you thinking, sweat get you results. How about them apples? Whoa And
by the way, the apple season is about to begin. With all the
rain that we've had, the apples are big and juicy and delicious, and
we're ready for that. Let's have a round of applause for the apples of
the world. You're going to you're about to get eaten. So there you
go. I don't mean there's something good stuff going on. So there's so
many apple picks like they pick your own apple orchards. Love those. Bring
your children to that, all right? So I guess all eyes. Here's
thoughts are on Hawaii. That ought to be where we placed the emphasis in
a conversation today. One of the things that has been very prom I've got
a call from a number of people because I've said this before. I'm a
partner in a radio station. If it's over in Kauai, and we're probably
going to have a couple of more in fairly short order. The essence of
what goes on though Kawai, the Hawaiian island Shane is a couple hundred miles
long. Kawaii is at one end, and the island that we're talking about
they get burnt to a crisp is at the other end. And we look
at the death toll the wildfires that have just decimated Lanai and that whole area
cooler Yeah, yeah, lahainah And I said, did I say Lai Lanai?
But it is one of those things where it is just it is devastating.
And Maui is what is it the big island obviously the big island.
Then Oahu and Maui are the other two bigger islands. Yes, rust are
small. So this is the west West Mauily the northern part of West Valley,
and there is just ninety three people according to the latest stats, the
deadliest in the US in more than one hundred years. This wildfire is had
no place to go but the ocean. Some of them couldn't move that fast
because there wasn't a well. There are a lot of questions. One of
them has to do with why the why didn't the signal? Why didn't their
system work, and that's something that they need to review and figure out the
how and the why of much of this. What sparked this blaze, There's
not a whole lot known, but certainly the winds there were very low hummunity
as there usually is on the islands, and high winds because of the ensuing
the impending or were the impending hurricane, and so Laha Lanaia most of the
even the island that took me until I went there a year and a half
ago for the first time to understand or to pronounce the island where the radio
station is. Anyway, there's a Banian tree like it's the one of I
believe it's one of the largest, if not the largest in the world that
is in kind of the heart of Lahinah. And it is burnt and it
is still standing well, and it still has some green leaves on it.
It's one of those just kind of yeah, yeah, the things that are
going on now. And I don't know whether this is Kucamonga stuff or whether
it is. And I mentioned and actually on Friday, I think with regard
to how these fires got set, because they were set and then the conditions
were right for them to spread, whether it's the work of people who are
really sick who are trying to move forward the global warming theory. Let's hope
that that's not the case, because this has this whole thing has managed to
ruin at one of the most beautiful places on the planet. There are a
lot of crazy people. That's only one theory. There are many other theories
that are floating around. Thousands and thousands and thousands of people have evacuated.
So was it a mix of land and atmospheric conditions, Because there is such
a thing jay as fire weather, and this fire weather is a combination of
things that have not necessarily come together the way. It's like the perfect storm
in a manner of speaking. The Coast Guard rescued seventeen people who jumped into
the harbor try and get away from the flames. And you've seen pictures of
Front Street, which is a very popular tourist destination. Many of you listening
you've probably been there watching the building on both sides. The street just burned
down in minute. There were no fire trucks. The fire department was overwhelmed,
as you can imagine, So you see four or five hundred cars on
the main street where people just jumped out of the cars and ran the water.
So the cars are all burned to crisp. And now when you think
about the other things that consequences of this, how many people have lost their
jobs because their businesses were burned. And you know, under the circumstances,
you wonder, how do you recover now that this is okay? So Maui
is a tourist place, so nobody, United American and Delta have all sent
over planes that were basically empty to get people out of there. I think
American and I saw on the American website they were sending normally. They used
their standard three twenty ones to go from the West coast cities too. I
think they have flights from San Francisco, Angeles and Phoenix. They go to
all the islands, and so they instead of sending the three twenty ones,
they sent Boeing seven eight sevens, which carry about twice as many people to
get them out of there. That's great, well, and there are more
wildfires. There's one in up country Maui, there's one happening in South Maui,
and then there's one on the Big Island. I believe the one on
the Big island is contained well a lot of on the coast. There are
certainly lots and lots of buildings there, lots and lots of apartments, condos,
self standing buildings that have been there for one hundred or two hundred years.
