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. This is fifty
plus with Doug Pike. Helpful information on your finances, good health,
and what to do for fun. Fifty plus brought to
you by the UT Health Houston Institute on ag informed
Decisions for a healthier, happier life.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
And now fifty plus with Doug Pike. All right, there
we go. Welcome to the Tuesday version edition of the program.
A Version Edition Version aversion opened about as hazy and
foggy as a addicted outcomes of today's elections. A slight
(01:03):
chance of ran today, then a much better chance into
and during the weekend, and then hopefully not so much
this coming Monday, because I've got golf planned with some
clients the mind. Actually they're not my clients, but they said, yeah,
we'd like to play with Doug. So I'm going to
(01:23):
go out there and do my best not to embarrass myself.
I actually played okay yesterday, but that's not what's important. Today.
We're already sitting into this pat was settling kind of
into this pattern of eighties during the day, seventy ish
overnight maybe high sixties. So be sure to get your
air conditioners tuned up. If you don't have somebody you
(01:43):
like to use already and you need some support, just
listen to this radio station for a little while and
you'll hear somebody tell you that they're going to take
care of you. And if we've got them on, they're
going to take care of you. I promise you that
market took a big hit, as you just heard a
minute ago, given current global circumstances, all four indicators down
(02:04):
by an average of nearly two percent a little while ago,
and probably actually it seems like the last I look,
things were turning around, and it seemed like all the
algorithmic selling was done and suddenly some buyers were coming
around bargain hunting and finding really good bargains apparently on
enough stocks to boost some of those averages a little bit.
(02:29):
It was. It was pretty rough early, it really was. Gold,
by the way, also dropped off yesterday's peak, which gold
went to more than three hundred dollars an ounce for
a hot minute. I'm not sure how long I think
it may have even happened overnight or something, but earlier
today it was at fifty one forty eight, and I
want to say it's somewhere close to there. Right now.
(02:50):
Oil jumped another five bucks or so and may have
jumped a little bit more, going from the load to
mid sixties up to seventy six dollars a barrel earth today.
I'll check that maybe during the first break and see
if it's moved much from there. I don't think it
will have. All of this said, long term predictions on
Wall Street still foresee a twenty twenty six rally and
(03:15):
another ten percent gain overall for the stock market. Now
much depends on how quickly with this this war with
iron ends, But I do tend to agree with that
call for a rally from wherever we are when it ends.
Projected growth in manufacturing here is going to strengthen jobs numbers.
It's going to keep the economy rolling forward, and we
(03:37):
are in a good spot. And so there you have it.
Today's primary election, by the way, across our great state,
the day when candidates in the same party can finally
stop calling each other names and berating people who wear
the same uniform. People from their same party, bashing them
for all their misdeeds and all their past transgressions. It's
(04:00):
a dirty game politics is in this country, it really is.
Tomorrow they'll either shut up or start picking on the
other party's candidates, or maybe just pack up and go home,
go back to doing whatever they were doing before, all
the way up to November when the winners from today
duke it out. In election American politics these days, really,
(04:21):
they've just been reduced in so many races, in so
many cases, to an objective of smear. You've got to
smear the opposition. You've got to brag about your past,
unless it's checkered, as it often the case, and then
you've got to share as little as possible about what
you actually plan to do to get elected, because if
you plan and tell about your plan, then the people
(04:43):
who vote for you are going to keep track of
that and make sure you execute that plan, or you'll
be a one and done, like I don't know so
many sports teams have been in the year's past. I'd
be comfortable with, honestly, with setting a cap on election
space in each race. Candidates would be allowed to spend
(05:04):
x dollars overall, and that would be based on the
level of importance of the office too. If you're running
for a school board position, you can't you can't spend
as much as somebody who's running for governor. The importance
of the race, the importance of the position would dictate
how much could be spent, and then once you get
(05:25):
to that number, you got to stop. Not a penny
more for any one of them, which would really just
would It wouldn't eliminate the bombardment of paid political ads,
but at least I think it would substantially reduce the
number of times we have to hear and I approve
that message. How many times have you heard that in
(05:46):
the last four or five weeks? Put emphasis back on
really thoughtful commercials, really thoughtful Please to put somebody in
office based on your So the one thing you don't
hear a whole lot about is details of some of
these politicians records. They tell you they voted conservative, or
(06:09):
they voted liberal, or they voted whatever. Most of the time,
almost all the time, they say, but they don't really
get into the issues because then, like I said, they
would have to back that up once they get in office,
and that wouldn't really work. That well for them. In
a lot of cases, there's a lot of positions out
(06:29):
there where I scratch my head and just wonder how
those people get in office. But once they're in, once
they're kind of on the team, so to speak, there's
bound to be some money out there that'll help them out,
help keep them there. There's got to be as many
favors being done now as there were over the courses
of history or the course of history in this country,
(06:52):
and a lot of them. You don't donate ten twelve
million dollars to a campaign and not expect to get
something out of it. I can't imagine that, Hey, I
want to give you five million dollars for your campaign.
