a healthier, happier life, andby Texas Indoor Air Quality Specialists because clean
air is healthier air. And nowfifty plus with Doug Pike. Alright,

(00:50):
Wednesday edition, No, Yes,Wednesday edition, beautiful Wednesday. Actually for
most of us, I wouldn't know, because Will and I are stuck in
the cubby hole again. The phonebooth studio, This studio should studio should
be named peebe for phone booth?Or is that too much? Too much?
Like a phone booth is bigger thanthis, That's what I'm thinking.

(01:11):
I don't know. It'd be akind of It would be a big phone
booth, That's all I'm since.Cozy, Ain't you probably fit uh six
payphones in here? For sure?Six pay if you could find six payphones
outside of a museum somewhere. Thereare payphones actually that still work in this

(01:32):
country. I don't know how many, and I don't know where. I
don't even know that there are anyin Houston, and I honestly, I
think I'd be surprised if there are, unless they are just in isolated areas
where somebody just forgot to kick themover and take them away. Have you
ever used a payphone? Yes?How long ago? When was the last

(01:52):
time you used a payphone? It'sprobably been a really long time minute,
as the young people say, AndI'd say it was probably with my mom
or my dad at some point whenI was held little. Yeah, you
could sell your dad. Yeah,you got to be more specific. Yeah,
for me, it would. Ibet it would be minimum ten to
twelve years at least that at leastthat because I can't recall it all needing

(02:17):
to use a pay phone since I'vehad a cell phone, and I've had
a cell phone actually for probably twentyyears, maybe more, I don't know.
Since the shoe box bolted in thebottom of your car seat, you
know that thing? Yeah, sothat goes way back anyway, It really
makes no difference. I don't knowwhy we're in this. Uh. If

(02:39):
today hadn't going so well for you, I hope things turn around quickly.
I've lived long enough now to knowthat the last thing anybody who's hit a
rough patch wants to hear is thatthey need to just pull themselves up by
their bootstraps and just march forward.Sometimes I think maybe it's better to just
kind of sit down and evaluate alittle bit, use as much objectivity as

(03:04):
you can to muster some direction,and then map out just kind of a
slow and steady plan to dig yourselfout of a hole. The way I
look at, as long as you'removing forward, making progress, then you're
making change for the better, andthat holds up for your health, your
finances, relationships work. If you'restill working, I'm becoming less and less

(03:30):
the norm and more and more theexception. When in among my peers aid
chronologically anyway, a lot of theseguys haven't worked in years, and more
power to them. I'm not jealousof them. They took a different road
than I took, and I clingto having had the wonderful opportunity when I

(03:54):
was at the newspaper to do Ican't tell you how many times I heard,
man, I wish I had yourjob. You're living the dream now
when you're young enough to really enjoyit, of doing all the things that
I what they're telling me that Iwant to do when I retire. I
have to wait a long time tomake the trips you're making, and so

(04:17):
I got to make them then.And I'm pretty happy for that. I
really am. So time now forhaikup highs and lows. Well that's gonna
stick. Maybe you could get somemusic, all right, weather music?
Look again, look again, Nowthat's not gonna work. So it's like

(04:39):
somebody stepping on a cat's tail.No hiku Hi's low's courtesy of Texas Indoor
Air Quality Specialists. Because cleaner airis healthier air. So here we go.
Will scattered rain today, nicer daysthrough the weekend, not as hot
next week. Well that's good,thank you, good good haikup or just

(05:00):
good good weather, good weather.Yeah, I figured as much. Off
to market we go. Just likethe big toe piggy. You know that
reference, right, will No,yes, you do. I'm not even
I'm gonna ignore that big toed piggy, The big toe piggy, Like this
little piggy went to market. Yes, big doors, how could I forget?

