Gary Sullivan online dot com, Ladies, tell me the one
the only mister Gary Sullivan.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Man, aren't you full of happiness? Is sign?
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Just trying to spread the word.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
Spread the word. The sun is out, I'm ready to
rock and roll. And I wake up this morning and
all I hear about is Duke Energy raising their prices
twenty five percent to perk kill a lot hour.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Twenty five percent.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
That's what's that. That's not doing it from du It's
just you know, in our area for people listening elsewhere
maybe you should worry, maybe you should not. I can't
tell you, but it's uh, the trend continues. Let's put
it that.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Way, you know, with a man of your age, and
I'm starting to you know, I'm right behind. Uh. It's
amazing the prices of everything that's gone up. It is
crazy's clearly going out to eat. Oh my, yeah, we
had an eight out an establishment right around over by
your house last night, and uh yeah, I can't believe
how they're meant. It's just like I just sat there
and went, you got to be kidding me.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Oh, let me ask you another question. Could you hear
in the restaurant?
Speaker 1 (01:41):
No?
Speaker 3 (01:42):
That was the other thing was like, I'm telling you,
is it noise?
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Does that just mean? Because I know, you know it's like.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Well, you know, it's about turning tables, but it's also
about design and so many restaurants. Boy, if you walk in,
you know, you got the LVT flooring, or you got
the ceramic tile or you know, hard surfaces, and then
what do you got on the ceiling? Got exposed duckwork, girders,
metal glass tiles I've seen and it's a big old
(02:14):
echo chamber.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
They had hung a wooden lattice work kind of a
thing up in there to try to break it a
little bit, because I was looking at it, but I
was thinking to myself, what else could I if I
manage this, what else would I do to try to
cut down the noise in here?
Speaker 3 (02:28):
It's about a billion things.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
But even if you took big old cloth drapes and
you know, started in the corners and around the perm room,
pulled them to the center and a big medallion in
the center where you you know, kind of have drapes
for the ceiling, Yeah, could look ornate and be a
sound killer. So you're turning tables, you're charging more money,
and they're still struggling, and it's not as much fun.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
You hit it on the head.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
And then I got to pay more money for my
air conditioning and heat, yeah, and everything else you and
everything else I do in that. So let's wind and
cramp a little bit today, huh. So that, mister Slivan,
is the reason why I'm trying to be as happy
as possible and spreading the word to stay positive, stay happy,
keep smiling good. So there you go.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
I'm proud of you, Thank you so much. I'm just
gonna keep anything.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Anything I can do to make you proud of me
or happy is my pleasure.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Well, so grow trees because of the ac you know,
that's one of the big things. In the summertime we've
been haven't had a great need to turn the air
conditioner on. In fact, it has not been on yet,
and that's great.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
I bet it has. I bet it has.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
Oh, when I had a service, they go there, you go,
and you're always looking to trip me up.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Just making sure because it has. Because well then people
listening to you would say, well, I thought Gary said
he had a you know, I know serviced.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
They'll say that line, Gary, that line. Now he's crying
that lion, old man oh alley. But yeah, shade around
the house that people don't give trees enough credit. You know,
the coatings industries hustling like crazy about radiant barrier paints
(04:13):
and ceramic paints to create cooler temperatures in your house.
You've been preaching that for what is it now, eight
hundred years or gay.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
You know, when people still in ron rothis it makes them.
He just doesn't get it. And I understand that folks
have arbistot to their home to take trees down. Yeah,
because they're tired of the leaves. Yeah, And it's like,
are you kidding me? For all the benefits, all the
other benefits, you know, and you can mow those leaves
back into the turf. I don't want to mess with them.
I don't want to mess with those leaves. It's like,
(04:42):
give me a break.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Well, I told somebody the other day we were talking
about the energy costs on the news. Came out. In fact,
it starts tomorrow, by the way, I think it us
a lot warning. Great, but you know, when you go
camping and it's in August and it's ninety three degrees,
you don't pitch your ten in an open field. You
put it in the woods.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
So that's what I've been doing wrong. No wonder we
couldn't stand inside that till everybody wound up sleeping outside.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
I mean, think about it, it's like twenty degrees cooler.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Oh yeah, So I don't know. I don't think we
can talk enough about taking care of our trees properly, pruning,
making sure they're healthy, yep, you know, because that's going
to keep your houses cool. Then we can talk about
the ventilation and the insulation.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
It's no different than maintaining your home. You know, in
your budget, you have a budget in that budget to
do things to maintain your home, and within your budget
should have things there to maintain your trees and evergreens
because evergreens are important in the winter time. Sure we're
redirecting the wind and things like that. So both of
those are key players and should in your budget be
something about a certified armists coming by every now and
(05:55):
then to check out your trees and evergreens to make
sure they're all good to go, right, just like you
went at home inspector whatever.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Yeah, how many times have we talked about your home
and outdoor living is an extension of your home. Same thing,
outdoor living, outdoor landscaping, that piece of property is all
your home.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Yeah, that's it, exactly, bring the indoors outdoors. So thanks
for the great Yeah, thanks for the great news about Duke.
By the way, I appreciate Youah, no problem. Yeah, So
what are you going to talk about today besides Duke?
Speaker 3 (06:23):
I think I might whine a little bit about that
I started reading. I didn't really you know, I'm curious
what people were going to do. I mean, you're not,
but you know, like outdoor lighting. You see all the
outdoor lighting. It's beautiful on homes, don't you.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Oh yeah, And a lot of.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Those things, I know they're led and they but they
burned twenty four hours. Do we need to do that?
Is there really much of a savings there? Biggest savings
is probably air conditioning and old appliances. They're energy hogs.
Newer appliances are about fifty percent more efficient than the
old stuff.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Yeah. And even if, like the new phrase is going
to cost you a fifteen hundred buck, yeah, in the
long run, that's gonna save you fifteen hand bucks and
probably quicker than you would imagine.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Last week we talked about battery operated lawnmowers, putting those
big batteries in charging them up here town. I don't
know what that costs either.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
That's a good point.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
We've got to do some work.
