WEBVTT - Mornings with Steve Hawkins in for Thom 1/1/2026 0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:02.600 Picked out the ways I thought would work best for me. 0:00:03.480 --> 0:00:06.360 I started by setting a quick date. Then I threw 0:00:06.400 --> 0:00:10.119 out my ash trays, lighters, and matches. I did other 0:00:10.200 --> 0:00:14.680 things too, like exercising more, and it worked, but I'd 0:00:14.680 --> 0:00:19.400 still get cravings, especially on long car rides. To help 0:00:19.440 --> 0:00:21.840 me with that, I put a picture of my mother 0:00:21.920 --> 0:00:25.560 in my car. She died of lung cancer from smoking 0:00:25.560 --> 0:00:29.560 cigarettes when I was only sixteen. Now I have a 0:00:29.600 --> 0:00:33.839 sixteen year old daughter. That picture of my mother reminds 0:00:33.960 --> 0:00:35.720 me that I don't want to miss all the things 0:00:35.760 --> 0:00:39.279 my daughter is going to do in her life, including 0:00:39.320 --> 0:00:40.360 turning seventeen. 0:00:42.000 --> 0:00:45.160 You can quit for free help call one eight hundred 0:00:45.280 --> 0:00:48.080 Quit now, a message from the US Department of Health 0:00:48.080 --> 0:00:49.639 and Human Services and CDC. 0:00:50.360 --> 0:00:53.160 Splash back to the countdowns you grew up with pun 0:00:53.200 --> 0:00:57.040 Classic American Top forty.

When someone buys a 0:01:33.240 --> 0:01:36.120 million dollars of shares in a company, the market notices 0:01:36.319 --> 0:01:39.720 when it's that company's own CEO. The market gets excited, 0:01:39.959 --> 0:01:41.959 based in part on the idea that if the boss 0:01:42.080 --> 0:01:45.559 is that confident, investors should be two shares of Nike 0:01:45.640 --> 0:01:49.080 arising more than four percent today after CEO Elliott Hill 0:01:49.440 --> 0:01:52.200 disclosed that he has purchased more than sixteen thousand company 0:01:52.280 --> 0:01:56.000 shares worth roughly a million dollars. The Santa Claus rally, 0:01:56.000 --> 0:01:58.400 the period of Wall Street gains that usually close out 0:01:58.440 --> 0:02:00.800 an old year and usher in a new one. Is 0:02:00.800 --> 0:02:03.480 it really happening this time around? The main indexes are 0:02:03.480 --> 0:02:06.800 on pace to finish twenty twenty five with four straight losses. 0:02:07.360 --> 0:02:09.280 Right now, the down Nazak and S and P five 0:02:09.400 --> 0:02:11.600 hundred each were losing about a third of a percent, 0:02:12.120 --> 0:02:14.760 Although for the year a different story a twenty twenty 0:02:14.760 --> 0:02:17.720 five that witnessed a dramatic downworth swing this spring than 0:02:17.760 --> 0:02:20.560 a recovery this summer and fall is set to close 0:02:20.600 --> 0:02:23.160 with strong gains for stocks, with the SMP set to 0:02:23.200 --> 0:02:29.040 lock in a seventeen percent annual advance. Andrew rote Bloomberg Radio. 0:02:29.800 --> 0:02:32.800 Hey, good morning, It's eight ten on seven hundred WLW 0:02:32.919 --> 0:02:36.080 Steve Hawkins and for Tom Burnhaman every week at this 0:02:36.160 --> 0:02:39.120 time on Thursdays, we get talked to Gary Sullivan And 0:02:39.720 --> 0:02:40.560 New Year's Day. 0:02:40.480 --> 0:02:44.560 Is no different? Is it? Happy New Year? Did you 0:02:44.600 --> 0:02:46.400 make it up till midnight or four am? 0:02:46.600 --> 0:02:50.200 Or I made it to Gary's midnight there, which is 0:02:51.360 --> 0:02:52.239 about ten thirty. 0:02:52.320 --> 0:02:54.280 There you go. I like that. 0:02:54.400 --> 0:02:58.200 Well, we get Gary Sullivan at home on the weekends 0:02:58.280 --> 0:03:00.639 nine o'clock on Saturday Sunday fifty five. 0:03:00.720 --> 0:03:00.919 Care. 0:03:01.080 --> 0:03:04.800 See, it's it's time to clean up from our New 0:03:04.880 --> 0:03:07.639 Year's Eve party and make room for all those Christmas. 