was truly social?

Hey John, how's it going today?

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

Decisions for a healthier, happier life.

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

Speaker 3 (00:46):
Wednesday edition of the program. Start right now. Thank you
all for listening. I got the most wonderful call, by
the way, yesterday on my birthday, and thank you all
for sending me the birthday wishes through Facebook. There were
way more responses than I ever would have guessed I
would have, and I greatly appreciate each and every one
of them. I truly do. But I got a call

(01:10):
from a woman who I've known since since birth. Practically,
she and my mom were best friends all the way
through their adult lives up until my mom passed. This
woman's name is CeAl Crawford, and I hope she doesn't
mind me saying her name, but that probably was the
most uplifting call I got all day yesterday, and the

(01:32):
reason is because I haven't heard from her in a while,
and she's the closest connection I have to my mother
at this point. My dad passed long ago, and so
she is living with her son who is my age,
and the two of us, David and I spent the
better part of our younger years giving our mom's fits

(01:55):
and almost daring them to try to keep up with us,
us from skinning our knees and keep us from climbing
the trees all the way to the top of the
elm trees by the way in the back of the
Crawford Yard, where from way up high, higher than we
probably should have, climbed and swaying in the breeze, literally

(02:16):
holding on, clinging to the limbs for dear life. We
could see the top of the Esperson Building in downtown Houston.
Now that thing is dwarfed by probably I don't know
conservative vest, but fifty sixty other skyscrapers down there. But
it was all Houston had to show us back then,
and those were some of the most fun years in

(02:38):
our lives for all of us. Really, there was a
chain link fence, a four foot chain link fence at
the back of the yard that separated our two homes.
They lived on the street over from us, and our
families became such good friends that they had a gate
installed back there so that anytime somebody needed to go

(02:58):
through it and go talk to the person on the
other they could, and we spent a lot of time
doing that. That was it was really good to hear
from her. She's in her nineties now and still pretty sharp,
and I just I really enjoyed that. I really did,
as did I everything else that I was fortunate enough
to people. I was fortunate enough to hear from people

(03:20):
hadn't seen in a long time, people hadn't heard from
in a long time, and it meant a lot to me.
It truly did all of it, every one of them.
I'm gonna kind of skip over the weather because the
weather's been so good lately. It really like, okay, we
got more of that coming now. We do have some
potential for rain over the weekend, but it's not it's

(03:41):
not a great chance. It's just better than nothing. If
you get rain, be grateful. If you don't, well, you
probably you'll be like most people and not get any
rain and have to go out and water again. But
don't overwater. That's something that Irwin and Costallanos and I,
Irwin from Champions Tree Service and I talked about the
very first time he came to my house and he

(04:04):
cautioned me against overwatering these oak trees that we have.
You would think that a giant oak tree would need
tons of water, but after what a million years of evolution,
those trees pretty much figured out how to live in
Southeast Texas without being persistently drowned. So anyway, moving on,
I want to get to this before I have to
bail out. I found a story this morning, and there's

(04:28):
really no better time than now ever to let parents
and grandparents know what I found, and it is that
children as young as six, based on their social media use,
which a lot of parents are endorsing. Now, Oh yeah,
just let them play around on the iPad, let them
play around on your phone, they can't get to anything

(04:49):
harmful or dangerous. Well, truth is, they can, and they
are being exposed to, in many cases, flat out porn
in single digit ages. Most of this exposure is through
social media platforms, and most of it's accidental, But the

(05:10):
any exposure at that age shows just a really clear
failure to protect our kids from those images. If they
can accidentally find them, that means we haven't done enough
to protect them. And just since the inception of social
media and the Internet, kids used to go in the
early stages of the internet, curious kids around the time

(05:32):
of puberty and whatnot would go looking for naughty pictures
on their own. Okay, they had questions they wanted answers,
and the Internet enabled them to find them pretty easily.
Now it's something they actually just stumble onto even before
they reach middle school. And that's a little frightening, it
really is. It's a little bit frightening. What have we

(05:53):
got there? Will? Oh?

Speaker 2 (05:54):
Perfect?

