Internet Down

Today, Doug Pike discusses the internet being down, rainfall, and vitamin K.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Remember when it was impossible to misplace the TV remote
because you were the TV remote. Remember when music sounded
like this, Remember when social media was truly social?

Speaker 2 (00:17):
Hey John, how's it going today? Well, this show is
all about you die.

Speaker 1 (00:24):
This is fifty plus with Doug Pike, Helpful information on
your finances, good health, and what to do for fun.
Fifty plus brought to you by the UT Health Houston
Institute on Aging Informed decisions for a healthier, happier life.

Speaker 2 (00:42):
And now fifty plus with Doug Pike.

Speaker 3 (00:46):
All right, here we go. Today starts right now. Thank
you for joining us and sharing your lunch hour really
with Will and me. This particular day has real potential
to change a lot. As they wanders towards sunset, it's
been so bright and shiny for so long. It's kind
of weird almost to see the clouds out there and

(01:09):
recognize that there is a forty percent chance of rain
this afternoon. But that's not gonna work if all of
us are hoping we all get significant rainfall on our
lightly toasted yards. Some here's the deal, if some of
you will just wait for the next rain chance, which

(01:31):
looks like Friday. Actually, it looks really good. For Friday
and even better for Saturday. Maybe I can get a
little rain down in Sugarland, huh. Or actually, I guess
you know what, I'll go the other way. I'll take
a pass on rain today. I'm okay, we watered the
yard yesterday, so I'll take a pass on rain today
so that more of you can get that forty percent chance,

(01:53):
and then gladly we can all maybe hope for a
good soaking on Saturday or Sunday. Dry though, the good
news is that our temperatures finally seem to be taking
a downward turn, a legitimate, a legitimate it's not a dive.
It's not going down quickly, but it's going down nonetheless
as we creep deeper into autumn. The seven day trend,

(02:15):
this is something new that I found at my little
weather site. Seven day trend shows daytime highs falling on
average by about six or eight degrees over these next
seven days, and there's not a ninety on the board anywhere.
That's pretty noteworthy. The highest temperature for the next week

(02:36):
allegedly is going to be eighty seven, and it probably
won't even get there. North of I ten if you
live up in the woodlands, if you live in Montgomery County,
if you live anywhere really north of Ien, you might
you might just be mid eighties, low eighties. It's gonna
be all right, by the way. In the tropics, the

(02:57):
conflinty factor trump Storm Melissa's formed down in the Caribbean
and is expected to become a hurricane in the next
several days. Forecast models for this one are as as
confused as I've ever seen them for any tropical weather
that's got a name on it. It just there's no

(03:19):
real trau this model. I look at these models, I
look at take into account sixteen different predictions, sixteen different
algorithms that give you if this then that, and if
that then this, and it just goes all over the board.
And I don't think there are even two of the

(03:40):
sixteen that are pointed in the same direction. It's just
us this. It almost looks like if you were to
put some ah, what animal, what tiny little insect ants?
Let's just use ants. If you took sixteen ants and
you put them on a paper plate and then had

(04:01):
each of those ants walk through ink and then follow
their little, tiny, six legged footprints all over the paper plate,
That's what this model looks like, don't know whether it's
going to go north, south, east, west.

Speaker 2 (04:17):
It may do all of the above.

Speaker 3 (04:18):
According to some of them, it goes, it goes a
little bit northwest, then back to the northeast, and then
circles back on itself. In some of them, they have
no idea where this thing's going. That's the bottom line. Hopefully,
just hopefully, the coal front headed our way is going
to give Melissa the tropical storm now Melissa kicking the

(04:40):
rear and maybe send her back out to sea before
she finds her way much farther west. I don't want
that thing to get much farther west because if it
kind of slips under the curtain and that coal front
rolls right over on top.

Speaker 2 (04:53):
Of it.

Speaker 3 (04:55):
And keeps going east, that could be a problem. Hopefully
not hopefully not so far, so good, And off to
the markets we go. Where the dow, as you just
heard on the Fox report, up another solid chunk this morning,
about half a point to nearly forty seven thousand. The
other three indicators were far less interesting, not moving much.

