Remember when it was impossible to misplace the TV remote
because you were the TV remote. Remember when music sounded
like this, Remember when social media was truly social?

Speaker 2 (00:17):
Hey John, how's it going today? Cool?

Speaker 1 (00:20):
This show is all about you on the goode. This
is fifty plus with Doug Pike. Helpful information on your finances,
good health, and what to do for fun. Fifty plus
brought to you by the UT Health Houston Institute on
Aging Informed Decisions for a healthier, happier life. And now

(00:43):
fifty plus with Doug Pike.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
All right, here we go. Welcome to the first Tuesday
of well, this first Tuesday of every week or Tuesday
is the first to you get it. A lot to
unpack around here. Leading off and playing center field. The
orange blob that's on the National Hurricane Center's map way
out there, and I do mean way out there in

(01:07):
the Atlantic Ocean. Nothing to see yet aerin the one
that is closer. That is the real deal hurricane that's
going to skirt the Eastern seaboard for the next week
or so. And you know it's they're not going to
get the worst of Aaron's wind, but they are going

(01:27):
to see along the East coast all the way up,
a lot of rain, some significant title surge, and that
is going to trigger horrific rip current which is now
if I heard yesterday, if I heard correctly, riptide is
being is at fault. Officially, when the documentation's being done

(01:53):
of someone who's succumbed to the coastal rough waters. Title
sur urge has lost its top spot to rip currents
and a title surge ripped title surge. We know it's coming.
We know the wind is going to push water up
inshore into the bays, directly up the beach and whatnot,

(02:19):
and you can get away from that. Most times, rip
currents are a different animal, and they occur even in
water that appears pretty calm. You've got a really heavy
tidle flow somewhere. Rip current can just knock your feet
out from under you on the bottom. That's one of
the reasons there are signs around San Luis Pass to

(02:40):
keep people absolutely positively out of the water. I used
to fish down there a lot and quick sidebar if
you wade it out more than about knee deep as
San Luis Passed, when the tide was at maximum movement
in or out, you could feel the same and just

(03:01):
washing away from beneath your feet, and you could. We
were just fanatical about it and fascinated by it, my
fishing buddies and I and we would just kind of
stand there and watch as the water, as the sand
went away from beneath our feet, the water on our
shins and knees was coming up, and it got a

(03:24):
little spooky sometimes, it really did. It got a little spooky.
I know one guy that got washed out into the
Gulf because he took one too many steps into San
Luis Pass when there was a really strong outgoing tide,
and he was smart enough and aware enough not to
try to fight his way back to where he had
gone into the water and gotten swept away. But he

(03:47):
just bobbed and floated and stayed calm, and once he
got pushed out to the beach front, was able to
swim to shore. He was pretty strong swimmer and old
surfing buddy many many years ago. Crazy stuff. Speaking of
bad weather, thunderstorms weld into the night yesterday and there

(04:08):
was even some hail in the Greater Houston area, some
of it. Gordon John Eittman from Country Boys Roofing, he
heard there was some of it that was like quarter
to almost golf ball size. So if you don't know
whether you got that last night, or you don't know
where all the hell was, do some research, and if
you think there's any issues with your roof, by all means,

(04:29):
get him out there to take a look, because you
don't want a little thing to become a big thing.
He called me about an hour and a half ago
to make sure I knew that we'd had hal yesterday
in this in this region anyway, So you know it.
We're gonna have these pop ups like this, and some
of them are going to generate hale probably for the

(04:52):
next at least oh gosh, it looks forty five maybe
sixty days. I don't know. We're just in this real
weird patch right now where the weather we're getting is
going to be the same for at least through the
end of this week too. You got to find out
whether that roof got dinged up. All sorts of pop
up storms. At least a fifty percent chance of rain

(05:13):
through Friday. By the way, keep your eyes open, so
and keep Country Boy's number in your phone. If you
don't have one, get one, not the phone. Everybody's got
one of those. Soon you get an inspection really after
one of those little ice ball pitter patters on the roof,
the better, because if they've created some sort of minor damage,

(05:37):
it's still damage and it needs to be fixed before
we get a real, a real blow that can expose
all the uglies. Looking at the markets, Nasdaq took a
dive earlier and was down more than a full point.
The DAL tried to slump, but had rebounded a couple
of hours ago, and I didn't get in here in
time to catch the Fox update on the markets, but

