Speaker 1 (00:01):
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? Well, this show is
all about you. This is fifty plus with Doug Pike.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
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 fifty plus with Doug Pike.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Ahi, Welcome aboard the middle of the week. I hope
you embraced yourselves for a good run of extremely warm weather.
We start today with what is it? A seven? Ninety six?
Depending on where you are, might be only ninety five
in the woodlands, might be ninety eight in Sugarland where
(01:07):
I am. I'm still reserving the word hot, by the way,
for temperatures higher than one hundred. That's something I started
a couple of years ago, and I feel like that's
only right. It has to be one hundred or more
or higher to be hot, and it has to be
thirty two degrees or lower to be cold. But this
(01:28):
week may just test my patience with that use of
the hot word. I'm going from pretty nice temperatures to
almost one hundred. That's going to be a shock to
my system for sure. By the way, Will there's a
company that's gonna send me some hydration like tablets that
you can you can pop into your mouth when you're
(01:50):
starting to feel the heat, maybe, and I'm going to
test them out. It says in the literature that I
read about them that they'll start working within them minute,
which would be nice. So if you play your cards right,
I might even give you a couple of tests. When
you're out, Well, you don't mow the long what do
you do out? Do you do anything outside at home?
(02:11):
Just walk the dog, walk the dog, or.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
Washer and dryer out.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Yeah so yeah, Well maybe if you're out there folding
clothes or something, you might need some hydration, So I
might give you a few of them to test fire
for us. It's they're not it's not like they're gummies
or anything. Uh, They're just I think they're just chewable tablets,
is what I believe. I read on the on the
literature I got. In any event, we're gonna get through this,
(02:38):
I'm sure of that, but not without a lot of
sweat and a little bit of swearing, probably when we
touch things outside that have been cool to the touch
for what six months, but not anymore. Hop in the car,
grab the steering wheel. Been a long time since that
was really hot, but it's gonna be. There's all kind
of seat belt buckles too. Those things heat up, don't they.
(02:59):
Have you ever been burned by one of those?
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Will?
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Yes? Oh, my gurse. It just it seems so natural
to just grab that seat belt and slap it across
your waist. But yeah, if you, if you, if your
shirt tail is untucked and you miss and you hit
that silver buckle on your bare belly, there's a wake
up call in the summertime around here.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
The markets were kind of doing their boring thing this morning.
No cause for alarm among any of the four big
indicators that I look at. Goal was down a pretty
good chunk, I want to say it was. It was
in the red maybe fifty forty five, fifty to fifty
five dollars somewhere in there, but still bouncing around well
(03:44):
in excess of three thousand dollars an out, so not
much to see. Their oil was up, but kind of
the same way not enough to change anybody's holiday travel plans.
If you're if you're driving somewhere, you might pay a
nickel more gallon based on what the rates are now
for or the ice is now a barrel of West
Texas intermediate crude. But otherwise you won't notice any difference.
(04:07):
Walking over how much time I'm good, I've got like
what four minutes? Yes, oh, this is, this is I'm
gonna hit this one right here, walking over to the
not so fast desk from the Populous Times. The State
of Texas has hit the brakes, and there's a there's
a quote from Governor Abbott on X that I'll get
to in a second. The State of Texas is going
(04:31):
to stop construction of a project. I think it's up
around Plano, four hundred acre Muslim only compound that intends
to build a thousand single family homes and mixed juice
buildings around and already functioning seventy four single family home
(04:52):
area near a large mosque. The issue that state government has,
and that Governor Abbot has, is that lands for this
city have all the ear marks of becoming exclusionary to
anyone but Muslims and being ruled within its boundaries by
(05:13):
Sharia law. The project promoter said, no, no, no, that's
not our intent at all. But opponents say that it
certainly looks like some of the places that have popped
up over in Great Britain where you and I, if
we're not Muslim, are not welcome in there, and that
the people inside those things are treated and ruled by
(05:36):
laws other than those of the United States. If it
walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, you know.
