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?
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Well? This show is all about you, only the good die.
This is fifty plus with Doug Pike. Helpful information on
your finances, good health, and what to do for fun.
Fifty plus brought to you by the UT Health Houston
Institute on Aging, Informed Decisions for a healthier, happier life
(00:42):
and Bronze Roofing Repair or Replacement. Bronze Roofing has you covered?
And now fifty plus with Doug Pike. All right, here
we go on Tuesday. Thank you all for joining us,
for sharing your lunch hour. I don't think just trying
to recall everything I have in front of me here
my notes. I don't think there's anything really here that
(01:02):
would would be cringey or queasy while you enjoy a
nice warm or warm meal, maybe a cold sandwich, maybe
some soup. I think the cold sandwich really would go
better today. Although I'm I could probably stand to eat
more hot meals than cold ones, and I currently i'm
(01:27):
about fifty percent.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
I guess doesn't matter another sunny day on which to
just sift through the balogney sandwich being served up as
we get closer and closer to this election. Oh my gosh,
I just cannot believe how many Americans continue to just
lap up the lies being served by mainstream media. And
they're still doing exactly what I've talked about for more
than a month now. They're accusing Republicans of doing exactly
(01:51):
what they are doing, which makes it really hard for
a lot of people who've forgotten how or never been
taught how to think for themselves. It's really hard for
them to tell who's telling the truth. You have to
do your own digging, You have to do your own
fact checking, which of course gets harder when social media
(02:11):
platforms and search engines manipulate the information we're allowed to see.
And that's just it's another little nail and the coughing
of free speech. Interesting that we learned about so many
incidents of censorship weeks and months and sometimes years after
they occur. This these just blatant incidents of censorship, and oh,
(02:43):
we found out that this happened two years ago. Well,
it doesn't matter anymore, It doesn't matter anymore. And yet
we keep on allowing it to happen. That's the frightening
part we are learning. So the laptop Russian collusion, that
what was this i'm dossier that was supposed to have
been a big deal and all of it turns out
(03:04):
to be fake and nobody calls out the people who
who did the fakery. It's frightening. It really is. Just
so oh yeah, it's okay, it happened a long time ago.
It doesn't matter anymore. Yeah, it does matter. It matters
because there's a pattern here, and until something is done,
(03:25):
that pattern won't be broken until the people who are
doing all this are shown the door. Basically, they'll just
keep doing it, and a lot of people will keep
letting them. Oh well, all right. Anyway to the weather map,
which is quite boring at president actually, with one day
(03:46):
looking a lot like the next, and all the way
through the weekend, which leads almost flawlessly really into this
week's highs and lows in Haikou, which by the way,
actually takes a little time to create on a daily basis.
It's not something you can just sit down and go
five seven five, let's see what do we got here. Okay,
that's good, No, it takes more time than that. It's
(04:08):
a lot of effort goes into this Will. In case
you're not aware, it's really a struggle, a daily struggle
will to come up with something that I think will
earn me a higher score than I made yesterday or
the day before that. I lay awake nights will just
thinking about haiku.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
It's the artistic process, does it is? It's very it's
very taxing. Not everything you make is gold, you know,
And I gotta be the one to set you straight.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Yeah, okay, let's go with that. Are you ready? Yes?
Do you like today? If so, you'll love tomorrow and
the next three days?
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Okay, Well, as I said before we started the show,
I'm not sure I really like today.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
My powers out again? Oh Will, I'm so sorry. But
the personal matters in the bright side, Will you and
a lot of your neighbors are getting one of those
shiny new brown fiberglass poles yep, that kind of probably
shouldn't maybe really fall down. I don't know if it doesn't,
she whizz, I do too. Will you know? The main
(05:22):
thing that I actually have seen done and it looks
pretty weird in some places, is they finally chopped all
the tree limbs away from the power lines, which should
have been that ought to be done on a yearly basis.
I agree annually yeah, or but but not as has
been the case after a hurricane that knocks out power.
(05:42):
Oh that that tree limb on that line actually caused
that to go out. Well, we'll cut that line back.
We'll cut that limb off. Let's go get it out
of the way. No, that that needs to be done. Well,
one of these tree companies around town ought to get
a contract. If they can get any kind of contract
like that generator company got man Man eight hundred million
dollars for generators that never started up. We need to
(06:06):
start a tree company. We're gonna start a limb off
the wires company and just never cut the limbs off
the wires. It'd be the same as the generator thing, right, genius, Okay,
I'm giving your secrets away on somebody's gonna profit from
that idea. That happens a lot with me. I have
these brilliant ideas and somebody steals them and makes a
(06:29):
lot of money off of them. I'm sitting on two
of them right now, and I'm not even gonna tell
you what they are well, Doug, I will give you
a score. Are you ready? I'm waiting that.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Despite my own personal feelings, I'm putting those aside. Okay,
that was a seven point nine.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Whoa, that was all I had written down. Wow, four
point seven's what I had. I thought you were going
to really just rake me over the cold. Thank you
will for that generous, generous thing. All right, we should
probably start to head out on out and get ready
to talk to Matt. Yes, we're gonna be talking to
(07:07):
Matt Bushaw in just a few minutes. And yeah, we'll
get to that. I want to get out on time
so we can have as much time with him as possible.
Bronze roofing thirty plus years, thirty plus years of quality
work at a fair price. If you get your roof
inspected every couple of years and make sure there's nothing
little that can become big in the problem area, then
(07:29):
it's gonna last you, what, fifteen, sixteen, eighteen years some
of these roofs now, high wind, rain, falling, debris. We
get all of that over the course of any year
around here. And you don't want to just wait until
nobody's looking and crawl up there and look around for yourself. First,
it's dangerous. Second, you don't know what you're looking at,
(07:49):
and you don't know what you're looking for. Called Bronze roofing,
they will come out and give you a free inspection.
Usually within twenty four hours, you'll have a pro on
that roof taking care of business, residential, commercial, tile, asphalt, shingle.
If there's a problem, they'll show you pictures, tell you
how much it's gonna cost. You, tell them to get started,
and everybody will be happy in a very short time.

Now they sure don't make them like they used to.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
That's why every few months we wash them, check his
fluids and spring on a fresh cod o wax.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
This is fifty plus with Doug Pike. All right, welcome
back fifty plus. Thank you all for listening, certainly to
appreciate it. We are trying to tie in with my
next guest, who was just wrapping up another interview somewhere
(08:49):
else in the country, and hopefully are we there will
Let's see, let's find out we are. Well. Here's the
bottom line in this But we're going to talk about
a choice that's available to a good percentage of home buyers,
is a sustainable, safe energy source. And we're gonna hear
about it from an expert who's actually in a beautiful
custom home all the way over where my niece lives
(09:13):
in Charleston, South Carolina. He's Matt Bleshaw, a former host
of the on the DIY Network and HGTV's Yard Crashers
and Build It Forward. Matt, are you there?