(05:18):
I think one maybe the rustle was up a little
bit and the other two were down or something like that.
But it really wasn't a scary day or a jubilant day,
other than the Dow being just right up there at
forty seven thousand. If it goes green tomorrow, it'll probably
get there. Oil was below by small margin, below fifty

(05:41):
seven dollars a barrel last I looked, which was about
an hour and a half ago, and gold at the
same time I looked at oil, Gold was down two
hundred and twenty eight dollars an ounce. It's still pretty
nice at forty one thirty or so. That's what it
was then, so it's not like it just the bottom
fell out. But to lose two hundred and twenty eight

(06:03):
dollars so far today it may go more. Who knows.
That's a pretty good chunk. That's a pretty good chunk. Okay,
let's look at something a little lighter or good news.
I'll go with good news. I'm gonna lead with the
best good news I have for today. It's not just
something interesting. This is solid science that is still in development,

(06:25):
but it holds great promise, and I like that kind
of thing. I don't recall ever going into the grocery
store and see if you go down the vitamin aisle
will have you ever seen bottles of vitamin K you
have in the store. No you have not, No you
have not. Will tell the truth? Thumbs up or thumbs down? Really? Yeah,

(06:51):
turn it? Go ahead and turn it over. Yeah, okay,
I believe that part. No, he has not seen it,
Nor have I B C, D half the alphabet variations
on B, different milligrams and whatnot of all of those. Anyway,
the bottom line is vitamin K, and I don't. I

(07:12):
guess it's somewhere out there. Botom McKay shows promise in
a Japanese study of potentially being used in a concocted form.
They're gonna they're gonna do special stuff with the bottom K.
You don't just get it from whatever you eat it
that has it. But the bottom line is potentially long

(07:34):
term treatment and even shutting down neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's, Alzheimer's,
and Huntington's. I don't know how long it's gonna take
them to figure out exactly what makes that work, but
they're way down the road with it at least, and
the studies published out there shows very good results in
anything that will help people stricken with those conditions. Just

(07:57):
can't come too soon. It can't that that would be fantastic,
there's some relief. I know people who have passed from
two of those three, and I know somebody who has
the third as a matter of fact, and that's it's
just horrifying what it does to the human body. A
Late Health. A Late Health is a vascular clinic and
run by doctor Andrew Doe, whom I've interviewed several times

(08:19):
on this program, and I love talking to him. He
brings a lot to the table and I greatly appreciate
that what he does in his clinic most often is
prostate artery embolization. For those of us who are male
and senior, and probably by the time you're about sixty
sixty five at least, you're gonna start feeling some symptoms

(08:40):
of an enlarged, non cancerous prostate, hopefully noncancerous. And if
you get those symptoms, you know you're not gonna like them.
You should know you're not gonna like them. And if
you don't, I'll tell you not pleasant at all. And
you can get them alleviated though, by going to a
Late Health and letting doctor Doe do that. Prostate artery
embolization which shuts down on the blood supply to that

(09:02):
to that prostate, and as it shrivels up and goes away,
so go its symptoms. They also do fibroid treatments for women.
They do ugly veins, they make them disappear. There are
some head pains that can be cured with vascular procedures.
Go to their website, take a look at around at

(09:23):
all the things they do in that clinic, all of
which is done right there in the clinic, usually within
two hours or less. You'll need a ride home. Of course,
most of what they do is covered by Medicare and Medicaid.
They also do regenerative medicine too, which most of you
probably know by now is extremely helpful with chronic pain.
Go to the website, look around, then give them a call.

(09:43):
It's a L A T E A Latehealth dot com.

Speaker 2 (09:53):
What's life without a net? If I suggest you go
to bed, sleep it off, just wait until the show's over. Sleepy.
Back to Doug Pike as fifty plus continues.

