Money Money.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Here's a little something that could help your money grow.
This is the Bloomberg moneymnutte on seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 3 (00:09):
Are we saying good morning to Denise Pellegrini at our
Bloomberg newsroom in New York City. Here comes chat GPT
Health Denise to help you and me to manage things
if you will.
Speaker 4 (00:23):
Yeah, that's what they say. Open Ai is introducing chat
GPT Health. It's feature that will allow users like you
and me to analyze medical test results, also prepare for
doctor's appointments, and seek guidance on things like your diet
and your workout routine. It could connect with electronic medical
(00:44):
records as well, also with wearable devices and wellness apps.
And they say it's intended to provide useful health and
fitness information but stop short of making formal diagnoses. And
they're also stress it's designed to supplement, not replace the
judgment of doctors.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
Right, And yeah, I've been a lot of news lately
about suicide teens and and things like that. With chat GPT,
I mean, it's a fine line there.
Speaker 4 (01:12):
It's horrible. And also they're trying to wall off health
conversations from other parts of the app. Uh, that's an
enhanced privacy feature because that's a concern as well. Sure,
you know you put all your information on chat GPT.
Chat GPT benefits from having all that information. That's what
it does. Sucks up all this information and markets it
(01:35):
in various forms. So it's all very interesting. I mean,
some of these apps, these health apps are amazing.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Yeah, they really are, I mean, and it's all the
rage for a lot of people these days. We talk
about that regularly here on Tuesdays with Julieusfording. Meanwhile, driverless
vehicle plans. Ford has plans for that.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
Yeah, and Ford, which has a lot of operations in
your neck of the woods, is talking about debuting technology
within a couple of years that will allow drivers to
take their eyes off the road, and that, when you
think about it, could lead the automaker into the robotaxi business.
Speaker 5 (02:12):
Right.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
Ford's Blue Cruise driver assist feature does currently allow you
to take your hands off the wheel, but you got
to keep those eyes on the road under the current model.
The new version allows drivers to look away though. That'll
debut in Ford's forthcoming thirty thousand dollars all electric small
pickup truck platform. When we get that maybe in a
(02:32):
couple of years, Okay. And our futures this morning, Denise, Yes,
stock futures are lower, down futures down one seventy eight
s and P futures down twelve, Nasdaq futures down sixty five.
We did have a report about job creation showing, you know,
not as many firings and maybe more hirings than the
trend was for twenty twenty five. So that's a good
(02:53):
solid start if you're looking at an economic indicator. But
at the same time, you know, the job market's too good,
the Fed might not cut interest rates, So maybe that's
contributing a little bit to the negative tone with the
futures today. And also that whole thing with the President
Trump and the housing market and blocking large investors from
(03:14):
buying homes, and also the whole defense constructer thing, which
has defense stocks themselves higher right now because they're anticipating
higher spending. But still just a lot of uncertainty about
what the President might say today. From Bloomberg. I'm Tenise
Pellgreny News Radio seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
Eight eleven here on the Morning Show on seven hundred WLW.
We do this every single Thursday at this time we
get together. You hear him on better than two hundred
and seventy five stations syndicated nationwide, and we're happy that
his home Nase is right here in the Buckeye State
and Centinnati, Ohio. Talking about our friend Gary Sullivan. Happy
(03:55):
New Year, my friend.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Well, a happy new Year to you. Tom.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
How you doing doing great? I'm doing really really well.
I hope your holiday went well.
Speaker 5 (04:03):
It went great.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Do you have a lot of family time?
Speaker 3 (04:05):
I sure did and it was a fantastic Hope you
did too, Yep, sure did. Okay, we've been talking and
a lot of people talk all the time about New
Year's resolutions, right, and we were talking the other day
that seventy nine percent of those has to do with
people getting in better physical shape.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Yeah, right, A lot about health right now, Yes it is.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
But look, there's also some New Year's resolutions you can
have with your home. And as you talk about regularly,
there is no bigger investment for most of us out
there than what we invest in our homes, and so
you want to keep them in tip top shape. Let's
start with the most basic thing we need in life
besides air, and that would be water.
Speaker 5 (04:49):
Well, that ties into the health thing. Also, Tom is
you know in a lot of parts, and it's been
in the news over the years, you know, a number
of years back with flint Michigan and everything. How safe
is our water? And I want to say upfront, some
of the most safe water in the United States is
right here in the Grader six set area. It's wonderful water,
(05:12):
but it's very hard water. Lots of limestone, you know,
limestone's good for racehorses and bourbon. That's so good for
our home. Okay, yeah, you're right about that. Okay.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
We hear all the time about water softeners, right, and
there are some that you salt, there are some that don't.
Could you walk us through sort of the differences if
you're thinking about a water softener here in twenty twenty six, yep.
Speaker 5 (05:40):
So there's three water quality products out there. There's salt
free water softeners. You may have heard it advertise. That's
very appealing to somebody that doesn't want to carry fifty
pounds bags of salt down into the basement.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Which I do all the time, so do I.
Speaker 5 (05:58):
And also there's parts of the country now that have
brine restrictions in other words, that salt flushes out the system. Okay,
when it collects hard water deposits, and that brine goes
down into the sewerage system which goes into the waterways.
And there's some people different parts of the country now.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Have some brain restrictions.
Speaker 5 (06:17):
So that's one and I'll explain the difference between the two.
And the other one is the one you and I
are used to, the water softener that you put the
salt in the big salt tube and away you go. Now,
the whole thing what a water softener is is it
takes out or eliminates hard water, that's the minerals in
(06:42):
the water. So the salt free is not really a
water softener, so it's not really taking out hard water deposits.
What it's doing is the sult free softeners actually removed
the They they change the molecular structure of the minerals
(07:03):
in the water, which allows it to pass through you know,
your water heater, your shower and everything. And what they've
done is they've charged the hard water particles so that
it does not stick on metal surfaces. The salt free
or that's the salt free the salt type, it starts
(07:25):
kind of collecting those Okay, it's not really chargingm So
when you put the salt in there, it's really removing
the hard ware depositives. It's really the best soft water.
It's actually giving you soft water, good for your skin,
good for your clothes, good for your water here, good
for your showers. It's soft water. It's removing it, and
(07:48):
then the salt flushes it out of the system. A
lot of people when they get salt in a system,
they're afraid that they're going to be ingesting salt.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
It's not.
