The Deck Stephen Good Day Download with Doug and Jay Kirshner is made possible in
part by Kellatran, which is the safe way for you to lose weight and
keep it off, and also by Privigent keeping your Brain healthy. Monday on
the Good Day Programmed Doug Stephen with Jay Kirshner. The situation A couple of
things from Florida. I want to get to first though, because I'm going
to Minnesota, and because I've always liked Senator Klobaschar who is some of it
ran for president, remember Jay four years ago, she I think counted acquitted
herself. Well. Matter of fact, I wish she were running for president
this time run. I thought she was good. She's moderate, she is
pretty understanding, she's done a good job. People in Minnesota love her.
And so she's been in the news the last week or so because she's one
of the co sponsors of the A M for Every Vehicle Act, and so
she's been voicing her support for radio and newspaper and television and radio interviews,
and so that's she's influential. The reason that's where I bring it up.
But we think we fired yeah, and so you know, we've been talking
about this off and on what for pretty much the whole year, and yet
we lose What happens in the so called news cycle is that things come and
go as hot buttons. The real news in for example, Hawaii, is
that this whole rebuild is going to People are talking about how to do it
and when to do it, and the way to do it, you know,
that sort of thing, and it hasn't gotten the attention. You heard
me talking the last half hour about the fact that the fire that started over
the weekend was quickly contained and the way it was handled and that sort of
stuff. I expect they have, they have fires like that a lot,
but they now will get a lot of attention because of what happened. And
so just think about the fact, though that we've put that out of our
mind pretty much, what is going to be the nuts and bolts of moving
forward and how especially if people don't really understand that there are a number of
islands in the Hawaiian chain and that there are other islands that weren't impacted by
this at all, and yet tourism is off. Numbers of people should still
be able to go to Yeah, just that part down there, and that
that's the west side of the island. That's the only part that you wouldn't
be able to go to. The rest of it is all as normal as
usual, all right. So let's the situation in Florida. Couple of things
from down there. DeSantis has declared a state of emergency because there are thirty
three counties on the Gulf side that will be affected by this tropical system that's
banging its way into and around the Mexican side. The Yucatan Peninsula. Remember
this last weekend, Well, it wasn't the Yoka Tampa is that was the
other side of the Baja Peninsula. But it seems other nature is after peninsula's
this year. It's tropical depression ten strengthening a lot over the day yesterday and
so today and tomorrow. The Gulf coast, which is the inside, that's
the Tampa side, that's what they call, Yeah, the Panhandle up there
as a lot of different towns. It's not as populated as is the East
coast, but certainly Tampa and those areas. And I wonder if it's going
to go down as far as Naples and that's Fort Myers were Hurricane in demolished
so much, right, So anyway, the executive order places the storm or
hurricane River. It is making landfall there probably by this time tomorrow, and
there's gonna be a lot of rain, of wind, maybe a tornado or
two, because that's what happens when there's a hurricane. And hello, it's
September almost and that's when most of August September where most of the hurricanes take
place. So remember remember last year Hurricane Ian and what happened on the southwest
coast. As you were saying, yeahs and one hundred and fifty mile an
hour winds. Not fun. But again, that's what happens down there at
this time of year, and it has been for centuries, if not millennia.
That's the that's that that sort of barrel a half barrel from Corpus Christie
in the coast of Texas and up and around it creates there's a almost a
landlock there and so when the stuff goes and that's why you know, it's
all the way from Corpus Christian Galveston, around to New Orleans and Pascagoula,
Mississippi, and then across to what is the destined Florida and around down Tampa
and all the way down to Naples. That's the bucket if you will.
Let's see storm surge records seven six seven feet last year. I remember they're
pretty much shut down Orlando if that's in that Orlando is not that far in
Florida is not that wide. You can drive across on the Tammy Emmy Trail
Alligator Alley. You can go from Tampa to Orlando to the Space Coast in
two hours easy. It's not that it's not that wide. So that's why
once the storm comes across, it'll affect most of that part of Florida.
A lot of power outages is another thing that is so damnable this time of
year. We have all these storms and through the year, and the government
has never ever, ever made the power company's knuckle under We wouldn't have had
Maui. If the power lines were underground, we wouldn't have had the problem
we don't have. We wouldn't have anywhere. But because it would be too
expensive. In the text, the stockholders don't want to pay for it,
because it's cheaper to keep fixing the power lines that are above the ground.