Speaker 4 (09:26):
I am here because it is just beautiful out here?
Speaker 3 (09:31):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Thanks, thanks for that. It's just it's hot here still,
and I guess I've lived here long enough that I
can make believe it's pretty. It's sometimes it is, sometimes
it's not. So how how Matt, do you define safety, sustainability,
and resilience in a home.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
Yeah, let's start with how you power it? Right?
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Well, yeah, I'm headed that way.
Speaker 4 (09:54):
Oh yeah, where are you at?
Speaker 2 (09:56):
What part of the country in Houston?
Speaker 4 (10:00):
Houston? Okay? So yeah, you guys know about the propane
out there, So yeah, your way along the propane train.
You know, it provides clean energy, it works efficiently. So
why I'm out here near the Kiowa River is that
we built. There's a custom home that we installed a
propane tank, a thousand gallon propane tank, and we are
(10:23):
powering almost every major appliance in this massive home, almost
six thousand square feet, so everything from tankle to water heaters.
You got inside places, your range. You also got the
outdoor pool that we're heating. Backup generator, which is huge.
You guys need a backup generator out there. Yeah, and
(10:46):
I tell you that, yeah, And you got to be
prepared you honestly, you know, we're seeing it more and
more and more. I mean just yesterday we had a
tropical storm hit in North Carolina that you know, sixteen
inches of rain in an hour, and we just don't
know when it's coming, So the time is now. Propane
is a great way to power your generator for two
(11:09):
separate reasons. One, you have energy independence, right, you have
that that that propane tank right there ready to be used.
Not only that, is that the propane it combusts cleaner
than gas, So gas has a shelf life from six
months to eight months. You got to maintain it a lot,
and then when it combusts, it can kind of gull
off the engine a little bit. Propane. It's clean, it
(11:32):
burns clean, and it's going to make your appliances that
use propane lasts longer than they would with you know,
electric and gas.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
I like the idea of that thousand gallon tank that's
bigger in some of the backyard above ground pools I've
seen around here. I think.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
I'll tell you we buried it in the ground too,
because they're like, oh, I want an ugly tank in
the backyard, Well you put it right on the ground.
And another, you know, one of the one of the
biggest arguments that I hear is well, I don't want
to look at that chain. Don't don't have to take
that tank into town on a trailer to go fill
it up. Now, you you have a propane professional that
comes about and talks with you and knows your family's
(12:10):
needs and then recognize those needs, and before you need it,
it's he's going to come out and make sure that
it's filled, you know, before the you know, especially before
the winter, or you know, you got times that you
need it the most. You are never going to have
to worry about it. And we talked about energy independence.
You know, there's a lot of people looking for homes
you know, there's not enough homes in America, and then
(12:31):
where should I do? Could I buy land? And if
you buy land inside the city limits, it's skyrocket high.
Now you have thenity, it's nuts. And now you have
the opportunity with propane to build outside of the city limits.
And the house that we're in right now would not
be possible if it wasn't for propane being on our
energy side.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
I've got a friend Matt over here, a custom builder who,
by the way, the Southern Living builder of the year.
That's all they are, Kirk Holmes, and I called a
I emailed Chris McGinley and asked him what he thought
about pro paying before I took this interview. He said,
one hundred percent. I'm all in. I love it, I
absolutely love it. So I sent him another email this morning, said,
(13:11):
if you know offhand what percentage of the homes you're
building now and these are all his average his starting
build is around seven hundred thousand, and he said, ninety
percent or more of the homes they're building now are
using pro power.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
That's amazing. And you know a lot of the homeowner,
the home builders that I know, you know you are
our sixty seventy percent. My father in law who is
he's a custom home builder in Missouri. It's it's not
a discussion. People say, well, wow, pro paine is with life,
you know, that's what we use. That is our source.
And because you know, there's there's so many good benefits
(13:49):
to it, you know, like I talked about, you know,
helps with you know, not only it's a clean burner,
but you know also it will just help your your
your all your appliances'll lasts longer. And so we always
talk about the health inside your whatever you're burning on
the inside, right, that's going to you know, emit into
the air, so that propaine, being as clean as it is,
(14:11):
it burns hotter. You know this, so you can cook
things quicker and heats things quicker, but also it burns
cleaner so that your inside air remains you know, safe
for the family as well well.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
And generally, and correct me if I'm wrong, Matt, but
generally you're going to save a lot of money using
propane over like Christie right, you know in the.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
Long run, absolutely absolutely, because your bills, they make them great.
There's a great technology. Your friend probably knows about it.
They're putting AI you know things that are way smarter
than me. Inside these appliances. There is a propane tankless
water heater that will now start learning about your showering
habits and know when you take the hot water, will
(14:53):
give you more energy at the time that you need it,
and then will all of a sudden reduce its energy
when you out, So that means lower bills over time.
And then couple with the fact that it runs on
propane so much cleaner, that appliance is going to last
for a lot longer as well. So across the board,
that's going to save you.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Cost what it would It be a good example to
say that, let's say, for in the shower example, instead
of a water heater, I've got gas water heaters and
they just they all the water's always always hot. But
if I'm never taking showers with this AI, if I'm
never taking showers from say eight o'clock to seven in
the evening, it may let the temperature come down a
(15:34):
little and then kick it back on later, right for
when I do shower exactly.
Speaker 4 (15:38):
Yeah, man, yeah, a lot of Yeah, we use a lot.
There's some you can put a timed pump, right, recirculator
research pump is what we call it, and so we
put that on there where you can just do a
set time where you say, okay, all right, so you
know this is when the time that I need my
hot water and then it's you know, it will start
to recirculate that water a little bit. Now with this
(16:00):
eye technology, you know, it's it's now understanding you, it's
seeing what you use, and then it is without you
thinking about it helping you save money. And this is
just going to get better and better over time as
we start to put this AI technology within these appliances.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
So where Matt Blushaw should we be looking for more
information and what should be what what should we be researching?
We got about a minute. That's it, no.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
No problem yet. Absolutely you guys need to go to
propain dot com forward slash for my home and this
is going to show you some incredible ways to use
pro pain and then it's going to take kind of
the you know, simplicity of just it's for barbecues, and
it's going to show you of not only of how
(16:47):
good it can be for your family. Good it can
be for this, you know, for for for our footprint,
our carbon footprint on on on this world. But it's also,
like you said, it's going to save you on your
energy costs because you're going to be able to conserve
that energy. So all the information you need is right there,
and I hope you guys look at it.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
De we will propane dot com slash for my home.
I looked at that website a little bit today. I'm
all fired up for my dream home whenever that happens.
Matt Blashaw, thank you so very much for your time, sir.
Speaker 4 (17:18):
I appreciate it. Thanks for having you.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Bet enjoy South Carolina.