Speaker 5 (07:59):
That's going down the i'll say, sewer, septic whatever. It's
kind of removing it. It allows the soap to lather better.
It really is eliminating the hard water. And again that's
salt free. It's just charging the particles in there. It's
keeping the hard water from sticking on glass, on metal.
It's just allowing that hard water to not adhere to
(08:25):
something in your plumbing system. It's going right down the drain,
but you don't get the benefits of the i'll say
good for your skin, good for your clothes, your hair, Yeah,
that type of thing. So that's the two main differences.
Then there's a third one, and it's not a water softener,
(08:45):
and that's a product. A lot of people get very confused.
They think of a water softener is really bringing up the
quality of water, and it is from a hardness standpoint.
But a reverse osmosis, I don't know if you have
one of those in your home or not. Those are
usually a point of use, like underneath the kitchen sink
(09:06):
or in the bathroom. And what it does is a
company will come and they will test for chemicals in
your water. Like I said, in the Cincinnati area, we
got pretty good water. But you may be surprised. There
may be maybe you're someone that doesn't want fluoride in
your water. Maybe in older areas you have a lot
(09:28):
of lead pipes. It'll test for lead. You know you're
receiving good water, but then as it goes through an
old plumbing system, by the time you drink it, it's
not so good. So they'll test for lead, they'll test
for fluoride, they'll test for chlorine chlorine. And that's what
a reverse osmosis is. It goes through like three if
(09:49):
you install one, it'll go through like three sets of
filter and it'll actually filter out those different chemicals that
are in your water. So that's totally different from the
water softener. So there's really two that you need to
pay attention to. One is the water softener that's for hardness,
like over in the Milford area.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Very very hard water.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
A lot of heating elements go out because of the
hard water, and probably a lot of showers don't look
so good because of the hard water. But get your
water tests and just see how hard it is, and
when you're there, do a test on the actual chemicals
in the water, and then you can make a decision
if you want to do one nune or both of them.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
So it sounds like, correct me if I'm wrong here,
but it sounds like if you're really interested in the
healthiest possible water just in one particular area, and you're
talking about this reverse osmosis, that would really be the
focal point. It sounds like, if I hear what you're saying,
where you might clean food and all those kinds of
things would be in the kitchen right right.
Speaker 5 (10:55):
I would say probably ninety percent of them are put
right on the kitchen. Some of them have to have
another spout through a granite countertop. Yeah, a lot of
people don't like doing I think it was Culligan. About
seven eight years ago they came up with a system
where it's bluetooth. There's a switch and it literally shuts
(11:16):
the water supply going straight up from the pipes and
it sends it through the osmosis system and out the spout.
Bottom line there, not to confuse anybody, is you don't
have to drill through the countertop. Okay, so that, but
the kitchen area is certainly tom where you want to
put it, you know, And quite honestly, it's just like
(11:37):
a breta water filtering system on steroids.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
I want to get back to something you said a
minute ago about some of the stuff that would go
into say the sewage and then into some waterways. Most
people are on some kind of sewage system. There are
some of us who are septic. You touched on that
a minute. If you are someone who has a septic system,
(12:05):
does this stuff mess that up?
Speaker 5 (12:07):
Well, it's so diluted, I would say no. I mean,
it's not really a reason to totally walk away from
the salt type water softeners.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
But I also want to say.
Speaker 5 (12:20):
It depends on how much water you actually use. And
again that's why it's really good to work with somebody
to do those studies. Like I was in a home
depot the other day and they got a home water
softener for one thousand bucks on the shelf.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Install it yourself, but I.
Speaker 5 (12:40):
Really recommend working with a plumber or a professional where
they can really give you what's best for you. I
think that's what I want to give everybody a shout
out is, let's do it right. Let's address all the needs.
Let's address the chemicals, let's address the minerals. Let's address
how much water you're using. Let's dress how long that
water softener is gonna last.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
I've had both.
Speaker 5 (13:02):
In my home and the ones over the shelf, you're
probably gonna get about seven years out of just by
the mechanics of it, and maybe your better brands you
might get fifteen twenty years out of it, right, and
they're probably double the price. But I'll tell you when
I switched mine out, and this has probably been about
(13:23):
eight years ago, now I could instantly.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Tell the difference. There's no doubt there was a pig difference.
Speaker 5 (13:30):
So really, I think the step number one is if
you're always complaining that it's so hard to clean the shower,
there's water deposits, there's water spots on the glasses, on
the shower doors on this that get the water tested.
It doesn't it doesn't cost you anything. Just let's find
out what's in the water, and especially if you have
(13:51):
you know, you were talking like or I was talking
about over in the Milford area, right, very hard water.
But there's also some older century type holmes. And I
don't know what type of service line of water you
have coming into that home.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
I don't know what kind of pipes you have in
that home.
Speaker 5 (14:08):
And if there are lead pipes, and there's still plenty around,
you may have some lead in those pipes, not coming
from the municipality, but coming from your own realm exactly.
So let's find out what's in the water. It doesn't
mean everybody has to have one. We were talking about
New Year's resolution and healthy water. There it is. Let's
(14:29):
find out what's in the water. Let's do that, you know,
Let's find out what's in the water and take some action.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
If it's bad news, it's great stuff.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
Gary, you are the best my friend. Again, Happy New Year,
and thank you for your expertise. This is great stuff.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Thank you, Tom.
Speaker 5 (14:43):
Look forward to next week.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
Okay, Buddy Gary Sullivan. You can hear them on fifty
five KRC Saturday and Sundays from nine until noon, and
syndicated nationally on nearly three hundred radio stations across America. Alright,
let's check the roadways, Chuck. What's happening out there, sir?
Things are getting better. All delay times have dropped under
(15:05):
the ten minute mark. This from the UC Health Traffic
Center u see Health Weight Loss Center off for sergical
and medico obcitcaren expertise called five one three nine three
nine two two sixty three. That's nine three nine twenty
two sixty three southbound seventy one, just under the ten
minute delay mark. The break lights are continuing between Pfeifer
and Red Bank, with a broken down at the Reagan
(15:26):
Highway on the shoulder. Northbound seventy five is the other
one that's just under the ten minute delay mark. Between
Erlanger and downtown in Bend, seventy four still slows just
a bit above Montana southbound seventy five, heaviest through Lachlan.
Chuck Ingram News Radio seven hundred WLW y WCPO nine
First Warning fore Cast presented by our friend Jennifer ketch mark.
