WEBVTT - Mornings with Thom Brennaman 1/15/2026 0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:04.960 Honeymore become a financial ninja. Your next lesson is about 0:00:05.040 --> 0:00:05.440 to begin. 0:00:06.480 --> 0:00:11.559 This is the Bloomberg Money Minute on seven hundred WLW. Alrighty, 0:00:11.600 --> 0:00:14.000 we say good morning once more to our friend Denise 0:00:14.040 --> 0:00:17.080 Pelagrini from the Bloomberg newsroom in New York City. 0:00:17.200 --> 0:00:17.800 Hershey. 0:00:17.880 --> 0:00:21.320 Everybody likes Hershey getting an ad makeover. 0:00:22.079 --> 0:00:24.360 Yeah, I mean, this is an iconic brand and you 0:00:24.440 --> 0:00:27.120 have to wonder why they would need a makeover because 0:00:27.240 --> 0:00:29.120 you don't even have to say what Hershey is and 0:00:29.200 --> 0:00:32.479 everybody knows, right. But now they are increasing their marketing 0:00:32.520 --> 0:00:36.440 budget reportedly for the brand by twenty percent, and this 0:00:36.520 --> 0:00:39.800 is for its first new ad campaign in almost a decade, 0:00:39.800 --> 0:00:42.440 according to the Wall Street Journal, which says the new 0:00:42.479 --> 0:00:46.839 effort will include streaming TV TikTok influencers, as well as 0:00:46.880 --> 0:00:50.080 what the report calls activity around big cultural events that 0:00:50.400 --> 0:00:53.360 could mean things like the Olympics. Hershey is trying to 0:00:53.360 --> 0:00:57.800 get people to buy more candy outside the seasonal holidays Halloween, Christmas, Easter, 0:00:58.360 --> 0:01:01.480 and also make its way into homes that don't have 0:01:01.640 --> 0:01:04.720 candy eating kids, where then parents are likely to pick 0:01:04.800 --> 0:01:06.240 up the candy and eat it themselves. 0:01:06.600 --> 0:01:07.600 Yeh, that's for sure. 0:01:08.440 --> 0:01:12.360 Meanwhile, a fast food chain and a gas station chain 0:01:12.760 --> 0:01:16.280 are highlighting deals for cash strap consumers. 0:01:16.720 --> 0:01:19.920 Yeah, and this just goes to show how aware so 0:01:20.080 --> 0:01:24.680 many consumer facing businesses are that people are still struggling 0:01:24.800 --> 0:01:28.920 with inflation, even though you know, the inflation numbers show 0:01:29.000 --> 0:01:32.280 quote unquote be nine inflation. Right, Wendy's expanding its Big 0:01:32.319 --> 0:01:36.120 Deals menu four dollars Biggie bytes, six dollars Biggie bags, 0:01:36.160 --> 0:01:39.240 and eight dollars Biggie bundles. That says fast food chains 0:01:39.600 --> 0:01:42.800 step up the competition for consumers struggling with food inflation. 0:01:43.400 --> 0:01:47.600 And on the gas station side, Circle K is now 0:01:47.640 --> 0:01:50.960 offering forty cents off per gallon of guests. That is 0:01:51.080 --> 0:01:54.000 just for today. It's calling it fuel Day as people, 0:01:54.040 --> 0:01:56.600 it says, struggle with their budgets post holidays. You know, 0:01:56.720 --> 0:01:59.480 January can be rough when those credit card payments come 0:01:59.480 --> 0:02:01.360 to do. And this is for members of the gas 0:02:01.400 --> 0:02:04.720 station's loyalty program. They're obviously wanting more people to sign 0:02:04.840 --> 0:02:08.080 up for its loyalty program to increase engagement. I'd say 0:02:08.120 --> 0:02:11.400 foot traffic, but