Speaker 4 (17:21):
Man.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
I wish I was there right beside you.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
Will. I'm going outside right now.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
All right, audios, All right, that was Matt Blashaw. We're
talking about propane. I really got kind of excited when
I went and did my research at that site. And
it's certainly worth looking at if you're considering building a home,
or if you're retrofitting a home that maybe just needs
a little upgrade and you got some got some thoughts
(17:48):
on your mind on how to power that home. Take
a look at propane. It was kind of cool, really,
and when I realized that you can you can kind
of tack in to the line a generator to generate
the electricity you need for lights and all in the
air conditioner certainly that we have to have here. All
of a sudden, you've got a very efficient system, a
(18:08):
very efficient system that will run the whole house. And
that's when I got the word from Chris over at
kirk HOLMBS. That was as much an endorsement as I needed,
because I know that guy wouldn't steer me wrong. It
won't steer you wrong either. All Right, we got to
take a little break here. On the way out, I'll
tell you about ut House Institute on Aging, an amazing
(18:30):
collaborative of providers from pretty much every medical discipline there is.
They're mostly around the med Center, but they also work
some days, not all days, a lot of them out
in the outlying clinics and hospitals and other medical facilities
around town. So you don't have to drive into town
if you don't want to. You don't have to drive
into the middle of Houston. You can probably find plenty
(18:53):
of members of that Institute on Aging out where you are.
And one of the reasons you'll want to go looking
for them is because every one of these people has
taken on additional education to apply their knowledge about whatever
it is in medicine, they know to apply it to seniors,
and that's so important for us. Our clock ticks differently
(19:17):
than that of young people, and there's nothing wrong with us,
nothing wrong with them. We're just a little different because
our parts are kind of wearing out. And it's good
to have somebody on your team who knows about that
and can see that coming before it even happens in
a lot of cases, and help you avoid becoming sick,
avoid getting yourself in trouble. Ut h dot ed u
(19:42):
slash aging. That's a website. Go there, take a look around,
make yourself an appointment, Go go get a consultation with
some of these people and just thumb through. It will
take you a while. All the resources available as well
at that site. Ut h dot edu slash aging, ut

Speaker 1 (20:02):
Aged to Perfection. This is fifty plus with Doug Pike.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Blie. Welcome back to fifty plus. Thank you all for listening.
I certainly do appreciate it. I'm looking at a story.
I'll have to look at that more before I can
share it with you. We didn't get a chance because
we had to abbreviate the first segment to make sure
that we got back in time. Matt's a busy guy
over there, and said, it can't be hard sitting there.
(20:38):
You could tell almost that he's sitting in a house
that's being built, a custom house. Sounded kind of echoe in,
like any empty house sounds until you get stuff in there.
But I like where he is.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
I do.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
It's a beautiful part of the country. I've been to
both the Carolinas on both of their coastlines for fishing
trips back when I was editing Tide magazine for CCA,
and absolutely loved it over there. It's beautiful, all right.
So off to market we go, thanks to Houston gooldexchange
dot com. Lots of green on the board again today,
but no no major movement. Really, Oil sadly up a
(21:16):
little more to a dollar and now once again north
of seventy one bucks. Gold lost more than ten announced,
but was still close to twenty six hundred just an
hour ago. Maybe an hour, yeah, about an hour ago.
Last time I looked from several hours ago. A sad
story and one that it's really frustrating, honestly on a
(21:38):
lot of levels for me. This happened early this morning
a Houston Chronicle story reported that a police officer was
shot in northwest Houston. Two suspects detained in a third
on the loose at this point. Hopefully they'll round him
up too. We're lucky, honestly, that there are still men
(21:59):
and women will just suit up and pin on a
badge every day for us. They know every time, and
more concerning to me, their families know every time. Every
time they walk out the door and go to that job,
anything can happen. They have good training, thank god, but
(22:22):
they still can't. They still can't train for every scenario,
and there still are opportunities for the bad guys to
do crazy things to them. The disrespect shown by some
of these people towards law enforcement truly does bother me.
Truly does bother me. Well, let's light it up for
(22:44):
a couple of minutes, okay, because boy, I got all kinds.
I got a page and a half more of interesting stuff, including,
by the way, a story that pop today I think
it was this morning that includes fifteen bits of left
leaning things that have been said that certainly sound like
(23:09):
they might encourage people to do bad things to good people.
I'll just leave it at that for now. We'll get
to it maybe later. Hard to believe. Will I want
one of these or fifty fathoms club? Hard to believe
the average person. I don't think this is enough on
two counts. The average person that says here spends thirty
(23:31):
seven minutes shopping in Costco. Do you go to Costco? No?
Nor do I? So I don't know. I have friends
who go, and I suspect they spend more than thirty
seven minutes in there, and they spend on average one
dollar and seventy five cents per minute that they're in
the store. So that's only a total of sixty four
dollars and seventy five cents. That's it. That's one tub
(23:56):
of mayonnaise in there. That five gallon bucket of mayonnaise
costs that much? Will I think? Would you buy five
gallons of mayonnaise? Now? Would you buy one gallon?
Speaker 3 (24:08):
No?
Speaker 2 (24:10):
Quart? No?
Speaker 4 (24:11):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
I don't really use mayonnaise that often. You don't have
to use it very often. It's and all of that stuff.
I go down that condiment aisle on a regular basis,
and between the mayonnaise and miracle whip and mustard and ketchup,
and then on the other side of the aisle is
(24:32):
the jellies and jams and peanut butter. They might as
well be selling golden nuggets in there for what they're asking.
It's incredible. I'm gonna give you one more chance to
get through one of these that I really want to
talk about. Fifty fathoms club hot pants or small world. Huh,
small world this is I found this kind of interesting will.
(24:55):
When JFK was single in nineteen forty one, he dated
a journalist named Inga Arvad, who was one of Hitler's
personal guests at the nineteen thirty six Olympics. Oh, it's
just a fun fact to know and tell. There's really
(25:17):
no backstory or anything that I have in front of
me here. It's just that exactly what I have is
what I had. What I read is all I have
on that. But you can fill in the blanks. JFK
pretty good looking young man hanging out over wherever. I
don't know. It says he dated her. I don't know
whether it was. He probably here in the United States,
(25:40):
and I'm sure she was an attractive young woman, and
I'm sure the sparks flew. Who knows doesn't matter one more.
Chance will fifty fathoms club. I want one of these
or hot pants, all of which have been introduced before.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
All right, I'll do if the Fathoms Club.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
That is, it's pretty good. The US Navy, for the
first time ever commissioned a co ed submarine. Just you
can just fill in the blanks as to why I
named that what I did? All right, to see what
I mean? Do you get it?
Speaker 3 (26:22):
Yes, I'll understand what you're talking, you filthy old man.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
Hardly hardly will uh political rhetoric? How much time do
I have twenty second? Never mind about the rhetoric. I
want one of these. I'll tell you I can do
that in fifteen seconds. Chappottle's new Autocato robot can cut,
core and peel avocados in twenty six seconds. I want
(26:51):
one of those, I do. I would eat so much
more guacamole if somebody do it for me like that.