(15:49):
A little bit chilly out there, but not four long
overcast guys. Today we're up to sixty two degrees if
you can believe that, there's a chance for a very
spotty shower roughly between two and four o'clock this afternoon,
but don't get uptight about it. Tonight spotty showers again,
low down to fifty five. Tomorrow, those showers will hang
(16:12):
around in the morning and then stop by right around lunchtime,
and then we'll stay dry the rest of the day
and sixty five degrees if you can believe that tomorrow overnight.
Tomorrow night is when the most amount of rain should
come in widespread rain across the Try State. Are load
Tomorrow night fifty and then the showers again will be
(16:33):
around into Saturday morning, but again stopping and a dry afternoon.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
We're up to fifty two degrees.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
But then Saturday night, my oh my, do things change,
and I mean change in a hurry. Are high on
Sunday is going to be thirty four degrees and Jennifer
said that with the wind chill, it will feel like
it's in the twenties when you get out of bed
on Sunday morning. Coming up in about fifteen minutes. Hey Michelle,
(17:04):
to tell you what's going on in and around town
this weekend.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
This is seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Money money, money smell that fresh money news is being served.
This is the Bloomberg money bet on seven hundred wlw.
Speaker 6 (17:21):
This is a Bloomberg money minute. Shoppers are rushing to
spend store credits and gift cards at Sacks Fifth Avenue,
as a retailer is said to be heading toward a
potential bankruptcy restructuring. When a company files for Chapter eleven,
it's not automatically required to honor gift cards. SAX says
customers can shop, earn, and redeem benefits as usual. Turning
(17:42):
to trading, President Trump's plan to request an increase in
the military budget is giving a fresh boost to defense stocks. However,
futures are heading for a lower open pulled down by
tech shares, and Ford is planning a new driver assist
feature that will allow folks to take their eyes off
the road. Ford's Blue cruid Stem currently allows drivers to
take their hands off the wheel, but requires them to
(18:04):
focus on the road. The new version that allows drivers
to look away, will debut first on Ford's forthcoming thirty
thousand dollars all electric small pickup truck platform. Expect to
see this feature in twenty twenty eight, for it is
still determining how to price it. According to Donaho Bloomberg Radio, the.
Speaker 7 (18:28):
SINC ninety convention Center and at a lot of thirty
people are out there skating, so this is your time
to take advantage of open skate time. And it's a
fun little area, So go check that out.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
Yeah, I was amazed how cool that area look just
driving by it for the first time not too long ago.
And if you're wondering, that goes Monday through Wednesday three
to eight pm, then nine to ten Thursdays and Fridays,
and nine to eight on Sundays. And that's going through
the middle of February. And then what is this chip
(19:00):
cook off? For crying out long?
Speaker 7 (19:01):
I know, speaking my language, I made chilly everly weekend.
I should have like intered it should A family market
does this every year three to five on Saturday. It's
free to attend ten dollars to enter your chili and
then everyone can go around and sample it all. And
family is just a fun place to go with the family. Anyway,
there's something for everyone to nibble on and enjoy. So
that's a good family absent right now.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
That sounds like a lot of fun and Saturday it
should be by the time that gets going from three
to five pm on Saturday. We were talking about the
weather earlier. There might be some rain early Saturday morning,
but it should stop right around lunchtime, so that should
be about perfect. Okay, now we got the date night,
always a big night.
Speaker 7 (19:40):
Yeah, yeah, So Trey Kennedy is at the Task Saturday
eighties comedian actor singer bent around for a little bit,
funny guy. Everybody need is a little laughter, and I
feel like this is the weekend of tribute. I don't
know whether all the real well some of these people
are around anymore, but you know, really.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
Well, well, there's a debate about Elvis. There is debate,
that's true.
Speaker 7 (20:02):
There's a debate on this one Elvis. It's the tribute,
not him, but this at the Aaron Off. I went
to this last year because I have a son who
is a humongous Elvis fan, and it was very fun
and a lot of the women there did think it
was really him. I'll tell you that airon off Saturday
at seven thirty, and they have four of these impersonators
who hit every era of Elvis and it is really
(20:24):
really impressive.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
So it's nice.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
It's like a concert by Elvis impersonators, right, it is, yes, and.
Speaker 7 (20:31):
They really get into it and the women run up
to that stage like at him. My son looked at
me and said, they know it's not really him. Right,
It's pretty funny and we can jump to the I
have other tribute bands also as well, nailed out at
the same time. We've got ten which is the Pearl
Jam band. They play at Boguarts Friday at seven. And
then the Four Horsemen, which is a Metallica tribute band,
(20:51):
and they are with the Pretender which is the soop
Fier band and they are playing Saturday Boguards at seven.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
That sounds fun, that's the right.
Speaker 7 (21:01):
And then there's the World of Oddity's Expo. I've not
heard of this one, but they, in their own words say,
we're weird and bizarre are the norm. Uh. There's burlesqued performers,
tattoo artists, taxi ernie speakers and more at the Sharonville
Convention Center. That's Saturday eleven to seven. There's also the
Beatles Candlelight Tribute. These keep going on and they're so
(21:23):
popular and fun. But there's a string court tet playing
all Beatles music. And this is at Memorial Hall.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
At eight thirty on Saturday A lot you have you
ever been to that or this the first year they've
done it.
Speaker 8 (21:36):
I've been.
Speaker 7 (21:36):
I've been a couple of times, and I would go again.
It really isn't like the one that it's it's it's
really pretty. It's just a really cool atmosphere. It's a
great date situation. But check them out because they do
these to all kinds of music. Tailors Swift to the Beatles,
to whoever, and so find your favorite music and I
would go see it if you've never done it.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
Okay, all right, that sounds fun. Okay, now we get too.
If you're going out with a group of friends, single
not single, doesn't matter there. There's a lot happening every
weekend for those in that category.
Speaker 7 (22:07):
Exactly so for the guys I'm assuming for the most
part on this one is a tri state fishing and
outdoor show. It's getting ready for your hunting season with
over four vendors selling all your needs for that. And
that is Saturday nine to six and setday nine to
four at the Lawrenceburg Event Center. And then I was
looking for something to kind of talk about the brew tours.
(22:28):
There's so many of these brew and food tours. I say,
explore your city. You know, we think we bligh our
whole lives and we know what's going on. Every time
I do these tours, I learn something new, for sure.
