Money, money, money, smell that fresh money news is being served.
This is the Boomberg Money Minute on seven hundred WLW.
All right, at seven, Welcome to the Morning Show. You're on seven hundred wl W. We check in with John Tucker from the Bloomberg newsroom in New York, New York. Big move by the company behind chat gfteam, mister Tucker.
Yeah, this was founded as a nonprofit, as you recall, dedicated to advancing digital intelligence. That's kind of a lofty mm h. Sam Altman's open Ai actually now the world's largest startup. This comes after a deal to help employees sell shares. The company is now valued at five hundred billion dollars. That rapid rise underscores the frenzy surrounding the leaders of the technology with the potential to transform industries and economies.
Yeah, there's no doubt about that. We talk a lot about that with a fellow named Greg Steven here on our show. While another another, another, another, I'll say it again, another big data breach.
Where is it now?
Yeah, ransomware group claims to have stolen data from a suite of popular Oracle applications, including Oracles E Business suite, pretty popular with businesses, the hackers compromised user emails to gain valid credentials. When will people learn don't open those emails that are kind of suspicious, and Apple hitting pause and a plan to overhaul to its Vision Pro headset. They're going to redirect the resources toward a more urgent effort developing smart glasses.
The company.
I've been preparing a cheaper, lighter variant of its headset for release in twenty twenty seven, but now they've announced internally that they're going to move stand from that project to focus on glasses. Glasses like for well, the like the Meta has those they're actually pretty cool looking, the ray band style.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I got it.
Okay, okay, okay, okay, sound like a genius because you can read stuff off her glasses screen.
Yeah, while you're walking around downtown and getting run over at an intersection right right in the right, Okay.
All right. I have the futures looking today, John Tucker.
After the records that we had yesterday for the major averages down futures thirty points slower, the S and P futures up sixteen, and the NASDAK futures up one hundred and thirty eight and for Bloomberg, I'm John Tucker in news radio seven hundred WLW.
It's always right every Thursday at this time to have our main man on. I mean you can listen to at Home of Gary Sullivan on over two hundred and seventy five stations nationally. I mean, can't go anywhere without people bothering him, Isn't that right?
Gary?
Oh?
Gosh, you know it. Man. You got a busy day today, you know, you know you have.
I have a very busy day to day. I've got a drive to Blacksburg, Virginia later today. Such pretty country though there. I don't know if you ever spent any time on there. That is one of my favorite parts of America.
Yep, yep. Well, my daughter's in Charlotte, so we go that way a lot. Yeah, and it is beautiful.
The only thing you gotta do, you gotta be careful. And I was explaining to my wife last night about why I'm leaving when I'm leaving because you know, one thing that I don't like to do, especially the older I get. I don't like driving through the mountains of West Virginia at night.
Yep.
Well, a lot of people don't like to do that. Yeah, yeah, I'm not alone. All right. Listen, there are a lot of people out there Gary.
They're gonna their eyes are gonna start rolling in the back of their head when we're gonna start talking about insulation. But the bottom line is you better not ignore it. We're gonna talk about adding insulation. Now, let me ask you before we go any further, because this is where I get to ask dumb questions and I love it.
Okay, I love it. Is there a big.
Difference between trying to insulate an older home compared to a relatively newer home.
Oh yeah, there's a real big difference. I mean usually when we think, or at least even when I think about instlating a home, I think of a you know, two story house, and you got a little cross space up there where you can get into the attic and you insulate the floor of the attic and you're done.
And all houses aren't constructed that way. I mean, we've got balloon foundations, we got the old cape CODs, But generally, what we're trying to do is create a buffer between the air and the attic and the air in your home, which you're paying to condition, so they're not all the same, but the principle is pretty much the same, that's for sure.
Okay, okay.
And one of the things been bugging me is, you know, it's been bugging everybody the price of energy. This year. I've heard more complaints I've ever ever had about the price energy. And the other day when I was doing a show, it dawned on me. It's like, well, we're all whining about it. I wonder what everybody's doing about it.