Just turn on the autocado robot and let him chop
up about a dozen of them, and then I'll do
the whipping up after that and then eat it all.
I love walk them only and avocados. Don't let age
sneak up on you go to a late health keep
(27:12):
yourself healthy. Okay, by a quarter of men listen to this,
A quarter of men have enlarged prostates and symptoms of that.
But by the time they're fifty five, and the numbers
just keep going up with age. I'm sixty eight. Figure
out where I am now, go to a late health,
get an exam, get the treatment you need. Gonna be
(27:32):
covered by Medicare too. It's called prostate artery embolization. That's
what they do. They're a vascular they are vascular clinics.
A late health is there's more than one, and so
what they do is they identify that artery and then
they plug it up. They shut off the spiggot and
no more blood gets to that prostate. It shrinks, and
(27:54):
along with it go the symptoms. Same for fibroids, same
in some cases for head pain, same for ugly veins.
They can do an awful lot of things with some little,
tiny little tubes that they can thread intricately through those
arteries and then inject a little stuff. I don't know
whether they use silly putty or Elmer's glue or what plato,
(28:18):
I'm not sure. Whatever it is sand whatever it is,
it plugs up that artery and stops the problem right
and its tracks. Most of what they do covered by
Medicare and Medicaid, and if you by the way, they're
also doing regenerative medicine now too, which is tremendously helpful
with chronic pain. A latehealth dot com Ala t e

thirty eight eighty eight. Write this number down or try
to remember it, or ask a younger person to remember
it for you. Seven one, three, five eight eight thirty
eight eighty eight old guy's rule. And of course, women
never get old if you want to avoid sleeping on
(29:00):
the couch. I think that sounds like a good breath.
Fifty plus continues. Here's more with Doug.
Speaker 4 (29:13):
Hout it up, put up.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
Here we go one three threepole fish six seventy eight nineteen.
You've never done that. I don't know why. Well, because
there's no reason. Welcome back. Final segment of fifty plus
starts right now. Thank you also very much for joining us.
There's been so much I want to read a few things.
This was from a bright Bart story this morning that
(29:35):
pointed out fifteen incidents where the left said some pretty
nasty things that if someone who is a little bit
off center hears them or heard them. These have all
been said already, someone who might be a little off
(29:58):
plumb might take that to heart and want to act
on it. And it's just really scary that all of
these things were so easy for the bright Bart people
to find. Representative Hai King Jeffrey, He's a Democrat from
New York said of President Strump President Trump, we must
(30:22):
stop him. This one really got my attention. Rachel Vindaman,
she is the sister in law of a politician. Where
do I have his I have his credentials on this
other page. I can tell you exactly where he's from.
He is from? Well, no, I can't because I can't
(30:46):
find it. Oh yeah, right here, he is from Virginia.
I believe he is from Virginia. And yes, I finally
got to it. Made sure his sister in law, Rachel
Vindman said in a Twitter post that was pretty quickly
taken back down. This is right after the assassination attempt
(31:10):
over the weekend on President Trump. She said, quote no
ears were harmed. Carry on with your Sunday afternoon end
quote leftist podcast. Or she is from Representative Mickey Cheryl
a Democrat from New Jersey, and I quote, this really
(31:30):
seems to be the confluence of two very bad things
going on in the Republican Party, the attempts to divide
to enrage the population. End quote. No, mickey, it's not
the Republican Party doing that, it's your party. You're doing
exactly what. I continue to talk about, how they accuse
(31:52):
the other side of doing exactly what they are doing
to just confuse everybody.
Speaker 4 (31:58):
Hmm.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
State Rep. Stephen Woodrow, a Democrat from Colorado, said the
last thing America needed was sympathy for the devil. But
here we are. That's not very kind. Somebody gets shot
at and hit in the ear once, only by the
grace of God did he move his head far enough
(32:21):
to avoid taking that shot. And then somebody else hiding
in the bushes with a rifle. I have a theory
on what's gonna happen to that guy, and not long,
not long from now, and we'll just see if it
comes to pass. And if it does, I'll tell you
exactly what I was thinking.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
Ah.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
Here's another one. This comes from Lester Holt, NBC News.
Lester Holt the one and only quote today's apparent assassination
attempt comes amid increasingly fierce rhetic rhetoric on the campaign trail.
Mister Trump, his running mate ad Vance continue to make
baseless claims. End quote. Really, which of those claims that
(33:06):
they've made are baseless, mister Holt. I'd love to hear
from you on that. MSNBC's Alex Wit and I quote,
do you expect there to be calls from within the
Trump campaign to and then paraphrasing, tone it down? End quote. Well,
they're not doing what the other side's doing. And this
(33:28):
is a really scary one from the Washington Post. Columnist
name Phil Bump writes, and I quote, another chance for
Trump to frame Democrats as dangerous has emerged. I think
he just meant to say, as danger has emerged. No,
we're not framing anybody. It happened. It happened, Phil. Nobody's
(33:53):
framing anybody for something that didn't happen. This happened, and
we know who did it. Nobody's framing Democrats for but
it happened. I'm gonna leave the rest of these for
maybe either tomorrow or later in the week, or at
some point getting back to him. It's very frustrating. Here's
a guy who might be a Texan by the way,
(34:14):
an Ohio sheriff, an Ohio sheriff, And this is all
I saw this story before I had to come on
the air, so it hasn't been I haven't read the
whole thing, and I don't need to. I just like
this guy, Ohio sheriff asked for residents addresses with Harris
signs in their yards so he can send a few
(34:36):
illegal immigrants to each of them. Seems fair to me.
If you're all four open borders, if you're all four
supporting illegal immigrants, take a couple of them, take a
half a dozen. They don't need much room. You could
probably squeeze I don't know, six or eight of them
into a two bedroom home, maybe ten. They'll come at
(34:59):
the They'll have their own money, they'll have their own phone.
All they're looking for is a place to lay their heads.
And maybe if we could do that, if we could
get a lot of people who liked that idea to
support these people, we wouldn't have to shut down veterans' homes,
we wouldn't have to fill hotels with migrants who are
(35:20):
tearing them to pieces and ruining the cities therein very frustrating,
very very frustrating, and all because all because the current
administration did absolutely nothing, which they won't tell you. They'll
deflect and deflect and deflect. Nancy Pelosi enjoyed while she
(35:44):
was talking about not building walls and continues to do that,
and we don't need a wall, we just leave it open.
The state of California had a huge wall down south
of San Diego, built it all the way to the ocean,
all the way into the water, to seconds will Oh
my gosh, all right, we'll be back tomorrow. I've gotten
so much more to share, so much more, including the
(36:06):
longest golf hole in the world. We'll be back, Audios.
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?
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Well? This show is all about you, only the good die.