that's not appropriate. Wheel traffic, we'll call it. 0:02:11.960 --> 0:02:15.560 But don't get any ideas about stockpiling more in gas 0:02:15.600 --> 0:02:19.000 cans at this forty cents off per gallon ats circle 0:02:19.040 --> 0:02:21.880 K because the offer is only good once per account, 0:02:21.919 --> 0:02:24.760 and they are capping the amount that you can pump 0:02:24.760 --> 0:02:25.640 into your tank. 0:02:26.440 --> 0:02:30.240 Well, of course they understandable, yes, understandable for sure. The 0:02:30.280 --> 0:02:32.359 futures this morning, how are things looking so far? 0:02:32.520 --> 0:02:32.880 Future? 0:02:33.720 --> 0:02:36.240 I was about to open my mouth and say they 0:02:36.320 --> 0:02:39.680 were looking great, but now Dow futures have turned lower, 0:02:39.680 --> 0:02:42.720 their down forty eight s and p futures, though they're 0:02:42.760 --> 0:02:46.040 still up twenty eight. We are seeing some positivity when 0:02:46.080 --> 0:02:49.960 it comes to tech, and that's because of what happened 0:02:49.960 --> 0:02:55.079 with Taiwan Semi and its prospects for AI related development. 0:02:55.720 --> 0:02:59.160 We do have Morgan Stanley reporting quarterly results. We'll see 0:02:59.280 --> 0:03:01.680 what we get there. From Bloomberg, I'm dense public greading 0:03:01.720 --> 0:03:15.040 news radio seven hundred WLW. 0:03:12.000 --> 0:03:14.480 Oh you eight eleven on the morning shows seven hundred 0:03:14.560 --> 0:03:18.240 w l W tined enough to join us each and 0:03:18.520 --> 0:03:23.560 every Thursday at this time. You can hear him syndicated 0:03:24.160 --> 0:03:28.280 on nearly three hundred radio stations coast to coast. I 0:03:28.320 --> 0:03:33.280 mean the brand, the man Gary Sullivan. 0:03:33.880 --> 0:03:36.640 Mister Berneman, how in the world are you good, buddy, 0:03:36.680 --> 0:03:38.720 How you doing today? Good? You got your overalls. We're 0:03:38.760 --> 0:03:39.839 gonna work today. 0:03:39.680 --> 0:03:41.640 Are we? I'm ready to go. 0:03:41.840 --> 0:03:44.040 Let's go, toolbus, got your goggles. 0:03:45.400 --> 0:03:50.080 I got a hat, need a hat. My hair's fallen out, 0:03:50.080 --> 0:03:52.600 and so all of a sudden, it's skin being exposed 0:03:52.720 --> 0:03:53.840 rather than hair. 0:03:54.040 --> 0:03:55.760 It's coverings. Happen. 0:03:55.920 --> 0:03:59.600 Doesn't happen to you. I got hair, You got a 0:03:59.600 --> 0:04:00.720 whole head full of hair. 0:04:01.240 --> 0:04:05.960 Goodness, gracious, good jealous? All right, now, you told me 0:04:06.640 --> 0:04:09.000 that there are a few things around your house that 0:04:09.040 --> 0:04:12.600 have bothered you lately. Right, okay, so you tell me. 0:04:13.200 --> 0:04:16.440 The first one is whenever you go to you say, 0:04:16.480 --> 0:04:19.320 the vanity, like shave in the morning, that kind of thing, right, 0:04:19.520 --> 0:04:22.679 there's an odor there right now? Now, what is going 0:04:22.720 --> 0:04:23.640 on with that? 0:04:24.000 --> 0:04:26.000 Yeah? You ever have that problem? Yeah? 0:04:26.120 --> 0:04:27.280 Yeah, yeah, it's a. 0:04:27.240 --> 0:04:33.040 Fairly common problem. And what it is it's bacteria. I mean, 0:04:33.080 --> 0:04:37.279 that's what causes odors and the reason. And there's always 0:04:37.279 --> 0:04:40.080 going to be bacterian drains, whether it's the kitchen and 0:04:40.120 --> 0:04:43.840 you got food particles, whether it's you know, the vanity 0:04:43.880 --> 0:04:49.760 and you've got flakes of skin, hair shaving residue all that. 0:04:50.320 --> 0:04:53.720 But really, what's happened in the cosmetics industry a lot. 0:04:53.880 --> 0:04:56.440 Everything is kind of sticky. I mean, we've got hairspray. 