Fresh Water Bacteria

Today, Doug Pike discusses fresh water bacteria, hot days, and Texas history.

Episode Transcript

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? You 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.

Speaker 1 (00:24):
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 ag Informed Decisions for a healthier, happier life.

Speaker 2 (00:42):
And now fifty plus with Doug Pike. All right, here
we go.

Speaker 3 (00:47):
Wednesday edition of the program starts right now, and another
I guess, another potential scorcher, especially for those of you
who don't get outside much anymore. I try to get
out there as often as I can because I don't
want to concede that I'm.

Speaker 2 (01:05):
My age and that that's going to be a problem.

Speaker 3 (01:09):
I talked to Sean Salisbury this morning, passed him in
the halls and he was dressed for golf, and I said,
when's your tea time? He said, I'm going to try
to get out this afternoon. It shouldn't be too crowded,
and he's exactly right. Golf courses this time of year
under these temperatures tend to empty out pretty good. And

(01:31):
if you're tough enough and you can get around without
forgetting to hydrate and stay in the shade as much
as you can and put on your son's green and
all of that, you can get around pretty quickly. But
mostly you just have to be careful not to overdo it. I,
after a short morning something I had to do Monday morning,

(01:54):
ended up hitting balls out at Meadowbrook Farms. My good
friend Lane Rix was kind enough to tossed me a
bag of golf balls.

Speaker 2 (02:03):
He said, you need to probably not lame.

Speaker 3 (02:06):
I said, no, probably not, because it's gonna be ninety
seven ninety eight degrees.

Speaker 2 (02:11):
When I was out there, whatever it was, and I.

Speaker 3 (02:14):
Just didn't want to overdo it, and even not overdoing it,
even dressed appropriately, I ended up having to pause and
just kind of take a knee between about every seventh
or eight shot, I guess somewhere in there. And I'm
not used to having to do that, but I just
felt like I'd be better served with my practice if

(02:37):
I did. And then when I finally got back in
the car, I realized that my shirt was one hundred
percent sod as if it had been just dropped in
a bucket of water.

Speaker 2 (02:48):
It was completely sweated through. Reminded me the old days, the.

Speaker 3 (02:51):
Old cotton shirts, when I was doing a lot of
media trips, media golf trips for the newspaper here, and
we would go to Florida or a Babama or wherever
in the summertime. A particularly hard trip was in August
to Miami to play four different courses six maybe I
don't remember. We were playing two courses a day, and

(03:14):
every one of us this is back in cotton golf
shirts days. Every one of us would leave with the
shirt we had on in the morning and then two
other shirts to get us through the rest of the day,
and just absolutely soak through them. You'd have to put
the shirt you soak through in a plastic bag, otherwise
just everything would be a mess. But I digress. So

(03:37):
I don't blame you for not getting outside this time
of year. It's really tough to go out and close
the door behind you and say good bye to the
air conditioning, even for the little time it takes to
walk to your car, which, by the way, thank god
for long distance starting of your car these days. Get
it cooled down a little bit before you sit down
on that leather seat steering wheel, feels like it's about

(03:59):
one hundred and fifty degree. Looks like we're going to
be at or near the one hundred degree mark today,
which would set a record, I believe. And then in
cheat increased chances of rain later on in the week
are going to bring those temperatures down not a lot.
It's not going to go down to sixty or anything,
but it'll be down into the mid to low nineties

(04:20):
for highs during.

Speaker 2 (04:21):
The day and around eighty for the low.

Speaker 3 (04:26):
Now, this is for real summer stuff here, and it's
going to persist well into September, and if we're lucky,
we might get our first little faue norther if you will,
what maybe late September, early October somewhere in there. In
other words, it's just summer in Southeast Texas, same as

(04:48):
it's been for a million years.

Speaker 2 (04:49):
There's nothing we can do about it.