And not only that, do you realize if you're close to those power lines
how much stuff they emit radiation wise, if you have a house that's close
to it. I remember once the reason I knew this is because there was
a farmer that I knew who had a large pasture and there was a huge
electrical you know, the lines, the main lines going across his pastures,
and his cows were getting sick and dying right and left. They had cancer.
They're all kinds, and nobody put two and two together for thirty or
forty years going out that the cows were getting exposed to the radiation from these
wires, from the electric wires, and it was killing them. Never mind,
can you imagine the quality of the milk that the cows gave and who's
drinking that? And yet we continue to bluster and fuster with this stuff.
I think this should be a law about that. If I were a king
of the world, there'd be a law fix that underground for all, Yes,
all for one and one for all. Anyway, Baton Rouge yesterday hit
triple digit for the thirtieth day in a row, the most one hundred three
or greater days in a single year down to that neglor was then it's always
so dug on humid down there, folks. I think we have a station
in Baton Rouge in that area, so you have our sympathy. I'm sure
there's a lot of ice. A lot of people are going through a lot
of ice. There's a new entity that's interested in the radio program. I've
been talking to people about, you know, perceptions of what people and I
don't know why I'm off on this at the moment. I just was thinking
about Bob Barker and his passing and some of the other people that were sort
of from his era. Regis Philman was somebody who was a contemporary of Bob
Barker's. They were friends. Regis went in a different direction, but he
was a He was a game show host. That's how he was. He
became the spokes of the announcer on it was it was Jared. What the
heck was the name of the guy who did that late night show? Now
I can't remember his name, but he became prominent when that took place,
and then he went on he did some game shows, then he sort of
became a host, and then he did Regis and Kathy Lee. So we've
been paid the ultimate soul beloved. Yeah, Well, spher Kelly Rippa to
join even just from the audience fan yeah, based because it was always Regis
and Kathy League. Yep. And by the way, somebody who's been listening
to this program, very influential fellow, described to your father that we sounded
like Regis and Kathy Lee. So I guess he thought I was Kathy Lee
and you were Regis. Sweet, I'll say again, cute. All right.
Let's see, speaking of Florida, this Jacksonville shooter. You see the
picture of the Dollar General store everywhere, and this is definitely, I would
say, a racist. It's a hate crime. Three people in this let's
see, they were all black. This guy, Ryan Christopher Paul Metter,
fired eleven rounds at one woman who's just sitting in her car. And what
the hell doesn't matter with people? This guy should be shot on site dead.
He should be dead, wasn't he? I thought he was? They
captured him there from so many shootings this weekend. When I went to one
of the websites that I look at for news, and the out of the
top ten stories and the one side column, eight of them were shooting.
When do we what are we doing to ourselves? This shoot? What the
hell is there about some white guy who doesn't like black people? What's his
hatred? Why is he a racist? What's happened? Who taught him to
be that way? Because he didn't come out of the room that way and
come out no, h disgusting ideology of hate, that's what it is.
And this guy had a manifesto, he'd written in his diary. What he
needed to do was kind of kill him all he's a madman at twenty one.
How do you get that crazy unless you were brought up around it.
Mental health legislation doesn't seem to be moving, you know, there have been
some things that have been passed supposedly dealing with this stuff. But we are
a sick, sick country. If we can't deal with this or habit,
dealt with or do intelligently this senseless violence, we are going to become a
second rate country because this stuff doesn't go on. It can't go on,
and in a progressive, first world country. So you see the picture of
him going in there's a enough video of him going into this shop. Anyway,
he didn't shoot any white people. He would shoot black people. Well,
apparently he tried to go to a university. Edward Waters university, historically
black university, and he was turned away by campus authorities because he refused to
identify himself with an on campus security officer and it was turned away. So
who knows if that was his original intended location. And then you have the
usual people are handwringing and all the talk. It's all the same all the
time. This is a predominantly black neighborhood of Jacksonville, by the way,
where the Dollar General store is called Newtown. And yeah, this kid who
came from the next county over, Clay County. Apparently it was his father
who alerted the police the share his father. Yeah, oh he was involved.
Angry kid beat up his family. Apparently he had a seventy two hour
mental health examination after that. And so where did you get these guns?
These two guns, where do you get them? The clock? And they
are laly in June. Uh So that system is for COCTA for sure,
because no way this guy should have ever had a gun, ever, ever,
ever had a gun. Disgusting. Over the weekend, a lot of
people were saddened, including yours truly, with the news the passing of Bob
Barker, who had been the host of the Prices Right for what thirty five
forty years, mainstay for daytime television and a well known not only well known
for the prices. Right before that, he did a show called Truth or
Consequences, which I'm surprised somebody hasn't revived anyway. He retired about ten maybe
fifteen years ago. He did this until he was in his eighties, though
I remember that eighty five. I think The Price is Right was his long
time the hanging of the hat there, but he very involved in animal rights.