0:03:08.400 --> 0:03:10.480 Do I have the heaviest job in the world. No, 0:03:10.560 --> 0:03:14.840 you probably do New Year's Day doing a four hour show, 0:03:14.880 --> 0:03:18.400 but trying to inspire people to let's clean up on 0:03:18.480 --> 0:03:19.200 New Year's Day. 0:03:19.600 --> 0:03:23.520 Yeah, ain't gonna happen. But I got some good ideas 0:03:23.760 --> 0:03:24.919 with those. Yeah. 0:03:25.040 --> 0:03:27.160 Well, I guess the number one thing, Steve is you 0:03:27.160 --> 0:03:29.480 know we got all the gifts we got all the stuff, 0:03:29.520 --> 0:03:32.440 and we got shortage of space in our homes. That's 0:03:32.480 --> 0:03:35.320 a big trend right now. True, not having shortage, but 0:03:35.360 --> 0:03:37.440 trying to find out where to put all this stuff. 0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:40.800 And of course the first thing we got to do 0:03:41.000 --> 0:03:45.000 is start looking up and around and where can I 0:03:45.120 --> 0:03:48.600 store stuff? Now, some people like to throw things away, 0:03:48.680 --> 0:03:51.280 some people like to donate things. Some people like to 0:03:51.320 --> 0:03:55.720 ignore things. I don't know where you fall into that category, 0:03:55.760 --> 0:03:59.240 but the bottom line is, eventually you kind of start 0:03:59.280 --> 0:04:02.080 running room if you live in a house long enough. 0:04:02.200 --> 0:04:04.960 So I don't know, we can we can start in 0:04:05.000 --> 0:04:07.240 the garage. That's probably a really good place. I don't 0:04:07.280 --> 0:04:10.120 know about your garage. I can still drive my cars 0:04:10.120 --> 0:04:10.560 in mine. 0:04:10.680 --> 0:04:11.240 I can too. 0:04:11.280 --> 0:04:14.240 I did the storage above the garage door, so when 0:04:14.240 --> 0:04:16.280 it comes up the garage is so good. 0:04:16.600 --> 0:04:19.279 I've got storage up there. You're so good. 0:04:19.360 --> 0:04:21.320 One of the first things I put is look up. 0:04:21.400 --> 0:04:23.080 Yeah, that's what I say, look up there. 0:04:23.120 --> 0:04:25.880 But yeah, because you know, like bikes, they take up 0:04:25.920 --> 0:04:27.080 an awful lot of room. 0:04:27.240 --> 0:04:27.520 Yep. 0:04:27.800 --> 0:04:32.920 And putting in those little jay hooks not into the drywall, 0:04:32.960 --> 0:04:36.159 but into the studs behind the drywall, and hang those 0:04:36.200 --> 0:04:38.360 bikes upside down. You're like me, and you got a 0:04:38.400 --> 0:04:40.479 lot of bikes in there, and they're not kids bikes, 0:04:40.480 --> 0:04:42.880 they're your bikes. You're probably not going to use them 0:04:43.040 --> 0:04:45.360 all that often. You're gonna use them, but you don't 0:04:45.400 --> 0:04:47.080 have to trip over them every day of the year. 0:04:47.480 --> 0:04:50.080 So look up, and there's even racks. 0:04:50.120 --> 0:04:50.919 There's rails. 0:04:50.960 --> 0:04:53.279 I don't know if you've seen these, where you can 0:04:54.040 --> 0:04:56.479 put the rails on the ceiling of the garage. Again 0:04:56.480 --> 0:04:59.040 away from depends on how your door is set up. 0:04:59.080 --> 0:05:01.280 In your door open or set up, did you put 0:05:01.320 --> 0:05:03.600 the rails? And then they got these plastic containers that 0:05:03.800 --> 0:05:06.840 just slide right into those rails. I like that, which 0:05:06.880 --> 0:05:09.000 is really nice because a lot of people, as we 0:05:09.080 --> 0:05:13.560 take down decorations, either outside or inside, one of the 0:05:13.600 --> 0:05:16.040 places that people store stuff and I'm here to tell 0:05:16.080 --> 0:05:17.440 you and not the best place. 0:05:17.160 --> 0:05:19.320 In the world to store is in the attic. 