AINSLEY EARHARDT (CO-HOST): That is Nahant Beach. It's in Massachusetts. It's going to be a beautiful day, 82 degrees.
BRIAN KILMEADE (CO-HOST): Another N word. Remember Narragansett yesterday.
EARHARDT: Oh yes, yes, yes. No rain until Sunday. So enjoy if you're living in that area. It's a maritime community, obviously. There's someone on the beach.
STEVE DOOCY (CO-HOST): Well, listen, if I was up there, I'd be out on the beach today as well because it's going to be sweltering throughout the Northeast. And that could actually be the same weather — we know it's going to be the same weather here. We are going to be approaching a hundred here in our world headquarters by the end of the week on this Wednesday, July 20, '22. Come on, Dave — come on over. We're running out of weather. So anyway, wherever you are, be cool.
EARHARDT: Be cool.
DOOCY: Be cool.
EARHARDT: Brian, be cool.
KILMEADE: I will say this: Don't panic. It is summer. You know, if it was December and this was happening, then I would say, this is a little weird. But it's just a little bit hotter than usual.
DOOCY: But never let a crisis go to waste. So if it's really hot today, today would be a great day to talk about global climate change.