(05:27):
And this morning nothing but green actuallyall good news. Several of the
big indicators up north of a fullpoint. Unfortunately, the last time I
looked, oil also up, buta little more than a quarter, which
isn't on the That's not a scarynumber. On the brighter side, though,
Gold thanks to Houston gooldexchange dot comgold up fifteen bucks and ounce at

(05:49):
two thousand, three hundred and fortytwo dollars at the Dow, by the
way, was creeping back up intotwenty nine thousand at least territory last time
I look. So I don't knowwhat that's all about. I am still
just hopelessly pessimistic over what would happenif we re elected the man who is

(06:14):
in office now. Everything that's goodand going on right now would be reversed
on day one pretty much the sameway. And by the way, good
only means that these are temporary movesdesigned to pull the wall over our eyes
and make us think that in anyway, shape or for him, this
guy could pull us out of thehole he'd put us in, he would

(06:36):
just go right back to the samethings and worse because he would have renewed
confidence in his bad decisions. Movingon, I guess by the way.
I talk to my buddy Michael Claybournea couple of weeks ago, and I
wanted to mention. He reminded meabout what he does, and it made
sense to me. I'm thinking aboutone particular thing what he does. He

(06:58):
does everything from whole house water systems. He's a britpro guy and great systems
too. And something that I'm bawling, which is an eyeballing, which is
an under the counter filter that doesn'thave to be changed very often under the
sink actually and gives you pure waterright there at the kitchen sink. Pretty
good guy, you can use alittle What what I'm looking at doing and

(07:20):
I asked him and he said itcan be done is using what the official
faucets set up says is gonna bea soap dispenser. Well, we just
keep a bottle of dawn next tothe sink. That's what we do.
Michael's a good dude. Look himupwater at Texas dot com. So you
know, I'm gonna stop right therewill and I'm gonna avoid going into the

(07:42):
bizarre, weird stuff we're gonna talkto. We're gonna talk to Jordan Lear
in a few minutes. He fromTexas into air quality specialists about some of
the stuff that's in the air thatwe don't really think about. And the
reasons that he has done so wellfor so many years cleaning out ductwork is
because it may people healthier, andwe'll talk about that in a minute.
On the way out, I'll tellyou about a late health probably something you'd

(08:05):
rather not think about, but ahealthy prostate means a healthier, better life,
and doctor Doe over at late Health, it's happy to help you with
that. If you're older than sixtyand you have prostate issues that are not
cancerous, you're affected by BPH,that's probably keeping you from sleeping late is

(08:26):
keeping you. There's all kinds ofsymptoms that come along with that, and
he can fix them within a coupleof hours in the office, turn you
around, get your headed back hometo recover there, and in a short
time that prostate of yours that wasbeing so troublesome, so problematic, shrivels
up and dies. He can dothe same sort of relief for women who

(08:46):
are frustrated by fibroids. He cando ugly veins, make them go away.
There are all kinds of things.Even headache pain in some cases can
be treated with vascular accuracy. Justthe right little vein, the right little
artery cut off can solve a lotof problems. And most of what they
do over there at the Late Health'sclinics in around town is covered by Medicare,

(09:11):
which is fantastic in Medicaid seven onethree, five eight, eight thirty
eight eighty eight. Seven one three, five eight eight thirty eight eighty eight.
They also do regenerative medicine at lateHealth, which is a fantastic way
to get rid of chronic pain.A latehealth dot com a L A t
E A latehealth dot com? What'slife without a net? I suggest you

(09:33):
go to bed, sleep it off. Just wait until the show's over,
Sleepy. Back to Dougpike as fiftyplus continues. Here we go. Second

(09:56):
segment of the program starts right now. For that sip of water. Thanks
for the listener. I hope youbrought some friends to the show today.
In this segment, I'm going totalk about the importance of clean air in
our homes and how we can goabout getting it because it is important after
all. And with that, I'llwelcome back my friend Jordan Lera from Texas

(10:16):
Indoor Air Qualities Specialists. What's goingon, Jordan? Will? Do you
have him there for me? Hejust disconnected? Diddy? Oh no,
it won't take long get him back. He must you know what he might
be fishing. I wouldn't be surprisedbecause he does love to fish. See

(10:37):
if you can get him back forme. In the meantime, I will
let you guys know that. Krogeraccording And I was so tempted not to
do this because I want to getin line too. Kroger celebrating the Summer
Solstice, upcoming longest day of theyear by doling out forty five thousand pints

(10:58):
of free ice cream. To getone, you have to download a voucher
on their website. Now, I'mnot promising. Do you think you have
him now? Will I think so? Jordan? Come in, Jordan,
I'm good man. You have togo catch a call, did you.