Just bingo. That's you know. The wildfires destroyed, if not all
of them, pretty much most of them, and all of that stuff we
see. I don't have to tell you what went on, but I do
want to talk about what is. There are a lot of echoes that are
coming about, whether conditions or there's global warming. Excuse me, there's a
drought. There was the hurricane off shore and excuse me, so is that?
What did it? It is a combination of all of those things.
Don't kid yourself. And I always find this on the other side of what
everybody you know thinks the world is coming to an end because it's changed.
The world is not coming to an end the way we live in It may
be going to change moderately or drastically, one or the other. Is this
just another example of how mother nature combines with the abuses that humans have created.
Because it's not all one, it's not all global warming. Buying an
electric car is not going to fix this. Well, global warming is happening,
there's no doubt about that. It's just the question of is it truly
all because of man's doings. Unlikely. Yeah, And as far as the
Westmalley wildfire, it's not been confirmed, but some experts are theorizing that it
was a down power line. M Well, that certainly, Yeah, that's
what happened with the fires in California where the power lines are failing because the
power companies. Excuse me for a second night, let me let me appear
it's gonna get You actually woke up with that like extra not congestion, but
that sinusy feeling. Yeah, that weird like pressure that just almost sends a
sore throat to your Yeah. Fortunately I don't have a sore throat. It
just as it is that but it's just the allergy stuff. So anyway,
there's been a lot of press conferences. Apparently forty thousand people have been flown
out of my Maui since the fire began. So that's fifteen thousand people a
day. Amazing, And well that's good because I was it gonna make their
work easier, and you know, in the meantime, how do they fix
the problem. You can be sure that you and I, mister and missus
taxpayer will come up with lots of federal money that'll go over there to help
rebuild the city. But will it have the same feel, Will it have
the same essence? You know what I mean? Does it have what it
takes? Of course, because the weather is the attraction, and certainly the
history is an attraction, history of the island. This is so it's sad.
Yeah, that wouldn't surprise. That's I hope that's more reason. I
don't you know, you got to find a reason for it. Jeff Bezos
and his wife to be have pledged to donate one hundred million dollars to the
Wildlife Relief the the he was, what do they do a thumbs up or
whatever? That is three hundred and thirty one fall. I don't you know
what? You can give the money. I'm not criticizing any of this,
as Katie Perry did some indkayling. I'm looking at all the people who have
pledged money or to do as something. The fact that Oprah made a donation,
you know what, it just it's there. She had she was there
handing out supplies and helping. Yeah, Yeah, she has her own plans.
She's got on a planet one over there. That's good, nothing wrong
with that. She's a resident of Mai. She has a place over there
too, right she almost time did she spend there? I'm not sure?
Part time away? So yes. And then there was this golfer whose name
is Colin Morikawa. I'm guessing he has roots over there. It says he's
going to donate thousand dollars for every birdie he makes this month in order to
raise money for the victims of the wildfire. So everybody's on it, Mane,
Liberty News and social media. Jay. So we have that to contend
with as it's trending. The story of Katherine McPhee. When was she the
winner of American Idol? Do you remember how long ago that was? That
is a good question. It was early ots maybe two thousand and five,
two thousand and six, six. Tired of that whole That show has been
around for like twenty one, twenty two years, and you've watched Ryan grow
up kind of on the program in a manner of speaking. Anyway, She's
married to David Foster. They got married about four years ago, and apparently
her family's nanny has died, and so she stopped what she was doing on
the road, as you might well expect, and then went to back home.
Where do they live? Yes, in California, I believe, but
yeah, yeah, So Kathy McFee and David Foster had been touring and an
Asian and the only thing they had actually said about the situation was Katherine McFee
said their family had experienced a horrible tragedy and one of them needed to get
back home to family, and so David was staying and going to continue with
the performances, Katherine was going home. And then sources pretty much made public
what was going on, that they're two year olds, nanny unexpectedly died.