So this brew tour that starts on Filey Market and
it hits the road exploring the evolutions of brewing industry
in our area, which is such a big thing. And
then you ended a tap room somewhere drinking some pints
(22:49):
with your new friends in the group, I'm sure. And
they'se always Saturday at three, So you can go to
Filly Market, find that brew tour sign and just google around.
They have all different tours for those brew tours. Really fun.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
So is this the kind of thing where when I
hear tour, you know, I'm thinking I'm walking around with
a bunch of people and you have somebody leading the
tour and kind of walking you through the different things
in the history of the industry.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
That kind of thing.
Speaker 7 (23:13):
Yes, And they're usually small groups. But I tell you,
I have two of my neighbors in my building who
are the tour guides for the food tours, and I've
done it with them and it's they don't just talk
about the beer. They're talking about the buildings in OTR
and downtown a hole. You learn so much. You can
answer them questions and they feel like they know everything.
It's really great. I love it.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
That sounds really cool because there is so much history
to so many of those buildings down there. And yeah,
that sounds awesome. I'm gonna say this speed thing, speed
dating thing for last tell me about Bingo Loco.
Speaker 7 (23:46):
Okay, we have Bingo Loco and this is I did
this last year at Bogarts and this is hilarious. It's
a huge It's some of music, you know. I say,
this is the big girls and I'm out. This is
five thirty on Saturday. They do. They have like the
glow sticks. They play music. You're trying to figure it out,
but it's every era. So everybody's kind of cheating because
(24:06):
I was asking the young girls at the end of
our table. They're playing EDM music. I don't know singing
this they went, but they're looking at us for other music.
It was kind of funny because everybody's kind of teaming
up to try to figure it out. But they do
a lot of giveaways and then they do these little
dance parties in between each one, and it is a
it's a definitely a funny night for sure.
Speaker 6 (24:29):
Right.
Speaker 7 (24:29):
Also, there's also the after glow. We didn't talk about that,
the after glow at the zoo.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, please tell me about that.
Speaker 7 (24:37):
Yeah. So the last adult night event after glow, which
is you can explore. They still have the lights up
so you can explore all of that, you know, child free,
so there's specialty cocktails, snacks, and these interactive photo areas
and the animals will be out. So this is a
you know, no kids around enjoying. It's eighteen and up
from that one. So God is a good one.
Speaker 3 (24:58):
I love that Right now, I want to get to
this other one because this is something I don't know
anything about. I don't know if I ever would want
to know anything about it, but I do find it
interesting now. I find this kind of stuff really interesting.
I bring this up because, you know, there are a
lot of people these days who are single, and you know, look,
(25:19):
they may not be looking for the love of their life,
but they certainly would like to be able to spend
some time with someone in a dating environment. Someone maybe
they can have some shared common sort of things with. Right,
And so this speed dating and matchmaking event. Talk about
the event, and I want to ask you what you
(25:39):
know about this kind of thing in general?
Speaker 7 (25:42):
Okay, Well I don't know much about this because my
age cutoff is a little couple of years younger than me. Okay,
so yeah, So they do these all around town, these
singles events, And this one is for ages twenty six
through forty five, and it's at the gather All, which
is the Norwood Factory fifty two food hall. And this
(26:05):
is tonight. It's to eight. But you you know, you
match up. I think they said you get four or
five five minute dates.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
All right, So let me stop for a second.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
So from what you know about and I understand you
said you may not know a lot about this one
in particular, Yeah, but generally on this kind of thing,
would this be the kind of thing where you fill
something out ahead of time, so then when you get there,
is that the way it works?
Speaker 7 (26:30):
I believe, So you kind of find some commonalities and
I think you match up. This is my thought on this,
and then you go have five minute conversations I think
it's five minutes or something like that to try to
get to know each other and then and then at
the end you're all there. So I guess if you
felt the connection or you kind of like someone, maybe
that's the time you go over and then talk a
(26:51):
little longer.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
Well, you know, I mean, i'd say, really good idea.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
I do too.
Speaker 7 (26:56):
I mean, they need one for one that's a little
more than forty five about other single people out there.
But I think it is a good idea because some
people are just not comfortable. The dating apps are terrible,
are they really? And so they're oh, Tom, I can
send you some pictures I did for my friends and
I it's more of an entertaining you to send each
other hilarious pictures of.
Speaker 3 (27:17):
People that well, I mean, you know, I bring I
bring that up because for example, now, like my father
in law, Okay, my in laws were married for thirty
something years, right, and they split up, and then Polly
and I, my wife and I went out to Arizona
to see my father in law. Were sitting there at
dinner and he starts asking us about these different apps
(27:37):
and dating websites, which he had signed up for. He's
a seventy year old man, but he's really fit and
he looks good and you know, he's with it and
all these kinds of things.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
And I'm sitting there going you have got to be
kidding me.
Speaker 7 (27:50):
Yes, yes, it's it's interesting and entertaining, but very rarely,
is it. Okay, yeah, okay, but some of my friends
have luck. It's just it's it's you know, it's a match.
And I would love to start a business in helpskuy
take pictures for the websites as well. It is that
they don't realize they're capturing a whole bathroom in the
(28:11):
background and it looks terrible and it's funny. Yeah, well
I was in Greece in Italy. Those guys know how
to take some pictures.
Speaker 3 (28:19):
I'm sure they do. And we'll save that for another
topic sometimes. Yeah, Michelle, thanks as always for your time.
It's great having you back. Happy New Year, and I'll
look forward to catching up with you again next week.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
Have a great weekend, all right you two. Tom all right,
thank you.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
Let's check the roadways one more time and see how
things are going.
Speaker 8 (28:37):
Chuck, Yes, sir from the UC Health Tramphing Center. You
see health Weight Loss Center offer surgical and medical Obcity
Caaren expertise called five on three nine three nine two
two sixty three. That's nine three nine two two six three.
Roadways are getting better. One exception, new accident that's on
Cold Ring at the eastbound two seventy five ramp. Southbound
(28:58):
seventy five delayed. I'm right about the five minute mark.
Everything else you'll just need an extra minute or two,
like northbound seventy five, Buttermilk to Dixie and in Bend
seventy four approaching seventy five. Chuck Ingram News Radio seven
hundred waw.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
YWCPO nine First Warning Forecast present of our buddy Jennifer
catch Marks. Gonna be a nice day today. Yeah, it'll
be overcasting. Yes, there's a very slight chance of a
shower sometime between two and four o'clock today, nothing major
at all. We are getting up to sixty two degrees
tonight again, some spotty showers, low of only fifty five tomorrow.