Speaker 3 (04:51):
Off to the markets, we go for a very brief
look until I can find somebody smart about markets to
actually rec hoard for us a daily snapshot on what's
going on up there on Wall Street. Maybe what's going
on with precious metals, with oil and all of that. Well,

(05:12):
once somebody decides they'll do it, I'll come up with
a format and we'll get a couple of minutes of
insider information from the markets, way more than I could
ever offer, way more. As of today, the Nasdaq was
up a couple of hours ago today, anywhay, around ten o'clock,
Nasdaq was up a little. Russell was up a little

(05:33):
bit more than that. Goal was down, but not much.
Oil was up also not much. So really, whatever way
you cut it, it was kind of a dull day,
a dull day up there so far. Who knows what
it's doing now. It may have gone crazy from some announcement,
but I don't think so.

Speaker 2 (05:51):
I think we're in a fairly calm period right now.
I really do.

Speaker 3 (05:57):
And no matter what mainstream media is trying to tell you,
they just can't stand seeing President Trump do well. For
four years they had they had full access, full access
to the Epstein files, for example, and didn't open the folders,
never never bothered to look. It wasn't it wasn't important
at all. Now suddenly the economy's doing well, Things are
turning around the favor of our federal government, and our

(06:20):
president has grown tremendously just in six months, and so
they've got to have something out there. They've got to
have something to cling to. I just don't think they're
doing it the right way. There's no way we've got
trade deals coming, investments that are in the trillions of
dollars coming our way. Suddenly Epstein's front page news. That's
that's not coincidence. I watched some network news again yesterday evening,

(06:43):
and again I listened to so called reporters saying things
that I'm absolutely certain, absolutely certain are untrue. They just
look right into that camera and just read it off
the teleprompter, read it as though it was it was.

Speaker 2 (06:59):
They were just.

Speaker 3 (07:00):
Infesting their souls in full and just full transparency, when
anything is would be closer to truth than that. It's
very frustrating current admin of what they're What they're doing
basically is a cute and this is a standard tactic
of the left. It has been forever. They're they're they're

(07:21):
accusing the right of doing exactly what they're doing. And
it goes back to something I've always leaned on when
I see this happening, so long as you're pointing at
somebody else, nobody's looking at you.

Speaker 2 (07:36):
Only there are people looking.

Speaker 3 (07:37):
People who have the authority to open investigations, people who
have are going to be conducting those investigations, and are
more interested in the truth than in protecting people either
formerly or currently in really high places. But enough of that,
let's take a little break here on the way out
optim Iron Doors. We are wrapping up rapidly, just a

(07:58):
couple of more days the jew and July summer sail
at Optima Iron Doors up there on North Post oh
maybe six seven minutes from where I'm sitting right here
on the West Loop. Optima Iron Doors offers the big, heavy,
amazing forged iron doors kind you put on a castle

(08:19):
or your house if you think of your house that way,
or those sleek kind of modern narrow profile steel doors,
every one of which.

Speaker 2 (08:26):
And there are many, many, many, many many.

Speaker 3 (08:29):
Choices coming up, all built right here in North America,
by the way. They come up by train from Mexico.
A great deal that Jason Fortenberry struck with the manufacturer
of these doors so that they are available only through him.
Excellent quality, less maintenance than a wood door, or more
security than most wood doors, and how they can be

(08:52):
put in see for yourself, take a look at the
online gallery and get an idea of how many choices
you really do have with iron or steel doors. The
locking mechanisms, the lock sets, the handles, all of that stuff,
all of it can be customized for you. And then
once you make your selections, their installation team will come

(09:13):
over and put that door exactly where it belongs and
give your entire home really a new makeover. Gonna have
great curb appeal once you get that new door in there.
Optima iron Doors dot Com. Only a couple of days
left literally to get the lowest price you'll probably ever
get again on an iron or steel door. Optima iron

Speaker 2 (09:36):
What's life without a net? I suggest to go to bed,
sleep it off.

Speaker 1 (09:40):
Just wait until the show's over, sleepy. Back to Dougpike
as fifty plus continues.

Speaker 3 (09:47):
All right, welcome back to fifty plus. Thanks for listening.
Certainly do appreciate that. By the way, I heard the
story right before we came on the air about the
young child killed by that brain eating bacteria.