Wow, devasty. Yeah, well, these things I don't want to be
cavalier about it. They happen. I don't know much about that, just
the story. It's something that attracts people's attention. Isn't it amazing how tragedy
attracts people's attention as much as it does? And it is. We all
have tragedy, we all have human we have good stuff going on with us
and bad stuff. So anyway, who's on this tour? Are there other
people that are with him? It's a combo tour or these people. I
honestly admit to not knowing much about Kathery McFee. When I saw it first,
I was thinking of Christy mcvee, who passed away earlier this year,
and I thought, Okay, what's this and then reading through the information,
I don't know again have are they able to the strong enough to go by
themselves or are they on the road with other performers? Is I think this
is their tour? I'm not sure if there are any opening acts or it's
just a small thing. David Foster is pretty significant in the music industry.
He's a musician, a composer, and a ranger. He's he's been around
for a long time. What are some of the hits? So some of
the songs that we all know from them? Oh, let's see. Uh.
Wildflower kind of comes to the top of my mind. Wild Flower That
was no Kansas, though, isn't it? I have nothing that was sung
by Whitney Houston. That's insanely post it today's thought. Dripping water, I
have a lot of us today, actually, j not unlike any other time.
Dripping water hollows out stone, not through force, but through persistence.
Look at the Grand Canyon, which is probably the best example in America of
that happening over millions and millions and millions, hundreds of millions of years.
In fact, the water persists. And another thing that's fabulous to think about,
well maybe it's a mind blower, is that there's no new water on
the planet. Water is not created. Water is there. It goes up,
it goes it's circulated, it goes back down again, it rains because
the water is absorbed by the system, the system that's created by the power
of some force that's a lot greater and smarter than we are, because we
can't figure out to keep it clean, the water and the air and all
of that good stuff. And you know the other side of that is sometimes
people think they hear me talking about global warming, and they think I disrespect
them and their points of view. No, but consider what has been created,
and it's maybe the American way, maybe it's the human way. The
business that's been created out of making things green or keeping things green, or
trying to clean up the atmosphere. Not saying it's bad, it's good,
but we could do a better job of just a little bit more conscious it
isn't that we have to have solar on our roofs. You know, it's
good. I'm going to do that on my farm. I'm going to do
it in my house. I'm going to do it because I think it makes
a lot of sense to get the energy from the source rather than having it
go through several different processes. The Sun is the origin of everything, all
energy, all power, all light, all life. That's the Sun.
But as the Earth has progressed over the years, imagine thinking about this.
Do you think this is an accident that the oil that we have used to
power our energy, whether it's an automobile, whether it's the whether it's the
gas, the electricity that we use all came from the power of things that
happened millions and millions, if not billions of years ago. And it's not.
Is it a coincidence? All these things just come together so that we
can pump that liquid into our cars. Somebody invented yeah, exactly. So
I was looking at What prompted me to talk about this day was the fact
that somebody's trying to sell me green roofs, and I don't when the guy
first approached me at the time, I'm all set. I said to him,
I've got solo. He says, no, No, I'm talking about
green roofs, really green roofs. This is something that was a custom a
long long time ago when people would build their house and they would put grass
on the roof. Oh that's a lot. That's a pretty prominent in a
lot of cities that have, yeah, that don't have a lot of granary
around, they'll be on the roofs, right, living roofs, they're called.
They combine plants and shelter. And so when you look at the architectural
creativity that we think, wow, this is happening now, it happened before.
And as you're suggesting, there are rooftop gardens all over the place,
and more and more of them will help to keep things clean and also help
you grow food that will be good instead of going down to the local fast
food joint needing garbola. Right, So you can retro fit old buildings.
That's something that happens the you know, the the urban sprawl as we ball
it, A lot of gardens are now at the heart of that. The
whole business of building new developments. I'm involved in a development here in my
community, and we are doing green, we're making we're building it's called an
agrohood, building it around a farm or working farm and three huge gardens that
will provide all the vegetables that are needed for the people who live in the
development. And it's just part of the price practical. I'm gonna trying to
be trendy. I'm trying to be practical. And so there's that too.