(05:59):
they were, according to what I think I heard, kind
of bouncing up and down. All of it. Gas or
oil more specifically, which becomes gasoline in some instances, was
not doing much. Neither was gold, So I don't know
if there's that much to look at, no reason to
sound any alarms there. Onward, we tried, I'm gonna hold

(06:23):
that for a minute, also going to hold that, and
that so what I want to do here. Then I'm
gonna go over to something good because I've only got
about a minute left. You ever played rock paper scissors?
Will that's? Well, yeah, I know you have. You don't
even have to raise a thumb for that. If a

(06:43):
million people played rock paper scissors in some sort of
a tournament. It would only take about twenty rounds to
determine the winner. A million people. And it's quick math.
It's simple math. All I gotta do is just divide,
take whatever number you want and divide to the whole
entire population of the earth could play, and that would

(07:06):
be decided, according to the story I read, by just
thirty three games, there would be a winner thirty three games,
and we would have eliminated everybody but that winner. By
the way, the Cambridge Dictionary is adding a bunch of
new words in terms. If I get a chance, I'll
explain some of that later. Most of it is nothing

(07:27):
that my audience needs to learn, how to spell, how
to use in a sentence, none of that, because they
are all just skibbety all the way. Oh good, look
at this. I get to tell you more about country
boys roofing, as John is proactive in trying to help
people who need help with their roofs, and insomuch as

(07:48):
that he made that phone call to me this morning.
He said, Hey, I don't know if you heard it
or not, And I hadn't, he said, but there was
this significant hale issue around somewhere around Houston. I'm not
sure exactly where, and if it hit your house, you
probably need to get looked at, get him out there
for an inspection before one of those really ugly blobs

(08:10):
in the ocean decides it wants to head our way.
Country boys will never ask you for any money up front,
And if anybody, any roofer does ask you that for
money up front, just tell them no, thanks and call John.
They offer fifteen hundred dollars this dollar discount on complete
roofs for first responders, for teachers, and active duty military.

(08:32):
I think anybody, actually, I think veterans also qualify for
that discount. If I'm not mistaken, he'll let me know.
And even if you're not any of those things, you
can still get one thousand dollars off of a full
roof just by dropping my name. And no, you can't
stack them. Country Boys roofing Country with a K, Boys
with a Z in the millennial gen z spelling, or

(08:56):
you can just use good old fashioned boomer spelling right out.
Countryboysroofing dot Com the way you did it in elementary school,
and it'll take you to the same website. Great people
they'll take care of that mess up on your roof
if you have one, and if you don't have one,
they won't sell you something you don't need. Countryboys at
roofing dot Com. Yeah, they sure don't make them like

(09:18):
they used to. That's why every few.

Speaker 1 (09:19):
Months we wash them, check his fluids, and spring on
a fresh coat of wax. This is fifty plus with Dougpike.

Speaker 2 (09:28):
So on, where we trod into the abyss that is
in so many cases now Democrat logic. Okay, At a
time when the state of Illinois is drowning in debt,
just drowning in debt, it's Governor JB. Pritzker has signed

(09:49):
into law a bill that's going to provide financial aid
to anyone who lives in his state, regardless of their status,
regardless of who they are, where they came from, when
they got here, what they're doing here, and all he's
doing is laying a foundation to keep him in office

(10:11):
in Illinois and as a sort of a test balloon
maybe to see if Americans are going to like or
hate that idea, because he's got visions, they say, of
running for president in twenty twenty eight. I'm not voting
for somebody who destroys their own state by taking care

(10:32):
of people who aren't Americans before they take care of
every American in their state. That's messed up. Even if
they lost their shirts back in November, even as more
Americans rediscover their voices and say enough enough, the left
took a whipping and they know it, and they're hauling

(10:52):
out everything they can to try to regain something. And
what this guy trying is the provision of financial aid,
and it's especially college money. That's what most of the
story talked about because they claim, you know, young people
deserve an education. Well, yeah, we all do, but we

(11:13):
all can't pay for it because college is out of
control expensive right now for the ROI it delivers. And
what they're doing up there is they're gonna take your
money and they're gonna use it to and I'll wrap
it in quotes here. Educate anyone in Illinois who can
stand in line for free college tuition today and then

(11:36):
maybe for a free little for bread a few years
from now if they get their way. It's amazing how
how many of these people think that the bologna they
fed us for the last four years or more was
anything other than that. We figured it out. Now it's
not gonna work. There's Illinois congresswoman. Illinois Rep. Mary Miller