Speaker 3 (05:55):
So anyway, a story and a website called life Site
share frightening stats about what kids are finding in a
correlation between that exposure and later in life a very
skewed view of how relationships and sex and consent are
supposed to work. Predominantly, what they're seeing is the grooming

(06:19):
of girls to become victims. And some of the people
who were interviewed and talked to their children said, some
of the boys come home and say that other boys
say that if girls don't act a certain way or
do certain things, then they're just useless. And that's a
frightening thought to be putting in little boys heads, a

(06:40):
frightening thought. There's some really grown up stuff they're seeing too,
on the way to trying to get through being, you know,
and they are way too young to see what they're seeing.
According to this story, set boundaries with these kids. Take time,
limits on when, where, and how kids can be on
social media. No clothes doors, leave the leave the bedroom

(07:02):
door open. If you want to be on social media.
Just read up on what sites might be. They might
seem harmless, but turns out they're not. There's one I
can't remember the name of it off hand, but there's
one that's some sort of little kid's game or kid's
app of some sort. And the bottom line is it's

(07:22):
it's got some very uh not so subliminal messaging that
pops up in there from time to time, pretty terrible stuff. Really,
I'm gonna leave that alone. I'm gonna leave that alone
for now. I'll go back here and in thirty seconds,
I don't see anything. I want to just glance over
a lot of pretty good stuff in here. I'll take

(07:44):
a break here. This is what I'll do. The Old
Quarter Acoustic Cafe is hosting the Old Quarter Songwriter Festival
in Galveston this weekend, starting Tomorrow and continuing Bru Saturday. Galveston.
Some of Galveston's most intimate musical venue, live music venues,

(08:06):
and a couple of bigger ones actually are going to
be hosting Texas songwriters, the best of the best, and
some of their friends from all over the country in
what I'm pretty dog on sure is going to be
an amazing, amazing event. If you want to go down
there and stay a couple of nights in Galveston and
soak it all in for three days, there's a pass

(08:28):
for that. If you want to just pop down one
afternoon and maybe have dinner in one of those places
and listen to the music, you can do that as well.
Texas is full of storytellers. I'm a storyteller. Most people
I know are storytellers. Will weaves a good tale when
he and I get into some discussions of stuff. An

(08:48):
Old Quarter Songwriter Songwriter Festival is going to bring all
these music lovers together and so that you and I
and anybody else who wants to go down there can
hear them? Old Quarter Accoustic Cafe, that's what. That's the
main venue they're hosting the thing, and then these other
places as well. You can find out about tickets, you
can find out about the venues, you can find out

(09:08):
who's coming, when they're gonna be where. All you gotta
do is go to Old Quarteracousticcafe dot com. That's Old
Quarter Acousticcafe dot com.

Speaker 2 (09:19):
What's life without a nap? If I suggest you to
go to bed, sleep it off, just wait until the
show's over. Sleepy.

Speaker 1 (09:26):
Back to Doug Pike as fifty plus continues fifty plus.

Speaker 3 (09:30):
Thank you all for listening. I really do appreciate it.
We got to take this whole man. When I read
that story about six year olds being able to trip
over pornographic sites online and apps and whatnot, that that
really frightened me. I'm glad I don't have a six
year old anymore. I got a seven or No, he's

(09:50):
not seventeen anymore. He's eighteen. Grown man. Now get a job, kid,
get a job. Take me fishing, take me to the
golf course. I'm gonna at some point in my life
if I live long enough well, I don't know if
I live long enough for him to repay me all
the miles that I drove him to baseball tournaments, to
golf tournaments, to tennis tournaments. What else? Did he play

(10:14):
a little bit of soccer when he was very young? Basketball?
We got a bushel basket full of those little trophies too.
Holy cow, good athlete, very good athlete all around. I
would like to see him work harder if he wants
to go to the next level. And we have that
discussion every now and then when he tells me I

(10:35):
got this, don't worry, and I say, that's not the
way I got to where I was in baseball.

Speaker 2 (10:41):
So moving on.

Speaker 3 (10:44):
In case you wondered just how soft progressive judges are
on crime, consider a couple of examples. Here in Travis County,
right here in Texas, a man accused of repeatedly sexually
assaulting a child is going to avoid prosecution on nine
felony counts after the district attorney guy backed by George

(11:10):
Sorows no surprise there, the DA agreed to a plea
deal that ultimately charged this scumbag, alleged scumbag, excuse me,
with one count of injury to a child. That's it
one count. He had nine felonies against him, including one
for continuous sexual abuse of a child younger than fourteen,

(11:35):
and what he's gonna get is five years of deferred
probation and zero jail time. That's not the kind of
person I want judging. I don't want that person on
the bench if anything were to ever happen to my son,
or to a grandchild or whomever, anybody, somebody who is alleged,

(11:58):
of course, to have done some things needs needs to
have a little more contemplation time, solitary contemplation, that would
be good. In Oklahoma, high school student accused of multiple
violent sexual assaults eleven felon accounts in all, including attempted
first degree rape, strangulation, and well nine more along those lines.