This is fifty plus with Doug Pike. Helpful information on
your finances, good health, and what to do for fun.
Fifty plus brought to you by the UT Health Houston
Institute on Aging, Informed Decisions for a healthier, happier life
(00:42):
and Bronze Roofing Repair or Replacement. Bronze Roofing has you covered?
And now fifty plus with Doug Pike. All right, here
we go on Tuesday. Thank you all for joining us,
for sharing your lunch hour. I don't think just trying
to recall everything I have in front of me here
my notes. I don't think there's anything really here that
(01:02):
would would be cringey or queasy while you enjoy a
nice warm or warm meal, maybe a cold sandwich, maybe
some soup. I think the cold sandwich really would go
better today. Although I'm I could probably stand to eat
more hot meals than cold ones, and I currently i'm
(01:27):
about fifty percent.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
I guess doesn't matter another sunny day on which to
just sift through the balogney sandwich being served up as
we get closer and closer to this election. Oh my gosh,
I just cannot believe how many Americans continue to just
lap up the lies being served by mainstream media. And
they're still doing exactly what I've talked about for more
than a month now. They're accusing Republicans of doing exactly
(01:51):
what they are doing, which makes it really hard for
a lot of people who've forgotten how or never been
taught how to think for themselves. It's really hard for
them to tell who's telling the truth. You have to
do your own digging, You have to do your own
fact checking, which of course gets harder when social media
(02:11):
platforms and search engines manipulate the information we're allowed to see.
And that's just it's another little nail and the coughing
of free speech. Interesting that we learned about so many
incidents of censorship weeks and months and sometimes years after
they occur. This these just blatant incidents of censorship, and oh,
(02:43):
we found out that this happened two years ago. Well,
it doesn't matter anymore, It doesn't matter anymore. And yet
we keep on allowing it to happen. That's the frightening
part we are learning. So the laptop Russian collusion, that
what was this i'm dossier that was supposed to have
been a big deal and all of it turns out
(03:04):
to be fake and nobody calls out the people who
who did the fakery. It's frightening. It really is. Just
so oh yeah, it's okay, it happened a long time ago.
It doesn't matter anymore. Yeah, it does matter. It matters
because there's a pattern here, and until something is done,
(03:25):
that pattern won't be broken until the people who are
doing all this are shown the door. Basically, they'll just
keep doing it, and a lot of people will keep
letting them. Oh well, all right. Anyway to the weather map,
which is quite boring at president actually, with one day
(03:46):
looking a lot like the next, and all the way
through the weekend, which leads almost flawlessly really into this
week's highs and lows in Haikou, which by the way,
actually takes a little time to create on a daily basis.
It's not something you can just sit down and go
five seven five, let's see what do we got here. Okay,
that's good, No, it takes more time than that. It's
(04:08):
a lot of effort goes into this Will. In case
you're not aware, it's really a struggle, a daily struggle
will to come up with something that I think will
earn me a higher score than I made yesterday or
the day before that. I lay awake nights will just
thinking about haiku.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
It's the artistic process, does it is? It's very it's
very taxing. Not everything you make is gold, you know,
And I gotta be the one to set you straight.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Yeah, okay, let's go with that. Are you ready? Yes?
Do you like today? If so, you'll love tomorrow and
the next three days?
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Okay, Well, as I said before we started the show,
I'm not sure I really like today.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
My powers out again? Oh Will, I'm so sorry. But
the personal matters in the bright side, Will you and
a lot of your neighbors are getting one of those
shiny new brown fiberglass poles yep, that kind of probably
shouldn't maybe really fall down. I don't know if it doesn't,
she whizz, I do too. Will you know? The main
(05:22):
thing that I actually have seen done and it looks
pretty weird in some places, is they finally chopped all
the tree limbs away from the power lines, which should
have been that ought to be done on a yearly basis.
I agree annually yeah, or but but not as has
been the case after a hurricane that knocks out power.
(05:42):
Oh that that tree limb on that line actually caused
that to go out. Well, we'll cut that line back.
We'll cut that limb off. Let's go get it out
of the way. No, that that needs to be done. Well,
one of these tree companies around town ought to get
a contract. If they can get any kind of contract
like that generator company got man Man eight hundred million
dollars for generators that never started up. We need to
(06:06):
start a tree company. We're gonna start a limb off
the wires company and just never cut the limbs off
the wires. It'd be the same as the generator thing, right, genius, Okay,
I'm giving your secrets away on somebody's gonna profit from
that idea. That happens a lot with me. I have
these brilliant ideas and somebody steals them and makes a
(06:29):
lot of money off of them. I'm sitting on two
of them right now, and I'm not even gonna tell
you what they are well, Doug, I will give you
a score. Are you ready? I'm waiting that.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Despite my own personal feelings, I'm putting those aside. Okay,
that was a seven point nine.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Whoa, that was all I had written down. Wow, four
point seven's what I had. I thought you were going
to really just rake me over the cold. Thank you
will for that generous, generous thing. All right, we should
probably start to head out on out and get ready
to talk to Matt. Yes, we're gonna be talking to
(07:07):
Matt Bushaw in just a few minutes. And yeah, we'll
get to that. I want to get out on time
so we can have as much time with him as possible.
Bronze roofing thirty plus years, thirty plus years of quality
work at a fair price. If you get your roof
inspected every couple of years and make sure there's nothing
little that can become big in the problem area, then
(07:29):
it's gonna last you, what, fifteen, sixteen, eighteen years some
of these roofs now, high wind, rain, falling, debris. We
get all of that over the course of any year
around here. And you don't want to just wait until
nobody's looking and crawl up there and look around for yourself. First,
it's dangerous. Second, you don't know what you're looking at,
(07:49):
and you don't know what you're looking for. Called Bronze roofing,
they will come out and give you a free inspection.
Usually within twenty four hours, you'll have a pro on
that roof taking care of business, residential, commercial, tile, asphalt, shingle.
If there's a problem, they'll show you pictures, tell you
how much it's gonna cost. You, tell them to get started,
and everybody will be happy in a very short time.

Now they sure don't make them like they used to.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
That's why every few months we wash them, check his
fluids and spring on a fresh cod o wax.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
This is fifty plus with Doug Pike. All right, welcome
back fifty plus. Thank you all for listening, certainly to
appreciate it. We are trying to tie in with my
next guest, who was just wrapping up another interview somewhere
(08:49):
else in the country, and hopefully are we there will
Let's see, let's find out we are. Well. Here's the
bottom line in this But we're going to talk about
a choice that's available to a good percentage of home buyers,
is a sustainable, safe energy source. And we're gonna hear
about it from an expert who's actually in a beautiful
custom home all the way over where my niece lives
(09:13):
in Charleston, South Carolina. He's Matt Bleshaw, a former host
of the on the DIY Network and HGTV's Yard Crashers
and Build It Forward. Matt, are you there?