I'm gonna give you five million dollars. And oh, by
the way, you know that that bridge you need building,
Maybe maybe gotta help build the bridge. And I know
that sounds kind of pessimistic and shady and undistrustful, and
(07:19):
it kind of is. It kind of is. So we
have this system, and we have an opportunity to to
help fix it. First of all, we've got to get
a mandatory photo I D for voting. There's no way
around that, to prove these people are citizens. Of people
who are walking up there and being handed ballots to
determine who's going to be our next president. That's got
(07:41):
to come down, that's got to happen, or we're going
to be in one heck of a position. You can
look around the world and see what's happening. Now, See
what's happening right in our own world, New York City, Chicago.
Go see who's who's coming outside in giant numbers. To
make sure that they know that we know that they're here,
(08:02):
and they're not going anywhere, and they're not going to
become Americans either. It's very frustrating, re frustrating for a
guy like me who's love this country his entire life
and I intend to help hold on to it the
best I can. Z Cliner sleep chairs at Gallery Furniture
are adjustable to fit every body type, every comfort goal.
(08:25):
It is three, four, five, ten things in one. Really
it's a heated massage share that's kind of nice if
you've been working out in the garden and your back hurts.
It's a recliner if you want to just sit back
and watch a movie or a sporting event on TV,
watch golf like I do, and fall asleep doing it.
You can do whatever you want. It's a bed too,
(08:47):
Just fold it out flat, bring your pillow and your
blanket and just curl up in there. If it's a
little bit chilly, turn on that heat. Oh that's all
you gotta do. Very soothing experience in every z Cliner
sleep share also has that power lift option if you
or somebody in the family needs it to get you
out of that chair for a little while. You'll want
to stay in it, but it's healthy to get up
(09:08):
and walk around every now and then too. High tech relaxation,
that's what it is. You can get it today or
any day or online at any gallery Furniture location. Zkliner
sleep Chairs from Gallery Furniture go check them.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Out, aged to perfection. This is fifty plus with Doug
Pike plus and thank.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
You all for listening. I certainly do appreciate it. On
this mostly cloudy Tuesday, a few small holes in the clouds,
but not many. We're talking this segment again, by the way,
because it's warranted. We did some last week on it,
and we're going to do it again about ut Hell's
upcoming tenth annual public event known as Hot Topics in
Aging and to help, I'll bring in doctor Rachel Gentia,
(09:51):
Associate Professor in the jan and Stanford Alexander Division of
Geriatric Repelative Medicine at McGovern Medical School. Welcome, doctor Gentia.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
Hi gets so nice to see you again.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Oh, I appreciate that. I really do. I had very
few people say that ever to me.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
Done. Yeah, I haven't bring me yet.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
I had a few minutes this past week to talk
about the Hot Topics in Aging. But it's important enough
that I think for this audience at least, that I'm
glad to get this second chance. So talk briefly about
the origin of this and kind of what it.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Is about the Hot Topics and Aging on Topics.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Yes, then we'll go to the other minute.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Well, this is our this is our tenth annual Hot
Topics in Aging at the UT Health Houton Institute on Aging.
It's really special because it's an interprofessional continuing education event,
which means that it's not just for one type of
health professional or even one type of community member. It
is bringing together disciplines and professions from all across the
(10:53):
board that care about older adults in different parts of
their care and allows them to learn to get there
about how they can problem solve things that are affecting
older adults. And so this year the focus is on
Alzheimer's disease and Alzheimer's dimension related diseases. In timing with
the new deprint funding in Texas.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
What's the day and time of these just hot topics
in aging this year?
Speaker 3 (11:20):
A fantastic, fantastic question. So we're Friday, March thirteenth at
the UT Health Cooley University lifcener and it's an all
day conference from nine to four to fifteen pm. It's
completely free, We'll have some food for you, and again
it's open to a professional and a community. And if
you're a professional seeking continuing education that is provided as well.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Fantastic And in the event that if the event had
a mission statement, what would the highlights of that statement be?