(11:18):
Hey? No, if somebody needscleaner air to make it healthier in their
house, that's okay. You cantake a pause. Uh So, here's
the deal. There's not a lotwe can do about the air we breathe
outside, right, but we alsocan't keep that air for getting in our
homes either if we open a dooror window. Talk about what sort of
stuff comes in every time one ofthose seals is broken, well, Doug.

(11:43):
For for decades, the EPA hasbeen saying that indoor air is much
dirtier than outdoor air. It's becauseit's because everything that's outside does make its
way inside through a leaky house,and all houses leaked. So yeah,
that's what's gonna ask you about thatfor sure, Yeah, go ahead.

(12:07):
Yeah. But also once those contaminoutsget inside and get tripped, then you
add the human effect, which isour own our own systems, cooking,
pets, kids, and everything elseis drug in. So's a good point
that that's that's how the indoor airgets worse than outdoor air. And outdoor

(12:31):
air is not exactly perfect, isit. Indeed it is not. You
know, I was thinking about thatbefore I learned from you what I've learned
from you about what you do.I hadn't really paid attention to sahara and
dust or fires north or south ofus, stuff like that, airborne particles
that are just just washing through allour homes and through our lungs and just

(12:54):
kind of you know, our ownfiltration systems getting clogged up. You've been
I got to go to I wantto ask about this AC system thing too,
because I've heard a lot of differentanswers. You've been a license a
see guy for what thirty years orso somewhere in there, twenty something years?
How often should we be changing filters? Well? And that's a great
question, Doug, because prior tobeing in this business, I was in

(13:18):
the air filtration. The old ruleof thumb was every thirty days. But
now with the with the better filtersthat are on the on the market,
I personally use a ninety day filter. Oh well, okay, it's it's
it's more expensive, but it doessuch a great job of taking particulars out
of the air and helping to keepmy system clean that I go ahead and

(13:43):
spend the extra money that's fair toAnd now, the way those things are
built, I was told years agoby an AC guy sometime somewhere that to
just use the cheaper filters because it'llpull more and it won't it won't put
as much workload on the AC andwe sure don't want that thing going out.
Is that accurate or no? Thatthat can be dug. But the

(14:07):
problem is with those cheaper one ortwo dollars filters, where are you finding
that gets through? More stuff getsthrough the filter? Yeah, therefore therefore
gets into your and the first placeit's gonna stop is your evaporator coil.
Oh lord, the worst thing andmaking your system work harder is to have
a clogged evaporator coil. Yeah,that's a good point. I hadn't thought

(14:30):
about that. I might have toramp up my my filter purchases a little
bit and just maybe or maybe not, I've been buying cheap filters. I
don't know where the heck you're findingfilters for a dollar or two? What
century you from? Man? Well? That that that that's the old school
yeh, filters from way back.Boy. Yeah, I know, man,
and I've had a few of them, so boy. So obviously what

(14:54):
happens after a bunch of years ofdoing that, The stuff that dodge those
filters starts adding up all the waythrough the system. And if it's on
the coils, man, I knowwhat that's gonna do, because I've had
to deal with that. Jordan Leirehere from Texas Indoor Air Quality Specialists on
fifty plus. I've done at leastprobably two or three interviews since you came
on the program last about lung diseaseand COPD and all sorts of breathing issues.

(15:18):
And I would guess at least someof those things at least could have
been made less severe maybe if peoplewere breathing cleaner air in the house.
Is that accurate? That that isaccurate, Doug, because you say it
all the time. Cleaner air ishealthier area. And no matter what what
conditions you have or don't have,you talk about, every one should be

(15:41):
striving for the for the cleanest indoorenvironment they can get. Yeah, and
before we get but we only havetwo minutes left, believe it or not.
So first tell me what the heckof pneumatic whip does, because I
don't want somebody coming in my housethat I want this guy going to be
at my house for an hour maybeafter he cleaned out my gutters or shampooed
my carpet. Right, So yourguys use a pneumatic whip and how long