There's something else that's practical. I think, Frankly, Governor of Illinois,
Governor Printzker family involved in the Prinsker's own big hotel chain, and so the
members of the family, you know, they get involved in politics. People
a lot of money do that. So Prinsker signed a law banning firearms advertising
that is determined to produce a public safety threat, or if the ad appeals
to children, or if the ad appeals to militants or to anybody who might
use the weapons illegally. So this will give people who are affected by the
illegal use of firearms to sue the manufacturers and to sue the distributors. You
can be sure that the Second Amendment folks are going to be all over this.
I hope he's successful. Frankly, I hoped that it's called the Firearm
Industry Responsibility Act. All right, you got it. I I are a
firas anyway, and that's saying to ban firearms, non or anything. It's
just be marketed to kids and militants and anybody who else might obtain or use
weapons illegally. People who are you doing things by the book, who are
doing things legally, not going and using guns to shoot people. Act,
Yeah they're they're's still okay to do your thing, So you'll have nothing.
This has been carefully crafted so that those people who think this is an infringement
on their rights will lose because as you just explained, so well you can't.
This is something that's bullet proof. If you'll pardon the bad use of
the pun, it will not it'll it'll survive any test. I think hopefully
it goes to the Supreme Court. And even though some of those characters interpret
things in the political way rather than a legal way, I would think anyone
who supports the Second Amendment and is a gun like and yeah, this is
because it's these types of people that are giving them up there themselves about a
bad name. Yep, exactly, So you should be all over this to
support it. It's kind of like one of the other things. A lot
of parents are in behind this, But the other bill that's similar to it
is vaping. So the gun manufacturer is going to be held responsible for selling
guns to people who ought not to have them, like the vaping companies are
held accountable for selling that crap to oh yeah, children and yeahs, and
how it is advertised. Yeah, yeah, right, and it has been.
I think that's all done now. But it's good. Helps protect you
as a consumer, and it increases public safety, which is good for everybody.
The you know, the these companies. There are some companies that have
just been the curs They ought not to exist, and we all know how
bad gun Violet's been in Chicago. Every weekend, sixty forty fifty sixty people
get murdered. So they had to do something, it seems. He also
the governor signed a ban on semi automatic weapons earlier this year there that's in
court, but it seems to me, given what's going on there there,
do we need more laws that's always the question too, or do we just
enforce the ones that we have. One of the other things that I thought
was kind of chilling that happened over the weekend is you know, we review
things as we get started on Monday that happened over the weekend, and other
than the fire in Maui, which, by the way, the only lifeline
this is. This is something that has become very obvious to those of us
who in the radio business. This darkest hour for them, the wildfires.
The only thing that shined the radio the AM signals, because the FM signals
don't go as far as the AM signals do. The Pacific Media group,
I have some friends and I are involved in a radio station in Kauai,
but it's not it's two hundred miles from this. But I know Pacific Media
has a heart fractor. I think I'm on a couple of the stations they
have. They really own a lot of stations, and the wildfires have called
into question pretty much the entire early warning system that supposedly was so good over
there that completely one hundred percent failed. It was a complete with all the
rest of the disaster, it was a complete disaster. Nobody knew. I
saw one story about a guy who said the only reason I knew what was
going on is because I was driving into town. I saw this huge plume
of black smoke. So I figured something was going on and I turned around
and left. So, but the radio was a shining star. You got
those old transistor radios. Don't throw those puppies out. You can use your
phone. I guess too, right, can't you? Let's say, still
until the signal fails or everybody's trying to use it and you can't. The
statement goes back to the transistor radio is the only constant that will work as
long as you have functioning batteries in it. Yeah, yeah, all right.
