It’s summer time and we all like to stay cool and yet save money. Listen to my friend Jeremy and me discuss six money-saving tips for keeping your home and yourself cool in the hot weather.

* Leave the refrigerator open

* Turn on the oven and leave it open

* Place ice cubes around the house—I rewrote my note on this one! You have to listen to understand why

* Upgrade CRTs and old TVs to flat-panels

* Install mist-makers or leave the showers running on cold water instead

* Buy a pool

Special thanks to those who hung out in the Ustream chatroom as we tried to broadcast live:

* D.G. Hollums from The Guys Podcast, Generally Speaking About the Church, and on Twitter

* My new friend from Podcamp Ohio, Doctor Anonymous, also on Twitter

* And some others who gave up when we were having problems, or who stayed and may not want to be named