(12:23):
Originally charged as an adult back in March, but the
court has opted now that his status be changed to
youthful offender. That means a minor basically, and with that designation,
he's going to end up with little more than a
slap on the wrist. And that's just another example of
how left leaning judges want to make sure that the

(12:47):
criminals get back on the street, so they can go
hurt other people, I guess, or the third one, actually
this guy. There's video of this guy running onto a
He hops a little fence and runs onto a school playground,
tries to kidnap a child. Kidnap a child who looks
to be I don't know, six seven eight years old
up north somewhere, and in that land of idiocracy, this

(13:11):
maniac was cut loose under there's some twisted set of
laws up there. I don't remember exactly what the circumstances are,
but the judge, I guess it is, can declare that
person to be just unfixable. Basically, I wouldn't do any
good to pretty prison. He's not gonna reform anyway, So
we're just throw him back onto the street. I guess

(13:33):
because the kid he grabbed god away. Maybe maybe they
think there's no trauma. Oh he got away. He's gonna
be fine for the rest of his life. No, he's not.
That little boy is is gonna wake up screaming, gonna
wake up scared for many, many, many years to come,
all because this knucklehead decided he was gonna try to

(13:54):
kidnap people. And bear in mind, he's got a rap
sheet that includes some other stuff kind of like that
try and release, though if you get the right DA
you don't even have to go to trial before you
can get back out and hurt or kill somebody. You
can just go walk through that revolving door, walk it through.
It's so just so disgusting, really that people like that

(14:17):
are out there, and that these very progressive judges, in
the name of trying to fix people who are just
permanently broken, they want to just put them back on
the street. We have to have we've got to get
a good handle, a better handle on mental health for starters,

(14:40):
and especially among people who commit violent crimes and ruin
people's lives, absolutely ruin their lives. And he's back on
the street, and that happened before, and so he's done
it again, and he's probably done it many more times,
just didn't get caught. Then. Remember the big story about
how ICE rated a daycare center and hall to teach
out in front of the little kids, all over the news,

(15:04):
all over social media for a day or two. There
were even shots fired at ICE agents in response to
that initial report, which was all alike. ICE agents did
not go into that daycare center, but had to. Well,
they didn't go into their first. It was the woman
they were trying to apprehend who ran in there, thinking

(15:26):
she could elude the agents by going into a daycare center.
She started it big story when the good guys were
made to look bad. It was everywhere for a while,
but somehow now that it's really not that story, and
it's all about the woman who was being chased, who
ran into there and started all that stuff. Now it's

(15:47):
nothing to see here. Don't hold your breath waiting to
see any or any of that on network news or
in any big city newspaper. They wouldn't even cover that
in a small city newspaper paper left or right, because
somebody's cow probably got out of the barn and ran
down the street somewhere in absolutely crazy news. Think about this.

(16:11):
There's a thirty year old law out in California and
in most states that makes it unlawful to file a
knowingly false complaint against a police officer. That law has
been overturned by the California Supreme Court on the basis

(16:32):
that it violates freedom of speech. So now if you
are just mad at the police and you can make
a phone call, you can call them up and say, hey,
I had an interaction with this police officer, and that

(16:53):
person mistreated me, horribly touched me and appropriately said horrible
things to me.

Speaker 2 (17:00):
And I think that.

Speaker 3 (17:02):
Person needs to be reprimanded at least. And by the way,
I'm probably gonna sue you too. Well, that's okay, they
can do that now, and then it's gonna be up
to the officer to prove himself or herself not guilty,
perfectly legally in California. Now, to file a false report

(17:26):
alleging that a police officer has done something wrong to you,
that is just absolutely nuts. That's absolutely nuts. Whatever happened,
whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty. What they've done
is flip that on its head and said, Nope, you're
gonna be guilty until you can prove to us that
you didn't do what this person is making up in

(17:48):
their head as they go along and write the complaint.
And he did this, Oh and he did this too.
Oh I forgot to mention he did that too. That's nuts. Especially,
I gotta go will already. Ali didn't even warn me
or did you? Yeah, you gave me a two, didn't you. Ah,