(16:03):
does that take to get done?Well? The length of time to clean
a typical air conditioning system and ducksystem in a house takes between eight and
ten man hours, so we alwayssend two technicians. Yeah, two technicians
are going to be for four tofive hours. A pneumatic whip is what
we use to run through the ducksystem, and our skilled trained technicians know

(16:29):
just how much pressure to put onthat whip to dislodge contaminants which gets sucked
back out to the truck and withoutdamaging the duck work. Yeah, that's
a big deal right there. Man, I don't want that. I'm having
to replace some old duck work.It's like thirty I think the house is
thirty years old. And my ACguys showed me said, look, man,

(16:49):
there's no insulation between your cold airand this attic heat, and that's
why you're losing a little stuff upthere. You ever get letters from customers,
let you know how much better theyfeel after getting one of your crews
out there. We do doug andin fact, it's always good to hear
from customers who say their house seemscleaner or their personal conditions are better.

(17:15):
Yeah, and they appreciate the professionalismand the work that we did. Well.
I certainly appreciate what you're doing forall these people in my audience,
so make sure that I'm gonna makesure that I keep telling them loudly and
clearly how important this is to theirhealth, because not one of us in
this audience getting any younger. Let'sface it. And if I can get
a little older and feel a littlebetter and get a little cleaner air rolling

(17:37):
through my lungs, maybe I canlast a little bit longer. Jordan and
Learra, Texas Indoor Air Quality Specialists. Pound two fifty. That's all you
got to do, pound two fiftyhealthy air. And you're probably gonna pick
up the phone, aren't you.Yes, sir, that's good man.
All right, I'm gonna keep tellingthem. I'm gonna tell them until they
figure it out. And this isa pretty smart Audience't take long. Yeah,

(18:00):
thank you, Jordan. I seelater, buddy, Audios. That's
Jordan Lera from Texas Indoor Air QualitySpecialists. I can't emphasize strongly enough how
how sincere he is too. He'snot trying to sell you something other than
cleaner, healthier air. That's whathe's been doing for two dozen years,
and I'm grateful that he's allowing meto speak for him. I truly am,

(18:25):
I truly am all right on theway out Alpine, Texas, way
out in the big Bed. It'sout there. Okay, it's a drive
and a half. I'm telling youstraight up. But if you will make
that drive, you will be gladyou did. Little bitty town with a
big old heart, surrounded by thatbig Bend area, one of the most
beautiful landscapes in Texas. You're lookingfor something different this fourth of July Trialpine,

(18:51):
warm days, cool nights, adark, dark night sky too.
If you want to see some starslike you have never seen them, if
you haven't been out of here Houstonbefore Independence Day, small town style,
they're going to be a baseball game. They're going to be wonderful. Summer
theater presentation of Sherwood, The Adventuresof Robinhood that was written by Ken Ludwig,
by the way, and just anendless supply of no stress relaxation now

(19:18):
if you're tough enough. There's alsothere are ghost tours of Alpine that start
and end in the cemetery there,which is pretty cool, and you'll learn
about people who actually lived in Alpineand who have some really wild and crazy
stories. A fantastic beautiful little town. Fourth of July. There's going to

(19:38):
be a parade, There's going tobe fireworks. They got that. The
Alpine Cowboys, I believe they areAlpine Cowboys, little professional team out there,
pretty good ballplayers. Visit ALPINETX dotcom. Is the website. Go
look at it, really, Goto the website and get an idea.
It would be an amazing place totake your family for a a very fun,

(20:00):
very affordable week of just relaxation inwhat will seem like the middle of
anywhere and nowhere, But it'll haveall the creature comforts you need. Visit
Alpine TX dot com. Yeah,they sure don't make them like they used
to. That's why every few monthswe wash him, check his fluids,
and spring on a fresh coat ofwax. This is fifty plus with Doug

(20:23):
Pike. All right, welcome backon this Wednesday afternoon, Segment three,
and Will says, I have togo fast with this one, right,
did I just went a little long? It's okay, that's important stuff.

