Homeless-outreach needs and Silversyde benefit concert
The pope-style bit is explained: passersby have mistaken a co-host for the Pope and gather on his lawn until he appears on a balcony with advice. A host (addressed in the audio as "Boo Boo") describes flood-displaced homeless camps near the rivers needing four-man tents, brown and green tarps, bottled water, bug spray, food, and hygiene supplies. The hosts announce a Silversyde acoustic benefit concert on Tuesday, July 14 at 6523 Merlhay Road in Johnston with a suggested $5 donation, with goods and money going to Job Outreach.