(18:08):
It's about what I get on a one to nine
for that dive Ut Institute on Aging is the collaborative
among more than a thousand providers now easily more than
a thousand, who all have gone back and gotten additional
help and training and education in how they can apply
their specific field of knowledge to seniors. What a gift

(18:29):
that is to us, frankly, what a wonderful gift to
have all these providers right here in the greater Houston area.
They're gonna make appointments with you in the med center
where most of them primarily operate, or you can find
some of them who also come out to outlying areas
in Kingwood and Pearland and Katie and sugar Land and

(18:51):
friends would all around us. These people will go out
for a day or two or three a week so
that the patients who desperately need to see them for
something that really needs fixing can see the right provider,
someone who knows them as well or better than they
know themselves. It's a great, great opportunity. Go to the website,

(19:12):
look at all the resources there, and then find your
way to one of the providers who can help you,
probably right down the street. It's Houston's big streets, but
somewhere close by uth dot edu. Slash aging is the
website ut dot edu slash aging.

Speaker 2 (19:31):
Now they sure don't make them like they used to.

Speaker 1 (19:33):
That's why every few months we wash them, check us
fluids and spring on a fresh code O wax.

Speaker 2 (19:39):
This is fifty plus with Doug Pike back.

Speaker 3 (19:43):
Thank you for listening. Certainly do appreciate it. Third segment
of the program starts right now, Thank you very much.
Why not talk about Jasmincrockett, Texas State Rep. Jasmincrocket up
round the Dallas area. I believe it's her territory, and
she does know how to attracted attention to herself, and
she's back in the news for just that. She's attracted

(20:04):
attention because federal election filings, according to Fox News, show
that she spent nearly seventy five thousand dollars on luxury hotels.
On transportation, and I'm not talking about uber, I'm talking
about high flute and transportation for visits to as a

(20:26):
representative in state government from Texas from the Dallas area.
She needed to spend time for some reason, in Mars's Vineyard, Chicago,
New York City, Las Vegas, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and
this all in this year. It's also racked up almost
fifty thousand dollars, despite saying we needed to defund the police.

(20:51):
We don't need the police. Everything's fine. Well, that fifty
grand went for her personal security. You know what her
campaign slogan ought to be good for thee, but not
good enough for me, because that's kind of the way
she prances around and makes a scene in many, if

(21:12):
not all places she goes. She fancies herself a potential
candidate for much higher office than state house. I don't
think that she can fool that many people to get
herself higher. I just I can't see that, even even

(21:36):
in these times when there are lots of very liberal,
very progressive people out there, she just tends to go
off on tangents that even even people way out on
the left kind of cringe when they hear see speaking
of women in government. I mentioned yesterday that Nancy Pelosi's

(21:59):
retiring after she finishes out this term. She'll she'll be
gone after the midterms, and her daughter is actually diving
into politics where and how, I don't know. What I
didn't mention about Nancy though, was just how good a
ride her service in Congress has been for her. It
turns out that she and her husband, Paul we all

(22:22):
remember his moment in the spotlight a while back. Anyway,
the two of them managed over her. It was about
forty years, roughly forty years in congress making probably when
she started. I bet they weren't making seventy five thousand
dollars a year now. I think it's about one hundred
and a half maybe something like that. But she didn't
let that hold her back. No, no, no, She and

(22:44):
Paul have racked up a tidy little one hundred and
thirty million dollars from mostly from strategic stock trading during
her time in office. And hey, they made those moves,
and they were right more prior to them. I wish,
I wish I knew who their broker was. I'd like
to get with that person. That's more than three million

(23:05):
dollars a year every year, and it comes out to
a return an ROI, if you will, a return on
investment sixteen thousand, nine hundred and thirty percent. It's pretty good.
That's pretty good, man. I wish I was I don't know,
ten percent that good, that'd be all right, sixteen hundred

(23:28):
and ninety three percent, that'd be all right, be pretty good.
Down south of the border. We got to talk about this.
The president of Mexico finds herself between a rock and
a hard place. President Claudia Scheinbaum does not like our
war on drugs and claims that killing drug smugglers violates
their rights. It violates their rights. What right would that be?

(23:51):
The right to kill teenagers, the right to kill young
adults in our country? I guess that's the one her
hesitance I think exposes. I've heard several people talk about this,
some potential connection really maybe between federal government down there
and the cartels, which are now really more in charge

(24:12):
of quite a bit of that country than she is.
There are places I just saw a story on this yesterday.
There are places where Americans are being told not to go.
And those places in Mexico, and some of them very
popular destinations, have the same designation as a war zone.