(20:45):
Cleaner air day you a hundred times? Will have you called him yet?
No? Yeah? Rent, Yeah, I don't get a choice in that.
It's just whoever it comes to thedoor landlord doesn't care about your air,
doesn't care about me, cares aboutmy money. It's kind of synonymous.
So into the world of weird wemarched now into a land where the

(21:08):
left said under Biden's conviction yesterday provesthat no one is above the law,
when in fact it proved nothing ofthe sword. I don't have time to
lay out the difference between difference saysreally between his trial and that of former
President Trump, which is loaded bythe way his was. President Trump's was

(21:29):
with reasons to eventually get it overturned. It shouldn't take long, shouldn't take
long at all. Enough of that, if you haven't heard yet. A
Texas judge has issued a permanent injunctionagainst proposed changes to Title nine that were
set out by our current president andwould have made gender identity a class and

(21:52):
in K through twelve schools would haveallowed boys to use the girls restrooms and
locker rooms. And my concern thereis that while some transgenders are I'm sure,
very committed to their position and theirfeelings about who they are and what

(22:14):
they are, but I also seeroom for abuse of that opportunity by some
who would stand there and squarely looka teacher or administrator in the eye and
say, yes, I believe I'ma girl, and then use that for
bad purposes. The world is justgoing nuts. Where do I want to

(22:41):
go from here? I've done that. I've done that, which is great.
This whole boys in the girls restroomsand locker room says, we're just
insisting that our children are children besubmitted to very awkward at best and very
dangerous worst situations, and that thatjust isn't gonnea. That doesn't work with

(23:04):
me, and for all the rightreasons. In terrorist news cash only two
minutes left, six men believe tohave ties to ISIS. You probably already
heard about. I hope you've heardabout this terrorist group that I believe was
first video the beheadings of hostages.By the way, six men suspected of
being involved with ISIS have been arrestedinside our country, inside our country.

(23:30):
And my first question, since we'vegot at least ten million more people about
whom we know nothing and came herefrom all over the world, many of
them young men from countries not exactlyknown for letting their citizens leave without a
really good reason. Since we've alreadyidentified tens of thousands more young men,
men of soldiering age, just walkinginto America and getting treated like royalty compared

(23:56):
ironically to the way we treat ourown veterans. Stop here before getting more
frustrated on that. Our current president, by the way, rendered us more
vulnerable to an attack from within thanever in this nation's history. The effort
to keep our southern border open hasbeen deliberate, it's been calculated, and
we're seeing more and more evidence ofsurveillance around our military installations. Quantico got

(24:21):
well, somebody tried to breach QuanticoMarine Base a couple of weeks ago,
and then more recently, naval bases. We find out from somebody who wears
the most metals in the Navy,they're being tested weekly, like three to
five times weekly, all over thecountry by people young men typically who drive

(24:42):
up claiming to be tourists or studentswho just are fascinated with ships. They're
not students, they're scouts. They'renot fooling anybody set to evaluate our security
measures, then sharing with people whowill somehow turn that against us. We'll
take a lo little break. I'lltake a little break, try to relax
a little bit. It gets meall fired up. When I think of

(25:03):
that, I'll tell you about KirkCoombs. Kirkcombs has been a custom builder
for the better part of thirty threefour years now. I'm not sure third
generation company. I know that,family owned and operated and they build now
primarily from northwest Houston out through theHill Country in all directions about a ninety

(25:26):
degree cone out through the hill Countrythat goes over to San Antonio, then
up to College Station, then overto Austin. Absolutely gorgeous homes. I've
been in a half dozen of themat least, and I've seen more,
and I've looked at the website somany times and just am amazed. When
and if it's my time to buildmy dream home for my wife and me

(25:47):
and my son, maybe he will. Maybe he'll be off build his own
dream home home by then. Eitherway, the first call I'm gonna make
is to Kirkcolmbs. They're the twentyfour Southern Living Builder of the Year.
Every time I turn around, they'rewinning another award, and rightfully so.
The only thing common among all oftheir homes is the twenty year structural warranty,
which is twice the standard, andthe two by six exterior walls for

(26:11):
fifty percent more insulation around the perimeterof that home from our gosh awful temperature
extremes. Kirkholmes dot com is thewebsite. Everything else about that home you
build with them will be as uniqueas your family's fingerprints. K You are
k because at kirk Holmes it's allabout you, aged to perfection. This