(29:34):
The showers will stop once we get through some of
the early morning hours. It'll be overcast the rest of
the day. Sixty five degrees are high tomorrow. Then tomorrow
night widespread rain arrives and that will continue into Saturday morning.
Our low Friday night is fifty, so if you're going out,
it'll be you know, pretty good temperature wise. It just
(29:57):
might rain, and then Saturday morning the showers will stop again.
It'll be dry. In the afternoon, we're up to about
fifty two degrees. But then, my, oh my, do things
change quickly because Saturday night a cold front comes rolling
through the tri State and we are looking at a
(30:17):
high after being fifty eight sixty sixty five, we are
looking at a high on Sunday in the thirties with
wind chills in the twenties. Mercy, we always remind you,
if it's in your heart, go find a shelter pet today,
(30:39):
a dog or a cat. Give them a second chance,
and you know what, they might give you a second chance,
lots more love, lots more health, lots more happiness in
your home.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
By bringing one home.
Speaker 3 (30:52):
We'll see you tomorrow, eight fifty five on seven hundred WLW, Cincinnati,
Money Money.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Here's a little something that could help your money grow.
This is the Bloomberg moneymnutte on seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 3 (00:09):
Are we saying good morning to Denise Pellegrini at our
Bloomberg newsroom in New York City. Here comes chat GPT
Health Denise to help you and me to manage things
if you will.
Speaker 4 (00:23):
Yeah, that's what they say. Open Ai is introducing chat
GPT Health. It's feature that will allow users like you
and me to analyze medical test results, also prepare for
doctor's appointments, and seek guidance on things like your diet
and your workout routine. It could connect with electronic medical
(00:44):
records as well, also with wearable devices and wellness apps.
And they say it's intended to provide useful health and
fitness information but stop short of making formal diagnoses. And
they're also stress it's designed to supplement, not replace the
judgment of doctors.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
Right, And yeah, I've been a lot of news lately
about suicide teens and and things like that. With chat GPT,
I mean, it's a fine line there.
Speaker 4 (01:12):
It's horrible. And also they're trying to wall off health
conversations from other parts of the app. Uh, that's an
enhanced privacy feature because that's a concern as well. Sure,
you know you put all your information on chat GPT.
Chat GPT benefits from having all that information. That's what
it does. Sucks up all this information and markets it
(01:35):
in various forms. So it's all very interesting. I mean,
some of these apps, these health apps are amazing.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Yeah, they really are, I mean, and it's all the
rage for a lot of people these days. We talk
about that regularly here on Tuesdays with Julieusfording. Meanwhile, driverless
vehicle plans. Ford has plans for that.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
Yeah, and Ford, which has a lot of operations in
your neck of the woods, is talking about debuting technology
within a couple of years that will allow drivers to
take their eyes off the road, and that, when you
think about it, could lead the automaker into the robotaxi business.
Speaker 5 (02:12):
Right.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
Ford's Blue Cruise driver assist feature does currently allow you
to take your hands off the wheel, but you got
to keep those eyes on the road under the current model.
The new version allows drivers to look away though. That'll
debut in Ford's forthcoming thirty thousand dollars all electric small
pickup truck platform. When we get that maybe in a
(02:32):
couple of years, Okay. And our futures this morning, Denise, Yes,
stock futures are lower, down futures down one seventy eight
s and P futures down twelve, Nasdaq futures down sixty five.
We did have a report about job creation showing, you know,
not as many firings and maybe more hirings than the
trend was for twenty twenty five. So that's a good
(02:53):
solid start if you're looking at an economic indicator. But
at the same time, you know, the job market's too good,
the Fed might not cut interest rates, So maybe that's
contributing a little bit to the negative tone with the
futures today. And also that whole thing with the President
Trump and the housing market and blocking large investors from
(03:14):
buying homes, and also the whole defense constructer thing, which
has defense stocks themselves higher right now because they're anticipating
higher spending. But still just a lot of uncertainty about
what the President might say today. From Bloomberg. I'm Tenise
Pellgreny News Radio seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
Eight eleven here on the Morning Show on seven hundred WLW.
We do this every single Thursday at this time we
get together. You hear him on better than two hundred
and seventy five stations syndicated nationwide, and we're happy that
his home Nase is right here in the Buckeye State
and Centinnati, Ohio. Talking about our friend Gary Sullivan. Happy
(03:55):
New Year, my friend.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Well, a happy new Year to you. Tom.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
How you doing doing great? I'm doing really really well.
I hope your holiday went well.
Speaker 5 (04:03):
It went great.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Do you have a lot of family time?
Speaker 3 (04:05):
I sure did and it was a fantastic Hope you
did too, Yep, sure did. Okay, we've been talking and
a lot of people talk all the time about New
Year's resolutions, right, and we were talking the other day
that seventy nine percent of those has to do with
people getting in better physical shape.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Yeah, right, A lot about health right now, Yes it is.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
But look, there's also some New Year's resolutions you can
have with your home. And as you talk about regularly,
there is no bigger investment for most of us out
there than what we invest in our homes, and so
you want to keep them in tip top shape. Let's
start with the most basic thing we need in life
besides air, and that would be water.
Speaker 5 (04:49):
Well, that ties into the health thing. Also, Tom is
you know in a lot of parts, and it's been
in the news over the years, you know, a number
of years back with flint Michigan and everything. How safe
is our water? And I want to say upfront, some
of the most safe water in the United States is
right here in the Grader six set area. It's wonderful water,
(05:12):
but it's very hard water. Lots of limestone, you know,
limestone's good for racehorses and bourbon. That's so good for
our home. Okay, yeah, you're right about that. Okay.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
We hear all the time about water softeners, right, and
there are some that you salt, there are some that don't.
Could you walk us through sort of the differences if
you're thinking about a water softener here in twenty twenty six, yep.
Speaker 5 (05:40):
So there's three water quality products out there. There's salt
free water softeners. You may have heard it advertise. That's
very appealing to somebody that doesn't want to carry fifty
pounds bags of salt down into the basement.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Which I do all the time, so do I.
Speaker 5 (05:58):
And also there's parts of the country now that have
brine restrictions in other words, that salt flushes out the system. Okay,
when it collects hard water deposits, and that brine goes
down into the sewerage system which goes into the waterways.
And there's some people different parts of the country now.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Have some brain restrictions.
Speaker 5 (06:17):
So that's one and I'll explain the difference between the two.