0:04:57.200 --> 0:04:58.919 Of course, you don't need that now you're losing. 0:04:58.720 --> 0:05:00.960 Your That's exactly right, that's exactly right. 0:05:01.000 --> 0:05:03.320 You needed that data. Yeah, thanks a lot, you bet you. 0:05:04.400 --> 0:05:07.920 We got shaving cream that's not really soapy. It's kind 0:05:07.920 --> 0:05:09.919 of just sticky. It's kind of like a gel. Yep, 0:05:10.120 --> 0:05:12.560 So we got all these things on toothpastes of a jail. 0:05:12.560 --> 0:05:16.440 Everything's a gel. So the inside of the pipes get 0:05:16.480 --> 0:05:20.800 a little sticky, and when we turn the water on, 0:05:21.200 --> 0:05:23.280 or before we turn the water on, you start having 0:05:23.279 --> 0:05:27.120 this odor from the bacteria. And so people will get 0:05:27.120 --> 0:05:29.080 in there and they'll put drain cleaners in there and 0:05:29.279 --> 0:05:31.880 different things like that. But we kind of started the odor. 0:05:32.120 --> 0:05:33.719 So what's going on? 0:05:33.839 --> 0:05:34.680 What is going on? 0:05:34.839 --> 0:05:37.599 Yeah, And a lot of cases people overlook one thing, 0:05:37.680 --> 0:05:40.960 and that is the overflow tube on the inside of 0:05:41.000 --> 0:05:44.960 the vanity bowl. So, in other words, if your drain 0:05:45.240 --> 0:05:48.240 was not running very well and somebody left the water on, 0:05:48.320 --> 0:05:50.680 which by the way, happened to me about thirty years 0:05:50.680 --> 0:05:54.720 ago when the kids were home and the water spills over, well, 0:05:55.240 --> 0:05:58.000 that's because it wasn't able to take enough water down 0:05:58.120 --> 0:06:01.400 during that overflow hole. But that's where the odor is 0:06:01.400 --> 0:06:04.400 coming from. Everybody's concentrating on the drain and you should, 0:06:05.160 --> 0:06:09.360 but bathrooms are humid in a lot of cases, that 0:06:09.440 --> 0:06:13.200 bacteria is being activated by moisture, and the odor is 0:06:13.240 --> 0:06:15.600 actually it's in the drain, but it's also coming up 0:06:15.640 --> 0:06:20.640 through uh the overflow tube. So the overflow tube agains 0:06:20.720 --> 0:06:23.160 on the front side of the ball tom usually about 0:06:23.200 --> 0:06:25.400 right where the right where your gut is on the 0:06:25.440 --> 0:06:30.920 inside of that bowl. Get some either bleach or dishwashing 0:06:32.120 --> 0:06:35.320 for the dishwasher, that soap, and just put that down there. 0:06:35.680 --> 0:06:38.400 It'll migrate down into the pipe and it will also 0:06:39.040 --> 0:06:43.480 sanitize that overflow. And I'll tell you, within a day 0:06:43.600 --> 0:06:46.200 or so that odor will be gone. And it's almost 0:06:46.400 --> 0:06:49.000 something that's going to be relatively a maintenance thing. You 0:06:49.000 --> 0:06:51.760 get a little whiff of that, just get just get 0:06:51.800 --> 0:06:55.520 that h get that solved with the dishwashing. 