(12:01):
called Pritzker's idea absolutely shameful. Those were her words, which
is way more polite than I might have been. I'm
tired of handing money, No excuse me. I'm tired of
them handing money and services to people who are not
here legally, when millions of Americans don't have any chance

(12:22):
of accessing those same dollars and services and benefits that
are being provided to people who snuck in under the
cover of darkness. That's just, that's so contrary to what
this country was founded on. It was a lot of
immigrants helped make this country what it was. A lot

(12:44):
of immigrants did that, but they did it the right way.
They came through legally, they followed the laws of this land.
They they took tests to prove that they knew this
country's history a little bit, and they were proud they
They didn't see being an American as something that was

(13:04):
owed to them. They didn't feel like when they got
here they were going to just get everything handed to them.
They recognized the importance and value of hard work, and
that's what made so many of them successful, and the
ones who weren't crazy successful. Still most of them wound

(13:25):
up way better than where they had come from because
their countries couldn't offer the opportunity to work really hard
and have that hard work rewarded. Very frustrating. Listen to
some of these people talk about how someone who is
not here the right way is entitled somehow to more

(13:50):
than people who have lived here their entire lives. They
took their first breath in this country, and suddenly the
people who are from here don't have nearly what the
people who just waltzed in. It bothers me, it really does.

(14:14):
It bothers me on the good news side really quickly.
A short story. Firefighters in Florida saved a dog from
a canal, and there are thousands of canals in Florida.
Who knows where it was? Bottom line is, though, turns
out I guess maybe the dog was chipped, Maybe maybe
somebody knew, somebody knew somebody, whatever it was. The family

(14:38):
that lost that dog had been looking for that dog
for six years, not six weeks, six months, six years.
And nice reunion for the fam. From yet another crossroad
down the path toward progress or destruction. Broadwayte latest distortion

(15:00):
of the truth is is Oh Mary, And that's the
story supposedly of Mary Todd Lincoln, who is portrayed in
this production as a raging alcoholic and her husband, President
Abraham Lincoln. Well, in this production, our former president is
portrayed as an evil, gay transsexual. Those are That's their words,

(15:25):
not mine. And this bit of revisionist history was actually
fawned over this past weekend on Good Morning America. If
you're gonna write fiction, write fiction and call it fiction.
If you're gonna write facts, then present the facts as
accurately as historically possible. The left is. Here's the deal.

(15:49):
The Left's gotten away with breaking and bending and shattering
the truth for so long that they've become a party
of people who will believe anything so long as they
hear it from one of their own. And I could, boy,
we could spend days months talking about the mistruth, the misinformation,

(16:14):
the untrue, all all these words that they've used to
disguise what they're saying, when it's just garbage, really most
of it, it really is. It's very sad. I don't
know how in the world this, this country of ours,
has gotten that far down, but it's coming back. That's
the good news. And I'm not gonna just I'm just

(16:35):
gonna not gonna just dump a bunch of bad stuff
on you and tell you it's not being corrected. Even
even the left, even CN and n CNN has had
some nice things to say about President Trump lately. I
never thought I'd see that. I never I never even
dreamed i'd see that. But two things are happening. They
just can't continue to ignore the truth, to ignore the facts,

(17:00):
because the facts are getting to everybody in America, everybody
who wants to see them. And once they're exposed, then
the lies are even more plainly visible as what they are,
their lies. So off we go into a new realm

(17:22):
of transparency. And I guarantee you there's a bunch of
politics right now. It's sweating bullets, just sweating profusely over
the transparency that's probably going to land a bunch of
them in prison. They'll take them right from the pet
house to the outhouse in the blink of an eye,

(17:42):
because there's a lot of evidence that they're not going
to be able to turn into anything but evidence against them.
And this is going to be it's gonna be a
pretty sporty three or four years coming up here. I'll
guarantee you. Let's take a break, shall we. Let me
remind you again, since there's so much stuff going on

(18:05):
in the tropics, that you need to get those trees
here checked out by an arboris not by some guy
who's got a chainsaw and a ladder and a rope. No,
you need to get an arborist to your house, and
Champions Tree Preservation will do just that. They'll send one
of their arborists out there to take a look at
all your trees, make sure that they are going to survive,

(18:26):
just in case we do get one of those you
know what's from you know where coming down that you
know what street. Well, I've had a few of them
come out come down my street in the past thirty
something years i've lived out there. Champions Tree will let
you know. If all I got told my big oak trees,
I was kind of a little bit worried about them.
I didn't know, because I don't know trees. I was