Speaker 3 (10:04):
What year was that? I can't remember? What year that
song was from I'll have to try it. I'll check
it out. I'll talk to Will when we get to
the break again. Moving into some of the news post
mortem on the No Kings events over the country over
the weekend, I saw a couple of pretty well corroborated
stories in which crowd numbers had been grossly inflated. I'm

(10:26):
not naive. There were some pretty big crowds in some places,
but a lot of the people in those crowds, based
on some interviews I saw, couldn't really even kind of
come up with one single thing that President Trump's done
with which they disagree or think that he shouldn't have done.
They're just there because, well, some of them after years,

(10:51):
are being told he's the bad guy by people pointing
at him, so nobody's looking at them. They bought into
that garbage, and somebody told them to be on the
street corner of Dawn No King's rally, and by gosh,
that's where they were. Young and old people too, from
every walk of life. Lots of people who don't want
a king in the White House to take our rights away.

(11:11):
I don't want a king, but if anything, President Trump's
moving our country back to being run by the folks
who vote in this country back toward being safer, more
prosperous that it's been in quite some time. I don't recall,
and this is good news. I don't recall seeing or
hearing any really serious acts of physical violence during the weekend.

(11:34):
I'm sure there were a couple of fistfights somewhere, but
by and large, there was a modicum of civility, I
guess you could say. And that being said, there were
protesters in some parts of the country who opted, rather
than get into altercations, to just go defaced churches, in
street signs and buildings, you know, the usual stuff with

(11:58):
their no King's graffiti, and somebody's gonna have to clean
that up. Somebody's gonna have to pay for it, and
probably it's going to be the building owners and the
church owners, and that's that's just not how we're supposed
to do things in this country. Speaking of that rainbow
crosswalk that was removed by the state, was repainted, I

(12:23):
presume in the dead of night. And you know, it's
gonna be interesting to see where this goes, because it's
it's become a little bit of a cat and mouse
gin and my guess is that rainbow crosswalks are going
to show up in other parts of the city and
and here, there and everywhere until I guess until somebody
runs out of paint, which may take a while. Uh

(12:44):
there there will be some other cause. And I'm not
knocking why the people who did it did it, but
it's I don't know, there's just no I don't see
where it where the benefit outweighs the you know, honestly
don't see how. It's a terrible problem. But I'll leave

(13:05):
that to people with higher pay grades than mine. That's
taken care of. That's taken care of. Somewhat disappointing from
Saturday Night Live, which has become kind of a recurring
theme for me, unfortunately, was its Saturday Night comparison to
President Trump's administration to the Nazis of eighty years ago.
Really not even close, not even close, according to what

(13:30):
more than half this nation's voters. But trying to reason
with the people who write those skits now and the
people who, I guess the people who work on camera
for Saturday Night Life really don't have any choice but
to say what they're told to say when they're told
to say it. On the Q cards. Otherwise they're out

(13:51):
of a job. But I kind of have issue with
making that show political. It really has gone that way,
and I just don't like it. I really don't like it.
But trying to reason with the people who write those
skits would be pretty much a waste of effort. As
a line, there's a line I saw a while back,

(14:12):
and I really like it. I found it on the Internet.
Feel free to use it if you want to, but
in this case, relative to the people who feel this
way about our present, I have neither the time nor
the crayons to explain it to them. I love that line.
I've never used it. I would not say that to
somebody's face. I think that would be very insulting, and

(14:34):
unless it was a joke and everybody knew it was
a joke, and be like trying to explain to a
friend of mine why he missed a putt yesterday or
something like that. But not in a serious not in
a serious discussion of anything. That's that shouldn't be done
to anybody, no matter how wrong you think somebody is,

(14:55):
they are entitled to their opinions, and I'd never take
that away from any I used to like I used
to love Saturday Night Live, I really did. I loved
it when it was funny and when it spent equal
time jabinet politicians on both sides of the alle plenty
of time writing original, creative humor. That's what the show

(15:17):
was intended to be all along. Lorne Michaels, I presume
he's still in charge somehow, but he is either taking
a hard, hard turn, or he's not really paying that
close attention to what's being put out, which I doubt
I don't think. I don't think that's the case with him.
I think he knows exactly what's going on, which really