0:06:55.680 --> 0:06:55.960 Okay. 0:06:56.000 --> 0:06:57.880 So if I if I hear you right, this is 0:06:57.920 --> 0:07:00.680 not only you you were making reference it you it's 0:07:00.680 --> 0:07:03.119 in the bathroom where you shave the vanity, et cetera. 0:07:03.279 --> 0:07:04.839 This is the same kind of thing because I noticed 0:07:04.880 --> 0:07:09.040 yesterday around our house that it was the kitchen sink right, 0:07:09.200 --> 0:07:12.240 the disposal right, So you're telling me this same thing 0:07:12.360 --> 0:07:13.280 works for that. 0:07:13.840 --> 0:07:17.120 Well, I'll tell you what I would do. So there's 0:07:17.320 --> 0:07:20.920 different products that will sanitize your disposal. Some of them 0:07:21.000 --> 0:07:24.080 look like a big giant pill. It looks like a 0:07:24.080 --> 0:07:27.320 hockey puck. You just put it in there, grind it up, 0:07:27.360 --> 0:07:31.120 and it'll sanitize the inside of the disposal. But if 0:07:31.120 --> 0:07:34.160 you're having that odor, throw some ice cubes in there. 0:07:34.800 --> 0:07:37.520 Threw a lemon in there, grind it up. That'll clean 0:07:37.560 --> 0:07:39.920 the inside up pretty good. Okay, But where the odors 0:07:39.960 --> 0:07:42.720 coming from on a disposal, Tommy, You a little black 0:07:42.800 --> 0:07:47.360 gasket that fits down in the train, yep, pull that out, 0:07:47.880 --> 0:07:51.200 it just comes right out, sure, and scrub the back 0:07:51.240 --> 0:07:53.720 of it with just some dish soap. That's what happens. 0:07:53.720 --> 0:07:55.800 When the food gets ground up, it splices on the 0:07:55.840 --> 0:08:00.600 back side of that gasket, and the bacteri starts growing. 0:08:00.680 --> 0:08:03.200 It creates an odor. So it's as simple as just 0:08:03.240 --> 0:08:06.080 as cleaning that out, and it's pretty simple to clean. 0:08:06.200 --> 0:08:10.360 It's funny you bring that up because just experiencing that yesterday. Okay, 0:08:10.400 --> 0:08:13.960 another thing that you said bothering you about your house. 0:08:14.000 --> 0:08:18.960 These days you're getting gaps around the door and your 0:08:19.080 --> 0:08:22.880 floors are squeaking. Yeah, let's take each of those in 0:08:22.960 --> 0:08:24.040 and out by themselves. 0:08:24.080 --> 0:08:27.000 Yeah they're all related. Okay, they're all related, which makes 0:08:27.000 --> 0:08:29.360 it really simple. And I don't know if you have that, 0:08:29.480 --> 0:08:31.240 but if you got some crown molding and all of 0:08:31.280 --> 0:08:33.200 a sudden you can see a gap between the crown 0:08:33.280 --> 0:08:37.520 molding and the ceiling or baseboards, the baseboard to the wall, 0:08:37.559 --> 0:08:40.160 there gets to be a little grap gap. And it's 0:08:40.240 --> 0:08:43.800 especially this time of year, or around the doors and 0:08:43.840 --> 0:08:46.400 the floor squeaking. And the reason is is your house 0:08:46.480 --> 0:08:49.560 is drying out. It is cold out there. It's going 0:08:49.640 --> 0:08:52.400 to be cold all weekend. And when it's really cold, 0:08:52.480 --> 0:08:56.199 dumidity gets very very low. When everybody checked their indoor humidity, 0:08:56.600 --> 0:08:59.280 it should be between thirty and thirty five percent. You 0:08:59.360 --> 0:09:03.360 probably are if you don't have a humidifier, you very 0:09:03.400 --> 0:09:06.480 well could be running humidity around twenty twenty five percent. 