(18:49):
worried about them, though, and I was told, no, they
just need some food. They'll be fine. We need to
feed them. Okay, let's get that done. Also, if you
have to take a tree out, if a tree is
just gone, they'll say, sorry, you really bought it. You
need to get this one out before we get a
big old storm because it could come tumbling down. Well,

(19:11):
if they do have to do that, first of all,
they own all the equipment, They have all the crews
to come out and handle that for you. And then
they also own a tree farm, so they can replace
that tree with another native Texas tree that you don't
have to worry about when it's a little bit dry,
you don't have to worry about when it's a little
bit wet, because that tree can take care of itself

(19:32):
with just a little tiny bit of help from you.

Speaker 1 (19:55):
This is fifty plus with Dougpike.

Speaker 2 (19:57):
Welcome back to fifty plus, Thanks for listening. Starting to
do a pre let's move down the road, shall we hear?
I've got another interesting story and this is only happening
at one location of Chick fil A in the entire country,
a store in Ohio, franchise in Ohio. What is the
name of that little town. I can't remember, It doesn't matter.

(20:21):
They're doing something that I think is kind of one
of those about time things, especially in a state run
by Democrats, and letting young people get away with anything
they want to do. Basically, there's a lot of that
going around up in DC, same kind of stuff, a
lot of that going around. So what they've done this

(20:43):
one franchisee kettering, I think is where it is. They've
let it be known that anyone seventeen or younger must
be accompanied by a parent, a guardian, or adult chaperone,
and that unaccompanied miners may be asked to leave. My

(21:05):
gut tells me this restaurant's going to do just fine
without the haters on social media who are saying, how
dare they do that? Why do they think all these
kids are bad? They never said that, and I'll make
sure it's I'll make sure to clear that up in
just a second. So my gut tells me that there

(21:28):
are punks, young punks, just like in a lot of
major cities, and a few smaller ones these days who
think they run things and that adults just can't do
anything to stop them because after all their kids, you know,
they're miners. You can't do anything to stop a minor. Well,
you can boot them out of your store. That is
perfectly within the law of almost, I'm presuming every state

(21:51):
in this country. If you don't want to serve somebody,
you don't have to serve somebody. And if they're in
there causing a ruckus and throwing catch up packets at
each other and making a lot of noise, then they
gotta go. Kind of like what's going on in Washington,
d C. Maybe, which which is exactly why our president

(22:12):
had to step in and be the grown up that
d C didn't have sidebar. By the way, for the
previous four years. It dawned on me earlier it seemed
like d C stood for don't care, because nobody there
wanted to put a stop to all the nonsense that's
been going on forever, and the botched attempt to claim

(22:37):
that crime was going down there just by not reporting
juvenile crime. That was cute, that was a that was
a clever trick, but nobody fell for it. We got
way too many people looking now to to take something
like that for granted. When somebody tells us crime is down,
we want to see all the statistics on all the crime.

(23:01):
If somebody tells us that there's a bumper crop of
oranges in Florida, somebody go count those oranges and tell
me how many they counted last year, and we can
talk about it. But there at least in that one
place where you can get up a pretty good chicken
sandwich or salad, or nuggets at milkshake, whatever you want,

(23:21):
you're not gonna have to worry about rowdy kids and
the policy. By the way, I promise to come back
to this, and I'm doing it now. It does not
say that no unaccompanied kids can come in. What it
says is that they may be asked to leave so
that the people who respect other people can eat their
waffle fries in peace. There's just we we've allowed some

(23:50):
very small groups of people in this country, very small
groups of people to pretty much run it for many,
many years, because the people in power would rather do
what the little group wants than have the little group
go up against them and get on social media and
stand on street corners and march through the streets and

(24:11):
block streets, and that's being less and less tolerated too.
If you have a plan this, if somebody invites you
this weekend to go hold hands and sit in the
middle of the interstate somewhere and block traffic, don't do
it in Texas. It probably will not work out well
for you. It probably won't. In case you missed it,

(24:32):
I may say this for the last segment. I think
I might. Here's some good news, because everybody likes good news.
And this is something, this is role model stuff that
we're not doing well with in this country. I'll be
the first to admit it. And it's something that is
not even tied to education in the least from Iceland. Okay,