0:05:19.920 --> 0:05:23.760 Really yeah. For number one is that attic, even when 0:05:23.839 --> 0:05:29.560 it's ventilated, gets hotter than it is outside because it's 0:05:29.560 --> 0:05:32.760 an enclosed area. Even with the vents. If it's ninety 0:05:32.800 --> 0:05:36.480 degrees outside, that attic well ventilated still might be one 0:05:36.560 --> 0:05:39.480 hundred and ten hundred and twenty degrees and those wires 0:05:39.520 --> 0:05:42.359 on those lights and things, they're not designed to do that. 0:05:43.279 --> 0:05:47.200 And the second thing is, you know anybody it's fallen 0:05:47.240 --> 0:05:51.080 through their ceiling, Yeah, did that thirty years. Everybody's got 0:05:51.080 --> 0:05:51.480 a story. 0:05:51.960 --> 0:05:52.400 I will not. 0:05:52.760 --> 0:05:55.000 I have not because I don't store things. 0:05:54.839 --> 0:05:57.120 In the attic. But that happens too. 0:05:57.279 --> 0:05:59.720 People get up there, they get a you know, a 0:06:00.240 --> 0:06:03.960 little not real focus to what they're doing. They're trying 0:06:04.000 --> 0:06:05.640 to pick up the box and move this, and they 0:06:05.680 --> 0:06:09.279 step between the joyce and boom, you know, you're coming 0:06:09.320 --> 0:06:12.200 through the drywall. So there's a couple of really good 0:06:12.240 --> 0:06:14.920 reasons not to store stuff in the attic. There you go, 0:06:15.320 --> 0:06:16.960 And how do you store your paint cans? 0:06:17.000 --> 0:06:20.240 Well, I'm was just gonna say, you've got paint cans 0:06:20.320 --> 0:06:23.520 on our list here. I've got some in the basement, 0:06:23.760 --> 0:06:26.800 but some we moved from the garage at the end 0:06:26.880 --> 0:06:27.719 of summertime. 0:06:28.120 --> 0:06:29.960 What do we do with use paint cans? 0:06:30.120 --> 0:06:33.680 Well, in some cases find out if you even have 0:06:33.800 --> 0:06:37.080 that color in your house anymore. Because I went through 0:06:37.080 --> 0:06:38.720 this about a year and a half ago, and I 0:06:38.760 --> 0:06:40.400 don't know, I think I had something like thirty eight 0:06:40.520 --> 0:06:44.960 paint cans and I had colors that were long gone, 0:06:45.240 --> 0:06:48.800 and so I started checking how much paint was in 0:06:48.839 --> 0:06:51.320 each can. And sometimes if there's you know, three or 0:06:51.320 --> 0:06:54.120 four inches and it's a latex paint, you can put 0:06:54.200 --> 0:06:57.520 kitty litter in there, keep the lid open, it'll solidify 0:06:57.600 --> 0:07:00.599 and you can actually put it in the landfill. But 0:07:00.680 --> 0:07:02.960 if you got a half a gallon of it, or 0:07:03.000 --> 0:07:05.200 even a full gallon, I had a couple of those, 0:07:06.160 --> 0:07:11.040 there's places that take those. Matthew twenty five ministries habitat 0:07:11.040 --> 0:07:15.480 for many restores. I know, Matthew twenty five, they actually 0:07:16.000 --> 0:07:17.880 have it and ship it overseas. 0:07:18.360 --> 0:07:18.720 Really. 0:07:18.960 --> 0:07:23.280 Yeah, and it's only latex paints. If it's oil based paints, 0:07:23.400 --> 0:07:27.000 usually your county or city will have you know, drop 0:07:27.040 --> 0:07:30.000 off for hazardous materials and that's how you get rid 0:07:30.080 --> 0:07:33.480 of the oil bases. But the latex you can solidify 0:07:33.720 --> 0:07:36.160 or donate and goes for a good cause. 0:07:36.280 --> 0:07:36.760 For sure. 0:07:37.080 --> 0:07:40.520 Wow, we did this also, I like that it's on 0:07:40.560 --> 0:07:43.600 your list here. Store things under the bed and beds 0:07:43.680 --> 0:07:45.720 under flat containers, drawers, boxes. 