Governor Abbott made it very clear on exit Sharia law
is not allowed in Texas, that there will be no
Sharia cities, no no go zones for non Muslims. States
launched multiple investigations into this project, as has the US
(05:59):
Department of Justice. There have been I'm not saying that
there's anything wrong, because I don't know with what they're
doing up there and whether they would be imposing Sharia
law on the people who live there, But there have
been multiple occasions in the past fifty forty years or so,
(06:20):
let's call it, in the past forty years, where countries
that don't like US, countries that want to change US,
talk about taking over the United States without firing a
shot and by that, they mean by convincing us to
let them do what they want to do, until we
look up one day and there are way more of
(06:41):
them than there are of us who think the way
they do, and when we just get kind of moved aside.
And I hope that's not what's going on. I truly do.
I hope that they are not planning to do that.
That there's already some places up north, some cities where
there are little neighborhoods and whatnot where if you don't,
if you don't look right and talk right and act right,
(07:02):
you don't get to go in there. I've got less
than a minute now. Okay, well we're gonna shift over
to the other stuff here very quickly, because I got
some pretty chunky stuff I want to get to in
the next segment. Smoking in the boys room, yuck, no thanks,
or AI can't do everything yet, yuck, no things. There's
(07:23):
a new list online it says here of hobbies that
are instant red flags. They include this, Neither you nor
I would be involved in well being into pranking. Sometimes
pranks go a little too far, And some of the
things I see that other people laugh at would probably
kind of tick me off a little bit CrossFit. Now
(07:45):
is an instant red flag, this one. This one's very
new in this country. Swooning over serial killers. The man
who is alleged to have killed the CEO of United
Healthcare falls into that category, as have some others recently.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
And it's very still happened forever. Yeah, that was tumbling
in the in the sixties and the seventies with Ted Bundy.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
Yeah, all the way back to Manson. I guess some
people thought though those were really cool people. Not me.
I'm gonna take a hard pass on swooning over a
serial killer. We got to take a little break here
on the way out. I'll tell you about a late
health This is the vascular clinic where you can be
seen and taken care of for a number of different
(08:39):
things that all can be treated with vascular procedure. Mostly
what they do if they could go in and open
up arteries, they can plug arteries, they can manipulate arteries,
They do a lot of things with the tiny little
all the way down to capillary size blood flow through
our system. One of the well, the most common procedure
(09:01):
over there actually is prostrate artery embolization, which determines which
artery of yours is supplying that prostate so that it
can continue to grow and continue to heap upon you
horrible symptoms that if you have them, you already know
you don't like them. And if you don't have them
yet and you're fifty five or sixty years old, you'll
probably get them soon enough. They can take care of
(09:23):
that with a couple hours in the office and you
get to know somebody's going to have to drive you home,
But once you get there, you can recover that way.
Same with fibroids and women, same with ugly veins on anybody.
Even some head pains, as I've mentioned so many times,
can be alleviated with just the right vascular procedure to
shut down those pain receptors that are getting fed by
(09:45):
that little tiny capillary. Somewhere alat e a Latehealth dot
com is the website. Most of what they do is
covered by Medicare and Medicaid too, so that's helpful to
a lot of my listeners. Regeniture of medicine also over there,
very helpful with chronic pain. Call and get a consultation,
call and find out what they can do for you.
(10:05):
Seven to one, three, five, eight, eight, thirty eight eighty eight,
seven to one three five eight eight thirty eight eighty eight.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
What's life without a nap? I suggest you go to bed,
sleep it off, just wait until the show's over. Sleepy.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Back to Doug Pike as fifty plus continues.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
All right, welcome back to fifty plus. Thank you all
for listening on this midweek scorcher, well, semi scorcher. Not
gonna make one hundred, so I can't even call it hot,
but that's okay.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
Walking over to the judging the judge desk, and Fox
News comes word that a federal grand jury has indicted
Milwaukee County Judge Handadugan on charges of instruction of an
official proceeding on April twenty fifth. If you'll recall, she's
(10:55):
accused of helping an illegal immigrant evade federal agents and
high from them when they were there lawfully to pick
him up. Judge Dougan is going to face the felony
charges that have been filed against her in court tomorrow.
