey counties, highlighting the determination of local businesses and students, like those at Mountain Heritage High School, working to support the recovery through hands-on projects like building tiny homes for displaced residents.