0:09:06.920 --> 0:09:11.400 It dries out the wood and it causes squeaks. It 0:09:11.440 --> 0:09:14.880 causes squeaks. So now a really good thing for around 0:09:14.960 --> 0:09:17.600 the gaps between the crown molding and the floor. This 0:09:17.679 --> 0:09:21.319 is a perfect time to clock those. You can use 0:09:21.360 --> 0:09:26.679 in acrylic, siliconized calcking good stretchability. Because you go, your 0:09:26.679 --> 0:09:27.079 house goes. 0:09:27.120 --> 0:09:30.240 Here you go again, Gary, Here you go again, Here 0:09:30.320 --> 0:09:33.520 you go again. I told you talk about trauelty again. 0:09:33.600 --> 0:09:34.079 Here we go. 0:09:36.120 --> 0:09:38.840 Tumb that down for me? How easy that is, because 0:09:38.840 --> 0:09:40.200 I'm sure it probably is. 0:09:40.320 --> 0:09:43.600 It's not that difficult, okay, And if you don't want 0:09:43.640 --> 0:09:46.280 to do it, it's okay. Just let's work on getting the 0:09:46.360 --> 0:09:49.959 humidity level up to around thirty five percent in your home. 0:09:50.520 --> 0:09:53.640 Maybe you get a humidifier in your furnace, maybe you 0:09:53.640 --> 0:09:57.400 get a bedroom umidifier. Again, putting some moisture in the 0:09:57.480 --> 0:10:00.480 air will alleviate some of these problems and you'll feel better. 0:10:00.840 --> 0:10:03.960 Your nasal passages will feel a lot better in the morning, 0:10:04.480 --> 0:10:07.880 and your skin's gonna feel better. So getting that humidity 0:10:07.960 --> 0:10:11.480 up so you can see it wherever there's organic material 0:10:11.640 --> 0:10:14.600 like wood, and you take the moisture out because the 0:10:14.600 --> 0:10:17.600 air is very, very drier. Of course, your wood floors 0:10:17.600 --> 0:10:21.640 are gonna squeak, right, and there's gonna be gaps. Things 0:10:21.640 --> 0:10:25.880 are shrinking your houses literally breathing and shrinking and expanding 0:10:26.000 --> 0:10:28.080 in contraction. So if you don't want to get the 0:10:28.120 --> 0:10:32.480 calking out, even though you can siliconized to crily calking, 0:10:32.559 --> 0:10:36.000 it's paintable, it's stretchable, and it will do a great 0:10:36.080 --> 0:10:38.080 job of filling that up and it'll close up real 0:10:38.200 --> 0:10:41.080 nice in the summer. As it stretches next winter, you'll 0:10:41.080 --> 0:10:43.120 have that elasticity to cover that gap. 0:10:43.240 --> 0:10:45.640 So this sounds like a stupid question, but you know, 0:10:45.720 --> 0:10:48.920 I'm not a bright guy on this stuff. Generally, when 0:10:49.000 --> 0:10:51.720 the humidity comes back, as things warm up again, those 0:10:51.760 --> 0:10:53.280 things take care of themselves. 0:10:53.320 --> 0:10:56.600 By and large, they do Okay, they really do. Yep. 0:10:56.679 --> 0:10:59.640 They'll expand and fill out, but it's not very you know, 0:10:59.679 --> 0:11:02.079 some very pretty in the winter time. And if you 0:11:02.120 --> 0:11:03.760 want to stay on top of it, this is a 0:11:03.800 --> 0:11:05.320 perfect time to fill those gaps. 0:11:05.400 --> 0:11:08.360 Okay, last thing I wanted to ask you about, and 0:11:08.360 --> 0:11:10.360 and look, I don't care if you have a house 0:11:10.400 --> 0:11:13.920 it