(11:15):
And here's the interesting thing. If you don't want to
face these charges, don't break the law. She surely she
knew what she was doing and knew that there would
be repercussion. I guess she didn't care. Kind Of Along
those same lines from the Easy to Avoid Desk at
(11:37):
Breitbart comes word that Alexandria Ocassio Cortes AOC put herself
back in the news, which doesn't take her along usually,
and warned President Trump that if he and his enforcement
agents arrest any more Democrats quote from her, we're going
to have a problem end quote. The problem is it
(12:00):
Democrats who were arrested in charge could have avoided all that,
just like Judge Dougan, have they not interfered with law
enforcement Already the claims that Democrat congressmen and women were
manhandled by federal agents have fallen flat when measured against
video from the agent's own body cams. If you're gonna lie,
(12:23):
you better make sure there's no cameras around, and that
means you better be in an absolutely dark room by yourself,
because if you're outside, you're probably on a camera somewhere
and somebody's going to have access to that video. I'm
still waiting for Democrats to put the safety and security
of Americans above that of violent criminals and gang members.
(12:45):
They're choosing the wrong people as heroes. They flat are
and they still don't get it. They are just tone deaf.
They're not reading the room. And until they figure that out,
they're just gonna keep losing support every single day that
they continue to do what they're doing. Now. It's remarkable,
(13:06):
really from the no I'll stop for a second. Oh well,
let me tell you I've got some good news I
want to get to. Let me get over here to
the will which would you rather have? There's three kind
of good news stories here. One is about dangerous chemicals,
and these are all good news stories, so don't worry
(13:26):
about that part of it. One is about capturing unseen
ever before images of a certain something on Earth, and
something about venomous snakes. What strikes your fancy, Give me
the venomous snakes, Okay, And this has nothing to do
(13:49):
with politics, by the way. Story at the Good News
Network about a breakthrough antidote, an anti venom that neutralizes
the venom of nineteen of the world's most deadly snakes
and probably more. Actually, once they get cooking with this stuff.
There's this guy and he has hyper immunity to these venoms,
(14:15):
and the scientists now are collecting antibodies from him to
create this magic potion. If you will, and that is
expected to absolutely revolutionize snake bite treatment around the world
once it can be produced in quantity. So here's the deal.
This guy who's so resistant got that way kind of
(14:38):
deliberately by subjecting himself over the course of eighteen years
to hundreds of bites from venomous snakes. And he's self
immunized all along the way. And each time he did this,
he subjected himself to a li little bit more and
(15:00):
a little bit more of the venom from some of
the most dangerous venomous snakes around the world. He wasn't traveling.
I presume he had him in a laboratory somewhere and
he just well, that one bit me and it didn't
bother me. I guess I'll ramp it up a little
bit and see. Ultimately, according to one of the one
(15:22):
of the researchers who's now working on this project, the
amount of venom he was taking in some of these
bites was enough to have killed a horse, enough to
kill a horse, and it didn't hurt him. And each time,
as anybody's responded by just getting stronger and stronger and stronger.
(15:44):
And now after it's been decades with no real advances
in reversing snake bites and getting that venom out of
venom out of you. Whatever we have now has been
the same treatment protocol for thirty forty years. Until now,
this antivent had developed from this man's anybody who're gonna
save people all over the world, countless people. Just to
(16:08):
name a few of the snakes that this stuff neutralizes
their venom, cobras, mambas, crates, coral snakes, a whole just
a laundry list. There's I think seventeen or nineteen of them,
nineteen of the world's most dangerous snakes. And if you
get a dose of this, you're good. You're good to go.
(16:32):
How about that, will, Yeah, it's good. You Ever been
bitten by any snake? No, I've been bitten by pet
snakes that I had over the years. A couple of
them were pretty rowdy. One of them I kept them
in glass aquariums and it was just little screen tops
on them so they couldn't get out, which would have
freaked my mom out. And there was one that every
(16:55):
time I'd walked through the room, he'd just slammed his
head against the glass, like if I could get the
through here i'd take your head off, buddy, like, cal
him down, man, I'm gonna bring you a mouse in
just a little while. Okay, it's gonna be okay. You're
just hungry, You're angry. That snake was angry, will. And
then I had a king snake that was just docile,
as you can imagine, from the day I found him.