Speaker 2 (10:02):
It's found in fresh water and it's a very rare occurrence.
I don't know why.

Speaker 3 (10:09):
Actually, I can't recall the state it was in but
wherever it was, mandatory reporting is not required for that
particular disease. And I guess just because it's so rare,
but it is out there, and what it does when
it's there, and if somebody jumps in the water and

(10:31):
somehow gets that water with that bacteria in their nose,
it will go straight to your brain and very quickly
multiply and eat you up and kill you.

Speaker 2 (10:47):
And it's a horrible, horrible thing. It moves very quickly.

Speaker 3 (10:50):
It's not entirely unlike Vibrio wonnificus, which is found in
warm salt water around the world and can take you out.

Speaker 2 (10:59):
About as fast.

Speaker 3 (11:01):
I talked to a guy last week about someone he
knew who had gotten vibrio many years ago and within
a short time had died. Actually well it was I
think it was only like forty eight hours before they
did a full quarter amputation an arm, including a shoulder
off this guy, and it still didn't end up saving

(11:23):
his life. I had a veterinary or not a veterinarian,
a dentist friend of mine years ago, the guy who
was actually my dentist, and went down and was fishing
at Port O'Connor and slipped on the dock and raked,
just raked his shin kind of down the side of
one of the boards there and like a just like
a road rash burn. And then went wade fishing that

(11:46):
afternoon and immediately knew something was wrong but didn't know what.
Ended up waiting a day to go to the hospital,
and once they got him in there, he liked that
other guy went through an amputation, first of one leg,
then the other, and then within I think a week,

(12:07):
maybe a week and a half, he also was gone.

Speaker 2 (12:11):
So be careful around the water.

Speaker 3 (12:13):
Again, these things are quite rare, and there's no reason
to stop doing what you're doing. Just be aware of
the symptoms of something like that so that you don't
let it get ahead of you. I did a lot
of stories on vibrio back when I was at the paper,
and one of the surgeons that I talked to over
on the East Coast, I think he was from North

(12:35):
Carolina maybe or South I don't recall, but he was
one of the first people to really get into it
and know he knew the most about it in the
whole country. When I was doing this one particular story,
and he flat out said, and by the way, the
symptoms of a vault vibrio infection are flu like symptoms,

(12:58):
a fever. There will be a dark spot, which is
the beginning the onset of necrosis. Actually a dark spot
at the point of entry bear will be You're just
gonna feel like yuck. And if you were in salt
water prior to that a day or two and you're

(13:20):
getting those symptoms, go straight to the hospital.

Speaker 2 (13:23):
Don't go to some minute clinic. Go straight to the hospital.
Go in there. And he told me this, and I'll
tell you.

Speaker 3 (13:30):
He said, tell them that you got whatever you've got
from probably probably from being.

Speaker 2 (13:37):
In salt water a day or two ago.

Speaker 3 (13:40):
And he said, if they don't immediately put you into
a room and start a big giant bag of IV
something antibiotics, some strong antibiotic. If they don't do that, immediately,
just walk out and go to the other, the next
closest hospital and tell them the same story, because that's
how quick that stuff can spread. So not to scare

(14:03):
you during the lunch hour, but that's just it reminded
me of that when I saw this story about the
kid in the fresh water too.

Speaker 2 (14:10):
Again. Ninety nine point nine percent of.

Speaker 3 (14:13):
Exposures to salt water of exposures to fresh water waterskins, women, surfing,
paddle boarding, whatever you're doing in the water. Enjoy the water,
but just know that there's stuff in there. A couple
of the people I was interviewing during those during that
big rush of information about vibrio, also reminded me that
there's stuff in fresh water that scares them as clinicians

(14:38):
and surgeons and doctors even more than the stuff that's
in salt water. So it's all out there, there's just
not enough to be It's kind of like sharks to me.
I respect sharks, and I'm aware of what they can
do to me, but that doesn't keep me out of
the water. So that's enough of that from Detroit this week.
All the hoopla and hullabaloo over elect vehicles apparently dying

(15:02):
kind of a slow death in car makers actually have
responded to the will of the American people at present,
and that is their plans to bring back more and
better selections of automobiles that run on gasoline and not
windmills and solar panels. Historically, I do think evs eventually
will get kind of honorable mention as a forward move

(15:25):
toward cleaner transportation. But I'm talking maybe a century or
two ahead of now. It's going to be a long
time till we settle on something that's better. I Ultimately,
I see hydrogen as more a viable option long term
than anything electricity related.