0:07:46.080 --> 0:07:48.640 Yes, yes, And that's a great area. 0:07:48.840 --> 0:07:50.880 You know I was talking about looking up you can 0:07:50.920 --> 0:07:53.520 look down to and underneath the bed. In a lot 0:07:53.560 --> 0:07:57.040 of cases, that's just a big voided area. I've you know, 0:07:57.120 --> 0:07:59.480 we have all kinds of plastic containers. A lot of 0:07:59.480 --> 0:08:02.200 people have. But even if you go and you have 0:08:02.240 --> 0:08:04.880 an old dresser that's not being used, maybe it's stored 0:08:04.920 --> 0:08:07.360 on the other side of the basement, you can actually 0:08:07.440 --> 0:08:11.040 take the drawers out. Think about that really, and then 0:08:11.120 --> 0:08:15.560 put the clothing in or whatever you're saving, and slide 0:08:15.600 --> 0:08:17.280 the whole drawer underneath the bed. 0:08:17.440 --> 0:08:18.440 It works beautifully. 0:08:18.440 --> 0:08:21.560 I've even seen people put on little casters on the 0:08:21.640 --> 0:08:24.200 corners so it rolls in and out. You can turn 0:08:24.240 --> 0:08:27.280 the under part of your bed into a chest of drawers. 0:08:27.560 --> 0:08:31.920 Yeah, and you also like incorporating shelving in our homes. 0:08:31.880 --> 0:08:34.280 Well yeah, yeah, you know. The worst thing in doing 0:08:34.320 --> 0:08:35.800 a basement I was talking about an attic and the 0:08:35.800 --> 0:08:38.520 worst thing and doing a basement store things in cardboard 0:08:39.200 --> 0:08:43.559 and even wood shelving that absorbs moisture. Basements are usually 0:08:43.679 --> 0:08:48.440 damp moisture and organic material can cause mold. Really, metal 0:08:48.559 --> 0:08:51.960 racking is readily available. I would use the metal racking 0:08:52.040 --> 0:08:54.760 more than I would use wood shelving, and I certainly 0:08:54.760 --> 0:08:56.440 wouldn't store things in cardboard. 0:08:57.040 --> 0:08:57.719 It kind of just. 0:08:57.760 --> 0:08:59.800 Draws that moisture and Again, if you get a little 0:08:59.840 --> 0:09:02.199 more and mildew growth, you kind of start having some 0:09:03.000 --> 0:09:07.800 unhealthy air in your home. So again looking at the cube, 0:09:07.880 --> 0:09:09.720 looking up, you can go all the way up to 0:09:09.760 --> 0:09:12.040 the joist and store some things. 0:09:12.120 --> 0:09:13.880 And that's a good way to do it. 0:09:13.920 --> 0:09:16.760 But first we got to go through the three piles. 0:09:16.840 --> 0:09:19.920 Remember trash donate. 0:09:20.240 --> 0:09:23.600 Mind there you go. I like this perfect time of year, 0:09:23.640 --> 0:09:24.240 perfect weather. 0:09:24.480 --> 0:09:27.800 Can't go outside, myst So maybe New Year's resolutions are 0:09:28.080 --> 0:09:28.680 what to do that. 0:09:29.080 --> 0:09:31.360 It's even warm enough today to get in the garage. 0:09:31.480 --> 0:09:34.520 Oh huh, you can put your motor bed, run the 0:09:34.559 --> 0:09:37.040 gas out of that bad boy, clean up the shovels. 0:09:37.080 --> 0:09:39.480 If you're looking for something to do, and I'm going 0:09:39.559 --> 0:09:42.319 to guess around four o'clock, wall all be looking for 0:09:42.400 --> 0:09:46.080 something to do. Absolutely, hey, this on your list. 0:09:46.080 --> 0:09:48.760 Here. Keep your manuals. Tell me about that. Well, you know, 0:09:48.840 --> 0:09:49.480 whenever you have. 0:09:49.559 --> 0:09:52.559 I just went through a couple of refrigerator repairs and 0:09:52.640 --> 0:09:56.439 an oven repair, and we have our manuals pretty organized 0:09:56.480 --> 0:09:59.320 and there's a lot of really good information in there 0:09:59.360 --> 0:10:04.080 about just trubble shooting, what the problem is now. So 0:10:04.240 --> 0:10:06.800 I encourage people to keep them. But there's other things 0:10:06.800 --> 0:10:08.480 you need to know too if you start having a 0:10:08.520 --> 0:10:11.439 problem with a refrigerator or something. A lot of times 0:10:11.440 --> 0:10:14.040 there's a QR code on, especially in the newer ones, 0:10:14.600 --> 0:10:16.800 on the inside part of the door. It'll have the 0:10:16.880 --> 0:10:19.080 serial number of the model number. And you shoot that 0:10:19.160 --> 0:10:24.439 QR code and your manuals there.