(17:17):
I picked him up and he was just cool, Okay,
where are we going, and took him back to the house,
and I was actually able to just transport him. I'd
put him in a little paper lunch sack. We all
carried paper lunch sacks back then when I was a
little kid, and I just carry him around in one
of those, and nobody even knew there was a snake
in the bag most of the time. One teacher burned, well,
(17:40):
the snake burned us both because when she was looking
at me and asked me what was in the bag,
I said nothing, and the bag moved, and that was yeah.
I got an early dismissal from class that day until
I could come back without the bag and without the snake.
It was cool as a little speckle, king snake, gorgeous snake,
(18:01):
really pretty. There are a lot of beautiful snakes in Texas,
and only you can just about count on one hand
the ones that can hurt you. And once you learn
to identify them. I didn't mean to just dive off
into snake stuff here, but once you learn those, you'll
be better equipped to not panic if you see a
snake outdoors. And that's the best thing you can do
is just not panic. They don't want to bite you.
(18:23):
I had some good discussion about that on the program
on my Outdoor show this past weekend. Matter of fact,
all right, well, I know we need to take a break.
I'll do it right now. On the way out, I'll
tell you about ut Health Institute on Aging, which has
been around for the better part of ten years, maybe
ten plus now, maybe eleven even. And in any event,
the entire time this giant collaborative has been around, it
(18:47):
has been gaining support, gaining members until now it's probably
twelve hundred. I don't know, maybe more than that. I
keep meaning to ask, and I keep forgetting to ask.
What does that say about me? In any event, all
of these people, whatever their part in medicine, as it is,
from what they got the diploma, for all of those
(19:09):
years of schooling. They've said, Okay, we're going to go
back and learn how to apply all our knowledge specifically
to seniors, because seniors, our entire bodies are different from
those of people younger than us, just the way God
made us all and the way we're going to be,
and hopefully by seeing someone who understands us, probably better
than we understand ourselves, we can live even longer, healthier, happier,
(19:32):
more productive lives. That's what they do. Go to the
website and look first at all the resources they're available
there for pretty much any question you might have about
taking care of yourself, taking care of somebody else, how
to manage this and do that, avoiding scams. There's all
kinds of great information there for seniors. And then there's also,
(19:53):
of course a way to access some of these providers,
mostly in the med center, but a lot of them
also work all around town, all the way from from
the Woodlands down to Galveston. If you need to see
one of these people, chances are there's somebody in the
discipline you're looking for who will be relatively close to
your home at some point during the week. Utch dot
edu slash aging, utch dot edu slash aging.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Now they sure don't make them like they used to.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
That's why every few months we wash him, check his fluids,
and spring on a fresh code O wax. This is
fifty plus with Doug Pike, and welcome back to fifty plus.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
Thanks for listening. Certainly do appreciate it. Third segment starts
right now on our way in. Let's go to the
high flying desk, shall we. President Trump's defending his decision
to accept a four hundred million dollars booing seven forty
seven to eight jet from the Royal family of Cutter.
Why not, he said, uh, pointing out that we've been
(20:54):
giving gifts to most other countries in the world for
the last four years, just handing off money to here
and there and everywhere, and to some boy giving ourselves.
Now certain people giving themselves gifts from the taxpayers. By
the way, the airplane that was given by that royal
(21:16):
family is a little newer version of the seven forty seven.
The one that President Trump is flying around in now
is almost forty years old. That's it's time to trade
it in. It's got a lot of miles on the tires,
so to speak, and not nearly as nice as the
(21:37):
ones that are owned by most of the Middle Eastern regimes.
Of course, they've got more private wealth and personal wealth.