(24:33):
It can be that dicey to be down there. Now,
that's not all of Mexico. It's not all of the
people of Mexico. I understand that. But where those designations
are in place, I would not want to be walking
down the street at night alone. Speaking of Venezuela, has

(24:53):
mobilized its military to do I don't know what. Honestly,
they're upset that our navy has moved an aircraft carrier
and support vessels down their way, and so now Venezuela's
flexing as best it can. They pretty much know that
any sort of provocation of the US Navy wouldn't end

(25:14):
well for them, So it's sort of it looks a
lot like the situation Mexico's in. Drugs are a golden goose,
and whether or not any of that money is funneled
into government people's hands, which anybody who's ever done business
in Mexico knows that you've got to grease a lot

(25:34):
of wheels usually to get things done. I experienced that
many many years ago with a business dealing I was
trying to put together down there. It just we couldn't
get it done because well, there were a lot of reasons.
In any event, that's they're going to have to come
up with a way that they can support more the

(26:00):
effort to stop drug smuggling than to support the smuggling itself,
because it looks like with what they're doing in both cases,
they're trying to get us to turn a blind eye
to all the fentanyl that's coming into our country, and
we used to do it. We did it just a
year ago, didn't we. Nobody was down there trying to

(26:21):
really stop the drug smugglers. But we are now, and
a lot more forcefully and not more convincingly. I'm not
sure how they're gonna recruit people to run those boats
over here, but apparently some are still getting through. Otherwise
nobody'd be on the water, all in bundles of cocaine
and fentanyl pills and whatever. In music news, I found
this very interesting. You know, you know what, I'm gonna

(26:43):
wait until after I'll wait till after the break to
tell you this. There is music news that will surprise
most of the more senior parts of this audience, and
may not surprise at all the adult children of the
older people who listened to this show, who are also
listening on behalf of their parents. In any event, I'm

(27:06):
gonna go to break here and I'll tell you about
that when we get back Country Boys. Roofing is John Eipman,
his son Zach, and several other people, key members of
that team who will come to your house inspect your
roof for you and not gonna get charged for that.
If they find something wrong, they'll fix it. They'll fix
it honestly, fairly, affordably, and permanently, so you don't have

(27:30):
to worry about it anymore. And nobody wants to worry
about a bad lit on their house. I had an
issue a while back, and it bugged me, and it
bothered me and for the longest time. The first time
I heard a range drop hit the roof, I just
kind of cringed and my stomach nodded up. Not anymore,
though I'm in good shape now. I've been talking to
John Eiman for a long time about all the little

(27:50):
things he does for his customers that separate him, and
it really it just comes down to honesty and not
asking for money up front. He's not going to ask
you for any money until the job's done, and then
he'll get paid. And if you can't just whip out
the check book and write a check for a whole
brand new roof, that's okay. He's got a finance company

(28:11):
he's working with right now, and they'll help you make
those payments a little easier. If you are a first responder,
if you are an educator, if you are past or
present military, and that includes a whole lot of this audience.
Any one of those three things, you are more than
welcome to a fifteen hundred dollars discount off a full

(28:33):
replacement roof. And now that's you don't have to tell
him up front, and he's just going to work the
numbers where it looks like you get one. No, you
can wait till the end of the conversation when he's
shown you the bottom line, and then say, oh, by
the way, I'm a teacher. Okay, fifteen hundred dollars off.
By the way, I don't qualify for any of that,
but hey, Doug sent me do that, and you get

(28:55):
one thousand dollars off. Now, he can't do both. That's
not fair to John. He's got to make a living.
But he will do that just for anybody in my
audience who comes to him and needs a full roof
and gets it done thousand dollars off the price. And
that's pretty handy. Country Boy's roofing, Country with a K,
Boys with a Z. For you younger listeners on, behalf
of your parents, and for the grandparents and great grandparents

(29:18):
in this audience. I know I've got people in their
nineties listening, and I've got people in their thirties listening.
Everybody gets a great deal with country Boy's roofing and
you can spell it however you want, old schools spell
it with a C and a C country boy, seeing
as that's where we need it. Either way you'll find

(29:39):
it Countryboysroofing dot com Old Guy's rule.

Speaker 1 (29:44):
And of course women never get old if you want
to avoid sleeping on the couch.

Speaker 2 (29:50):
Okay, I think that sounds like a good pleath.

