Money money.
Here's a little something that could help your money when farmer. This is the Boomberg Money Minute on seven hundred WLW.
Alrighty, we say good morning once more to Gina Servetti from the Bloomberg newsroom in New York City. Hershey's latest results come out showing the chocolate lovers will satisfy those cravings. Gina, even a bid higher prices.
Oh yeah, and I have to admit I'm among those chocolate list girl willing to pay for my favorite snack, and that is giving Hershey a big boost. Tom The company raised its full year outlook thanks too higher prices boosting its performance. Of course, it has its namesake chocolates, but it's also famous for Reese's peanut butter cups. And now Hershey's sees full year sales up three percent. That's
an improvement from what it saw before. The company raised its prices by double digits in July because cocoa prices have been through the roof. And I'm gonna bet there will be plenty of Hershey's chocolate bars and reeses that will be going home with tricker treaters.
To wh Yeah. Tomorrow night, one of the major music labels. Meanwhile, surprisingly, I guess has reached a settlement with an AI powered music startup.
Yes, this is Universal Music and the startup is called Udio. They're settling a copyright lawsuit a Universal artists, who include Taylor Swift and Elton John will be compensated by the settlement. Last year, Universal and other labels sued Udo and another AI music startup, alleging the companies we're unlawfully training their
AI models on copyrighted recordings. Now, Universal and Udo say they'll collaborate on a new subscription based music creation and streaming service for fans, and the new agreements for recorded music and publishing will also mean more revenue opportunities for artists and songwriter are songwriters okay?
And the futures overall this morning, genis aurvetting. Well, they're still a little bit lower here.
They've been fluctuating a little bit recently, but right now the Dow futures are down one hundred and fifty six, SMP futures are down five, and the Nasdaq futures are down eighteen from Bloomberg Genas Saretti on News Radio seven hundred WLW.
All right, it's eight ten. Good morning to you on this Thursday morning, October, the thirtieth year of our lower twenty twenty five. I always love this segment with Gary Sullivan. Of course, you can listen to him two hundred stations, two hundred seventy five stations nationwide, but locally right here on fifty five KRC Saturdays and Sundays nine eight to twelve.
Pyoloso has his podcast every month. I mean, he is a man everywhere, and I love having him on because he tells us about stuff that I think all of us can relate to if you are a homeowner, home renter, whatever the case may be. Gary, good morning. Nice. Have you back. We missed you last week.
Yeah, yeah, I missed you the week before, so it's been a couple of weeks.
Okay. Look, you pose the question when you and I were emailing back and forth about this, and you asked the question. You said, if you had been in a house for a while and you have kids, you probably have a few holes and dings and dens in the wall. I know I got them absolutely everywhere in that basement. We basically let it turn into a you know, just chaos down there. I mean, we have a basketball hoop down there, you know, one of those old nerve things,
you know. But I mean they'd have these battle royals down there and knocking guys in the wall. We put up a like an old gym matt against a wall to cover up over the holes. But sooner or later, Gary, I got to address these things, right, Yeah, that's for sure.
But your house doesn't sound any stranger than any other house. I mean we all have, you know, whether it's the doorknob that goes through the drywall, whether it's just things and dens. So I thought we'd talked a little bit about patching them, because sometimes when you see a hole in drywall or even plaster, you just look at that and you go like, how am I going to patch it?
Right?
It's it's hollow, so you know, one of the old style ways of doing it. It's still very effective, doesn't really cost you much at all. Is So let's say it's let's say it is a door knob. Okay, so what's that about inch and a quarter inch and a half somewhere in circumference there and uh, diam what I mean? And to patch that you got to create a backing behind it. So what I'd do is I take go up and get yourself a little paint stick from the
hardware store and a little constructionhesive. A lot of construction adhesive basically works great on wood, works great on drywall. And they have a construction adhesive that is fast grab in other words, you don't have to clamp it. So here's what you do, Tom, take that. Take that little paint paddle, seven inch paint paddle. If you need to cut it down to three inches, fine, whatever. Put a little dollup of a construction adhesive on one side, a
little doll up on the other side. Before you do that, drill hole in the center and tie a little piece of string in there.
All right, you see where I'm going, I see where you're going.
And you slide that little paint paddle in there, kind of put position it around, and then pull the paint paddle up against the back side of the wall. Heck, you can tie it to the door knob or tie it to a dresser and just stay away for an hour or so.
It drives very quickly.
And now you got up backing. Yeah, I mean, so we can go ahead and make that patch. And you could use like a joint compound not to the pre mix. Get the one where you've got to mix it the powder. It actually cures red than dry, so it's a little It can dri in like forty five minutes, like standing prime in paint. That's one way of doing it. But that sounds a little complicated. Done.
This vary to me, but thank you for reminding me. Yet. Well, I did the Brenneman grade on this, Amen, Amen, all about that curve, Gary Sullivan.
I made the Brenneman grade last night, and I thought, now, let's just show the progression of how you can patch that. There's also a thin metal plate and I mean maybe the thickness of say.
Three pieces of paper. Okay, it's got an adhesive on the back.
It's got little tiny holes in it, and you can take that plate and stick it right over the hole.