(26:33):
is fifty plus with Dougpike. Hi, welcome back fifty plus. Thank you
for listening on this beautiful I guessit's still pretty outside. I can't tell.
We're in the phone booth again.Phone booth, cracker box. What

(26:56):
you sounds so sad to be inhere? Shoe box. This is where
I spend most of my days.Yeah, but by yourself, you had
you got an elbow room when I'mnot in here. All right, let's
move on, shall we. Let'sdo that. Let me see if oh,
this is interesting. There is alot of there's always good news.
Wherever there's bad news. Boy,we've got plenty going around. There's good

(27:18):
news as well, and I'll giveyou some of those right now. A
guy in Oregon driving away, he'sgoing to probably into town to get some
stuff. Family's been camping for aday or two. I don't know exactly
all that much detail about the story, but he and the four dogs.
Because he has four dogs and theyall like to ride the truck, he
loads up all four dogs. Theytake off. The truck slides off the

(27:42):
road and tumbles into a ravine.The guy's pretty banged up, but he
manages to crawl about one hundred yardsback up toward the road, and then
that's just all he had in him. So he spent the night on dry
ground at east one of his fourdogs. I guess the other three stayed

(28:03):
with him because they were all okay, in case you're worried about the dogs
more than the guy. All fourdogs okay. One of those four dogs
actually said, you know what,you chumps, You just stay here and
let me handle this. You guysstay here, take care of him.
I'll handle the rest. And thatdog somehow navigated four miles of wilderness back

(28:30):
to the campsite. My guess isit just got back up to the road
and then ran back up the road. They say he went through four miles
of wilderness. I'm not sure aboutthat. In any event, he made
his way back to the campground andto the man's family and they knew something
was wrong because he wouldn't have letany of those dogs get out and get
loose like that. And they foundthe guy the next morning, had to

(28:53):
take him out by life light toa regional hospital. He's going to be
okay. The dog's going to beokay. And there's a good news story
right there, very good news andinteresting local news. We'll bring it all
the way back here to Houston.First bid is in for a complete makeover
of I forty five, the golffreeway, which I don't think has ever

(29:15):
not been under construction overall. Theestimated budget for this project was it's going
to include two dozen individual projects totalof about eleven billion dollars in change is
what they're pegging it at today.That's an operative phrase right there today and

(29:37):
keyword that first bid, by theway, on the very first of these
two dozen projects came in twenty millionover budget. They already are off by
twenty million, So final cost projectedeleven billion. What do you think will
twenty billion if they're lucky? Andwhat I want to know is how many
years more going to take? Iwas not listening, no, okay,

(30:08):
I saw a Congressional Committee hearing,by the way, with somebody involved in
monitoring unlawful immigration and lawful immigration,all of that stuff, and that person
very proudly noted and shared with thisCongressional committee that the migrants who are here
under Joe Biden's watch have contributed abouttwelve billion dollars annually in productivity to this

(30:36):
country, to which one of thecongressmen asking the questions, asked her if
she knew what those same people werecosting American taxpayers. A nope, she
said, nope, not a clue. Why don't you tell me? And
he said, sure, I will, And I believe the number he threw
out there was about one hundred andtwenty billion dollars, so kind of not

(31:02):
really contributing when you take that intoand I could be off a few bits,
I could be off a lot ofbillions of dollars and still be totally
right in that it's costing us more. And what really irks me, and
I've said it so many times,I said it earlier in the program.
These people are coming here and theyare being treated so much better than poor

(31:25):
Americans, so much better than ourveterans. And that's what really that's what
really irks the heck out of me. All right, will you have to
pay attention now on the road again? Fine with me? Or I'll drink
to that on the road again,thanks Willie. According to the survey,

(31:48):
was that him? Oh that wasme? Oh okay. Percent of Americans
enjoy road trips, but for differentreasons younger adults. Do you like road
trip? Will would you? Ido? I've gone on many. Okay,
so what do you get out ofthem? What do you like about
road trips? I just like lookingoutside and ye know, taking it all

(32:12):
kind of like the family dog justrolled the wind down for you. It's
nice because you know when you're whenyou especially in Texas, you have to