Speaker 1 (29:53):
Fifty plus continues. Here's more with Doug Hi.

Speaker 2 (29:57):
Welcome back.

Speaker 3 (29:57):
Final segment of the show where it starts right now. No,
thank you all for listening. Great to do, appreciate it.
If you're wondering who is going to lead the Democrats,
and I know a lot of people who are Democrats,
and I don't feel like they're part of this really
really extreme part of the party. Most of the people

(30:20):
I know will sit down and we can agree to
disagree on stuff in any event. There's a woman, a
millennial socialist who is forty three years old, okay, still
happily takes money from her parents. And she is a
woman who quit college, quit her education funded by her parents.

(30:43):
By the way, they footed every dime for this. She
quit just six weeks before graduation. Yeah, I still want
to do this anymore. They paid for all of that,
and she's not paying them back. She's actually still taking
money from them to pay her way through life. And
she is poised if the vote counting stays consistent. They're

(31:06):
really they're still working on it. Well passed the election,
but she is poised to become the new socialist with
all the Momdney promises, and then some the new mayor
of Seattle, Washington. This wave of voter ignorance we're living

(31:27):
with right now is very frustrating. These are people. I
mentioned it yesterday. I believe most of the people who
are voting this way are too young to remember nine
to eleven in the tremendous uptick in patriotism, the tremendous
coming together of Americans when that happened. They weren't there

(31:53):
for it. They don't have any way to know how
impactful that was on our country, and you're certainly not
going to read about it or be taught about it
in school. I'd be willing to bet that the attacks
on our country on September eleventh were not were, but

(32:13):
are at best glossed over as just oh yeah, and
on that day a bunch of people plashing crashing planes
and and killed a bunch of people and there, And
I know I've seen accounts where they conveniently take out
who was responsible for those attacks. They conveniently leave out

(32:35):
that important piece of information. They never identify the enemy.
And it's it's really frustrating because these kids aren't aren't
being taught this in history, they're not studying it on
their own, and that makes it impossible for them really
not to repeat the same mistakes. It's a real threat

(32:58):
to our country. And somehow, someway we got to get
over this. Voting in someone who basically hasn't ever had
a job, well that's kind of you know what, that's
just like mom, Donnie, that's going to be two people
never had a job, but getting elected to public office
to run the lives of people who are trying to
make a living by working their tails off. Where on

(33:20):
earth does that make sense. I don't want somebody who's
never had to wrestle with a tax return or never
had to make sacrifices to pay off one thing. So
you didn't get in trouble with another. I don't want
that person running my life. Oh back to what I
promised I would tell you, And I almost almost forgot,

(33:42):
but I saw this big star that I drew next
to it. Now in music News, the top country song
in the United States at present is a song called
Walk My Walk by Breaking Rust, whatever or whoever that is,
and what this is is a song that was created

(34:05):
by AI. I believe the voice is artificial intelligence, so
never miss as a note. There's that Breaking Rust has
that going for it, I guess you could say. And
it's just the latest and a building wave of AI
generated music and lyrics and voices that who knows how.

(34:28):
Anything that can be used for good can also be
used for bad, And at some point there may come
a time when there is subliminal messaging in these AI
written songs to for or not force, but to coax
people toward specific ideologies, specific thoughts, specific preferences of this,

(34:51):
that and the other. On the plus side, though, there's
also now this Breaking Rust thing. The people who produce
that song deny that AI was used to create it.
But we also in the world of AI have AI
buster software. The professors and high school teachers use it
all the time to detect whether someone used AI to

(35:13):
write a paper, and the software is showing with sixty
to ninety percent certainty that AI had a part in
creating the song that is now number one country song
in our country. So hass off to the people who
are still writing songs, still getting them right out of
their heads. Just sit down with a piece of paper,

(35:36):
sit down with a pen or pencil, and just write,
Write the dog on song. Sit down at the keyboard,
write a song. Sit down and write the music, and
then sing it, and then get it produced and then
see how it goes. I don't want computers making my
music for me. We don't well close to it. Minute,

(35:57):
half a minute, nothing. Ten, I see the hands are
in the air.

Speaker 2 (36:01):
Here we go.

Speaker 1 (36:02):
Get him up, Get him up, get him.

Speaker 3 (36:03):
Up, raise the roof. Will ten nine, Oh my gosh,
such pressure. Will All right, there's more for tomorrow. I
promise you we'll have a good day then, just like
we had one today. Audios, be safe.

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