Speaker 3 (11:51):
The highlight would be that we are bringing together health
professionals from across the healthcare landscape problem solve and inno
date to improve quality of life and address what matters
most to older adults.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
It's kind of a way, yeah, like two hundred heads
are better than one, right, Well, something like that.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
Yeah, we all need we all need to stay fresh
and stay up to date on things. We always try
to address a hot topic, so it's always very interesting
and timely vote for providers and for and for late people, right,
so you just want to know what's going on in
the world.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Doctor Rachel Gentio here on fifty plus, who's a keynote
on this.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
One, So that's st her students of Sadry. We are
very blessed to have her on the program because she's
a she's a leading researcher in Texas and really in
the world in Alzheimer's disease. She said, you see held
San Antonio, and she was actually a big driver in
developing the DEEPRINT model and helping getting it through. We're
(13:00):
very honored to have her keynote for us.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Let's just roll right from there into DEEPRINT, which is
the Dementia Prevention and Research Institute on Texas. When is
that then going to open doors?
Speaker 3 (13:12):
That's a good question. It should be sometime next year,
maybe later this year, in twenty twenty six. That will
all depend on how quickly we can get things implemented
and set up. There's a little bit of infrastructure that
has to go into establishing a center like that, but
we're all hands on deck trying to get ready. In fact,
that's part of the hot topics. What we're trying to
(13:34):
do this year is bring together researchers who are working
on different aspects of dementia, all the way from bench
research to providing direct care to patients, and we're trying
to bring them together to come up with innovative ideas
that they can submit for this funding the moment that
they open the call for proposals.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Let's talk about why this is so important. It's just
so critically important to dementia Alzheimer's disease. Now, that's kind
of better than waiting until a lot of money spent
on stuff that's not working or partial help for people
who have it. You guys are kind of rolling the
dice and really trying to get out in front of
(14:13):
this and maybe come up with at least better treatments
and potentially cures.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
Maybe, right, that's the idea. We're trying to rally all
of the resources in Texas. We're trying to attract talent
from other places to come to Texas so that we
can be a leader in this way. We want to
serve Texans that are suffering from Alzheimer's disease and Alzheimer's
dimension related diseases. You know, we want to put those
(14:40):
resources into our population that needs it.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
And unless we do something like Deepert, the numbers aren't
going to go down, are they.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
Well, no, they're not. In fact, we you know, trends
show that it's increasing diagnosing and that in particular there
is expected to be the case as our population ages.
And we, as you said, we want to be preventive.
We want to support older adults have to be healthy
as they age, and to try to prevent it because
(15:11):
to date, there is no cure for Alzhimer's disease. And
the more we can prevent, the more we can improve
quality of life for Texans that might otherwise be affected.
And by the way, that's both patients and their caregivers. Right, Yeah,
they're getting impact.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
I was going to say, yeah, the caregivers are kind
of left out of most of these conversations, but they
really are earning anything and everything we can do for
them too, right.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
Well, absolutely, I hope that a large portion of this
will be carved out to address the caregiving piece of it,
because a huge amount of expenses goes into lost wages
and things that are related to caregiving, and it's an
enormous task. And if you have a conversation with anybody,
as you know, I'm always amazed to hear how many
(15:59):
mischa and a loved one or a friend or somebody
close to them, and you get a sense if you
start to ask of the impact around you.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
I remember from last week talking about how this is
about a four billion dollar investment here, but how much
once it's up and running and successful, how it's going
to help offset the about what twenty plus billion that
likely would have been the cost of future cases. That's
just really good and I'm so glad. I'll give you
the last thirty seconds. What do you got for me?
Speaker 3 (16:33):
Well, I would just encourage anyone who's interested in learning
more about this, please do come to the conference, Please
come of read about what we're doing, come and visit us.