So anyway, let's go back to Kansas for the raid and the newspaper,
the Marion County Record. A local business owner accused the newspaper of her
personal data. So this is something all of us. I have a couple
of local blogs here that I use. And because the news has changed,
the way we get information is online. It still can be in the form
of a newspaper, and it can be at a local instead of they have
a printed version, they have an online version. But this police department went
in. Somebody apparently found out that there they were being watched by the newspaper,
so the law went in. They were able to grab a computer file
and a server and phones and stuff, and they found all kinds of things
that, you know. The guy that runs a newspaper apparently is a city
council member as well, and he was just he was doing something that's very
not a little illegal, very illegal. So I guess you gotta watch out
something else to watch out for. I'm Greg I'm sixty eight years old.
I grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, major in business administration. I do
motivational speaking in addition to substitute teaching. Part of the reasons for my motivational
speaking is I kind of feel like I have a calling or giving back to
the younger generation. You know, the golden role is doing to others you'd
have them doing to you. My wife, Wanda, as a senior flight
attendance. She's been flying for over thirty years. We do laugh quite a
bit. I think most adults will start realizing that they don't recall things as
quickly a say, used to, or they don't remember things as vividly as
they once did. I've been taking privig in for about three years now.
People say to me periodical, man, you got a memory like an alpha.
It's really really helped me tremendously, providing healthier brain, better life.

All right, I want to I have a question, a moral whether it's
a moral dilemma or not. I'm pretty transparent. I think most of the
time people think I'm pretty transparent. You pretty much know what's going on in
my life. We talk about things that are from if you will, right
off the shoulder of frankness in my world counts and being consistent, so you'll
love the thought presses as how I got here. I'm doing the laundry.
The kids have gone home, got three weeks of laundry. I'm doing the
laundry, and I am getting towels out of the dryer, and I'm looking
at the towels, the all the colorful ones that I got when we were
running a lot of commercials from my pillow because they had towels and they had
slippers, the bad real they have good towels. So I'm thinking about what's
his face that runs my pillow, and all of the drag that he put
Lindel, all the drag he put on himself because of his focus on Trump,
and Jennifer will tell you, and I think to a point, I
guess I think I agree, not that I guess I do. I agree
that he was a victim of his own stuff, the same way Trump is.
But yet he was vilified and kind of screwed over all. Right,
Yeah, I mean the guy had a big drug problem. He writes about
it in his book. He comes out of it, he starts a company
in his in his garage. It becomes very successful. It's got fifteen hundred
employees. So how is that not, you know, a good example of
the American dream? What is politics? Are? It? Just? It
bothered me. So when we were talking with the folks at my pillow about
what to do, they all love him and they all think he's the greatest
things that slice But and that's appropriate. He worked for a guy who gives
you a paycheck, you should be loyal to him. But our sales I
don't know who used my pillow on cran the company you and your dad run,
Jennifer or not, But the sales were way off, and that particular
commercial is attached wherever you hear it, whether it's here or whether it's with
Hannity or on local stations. It's all tied to how much you sell,
how much you move. And so the number of the volume of units that
was selling went way way down when Lindau was in the middle of all of
this hot and heavy stuff, and so I stopped doing the commercial. It's
because they weren't really producing anything. And now I'm thinking to myself, did
I do him a disservice? I guess I'm second guessing myself to a point
as to whether or not how to go back to running commercials for my pillow
or not. I haven't really thought about it much until I was just folding
up the towels. Actually, well that's a good, good you know question.
But also do you like the products? You believe in the products?
Do you like the towels, Yeah, the towels are good. They have
great bathroom sheets, the slippers, everything gone from my pillow. I have
loved I have on my pillow pillow and I love it. It's yeah.
People are very much love. Yeah. I happen to love the my pillow.
Yeah, yeah, so I guess I'm just maybe we'll do this as
a social media question and see what people say. Facebook and Instagram has had
Good Day Radio show a lot of things. You can reflect on whatever you'd
like to. But I'm curious as to whether or not I know that this
audience because it's attached to a lot of stations that do a right of center
talk that many of the listeners age wise and attitude wise and otherwise, are
you know, to the right and I don't. I don't want God love
you without hesitation, right, yeah, without has right exactly without drop.