Speaker 2 (15:48):
It's easier to get, I think, and it's becoming easier
to use.

Speaker 3 (15:52):
It's already been used successfully in tests on automobiles, and
it's just now a matter of ramping up production of
something that could become commercially available.

Speaker 2 (16:04):
It's gonna take a while.

Speaker 3 (16:05):
We've got hundreds of years of oil reserves under our country, though,
so there is time, and we're doing all we can
to make gas engines run more efficiently, which helps, and
it helps with the environment. It helps with conservation of
the energy reserves we have. We've got plenty of time
to develop a reliable alternative to plug ins, that's for sure.

(16:31):
And I'm not knocking Tesla cars. They are what they are,
and if you got one and you like it, more
power to you. New charging stations by the way out
close to my house.

Speaker 2 (16:40):
This is what kind of leads me to.

Speaker 3 (16:42):
Believe that that evs aren't gathering the momentum that everybody
thought they would. We have two big charging stations, about
a dozen plugins whatever they're called, at each of them,
and in three or four months now that they've been
operate rational, I have seen a grand total.

Speaker 2 (17:02):
Of one park car, one parked car.

Speaker 3 (17:06):
At either of them. That's it months of operation. Nobody's
plugging in because who's got that long to wait to
do something that can be done in four or five
minutes at a gas station.

Speaker 4 (17:17):
Not me.

Speaker 2 (17:18):
I would rather I would. I don't know. I just
can't stand the thought of having to plug in.

Speaker 3 (17:24):
Now, if the charging gets faster, I think there may
be more attention paid to that. But early on that
was one of the big big problems, is how long
it would take you to get your car recharged when
everybody else was just pop it in in comparison, almost
like an F one pit stop where they come in
and get fuel and four tires in less than five seconds.

(17:47):
The fascinating thing to watch, if you've never watched it,
how fast and how skilled these people are, each of
them having the oh my goodness, i'm running late. Oh well,
sorry about that. Uh pause there, It wasn't important anyway.
UT Health Institute on Aging is important. I'll tell you
that it's an amazing collaborative of providers from every medical discipline,

(18:09):
all of.

Speaker 4 (18:09):
Whom are additionally trained in how they can use the
knowledge they already had specifically on us, specifically on seniors,
those of us who have more miles on our tires,
who have a little more engine wear than the average
person walking around.

Speaker 3 (18:28):
We need special treatment. We need what I'm about to
start buying. Actually I did I think in this last
oil change of mind, high mileage oil. I need different
stuff than a younger car, if you will. And that's
where UT Health Institute on Aging providers come in handy.
This is something that's not available in but maybe a

(18:50):
handful of markets around the entire country. A handful of
cities have anything even remotely like this. They're all trying
to copy it now. As a matter of fact, from
what I'm hearing. All you have to do to find
out what I'm talking about and learn more about how
you can become healthier and happier and live longer and
do all the things you want to do. Go to
the website. Start there ut dot edu slash aging. You'll

(19:15):
find a ton of resources, and you'll find ways to
connect with all of these providers who can help you
get better faster ut dot edu slash aging.

Speaker 2 (19:28):
Now they sure don't make them like they used to.

Speaker 1 (19:30):
That's why every few months we wash them, check his fluids,
and spring on a fresh code of wax. This is
fifty plus with Dougpike.