And the other one is the one you and I
are used to, the water softener that you put the
salt in the big salt tube and away you go. Now,
the whole thing what a water softener is is it
takes out or eliminates hard water, that's the minerals in
(06:42):
the water. So the salt free is not really a
water softener, so it's not really taking out hard water deposits.
What it's doing is the sult free softeners actually removed
the They they change the molecular structure of the minerals
(07:03):
in the water, which allows it to pass through you know,
your water heater, your shower and everything. And what they've
done is they've charged the hard water particles so that
it does not stick on metal surfaces. The salt free
or that's the salt free the salt type, it starts
(07:25):
kind of collecting those Okay, it's not really chargingm So
when you put the salt in there, it's really removing
the hard ware depositives. It's really the best soft water.
It's actually giving you soft water, good for your skin,
good for your clothes, good for your water here, good
for your showers. It's soft water. It's removing it, and
(07:48):
then the salt flushes it out of the system. A
lot of people when they get salt in a system,
they're afraid that they're going to be ingesting salt.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
It's not.
Speaker 5 (07:59):
That's going down the i'll say, sewer, septic whatever. It's
kind of removing it. It allows the soap to lather better.
It really is eliminating the hard water. And again that's
salt free. It's just charging the particles in there. It's
keeping the hard water from sticking on glass, on metal.
It's just allowing that hard water to not adhere to
(08:25):
something in your plumbing system. It's going right down the drain,
but you don't get the benefits of the i'll say
good for your skin, good for your clothes, your hair, Yeah,
that type of thing. So that's the two main differences.
Then there's a third one, and it's not a water softener,
(08:45):
and that's a product. A lot of people get very confused.
They think of a water softener is really bringing up the
quality of water, and it is from a hardness standpoint.
But a reverse osmosis, I don't know if you have
one of those in your home or not. Those are
usually a point of use, like underneath the kitchen sink
(09:06):
or in the bathroom. And what it does is a
company will come and they will test for chemicals in
your water. Like I said, in the Cincinnati area, we
got pretty good water. But you may be surprised. There
may be maybe you're someone that doesn't want fluoride in
your water. Maybe in older areas you have a lot
(09:28):
of lead pipes. It'll test for lead. You know you're
receiving good water, but then as it goes through an
old plumbing system, by the time you drink it, it's
not so good. So they'll test for lead, they'll test
for fluoride, they'll test for chlorine chlorine. And that's what
a reverse osmosis is. It goes through like three if
(09:49):
you install one, it'll go through like three sets of
filter and it'll actually filter out those different chemicals that
are in your water. So that's totally different from the
water softener. So there's really two that you need to
pay attention to. One is the water softener that's for hardness,
like over in the Milford area.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Very very hard water.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
A lot of heating elements go out because of the
hard water, and probably a lot of showers don't look
so good because of the hard water. But get your
water tests and just see how hard it is, and
when you're there, do a test on the actual chemicals
in the water, and then you can make a decision
if you want to do one nune or both of them.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
So it sounds like, correct me if I'm wrong here,
but it sounds like if you're really interested in the
healthiest possible water just in one particular area, and you're
talking about this reverse osmosis, that would really be the
focal point. It sounds like, if I hear what you're saying,
where you might clean food and all those kinds of
things would be in the kitchen right right.
Speaker 5 (10:55):
I would say probably ninety percent of them are put
right on the kitchen. Some of them have to have
another spout through a granite countertop. Yeah, a lot of
people don't like doing I think it was Culligan. About
seven eight years ago they came up with a system
where it's bluetooth. There's a switch and it literally shuts
(11:16):
the water supply going straight up from the pipes and
it sends it through the osmosis system and out the spout.
Bottom line there, not to confuse anybody, is you don't
have to drill through the countertop. Okay, so that, but
the kitchen area is certainly tom where you want to
put it, you know, And quite honestly, it's just like
(11:37):
a breta water filtering system on steroids.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
I want to get back to something you said a
minute ago about some of the stuff that would go
into say the sewage and then into some waterways. Most
people are on some kind of sewage system. There are
some of us who are septic. You touched on that
a minute. If you are someone who has a septic system,
(12:05):
does this stuff mess that up?
Speaker 5 (12:07):
Well, it's so diluted, I would say no. I mean,
it's not really a reason to totally walk away from
the salt type water softeners.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
But I also want to say.
Speaker 5 (12:20):
It depends on how much water you actually use. And
again that's why it's really good to work with somebody
to do those studies. Like I was in a home
depot the other day and they got a home water
softener for one thousand bucks on the shelf.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Install it yourself, but I.
Speaker 5 (12:40):
Really recommend working with a plumber or a professional where
they can really give you what's best for you. I
think that's what I want to give everybody a shout
out is, let's do it right. Let's address all the needs.
Let's address the chemicals, let's address the minerals. Let's address
how much water you're using. Let's dress how long that
water softener is gonna last.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
I've had both.
Speaker 5 (13:02):
In my home and the ones over the shelf, you're
probably gonna get about seven years out of just by
the mechanics of it, and maybe your better brands you
might get fifteen twenty years out of it, right, and
they're probably double the price. But I'll tell you when
I switched mine out, and this has probably been about
(13:23):
eight years ago, now I could instantly.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Tell the difference. There's no doubt there was a pig difference.
Speaker 5 (13:30):
So really, I think the step number one is if
you're always complaining that it's so hard to clean the shower,
there's water deposits, there's water spots on the glasses, on
the shower doors on this that get the water tested.
It doesn't it doesn't cost you anything. Just let's find
out what's in the water, and especially if you have
(13:51):
you know, you were talking like or I was talking
about over in the Milford area, right, very hard water.
But there's also some older century type holmes. And I
don't know what type of service line of water you
have coming into that home.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
I don't know what kind of pipes you have in
that home.
Speaker 5 (14:08):
And if there are lead pipes, and there's still plenty around,
you may have some lead in those pipes, not coming
from the municipality, but coming from your own realm exactly.
So let's find out what's in the water. It doesn't
mean everybody has to have one. We were talking about
New Year's resolution and healthy water. There it is. Let's
(14:29):
find out what's in the water. Let's do that, you know,
Let's find out what's in the water and take some action.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
If it's bad news, it's great stuff.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
Gary, you are the best my friend. Again, Happy New Year,
and thank you for your expertise. This is great stuff.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Thank you, Tom.