I'd forgotten he did the parades. I do remember when he stopped dyeing
his hair. Oh, he had a standing ovation was at the middle late
eighties, and he came out and the crowd went wild for him. I
love that he was asked to host the Daytime Emmys and what was it,
I believe nineties. I've been ninety six, ninety seven. He turned it
down because he felt like game shows got snubbed. It's a something that people
love for enduring daytime television. It's a staple, and yet there was no
category. And then two years later they gave him, they honored him with
this big Lifetime Achievement award. And he's still signed off with his acceptance speech
with the whole have your pet spade and neutered. Yeah. So there was
just something about him. It was warm and loving. He and Betty White
were great, great friends, and I remember reading about how sad he was
when Betty White died. They had that they certainly the television stuff they had
in comme, but also their animal rights activities. So Bob Barker passes away
at the age of ninety nine. I'm Doug Stephan. You probably figured that
because Jay's voice doesn't sound like mine. She sounds like Jay Kirshner, Right,
Jay, you don't want to sound like me, and I don't want
to sound like you, you know, Cutie Bie. No, anyway,
that's Jennifer. She's not supposed to sound like me either. I don't think
I do. Do I sometimes? No? Yeah, I'm so confused.
Yeah, I think sometimes Jenne and I sound alike. Yeah, you do?
Really? That I think is true? Yes, huh. I think
there's a different tone in timber to your voice. Jennifer Horne is here with
Jay Kirshner. There are lots of people who are listening to this program who
come from different places, you know. There's I was looking at the over
the weekend what they call an audience composition report. So that sounds like you're
back in the third grade. Was it written in crayon lef Yeah? Well
loose leave binders? Oh yeah, did you like those? And you have?
I still love school supplies. They're so exciting. I love to smell
them. So how do you use them in the business? You and your
father have the CRN Digital Talks CRN in Los Angeles, So how do you
use them? You run the place pretty much. They don't get to use
like traditional school like I remember, and this is something for like eighties and
nineties kids like the Trapper Keeper, which was like this binder that had velcro
would open it had like a notebook and folders. Like I don't get to
use like those kind of school supplies so much. But crack and open a
new box of pens or pencils or new post it notes. That's always very
exciting at school is getting started? We can I d well, Yeah,
like even when I see the ads for school starting again, just walking down
the aisles in a Walmart or something, you know, just looking at all
the school spots exciting. All right, let's go back to Florida. We
were we've been talking. If you want to catch the Good Day Show dot
com, we have that. We have a loop that we way back the
show all day, every day, the whole program. You can listen to
do it anytime you want at Good Day Show dot com so you can hear
a previous conversation about what's going on in Florida. There was a vigil because
of the killings at the dollar store, and Dessandis was loudly booed as he
addressed this group. The governor. Now, whether these were mostly black people,
I don't know. It seems that's one of our one of our divides.
Uh, you know, white people and white supremacists support guys like Dessandis.
Is that too much of a generalization or is that it is okay?
I think so. I think it's just as racist. So then why why
then why do all of the why do the racist white people support? You
need to start talking Republicans. Well, I think we need to start talking
about people who were doing right and wrong. I mean, there was that
girl, Yeah, there was the girl who walked in the trans gender person
right that walked into that school. We've never heard a peep about her manifesto
and what she was doing there. But yeah, we hear everything anybody the
school. Yes, I've forgotten that one. Where is that nanasy? Yeah
natural? Yeah, okay, And we don't hear about that motivation. And
then we hear about the person who the white guy who targets black people in
a supermow. Well, we hear about that one, but we don't hear
about the black person at target is. But what do we want We don't.
What I want to do is talk about what is right and want wrong,
and what's wrong is to walk into anything for any reason and shoot people
down. But we constantly, we constantly say well it's okay because that victim
was really stressed. In some situations and other ones we say well it's right,
supremise. I mean, it is okay because we hide and we hide
the reasoning for people doing these crimes. I mean, I see it in
LA all the time. We say that the criminals are not really the criminals
because they are coming from a from systemic racism, or they're coming from a
system that this guy obviously he was a racist. No, I'm just saying
in general, I want us to just start striking down on what's right and
wrong instead of you know what I mean, Like it's just I'm yeah,
oh it freaks me out. It's always wrong when someone walks in an opens
fire on somebody. But again, it's like we're playing sides for who we
like, in disgusting sides, like making excuses and there's just no excuse.