(24:55):
pretty smart way to reduce food waste, and everybody in
this country knows we waste a boatload of food. And
a major food chain, a grocery chain in that country.
In Iceland, the public gets alerts anytime specific items are
marked down as they approach the date on which they

(25:17):
might expire and become no longer sellable by whatever their
laws are about that. And there's even so you've got
that store and I think they have ninety locations in
the country of Iceland, which is not even near as
big as Texas. I don't believe. I'm not really sure
of the size of Iceland, but it's not a big place,

(25:38):
and they've got ninety stores there, and at all those
ninety stores there are now letting the public know that
could cause a rush if certain things kind of go
on sale that a lot of people like and a
lot of people eat. But nonetheless, that's way better than
having that stuff just spoil and have to be thrown
into the dumpster where the I don't know what prowls

(26:00):
the dumpsters in Iceland. I'm not really sure. I know
they don't have coyotes. I'm very certain they don't have coyotes.
I can't say with one hundred percent certainty in any event,
The long and the short of it is they are
doing that. There's a competitor of that storage chain that
works out with or works with a network of volunteers

(26:22):
to deliver the near expiration foods to people in need
throughout the communities they serve. That's something that we ought
to be doing more of here. I asked once in
a major breakfast food location what they do with all
the product that's not sold at the time they close
in early afternoon. I was thinking maybe they would tell me, oh,

(26:43):
we take them to the food bank, we take them here,
we take them there. No, they take them to the dumpster.
There are probably at least one hundred edible items in
that store when they close, and they throw them in
the trash every single day. We've got to do better,
we really do. We've got to do better than that.

(27:04):
They don't offer them at half price somewhere, they don't
call a church to come pick them up and distribute them,
any of that, none of it perfectly good food, just
tossed out and hauled to the dump. We're way behind
in that, and we've got to do better, we really do.
All right, I gotta do a little better and hit
this brake right on time, which I've just done. Berry

(27:28):
Hill Baja Grill Family run on fifty nine down there
in Sugarland at Sugar Creek Boulevard on the inbound side.
I've been there thirty shitting I do on thirty two
thirty three years, probably close to as long as my
wife and I have lived down that way, and absolutely
positively some of the best fish fish tacos you'll ever
put in your mouth some of the best seafood enchiladas

(27:49):
you'll ever eat. The everything on that menu, I was
gonna kind of rattle some things off, but everything on
that menu that I've ever had was absolutely outstanding, partly
because it's so consistent. And it's consistent because the two
primary people in that kitchen cooking have been in that
kitchen cooking for ten or more years apiece. They've got

(28:12):
more than a decade apiece of experience in that same kitchen,
and man do they churn it out absolutely delicious stuff,
up to and including of course the trace leches, which
they offer in vanilla and chocolate varieties. And like I've
said before, if somebody asks whether you want for vanilla
or chocolate, just say yes. Berryhillsugar Land dot com is

(28:35):
a website. They're gonna be doing some catering for me.
I think in March. It's a long ways out, but
I'm already talking to them about it. They'll do the
same for you, no matter how big how small the job.
They can handle it and delivered delicious food wherever you
want it, which they've done for us twice here by
the way, in the office Berryhillsugarland dot com.

Speaker 1 (28:56):
Old Guy's rule, and of course women never get old
if you want to avoid sleeping on the couch.

Speaker 2 (29:04):
Okay, well, I think that sounds like a good plan.

Speaker 1 (29:07):
Fifty plus continues. Here's more with Doug.

Speaker 2 (29:11):
Let me go back to where I was a little
while ago and get to this story to make sure
that I get a chance to do it, as I
found it very interesting. In case you missed it, Hillary
Clinton has actually said some very kind words recently about
our president, up to and including that she might if
he can, if he can, end this war in Ukraine.
By gosh, she just might nominate him for a Nobel

(29:33):
Peace Prize, which I think is hilaryusly hilariously. There's got
to be a way to make those two words go together,
because it's just such a natural fit. It's just so
obvious that it's garbage coming from the mouth of one
of the worst people ever to hold office. She knows,

(29:54):
she knows that the current administration has everything it needs
to bring her reign of political power and that of
many other people who believed themselves to be untouchable until
somebody forgot to burn the burn bag. Holy cow, And
now We've got whistleblowers coming out, and who knows what

(30:17):
they're gonna reveal, one by one the the most powerful,
some of the formerly most powerful people in this country
and to some degree in the world. They're going down.
They're going down. It's gonna come to a grinding halt.