Speaker 5 (14:43):
Look forward to next week.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
Okay, Buddy Gary Sullivan. You can hear them on fifty
five KRC Saturday and Sundays from nine until noon, and
syndicated nationally on nearly three hundred radio stations across America. Alright,
let's check the roadways, Chuck. What's happening out there, sir?
Things are getting better. All delay times have dropped under
(15:05):
the ten minute mark. This from the UC Health Traffic
Center u see Health Weight Loss Center off for sergical
and medico obcitcaren expertise called five one three nine three
nine two two sixty three. That's nine three nine twenty
two sixty three southbound seventy one, just under the ten
minute delay mark. The break lights are continuing between Pfeifer
and Red Bank, with a broken down at the Reagan
(15:26):
Highway on the shoulder. Northbound seventy five is the other
one that's just under the ten minute delay mark. Between
Erlanger and downtown in Bend, seventy four still slows just
a bit above Montana southbound seventy five, heaviest through Lachlan.

First Warning fore Cast presented by our friend Jennifer ketch mark.
(15:49):
A little bit chilly out there, but not four long
overcast guys. Today we're up to sixty two degrees if
you can believe that, there's a chance for a very
spotty shower roughly between two and four o'clock this afternoon,
but don't get uptight about it. Tonight spotty showers again,
low down to fifty five. Tomorrow, those showers will hang
(16:12):
around in the morning and then stop by right around lunchtime,
and then we'll stay dry the rest of the day
and sixty five degrees if you can believe that tomorrow overnight.
Tomorrow night is when the most amount of rain should
come in widespread rain across the Try State. Are load
Tomorrow night fifty and then the showers again will be
(16:33):
around into Saturday morning, but again stopping and a dry afternoon.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
We're up to fifty two degrees.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
But then Saturday night, my oh my, do things change,
and I mean change in a hurry. Are high on
Sunday is going to be thirty four degrees and Jennifer
said that with the wind chill, it will feel like
it's in the twenties when you get out of bed
on Sunday morning. Coming up in about fifteen minutes. Hey Michelle,
(17:04):
to tell you what's going on in and around town
this weekend.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
This is seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Money money, money smell that fresh money news is being served.
This is the Bloomberg money bet on seven hundred wlw.
Speaker 6 (17:21):
This is a Bloomberg money minute. Shoppers are rushing to
spend store credits and gift cards at Sacks Fifth Avenue,
as a retailer is said to be heading toward a
potential bankruptcy restructuring. When a company files for Chapter eleven,
it's not automatically required to honor gift cards. SAX says
customers can shop, earn, and redeem benefits as usual. Turning
(17:42):
to trading, President Trump's plan to request an increase in
the military budget is giving a fresh boost to defense stocks. However,
futures are heading for a lower open pulled down by
tech shares, and Ford is planning a new driver assist
feature that will allow folks to take their eyes off
the road. Ford's Blue cruid Stem currently allows drivers to
take their hands off the wheel, but requires them to
(18:04):
focus on the road. The new version that allows drivers
to look away, will debut first on Ford's forthcoming thirty
thousand dollars all electric small pickup truck platform. Expect to
see this feature in twenty twenty eight, for it is
still determining how to price it. According to Donaho Bloomberg Radio, the.
Speaker 7 (18:28):
SINC ninety convention Center and at a lot of thirty
people are out there skating, so this is your time
to take advantage of open skate time. And it's a
fun little area, So go check that out.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
Yeah, I was amazed how cool that area look just
driving by it for the first time not too long ago.
And if you're wondering, that goes Monday through Wednesday three
to eight pm, then nine to ten Thursdays and Fridays,
and nine to eight on Sundays. And that's going through
the middle of February. And then what is this chip
(19:00):
cook off? For crying out long?
Speaker 7 (19:01):
I know, speaking my language, I made chilly everly weekend.
I should have like intered it should A family market
does this every year three to five on Saturday. It's
free to attend ten dollars to enter your chili and
then everyone can go around and sample it all. And
family is just a fun place to go with the family. Anyway,
there's something for everyone to nibble on and enjoy. So
that's a good family absent right now.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
That sounds like a lot of fun and Saturday it
should be by the time that gets going from three
to five pm on Saturday. We were talking about the
weather earlier. There might be some rain early Saturday morning,
but it should stop right around lunchtime, so that should
be about perfect. Okay, now we got the date night,
always a big night.
Speaker 7 (19:40):
Yeah, yeah, So Trey Kennedy is at the Task Saturday
eighties comedian actor singer bent around for a little bit,
funny guy. Everybody need is a little laughter, and I
feel like this is the weekend of tribute. I don't
know whether all the real well some of these people
are around anymore, but you know, really.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
Well, well, there's a debate about Elvis. There is debate,
that's true.
Speaker 7 (20:02):
There's a debate on this one Elvis. It's the tribute,
not him, but this at the Aaron Off. I went
to this last year because I have a son who
is a humongous Elvis fan, and it was very fun
and a lot of the women there did think it
was really him. I'll tell you that airon off Saturday
at seven thirty, and they have four of these impersonators
who hit every era of Elvis and it is really
(20:24):
really impressive.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
So it's nice.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
It's like a concert by Elvis impersonators, right, it is, yes, and.
Speaker 7 (20:31):
They really get into it and the women run up
to that stage like at him. My son looked at
me and said, they know it's not really him. Right,
It's pretty funny and we can jump to the I
have other tribute bands also as well, nailed out at
the same time. We've got ten which is the Pearl
Jam band. They play at Boguarts Friday at seven. And
then the Four Horsemen, which is a Metallica tribute band,
(20:51):
and they are with the Pretender which is the soop
Fier band and they are playing Saturday Boguards at seven.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
That sounds fun, that's the right.
Speaker 7 (21:01):
And then there's the World of Oddity's Expo. I've not
heard of this one, but they, in their own words say,
we're weird and bizarre are the norm. Uh. There's burlesqued performers,
tattoo artists, taxi ernie speakers and more at the Sharonville
Convention Center. That's Saturday eleven to seven. There's also the
Beatles Candlelight Tribute. These keep going on and they're so
(21:23):
popular and fun. But there's a string court tet playing
all Beatles music. And this is at Memorial Hall.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
At eight thirty on Saturday A lot you have you
ever been to that or this the first year they've
done it.
Speaker 8 (21:36):
I've been.
Speaker 7 (21:36):
I've been a couple of times, and I would go again.