(15:39):
bothers me. He should know better. Not even subtle anymore,
they're just trying to teach people how to think, taking
away independent thought, which I think is a far greater
threat to this country really than anything that's being done
on the right. The left continues to just shower down,

(16:04):
just double down on all of these things where it's
talking about how bad our president is, and we look
around and he's bringing peace to parts of the world
that haven't experienced it in a long time. He has
gotten he has generated trillions of dollars in investment in
this country, of ours over the relatively short term. It's

(16:27):
going to help pay off our debt. All kinds of
good things that the man's doing, and he's not doing them.
He's not doing them for anything more than the love
of the country. He certainly doesn't need the money. The
salary that our president makes is far less than a
whole lot of people make. It's a whole lot less money.

(16:47):
And he doesn't need the money. He doesn't need it
at all. Got that taken care of. I've got that.
I'll slide back over to something kind of funny or interesting. Oh,
by the way, Will, I don't know if you knew
it or not, but today's National Sasquatch Awareness Day? Did
you know that? Are you gonna celebrate in any way,
shape or form. Yeah, I'm not either. A new report

(17:08):
ranked the places in America where you're statistically more likely
to see Bigfoot than other places. It says the top
two places are Washington State and West Virginia. I say
the two states where you're more likely to see Bigfoot
than others are Delusion and Confusion. Both states far more

(17:29):
likely to harbor bigfoot. They say Bigfoot or sasquatch? Are
they related?

Speaker 2 (17:35):
Well?

Speaker 3 (17:36):
I think they're cousins. Yeah, I do too, and next
time I see one. You know, if there really was
a bigfoot or a Sasquatch or any of that, a
Cajun would have already. Yeah, they'd have found one on
the side of the road and called all their friends over.
I'm half Cajun, by the way, and it's so true.

(17:58):
There's a lot of stuff that Cajun's have learned how
to cook and eat. Oh, I gotta go all right, Well,
sorry about that. Country Boys Roofing we are not. Depending
on who you ask news anchors or weather people, we're
not out of the woods yet entirely on hurricane season.

(18:19):
But even if we were, there would still be no
better time than the present to get your roof assessed
by somebody who knows what they're looking at, and that
would be John Aitman from Country Boys Roofing. He or
someone from his company, equally trained and spotting problems with roofs,
will climb up there, look around, come down. Let you

(18:40):
know whether they did or did not find any problems.
If they didn't, that's great for you. See in a
year or two, if they do find problems, they're going
to help you work out a way to get it
taken care of, whether it's if it's something really small,
they'll do it for you. They may even have the
stuff they need to fix it right there on the truck,
so you don't have to worry about it, don't have
to worry about a return visit. Even if they don't,

(19:03):
they'll schedule something with you at a very fair price
for very professional work, and fix it once, fix it
for good. If you need a full replacement roof, by
the way, and a lot of us can't just write
a check for that, they work with a finance company
to make sure you can get that lid on your
roof before some potential problem comes along and makes a
problem worse. Country boys roofing. If you wear a badge

(19:28):
for a living, if a first responder, if you're an educator,
if you are pastor present military, John will give you
fifteen hundred dollars off that complete roof. Even if you
don't qualify for any of those discounts. Like I've said before,
just drop my name. He'll give you a thousand dollars
off legit, thousand dollars off the price. He's not jacking

(19:51):
it up and then bringing it back down This is
something he's doing for my listeners and for the people
he believes, and I believe with him, deserve breaks, deserve
some help making sure their houses are taking care of
business while they're out working for us. Countryboysroofing dot Com
is the website Country of the k Boys with a
Z for you gen Zers and millennials and all those

(20:15):
other generations. If you're a good old fashioned boomer like me,
just spell it the way you would have spelled it
in the third grade spelling bee, and it'll pop up
just below where you wrote it that way. Countryboysroofing dot com.

Speaker 2 (20:28):
Yeah, they sure don't make them like they used to.