I've never seen so many. There was something I saw
the other day on Facebook about one of the one
of the higher ups and one of those royal families
in the Middle East and the car collection this man has,
(22:01):
and he has among other things. I don't remember what
it was exactly. Might have been a Rolls, might have
been a Bentley, might have been a I don't know
what it was. But it was just a big, lumbering
sedan that was completely coded in gold. Would you drive
a gold car in Houston? Will real gold? No? I
(22:26):
don't think I would either. I'd be I'd be scared
to death to ride around in that thing. People be
coming along just ganking off a bumper and retiring off
your bumper. It's a It's a beautiful car, There's no
question about it that. The same man's also, I want
to say, he's got three hundred luxury cars. Just something
silly like that, something crazy. And the only reason he's
(22:47):
got three hundred probably is because he found out one
of the other people in a similar position, one of
his peers, had two hundred and ninety nine that's how
that kind of stuff works. This new one, they're going
to fix it all up. And while we wait for
Boeing to complete its order that we've placed as a
country for a new group of seven forty sevens that
(23:11):
will be named Air Force One. Only one flying at
a time, I'm sure, although I wonder if in time
of crisis, will they would they would throw a second
one up in the air just to confuse any adversaries
they fly. When they fly that thing, they have escort.
There's no question about that. They've got a lot going
(23:31):
on to make sure they know where it is and
that there's nothing getting close to it. Speaking of did
you see the story, there was a I don't remember
an F one. One of our fighters had an incident,
it said, and ended up crashing because of what some
people are saying was an encounter. Brace yourself, Will with
(23:53):
a UFO. You think that really happened. Don't do that
to me, really, you don't know what I said. No,
I don't know what she says. It's gonna move on then,
all right from the sea you later desk. By way
of Newsmax comes the story of a federal judge that,
as told President Trump, he does have the authority to
invoke the Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelan gang members.
(24:17):
That ruling is contrary, by the way, to those of
other courts at lower courts that have blocked his ability
to rid this country of dangerous gang members. The only
stipulation in this woman's ruling this judge is ruling is
that it requires twenty one days notice in English and Spanish,
and then their time in this country is finished, see
(24:38):
you later, see you later, and don't come back now.
There are ways that people who want to live in
this country, truly want to and truly will not be
any threat to Americans is for them to leave and
then apply to come back through the proper channels. Don't
(25:00):
sneak in, don't pay somebody to sneak you in under
cover of darkness or daylight. Just go through the proper channels,
and then maybe it'll work out. Hopefully it'll work out
for people who are willing to do that. I would
love to see that, but I don't like it when
anyone in this country stands in the way of getting
(25:23):
violent people, getting very bad people removed from among us.
I saw a story I think it was just yesterday
I've talked about it. Get another woman killed by six
illegal migrants, the youngest of whom, by the way, the
six people who have been charged with this, three of
them were miners, and the youngest one who was involved
(25:46):
in this allegedly thirteen years old. Thirteen years old, the
oldest one only twenty one. They're not off to a
good start in the US of A. That's a problem.
And to hear democrats, they're just they're down on their luck.
They'll have all kinds of excuses why those people shouldn't
be deported, you mark my words. They'll come up with something.
(26:09):
They will come up with something. Oh mercy, okay, Well
back to you smoking in the boys room. Zipp it
or endless waste of time and money? Zip it? Zip
It's not It's interesting, but I don't think it warrants
the a lot of attention. You can look up more
(26:31):
information if you want to. Class action lawsuit accusing Ziplock
of deception by labeling its plastic bags as microwaves safe
and freezer friendly. This suit says that microplastics are likely
to be released under extreme temperatures. Well, I don't know
(26:57):
of anybody who's been harmed by a zip block bag.
And in fact, there's a recipe I want to try
that involves taking breaking three eggs, dropping them into a
ziplock bag. Then you put in some chopped up, diced
up ham. You drop that in the ziplock bag. Then
you put in a handful of grated cheese, and you
(27:18):
drop that in the ziplock bag. Maybe some chip, well
you'd put that on afterward, and you zip that up
and you mush it all around. You just get all
those ingredients mushed up into a big, ugly looking blob
of yellow and pink and whatever. And then you zip
the bag and you hold it in boiling water for
(27:40):
I would guess probably about four or five minutes and
whatever the magic time is that you hold that in there.