This is actually a chance to interface directly with people
who are working on this challenge as we listen to
the questions and comments from everyone in the audience, including
lay people and caregivers and patients themselves, because it actually
(16:56):
helps give us creative ideas about how to address the
highest needs moving forward. So I would just encourage anybody
to thinking about it to come.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
I couldn't agree with you more. It's just such an
opportunity because it's You're right, if you're taking questions from
that audience, this is the closest most people in that
audience will ever get to that much, that much knowledge
about great about dementia and Alzheimer's disease. I'm so glad
you're doing this. Yeah, yeah, thank you so much. We
(17:25):
Unfortunately we're out of time. I'd love to do it
again though, anytime.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
I appreciate you. Dore, have a good day.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Thank you, Bobby. All Right, we got to take a
little break here on the way out speaking of ut
health and UTH and all of that. The Institute on Aging,
I guarantee you this is the type of opportunity that
the caregivers who are involved in the Institute on Aging
take advantage of so that they can learn more, just
like I talk about, learn more on how to apply
(17:53):
their knowledge specifically to seniors. So they'll be cardiologists in there,
they'll be pull monologists, to be a lot of people
who know a lot about dementia's and Alzheimer's in there,
all learning and listening and learning how to apply their
knowledge to the patients they'll see as seniors. It's a
big advantage. I encourage anybody and everybody who can get
(18:15):
loose that day to go down there. Let's hold your nose,
go park in the mediciner somewhere and get in there
and attend that seminar and stay all day if you can.
There's not going to be a lull, There's not going
to be a bad time to be in the room.
Every bit of the information in there is going to
be critically important potentially to your health or certainly too,
maybe a loved one of our friend's health. Moving on.
(18:36):
Institute on Aging has been around for about the better
part of a dozen years or so now maybe ten eleven,
twelve somewhere in there, and been a part of this
program almost for the entire time that it's been on
the air. I applaud what they do. I tell you
about what they do all the time, and I can't
emphasize how much and how that this is a truly
(18:57):
important asset that we have, and very few other people
in the country have most of these providers in the
medical center, but them A lot of them come out
to outline clinics and hospitals and whatnot every week for
at least a couple of days, so that if you
don't want to go down there, you don't have to
go to the website ut dot edu slash aging, look
(19:18):
at all the resources, and then plan out a route
that you can take to find the right provider to
help you with something that you're not really feeling comfortable
with the help you're getting now on ut dot edu
slash aging uth dot edu slash aging.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Now, they sure don't make them like they used to.
That's why every few months we wash them, check his fluids,
and spring on a fresh code O wax. This is
fifty plus with Doug Pike. Welcome back to fifty plus.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Almost let a little bit more of that run, because
I have one little story I wanted to get to
at some point in the show, and maybe I will,
maybe I won't. If I don't, I'll probably get to
it tomorrow if it still seems that hortant tomorrow, when
I'll be broadcasting live from Stafford Center out in Stafford
at this fifty plus expo. His name, We both ended
(20:11):
up using that same name, I first, Frankly, but John Sasman,
the guy who's producing this expo for seniors out there
and I had kind of become friends and are working
together to make sure that anytime and every time we
have a chance to do something positive for seniors, we
(20:31):
do it. And he does these expos twice a year.
Like I said, I'll be out there broadcasting live from
a corner. I think I know where he's got me
set up this year, but I'm gonna have to go
look at it early. I mean, I'm going to try
to message, just interact with anybody and everybody I can
in there. I want to meet as many people as possible.
So if you see me wandering around in there by
(20:52):
all means, stop me and say hi and let me
know you listen to the program. I'd really appreciate it.
I wish I had some cool KPRC gear or something
to give away, but I'm not sure we have anything
right now. We're working on refilling the closet. I mean,
once it's done, I'll try to be better with that.
Oh my goodness, let me go put that away. Put
that away, that goes away. Diving into the news, and boy,
(21:18):
are there plenty of options here. Let's start with Iran.
We're four days into this war with Iran, and Iran
seems intent on slinging missiles pretty much in all directions
and involving as many countries as it possibly can, which
isn't working out for them because a couple of the
small countries over there in the Middle East that they
hit with missiles in the last couple of days are
shooting back and I know we're not playing that eron,
(21:40):
don't shoot at us, we will shoot back, And so
they're getting hit from all sides. In a nutshell, I
saw a I think it was an MSNBC or maybe CNN.
I'm not sure which, but anyway, that kind of bullet
pointed everybody. Yeah, it was a CNN piece, That's what
it is, so take it for what it's worth. But
(22:01):
the highlights from there and a couple of other sources
I use to put this list together, did seem to
at least be fairly balanced. So Number one, both sides
still lobby and missiles at each other. Number two, our
country has closed two embassies since this started, one in
Riyage and that was hit by two suspected Iranian drones
(22:21):
by the way, and the other in Kuwait. Our government
has ordered non essential personnel and six neighboring countries across
the Middle East to pack up and come home. Casualties
in Iran so far estimated at seven hundred, that number
would have been a whole lot worse, by the way,
had Israel and our military not been using very specifically
(22:41):
guided missiles to minimize collateral damage. President Trump warned Monday
that we haven't even begun hitting Iran hard, and senior
officials hinted that we were preparing for a major uptick.