You're totally right, gen, Yeah, we are. We are making a
lot of the we're making a lot of excuses for these people. The fellow
was known as the BTK killer. His name is Dennis Raider. I think
that's how you pronounce his name. He's been named as the prime suspect and
a couple of unsolved murders in Oklahoma. And so this guy, they went
out to his property and they found a lot of things. This is what
made him, you know, from people who've been missing since nineteen seventy six,
what makes somebody like this? And they it wasn't a lot of I'm
trying to remember back to that time or two, as you're suggesting, Jennifer,
lots of other circumstances. Uh. This guy's in jail now for a
number of what twelve life sentences because he was convicted of killing some other people,
So this guy's obviously a madman. Whenever I see some of I guess
all they can think of is how people thought that the that the what was
the name of the of the movie that Jody Foster silence lamps. Yeah,
yeah, I mean people thought that was extraordinarily entertaining. What the hell is
entertaining about somebody chopping up a body and eating somebody's flesh. Well, I
thought the movie was good. Like the way the movie is made, the
content can be like, oh, I'm not going to watch that, but
I don't know. But isn't that something It gives people ideas? Doesn't all
this violence? I saw two movies over the weekend. One of them was
the Liam Neeson movie that it was quite violent, frankly an interesting story.
And then I went to see Golden and like the contrast and the stories.
I mean, they were both interesting stories. The story about gold is a
real story and it was well told, and certainly Helen Marrin did a great
job. All the way around is a woman who's never smoked in her life,
and she chained smoked through the whole movie. That's part of the subtext
of the movie. If you haven't seen it or any ready reviews. But
you know, anyway, I'm off the well just to get back to this
the story for a second. There is no doubt this guy is a racist
jerk. But when the first thing that we bring into the conversation is Ronda
Santis. As much as I'm not a fan at this moment of Ronda Santis,
this has nothing to do with him. It's nothing to do with him.
It has to do with the bad guys. Well, but we are
doing him right. But so why are black people tuned in if you will,
or why are they turning to as the guy opens his mouth because they
don't like him, because they think he's a racist. They boo him before
even really says anything. You know, I was watching and Jay you'll appreciate
this, probably because you followed this probably close to anybody else here. But
the Amber Heard and Johnny Depp documentary that's on Netflix. I watched it this
weekend and it was interesting. I thought it was going to be more about
their story, but it was actually about how the media covered the story.
And at the very end it was like it was an okay documentaries all right,
I can't say it was great, but at the very end, they
said something so poignant, and that is that we get our news now based
on people we like. And it's true. There's no truth anymore. There's
just none. And it happens to everyone, happens to me, it happens
to you, and it happens to all of us. We get our news
based on people that we like, and that is such an unfortunate thing because
truth gets lost. Now, why these people were booing around the sand just
maybe it's because he's pro guns. Maybe it's because I don't know, I
don't know. He doesn't come across as the guy who's presented himself to be
racist by any stretch. But here we are in a place where we should
be focusing on the person who walked in with a gun and opened fire at
a Dollar General, and instead we're having a conversation about Ronda Santis. It's
just so misplaced. Individual. It should be honoring the victims and those lives
lost. You got it? Yeah? Now, is this because the national
stage is set, because the political temperature is as warm as it is,
and it's difficult. There's lightning striking on both sides, the Republican side,
the Democratic side. There were I saw something over the weekend about an argument
between Justices Alito and Kagan last summer. Apparently they clashed about decisions that were
made, and now this summer they're both out sort of on the road,
if you will, as to the ethics of what's going on with people in
the Supreme Court, like Aloto Alio. I always say a Leoto and Alito
and Clarence Thomas. The way that especially Clarence Thomas has been what other word
can I use for bribed by people who are giving him all kinds of gifts.