Speaker 1 (20:31):
That's why every few months we wash them, check his fluids,
and spring on a fresh coat of wax. This is
fifty plus with Doug Pike. Welcome back, Thanks for listening.
Certainly to appreciate it.

Speaker 3 (20:43):
On this beautiful soon to be potentially partly rainy and
mostly cloudy, and hey, we could use the clouds. It'll
keep keep a little of the heat off even though
we're not having so much heat as we used to.
So so good, oh so good. Finally get a little
feel for fall. I play golf on Mondays this is

(21:03):
my only day off, and I on Sunday night I
had I was just so giddy with anticipation over it
being cool during the day that I actually dug deep
in the closet and pulled out a quarter zip that
I was just going to toss in the car. I
just tossed it in there in just a case I
need it for warm up before we go out. Well,

(21:26):
I got out, I had it sitting at the back door,
hanging over the little chair in the breakfast room. Had
it sitting there ready to go, and I opened the
door and took two steps out. I think to throw
something in the trash can or whatever. I'm not gonna
need the quarter zip. It wasn't that cool. Wasn't that
cool at all. But it's still It's coming. It's coming.

(21:48):
It's gonna be okay. The sun will come out tomorrow.
Bet your bottom dollar. Wait, that's no. How about this?
This was interesting? Remember Corrinne Jean Pierre, who covered President
Biden for pretty much every gaff he made while he
was in office and defended him. She did a good job.
I didn't believe much of what she said, but she tried.

(22:11):
Even after they I think she came on after they
booted the redhead I can't remember her name. She also
charged with a very difficult job, and more power to
them they they did what they were supposed to do.
Turns out, though, that Coarine Jean Pierre has abandoned the
left for more of an independent path, and I'd bet

(22:33):
she's leaning right, but just can't say so out loud.
There are just too many people who would come down
hard on her if she did. In the book that
she wrote, I don't recall the title of it, and
in the book she wrote this quote, I'm going to
become an independent. I don't think I can stomach being
in the Democratic Party anymore. End quote that kind of

(22:55):
says it all right and not I'm gonna let that.
I'm just gonna walk away from that one and go
to Oh goodness, I've got so many I'm gonna save
this one for later. I'll save this one for the
fourth segment, and I'll come back over here. Something I
found out in case you experienced it. Yesterday, there was

(23:16):
a kind of a major outage, a web service outage,
Amazon web services out and because we only have a
very small handful of these major overseers of the entire
internet around here. That one outage Amazon Web Services took

(23:37):
out all of these. I don't know how long did
you experience any of that?

Speaker 2 (23:42):
Will? Yes?

Speaker 3 (23:43):
No, No, I didn't either. I didn't realize it was done,
and whatever it was, they fixed it quickly. But you
have to wonder who did it and how it was done.
Who did it, how was it done, and what were
they trying to figure out? Well, anyway, here's what we
lost when it did go down, for however long it
went down, Amazon, Alexa, Ring, Reddit, Snapchat, Wordle, dual, Lingo, Roadblocks, fortnite,

(24:11):
coinbased Robinhood, Venmo, Perplexity, Chat, gpt, Hens, United Airlines, Delta, Canva, Flicker, McDonald's,
the Associated Press, NPR.

Speaker 2 (24:21):
And more.

Speaker 3 (24:24):
No news on how or why it happened that I've seen, anyway,
but it is pretty frightening to realize just how much
can be lost of our ability to communicate. Now, these
were whimsical, fancy or not fancy, but kind of flimsy
little things that didn't really affect our country's safety or

(24:45):
our safety. But if they can do it here, there's
probably a chance that they, whoever they might be, can
do it elsewhere too, and it's a little bit disturbing
to me. I would hope that we can kind of
find a way to do for that or with all
of that, AIS continues, it's plod forward and taking over

(25:07):
the world. I saw something, where is it? Artificial intelligence?
These startup companies, artificial intelligence startups are increasingly adopting a
nine to nine to six work culture. They work from
nine am to six pm, six days a week, nine

(25:27):
to nine, six days a week. You know, sounds a
little bit like my schedule, except for the nine to
nine I'm usually out of here. Well, first of all,
I'm here more like at six or seven on the weekends,
and I'm here by seven even on weekdays, except for Monday,
that's golf day, and I don't stay until nine o'clock

(25:48):
at night. But I do often stay till five, four
or five even a little bit later.