So if you're listening in Iran, go find someplace to
hide soon. This is not going to work out well
(23:03):
for that regime. It's not. What of our strikes inflicted
significant damage to a fuel enrichment plant, according to the
UN's nuclear observers. That's an interesting thing to know, and
that's that's part of what started all this, actually, is
that they just steadfastly refused not to continue trying to
(23:26):
get weapons grade nuclear material. Narrative changes slightly sometimes. We
entered this war based on what seems to be pretty credible,
credible DOUG evidence that Iran was dangerously close to developing
nuclear weapons, and that can't happen because as soon as
that bunch has one, they're gonna sling it, and for
(23:48):
many reports, Irunians around the world are celebrating and praising
our country and our president for dethroning the former government
there where and over here, we've got people banging tambourines
and shouting in megaphones and saying we shouldn't have done that,
when their own people are praising us for doing it.
(24:08):
Them skip that when it's not important, trying to remove
innocent civilian. Oh yeah, some airline traffic has resumed over
the Middle East, fortunately to get all the tourists and
business people stuck. Since this started, to get them out
of there, most governments around the world are casting people
against traveling to the region, said Captain Obvious by the
(24:32):
way recent news from multiple sources, including Scott Jennings at CNN,
there's that again. But it was reasonable it so we
struck when we did, based on evidence that are on
planned missile strikes against the US military and civilian targets
in that region. We had two choices, punch or get punched,
(24:53):
surprise an enemy, or let them surprise US. And President
Trump chose to surprise the enemy, and he has and
he's saved a bunch of American lives. I'm positive of that.
Along the way, we got to tell you another little
break here. Treaty Oak is the company that is developing
Whitetail Ranch up about ten miles west of cold Spring.
(25:13):
I've talked to the guy who runs Treaty Oak and
he emphasized to me that they are just going out
of their way to create a beautiful, relaxing, quiet Texas
ranch themed development where the home sites run from one
and a half to more than four acres. There's going
to be concrete roads, no mud taxes, amazing amenities, and
(25:37):
they're up and running and ready to sell you one
of those lots, two, three, half a dozen whatever you
want right now during this grand opening special time. You
can get at least twenty thousand dollars off any lot
you want to pick, or multiple lots if you want,
and pay no closing costs either. Experience this country lifestyle
(25:59):
that's it's being put together to last for forever. I
guess Whitetail Ranch dot com is the website. Go check
it out, maybe make a phone call up there, talk
about where and how it all works. Whitetail ranch dot com.
What's life without a NAP? I suggest you go to bed,
sleep it off.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
Just wait until the show's over. Sleepy back that Doug
Pike as fifty plus continues from the desk that I
wish would go away someday, I really, sincerely.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Wish this would happen. Comes word. If you haven't heard yet,
that an illegal immigrant from sier Leon. I'm not even
going to give you the man's name. It's just I
don't want to say his name out loud. He doesn't
deserve that stabbed a Virginia woman to death at a
bus stop on yesterday. This guy has been arrested more
than thirty times, and every time somehow where he's been
(27:00):
when he got arrested and charged and tried, he's gotten
out a very loose rain on violent criminals from other countries.
I guess judges feel more sorry for them than they
do Americans in a lot of cases, kind of like
when President Trump asked the Congress, hey, stand up if
(27:22):
you want to put Americans before illegal immigrants, and not
one of the people on the left side stood up,
not a one. That's some pretty telling. And I hope
you remember that when you vote both in the well
not in the primaries. It really doesn't matter but when
it comes to the November election, and I will be
(27:46):
willing to bet you that almost every candidate who's running
for office as in the GOP is going to have
that somewhere somehow in their campaign. How can you not
put that in your campaign when every one of them
just said, no, we don't care about America and we
just care about illegal immigrants because we're gonna turn them
into voters and give them citizenship and still keep giving
them your money as long as you can pay. That's
(28:09):
kind of how it's starting to go. But I don't
think it's I don't think it's gonna make it. I
really don't. So anyway, back to this bad guy being
cut loose after thirty sum out of rest. Here's what's
on his rap sheet, and not every time, but these
are all there. Rape, malicious wounding, assault, drug possession, identity theft, larceny,
(28:33):
firing a weapon, contributing to the delinquency of a minor,
and then the petty stuff trespassing and pickpocketing, and oh yeah,
right now, murder that's on his sheet. He knows nothing else.