Speaker 3 (19:39):
You appreciated from a listener, and that listener would be Mojo.
And if you listen to my weekend show, you're aware
that Mojo weighs in. You're probably aware, maybe not Mojo
ways in every Saturday and Sunday. And if ever I
don't hear from Mojo by email. We just exchange good
mornings every Saturday, every Sunday. And it's just it's this

(20:03):
has gone on for a number of years now, actually,
and it's just it's part of the routine on Saturday
and Sunday morning. But anyway, out of the ordinary comes
this email from Mojo. Word of something many of you
will find quite interesting. I believe it's an app. It's
an app which you know, millions of those available now,

(20:24):
but this particular app is called Texas History Navigator, and
what it does is provide information and locations for some
eighteen thousand historical sites and markers in our state. Just
in Texas alone eighteen thousand important places, and most of

(20:48):
those places if you've ever passed one of those signs
on the side of the road and not and weren't
really sure what it was there, they're They're elevated, usually
just on a very simple post, and it will be
about maybe two feet tall and sixteen eighteen inches wide.
I guess it's been a while since I actually stopped
for one of these. But the bottom line is this

(21:10):
app will tell you exactly where all of them are,
and who knows, with the family sometime or just if
you've got a road trip you have to make to
Dallas or to San Antonio, or to Beaumont or down
south whatever, you could use this app to make very
brief side trips, not far out of the way, but

(21:31):
little side trips to learn more about Texas history.

Speaker 2 (21:34):
I think it's fascinating, I really do. It's free.

Speaker 3 (21:37):
It's in the app Store for both Apple and Android systems.
Eighteen thousand places. You know, every one of them's got
a cool story, and if you download it, please let
me know what you think. You can leave a voicemail
on the talkback button at iHeartRadio, or you can email
me Dougpike at iHeartMedia dot com same as you would

(21:59):
do to learn more about becoming a sponsor of either
of my shows.

Speaker 2 (22:03):
And I've got a.

Speaker 3 (22:03):
Little bit of room in this one, and a little
bit more room probably on the weekends only because I
do five hours. I do three hours on Saturday and
two hours on Sunday, so there's a little bit more room.
And I've got a nice boy, I got a nice
group of people.

Speaker 2 (22:16):
In there right now.

Speaker 3 (22:17):
I don't know how much you've listened to that show,
but I if you like the outdoors at all, I
blatant plug for my own show, I understand, but it
really I really enjoy doing that one is as much
as I enjoy doing this one. This one's totally different.
This one's totally different, and I would love more feedback
from you guys. Actually, now you can either call you

(22:37):
can call here anytime seven one three two one two
five nine five zero seven one three two one two
five nine five zero, and I'll suggest that you do
like I've asked my listeners on the weekends to do.

Speaker 2 (22:50):
Once you hear that.

Speaker 3 (22:51):
Number, put it in your phone, because at some point
while you're listening, I'm gonna say something that you think
I need to say something. I need to respond to that.
I need to I need to try to change Doug's mind.
I need to tell him I support him. I need
to tell him he's right. I need to tell him
he's wrong. Man, I'll listen to either. I don't have
a problem being told I'm wrong. You just got to
convince me that that's the case, and I'll listen patiently.

(23:14):
The only things I don't tolerate are yelling and screaming
and cursing.

Speaker 2 (23:18):
And if we can have a nice congenial conversation.

Speaker 3 (23:22):
About anything you want, if you can, if you can
give me information that I don't have yet, that would
be fine with me.

Speaker 2 (23:29):
I'd love to have it. Moving on from there, let's let's.

Speaker 3 (23:33):
Do something light for a second. By the way, a
fun fact. This is one of these things that you
can drop on him at the party this weekend if
it gets kind of quiet in the room. Did you
know Asia has a larger surface area than the moon.

Speaker 2 (23:55):
Asia.

Speaker 3 (23:56):
You could wrap Asia around the Moon and there would
be places where Asia overlapped itself.

Speaker 2 (24:05):
There. I don't know why we'd ever do that.

Speaker 3 (24:09):
Nonetheless, by the way, there was a very large earthquake,
the second largest ever recorded over off the coast of
Russia a day or two ago, and it has caused
tsunami warnings and watches for everywhere basically from Alaska to
Hawaii all the way to southern California. And the waves

(24:31):
are coming in and there were actually several million people
evacuated from their homes and places of business. I think
it was yesterday, maybe early this morning, I'm not sure,
but so far no real issues. Nobody hurt even over
there in Russia. And so it's a big one. And

(24:53):
those waves going across the ocean, they're not going to
lose a whole lot of steam after a quake that bit,
and by the time they arrive, they still have potential
to do crazy things. It just depends on how many
of them there are and where they land.