You have to be smart to listen to this show. Of course, that
would make sense. They're smart well at any rate. Whether you think I
should or I shouldn't, you just give me a heads up, her heads
down and based it on something other than emotion or the fact that you like
Trump and that Lindell is a like with anything if you like the products by
them, and if you don't, don't the same thing. Budweiser Boycott still
get a lot of drink it right all right? Now? You know,
talking about political problems, AOC apparently has a problem. I know you'll find
this hard to believe Jennifer, but she has found a solution to her problem.
Most people know what's Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, right. We haven't talked about
her much for a while. She seems to have been kind of quiet lately.
Anyway, So she has a sunscreen problem her. Her skin is apparently
very sensitive, and she says it's been a long time since the FDA approved
any new ingredients for use in sunscreen. That was twenty some odd years ago.
She says, we deserve better, So do well somebody who relies on
a lot of sunscreen and has sensitive skin. Yes, she says, we're
stuck in the nineties. My question is is this a job for Congress or
is this a job for some drug company? Anyway, have someone who knows
how to make sunscreen, probably, rather than let somebody in Congress. She
says that she and her husband have a sunscreen habit. They use it wherever
they go out. She puts the white cream on and yeah, yead,
apparently he's got a beard and I don't know whatever. Yeah, anyway,
So she's taken matters into her own hands. She has gone overseas to find
sunscreens that are manufactured abroad. So she went to it. How is it
Bora? Is that a browns A bi o r E is yeah, right,
she says. Apparently they have, along with a couple of Asian brands,
active ingredients that have not been approved for use in the United States.
She says the technology is very sophisticated. You don't feel like you have a
layer of sunscreen on paste it all over your face. Feels like you're putting
on moisturizer. This sounds like something that Congress should be all over. This
may be one of the few things they can figure out and actually do something
with. So is it something? Is sunscreen problem that should be brought to
the Congress of the United States. AOC says, yes, we should fix
it. She's looking around and makes reference to the suncare skincare habits of those
people in South Korea, for example, in Japan, everywhere else but here
right with a lot of those things, they are not cruelty for they are
tested on animals, and we're not talking lab rats and bunnies. We're talking
the goal puppies and it's awful. So is this something that we should do?
Does she have something? Is she onto something? Do we need new
sunscreen formulations. Do we need new protocols? There are lots of social media
comments, is this came out over the weekend about trying to find exciting new
products and innovations and why does we should do it herself? Look at how
many celebrities on beauty trends because they had something in mind. Money it didn't
exist, so they worked with scientists and ethical things that they could do it
themselves. But she could probably give the idea to someone like in a family
or whatever. You know, that's the key to living in Congress is to
have your right, have your family, buy your family, get your husband
going, you know. So, she says, Congress has begun a preliminary
early process of examining a better approval procedure. What it I look like for
the manufacturers of sunscreen to do the appropriate research and to bring to submit drug
information to the FDA. She also said, I think it's very important that
we maintain a level of rigor around safety. We want to make sure this
is not about advocating for the deregulation of these filters. So I haven't got
much shoes for her. I never had it. I just found when I
saw this, I thought, okay, here's a way to bring her back
into the conversation because she hasn't. I haven't mentioned her name. Jay,
how long has it been months and months and months since we've talked about AOC.
Yeah, anyway, So, but she had to bring Barack Obama into
the conversation because she referenced when Obama back in twenty fourteen signed the Sunscreen Innovation
Act si A right, Yeah, okay, listen, Yeah, it gave
the FDA five years to approve the use the new sunscreen ingredients. And guess
what, they haven't done a damn thing since then. What a shocker that
is? Wow? All right, So now there's a new Office of Legal
and Regulatory Affairs at the Personal Care Products Council, which is a trade group
that's looking into the claims from miss AOC. And so anyway, there's new
supposed the approval process, but again it has not been used. So what
does that tell you? There's no market for it? What does that actually
tell you? Thinking about in a market driven economy like the United States,
you would have thought this wouldn't if it was going to work, if it
was important that people thought we ought to have it, it would have been
something that was that was already in the process, right, Or is the
FDA is too hard ass? They don't look at stuff. I think the
FDA's corrupts could be like most of the other organizations, frankly in the federal
government. I just think it's corrupt. So all right, ladies, what
do you think. I'd say they're a little corrupt as well. Everybody's no,
I'm talking about we need a new sunscreen. Oh, a new sunscreen
is corrupt, but sure so more sunscreen's nice? We could we could,
we could maybe call it just AO screen. It's very good AO screen.