I've talked about this before. Habitual criminals, that's their job.
(28:54):
You and I get up and go do our job.
Every day. They get up and go stick up people,
They rape, they do all these bad things, set off
guns here or there and everywhere. This guy's got delinquency
of a miner that probably was pleaded down from something
far worse. He's' that's what he does, and that's all
(29:17):
he's gonna do. And despite being here illegally and racking
up dozens of arrests and being in trials many times
when he could have been put away for a long time.
An innocent American woman is dead. She didn't do anything
but go to the bus stop, either to get home
or go to see a friend, or go to work
(29:38):
or whatever, and this lunatic came up and killed her.
Shame on all of them for letting people like that out. Also,
now this was interesting, and there's a second thing to do.
How much time do I have? Will a couple of minutes? Okay? Good, good,
good good? So I don't want to have to rush
this because there's something I want to say towards the
end of it. The Columbia University this this week, the
(30:00):
anti Israel Israel group from that university allegedly that you'll
understand why I said that in a minute from the
Columbia University Apartheid divest posted death to America in Persian
late Saturday. A free speech is free speech right, but
that doesn't mean we have to support it or send
(30:21):
as much as a nickel to Colombia if indeed that
is a university organization. Here's where it gets a little harry.
Statement from Colombia claims that there's no evidence that anyone
in control of that account is a current student, staff,
or faculty member at Columbia, and that whoever made the
(30:42):
post is illegally using the Columbia name. So and I
believe that to be I believe that to be true.
And even if it is, though, where was the effort
before now to have that account taken down? If they
knew about it. If they knew about it and didn't
do anything about it, that's not really good. But now
(31:05):
when somebody posts something really bad and they're gonna come
out and tell us it's not real and it's being
run illegally, well good, take some legal action against those people.
From the Nothing to See Yet desk. Reports have come
out that Iranian hackers are intent on disrupting cyberspace communication
(31:25):
first throughout the region that's where it's happening now, and
then potentially elsewhere. Who knows they're hackers, Who knows how
far they can go, Who knows how what they can
get into and what they can't. So far, there's no
indication that they've tried to tap into cyberspace over here,
but you never know, although, well, you know, when I
couldn't get to Instagram in here, that could have been
(31:46):
because of a could have been because of an Iranian hacker.
You don't think so surely I'm a target. They've never
heard of me, and I'm kind of glad of that action.
All right. Let me soften it up here and brighten
it up a little bit. Stanford University and experiments on
(32:08):
mice researchers have cured mice of type one diabetes without insulin,
without immune suppression. They've got this double transplant method they're
using wherein mice with type one diabetes were fully cured
of the condition. It's done, it's gone, it's out of
their bodies. Scientists say that success with diabetes also could
(32:28):
lead to other autoimmune disorders in humans potentially being cured.
So I'll watch for more on that, and I'll let
you know the world champion. How much time do I have? Well, oh,
I can slow down. I'm talking so fast right now
and I don't need to. That is so good, Thank you.
I titled this one this is kind of a fun
(32:48):
fact to know until next time you're just hanging around
from hanging around with I don't know, in the steam
room at your club or whatever. Finland has more than
one sauna for every two people in the country. Do
you know that way you have been in a finished sauna.
I haven't either. I've been to Sweden. That's as close
(33:10):
as I could possibly get. This is whether it's a
lucky number or not. I don't know the sum of
all the numbers in roulette. Six hundred and sixty six.
That's scary. Will never gonna spin the wheel again? Are
you be careful? Man? That's just right there. It is
just right there in front of you. You know it's bad.
(33:31):
The world champion Monopoly player, by the way, an Englishman
named Jason Bunn, has finally revealed his winning strategies. Now
they're not that very complicated. Honestly, I looked and it's
interesting and some of the things I could already. Yeah,
you got to do that to win. But if you
play a lot of monopoly and you want to be
(33:52):
the one who wins, you might want to go look
him up. His name's Jason Bunn and he's the world champion.
And I'll tell you the secret, the biggest secret of all. Oh,
we're out of time, See you tomorrow. Audios.