When someone buys a 0:12:38.760 --> 0:12:41.680 million dollars of shares in a company, the market notices 0:12:41.840 --> 0:12:45.280 when it's that company's own CEO. The market gets excited, 0:12:45.480 --> 0:12:47.520 based in part on the idea that if the boss 0:12:47.600 --> 0:12:51.080 is that competent, investors should be two shares of Nike 0:12:51.160 --> 0:12:54.640 arising more than four percent today after CEO Elliott Hill 0:12:55.000 --> 0:12:57.760 disclosed that he has purchased more than sixteen thousand company 0:12:57.840 --> 0:13:01.520 shares worth roughly a million dollars.

Is 0:13:06.360 --> 0:13:09.000 it really happening this time around? The main indexes are 0:13:09.040 --> 0:13:12.360 on pace to finish twenty twenty five with four straight losses. 0:13:12.880 --> 0:13:14.800 Right now, the Dow, NAZAC and S and P five 0:13:14.920 --> 0:13:17.120 hundred each are losing about a third of a percent, 0:13:17.640 --> 0:13:20.319 Although for the year. A different story, a twenty twenty 0:13:20.320 --> 0:13:23.280 five that witnessed a dramatic downworth swing this spring than 0:13:23.320 --> 0:13:26.120 a recovery this summer.

Andrew rote Bloomberg 0:13:33.960 --> 0:13:39.559 Radio seven hundred. 0:13:39.360 --> 0:13:43.120 WLW, looking back on twenty twenty five, I thought we 0:13:43.200 --> 0:13:47.080 talked to Mason Lee there, ABC News digital reporter in 0:13:47.200 --> 0:13:47.680 New York. 0:13:47.760 --> 0:13:51.520 Hey, good morning, how are you. I'm doing wonderful, How 0:13:51.559 --> 0:13:52.760 are you good? Good? 0:13:53.280 --> 0:13:56.920 A lot of things happened in twenty twenty five. This 0:13:56.960 --> 0:13:59.960 one's kind of surprising. Trump got rid of all the pennies, 0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:03.319 so they stopped making them. But do I understand America's 0:14:03.320 --> 0:14:06.560 smallest coins brought in some big bucks in the last 0:14:06.559 --> 0:14:07.439 couple of weeks. 0:14:08.440 --> 0:14:10.920 You are absolutely right, So, as you know, kind of 0:14:10.920 --> 0:14:13.240 one of the biggest developments I guess you know in 0:14:13.280 --> 0:14:16.040 the financial space for America is that we are leaving 0:14:16.080 --> 0:14:19.200 the penny behind this year. And so pennies from the 0:14:19.240 --> 0:14:23.000 final minted run of the coin sold for almost seventeen 0:14:23.160 --> 0:14:26.200 million dollars at an auction, which is pretty incredible. 0:14:26.720 --> 0:14:29.680 I mean, you said This isn't one penny, this is several. 0:14:30.920 --> 0:14:34.360 So in total, the Mint auctioned off two hundred and 0:14:34.480 --> 0:14:37.880 thirty two sets of three pennies each, and so the 0:14:37.880 --> 0:14:40.160 two hundred and thirty two sets is an ode to 0:14:40.200 --> 0:14:42.840 the two hundred and thirty two years that the penny 0:14:42.840 --> 0:14:47.160 has been minted in America, been seventeen ninety three. And 0:14:47.280 --> 0:14:49.720 each set of three pennies that was sold off, each 0:14:49.760 --> 0:14:52.000 of the lots, which is what they're called by the auctioneer, 0:14:52.360 --> 0:14:54.880 had a twenty twenty five penny from the Philadelphia Mint, 0:14:55.080 --> 0:14:57.640 a twenty twenty five penny from the Denver Mint, and 0:14:57.680 --> 0:15:03.200 then one special limited twenty four