And apparently Alito has got some of these two and so the other side
is taking a dim view of it, as we all should take a dim
view of it. Frankly, I have Jennifer and I've had this conversation any
number of times. I think that Clarence Thomas is a disgrace, and I've
always thought he was since the very beginning, and now my racist because he's
black, And I'm saying that next thing, right, I don't know,
I mean, it looks don't feel that way about Clarence Thomas, but I
do think that we need to have stipulations of both Congress people anybody. It
seems like in power now uses their position to try to figure out how they
can get some free yeah, for themselves. So and this is everybody,
whether you're a Supreme Court justice or a member of Congress. It's like they
come in, you know, nice, simple, humble people. I mean,
maybe not Supreme courts as they're getting judged, they're already judges usually,
But I mean these members of Congress come from like owning a car dealership,
and then all of a sudden they've got working at a car dealership, and
then they have, you know, billions of dollars. So yeah, you
have to follow the money all exactly, all right, before we leave the
violence, pew Here a college student was shot in South Carolina after he went
into the wrong house. Here we go again. This is the same street
where he lived, and he was mistaken for a burglar, so he was
shot. Does that stand your what is that? What's that law standing ground?
Do they have that in South Carolina? Is that something that is part
of the This guy's a sophomore coming back to school. A tough one.
If someone's breaking into my house in the middle of the night, I don't
know if yeah, he entered yeah, he just entered the wrong house.
Well, what if it with this whole shoot first, ask questions later,
or even people just being as scared as they are that there is somebody there
to do wrong. What if it was a family member or a loved one
who came over and maybe you have an open door policy and you weren't thinking
and they just tried to and we're all scared. Now, have you ever
entered the wrong home or apartment unit, or even just the wrong car like
you think you're getting into a friend's car or ub or even just your car
and you weren't even paying attention. There's no tolerance in. Is that because
we've had too many of these episodes? Or is it because we're being whipped
in? I have I have entered the wrong thing new or you. I'm
that person. Okay, I'm not, but I still understand what the concern
is for sure. 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 your 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
un 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,
say used to, or they don't remember things as vividly as they once did.

Enunciate your words, please, so that you can come across as someone who
has credibility when you're always talking about you know, I had this car versation
from my son. This has nothing to do with social media. But when
I go off on a tangent for a second because he said something the other
night, he's usually very good with his grammar, because that was one of
the things. He's a great writer and has has, I guess, established
a stronghold on the King's English. So he said, Sophie, let's see
something, Sophie and him or something. But it was a pronoun that was
misplaced. So then we had the conversation about language and whatever. Why is
this socially acceptable? And why is that not socially acceptable? And because he
always he's great at throwing these things back in my face, he said,
you realize that when we refer to the King's English, it goes back to
the time when we were subservient to the King of England and were believe it
to him to come up something with something like that. And of course he
has a smile. Well you know, Brendon, he has a smile in
his face all the time. All right. Anyway, the Pope has warned
us. I heard that he was. It's a rumor that he is has
warned of the ills of social media. He says relationships have been reduced to
algorithms, and all of the partisan propaganda that's about of social media is bad.
You know, I don't usually pope very much on no, he's not
divisiveness. So is this the kind of leadership though that you I've I've said
many times about this pope that I thought he was a great leader until he
spoke nicely about Bernard laud at his funeral and I lost kind of my start
for him. But coming back around is something that's practical. Isn't somebody who's
the leader of the church. There's an obligation. It would seem to me
that they take a look at things like this and have something to say about
these things. Otherwise, what good is his leadership? People pay less and
less attention to the message of the church, even though the message is if
they're, you know, especially something open minded. I don't really like him
to get involved with political stuff so much because I think it just divides.
But this is a cultural thing so many of us are seeing. Yeah,
yeah, exactly, this isn't political, it's just it's It can be very
dehumanizing. And these algorithms of telling you what you should see, who whose
account you should see more, here's what we think you'll like, rather than
what you actually like. Oh you follow these people, well you might like
these accounts too, Rather than giving you more information of the people that are
actually in your life whom you also follow. Yeah, well so he's got
a solution. He's advocating for a culture of authentic encounter. Wow, what
a great phrase. I like that culture of authentic encounter. I'm gonna have
to leave the house, though, which it involves a radical call to respect
them, to listen to one another, including those with whom we disagree.
That's there. Send that to the Republicans and Democrats please, but that's true
too, Like whatever happened to agree to disagree or just hearing each other out
and then if you if you don't like what each other is saying, then
just move on with a conversation. And how many relationships, not just romantic
relationships, but relationships in journal have been lost over politics or yeah, especially
during the COVID vaccine or whatnot, where people are just like, oh you
feel this way, I feel this way. We can no longer even be
in each other's lives. Just leave that topic off the table. And if
that's all your friendship is based on is if you agree politically? What a
sad friendship that was? You know? Yeah, well I wasn't really was
never even a friendship. Yeah, it makes me so mad because, as
you know, I'm outnumbered where I live with my politics, and I've had
so many people do not want to be friends anymore because of it. It
makes me sad, being in being sad. We've posted the story of Bob

Tommy the k is here. I'll bet you don't have as many nuts
listening to your program as I have listening to mine. How about that?
