Want the latest money in business news, then open your ears and enjoy. This is the Bloomberg Money Minute on seven hundred WLW.
Already genis Cervetti with us this morning and Bloomberg here a global food giant cutting thousands of jobs.
Tell me about it, well, Steve, this is Nesle. They planned to cut sixteen thousand jobs. The food giant said these cuts them out to about six percent of the workforce. Now, Nesley's third quarter sales did rise and beat expectations. The gains were driven in part by the higher prices that we're paying at the store. Nesley makes everything from candy to pet food to coffee, but it's looking at cutting costs and selling underperforming units under a new CEO.
Steve already in Canada, of all places, threatening legal action against a major car maker.
Yeah, Canada has threatened legal action against Stilantis after the carmaker announced it's canceling plans to make the Jeep Compass SUV in Ontario. Instead, it's moving that production to Illinois, and Canada's industry minister said she would consider Stilantis in default in light of government support extended to the carmaker.
Already less than ninety minutes from the start of the market.
What are you seeing?
Well? Right now it's looking like a higher Wall Street open down, futures up forty seven s and B futures up twenty and Nasdaq futures are up one seventeen from Bloomberg. Gina Servetti on news radio seven hundred WLW.
Thanks Gina.
It's eight eleven on seven hundred WLW, Thursday morning. I always get to talk to Gary Sullivan on Tom Burnaman Show, our National Home Improvement Expert Saturdays and Sunday mornings and fifty five KRC. Gary Sullivan, Good morning. How are you more than Steve?
How are you doing?
I'm still here and I get to talk to you, so my day is even better.
We'll put you to over there you go.
It's fall, it's autumn, it's.
It's chili that time of year, getting jul What projects should we be looking at around our home this time of year?
You know a lot of.
Times, Steve, we start talking about all these big projects like we do in a kitchen or a bathroom and stuff.
But there's there's a there's hundreds of little.
Tiny things you can do this time of year that will kind of really help you out, maybe save you some money. Uh, maybe you have a little healthier environment inside our home during a cold winter months. And the first one would be something as simple as changing the filter on your furnace. That's easy, it's so easy, but I always have to talk about it because people I still talk to people, they go like.
There's a filter. Yeah, there's a filter. And there's all different kinds too.
So the just flat type filter inexpensive, less than a buck, change them every thirty days. Depleted filters every ninety days, and.
There's even degrees.
They're called MERV ratings on how how how big of particles they filter out. You can get a nerve reading of about fourteen, which actually filter out viruses. They also have some a little bit of a drawback too, and in terms of decreasing the airflow through the home.
So maybe when it gets below.
Zero you switch that out to just a regular five dollars pleated filter every ninety days. MERV rating about a five or six does a great job, bottom line, change it all right.
I'm almost afraid to ask, but what is going on for people who aren't changing their filter?
Well, what happens? That's a great question too. It just restricts all the airflow because the filter's clogged. So you're restricting the airflow. You can't satisfy the thermostat Okay, So what happens is your furnace works harder, harder and doesn't shut down. So it's costing you a ton of money. It's also not real good on the furnace itself. All right,
what I gutter clean out. Look at all those beautiful leaves, they're all going to end up on your roof, you're lawn and in your gutters and going into winter time or whenever there's snow, ice, rain, you want all that water move around away from the foundation. Everybody talks about it, not all of us do anything about it. But I'd like to take it a step further. Once the leaves have fallen, you get those gutters cleaned out, Let's get a hose up there and run the water down the
down spout. And if you have a connected to a pipe that takes the water underground, make sure that water's coming out the other side of the pipe. A lot of times they're clogged. Also a lot of times the pipe's broken, it's crushed. So you'll really learn a lot of just putting a hose down the down spout and making sure the water's getting to the other side.
All right, I was going to ask you about the torn weather stripping doors and thresholds. I gotta do this from the garage going into the house. But how important is that torn weather stripping.
Well, you know, if you got kids, probably got torn weather stripping.
They love to pick at the foam and the vinyl and all.
That, but even over time they wear, they split, they crack. Very important because if it's not a tight seal and you have one of those lovely Cincinnati days of you know, like twelve degrees in the morning, shouldn't that far off that air is coming in your home and that's costing you money. And I don't know about you, but I've been a little startled by the energy bill the last
couple of months. So anything we can do to kind of seal things up around the sides of the doors, at the top of the doors, the bottom of the door, if that weather stripping is torn or missing, and you can see daylight, you know, a sunny day right now coming through there, there's like door sweeps that can be screwed right onto the door itself. And our vinyl flap would meet the threshold or the floor, and then even the threshold where the door sits. There's usually a little.