Speaker 4 (09:26):
I am here because it is just beautiful out here?
Speaker 3 (09:31):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Thanks, thanks for that. It's just it's hot here still,
and I guess I've lived here long enough that I
can make believe it's pretty. It's sometimes it is, sometimes
it's not. So how how Matt, do you define safety, sustainability,
and resilience in a home.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
Yeah, let's start with how you power it? Right?
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Well, yeah, I'm headed that way.
Speaker 4 (09:54):
Oh yeah, where are you at?
Speaker 2 (09:56):
What part of the country in Houston?
Speaker 4 (10:00):
Houston? Okay? So yeah, you guys know about the propane
out there, So yeah, your way along the propane train.
You know, it provides clean energy, it works efficiently. So
why I'm out here near the Kiowa River is that
we built. There's a custom home that we installed a
propane tank, a thousand gallon propane tank, and we are
(10:23):
powering almost every major appliance in this massive home, almost
six thousand square feet, so everything from tankle to water heaters.
You got inside places, your range. You also got the
outdoor pool that we're heating. Backup generator, which is huge.
You guys need a backup generator out there. Yeah, and
(10:46):
I tell you that, yeah, And you got to be
prepared you honestly, you know, we're seeing it more and
more and more. I mean just yesterday we had a
tropical storm hit in North Carolina that you know, sixteen
inches of rain in an hour, and we just don't
know when it's coming, So the time is now. Propane
is a great way to power your generator for two
(11:09):
separate reasons. One, you have energy independence, right, you have
that that that propane tank right there ready to be used.
Not only that, is that the propane it combusts cleaner
than gas, So gas has a shelf life from six
months to eight months. You got to maintain it a lot,
and then when it combusts, it can kind of gull
off the engine a little bit. Propane. It's clean, it
(11:32):
burns clean, and it's going to make your appliances that
use propane lasts longer than they would with you know,
electric and gas.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
I like the idea of that thousand gallon tank that's
bigger in some of the backyard above ground pools I've
seen around here. I think.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
I'll tell you we buried it in the ground too,
because they're like, oh, I want an ugly tank in
the backyard, Well you put it right on the ground.
And another, you know, one of the one of the
biggest arguments that I hear is well, I don't want
to look at that chain. Don't don't have to take
that tank into town on a trailer to go fill
it up. Now, you you have a propane professional that
comes about and talks with you and knows your family's
(12:10):
needs and then recognize those needs, and before you need it,
it's he's going to come out and make sure that
it's filled, you know, before the you know, especially before
the winter, or you know, you got times that you
need it the most. You are never going to have
to worry about it. And we talked about energy independence.
You know, there's a lot of people looking for homes
you know, there's not enough homes in America, and then
(12:31):
where should I do? Could I buy land? And if
you buy land inside the city limits, it's skyrocket high.
Now you have thenity, it's nuts. And now you have
the opportunity with propane to build outside of the city limits.
And the house that we're in right now would not
be possible if it wasn't for propane being on our
energy side.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
I've got a friend Matt over here, a custom builder who,
by the way, the Southern Living builder of the year.
That's all they are, Kirk Holmes, and I called a
I emailed Chris McGinley and asked him what he thought
about pro paying before I took this interview. He said,
one hundred percent. I'm all in. I love it, I
absolutely love it. So I sent him another email this morning, said,
(13:11):
if you know offhand what percentage of the homes you're
building now and these are all his average his starting
build is around seven hundred thousand, and he said, ninety
percent or more of the homes they're building now are
using pro power.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
That's amazing. And you know a lot of the homeowner,
the home builders that I know, you know you are
our sixty seventy percent. My father in law who is
he's a custom home builder in Missouri. It's it's not
a discussion. People say, well, wow, pro paine is with life,
you know, that's what we use. That is our source.
And because you know, there's there's so many good benefits
(13:49):
to it, you know, like I talked about, you know,
helps with you know, not only it's a clean burner,
but you know also it will just help your your
your all your appliances'll lasts longer. And so we always
talk about the health inside your whatever you're burning on
the inside, right, that's going to you know, emit into
the air, so that propaine, being as clean as it is,
(14:11):
it burns hotter. You know this, so you can cook
things quicker and heats things quicker, but also it burns
cleaner so that your inside air remains you know, safe
for the family as well well.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
And generally, and correct me if I'm wrong, Matt, but
generally you're going to save a lot of money using
propane over like Christie right, you know in the.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
Long run, absolutely absolutely, because your bills, they make them great.
There's a great technology. Your friend probably knows about it.
They're putting AI you know things that are way smarter
than me. Inside these appliances. There is a propane tankless
water heater that will now start learning about your showering
habits and know when you take the hot water, will
(14:53):
give you more energy at the time that you need it,
and then will all of a sudden reduce its energy
when you out, So that means lower bills over time.
And then couple with the fact that it runs on
propane so much cleaner, that appliance is going to last
for a lot longer as well. So across the board,
that's going to save you.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Cost what it would It be a good example to
say that, let's say, for in the shower example, instead
of a water heater, I've got gas water heaters and
they just they all the water's always always hot. But
if I'm never taking showers with this AI, if I'm
never taking showers from say eight o'clock to seven in
the evening, it may let the temperature come down a
(15:34):
little and then kick it back on later, right for
when I do shower exactly.
Speaker 4 (15:38):
Yeah, man, yeah, a lot of Yeah, we use a lot.
There's some you can put a timed pump, right, recirculator
research pump is what we call it, and so we
put that on there where you can just do a
set time where you say, okay, all right, so you
know this is when the time that I need my
hot water and then it's you know, it will start
to recirculate that water a little bit. Now with this
(16:00):
eye technology, you know, it's it's now understanding you, it's
seeing what you use, and then it is without you
thinking about it helping you save money. And this is
just going to get better and better over time as
we start to put this AI technology within these appliances.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
So where Matt Blushaw should we be looking for more
information and what should be what what should we be researching?
We got about a minute. That's it, no.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
No problem yet. Absolutely you guys need to go to
propain dot com forward slash for my home and this
is going to show you some incredible ways to use
pro pain and then it's going to take kind of
the you know, simplicity of just it's for barbecues, and
it's going to show you of not only of how
(16:47):
good it can be for your family. Good it can
be for this, you know, for for for our footprint,
our carbon footprint on on on this world. But it's also,
like you said, it's going to save you on your
energy costs because you're going to be able to conserve
that energy. So all the information you need is right there,
and I hope you guys look at it.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
De we will propane dot com slash for my home.
I looked at that website a little bit today. I'm
all fired up for my dream home whenever that happens.
Matt Blashaw, thank you so very much for your time, sir.
Speaker 4 (17:18):
I appreciate it. Thanks for having you.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Bet enjoy South Carolina.