was built last year. It feels like this time 0:11:13.960 --> 0:11:16.920 of year, when it gets this cold, you get anywhere 0:11:16.960 --> 0:11:19.440 near a window, there seems to be a little bit 0:11:19.440 --> 0:11:20.719 of a draftiness to it. 0:11:20.800 --> 0:11:21.360 Is that fair? 0:11:21.679 --> 0:11:21.920 Yeah? 0:11:22.160 --> 0:11:23.880 Okay? And what to do? 0:11:24.360 --> 0:11:28.320 Yeah, you know, sometimes Toms, it's as basic as making 0:11:28.320 --> 0:11:32.000 sure the window is locked. I know it sounds weird, 0:11:32.040 --> 0:11:34.800 but if it's a caseman window or a double hung window, 0:11:34.880 --> 0:11:38.360 there's locks. You know, you got the two little locks 0:11:38.360 --> 0:11:42.600 on the top of the slider of the double hung window. 0:11:42.720 --> 0:11:46.160 Make sure they're locked because that pulls the two windows together. 0:11:46.280 --> 0:11:48.160 And I'll tell you when people complain to me about 0:11:48.280 --> 0:11:50.600 drafting windows and I tell them about checking to make 0:11:50.640 --> 0:11:52.480 sure it's locked, I can't tell you how many times 0:11:52.520 --> 0:11:56.560 they go, oh yeah, different, I bet. So that's one thing, 0:11:56.760 --> 0:11:59.439 just double check. Another thing you can do is pull 0:11:59.480 --> 0:12:03.760 the block. That'll help, you know, alleviate a little bit. 0:12:03.760 --> 0:12:05.640 It's the draft's still gonna come in, but it's not 0:12:05.640 --> 0:12:08.080 gonna blow right on you, so pull the blinds down. 0:12:08.640 --> 0:12:11.120 There is also I'm gonna go back to the calking thing. 0:12:11.160 --> 0:12:13.640 A lot of people don't realize this product exists. There's 0:12:13.640 --> 0:12:16.880 one called a draft stop, and I think one's called 0:12:16.920 --> 0:12:20.400 peel away. It's a clear calking. You can literally calk 0:12:20.480 --> 0:12:24.240 your windows closed. So where the two meet the frame, 0:12:24.880 --> 0:12:28.000 or where the two panels meet each other, you can 0:12:28.040 --> 0:12:30.720 put a bead of cocking there. Like the draft stop. 0:12:31.080 --> 0:12:34.880 It's clear, it'll seal that draft come march. You can 0:12:34.960 --> 0:12:36.240 just pick and peel that away. 0:12:36.559 --> 0:12:36.839 Hmm. 0:12:36.960 --> 0:12:38.880 Okay, I got one more question, all right, and this 0:12:39.000 --> 0:12:45.880 wasn't on our list as far as the flume is concerned. 0:12:46.240 --> 0:12:46.600 Okay. 0:12:46.640 --> 0:12:50.839 In a fireplace, okay, right, and it's really really cold, 0:12:50.880 --> 0:12:52.960 there has to be some air that's coming down there 0:12:52.960 --> 0:12:55.920 if you leave it open, and it probably it gets 0:12:55.960 --> 0:12:59.040 in even if you have it closed. Okay, But is 0:12:59.080 --> 0:13:02.360 there a rule of thumb about really should I close 0:13:02.400 --> 0:13:03.880 it or can't I just leave it open? 0:13:04.040 --> 0:13:04.840 What's the difference. 0:13:05.000 --> 0:13:06.239 Do you have a gas fireplace? 