It really isn't like the one that it's it's it's
really pretty. It's just a really cool atmosphere. It's a
great date situation. But check them out because they do
these to all kinds of music. Tailors Swift to the Beatles,
to whoever, and so find your favorite music and I
would go see it if you've never done it.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
Okay, all right, that sounds fun. Okay, now we get too.
If you're going out with a group of friends, single
not single, doesn't matter there. There's a lot happening every
weekend for those in that category.
Speaker 7 (22:07):
Exactly so for the guys I'm assuming for the most
part on this one is a tri state fishing and
outdoor show. It's getting ready for your hunting season with
over four vendors selling all your needs for that. And
that is Saturday nine to six and setday nine to
four at the Lawrenceburg Event Center. And then I was
looking for something to kind of talk about the brew tours.
(22:28):
There's so many of these brew and food tours. I say,
explore your city. You know, we think we bligh our
whole lives and we know what's going on. Every time
I do these tours, I learn something new, for sure.
So this brew tour that starts on Filey Market and
it hits the road exploring the evolutions of brewing industry
in our area, which is such a big thing. And
then you ended a tap room somewhere drinking some pints
(22:49):
with your new friends in the group, I'm sure. And
they'se always Saturday at three, So you can go to
Filly Market, find that brew tour sign and just google around.
They have all different tours for those brew tours. Really fun.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
So is this the kind of thing where when I
hear tour, you know, I'm thinking I'm walking around with
a bunch of people and you have somebody leading the
tour and kind of walking you through the different things
in the history of the industry.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
That kind of thing.
Speaker 7 (23:13):
Yes, And they're usually small groups. But I tell you,
I have two of my neighbors in my building who
are the tour guides for the food tours, and I've
done it with them and it's they don't just talk
about the beer. They're talking about the buildings in OTR
and downtown a hole. You learn so much. You can
answer them questions and they feel like they know everything.
It's really great. I love it.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
That sounds really cool because there is so much history
to so many of those buildings down there. And yeah,
that sounds awesome. I'm gonna say this speed thing, speed
dating thing for last tell me about Bingo Loco.
Speaker 7 (23:46):
Okay, we have Bingo Loco and this is I did
this last year at Bogarts and this is hilarious. It's
a huge It's some of music, you know. I say,
this is the big girls and I'm out. This is
five thirty on Saturday. They do. They have like the
glow sticks. They play music. You're trying to figure it out,
but it's every era. So everybody's kind of cheating because
(24:06):
I was asking the young girls at the end of
our table. They're playing EDM music. I don't know singing
this they went, but they're looking at us for other music.
It was kind of funny because everybody's kind of teaming
up to try to figure it out. But they do
a lot of giveaways and then they do these little
dance parties in between each one, and it is a
it's a definitely a funny night for sure.
Speaker 6 (24:29):
Right.
Speaker 7 (24:29):
Also, there's also the after glow. We didn't talk about that,
the after glow at the zoo.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, please tell me about that.
Speaker 7 (24:37):
Yeah. So the last adult night event after glow, which
is you can explore. They still have the lights up
so you can explore all of that, you know, child free,
so there's specialty cocktails, snacks, and these interactive photo areas
and the animals will be out. So this is a
you know, no kids around enjoying. It's eighteen and up
from that one. So God is a good one.
Speaker 3 (24:58):
I love that Right now, I want to get to
this other one because this is something I don't know
anything about. I don't know if I ever would want
to know anything about it, but I do find it
interesting now. I find this kind of stuff really interesting.
I bring this up because, you know, there are a
lot of people these days who are single, and you know, look,
(25:19):
they may not be looking for the love of their life,
but they certainly would like to be able to spend
some time with someone in a dating environment. Someone maybe
they can have some shared common sort of things with. Right,
And so this speed dating and matchmaking event. Talk about
the event, and I want to ask you what you
(25:39):
know about this kind of thing in general?
Speaker 7 (25:42):
Okay, Well I don't know much about this because my
age cutoff is a little couple of years younger than me. Okay,
so yeah, So they do these all around town, these
singles events, And this one is for ages twenty six
through forty five, and it's at the gather All, which
is the Norwood Factory fifty two food hall. And this
(26:05):
is tonight. It's to eight. But you you know, you
match up. I think they said you get four or
five five minute dates.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
All right, So let me stop for a second.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
So from what you know about and I understand you
said you may not know a lot about this one
in particular, Yeah, but generally on this kind of thing,
would this be the kind of thing where you fill
something out ahead of time, so then when you get there,
is that the way it works?
Speaker 7 (26:30):
I believe, So you kind of find some commonalities and
I think you match up. This is my thought on this,
and then you go have five minute conversations I think
it's five minutes or something like that to try to
get to know each other and then and then at
the end you're all there. So I guess if you
felt the connection or you kind of like someone, maybe
that's the time you go over and then talk a
(26:51):
little longer.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
Well, you know, I mean, i'd say, really good idea.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
I do too.
Speaker 7 (26:56):
I mean, they need one for one that's a little
more than forty five about other single people out there.
But I think it is a good idea because some
people are just not comfortable. The dating apps are terrible,
are they really? And so they're oh, Tom, I can
send you some pictures I did for my friends and
I it's more of an entertaining you to send each
other hilarious pictures of.
Speaker 3 (27:17):
People that well, I mean, you know, I bring I
bring that up because for example, now, like my father
in law, Okay, my in laws were married for thirty
something years, right, and they split up, and then Polly
and I, my wife and I went out to Arizona
to see my father in law. Were sitting there at
dinner and he starts asking us about these different apps
(27:37):
and dating websites, which he had signed up for. He's
a seventy year old man, but he's really fit and
he looks good and you know, he's with it and
all these kinds of things.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
And I'm sitting there going you have got to be
kidding me.
Speaker 7 (27:50):
Yes, yes, it's it's interesting and entertaining, but very rarely,
is it. Okay, yeah, okay, but some of my friends
have luck. It's just it's it's you know, it's a match.
And I would love to start a business in helpskuy
take pictures for the websites as well. It is that
they don't realize they're capturing a whole bathroom in the
(28:11):
background and it looks terrible and it's funny. Yeah, well
I was in Greece in Italy. Those guys know how
to take some pictures.
Speaker 3 (28:19):
I'm sure they do. And we'll save that for another
topic sometimes. Yeah, Michelle, thanks as always for your time.
It's great having you back. Happy New Year, and I'll
look forward to catching up with you again next week.