Speaker 2 (25:10):
Uh oh.

Speaker 3 (25:15):
A little warning for the arachnophobes among us. It's almost
mating season for tarantulas. So speaking of California, also of Colorado, Kansas,
New Mexico, West Texas, and then in the coming weeks,
tens of thousands, it says here of tarantulas will begin

(25:38):
crawling out of their burrows in search of mates. It
says here in search of females. But they both got
to be out of their burrows to find each other.
So yeah, tens of thousands, it says. It may be
more than that. I don't know. Fortunately, most of us
here in the Greater Houston area probably haven't ever even

(26:01):
seen a tarantula. I've seen a few out in West Texas,
and they're impressive creatures. I'll give them that. I'm not
really super scared of spiders, though, once again, that's kind
of like snakes and sharks and whatnot for me. They
are things that can hurt you, but not really badly
unless you mess up somehow. Champions Tree Preservation would be

(26:24):
great people to call. That would be Irwin or Robin Castellanos,
either one of them. Both of them are arborous, and
either one of them will come to your house and
assess your trees to make sure they are fully functional
and healthy and strong enough to get through hurricane season.
Last year, barrel comes barreling through here, trees down all

(26:47):
over the city. That's why so much electricity was lost
in many places. Trees on the power lines, you know
how that works. It's horrible. If you get Champions Tree
Preservation out there they'll make sure your trees are okay,
and if they're not okay, they'll tell you what it's
gonna take to get them that way, and then you
can either have somebody else do the work, or they'll
do the work for you. They have crews that can

(27:09):
come out and do anything and everything that needs to
be done to a tree to make it healthy again.
And sometimes, sadly, sometimes trees just need to go they're
that far gone and they become a liability. And they
can also at Champions Tree Preservation take a tree like
that out and then if you want it replaced. They
just so happen to own a tree farm and you

(27:31):
can get one of those trees from the tree farm
put in there and just start growing another favorite tree
in your yard. Champions Tree Preservation, get them out there,
get your yard looked over, get those trees checked out.

Old guy's rule, and of course women never get old.
If you want to avoid sleeping on the couch.

Speaker 2 (28:07):
Okay, I think that sounds like a good plant.

Speaker 1 (28:10):
Fifty plus continues. Here's more with Doug Welcome back.

Speaker 3 (28:14):
Fourth and final segment of the program starts right now.
That was one of my favorite songs when I was younger.

Speaker 2 (28:18):
It really was.

Speaker 3 (28:19):
I love the harmony and really in any music. That's
why I'm kind of a big fan of Pentatonics.

Speaker 2 (28:25):
Believe it or not. I went to a Christmas show.
A Pentatonics Christmas show.

Speaker 3 (28:28):
Had great seats, great seats out at Smart Financial Center
and sugar Land. And we're all sitting there and enjoying
and enjoying, and while a costume change was going on
for everybody else, Mitch brings his microphone down, is kind
of wandering around talking to the audience and talking about
Christmas songs and who liked what Christmas songs? And he's

(28:50):
walking by my son and me, and he stops and
he puts the microphone in my face and says, what's
your favorite Christmas movie? And I did I really didn't
want to freeze up, and I put my I just
shifted into hyper driving my brain and spit out elf

(29:11):
and everybody started clapping, like, oh my god. I could
have said a whole lot of I could have missed
the boat entirely. I could have frozen and not said
anything and had him walk off. But I pulled it
off somehow, some way, I dug elf out of my brain.
I don't even know why I picked that. I'm not
sure it is my favorite, but it was the first

(29:31):
one that came to my mind, and I was not
gonna wait around for another one. If you missed it,
and you probably didn't, a mob of thugs up in Cincinnati,
for causes unknown and certainly unjustified, decided to tack to
just brutally attack a middle aged white couple up there.