Speaker 4 (17:21):
Man.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
I wish I was there right beside you.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
Will. I'm going outside right now.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
All right, audios, All right, that was Matt Blashaw. We're
talking about propane. I really got kind of excited when
I went and did my research at that site. And
it's certainly worth looking at if you're considering building a home,
or if you're retrofitting a home that maybe just needs
a little upgrade and you got some got some thoughts
(17:48):
on your mind on how to power that home. Take
a look at propane. It was kind of cool, really,
and when I realized that you can you can kind
of tack in to the line a generator to generate
the electricity you need for lights and all in the
air conditioner certainly that we have to have here. All
of a sudden, you've got a very efficient system, a
(18:08):
very efficient system that will run the whole house. And
that's when I got the word from Chris over at
kirk HOLMBS. That was as much an endorsement as I needed,
because I know that guy wouldn't steer me wrong. It
won't steer you wrong either. All Right, we got to
take a little break here. On the way out, I'll
tell you about ut House Institute on Aging, an amazing
(18:30):
collaborative of providers from pretty much every medical discipline there is.
They're mostly around the med Center, but they also work
some days, not all days, a lot of them out
in the outlying clinics and hospitals and other medical facilities
around town. So you don't have to drive into town
if you don't want to. You don't have to drive
into the middle of Houston. You can probably find plenty
(18:53):
of members of that Institute on Aging out where you are.
And one of the reasons you'll want to go looking
for them is because every one of these people has
taken on additional education to apply their knowledge about whatever
it is in medicine, they know to apply it to seniors,
and that's so important for us. Our clock ticks differently
(19:17):
than that of young people, and there's nothing wrong with us,
nothing wrong with them. We're just a little different because
our parts are kind of wearing out. And it's good
to have somebody on your team who knows about that
and can see that coming before it even happens in
a lot of cases, and help you avoid becoming sick,
avoid getting yourself in trouble. Ut h dot ed u
(19:42):
slash aging. That's a website. Go there, take a look around,
make yourself an appointment, Go go get a consultation with
some of these people and just thumb through. It will
take you a while. All the resources available as well
at that site. Ut h dot edu slash aging, ut

Speaker 1 (20:02):
Aged to Perfection. This is fifty plus with Doug Pike.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Blie. Welcome back to fifty plus. Thank you all for listening.
I certainly do appreciate it. I'm looking at a story.
I'll have to look at that more before I can
share it with you. We didn't get a chance because
we had to abbreviate the first segment to make sure
that we got back in time. Matt's a busy guy
over there, and said, it can't be hard sitting there.
(20:38):
You could tell almost that he's sitting in a house
that's being built, a custom house. Sounded kind of echoe in,
like any empty house sounds until you get stuff in there.
But I like where he is.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
I do.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
It's a beautiful part of the country. I've been to
both the Carolinas on both of their coastlines for fishing
trips back when I was editing Tide magazine for CCA,
and absolutely loved it over there. It's beautiful, all right.
So off to market we go, thanks to Houston gooldexchange
dot com. Lots of green on the board again today,
but no no major movement. Really, Oil sadly up a
(21:16):
little more to a dollar and now once again north
of seventy one bucks. Gold lost more than ten announced,
but was still close to twenty six hundred just an
hour ago. Maybe an hour, yeah, about an hour ago.
Last time I looked from several hours ago. A sad
story and one that it's really frustrating, honestly on a
(21:38):
lot of levels for me. This happened early this morning
a Houston Chronicle story reported that a police officer was
shot in northwest Houston. Two suspects detained in a third
on the loose at this point. Hopefully they'll round him
up too. We're lucky, honestly, that there are still men
(21:59):
and women will just suit up and pin on a
badge every day for us. They know every time, and
more concerning to me, their families know every time. Every
time they walk out the door and go to that job,
anything can happen. They have good training, thank god, but
(22:22):
they still can't. They still can't train for every scenario,
and there still are opportunities for the bad guys to
do crazy things to them. The disrespect shown by some
of these people towards law enforcement truly does bother me.
Truly does bother me. Well, let's light it up for
(22:44):
a couple of minutes, okay, because boy, I got all kinds.
I got a page and a half more of interesting stuff, including,
by the way, a story that pop today I think
it was this morning that includes fifteen bits of left
leaning things that have been said that certainly sound like
(23:09):
they might encourage people to do bad things to good people.
I'll just leave it at that for now. We'll get
to it maybe later. Hard to believe. Will I want
one of these or fifty fathoms club? Hard to believe
the average person. I don't think this is enough on
two counts. The average person that says here spends thirty
(23:31):
seven minutes shopping in Costco. Do you go to Costco? No?
Nor do I? So I don't know. I have friends
who go, and I suspect they spend more than thirty
seven minutes in there, and they spend on average one
dollar and seventy five cents per minute that they're in
the store. So that's only a total of sixty four
dollars and seventy five cents. That's it. That's one tub
(23:56):
of mayonnaise in there. That five gallon bucket of mayonnaise
costs that much? Will I think? Would you buy five
gallons of mayonnaise? Now? Would you buy one gallon?
Speaker 3 (24:08):
No?
Speaker 2 (24:10):
Quart? No?
Speaker 4 (24:11):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
I don't really use mayonnaise that often. You don't have
to use it very often. It's and all of that stuff.
I go down that condiment aisle on a regular basis,
and between the mayonnaise and miracle whip and mustard and ketchup,
and then on the other side of the aisle is
(24:32):
the jellies and jams and peanut butter. They might as
well be selling golden nuggets in there for what they're asking.
It's incredible. I'm gonna give you one more chance to
get through one of these that I really want to
talk about. Fifty fathoms club hot pants or small world. Huh,
small world this is I found this kind of interesting will.
(24:55):
When JFK was single in nineteen forty one, he dated
a journalist named Inga Arvad, who was one of Hitler's
personal guests at the nineteen thirty six Olympics. Oh, it's
just a fun fact to know and tell. There's really
(25:17):
no backstory or anything that I have in front of
me here. It's just that exactly what I have is
what I had. What I read is all I have
on that. But you can fill in the blanks. JFK
pretty good looking young man hanging out over wherever. I
don't know. It says he dated her. I don't know
whether it was. He probably here in the United States,
(25:40):
and I'm sure she was an attractive young woman, and
I'm sure the sparks flew. Who knows doesn't matter one more.
Chance will fifty fathoms club. I want one of these
or hot pants, all of which have been introduced before.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
All right, I'll do if the Fathoms Club.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
That is, it's pretty good. The US Navy, for the
first time ever commissioned a co ed submarine. Just you
can just fill in the blanks as to why I
named that what I did? All right, to see what
I mean? Do you get it?
Speaker 3 (26:22):
Yes, I'll understand what you're talking, you filthy old man.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
Hardly hardly will uh political rhetoric? How much time do
I have twenty second? Never mind about the rhetoric. I
want one of these. I'll tell you I can do
that in fifteen seconds. Chappottle's new Autocato robot can cut,
core and peel avocados in twenty six seconds. I want
(26:51):
one of those, I do. I would eat so much
more guacamole if somebody do it for me like that.