Well, you know, it's interesting here. I heard a long pot and I don't listen to many podcasts, but I was struck by this one because you know, everybody wants to do and I don't care what side of the political fenchu're on, but clearly, during the Biden administration they were not for drilling, fossil fuze, et cetera, et cetera. Okay, so we fell behind compared to where we were during
Trump's first term. Now he wants to go back in the adage, right, drill, baby, drill, But it takes time for them to get that oil and gas.
True.
And so that's the reason, as I understand it, why there's a chance or that's the reason why we have higher energy prices now.
But let's get back to installation. Yeah.
I'm gonna let me add one thing too, Tom, because that's the oil side of things, and one of the things that's driving the prices on electricity is the demand for electricity with all this AI.
That it takes these.
Computers so much energy, no kidding, and that's driving it up too. Yeah. I mean yeah, search that and read it. It's fascinating.
I will check it out for sure.
Okay, if you're looking at insulation, okay, what type are you looking for? Is that pretty and is this pretty much straight across the board?
Well, there's different types of insulation, and people will ask that question a lot. If it's a you know, standard house, there's probably a chance on the attic floor they've got blown in fiberglass insulation, or they got fiberglass batting insulation, or they got cellulose. Some of the newer homes now are starting to use phones. But I tell people all the time, first of all, you or somebody has got to get up in the attic and see what you got.
I think some people, and I've encouraged people to do that, are shocked. They get up in the attic and with their yardstick, and they got five inches five inches of insulation on the floor. And in our area, Tom, we should probably have about sixteen to eighteen inches, no kidding, Yeah, yeah. So if you're using fiberglass for an R value, Department of Energy says about an R forty two and one inch of fiberglass blown in insulation gives you about an R two point five. You know, do the math quickly
and you're probably around sixteen eighteen inches. And they literally find five inches of insulation. So I tell people, I don't care what you use in that addic but if you've got five inches of insulation, if you're gonna do it yourself, fine, do a little research. I really, you know, fiberglass is fine. Cellular settles a little bit more than fiberglass, but it's fine. Putting batting on top of batting, you
can do that. You can go perpendicular so that you cover any you know, where it butts up against the joice. Don't use two vapor barriers. There's probably a vapor barrier down at the bottom top. So what I'm saying is, if you use batting, don't use it where it's got the paper casing over it. Just use the plane batting
or blow insulation in there. But you know, if you only got three inches of insulation or five inches of insulation, and you get it up to eighteen inches, the difference you're gonna feel and here your house will be quieter, it'll certainly be warmer, it won't be as drafty. So you know, whatever insulate was something. There's even blue gene insulation, I mean.
Blue What the hell is blue jean install? Ground up blue jeans? What it's ground up denim? You're kidding me.
No, this is for real, this is for real, ground up blue jeans.
How about that you wondered where all your jeans went?
Oh my god, Well, now I know I have somewhere to go donate them. There you go, there we go.
All right, Well, now what of the biggest mistakes we can make, because you can make a mistake on this stuff and then all of a sudden it wasn't worth all the hassle that you went through, Right.
Well, that's true.
In fact, you gotta again. It gets into the era that your house was the First thing you want to do is you want to make sure if you have old electric system. There's something called knob and tube wiring and it's porcelain insulators with wires. You can't insulate over that. That creates heat. So, you know, just make sure you don't have any weird looking wiring, not like that wiring we're used to looking at. And if you do, don't
insulate or get somebody in there to check that out. Uh. The other thing is around the whole perimeter of the attic. I think we talked about this a few weeks ago. We were talking about SOFID ventilation. Was it you that told me you had the softs but you didn't have any ventilation?
I know, what't me but a bunch.
But if you're up in the attic in the daytime and you look around the perimeter, you may see some cardboard shoots that are going up and bringing the air from just below the gutters into the attic.
It's called convection.