When you pull it out, what you have at the
bottom of that bag is a perfectly formed, deliciously perfectly
cooked omelet, ready to just drop on the plate. Put
some more cheese on top, put a little sour cream
(28:01):
on there, maybe some chibes that I could eat probably
every day. Will Are you an omelet guy?
Speaker 4 (28:08):
I like an omelet?
Speaker 3 (28:10):
What do you want in it or on it?
Speaker 4 (28:13):
I like some spinach, like some mushrooms sometimes mushrooms. Good. Uh,
you know movie, some bacon, some swiss.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
You're missing one it Well, what about sour cream? Okay,
you're missing one ingredient that I really like on an omelet,
avocado avocado slices. And I could at some point I'm
gonna try guacamole on on an omelet. I think that
actually might be very good. Little guak kind of like
(28:49):
a kind of like a not a burrito, but a taco,
a little like a nacho, a nacho burrito. It would
be my burrito, not Joe burrito. All right, let's get out.
Oh do we have to Okay, we'll take a little breaker.
We'll be right back to wrap it up on Wednesday,
the first of.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
Many, many, many very very very warm.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
Days to come on AM nine to fifty kprc.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
Old Guy's rule. And of course, women never get old.
If you want to avoid sleeping on the couch.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
Okay, well, I think that sounds like a good plan.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
Fifty plus continues. Here's more with Doug. All right, welcome
back to fifty plus. Final segment.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
Stars right now from the and this is from a
couple of days ago, so forgive me, but it never
came up on the show I don't believe. From the
medical good news desk comes word of the first new
antibiotic in thirty years for the treatment of recurring urinary
tract infections in women and girls. About half of all
women get one at some point in their lives, and
(29:55):
a third of them get UTI's that just stubbornly return
multiple times. UTIs I have read account for about eight
million er visits annually and one hundred thousand hospitalizations. The
clinical trial for this drug, it's gepo todason I believe
(30:18):
it's one of those weird medicine words that it's hard
to pronounce. G E p O t I d A
c N included three thousand women and girls, and the
results of that trial led to its approval. It's expected
to be available sometime later this Year's later this year,
So that is very good news for any of you
(30:39):
who deal with those things, which I can't imagine that
has to be painful and just an all around mess
to deal with. Also, well, something from the good News
bad news desk in Washington State the new rule adding
girls flag football as an official high school sport. Guess
(31:00):
what didn't pass? Though? What didn't pass was the rule
that would have prohibited boys from playing girls' sports. So
for all you Washington parents of high school girls who
would love to compete in flag football, brace yourself for
playing that sport against high school boys who couldn't make
(31:23):
the boys team and have an ax to grind and
are going to get out there. And I would bet
that if this makes and actual girls actually sign up
and go play flag football against boys with no pads,
just a little flag around your waist, that's all you
(31:43):
get to separate you from a guy who might be
one hundred and seventy one hundred and eighty pounds running headlong,
full speed into a girl that might be a buck twenty.
That's not going to work well, it's not going to
end well. Somebody's going to get hurt again. And I
just pray that some of this goes away before some
(32:06):
female athlete in high school or college gets killed while
trying to play their sport, because that's eventually gonna happen. Somebody.
They're going to crack heads, somebody's gonna be driven into
the ground on a tackle of some sort or whatever,
and it's gonna come to that, and I just hate
(32:28):
that for this country of ours. It's not necessary and
it shouldn't be happening from the misunderstanding this, this was interesting.
The key witness in the murder trial of Karen Reid, okay,
the witness who said in twenty twenty two that she
heard read ask a friend to search how long to
die in Cold, which actually included a typo that anything
(32:52):
that's on your computer, if you're in trouble, you're gonna
find it. Oh my goodness, that's my dentist office trying
to call me right now. Not supposed to be there
today or tomorrow. I'll deal with that later anyway. It
included a typo so that it read has long to
dying cold? Well. In cross examination during the ongoing trial,
that witness said that during the grand jury testimony she
(33:15):
gave about that she misunderstood the question, which it's pretty
hard to do when you're in a grand jury and
you have the ability to say, you know, I really
don't understand that question. In any event, Karen Reid has
contended throughout that whole deal, this whole ordeal, that she's
innocent and being framed, and it'll be up to not
(33:36):
you or me, but somebody who's got it all going
on in there to figure it out in the courtroom,
and justice eventually will be served. I would imagine, all right,
well back to you, and let's waste of time and
money tucked away or cat lady, and this waste of time,
(33:58):
This one I find very interesting. Somebody figured out will
that the most and you'll recognize immediately why this is
not true, But it says here somebody figured out that
the most expensive item on the Starbucks app is forty
five dollars. It's not a normal drink. You need to
make a lot of modifications, like adding twelve shots of espresso. Okay,
(34:25):
so why is that instantly not true?