I don't know. Man. Like I say, it takes one to no
one. But wow, you and me? But no, wait any minute,
you and I are friends? What's that say about you? There's a

to answer a question or two from people who are listening and give you some
direction on what can be a very helpful experience both the money Pit podcast and
Who's Letter, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. Tommy's here to serve. A
lady named Mary, listening to us down the streets for me needs some help
deterring squirrels from chewing on her deck. She says they've always been around,
but over the last couple of months, they've started to chew at her deck.
So what can we do to shoot him? What do we do after?
Very It's very simple, Doug, Mary needs to start training the squirrels,
that's right, or her dog to chase these squils. Well I'm half
kidding, but but what you need to do is to deter them, and
there are deterrence out there that can help. Now, of course, there's
always been the gadgety deterrence, right like, yeah, motion activated sprinklers,
head sprays and flashy lights and stuff like that. Yeah, he's too.
But what I've found with small animals is that repellents work and work well with
one with one really important clarification, and that is that once you start a
repellent sort of regimen, you have to keep doing it. So, for
example, in my yard last winter, the deer, who are not supposed
to eat the type of arborviety that we have called the green giant arborbody,
decide it was a tasty snack anyway, and they really started to damage it.
So I started in the spring spraying all the all the bushes and the
flowers, and we wanted to keep with a repellent. Now, we used
a product that's made by bob X b O b b e X, and
they make one for squirrels as well, and they're small animals. But the
idea here is that you need to spray it, and it's it's a repellent
that has a They tell me, I don't know a taste of cayenne pepper,
and it's sort of like I will say this. The first time I
sprayed the stuff, I did not wear a mask, and it was windy,
and I regretted it. Every other time my spraying gear includes a mask
and sunglasses speaking out of my face. But it works well. And the
thing is that you have to do it, in my case every two weeks,
so I just remember an other weekend I spray the plants. So I
think will happen Mary's If you spray the deck railings where they like to chube,
they're going to find that they no longer like your house and they're gonna
go find somebody else's deck rolling the tube. So there's something organic, not
poisonous, but it correct it repair. Yeah, okay, that's correct.
Yeah. I got the one that's it's a concentrate. So I mix up
a quarter of this with a gallon of wall with two gallons of water and
it works really great sprayer. But you can get it pre mixed, you
can get it with a spray, without spray or whatever. But the idea
here is that you put a repellent in. It trains them to stay away
because they no longer like the taste of the deck with I know some people
who have used gasoline or diesel fuels and really same thing. Yeah yeah,
not a good idea, but it repels everything will come that. No,
it's very dangerous. Yeah yeah, let a match around it. See you
later the Money Pit Podcast. As we get to labor day, oh boo,
end of summer projects, I'm gonna give you enough rope to hang yourself
because people don't want to admit that it's labor day and summer is guns there,
but they go ahead. What are we what are you looking at?
How are you helping people at some of these end of summer? What's the
typical end of summer project? Well, typical in the stummer project would be
to put away all of your summer toys, you know, the things that
you've been using all summer, your your your pool toys, your little pools,
all that sort of stuff, but find space. Bet we do a
lot of reorganization at the end of the summer because it's a seasonal shift,
right, So you want to get stuff in the garage and then you're gonna
be taking other stuff out of the garage, and so a lot of garage
organization, which, by the way, you know, garage garage organization is
super important because if you think about it, it's the only place in the
house where you have toys and toxins side by side, right, I mean,
you got pesticides and you know you got bicycles. So garage organization important
thing to tackle right now. Taking a look at your roof, making sure
you have no missing shingles from summer storms. Taking a look at storm windows
that have not been down for a while, make sure that those have not
cracked. Things like things like that, you know, asphalt driveways before we
start getting the sun and the forrest, look at the snow and the salt.
It's a good idea to repair, resurface or reseal you know, your
driveways. Those sorts of projects. Yeah, the weekend stuff, yeah right,
Wow, my driver is a little bigger than that. You know,
I've done, I've taken tea base and fixed part of the driveway at the
farm. And this summary worked out very well. Didn't have to asphalted,
just put the tea base the grindings from the road down, have the trucks
and stuff drive over them. They smooth it out and it's like it becomes
like asphalt. Yeah yeah, all right, Timmy the k from the Money