Just turn on the autocado robot and let him chop
up about a dozen of them, and then I'll do
the whipping up after that and then eat it all.
I love walk them only and avocados. Don't let age
sneak up on you go to a late health keep
(27:12):
yourself healthy. Okay, by a quarter of men listen to this,
A quarter of men have enlarged prostates and symptoms of that.
But by the time they're fifty five, and the numbers
just keep going up with age. I'm sixty eight. Figure
out where I am now, go to a late health,
get an exam, get the treatment you need. Gonna be
(27:32):
covered by Medicare too. It's called prostate artery embolization. That's
what they do. They're a vascular they are vascular clinics.
A late health is there's more than one, and so
what they do is they identify that artery and then
they plug it up. They shut off the spiggot and
no more blood gets to that prostate. It shrinks, and
(27:54):
along with it go the symptoms. Same for fibroids, same
in some cases for head pain, same for ugly veins.
They can do an awful lot of things with some little,
tiny little tubes that they can thread intricately through those
arteries and then inject a little stuff. I don't know
whether they use silly putty or Elmer's glue or what plato,
(28:18):
I'm not sure. Whatever it is sand whatever it is,
it plugs up that artery and stops the problem right
and its tracks. Most of what they do covered by
Medicare and Medicaid, and if you by the way, they're
also doing regenerative medicine now too, which is tremendously helpful
with chronic pain. A latehealth dot com Ala t e
(28:39):
a latehealth dot com. Seven one three, five eight eight
thirty eight eighty eight. Write this number down or try
to remember it, or ask a younger person to remember
it for you. Seven one, three, five eight eight thirty
eight eighty eight old guy's rule. And of course, women
never get old if you want to avoid sleeping on
(29:00):
the couch. I think that sounds like a good breath.
Fifty plus continues. Here's more with Doug.
Speaker 4 (29:13):
Hout it up, put up.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
Here we go one three threepole fish six seventy eight nineteen.
You've never done that. I don't know why. Well, because
there's no reason. Welcome back. Final segment of fifty plus
starts right now. Thank you also very much for joining us.
There's been so much I want to read a few things.
This was from a bright Bart story this morning that
(29:35):
pointed out fifteen incidents where the left said some pretty
nasty things that if someone who is a little bit
off center hears them or heard them. These have all
been said already, someone who might be a little off
(29:58):
plumb might take that to heart and want to act
on it. And it's just really scary that all of
these things were so easy for the bright Bart people
to find. Representative Hai King Jeffrey, He's a Democrat from
New York said of President Strump President Trump, we must
(30:22):
stop him. This one really got my attention. Rachel Vindaman,
she is the sister in law of a politician. Where
do I have his I have his credentials on this
other page. I can tell you exactly where he's from.
He is from? Well, no, I can't because I can't
(30:46):
find it. Oh yeah, right here, he is from Virginia.
I believe he is from Virginia. And yes, I finally
got to it. Made sure his sister in law, Rachel
Vindman said in a Twitter post that was pretty quickly
taken back down. This is right after the assassination attempt
(31:10):
over the weekend on President Trump. She said, quote no
ears were harmed. Carry on with your Sunday afternoon end
quote leftist podcast. Or she is from Representative Mickey Cheryl
a Democrat from New Jersey, and I quote, this really
(31:30):
seems to be the confluence of two very bad things
going on in the Republican Party, the attempts to divide
to enrage the population. End quote. No, mickey, it's not
the Republican Party doing that, it's your party. You're doing
exactly what. I continue to talk about, how they accuse
(31:52):
the other side of doing exactly what they are doing
to just confuse everybody.
Speaker 4 (31:58):
Hmm.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
State Rep. Stephen Woodrow, a Democrat from Colorado, said the
last thing America needed was sympathy for the devil. But
here we are. That's not very kind. Somebody gets shot
at and hit in the ear once, only by the
grace of God did he move his head far enough
(32:21):
to avoid taking that shot. And then somebody else hiding
in the bushes with a rifle. I have a theory
on what's gonna happen to that guy, and not long,
not long from now, and we'll just see if it
comes to pass. And if it does, I'll tell you
exactly what I was thinking.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
Ah.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
Here's another one. This comes from Lester Holt, NBC News.
Lester Holt the one and only quote today's apparent assassination
attempt comes amid increasingly fierce rhetic rhetoric on the campaign trail.
Mister Trump, his running mate ad Vance continue to make
baseless claims. End quote. Really, which of those claims that
(33:06):
they've made are baseless, mister Holt. I'd love to hear
from you on that. MSNBC's Alex Wit and I quote,
do you expect there to be calls from within the
Trump campaign to and then paraphrasing, tone it down? End quote. Well,
they're not doing what the other side's doing. And this
(33:28):
is a really scary one from the Washington Post. Columnist
name Phil Bump writes, and I quote, another chance for
Trump to frame Democrats as dangerous has emerged. I think
he just meant to say, as danger has emerged. No,
we're not framing anybody. It happened. It happened, Phil. Nobody's
(33:53):
framing anybody for something that didn't happen. This happened, and
we know who did it. Nobody's framing Democrats for but
it happened. I'm gonna leave the rest of these for
maybe either tomorrow or later in the week, or at
some point getting back to him. It's very frustrating. Here's
a guy who might be a Texan by the way,
(34:14):
an Ohio sheriff, an Ohio sheriff, And this is all
I saw this story before I had to come on
the air, so it hasn't been I haven't read the
whole thing, and I don't need to. I just like
this guy, Ohio sheriff asked for residents addresses with Harris
signs in their yards so he can send a few
(34:36):
illegal immigrants to each of them. Seems fair to me.
If you're all four open borders, if you're all four
supporting illegal immigrants, take a couple of them, take a
half a dozen. They don't need much room. You could
probably squeeze I don't know, six or eight of them
into a two bedroom home, maybe ten. They'll come at
(34:59):
the They'll have their own money, they'll have their own phone.
All they're looking for is a place to lay their heads.
And maybe if we could do that, if we could
get a lot of people who liked that idea to
support these people, we wouldn't have to shut down veterans' homes,
we wouldn't have to fill hotels with migrants who are
(35:20):
tearing them to pieces and ruining the cities therein very frustrating,
very very frustrating, and all because all because the current
administration did absolutely nothing, which they won't tell you. They'll
deflect and deflect and deflect. Nancy Pelosi enjoyed while she
(35:44):
was talking about not building walls and continues to do that,
and we don't need a wall, we just leave it open.
The state of California had a huge wall down south
of San Diego, built it all the way to the ocean,
all the way into the water, to seconds will Oh
my gosh, all right, we'll be back tomorrow. I've gotten
so much more to share, so much more, including the
(36:06):
longest golf hole in the world. We'll be back, Audios.