How about that? Do you think I should? Maybe I should trademark website.
You have to buy it from me for twenty five grand. All right,
here we are, folks, another new innovative idea. So it's great

need help. That's why Jay is here. Okay, So our listener John
says he has a small ranch style home going back to the sixties. When
he takes a shower, the hide or the cold water decreases and changes temperature.
He's had anything to do with the fact that house was building the sixties
seven. I think it's got something to do with something else, doesn't that.
No, it has very well made because yeah, you know, back
then we didn't have what's called a pressure balanced valve, and a pressure balanced
valve does just that. So if you think about it, and this has
happened to everybody, you know, you get in the shower and then somebody
somewhere to a cheap motel toilet or does something, and then the temperature changes
can either get you know, screaming hot or screaming cold. But it's uncomfortable,
and the reason that happens is because the volume of water the mix right
between hot and cold shifts. Well, what a pressure balance valve does is
it keeps the mix exactly where you set it, regardless of how much water
pressure is coming in hot or cold. So if one temperature goes down,
it brings the second one down equally, so it doesn't change. So while
the flow might change, it may become stronger or weaker, the temperature mix
is not going to change. So new valves today are all pressure balance valves.
But if you have a house that was built in the sixties to the
seventies and even into the eighties, you may find that you don't have that
kind of a shower valve, and that could be something you want to add
the next time you do some plumbing work around the house. Well, how
about that. That's a great idea. And I wasn't being pastious by going
to cheap hotels. A lot of times you get to joy, even some
expensive hotels I've been in last year or so. You turn on the water,
you set the temperature, you get in, and it either scalds you
or freezes you. Because is there doesn't this regulator you're explaining, Apparently they
don't have it. Right. One wonder is maybe the bigger the hotel,
more more pressure there is on the pressure. Well, it bothers me about
hotels. Is not so much the pressure, it's the it's the shower head.
They usually have crappy shower heads. Yeah, that that don't have the
flow and there's no reasons for that that you can have an efficient flower head.
Flower head, you can have an efficient shower head that that will still
give you a good shower without it just trickling out. Let's talk about all
the information that's available at moneypit dot com is very helpful. Here's a teaser
from the next episode of the money Pit podcast about how to make over your
kitchen? Can you do it yourself? Can you buy or you just put
new facing on cabinets? What do people do to not spend a lot of
money and make their kitchen look bad? Oh, there's a lot of things
that you can do. I mean, I wouldn't recommend refacing. It's a
big project and it's a complicated project. It's one that requires a lot of
carpentery skills. But for example, I had a house that I did a
kitchen and not too long ago, and you think, well, kitchens are
you know, twenty thirty forty fifty thousand dollars thug. I did this whole
kitchen for under five grand. Really, what I did was I tore out
the old cabinets and I used stock cabinets that were available from a home center.
And they looked pretty nice. You know. Look, they're not maybe
as durable and sturdy as as some one as that cost ten times that much,
but they were fine and the place looked good. And I changed the
kitchen. The countertop I changed, I changed the flooring. I painted it
at some lighting, you know, and it looks great. And like I
said, it cost me about a few thousand bucks. It didn't cost me
the big major bucks that a lot of people think you have to put into
a kitchen, So you don't have there's a whole top a river of kitchen
and bathroom contractors. They go out and they come into your house and look
around and yeah, we'll do that for ten thousand, and the bathroom is
thirty thousand. And you know, by the time the pricing is based on
the house, the restoration of your wallet, yeah exactly, that's had this
step get out you right, yeah, all right, So that's in the