0:13:07.640 --> 0:13:09.400 Yes, but then I turn off the gas and let 0:13:09.400 --> 0:13:09.960 the wood burn. 0:13:10.080 --> 0:13:13.440 Yes, I would, uh, first of all, when the fires burn, 0:13:13.480 --> 0:13:15.480 of course, the flu stays open. Second or the four 0:13:15.760 --> 0:13:19.400 it's everything's extinguished, everything is out. I'd give it a 0:13:19.480 --> 0:13:22.400 half hour, and i'd definitely close it, okay, because what 0:13:22.480 --> 0:13:24.920 it is, it's like a metal plate that just kind 0:13:24.920 --> 0:13:27.440 of you know, it's not like weather stripping and rubber 0:13:27.480 --> 0:13:29.040 on it or anything. It's just a metal plate. But 0:13:29.120 --> 0:13:32.000 it stops the draft. And as you turned the cooking 0:13:32.040 --> 0:13:34.080 fan on the bathroom fan, guess where it's pulling the 0:13:34.120 --> 0:13:35.600 air right down the chimney. 0:13:35.679 --> 0:13:36.360 Yep, yep. 0:13:36.520 --> 0:13:38.000 Okay, Yeah, make sure that's good. 0:13:38.160 --> 0:13:40.480 My wife was all over my case yesterday about it. 0:13:40.600 --> 0:13:41.480 Did you win or lose? 0:13:43.520 --> 0:13:45.800 Why would you even ask me that? I just thought, 0:13:45.840 --> 0:13:47.760 I mean, are you kidding that?

You're 0:19:20.080 --> 0:19:22.439 settling back in now, everything good. You look like you've 0:19:22.440 --> 0:19:25.400 made some pretty cool spots following you on Instagram here. 0:19:26.520 --> 0:19:29.600 Yes, you know, January isn't sleepy like it used to be. 0:19:29.880 --> 0:19:33.119 You know, there's still things going on, which is fantastic. 0:19:34.000 --> 0:19:36.320 You know, it's interesting we had. We had a lady 0:19:36.359 --> 0:19:40.240 on the other day talking about from Bloomberg talking about 0:19:40.359 --> 0:19:43.560 how you know a lot of people they go a 0:19:43.840 --> 0:19:47.960 dry January, right and look, on this program, we're not 0:19:48.160 --> 0:19:51.199 endorsing people going out and drinking til they can't, you know, 0:19:51.359 --> 0:19:54.119 either drive or walk home or walk out to the street. 0:19:54.440 --> 0:19:57.040 But nonetheless, do you see a little bit of that. 0:19:57.160 --> 0:19:58.960 I may not be as quiet as it used to be, 0:19:59.040 --> 0:20:00.800 but are you seeing more and more people that are 0:20:01.080 --> 0:20:03.359 putting dry January into practice? 0:20:04.280 --> 0:20:05.920 I do, actually I do. 0:20:06.040 --> 0:20:08.119 But you know what is also in the industry, and 0:20:08.160 --> 0:20:10.320 it is through March of the THCHC drinks and they 0:20:10.359 --> 0:20:13.359 sell those at bars and the dry January, you know, 0:20:13.400 --> 0:20:17.840 like they say California Sober. I think those have come 0:20:17.840 --> 0:20:20.320 into play a little bit. So even though they're not drinking, 0:20:21.640 --> 0:20:23.919 a lot of people are doing the THCHD drinks. 0:20:24.000 --> 0:20:28.720 But Sober I've never heard that before. I guess I 0:20:28.720 --> 0:20:30.480 got to get with the times. That's pretty good. 0:20:30.840 --> 0:20:33.520 It's a good song too.

If you've got the 0:20:41.400 --> 0:20:44.239 kids thanks to do over the weekend. Maybe it's date night, 0:20:44.359 --> 0:20:49.240 looking for something to do with your significant other. And then, 0:20:49.240 --> 0:20:50.959 of course, if you're just going out with your friends, 0:20:51.000 --> 0:20:53.199 you could be single, you can just all be married. 0:20:53.200 --> 0:20:55.679 But the girls are going out, guys are going out, whatever. 0:20:55.400 --> 0:20:56.000 The case may be. 0:20:56.119 --> 0:20:59.600