(30:38):
And Hillary Clinton is grossly underestimating our President's ability to
see through all her garbage. If she thinks he's at
all at all convinced that, oh, she's had a change
of heart, she can see that I'm really doing good
work for good people. Now she's just trying to cover

(30:59):
her own bin see if she can parlay that into
a pardon someday. Also squirming in a political hot seat
these days and making himself look like an absolute fool
as far as I'm concerned. Former FBI Director James Comye,
who last week declared himself to be a swiftye. Okay,

(31:19):
this is a guy who was ahead of the FBI,
and now he's a fan of Taylor Swift, even going
so ridiculously far as a grown man to say that
her music strengthens his opposition to President Trump. He even
claims to listen to her songs when he's cutting the

(31:40):
grass as if he cuts his own grass. I bet
he doesn't, but he might just to just to prove
a point. He might have probably a video of him
cutting the grass one day, and if there is, I
bet he looks a lot younger. He says, he knows
all her songs too. If you were a neighbor, honest
to go, goodness, honest to goodness. If he were a neighbor,

(32:03):
I would not let my kids go to his house
on Halloween. That creeps me out. That absolutely creeps me out.
From the hindsight desk. By the way, remember Brian Coberger,
guy who killed those Idaho college students for no good
reason except to just see if he could get away
with it, I think, And we'll never know the real
reason he did it because he's not talking. Turns out

(32:23):
one of his professors identified him in writing. I believe
it was as a future predator. This was a couple
of years before he did what he did, and the
professor hasn't been named, and he doesn't need to be.
That's irrelevant, but the fact that this guy saw this

(32:48):
in Coburger. He said Coberger had an intellect and personality
that together could lead to exactly where they ended up,
leading to this guy coming up with a plan, patiently waiting,
carefully stalking his victims to determine when would be just
the right time to strike, and he did it, and

(33:10):
he did it. Now the question I want to ask
you guys, and feel free to use the use the
talkback tool if you don't mind that we have on iHeartRadio,
or you can even emails easy dugpike at iHeartMedia dot
com if you can't remember that, and several of you,
like me, probably would have forgotten it already by now.

(33:32):
And that doesn't mean anything. It just means we're getting older.
Other things mean that it's worse than that, but that's
not one of them. So you go there, go to iHeartRadio,
go to the station while you're listening to it or not,
and just click that talkback button, Just tap that talkback
button and leave me about a fifteen or twenty second message.

(33:53):
What I'm wondering is whether or not hunches about people
should be report hoarded to law enforcement because a lot
of social media people were saying, well, why didn't you
tell somebody, Why didn't you, why didn't you do something? Well,
because in this country of ours, if we're just standing
there and we haven't spoken about doing something horrible to anybody.

(34:20):
There's really not much that can be done to us.
It's kind of similar to some state's red flag laws,
where anyone can make an accusation about a person and
potentially depending on depending on the state, and depending on
how much credence is given to the the random report.

(34:42):
Uh if if the random report is believable enough, the
law enforcement in those states is gonna come to your house.
They're gonna knock on your door. They're gonna tell you
that you've been flagged as somebody who's potentially dang to
themselves and other people. And if you own guns, you

(35:04):
have to turn them over and you'll probably never see
them again, because once that accusation is made and it
goes on your file, it would be really really hard.
Now somebody else gets to decide how how long, for
how much longer you have to be a choir boy
before you can get your deer rifle back or your
your dove gun. And that's that bothers me. It's that's

(35:28):
a little bit tight. They're a little bit too tight
for me, leading to confiscation of firearms. Other restrictions on
your freedoms, based on somebody's speculation, which may actually have
been sort of a vendetta against you. Somebody doesn't like you,
so they make a report and find a way to

(35:48):
do it anonymously. I would I would hope that anonymous
reports aren't really giving any merit. I really do hope that,
because if you're not, if you're not convinced enough to
say it to somebody's face in law enforcement and let
them ask you questions about why you feel that way,
then I don't think you have much of a case.
Here's the case of the greediest woman I've ever heard about. Will.

(36:11):
She's fifty nine years old. She lives in France, suing
a company for keeping her on staff for twenty years,
paying her a full salary but not assigning her any work.
She claims that she suffered psychological torture. I wonder how

(36:31):
torture she felt. Cash in those checks, That's what I wonder.
And I wonder where I could apply for her job. Jokingly,
I love what I do. See you tomorrow, Audios.