Now we're talking, yeah, now you're talking, all right, all right, we're getting that Brenniman grade. Goald, Yes, thanks, all right. Now I want to get to though, And look, I could be wrong on this, but I think most of us, if we've let this kind of stuff go on in a certain room or in a basement or whatever it might be, there's a good chance you do have some holes in the drywall? Okay, Now I look in there, and like you said, you know it's nothing but hollow
back there. Right. So I mean for a total layman like myself, I'm sitting there going, how in the world am I going to fill in this hole when there's nothing behind it? I mean, at least that I can see, then I'm going to be able. You know what I'm saying. It just kind of like you were talking, how am I going to do? Walk me through how to fix a hole in the dry wall in my basement?
Well, like I said, the first one would be that that would a little plate behind there. Okay, Okay, that'll do it. But we can make it easier. Okay, I think that's what you're asking.
Yes, I am. The metal plate's adhesive on the back. You just put it over the hole and.
Then you can use your topping compound to skim coat over that metal plate. Now, it's not going to be perfect because remember the thickness that plays on the.
Outside of the walls.
Three pieces of paper thick, and so it's probably gonna show to a degree. Let me go to the next step. There's a company called Hide. They make a material it's it's almost like if you broke your arm and you were putting a cast on.
It's like a gauze.
It's impregnated with a compound that you'll take that gauze and that compounds impregnated in the gauge. You dip it in water and you put it over the hole, smear it all, smear it around. It hardens, so you got to base again on the outside. It's thinner than the metal plate, all right, okay, and then you take your joint compound and just smooth out that whole wall.
That's a little bit easier. Now. You could do it the Brenneman way. Actually, you know what, because most of the schleps out there are just like me, a common slept and we don't want to pay somebody to do it. And so okay, if we're going to try it, I do want to pay somebody to do it. But if I try it, yeah, let's break it down. Call it the Brenneman way.
Okay, I'll even call it the Sullivan way because little phrase I coined a long time ago, Tom was I'm.
All about easy. Yeah, there you go, all right.
You ever see in the hardware store, I know you just spent hours in hardware.
Hours I have this year, believe it or not. Fore stuff. But okay, good for you. There's a little bumper.
It's about the size of a half of a tennis ball. Okay, comes in white, comes in brown. It's an adhesive. You can take this quote we'll call the tennis ball. It's got an adhesive on it.
And guess what you do. Just put it over the hole.
There you go, and when the door swings open next time, it's not going through the drywall.
Yeah, I dig that tennis ball out of the bottom down by the floor on the bath side of it up.
It's it's gonna be bigger than that hole that was designed to basically cover up holes from a doorknob going through the drywall.
I mean, they got you covered here, brother, You know what they do. All right. I want to ask you about one other thing, all kay, and that is a water stain in my ceiling. Oh yeah, okay, So we had one of those recently, had a bathtub from the first floor leaked down in into the basement, okay, and it got into the light area. And because you know, electrical water, et cetera, et cetera, we had an expert come in. Well, let's just say that we had a
water stain, say in the basement ceiling. Okay, what do we do about? Can I just paint it?
Well, that's what a lot of people do, and the answer is probably shouldn't do that, okay, because what will happen is water stains, ink tar, anything like that will bleed through regular paint.
So you get up there and you'll paint that thing.
About two months later, you're gonna look at that and say, man, I still see that water stain. So what you gotta do is you got to get a stain blocking primer, and not necessarily a water based one, almost a solvent based one. Kills is a brand name that a lot of people recognize, but Kills makes a whole line of primers. You want to solvent based stain blocking primer that'll set that stain and then you can paint over it. There's
another one called bin primer Seiler. Always use the stain blocking primer before you even do that, though, or you can do that right away if you want. But somebody, really, if you can get to the other side of the say ceiling, maybe in an attic or something like that, they're just kind of inspected.
You know.
Obviously you found what the source of the water was, you took care of it. That's all great. But you know, sometimes you find a source of the water and you had that, you know, taken care of. But there's mold up there, and you really should take care of the mold. Fill the mold out colony because it goes dormant. But those spores are still there. But you got to use the stain blocking primer. Yeah, I mean that mold stuff. Man, you're talking about serious, serious stuff.
There's no doubt about it. I mean, that's the very health of your family that could be.
At risk, right, And some people are really really more susceptible to that versus other people. So you really, you know, you got to stop the wall. You gotta find the source. You got to use the stained blocking primer to bring the cosmetics back to the ceiling, that's for sure.
Okay. Gary, it's always great having you with us, my friend. I hope you have a great weekend, and thank you for your time and expertise and a new grating curve. There you go. We'll bring that up again next week. Amen. Amen. Gary Sullivan at Home with Gary Sullivan. He's on two hundred and seventy five stations across the country. But guess what, he's the Cincinnati guy and you can hear him right here on fifty five KRC, our sister station Saturdays and

Flavor and it's it's worth a try.
I'll tell you that there's a new little it's called Little Macha. The This couple's been popping up over town now. They have a place in Covington and the machas are so pretty and they put different colors in it and that. But the line's been down the street, so I would go during the week on that line a few months ago.
And then Cobblestone, the bar in the corner in OTR by Washington Park, they're doing a pop up Halloween, so they have spooky cocktails and they have some fun Halloween vibes in there to some places to check out.
So Cobblestone is new.
No, Cobblestone is not new Halloween.

If you were going to say, and they're going to be going back to back to back to back, et cetera, what would you consider to be the headline act of that group?