(29:52):
One man sucker punched the woman, knocking her unconscious as
she hit the concrete. It's horrible to even watch. Her
eyes are just rolled back in her head, literally, and
she's just laying there, unconscious on the concrete. At least
as problematic as the brutal beating those people took was
that only one person and there are dozens of people there,

(30:16):
all got their phones up, they're all videoing this whole thing.
It's just really it's just really eerie and just vulgar
to think that that's their first instinct when somebody is
getting beaten to within an inch of their lives. I
don't know that that woman is ever going to be okay.

Speaker 2 (30:33):
Single mom. She was just a.

Speaker 3 (30:35):
Single mom trying to get in there and convince them
to stop beating up that guy for whatever reasons they'd
come up with, and she got flat laid out by
a guy, flat laid out. One person called nine to
one one one person, and it took six minutes for

(30:55):
law enforcement to get there. Cincinnati can't get this one right.
I hope the federal government steps in.

Speaker 2 (31:01):
I really do.

Speaker 3 (31:02):
First to charge everybody who just stood by and watched
this event, which, by the way, I believe in Ohio
might be a criminal offense to not to not do
anything while something like this is going on. And if
that's the case, then then find every one of those people.
Find them all. A city official came out I believe

(31:23):
it was. It might have been the mayor and blame
social media for being the problem.

Speaker 2 (31:27):
And that's that's partially right.

Speaker 3 (31:29):
I guess, because nobody tried to help this woman while
she's just laying there in the street. Nine to one
point one switchboard should have absolutely lit up after that
first punch was thrown, but instead crickets nothing. Three people
arrested so far, and there's probably gonna be more. One
of those people, by the way, one of the men
arrested actually was out on bond after being indicted on

(31:53):
felony charges earlier this month.

Speaker 2 (31:57):
His bail four hundred bucks. That's why he was on
the street.

Speaker 3 (32:02):
Four hundred bucks on a felony charge or felony charges,
it said. Actually, ah police chief there said she won't
tolerate violence on her own city streets.

Speaker 2 (32:14):
Well she did, she just did. It took six.

Speaker 3 (32:18):
Minutes for law enforcement to get on the scene and
try to get some order.

Speaker 2 (32:24):
There were a few people who tried to get.

Speaker 3 (32:27):
In there and break it up, and if there'd been
enough of them, they maybe could have done something. But
the mob, the angry mob, was so big and so
powerful that the people who were trying to get in
there and help as one or two people they were
getting pounded to and had.

Speaker 2 (32:47):
To turn and run. Not very good. Not very good.

Speaker 3 (32:51):
I saw the story I told Will during the break.
It's the headline says, did a ring camera in La
catch a real live alien on video? Probably not. Here's
what happened, it says. A woman posted the footage this
past month back in June sometime and it's going viral.

Speaker 2 (33:14):
Why. I don't know why anybody would look at that.

Speaker 3 (33:17):
Well, I guess because of the headline it puts on
there did somebody catch a real alien on video? But
the answer is no. She claims that she has no
idea what this is, none whatsoever. Many, probably most of
the people who are looking at this with an open
mind and thinking what earthly thing could this possibly be?

(33:39):
And there is an explanation given here. And I'll tell
you that the first time that I looked at the video,
that indeed was the explanation I came up with too.
What you see is this shape floating kind of like
floating through the air. But then you look again and oh,

(34:00):
there's something carrying this shape.

Speaker 2 (34:03):
And what I am one hundred.

Speaker 3 (34:04):
Percent convinced that this alien is is just some dude
in dark clothes at night taking out the trash. He's
just walking his trash to the can, to.

Speaker 2 (34:16):
The curb wherever he's going. That was it? So too bad?

Speaker 3 (34:21):
Pastor and his wife in Denver very much in trouble,
arrested in fact for running a crypto scam. They solicited
three point four million dollars three point four million dollars
from their friends. And I guess some of their flock
use the money to do home renovations, because they said,

(34:43):
everybody can guess it with me, the Lord told him
to do it.

Speaker 2 (34:46):
No, he didn't back tomorrow, Audios,