Speaker 2 (25:54):
Some days.

Speaker 3 (25:54):
I'm first in, last out. That's what it takes to
run this big monster of a show or two that
I do. I love doing. By the way, UT's Institute
on Aging is fantastic collaborative. I was talking to somebody
about it yesterday. Where is the UT Institute on Aging? Well,
it's everywhere, really it is this gathering, well, they don't
actually gather, they're just part of this assemblage of people

(26:18):
who have learned everything they needed to learn to get
through med school, to get through therapy school, to get
through kinesiology school, to get through any of these medical disciplines.

Speaker 2 (26:28):
And then they go back.

Speaker 3 (26:30):
They go back and say, wait a minute, somebody teach
me how I can apply what I already know to
seniors because we, as seniors were kind of special in
the world. We're not supposed to live as long as
we do. Most of us. We're living longer and better lives.
We're enjoying later in life stuff. And these people at

(26:51):
the Institute on Aging wants to just keep going. That's
why they're there to help you. Mostly in the med center,
but also in outlying communities and hospitals and offices and
clinics all around Houston, Greater Houston, all the places you
can think of where if you were out of town
and somebody said where you're from, you'd say Houston. There's

(27:12):
going to be somebody from the Institute on Aging that
can help you with whatever's bothering you right close to home.
Go to the website, see what it's all about uh
dot edu slash aging, uth dot edu slash aging.

Speaker 1 (27:29):
Aged to perfection. This is fifty plus with Doug Pike and.

Speaker 3 (27:34):
Welcome back, thanks for listening. Forth and final statement starts
right now.

Speaker 2 (27:38):
Oh where don't want to go?

Speaker 3 (27:39):
Oh there's some fun to do night if we can
get the clouds to clear out. I don't know if
that's going to happen, but if the clouds clear out,
we've got a dark sky, no moon tonight, and we
would be in the second the most favorable day of
the orioned meteor shower or night. I would I guess
it's not a day that goes all the way through

(28:01):
the night. I'm not sure just how clear us guy's
going to be though, but man, is it going to
be cool if it is, Because the meteors streaking through
our atmosphere are said there's supposed to be about anywhere
from ten to twenty per hour, which is quite a few. Actually,
back when I was a waterfowl hunting guide and we
would be on that prairie an hour hour and a

(28:24):
half before sunrise, we saw lots of them driving out
to where we were gonna hunt those mornings. It was
really fascinating how many once you get away from the
city lights, once you get even and back then Katie
Katie and Brookshire where a lot farther from the big
city than they are now. They're part of the big

(28:46):
city now, but there was just no light out there.
There's one stretch of road I can remember where it
was just two lane County Road, and it starts at
ninety and goes up to five twenty nine then a
little beyond there even and the only electric light along
that whole stretch of road, and it's quite a few miles,

(29:07):
was one little bare bulb on a trailer home where
one of the farm hands lived with his family. One
of the guys who kind of oversaw one of those farms.

Speaker 2 (29:18):
That was it.

Speaker 3 (29:19):
And it was dark, and you get out and you
just stand there for a minute and let the starlight
get in your eyes and open up your pupils as
wide as they will go, which I believe is six
point It might be just six millimeters it maybe six
and a half. I think it's just six. And that's
if we ever get into a discussion of binoculars, that'll
come up, but I doubt we will. But anyway, if

(29:41):
you've never really seen anything like a meteor shower. And
if you can get out to someplace where the sky
is going to be clear tonight and just kind of
lean back in a lawn chair in the back of
the truck, or maybe get out and stretch out a
blanket and just stare up at the sky, you're pretty
much gonna see some meteors tonight. This one, this one

(30:02):
was a little bit unusual, but it it seems to
be worthy of this audience. We're a lot of us
are a little bit older, we know a little bit
more about religious figures, and I just thought it was
interesting what Pope Leo has done. Leo the where'd it go? Oh,

(30:23):
Mercy's sake, where did it go? Oh? Yeah, Leo the fourteenth.
I couldn't get the number out of my head. The
Patron Saint of Animals, Patron Saint of animal like Patron
Patron Saint of Animals, Saint Francis of ASSISSI will his remains.
They are still around, and they are still buried up.