Speaker 4 (34:28):
Twelve shots of espresso would be catastrophic to you.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
No, the reason it's not true is because for another
couple of bucks, you can add a thirteenth shot, and
another couple of bucks you can add a fourteenth shot.
So there is no limit to what you would have
to pay for the particular drink you order if you
just keep adding shots of whatever to it. And you
are correct that twelve shots of espresso's pretty good. You're
(34:56):
gonna have wall paint under your fingernails when you're done,
because you're just going to be climbing the wall. I
would think that's a lot of caffeine, is it not.
It's way too much caffeine. Wait, that's like a week's
worth almost.
Speaker 4 (35:08):
I had a ltte earlier this week, and I hadn't
had a latte in a few months, and I already
I just felt buzzing.
Speaker 3 (35:17):
I haven't had a cup of coffee in an hour. Well,
but lante is espresso.
Speaker 4 (35:23):
This is an espresso.
Speaker 3 (35:24):
Well that yeah, okay, so it's a little boostier.
Speaker 4 (35:27):
An espresso is more concentrated.
Speaker 3 (35:29):
Way different from a boostia. Yes, let's just recognize that
right now. Okay, I'm going back to A I can't
do everything and smoking in the boys room. Pick one,
A I can't do everything. That's A. That's a good choice.
Because this actually comes from Houston. This guy lands an
interview for his dream job. Will think of it his dream?
(35:50):
What would your dream job be? Anywhere anywhere but here, Doug? Okay,
interviewer was an A I bought that kept glitching, So
this poor guy didn't get to answer any of the
questions asked by the AI interviewer. The interview ended finally, thankfully. Probably,
(36:14):
I'm sure that guy was sick and tired of it,
and he gets a follow up email the next day
that says, guess what, Will? You did not make it
to the next round. Wonderful energy.
Speaker 2 (36:25):
It said.
Speaker 3 (36:26):
He didn't even get to answer any questions and the
response was wonderful energy. But they decided he wasn't the
right fit. How would they know? How would they know?
Speaker 4 (36:36):
Will?
Speaker 3 (36:36):
What did it say? What job it was for?
Speaker 4 (36:39):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (36:39):
Absolutely not I that on the read more? Probably it
could have been. But who's like I've said, Man, I'm
I'm a busy man. Will. That's why I just encouraged
listeners to go look this stuff up. If they're if you're,
if you're enwrapped by that, look it up. Tell us
what job was Inquiring minds want to know. So that's
(37:03):
your task. Got your assignment for tomorrow. We'll find out
what job he was applying for. Okay, can you do that?
I'll try. I could take all of two minutes, you know,
all right, what do we have a minute? Yeah, I'll
just another Houston story, then I'll finish with a different one.
Lady in Houston unwittingly saved her local animal shelter somewhere
(37:26):
around here by hosting a ken Sannia for her cat.
That goes back to yesterday when we talked about how
many gen Zers and Alphas whatever they're all called, now
think that their pets are their children. And so there
you have that. Thirty seconds. This is an easy way,
(37:46):
an easy one. I'm trying to decide. Yeah, this is it.
Thirty's in New Jersey rated a massage parlor and tucked
and found, tucked away inside a giant Teddy Bear will
one hundred thousand dollars in cash. That's not your average
build a bear.
Speaker 4 (38:06):
That's usually where I keep my cash too. In a
teddy Bear and the massage parlor. Well, you can invest
however you want to invest. Well, we'll be back tomorrow.
Thanks for listening, Audios