It's cooler temperatures at the lowest area, forcing the hot air out of the ridge vent or little shoe box vents on the roof. And a lot of times those cardboard shoots aren't there or people aren't paying attention, and they're up there blowing insulation on the attic floor and they cover those vents up, which is a huge and no, no wow, okay, because it's not going to really hurt you. Well, it will hurt you in the winter, but not as much as it's going to hurt you in the summertime.
All of a sudden, you put insulation on the floor to save money, but your attic temperature is now one hundred and fifty degrees because you don't have any air inflow into that attic. So those are the two most most common mistakes, probably covering up the soft inventing around the perimeter for sure.
Okay, and the last thing I asked you this at the very start, But I want to circle back for a minute, because there are a lot of people around here that are living in older homes. We've got a lot of beautiful older homes or you know, start off homes for a lot of people that have kind of been redone. You know, in recent years in certain areas, a lot of older homes have no insulation in the walls. Does that mean that insulation does it settle over time or what We didn't.
Put insulation in walls till about nineteen seventy seven, You're kidding, no, sir, When we went into the gas crisis, the old crisis, during Carter, they never put insulation in walls. Now, the Department of Energy in our area says we should have an R nineteen in the walls of our home. Well, kind of too late to a degree. I mean the walls already made.
But well when you say that too late, you mean there's nowhere to get in there. It's a brick home, and there's just nothing that you just can't shoot it in there.
Right, you can shoot it in there, but it's too late to fact to get into an R nineteen because remember our little theory with what in our value is, you know, So there's a space in there. Sometimes it's an inch, sometimes it's an inch and a half. But there's companies out there that can you know, if it's a vinyl siding, clip to vinyl siding off, if it's wood, drill through the wood. If it's brick, drow into the brick, and they can hit the pockets of the house and
under pressure, pump a foam in there. And it's a closed cell phone, so it has a water vapor barrier in there, and they pump it in there and on the foam per inch of thickness. It's about an R seven.
So well, I mean it's better nothing, right.
Better than nothing?
You know what?
The real big benefit is there since it's under pressure, it seals all the gaps. It totally eliminates drafts, and that's what's making young.
Yeah, and that's where you're spending your money. Yes, sir, Okay, you know you're you're the man I trace. I mean you know, I mean, you really are. I mean, you get you get two hundred and seventy five stations. You're the kind of guy that the rest of us dream of becoming two hundred and six five stations.
And your boss is coming in today, so you'd be good. Okay, who is and your wife coming in?
She's already here there you go.
Yeah, I mean she's sitting here and she's, you know, on her phone and you know you right, yeah, I mean she's bored with this radio show already. Gary, whenever bored with your show though, Little Era Saturdays and Sundays on fifty five KRC nine to noon.

It's horse riding and jumping competitions at kilpinger Field and Immian Hell Saturday. It starts at like nine thirty. But there, I guess you can you agree with them here Tail Gaves. I picture a raffle Wren commercial. I feel like there's blankets and you know, blankets and the picnic. Because there's competition, you're gonna win awards for your display.
I guess, well, people buy basically, you know, they have a tent and you can buy it where it's set up in a row around the entire thing out in this open field and you can decorate your little area where you're having drinks and food and so.
Yeah, there is some of that. But I got to tell you, and I was shocked. We've been to this event.
A couple of times because we have good friends that are really a big part of it, have been for a long time. But we went to the big one down in Lexington last spring and my picture was the same thing in my mind that you're just talking about that it's a bunch of rich people, it's a bunch of snobs and you know, and it's like a Ralph Floyd.
Nothing could be further from the truth. You just get a lot of people that love horses, that love the beauty of horses, watching these horses jump and run through these fields. It's a really nice mixed crowd.
Okay, good, Yeah, I love it. Yeah, because I say there's a VIP area, but it's also expected to come and watch it all.

I got you, I got you? Okay, that's cool, Okay, all right?
Yeah?
Well, so I always asked you what is your lineup of events? Because I have no doubt you're starting on a Thursday night. Where's poll going? Since I gotta leave? Where's she going with you?