(30:49):
I'm not sure exactly where they have them, but everybody
in the Pope's realm knows exactly where they are, and
the Pope has decided to put them on display back
into the light of day from February twenty second to
March twenty second next year at the foot of the
papal Altar. These things have been sealed away for hundreds

(31:11):
of years. This is the eight hundredth anniversary of his death,
by the way, and that's why the pope decided to
do this. I don't know why they didn't do it
on the seven hundredth or before that, or why they
don't wait till the thousandth Maybe that would be well.
I'm sure that will happen again in two hundred years,
but none of us will be around for it. But yeah,
these remains have been sealed away for very long time,

(31:34):
hundreds of years, and Pope Leo says, hey, I want
to recognize the man for what he did and for
the contributions he made to humanity, so more power to him.
That's the first time in my recollection that anything like
that's been done by a pope. And I'm not Catholics,
I don't know exactly what goes on within that religion,

(32:00):
but it's still I think it's interesting and it's sort
of affirming in a way for Catholics that that's still
available to be seen. And I would bet that the
lines are going to be down the street and around
the block to walk through there for that month. Oh okay,
let's move from there to this is something that it's

(32:25):
something I almost feel like I should have already known,
and I'm starting to think now if I practice this
study at San Diego State University found that people who
consume a lot of warm drinks in winter tend to
have fewer issues with not with coals and sniffles, fewer
issues with depression and insomnia. So if you can't sleep

(32:46):
and you're feeling kind of down about it, have yourself
some warm tea, have yourself coffee. What's another I can't
think of a whole lot of other beverages that you
drink warm with coffee into. I guess they're the standouts.
By the way, if you're planning to buy a turkey,
you might want to get them while you can and

(33:07):
be prepared to pay more, because this year's turkey flock
has decreased to the smallest size in forty years, doing
great part to that outbreak of the bird flew a
while back that put eggs through the roof, and turkey
price is trending up by forty percent this Thanksgiving season,

(33:31):
So be prepared to buy a chicken or two and
just just doctor it up and tell everybody it's turkey.
I wonder if there's any way you could you could
make a chicken taste like a turkey, or a turkey
taste like a chicken. They're very distinctly different tastes, no
question about it. Somebody probably could if they can do
all they do in medicine. Somebody's sitting around one afternoon

(33:55):
in the garage. Somebody with that same level of intellect
and brains could probably do that in an afternoon out
in the garage. Bring me six chickens and six turkeys.
We'll see what we can do. Eat your kiwis. By
the way, I do you eat kiwis?

Speaker 2 (34:09):
We will?

Speaker 3 (34:11):
I don't either. I haven't bought I don't know that
I've ever bought a kiwi. I've incidentally eaten them in
fruit salads where they were part of it, and I
just didn't want to be rude and not eat and
just pick them out and push them off the side.
But apparently eating two or three kiwis a day can
relieve chronic constipation. Case you're wondering, I wasn't, but I
just thought it was kind of interesting. Um, I want

(34:35):
to wrap this up with something mind blowing. Will I'm
gonna take off that one I was telling you about.
How are we doing? What do we got? Oh thirty seconds? Okay,
I can do this. Antique dealer bought a stained glass
window in a Scottish thrift shop for twenty five bucks.
Turns out that thing belonged to King Robert the first

(34:57):
from the thirteen hundreds. Recent testing confirms the age of
the glass, which has been completely restored. Absolutely beautiful. Why
is there nothing like that ever? In my attic? There's jump,
not even much of that. We'll be back tomorrow. I'm
gonna go look for something good. Audios.