care gold penny also 0:15:03.400 --> 0:15:04.800 made in the Philadelphia Mint. 0:15:04.960 --> 0:15:07.920 Wow. And what was the amount that they received? Did 0:15:07.920 --> 0:15:09.200 you say? 0:15:09.400 --> 0:15:13.920 So? They received almost seventeen million dollars, which equates to 0:15:14.000 --> 0:15:17.880 about round seventy two thousand dollars for each of the 0:15:17.880 --> 0:15:20.480 two hundred and thirty two sets, and the final set, 0:15:20.640 --> 0:15:24.160 lot two hundred and thirty two sold for eight hundred 0:15:24.360 --> 0:15:25.400 thousand dollars. 0:15:25.760 --> 0:15:26.360 Wow. 0:15:26.800 --> 0:15:30.280 And according to this is Staxbauers Galleries in California. 0:15:30.360 --> 0:15:33.840 Is that who bought them? Exactly? So Stacksbauers galleries. 0:15:33.840 --> 0:15:35.880 They're the auctioneer who sold them off to you know, 0:15:36.040 --> 0:15:38.840 private people or companies that bought these points, and they're 0:15:38.920 --> 0:15:42.600 kind of known as the top coin auctioneer sellers in 0:15:42.640 --> 0:15:43.160 the country. 0:15:43.600 --> 0:15:46.320 Right, we're talking to Mason Leath, ABC News digital reporter. 0:15:46.400 --> 0:15:50.160 Things that happened in twenty twenty five, Let's get to Uh, 0:15:50.640 --> 0:15:53.000 it's messy, it's meaningless, and it's everywhere. 0:15:53.720 --> 0:15:53.840 Uh. 0:15:53.960 --> 0:15:57.680 The Marion Webster twenty twenty five word of the Year was. 0:15:57.640 --> 0:16:00.080 What so Well. 0:16:00.080 --> 0:16:03.320 According to Merriam Webster, they have crowned their twenty twenty 0:16:03.320 --> 0:16:07.200 five word of the Year as the word slop. Do 0:16:07.320 --> 0:16:09.560 you have any idea what slop could mean in the 0:16:09.560 --> 0:16:10.800 context of twenty twenty five? 0:16:10.920 --> 0:16:15.480 No, slop slop right exactly. 0:16:15.880 --> 0:16:15.960 So. 0:16:16.120 --> 0:16:19.880 Merriam Webster defines it as quote digital content of low 0:16:19.960 --> 0:16:25.200 quality that's produced in huge quantities, usually by artificial intelligence 0:16:25.400 --> 0:16:28.280 end quote. So you can think anything from fake news 0:16:28.320 --> 0:16:32.120 that looks real, junkie AI written books or Instagram post 0:16:32.520 --> 0:16:36.560 you know, bizarre suspicious looking ads, pointless work reports floating 0:16:36.600 --> 0:16:39.160 around on the internet, anything of that nature. It's the 0:16:39.200 --> 0:16:42.120 stuff that's just everywhere that you love to complain about. 0:16:42.560 --> 0:16:45.800 And it's called slop exactly. 0:16:46.280 --> 0:16:48.400 Slop actually is not a new word as we know. 0:16:48.520 --> 0:16:51.520 It actually dates back to the year seventeen hundred when 0:16:51.520 --> 0:16:55.120 it first meant soft mud. In eighteen hundreds, it became 0:16:55.240 --> 0:16:58.200 to mean food waste and eventually became slang for rubbish, 0:16:58.440 --> 0:17:00.520 you know, something of little or no value. And now 0:17:00.520 --> 0:17:02.360 it's involved in twenty twenty five. To me, you know, 0:17:02.520 --> 0:17:03.320 digital rubbish. 0:17:03.600 --> 0:17:06.520 Yeah, my grandfather used to go out and you'd always say, 0:17:06.520 --> 0:17:08.880 I'm gonna go out and slop the hogs or the pigs. 0:17:08.920 --> 0:17:11.760 So that's what I thought about it.