Rubble rubber vinyl bulb.
That goes across. Those are usually replaceable. You can just pull them out. There's about six different styles. Take them to the hardware storing, get a new one.
And you're talking seals there. What about the garage door seal? Is that important this time?
You hear it?
Yeah?
What was last time you changed yours?
When some varmint got in my garage and shooting that he sewed his way out exactly and that's why you want to change him.
That's exactly right.
Good again, Just take a quick look and see, you know, I mean, they get brittle, they get torn, varmints eat them, mice get in the house, and it's a really you know, it's it's a good thing to pay attention to. The one really neat thing is clope garage doors use the same seal they've used since the thirties.
Wow, And that's not really hard to change, isn't It's not?
I mean it's very very simple, but it can be difficult. Sometimes it requires a requires a couple pair of hands to keep it straight. Wipe that track down real good. You might even get like a hair iron, warm up that vinyl seal just to get it supple where you can slide it in their little silicon spray it gonna hurt you it all either.
Well, while we're talking about garage doors, what about lubricating the tracks or the.
Yeah, the door.
Yeah, you know, garage doores breakdown during highs and lows. So in the middle of the summer in July went is real hot. In the middle of January when it's blow zero, that's usually when they start having problems. And of course lubrication of the wheels that ride in the track. That that's really key. The problem is is people use all kinds of things in those tracks. They use grease, which is a total one percent. No, no, they use like a real real refined oil. No, not gonna last
very long. Get a rag mineral spirits, Wipe the track down real good, and get like a silicone there's a brand Blaster lubricants. They have actual garage door lubricant which is kind of a silicone teflon combo, and just spray the track, move it up and down, and you only got to do it maybe twice a year doing them, you know, you know, like right now, be perfect, Yeah,
and then next spring would be the second time. And keep it lubricate after you do the tracks and the wheels, make sure you do the hinges the spring.
Just lubricate up.
It'll be quieter too, so you'll get added benefits there.
All right, a couple more.
We're talking to Gary Sullivan, national home improvement Expert, Saturday Sunday mornings fifty five. Care see this time of year, and I usually do this when the time changes in a couple of weeks, test the smoke to protector and carbon monoxide detector.
Yeah.
I always wonder how many people really do that. They just hear it because we do it every year. We tell people to do it. But you know a smoke detector is good for ten years. Yeah, yeah, how many people really date those? Many people really pay attention to them. It's one of those things. It's like insurance, right, yep.
You only need it when you need it, but change it.
Changing the batteries at twice a year is absolutely it's good with the time change.
It just reminds sure. Sure, I'm not discounting that fact at all, but yeah. In fact I do. I do mine in the fall. I do it once a year, yeah, but once it's better or none. And some of these batteries, now they left a long time use an inexpensive cheap batteries. You know, twice a year was fine, But how she used some of these new age batteries. I'm telling them once a year is plenty. But make sure that it works. There's a test button on there. If it doesn't work,
it's probably dirty. You can take off the face plate of that, take your vacuum and just vacuum the dust out of it. If it's over ten years old, replace it.
Absolutely and get some professional to do it so you don't mess it up. Hey, Gary, thanks so much for talking to us.
You bet you.
Tom will be back next Thursday to talk to you.
Gary Sullivan this morning on seven hundred WLW, thanks so much. It's coming up on eight twenty now. Chuck Ingram's in here, Chuck looking at traffic.

The best Bengals covery Rocky Tonight.
The Bengals take on the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday Night football. Pittsburgh is threatening to run away with the NFC North. They've won three consecutive games. I'm still not sure how good they are, so there's my question, how good.
Of the sea.
Look The last time is Steelers loss here at home or at the Bengals was twenty twenty one, so you always keep that in your head. I think you know they've obviously they have won three straight. So you pointed that they beat Minnesota, who absolutely boat raced the Bengals, so that's good. They're number two in the NFL and sacks, number two in takeaways. So do I think they're a
dominant team that's going to go on a Super Bowl run? No, But I think they have the pieces, and I think they have the mindset that just you know, the Mike tomlin Way have just grind out some victories, and you have a quarterback who's has more experience than Joe Flacco, So you know, you add all those things together and I think they're again, not not a world beater type of team, but but I think they are a good team.
What do you think. I think they're.
Tough to play on a week to week basis. I do not take them seriously as bona fide championship contenders.
Yeah, yeah, and I think that's fair.
But yeah, we just this particular week, this Thursday night, is certainly a tough opponent.
